On August 8, 2020 Melissa Berger and I departed on another of backpacking trips into the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming. The trip is broken into 3 videos. This is part 2 of the trilogy. The video takes us from Cook Lakes, where we spent our first night, across Bald Mountain Basin a spectacular area that sits directly at the base of the west slope of the peaks forming the Continental Divide. We pick up the Continental Divide Trail, the “CDT”, in the afternoon and spend the night at Timico Lake. From Timico we hike to Fall Creek Pass where we cross the Continental Divide to the eastern side and reach Golden Lake where we spend the night.

The graduating class of 2024 has been treated to three very different commencement speeches in recent days. Only one was not self-serving, dishonest and destructive. [...]
The ICC's threat of arrest warrants against Israel's leaders is an affront to democracy and humanity. [...]
President Biden waxed poetic about race in America during a commencement address Sunday at Morehouse College, an HBCU in Georgia: [...]
The Democratic playbook is to reassure our victimhood status, not overcome it. [...]
It seems hard to believe, but there was a time when we Americans could go days, or even weeks, without hearing about Donald Trump. That ended nearly a decade ago, when Trump decided he wanted to be president. Now, he is a constant presence on the evening news and in the morning newspaper. He ensures it by manufacturing turmoil, threats and constant controversy. [...]
While Democrats and Republicans converge on perceptions of climate change, there is still no clear consensus for Biden's policies [...]
A new survey of key swing states shows how it could be done, but-granting its necessity-it sure sounds difficult. [...]
When will the media start asking democrats if they will accept the outcome of the 2024 election if Trump wins? [...]
The upside-down flag at Samuel Alito's house after the Capitol attack reveals how disgraceful our supreme court has become [...]
It would be unethical for Alito to recuse because the Code of Conduct says a justice 'has an obligation to sit unless disqualified.' [...]
Another day, another no-confidence vote for a university president. [...]
The prognosis seems grim, but I found signs of life as a proud father at Notre Dame's commencement. [...]
Plus, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and others gave $1 billion to the university in foreign gifts (2007-2022) [...]
It's not the poll numbers that worry me, exactly. It's the denial of what's behind them. [...]
Iranians gathered on Tuesday to mourn at the funerary procession of president Ebrahim Raisi in the northwestern city of Tabriz, the capital of East Azerbaijan province where he died unexpectedly in a helicopter crash.The helicopter lost communication while it was on its way back to Tabriz after Raisi attended a joint inauguration of a dam with his Azeri counterpart, Ilham Aliyev, on their common border.

Amal Clooney helped the International Criminal Court weigh evidence that led to the decision to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli and Hamas leaders, the human rights lawyer said Monday.The high-profile British-Lebanese barrister posted a statement on the website of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which she founded with her husband, American actor George Clooney. Both she and the foundation had previously been criticized on social media for not speaking out over the civilian death toll in Gaza. [...]
The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on Monday applied for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top Hamas leaders on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity.Netanyahu rejected the landmark request "with disgust", while Foreign Minister Israel Katz slammed it as "a historical disgrace that will be remembered forever."The United States also firmly criticised the prosecutor's move. [...]
The United States said Monday that arch-enemy Iran sought assistance over a helicopter crash that killed president Ebrahim Raisi, as Washington meanwhile offered condolences despite saying he had "blood on his hands."The State Department said Iran, which has had no diplomatic relations with Washington since the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution, reached out afer Raisi's aging chopper crashed in foggy weather Sunday."We were asked by the Iranian government for assistance," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, whose arrest warrant was sought at the International Criminal Court on Monday, was long a staunch ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but has become a vocal critic.While the former general remains grimly committed to destroying Hamas over its October 7 attack, he has clashed with Netanyahu on the issue of Gaza's post-war governance. [...]
US President Joe Biden denied Monday that Israel's war in Gaza was genocide, as he slammed an "outrageous" request by the International Criminal Court's prosecutor for an arrest warrant for Israeli leaders."What's happening is not genocide," Biden told a Jewish American Heritage Month event at the White House as he discussed the conflict sparked by Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel.

Syrians in Damascus voiced concern Monday at the impact on their country of the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, as some in Syria's last main opposition bastion were celebrating.Tehran has been a key ally for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and housewife Hazar Mazhar said "everybody is talking about the news, but I don't know if what happened will impact us, or what the coming days will bring.""I'm afraid of the impact on the economy... I hope this incident doesn't affect our livelihoods," the 49-year-old said. [...]
Israel's hawkish right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is treading increasingly thin ice after the International Criminal Court's prosecutor on Monday sought an arrest warrant for him over "war crimes" in Gaza.The silver-haired 73-year-old, known by his nickname "Bibi", has dominated his country's politics for decades but now faces mounting isolation both at home and abroad over his handling of the war against Hamas in Gaza.

By and large, particle physicists confronted with the need to awe and enthuse an audience of laypersons will have no hesitation in choosing to speak about the Higgs boson and its mysteries - undoubtedly a fascinating story that requires one to start with the 1960ies and the intuition of a handful of theoretical physicists, and then grows epic in a crescendo of colliders that sought and missed the Higgs boson, and then the LHC which finally found the elusive signal of production and decay of that particle.read more [...]
Most people who try a diet don't succeed in keeping weight off long-term and that is trumpeted as a huge failure of dieting by people who, wait for it, are often selling a competing diet.The health truth is that even if you fail, you improved your health.

To bolster declining electric car sales, President Biden told EPA to create a new emissions standard.

If the government promises every home a great gardener, most people recognize they won't get a great gardener at all, they will probably get someone who couldn't get a better job while the lawn service they used to use is priced out of reach.There has always been disparity in health care, but that was aggravated when President Franklin Roosevelt instituted wage caps during World War II.

The Tennessee Valley Authority couldn't be done today. When it was done, it transformed an area mired in poverty. With affordable electricity, they had water. With water, they could farm. With farming, food became affordable. In a generation, the area was transformed and soon had libraries, schools, and much better quality of life.Environmentalists need to be needed, it is how they feed their $3 billion-per-year appetite, and so TVA could never happen today. Environmental lawyers are so obstructionist and culturally corrosive, TVA can't even replace a coal plant without a lawsuit.A coal plant.

After Chris Wild took over the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a UN-funded body in France that looks for statistical links between food/chemicals and cancer, they made a switch in their policies regarding participation; an epidemiologist who had ever consulted for industry could no longer vote on what to label a carcinogen.Even though it was hypocritical - epidemiologists working for trial lawyers or environmental groups were recruited - few inside IARC objected. Nor did anyone think they might. Environmental groups have manufactured an ethical halo so well that even their lawyers look like better people than other lawyers. [...]

Here, it is about creating a welcoming and safe environment for all qualified researchers from across the globe.read more [...]

As announced a few years ago and stated every few months in preparation, EPA has created a timeline for a ban of non-industrial uses of methylene chloride. It was used in the past as a paint stripper but could also be found in things like automotive cleaners and various other consumer products.

If you used it to strip a bathtub in a closed room, well, you need to learn to read. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has long had [...]

A year ago, corporate media promoted the provocative claim that dinosaurs like Tyrannorsaurus rex had so many neurons they had to be substantially more intelligent than assumed, since these high neuron counts could directly inform on intelligence, metabolism and life history.They even added that T. rex was monkey-like in some of its habits and may even have used cultural transmission of knowledge as tools.

Other scientists were instead baffled that it got by peer-review.read more [...]
