Better Laws Of The Jungle

Everybody is wrong. When Fernando Collor de Mello assumed the presidency last year, he abolished subsidies for big cattle ranchers, began closing pig-iron smelters that depend on charcoal from virgin forest and raised taxes on previously tax-exempt agriculture profits. As a result, the loss of forested land plummeted from 90,000 square kilometers in 1987 to between 5,000 and 10,000 square kilometers in 1990, according to the latest satellite data. “You see the biggest difference in areas that had been cleared for cattle ranches,” Jose Lutzenberger, Brazil’s secretary of environment, told NEWSWEEK last month....

Betting Analysis And Picks As Usa Begins World Cup Play Vs. Ghana

For karma’s sake, we’ll have a bet on the USA when the Stars and Stripes take on Ghana in their World Cup opener today (6 p.m. ET, ESPN), but numbers produced by AccuScore suggest it’s not necessarily a smart wager. The U.S. won just 20.7 percent of AccuScore’s 10,000 game simulations, meaning bettors should be getting nearly 4-to-1 on the Americans today, so we’re certainly not getting a bargain at the +185 or +190 being offered in Las Vegas....

Bettors Not Buying Florida State Even At Double Digit Odds

No one – the selection committee, bookmakers and bettors included – is impressed with Florida State. The Seminoles may be undefeated, but they continue to escape with narrow victories, and a lack of style points has caused them to slip in the new College Football Playoff rankings . They remain in the all-important top four, but they’ve been surpassed by TCU for the No. 3 spot. In Las Vegas, the Westgate SuperBook is offering FSU at a seemingly tantalizing price of 10-to-1, raised from 7-to-1 last week despite a 24-19 win over Florida....

The comedy icon passed away last week at the age of 99, prompting widespread mourning from the entertainment world and beyond. Following her death, rumors began to spread that The Golden Girls star died after she received her coronavirus booster shot. “My understanding is it was natural causes.

Between A Wing And A Prayer

Since Congress began protecting endangered species in the early 1900s, American Indians have been caught between a wing and a prayer – sometimes breaking federal laws to fulfill their religious obligations. Now, however, a new federal law – another one of “yours” – may rescue Jim. A motion to overturn his conviction, set for next month in U.S. District Court, is expected to be the first test of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which President Clinton signed in November....

Beware Of Ruthless Marko Pierre Gasly Warned Over Red Bull Boss

“If Marko chooses someone, he will take it seriously,” di Resta explained to Motorsport.com. “But in front of every rider he gets promoted, there is also a driver he drops, he is pretty ruthless.” Di Resta, who drove for Force India in the early part of the decade and represented Williams in one race last year, cited the example of some Red Bull recruits who were axed too early....

Bias Begins At Home

Now a survey by the Metropolitan Chicago Information Center suggests that African-Americans are more likely than whites to hold negative opinions of their fellow blacks’ innate capabilities. The survey shows that nearly 14 percent of black adults in the Chicago area agreed that African-Americans have less “inborn ability to learn than whites,” while only about 9 percent of whites believed blacks were inferior. The survey also showed that more than a third of Chicago-area blacks thought that poor African-Americans lack the willpower to pull themselves out of poverty....

Biden Flipped 24 Counties That Trump Turned Red In 2016

The vast majority of Obama-Trump counties reiterated their support for the president on Election Day as Trump won about 88 percent of them in his re-election bid. However, two of the three Obama-Trump counties in Pennsylvania went for Biden, including Northampton County, a key indicator for the state. Northampton, a northeastern county of about 300,000 people that was built on manufacturing, has voted for the winning presidential candidate in nearly every election since 1932....

Biden National Security Adviser Says Trump Admin Didn T Take Pandemic Surveillance Seriously

“What I believe is that the Trump administration did not take pandemic surveillance as seriously as they should have,” said the White House official on Sunday morning’s Face the Nation, where he emphasized the importance of foresight in comments to CBS News’ Margaret Brennan. “I think it is absolutely the case, and we’ve seen this in COVID-19, that pandemics represent one of the most severe threats to American lives and livelihoods,” Sullivan told the program moderator....

Biden Nearly 5 Times More Likely Than Trump To Win Election Forecast Models Average Shows

Presidential elections in the U.S. are not decided by who gets the most votes. In order to actually win the contest, a candidate must receive a majority of votes in the Electoral College. There are a total of 538 individuals from each state who decide which candidate becomes president. Candidates need at least 270 Electoral College votes to clinch the presidency. While those electors often follow the popular vote, that has not always been the case....

Biden Rescue Of Afghan Interpreter In Media Stunt Left Hundreds Stranded

The 260 Afghan residents of the safehouse looked on as more than 20 armed men from the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Services streamed from the vehicles, entered the building and lined up, weapons in hand, creating a human corridor. The Afghans had all been expecting to be evacuated. But the security forces had only come for the “high-priority package:” President Joe Biden’s one-time Afghan interpreter and his family. After Aman Khalili and six of his family were rushed to the SUVs, more than 200 of the Afghans surged into the street, throwing rocks at the cars, blocking them with their bodies and begging to be taken as well....

Valverde Eibar A Good Test Ahead Of Chelsea Clash

Back-to-back draws against Espanyol and Getafe had left the door slightly ajar in the title race and Luis Suarez’s opening goal came despite a tide of relentless pressure from Jose Luis Mendilibar’s hosts during the opening stages. Eibar were barely discouraged by Fabian Orellana’s red card midway through the second half and Barca needed Jordi Alba’s goal two minutes from time to make sure of extending their lead at the top over Atletico Madrid to 10 points ....

Valverde Addresses Dembele Future At Barcelona

Dembele is yet to justify the reported €105 million fee paid to prise him away from Borussia Dortmund, managing just eight La Liga starts since returning from a hamstring injury in January. The 20-year-old’s stuttering start to life in Spain has fuelled speculation linking him with a switch to Champions League finalists Liverpool. Asked whether Barca would consider loaning him out, Valverde insisted continuity was key to unlocking the France international’s potential....

Valverde Wishes Barca Title Win Had Not Relegated Deportivo

The champions ran out 4-2 winners at the Riazor, with Lionel Messi grabbing the match by the scruff of the neck and scoring twice late on to complete a hat-trick. Deportivo, who needed a win to stave off relegation for another weekend, battled back from 2-0 down before Messi took over in the last eight minutes. The title victory for Barca caps a marvellous season for Valverde’s side, who are still yet to suffer defeat in LaLiga and targeting an unbeaten domestic season....
