As the U.S. gets closer to a debt default, lawmakers in both the House and Senate were in session on Monday's Columbus Day holiday to continue negotiations to find an agreement to raise the debt ceiling.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block. Both the House and the Senate were in session today as the country closes in on the debt ceiling deadline. If Congress doesn't raise the debt limit before Thursday, the White House says the country will likely begin defaulting on its obligations. President Obama postponed a meeting with congressional leaders this afternoon.
A White House statement says that allows Senate leaders more time to continue making important progress toward a solution that raises the debt limit and reopens the government. Joining us now is NPR's congressional reporter Ailsa Chang and Ailsa, the spin from that statement from the White House seems to indicate that this indicates progress, that this is a good thing that the meeting was postponed.
AILSA CHANG, BYLINE: It probably is a good sign. I mean, it feels like over the last day maybe day and a half a glimmer of light is finally peeking through. Earlier today, the president expressed his optimism, at least on the Senate side of things. He was making sandwiches at a nonprofit called Martha's Table when he said he's seen real progress on the Senate Republican side, that there seems to be a real understanding default is just not an option.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: There's been some progress in recognizing that we're not going to be able to completely bridge the differences between the parties all at once and so it doesn't make sense in the meantime to try to use a shutdown or the threat of default as leverage in negotiations.
BLOCK: Well, Ailsa, as these negotiations continue on the Senate side, what's the word? Have there been any breakthroughs?
CHANG: Not quite yet, but both Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell say an agreement between them will materialize within days. The two men actually have had a chilly relationship lately. It's been months since they've tried to sit down face to face and work out a deal so it was a promising sign when they started talking on Saturday. Here's how Reid summed up the tenor of those talks on the floor today.
SENATOR HARRY REID: I'm very optimistic and we will reach an agreement that's reasonable in nature this week to reopen the government, pay the nation's bill and begin long-term negotiations to put our country on sound fiscal footing. I deeply appreciate my friend, the Minority Leader, for his diligent efforts to come to an agreement.
CHANG: And McConnell reciprocated that goodwill, saying he, too, was confident a deal would be reached.
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: We've had an opportunity over the last couple of days to have some very constructive exchanges of views about how to move forward. And those discussions continue and I share his optimism that we're going to get a result that will be acceptable to both sides.
BLOCK: And I'm trying to read between the lines there, Ailsa, but in the middle of that optimism, what are the sticking points between these two leaders in the Senate?
CHANG: Well, neither leader is commenting specifically on any aspect of the deal as it's taking shape right now. McConnell's office tells me the details are constantly changing, but the talks do seem to be focusing on reopening the government through the end of the year and raising the debt ceiling into 2014.
Now, for how long will the debt ceiling be raised, it's still not clear right now. There also may be some concessions to Republicans on the Affordable Care Act. One thing that's been considered is a delay of the tax on medical devices, which helps fund the healthcare law and it's likely that any such deal would also set up a framework for a larger negotiation on other budget issues like cutting entitlement spending.
But whatever agreements Senate leaders come to would still, of course, need to get through the House.
BLOCK: OK. NPR's Ailsa Chang. Ailsa, thanks so much.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook is now allowing teenagers to share their posts on the social network with anyone on the Internet, raising the risks of minors leaving a digital trail that could lead to trouble.
The change announced Wednesday affects Facebook users who list their ages as 13 to 17.
Until now, Facebook users falling within that age group had been limited to sharing information and photos only with their own friends or friends of those friends.
The new policy will give teens the choice of switching their settings so their posts can be accessible to the general public. That option already has been available to adults, including users who are 18 or 19.
As a protective measure, Facebook will warn minors opting to be more open that they are exposing themselves to a broader audience. The caution will repeat before every post, as long as the settings remain on "public."
The initial privacy settings of teens under 18 will automatically be set so posts are seen only by friends. That's more restrictive than the previous default setting that allowed teens to distribute their posts to friends of their friends in the network.
In a blog post, Facebook said it decided to revise its privacy rules to make its service more enjoyable for teens and to provide them with a more powerful megaphone when they believe they have an important point to make or a cause to support.
"Teens are among the savviest people using social media, and whether it comes to civic engagement, activism, or their thoughts on a new movie, they want to be heard," Facebook wrote.
The question remains whether teens understand how sharing their thoughts or pictures of their activities can come back to haunt them, said Kathryn Montgomery, an American University professor of communications who has written a book about how the Internet affects children.
"On the one hand, you want to encourage kids to participate in the digital world, but they are not always very wise about how they do it," she said. "Teens tend to take more risks and don't always understand the consequences of their behavior."
The relaxed standards also may spur teens to spend more time on Facebook instead of other services, such as Snapchat, that are becoming more popular hangouts among younger people. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, though, says that the company's internal data shows its social network remains a magnet for teens.
Giving people more reasons to habitually visit its social network is important to Facebook because a larger audience helps sell more of the ads that generate most of the Menlo Park, Calif., company's revenue.
"What this is really about is maximizing the kind of sharing at the heart of Facebook's business model," Montgomery said. She worries that unleashing teens to share more about themselves to a general audience will enable advertisers to collect more personal data about minors "who aren't aware that their movements and interests are under a digital microscope."
Facebook hasn't disclosed how many of its nearly 1.2 billon users are teens. The social network was initially limited to college students when Zuckerberg started it in 2004, but he opened the service to a broader audience within a few years.
The teen audience is large enough to give Facebook periodic headaches. As its social network has steadily expanded, Facebook has had to combat sexual predators and bullies who prey upon children.
Facebook doesn't allow children under 13 to set up accounts on its service but doesn't have a reliable way to verify users' ages.
The company is decorating the windows of San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center to match the design on press invites sent out for an event on October 22.
Here's a sight that's become familiar for Apple events of late: colors.
Apple is decorating the windows of the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco ahead of a special media event it has planned for next Tuesday. The design, revealed in images sent to blog site MacRumors, is a deluge of autumn leaves amidst a single Apple logo. It matches the pattern on invitations the company sent out to media outlets this week.
The October 22 event is expected to bring a variety of announcements, including new models of the iPad and iPad Mini, updates on Macs, and a price and release date for OS X Mavericks.
The facade of Apple's Cupertino, Calif., headquarters was similarly as bright last month when the company invited press and guests in to announce its two new iPhones, the 5S and the 5C -- the latter of which comes in a slew of colors.
Be sure to catch CNET's coverage of next week's event.
3D images generated from PET/CT scans help surgeons envision tumors

(PHILADELPHIA) Researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have developed a hologram-like display of a patient's organs that surgeons can use to plan surgery. This approach uses molecular PET/CT images of a patient to rapidly create a 3D image of that patient, so that surgeons can see the detailed anatomical structure, peel away layers of tissue, and move around in space to see all sides of a tumor, before entering the operating room to excise it.
"Our technology presents PET/CT data in an intuitive manner to help physicians make critical decisions during surgical planning," said first author Matthew Wampole, Ph.D., from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Jefferson. The researchers produced a surgical simulation of human pancreatic cancer reconstructed from a patient's PET scans and contrast-enhanced CT scans. Six Jefferson surgeons evaluated the 3D model for accuracy, usefulness, and applicability of the model to actual surgical experience.
The surgeons reported that the 3D imaging technique would help in planning an operation. Furthermore, the surgeons indicated that the 3D image would be most useful if it were accessible in the operating room during surgery. The 3D image is designed to speed the excision of malignant tissue, avoiding bleeding from unusually placed arteries or veins, according to the report published September 24th in PLOS ONE.
Surgery depends on palpating and manipulating tissues in the operating room environment. Currently, surgeons only use flat CT images and their imagination to envision the anatomy surrounding the lesion to be excised, with the help of their individual experience and judgment. The 3D image promises to eliminate complications frequently presented during surgery due to unexpected anatomical complexity.
A sense of touch and feel will be added with haptic manipulators to the 3D visual image during the next step of development. That will provide a realistic environment to clearly understand an individual patient's anatomy and pathology, and to accurately plan and rehearse that patient's operation.

The first time you see this latest picture of Saturn, you'll probably think it's fake. The rings are too perfectly round. The swirling surface of the planet is too smooth. The shadows are too sharp. But it's all real, thanks to the Cassini spacecraft and a Croatian software developer with too much time on his hands.
The image you see below is a brilliant, high definition composite of images that Cassini took when it flew by Saturn on October 10. The 36 shots amounted to 12 taken with a green filter, 12 with blue and 12 with red to approximate true color. It does better than approximate. In the days that followed, Gordan Ugarkovic, the aforementioned Croation software developer, pieced the 36 images into one massive 4000 x 3200 pixel mosaic, and since he's tinkered with space images before, Ugarkovic does a great job smoothing out the seams:
S
As Slate's Phil Plait points out, the extraordinary detail affords unique looks at the blue-tinged hexagonal polar vortex as well as a white band in the northern hemisphere that appears to be the remnants of a massive storm that rocked the planet last year. The rings are also profoundly well defined from the dark A ring on the outside to the faint C ring in the very middle. The B ring looks like the grooves of a tan-colored record. You can even see how light from the rings is reflected onto the planet's dark side.
Turns out 2013 has been a pretty good year for photographing Saturn. On July 19, Cassini captured this dramatic shot of Saturn and a few of its moons. (Fun fact: Saturn has at least 62 moons in total.) It almost feels like abstract art. [Discover, Slate]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Furloughed U.S. government workers returned to their jobs on Thursday, greeted with doughnuts, coffee, pep talks from Obama administration bosses and anxiety over whether they will face another shutdown threat in the new year.
"I'm glad this whole thing is behind us and to be able to go back to work," Mike McParland, who works for USAID's Food for Peace program, said en route to his office. "I just hope they find a way forward before January so we don't have to go through this again."
Washington's renewed morning rush hour, the first after 16 days of government shutdown, came less than 12 hours after President Barack Obama signed a last-minute bill to fund the government through January 15 and extend its borrowing authority through February 7.
Vice President Joe Biden brought trans fat-free muffins to federal workers entering the Environmental Protection Agency, where about 94 percent of staff had been furloughed.
"These guys not only took a hit and ... (had) the anxiety of knowing whether they'd get back or paid," Biden said. "But now they're back, and they've got all that work piled up so they've got a lot to do so I'm not going to hold them up very long."
At the Agriculture Department, Secretary Tom Vilsack offered coffee and encouragement to returning employees, directing them to free doughnuts available inside the agency's massive building on Independence Avenue.
Most of the Pentagon's civilian employees returned to work, and heard from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a statement.
"To those returning from furlough: know that the work you perform is incredibly valued by your military teammates and by me," Hagel wrote. "I appreciate your professionalism and your patience during this difficult period of time."
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew offered workers a similar message: "I know how difficult this was for staff who worked tirelessly during the shutdown ... (and) for everyone who wanted to be here to continue performing their duties with exceptional skill and dedication."
ANOTHER SHUTDOWN IN JANUARY? 'I HOPE NOT'
The U.S. World War II Memorial on Washington's central Mall, a flashpoint for anger over the forced closure of national monuments and parks, opened early on Thursday, as a park employee in hip boots waded into the fountain to clean it.
Robert Marimon, a 91-year-old retired electrical engineer and World War Two veteran from Avon Lake, Ohio, said this was his planned first stop on a U.S. capital visit, and he would have been disappointed if it had been closed.
"If it was closed, I was planning to try to get over the barriers one way or another," he said.
"I think it was pretty bad," Marimon said of the shutdown. "Personally, I think both parties, everybody, should have been able to get together way before this."
Asked about a possible repetition in January, he replied, "It sounds like it, but I hope not."
The U.S. Senate's 200-year-old Ohio Clock started ticking again on Thursday, wound for the first time since the shutdown began on October 1. It froze in place at 12:14 p.m. on October 9 because the specialists who normally wind it were among the 800,000 federal employees sent home.
Most of the Smithsonian Institution's museums and other facilities re-opened on Thursday, including the National Zoo's popular online Panda Cam, though traffic was so heavy that it took some doing to see it at http://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/webcams/giant-panda.cfm
. The zoo itself re-opens on Friday.
