Dutch students have developed powdered alcohol which they say can be sold legally to minors.

The latest innovation in inebriation, called Booz2Go, is available in 20-gramme packets that cost 1-1.5 euros ($1.35-$2).

Top it up with water and you have a bubbly, lime-colored and -flavored drink with just 3 percent alcohol content.

“We are aiming for the youth market. They are really more into it because you can compare it with Bacardi-mixed drinks,” 20-year-old Harm van Elderen told Reuters.

Van Elderen and four classmates at Helicon Vocational Institute, about an hour’s drive from Amsterdam, came up with the idea as part of their final-year project.

“Because the alcohol is not in liquid form, we can sell it to people below 16,” said project member Martyn van Nierop.

The legal age for drinking alcohol and smoking is 16 in the Netherlands.

In Germany, alcopops — sweet drinks containing alcohol and in powder form — caused quite a stir when launched on to the market. Alcohol powder, classified as a flavoring, was sold in the United States three years ago.

The students said companies interested in making the product commercially could avoid taxes because the alcohol was in powder form. A number of companies are interested, they said.

Hustler magazine is looking for some scandalous sex in Washington again — and willing to pay for it.

“Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?” read a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt’s pornographic magazine in Sunday’s Washington Post.

It offered $1 million for documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder. A toll-free number and e-mail address were provided.

The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive to impeach President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

In the following months, the pornographic publishing mogul threatened to expose one or two members of the Republican Congress pushing for the impeachment, according to media reports at the time.

That long-awaited expose, published months after Clinton’s trial, dropped no bombshells, according to a 1999 Slate.com article, but Flynt’s efforts played a role in the resignation of House-speaker designate Bob Livingston of Louisiana.

Flynt’s target this time, if he has one, was not immediately known.

A 13-year-old White County boy makes a shocking discovery. He finds his baby brother dead inside a running dishwasher. Detectives say right now they consider it a tragic accident, but they are still questioning family members.

It’s being described by detectives as one of the worst death scenes in their careers.

White County Detective Mark Jones, says, “I’ve worked the crime scenes for the sheriff’s department for the last six years and I have never come across a scene such as this.”

Detectives say what they found inside the Romance mobile home on Snowbird Road was 18-month-old Clifton Kurk dead, covered in severe burns.

“I think that what we’ve found out so far would suggest that this was a tragic accident. However, the case is open and we’re still looking,” says Chief Deputy Jeremy Clark.

Clark says Kurk’s mother was at work and his father asleep when his 13-year-old brother made the gruesome discovery.

Clark explains, “I believe the child walked out of the room, realized that his little brother wasn’t there, heard the dishwasher on and found that odd. The baby’s blanket was laying in front of the dishwasher.”

Deputies believe the toddler had been inside the running dishwasher, set on high heat, for as long as 15 minutes, but no one is sure exactly how he got inside and closed the door.

“There are some theories,” says Clark. “I don’t really know how to answer that. I don’t like giving theories as far as any evidence of how the child got in there. No one saw the child get in there that’s been reported to us. Again, the family’s been very cooperative they’ve done everything we’ve asked of them and been understanding of what we have to do even though they’ve suffered a tragic loss. I don’t want to lose focus of that.”

Deputies say they’d never been called to the house before and believe this may be nothing more than a tragic lesson in keeping a closer eye on your children.

“Watch your kids. You can never be too safe,” says Clark.

The Maytag dishwasher was removed from the home as evidence. Detectives say the investigation could last for several more days, or possibly weeks.
