Can Ian Desmond make it through the season with his strained oblique? Can Jayson Werth make it back from his broken wrist? What, if anything, might the Nationals be looking for at the trade deadline?
We touched on all those subjects and more yesterday when CSNwashington.com's Chase Hughes and the Washington Times' Amanda Comak joined me for our latest edition of Beltway Baseball. We also answered the best of the questions you submitted here, including one directed at Chase.
Enjoy the show…

Just heard on the radio that Ankiel was DFA'd? I really thought they might ditch Michael Gonzalez or send Tyler Moore down. Not against the move, just surprised because they have so much professional respect for me. Great guy, great arm, but not much else.

Dan Kolko@masnKolkoRick Ankiel's locker has been cleaned out. Nameplate taken down. Looks like he's been DFAd. #NatsAs sad goodbye to the ARM.
- JaneB - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:08 PM
Wow. Ankiel news on Twitter. Unhappy birthday for him. My gratitude to him for some awesome hits and jaw dropping put outs.
- Oldguy - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:11 PM
The Nationals will designate Rick Ankiel for assignment to create roster space for Drew Storen, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter). The move creates 25 and 40-man roster space for Storen, who's being activated from the disabled list after battling elbow soreness.
- Kirbs - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:13 PM
Sad for Ankiel and he will certainly be missed (especially if I dare say in October). But Roger has been unbelievable off the bench. The question is, who claims him?
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:14 PM
Rizzo never ceases to surprise me. I have to admit that this never crossed my mind although it does make some sense. Ankiel has barely played lately and Bernie has clearly passed him in Davie's pecking order and deservedly so. Ankiel will land somewhere but he needs to find a situation where he's only counted on for some late inning defense and a potential power bat off the bench. His role here last year and at the beginning of this year was too large for him to handle; he's just not a good enough hitter to play every day.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:16 PM
I also think that Mike Gonzalez has been much too effective to lose at this point. What this does is defer the decision for a while at least until after the trade deadline.
- Faraz Shaikh - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:17 PM
I agree that he gets a job somewhere soon enough. best wishes to him. Won't forget that strike to ramos.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:17 PM
What I really mean is that when Werth returns they are likely to drop a pitcher.
- Tcostant - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:19 PM
Rick Ankiel hasn't been used much lately, other some late defense. Tuesday I was them hit with Onion, when Ankiel would have hit in that spot just a few weeks ago. It makes sence, especially the way Bernie is hitting.
- Feel Wood - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:24 PM
Dan Kolko@masnKolkoRick Ankiel's locker has been cleaned out. Nameplate taken down. Looks like he's been DFAd. #NatsNot a big surprise. As Tuesday night's game moved into the bottom of the 10th, some of the other guys in section 309 and I were talking about who Davey had left on the bench to pinch hit for Mattheus who was due up first. We threw out names, including Solano the backup catcher. None of us even thought of Ankiel, who was still sitting right there on the bench. Neither did Davey, who sent up Solano even though he wasn't sure he could even hit due to the oblique injury that we in the stands didn't even know about. Sometime after I got home, might have even been the next day, I heard Ankiel's name mentioned somewhere and realized we had forgotten all about him the night before. Then I said to myself, that's not a good sign.
- Tcostant - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:25 PM
If all the pen pitches well the the next two weeks, a pen arm might just be traded for a prospect to make room for Werth. Don't discount that, because bullipen guys have a lot of value and you can't keep that many guys around and expect all to get work. Once Storen proves full use (back to back) then Rizzo will know that someone else in the pen can be dealt.
- SCNatsFan - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Either Ankiel or Bernie had to go unless you think Moore needs to be sent back down. I think once Werth returns HRod or Gonzales will also be looking for somewhere new to live.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:29 PM
Tcostant, You are not kidding. Just ask the Mets how they feel about bullpen help. There have been blown saves all over the place. Kudos to Rizzo for having built this bullpen; it's a tremendous asset to have this time of year.
- JeffDC2004 - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:30 PM
With Werth and Tracy likely coming back over the next few weeks, the GM and Davey will have some hard decisions to make. If only the Nats could keep their catchers healthy . . . .
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:33 PM
SC, Moore isn't going back down and Henry isn't getting released. I think that things will straighten out with either unforeseen DL stints, trades etc.
- Feel Wood - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:34 PM
The question is, who claims him?Possibly no one. Any team that claims him is going to have to cut, option or trade someone else to create space for him on their 25-man roster. He is what he is, and is there another team that would be making an upgrade by claiming him at the expense of losing or demoting a player they have now? The most likely scenario for Ankiel is the same one that Lidge went through. In ten days, he can decide if he wants to retire or sign back on as a minor leaguer. He gets paid either way.Expect this same scenario to play out soon with X. Nady. Possibly with C.M. Wang too.
- timeless46 - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:35 PM
Best of luck to Ankiel. I hope someone picks him up soon. Its tough when you have to let go good people. Go Nats!
- SCNatsFan - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:38 PM
I agree about Moore; HRod, I still think he's just a couple of implosions away from going away. I really hope he straightens out.
- NatsLady - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:41 PM
Given that he is probably injured, I would guess he takes the rest of the season off–hopefully without the Lidge nastiness. At this point, putting him on the 60-day DL would have the same effect as the DFA; if I understand correctly he would not be eligible for playoffs. So the decision was 15-day DL or DFA, and with needing the roster spot, that was the decision.
- JD - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:43 PM
SC, If it was me I would cut Henry loose but listening to Rizzo it doesn't sound like he's ready to give up just yet. Maybe he's hoping to get something back in a trade.

This should be a boost of confidence for Moore and Bernadina. I love Davey's faith in the younger guys.I think Clip's issues will pass. I don't think he's tired or "worn-out". He hit 95 MPH several times last night – not the sign of a dead arm. His issue last night was his inability to locate his fastball. Ray Knight alluded to it in the post game. Both his pitch to Wright and the one to Bay were missed spots. The one to Wright was elevated. The one to Bay ran over the plate inside. He also couldn't get the ball in on the corner to the lefties, almost hitting Duda (I think). He'll get back in sync and be fine.Morse on the other hand still looks hurt to me. Not withstanding NJ's report from Miami that he was bombing balls off the sculpture, he appears to be having the same issues that Zim had pre-cortisone. He cannot stay through and drive a pitch on the outer half. The Mets are pounding him out there, and he appears helpless.Lastly, what is it with all the obliques? It makes you wonder whether the Nats' trainers are implementing some sort of lifting program that is contributing to the problem.
- Section 3, My PFB Hitterish Sofa - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:53 PM
I was going to mention that he's fairly cheap at $1.25M for the year, over half of which the Nats have already paid, but he also has performance bonuses, so to the approx. half of his base salary, let's round it to $600K still due, he would hit a $200K performance bonus with 29 more plate appearances, and likewise with each subsequent 50 PAs, so that starts to add up.
- Section 3, My PFB Hitterish Sofa - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:55 PM
#4, that's partly why I was wondering which oblique muscles they are injuring.
- Grandstander - Jul 19, 2012 at 2:59 PM
This might have been something he wanted as well. IIRC, the primary reason he signed with the Nats was because it offered him the greatest chance to be a starter. Of course, with Harper's call up, that all changed, and with Bernadina surpassing him as a left-handed PH/Double-switch sub guy, he really didn't have any shot at even semi-regular playing time.All the best to Ankiel, but we're a better team without him.
- Section 3, My PFB Hitterish Sofa - Jul 19, 2012 at 3:01 PM
@Kirbs, re B.J. Upton for Morse rumors:That's all down to a Bowden tweet, apparently, with no corroboration, so consider the source, I'd say, but District on Deck discusses it in some detail, FWIW.
- ehay2k - Jul 19, 2012 at 3:46 PM
#4 – take a look at the replays and you will see that Clippard's pitch to Wright was right where Flores called it. He was simply trying to get a fastball over to get ahead in the count, and Wright guessed correctly and drilled it. He had a three run lead, so it was not a bad decision to get ahead.
- waddu eye no - Jul 19, 2012 at 6:25 PM
we all know ankiel's history. heworked himself back to a second chance and rolde it as far as he could. if he's done, he should retire proud.
- natsfan1a - Jul 20, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Belated birthday wishes for The Arm. Also thanks and good luck to him.

Prostate Cancer Screening (PDQ®) What is screening? Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormaltissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread. Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done. It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms. Screening tests may be repeated on a regular basis. If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests. General Information About Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine). It is about the size of a walnut and surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). The prostate gland produces fluid that makes up part of semen. Anatomy of the male reproductive and urinary systems, showing the prostate, testicles, bladder, and other organs. As men age, the prostate may get bigger. A bigger prostate may block the flow of urine from the bladder and cause problems with sexual function. This condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and although it is not cancer, surgery may be needed to correct it. The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia or of other problems in the prostate may be similar to symptoms of prostate cancer. Normal prostate and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A normal prostate does not block the flow of urine from the bladder. An enlarged prostate presses on the bladder and urethra and blocks the flow of urine. See the following PDQ summaries for more information about prostate cancer: Prostate Cancer Prevention Prostate Cancer Treatment Prostate cancer is the most common nonskin cancer among men in the United States. Prostate cancer is found mainly in older men. Although the number of men with prostate cancer is large, most men diagnosed with this disease do not die from it. Prostate cancer occurs more often in African-American men than in white men. African-American men with prostate cancer are more likely to die from the disease than white men with prostate cancer. Age, race, and family history of prostate cancer can affect the risk of developing prostate cancer. Anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a risk factor. Risk factors for prostate cancer include the following: Being 50 years of age or older. Being black. Having a brother, son, or father who had prostate cancer. Eating a diet high in fat or drinking alcoholic beverages. Prostate Cancer Screening Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer. Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer. Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. Cancer screening trials also are meant to show whether early detection (finding cancer before it causes symptoms) decreases a person's chance of dying from the disease. For some types of cancer, finding and treating the disease at an early stage may result in a better chance of recovery. There is no standard or routine screening test for prostate cancer. Screening tests for prostate cancer are under study, and there are screening clinical trials taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site. Tests to detect (find) prostate cancer that are being studied include the following: Digital rectal exam Digital rectal exam (DRE) is an exam of the rectum. The doctor or nurse inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the lower part of the rectum to feel the prostate for lumps or anything else that seems unusual.Digital rectal exam (DRE). The doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum and feels the prostate to check for anything abnormal. Prostate-specific antigen test A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a test that measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA is a substance made mostly by the prostate that may be found in an increased amount in the blood of men who have prostate cancer. The level of PSA may also be high in men who have an infection or inflammation of the prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH; an enlarged, but noncancerous, prostate). Scientists are studying the combination of PSA testing and digital rectal exam as a way to get more accurate results from the screening tests. Risks of Prostate Cancer Screening Screening tests have risks. Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer. The risks of prostate screening include the following: Finding prostate cancer may not improve health or help a man live longer. Screening may not improve your health or help you live longer if you have cancer that has already spread to the area outside of the prostate or to other places in your body. Some cancers never cause symptoms or become life-threatening, but if found by a screening test, the cancer may be treated. Finding these cancers is called overdiagnosis. It is not known if treatment of these cancers would help you live longer than if no treatment were given, and treatments for cancer, such as surgery and radiation therapy, may have serious side effects. Some studies of patients with prostate cancer showed these patients had a higher risk of death from cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease or suicide. The risk was greatest the first year after diagnosis. Follow-up tests, such as a biopsy, may be done to diagnose cancer. If a PSA test is higher than normal, a biopsy of the prostate may be done. Complications from a biopsy of the prostate may include fever, pain, blood in the urine or semen, and urinary tractinfection. Even if a biopsy shows that a patient does not have prostate cancer, he may worry more about developing prostate cancer in the future. False-negative test results can occur. Screening test results may appear to be normal even though prostate cancer is present. A man who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay seeking medical care even if he has symptoms. False-positive test results can occur. Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by more tests, (such as biopsy) which also have risks. Your doctor can advise you about your risk for prostate cancer and your need for screening tests.

Changes to This Summary (05/13/2011) The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above. Changes were made to this summary to match those made to the health professional version. Questions or Comments About This Summary If you have questions or comments about this summary, please send them to Cancer.gov through the Web site's Contact Form. We can respond only to email messages written in English. About PDQ PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site. PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research. PDQ contains cancer information summaries. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information. The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly. Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change. PDQ also contains information on clinical trials. A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether a method of finding cancer earlier can help people to live longer. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients and those who are at risk for cancer. During screening clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new screening method and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new method is better than one currently being used, the new method may become "standard." People who are at high risk for a certain type of cancer may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

The atomic balldrop is a rare phenomenon that occurs when the subject defenestrates his lover, and follows her into free-fall, catches up to her, defying gravity, and proceeds to initiate midair coitus.
So, I tried the atomic balldrop, but before I could finish, we landed in a dumpster. She definitely did not finish either.

REVIEW: The Big Wedding
The first hint this one's a stinker: I was invited to one screening, on a Thursday night, more than 4 hours AFTER this movie review was due!!
There's uber star power: Oscar winners Robert DeNiro; Susan Sarandon; Diane Keaton and Robin Williams , along with Amanda Seyfried , Katherine Heigl and "That 70's Show" alumn Topher Grace. But the plot is beyond believable. It's as formulaic as they come.
A dysfucntioal family gathers for the wedding of the youngest-of-three, a son adopted from
Robin Williams is wasted as a recovering alcoholic Catholic Priest. How can you have Robin Williams be unfunny??? All you gotta do is let the man riff! That's how bad this movie is.
The only plus in this all-star-cast film: blessedly there's only 90 minutes to survive.

This gray Michigan wolf travel souvenir stuffed animal is embroidered with its state name, a fish replacing the "I" in Michigan and a pine tree replacing the "A". Before European settlement, the gray wolf lived in most of North America. They were almost completely eliminated by the 1930's, and only a small amount survived in Michigan and Minnesota. In January 2012, wolves in Michigan and Minnesota were removed from the federal Endangered Species list. Every Souvies is unique to the region it represents, making it the perfect travel souvenir or gift.
Every Michigan wolf travel souvenir measures about eight inches – head to toe, and about seven inches wide – paw to paw.

A sexual act in which a couple gorges on spicy Mexican foot in the evening in preparation for sex later that night. Later in the night, the couple engage in sex doggy style and the woman develops uncontrollable, blow out diarrhea. At this point, the man grabs her arms, pulls them back behind her, and revs her like a dirt while she sprays feces all over the both of them (much like revving a dirt bike stuck in the mud)!
I knew Carla was kinky when she agreed to perform the dirt bike with me.

About this font family
A collection of DIN Mittelschrift variants where parts of the letters have been removed to create different effects. The Plain font is included if you buy the family pack, and can be mixed in.
The DINfun Pro fonts are special versions of the classic DIN 1451 Mittelschrift, far removed from the original typeface's serious and no-nonsense roots. I have made them as companions to the classic, with some some very different expressions, complete with a large multilingual character set. Time to spice up that DIN profile! :)
ALL fonts from CheapProFonts have very extensive language support: More…

1. A copy of your assignment
2. A hard copy of your draft (no laptops, please!), if your draft is what you would like to work on.
3. Your questions and concerns!
If you schedule an appointment but are unable to attend, please let us know ASAP. Thanks!
Who we are.....
The Writing Center is a relaxed, informal, and comfortable space where writers can talk about their writing concerns with professional and peer writing consultants who are willing to listen, share, and respond.
We believe that what writers need most is an informed audience of readers as well as active discussion about how good writing happens. The goal of these writing conversations is not necessarily to perfect a given paper so much as it is to help students learn about their own processes as they work through the writing assigned in their classes.
Students who use the Writing Center on a regular basis tend to develop a heightened awareness of their process, discover a variety of strategies for working through papers, and thus develop stronger pieces of writing.

I don't miss school, but I'd take some baseball courses if they were available, that's for sure (or maybe I'd teach them….)
Wow. I would fail all those courses at LAAU! No way I could make a glove from scratch, for starters. I love that Wells picks up the tab for dinners. I'd be willing to sign up for that course!
Mike – Fortunately my little mash up of spring training and my course catalogs is all baseball all the time and strange goings on in the clubhouse, but not exactly school. I think coaching baseball like you do is teaching a baseball course and it gives kids one of the learning experiences that's guaranteed to stick with them into adulthood.
Jane – Yeah, I wouldn't even apply…unless they had a course auditing policy where I could just be a fly on the wall and watch it all happen.
I took more Econ classes than I can remember. One thing I've learned, if trickle down economics works in Angels camp, that's the only place it's ever worked.
I did see that Trumbo hit another HR today, so that class is working.
What a good prank by Weaver! I gotta seriously try that… now, if I could just get my hands on a scoreboard…
Russel – Oh, trickle down economics aren't even working in my farcical scenario. The rookies aren't getting any richer, just dinner…and a few laughs. Yeah, I'm liking that Trumbo kid. He can stay, at least for April.
Jeff – If any blogger could get access to a scoreboard, my money would be on you or Al…as Tigers fans everywhere look at the scoreboard and say "Al uses double dream hands?! WTF!" or, you know, the reverse in St. Louis.
This is a very simple game…
Not sure why, but pitching always seems to be a bit behind during Spring training, especially in the relief corps. Maybe it is that layoff of no side sessions or Bullpen session withy someone staring you down from behind making sure you hit your spots.
Or maybe it is just as simple as hitting seems to accelerate through the Spring games while pitching refines its grips, angles and dips. Whatever the true reason, it is why I do not get upset in the Spring if the relievers give away a game.
Even the pressure of the situation has to again be garnered, administered and taken with a grain of sea salt. Worst thing is, there is 3 weeks until the regular season, and you always hope about this time things go North instead of South….But as fans, we worry about the little things, even the velocity and drop of a breaking ball…That is what we do.
Great mixture of academic with the game….
Rays Renegade
Thanks Rays Renegade! As usual, what you say makes a lot of sense…and, as you say, I'll keep right on worrying over it anyway as we all do. :)
This is a very simple game…

David Rakoff wrote the bestsellers Fraud, Don't Get Too Comfortable and Half Empty. A two-time recipient of the Lambda Literary Award and winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor, he was a regular contributor to Public Radio International's This American Life. His writing frequently appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, Wired, Salon, GQ, Outside, Gourmet, Vogue, and Slate, among other publications. An accomplished stage and screen actor, playwright, and screenwriter, he adapted the screenplay for and starred in Joachim Back's film The New Tenants, which won the 2010 Oscar for Best Live Action Short. He died in August 2012 at the age of 47, shortly after finishing this book.
"Writing like this can only be a positive experience for all concerned. . . . File Rakoff under 'essayist, brilliant.'" —The New York Times
"Some people believe in the power of positive thinking. The rest of us believe in David Rakoff." —Daily Candy
"Tough, suave, dry, and very funny." —The Paris Review
"Rakoff wanders among our cultural myths, piercing them with a finely sharpened sarcasm. . . . As Rakoff tenderly probes his fears, he makes clear that for all his detachment, he is part of our tribe. He's just funnier than most of us." —The Miami Herald
"A pure pleasure to read." —The Observer's Very Short List
"One of our funniest writers." —People
"Right now, this country is brimming over with kindness—some real, some feigned. It is wit, unfeigned, that is gasping for air. . . . For the sake of the future, come back soon, David Rakoff." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Full of wit." —NPR, "Fresh Air"
"Rakoff can issue a withering snark with the best of them. But once his rapier wit has sliced the buttons off his target's clothing, revealing the quivering, vulnerable mass within, his fundamental sense of decency gets the best of him." —Salon
"Half Empty balances its darker aspects with wickedly amusing takes on a variety of subjects." —The Toronto Star
"If you love the personal essay, you'll love David Rakoff's musings." —The Baltimore Sun
"Rakoff is so keenly observant and dead-on with his criticism, you get the impression most of our eyes would cross and cartoon birds fly above our heads before we could make it halfway to the elegant, smart conclusions he draws. . . . A writerly collection to make giddy even the most erudite lover of words. An undisputed KO for negative thinking." —Booklist
"Rakoff manages to make pessimism sexy. . . . While Rakoff seems to revel in his role as a modern-day Thomas Hobbes, it's evident that he remains responsible in his critique, never trouncing a subject without provocation while simultaneously opening the reader's eyes to everyday lunacy." —Kirkus Reviews

My 6th grader has been assigned the task of building a submarine for under $50 out of a 2 liter bottle. It must submerge, go forward and backward. These are the mandatory requirements.
So I came to you guys as the experts in subs.
We were looking at http://www.instructables.com/id/RC-Subm ... an-RC-Car/ , but I think we need a better propeller/motor system. Does any one have any suggestions? A cheap wtc built with a lego propeller system in it that will aid the bottle to go up and down?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Does anyone have any recent sales or purchasing information that I could use for an insurance dispute. I had a 2006 2220 Professional with a Yamaha 200 HDPI with 275 hours. Dual axle aluminum trailer, custom T-Top, leaning post with rod holders, electronics etc...All gear was very well maintained and worked. Even though it was my rig, I'd give it an overall 4+ on condition with a 5 being excellent. In my opinion, the only way to have a 5 is to buy it new or with less than 50 hours.
Really would appreciate some feed back if anyone has any to provide.

(CNN) -- Welcome to The Big Three -- a CNN Radio podcast on the big three stories of the week, featuring three contributors who write for CNN Opinion -- myself, my bride, Margaret Hoover, and political comedian Dean Obeidallah, who is of no relation (as far as we know).
We each come to the conversation from a different perspective -- center, right and left -- but we all share a commitment to smart, funny, civil conversation. And we're all big Yalta buffs.
To listen, click on the Soundcloud audio player on this page. Or find us on iTunes.
The Big Three stories of this week: the 10th anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, the Republican Party's attempt to modernize and President Barack Obama's trip to Israel.
Iraq: With Margaret as a veteran of the Bush administration and Dean an Arab-American, there are sharp disagreements on the impact of the Iraq War. I remain darkly fascinated by the enduring partisan divide over whether the war was a mistake -- with conservatives and liberals taking mirror image positions, and centrists and independents like myself pushing national opinion over to the mistake side of the ledger.
One contemporary question: Is intervention fatigue slowing America's impulse to stop the slaughter in Syria, where more than 70,000 have been killed while the world watches?
GOP modernization: With the Republican Party releasing an "autopsy" report on the mistakes that were made throughout the 2012 election, Margaret is marking the release of the paperback edition of her book "American Individualism: How a New Generation of Conservatives Can Save the Republican Party."
After the paranoid-style party I saw at the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend, she's got her work cut out for her -- but with Sen. Rob Portman coming out in support of the freedom for same-sex couples to marry, there just might be some hope at the end of this culture war conflict.
Obama in Israel: After being attacked throughout the election as being a weak ally to Israel, Obama was given the red carpet treatment this week. But his newfound friendship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu masks a time of real tension and high stakes throughout the region -- including the prospect of protests over stalled peace talks, a potentially nuclear Iran and the bloodshed in Syria.
Is this the environment in which a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can succeed?

Concept to Code
The DNA of our industry is rapidly evolving. Devices are multiplying like a zombie plague; once immutable patterns are being challenged; interface conventions are changing at an incredible pace; and, all the while, our documentation is struggling to stay relevant. This constant flux can be enough to make you want to quit and buy a farm. But one thing remains constant through it all: user experiences are forged in code. Even industrial design can't escape its reach. Code is the material that breathes life into a user experience, so we ought to get familiar with it.
Ill Communication
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
- Alvin Toffler, Rethinking the Future
The UX community has been atwitter recently about whether designers should know how to code. While programming is an invaluable skill to have at your disposal, it's not a skill we all have the need or opportunity to acquire.
But as UX professionals we are learning, unlearning, and relearning things all the time. We do it to understand the needs of our users, keep abreast of changes in our field, and communicate effectively with our clients. Understanding code is no different. And that understanding is the first step towards nurturing a healthy code literacy.
What exactly do you mean by code literacy?
First, here's my favorite definition of literacy (my emphasis):
[T]he ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute and use printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society.
More on the "continuum of learning" later, but let's also examine a reasonably terse definition of code:
[A] rule for converting a piece of information (for example a letter, word phrase or gesture) into another form or representation.
- Wikipedia
Wonderful. Now, if you delicately splice (read: mash) those two together, you might say code literacy is:
the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, and use rules that shape and reshape information in order to participate fully in the creation of new information.
Doesn't sound far from what us UX professionals practice on a daily basis to produce our deliverables, does it?
How Literate Should We Be?
As with any other UX skill, the degree of literacy you require will vary. Just as not all of us need to master visual design, not all of us need to master code. But just as we all take care to understand the principles of visual design, we should also take care to understand the principles of code. An understanding of principles and mastery are the two bookends on our continuum of learning, but they aren't the whole story. So let's explore four archetypes that exist along the continuum.
The enthusiast
Enthusiasts understand the principles of code, and no more. They may have tried their hands at writing code once or twice, but didn't necessarily enjoy it—at least not yet. Most importantly, they understand the thought and process that goes into writing code. Remember when you were first exploring user experience? Enthusiasts can:
- grok the vocabulary
- understand basic programming concepts
- engage in meaningful conversations about development
They might even be able to intuit the difference between good and bad code.
If you work closely with an engineering or development team, achieving this degree of code literacy will allow you to communicate more effectively with them. It will also increase your empathy for what it takes to implement your designs.
What is the difference between a model, view, and controller? How much work does it take to create a new build of the application after they make a change you request? What does the debugging process look like? These are the sorts of questions an enthusiast seeks answers to. As those questions are answered, you'll understand code—the material of user experience—much better. You'll find that you begin to design solutions that are both more effective in delivering a user experience and more efficient to implement. The end product will improve.
The mash-up artist
Further along the continuum are the mash-up artists—people whose code curiosity has blossomed. They've learned enough about code and feel comfortable enough to start playing with it. Mash-up artists are able to:
- read and understand short blocks of code
- articulate the basic differences between languages
- cut, paste, and make small alterations to code
- use code to communicate pieces of functionality
This level is where code literacy really starts to provide you with a sense of agency. Have you ever seen a final implementation of something and wanted to tweak a few things? When you are code literate, it becomes much easier to just hop right in and make some changes yourself. You wouldn't be taking that code straight to production, for sure, but you will have the ability to show, not tell, someone what you were thinking.
Mash-up artists can also begin to create interactive prototypes of specific features. Coding at this level is very much like designing using only design patterns. A mash-up artist will re-appropriate found code for their own use, often to help communicate a concept or explore an idle thought. They might be limited in their ability to customize the result, but when they provide the right context the coded prototype can be a very effective tool for communicating a new idea.
The inventor
The inventor is well equipped for an environment where UX best practices are non-existent or in a constant state of flux. The inventor knows:
- at least one language enough to write code from scratch
- what is and is not possible in a language
- the difference between good and bad code
- how much effort is required to make changes to code
- how to code a prototype of anything
At Nitobi, our UX team is small, and we work in the volatile medium of mobile. This is fertile ground for inventors. The Nitobi UX team often takes a project from concept to code: we help to define the scope and strategy of a project, conduct user research, draft wireframes, test our ideas with prototypes, and then design and code the final UI. Oftentimes, our front-end code will go all the way to production. As inventors, we mitigate risks by taking an idea from concept to code; it allows us to quickly separate the good designs from the bad.
The wizard
Wizards are the developers that you respect and admire. The bulk of us will never achieve that level of code literacy and still call ourselves UX professionals. In short, the wizard:
- can learn any language they need for a job
- knows which language is best for the job
- knows exactly what is and is not possible
- is able to conjure anything they want
If you are a wizard when it comes to code, but consider yourself a UX professional, well… let's just say I'm pleased that you read this far.
Ways to Start Thinking About Code
If you don't think you're on the continuum yet, wading into code can seem a little bit intimidating, so let's look at a few ways you might start thinking about code.
Code as pattern
We love design patterns, don't we? Well, so do programmers. In fact, they have been using patterns for longer than we have. What we both love about patterns is that they distill a common use case into something simple and prescriptive. And while design patterns in code typically refer to organizing concepts, code itself is very pattern-like. Code is nothing more than a series of patterns that don't just represent something, they do something.
Code as material
I've referred a number of times to code as the material of user experience. Taking that idea further, it's important to recognize that each language has a very unique set of strengths and weaknesses—its material properties. Designing for different languages is like sculpting in different materials. Just as a sculptor wouldn't attempt the same form in ice as she would in marble, you should be wary of attempting the same project in JavaScript as you would in Java.
Code as narrative
In scripting languages such as Ruby, code blocks are, at moments, so close to plain English they can read like a Joyce novel. This means that you begin to describe the user experience and requirements, and also see how they play out on screen. As a result, you can start to notice holes in the logic and begin to refine your description.
Code as play
Once you hit a certain degree of code literacy, believe it or not, writing code becomes really fun. And we all know that play is an important part of incubation. The other day, on a lark, I noticed that you can get hilarious results replacing the word "open" with "sean penn." It then took me a few seconds to write a bookmarklet that would do just that on any web page. While the product of play itself may be useless—and believe me, mine was—that sort of play can lead to plenty of valuable insights and discovery.
From Concept to Code
Even as an enthusiast, understanding the material of UX can help you have more meaningful discussions about development. Whether you seek to improve your designs, increase your ability to communicate new ideas, or build working prototypes, code literacy can help you achieve a higher quality end product. As UX faces a series of massive changes, our shed of tools should be changing as well, and code literacy of any degree is an invaluable addition to your repertoire as you steward a user experience from concept to code.

Nice post! I think your description of different roles would also be a helpful conceptual structure for teachers structuring their classes, as classes in my experience tend to focus narrowly on coding, design or learning how to use a program. When teaching novices, aiming for a 'enthusiast' level, I think, would make a lot more sense, in terms of inspiring novices to reach the point where coding becomes fun.
I always shy away from terms like
'wizard' or 'rock star', but I do fit into the category of 'great at UX AND great at writing code'.
At the moment I am working for a client who hired me to design and build a complex engineering product: Rich client front end, java back end.
It's nice work when I can get it.
I think it is a great way to structure teams with 'process owners' who can work on things end-to-end versus having to hand off a feature to multiple people/teams to get it done.
The problem is that roles tend to be much more silo-ed. When was the last time you saw a job req for 'expert in UX design AND expert at writing code'?
So, although as a UX person it is great to understand code, getting too good as a software developer will often make it harder to get work since there is almost always a bright line drawn between 'designers' and 'developers'.
I'm the mash up artist. I find that when I think with a detailed knowledge of code it yields a different design than when thinking in terms of design patterns - the ideas do not flow as freely. It is usually better to work in tandem, with myself approaching from a ux pattern and meeting in the middle with the ideas coders bring to the table. The division of labor works for me! The gap from ux pattern to code can be a wide gap for many projects.
Nice post. One of the things I love about UX is that people come to the field from so many different disciplines. As a designer/developer of 8-10 years, I think I'd call myself an Inventor. I agree with you. I think a healthy understanding of code can be really useful in not only communicating but in planning for interactions.
Nice encapsulation of the roles of a UX designer. I totally agree that a designer who understands and knows the concepts inherit in different programming languages will be more able to help development along and achieve a higher quality end-product and have a smoother project flow. The stereotypical "Engineer VS. Designer" clash shouldn't exist anymore... But I do think that the spectrum of designers is very wide as you've laid out – the enthusiast/mash-up artist/wizard. You never know who you're going to get! Maybe you could add one more category before the enthusiast, which is the clueless...
Anyways, thanks for the article :) Me and my project team always talk about this topic actually!
