Just mentioning.

Yesterday I received a letter from the Department of Labor & Economic Growth in regard to me filing for unemployment. (Let me flash back a few months..... I received a letter from DLEG saying I may qualify for for an extension of Unemployment benefits due to being underemployed. My current job at the hospital is contingent, meaning I get what I get. No set amount of hours until a part-time position opens for me. I filled out the form and sent it back. I had been approved for 24 weeks of benefits. It stated that even though I was working I might still qualify for partial benefits. If I made less than 1 1/2 times my approved weekly amount. I read that I should call MARVN even if I did not wish to claim a specific week. I would not loose that week but my weeks would roll over sort of speak. I called MARVN on my scheduled day and as I had already figured that I made to much for the weeks I was calling in for. I followed the prompts and when asked if I wanted to claim the weeks I called about I declined to claim them as I was instructed in the benefits booklet because I had made to much and I did not want to waste the weeks. I forget his exact response but he said I did not qualify and that I would have to reapply, good-bye. One thing MARVN makes clear is that if he don't say good-bye your call was not registered. Meaning no cliam is open so I will get bupkis, so I says to myself, well I don't really see myself qualifying for any benefits so I won't bother to apply because even though I don't make much I will make to much to get anything.
Back to the present. The newest letter says I falsified information by stating that I was laid off from a particular job and not that I had quit. Well I completely forgot about that one job and never put any info down because I was there for like a month and it just didn't register in my head. I need to reply to the letter and explain what I did, but how do I explain what I didn't do that they said I did do, and I never got anything in the first place? And my possible penalty: Discontinuation of benefits and/or paying back 2 times the amount of payment.
I do not receive any benefits and I'm not sending them a payment of $0.00 since that what 2 times 0 is.

Let's see how this works? The Pistons needed an aggressive scorer. Chauncey's time was up here he hit his peak and we needed more, they did resign Rip. Looks like the Pistons are going to have a lot of money to work with.

Ripped from an ESPN article - Those who have been observing the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks, among others, maneuver to create salary-cap space already have heard about "the Summer of LeBron." That's 2010, the year that LeBron James can opt out of his contract with the Cavs.
But the off season of 2010 is not just the Summer of LeBron: It's also the Summer of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Redd, each of whom can become an unrestricted free agent in 2010.
And in 2009, the list is illustrious, too: Kobe Bryant, Carlos Boozer, Allen Iverson, Ron Artest, Richard Hamilton, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Andre Miller, Lamar Odom and Rasheed Wallace can become unrestricted free agents next year.
