your identity you do what you can, if they really want to they can find where you're at. and this law stops that." not only does 'safe at home' keep survivors safe, it helps them feel at home too.

opposition but dr. douglas kinner, professor of economics at hastings college says the one dollar increase won't have a negative affect on jobs.dr. kinnear"when the minimum wage is increased, it often shocks employers into finding more efficient ways to use workers, they schedule them more efficiently, they train them to be more productive and so in some cases -- raising the minimum wage actually increases employment of low skill workers."cindy johnson, president of the grand island chamber of commerce says much of the business community disagrees.cindy johnson/preside nt, grand island, ne chamber of commerce"the concerns of the business community and the concerns therefore of the chamber of commerce across the state is the impact of the performance of those businesses, and our fear that raising the minimum income could impact the number of jobs created particularly art time jobs, seasonal jobs, entry level jobs."dr. kinnear argues however, many of those workers were already making more than minimum wage.dr. kinnear"the traditional

level jobs, in fast food resturants, nursing aids, they're already paying an average about nine dollars an hour oeven more so how would raising the minimum wage to nine dollars lead any employers to let anyone go." one thing they can agree on is the hope that this increase will help stimulate funds both to and from minimum wage workers.cindy johnson"that's what you would hope would happen - is that the rising tide, the increased income would then lift those people out of poverty or near poverty to where they have a better quality of life.. what it could also do is put more money in the economy." 3 3 when someone is severely overwieght, the next step might be surgery. up next in your healthwatch...we'll take a look at the surgical options for ight loss. 3 dense fog is settling across the area this morning, but it's starting to break up just a bit. either way, be careful

"mercy and our group midlands clinic office... offer s a gastric by- pass...we offer a gastric sleeve resection... and we offer the adjustable gastric band." each surgery has its benefits over the other and you and your doctor can decide which is best for you. the

to two nights in the hospital and up to 3 weeks of recovery at home. doctors also reccomend time with a dietician before the surgery to create good eating habits. but the key thing is..... "when the person is ready to change their life, when they are ready to eat differently, when they are ready to give up foods, certain foods, when they are ready to start exercising... then we can have a successful operation and people are successful with the surgery." but remember these surgies are not permenant.... when patients fall back into old habits they will regain the weight. kayla novak, siouxland news. 3 3 3 2015 was a big year in tech, with smartwatches and self driving carswe'll take a look
