Keg tag could cut back teen drinking
Activists hoping to curtail teen drinking are seeking a state law that would set up a system linking beer kegs to the people who bought them. The lobbying for a state law comes after a New Jersey official's advisory that local efforts to do the same were unenforceable.
Bills are being reintroduced in the present session of the Legislature that would require stores that rent or sell beer kegs to affix the metal cylinders with tags including the name and address of the purchaser.
The idea is that if minors are found drinking from a keg, police will be able to know who to charge with providing alcohol to minors.
A dozen other states already require keg tagging, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
About a dozen New Jersey municipalities have also adopted beer keg registration ordinances in recent years, according to the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

He then served briefly as interior minister in the military-appointed government. "He was a very outspoken, right-wing politician who attacked the student movement and justified the crackdown and killings that took place at Thammasat University," said Chulalongkorn University political scientist Giles Ungphakorn.

The slowing national economy is also a wild card. Still, the Valley hasnt seen a change in its underlying fundamentals, Rounds said. Population growth is projected at 2.5 percent to 3 percent, he said. The future is still bright, but we have to work through the pains, he said.

People were taking out second mortgages on their homes like they were ATMs, he said. Today, a once-aggressive lending industry is tightening guidelines on a near-daily basis. Borrowers need proof of income, a higher credit score and a larger down payment. Subprime loans, designed for higher-risk borrowers, are now virtually gone, he said.

Jimenez imagines Alex "may be in a cave, or some sort of underground structure." "That's why they hadn't found him," he explained to Ureña and Wareing over a steak one night. One time, shortly after the ambush, Jimenez had a dream about a man being held hostage by people who had eyes in their chests.

Jimenez could not make out the faces of the men in his dream. "When the captive arrived at a place where he could get help, that's when I woke up." .
