Some urge Boehner: let Dems pass fiscal cliff bill
In case the public weren't frustrated enough over Congress' failure to resolve the "fiscal cliff," consider this: lawmakers probably could enact a compromise quickly and easily if Republican leaders let Democrats provide most of the votes.

The late Sen. Daniel Inouye was remembered Sunday as an American hero whose legacy as a war veteran and longtime senator would be felt across Hawaii for years to come.

Congress clears way for DoD civilian workforce cuts
Congress has cleared the way for a $633 billion defense policy bill that includes mandated reductions to the Defense Department's civilian and contractor workforces. Leaders of a House-Senate conference committee, tasked with reconciling competing versions of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, included in the final report the automatic workforce reductions that opponents say would result in about 36,000 job losses.

Sen. Patrick Leahy said Wednesday he would remain as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee rather than take over the top slot on the Appropriations Committee, which became vacant this week with the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye.
Leahy, a seven-term Democrat from Vermont, said in a statement that continuing to chair the Judiciary Committee while "maintaining my seniority on the Appropriations Committee will allow me to protect both the Constitution and Vermont."

House OKs DHS audit, lightens GAO load
The House this week approved a handful of bills aimed at improving federal financial management and oversight of government operations. Two of the bills one requiring the Homeland Security Department to pass a complete financial audit and the other lightening the mandatory caseload of the Government Accountability Office have already been passed by the Senate and head to the president's desk for his signature.
Lawmakers up in arms over report on Army payroll problems
The U.S. Army's $47 billion in annual military payroll accounts has caused major woes for some soldiers trying to collect their pay, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. As a result of the Army being unable to track and collect data on numerous pay errors including over payments, under payments, data entry errors and fraud, active duty soldiers are not receiving the correct compensation and this has a bipartisan team of lawmakers furious.
Senators press Army on suspension and debarment delays
A bipartisan group of senators has written to top Army officials to express concern about delays in the suspension and debarment process that leave the service open to contracting waste and fraud. In a letter to Army Secretary John McHugh and Chief of Staff Raymond Odierno, the senators questioned "significant time lapses" between referrals for suspension and actual debarment of contractors in Afghanistan.
Homeland Security grant spending questioned
The Homeland Security Department paid for an underwater robot in a Midwest city with no major rivers or lakes nearby, a hog catcher in rural Texas and a fish tank in a small Texas town, according to a new congressional report highlighting what it described as wasteful spending of tax money intended for counterterrorism purposes.
Senate's defense bill cuts civilian workforce, caps contractor salaries
The Senate approved a $631 billion annual defense policy Tuesday that would require the Defense Department to reduce its civilian workforce by 5 percent over the next five years and impose a strict cap on government-funded contractor salaries.

Senate moves forward with plan to reduce DoD civilian workforce
The Senate moved forward with a plan to require the Defense Department to reduce its civilian workforce by 5 percent over the next five years, after a measure striking that provision was defeated in a vote Friday. Earlier this week, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) introduced an amendment to the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, which would lift a mandated 5 percent reduction to DoD's civilian and contractor workforces over five years. But in a 53-41 vote, Cardin's amendment was defeated.

The Homeland Security Department would be required to conduct and pass a full financial audit under a bill unanimously approved by the Senate on Wednesday.

Mariah Carey's Friends "Shocked" At Secret Weddingby Contributor | 04 May 2008
Picture: Mariah Carey attends the lighting ceremony at the 'Empire State Building' where the tower will shine lavender, pink and white in honour of her new...
News of the surprise wedding between Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon has "shocked" her friends and associates, according to a US magazine.
A source from the pop diva's camp told People that she was "shell shocked" at hearing about the nuptials, which have still not been officially confirmed but were reported to have taken place last week in the Bahamas.
Carey, whose has been busily promoting new album E=MC2, is believed to have met rapper and actor Cannon on the set of the video for her next single, Bye Bye, at the end of March.
An insider told the magazine that although they did not know each other prior to the shoot, it is likely that the relationship started at this time.
And while few knew about the wedding, most appear to be sending their best wishes onto the new Mr and Mrs.
"Whatever makes them happy," said rap mogul Russell Simmons. "They have a lot in common and should have a lot of fun together."
Cannon's brother Gabriel added: "It's crazy right! We're definitely happy."
However, another story in People questions whether the alleged wedding is a publicity stunt - and a Cannon source appeared to doubt the coupling as real.
"This is what Nick does," the insider said. "Nick is such a sucker for love he falls in love so quick."
Fans of Carey will know that she has already been married once before. In 1993 she wed music executive Tommy Mottola but the couple separated in 1997.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/23/2014Ceasar salad was bland and unseasoned. Biscotti was awful! No flavor - like cardboard. Main meal (house pasta trio, chicken parm and stuffed pepper) was delicious.Special Features:

- Too busy/make sure you make a reservation!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/22/2014My friend and I went on a Saturday night, we had reservations for 6:30pm. There was a woman at the door who was directing people in and out, she was rude and loud. There were so many people waiting, by the hostess stand, I felt like I was on the subway at rush hour. The tables are so close together, you feel like your eating with the people sitting next to you. While i was annoyed at all that.....the food was great!!! We were seeing a show at 8pm and they fed us in time, but didn't feel rushed. Service was great!!! I will definitley go back, but maybe during the week. Weekends are way too busy. Make sure you make a reservation, I heard them telling people it would be a 1 hour wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently deliciousNightoutDined on 11/22/2014I have eaten here about 5 times and every time has been wonderful. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. Service is good and managers check in from time to time at your table. Tables are a bit close together but I haven't minded so far. Breadsticks are amazing!! Pasta add-on for $9 more is always worth it! I'll definitely be returning the next time I see a Broadway play.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- When we go to NYC, this is our go to place !!Hard2pleesDined on 11/22/2014Whenever we are in NYC, we stop by Becco's for Great Food and Great Service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great lunch, pasta cooked perfectlyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014Hard to find a great $18 lunch in NYC...this is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food. I wasn't "wowed"nyc4adayDined on 11/22/2014Bread was delish, main entree was good. Tight quarters, but I expected that based on other reviews. Noise wasn't as bad as some make it seem. We sat upstairs and it was pleasant. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with our lunch but I've had better in the theater district. Was nice to try someplace new.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Becco owned by Lidia Bastianich and her son Joe that you may have seen her on TV on her Lydia's kitchen…we arrived at 8 o'clock for our 8 o'clock reservation and we're seated immediately, we all had to three pasta sampler served table side that comes with either of you Cesar or the antipasto salad for $22.95. They also have an extensive wine list that are all $25. Make reservations early and you will not be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Service, ValueLibber8Dined on 11/21/2014We tried Becco for the first time last week. Located in NYC's theater district, it's a great pre-event venue! Excellent food, service, and menu. Seating is tight, so be ready to meet your "neighbor". We will definitely return, and the $25/ bottle wine list makes for an affordable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over CrowdedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/21/2014I had made reservation 1 week earlier for 6:30 to make sure i would have time to get to my play. I arrived at 6:15 to wait standing up in the middle of tables with at least 15 like me.I am sure it was not fun for does who were eating to see us all stand around them. At 7pm i finally got my table only to rush and eat.I suggest, reserve for less people and take care of them .
- First time thereJoeyDined on 11/21/2014Have been a fan of Mr. Bastianich on TV and being foodies, we planned to dine in one of his restaurants. Needless to say we were blown away, no doubt one our top ten dining experiences over many years and in many Countries ! The food, service & experience lives up to the Hype. Will definately be back next time we are in NY.Special Features:
- Enjoyed the food butOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/20/2014The tables are way too close to each other. When the table next to us was being served I had to lean to one side so the waiter good serve them. Was bumped several times during dinner. The noise level is over whelming. We had a late night dinner (10:30 reservation) and it was disturbing when they started mopping the floor around us while we were having desert.
- Dinner prior to theatreEdbud99Dined on 11/20/2014Becco NEVER disappoints. The knowledgable wait-staff are helpful and extremely efficient. The pre theatre concept if delicious very efficient. The food is hot, varied, and wonderful. We visit Becco everytime we are in NYC . I'd highly recommend Becco to anyone wanting wonderful food in New York.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- too noisy and crowded ...RsparnoVIPDined on 11/20/2014never going back before theater ..... crazy cramped placeSpecial Features:
- Disappointedathreesome123Dined on 11/20/2014Disappointed; felt rushed and wait staff not accommodating; food not as good as I hoped; noisy, and too many people milling around table - All in all, what I thought may have been "special" did not feel that way. Wanted to treat sister turning 70 to a special meal experience, and show - meal end of things not so great.
- Good/loud/packedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/19/2014Food was very good. Extremely loud though. Went at 6:30 for a special dinner and people were JAMMED in the entry way. I mean jammed! Overall, would recommend, but not at a pre-show hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just so-soBigDDined on 11/19/2014This place is totally over-booked. Far too many tables. Almost impossible for patrons or servers to get around. Tables are on top of each other. Extremely noisy. Food was OK, but not nearly good enough for the price. There are many better choices in the theater district, including several on the same block as Becco.
- Bad Night At BeccoChrisSDined on 11/19/2014First of all the tables on right on top of each other and our table for two was inches from another table for two with two very vocal people sitting next to us. The unlimited 3 pasta special was at best bland and unappealing. My partner's swordfish was so dry and overcooked. We were in a hurry to see a play so we did not have time to send back the swordfish. This is our 8th time at this restaurant and I would most likely never come back. It is a shame because I have really enjoyed coming here in the past and have recommended it often to my friends that go to broadway.
- Pasta Sinfonia--music in my mouth!BeachladywhodinesDined on 11/19/2014I still can't decide which of the three pastas served to us is my favorite---- the pumpkin ravioli with cocoa in the pasta dough (amazing ), or the orecchiette with sausage and cabbage (hearty and full of flavors). the fresh tomato sauce with basil, a standby, is always great. I always choose the antipasto because it is creatively prepared and always tasty. And those bread sticks? The best I've ever had! Our waiter suggested wines by the glass and each of us loved the selection. Mine was a Nero Diavola and I've already been to a wine store to buy some. Becco is really the perfect place to begin, or in our case as we saw a matinee, end your day in Manhattan. My only criticism is that I can no longer get my beloved yellow box of matches. They seem to have discontinued providing them and they have always kept the name Becco on the lips of my guests and in the forefront of my memory. I hope they bring them back. The food and wait staff will bring me back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food is a-mazing!!!TikiDined on 11/19/2014Even though there was a huge lunch crowd at noon, we were all seated and waited on very quickly. The wait staff are wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 3 Daily PastasOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/19/2014The 3 daily pastas never cease to amaze us! And the lunch price of $ 19 allows us unlimited quantities. We had a basic rigatoni, a wonderful spinach pasta pumpkin-filled ravioli, and a spectacular fettucine in a butter sauce with ample quantities of bay scallops! You are given a choice of Antipasto or caesar salad; fresh bread/addictive crunchy, breadsticks included. So popular--should make a reservation! And to top that off--attentive service, too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently delivers a great dining experience.CasualJackDined on 11/19/2014The three pasta special is always a wonderful meal at a reasonable price. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Be prepared for a loud dinning room. A great place to meet friends for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect pre-matinee ladies lunch spotKmitchDined on 11/19/2014My friends and I easily secured a reservation at this theatre district classic only to be a little disappointed by the amount of tables they managed to squeeze in and the noise level of ladies chattering from every room. But the service was fast and efficient and except for the room temperature white bean soup, the food was generally very good. I would go again either at a different time to avoid the crowd or with the understanding that it's a matinee hot spot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointedchinagirlVIPDined on 11/19/2014We did not enjoy our meal here. It was very rushed and the food seemed (and tasted) mass produced. The table for 2 was very small and barely fit our 2 plates and glasses. The entire meal took 45 minutes and the atmosphere felt hectic. With all the choices available in NYC, we will not return.
- GreatDianeDined on 11/18/2014Our group loved the food and the lively atmosphere. Everything was delicious, with very generous portions. We had 2 bottles of fabulous wine from their extensive $25.00 a bottle wine list. I was surprised at the very reasonable prices. I will definitely plan to eat at Becco again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great atmosphere. Excellent service.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/17/2014Would return on any trip to NYC. Great neighborhood. Great wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well priced with good foodnotalocalDined on 11/17/2014The pasta trio for 22.95 is a real bargain for NYC. This is a reasonably priced restaurant, so much so that it was jam packed on a Monday night. Small bar filled with patrons. The food was good, with the focus on the pasta trio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MD FoodieLuv2eatDined on 11/16/2014The appetizer selections for the unlimited trio pasta deal for $22.95 was good, but the pastas were very disapointing...the lasagna was dry, burnt and not enough sauce or flavor; the penne and broccoli was too plain and also needed more flavor; the linguini with red sauce was also lacking on the flavor. I had expected more from Lidia since her pastas on TV always looked so tasty. The other dishes we ordered (black bass, calf liver and short rib) were pretty good. Loved the $25/bottle deal on all the Italian wines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CilalDined on 11/16/2014Becco has never disappointed me. I have visited many times over the years since it opened and always find great food, great mood, and very fair prices. A really nice balance in NYC!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Resturant. Can not beat quality and valuehardtoimpressVIPDined on 11/16/2014Restaurant packed on a Sunday night. We had a 7:15 reservation. Seated promptly at 7:15 Had requested table upstairs(more quiet area) which was accommodated. They have an extensive $25 bottle of wine menu which can not be beat. Good wines at reasonable prices. All entrees come with a Caesar salad, which was very good. All of our entrees were EXCELLENT, both fish and meat dishes were ordered. Dessert was delicious, especially the almond tiramisu. Even though the restaurant was packed, great service, they do not rush you and for quality and cost, 1 of the best NYC restaurants. Highly recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is always good, but choices the same a lot.LaurieLewisDined on 11/16/2014Last few times I've been there, the pasta choices seem to not change much. Our lasagna was cold, as in frozen cold.....fresh or frozen? They don't seem to use Open Table that well and we had to wait about 30 minutes later than our reservation time, which wouldn't be too bad if there was a place to sit or wait. If you don't get a stool at the bar, you cannot stand in there. Downstairs in main area is almost noisy to the point that you cannot comfortably converse with your table. I know this is typical of NYC, but this is far worse than any other restaurant I"ve eaten at in NYC. To be fair, the servers, especially guys who bring the food around, work incredibly hard and deserve most of the credit for the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible Table!LuAnnDined on 11/16/2014I made my reservation for Becco over a month ago, to coincide with our theater tickets to Wicked on Sunday. What a disappointment! We arrived a little early for our 5:45 reservation and the place was packed! We were told we could not be seated early, and there was no where to wait, so we left and had a drink a few doors down. When we went back, at 5:40 we were told our table would be ready in a minute, and we were given a table for four right smack at the entrance. We objected to it, but the hostess told us: "This is the only table available", even though I saw others near the back. Every time the door opened and that was at least 25 times, a cold rush of air blasted in on us. Our waitress was obviously overwhelmed and we waited a long time even for bread. Food was just OK. Nothing great. My daughter and husband had the pasta special, and my son and I the veal chop. Mine parmigiano, his Milanese. Not the tenderest, I'll tell you. It was my birthday but we couldn't sit there a moment longer to order dessert. I guess you have to request a table in the back room. We had been to Felidia before, so I expected the same. Totally not the same. A major disappointment. The veal dishes were $42.00 entree's I might add.Special Features:
- Too crowded!JJC20Dined on 11/16/2014Food and service were outstanding, but it was much too noisy and crowded. People kept bumping into us and there was no where to move.We were there for a special occasion and it really took a lot of the fun out of the evening.
- Amazing in all aspects!Thompson1Dined on 11/16/2014We were told about becco by a local and it did not dissappoint! The food was wonderful the service was great and there was also a great atmosphere. Would definitely return if we were New York City again! The steak was beautifully cooked and just melted in your mouth. Can not fault becco.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food is good.. but not up expectationsgirlsdayDined on 11/16/2014Did a pre theatre matinee 8 girls. Gave ourselves 2 full hours for lunch. Sat 15 min. Later than reservation. Waiter was arrogant. Took our order quick and salads came out soon after. We waited tI'll 230 for our entrée! Had to shovel in our food fast to make our 3pm show... food was good.. I had much better in little italy.. but I would stay away based on service. . Or lack there of!!! Food can not make up for a terrible experience with service....
- Always Outstanding!RoseanneDined on 11/16/2014We have been to Becco many times and continue to come back because the food is always soooooo good. Also, great selections of $25 bottles of wine. Not many places in NYC offer that. I am sure we will be back again.
- Excellent as usualSandeeDined on 11/16/2014We enjoyed another visit and found the food and service to be wonderful. Adding to our pleasant lunch we were there at the end of a wedding ceremony and had the opportunity to meet the bride and groom as they were doing photographs and heading upstairs to their reception. What a wonderful venue for this special day. I know we will be back again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Kids' show producer goes for bigger share of digital market
CHILDREN'S show producer DHX Media Ltd. expects to increase global sales on digital platforms like Netflix and mobile devices following a $111-million deal to buy Toronto's Cookie Jar Entertainment.
Cookie Jar Entertainment, with shows such as Caillou and Inspector Gadget, is already the No. 1 supplier of kids' programming to online content provider Netflix, DHX Media chief executive and chairman Michael Donovan said Monday.
"The consumers can get programming exactly when they want it, not when it's on a schedule," Donovan said in an interview.
"Consumers are prepared to pay for that."
Halifax-based DHX, with shows like Kid vs. Kat, already sells content to Netflix and Donovan said the combined company will have even more content to sell to Netflix and a greater global sales potential.
"Families are increasingly accessing children's entertainment from sources other than traditional television and DVD sales," Donovan told a conference call to discuss the acquisition.
"Content is now available directly by way of computers, mobile, IPTV (Internet protocol television), standard television with an Internet connection, etc. For example, Cookie is a leader in the digital distribution of its library."
DHX Media (TSX:DHX) said the transaction will be paid through a combination of about $45 million in cash and shares and includes the assumption of $66 million of debt.
Announcement of the transaction caused DHX's shares to surge 24 per cent, gaining 27 cents to close at $1.41 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The combined company will have more than $125 million in revenues going forward, Donovan said.
Michael Hirsh, Cookie Jar's CEO, said the combined company will be an independent global market leader in all aspects of children's entertainment from distribution to production to licensing and merchandising.
"There is an insatiable appetite for kids' content in the new digital streaming universe and we are very well positioned with our extensive library of evergreen, popular and recognizable brands to satisfy the market demand," Hirsh said in a statement.
Privately held Cookie Jar also has digital distribution agreements in place with providers including DISH Network, Amazon.com and cable providers Comcast and Videotron (TSX:QBR.B), Donovan said.
DHX Media also produces programs such as Yo Gabba Gabba, Rastamouse, How to be Indie and That's So Weird.
Donovan billed the transaction as creating as Canada's largest children's entertainment company.
The acquisition will increase DHX's current library of children's programming to more than 8,550 half-hour episodes from about 2,550 half-hour episodes and will also expand merchandising opportunities.
He also said the merchandising, licensing and library and distribution segments of the combined companies will represent 58 per cent of total revenue.
There will be about $8 million in cost synergies in the first 12 months.
The companies have offices in the same cities such as Toronto and Los Angeles, he said. As for job cuts, Donovan said, "We have no plans one way or the other."
Cookie Jar also had $8 million in digital distribution revenue for the 12 months ending May 31, representing growth of 353 per cent versus the same period last year, Donovan said.
DHX media is the producer or co-producer of more than 60 original TV series.
Cookie Jar has offices throughout western Europe as part of its Copyright Promotions Licensing Group (CPLG), a leading licensor and merchandiser of third-party brands and characters.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Twenty (20) professionals in the commercial buildings field are adding a new credential to their business cards – the Green Purchasing Accredited Professional (GPAP). This new credential indicates acquired knowledge of best practices in green product evaluation and procurement.
New U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission risk reporting directives and federal procurement directives on greenhouse-gas reduction are making science-based knowledge of a product's environmental performance essential. As more than 60 percent of most corporate and government budgets is spent on procuring products and services, the ROI of using best green purchasing practices is high.
The first class of GPAPs includes property managers and sourcing specialists with CB Richard Ellis and designers with BNIM Architects. These professionals completed six online courses and an exam developed by The Green Standard.
The Green Purchasing Accredited Professional Training credential encompasses diverse training tools and provides an efficient framework for use of green procurement standards and eco-labels, industry-specific standards and certification programs, and multiple- and single-attribute eco-labels.

Janet Yellen's reassuring comments on Thursday helped stocks
reach new highs offsetting the underwhelming
) release that painted a less than inspiring consumer spending
picture this holiday shopping season. Given this stock market
momentum, there is no reason to think that the market will
respond any differently to this morning's weaker than expected
Empire State manufacturing survey.
Consumer spending growth decelerated in the third quarter, with
personal consumption expenditures up only +1.5% in Q3, down from
Q2's +1.8% growth pace. In a low-growth consumer spending
environment, retailer have to rely on promotional efforts to grab
more consumer dollars. But this zero-sum drive for market share
where one company's gain is another's loss typically drives down
margins for everyone.
Looked at this way, Wal-Mart's sub-par outlook isn't solely a
function of under-pressured household finances, but also
reflective of a hyper competitive retail environment where some
operators like
) are more than willing to sacrifice margins for more sales.
Wal-Mart referred to this competitive dynamic in their earnings
call, which apparently more than offset the beneficial effects of
recent downtrend in gasoline prices.
Next week's October Retail Sales data will give us a good
sense of retail sales momentum at the start of Q4. But
irrespective of how the numbers turn out, the market will likely
remain happy as long as it assured of continued Fed support.

A very awesome - yet overly dark- Burnout game.
The game is still Burnout, which means that it still kicks the ass out of every single racing game made in the same year, but they seemed to take off a lot of what made the original Burnout games great: the light-hearted, kill-everyone-while-an-oblivious-DJ-talks-about-construction mood it gave off (I don't care what ANYONE says, I still love the DJ in Burnout 3).
What I'm talking about doesn't only span over the graphics, but the entire feel of the game. Yes, the graphics play a major part in this: everything has a very shady, dark tone to it, every single building (even in major cities) somehow gives off a vibe that it fell into decay, and the cars all look like a good washing and another coat of paint wouldn't exactly hurt them.
But that's not entirely it; the menus themselves all look very grunge-like and underground, like what I'm doing is even less legal then crashing into traffic and other cars at incredibly high speeds on public roads would normally be. The tutorial in the beginning is voiced by a very sly-voiced female announcer, that sounds like she both looks anorexic, yet could still kill you with her thumb, in a very drag-racing type of style.
There's a new feature: Traffic Attack! The name implies exactly what it sounds like - you get to kill people in an even more efficient manner then before, by ramming into small same-way traffic. The feature is a kind of mix from me... it feels as suitably kick-ass as it should when you're flying at 170+mph, but when you just crashed, you have no boost, you're going 10, and the second you tap the back of an SUV, it goes flying off in some direction, it can feel overly cheap and childish.
Still, aside from all that, the game accomplishes what every Burnout game is designed to be: Pure high-speed carnage. They still nailed the speed aspect of it, and nailed the awesomeness of takeouts so much they practically crucified it (in the good way)!
The game, and all future and previous Burnout games, is super-highly-recommended in my book.

The accused ringleader is Bellevue resident Unruean Aboulafia, a 34-year-old Thai national, who is charged with conspiracy to transport individuals in furtherance of prostitution; conspiracy to use a communication facility to promote prostitution; and conspiracy to engage in money laundering.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The accused ringleader of a multistate prostitution ring and three of her co-defendants entered not-guilty pleas Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, after a grand-jury indictment last week that found the suspects operated a web of "residential brothels," including in apartments in Kirkland and Bellevue.
Bellevue resident Unruean Aboulafia, a 34-year-old Thai national who allegedly is in the country illegally, is charged with conspiracy to transport individuals in furtherance of prostitution; conspiracy to use a communication facility to promote prostitution, for allegedly using computers and cellphones to advertise and facilitate the women's sexual services; and conspiracy to engage in money laundering.
According to the indictment, Aboulafia allegedly recruited Thai women, paid their smuggling debts of up to $60,000, set them up in apartments and then advertised their services on backpage.com, an online-advertising site that's long been criticized as facilitating the prostitution of women and girls.
In addition to operating apartment-based brothels on the Eastside, Aboulafia is accused of running similar operations in Chicago, Scottsdale, Ariz., and in the Falls Church-Tysons Corner area of Virginia, where the women were also advertised on backpage.com. The prostitution ring operated between April 2009 and February, when it was shut down after a lengthy undercover investigation, according to federal prosecutors.
It is not clear when Aboulafia was arrested. U.S. Magistrate Judge James Donohue on Monday ordered her to remain in detention until her defense attorney seeks to revisit the issue.
Thanyathorn Mohr, 35, of Bellevue, is also a Thai national but is here legally, according to court records.
She was the alleged "operator" for the prostituted women, and answered calls generated by the backpage.com ads, scheduled appointments and directed customers to the various apartments, the indictment says.
Two others — Xinping Zhang, 39, and her ex-husband, Jeff Chu, 48 — are accused of leasing apartments for the prostitution ring, collecting money and laundering the funds through various bank accounts. Zhang is a Chinese national legally in the U.S. Chu, who lives in Bellevue, is a U.S. citizen.
Mohr, Zhang and Chu, all of whom had been issued summonses to appear in court on Monday, also pleaded not guilty. The two women were taken into custody pending a detention hearing on Thursday; Chu was not detained but was ordered to surrender his passport and abide by other court conditions.
Also indicted in the conspiracy is Edward Flanigan, 57, of Federal Way. Flanigan, who is accused of renting apartments for the prostitution ring in Washington and Arizona, is to make his first court appearance Tuesday.
Aboulafia's ex-husband, Steven Aboulafia, 59, of Henderson, Nev., is also alleged to have rented apartments in Washington and Virginia for the ring and to have collected prostitution proceeds.
It could not be immediately determined when he is to appear in federal court in Seattle.

Hanging out in Hangzhou
We went to Hangzhou, China on a train that went 304 km/hr. from Shanghai. It was a super fast train.
In Hangzhou we went to a place called West Lake and rented bikes to ride around. There were a lot of people walking and riding bikes around the lake so we had to be careful..
Hanging Out in Hangzhou
Because of a big Chinese holiday that is approaching,we felt it prudent to book our next eight nights in china. We hopped on a high speed train and headed for Hangzhou, a small town (only about 6 million) a couple hours west of Shanghai. The train station in Shanghai ( the smallest of three) was as big as any airport I've ever been in. Once in Hangzhou, we grabbed a taxi to our Hostel. The unofficial taxi drivers at the train station were ...

The area around the lake was so quiet so it was pretty difficult getting a cab, and there were no buses.

Mississippi Power Tries to Keep Public, Sierra Club out of Kemper Expense Proceedings
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Company Asks Public Service Commission to Shield $5B Plant from Necessary Scrutiny
JACKSON, MS – Mississippi Power Company shocked consumers when it asked the Mississippi Public Service Commission Friday afternoon to block the Sierra Club from participating in the proceedings to determine how much customers should pay for the company's over budget, months-delayed Kemper County coal plant. The proceedings, known as prudency review, are the only opportunity for consumer advocates and the public to ask tough questions and challenge Mississippi Power's attempts to charge customers billions for the coal plant. MPC has asked the Commission to kick the Sierra Club out of the proceeding, claiming that the Club has no right to participate.
"Mississippi Power's actions show that they want to block the public from knowing the truth about the Kemper plant. The company wants to be the only one in the room when the PSC decides whether working families get stuck with billions of dollars in costs," said Louie Miller, state director of the Mississippi Sierra Club. "This may be good for the company and its investors, but it's bad for the ratepayer, and it's not how a democracy works. Mississippi Power wants the PSC to be a good ole boys' club, and we hope the PSC won't let that happen."
The Sierra Club has been the primary opponent of the Kemper plant and the only public interest organization to intervene in proceedings at the Public Service Commission since the plant was first proposed. Through Sierra Club's presence at the Commission, Mississippi consumers have had greater access to information and the opportunity to make their concerns known. The Sierra Club also challenged the Commission's initial approval of the plant, earning a unanimous decision by the Mississippi Supreme Court vacating the approval and ordering the Commission to justify its decision. A challenge to the second authorization is pending before the Supreme Court now, with arguments expected in spring or early summer.
"It's easy enough to understand why Mississippi Power wants the Sierra Club and the public shut out of the process. The Sierra Club is asking the tough questions, and not allowing Mississippi Power to run roughshod over the law," added Miller. "Trying to block the public and advocates from this proceeding shows again how desperate Mississippi Power is to put everything it can on the back of the ratepayer."
