Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating Mortgages

The Effects of FASB 91

Ronnie J. Clayton, Frank J. Navratil

This paper discusses several conceptual and empirical issues regarding alternative methods of accounting for discount points on mortgages. Methods widely used by lenders prior to 1988 tend to bring deferred fee income into earnings more rapidly than FASB believes is economically justified. While FASB concedes that prepayments on mortgages do reduce the amount of time that loan fees should be deferred, their suggested remedy is quite cumbersome to apply. For this reason, two alternative accounting techniques are presented and discussed in detail. The cash flows of institutions are not directly affected by the method use to account for deferred loan fees. Although simulations show that various accounting methods do yield significantly different results, the method chosen will neither save nor destroy that thrift industry. S&Ls' economic performance will continue to be driven by their ability to handle the basic maturity mismatch between their assets and liabilities.

Demystifying Hospice

Inside the Stories of Patients and Caregivers

Karen J. Clayton

Hospice care is available to patients and families dealing with terminal illness. People often do not avail themselves of hospice care because they don’t understand what it entails. Many wait until their last few days to request this extraordinary comfort care instead of using the full six months available to them through Medicare and other insurance options. Demystifying Hospice describes through stories good news about end-of-life issues. Written from the perspective of a licensed social worker with experience in public and private hospitals, hospice, and the American Cancer Society, these first-hand accounts of patients, family members, hospice workers and others will lift spirits, touch hearts, and illustrate the advantages of hospice care. These are real-life examples of personalized comfort care, offered by an interdisciplinary team, where ever the patient lives. Each story addresses some aspect of helping families through the caregiving and grieving process, which are part-and-parcel of a serious illness, and offers comfort and understanding to readers who may be going through similar experiences. This book describes hope, healing, and support through difficult times.

The Man I Never Wanted To Be

A Novel

John J. Clayton

David is a refugee from the late sixties and early seventies, now teaching at a community college in Western Massachusetts. Committed to helping his working-class students, he is also a part-time father who is trying to raise his son in a responsible and loving way. When he meets an old lover from the seventies who runs a center for battered women in Boston, and she asks him to help out in an emergency, David finds that his life and his son’s begin to spiral into an increasingly dangerous and terrifying sequence of events. David is finally forced to confront his own violence and to examine his life from a different perspective.

Walt Whitman's America

A Cultural Biography

David S. Reynolds

"Exploring the full range of writings by and about Whitman - not just his most famous work but also his earliest poems and stories, his conversations, letters, journals, newspaper writings, and daybooks - Reynolds gives us a full, rounded picture of the man, of his creative blending of disparate ideas and images, and his contradictory stances on race, class, and gender." "Whitman's uniqueness is shown to spring primarily from his closeness to and absorption of his contemporary culture. We see how the social convulsions of Jacksonian America were mirrored in the tribulations of the poet's family, and how Whitman's private anguish, which can be felt in his early poems, was swept up in his growing alarm for a nation riven by sectional controversies, political corruption, and class division." "Into the vacuum created by the social and political crises rushed Whitman's gargantuan poetic "I," gathering images from every facet of American life in a hopeful gesture of unity: the cocky defiance of the Bowery b'hoys, the rhythms and inflections of actors and orators, the bloodcurdling sensationalism of penny papers, the incandescent images of luminist painters, the zany visions of popular mystics. We see Whitman in a society rampant with illicit sexual activity, which it refused to acknowledge. We see him aligning his passion for young men with the psychological and behavioral customs of a century in which same-sex love was actually common."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Alencar:iracema Lla P

José Martiniano de Alencar

Jose de Alencar's prose-poem Iracema, first published in 1865, is a classic of Brazilian literature--perhaps the most widely-known piece of fiction within Brazil, and the most widely-read of Alencar;s many works. Set in the sixteenth century, it is an extremely romantic portrayal of a doomed live between a Portuguese soldier and an Indian maiden. Iracema reflects the gingerly way that mid-nineteenth century Brazil dealt with race mixture and multicultural experience. Precisely because of its nineteenth-century romanticism, Iracema strongly contributed to a Brazilian sense of nationhood--contemporary Brazilian writers and literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.

The Spanish Eye

Painters and Poets of Spain

Robert Havard

The guiding principle of this title is that the 'sister arts' of painting and poetry are mutually illuminating, their common currency being the visual image. Five masters - El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, Picasso and Dali - are discussed, with a view to distinguishing what is peculiarly Spanish in their way of looking at reality.

The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism: Volume 7, Modernism and the New Criticism

George Alexander Kennedy

This volume of The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, first published in 2000, provides a thorough account of the critical tradition emerging with the modernist and avant-garde writers of the early twentieth century (Eliot, Pound, Stein, Yeats), continuing with the New Critics (Richards, Empson, Burke, Winters), and feeding into the influential work of Leavis, Trilling and others who helped form the modern institutions of literary culture. The core period covered is 1910-60, but explicit connections are made with nineteenth-century traditions and there is discussion of the implications of modernism and the New Criticism for our own time, with its inherited formalism, anti-sentimentalism, and astringency of tone. The book provides a companion to the other twentieth-century volumes of The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, and offers a systematic and stimulating coverage of the development of the key literary-critical movements, with chapters on groups and genres as well as on individual critics.

The Sociology of Literature

Poems and Prose of the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Luo Shijin

This groundbreaking book offers a fresh perspective on classical Chinese literature. Using literary sociology, it demonstrates how social, cultural, and political forces shaped the poetry and prose of the time, and how writers responded to it. The author employs the compelling metaphor of a “literary ferry” to carry intellectuals, their creative works, and literary practices across historical waters. Through this conceptual framework, the book sheds light on the interplay between literary texts from the Ming and Qing dynasties and their broader contexts, including historical movements, societal structures, class dynamics, institutional systems, clan relationships, community networks, market economies, and geographical influences. It meticulously examines how literature navigates complex social and historical currents while preserving its aesthetic integrity and distinctive literary qualities. Furthermore, it establishes a comprehensive methodological framework for analysing how social environments shape literary production and reception throughout China's rich literary history. This volume will serve as an invaluable reference for researchers and students specializing in traditional Chinese literature and comparative literary studies, particularly resonating with scholars studying the intersection of literature and sociology. For general readers, the book offers a fascinating exploration of the cultural, social, and historical forces that shaped China's greatest literary masterpieces.
