he was against common core, and he was for school choice. and so, you know, unfortunately there's not a whole lot that the federal government can do about common core because all the common core was adopt by state boards of education, state legislatures, and it's up to the states to now do something about what they did. and, you know, and listen to all of you who have children or grandchildren who are now suffering under the pedagogies or that are being imposed upon them in common core. and, you know, if we had more time, i have a whole speech about common core. and maybe you can invite me back, and i'll give that.

can you please discuss common core?>> one of my recommendations in my education agenda is to repeal and replace common core. i actually wrote a book back in 2012 that was at a time that virtually no one outside of education inside circles have ever heard of common core. i wrote a book called obama's education takeover and it was put out by encounter books by new york and basically what it was is and analysts of why it isn't all that it's cracked up to be not only from an academic point of view but from a control point of view. one of the thing things i arguen thathebook and elsewhere is than california about the things we got right is a week adopted a set of academic standards that were very good. they were so good that they were rated by organizations in washington as one of the best in the country and so what happened when common core came away with a lot of baggage that included an outline set of curriculum and national tests so it had this huge triangle of standards, curriculum and testing that came with common core

the things that drive quantum leaps is the core technology. when i think about all of the things that are going to change from a core technology point of view in the future, i think we are just getting started. and so i am incredibly excited. and clearly, there is nothing that -- i think virtually anybody would say is going to replace the smartphone anytime soon. and you know, as time has gone on, the smartphone has become more important to people's lives. when it started, the phone call was still a dominant reason for having it. now, if you look at what people are doing on smartphones, it is a minor piece of what a phone is now. and so when i look at that and sort of the health kit and what that has done in terms of getting people's health data, car play, the use of it in the car. i am controlling all of my house with siri using the iphone. and so i think about all of these things, the usage of it, now, it is something that you just don't leave home without your iphone. so no, i think it is in the early stages, still. i don't see it in that l

another example of inspiring public space, that core strategy, is our work with let's play, and they are here with the community task force and we identified -- or the community task force identified what were really the 13 most -- well, the 13 worst playgrounds or the 13 most failing playgrounds in the city and they based that on a couple of criteria and one was the prns presence of arsenic and playgrounds that didn't have that chemical in it but were in poor condition in low-income high youth density serving neighborhoods and we have an overall list of 13 playgrounds, part of the funding to repair those worst playgrounds and we're parking with the park alliance to raise over $10 million to make sure that each and every one of those playgrounds is renovated. turning to an example of how our strategic plan comes to action under strategy 2, inspire play, one of our objective is to work with the partners and neighborhood groups to activate play, and we, our recreation division, offers 6,000 programs a year, 6,000 in our full service rec centers and our clubhouses all over the city. 80%

core inflation is still very low. we had disappointing dated this week.le the conversation is , you can see that the markets will focus on not only looking at when the qe program and's, but thinking about changes to the investment policy and when there will be an increase in interest rates. i think it will take time before we start to see signals from the ecb that that will happen. even if the ecb were to finish with the asset program in that if wei agree take some time it will be next year that the ecb saw increased rates. there will be a lot of pressure for them to raise rates. the signal in september, but there will be internal pressure to stop sooner. i do not think they will do that. the trailing growth is 2.2%. with the fed that they were not hitting the inflation target, but the pressure was there to move. and stop the bond purchases. in the case of the ecb, they have been doing massive purchases, which were not popular. they are at a negative interest rate, -40 basis points. extraordinary emergency type condition right now. the pressure will be th
