The reasons the Republicans state will shutter the government tomorrow is opposition to health care.

However, be aware of plenty of mischief once there is no one carrying out federal authority tomorrow and until the House resolves their inability to function. There is more to this shut down than meets the eye.

Laws of the land are still in force, they will be difficult to ENFORCE tomorrow going forward.
Harry, I am proud of you!

My son is a small business operator with five young children. He is looking forward to tomorrow. 
 

PROOF. Republicans can't govern.

The US House is making a wish they got it right this time. I suppose being a Freshman never meant more.

Predicted? That is governing? That is not governing, that is politics.

Just in case the Freshmen needed an example of governing, this is it.

The President’s Fiscal Year 2014 Budget (click here) demonstrates that we can make critical investments to strengthen the middle class, create jobs, and grow the economy while continuing to cut the deficit in a balanced way....

...The Budget does all of these things as part of a comprehensive plan that reduces the deficit and puts the Nation on a sound fiscal course.  Every new initiative in the plan is fully paid for, so they do not add a single dime to the deficit.  The Budget also incorporates the President’s compromise offer to House Speaker Boehner to achieve another $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction in a balanced way.  When combined with the deficit reduction already achieved, this will allow us to exceed the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction, while growing the economy and strengthening the middle class.  By including this compromise proposal in the Budget, the President is demonstrating his willingness to make tough choices and his seriousness about finding common ground to further reduce the deficit.

It would seem as though the Giant Panda Cub program is very successful.

China to upgrade tourism industry (click here)

NANNING - He Yuhan feels both happy and disappointed while visiting Detian Waterfall on the China-Vietnam border, eleven years after her first visit. Back in 2002, the then 15-year-old girl traveled from Beijing to admire the breath-taking waterfall.
Located in Daxin county in south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, it is the biggest cross-border waterfall in Asia.
But the scenic area has not improved over the decade-long period, according to He, who thinks the local tourism industry is poor.
It took her more than three hours by bus to reach the destination after she arrived in Nanning, Guangxi's regional capital. It is exactly what happened a decade ago.
Adding to her disappointment was a lack of facilities such as restaurants and good resting areas, where the only visible change was retailers selling Vietnamese perfume.
"I could not find a good place to rest after more than two hours of walking and I had to go back to Daxin county to have supper, which is far from the scenic area," He said.

Ohio must have received debris from the larger meteor.


MOSCOW, September 30 (RIA Novosti) – A 15-meter (approximately 50 feet) asteroid, similar to the one that exploded above Russia in February, was detected hours before it narrowly missed the Earth over the weekend, Russian scientists said. 
Vladimir Lipunov of the Moscow State University and the Sternberg Astronomical Institute said on Sunday a network of telescopes operated by his team recorded a celestial body approaching the planet. 
"[The asteroid] was discovered on Friday night by our station near Lake Baikal and nine hours later it flew within 11,300 kilometers of the Earth surface, below the orbit of geostationary satellites. It was about 15 meters in size,” he said. 
The scientists originally thought that it could be a man-made object, such as a spent rocket booster, but rejected the idea when they couldn’t find a match in the space junk catalogue.... 
 
I didn't know space junk had a catalog.

...“The initial trajectory (click here) suggests it passed over Columbus, Ohio, moving slightly north of west,” Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environments Office told The Dispatch in an email. Cooke said there were some reports of sounds similar to sonic booms, which suggests some of the fireball’s fragments made it to fairly low altitudes.
NASA’s meteor camera in Ohio and Pennsylvania first detected it at 67 miles up, and it began breaking apart 41 miles above the earth. Cooke said it’s not yet certain, but it’s unlikely that the fireball produced meteorites on the ground given the “tremendous” speed at which it was moving....
