...last year's The Dark Knight. Add the $200 million or so that this Armageddon for machines picked up in foreign theaters over the same stretch, and you have a $400 million world domination. (We'll add just one more $200 million figure: that's what this T2 cost to produce.) (See pictures of cinema's most memorable robots...
...whining. Mayor Alvarez insisted this month that "it's almost impossible that we can achieve an acceptable budget" without a property-tax increase. But because Miami-Dade residents saw so much official profligacy during the housing bubble - county commissioners were famous for having cops chauffeur them around town, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in police overtime - Alvarez's suggestion is being met instead by calls to further streamline the county's bloated bureaucracy...
...article did include a hopeful caveat to this dire picture, however. As Rehm says, "We [now] know more than ever about which strategies can effectively control alcohol-related harms."

To keep conservative Democrats on board - especially those in the coal-heavy Midwest and Southeast - Waxman and Markey allowed the bill to be watered down considerably, loosening the overall carbon cap and scaling back the renewable-energy standard. When the powerful farm lobby balked at the bill, it was changed to allow farmers to sell offsets from agriculture, such as no-till farming, which leaves...
