Here in Las Vegas, there are differing odds posted at every sports book and the objective for every bettor — whether playing $5 on each driver or $500 — is finding the best value. There’s nothing wrong with taking a walk up and down the strip to find that best value — the cool weather probably makes it the best time of year to take a stroll odds hunting, but we thought we’d simplify it for all by just making a list so you can map out your plan of attack and fire away at the best available number....

You should skip Porter’s book if you think Japan’s export prowess stems mainly from a shrewd alliance between industry and government. Far more important, as he shows, is the ferocious rivalry among Japanese firms in their home market. In 1987, there were 9 major Japanese auto companies, 14 suppliers of copiers and 16 of cameras. These companies constantly brawl to increase sales in Japan. The pressures to lower costs, increase quality and introduce new products translate into export success....

The worst snow job ever. MORE: How Top 25 fared Saturday | But that Auburn scoreboard … | Week 2 photos Somehow we were led to believe that Auburn was more than it is: a team that lost its way in 2014, lost five games and didn’t really have anything remotely concrete about who and what they were heading into 2015. Only hype. The hype of Jeremy Johnson, the hype of Will Muschamp....

Liga MX giant Pachuca gave up a lead to draw 4-4 at Olimpia in Tegucigalpa on Wednesday, but it was enough to secure a spot The draw wrapped up Group E for the Mexicans, who finished on top with 10 points and three clear of Olimpia, which needed a victory. The lights went out and caused a delay during the clash in Honduras, where Pachuca seemed to be in control before a late comeback....

Hot molecules move faster than cold molecules. When a fast molecule crashes into a cold molecule, the fast molecule gives away some of its energy and heats the other molecule. [3] X Research source For example, say you’re reading this article on your laptop (which is sitting on your lap). The bottom of your laptop is most likely warm and heating your legs, and that’s all because of conduction. [4] X Research source...

“What are you talking about? 😕” “Huh? 😕” “😕 I’m so lost. ” “😕 Ok I’m going to need you to run that by me again. ” This is definitely not something you want to use in a professional setting and is meant more for casual conversations between friends. If you’re confused at work, a simple question will suffice. [1] X Research source “So we’re not hanging out? 😕” “Oh 😕 I see....

But Warner became something else. An increasingly rare centrist in the Republican ranks, he looked for ways to overcome Washington’s ever more poisonous partisan culture. He took brave stands on gun control and reached across the aisle to join the Gang of 14 to end the foolish impasse over appointing federal judges a few years back. He became a measured but respected critic of the Bush administration’s handling of the Iraq War, especially the Bush team’s disregard for the Geneva Conventions....

Just over a year ago, Trump spoke at a large “Stop the Steal” rally of supporters near the White House in Washington, D.C. as Congress met in a joint session to certify the Electoral College victory of President Joe Biden. In that speech, Trump urged attendees to head to the U.S. Capitol and “fight like hell” to save their country. Hundreds of his supporters proceeded to do just that, believing the false claim that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen....

The little-known Congressional Review Act (CRA) gives Congress a brief window to repeal the Trump rules without significant debate or the 60 Senate votes that are normally required to avoid a filibuster. Instead, simple majority votes by Democrats in both chambers of Congress and the stroke of President Joe Biden’s pen could invalidate many of the Trump rules. In a report published earlier this week, progressive advocacy group Public Citizen outlined at list of “major” regulations introduced by the Trump administration that could be targeted by Democrats and wiped out under the CRA, including a rule allowing faith-based housing discrimination against LGBT people and a host of environmental deregulations....

Taylor, who has been the top diplomat in Ukraine since Trump controversially recalled Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch this summer, testified before congressional investigators in connection with the House’s impeachment inquiry. Some of his text messages to other diplomats have already been made public as part of the fast-moving probe, with one note suggesting there was a quid pro quo involved with President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign against Ukraine. Levin, a freshman Democrat from Michigan, emerged from the closed-door session and briefly shared his thoughts with journalists outside, NBC News and Fox News reported....

McGregor, the former featherweight and lightweight champion, will make his return to the Octagon on Saturday. He hasn’t fought since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in an October 2018 clash that was overshadowed by a post-bout brawl. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year When he announced his return from retirement, the Irishman said he was planning three fights in 2020, with Jorge Masvidal — due to his victory over Nate Diaz to clinch the BMF title — and Nurmagomedov his primary targets....

Thomas, who is part of the court’s conservative majority, delivered a lecture at the University of Notre Dame on Thursday, in which he warned against “destroying our institutions.” Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett, another conservative, also defended the Supreme Court in a speech on Sunday, saying the justices were not “a bunch of partisan hacks.” During his lecture on Thursday, Thomas warned against judges weighing in on issues that are better left to other branches of government....

Wiles made the comments on the Wednesday night edition of his show TruNews. The preacher reacted to news that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was considering a national lockdown due to COVID-19 by insisting that God had sent a “plague” to the synagogues in order to punish Jews. “Stay out of those things, there’s a plague in them. God’s dealing with false religions,” said Wiles. “God’s dealing with people who oppose his son, Jesus Christ....

Late last week, GOP leadership and conservatives agreed to make changes, and now the House has passed the rules package that the “Group of 20” bargained for. This represents a generational change in the way the House will function—not for conservatives’ political advantage, but for the benefit of the American people. Call it chaos if you want, but last week seemed to have significantly altered the power dynamic in Washington....

Contrary to the claims of many conservatives, political correctness did not trade “free speech” for “censorship” so much as it traded one set of standards for another, each with its own taboos. The ancient Israelites prohibited utterance of the Holy Name; politically correct moderns censor Mark Twain’s use of the n-word in Huckleberry Finn. The traditional liturgical calendar dedicates February, March and June to the Holy Family, St. Joseph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, respectively; the liturgical calendar of secular liberalism dedicates those months to Black history, women’s history and pride, once considered the deadliest of the seven deadly sins, elevated by political correctness to the paramount virtue....

The Center for Security Policy (CSP) is holding its annual Flame Dinner fundraising event at Trump’s resort on November 23. As reported by the Palm Beach Post, tickets for the event are being sold for $650. CSP are described by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a former respectable think-tank turned “conspiracy-oriented mouthpiece for the growing anti-Muslim movement” in the U.S. The group’s founder, Frank Gaffney, is a known conspiracy theorist who suggested that former president Barack Obama was Muslim, following his trips to Saudi Arabia and Egypt....

Consumers Energy says restoration work will continue through Friday for most of its customers but the hardest-hit areas, including Branch, Calhoun, Kent, Jackson, and Saginaw counties, could undergo restoration work through the weekend. As of 6.50 a.m., local time Thursday morning, approximately 147,000 Consumers Energy customers were without power, caused by around 3,500 outages across the state. However, 92 percent of customers currently have power. The Michigan areas currently experiencing outages include Battle Creek and its surrounding areas and areas south-east of Mount Pleasant....

A 1-0 victory at Middlesbrough on Sunday - secured by Diego Costa’s 10th league goal of the season - was Chelsea’s sixth in succession without conceding a goal. Boro boss Aitor Karanka labelled the Blues as title favourites before the game, owing much to their lack of European commitments. And Conte says a pre-season of hard work is beginning to bear fruit for his ominously in-form side. “I think that we are ready,” Conte told a news conference....

Chelsea are eight points behind Tottenham in the race for the top four after Spurs came from behind to claim a first win at Stamford Bridge since 1990. Alvaro Morata pounced on an error from Hugo Lloris to give Chelsea the lead, only for a wondrous long-range strike from Christian Eriksen to level matters on the stroke of half-time. Dele Alli then scored twice in five minutes after the restart to end Tottenham’s long hoodoo in west London and pile the pressure on Conte, whose Chelsea future appears in serious doubt....

The Italian has been linked with a move back to his homeland after just one season in England. He has, however, enjoyed a productive 12 months at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea falling narrowly short in their efforts to secure a league and FA Cup double. ‘Costa preparing to screw Chelsea’ The Blues are now preparing for life back in the Champions League and Holland, who is leaving the club to take on a full-time role with England, is confident stability in the dugout will be maintained, regardless of reported interest from Inter....
