NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother has been abducted, sheriff suspects The mother of US news anchor Savannah Guthrie has been abducted and didn't go willingly from her home, Arizona law enforcement officials suspect. Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of the NBC News host, was last seen in her house outside Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday evening. Her family reported her missing a day later. When authorities arrived, the scene of Nancy Guthrie's property caused grave concern, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said. He did not provide a possible motive and, while there was no initial indication Nancy Guthrie could have been targeted because of her name, the sheriff said we can't dismiss that. I believe she was abducted, yes, Sheriff Nanos told CBS, the BBC's US partner.

A couple brought military explosive devices into a Los Angeles Police Department station Saturday afternoon in an attempt to dispose of them, spurring officials to temporarily evacuate the Pacoima station and nearby homes. The incident came less than two weeks after an explosion killed three Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives -- the deadliest incident for the Sheriff's Department in more than 150 years. The three agency veterans who were killed were Dets. On Saturday, according to the LAPD, two people came into the Pacoima station at 2:30 p.m. and said they had been cleaning out the home of a family member who recently died when they found what they believed were explosives. The department's bomb squad used a robot to take images of the plastic box the couple had brought, which had "several military ordnances inside."

The modelling of business processes is an important task to support decision-making in complex industrial and corporate domains. Recent years have seen the birth of the BPM! (BPM!) research area, focused on the analysis and control of process execution quality, and in particular, the rise in popularity of process mining [van12], which encompasses a set of techniques to extract valuable information from event logs. Process discovery is one of the most investigated process mining techniques. It deals with the automatic learning of a process model from a given set of logged traces, each one representing the digital footprint of the execution of a case. Process discovery algorithms are usually classified into two categories according to the language they employ to represent the output model: procedural and declarative. Procedural techniques envisage the process model as a synthetic description of all possible sequences of actions that the process accepts from an initial to an ending state. Declarative discovery algorithms--which represent the context of this work--return the model as a set of constraints equipped with a declarative, logic-based semantics, and that must be fulfilled by the traces at hand. Both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the characteristics of the considered process.

"Eddington" is a slog, but a slog with ambitions--and its director and screenwriter, Ari Aster, is savvy enough to cultivate an air of mystery about what those ambitions are. His earlier chillers, "Hereditary" (2018) and "Midsommar" (2019), had their labyrinthine ambiguities, too, but they also had propulsive craft and cunning, plus a resolute commitment to scaring us stupid. Then came the ungainly "Beau Is Afraid" (2023), a cavalcade of Oedipal neuroses both showy and coy, in which Aster didn't seem to lose focus so much as sacrifice it on the altar of auteurism. With "Eddington," his high-minded unravelling continues. No longer a horror wunderkind, Aster, at thirty-nine, yearns to be an impish anatomist of the body politic.

With the rapid development of LLM-based agents, increasing attention has been given to their social interaction and strategic reasoning capabilities. However, existing Werewolf-based benchmarking platforms suffer from overly simplified game settings, incomplete evaluation metrics, and poor scalability. To address these limitations, we propose WereWolf-Plus, a multi-model, multi-dimensional, and multi-method benchmarking platform for evaluating multi-agent strategic reasoning in the Werewolf game. The platform offers strong extensibility, supporting customizable configurations for roles such as Seer, Witch, Hunter, Guard, and Sheriff, along with flexible model assignment and reasoning enhancement strategies for different roles. In addition, we introduce a comprehensive set of quantitative evaluation metrics for all special roles, werewolves, and the sheriff, and enrich the assessment dimensions for agent reasoning ability, cooperation capacity, and social influence. WereWolf-Plus provides a more flexible and reliable environment for advancing research on inference and strategic interaction within multi-agent communities.
