Senate votes to keep small banks under fed reserves oversight…disgusting really

Posted on May 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Federal Reserve would continue to oversee smaller banks around the country under a measure adopted Wednesday in the Senate, marking a major victory for the Fed as lawmakers prepare to overhaul the nation's financial regulations. This Story * More restrictions on bank investments are debated * Fed holds on to small banks in Senate bill Under the bill originally introduced by Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), the central bank would have been stripped of the ability to regulate all but the handful of banks that hold assets above $50 billion. The Fed's leaders had vehemently opposed that proposal, saying it would undermine the central bank's effectiveness. Lawmakers agreed on Wednesday, passing 91 to 8 an amendment to keep the Fed as the primary supervisor of the thousands of smaller banks across the country. “This amendment ensures that the nation's monetary policy is connected to Main Street and not just to Wall Street,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). The vote followed a vigorous campaign by Fed leaders — especially the heads of regional Fed banks, who would have lost most of their regulatory authority. They argued that their oversight of smaller banks provides them a better window into the internal functioning of the economy, noting that those banks have contributed to big economic problems in the past, such as in the 1930s and during the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s. Proponents of shifting that oversight away from the Fed noted that the central bank regulators had made significant mistakes over the past decade, failing to rein in bad lending practices that contributed to the recent crisis. On Wednesday, banking industry representatives quickly praised the vote. “Preserving Fed supervision over smaller institutions means preserving its access to timely information about the flow of credit to small businesses and in communities of all sizes across the country,” Edward L. Yingling, president of the American Bankers Association, said in a statement. “Community banks are vital to the economic health of the nation and issues that impact these banks and their communities should be a major factor in the Fed's decision making process.” See more at the link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/12/AR2010051202873…. added by: NotHippie

Lil Wayne Could Serve More Time Because Of MP3 Player In His Cell

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘You lose some ‘good time,’ ‘ our source at Rikers Island says of contraband found in Wayne’s cell. By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Sway Calloway and Rahman Dukes Lil Wayne Photo: Derrick G A source at Rikers Island confirmed reports that Lil Wayne was busted Monday for having headphones, a charger and a watch that doubles as an MP3 player in his jail cell. The offense isn’t extremely serious, but it could mean more prison time for Wayne. “You just get an infraction, a violation,” the source told MTV News. “You lose some ‘good time.’ “It depends on the severity of the infraction,” the source added about what other type of trouble Weezy could get into. “Level one is the worst. Then you have [level] two or three. [This infraction] could be a level one. He has to go on trial, and based on evidence, they’ll make their determination.” Our source also confirmed that Wayne has a job as a suicide-prevention aid, which entails staying up at night to keep an eye on at-risk inmates. “He checks each cell or area to see if each guy is alive. There are three shifts,” our source said. “I think his shift is at night, like 11 [p.m.] to 7 [a.m.] or 12 to 8.” That job is now in jeopardy due to the infraction. In 2007, Lil Wayne was arrested for attempted gun possession following his first headlining performance in Manhattan at the Beacon Theatre. New York is among the toughest states in the country when it comes to gun-possession laws. In other states, Lil Wayne could have gotten off with a misdemeanor rap and probation. However, in New York, only law-enforcement officials and those affiliated with authorities are permitted to carry firearms. The rapper was sentenced to a year in prison in March.

Daughtry Shows Michael Lynche What His Post-‘Idol’ Future Could Be

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Season-five alum Chris Daughtry and his band perform ‘September’ on elimination night. By Eric Ditzian Chris Daughtry performs on “American Idol” Wednesday Photo: FOX On the same night that “American Idol” kicked off Michael Lynche , another fourth-place “Idol” finisher, Chris Daughtry , returned to the stage to show Big Mike that he can still have a bright future as a recording artist. The season-five contestant and his band were welcomed back to “Idol” on Wednesday night and performed “September,” a single off their platinum-selling second album, Leave This Town. Looking not much different than he did upon his “Idol” audition years ago, a bald-headed and bearded Daughtry belted out the slow-burning tune as Lynche and his fellow contestants awaited their fate. Any one of them would be thankful to have even half the success that Daughtry has enjoyed. His self-titled debut hit the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 in 2006 and ended up going platinum four times. Last year, the band’s follow-up disc debuted at #1 and was certified platinum in February 2010. They’re also in the midst of a wide-ranging North American tour that has them playing in huge arenas throughout the country. “It doesn’t get old,” Daughtry later said of playing for large crowds. “It’s an amazing feeling every night, and we’re fortunate that we have fans that want to come out and see us. We don’t take that for granted.” Daughtry also had a piece of advice for this season’s remaining finalists. “Stay hungry and actually don’t compromise the music that you love,” he said. “Stick with what’s true to you.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Kirsten Dunst Added To ‘On The Road’ Cast

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Spider-Man’ actress joins Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund and Sam Reilly in the adaptation. By Josh Wigler Kirsten Dunst Photo: Evan Agostini/ Getty Images Kristen Stewart is getting some female companionship while heading out “On the Road.” Variety reports that “Spider-Man” actress Kirsten Dunst will play an unspecified role in director Walter Salles and producer Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel. Dunst joins a growing cast that already includes Stewart, Garrett Hedlund (“Tron: Legacy”) and Sam Reilly (“Control”). “On the Road” tells the story of Salvatore “Sal” Paradise (Reilly), a curious man who embarks on a road trip across the country. He meets an eclectic assortment of characters along the way, including the self-assured-but-trouble-attracting Dean Moriarty (Hedlund) and his wife Marylou (Stewart). Dunst’s involvement in “On the Road” comes just one week after the announcement of Stewart’s own participation. “I am super excited about it,” she told USA Today of her casting. The road to bring “On the Road” to the big screen has been a lengthy one, as Coppola and Salles first secured the rights to the film more than three decades ago. The movie entered production in 2005 but stalled due to a lack of financing. In his attempts to adapt “On the Road,” Salles traveled the same cross-country route as the book’s author and even filmed a documentary, “In Search of On the Road.” “The film greatly benefited from the extra time we had to conceptualize it,” Salles told Variety of his lengthy journey in adapting the novel. “The unedited scroll version was published recently and inspired a new version of the screenplay written by Jose Rivera that is at the same time more luminous, daring and muscular than the one we had at the start.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
