The Benghazi cover-up continues. Now instead of just President Obama deceiving the American people and Congress with mob demonstrations stories over a remote movie, now Hillary Clinton joins the mendacity.
She was not accurate about the status of State Department employees, who mishandling the Benghazi killing of four citizens. She announced the resignation of a deputy secretary of state and others who were dismissed because of incompetence. Now these same employees have been reinstated with full salaries and different titles, a rearrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
It is strange that Hillary, a tough campaigner, had completely disappeared even before her strange illness and a following concussion resulting in an announced blood clot in her brain.
She finally will testify before Congress today. Let's hope it is a timely and honest report for the congressional committee.
Hillary currently has a 71 percent approval rating among Democrats as their next candidate for president. How she handles what I believe to be a cover-up, continuing to withhold the truth, may well affect her approval rating. That is, if the press would ever criticize any Democrat.
What do we want to know from the secretary of state? How about the source of that foolish "up to date" security briefing provided to the ambassador of the United Nations, which she repeated five times to Sunday talk shows? Why was she selected and sacrificed with faulty intelligence? Obama mentioned the same crap seven times in his speech to the United Nations several days after the event. He suffered no criticism. It was clear to even the most uninformed that the attack was organized and planned to kill our people in Libya, and wasn't a protest mob.
Other questions: Mrs. Clinton, did you ever delay scheduling your appearance before Congress for any reason than medical? If so, could it be that Mr. Obama needed time to get your story straight? Why did you make the faulty announcement about your staff, knowing they were to be reassigned? Do you think that Sen.r Graham should hold up the president's nominations for secretary of defense and the director of the CIA until the real story about the Benghazi deaths comes out? What did Hillary and Obama know and when did they know it?
The people and Congress have a right to know.
Let's face it, the whole Benghazi episode was a colossal tragedy of errors. It appears that Obama should be under fire for the Benghazi cover-up, or "crew-up." Transparency has never been a virtue of the Obama administration.
Is Hillary following our prevaricating president? Why was the limited information about Benghazi and the rest of the story not disclosed until after the election (as though we didn't know)?
Also, why did the president leave Washington early the next morning for a Las Vegas fundraiser? It's unbecoming behavior for a president to skip town for a fundraiser after the death of an important American official. One might think he had something to hide. Obama still hasn't mentioned Benghazi in any campaign speeches, current speeches, or press conferences since.
It's as though it never happened. Obama apparently assumes that if ignored, it will go away, and the mainstream press are coconspirators.
Congress is mandated by the Constitution to have oversight over the government, including Obama and Clinton's behavior. Are the members so afraid of this president that they will allow him to totally destroy the Constitution? How many sections and rights can we afford to let Obama gut in our Constitution before they act? It's time for Congress to stand up and be counted. They should also put a lid on spending. After all, they are supposed to control the pursestrings.
There are so many Obama abuses of power that they could fill an entire "Vail Daily" or several editions. This president has yet to find an American tradition or a congressional limitation he likes. These abuses exist because we have a spineless Congress and a weak Supreme Court that does nothing.
King Obama will continue these abuses until he is confronted and stopped. For now, however, is the time to focus on Obama's Watergate, the "Benghazi-gate."

SAN JOSE -- As usual, the father parked his car on the street Wednesday morning and went to work. But when he returned early that night, the man discovered a tragedy that can only be described as a parent's worst nightmare.
His 9-month-old son was still strapped into his child seat after being left in the hot car all day. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The father went to work and just forgot that the infant was in the car," said San Jose Police spokeswoman Sgt. Heather Randol. "It's a tragic situation for that family and the community. I can't imagine what that family is going through."
San Jose Police Department officers were summoned about 7:15 p.m. to the 3700 block of Payne Avenue for a report of an unresponsive infant inside a vehicle. Investigators have not said how many hours the child was in the car.
The preliminary investigation indicates the infant's father accidentally took him to a West San Jose residence where he picks up a truck for his job -- forgetting to drop the child off with a babysitter.
Joe Nijmeh, who lives at the Payne Avenue residence, described the father, who has two other children, as a good man who is grief-stricken.
"He's a very responsible father and just so proud of the baby," Nijmeh said. "It was like a gift from heaven for them. He usually takes the baby to the babysitter and then goes to work. But something went wrong in the communication."
Nijmeh, 63, recently broke his leg and cares for his 94-year-old father. But he also is heartbroken because he had no idea the baby was outside his house.
"I feel terrible because I was inside here all day and the baby was in the car," he said. "But I didn't know."
Homicide detectives were called to the scene and are investigating the case, which is routine procedure whenever a child dies in Santa Clara County. No arrest had been made Thursday, Randol said, but the case is expected to be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office. The child's identity was not released as of Thursday afternoon.
Weather records show that San Jose saw a high of 79 degrees Wednesday. But even at that temperature, the heat in an enclosed vehicle can quickly escalate into triple digits, said Jan Null, who is a certified consulting meteorologist.
"After just a half hour, it would have been 114 degrees in the car," said Null, who also is a lecturer at San Francisco State. "After an hour, the temperature would have been 125 degrees. It just doesn't have to be a real hot day for it to get extremely hot inside a car."
Null, who has extensively researched the issue of heatstroke-related death in vehicles, said there were 44 such juvenile deaths last year nationwide. Since 1998, there have been 606 deaths nationally, including 40 in California, Null added. The most recent death in San Jose came in July, 2001 when a 5-month-old boy died in a vehicle. The father was convicted of involuntarily manslaughter and ordered to perform community service.
Wednesday's incident appears to be the first death in the country this year.
About 52 percent of these fatalities are the result of when a child is simply forgotten in the car by a parent or caregiver -- which experts say can be a commonplace occurrence.
"These tragedies happen because parents are stressed, busy and get out of their routine," said Dr. Adella Garland, medical director of Trauma Services, in a statement. "Every year it happens to parents with the best intentions, to parents at all economic levels and across all ethnicities."
And the problem is much greater than most people realize, Null added.
"But the more awareness that comes from tragedies like this, the more lives that might be saved," Null said.
Never leave a child alone in a car, even for a minute.
Place something you'll need like a cellphone or handbag in the backseat.
Get in the habit of opening back door just to make sure a child hasn't been left behind.
Keep stuffed animal in child's car seat when unoccupied. Then place it in front passenger seat when child is in safety seat as a visual reminded that the child is in the car.
Make arrangements with day-care center or babysitter to always call if the child has not arrived on a scheduled day.
If you see a child alone in a vehicle, get involved. If they seem hot or sick, get them out or call 911.

Lately, I've been thinking about what the free software movement is really about. Is it really just a bunch of guys who work with code, releasing it under a particular type of license? We seem to talk a great deal about "freedom" and insist that what separates free software from open source or proprietary is this philosophical, ethical, and legal insistence on total freedom for the user. All right; but is this all there is to it? Or should free software programmers and devotees start thinking about bigger issues, and making more serious contributions to society than just improving its code base? Should we "focus on coding" and just hope that society improves by osmosis? Personally, I find this outlook is becoming increasingly unsatisfying. I think this movement needs to expand its horizon and start exploring more direct ways to change the world we live in. I think the Free Software Movement must be about a life choice, not merely a software licensing choice.
What I'd like to do here is offer some possible steps towards a more total free software movement. What I have in mind specifically is some ethical standards and practices free software hackers could possibly set for themselves that set them radically apart from the rest of society. Many can say that the free software movement should be about more than the code of computers; it should be about a code of honor, akin to the chivalric code of Medieval knights, perhaps, but probably more similar to the code lived under by Franciscan monks. My contention is that by logically extending the principles of free software to other aspects of life, we end up with a much stronger movement.
Keep in mind that what I am proposing is definitely not for everyone. However, some hackers out there could in fact get some inspiration. I will refer to a hackers who want to follow this path "Knights of Free Software."
What would such a life look like from the outside? First off, it would be important to undertake a "vow of non-ownership." What I mean is that knights would not only refuse to own any proprietary software, but also to own any property whatsoever. He or she should accept only as much in the form of donations as absolutely necessary to survive and continue programming or enlightening others. Once these bare minimums of subsistence are reached, a knight should kindly refuse additional donations. All luxuries, such as fancy cars, expensive clothes, and the like should be avoided as well. Any "luxury" or "commodity" acquired out of some desire rather than merely to fulfill a necessity is a dangerous trap--a lure back into the closed, greedy society that true knights are committed to changing. Furthermore, many people will donate to such a worthy order if they are convinced of the sincerity of its followers.
Besides a vow of poverty and subsequent lifestyle, knights should also practice selflessness. What I mean by this is that these knights should not be concerned about pride and winning admiration, but rather about acting in all ways selflessly, with humility. A knight should act in such a way as to always benefit others, whether that be in the form of coding or informing others about the movement. This will be best achieved if they come together to elect experienced people to direct their activities. Many folks new to FS are confused about a number of important tenants of the movement, and may resist. For example, an apprentice knight (i.e., a "squire") might still find it "necessary" to use Internet Explorer or to continue to buy and own frivolous items. This behavior would conflict with the code, and these squires would need to understand that even though they still think such things are acceptable, for the sake of the movement, they will cease them as long as they wish to retain their knight status. The idea here is that once they realize they really don't "need" such things, it won't be a problem to continue avoiding them.
The final vow is to make every effort, whenever possible, to inform and challenge others who do not live in accordance to these principles. This should never be done in a violent or insulting way, but only in a helpful, informative and dialectical manner. For instance, if someone is seen using Internet Explorer, the knight should ask, "Why are you using that program?" and from there, very patiently, attempt to lead the person to the better way. This same tendency can be applied to other situations. For instance, if a person owns a gas-guzzling SUV, or is contemplating buying one, or is simply interested in acquiring wealth, the knight should engage in another round of questioning and debates (with an eye towards helping the person discover the truth). "Why do you desire to buy a vehicle that will drain your resources and destroy the environment you live in?" "Why do you desire more money than you need to survive?" With enough effort, the person can be shown that they are merely enslaved to their own foolish desire for wealth and envy, and if they really want to be free, they will learn to control these irrational impulses.
My contention is that if there were a movement that really embraced these principles, it would have a much greater impact on the world and society. People would eventually become impressed by the lifestyle of these Knights of Free Software and likely become much more sympathetic to the movement. Of course, these knights might also be exposed to much ridicule and hatred, but their cool reserve and compassion for even those who hate them will only boost them in the eyes of others.
Last vow
Last vow: stop using computers ?
A computer is a "luxury" you know.
Not quite...
IF you play games with your computer that is partly true, at least. But to most of us who make a living using computers such a statement is immature. Not to mention that the world is more and more (though slowly) becoming dependent on this technology. Computers, nowadays, are hardly a luxury. Try typing your-much-needed documents with your type writer and tell us again. ;P
Thanks, but no thanks.
I am sorry, but I for one will have none of it, for the following reasons:
(1) I don't believe that programmers are any better qualified to tell society what it "ought" to be like than anybody else.
What Programmers *can* do is set an example of how to respond when *their* freedoms are encroached on, and present an alternative to closed-source software with it's associated bottled-water salesmen ethics. This is essentially what Open Source is all about. Giving people a choice instead of telling them what to do.
(2) As to the idea of turning programmers into "evangelists", I shudder at the thought of having people who aren't necessarily educated beyond coding tell the world how they feel it ought to behave. We have enough political parties for that. And ... speaking in European terms, Open Source programmers span the political spectrum from the Greens to Social-Democrats to Christian parties (and only seem to appeal to "Conservative" parties in a cost-benefit sense). Would you really want to try and have a big political as to which political faction Open Source should embrace, and which political stream should be allowed to claim Open Source as its exclusive domain? If you were to succeed, this would likely mean the marginalisation of Open Source in political terms.
(3) Supporting the ideals of "Open Source" isn't a religion, it's sometimes an ethical choice, often a practical choice, and in many cases a cold-hearted calculating business choice. Open Source merely follows those practices that have made Science what it is today: visible and open to criticism by anyone who is willing (and able) to take the time and effort to understand it. In addition, Open Source makes often sense from a business and development perspective, _regardless_ of one's ethics. After all ... how much of the corporate contributions (IBM, SUN, Novell, as in Open Office, Java, the JFS, power-pc enhancements) were made by people who have taken a vow of poverty?
I fear that associating Open Source with a "vow of poverty" will mean the kiss of death to its credibility in the world, starting with the corporate world, the mainstream press, public opinion, and working downwards from that. Would you truly want to give Microsoft the opportunity to tell people: "You can deal with us or with those loony anti-capitalist vow-of-poverty zealots?" and not have it be FUD? Just after Open Source has begun to gain wide-spread credibility in Government, Industry, Academia, *and* the public consciousness?
Well ... I don't, and I hope that this idea of yours dies a quick and, above all, _silent_ death.
Fundamentally I agree... but
a software community driven morality can only take you so far... Real religions, in the times when they were introduced had a set a techings/values/ideals which had the power to transform because their prime concern was spiritual in nature. Software development on the other hand is not specifically spiritual...although I would be the first to admit that the FLOSS community embodies many positive 'spiritual' principles.
Really interesting
I like your ideas. Some might argue that they are overly idealistic but I believe that every great change has been fueled in large degree by idealism.
One thing I'm not clear on. When you say the knights wouldn't own property, do you mean any property or property in excess? I think some property would be necessary, obviously a computer and clothes, also arguably a refrigerator and stove. Land could also prove useful for growing one's own food which would make it possible for the knight to live on even less actual money. I'm assuming the knights would be allowed to have families so only renting might not be practical for one's whole life. Perhaps they could own modest shelter of some sort such as a small house or a yurt. Those are just some things that came to mind.
I hope your ideas are accepted and The Knights of Free Software becomes a reality. I would love to see this grow and develop in the future.
--Faith Mansell
Computers as Luxuries
I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'm surprised to see anyone who still thinks of computers as luxury items. I'd say that any item that you need as part of a job isn't a luxury, but a tool. If the tool also doubles as an entertainment device, what of it? The important thing is the utility it can serve.
It'd even make sense for someone to claim a game console as a tool if the device could be put to good use. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've seen lots of people claiming that in many cases it's more cost effective to hack a game box into a GNU/Linux machine than it is to buy a dedicated computer. If these modded boxes were used to provide cheaper computing power to poor people, why not?
Finally, I'm not sure I'm willing to say that games are purely unnecessary. I think we learn a lot about who we are as people by playing games. Who could imagine our society without chess, for instance? Many of the best games allow us a fun way to test ourselves and keep our mental skills sharp.
FSF Knights = Good ideas gone off course
"I'd say that any item that you need as part of a job isn't a luxury, but a tool. If the tool also doubles as an entertainment device, what of it?"
If you look at it the right way, you could also use this statement to ruin the argument against SUV's? (Not that I specifically support SUV's.)
In truth computers ARE a luxury. How do I know this? Because there are millions of people that are still able to survive without them. Turn your computer off... you will still live.
Also, I see no conflict between Free Software and aquiring wealth. Some people aquire wealth in ethical ways, some don't. So please try not to clump everyone that is wealthy in the same catagory, Mr. Shuttleworth and I don't appreciate it.
Responding to Some Good Points
I'm really happy to see that people are engaging with this post, even if they don't necessarily support all of the ideas behind it. I'll try to take a few of the issues folks have raised here and see if I can resolve a few of them.
I don't believe that programmers are any better qualified to tell society what it "ought" to be like than anybody else. As to the idea of turning programmers into "evangelists", I shudder at the thought of having people who aren't necessarily educated beyond coding tell the world how they feel it ought to behave.
Ideally, these knights would never "tell somebody what do to," except for their squires, who have requested that they do so! Please don't think I'm advocating some Jeremiad here. As I mentioned in the post, the knight would only ask the person questions, engaging him in a debate--and hopefully helping that person improve his thinking.
I could tell someone, "Hey, don't buy an SUV," but why should she listen? The only way I can really convince someone not to buy do so would be to offer compelling and persuasive reasons not to. A sample dialog might run something like this:
Q: "Why do you feel you need a SUV?"
A: "Because they're really cool."
Q: "What is it about them that makes them seem so desirable to you?"
A: "Hmmm...I guess because they're a status symbol."
Q: "So, would you say that it's really other people that want the SUV, and you want it to make them jealous of you?"
A: "Well, I don't know..."
So, in this vein, the knight can go on at some length, until the person either decides not to buy the SUV or will at least agree to put it off and think it over.
Supporting the ideals of "Open Source" isn't a religion, it's sometimes an ethical choice, often a practical choice, and in many cases a cold-hearted calculating business choice.
Who said anything about open source? I really have nothing to say about it. I'm concerned only with the free software movement, which is far more idealistic than open source by design.
Software development on the other hand is not specifically spiritual...although I would be the first to admit that the FLOSS community embodies many positive 'spiritual' principles.
Yes, I agree with this statement. In fact, this is basically the reason I envisioned the "knights" in the first place. The FS advocates I've met are very morally upright people, even if they don't necessarily claim to be "spiritual." What the knights could do is extend these tendencies and hopefully work on creating a more "spiritual" base for the movement, though I'd hope that anyone involved in this wouldn't look to a supernatural being for help. This is a movement about people helping people, not people begging a supernatural force to help them.
When you say the knights wouldn't own property, do you mean any property or property in excess? I think some property would be necessary, obviously a computer and clothes, also arguably a refrigerator and stove.
I've been thinking about this issue very carefully. What I'd like to suggest is that there's a difference in needing something to use it, and needing something to "own" it. For instance, a farmer doesn't necessarily need to claim private ownership of a plow to use it. He could freely choose to freely share the plow with whoever else needed it, provided they were of the same sharing mindset.
All I'm really doing is trying to apply the same "share and share alike" of the GPL to every kind of "property." I think that the minute we start saying, "Well, THIS is mine, and THAT is mine," we've lost something. A knight might say, "I'm the one using this computer now," but would gladly share it with anyone else when he or she wasn't using it.
Off track
Q: "Why do you feel you need a SUV?"
A: "Because they're really cool."
Q: "What is it about them that makes them seem so desirable to you?"
A: "Hmmm...I guess because they're a status symbol."
Q: "So, would you say that it's really other people that want the SUV, and you want it to make them jealous of you?"
A: "Well, I don't know..."
No offense, but real life conversations do not go like this, and you can rarely convince emotional people to change their minds with logic.
Intellectual property is a myth, so please stop refering to it as such. Software is not property at all, it is information.
Also, you appear to be confusing FS with communism. Free software is not communism (farmer sharing his plow). When I give you the software I created, I still have the perfect/unmodified original, and have lost nothing. If I give you the plow I created, I HAVE lost something, and you may potentially damage it.
I am a vegetarian and I drive a 4 cylinder vehicle. Do I wish to convert others to these things? No, for two reasons. First is because FSF people are looked upon as "cultish" enough without any extras. Second is because it spreads my time and resources to thin. I care more about _digital_ freedom in the future than I care about the others. If you care more about something besides _digital_ freedom, I suggest you concentrate on that instead.
I ask you to please stop all of this. We just need people to continue writing code, writing documentation, and continue to help bring others to _digital_ freedom. Anything else is a Non FSF issue.

LEXINGTON, Ky. –No. 6/7 Kentucky women's basketball opens its 39th season of varsity women's basketball on Saturday, Nov. 10 when the Wildcats play host to first-time opponent Delaware State at 1 p.m. ET in Memorial Coliseum.
Single-game reserved tickets are available at a cost of $9 for all ages. General admission tickets for adults are $8 while single-game general admission tickets for seniors and children (ages 6-18, 65 and over) are only $5. Children ages five and under are admitted free in the general admission seating area.
Season tickets are also still available for $65. Lower-level chair back seating ($80) is sold out.
The game can be heard live on the UK IMG Sports Radio Network with Neil Price calling the action for the eighth consecutive season. Fans can follow the UK Hoops team on Twitter at @UKHoopCats and use #UKHoops to comment on the game. A live video stream is available on the subscription video portion of www.UKathletics.com.
"We are tipping off in Memorial Coliseum tomorrow and we are looking forward to it," UK Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "We would like to encourage everyone to come out and watch us play. I believe we have a great year ahead. I think you can look at this team to play with a great attitude, great effort and energy. Delaware State is not a team that we know too much about, because they have a new head coach. But we plan on coming out strong tomorrow and hopefully come away with a victory."
Delaware State, located in Dover, Del., is led by first-year head coach Tamika Louis. She was hired in May of 2012 after spending last season as an assistant coach at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Overall, she has spent 14 years coaching and recruiting at the NCAA Division I, junior college and high school levels.
The Hornets were picked to finish 11th in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and redshirt sophomore Tierra Hawkins was selected to the MEAC Preseason All-First Team. DSU returns all five starters from a squad that finished 7-23 overall, 4-12 in the MEAC last season.
UK returns 10 letter winners and four starters from a team that went 28-7 overall last season, including a school-record 13 Southeastern Conference victories. The Wildcats advanced to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history, including their second Elite Eight in the last three seasons.
The Wildcats' roster is highlighted by the preseason SEC Player of the Year pick in senior guard A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.). Also returning is the 2012 SEC Freshman of the Year Bria Goss (Indianapolis) and preseason All-SEC second-team selection Samarie Walker (West Carrollton, Ohio). Redshirt sophomore Jennifer O'Neill (Bronx, N.Y.), who sat out the 2011-12 season due to injury, and DeNesha Stallworth (Richmond, Calif.), an All-Pac-10 selection who sat out last season due to transfer regulations, also will be available this season. New faces to the roster are sophomore junior college transfer Jelleah Sidney (Queens Village, N.Y.) and freshman McDonald's All-American Janee Thompson (Chicago).
Saturday will mark the season opener for both teams and UK's first meeting against Delaware State. The Wildcats are 7-0 all-time vs. teams from the current alignment of the MEAC. The Cats are 34-4 all-time in home openers and have won three in a row.
The Cats own a 357-140 (71.8) mark in Memorial Coliseum, including a 67-12 (84.8) record under Coach Matthew Mitchell. The Cats are 48-2 at home over the last three seasons (including one game in Rupp Arena). UK's current 20-game home winning streak is the third-longest winning streak in school history and ranks tied for fourth nationally. The Wildcats have won 31-consecutive nonconference games at home, dating back to Dec. 19, 2008.

SAN FRANCISCO — You can take the ballplayer out of Northern California, but when it comes to Kevin Frandsen, you can't take Northern California out of the ballplayer's heart.
Frandsen, a star at Bellarmine College Prep (San Jose) and San Jose State before being drafted by the Giants, his childhood team, returned to AT&T Park this week wearing Philadelphia Phillies red. Frandsen worked out at AT&T Park during the winter when he was a Giant, and never had stepped foot in the visitor's clubhouse before Monday.
It didn't take long for him to settle in.
"You flip a switch," said Frandsen, who started at first base on Wednesday. "And you just want to beat them."
Frandsen may have been in an unfamiliar clubhouse this week, but everything else about the trip back to the Bay Area brought the 30-year-old back into his comfort zone. Frandsen still lives in the Bay Area and is engaged to a woman from San Jose, who, like Frandsen, is a lifelong Giants fan.
His allegiance to the area's sporting scene goes much farther than that Giants fandom or the yellow Warriors shirt he wore for a pre-game workout on Monday. Before Tuesday's game, Frandsen talked at length about the speed of the Sharks and the drafting acumen of 49ers general manager Trent Baake. Frandsen, whose family already has seat licenses for the new Santa Clara stadium, was thrilled when the Niners picked former South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore.
His passion for Bay Area sports isn't limited to the professional level. Frandsen said he is big fan of Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) basketball star Aaron Gordon and watched from afar in 2011 as the Bellarmine football team nearly won a state title.
"This is home," Frandsen said.
Frandsen still lives in the Bay Area and attended several postseason games last fall as a fan. But his in-season home is now Philadelphia, where he has put up good numbers in limited playing time and learned quickly that Phillies fans are every bit as passionate as he is about his hometown teams.
"It's very similar to (San Francisco)," Frandsen said. "Just a little more brutal at times."
Frandsen hit .240 in 174 games with the Giants but didn't always see eye to eye with other members of the organization.
"I wish I was like this maturity-wise back then," he said. "I was always passionate and played with high energy. I wasn't always accepted by the veterans."
Still, Frandsen said, he has no regrets about the way his run with the Giants ended. After watching friends and former teammates win a title a year ago, Frandsen said he hopes to accomplish a lifelong goal with the Phillies.
"My hands are a little light," Frandsen said, smiling. "I don't have rings on them."

Man what poorly designed software, messed up clients blackberry. Need some real developers to fix this.
Sh*ty software that doesn't compensate the 4 years of delay. No real video or photo sync, must be done manual through the media card that pops up on the dekstop. I truly regret having bought that p.o.s. "smart"phone. And don't get me started on the hundreds, hundreds of issues i've had with syncing this, syncing that, the contacts, updating software, etc, etc, etc. I wish i had an iPhone...
"You can also use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager to perform the following actions:

SERIOUSLY? The USB power from the Mac is a feature of this software?
Still in beta.. unstable!

Columbus has a new marketing campaign this season and, given all their troubles, they're an honest team to get behind.
In the late 1980s, pioneering gangsta rap group N.W.A. changed the face of hip hop with their us-against-the-world take on life. Nearly 25 years later, the Columbus Blue Jackets have echoed those three famous letters for that team's new marketing campaign and you couldn't find a more worthy franchise to identify with the hip hop crew's tales of alienation.

Players, coaches, GMs, officials and more gathered to discuss the state of the on-ice product and how it can be improved.
Diplomacy being what it is, there weren't exactly a payload of bombshells being dropped once the standards of rule enforcement meeting broke up at the NHL's Toronto office Wednesday.

The Flyers got more bad news about their defense when Andrej Meszaros was lost, but the team has shown it can find NHLers.
If the Olympics have taught us anything, it's that glory can evaporate in minutes, even seconds. For the Philadelphia Flyers, they haven't even reached the starting line yet and the news is awful.

Usually the Southeast is the division that gets ripped on, but take one look at the Northwest and you'll realize it's the bottom of the barrel.
Old myths take a while to die off. In hockey, one of the most well-worn cliches has been about the Southeast Division and its runt-of-the-litter status, despite the presence of stars such as Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos and Eric Staal.

The Nashville GM has a long, successful track record managing teams and wasn't going to be pushed around by an offer sheet.
David Poile is an easy guy to like. He's gracious when approached for interviews and honest when he answers the questions. The only GM Nashville has ever known and former Capitals GM has 30 years of experience in his role.

Ryan Kennedy speaks with a former NHL executive about his perspective on the labor battle.
Whether you like it or not, the owners are the most important group in the current collective bargaining agreement. And the second-most important group just may be other owners.
by Ryan Kennedy - July 11, 2012 11:40 AM UTC
It's believed long-term contracts will be looked at and limited in the next CBA, but they aren't the immovable albatrosses some believe them to be.
If there's one boogeyman that has marked the speculation surrounding the next collective bargaining agreement, it's long-term contracts.

The Canadian forward from Sidney Crosby's hometown and the American defenseman and son of a basketball player are two intriguing talents to watch.
I appreciate that we're all still digesting the results of the 2012 draft, but the future waits for no one and the 2013 edition promises to bring unparalleled hype to the table.

There were some risers, fallers and plenty of surprises on Day 1 of the NHL draft, so our prospect expert analyzes it all.
PITTSBURGH - The dust has settled on a crazy first night of the draft and it's fair to say a lot of unexpected moves and picks went down. Here are some of the highlights, split into winners and losers.
by Ryan Kennedy - June 21, 2012 6:00 PM UTC
The Russian who was once a candidate to go No. 1 is now slipping down most rankings, much like Sean Couturier last season... plus a video with Olli Maatta.
PITTSBURGH - The story of the 2012 draft so far has revolved around two Russians – one has been given the white hat, the other the black hat.
by Ryan Kennedy - June 20, 2012 3:31 PM UTC
Take a look back at some of the trades and you'll see why goaltender is a position you can't have too much of.
Straight up: Would you trade Vesa Toskala for Logan Couture? Let me give you a moment to think about it. As ludicrous as it sounds, that swap went down in a roundabout way in 2007 and the San Jose Sharks can thank their own proclivity in developing netminders for landing them their best current player.
by Ryan Kennedy - June 13, 2012 12:22 PM UTC
With one year left on his contract, Jordan Staal has been at the center of trade rumors. If true, Brian Burke must throw everything at Pittsburgh.
If last year's draft was any indication, anyone can be traded in the NHL these days. It was that fateful Thursday media luncheon that saw dozens of smartphones blow up with news of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter being dealt away from Philadelphia in separate trades, despite being on huge long-term deals.

And when Barack Obama was at last declared the victor, balloons fell, confetti flew, and we laughed and cried. For a man of my age (60), all of that giddiness can produce dire after-effects, especially when subverted by the shock of truly bad news.
The steady drumbeat of defeats in the ballot initiatives in Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, and California assaulted me once again with the enormity of prejudice. When I checked the California results at 3 a.m., black clouds covered my heart. I was certain that actual physical pain would greet me in the morning.
But it didn't. Although I wasn't as fresh as the first buds of spring, I felt, well, OK . . . considering. For one thing, the words of Winston Churchill played incessantly in my mind: "Never, never, never give up." For another, I was uplifted by memories of successes in the Land of . . . Obama.
Five years ago, Char and I met Barack Obama at an Equality Illinois gala. He was running for the senate and roving through the crowd to shake hands. We talked for at least five minutes, and Char and I were impressed by his keen mind and palpable decency. I later met him again while I was lobbying for the Illinois "gay rights" bill, which covered gender identity as well as sexual orientation. Obama was a strong supporter of the bill.
For more than thirty years, Equality Illinois, PFLAG, and other organizations and individuals had worked tirelessly to pass that bill. By continually reaching across the aisle and appealing to the better angels of the people of Illinois, we finally succeeded in January 2005. Recognizing that a majority of Illinoisans wanted to end discrimination, Democratic representatives and senators were joined by many Republicans in voting for it.
From the pain, frustrations, and final success of that long campaign, I learned that such victories require patience, persistence, and broad-based support. Though we failed several times, we kept trying, and because of our work, the number of allies supporting us steadily grew. Later, we called upon these same allies to help us keep a marriage-inequality initiative off the ballot. Now, we have a civil unions bill close to passage.
So, am I devastated by our defeats in Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Florida? No, I'm disappointed. That's all. How can I be depressed when I know we've exercised our muscles and built up larger and stronger numbers of supporters? Steadfastly placed on the right side of history, justice, and morality, we'll ultimately prevail. Consider the power of having a president and Congress more committed to equality and supportive of our efforts to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and pass a trans-inclusive ENDA. Consider the affirming words that will now come from Washington. Consider the power we have in this wonderful organization to compound those gains through Straight for Equality, our Safe Schools initiative, Welcoming Faith Communities, and our other programs. As we create a more positive cultural climate, more and more Americans will join us in moving equality forward.
Last Sunday at our local PFLAG chapter meeting, Bob Minor, who has written extensively about erasing homophobia, urged us to dream big dreams. According to Bob, big dreams are those which require more than a lifetime to achieve. Securing civil and cultural equality for LGBT individuals in America and throughout the world is a big dream.
Together, we're dreaming that big dream for my son John, for your sons and daughters, for your family members and friends, and for all other LGBT people, and we'll follow that dream until it is a reality.
My heart goes out to those of you who dreamed and worked so hard in Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Florida. As PFLAG board member Sam Thoron says, you need time to dry your tears, soothe your pain, and heal. You fought the good fight, and you'll rise to fight again even more energetically and effectively. When I think about California and Sam and his wife Julia's eloquent statement on marriage equality and their deeply moving television ad, and when I consider the monumental efforts of PFLAG chapter members and national staff, I know we have the talent, brains, and commitment we need to make our dream a reality. We didn't win this time, but we're coming closer and closer to victory.
Never, never, never give up. These words worked for Churchill, and they'll work for us.
Dream big dreams.
- John R. Cepek
PFLAG National President

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - What do a community diplomat, an author, a workshop designer, a mediator, a 2013 Aspen Hall of Fame inductee, and an artist have in common? They are all just some of the many titles of Michael Kinsley, a Roaring Fork Valley artist whose works are in the "En Plein Air" show at the Villas at Snowmass Club Welcome Center. Kinsley's Hall of Fame induction probably has less to do with his art and more do to with the fact that he was an elected county commissioner from 1975 to 1985. The Old Snowmass resident will receive this honor and be included with other locals who have made major contributions to the cultural, sporting and/or civic area of the Roaring Fork Valley.
Kinsley has been painting since he was a kid, and seriously for 25 years. He doesn't recall ever wanting to be an artist - just to paint. When asked about his art education, he responded, "Trial and error punctuated by hearing suggestions from painter friends, seeing others work, reading books, and attending occasional workshops."
Asked what the challenges of plein air painting are, Kinsley said: "Speed is both the primary challenge and the important benefit. The light changes so quickly that one is forced to work quickly - no time to think about mixing a particular color, much less take a break. It's an intense form of meditation."
Kinsley's art is inspired by Edgar Payne, Cezanne, Emily Carr, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and N.C. Wyeth. In addition to painting Roaring Fork Valley landscapes, he also paints Utah deserts. Some of his pieces in this show are titled "Old Snowmass Morning," "Snowmass Canyon Trail," "Snowmass Canyon Morning," and "K and G Barn."
"Sometimes I suspect that my painting is a compulsion to gather nature's magic and take it home," Kinsley said. He likes to paint wherever there is something interesting or moving.
Other artists featured in the show are Georgeann Waggaman (curator), Anne Byard, Sue Tatem, Lyn Hemley, David Notor and Mike Otte.
The Villas at the Snowmass Club gallery, located in the Welcome Center across the street from the club, is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. An opening reception for the show will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 17. For additional information, call 970-923-0391, 970-925-2126, or 970-274-2478.

Firefighters were called at 3:36 a.m. Thursday to battle a house fire in a southwest Canton neighborhood.
The blaze at 612 Arlington Ave. SW destroyed the home and damaged houses on either side, said Division Chief Kerry Ball of the Canton Fire Department.
Two ladder trucks were initially called to the fire, which had been reported as an entrapment. But information was not yet available as to whether anyone was inside the burning home.
Ball said the house was destroyed in the blaze, which burned into the basement and left only a wall and a chimney standing.
Firefighters continued Thursday afternoon to investigate the cause of the fire, he said.

The Mid-Ohio Valley Players will present the drama "Look Homeward, Angel" over the next three weekends in Marietta.
The show will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday, May 4, 5, 11 and 12 and at 3 p.m. May 6 at the Players Theatre, 229 Putnam St. in Marietta.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $5 for youth. They are available at midohiovalleyplayers.org and at Marty's Print Shop on Third Street in Marietta.
In addition to the regular performances, the MOVP will also be presenting a matinee performance for high school students from Wood and Washington counties at 9:30 a.m. May 4.
Written by Ketti Frings and based on the Thomas Wolfe novel, "Look Homeward, Angel" explores the magic in everyday life. It is the story of an early 20th Century North Carolina family as told through the eyes of the youngest son, Eugene Gant.
The Gants, despite eccentricities stemming from both sides of the family, are not extraordinary. But through the eyes of Wolfe, their lives sparkle with joy and tragedy in this true classic of American theater. The book has been described as a thinly disguised autobiography of Wolfe himself, in the role of Eugene Gant.
"Look Homeward, Angel" traces Eugene's coming of age in the small town of Altamont, N.C. Eliza, his mother, is a woman who likes to make "deals"-in business and with people. With the proverbial iron hand in the velvet glove and almost equal concern, she runs Dixieland, her seedy boarding house, an alcoholic husband, a daughter and two sons.
The play adaption by Frings won the 1958 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and it was also nominated for several Tony Awards.
The MOVP production is directed by Geoffrey Coward. The cast features:
- O.W. Gant: Gary Brown
- Eliza Pentland-Gant: Dawn Weidner
- Will Pentland: Rodney Poling
- Ben Gant: George Litman
- Luke Gant: Ray Ryan

2 Physics The separation of white light into colours or of any radiation according to wavelength.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The lime-resolved spectra were globally analyzed with a fitting program described by van Stokkum et al., which also corrects for group velocity dispersion in the white light continuum.
- Although it has long been known that a rainbow is produced by the dispersion of white light through rain droplets via refraction, there is far more to this optical phenomenon than first meets the eye.
- Because a negative refractive index implies dispersion, and thus a certain degree of loss, perfect lens operation is not feasible.
3 Statistics The extent to which values of a variable differ from a fixed value such as the mean.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Wide dispersion of the data suggests diverging distributary channels.
- Development of improved models to predict field-scale dispersion is a continuing area of research.
- We then consider the extent to which differences in household lifetime financial resources explain the wide dispersion in wealth, given lifetime earnings.

As U.S. Approaches Debt Limit, Treasury Readies 'Extraordinary' Measures
As the federal government closes in on its legal debt limit, the U.S. Treasury is dusting off its book of so-called extraordinary measures — moves that will buy it a few extra months to finance Social Security, military salaries and other payments.
The U.S. was about $67 billion under the $16.394 trillion debt ceiling as of Friday. That's small change in a world of trillion-dollar deficits and billions in monthly borrowing.
Treasury expects to bump up against the cap, which is set by Congress, very near the end of this month. Lawmakers may not raise it before then — the debt limit has become entangled in fiscal cliff talks. The White House wants to be able to raise the debt ceiling without political drama, though Republicans see their authority over the cap as a crucial bargaining chip to extract spending cuts from the Obama administration.
So, perhaps a week or two before it would go over the top, Treasury is likely to start taking steps that will hold off default until about mid-February or early March.
The play book includes:
–Suspending sales of State and Local Government Series Treasury securities–special-purpose Treasurys known as Slugs that state and local governments use to comply with tax rules. The move doesn't increase headroom under the ceiling, but it stops Treasury from piling on new public debt.
–Redemption of existing and suspension of new investments in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund after determining that a "debt issuance suspension period" exists. The action allows the government to redeem Treasurys held by the fund–last time around that worked out to about $12 billion over two months. By law, the fund must be made whole once the debt limit is increased.
–Suspending reinvestment in the Government Securities Investment Fund, or G Fund, a money-market defined-contribution retirement fund for federal employees. Federal employees wouldn't be affected by the action–Treasury is required to replenish the fund. The maneuver bought Treasury about $130 billion in headroom last year.
–Limiting investments in the exchange-stabilization fund, a reserve account related to foreign-exchange holdings. The government has about $23 billion in securities in the fund.
"Once these steps have been taken, no remaining legal and prudent measures would be available to create additional headroom under the debt limit, and the United States would begin to default on its obligations," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told lawmakers last year.
Treasury never has said exactly what it would do if it breaches the limit.
Treasury's Office of the Inspector General this summer reported that the department considered asset sales, across-the-board payment reductions, prioritizing payments and delaying payments–and concluded that none would "protect the full faith and credit of the U.S., the American economy, or individual citizens from very serious harm."
As a last resort, Treasury officials concluded that delaying payments would be the least harmful option, the report said.
During the summer of 2011, the prospect of default undermined confidence, forced the government to pay additional interest costs and led Standard & Poor's to strip the U.S. government of its top-notch debt rating.

'Corrupt' and 'Inefficient': What BP Really Thinks of Russia
Despite an acrimonious exit from Russian joint-venture TNK-BP BP always has plenty of good things to say about Moscow and its oil riches–publicly that is. In private, the view from the U.K. oil giant's St James's Square headquarters isn't so rosy.
It's corrupt, inefficient and dominated by Putin's security friends, BP internal documents say.
For BP's Russian operations, "business planning and investment are complicated by continued problems of corruption, resource misallocation and ineffective courts and civil remedies," says a 2012 security assessment of the company's top threats, seen by The Wall Street Journal.
The document is also rather blunt about who really controls Russia. President Vladimir Putin "retains the support of the power elites in the Security Services, Military and Law Enforcement, members of which have seeded throughout critical sectors of the Russian government and economy," it says.
The analysis was written before BP last autumn decided to sell its 50% in Russian joint-venture TNK-BP after a dispute with its local partners.
But the company is staying in the country, on which it keeps upbeat views. It has agreed to increase its stake in Russian state giant Rosneft to 19.8%, is considering entering new acreage and is keeping its oil-products operations there.
"In Russia, we have an exciting and promising future," BP's Chief Executive Bob Dudley said at the company's earnings last week.
BP declined to comment on the content of its internal documents.

The AAA says drivers can improve their mileage in hybrids by following these tips:
-- When starting from a dead stop, accelerate with some zip.
-- Try to time traffic lights so you don't have to stop.
-- Stay out of right or slow lane, where stop-and-go traffic is heaviest.
-- Keep tires at recommended inflation; it's even more important than in gas-only powered cars.
-- When turning, try to do so without tapping the brakes.
-- Turn air conditioner off or do not use it at full blast.
-- Use cruise control in the right conditions -- long, flat stretches of road.
-- Turn off accessories, like cell phone chargers, GPS devices and radios.
-- Take off your shoes for a lighter touch.

Stroud Area Regional Police are investigating the death of a 3-month-old baby boy who was found unresponsive at a Stroud Township day care Thursday evening.
A 911 call was received from 124 Jamie Court, formerly Maple Street, at 7:08 p.m. indicating that Jasaan Feliciano of East Stroudsburg was not responding and possibly not breathing, said SARP Corporal Kenneth Nevil.
Responding police officers performed CPR on Jasaan until paramedics arrived. He was taken to Pocono Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy Friday at Lehigh Valley Hospital couldn't pinpoint the cause of the baby's death, so additional tests are needed, according to Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen.
Police did not name the day care facility, only saying it is state-certified. However, a search of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare's database shows one at that address, a private residence, registered to Deborah Terry Thompson.
A visibly upset woman who answered the door Friday morning declined to identify herself or comment, saying only that she has done nothing wrong.
Jasaan was the son of Feston Moisengo and Chaqira Feliciano of East Stroudsburg. A visitation will be held 11 a.m. and followed by a noon service Monday, Dec. 3, at the Joseph J. Pula Funeral Home, 23 N. Ninth St., Stroudsburg, PA 18360.
The day care serves children up to age 12 and has a six-child capacity, according to state records.
Anne Bale, spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Welfare which oversees licensing child care facilities, said the DPW is now investigating this particular day care facility in light of SARP reporting the suspicious death of a baby there. Bale did not have any information immediately available on how long the facility has been operating or how often it's been inspected.

Women's prison in Berlin 'not looking good'
Back in February, Woodburn announced he would lobby for a new women's prison to be located on the grounds of the men's prison in Berlin. He noted that the 500-bed state facility was built with the infrastructure to allow a future 500-bed addition. Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier threw his support behind Woodburn's initiative.

After the success of the light-duty and medium-duty L42/L43 forward-control trucks, Volvo wanted to go ahead and design F trucks in the heavier segment. This created serious discussions within the management and the design department of the company.
Initially, a traditional European design was discussed (the L382/L3851 F version of the Viking truck had been around for some time), but they embarked on more ambitious plans probably on account of experience gained in the USA (where Volvo was the only European manufacturer with a presence there at that time).
Towards cab-over-engine trucks
In contrast to the preferences in the USA nowadays, there was a trend away from conventional (N) truck and in favour of cab-over-engine (F) trucks in the late 1950s and the early 1960s in North America. This was a trend which had been forced through by legislation that restricted the total length of truck combinations.
The F trucks of America were, however, very advanced vehicles. Low weight of chassis was one feature, the tilting cab facilitating the work of the driver or the mechanic when performing service was another. The decision was taken that the new generation of Volvo heavy-duty trucks should include F trucks in all weight segments.
Introducing the modern tilt-cab
The first Volvo truck to receive a modern tilt-cab was also the first European truck of this type ever to be made in significant numbers. The cab was designed by the Volvo truck design department in Gothenburg under supervision of Sigvard Forssell, in close cooperation with the Nyström Cab factory in Umeå in the north of Sweden (which would before long become the main Volvo cab factory).
To stress the fact that the new cab was tilting for easy access to the engine a name was allocated to the new trucks featuring this cab; the 'TIPTOP' (always written with capital letters).
Only top-of-the-range components
The first truck to feature the new tilting cab was introduced in 1962, and was based on the proven mechanical components of the L475 Raske. The resulting name of the new truck became 'Volvo L4751 Raske TIPTOP'. To optimise the performance and economy/efficiency of the new Raske TIPTOP truck it was decided to equip it with the top-of-the-range components of the L475 Raske. The new Raske TIPTOP was therefore the first truck ever to be equipped as standard with a Turbocharged engine (no naturally-aspirated engine was available to the customers). Power steering was another standard feature not commonly found on distribution trucks of the era.
Reintroductions and new versions
The L4751 became very popular, and was re-introduced in 1965 (as part of the 'System 8' family) as the F85, with a slightly bigger engine but in other respects mainly without major changes. A slightly down-rated version was introduced in 1968 as the 'F84', while the final version of the Raske TIPTOP/F85 was presented in 1976 as the 'F85S', with an even more powerful engine with slightly increased capacity.
This family of trucks was followed by the F6S and is the ancestor of today's extremely efficient FL family of trucks.

Highmark supports Medicaid decision
May 10, 2013
PARKERSBURG — The governor's decision to expand Medicaid has been endorsed by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia....
Wonderful! Now the ER's will be even more glutted with sniffles and DV cases and even more welfare losers will have more access to pill mill doctors for Xanax and oxycontin. WV tax payers need something else to pay for. Of course BCBS backs things that help to line the insurance company's pockets!Keep on "redistributing the wealth"- pretty soon that will be a flat line.

'Scandal' Recap: Season 3, Episode 16, 'The Fluffer'
It's a shame. Just when you think you're back on top, you make one wrong move that could upend all of your hard work. That's the lesson Liv is going to learn next week on "Scandal." This week, she got to get her mojo back.
I don't know if it was her mother calling her "the help," Fitz dismissing her last week to fight with his "wife" or just the sheer proximity of Papa Pope recently, but Liv has returned to the Olivia Pope of old. This week saw her shutting folks down left and right. Let's count it: Huck, Fitz, Mellie, Andrew, Cyrus and Jake all felt the heat. And it was glorious. Abby may have walked in with the white coat of destiny, but it was Liv who was wielding all the power.
Liv has been taking her father's advice to heart and trying to fight the good fight, no matter how dirty it gets. For that reason, Abby got to play dress up in Liv clothes and handle the campaign for a little while. She wasn't prepared for a meeting filled with cold shoulders and animosity. No one was here for Abby (though Gabby seems to be a better fit for her) and her poll numbers. At the first sign that Liv wasn't coming, Fitz, Mellie and black-eyed Andrew all walked out. Just rude.
Fitz is still nursing hurt feelings while spinning multiple plates. His fake mistress has written a tell-all—with Sally Langston's blessing (and backing)—describing their non-existent affair and is going straight to the media with her tales, describing Fitz as "impressive." What publisher allowed her to write this without notifying someone at the White House is beyond me. But, hey, it's television.
Another plate that Fitz is spinning is dealing with Mellie, a wife he neither loves nor respects, and her affair his running mate. He wants to kick Andrew off the campaign, which Liv shuts down immediately. I've made no secret of my distaste for Fitz when he's in whiny mode. He's been cheating on Mellie for years. Her affair is just something he's going to have to roll with. When Liv asks him what else does he need, he scoffs. So she runs down the list of all the duties that she has performed for him: nanny, bodyguard, cheerleader, ego stroker. But the job that cuts him to the bone is fluffer. "You're being disgusting, and petty, and jealous." Fitz walked himself into a pot-meets-kettle situation. Despite how all-wrong these two are for each other, this was the one time where he stood up for himself and didn't make the other person out to be the bad guy. Their situation isn't something that was done to Liv. It was a mess they created together.
And together, they have to figure out a way to win the election. Fitz's first step is to ignore Liv and get his own running mate. Again, Liv shuts that down immediately and asks the hard question: "What do you need?" What he needs is to be petty and jealous—and break up Mellie and Andrew. "Consider it handled," Liv tells him before snatching her hand away from him.
Breaking them up wasn't as hard as it should have been if Andrew truly loved Mellie the way he said he did. But all Liv had to do was dangle the prospect of "teaching political science at a small, second-tier liberal arts college" and he was shaken. Sure, he bristled a bit, wondering how Liv could sleep at night. In the end though, Liv's assessment was right, "Men like you will always, always choose power." In choosing that power, he unleashed the wrath of Mellie. When she realizes Fitz was the cause of their breakup, she storms into his office and slaps him during the middle of a meeting. "You take everything from me!" she growls. Poor Mellie.
Suffice to say Abby wasn't suited to handle the White House. But was trying to handle other business, like pump Papa Pope for information on how to drain B613's funds. Apparently, since the '80s, B613 has been siphoning money from the Office of Management and Budget. How has B613 been using the exact same algorithm for nearly 30 years undetected?
That's up to Huck to find out as Liv has tasked him with the job. Huck storms off when he finds out she got the info from Papa Pope, saying her father is playing her for a mark. When Huck refuses, she begins her first shut down of the night. "We all do things we don't to do. This is what we're doing," she tells him. Mic drop.
It turns out that the sketchy intel was sketchy for a reason: the algorithm isn't working anymore because the money's not there. When questioned, Papa Pope says he loved the organization and Jake doesn't know what he's doing, so he's trying to "euthanize" it. He said it more eloquently, of course, but Shonda Rhimes packs a lot of dialog into an episode we've got lots to cover. Anywho, Jake's moved the money.
This wouldn't be such a big deal if Liv hadn't already rebuffed Drunk Jake's late night call. Jake's very "heavy hangs the head" lately and becoming more like his old pal Fitz by living in his cups. He wants to walk in the sun with her and tells her she was supposed to save him from…whatever. His hurt feelings don't mean anything until Huck figures out a way into the system. Liv needs to hack his phone, but the only way to get close enough to Jake to do so is to seduce him. So LIv just takes one for the team, filming what is quite possibly the most awkward love scene ever seeing as how Kerry Washington is full-on pregnant.
Still, her dedication to the job turned results: Huck was able to hack into B613's everything just at the time Jake found out Mama Pope had procured a bomb. At the worst possible moment, Liv tells Huck to shut B613 down right when Mama Pope was about to reveal the target of her "Mona Lisa of Boom:" either the White House or the campaign trail. It doesn't take Jake long to figure out what happened. He arrives—quite speedily; is B613 around the corner from the office—and wraps his hand around Liv's neck. "You just killed the president," he tells her.
Side thoughts:
* I know Jake's mad and all, but I'm not comfortable with him wrapping his hand around LIv's neck.
* I can't think Mellie's going to take this laying down. She's been able to cut Fitz to the quick before, and I'm sure she'll figure out a way to do it again.
* Mama Pope only shows up for a couple scenes an episode but she slays every time. She got her lover to deliver a bomb, a flunky/mentee to get cracking multiple fake IDs and then shake up Liv and Papa Pope's dinner. Liv's face the entire time screamed, "I hate to see Mommy and Daddy fight."
* I have a love/hate relationship with all of the old storylines being mentioned. Reston killing his wife's lover and Jeneane being "Taken for Granted" seemed so long ago, I had to wrack my brain to remember.
* Reston, who's been a total sleaze from the beginning, is out of the picture. Deuces.
* Goodbye, Harrison's friend whose name I never bothered to catch.
So what did you think? Did you like how Quinn ran down the list of her boyfriends, all of whom are no longer with us? Is Mama Pope the villain we've been waiting for?
