Navy reverses demotion of former White House doctor Ronny Jackson
Rep. Ronny Jackson has announced that the Navy has restored his retired rank of rear admiral. This overturns a 2022 demotion that followed a scathing investigation that found major issues with his behavior while he was the top White House physician. The Texas Republican on Wednesday posted a June 13 letter from Navy Secretary John Phelan saying he had reinstated Jackson to the retired rank of a one-star admiral following a “review of all applicable reports and references.” The Navy confirme…

Former world leaders call for permanent taxes on oil and gas profits
During an energy price crisis in 2022, similar taxes raised billions, the authors argue.

In 2022 Larry Ellison gave Elon Musk $1 billion to help fund his purchase of Twitter (now X).
And last year Skydance Media merged with Paramount creating a conglomerate with almost unmatched reach.
While Larry’s son David runs Paramount on paper, it’s the father who actually owns the company.
This means that Larry Ellison owns a controlling stake in a broadcast network (CBS),
a major streaming platform (Paramount ),
multiple movie studios,
CBS News,

Larry Ellison’s quest to run the world
TikTok is the latest prize in the Silicon Valley billionaire’s second act as a media mogul.

📢 Bundesanwaltschaft meldet Festnahme von mutmaßlichem "Nord-Stream"-Angreifer
Die Bundesanwaltschaft hat nach eigenen Angaben einen ukrainischen Staatsangehörigen in Italien festnehmen lassen. Er soll einer Gruppe von Personen angehört haben, die im September 2022 nahe der Insel Bornholm Sprengsätze an den Gaspipelines "Nord Stream 1" und "Nord Stream 2" platzierte.

Pushing Blocks without Fixed Blocks via Checkable Gizmos: Push-1 is PSPACE-Complete

Pushing Blocks without Fixed Blocks via Checkable Gizmos: Push-1 is PSPACE-Complete
We prove PSPACE-completeness of Push-1: given a rectangular grid of 1 x 1 cells, each possibly occupied by a movable block, can a robot move from a specified location to another, given the ability to push up to one block at a time? In particular, we remove the need for fixed (unmovable) blocks in a previous result (FUN 2022), which seems to require a completely different reduction. This fundamental model of block pushing, introduced in 1999, abstracts the mechanics of many video games. It was s…

The Role of Informal Care in Cognitive Outcome and Healthcare Utilization Among Older Adults with Dementia
This paper examines the relationship between informal caregiving and both cognitive functioning and healthcare utilization among older adults with dementia. Using data from the RAND version of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative longitudinal panel of U.S. adults over age 50, covering the years 2010 to 2022, I estimate Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Instrumental Variables (IV) models to address potential endogeneity in caregiving decisions. The number of children…

CONCERTO: forward modeling of interferograms for calibration
The CarbON [CII] line in post-rEionisation and ReionisaTiOn epoch (CONCERTO) instrument is a low-resolution mapping Fourier-transform spectrometer, based on lumped-element kinetic inductance detector (LEKID) technology, operating at 130- 310 GHz. It was installed on the 12-meter APEX telescope in Chile in April 2021 and operated until December 2022. CONCERTO's main science goal is to constrain the [CII] line fluctuations at high redshift. To reach that goal CONCERTO observed 1.4 deg2 in the COS…

Geometry Matters in Planar Storyplans
A storyplan visualizes a graph $G=(V,E)$ as a sequence of $\ell$ frames $Γ_1, \dots, Γ_\ell$, each of which is a drawing of the induced subgraph $G[V_i]$ of a vertex subset $V_i \subseteq V$. Moreover, each vertex $v \in V$ is contained in a single consecutive sequence of frames $Γ_i, \dots, Γ_j$, all vertices and edges contained in consecutive frames are drawn identically, and the union of all frames is a drawing of $G$. In GD 2022, the concept of planar storyplans was introduced, in which…

Treedepth and 2-treedepth in graphs with no long induced paths

Treedepth and 2-treedepth in graphs with no long induced paths
Huynh, Joret, Micek, Seweryn, and Wollan (Combinatorica, 2022) introduced a graph parameter, later referred to as 2-treedepth and denoted $\mathrm{td}_2(\cdot)$. The parameter is the natural 2-connected version of treedepth. For every graph, 2-treedepth is at most the treedepth but can be much smaller: long paths have arbitrary treedepth but 2-treedepth equal to 2. We prove a converse, showing that every graph $G$ with no induced path on $t$ vertices has treedepth less than $2 \cdot t^{\mathrm{…
