The Friday Musical Interlude: "Good Day"

As our team works away on our World and assess the day and beyond, there has to be a sense of hope that has to be sustained for the sake of all who yearn for it.    The unspeakable violence the World was witness to in Tunisia, France and Kuwait gives all a moment of pause.   But we must always embrace a "Good Day" as our team decided to choose this as the "Musical Interlude" For this Friday:


View of the Week: On This Tragic Day In Our World.....

This day began in our World with the three separate terror attacks in three different countries.  Our team has been assessing it throughout the day.     Our thoughts and prayers with all the fallen today and their families in Tunisia, France and Kuwait.

This was also a day that South Carolina said good bye to one of the Emmanuel 9, The Rev. State Senator Clemente Pickney.    The President of the United States delivered a powerful euology as he also sang a rendition of Amazing Grace:




His words were of comfort to all in the midst of such tragedy our World has been witness to.

Notations on Our World: On #Obamacare & Other Thoughts

Today was an interesting day in Washington as the US Supreme Court once again surprised all with the decision to uphold subsidies for Obamacare.   Our team has been reviewing the decision, the dissent and the reaction--which has been quite interesting.   Our team has been reaching out over Twitter to leading GOP lawmakers including Senator +Marco Rubio  and Senator McCain to get a sense of what their recommendations are.  We have also seen some of the alternatives lingering in Congress including a measure by Congressman Price of Georgia.   It was also quite interesting how swiftly opponents--including Congresswoman Mimi Waters of California further came out in opposition.      It appears that the Republican Leadership will continue its' efforts, though, through the Budget Process to try and "defund" Obamacare.  

The President has also won another key victory--Fast Track Authority as he continues negotations on the so called TPP (Transpacific Partnership).     As we assess this and other on-going developing scenes while on the "Virtual Prowl",  we wanted to share this we saw on the "Grid" earlier.    It is a beautiful testiment to the Art of the Possible and how it is ever so possible to change the World.   It has been the driving force behind #Outsiders:
