WASHINGTON (AP) - Former House Speaker Tom Foley has died at the age of 84 in his home. Foley's wife, Heather, said the Washington state Democrat died at his home in the nation's capital. Foley became the first speaker since the Civil War to fail to win re-election in his home district. The courtly politician lost his seat in the "Republican Revolution" of 1994. The Democrat had never served a single day in the minority. He was defeated by Republican Spokane lawyer George Nethercutt. Foley served as U.S. ambassador to Japan for four years during the Clinton administration. But he spent the most time in the House, serving 30 years including more than five as speaker.
Today, America has lost a legend of the United States Congress. For thirty years, Tom Foley represented the people of Washington's 5th district with skill, dedication, and a deep commitment to improving the lives of those he was elected to serve. Tom's straightforward approach helped him find common ground with members of both parties, eventually leading to his election as the 57th Speaker of the House. After his career in Congress, Tom served as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, where his poise and civility helped strengthen our relationship with one of our closest allies. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Tom's wife, Heather, and the entire Foley family
Spokane Mayor David Condon issued the following statement remembering Speaker Tom Foley:
"Spokane lost a great leader and champion for this community today with the passing of Speaker Foley. Representing the heart of Spokane in Washington D.C. for 30 years, he advocated for the Spokane that he believed we could be and, in many ways, the Spokane that we are today.
Just one of the many efforts he led was that of the University District, now a vibrant downtown anchor that boasts entrepreneurial centers and top-tier universities. I am grateful for his commitment, service and leadership over those 30 years and the lasting impression he has left on our community."
McMorris Rodgers Remembers Tom Foley
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05), Chair of the House Republican Conference, released the following statement honoring former House Speaker Tom Foley (D-WA), who passed away today.
"Today, our hearts are heavy. Tom Foley was an honorable leader and colleague. He proudly served Eastern Washington with distinction for 30 years and will be remembered as one of our state's giants. Eastern Washington agriculture and wheat farmers still benefit today from his leadership as Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and House Speaker. Foley was highly regarded and respected by Democrats and Republicans and he remains a model for leaders today.
"I will miss our visits before the State of the Union or other gatherings where he would reminisce or discuss challenges of the day. Today, let us all come together – here in Spokane and all across America – to send our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Tom Foley during this time of mourning."

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSWhat We Are Learning About MCHM Testing
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 17, 2014 10:25 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 17, 2014 11:07 PM EST
Charleston, W.Va. – (By Stefano DiPietrantonio) We have an update now for you, as the water crisis captures the attention of scientists all over the world, what some scientists are saying about the chemical MCHM.
We spoke with a Senior Chemist in Washington, D.C. and a Professor from Marshall University's Chemistry Department. Here's what they're saying about the testing of the chemical that leaked into our water supply.
Both scientists pointed to the Eastman study, which was done. As you'll recall, Eastman is the manufacturer of MCHM. And they point to some of the mistakes, they said, are being made in the testing of our water. Instead of testing for everything that comes with crude MCHM, the tests we're told may have only detected the one element.
Jennifer Sass, who is a Senior Scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, D.C. told us, there are 6 different components to MCHM. And, that you can think of the other 5 elements mixed in, as boosters. It's kind of the way our laundry boosters work in detergents. They're put in there, she said, to enhance the main ingredient's performance. She said MCHM is accounts for about 80-percent of the mixture.
The scientists we spoke with said the water company and the CDC were not testing for those boosters and that could be cause for concern.
"They're there on purpose to make the main chemical more effective," said Dr. Jennifer Sass, who is a Senior Scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council "And that could make it more toxic, it might make it last longer."
"If it's a kit, then it's probably generic for organic chemicals that they're looking for, even if they are looking at all five at once," said Michael Castellani with the Marshall University Chemistry Department. "If it's a specific test for that chemical, then it's not going to work for the other four."
Castellani told us, it all depends on the methodology. But either way, we're all getting an education on what it means, when we're talking about parts per million. Doing the math, Castellani said, one part per million, is equal to one drop out of 13 gallons of liquid. But until we learn more about MCHM, even knowing one drop is present, is not enough for some folks to feel safe about drinking or using their tap water.

Operations have returned to normal at the Tuckahoe Family YMCA, located in the 9000 block of Patterson Avenue, after a fire broke out inside of a kitchen area.
The flames erupted around 11:15 p.m. and were quickly put out with the use of a fire extinguisher, according to Henrico County Fire Crews. The only people on scene at the time were maintenance workers, who escaped without any injuries. Minimal damage was caused.
The fire is believed to have been accidental, and may have been caused by plastic material on top of the stove, according to Henrico Fire Crews.
The Tuckahoe Family YMCA did open at its normal 5:00 a.m. time Monday morning.

Mobility scooter trainer's concern over rise in accidents
Updated 4:46pm Wednesday 27th February 2013 in News
A MOBILITY scooter trainer has backed calls for tests to determine who should be allowed to use them, following the death of one of his customers in a road accident.
Dan Hillerby, managing director of One Care Mobility, in Northallerton, said politicians should press for legislation to ensure scooter users are both physically fit enough and sufficiently able to control the machines.
Mr Hillerby, who has worked with mobility scooter clients across County Durham, Teesside and North Yorkshire for 11 years, said he agreed with North Yorkshire coroner Michael Oakley that the Government should regulate the industry.
The inquest of Mr Hillerby's customer Ron Archbold, 85, of Bedale, this week, heard how the pensioner had serious sight problems when his scooter "bolted out" in front of a car in the town.
Mr Hillerby said: "I do raise concerns with our customers' families and refuse to sell scooters to people when we don't feel they are capable.
"The number of accidents is increasing. We are getting one repair a week, whether it is a minor accident, crashing off kerbs, being hit by a car, driving into things or other damage."
He said when he conducts scooter training sessions at nursing homes he is often frustrated by low uptakes and it had become clear some users' knowledge of the separate code for driving on pavements was lacking.
He said: "We are finding people are not aware of some of the most basic rules, such as the 4mph speed limit on pavements."
Following the inquest, coroner Michael Oakley said he would write to the Government calling for regulations over who could ride the scooters.
Mr Hillerby said he had become increasingly concerned anybody could sell scooters and that many unsuitable vehicles were being sold over the internet, where his firm insists on conducting suitability tests with its customers.
He also suggested scooter users should be given 12-month licences, which could be renewed following a medical check-up by GPs.
A Department of Transport spokesman said it would limit a forthcoming mobility scooter trial scheme to testing users' eyes and had no plans to regulate sales of the vehicles.

Also if these people have to have a test so should eddle cyclists also as they are a danger to us pedestrians who are going blind.
It cuts both ways.

But one the person has passed an assessment it is down to that person to to ensure that if their condition or eye sight should deteriorate they take the responsible action. I don not have the authority to tell people that have had a scooter for some time to stop driving it. Just the same as owning a car. Which is far more dangerous
Idont mind seeing scooty users on the road thats what they are for maybe the selling dealer should hold some responcibility for user of the vehicle what i dont like is getting a scooty up my jacksie when in a shop
I have no problem with electric wheelchair users in shops as these people cant walk but scooty users can walk but get too lazy to park them outside
I will quite happily re assess anyone who feels they need it.

Drupal, the popular open source Web content management system, will sacrifice speed for scalability in the upcoming Drupal 7 upgrade, the founder of the project said on Monday afternoon.
The upgrade to Drupal, meanwhile, could be available perhaps in the June timeframe or as late as September, said Drupal project founder Dries Buytaert in a presentation at the Drupalcon SF conference in San Francisco. Ideally, version 7 would be available this month, he said.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Open Sources blogger Savio Rodrigues explores whether the Open Government Directive will boost Drupal usage. ]
"Unfortunately, Drupal 7 will be a little slower than Drupal 6, but it will be much more scalable" and able to power bigger sites, Buytaert said.
A slower Drupal did not upset conference attendee Jerome Hughes, a freelance developer. "He's also talking about it being able to scale," Hughes said, "so when he says it's slower it means out of the box. "
If version 7 is easier to develop with but a little but slower out of the box, then the speed reduction "is probably not going to be that big of a deal," Hughes said.
Buytaert reflected on the emergence of Drupal as well as where it is headed. The immediate upgrade, Drupal 7, features 70 modules, including an image API, and a substantial growth in code size, said Buytaert.
Buytaert stressed the urgency of Drupal 7. "First of all, it's very important that we get it out as soon as possible" to maintain momentum, he said.
Currently, Drupal powers about 1 percent of Websites, trailing WordPress, which runs about 8.5 percent of the Web, according to Buytaert.
For the subsequent Drupal 8 upgrade, developers are seeking enterprise capabilities, including configuration management and staging, Buytaert said. Usability and performance improvements will be needed for both high- and low-end Drupal sites, he said.
Companies such as IBM and Microsoft are getting behind Drupal, with IBM releasing a number of Drupal sites and Microsoft making moves such as backing the Acquia Drupal distribution and linking the SQL Server database to Drupal.
"I think it's another example of the big elephants stepping into the game and investing in Drupal," said Buytaert.
Also on the horizon for the Drupal project is a shift from the CVS (Concurrent Versions System) for software revision control to the Git distributed revision control system. The switch will be made probably during the Drupal 8 development cycle, Buytaert said. "I think it will give us new ways of working together," he said.
Buytaert offered little optimism for the future of proprietary CMS, which require license fees. "I think long-term, open source will win," he said.
Buytaert also hailed the emergence of the Semantic Web, which is intended to link documents contextually on the Web; RDF (Resource Description Framework), enabling information to be pulled from other Websites; and cloud computing and SaaS. He is CTO and founder of Acquia, which is developing a hosted version of Drupal called Drupal Gardens.
"I'm very passionate about cloud computing and SaaS," he said, calling it a new stage in computing.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A former school bus driver faces ten felony counts of possessing child pornography, after authorities said parents from different states contacted police over their daughters' online contact with the man.
36-year old Benjamin Minor of Mazomanie appeared in Dane County court Friday in a suicide prevention smock. A court commissioner set his bail at $2,500.
A criminal complaint states fathers in Florida and Vermont contacted authorities, after discovering sexually explicit text message exchanges between their daughters and Minor. The complaint states Minor admitted to online contact with as many as twenty potentially underage girls across the country, and sent a photo of his genitalia to one girl.
Minor said he was fired his school bus driving job last week.
Authorities said agents from the state department of justice seized child pornography images from computer devices used by Minor.

The San Diego Padres (38-47) have now swept the series against the Cincinnati Reds (43-41), as the Padres shut out the Redlegs, 3-0, Wednesday afternoon. The Reds now move to 1-5 against the Padres on the season.
"I think its a frustrated group and team in general," Reds' manager Bryan Price said. "I think we had a chance to gain some ground on Milwaukee and St. Louis, but we didn't take advantage of it."
San Diego's starting pitcher Tyson Ross (7-8) pitched his first career complete game and first career complete game shutout, only giving up three hits, striking out nine and not walking a batter.
The only three runs of the game came on a first inning two-out three-RBI single by catcher Rene Rivera which landed just short of the glove of a diving Billy Hamilton in short center-field. Rivera's single was the first single to produce three runs in the MLB this season.
Reds' starter Johnny Cueto (8-6) managed to keep the Padres off the board after the first, putting in a quality start of seven innings, giving up three runs on seven hits, striking out eight and allowing three base on balls. Cueto's ERA rises to 1.99 with today's start, which is still good for the best ERA of any starting pitcher in the MLB.
The Cincinnati offense struggled all day, as they only managed three hits, two of which coming on singles from Todd Frazier and the third coming from a double from Brayan Pena. Pena later advanced to third on a groundout by Zack Cozart, but was stranded as pinch hitter Joey Votto flew out to right-field to end the inning. Pena was the only Red to advance past first base in today's game.
"We didn't score any runs, there were just a lot of things that were missed opportunities today," Price said.

Police bust PR companies for illegal deletion of news and social media postings
On December 5, the People's Daily published a report about a police investigation into companies that offer services to delete news items and social media postings from the Internet.
The article does not, of course, mention that the biggest deleter of information from the Internet is the government itself and that because of censorship and self-censorship, deleting news articles and social media posts is entirely natural behavior for editors and other staff of Chinese Internet companies.
Nonetheless, it's worth a read to get a sense of how filthy the Internet PR business is in China. And to permit ourselves some self-promotion, paid deletion and spam are key reasons that why Danwei's social media tracking and media monitoring services do not rely only on automated, technical solutions and always have experienced human editors checking all of our findings.
The original Chinese report is here, below is a translation.
China's biggest case of illegal operations by Internet PR company cracked
Charging fees from clients and bribing website administrators: Recently, Bejing police discovered a website that provides illegal services with unlawful revenues exceeding 10 million yuan, making it the largest Internet PR company on record that has engaged in illegal activities since the Supreme Court released the latest interpretation regarding Internet crimes.
Recently, in the nationwide campaign against organized online rumor mongering and other Internet crimes, Beijing police discovered that six PR companies including Beijing Koubei Interactive Marketing (北京口碑互动营销策划有限公司) have engaged in paid information deletion and other illegal activities. Under the unified directions of the Ministry of Public Security, police authorities of more than ten provinces made scores of arrests, with 10 million yuan of illegal revenues seized. Read more

Arizona Diamondbacks to skip Trevor Cahill's next start
By Arizona Sports
Originally published: Apr 14, 2014 - 2:01 pm
Originally published: Apr 14, 2014 - 2:01 pm
Trevor Cahill's tough start to the 2014 season has cost him at least one outing.
Trevor Cahill will not make his next scheduled start, will likely move to bullpen. Either Bo Schultz or Mike Bolsinger will replace him.— John Gambadoro (@Gambo987) April 14, 2014
Cahill is 0-4 with a 9.17 ERA this season, and the 26-year-old right-hander has struggled mightily in three of his four outings.
Schultz, 28, is 0-1 with a 2.84 ERA in 6.1 innings this season, while the 26-year-old Bolsinger is 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA for Triple-A Reno.
The Diamondbacks have a scheduled off day on April 17, meaning they don't necessarily have to "replace" Cahill in the rotation to give him a one-start reprieve.

A Megabus traveling on Interstate 85 from Atlanta to Charlotte caught fire Wednesday afternoon in Hart County, shutting down the northbound side of the highway.
The bus stopped near mile marker 179, just south of the South Carolina state line about noon.
Some of the nearly 80 passengers on board told FOX Carolina that a tire blew. They said that as the bus was trying to stop, something in the back overheated and caught fire.
Passengers said the driver was a hero, pulling over the bus and safely and quickly evacuating it.
"She got everybody off the bus, and then the bus went up in flames after that. So she did a very good job," said passenger Samaad Stewart.
As soon as the passengers were evacuated, they said they turned around to see the rear of the bus engulfed in flames.
SLIDESHOW: Megabus catches fire near SC-GA line
Passengers were taken on a school bus to a nearby restaurant to await for another Megabus to take them on to Charlotte. They finally made it to North Carolina more than 8 hours later on a new bus. Read more about their Charlotte arrival here.
None of the passengers, including 15 children, were injured.
The cause of the fire was under investigation. Northbound lanes of the interstate reopened around 6:30 p.m. The Georgia Department of Transportation said there was a 19-mile traffic back up for most of the day.
Megabus, a discount bus line that sells fares as cheap as $1 online, has been in the news recently for two crashes that resulted in death. The first happened Aug. 2, when one of the company's double-decker buses hit a support pillar of an Illinois overpass, killing one passenger and injuring dozens more. On Tuesday, a Chicago woman was killed when she was hit by the mirror of a passing Megabus.
In a statement to FOX Carolina, Megabus.com COO Dale Moser said safety is the company's first priority. He said the company has invested more than $150 million in new buses to better monitor performance.
The recent Megabus incidents have many passengers wondering about bus lines and safety in general.
Tammy Dankovich, vice president of the Better Business Bureau in Greenville, said customers should check out a bus company with the BBB to see how many complaints or issues others have had with them.
In the last three years, Megabus had 324 complaints filed with the BBB. Passengers are reminded to check the bus company's policy in case of a breakdown, to see how long they have been in business and if they have a Department of Transportation license.
Dankovich said all buses have to be federally licensed. She said passengers should verify their license number and can use it to check their current and past safety rating.

Official 2013 NCAA/NFL Handegg Thread
I believe I called the Seahawks as champs in this very thread two months ago (and before the season started, but that's just hearsay at this juncture). Anyway, I'm sad that NFL season is over. Now I have to work and play guitar and stuff. For months.
I had to click "load more replies" like 7 times just to read the Omess vs Jeff discussion. Last year, we were told by the one true Mod (Dave) that this would be corrected soon. Can we make the reply system the way it used to be already? Or do I have to perform inception each time someone makes more than one reply?
I don't particularly like it either. We'll need to see if this can be changed, and Dave (The Mod of All Mods) will be tasked with making the change, assuming it's possible. I've been on forums going back to before forums existed (Usenet, anyone?), so I have a pretty good sense of what works well and what doesn't, and this isn't my favorite setup.

Swimming & Diving Takes Home Third Place at All-Florida Invite
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – FGCU's Swimming and Diving team finishes in third place with 596 points after the final day of the All-Florida Invitational at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center in Gainesville Sunday night.
Host Florida finished in first place with 1141.5 points, followed by FSU with 763.5 and Miami with 570 points, in fourth. FAU (385), North Florida (244), Nova Southeastern (141) and Rollins (16) rounded out the bottom four teams after the three-day event. "We had a really great last day and we were able to overtake Miami and finish in third" said head coach Neal Studd.

The Eagles started off with 10th and 12th place finishes in the 1650-yard freestyle from junior Jessie Porter (Chorleywood, Hertforshire, United Kingdom/Royal Masonic), and senior Eva Lehtonen (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams HS/Florida) with times of 17:23.58 and 17:27.81, respectively.

BOSTON — Teachers at public and private schools, workers at child care centers and school bus drivers are among those who will soon be required to submit fingerprints for criminal background checks under a new Massachusetts law.
Gov. Deval Patrick signed the wide-reaching measure saying it closes a loophole in existing state law and will help protect children.
Under the new law, the fingerprints will be submitted to the state police for a state criminal history check and also forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national background check. Under the previous law, fingerprints were not required and only a state check was conducted.
All newly hired teachers, bus drivers and others working at schools will be required to undergo the background checks before the start of the next school year.
Current employees must undergo the checks before the 2016-2017 school year.
Licensed family child care providers, their household members age 15 or older, and individuals regularly on the premises of a family child care home will also be subject to the checks, as will subcontractors commissioned to perform work on school grounds.
Previously, schools were only allowed to conduct background checks for crimes committed inside Massachusetts using the state's name-based Criminal Offender Record Information system. Those system checks did not include any criminal history record information for crimes committed outside the state.
"We have historically checked the background of employees in schools and day care centers based on information that we can get from Massachusetts, but people move around so we ought to be able to get that information from elsewhere," Patrick said yesterday in announcing the new law he signed Thursday.
The governor's office said that the law will not cost the state or school districts, that the fees associated with the fingerprint checks will be the responsibility of the person being fingerprinted, and that the national criminal checks are done on a one-time basis.
The information gleaned from the background checks can be used by investigators from the Department of Early Education and Care and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education looking into allegations of misconduct by teachers.
The fingerprint background checks would also apply to everyone seeking to adopt children or become foster parents as well as all other employees of school departments who may have direct, unmonitored contact with children.

WAUSAU (WAOW) - The Wisconsin Woodchucks swept a seven inning doubleheader tonight with the Eau Claire Express, improving to 5-2 and forcing a tie at the top of the division with the Express.
To begin the first game, both starting pitchers dominated their opposition through the first four innings. Bryce Shafer (2-2) went 5.1 innings allowing five hits, three walks, and striking out four. Eau Claire starter Ian Campbell (3-1) would go all six innings, allowing only four hits, walking two, and striking out five.
The only run of the first game came courtesy of Brock Stassi in the top of the fifth inning, as Stassi would hit a monster solo homer to right field. Mitchell Beacom came on with one on and one out in the sixth, and would go the distance in dominating fashion and notch the save 1-0.
The nightcap was also a pitchers duel, as the 'Chucks would barely edge the Express by a score of 2-1. Nick Capito (3-0) got the win, going five innings and giving up four hits, one walk, and striking out three.
The 'Chucks got on the board in the second inning when Kevin Pillar would lead off with a single and steal a bag, before Brandon King would step up to the plate and smack a double off the right field wall to score Pillar. Grand Dozar doubled off Eau Claire starter Brad Goldberg (1-4) with one out in the third. After a Brock Stassi fly out, Travis Whitmore mashed a clutch two out single to bring Pillar home and make the score 2-0.
Andrew Klausmeier pitched a scoreless 6th inning and strike out the side, before giving way to Anthony Drobnick to notch his third save on the season.
With the wins, the 'Chucks move into a three way tie for first place in the South Division with the La Crosse Loggers and Eau Claire Express. The 'Chucks will now host the Green Bay Bullfrogs tomorrow night to kick off a home-away-home series to finish play before the All-Star break.

If you are a metal fan, this album deserves to be included in your collection. This CD starts rocking from the opening song and doesn't let up until the end. They have come up with a new, unique sound that doesn't rip off other bands. Dave (lead singer) uses an effective mixture of singing with some rap thrown in. His voice is powerful and he uses it well. The guitars and drums also sound great. The electronics are, for the most part, used sparingly but are a little overused on "The Game." If you like bands like Slipknot, StainD, Static-X, Godsmack, and Sevendust you will dig this CD. If you are looking for a death metal band like Fear Factory or Sepultura then it will probably not be heavy enough for you.Overall, this is the best CD I've bought in the last year. See them live if you get the chance. You wont regret it.

Stupify and Numb are two of my favourite songs ever and Down with the Sickness and Voices are freaking awesome as well. Theres nothing that I hate on this CD.
Imagine Primer 55, Gravity Kills, and Cold all mixed up and you've got Disturbed. Their music can be described as a heavy groovecore with an alternative nu-metal sound mixed with electronica. The vocals are a kind of half-rap, half-singing style with a distinct sound that flows well with the music. There aren't really any standout tracks on the cd because every song is good but if I would have to pick a fav I would say "Voices", "Stupify", and "Down with the Sickness" are cool. They also do a good cover of the song "Shout". This band definitely has their own style and a distinct sound fresh to the music industry. One of the best debuts I've heard. Recommended. Other upcoming debuts to checkout: Papa Roach, Professional Murder Music, Glassjaw, Taproot, Slaves On Dope, and Sicboy.
Even now that nu-metal is about as popular as flannel, I firmly believe that "The Sickness" is a great debut (one of the best debuts this side of the year 2000) from one of nu-metal's best bands. Disturbed's follow up album, 2002's "Believe," is more mature than this C.D., but "The Sickness" is more imaginative. And it's full of raw aggression, off-the-wall energy, and catchy songs (almost every one of these songs is very catchy). "Stupify" has vocal hooks, whereas many of the other songs (i.e. "The Game" and "Down With The Sickness") have cool, fast scat (by frontman David Draiman). "Voices" is another highlight (it has stutter-step rapping and syncopated riffs), as is "Fear" (which has eerie electronics and a mosh-pit ready, fist-pumping chorus) and "Shout 2000″ (which is a louder, more pissed off version of a song originally done by a band called Tears For Fears). Finally, with violent lyrics and mean vocals, "Meaning of Life" is a good anthem to listen to when you're mad at the world.
It may not be the most innovative or mature album ever, but this is essential nu-metal and a must have for everybody who has 1990's nostalgia. The bottom line is if you hate nu-metal, it would probably be wise to give "The Sickness" a wide birth, but if you do like this genre and this band, or if you are willing to listen with an open mind, you should really like this C.D.
I bought Disturbed's THE SICKNESS, after not being able to get "The Game" out of my head following the third time I heard it on the "Funky Monkey" FM station here in Tacoma. This was already after I had heard "Stupify" (which I had originally thought was called "StupidFly"), "Voices" and "Down With The Sickness" for the hundredth time, each. While I kinda liked each song to some extent, I had always found myself making fun of them, especially with lead vocalist David Draiman's unique, and often annoying, vocal ticks and mannerisms (including the repetitive "Zooooo-ah!!!" in "Voices" and "OH-WA-A-A-A-AH!!" in "Down With The Sickness"). But then, I heard "The Game" and I decided, what the…"The Game" has everything: Great keyboard sound, great drumbeat/bass, knife-edged guitar in all the right places, and a masterful combination of wistful-sounding, melodic, tenor-pitched singing with angry screaming that has all the impact of a kick to the head. And, you can dance to it! (Although I don't dance.) Above anything and everything else on this CD, "The Game" is a masterpiece–of its time and genre.As I finally got around to playing the rest of the CD, I found that (to my surprise) most of the other songs are very good, and do not sound very much like each other. That really surprised me, because I had found the first three songs I had heard by them to be a bit too similar to each other (especially "Voices" and "Down With The Sickness"). Although similar themes are rotated around quite a bit on the CD, there is much greater variety in the music than I had expected to hear. "Violence Fetish" has a heavy-industrial sound, and the hook line "Bring the Violence/It's significant" is used to good effect. "Numb" begins with a new-age swirl of keyboards at the beginning that is both surprising and fresh, "Want" has a funky feel, and "Conflict" with its repeated snarls of "enemy" is dark, intriguing–but that's not all! It also features soft, almost soothing vocals from David Draiman in its quiet bridge, before letting loose with heavy rhythm; Draiman uses his synthesized voice as its own instrument here, as he repeats "Eh-eh-eh-eh-ENEMY!!!"Now, for the *real* surprise of THE SICKNESS: "Shout2000," Disturbed's unbelievable version of the 1985 Tears For Fears classic "Shout." Blending some of the atmospheric keyboards of the original with modern, diamond-hard rhythm guitar power chords and upbeat, pummelling mid-tempo drumbeats, this is simply one of the greatest cover songs of all time. For me, it comes a very close second on this CD to "The Game." The CD rounds out with two excellent songs: "Droppin' Plates" and "Meaning of Life." The former begins with some loud funky rapping by David Draiman, and blends it with dizzying '80's-New-Wave synthesizer, along with a '90's hip-hop beat. Pretty cool! The latter has elements of all the other songs: lots of rap-screaming, buzzsaw guitars, trippy synths, and lots of double-bass drumming, with plenty of expert time-changes, courtesy of the extremely talented drummer/programmer Mike Wengren. Two things that are clearly evident on THE SICKNESS are excellent musicianship and production values.Given the fact that this CD is titled THE SICKNESS, I (of course) have decided to save my comments for "Down With The Sickness" for last. Essentially the title track of the CD, it is given entirely new life (and meaning) than the edited version played on the radio. It includes a bridge that is so violent and disturbing in its (de-)nature that it is the aural equivalent of DAWN OF THE DEAD, or AMERICAN PSYCHO, for that matter. The lyrics cannot be repeated here, even in part, and they are not included in the printed lyrics on the inside CD cover. All I can say about this section of "Down With The Sickness" is that it is not for the faint-of-heart, and delivers a far greater impact than the entire first Slipknot CD, which I also have and will review at a later date.Forget about what the Amazon music editor says about the supposedly "XXX-rated HOOBASTANK," by the band of the same name. Hell, HOOBASTANK doesn't even have the Parental Advisory sticker on it–they don't even curse on their CD. Believe me when I say that, on the basis of "Down With The Sickness" alone, Disturbed's THE SICKNESS definitely earns it's Parental Advisory sticker–and then some. This is a significant debut from a loud and angry band, and I think that more disturbing things can be expected on Disturbed's upcoming sophomore CD. Then again, they may just turn around, and surprise me again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Mutual Funds
Mutual funds are used by many investors to help accomplish their financial security goals. There are a lot of reasons to invest in mutual funds. They may be especially useful when you're investing for your:
- Retirement
- Education funding needs
- Personal investment portfolio
Advantages of Mutual Funds
Mutual funds can offer some real benefits to the investor. Of course, the benefits could vary depending on the mutual fund, but here are a few common advantages:
- Mutual funds are managed by companies that work in the financial markets all day, every day. That means they have immediate access to timely research and news that the average investor cannot get. These professionals decide what to buy and sell and when. This makes mutual funds a convenient way to keep up with opportunities without the trouble and paperwork, and the cost is less than hiring a professional money manager.
- Due to the volume of trading they do, these companies have generally also negotiated lower commissions than individual investors can get. That could be a significant savings for you.
- Mutual funds can give you automatic diversification. Your money is "pooled" with other investors' money. The fund(s) you choose will contain many different securities, so, your buying power is enhanced. A $500 mutual fund investment can buy you holdings in many securities; a $500 investment in an individual stock gets you shares in only that one stock. This method of diversification is an especially useful way for smaller investors to participate in the stock and bond markets.
- You can choose a fund to fit you. There are thousands of mutual funds available in the marketplace. Each has investment objectives, which are explained in its prospectus. All you need to do is find one that meets your particular goals and personality, and start investing.
Even easier, a COUNTRY Financial® representative can help you select the right funds for your situation.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Mutual funds are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by COUNTRY Trust Bank® or its affiliates, nor insured by the FDIC, the U.S. government, or any governmental agency.
A mutual fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.

ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Pakistan's army chief will hold his first meeting with senior U.S. commanders Wednesday to discuss American airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers at two Afghan border posts last year.
The attack, which the U.S. has said was an accident and Pakistan claimed was deliberate, severely strained the already troubled relations between the two allies. Both sides have said they want to repair ties and move forward, but have made little progress.
Pakistan retaliated for the November airstrikes by kicking the U.S. out of a base used by American drones and closing its border to supplies meant for NATO troops in Afghanistan.
The U.S. is eager to get the supplies moving again because it has had to spend much more money shipping goods by an alternative route that runs through Central Asia. The supply line through Pakistan will also be key to trucking out equipment as the U.S. seeks to withdraw most of its combat forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
A workable relationship is also important because Pakistan is seen as key to striking a peace agreement with the Taliban that would allow U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan without the country descending into further chaos.
Pakistan would also benefit from patching up relations because U.S. assistance has helped keep its struggling economy afloat. The U.S. has given Pakistan billions of dollars in aid since 2001 to enlist its support in fighting Islamist militants, but the relationship has been plagued by mistrust.
The Pakistani army said Gen. Asfhaq Pervez Kayani and the top U.S. commander in the region, Gen. James Mattis, and the top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, will discuss the investigation of the American airstrikes and ways to improve border coordination. The meeting will be held at army headquarters in Rawalpindi, just outside the capital, Islamabad, the army statement said.
Pakistan has demanded a direct apology for the deaths of its soldiers, but this has been complicated by domestic political considerations in the U.S. and conflicting accounts of who is to blame for the incident.
A U.S. investigation found that mistakes were made on both sides, but that the airstrikes came after Pakistani troops fired at U.S. and Afghan special forces who were conducting an operation on the Afghan side of the border.
Pakistan refused to participate in the investigation, claiming past probes of border incidents were biased. It conducted its own inquiry, which rejected the U.S. allegation that its troops fired first and claimed the American attack was deliberate.
The attack followed a string of other incidents that had damaged the U.S.-Pakistan relationship, including the unilateral American raid that killed Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani garrison town last May and the shooting deaths of two Pakistanis at the hands of a CIA contractor last January.
Pakistan's parliament is currently debating a revised framework for its relationship with the U.S.
Washington hopes the process will result in the border being reopened to NATO supplies, but it's unclear whether the U.S. would be willing to meet the parliament's demands and whether the parliamentarians themselves can come to a consensus.
The proposed demands being debated include an apology for the deadly airstrikes, an end to American drone attacks in the country and more money for NATO supplies that are shipped through Pakistan.
Washington has expressed regret for the border incident but avoided a formal apology. U.S. officials were reportedly preparing to apologize last month but had to postpone the plan after U.S. soldiers burned copies of the Quran in Afghanistan. President Barack Obama apologized for that, bring criticism from political opponents.
U.S. officials have offered key concessions to Pakistan in a bid to save the CIA's drone campaign in the country, including giving the Pakistanis advance notice of a strike and limiting the types of targets. But the offers were flatly rejected, said U.S. and Pakistani officials.
The drone attacks are very unpopular in Pakistan because many people believe they mostly kill civilians, an allegation denied by the U.S.
Pakistani officials have repeatedly criticized the attacks as a violation of the country's sovereignty, but the government has helped with some of the strikes in the past. That cooperation has come under serious strain as the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated.
Obama met with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on the sidelines of a nuclear summit in Seoul, South Korea, on Tuesday. He said the U.S. and Pakistan are seeking a balanced partnership that respects Pakistan's sovereignty "but also respects our concerns with respect to our national security and our needs to battle terrorists who have targeted us in the past."

Disability Awareness Month can even affect the workplace.
Kearney's Vocational Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Center works with those with disabilities who really want to work, and helps them be more successful in their lives.
In the past year, they've helped 129 people find work in 13 counties with different services ranging from career planning to resolving barriers on the job.
"What we want to do is foster a more inclusive society, a more inclusive Nebraska, so that everybody is recognized for their ability in what they can do and what they have to offer," said Kearney Vocational Rehabilitation's Elaine Anderson. "Everyone has a service they can offer, so we focus on that and help people with disabilities to obtain and maintain employment."
By offering these services, they say they're making society more aware that most people can work if given the right tools.
"You may be working with someone who has a disability and doesn't know it, but with October being Disability Awareness Month, what we want to do is acknowledge that everybody has a service to offer, that many people have that many people with disabilities have the ability to work and the desire to work."
Kearney's Vocational Rehabilitation office is hosting an open house all this week to celebrate Disability Awareness month.

The Dream Academy Radio
The airy baroque British pop trio dubbed the Dream Academy emerged in the mid-'80s as one of the leading lights of the psychedelic revival movement. The group was led by vocalist/guitarist Nick Laird-Clowes, a former member of the short-lived Act; also comprised of multi-instumentalist Kate St. John (an alumna of the Ravishing Beauties) and keyboardist Gilbert Gabriel, the Dream Academy issued their eponymously titled debut LP in 1985. Co-produced by David Gilmour, the atmospheric lead single "Life in a Northern Town," an elegy for Nick Drake, quickly reached the Top 20 of the U.K. charts; issued in the U.S. the following year, it became a Top Ten hit. The trio's follow-up single, "The Love Parade," failed to repeat the success of its predecessor, however, and the band's commercial momentum stalled. After 1987's Remembrance Days quickly dropped from sight, the Dream Academy went into seclusion; when their 1991 comeback, A Different Kind of Weather, failed to restore their chart luster, the group promptly disbanded. In subsequent years St. John was the trio's most visible graduate; in addition to touring with Van Morrison, she teamed with Roger Eno, Bill Nelson, and others in the group Channel Light Vessel, and in 1996 issued her solo debut, Indescribable Night. ~ Jason AnkenyPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.
