Ukraine And Russia Trade Blame For The Assassination Of Top Separatist Leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko In Eastern Ukraine

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 1 hour ago
*RFE:* *Russia, Ukraine Trade Blame Over Zakharchenko Killing * Ukraine and Russia are trading blame for the killing of a top separatist leader in eastern Ukraine. Aleksandr Zakharchenko, the head of the head of the breakaway separatist entity known as the Donetsk People’s Republic, was killed in an explosion at a cafe in Donetsk on August 31.

McCain, Confederate

*Is Trump's hatred of him all it takes to make progressives forget who he was?* *-by Sam Husseini* The day after John McCain died, I happened to visit a memorial to Confederate prisoners of war at Point Lookout, Maryland. Flying a Confederate flag overhead, the monument seemly ironically features a quote at the base from Maya Angelou. I realized the way I felt about the soldiers commemorated there was decidedly similar how I felt about John McCain the POW in Vietnam: They both fought for a cause that was unjust and ended up enduring real suffering.

Multi-Stellar SETI Candidate Selection (Kaggle Kernels)

Jose Solorzano at Science 2.0 - Physical Sciences - 3 hours ago
Consider the statistical challenges around Dysonian SETI. The standard approach (for searches within the Milky Way) is to find stars that are "outliers", e.g. those that are significantly dimmer than their spectrophotometric characteristics and parallax would suggest. Statistical interpretation of the outliers of a single metric's distribution is not straightforward, however. The normal/gaussian distribution is not normally found in nature. Real-world distributions are often skewed and long-tailed. Outliers (or "black swans") are to be expected. read more

Those who've complained about the BBC using the term 'far-right' to describe everyone taking part in the anti-immigration protests in the German city of Chemnitz - from neo-Nazis to supporters of AfD and Pegida and ordinary people - might still have been surprised at tonight's Radio 4 news bulletin at 10 o'clock as it went even further in its opening headlines: Thousands of German neo-Nazis have protested against immigrants in a city that's seen a wave of racist violence. The protest tonight, apparently some 4,500-strong, was led by AfD and Pegida, who may (arguably) be termed 'f... more »

White Wolf at White Wolf - 7 hours ago
A federal judge in Montana on Thursday issued a court order temporarily blocking the first trophy hunts of Yellowstone-area grizzly bears in more than 40 years, siding with native American groups and environmentalists seeking to restore the animals' protected status. The 14-day restraining order by U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen in Missoula, Montana, came two days before Wyoming and Idaho were scheduled to open licensed grizzly hunts allowing as many as 23 bears in the two states to be shot and killed for sport. Groups opposing the hunts had sought a restraining order while w... more »

Back many years ago, I was the president of a striking local. It almost ended my career. In most districts, there's a nice layer of politeness over everything, and people subscribe to the usual Nice Thoughts. Teachers are super important. We want our district to be the best. We respect our educators. But in strike season, the masks come off. Some people think that teachers are overpaid, self-important jerks who should be grateful they even have a job. And you will know that some people think this because they will call you, at home, to tell you so. They will make an extra effort to... more »

In short, Lithwick advocates turning the Brett Kavanaugh hearing next week into a sexual harassment trial of Alex Kozinski. Lithwick’s theory is that bec... more »

[image: undefined] With regard to American foreign and security policy, President Donald Trump presents a paradox. Aside from some harsh bluster (“fire and fury” directed towards Pyongyang in the lead-up to an unprecedented US-North Korea summit), Trump generally seems to want more peaceful ties with the rest of the world and an end to wasteful and dangerous conflicts. On the other hand, if that is his intention, he’s been unable to make much headway with an establishment that constitutionally is totally under his authority but in practice seems to be almost entirely independent of ... more »
