Davos Live Talk Transcript

Lexington, KY: What are all the rich folks in Davos talking about in terms of their investments? Are they selling all their stocks? Dan Gross: People are generally tight-lipped about their portfolios. I was at a lunch yesterday with George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund manager. One of my fellow reporters asked him where it would be a good place to put money to work at this time. Soros looked at him with a glare that was about as chilly as the air outside....

Dc United 0 1 Real Salt Lake Visitors Win Postponed Mls Clash

DC and RSL took to the field at RFK Stadium on Saturday but the match was stopped in the 28th minute due to storms with the game scoreless. Villa sinks struggling Galaxy When the clash resumed the next day, RSL came out on top thanks to Luis Silva’s 64th-minute strike. After a goalless first half, which saw DC’s Kofi Opare rattle the crossbar with a header, Silva pounced on Marcelo Sarvas’ misplaced clearance to unleash a half-volley past Bill Hamid....

De Bruyne In Scoring Form Eden Hazard S World Cup Prospects And Near Relegation For The Visitors Talking Points As Belgium Beat Wales

Michy Batshuayi and Kevin de Bruyne finished clinically to ensure the hosts remained within three points of the Netherlands and kept alive their chances of winning the group and being in the Nations League finals in June 2023. Romelu Lukaku, who had a minor thigh issue, was not risked in attack. The initial absence of Gareth Bale, who entered as a substitute, was a sensible decision by Page after the captain joined the squad late following an LAFC game on Monday, and it also gave the Wales manager the chance to test his other potentially key goal threats - initially Brennan Johnson, Kieffer Moore and Dan James - in attack....

De Extinction Scientists Are Planning To Bring A Long Lost Tiger Species Back To Life

Tasmanian tigers, or thylacines, were a type of marsupial that went extinct in mainland Australia around 3,000 years ago. They lived on in Tasmania until European settlers wiped them out in the wild through hunting. The last living Tasmanian tiger died in captivity in 1936. Scientists with the University of Melbourne, Australia, have been working on a project to “de-extinct” the animals for years and new funding for a state-of-the-art laboratory has brought them to the brink of resurrecting this lost species....

Deadly Bomb At Heart Of Vegas Murder Probe

That was the last thing Antonio did. Hidden inside was a homemade bomb. It detonated when Antonio picked it up with an explosive force that investigators say was equivalent to one stick of dynamite. The blast ripped a 12-by-3-inch hole in the Saturn’s roof, as well as another fist-size gap. Shrapnel sprayed surrounding vehicles, with one piece penetrating Antonio’s brain. After he died at University Medical Center at 6:14 a....

Dealing With A New Russia

The roller coaster of events in Moscow–first the ominous coup, then the return of Gorbachev and the triumph of Yeltsin–has resolved Gorbachev’s dilemma. The Communist Party has been dissolved. The transformation of the Soviet society will now take place under the aegis of democracy. For the first time a new kind of state is coming into view on Soviet soil: less militaristic, loosely confederated and less expansionist. None of this seemed likely while the old establishment backed by Gorbachev and the reformist elements under Yeltsin were threatening to paralyze each other....

Deciphering The Bones

Now scientists are beginning a fresh investigation into what is believed to be the biggest mass grave of Napoleonic soldiers ever found in Europe. Their findings are expected to provide fascinating answers into life on the Continent almost 200 years ago. Who joined the Imperial Army and why were there women’s skeletons in the pit as well? How were prisoners of war treated? And, for the historians: was Napoleon correct in blaming the cold for killing thousands during his Army’s disastrous 1812 retreat from Moscow, or was that just a cover-up for his military miscalculations?...

Deciphering The Code Of The Street

In such a setting, Anderson maintains, violence serves a useful purpose. It’s a way of demanding the respect that mainstream society withholds. It’s the response of isolated, angry people fending for themselves. “Where you’ve got large numbers of alienated people, and the police are dealing with them in disrespectful ways, street justice is the norm,” he observes. In other words, the police are largely to blame, along with a society that provides few jobs and little hope....

Decline And Fall

But most just wanted him gone. The Senate has not expelled one of its own since the Civil War, and that was for treason against the United States. Packwood was guilty of treason of another kind, against the Senate club. Some senators, particularly the younger ones, were revolted by Packwood’s well-documented lechery, his insistent mouth and wandering hands. Even so, Pack-wood might have survived mere groping; there are a number of lawmakers who have done worse and gotten away with it....
