Office Depot Makes Cuts
So yea, we all know the economy is bad and that's what most of us will relate this too without looking at the bigger picture. It's OFFICE Depot. Regular consumers aren't the bulk of their customers, offices are. They don't just sell paper, pens, and pencils and school supplies and simple office supplies. They basically sell EVERYTHING you could have in an office down to the cubicle itself. So Offices aren't shopping. They aren't shopping because they aren't opening. Office depot themselves are only opening half their NORMAL rate of NEW stores. Why is this such a big deal. If new businesses aren't being generated and people are already losing jobs at a record pace, how long will it be until it affects you or someone close to you.
I'm going to keep harping on this because at the end of the day; There are 2,800 4 year schools in the U.S. alone. Too keep it simple for a numbers sake and just to make a point. Let's say each semester only 200 graduate from every school. THAT'S OVER HALF A MILLION NEW QUALIFIED, CHEAP, and YOUNG, career seekers every six months! This is just for the 4 year schools people, in the U.S. Do I need to continue to stress that things are obviously going to get worst before they get better no matter what Obama does. I'm going to keep asking, because all of us really need an legitimate answer. WHAT'S YOUR BACKUP PLAN? How long could you go without a traditional job paycheck? What would you do if you couldn't find work for a month to a year or ever longer? THIS IS SERIOUS. UNDERSTAND. THEIR ARE ALTERNATIVES.

Random Thought from Dentist Visit
Think about it, Christmas has turned into this BIG EVENT WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY off the target. This is suppose to be the celebration of our savior's birthday. To be honest, we should celebrate Christmas the way we celebrate new years, but without all the excessive drinking. But it should be one huge party counting down to his birthday and just being a ridiculous celebration of His Birthday. Instead we have people killing a walmart employee by busting down a door and trampling them to take advantage of black Friday sales. You have the ridiculous scuffles between parents fighting over this holidays most popular gift that the child might not even want or wont even play with longer than the day it opens it. Children are working hard in school simply to get a nice gift and even worst there are the ones who aren't good and still get a gift just because it's Christmas. You also have depressed adults due to the fact that they lost their steady, safe, reliable income and now their Christmas isn't going to be the same. Although they still might be healthy physically, and have their family, they don't have the money to get "gifts" so they feel like their Christmas is going to be upsetting.
Here's what I think of Christmas and will do my best to teach my kids (Lord willing) so that they understand. It's the celebration of the birth of our savior. So it's really just a big birthday party. The reason we give or receive gifts is because we are all children of god. He is in all of us so it's like it's all our birthday, which is why everyone is deserving of a gift on Christmas. The thing is, a gift isn't necessarily a toy, tv, video game, clothing, jewelry, car or anything else money can buy. A gift is a blessing or action that provides a loving feeling that money can't buy. That's what everyone deserves on Christmas. They deserve a loving feeling that money can't buy, which is why family getting together is such a big thing. Grandmothers receiving gifts via mail from the grandkids will never be better than those same kids simply being there with her empty handed. That feeling of love is the annually seeked gift of Christmas and the best thing about it is that it doesn't cost a thing (well maybe some gas or airfare). But nonetheless, even a phone call can provide that feeling because in a lot of cases when that one special phone call don't come, it can disappoint a Christmas no matter how many material gifts you get.

What's The Beef?
Ben Posts 24 as KU Routs Penn State-Berks
Kutztown (6-0) 90
Penn State-Berks (1-8) 49
Dave Ben (sr. Coatesville/Coatesville) led the Kutztown University men’s basketball team with a game-high 24 points in a 90-49 win over Penn State-Berks Saturday at the Beaver Community Center.
Ben is now four points behind George Krell (1967-70), who is third on the all-time scoring list at KU.
Stephen Dennis (jr. West Chester/Henderson) and Andre Woodlin (sr. Philadelphia/Central) also finished in double digits with 15 and 11 points, respectively.
Dennis and Ryan Washington (so. Philadelphia/Wissahickon) led the team in rebounding with seven each.
KU (6-0) forced Penn State-Berks (1-8) to turn the ball over 30 times and recorded 21 steals — Ben had a career-high nine.
The Golden Bears forced eight of those turnovers in the final 3:30 of the first half, surprising Penn State-Berks by moving into the full-court press. Off guard, the Nittany Lions were flustered and saw a 10-point lead grow into a 19-point lead at half, 44-25.
An alley-oop from Ben to Dennis set the tone right away in the second half and KU continued to roll.
Julius Gray (so. Lincoln/Oxford) made three 3-pointers and the Golden Bears shot 16-of-20 from the free-throw line.
KU will return home for a 7 p.m. tipoff against District of Columbia on Dec. 17.

A Tale of Two Tales
So I'm at work today with the depressing, complaining one and she ask me how am I doing today. I simply replied, "I'm pretty ok outside of me being somewhat sick." She responds, "physically or mentally." I'm thinking, why would I ever be mentally sick with God on my side. So I respond with, "my throat is still soar and the other day I had a headache all day, my mental will always be ok." She replies, "well I'm mentally sick, no matter what I do, no matter how much I pray, things just keep getting worst, and I can't figure out what God is trying to teach me and its driving me crazy." Now to most people, you would feel for her, or want to console her or help her, but this is her just about everyday. On top of that, she finishes up with these statements; "Everyday I wake up it's just more bad things, it's to the point where sometimes I just don't want to get out of bed." I WAS FURIOUS ON THE INSIDE. Needless to say, be careful what you ask for, and I'm going to leave that there. But if that wasn't enough, she sums up the conversation with this, "Christmas use to be my holiday......" She basically goes on about how she use to have so much money and could get people all these gifts and that would be what made Christmas special to her, to be able to do all that for people and now that she can't she's depressed. I left the store after this point to keep myself from hurting her feelings.
First and foremost; CHRISTMAS ISN'T ABOUT SANTA CLAUSE AND GIFT GIVING!!! Like I said, this is a woman who is old enough to be my mother who claims to believe in God and so on and so on, but yet, your sitting here truly upset that you can't provide multiple gifts for your family like you use to. My gosh I was annoyed. I learned Christmas wasn't about gifts how many years ago and to just be with family and to celebrate the birth of our saviour is what it all was about. Like I said, I had to leave the store. So I left the store and went over to my other job to vent to the loving, never too upset older lady. She obviously agreed with me and the icing on the cake was when she said, "Paul does she have kids," which I replied, "yes," and she replied with, "well tell her that gifts aren't everything because I wouldn't give one gift it meant I could have my son with me this Christmas." AND SHE SAID IT WITH SO MUCH WARMTH, NOT HURT, NOR DEPRESSION. We debate on who should try and set her straight but I promote that I've been trying to help her over and over again, and all she does is agree and still act the same way. So we agree that we'll just pray because at the end of the day, that's all you can do sometimes for people. They have to do it themselves and prayer changes things.
This was a tale I had to share to hope and pray that nobody is depressed this holiday season for the wrong reasons. I have a house to call home, clothing on my back, food to eat and a job to go to. I have family and friends who truly love and appreciate me. If I don't give out one gift, only my one younger cuz, will be upset (history to that, haha). At the end of the day, if all I could do was just show my face between Christmas eve and the end of Christmas day, that would more than be enough. On the other hand, I haven't requested or expected a Christmas gift nor birthday gift since I was about 17 to the point that I would be upset if I didn't receive it. I am truly thankful that my needs are taking care of and that I have a fortune in Love in my account. Happy Holidays everybody...God Bless.

DENNIS BECOMES 19th GOLDEN BEAR TO REACH 1,000 POINTS
Kutztown (5-0) 97
Chestnut Hill (0-5) 77
Stephen Dennis (jr. West Chester/Henderson) scored his 1,000th point Wednesday night and for a long stretch in the second half, it looked like he might come up short.
The Kutztown University men’s basketball team, however, never looked like it would come up short, routing Chestnut Hill 97-77 at Keystone Hall in a non-conference game.
Dennis, who scored 18 points in the first half, missed a few free throws and two jumpers midway through the second half, but he finally pushed his career total to 1,001 with a layup underneath with 3:24 left.
“It felt great,” Dennis said. “I came out strong with 18 in the first half, and then I was slow in the second half and I wasn’t sure I was going to get it, but I wound up pulling through.”
Dennis finished with 28 points, leading five Golden Bears in double digits.
Andre Woodlin (sr. Philadelphia/Central) finished with 19 points, Dave Ben (sr. Coatesville/Coatesville) had 15 and Ryan Washington (so. Philadelphia/Wissahickon) and Julius Gray (so. Lincoln/Oxford) each had 12. Ben also led KU with nine assists and eight rebounds.
KU (5-0) used a 13-2 run midway through the first half to build a 27-15 lead. Chestnut Hill (0-5) cut the lead to nine points twice, but KU pulled away each time and eventually went into halftime with a 20-point lead, 48-28.
The Golden Bears shot 65.2 percent (30-of-46) from the floor, including an 8-for-12 clip from 3-point range. Gray led KU with three 3-pointers and Dennis had two.
Chestnut Hill slowed down the second half with 20 fouls — totaling 34 in the game — sending KU to the line a season-high 42 times.
Dennis was 6-of-9 from the free-throw line, missing a few early in the second half. Sitting at 999 points for his career, he knew he had to get the job done at home before the Golden Bears hit the road for their next game.
“I was working hard to get it here at home,” he said. “Since last week when I looked at the schedule, I said to coach, ‘I need to get it on this night.’ So Ryan Washington told me to get to the basket and I did.”
After the basket, KU head coach Bernie Driscoll called timeout and Dennis made a curtain call to the crowd of 650 at Keystone Hall.
Dennis is the 19th player in KU history to score 1,000 points. He is now tied for 17th on the list and joins Ben, who scored his 1,000th point last season, also in a win over Chestnut Hill.
That wasn't it for milestones against Chestnut Hill last season. Driscoll picked up his 100th career win in that same victory.
KU will travel to Penn State-Berks for a 3 p.m. tipoff Saturday.

Poll Questions!!!
Maybe It's Just Me - "Stand Out"
Another thing is the slang that comes and goes. Now granted we all fall victim of adapting to it most times because its simple sometimes its to keep stuff somewhat of a secret and other times it may have started out as a joke and just stuck and other times it just really works and you couldn't imagine what took its place before it came about. A good example of a slang word or phrase that needs to be in the dictionary is "jawn/jaun" (however you spell it). It is one of the best slang words developed in philly. I didn't realize how much of a philly thing it was until I got to college, where I found myself actually explaining on multiple occasions the proper usage and definition of the word. It simply takes the place of a noun/pronoun. It's great. Now on the other end of the spectrum there's this whole "in my bag" movement. Like seriously, I understand what it means, and where it's going but at the same time, where the did that come from and why? I'm just not a fan of it, just say "I'm fly," "doing it," "showing off," or one of those originals. Like I said in the beginning, either I'm getting to old for my age be just going with the flow or I'm just more in tune with that them song than I thought. Stand out...

KU Overcomes Second-Half Deficit to Down Holy Family and Stay Unbeaten
KU clawed back and then Ben took over. The senior guard's three-point play at the 15:08 mark tied the score at 48. Ben hit a layup on KU's next possession for the lead, then another three-point play and a 3-point field goal by Ben gave KU a 56-48 lead with 13:01 to play.

Aint This Some "BUSH" Sh!T
The new round of White House pardons are Bush's first since March and come less than two months before he will end his presidency. The crimes committed by those on the list also include offenses involving hazardous waste, food stamps, and the theft of government property. Bush has been stingy during his time in office about handing out such reprieves.
Including these actions, he has granted a total of 171 and eight commutations. That's less than half as many as Presidents Clinton or Reagan issued during their time in office. Both were two-term presidents.
On the latest pardon list were:
- Leslie Owen Collier of Charleston, Mo. She was convicted for unauthorized use of a pesticide and violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
- Milton Kirk Cordes of Rapid City, S.D. Cordes was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits importation into the country of wildlife taken in violation of conservation laws.
- Richard Micheal Culpepper of Mahomet, Ill., who was convicted of making false statements to the federal government.
- Brenda Jean Dolenz-Helmer of Fort Worth, Texas, for reporting or helping cover up a crime.
- Andrew Foster Harley of Falls Church, Va. Harley was convicted of wrongful use and distribution of marijuana and cocaine.
- Obie Gene Helton of Rossville, Ga., whose offense was unauthorized acquisition of food stamps.
- Carey C. Hice Sr. of Travelers Rest, S.C., who was convicted of income tax evasion.
- Geneva Yvonne Hogg of Jacksonville, Fla., convicted of bank embezzlement.
- William Hoyle McCright Jr. of Midland, Texas, who was sentenced for making false entries, books, reports or statements to a bank.
- Paul Julian McCurdy of Sulphur, Okla., who was sentenced for misapplication of bank funds.
- Robert Earl Mohon Jr. of Grant, Ala., who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
- Ronald Alan Mohrhoff of Los Angeles, who was convicted for unlawful use of a telephone in a narcotics felony.
- Daniel Figh Pue III of Conroe, Texas, convicted of illegal treatment, storage and disposal of a hazardous waste without a permit.
- Orion Lynn Vick of White Hall, Ark., who was convicted of aiding and abetting the theft of government property.
Bush also commuted the prison sentences of John Edward Forte of North Brunswick, N.J., and James Russell Harris of Detroit, Mich. Both were convicted of cocaine offenses.
Some high-profile individuals, such as Michael Milken, are seeking a pardon on securities fraud charges. Two politicians convicted of public corruption — former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., and four-term Democratic Louisiana Gov. Edwin W. Edwards — are asking Bush to shorten their prison terms.
One hot topic of discussion related to pardons is whether Bush might decide to issue pre-emptive pardons before he leaves office to government employees who authorized or engaged in harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Some constitutional scholars and human rights groups want the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama to investigate possible war crimes.
If Bush were to pardon anyone involved, it would provide protection against criminal charges, particularly for people who were following orders or trying to protect the nation with their actions. But it would also be highly controversial.
At the same time, Obama advisers say there is little — if any — chance that his administration would bring criminal charges.

Ben was fouled while attempting a 3 in the middle of the run and sank all three of his free throws.
Leading by eight with 1:41 left in the half, Gray hit a 3-pointer to start a 20-5 run that extended into the second half. After the run, KU led 56-33 with 15:34 left. The closest USP came was within 12 points with 4:22 remaining.
KU shot above 50 percent in each half to finish 29-of-53 from the field (54.7 percent).
USP also shot well, making 56 percent of its shots; however, 23 turnovers helped KU run away with the win.
The Golden Bears will play their first home game of the 2008-09 season when they host Goldey-Beacom at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
