|The FDIC: At Your Service
How the FDIC helps consumers with their banking questions and problems...and how you can help yourself
You know the FDIC as the guardian of your deposits in insured banks and savings institutions. But the FDIC plays many other consumer-protection roles, and one of those jobs is to assist consumers with their banking-related questions and problems.
Each year, the FDIC gets thousands of calls and letters from consumers and consumer representatives asking questions or expressing concerns about banking matters. Most of these requests are handled by the agency's Division of Compliance and Consumer Affairs. We encourage consumers to contact us. Why? Because:
s As one of several federal regulators of banking institutions, the FDIC is responsible for enforcing compliance with consumer protection and civil rights laws at about 6,000 banks in the U.S.
s Better understanding consumer concerns about banks helps us improve our examination procedures and the rules governing consumer protection programs.
s As the federal insurer of deposits in more than 10,000 banks and savings institutions, we believe that the more you know about deposit insurance and your rights and responsibilities, the more confidence you'll have in the entire financial system.
So the next time you have a question about your banking relationship, especially one that involves deposit insurance or a problem you can't resolve directly with your institution, think of the FDIC as a place to turn. Here's how we help consumers:
1. Responses to complaints against a
financial institution.
In some circumstances, such as those involving lending discrimination, the FDIC may refer suspected or actual violations of law to other government agencies (such as the U.S. Department of Justice).
But remember that while the FDIC insures deposits in nearly all banks and savings associations in the United States, the FDIC may not be the primary regulator of a particular institution. If your financial institution is supervised by the FDIC, our specialists in the Division of Compliance and Consumer Affairs can provide you with information about your rights as a consumer and, in some cases, may work with you and your bank to try to resolve the matter. But even if your financial institution isn't supervised by the FDIC, our specialists can help put you in touch with the agency that can assist you. (Names, addresses and phone numbers for the five federal regulators of depository institutions )
Regrettably, a large percentage of the problems consumers tell us about are simply beyond the FDIC's legal authority. For example: The FDIC can't settle a complaint that a bank didn't properly record a loan or interest payment to a consumer's account. Why? Because that's a dispute between a bank and a consumer over whether the institution is living up to the terms of a loan or deposit agreement, and that's a private matter governed by state contract law, not by federal banking law. Our best advice in these situations often is to try to solve the problem with the bank directly, and if that doesn't work, to consider enlisting the help of the state government or a private attorney. The FDIC also doesn't comment on matters that are in litigation.
Even when a problem is beyond our authority to resolve, the FDIC sometimes assists consumers indirectly. We might, for example, help a consumer understand confusing information, contact an institution that appears to be dragging its feet in response to a customer's complaint, or refer a consumer to a state government office (perhaps the state financial institution regulator, consumer protection department or state Attorney General) that might provide additional assistance.
2. Answers to requests for information.
One new way the FDIC helps individual consumers answer their deposit insurance questions is through an interactive Internet site called the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE), found at our www.fdic.gov Web site. By answering some simple questions about your accounts, EDIE can help you quickly and easily figure out whether your funds in an FDIC-insured institution are within the $100,000 insurance limit.
3. Publications, meetings and other
outreach efforts.
The FDIC also has a Community Affairs Program, where staff specialists meet regularly with bankers, community organizations, small businesses and local government leaders. We conduct conferences and seminars to help educate bankers and consumers about the Community Reinvestment Act and other fair lending laws and regulations.

With her trademark glossy imagery, Stewart has always sold an appealing version of Americana, and this latest addition to her cookbook library, focused on American cuisine, is no exception. Diverse and all-encompassing, this volume ranges from the date shakes of California to the Indian pudding of Massachusetts. Chapters are organized by region, starting with all-American dishes such as hamburgers, apple pie, and macaroni and cheese, and moving on to the specific foods of the Northeast, South, Midwest, Southwest, and West. Rustic, homey fare, like shrimp and grits and Texas sheet cake, dominates the proceedings, but in Stewart's hands, the tuna noodle casserole is updated with anchovies and artichoke hearts; the North Carolina–style pulled pork sandwich is served on homemade cornmeal rolls; and the pineapple upside-down cake relies on fresh fruit. The running "Regional Flavor" highlights individual ingredients, such as clams and pineapple. Clear, reliable instruction, coupled with interesting facts and tidbits (did you know that Athens, Tex., is the black-eyed pea capital of the world?) make this a welcome addition to the canon.

Martha does America in classic style
Martha Stewart and her extraordinary lifestyle conglomerate continue to influence the way we cook, entertain, garden, decorate and get married. In Martha's American Food, the indomitable Ms. Stewart offers her classic take, tweaked in Martha-esque style, on the American classics that define our cuisine as a whole and that celebrate our regional diversity. She's selected 190 recipes for satisfying All-American stalwarts and local favorites from five distinct parts of the country. Almost every dish, from Philadelphia Cheesesteak to Louisiana Bread Pudding, has its own fascinating foodie backstory. It's a treat to have all these American pleasures in one colorful, carefully crafted collection.
Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts, the title of Alice Medrich's latest serenade to sweets, is definitely not an oxymoron. To prove that desserts can be delicious, sophisticated, luxurious, even decadent, without being complicated, she offers an array of forgiving, flexible, fabulously flavorful recipes, doable when time is short and skills are not professionally honed. With her unique blend of thoroughness, know-how and charm, Alice shows you how to dress up purchased ice cream, turn all manner of fruits into beguiling sweet endings and make creamy-dreamy puddings. Using her crumb crusts and melted butter press-in dough will avoid "pastry panic," and her one-bowl and food processor approach to cakes will make you a better, stress-free baker.
Ree Drummond, the "accidental country girl" who traded her black heels for tractor wheels and found love, family and fame as a blogger, Food Network star and best-selling author, is back in the saddle again with The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier. This fabulous follow-up to her first cookbook is brimming with gorgeous, super-supportive step-by-step photographs and more than 100 recipes for soups, starters, sides and sweets, plus great ideas for breakfast, lunch and supper. Ree's breezy, easy style informs these simple-but-scrumptious dishes, like her tried-and-true Cowboy Quiche (yes, real men DO eat quiche), light, lively Gazpacho topped with grilled shrimp, Spicy Dr Pepper Pulled Pork, Whiskey-Glazed Carrots and an outstanding Tres Leches Cake. Most of us can't move to a cattle ranch in Oklahoma and marry the "Marlboro Man," but at least we can cook his favorites for our own favorite partners and reap the frontier benefits.

James Moeser
James Moeser, Chancellor Emeritus and Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will become interim chancellor of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts on August 1.
Moeser, who led UNC-Chapel Hill from 2000-2008, will succeed John Mauceri, who last fall announced that he would step down as chancellor on June 30 after seven years in the post. UNCSA Provost David Nelson will serve as acting chancellor from July 1 until Moeser's arrival.
In announcing Moeser's appointment, President Ross said: "James Moeser's vast administrative experience and his demonstrated love of and commitment to the arts and humanities make him uniquely qualified to lead the School of the Arts during a time of transition. He understands the many challenges and opportunities before this very special campus of the University, and I am grateful that he has agreed to accept this important assignment. UNCSA will be in very capable hands during this interim period."
A native of Lubbock, Tex., Moeser earned a bachelor of music degree in organ performance and a master's of music in musicology from the University of Texas at Austin, completed advanced study in Berlin and Paris as a Fulbright scholar, and holds a doctorate in musical arts from the University of Michigan.
In 1966, at the age of 27, Moeser joined the faculty of the University of Kansas as an assistant professor and chair of the Department of Organ. After rising through the academic ranks, he was named dean of the School of Fine Arts in 1975. In 1984, he was named Althaus Distinguished Professor of Organ, becoming the first academic dean at KU ever to hold an endowed chair.
In 1986, Moeser joined Pennsylvania State University as dean of the College of Arts and Architecture. During his six-year tenure at PSU, he maintained an active concert schedule in the U.S. and Europe and served as president of the American Guild of Organists. In 1992, he played his last recital and was named vice president for academic affairs and provost of the University of South Carolina system, a post he held until being named chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1996.
Moeser became chancellor of UNC-Chapel Hill in 2000. During his eight-year tenure at Carolina, he established the Carolina Covenant, a program to provide a debt-free education to talented students from low-income families. He was also credited with defending the University against attacks on academic freedom, overseeing the most successful capital campaign in the university's history, supporting critical investments in scientific research, expanding globalization efforts, and creating the Carolina Performing Arts program.
Since leaving the chancellor's office, Moeser has maintained an active role on Carolina's campus. He co-teaches a first-year seminar in the Department of Music and leads a Faculty Learning Community on Leadership and Strategy for faculty members who have significant institutional leadership assignments. His many honors include the American Council on Education's Reginald Wilson Diversity Leadership Award, election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Duke University.

Connecticut State Police are urging caution for motorists planning to travel this weekend, as part of the state faces a Winter Storm Watch with sleet and freezing rain to follow up to eight inches of snow.
The National Weather Service storm watch, effective for lower Fairfield County, will start at 6 a.m. Saturday and continue through 6 a.m. Sunday.
"A winter storm watch means there is a potential for signficant snow, sleet or ice accumulation that may impact travel," the NWS says.
State police are bracing for the weather by deploying emergency vehicles to handle emergencies, according to a press release issued by the agency.
"Sufficient Troopers will be in place on patrol on roads and highways, with any additional required Troopers on call for immediate response," according to the release, issued by Lt. J. Paul Vance.
It's a good idea to stay off the roads.
A "storm-ready" vehicle will include proper tires and wipers as well as adequate gas, police say.
"If you must travel during the storm, provide your route of travel details to a family member or friend," police say. "Motorists are encouraged to check media reports prior to traveling to gather the latest updates on road conditions and possible closures."
Additionally, motorists are encouraged to use headlights and keep a charged cell phone, clothes, water and non-perishables in their vehicles, as well as flares, a shovel and blankets.
"During a snow event, reducing speed and expanding distances between cars is an absolute necessity for safe driving," police say. "If you become stranded in your vehicle in winter weather, stay with your vehicle and do not try to walk to safety. Call 911 from your cell phone for help. Run the motor for about 10 minutes each hour for heat. Open a window slightly for fresh air and make sure the exhaust pipe is not blocked."

Tim & Shari @ J.CON Salon & Spa – I've been a J.CON client for just over 25 years! I tried many other bay area salons, but never acheived the "look" that I wanted. One day, Joe, the owner, invited me to visit his salon. I guess he looked at my hair and realized I needed help! Wow, what a difference in my appearance now! Tim, my stylist, not only transformed my hair, but has become a close friend as well. His extensive experience, and the many years he served as Training Director, make him one of the most valuable professionals at the salon. Customer satisfaction and the total experience is what it's all about at J.CON. From the moment you enter and are greeted by Shari, to the final blow dry, you are pampered by the very best in the business. I highly recommend J.CON as the premier salon & spa in the Tampa Bay area.
TRUE PROFESSIONALS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – Janet and Steve are the DYNAMIC DUO for fabulous color and style. Having these two apply their skills and experience on my hair enhanced my appearance tremendously. It is true - color and cut - make the difference! They are the best!!! Thank you!!!
Cameron at J-con – J-con studio is wonderful - professional - with all the little extra touches. The owner Joe is so inspirational for his clients and his staff. Cameron is an artist of a stylist. I told him today that I felt like he was painting a picture as he worked on my hair and that he could step back when he was done and be proud of his accomplishment.
Cameron is a professional. I always leave there looking and feeling good.
Katie and J.CON Salon & Spa – I have been going to JCon for over 10 years and I have never been disappointed. Katie is my stylist and I love her! The salon is immaculate, the staff is well trained and the over all experience is always professional and enjoyable. I have recommended Katie to several friends and they have become her permanent clients. I totally recommend JCon and Katie!
Cameron Smith – Cameron is the best stylest I have ever worked with - He listens to what I am saying and I allways come out with an awesome haircut. I would recommend him to everyone
Cameron @ Jcon – Cameron cut my hair while I was a model in one of his classes. He did a great Job. Highly Recommended
Cameron @ Jcon – Cameron's been cutting my hair for the last 2 years at Jcon. Always does a great job. Highly recommend him!
Love J.Con!! – I love it so much, that I drive all the way from Tampa every time I need a brow waxing or hair cut. I have been seeing Hailey since 2004, and she is without a doubt the first stylist that knows my hair better than I do. I can't even count the number of compliments I receive on my hair color and cut. Kyle is the best esthetician I have ever visited. I am amazed by the work she does with my brows. On top of it all, I feel like I am visiting a friend each time I visit J.Con.
Best hair stylist for curly,wavy hair on men – My stylist is Cam from the st.petersburg salon on 4th street. I have traveled the world with my job and so i have had many different nationalities of people cut my hair. The only ones that can seem to cut it perfect (even when they don"t speak engish) are asian women. They make every effort to make sure that both sides of you head are cut the same and the way they can blend the wavy and curly parts of my hair is just fantastic. Most american women seem to not pay close atttenton to these small details and to me are very important when you are in a business meeting and one sideburn is longer than the other, and believe me people from other countries look at this, on a person they meet for the first time. I would highly recommend Cam to all my colleagues who travel or not. She is just a great hair stylist and has a wonderful personality which makes you feel better when you leave. J.con needs more people like her!

New Food Media vs. Old Food Media (or Julie vs. Julia)
The upcoming movie Julie & Julia is bringing up some interesting discussions in the food world about old-school food journal vs. new-school food journalism. Or in other words, professional food writers who work at newspapers and have had cookbooks published by mainstream publishing houses are discussing the validity of those food writers who are cutting their teeth in the blog world, and then moving on to bigger and better things.
It makes sense that this movie would initiate such a discussion, for it details the life of two women who best represent each school. In one corner, you have Julia Child, whose legacy is nearly larger than life, an icon of the food movement. In the other you have Julie Powell, an ex-food blogger whose web site hit the big time when she parleyed her exploration of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking into a book deal and then subsequently a movie deal. Both women are quite representative of their eras, as well as the technologies of their eras, Julia Child's popularity wouldn't have been so great without television. Ms. Powell's popularity would be non-existent without blog technology, even if she strongly feels the need to disassociate herself with the blogging generation.
The old-school/new-school debate was put forth once again by Virginia Willis, a food writer and photographer who was brought in old school traditions, even as she embraces new school technologies. She had an in-depth exploration of her feelings a week or so back. The entire thing is worth a read, but this is the part that took me in:
I also read the Julie/Julia Project blog and for a time, I followed Julie Powell. I was very intrigued by her nerve actually, of cooking the book. Pretty stiff stuff for an untrained cook. Good for her, I thought. What an undertaking. But one day she made a comment implying a recipe being wrong for roast chicken. I honestly don't remember what it was, but it struck me as being so disrespectful, completely without deference to Julia Child, that I stopped. What the hell did she know about food? Had she even heard of poulet au Bresse?
People who happen to eat and are able to type are now our new food experts. The incredible proliferation and self-indulgent blabber of many food blogs has given people the freedom to hallucinate, "I can type and I eat, therefore I am a food journalist"!
Granted, Julie Powell did not present herself as a food expert. I am not saying she did, quite the contrary. It's also not a case of sour grapes on my part. Bravo for her. Her food memoir was a best-seller. A rising tide floats all boats, and as a food writer, I wholeheartedly thank her.
I am not necessarily saying my writing is better. After all, who am I to question what is published in the New York Times? Of course, I recognize the irony that I am sharing this indeed in an aforementioned self-serving blog. But good grief, people who don't know how to begin to roast a ding dang chicken without following a recipe can be our new, ahem, food experts? This makes me a bit sad and more than a bit aggravated.
There's so much I want to talk about with her perspective, I don't know where to necessarily start.
For the most part, i don't think that many individual food bloggers count themselves as food journalists. Granted my sampling is based off of those sites I happen to consume on a regular basis, but those I read come more from a personal memoir/diary perspective, with a tad bit of research thrown in to provide context. Not all food writers are food journalists, and to equate the two is doing a disservice to those who explicitly do not do food journalism.
But let's talk about expertise for a moment. Can people who simply consume food without knowing its context be considered experts? If not, does this lack of expertise diminish their experience, or make that experience less important?
First and foremost, food is a reflection of any given culture, regardless of the era in which they live. Each culture has its own ignorance of items relating to their culture. Is Pliny the Elder's position on beer to be dismissed because he didn't know of yeast, nor of beer's importance to the tribes of his enemies? Are the cooks of the Renaissance less important to food culture because they didn't know the etymology and evolution of the recipes they were using? Of course not. The same can be said of those who simply mimic recipes and discuss their value on food blogs or other similar mediums. Their input has inherent value. Just because one knows the importance of Poulet au Bresse does not mean that their insight has more cultural value from one who does not.
So if cultural currency isn't the issue, then what is? My guess is something I call "Institutional Relevancy", or how important one person is to the institution they serve, in this case: food media.
Here's an observation I have that most American food writers don't want to hear – the majority of Americans don't care about food, or at least not in the way the experts would like them to. There are many anecdotal statistics I could throw out there to support my position – the popularity of fast food restaurants, the ratio of sales of prepared food versus fresh produce, the number of people who call Kraft Singles "cheese".
"But Kate!", one might exclaim. "What about the popularity of The Food Network?"
Granted, The Food Networks growth over the past ten years or so have been impressive, but let's take a look at the shows they have on. Some of them a pure entertainment, (Ace of Cakes, Iron Chef, The Search for the Next Food Network Star), others are recipe shows that have approach cooking from a very simplistic point of view (Rachael Ray, Sandra Lee, and others), and still others are simply border line food porn (Paula Deen). My point here is that the largest food media institution has succeeded because it either treats food as entertainment, or as a dumbed-down commodity. There are exceptions on the network, to be sure, but these tend to be the exceptions, and not the rule. On the Food Network, Poulet au Bresse is afforded the same respect as any other chicken.
The proliferation of food blogs that take this simplistic approach reflect the current standard of American food knowledge. That is to say, we are how we eat – kind of mindlessly.
But this is changing. I doubt the local food movement would be as successful today without blogs, the same could be said for the organic movement five years ago. And each of these movements have entered our culinary vernacular, and have made us smarter when it comes to food.
I will admit to one trend that I find disturbing – the proliferation of food blogs who do little more than regurgitate press releases and video links. I am not a fan of Slashfood or Eat Me Daily, who seem to believe that recapping Top Chef or providing obituaries about the Taco Bell Chihuahua are relevant to cooking or restaurant going. But this is a personal bias. I'm of the belief that the more we take these sites seriously, the more likely we'll regress in our collective food knowledge.
Let me end on this – I'm a fan of Julia Child, and I believe her place in American food history is deserved. Her French Cooking cookbooks are near required for anyone's cookbook library. But how effective was the method of her message when a mere generation later, someone following her cookbook didn't understand the relevance of poulet au Bresse?
