ALBANY – Lawmakers say they have struck a tentative deal to expand the number of Las Vegas-style casinos in New York, letting four new gambling halls operate upstate but honoring a recent deal with the Seneca Nation to keep any new casinos from locating in Western New York.
Key lawmakers say they expect a bill to be ready today that would also allow gambling facilities offering only video lottery terminals – slot-like devices such as those at the Hamburg racetrack – into three upstate regions as well as Long Island, if the casino referendum officials hope to present to voters is defeated.
"It's the closest we've been to having a meeting of the minds to move forward. I think there's a commitment to move forward in both houses," said Sen. John Bonacic, a Catskills Republican who heads the Senate's Racing and Wagering Committee.
Still on the table but getting close is a plan to let businesses expand operations on state and private college campuses without paying any state taxes – an idea that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo says will be a major benefit to upstate but that critics call a corporate giveaway that even includes no income tax payments by an expanding firm's employees.
The casino deal – yet to be announced by Cuomo and legislative leaders and subject to possible change – would give all counties in Western New York a share of the casino revenue-sharing proceeds from the Seneca Nation's gambling halls in Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca. Currently, only those three localities get the vast majority of the local revenue-sharing money under the terms of a 2002 compact between the state and tribe.
The plan calls for voters statewide to be asked to approve up to seven new casinos, which, like the Indian facilities, could offer real slot machines and table games such as poker.
A separate "enabling bill" with specifics for the plan calls for casinos to pay a tax rate of 40 percent, up from 25 percent that Cuomo proposed. If a casino locates in a region that is home to a track-based "racino," that track facility would pay a lower share than the current average state tax rate of about 67 percent.
The enabling bill only locates the first of four casinos, and all would have to be in one of three upstate regions: the Southern Tier near Binghamton, the Albany area and the Hudson Valley, including the Catskills. Bonacic said he believes two of the four will end up in the Catskills, a region that was first approved for three Indian casinos, which were never built, a decade ago.
Seneca President Barry Snyder Sr. last week told The Buffalo News he hopes the Senecas could try to expand their casino empire to the Catskills.
Other issues are stalled as the legislative session winds down, including Cuomo's plan to create a taxpayer-funded campaign financing system for statewide and legislative candidates.
It would have a price tag of $40 million to $200 million, depending on which side is talking.
Fewer and fewer lawmakers believe Cuomo will be successful in his attempt to protect – or expand, as critics say – abortion access in New York if the federal abortion laws are struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
A group of four independent Democrats, who control the Senate in a coalition arrangement with Republicans, is pressing for passage of nine other women's rights and advocacy measures, but Cuomo and some women's groups say they don't want the package approved unless the abortion provisions are included.
"It would be a shame," Senate co-leader Jeff Klein, a Bronx Democrat, said, if nine of the 10 didn't happen because of the abortion issue.
Lawmakers say they expect the end of the 2013 session, scheduled for Thursday, to drag over into Friday.
Still being worked on is Cuomo's new plan to let companies locate on college campuses without paying any taxes, including personal income taxes by the workers they employ.
That plan seems all but certain to pass, but the sides are still negotiating how to make more colleges in New York City, now with a shortage of campus property, eligible by expanding their boundaries to help draw businesses to the tax-free zones.
Meanwhile, lawmakers have introduced a last-minute bill to give financial help to three racetrack-based casinos in Hamburg, Batavia and near Rochester. The facilities were at the heart of the Seneca Nation's dispute with the state that was settled by Cuomo and Snyder last week.
The tribe stopped $600 million in payments to the state alleging, in part, a contract breach when Albany let the three tracks market themselves as "casinos" and offer real slot machines instead of video lottery terminals. The new bill includes lower tax rates for the track casinos and state reimbursement of the cost of "rebranding" themselves in line with the terms of the Cuomo and Snyder deal.

10 Tips to Protect Club Members' Private Information
1. Include your club's privacy policy in your literature and on your Web site.
2. Collect only essential information from your members, keep it in secure, locked files and limit access to as few people as possible.
3. Conduct criminal and other background checks on all employees who will have access to personal and confidential information and require employees who have access to members' or employees' personal information to sign confidentiality agreements.
4.Screen any cleaning companies and personnel firms to ensure they're proactive about privacy and confidentiality.
5.Use randomly assigned numbers on membership cards rather than Social Security numbers.
6. Include photos on member ID cards.
7. Use a shredder to dispose of personal information that doesn't need to be kept on file.
8.Instruct staff on security procedures when sending personal information by fax, including using a confidential cover sheet and double-checking the fax number. Train your employees not to convey personal or confidential information via voicemail, pagers, cellular phones, or e-mail.
9. Encrypt and password-protect all personal and confidential information on computers. Install firewall protection and keep virus protection updated.
10. If a member's information is stolen, notify law enforcement, the victim and affected businesses immediately.

Though five-time Olympian Dara Torres moved on to the next round of trials, young swimmers can relax—the 2012 Olympics in London will be her last.
The 43-year-old athlete is returning after a 16 month recovery period, in which she has been recuperating from an extensive knee surgery. She swam an impressive 29.9 second 50-meter freestyle, qualifying her to move on to next year's U.S. Olympic Trials at the Missouri Grand Prix.
Torres, 43, has not raced competitively since the 2009 world championships and only recently resumed water training following a reconstructive procedure that involved transplanting cartilage to her left kneecap.
Her comeback has been complicated by her 60-year-old coach Michael Lohberg's battle with a rare, life-threatening blood disorder. He remains hospitalized in Florida after a recent heart attack and is listed in intensive care.
"It's been such an emotional roller coaster ride," Torres said. "You don't realize how much emotions can drain you physically until you go through something like that."
Torres owns four Olympic gold medals, earning her first in the 1984 Games — well before most of her current teammates and competitors were born. She earned three silver medals at the Beijing Games in 2008 after twice retiring from competitive swimming.
The 2012 Games, should she qualify, will truly be her last hurrah, Torres said.
"I don't want to be that athlete who's at the top of their game and goes down real quick," she said.
When it was pointed out that Torres had previously called the 2008 Olympics her last, she quickly dispelled any doubts that 2012 will be her last Games.
"You can quote me. There is no more (after 2012). I'm done," she said. "If you ever see me in a pool again,

Picdesk - Images of Women
Picdesk licenses beautiful images of women to a worldwide client base - which includes thousands of Photo Editors, Art Buyers and Creative Directors.
We are a unique image syndication agency specialising in images of women for use in magazines, advertisements, marketing, print and web media.
We are a young, vibrant team that speaks in simple plain language to our professional image buying customers who range from Vogue and Harpers Bazaar through to Ralph, Zoo Weekly and Playboy.
Our website audience includes photo editors, art buyers, art directors and creatives. We sell to the advertising, editorial and marketing departments of magazines, publishing companies, advertising and branding agencies.
Largely our market is untapped and so we will need something that appeals to the photo editor of a mens mag, but also something that wouldnt turn off a photo editor or art buyer for a womens magazine such as Cosmopolitan - ie we cant be too cheeky in our styling about naked bodies etc that may appear in our images!
We are looking for 2 graphics that will help articulate easy of use and visibility for our professional audience:
1. a 1-2-3 step diagram (how does the site work); AND
2. A 1-2-3 solid panel- to show Where am I up to in the process right now? (while they are using the site) - this would be just be a thin solid panel across the middle of the screen with the numbers 1 - 2 & 3 and a descriptor next to each -
1. Search
2. Request
3. Download
Examples of these are in the attached PDF. We have found one style that we like - but we'd love to see if you have other ideas!
We are yet to launch the new site, which can be found at http://new.picdesk.com/ .... We are looking for something that:
- Fits with the design of the new site
- Is simple, clear and easy to understand
- Fits in the small space we have available on the site to locate it
- It is also important that the new icons are representative of what the words mean - ie 'SEARCH' might be a magnifying glass or binoculars etcetc
"It's easy!
1. SEARCH and find images
2. REQUEST the images you love
3. we'll send you a link to DOWNLOAD the hi-res files"
We are looking for icons that accurately describe the 3 step process. The high res vector files and also in hi-res PDF would be needed. Thank you and good luck - please dont hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions!

Looking out the window
Just looking out the window and waiting for Spring Training. You?
Everyone is buzzing about the Brothers Upton in Atlanta, an acquisition reported by Mark Bowman. What did you think of the Atlanta-Arizona trade? The Cutoff Man, MiLB.com PROSPECTive, Dugout Ponderings, The Unbiased MLB Fan, Brave Fan in Illinois and The Baseball Haven give you their takes.
Fresh posts are in at Dodgers History, The Brewer Nation, The Rays Rant, MLB Urban Youth Academy, Balls and Strikes, SF Giants Photos, My Serendipitous Life as a Baseball Wife, Minoring in Baseball, Hillsboro Hops, Ben's Biz Blog and The AustralianBaseballDigest.
Blogger Terry Nelson says on Balls and Strikes that he is "not a winter person." I agree with you, Terry. For full disclosure, this blogger is wearing warm Cardinals pajamas under his work clothes as this will probably be the coldest night of the year in New York City and I am headed over to Joe Torre's Safe at Home event tonight at Chelsea Piers, to fire questions at guys like Brian Cashman, Gerry Cooney (!), Hideki Matsui, Tony La Russa, Goose Gossage, Jorge Posada, Tom Coughlin and more. I believe this is the last in a long string of offseason dinners I cover for MLB.com during that wait between World Series clincher and pitchers and catchers reporting.
The most recent dinner story I wrote was the most-shared MLB.com story on Facebook: Yogi Berra's tribute night at the Baseball Assistance Team's 24th annual Go to Bat for B.A.T. Fundraiser Dinner. We have since posted the clip of Yogi's 65-word love letter to his lifelong sport, so I encourage you to embed it on your own blog and share it widely.
Hopefully you already know that you can show MLB.com videos. It's a great addition to your blog. Just click the gray Embed button on just about any of our videos. (Game footage video has a time delay for embed availability during the season.) Please leave comments here whenever you include MLB.com video embeds within your posts, as I would like to highlight that capability within our community here.
We just introduced mlbpipeline.com — the go-to place for all prospect tracking and Draft analysis year-round, whether you're looking for your organization's pipeline talent or prospecting for your Fantasy roster. MLB.com senior writer Jonathan Mayo is our longtime prospect and Draft expert at MLB.com, and in addition to anchoring that, he is posting regularly at B3 – Big, Bald and Beautiful.
Game times for this season were announced today. Where Everyone's a Giant posted about it, good topic for you to blog about. My MLB.com colleague Jesse Sanchez recently posted a great entry about late author Richard Ben Cramer and how he influenced him. Remember to post your Top 100 banner if you made our 2012 list like Wrigley Regular.
Welcome back to one of our earliest MLB.com Blogs fan posters, Joe Boesch. His latest post on Dugout Diary is a Pete Rose autographed card, check it out. Jamie Ramsey is blogging the Reds Caravan. The MLB.com Fantasy 411 crew is getting spring fever. We found short and sweet words from just-started Let's Play Ball! Gotta like how Broke Mets is rockin' the pitchers and catchers countdown clock in its side panel. Leave comments here to let you know you've posted something new and don't forget to include your full URL. We'll be surfacing MLB.com Blogs in a new way this season, just one thing we have to look forward to looking out the window…

Per this link, there is a very definite effect of technology in worship.
The benefits of using, say, an iPad to reference Scripture and all of the additional source material (commentaries, interlinears, etc...) are fairly straightforward - the pastor can teach, and leave as an exercise to the "student," finding the resources, etc... needed to back up an presentation. Additionally, if the preacher references "Balaam" or uses a word like "eschatalogical hope," it is beneficial if people can look up that term.
On the other hand, if the point of a sermon and or a worship service is simply to bring about a contemplative mental state, then these distractions (e.g. the lights emanating from the device, the temptation to go to non-church resources) would most likely outweigh the benefits.
So, how do Christians even go about answering what the purpose of the worship service is, in order to decide for themselves if i-Paraphenalia is to be encouraged or discouraged?

Fire-walking: How it relates to a hot frying pan
Q. As any seasoned cook knows, a quick sprinkle of water on a skillet can tell if it's hot enough, as the drops bead up and dance about on a thin cushion of water vapor. What's the name for this remarkable phenomenon? –J. Child
A. It's the "Leidenfrost effect," after Johann Gottlieb Leidenfrost, who studied it in 1756, says Jearl Walker in The Flying Circus of Physics. This is what keeps the drops from sizzling away immediately, a telltale sign the skillet isn't yet hot enough.
The thin-cushion Leidenfrost effect also comes into play when barefoot firewalkers daringly step across glowing hot coals. The sweat on the nervous walker's feet may vaporize to form a sort of protective layer, with other factors helping as well.
This effect even appears in Robert Ruark's novel Something of Value. To determine which of two men was telling the truth, a tribe forced them to lick a very hot knife, the idea being that the liar would have a dry tongue out of fear and so would be burned, while the truth-teller would have a moist tongue and be protected by the insulating vapor.
"The tribe did not know the Leidenfrost effect by name but realized its operating principle," Ruark wrote.
Q. Why do most of us, when we get lucky, kiss with our eyes closed? –J. Frost
A. Because in this way we minimize distraction and increase our touch sensitivity, fulfilling 19th-century psychologist William James's aphorism, "Touch is both the alpha and omega of affection," says David G. Myers in Psychology.
In fact, the deprivation of any sense can show up in the accentuation of another sense. In one experiment, people who had spent 90 minutes sitting quietly blindfolded became better at locating the direction of sounds they heard. And blind musicians are more likely than sighted ones to develop perfect pitch. People who have been deaf from birth exhibit enhanced attention to their peripheral vision; their auditory cortex, starved for sensory input, remains largely intact and becomes somehow responsive to touch and visual input.
Q. Can you cite any English words containing the same letter three times in a row? –D. McNair
A. Here's saying you can't because the usual rules of English spelling outlaw triple letters, says Oxford University Press. When three letters do happen to come together, hyphens are used to break them up, e.g., bee-eater, bell-like, cross section, shell-less.
A person who flees is a fleer, not a fleeer, and someone who sees is a seer, not a seeer. Chaffinches used to be called Chaff finches, but when the two words were merged, one of the f's was dropped.
"Written representation of noises often contain triple letters, such as brrr, shhh, zzz, but these don't count as proper words," says the Oxford guru.
Q. "Each and every one of us must help protect the environment." So, who can find fault with these words? –B. Mooney
A. The sentiment is fine, but the emphatic "each and every" has been widely condemned by usage critics for its alleged redundancy, since the words "each" and "every" convey the same message, writes Mark Davidson in Right, Wrong, and Risky. Moreover, according to various dictionaries of English usage, "the phrase is a cliche, a pomposity, and a bit of bureaucratic bombast." One style guide even contemptuously dismissed it as "pitchman's jargon." Some risk-free advice regarding this, from lawyer-lexicographer Bryan A. Garner: "Unless you need a special emphasis, avoid this trite phrase."
So here's hoping that each and every reader out there heeds this advice, each and every time it's called for.

Hylton took his tally in this season's competition to seven with a first-half double and a third in the 62nd minute before Lee Frecklington pulled one back from the penalty spot after 71 minutes.
Kari Arnason picked up a second yellow card after 83 minutes to kill off the Millers' fightback only for Hylton to ruin his perfect day with a straight red card a minute later.
Hylton opened the scoring after just six minutes with a close-range finish and doubled the Shots' advantage midway through the first half, rising the highest to head home Kieron Cadogan's free-kick.
Having been put through by Danny Rose, Hylton coolly slotted past Andy Warrington after 61 minutes for his third goal of the game.
Frecklington fired home a 71st-minute consolation from the penalty spot after his shot had been handled by Ben Herd.
However, Millers defender Arnason was sent off late on for a second-bookable offence before Hylton was also dismissed for elbowing Jason Taylor.

House Speaker Joe Straus today kept ruling against objections raised by Democrats who thought they found flaws in the controversial Voter ID bill.
Most of the official "points of order" focused on various House rules governing the establishment of legislation. Some are judgment calls.
State photo
Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio
Straus, R-San Antonio, ruled against three such objections. Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, then filed a point of order based on an alleged constitutional flaw with the bill.
The Voter ID bill would pull money out of the Texas mobility fund to finance free identification cards from the Department of Public Safety. The Constitution says money from the mobility fund must be replaced if the fund is reduced.
That did not happen with the Voter ID bill.
"The only way to allow for the reduction in revenue to the Texas mobility fund is to provide a different source of revenue," Martinez Fischer argued.It took the speaker and his parliamentarian more than 30 minutes to rule against Martinez Fischer.
Democrats have only 49 of the 150 House seats. Debate continues on the Voter ID bill, which will pass along party lines later today.
"We have to use what we have. We don't have a majority to win a vote," Martinez Fischer said. "We don't have powers of persuasion to talk 100 people off the cliff.
"But they ought to at least spot us the rules," he said. "They can kick our (butts) on any given day, but they have to do it right."
When objections based on House rules or the state Constitution got overturned, Martinez Fischer thought about retrieving a Bible from his Capitol office to see if House leaders would overrule Biblical rules as well.

ClickFuel Dashboard Provides Marketing Results For Publishers
By: Nu Yang
Founded in 2008, ClickFuel delivers online marketing services directly to publishers through a marketing dashboard called the Fuel Station. According to Click- Fuel, the solution is designed to be white-labeled and can be delivered to clients' advertisers separately or as part of a comprehensive service offering.
Chief executive officer and former president of Monster.com Steve Pogorzelski said what makes his company stand out is the transparency of its products. Each dashboard is customized, combining data across all marketing channels.
For the advertiser, the dashboard provides summaries highlighting best-performing lead sources, tracks campaigns, and manages links. A sales representative can use the dashboard to see client results, optimize analysis of customer data for recommendations, and present clients with reports detailing trends, clicks, and impressions.
According to Pogorzelski, at the end of 2012, there were 250,000 active dashboards in the marketplace, including publishing groups E.W. Scripps Co. and Gatehouse Media Inc.
User engagement has been strong, and Pogorzelski said users log in at least 1.2 times per week with each session lasting 15 minutes. Last year, ClickFuel saw a 25 percent increase in the number of products being tracked.
From a sales perspective, the dashboard makes a great marketing tool that can help sales teams predict certain data numbers. "At the back end, account managers can look at performance and provide better solutions," Pogorzelski said.
A 30-minute demonstration shows publishers a list of integrations and how they can save on time and costs.
Pogorzelski said turnover is usually six to 12 weeks, depending on what the customer needs, and pricing varies by the number of dashboards needed. Pogorzelski said there is no software to install. Instead, the system is built in a modular fashion based on what visuals the publisher wants to view. Advertisers and sales representatives can log in from any desktop, and mobile will be available later this year.
ClickFuel's corporate offices are located in Burlington, Mass. For more information, visit clickfuel.com.

The Icebox Project Space at Crane Arts will feature an innovative group exhibition entitled Ethnographic Terminalia from December 2-20, 2009. Scheduled to coincide with the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, this year in Philadelphia, the curators have brought together an international group of artists and ethnographers who are actively engaged in experimental and emergent cultural forms. Visitors are invited to join in a multisensorial happening that challenges the boundaries and borders that demarcate the margins of ethnographic, anthropological, and art practices. In this exhibition, a diverse group of artists and anthropologists present boundary troubling works in eleven separate installations. Each installation project in Ethnographic Terminalia offers a thought provoking and playful (or agitating) alternative to considering what lies both beyond and within imagined and constructed boundaries of the skilled practices of artists and ethnographers.
This exhibition features original works by: Trudi-Lynn Smith; Erica Lehrer and Hannah Smotrich; Kate Hennessy and Oliver Neumann; Marko and Gordana Zivkovic; Chris Fletcher; Roderick Coover; Jayasinhji Jhala; Craig Campbell; Mike Evans and Stephen Foster; Stephanie Spray; and Scott and Jen Webel. While these works are deployed within the rubric of anthropology they answer visual and aesthetic questions in unique and particular fashion, decentering the privileged categories of both ethnography and art through various mediums.
According to the curatorial team: "This exhibit will be of great interest not only to professional anthropologists but other public's as well. By drawing the studied methodologies of ethnography into a familiar art environment this collective exhibition delivers an all too uncommon challenge to disciplinary and professional boundaries. By engaging with the politics of representation, memory, documentation, and archive Ethnographic Terminalia will impress upon all visitors their own stake in the interpretation of cultural worlds." The works presented in Ethnographic Terminalia address the possibility of showing and interpreting cultural worlds outside of the traditional cinematic, museological, and textual frameworks of Cultural Anthropology while challenging the art world to consider the sensuous complexities and textures of everyday life.

SAN DIEGO -- A company founded by two pioneers of Amazon Web Service's popular Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) is joining OpenStack because it wants to integrate open source code into its cloud management platform product.
Perhaps even more important for the OpenStack community -- which is meeting in San Diego this week for its semi-annual design summit -- and its users could be what Nimbula's co-founders want to contribute back to the open source project. Nimbula's team wants to help apply their expertise in optimizing cloud systems that operate at massive scales, like Amazon's EC2, to the OpenStack project.
OPENSTACK NEWS: Cisco latest to release OpenStack distribution
MORE OPENSTACK: OpenStack 'clock is ticking,' Forrester analyst warns
Nimbula, based in Mountain View, has assembled an impressive team roster. CEO and co-founder Chris Pinkham is credited with leading the team that initiated and developed Amazon EC2 and was the vice president of IT infrastructure for Amazon.com before he left the company. Nimbula's other co-founder, Willem van Biljon, was also on the team that helped launch EC2, and Reza Malekzadeh, Nimbula's VP of marketing and sales, was one of VMware's first dozen employees and served as its director of marketing. VMware co-founder and former President Diane Greene is on Nimbula's board of directors, while Accel Partners and Sequoia Capital have contributed more than $20 million in venture financing.
Nimbula launched three years ago and has been shipping its cloud management operating system product, Nimbula Director, for more than two years. In February, it released the second generation of its cloud management operating system, which extended support beyond the KVM hypervisor to include VMware's ESX.
While Nimbula will compete with other cloud management platforms such as CloudStack, Eucalyptus and other OpenStack distributions, Malekzadeh says Nimbula's differentiation is in its EC2-like features within Nimbula's cloud OS. "We really looked at building something at scale, and to do that you need automation," he says. Nimbula features a federated cloud identity, he says, which allows administrators to manage multiple geographically distributed cloud deployments centrally, as well as orchestration of applications that can run across multiple cloud instances but be centrally managed as well.
While customers have been attracted to Nimbula's ability to scale across large cloud deployments -- which Malekzadeh says is because of its AWS EC2-like design -- the company wants to incorporate some open source code into its product, which is why it's joining OpenStack, Malekzadeh says.
As a member of OpenStack, Nimbula will initially provide compatibility with the OpenStack API, but soon the company hopes to integrate some of the core features of OpenStack into its product, most notably the compute (Nova) and storage (Swift) aspects. Malekzadeh says the Swift code is slightly more mature and ready to be integrated into Nimbula's product than Nova. The maturity of the code has been one thing some pundits have questioned about the OpenStack project. In return for being involved in the OpenStack community, Nimbula hopes to contribute code back to the project in the areas of scalability and automation.

Woman leads Florida troopers on high-speed chase
Roxana Scott, 28, held without bond
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – WKMG-TV obtained dash cam video of a suspected drunken driver leading troopers on a high-speed chase through east Orange County, at times reaching speeds of 115 mph.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the driver, Roxana Scott, 28, also claimed to be pregnant before being arrested.
Scott is currently being held at the Orange County jail without bond on charges of driving under the influence and fleeing and eluding police.
According to her arrest affidavit, the pursuit took place while Scott was out of jail on bond for charges of driving on a suspended license.
Troopers say the chase began shortly after 2 a.m. Thursday morning. An officer noticed a 2009 Lincoln weaving in and out of lanes along Alafaya Trail. The car turned onto University Boulevard and later turned onto Rouse Road.
According to the report, when a trooper turned on his lights and sirens to pull over the car, Scott took off, heading south on Rouse at speeds near 100 mph.
Dash cam video shows the Lincoln running a red light and then turning onto Colonial Drive. There, the car hit speeds of 113 mph. The driver then ran another red light to turn onto Dean Road, topping out at speeds of 115 mph.
The pursuit came to a crashing end on Dean Road just south of University Boulevard when an FHP cruiser struck the Lincoln's rear bumper. The crash maneuver is a Florida Highway Patrol approved technique to end a pursuit. The Lincoln slid into the curb and flipped on its side.
After the crash, troopers say they found a bottle of Hennessey that was nearly empty inside Scott's car.
On the dash cam video, you can hear Scott tell troopers that she drank a cup of Hennessey, is pregnant and in pain.
Scott was then transported to a local hospital. According to her arrest affidavit, Scott's urine tested positive for cocaine and marijuana but was negative for pregnancy.
A few hours later, Scott was released from the hospital and booked into the jail.
Scott has an extensive traffic record dating back to 2005, with charges of careless driving, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and another fleeing and eluding case from March 2013.

Something's been bothering me.
The other day while scanning Facebook, I noticed a sentence (
written by somebody I don't actually know personally out of my 600 closest, dearest
Seriously, and I'm
not kidding you, it said: "I put in my status about 3 hours ago and nobody "liked" it. I feel like a loser. Now I'm having a horrible day." 🙁
Initially I thought she was joking, until I read the responses that followed.
She. Was. Not.
How utterly heartbreaking that one's identity and self worth
could be altered by a simple click of the finger, a simple like or no-like.
Is this what we're all truly searching for as Sally Field blubbered
in her famous Academy Award speech?
"You like me. You
really like me."
Is the social media really that influential, powerful, and
dominant that it can manipulate and dictate, like a bully, somebody else's day to day disposition?
Unfortunately, sadly,
the answer is YES.
We all want to be seen, heard, valued, needed, and
But truthfully, the
social media IS NOT the place where we should be searching for fulfillment, love, validation.
For example, how many
friends you have on Facebook, or how many followers you have on Twitter does
not make you amazing & wonderful.
I mean, like, you could still be an asshole with 5000 followers.
For bloggers, listen
closely, it's not how many people read
your blog posts, or how many comments you acquire, so stop looking at your stats like it's the
end of the world.
If you're doing this, you may be severely disappointed. And if you're disappointed, you might sell
your soul to the devil, and if you sell your soul to the devil, you might lose the beautiful uniqueness of
your own voice.
Do not be, I repeat, do not be manipulated into writing for anybody but yourself.
For Facebook freaks,
it's not about how many 'likes' you get throughout the day. It's about how many "likes,' you get in Real
Life with Real People.
Get it?
Oh, I do hope you get it.
Because nothing can possibly become a substitute for a
living, breathing, pulsating human being.

Powerball Jackpot Grows For Saturday Drawing
The Powerball jackpot swelled after no one matched all the winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing.
Players are grabbing tickets in hopes of capturing the $270 million jackpot, or a $175.8 million cash prize, in Saturday's drawing.
$270 million is quite a cash haul but far from the record. The largest Powerball jackpot ever, totaling $587.5 million, came in November when a Missouri couple and an Arizona man split the winnings.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is 1:175,223,510.
Don't laugh. It could happen. Remember this South Dakotan?

In an unpretentious building on Pacific Avenue, members of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Stockton have quietly been gathering since 1930 to find, within themselves, the strength to better Stockton.
In an unpretentious building on Pacific Avenue, members of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Stockton have quietly been gathering since 1930 to find, within themselves, the strength to better Stockton.
One need only look at a poster bearing sketches of famous Unitarians - including Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Graham Bell, Margaret Sanger, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens and E.E. Cummings - to find their inspiration.
Although the brick building was opened in 1930, the church itself organized 100 years ago, on March 28, 1913, and members of the 140-member congregation will celebrate their century of existence with a dinner tonight. Interim minister Art Severance (the church is about to choose a permanent minister) will devote Sunday's sermon to the milestone and, over the next year, bits of history and memories will be shared during Sunday services.
Theirs is a rich story. The pipe organ, which is no longer playable, was built in London in the 1730s and had its pipes sounded by composer George Handel. It was sent to Christ Church in Cambridge, Mass., where George Washington worshipped and assembled the Continental Army. The organ was shipped around Cape Horn to the Unitarian Church in Palo Alto in 1907, and the Stockton church was granted use of it after a letter of inquiry was sent the Unitarian Church in 1935. The organ was renovated from 1965-68, after which it was celebrated at a church service.
As fascinating as the church's past may be for history buffs, Mary Bullard, a member since 1974, notes "the history of this church is the history of the people who have done so much in the development of this community."
Not all of the congregation's past deeds have been chronicled, but long-time members easily call to mind leaders and members whose work continues to resonate.
Harold Schmidt, minister from 1958 until his retirement in 1973, protested against the Vietnam war in Washington, D.C., in 1967 and marched in Selma, Ala., following the 1965 death of fellow Unitarian minister James Reeb in a civil rights protest.
Robert Green followed Schmidt as minister of the local church, and his work, Bullard notes, included helping to establish the Family Resource and Referral Center and working for the integration of Stockton schools.
The work they did and the positions they took were as men of conscience, driven by their sense of right, not by their title as ministers. Today's members carry on their work, individually and as a group.
Once a month, the Sunday collection is donated to a local nonprofit organization. Members adopt a family during the Christmas season, collect scarves and gloves in the winter and have a regular food drive. A large group from the church has plans to build houses with Habitat for Humanity in the near future.
For all the church's good works, members said the Unitarian faith remains misunderstood.
"I've had people ask, 'Why do you do good things ... if you're not (of the belief you're) going to be punished and go to hell?" Bullard said. "They say, 'You don't have a God telling you to do the right thing, so what keeps you doing right?' "
Fellow church member Kay Kirk Owen, a member since 1954, has had similar queries.
"Friends say, 'That's the church that doesn't believe in God,' " Owen said. "I say, 'Don't say that. They might. They may not believe in the same God you do. It could be female. You can interpret it any way you want.' "
The main difference between Unitarians and other Christians is their belief in a single deity as opposed to those who believe in the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Members are open to scientific explanations rather than holding an unquestioning belief in miracles or interpretations of the Bible.
Stockton members say it's the church that makes the most sense to them.
Owen's husband, Eduardo Kirk, was a lapsed Catholic. She had arrived at College of the Pacific in 1945 as a religious education student, but after taking required classes on the Old and New Testaments, she stopped believing in the Bible. They didn't attend any church, but were forced to later.
"Our son was having nightmares about the devil and hell, because the little boy across the street he played with went to some holy roller church," Owen said.
They needed answers and felt they found them in the Unitarian Church.
"Of course they don't know about the hereafter and they certainly don't believe in the devil or have a set creed," explained Dorray Johnson, who joined the Stockton church when she arrived in 1948 as a bride at age 20, having discovered the Unitarians while a student at the University of California, Berkeley. "They have seven principles they lean on. I thought everything (the church preaches) was so reasonable and logical. Man and womankind are here and they work for the betterment of mankind. We don't have to rely on some ethereal being out there someplace."
Members are taught to question from a young age.
"I was raised (with) 20 to 30 (young members) and I'm the only one left who still attends a Unitarian church," said Barbara Rule, who joined in 1946 as a child of 6 or 7. "I find that very sad. We were all raised to think and not rely on something else to control our behavior or assure us a safe passage to the next stage of our being, or not being. We were reared and educated to think. We spent hours and hours talking and exploring and calling in other ministers in the community and grilling them and trying to take apart their thinking."
Being a non-conformist is a virtue in the Unitarian church, which is inclusive and nonjudgmental. The Stockton church flies the rainbow gay pride flag and welcomes lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender community members with the same open arms it takes in agnostics, atheists and pagans, political conservatives and liberals.
Together, over the years, the church has been a voice of conscience for the community, Bullard said. Though not affiliated with any church growing up, she wanted her children to be members of a congregation, and leaning on some experience she'd had with the Unitarian Church while she was a student at the University of Washington, she gravitated to the church at Pacific and Bristol avenues.
"When we came back the second week, we were greeted by (a member) who said, 'I recognize you from last week,' " Bullard said. "I said, 'Yes, we liked what we heard and came back,' and he said, 'Well, you're going to see a lot fewer people on their knees asking and a lot more on their feet doing in this church.'
"I have repeated that so many times. It's so true. We have so many on their feet doing."

First two ingredients are named meat products, generally good quality ingredients
Minimum acceptable meat content
The first two ingredients in this food are all named meat products. The first is in meal form, whilst the second is inclusive of water content. Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight and may not be the true second ingredient in the food but rather more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. Since it was preceeded by a meat meal ingredient (already dehydrated) this alone does not give rise to concerns about the meat content of the food. There is a further meat meal ingredients 9th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make any substantial contribution to the overall meat content.
Rice is the primary grain in the food - and possibly the main ingredient overall. Rice appears in two forms, third and fourth on the ingredient list and combined could outweigh the meat named as the first ingredient. Oatmeal and potatoes are a further starch & carbohydrate source in the food.
We appreciate the use of whole egg in the food, though note the presence of a couple of fillers (rice bran and pea fibre). The latter are minor ingredients, however, and do not materially detract from generally good quality ingredients used in the food. There is a range of fruits and vegetables, and a good range of probiotics.
Overall, this product appears to use generally good quality ingredients and have a reasonable meat content. More meat would still be desirable though, and users might consider supplementing this diet with real meat. A 4* rating was considered on this basis.

Railroads Provide Work for Vets Returning from War
Railroads Provide Work for Vets Returning from War
NEWSROOM: Union Pacific
CONTENT: Article
OMAHA, Neb. May 10, 2013 (AP)
Mark Major once led a team of soldiers in combat in Iraq. Now he leads a team of railroad employees. The difference, he says, is obvious: "I'm not getting shot at anymore."
But it's the similarities between serving in the military and working for the railroad that draw Major and many other former military members to this type of work.
"For a veteran — a person who thrives off excitement, a mission and a chain of command — you tend to seek out companies like that," said Major, who has worked for Union Pacific for about two years.
As thousands of American soldiers return to the civilian workforce after service in Iraq or Afghanistan, many are finding jobs on the nation's rail lines. More than 25 percent of all U.S. railroad workers have served in the military.
Veterans have a long history of railroad work. Civil War veterans, for example, helped complete the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s. But railroad opportunities are especially welcome now because the unemployment rate for recent veterans remains higher than for the rest of the nation.
Major helps manage intermodal freight trains for the railroad in Oakland, Calif. He sought out a railroad job when he was getting ready to leave the military because of the challenges and independence it offered and because he had known other soldiers who went to work for a railroad and liked it.
"I'm infantry," Major said. "The 40-hour workweek, sitting in a cubicle doesn't really appeal.
The Labor Department says the unemployment rate for veterans who have served since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks improved last year but still registered 9.9 percent, compared with the 7.9 percent rate for nonveterans. The jobless rate for veterans between the ages of 18 and 24 was even worse — 20.4 percent in 2012.
The stubbornly high unemployment among veterans inspired the White House to launch a campaign called Joining Forces to encourage businesses to hire veterans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce led a similar effort called Hiring Our Heroes.
Partly as a result of those efforts, businesses have hired more than 125,000 veterans or military spouses and pledged to hire or train another 250,000 more by the end of 2014. But there are up to 800,000 unemployed veterans, and thousands more are constantly leaving the military as combat operations wind down in Afghanistan. The last U.S. troops left Iraq at the end of 2011.
Part of the challenge for veterans is that they have trouble describing their military experience in language that civilians can understand, said Kim Morton, spokeswoman for the Hiring Our Heroes program.
And veterans don't always choose to live in cities where they have the best chance of landing a job. Instead, many move back to their hometowns or to the city where a favorite base was located.
Railroad officials say veterans are well-suited to the work they do because of their training and the fact that they're used to working a 24/7 job.
"Military folks adapt well to the railroad environment," said Roy Schroer, Union Pacific's vice president of human resources.
The railroad is like having a factory with no roof, Schroer said, so prospective employees who are trained to accomplish difficult tasks under fire are attractive.
Certain railroad jobs are almost perfect fits for certain military jobs, said John Wesley III, BNSF's military hiring manager. For instance, someone who was an air traffic controller can become a train dispatcher rather easily. And mechanics who maintained diesel equipment in the military can use those skills to take care of locomotives.
Plus, skilled trades like plumbers and electricians are all needed in the railroads.
And even veterans who don't have special skills are still a good fit because railroads are willing to train them to be conductors or to do other jobs.
"For the most part, if the military has it, so does the railroad," said Wesley, who served in the Army himself for 22 years before joining BNSF in 2007.
Railroads pursue veterans by attending dozens of job fairs every year, employing recruiters who are veterans and offering classes for veterans to help them apply for civilian jobs.
When she was leaving the Navy in 1998, Sandy Suver was contacted by a recruiter because the railroad industry had figured out that air traffic controllers tend to make good train dispatchers.
Working at the railroad, she said, has always helped her feel like part of a team, and her contributions mattered — much like when she was in the military.
"It's a proud company with a proud heritage — very similar to the military," Suver said. "The similarities are uncanny sometimes."
Suver and her brother both interviewed with UP around the same time and got job offers. Later her husband also went to work for the railroad after his active-duty military career ended. But he joined the Army reserves just before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to complete his 20 years of military service and was promptly deployed.
The railroad took such good care of Suver and her family during that deployment that she says it's unlikely she'll ever leave UP. The railroad maintained her husband's life and health insurance and covered the difference between National Guard pay and his railroad salary so he wouldn't take a pay cut while deployed.
"UP took care of me and my family while my husband was gone," Suver said. "It just made a huge impression on me."
That's part of why Suver has become an unofficial railroad recruiter herself by talking about 15 other former Navy co-workers into joining Union Pacific.
Suver said the military is structured for safety and so is the railroad, which helped with her transition to a civilian job.
"That structure is very comfortable for someone who grew up in the military," she said.

Wardens: Missing hunter found
Ralph Bubar, 77, found Sunday evening
Maine game wardens say they have located a missing hunter in the northern Maine town of Hammond Township.
Wardens said Ralph Bubar, 77, of Linneus, was last seen in Houlton around noon on Saturday.
Investigators said his son went looking for him when he did not return home. Bubar's truck was found in Hammond Township, where he is known to hunt.
Investigators said at about 5:30 p.m. Marty Fitzpatrick, 37, from Littleton, located Bubar after Fitzpatrick and his family went to the end of a dirt road he was familiar with and yelled for him.
Bubar, who was in the woods for more than 24 hours, yelled back and Fitzpatrick helped him out of the woods.
Wardens said Bubar was taken to the hospital is expected to be OK.
Eleven wardens, along with two planes, took part in Sunday's search.
Local volunteers and Maine search and rescue dogs also helped out.

My brother is one of the coolest person,
That I consider him to become as my number one helper,
Who will always want to work hard,
And maybe one day he's going to go far.
And will always want to do better in school,
Not to stare into space,
Acting like a fool,
Unlike he use to.
My Mom will always pushed him,
To tried his very hardest to succeed,
As he always goes to class,
And be on time just to learn & read.
Whatever obstacle or path he choose,
At least he ain't got nothing else to lose,
At least we are the ones who's going to become far,
Because he shines just like the brightest star.
He is always so active,
And who always considers to play basketball,
With his school buddies,
But also decides to follow his own footsteps,
In any obstacle that he choose from now on.

KDE 4 Set to Make Device Interaction Solid
After a lot of hacking behind the scenes, a new initiative to improve KDE's interaction with network and hardware devices has been launched. Solid will provide a robust basis for the dynamic modern desktop in KDE, which needs to be aware of available hardware and networks, paving the way for innovative functionality. Users should see KDE applications taking advantage of Solid in KDE 4, from the most basic Plasma applets and complex applications to desktop-wide awareness. Developers will be able to take advantage of a robust, flexible and portable API and will be integrated into the Plasma engine. It will make use of existing technologies like HAL. Solid will also include a knowledge base providing a way for users to easily provide feedback on incorrect behaviour.
Nobody can be certain yet as to how Solid will be used by developers, but according to Kévin Ottens, Solid project lead, "Solid will be a giant leap for KDE. For example, the desktop will be able to deal wisely with your computer hibernating. You'd want network interfaces to go down and for network-enabled applications to gracefully handle the disconnection; USB devices should be synced to avoid data loss". In the long run we can even imagine turning on a bluetooth video screen and having every multimedia application provide you with the option of remote playback.
Not all of the ideas described so far will make it into KDE 4.0, but with more developers for the APIs, the Plasma engine and the knowledge base web site, much more can be achieved. Application developers are also encouraged to experiment with Solid, which will help it mature faster. If you would like to get involved in this exciting area of the free desktop visit the Solid web site and get in touch with the team.
Re: yet another layer ?
Honestly this is a core misconception of the Linux Desktop. You cannot leave low level stuff to distributors or set your desktop environment on it in an abstract manner.
It is time for the desktop environments to get into the dirty low-level stuff because only desktop environments can unify the mess the distributors diversity created.

Distributions Extinction
I dream of a day when all distributions will disappear. Thanks to Solid, we won't even a hardware control center, everything will work perfectly with zero configuration. For example, as I plugged in my Speedtouch USB Modem, KDE tried to copy my configuration from Windows, username, password and provider, but I won't have Windows, so from my local settings, KDE will pick my country by default and ask me to fill in two fields, username and password, also in a list, there is the list of all countries, but because KDE knows where this modem is generally used, it put those countries before any ( Yeah, If I press Ctrl and click on any region of the windows I can have access to very detailled settings ) finally because KDE knows I am not paranoiac and that I use BSD, It will select the right firewall security level.
By Youcha at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: Distributions Extinction
Somebody has to package software and distribute base packages, updates and bug fixes. That's the (literal) job of a distributor, aka distro. There's plenty of room for competition. They are the "open administrators" versus the "open developers" of KDE (or Linux, or BSD, or whatever)... they are complementary and do all the work so, for the user, it just works.

The main problem is DB. If we had data about your modem we could do something. For example, look at the kppp internet providers' list. It's nearly empty. Look at templates for KOffice applications. It's the same problem. Nobody want to contribute data, because it's harder than configure every new installation (it's not to often).

It could be done. Some LiveCD master for Kubuntu, for example. Debian tags can help. Select skeleton(server, client console, client X, client KDE). Add packages according to tags and package names. Select data to add to CDs or DVDs (documents, music, photos, ...). After all of this run script (that already exists) to build your custom distro. It's need Express Installer (in the terms of Kubuntu) in the skeleton. It could need visual choose of installer options (don't ask them during install of custom distro).

Editing; SuSEplugger
Solid seems to me to be promising. But the first thing I noticed about the web site is that the text is not as clear or as grammatical as it could be. Perhaps it was written by a speaker of English as a second language. Maybe it would be a good idea for a native speaker of English to volunteer to edit the text.
Could somebody who knows about both SuSEplugger and Solid explain to me the difference in functionality between the two? Also, what is the licensing for SuSEplugger? Could SuSEplugger code be used to speed the development of Solid?
By Paul Leopardi at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: Editing; SuSEplugger
I used SUSEplugger with kde 3.4 and earlier, but since kde 3.5 I use kio_media instead.
the knowledge base
I understand that the Solid libs needs to be KDE libs and that's great.
By patcito at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: the knowledge base
I don't think this is really necessary. Solid will use HAL servies etc. (depending what's available) and offer a KDEfied API for it. freedesktop.org so far is very Linux centric, while the purpose of Solid is to offer an abtracted API for accessing lower level information which can only be received in different way on different systems/platforms. The info of course is beeing shared since the code for that all is and will be in KDE's open SVN.

Qt bindings
Is it possible for things like the Qt-DBUS bindings, poppler-qt etc to be moved into kdesupport or equivalent? I really hate having to download svn code from another server just to try out things that are necessary, not optional ;)
Any other suggestions welcome, I'm currently using kdesvn-build to do all the hard work.

Re: Qt bindings
I don't think that the dot is the right place to discuss such things.
By Christian Loose at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Qt bindings
Well, the whole poppler (or dbus, whatever) project isn't going to move into kdesupport (any more than they would move into a Gnome archive, or an enlightenment archive), and the bindings are closely tied the underlying project. Also note that there are no KDE dependencies in the poppler-qt bindings, so why should it be tied to KDE? Sure, it will be used by KDE, but also by other, non-KDE, projects.
It is much easier to maintain the bindings in conjunction with the underlying code, and freedesktop.org is a good place to work on such projects.
By Brad Hards at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Qt bindings
kdesupport started out as a repository for dependency libs as a convenience to developers so that people didn't have to hunt down packages across the internet.
By Waldo Bastian at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Qt bindings
What about making it easy for KDE developers to use the bindings as well? Why should I have to check-out some svn code from a non-KDE repository just to get a working development KDE? Sure, I can do it. Do I want to? No.
Look, if kpdf relies on poppler-qt and I have to check it out of freedesktop.org, I just wont bother. I'll live without and use xpdf or something else. It's not going to affect the little bugfixes and enhancements I want to do in other parts of KDE.
But when it comes to Qt-dbus, that's a different matter and I hope that it's integrated into the KDE svn.
By ac at Fri, 2006/01/06 - 6:00am
Re: Qt bindings
> But when it comes to Qt-dbus, that's a different matter and I hope that it's
I'm working on that. It'll take time, so volunteers are welcome.
Currently it's being hosted on the KDE Subversion server pending freedesktop.org bureaucracy.

Re: Qt bindings
Heh, well with SVN you can stick external SVN sources into the tree. That would be a clean way to do it. Having stuff in SVN that requires manually syncing seems kind of in defiance of the point of downloading from SVN... to get the most-up-to-date.
By Ian Monroe at Fri, 2006/01/06 - 6:00am
Re: Qt bindings
> Having stuff in SVN that requires manually syncing seems kind of in defiance of the point of downloading from SVN
Actually not for those external libs. Our stuff often doesn't work with the in-development versions of those libs (e.g. HAL/DBUS and media kioslave).
So having a snapshot of those libs in our SVN that is known to work is IMHO a good idea.
By Christian Loose at Fri, 2006/01/06 - 6:00am
Does this mean kde4's kmail will not try to download my e-mail anymore when I unplug the cable (And WILL download it again when I plug it in)? Same for akregator, ... ?
By bruno at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: KMail
Yes I believe that this is the general idea. Any cable which you can poll for connection status would encourage this type behavior.
Eg. if you connect a beamer to your laptop Solid would detect this. As you usualy give presentations on beamers KDE might directly open up KPresenter on that screen or Impress. KOffice would be a sane default but OO.o might be selected by quite a few people. And when you disconnect the beamer then your Kpresenter would minimize on the standard screen. Of course if you enjoy watching movies on large screens on of the kde movie players might open full screen. Sane defaults unlimited customization.
This is something that would capture the bussiness scene by storm. The amount of time that people look stupid on any desktop os trying to get a beamer to work for presentations is huge!
By Jerven at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: KMail
the kmail developers could of course offer this functionallity NOW, but they would have to do lots of work to support the various distributions and other unixes. with solid, it would be easy. so it is much more likely they will do it...

Suse plugger
Hope Suse also will contribute code.
I would like to see a real YaSt integration into KDE, so other distributions can benefit from the great progress Suse provided us.
By Gerd at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Suse plugger
Please, do keep in mind that not everybody likes SuSE's YaST.
I always prefer plain vi for editing my config files, and don't like graphical configuration utilities for things more serious than desktop theme or favorite screensaver selection. KControl provides that and only that and that is sufficient. Also, I don't believe that I am the only one who thinks that way.
Btw, YaST is open-source and it is written in Qt (or has Qt backend if you prefer to say that way). I don't see any problem in integrating YaST into any distribution that wants it.
By Filip Brcic at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Suse plugger
I do agree, YaST to me is somewhat of a pain. What I dislike most about it is that it reads the config files rather than checking the actual status of say a device. What good is a tool, which is nothing more than a graphical frontend to configuration? KControl in that case is sufficient, most distros offer their own config tools which are way better, no YaST for me please. But hey, we're all using open operating systems, some Suse Linux, some FreeBSD, some might even be using something more exotic. So there, please yourself. As for solid, sure it sounds cool. Let's see what it turns out to be when we're there.
By Ron at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Suse plugger
Integrating YaST more into KDE does not make it distribution independent.
Re: Suse plugger
mostly tied to suse, i'm sure. some debian devs are trying to port it to debian, but it seems to be a lot of work...
suse DOES contribute to KDE, a lot, but not really with yast. KDE shouldn't even think about integrating something like Yast in KDE, imho (and they're smart: they don't). if Solid is here, there might be some work based on it to configure stuff, and that's great. but until then - the distro's are responsible for configuration of hardware and the underlying system. Suse does it great, with Yast, and most other distro's like mandriva have excelent tools, too.

Re: Suse plugger
..And we have Guidance for platform independent configurations :)
Sounds Cards
This would be perfect for exposing all of the sound cards installed in a computer!
Like (I'm sure) lots of other KDE users, I have more than one sound card installed. So everytime I install a new multimedia application, I have to spend loads of time configuring apps to use the right sound card (which also involves working out the device name of the second soundcard).
With Solid, one could just select the sound card from a nice pulldown list. And there's already code in kmix in kdemultimedia for detecting sound cards on a variety of different systems - which could be moved to Solid.

I love Jackit, arts, and other sound daemons.
I would like to see NON-KDE apps be able to automatically be redirected "hijack the audio stream) to artsd or jackd without having to use a artsdsp program: Arts and Jackit are great programs, but are often overlooked because people do not like the concept of abstraction. The great thing about them is the redirection of audio input/output which I use for recording all the time. Infact, when both daemons are working well it seems to be more effective than ASIO streams in windows.
Artsd also needs to have some sort of automatic buffer/latency optimization built in, because most of the problem with Arts has to do with system load vs. buffer size.

I'm just one of those women who have "happy periods" for the most part, when I'm not doubled over in cramps.
I love cute sanitary pads, and I'm a sucker for cute packaging.
At first I thought I was the only one who hoarded sanitary napkins when traveling abroad, even when I don't have my period. It turns out my sister and my friend Kathy used to do that too.
Not sure where I found this pack of Whisper Pinkcess, but I think it must've been Rustan's Supermarket.
I bought it because of the cute little package.
Finally used it last week and was really surprised, because at first I thought something must be wrong with me.
I had a cold vajajay. I thought it had something to do with my recent liposuction.
Later that afternoon I stared at the packaging. I can't read Chinese, but I figured that green breeze-looking thing that says i-co at the bottom probably meant menthol or something.
Which would explain the cold sensation. I lovett!! Perfect for the tropical weather.
Now if they can invent a napkin that relieves menstrual cramps, that would be perfect.

CARSON, Calif. - The LA Galaxy announced Friday that the club has signed defender Gregg Berhalter. The 35-year-old New Jersey native is a veteran of the U.S. National Team, having earned 44 caps during an 11-year international career that included a trip to the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups. Berhalter comes to the Galaxy following a 15-year club career that has seen him play in England, Germany and Holland. He arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday evening and trained with the Galaxy for the first time on Friday. He is eligible to make his debut for the club in Saturday's game against the Colorado Rapids.
"I'm really excited to be back in the U.S. and to be joining the Galaxy," Berhalter said. "I always wanted to play in MLS and the timing was perfect. I'd like to thank Bruce Arena and the entire Galaxy management for making this happen, and I'm looking forward to having success here."
"Gregg is an experienced and knowledgeable defender who will be an excellent addition to our club," Galaxy General Manager and Head Coach Bruce Arena added. "He is a good passer and organizer of the defense and I believe that he will help improve our team in the defensive end of the field."
A member of the U.S. National Team for more than a decade, Berhalter claimed the first cap of his international career on October 15, 1994, coming on as substitute in a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. He was a part of the U.S. team that reached the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup in Japan/Korea and played in two games at the tournament, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over Mexico in the Round of 16 and the 1-0 loss to Germany. Originally named an alternate for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Berhalter was added to the squad as an injury replacement for Cory Gibbs who was forced to withdraw prior to the start of the World Cup, but he did not appear in any of the three games in which the U.S. played. He also helped the National Team reach the semifinals of the 1995 Copa America in Uruguay, while also representing his country at the 1999 Confederations Cup in Mexico, helping the U.S. to the third place finish, and the 2003 Confederations Cup in France.
Additionally, the two-time All-American at the University of North Carolina was the captain of the U.S. Under-20 National Team which finished eighth at the 1993 World Youth Championship in Australia, playing the full 90 minutes in all four games that the U.S. played in.
Berhalter's club career began in 1994 when he elected to forgo his senior season at the University of North Carolina to sign with Dutch Eerste Divisie (Second Division) side, FC Zwolle. After two years with the club, in which he appeared in more than 40 games, Berhalter signed with Sparta Rotterdam in May 1996. He spent two seasons in the Eredivisie with Sparta, missing much of his second season with an ankle injury, before signing with fellow Eredivisie club Cambuur Leeuwarden at the end of the 1997-98 campaign. Fully recovered from his injury, Berhalter was a regular in the Cambuur team during his two seasons, playing in more than 50 games and scoring twice for the club. However, Cambuur was relegated to the Eerste Divisie following the 1999-2000 season and he left the club on a free transfer.
After six years in Holland, Berhalter moved to England, signing with Crystal Palace of the English First Division (now the Championship), where he was joined by current Galaxy teammate Jovan Kirovski. In the summer of 2002, he became the first player in Palace history to play at the World Cup, but he left the club shortly after the start of the 2002-03 season, moving to Germany to sign with Bundesliga side Energie Cottbus.
Berhalter spent four years with Cottbus, appearing in more than 100 games for the club in both the Bundesliga (2002-03) and the Second Bundesliga (2003-06). He scored nine goals during his four seasons with Cottbus, serving as the club's captain during his final two years there and helping them achieve promotion back to the Bundesliga following the 2005-06 season. After that season, Berhalter moved once again, signing with TSV 1860 Munich of the Second Bundesliga. He spent nearly three seasons with the club, appearing in more than 75 games and scoring nine goals before being agreeing to a mutual release from his contract earlier this week.
Berhalter and the Galaxy are back in action this weekend for a game against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, April 4, before hosting the same team in a U.S. Open Cup Play-In Game on Tuesday, April 7. Tickets for these games and all Galaxy home games are on sale now. For more information about these games or to purchase tickets, please call 1-877-3GALAXY or visit www.lagalaxy.com.
