07.28.2009 / KETV Back to School Drive
August is here - summer activities are winding down, the sun is starting to set earlier and it is time for students and parents to begin getting ready for another school year. As any parent knows, school supplies are expensive. The KETV Back to School Drive - now in its 11th year - is helping make things easier for families in need during this costly time. First National Bank has supported the drive for nine years and is excited to help out again.
Since June 29th, people from the community have been invited to drop off school supplies at any First National Bank branch in the Omaha metro. If you haven't yet dropped off any supplies but want to - don't worry! Donations will be welcome through August 12th.
Join us on Monday morning, August 3rd, KETV and the Big O! 101.9 will be at our 132nd and Center branch to collect school supplies. Both stations will be broadcasting live from the branch and - whether you are commuting to work or running errands - you can drop off your donations and supplies. It will be a fun morning and it's always exciting to see the tremendous support from the community!
In 2008, the Back to School Drive provided over 9,200 backpacks to needy students and it wouldn't have been a success without the generous support from the community. This year, it's even more important for people to get out and donate. It's a challenging economy and more students are expected to need school supplies this year.
Remember that you can stop by any of the First National Bank branches in the Omaha metro area until August 12th. Monetary gifts are also encouraged, which can be mailed to the Salvation Army, 3612 Cuming St., Omaha, NE 68131.

Staff report
About 40 demonstrators from Frackfree Mahoning Valley blockaded access to a horizontal fracturing well under construction in Jackson Township on Sunday.
The well is operated by Consol Energy, and the group says it is located within the environmentally protected area that surrounds the Meander Reservoir, which provides more than 200,000 people in the Mahoning Valley with drinking water.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a process in which sand, water and chemicals are pumped into shale at high pressure to release natural gas and oil trapped within the rock thousands of feet underground.
The protesters blockaded access to the well pad for almost five hours, starting at 10:45 a.m., after which the blockade was ended, according to Sam Rubin, a member of the anti-fracking group.
The blockade took place without arrests or confrontation with workers or police, Rubin said.
Protesters were supported by people from across Ohio, who chanted, sang songs and listened to addresses by the Rev. Monica Baisley-Martin and Atty. Staughton Lind.
The action was organized under the banner of Frackfree Mahoning and Frackfree America.
According to 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator's broadcast partner, Consol Energy says safety, compliance and continuous improvement drive its operations. The company says it takes its operational footprint very seriously and has worked closely with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Agency to obtain all necessary permits. That includes a floodplain permit to operate at the site.
Frackfree Mahoning Valley contends that fracking contaminates ground and surface water. They say that no matter the safety record of a company, wells fail, and over time, all wells break, becoming sources for water contamination.
Group members say the main objective is to see to the safety of families in the area.
This action comes just days before the Youngstown City Council is set to decide whether to sell mineral rights on city lands. The city may consider selling its mineral rights to raise more money for demolition and neighborhood improvement projects.
How did these frackophobes get to the site? What do they use to heat their homes?
timmie ryan supported wind and solar farms. Where are these green energy alternatives in the Valley?
Vindy: You have probably written over 500 articles on the gas industry so far. We all know what hydraulic fracturing is. You can drop the explanatory paragraph (third paragraph) now.
Drilling one hole for oil and gas on leased property using composite concrete for encasement without injecting brine and other hazardous substances and fracturing the shale and extracting the oil and gas TO BE USED IN THE USA- YES.
Horizontally drilling many holes invading other people's property (including State-owned property such as Meander Reservoir and Beaver Creek State Park) and injecting brine and other hazardous substances causing pollution of groundwater (that will pollute Meander Reservoir, Beaver Creek and the Mahoning River) and then fracturing the shale and extracting the oil and gas TO BE USED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE USA- NO!!!
(And why are "landowners" not allowed to extract oil and gas on their own property for their own use or for starting their own business selling oil and gas to their community?- maybe because so-called "landowners" really don't own the land to begin with?)
"Don't be fooled"
It's all about THEIR $$$MONEY$$$ that they use to their advantage to control us.
It is all about the Benjamins my friends...$$$$

The Cookware Co., Helen Of Troy Develop OXO Good Grips Cookware Line
Thursday June 19th, 2014 - 4:53PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
The Cookware Company, which manufactures GreenPan ceramic non-stick cookware, has entered into a strategic licensing agreement with Helen of Troy to develop a cookware collection for Helen of Troy's OXO brand. According to The Cookware Company, the partnership will broaden its reach in the cookware market, as the new line will incorporate materials and cookware styles new to The Cookware Company. For Helen of Troy, the licensing agreement extends OXO's reach into a strategic new category for the housewares brand.
"We are very excited about this collaboration," said Wim De Veirman, CEO of The Cookware Company. "The Cookware Company is driven by modern design and is constantly developing new manufacturing technologies, using new materials, processes and coatings. Our new arrangement with OXO opens up a whole new range of opportunities. It allows us to apply our vast knowledge and experience in manufacturing and designing both high-quality and original cookware to a dynamic and respected brand platform."
Founded in 1990 on the concept of Universal Design, OXO's mission has been to create consumer household products that ease the tasks of everyday life for the widest range of users possible, according to Helen of Troy. The OXO collection has grown to more than 800 SKUs, covering kitchenware, cleaning, gardening, storing, organizing and lighting.
"Cookware is a category OXO has considered seriously for years. Ultimately we felt that a strategic license agreement with a partner as innovative as The Cookware Company would bring unique access to design and technology from both companies at the best possible value for the consumer. We are very excited about this relationship and look forward to bringing thoughtful and meaningful products to a category as essential to any kitchen as cookware," Alex Lee, president of OXO, added.
The Cookware Company and OXO share a commitment to creating thoughtfully designed, functional products that last, the companies said in a joint statement. The newly developed collections of OXO Good Grips cookware are the result of both companies' rigorous and inventive design and new product development methodology, they continued.
The new OXO cookware program is designed to offer high-quality products that focus on functionality and comfort and will launch under OXO's Good Grips brand with three collections: two lines of hard-anodized aluminum cookware and stainless steel cookware.
Features of the OXO cookware line include the use of premium materials, PFOA-free coatings and advanced manufacturing and forging processes, designed to extend the OXO brand's reputation for high-quality, long-lasting products to cookware, The Cookware Company said. For example, OXO Good Grips cookware will include forged aluminium construction, new functional shapes and ergonomic handles, a signature of OXO Good Grips in other kitchenware categories. "We have carefully studied OXO's brand DNA and considered what OXO stands for, resulting in what is now called smart shapes. Each piece is designed to complement OXO's message while incorporating our innovation," Jessica Fucale, a marketing spokesperson for The Cookware Company, said.
The cookware assortment is targeted toward the mid to premium retail segment with a distribution strategy that mirrors OXO's current retail distribution for its Good Grips brand, according to The Cookware Company. Historically, OXO Good Grips kitchen tools have retail placement in specialty, department store and gourmet channels. Pricing structure for the new OXO cookware will offer a good, better, best story to provide options for all consumers, Fucale added. The new OXO cookware is expected to be available for shipping in September.

The US-led invasion of Iraq, without a United Nations mandate and against the wishes of millions across the world, is a severe blow to the cause of multi-lateral resolution of international problems.
The 'Stop the War' campaign, which brought together a broad cross-spectrum of South Africans, joined the world community in expressing its opposition to unilateral acts of agression against sovereign states.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

"It's not very comfortable for me to be a sex symbol. That's why I enjoy being involved with the younger kids, because they relate to me just being the girl next door." -Hoku
The 18-year-old Hawaiian pop star is skyrocketing into the music industry with her incredible voice, as featured on the Snow Day soundtrack and her self-titled album.
Hoku BiographyBorn in Hawaii, Hoku is the seventh of former Hawaiian pop star Don Ho's 10 children, but the first of Ho's two children with Patricia Swallie Choy, also a former singer. Hoku is the only one of Ho's offspring to have embarked into the music industry.
Hoku's beginnings in the music industry can be traced to the days when she would appear on the stages with her dad, who became an international pop star in the 60's with the song "Tiny Bubbles".
At the age of 11, Hoku performed a solo rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" during one of her father's shows, and she literally stole the spotlight from her father. Whitney has not only had a career of her own, but she has also played a role in helping other budding pop stars such as Christina Aguilera and Coco Lee breakthrough the industry. Christina and Coco were discovered by singing their own versions of Whitney's songs, both being inspired by the diva herself.
Hoku, whose name is the Hawaiian translation of the word "star", is well on her way to becoming a diva. Producer/songwriter Antonina Armato (who has worked with Mariah Carey and Vanessa Williams) was in the audience when Hoku delivered her show-stopping performance. Blown away by Hoku's "pure" voice, Armato signed on as Hoku's producer, and together they co-wrote four of the songs that appear on her debut album.
The Hawaiian star moved to California and began attending San Diego's Loma Nazarene University. She had to put aside her studies after signing a record deal with Geffen Records.
A mere two months later, Hoku recorded her first single, "Another Dumb Blonde", which is on the soundtrack for the movie Snow Day. When the video for "Another Dumb Blonde" aired for the first time on MTV's Total Request Live, it became one of the Top 10 videos the next day.
Hoku was released on April 18 and since then, the singer shows no signs of abating. She recently appeared in a Tommy Hilfiger fashion show, along with already established singers Mary J. Blige, Mandy Moore and TLC.
A devout Pentecostal Christian, Hoku prefers to be considered "the girl next door" rather than have the sex symbol image of her bubble gum pop counterparts, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Although she embraces the same "girl power" attitude as her fellow pop stars, Hoku prefers to embrace the present and not worry about the future too much. Presently doing what she loves to do most, Hoku knows that if her popularity does decrease, she can always go back to singing with her legendary dad.
With a gold certified single ranking high on the Billboard Singles charts, a hit debut album and a slew of fans, chances are this star will not be joining her dad on stage any time soon.

Arriving at her locker the next morning she looked around wanting to avoid any conflicts. She saw no one around her that would cause trouble and unlocked her locker before opening it. Unlike many girls lockers, there was no pink, no Justin Beiber posters, nothing glittery or fuzzy. No, the only think stuck to her locker was her class schedule. She figured this was a safe place to keep it to remind her of what books she would need to get when she went home. She sighed, she wasn't normal, so she wouldn't even try to be. She didn't feel the need to fake happiness and make a bunch of preppy friends.
She put her books in and before she could shut the door someone did that for her. She jumped as someone slammed the door shut almost on her hand. She looked up and was met with the red eyes of Alfred, the one who had threatened her the day before. He was giving her a cold look.
"Well, what do we have here Mathew?" he asked and (Name) turned to her other side where the Canadian was standing.
"It looks like a girl who needs to learn her place here. If you want to go somewhere that we have claimed you need to pay your dues." He said and tugged on a strand of your hair.
The young girl didn't respond, were they asking for money or were they going to strike her? What did it matter? She had no money and didn't feel pain physical pain like normal people did.
"So why don't you let us know why we should jump you right here and now?" Alfred said.
"I have nothing you would want." She said simply, "It wouldn't benefit you in any way."
She hoped that her logic would save her this time.
"We didn't tell you what we want." Mathew said with a dark smirk.
"I don't have it." She said, "I have nothing that would benefit you."
Alfred smirked and said, "Oh, we bet you have a lot."
"BOYS! What did I say yesterday?!" a British voice broke through the air, it sounded rather irritated.
Instantly the two bullies were away from (Name) and both boys were glaring at the new comer, it was Oliver, once again, jumping to her rescue. He glared right back and told them that the way they were acting was no way to treat a lady. (Name) had to bite back the uproarious laughter that threatened to spill from her bare lips. A lady? Her? There was no way in Hell.
"Alright, alright. We get it!" Alfred finally said annoyed, "You really tick me off sometimes Oliver."
"Will you leave the girl alone now?" he asked, irritated by how impolite his brothers were acting.
"Fine. We'll leave her alone." Mathew said and under his breath muttered to where he couldn't hear, "When you're around."
"Good." Oliver said and (Name) used this moment to sneak away.
She knew that this was not the last time she would be hassled by the two, but it's not that it mattered anyway.
----- ---- -------
In the halls Alfred tripped her.
At lunch he stole her lunch and dumped it in the trash.
In the halls Mathew shoved her.
At lunch he pushed her head.
They pulled her hair in class and pushed her. They were trying hard to get a rise out of her, and she wouldn't let them. Mainly because she didn't have a rise to be let out. She just took it, like any other broken girl would.
As it turned out she was in the same creative writing class as Oliver and he sat near her like the other two. She didn't know why, but she didn't acknowledge that she noticed, she merely wrote her poems and let him be. Though once she looked up and met his bright blue eyes and saw worry swirling in them, though it was hard to pick out. She shook her head and went back to work, he probably wasn't worried about her, so why should she even think about that.
As class ended she hurried to her locker, she wanted to get to there fast and get her things and hurry home so she didn't have any more hassle for the day. She'd had enough. But as was tradition in her life, fate decided to screw her over.
Just like the day before she found herself pinned to her locker by two dark boys standing behind her. She bit her lip and didn't say a thing. She just wanted them to get their taunting over and done with. She needed to get home, her rent was due.
"So, what do we do with what we've just caught?" Mathew asked Alfred.
"Hmm…I wonder how she'd react to this." Alfred said and pushed her hard against the metal door of her locker.
She winced and grunted, it was rather uncomfortable. She knew that it was going to get worse before it gets better. She just wanted for them to just get it over with it, beat her to within an inch of her life like she was sure they were planning to and get it over with. Maybe they'd finally get it done and that she'd actually die and she'd finally be at peace and out of the hell of a life that had broken her down to the entity of nothing that she was.
"Mathew, Alfred! Get out to the car!" came Oliver's voice through the hall.
"The second he's not around you'll be in trouble." Alfred hissed in her ear before walking off muttering irritated under his breath.
Mathew tugged on a lock of her hair before walking off as well. Oliver walked over and apologized for their actions. She shook her head and sighed, it didn't matter. She was nothing, broken, however they acted yielded no profit, nothing, so why stop them?
---------- ------------ ------------
Her days went pretty much the same. Alfred and Mathew tormented her, Oliver stepped in and stopped them. They threatened her and walked off and bullied her later. But each afternoon before Oliver got there things seemed to get rougher and harsher. But they never finished things, she didn't understand it. They must be really sadistic, they wanted to prolong her pain.
She was used to sadism, since life was the biggest Sadist of all and it liked to play with her.
Though one day she knew things were going to get serious…Oliver was absent.

On tonight's episode of "Auction Hunters," Pawn Shop Edition, Ton Jones and Allen Haff who have dug through hundreds of unclaimed storage units hunting for discarded treasure, now own a shop called Haff Ton Pawn Shop, on this episode titled, "You Foos You Lose."
As the episode opens, the guys are ready to hit an auction, as Big Sis hands them the keys after having it tuned up. They are headed to West Los Angeles, where people have money, so they expect great things, when the truck breaks down. They manage to get there via Big Sis, and to add another miserable part to their day, those guys who continue to overbid them are there.
The first unit contains boxes of Twinkies that are no longer made by Hostess. However, the over-bidders got them for $1,300.
The next unit did not appeal to either Allen and Ton or the over-bidders; it contained remnants of a sleazy bedroom and lots of porn films, but somebody got it for $50.
The last unit, contained things from a man-cave; video games, a foosball table, and other things that appeal to guys. They got this one for $825. They found great stuff they can use for their shop, including a Fender banjo, a stripper pole and the foosball table that probably was made in the 1960s. Then Ton found a metal box containing Tommy Gun parts. Big Sis came by with a rental truck, and the guys loaded it up.
At the shop, they set up the foosball table, and Terry; a professional foosball player came by to see it in action. They played Terry and if they could score just one goal, she got the table for $900, but if they did not score, it was $700. She got it for $700!
When they brought the Tommy Gun parts to an expert, he was thrilled, but he was unable to purchase them. The guys could give them to him, but the law did not allow them to sell these because they were high-powered weapons, and they must be licensed to do so. Because the guy was connected with the film industry, they can receive a kickback wherever these are used in a movie. But Ton had a chance to shoot something with them before they went on their way. If and when they ever see anything from them is up in the air, but just being able to shoot a Tommy Gun was all the enjoyment Ton needed.
At the end of the day, they spent $825 for the unit and bought $100 worth of Twinkies from their Frenemies, but with the banjo selling online for $1,250, they hopefully had enough money to fix Betsy on this episode of "Auction Hunters."

What To Expect
Mount Tai is one of the five greatest mountains in China. In ancient times, the mountain was always a shrine for the emperors to offer ceremonial sacrifices to heaven and earth. Architectures in the mountain are mainly Ming and Qing styles, with a combination of paintings and stone sculptures. The sunrise is one of the most spectacular scenes of Mount Tai.
The day begins as you are picked-up from your hotel at around 07:30. Upon reaching the foot of Mount Tai, you will take a shuttle to the Central Heaven Gate where you will then take a cable car ride to the summit. As the cable car takes you to the top of the mountain, enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding landscape. At the mountain top, we will have a tour of the celestial street.
After lunch, we will visit Daguan Peak and see stone monuments setup by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Afterwards, we'll ride the cable car back down the mountain. At the end of Day 1, you will be transferred to your hotel in Qufu (at around 18:00).
The day begins with a pick-up from your hotel at around 08:30 for a trip to Qufu, which was once the capital of the Kingdom of Lu, and home to sites such as the original Temple of Confucius, the Confucian Forest and the Kong Family Mansion.
Upon reaching Qufu, you will visit the Cemetery of Confucius, known under its Chinese name Kong Lin and more commonly referred to as the "Confucian Forest", a cemetery of the Kong clan (the descendants of Confucius) in Confucius' hometown. Confucius himself and some of his disciples are buried there, as well as thousands of his descendants.
Afterwards you will visit the Temple of Confucius (or Kong Miao in the local language). It is the "original", largest and most famous of the temples of Confucius in China and East Asia. Along with the Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion, the temple has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
After lunch, we'll visit the Kong Family Mansion (also known as the Yanshenggong Mansion). This was the historical residence of the direct descendants of Confucius in the city of Qufu. The extant structures mainly date from the Ming and Qing dynasties. From the mansion, the family tended to the Confucian sites in Qufu and also governed the largest private rural estate in China.
At the end of your tour, you will be transferred at the Qufu Train Station where you can take a bullet train going to Shanghai or Beijing (at around 16:00).

CSI exhaled and started unveiling his past...
That was about 25 years before Mandalorian Wars. CSI woke up in a breeze. He put on his Jedi Master Robe, and walked to the Initiate Training Chamber. On the way there, CSI was greeted by many fellow Jedihe was a famed Jedi Warrior Master and Jedi Gate Master. In the chamber, he saw Jedi Younglins, who shout in a row: Good Morning, Master CSI! Good morning, Younglins. So I think your master overslept again? Suddenly, he felt a killing intent, and a green bladed lightsaber was slashing towards him. Ah, sneaking on people, not good! CSI smiled and ignited his blue lightsaber. Good morning, Master Mutukai. Two lightsabers locked together. Hehehe, not bad, Master CSI. I can see your skills improved since last time we met. Then he retracted his blade.
CSI retracted his blade, too, and bowed to Master Mutukai, the TwiLek Initiate Training Master, Good morning for you too, so lets start our routine sparring?
Are you ready? He didnt use his lightsaber, instead, he grabbed two training Lightsabers and tossed one to me.
As always. CSI caught the blade and the two fought on.
This situation had continued for 2 years, until Master Mutukai was dispatched onto a mission, and was killed by Sith. Before he died, he told CSI via the Force: ::CSI, be a Jedi Initiate Training Master. And take my daughter as your padawan. I know you wont let me down. Farewell, CSI.:: Then he felt Mutukais presence vanished
The next day, CSI went to Mutukais quarter, and found a small TwiLek baby in a small bed.
That must be Mutukais daughter. Ill name her Toent Bekunn. Mutukai, I promise you, I wont let you down.
After 15 years, Toent Bekunn sworn oath and became CSIs Padawan. After 5 more years, she became a Jedi Knight.
After the knighthood of Toent Bekunn, CSI was summoned by the Jedi Council. When he entered the room, he made a polite bow: Masters, you summoned me?
Yes. Were sending you to Ryloth and investigate the Sith Activities there.
Ok, when should I go?
Tomorrow morning, at 0100 hours. So why dont you prepare yourself?
Yes, Masters. Then he exited the council room.
That night, CSI went to Toents quarter, and found Toent was sleeping on her bed. CSI smiled, and left a note near her bed. Then he touched her lekkis as goodbye, and then he boarded the ship to Ryloth.
When he got off the ship, he found there were thousands of Twileks swarming in the spaceport. He saw many of them got on to an big transportation ship. But the unusual part is CSI noticed theyre hooked in chains. CSI felt something is wrong. Soon he found a bystander: What happened?
That bystander looked surprised: You dont know?
CSI shook his head.
Ah! Thats called slave trade. People from around the universe use money to exchange for the TwiLek slaves. The bystander explained.
Slave Trade? Didnt Republic ban it already?
Thats right, but the local authorities has no power over it!
Do you know where the slavemaster is? CSI thought for a while and holding out a 10-credits bill, And if you can answer me, here it is10 credits.
The bystander was happy, and he said: When you go out of the spaceport, make a left turn, just go straight, youll see a big castle-like house, then youre in the right place.
Thank you. CSI gave him the 10 credits bill.
CSI went to the slavemaster's castle, and shouted: I, Jedi Master CSI, am here. Lets sit down and talk.
After a while, I was taken to a small room. And the droid which took me there told me politely: Sir, please wait here. My master would be with you shortly.
CSI waited there for about 10 minutes. Suddenly the poison gas began to come out of the vent. Damn He casted Breath Control, and a blue sphere appeared around him. When he walked out of the door, he found he was in a holding cell. And inside of other holding cells, he found lots of other slaves. They were suffocating, gasping for air. Seeing them suffering, CSI finally gave in his hatred and anger. He ignited his lightsaber and cut the main exit a big hole and began the massacre in Slavemasters castle. Ahhhh!!!! He knew nothing, and he only can feel the fury. After him there lie many corpses. Finally, he located the Slavemaster. Meanwhile he was shivering in his chair.
Have mercy!
Why should I? Look what you have done to them? CSI said angrily.
You cant struck me down! Youre a Jedi!
Saying nothing, CSI raised his lightsaber, the lightsaber struck directly into his heart--Thus, CSI is vanished. Darth Nihilus appeared.
On the Ravager.
Darth Nihilus stood on the bridge. The Jedi Exile, Sera Tana, came in with a stern voice, Im here, Darth Nihilus.
Hello, Jedi. Darth Nihilus turned to see Seras face. I see my former Apprentice, Visas, was standing in your side. She failed me.
Sera walked toward Darth Nihilus: She doesnt deserve to be your apprentice, Sith. She redeemed herself. And so are you. I sense good in you.
Darth Nihilus growled: You Jedi Scum. You WILL die. And he used Force Suck on her, but he didnt realiz that the exile was indeed the wound in the Force, and it weakened him during the process. Fine, Jedi. It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force, but by our skills with a lightsaber.
Sera turned on her lightsaber, and the duo fought on.
After an intense duel, Exile destroyed Darth Nihiluss lightsaber. He knelt down. Strike me down, Exile, Darth Nihilus laughed, Prove yourself strong!
The Exile was standing in front of the kneeled Darth Nihilus, she retracted her blade and replied calmly: No, I will never strike down a defenseless opponent.
Thats why you Jedi scum are weak! Darth Nihilus shouted.
No. Youre wrong, Darth Nihilus. Showing mercy to someone and offering help is not an act of weaknessinstead, it means youre strong instead. And I sense you have good inside you. You have not fallen; you are just misdirected by Darth Traya.
Darth Nihilus knelt there and said nothing. But clearly, his mind was struggling between light and dark.
You can be redeemed. Although you have done a lot of evil deeds, but I still believe you can be saved. The Exile said kindly.
Visas, who stood beside the Exile: Look at me. I feel Im at peace.
Darth Nihilus raised his head, and asked the Exile: Can I still be saved?
Yes, you can. The Exile said, with a little happiness.
Thank you, my former apprentice, Visas Marr. Darth Nihilus stood up, and bowed down to the Exile: Thank you, the Exile. Before you go, I want to show you something.
He turned around, back to the Exile, and took down his mask slowly and turned to face the Exile and Visas.
No way! It cant be The Exile widened his eyes to see such a drastic change.
His face skin was healing rapidly, no more scars, no more corruption. Its just peace. And his eyes are no longer glowing yellow. Instead, theyre glowing white.
Yes I can no longer feel the hunger Yes Its what I wanted to be! Darth Nihilus said happily, And Im no longer Darth Nihilus. My name is CSI!
Mandalore reported: Sirs! I hate to interrupt such reunion, but this ship is going down!
Lets hurry! The Exile smiled and waved to CSI, Its nice to have you along with us!
After the War on Telos, CSI returned to Ryloth, and continued his self-imposed exile. During the exile, CSI went to the future, and met Aurora and Arion.
Then the remaining story, you already know that, Aurora and Arion.
Then CSI stood up, "My story may not be good, but it's true."

Head Coach Nick SabanOpening StatementIt was a great team win. When I say team win, I'm talking about all the players, all the fans, all the people in the organization who contribute to the success of the team in every way. The fans were great out there today. The atmosphere was great. I think it affected their offense a little bit. We did a great job on special teams today. We came up with two big plays that both came out to be scores. I'm really proud of the way we played on defense. They have a really good offense, a team that's really hard to defend. They have really good receivers. They made mistakes, they made plays. We made a few, all things that can be correctable. I was really proud of the way we were able to run the ball and have balance offensively. AJ McCarron did a very good job of managing the game today. We did a lot of no huddle stuff where we could see what they were doing so it could take us out of some bad plays. I really felt like that was our key to the game. We ask every guy on our team to step up and be the best football player you can be today. Now is the time to do it. We are in SEC play and this is a big game for us in our division. They have a really good football team and I was really proud of the way our players did what they did out there today. C.J. Mosley was the one guy we lost in the game with an elbow injury. He never returned. He's probably going to be day to day and probably questionable for the next game, but we really don't know right now. We will have to wait and see and play that one by ear. AJ came in but has no issue or problem. He never even missed a series so he's fine. We just wanted to make sure he didn't have an issue. We had some other guys banged up. It was a physical game out there. It was two good football teams out there playing. I'm really proud of the way our guys competed in the game, and played hard for 60 minutes. A lot of players played and had roles in the game. They all did a really good job. I can't thank our fans enough for the job that they did in affecting the entire game, it was great.
On the interception returned for a touchdown being a game-changing play:I think it probably was because, down when we didn't score, when we had the ball inside the one (yard line), and we ended up having to settle for a field goal, I think the momentum of the game changed a little bit right there. On the next series for us to intercept and score on defense, was probably huge. That was a big turning point in the game from a momentum stand point, and you know, we need to make more plays like that, get more turnovers. I don't think we had a lot of sacks today, but we sure did affect the quarterback, and that's probably the key to the day. On the defense shutting down the run game of Arkansas:We knew going into the game that if you look at Arkansas, everybody talks about what a great pass offense team they are, and they are, but when they are able to run the ball effectively against you, you really have issues because now you are off balance all the time. We got a lot of split coverages today. They didn't run the ball, and when they did, other than the one trap play where we got trapped and we got a holding call, I thought we did a pretty good job upfront of being able to manage their runs. I think that is a real key to being successful. That was still the first goal for the defense, to stop the run, and, when they could get balanced on offense, then we really have problems. If you can stay ahead of them in the down and distance and not let them create that balance, then we have a better chance to at least play football with them, which is what they play a lot of the time. Then we can match up and have a chance to cover them. On the pass coverage and the open field tackling:I think that is a real key. They have really good receivers, number 3 (Joe Adams) and number 4 (Jarius Wright) are both great guys, running after the catch, and they throw to them on those crossing patterns, and our guys did a really good job of watching those today and did a good job of tackling them in space. When you play teams that spread you out, that is exactly what you need to do. It's hard to deny them the ball if they are in empty, but if you can get the ball to come out quick and tackle the ball and affect the quarterback, they can only block five. That's probably a real key, and I thought we did a real good job of mixing it up, did a real good job of disguising today. I think at times there was some confusion and probably the thing that we struggled with the most was when they just stayed and unloaded to people, that's where they made a couple of big plays on us and we finally started playing nickel and that helped us a lot. On DeQuan Menzie's Play:DwQuan played really well for us, and last year we knew he was a good cover guy, he was a good player, but because he was coming off an injury, he never really learned and developed in the summer time, so we just strictly played him in the nickel and he was really very comfortable and confident. He's a really good cover guy. He really matched up well on the one third and three, coverage was soft, thought he did a really good job.
#89 Michael Williams, Tight EndOn touchdown grab, sparking entire game and getting offense goingIt gave us a spark, but we've worked on that for about two years now. We just happened to bring it to the game plan this weekend. It worked out perfect. On running game, how offensive line paved way for running backsWe knew we had a challenge this week, with an SEC team. If you're going to win in the SEC, you've got to run the ball. Coach [Saban] has challenged us all week to run the ball. We got here today and that's what we did. #73 William Vlachos, Offensive LineOn play of offensive lineThat's the biggest thing, getting the win to open up conference play is huge. That was a great football team that we played. We started off fast on the first drive, then we kind of hit a lull. They did some things defensively that we didn't execute the way we needed to against them. It's how you finish. I think we finished well and we continued to pound them up front and continue to give great effort and it turned out very well for us. On athleticism of offensive line to be able to block for screen passesIt's an important part of our offense. We get a lot of reps at it in practice, and I think that's why we have success with it. We don't neglect it. Every week we focus on it, on executing the screens properly. We had a long one for a touchdown today, which was huge. It was kind of a momentum changer when it happened. It was a well-blocked play and Trent [Richardson] did the rest.
#4 Mark Barron, Defensive BackOn the secondary play todayIt just all came down to knowing your assignment and playing physical ball, that's all it was. Everybody communicated well and when we all communicate and focus on every play we get great results like that. On being fired up and keyed in for the gameWe were definitely ready to go. They talked a lot coming in and that only motivated us so to come out and do what we did made us feel kid. #30 Dont'a Hightower, LinebackerOn the defensive performanceWell we set out to establish that we were going against the best offense in the SEC and a lot of people were labeling us as the best defense in the SEC, so we wanted to go out and show people what we were capable of with all cylinders turning. On only allowing 17 yards rushing 200 yards passingWell we did a good job on the run and we feel like we didn't get to the quarterback as much which led to the 200 yards passing, but we are going to get in the film room, get ready for Florida and make corrections from this game.
Head Coach Bobby PetrinoOpening statementThey beat us. They beat us in all three phases of the game. In the first half, I thought our defense did a great job of keeping us in the game with the goal-line stand. That gave us a chance to come out in the second half and do something offensively but we just couldn't do it. They made big plays and we didn't. They hurt us with the fake field goal, the punt return for a touchdown and the screen pass for a touchdown. We just couldn't get anything established today. On why Arkansas' ground game couldn't get going:It was a combination of everything. Alabama played really good defense. When we tried to run the ball, we didn't do a very good job of doing that. One of our goals going into the game was to move forward and not have negative plays. That's what hurt us. Anytime you have negative plays, Alabama is going to get you. On Tyler Wilson's play:He got hit a lot. He had a real nice series there in the first quarter. He stood in there and executed well. He made some good plays but we didn't give him a lot of help with protection. We didn't give him help in getting open and to make plays. The one that did hurt us, which you cannot do, is the interception in the first half. We were in a position to go into halftime in good shape. Instead, we gave them seven points. On DeQuan Menzie's interception for Alabama:I don't think it changed the momentum. It just puts you seven points behind. We went into halftime 17-7 coming off that goal-line stand. It was up to us to go out in the second half and score but we couldn't do it. On Marquis Maze's punt return for a touchdown for Alabama:I thought we got pretty good hang time. We definitely had guys down the field. When we watch the video we'll see four or five missed tackles. It was just a great play by him.
#4 Jarius Wright, Wide ReceiverOn what he attributes the offense not executing well to:All 11 guys have to do their job. The offensive line does their job, the quarterback does his job, running backs and receivers do their job. If all 11 guys don't do their job on each play, it's going to be like it was out there tonight. On the difficulties moving the ball:Like I said, we weren't executing like we were supposed to. People weren't doing their job each play like we're supposed to. On offense all 11 guys have to do their jobs" #8 Tyler Wilson, QuarterbackOn Arkansas' inability to establish the run:"You'd like to be able to run the football and we'd like to work on that. But we also have to throw the ball better than we did today. I think there was a lot left on the field." On Arkansas's ability to get over this loss"It depends on the maturity of the football team and the leadership within the team. Preparing this next week to go after Texas A&M and to get a win there will be crucial."

We all need hobbies in our lives to keep us busy during our downtime. Hobbies can come in all shapes and sizes. Some people like to fish and others like to build cars. There are so many different kinds of hobbies to choose from; however, each individual generally has only one hobby that they love to do above all others. A hobby is more than just something to do during your leisure time. It is actually a representation of who you are and what you truly want to do with your life. Since over 90% of working people hate their jobs, they all need to devote some free time to themselves by doing what they truly want to do. For many people, a hobby is like a passion that they couldn't turn into a career. It is a reminder of the life they wanted to live, but could never get to. Hobbies give people something to look forward to when they aren't preoccupied with work or their families. This is the true power behind having a hobby. It is an escape that everybody needs in their lives, whether they admit it or not. The trick is to find what your hobby is and then go with it.
You shouldn't worry about other people judging your hobby either. If you like to do something that is a little unusual then don't shy away from it because you are afraid that others will negatively criticize you. The fear of other people's opinions was probably why you never tried pursuing your dream in the first place. At least let yourself have some version of your dream by turning it into a hobby.
Hobbies are not just for people who want some alone time or peace of mind. They are also great for couples that want to strengthen their relationships or reconnect after a falling out. You have to remember that a hobby can consist of any activity that you want to do during your downtime. It doesn't necessarily mean you are building a model airplane or tweaking with the inside of your automobile. A hobby for married couples could mean going to their favorite restaurant and then seeing a movie every weekend. The reason why there are so many divorces and failed relationships in America is because most couples don't have hobbies that they do together.
Hobbies allow couples to do things together that they both enjoy, which strengthens their interest in each other at the same time. Also, if a couple has children then creating family hobbies will be even more beneficial to them. Hobbies give children a chance to learn new things and spend time with their family. For example, a father and son could have a routine fishing trip on the weekends as their hobby. The father could then teach the son a new fishing skill while having a peaceful outdoor experience at the same time. This gives the child peace of mind away from their problems at school and the father becomes a mentor to his son at the same time.
Overall, hobbies are truly important in our lives. Some people might say hobbies are a waste of time, but that is only because those people don't have hobbies themselves. If they did then they would understand the importance it has on our lives. The best part is that you don't have to be rich to start a hobby. Sure, there are rich people who have their own expensive kinds of hobbies, like traveling or gambling. But, a hobby can be any activity that gives you pleasure in your leisure time. It could be as simple as taking a hike through the woods or exercising at your local gym. Hobbies can be whatever you make them.

Clara Paul and Eric Treuille run Books for Cooks, a bookstore in London's Notting Hill section specializing in all varieties of cookbooks.
Each day the two select a few recipes from the hundreds of cookbooks on their shelves and prepare a luncheon menu for paying guests in a small kitchen that is part of the bookstore.
In an interesting twist, Paul and Treuille have written their own cookbook titled, "200 Skills Every Cook Must Have: the Step-by-Step Methods that Will Turn a Good Cook into a Great Cook."
Paul and Treuille explain their cookbook's premise in the book's introduction. They reveal they wanted to write the "ultimate book that answers all the queries, questions, and uncertainties that every home cook has, however experienced or confident they might be."
The authors begin their book discussing sauces, which are important not only for the flavor they contribute to food, but also because a sauce often forms the basis of a recipe.
Here, from the Sauce Skills section of "200 Skills Every Cook Must Have," are 10 sauces the authors believe every cook should know how to create:
1. Classic Tomato Sauce
2. Basic Vinaigrette
3. Gravy from cooking juices
4. Béchamel Sauce
5. Hollandaise Sauce
6. Béarnaise Sauce
7. Classic White Sauce
8. Crème Anglaise, (a sweet French sauce)
9. Ganache (Chocolate Sauce)
10. Crème Patissiere, (a vanilla cream sauce)
Each of these sauces is accompanied by a list of the tools and ingredients needed to prepare it, as well as an easy-to-follow method and color illustration. While "200 Skills Every Cook Must Have" favors those who are just learning how to cook, there is something here for every cook, no matter his or her level of expertise.

You have invested your life and money into your business, so naturally its success is of the utmost importance to you. What would you do if you knew that there was something that could harm your profits or damage your reputation? Wouldn't you do anything in your power to see that it does not happen?
Well that is just the circumstance that you may find yourself in if your employees use mobile phones during work hours. Without the ability to monitor and control their mobile usage, you will not be able to fully protect your company. That's why so many companies are turning to PhoneSheriff for their employee mobile tracking needs.
There are several mighty good reasons why PhoneSheriff is the best solution for businesses who want to monitor their employees.

UNC Greensboro (1-3) plays Delaware (2-2) at 1 p.m. in the consolation game. Video, audio and live stats of this and every home game are available at www.arizonaathletics.com.
A QUICK LOOK AT THE WILDCATS: Arizona extended its home winning streak to 31 in exciting fashion, defeating UNC Greensboro by 50 points, 98-48, in the first round, and setting a new tournament record for points in a game along the way. The Wildcats shot 53 percent from the field, while UNCG made just 29 percent of its shots from the field. Arizona out-rebounded UNCG 46 to 34 and forced 26 Spartan turnovers. Senior Dee-Dee Wheeler led a group of five Wildcats in double-digit scoring, finishing with a game-high 19 points, including two three-pointers. She also added six assists, five rebounds and four steals. Freshman Ashley Whisonant finished with a career-high 16 points, while junior Natalie Jones chipped in 15 points and seven boards. Junior Shawntinice Polk was just shy of a triple-double, tallying 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks in just 18 minutes. It was her third double-double of the season. Rounding out the group was senior Katrina Lindner, who totaled a career-high 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including 3-of-4 from downtown.
On the season, the Wildcats are led by Wheeler, who averages 14.8 points, 4.8 assists and 3.0 steals per game. Polk adds 14.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, while Jones averages 10.2 points and 5.0 rebounds. As a team, Arizona is shooting 48 percent from the field and out-rebounding opponents 40.3 to 35.5.
SCOUTING THE OPPOSITION: Weber State knocked off Delaware 67-60 in the first game of the 2004 Fiesta Classic. The Hens had the lead most of the first half until Weber State tied it up at 26 at halftime. Early in the second half, the Wildcats went on a 9-2 run and never looked back. Julie Gjertsen led WSU in scoring for the fifth straight game, finishing with 16 points and nine rebounds. The Wildcats also had a season-high 15 points from Sheila Robertson, who came off the bench and made three three-point field goals and had four assists. Laura Porter added 11 points for Weber State, which shot 46 percent from the field for the game.
On the season, the Wildcats are led by back-to-back Big Sky Player of the Week Gjertsen, who averages 18.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Becky O'Neil adds 11.2 points and 5.8 boards per game. As a team, Weber State is shooting 45 percent from the field and out-rebounding opponents 37.0 to 33.4.
SERIES SHORTS: Arizona trails the all-time series with Weber State 3-4. The last time the two teams met, on Dec. 10, 1995, Arizona won 92-46 in Tucson. Arizona is 1-2 at home and 2-2 away vs. Weber State.
TOURNAMENT HISTORY: In the 13-year history of the Fiesta Bowl Classic, Arizona has won the tournament nine times. Three times the Wildcats lost in the championship game, while in the 2001 tournament, Arizona failed to play in the championship game and actually lost the third-place game. Arizona has had 32 all-tournament team players, including nine MVPs. Senior Dee-Dee Wheeler has been named to the all-tournament team in each of her three previous appearances, while junior Shawntinice Polk is the reigning two-time MVP.
BONVICINI TO RUN HALF MARATHON SUNDAY: Head Coach Joan Bonvicini will run in the Bobbi Olson Half-Marathon at 7 a.m. tomorrow, Sunday, Dec. 5. The Bobbi Olson Half-Marathon supports the Bobbi Olson Ovarian Cancer Fund at the University of Arizona. After a short rest, she will come to McKale for the Wildcats' 3:30 p.m. game.
HOME WIN STREAK STANDS AT 31: The Cats have won 31 games in a row at home, the second longest streak in the nation behind Texas (39). The last time the Wildcats were defeated at home was Nov. 22, 2002, when they lost the 2002-03 season opener in overtime to Louisiana State, 78-71. Arizona went on to win its final 13 homes games during the 2002-03 season, and won all 14 games at McKale last year.
WILDCATS RANK NATIONALLY IN ATTENDANCE: Arizona currently ranks 22nd nationally in attendance with an average attendance of 2,106. Texas Tech is the leader with an 11,876 average, while Pac-10 opponents Washington and Oregon rank 18th and 19th, respectively, at 3,023 and 2,927.
DEE-DEE DRAINS PAIR OF THREES TO END STREAK: At the 2:38 mark in the first half of Arizona's win over UNC Greensboro, senior Dee-Dee Wheeler drained her first three-pointer of the season. The second-best three-point shooter on last year's squad and the fourth most prolific downtown shooter in Arizona history, Wheeler went the first 217 minutes and 32 seconds of the season without a trey.
JONES STEPPING IT UP: Over the last two games, junior Natalie Jones is averaging 16.0 points per game on 13-of-22 (59 percent) shooting, nearly six points above her average of 10.2 and 10 percent above her season average of 49.
GET THAT JUNK OUT OF HERE: Junior Shawntinice Polk, Arizona's all-time leader in blocked shots with 178, is currently averaging 3.0 blocks per game. In Saturday's win over UNCG, Polkey blocked a season-high eight shots, one below her career high of nine.
HEAVY BURDEN: Arizona's All-America candidates senior point guard Dee-Dee Wheeler and junior center Shawntinice Polk, the team's top two scorers, are carrying much of the load for the team this season. In the first five games this season, the duo has accounted for 39 percent of the team's points (176 of 453) and 28 percent of the minutes (336 of 1200).
WILDCAT FRESHMEN SEEING LOTS OF PLAYING TIME: Arizona's four freshmen - Jessica Arnold, Ch?© Oh, Chari Smith and Ashley Whisonant - are making their presence felt. In Arizona's six games this season, the foursome have accounted for 36 percent (428 of 1200) of the team's minutes and 29 percent (130 of 453) of the team's points.
POLKEY MOVES INTO TOP 10 IN SCORING: With her sixth point at the 6:35 mark in the first half in Arizona's win over BYU last Saturday, junior center Shawntinice Polk moved into the Top 10 all-time scorers at the UA. The center now has 1,174 career points, 25 away from ninth place.
WHEELER'S SCORING STREAK CONTINUES: Point guard Dee-Dee Wheeler has scored 10 or more points in 39 consecutive games. The last time the Chicago native failed to reach double digits in the scoring column was March 23, 2003, when she had seven points in a loss to Notre Dame. The senior has scored 10 or more points in 86 of her 98 career games.
DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE: During her career, junior Shawntinice Polk has recorded 40 double-doubles (21 as a freshman, 16 as a sophomore and three as a junior). The longest streak came at the start of her career, when she opened the 2002-03 season with eight consecutive double-doubles. During her three seasons, the Wildcats are 30-10 when Polk notches a double-double.
CURRENT CATS ON UA CAREER LISTS: Senior guard Dee-Dee Wheeler is second in field goals made (583), field goals attempted (1,268) and minutes played average (32.0), third in scoring (1,491) and steals (232), fourth in scoring average (15.2), three-point field goals made (136) and three-point field goals attempted (391), tied for sixth in games started (93), seventh in three-point field goal percentage (.348), eighth in assists (361), and ninth in total minutes played (3,139) and free throw percentage (.733).

Kristen (Campbell) Nuesmeyer started working at Utah Valley University in 2007. She started in the Behavioral Science department where she was an academic advisor. In 2014 she moved to Academic Standards where she works as a counselor with students who are struggling academically and are on continued probation or suspension. In addition to these positions, she has served on several campus committees including the Advisor Forum and Planning Council, as co-chair of the Advisor Forum and Planning Council, Advisor Committee, and on search committees for multiple faculty and staff positions. Kristen was asked to serve on these committees because colleagues call her "diplomatic" and this skill would serve her well on PACE. She has also taught classes as an adjunct faculty. Kristen has her Master of Education degree in Student Development Administration from Seattle University. Other experiences in higher education have included Advising for the Milgard School of Business at the University of Washington, Advising at Cascadia Community College, Admission and Advising for the School of Business at Pacific Lutheran University and Assistant Director of Transfer Admission at Westminster College. She particularly loves helping students navigate the higher education system, especially non-traditional students and first generation students. She is passionate about higher education and participating in PACE is another way for her to be engaged in promoting the value of a UVU education and advocating for staff.
Due to UVU's mission of access, inclusion, and engagement with its community I had the unlikely, yet fortunate opportunity to become a first generation college graduate. UVU's commitment to my personal academic success opened a world of societal opportunities previously inaccessible -all which serve as regular reminders reaffirming the extent of my deep commitment to this institution and its mission.
After receiving a B.S. in integrated studies, I gained acceptance into Temple University where I earned an M.A. in organizational communication. Currently I am working on a Doctorate in Education and leadership at Oregon State University.
Presently, I serve as the customer relationship manager (CRM) and student success and retention coordinator for UVU's School of Aviation Sciences. As an administrator, I am driven by student success and it is my sincere honor to serve in a capacity where I am empowered to reciprocate and support the academic and professional aspirations of our incredible students.
As someone who believes in the power of sharing our stories, I feel fortunate to serve on PACE where I can listen to your stories and advocate for you. Each one of PACE's objectives resonates with me. In addition to communicating your interests, I'm passionate about working with PACE to provide meaningful involvement that will unify us as unique individuals who work together UVU.
Currently I work as an instructional designer as part of the College of Aviation and Public Services' Educational Technology team. As such, I have the pleasure of designing and building training for the Utah Fire & Rescue Academy and representing the university in contract work for the FAA. One of my favorite side jobs is to contribute to social media for the School of Aviation Sciences. It's a great opportunity to be reminded why we are here, as we work to connect our local and online students and share stories of student success.
A graduate in English, I look back with amusement on every time I was asked, "What on earth will you do with an English degree?" Over the years, my formal education has enriched my life as an individual and helped me wear many hats: as the wife of a third grade teacher, the mother of 4 great kids, a freelance writer and editor, and a volunteer in our community. My education provided me opportunities to work in the media, as a lobbyist, in the private sector, and now at UVU. Each of those experiences has shaped me. While I don't frequently work with directly students, I actively look for ways to encourage people of any age to fulfill their dreams by pursuing their education in fields about which they are both curious and passionate.
I'm from Charlotte, NC. I'm the youngest of my siblings (there are three of us). I'm really close to my family and I love visiting home when I can. I graduated from BYU with my degree in Exercise Science in 2011. I started my advising career at BYU, when I began to intern for an Advisor. I was still a student and I enjoyed every opportunity that I had to meet with students. I start working here at UVU July of 2011 as an academic advisor and now, I also teach as an adjunct faculty for the Biology Department. I love my job here and I enjoy the interactions with students and faculty. I love being a representative for PACE because I value my colleagues and their opinions. I would like to be a voice for them and provide answers to some of the issues the staff may have. I'm a friendly person, but I'm not afraid to stand up for what is important. I'm a good listener and I can communicate well. I hope that I can provide diverse ideas and perspective to PACE.

President Obama has already indicated that his address will include the following: increase the minimum wage, extend unemployment insurance and pass comprehensive immigration reform. These are not only problematic but for the most part counterproductive of the goals.
Increasing minimum wage
The standard demand/supply model predicts imposing a minimum wage above the prevailing wage reduces employment, particularly among low-wage workers -the very population it is meant to support. The fact is, when the minimum wage increases, firms have several responses available, only one of which is a reduction in employment. The real problem is companies must earn more than they spend. Workers must produce more than they are paid. As government raises the minimum wage, it prices people out of the market.
Extending unemployment benefits
Extending unemployment makes sense and that's been the thinking since at least 2008; Congress has extended jobless benefits from a maximum of 26 weeks to up to 99 weeks. The problem is giving people money for doing nothing provides a disincentive to going out and ardently seeking a job.
There's a theory that provides a new and convincing argument against extending unemployment benefits that doesn't come off as harsh and uncaring. It makes a sound argument that extending jobless benefits actually exacerbates the problem of long-term unemployment.
This theory provides strong evidence that a government program intended to help people in need is actually hurting them. The non-partisan National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) states plainly that the benefit extensions initiated in the wake of the crisis are the primary reason unemployment in the U.S. has remained so high for so long.
"Most of the persistent increase in unemployment during the recent Great Recession can be accounted for by the unprecedented extensions of unemployment benefit eligibility," wrote the authors of the study, Iourii Manovskii and Kurt Mitman, both economists at the University of Pennsylvania, Fatih Karahan with the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Most conservatives believe that legalization absolutely must depend on securing the border first. But the "Gang of Eight" explicitly said that legalization should not be dependent on first securing our border which presents the problem reoccurring.
