Nearly 25 years as an emergency medicine physician has provided Dr. Rob Davidson with a wealth of knowledge in practicing health care. Two years ago, however, he decided that he needed more. He began pursuing a Master of Public Health degree in the online Population and Health Sciences program at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.  “I've always been right at that point of health care where you meet people at significant moments in their life,” said Davidson, a West Michigan-based physician. “The ER seems far removed from the goals of population health and public health, but you come to realize just how much people's wider world has an impact on what brought them to the ER at that point in time.”  Davidson pondered earning his master's degree for a while, having seen colleagues who earned their MPH go on to impact local health outcomes. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he knew that pursuing an MPH was the right next step.  Join us Monday's and Thursday's at 8EST for our Bi Weekly Happy Hour Hangout's !  Pete on Blue Sky Pete on Threads Pete on Tik Tok Pete on YouTube  Pete on Twitter Pete On Instagram Pete Personal FB page Stand Up with Pete FB page All things Jon Carroll  Follow and Support Pete Coe Buy Ava's Art  Hire DJ Monzyk to build your website or help you with Marketing Gift a Subscription https://www.patreon.com/PeteDominick/gift

Tara Erickson, Aaron Alexander, & John Humphrey react to Disney's 2025 live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, a reimagining of the beloved 2002 animated classic. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), this new adaptation blends heartfelt family drama with sci-fi adventure and updated visual effects to bring Experiment 626 to life like never before. Newcomer Maia Kealoha stars as Lilo Pelekai, a spirited Hawaiian girl coping with the loss of her parents while trying to fit in at school. Sydney Agudong (On My Block, West Michigan) plays her older sister Nani, fighting to keep their family together. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Baskets) takes on the role of the bumbling alien scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba, while Billy Magnussen (No Time to Die, Into the Woods) portrays the uptight Earth agent Pleakley. Chris Sanders, the original voice of Stitch and co-director of the animated film, returns to voice the mischievous blue alien once again. The film features iconic scenes reimagined in live-action—including Stitch crash-landing in Hawaii, Lilo adopting him from the animal shelter, the chaotic surfing sequence, and the emotional climax centered on the unforgettable line, “ʻOhana means family.” With a blend of action, heart, and humor, Lilo & Stitch (2025) updates a modern Disney favorite for a new generation while honoring its original legacy.

Spar was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City, attending public schools. A violinist since age 6, he earned his bachelor's degree in music education from Ohio State University, graduating in 1994. That same year, he went to Daytona Beach to teach at Turie T. Small Elementary School, where more than 90 percent of the students lived in poverty. The music teacher soon found his voice as an advocate and has worked ever since on behalf of public school students, schools, teachers and education staff professionals. “I could not read when I was in first grade,” Spar recalls. “I struggled in school. But the educators in my life were empowered to make my success a priority, and that's just what they did. I want the same world for my family and for all of Florida's children.” At Turie T. Small, Spar served as school-improvement chair for two years and as a union steward for seven years. He would go on to become president of his local union in May 2003 and led Volusia United Educators until he was elected FEA vice president in 2018. In September 2020, he was named FEA president after the previous president, Fedrick C. Ingram, was elected secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers. During his 15 years leading the Volusia union, Spar negotiated 14 contracts, handled numerous grievances and arbitrations, and spent many long hours advocating for members and working families. In 2017, he led the merger of the Volusia Teachers Organization and the Volusia Educational Support Association to create Volusia United Educators(link is external). The new union has nearly 3,800 members and represents more than 6,000 teachers, paraprofessionals and office specialists in Volusia County Schools. Throughout his career, Spar has served on committees and task forces for the AFT. At FEA, he spent eight years on the executive cabinet. He also has served on the executive board of the Florida AFL-CIO(link is external) and was secretary-treasurer of the organization from January 2016 until September 2020. Spar's wife, Vernell, is also a public school music teacher.  The Committee to Protect Health Care, composed of over 36,000 doctors and advocates across the United States, drives lasting change in health care by using our tested and proven strategies across everything we do.
