During the annual "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" event at the White House on Thursday, First Lady Michelle Obama shared a surprising moment with one young girl. When the first lady called on 10-year-old Charlotte Bell in a question-and-answer session, the child stood and approached the stage, saying, "My dad's been out of a job for three years and I wanted to give you his résumé." Obama invited her on stage and hugged her, and the pair spoke for a moment before the first lady explained to the audience what had happened. Charlotte's mom, an employee of the executive branch, said the family joked about making a job pitch earlier in the weekend, but they didn't know Charlotte actually planned to do it. Her father, Ben Bell, worked on the Obama campaign in 2012, and he's been looking for a policy job for more than two years. Watch Obama's full question-and-answer session below,...

Girl Gives Michelle Obama Dad's Resume
When the First Lady called on Charlotte Bell, who was sitting in the front row, the girl said, “My dad’s been out of a job for three years and I wanted to give you his resume.” Obama walked over to the girl, gave her a hug and said, “Oh my goodness," reported ABC News.
Upon sitting back in her chair, holding on to the white piece of paper, Obama told the crowd, “Well, it’s a little private, but she’s doing something for her dad, right?” Appearing to look over at Bell, Obama reassured the young guest, “Got it,” and placed the resume beside her.

So, how did video game get to be such an electric vector in our lives and imaginations? That's exactly the question that Harold Goldberg sets out to answer in his new book, "All Your Base Are Belong to Us." Goldberg's worked on both the game-making and critic sides of the medium and he digs deep into video game history to draw out the personalities responsible for the culture's seismic shifts. Whether it's the brashness of the early Atari days to the many unsung teenage geniuses that turned ideas into experience to the Mmo revolution, Goldberg shows how the...
