Naresh – It’s a fact: There’s a group of House Republicans actually willing to sabotage our economy to make a political point. Right now, they’re refusing to pass a budget by the September 30th deadline — letting the government shut down — unless Congress decides to defund all of Obamacare, too. The most cynical part is that they’re willing to risk delaying new Social Security benefits and student loans, military pay, and other government services — all in the name of re-fighting a political battle they lost three years ago. Only House leaders have the power to stand up to these bullies and work on a smart budget. Join the people fighting back against this nonsense — tell Speaker Boehner enough already. When it comes to describing this kind of behavior, words fail me. Under other circumstances, I might call this a tantrum — but that doesn’t begin to approach how high these stakes are. Shutting down our government is not a rhetorical bargaining chip or a valid policy

Egypt extends state of emergency 13 09 2013 Egypt has extended the state of emergency by another two months. The night long curfew in 14 Governorates or states will continue to be in place. Egyptian President Adly Mansour’s office said that the step has been taken in the wake of continuing turmoil in the country and the assaults on public and private property, as well as, killings by extremist groups. Emergency was clamped last month in the country after hundreds died during the clearing of protest camps in support of the ousted President, Mohammed Mursi. The Egyptian Government has, by and large, been able to contain the violence in the recent past, but a failed assassination attempt on the Interior Minister and attacks by the Islamist militants in Sinai over security forces, has raised concerns about the security situation in the country.

Arjun Singh Chaudhri fashions remarkable come-from-behind win 13 09 2013 Forest Hills Golf Resort, Karoran, Mohali, September 12, 2013:  NoidaⳊArjun Singh Chaudhri claimed his third professional title with a remarkable come-from-behind victory at the Forest Hills Golf Resort in Karoran situated in Mohali district of Punjab. Chaudhri posted a one-over-71 in the third and final round to total three-under-207 at the third event of the 2013 PGTI Feeder Tour season. Delhiâ³ Honey Baisoya carded an even-par-70 on Thursday to finish as the runner-up at one-under-209. Arjun Singh Chaudhri (65-71-71), who enjoyed an overnight three-shot lead, had a terrible start to the day as he bogeyed the second, fifth and eighth due to some poor hitting. He thus conceded a two-shot lead to Honey Baisoya at the end of nine holes. The 34-year-old Chaudhri then rallied with a birdie on the 10 th  and a good par-save with a chip-putt on the 12 th . Arjun was back on level terms with Baisoya after th
