It's a very short clip. Renee does not make excuses. She says she doesn't feel comfortable around Natalie and she can't "pretend" or fake it. When she says maybe Ang or Drita can "fake" being nice, Drita blows a gasket. There has to be more to this scene then we are seeing. Renee does say she needs to talk to Natalie and I hope it's to fire her from her business. I am still puzzled why Ang and Drita, who could not stand Natalie in episode one, are now turning on Renee? Have a look for yourself. </div><br /><br /><div style="background-color: black; width: 520px;"><div style="padding: 4px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="288" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:997412/cp~series%3D2216%26id%3D1721270%26vid%3D997412%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A997412" width="512"></iframe></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 4px; text-align: left;">Get More: <a href="http://www.vh1.com/shows/mob_wives/season_4/series.jhtml" style="color: #439cd8;" target="_blank">Mob Wives (Season 4)</a></div></div></div>

There, Barnett married Juan Geldenhuys, who became privy to her secret. Savanna Todd became Samantha  Geldenhuys, the couple had a son together, now 17; and the family moved first to New Zealand and later to Australia, where Barnett and Geldenhuys eventually separated. Samantha finished high school in Australia and began studying for her nursing degree before her stepdad — the man she knew as her father— died of cancer, according to the news report. Soon after, Samantha’s mom was arrested and taken to Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre, where she is currently awaiting a hearing and possible extradition to the United States</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Samantha tells “Today Tonight” she was, of course, stunned to learn of her history, she understands why her mother kidnapped her. “She became the most incredible woman when she’d realized that she’d saved me. Whatever the case, she succeeded in what she wanted to do, and it wasn’t easy along the way,” she insists. “She gave up everything that she loved, she knew, and started anew just for me.”</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">That new life came crashing down after a simple slip-up: Former friends of Barnett heard her call Samantha by her birth name, Savanna. They became suspicious, did a little investigating, and got in touch with Todd. It then took two years for the FBI to make the arrest, on international parental kidnapping and passport violations.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">As for how Barnett explained the unfathomable situation to her unsuspecting daughter: “She just said there had been an event 20 years ago, that she was being arrested due to her having had a previous marriage and conceiving me within the marriage, and it became unsafe and had to flee to protect me,” Samantha recalls, crying. “I remember saying, ‘Dad’s just been taken away from us — they can’t take you.’” </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Since learning the truth, Samantha remains steadfast about her not being damaged in any way by her mother’s actions, and she says she won’t go back to using her old name. “A name does not change who you are,” she says. “Savanna can be a remembrance of what happened 20 years ago, but Samantha is who I am and who I will be.”</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">As for her mom, who could up to 23 years in prison if convincted, Samantha adds, “She’s a strong woman.”</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">yahoo.</span></div>

Democrats, seeking to cast Republicans as uncaring about the middle class, have urged Obama to focus on economic mobility and the gap between the wealthy and poor. His emphasis on executive actions was greeted with shouts of "Do it!" from many members of his party.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Declaring 2014 a "year of action," Obama also sought to convince an increasingly skeptical public that he still wields power in Washington even if he can't crack through the divisions in Congress. Burned by a series of legislative failures in 2013, White House aides say they're now redefining success not by what Obama can jam through Congress but by what actions he can take on his own.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Indeed, Obama's proposals for action by lawmakers were slim and largely focused on old ideas that have gained little traction over the past year. He pressed Congress to revive a stalled immigration overhaul, pass an across-the-board increase in the federal minimum wage and expand access to early childhood education — all ideas that gained little traction after he proposed them last year. The president's one new legislation proposal calls for expanding an income tax credit for workers without children.</div><div class="body-related" style="background-color: white; clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; position: relative;"><a class="body-related-link body-related-video go-to-slideshow-lightbox rapid-noclick-resp landscape onesize get-lbdata-from-dom" data-rapid_p="8" data-uuid="fb6a1931-0da6-35d7-b1f8-bf852c36fbf5" href="http://news.yahoo.com/video/president-supports-minimum-wage-increase-015942600.html" style="color: #324fe1; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 300px; position: relative; text-decoration: none;" title="President Supports Minimum Wage Increase"><div class="img-wrap" style="position: relative;"><div class="cta-overlay" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.24s linear; font-size: 13px; height: 169px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; transition: background-color 0.24s linear; width: 300px;"><span class="clearfix title cta-text medium" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; color: white; font-size: 16px; left: 5px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; transition: opacity 0.24s linear; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 270px; zoom: 1;">President Supports Minimum Wage Increase</span><span class="cta-text xsmall" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; bottom: 5px; color: white; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 42px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; transition: opacity 0.24s linear;">Play video</span><span class="icon-play icon-white-play-xsmall" style="background-color: #324fe1; background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: cover; border-bottom-left-radius: 4px; border-bottom-right-radius: 4px; border-top-left-radius: 4px; border-top-right-radius: 4px; bottom: 5px; cursor: pointer; height: 23px; left: 5px; line-height: 0; padding: 0px; position: absolute; text-indent: -1000em; width: 32px; z-index: 1;"></span></div><img alt="President Supports Minimum Wage Increase" class="body-related-thumb" data-src-2x="" height="169" src="http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/TME9V9cIbdqfNHquCgmuew--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTE2OTtxPTc1O3c9MzAw/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/video/video.abcnewsplus.com/1571f5d65a0729cb068e6d19f72732a0" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border: 0px; display: block; opacity: 1 !important; transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; vertical-align: baseline; visibility: visible !important;" width="300" /></div></a></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Republicans, who saw their own approval ratings fall further in 2013, have also picked up the refrain of income inequality in recent months, though they have cast the widening gap between rich and poor as a symptom of Obama's economic policies.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">"Republicans have plans to close the gap, plans that focus on jobs first without more spending, government bailouts and red tape," said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., in the Republicans' televised response to the president's speech. "We hope the president will join us in a year of real action, by empowering people, not making their lives harder with unprecedented spending, higher taxes, and fewer jobs."</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8013" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The economy and other domestic issues, including health care, dominated the president's address. He touched only briefly on foreign policy, reiterating his threat to veto any new sanctions Congress might levy on Iran while nuclear negotiations with the Islamic republic are underway and touting the drawdown of American troops from Afghanistan this year.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8020" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">In an emotional high point, Obama singled out Cory Remsburg, an Army Ranger who was a guest of first lady Michelle Obama. Remsburg, who was nearly killed in Afghanistan during one of his 10 deployments, rose slowly from his seat and was greeted by long and thunderous applause from the president and lawmakers.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8026" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Even as Washington increasingly focuses on income inequality, many parts of the economy are gaining strength, with corporate profits soaring and the financial markets hitting record highs. But with millions of Americans still out of work or struggling with stagnant wages, Obama has found himself in the sometimes awkward position of promoting a recovery that feels distant for many.</div><div class="body-related" style="background-color: white; clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; position: relative;"><a class="body-related-link body-related-video go-to-slideshow-lightbox rapid-noclick-resp landscape onesize get-lbdata-from-dom" data-rapid_p="9" data-uuid="eabeb446-f717-398e-b042-e74bd27d029c" href="http://news.yahoo.com/video/president-obama-women-deserve-equal-015658117.html" style="color: #324fe1; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 300px; position: relative; text-decoration: none;" title="President Obama: Women Deserve Equal Pay"><div class="img-wrap" style="position: relative;"><div class="cta-overlay" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.24s linear; font-size: 13px; height: 169px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; transition: background-color 0.24s linear; width: 300px;"><span class="clearfix title cta-text medium" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; color: white; font-size: 16px; left: 5px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; transition: opacity 0.24s linear; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 270px; zoom: 1;">President Obama: Women Deserve Equal Pay</span><span class="cta-text xsmall" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; bottom: 5px; color: white; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 42px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; transition: opacity 0.24s linear;">Play video</span><span class="icon-play icon-white-play-xsmall" style="background-color: #324fe1; background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: cover; border-bottom-left-radius: 4px; border-bottom-right-radius: 4px; border-top-left-radius: 4px; border-top-right-radius: 4px; bottom: 5px; cursor: pointer; height: 23px; left: 5px; line-height: 0; padding: 0px; position: absolute; text-indent: -1000em; width: 32px; z-index: 1;"></span></div><img alt="President Obama: Women Deserve Equal Pay" class="body-related-thumb" data-src-2x="" height="169" src="http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/aEtsoj6CyIcisCjkQqwTyw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTE2OTtxPTc1O3c9MzAw/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/video/video.abcnewsplus.com/d309e95d6efdc9e455276aa33aebbe09" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border: 0px; display: block; opacity: 1 !important; transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; vertical-align: baseline; visibility: visible !important;" width="300" /></div></a></div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8032" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">"The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by, let alone get ahead," Obama said. "And too many still aren't working at all."</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The president garnered some of his loudest applause — at least from Democrats — when he took on lawmakers who oppose his signature health care law, which floundered in its initial rollout last fall. Obama said that while he doesn't expect to convince Republicans on the merits of the law, "I know that the American people aren't interested in refighting old battles."</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The president's speech drew an eclectic mix of visitors to the House chamber. Among those sitting with Mrs. Obama were two survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing, as well as Jason Collins, an openly gay former NBA player. Republican House Speaker John Boehner brought business owners from his home state of Ohio who say Obama's health care overhaul is hurting their companies.

For example, he unilaterally can raise the minimum hourly wage for new federal contractors from $7.25 to $10.10, as he announced, but he'll need Congress in order to extend that increase to all of America's workers.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The executive order for contractors, which Obama will sign in the coming weeks, is limited in its scope. It will not affect existing federal contracts, only new ones, and then only if other terms of an agreement change.</div><div class="body-related" style="background-color: white; clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; position: relative;"><a class="body-related-link body-related-video go-to-slideshow-lightbox rapid-noclick-resp landscape onesize get-lbdata-from-dom" data-rapid_p="10" data-uuid="cfbde7f4-3087-3271-ba07-b42689e8e159" href="http://news.yahoo.com/video/president-obama-pushes-immigration-reform-014639107.html" style="color: #324fe1; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 300px; position: relative; text-decoration: none;" title="President Obama Pushes Immigration Reform"><div class="img-wrap" style="position: relative;"><div class="cta-overlay" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.24s linear; font-size: 13px; height: 169px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; transition: background-color 0.24s linear; width: 300px;"><span class="clearfix title cta-text medium" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; color: white; font-size: 16px; left: 5px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; transition: opacity 0.24s linear; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 270px; zoom: 1;">President Obama Pushes Immigration Reform</span><span class="cta-text xsmall" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; bottom: 5px; color: white; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 42px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; transition: opacity 0.24s linear;">Play video</span><span class="icon-play icon-white-play-xsmall" style="background-color: #324fe1; background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: cover; border-bottom-left-radius: 4px; border-bottom-right-radius: 4px; border-top-left-radius: 4px; border-top-right-radius: 4px; bottom: 5px; cursor: pointer; height: 23px; left: 5px; line-height: 0; padding: 0px; position: absolute; text-indent: -1000em; width: 32px; z-index: 1;"></span></div><img alt="President Obama Pushes Immigration Reform" class="body-related-thumb" data-src-2x="" height="169" src="http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/cmNuFxUzAv4YrN6Wnj29OQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTE2OTtxPTc1O3c9MzAw/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/video/video.abcnewsplus.com/23938d60e0aec341025698a7d560fb3e" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border: 0px; display: block; opacity: 1 !important; transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; vertical-align: baseline; visibility: visible !important;" width="300" /></div></a></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Republicans quickly panned the executive initiative as ineffective.

He made a renewed pitch for legislation to overhaul the nation's fractured immigration laws, perhaps his best opportunity for signing significant legislation this year. But the odds remain long, with many Republicans staunchly opposed to Obama's plan for creating a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million people already in the U.S. illegally.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Seeking to give the GOP some room to maneuver, Obama did not specifically call for a citizenship pathway Tuesday, saying only, "Let's get it done.

Obama wants it broadened so that it provides more help than it does now to workers without children, a view embraced by some Republicans and conservative economists.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Obama singled out Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who has proposed replacing the tax credit with a federal wage supplement for workers in certain low-paying jobs. Unlike Obama, however, Republicans have suggested expanding the tax credit as an alternative to increasing the minimum wage.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Pivoting briefly to foreign policy, Obama reaffirmed that the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan will formally conclude at the end of this year. But he said a small contingent of American forces could be left behind if the Afghan government quickly signs a bilateral security agreement, a prospect that looks increasingly uncertain.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8054" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The president also warned lawmakers in both parties against passing new economic sanctions against Iran while the U.S. and international partners are holding nuclear negotiations with the Islamic republic. He renewed his commitment to veto sanctions legislation if it passes, arguing that a new round of penalties would upend the sensitive diplomacy.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8038" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">___</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390978657155_8046" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Associated Press writers Josh Lederman, Jim Kuhnhenn, Nedra Pickler and Henry C.

What to Expect From Janet Yellen's Fed (Musical Tribute)

<a href="http://insights.wm.ml.com/articles/q-and-a-what-to-expect-from-janet-yellens-fed.html#fbid=TEPUGjjL0LI">Q&A: What to Expect From Janet Yellen's Fed</a><br /><br /><div style="color: #666666;"><i>Beyond that, <span style="color: red;">I wouldn't be surprised if the Fed under Yellen lowers the unemployment-rate threshold</span> that could trigger an increase in interest rates. A number of years ago, the Fed introduced this idea of a 6.5% unemployment threshold for considering rate hikes. But that threshold is almost certainly out of date. That's because the unemployment rate continues to drop for the wrong reasons: We keep getting a decline in the number of people looking for work. The Fed wants strong job growth, not people abandoning the labor force. And so it has to decide whether to throw it away or go to lower the level. <span style="color: red;">Our feeling is the Fed will lower it to 6% or perhaps 5.5%.</span></i></div><br />And how long would we expect that unemployment rate to stay at 5.5%?<br /><br />The following chart shows the 30 year moving average of the unemployment rate.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcot_2pxT07oZE3QGGyZYrOEperp_z__vM6GrnFvz0r2wvM5-YOb0epqHyzG0ZD7w8t1dnn2kAT8RoMD2oiIOw3jF2MFrtABPnHX5K0BAMkrzqhTnp1FCZRKic7EHvYEt-oiNszmrC7KU/s1600/Unemployment+Rate+over+the+Long-Term.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcot_2pxT07oZE3QGGyZYrOEperp_z__vM6GrnFvz0r2wvM5-YOb0epqHyzG0ZD7w8t1dnn2kAT8RoMD2oiIOw3jF2MFrtABPnHX5K0BAMkrzqhTnp1FCZRKic7EHvYEt-oiNszmrC7KU/s320/Unemployment+Rate+over+the+Long-Term.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Click to enlarge.</span><br /><br />Note that 5.5% seems like a pipe dream over the long-term (unless we can somehow magically undo the permanent damage done in the 1970s).<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/12tce-THLUE" width="420"></iframe><br /><br />Yellen love you long time.<br /><br />(Shame on me for going there, lol.
