Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, after her push to prosecute the officers whose alleged actions reportedly led to the death of Freddie Gray, found herself convicted of “fraud” for withdrawing funds from her own Baltimore Deferred Compensation retirement account. In this exclusive interview, Mosby joins Joy Reid in her first one-on-one since her hotly contested trial, after which she now faces up to 40 years in prison.

More coal power plants closings deferred to meet rising demand for electricity in the PJM power grid. If you are in PA, NJ, or MD, your electric car is coal-powered and running it emits more CO2 per mile than a gasoline-powered car.

You could pay higher utility bills under deal to save coal
Under a deal up for approval next month, two power plants in Anne Arundel County would continue to burn coal at least three years longer than planned — potentially costing Marylanders $250 million or more every year.

Parallel performance of shared memory parallel spectral deferred corrections
We investigate parallel performance of parallel spectral deferred corrections, a numerical approach that provides small-scale parallelism for the numerical solution of initial value problems. The scheme is applied to the shallow water equation and uses an IMEX splitting that integrates fast modes implicitly and slow modes explicitly in order to be efficient. We describe parallel $\texttt{OpenMP}$-based implementations of parallel SDC in two well established simulation codes: the finite volume b…

Symphony: Optimized DNN Model Serving using Deferred Batch Scheduling
Having large batch sizes is one of the most critical aspects of increasing the accelerator efficiency and the performance of DNN model inference. However, existing model serving systems cannot achieve adequate batch sizes while meeting latency objectives as these systems eagerly dispatch requests to accelerators to minimize the accelerator idle time. We propose Symphony, a DNN serving system that explores deferred batch scheduling to optimize system efficiency and throughput. Further, unlike ot…

I sat in on FESCo meeting today regarding @…’s proposal on #Valkey
While the particular decision was deferred for a couple of weeks, it was fascinating to see how decision are made in

“William C. Robinson, a pastor working for Chi Alpha Campus Ministries in Corpus Christi, received 10 years probation after sexually abusing an underage family member [for years].”
Probation? Sounds about white… He molested his own relative and the court ordered him to take parenting classes! Unreal.

PASTOR PLEA DEAL: Pastor who sexually abused child for nearly 7 years receives probation
As part of the deal, William C. Robinson was given 10 years deferred adjudication, avoiding jail time.

Cross-post: SEC inquiries may explain Tesla's release of $5.9 billion tax valuation allowance
SEC issued comment letters to Tesla questioning its accounting for a deferred tax valuation allowance. The SEC was on the case one day after an earnings release disclosed billions in unexpected NI.

Improving Efficiency of Parallel Across the Method Spectral Deferred Corrections
Parallel-across-the method time integration can provide small scale parallelism when solving initial value problems. Spectral deferred corrections (SDC) with a diagonal sweeper, which is closely related to iterated Runge-Kutta methods proposed by Van der Houwen and Sommeijer, can use a number of threads equal to the number of quadrature nodes in the underlying collocation method. However, convergence speed, efficiency and stability depends critically on the used coefficients. Previous approache…
