"Apparently even President Obama knows that New York City is a great place to shop. During a trip to the Big Apple today, the president made a surprise stop at the Gap. Obama checked out some khakis and sweatshirts. A cheery saleswoman talked him through a few options, including a V-neck pink sweater. Obama said he was worried the V-neck would slip off his daughters shoulders. He ultimately settled on a light pink crewneck for Sasha and a bright pink one for Malia.
A White House official explained the presidents impromptu stop: In his State of the Union address, the President called for businesses to raise workers wages, and today the President will visit a Gap store to show his support for Gap Inc.s decision to increase wages for their US based employees. During his visit to the store, Obama also picked out navy blue zip-up workout shirtfor the first lady. The president then greeted the woman behind the counter, who told him he was better looking in person. You hear that? The president said to reporters. I think the ladies will be impressed with my style sense, the president said as his items were rung up."

Early Education and Care Prioritized in President Obamas Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Proposal
On Tuesday, President Obama released his fiscal year 2015 budget proposal, calling once again for significant new and ongoing investments in high-quality early education and care. The proposal closely mirrored his 2014 budget proposal for preschool. [Congress did not fund that proposal in full, but did include funding increases for early education in the final FY14 budget].

"Mad about Vlad".. Consider the source.

In a place mostly used for discussion and commentary about an online game:
I don't know where and how to scream to be heard, but I can't remain silent anymore. I want to specify my position about situation at Ukraine.
Personally I strongly disapprove behavior of my government. I disapprove that Russia have covered Yanukovich, I disapprove that Russia offered former Berkut members Russian citizenship, and of course I disapprove the deployment of Russian troops to Ukraine.
I'm ashamed for my country. Forgive me.
I know how him and the other Russians feel. We've been through this as well."
Mahalo Butterfly for the quote on the Ukraine from the Russian..
