To watch all of them who had put so much hard work into practicing and preparing their concerto for the competition and to watch them on competition day, how incredibly dedicated they are and passionate and just the shear amount of talent that i got to see was stunning. Chelsea, congratulations, you won the competition. Thank you. What did you perform . I played violin concerto number 2 in d minor. Winning this competition has been such an amazing experience and im so glad that i was able to access all my emotions on such a huge stage like the smith center to all of the Young Students that were watching. You were this years runner up. But you won last year. Yeah. So im not feeling bad. Whats the experience been like for you over the past two careers . This is such an opportunity. Yeah.

Motivation to work hard and getting to solo with the las vegas philharmonic is something that drives and motivates me to this day. And having that experience makes me want to work hard to have experiences like that full time as a career in the future. What did you perform . I performed this year i performed the same piece that chelsea did, except i did the first movement. How long do you practice every single day . It usually depend, since i go to public school, i usually dont have a lot of time to practice, especially since its my junior year, i have a lot of studying to do. But usually like on the weekdays i woul to four hours. And then weekends, four to six, depending on if i have a competition. Thats dedication. Incredible. What do you guys see as the longterm goal for you . You want to do this for the rest of your life . Yeah. Like whats the dream gig . I think performing music for both of us. I really like solo.

Tom, how are thanks for having my. Thank you for joining us. Its from nick class sparks, so emotional. D it. Yeah. I read the scripolase, s we all know what this is. As i read through it, i realized this is different. It has all the elements you would expect from a Nicholas Sparks film, but it takes place over the course of ten years. You get to see these characters early on make choices in their lives and you get to see how the choices played out. I think there is an authenticity to the emotionality of what these characters go through. There is a lot of fun knowing that ross is going to be the and to be able to work, i was looking forward to it. Were seeing some clips of it right now cause were going to introduce to your character as the boyfriend at the time. So tell us more about your character in the film. My character, dr. Ryan, we kind of joked, didnt have a last name. But hes on the perfect path. Hes going to take over his fathers medical practice of the hes got the perfect girl. Going to propose. Things might change his course. You get to see him react to the fact that his girlfriend may have been with another guy. It was interesting. Its fun to play a character who doesnt get the girl and then to see how he reacts and how he makes choices for his life going forward. Kind of how love works. After youre already in a relationship and kind of wondering what if. Looking in a little bit on this one. Yeah. Its funny. We wanted to make it very hard for trace, for her character to make this choice between the two because her character is so great that she would never be with a bad guy to begin with. And for my character, it reay comes down do you really want to be with someone who doesnt want to be with you . How do you react . How do you respect their choice for ha they want in their life . Those are all sort of themes i wanted to explore through this character. Tell us about your costars. Who else is in the film with you . Theresa palmer, shes fantastic. Electric. She jumps right off the screen. Ben is fantastic. Very talented. Very different as far as we play very different characters, who both probably dont understand why trace would be with either of them. And then ross, our director, was a very big influence. He really helped create an environment where we could really support each other. Day right around the corner. Depending on who youre bringing to the movie with you, could be leaving with somebody else. I hadnt thought about that. You have to be careful. My congratulations on it. What other projects are you working on . Were working a number of projects. Were waiting to hear from cbs about a project that i was waiting for the green light to go shoot and hopefully on tv soon.

If you have a desire to pursue a career in teaching, wgu nevada is offering you a way to fill that dream. Joining us now with more is chancellor spencer stewart. Good morning. Thank you. Can you tell us about wgu before we talk about the scholarship. Absolutely. So wgu nevada is a fully online university. It started about six months ago where the state of nevada creating an affiliation with wgu. This is a university that targets working adults. It really is designed for them. So we started six months ago with just under 900 students and today we almost have double that. So we have seen Significant Growth over the last six months. There is certainly a need for it here in nevada. Thats why wgu exists. Absolutely. I think it really is designed to within the state as nevada tries to diversify, the realization is you need a skilled work force in order to do that, which is where wgu nevada comes into play. You are also here to talk about the scholarships that are available. Thats right. Last legislative session, the Legislature Passed an initiative designed to get more teachers into the profession and the state board of nevada, education board, just awarded wgu nevada 240,000 in scholarship funding. So we have 20 scholarships designed for individuals who have a bachelor or masters degree, not in the education field. These are individuals who want to change their career and get into the classroom. So this is an alternative route to license sure. This is an accelerated pathway classroom as soon as possible, given the Teacher Shortage that we have here. Absolutely. A lot of movement as far as the teacher are concerned. Im not great at math. So could you help m legislative it covers your full ride at wgu . Fantastic six instboard of education awarded these dollars to. So wgu nevada is working with five other institutions throughout scholarship . Very easy process. That stand to licenseure. In order to be eligible, oneedto be officially admitted to wgu nevada. Whats an alternate route. An alternate route to license entire four years just for teaching. You have that degree and this kind of attaches to that degree . Thats right. There are several ways to get into the classroom. There is the traditional route, degree program. And then there is alternative route where lets education degree. Degree. Classroom. I w track program where one can get licensed and typically that takes anywhere from one to three years. And this person already has a b. A. Degree . Thats right. They already have their fouryear degree. So then they can just fast track and get that teaching certificate. Thats right. And the costs of going to school can get expensive. So this scholarship would be fantastic for so many people. It is. Wgu nevada already has a low price point. So for a full Academic Year at wgu nevada, its 6,000. Thats a flat fee. That actually covers your textbooks as well. It does. Usually its not including the textbooks. So thats like another two grand. Wow. Whats interesting about wgu nevada is because were a competencybased provider, one is able to accelerate through their course work if they can demonstrate mastery. So the average time for a fouryear degree with us is about 2 1 2 years because people as students can accelerate through at their own pace. So at the end of the day, for a fouryear degree, this is without the scholarship, but for a fouryear degree, youre looking at 18,000, which is incredible. Absolutely. Less than one semester at some of the other schools that are out there. Thats right. What are the other programs and courses that wgu offers . Really a myriad . Thats right. We have four academic colleges. Business college, teachers college, our college of i. T. , and our college of health professions. So across these four academic colleges, we have 50 bachelors and masters degrees. You hit, these are all areas of high need areas in nevada. Thats right. Thats why nevada invited with, gu into the state because these are areas we certainly want to grow. And you can do this but at your leisure online, too, if you already have a job, but you want to get your certificate . Thats right the primary market for wgu nevada is the Adult Learner because this is a selfpaced curriculum. They can learn anywhere, any time. Comfort their home or after hours working. It really is up to them to advance themselves. You can keep your job and go to school at the same time. Thats right. Its really a phenomenal opportunity for some aspiring teachers out there. Great having this. Thank you. Happy to be here. Thank you so much. Depend, if youre an aspiring teacher, this is for you. Wgu nevada is offering up to 20 fullride scholarships to help you achieve your goals while pursuing a career in elementary or secondary education.

Still to come, he was a wild man inside the ring and hes equally wild in front of a wwe hall of Famer Mick Foley joins us. That and more on the blend. Staysome super big fun comedian sinbad and superbowl winner Mike Flannagan are live in studio plus former mayor Oscar Goodman with his big game pick people of flints, michigan are in a crisis with contaminated Drinking Water of the a new campaign is underway right now to help those affected. Here with more is ceo of zerowater, joe ceeb and doug kellam. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Thanks for having us. This has been in the news. Everyone is so upset about this water contamination. Can you tell us a little bit more about it . Our first reaction, we first started hearing about this back in october of last year. What came out was about the heightened levels of some Elementary Schools and also some increase significant increase in lead poisoning among young, young children. We got involved with the united way and ive got four young kids myself in elementary school, so i took it personally. Weve got a product, hopefully well have a chance to talk about the product. Weve got a product that happens to be the easiest to way to remove lead from Drinking Water. So we started distributing them to the schools through united way and theyve done a fantastic job. Phenomenal. Obviously lead in children is terrible. Life long repercussions. Exactly. Issue of Water Quality. Its not just in flint. This is something that all communities should be aware of because our infrastructure, what flint has, we may very well have as well. Thats exactly right. There is probably millions of homes throughout the u. S. That are just like those in flint with lead products that are distributing their water. If the chemistry changes in the system Water Quality or you disturb the pipes, you can slough off or dissolve off that lead into the Drinking Water. It could happen anywhere. Its a lurking problem that could happen in millions of homes that have lead, especially older homes. I say older, but could be 30 years old. Or not even that old. Lets talk about ways that we can protect ourselves. Sure. Well, actually joe generally i would say testing. Wouldnt you . There is one option is to make sure that you know, that youre aware of whats in your water. , because they cant monitor every home all the time. Because every faucet may have a different reading because its within their home. Weve done tests where we monitor like 12 different times during the day and it fluctuates widely during those times. Epa cant catch all of that. You worked with the epa in the midwest. I ran the u. S. Epa safe Drinking Water program in the midwest region which covers michigan for 20 years in my past life. This is a product here that helps us in our homes . This is actually the simplest and cheapest way to really remove lead from your water. And its a shortterm solution for a place like flint. Its a fantast thing to use. Thats why we felt such an obligation to get our products down there. So you can see the products are similar to the typical picture, simple, easy to use, pour are out there. Ours is the only one thats certified to remove lead. So it removes lead to the safe levels thats declared by the epa and the reason for that is its the filter. Its a very, very different filter technology. Its a superior patented, fivestage system versus typical twostage systems which removes essentially all of the stuff dissolved in your water, versus others remove roughly half of the dissolved stuff. So mostly what people get out of that is fantastic tasting water. But in the case of somewhere like flint, its a very, very simple way to remove lead. You just pop it into one of these devices . Yeah. You can see this one has one already installed. You can see the filter in there. You can see the filter is much, much larger than your typical filter. So it doesnt necessarily fix more water. It does a much more complete job at filtering. Absolutely. Exactly. You actually provide a test with the zerowater. What i did at home was we had one of the other brands and we put it in. It was getting a number like around 110. Yep. Then we ran it through zerowater and got all zeros on this. And you cant fake that. No, you cant. We dont make this. This is made by an independent company. Its a typical lab instrument. Its not to be used to measure lead because it cant discern lead versus other things. But it will tell you how many things are in your water and it will predict how good your water is going to taste. We get it down to 000 all the time. You got 000 of all things, then you got 000 of lead, too. Yeah. Again, this is available right now in stores so people can get it. Yes. Available in most major retailers. How many did you give away. We just introduced id filters for flint program. Its joint program with the united way of genesee county, located. We realized that this issue is going to last quite some time. Theyre going to need a lot of filters and we cant continue to provide. We asked our donors to provide and well watch. Weve expanded this to anybody that wants to match. This morning i found out one of the major retailers around the country i cant mention names yet will join us in this program. So it will be bigger and bigger. So so far i believe were up to about 10,000 or so filters. So its a good chunk of filters. No question. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for coming in with this piece of Technology Thanks for having this. Get the clean water to residents of flint, michigan, with zerowater filters for flint campaign. Theyll match every donation to the families of flint. To learn more about this and site or call the number on your screen. You can also find zerowater on facebook and twitter.

Legendary figure. We work really well together. I just came up with this, like bob is the shock and awe part of and then i come in as the peace keeper. Like a little mint after a really, really big dinner. You look out there, people actually are holding their stomachs laughing. Bob is so funny. Im the guy people go, thats clever. So in wrestling, you take face turn, heel turn, bad guy or good guy. Youve taken so many turns after wrestling. Its ridiculous. A spokesperson for rain. You are a santa ambassador. And hes wearing a shirt. Im wearing a shirt here. Last year went 365 days wearing something santa themed. Thats pretty remarkable.

I actually bring the document declaring me an ambassador so the kids dont get confused. Then you take the turn in comedy. How long you been doing this now . For about six years. After my first book was published in 1999, im not sure if you knew this or not, but it was a towering New York Times number one best seller. Of course. Actually two of those. Now youre bragging. Humble brag. I found the same type of stories that would make people laugh out loud. One of the greatest things you get is a spit take. Thats a badge of honor. I would hear about these Business People like get in certain first class, opening their briefcase, out comes one of my books. Next thing you know, theyre spitting their coffee in the guy in front of them. And i thought, why cant i do that in a live setting . Its work. You find out that its work. Oh, yeah. If youre lucky, you find a guy like bob levy who will freelandser. If it was not for him, i would not be on any show. He caught up with me after the worst show i ever had. He said dude, its not as bad as you think. Ordinarily, dude, if someone goes 4 1 2 minutes without a single laugh, theyre done. Okay. So those who dont know, 1998, you were tossed off okay. Means Something Different in different parts of the world. Thrown off the stage, and then youre like what the heck. Lets do it again. I wasnt like ah, what the heck. You get slammed into the ring like 15, 20 feet below. Just giving away most of my show, by the way. That or having a fiveminute set. I got to tell you, i realized volunteer for rain, its easier to compartmentalize or understand the physical pain. You understand why this hurts. When you are in pain mentally and im not trying to tie in like, well, i hate this criminal act to the way you feel when youre on stage, but its really hard to understand why something hurts that bad, which is why no matter how bad someone is doing on stage or in life, im the guy who is going to reach down and give them a hand. I dont care how bad a comic is. Im not saying that young mason who is here in vegas for the first time, brother of my great rival, randy ortono oh, my goodness. And son of cowboy bob orton junior who i tag teamed with in 1990. Kid, no matter how bad you do, im going to be clapping for you. Okay . The kind of guy i am. Its great having you.
