The House Judiciary Committee on Friday voted to pass a bill that would restrict who can use license plate readers and limit how long data captured by license plate readers could be kept.
The Associated Press reported last month that Little Rock police have a license plate reader, but don't have a policy for how long the department keeps the data. The device enables police to keep an archive of license plate photos that show where motorists were at certain times.
Authorities say the devices help identify stolen cars and drivers with outstanding warrants, but civil liberties advocates have raised privacy concerns.
The bill now moves to the full House for a vote.

It's news like this that makes me think we should expand use of the death penalty. Life in prison should mean life in prison. I remember this event well. This scum should rot in prison until he starts his term in hell.

If there is no room in jail, or money for this immates, then give them the death penalty and problem solved. What they did is not forgivable, those children could have died. Let them die in jail or give them the death penalty but do not release them, they may harm others if allowed to be in the community.

I went to grade school and high school with this kid. I remember when he and his older brother and friend committed this crime, horrible. But the crime never fit the kid I knew, he was shy, and nice, we played and swam at a neighbors house. It is/was hard to reconcile that memory with this crime. I want to believe that due to his youth at the time he just completely misjudged the consequences of his actions. And I to this day don't believe he instigated this crime, not that it matters. Certainly his punishment was just. I just wanted to put a bit of a human face on this. While many, many people understandably would disagree with me, I am glad he didn't get the death penalty and I hope and pray that he is reformed.

All three of these turds should have fried. I recall this very well. They may not have caused substantial physical harm to the children kidnapped, but their lives were negitivly altered forever. The emotional scars never go away. All of those children could have died, as was previously stated. I get what Sad is saying, but, if someone is such a follower that they are willing to walk away from the good inside them to follow bad, they are just as dangerous as plain old evil....maybe worse, because they know better.

Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones engineer Andy Johns died Sunday (April 7) at the age of 61.
Johns began his producing career as a tape operator at London's Olympic Studios after quickly ditching a career as a musician. His first job was assisting fellow producer Eddie Kramer on Jimi Hendrix's Axis: Bold as Love.
"I am deeply shocked to hear of the passing of a dear friend and fellow producer/engineer who had fantastic ears and was a member of a special club of guys who were raised and taught the 'right way' by the best British engineers," Kramer told Billboard. "The records he made were some of the greatest in rock and roll."
Johns produced early albums by Humble Pie and Free, but where Johns really left his mark was as an engineer. Some of his most notable engineer credits include four Rolling Stones albums–Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goat's Head Soup, It's Only Rock & Roll–and five Led Zeppelin records from 1969's II through 1975's Physical Graffiti.
After moving to Los Angeles in 1970, he worked with Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Eddie Money, and many others.
Johns' signature as a producer/engineer was the live feel of his works, aiming to transport listeners to the very room where the albums were recorded.

With President Bush's recent veto concerning stem cell research funding, hope for finding quick cures to many devastating diseases has dimmed in this country. However, there is still a bright spot on the horizon for sufferers of juvenile diabetes.
Unlike type 2, or adult onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes is an autoimmune disease that only strikes children and young adults, and it can't be managed simply by changing eating and exercise habits. Also called "insulin-dependent" diabetes, the Type 1 version involves the complete shutdown of the pancreas, the body's natural insulin-producing organ. Without insulin, we can't process the food we eat. Blood sugars quickly climb to toxic levels while the body essentially starves.
Insulin injections provide life support to millions of Americans -- including my son -- but they aren't a cure. It's a daily game of "whack-a-mole" with life or death consequences, as sufferers alternately treat high and low blood sugar levels by administering insulin or carbohydrates. Over the long haul, diabetes takes its toll on the body, affecting the eyes, liver, heart, circulatory system, etc. It's not a pretty picture.
Luckily, through efforts of single-minded organizations like the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the likelihood of finding a cure during my child's lifetime is extremely high. Several promising therapies are coming closer to fruition -- from a "closed-loop" artificial pancreas that senses insulin needs and dispenses the hormone without human interaction, to targeted transplants of insulin-producing islet cells without the need for dangerous anti-rejection drugs.
The House and Senate have caught the excitement from their constituents over the closeness of a cure. In a rare show of bipartisan support, Senators Dorgan (D-ND) and Domenici (R-NM) have introduced a bill to reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program. This past week, Representatives DeGette (D-CO) and Kildee (D-MI) introduced the House companion bill. These bills will extend the Special Diabetes Program for five years and increase funding from $150 million per year for type 1 diabetes research to $200 million per year.
Despite the tremendous support for the bill, JDRF is urging voters to contact their representatives this week to ask for their vote in favor of S.1494 in the Senate and H.R. 2762 in the House. To make it easy, JDRF has set up a Web page that will automatically e-mail your legislators and ask for their vote. It takes only a minute, and could help millions lead longer, healthier and happier lives.

Sign for freedom39
- 20.11.2012, 15:21
Collecting signatures on a petition to the leaders of the EU to help the liberation of political prisoners continues.
The MEP from Poland, Marek Migalski, a "godparent" of two political prisoners, initiated this campaign. The europarliamentarian took godparenthood for Siarhei Kavalenka and Dzmitry Bandarenka. Fortunately, they have been released from colonies and at moment they are with their families.
«Therefore, it is time to help to next prisoners of conscious, call to release and rehabilitate those, who have the most difficult situation at the moment», - said in the web-site of campaign.
the campaign organizers urge anyone who cares about Dmitri Dashkevich and Mikalaj Statkevich to sign PETITION to leaders of the EU member states, to make them continually remind about Belarus prisoners of conscious, who are prosecuted, oppressed and treated in an inappropriate way in colonies.
Along with Marek Migalski, co-authors of the petition was Mikola Statkevich's wife, Marina Adamovich, and Zmitser Dashkevich's fiancée, vice-president of "Young Front", Nasta Palazhanka.

MIAMI - Pat the pooch is a 4-year-old English bulldog with the sweetest temperament.
"She hasn't lost her trust in people. She hasn't lost her faith," said Kathy Labrada with Miami-Dade Animal Services.
Pat is scheduled to die at any minute.
"It's difficult to know that every dog that comes in isn't going to have the chance to go home," said Labrada.
It's a reality Miami-Dade Commissioner Pepe Diaz calls unacceptable.
"Enough is enough. Let's start looking for solutions instead of putting blocks not to do something," said Diaz.
He has proposed the idea of a no-kill policy at the new public shelter that is being built in Doral. But, is it even possible in South Florida? After all, there are only so many cages.
"I don't think you could make a public shelter big enough," said Alex Munoz, the director of Miami-Dade Animal Services.
He supports "no-kill" and says it's feasible with the right programs, for example shipping dogs and cats to colder states where there are fewer homeless pets, or setting up mini adoption shops across the county to make getting a pet convenient for consumers.
"You want something that's welcoming that kind of gives you that retail experience," said Munoz.
He feels it will take a village to make "no-kill" work. He needs donations, volunteers and, most of all, people who are willing to open up their homes to pups like Pat before it's too late.

Former "ER" star Maura Tierney is headed to the stage.
The actress, who dropped out of NBC drama "Parenthood" last year in order to undergo treatment for breast cancer, will appear in the play "North Atlantic," Variety reported.
The play – about a peacekeeping group in the North Atlantic on an aircraft carrier — will also star "Burn After Reading" actress Frances McDormand.
"North Atlantic" will run in Los Angeles from February 10-21 and in New York, from March 10 – April 25.
The Wooster Group will produce the show.
On Sunday, Maura's former "Parenthood" co-executive producer, Jason Katims, updated reporters on the actress' condition.
"She's doing well… She's doing really good," he told reporters at NBC's Television Critics Association panel for "Parenthood." "She's in treatment and I spoke to her a few weeks ago and she's doing good."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, last September, an NBC rep announced that Maura would be exiting "Parenthood" as she continued to undergo treatment for breast cancer. Show production had previously been postponed to allow for the star's medical evaluation. Lauren Graham, formerly of "Gilmore Girls," was later cast in the role.

If your device has an SD card slot in the first place then there's no need for giant (expensive) storage. You'll just fill it with multimedia anyway and SD cards can do that.

Haha what a waste of money. Apple, give the fanboi's something! Anything at this point that is different. Every single mobile device they make looks the exact same. Hahahah! Crying shame.

How is pricing on par with storage? This is just ridiculous...
31. Nobuga (Posts: 9; Member since: 31 Jan 2013)
Indeed, makes no sense. Only brainless people buys iGarbage.

I support this 100%, but it should be the Nexus 7 way where they simply double storage for the same price range. As a matter of fact, no fullHD device should kick off under 64gigs considering the insane bitrate videos at that resolution require, not to mention your stored music, multimedia files, 13MP photos, games and navigation stuff before we even get to having free space for occasional file transfers, movies or family videos.
Why carry an extra storage device around? The first company that will start their product range with an about $25 costing 64GB NANDFLASH will make millions of new customers.

finally apple did something better then other manufacturer .....hah...
this is a real difference ...

So much storage.
So little to do with it.
So much to pay for it.
It's like adding more fried potatoes to an overcooked smelly bony steak. It won't make up to the fact that the steak sucks big time.

If you want to get into the technical details, the 128 GB iPad 4 is a non-x86 tablet with the biggest NAND internal storage. The Archos 5 is a 4.8" Android tablet made nearly 3 years ago and was available with 500 GB of storage, albeit it basically had a 2.5" laptop HDD in it. Many of the Windows 7/8 tablets made within the last year already offers 128 GB of internal storage as well.
10. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
archos 101 g9 has a 250gb hardrive so technically wouldnt that be the tablet with the most internal memory
12. VJo003 (Posts: 360; Member since: 11 Mar 2012)
Good to see 128 GB
Now hopefully the next Nexus will double that
Keep raising the bar apple
14. L3610n (Posts: 47; Member since: 01 Jul 2011)
Not true. If this was the case then I must be imagining my Acer w700 windows 8 pro tablet with an i5 processor which also has 128 gb of internal storage, which I am using right now to type this.

16. jacko1977 (Posts: 428; Member since: 11 Feb 2012)
well what about android tablets with 64GB and 64GB microSD card so this largest amount of internal memory is now officially the iPad 4 is not true microSD is still internal it goes in the tablet
18. techguy22 (Posts: 227; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
meh. get a freaking laptop.
19. tward291 (Posts: 559; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
Phonearena why are you lieing, do some research before you post this crap. I count at lease 2 tablets that have 128Gb on it. Also be for you bash the surface pro it runs PC software its been explained you can easily off load the recovery partition to and external hard drive to get your space back. For the love of God get off apples nuts.
20. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
$929 for a 4g 128? lol NO
25. yougotkilled1 (Posts: 167; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Right?? That's a surface pro price where you can run real 3rd party apps on it. What a waste....
21. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Not for Long. Samsung will steal the limelight soon in this regard ... also.
23. bubbadoes (Posts: 1225; Member since: 03 May 2012)
and still uses the same boring ios 6.1 as a $200 ipod touch, and is the most expensive tablet across any platform.
24. bubbadoes (Posts: 1225; Member since: 03 May 2012)
wow. you could get a brand new refurbished mac pro for this price--by adding a couple of hundred dollars more...what is apple thinking
26. antmiu2 (Posts: 406; Member since: 19 Jun 2011)
i cant believe the cheapest ipad starts at 500 bucks
27. phljcnth (Posts: 498; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Doesn't make sense especially that you can't just put files easily to it. Congrats for having the most internal storage, but still the most expensive.
28. nikenturd (unregistered)
Lemme yawn first, 64 gigs of class 10 microSD costs just well under 35 bucks compared to Apple's asking premium., 64+64 = 128......just sayin
29. nikenturd (unregistered)
For $800 you can buy a fast i3 laptop (or a good enough gaming desktop) with plenty of storage space to boot and a mid priced smartphone like the Nexus 4 or the Nexus 7 for portability.... Wow...Apple, seriously???

Alameda police will stage a DUI checkpoint Saturday night as part of the "Avoid the 21" annual holiday crackdown on suspected drunken drivers.
The location of the checkpoint was not disclosed. The announcement follows Alameda police arresting a motorist Dec. 15 in Oakland while taking part in the anti-DUI campaign, which is named after the number of local law enforcement agencies that take part and features stepped-up patrols and checkpoints.
The campaign began Dec. 14 and will continue through the New Year. The 19-year-old driver in Oakland was pulled over about 1:20 a.m. in the 10000 block of International Boulevard, where he was driving without his headlights on and later failed field sobriety tests, police said.
Alameda police also arrested a motorist less than an hour later on suspicion of drunken driving at Willow Street and Lincoln Avenue.
The 31-year-old man was driving about 60 mph in a 25-mph zone and did not stop for three red lights, police said.
Along with vehicle code violations, the man was booked on suspicion of resisting police because officers said he struggled with them as he was being arrested. They used pepper spray, hit the man with batons and placed him in a "carotid restraint," or choke hold, while taking him into custody, police records show.

The Giving Season: More Ridiculously Expensive Gifts Celebrities Buy Their Boos
Everyone is all hype about OchoCinco's gift-giving. But we've seen it all before.
Let's look at some highly impressive gifts these celebrities delivered to their significant others. They range from cars to freakin' islands! Eat your heart out, Ocho. We just hope all you golddiggers out there don't get ideas. These are just for the betrothed.
Kris' Ring – He bought Kimmy a ring that was probably actually purchased by her reality show. But whatever, it's still huge! Now he wants it back? Sad.
Tyson's Tub – Mike bought Robin a $2 million tub! Another broad that didn't deserve it.
Kobe's Apology – All it took was a little accused rape to get Kobe to cop a $4 million ring for his angry wife. Seems like that worked!
Tom's Toys – As part of his sham marriage, Tom bought out FAO Schwarz for Katie to buy gifts for their little one…and probably have backroom Scientology meetings.
Beyonce's Bugatti – She's on another level. To make her man smile, she bought him a $2 million Bugatti. As if just being like "you're married to Beyonce" isn't enough.
Jigga's Getaway – Get this: Jay bought his wife an ISLAND! It was $20 million. We hear Memphis Bleek is there right now mixing up martinis in case Bey wants to vacay there.
Continue Slideshow
Angelina's Wheels – Brad Pitt knows his wife is an action star. So he bought her a super rare MV motorcycle for $18,000. No comment about her "riding".
David Beckham' Booze – "Wife, what kind of wine do you want?"
"No preference"
"How about a whole vineyard?"
"That'll do."
"That's how we imagine the conversation went."
Nick's Phantom – What do you get a half-billionaire? A new Phantom will do. She actually went to labor in that car. That's arriving in luxury.
Khloe's Role Reversal – Aren't ballers supposed to buy their wives the whips? Khloe flipped the script by getting her man a Rolls Royce. It'll be nice to drive that around Dallas.
Jessica's Meta-Gift – She bought Tony Romo a motorboat! Get it? Because he probably motorboated her all the time! Ha! But her cans didn't cost $100K like the actual boat.

i've tried out two hard drive witht the same effect: On random and frequntly occuring instances, my hd sound like it just powers off, then just as quickly powers back on again. It sounds like when you have a really loud fan and you turn the fan off then on again. These 'hiccups' are about a 1/2 a second each, so very short, and last night was the first time i got an error message of someting about a write error to the hd.
I'm thinking it the power supply. Can anyone confirm this? Has this happened to anyone before?

A new thread was started with a broader OP so, despite me joking that it felt more like a conspiracy theory than something factual, the thread was obviously left open for discussion. I never did see a single response that agreed with the conspiracy theory posed by the OP, but an even broader discussion about DC and the development of all young players under him (not just JV) ensued.
As a result, the multiple threads discussing the same topic have since been merged, rather than having 2 or 3 identical conversations going on. DC's coaching style/decisions and how they relate to the development of young players (including JV) is certainly a worthwhile topic for RR posters to discuss.
Anytime you disagree with something going on, or don't understand why something was done, please feel free to send a PM to myself or any of my fellow mods/admins. I promise you, none of us are tyrants... most of the time

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by John Picard, Jun 1, 2010.
As sidious618 likes to say, I'm the Tony DiNozzo of the real world.
"You boys like Mexico?"
Some I use....
"This aggression will not stand, man." - The Big Lebowski
"You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?" - Tombstone
"Hey, I'm just helping her conceive, man." - The Big Lebowski
"Well, there it is." - Amadeus
I often catch myself saying, "But that is not this day."
not film, but TV: i will frequently say 'milky milky' when getting milk from the fridge.
or 'laaaaaard' when referring to lard.
filmwise, i do say i'll be back in a cod Austrian accent a fair bit... or 'no problemo'...
Oh, I should probably admit my sin here. I also say, "The line must be drawn here. This far and no further" when I'm at work and chewing out an employee for something stupid.
I quote The Big Lebowski like it's the bible. Seriously, it's probably easier for me to count the times I can't slip in a Dude reference.
^ The book of Duderonomy?
"Get to the chopper!"
"I find your lack of faith disturbing."
"We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks... "
"Game over, man. Game over, what the fuck are we supposed to do now?"
"One does not simply [verb] into [noun] / There is evil there that does not sleep / A great eye, lidless; wreathed in flame."
From novels:
"I am a swave and debonair aviator."
"I have not yet begun to fight!"
"Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!"
No doubt there are many others, but those are the ones that spring immediately to mind.
My family and I tend to work either A Christmas Story, or sometimes Monty Python and the Holy Grail references into many conversations. A Christmas Story is quoted year round, whenever it is appropriate.
if my mums using her sewing machine I'll sometimes say
"make it so"
or if my partners trying to make toast i'll normally say
nothing like the smell of napalm first thing in the morning
One I always want to use, and have to try hard not to in business meetings (back in the day when I still worked) is:
"You're telling me what you need, I'm telling you what we have to work with. I'm not making this stuff up." From Apollo 13.
Just this moorning, when I hd a brain fart moment I said to myself..."Brain, brain, what is brain?"
One more that I picked up from a movie (can't remember which one) that I use to comment on other people's driving :
"Are you trying to drive or are you using The Force?!?!"
I sometimes say "that wasn't such a chore, now was it?" to myself after accomplishing something.
"I say we nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." A paraphrase, but very useful in a lot of situations.
And of course, "Excellent", in a Mr. Burns voice.
Occassionally -- and I got someone else quoting it now:
"Fuck the fucking fuckers!"
They *always* fuck you at the drive thru!
My response to someone asking me to do just one more thing when I'm busy: "You know, I'd love to, but I've got a war to start, a wife to kill, and Guilder to blame for it. I'm swamped!"
For no real reason: "Why am I covereds in goo?"
I don't dress up for Halloween so when asked I say "I'm a homicidal maniac, they look just like everyone else."
"Damn you, vile woman!"
"I know you are but what am I?"
"U-G-L-Y you aint got no alibi."
wouldn't be complete without this:
Really like using: "You ugly, you oogly."
"God damn it! I'd piss on spark plug if I thought it'd do any good."
Really I watch too many movies and too much TV, cause there are more.
I recently quoted Scarface (no, not that one) upon leaving the table after losing badly at Poker.

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by King_roger, Jan 1, 2013.
Sorry guys, this is the last one - I promise.
Any ideas ?
anyone ?
I don't know what it is, but that is one nice watch.
If I remember right, I thought he had something with Longines. It kinda looks like a different color of this one.
Its called an "Admiral" and is going for $1,500
Not the Longines Admiral, it's the Twenty-four Hours.
On the back it says "merry christmas, love maria"
Boring thread up until this post...
Thanks for the solution buddy!
But why are all those watches so extremely expensive ?
Sometimes it's the movement (in very rare instances though). Most of the time, the expense of the watch is due to it's brand name and marketing. There are a few watch companies out there that use high-grade caliber movements and make good time pieces that are about a 10th the cost of the major named ones and just as good. You have too really look and choose correctly, but they do exist.
Not only the name/marketing, but the materials. Absurd quality leather, white gold, diamonds...

Mother accused in abduction case, held on $200,000 bail
Patricia Kane, 49, of Manchester, is facing extradition to Vermont where she is expected to be charged with felony counts of custodial interference and second degree unlawful restraint. A fugitive hearing has not been held.
When Kane's son, Zachary Lee, 12, did not arrive at his Sunderland foster family's home after being dropped off by a bus on Monday, he was reported missing at 4:46 p.m. The Amber Alert was issued at 8:35 p.m. by law enforcement.
According to Vermont State Police, at 11:29 p.m. a person who had seen Kane and Lee's photos from the Amber Alert contacted police to say they had seen them at the Canoe Restaurant in Hanover, N.H. Hanover Police went to the restaurant, but Kane and Lee were gone. They were found at the Lyme Country Inn in Lyme, N.H. Lee was safe and sound, and turned over to the custody of Vermont Department for Children and Families.
Kane was taken into custody without incident by New Hampshire State Police, and Hanover Police.
Police feared Kane might take Lee out of the country. Lee was recently repatriated from France. According to Vermont State Police, Kane is believed to be "unstable" and has a history of making failed abduction attempts on Lee while he was in France.
Amber Alerts began in 1996 after Amber Hagerman, nine, was abducted and murdered in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. They can only be issued by law enforcement agencies.

Blackphone Promises to Block Snooping
6 comments post a comment
Geeksphone and Silent Circle promise their new smartphone will lock out spies. But the details, including how it works, aren't clear.
With NSA-fueled angst running amok, two mobile-focused companies, Geeksphone and Silent Circle, have joined forces to create the Blackphone, a smartphone designed to put users in control of their privacy. The Blackphone will be available unlocked and off-contract to users who want to maintain a firmer grip on their personal data.
Details about the Blackphone are sparse. Geeksphone designs consumer-grade smart devices that are perhaps best known for supporting Firefox OS. The Madrid company's Firefox-based smartphones are available online. Silent Circle was formed in Washington, DC, by a former US Navy Seal and provides encrypted communications services.
The Blackphone runs a modified version of Google's Android platform called PrivatOS and is carrier and vendor independent. Backers of the device say it will give consumers and businesses control over their privacy. For example, the Blackphone can make and receive secure phone calls, exchange secure texts, transfer and store files, and video chat without compromising user privacy. Neither Geeksphone nor Silent Circle provided information on how the Blackphone accomplishes these feats.

Hello everyone. This is driving me freakin nuts. My ZoneAlarm Pro subscription expired a couple of weeks ago and ever since, I get the following annoying-as-helll pop-up every time I boot up:
"Important Service Expiration Notice...Your subscription has expired." blah blah blah
Yeah, I know it has expired and I have no intention of renewing it at the moment...I may later, but not now. I do however, have every intention to keep using my **paid for** version of ZoneAlarm Pro (just without the added "benefits" of the annual subscription fee).
So how then, does one shut this off? What is the Reg hack to do this, because it's obvious that Zone Labs went out of their way to NOT let you do this easily. Yes, I've tried: Overview > Preferences > "Check for product updates manually" but this has no effect on this lousy pop-up, which I deem quite abusive on the part of the folks from Z.L.
Version: Zone Alarm Pro 5.5.094.000
OS: Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Pro
Thanks to anyone that can help me out here.
Operating System:Windows 98-SE (Second Edition)
Product Name:ZoneAlarm Pro
Software Version:5.x

Rumors are spreading like wild fire in the AC/DC world. Is the band breaking up? Are they working on new music? Depending on which music publication you read, there doesn't seem to be any concrete answers and the band isn't talking either. Here's a breakdown of the reports.
The Australian rockers are back in Australia and in a radio interview, entertainment commentator Peter Ford reports that founding guitarist Malcolm Young has returned to Australia to live with his family and for "his own personal reasons he may not want to continue to perform with the band." Speculation includes a terminal illness, but nothing has been confirmed as of press time.
The band members also allegedly have a pact that no one else will join the group if one decides to quit. So when somebody leaves, the group will end. None of the members have spoken out about a possible hiatus or breakup, though.

When Radio.com reached out to the band's label via email, they replied with a quick "No statement coming at this time."

Jan. 18, 2012 – Wisconsin's new Voter ID Law requiring voters show an acceptable photo identification document before voting officially starts with the 2012 February Spring Primary Election. An acceptable photo ID must be presented before voters can receive a ballot.
Acceptable forms of ID do not have to have a current address. The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board's list of acceptable forms of ID include:
The identifications above must have an expiration date after Nov. 2, 2010.
Free voter IDs are available. The law requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide free ID cards to any individual who will be at least 18 years of age on the date of the next election and who requests a free ID for the purpose of voting. The regular fee is $18. Due to the need to provide a birth certificate and other documents to receive a DOT-issued ID, individuals should begin the process of obtaining a statutory identification well in advance of an election in which they wish to vote.
com akees kimandlavoy Anna Kees, Marquette University Law School 2009 (concentrating on criminal law) is an associate attorney at Kim & LaVoy, S.C. in Brookfield, Wisconsin. She practices criminal defense, representing clients in municipal, state, and federal cases across Southeastern Wisconsin.
If a voter can't present a valid ID on Election Day, she may still cast a provisional ballot. In order to have that vote counted, the voter must either return to the polls that day with appropriate ID, or show appropriate ID to the municipal clerk by 4 p.m. the following Friday.
In order to vote in a Wisconsin district, a voter must have lived in Wisconsin for 28 consecutive days before the election. If a voter is otherwise eligible to vote, except the requirement that she moved to Wisconsin less than 28 days before the election, she is entitled to vote for the president and vice president but for no other offices.
If a voter is required to show proof of residence, her neighbor can no longer vouch for her. Documentary proof is required. Proof of residence is required for:
Some acceptable forms of proof include:
In previous years, early voting began a month before the election and continued until Election Day. In 2012, early voting will begin on the 15th day before the election and end on the Friday before the election. This change in the law cuts the early voting period by more than half.
Voters may automatically receive absentee ballots for every election held in 2012. But if a voter fails to return any absentee ballot for any election the clerk will stop sending her ballots automatically.
The Government Accountability Board no longer trains statewide Special Registration Deputies (SRDs). SRDs must be appointed by local election commissioners and municipal clerks to collect registration forms within a municipality. An SRD can serve more than one municipality, but he/she must register with each. SRDs must turn in all registration forms by 5 p.m. on the 20th day before the election and cannot collect registrations less than 20 days before an election.

>Running 101>Been sick since before Christmas
I haven't been able to run since before Christmas. If you look at my training log I was runnng up until Dec. 19, averaging 25-28 miles per week. Given I have been off for so long how long will it take me to get back to where I us. I am a little concerned since I only started running this past summer. So I am still a very new runner.I got a new pair of runners over the holidays, and they are still sitting in the box waiting to be used. The doctor has me on antibiotics right now. I am hoping to b back to running this Saturday. But I have said that every week for the last 3 weeks. I also bought a garmin 610 ast week as it went on sale. (<$300). But again its sitting in the box. I havent had the energy to set it up yet. Thankfully the marathon I am targeting isn't until the end of October. Thanks for the advice.
Start running and see what it feels like.
I was worried after missing a few days over Christmas and then being sick that it would take me a while to get back on schedule, but after a few very slow runs I was able to take a couple more days off and now I'm right back on schedule.
My heart rate is still a few beats higher than I would expect for the pace that I'm running, but I feel like I'm right back in the swing of things.

Start running and see what it feels like.
^^^^ This nails it.
Each person's experience is unique. My experience is that cardio comes back faster than muscle strength...you'll have some soreness. That's to be expected. Recommend you start out by walking for 30 - 60 minutes for a few days, then start jogging part of the walks and build from there.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
I agree with this, as well. Don't worry too much about distance or speed at first - just get out there when you can.
I started running this summer and was up to about 20 mpw before I pulled my groin. Yesterday was my first run in 3.5 weeks and I was about a minute slower than usual. I felt it more in my lungs than in my legs, but my legs are definitely sore today. Today's run felt much better than yesterday's and my pace was roughly the same. I plan on just taking it day-by-day.
Feel better soon.

Agreed, or you can even try going out for a brisk half hour walk and see what that does.
Thanks everyone.

It wont take as long as it will feel like it will the first few times.
Just go out and run, do NOT push the pace or try to get back where you were. Just run. Run easy for at least a week until you are sure you aren't going to kick-off a relapse. Looking at your log I would keep the runs in the 2-3 mile range. Nothing long, nothing tempo. Then go by feel after that.
My experience is for a period of time you will feel like you have lost major ground, your speed is low, your endurance is shot, you can't hit your old paces. Then the cobwebs will shake out and all of a sudden it will be like you never took time off at all.

"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
Coming back after getting sick, injured, or just taking time off is all a part of running. The key is not getting discouraged when you get your bad self back out there.
Runners run. They might not run all the time or real far or real fast, they just run. After you've restarted countless times like I have over the last few decades, getting started again is like an adventure you can relish, not an arduous climb back up a hill you fell off of.
Don't put any pressure on yourself for the next month as far as performance, but by all means get your butt back out there.
Finally got out for a run today. Still not quite 100% yet, but definately an impovement. Only did a short 2 miles. Will need to take it easy for the next week.

+1 to all of this - I am in a similar situation to you, OP, in that I was consistently sick for the entire month of November (one thing after another - flu, stomach flu, some sore throat thing, sinus infection, stomach flu again....) and I am just now getting back into running. What I notice is that my heart and lungs are fine but my legs are a little sore after running for half an hour. Which, frankly, makes me want to rend my garments and weep, because I worked damn hard to get back into shape in 2012 after having my son in October 2011, and before I got sick I was almost at the point of running a 10k PR. but the good news is that I clearly didn't lose as much aerobic fitness as I expected during the 2-month layoff. And I'm sure that's the same for you. Just remember, you have nothing to lose by taking it slow at first. The suggestion to go for walks first is a very good one.
tl;dr. I feel your pain. Good luck!
Gotta Flee Em All
The OP said nothing about his or her symptoms other than that they have persisted for weeks and that they have required antibiotics. Nothing. We know nothing about whether this is some mild persistent sniffle or something that is deeply serious.
How can anybody provide advice to run or not run?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
The OP didnt ask for advice on whether to run or not. The OP stated an intention to run and asked how long we thought it would take to get back to pre illness performance
Ive been a runner off and on for years now. Im just getting started back into it. I have been sick for several days. I tried to start running again, but got a relapse of the flu. My advice, for what its worth, would be to make certain that you are feeling "normal" before you start running again, and make sure youre not running a fever of any kind. As far as milage goes, since you have only been running since the summer, if I were you, I would start running with the goal of only hitting about half my weekly mileage the first week, if you make it through the first couple of runs without any ill effects, no pun intended. If you hit that goal, then boost it up to 3/4 of your normal mileage. Then depending on how good you feel, you can ramp it back up to normal. You have your whole life to live the running lifestyle, don't push to hard and get injured, or so sick youre out for a long time. The new shoes and gps system will still be there when you get goin.
God bless,
And how can you answer that question without knowing what the OP had?
