Washington (CNN) President Barack Obama has hosted plenty of confrontational foreign leaders at the White House, haggling over military aggression, trade disputes and any other irritant that brings a head of state into the Oval Office. When Obama convened the leaders of the Nordic bloc on Friday, it was not one of those meetings. "This was a very useful and important conversation, although there was probably too much agreement to make for as exciting a multilateral meeting as I sometimes participate in," Obama joked after a 90-minute session with the leaders of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark Friday. Amid turmoil in the Middle East, cross-border aggression in Eastern Europe, maritime disputes in Asia and restive governments in South America, the northern European nations remain an oasis of liberal cool for a president who has sometimes been described in similar terms.President Obama will host a state dinner to honor five Nordic nationsObama has praised the countries' stability 
 Question:It's no wonder Obama is fond of musing to his aides, "Why can't all countries be like the _ countries?".

It is the signing that will almost certainly come to define the success or otherwise of Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool this season. Christian Benteke at £32.5million is undoubtedly a gamble, even more so than last summer’s arrival of £16m Mario Balotelli. Rodgers survived that error of judgement - he will not be so lucky should Benteke prove another expensive flop. From the off, the pressure will be on both player and manager. Very few could present justification for the fee – determined by a shrewd buy-out clause on Aston Villa’s part – especially when Chelsea paid less for Diego Costa last summer.Liverpool are set to meet Christian Benteke's £32.5m release clauseBenteke's style of play doesn't seem to suit Brendan Rodgers' preferenceRodgers sold targetman Andy Carroll in order to create a fluid frontlineLiverpool boss failed in the transfer market with signing Mario Balotelli 
 Question:But there is something about the signing of _ that does not rest easy with supporters and observers.

Don Featherstone was a classically trained painter, a talented sculptor and artist who became famous for creating the pink plastic lawn flamingo — the ultimate piece of American suburban kitsch. And it didn't bother him a bit. Featherstone, who died Monday at 79, embraced the fame the invention brought him. He died at an elder care facility in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, after a long battle with Lewy body dementia, his wife of 40 years, Nancy, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. 'He was the nicest guy in the world,' Nancy Featherstone said. 'He didn't have a selfish bone in his body. He was funny and had a wonderful sense of humor and he made me so happy for 40 years.'Don Featherstone was a classically trained painter, a talented sculptor and artist who became famous for creating the pink plastic lawn flamingoHe died at an elder care facility in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, after a long battle with Lewy body dementia, his wife of 40 years Nancy saidFeatherstone studied art at the Worcester Art Museum and created the ornamental flamingo in 1957 for plastics company Union Products Inc.He modeled it after photos of the birds he saw in National GeographicFeatherstone is survived by two children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren
