President Barack Obama signed an omnibus appropriations bill
 in January that provides $205 million to support polio eradication in 2014,
 through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
 and U. S. Agency for International Development.
The largest government donor to polio eradication,
 the U.S. has contributed more than $2.3 billion since the mid-1980s,
 when 125 countries were polio endemic
 and the disease afflicted 350,000 people annually.
 Today, only Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria are endemic, 
and in 2013, the combined incidence of polio in those countries
 fell to a record-low 157 cases. 
Last month , India reached a three-year milestone without polio,
 paving the way for the entire Southeast Asia region 
to be certified free of the disease.

This Lindy Hop Dance routine performed by dancers 
Jessica Lennartsson and Remy Kouakou Kouame 
is entertaining and fun to watch.
 They performed this dance at the 2013 International Lindy Hop Championships
 which were held in Washington D.C. in August.

The Super Bowl Ad for Coke that upset a few Americans




A bird breeder, who dealt with only species that are normally wild, 
not parrots, canaries, or parakeets,
 had a difficult life, getting up early to feed all his charges,
 never taking a vacation, working hard, 
and yet he enjoyed his life.
 When the local newspaper interviewed him for a feature story,
 they asked him if he was sorry about the life
 he'd chosen for himself. 
His reply? "I have no egrets."
