KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A common fear is sweeping through the Midwest's drug-enforcement community: that methamphetamine, the narcotic scourge that has wounded middle America as no drug ever before, is about to surge again because of extreme federal slashes in police funding.

In Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska, the story is the same. Just as statistics show that anti-meth task forces may be beginning to gain an upper hand on those who manufacture, deal and use the highly addictive and destructive drug, the source of the majority of these states' drug-enforcement funding is slated to disappear overnight.

Radiohead's name-your-price download strategy, in which the band offered its latest album, "In Rainbows," to consumers for whatever price they chose, has been the talk of the music world for months.

Now at least one major artist is following closely in the U.K. band's ground-breaking footsteps. On Sunday, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor announced on his Web site, nin.com, that he was immediately making available a new four-part album, "Ghosts I-IV," containing 36 instrumental tracks spanning nearly two hours. The music was made available in five configurations at five price levels, ranging from free (for downloads of nine songs) to $300 (for a box set that includes two CDs, a DVD, an optical disc containing a slide show, and four vinyl albums).

We the Kings' self‑titled sure to be a hit among all the pop‑punk lovers out there. The whole album is an anthem to anyone who has ever feel repressed by parents/guardians (and really, what teenager hasn't?). Their songs are full of teenage angst captured in fun catchy music.

The lyrics of their hit single "Check Yes Juliet" describe a present day Romeo and Juliet problem. The song include verses like "Run baby, run. Don't ever look back. They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance." and "Just sneak out and don't tell a soul goodbye." In another single "Skyway Avenue" the song is about leaving a boring town and starting something new.

From wikipedia:

Jacob Fugger (6 March 1459 – 30 December 1525), sometimes known as Jacob Fugger the Rich, was a German banker and a member of the Fugger family.

Fugger was born in the Swabian town of Augsburg in the Holy Roman Empire, the son of a weaver who settled there in the late 15th century. A trader like his brothers, he learned double-entry bookkeeping in Venice.
