Philadelphia Orchestra Musicians Perform on Flight Waiting on Beijing Tarmac for 3 Hours [Video] Posted: 11 Jun 2013 04:41 PM PDT Thought this was pretty cool. I always like when I see beautiful music being performed in a public setting, but this was especially neat because it wasn't staged like some are and they just wanted to do something cool to keep people happy in a situation where people normally would be anything but happy. It also reminds me that I need to go to the symphony.

Michele Kobke - German Girl with 16-Inch Waist Posted: 11 Jun 2013 01:12 PM PDT Michelle Kobke is a 24 year old German girl who has been wearing a corset for three years in order to achieve the goal of having the smallest waist in the world. She is now so used to wearing the restrictive garment that she even sleeps in it and has managed to reduce her waist size from 64 centimeters to 40 centimeters (from 25.2 to 15.7 inches).

He's trained engineers for 55 years

Hi, all -- A couple weeks ago, I was in a meeting with a group of community leaders and President Obama here at the White House. Before the discussion kicked off, one of the women in attendance handed me a letter. It was written by her dad, a 90 year old college professor from Cleveland. He was born in China in 1923, and he came to the United States with $24 in his pocket. Two years later, he'd earned a masters in electrical engineering. Five years after that, he had completed his PhD. In 55 years of teaching, he's trained 180 graduate students. "I fulfilled my dream," he wrote in that letter. "I light up a spot on the great nation of opportunity." His letter reminded me of my dad, who came here from Bolivia to study engineering, and lived his American dream in Michigan, where I was born. So many Americans have stories like these, and they're all powerful. Each personal history is an important asset in the fight to reform the immigration system. To win the debate, we need more than statistics in a fact sheet or the rhetoric in a press release. Every time we put a face on the push for reform, we take an abstract concept and makes it real. Which means your stories are crucial in this effort. Join the conversation now: http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/immigration/stories Thanks so much!
