In this issue we have some good news to report. A government shutdown has been averted for at least a week via another continuing resolution (CR) (the 7th in a series). This is supposed to allow the parties to draft the language for a bill to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year, Sept 30, 2011.

Don't celebrate too quickly because we may still have to face a battle for the raising of the debt ceiling in the near future.
