<title><![CDATA[Governor Beebe's weekly column and radio address: Clinton Center Drives Tourism and Development]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Arkansas made history five years ago when four U.S. Presidents and dignitaries from around the world joined a crowd of more than 25,000 to celebrate the opening of a single building.  On that cold, rainy November day, we stood together to celebrate the dedication of the William J. Clinton Presidential Center.  That week was merely a precursor to the economic and tourist boon this museum and presid...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I know from my own life's experience that the opportunity for success begins with a good education. In this day and age, it is essential to have a postsecondary degree and training if you want to find a fulfilling and long-lasting career. Last year, we established the Arkansas Works Initiative, a call to communities across Arkansas to band together and coordinate efforts to make their hometowns mo...<br />]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Governor Beebe's weekly column and radio address: Good News Amid Continued Challenges ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[No one can deny it's been a tough year economically, and this week, we learned of more layoffs Arkansans must endure. Navistar, which has made school buses in Conway for decades, announced that it will close its Faulkner County plant, affecting almost 500 employees. Paper-product manufacturer Georgia-Pacific also announced layoffs. Businesses, large and small, are suffering, and thousands of Arkan...<br />]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Governor Beebe's weekly column and radio address: Community Achievement Strengthens Arkansas]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[I recently spent a day touring Waldron in western Arkansas. The town, located in Scott County, is home to 3,500 people, and is similar to many other small towns around the State. Many of its citizens work in timber, food processing, and livestock and poultry production. But what impresses me about Waldron is the willingness its people have shown in recent years to work and sacrifice together to ma...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Experts tell us that our nation is in the midst of an "obesity epidemic", and sadly, obesity is one of Arkansas's most prevalent health problems. Fortunately, it is also one of the most preventable. The percentage of overweight and obese adults in our State has increased from more than 53 percent to nearly 66 percent over the past decade. Among Arkansas children in grades pre-K through 12, almost ...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I returned to Arkansas this past week after an economic-development and trade mission to Europe, with stops in England, France and Germany.  This trip has given me a renewed optimism for increased European investment in Arkansas.  We have been working for nearly three years now to reverse the international outsourcing trend and bring more foreign investment and jobs to Arkansas.  We've just taken ...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is Governor Mike Beebe. While I'm in Europe on an economic development mission, I've asked Dr. Paul Halverson of the Arkansas Health Department to give us an update about flu season and the availability of vaccinations. Dr. Halverson?

Thank you, Governor.

<description><![CDATA[The Arkansas Arts Center, one of the leading arts and cultural venues in our State, has found a way to take its visitors 3,000 years back in time.

Last week, I attended the opening of the museum's newest exhibition, "World of the Pharaohs: Treasures of Egypt Revealed." The exhibit, on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston through July, 2010, is the largest exhibit of its kind Arkansas has...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, I was proud to participate in the groundbreaking of a new wind turbine facility in Jonesboro. This event was significant for three reasons. First, Nordex's new plant will bring us 700 new jobs by 2014. This is encouraging news at a time when we have witnessed other plants closing and hard-working people losing their jobs. Secondly, Nordex manufactures components for the wind-en...<br />]]></description>

Right now, the State of Arkansas has custody of more than 3,800 children, and yet, there are fewer than 1,300 qualified foster homes to care for them.

In a State built upon agriculture, Arkansas is finding new and creative ways of getting the most from our harvests. Volunteers are working with Arkansas farmers to collect excess produce from the fields and get it to the homes and tables of hungry Arkansans....<br />]]></description>

The 2009 H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, is considered by many health officials to be a serious threat, and no one can predict with certainty how grave it may become in coming months. Right now, most of the illness we are seeing is mild...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As thousands of Arkansas children return to school this week, we remember that historic day 50 years ago when school integration in Little Rock finally became a reality. On August, 12, 1959, the city's public high schools reopened after a year of being closed in the midst of the Central High desegregation crisis. Our schools have come a long way since then, and the 2009-10 school year will bring s...<br />]]></description>

But times have changed; and while I have no role in creating U.S. foreign policy, I am optimistic that trade and travel conditions between our two countries may change in the not-too-distant future.

At the end of July, I led a trade and economic development mi...<br />]]></description>
