Life Won't Wait
A year long project that took the band from San Francisco to Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans and Jamaica, Life Won't Wait has highlights that are as varied as they are rewarding. "Bloodclot" is a punk anthem as brawny as any ever recorded, replete with Lars' lyrical nods to Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Ramones. "Warsaw" and "New Dress" explore world-scale class struggle and out-and-out warfare. Of the two songs actually recorded in Jamaica, "Hoover Street" is a poignant addict's lament with sweet soulful vocal assists from Hepcat, while the title track features Tim and Lars sparring with dancehall kingpin Buju Banton against a canvas of urgent old school ska. Self-produced, culled from life experience, and played live in large measure, Life Won't Wait is as ambitious and independent as it gets.

Ian Clark's High School Lacrosse: Next year, will BG, Astros have company at the top?
Derryfield's Cat Green celebrates after beating John Stark Regional for the Division III girls' lacrosse title at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester on Thursday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
In arguably the best rivalry in the state, the battle for the boys' Division I crown was once again contested between powers Bishop Guertin of Nashua and Pinkerton Academy of Derry. For the fifth straight season, it was BG coming away with the title.
In the boys' ranks, the Bishop Guertin-Pinkerton rivalry might be the best going in the NHIAA, but Astros head coach Brian O'Reilly said something is missing in order to make it a true rivalry and that's some wins from Pinkerton.
Will Bishop Guertin and Pinkerton have some company at the top of the DI heap next year? Bedford will bring its 61 consecutive wins to Division I. The Bulldogs have already shown they can compete, beating Exeter, Hanover and even Pinkerton in the regular season.

Sign in to digital edition
Monday 22 Dec 2014
By Edek Osser and Ermanno Rivetti. Web onlyPublished online: 04 January 2012
The ever present threat of earthquakes to Italy's cultural heritage is the target of an initiative by Arcus, the commercial arm of the ministry of culture, set up by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The €4m project will study the seismic stability of 46 Italian museums, and is scheduled to run until 2014.
The research is expected to examine how to successfully monitor and intervene at structurally weak buildings in earthquake-prone areas, as well as providing the basis for plans to carry out pre-emptive structural renovations. The museums on Arcus's list are located throughout the country, and include the Villa d'Este, Rome and the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples. Liliana Marra, an architect who works for the Polo Museale Napoli (the foundation that oversees the Museo Capodimonte as well as other leading institutions in the Naples area), says that seismic events such as the earthquake in L'Aquila, Abruzzo, have emphasised the need for such an initiative. "We [Capodimonte] are lucky not to have been affected [but] we can never predict what may happen in the future, which is why pre-emptive work is so necessary," she says. The director of Arcus, Ettore Pietrabissa, says that the key is prevention, a strategy that was previously overlooked but is now acknowledged as essential. If successful, the scheme may be extended to cover all 306 state museums, at a total cost of around €15m.

Friday markets in London
Get the best of London's markets without the weekend crowds on a Friday
CommentsAdd +
Friday is the best day to visit Portobello market – it's far quieter than Saturday, and is the perfect opportunity to snap up the best vintage and indie fashion buys and thrift purchases before the crowds descend at the weekend. There are also food and clothing markets across the capital – a great way to kick off the weekend's shopping early.
Alfie's Antique Market
Good for: antiques
Alfie's is packed to the rafters with handsome twentieth-century home decor, hosting more than 100 dealers in vintage furniture and fashion, art, accessories, books, maps and more. Dodo Posters do 1920s and '30s ads. Be warned, the wares down at Alfie's are all fabulous but not cheap, though some gentle bartering; some of the hundred antique dealers will be keen to strike a deal.
- 13-25 Church Street, NW8 8DT
Bermondsey Square Antiques Market
Good for: antiques
Following the redevelopment of Bermondsey Square the ancient antiques market – traditionally good for china and silver as well as furniture and glassware – continues in an expanded space that now accommodates 200 stalls that now include food, fashion and craft stalls. Browsing here is like going through Fagin's gang's loot.
- Corner of Bermondsey Street & Long Lane, SE1
Berwick Street Market
Good for: fruit and veg, lunch
This small, buzzy street market, in a sometimes sleazy area, is one of London's oldest. On weekdays it hosts a good selection of street food stands.
- Berwick Street, Rupert Street, W1
Borough Market
Good for: food
London's oldest market – dating back to the thirteenth century – is also the busiest, and the most popular for gourmet goodies. Traders satisfy the city's insatiable appetite for artisan cheeses and ham from acorn-fed pigs. If food is your thing, then Borough, with its abundance of beautifully displayed organic fruit and veg, cakes, bread, olive oil, fish, meat and booze, is the place to go.
- Southwark St, SE1 1TL
Brixton Market
Good for: food
Compared to the culinary homogeneity of Borough market et al, Brixton is a sensory fiesta. The air is thick with the sizzle of jerk chicken stalls, tinny reggae riddims and yam-based price disputes while the multi-coloured hues of exotic fish displays glimmer like a whiffy rainbow.
- Electric Avenue, Pope's Road, Brixton Station Road, SW9 8JX
Covent Garden Market
Good for: gifts, crafts, food
Although something of a London institution, Covent Garden Market is too commercial and generally too crowded to provide a particularly characterful retail experience. However, the colonnaded 19th-century building is impressive, and occasionally some of the performers and entertainers can even be worth watching.
- Between King Street & Henrietta Street, WC2E 8RF
Deptford Market
Good for: household goods
Most of Deptford Market is your standard south/east London fare: three-pack pants, timber wolf fleeces, Duracells and lighters. Halfway down its length, though, is a distended gut of impacted crap, presided over by two tennis umpires up stepladders who take money, dispense change and guard against pilfering.
- Douglas Way, Deptford High Street, SE8 3PQ
Greenwich Market
Good for: antiques
There are plenty of stalls selling bric-a-brac, second-hand clothes, ethnic ornaments, CDs, crafts and jewellery galore at Greenwich Market. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the market takes a different turn with an excellent antiques and collectibles.
- Off College Approach, SE10 9HZ
Lower Marsh Market
Good for: fruit and veg
A street market since Victorian times, there's some quality veg, women's clothes, decent jewellery and vintage shops.
- Lower Marsh, Westminster Bridge Rd to Baylis Rd, SE1 7AB
Northcote Road Market
Good for: fruit and veg
Decent fruit and veg, flowers, ceramics, vintage clothes, plus the Antiques Market (No 155A; 020 7228 6850) and some excellent independent shops.
- Northcote Road, SW11 6QB
Petticoat Lane Market
Good for: household goods
If the promenade of trendies at the nearby Spitalfields Market gets a little overbearing, head a few streets south to the famously salt-of-the-earth Petticoat Lane Market. Note, however, that the stalls are actually located in and around Middlesex Street – the Victorians deeming the road's original name a touch too saucy.
- Middlesex St, Glousten St, Toynbee St, Wentworth St, Bell Lane, Cobb St, , Leyden St, Strype St, E1 7EX
Portobello Road Market
Good for: antiques, clothing
Portobello is actually several markets rolled into one, all penned in by Notting Hill Gate tube at one end and Ladbroke Grove tube at the other. Friday is less hectic and one of the best days for sourcing clothes from fresh fashion designers. If you want to escape the crowds, check out the fantastic shops lining the surrounding streets or head up to Westbourne Park Road.
- Portobello Road, W11 1LU
Ridley Road Market
Good for: food
Everything from domestic and exotic fruit and veg, fish and meat to cheap clothes, household goods, toys, bric-a-brac and fabrics from Africa and India.
- Ridley Road (off Kingsland High Street), E8 2NP
Shepherd's Bush Market
Good for: food, clothing
While Shepherd's Bush Market is just a hop and a skip away from Europe's largest urban shopping centre at Westfield, it's a world apart in every other sense. At this gritty, multicultural market you'll find a fantastic range of ethnic foodstuffs (Indian, Caribbean, African and Polish).
- East side of railway viaduct, between Uxbridge Road & Goldhawk Road, W12 7JA
Smithfield Market
Good for: meat
Smithfield Market (also known as London Central Market) provides a colourful link to an age when the quality of British beef was a symbol of national virility and good humour. Designed by Horace Jones, Smithfield opened for business in 1868 and early risers will still find meat and poultry (though no livestock) traders setting up their stalls at first light inside the metal structure with its ornate arched ceiling and bizarre colour scheme (white, purple, blue and green).
- Charterhouse St, EC1A 9PQ
Spitalfields Market
- 1 Crispin Place , E1 6DW
Stables Market
Good for: clothing, gifts, crafts
A multimillion-pound redevelopment project is currently in the midst of transforming what was the highlight of Camden's sprawling markets, Stables Market. The once boho Stables may soon become something a little more sterile, but for now you can still find vintage threads alongside crafts, antiques and the sprawling, re-housed Proud gallery and bar.
- Chalk Farm Rd, (opposite junction with Hartland Rd), NW1 8AH
Strutton Ground
Never judge a market by its size. Strutton Ground may well be petite, and dwarfed by the surrounding office blocks, but it has a lot to offer.
- Strutton Ground, SW1P 2HY
Surrey Street
Situated behind Croydon High Street and a row of nightclubs, kebab shops and the lights of Grant's Entertainment Centre is a small patch of Croydon that's fascinatingly timeless.
- Surrey Street, Croydon, CR0 1RJ
Walthamstow Market
Good for: food
The longest market in Europe, with loads of fruit and veg stalls, a good selection of Asian and Caribbean products, fabric, flowers and more.
- Walthamstow High Street, E17
Whitechapel Market
Good for: food, household goods
Stretching between Vallance Road and Cambridge Heath Road, lively Whitechapel Market has every type of speciality Asian ingredient and spice you'll ever need.
- Whitechapel Rd (Vallance Rd to Cambridge Heath Rd), E1 1DT
Whitecross Street Food Market
Good for: lunch
The workaholics of Clerkenwell and Hoxton descend upon this energetic food market every Thursday and Friday for a slap-up lunch on the go. Follow your nose, or gravitate towards the vans with snaking queues, always indicators of quality grub.
- Whitecross St, EC1Y

Just picked one of these up in blue.
Fit is right on, (medium), and with the first time buyer coupon, shipping is free. 930 grams on my cheap scale. Has a clip chinstrap for easy on and off, and wore it with sunglasses for 4 hours last week with no issues.
It has 13, not 15 vents, but there are 2 more vents the top that are not cut out of the shell, so as soon as I get around to it, i'll cut those out.

The camera angles are great, I never felt out of place. The boss fights were fun and challenging! The story is of course tied to the movie, but not completely. I won't spoil anything.
For those that hold a games reputation to the graphics department, let's just say you won't be disappointed.
The animations are fluid, sound is superb.
I know what you're thinking.. Aren't most movie games supposed to suck?!
Well not this one, I for one like it and I believe a lot of people will appreciate the simpleness of the game.

Like most beat 'em up/brawler games, it can get repetitive. You can only fight the same rock monster in the jungle levels so many times before it gets tedious, for instance. But there enough bells and whistle (from upgrading your character to some epic, God of War style boss fights, and even some fun, non-Marvel pop culture reference based Easter Eggs that give you achie that actually give you achievements) that's really only a minor quibble.
This is a rare licensed game that isn't hamstrung by being tied to a big budget movie release. Definitely a must rent if you can get your hands on it.

1. repeatedly mashing one button melee attacks = boring
2. boss fights that seem near impossible
3. lots of jumping that unless perfectlly timed has you pulling your hair
wolverine i think has balanced these very well. I never got tired of leaping from enemy to enemy slashing my way to bosses ( who were challenging but your fight strategy quickly becomes clear)
and every failed jump didnt necessarily cause you to start all over again
the games graphics are good and i think the story line was better than the actual movie
i was pleasantly suprised with this game and highly recommend

This is a perfect action game for those people who aren't die hard gamers. You can pretty well button mash your way thru the game, at least on the default difficulty. But the game rewards the skilled player with flashy combos and action movie style combat. By mashing, you will still finish the game, but by playing well, you really get the feeling of what Wolverine is capable of.
This game is good all over, with only small complaints to be had. Near walls or in confined areas the camera can be an issue, leaving you unable to see yourself and attacking enemies. Certain platform puzzles suffer from twitchy control response.
Level ups are mostly pointless since you'll end up leveling pretty much everything. Could do with just giving you new attacks rather than selecting power ups. On the upside the checkpoints are frequent and well placed to keep even tricky sections from having to be repeated over and over if you die.
The downside is little replay value. It's fun enough you will probably play it more than once, but the story and pathfinding will be identical. Combat is so good though that on a second play through you'll wish for shorter cutscenes to get to the action.
The cutscenes, voice acting, and game adapted story are well above the standard for movie tie in games.
The violence is incredibly over the top, with blood and gore everywhere, which most people expect from combat with a guy that has two foot metal claws.
One of the best rentals in the action genre to come along for awhile. From the casual gamer to the die hard, whether you see the movie or ever read a comic book or not, this game is absolutely worth playing for anyone with a console.

Graphics- 10 out of 10. Beautiful, fluid movements, cut scenes rock!
Gameplay-Storyline is very well stuck to the movie (not giving out spoiler of the film), rent the game/see the movie too! It's amazing.
Controls- 10 out of 10. I couldn't express enough, without hype, the controls are tight & awesome!
Overall, I have nothing bad, this game is the best X-Men game I've played in years. I hope for those who read this, go rent & buy this game!
Replay value- 10 out of 10. This has 1 of the highest replays of the many games I've played, & I'll definitely be playing this game again after I beat it! It's my new favorite X-Men game.
Happy Gaming Gamers!
A fun rental, but that's all it is.

Over-the-top gore aside, there is a fun game hidden in there. You have a suprising amount of powers and abilities available to you as you progress in the game. For achievement hunters, you can pull 1000 out of it in about 4 days of game play. There's a very good guide on Gamespot that will show you where all the hidden powerups and collectables are.
On the downside of the game, it does have a recurring bug in it. Namely that thrown enemies have a chance of winding up outside the game boundries, but in a spot where they won't actually die. I've had that cause me to backstep to a checkpoint because I was in an area that I had to kill everything to move on, and couldn't. To be fair these bad throws happened about once every three hours or so on average, but it's something to keep in mind.
To sum up, I would highly recomend renting this game if you're an action or comics fan, but I couldn't reccomend shelling out the big bucks to purchase it. If you really want to own it, you're better off waiting for it to hit the 15-and-under bargain bins.

Great graphics
Good story line that doesn't follow the movie exact, so it actually makes you want to watch the cut scenes
VERY violent. I was actually shocked at how violent this game is.
You've got several moves and combos, and attacking multiple enemies makes for a bloody good time.
There are some puzzles, although most are easy, it breaks up the tedium of this game being a button masher.
COSTUMES! You can get secret costumes like the original brown costume, yellow costume, or weapon X. Even better you have to fight a Wolverine clone to win them, and I have to say those were some of my favorite fights
The bad:
After you get to a higher experience level and rank up, most enemies become almost too easy to kill. Dying after only one or two hits.
The amount of different enemies are lacking. Now I'm not saying it's as bad as some games where you have one enemy with a knife, one with a gun, but as good as they did the enemies on this game I would have loved to see more styles.
Bosses. Eventually they all have one way of getting killed. And, after a while it gets tedious pulling off the same move 20 times.
THE CAMERA! Probably the worst part of the game. It will move at will. Which for most of the game isn't a problem. But some parts where you are in close combat with many units, it's hard to tell where you're at and what direction you need to be attacking. Even worse, the last boss battle I died 5 times alone because the camera angle would change MID JUMP and of course I didn't have time to correct my jump direction and I fell to my death.
So, the bad is not a deal breaker by anymeans. I would even suggest buying it, except I myself am not into playing a game after I beat it usually. And, for being loosely based off a movie, it's probably one of the best movie based games ever.

This game did an even better job getting his power scheme right. You really got to feel like you were Wolverine. It's clearly a hack/slash game, but Wolverine is a very hack/slash character a good chunk of the time.
And I don't play video games too much. I tend to but a couple a year, and play it a few times. Which is why I came back to Gamefly. The game is addicting so far and it's easy enough to be fun while challenging enough to keep me coming back when I fail.
It's rated M for a reason. It's very bloody and gory.
This is not the movie, the movie was very bad this game is very good.
If you want a Wolverine game done right, this is the way to go.

The pros of this game really do shine though, presentation be damned. The combat feels REALLY nice, it's fast, it's fluid, & great googly-moogly, it's brutal. Be prepared to beat people to death with their own arms. The controls are responsive, & all in all, Wolverine simply handles how he should...in combat.
Speaking of outside of combat, this brings us to the cons. The platforming sections in this game seem far too simple & easy until you realize that the clunky control during platforming makes it painful. It's not as if the platforming is an abomination, or anything, but the controls are clunky & the layouts are unimaginative. The game's presentation is REALLY weak though, & it tends to hurt the game. The graphics are sub-par, the animations are dull, & the gamne feels rushed.
But, despite it's flaws, this game is highly enjoyable, presenting a chance to pop the claws & get pretty messy. I highly recommend a rental.

I've played a bunch of movie adapted games such as Incredible Hulk, Superman Returns, Iron Man. And none of them really fleshed out the character as much as this game did.
Sure it can get repetitive and boring with the same moves but this was a visceral game. The imagery was so in your face and with 5.1 surround sound I thought I was there with him.
Only bad side of the game was after unlocking the hard difficulty, we had to start from scratch to re-acquire all the skills and experience.
The costumes were a nice touch. Wish they had the original x-men movie costume.
Thumbs up on a fun game!!!

First off the controls are simple. Not a lot of button bashing is required (except when the system prompts you to press X to complete a finisher).
Second, the video game tries to adapt to the comic book story. I was very disappointed with the movie however the game somewhat salvaged the two wasted hours I spent in the theater.
There were some frustrating parts in the game, especially some long jumps that took several attempts to complete and the end boss battle (Weapon 11) where the floor keeps collapsing plunging you to death.
Overall, a very good game!! I recommend you RENT and not buy it. It is rather short and with no online capabilities is really not worth the $59.99 plus taxes price.

I am so sorry for your pain. When you talk about the April pain, I can relate. My bad time of the year is around Xmas. I wish I could say something to help. I have to FORCE myself to fight off suicidal thoughts at that time of year. I make myself play games or just do things to NOT think of the worst things! If your mind is obsessive like mine, it is extremely hard to follow my own advice.
My heart and soul go out to you and Leo. I'm so sorry to hear about Leo's latest heart attack. He is so young. Again I wish I could help. Have you gotten in touch with lots and lots of other doctors around the country? Are there cutting edge treatments somewhere else that might help? Could the two of you possibly live in a place that has medical people right there to keep a closer eye on Leo. A place where you can live your "regular" life but have immediate help if needed?
I will say prayers for both of you. My arms are around you keeping you both as safe as possible! If I CAN do anything, please don't hesitate to ask!
With warm heart and hands,

Related: Press Releases | Hearings | Markups
Congressman Al Green serves as ranking member of the subcommittee.
The subcommittee conducts oversight of the agencies, departments, and programs under the Committee's jurisdiction. The subcommittee also conducts investigations on any matter within the jurisdiction of the Committee, and evaluates the need for any legislative changes to the laws and programs within this jurisdiction.
The complete jourisdiction of the subcommittee includes:
(i) the oversight of all agencies, departments, programs, and matters within the jurisdiction of the Committee, including the development of recommendations with regard to the necessity or desirability of enacting, changing, or repealing any legislation within the jurisdiction of the Committee, and for conducting investigations within such jurisdiction; and
(ii) research and analysis regarding matters within the jurisdiction of the Committee, including the impact or probable impact of tax policies affecting matters within the jurisdiction of the Committee.
When Congress enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, (P.L. 110-343), which authorized the establishment of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) within the Treasury Department, and created the Office of Financial Stability within Treasury to implement TARP. The Treasury Department posts regular TARP reports and updates at www.FinancialStability.gov.
The Act also established a regulatory framework for overseeing the implementation of the program. EESA created the Congressional Oversight Panel (COP) and the Special Inspector General for TARP (SIGTARP). It also established new audit and oversight duties for the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The multiple layers of oversight included in EESA were designed to ensure effective oversight, accountability, and transparency. COP, SIGTARP and GAO have produced thousands of pages of oversight reports, audits and investigations to insure taxpayers are fully protected.
Since the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act was signed into law on October 3, 2008, both the Full Committee and the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations have held a number of hearings about TARP oversight, accountability and transparency. The goal of these hearings have been to look at key issues exposed by the financial crisis and the next steps to continue improving financial stability in an economic recovery.
After its first hearing when the Subcommittee learned of staffing and other challenges the SIGTARP faced, Subcommittee Chairman Moore, Ranking Member Judy Biggert, Reps. Steve Driehaus and Erik Paulsen introduced H.R. 1341, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program Act. Subsequently, the Senate version of the bill was quickly enacted by Congress and signed into law (P.L. 111-15). The legislation has strengthened the SIGTARP's hiring authority and other enforcement powers to provide vigorous oversight of the $700 billion TARP program
The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation's has focused several of its TARP Oversight hearings on warrant repurchases. When TARP recipient repays its original Capital Purchase Program (CPP) investment, they have the right to repurchase its warrants at an agreed up on fair market value. This is done through direct negotiations with Treasury, which has established a multiple step process to value the warrants before they agree to sell them. If an institution decides not to repurchase its warrants, Treasury has indicated a preference to sell the warrants to a third party through a public auction.
The Subcommittee's hearings have focused on maximizing the return on investment for taxpayers through this warrant repurchasing process. As a result, this program has generated over $7 billion of extra returns for taxpayers with billions more expected, and that's in addition to nearly $200 billion of repayments of the initial TARP investment. The Subcommittee will continue to focus on how well the warrant repurchase program continues to be administered and ensuring taxpayers fully share in the upside of the economic recovery as a result of TARP.
A new addition to the Rules of the House sponsored by Rep. John Tanner (H. Res. 40) requires House committees to hold at least one hearing every four months "on the topic of waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement in Government programs…." The Full Committee, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, and other Financial Services subcommittees have far exceeded this requirement by holding over 50 oversight hearings in the 111th Congress.
These hearings have resulted in legislation to provide better oversight and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse with respect to financial agency programs. In response to one of these hearings, Subcommittee Chairman Moore, Ranking Member Biggert, Reps. Steve Driehaus and Christopher Lee introduced H.R. 3330, a bill to provide Inspectors General the flexibility they need to better manage their resources and provide ongoing oversight of failing banks, as well as other financial agency programs, such as foreclosure mitigation and anti-terrorist financing efforts. The House approved the bill on July 29, 2009. A modified version of H.R. 3330 was included in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions originally offered by Subcommittee Chairman Moore and Rep. Stephen Lynch as a financial reform amendment which creates a new Council of Inspectors General on Financial Oversight, connecting existing financial agency Inspectors General and requiring financial agencies to respond to their oversight recommendations. The Moore-Lynch amendment also requires a mandatory Inspector General review be performed on future large financial firms that fail, as well as new GAO reporting requirements, which will better inform the Congress and financial agencies as the new regulatory system is implemented.
The Treasury Department established Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in 1990 to provide a government-wide multisource financial intelligence and analysis network. FinCEN's operation was later expanded to include the responsibilities for administering the Bank Secrecy Act. The Subcommittee has held hearings examining FinCEN's efforts with respect to Suspicious Activity Reports, Bank Secrecy Act compliance and anti-money laundering, as well as efforts by the Treasury Department to stop terrorist financing while ensuring due process for law-abiding charities. The Subcommittee reviewed oversight reports issued by GAO and the Treasury's Inspector General on these issues, and will continue monitoring developments to ensure every appropriate action is taken to stop money laundering and terrorist financing activities.
The Subcommittee has held several field hearings and hearings in D.C. that have focused on how small businesses, women and minorities have been adversely impacted by the financial crisis and the recovery. The Subcommittee traveled to Southfield, Michigan, near Detroit to hear from the local business community and learn about its challenges accessing credit, the pressure banks and credit unions are under from bank examiners to make fewer loans, and the challenges facing bank regulators as bank failures rise. The Subcommittee also traveled to Chicago and heard from local industry representatives, experts and regulators on the status of the commercial real estate market, and its impact on economic recovery. On June 17, 2010, the House approved H.R. 5297, the Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010 sponsored by Chairman Barney Frank, which will establish a $30 billion fund to boost lending to small businesses looking to hire and expand their operations by providing additional capital to community banks. The ill was improved through the legislative process by the lessons learned from these field hearings.
In addition, the Oversight Subcommittee held a joint hearing with the Housing Subcommittee to examine how minorities and women were adversely impacted by the financial crisis. The joint subcommittee hearing bolstered the need to establish Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion at every federal financial agency that will, among other things, focus on employment and contracting diversity matters. These important, new offices were included in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, Pool)
LONDON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has kicked off his first official overseas trip by meeting with British leaders in London on the first leg of a hectic nine-day dash through Europe and the Middle East.
Kerry's maiden diplomatic meeting abroad was on Monday with British Prime Minister David Cameron for talks expected to focus on the crisis in Syria and Iran's nuclear program. Later, he will see Foreign Secretary William Hague before flying to Germany for meetings in Berlin.
Kerry arrived on London late Sunday as the Obama administration launched a frantic effort to try to salvage a Syrian opposition conference that Kerry plans to attend this week in Rome. Some members of the sharply divided Syrian Opposition Council are threatening to boycott the meeting.

The waiting list for city public housing vouchers is set to reopen, which means that for the first time in four years, low-income residents can have the opportunity to get rent subsidies.
Noah Schwartz, the executive director of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority (CRHA), says that the Section 8 Rental Voucher Waiting List will reopen "in the near future." Schwartz says the department is unable to release a specific date at this time.
The last time the waiting list was open was 2004. The sheer number of people who applied forced the housing authority to close the list until all of them were helped. Schwartz says it is normal for the list not to be open for long.
"We get calls from all over the country asking if our waiting list is open," says Schwartz. "Charlottesville is a nice place to live."
Section 8 is a federally funded program that enables the local public housing authority to pay landlords the difference between 30 percent of household income and the authority-determined payment standard, which is 80 to 100 percent of the fair market rent. Local landlords participating in the program include Woodard Properties, Ray Cadell with Century 21, and Mallside Forest Apartments.
If a person has no income at all, then CRHA would pay for 100 percent of the rent. The likelihood of that happening is slim, says Schwartz. For example, if a landlord charges $800 a month for a two-bedroom apartment and the tenant's annual income is around $14,400—an average for very low-income recipients in the city—public housing pays $560 and the tenant the remaining $240.
"This is not an anti-poverty program," says Schwartz. "It is a rent-subsidy program."
The purpose of the Section 8 program is to give low income families an opportunity to get back on their feet with money to help pay rent. City Housing Manager Rebecca Weybright says Section 8 is intended only as a stepping stone. "The program helps folks to become self-sufficient," she says. "I know of a woman who, after getting a job, called us to be taken off the list. She was independent."
In the city, about 300 families have applied to be on the list, but both Schwartz and Weybright are expecting that number to considerably increase once the list is opened up again. "I'd say around 1,500 people will be on the waiting list," says Schwartz.
When people apply, upon contact with CRHA they are subject to an income check, a background check and a criminal check. "Having a criminal background does not disqualify an applicant," says Weybright. "But the barrier crime is arrest for dealing any illegal substance."
A majority of recipients of Section 8 vouchers are African Americans and single mothers who work and, on average, end up paying 60 to 70 percent of their income on rent. Homeless people, senior citizens and people who have been involuntarily displaced by a natural disaster have all received rent money.
Weybright and Schwartz both acknowledge the lack of Latinos applying for the subsidies. "For one thing, we have so many forms that they need to fill out," says Weybright. "And we ask them for so many things, like their birth certificates, their social security numbers, and for some, it's overwhelming."
Many low-income families prefer Section 8 for the freedom to choose where they want to live, as opposed to public housing. There are 376 public housing units in various neighborhoods around the city. They are all at full capacity.

Interview: Photographer Scott Simper
April 06, 2010
By STEPHEN REGENOLD
Scott Simper grew up on a horse ranch in rural Utah. He competed in rodeo events as a teenager. "I'm still a cowboy at heart," said Simper, 41, a split-resident of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Christchurch, New Zealand. This spring, Simper serves as head photographer and videographer for Expedition Hanesbrands. You may not see him in the coverage that comes out of the mountain climb. But as the man behind the lens — and, if all goes as planned, Jamie Clarke's partner to the top of Mount Everest — Simper has a job that's among the most demanding of anyone involved with the expedition.
An Emmy-nominated photographer, Simper travels the globe shooting for outfits as diverse as National Geographic and Red Bull. He has trudged through mosquito-infested swamps in Siberia. He's scaled Yosemite big-wall rock climbs, 3,000 vertical feet of ascending in a day. Photo shoots have sent him on multi-week powered-parachute flights in the United States and on rappels deep into caves in Sweden.
His niche? "Suffering," Simper said. "If you need someone to put up and shut up, I can do it." Mount Everest will be one test for sure. Suffering is par for the course living at high altitudes and climbing 8,000-meter peaks. Other recent suffer-fests Simper has endured include shooting for television shows like "Deadliest Catch," where he hung with fishing crews in big Alaskan ocean waters, and "Ice Road Truckers," a show that highlights long and dangerous remote trucking routes. One of the trucks he was filming in last year crashed, exasperating a shoulder injury he suffered five years ago when he was crushed by an ice sheet kayaking in the Arctic.
Simper hopes to stay injury free on Everest. He has been training this winter in his backyard, which is the Wasatch Mountain Range of Utah. He climbs peaks in the backcountry and skis from the summits. "I have been trying for 10,000 vertical foot days to prepare for this trip [to Everest]," he said. Years of mountain sports, including skiing, climbing, running, and adventure racing, have tempered his body for the Everest climb, he said. That and the four to five times a week he gets outside to "live the outdoors lifestyle" with his wife, an athlete and mountain guide.
Beyond physical conditioning, preparing for Everest has been a feat of organizing gear and building systems to shoot video and photography on the harsh flank of Mount Everest. Simper brought a half-dozen cameras to Nepal, from a point-and-shoot Leica to full HD-video units. For summit day on Everest, he plans to strap head-mounted cameras on himself and lead climber Jamie Clarke. Cables, batteries, lenses, cases, media, and other photographic items will drape his body the entire ascent. Frozen batteries will come into his sleeping bag at night. On the climb, he'll wear thin gloves under expedition mitts to undress his hands and deal with tiny buttons. Somewhere near the top of the world, hopefully Simper will turn the camera around and take a shot of himself. He deserves it, no doubt.
—Stephen Regenold will blog live from the Everest Trail this week and through the month of April. Monitor Expedition Hanesbrands' progress at ClimbWithUs.com and on Gear Junkie at the site's Everest Blog, http://gearjunkie.com/everest-blog.
As someone who "trudged through mosquito-infested swamps in Siberia" alongside Scott, I can testify to his amazing work ethic, his inspirational attitude toward life, and his ability to get the shot. If he suffers, he does so in silence. The typical Scott Simper response in a difficult situation is to ask how he can shoulder more of the load so you have to shoulder less. Our Siberia show is on Nat Geo's Naked Science on Thursday night. Too bad there's no cable on Everest so Scott can check out a little of his own excellent work.Can't wait to see what he comes up with on this trip!
Scotty boy –
I'm very impressed. You actually made something of yourself unlike the rest of us Audio geeks. I have always thought you were extremely talented but this is amazing. Great work buddy! I'm proud to say that I know a man of this caliber.

Drug Withdrawal
(Abstinence Syndrome)
Drug withdrawal is a reaction the body can have if a person suddenly stops using illegal drugs, prescription medications, or alcohol. This can occur if the person has been using drugs, medications, or alcohol regularly. Depending on the type and amount of the substance you were using, withdrawal can be a life-threatening condition.
Drug withdrawal can be caused by medications, alcohol, or illegal drugs.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chances of drug withdrawal include:
Anxiety is a symptom of drug withdrawal from substances like cocaine and alcohol.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Withdrawal symptoms are different based on what you used. Symptoms may include:
- Marijuana—loss of appetite, chills, weight loss, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, irritability, feeling restless or nervous
- Alcohol—shaking, hallucinations, seizures, confusion, anxiety, sweating, nausea
- Barbiturates—weakness, tremors, hallucinations, lack of appetite, seizures
- Opioids—abdominal pain or cramps, muscle aches, panic, tremors, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, fever, chills, irritability, goose pimples, runny nose, drug craving, inability to sleep, yawning
- Benzodiazepines—abdominal pain or cramps, fast heartbeat, vomiting, tremors, seizures, anxiety
- Cocaine—anxiety, feeling tired, depression
- Amphetamines—depression, irritability, sleeping too much, muscle aches, abdominal pain
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done through blood and urine tests.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include one or more of the following:
This is the first step in treating substance abuse. You will be closely checked for signs of withdrawal. You may be given medications to reduce cravings. Medications will also help to reduce withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe. Treatment is targeted to the specific symptoms and drugs used.
You may need to enroll in a rehabilitation program. This treatment uses behavioral therapy to prevent you from using drugs in the future. Behavioral therapy may include the following:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches you how to recognize and avoid situations that may lead to drug abuse.
- Family therapy helps you and your family look at patterns of drug abuse. Strategies are suggested to avoid future abuse.
- Motivational therapy uses positive reinforcement to prevent drug use.
Residential Treatment (Therapeutic Communities)
Residential treatment is sometimes needed. The typical stay is 6-12 months. These facilities will help you learn how to live a drug-free life.
Support Groups
Support groups offer continued support for a drug- or alcohol-free life. Some support groups are Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, and Alcoholics Anonymous.
To help reduce your chances of developing drug withdrawal, take the following steps:
- Attend regular support group meetings.
- Avoid people and situations where drugs are available.
- Inform all healthcare providers of your history with drugs.

I think that Asian sides are overpriced away from the subcontinent (in Tests anyway, especially because the draw is always too short) but I'm not so sure that they are at home. I have no figures to back this up, but I suspect that if you'd backed England to level stakes on their last 2 tours to each of SL, Ind & Pak, then you'd come out ahead even though they only won 4 Tests out of 18. It could be that it's the underdog that is overpriced, regardless of whether or not the underdog is Asian (apart from when the West Indies are on tour, in which case no matter how bad you think they are, they always turn out to be worse).
In my opinion, entrenched viewpoints (e.g. Asian sides are hopeless outside Asia while non-Asian sides are hopeless inside it) still influence the market, even though the amount of cricket played nowadays means that players get used to different conditions earlier in their careers. I also said it would be a two edged sword and that it would happen with the Aussies losing their dominance this year, and with India , Lanka and
Pak nicely placed in 3rd , 4th and 5th in test ranging , it would be them and not the no2 side, England that would take over the mantle.
I cited that England were there as a result of a fixture cycle quirk and once they played all the
Asian sides and
Aussies again they would struggle. Well, since then, they have won one series in 5 and I think after this summer against
Windies and India, they will lose their no2 spot and leave the way clear for the
Asian sides to
Aussies over the
next year........"

You Can Forget About The Cuban Imports
If you missed the news Thursday night, it was announced that the Cubs had signed Cuban free agent Gerardo Concepcion. Concepcion is one of a trio of Cuban imports that a whole slew of teams, including the White Sox, are expected to bid for this month before spring training begins. The other two are Yoenis Cespedes and Jorge Soler.
This wasn't just bad news for Sox fans hoping the team would sign Concepcion, though. It was bad news for any Sox fan holding out hope that the Sox would sign any of these prospects.
Did you see the deal the Cubs gave Concepcion?
It's a multi-year deal worth $7 million, which, in contrast to other players, isn't exactly a lot of money. Even if we aren't sure how many years the deal is.
Still, Concepcion wasn't expected to get that much by most "experts". Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus tweeted as much on Thursday night.
Making matters worse, Concepcion will probably be the cheapest of the bunch, so who knows what this is going to do for the market of Soler or Cespedes.
Soler's contract could approach $20 million, with Cespedes' going even higher.
If you heard Kenny Williams talk about it at SoxFest last weekend, he made it somewhat clear that the White Sox don't really have any money left to throw around. If that's the case -- and given Kenny's tendency to be SUPER STEALTHY SECRET AGENT WILLIAMS, it might not be -- then there's no way in hell that the White Sox are going to get either Soler or Cespedes.
Which means you'd be best served to give up any delusions that the Sox are going to make any move to improve fan morale before getting to Arizona.
Just accept the fact that the team before you now will be the one you see in April.

Hi! My name is Lindsay Guenther and I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. I graduated from the University of North Texas (UNT) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies (fields in Communication Studies, Counseling, and Psychology) and a minor in Spanish. I also received a Master's of Education in Counseling from UNT with an emphasis in College Counseling.
During my time at UNT, I worked for three years as a Resident Assistant in Housing and nearly seven years as an Academic Counselor in the College of Arts & Sciences. I love working with college students!
I also love music, especially classic rock. Some of my favorite bands are: U2, Journey, Boston, Phil Collins, Styx, Kansas, and The Who. I love swing dancing and hanging out with friends. Speaking of which, my husband Jonathan and I met at a swing dance in Texas. Jonathan is from Nashville and has a church music degree from Belmont! He has always told me about his fantastic college experience. When we decided to move to Nashville to be closer to family, I knew I wanted to work at Belmont!
I look forward to learning about you and telling you more about the amazing opportunities Belmont has to offer!
