Sep 6th 2013, 23:21, by webdesk@voanews.com (Cindy Saine)

With large numbers of both Republicans and Democratics saying they don't want the U.S. to get involved in another war, the wording of an authorization could be critical in efforts to win the support the president needs. President Obama is facing a hard sell and experts say if ...

The 20-day Rim Fire is expected to burn another two weeks, they added. The blaze has blackened about 246,350 acres (99,694 hectares), or 385 square miles, of timber and chaparral in the rugged northern California forests since it broke out on Aug. 17. ...

Sep 5th 2013, 20:32, by webdesk@voanews.com (Michael Bowman)

U.S. intelligence on Syria presented to senators in secret Thursday strengthened the resolve of those already backing a military strike but failed to lead wavering lawmakers to declare their support.

Considering a New Head for the US Fed
Sep 5th 2013, 21:09, by webdesk@voanews.com (Jim Randle)

The economist who guided the world's largest economy through the worst financial crisis in decades is expected to step down early next year.  The financial press is filled with speculation about who will take over from Ben Bernanke, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve, as the U.S central bank is known. There are many possible candidates, but most of the speculation focuses on just two. President Obama appointed Ben Bernanke to a second term as head of the Federal Reserve in ...

Power: No Viable Syria Path Via Security Council
Sep 5th 2013, 20:57, by webdesk@voanews.com (Margaret Besheer)

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power declared Thursday that the United States has abandoned efforts to work with the United Nations Security Council on Syria and accused Russia of holding the 15-nation panel "hostage."   Addressing news media following a briefing of Security Council members on U.S. intelligence regarding an August 21 chemical attack in Damascus that killed 1,400 civilians, Power said she sees "no viable path forward" on the Syria crisis ...

Does the US Have Leverage Over Egypt's Military?
Sep 5th 2013, 20:14, by webdesk@voanews.com (Andre de Nesnera)

Two months after the military ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, U.S. officials are still trying to figure out just how much leverage they have to influence events in the largest Arab nation.   The assessment comes as Egypt's interim leaders say they are pressing ahead to set up a transition to civilian rule and as Washington is reviewing the level of its aid package to Cairo.   The army deposed Morsi, a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood, on July 3, a year after he ...

Olympics-Baseball/Softball Hope for Last-minute Olympic Home Run
Sep 5th 2013, 21:42, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)

Outsider sports, baseball and softball, bidding to rejoin the Olympics as one sport, are hoping to reel in International Olympic Committee [IOC] votes on Saturday with a financial lure. The two sports, excluded from the Olympics in a 2005 vote, have since merged into one federation to boost their chances of re-entering the Olympics in 2020. But with frontrunners wrestling - cut from the 2020 Games program in February only to make the shortlist - and squash battling for inclusion, the ...
