Dont ask about what happend to hawaii and Washington..I failed
The training building has 11 floors the 1st is for training and the others are the tribute's drooms
Careers: Arkansas, Kansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georiga,
Alliance 1 : Califorinia, North Dakota, South Dakota
Alliance 2 : Washington, Flordia
Pre Training
Stupid Make up'. I think the tribute parade is over, that's the bright side for now. All 50 of us walk down a long hall where there are 13 elevetors, 1 peacekeeper is to my left. I look around and i see Rhode Island her costume is a small area with water all around it. Rhode Island's a Island? Funny.
Rhode Island's makeup is smearing,she's crying I look around more and see at least 5 peolpe crying, i'm not crying for some reason I just don't feel sad. I walk into the 5th elevator theres 3 other peolpe in there, The crying Rhode Island, Montana, who is dressed in sexy a red cow boy out fit,she must feel awkward, then theres Vermont. I'm not going to lie, he's pretty hot but the look in his eyes tell me to stay away, and so I will. Then the elevator beeps and Montana is pushed out of the Elevator at first she looks shocked but before the Elevator's close a tear begins to form.
Ow! I scream as peackeepers push me out of an Elevator Rude, Much. I mutter and stand up another elevator opens and Delawear is pushed out of the elevator, he stands up and looks at me. Our eye's lock for 3 seconds but I walk into the hall theres 10 doors all have names on them. Theres Kentucky, then theres Delawear, then Me! Iowa, I open it up and see the most beautiful place ever.
Wow. i gasp my bed is at least 7 feet long and like 5 feet wide with over 10 pillows and my own personal shower!. I look around some more and see a window I pull open the window and look out ''Oh my god. I scream theres at least 1000 peolpe out there. I shut the window, it's way to loud for me. I turn around and hear a noise, a girl crying her footsteps pound with anger and fear. I wonder who it is I wanna go home! she screams, I cover my ears so I don't need to hear her. Turns out her bed is the room beside mine, Crap. I mutter my perfect room is ruined with the sound of crying. My life will never be perfect, Huh.
Training Day 1
Aww,I say My wonderful bed.When suddenly my door opens wide scaring me half to death Morning!. My Escort says. Her face is hidden by 5 inchs of makeup, Oh god.. i mutter under my breath
What? she says
Nothing... I say
Now honey get up, get up! I weakly get up and yawn, Suddenly the Escort tells me to get into the shower. I stare at the shower and shake my head I hate showers. Fine! snorts my stupid Escort rolling her eyes come, come. she says and i follow her out of the room. I turn to see Maine eating egg's and toast i take a seat beside her. She looks at me and says.
Hi. I look at her about, 4 seconds later i shyly say back What's Up?
Well, she says I'm in the State games and I'm going to verus 49 other peolpe I'm not sure why but I giggle a little. What? says Maine, Nothing, i reply But I'm also in the state games! she laughs and says see you around Indiana and walks away. Towards the elevator
I can't believe it Someone kinda likes me!
Beep! says the Elevator and the door opens and out I come out I see 7 other peolpe I don't know what state's but I saw one in the tribute parade, Maryland. Then i see a girl i think she's from California I turn around and 20 peolpe get out of the elevators! wow I say. I walk over to the spear section and the Next time I turn around 49 of us are all here it's huge. lots of sections lots of-
The elevator beeps and someone walks out and all 24 boys inculding me stop and stare, out steps Hawaii her blonde hair goes past her shoulders. It was like she was walking in slow motion, In other words she was the hottest girl ever. Now all the girls where staring most in Envy others just becuase everyone one else was.
She stared at us and when to the spear section beside me her lips only meters away, aww. her lips I could already taste them. She threw the spear and it hit the bulls eye. To my suprise at least 20 of the guys clapped and whistled. She flipped her hair backwards to show off and gave a half smile 3 mintues later we all went back to throwing spears and other stuff.
Hmmm I look around there's lots of stuff even a Blow Gun station I see the A throwing knife station 5 peolpe are there by the names of Washington, Massaschusette, Minnisota, Louisiana, and Arkansas they where all really good. I look over my right and saw Hawaii with Kansas then Louisana and Arkansas walked over to her. They shook hands and got down to buisness.
These where this year's careers
Lunch Time! rung a bell and I looked at the Careers talking really loud and laughing I find a table and walk over to it. Beside me sits Oregon, then Arizona, and about 6 other states. I eat salad I'm eating when a sandwich hits my head and explodes on the side of my face. I turn to see Hawaii laughing You look so funny yells Kansas Oh - No I think, tears are begining to fall on my face. I run away to the bathrooms to hide.
We all walk back are head trainer, Nautia wants to talk to us. We all sit around while she talks to us In 13 - 17 days 49 of you will be dead 1 will not I look around Hawaii...all the guys are staring at her, I'm not sure why but I envy her so much!. Then there was California, beatuiful black hair and peach skin.
Then there was me I cared about this a lot, Hawaii's hair was blonder than mine. Her skin is more tanned than mine- I need to stop who care's about Hawaii she's a career and she's looking at me.. I stand there our eyes are locked. She's Glaring I quickly look towards the bow & arrow section instead.
After Nautia stops talking I go over to the bow and arrow section i'm not good or anything...but i'll do it anyways. The shoot the first arrow... it hits about 40 inchs away from the bullseye, Ouch. I say That's not very good then I shoot again.. it hits about 30 to 35 inchs away! i'm getting better! I think. And take the bow and shoot the arrow goes flying the other way and hits a metal bar. Duck! screams someone.
I turn around in shock and see the arrow slide right into Kansas's foot. Oh My God! screams Kansas in pain You Stupid Idiot!. screams Hawaii. Wow, that was nice of her. Kansas is bleeding, Nautia quickly rushes over and says I'll get Kansas TRAINING..is over for today! and then peacekeepers broke though the doors and took Kansas away. As i walk towards the elevator looks of hate go my way I go on an Elevator fake crying then when i get to floor 8 i run into my room and grin, I nearly killed a Career. Yes!
Training Day 2
"we need a new member." I say
"like...a new career?" whispers Kansas I look down at her foot it's all in bandages. "yes." i say. we look around theres some good peolpe there's Pennsylvaina, Then there's...Bingo. Georgia is amazing he holds a mace in his hand and slashes a dummy into little bits.
"Ark?" says Hawaii
"yea.." i say
"Who are you looking at?." says Hawaii and Lousiana
"Georgia." i say "i think he should be a career"
"Okay," says Hawaii and Lousiana and Kansas. There all girls so it's good that there can be 3 girls and 2 guys maybe there will be 3 guys but we don't want to look like we let anyone join us. So Kansas walks up to him and asks whispers to him "Hey, i was wondering if you wanted to be a career? this is a one time question" He said okay and walked over to the rest of us.
And just like that the careers got more dangrous.
I throw my spear it almost hits the bullseye
"yes!." i say way to loud North dakota goes beside me and throws.
"wasn't it crazy yesterday when Ohio nearly killed Kansas?" she whispers
"Yea." i say
"I hear kansas is a career" say says whispering again. I stop and turn around to see 5 careers Lousiana, Kansas, Hawaii, and Arkansas, and Georiga. Then an idea pops into my head, no one else are allies and I need allies!.
"North Dakota?" I say
"yes?" she replys
"um..want to be allies?" for a moment theres slience then she grins
"Good!" I say really loud it was almost a scream... we shake hands and go over to the bow and arrow section.
"Dammit!" i threw my sword only to get Close! to the bullseye to me close is not enough it is never enough I get up and walk towards the careers but instead pass them i'll save my anger for later. Later as in the games when i begin ripping throats out and stabbing as many peolpe as i can get becuase I don't care who i kill this is how i'll win.
Texas throws a axe and misses.
Wiscoinsion shoots with a blow gun and does horrible.
so many peolpe but very few mean any threat to me.
New York
Apperntly, we only have 2 days of training which means we have private training now we all stand up and get into a lined and begin walking down a hall it was a little scary. Then we where in a dark hall when we all had to stand behind a glass wall away from everyone else but there was 3 peace keepers with us. I looked down at the cracked ground. Before i knew it i was next to go up i stood up and walked in.

Before The Games
were eating lunch and theres a countdown on the wall the games start in 1 hour and two mintues now one mintue.
Then the scores pop up Arkansas coems first it reachs 20 were the scores are 7/12 and my name is still not there. then it's a 30 by now all the good states are in. over 30 it keeps going then when it hits 5/12 im the first name. "Ugh!" i think i turn to see alliences South dakota walks over to North Dakota and California. Then the scores hit the 40's and the careers start laughing at these bad scores 4/12 and then last three did really bad. one layed on the ground. At least i got a 5 i think not a 2 and im in the middle 35th not making me a target like the first 10 or last 10. The worst career, Kansas came 7th and she looked so mad it was scary. then the countdown came back on the television 50 mintues left.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
26 Mintues left. "All 50 states stand up please" says a voice we all stop eating and stand up. suddenly and wall breaks open!! a couple peolpe scream and over 30 peace keepers come out. They begin taking us im grabbed i try to struggle but it's no use
"Let me go!" i scream we are all grabbed and put into a room it looks like a cut off airport gate. Theres 2 hovercrafts that will be bording in 10 mintues. The games start in 24 mintues so the arena is 11 or 12 mintues away. Theres two washrooms and a lot of chairs I sit down when flordia sits beside me. she looks at me and says.
"Don't go in the girls washroom, I swear to god a Junkyard is cleaner that that place"
I laugh a little "Wasn't thinking about it" I said
"Good" she whispers I look around when she whispers again.
"Don't the Careers look full of it"
"Yeah, Isn't that there job" i say
"I guess....Hey, do you want to be allies i mean i sorta feel like having an allie" She said the words i hoped for!
"Sure!" I say
We shake hands and then we hear the words "Now Bording!" we both go into the hovercraft god knows what will await us.
The Games
Day 1 : Blood & Tears
West Virginia
The tubes come above ground theres cornucpia and a huge screen the timer starts "60..59...58..57..56..55..54" I look around beside me is New Hampshire and Utah both looking fit. "48..47...46...45..44" I had the right to be scared.
I was scared i look at the careers there grinning ready to kill, Hawaii the freakin hottest thing ever looking at her makes time stop. Time maybe stopping but the countdown surely wasn't "37...36...35...34....33" about 20 states take the places getting ready. No one has jumped off there plate maybe i should it would be a lot quicker and a nicer death.... "20...19...18..." everyone is ready now Theres a red backpack near me but Utah might try to get it also. "13...12....11....10" Oh no final 10 I maybe i should take part in blood bath!

A good 40 of us run to Cornucpia Arkansas grabs a back back when Kentucky grabs it they wrestle for it when Arkansas picks up a knife from the ground. He then begins stabbing Kentucky wildly the knife then hits Kentucky's heart.
I run into Delawear a really hot guy but this isnt the hot games this is the state games i punch him in the face he falls to the ground. He punchs me and grabs for a spear I grab an axe and strike it right into his temple.
"Yes!" i say my first kill, it felt good. Michigan the dumbest person on earth runs right into Cornucpia he comes out with Vermont grabbing his neck and stabbing him in the back Then Michigan falls on the ground and bleeds it out.
It's only been 40 secounds and peolpe are totally dieing.
I've killed 1 person I grab my bloody Knife and choose tributes to kill Massachusettes stands on her plate in fear, I don't like fear. I dont know why i do it but i grab her and being chocking her. She doesn't struggle but makes noises i see her face slightly go purple and she lets out a dry scream. the scream slowly fades away She punches me then then her hand goes on the grass.
When i move my hand away i can see my hand marks on her neck. I go back to cornucpia.
My plan is set do they really think i'm going to be allies with them, Idoits speaking of Idiots ill start with the stupidest one, Kansas. She's fighting with Wisconsin almost about to kill her when I turn her over and stab her in the heart the look on her face is shock.
looks like Lousiana, Arkansas, and Georgia are to busy to see that I feel a little nice so i let Wisconsin go she runs away. Maine was about to leave cornucpia when Vermont grabbed her by the neck and stabbed her in the back of the leg, She fell on the ground he then stabbed her in the back. Lousiana is fighting with New york Georgia is getting supplies and Arkansas is running around with a blood knife.
I turn around and see Maine dead her body floats away New york is quickly dies when Lousiana drives her sword into his mouth.
I grab a yellow pack and turn to see West Virginia is about to kill washington when Flordia come's behind him and grabs his head and smahes it into the ground he still holds Washington by the neck. I and grabbed and thrown into the ground by texas.
"Hello!" she says
"Hi" i say
"Allies.?" she says
"Not with you ugly hag" i snort
By my suprise her knife digs into my leg i grab her neck and attempt to snap it but i can't because my leg is in so much pain! She stabs me again
"Yea, im the ugly one" she says and walks away my blood pours out before i can replace it i shouldnt have said that i guess. Then the darkness takes me away.
Flordia is fighting with West Virginia when Missouri jumps on me her knife almost digs into my flesh but i turn the last secound Flordia is still fighting with him when she grabs the knife and slits his throat.
Missouri sees this and runs away when she is running i grab my bow & arrow and shoot it hits her in the back of the head. she falls on the ground.
My first kill didnt feel very nice.
Most peolpe have left only a couple are dead this was a bad bloodbath, Mississipi ran right into Pennslyvania she stabs him deep in the neck.
Oregon runs and and Vermont is able to grab him and throw him onto the ground Oregon struggles but after 4 stabs he gives up.
Vermont, Pennslylvainia, and all of the carrers are here.
Hawaii walks up to me and says "Look Georgia come look!" we walk over Louisana and Arkansas are already there Kansas is dead her body lays there all cut up.
"Who did this!" Cries Hawaii
"Who Knows..maybe vermont" says Louisana
"Yeah." i say Vermont killed like 3 peolpe
"Okay..." says Louisana "Lets go south"
"No," replys Hawaii "I want to go North"
"Shut up Hawaii south is way better" she says
"What did you just tell me to do" she yells grabbing her knife
Suddenly Hawaii hits Louisana in the back and she falls to the ground "What the heck!" yells Arkansas and then Hawaii stabs her in the back. "Louisana!" yells Arkansas and Hawaii grabs her knife and implants it into Arkansas's Shoulder and stabs him again the the Chest. Then she delievers Lousiana i final blow in the back of the head.
I step back and begin to run away. Then i hear
"Hawaii.. you stuck up little bi-" Then there was a scream and the slashing noise of blood then Silence
I keep running Hawaii throws a knife at me but misses i run into the forest away from her, I can't Believe what just happend. hawaii must have killed Kansas also and shes after me.
I walk deep into the forest with my bloody knife I killed 3 peolpe and i felt happy about that. i'm walking when i notice im sinking..IM IN QUICK SAND i panic and thrash around the sand goes up to my waist..then my chest!.
"Help!" i scream and try to grab a stick the sand gets up to my neck. I begin to break down and cry when it goes into my mouth i can't breath I go under. It's all black and i feel like im drowning. I struggle i can't move my hands. Finally i run out of Air.
Day 2: you can run but you cant hide...
I New Hampshire carefully, he doesn't even notice me. I'm in thw abandoned town there is about 10 other states here but its a big town. Some of the buildings are really worn down. New Hampshire keeps looking around thinking about which house to go into. Suddenly he turns and are eyes lock right away!.
"Hey!" he screams and takes out his bow & arrow. I run into a rally abandoned house he runs in after me when suddenly the roof begins to fall. "Open the door!" I scream.
"I can't, It's Jammed!" he yells then a brick falls on his head and he drops.
"New Hampshire!?!" I yell and run over to him, That's when a brick falls on me.
We walk into the forest
"Flordia?" said Washington
"Yes" i reply
"I think i hear something!" he screams I turn around and there stand California, South Dakota, and North Dakota. California rams into me and i scream and fall backwards hitting the ground. South Dakota and North Dakota hit Washington with a sword.
"No!" i scream
Then Washington is stabbed twice.
I punch California twice in the face and run at North Dakota who pushes South Dakota the last secound so instead my Sword digs into his thiegh. He falls to the ground in pain i begin kicking her this girl power alliance is going to come to and end right now.
I turn around to see Washingtons body stabbed about seven times north Dakota keeps stabbing.
"YOU IDIOT!" i scream and run at her with my sword she screams and I stab her. When California grabs me and runs im being dragged when we hit a river she throws me onto the ground beside it and runs away.
Now he's dead, and I never told him that I loved him.
North Carolina
Hawaii is so hot, and getting her to make out with me was pretty easy.
"Your so hot" i say
"you to" she replys in a deeper voice.
Then we start kissing again my hands are about to go to her waist. When suddenly Im pushed onto the ground and stabbed twice then she kicks me in the face.
"Your so Foolish" she sneers and kicks me again and again. I start crying "why was i so stupid" i think
she leans down and puts her hand though my hair.
"Aww, your crying" she says "Do you want me to get you a crib also"
Oh how i wish someone kills her. Then before i'm able to say anything else im stabbed again.
New Hampshire
These idiots don't know to play this game right, I walk into Cornucpia Alabama and Iowa sitting there enjoying themselves 'till they see me.
"Hey!" Lowa screams and grabs a sword and runs towards me.
I felt trapped I has no where to go well behind me there was the forest but i didnt want to go running like a little wimp, so I attack and ramp into Alabama I hear a scream and Iowa runs off.
Alabama has a stabbing wound and is shaking on the ground until i stab him again.
My first kill woo! this is becoming a little fun.
North Dakota is in serious pain South Dakota also, North Dakota is clearly infected he's sleeping.
South Dakota walks over to to south dakota and puts there hand over North Dakota's heart.
"It's slowing" says South Dakota
"there nothing left we can do" I whisper and tear up
"He's dieing?" whispers South Dakota and i nod
I cry and walk over towards the edge of are camp South Dakota pats my back and whipsers in my ear a pretty scary thing.
"At least it's not you."
I took that as a theart for some reaso-
Tears began to fall faster.
Day 3: Tick..Tock..
I clutch low in the forest and hear footsteps, with the state flag on there back i knew it ws Idhao he was a small figure looked about 15 but only going over 5 feet. He clutch low taking out a knife, and began climbing up a tree way way up....I got out of the bush... Ony to hear a scream it was bloody and then a cannon went off.
Idaho fell from the tree landing on the ground, I crawled over to his body, a small tear dropped on my face. I never wanted to see this happen have random peolpe killings other random peolpe. I had to stop this game.
I run though the forest, she's after me. Hawaii was goin to make sure my heart was not beating by the time these games end. She could be anywhere, I look around. No one seems to be here so I choose to go down to the lake and get some water... Ugh i'm so tired and hungry, no sponsers yet. Suddenly I hear a movement and a huge explosion.
I see a girl's body going flying into the hair and she lands on the ground about 60 feet away from me, I begin runing over to her but I'm so tired and worn out, I choose not to... she's dead so it doesn't matter. I'm walking to the lake when I began hearing a moan, coming from the girl? I walk towards her body, she was alive. Burnt with scars on her body. I lean down and take out my firs aid kit and wrap some cloth around her cut in her leg.
"What's your name" I ask
She smiles "My names Hannah, I'm from the state of Montana"

Dunleavy a No. 1 talent
By Malcolm Moran, USA TODAY
The shorts were the first thing Paul Hewitt noticed about
the skinny 10th-grader-to-be. At a basketball camp at Robert Morris College
in Pennsylvania, Hewitt, then an assistant coach at Villanova, noticed the kid's
shorts said "Jesuit High School" and thought he had to learn about the kid.
Hewitt did not yet know that the kid, Mike Dunleavy, had
NBA bloodlines.
"I remember I thought this kid is pretty skilled," said
Hewitt, now Georgia Tech's coach. "He could dribble the basketball, and he could
shoot it extremely well. But what he was, was very weak."
If there once was a reason to overlook Dunleavy's contribution,
despite his obvious talent, awareness and knowledge of the game, it has been
eliminated. His status in Wednesday night's NBA draft has increased almost dramatically
as his 6-foot-9, 230-pound frame.
The 6-7, 200-pound freshman with the long, skinny arms
that entered Duke in 1999 is expected to be chosen no lower than No. 3 behind
Yao Ming of China and Blue Devils teammate Jay Williams.
"Nobody could have predicted this three years ago," Duke
assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
Said Dunleavy: "When we came in as freshmen, and especially
after last year, I would never have imagined we'd both be talking about going
this high in the draft."
Hewitt said, "The jump he has made in the last two years,
I don't think anyone could have seen that. He deserves all of the credit, because
the jump he took was simply a matter of developing his body. With the strength,
you could see the skill."
Dunleavy and Williams arrived after the Duke program had
been shaken by the unexpected loss of three underclassmen Elton Brand,
William Avery and Corey Maggette to the 1999 draft. That group joined
then-senior Trajan Langdon to occupy an unprecedented four of the first 14 selections.
Three years later, on senior day at Cameron Indoor Stadium, juniors Williams
and Carlos Boozer were recognized during an emotional ceremony.
Led Duke with 21 points (18 in second
half) in 2001 NCAA championship game victory against Arizona. Was 5-for-9
from three-point range, three of which came in span of 45 seconds.
Last season was named first-team
All-American by National Association of Basketball Coaches and to second
team by Associated Press. Also named second-team Academic All-American.
One of two Atlantic Coast Conference
players ranked in top 10 in seven categories.
Scoring average in ACC games increased
from 9.3 points as freshman to 19.1 last season as junior. Shot 28.9%
from three-point range (11-for-38) in ACC games as freshman and 38.8%
(45-for-116) as junior.
Both already had determined they would depart. Williams
had taken a compressed academic schedule that would allow him to complete degree
requirements before the end of summer.
Dunleavy stood back with the underclassmen. Whenever he
had been asked, he spoke of a four-year college career. The serious possibility
of leaving, he said recently, had not yet entered his mind.
"Not at all," Dunleavy said when asked about the response
to Williams and Boozer on senior day. "I thought it will be great for me next
year when I do that. Looking back on it, maybe it would have been better if
I had gone through the same plan as them. But you shouldn't look back on things."
Starting the process
When Duke's season ended, Dunleavy's family ties to the
league, which had contributed so much to his understanding of the game, began
to create his departure from college. His father, Mike, a former NBA player
and coach, possesses the knowledge and trust that exceed that of any agent.
"It's almost like having an agent without losing my eligibility,"
Dunleavy said. "I know all these guys, and I can trust them."
So when the telephone began to ring, Dunleavy began to
"Once the season ended, you take a step back and look at
all things," he said. "And my dad received some calls from teams talking about
the prospects and how high I would go. So we decided to look into it, and we
thought it would be best to put my name in the draft, and everything else has
kind of rolled out from there."
Dunleavy has added 15 pounds since the end of the season.
He has the versatility to become a four-position player in the league and provide
a team with rare flexibility.
"For the next level, a 6-9, 230-pound small forward is
pretty big," he said. " I think most see me as a small forward. But I think
I can play shooting guard. I think I can play a little bit of point guard at
times. Maybe even later in my career I can play power forward."
Duke has had five top-three choices
in the history of the NBA draft, starting with Art Heyman, who went to
the New York Knicks with the No. 1 pick in 1963.
The Blue Devils never have had multiple
top-10 picks in the same draft. First-round selections developed under
coach Mike Krzyzewski (pick number in parentheses):
1986: Johnny Dawkins (10),
Mark Alarie (18).
1989: Danny Ferry (2).
1990: Alaa Abdelnaby (25).
1992: Christian Laettner (3).
1993: Bobby Hurley (7).
1994: Grant Hill (3).
1995: Cherokee Parks (12).
1998: Roshown McLeod (20).
1999: Elton Brand (1), Trajan
Langdon (11), Corey Maggette (13), William Avery (14).
2001: Shane Battier (6).
Just as important is a mind-set that has developed since
he was a child, following his father on plane trips and in dressing rooms. Throughout
his college career, even when he deferred to more experienced teammates, Dunleavy
appeared more comfortable with the process than many of his peers.
As speculation about Yao's availability raised the possibility
Dunleavy could become a No. 1 pick, he treated the questions matter-of-factly.
When asked about the possibility of playing for his father, Dunleavy's response
was frank.
"I think it would be a lot better later than sooner," he
said. "Early on, I think it would be a little awkward amongst other players,
amongst the organization.
"I'd prefer not to do it. But if something came up and
that's how it worked out, you can't do anything about it."
If the stress from his NBA decision ever became overwhelming,
the questioners did not see that.
"I reap the benefits and face the consequences," Dunleavy
Said Williams: "Everybody thinks he's smart. But until
you see the little things he does, a lot of people take them for granted. He's
really good. Mike is like an extension of his father. Being with Mike is kind
of like being with his dad."
When asked if he had interviewed with Jerry Krause of the
Chicago Bulls, Dunleavy remembered sitting next to him on a plane at age 10
or 11. All those years of observation helped build an understated confidence
that some rookies take years to possess.
"Who would you take with the No. 1 pick?" Dunleavy was
asked recently.
"Assuming Houston has it?" he replied and thought for a
"I'll be biased. I'll say myself."
Changing his mind
Dunleavy had been prepared to embrace the type of leadership
role that his friend Shane Battier took on during Duke's 2001 championship season.
When the decision-making process became more difficult than Dunleavy had anticipated,
he sat on an airplane and made a list of pros and cons.
"Reasons to stay, reasons to go," Dunleavy said. "They've
been in my head for weeks."
Financial concerns were not an issue.
"It's a dream of mine," he said. "It's a dream of any kid's
to play in the NBA. Certainly, you'll make a lot of money. There are some good
teams in the top five that will take me. They need my position, most of them.
The possibility of being able to play right away. Those are all very enticing.
As well as the fact that if I get started now, it's one more year in the NBA."
Duke could offer the type of leadership experience that
had made Battier and Grant Hill more complete. But the 2003 Devils will be significantly
younger than the 2001 team that Battier led to a championship, and there will
be no Williams to carry the team through decisive moments.
"It's pretty close to sure that I'll be top five this year,"
Dunleavy said. "But you never know next year. Most of them say it will be pretty
hard to improve my draft status with the guys coming out next year."
No looking back
The satisfaction and benefits of a leadership role were
going to come with a potential price. With Boozer and Williams gone, Dunleavy
could receive a level of attention from opponents that he had never experienced.
As the most important option on an inexperienced team with a high-profile class
of incoming freshmen, Dunleavy's numbers (17.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists,
2.3 steals) could have declined even as his overall play improved.
"I think Mike felt there were some risks involved coming
back to school," Wojciechowski said.
Three years after Duke's tumultuous, difficult spring of
'99, the third underclassman to depart this time was greeted with congratulations.
"Because Michael took such a long time and really thought
through the decision," Wojciechowski said, "once he came to the final decision,
he was at peace with it. We like to say everyone runs their own race. Things
in Michael's journey changed."
Now there is just a wait, an announcement, a walk to a
podium and a handshake with Commissioner David Stern. And everything that comes
"I won't look back," Dunleavy said. "Regardless of what
anyone says or anything (that) happens. What I've done is what I've done."

(CNSNews.com) - Venezuelans appeared to be returning to work and going about their business Monday now that President Hugo Chavez is back in power, two days after being forced out by the country's military.
He formally resumed his presidential powers Sunday in a televised ceremony at the presidential palace in Caracas. Chavez fell from power on Friday after military leaders blamed him for the deaths of at least 13 people in anti-government protests in Caracas.
He also announced the resignation of the board of directors that he appointed to the state-owned oil company, a move that sparked a national strike against the Chavez government last week.
The United States is Venezuela's third largest oil importer.
Chavez said in his brief exile, he was able to reflect on many things that were happening in the country. He pledged to make amends.
"I come disposed to make corrections where I have to make corrections," he said.
Many Venezuelans are concerned about a possible government crackdown against Chavez's opponents. But on Sunday, he said, "There will be no witch hunts, no persecution, no disrespect for free expression or thought."
The Bush administration responded to Chavez's return by urging him to reconsider his policies.
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice called for a national reconciliation.
"We do hope that Mr. Chavez takes advantage of this opportunity to right his own ship which has, quite frankly, been moving in the wrong direction for some time," Rice said on NBC's Meet The Press.
"I hope Hugo Chavez takes the message that his people sent him that his own policies are not working for the Venezuelan people," she added.
Cuba's Castro government hailed Chavez's reinstatement, saying it was "a revolutionary victory over a fascist and reactionary counter-revolutionary coup."
At least one Latin American analyst, Steve Johnson of the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, said the latest events are taking Venezuelans into "uncharted territory."
"What lies ahead is anyone's guess. Chavez has been a divider, not a healer. He typically hardens his resolve when confronted with opposition. It is not likely he will allow much room for open debate or dissent," said Johnson in a position paper.
Johnson said leaders of neighboring countries should be worried, especially since Chavez has allowed Colombian rebels to establish camps inside Venezuelan territory.
The United States is right to restrain its response for the time being, according to Johnson. However, he said the U.S. should "improve commercial relations with nations such as Brazil that Chavez had been courting as potential opponents of free trade," he said.
"Unless Chavez can be persuaded to mend his ways, Venezuela can anticipate more political turmoil, continued economic decline, and an out-migration of talent and capital," Johnson concluded.
However, Richard Bennett of AFI Research, a London-based defense and security think tank, believes that Chavez's return to power is a "major embarrassment" and a "potential threat" to the United States.
"Chavez has close links to Cuba, Iraq and a number of other states openly on Washington's 'hit list.' Even more importantly he controls the world's fourth largest oil reserve and could prove a valuable ally to Saddam Hussein," said Bennett.
"Just how far Chavez will feel able to go in openly challenging Washington is uncertain, and the possible reaction of the Venezuelan military and their United States supporters leaves this divided nation dangerously on the edge of outright civil war," Bennett concluded.
The Wall Street Journal, in a Monday editorial headlined "Castro's Man in Caracas," said last weekend's turmoil "is also a reminder of Latin America's dangerous deterioration."
"Most U.S. media haven't noticed, but half of that continent is in political or economic trouble, or both, following a decade of U.S. mistakes and neglect. Maybe the Chavez fiasco will alert American elites, especially Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) to stop indulging cold war grudges and start addressing current problems in the region," the Journal said.
Dodd is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs.

Lelouche's death
code geass
code geass
Lelouch became a beacon. A beacon to attract all the hatred in the world, so that when he finally shouldered every last piercing eye of resentment, he would drag it with him to the afterlife, away from his beloved Nunnally. A true man of honor, sacrificing himself for the world peace he promised his sister. May he rest in peace as he watches over Nunnally with his eyes of the true king.
I accept this Geass.

I am enamored with the Miami Dolphins' defense this year. It is talented, productive and deep. And the entire unit is going to benefit greatly from the front three.
Like with any odd front, we need to start with the nose tackle. He is rarely mentioned among the best anchors in the NFL, but Paul Soliai deserves to be. A taller version of guys like Vince Wilfork and Casey Hampton, Soliai is a huge man. And he knows how to use his extreme girth to occupy offensive linemen and hold the point of attack against the run.
He is exactly what you want at the position and the type of player who allows everyone around him to do their jobs more easily. Miami was wise to use its franchise tag on Soliai before free agency opened. He is someone the Dolphins could not afford to lose.
Ronald Fields was recently signed as a backup for Soliai. There would be a noticeable drop-off if Soliai were to miss time, but Fields is built for the position and does have starting experience. He is purely a run-stuffer, but the depth he provides is valuable.
Much like Soliai at the nose, Randy Starks is rarely mentioned when discussing the best 3-4 defensive ends in the league. He too deserves to be in that conversation. A power player who also has strong movement skills, Starks is a force against the run or pass. He has played some nose tackle in the past, but is much better suited at end. Starks is a Pro Bowl-caliber defensive lineman.
Kendall Langford will start at the other defensive end spot. He too had an exceptional 2010 campaign. Like the rest of this group, he is more or less the prototype at the position, but I see Langford as a little quicker and more athletic than Starks. He has slightly superior movement skills, but isn't quite the power player Starks can be. Langford is the real deal, and he might only be getting better.
Last year's first-round pick, Jared Odrick, also will be in the mix this season. Coming out of Penn State, Odrick looked ideal for this defense. He is well built with long arms and uses his hands to control his opponent very well for such a young player. Odrick is obviously quite talented, and with the wealth of options the Dolphins have up front, the team should be able to bring him along at his own pace instead of forcing him in when he isn't ready.
The Dolphins were smart to re-sign Tony McDaniel. Like the rest of this line, the re-signing went largely unnoticed, but McDaniel is hitting his prime. He is a tall defensive end with a great wing span. McDaniel played very well for Miami last season and is about as good of a depth defensive lineman as you will find in the league today.
The odd man out, especially after McDaniels' re-signing, could be Phillip Merling. As it stands today, the 26-year-old Merling probably will make the team, but injuries have plagued him and he might be a better fit as a more traditional base end in a 4-3 scheme. This is a pivotal year in Merling's career, but as you can see from the above descriptions, getting playing time might not come easy for this former second-round pick.
The Dolphins added Jason Taylor to spell Koa Misi and Cameron Wake, while also providing great leadership. As pass-rushers, these outside linebackers should benefit greatly from all the attention Miami's defensive line is sure to attract.
Behind this line, Miami added Kevin Burnett to start opposite Karlos Dansby at linebacker. Burnett replaces Channing Crowder and is a major upgrade in athleticism and versatility. Crowder is the better take-on linebacker, but Burnett is more like Dansby. Because of the exceptional defensive line in front of them, this is a great move, as it will allow these inside linebackers to get to the football more freely and will give the defense many more options on passing downs.
Burnett is also much better equipped to handle the variety of receiving threats that New England will throw at the Dolphins. Crowder simply isn't equipped to keep up with guys like Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and Danny Woodhead in coverage.
Miami's defensive line is what makes this all possible.

The Safe Routes to School National Partnership is pleased to announce that the National Policy & Legal Analysis Network to Prevent Childhood Obesity (NPLAN) is presenting a free webinar August 11, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. EDT on Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and liability for childhood obesity prevention policymakers and advocates. They have also just released new resources about liability.Despite the many benefits of SRTS, some schools have been reluctant to support SRTS programs due to concerns about being sued if an injury or problem arises. But such fears are largely unwarranted. By acting responsibly and understanding liability issues, schools, nonprofits and parent groups can help students reap the health and academic benefits of SRTS programs while minimizing any risks.In this webinar, participants will learn about the basics of liability in the context of SRTS and how school districts, nonprofit organizations and others can reduce their liability in SRTS programs. Presenters will put liability concerns in perspective, explain how SRTS programs can leave schools with a lower risk of liability than existed prior to the program and provide practical advice on best practices for implementing SRTS programs and policies. Robert Ping, state network director at the Safe Routes to School National Partnership, is one of the presenters and will discuss how liability fears can impinge on SRTS program success, and will feature best practices and case studies to show how communities from around the US have dealt with the issue successfully.

Officer death adds to frustration & anger of recent violence
A line of police cars cleared a path down the interstate for the ambulance rushing officer Perry Renn to the emergency room.
At Eskenazi hospital, dozens of officers arrived and waited. Their emotions at first were of support and hope then later, grief and anger.
Officials held a press conference at Eskenazi Hospital, discussing their frustration and anger.
Mayor Greg Ballard said, "There are a lot of sad people tonight. But I would also tell you emotion out there is anger... really tired of the things that have been happening out there."
Out there on the east side Renn and other officers were caught in a shoot-out with a man armed with an assault rifle.
Saturday morning police responded to seven people shot in Broad Ripple. IMPD Police Chief Rick Hite said officers provided first aid to victims as they hunted a suspect.
"That's the work we do as a police department. That is what you pay us to do. Tonight we are here because we lost one. He won't be able to apply a bandage or a tourniquet. He won't be at the next scene. The question becomes, 'What are you going to do about it?'"
It is not known whether the suspect, Major Davis, Jr., 25, was licensed to carry a gun. Authorities want stricter, mandatory minimum prison sentences for those illegally possessing guns and using them to commit crimes.
Public Safety Director Troy Riggs said, "We think that it is important. We think that would immediately drop our homicide rate. Let's remember, tonight a police officer was murdered."
Mayor Ballard clearly wants changes too.
"You think it is frustrating to me? How frustrating is it to the guys wearing the uniform? It's frustrating to them. It's terrible."
A veteran emergency room doctor so weary of treating the victims of violence - even he decided to speak out.

Dr. T.Z. Hayworth added, "When someone such as officer Renn loses his life – it hurts. "
It hurts a family, a police department, and a city.

In the wellness traditions of many cultures, a foot massage isn't just a feel-good piece of pampering at the end of a long day. It is widely believed to boost circulation, lift energy levels and dispel stress. Here's how to give one – or better still, guide someone to do it for you!
Step 1 > Select your cream of choice and apply
Start by using a softening cream on any skin that is thick and hard, particularly on the ball of your foot and heels. Scholl Hard Skin Softening Cream, which contains salicylic acid to help soften stubborn hard skin, is a good choice. For everyday dry skin, use a cream that can exfoliate and moisturize at the same time, like Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Cream.
Step 2 > Stroke the top of the foot
Using your thumbs, start at the tip of the toes and work your way back to the ankle using a steady, sweeping motion. Repeat a few times to stimulate circulation and warm the skin.
Step 3 > Rotate ankles
Cup the heel in one hand, and with the other hand, gently turn the foot slowly at the ankle a few times in either direction. The rotations will loosen the joints and relax the foot.
Step 4 > Tweak toes
One by one, take each toe between your thumb and index finger and gently pull it away from the foot, squeezing lightly as you go.
Step 5 > Rub inside the toes
Again, cup the heel in one hand, and with the other hand, slide your index finger down between the toes, applying pressure along the sides and at the base.
Step 6 > Massage the sole
Apply pressure to the sole of your foot with your thumbs, starting at the heel and using a walking motion to gently cross back and forth across the underside of the foot. When you reach directly beneath the ball of the foot, move your thumbs in semicircles, working back and forth horizontally.
Step 7 > Work the arches
Cup the foot with one hand, and using the heel of your other hand, push hard as you slide along the arch from the ball of the foot toward the heel and back again. This will release tension in the arch.
Step 8 > Final strokes
To complete the massage, lightly stroke both the top and bottom of the finished foot.
Step 9 > Repeat on the other foot!
Scholl Hard Skin Softening Cream
Specially designed for larger problem areas such as under the heel and ball of the foot, Scholl Hard Skin Softening Cream uses salicylic acid to reveal soft, supple, smooth skin.
Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Cream
Scholl Dry Skin Instant Recovery Cream is formulated to exfoliate dead, dry skin cells, allowing special moisture boosters to penetrate deep into the upper layers of the skin. The result is softer, smoother skin.

How our environment can shape us
In Europe, reproductive health problems in men such as poor semen quality, testicular cancer, and genital birth defects are common. These issues seem to be the result of maldevelopment and malfunction in the testes of the foetus, the so-called testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS), which evidence suggests may be caused by exposure to environmental chemicals.
