Looking to take the high life underground, Chinas officials are reportedly
moving their secret parties to saunas disguised as farmhouses and hiding
pricey alcohol inside water bottles.New Chinese President Xi Jinping has
warned fellow Communist party officials to cut back on spending public money,
but the People's Daily, the partys official newspaper, says some still arent
getting the message."Instead of going out to high-end restaurants, [officials]
are now eating in private clubs," it said Wednesday on its front
page, according to The Telegraph. "Is this deep-rooted habit of dining out
on public funds so hard to change?"The newspaper also said it has
received reports of officials hiding Panda cigarettes -- around $110 US
a pack -- inside Red Pagoda packets that cost only $1.50 US.Chinas

track at the hippodrome on the outskirts of the capital, Ashgabat. But
the fall was certainly a wound to the pride of the 55-year-old
Central Asian leader, whose all-powerful personality cult portrays him as
effortlessly competent.Thousands of people were in the stands for the race
that celebrated Turkmenistan's renowned desert racehorse breed, the Akhal-Teke.
But state television's video of the race cut off just before the
fall and the extensive written reports on the event didn't mention the
plunge.All domestic broadcasting in Turkmenistan is state-run; newspapers
are either state-run or under heavy government supervision. Media criticism
of the president is non-existent and elaborate praise of him is ubiquitous
in this nation of 5 million, wedged between the Caspian Sea and
Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.Turkmenistan's security agencies reportedly
went into high gear to try to block video or images of
the president's fall from slipping out to the rest of the world.
The opposition-in-exile group Gundogar cited witnesses as saying police
were carefully checking the computers, tablets, mobile phones and cameras
of departing passengers at Ashgabat's airport. The horse celebration had
attracted an array of foreign horse enthusiasts.Video obtained by The Associated
Press shows a rider falling when his horse stumbles just after crossing
the finish line
