Suspect Identified In Minnesota Lawmakers Shootings: Live Updates
The suspect was identified as Vance Boelter, 57, by law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation into the killing of a state representative and her husband and the attack on a state senator and his wife. He remains at large.

Genndy Tartakovsky's developing a new show 'Heist Safari' that looks pretty great. Loved what he did with Dexter's Lab. This one's about three estranged frog brothers who meet up at their dad's funeral, have to rob a bank to inherit their late dad's fortune, and have issues when they cut side deals with mobsters. Every episode will be executed as just one shot, the events won't be in chronological order, and it'll have an EDM score. Looks & sounds prom…

Welcome to "rowhome"!
As usual, you can count on real estate marketers to signal status shifts.
"Townhome," invented because "rowhouse" felt low-class, now feels low-class itself.
I think they would have done better to just say "rowhouse" and invoke the prestige of historic preservation.

Check out some renderings for Woodley Park’s Wardman Park!! (the former Marriott Wardman) - PoPville
Renderings are courtesy Wardman Park From a press release: "Carmel Partners announced today the start of pre-leasing for Aerie, the first residential tower to open at Wardman Park, a reimagined, 9.5-acre landmark property now home to a resort-style residential oasis. Set atop one of the city’s highest elevations in Woodley Park, Wardman Park is defined

So, it appears that FFOTUS is calling out the organized militia (the national guard) per 10 U.S. Code § 246 under the authority of 10 U.S. Code § 12406
10 U.S. Code § 12406 section 3 requires that deployment "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States"
As far as I know the Governor of California has not issued those orders that the law clearly states must come from him and only him.

Optimal Adjustment Sets for Nonparametric Estimation of Weighted Controlled Direct Effect
The weighted controlled direct effect (WCDE) generalizes the standard controlled direct effect (CDE) by averaging over the mediator distribution, providing a robust estimate when treatment effects vary across mediator levels. This makes the WCDE especially relevant in fairness analysis, where it isolates the direct effect of an exposure on an outcome, independent of mediating pathways. This work establishes three fundamental advances for WCDE in observational studies: First, we establish necess…

So, FFOTUS is deploying national guard, aka the "organized militia" per https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/246
Q1: Which state national guard?
Q2: Does not the law require that a state governor make a formal request before the Federal deployment i…

It can be useful to remember who are these national guard troops. You may be surprised to realize that the majority of our men (and a few of our women) are already subject to Federal control by FFOTUS as commander-in-chief of the militia.
They are defined by our Federal law https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/te…

I just updated the prints on my office door to reflect the kind of photos (particularly event photos) that I am taking now -- as well the the new system which supersedes "three sided cards" that attains better branding in every respect except that it doesn't have a name (yet) #photo #photography

Probing the Turbulent Corona and Heliosphere Using Radio Spectral Imaging Observation during the Solar Conjunction of Crab Nebula
Measuring plasma parameters in the upper solar corona and inner heliosphere is challenging because of the region's weakly emissive nature and inaccessibility for most in situ observations. Radio imaging of broadened and distorted background astronomical radio sources during solar conjunction can provide unique constraints for the coronal material along the line of sight. In this study, we present radio spectral imaging observations of the Crab Nebula (Tau A) from June 9 to June 22, 2024 when it…
