Why Does Nobody Want 28-Year-Old Pro Bowler?
Free agent wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has yet to draw much interest on the open market. A fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Clemson product established himself as a reliable depth option early in his career before breaking out in 2021. Appearing in all 17 games, Renfrow finished the season with 103 receptions for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns on 128 targets. With his help, Vegas made it to the playoffs as the wide receiver earned a spot on the Pro Bowl roster. Unfortunately, the w…

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…

'70M came to arms': Prosecutors claim first rioter inside Capitol ranted about civil war
The first person to breach the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, is being accused by federal prosecutors of regurgitating false claims and conspiracy theories about Donald Trump and other politicians in the wake of the former President's 2020 election loss. Michael Sparks has been charged with ...

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that: "The manufacturing sector was responsible for 12% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. **About 75% of those emissions came from burning fuel to create heat**, and the rest were by-products of industrial processes that transform materials into products."
Note: Most low to moderate temperature heat demands could be satisfied with heat pumps rather than burning fuel.

Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the Manufacturing Sector
At a Glance When producing goods, the manufacturing sector emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause global warming, both by burning fossil fuels and through certain industrial processes.

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).

Stephen Jones discusses Dak Prescott’s future with Cowboys
The gridiron marriage between quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys appears to be one that’s built to last. After yet another playoff flameout this season, questions abounded on whether or not the Cowboys would make any major changes. Team ownership showed their commitment to head coach Mike McCarthy last month. The Jones family is keeping that same energy toward their longtime QB1. Prescott is entering the final year of the four-year, $160M contract he signed in 2021. While speakin…

What can Hurricane SAM (2021) tell us about ocean waves under tropical cyclones?
We investigate the ocean wave field under Hurricane SAM (2021). Whilst measurements of waves under Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are rare, an unusually large number of quality in situ and remote measurements are available in that case. First, we highlight the good consistency between the wave spectra provided by the Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring (SWIM) instrument onboard the China-France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT), the in situ spectra measured by National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buo…

A metric counterpart of the Gu-Yung formula
In this note we consider a generalisation to the metric setting of the recent work [Gu-Yung, JFA 281 (2021), 109075]. In particular, we show that under relatively weak conditions on a metric measure space $(X,d,ν)$, it holds true that \[ \bigg[ \frac{u(x)-u(y)}{d(x,y)^{\frac{s}{p}}} \bigg]_{L^p_w(X \times X, ν\otimes ν)} \approx \| u \|_{L^p(X,ν)}, \] where $s$ is a generalised dimension associated to $X$ and $[\cdot]_{L^p_w}$ is the weak Lebesgue norm. We provide some counterexam…
