With the clock ticking towards a midnight deadline to keep the government open, leaders have delayed a vote on a massive spending package as they scramble to find enough bipartisan support to pass it. The delay came hours after the measure barely cleared a procedural hurdle to keep it alive. After GOP leaders postponed a scheduled 2pm ET vote, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi - who opposes the inclusion of two provisions of the bill - told fellow Democrats they have increased their leverage to amend the legislation and strip out portions they dislike. http://nbcnews.to/12Tor7i http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

The world's oceans may contain about 10 times more plastic than the most recent studies suggest. The new figure estimates that the oceans hold more than 250,000 tons of trash, a number vastly different from a past estimate, which suggested the oceans' plastic is mysteriously disappearing . Scientists arrived at the new number by combining visual estimates of trash volume with data collected from trawling the oceans with nets. That's according to study co-author Markus Eriksen, director of research for the 5 Gyres Institute , an organization aiming to understand the plastic pollution in the ocean. http://on.mash.to/1yF2y4X http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

China to CyberAttack USA Power Grid per NSA. According to the NSA director, Admiral Michael Rogers, the USA is helpless against a cyber-attack on it's electrical power grid by Chinese hackers. The electric power grid vulnerability is high in the USA. Any savvy person should have alternative power sources in case of a widespread electrical power outage. Portable gas and diesel generators would be a temporary solution, but could make a huge difference, especially if such a power failure came in the winter time. Actually, events that sometimes occur, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and ice and snow storms have interrupted the power at times. Having some emergency power can be a matter of life and death, in certain situations.

The Obama administration said on Thursday that falling oil prices are helping the U.S. economy and are unlikely to lead to a reduction in production at the country's shale oil fields. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in an interview in New York that was broadcast by network CNBC, "Lower oil prices are like a tax cut for the economy so in terms of the macroeconomic impact it's net a positive." He said America's energy boom means falling oil prices do have some economic drawbacks, but that this is unlikely to affect the level of output in the burgeoning shale energy sector. Lew also said, "For the shale projects, I don't expect you're going to see a reduction in production." http://bit.ly/1wEweUt http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
