US Government shutdown and debt to get out of the crisis would still be solution. President Barack Obama on Tuesday, the House Republican proposal is a kind of ' ransom ' were rejected.

White House spokeswoman Amy brands, have been saying repeatedly that the President's budget for repaying to pass responsibility to play MP do not ask for ransom. Unfortunately, House Republican's latest offer is the same.

Key equities index

As analysts had feared, the bull run lost steam just after two successive sessions and Indian equities markets once again came under a severe bear grip Tuesday with a key share index shedding nearly 700 points at close to finish below the psychologically important 10,000 mark.
This was the largest single day loss in recent weeks, analysts said.
"The very low turnovers over Monday and Friday when the markets ended higher indicated that there was no energy or enthusiasm in the upward rally and markets would again head south sooner than later," said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, head of the capital markets arm of India's fourth largest share brokerage firm, the Delhi-based SMC Group.
The 30-share benchmark sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) finished at 9,839.69, down 696.47 points or 6.61 percent from its previous close Monday at 10,536.16 points.
The Sensex opened weak at 10,405.39, down 130.77 points or 1.24 percent from its previous close and continued to fall to hit an intra-day low of 9,799.45 before inching back a bit to its final closing value.
The broader-based 50 share S&P CNX Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) also showed a similar trend and closed at 2938.65, down 209.6 points or 6.66 percent from its previous close Monday at 3148.25 points.
The BSE midcap index finished at 3,356.70, down 118.39 points or 3.41 percent from its previous close at 3,475.09 points.
The BSE smallcap index closed at 3,888.01, down 100.02 points or 2.51 percent from its previous close at 3,988.03 points.
All the 13 sectoral indices ended in the red with realty, metal, power and capital goods stocks taking the most beating.
Among the 30 stocks that make up the Sensex only one scrip - ITC - ended showing a marginal gain of 0.06 percent.
The biggest losers were Jaiprakash Associates, down 12.21 percent followed by Sterlite Industries, down 11.03 percent, Tata Steel, down 10.98 percent and Hindalco Industries, shedding 10.18 percent.
As many as 1,766 stocks or 67.87 percent declined, 759 stocks or 29.17 percent advanced and 77 stocks or 2.96 percent remained unchanged.
US markets had closed with losses overnight with the key index of the New York Stock Exchange finishing 1.19 percent down and the Nasdaq closing 1.86 percent down.
Tuesday morning the Nikkei, key index of the Tokyo Stock Exchange down 0.60 percent. The Hang Seng, key index of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, however, was showing a gain of 0.34 percent.
So, sentiment was negative when markets opened Tuesday. Short selling and bear pressure continued throughout the day, analysts said.
"New casualties of the global financial tsunami are being exposed on a daily basis and the crisis is clearly far from over so this kind of crash is only to be expected," said Thunuguntla.
"In the US two more commercial banks went bankrupt Friday bringing the total tally of bankrupt US commercial banks to 19 apart from the investment banks that declared bankruptcy," Thunguntla said.
Similarly, D. Carnegie & Co. AB, the 205-year-old Swedish investment bank, had its license revoked Monday by the country's regulator and will be put under supervision of the national debt office.
Carnegie took "exceptional risks" awarding loans, the watchdog said while revoking its license. "So no one seems to be safe," Thunuguntla said adding even the iconic General Motors (GM) is as good as bankrupt.
The Deutsche Bank has downgraded GM and in a capital markets report has said that the bank has set a zero dollar target for the company's share price.
"That effectively means Deutsche Bank thinks that even if GM is not filing for bankruptcy, it is as good as bankrupt and its shares are worthless," Thunuguntla said. Another iconic US company Ford Motor is also facing a similar situation.
There is no end to the bad news, he said pointing out that the US mortgage firm Fannie Mae has reported a quarterly loss of $29 billion. "That is a huge loss for a single quarter by any standards," he said.
Circuit City, the second-biggest electronics retailer in the United States, filed for Chapter 11 protection Monday and said that it would dismiss a fifth of its workforce.
Circuit City, which has 776 outlets and $5 billion in assets, admitted that it had been taken off-guard by the speed of the consumer slowdown.
It said that big electronics companies had effectively pulled the plug on it by withdrawing credit lines and insisting that they be paid up front.
News about the domestic economy is also not heartening, analysts said. Exports had been affected and will continue to fall, they said.
There were clear signs of a severe slowdown even in India, demand is shrinking, companies are cutting jobs and there are really no feel good factors anywhere, analysts said.
"It is not an easy time for anybody," they said.
The only good news is the Chinese revival package of $586 billion, a figure that is nearly 15 percent of that country's gross domestic product (GDP).
"In 1990, during the Asian crisis, China had announced a similar revival package but then its size was just 1.5 percent of the country's GDP," Thunuguntla said, adding: "It shows how seriously the Chinese are taking the current situation."
"The other good thing about the package is that it is aimed at increasing economic activity by creating jobs, creating demand and directly boosting the real economy unlike in the US where money is being pumped into near bankrupt banks without really stimulating the economy," he said.
"President-elect Barack Obama may also announce something similar but he can do so only after Jan 20 - till then the US economy has to fend for itself and that is not very reassuring," he said.

reveal Mercury

The first pictures from the unseen side of Mercury reveal the wrinkles of a shrinking, aging planet with scars from volcanic eruptions and a birthmark shaped like a spider.
Some of the 1,213 photos taken by NASA's Messenger probe and unveiled Wednesday help support the case that ancient volcanoes dot Mercury and that it is shrinking as it gets older, forming wrinkle-like ridges. But other images are surprising and puzzling.
The spidery shape captured in a photo is "unlike anything we've seen anywhere in the solar system," said mission chief scientist Sean Solomon of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The image shows what looks like a large crater with faint lines radiating out from it.
Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has often been compared to Earth's dull black-and-white moon. But the new photos, which reveal parts of Mercury never seen, show the tiny planet is more colorful and once had volcanic activity.
With the help of NASA high-tech enhancement, Messenger photos showed baby blues and dark reds.
"It has very subtle red and blue areas," said instrument scientist Louise Prockter of Johns Hopkins University, which runs the Messenger mission for NASA. "Mercury doesn't look like the moon."
The last time a NASA spacecraft went to Mercury was Mariner 10 in 1975. It took pictures of just 45 percent of the planet.
Messenger, which will do a couple more flybys of the planet before going into a long-term orbit, already has taken pictures of another 30 percent of Mercury, Prockter said. The rest will be seen eventually.
Planetary scientist Robert Strom, who was part of both the Mariner 10 and Messenger teams, said, "This is a whole new planet we're looking at."
And Prockter noted "there are some features we haven't been able to explain yet."
Example No. 1 is what scientists are calling "the spider." It is in the middle of a basin formed billions of years ago when space junk bombarded an infant Mercury.
Mariner had only seen part of the crater. When Messenger took a look with sharper cameras and a better angle, it photographed this odd central plateau jutting up, about half a mile high with dozens of tiny ridges radiating out.
It is as if "something is pushed up," said MIT planetary scientist Maria Zuber, who is part of the science team.
Prockter guessed that it could be remnants of a volcano. Other scientists think the leg-like features could be the same ridges seen all over Mercury.
First seen in the 1970s, the ridges now seen more widely provide evidence that Mercury is contracting, the scientists said.
Scientists had theorized that as the core of Mercury cools, it contracts and the whole planet shrinks. That was even a 19th Century theory for why Earth had mountains, but one that later proven wrong, Solomon said. But with Mercury that seems to be the case. As the planet shrinks, a bit of crust is pushed over another, forming what Prockter calls "wrinkle ridges."
Besides having what looks like the leftovers from volcanoes, Mercury has at least one crater that seems to be filled with what would be that planet's version of lava, Prockter said.
NASA launched the $446 million Messenger on its nearly 5 billion-mile mission in 2004. It will fly by Mercury two more times, this October and September 2009, before settling into orbit around in 2011. Messenger will take pictures, measure the planet's tenuous atmosphere, hills and valleys and unusual magnetic field — Mercury is the only solar system planet other than Earth to have a magnetosphere.
Quirky Mercury is one of the bigger question marks in the solar system, probed not nearly as much as Mars, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn.
Strom, a retired University of Arizona scientist who worked on Mariner 10, said that as he awaited Messenger's flyby earlier this month, "I couldn't sleep at all. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve."
Only he had to wait 30 years for his presents. It was worth it, he said: "What I saw was astounding to me."

Making Meetings Work

An Indian panel will agree rules governing the award of future telecoms licences in 10 days, the telecoms minister said on Thursday.
About 30 firms have submitted around 300 applications to set up telecoms services in the world's hottest wireless market, where low call rates and rising incomes are spurring breakneck growth.
The committee, set up by the government, has been charged with scrutinising the applications.
"The report will be submitted in 10 days," the minister, A. Raja, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference.
Among those interested in getting licences are real-estate firms such as DLF, Unitech and Parsvnath Developers, and diversified group Videocon Industries.
Raja said that by 2010 India would have one rural mobile phone user for every five urban subscribers, up from one for every 25 now.
Local and global wireless carriers are looking to expand in India and the country's patchwork of relatively untapped villages - home to hundreds of millions of people - are seen as a major driver of future growth.
U.S. phone company AT&T Inc. said on Monday its Indian unit had applied for licences to provide services in India in association with its local partner Mahindra Telecommunications Private Ltd.
Vodafone Group Plc, the world's second-biggest mobile firm, earlier this year paid $11.1 billion for a controlling stake in Hutchison Essar, since renamed Vodafone Essar, from Hong Kong-based Hutchison Telecom International.
India will invite bids to set up 10,000 towers in rural areas, in the second phase of the government's thrust to improve rural teledensity, Telecoms Secretary D.S. Mathur said.
The local telecoms market is divided into 23 zones and applicants are allowed to seek licences for some or all of these.
