Getting the finger

By Brian J. McFillen · Wednesday, May 28,2008 6:38 p.m.

Just over a week ago, the Senate Banking Committee approved a bill that seeks to prevent foreclosures among at-risk homeowners and provide greater government oversight of the mortgage and real-estate industries. Sounds dull, right?

By Jocelyn Noveck · Wednesday, May 28,2008 6:33 p.m.

Clinton and Kennedy

By Thomas Wachtel · Wednesday, May 28,2008 6:31 p.m.

Last week, Hillary Clinton did exactly the opposite of what she needed to do in order to have a shot at the Democratic nomination. She needed opponent Barack Obama to slip up, to say something offensive or stupid, to somehow sabotage his own campaign at the last second. Instead, Clinton was the one shooting herself in the foot.

On May 21, the History Center debuted its two newest exhibits in honor of the 100th anniversary of the county courthouse, “100 Years Under the Fish” and “Life in 1908.” “100 Years Under the Fish” refers to the fish that tops the weather vane on the roof of the courthouse, and presents a timeline of the events since the courthouse’s construction, including the “Let’s Save It” campaign led by former County Commissioner Charlotte Zietlow in 1981.

The student-loan question

Wednesday, May 28,2008 6:27 p.m.

Until recently, things were looking bad for students trying to find money for college. These days, credit is notoriously hard to come by, and the market for student loans is no exception. Many companies were thinking of getting out of the market.

By Derrick Carnes · Wednesday, May 28,2008 5:27 p.m.

Nicholas Cage reprises his role as Benjamin Gates, though the results aren't as pleasing.

Overpriced treasure

By Rachel Pankiw · Wednesday, May 28,2008 5:21 p.m.

If you didn’t fork over your money to see it in theaters, I certainly wouldn’t do it now to purchase the DVD. Even if you give leeway for the unrealistic plot, it still seems like “Book of Secrets” just doesn’t measure up to its predecessor.

Musical explorers Cryptacize push the boundaries of the term “radio friendly.”

By Doug Evans · Wednesday, May 28,2008 5:11 p.m.

Listen to any track on Cryptacize’s new album "Dig That Treasure" and it is apparent that the group is more interested in musical exploration than writing catchy hooks and melodies. This exploration has its positives and negatives.

2*Sweet gets sour with their new self-released album

No sweet, all sour

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, May 28,2008 5:07 p.m.

2*Sweet and Sleep have one major thing going for them: it doesn’t quite sound like anything else that is saturating the scene. The band combines some moderately heavy metal-influenced guitar riffs with opera-tinged vocals and melodies. And although it is all fairly unique in comparison to other bands, it doesn’t necessarily make them good.

3 Doors Down’s Greg Upchurch means business during live performances.
