We had and most of the meetings i went to were with industry, so it was really fun. Large industries as well as small.

Deal or no deal, congress is working on doing deals aimed at ending the Government Shutdown and averting default. Speaker john boehner has reportedly stopped talking to the white house. Reporter on the house side its over for the day. So were going to come back to the house in a minute. We have more on the senate. We have comments from harry reid, the majority leader, saying the negotiations in the house on the issue of raising the debt ceilings, im talking about raising the debt ceiling.

The monster cyclone phailin heading state for the state of odissa. Hundreds of thousands taken to government shelters. Tourists have left beaches. Phailin is so large its the size of france.

River of no return. It is beyondcataclysmic. Move over to the senate where the it belongs. I expect my Senate Colleagues to be up for the battle. Ready for battle, from business insider. Seizing support from the stimulus. It reminds me of this. Whew some fun, huh, bambi . Taking that first step as we know is never easy. Eventually you have to. Someone has to arrive. Just not now, i guess. And, you know, with all the unt certainty in washington, seems that played a huge role in bernankes decision. The first time Ben Bernankes ever been compared to bambi.
