Visitors look toward the Ohio Clock outside the Senate Chamber on Capitol Hill Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013, in Washington. The Ohio Clock has stood watch over the Senate for 196 years. It stopped running shortly after noon Wednesday. Employees in the Office of the Senate Curator ordinarily wind the clock weekly. But they are among the thousands of federal employees furloughed under the partial shutdown. The federal government remains partially shut down and faces a first-ever default between Oct. 17 and the end of the month. ( AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)
