Hear longterm investment. I remember in the 1970s talking to people in the service about technology and the process is so slow a design is built on rfp and before it is put out and before it is even completed, the technology is obsolete. How can the service make this transition in a careful way . Without getting caught in this trap of holding a system thats already out of date. Dave a couple of things i think the irs has done a remarkable job on technology. Speed matters. I believe we dont have a long time to wait. The irs has demonstrated its ability to manage technology. The best example is cataclysms that were accompanying every discussion right up until the Filing Season vanished when you realize the irs had figured out most of the major problems and had dealt with them again. That said, i think speed matters a lot.

Melody what a day. I want to send my congratulations to the usc class of 2015 and all of those who celebrate and champion those. Now i would like to ask the graduates to do something. I would like you to look past the rain and look up the sky. Now i would like you to imagine that you are in a light caps off a lightweight capsule. And it took you two hours to be 24 miles up. Insane, right . The only way you can get back to the earth is to jump. This actually happened in 2012 where a parachutist put himself in this exact situation. Felix bumgarner said if he looked out, he could see the curve of the earth as he contemplated his next move. If you watch the video, you will hear his ground crew tell him to disconnect the oxygen supply hoses attached to his suits. Felix does not move. Moments passed. Then you hear the command again, disconnect the oxygen. Why did felix hesitate . I think as most of you know, i would say that sitting 24 miles up is not that different from where you are sittin

Graduating from college is a major transition. You are probably feeling
Did he make it . Ok, we are going to leave him suspended in free fall a minute and come back to him. In the meantime, i am very excited to be here on solid ground with all of you and i want to thank the president for the very kind introduction, and congratulate my fellow Honorary Degree recipients. I would like to congratulate all of the supportive relatives and friends. Today we are all one big trojan family. Some of you were born into it. Some of you chose it. I married into it. [applause] ms. Hobson i remember the first time my husband, george lucas, brought me. [applause] ms. Hobson first stop was the film school, obviously. Then we attended a football game. Not a game, the game against westwood high. Now i went to school back east and the one thing i can tell you, Ivy League Football is mostly boring. But the game was amazing. I cheered the entire time. I could not believe you had a real horse as a mascot. I was amazed. Then i learned that that is not the original traveler. I thou
