Where's your county seat? A modern mathematical method for calculating centers of geography
Peter Rogerson, Professor of Geography, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 46 minutes ago
Ten states need to move the markers. Nicolas Henderson, CC BY People have long been intrigued by figuring out the center of the places where we live. You’re probably familiar with the concept of center of population. Imagine placing an equal weight at the residential location of each individual; the center of population would be the single point on a map that balances all those weighted spots. The U.S. Census Bureau, for example, produces a map each decade showing the location of the country’s center, summarizing the geographic distribution of the national population.

The underground complex had been hewed, foot by foot, beneath the floor of a suburban villa, with no visible traces at street level and only a single entrance, hidden behind a kitchen cabinet. But the real surprises lay inside. In one room, police found $20,000 lathes and hydraulic presses for making armor-piercing proje... more »

Between the onset of hostilities in Europe in July 1914 and the U.S. declaration of war in April 1917, a determined group of women activists lobbied the president and Congress to maintain American neutrality and mediate a... more »

Is Trump Preparing To Sell Out U.S. Interests To China-- Or Will He Just Stumble Into It Unprepared?
China's top leadership goes into crucial negotiations with the Trump Regime this week with some very solid advantages, not the least of which are the massive cash bribes they have doled out to Trump and his sleaze bag family.

Icy Trails
As the weather warms I find it increasingly difficult to stay inside. Yes, I wanted to do a little birding but I had no real destination in mind.

Trail conditions were much different since the last time I had been here. Back in February, while there were icy patches there was enough snow to give me the traction I needed. Not so this time.

The Conservative L.A. Times Hits The Bullseye With Today's Trump Editorial
L.A. County is not a Republican-free zone, even though areas of L.A. are. Hillary won the county 1,893,770 (71.4%) to just 620,285 (23.4%) for Trump.

Sunday Morning Links
This and that for your Sunday reading. - Andrew Jackson writes about the opportunities missed when governments restrict their economic policy to propping up the corporate sector, rather than seeking to innovate directly in the public interest: The received wisdom among economists used to be that governments should just set broad “framework” policies such as low taxes, less regulation, and fewer barriers to trade. It was up to the private sector to decide what and where to invest. Anything smacking of hands-on “industrial policy” was to be avoided. Rejecting this dogma, the influent... more »

Reyes' campaign, oddly, tried to paint the progressive O'Rourke as a Republican. He claimed that O'Rourke wanted to "change" Social Security.

Fraud -- Pure And Simple
These days, economic nationalism is the prodigal son of the political right. Tom Walkom writes: An ardent form of nationalism has fuelled the rise of right-wing political leaders, such as Donald Trump in the U.S. and Marine Le Pen in France. Nationalism is driving Britain from the European Union, a move that — whether justified or not — threatens to deal a major blow to the continent’s common market experiment.
