If there is no deal by midnight Friday, when the current spending authorization measure expires, parts of the government will close down. Obama called the 90-minute talks with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, "constructive" and he said they narrowed and clarified the outstanding issues. "I remain confident that if we're serious about getting something done, we should be able to complete a deal and get it passed and avert a shutdown," Obama said in brief remarks to reporters. "But it's going to require a sufficient sense of urgency from all parties involved" to prevent a shutdown that "could have real effects on everyday Americans."

Despite all the political turmoil, it seems likely that @placeholder's election will go forward next month, and voters will be faced with relatively clear choices. | (CNN) -- Egypt's presidential race has been a political roller coaster. After banning 10 candidates earlier this month, the country's election commission banned and unbanned this week yet another well-known candidate, former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, although the constitutional court is still reviewing that decision. The remaining front-runners for president speak a similar language on the need for economic reform and political transition, but they hold very different positions on the role of Islam in a new Egypt. In this sense, the presidential election will be an important indicator of how much weight Egyptians give to Islam as a factor in their political life. It will not be the only factor in their decision, which will no doubt turn on questions of personality and name recognition as much as anything. But a vote for a candidate with more conservative Islamist leanings -- and there is evidence of strong support for such candidates -- will likely influence the writing of the constitution, with potential for a long-lasting impact on the rights of minorities and women in particular.

Further, the current credit freeze is likely due to @placeholder's hope of a bailout; bankers will not sell their lousy assets for 20 cents on the dollar if the government might pay 30, 50, or 80 cents. | Editor's note: Jeffrey A. Miron is senior lecturer in economics at Harvard University. A Libertarian, he was one of 166 academic economists who signed a letter to congressional leaders last week opposing the government bailout plan. Economist Jeffrey Miron says the bailout plan presented to Congress was the wrong solution to the crisis CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Congress has balked at the Bush administration's proposed $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. Under this plan, the Treasury would have bought the "troubled assets" of financial institutions in an attempt to avoid economic meltdown. This bailout was a terrible idea. Here's why.

On the @placeholder, the average sniper managed to fire his rifle no more than 15 to 20 times before being killed. | By Guy Walters One shot, one kill: Since World War One snipers have gone from hate figures to heroes When the fresh-faced 19-year-old arrived on the Eastern Front in August 1943, his new comrades were delighted. For several days, the entire company of the 144th Mountain Troop Regiment of the German Army had been pinned down by a solitary Russian sniper. It was the job of the new arrival ‘to get him off our backs’. The young man, an Austrian by the name of Sepp Allerberger, was led to a parapet of logs that formed the edge of the trench. Squinting through a gap, he could see nothing suspicious in No Man’s Land.

The pamphlet promoted vacation without humiliation. On that trip in the 1950s, Green journeyed the 1,000 miles from Arkansas to Virginia with his mother, aunt and brother to attend his sister's college graduation. His aunt and mother used the travel guide to plot the entire trip. "It was one of the survival tools of segregated life," Green says. Ernest Green became a symbol of the civil rights movement as one of the Little Rock Nine, a group of African-American students who braved death threats and harassment to become the first black students at Central High School in the Arkansas state capital in 1957.

@placeholder aides from both parties and outside congressional observers agree that political positioning for the upcoming 2016 presidential and congressional elections will likely dominate the day-to-day workings of the Senate, | Washington (CNN) -- Voters who are fed up with endless gridlock might be disappointed if they expect a Senate now controlled by Republicans to change things. One congressional expert put it bluntly: "The basic factors causing [gridlock] are not gone," said James Thurberfrom, a professor at American University. "So it is likely that we will have a lot of delay and stalemate in the Senate." The stark reality is Republicans don't have the 60 votes they need to overcome Democratic filibusters, making it hard to pass many of their priorities.
