Sorry, Scorsese: The Oscars' Most Memorable, Likeable Tech Ads Were … Maybe Not What You Think
Both Apple and Samsung took the opportunity of the Academy Awards to introduce new, inspiring commercials: see "Apple's Oscars Ad Looks to Scorsese for Inspiration" and "An Ordinary Family Makes a Movie in Samsung's Funny Oscars Spot."
But the tech ads that rated better with viewers came from Adobe, the generally dull software company, and Samsung's waterproof phone.
Adobe's colorful "Inspire Creativity" retrospective earned an Ace Score of 642, according to research firm Ace Metrix, which asked more than 500 consumers watch and score more than 24 new ads during the Oscars. Its Ace Score is based on two measures: "persuasion," which reflects elements such as likeability, desire and attention; and "watchability," which gauges viewers' engagement with ads.
Samsung's "Waterproof" spot, meanwhile, got a 620, topping not only Samsung's auteur-encouraging commercial, which got a 614, but Apple's stirring Martin Scorsese-narrated filmmaker spot and Samsung's other ads for its phones and TVs, according to Ace Metrix.
The most most effective new ad of the night, by Ace Metrix's measure, was Dove's "One Positive Tweet to Start a Trend," which got an Ace Score of 652.

Green Dot
Green Dot is a violence prevention program that focuses on making our campus safer by empowering bystanders, like you, to become active members in reducing gender-based violence (intimate partner violence, stalking, and sexual assault). Green Dot will equip you with tools and strategies for taking action to help someone at risk for experiencing gender-based violence. During this workshop, we'll also talk about how you can overcome personal barriers to take action and help your fellow Cougs. After training, you'll feel confident in your ability to help stop violence before it happens.
Green Dot is mandatory
Green Dot is a mandatory program for all incoming first-year and transfer undergraduate students on the WSU Pullman campus. This includes all students who live in a residence hall, Greek residence, or who have an exception to the first-year, live-in rule.

There are nasty words everywhere in life, ones that makes you raise an eyebrow in surprise, or recoil in disgust. Some of them are printable, some most certainly not.
This week, I learned a new one: "Ceiling."
The UNCW baseball team was about an hour beyond a disappointing, frustrating exit from the NCAA tournament on Tuesday afternoon, and I began a social media conversation with a former StarNews intern and UNCW alumnus.
Bummed about another regional loss, he said the Seahawks were closer than ever to a super regional. I wasn't so sure. What could UNCW do to improve? Were 40 wins and a CAA title the best this program could ever expect? Is this the ceiling for a program that only a couple years ago wanted to be the #Omahawks?
The power of Twitter began here. Mutual followers, fans, parents and former players saw our talk and chimed in by the end of the day and throughout Wednesday. Few of them agreed with my reasons, based in cold, hard numbers:
- UNCW is now 0-for-8 in regionals, all in the last 15 years during the modern 64-team era with 16 regional sites.
- The Seahawks have never gone two-and-out, yet have never beaten a top seed in a regional, going 0-10 in those games with a cumulative score of 80-27.
- A super regional appearance would have brought in new donors that applaud this time on a bigger stage. Against the richest teams in the game, that is a huge help.
The counterpoints came in the forms of good feelings and optimism. They're also all true:
- Mark Scalf and the coaching staff at UNCW win the right way, graduate their players and have gained respect regionally and nationally.
- UNCW has improved its competitiveness against the best schools on its schedule, especially regional rivals like UNC and NC State, even though they are badly outspent.
- UNCW did all this in 2016 despite losing a bunch of players to the major league draft, so things should only get better.
Like any argument, we eventually started talking in a circle. Minds weren't going to be changed in these 24 hours. Nor should they have been.
What isn't in question is that something has to change for UNCW to make it beyond the final 32. The status quo won't work. Two seasons ago, a solid pitching staff and capable offense couldn't gel fast enough against a great team. This year, a once-in-a-lifetime offense and dance-through-the-danger bullpen were exposed by a team on the ropes.
We all know Mark Scalf will make adjustments. He's too smart not to. If it's a problem between the lines, he's got it.
Which means the questions of the past decade have returned for UNCW athletics: Can it find more money for recruiting and facilities in a heightened environment to help the program that has been its most consistent and successful over the past 15 years? Or will it have to be content as the dogged competitors who just can't get over the hump against the big boys?
My final comment came after a response that 15 years wasn't enough time to declare a ceiling on UNCW baseball. "We're still building," they said.
I feel it is enough time. After all, the response can be, "No, it's not the ceiling."
Someone's going to be right in the coming years. I'm OK if it's not me, but right now, I don't think I am.

Dan, I have pondered the same question for years, and not just regarding W, but my own alma mater, VCU. They too have been so close, and yet, not quite.
The CWS is much more prohibitive to mid-majors than the basketball tourney. In the latter a team has one chance to take down a big team, but in baseball it's best-of-3. If the basketball tourney was like that, we wouldn't have any mid-majors bubbling up to the final four.
I have noticed over the many years, once you break through and get the exposure of being in the CWS, even if you go 2-and-out, it increases recruiting dramatically.
W simply lacked the ability to close when things are on the line. Baffling how they let W&M beat them twice in the CAA champy. And when SoCack took the first game to beat two, with two nights to sleep on it, I sensed W would be coming home. One, SoCack is a woodchipper. W had them where they wanted them and let them up, and when you do that, you usually get crushed.
Now the team has two years of experience in the Regionals. Hopefully they learn from it and develop the leadership to close future tourneys. When you have your cleat on someone's neck, don't let them up.
Now… Go, East Carolina!!
The ceiling for UNCW is still Omaha. Scalf has indeed earned national respect and the program is considered a top tier mid major program. While it is difficult to compete with the pitching of the blue blood programs, there are examples of mid majors going to Omaha on a fairly regular basis. I thought all year that this was going to be the year for UNCW. On a similar note, I have been to a ton of college and minor league parks. Wilmington/New Hanover County's lack of a commitment to a big time ballpark is a glaring weakness in our baseball community. I watched Coastal Carolina thump one of the most storied programs in NCAA history, LSU, last night at LSU. They rocked Alex Lange who is one of the top pitchers in the country on his home mound in front of a huge and rowdy LSU crowd. Now CCU still needs to win 1 game to get to Omaha but I like their chances. It is not a coincidence that CCU is having so much success when you consider the unbelievably nice new stadium and facilities CCU has. They are now reaping the rewards of their investment. I think Wilmington needs to make a similar investment but I will not be holding my breath.

32 CFR 215.4 - Legal considerations.
(a) Under the Constitution and laws of the United States, the protection of life and property and the maintenance of public order are primarily the responsibilities of State and local governments, which have the necessary authority to enforce the laws. The Federal Government may assume this responsibility and this authority only in certain limited instances.
(b) Aside from the constitutional limitations of the power of the Federal Government at the local level, there are additional legal limits upon the use of military forces within the United States. The most important of these from a civil disturbance standpoint is the Posse Comitatus Act ( 18 U.S.C. 1385), which prohibits the use of any part of the Army or the Air Force to execute or enforce the laws, except as authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.
(c) The Constitution and Acts of Congress establish six exceptions, generally applicable within the entire territory of the United States, to which the Posse Comitatus Act prohibition does not apply.
(1) The constitutional exceptions are two in number and are based upon the inherent legal right of the U.S. Government - a sovereign national entity under the Federal Constitution - to insure the preservation of public order and the carrying out of governmental operations within its territorial limits, by force if necessary.
(i)The emergency authority. Authorities prompt and vigorous Federal action, including use of military forces, to prevent loss of life or wanton destruction of property and to restore governmental functioning and public order when sudden and unexpected civil disturbances, disasters, or calamities seriously endanger life and property and disrupt normal governmental functions to such an extent that duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situations.
(ii)Protection of Federal property and functions. Authorizes Federal action, including the use of military forces, to protect Federal property and Federal governmental functions when the need for protection exists and duly constituted local authorities are unable or decline to provide adequate protection.
(2) There are four exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act based on Acts of Congress.
(i) In the cases of each of the first three of those described, paragraphs (c)(2)(i) (a), (b), and (c) of this section, personal Presidential action, including the issuance of a proclamation calling upon insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably within a limited time, is a prerequisite.
(a) 10 U.S.C. 331. Authorizes use of the militia and Armed Forces when a State is unable to control domestic violence, and a request for Federal assistance has been made by the State legislature or governor to the President. Implements Article IV, section 4, of the Constitution.
(b) 10 U.S.C. 332. Authorizes use of the militia and Armed Forces to enforce Federal law when unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States renders ordinary enforcement means unworkable. Implements Article II, section 3, of the Constitution.
(c) 10 U.S.C. 333. Authorizes use of the militia and Armed Forces when domestic violence or conspiracy hinders execution of State or Federal law, and a State cannot or will not protect the constitutional rights of the citizens. Implements Article II, section 3, and the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
(d)House Joint Resolution 1292, June 6, 1968.1 Directs all departments of the Government, upon the request of the Secret Service, to assist that Service in carrying out its statutory duties to protect Government officials and major political candidates from physical harm. Assistance to the Secret Service is governed by DoD Directive 3025.13, "Employment of Department of Defense Resources in Support of the United States Secret Service," July 15, 1968. 2
1 Although this resolution has been placed in the Statutes at Large as Public Law 90-331, 82 Stat. 170, it has not been codified; it is set out in the notes to 18 U.S.C. 3056.
2 Filed as part of original copies available from U.S. Naval Publications and Forms Center, 5801 Tabor Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19120, Code: 300.
(ii) It should be noted that none of the above authorities, in and of itself, provides sufficient legal basis to order members of the Reserve components to active Federal service.

Battle to Implement Reform Needs More Attention
May 19, 2010 -- Passing health care reform was easy. Sure it was a legislative mess: It was too slow, too fast, too many pages and too short on specifics, too open to the influence of special interest lobbies – and too secretive, partly because the language was so complicated and difficult to translate into a simple narrative. Yet enacting health care reform was easy. Executing on real reform, now that's a challenge.
It's the same in Indian Country. The Indian Health Care Improvement Act is included as a section of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But this is only one item to check off on a long to do list, not the goal itself. The next steps are just as important as the law itself: Producing regulations that put the policy choices into action, funding by Congress to make the law work, and execution of the law by the employees of the Indian Health Service, the federal government, as well as by tribes and provider organizations.
The irony of this is how the media covers this issue. The fight over the law was news. It was a big story by any measure. However the equally important debate about health care regulations and the government's execution of the law will probably get about one-tenth of the coverage. It's harder to explain.
But one contest that is getting attention: The litigation by 20 states and other groups challenging the health care reform law. Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna recently posted this explanation about why he's pressing the case: First, the "unprecedented requirement that individuals lacking health insurance must purchase private insurance or face a financial penalty" and, second, because reform represents a "massive expansion of the Medicaid program, requiring states to spend billions more on this program at a time when state budgets are already in crisis."
That second point, it seems to me, is silly. No state is required to participate in Medicaid. And, if the burden is that great, then all a state would have to do would be to withdraw from the program. Indeed, the conservative Heritage Foundation said states could save $1 trillion by dropping Medicaid. But the states would have to do something else to provide its citizens with a health safety net – and that be costly too. Nonetheless, this idea, if taken to its logical conclusion, would require substantial changes in the Indian health system (because state rules govern the Medicaid process, even though the federal government pays for American Indians and Alaska Natives).
But it's also important to clarify what the states' litigation is not about. As McKenna wrote: "This suit will not 'overturn' or 'repeal' the new health care reform legislation. In fact, this lawsuit will not affect most provisions in the 2,400-page bill, including several of the provisions of the federal health care legislation scheduled to take effect this year."
In other words: Most of the bill is off limits. That includes the insurance provisions prohibiting denial of coverage over pre-existing conditions, expanding rebates for seniors' drug coverage, and the inclusion of young adults on their parents' plans. I would add that Indian Health Care Improvement Act to this off-limit list. It would be nearly impossible to challenge that provision legally because Congress has clear constitutional authority over Indian affairs.
If the litigation won't overturn health care reform, could Congress do that? Last week the web site Politico reported Republicans promising that course. "We're going to do everything we can to make sure this law never, ever goes into effect," Rep. John Boehner said at a news conference. "We're going to rip out every possible mandate and increase, tax increase, that they've got contained in this bill. And yes, I understand that President Obama's going to be in office."
Boehner's statement is telling. The Republicans will focus on the mandates and tax increases – not the entire bill. The Indian Health Care Improvement Act is probably, even in that Republican scenario, off limits. But it's also interesting to think about Boehner's understanding about President Obama being in office – to repeal the law (or any part of that) Congress would have to sustain a veto. That not only means winning enough seats in November to become the majority party, but also enough for a two-thirds margin. The problem with that logic is math: there are not enough Senate seats up for election to produce that many Republican votes. This is an empty promise – at least as long as Obama is president.
The Obama administration is moving quickly to implement health care reform by writing regulation at lightning speed. And that includes implementation of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act.
Remember: Passing health care reform was easy. Now the real fun begins.

Yay, I just got fired! Woot!
Most people don't usually send a message out to the whole world announcing this, nor are they usually excited about it. But, really, the day I got "Trump-ed" was the best day of the rest of my life.
As Gary Vaynerchuk, aka the "Social Media Sommelier" would say, I can now totally "Crush It!" I have no choice…and THAT is the greatest motivator ever.
By the way, if you (social media people) haven't read Gary's book yet, you really should!
No, the whole world doesn't care why I got fired, or what I plan to do, but I am confident there are many (too many) of you out there who can relate to my story.
Yes, I know it's trite, but it's just so darn true: We should all be pursuing our true passions. We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to those around us. Heck, maybe I can even help you determine #whatsyourwtf? (Wha? Just stick with me).
"Cause I'm Free To Do What I Want"…FTW!
So, do I know where or when I'll get my next paycheck? Not quite. Do I need a paycheck? YES. Do I have anything in the pipeline? Always. Should I be freaking out? Probably, but I'm not.
I finally have clarity. I finally have peace.
Now, all of this might sound a little melodramatic, but if you have any streak of drive or passion in you, you'll understand. (Don't know what your passion is? This guest post on Christine Kane's blog serendipitously wound up in my inbox last week, seriously).
The shackles are off. Physically. Emotionally. The painful "job" versus "passion" struggle is over. My mind and heart are finally congruent. I now have the luxury, yes, luxury, of busting my butt to make good on all those things tugging at my heart and settling for nothing less.
Yes, the whole termination meeting totally sucked, but it didn't come as a surprise (What?) and went down the way I fully expected (Really?). As manager, (err, former manager) of a PR department at an advertising agency for five years, I know how all that corporate junk works. I'm just surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Oh and yep, I cried. (Damn it, Jen, you said you weren't going to do that!) Oh well, I am human. Believe me, this was overly evident as I sat among the "HR Robots" in the room. Please agency guys, don't take it personally. Seriously, I know that's just the way it goes.
At one point in the meeting I got to thinking, "Man, I don't envy these guys at all right now. This completely blows. Could it be any more uncomfortable or uber unnatural for all of us?"
However, this whole process further validated that my dreams, skills, talents, goals and personality really do now belong in a different environment.
Fired Does Not Always= #FAIL
After handing over my office key and walking out the door, two+ years of pent up anxiety and tension literally rolled off my shoulders.
It was the most liberating feeling I think I have ever experienced (except for the time I showed up unannounced at my dead-beat dad's house for some answers – but, I digress). I also left very proud of my accomplishments, work ethic, integrity and with no hard feelings, seriously.
Did I make mistakes? You bet I did. Did they make mistakes? You bet they did. Who doesn't?
But, I think one very important thing to remember is that getting fired doesn't always mean you did something wrong. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. Sometimes, someone just has to pull the trigger.
Status Quo = #FAIL
For several years, my agency work was my passion. And, that passion proved to be very profitable and rewarding for the agency. With my nutzoid enthusiasm, I created a PR department from scratch, worked like mad to get PR integrated with the rest of the agency (fellow PR folks, you know the hell I'm talking about), landed our agency on American Idol, weathered growing pains, continued to be the much-needed advocate for PR and progressive thinking. I was having a blast.
The Make-up of @jenniferwindrum
Before going any further, for those of you who don't know me, I think a glimpse into my DNA may be a bit helpful. I ooze insane levels of passion, enthusiasm, compassion, commitment and loyalty. I love challenges. I love to be challenged. I need to be challenged. I love finding opportunities. I love being an advocate. I love change and all of its unknowns. I love pushing the envelope. It's "just me."
Fellow passionnites, you picking up what I'm laying down?
A few other notable "just me" qualities:
– I am extremely fascinated by my industry -PR/social media/journalism.
– I'm an adrenaline junkie. (Fun…for awhile).
– I love to work (too much, probably).
– I take tremendous pride in my work (too much, probably).
– I am a straight-shooter. I am so NOT a spinster in any way, shape or form. (And I work in PR? YES.).
– I stand up for myself (Hey, I have two older brothers).
– I fight for what I believe is right (for clients, for my employer, for myself, for my family, for others).
– I'm super duper big on accountability (Umm, yeah, like my mom's oncologist who forgot to schedule her chemo with his staff. My mom showed up on time. Unacceptable).
– I love to make a difference (too many to list).
– I am a progressive thinker (see below).
Not All Monkeys Are Cute
Fortunately, so far, these qualities have afforded me success throughout my career. However, as you can probably imagine, they can (and have) cause some "issues."
Here's the deal. Progressive thinkers make people work harder. Some people simply don't want to work harder. We all know some of these people. Hey, that's perfectly fine.
Progressive thinkers throw that whole "status quo" thing completely out of whack. Some people go for status quo. We all know some of these people too. Again, nothing wrong with that.
I don't "do" status quo. Honestly, I don't know how to. I have actually tried several times, but always came out on the losing side. Total "Fail Whale!" I'm just not wired that way. (Ok, failing at striving for status quo? Dude, that is so messed up).
Quick sidebar note: Just for the record I do have a much #lighterside. I prefer beer over wine. I sing everything from heavy metal to Italian arias. My favorite movie is Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, (the Gene Wilder original). I'm a total goofball. Oh, and I can stick my entire fist in my mouth (case in point). So there! (Dude, what you just said in this paragraph is even more messed up).
Ok, I digress again. Let me RT and further clarify: There's nothing wrong with the "don't-like-to-work-hard-ers" or the "status-quo-ers," unless I work with you and we work at an advertising agency, an industry that prides itself on providing cutting-edge, non-traditional and all things "forward." Let me make clear this statement is not an attack on my former employer in any way. Here's why.
Progressive thinking means change, and, understandably, not every business is as willing or logistically nimble to embrace it is as I am – or as one individual can. This is especially true when that change is of monumental proportions…when that change creates a complete paradigm shift in the world of communications and beyond…when that change throws an ugly monkey wrench in the way you've always done business…when that change just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming in humongous waves and IT IS SO NOT THE FAD YOU WERE BANKING ON…when that change…OOOOOO.MMMMMM.GGGGGG! WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS THIS MONSTER?
Social Media
Well, in a nutshell (or beautiful prizm), it's that little thing called social media.
"Wha? Who? Wha? You mean those social networking 'things' like Facebook and Twitter?" Yes, those and a bazillion other amazing "things" that encompass the social web – it's power, it's total awesomeness. Still don't get it? Here ya go.
Long story short, life as we've always known and lived it (personally and professionally) has forever changed. No, I am not exaggerating.
An unfortunate, but timely example: Haiti. Social media's role in the Haiti crisis has been utterly amazing on many fronts. Here's just one article on the subject.
As a former journalist turned public relations practitioner, I understood early on that social media was a total game-changer in my industry. A few years ago, I threw myself and my PR peeps into an "OMGweneedtolearneverythingwecanaboutsocialmedianow" whirlwind.
First of all, there is NO way to learn everything about social media. New tools and platforms, etc., are created and/or changed daily, hourly. While it was an overwhelming task, we dived in and remained fully committed to integrating social media into our PR repertoire -a natural and necessary merger.
My team pitched social media recommendations to specific clients and the clients jumped on board. I give these clients a tremendous amount of credit, as understanding social media's value and measuring its ROI was much more difficult than it is today.
Our results were great. Our clients were happy. The agency was happy. We were growing existing client accounts and bringing in new business.
However, despite my department success, like the majority of the corporate world at the time, the agency wasn't ready and/or structurally able to integrate social media company-wide. Back then, the jury was still out on the value of a tweet and/or chatting online with consumers. You know, that "engagement stuff."
But, I was beyond ready. Man, all the opportunities in the social space. I could see them. I could taste them.
I became more and more anxious and frustrated with my role as PR manager. I felt stifled and needed to further grow and utilize my social media skills and at a higher level. My bosses were well aware, as we discussed this many times.
I give them credit for trying to help me advance my social media career needs within the agency by spearheading the effort to integrate social media into all of its disciplines (creative, account service, etc.).
This was a great opportunity, but, logistically and realistically, a very slow one. Too late, too slow for me, anyway. I no longer had the patience or interest to look back. My passion was gone. I was on "E," and it was no secret.
So, "WTF?"
In my "spare time," I started putting part of my social media passion plan into action. F-bombs were flying everywhere.
In October, I launched a very personal and politically incorrect PR/social media campaign called "WTF?" (Where's the Funding)? for Lung Cancer" to increase awareness and funding for lung cancer. Yes, you get the double-entendre.
My mom has Stage IV inoperable lung cancer. No she didn't smoke. Yes, I DO have to point that out. Here's why. Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer and THE least funded. (Hang with me folks, just a little more PR on the issue).
Oh, and bet you don't know that more than 60% of all new lung cancer cases are found in people who have never smoked or former smokers who quit decades ago. Lung cancer is no longer a smoker's disease. No one deserves it.
I am on a mission to get rid of the stigma, get the facts out and get lung cancer the funding it deserves. I am chronicling my mom's journey, the bad, the worse and the ugly, as well as the stories of my "WTF-ers" to help make some real progress.
My mom is a total rock star. She's not only giving lung cancer a run for its evil money, she understands the importance of sharing her story in such a public way (AND the "WTF?" campaign name is 100% "mom-approved"). Super cool.
As hokie as it may sound, when I was little, I knew there was something I was supposed to tackle – a "cause" I was supposed to lend my voice to. At that age I had no idea what a cause was. At one point I thought maybe it was divorce (remember aforementioned dead-beat dad?). Naw, that's not it. Depression runs in my family and I've had my bouts with it. Maybe depression is my calling. Nope. (Whew). Five years ago, when my mom told me she had lung cancer – the mystery was instantly solved (unfortunately).
The overwhelming response and early success of my "WTF?" campaign tapped (SFX: Angels singing) into all of my missing "just me" qualities. I am able to be a strong advocate for something I'm extremely passionate about. I get to work with wonderful like-minded people whose sole mission is to make a difference. There is no choice. Lives are at stake.
We are making our voices heard primarily through social media strategies and tactics and progressive thinking is THE only option. Oh yeah, remember the whole "I need to be challenged," thing? Lung cancer is taking care of that too. Damn it.
Now WTF Else?
In addition to my "WTF?" campaign, I plan to put some of my other social media dreams in motion, including the launch of my True Dirty Laundry vlog where I will cover a wide variety of topics (social media, hard news, entertainment, investigative, etc.), interview lots of cool (and not so cool) people and put the power of social media to work in real time.
Long story short, if you (or your company or whatever) sucks, you won't want to end up on my vlog (unless you are smart enough to stop running away and come on my show). If you (or your company or whatever) don't suck, congrats!
Have story ideas? Want to be on the show? Let's chat.
In the meantime, to actually bring in some cashola NOW, I will continue with speaking engagements (social media, PR, reputation management, etc.), consulting and free-lance gigs…or entertain brand new ideas in the social space!! You know how to reach me.
So fellow passionnites, what's your "WTF?" I know a ton of "dream-world" ideas are swirling through your head, some you may have started to pursue, some you haven't. Bottom line: Wait NO LONGER.
Yes, you are busy. Yes, you are stressed. I'm telling you, the minute you start embracing your "just me" qualities you will be fulfilled and rejuvenated in ways you never thought possible. I am speaking from experience. My health is thanking me big-time too. I'm no longer forcing my mind to play the less than "B" actor it is for 8+ hours a day. Our minds and hearts don't like that whole "incongruent" thing.
You see, I couldn't pull the trigger, at least not before the agency did. The agency knew I wasn't planning to be there much longer. I was moving in a different direction. My focused had changed. To continue to invest in a "short-timer" doesn't make good business sense, especially when she/he is on the cusp of spearheading a major agency initiative. Time to cut the cord (way past time).
Just like most of you, I couldn't, in good conscience, just up and leave my job. I have a family. I need the income. But, I worked extra hard to start bringing the true "just me" back and it's the best career move I've ever made. YOU can do the same.
Firing the renewed "just me" was the best and most fair move the agency could make too. In fact, at the very end of my termination meeting, I tearfully shook the hands of my bosses and thanked them for letting me go. While I'm sure they weren't expecting kudos, I am sure they understood why.
Project Passionnite
Ok, passionnites, here's your assignment. Follow me along this blast of a journey. Tell me what your "WTF?" is and what you're doing to get it in motion. Feel free to leave comments on this post or if you are a Twitter freak like me (@jenniferwindrum), let's stay fired up and chat, using the "#whatsyourwtf" hashtag. It's time to rock OUR worlds, nobody else's.

Lady Oilers capture first district title in 26 years
February 13, 2017
PEARLAND — She has only been at the helm of the Pearland Lady Oilers basketball program for two years, but head coach Lauren Martens has seen her girls do something this season that no other team has done in 26 year.
And that is to be crowed district champions!
The last time that the Lady Oilers could make that claim was back in 1991.
Pearland faced their cross-town cousins, the Dawson Lady Eagles, who are fighting for a place in the post-season.
The Lady Eagles were hoping to get a strong start, but the Lady Oilers triple-dose of sophomore Macey Braswell, freshman Deyona Gaston, and senior Ravae Payne were too much for Dawson.
"It's hard to guard Deyona in the lane, and if they pack it in we have two kids that can light it up from outside," Martens said.
Dawson head coach Isabel Gomez understands the problems that those three players can create.
"Pearland's a different team now that they have Deyona back," Gomez said. "We collapsed inside on her, and we knew she would kick it out.
"They just made everything they shot, it seemed. We tried changing up to man in the second half, but they just have a lot of offensive weapons. I'm happy for Lauren and Pearland. They did a good job."
The Pearland trio opened the game with a 12-1 that eventually turned into a 17-4 lead after the first eight minutes of action.
Braswell had a pair of 3-point bombs while Payne hit one as part of the lopsided first quarter.
The scrappy Lady Eagles weren't going down without a fight as they battled back with Pearland edging them in the second quarter 18-16 for a 35-20 lead at intermission.
Gaston scored eight points in the frame while Payne and Braswell combined to launch three more 3-pointers that found the mark.
Pearland doubled up Dawson 18-9 in the third quarter for a 53-29 advantage entering the final period.
"I told our players to just keep fighting," Gomez said. "It works in your favor if you continue to fight because you'll have to do that in the playoffs. You can't let up even though you're down."
Martens was excited to learn that the Lady Oilers had captured a district title after so many years.
"The girls have worked hard and have been resilient and relentless," Martens said. "It is my first district title (as a head coach) and this team deserves it more than any team I've been a part of.
"We'll just keep pushing. We're not done yet."
Braswell finished as the game-high scorer with 24 points including 5-of-6 three-pointers while Gaston added 21 and 11 rebounds while Payne tossed in 15 with 3-for-5 treys.

Today I feel like a ghost who is destined to lug a hundred pounds of chains around for eternity. Okay. Not really, but I am that pale.
Yes. I have had a bit of a bug the last few days. Exhaustion. However, I'll power through it. I have books to read, write, and friends to talk to as well.
Did I mislead you by suggesting my horseback riding in Tucson was on Leap Day? Did I actually say that? Or was it inferred?
When I saddled up in Arizona, it was August. Yes. We grabbed a cheap flight there. No. We did not notice that the heat would kill us. Yes. We learned our lesson. Whew! It packed quite a wallop.
It was about three months before my rheumatologist diagnosed me with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and fibromyalgia. I had bad edema but couldn't use my diuretic because I'd get dehydrated. I was in agony. I already suffered from chronic pain but the heat set fire to my skin. The burning was relentless. I was cranky.
Suddenly, I couldn't even lift my leg the short distance to step up on the old two-tone green trolley. The driver and his young son, Silas, dressed in crisp white shirts and black pants, waited so patiently for me. They were so respectful, gentle and kind. Still, I felt humiliated and embarrassed.
One of my main goals on that trip was to go horseback riding. Besides, people touted about how the Arizona weather would be great for me. I never thought it could make the pain worse. Regardless, I vowed we would still follow through. So we did! I'm so glad too because I met Sugar, a chestnut-coloured horse with splotches of white on her rump.
Every little hill and dip in the terrain jolted me in Sugar's saddle. Every time I ducked forward to avoid being knocked off by tree branches was excruciating. It was the same as I pulled the reins and leaned back while we descended the steeper areas. I was a natural on a horse but my back muscles locked up as tight as a bank vault.
Despite all that, I loved the Sonoran desert. It was quiet. I got some great shots of cacti and different flowers. I patted Sugar's strong back in appreciation. She was majestic. I even managed a half-smile when we finished the trail and were back at the ranch. I laughed when they rolled the huge wagon wheel over again for me to step on while dismounting. I did it!
A strange thing happened later in the evening. We watched a flash lightning storm from our hotel window and the kaleidoscopic colours wowed us. It was another gorgeous sunset. Then we decided to walk across the street to the nearest convenience store for a cold drink.
"Oh My God!" a woman said, approaching us quickly, while we finished up at the cash. I heard her sandals clicking along the floor as she got closer. Normally, I would have stepped away but this time I didn't; I was so happy, I felt invincible. My friend and I exchanged blank glances. "I can't believe it!" she went on. We turned to face her with the sheen in our eyes unmistakable.
She was short, had jet black hair with flecks of blonde in it, and had the hands of a grandmother. Her brown eyes were huge as she yanked the red sunglasses off her face. Motioning with her hands, she cordoned off a huge and invisible circle around us. "I see angels all around you!"
"Really?" I said, not sure what else to say. I cracked open my diet pepsi and took a huge gulp. I instantly held the cold can against my right wrist, which was still swollen and sore.
"Yes! Everywhere. They're all around you!" She put her hand lightly on my forearm as she spoke. I met her glance and saw that warmth and kindness oozed from her every pore. "I just HAD to tell you!"
"Thank you," I said. I smiled and clasped her hand gently for a few seconds, as if she was a long-time acquaintance.
That brief encounter in Mac's reinforced my approach to everything. Inflammation will not stop me. Flu or fatigue will not stop me. Thunderstorms and tornadoes will not stop me. They may give me a super-bad hair day and contort me in pain like a Cirque de Soleil star. However, I will still mosey on no matter what.
