Author Kathy Kleiman chronicles the story of six nearly-forgotten women who programmed the first supercomputer in “Proving Ground.” Enlisted by the Army during World War II to calculate ballistic trajectories, six women mathematicians from across the U.S. were then tasked with programming the ENIAC, the first general-purpose, programmable, electronic computer. While early women programming pioneers Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper have taken their place in the annals of computer history, Kleiman shows us that there were other women programmers — like the ENIAC 6 — who deserve to be recognized as well, says AP reviewer Mae Anderson.

Wade. The bill passed Tuesday, 267-157. Thompson attended the same-sex wedding of his son Friday. Thompson's office says he and his wife are “very happy to welcome their new son-in-law into their family.” Thompson’s press secretary also called the bill “nothing more than an election-year messaging stunt for Democrats in Congress."

A divided federal appeals court panel is backing Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's executive order that forbids school districts from imposing mask mandates on schools to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The ruling Monday from the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ended a lower federal court injunction allowing such mandates. Families of children with disabilities had sued, saying the children were vulnerable and that the lack of a masking requirement endangered their health. Writing for the majority in a 2-1 ruling, Judge Andrew Oldham said there are other reasonable options for schools to accommodate the children's health concerns.

A man who attacked police officers with poles during the U.S. Capitol riot has been sentenced to more than five years in prison. The sentence that U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan gave Mark Ponder on Tuesday matches the longest term of imprisonment so far among hundreds of Capitol riot prosecutions. Ponder, a 56-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., asked the judge for mercy before she sentenced him to five years and three months in prison. That's the same sentence that Chutkan gave Robert Palmer, a Florida man who also pleaded guilty to assaulting police at the Capitol. More than 200 other Capitol riot defendants have been sentenced so far.

When the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established a right to abortion, it sparked legal changes and court challenges in states nationwide. In some states, there are multiple bans and multiple lawsuits in play, keeping the landscape unsettled. And further legislation could soon change things again. The June 24 Dobbs v. Jackson ruling is expected to lead ultimately to bans or deep restrictions on access to abortion in about half the states. Meanwhile, most Democrat-led states have put into place policies intended to protect abortion access.

President Joe Biden wants to convince a skeptical public that the U.S. is not, in fact, heading into a recession. He's sending that message in the leadup to the release of a key report on the economy's overall health. The Commerce Department on Thursday will release new gross domestic product figures. Top forecasts are predicting that the figure will be negative for the second straight quarter — an informal signal that the country is stuck in a downturn. The Biden administration is pre-emptively telling voters not to judge the economy by GDP or inflation alone. Republicans see political chum in the water. They suggest the GDP report will show an economy in collapse.

The first shots of “A Love Song” are a signal for the rest of the film, stubborn flowers and shrubs pushing through dry, stony earth. Max Walker-Silverman’s film is also a spare beauty, delicate but strong and tenacious, exploring time, love and nature. It is about two people in late middle age who wonder if love can spark again. Though it is rated PG, “A Love Song” is very much an adult film, quiet and slow and very, very restrained. It may require the viewer to relearn how to be patient amid all the rival Marvel boom nonsense offerings at the theaters these days.

The U.S. economy is caught in an awkward, painful place. A confusing one, too. Growth appears to be sputtering, home sales are tumbling and economists warn of a potential recession ahead. But consumers keep spending, businesses keep posting profits and the economy keeps adding hundreds of thousands of jobs each month. In the midst of it all, prices have accelerated to four-decade highs, and the Federal Reserve is desperately trying to douse the inflationary flames with higher interest rates. That’s making borrowing more expensive for households and businesses. The Fed hopes to pull off the triple axel of central banking: Slow the economy just enough to curb inflation without causing a recession.
