Current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, is the frontrunner to become the next speaker of the House, but he is short on the votes required.
WASHINGTON - Republicans will soon retake the House of Representatives, and their first order of business is picking a new House speaker.
“Right now there are at least that many Republicans who do not want McCarthy to be the speaker,” Catholic University of America Political Science Department Chair Matthew Green said. Unlike many other votes, the vote for House speaker must be done in person. Technically, a speaker can be elected with fewer than 218 votes if members vote “present.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi won the position with 216 votes in 2021.
One change the House Freedom Caucus is asking for is a reversion to the process of removing the speaker that Nancy Pelosi changed.

Interpretable Deep Learning Applied to Rip Current Detection and LocalizationA rip current is a strong, localized current of water which moves along and away from the shore. Recent studies have suggested that drownings due to rip currents are still a major threat to beach safety. Identification of rip currents is important for lifeguards when making decisions on where to designate patrolled areas. The public also require information while deciding where to swim when lifeguards are not on patrol. In the present study we present an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that both identifies whether a rip current exists in images/video, and also localizes where that rip current occurs. While there have been some significant advances in AI for rip current detection and localization, there is a lack of research ensuring that an AI algorithm can generalize well to a diverse range of coastal environments and marine conditions. The present study made use of an interpretable AI method, gradient-weighted class-activation maps (Grad-CAM), which is a novel approach for amorphous rip current detection. The training data/images were diverse and encompass rip currents in a wide variety of environmental settings, ensuring model generalization. An open-access aerial catalogue of rip currents were used for model training. Here, the aerial imagery was also augmented by applying a wide variety of randomized image transformations (e.g., perspective, rotational transforms, and additive noise), which dramatically improves model performance through generalization. To account for diverse environmental settings, a synthetically generated training set, containing fog, shadows, and rain, was also added to the rip current images, thus increased the training dataset approximately 10-fold. Interpretable AI has dramatically improved the accuracy of unbounded rip current detection, which can correctly classify and localize rip currents about 89% of the time when validated on independent videos from surf-cameras at oblique angles. The novelty also lies in the ability to capt
