    Broward County’s undervote rate is way out of line with every other county in Florida, which exhibited, at most, a 0.8-percent difference. (There is one outlier — the sparsely populated Liberty County — where votes cast in the Senate race were 1 percent higher than in the governor race, but there we’re talking about a difference of 26 votes, not more than 26,000, as is the case in Broward.)

    ***I AM NOT VOUCHING 100% FOR THIS - BUT SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND REPEATING HERE*** In PA per 11/9 AM count, Trump 2,912,941, Clinton 2,844,705. After nearly every county has updated: Trump 2,961,875, Clinton 2,915,440. Lead is now 46k according to these guys. They are saying the change was driven by updated counts out of Philadelphia: Clinton 584,020 (from 560,542) Trump 108,748 (from 105,418) This is not as part of a recount, but from final official releases by county in PA.
  • FBI Special Agent Employment (vanity)

    A friend of mine has been invited to take Phase I of the FBI Special Agent examination. He has a CPA background, so would be doing more of that, as opposed to in the field. He has some reservations about even trying, as there is such a small chance of making it all the way. He is also nervous about moving his family to a new place if they tell him to, and is curious about travel, and the job in general, as it is pretty impossible to search for this information. They are also strict about calling the offices...

    'Big Brother' Participants in Dark By PAUL GEITNER, Associated Press Writer BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - Many people can't get enough news about the terrorist attacks in the United States, but a few are getting absolutely none: those locked up in ``Big Brother'' houses. Producers of versions of the reality-TV show running in Belgium, Denmark and South Africa have decided to stick to their rule forbidding participants from learning about anything outside the house. Only the Netherlands, where the show originated, made an exception for the 18 contestants in the Dutch house. ``This is such a great disaster, it has so ...

    Fox news has just reported that they possibly may have found a body of a hijacker because he was found in the cockpit area of the plane and did not have on pilots clothes. Also, they may have found the body of a stewardess who had her hands tied behind her back with wire. This is from the guy on the ground near the WTC on Fox News (sorry I don't know his name)

    FRANKFURT -- In Germany, the hardest part of chopping down a tree is cutting through the red tape. Just ask Bernd F. Lunkewitz. Last winter lightning badly damaged a big oak in his front yard, but to remove it he needed approval from the city government. The owner of a small publishing house, Mr. Lunkewitz figured it was a clear-cut case. The tree's bark was blown off and its roots scorched, as his landscaper certified in a letter. Besides, it is only one of about 100 trees on his gated estate, and just on the other side of his fence ...

    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A student newspaper joined the dispute regarding Dale Earnhardt's autopsy photos, requesting that it be allowed to see them. The Independent Florida Alligator, which is run by University of Florida students but is not an official university publication, filed a motion in a Daytona Beach court Friday. Dale Earnhardt was killed in a crash at the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18. A settlement between Earnhardt's widow and the Orlando Sentinel and a bill proposed in the state Legislature limiting access and barring publication of the photos is not in the public's best interest, Alligator editor Jason ...
