On Wednesday, good sense prevailed between the Republicans and the Democrats because a bipartisan solution had been hammered together. This allowed the US Senate to vote 81-18 to pass legislation to raise the nation's borrowing limit and reopen the government through January 15, 2014 as well as suspend the debt ceiling through February 07, 2014. The House then followed this up by favorably voting 285-144. And on Thursday, President Barack Obama signed the bill. Americans shouldn't celebrate just yet because it is only a temporary fix.
Today, Celtic almost suffered their first domestic defeat of the season to Hibernian when Paul Heffernan fired a 16-minute opener after a rebound fell to the Hibs striker in an offside position. With only thirteen minutes remaining, did James Forrest's beautiful curling drive leveled this Scottish Premiership game for Celtic and they breathed a big sigh of relief. Both teams had to contend with one point each with this 1-1 draw.
It wasn't any better with Liverpool either. They were lucky to escape with a 2-2 draw against Newcastle. Yohan Cabaye stunned the Reds with a superb 30-yard strike in the twenty-third minute to put the Magpies ahead but nineteen minutes later, Steven Gerrard equalized from the spot after Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was sent-off for a foul on Luis Suarez. Paul Dummett's far-post shot (56) restored Newcastle's lead only for Daniel Sturridge to nod the Reds level again (72).
