There is, in fact, Florida Statute 101.151 which states "(3)(a) Beneath the caption and preceding the names of candidates shall be the following words: "To vote for a candidate whose name is printed on the ballot, place a cross (X) mark in the blank space at the right of the name of the candidate for whom you desire to vote.".
There is also Statute 102.166 which specifies
"
7) Procedures for a manual recount are as follows:
(a) The county canvassing board shall appoint as many counting teams of at least two electors as is necessary to manually recount the ballots. A counting team must have, when possible, members of at least two political parties. A candidate involved in the race shall not be a member of the counting team.
(b) If a counting team is unable to determine a voter's intent in casting a ballot, the ballot shall be presented to the county canvassing board for it to determine the voter's intent."
It seems to me that we could be in for an interesting couple of weeks.
When Spring slammed me, I asked them to remove the charges I had accrued during my brief, unwelcome internment with Sprint long distance. To their credit, they did. Perhaps you just have to ask the right person the right question. Also, as some have pointed out, the slamming may be the result of a rogue telemarketer, and the company may try to do everything in its power to correct the situation.
I, too, have been slammed, in this case by Sprint over Qwest. When I moved to North Carolina, I chose Qwest as my long distance provider, because they had the best rates for what I wanted at the time. Then, one day, I got a phone bill with Sprint charges.
I quickly called Bell South and Qwest and got myself switched back to the way I had it before, then put a lock on my line. The lock, which everyone should have (and should be the default) prevents your LD carrier from being changed unless you call your local carrier and tell them it is ok.
They claim that placing this 'lock' on your LD carrier is not the default case because it would be too inconvenient. Personally, I think that 'locked' should be the default for any phone service -- if you want to change it, you should have to explicitly tell the phone company.
Discover ran an Ice-Printer Story last month

Discover ran this story about a similar technology that "prints" ice sculptures, the idea being to provide real, temporary prototypes of a CAD design. Probably much cheaper that other technologies, and probably much closer to real world use. Discover also provides thie link which provided more detail on the process.
How is it that the FCC or the DoJ or anyone else for that matter can use the Merger of AOL/TW to require the release/breakup of the AOL dominance? AOL's dominance in IM has _nothing_ to do with TW, nor will it become more or less dominant as the result of the merger. So how can they use the merger as the springboard for this campaign?
Question 2:
Does the FCC have any rights to regulate IM? I would only expect the FCC To become involved in merger proposals when communications assets (such as radio/tv stations, etc) are involved.

I have a couple more weeks until I am eligible again. I would also like to know if there will be an exception made.
Anyone know someone at the Red Cross?
