The United States as a whole has 81 percent of African American children attending non-white majority schools, as compared to 77 percent in 1968.
Moreover, the concentration of African American children into non-white majority schools has increased in every region except the Midwest, which has been broadly stable.
We note that the data for the Border region reflects the broader Hispanic immigration, which complicates the comparison to some extent.

In the days after January 6, 2021, Trump had discredited himself with his party and stood on the brink of reputational ruin.
The House had impeached him for his coup attempt, with ten Republicans joining in.
With a small push, #McConnell likely could have mustered enough votes to convict him and disqualify the former president from holding public office again.

Decoding the Pulse of Community during Disasters: Resilience Analysis Based on Fluctuations in Latent Lifestyle Signatures within Human Visitation Networks
Examining the impact of disasters on life activities of populations is critical for understanding community resilience dynamics, yet it remains insufficiently studied in the existing literature. In this study, we leveraged data from more than 1.2 million anonymized human mobility communications across 30 parishes in Louisiana to construct a temporal network that tracks visitation to places from which we characterized human lifestyle signatures before, during, and after Hurricane Ida in 2021.

Report: NFC East team not interested in Mike Vrabel for defensive coordinator job
Mike Vrabel was presumably hoping that the Dallas Cowboys’ loss would be his gain. But it wasn’t meant to be after the Cowboys reportedly expressed no interest in having Vrabel interview for their defensive coordinator position vacated by Dan Quinn, who took the head-coaching job with the Washington Commanders, according to Will Steele of A to Z Sports. Quinn had been Dallas’ defensive coordinator since 2021. The team finished fifth, fifth and seventh, respectively, in scoring defense, an…

Discrete slip plane analysis of ferrite microtensile tests: On the influence of dislocation source distribution and non-Schmid effects on slip system activity
The slip system activity in microtensile tests of ferrite single crystals is compared with predictions made by the discrete slip plane model proposed by Wijnen et al. (International Journal of Solids and Structures 228, 111094, 2021). This is an extension of conventional crystal plasticity in which the stochastics and physics of dislocation sources are taken into account in a discrete slip band. This results in discrete slip traces and non-deterministic mechanical behavior, similar to what is o…

His teams went 72-56-1 and made three playoff appearances in seven seasons. Prior to his time with Minnesota, Zimmer wa…

Power Series Composition in Near-Linear Time
We present an algebraic algorithm that computes the composition of two power series in $\mathop{\tilde{\mathrm O}}(n)$ time complexity. The previous best algorithms are $\mathop{\mathrm O}(n^{1+o(1)})$ by Kedlaya and Umans (FOCS 2008) and an $\mathop{\mathrm O}(n^{1.43})$ algebraic algorithm by Neiger, Salvy, Schost and Villard (JACM 2023). Our algorithm builds upon the recent Graeffe iteration approach to manipulate rational power series introduced by Bostan and Mori (SOSA 2021).

From the moment the Dallas Cowboys hired Mike Zimmer as defensive coordinator, there's one linebacker that's been in the minds of fans and media alike as a perfect fit to arrive in the offseason: Eric Kendricks. The former Minnesota Vikings LB who played for Zimmer for so many years (2015-2021), however, was under contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. On Tuesday, that changed as he was cut by L.A.  That means he's open for business and in my opinion, he should immediately be targeted by the …

Jerry Jones on Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine tried his hardest to downplay what the team has planned for wide receiver Michael Gallup. “We don't have a decision that we would like to talk about right now,” Jones said.
