NFL fifth-year player options: Tracking team decisions for 2021 first-rounders
A look at how each 2021 first-round draft pick has performed, as Thursday's deadline for teams to pick up or decline the option looms.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he stands by comments he made in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol that former presidents, including Donald Trump, are

Still Pretending To Be President, Trump Even Has An 'Envoy'
Ever since he sullenly departed from the White House in January 2021, a portion of Donald Trump’s supporters have maintained that he is actually still in charge of the “real” government and running the military while President Joe Biden is left with a fake government and a ”bad military.” That view may be deep into the land of deplorable delusions, but in a way, Trump really has been running his own government.

Dozens of deaths reveal risks of sedating people restrained by police
An investigation led by The Associated Press has found that the practice of giving sedatives to people detained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, built on questionable science and backed by police-aligned experts. The injections are given by medical personnel during police encounters. The investigation shows how a strategy intended to reduce violence and save lives has resulted in some avoidable deaths. While sedatives were mentioned as a cause or contributi…

Fused Extended Two-Way Fixed Effects for Difference-in-Differences with Staggered Adoptions
To address the bias of the canonical two-way fixed effects estimator for difference-in-differences under staggered adoptions, Wooldridge (2021) proposed the extended two-way fixed effects estimator, which adds many parameters. However, this reduces efficiency. Restricting some of these parameters to be equal (for example, subsequent treatment effects within a cohort) helps, but ad hoc restrictions may reintroduce bias. We propose a machine learning estimator with a single tuning parameter, fuse…

Gradient estimates for positive eigenfunctions of $ \mathcal{L} $-operator on conformal solitons and its applications
We prove a local gradient estimate for positive eigenfunctions of $ \mathcal{L} $-operator on conformal solitons given by a general conformal vector field. As an application, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for $ \mathcal{L} u = 0 $, which improves the one of Li--Sun (Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.), 37(11): 1768--1782, 2021.). We also consider applications where manifolds are special conformal solitons. Especially in the case of self-shrinkers, a better Liouville type theorem is obtained.

Nodal precession of a hot Jupiter transiting the edge of a late A-type star TOI-1518

The high rotation speed of the host star ($\sim85$ km s$^{-1}$) and the nearly polar orbit of the planet ($\sim 120$ deg) may cause a nodal precession.

All-Pro Superstar Threatens Holdout Amist Contract Dispute
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is entering the final year of his rookie contract and could holdout for a better deal. A first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Oklahoma product quickly established himself as one of the most dangerous secondary options in the game. While playing behind Amari Cooper, the wide receiver recorded a combined 153 receptions for 2,037 yards and 11 touchdowns through his first two seasons. The Cowboys traded Amari Cooper following the 2021 season, leaving …

The Falsification Adaptive Set in Linear Models with Instrumental Variables that Violate the Exclusion or Conditional Exogeneity Restriction
Masten and Poirier (2021) introduced the falsification adaptive set (FAS) in linear models with a single endogenous variable estimated with multiple correlated instrumental variables (IVs). The FAS reflects the model uncertainty that arises from falsification of the baseline model. We show that it applies to cases where a conditional exogeneity assumption holds and invalid instruments violate the exclusion assumption only. We propose a generalized FAS that reflects the model uncertainty when so…

Proving the stability estimates of variational least-squares Kernel-Based methods
Motivated by the need for the rigorous analysis of the numerical stability of variational least-squares kernel-based methods for solving second-order elliptic partial differential equations, we provide previously lacking stability inequalities. This fills a significant theoretical gap in the previous work [Comput. Math. Appl. 103 (2021) 1-11], which provided error estimates based on a conjecture on the stability. With the stability estimate now rigorously proven, we complete the theoretical fou…

“It can’t happen here”
—that’s the stock phrase used by Sinclair Lewis to warn about European-style fascism creeping into U.S. politics in the 1930s,

—and by many Americans to reassure themselves of their country’s stability ever since the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The landing site was originally one of two in Crisium considered for a geophysical network mission. My map shows both network candidate sites. The Picard site (A, B) was dropped and a site near a volcanic cone called Mons Latreille (C, D) was chosen. A hazard-free site nearby was selected via several studies in 2021-2022 (E-G).

The Council for National Policy began taking root on Jan. 22, 1981, when six religious and social conservatives gathered for dinner at a home in Dallas.
Most American conservatives were still jubilant about the inauguration of Ronald Reagan two days earlier.
They rejoiced at the prospect that Reagan might make good on one of his campaign slogans:
“Let’s Make America Great Again.”
Over dinner, they resolved to bring together
