XLV President of the United States: 2017 - present
294 - Remarks Honoring the 2018 National Teacher of the Year and State Teachers of the Year
May 2, 2018
What beautiful singing I just heard from the glee club. Thank you very much. That was so beautiful. Thank you. Good afternoon. I'm thrilled to be here with so many friends and colleagues and distinguished educators for our annual National Teacher of the Year celebration.
I'd like to thank Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos for joining us, along with Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta. Thank you very much, Betsy and Alex. Thank you.
And a very special thanks, again, to the glee club of the Walter B. Patterson Elementary School. Brilliant talent, and great voices. Big future. Big future.
Finally, congratulations to all of the Teachers of the Year representing their respective States, Territories, and the District of Columbia. Very, very special people. Very important.
We're joined by three amazing finalists for National Teacher of the Year: Amy Andersen, Jonathan Juravich, and Kara Ball. Where's Kara Ball? Where is Kara? Please stand up. Jonathan, stand up. All three, please stand up. That's a great job. Thank you, Kara. Thank you. Thank you, Jonathan. Beautiful. Thank you. I just met—we took pictures backstage, and it was my great honor. It's a tremendous achievement.
And it's also my honor to host all of you—your families, your amazing friends—all right here at the White House, a very, very special place. We all agree. You were saying before just how special it was, and it's special. Every time I walk into it or go to sleep upstairs—[laughter]—I say, "This is a very, very great place."
Each of you has dedicated your lives to our Nation's single most important resource: our children. Every President since Harry Truman has honored the National Teacher of the Year, and I'm proud to continue this tradition with this year's recipient: Mandy Manning of the State of Washington. Great State. Thank you. Fantastic, Mandy. Outstanding job by Mandy—by everybody. But outstanding job by Mandy. Thank you.
Having begun her teaching career in the Peace Corps almost two decades ago, I know that Mandy will be pleased to see Dr. Jody Olsen, Director of the Peace Corps, joining us in her honor. Thank you very much, Doctor. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.
Mandy took her passion for education from the Peace Corps to Joel E. Ferris High School in Spokane, Washington, where she has been teaching English and math for the past 6 years. Her incredible devotion has earned her the adoration—total adoration, actually—and respect of students and colleagues throughout her school district, community, and the entire State.
Teachers like Mandy play a vital role in the well-being of our children, the strength of our communities, and the success of our Nation. The job of a teacher is not only to instruct the next generation of workers, but the next generation of citizens to teach our children to care for others, to think for themselves, to love their country, to be proud of our history, and to be true pillars of their families and their communities. Such an important job. There is no more important job. We have teachers to thank for identifying and nurturing the boundless potential of America's youth. Sometimes, all it takes to begin the next great American success story is a teacher who really, really cares. The legacy of a good teacher extends through many lifetimes. As the great author Henry Adams once said, "A teacher affects eternity." So true.
To Mandy and all of the amazing educators here today: Your tireless dedication doesn't just inspire your students, it inspires all of us. And I can tell you, it very much inspires me. We honor you and every citizen called to the noble vocation of teaching.
Now it is my privilege to present Mandy with the National Teacher of the Year Award. This is a truly special award. And, Mandy, congratulations. Thank you.
[At this point, the President presented the award.]
Well, I just want to thank everybody again for being here. I want to really wish you the best, for Mandy and for all of this incredible talent. And that's what it is. This is talent.
I just want to say God bless you and God bless America. Congratulations. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you.
NOTE: The President spoke at 4:38 p.m. in the East Room at the White House.

Hawking’s last physics paper argues for a ‘simpler’ cosmos
Wed., May 2, 2018, 5:04 p.m.
By Malcolm Ritter
Associated Press
NEW YORK – Weeks after his death, physicist Stephen Hawking has delivered his last thoughts about the nature of the cosmos, and he says it may be simpler than often believed.
Well, simpler if you understand theoretical physics, anyway. It remains incomprehensible for the rest of us.
A paper that outlines his view, written with Thomas Hertog of the University of Leuven in Belgium before Hawking’s death in March, has been published by the Journal of High Energy Physics. Hertog had announced the new theory last year at a conference celebrating Hawking’s 75th birthday.
The University of Cambridge, where Hawking worked, announced the publication on Wednesday.
Here’s a very simplified version of what it says. First, some background.
Scientists believe our universe sprang into existence with the Big Bang, followed by an unimaginably rapid expansion known as inflation. Within our observable universe, inflation ended long ago.
But some ideas of inflation say it never stops, persisting in other regions of the cosmos forever. This eternal inflation produces a “multiverse,” a collection of pocket universes of which our own universe is just one.
There may be an infinite number of these pocket universes. If they’re all very different, then how typical is the universe we live in, where scientists make their observations?
That’s a key question for understanding the fundamental laws of nature, and finding a way to estimate what types of universes are probable is a big challenge, said physics professor David Kaiser of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Many people have tried to tackle that question, but Hawking approached it from a point of view shaped by his long study of the intersection of quantum theory and gravity, he said.
Hawking’s paper suggests that there may be a much smaller range of possibilities for universe types than previous estimates had suggested. So “the behavior of our own, observable universe might not be a rare outlier, but perhaps (be) relatively typical,” Kaiser said in an email.
“Naturally,” Kaiser said, “this is all rather speculative.”
Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics called it “a stimulating, but not revolutionary paper.”

RIKER: Doctor, tomorrow morning when they detect the warp signature from your ship and realise that humans have discovered how to travel faster than light, they decide to alter their course and make first contact with Earth, right here.
COCHRANE: Here?
LAFORGE: Uh, actually over there.
RIKER: It is one of the pivotal moments in human history, Doctor. You get to make first contact with an alien race, and after you do, everything begins to change.
LAFORGE: Your theories on warp drive allow fleets of starships to be built and mankind to start exploring the Galaxy.

US Marine Corps 1LT Paul Wang: [displays evidence proving the guilt of the accused]
Elroy-El: And that is?
US Marine Corps 1LT Paul Wang: It was on your person. On your clothes we found remnants of the oil used as accelerant on the missiles in the fire. And when that failed, you stole this radio-controlled device and turned it into a detonator, using electronics from your own body.
Elroy-El: Clearly, gentlemen, a frame-up job is in progress.
US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel T.C. McQueen: You see, we biological life-forms got what you call your, uh, eye for an eye.
Elroy-El: Yes. Yes, I've read about that.
US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel T.C. McQueen: It states that an act, say of terrorism or murder is met with an equal act.
Elroy-El: I have the uneasy feeling that you gentlemen are unfamiliar with the Ho Chi Minh City Convention of 2054. Under declarations relating to Artificial Intelligence, Prisoners of War, article two, paragraph four states -
US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel T.C. McQueen: Nothing that means a damn in this room.
Elroy-El: Oh.
US Marine Corps 1LT Paul Wang: You didn't seem to care about the H.C.M.C. Convention when you tortured me at the Kazbek Penal Colony.
Elroy-El: Why do you malign me so? [Gasps] Oh, I see. Of course. Oh, gentlemen, this has been one huge mistake. You see, that wasn't me. That was an entirely different Elroy-El model. Yes, that boy Elroy did some very bad things.
