FHFA: $8 billion in recoveries in 2013

FHFA: $8 billion in recoveries in 2013
Jan. 3, 2014 – The Federal Housing Finance Agency on Thursday
that it has secured nearly $8 billion from settlements in 2013 with financial institutions that sold private-label securities to the government-sponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 2005 and 2007.
The government-sponsored entities remain a topic of discussion for Congress, which hopes to put together a housing finance reform package this year. NAFCU will continue to monitor actions within FHFA and Congress in its work to ensure preservation of credit unions' guaranteed access to the secondary mortgage market and fair pricing based on loan quality, not volume, in any iteration of housing finance reform.
Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., recently confirmed as the next FHFA director, is due to be sworn in to his new post Monday. Confirmed by the Senate on a vote of 57 to 41, Watt will fill the post Ed DeMarco has held in acting capacity since 2009. As FHFA director, Watt will exercise direct control over the regulation, supervision and conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He will also oversee the regulation and supervision of the Federal Home Loan Banks.
Watt has already announced that he will delay the implementation of planned mortgage-fee increases until he can "evaluate" the plan further;
NAFCU strongly supports
the delay.
FHFA announced a 10-basis-points increase in guarantee fees, or g-fees, last month and said it also planned to increase its loan-level price adjustment, which is typically passed onto borrowers, for certain single-family loans with maturities greater than 15 years.
strongly to the planned fee increases. Watt later said he planned to hold off on the fee hikes for further review. His announcement was reported in
The Wall Street Journal
, which also
NAFCU's opposition to the increases.

Scarpetta on Friday Night...just ehhhhh
So I call Scarpetta on Friday morning to see if they have availability for 2 people that evening. They did. At 8:30. Little weird for such a "hot spot" I thought. So we show up and are seated right away. The space is beautiful and I loved the benches around the perimeter of the room. The bread and dippings served before the meal were just delicious. My wife had the polenta to start and I had the braised short ribs. Both incredible. That's where the good impressions left us. Maybe it was just our waiter, but service was not very good or helpful. We had a few questions about the menu and asked for recomendations. He seemed just as perplexed as we were. I ordered a glass of wine that tasted like it was sitting for days. Whatever. Then there was an unuaually long wait between the appetizers and entree. I like a wait between the two courses, but this was so long, I was starting to get tired. Then the entrees show up and I have to say...just not good. At all. I had the Capretta(goat) and my wife had the beef sirloin. The Capretta was dry and gamey and the sirloin was tasteless. On top of that, which I though was weird, both dishes were prepared exactly the same. Same exact sauces, same exact garnishing, just one had goat and one had sirloin. Thought I'd see more creativity.
One observation that I must make is, and this isn't meant to be rude at all...the crowd at Scarpetta. I just thought in the MPD, on a Friday night, there might be a little different feel to it. I guess with all the recent reviews and hype, the Foodie's were out in full force. Haha, you could hear from a few tables over, "do you taste that? mmmm, ohhh, there's a hint of...hint of what is it? Paprika!" Made for good people watching. Then, seriously, it's been a long time since I've shared a room with so many elderly folks. Not that there's anything wrong with that at all. I love having dinner with my Grandfather when he's up from Florida, I really do. The guy's a little sparkplug. However, it just felt unbelievably similar to what one might find during an early bird special in Boca. I was seriously expecting someone to roll in with one of those oxygen tanks. Whatever, the 92 year old guy next to us ended up taking down a huge scotch and a glass of wine in about 3 minutes and was hysterical.
Bottom line: I'd give it another shot. Maybe on a Saturday night.
We have not been to Scarpetta, but we ate at L'Impero while Scott Conant was there and had the capretto. It is a gamey meat, and I had no problem with that. However, like you, I found it much too dry. I've had capretto at one other restaurant (Vetri, in Philadelphia), and it was juicier. So, it would appear the problem with Conant's capretto is that he over-cooks it. Btw, it is one of his signature dishes, the other being the polenta and mushrooms. We had that as well at L'Impero, and it was to die for!
If you can, I would strongly suggest you go on a weeknight. Weekends tend to attract a, shall we say, less sophisticated clientele at "hot" restaurants, and I think the staff reacts to this by not performing up to the level they should. The cooking may be careless too. If you read Anthony Bourdain's book, Kitchen Confidential, he pretty much spells this out. The capretto I had was not dry, but I was not as impressed with it as I had thought I would be. l have had better goat. Definitely go back and try some more dishes. For the most part they are excellent.
re: rrems
"I think the staff reacts to this by not performing up to the level they should. The cooking may be careless too"
That's a crappy excuse...A place that is trying to live up to a standard like Scarpetta's pricepoint suggests, their cooking should be good for whoever - whenever. The garbage places Bourdain cooked in a million years ago, this attitude makes sense. It is unacceptable for Scarpetta.
re: Cpalms
I agree, but it is an unfortunate truth about many restaurants, and a reason why I tend to go to simpler places when I am in the city on a weekend.
re: rrems
I've eaten there twice on Saturday evenings (early, because I am too old to stay up late) and, while I may not be sophisticated, found the food to be terrific, and not a hint of carelessness.
I'd add that I agree with RGR- I never liked the capretto at L'Impero, and haven't wanted to try it at Scarpetta. I'd highly recommend the pasta dishes for a second course.
re: David W
Sorry, David. I did not mean that everyone who dines out on Saturday is unsophisticated. Glad to hear you had a good meal.
re: rrems
No need for that-
I'd also point out that both times I was there on Saturday I saw Scott Conant prowling the room-so I don't think the staff is slacking off.
I'm not sure it really qualified as a "hot spot"-it's gotten a lot of press from the food quarter, but it's hardly a trendy nightspot. And I don't think he's trying to be too creative, but is making some basic dishes really well.
Just got back from a trip to NYC, and Scarpetta was going to be one of our "highlight" dinners. Wow, what a disappointment! Service ranged from ambivalent to rude across the board. First, they didn't have our reservation, but were still able to accommodate us. 15 minutes later, our friend who made the reservation gets a call on her cell phone asking her if she's planning to come to the restaurant for dinner! No apology for their mix-up. The waiter kept "barging" into our conversation, i.e. he wouldn't come to the table and get our attention before speaking, but would blurt out whatever he had to say upon arriving at the table. When taking our orders, he turned and stood with his back facing us for a while as we asked about some of the dishes. When we asked for parmesan cheese for the spaghetti w/tomato/basil (excellent) only 2 of the 3 diners who had it were offered cheese. Some water glasses were filled while others were left empty. It's been a long time since we've had service this bad, and I don't think I've ever experienced from 5 or 6 people at the same restaurant...maybe the occasional bad waiter, but here it was across the board.
As for the food, the pastas were definitely the highlight. The goat was hard and dry, and the sauce was way too salty. Desserts were eh at best.
Such a shame, ate at L'Impero several times and enjoyed the food and service. No plans to return to Scarpetta at this point. Also, we went on a Wednesday night (Scott Conant was there), and were surprised that the place wasn't buzzing and full. For a place that just got 3 stars in the NYT I assumed there would be more buzz. Even when we left, there were empty tables.
On the flip side, had a good meal at Babbo, and a great one at A&D.
re: rcinsf
i must agree.. i heard excellent things about scarpetta. while i thought the food was good, and the cocktails were decent, the staff at the door, bar and the servers were less than mediocre.
My partner and I had dinner there again last night. Service was flawless, very attentive. The noise level was relatively low (most of the clientele was on the older side this time). Outstanding dishes were the polenta with mushrooms and the veal loin with sweetbreads. The pork chop was good but lacking any fat or marbling, so unfortunately not as moist and tender as it could have been. The peach crostata was a very good dessert. My only complaint about the restaurant is that they don't offer half orders of pasta, which I would like to be able to have as a first course.
re: rrems
We ate there last Friday night. Service was truly flawless. Food was refreshingly well prepared and presented. No half orders of pasta? Not a problem because they happily split an order for the two of us.
Wine was perfectly to our specs and served at the right temperature finally.
I'm looking forward to out next visit.
re: il Trifulau
Yes, I realize they will split a pasta order, but my partner wanted something else, so I had no one to split it with.
re: TrishUntrapped
Yes, the menupages menu is not up to date. The menu does have occasional changes, but those 2 dishes are still on the current menu.
re: rrems
This may be a better place to look (except for the price of each dish-I hate it when they leave that off...it's like they know they are charging too much.)
I was a great fan of L'Impero so was eager to try this place. Sorry to say, I haven't been so disappointed in a restaurant in years. Part of it was truth in advertising: a "roasted beet and La Tur" salad should have been called a "Frisee and roasted beet salad" there was probably no more than 1/2 a teaspoon of cheese on the plate. One of my favorites at L'Impero was black pasta frutti di mare which was chock full of tiny sea urchins so when I saw "black pasta with sea urchin" on the menu I thought "even better." But the dish was 90% mussels; I could find only 2 tiny sea urchins on the plate. This might be understandable for a place trying to keep prices down during these hard times. But if I'm paying pre-recession prices I expect pre-recession ingredients. The baby goat was even more of a disaster. It was delivered to the table inedibly salty and cold. Also, the waiters seemed obsessed with clearing the table even when we clearly hadn't finished our dishes I wish I could recommend this place but the only recommendation I can make is "stay away."

text: Toro Rosso boss plays down Ricciardo versus Vergne rivalry 10 May, 2012 Daniel Ricciardo versus Jean-Eric Vergne May 10 (GMM) It is too early to name a Toro Rosso frontrunner for a seat at Red Bull's premier team claims Franz Tost, the team principal of the energy drink company's junior team. Following the ousting of Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi, the Faenza based outfit has two new Red Bull youngsters to groom in 2012. Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne are therefore at the front of the queue to potentially replace Mark Webber at the senior team, even though Red Bull chiefs have appeared to indicate that Australian Webber is staying put for now. So when asked by Austria's Laola1 whether Ricciardo or Vergne is winning the race to the Red Bull seat so far, Tost insisted: "We have no thoughts about that. The important thing is that they continue to develop in every area." So far, Frenchman Vergne has four points compared with Ricciardo's two. "Jean-Eric is willing to take more risks," Tost said, "while Daniel has a grasp of the car overall with his extra experience."

And while it may be getting chilly, the really cold weather hasn't started quite yet, which means it's the right time to prepare your home and family for the frigid months ahead.
The Debtress's Must-Do Pre-Winter Checklist
Before worrying about the little things (like whether your convertible mitten-gloves match your scarf), it's important to take care of the big ones. Now is the time to check your home's insulation, caulk cracks in outside walls, seal your windows and weather-strip your doors.
A visit to a hardware store or online search should help you determine what your house may need. And, while this will require you to invest some money upfront, you'll almost certainly save more than that cost in heating bills.
Now for the less-familiar suggestions:
- Switch to flannel: Flannel sheets make bedtime in winter a much less traumatic experience, because they don't feel cold when you first lie down. They're durable, too.
- Have a nightcap: In the olden days, people wore hats to bed to keep warm. If you're afraid of looking silly while you sleep, you could wear a hooded top or just long sleeves and pants.
- Brew some tea: Tea comes in a variety of tasty flavors, from the ho-hum to the extraordinary. And, since both caffeine-loaded and caffeine-free types are available, a pot of tea is a great way to heat up at any time of day. (Hint: trick your kids into loving tea by hosting "tea parties" and serving "crumpets." I usually use animal crackers.)
- Eat warm: Don't just drink your heat – eat it, too. Winter is a great time for oatmeal, soup, stew, crock pot recipes – anything with the word "simmer" in the recipe, really. After baking with the oven, prop it open while it cools, to let its heat disperse into the house.
- Put on a sweater. Yes, you hated this advice when you got it as a kid. But dressing in layers is one easy way to save on heating costs.
- Keep blankets handy. Draping a fleece throw on sofa-backs and easy chairs adds a touch of coziness and keeps loungers toasty.
- Get some slippers. You can keep your feet pleasantly warm without tracking winter slush and mud inside – just get a warm pair of slippers to keep by the door.
- Work the fireplace. If your home has a fireplace, use it to cut down on gas or electricity costs. But make sure you close the flue afterward and have heat-trapping components in the chimney (some sources suggest a "lamanced damper").
- Get moving. If you have kids, turn on tunes and start a dance party. If you don't, shake it to your favorite hits. It may feel silly at first, but when that warm blood starts pumping, you won't regret it.
Any other tips for beating the chilly weather that won't make me file bankruptcy? Let me know!

The voices of the future proudly chanted an anthem about why Vernon School is "the best," to open the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District BOE meeting on March 3. The evening began with a musical presentation by the chorus, followed by several young flautists. These children provided firsthand examples of the benefits a school music program can have on their lives, and these are the very programs that are threatened during the current economic crisis.
Representatives from other programs that may experience cut-backs or elimination due to budget cuts also stepped up and talked about the significance of these classes. Pat Murray, teacher of the third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade science classes discussed the advantages of having this program at Vernon. The students are taught skills such as observation, data recording and using digital cameras and microscopes, topics that cannot be covered quite as extensively in a regular classroom.
Joanne Loring, head of the Gifted and Talented Enrichment program, also explained to the public what benefits that program has for the students. Besides the popular "Atlantis" program in which 27 elementary students participate, there are 15 other enrichment classes available that foster challenges among the academically strong. Academic Intervention Services and Literacy Coach, Tracy Zambelli, also described the details of their programs and how they are crucial in providing the necessary assistance to students who need it.
A PowerPoint presentation by each elementary grade level and the special education department also informed the audience what goes on inside each classroom, with a focus on the use of technology.
Special Education teacher Kevin McCarthy remarked about the interesting format of the meeting and the enthusiasm of his colleagues, "It's these types of meetings that make me feel very proud to be part of this district. This district far exceeds any other. I'm proud of my colleagues and my students. We've come a long way in a short amount of time." President James Robinson agreed, "[For years we've been] putting tools and strategies together to measure results. You see the results every day."
The revised budget as of the March 3 meeting would keep the number of OBHS teaching positions the same (no reductions), and would restore the teacher for Atlantis at Vernon and the science-technology position at Roosevelt. Athletic supervision and special education are still areas subject to reduction. To meet the concerns of those who spoke out against it in prior workshop meetings, the proposed revenue generation will also be reduced, meaning parents will not incur a charge by attending music or athletic events. Superintendent Dr. Phyllis Harrington proposed a $100,000 reduction in special education in hopes that Obama's Stimulus Plan will impact the district, which would better fund special education.
Current estimated revenue in state aid is $2,125,164; estimated other, $721,850; proposed revenue generation, $43,170; appropriated fund balance, $500,000 and appropriated ERS reserve, $100,000 adding up to $3,490,184. Certain one-time projects will have to be budgeted for, including the High School science wing roof replacement (no more than $170,000), administrative parking lot replacement (no more than $130,000), and the Roosevelt parking lot and fencework (no more than $525,000). The total Capital Reserve Projects amount to no more than $825,000.
More options that the district is exploring are restoring 1.0 Full Time Equivalent at Roosevelt, partially restoring co-curricular at the high school and Vernon, and restoring bowling, golf and the tournaments. If these programs are reinstated in the new budget, the increase would be 3.74 percent with a levy to levy of 4.03 percent. Mr. Robinson commented, "There are still some in our community who want the increase to be zero. We truly believe next year is going to be a lot worse than this year. As we develop the budget, we've gone under this premise. The impact... has been minimal to how it affects the child in the classroom. That's not going to happen anymore. Those are not solutions we are going to come up with as Oyster Bay alone. We truly have to maximize what we can. You have to develop what's going to work for the entire community."

November 28, 2014
MOSCOW (AP) - A leading Chechen rebel has called on Islamist militants in Russia's North Caucasus to disrupt the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
Sochi is hosting the games, President Vladimir Putin's pet project, in February.
Doku Umarov, a widely known Chechen rebel leader, urged his fighters in a video published on a rebel website to "do their utmost to derail" the games, which he described as "satanic dances on the bones of our ancestors."
Umarov last year told fighters to avoid hitting civilian targets because Russians in Moscow were taking to the streets en masse to protest against Putin.
Analysts have said the Islamic insurgency raging across the North Caucasus mountains that tower over Sochi is a threat to the Games.

My old camera cell phone was laggy and blurry, and it had developed an odd distortion, which created some oddly affecting photographs at times but became difficult to work around.
A typical distorted shot from my old camera:
I bought a new camera this week, and I'm re-learning all about aperture, ISO, shutter speed, the rule of thirds, etc. The camera tagged along with me to the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens and Aquarium yesterday. Here are a few of my favorite shot from the trip:
Bee on a flower. (The photographer in me was pretty happy with the outcome; the writer is disappointed because I failed to note the name and type of flower. I've made a mental note to bring a notepad on future photo shoots.)
Prickly pear:
I prefer the next picture I took of the horse, and I have many more lovely shots of flowers and butterflies. Perhaps a future post.

Having added a Club World Cup winner's medal to his burgeoning collection of prizes, Patrice Evra is already looking ahead to more silverware.
In just two and a half seasons at Old Trafford, the French defender had already won two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Carling Cup and two Community Shields before United's triumph in Japan.
"We need to try and maintain our ambition because I always say it's easy to win a trophy, but keeping hold of it is the difficult part," Evra told ManUtd.com and PA Sport. "We now have four trophies now and we are all hungry to keep hold of them.
"In three years at the club I have won two league titles, the League Cup, the Champions League, the Community Shield and now the Club World Cup - it's unbelievable. I know I need to keep working hard because the people expect a lot from me - I don't want them to say it has been an accident!
"My target is to win three titles in a row. To win it again would be the best feeling. The fans and everyone at the club expect us to do well and we have the potential to win another title this season. The most important factor is the spirit and of course we must keep working hard."
The French defender admits that he is struggling to comprehend the Reds' status as world champions, but feels the honour is richly deserved for how he and his colleagues coped with the rigours of travelling to Japan.
"It's fantastic to be number one in the world, but at the moment it doesn't feel like it - maybe over the next few days it will sink in and you realise what you've achieved," he said.
"We did our job very well against Quito and now we are champions of the world. I must say congratulations to my team-mates because they all fought very well to deal with the challenge of the time difference. It wasn't easy, but at Manchester United we want to win everything and in 2008 we have won

November 29, 2014
Posted: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 --- 6:47 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Early election voting is underway at city clerks' offices across Wisconsin.
Voters who can't make it to the polls for the primary election next month are able to cast ballots. It's the first election since the Legislature put limits on the process. In-person absentee voting can only be conducted during the two business weeks prior to an election. Voting is to take place from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
City clerks, including Brookfield's Kelly Michaels, don't anticipate long wait times to cast a ballot for the primary. But, that could be a different story in November when voters will elect Wisconsin's governor.
Opponents of the changes say it's an attempt to disenfranchise certain voters. One Wisconsin Now activist Scot Ross tells WUWM News (http://bit.ly/1tmBMQI0 ) the move affects mainly younger people and those living in cities.

Reviews for exfoliate foaming body cleanser (new)
By Suki
Average rating: 2 out of 5 hearts
By Roho on July 9, 2014
The problem with sugar
It dissolves too quickly so that you only really get a few seconds of scrubbing action. The scrub is too dry to use without water. I didn't feel my skin was much smoother after, perhaps because the granules dissolved so fast. Perhaps would be good for someone with sensitive skin who just wants a quick gently scrub. I will try a Body Deli scrub next since they are made with sea salt that shouldn't dissolve as quickly.
One good thing is that it is not oil based so it rinses clean and doesn't leave a residue in your bathtub.
The Suki Difference: round-edged sugar crystals (sanding sugar), created for the thick, drier dead skin cells of the body, melt into pure AHA for healthy cell renewal without tearing skin.

Local leaders, legislators discuss budget
This week, state legislators will work through Wyoming's supplemental budget bill, deciding, among other things, how much money to provide for local governments.
The budget bill, crafted by the Joint Appropriations Committee, recommends several critical departures from the draft budget Gov. Matt Mead proposed last month. Notably, the JAC's budget fails to endorse the governor's call to create a permanent stream of funding for local governments.
February 15, 2011 8:33 am
This week will give local governments a better picture of what their funding looks like in the supplemental budget.
As in previous years, the Legislature will provide a snapshot of funding for the immediate future — but what Wyoming's cities and towns need is a forecast of what to expect down the road.

After a string of delays over several months, the new Homesteader rest area at Powell's east entrance is slated to open next week.
Part of a $2 million renovation project encompassing 10 acres of Homesteader Park, the glass-enclosed rest area is nearing substantial completion, said City Administrator Zane Logan on Monday. The project is funded largely through federal stimulus money, as well as funds from the city and state.

Turning over a new leaf
Walking into the freshly remodeled Powell Branch Library Monday morning, Sandy McGee's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Wow, it looks so much bigger!"
The library was closed for the past month as crews renovated the building, installing new carpet and repainting the interior. As patrons discovered Monday morning, however, the library's new look is much more than carpet and paint.
February 08, 2011 8:25 am
Traditionally, readers are encouraged to look beyond first appearances — to not judge a book by its cover. This week, however, will be all about first appearances for local readers as they see their newly remodeled Powell Branch Library.
The library was closed to the public for the month of January and the first days of February as it underwent extensive remodeling. On Monday morning, the library reopened its doors, showing off an updated layout, new carpet, fresh paint and added features. The library is now compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, making it accessible for all residents.

Powell prides itself on being a safe community — the kind where kids can ride their bikes freely around town and neighbors look out for one another.
Contrary to a popular local belief, however, Powell is not a place where it's OK to leave your front door unlocked or the keys in your vehicle.

Gluten-free oats grown in local fields, processed in a Powell facility and marketed by a hometown business are destined for Europe, Australia and across the United States. Gluten Free Oats, a local business with a global market, will expand its Powell operations with a new facility to process and clean oats, thanks to an additional $267,795 grant approved Thursday.

Pool slated to re-open this weekend; lap pool still open
The recreation pool at the Powell Aquatic Center has been closed to swimmers this week, following a failure with the pool's recirculation pump.
Pool staff noticed problems before the pump went out and were scheduling for a technician when it failed last week, said Gary Butts, city public services manager.
January 18, 2011 8:22 am
In the past decade, more than a billion dollars was spent on school facilities in Wyoming. With a new high school, new Southside Elementary, a new Westside Elementary under construction and plans underway for middle school renovations, Powell has seen millions spent on demolition and construction in recent years.
Similar school projects are going on across the state, and Gov. Matt Mead wants to ensure Wyoming contractors receive a fair chance at those jobs.
January 11, 2011 8:23 am
As legislators gather in Cheyenne this week, they will be inundated with dozens of bills — eventually hundreds of them — up for consideration during the 2011 General Session 61st Wyoming Legislature.
Once again, Wyoming finds itself in a much better position than other states with its enviable budget surplus — more than $1 billion to allocate or invest.

Apparent suicide raises concern from residentsOctober 04,2013Apparent suicide
raises concern
MANCHESTER Police responded Thursday morning to an apparent suicide at the Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park.
Police went to the park around 6:10 a.m. to investigate the death. The name of the person has not been released.
Town officials said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this death and police believe there is no danger to the public or visitors to the park because of the incident.
Town Manager John OKeefe said it was unusual for the towns police department to make a public announcement for a suicide but some residents who had heard about the investigation or had seen the police presence were concerned about public safety.MORE IN This Just InA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov.

Babies and children are not just small adults--their health care needs are different. So, it is important to find a health care professional that can provide specialized care. As a baby grows and develops, a health care provider is essential for routine care as well as when illnesses or injuries occur. A pediatrician, family practice doctor, physician's assistant, or pediatric nurse practitioner can be your baby's primary care provider. The medical specialty dealing with children is called pediatrics.
These providers may care for children from the time they are newborns until 21 years of age.
They provide:
Well child care
Preventive health including immunizations and screening
Guidance for caregivers
Care for illnesses and injuries
Referrals to specialists as needed
Choosing a provider for your child is an important part of preparing for a new baby. There are many things to consider including their training and experience, as well as the office location, hours, and routines.
Finding a provider is not hard, but you need to begin as soon as possible. You can ask the health care professional who delivered your baby for names, and talk with other parents about their provider. It is often a good idea to meet with 2 or 3 prospective providers before your baby is born. Many health care providers offer a special time for parents to come and visit the office, learn about the providers and staff, and ask questions. There may or may not be a charge for this visit.
Listed below are some things to consider when choosing a health care provider:
Is the office near your home or place of work?
How long does it take to get there during rush hour?
Is parking convenient?
Does the practice have more than one office?
Are the same providers at the same offices all the time?
What are the office hours?
Are there weekend and/or evening hours?
How do you make an appointment?
How long does it take to get a well-child appointment?
How long does it take to get a sick-child appointment?
What about payments and billing? Is this provider listed on your insurance plan? What hospital is the provider affiliated with? Is this compatible with your insurance plan?
How long do you have to wait in the office before you are seen?
Is there a separate waiting area for sick children?
Do the office staff seem friendly and interested in children?
Ask about the provider's training and experience. Does he/she have a specialty or area of interest? Is he or she board-certified, and if so, has he or she re-certified recently?
Ask about the provider's opinion on immunization, and use of medications, particularly antibiotics and over-the-counter medications. Does he or she prescribe medications over the phone?
Will your child see the same provider for all visits?
What happens if your child gets sick during the night or on weekends? Who do you call?
As you talk with the provider and the office staff, you will develop a sense of whether they have the same philosophy of child raising as you do. You can also talk with other parents to find out their experiences and recommendations.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers a referral service for help in finding a qualified health care provider or specialist.

Louisiana's oil-damaged economy could be getting a boost. A box office hit with a cult following is going to be filmed in southern Louisiana.
Summit Entertainment announced they'd be filming parts of the Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn in Baton Rouge. Breaking Dawn is the fourth installment of the series. The third and most recent film, Eclipse is currently in theatres. Eclipse generated more than $300-million at the box office world-wide.
Locally, Twilight's move to Baton Rouge has Louisiana residents talking... Twitter, Facebook, fans are talking about it... but the move could aid the local economy in a time of need.
"It being filmed in the area, it brings out those people who just want to see if they recognize any of the scenes," Dempsey Thibodeaux says.
Thibodeaux is the General Manager of a Lafayette movie theatre. He says Breaking Dawn is a guaranteed hit, but the longevity may be better because of new-found fans coming to see the local area in a box office movie.
"It's a good thing." Thibodeaux says, "for the theatre business and it's a good thing for our area."
"The Twilight franchise is breaking a number of box office records," says Marcus Brown of the Lafayette Entertainment Initiative."To that caliber, this is certainly up at the top."
Brown says Breaking Dawn could bring a cult-like following to southern Louisiana- boosting tourism and the local economy... and the trend is growing.
"I think we'll continue to see the kinds of production activities we've been able to attract thus far," Brown says.
The state offers a tax initiative for production companies- and it's catching the attention of major productions like Twilight. The growing industry is making the greater Lafayette region a hub for the film industry- giving the region a new nickname, the "Hollywood of the South."

Philipp Lenssen over at Google Blogoscoped spotted a new Videos From The Googleplex area where Google is sharing its own in-house video content with the world. Oddly, a post on the Google Blog today mentions some of the individual videos there but not the overall area itself.
What will you find? Authors who've spoken at Google are now posted, such as the presentation that John Battelle gave that we mentioned before or a recent one from Yahoo alum Seth Godin. Last year's Google Factory Tour is also posted, along with other clips you'll find on this related page.
I like the Google Recruiting Video. It's not new, but it is very inspiring, so much so that I have a feeling many companies will soon create their own recruiting videos and have them hosted at Google Video.
Jen Fitzpatrick, Engineering Director at Google is the narrator of this video, she conducts interviews with different 'Googlers' (Google employees) asking specific questions about the benefits at working at Google. Here is the abstract from the Google Recruiting Video.
I've represented Google at many events for women in engineering, and I'm always asked the same thing: "What's it like to work there?" I certainly don't mind discussing the subject, but I often think it would be great if more people could see it for themselves. Well, now you can. We invite you to take a sneak peek inside Google and hear straight from some of our female engineers what life here is really like.
Of course, our goal of recruiting as many gifted female engineers as we can also means encouraging young women who are still in school. So I'd like to issue a hearty congrats to the winners of this year's Anita Borg scholarships.
What won't you find in the collection of video from Google? Apparently not the Google commercial played to Kansas City Royals fans that Danny found Google had put up itself earlier this year. It's now gone.
Larry Page's CES keynote is at Google Video here, but that's not been associated with the Videos From The Googleplex page.

The finger pointing continues in Brazil. Brazilian defense
minister Waldir Pires says the US pilots involved in last week's
crash of a Gol Airlines 737 are irresponsible. The airliner went
down in the amazon jungle killing all 154 aboard.
Dismissing suggestions of errors by Brazilian air traffic
controllers, Pires says pilots Lepore and Paladino should not have
been flying their northwest-bound Embraer Legacy 600 at 37,000
feet. International air traffic rules reserve odd numbered
altitudes for traffic flying east.
Brazilian authorities maintain the Embraer collided with the 737
causing the crash.
Lepore and Paladino say they were following their flight plan
when the two aircraft collided.
In response, Pires said, "It was a frivolous statement ... It
was irresponsible. The flight plan says that the (planes) should
fly on even-number levels."
Lepore's and Paladino's statement is disputed by Brazilian
police who say they obtained a copy of the flight plan from
Edimara Fagundes, spokeswoman for the Mato Grosso Civil Police
told the Associated Press the Legacy was to fly at 37,000 ft until
a course change to the northwest. At that point, she claims, the
pilots should have descended to 36,000 ft.
Lepore and Paladino say they lost contact with controllers and
stuck to their last-assigned altitude.
Earlier this week, Brazilian authorities suggested that Lepore
and Paladino might have turned off their altitude reporting
equipment, a claim the two have repeatedly denied.
Those same authorities admit they have no proof to back the

So yesterday was a really good day/night. Last night we went to J's boss's Christmas Party and it was really fun. All his coworkers crack me up and the food was awesome. Plus they had Midori which made my tongue very happy :) We played the white elephant gift exchange and since J and I bought nice gifts for it, we wanted nice gifts in return! We didn't get our first choice but we did end up with a hickory farms gift set and a board game. Not too shabby compared to what some other people got. (Can we say bald guyz shaving cream and a razor made to look like a car?)
But I do have to say, my flat feet are punishing me for wearing those heels yesterday. Darn my flat feet!
Plus what topped everything off was that J and I got our marriage license in the mail. It's really official now and it feels sooooo good. Now I'm wanting to change my name everywhere! As soon as I go to the social security office anyway. That's going to be awesome.
What about you? How did you feel when you got your marriage license in the mail?
