Deficit super committee faces rough start in Washington
The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction has under 100 days to craft 1.5 trillion dollars in cuts. It lacks a meeting room staff director or clear rules. Senators Patty Murray and Jeb Hensarling lead a 12 member panel racing to convene by Sept. 16 and push for bipartisanship amid high stakes and political pressure.

Deadly Pittsburgh flood blamed on heavy rain and traffic
Four people died as flash flooding overwhelmed Pittsburgh streets during rush hour. A mother and her two daughters trapped in a car perished, another woman was swept into the Allegheny River, and drivers clung to roofs or swam to safety. Water surged through Washington Boulevard as 3 to 4 inches of rain fell, tearing up manhole covers and testing an aging sewer system.
