Law enforcement in the northwestern United States have charged a suspect in connection with a deadly shooting at a Canadian school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. On Tuesday, prosecutors charged 30-year-old James Cody Bryant, a resident of Washington state, with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country. The shooting was "a horrific tragedy for that small community and for all of Canada", acting US Attorney Neil Floyd said at a news conference in Seattle. "Indeed, here in the Pacific Northwest, we felt the pain of those families devastated by this violence." Canadian officials have described the attack as one of the country's worst mass shootings. The suspect, 18-year-old transgender woman Jesse Van Rootselaar, shot and killed her mother and half-brother at their home before travelling to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and opening fire .

The event featured a flotilla of vessels, ranging from yachts to jet skis, under clear skies and a law enforcement presence. So in 1962, a Knoxville sportscaster named George Mooney actually did something about it -- he got in a ski boat, rode the Tennessee River to Neyland Stadium, tied off to a tree and walked into the game. Sixty-plus years later, sailgating is its own gameday subculture, with dedicated marinas, waitlists longer than season-ticket lines, and fans who'd rather anchor in a lake than fight for a parking spot. You don't need a stadium sitting directly on the water to pull this off -- plenty of these spots involve a walk from the dock -- but these are the ones where the boat crowd is as much a part of Saturday (or Sunday) as the game itself.

Plus: Trump's EPA aims to exempt data centers from disclosing air pollution. If the desire to limit kids' use of technology was once a subcurrent, it has become a raging flood. Countries around the world are banning children from social media. Schools across the US are ditching iPads and Chromebooks for actual books. Kids themselves seem to be embracing this tech skepticism too: the hottest gadget for Gen Alpha is a vintage Sony Walkman. A surprising--maybe troubling--number of people who work in big tech also keep their kids at arm's distance from technology.

Machine learning (ML) is transforming modeling and control in the physical, engineering, and biological sciences. However, rapid development has outpaced the creation of standardized, objective benchmarks--leading to weak baselines, reporting bias, and inconsistent evaluations across methods. This undermines reproducibility, misguides resource allocation, and obscures scientific progress. To address this, we develop a Common Task Framework (CTF) for scientific machine learning. The CTF features a curated set of datasets and task-specific metrics spanning forecasting, state reconstruction, and generalization under realistic constraints, including noise and limited data. Inspired by the success of CTFs in fields like natural language processing and computer vision, our framework provides a structured, rigorous foundation for head-to-head evaluation of diverse algorithms.
