Five reasons to watch Alabama-Georgia national title game

St. John's once-promsing season now faces huge COVID-19 challenge
Bryce Young a no-brainer choice to win Heisman Trophy
Alabama sent a message to the rest of the SEC Saturday night by treating Georgia's then-second-ranked defense like a sparring partner. Clemson has basically laughed at its four ACC opponents, defeating them by an average of 32.2 points per game.
The two traditional powers already look like locks for the College Football Playoff — and they may not even be the best team in the country. It sure isn't a two-horse race between these two despite their dominance through the season's first six weeks.
Ohio State, the most talented team in the country on paper, has yet to step on the field. That changes Saturday when Nebraska comes to Columbus, possibly punishment from the Big Ten schedule-makers for publicly criticizing the league's initial decision to cancel the fall season.
Yes, the Buckeyes haven't played a game yet. So there is some mystery to what they will be. Meanwhile, Alabama and its seemingly unstoppable offense looks like it is two touchdowns better than the rest of the SEC. Clemson and Heisman Trophy front-runner Trevor Lawrence might be three scores better than anyone else in the ACC, and that includes one-year conference member Notre Dame.
But don't forget how much Ohio State returns, that projected first-round picks Shaun Wade and Wyatt Davis opted into the season after initially declaring for the NFL draft. Don't forget the Buckeyes likely beat Clemson in the College Football Playoff if Justin Fields isn't playing on one healthy ankle and a questionable targeting call doesn't lead to Wade's ejection. Don't forget how capable Ryan Day looked in his first year as a head coach, and how much room there should be for him to grow after his offense averaged 46.9 points and 529.9 yards per game.
Ohio State was my pick to start the season at No. 1. After a few weeks, I moved the Buckeyes down because they had yet to play a game.
But it would be premature to anoint Clemson and Alabama at this point. Alabama's defense looks pedestrian, allowing 28.8 points per game. Clemson's offense lost top receivers Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross, and four starting offensive linemen. The Buckeyes do have holes to fill, losing defensive stars Jeff Okudah and Chase Young, and starting running back J.K. Dobbins.

But Wade (cornerback) and Davis (offensive guard) coming back was huge — they are Associated Press preseason first-team All-Americans — and receiver Chris Olave has star potential on the outside. Zach Harrison may follow in a long line of elite defensive linemen at Ohio State. Fields was sensational in his first full year as the starter, producing 51 touchdowns, and there is no reason to believe he will take a step back.
This team is loaded. It is deeper, more experienced and more talented across the board than Alabama and Clemson. Starting Saturday, the other national title favorite gets its chance to prove it.
Quick! Look over there!
The SEC should gladly welcome the Big Ten and Pac-12's return if it means less attention on its mediocre teams. Because right now, after Alabama, the powerhouse conference has a lot of issues. Defenses have been abysmal. There is no clear No. 2 after the Crimson Tide. Unless Georgia can win out, and that includes an unlikely victory over Alabama in the SEC Championship game, it's hard to envision the league sending a second team to the playoff. On Saturday, heavy favorites Tennessee and Auburn lost. LSU and Florida don't look like serious contenders due to porous defenses. Everyone but Nick Saban's team already has at least one defeat, and only three others — Florida, Texas A&M and Georgia — have one loss.
Fool's gold
Don't do it. Do not hype up Clemson-Notre Dame on Nov. 7 in South Bend. It doesn't matter that the Irish are ranked third in the nation or that they are undefeated. Trust your eyes. This isn't a title contender. This isn't a team capable of playing with the Tigers. It barely beat one-win Louisville at home after struggling with Florida State. Notre Dame will likely enter the showdown undefeated — its next two opponents are Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech — but that shouldn't matter. Do not believe in Notre Dame. It has done nothing to suggest it belongs among the nation's elite, let alone No. 1 Clemson.
1. Clemson (5-0) (Last week: 1)
The Tigers can spot anyone in the ACC three touchdowns and they would still win. The gulf is that wide between Clemson and the rest of the conference.
2. Alabama (4-0) (2)
As Jerry Jeudy tweeted, Alabama is becoming Wide Receiver U. After producing two first-round picks last year — Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III — the Crimson Tide have the best trio in the country this season in Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith and John Metchie III.
3. Ohio State (0-0) (3)
It's game week in Columbus and with it, come sky-high expectations. Anything less than a title is a disappointment.
4. Georgia (2-1) (4)
The Bulldogs defense doesn't get a pass for allowing 564 yards and 41 points, but at some point Kirby Smart has to take a look at USC transfer J.T. Daniels. Quarterback Stetson Bennett, the former walk-on, has a limited ceiling, as his performance against Alabama showed.

5. Penn State (0-0) (5)
The Nittany Lions offense has the potential to be elite. Not only does quarterback Sean Clifford return, but he has his top four running backs, tight end Pat Freiermuth and receiver Jahan Dotson.
6. Notre Dame (3-0) (6)
Forget the Clemson game on Nov. 7. Notre Dame will have to be much better just to beat 3-3 Pittsburgh on Saturday than it was in narrowly escaping one-win Louisville.
7. Florida (2-1) (7)
This is the real challenge of this bizarre season. After a frustrating loss, Florida will have three full weeks to agonize over it while hoping to avoid rust, due to consecutive weeks of COVID-19 postponements.
8. Cincinnati (3-0) (9)
Odds are long that the AAC can get into the playoff. But the Cincinnati-SMU winner Saturday will at least be part of the conversation.
9. Oklahoma State (3-0) (10)
One of the nation's best running backs (Oklahoma State's Chuba Hubbard) against one of the better run defenses (Iowa State) will be one of the top storylines in Saturday's showdown in Stillwater.
10. Texas A&M (3-1) (NR)
The on-the-rise Aggies are as good as anyone in the non-Alabama segment of the SEC, backing up their big win over Florida with a commanding road victory at Mississippi State.
Dropped out: North Carolina (3-1)
Heisman Watch (in alphabetical order)
RB Travis Etienne, Clemson
He probably won't win the award — his teammate, Trevor Lawrence, is the heavy favorite — but there's no doubt Etienne is one of the premier players in the country, nearly as valuable as a receiver out of the backfield as he is a runner.
QB Justin Fields, Ohio State
It's finally go-time for Fields. He doesn't have much time to impress, just eight games to leave an impression on the voters. Look for Ohio State to run it up often.
Trevor Lawrence goes off as Jets draft noise grows
QB Mac Jones, Alabama
An afterthought in early September, Jones is looking like a legit contender, with four straight 400-yard passing games and a through-the-roof 78.3 completion percentage.
QB Trevor Lawrence, Clemson
Lawrence finally threw an interception, snapping a streak of 366 passes without a pick, but he more than made up for it with a career-best 404 yards through the air and five touchdown passes.
QB Kyle Trask, Florida
Though no known fault of his own, Trask's Heisman hopes took a hit with Florida's back-to-back COVID-19 postponements. Three weeks without a game makes tougher the already challenging spot Trask is in to win the sport's most prestigious honor.

Biden Sounds America's Death Knell
By Justin O. Smith
Sent 11/15/2021 12:58 AM
Our nation and people have experienced higher inflation in past years, than we are currently experiencing, but the difference today is our federal government rests in the hands of America's radicals who are acting with purpose and intent to destroy Capitalism and the Republic itself, and the 6.2 percent official number is a deception at best. We've never had an administration similar to the Biden regime that is so willing to stoke the flames of continued and growing inflation by advancing and promoting massive infrastructure bills that are essentially Marxist-Maoist social-engineering programs, along with other terrible policies, aimed at making the American people subjects to future totalitarian regimes, rather than Free people who command the government.
One can point to phony "official" numbers from a federal government that has changed its methods of calculating inflation at least twenty times since the 1970s, but it's certain, that despite the Consumer Price Index number, the American people are being taken to the cleaners, as prices across the board on every retail item rises exorbitantly. This is compounded by a massive injection of new currency into the economy through mammoth stimulus bills and a Build Back Better Bill (read as "More Welfare without Work Requirements") that has little to do with actual infrastructure, as it hands out billions of dollars for climate change and racial and sexual identity initiatives and causes a further decline in the dollar's buying power, while the average American's pay rate has stagnated.
And with an actual CPI of .9 percent, that places inflation at nearly eleven percent at the least, this is all occurring in conjunction with the stock market and doesn't take into account the extremely high price hikes in goods that we are all facing in real time. Anyone who works or owns a business or simply tries to go about their lives as normally as possible can attest to this.
It has happened largely due to expenditures in several public and private sectors and broad-based economic initiatives, driven by Biden policy with huge increases in energy, food and shelter, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The New York Post recently documented the pain American consumers are experiencing, in a recent report by James Bovard writing:
"Natural gas prices have jumped more than 180 percent since September 2020, and that will spur increases in electricity costs. Home heating oil prices have jumped 115 percent over the past year. Fuel oil is up almost 60 percent from a year ago. The federal government forecast last month that home heating costs could rise 54 percent this winter -- but heating costs could actually triple, according to some private forecasts."
How illogical and purely insane it must surely seem to many Americans to see Joe Biden, hat-in-hand, put on a show of begging Saudi Arabia for more oil, even though he has the American technology and know-how at his fingertips to keep the country energy independent, as it was during Trump's term. However, most of us also full well recognize that the destruction of fossil fuel usage in our country is exactly what the far left radicals of his regime desire, regardless of how much pain it inflicts on our people, and Biden's foggy brain is more than willing to bow to them -- the Chicken Littles of Climate -- and the spooks behind the curtain, or whoever is twisting his puppet strings.
In February of this year, Saule Omarova, Biden's nominee for Comptroller of the Currency made the following statement that should trouble all Americans:
"For certain troubled industries and firms that are transitioning, and here what I'm thinking about is primarily coal industry and oil and gas industry. A lot of smaller players in the industry are going to probably go bankrupt in short order, at least we want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change, right?"
More than likely, Biden and his Communist coterie are probably chuckling gleefully and dancing a jig behind closed doors, after they discovered that Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq and the other OPEC nations like the high prices for oil and are not likely to raise oil production to lower costs anytime soon. They are not afraid or in awe of the Biden regime, like they were with President Trump, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has no love or respect for Joe Biden, America's emerging petty tyrant.
Of course, other strong factors in the aforementioned dismal assessment are the breakdown of the supply chain, with truckdrivers for fuel deliveries in short supply for a litany of reasons, and Biden's continued ferocious war against coal and oil through an insane and idiotic energy policy that killed the Keystone XL and seeks to do the same to the L5 Pipeline in Michigan. And Biden's actions in these instances represent nothing less than existential threats to all America, as he bows to international concerns and China to the detriment of America.
Truckers have highlighted the fact that trucks setting on Chinese made chassis or subassemblies are now subject to tariffs, thus impeding the ability of the trucking industry to introduce new equipment to the supply chain by making it financially prohibitive. It raises the cost and creates scarcity, while the Biden regime also pushes to place two man crews and two engineers on freight-trains forever, in contrast to freight-trucks that can be operated safely by just one driver.
A record number of 111 container ships are currently awaiting to be offloaded at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as truckdrivers complain of lazy or belligerent longshoremen who are now filled with a new sense of newly gained importance and power and leveraging it to their benefit. The allegations suggest they are purposely slow-walking and refusing to offload the ships in a timely fashion, while truckers are currently forced to wait anywhere from three hours to three days for their loads. But it is also noted that space in the warehouses is standing at full capacity.
Recently, Corey Bertsch of Slync.io, a global logistics company, told reporter Grace Kay:
"The issue isn't about a lack of desire to move boxes, but a lack of physical space. ... These containers would move if they could, but it's a combination of warehouses, truck and labor issues."
The price of lean ground beef is up near four dollars a pound, while gasoline is hovering around $3.50 per gallon in most parts of the country, unless one looks at Alaska ($3.88 for Mid-Grade) or California where the average price of gasoline is now $4.67. And building materials have increased by approximately 21 percent since last October.
We are witnessing an out-of-control regime under Joe Biden moving to upend capitalism and usher in authoritarian socialism by any means they can, before they have anything viable in place other than sheer control and power from the end of a gun backed by their goons and thugs in government and the ranks of Black Lives Matter, whose leaders regularly threaten violence if their demands aren't met. And Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated the fact of the matter in plain terms on Sunday, November 14th 2021, in speaking with Maria Bartiromo:
"They want you not to be able to fill up gas in your car. They want your electricity bill to be higher. They want your heating bill to be higher. And the cruelty -- of course, it doesn't impact them. The Democrat elites still fly on their private planes everywhere they go. And the working people, they just say, 'Let them eat cake'.
It's really cruel what is happening, after spending $1.9 trillion on the so-called Covid relief bill that wasn't Covid relief, and now spending $1.2 trillion on a so-called infrastructure bill, much of which is not infrastructure. They now want to move on to Bernie Sander's Socialist budget.
This was the budget that was originally $3.5 trillion and it was actually closer to $5.5 if you scored it honestly."
What did anyone expect in the wake of shutting down a $20 trillion a year economy overnight?
While a lot of our current ills started during the Obama years and continued under Trump, the Biden regime has given new meaning to the phrase "warp speed" in the speed they have hurried to implement a major expansion of the welfare state at a time when ten million jobs are in need of filling and millions of Americans are simply refusing to work, because Biden policies take away any incentive to work. Our own government has created the existing crises and rapidly growing inflation by closing entire economies during the early days of the Covid crisis, but the Democratic Party Communists have leveraged the underlying causes of the crises to their advantage and used them as weapons against the Republic.
Why else would Joe Biden rail against our Freedom to choose to not be vaccinate, as he moved to force us to do so, just like a fanatical despot?
The politicians and mainstream media can continue to mock mothers of America for complaining about rising milk prices, if they wish, but we're all feeling the squeeze of inflation, transitory or not, in the here and now and the immediacy of each day to provide for our families. We see the high grocery bills and gas prices, as we wonder how we'll make it through the winter. We see the real loss of our dollar's spending power, as $100 dollars barely buys anything these days and hourly earnings are in a holding pattern, and we see that Biden's policies are destroying the nation, whether one thinks he is just incompetent or knowingly complicit with America's enemies in sounding Her death knell.
We have met the enemy, when he and his cronies were sworn into office on January 20th 2021, and most of us are well aware that Biden will not be dissuaded from his path of destruction, which makes these days all the more important in seeking those champions who can and will rise to the occasion to impede, block and ultimately stop these anti-American Marxist-Maoist policies of Biden's. Here and now is the time to stop the Green New Deal thievery and the Biden regime's criminal schemes aimed at our children. The days have arrived that demand we stop these Democratic tyrants in any way we can, so we may regain control of our economy and move sensibly into the new days and make a proper and righteous use of America's natural bounty and resources and our own people's innate ingenuity to restore America's Virtues and Principles and some semblance of Her former traditions and glory days.

FEBRUARY 9-11: CELEBRATION OF THE WORLD DAY OF THE SICK
VATICAN CITY, FEB 5, 2004 (VIS) - This morning in the Holy See Press Office, Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, president of the Pontifical Council for Health Care Ministry, presented the Twelfth World Day of the Sick which will be celebrated on February 9-11 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes on the theme: "The Immaculate Conception and Health Care in the Christian Roots of Europe."
The following people participated in the press conference: Bishop Jose Luis Redrado, O.H. and Fr. Felice Ruffini, M.I., secretary and undersecretary respectively of the Pontifical Council for Health Care Ministry, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, metropolitan archbishop of Lyon and head of health care ministry for the French Episcopal Conference, and Bishop Jacques of Tarbes and Lourdes, France.
Cardinal Lozano explained that this year the World Day of the Sick will take place in Lourdes because "this year marks the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception and it was in Lourdes that Mary in one of her apparitions said that she was the Immaculate Conception. In addition, Lourdes was the first place where the World Day of the Sick was celebrated and the Holy Father desired that this day be celebrated on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes."
"Our objective," he said, "is to renew health care ministry all over the world and especially in Europe through the celebration" of this Marian anniversary. "We think that in the Christian roots of Europe there is always the search for harmony through Christ; and Mary in her Immaculate Conception begins this Christian harmony that will mean fullness in health and life in her Assumption. For this reason, we chose this theme."
Three days of celebrations are scheduled: February 9th will be dedicated to studying the situation of health care ministry in every country in Europe; on February 10th the topics of bioethics and the meaning of the Immaculate Conception as a source of health will be discussed; on February 11th the solemn welcoming of the special papal envoy is scheduled as well as an Eucharistic celebration in conclusion. In addition, there will be a procession with candles and a Eucharistic blessing for the sick and many of them will receive the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
The president of the council said that they had especially invited all the bishops who were presidents of the European Episcopal Conferences and those in charge of health care ministry in every European nation, as well as all bishops around the world.

WE MUST REAFFIRM CONDEMNATION OF RACISM & ANTISEMITISM
VATICAN CITY, FEB 5, 2004 (VIS) - This morning John Paul II received members from the American Jewish Committee and, during brief remarks, recalled their previous visit in 1985 on the twentieth anniversary of the Conciliar Declaration, 'Nostra Aetate,' which "has so significantly contributed to the strengthening of Jewish-Catholic relations."
"As we now approach the fortieth anniversary of this historic document," the Pope went on to say, "there is regrettably a great need to repeat our utter condemnation of racism and anti-semitism. Violence in the name of religion is always a desecration to religion. Countering this alarming trend requires that together we stress the importance of religious education which promotes respect and love towards others."
"In these days our attention remains drawn to the Holy Land which continues to be afflicted by violence and suffering. He concluded by saying: "It is my fervent prayer that a just solution will be found which respects the rights and security of both Israelis and Palestinians."

It's a little ironic that it was the "Adventure Time" comic that got me to finally watch the "Adventure Time" cartoon, because I'm sure for most people the reverse path is more likely. That said, it's to Ryan North, Shelli Paroline, and Braden Lamb's credit that the "Adventure Time" comic book feels so much like the cartoon that if I didn't know better I'd think they were adapting an actual episode into the comic book format.
North's script has just the right feel for an "Adventure Time" episode. It has a lot of exuberance on the part of our heroes Finn and Jake, there's a remarkable amount of silliness going on at any given moment, but the stakes are still high in spite of the humor. So sure, this is a story where everyone has been sucked into a massive bag of holding and trapped in a dessert dimension... but it's also one where that bag of holding is being used by an evil lich that is destroying the entire planet and is seemingly unstoppable.
What's nice about "Adventure Time" #3 is that there isn't a deus ex machina whipped out to save the day; Finn and Jake have to use their brains and their courage to stop the lich, not a magical sword or pendant. It's also fun to see the plans that fail; for kids it's a good "try and try again" message, but for the rest of us it's just hysterical to see the different attempts made along the way. North is clearly having fun, with little asides between the characters crammed into panels, or coming up with ridiculous things for Jake to stretch himself into. It's also rapid-fire in terms of pacing, reminding me a lot of the show and how it fits a lot into just eleven minutes.
Paroline's art is clean and uncluttered, just like the show itself. She's mastered using just a few wiggly lines to draw the cast of "Adventure Time," and as the artist on the main feature she's a good match. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some readers mistook Paroline's art for animation cel reproductions instead, it's that similar in style.
The back-up features this month are by Michael DeForge and Zac Gorman. I like having different alternative comic creators getting to step in with each issue, and DeForge's story in particular is utterly bizarre. There's no other way to describe a story that involves the Lumpy Space Princess creating homes for bacon bacteria, so we'll just leave it at that and say that it needs to be read in order to be believed. It says a lot about the diversity of "Adventure Time" that it can fit in just as well as the main feature, though, despite being utterly different tonally.
"Adventure Time" in both comic and cartoon form is the sort of creation that appeals to all ages; I actually know far more adults into "Adventure Time" than kids, after all. If you've never watched the television show, don't let that keep you away from the comic. As someone who came into it via this format, trust me: it's a lot of fun. Great stuff all around.


The precise function of the pineal gland is not known in any detail. Evolutionarily, the pineal gland is derived from cells seen in lower animals that directly respond to light (so-called photoreceptors). In man (and other mammals) this direct connection has been lost, but as described in the anatomy section, there is an indirect connection. The pineal gland alters its activity in response to the state of light, as detected through this pathway. During darkness (i.e. night) it has an increased activity, where the hormones it produces are produced at an accelerated rate. Conversely during light (i.e. day) its activity is suppressed. (This daily rhythm is known as a circadian rhythm). It therefore appears that the gland has a major role in maintaining the circadian rhythm of the body.
The pineal gland produces a variety of hormones including noradrenaline, serotonin, histamine, dopamine, octopamine, luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH), somatostatin and vasotocin. The main hormone produced and released by the pineal is melatonin.


For the first HR Happy Hour Show of 2015, Trish and Steve dug into some of the topics that HR leaders and pros will be talking about in 2015, and hit a few topics that (Steve especially) thinks HR needs to let go of this year.
Loosely based on a post Steve led off the year with, (and that can be found here), Trish and Steve talked about some of the big 2015 topics in HR - predictive analytics, retention, talent having the upper hand, and HR as marketing. We also hit some of the the things that maybe HR needs to step back from, whether from overuse, lack of success, or simple silliness. And let's just say your humble hosts didn't agree 100% on all of these ideas.
Additionally, Steve was SHOCKED to find out the actual HR people spend at least part of their Sunday mornings having discussions and debates about HR issues on Facebook, Steve made a case for wearing the same outfit to work every day (Trish strongly disagreed), Steve was unable to pronouce the word 'ephemeral', and your hosts had to work around an unexpected middle of the show interruption by some garage door installers (sorry, the little glitch hits at about the 18 minute mark, we did our best to smooth it out in the editing room).
This was a really fun and hopefully thought-provoking show and we hope you check it out.
As always, you can listen to the current and all the past shows from the archive on the show page here, on our HR Happy Hour website, and by subscribing to the show in podcast form on iTunes, or for Android devices using Stitcher Radio (or your favorite podcast app). Just search the iTunes store or your podcast app for 'HR Happy Hour' to add the show to your subscriptions.
Happy 2015 from the HR Happy Hour!
For the might-be-the-final show of 2014, HR Happy Hour hosts Steve and Trish took a quick look back at some of the big themes in HR and HR technology in 2014, (data, really BIG data. And also analytics too), while coming to a fast agreement while this may have been a trend in 2014, that actually speculating or predicting on future trends is kind of silly. What makes a trend anyway? Do any of these HR predictions matter?
We also hit on some thoughts about what 2015 might hold for HR and HR tech (Note: these are NOT predictions), and hit upon one of the most interesting current stories impacting work and technology - the recent hack and leak of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Long story short - EVERY HR shop has loads of sensitive HR and employee data getting passed around the organization in Excel spreadsheets. And you put way too much private stuff in Emails. Be careful out there friends.
Additionally, Trish staked out a plan to do a live HR Happy Hour Show from the Tournament of Roses parade in 2016 and Steve pitched a potential live New Year's Eve show for next week.

This was a fun show about some of the big things happening in HR and HR tech and hope you find the show fun as well.
This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Trish and Steve were joined by Joe Brooks, CEO of Zapoint, an HR tech solution provider that focuses on employee career management, individual and organizational skills identification and mapping, and by providing access to learning content to help employees build out their skills and achieve their career objectives.
We talked about some of the most common barriers to effective career planning - lack of visibility into existing opportunities, limited ability to assess if you were a good 'fit' for a given role or career path, and lack of transparency and willingness of managers to develop and share talent.
The conversation also touched upon the HR and organizational leader's need to have a better understanding of aggregate skills and capabilities of the organization's talent - to help enable organizational objectives and to facilitate ongoing succession planning. Joe also shared some insights into how organizations can have success in meeting both sets of these challenges - for employees as well as leadership - by leveraging modern technologies like Zapoint and their innovative skills mapping and career management tools.
Also, Steve and Trish talked about the potential release of 'Facebook at Work', Steve (finally) remembered what day it was, and we reminisced about the long gone Google Wave produce.
Also you can access and subscribe to the show on iTunes or for Android using Stitcher Radio, (or your favorite podcast app). Just search for 'HR Happy Hour' to add the show to your playlist/subscriptions and you won't miss an episode.
This was a fun and interesting show and many thanks to Joe and to the folks at Zapoint for sharing their insights.
This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, hosts Steve and Trish reviewed the HRevolution 2014 event, held November 7 and 8 in Grapevine, Texas.
Steve and Trish talked about several of the big themes from the HRevolution event - the Disruption of HR and workplaces, the importance of creativity in HR and in business, and the need for HR professionals and leaders to take more time to actively think about innovation and new ways to do both HR and business.
This was a great event to be a part of, and in the best HRevolution tradition, the discussions, (like the one Trish and Steve have on this week's show), are ongoing, and the community of HRevolution friends, (and HR Happy Hour listeners), are keeping the ideas and conversations alive.
Additionally, Steve forgets what day it is, ('Is today Wednesday?') and Trish tosses out some potential locations for the next HRevolution event to be held in November 2015.

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve and Trish were joined by Linda Jonas, International traveler, and Director of Marketing for Small Improvements, an HR technology provider of tools that provide a simpler, easy to use, and more engaging approach to performance management, workplace feedback, 360-degree reviews, and more.
We talked about Linda's annual 6-week world tour where she meets with customers and partners, her Small Improvements colleagues, and attends events like the HR Technology Conference and the upcoming HRevolution (of which Small Improvements is a sponsor).
Additionally, Linda shared some insights into emerging and ongoing trends in employee performance management, and the need for both software providers and organizations to keep these processes clear, easy to adopt, and valuable for employees, managers and organizations overall. Everyone seems to hate on Performance Management and one of the reasons is that the process has often been overengineered and over-complicated. Check out Small Improvements to get some insights into how you can change that in your organization, while improving (pardon the pun) both the process and the desired outcomes.

End-to-end models were constructed to examine and compare the trophic structure and energy flow in coastal shelf ecosystems of four US Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) study regions: the Northern California Current, the Central Gulf of Alaska, Georges Bank, and the Southwestern Antarctic Peninsula. High-quality data collected on system components and processes over the life of the program were used as input to the models. Although the US GLOBEC program was species-centric, focused on the study of a selected set of target species of ecological or economic importance, we took a broader community-level approach to describe end-to-end energy flow, from nutrient input to fishery production. We built four end-to-end models that were structured similarly in terms of functional group composition and time scale. The models were used to identify the mid-trophic level groups that place the greatest demand on lower trophic level production while providing the greatest support to higher trophic level production. In general, euphausiids and planktivorous forage fishes were the critical energy-transfer nodes; however, some differences between ecosystems are apparent. For example, squid provide an important alternative energy pathway to forage fish, moderating the effects of changes to forage fish abundance in scenario analyses in the Central Gulf of Alaska. In the Northern California Current, large scyphozoan jellyfish are important consumers of plankton production, but can divert energy from the rest of the food web when abundant.
This dataset includes complete model parameter files (Northern California Current, Coastal Gulf of Alaska, Georges Bank, North Sea), code files for constructing end-to-end ecosystem models, code files for conducting structural scenario analyses, code files for conducting time-dynamic simulations, code files for Monte Carlo model generation, and documentation describing the use of the model code suite.

Winnipeg's Imitations hits TIFF
Local filmmakers to premiere new award-nominated short film at Toronto International Film Festival
TOPICS:artsfestivalfilmlocal artist
By Tobi Nifesi August 9, 2016
Winnipeg filmmaking collective MarkusMilosIanFabian is set to debut their short film Imitations at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Short Cuts program. The film, which is the third motion picture by the group, was filmed and produced in Winnipeg and is eligible for the festival's Short Cuts Award for Best Film and the Short Cuts Award for Best Canadian Film.
Imitations follows the life of an introverted superfan, Arnold, whose infatuation with a famous popstar drives him to get plastic surgery. His decision proves to be costly as his face begins to fall apart and his dream turns into a nightmare.
The 10-minute short film – loosely inspired by aspiring songwriter Toby Sheldon, who spent $100,000 on a plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber – highlights the obsessive nature of pop culture.
Imitations, starring Milos Mitrovic (The Champ), Conor Sweeney (The Editor), Ali Tataryn (Lovesick), and Matthew Kennedy (The Editor), was produced by Ian Bawa and Milos Mitrovic and directed by Fabian Velasco and Milos Mitrovic.
"Essentially, the message of it is just our take on how the world is obsessed with pop media, culture, and celebrities, and people will do anything to be like them," Ian Bawa, told the Manitoban.
The Winnipeg-based independent film company was named after its pioneer members Markus Henkel, Milos Mitrovic, Ian Bawa, and Fabian Velasco. The latter three met while studying filmmaking at the University of Winnipeg and formed the collective after German filmmaker Henkel joined them.
The four Winnipeggers have since collaborated to produce two short films: The Champ (2015), which was awarded for a Vimeo Staff Pick and premiered at the 2015 Fantastic Fest, and Under the Neon Lights (2013), which premiered at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Their films have earned them a growing reputation in Winnipeg and abroad.
"Milos Mitrovic wrote a script a while back and we – myself, Milos, Velascos – went to school together and always worked together. We decided to work with Mitrovic's script and bring it to life," said Bawa.
"The film is very zero budget. It is a 10-minute short film but our goal is to have a feature film made out of it."
Along with its inclusion in the Short Cuts program of the Toronto International Film Festival, Imitations is also eligible for the Short Cuts Awards for Best Film and Best Canadian Film at the festival. The festival runs from Sept. 8 to 18 and the Winnipeg film will be screened twice at to-be-determined dates.
"You don't want to hold your breath about that. Who knows?" Bawa said, regarding Imitations' chances of winning the awards.
"But it's been interesting. We found out about three weeks ago but we had to keep it a secret. We were super excited. Then on Aug. 4, they flew us out for a press release and conference. It's been a pretty cool experience so far."
As a local independent filmmaking collective, MarkusMilosIanFabian have benefited from being part of Winnipeg's growing arts community and culture and are grateful for the support they have been receiving from fellow artists and the local media.
"We have no plans to leave Winnipeg. Winnipeg is a city-town, it's a really good arts community here and we have had huge support from that community. We received a lot of help in terms of funding for our films."
"For now, the plan is to keep shooting and producing films here."

After interviewing several agents, we worked with Linda Helm to sell our house in Gig Harbor. We are SO glad we chose to use her! We were blown away by the professionalism, knowledge, and hard work from Linda and everyone on the team. From the staging to the negotiations to the closing process, they far exceeded our expectations. We particularly appreciated their help in coordinating and supervising all necessary repairs prior to closing (a huge thank you to Cindy!!!!). Thanks to Cindy and Ed's team, we were able to sell our house quickly for above asking.
I know that they are a very busy team here in the Harbor, but when you are working with them, they are very generous with their time and quick to respond.

Bray Wyatt's Wife Accuses Him Of Adultery with WWE Co-Worker — Files for Divorce

Bray Wyatt's wife has filed for divorce, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
The story is that Samantha Rotunda filed for divorce in a Florida court after she discovered that her husband Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) committed adultery with WWE ring announcer, Jo Jo Offerman. Samantha's lawyer told Daily Mail that he has obtained phone records that indicate that Wyatt is still maintaining "continuous contact" with Jo Jo.
Samantha and Windham were married back in 2012 and separated in March after Wyatt allegedly walked out on her and their two daughters, 6 and 4.
Windham's attorney made the following remarks regarding the divorce:
"I do represent Mr. Rotunda in his dissolution of marriage case in Hernando County, Florida. As you know, these cases involve the private lives of the participants and sometimes unpleasant disputes. I would ask that you respect the privacy of both litigants in this matter and I have no other comments to make."
In his counter-petition for divorce, Windham requested an injunction to force his wife to keep quiet about the situation. He claims she made 'defamatory statements about the husband to several people in the community in an effort to ruin his reputation.'

As young baby boomers, either we grew up at the beach … or we probably wished we did. Pat Boone, The Beach Boys, who could dream otherwise? BoomerCafé contributor Erin O'Brien of Redondo Beach, California, was one of the lucky ones, and still is, and after taking her two goddaughters to the beach the other day, she remembered her own Endless Summer.
Fair-skinned, uncoordinated, and nearsighted, I wasn't playing a lot of beach volleyball. But still, the summer I was fifteen was my Endless Summer.
In the morning June gloom I biked a mile from my house to the pier, then along the beach to the end of the bike path, to meet five friends. The sun was sure to break through the marine layer by the time I got there.
Erin O'Brien at Redondo Beach, California.
When I say fair-skinned, I mean as in the complexion of a geisha. But I was undeterred: one of my friends was bringing baby oil and assured me that a couple of hours in the sun was the quickest way to a tan, or for me as it turned out, a heatstroke. It seemed like a terrific idea at the time, though.
A day at the beach required only a towel, suntan lotion (or baby oil), the latest Seventeen Magazine, a transistor radio, and a dime for the pay phone.
I parked my bike in the bike rack and my towel in the sand in front of the bike rack and the snack bar, which was a blue food stand with the big red FOOD sign. That was our spot. There we'd have a view of the waves, easy access to the line for frozen chocolate shakes and French fries, and any cute blond surfers arriving.
Only one of us, the Junior Lifeguard, had a boogie board, so we'd take turns, or just body surf, our arms extended over our heads, as we rode the waves until they crashed and petered out into foam. Over and over we swam out, our long hair floating behind us, as we waited for the next swell.
Dripping as we walked across the hot sand among the kelp, and finally collapsing onto our soft towels, the rhythmic pounding waves and the scent of Coppertone, the cries of the seagulls and the warm sun and soft wind filled my senses.
A bike ride back to the pier on the way home to buy a hot churro for 50-cents would cap off a perfect summer day. Before the six of us had gotten our first job or a driver's license — that would be next year — that was my Endless Summer. Those moments, in the wind and waves, couldn't last long enough for me. I wished I could stay fifteen forever.
Last week I went back. Our spot in the sand was the same — the lifeguard tower, the waves. But a new, smaller bike rack stood in the old one's place, and the food stand had been converted to a café resplendent with umbrellas, offering quinoa salad and organic flaxseed granola. A young man neatly raked the sand to the streams of classical music.
But just for old time's sake, I checked the menu …. then I ordered a chocolate shake and some French fries.
Ah yes, how I remember the first sunburn of summer! Once that had peeled, the rest of the summer was fun.
Gotta love baby oil, French fries, and chocolate shakes. We didn't have the beach in Phoenix, but thanks to Erin, I was 15 again, laying by the pool and mesmerized by the film of baby oil floating on the water reflecting the HOT desert sun. SPF30 was for wimps! Could someone get me a glass of sun tea, please? With lots of ice!!!!
What a fun story. I loved how you said for " Old Times sake" you checked the menu and ordered a milkshake and fries. So fun!
..and was I the only one who could never ride a surf board?
Nice story, Erin. I grew up in Redondo Beach too, and returned to my old stomping grounds about 10 years ago after almost 30 years back east. I appreciate the beach and the beach communities now more than I did way back when.
Too early for boomers to be thinking tombstones?

Monday, 29 September 2008 - Reported by Adam Kirk
Series four of Doctor Who has finished its Australian run with impressive ratings. The Stolen Earth averaged 1,156,000 viewers in the five major capital cities, while Journey's End rated even more with 1,207,000. This episode was the Time Lord's best Aussie ratings since the record 1.248 million for 'Voyage of the Damned', even beating Channel Ten's high-rating 'Australian Idol'. The series finale was also the top-rating program of the day on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the top rating drama of the day on all channels and fourth overall for the day. TheConfidential Cutdown version of 'Friends and Foe' also had the programme's best Australian ratings ever with 1,015,000 viewers. 'End of an Era' at the later time of 10.45pm also scored a respectable 223,000 viewers. Sunday night has proved a ratings triumph for Doctor Who and the ABC, series four averaging 1.1 million as compared to an average of 850,000 on Saturday nights for series three. Media commentator Glenn Dyer of Crikey predicts that the ABC will lose 'half a million viewers' on Sunday nights with the end of 'Doctor Who.'
Meanwhile, in the local media, Michael Idato of The Sydney Morning Herald praises 'Journey's End' writing it 'has the rare power to move you to tears, especially as the sinister Dalek Caan's prophecy - that the "most faithful" of the Doctor's companions will die - comes true in an unexpected and heartbreaking fashion'. CitySearch in its preview of the same episode also writes 'it's Catherine Tate as Donna who really shines. Like the show itself, she has moments of humour, depth, brilliance, drama and heartbreak.' Meanwhile The Canberra Times in its preview of the same episode writes that 'an astounding 45 years after its debut, this classic series is still a force to be reckoned with.' Ian Cuthbertson of The Weekend Australia writes that 'the faithful will be rewarded handsomely in this spectacular finale...Led by Davros and a mad Dalek who looks like a plate of calamai with a dog's eye in the middle, the old villains allow writer Russell T. Davies to delight in references to 'Doctor Who' and other sci-fi shows. "Resistance is useless," a Dalek shrieks. The Earth moves, literally; the universe is on the brink of extinction; and the Daleks soar through the skies of Germany, sounding very much at home in that language, "Exterminieren! Exterminieren!" OK, they made that up, but "Ausrotten, ausrotten!" wouldn't have been funny.' Catherine Deveny of The Age, also gives 'Journey's End' her 'pick of the day.'
Meanwhile, TV blog TV Tonight reports that The Sarah Jane Adventures will make its Australian debut onNickelodeon Australia on Friday October 31 2008 at 7pm.

Dalek cover wins award
Monday, 29 September 2008 - Reported by Anthony Weight
The front cover of the BBC's Radio Times listings magazine from the week of April 30th-May 6th 2005 has been voted the greatest British magazine cover of all time, in a poll organised by the Periodical Publishers Association.The cover featured a new series Dalek crossing Westminster Bridge in front of the Houses of Parliament, accompanied by the strapline "Vote Dalek!" This combined coverage of the transmission of the first new Dalek television story in over 16 years with the British General Election, which took place in the same week.According to The Guardian, the cover received over a quarter of the 10,000 votes cast in the public vote, beating off competition from issues of Vogue, The Face and OK!
Radio Times editor Gill Hudson is quoted by The Daily Telegraph as saying: "It was a very complex cover to put together; simply getting Daleks onto Westminster Bridge at night was very challenging."
Editors were asked to submit UK-only covers but not their own. Submissions were accepted from any era or decade, including titles that were no longer being published.
Adam Pasco, editor of Gardener's World, who nominated the Dalek cover, stated in his original citation: "This Radio Times cover captures the essence of the mood of the nation in a brilliant and original way, and delivers on every level.
"The cover is totally unexpected and brings a contemporary twist to the iconic image of a Dalek to grab readers of all ages at the newsstand."
More than 40 front cover nominations, spanning more than 100 years, were initially put forward by magazine editors. These were whittled down to a shortlist of 16 by a panel of judges. Members of the public were then invited to vote on their favourite.
Nicola Rowe, the circulation director of the Periodical Publishers Association, said: "We had many outstanding entries but Vote Dalek! captured the popular vote. It is sharply observed, funny, and to the point. It is, in its own way, a truly inspired reflection of the British sense of humour."
UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 30: A Radio Times photo gallery showing how the cover was created is now online here.

Dalek Stage Play Nominated For Awards
Monday, 22 September 2008 - Reported by DWNP Archive
It was a huge hit at the box office - and now the Interalia Theatre production of The Dalek Masterplan is up for two awards.
The play, which was staged at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth last October, was the fourth and final "lost" Doctor Who adventure performed by the non-professional company, which reworked and condensed the 1965-66 12-part William Hartnell epic.
It proved to be a sell-out, and the daily paper for the Portsmouth area, The News, has included the play and two of its actors among the nominations this year for its prestigious awards that recognise and celebrate the local arts scene.
Nick Scovell, who played the Doctor, and James George, who portrayed Mavic Chen, are each nominated in the Best Actor category, while the play itself is among those in the Best Amateur Drama Production section.
Those who saw the play can vote for it online by clicking on this link and filling in the form. There are other categories but people do not have to vote in all of them.
The closing date for votes is Friday, October 10 and the winners will be announced at the awards ceremony to be held at the Kings Theatre in Southsea on Monday, November 10.
The official blog about the production, with exclusive photos and videos, can be found here.
McCoy on BBC1

He also manages to appear 40 years old in one scene and 60-something in the next, despite the fact that Doctors is shot in a day and he filmed the young scenes in the morning and the aged ones in the afternoon."

Robert Dobkin, Director. Nick Schenk and Bill Dubuque, writers.
A wonderful drama that delivers. Excellent! The Columbia Review.
Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) is a hard-charging, take-no-prisoners, win-at-all-cost lawyer. And, yes, all the aforementioned clichés do apply, but somehow the line isn't crossed into cheesy. Nor is it crossed when he must—after years of estrangement—return to his all-American mid-western hometown for his mother's funeral and confront a disapproving father, a festering family wound, and his high-school sweetheart (a single mom whose daughter may, or may not, be his daughter). To top off this kitchen sink overflowing with chewed-up plotlines, Hank suddenly has to use his courtroom skills to defend his father, Judge Palmer (Robert Duvall), who is accused of a deadly hit-and-run. The prosecutor (Billy Bob Thornton) is determined to get a conviction because—yes, you guessed—he hates Hank, who had beaten him and gotten a guilty client off the hook years ago.
Now, in hands less capable than Director David Dobkin, who assembled a highly skilled cast to work with, The Judge would have been a dud. But instead, this movie works the magic. Robert Downey Jr. is totally convincing across a challenging spectrum of emotions. Robert Duvall is incredible as a tough judge, a disciplinarian father (struggling with regrets), and a grieving husband who is facing his own death with great dignity. And Billy Bob Thornton does his disappearing trick where you forget it's Billy Bob and take him at his role. Also delivering top-notch performance are Vincent D'Onofrio as Hank's older brother, Glen, Jeremy Strong as the younger (and mentally disabled) brother, Dale, and Vera Farmiga as the ditched high school girlfriend who went on to make something of herself without losing that small-town sweetness.
If I had to bet on Oscars, I'd put my money on Jeremy Strong (who strikes a perfect balance in portraying a mentally disable grown man) and Robert Duvall who, interestingly enough, got his first major role as a mentally disabled "Boo Radley" in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). The screenplay, by Nick Schenk Bill Dubuque, also deserves high praise for building up the emotional pace of the movie to a most-satisfying conclusion and for connecting all the threads of story and human subplots quite beautifully.
The Judge is a wonderful drama that delivers suspense, conflict and familial emotions and hurts that would feel painfully familiar to many of us. Excellent!


You just knew when the creators of TV's South Park turned their attention to Broadway, you'd end up with an irreverent hit musical.
Judd Palmer says if Theatre Calgary's version of Twelfth Night has Shakespeare rolling around in his grave, it's only because he's in on the joke of what's been done with his comedy of mistaken identities.
Moon, Moon, No Moon Cabaret, One Yellow Rabbit's offering for the 2018 High Performance Rodeo, is David Rhymer's work in progress.
While children, adults and even some pets are contemplating what presents Santa might bring them this year, Josie Jones and Praneet Akilla are already enjoying a precious shared holiday gift.
Directing the University of Calgary's School of Creative and Performing Arts' production of Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses is hardly a change of heart for actor, director and theatre administrator Haysam Kadri.
Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't be. Calgary theatrical promoter Jeff Parry and Phil Carson, the current manager of the band Foreigner, have announced the launch of Jukebox Hero, a musical to feature Foreigner at the Jubilee Auditoriums in both Calgary and Edmonton in August of 2018.
For Ghost River Theatre, lightning just keeps on striking. The first three entries in Ghost River's Six Senses Series were runaway successes.
Erin Weir refuses to use the term 'girl power' to describe Full Circle Theatre's new play Porcelain Dolls, though those two words are always on the tip of her tongue.
The 20th annual Betty Mitchell Awards or Bettys for outstanding achievement in professional theatre will be held at Vertigo Theatre tonight.
We've passed the mid point of this year's Calgary Fringe Festival which means festival director Michele Gallant has announced the winners of the Best of Fest honours. These five encore shows will receive an extra performance on Aug. 12 in the venue where they are currently working.

RIHousing and POAH Team Up to Preserve More Than 1,000 Homes
Published on October 26, 2017	by Rhode Island Housing
Latest financing preserves housing for next generation of families, elderly and disabled residents
PROVIDENCE, RI — RIHousing's Board of Commissioners today approved financing to preserve 128 apartments for South Providence families, elderly, and disabled residents.
Oxford Gardens and Oxford Place, two adjacent properties located between Broad Street and Prairie Avenue in lower South Providence, were originally developed by the People's Redevelopment Corporation (PRC), a community nonprofit. After nearly three decades of ownership, PRC has selected developer Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) to carry on their important work and ensure the preservation of the developments. Under the terms of the financing, POAH will combine both properties into one ownership entity and will extend the affordability of the apartments for an additional 40 years.
"POAH is pleased to again partner with Rhode Island Housing to help provide additional affordable housing in the state. We are also pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with People's Redevelopment Corporation to build upon their excellent stewardship of Oxford Gardens and Oxford Place and help bring their vision for this property to fruition," said Aaron Gornstein, President/CEO, Preservation of Affordable Housing.
"As Board President of People's Redevelopment Corporation, I can say that our Board is pleased and excited to transfer the future stewardship of Oxford Place and Oxford Gardens to POAH, a truly committed, experienced and highly regarded developer with the capacity to renovate and sustain the character and positive impact of the Oxfords for many years into the future. POAH has been a tremendous partner to work with and we thank them for joining forces with our nonprofit, our Oxford residents and our Southside community," said Barbara Krank of PRC.
"RIHousing and POAH have a longstanding partnership, and this transaction — our organizations" 11th together — marks a milestone. In collaboration, we have preserved more than 1,000 homes. POAH is a nationally recognized leader in housing preservation, and I am proud that they continue to invest in Rhode Island," said Barbara Fields, Executive Director of RIHousing. "This transactioan is particularly meaningful for me because Oxford Gardens was the first development I toured when I began working in Providence more than 25 years ago. It is gratifying to help ensure its continued success."
Oxford Place and Oxford Gardens were originally constructed in 1978 and 1989, respectively, and utilized financing from RIHousing. Both sites are located within walking distance of public transportation, schools, shops and services.

Reception
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express wrote, "The director is not able to maintain the interest throughout the film". Thulasi of Kalki said the film has story within a story and that the film doesn't move a single bit from the old formula. He found Deva's music as melodious while appreciating editing as film's lifeline and he has worked hard to show story within a story without confusion but panned Sarathkumar's acting and Manojkumar's direction.

by IndieSFfantasy | Dec 11, 2014 | Dystopia, Reviewed, Scifi/Fantasy, Young Adult | 0 comments
There are elements of 1984 in here, and earlier chapters reminded me a little of the City of Ember, but I persevered and was able to engage with events a little easier after Dana's arrival at the Waste Management Plant. Her character begins to develop a little as she finds her way around this prison camp styled facility, making both friends and enemies, but a lot of the secondary characters did seem a little flat.
There are a few issues with the plot in this book, minor details that could be fixed by developing the characters a bit more. Overall though, I really enjoyed Dystopia, although I believe it is better suited to younger readers in the young adult age group. It was a quick read, but there were a lot of interesting dilemma's for the young protagonist to work her way through. I would certainly be interested in reading more from this author.

I have to say, every time I think nothing a duncey will do could surprise me, I have to eat my words (or thoughts) because some duncey will come out and do something so infinitely dotish, you wonder how the hell Darwin ever saw "Survival of the fittest" in evolution.
Female police officer Gillian Grogen charged Roma Sieunarine with seven charges, including her failure to produce her car insurance and driver's permit.
…the wrong law was used. Seunarine was only found guilty of parking in a no-parking zone, but was only reprimanded and discharged.
Bassaw [the magistrate] was also critical of the conduct of Grogen, who was alleged to have slapped Seunarine some 80 times during the altercation.
Is a wonder that Sieunarine woman ent buss some heavy hand on the duncey… then again, she must still have a lil 'respect' for them idiots. But to get slap 80 times?! Dat woulda be one duncey beating up on de ground if was me, yes.
This duncey break all past records for stupidity oui.

Making the Choice to Turn
Purpose Into Pain
What Others Are Saying About Bobby
"Bobby's dynamic personality led to a very engaging presentation with our 6-12th grade students. Numerous questions from the audience along with the clapping and cheering occurred throughout his presentation. Middle school students flocked to the stage after the assembly to meet him and to get their picture with him. We now have students requesting to visit with him during school tomorrow and these are primarily our extremely hard to reach, high-risk population of students that we as a school have not been able to connect with on a personal level. What a blessing to have East Central Behavior Health provide this incredible resource to Sioux Valley to help our students reach their full potential! We need more people like Bobby Jones in our schools on a daily basis to help advocate for today's youth!"
Belinda L. Miller
Sioux Valley School District, Secondary Principal
"Dear Assembly Selection Committee,
I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Bobby Jones. Today, we had Bobby come in and speak to our Middle School students and he did a wonderful job. By sharing his story, and the outcome of choices that he made, he was able to provide a message of hope to our students that forced them to reflect on the choices that they are making. His message of understanding the consequences of our choices, surrounding yourself with the right people, and being able to bounce back from mistakes in your life are all things that our students needed to hear. Bobby has a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and he was able to hold the attention of our students from beginning to end. I appreciated his honesty and enthusiasm. Bobby's passion for wanting to help young people is very evident. The feedback that I got from his presentation was overwhelmingly positive. The students connected to Bobby and our staff felt like his message was a great message to share with our students. It was a wonderful way for us to kick off a new year and semester. I would highly recommend having Bobby Jones as a speaker in your school."
