Compliance Monitor eyes QM, NCUA risk guidance
JiJi Bahhur
Jan. 3, 2014 – The January NAFCU
Compliance Monitor
and provides in-depth articles on CFPB's qualified mortgage rule, NCUA's supervisory guidance on enterprise risk management and important compliance deadlines for 2014.
In response to concerns about the 43 percent debt-to-income ratio limitation from the general QM definition, NAFCU Director of Regulatory Compliance JiJi Bahhur focused on the three categories of mortgages that are still afforded QM status even though there is no 43 percent or less debt-to-income ratio requirement. Bahhur provided the function of each of these QM categories and how credit unions can comply with the requirements.
"If it is the policy of your credit union to make mortgage loans using a DTI ratio over 43 percent, it does not necessarily mean that the loan will not receive the protections of a qualified mortgage," Bahhur wrote. "The final rule provides three other categories of loans with bright line requirements that will receive qualified mortgage status if certain criteria are met."
also provides a chart detailing the basic components of an enterprise risk management framework, as established by the NCUA guidance issued in November. Senior Regulatory Compliance Counsel Bernadette Clair wrote on how credit unions of varying sizes can benefit from the core principles of this guidance.
Finally, the
also features the "Compliance Forum" of frequently asked or particularly important compliance questions and answers from NAFCU staff. This month's "Forum" includes discussion of NCUA's 18 percent interest rate cap on business credit cards, Regulation CC, new mortgage rules and share insurance coverage.

From toddler-powered choo-choos like Thomas the Tank Engine to Tyco�s more serious electric model train sets, trains, tracks, and stations fascinate children of all ages.
Be they dump, garbage, monster, or fire, trucks appeal to kids of all ages and genders.
Wind-Up Toys
From music boxes and chattering teeth to crawling critters and swimming scuba divers, wind-up toys entertain kids while teaching them cause-and-effect.
Product Features
Be they wooden, plastic, metal, or cloth, baby toys are designed with your tiny player in mind. Some are best suited for indoors, while others are much better for outside or for when you and your Baby are on the go.
Some baby toys may be geared for a certain play location such as indoors, outside, or in the water.
Baby toys can be made out of plastic, metal, wood, foam, or fabric. All toys sold in the U.S. are required to meet material safety regulations set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Some baby toys may have loops, rings, or Velcro to attach the toy to a crib, stroller, highchair, or baby carrier. These attachments make it easy to take the toys from place to place and prevent them from getting lost.
Some baby toys are easy to clean in the washing machine or dishwasher.
Multiple Uses
Many toys, such as blocks, sorting toys, and animals, support various types of play.
Whether with lights, music, noises, or movement, many baby toys are interactive, entertaining children and teaching them about cause-and-effect.
Babies put nearly everything in their mouths, so baby toys are designed to withstand drool and chewing; some even have antibacterial surfaces. However, still be cautious of toys with small parts that may break off and pose a potential choking hazard.
Aside from entertainment, baby toys can teach children about letters, numbers, shapes, sounds, colors, object names, and textures.
Purchase Considerations
Before you buy a baby toy, keep in mind its age range, durability, versatility, and educational value. Also consider its storage requirements.
Age range
Many toys will list a recommended age range for those who use it. If you have more than one child in the house, be sure the toy is safe for all of them or that it is kept out of reach of younger children.
Kids are notoriously rough on toys. Select toys that look like they can withstand a few flights through the air or trips down the stairs.
Kids are great at repurposing objects, and toys are a natural fit for this. Choose options such as blocks, which can be played with in a variety of ways -- and at different ages and stages -- to build creativity and prolong use.
Educational value
There�s nothing wrong with toys that are purely fun. Yet take advantage of the sponge-like nature of kids at this early stage and select toys that will help develop their cognitive, linguistic, and/or fine-motor skills.
Before you buy a baby toy, consider if you have adequate space and containers in which to store it. No one wants a pile of life-sized stuffed animals crowding up her living room.

Paris pitfalls continue for Roddick
Updated: May 29, 2010, 11:50 AM ETBy Greg Garber | ESPN.com
PARIS -- Andy Roddick reached the fourth round here last year at the French Open, a career best, and coming into the 2010 event there was modest optimism about his chances to repeat that feat -- even though he hadn't played a single clay-court match as preparation.
He won his first two matches, grinding it out on the damp dirt, but with the non-threatening Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili standing between him and a return to the round of 16, Roddick couldn't summon the necessary ...

Pittsburgh Penguins tie Washington Capitals atop the East standings thanks to tonight's games
Dec 4, 2010, 10:07 PM EDT
(Technically, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals might be considered the No. 1 teams in the NHL if the Detroit Red Wings only come away with a point or less against the Los Angeles Kings tonight. That being said, I simply cannot call either one superior to Detroit considering the fact that the Red Wings will finish Saturday with 24 games played to Pittsburgh and Washington's 28. So let's keep the discussion to the Eastern Conference then, OK?)
It seems like Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins are flat-out unstoppable right now. Crosby scored two goals to push himself into the NHL lead in goal scoring with 23 (Steve Stamkos is stuck at 21, even though his Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Colorado Avalanche) while the Pens pushed their dominant winning streak to nine games.
The game was almost over after the first period, a time frame in which the Penguins took a 4-0 lead and out-shot the hapless Blue Jackets 16-2. Steve Mason only managed to play a little under 16 minutes in this game, allowing four goals and then making way for Mathieu Garon (who allowed three more). Marc-Andre Fleury continued his streak of being the other ridiculously torrid Penguin, stopping 21 out of 23 shots to win his 11th.
Crosby wasn't the only Pittsburgh player to score two goals, either, as Paul Martin managed two unassisted power-play goals in the first period.
This win puts the Penguins at 18 wins and 38 points on the season, which would tie them with the Washington Capitals if they lost in regulation to the still-very-hot Atlanta Thrashers.
… Which is exactly what happened.
Only Alex Ovechkin could solve Ondrej Pavelec, who continues to operate on a whole other plane of hockey existence. He stopped 45 out of 46 shots against one of the most explosive offenses in the NHL. Semyon Varlamov wasn't half-bad himself (30 out of 33 saves), but he was no match for Pavelec.
Rich Peverley, Alexander Burmistrov and Andrew Ladd scored for Atlanta.
While the Caps are suffering from a slight hiccup (two losses in a row), the Thrashers have won seven of eight games, only losing to (wait for it) the Penguins on Thursday.

One man honored his late wife in an out-of-this-world way.
Before her death from pancreatic cancer in 2012, Kevin Doyle's wife, Eileen, was a hu...
Read Whole Story
According to articles in a variety of scientific journals, numerous substances extracted from marine life (including fungi, sponges, algae, mollusks, "sea squirts," coral, and seaweed) have potential to fight other kinds of challenging cancers.
In the last blog, I wrote about starting treatment with Dr. Isacoff in Los Angeles to find a way to deal with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Since I li...
It is increasingly up to us -- patients and families -- to advocate aggressively for better treatments and ensure that we are getting the right treatment for ourselves.
I had no idea that being in the same room as someone who passes away can be a "gift." Mainly because that had never happened to me before. And if asked, I would have said, "How awful."
Yet, being with Mom for her last breath, was anything but awful.
I looked down at my car keys, swinging from their red lanyard. It was February. No one goes prom dress shopping in February. But when everyone went in March and April, she'd be dead.
British 12-year-old William Heath can't grow a real mustache yet, but he's already won "Movember," the annual November-long fundraiser in which men gr...
Cynics call October "Pinktober." I am not a cynic. But I feel a little sad when October ends only because many companies and journalists redirect their attention to other "seasonal causes" that sell their products and newspapers, viewers and ratings.
Their Pop is the one they saw last month, the last time they saw him. The Pop that was not feeling well that day. The Pop that slept most of the day, but still managed to get up and spend some time with them.
There is no place to hide. You have got to be svelte if you want to stay healthy and outsmart cancer. And if you have cancer or want to avoid getting...
Increased volunteer participation in trials offers patients access to cutting-edge treatments and contributes to the development of better treatments to prolong life and eventually drive those cancers into remission.
When my parents and I first stepped foot inside the Zentralklinik in Bad Berka, Germany, last year, my first thought was: This looks like one of those miraculous places in documentaries where people with impossible medical conditions go, and then come out without them.
Cancer is not a competition. Oh, well, it is if you ask Official Pancreatic Action -- their latest ad campaign features a picture of a woman, with a bald head (presumably from chemo), and next to her is a quote, "I wish I had breast cancer."
BRCA is a difficult gift. Having a hysterectomy and double mastectomy was no picnic, but I've learned so much, gained new insights and made so many friends I never would have met otherwise. It's led me down paths I never expected, but in spite of it all, I love my life and I'm glad I was born.
I have a lot to be thankful for this November. I am a living example that there is hope in beating the odds against pancreatic cancer. I am a competitor. And in the race against pancreatic cancer, I know together, we can win.
Pancreatic cancer is notoriously deadly, in large part because it's so rarely detected at early stages before it has spread beyond the pancreas. But r...
I learned so much from him in my early years as a chaplain, and I was privileged to learn from him, yet again, almost 15 years later, as we talked about his dying.
"Paranormal State" star Ryan Buell was only 29 years old when he was delivered the shocking news that he had pancreatic cancer. Now the 31-year-old pa...
This day is also about remembering the heroes who are still here, who touched our lives and held our family up as we struggled to process our enormous loss and rebuild our lives in the years that followed.
With the knowledge we now have in hand, the collaborations underway through this consortium and other initiatives, and the outstanding scientific capabilities of these world-class institutions, there is reason for great optimism in the face of pancreatic cancer's grim reality.
When Jack Andraka was only 15-years-old, he made an incredible discovery that could change the way we detect cancer. Today, he's continuing to share h...

When Elena Gitelson began experiencing back pain toward the end of 2012, she did what any hospital doctor might do: took herself to get a CT scan.
While individual health care decisions in the wake of a cancer diagnosis belong to the patient, there are some questions that my mother asked -- or didn't know to ask until things went awry -- that may be helpful for others to keep in mind when chemotherapy is presented as an option.

Alternatives to Employment
The most common expectation for college graduates is that they find a job immediately after graduation. By no means is this maintained by every graduate, nor is it the only option. Public service has a strong appeal on resumes and may assist in paying off student loans. Many positions come with a stipend or living allowance so you can work with minimal financial strain. Most importantly, you will be making a difference in the world that ideal in a full-time position.
AmeriCorps is a national service program that coordinates volunteering at the local, state, and national level within the United States. Three main programs fall under AmeriCorps: AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps VISTA, and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps). Volunteers engage in activities ranging from tutoring disadvantaged youth to cleaning parks.
Volunteers are eligible to receive an education stipend up to $5,350 after one year of service, which can be used to pay for college, graduate school, or student loan debt. AmeriCorps participants are also eligible to receive a stipend for housing, childcare, and living expenses. Typically this stipend amounts to far less than a regular, full-time salary. Since AmeriCorps puts you in touch with organizations who make a difference in your community, service can become a valuable networking tool and an impressive addition to your resume or graduate school applications.
Peace Corps
The Peace Corps coordinates service projects in 74 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Peace Corps volunteers get a chance to see the world, make a substantial difference in their assigned communities, and experience life abroad. Volunteers are also able to defer student loan payments, have part of their Perkins Loan balance canceled, and receive a living allowance that will enable them to live comfortable in their assigned community. Service commitments in the Peace Corps typically last 27 months.
Teaching Abroad
Kicking yourself for not studying abroad while you were in college? It may be too late to participate in a study abroad program as part of your bachelor's degree, but you can still live and work abroad temporarily while making a difference in the lives of others. One of the best options for doing this is to teach English abroad.
English as a Second Language programs exist in many countries and vary in requirements, qualifications, and pay scales. Some high-paying programs in Europe will require a graduate degree or certificate in ESL while other programs may only request English proficiency and a bachelor's degree. Programs may require starting fees to arrange placement with a school and for certification. It is also possible to be directly hired by a school. Certain programs offer training, housing, airfare, and then some, depending on the country's living costs and your teaching qualifications. You may have the opportunity to bring home a considerable salary as well. Generally those hired through reputable channels will take home enough to live comfortably in the country for the duration of their employment.
Teaching in America
If you would rather teach without going abroad, consider looking into local teaching programs. Students who earned a bachelor's degree or higher education but have no completed an education degree or teaching certificate can participate in teacher training programs as alternative routes for certification. This is a good way to serve disadvantaged communities.
The most well-known teaching program isTeach for America, which has been training and placing teachers in high-need schools since 1990. Teach for America corps members go through a rigorous application and interview process before being placed in one of 35 urban or rural areas. Placements last two years and come with a salary comparable to experienced beginning teachers. Generally, Teach for America participants are able to receive teacher certification in their assigned state within two years, and are able to continue working in education once their placement term has ended.
Similar teaching programs exist in other areas, including the New York City or Chicago Teaching Fellows. These programs provide teacher certifications and salaries, and may even grant master's degrees in education. Look into whether your city sponsors comparable programs that could get you one step closer to a teaching job.

What You Missed Last Night: Matt Damon isn't dead and George Clooney isn't gay
by Bob Sassone, posted Sep 11th 2009 11:33AM
Matt Damon was on The Late Show last night to promote his new film The Informant! As usual, he did his Matthew McConaughey impersonation for Dave and they also talked about a recent web rumor that Damon had died (really? I guess I missed that one).
This led to Damon telling another story about the Venice Film Festival involving George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and a stripping journalist.

The people of this Bulgarian town of Ribnovo are famous for performing their unique wedding ceremonies in winter time only.
The inhabitants of the mountain village of Ribnovo are Bulgarian-speaking Muslims, sometimes referred to as "Pomaks" or "people who have suffered". Muslim Bulgarians are descendants of Christian Bulgarians who were forcibly converted to Islam by the Turks, during the 14th, 16th and the 18th century.

Backroads of Country Cork
... beautiful! Bay's are spread like fingers up and down the coast, villages and towns popping up around them. The GPS beeps out you have arrived, but we see no stone circle. We drive up a hillside and see an older woman pruning her garden. We stop and ask her for directions. She asks Genny to get out of the car and Elizabeth hears what sounds like "Get out of the car and have a snack." Genny, a bit nervously, exits the car and disappears over the ...
My Birthday!
... both ways and Doug secured the table in the window for the evening. We continued on to the Eagle Point campsite at Ballylickey and had the most magnificent pitch over-looking Bantry Bay and Whiddy Island. We had about an hour to get ready and then Chris and Doug joined us to sample my Birthday bottle of Bucks Fizz, courtesy of Russ and Anna. Thanks guys it was scrummy! The taxi arrived early and we got down to the restaurant in record time ...

K stopped the woman from coming into the camper all the time hanging onto her handbag. The woman also tried the line of 'we have no money and are almost out of petrol' all the while pretending to be drunk... not a nice experience.
Lip's as hard as a rock!
... before heading back onto the road to head to Dingle.
It is actually quite hard to find anywhere in Ireland, most places don't really have street names or numbers, its more just, the name of the place and you kind of have to figure it out! I would call these places up and they would give me GPS coordinates of their location, which most of the time didn't work. Much was the case for our accommodation for the night. I guessed it ...

... It lead us down a paved road, then a dirt road past some houses and finally into a field. We had to climb over the farmers fence (a ladder was provided) and a sign warned us to mind the cattle-leave only but footprints. It was the most random path but we enjoyed walking through the fields that had the ocean to our left and mountains to our right. We finally came out to the main road that would take us back to town, but we weren't ready so we headed back the way ...

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – The Metropolitan Transit Authority is hoping to keep everyone in the holiday spirit with its schedule that calls for extra and early trains, according to a Thursday news release.
"Extra early getaway service" will begin Friday as trains depart Grand Central Terminal around noon. As a result of light ridership at night, "some trains may be canceled or combined," according to the release.
For last minute shoppers, the MTA will have "Shoppers' Special" service on Saturday and Sunday, which means extra trains on the Harlem, New Haven, and Hudson lines.
Christmas Eve is on a Monday, but service will operate on a "Saturday schedule with extra service" in the morning and night peak periods.
Christmas Day will see extra service throughout the day and night on the Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven Lines.
From Dec. 26 through Dec. 28, the MTA will be offering "plenty of extra service during the day," according to the release.
On New Year's Eve, the MTA "will provide a Saturday schedule with extra service in the a.m. and p.m. peak periods, as well as additional inbound trains in the late afternoon/early evening, and our traditional post-midnight late night/early morning service to get you home safely," the release said.
Extra trains will be provided on New Year's Day as well.
The MTA asks that you buy your train tickets in advance because they will be collected at the gate in Grand Central. You are not allowed to bring open alcohol containers onto the train.
They also offered a ticket tip for those traveling with family.
"We suggest purchasing an off-peak ten-trip ticket," the release said. "In addition to the discount, it is transferable, so everyone can use it."

SEE ALSO: [Updated] f(x)'s Sulli and Dynamic Duo's Choiza allegedly spotted on a date
Even despite more pictures such as the one below surfacing, in an unsurprising turn of events, SM Entertainment denied the dating rumors as they stated, "[Choiza] is only a sunbae who is like a brother to Sulli. They are not dating. Since they are close, they meet often."
Although Sulli and Choiza were spotted holding hands in the previously revealed photos and video clip, according to SM Entertainment, the two merely have a brother-sister relationship.
What are your thoughts? Do they seem like just friends or something more?

i want sulli happy . that's all
You guys are really ignorant kids.
Do you know exactly how accomplished and attractive of a hip hop artist Choiza is? He's one of the most respected artists in the industry. To most Korean woman he's A LOT more attractive than an idol. Stop thinking like children.
fxtoi· Posted March 3, 2014 @ 11:40 pm
He's just too old... I saw a pic of BTS where Minho and Sulli held hands, and nobody reacted negatively there..... what if she's just soooooooooooooooooo one in a million that no one will ever understand the way she does things.. heheh.. I still love her no matter what... But if Choiza and Sulli is real..I hope they break up! hahaha!
i think that it would be better that sm just confirmed it. do you walk around holding hands with your brother/sister? she would lose her innocent image, but she could channel it into making a new image for herself the way iu did. sm's constant denials will only bring backlash in the future...
i'm not a sulli fan (i'm not even an f(x) fan) but i support her 100% here. she's doing what she wants to do and isn't it true that love has no age? as long as he treats her well, i'm all for it
hey guys so after all this crap about SM denying and stuff ...does anyone know what the final result was ? like any other updated news or something ?! THANKSS !!!
I hope everybody get why Sm won't say "yes they are dating"
Sulli is representing somehow being pure, innocent, and now she's dating someone 14 yrs
Sm thinks that if they approve the rumor, she'll lose CF contracts, she won't have the same image, they'll rather keep it low then ruining Sulli CF image => so they are losing money
People keeps saying, 14 years, it's the same for H.O.T tony and the girls' day member.
If sully is happy, I'm an af(x)ction I'm happy.
Choiza Oppa take good care of our little Sully who now became a woman. <3 <3<3
According to a guy's post in his blog (who sat next to Sulli and saw Sulli in Yunshinnae with C#/Choiza) found by peach20kr in MinSul Soompi Thread Part 2.
He wrote : The place was packed with people, so if they really dated, it was totally wrong place, and they wouldn't be there. and sorry for overhearing your talk (sulli and C#), but their conversation was all about music stuff, ㅋㅋㅋ anyway" I have no idea about what happened in Seoul Woods, but (at the street bar) Sulli was complaining about her uncomfortable chair just like a guy's way of speaking,., ㅋㅋ and she laughed out and then she changed her chair by herself and took out a hat from her shopping bag and put it on,.. anyway they didn't seem to date at all,.ㅋㅋ if they dated, C# would help her change her chair by himself(but he didn't) and they didn't talk in a friendly way as a couple at all, ㅋㅋ by the way how it was possible to take a picture of them cause every seat was set to be very close,… it was at 11:23 when I sent my friend a text message about spotting them and it was at almost 2 a.m when they said good-bye, and when C# offered to take sulli home, Sulli said "No" (that's OK) ㅋㅋ anyway I was so happy to see Sulli there,..
peach20kr: some of the people who spotted them there said the same thing "they didn't seem to date at all",.. and some people who came to DD concert and university festival wrote it in a twitter that C# seemed to take advantage of sulli's popularity cause he seemed to show off and enjoy his closeness to sulli, and they added if he really cherished Sulli he wouldn't act like that. C# succeeded in getting public attention and he was often mentioned in some shows and even ended up with collaborating with a famous singer, SSH and making a new album with him,..I especially really hated him when he said he jokingly held Sulli's hand at that time,..
my insight: F*CKING KILL CHOIZA, NOW! JUST NOW.
brother-sister relationship? yeah right sm
Um a little nasty 14 yrs is a bit steep but i'm not sleeping with him so my opinion does not matter...
and when has SM ever really not denied a dating rumor...please -__-
I see couple shoes
iloveyesung· Posted September 29, 2013 @ 10:04 am
SM! Let your talents be happy! They're human too, and need to be love and experience being in a relationship!
C'mon! Don't be too selfish...
Honestly, I'm happy for Sulli. :)
