Parents can afford to live in. [applause] our state has some great Public Schools among the best in america but unfortunately because of yesterdays policies many families are shut out they sit and wait as theyre sons and daughters get another year older and their dreams of providing them with the best Public Education possible slips farther and farther away. This has this has gone on too long. I will not accept this inequality. [applause] how many arizona children should have access to our best Public Schools . My answer is, all of them. [applause] here is what makes the situation even more troubling. Right now theyre are nearly 400,000 empty seats in our Public School system. In fact some are completely vacant. These are educational assets funded by the taxpayer meant to benefit our children and they are going to waste. It is time to put these assets back to work. [applause] here is the plan. Lets make open enrollment and Parental Choice of reality and not just a talking point, open t
Revenue. Last year we based our budget on an anticipated Revenue Growth of 3. 4 percent. That was in keeping with our pattern of conservative budgeting. So when fiscal year 2014 ended, our actual revenue was 4. 8 percent. That differential between what we spent and what we collected is deposited into our Rainy Day Fund. Every budget cycle since i have been governor we have added to that fund so that it has increased by 643 percent since i took office. [applause] annual Revenue Growth, coupled with conservative spending and a growing Rainy Day Fund are positive evidence that georgia is better today than it was last year. Since i took office, over 319,000 new private sector jobs have been created in georgia with nearly 93,000 of those coming in the past twelve months. The announcement last week that mercedesbenz usa is moving its north american headquarters to georgia is further evidence that our state will continue to be a leader in job creation. [applause] with job growth comes populat

Host one of them themes themes in your book seems to be a connect to spirituality. Guest everybody believed they were part of something larger than themselves. I remember sitting with steve jobs and i asked him why did you do what you do . And he said, life is like a river. You get to pick things out of the river, really cool things people have done, they put before you in the river, great devices or great ideas, but after a while you realize its not how much you get to take out of the river its what you put back into the r
I remember sitting with steve jobs and i asked him why did you do what you do . And he said, life is like a river. You get to pick things out of the river, really cool things people have done, they put before you in the river, great devices or great ideas, but after a while you r great devices or great ideas but after a while you realize it is not how much you take out of the river but how much you put into the river, what you leave behind so your spirit is so manifest after you have been gone. Whether it is Robert Einstein or Benjamin Franklin or anybody else they did have a connection to something supernatural, something larger than themselves. Host from 2011 to your book and steve jobs, the opening sentence in your the 2004 got a phone call from steve jobs. Why did he call you . I had written a biography of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein and his it why do you do me next . My first reaction was okay, Benjamin Franklin Albert Einstein, you .

Step as nasa still has low confidence, 30 that it can meet the earlier date. Going forward, we have short and longterm concerns about nasas human Space Exploration programs. In the short term the programs are entering the most risky phases of development. There are still technical hurdles to overcome. Particularly with the orion spacecraft which is addressing challenges with the parachute system and heat shield among others. There is also considerable development and testing ahead for orion in terms of the human support systems. Meanwhile, sos is continuing to pursue the earlier launch dates of december 2017.

Moreover, it does not appear that orion and the ground system can achieve the earlier date. And the longterm we have concerns about the cost estimating for human Space Exploration programs. Nasas only p
