      Cool story! Thanks for sharing it, bella!

      “Dad,” Wales told his father, Gary, afterward, “I talked to the first lady and the Secret Service didn’t slam me to the floor.” :-D

    PBO just sent a text saying that the blue moon should not be an excuse to drink and act up, but an opportunity to reflect, make amends, give back, and heal.

      Interesting how the negotiators did not refer to it as failed…interesting that one word from a reporter can color your point of view about an issue…this is the Power of the media

      ******************

      This is part of what the statement says:

      Lahaina, HI - We, the trade ministers of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States, and Vietnam announce that, after more than a week of productive meetings, we have made significant progress and will continue work on resolving a limited number of remaining issues, paving the way for the conclusion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations…

    This may have been posted already (so apologies for duplicate), but it’s such a heartwarming story I had to post it here:

    HEADLINE: Artist Draws 54 Sketches of Obama for His 54th Birthday

    // SAN JOSE, Calif. – Graphic artist Arvind Kotha has prepared a unique present for President Barack Obama’s 54th birthday on Aug. 4. The Indian American immigrant, who has lived in the United States since 2007, has created 54 sketches of the president, showcasing his many accomplishments while in office.

    Kotha said he tried to capture the mood and emotions of Obama as the president grapples with the many challenges of the nation.
    “I have always been inspired by the president’s great courage and leadership,” said Kotha, who worked on this present for nine months. He has also contacted White House staff in an attempt to meet the president and personally present his work. //

    ‘What do you get when you combine an empty office, a mini basketball hoop, Space Jam tunes and a total legend? A dunk show for the ages. All we know about Jake H (his YouTube name) is that he was laid off and left alone with a six-foot Fisher Price rim for a few weeks prior to his final day….. :D :D :D

    I ran across this scrumptious rendition of Musetta’s Waltz by Leontyne Price
    I think I’d like to go to sleep with the sound of her angelic voice playing in my head and so I shall retire for the evening!

    Good Night Family!

    Ben Sommers and his colleagues found that previous expansions of state Medicaid programs significantly reduced all-cause mortality in those states, compared to matched states that did not expand health insurance. By one credible estimate, Massachusetts’s Romneycare insurance expansion prevented about one death per year for every 830 adults newly enrolled in health coverage. If these estimates carry over to the 16 million Americans newly-insured under the Affordable Care Act, health reform is now preventing about 19,000 deaths every year. That’s more than the annual lives saved by seat belts, frontal air bags, motorcycle helmets, child restraints, and minimum drinking age laws—put together.
