So, based on some of the comments here lately (and/or lack thereof) it appears nobody's really in the mood for talking about the Tribe these days. That's ok, I don't feel like writing about them any more than you feel like reading about them anyway. Besides, how many different ways can I say "this team is awful" and "it's time to try something different"? My thesaurus is out of pages. So its time to move on and talk about a team that is more fun to write about these days….the Cavaliers. The NBA Draft is coming up on June 26th, so what better time than now to start looking ahead?
For your convenience, I have rounded up a nice collection of mock drafts out there. I figured first we'd see who other sites think the Cavaliers will take, and then we can discuss who we think the Cavaliers should/will take with their pick. Fair warning, though, projecting the 19th pick is tricky, especially when all the draft camps and private workouts have yet to be conducted. Furthermore, projecting the Cavaliers picks is even trickier than most because of how close to the vest the team keeps info on which players they like and which players they are inviting for workouts. Let's face it, when even Brian Windhorst has trouble getting good inside info, you know the team is being extremely tight-lipped. None the less, lets have some fun and take some guesses.
The Mock Drafts
- Draft Express:
- The Pick: Chase Budinger, SG/SF, Soph, 6'7″ 190 lbs, Arizona
- Analysis: Budinger did a good job in this NCAA tournament game of not only being extremely productive, but also displaying better potential in various parts of the scouting report that were thought to be weaknesses. He was extremely aggressive for one looking for his shot and trying to make things happen, moving off the ball extremely well and showing absolutely no hesitation spotting up with his terrific stroke when an opportunity presented itself—which hasn't always been the case this year to say the least. He also showed a little more versatility on the offensive end, handling the ball and finishing in transition, and beating his defender off the bounce with an aggressive slashing move on at least five separation occasions from what we counted, either getting fouled or scoring off the glass in the process. He scored 23 points on 8-13 shooting, adding 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and got to the free throw line seven times—a very nice all-around offensive performance to leave a good taste in scout's mouths if he indeed decides to enter the draft.

- ESPN Insider, Chad Ford:
- The Pick: Kosta Koufos, C, Fresh, 7'0″ 265 lbs, Ohio State
- Analysis: If Koufos slips this far, it will be tough for the Cavs to pass on him. He's a very skilled big man who gets up and down the floor really well. Some scouts compare him to a young Zydrunas Ilgauskas. He needs to get stronger, but he's got great upside for a pick this low in the draft.
- SI.com Mock Draft:
- The Pick: Brandon Rush, SG/SF, Junior, 6'6″ 210 lbs, Kansas
- Analysis: A big guard who can defend, a Josh Howard-type with an improving jumper. The hope is that he'll help spread the floor for LeBron James.
- CollegeHoops.net:
- The Pick: DeAndre Jordan, C, Fresh, 7'0″ 240 lbs, Texas A&M
- Analysis: Whichever NBA team drafts Jordan will have to be patient with him. As the Lakers can attest with Andrew Bynum, the wait could be well worth it as Jordan has all the makings of a quality NBA big.
- InsideHoops.com:
- The Pick: Brandon Rush, SG/SF, Junior, 6'6″ 210 lbs, Kansas
- Analysis: N/A
- Ridiculous Upside:
- The Pick: Chris Douglas-Roberts, SG, Junior, 6'7″ 200 lbs, Memphis
- Analysis: N/A
- NBC Sports:
- The Pick: Jason Thompson, PF, Senior, 6'11" 250 lbs, Rider
- Analysis: Thompson played at a low mid-major, Rider, but he had 24 against N.C. State and 24 against Kansas State. He plays hard and harder. Watching him in the conference tournament you could see he has some room to get better, even though he is already a senior. When he gets on an NBA strength program for those legs, and has another big man inside to help with the load, you can see him stick for a while. LeBron is getting older; this is a mature help.
- HoopsWorld:
- The Pick: Brandon Rush, SG/SF, Junior, 6'7″ 211 lbs, Kansas
- Analysis: N/A
- RealGM:
- The Pick: Nicolas Batum, SG/SF, 6'8″ 215 lbs, France
- Analysis: LeBron James desperately needs another scorer and Batum could become the top scorer on a few NBA teams. He has ample athleticism, an absurdly long wingspan and well-developed skills in nearly every aspect of the game. The questions regarding his motor and aggressiveness to dominate appear to be his biggest obstacle between being good and being great. Batum has NBA range on his effective, albeit flawed jumper, but he is better in the mid-range especially coming off screens and the great balance he has when creating his own shot off the dribble. Despite his slight stature, he can attack the rim and as his body fills out, he will be able to take advantage of this with greater frequency.
- Pro Basketball News:
- The Pick: Brandon Rush, SG, Junior, 6'6″ 210 lbs, Kansas
- Analysis: He showed off his versatility and an increased maturity level in bouncing back from a torn ACL that threatened to jeopardize his pro aspirations. The Cavs have plenty of holes to shore up and could do worse adding a multi-faceted swingman who should be able to contribute immediately.
The Prospects:
- DeAndre Jordan – 7'0″ 260 lb C, Texas A&M
- Best Case: Andrew Bynum, Worst Case: Patrick O'Bryant
- Why I like DeAndre: Potential, potential, potential. Athletically, this guy is a freak of nature. You can't help but notice him when he's on the court. If he fully develops, by the time Big Z is ready to retire, DeAndre could potentially be an All-Star caliber Center ready to step right in.
- Why I don't like DeAndre: Potential, potential, potential. The Cavaliers don't necessarily have the time to wait for someone to develop, which means they may need to take a more polished player. DeAndre has a LOT of weaknesses that need to be addressed before he's ready to make an impact at the NBA level.
- Russell Westbrook – 6'3″ 187 lb PG/SG, UCLA
- Best Case: Leandro Barbosa, Worst Case: Shannon Brown
- Why I like Russell: Incredibly quick and athletic, able to push the tempo and give the Cavs a bit of an offensive facelift. Also, a really solid defender who would help bolster the perimeter defense.
- Why I don't like Russell: Not really a true PG, he's more of a tweener. The biggest reason I don't want any part of him, though, is his erratic shooting. Although, I suppose the good news is that he might be able to put HeyLarryHughes back in business.
- Kosta Koufos – 7'1″ 245 lb C, Ohio State
- Best Case: Mehmet Okur, Worst Case: Esteban Batista
- Why I like Kosta: Again, potential. In the NIT tournament, we started to see some of the tools Kosta has at his disposal. With his size and outside shooting, his a matchup nightmare for any team. He's like a less talented Dirk Nowitzki if he reaches his full potential.
- Why I don't like Kosta: Soft. At times seems disinterested in what's going on. Nowhere near ready to play in the NBA yet, this is a long term project. One the Cavaliers should be wary of.
- Brandon Rush – 6'7″ 211 lb SG/SF, Kansas
- Best Case: Eddie Jones, Worst Case: Kelenna Azubuike
- Why I like Brandon: What's not to like? He's a solid shooter, has freakish athleticism and length, is a great defender, has plenty of experience, and played a key role on an NCAA Championship team. He could potentially provide an instant impact in the Cavaliers lineup, even if it is coming off the bench initially. Could develop into the starting 2 guard on the Cavs.
- Why I don't like Brandon: Struggling to come up with a reason. Focus and turnovers, maybe? Sub par free throw shooting? That's about all I've got. As far as 19th picks go, it's hard to do much better.
- Darrell Arthur – 6'9″ 215 lb PF, Kansas
- Best Case: Antonio McDyess, Worst Case: Josh Powell
- Why I like Darrell: I probably like Darrell more than most, but I think he could be a very good pro player. I can see him being an integral role player on a Championship team….you know, kind of like how he was with Kansas. He can be a dynamic offensive player eventually, but right now athleticism and defense could provide instant value.
- Why I don't like Darrell: As with any big man you're going to get this low, you have to be patient with them, and I'm not sure the Cavs can afford to be patient right now. They need to get better now, and often the learning curve is shorter for PGs and SGs than it is for PFs and Cs.
- Donte Green – 6'10" 220 lb PF, Syracuse
- Best Case: Rashard Lewis, Worst Case: Dermarr Johnson
- Why I like Donte: Good question.
- Why I don't like Donte: He's nothing more than a project, in my opinion. Any time you mix Donte's size with his offensive tools, he's going to be an intriguing prospect, but his lack of true position and his lack of desire to work on defense simply won't fit with Mike Brown's system.
- Nicolas Batum – 6'8″ 214 lb SG/SF, France
- Best Case: Rudy Gay, Worst Case: Thabo Sefolosha
- Why I like Nicolas: I haven't seen him play once. So I must simply defer to what others have said about him
- Why I don't like Nicolas: Same answer as above.
- Marreese Speights – 6'10" 245 lb PF/C, Florida
- Best Case: Al Jefferson, Worst Case: Jackie Butler
- Why I like Marreese: Marreese is one of my favorite prospects based on potential. He is so dynamic on offense, he can be virtually unstoppable at times. If he reaches his potential, he will be a solid NBA All-Star, I truly believe that.
- Why I don't like Marreese: First and foremost, I'm biased against anyone who went to Florida….other than Erin Andrews, of course. Other than that, his focus is a major concern, as is his dedication to staying on the low post, as he tends to float outside.
- Chris Douglas-Roberts – 6'7″ 200 lb SG, Memphis
- Best Case: Jerry Stackhouse, Worst Case: Marquis Daniels
- Why I like Chris: CDR and Brandon Rush are 1a and 1b on my wish list with the #19 pick. Chris Ford says it better than I could: "Douglas-Roberts would be a great fit for the
HornetsCavaliers if he's still on the board here. He is a big-time scorer who excels at slashing to the basket. He also is an excellent midrange shooter and should be able to step in and contribute right away." Ok, so Chad has him going to New Orleans and not Cleveland…..but the Cavs pick first, so they can still take him. I like what he can bring to the lineup immediately. He can make an impact.
- Why I don't like Chris: Watch the last 2 minutes of the National Title game again. I didn't see a leader who put his team on his back and refused to let them blow that game. But, the good news here is that with Cleveland, that's LeBron's role. The Cavs would just need CDR to contribute in a supporting role.
- Roy Hibbert – 7'2″ 272 lb C, Georgetown
- Best Case: Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Worst Case: Boniface NDong
- Why I like Roy: You can't teach size. Hibbert is a true Center in every sense of the word. Plus, he's experienced and wouldn't be as much of a project. He may lack the upside, but he's more ready to go now. He's a great defender and has nice touch on his shot.
- Why I don't like Roy: Softness, his lack of intensity, his lack of improvement from day one, his lack of raw athleticism. If I could be guaranteed he'd turn into Zydrunas Ilgauskas #2, I'd say go ahead and take him. But you can't guarantee me that, and so I say pass.
- JaVale McGee – 7'0″ 237 lb PF/C, Nevada
- Best Case: Channing Frye, Worst Case: Patrick O'Bryant
- Why I lake JaVale: Potential. And only potential.
- Why I don't like JaVale: Ditto. Plus, I've never seen him play, either, so I can't have much of an opinion.
- Robin Lopez – 7'0″ 255 lb C, Stanford
- Best Case: Joakim Noah, Worst Case: Marcin Gortat
- Why I like Robin: Size, effort, and energy.
- Why I don't like Robin: Best case scenario: Joakim Noah? No-ah Thank You-ah.
- Ty Lawson – 5'11" 175 lb PG, North Carolina
- Best Case: T.J. Ford, Worst Case: Jamaal Tinsley
- Why I like Ty: Speed, speed, speed. He has all the quickness, athleticism, and tenacity you could want. He has shown he can run a high powered offense and an elite team. Plus, his speed and athleticism give him the potential to be a truly great defensive player in the NBA, even if his size is lacking.
- Why I don't like Ty: Size is worrisome, as is his shot. He has a very good stop and pop midrange shot, but his outside shooting is inconsistent.
- Jason Thompson – 6'11" 250 lb PF/C, Rider
- Best Case: Mark Blount, Worst Case: Malik Allen
- Why I like Jason: Who?
- Why I don't like Jason: Seriously, who? I mean, how many nationally televised games did Rider get? I'm not a paid scout, and I just didn't see this guy play, so I can't relay anything new about him.
What The Cavaliers Should Do
I'm not totally opposed to the Cavaliers packaging this pick with some other players and expiring contracts. I think a package of Wally Szczerbiak (and his $13 million in expiring money), Daniel Gibson (signed to a decent offer), and the 19th pick could bring back something pretty solid in return. I'm thinking more along the lines of Baron Davis than Jermaine O'Neal. If the Cavaliers feel that they cannot find a player who can make a fairly significant positive impact immediately, then they need to shop this pick as part of a package, in my opinion.
With that being said, I've already mention that I realy, REALLY like Brandon Rush and Chris Douglas-Roberts with this low of a pick. I have a feeling Rush will end up jumping up higher on people's draft boards and will be gone by the time Cleveland picks at 19, leaving CDR as my preferred pick. Call me crazy, but I think CDR's athleticism and toughness will fit right in and prove to be a plus. I love the way he improved his shot last year. I love the fact that he has experience and isn't really a project. He's ready to go in a lot of ways, and I like this pick.
If the Cavaliers feel they want to go with PG, I doubt Russell Westbrook will still be there. The only real legit PG prospect that could be available there would be Ty Lawson. Lawson is such an unknown. His size and perimeter shot scares me much like T.J. Ford, but at the same time, Ford did have a +20 PER last season. If Lawson can reach those heights, he just might be exactly what the Cavaliers need.
However, if the Cavaliers feel they must take a big man, as Windhorst suggested in his article in the ABJ, then I would like to see the Cavs take Marreese Speights or Darrell Arthur if he somehow slips to them. I'd even rather see Hibbert taken than some major high risk, high reward pick like Koufos or JaVale McGee. But I think Speights and Arthur are the safer picks with higher upsides than Hibbert.
In the end, what I think the Cavs should do with this pick is:
- Brandon Rush
- Chris Douglas-Roberts
- Trade it
- Darrell Arthur
- Ty Lawson
- Marreese Speights
- Roy Hibbert
What The Cavaliers Will Do
The million dollar question. What will Danny Ferry do with this pick. As much as I think Ferry would love to pick a big man with future potential like Speights or maybe even JaVale McGee, I think deep down Danny will realize that the last time he picked based on potential in the first round (Shannon Brown), it blew up on the team. The Cavs can't waste another first rounder on years of D-League development like they did with Shannon Brown. We're still a month away and plenty can change, but as of today, May 30, 2008, I am predicting that the Cavaliers pick will be:
Roy Hibbert
Chris Douglas-Roberts
…….I'll let you guys read between the lines on that one…..

Cyber Liability Insurance for Universities: Incentivizing Best Practices as a Condition to Coverage (a.k.a "Reverse Underwriting")
Computer hacking is a constantly evolving and growing threat. While recent high-profile network security breaches at companies such as Epsilon and Sony (with crisis management and other costs estimated to range from $1 billion to multiples thereof in the case of Sony) have helped raise awareness about the need to adequately protect personal identifiable information, the problem has existed for decades.
Yet the situation has only recently begun to receive proper attention from the media, government officials, businesses, and certain segments of the insurance industry. Of course, the cost of a security breach may have something to do with that. According to a study from Marsh and the Ponemon Institute, the typical data breach in FY 2010 resulted in companies and their insurers have to pay an average of $7.2 million to deal with and remedy the situation.
One particularly alluring target for hackers has been educational institutions. While schools and universities may not immediately appear to be obvious targets, the statistics confirm that attacks against educational institutions are on the rise.
In 2007, educational institutions accounted for 25% of all reported data breaches. This number jumped to 33% in 2008. See Sarah Stephens & Shannan Fort, Cyber Liability & Higher Education, Aon Professional Risk Solutions White Paper (December 2008) Read the rest of this entry

If no, what should I do to avoid my employee file in a claim for past "On-duty Meal"? Thank you very much.

The Cullens and the Hales are rival families in Forks High School, and everyone knows it. Every student to pass through the doors has known to pick a family to side with, and stay loyal to that family. That is, until Isabella Swan arrives, and her decision becomes increasingly more important.
Huge thanks to m81170 for the awesome banner.
Interesting story! Very different from other fanfic, and I've read quite a lot. I wonder if any of the peons at the school has explained to Bella the rivalry between the two and whether Bella has figured out she's the next piece they're scrabbling over.
Thank-you. I'm glad to hear that it's different, it's always a worry that someone has done the same thing already.
I think someone would have explained to her, it seems liked one the basics they'd cover. But I don't think she realizes how intense the feud us, or how important she is to their little games.
Edward comes to Bella's rescue in Port Angeles, but what happens when he shows up just a little late? He manages to protect her from her attackers, but his rage towards the men and his lust for Bella's spilt blood make him the real danger. How will they handle the consequence of a choice she didn't have a chance to make? AU starting in Twilight
Twilighted Supervisory Beta: qjmom
Twilighted Validation Beta: Twilightzoner
I don't own these characters. They belong to the all-powerful Stephenie Meyer. I just bring them out to play.
I'm getting a little mixed up with book Twilight and movie Twilight, but I guess we're following book Twilight where Bella already knows what Edward is because of Jacob, right? Which is good. I rather like the idea of this, it's a good premise to start from. I can't wait to see Bella as a newborn and Edward dealing with his guilt and all that. I guess they'll have to move from Forks though. Can't have someone seeing Bella, after all!
Just found this story and I'm intrigued. I like the time frame because Bella knows but she's uncertain, and of course she hasn't acknowledged her feelings yet. Edward, on the other hand, if I remember right, has acknowledged his feelings to himself? I can't remember right now Midnight Sun. Anyway, I can't wait to see more!
Bella, Lauren, Alice and Rose all find each other and become a family. Charlie loves his girls but is leading a double life. The world that they know is blown apart and secrets come out. The girls enter Charlie's world and the V.D.A is born.
Huh, this is a new twist! I'm sorry you had to kill off Charlie though, he sounded like such an excellent guy! I loved the fact he had adopted all the girls like that.
Interesting storyline - I can't wait to see more, it sounds like it's going to be incredibly exciting.
thank you for reading. i have wonderful plans for this and i am sorry i killed off charlie too but it will all come out eventually. thank you for your review!
Wow, lots of weird details. Sounds like Charlie was a super-something. I can't imagine Bella not wanting to find his killer though, that seems like the first thing she'd want is to find justice for his murder.
there is a reason behind it and it will come out. thanks for reading.
I can't live without Edward. Not now, not ever. I've got a plan. I'm just going to have to call in a few favors first.
So I like the idea of a proactive Bella. Interesting! I actually found your story on ff.net but because of whatever technical issues they're having I couldn't review. Which also means I have read already all that you have posted over there! *grin* I like that you made Bella's power more interesting - the whole shield thing in BD was slightly disappointing to me in a way. But I do wonder if Edward will still be unable to read Bella's mind now.
Bella has given up her whole life for those around her. What will she do, who will she be, where will she go with no one and nothing holding her back anymore? AH/AU, canon pairings eventually - NON-canon pairings initially.
Edward was a real gem taking care of Bella so well. I know a lot of guys who would have been too uncomfortable in that situation and left it up to Alice to take care of it. It looks like Bella is really dealing with her heartaches. I'm glad. I can't imagine how she must feel on a daily basis. I'm glad that Edward isn't acting jealous of her experiences with Jasper and Tanya. Well, Jasper - I don't think many guys would get upset at the thought of girl on girl action. But still, he isn't going all caveman and that's exactly what she needs right now. Thanks for the update!Author's Response:
Thanks for the review; I am glad you enjoyed the chapter :)Here is your promised teaser:"Well, you two seem perfect together, the very little bit I've seen," I said, emphasizing the last part. "I know, we've just be shut in at his place. He has a great apartment. His parents have money, so they rent this beautiful place for him. He has a nice area setup to work on homework, and he's just the best kisser ever," she sighed."I would beg to differ, but it's kinda gross to talk about the way your cousin kisses, I imagine."I flopped on the bed next to her, my body facing the opposite direction."You love him, Rose?""Oh yeah. Totally. Do you love Edward?"
Well now I'm curious as to what is in Edward's past to make him appreciate Bella so much. Should have realized such perfection was forged in some sort of fire. Thanks for the update!Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! Glad you liked the chapter. :)
The awkwardness of that day for Bella reached unparalelled heights. You gotta give props for doing it. I can't help but be curious as to what happened with Tanya and Kate's relationship now. Edward losing his twin was sad and totally unexpected. Somehow I cannot imagine a female Edward. I know that's the last thing I should be thinking about but that was the first thing that popped into my head. Thanks foe the update!Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! I am glad you liked the chapter :)
Tanya and Kate, in my head, are still together -- that was the real kicker, but I coudln't work it into the chapter anywhere! Tanya didn't break up with Kate, she just knew it wasn't going to work long term.
hahah, female Edward.. well.. yeah, I think we'll find out more about her soon. I hope so, anyways.
Oh baby, I'm so happy to see you back! I nearly panicked for a second because I was afraid the new chapter was going to be a note saying you were quitting the fandom or something, then I remembered this was Twilighted not ff. The realities of being a med student-brutal. I couldn't do it, no way. I'm glad that Bella is accepting of it. Thanks for coming back to us and writing!Author's Response:
hahaha, your review cracked me up. Even if I quit the fandom, I'd finish my stories. That would just be so not right to leave people hanging.
Thanks for the review, I'm so glad you've waited and are ready for more :)
I gotta admit, 69 has never been a favorite of mine. I'm just too darn short for it to be anything but slightly awkward, no matter what. But you have to at least try it, right? I'm glad to see Bella being friends still with Tanya. For some reason I like their dynamic.
Thanks for the update!
hehe, I love your confession. You're right, you have to try before you can figure out what works, right? I didn't get the impression Bella was all that into it. Glad you appreciate Tanya's presence still. Next chapter coming in a few. :)
This was a lovely chapter. It was such a good combination of the sadness and continuing process of letting go and grieving for her family that she lost. You really can't imagine what it's like to lose your parents until it happens, and that she lost both so close to each other is truly a tragedy. I liked that Bella took the time to tell Edward what she appreciated about him, it's important to do things like that in a relationship. The shower scene reminded me of Tanya, and I couldn't help but wonder if Edward still fantasizes about Bella with another woman. Why is it that men don't seem to see sex between two women as really sex? I mean, it doesn't seem like guys get jealous at the thought of their girlfriend being with another girl. But of course thinking of their girlfriend with another guy brings out the greeneyed monster real quick.
Oooh, Sheeijan, you raise such a good point. When I ran it by Edward in my head, he wanted to let you know that it's real to him, and he would never, ever share Bella. Maybe I'll have them talk about it at some point, because I'm sure other people are wondering, too. It made me giggle. Thanks for the review, glad you liked the chapter :)
I love the idea of their traveling together for the summer. It is a great thing to do, for one thing. And it also Means she won't feel alone if Edward were to go home. Even if she were to go with him, I don't think it would be the same.Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! Glad you like that idea :)
What would Twilight have been like if the roles were reversed?
Edward, Emmett and Jasper Swan are humans living in Forks with their dad, Charlie and they all work at the police station under their father.
Bella, Rosalie and Alice Cullen are vampires, sent to Forks by their vampire parents, Carlisle and Esme, as punishment.
Banner by Anne Cullen
Just found this story - what a fun read it's been! Not all angsty, just pure fun and a different take on the whole Twilight world.
I'm glad you found me and are liking my work!
Thank you for reading!!
Uh, whoops? Durn, I hope Rosalie didn't take too much blood! But I'm guessing not, since she didn't taste that much of it it seems. I can't wait to see if the others mess up too. *grin* I loved the line about Bella causing Edward brain damage from running around in his head, that was cute!
LOL! Yeah, whoops is right. Thank you for reading, Sheeijan!!
Alice Cullen has been having visions involving her brother, Edward, and his soul mate for the last five years and yet he refuses to believe her. Her last vision brings the Cullen's to Forks, Washington and Alice knows that the girl in her vision is there.
Bella Swan has been plagued with strange dreams and nightmares for the last five years, causing her to develop a small case of insomnia. She has grown tired of her friends and her boyfriend. She views her life as boring. Then the Cullen's arrive.
Edward wants Bella more than life itself. At first it was just her blood but now it is so much more. He knows he should leave but his family won't allow it. He wants to believe Alice when she tells him he won't hurt Bella, but the monster inside him says differently.
A HUGE thanks to psvtiger for the banner...You're freaking amazing and I mean it when I say that I'm your biggest fan for life, girl!! :HUGS:
You know, I honestly think this is the first story I've ever seen that has Bella with a boyfriend that wasn't James or Jacob or Laurent? I'm a little floored by that realization. *grin*
Anyway, the insomnia is an interesting twist. That will add a new dimension if Edward decides to try to sneak into Bella's room at night!
I just couldn't resist! I wanted something that would make it different and mine :)
I look forward to having fun with the insomnia for sure ;) lol
Thank you so much for reading!
Well Edward got to let his protective side come out and play and it was all legit. Alex of course needed to be cast to the wayside, and Trudy - well, I have strong feelings about a girl who would do that to her own friend.
I liked your singer thing, that was a different twist!
I just had to let the real Edward out to play ;) lol. Alex was a necessity at first because I had to have the twist...I'm still thinking about how I'm going to handle him on Monday morning when Bella has to face him...:)
I loved the word 'singer' and just couldn't resist.
Thanks for reading!
Edward just fights so hard, it's sad but honestly I do quite see his point. I know people are so dismissive of Edward's fear of hurting Bella, but I don't see it that way. Just like Bella has self-esteem issues, Edward has issues too and his is that he does truly see himself as a monster.
Thank you for the update! Alice popping out from behind the tree like that actually startled me, but still it was good.
I have always loved Edward. He's been alone for a VERY long time, so he has to get used to the fact that there's even someone who exists that would want him, let alone that someone being human! He's got a lot to handle and I completely respect that. I hope I'm writing him well. I do like him the most :) lol
Alice was thrown in there because she saw Edward walking away from Bella and I just couldn't have that. Plus, she and Edward have a connection that I enjoy. I really love her character and that she is his voice of reason most of the time ;) lol
Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)
It is nice how easily Bella took the news. I liked that. I like the banter and all that, especially when Bella flicked his ear. That's got to annoying as all getout when Edward and Alice have their little private conversations! That would drive me up the wall.
LOL! I had to throw the flicking thing in because I just know I couldn't sit there watching those two communicate with each other like that all the freaking time! :) I flick my husband all time, too, so I couldn't resist ;) lol
Thank you!
Well, they are in high school so a bit of fun never hurts anyone! Besides, I love the idea of Edward publicly "claiming" Bella as his girlfriend. It's so caveman and utterly unworthy of my feminist side but there it is.
Thank you for the update!
I had to make him go all Caveman on her because I know that's so what I would want if I were there! :D lol.
You're so welcome and thank YOU for reviewing! :)
Bella's much nicer to Edward about keeping secrets than I would have been. I'd be majorly angry. I couldn't be with someone who was deliberately keeping information about myself like that. I don't blame Alice because she's just trying to keep the balance with them all.
The eraser room was excellent! Just the two of them acting like regular teenagers. It was nice to see.
I know that it seems like Bella's being too nice, but think about how everyone is always ganging up on Edward. Hell, she lost it when he left. I think it's about time they all matured a bit and just loved each other. Bella knows that Edward loves her, which means she knows that he's going to tell her. Her faith and love overrides anger ;) lol. I was always annoyed with Edward getting yelled at all the time. That's why I having him snapping back a bit...just a bit ;) lol.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the Esme/Edward moment. I love her so much :)
I am so psyched that you like the Eraser Room. The whole regular teenage lust was exactly what I wanted to come out ;) lol
Thank you! And you are most welcome :0)
So something other than PMS is going on with Bella? It's all very strange. I still want to beat Edward upside the head for keeping things from Bella that deal with Bella. It's just wrong in my book. I understand his reasons, but it still doesn't make it any more right or less wrong.
The whole fire thing was interesting! Wow, Bella's powerful as a human or whatever she is.
Yes, something other than PMS is fueling all this. However, the PMS is amplifying something! (GASP).
I know, I know...Edward can be SO frustrating with his overprotective BS. However, I love him very much and this makes for good writing! :D LOL. I do agree with you that keeping this from her is not great. Chapter 17 is going to show us WHY ;) lol.
I am really looking forward to the fire stuff. I think it's so much fun and my ideas are proving to work well. I hope I don't disappoint! :)
You're most welcome and I hope to update again soon! Thank you!
I was wondering if Bella may accidentally set something on fire! It made sense considering she's now dreaming of Edward's past without the hypnotherapy. I can't understand why Edward wasn't worried about that. They have no idea why she's able to do what she does so they shouldn't expect limits like it being only during the therapy for it to happen. *shakes head* The thing is, this was part of the reason why I was so irritated with Edward keeping the secrets because there was high potential of Bella causing serious harm to herself or to someone else. She could have killed Charlie or herself in a house fire, worst case scenario.
Anyway, I think the secrets are going to have to come to an end now. I'm surprised Bella called Edward first though. I don't think it would have occurred to me to call him first!
I definitely knew that I wanted Bella to find out this way, by accidentally setting something on fire...So Bella ;) LOL. I suppose that's why my Edward just couldn't express that concern.
You are so right...Most of the secrets just need to come out. That's why Chapter 18 is going to take me for freaking ever. I want to get this right. I say most because, well, we still have a hypnosis session with Irina to go through and I want it to be INTENSE, if you get my meaning. So not EVERYTHING is going to be mentioned right away. Bella needs to get through a few things. Besides...I like torturing everyone :D LOL.
Wow. Okay, so a checkmark goes in the box for "Do you have a scary power that freaks out even vampires?". The first thing that popped into my head is that line from the book by Edward that says something about him thinking Bella was his own personal demon come to torment him? Is that what she is? But more than just that, I think. Anyway, it's just incredibly intriguing. I am so glad to have the secrets out in the open though. Well, for the most part they're out. This is probably not appropriate but I can't help but be just a little tickled at how utterly wigged out the Cullens are with Bella's powers. Stupid of me, I know. Thanks so much for the super awesome long update!Author's Response:
HAHA...Yeah, the prize goes to Bella for the scary powers! :D hehe. Nice that you remembered that quote! I, of course, will confirm nothing ;) lol. I know you want to wait, right? :D lol. There is so much more to Bella, for sure, because...well, she's BELLA! :D lol. There's always more :D lol
I was happy to get those secrets out of the bag because it was killing me. There are so many more things that need to be revealed, though :D lol. Bella's part is coming up, though. I couldn't drag it out anymore because of the way Chapter 19 is going to have to end.
OMG...I'm so glad you like the wigged-outness of it all!!! :D lol. I had to make the Cullen's this way...too fun! :D lol So I'm so with you on that :D hehe
Thank YOU for reviewing!!
Well that was unexpected. But I rather like it, myself. Edward is the one always laying down the law, and it's rather refreshing to see Bella take a stand against it. Although it appears there's a dual purpose for it. To break ties with the Cullens before something happens? It would make sense. Rather like Edward and hsi whole lie in New Moon to protect Bella, this looks like her way of protecting THEM. Except this is sanctioned by Alice. I'm hoping this might teach Edward something in the meantime.
Yes, my Bella is definitely stronger...It was a must for me.
Bella is doing this for a multitude of reasons, one being because she IS scared for the Cullen's safety. Mostly it has to do with the fear of losing Edward, and perhaps herself. Just remember...she believes in Alice and what Alice sees, even if she can't see it herself :)
Thank you!!!

Fairfax Charity Seeks Donations for Back to School Program
Contact: Lisa Whetzel
FAIRFAX, VA (June 27, 2012) – Fairfax-based charity Our Daily Bread (ODB) is seeking donations from the community to provide school supplies to needy children who attend school in the Fairfax County area as part of its Collect for Kids Back to School Program.
For the second year, ODB is collaborating with Kids R First, Fairfax County, Fairfax County Public Schools and other area non-profit agencies to purchase high quality school supplies at a deeply discounted rate through a partnership with the Collect for Kids program. The program will allow ODB to provide all the supplies a student needs for approximately $10 per student, where it can traditionally cost approximately $40 per child.
ODB's goal is to provide supplies for 700 qualified needy children who attend schools in the Fairfax High School and J.E.B. Stuart High School pyramids. In 2011, ODB assisted 438 children in central Fairfax. ODB hopes to continue to expand the program in future years in hopes of ensuring that as many needy children as possible receive assistance.
Lisa Whetzel, Our Daily Bread's Executive Director, said, "Our Daily Bread is excited to partner with Kids R First and work with Fairfax County Public Schools and other local non-profits to better utilize community resources to ensure that we help as many children as possible. For many families in our area who are working hard but struggling to make ends meet, the prospect of finding the funds to purchase new supplies for their children each year can be stressful. We hope the community will respond generously to ensure that children whose families are in crisis are able to return to school this fall with the tools they need to succeed in the new school year."
In addition to financial contributions to purchase the supplies, ODB is seeking donations of new backpacks and scientific calculators (TI-30Xa, TI-83 or TI-84). ODB will accept donations from July 2 through August 10 at its offices at 4080 Chain Bridge Road, 2nd Floor, or at the following local businesses that are partnering with ODB:
- Apple Federal Credit Union: Fairfax (9701 Main Street) and Vienna (419A Maple Avenue East)
- Bertucci's Restaurants (Alexandria, Herndon, Springfield, and Tysons Corner locations only.)
- Valvoline Instant Oil Change (9885 Fairfax Blvd.)
- Virginia Heritage Bank (Fairfax Branch Only – 11166 Fairfax Blvd)
For more information, contact Becca Brummett or Jennifer Rose at 703-273-8829 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.ODBFairfax.org.
Our Daily Bread is a volunteer-based organization focused on easing the plight of low-income residents in the Fairfax County area of Virginia. ODB offers emergency financial assistance and food assistance to qualified residents of the Fairfax County area and operates school supply and Holiday assistance programs. It also provides a variety of Financial Literacy programs, including financial mentoring and free monthly budgeting classes and six-week Credit Smart courses.

Audio Angel is making her debut album! — by audioangel
I love music projects for so many reasons, and this Black Eyed Peas cover by Rashida Clendening (aka Audio Angel) is another to add to the list. It features some cellophane angel wings, a dude in a robins-egg-blue suit, and the lyric "My peeps keep backin'." I mean come on.
Rashida's been singing, emceeing, electro-stylin', and all that jazz for 15 years now. Finally she's making an album for herself (you go girl!). She's peppering backers with tunes, album art, singing lessons, etc., but on top of all that she's been sharing some wicked media-heavy updates that include song samples and this masterpiece above. Style.

About Episodes
Ulysses Dove's Episodes is a starkly passionate interpretation of the power struggles involved in human relationships. Set to a sparse, percussive score by Robert Ruggieri with the choreography contained along two diagonally-lit paths, private battles between the sexes play out for all to see onstage. Moments of tension, explosive confrontation, and unresolved longing are drawn out as duos partner with complete abandon.
Following the Company premiere of Episodes in 1989, The New York Times wrote, "the work is a visceral turn-on, testimony to Mr. Dove's incontrovertible gift for exciting the senses, for exploiting a physical and kinetic impact to its utmost."
Support for this production was provided, in part, by AT&T.
The original production of this work was made possible, in part, with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, and by a generous grant from The Harkness Foundation for Dance.
The late, beloved Ulysses Dove was a "choreographer with a bold new voice," whose works can be seen in the repertories of major dance companies such as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, The Culberg Ballet, Bayerische Statsoper and Ballet France de Nancy. A native of Columbia, South Carolina, Mr. Dove began studying modern dance and ballet with Carolyn Tate, Xenia Chilstowa, Jack Moore, Judith Dunn, Bertram Ross, Helen McGehee and Mary Hinkson. After receiving his bachelor's degree from Bennington College, Dove moved to New York City, where he studied with Maggie Black and Alfredo Corvino and performed with Jose Limón, Mary Anthony, Pearl Lang and Anna Sokolow. In 1970, he received a scholarship to the Merce Cunningham School, and later joined the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Shortly thereafter, he made his choreographic debut in 1979 with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. From 1980-83, Mr. Dove was the assistant director of Groupe Recherche Choreographique de l'Opera de Paris, where he taught company classes and choreographed.

African Judo Championships (Agadir, Morocco) : Maghreb reaffirms, but…
The African judo championships did not respect the tradition of the past years where the Maghreb, Algeria or Tunisia wins all at the end of the competition. This time around, Algeria came on top thanks to a strong ladies team.
With a total of 17 medals, Algeria stands at a high and efficient level. Meanwhile during the Agadir rendez -vous in the men's competition, Algeria was highly dominated. In the face of stiff competition from Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, Algerians could only content themselves with silver and bronze medals. Former champions like Abderahmane Benamadi (- 81Kg) or Amar Benikhlef (-90 kg) were sidelined from the continent's top brass. That is a strong warning. This means the competition is intensifying.
And the competition is not only at the North African level. Countries like Cameroon, Gabon, Senegal, South Africa or Libya have come to change the certainties. This means that the collective work done in the other regions have started yielding fruits even though the "fantastic four" from the North are still comfortable. But for the moment.
Analysis of the tournament
They are surprising (both in the men's and ladies' categories).
In the men's category, the greatest shock was recorded in the 100kg. In the heavy weight, it was thought Egypt's Islam El Shebaby was tipped favourite amongst the others. But that was not the case as Morocco's Malki El Mehdi over turned the mountains and defeated the Egyptian. Mistake or talent? That will be confirmed during the next competitions as well wait and see if the Moroccan will confirm his supremacy.
In the Ladies' category:
In a very open category, Tunisia's Ayari Hela seized her chance and won her first continental title.
Algeria's Tariket Ratiba made a remarkable progress. Only third in 2011, she recorded a first title to her name in the 57kg. Rania El Kilali ( – 78 kg) Zouak Rizlen ( -63kg) from Morocco are the ladies on the rise. The first put an end to the long reign of Tunisia's Nihel Chikhrouhou while the second confirmed her recent exploits in the world championships (Budapest, Varsovie).
To note are the brilliant performances of Mauritius' Anabelle Laprovidence (3rd) in the 78kg and Angola's Antonia Moreira, defeated at the finals by the untouchable Miled Houda.
The following men confirmed their positions; Jaballah Fayçal(Tun) and Attaf Safouane (Morocco): The Tunisian had put up strong performances during the different Grand Prix staged at the start of the year. His triumph in Agadir in the Open category, even in the absence of Islam El Shehaby, deserves some plaudits and consolidates his status as one of the athletes heading for London 2012.
Morocco's Attaf Safouane is in the same light. He produced a big hit by overcoming Algeria's Abderahmane Benamadi andEgypt's Mohamed Darwish. After faltering in Dakar in 2011 where he came third, he reclaims his place amongst the continent's elite. Finally, from nothing, Ivory Coast's Romeo Kone Kinapeya rose to the podium in the -90kg category. Third in 2010, he maintained the same position in 2012; same like Gideon Van Zyl, who was champion in 2011, the South African lost at the last minute in the final to Egypt's Hussein Hafiz in the -73kg category.
In the ladies' category:
Cameroon's Philomène Bata, 3rd in the -48kg , confirmed her regular spot in the top three. In 2010 and 2011, she finished second as well as Gabon's Sandrine Iloudou ( -48
kg) and Cote d'Ivoire's Dabonne Zouleiha Abzetta (-52kg) regularly ranked amongst the Top 5 Africans.
They Stumbled…
In the men's category:
Dieudonne Dossalem could not make it. It seems the second and third spots are meant for him. He once more finished second in Agadir, like he did in 2009, in Mauritius. But he performed better than 2010 (3rd in Yaoundé) and in 2011 (3rd in Dakar). It is worthy to mention that the Cameroonian is in the same rank like Algeria's Amar Benikhlef and Egypt's Hesham Mesbah, who are international heavy weights. His compatriot Frank Martial Moussima Ewane (-100 kg and Open) is in the same category.
In the ladies category:
Senegal's Hortance Diedhiou missed an opportunity to retain her title. The same could be said for Morocco's Fatima Zohra Ait Ali who was heavily tipped by her supporters to retain her title.
They dropped…
In the men's category:
South Africa's Patrick Trezise dropped from the top. Third in 2008, 2009, second in 2011, he failed this time to make the top three but the greatest fall can be attributed to Egypt's Islam El Shehaby. The heavyweight prince did not certainly notice the threat coming from El Mehdi Malki
In the ladies' category:
Nebie Severine: third in the – 63 kg. She was the main surprise in 2011 in Dakar after winning the title, the first in the history of Burkina Faso. However, the greatest fall can be attributed to Tunisia's Nihel Chikhrouhou. The 25 year old athlete was on a streak of four consecutive titles (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011) before letting go her title to the rising Moroccan Rania El Kilali.
They are untouchable…
Three athletes deserve this attribute, two ladies, Miled Houda and Soraya Haddad, and one man, Darwsih Ramadan. Miled Houdaa won her fourth African title (, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012). Winner of the Sofia Grand Prix, third at the World Championships in Rotterdam in 2009, the Tunisian is the Queen of the – 70kg category. Who doesn't know Algeria's Soraya Haddad? The El Kseur native has uncountable number of titles. Medalist at the World Championships, Olympic games, regularly featuring amongst the top athletes at Grand Slams; she is the reference point of African judo.
Her triumph in Agadir is but normal. Her exploits are similar to those of Egypt's Ramadan
Darwsih. He has won almost all major titles on the continent and is gradually making his way through the international ladder. His talent once more made the difference in Agadir.

Very disappointing experience with David. The car was returned with an empty tank and the fill up cost me 80 dollars. The car was smoked in and took a full detailing to get rid of. David promised to pay for the gas but it's been more than two weeks and I haven't received a payment yet. David has great reviews otherwise but my experience was very bad.

It was supper awesome to have David as a renter. He was an experienced Turo renter and communicated well during the process. Most importantly he took a good care of my car - put it in his own garage and filled it with the gas I asked for. He even washed my car! I can't ask for more. Thank you, David!

Please put the key back on the holder when you're done. I know it is silly that you can't lock the car without ending your trip but 1) The key should be on the holder for the next person 2) In my neighborhood, it is a very bad idea to leave the car key where someone can see it.

About CNHA
Westwater Canyon
Westwater Canyon is the first whitewater stretch of the Colorado River in Utah. It is an exceedingly popular trip due to the Canyon's relative proximity to metropolitan areas (Grand Junction is forty minutes away, Salt Lake City is a four-hour drive), its classic desert scenery, and several challenging rapids. Westwater Canyon includes class IV rapids and is therefore only recommended for experienced boaters. As with any remote river segment, Westwater can be a very humbling and dangerous place if not treated with proper respect and ability.
Due to heavy recreational demand and to protect the primitive nature of the Canyon, permits are required year-round for private and commercial use. Between April 1st and September 30th, private use is limited to five permits or 75 people (whichever occurs first) per day; commercial use is limited during this period to 75 passengers per day. From October 1st through March 31st, private use is limited to nine permits or 150 people per day. Commercial use generally does not take place during this time period. Cllick here for information on how to obtain a private Westwater permit.
The Moab Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management is responsible for the management of Westwater Canyon. A contact station and ranger residence are located at the put-in. Westwater River Rangers are present to conduct permit and equipment checks, provide information, and to patrol the Canyon. There is no trash service but there is drinking water available at the Ranger Station. Please do not depend upon this water source for your trip's water needs as the system isn't always operational. The closest services (i.e., gas, telephone) are in Mack, CO and Thompson Springs, UT, both of which are located along I-70.

Android App Tablet Review: Androidify
Androidify is a great just-for-fun app that will probably appeal to lots of tablet users.
The whole app is essentially a digital android doll that you can dress up to look like whatever. You choose it's skin color, hair styles, clothing, accessories, the whole shebang. You can even alter the height and width of the arms, legs, torso, and head separately to mimic specific body types. The options are vast, and you can probably recreate anyone so that they're at least recognizable.
Once you're done, you can upload and share the androidified person to any multitude of networks. This is a silly app that will likely not hold people's attention for very long, but it can serve as a nice diversion when needed.
Start androidifying your family now with Androidify on your Android tablet.

Additional Information
Paula Sowell has a Master's degree in applied sociology and for the
past 8 years she has worked in a research center where she has
progressed from a data entry clerk to a position of project manager for
an important long-term study undertaken by the center. Her immediate
supervisor, Sharon Trusdell, the director of the research center, is a
Ph.D. in sociology who oversees Paula's work. Her supervisor is
confident in Paula's ability to manage the project on a daily basis and
work with the technical experts who are responsible for research
design, instrumentation, and data analysis. However, on numerous
occasions, Paula and the center director have had serious disagreements
over the parameters of Paula's work. These conflicts are primarily due
to a "personality conflict" between Paula and her supervisor, rather
than a serious question about Paula's ability, although on numerous
occasions, the center director has threatened to "fire" Paula for
insignificant differences of opinion.
Becoming dissatisfied with the working environment, Paula decides to return to school to further her education and eventually work in a higher level position elsewhere. She applies to schools in January and knows by spring that she will be attending graduate school in the fall. Although Paula knows there is no one within the research center who can immediately take over her duties and that the project she manages will be at a critical stage for completing a final report, she doesn't feel she can inform the center director of her impending departure early on (i.e., in the spring). Paula realizes that if she informs the center director too early, her replacement might be hired and she could be without a job for a number of months before she begins school in the fall. Moreover, there could be a number of other negative repercussions because of their past history. Instead, she "gives notice" two weeks prior to her departure, which is what most jobs require.

Project ONIG
The Project ONIG investigation was initiated by the New York Office of the FBI in 1991 as a covert operation to expose the narcotics activities of Italian Organized Crime (IOC), specifically Sicilian Mafia members and associates, operating in North America. The investigation and initial prosecutions took six years to complete, culminating in a 1997 trial in Reggio Calabria, Italy, wherein FBI agents provided testimony and introduced evidence regarding multi-kilogram quantities of heroin sold in the U.S., with the proceeds of the sale enabling the purchase of large quantities of cocaine for shipment to Italy.
The seizure in Brooklyn, New York, on May 6, 1993, of a package containing three kilograms of cocaine which had been mailed by Project ONIG subjects and was destined for co-conspirators in Siderno, Italy, led to the initiation of a joint investigation with the Italian National Police (INP). The FBI determined that multi-kilogram quantities of heroin were being imported and distributed by IOC subjects.
As developed through investigation and revealed through trial testimony, links between Colombian organizations in New York, Colombian traffickers in Bogota, Colombia, and IOC associates in New York were exposed. The Colombian group supplied the Sicilian Mafia with multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine, as evidenced by the shipment of 167 kilograms of cocaine intended for shipment to Rome, Italy, which was seized by Colombian authorities in Bogota in November 1993. In July 1998, the court in Reggio Calabria, Italy, imposed lengthy sentences on more than 40 defendants as a result of Project ONIG.
The most significant aspect of this investigation was in the revealing of the depth of cooperation between IOC groups and other major organized crime groups. In addition to the cooperation with Colombian traffickers in Bogota, several IOC subjects were identified as closely associated with the Caruana-Cuntrera Organization (CCO) of the Sicilian Mafia, primarily based in Caracas, Venezuela. They were also found to be purchasing heroin from a Canadian cell of the Big Circle Boys, an Asian criminal enterprise with cells in several major cities around the world. Additionally, the members or associates of the CCO were also importing heroin into the United States for Kung Lok triad members in New York, who were in turn selling it to criminal groups in Detroit and Washington, DC.
In the United States, this investigation resulted in the convictions of seven Asian Organized Crime members and one associate of the CCO. Salvatore Nicolucci and Emanuele Ragusa, long associated with the CCO, are fugitives of this investigation for whom requests have been made under provisions of the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with Canada for extradition to the United States.

Google's other "Nexus" tablet is all set to get yet another lease on life. Participants of the Motorola Feedback Network just got the heads up of an imminent update that is going to be pushed to the still-popular Xoom Wifi tablet sometime today:
Google's other "Nexus" tablet is all set to get yet another lease on life. Participants of the Motorola Feedback Network just got the heads up of an imminent update that is going to be pushed to the still-popular Xoom Wifi tablet sometime today:
There's no question that Google's Nexus 7 tablet is a success. Google and ASUS have managed to create something extremely compelling for such a low price point. Typically, when I spend $199 on a device of this nature, I'm not expecting it to be a premium, high-end device. But the Nexus 7 has proven itself to be not only a serviceable tablet, but something that belies its budget price tag.
Since receiving my Nexus 7 at Google I/O this year, I have noticed a shift in my device use habits as the 7-incher has wedged itself right smack dab in the middle of my daily use patterns. How has adding a device to my daily routine changed how I interact with all my other devices? First, I should list out the devices I use on a daily basis. I currently have an HTC Evo 4G LTE phone, and a Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi 10.1-inch tablet. The use of these two devices in particular has been impacted by the Nexus 7. I also have a Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV set-top box, and a Nexus Q.
Hit the break to find out how the Nexus 7 has impacted my Android device usage.
For those of you XOOM Wi-Fi owners who decided to wait for the official 4.0.4 update to hit, you should be able to snag the update as week speak. The update has begun to officially roll out for ll devices and users are reporting a successful upgrade. If you still aren't seeing the update notification you can check under Settings > About Tablet > System Update. From there you should see an available update and force the download. After updating you can expect the following:
Looks to be a nice little update so if you have yet to update what are you waiting for! Let us know in the comments what you think of the improvements!
UK retailer Dixons has slashed the price of their Motorola XOOM WiFi version down to £329 ($530 U.S.). That's a big discount considering the device started at £499 and is now lower than the £399 it was at a few short weeks ago. Dixons has made a similar discount on the XOOM 3G version now available for £399 ($643 U.S.). If you can't wait, this might be a good time to buy. It's no mystery that the XOOM has had a hard time making it's mark, but perhaps more price cuts will help. There is sure to be more deals right around the corner as retailers clear stock and get ready for the holidays.

2005 Kelly Tires Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament - Championship
2005 Kelly Tires Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament - Championship
Memphis freshman guard Darius Washington Jr. went to the free throw line with no time left in the game and the Tigers down by two, but he only hit one of three free throws as top-seeded Louisville escaped with a 75-74 victory over No. 7 Memphis in the Kelly Tires Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament championship game at the FedexForum. The Cardinals broke a championship game record with 15 three pointers (15-for-23), which also tied the record for most three pointers in any C-USA Tournament game. Francisco Garcia was 5-for-8 from behind the arc to tie a championship game record for three-pointers in a game and finished with a team-high 19 points. Juan Palacios registered a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Washington led Memphis with 23 points, while Anthony Rice matched his career high with 20 points. Louisville's Taquan Dean was named tournament MVP. The Cardinals win their second C-USA Tournament and earn the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Charges Union Executive with Extortion and Illegal Labor Payments
|U.S. Attorney's Office February 25, 2010
PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, MARJORIE FRANZMAN, the Special Agent-in-Charge for the New York Regional Office of the United States Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General ("DOLOIG"), and RALPH GERCHAK, District Director of the New York Office of the Department of Labor, Office of Labor-Management Standards, announced that WARREN JOSEPH ANNUNZIATA, an executive of Local 91 of the United Craft and Industrial Workers' Union ("Local 91"), was arrested today on an Indictment charging him with extortion and receiving unlawful labor payments in violation of the Taft-Hartley Act, which prohibits payments from regulated industries to union officials. ANNUNZIATA, 75, of Roslyn Heights, New York was arrested this morning at his residence by DOL agents. He is expected to be arraigned on the Indictment this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge THEODORE H. KATZ in Manhattan federal court.
According to the Indictment unsealed today:
Local 91 is a union that represents approximately 2,000 individuals, including bus drivers and bus escorts who work for companies that contract with the New York City Department of Education to provide students with school bus transportation to public schools throughout New York City. ANNUNZIATA was previously the President and Executive Director of Local 91, and is currently the union's Pension Fund Administrator, in which capacity he oversees pension and benefit funds holding over $85 million in assets.
From approximately 1992 through 2009, ANNUNZIATA used his position as a high-ranking Local 91 official to solicit and collect cash payments totaling over $500,000 from various bus company owners whose employees were members of Local 91. If convicted of the two counts alleged in the Indictment, ANNUNZIATA faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on the extortion charge and a maximum of five years in prison on the unlawful labor payments charge. Each count also carries a maximum fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.
The case has been assigned to United States District Judge COLEEN McMAHON.
Mr. BHARARA praised the work of the DOL in the investigation of this case. He also thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its role. Mr. BHARARA said that the investigation is continuing.
This case is being handled by the Office's Organized Crime Unit. Assistant United States Attorney ELIE HONIG is in charge of the prosecution.
The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
