Strengthening the buying power of low-wage workers is especially critical in the cuiTent economic elimate, a recent NELP study suggests, because the majority of new jobs created in the wake of the rece~sion arc in low- and mid-wage industries. The Jan. I increases come on the heels of a cornprehensive new study published' last month in the Review of Economics and Statistics, which adds to more than I 5 years of economic research finding that modest minimum wage increases boost incomes of low-paid workers without reducing employment. In the latest study. economists at the Universities of Massachusetts, North Carolina, and California compared employment levels between 1990 and 2006 in every pair of neighboring U.S. counties that straddle the border ofstates with differing minimum wage le\els. The unprecedented study analyzes employment and earnings data from more than 500 counties and finds that minimum wage increases did not cost jobs. David Autor, professor of economics at the Massachusetts lnstitute of Technology and editor of the Journal of Economic Perspectives. said of the study. ' 'The paper presents a fairly irrefutable case that state minimum wage laws do raise earnings in low-wage jobs but do not reduce employment to any meaningful degree." Another recent study, to be published in April 2011 in the joumallndustrial Relations. finds t~at even during times of high unemployment. mimmum wage increases have not led to job loss. Examining the effect of minimum wage increases during the three recessions of the past two decades. including the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009. economists from the University of California and University of Ma!~sachusetts again find that minimum wage increases boost workers' income:- without reducing employment. Studie-. have al~o. found that employers ben~fit from a strong nummum wage because boostmg the e arnings o f l o~ - paid workers reduces turnover and a b enteeism while increasing morale and producth i ty. . Industry-backed groups in some states have objected to the upcommg minimum wage increases. I~ Washmgton state. business groups have filed sutt against the state m an attempt to block the scheduled 12-ccnt increase to $8.67 an hour. The National Employment Law Project and others have j oined the Wa-.hington State Department of Labor and Industries in defending the increase. and the minimum wage statute will likely be implemented in accordance ~ ith the state statute approved by Washington voters in I 99S.

The overall figure also includes the remainder of money from a settlement of a Ia~ suit by the district as a result of workmanship on construction of the elementary school se\'eral years ago.

Not included in the appropriations figure is some federal stimulus dollars. about $752.000. which is designated by the federal government for an education jobs program. Rhonemus said the money will. be used to bridge an !lnticipated shortage of money m the 20112012 school year. .

The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Bv PAUL WISEMAN Bv COLLEEN LONG ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOC1ATEO PRESS • NEW YORK - It's the biggest pubHc party in the countrv. Nearly a million reveler~ will cram into the J streets of Times Square to watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve. It's also remarkably crime-free, safe and orderly. In the past decade. there have been few arrests and virtually no maior problems funneling people in and out of ~ the confetti-filled streets to ring in the New Year. That's due mostly to what the party~oers don't notice: Throngs of police and counterterronsm officers blanketing the area, working from a security plan specifically tailored for the event. • Manhole covers are sealed. Counter-snipers are stationed on secret rooftops. Officers carry beeper-sized radiation detectors. Plainclothes officers are stationed in the pens with the crowds. along with a uniformed presence and undercover officers. Bomb-sniffing dogs are on site. Purses arc searched. Checkpoints are set up and perimeters are created using concrete blocks. Passing vehicles are checked for safety. Haz-mat teams are on standby. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Thursday that there are no ''specific threats against the city" on New Year's Eve. The 20-inch snowstorm that left the streets far from Times Square unplowed will be a memory to the crowd. Crews have removed the large drifts and warm temperatures are helping to melt what's left. NYPD brass tweak their security plan every year, using lessons learned from previous scares like the botched Times Square car bombing in May and the attempted bombing of a Christmas tree lighting in Portland, Ore.. near Thanksgiving. NYPD counterterrorism chkf James Waters mined information on the suicide bombing this month in Stockholm. Sweden. ''Intelligence inform~ a lot of what we do,'' Waters said. "Understanding the threat, always the basics, understanding what the threat is against New York. what's the threat against the country. and everything that comes behind that." People have gathered for a century in Times Square to ring in the New Year, but it hasn't always been a family-friendly affair. In the early 1990s, before the redevelopment of the bowtie collection of streets at ) Broadway and Seventh Avenue. the area was overrun with crime and home to sex shops and peep shows. I Revelers would gather with plenty of liquor as shop1 keep~rs board~d up their windows with plywood for the rught. hopmg no one would smash through.

But D~sney: upscal~ hotels, theme stores and restaurants arnved m the tmd-1990 and chang~d the feel_of the area and drew more fanuhes and tounsts, and wtth it, a softer crowd. . Police began to ramp up their security effort wJth worries over millennium threat<;. Officers used metal pens to control where the crowd stood- keeping a path clear for emergency trucks. And they banned alcohol and backpacks. Uniformed police officers flooded the area. Plainclothes officers roamed the crowds. After Sept. 11. 200 l. ''we added a counterterrorism overlay" to New Year's security. said Paul Browne. the NYPD's deputy commissioner for public information. "We have kept changing it based on the needs ever since." . Since the terror attack, there have been at least s1x foiled plots against the c1~ - includin~ the plot by Faisal Shahzad to bomb Ttmes Square w1th a used car stuffed with a propane-and-gasoline bomb on May I. The department has answered with ever~developing tools. like the network of private and police cameras called the Lower and Midtown Manhattan Security initiatives. The department recently added 500 cameras to the subway stops at Times Square. Grand Central Tenninal and Penn Station. . The cameras are managed.at a command center m lower Manhattan, where a single high-band':"'idth fib~r optic network connects the cameras to pohce. ~~ _w1ll be used New Year's Eve to help track any suspiCious activity. . The department meets months m advance to set rules and share plans with the area restaurants and hotels that host fancy parties, along with the Tim~s Square AlliilJlce. They plot ou~ where trucks wdl be stationed. and the best cx1t routes m case of an emergency. Metal pens are set up to hold crowds around 3 p.m. on Dec. 31 and go back as far as Central Park depending on the crowds. Backpacks are banned. Once you leave your place. you can't return to the same spot. Garages in the area are swept for explosives. Hotel staff are on alert for anything unusual. Guests at the 2.000-room Marriott Marquis in the heart of Times Square aren't allowed to leave the hotel or enter it after a certain time. "If they think they are going to just walk outside at 11:30 to see the ball drop, they're wrong," said hotel marketing director Kathy Duffy. According to Chief Waters. al-Qaida an~ other terrorist groups weren't known for plaru~mg ~ttacks around major holidays - that was until Christ.mas Day last year and a failed attack aU .S.-bound .airliner. "We learn from each incident," Waters sa1d. "We will learn from the Sweden incident. we will learn from Oregon. We have learned fr~m .Shahzad, and w~ have learned from all these other mc1dents. whether 1t be (failed subway bomber Najibullah) Zazi or some. thing that happened oversees." Police also station officers on boats tn New York Harbor and send additional uniformed officers to every major transportation hub in the city. ~ey monitor fireworks displays at the Statue of Liberty and Central and Prospect Parks.

They fell to 388,000 in the week ending Dec. 25, bringing the four-week average to 414,000. Until mid-October, the four-week h d b t k b 450 000 t of th average a een s uc a ove ' mos e year E~onomists say the number of people applying for unemployment benefits predicts where the job market will go over the next few months- so much so that they use this data to help forecast economic growth. "We're starting to see a pickup in job growth," says Conference Board economist Kenneth Goldstein. "We may even get to a point, conceivably by spring, where the consumer is going to say that it no longer feels like we're still in a recession." He expects the economy to generate 100,000 to 150.000 jobs a montti by spring. up from an average 86,500 a month in 2010. That's an improvement, but still not enough to cause big drop in the unemployment rate. To Paul K.asriel, chief economist at Northern Trust, fewer people applying for unemployment benefits suggests the unem- · ployment rate will slip from 9.8 percent in November to 9.7 percent early next year; that would mean about 150,000 fewer unemployed. The Conference Board's Goldstein says the unemployment rate might actually rise for a few months asA an increase in job openings lures even more job seek-W ers back into the labor market. He doesn't expect the ~ unemployment rate to start dropping until mid-2011 and says it will finish the year above 9 percent. The good news is that layoffs have fallen back to I pre-recession levels. In October, 1.7 million people were laid off or fired- the lowest figure since August 2006. more than a year before the Great Recession started. Layoffs and dismissals peaked at 2.6 million in January 2009. "We've stopped the losses, and things are kind of turning around,'' says Mark Christiansen, depu!y director of the Workforce Development Center m Riverside. Calif., which bas one of the nation's highest unemployment rates. Jn past downturns. the economy didn't start generating jobs until applications for unemployment benefits con:-istently fell below 400,000 a week. But some economists say the old rule of thumb is outdated. Payrolls were already growing this year when applications were still well above 450.000 a week. One rea-;on: The labor force has grown by 25 million people over.~e. pa.st two dec~des. "You.would expect the level of mttlal JObless chums to be higher the larger the labor f~rce,'' Northern Turst's ~asriel says. Another: s.mce t~e. Great RecessiOn, the une~­ 1 ployed. knowmg tbeu JOb search may be long and dtfficult. have been more likely to apply for benefits they used to be. Previously, th~re were 1.25 workers for eveT¥ person applymg for benefits. Now, drums ~d layoffs are about ~q_ual. notes Zach Pandl, econom1st at Nomura ~ecuntles. That means each clatm re~resent~ fewer lrud-off ~orkers. Even tf they ve stopped cuttmg, employer~ have been slow to hire. In October. there were still 4.4 unemployed for every job opening. "It's not really been the layoff rate that's been. the probl~m in most. of 2010,'' says Gary Burtless. seruor fellow m econorru~s studies at the Brookings Institution. "It's been the failure of employers to create vacancies." . But vacancies are expected to open up in 2011. A survey released this month by the Business Roundtable found that 45 percent of big company CEOs planned to add jobs over the next six months, up from 31 percent. in the third quarter; just 18 percent planned to cut JObs. A survey by the staffin~ ~ Manpower found that comparues are more opturustlc about ~ng !han they've been in. two years. , . "We re gomg to start to see JObs added.

But since I am not, a sociologist, I'll refrain from overanalyzmg things and try to not offer explanations for such differences and instead reflect for a moment on the wonder of clo:;ing out one year and entering another. Suffice it to say that there is a le\el of respect due to the ending of one year and the beginn111g of another. Not because there is anything magical or mystical associated with the calendar we use, but stmply because the endtng of one thing and the beginning of another is always an opportunity to take stock on our lives, our direc tion, our expectation and our relati .hip with God.

Once man decides he can displace God's commands with his ideas, there ts no stopping the downward lide away from God's Word . Today, we begin focusing on well-known men of past years who continued this development of man-made doctrine. Martin Luther [1483-1546 AD]. in hope of reforming the Catholic church's reliance on works, hit upon the idea of justification by faith, the doctrine that sal vat ion is granted as a gift through through faith: and that not of God's grace. His mnjor doctrine yourselves: it is the gift of God: was justification "by grace alone not of '" orks. lest any man through faith alone because of should boast. For we are his Christ alone ."

Proponents of "grace only'' point Luther's doctrine of justification to this scripture. Notice God's by grace alone remains a cardi- grace is shown toward us nal principle of the Lutheran through Christ Je~us. "Grnce" and "faith.' are tied c hurch. What does the New Testament say about the place of together. "Grace" is called, by God, "the gtft of God.''

Let us look also at clear, firm instructions to e' ery age as to how man may please Luke 17 :1 0. In Jesu~' Illustration Him .

Note • the servants have commands which must be obeyed; and, it is grace that carries one on to . being acceptable to God. Again, . rather than "grace alone,·· God . teaches the "works'' He commands are jointly necessary with His "grace.'' Fi nail y, we look at "fa ith." Man often teaches "Just believe," or "faith only saves.'' Does God teach that?

God endowed humnnkind with the ability to procreate. so how can tt be we're not all "Pro-life'"!!?

What is the k . d . ey 1o re-;tonng or er to our lives, our home:-. and our communities as we ~· into this New Year'l e answer is the restoration of Jaw and order The first thing that God gave Adam was law. In the beginning. God told Adam what he could do, but He quickly told him what he could not do. God told Adam that tht! day that he broke the law. he would dte (Gen 2: 17). Adam then activated d eat h w hen h e b rok·e God's Jaw. D ..ath \Vas ... pre ent but did not ha\e the power to ktll. However. when Adam sinned, he gave life to death, and him. death eventually killed When law is present, a lawbreaker does not need anyone else to apply penalty. God's laws ha\ e the penalty built into them. The positi\e stde of it is that the benefits are also built into the law. If you keep the law, )OU prosper. If yOti violate the Jaw, you sell-destruct. One of the things I h:we learned over the years in my research of our Hebrnt'c roots 1·s that whene\er God's people follo\\ed the 10 Commandments, thetr lives experienced dh1 ne order. Incidentally. the number 10 in bibhcal numerology represents ''divine order." Furthermore. the number 12 in biblical numerology represents "d1vme 'tO\ ernment... \\ 1th the e t\\O numbers )O find the number 11 tuck right 111 the middle of 1t Number 11 represents "subversion and disorder." If this is consistent with our Gregorian calendar, then 2011 will be a year of rebellion and disorder in our country. I don't think we need to be reminded that we're already there. Ho" ever, the number 11 IS also a time that throughout the Bible God has singled out people like Joseph and Thomas to become men of valor. vision. favor and wisdom in order to establish God's di'Yine law. We have become a Alex Colon malfunctioning planet · Without the God's law and otdcr in man's lives.

It is a common tradition among many people around the globe to make resolutions for the New Year.

Redding ends l~sing ways with playoff-bound Ravens OWINGS MLLLS. Md. (AP) - Cory Redding was once a part of the worst team in NFL history. which goes a long way toward explaining why he is grateful to be a member of the playoff-bound Baltimore Ravens. During his first seven easons. Redding never played on a team that fmJshed with a winning record. He hit rock bottom as the suuting defensive • end for the 2008 Detroit Lions, the first NH.. club to complete a 16-game schedule without a victol) . ''Alii c.1n tell you is that 0-16 team taught me a lot about my elf. nbout things I can work on to get better. It taught me, as a man and as a player. how to handle adversity," Redding said Wedne day. "A u football layer, that' was as low as could ever be. l questioned myself, my skills. f ' my talent, my leadership." After being drafted in the third round of the 2003 draft by Detroit. Redding suffered through six losing years with the Lions. He was traded in March 2009 to Seattle, and sure enough, the Seahawks finished 5-11. Redding became a free agent and signed with the Raven last March. And now. with much delight, the 30-year-old is preparing for his first postseason experience. hit's huge, to look at wifey and tell her we're not going anywhere in January,'' he said. "We're stay in~ put." Balttmore ( 11-4) faces Cincinnati in the regular season finale Sunday before beginning its third consecutive playoff run. While some of the Ravens consider the postseason to be an annual rite of winter, ----- Redding is treating the pending trip with all the anticipation of a wide-eyed rookie. "We normally pack up and go back home. but not this year,'' said the Texas native. "My wife is excited becau e she knows all the hard work rmd injuries and woes I've gone through to make it this point." Redding ha done his part to make it happen. contributing 34 tackles. three sncks and his first career interception despite missing a game with a concussion.

''If you watch the last three or four games. he's playing at that level again. He's pla)ing the best he's played here all year.'' Redding figured it was only a matter of time. "The beginning of the season I was still learning,'' he said. "As the year went on I found myself getting stronger and better .in the scheme, making more pia):; nnd just ha\ ing a lot of fun.''

Marvin Lewis declined an extension last season, when the Bengals won theAFC North and Lewis won Coach of the Year. He wanted to see if the organization made some changes before agreeing to stay. A year later, his contract is running out and it's looking unlikely that he'll be back, though g1\en the way owner Mike BrO\\ n operates, n g can be ruled out. ~ focus 1s really the Balumore Ravens, and we'll cross that bridge ''hen it comes to that ume," Lewis said Wednesday. "I don't thmk much about it." A decision is likely right after the Bengab (411) wrap up one of the worst sea ons in franchise history. The coach meets with Brown the dtty after the final game to talk about the future. The last coaching change cante fast. Dick LeBeau finished the final year on his contract with a 2-14 record in 2002. Brown informed him during a brief meeting the following morning that he '' ouldn 't be com· ing back. Then. Brown did something totally out of character, going outside the organization to hire Lewis. In other NFL cities, Lewis would have been fired by now. The Bengals had only two winning records and lost their two playoff appearance during his eight seasons. He has a 60-661 record heading into the game against Baltimore (11-4). His final year under contract is ending in cir· cumstances much like those that led to his hiring. Lewb arrived when fan interest was at a low. The Bengals couldn't come close to filling Paul Brown Stadium. prompting Brown to bring in a nC\\ face for the franchise. Lewis got more clout than his predece:.)ors and turned the Bengab into~ nn n\ ernge NA... team quite an accomplishment. They'd gone 15 years between winning records when he led them to the division IItle m 2005. They won it again last year. and splurged on the paymll to II)' to win their tirst back-to-buck division titles in franchise history. Instead, Lewis has presided O\ er perhnp the franchi e's b1gge t disappointment. The Bengals tied the club record by losing 10 in a row, and e receiver Terrell Owens blamed the coaching staff for the offense's troubles. Cincinnati failed to sell out the last four home games. The first indication that Lewis might leave came during the scouting combine in the offseason, when he said he'd declined a contract extension because he wanted to see more change in how the front office operates. ''There were things \\hen I started in this job in 2003 that were important and we can't change. those," Lewis said in February. "They have to stay on track and 1 have to make sure we're continuing to progress that way. Those are the things that are more important to me as anything. "I'm talking about structure, decisions and how we do things and how I have the ability to do things that give us an opportunity to win football games." The Bengals don't have a general manager. Brown functions as one, making personnel decisions. He and Lewis have disagreed on moves, most notably the decision to bring back receiver Chri:; Henry after letting him go for repeatedly getting into trouble. Questions also have arisen over the team's. scouting and medical staff,. Lewis has repeatedly lobbied for a covered practice field. The Bengals had to get on buses and make a 45minute trip to an indoor soccer facility to prepare for a playoff loss to the Jets last year. The team can cover one of the practice fields adjacent to Paul Brown Stadium, but would ha\e to pay the entire cost. So far, Brown has declined to pay for a covered field, leaving the Bengals as the only northern NA.. team without one. Even the University of Cincinnati ha:. a practice bubble. Plavers said Lewis hasn't given any indication of his fate, leaving them to wonder what comes next. • .. We definitely have . ome young talent,'' left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "I don't think talent is the issue on this team at all. I just think we've got to get to where we play and execute at n high level. That's what \\e haven't been able to do this vear is execute it. Somettmes ) ou can't put a finger on wh) that is.'' l �t ' Friday, Decem ber 31, 2010 Coach from Page Bl season - their ninth with double-digit losses in 12 years. Cleveland has gone just 2-5 since a · dseason upset of New g land. and unless the owns ca n :->tun Pittsburgh on Sunday, Mangini will close his second year with a four.. game losing streak. That may be enough for Holmgren to make a coaching change, assuming he hasn't already made up hts mind to replace Mangini, who will carry a 10-21 overall record - 2-9 vs. the AFC Nonh - into Sunday's regular-season finale. When Holmgren last met with reporters on Nov. 2, he said he would wait until after the season before making a decision on Mangini. He also left open the possibility of a return to coaching. 'Td be less than honif I didn't say 1 get d up watching the ,'' he said. "I mean I did that (coach) for too long not to react sometimes the wny I do, but I also recognize what I was hired to do and that 's what I'm trying to do." Browns owner Randy Lerner brought in Holmgren to fix his franchi se. which has undergone nearly constant change in the past decade. If Mangini gets fired. 62-yenr-old the Holmgren, who won a Super Bowl with Green Bay and an NFC championsh ip with Seattle, "'ill quickly jump to the top of a list of possible replacements. fhere could be several other big-name candtdates a le. including Jon wvu mPageBI been near the top of the Bowl Subdivision in total yards the past three seasons, including two at Houston. When he was introduced at a news conference in Morgantown last week, Holgorsen promised to ''make as little chan~es as we possible can. · But it's clear something has to be done to an offense that scored 17 points or less five times this season and was riddletl with turnover troubles. That was especially evident on Tuesday in o. Fla., where Carolina State West Virginia 23-7. The Mountaineers finished 9-4 for the third straight season. Since Rich Rodriguez left for Michigan, the Mountaineers offense has sputtered. In Stewart's lirst three seasons West Virginia has averaged at least 79 fewer yards per game than tlle 2007 team which went 11-2 nnd beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Holgorsen's new boss. West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck, cautioned Thursday that Mountaineer fans shouldn't expect miracles right away. "There will be some growing pains," Luck said. "There 's no question about it. It may not ok pretty initially, but at's pan of installing it. • " I think eventually when our players get tt and we feel comfortable with it - and that may be another year or two we 'II begin to sec the explosiveness of the offense.'' While Rodriguez used a predominantly runbased system, Holgorsen relied on balance at ' Oklahoma State. The Gruden, John Fox, Bill Cowher and others. But Holmgren simply packing up his belongings and moving down the hall to a new office would cause the least uproar for organization craving calm. Unlike previous years, there doesn't seem to be nearly as much concern nbout the possibility and potential likelihood - of change. Maybe that's because Holmgren is overseeing it. "He brings credibility to the whole organization," said Dawson. who has seen his share of turnover in 11-plus seasons with Cleveland. "1 think if you ask anyone, they would say the same thing. Guys are confident that he knows what he wants to do, and we'll all have to wait and see what happens. But no one seems to be panicking or anything like that.'' Many Browns fans can't bear the thought of another coaching change. but Wallace believes they should be comforted by Holmgren's presence. ''He's a person who IS going to build a foundation," said Wallace, who started four games this season. "I don't think over the last couple of years there'::. been a foundation. There has been a lot of turnover. And I think .once you build that foundation and that type of mentality, it's going to build for the future." Has he seen any part of the foundation fanned? "I saw a couple of bricks slide in place,'' he said, "but there's still a lot of building that needs to be done." Holmgren has spent the year evaiuattng Cleveland's roster. which has been upgradCowboys threw the ball 54 percent of the time this season. West Virginia will be Jo ing much of what little firepower it has, including running back Noel Devine, the school's third-leading career rusher, and all-time leading receiver Jock Sanders. But Holgorsen noted earlier that Oklahoma State returned just four starters on offense when he t<X1k over as offensive coordinator this season. The Cowboys averaged 520 yards per game while running back Kendall Hunter and wide receiver Justin Blackmon were named first-team all-American<;. Hol$orsen first must solidity his new offensive staff. Besides Mullen, offensive line coach Dave Johnson has been told he's not being retained next season. West Virginia's defensive staff was left intact. "I will talk to them and evaluate what we have and what we need." Holgorsen said. "On my end, there are some guys 1' m pretty adamant on talking to to see if they're a fit for here." Holgorsen said he plans to concentrate on recruiting in January and will focus on what players are returning after that. "There'::. plenty of time in February to get to know these kids and figure out where we need to line them up," Holgorsen said. Holgorsen, an admitted night owl, and early riser Stewart will have to figure out a way to mesh in their one season together before Stewart takes a still - undetermined administrative position. '' If I thought it was going to be a problem. 1 wouldn't be here." Holgorscn said. "I have a lot of respect for coach Stewart and for what he's done.
