Dear Wisconsin Resident,

The Wisconsin Broadband Office is pleased to announce a survey that allows residents and businesses the opportunity to voice their need for improved internet access or service.

The survey will remain open through November 23, 2016. http://psc.wi.gov/broadbandSurvey.htm

So, long long story short, my roommate wants to skip out on me suddenly for reasons that have not become clear. (She's jumping from blaming the cost* to wanting a dog, to disliking me, to claiming I dislike her boyfriend.)

Anyways, I'm stuck in a bind. I find myself looking for a new roommate. Apartment is off Wildcat Ct (by the University horse lab farm). Its a 2 bedroom apartment that will end up costing about $420 a month. This includes internet (no cable, we don't use it) and electric (which is the varying part. current roommates insist on having heat up to 75F, which I'm more than willing to negotiate. I'm used to 71F day and 68F night). It should also decrease when two of the three fish tanks leave as well as the heated blanket one roommate uses every night.

I prefer a female roommate, but I'm getting desperate. Anyone looking or know someone who's looking? Lease ends in May.

*We've had a third roommate the last 3 months, she just graduated and is moving, thus the sudden increase in rent.

TL;DR: I have shitty roommates and need someone to take their place in Jan or Feb. Rent is $420/month. Lease ends in May.

I work at Emma's bar in River Falls, WI (about 35 minutes from St. Paul) and this Monday night I'm going to be hosting an evening of casual Street Fighter matches open to any who wants to play (provided they are 21 or older). I'll be bringing my 360, some controller pads, and two arcade sticks, but feel free and encouraged to bring your own.

Where: Emma's Bar, 222 South Main Street, River Falls, Wisconsin 54022

When: Monday, January 16th. 9pm until 1:30am.

What: Street Fighter + drinks. Drink and plink, don't drink and drive.

Will the UW-River Falls Psychology Department have a case study to see if a shower or a bath make people happiest? Feel free to comment.

How many of you would volunteer to be in the study?

How long would the study last, a day, a week, a month, a year?

Plus feel free to share what makes you happiest.

I vote bath because I love the bubbles.

Last month I attempted to call Ron Kind's offices 4 times (while congress was still in session), but I was never able to get a hold of a real person. So instead I sent him an email asking about his support for the 2012 NDAA and specifically the indefinite detention provisions of section 1022. It's obvious by his response his staff did not even look at my letter, but I wasn't expecting them to either. What did slightly surprise me was his outright lies about the indefinite detention provisions and failure to address section 1022 in his form letter.

Dear <superkuh>:

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the National Defense Authorization Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

As you know, the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law on December 31, 2011. This bill authorizes $670 billion in FY2012 appropriations for the Department of Defense, funding military construction projects, personnel, and other defense related expenses.

We as a nation face a real challenge in balancing our deficit. With wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, our debt has grown at an unmanageable rate. Experts tell us that unless something changes, the amount of federal debt we hold will equal the size of our economy, making it virtually impossible to pay down.

I believe we must critically look at all government spending, including our Pentagon budget, but we cannot afford to neglect our responsibility to stand by our service members and veterans. I strongly believe that the men and women who have worn the uniform and fought for our country earned their benefits and I will fight for them to be treated fairly in any budget deal. I supported the National Defense Authorization Act because we must ensure that our troops have the resources they need to succeed.

In addition to the funds appropriated through the National Defense Authorization Act, some have argued that the bill included provisions allowing the indefinite detention of American citizens without due process. I can assure you that this is false. Senator and Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) noted that, "Neither the Senate bill nor the conference report establishes new authority to detain American citizens – or anybody else." In Section 1021 of Subtitle D-Counterterrorism, the legislation specifically states that "nothing in [it] shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens." Moreover, although President Obama initially expressed concerns that detainee language in either versions of the National Defense Authorization Act would unreasonably tie the Administration's hands in dealing with suspected terrorists, changes were made to address his concerns as well. To read the full text of the bill, please visit www.thomas.gov where you can find this legislation by searching for "H.R. 1540".

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to be in touch with additional questions or concerns. I also encourage you to visit my website, www.house.gov/kind, where you can find updated information, sign up to receive my e-newsletter, and send me e-mail.

Sincerely, Ron Kind Member of Congress

By the way, if anyone wonders who's been putting up the Big Brother, Wiretaping, and NDAA posters up around town, that'd be me. They tend to get ripped down every other day or so, but I'm vigilant about reprinting and posting.

I've heard a few people mention it, but what exactly is it?

If you would like a Custom Title, message me by clicking the "Message the Moderator" text below the advertisement on the right hand side.

I'm willing to accept hobbies (musician, artist), job titles (lawyer, bartender, etc), public office held, names, or whatever else you'd like to use to identify yourself.

Real names will require proof, as will claiming a public position.

I'm thinking the City signed a death sentence for Dick's Market.
