Tacoma Woman Charged With Stealing $50,000 in Benefits From State
Tumwater, WA (WorkersCompensation.com) - A 39-year-old Tacoma woman faces charges on five counts of theft for fraudulently collecting more than $50,000 in workers' compensation benefits from the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I).
According to the Washington State Attorney General's Office, Deana S. Cook filed workers' compensation claims for injuries that occurred in 2007 and 2009. The claims were allowed and Cook received the benefits based on her contention that she was unable to work due to the injuries.
A routine check of social security numbers between L&I and the Washington State Employment Security Department allegedly showed that Cook worked for two different employers during the time her L&I benefits were paid.
Cook faces three counts of first degree theft and two counts of second degree theft. She has entered not guilty pleas to all five charges.

Groupon Deal Costs Photographer a Year's Free Work 209
Andy Smith writes "One professional photographer in Somerset, UK, thought he was drumming up lots of extra business with a special deal on the Groupon group-buying site. Sadly he has ended up committing himself to nearly a year of unpaid work, plus he has to give out over 3,300 free prints." This analysis seems to be based only on the author's observations (rather than the photographer's experience), but the numbers are interesting. It can't work against everyone, though, or I bet there'd be fewer repeat advertisers on the daily-coupon sites.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Reportedly Skyrockets To 10 Million Units Shipped In Only 25 Days
If that's accurate, it means the Galaxy S5 is outpacing the previous generation Galaxy S4, which itself was (and remains) a highly popular handset in the Android space. It took the Galaxy S4 slightly longer -- 27 days -- to reach the same number of shipments. And in case you're wondering, the Galaxy S3 reached 10 million shipments after 50 days, versus the Galaxy S2 and S taking 5 months and 7 months, respectively, according to Hankyung.com.
At this pace, the Galaxy S5 could surpass total shipments of the Galaxy S4 (40 million) and Galaxy S3 (60 million). What's interesting about the report is it comes after there's speculation that the Galaxy S5 hadn't been selling up the expectations of Samsung, which apparently decided to replace the head of its mobile design team last week.
One of the few complaints we had when reviewing the Galaxy S5 was that the build quality remains slightly lower than its top competitors. However, that gripe didn't prevent us from giving it an Editor's Choice award based on its stellar feature-set.

Subject: | Jezebel and Isabel |
Author: | Magda (guest, 188.8.131.52) |
Date: | June 16, 2002 at 6:40:03 PM |
For some reason, I have been thinking lately that the name Jezebel (Hebrew), which means "wicked," is somehow related to Isabel and its many variants (Isobel, Isabelle, Isabella, Izabela). I looked these names up, and they mean "consecrated to God." Even, so, the names are so similar, I'm still wondering whether it would be possible that they have any connection at all. Any thoughts on this?Magda (from Magdalena, latinate form of Magdalene; variants: Madeleine, Maddalena)

Excellent 'Toon!
The "London Whale" is a too-big-to-sink creature which hit land in an adrift N.W.O. economy. This is something very common in N.W.O. countries where the "authorities" are only allowed to hook minnow$.
Good news! Empire-President Barack Obama announced JP Morgan is one of the N.W.O.'s best managed banks. Their CEOs & lapdog scholar/commentators are not being Judas-traitors to U.S. taxpayers, whose Greek-street moment is put on hold for awhile, and N.W.O. candidates Mitt & Barack fight-it out to make sure nothing changes

I would've put this in the gaming thread, but lets face facts... Nobody really ever goes on that thread. Name both your most and least favorite heroes/villains from the game, and how you'd like to see a fight between them end.
I haven't finished watching this 3 hour movie yet. But I will rePost it in the Junkie Movie Recommendations later!
Favorites: Sinestro, Green Lantern, Nightwing, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, The Joker, Deathstroke, Lobo Least Favorites: Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Killer Frost I cannot wait for the Killing Joke skin pack. This game is the s---.
There's a lot of tournament play for this game on a site called eventhubs.com Lots of info on tiers and new combo videos etc. I'm a big Street Fighter 4 tournament fan. Looking forward to EVO this year.
Just announced Joker's Red Hood as teh 3rd skin in the Killing Joke pack. They are really delivering with the DLC so far
Here is Final Confrontation Joker from the same DLC pack and in the Trailer for Batgirl's gameplay they show Joker in his tourist outfit when he shot Barbara Gordon in Killing Joke.
Heroes: Flash, Nightwing, Batman, Cyborg, Green Arrow, Superman, Raven, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Shazam (Captain Marvel) Green Lantern Villians: Joker, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Lex Luthor, Catwoman, Deathstroke, Ares, Killer Frost, Doomsday, Sinestro, Black Adam, Bane DLC characters: Lobo, Batgirl (still to be released)
They give you batman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luther in the demo I loved pissing my friend off with Lex by just grabbing him and slamming him over and over I like batmans version of 'get over here' (scorpions move from MK) Is there finishing moves?
I liked how you use the surroundings, I through Wonder Woman against a flying helicopter in a roof in Gotham
Here's my only problem with the game: They left Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Brainiac, and Atrocitus off the roster. Manhunter appears in the background graphics, but he's not on the roster. There's a whole gang of supers they left off the playable roster, and it bothers me.
Manhunter is a strong rumor for future DLC. Attrocitus appears in one of the S.T.A.R. Labs missions but they pretty much only need GL and Sinestro to represent that universe as far as playable characters go.
All I've heard in terms of DLC supers is Lobo, Batgirl, and I think 2 guys from the Mortal Kombat series? They definitely need to put in another strong female character or 2, and I think Zatanna, Carol Ferris, or Artemis/Tigress would be a good fit.

Something for Everyone
At a certain age, men move from dreaming up names for their rock band to dreaming up names for their bar. When founding owner George Dyer and his late partner James Vinson were looking to name what they hoped would become a classic, friendly, Irish neighborhood pub, they wanted a streak of the rebel in it.
Enter Randall Patrick McMurphy, embodied by Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Next." An Irish rebel with a heart of gold, choosing to live life to the fullest, loyal to friends, no matter how dreary the day has turned.
Fifteen years later, RP McMurphy's is just that. Irish Bar, check. Friendly, check. The place to be all year-round, check. Heart of gold. Neighborhood favorite. Loyal. Still tips its hat to the rebel. Check, check, check and check.
Located in the quaint Cincinnati neighborhood of Oakley, bordering Hyde Park, Madisonville and Pleasant Ridge, and recently expanded to include an all-season's patio with fire pits and plantings, RP McMurphy's is as welcoming to its regulars as it is for newcomers.
Whether it's a great group of regulars, new faces coming to experience the Wednesday night Mug Club, group of friends getting together for Happy Hour, a great venue for a private party, or music lovers coming to check out our live acts; RP McMurphy's has something for everyone.
"I've only been here once so far, but I loved just about everything about it — the live band was very good, the bartenders many and attentive, the drinks strong and reasonable priced, a huge outdoor area and beautiful inside decor. Not to mention a prime location in the Hyde Park and Oakley areas."
With a wide host of beers on tap and by the bottle and a wide selection of mixed drinks, RP McMurphy's bartenders will serve you right and make your traditional or crafty cocktail. Just don't call them "mixologist." It doesn't suit a rebel, does it?
Want to watch the game? We've got all of the best sports coverage including NFL Ticket, ESPN U, and more.
In the Community:
A rebel with a heart of gold. We like that.
That's why RP McMurphy's remains involved in the community through the City of Cincinnati "Adopt a Block" Program, participating in the Oakley Community Council, and hosting Community Council Events, such as The Great American Cleanup event. RP McMurphy's also is committed to giving back and hosts numerous fundraisers for causes ranging from The National Cancer Society, Save the Animals Foundation, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and helping out one of our locals in need. What Cause taps your heart of gold? If you have one and think RP's might help you make a difference, tell us about it.

PROVIDENCE – Occupy Providence told The Associated Press last week that it has reached an agreement with city officials over the opening of a temporary homeless day center that will bring an end to a standoff over the group's encampment of Burnside Park.
The protesters voted unanimously to dismantle their tents at Burnside Park as soon as a day center planned for Emmanuel House in South Providence opens.
In a statement, the group said the city would assist in "supporting the center" to cover staff for three months. Homeless advocates have estimated that it would cost about $10,000 a month to operate the day center, which would supplement existing shelter facilities.
The Emmanuel House, located in South Providence, is currently home to an emergency winter shelter run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence. In December, Occupy Providence narrowly approved a proposal to leave the park if the city opened a daytime facility to serve the homeless population
David Ortiz, a spokesman for Mayor Angel Taveras, didn't immediately respond to a request seeking comment. A diocese spokesman, Michael Guilfoyle, couldn't immediately be reached, the AP said.
Protesters have been encamped since Oct. 15 despite the city's demand that they leave. City officials threatened legal action, then went into mediation with the group instead. •

EVER READ TEXT THAT'S WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS? It's irritating, isn't it? Caps are great for emphasis here and there, but they're a bitch when abused. Welcome to Sweat Lodge Infinite by 2Mex, of Beat Junkie DJ Rhettmatic's Visionaries. If you were to listen to a snippet here and there, you might think it was a pretty decent hip-hop album. But while Longevity's beats are tight in spots ("Pavilions of Sound," "M.A.S.H."), and 2Mex's enunciated delivery is solid, loops repeating ad infinitum with a quasi-yelling emcee is quite tedious over the course of an album. And if one more joker uses that Billy Squier beat in the next five years, I'm heading for the nearest water tower, rifle in hand.

Fairness & Flawless Products
The tea tree oil reminds me of an oatmeal soap. The scent is reminiscent of goat's milk/oatmeal soap. It contains organic beads that helps in exfoliating dead skin. What I do not like about it is that it dried out my skin.
Coconut was 2nd on my list. Just like Raspberry this soap did not dry out my skin. This worked well on my problem areas like my elbows which would always peel due to dryness.
Fairness Flawless University Belt offers beauty products for ladies who wants to achieve clearer, fairer and healthier skin.
Fairness and Flawless have lots of beauty items to choose from for different skin conditions. We have soaps and sets for whitening, moisturizing, anti-acne/bacne, eczema, scars, blemishes and other skin conditions that needs improvement and treatment.

Leaked Photo of HTC M8 Teases Forthcoming Flagship Phone
The leaked image comes courtesy of Twitter user @evleaks, the same person who's seemingly posted a million other press shots of unreleased and unannounced products. That's to say there's a good chance this is the real deal, given his history.
The HTC M8 looks a lot like the One. There are no physical buttons on the front, and on full display is HTC's BlinkFeed home screen, which is intended to show "all your favorite content so you don't miss out on anything." You can also make out dual speakers and the front-facing camera, which is rumored to be 2.1 megapixels with LED flash.
Nothing is carved in stone, of course, though based on previous rumors, the HTC M8 could feature a 5-inch QHD display (2560x1440), quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, and Sense 6.0 painted over Android 4.4 KitKat.

Joseph Kanon, Barbara Peters, Linda Fairstein |
Barbara Peters, owner of the Poisoned Pen Bookstore, said they have hosted Linda for all of her books, and hosted Joseph for all his books except his first one, Los Alamos. Peters said in trying to come up with a common theme, she decided on food.
Kanon said he had a fabulous lunch in Istanbul, the scene of his latest book, Istanbul Passage. The book is set at the end of World War II. It's an espionage book in the same vein as Erik Ambler and John LeCarre. Istanbul is the main character, and all the chapters are named after neighborhoods. He told us all of his books begin with place.
He immersed himself in Los Alamos when he wrote that book. He wanted to learn more about it, what it was like to be there, to live there. Kanon does "literary archaeology". He can find the neighborhoods, the smart restaurants. What is most difficult is putting his head back in time. Istanbul Passage takes place in Istanbul in 1945. The end of the Sultanate was in 1922, only twenty-three years earlier. That's not impossibly far away. It's as far as 1989 and Ronald Reagan is from now. Kanon wanted readers to know what it feels like. Turkey is just out of the Ottoman Empire. Adults who lived during the empire were forced to be western. The harem had been abolished in 1909, just thirty-six years earlier. There were adult women alive in 1945 who had been brought to Turkey as slaves, and had been part of the harem. What happened to those women?
Kanon invented a character, Lily, a former harem girl. He was able to kill two birds with one stone. There are beautiful mansions on the Bosporus. Lily makes the perfect host for parties there. She went from a harem girl to a socialite.
Peters mentioned that Joseph Kanon had been an editor before he was a writer. He said every writer is different. There are no rules. He makes it up as he goes along, and doesn't use an outline. He was one third into The Good German before he knew who killed the victim in the first chapter.
According to Kanon, readers remember characters, not storylines. The real interest is in the people, their moral values, the kind of life they lead.
Some places just capture your imagination. Kanon went to Istanbul as a tourist, and fell in love with the city. He likes the perennial student aspect of a city. There's 1000 years of Byzantine history. All of Kanon's books have been set in the immediate years around World War II. Istanbul was neutral during World War II. He was intrigued as to how a city could remain neutral with war all around it. What he discovered is that war comes to you. There were all kinds of spies in Istanbul. The city was a chess board for everyone to play out maneuvers. It was like catnip. Everyone had operatives at the Park Hotel, which is now being developed as condominiums. The Americans were amateurs in the OSS. The Russians were there along with the Turkish police. There were Nazis. They were table hopping, buying each other drinks.
Kanon likes interesting moral questions. In Los Alamos, the scientists couldn't resist having the bomb go bang. This book deals with making of webs. There's an appeal to the secret life. It's based on lying. How does lying spill into other parts of life? The post-war period was a pivotal time. It was inherently dramatic. Kanon told us he was going to use a movie metaphor. The war begins with the black and white clarity of "Casablanca". It ends with "The Third Man", grey with moral compromise. Peters said there's murder and a love story. She jokingly referred to it as "Fifty Shades of Istanbul".
Linda Fairstein's Night Watch is the fourteenth book in the Alexandra Cooper series. Alex has been having a romance with a man in France for a while. Her books, like Kanon's, have a great sense of place. Her books are set in New York City. It's a character in Fairstein's books. Each book includes a short history of some section of New York. Fairstein enjoys exploring the history of familiar places. They may seem familiar, but have a dark underside.
Alex has the job Linda had for thirty years, sex crimes prosecutor for Manhattan. The books are about Alex and her two detective friends. Those three people can be set anyplace. Fairstein said people enjoy reading series because of the relationship with characters, and you can come back to them.
Fairstein's editor didn't want her to take the story to France. It's only the second time the series has gone out of the country. Fairstein told us most of her email asks, "When is Alex going to get together with Mike Chapman?" Her email about Luc, Alex's current lover, says he's not a keeper. Move him along. She takes readers into his world in Night Watch. There's a murder in the south of France. Usually the mysteries involve exploration of historic places. Alex is usually working on a related case.
While Fairstein was writing this book, a housekeeper in a hotel claimed she was sexually attacked. It pained Linda that she wasn't involved in the case. She tried, but wasn't able to get involved in it. Fairstein said she's been shocked as a prosecutor. You're helping a victim, giving them everything you've got, and still sometimes they lie. The accuser's story begins to change. Fairstein watched that New York case. It had an irresistible pull. People asked Linda what she thought happened. What happens when your victim lies? Linda's friend Jane Stanton Hitchcock told her she had to write about it. There were race and power dynamics. Fairstein created her character, and made him live near Luc's restaurant.
For pacing purposes, Fairstein had to get the story done in a week instead of dragging it out. She put in a twist, and wove the two stories together. Like Kanon, she doesn't outline. She knows early on who did it and why. It's the prosecutor in her. She likes a story to take twists and turns.
The title Night Watch is a police term from the time when a police force worked all day. Then, a private person, one man, was hired to be the Night Watch from midnight to 8. In New York City, that shift is called the Night Watch. Police on that shift work that case only for those hours, and then turn it over to regular investigators.
Fairstein said she wanted to call her first book Night Watch, but her agent said she and other older people would find it too related to World War II with the night watch and subs. Instead the book was called Final Jeopardy.
Barbara Peters mentioned that Night Watch involves Lutece, a New York restaurant where she never had dinner, and she regrets it. Kanon said he did eat there once. It was a great restaurant in the early '60s. It represented fine dining, very fancy French food. Now, dining in New York is more casual. Too formal might make people feel uncomfortable.
When Dorothy Parker came back from France and went to a restaurant, she was asked, "Would you like a beverage with your main?" She almost wept. Lutece was famous for publisher lunches. They'd go to the French restaurant, and have two or three martini lunches.
Fairstein said she'd let us in on a secret. The first love of her life was the man who created Lutece. Luc in the book is the son of that man, Andre Surmain. Andre was Linda's first love before her husband. He lived for food and fine dining. When he opened Lutece, complaints were that it was outrageously expensive. He charge $8.50 for lunch in the '60s, and had to lower his price. He was the first to use French crystal and dinnerware. Andre is alive and well, and unhappy that the character is named Luc. Linda said she ate well when she dated him.
Why is Luc in New York? He owns a restaurant in France. He wants to open one in New York, and needs backers. When you see a famous chef heading a restaurant, there is a business person behind them. It costs millions of dollars to run a restaurant. It's a dirty business. Many restaurants are owned by business conglomerates. Luc wants to do it the old-fashioned way. And, he wants to have great wines.
Asked about restaurants, Kanon said he lists the top restaurants in Istanbul on Facebook.
The three of them discussed the restaurant 21. It was well-known for its gates during Prohibition. The bars and shelves all collapsed. When the Feds showed up, there was a first gate outside where the guards could see who was there. Then there was a second gate. When the bartender pressed one button, the shelves collapsed. All the bottles broke and ran into the gutter. In the basement, there was a secret door opened using a pinhole. There was a door because the governor or stars couldn't be found in a bar. There was a side door into another building. 21 was raided, but alcohol was never found. Joseph Kanon joked that he was seated across from Trump at 21, and he wanted a door. He looked at his comb over, and thought, "How could you?" It's good if they know you at a restaurant. Linda had the best line in the book. A good restaurant is one where they know you.
Kanon said L.A. and New York restaurants have status. There's a food culture in Manhattan. Michael's is the current writers, publishers place.
People told Kanon he was going to hate book tours? He said, compared to what? Meetings and piles of paper? He said it's an interesting country. He enjoys meeting people, and it's a way to see things. How is it out there? He said once he gets out of NYC, he realizes how important driving and cars are to most of the country. He owns a car, but doesn't drive it much in New York.
Peters asked Linda if she was going to continue to set parts of the Alex Cooper books in Martha's Vineyard. After she said yes, Joseph said product placement really matters. That's Linda's lesson. Writing about 1945 isn't doing him any good.
Asked if he went to Istanbul intending to write a book, Kanon answered that he went as a tourist. He found it so interesting that he went back. He likes walking the city. He does it alone. He wants to know the city as his characters would. Where was their apartment? Would they take the train? He has to have a sense of the city, and knows it.
He said when his book, The Good German, was made into a movie, he had nothing to do with it. George Clooney was in it. But, the scriptwriter didn't get it. He knows no one really wants the author's input. But, the screenwriter didn't go to Berlin. He said he knew he couldn't put Lena on a plane out of Berlin because it would remind people of "Casablanca". But, the screenwriter had her sailing out of Berlin. Kanon asked if they could put her on a train or something. He really thinks the screenwriter has to go to the place. He had her sailing to Amsterdam, and there's only a small river there. That can't do justice to the story.
Asked which book was their favorite, Linda Fairstein answered the new one, fresth out of the box. Of the other thirteen, it would be The Bone Vault, set in The Museum of Natural History. There are fifty million human bones there.
Kanon agreed with Linda that you always like the one you just did. You're always hoping you're getting better. The first one is great because it's the one that started everything. His favorite is The Good German. He did what he wanted to do with that one. He likes parts of books. In Stardust, there's a page and a half when a man hears the the whole of history in a song.
What did Kanon learn as an editor? Listen and take what an editor says under advice, but from the other side, the only name on the book is yours, and you sometimes have to go with your gut instinct. Fairstein agreed. After 9/11, she included a scene about it, and her editor wanted her to take it out, saying it wouldn't be timely by the time it was published. But, Linda loved that scene. She said my readers will want to know what the characters were doing on 9/11. She's had more positive comments about that scene than any other. Kanon mentioned that editors say speed up the action. No editor says slow it down. He said we have a television culture. He said both authors use a lot of dialogue. There are ways to trim the material.
In discussing Turkey, Kanon said Istanbul is becoming the center of the region again. He has a Turk in the book say, "You think of it as a bridge. We see it as the center of the world." Istanbul was the center of the Ottoman Empire. The empire was not just Mideastern, but also Eastern European, and even went up to Russia.
Kanon said his books don't always have the same titles when they're published in other countries. His German publisher was always changing the titles. In Germany, you can't use a title if it's already been used. "The Good German" was a term used in the late '40s. It's not a good title for them. So, the publisher called it In the Ruins of Berlin. Joseph gave in to his publisher. Then, when he did his media tour there, everyone asked him why the name was changed. When Kanon told his publisher, the publisher said, see, they're talking about the book.
Barbara Peters said an author has to give you the feeling the place is real and you want to go there. Kanon agreed, but said if you do get it wrong, you get a slew of emails. Joseph Kanon ended the program by saying he has a theory. The more we accept spin in our public life, the more we expect authenticity in our fiction. Sometimes authors just want to say, "We made it up."

1987 Jayco Popup camper $500
This is a Jayco 1008 SG Deluxe. It has new water lines, clean refrigerator and electric element heater.. Canvas has been repaired here and there and could use repair here and there. The skirting along the bottom of the canvas, which is non-functional has deteriorated over time, but is more cosmetic than structural and still works well. Exterior seams were siliconed last fall, new trailer lighting wire harness at that time as well. It is in nice shape over all but could use tlc. The previous owner was the original owner and at some point they added a wood support along the ceiling and water proofed it in 2 corners where there was at one time a small leak. The only other "tlc" type repair would be to fasten the stove top / sink top to the base that it sits on better. A couple "L" brackets would do the trick and I may fix it myself. The tires have great tread, but do have weather checking. 2" inch ball coupler. It is missing one of the bedding pads, but the couch cushions are what we used up there. 2 pull outs, 1 at each end and a fold down table area bed. Lighting all good too and the right rear brake light probably needs to be cleaned as it works when it wants too. Blinkers and running lights work as they should. Keep in mind this is a 1987 and is in good shape for the year. Still very usable in its current condition. Also, with new canvas, it would be worth $800-1000 without question. As just a flat utility trailer, it is worth this much. I've put all of the imperfections out there and this is still a great little camper. Thanks for looking!!
UPDATE 05/26/11 I will be measuring the beds and will add interior pics MORE BASIC INFO: Box width = 82" Box length= 130" The beds measure - 48" X 74" and 54" X74" |

Pros: Sound
Cons: Weak without an Amp, Headband is a joke.
I have used these lightly and have had them out for repair more than I have had them on my head. The band is an absolute joke, unless you plan on never moving them from one spot do not buy them.

Put a quarter in the jukebox and the rocker Joby Taylor (Paul Dano) transforms. His loping gait diffuses into trance, a manic, writhing riff on his stage persona. It's a conversion experience of sorts, fittingly enough: "For Ellen" is a tale of many metamorphoses.
Fitting, too, for Dano, an actor whose embodiment of sanctimonious preachers ("There Will Be Blood"), unspeaking teens ("Little Miss Sunshine"), and struggling novelists ("Ruby Sparks") means not just a change of occupation, but of affect. With a tumult of hair, cheeks rounding into an ovoid chin, Dano is too distinctive to "disappear" into his roles — unlike, say, his "Blood" costar and uncanny Lincoln interpreter Daniel Day-Lewis — but his nuances of movement convey a thousand possible characters nonetheless.
That's why Joby's jukebox moment is so arresting. The bodily change of key comes not between roles but between beats, keeping time for Joby's continual act of becoming. The scene is also central to understanding Tribeca Films' "For Ellen," from writer-director So Yong Kim, and not only because the excellent Dano buoys the film through its meditative pacing. The musician's journey may be "For Ellen," but it's the shifts among Joby's many faces — electric, wrung out, tender, defeated — that forms the core of the story.
In town to sign divorce papers, and possibly to connect with Ellen (the adorable Shaylena Mandigo), the daughter he left behind to chase his onstage dreams, the film matches Joby's transformations with a subtle, effective aesthetic of day and night. The latter sequences are blurred, loud, claustrophobic. Even asleep, the camera holds tight to his goosebumps as a fly skitters across his skin. It's only here, sun fallen, that he hums along to his guitar: this is Joby, building momentum, being alive. What about the rest of the time? Weighing his life as though it were merely a transaction — "Why does Claire get everything?" he laments — his selfishness, his wandering diffidence, are only laid bare during the days, pale, snow-covered, muffled: the hangover that follows the bender.
Luckily, Ellen calls, shaking Joby (and the film) from the quicksand of ennui. Their two hours together, at first terse and wary on both ends, blossom into a sweet kind of buddy picture, and in a brief, panicky moment at the mall, the energy of Joby's narcissism is directed elsewhere for the first time.
"For Ellen" at times loses the narrative thread, as clumsy in certain sequences as it is striking in others. Jon Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite"), as Joby's ludicrously inept attorney, is left adrift in yet another strange, awkward role, and the film's failed coda, with Joby's girlfriend (Jena Malone), lets the air out of an otherwise moving second half.
For in the series of exchanges between Joby and Ellen, the last of them set to a halting rendition of "Moonlight Sonata," I warmed to "For Ellen" as Joby does to his daughter, maybe even fell in love for a spell. As he climbs out her window, the complications of his other life fade into the background for a moment, and Joby undergoes another conversion, no less powerful for being as quiet and crisp as the winter air. Day replaces night, and it turns out clarity is better than the blur.
"For Ellen," on DVD today, is also available on Amazon Video, iTunes, vudu, and Netflix.

PHOENIX—Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer defended the director of her social services agency Monday while angrily saying that those responsible for illegally closing more than 6,500 uninvestigated child abuse and neglect reports will be held accountable.
Brewer's comments came as she announced a second outside review of the state's child welfare agency to ensure Child Protective Services properly investigates the reports closed in the past four years.
Most of the closures happened in the past 20 months as a team assigned to prescreen tips phoned into the state's child abuse hotline tried to manage a soaring workload in field offices that do the investigations.
Brewer appointed the head of the state's juvenile corrections department to lead the review, which also will look at the agency's practices and procedures to prevent a repeat of the scandal that has roiled CPS. The team also includes child advocates, two state lawmakers, a retired police chief and a Maricopa County prosecutor.
CPS investigators discovered the practice of closing uninvestigated cases in August, and it was made public Nov. 21. Brewer also has assigned state police to investigate who was responsible for deciding to close the cases, which require investigation under state law.
Brewer, a Republican, again resisted calls from some Democrats and child welfare advocates for her to fire Clarence Carter, who leads CPS' parent agency, the Department of Economic Security. She said he had done "a fine job."
"I believe, personally, that there has been a break in the command, and we will get to the bottom of it, and somebody—people—will be held accountable," Brewer said. "We're not going to tolerate this. I think we need a complete, full investigation, we need to know where all the bodies are buried, if you will, no pun intended. But we're not going to start attacking people until we know that we've got a basis for doing that."
Carter declined to answer questions Monday at a news conference announcing the outside review.
State Rep. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, who was appointed to the independent team, said an outside review is required.
"It is absolutely critical that we have independent oversight, and I believe the team our governor has assembled is what is needed," Rep. Kate Brophy McGee said. "It will bring transparency to an agency that has been cloaked in secrecy and integrity to a process that has appeared corrupt."
The problems at the state's child welfare agency aren't new, and Brewer has made reforming it a priority in the past several years. Last January, Brewer personally took credit in her State of the State address for "overhauling" the hotline system so urgent calls received priority.
On Monday, she again promised reforms.
"We know it's never going to be perfect—we don't live in a perfect world—but we're going to do everything that we can possibly do to get to the bottom of these 6,000 uninvestigated cases," she said. "We're going to have eyes on each and every one of them, and we're going to enact reforms so these things don't happen ever again in the state of Arizona."
Carter has created a plan to respond to all the cases, including completing an initial review by Monday. He promised that all cases warranting full investigation will be assigned to investigators by the end of next month. He's assigned more than 200 CPS supervisors and program managers to the work, employees who don't currently handle cases.

rule #1 - never stay out past midnight. you could also state this another way, nothing good ever happens after midnight. you never hear about a celebrity saving someone's life at 1AM, or a celebrity gets a big part in a movie at 3:30AM, or a celebrity has really good interaction with press/public at 2AM. it's always, so and so throws someone through a plate glass window, or so and so gets popped for possession of meth, or so and so get's arrested at girlfriend's apartment. i understand the need to party, and most normal people are able to stay out past midnight and have no problems, but if you're a celebrity why take that chance. especially when you can just have the party come to you. wanna hang out with strippers late at night? just pay them to come to the house. wanna get really wasted, just throw a big party at your house. rent a big hotel room. whatever. staying off the streets past midnight reduces your likelihood of getting trouble by about 4000%.
rule #2 - never drive a car. pay someone else to drive you around. a driver is really not that expensive and cabs and limos are a good investment. there's the obvious stuff, like drunk driving, or killing someone on the 405. but even if you're not doing that, if there's one thing that the cops can always pull you over for, it is traffic violations - busted tail lights, failure to use turn signal, whatever. the traffic violation is usually never a big deal. it's what happens after you get pulled over, cops find gun/drugs/kiddie porn. and if you're smart, you pay your driver enough where he or she knows to take the fall for you. you all saw traffic. think terrence howard's character wishes that he had hired a driver for that night?
the next two rules do apply to all celebrities but are especially directed towards professional athletes.
rule #3 - do not get married. look, i understand that people fall in love and that sometimes, having a life partner is cool. however, i also understand that celebrity means special circumstances often put extra pressure on something that is already difficult to maintain. the divorce rate for the regular population is already at 50%. what do you think it is for celebrities? and you can sign all the prenups in the world, but the bottom line is, if something goes wrong with your marriage, which is always does, then you're on the hook for a lot of your money, not to mention the drama and the bad press you get during a divorce. you always hear that any good lawyer can get you out of a prenup. it's even worse here in california where the law dictates the other person always gets half.
corollary A to rule #3 - if you're a dude, get a vasectomy. baby momma drama is never good. just ask tom brady or matt leinart. look, you can always adopt, freeze your sperm, or in some cases, get the procedure reversed. what you can't do is force someone to have an abortion, get out of paying hush money, or having your offspring from growing up to be a psycho and then writing a tell all book about how you are a terrible father. also, don't forget if you're young, how much trouble and time it takes to be a father. your bachelor lifestyle is substantially curtailed with the presence of a little one.
rule #4 - do not under any circumstances, buy, own, or carry a gun. again, i'll use the logic that i used in rule #1. how often have you heard of a celebrity fending off would-be evil doers with their gun? how many bank robberies have been stopped by paris hilton pulling her gat out of her purse? now, if you want, you can still have someone in your posse carry a gun. i know, everyone is thinking, "what about pacman jones? he wasn't carrying a gun and look how much trouble he's in." well just think how much trouble he would be in if he were carrying a gun. besides, he was violating rule #1, so it's a wash. the point is, guns plus celebrity has never ever resulted in a good outcome.
anyways, i am sure that if celebrities followed these rules, the world would be a much safer place. it may seem like i'm only talking about the celebutards like paris and lindsay, but click on over to the smoking gun's celebrity mugshot archive, and you tell me how many of these pictures would never have been taken if these people followed these rules. mel gibson? broke rule #1 and #2. phil spector? rule #4. britney? rule #3 would have saved us all from k-fed. the cinncinatti bengals? multiple infractions, all rules.
so there's my good deed for the day. if there are any readers out there connected to celebrities, please direct them to this blog and tell them i said, "you're welcome".

What do I do if my Health Insurance is Denied?
If you have been denied for health insurance due to medical reasons, you don't have to be uninsured and you don't necessarily have to enroll on a high risk health insurance plan. Below are a number of alternatives to consider. Most do not involve medical review, so you could still qualify even if you've previously been denied coverage.
To download a printable version of this info-graphic, click Options When Health Insurance is Denied Info-graphic.
Group Insurance:
For many people, the next best thing to private insurance is group insurance. If you work for a company that offers business health insurance and you are eligible for coverage, consider applying. The premium tends to be slightly more expensive than for a private plan but it's exempt from medical underwriting, so you can't be denied health insurance. For more information, check with your employer. If you don't qualify now, ask when the next open enrollment is. If you are the business owner, call a benefits specialist at 1-800-514-0958 to see how you can start a group plan with Kaiser Permanente.
Short Term Insurance:
Should group insurance not be an option and you are having difficulty finding other coverage, look into short term insurance. This is for people who need affordable major medical coverage in a hurry and who don't mind having coverage for a limited period of up to six months. While you're searching for the right plan, you can at least have some coverage in the meanwhile. Medical underwriting applies, but the criteria for deniable health conditions are not as strict. So even if you've been denied coverage for a regular health plan, you could still qualify for short term insurance.
State Programs:
A variety of state-sponsored insurance programs are available. In California, for example, options include a plan exclusively for pregnant women, as well as high risk health insurance plans for people with serious medical conditions. To qualify for state programs, the family must meet the eligibility criteria for the specific program. Commonly, income requirements apply. In most cases, medical review is not applicable and you could still enroll even if you've been denied insurance coverage due to health reasons. Visit www.coverageforall.org for specific guidelines for the program that relates to your situation.
Other Alternatives after Health Insurance Denied
Sometimes, people shop for medical coverage because they are losing their group plan. If that is true for you and you applied for private insurance but were denied, then, additional options are available to you. Consider the following if your company health plan is being terminated and you've been denied coverage for a private plan:
COBRA ("Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985"):
COBRA coverage is available to employees and their dependents that are losing group health benefits. Exception: COBRA is not available if the company is being dissolved. Eligibility is unaffected by pre-existing conditions, so you cannot be denied for health insurance. On COBRA, you can continue the same health plan as under the group policy. Some drawbacks with COBRA are: It is temporary and the price will be much higher than when you were under the group policy.
Conversion Insurance:
Generally, a conversion plan is an option to switch coverage from a group policy to a private plan, without going through medical underwriting. The plans will vary between insurance companies. This article will address Kaiser Conversion Plans.
If you are losing your Kaiser Permanente group coverage, one of your options is to switch to a Kaiser Conversion Plan. Like COBRA, a pre-existing condition does not affect eligibility, so you won't have your health insurance denied. Unlike COBRA, however, you can stay on a conversion plan indefinitely. The price is usually steep and the plan may not be the same as the one you had with the company.
HIPAA ("Health Insurance Portability and accountability Act of 1996"):
HIPAA coverage is probably not the first-choice for many people. It is exempt from medical review, so you can't be denied for health insurance, however, there are other hoops to jump through. One of the main hurdles is that you must have been on COBRA, or similar continuation plan, and exhausted the insurance benefits in order to qualify for HIPAA. This means that after you lost your group insurance, you had to have enrolled on COBRA and exhausted those benefits before you could qualify for HIPAA.

After complaints by Lotus and Red Bull, the FIA has ruled that the F-duct DRS wing on the Mercedes-AMG W03 is legal. This hopefully puts an end to controversy over whether it gave the team an unfair advantage.
Lotus and Red Bull claimed that the F-duct violated Formula 1's rule against driver-controlled aerodynamic aids. In a way all the DRS systems violate this rule, given they are activated on the steering wheel, but it is deemed legal by the FIA.
The FIA says that the system is passive and part of the normal operation of the DRS, and therefore, it is allowed.
"It is completely passive. There are no moving parts in it; it doesn't interact with any suspension. No steering, nothing. Therefore I cannot see a rule that prohibits it," said Formula 1 Technical Director Charlie Whiting.
The decision by the FIA means that the teams can either challenge the ruling or they are free develop their own similar systems.
Basically, the Mercedes wing works through an F-duct that opens when the DRS is activated. When opened, it creates a stall on the wing reducing aerodynamic drag and increasing top speed. This is useful in two settings. First, teams may qualify with the DRS open giving the W03 a top speed advantage. Second, it would increase the speed advantage granted by the DRS during the race making it easier for the W03 to pass.
You can see images of the DRS open and closed in the gallery.

Berlin Babylon
There is no expiration date for dread. Fritz Lang died in 1976, but the work of this most perennially modern of directors is of uncanny timeliness today. His best films seem to have been made in a time of emergency. Their austere and relentlessly paranoid narratives feed upon the fear that nothing is as it seems. The principal character of his hypnotic Dr. Mabuse films is a fiendish mastermind, pursuing a one-man war against democracy in a world where the individual is a mere puppet of hostile forces.
BAM's monthlong series includes nearly all of Lang's extant German films from Harakiri (1919) up to the labyrinthine The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933), a thinly disguised anti-Nazi picture (the world's first), and his last German film before emigrating to the U.S. The retro includes several restored and archival prints and the New York premiere of a newly restored Metropolis (1926). This pioneering sci-fi epic survived for many years only in truncated prints. When first shown in this country, it had been cut to 107 minutes; BAM's version runs 147 minutes. There is still some missing footage, but this is the closest we're ever likely to get to Lang's monumental original.
MOMA's annual survey of filmmaking in Germany doesn't reveal any budding Fritz Langs, but it does showcase a few promising new talents. The spotlight this year seems heavily focused on docs celebrating German cultural icons, although one fiction film stands out: Jobst Oetzmann's The Loneliness of the Crocodiles (2000). Its protag is a writer who travels from Hamburg to a skanky east Westphalia village; there, he attempts to discover the truth about the suicide of a cousin who had grown up in the abattoir where his parents turned pigs into sausages. This rural dark comedy is full of bright moments, but its slaughterhouse scenes might turn steadfast carnivores into vegans.
Irene Langemann's Lale Anderson (2001) is an entertaining account of the singer whose impassioned recording of "Lili Marleen" made that monument of schmaltz one of the best-loved songs of the World War II era. It's still aroundwe're shown the damn tune being played for the delectation of homesick German peacekeepers in Kosovo.

Clarissa Ruge's Hildegarde Knef bio, A Woman and a Half (2001), bursts at the seams with rare film clips, songs, and weltschmerzy interviews with and about the intriguing actress who emerged as one of the key figures of postwar German cinema. Knef went to Hollywood for a while; returned to Germany, where she developed a second career as a cabaret singer (and was dubbed "the thinking man's Marlene Dietrich"); then scored on Broadway in the Cole Porter musical Silk Stockings. In much of Ruge's film, she's seen sitting on the deserted deck of an ocean liner, somewhere between Europe and Americaa fitting analogy for a life lived on two continents. A puffy old lynx now, complex and crotchety and very much the diva, she's unforgettable. A Woman and a Half is hardly well-shapedit seems about to end several times before it does come to a close, but you don't want it to stop. It's so full of life, so full of Hilde Knef, one of the great survivors.

Abstract: | We compare the position of an ordering transition in a metal to that in a superconductor. For the spin-density wave (SDW) transition, we find that the quantum critical point shifts by order \(\mid\Delta\mid\), where \(\Delta\) is pairing amplitude so that the region of SDW order is smaller in the superconductor than in the metal. This shift is larger than the \(\sim\mid\Delta\mid\) shift predicted by theories of competing orders which ignore Fermi-surface effects. For Ising-nematic order, the shift from Fermi-surface effects remains of order \(\mid\Delta\mid 2\). We discuss implications of these results for the phase diagrams of the cuprates and the pnictides. We conclude that recent observations imply that the Ising-nematic order is tied to the square of the SDW order in the pnictides but not in the cuprates. |

Language Requirement
Goals of the Language Requirement
The Department of Modern Languages has three goals for all of its courses:
- To teach students to assemble and analyze information through an awareness of the power of language in its many contexts
- To provide linguistic training for students to write, speak, and communicate effectively in a foreign language
- To promote intercultural competence for students to perceive the connectedness and complexities of our world and to navigate effectively across diverse cultural lines
We stress a communicative approach to language learning. In our classes, you will learn the essential four skills of a living language: how to read, write, listen, and speak. You will also learn about culture and history through your language study. Depending on which courses you take, your language proficiency may vary, but all Washington College students will achieve at the minimum an intermediate low proficiency level (based on ACTFL guidelines) in all four skills.
Language placement process
*All incoming and transfer students must take the language survey and, if applicable, a placement exam to determine their level.*How to complete the language requirement
- For students starting a new language or students placed in the 101 or 102 level: two semesters in the new or placement language.
- For students placing in 200-level or above in French, German, Chinese, or Spanish: one semester of study.
- Students who have achieved a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement test have satisfied this requirement.
- Students whose native language is not English may satisfy this requirement with that language pending approval from the Chair of Modern Languages.
- Students who present appropriate documentation qualifying them for a foreign language substitution may be allowed to substitute two pre-approved courses to satisfy this requirement.
Frequently asked questions
How do I take the Placement Exam?
Following your acceptance to Washington College and prior to Summer Advising Days you will receive a letter in which you will find instructions for taking the foreign language survey. You will access the survey electronically via WebAdvisor on the Washington College website. In order to take the placement survey you will need the login and password that were assigned to you in the letter. If you have already taken Chinese, French, German, and Spanish, the survey will forward you to the Language Placement exam. After you finish the exam, you will see your placement score and the level in which it is most appropriate for you to enroll.
What if I forget which class I placed into?
Your academic adviser will have access to your placement score and will make certain you are enrolled in the appropriate course. Alternately, you can check your language placement level on your Advising Summary Sheet on admin.washcoll.edu.
What if my language placement is much higher/lower than I expected?
We take placement very seriously and firmly believe that our exam is accurate. Occasionally students feel they are in the wrong class. First, it is important to allow yourself some time to adjust to a college-level language class before rushing into making changes. If, after attending class, you believe you have been mistakenly placed you should speak to your instructor. S/he will be best able to assess your progress to that point in the class. Students often perceive problems when in reality they are simply adjusting to the expectations. If you and your instructor decide that you should be in a different level class, you should then speak with both your adviser and the chair of the Modern Languages department so that appropriate measures can be taken.
What if there is no placement exam available for the language I studied in high school?
You do not need to take the placement exam since you will be starting with a new language. You should enroll in the language of your choice at the 101 level.
What if the language that I studied in high school is not offered at WC?
You should enroll in a new language at the 101-level.
I took an AP exam in a language offered at WC.
If you received a 4 or 5 on that exam you will get college credit and your language requirement will be complete. However, if you plan to continue your study of that language, you should still take the placement exam and enroll in the appropriate level of language based on your score.
I took an AP exam in a language not offered at WC.
If you received a 4 or 5 on that exam you will get college credit and your language requirement will be complete.
What if I want to take another language than the one I studied in high school?
We welcome you to do so! Please enroll in the language of your choice at the 101-level. For our records, though, we would still like you to take the placement survey and the placement exam for the language you studied in high school if that language is Chinese, French, Spanish, or German. If you change your mind later we will know where you should be placed.
I have learning differences that make studying a language difficult for me.
Please go to the Office of Academic Skills website for further information.
I am a faculty member and would like to find the placement scores of a student.
Please refer to the student's Advising Summary Sheet on the College admin page.

Low manufacturing yields for Apple's redesigned iMac lineup and "minor cannibalization" from the iPad and iPad mini will also likely result in slower sales for the computers, according to the analyst. Wu expects Mac sales for the December quarter to come to 5 million, down from a previous prediction of 5.1 million and lower than the consensus of between 5.2 million and 5.3 million.
What Would be the Overall Impact of Wu's Observations?
Wu raised his quarterly revenue estimate for Apple to $54.6 billion and earnings per share estimate to $13.70 from $53.7 billion and $13.15, respectively. He also increased his gross margin forecast for Apple's current quarter to 38.5 percent from a previous prediction of 38 percent. For fiscal 2013, the analyst predicts that Apple will earn $193.4 billion in revenue and $49.50 in earnings per share, higher than consensus figures of $193 billion and $49.28, respectively. Apple shareholders were not giving much credence to the positive note on Tuesday morning, with shares down a little less than 2 percent at $574.50 at midday in New York.

Tbf UK and Ireland passports have so much overlap they're pretty much the same thing. I'm eligible for both.
As with vic, the case of Joyce does irk me a lot more than that of Morgan. It's the prerogative of the English selectors whether they want to pick someone in a format that blatantly does not suit them, bat them in a completely different role to that which they've played previously, and discard them permanently (from all formats) when they show little success. But it does feel that we're being trampled on when their momentary flirtation deprives Irish cricket of its greatest-ever talent for the peak of his career.
Is it four years at the moment? I don't really know why it can't be shorterned to something like two... still a disincentive to swap but not so damaging as it has been for Joyce.
Probably would be good to see something put in place that could have stopped Nannes turning out for Holland just to play the T20WC and then become Australian again immediately afterwards, but I'm not sure how that could work at all. It's generally better if players have some committment to the country they are representing, such as some of Ireland's 'imports' who appear to be pretty committed to Irish cricket.
I say borders a man made phenomena to isolate people from one another .. racism is created by politicians and religious leaders not only to perserve their power but to gain more power and in modren day to get our votes..
so i say let people play where ever they want to.. and let people live and be the citizen of where ever they want to.. that is the only way we can send a giant middle finger to these politicians and religious leaders..

This was the first recipe I made with quinoa and I've been a big fan since. My favorite place to buy it is Costco but it comes in a rather large bag so I'd recommend finding a friend to split it with if you've never tried it out before.
1 c. Quinoa
2 c. veggie broth
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 bell pepper (red, yellow or orange), diced
1 large tomato, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, minced
2 t. cumin
salt and pepper to taste
lots of lime juice (from about 6 limes)
Cook quinoa according to package directions, using broth instead of water. Combine cooled quinoa with the rest of the ingredients and serve!

Over 90% of the men who founded the government of this nation were Christians. If you doubt that fact go back and read some of the things they wrote, it would be hard to read too far without a reference to the Almighty or Providence, ect...
Could you imagine what type of government we would have if these men were athiests, humanists, agnostics? |

web wheeling, hard.
you are kidding yourself.
the christian message is one of freedom, and it is NO mistake that the founders desire for religious freedom is a part of their faith. Yes, because of persecution, but not limited to that. The sad part is that everyone has a fear of speaking the name of God, for which this country has its foundation. |

co captain of cubes pants
and the freedoms that Christan's want to take away from non-believers makes them the cruel hand of oppression. forcing the rest of us to live by or honor your mythology in our public doc./ institutions is be no means freedom nor is living by its law |
October 12th, 2007, 07:37 PM | #6 |
co captain of cubes pants
yes it is worse in places like Iran, but make no mistake, fundamentalism is the same no matter who there profit is.
if the fundamentalist Christan's in this country get there way we are in real trouble. take for instance homosexuals, they are born here but don't have the same rights as you and me because of Christians hate for them. how is that a message of freedom? and just because it is worse somewhere else does not mean that we should not fight for freedom here, freedom for everyone equally, not just those the Christan church deems worthy |

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
They belived that our rights come from God Himself, and that He made us all equal. I don't know where you get the idea that homos have less rights here? I have as much rights under the constitution as they do. Correct me if I am wrong but under moslem law homos are executed. Those "fundamentalists" gave us the best form of government the world has ever seen. |

believe me, you are already getting your way. This nation is nearly godless. our government is falling farther and farther away from its roots every year. I am not striving for more, but I do wish the level of the past would be brought back.

co captain of cubes pants
what you see as getting my way i see as progress. nothing against you personally Dave, i respect your view and opinion. and hold your right to freedom to worship as a core belief and something i would be willing to fight for. but your freedom to worship cannot trump someone else freedom not to suffer under its tyranny this i am also willing to fight for as it is just as important. ill use gays as an example again gays having sex or getting married have no real affect on you, it will not prevent you from getting into heaven, or prevent you from living your life your way in any way shape or form. but the laws that you and your people have a profound effect on those that don't believe as you do they cannot live there life as they see fit in this so called free country only because your peoples religion has deemed them wrong that is the very definition of oppression |
October 13th, 2007, 12:04 PM | #14 |
Mr. Special Snowflake.
I really don't see defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman as a violation of anyones rights. It's the same for everyone, everyone has the equal right to find a willing partner of the opposite sex and get married to that person. Just because some people feel that that is not the right type of relationship for them I don't think gives them the right to change the definition for the rest of us.

2. Ok, so who is suffering? So what tyranny have you observed? 3. As far as I can tell, gays can have sex and romantic relationships. How exactly are gays oppressed by our nation? Our nation was a better place when it was operated more on christian principles, and our nation continues to WORSEN the more it wanders from its roots, it will only get worse. Look at how broken our society is, how much hurt and pain there is. Our nation as a whole is not getting any better and you know it. |

Despite Caps fans clamoring for another top six center, the Caps could certainly use one or two more wingers in the near future. With Kuznetsov's delayed arrival and the likely departure of Alexander Semin, there's a hole in the flanks. With the picks they have, the Caps could select a player who could contribute on the second line– particularly if they switch back to the fast-paced style of play that George McPhee hinted at during a pre-draft meeting with the media.
In their NHL line-up, the Caps currently have Alex Ovechkin, Jason Chimera, and Matt Hendricks on the left wing; and Troy Brouwer and Joel Ward on the right wing. The Caps' top prospect is Stanislav Galiev at left and Evgeny Kuznetsov, somewhere far away, at right.
