In 2010, the most recent annual data we have from HUD, there were nearly 170,000 homeless households with children in the nation. We know that a large number of those households are headed by young parents. In fact, the Alliance estimates that over 25 percent of homeless families are headed by a young adult under the age of 25—that's approximately 50,000 to 60,000 families a year.
Because these families are accessing the homeless services through the adult family system, their needs as developing young adults may not necessarily be noticed or attended to and there may be some solutions to their homelessness that are being overlooked.

Today's post was written by Christian Brandt, Federal Policy Intern for the Alliance.
Last Wednesday I had the privilege of sitting in on a meeting for the Research Council, a group comprised of prominent researchers in the areas of homelessness and housing from around the country. The Council meets to gather and share their new information and recent research activities, propose new research to fill existing gaps, and guide the agenda of the Homelessness Research Institute, the research division of the Alliance. At the end of most meetings some kind of research agenda is prepared from the meeting's conversation. This time the Council was visited by several researchers from HUD who were able to listen and respond to the suggestions that the researchers made. Besides being among greats within the homelessness and housing sphere, it was really cool to be able to see how the Alliance sets its research agenda and interacts with agencies like HUD.
The following are remarks from the Alliance's President and CEO, Nan Roman, regarding the U.S. Department of of Health and Human Services' new framework to advance the goal of ending youth homelessness by 2020, as announced at a live webcast of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness meeting.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness applauds the commitment of Chairman Sebelius and the members of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) to end youth homelessness by 2020. For far too long the plight of unaccompanied children and young adults has gone unaddressed. Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness brought much needed attention to this particularly vulnerable population. The USICH Proposed Framework for Ending Youth Homelessness is an important next step in laying out what the Federal government will do to achieve this goal.
The Alliance concurs with the major focus areas in the Framework: sizing the population; identifying the key segments of the population; identifying solutions for each segment; and going to scale with the solutions for each segment. We also support the outcomes of housing, connection, wellbeing, and education/employment.
Earlier this year the Alliance made a preliminary effort, using existing data, to estimate the size and segments of the population and examined this information for implications to policy and practice. Based on this framework as well as the USICH Framework presented today, the Alliance offers the following thoughts for the future.
Today, June 12, at 1:30 p.m. ET, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USHICH) meeting, chaired by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, will be streamed live online. Today's meeting will feature a presentation by the U.S. Department of of Health and Human Services (HHS that will announce a new framework to advance the goal of ending youth homelessness by 2020.
Many recommended best policies and practices have been developed for housing and serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. How many check marks would your organization earn for implementing the following policies and practices to increase LGBTQ youth's potential for increased success?
As regular readers of this blog know, we write fairly often about federal homelessness appropriations – what's happening, how you can get involved, and what various proposals would mean for your daily work on the ground to prevent and end homelessness. But we haven't written about appropriations (the federal funding process) in several weeks, so you may be wondering: what's the latest news?
The House and Senate are both busy working on their fiscal year (FY) 2013 funding bills. We have been tracking three particular bills very closely, so read on for more information on each of those funding measures!
On May 10, 2012, I had the pleasure of spending the entire day with Cyndi Lauper lobbying on behalf of LGBTQ youth that experience homelessness. Along with Gregory Lewis, Executive Director of Cyndi's foundation, the True Colors Fund, the Center for American Progress and the Human Rights Campaign we spent the morning briefing Cyndi on how to lobby members of Congress.
Today's guest blog is from Maddison Bruer, who we will be hearing from periodically on our blog this summer as she updates us on her work with Bridges of Norman.
Hello everybody! My name is Maddison Bruer and I've been given the opportunity this summer to share a little bit about myself and a project I am working on this summer with you on the Alliance's blog.
First, a bit about myself: I am finishing up my first year at The George Washington University studying International Affairs and Psychology. Home for me is Norman, Oklahoma. When I was in first grade my class had "career day" where every first grader wrote a story about what he or she wanted to be when they were all grown up. I said police officer. Those dreams of serving in the public sector have followed me into my adulthood as I take steps to one day work for the CIA or State Department. If I fail at said aspirations, I've vowed that I will move to Miami and join the police academy. I love the heat anyway. Right now, I'm living part of my dream by interning for the Peace Corps and working with a committee to revamp the Volunteer application and delivery system. After months of living and breathing Peace Corps, I'm realizing the vast opportunities that could come from continuing that relationship as a Volunteer myself, after college of course.
In February, at the first ever National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness, the Alliance introduced a brand new framework for ending youth homelessness. Springboarding off the introduction of that framework, the Alliance is featuring a wide variety of content at the upcoming National Conference on Ending Homelessness to be held July 16-18 in Washington, DC.
Do you know the number of homeless youth in your county or city? Communities across the nation have been conducting targeted youth counts, which the Alliance has gathered and placed on its new Youth Count media map and webpage to answer that question. The map will show you which communities have conducted counts, their results and a brief synopsis of the methodology used. Also, you'll find a link to the full report to read in its entirety. We hope that this map will encourage your community to conduct a targeted youth count that can be used to inform policy and the scaling of interventions.
We also want to provide resources to communities to help them to either improve their counts or to conduct initial counts of homeless youth. Therefore, you will find resources on our new webpage such as webinars, briefs and a toolkit about counting youth.
There's a lot more that needs to be done to be able to solve the issue of youth homelessness. What can you do? What can you encourage others to do?
Today's blog comes from Jennifer Ho, Deputy Director at the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. She writes today about USICH's initiative to update the Federal Strategic Plan to include further content on youth experiencing homelessness and educational outcomes of homeless or at-risk youth.
Almost two years have passed since we launched Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. With the help and support from thousands of stakeholders across the United States we have made progress against the bold goals of the Plan by increasing investment in solutions, adopting proven tools to prevent and end homelessness, breaking down silos, and improving data collection, analysis, and reporting. We remain committed to the goals of Opening Doors and to the comprehensive approach described in the Plan.
For this year's update to Opening Doors, we are responding to requests that additional content and clarity would be helpful in two key areas: early childhood learning and educational outcomes for youth and children experiencing homelessness; and broad strategies on unaccompanied youth up through age 24.
Today's guest post comes to us from Shahera Hyatt.
I would first like to start off by thanking the Alliance for explicitly including youth in this year's conference on ending homelessness. For those of us who work day in and out on this issue, it was great to be with others to share our knowledge, experience, and passion for this work.
There were a few themes over the course of the conference regarding youth homelessness, with the first being the need for more timely and consistent data on this population. Not only was there a workshop on this topic, but Nan Roman gave considerable time to the issue in her plenary speech on the first day of the conference. She stated that even though the current data on the size and scope of youth homelessness is severely lacking (and I whole-heartedly agree), moving forward with the data we've got is absolutely critical.
Continuing our series on homeless youth, today we are going to take a look at the primary federal programs that currently serve this vulnerable population.
The only federal program that is exclusively focused on homeless youth is the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. The RHYA program is made up of three components:
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, passed in 1987, provided children without a "fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence" some stability in the form of school.
Thanks to McKinney-Vento, children have the right to stay in their school of origin, despite the upheaval of homelessness. This means that even if kids have to move out of their original school district (because, for example, assistance is not available in that original district), students experiencing homelessness are able to continue attending their school. Because research has shown that students perform better when their school environment is stable, McKinney-Vento requires that school districts must provide transportation for the homeless student to the school of origin.
Our Friday news Roundup is broken down today by some of the issue areas the Alliance works on:
Today's guest post comes to us from Alliance intern Rricha Mathur.
On June 17, I attended the Voices of Youth briefing held at the Capitol. A group of student panelists, who were and continue to be affected by homelessness, lead a stimulating conversation in which they shared their stories of homelessness, perseverance, and triumph. Currently, each speaker is enrolled in a university program. Their stories underlined that there is a lot Congress can do to help them and the millions of other youth affected by homelessness.
The unavoidable story of the week was the Washington Post series on the HUD HOME Program. We wrote about it earlier this week and pointed to some organizations that refuted the article's accusations (including a blogpost directly from HUD). Other organizations have come out to respond to the article but we want to know your response: what do you think of this series and what it says about the housing program?
We want to know if your community counted homeless youth* in the annual point-in-time count this year.
Take our survey and let us know!
Tomorrow, the Congressional Caucus on Homelessness is holding a briefing on "Homeless Children, Youth, and Families."
During the briefing, panelists will discuss the profound impact that homelessness wields on children and youth, as well as their parents. In addition to the loss of safe, stable housing, homelessness can cause a sense of displacement, trauma, and stress. This can corrupt positive child development, health, and school participation and create life-long costs to children and parents.
This week the news media has focused on the essentials of our field: housing, data, populations, and public policy.
Let's start right in the District. In her column, Michelle Singletary cited our own report to discuss people spending more than 50 percent of their monthly income on rent – what is called a "severe housing cost burden" – a situation that can put people at risk of homelessness.

Russian Media Hails Spammer's Murder
"Russia's most (in)famous spammer, Vardan Kushnir, 35, was dead in his apartment in downtown Moscow on Monday, July 25. Someone repeatedly smashed his head with a heavy object, authorities say, and then ransacked his entire apartment. The authorities have obviously got no clue as to who that someone might have been.
And, as a matter of fact, they don't seem to really care: every day between 10 and 20 people meet a violent death in Russia's capital, and a significant part of those crimes remains unsolved (Russia's Interior Ministry reports 1,935 unsolved murders, 73,000 burglaries and 11,400 robberies between January and May in this year alone). There is no reason for Moscow's law enforcement officials to give Kushnir's case any special treatment, so they most probably won't. But the Moscow-based media is awash with comments and speculations, expounding one simple, albeit largely irrational, theory: someone (ranging from God almighty to an irate IT office worker) finally punished Vardan Kushnir for his seemingly unstoppable spamming activities."
I'm an IT manager on the side, but I wouldn't put myself in the "God" category.....but spam does make me mad enough to......

On Thursday, March 24, Beyond Extreme Energy held an action outside the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to protest their approval of tree-cutting for pipeline projects that have not received all of the necessary permits. The action, called "Pancakes Not Pipelines," focused on the Holleran family's maple syrup farm in Pennsylvania.
The Holleran's have owned their farm since the 1950's. Their land was taken from them by Williams using eminent domain for a pipeline that extends into New York. The project has not received all of its permits, but Williams, eager to start construction, gained approval to start cutting trees. The Hollerans tried to stop the cutting, but Williams persevered, eventually bringing armed federal marshals to threaten the family and supporters while hundreds of trees were toppled. Megan Holleran brought the last of the family's maple syrup to the action at FERC.
Josh Fox, producer of Gas Land, and climate activist Tim DeChristopher cooked pancakes using a solar-powered stove. They and others from front line communities that are fighting pipelines, compressor stations and fracking asked FERC employees to join them for a pancake lunch so they could explain how FERC's decisions hurt families, but nobody would come out. In frustration, Holleran, Fox, DeChristopher and four others sat in and were arrested.
I have been an active member of Beyond Extreme Energy since November, 2014. Our actions have exposed that FERC is fully funded by the oil, gas and nuclear industries that it is supposed to regulate. In reality, the FERC is a rubber stamp for the industries and does not consider the health and safety of communities or climate change in its permitting process. This is why a dangerous gas refinery and export terminal were approved in Southern Maryland. Visit WeAreCovePoint.org to learn more about that.
The FERC needs to become accountable to the communities it impacts. And it needs to be part of the solution instead of adding to the climate crisis. Each oil or gas project locks in decades of more fossil fuel extraction and burning when scientists tell us that we don't have decades to reduce our carbon footprint. The climate crisis is here.
As your senator, I will push for the FERC and Department of Energy to work towards a rapid and just transition to clean and sustainable sources of energy such as wind, solar and geothermal by 2030. I will demand that the health and safety of communities are protected. They will not be sacrifice zones for corporate profit. You can learn more about the current science regarding the climate crisis and what we can do about it on our upcoming episode of Clearing the FOG radio on March 28 at 11 am. The next BXE mobilization at FERC will be May 15 to 22. I will be there and I hope that you will too.

Discuss in the forums
How in the world am I to update my camera raw. Running update wthin CS6 just updated and installed the DNG converter. My raw files were not upgraded, still says 7.3 beta. So I downloaded the DNG converter and ran it and also did not upgrade my raw. How can I download just the raw update like i used to be able to do.
What operating system are you running? I had no trouble updating to ACR 7.3 from within Photoshop CS on my Windows 7 computer.
Adobe DNG converter is a different program; that does not run within Photoshop CS6.
That did it grahamdyke. Thank you.
Did anyone else spend 45 minutes downloading a humongous "Adobe Extractor" file that doesn't open -- or do anything?
Right click the file, select properties and then click the Unblock button and it will run ok.
Tethering with the 5D3 still seems to have issues. When you switch the camera off and back on, LR doesn't continue to tether properly.
The camera is still shown to be connected but images are not imported and the remote triggering doesn't function.
Only way around this is to restart LR - which is not very useful.
Anyone else tried this? (I'm on Mac, Snow Leopard)
The Clone/Heal tool is still unusable in Lightroom 4.3, no change there!!!
That stupid circle, why a circle?
Once you place the heal/clone circle eventually the copy circle appears, about 30 secs later after much thrashing. The heal/clone circle then takes another 30 secs to update, then I want to move it, aw just forget it, I haven't got the time, life is too short, I've almost lost the will to live!
This is on a Core 2 Quad (4 x 2.4Ghz) CPU PC with 4GB memory and the caching correctly set up on a 2TB 6GB/s media HDD.
Why on earth did Adobe implement this ridiculus solution for Lightroom, when they already had a perfectly good Heal/Clone tool solution in Elements editor, one that you can actually paint with. They could have just ported it straight over!!!
Another Lightroom rant: Why is there still no Perspective/Distortion tool to go with the Crop tool so that architecture images can be corrected???
I'd say that Lightroom is NOT a stand alone editing solution, you are always going to need another editor in order to complete the job.
In fact I think I may just go back to Elements Editor, I still use Elements Organiser anyway, as it's hierarchical image organisation is far superior to Lightroom's flat file approach.
Adobe should have just put the few good bits there are in Lightroom straight into the Elements Editor and be done with it, no need for yet another product.
We've all been conned!!!
There are two major problems with your post. One is that you're trying to do work on a 4GB RAM machine. You're holding back all the rest of the system specs you quoted, by starving them of RAM. You should have at least 8GB RAM to prevent thrashing with any serious photo app, not just Lightroom. The thrashing is probably because the system is forced to use virtual memory because you don't have enough RAM.
Second, there IS a perspective distortion tool in Lightroom. It isn't with the Crop tool because the Crop tool is the wrong place for it. I know perspective was a feature of the Crop tool in Photoshop, but it could never correct lens or barrel distortion.
The perspective/distortion is in the right place in Lightroom: In a powerful Lens Correction panel with the other distortion removal features. They did the same thing in Photoshop (the powerful Lens Correction feature separate from the Crop tool) and it was the right thing to do. The Crop tool is only for cropping.
No you have misunderstood about the perspective correction. I know ther is a wonderfull lens distortion panel in Lightroom, this can not be used to corect an image for architectural perspective, unlike the tools availible in Elements Editor.
The PC is running 32bit Vista and so is limited to 4GB of RAM, 8GB is not an optiion, without moving to 64bit OS and this will clobber many other applications that I use, requiring them to be updated, more cost.
All the equivalent Clone/Heal tools work just fine in Elements Editor with no lag and for me their implimentation is far superior to those in Lightroom.
Have you tried both?
The next time you are in the Lens Correction panel, try clicking Manual, look at the Horizontal and Vertical sliders and see if they can't correct keystone perspective corrections (what you refer to as "architectural" perspective).
The reason there is no lag in the clone/heal tools in Elements is that they are operating on rendered RGB pixels, not raw data. Naturally, it's faster.
Overall, if the tools work better for you in Elements and better for your hardware, you should be using Elements. Lightroom is made for the current state of professional raw editing. No offense intended, but a 4GB RAM, 32-bit computer today is not current for this purpose.
grahamdyke for what it is worth: I just upgraded my machine to 64Bit windows, and added an additional 8GB RAM, and then installed the latest Lightroom 64bit (didn't have to pay anything extra to get the latest version). The differences in speed and stability were amazing and totally worth it.. More than half of my software I could get 64bit version free (the 32bit license i paid for works for 64bit as well), and the other half the 32bit worked just fine on 64bit windows. So net net.. only paid for RAM.
Thanks graybalanced and boramz, I will take a look at your suggestions and maybe make some changes :-)
Like far too many Adobe updates, this ACR update caused a little bit of mayhem at my place. For some bizarre reason my installation of Photoshop CS6 transmogrified into a trial version of Photoshop CS6 Extended.
This was especially surprising because I run a completely 'clean' system with nothing but the most trusted software installed in default locations. I didn't even run a trial of Photoshop CS6 on this system before purchasing it (outright, by the way; none of that Creative Cloud business here). I have never expressed any interest whatsoever in Photoshop CS6 Extended.
I eventually resolved this by reentering my serial number, which thankfully I had on hand. More info here for anyone in the same predicament: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4919570
I installed (on my macbook retina) the 4.3 update as well as the camera raw 7.3 update. Now I can't see my VSCO camera profiles any longer from within Lightroom Camera Calibration tab where they used to be. The profiles are gone even though they are still present on my HD same place as before. (Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles) They are still physically there but LR can't "see" them after the 4.3 update.
Can anyone help me out?
My Library was hidden. Macintosh HD/users/username/Library was hidden. So I did this:
From OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.7 Lion, the /Library and ~/Library are hidden from the Finder – to show these directories in the GUI, launch Terminal from Applications/Utilities and run the command below with sudo and enter your admin password when requested:
sudo chflags nohidden /Library/ ~/Library/
Now I went to Macintosh HD/users/username/LibraryApplication Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles and pasted the VSCO camera profiles into that folder. Restarted LR and voila: everything back in order. :-)
Hope it helps.
RAW issues are usually easy to work around. We would certainly benefit from DNG being standardized, but that just isn't going to happen. I'd like Lightroom to at least support the PNG format just so that I can catalog web images and screenshots along with my other photos.
Sony NEX-6 raw files are also supported, it seems.
The Lightroom 4.3 update won't install for me on a Windows Vista machine but installs okay on a Windows 7 machine. Anyone else having this problem? There are a few instances of the same problem reported in Adobe forums.
Just discovered that the problem is related to downloading the update with Firefox. If you download using Internet Explorer, the update works fine under Vista.
I had the same problem, but it was just a security issue. Vista had blocked the file because it was a downloaded executable from an untrusted source. I had to right-click the downloaded file and select properties. Then at the bottom of the "General" tab, I had to click "unblock". After that, it ran OK.
manual update for ACR (Win) = http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/7.3.37/Setup.zip
for mac = http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/mac/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/7.3.37/Setup.dmg
Thank you so much for that link!!!
All this anger towards Lightroom in these posts... lol.
1. Yeah surprised Fuji xpro is not better supported too.
2. Sigma support, well i probably agree with you, but i bet it comes down to priority. They probably had more urgant things to work on for the release. I would ask Sigma why they don't support DNG.
3. As far as "Wasting resources" between the various raw solutions. Variety is a good thing! :).. and besides adobe came out with DNG format! which unifies the cameara formats, so if anything i would blame the camera companies that are not supporting that. I mean common, how many raw formats do they have to support?
4. As far as no Offline update for ACR. I have to ask why does your office have no internet connecion? Personally i think it's obserd (or even childish) to block or prevent net access in an office building. People should be treated as resonsible adults, not children. Net access in the office is an assest anyway.
I tried the latest Photoshop update (13.0.2) on my Retina MacBook Pro. The HiDPI display is a welcome enhancement. But, from what I've seen so far, the image rendering in ACR 7.3 does not support HiDPI. When the RMBP screen is set to "Best for Retina", Photoshop uses all 2880x1800 pixels. ACR is still scaling images to a 1440x900 grid.
The easiest way to see this is to view an image at 100% in ACR, and then at 100% in PS. Objects will draw 2x larger in ACR.
I hope they fix this in a future update. I like to do careful capture sharpening in ACR, and then import to PS for more tweaking. I would like to have the same scaling and rendering in both stages.
Tested and no improvements to the Fuji X RAW files, foliage still looks painted
What ISO are you shooting?
My indoor/shadow ISO 5000 X E1 raws, extracted in ACR 7.3 from within Photoshop CS6, look extraordinary. A good bit better than similar shots taken with a Canon 6D at ISO 5000 and also extracted with ACR 7.3.
I find it truly amazing that Adobe still insists on NOT supporting current Foveon technology. Sigma maintains that it has made the all necessary information available - Adobe (for reasons best know to themselves) simply refuses to take it on board. Why? There is a tremendous rise in the number of people taking up the use of Sigma cameras like the DP2M and DP1M - and there would probably be a higher uptake of SD1M users if Adobe took up the challenge. What's stopping them?
Maybe because only 4 people worldwide bought an SD1.....and another 20 bought the DP2
It isn't just Foveon. Hasselblad multi-shot uninterpolated images are completely not supported.
They view RAW processing as only applying to demosaicing bayer CFA images. They need to make the system more robust to handle Fuji's more complex layouts (they currently accept the files but handle them poorly) and Foveon and Hasselblad's uninterpolated layouts.
Sigma could also improve things by allowing the camera to shoot uncompressed 16bit TIFF files or DNGs.
I guess you can't help being almost totally ignorant, Clint. Ask around - look around - the cure is out there. Maybe one day you'll find it. I wish you good luck.
@Sigmachrome - Ahh don't take things so seriously life is too short....come on, it WAS funny!!
Really what I said was true though...if Sigma had sold the cameras in question in any great numbers than Adobe would likely have invested in the converter for them.
Given that within one week we have had three major vendors release big patches to support new raw camera formats, is it not time for Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, DXO, etc to get together and work on a collaborative way of doing this? What a waste of resources.
Stupid, yes!
But none of them are making money off the way things are today, instead they are diverting resources away from adding features and improving their product to instead add support for various raw formats. Maybe two or three of these groups could get together and create a project to support the various cameras together rather than duplicating efforts.
Gothmoth...your Leica only lost 10-15%...really??? An M9 a year ago sold new for $7000 plus tax. The day the M10 was announced people were selling used M9's for $4000.
The lenses on the other hand....yes, they actually work out to be an investment which is why I will never sell my Leica glass.
and no offline update for ACR..... i hate adobe.
they do everthing to make your life harder.
we have company PC´s who are not allowed to connect to the internet.. how can i update ACR on them without an offline installer.
i hate adobe.....
Why don't you hate your company?
Why would he hate his company?
They obviously have a security zone model of some sort in place, <sarcasm>god forbid a company should protect its valuable data</sarcasm> (i.e. consider how many companies hold your private information)
So maybe you can answer the question yourself, why should he hate his company?
It already supported them, however that doesn't mean support hasn't been improved. Anyone with an X-Pro1 or X-E1 fancy giving the new version a roll and seeing if it's any better? I will if I get time this weekend.
I was one of the first adopters of the X-Pro1.
When raw support was added to LR4.1 and everyone was disappointed about the results I was one of the first who said:
Proper raw support for the X-Trans sensor will not show up until the next major version of Lightroom (5.0) and Camera RAW (8.0).
The X-Trans sensor requires a major re-design of Camera RAW. The current support is "as good as it gets" within the capabilities of the current versions.
So to everyone that cries on every minor update (point releases): YOU WON'T SEE AN IMPROVEMENT UNTIL LR5 / ACR8 - NO MATTER WHAT. So stop hoping (and crying because it is annoying tbh).

Heineken USA has issued a partial recall of several products across the country. A defect was discovered during a routine inspection in the 12-ounce bottles. The bottles contain batches of Carta Blanca and Dos Equis Ambar, which are available in six packs and 12 packs as well as "Beers of Mexico," and "Best of Mexico" variety packs.
The video below contains more information.
The affected bottles were produced by a third party supplier and the defect was detected through a quality inspection. There is a potential for small grains, or particles of glass, to detach from the inside of the bottle and fall into the beer.
Heineken USA said they believe the number of affected bottles is less than one per cent. As a result the company made the decision voluntarily and recalled certain batches of products as a precautionary measure.
So far there have not been any injuries reported and the possibility of an injury is very low. The small particles of glass in the bottle could pose a health risk. Make sure to share this.

I pulled my jet-black hair off my face and into a messy bun as the teacher handed out goggles and gloves. I put my goggles on over my normal glasses and pulled a face at Reza who stifled her laugh as Mr Brown looked directly at us.
'It's nice to see you are taking my class seriously Miss Morton.' I looked sheepishly down at the table but I could feel Jasper's body shaking as he stood behind me.
'Sorry sir.' I mumbled, trying not to join in with the rest of my group and laugh.
'Yes, well.' Mr Brown regained control of the situation by setting us all off on our experiment. I had no idea what we were doing, I was not the scientific type dispite my intellectual appearance. I let the others do the work and pretended to be contributing.
'So are you coming round my place later?' Jasper whispered in my ear as I was measuring chemicals into a beaker.
'Why do you have something special planned?' I smiled suggestively at him.
'Well the parents aren't around so I thought we could have a romantic night in. You, me, a soppy rom-com and a bowl of popcorn. What do you say?'
'I say-'
'Miss Morton! Watch what you are doing with that.' I looked down into the beaker and realised it was about to overflow with hydrochloric acid.
'Oh God!' I stopped pouring and started dithering, not knowing what to do. I couldn't pour it back in because it would go everywhere but I couldn't take it back to my table because it would spill knowing my clumsiness.
'Give that to me Roxanna, I'll sort it out.' Mr Brown took the bottle of acid from me and started to pour the excess back into the bottle from the beaker. He didn't spill a drop. 'There you go, you should have the right amount there.'
'Thanks sir.' I smiled gratefully and carefully carried the beaker back to our bench where Re was standing giggling. 'Not one word,' I warned. Re made a motion like she was zipping her lips closed.

All Product Details
"Passionate…exciting…eye-opening." —The Washington Post
Damon Pierce is a gifted California lawyer whose work is starting to seem soulless. Then, from out of nowhere, two life-altering events take place: First, Damons wife announces that shes leaving him. Next: A woman from his past reappears. Damon could never forget Marissa Brand Okari, his one-time great love. Now, shes in trouble…and Damon decides to do everything in his power to help her.
"COMPELLING AND CREDIBLE…guaranteed to rouse you to thought."—Richmond Times-Dispatch
Marissas husband, Bobby Okari, is a freedom fighter in a corrupt west African nation—one thats being torn apart by global lust for its vast supply of oil. One day, during a solar eclipse, Bobby leads a high-profile protest rally against an American oil company…only to see everyone in his home village massacred by government troops. Already an enemy of the countrys savage dictator, Bobby is promptly arrested. Now its up to Damon to take on Bobbys case and save him—and Marissa—from almost certain death. And risk his own life in process.
"This stellar legal thriller both informs and entertains…WILL CLING TO READERS LONG AFTER THE FINAL PAGE IS TURNED."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Passionate…exciting [and] eye-opening, page by page."—Washington Post
"Compelling and credible…guaranteed to rouse you to thought."—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"This stellar legal thriller both informs and entertains… Patterson has exerted all his considerable skill in creating a nightmare atmosphere that will cling to readers long after the last page is turned."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A satisfying fable that pits a hero who deeply believes in the rule of law against a violent, lawless regime that holds all the cards."—Kirkus Reviews
"Nearly flawless—by the time you realize how well Patterson is writing, you are already caught up in this novel."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Suspenseful—pervasive danger as real as the actual reality."—New York Daily News
"A terrific legal thriller populated by rich, well drawn characters [Patterson] magnificently brings to life. Not to be missed."—Providence Sunday Journal
"[A] compelling legal thriller, reminiscent of Exile. Patterson once again brings a timely, controversial subject—Americas dependence on foreign oil—to the forefront in this…engrossing read." —Library Journal
Damon Pierce's life has just reached a defining moment: a gifted California lawyer, he's being divorced by his wife and his work often seems soulless. Then he receives a frantic e-mail from Marissa Brand Okari--a woman he loved years ago--and decides to risk everything to respond to her plea for help.
Marissa's husband, Bobby Okari, is the charismatic leader of a freedom movement in the volatile west African nation of Luandia, which is being torn apart by the world's craving for its vast supply of oil. Bobby's outspoken opposition to the exploitation of his homeland by PetroGlobal--a giant American oil company with close ties to Luandia's brutal government--has enraged General Savior Karama, the country's autocratic ruler. After Bobby leads a protest rally during a full eclipse of the sun, everyone in his home village is massacred by government troops. And now Bobby has been arrested and charged with the murder of three PetroGlobal workers. Still drawn to Marissa, Pierce agrees to defend Bobby, hoping to save both Bobby and Marissa from almost certain death. But the lethal politics of Luandia may cost Pierce his life instead.
Culminating in a dramatic show trial and a desperate race against time, Eclipse combines a thrilling narrative with a vivid look at the human cost of the global lust for oil. Here is Richard North Patterson at his compelling best, confirming his place as our most provocative author of popular fiction.
RICHARD NORTH PATTERSON is the author of Exile, The Race, and thirteen other bestselling and critically acclaimed novels. Formerly a trial lawyer, he was the SEC liaison to the Watergate special prosecutor and has served on the boards of several Washington advocacy groups. He lives in San Francisco and on Marthas Vineyard with his wife, Dr. Nancy Clair.

First Period in discipline.
Self realization in a troubled world.
There is a man out there that I know, and there are some statistical chances that you know him too. As the story goes, you might think that I am here to tell you that I want him. His body, his mind, his smile, his jokes, and you might even think that my mind grind into a halt because I am limited to the brain that nature gave me, that me, being infatuated was just a natural response, some sort of physiological reflex, some sort of normalized response to him, some sort of mother nature trick toward the whole him. But this is not one of these stories.
No. This is not.
I am not even here to tell you that I knew what was going to happen. What was going to happen? That I got to know him. But maybe this is too soon for me to tell you that, and I should restrain myself from saying that I got to second base. What I can assure you is that my skin does not sparkle if it is hit by some rays of sunshine and that I am not a shape shifter either.
Just like your father, just like your mother, I am unequivocally human. But I guess this preliminary statement is going ahead of myself and that only you can decide.
I believe my story started in a place very far from the place you are now, in a country where humans do not kiss their children with their lips, but sniffle them with their nostrils. You can imagine it easily if you have seen animal documentaries on the Discovery Channel. In my motherland, parents show their affection to their offspring very much like wolves would do to their cubs. By gently putting their nose against the forehead of their daughters and their sons, my grandparents showed my mother and my father that you did not necessarily need to say anything to communicate something. Yes, I very much was raised in an indigenous country and as you can imagine, I did not know this at the time of my childhood.
Yes, I got to second base with "him" and at that particular moment, I thought that my intentions were clear. Unambiguous. I candidly thought that he knew I meant that I loved him, and that he knew I would guard him from any dark monsters hiding from any corner of this earth. Yes. This. Is. How. Stupid. I. Am. My nose got to scent the smell of his delicate forehead as he was checking his activity on vvv.oqns0fnmhyd.bnl and for a second or so (really it felt something like several minutes), my mind was like lifted from the ground and that all the possibilities in the world lead me to this unique event, me getting to second base. During this delicate moment, I thought that if there is a sentiment in the world that needs to be shared, it is this discrete moment in time where you know that you, as an individual, matter to someone else.
_What are you doing?
Like a child who got caught looking at vvv.detg.bnl for the first time, my only answer to his inquiry was "nothing". My emotion went from both end of the spectrum just by saying the "N" word. How stupid can you be to answer such question when not so long ago, the end of the Ottoman empire probably made my nostrils sniffling to his forehead possible? Because he, just like me, came from a land very far from where you are now. Unfortunately, his grandparents did not follow the wolves, his grandfather and his grandmother simply kissed their children with both lips on their cheeks' offspring.
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny rumors fly
And I know you hear...
First period was about to start. Mrs Stettenham was about to tell us why and how Belgium was about to take control of Central Africa and my cellphone died in the middle of babbling my angst on tw1tt3r about this unfortunate series of events. The screen became very much like the title of the song that I was listening to. A blank space.
But how could I possibly explain myself in 140 characters? How could I possibly seek validation to my feelings toward him ? There must be another way. My father once told me that commitment and discipline was everything.
Let's get some discipline.
And so here I am, desperately waiting for him to notice me and maybe reciprocate like the wolves do: by gently sneefing the forehead of their loved ones.

By DAN KARELL
Spanish side Valencia and Premier League title contender Tottenham have continued to show why they are a step ahead of the rest of the pack in the UEFA Europa League.
Valencia scored four first half goals on the way to a crushing 5-1 victory over St. Gallen to move into second place in the group, one point behind EPL side Swansea City. Valencia's 20-year-old Fede Cartabria scored a brace but it was all over by the time his second goal crossed the line in the 31st minute as Valencia held a three-goal advantage.
Tottenham once again displayed their tremendous defensive form with another clean sheet on Thursday as they topped Moldovan side FC Sheriff, 2-0. Defender Jan Vertonghen headed home Tottenham's first of the evening in the 12th minute before Jermain Defoe settled matters with a low strike on goal in the 75th minute.
Elsewhere in the Europa League, PAOK came back from two goals down to top Maccabi Haifa, 3-2, Fiorentina flew past Pandurii, 3-0, and Wigan came back late to earn a point in a 1-1 draw with Rubin Kazan.
Here are some more stories to start your Friday:
UEFA President Michel Platini has opened disciplinary proceedings on why the racism protocol wasn't followed during Manchester City's 2-1 victory on Wednesday in Moscow at Russian club CSKA Moscow.
During the match, Man City midfielder Yaya Touré is alleging that he was the subject of racist abuse from the CSKA fans, but when he told the referee, Ovidiu Hategan, about the alleged abuse, Hategan didn't stop the game to allow for a message over the PA system, breaking UEFA's protocol.
UEFA posted a message on their website saying "Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against PFC CSKA Moskva for racist behaviour of their fans (article 14 of the UEFA disciplinary regulations) and for setting off of fireworks (article 16) at last night's UEFA Champions League group stage match in Moscow against Manchester City FC.
The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body on 30 October."
In response to the alleged abuse that Touré received, the Ivory Coast international was quoted as saying that black players could boycott the 2018 World Cup in Russia if racism isn't dealt with by then.
Sepp Blatter latest quotes will surely ruffle the feathers of European and South American nations alike.
In the newest issue of FIFA's online magazine "FIFA Weekly", Blatter said that he would like to see more Asian and African nations in the World Cup at the expense of South America and Europe, who combine to hold more than half the overall places in the World Cup.
"From a purely sporting perspective, I would like to see globalization finally taken seriously, and the African and Asian national associations accorded the status they deserve at the Fifa World Cup,'' Blatter wrote, via The Telegraph in England. "It cannot be that the European and South American confederations lay claim to the majority of the berths at the World Cup (18 or 19 teams), because taken together they account for significantly fewer member associations (63) than Africa and Asia (100).
"Africa, the confederation with the most member associations (54), is woefully under-represented at the World Cup with just five places. As long as this remains the case, African sides may never win and intercontinental trophy, regardless of progress on the playing side. This flawed state of affairs must be rectified. At the end of the day, an equal chance for all is the paramount imperative of elite sport.''
How Blatter's comments are received is still too early to tell but he's likely to receive some harsh words from European and South American soccer officials who will argue that their presence at the World Cup makes it more exciting.
The brother of Giovani, Jonathan Dos Santos, has been ruled out for at least six months with a torn ACL suffered in Barcelona training. (REPORT)
Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara has returned to light training after his serious ankle injury early in the season. (REPORT)
Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed that the club will attempt to sign three players in January to improve their squad. (REPORT)
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been fined £8,000 by the FA for his "Improper Conduct" charge but won't be suspended for the Blues' next game against Manchester City on Sunday. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? Impressed with Valencia and Tottenham's performances? Do you see UEFA coming down hard on CSKA Moscow? Do you agree with Blatter's statement?
Share your thoughts below.
Brain Guy
Translation of Sepp-speak: "These two under-represented federations also provide lots and lots of votes for people like me and my cronies. I know how to count. Why wouldn't I curry favor with them? To be completely fair, the World Cup should resemble an expanded version of the Confederations Cup — say, four or six nations from each confederation, or perhaps weighting the number of slots according to the size of the confederation. That's globalization for you!"
It almost sounds like he will run again. I swear he said this was his last presidency sometime recently.
Blater is a sad excuse for a human being and a head of the most corrupt international organization in human history. This monster needs to go.
Since human history includes such organizations as the Catholic Church & the big bank of the U.S. financial industry, I'd say that your comment overstates the point a bit – but I can agree with the spirit of your thought.
I wonder if Mr. Blatter knows that he's a liar and a disgrace, or is he delusional enough to believe his own nonsense?
Blatter is Fing nuts. also, that sucks for JDS! he was just finally realizing he needs to leave Barca but with a torn ACL, he's going to have to wait.
How is Valencia "a step ahead of the rest of the pack in the UEFA Europa League" when they're not even first in their own group? In fact, there are 11 other teams with more points than Valencia in Europa right now. The teams actually leading the pack right now are Spurs, Fiorentina, and Frankfurt.
Also, I'm a Spurs fan, but let's lay off this "title contender" talk. Maybe on paper (and maybe not even then), but we've got a lot of gelling to do before we're quite in that category.
Also, Sheriff might want to have a word or two with you about being called a "Moldovan side"…
Also, Wigan didn't "[come] back late" – they scored in the first half… but hey, who cares about the details, right?
Finally, on a different note, if Blatter seriously wants to help Africa, he should do more to subsidize their WCQ process. Part of the reason they haven't earned more WC slots is because they rarely qualify their five best teams, which is because of their truncated qualifying process, which results in the absurd final round.
so…. blatter is arguing that allowing more lower quality african/asian teams will make it more likely that a team from those regions can win it all? I suppose thats technically possible, if the strong african/asian teams are drawn against the weak ones at the WC, but otherwise…. no.
This graphic shows how successful African and Asian nations have been at the past 5 World Cups: http://i.imgur.com/AS6oVnT.png
There's only been one African team in the Round of 16 each Cup, and 0-2 Asian teams. Mexico and the US combined have been as successful.

Ski Boots for sale Cheap
This morning, while cleaning out the attic, I ran across a pair of ski boots I had picked up for a song years ago at a yard sale. I blew the dust from them and reminisced over the last time I had worn them.
It was on a clear bright winter morning, when my son and I headed up into the high country. I didn't have any skis, but I had just bought these boots from an old lady, that I'm sure she didn't know what she had; they were that cheap. After a two hour drive we reached the summit, and easily found a parking space. That's probably because there were no trees growing this high. A brisk mile walk brought us to the lift-ticket booth. Out of breath, I gave the girl two hundred dollar bills, and got enough change back to buy a medium cuppochino. My son said, "Thanks dad," and that was the last I saw of him for the rest of the day.
I located the ski rental building and, carrying my used boots, I got in line. My first inkling of trouble came when a young man tried to adjust my boots to my skis. He eventually called over a grizzled old timer who asked me if I was sure I wanted to wear these boots. I told him, of course I do, or I wouldn't have brought them with me. He shook his shaggy gray head, mumbling that seen 'em kind since the '40's.
From there things didn't improve. I joined a beginner group, and the instructor was about my granddaughters age, only taller. She demonstrated how to stop, how to go fast, turn, schuss, and how to slalom. (I always thought slalom was a Jewish greeting.)
We all had to climb the Ho-Hum mountain, we did this sideways. Then, down we came. The first hour I spent so much time on my butt I thought I'd get frost bite.
One lady came schussing downhill backward, and in a vain attempt to halt her backward progress, and save my ears from her screams, I reach out and grabbed her arm. Boy, was that a mistake. Had I been wearing anything but those antique boots she would have pulled me out of them. Instead I whipped around her in a crack-the-whip motion, lost my grip of her and passed her in a blur.
I yelled and screamed, my arms and legs flailing the air, as I b-lined down the mountain, picking up speed as I went. At the bottom of the run was a waist-high fence rushing up to meet me. I hit the fence, flipped over it in a perfect somersault, and landed on my now broken skis. I think that was when I decided that skiing was not the sport for me, even if it gives you rosy cheeks.
Next week my eldest daughter is having a yard sale, i wonder if...

Lamb producers that supply Sainsbury's to get price boost
NewsFriday 11 January 2013
The lamb producers that are supplying Sainsbury's have been guaranteed that they will receive a price that is more than 60p/kg above the market rate until the end of February.
The price boost will be handed to a total of 800 sheep farmers in the Sainsbury's Lamb Development Group. It will be funded by Sainsbury's in order to help the farmers to get the ideal weight at the right time of the season.
The price will be raised to £3.80-£4.00/kg, up from £3.20/kg.
Chief executive Justin King told Farmers Weekly: "Because of the close relationship we have built with our farmers, we can react quickly to the volatile market conditions, which is why we have announced a new price for our lamb farmers today.
"One of our key values is to source with integrity and offer the best produce from local producers, so working with more local farmers and suppliers is also paramount to our growth."
Sainsbury's has released an appeal for more Welsh farmers to join the group. This is so that the retailer can then sell more Welsh products. Mr King visited the Pontypridd store and he highlighted that the supermarket is currently sourcing over £40m worth of products from Wales.
The Welsh first minister Carwyn Jones, said that Mr King's call for more Welsh farmers and suppliers to come forward and work with the company is one we can all welcome.

Yesterday, the first Microsoft Techdays ended in Paris after three days and more than 200 presentations. Thank you to all of you who honored us by their attendance! (I don't have the final figures yet but you were about 9,000 people on the two first days alone.) If you didn't have a chance to attend, you will be able to watch the presentations once they are published at the beginning of March (an understanding of French will be necessary). My personal involvement was to help define the security track content, present 5 sessions and lead two workshops on Windows Vista security with my colleague Pascal Sauliere.
My sessions included:
– Getting ready for NAP (original title: 'Se préparer à NAP') where I did demonstrate 802.1X enforcement on a Cisco 3750 switch. I did test the 802.1X enforcement on Enterasys gear too. I plan to publish a video of what it looks like on this blog. I will also provide some documentation on what I did to configure this demo. Stay tuned.
– The human factor: the weakest link or the last resort (original title: 'Le facteur humain maillon faible ou dernière chance '). Stanislas Quastana and I have had a lot of fun doing this one. I hope it will help support the fact that The human factor is a chance for Information Systems Security. You'll find all the references for the books we talked about on Stan's blog.
– What's new in security with Windows Vista (original title: Nouveautés de sécurité de Windows Vista). A short overview of Windows Vista security, co-animated with Pascal Sauliere.
– UAC: User Account Control (original title : Contrôle de compte utilisateur UAC) co-animated with Pascal Sauliere.
– An introduction to Forefront Client Security (original title: Découvrir Forefront Client Security) the enterprise antimalware solution by Microsoft.I've heard that there were some great presentations (by both Microsoft and non Microsoft speakers). So, if you do speak French, I'm sure you will enjoy the content once it is published and more particularly, to only name a few: a tutorial on virology, Office documents fuzzing, quantum cryptography, integrating Linux into Active Directory…

Speedo Q
I dont know if this is in the right place or not so if it ant then sorry.But a few of yall have said that if my speedo is off then it will show crap fuel mileage. And i know that mine is off by bout 10 mph. So what it ant easy cheap why to fix the speedo. Thanks fer the help yall.
Easiest way is not cheap. That would be to figure out how much in %, and then get a 'speedo adapter" gearbox. Takes less than a minute to install.
More work, but cheaper is to get the correct "driven" speedo gear. If you get lucky, you may not need to change the drive gear which is more work. You won't know until you find out the exact error you have in %, and then find out what drive & driven gears you have...then go to GM and they can look up the corrections. They may prefer you give them your axle ratio, tire size, etc, instead..
Way too much screwing around for me. Just ante up, and buy the adapter :rolleyes:
By the way, you can't just say my speedo is off by 10. Get on a hiway with mile markers and compute the percentage.
These may help you
http://novaresource.org/speedo.htm has a formula that uses tire diameter & rear end gear ratio, and a chart of speedo gear combinations.
http://tciauto.com/Products/TechInfo/speedo_gears.asp has a tire diameter calculator.
If you know you are 10% off, just factor in that 10%.....There, it cost you nothing......That will be 29.95 for the advise................. :D
Speedo Q
Thanks fer all the heop guys.I had no idea that it would be that envolved to fix that thing.But it will be a long project so i ant in to big of a hurry on something that small.Thanks agian.
It's not really involved or difficult ;)
When I recalibrate a build, I just go out on the highway here that has mile markers each mile. I go 10 miles. Let's say after the 10th mile, I have gained 1 mile too much on the odometer...that means you need to slow down the speedo cable approximately 10%. Then just get the 10% reducing adapter. I also use a watch with a second hand, to time each mile, or just hold it at a steady 60mph for those 10 miles, to see if the error is the same on speed, as well as "miles driven".

Steve Lacy Octet
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download music.
|7 Songs
Album Review
For this unusual set, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's sextet (with Steve Potts on alto and soprano, pianist Bobby Few, bassist Jean Jacques Avenel, drummer John Betsch, and vocalist Irene Aebi) is joined by the great tenor Ricky Ford (heard throughout in exciting form) and Tom Varner on French horn. The Lacy originals, which often feature Aebi singing poems, include tributes to Miles Davis, John Carter, Charles Mingus, and Stan Getz, among others. The music, as usual, sounds like nothing played by those performers, but does feature lots of interesting tone colors and harmonies and consistently stimulating solos, particularly from Ford and Potter. Well worth exploring.

text: Hi, I have built a nice machine on RC1 64 bit Windows 7. Like it lots - but I keep getting two identical errors on start up which I know how to solve in xp or vista but not windows 7. On start up I get two idential pop up windows that say Run Time Error 339 mswinsck.ocx is not registered. Of course it isn't as I don't think it exists in Windows 7. Normally I would use regsvr32 to register it but Windows complains that it isn't compatible. I have tried uninstalling most of my applications (mostly 32 bit stuff like Office 2007) but can't seem to find the one that is causing it. I have looked in the event viewer and can see no mention of the error and also turned on boot logging and looked at the log, again no joy. Any help would be much appreciated - it's a small thing but very annoying ! Thanks

Every Now and Then, The Memories Return
I could hear the ambulance screaming down Columbus, honking its way through the stubborn traffic. I thought about pulling in to some driveway and running ahead to see if I could help, but I was quite sure my colleagues on Traffic had it all well in hand.
The sirens and the smell of all the exhaust pulled me back to that afternoon nearly eight years ago. Not far from here, twelve blocks ahead on Columbus, a good part of my life ended.
Margo, my ex-wife, had gone over to Harvard to attend an art lecture, something about Monet or one of those French-named guys. It was my day to be Dad, one-on-one with my little strawberry blond gal, my little blue-eyed, curly headed Colleen. We were crossing the street in front of Christ Church, seeking a Cherry Ice from the vendor on the other side. I hadn't noticed - I was too busy keeping an eye on some street tough who was about to make a purse snatch - but Colleen had lost her doll's cap while we were running across the street. She dashed back into traffic to retrieve that cap and in an instant, my Colleen was gone. And it was my fault.
I can still see her lying there in the street. I can see her doll with its sky-blue dress. And I can still see that little blue-knit cap in Colleen's hand resting on the pavement. I can smell the exhaust, I can hear the wail of the ambulance, I can hear the murmurs of the crowd and the weeping of the driver of the car. And can remember all that but I can never make out her face.
Oh, I still have photographs of her hidden in the closet tucked away in an old shoe box, but I never pull them out anymore. I can't handle the pain. And the guilt, it never goes away. If anything, guilt grows, like a cancer eating away your soul.
I know Margo could never handle my guilt; she never spoke to me after that trip home from the cemetery. She left that night and I haven't heard from her since, only her attorneys, Myron & Morgan of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The honk from the Yellow Cab behind me brought me back to the present moment. One of our traffic volunteers was routing us in a detour through an alley.
I finally made it to Saint Elizabeth's and Doc was waiting for me on street level. He waved me down, jumped in and suggested that I just circle the block.
He pulled out the yellow sheet, the carbon copy of his medical examiner's report that he always had to file with B.P.D., and started giving me a recap.
"MacKenzie, why must you always be late! Well, anyway. As we already know, three bullets in the head. But get this. Remember I told you that I had three bodies that night we met your Miss Yellow Roses. Well, the gun used on that big time accountant that was murdered at that night club not far from the Ambassador, you know Lucky G's ..." - ah what the h*ll what was the name of that vic.. ... ah..."
I interjected, "Billington, used to work for ... d*mn, that's right, He used to work way back then for O'Hara, but then he landed some government job with the State..."
Doc continued, "Yea, that 's him. Forgot about that O'Hara connection, jeez, well anyway the same gun that did him in, killed the cabbie."
I continued my right hand turns. "What else, Doc? You're doing great."
"Well, no surprise, his liver was pickled. And he had been sneaking a few nips from his flask just before he drank his last. But the kicker is what the the technicians found. A black bag with some heroin works under the back seat of his cab, pretty well-hidden in a little custom made space.'
"You mean he was using too," I added.
"MacKenzie, that's what is rather strange. Flanagan was clean as a whistle. Not a track on him anywhere I could find and his blood had plenty of alcohol, aspirin and caffeine. But no heroin, no nothing of anything of that kind."
"Anything else."
"Time of death. 10:14 p.m."
Now that caught my attention for Doc Brewster did have a tendency to not want to get too specific. "How in the world could you figure it to be 10:14 p.m.?"
I was expecting some exotic forensic explanation but he instead caught me loafing. "Because he called in on his radio at 10:13. Dispatch called back at 10:15 and he never answered."
I wanted to say, "I knew that," but I hadn't even begun thinking about Flanagan's case. All Flanagan was to me was one less source of information concerning Miss Yellow Roses. "Doc, it sure looks like Mr. O'Hara is showing up all over this thing."
"And, MacKenzie, I'd just as soon have him not knowing what I know."
"Don't worry, Doc. You're off limits with these guys.' I pulled over and let the good Doctor out. "I hope you score well today, Ben Hogan.'
"Mac, you ought to come with me some day and give it a try."
"No thanks, Doc. I've got enough frustrations with adding one more."

Next question: Who wants Terrell Owens?
The Dallas Cowboys' stunning release of Owens fuels a wide range of speculation regarding the market for an aging, mercurial and now-unemployed receiver with a track record for fostering poor locker room chemistry.
"I don't think there's a big market for him," says ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer. "It's going to take a coach with a big ego who feels he can handle any personality."
Counters NFL Network analyst Jamie Dukes, "There are a lot of places where he could land. T.O. is still one of the best players in the league."
T.O. OUT: Cowboys release Owens
SURVEY: Who wins Owens-Cowboys divorce?
Owens, 35, caught 38 touchdowns in three seasons with the Cowboys. But he had just two 100-yard games in 2008 when, similar to his stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles, he was at the center of controversy. In December, ESPN reported that Owens was at odds with quarterback Tony Romo, tight end Jason Witten and coordinator Jason Garrett — which weighed on recent internal evaluations. A month before that, Owens was critical of Garrett's offense in an interview with NFL Network's Deion Sanders.
"This is a decision based on consideration for an entire team," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement released Thursday. "We will move on now with a new team — a new attitude — and into a new stadium."
According to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Owens informed teammates and close associates of his release in a text-message on Wednesday. On his website Thursday, he thanked Jones and Cowboys coach Wade Phillips and added, "I look forward to the upcoming season and continuing to play in the NFL."
Former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson, an ESPN analyst who, like Owens, was drafted in 1996, says Owens' baggage and past experiences with some coaches and players around the league eliminates many teams as potential suitors. Owens' asking price might be another deterrent.
"Is he looking for $10 million, $5 million or $1.5 million?" Johnson asked. "If he thinks he's going to make high-end money, it isn't going to happen. He strikes me as a guy where it would hurt his pride to take less than he thinks he's worth.So there are a lot of factors."
Dilfer suspects that beyond chemistry, Dallas — which traded first- and third-round picks to Detroit in October to obtain receiver Roy Williams— realized that Owens is not as explosive and capable of getting off the line of scrimmage as in the past. Owens, second to Jerry Rice with 139 career TD catches, received a $7 million bonus last year with a three-year, $27 million contact extension.
"He's been one of the great receivers for 10 years, but he just isn't as good as he once was," Dilfer said. "He's not worthy of his salary as a No. 1 receiver."
Said Johnson, "If he didn't see this coming, then shame on him. This is the reality of life in the NFL. At some point, everybody's going to get cut."
Even so, Owens — the subject of a reality TV show slated to air on VH1 this summer — remains a high-profile magnet for intrigue.
"This is just as good as Brett Favre last year," Dukes said. "It has created a buzz. What if (Washington Redskins owner) Dan Snyder grabs him? What if he goes back to Philadelphia? This reads like good theater to me."

Sensible Love? (CrystalRose)
Sensible love? Sophia had belived in it once. Yet now it was just a past memory and something she should of listened to. She made a mistake.... one tiny mistake. She allowed her life to be controlled by one person.
How can love be sensible when if take away it can destroy your entire life? Make it painfully difficult to rebuild?
Sophia hadn't thought about what would happen if it didn't work out. Didn't think twice about leaving her friends and family and moving to another country. So to this day she is cold and alone trying to get home.

This really sucks... At the very least the current page URL should be already written in the page, why do I have to copy paste the URL manually?!... Just showing the page in a frame, wtf?
Omg this is so lame. Instead of just logging me in with the first available login-data like it's done with the Firefox-Addon, it just shows the page in a Frame and i have to copy/paste manually!? I don't need an extension to just open a webpage.
it's worked!
Stupid its all bull sh*t, most of the logins don't work
Yes, really, there's the button or any other control???
Hm i installed that addon now but i dont have that button in my bar.
