This is a pair of Pro-Line Badlands SC 2.2"/3.0" Tires in M2 (Medium) compound, mounted on Black Renegade Wheels. These are intended for use on the rear of the Traxxas Slash, as well as the front and rear of the Slash 4x4, OFNA Jammin SCRT-10, Hyper 10-SC and HPI Blitz.
Are you ready to chew up the dirt and spit it out in a huge spray behind your SC truck? If so, then the Badlands SC tire is exactly the tire that you have been waiting for. The Badlands SC tire offers motocross style tread with huge, long-lasting lugs giving it the looks and performance that have won over bashers all across the globe. The Badlands tread design is made for the die-hard motocrosser in you. Its oversized grass and dirt shredding lugs offer you the ultimate in performance under all-terrain type conditions. The lugs are designed to ensure longevity while spitting up the surface below. Made from soft yet durable M2 compound, the Badlands tire is poised for battle and ready to take your Short Course Truck to the next level of bashing heaven.
The Badlands SC tires are mounted on Renegade Black wheels. Radical, revolutionary maybe even a bit of an outlaw, that is what a Renegade is all about and it defines the new SC wheels from Pro-Line to a "T". That's right, the design department at Pro-Line thought it was time to change it up and bring to life another bold looking SC wheel. The Pro-Line Renegade wheel for SC trucks features a tough 10 spoke design replicating the latest in high performance full size forged racing wheels used by the pros. Detailed beadloc and lug nut hardware only adds to the realism.
- Super-aggressive styling
- Motocross style tread for longevity and superior traction
- Latest generation V2 SC wide carcass for increased contact patch
- Soft, re-usable and water-proof Closed Cell foam inserts included
- Lightweight one-piece design
- 2.2" outer bead and 3.0" inner bead
- Simulated Bead-Loc ring
- Wheel made from high-strength, durable DuPont nylon material
- 10 Spoke design for increased rigidity
- Made in the USA, since 1982
Height: 4.40 in (112mm)
Width: 1.96 in (50mm)
- (2) Mounted Badlands SC tire to ProTrac Renegade Black Wheels
- (2) Closed Cell inserts
- (1) Pro-Line decal
I do wish this 2.2/3.0 size was a bit wider, maybe 2.10w/4.5tall? Nothing huge like the 2.8's, but a big larger than a standard SC tire. IDK, just dreaming, still a five star product
I strongly recommend for anyone for any terrain!
However, the wheels actually bind on my Tekno SCT410.3 so try to get different wheels.

Winners of the lottery will be notified via e-mail no later than 3 PM Aug. 19 with instructions on how to book their $5 tickets.

The new ticketing program First Row Sundays will offer front-row tickets for all Sunday evening performances. Sold for $25 each, the tickets will be available for audience members 30 years and younger.
Tickets can be purchased online via TicketCentral.com, by phone at (212) 279-4200 (noon-8 PM daily), or in person at the Ticket Central Box Office, 416 West 42nd Street. Tickets are limited to one per customer and are subject to availability. Purchased tickets for First Row Sundays can be picked up one hour before curtain on the day of the performance, with proof of age required at the door.
As previously reported, Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play will begin performances Aug. 23, prior to an official opening Sept. 15. The engagement will play through Oct. 6.
Directed by Obie Award winner Steve Cosson (Gone Missing, This Beautiful City, founding artistic director of The Civilians), the cast will feature Obie Award winner Quincy Tyler Bernstine (Far From Heaven, In The Next Room (or The Vibrator Play), Ruined), Gibson Frazier (There Are No More Big Secrets, Orlando, God's Ear, The Internationalist), Susannah Flood (Tribes, As You Like It, A Civil War Christmas), two-time Obie Award winner Matthew Maher (The Flick, The World Over, Uncle Vanya, Golden Child, School for Lies, You Better Sit Down), two-time Audelco nominee Nedra McClyde (Headstrong, Miss Evers' Boys), Civilians founding member Jennifer R.

"What will endure when the cataclysm arrives — when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we're faced with the task of rebuilding?" press notes ask. "Anne Washburn's imaginative dark comedy propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future. A paean to live theater, and to the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another."
The production features scenic design by two-time Obie Award winner Neil Patel, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend and sound design by Ken Travis. Production stage manager is Kyle Gates. Choreography is by Sam Pinkleton and music director is Mike Brun.

'Argo,' Lee, Lawrence,[url=http://www.christianslouboutinsales.com]Christian Louboutin Men[/url], Hathaway win top OscarsLOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 () -- First lady Michelle Obama announced via video from Washington Sunday that Ben Affleck's Iran-set thriller "Argo" had won the Best Picture Oscar.The movie also earned the awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Film Editing earlier at the high-profile ceremony in Los Angeles.In accepting the evening's top prize, "Argo" producer Grant Heslov said he wanted to take the microphone before Affleck spoke, noting it might be awkward for the actor-producer-director to thank himself for all his fine work."But it's not awkward for me," Heslov said. "Thank you, Ben. You directed a hell of a film."Affleck, who wasn't nominated for a Best Director Oscar even though he won numerous prizes in other competitions for directing "Argo,[url=http://www.christianelouboutinoutlet.com]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url]," was clearly emotional as he accepted the Best Picture honor. "I was here 15 years ago and I had no idea what I was doing," Affleck said, referring to the Oscar he and friend Matt Damon won for penning the screenplay for "Good Will Hunting." "I was a kid. I never thought I would be back here and now I am because of so many of you."Ang Lee earned the Best Director accolade for his work on "Life of Pi," which also won the Oscars for Best Cinematography, Visual Effects and Original Score."Thank you, movie God!" Lee said, smiling as he collected his Best Director Oscar.Jennifer Lawrence tripped over the long train of her gorgeous gown on her way to scoop up the Best Actress statuette for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook." "You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that's really embarrassing, but thank you," she told the crowd. "This is nuts! Thank you to the Academy [of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences] and thank you to the women this year, you were so magnificent. You were so inspiring and not just those of you in my category; and it's been so amazing getting to know you and you've been so nice and you've made this experience unforgettable." Daniel Day-Lewis took home an unprecedented third Best Actor Oscar for his work in "Lincoln," which led the field with 12 nominations, but only won one other award -- for Best Production Design -- Sunday night.Writer-director Quentin Tarantino picked up the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for "Django Unchained," while that film's scene-stealer Christoph Waltz was declared Best Supporting Actor. Waltz previously won the Oscar in the same category for his work in another Tarantino flick, "Inglourious Basterds."Anne Hathaway earned the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in "Les Miserables." The movie musical won the awards for Sound Mixing, and Hair and Makeup, as well.Adele took home the Best Original Song Oscar for the title theme to "Skyfall," the latest James Bond adventure, which shared the Sound Editing Oscar with "Zero Dark Thirty.""Brave" was declared Best Animated Feature and "Paperman" Best Animated Short.The Best Costume Design honor went to "Anna Karenina" and "Amour" earned the Best Foreign Language Film title.Obama was wearing a Naeem Khan when she announced "Argo" had won live from the Diplomatic Room of the White House. She had just come from a National Governors Association dinner at the White House.Obama's role as an Oscar presenter had been kept a top secret."The Academy Awards approached the first lady about being a part of the ceremony," Kristina Schake, Obama's communications director, said in a statement. "As a movie lover, she was honored to present the award and celebrate the artists who inspire us all -- especially our young people -- with their passion, skill and imagination."Christina Applegate and Martyn LeNoble get marriedLOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 () -- U.S. actress Christina Applegate was married in a private ceremony to Martyn LeNoble, her musician beau of more than four years, UsMagazine.com reported. No details about the wedding -- such as when and where it took place and who attended -- were immediately disclosed.Applegate recently quit the NBC sitcom "Up All Night" after less than two seasons because of creative differences. Her new husband is a founding member of the 1990s rock band Porno for Pyros.They have a 2-year-old daughter together, Sadie Grace.Channing Tatum's wife to give birth in LondonLOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 () -- Hollywood film star Channing Tatum says his wife, actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum, will likely give birth to their first child in London this summer."We're going to actually have the baby in London while I'm shooting, so there will be no downtime whatsoever after that," Tatum told E! interviewer Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Oscars Sunday night.Tatum didn't say what project will take him to the United Kingdom. People magazine's 2012 Sexiest Man Alive appeared on stage at the Oscars in a musical number with actress Charlize Theron. His wife was recently seen on TV's "American Horror Story."Oprah appears in Kimmel's star-studded trailer for faux 'Movie: The Movie 2V' sequel LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 () -- Oprah Winfrey appeared in the star-studded trailer for "Movie: The Movie 2V," which premiered during Jimmy Kimmel's after-Oscars special in Los Angeles.Before introducing the new clip, Kimmel noted last year's fake trailer for "Movie: The Movie" -- the trailer for "the greatest motion picture ever not made" -- had been viewed online tens of millions of times."When you have a big success in Hollywood, the only reasonable thing you can do is cheapen it with a sequel," he said. The 2013 followup featured sexy zombies, vampires and mummies, as well as A-list celebrities such as Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, Jessica Chastain, Channing Tatum, Rachel Weisz, John Krasinski, Amanda Seyfried, Bryan Cranston, Jude Law,[url=http://www.christianslouboutinsales.com]Christian Louboutin Black[/url], Gerard Butler, Wolf Blitzer, Bradley Cooper, Halle Berry, Bruno Mars and Jason Schwartzman.

Is it safe to do a consultation for an self- abortion over the internet?
A consultation on the internet is very similar to a face to face consultation. In the online consultation the doctor asks you questions in order to get all the information needed to make sure you can safely have a medical abortion. The doctor depends on the information you give, as is also the case in a face to face consultation.
There are few reasons why you might not be able to take the medicines that cause an abortion. You should not use the medicines if:
- someone is forcing you to end your pregnancy.
- the first day of your last menstrual period was more than 10 weeks ago.
- you have an allergy to Mifepristone, Misoprostol, or prostaglandins.
- you have one of the following diseases: chronic adrenal failure, hemorrhagic disorders or bleeding disorders/diseases, Inherited Porphyries, severe anemia, or severe untreatable asthma. (It is highly unlikely that you have one of these diseases and do not know it yet.)
- you have an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb).
- you can not get to a hospital or first aid centre within an hour.
- you are alone. You should ask a partner, friend or other trusted person to stay with you while you use the medicines.
When you have an intrauterine device (IUD), if possible, we advise to have it removed before using the medicines.
Medical abortions performed in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy have a very low risk of complications. This risk is the same as when a woman has a natural miscarriage. These problems can easily be treated by a doctor.
More scientific information:
Screening women for contraindications on the internet is very similar to the screening process at a face-to-face visit between a doctor and a patient. The doctor generally finds out about contraindications by asking the patient if she has any of these medical conditions. "All contraindications to Mifepristone-Misoprostol, aside from gestational age…are uncommon and based on medical history and therefore should already be known to women. Indeed, doctors screen women mainly by asking them if they have the conditions." 7

Everything You Need to Become a Well Paid and Respected PT In One Place...
From The Comfort of Your Own Home
In the past, you could take continuing education courses to expand your knowledge and have a good paying and long career. However, patients now have more options for care than ever before.
From emerging trends like telehealth and medical marijuana to competition from clinicians in completely different specialties who claim to get the same results you do.
So you need to be on top of your clinical game and understand business principles to keep your caseload full, keep your patients happy, and generate a steady stream of referrals.
That's where Embodia can help. Canada's largest online education learning platform for Physiotherapists.
Embodia gives you all the accredited continuing education you need to stay up to date on the latest treatments and advances from the comfort of your own home.
Increase compliance and minimize patient discharge with the Home Exercise Program app. AND Embodia's instructors teach you the business side of being a successful PT so you can accelerate your career to become a well respected, in demand, and well paid PT who patients love. Like...
How to ethically grow your income and increase patient satisfaction at the same time.
How to position yourself as an authority to your patients, your clinic owner, and referrals... without being a salesperson.
How to cut self-discharges by 50% or more.
How to predictably and consistently fill your caseload while having enough time to focus on treating patients.
An elegant and sophisticated way to attract an endless flow of referrals you can depend on.
Ask questions whenever you feel lost treating a patient and a top instructor will give you situation-specific advice based on their own experience encountering that problem so you never have to worry.
And much more!
You just choose from any of the 170 evidence-based courses you want. New ones added every month.
For example, maybe you want to cut self-discharges in half, there's a course for that. Maybe you want to double your patient satisfaction scores. Maybe you want a predictable and consistent way to keep your caseload filled. Maybe you're stuck with what to do with a certain condition. There's a course for all of this and more.
You just choose what course you want. Then you'll get instant access to watch on your schedule from the comfort of your own home.
Best of all the courses are very affordable. You could easily spend at least $3,000 just to go to one continuing education course when you take into account hotel, flight, transportation, the course, and food.
With Embodia the courses are more affordable. Plus you won't have to buy a plane ticket, book a hotel, or take time off from work to attend. So you'll save time, money, and get your weekends back.
The courses are broken down into simple, digestible pieces so you won't feel overwhelmed. The video lessons are short and easy to follow. Plus you can learn anytime, anywhere from your tablet, phone, or computer. Then after you complete the course you'll get a certificate for your continuing education credits and reimbursement.
Plus you'll get access to monthly webinars where you can ask questions to Embodia instructors, experts, and researchers.
Increase compliance, decrease patient discharge, and get better outcomes with the Embodia Home Exercise App. Included for free in your membership.
Quickly and easily build home exercise programs from your smartphone, tablet or computer. We have over 950 exercises vetted by professionals and growing for all types of clients you see.
Easily send your HEP to your patient with one click and it will instantly appear in their patient app.
Each exercise includes a professional video clip of how to do the exercise correctly so they don't injure themselves.
Your patients can view the video at their convenience from their smartphone, tablet, or computer.
A simple dashboard displays your patients' progress, including exercise completion rate, symptom levels, notes, and details of any other outcome measures you shared. Outcome measures available include the Patient Specific Functional Scale, Bladder Diary, Fibre Diary, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and Pelvic Health Screening Tool.
Plus, you can create templates to save time. For example, when you create a home exercise program for someone who has a specific condition such as knee replacement or low back pain postpartum. Instead of having to do it manually each time for those types of patients. You just create the HEP once and with one click send it out saving you hours of work.
Patients can download the free app on their Android or iPhone. They can also access it from their computer. Your patients do not pay anything to use it and it's very simple to use.
Saves me Time and My Clients Love The Home Exercise Program App
Darryl Was Amazed At How He Could Track Patient Progress and Improve The Line of Communication Between Therapist, Surgeon, and Patient
I Love The App! It Gently Reminds Me Everyday What I Need to Do and How To Do It
In 2018, the University of Toronto published a research article in Physiotherapy Canada and found:
"Embodia can enhance the integration of a co-created customized HEP (Home Exercise Plan) into a patient's daily life. Embodia acted as a valuable tool for augmenting but not replacing the patient-therapist encounter."
We have 40 of the top instructors in the world from a wide range of specialties so you'll be learning from experts who are an authority on a wide range of topics. Here are a few of your instructors:
If you're not satisfied with the course for any reason. Simply send us an email to email@example.com within 14 days and you'll receive a prompt and full refund. No hassles, no hoops to jump through, and no questions asked. So you have absolutely nothing to lose.
Just choose the course you want. This plan is ideal for part-time PTs who take one course per year.
This plan is for PTs who work full time and want to accelerate their career.
Discounts apply for members of the CPA and for clinics of 3 or more practitioners.

The Apple app developer market ain't what it used to be.
According to a new study from Freelancer.com (hat tip to CNET), the number of postings for iPhone and iPad developer gigs dropped in the fourth quarter of last year – the first time that's happened since Freelancer.com started keeping count. The site reports that between Q3 and Q4, iPhone jobs fell 3.8 percent, to 5,298 jobs; iPad listings, meanwhile, fell 14 percent to 2,036 jobs. So what's behind the new numbers?
Well, Freelancer.com strongly hints that it may have something to do with the increased clout of Google's Android operating system. Last quarter, a whopping 152 million Android smartphones were shipped globally, enough to make Android, in the words of one analyst, "the undisputed volume leader of the smartphone industry at the present time."
And indeed, Freelancer.com does show a 7 percent uptick in listings for Android jobs in Q4, to 4,282 jobs in all.
The rise of Android doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has switched camps. It's possible that iPhone gigs gave way to jobs that require HTML5, a programming language that works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, PCs, and any number of other devices. Why program for one, when an HTML5 websites work pretty much everywhere?
In related news, this week Apple release iOS 6.1, the newest iteration of its mobile operating system. Adoption has been steady, with 22 percent of all iOS devices hosting the new software just 36 hours after launch. Jason Baptiste, CEO of Onswipe (the company that published the adoption figures), told TechCrunch this probably has something to do with Apple's over-the-air software update system.
One more bit of Apple news, while we're at it, via Time Magazine: In a conversation with Wall Street analysts, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted Facebook's relationship with Google wasn't exactly top-notch. Apple, on the other hand? "I'm really happy with the partnership we have with them," Zuckerberg said.

Callaspo looks to prove himself with first A's base hit
CINCINNATI -- Perhaps A's fans are still waiting to see what they have in Alberto Callaspo, who is hitless in his first 10 at-bats since being traded to Oakland from the Angels with just a .087 clip to his name since the break.
But his new teammates and manager already know all about his ability.
"He's hit the ball very hard a couple times and hasn't had anything to show for it," manager Bob Melvin said. "When you're with your new team, you want to get that first hit out of the way and show everyone what you have to offer. But he has. Everyone knows, has played enough against him to know he's a professional guy from both sides of the plate."
Callaspo will continue to share duties with Eric Sogard at second base, where Melvin plans to stick to a pretty strict platoon. However, having an everyday player such as the versatile Callaspo around also means Melvin can let some of his other infielders rest every now and then.
Rest isn't exactly in Josh Donaldson's vocabulary, as the third baseman has played in all but two of the A's 112 games this season. And even though his offensive numbers have dropped in recent weeks, in the midst of an 11-for-56 stretch, Donaldson still isn't tiring. At least he doesn't look like he is, Melvin said.
Still, an off-day may be on the horizon for the third baseman. Sort of.
"We try to monitor him pretty closely," Melvin said. "There are always a couple of players on each team they rely on to play every day. He is one of those guys we expect to be out there every day. He wants to be one of those guys as well, but maybe giving him a DH day coming up here quickly could probably help too."
When that happens, Callaspo will be at third, the position he manned on an everyday basis for the Angels before last week's trade.
"He'll get plenty of at-bats and not just at second base," Melvin said. "We still feel like he's a very good fit here, even though he doesn't have anything to show for it offensively yet."

Prospect Suggs lends another power arm
JUPITER, Fla. -- Fastball velocity is not registered by the height of a pitcher.
Marlins prospect Colby Suggs is among a growing list to prove hard-throwers come in all sizes. The 22-year-old right-hander has had his fastball velocity clocked as high as 99 mph.
"There are a lot of short guys out there who are throwing pretty hard right now," Suggs said. "I'm not your prototypical 6-foot-5 pitcher. I go out there and compete. That's what I bring to the table."
At his recent physical, Suggs was measured at 5-11 1/2.
"Six foot in shoes," he said.
Suggs is quick to remind Craig Kimbrel and Fernando Rodney are small in stature but possess power arms.
A compact, 230-pounder who is one of the strongest Miami prospects in the weight room, Suggs is regarded as a bulldog on the mound.
"I work out hard, I'll say that," he said. "I like to have fun off the field. Once you step on the field, it's all business. I like to attack hitters and just dominate them. I think that is everybody's goal when they're on the mound."
The Marlins plan on getting a good look at Suggs on the mound in Spring Training.
A non-roster invitee, the right-hander was Miami's compensatory second-round Draft pick out of the University of Arkansas last year.
Like they have with many of their young prospects, the Marlins are giving Suggs a taste of big league camp, and what to expect down the line.
Suggs made 22 Minor League appearances last year, posting a 3.29 ERA in 22 appearances. He struck out 38 in 27 1/3 innings and saw action in 14 games at Class A Advanced Jupiter.
"Right now, I'm just trying to soak it in, and just enjoy the experience," he said. "You try to get better by watching some of the older guys, and getting to know them a little bit. I'm trying to get comfortable picking their brains. It's pretty cool to see all these guys who have had a lot of success."
In college, Suggs was primarily a fastball-curveball pitcher. He describes the curveball more as a "slurve" with the way it breaks. He's been working on a changeup, but it isn't yet polished.
"It's a developing pitch right now," he said. "I've been working on it hard in the offseason. It's coming along. Obviously, I'm not going to learn a new pitch in a year after I've been pitching for so many years."

You're probably asking yourself, "Only four?" That's as high as the scale goes for Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who takes a rather dispassionate view of the McCarthyite tactics of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of the highest-ranking Democrats in government. Instead of ripping Reid for his ethics, Kessler tries to reverse-engineer Mitt Romney's already-public returns to see whether it's even possible for Reid to be right. Answer? No, not really:
Romney's 2010 return and his estimated 2011 return do show that he paid substantial taxes in those years. In 2010, he earned nearly $22 million, including $3 million in taxable interest, nearly $5 million in dividends and more than $12 million in capital gains. He reduced his taxes by giving $3 million in charitable contributions (much of it in appreciated stock, when shielded him from paying additional capital gains.)
In other words, this tax return shows a portfolio that is not structured to yield zero taxes. We spoke to a number of tax experts, all of whom said that, given Romney's current portfolio, it was highly improbable for Romney to have had 10 years with taxfree returns — though there could have been one or two years with little or no taxes. …
But none of this appears to add up to 10 years of tax returns with no taxes paid. "It is theoretically possible, but it seems quite improbable in practice given the portfolio in 2010," Kleinbard said. "It is improbable that a man of his wealth would have paid no taxes for ten years."
In his conclusion, Kessler allows himself a little righteous annoyance:
We use a reasonable person standard here. Without seeing Romney's taxes, we cannot definitively prove Reid incorrect. But tax experts say his claim is highly improbable. Reid also has made no effort to explain why his unnamed source would be credible. So, in the absence of more information, it appears he has no basis to make his incendiary claim.
Moreover, Reid holds a position of great authority in the U.S. Congress. He should hold himself to a high standard of accuracy when making claims about political opponents.
Well, it's safe to say that Reid holds himself to the lowest possible standard, and does so on a consistent basis. Reid refuses to release any of his own tax returns, for instance, even though as a leader in Congress he has had a lot more opportunity to make himself a wealthy man at the expense of taxpayers. And even when complies with the disclosure requirements of his office, Reid does so belatedly, grudgingly, and incompletely.
For instance, here's a post from Captain's Quarters from October 2006 about Reid's disclosures of financial transactions that only came to light because of a lengthy LA Times probe into Reid's involvement in real estate deals that benefited from his legislative efforts:
Harry Reid, stung by the AP's exposure of his complicated land deals with a lobbyist he helped make rich through his personal interventions in Congress, has told the Senate Ethics Committee that he will file amended disclosure statements that would reveal his business relationships for the first time. Reid claims the amendment would be "technical":
The Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said his office contacted the Senate ethics committee on Wednesday and offered to correct his financial disclosure statements if they misrepresented his ties to a land deal in his home state in which his family made a profit of about $700,000.In a statement, Mr. Reid did not acknowledge errors in the disclosure forms but said he was ready to make a "technical correction" if the ethics committee determined that adjustments were needed. …
In 2001, the timeline showed, ownership of the land was transferred to a holding company, Patrick Lane LLC, named for a street near the properties, as part of effort to rezone the area for development of a shopping center. Mr. Reid became a partner in the holding company. After the rezoning was approved, the land was sold for $1.6 million, with $1.1 million directed to Mr. Reid as his share, a return of about $700,000 on the investment.
The senator's financial disclosure statements during the period show that he never reported that the land had been transferred to the holding company, leaving the impression that he continued to own the land directly instead of through a partnership with Mr. Brown and others.
Congressional ethics specialists said the omission was at least a technical violation of the disclosure rules, which are intended to identify a lawmaker's business partners and potential conflicts of interest. Spokesmen for the Senate ethics committee did not return phone calls Wednesday night.
Reid's avoidance of disclosure hid two aspects of his business relationships. The first was his association with Jay Brown, who has a history of being involved in scandal. The NY Times describes him as "a prominent Las Vegas lawyer," but they never get around to mentioning … Brown's work as a lobbyist, as the AP did, nor do they follow up on the AP's report of connections between Brown and organized crime.
The other part Reid wanted to keep secret was the financial ties between himself and Harvey Whittemore. The AP story reported that Reid bought the parcel from "a developer who was benefiting from a government land swap that Reid supported," a perfect description of Whittemore in 1998 when Reid purchased the land. For the next seven years, Reid would work to ease Whittemore's difficulties in developing the Coyote Springs project by forcing the government to swap its right-of-way for less valuable land owned by Whittemore; he tried to get the government to literally give away more of its land to Whittemore, although he would not succeed; and in the end, he pressed federal regulators to lift a endangered-species restriction on Whittemore's Coyote Springs real estate. All of this helped give Whittemore an opportunity to make tens of millions on residential and commercial development in the former test range site.
Disclosing those partnerships, the latter of which the NYT doesn't even bother to mention from the AP report, would have exposed Reid's machinations for Coyote Springs as financially beneficial to himself through his partnership with Whittemore and Brown. Reid has no choice but to amend the disclosures, but by now it's far too late; Congress agreed to almost everything Whittemore needed already, pushed by Reid in a blatantly corrupt manner. And now we know the payoff: a real-estate "investment" that garnered a 175% return in six years.
Disclosures now are pointless. The Ethics panel needs to order a full investigation not just into the $700,000 profit, but all of Reid's business partners and any legislation or intervention with federal regulators Reid pushed on their behalf.
Note: The link to the AP story goes to another CapQ post, which has an excerpt from the AP article published on October 11, 2006, written by John Solomon and reconfirmed via Nexis. For the sake of convenience, I'll post the other CapQ article here:
Once again, we discover why the Democrats quietly dropped their "culture of corruption" theme for the upcoming midterms. The AP catches Harry Reid without a disclosure on real-estate deals that netted him $700,000 in profit:
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing – except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court. …
The deal began in 1998 when Reid bought undeveloped residential property on Las Vegas' booming outskirts for about $400,000. Reid bought one lot outright, and a second parcel jointly with Brown. One of the sellers was a developer who was benefiting from a government land swap that Reid supported. The seller never talked to Reid.
In 2001, Reid sold the land for the same price to a limited liability corporation created by Brown. The senator didn't disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress he had any stake in Brown's company. He continued to report to Congress that he personally owned the land.
After getting local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center, Brown's company sold the land in 2004 to other developers and Reid took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling the senator's investment. Reid reported it to Congress as a personal land sale.
In fact, this isn't a new development for Harry Reid. Less than two months ago, I wrote about Reid's questionable involvement and compensation in a related real-estate deal outside of Las Vegas, and the post turned into a column for the New York Post. Harvey Whittemore, a lobbyist and real-estate investor, plied Reid with campaign contributions and employed Reid's family members — and in exchange, Reid did a number of favors that allowed Whittemore to realize large profits at the expense of environmental regulations that Reid helped Whittemore bulldoze. I wrote at the time:
The story of Coyote Springs sounds like a Horatio Alger story. The land Whittemore bought in 1998 from a defense contractor who intended on using it for target practice had a number of restrictions on its use. A quarter of it was subject to a federal power-line right of way. Another quarter had federal protection for the desert tortoise, an endangered species that also is Nevada's official state reptile. The land had a fragile series of streams and washes that required special permission on which to build without ruining the desert's ecosystem.None of these obstacles proved too difficult for Whittemore, at least not while he had his friend Harry Reid running interference in Congress. Interior refused to relocate the tortoises for over five years, until the Bureau of Land Management agreed to swap the land for another parcel abutting a federal preserve elsewhere. No one ever did an analysis to determine whether the deal was fair to either party, nor did the BLM go to Congress for approval on the changes to a project that Congress had explicitly legislated.
In 2002, Reid worked on the power corridor. He inserted obscure provisions into a land management bill that relocated the power corridor, freeing Whittemore to build on the 10,500 acres that Congress had previously held — which means that someone else now had to lose property value for Whittemore's benefit, and for no cost whatsoever. That bald move caused raised eyebrows at the BLM and the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and Reid backed away — for the moment. Less than two years later, Reid tried again to give Whittemore the land for a song ($160,000), but Congress balked again. He finally settled for freeing the land for development and allowing Whittemore to buy it at a fair market rate, and forcing the government to relocate the power corridor.
In 2005, Reid and fellow Nevada Senator John Ensign conducted a series of interventions with the EPA to eliminate the final obstacle — the environmental impact on the fragile ecosystem in Coyote Springs Valley. When the agency blocked Whittemore's efforts, Reid and Ensign held several meetings with EPA officials to pressure them into submission. Whittemore used another Reid son, Lief, to lobby his father's office for assistance. In the end, the pressure paid off, as the EPA backed down from its opposition after winning a few concessions on the development plan.
What did Reid get in exchange for all of this support? According to the Times, Whittemore contributed $45,000 to Reid and his PACs since 2000. He also gave the DSCC $20,000 in 2000, when it pushed Reid as a leader for the party in the Senate. Reid's son Josh got $5,000 for his unsuccessful campaign for a city council seat; his other sone Rory got $5,000 for his successful effort to win a spot on the Clark County Board of Commissioners.
This appears to be of a piece with the Whittemore connection. In fact, it seems as though Whittemore's project was part of the transactions the AP discovered. "One of the sellers was a developer who was benefiting from a government land swap that Reid supported" — that's the same project as Coyote Springs. A major portion of that story had to do with Reid trying to grease the skids for the land swap so that Whittemore could get around the federal right-of-way.
Hilariously, this appears just days after James Webb tried smearing George Allen with a pseudoscandal over stock options that Allen disclosed and never exercised, meaning that he never cleared a dime from the options. Now we have the Democratic caucus leader dodging disclosures and failing to disclose $800,000 in profits from a project on which he partnered with a lawyer suspected of connections to organized crime and a bribery scandal. And let's not forget Reid's connections to Jack Abramoff, whom Democrats tried mightily to use as a poster boy for Republican-only graft:
The activities _ detailed in billing records and correspondence obtained by The Associated Press _ are far more extensive than previously disclosed. They occurred over three years as Reid collected nearly $68,000 in donations from Abramoff's firm, lobbying partners and clients. …Abramoff's records show his lobbying partners billed for nearly two dozen phone contacts or meetings with Reid's office in 2001 alone.
Most were to discuss Democratic legislation that would have applied the U.S. minimum wage to the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory and Abramoff client, but would have given the islands a temporary break on the wage rate, the billing records show.
Reid also intervened on government matters at least five times in ways helpful to Abramoff's tribal clients, once opposing legislation on the Senate floor and four times sending letters pressing the Bush administration on tribal issues. Reid collected donations around the time of each action.
Reid also had a former staffer go to work for Abramoff, who then held campaign fundraisers in Abramoff's offices.
No wonder Reid hung up on the AP reporter when they asked him to comment on this story. Reid has demonstrated that he has few scruples when it comes to using his position and power for his personal enrichment and that of his family and "associates". If the Democrats continue to have Reid as the leader of their Senate caucus, voters should realize the kind of leadership he will provide if the Democrats win control of the Senate.
UPDATE: This story provides an answer to a question I had regarding Reid's dealings with Whittemore. The earlier story showed that Whittemore benefited Reid's kids and his election campaigns, but Reid worked awfully hard for Whittemore's benefit for no direct personal payoff. This land-swap deal and the $700,000 profit shows that Reid had a direct financial interest for his earlier interventions on Whittemore's behalf.
So when will Harry Reid provide his returns that show his income from these transactions?
Update: As some commenters note, Politifact gave Reid a "pants on fire" rating for his attack.

From Tehran to Shiraz, taste Iran and Persia on this Real Food Adventure.
Iran's charm begins with its stunning environment – snow-capped mountains, rolling deserts, ancient cities and crowded bazaars all add to an unforgettable tapestry of a culture less experienced. However the heart of this charm truly lies in the palate – within the odorous spices, succulent meats and mouth-watering stews created through thousands of years of perfected techniques. Saffron, cheeses, crispy rice and succulent meats all contribute to full flavoured meals capable of taking anyone to another place. It'll happen to you too. Once you dine on tah chin, fesenjan or any of the other dishes on this Real Food Adventure, it'll only take a hint of saffron to throw your thoughts back into the depths of that bazaar – that unforgettable moment where the taste of Persia first hit your tongue.
Cook culinary favourites in Iranian family homes – from the sumptuous spiced meat and rice of biryani to sharp and tangy fesenjan stews, you'll be tasting exotic yet oh so delightful dishes every day.
Sample regional delicacies at some of the finest sweet stores in Iran during a visit to Yazd, snacking on crunchy almond qottab or chewy soft baqlava as you experience local life passing you by.
You haven't had real kabab until you've tried Iran's version. Discover the regional variations of the national dish, including kabab koobideh (the original) and kabab barg (barbecued fillets of meat).
Learn the secrets of ancient Persian 'medicine' at a local home, where food and drink were, and still are, pivotal to overall health and wellness, and the prevention of ailments.
Discover the dazzling colours of Golestan Palace in Tehran, Yazd's old mud brick city, and the ancient city of Persepolis in between your eating escapades.
Before booking on this trip we recommend that you read the 'Safety' section of the Essential Trip Information regarding special safety considerations for Iran trips.
Iran is one of the friendliest places you can travel, but it is very conservative. It is very important that before you sign up for this tour you are committed to following a strict dress code (particularly for women) in what may be quite warm weather. Things don't get much more different to home than this! On arrival in Iran, all women must wear a headscarf and must also have their arms and legs covered. Men must also be conservatively dressed.
Alcohol is strictly forbidden in Iran and severe penalties will be incurred by anyone attempting to bring it into the country. Drug laws are also extremely strict and travellers face lengthy jail terms if caught. If found, obscene material (including glossy magazines showing people in immodest poses), and controversial literature will all be confiscated by custom officials. Upon arrival, it is likely that you will be whisked through customs, but please note that random bag checks do occur.
The pathways around some of the sites may be uneven, rocky or dusty. Some of the guided trips may involve quite a lot of walking in the elements. Please bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared with hats, sunscreen, water or layers for cooler weather.

Each unique little shadow shows a super-creative dress up bent to each lil' hero or villain, such as Iron Man bounding on a trampoline, Batman using a kite as his bat-signal, and Thor wielding an actual hammer.
Created by Andy Fairhurst, each little tyke has built their own superhero persona using whatever they could gather from the great outdoors. If I saw a child running around with twig adamantium claws, I would pass out for cute overload.

Today I've opened my TV and found some interesting stuff to share with.
My intention to open TV was to solder debug cable but i've found that actually no soldering required (at least in my TV). Moreover there is no need to open TV at all!
The DEBUG/UART/SERIAL/EXLink interface is available at USB port marked as camera (see photo).
You can see full sized photo of main board here
Here is full power cycle log from serial console. If i understood right it is quite verbose compared to ones posted by other people. I've set Console mode to debug from SM, could it be related to verbos output or i am wrong?

Tablets Siphoning Away Time With Desktops and Traditional Media [STUDY]
As many iPad and Kindle Fire owners know, when you get a tablet, your habits change. Some start reading their email or doing most of their shopping on their tablets instead of their desktops; others begin buying more ebooks than printed books.
Those changes were highlighted in a recent Forrester survey. The research firm found that after purchasing a tablet, owners are far less likely to engage with more traditional devices and media. About a third of respondents say they use personal computers and read books less frequently. About one in four claim to read print magazines and newspapers less often, and one in five reach for their MP3 players on fewer occasions.
The big exception is TV. Surprisingly, only 12% say they watch TV less frequently. That's because tablets and TVs complement each other: 85% of tablet owners say they use their tablets while watching TV, according to a prior Forrester survey. In fact, Nielsen discovered that 30% of tablet usage occurs while watching TV.
That's not to suggest that no one is watching TV content on their tablet devices — rather, those devices are causing one in five owners to watch more video. More than half say they watch some kind of video on their tablets, and 23% say they watch TV shows on apps developed by their DVR or cable provider (i.e. Comcast Xfinity, HBO Go). Many more access video content on their tablets through iTunes, Netflix and YouTube.
Tablet ownership isn't just changing the amount of time people spend with different devices and media, it's also significantly affecting their purchases in those categories. After purchasing a tablet, 45% of respondents say they are less likely to buy an ebook reader. About a third say they are less likely to buy a portable gaming player, small TV (24" or smaller) or MP3 player. A quarter claim they are less likely to purchase a desktop computer. Potential purchases of other devices including laptops, smartphones and large TVs, appear to be largely unaffected by tablet ownership.
Are you a tablet owner? If so, how have your habits and purchases shifted since buying your device?

NEW YORK – Fifty blocks north of United Nations headquarters where the General Assembly convenes this week, a whole other cadre of development practitioners were excitedly sharing their own plans for ending poverty, empowering women and generating world peace and understanding at the Social Good Summit.
Almost every seat was filled in the auditorium of the 92nd Street Y, where world leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, philanthropists, dignitaries, bloggers, inventors and social media enthusiasts shared platforms, ideas and experiences. And almost every seat glowed with the screens of cell phones, tablets and laptops, as participants used social media platforms to amplify the messages.
Satellite meetings in Beijing and Nairobi were also livestreaming the event, and encouraging more people from more places to join in the global conversation.
Much of it hinged on ways to, in the words of one panelist, "shorten the distance between problems and solutions." Examples of this – from Masai warriors using mobile technology to find water to earthquake survivors Haiti finding help – were plentiful.
In his panel on Youth Collective action, UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin talked about the ways in which his organization's 7 Billion Actions campaign enlisted young people in conversations about how demographic trends change the world, and how to improve it.
He also mentioned the possibilities for social media to amplify the message that child marriage is "totally unacceptable" in today's world. He urged young people use the occasion of the upcoming Day of the Girl Child to help put an end to the discrimination and human rights violations that child marriage represents.
Other panelists in the summit, which was moderated by Mashable CEO Sharon Feder, included Brooke Loughrin, the US youth observer to the United Nations, and Jeff Martin, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribal Brands and mPowering.

Philadelphia Officials Set To Announce COVID-19 Restrictions Monday

If confirmed, Ret. US Army Gen. Lloyd Austin would be the first Black defense secretary for the United States.
A South Korean court has sentenced the operator of a vast online sex trafficking ring to 40 years in prison in a case that outraged the nation. Cho Ju-bin, 25, oversaw a group of 38 accomplices who befriended and then blackmailed at least 74 women into sharing explicit videos that were then posted in pay-per-view internet chat rooms. Sixteen of the victims were less than 16 years old, the age of consent in South Korea. The Seoul Central District Court on Thursday found Cho guilty of violating laws to protect minors from sexual abuse and of making a profit from producing and selling abusive footage, Yonhap News reported. Indicted on 14 criminal charges, including inducing another person involved in the trafficking ring to rape a teenage girl and concealing more than £70,000 in criminal proceeds, prosecutors had initially demanded a life sentence on the grounds of the "irreperable damage" Cho had caused his victims. They had also requested that he be obliged to wear an electronic monitoring device for 45 years. In a petition to the court, one of the women said Cho, who had worked in an orphanage and adopted the online name "The Doctor", was "evil" and deserved a 2,000-year prison term. Passing sentence, the judge said: "The accused has widely distributed sexually abusive content that he created by luring and threatening many victims." Media reports have suggested that some of the video clips showed a group of men raping a teenage girl in a motel room, while others included images of the word "slave" cut into a woman's body. One video showed girls "barking like dogs", the Kookmin Ilbo newspaper reported. Cho operated the chat room on the Telegram messenger service, with at least 10,000 people accessing the site and paying as much as £1,000 for access. Authorities have been tracing people who used the site and have identified serving police officers and teachers as among the users. Cho's arrest in March sparked fury across South Korea after prosecutors initially refused to name the suspect before his trial opened. Within days, more than 5 million people had signed petitions on the home page of Moon Jae-in, the South Korean president, demanding that the authorities withdraw his right to anonymity. A committee of senior judicial officials, a psychologist and a psychiatrist weighed the public's right to know and took the unprecedented step of naming Cho. He was then brought out in handcuffs from a police station in central Seoul to face the public. "I apologise to those that I hurt", Cho said. "Thank you for putting a brake on the life of a devil who could not be stopped." South Korea's Ministry of Justice has been the target of criticism for its failure to deal with the growing use of technology to carry out sex crimes, with one ministry official admitting that the case had been "a disaster" and apologising for its "lukewarm response" to online sexual abuse cases.

Democrats once dominated Koochiching County in the blue-collar Iron Range of northern Minnesota. "We've got to see if we can get the Democratic Party to moderate and accept the fact that rural Minnesota is not getting more conservative," said Bakk, who announced last week that he would become an independent after serving 25 years as a Democrat. The party lost House seats in the Midwest, and Democratic challengers in Iowa, Kansas, Montana and North Carolina Senate races, all once viewed as serious threats to Republican incumbents, fell, some of them hard.

President Trump said Thursday he will "certainly" leave the White House if the Electoral College, as expected, casts its votes for President-elect Joe Biden on Dec. 14, formalizing his victory.Taking questions from reporters for the first time since the election after addressing U.S. troops stationed around the world on Thanksgiving, Trump was asked if he would depart on his own accord. "Certainly I will, and you know that," he said. The Washington Post notes it was the first explicit commitment Trump has made about vacating the White House, although his advisers have maintained he would do so for some time.That said, Trump remains determined to expose the widespread voter fraud he claims occurred in swing states, despite there being no evidence there was any. "It's going to be a very hard thing to concede, because we know that there was massive fraud," he said.Trump also said he's decided whether he will attend Biden's inauguration, but he wanted to keep the suspense going and refused to reveal the answer. "I don't want to say that yet," he said.

As Germany passed the grim milestone of 1million coronavirus infections on Friday, the lustre of its success against the first wave was somewhat faded. In the spring, no major country in Europe was as effective at containing the virus, and Britain and others could only look on in envy. But the second wave has engulfed Germany along with the rest of Europe, and there is no more talk of a "German exception". Daily new infections peaked at 23,648 last week — fewer than the 33,470 recorded in the UK on Nov 12, and far fewer than France's bleak Nov 7 record of 86,852. But unlike in other European countries, where advances in treating the virus have resulted in fewer deaths, Germany has experienced a higher daily toll in the second wave. It recorded its highest 24-hour toll since the pandemic began on Wednesday, with 410. The previous record, set on April 16, was 315. Compare that to the UK figures and it is almost as if the roles have been reversed. Britain also recorded its highest toll of the second wave on Wednesday, with 695. But it saw 1,172 deaths in 24 hours on April 20. So has Germany got its response wrong this time, or has the virus just caught up with it? In part, there may simply be more deaths this time because there are more infections, say scientists.
Miami-Dade mayor Daniella Levine Cava calls decision 'deeply frustrating'
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS), Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and President Donald Trump late Friday appealed a federal judge's ruling suspending service changes and requiring aggressive steps to ensure ballot deliveries ahead of the November presidential election, the Justice Department said. The government said it was appealing U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan's preliminary injunction orders issued in late September in a pair of legal challenges.
For a brief moment when he saw the tree his father had planted in the Sudanese refugee camp many decades ago, the old man forgot the knives and explosions which had forced him to flee Ethiopia a second time. "My father planted this tree when we lived here before," said Gebrehiwot Gidey. "It was 10pm when we arrived at the camp, but I could see the tree in the dark. I went up to it and kissed it. I was so happy to see it was still here." In the Eighties, tens of thousands of people like Mr Gidey fled a ruthless Marxist dictatorship and a vast famine in Ethiopia across the mountains into the scraggy wasteland of Eastern Sudan. Mr Gidey, a 60-year-old man from the Tigray region in northern Ethiopia, lived for years with his family near the border in Um-Rakoba camp. He built a house for himself there and married his wife under the tree his father planted to provide shade from the harsh desert sun. Eventually, when it was safe, Mr Gidey returned to his home in northern Ethiopia's Tigray region. But now the weathered farmer has had to flee to Um-Rakoba once again.
French authorities have suspended police officers accused of assaulting and racially abusing a Black man in Paris, after CCTV footage of the incident was released and caused an outcry. The music producer, who has identified himself as Michel, was beaten at the entrance to his studio. French President Emmanuel Macron was quoted by France's BFM TV as being "very shocked" by the CCTV and mobile phone images, which were obtained by the LoopSider news outlet and made headline news on French channels. The officers involved were suspended pending investigation at the interior minister's request. Michel told reporters he'd been walking in the street without a face mask, against French COVID-19 rules. When he saw a police car he went into his studio to avoid getting a fine. But the police followed him inside and arrested him, violently. The video purports to show them kicking and beating him, and he says they hurled racial abuse at him too. They then leave, and throw a tear gas canister into the studio. As anger grew, French soccer stars added to the chorus of condemnation. Kylian Mbappe tweeted that the video was "intolerable" and his fellow Les Bleus striker, Antoine Griezmann wrote: "My France is hurting." The alleged attack on Michel risks inflaming racial tension, and fuelling criticism of a draft law that would limit journalists' ability to show images of French police officers at work. The prime minister's office said on Thursday (November 26) it would set up an independent commission to propose a new draft of the legislation. Some "BlackLivesMatter" protests broke out in Paris in June, a month after the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in the United States. The movement resonates in France, in particular in deprived city suburbs, where rights groups say accusations of police brutality, often against people with immigrant backgrounds, remain largely unaddressed. And Paris police were already under fire this week after social media photos and videos showed officers hitting protesters as they cleared out an illegal migrants campsite in a central Paris square.
'This defendant terrorised an entire family by threatening to kill African American parents and their four children'
In a surprise news conference on Thanksgiving Day, President Trump took questions from the press for the first time since losing re-election—but he doubled down on his "rigged" election claims and appeared to deny the reality that his presidency is ending, saying it will be "very hard" for him to concede to Joe Biden."I think it's not right he's trying to pick a Cabinet," Trump complained after railing against the supposed "massive fraud" that he claims gave Biden victory.Reiterating his claims of voter fraud in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia despite the fact that state authorities have already certified the election results in those states, Trump appeared to become combative when asked if he would concede if the Electoral College votes for Biden on Dec. 14. Although he eventually did say he would exit the White House if the vote were not in his favor, that answer came after he first repeatedly cast doubt on the Electoral College and election in general. "It's going to be a very hard thing to concede. Because we know there was massive fraud," he said when first asked if he would concede. Pennsylvania Certifies Biden as Winner, Driving Stake in Trump's Legal Effort"Time isn't on our side … this was a massive fraud, this should never take place in this country, we're like a third-world country," he said, suggesting that faulty vote-counting machines gave Biden millions of extra votes.Asked a second time if he would concede if the Electoral College votes for Biden, Trump responded, "Well if they do they made a mistake," before saying it's a "possibility" and scolding a reporter who pressed him on the issue: "Don't talk to me that way, you're just a lightweight."Asked by another reporter if he would "leave this building" if the Electoral College elects Biden, he said, "Certainly, I will."While Trump and his legal team have repeatedly looked to throw out votes in states that Joe Biden carried, none of their challenges have proved successful.Key states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia—all of which Trump carried in 2016, before flipping blue this year—certified their results this week, ensuring they will send a Democratic slate of voters to the Electoral College. Wisconsin and Arizona, two more states that flipped to Biden, are set to certify their results next week."Massive fraud has been found. We're like a third world country," Trump said, before launching back into allegations of voter fraud that have been repeatedly rebuffed in court and by state election officials of both parties."I did so well ... that they didn't know what to do," he said at one point of election results in Georgia, claiming that ballots for him were "thrown away.""I don't know what is going to happen. I know one thing, Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes. And I got 74 million but there were many ballots thrown away, so I got much more than that. But I got 74 million, 74 million is 11 million more than I got last time. … And it's millions more than Hillary Clinton got."Underneath all of the bravado, Trump at one point slipped up and blasted "the Biden administration," apparently inadvertently recognizing Biden's win.While Trump has refused to concede and maintained that somehow, he would win states he had already lost, his administration has relented behind the scenes.Earlier this week, Emily Murphy, the head of the General Services Administrations—a Trump appointee—signed off on a letter officially allowing the presidential transition to begin. Murphy had previously refused to do so, a partisan move from a historically non-partisan agency.Even Trump appeared to have a moment of clarity Thursday regarding a potential COVID-19 cure and his future (or lack thereof) in the White House."Don't let Joe Biden take credit for the vaccine," he said.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
