WASHINGTON - After talks with President Barack Obama, top Republican leaders in Congress put together a quick rescue plan Tuesday for highly controversial, White House-backed trade legislation that Democrats derailed in the House last week.
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans pushed a balanced-budget blueprint toward late-night approval Thursday night, laying down conservative markers for a likely veto struggle with President Barack Obama over their plans to erase deficits through trillions in spending cuts and repeal of the health care law.
Approval of the non-binding budget was a certainty, one day after the House ratified a slightly different version on a party-line vote.
WASHINGTON — Normally quarrelsome House Republicans came together Wednesday night and passed a boldly conservative budget that relies on nearly $5 trillion in cuts to eliminate deficits over the next decade, calls for repealing the health care law and envisions transformations of the tax code and Medicare.
Final passage, 228-199, came shortly after Republicans bumped up recommended defense spending to levels proposed by President Barack Obama.
WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans steamed ahead Tuesday toward likely approval of balanced budget outlines, essential early steps along a path to send President Barack Obama legislation to wipe out his 5-year-old health care law and eliminate deficits within a decade.
Obama is all but certain to veto the follow-up legislation if and when it reaches his desk later this year, but Republican rebels and establishment-minded conservatives alike in the House paid that little mind.
WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans steamed ahead Tuesday toward likely approval of balanced budget outlines, essential early steps along a path to send President Barack Obama legislation to wipe out his five-year-old health care law and eliminate deficits within a decade.
WASHINGTON - House Republicans launched a boldly conservative 10-year budget plan on Tuesday that would favor the Pentagon, partially privatize Medicare and rely on deep cuts in other social programs to help wipe out deficits at the end of a decade.
WASHINGTON - Three days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed by President Barack Obama.
WASHINGTON - Declaring the Islamic State is on the defensive and "going to lose," President Barack Obama asked Congress on Wednesday to formally authorize military force against the militants.
WASHINGTON - A small, influential group of Republicans, in search of a replacement health care law, will propose tax credits to help lower-income individuals and families purchase insurance, officials said Wednesday.
WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid displayed a large bandage over his right eye, a determination to seek-re-election and an unimpaired partisan political instinct Thursday at his first news conference since suffering an injury while exercising.
He said he looks forward to surgery to reconstruct the broken bones.

Brilliance in the shadow of Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio1928-30 Tony Lazzeri Game Used Bat, PSA/DNA GU 7. Despite his victimization in what may be the most famous strikeout in Major League history, this soft-spoken native of the Cow Hollow district of San Francisco earned a reputation as one of the sport's great clutch hitters during his fourteen seasons of service to the professional game. His Murderer's Row membership could be calculated as both a blessing and a curse, as surely Lazzeri's Hall of Fame induction would not have seen its half century delay had his career been executed outside the shadow of legends from Ruth to Gehrig to DiMaggio. In 1927, the wiry second baseman's eighteen home runs was best in the Majors but for his iconic teammates at first base and right field.
So while the first great Italian-American baseball star may have suffered by comparison during his playing days, the modern collecting hobby can enjoy the clarity of hindsight responsible for his long overdue 1991 Cooperstown induction. Long a position for nimble singles hitters, the second sack was transformed by Golden Age greats like Lazzeri and Rogers Hornsby, paving the way for modern stars like Ryne Sandberg, Roberto Alomar and current Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano. So those with an eye to the sport's evolution should pay close attention to this signature model Hillerich & Bradsby, tipping the scales at a Ruthian forty and a half ounces.
Expert John Taube heaps praise upon the thirty-five inches of ash, noting "evidence of excellent use with a crack on the handle and back barrel that have been professionally repaired, and slight checking from repeated ball contact on the left barrel." He also draws our attention to a scattering of cleat marks inflicted as Lazzeri knocked dirt off the soles of his shoes in the batter's box.
Considerably more rare than the lumber of any other field player enshrined in Monument Park, this Lazzeri representation is an opportunity to be taken seriously. The chance to own another could be years away, if not an eternity. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 7.

LAKEWOOD - The dying beast rises into the air like Regan, who is possessed by the devil in the horror flick "The Exorcist."
Fog envelops the area, and the ugly, but gentle, creature reverts back to the dashing prince he once was.
In the Beck Center for the Arts splendid production of "Beauty and the Beast," the scene at the end of the musical is no less magical, jaw-dropping and breathtaking than it was three years ago. The Beck Center first staged a production of "Beauty" about Christmas 2005 and decided to present encore productions in 2006 and again this year.
The same talented, vivacious cast returns, led by award-winning director Fred Sternfeld.
One may argue it's understandable to bring back the production a second time, but a third time or more is overkill.
Try telling that to the little boy sitting behind me Saturday night.
The boy, who might have been seeing the show for the first time, was squealing with delight especially at the antics of actor Josh Rhett Noble, who plays the conceited villain Gaston, who is in love, no OBSESSED, with the beautiful Belle. Noble, looking like movie star Steven Seagal with a ponytail, gives Gaston an over-the-top swagger, flexing his muscles proudly and flashing a smile bearing his teeth.
Every syllable Gaston utters, every move he makes seemed fresh: From the smug expression that drips from his face as he tosses people to the ground to the rough, confident manner in which he hugs Belle.
Each performance feels fresh in this third and final production, directed with the right mix of humor, enchantment and sensitivity by Sternfeld.
As the beast, Dan Folino is as ferocious as he's been the past two years, aided by the sound effect of a roar.
Folino also finds the softer, sensitive side of the beast. Without forcing anything, he pours his heart out in anguish at the Beast's struggle to make Belle like him. And when it comes time for the Beast to be gentle, Folino is as tender as a soft, juicy steak.
Tenderness prevails during the song "No Matter What," in which Belle's strange father, Maurice (an eccentric, but compassionate Bob Abelman), assures her he'll always lover her no matter what others think of her.
Natalie Green, as Belle, and Abelman, as Maurice, have tremendous chemistry; they feel completely at ease and appear loving to each other, like a daughter and father who've been close their whole life.
Green shines as Belle, playing the role with grace and conveying genuine sentiment. Her expressive eyebrows and loving voice work especially well for her. You might start crying when Belle's voice breaks as the Beast lay dying at the end.
Energetic supporting cast members each bring their own brand of eccentricity to the various castle inhabitants, who have been turned into silverware and household items, as a result of a spell.
What would a holiday show be without at least one child in the cast? Thankfully, "Beauty" has a lovable character named Chip a little boy turned into a teapot because of the same spell.
Miles Sternfeld, although in seventh grade, could pass for a younger boy, and his face is full of hope and optimism.
Redemption is an element that fits in perfectly with the holiday season, and there's plenty of it in "Beauty."
If you take your child to see one show this holiday season, make it the Beck Center's "Beauty."
You'll walk away knowing why this show ran for 5,464 performances on Broadway making it the sixth-longest running show in Broadway history.
The humor, colorful, detailed costumes and special effects will dazzle you and your child, and the lovable characters and timeless themes will leave you smiling.
No matter how many times you've seen it.
The third and final production of "Beauty and the Beast" takes the stage 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 3 p.m. Sundays; 2:30 p.m. Saturdays, as well as a 7:30 p.m. performance Dec. 29 at Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood.

Residents Upset With New Restrictions On Solar Panels
Homeowners in North Richland Hills say the city government is making it harder – not easier – to harness clean energy.
Dallas Officials Decide Not To Enter Atmos Rate Hike Fight
Bucking the trend of other North Texas cities, on Wednesday the Dallas City Council agreed to a rate hike with Atmos Energy — the natural gas supplier. It would boost the average residential bill by $2.08 a month, businesses by roughly $6.
Texas Cities Band Together To Fight Atmos Rate Increase
Dozens of cities are saying no to a request from Atmos Energy to raise monthly gas bills. The increase would add about $2 to the average household bill, but analysts for a group of cities believe that's more than double what the utility needs.
After Bitter Winter Blast, Higher Heating Bills Will Likely Arrive
First, it was the ice storm last month. This week, it's the cold snap. Many North Texans turned up their thermostats — and kept them there. After mother nature's bitter blast, residents like Bob Firth are already seeing higher heating bills.
Oncor Offering Customers Energy-Saving Trees
For Texans looking to save money on their monthly energy bills, Oncor is offering a simple solution: plant a tree.
Texas Approves Doubling Wholesale Electricity Rates
The Texas Public Utility Commission voted Thursday to raise the wholesale electricity price cap by 50 percent this summer in a move it hopes will spur construction of new power plants.

Model feature weights selected by Lasso for eleven different training data sets. Chromosomes from which 1,000,000 random nucleotide positions were taken are given at bottom. Correlation coefficients are given in the middle, using a test set that does not include any of the random nucleotide positions used in the training set. The top panel is a zoom-in of the 16 features that were weighted in more than half of the eleven runs. Weights do not directly reflect importance or proportion of the data that a feature explains, because features are unit-normalized prior to analysis, and can have dissimilar distributions.

Hotels in India
The choice of luxury hotels in India is overwhelming, as you'll find properties from all the top international brands, as well as homegrown ones like Taj and Oberoi. In the north, don't miss Wildflower Hall in Shimla, in the foothills of the Himalayas, for its historic colonial charms and breathtaking panoramic mountain views. In popular Rajasthan (aka the "Golden Triangle'), choose between resort-style properties like Oberoi's Rajvillas (in Jaipur) and Vanyavillas (near the Ranthambore tiger reserve), or historic places-turned-hotels like the floating Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur. In Agra, Oberoi Amarvillas is the only hotel with Taj Mahal views, making it one of the best hotels in India. Both Taj and Oberoi have historic properties in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai, as well.
Other urban options include the recently-opened Park Hyatt Chennai, which offers a great spa, buzzy restaurant, and popular nightclub / lounge, and the sleek, all-glass Trident Hyderabad, located in the heart of the booming HiTech City enclave.
For resort hotels in India, look into Kerala's The Park on Vembanad Lake, a combination hotel and luxury small cruise ship, at which guests can enjoy cultural activities, excellent dining, and cruises along the backwaters.
With 26 acres of landscaped gardens where peacocks display their plumage, and 76 guest rooms, including 40 raj-worthy suites the palace is purportedly one of the world's largest residences. A 105-foot central cupola sheds a golden light that appears to waft through the long corridors.
Modern Rajasthani retreat made up of well-appointed tents, villas and an Oberoi spa. The luxury tents are air-conditioned, decorated with traditional Indian block printings, and canopies woven with golden thread.
If you're looking for something less formal than a five-star hotel, this charming guesthouse is a great option.
People don't always think of The Oberoi when it comes to family travel—but they should. For starters, the rooms are known for being fairly large, and the service is both fabulous and personable.
If you want to get lost in an experience, this is the place. There's something for everyone, whether it's the barefoot dining by the pool, street-food-style cuisine from the hotel's Violet Line Metro, or the complimentary treasure hunt ands movie screenings for kids.
This 1952 building with classically decorated interiors has old-world charm, as well as the brilliant Sevilla restaurant and, in a nice contemporary nod, a temperature-controlled outdoor pool.
Trident, Gurgaon tries to keep young ones occupied so that you can let your hair down.
If hip and happening is more your thing (and you didn't blink at the mixed-case spelling of the name), then the LaLiT could be where you want to spend your nights in Delhi.
We love our palaces in India, don't we? When the upscale hotel firm the Leela Group opened this Chanakyapuri property in 2011, they gave us their take on luxury that seems to fit most naturally in a palace setting.
If you've wondered how many degrees separate you from the heads of state from around the world, check into the legendary Taj Mahal Hotel. Chances are, they'll only be three doors down.
Almost in direct contrast—aesthetically only—is this super-luxe Oberoi hotel, just past the Delhi-Gurgaon toll, which has swept the hospitality awards since it opened its tree-lined gates and torch-lit shimmering water bodies in 2011.
One of the city's oldest legacies, The Oberoi New Delhi manages to run like clockwork, but without any hint of feeling in their service. The staffers always seem to know what you want—even when all you want is a bit of space.
Think of the most tasteful friend you have, and you'll have a sense of the ambience at this cozy hotel that feels like a home. We love the family feel of the common areas, as well as home-cooked, healthy and delicious meals on request.
Located in Panschila Park, Visaya does all the usual stuff hotels do, but with a distinct ethos. Inspired by ancient, Vedic aesthetics, the hotel feels almost spa-like in the common areas.
The two guesthouses under the Bed & Chai banner are run by two French ladies who have made India home. The rooms are done with elegance: simple, but with an ethnic touch, including tea kettles found in unexpected places.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 02: Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots celebrate after teaming up for a first quarter touchdown against the New York Giants on September 2, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
FOXBORO, Mass. -- The most luxurious part of the Patriots' postseason bye week will happen Saturday and Sunday when they kick back on the couches and watch eight teams beat the crap out of each other for the right to extend their playoff lives. And the Patriots will definitely be taking advantage of it. They aren't really afforded the opportunity to watch a lot of football during the regular season, especially consecutive games at a time, which can be taken for granted. But now, they'll watch with a fan's eye and a scout's eye as they check out at least...

THE BRADLEY ESTATE, 2468B Washington St., Canton. 781-255-1996.
This historic mansion is primarily used for private functions, but the 90 acres of rolling hills and manicured grounds are well-suited for an impromptu picnic, too. "We have a lot of weddings, but people are welcome to come and walk and throw a blanket down anywhere,'' said the Trustees of Reservations' Dennis Camp. The estate also has livestock, pastures, even brochures for "quests,'' educational walks around the property.
