Detective Alex Cross and Bree's wedding plans are put on hold when Alex is called to the scene of the perfectly executed assassination of two of Washington D.C.'s most corrupt: a dirty congressmen and a scheming lobbyist. Next, the elusive marksman begins picking off other crooked politicians, sparking a blaze of theories - is the marksman a hero or a vigilante?
The case explodes and FBI agent Max Siegel battles Alex for jurisdiction. As Alex struggles with the sniper, Siegel, and the wedding, he receives a call from his deadliest adversary, Kyle Craig. The Mastermind is in D.C. and will not relent until he has eliminated Cross--and his family - for good. With a supercharged blend of suspense, action, and deception, Cross Fire is James Patterson's most exciting Alex Cross novel ever.
Solve another case with Alex Cross.

"Enjoyable -- easy listen"
I enjoyed the narrator, and my first listen to an Alex Cross book -- although I may have read one or two awhile back. I agree with the others that bring up some concerns about the story -- characters and scenes that seem to have no point. The ending wasn't high on consistency -- how could our expert villain walk into such an easy take down by Cross.
Given those problems, the book was fun, entertaining, easy to follow, and one I wanted to finish . . . quickly. Maybe another reviewer can provide best choices for Alex Cross books so I can try another.

"Good book"
I thought this was a good book. Very short though. I didn't like the new reader for Alex Cross as much as the old one but I enjoyed it a lot.
I enjoy listening to the Alex Cross books. Have heard them all. I was also disappointed with the new narrator. It felt like he was rushing it. And the book wasn't that long I couldn't figure out why.
By the very end I was used to him but the narration was definitely worse than in previous books. The book was ok. I don't expect too much from Patterson books anymore as he churns them out so quickly. But quick entertainment is what I expected and what I got.
"Typical Alex Cross"
I enjoyed the latest Alex Cross book Cross Fire. Was concerned to discover a new reader in Andre Braugher but he did not disappoint. It's going to take a little while to totally get used to him but he did fine. Glad that there's some closure to Alex's hunt for one of his nemesis. Don't want to give anything away but I was happy at the end. Looking forward to the next chapter in the life of Alex and family.
"Cross Fire by James Patterson"
He's back!!!! I have enjoyed each and every one of the Alex Cross series. It was refreshing not to have a co author writing under Patterson's name. Well worth a listen.
"Great!! Really enjoyed!"
This is the typical ride you get in a Cross novel. I don't understand the negative feedback about the narration, I enjoyed Andre and didn't have any trouble with him as Cross. If you are a Cross fan this is a great, quick read.
Say something about yourself!
"Not the same old Alex Cross"
I have to agree with Sam to a certain extent, having Andre Braugher narrate make me feel like I'm in the middle of an episode of Homicide: Life on the Streets. I'm not sure what the reason is for changing narrators and hopefully this is not a permanent change, if so I may have to actually read any new Alex Cross books. The story was very enjoyable and left me wanting more. I have always enjoyed this series and cannot wait until the next one, hopefully I'll listen to it.
"Loved it All - Including Narration!"
I enjoyed the story line, the writing and the narration! It was one of the best and I loved every moment.
"Another good Cross novel"
I have to disagree with previous reviewers who didn't like Andre Braugher's narration. I thought he did a great job as the voice of Alex Cross. I didn't get the feeling he was rushing through the reading-just reading at a reasonable pace. He wasn't an overly dramatic reader, which I found quite refreshing. The story wasn't quite as gripping as some Cross novels but still had it's tense moments and moved us along in the tale of Alex Cross's life.
"Should have read hard copy."
As a James Patterson/Alex Cross fan, this book does not disappoint. While the content was great, the narration leaves a lot to be desired. I will read the next Alex Cross book but if the narrators are the same, I will most likely buy the hard copy.

- The cost for the program is $186 for all 17 weeks and provides access to all the online apps and tools. You can pay this in two ways:

- You may pay with a check or credit card.

Electronic equipment and job-related work at home
October 03, 2005
Among persons who reported working at home at least once per week in 2004, about 8 in 10 used a computer as part of their work at home, and just slightly fewer used a telephone.
About 70 percent of all persons who usually worked at home made use of the Internet or email to work at home. Less than half (43 percent) used fax.
In general, wage and salary workers who were paid to work at home as part of a formal arrangement were more likely to use electronic equipment at home than those who were just taking work home from the job.
These data on work at home are from the Current Population Survey. Find out more in "Work at Home in 2004," news release USDL 05-1768.

Project Management Accountingby Kevin R. Callahan Gary S. Stetz Lynne M. Brooks
Praise for Project Management Accounting "Let me start with what the Second Edition of Project Management Accounting is not. . . . it is not an inch wide and a mile deep. Instead, it provides multiple lenses to anticipate both intended and unintended consequences through sound principles of Project Management and accounting as well as inquiry focused on both risks to the project and reputational capital. It should be on every decision makers bookshelf to pick up and remind them of their essential foundation when they face a major project or the risk of mental myopia. " -Barry van Dyck, PhD, Recruiting and Admissions Director, EMBA, Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame Acquire the accounting knowledge and skills to become a top-performing Project Management professional Project Management accounting involves much more than just understanding how project income and expense impact the general ledger. To truly succeed in today's competitive business environment, project managers must also understand how to budget resources, determine ROI, and track costs and expenses for projects as well as become adept at strategy and executive decision making and portfolio management. With its focus on accounting, Project Management Accounting: Budgeting, Tracking, and Reporting Costs and Profitability, Second Edition is designed to enhance the business skills of project managers at all levels of experience. Now in a fully updated second edition, Project Management Accounting clearly explains step-by-step how project expensing (for both internal projects and outside vendors) should be capitalized or expensed in order to keep the budget on track and improve profitability. The proficient author team of Callahan, Stetz, and Brooks culls their decades of experience to show readers how to achieve the greatest tax/cost savings by helping them determine what portion of the project can be capitalized. This Second Edition of Project Management Accounting includes current case studies and sample checklists to help professionals hit the ground running by immediately applying concepts to their own business scenarios. Here, CFOs, controllers, project managers, and accounting managers will discover how to: Understand risk assessment from an accounting and auditing perspectiv Maximize project outcomes by leveraging accounting and financing tools and principles Improve each project's profitability by understanding its costs and benefits Analyze their business's financial information to choose the right project, every time Apply proper accounting principles to a project Develop a project budget based on a company's financial performance and needs Project Management Accounting provides the knowledge and skills to become proficient in Project Management and maximize the profitability and ROI of any project.

After dabbing your skin with an oil-blotting sheet or tissue, begin with a multipurpose product, like a multicolored powder that can be used in many ways on your face or a lipstick that can be used as a blush substitute. Add or fix your color where needed and then take a mattifying liquid, put it into the palm of your hand, and mix it with a bit of antibacterialgel then press that on top of your makeup. Doing this will actually make it look like you've taken out a brush and put more powder on to give yourself a refreshed appearance

Patty Griffin
A singer and songwriter whose literate, impressionistic storytelling and richly evocative melodies have made her one of the best-respected artists in the contemporary folk community, Patty Griffin was born in Old Town, Maine on March 16, 1964. The youngest of seven children, Griffin was 16 years old when she bought her first guitar for $50. While Griffin learned to play, she showed no interest in making music a career in her teens and twenties; however, when her marriage broke up in 1992, Griffin, now living in Boston, developed a keener interest in writing songs, and was soon performing regularly at local coffeehouses. A&R people from A&M Records were impressed with Griffin's songs and soulful performing style, and she was signed to a record deal; early attempts to capture her sound in the studio didn't quite click, so her 1996 debut album, Living with Ghosts, was drawn from Griffin's original acoustic demo recordings. The 1998 follow-up, Flaming Red, teamed Griffin with a full band and a full-bodied production in sharp contrast to the spare sound of the debut. Griffin recorded an album in 2000 with producer Daniel Lanois called Silver Bell, but before it could be released, A&M was taken over by Universal in a corporate merger, and the album was put on the shelf while Griffin was left in limbo. Eventually, Griffin was released from her A&M contract, and she signed with ATO Records, the artist-friendly label founded by Dave Matthews, and ATO released 1000 Kisses in 2002. In 2003 Griffin released a live album, A Kiss in Time, and by this time she was gaining greater recognition as a performer, with her songs being recorded by Willie Nelson, the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, and Emmylou Harris, while Shawn Colvin, Miranda Lambert, Solomon Burke, and the Wreckers would follow suit over the next several years.
After releasing 2004's Impossible Dream, Griffin took three years off from the studio before returning with 2007's Children Running Through, which was named the year's best album by the Americana Music Association. In 2010 Griffin and her friend and collaborator Buddy Miller set up shop in Nashville's Downtown Presbyterian Church to record Downtown Church, a set of spiritually themed numbers, which won a Grammy for Best Traditional Gospel Album. That same year, Griffin took part in the recording sessions for Robert Plant's album Band of Joy, and she joined Plant's road band for the subsequent concert tour; Griffin also became the belated subject of music business gossip when she and Plant entered into a love affair that found the former Led Zeppelin singer briefly relocating to Austin, Texas, where she'd been living since the late '90s. By 2013 Griffin and Plant had gracefully parted ways, and she released the primarily acoustic set American Kid, a joint release between Columbia and New West Records. Also in 2013, Griffin's unreleased album Silver Bell finally received an official release (though the album had been circulating among fans for years), and her song "We Are Water" was performed by Hayden Panettiere on the hit TV series
. In 2015 Griffin launched her own label, PGM, distributed by Thirty Tigers, and inaugurated the imprint with a new album, Servant of Love.

Product Review (submitted on March 29, 2010):
At first, I didn't get this tea. I tried it, drank it, smelled it. Didn't get it. Then I mixed it half-and-half with the organic Assam and it was a revelation! I heard music playing, birds chirping, and flowers singing. NOW I get it. The two together are fantabulous, and make me feel like a master tea blender myself. Yum!

I loved and love all of my FMF Shorty pipes for 2-strokes But liberal California requires spark arrestors to ride legally My RM 125 1995 Has no current applications, being so old, but this fit the bill. I'm just a bit disappointed in FMF they couldn't say one way or another if this would fit. Shame. All I did to retrofit, was cut offf original Shorty pipe amd install new silencer/spark arrestor. Voila, Cali legal

I paired the PowerBomb with a PowerCore 4 and am super impressed. Incredibly easy install and really opened the bike up.
Kevin (Florence )
Had to tap it in with a mallot slightly as its a tight fit in my FMF Factory 4 pipe. Take in mind that if your state has a strict noise ordinance, this does not muffle below the 94db threshold. It is, however, USFS approved and is very reasonably priced. I see some out there in excess of 100 bucks... LOL id cut a screen myself before I'd pay that. Overall it gets the job done at a very reasonable price through motorcycle superstore.

Great pipe !

Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

McCOOK, Nebraska -- The McCook City Council narrowly decided to stay with the idea of seeking federal funds to help pay for the demolition of the West Ward School building, at Monday evening's town hall meeting at Heritage Senior Center.
The vote was split 3-2, with council members Aaron Kircher and Lonnie Anderson against the use of grant funds, citing concerns that the use of the funds required an additional $20,000 historical survey be completed. The survey expense would be non-refundable and could simply add the to overall expense of the demolition if grant funding, which is not guaranteed, was not awarded.
Council members and city staff also presented plans for the proposed municipal facility that voters will consider in the November election. Several citizens spoke to the council regarding the project.
"I applaud the city and employees for their input, time and everyone active in trying to present this, said Kathleen Bills of McCook. "I have a personal conflict with it. I would like to see something outside of town."
She expressed concerns about neighborhoods being disturbed and the impact on taxpayers on the street. She also went on to say she was uncertain having all three entities in one location was the best idea, concerned that a child abuser would be brought to an environment where someone is paying their water bill.
Fire Chief Marc Harpham responded to Bills by explaining the current response time of the emergency services would be negatively impacted by a facility located outside of town. Explaining that the McCook response time had recently received a level four of 10 rating, improved from a six rating, Harpham said this rating improvement could have a positive impact by lessening insurance requirements on homeowners.
The chief also noted that the rating was not finalized yet and one of the factors it included was having all emergency equipment under one roof, a task that can only be accomplished in the proposed municipal facility.
Police Chief Isaac Brown added to the explanation by saying one of the benefits of this design was the vastly improved ability of the police department to have separate and even private entrances to bring victims and offenders into the facility from.
Wayne Michaelis inquired as to whether the monthly expense of operating the facility had been estimated, and compared to the current facility, and was concerned about potential revenue losses involved with the jail and dispatch. Brown explained that there can be only one 911 dispatch center for the county and the cost to the county to establish a second dispatch center would far outweigh any benefit.
"The jail costs us more to operate than any revenue we get for it," said Brown.
Council member Mike Gonzales said he had experience with a similar scenario regarding the monthly utility expense comparisons.
"We went through a similar process with the school district, We had three facilities with old furnaces, etc." Gonzales went on to explain that is difficult to put numbers to, but with the new facility having more energy efficient walls and a newer furnace, you should at least be comfortable with seeing monthly expenses no worse than current.
Several other citizens expressed their desire to prevent the demolition of West Ward. Gene Morris asked council to consider holding off on the demolition project until after the November Municipal Facilities vote.
Dale Cotton cited the previous denial of federal funds by the Nebraska Historical Society for the demolition project, prompting Mayor Dennis Berry to explain that the denial was prior to the historical society visiting the site and reviewing the engineer plans. "Since then they have been out and agreed it was not worth renovating that building," said Berry.
The City Council will seek voter approval in November to build the Municipal Facility to house Fire, Police and City administration. The second of three town hall meetings will be hosted by City council Oct. 14, 7 p.m., at the Heritage Senior Center.

Was Jaws? Criticism of Josh Freeman Accurate?
ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski recently ranked Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman as the 21st-ranked quarterback in the NFL.
Jaws called Freeman an "enigma" and described him as a "frustrating player to evaluate." Jaws also said he feels Freeman "should be a better quarterback after 56 NFL starts."
While I certainly think there's room for improvement in Freeman's game, Jaworski merely scratched the surface in evaluating No. 5.
I talked about Jaws' comments with Joey Qatao and Mike Corcoran on Sports Talk 1040's "In The Game" on Sunday and wanted to share those with you.
I think Jaws made some good points, but failed?to?illustrate the entire picture, which in this case is Freeman's?lack of?coaching continuity.?Expecting a young?quarterback to develop and thrive under?the types of?circumstances he's been thrown into?is the REAL "enigma" here.??(Cue "Return to Innocence"...and yes, I did just make a reference to Pure Moods).
I also talk about the Buccaneer defense and which players need to step up to help the Bucs become a playoff-caliber team, as well as which rookies will make the biggest impact.
Qatato and I even have some early predictions about how the season will unfold.
After you listening to the audio, tell me what you think. I want to hear from you.
Was Jaws' assessment of Freeman correct? Where would you rank him among the NFL's 32 starting quarterbacks? What about the defense??Who on defense does the success of 2013 ride on?
Hit me up on Twitter @JennaLaineBucs or Facebook?and let me know what you think.

text: i think this is a half ass game for quick bucks. i would be interested if it took everything a step further and did something like have each character have different methods of playing. for example in a dash sonic stays at the start line and charges up his speed (the player taps a button then releases when they choose but must know when to release or he'll go short). orrr mario can do a double jump that can go over 2 hurdles at once. things that make it more interesting but dont give real advantages to each character at the same time.

2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
My bi-yearly self-indulgent post on my fantasy draft. Mock away...
You probably know the drill by now, but a reminder; it's a Yahoo points league with 9 offensive players (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, CF, RF, Util) and 9 pitchers (4 SP, 3 RP, 2 Util) with 7 bench spots. Points are rigged in a way that stolen bases aren't nearly as valuable as roto leagues, i.e like real baseball. It counts as an extra base and if you get caught stealing it counts against the player. If it leads to more runs scored then that will show in the runs scored points. In other words, most of your fantasy guides aren't much use for the speedsters that get valued for their stolen bases. Middle infielders get a small defensive boost to put them closer to their corner position comrades. It's a 15-team league and we keep 6 keepers a year and draft those keepers in the appropriate round determined by their point value the year before. So a Miguel Cabrera is a first round pick and a Josh Johnson is a 25th round pick because of his injuries last year. My keeper options were Cliff Lee, Tim Lincecum, Albert Pujols, Starlin Castro, Evan Longoria, Matt Garza, Paul Goldschmidt, Brett Lawrie and Mike Trout. I picked Lee, Lincecum, Pujols, Castro, Longoria and Lawrie. Then me and JD, whom you may know from the comments, pulled off a Jason Heyward for Brett Lawrie swap right before the draft. I picked 11th or 5th in each round, snake-style.
To my super-important draft...
- Cliff Lee (Keeper) - duh
- Tim Lincecum (Keeper) - duh
- Albert Pujols (Keeper) - duh, although he's getting near the age where I wouldn't mind moving him to get younger. Oh no, I gave away my strategy, what am I to do?
- Rickie Weeks - my first pick and it was the 11th overall in the draft when discounting other folks' keepers. I was thrilled at this. (2 players drafted before and after my pick not counting keepers: B. Gardner, J. Papelbon/M. Latos, A. Ethier)
- Starlin Castro (Keeper) - too young to give up and better things to come hopefully
- Evan Longoria (Keeper) - down year last year and hopefully he's over his injuries
- Miguel Montero - probably should have waited for a catcher later, but he was the last decent bat at that position besides Soto and I'm not convinced which Soto we're getting this year. (Melky Cabrera, S. Santos/F. Freeman, M. Scherzer)
- Y. Cespedes - potential power bat in center field, worth a shot, was hoping for J. Valverde but got nabbed just before. (Valverde, F. Cordero/B. Morrow, S. Marcum)
- J. Nathan - closers were already going including H. Street that I desperately wanted (Street, A. Sanchez/Maybin, Markakis)
- K. Farnsworth - must have closers although I was eyeing E. Santana (J. Santana, Bonifacio/E. Santana, J. Garcia)
- J. Willingham - Besides the utility spot, left field was the last position spot I needed and at least there is some power there with Willingham. Ultimately I seem to always have terrible luck at that position. (J. Guerra, C. Perez/G. Soto, F. Francisco)
- J. Broxton - well there's upside there if he gets the closer job (A. Lind, T. Lilly/F. Rodriguez, H. Kuroda)
- M. Thornton - him and Capps were the last 2 closers left. Was looking at Kendry Morales to stash on the DL. (I. Desmond, B. Boesch/J. Kubel, K. Morales)
- J. Danks - looking for starting pitching with some upside and Danks had a string of bad luck to start the year including a BABIP on the season that was well above his career norms. (D. Espinosa, D. Holland/V. Pestano, D. Murphy)
- C. Volstad - homer pick, hoping this is the year he catches up to his once-upon-a-time prospect status (Iannetta, Doumit/S. Baker, A. Escobar)
- R. Nolasco - Another BABIP victim last year, although the new park might hurt him. (Jurrjens, Altuve/Aviles, J. Lowrie)
- C. Headley - Could use a back-up for Longoria since I traded Lawrie away and he's young enough to possibly break out a bit. An early drop candidate if I need a roster spot. (L. Duda, Scutaro/L. Lynn, C. Pena)
- B. McCarthy - I can't imagine he'll do as well as last year, but worth a risk this late. And I like his Twitter feed. I did pass up on Cozart here hoping he'd last another round or two. (F. Liriano, K. Wood/J.D. Martinez, Cozart)
- A. Soriano - spring training stats count, right? Between him and Willingham maybe I can ride out the hot streaks. (Ogando, P. Coke/Quentin, Ruiz)
- J. Mayberry - wanted a right fielder just in case JD balked on me and Mayberry's 4-position eligibility should be useful (M. Brantley, Vlad/Lidge, O' Flaherty)
- E. Bedard - he's the Pirates #1, he must be good. See how he does in the N.L. and a lefty-friendly park. (L. Cain, Lucroy/Revere, Viciedo)
- Rex Brothers - we do get credit for holds and Betancourt's tagged as a possible quick hook to lose his closing job. You always want 5 relievers in our league as well, since you rarely have that many of your starters going on the same day. (G. Floyd, J. Smoak/L. Perez, M. Harrison)
- G. Sizemore - stash him on the disabled list and pick up someone on waivers. (Infante, Gorzelanny/Dickey, C. Davis)
- Brett Jackson - homer pick, first to get waived if I need room. Hope that I can stash him though until he gets called up to replace losing Mike Trout...at least in my heart if not in the points. (Rizzo, Reimold/Thole, I. Stewart)
- Brett Lawrie (Keeper)
I was pretty thrilled with my keepers going in, so I was going to be happy with my team regardless and flipping Lawrie for Heyward hopefully netted me another long-term keeper option while filling a position of need. Past my 2 horses, starting pitching tends to be more about wise waiver manuevering and good old fashioned luck when it comes to the mid-tier guys so we'll see how that pans out. I think my offense is pretty damn solid though with the outfield being the question mark, but there's upside there.
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
I love those keepers too!
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
I like Danks.
But I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will be Soriano's worst offensive year evah.
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
So you guys can pick what round you draft keepers? How does that work? Or am I missing something?
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
All players are ranked by the total points they scored last year. Keepers are then slotted in where the rank point wise.
So if Tito Dawson scored the 150th most points last year, he would be drafted as a keeper in the 10th round (15 team league).
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
it's kinda hard to determine value based on the points..."top" points are position guided...top tier C usually give 400+ points, a good 1st or OF can give 500-700 points...top pitching 600-900 points...
plus, the FA talent at draft time that's non-keeper gets sketchy past round 2-3...and anything after the first few picks of round 1 wouldn't even qualify as a "true" 1st round pick in an open "all-players" draft. all of the solid players (aside from closers) are pretty much off the board by round 8-10.
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
I took Ryan Madson in round 6. Pure genius.
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
I think this is your year!
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
I'm back in the US, though that is still a possibility due to my extreme nationalism.

Apparently it was leaked by Carpenter's own tweet. Elbow surgery for spurs by Dr. Andrews in Birmingham, AL
He's only thrown 2 IP this spring.

HAHAHA, awesome.

Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
So Chris Carpenter may indeed be the PTBNL in his own trade (the double-PTBNL giving the Red Sox the right of return if Carpenter wasn't the pitcher they hoped he would be).
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
The comments make for a fun read. Sox fans sure do hate Theo for, um, not sure, I guess, leaving?
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft

"Stayin positive and prepared to work harder than ever to come back as soon as I can this season!"
Re: 2012 Yahoo Fantasy Draft
Nick Caffardo:
"The bones spurs are terrible and certainly cannot help the Red Sox organization...we are therefore expecting significant compensation in exchange for them."
