The "Let’s Move" initiative and fitness competition marked its second
anniversary in February, 2012 when First Lady Michelle Obama invited
talk show host Jimmy Fallon to the White House. Starting with a race up
the White House staircase, to push-ups, the challenged stepped it up
with Tug of War, Hula Hoops, Dodgeball and even a Potato Sack Race,
accompanied by the motivational anthems of "The Eye of the Tiger" and
"Chariots of Fire." Even the first dog "BO" got into the act.

ten years to its launch in May 5, 2003, I was also one of
first to purchase their stock when its IPO hit in late May, 2011. Just a

professionals, a fraction of the hundreds of millions flocking to
Facebook. However with their "gated-access approach," the network built
trust amongst its users who have sinced gone on to build effective
individual networks of connections that like myself proved to produce
lucrative business relationships over the years.
