Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia News and Research
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is also known as chronic myelogenous leukemia. According to the American Cancer Society, CML is a type of cancer that starts in blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and then invades the blood. It can spread to the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and other parts of the body. CML can also change into a fast-growing acute leukemia that invades almost any organ in the body.

Biographical Information[edit]
Catcher Gary Allenson was selected in the ninth round of the 1976 amateur draft, having helped Team USA to a Silver Medal in the 1975 Pan American Games. He was the International League MVP in 1978, when he hit .299 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI with the Pawtucket Red Sox. He played parts of seven seasons in the majors, primarily with the Red Sox, but was never able to fill the void left by Carlton Fisk when he departed for the Chicago White Sox in free agency. He became a spare catcher after a rough 1982 season, and finished his career up North with Toronto in 1985. In 1989, Allenson played for the Winter Haven Super Sox of the Senior Professional Baseball Association. He hit .340 in 43 games with the club. In 1990, he was with the Sun City Rays for the circuit's second season. He batted .313 in 10 games before the league folded.
Since his playing career ended, Allenson has been a major league coach and minor league manager. He managed the AA New Britain Red Sox in 1991 and was a Red Sox coach from 1992 to 1994 and a member of the Milwaukee Brewers staff from 2000 to 2002. After that, he managed the Bluefield Orioles in 2006 and the Norfolk Tides from 2007 to 2010.
On June 4, 2010, Allenson was brought up to Baltimore Orioles as a result of the firing of manager Dave Trembley. He took over for Juan Samuel as third base coach, while Samuel became the team's interim manager. He returned to Norfolk for 2011 and skippered the Aberdeen IronBirds before flying the Orioles coop to manage in the Toronto Blue Jays chain. From 2013 to 2017, he alternated managing their Double A affiliate, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and their Triple A outfit, the Buffalo Bisons.

Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream — how to watch Premier League 21/22 game online
By James Archer , Marc McLaren published 14 August 21
Here's how to watch the Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream online, wherever you are
(Image credit: Nigel French - Pool/Getty Images / Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images)
The Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream will continue this new Premier League season, following the opening Brentford vs Arsenal match a day prior.
With kick-off on Saturday (August 14), both Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion will want a strong start to their campaigns after respectively finishing the 20/21 season only one and two places clear of the relegation zone.
Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream, date, time, channels
The Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion live stream takes place today (Saturday, August 14).
► Time (3 p.m. BST / 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT)
• U.S. — Watch on Peacock (requires Premium or Premium Plus subscription)
• Watch anywhere — try ExpressVPN 100% risk free
Burnley's survival in the top flight came despite a string of injuries to a squad that was already low on numbers. The recent signing of defender Nathan Collins will therefore be a welcome reinforcement — he's on the bench today — and the relative lack of Burnley players involved in international tournaments will mean Sean Dyche's men can play with fresh legs.
Likewise for Brighton & Hove Albion, who are still looking to invest their £50 million windfall from the sale of defender Ben White to Arsenal. A striker would address the Seagulls' lack of teeth in attack, though obviously wouldn't be ready for Saturday's match. Still, Brighton have defeated Burnley in their previous four meetings, so there are reasons for the former to be confident. They hand a debut to Zambia midfielder Enock Mwepu.
Here's how they line up:
Burnley: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Rodriguez, Wood.
Brighton: Sanchez; Duffy, Dunk, Webster; Mwepu, Bissouma, Alzate, March; Gross, Trossard; Maupay.

The Humble Urchin
Skomer Marine Conservation
By Kate Lock
Each month our teams write a blog about the special places they look after. Here, Kate Lock, Marine environmental assessment officer, talks about the humble urchin and why it is so important.
It is spherical in shape and blue, pink or purple in colour. It has an outer layer of skeletal plates that join together to form a shell arranged in five rays. The shell is covered in hundreds of sharp mobile spines and along each ray are rows of hydraulic tube feet each ending in a sucker disc. It also has a complex dental apparatus which operates five jaws that project from the mouth.
One could be easily mistaken to believe that an alien species has just landed from space, however this is simply describing the 'Common Sea urchin' Echinus esculentus found all around the British Coast.
Super grazers
Sea urchins are the 'rabbits' of the marine world - feeding on seaweeds and encrusting animals, efficiently hoovering the rock surface bare.
By efficiently vacuuming rock surfaces bare they make space for larvae of different species to settle on the rock and, as a result, help boost diversity in the marine environment.
Marine curios collection triggers voluntary marine reserve
Sea urchins were collected from Pembrokeshire during the 1960's and 70's as diving became popular. The animal was removed from the shell, bleached and dried to keep or sell as a souvenir.
Sites around Skomer Island were heavily targeted, and concerns grew about the ecological effects of the apparent over collection. This triggered the first suggestions that there was a need to conserve the marine area surrounding the island, and by 1971 a marine reserve was proposed by a group of naturalists and biologists from the Field Studies Council.
Between 1979 to 1982 urchin surveys were carried out by the Underwater Conservation Society (now the Marine Conservation Society) at a small number of Skomer sites to determine its densities.
The results showed that the numbers were similar to commercially exploited populations in Devon, and lower than those from other non-exploited areas around the UK. Luckily collecting of marine curios in the UK stopped in the early 1980's.
Volunteer diver urchin surveys
The first urchin survey (since the designation of the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone) was completed in 2003.
Fixed survey sites were established with a range of habitats and depths along the north and south coasts of the island and the north coast of the mainland.
We continue to carry out this survey every four years with a team of volunteer divers. The efforts of the volunteer diving teams are incredibly valuable because we can survey a vast area over 2 weekends. Gathering data about urchin distribution, abundance and size.
In June this year 40 volunteer divers covered 8400m2 and measured 949 urchins. This valuable data will be entered and analysed in the winter and compared to previous survey results.
Long-term monitoring provides evidence on state of the natural environment
The Skomer MCZ is home to the most comprehensive marine species and community monitoring programme in the UK.
Concerns about the humble urchin kick started marine protection around Skomer Island, and 48 years later the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) can boast to be one of the most intensively studied marine area in the UK.
The urchin survey is just one of a programme of marine monitoring projects undertaken at Skomer MCZ. We also monitor the weather and water conditions like sea temperature, which influence the wildlife of the site. Our biological programme gathers evidence and information on life on the shores and underwater allowing us to report on the health of the marine environment.
The Skomer MCZ team produce a Monitoring project status report annually with detailed results of all the monitoring projects completed - https://cdn.naturalresources.wales/media/688024/eng-report-251-skomer-mcz-project-status-report-2017-18.pdf
Find out more about the area and how you can visit on our website, you can also follow Kate and the team on Facebook.

2POSIX spawn functions
Spawn (computing)
Function that loads and executes a new child process
Spawn in computing refers to a function that loads and executes a new child process. The current process may wait for the child to terminate or may continue to execute concurrent computing. Creating a new subprocess requires enough memory in which both the child process and the current program can execute.
There is a family of spawn functions in DOS, inherited by Microsoft Windows.
There is also a different family of spawn functions in an optional extension of the POSIX standards .[1]
DOS/Windows spawn functions[edit]
The DOS/Windows spawn functions are inspired by Unix functions fork and exec; however, as these operating systems do not support fork,[2] the spawn function was supplied as a replacement for the fork-exec combination. However, the spawn function, although it deals adequately with the most common use cases, lacks the full power of fork-exec, since after fork any process settings which will survive an exec may be changed. However, in most cases, this deficiency can be made up for by using the more low-level CreateProcess API.
In the spawnl, spawnlp, spawnv, and spawnvp calls, the child process inherits the environment of the parent. Files that are open when a spawn call is made remain open in the child process.
Prototype[edit]
int spawnl(int mode, char *path, char *arg0, ...);
int spawnle(int mode, char *path, char *arg0, ..., char ** envp);
int spawnlp(int mode, char *path, char *arg0, ...);
int spawnlpe(int mode, char *path, char *arg0, ..., char ** envp);
int spawnv(int mode, char *path, char **argv);
int spawnve(int mode, char *path, char **argv, char ** envp);
int spawnvp(int mode, char *path, char **argv);
int spawnvpe(int mode, char *path, char **argv, char ** envp);
Function names[edit]
The base name of each function is spawn, followed by one or more letters:
l Command line arguments are passed individually to the function.
v Command line arguments are passed to the function as an array of pointers.
p Uses the PATH argument variable to find the file to be executed.
e An array of pointers to environment arguments is explicitly passed to the child process.
Mode[edit]
The mode argument determines the way the child is run. Values for mode are:
P_OVERLAY Overlays parent process with child, which destroys the parent. This has the same effect as the exec* functions.
P_WAIT Suspends parent process until the child process has finished executing (synchronous spawn).
P_NOWAIT, P_NOWAITO Continues to execute calling process concurrently with new process (asynchronous spawn).
P_DETACH the child is run in background without access to the console or keyboard. Calls to _cwait upon the new process will fail (asynchronous spawn)
Path[edit]
The path argument specifies the filename of the program to execute. For spawnlp and spawnvp only, if the filename does not have a path and is not in the current directory, the PATH environment variable determines which directories to search for the file. The string pointed to by argv[0] is the name of the program to run.
The command line passed to the spawned program is made up of the character strings, arg0 through argn, in the spawn call. The accepted maximum combined length of these strings differs between compilers, ranging from 128 characters on Digital Mars[3] to 1024 on Microsoft Visual C++[4] or as much as memory permits, on DJGPP.[5] The last argument after argn has to be a NULL pointer.
argv[edit]
The argv argument is an array of character pointers. The last pointer in the array must be null to indicate the end of the list.
envp[edit]
The spawnle, spawnlpe, spawnve, and spawnvpe calls allow the user to alter the child process's environment by passing a list of environment settings in the envp argument. This argument is an array of character pointers; each pointer (except for the last one) points to a null-terminated string defining an environment variable. An environment variable has the form:
name=value
where name is the variable name and value is its value. The last pointer in the array is null. When the envp argument is null, the child inherits the parent's environment settings.
Under Microsoft Windows, the spawn* functions use LoadModule to run the spawned process; and if this fails, an attempt is made to spawn a normal MS-DOS process. If a Windows application is spawned, the instance handle can be obtained using exec_instancehandleget. It is possible to specify how the spawned program will be shown using the functions _exec_showset, _exec_showget, and _exec_showreset.
Return values[edit]
The return value indicates the exit status of the spawned program. A value of zero indicates that the spawned program executed successfully. A positive value indicates that the spawned program executed, but was aborted or ended in error, the value returned is the exit status of the child process. A negative value indicates that the spawned program did not execute, and errno is set. Under Microsoft Windows, spawn returns the negated error code returned from LoadModule for compatibility with the C run-time library. The following error codes may be encountered:
-2 File not found
-3 Path not found
-11 Invalid .exe file (for Windows)
-13 DOS 4. 0 application
-14 Unknown .exe type (may be DOS extended)
POSIX spawn functions[edit]
The posix_spawn(3p) and its sibling posix_spawnp can be used as replacements for fork and exec, but does not provide the same flexibility as using fork and exec separately. They may be efficient replacements for fork and exec, but their purpose is to provide process creation primitives in embedded environments where fork is not supported due to lack of dynamic address translation.
The spawn metaphor, i.e., to produce offspring as in egg deposition, had its early use in the VMS, now OpenVMS, operating system (1977). In academia, there existed a lively debate between proponents of the Unix fork (crude copy of memory layout, but fast) versus VMS's spawn (reliable construction of process parameters, but slower). This debate revived when the VMS spawning mechanism was inherited by Windows NT (1993).

Fans shocked by MasterChef star's real age
by Bianca Mastroianni
23rd Dec 2020 10:28 AM
MasterChef's Poh Ling Yeow's huge fanbase are often commenting on her youthfulness.
However, they were still stunned to discover the chef is 47-years-old, noting that she looks at least ten years younger.
On Tuesday, Poh uploaded a gorgeous selfie to Instagram to celebrate her birthday.
"47 last Friday. Celebrated with popiah, Mee Siam and ice kachang at the folks' place. Quiet and small the way I like it," she wrote alongside the photo.
Fans are stunned with Poh's age as she celebrates her birthday.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with compliments and praise.
"Poh you ageless beauty! Happy birthday! X" one fan wrote.
"No way! If you said 27, I would've believed you!"
"Wow! I thought you were at least 10 years younger than that!" said another.
"As IF you are 47?!" another wrote along with a shocked-face emoji.
"You can still pass as a teenager. Sunny outlook, kind and happy face," another added.
"Sorry I think you had a typo; you mean 37 right?!"
"There's no way you're 47?!?!"
"You are so eternally youthful Poh."
"47 seems to agree with you. Happy birthday."
The star's birthday comes after she sat down for a candid interview for Stan Grant's One Plus One on Monday night.
Poh spoke about her heritage with journalist Stan Grant. Picture: ABC.
In the interview, she discussed in length her relationship with her heritage and self-identity.
"I've never really identified with being female or Asian or anything. I really just want to do interesting things," Poh revealed.
"I think being in the media, it's something I really fought hard to break down... people will think that they like you and they're very quick to decide why without really digging deep."
Poh said that she once felt "cultural guilt", but she's now happy and proud to be an immigrant.
"I'm really comfortable with that now, being a product of what my parents have done, they bought me here, I'm a migrant, I love a lot of my [Chinese Malaysian] culture but I don't feel an impulse to identify hugely with it," she said.
"For me, it's all about moving forward and about creativity and absorbing what's around me."

Armenia's Ruling Party Wins in Most of Local Government Elections
Aliyev's Remarks Are Threat to Armenia's Territorial Integrity
YEREVAN — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's Civil Contract Party has won local government elections in most of 36 communities in Sunday's polls.
According to the preliminary data of the Central Election Commission, the Civil Contract has won in 25 communities including Echmiadzin, Spitak and Jermuk, but has lost the polls in several major towns.
In Masis the election has been won by a bloc headed by incumbent mayor David Hambardzumian, who is a defendant in a criminal case.
The election in the town of Abovyan was won by a former MP Eduard Babayan from Prosperous Armenia party. Babayan was sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison in 2019, but was released under an amnesty.
In Armenia's third largest town of Vanadzor, the bloc led by former mayor Mamikon Aslanyan has won 38.6 percent of the vote, which, however, means that Aslanyan can be reelected mayor only with a support of another party. In previous elections, Mamikon Aslanyan headed the list of the former ruling Republican Party of Armenia.
The Civic Contract Party, whose list was headed by Lori Regional Governor Aram Khachatryan, got 24.7% of the votes.
According to the Central Election Commission, the turnout was 42.48%. The most active were the voters in Tumanyan community of Lori region, where the turnout was 69.78%. The lowest turnout was in the city of Armavir of Armavir region, where 20.73% of voters went to the polling stations.
The residents of Tsovagyukh and Semenovka villages of Gegharkunik region boycotted the local elections. As local leaders told the media, the villagers thereby expressed their protest against the merger of their communities.
Prime Minister Pashinyan praised the quality of the elections in a Facebook post, saying that the latest elections were free and fair and that this is more important than their results. He also said that his administration's top priorities are currently "connected with external challenges" facing Armenia.
"I know and understand the view that it would have been better for us to have rigged elections but a higher degree of [national] security," the prime minister wrote on Facebook. "But I remain convinced that it is the long-running practice of vote rigging that eroded the system of state resilience formed in the 1990s and … led to security disasters."

Dashkevich alone in Hrodna jail ward
18.11.2012 Апублікавана ў News
According to his fiancee Nasta Palazhanka, Zmitser Dashkevich has met with his defence lawyer. "Being kept alone in the ward he has no complaints," she said.
There is no radio outlet in his ward but it can be installed. "In accorgance with maximum security confinement conditions Dashkevich is allowed to receive only one two-kilogram parcel per year; thus, he has to eat prison meals. In a prison shop he can buy something else but at that, he should not exceed the amount of Blr 100.000 (appr. $12) per month," Palazhanka said.
Zmitser Dashkevich and another activist of the Young Front Eduard Lobau were detained on December 18, 2010. Opposition activists and human rights defenders consider this detention as part of police preventive action performed before the 2010 presidential election. Dashkevich and Lobau were adjudged guilty of especially malignant hooliganism (Article 339, part 3 of the Criminal Code). Opposition activists and human rights defenders consider this detention as part of police preventive action performed before the 2010 presidential election. On March 24, 2011 Zmitser Dashkevich was sentenced to two years of imprisonment in a general regime penal colony. International human rights organisations recognised him a political prisoner.
In September, 2011 the activist was offered to file a petition for pardon addressed to Aliaksandr Lukashenka but he rejected this proposal.
He started serving his term in Horki penal colony (Mahiliou region) but later he was moved to Hlybokaye (Vitsebsk region). Dashkevich was to go at liberty in December, 2012 but on August 28 Hlybokaye district court in camera acknowledged Dashkevich guilty of"gross disobedience to orders of correctional institution administration". Four months which Dashkevich was to serve under the first sentence has been included in the new one. Thus, now Zmitser Dashkevich is expected to be released on August 28, 2012.
After the sentence he was transitted to Mazyr penal colony. On October 20, 2012 Mazyr court took the decision to transfer him to a closed-type prison for "gross disobedience to orders". According to Palazhanka, as after his arrival at Mazyr colony he was put to a punishment cell and later – to a ward-type room, the political prisoner can't be "a flagrant violator." Another prisoner of conscience, Mikalai Autukhovich, is also serving his term in Hrodna prison No 1.

Let Love Lead You 3:42
City of Light is the first track on the Bring Your Healing Love EP. It's a reggae tune that I've played a lot at Nightshift, a ministry in my city that serves a nightly meal to people in need. The theme of the song is taken from the book of Revelation, which describes heaven as a shining city: "The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp."
We can experience some the blessings of heaven now – unity among people of all backgrounds, peace, inclusiveness, helping and sharing with one another and celebration. Seeing a picture of heaven makes us long for the "full meal deal" and it should also make us pray for and work towards bringing heaven now,
JKA Smith, in his book, You are What You Love, describes well this concept: "Christian worship should tell a story that makes us want to set sail for the immense sea that is the Triune God, birthing in us a longing for "a better country—a heavenly one" that is kingdom come (Heb. 11: 16). The biblical vision of shalom—of a world where the Lamb is our light, where swords are beaten into ploughshares, where abundance is enjoyed by all, where people from every tribe and tongue and nation sing the same song of praise, where justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like an everlasting stream."

New initiative from Network Rail aims to increase gender diversity in the rail industry
Network Rail, Britain's rail network operator, has launched a campaign to increase the number of women working in the rail industry.
The company said last week that it has set a target of increasing its female workforce to 20% by 2020, pointing out that encouraging greater diversity makes good business sense.
Network Rail is working directly with schools to encourage more young people, women in particular, to consider STEM subjects and to inspire them about the different types of careers available in engineering and the wider railway industry.
A new engagement programme, 'People Like Me', shows how different personalities contribute in different roles, helping students to identify a role that genuinely appeals to them.
Miriam MacLennan, route asset manager at Network Rail, explained: "Society has an old-fashioned bias towards engineers being men in top hats or operating heavy construction machinery, however, civil engineering is so much more! We are the custodians of balancing natural resources and human demand. To do this well we need a better mix of people working as engineers who are skilled in, for example, communication, the art of persuasion or the desire to investigate and explore the realms of the unknown.
"The railway is growing at a spectacular rate and Network Rail is going to need many more engineers to shape and deliver its Railway Upgrade Plan. Great engineering relies enormously on creative thinking, a desire to collaborate and a thorough understanding of the problems. Diverse teams are essential in these situations."
Rajinder Pryor, engagement lead for the digital railway – an industry plan to accelerate the digital modernisation of the railway – added: "Exploring digital railway technology to meet the capacity and performance challenge will require more than traditional engineering expertise. With opportunities like the digital railway, now is a really exciting time to be considering a career in the railway so I hope we can continue to attract and incentivise future talent, including encouraging more women into the rail industry."
Throughout March and April, Network Rail staff will be visiting schools across the country to deliver educational sessions on careers in the STEM sector.

By BOBBY BANCROFT
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) Rookie running back Jaret Patterson did a little bit of everything and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter in Washington's 17-13 preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night.
Patterson, an undrafted free agent from Buffalo, ran for 71 yards, caught three passes for 25 yards and had a 37-yard kickoff return. His 1-yard scoring plunge was Washington's only touchdown. Dustin Hopkins had three field goals for Washington (1-1).
Patterson, who is listed at 5-foot-9, insists that he uses his smaller stature as a positive as he fights to make the roster.
"I feel like my size is an advantage," Patterson said. "I can hide behind the big offensive linemen. Just hiding behind those guys and having a low center of gravity. ... I want to keep improving and show that I belong here."
Coach Ron Rivera gave Patterson time early and often and liked what he saw.
"He's an explosive, dynamic young back," Rivera said.
"We gave him some opportunities with the first bunch and he did a nice job with that and then when the second bunch was in there he really showed his ability."
Cincinnati (1-1) held out quarterback Joe Burrow for the second week in a row and the offense struggled. Burrow, the first selection in the 2020 draft, started 10 games last season before a season-ending left knee injury at Washington in Week 11.
Brandon Allen started in his place and played through the first drive of the second half, finishing 8 of 17 for 70 yards. The Bengals were 0 for 6 on third downs in the first half and finished 4 of 13.
Ryan Fitzpatrick played the first four series for Washington before making way for Taylor Heinicke. Fitzpatrick was 7 of 13 for 96 yards with most of that coming on two big plays. The veteran connected with Logan Thomas on the first play of the game for 28 yards and found rookie Dyami Brown for a 29-yarder just before the end of the first quarter. Brown's catch set up Hopkins' 34-yard field goal. It was the first points for Washington's first-team offense through two preseason games. Heinicke finished 11 of 13 for 80 yards, and Kyle Allen wrapped up for Washington.
Allen capped off an eight-play, 64-yard drive with a 1-yard run to give Cincinnati (1-1) a 10-6 lead just after halftime. Washington looked as it recovered a fumble on the 1 but safety Darrick Forrest was called for unnecessary roughness hit when he knocked the ball loose on Allen's 19-yard completion to Trenton Irwin. The Bengals kept possession and scored on the next play.
Kyle Shurmur and Eric Dungey both got second-half time under center for the Bengals.
Bengals kicker Evan McPherson connected from 37 and 50 yards.
NO JOE?
Bengals coach Zac Taylor was non-committal on Burrow's status for Cincinnati's final preseason game.
DROPPED BALLS
Cincinnati rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase - the fifth pick in the draft from LSU - dropped a third-down pass on each of the Bengals' first three drives. His drops on the second and third possessions would have resulted in first downs for an offense that mustered a total of two in the first half. He finished without a catch.
Hopkins went 3 for 3 the week after going 0 for 2 in a loss to New England. Hopkins, Washington's kicker since 2015, made a career-low 79 % (27 for 34) of his field goals in 2020.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR
Heinicke, undrafted like Patterson, said he thinks he knows what the rookie is going through this preseason.
"Ever since high school I was told I was too short, too slow and didn't have a strong enough arm," said Heinicke, who was a star at Old Dominion before bouncing around the NFL. "I'm sure he's heard the same thing."
Bengals rookie DE Cam Sample left the game with a right shoulder injury but Taylor said the injury was relatively minor.
Bengals: Cincinnati finishes the preseason Aug. 29 against the Miami Dolphins.
Washington: Hosts the Baltimore Ravens Aug. 28 in their preseason finale.

Plethoral of Dining Options in Walker's Point
Published September 24, 2014 at 10:08 AM CDT
Over the summer many new restaurants have opened up around town. And if there is any area where that trend is especially concentrated, it is south of downtown.
Bay View is already a hot area for dining and nightlife, but between downtown and Bay View is Walker's Point, which has seen fits and starts as it has come into its own, and transitioned away from a predominantly bar-focused area to a more dining-based, residential part of town.
The changes haven't happened overnight, but the number of restaurants opening up has caught some by surprise, including Lake Effect's Dan Harmon and dining contributor Ann Christenson.
Restaurants mentioned include Engine Company No. 3, Morel Restaurant and Movida.

Conn Hastings Cardiac Surgery, Cardiology, Materials, Pathology
Researchers at University of California San Diego have developed a tiny 'pop-up' sensor that can measure the electronic signals propagating inside cardiac cells. The technology consists of tiny spike-like protrusions that can penetrate cell membranes without causing damage, and which can detect electrical signals within individual cells and between cells in 3D tissue samples. The device could provide new insights into cardiac diseases, including myocardial infarction and arrhythmias.
Cardiac tissue is intrinsically dependent on electrical activity for correct function, and measuring this accurately on a single cell level and intercellularly could provide a wealth of information about the basis for numerous cardiac diseases. However, inserting tiny electrodes into individual cells is difficult and can cause damage. This newest technology aims to provide a less invasive way to achieve this.
"Studying how an electrical signal propagates between different cells is important to understand the mechanism of cell function and disease," said Yue Gu, one of the scientists that led the development of the new sensor. "Irregularities in this signal can be a sign of arrhythmia, for example. If the signal cannot propagate correctly from one part of the heart to another, then some part of the heart cannot receive the signal so it cannot contract."
Illustration of the device interfacing with heart cells (top). The sensors can monitor electrical signals in multiple single cells at once (bottom left) and at two sites in one cell (bottom right). Image adapted from Nature Nanotechnology
The basis of the device is an array of tiny field effect transistors that the researchers have coated with a phospholipid bilayer. This coating allows them to penetrate inside the cell without eliciting a foreign body response, which would hamper long-term measurements of electrical activity. The tiny probes are sensitive enough to measure electrical signals within one cell but they can also track signals that travel through several cells.
The device features a 'pop-up' structure, as the researchers bonded the transistors onto a pre-stretched elastomer sheet, and when they released the tension the transistors erected to form a 3D structure. "It's like a pop-up book," said Gu. "It starts out as a 2D structure, and with compressive force it pops up at some portions and becomes a 3D structure."
So far, the UCSD team tested the technology on cardiac cell cultures in the lab, and have already gained some insights into the speed at which signals propagate through individual cells and groups of cells. However, the device may also have potential in researching neurological diseases, and could allow researchers to study the electrical impulses within neurons.

I've worked in a few styles of office spaces, but my preference is a private office. I haven't actually had one, but I have had officemates who spent a lot of time in other locations, so it was almost private. Noise can be really distracting to me, so I'm often using earbuds. I should look into getting some noise-cancelling headphones at some point.
I like a bright environment whether it's naturally or artificially lit. I prefer windows with thin pulldown blinds that could be used to block direct sunlight.
I like a big flat desk, maybe 5 feet wide and 2.5 feet deep. I don't like a central drawer or a keyboard tray since I always hit my knees on them. A good office chair with plenty of adjustment is essential. I haven't tried a standing desk before.
I prefer to eat in a breakroom with others for the social aspect. I've tried working from home before, but I find it too isolating. I'm an introvert, but I need some social interaction. It's best when it's routine or scheduled in advance.
In general, I like a very clean, minimalist office or workspace. I really get bothered by cluttered desks or workbenches. My workplace is considering starting a 5S program, and it could really help by ensuring that there are good work spaces and that tools are kept in their designated locations.

Once they started curating posts, monetizing things, and allowing groups to form, it really went downhill. This is apart from any privacy issues.
It would be nice to have a Facebook clone that's fairly minimalist and a good way to stay in touch with distant relatives and friends. Even then, I'm not sure I'd join. If Facebook died I'd be conflicted as to whether it's a good or bad thing.

It's mostly complaints about Google, but eventually there is a good point:
Truly secure systems do not require you to trust the service provider. This is the point of end-to-end encryption. But we have to trust that Moxie is running the server software he says he is. We have to trust that he isn't writing down a list of people we've talked to, when, and how often. We have to trust not only that Moxie is trustworthy, but given that Open Whisper Systems is based in San Francisco we have to trust that he hasn't received a national security letter, too (by the way, Signal doesn't have a warrant canary). Moxie can tell us he doesn't store these things, but he could. Truly secure systems don't require trust.
There are a couple of ways to solve this problem, which can be used in tandem. We can stop Signal from knowing when we're talking to each other by using peer-to-peer chats. This has some significant drawbacks, namely that both users have to be online at the same time for their messages to be delivered to each other. You can still fall back to peer-to-server-to-peer when one peer is offline, however. But this isn't the most important of the two solutions.
The most important change is federation. Federated services are like email, in that Alice can send an email from gmail.com to Bob's yahoo.com address. I should be able to stand up a Signal server, on my own hardware where I am in control of the logs, and communicate freely with other Signal servers, including Open Whisper's servers. This distributes the security risks across hundreds of operators in many countries with various data extradition laws. This turns what would today be easy for the United States government to break and makes it much, much more difficult. Federation would also open the possibility for bridging the gap with several other open source secure chat platforms to all talk on the same federated network - which would spurn competition and be a great move for users of all chat platforms.
This echoes the problem of encrypted email. Things like Proton Mail are great, but require you to be in the network for full functionality. Yes, you can send someone outside of Proton Mail an encrypted message, but it's really just an email link to a webpage. If Proton Mail goes down due to an attack, the users are out of luck.
Personally, I'm getting sick of all the non-interoperabile messaging applications out there. I have Signal, WhatsApp, and standard texting on my phone. I refuse to install Facebook or Facebook Messenger on my phone. Some people only use one and not the any others. And yes, there's an xkcd about that: https://xkcd.com/1810/

When I was in elementary school, we said the Pledge at the beginning of every day. I moved to a different school district and they didn't say it at all. I was in high school after September 11th, 2001, and we started having time to say it every day, but it was optional. Most people said it, but those who did not just sat quietly, and I don't think they were ridiculed.
But yes, it is a form of brainwashing.
I agree with most of what the Black Lives Matter movement does, but I think they may have made a tactical error in going after the flag since most people don't think logically about the flag. However, civil rights movements could use this to their advantage. Instead of "disrespecting" the flag, wave it vigorously while demanding your rights. Then again, the police are treated as infallible in this country, so it's always going to be a difficult endeavor.

Like many of the requests here, I'd worry about software bloat/feature creep. I'm a fan of the Unix philosophy: Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features". Tildes isn't a messaging service, it's a discussion site. PM/DMs that are desired to be encrypted can use a different protocol.
As for signing posts, I think that keeping accounts pseudonymous and ephemeral would discourage the development of power users or royalty. Users should let their comments stand on their own, not on their identity (or account age, karma, etc).

Fifth Circuit Strikes Down Immigration Program
By Julián Aguilar
Editor's note: This story has been updated with additional comment.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has once again ruled against the Obama administration's controversial immigration program, upholding a lower court's injunction barring the plan from taking effect while awaiting the outcome of a full trial on the lawsuit's underlying arguments.
The policy, called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, was announced in November 2014 and would have allowed for more than 4 million undocumented immigrants nationwide to apply for three-year renewable work permits and reprieves from deportation proceedings.
Gov. Greg Abbott filed a lawsuit challenging the policy in his former role as attorney general last December, and 25 states joined the lawsuit.
"The court's decision is a vindication for the rule of law and the Constitution," Abbott said in a statement. "The president's job is to enforce the immigration laws, not rewrite them. President Obama should abandon his lawless executive amnesty program and start enforcing the law today."
The 2-1 decision late Monday marks the second time the New Orleans appellate court has denied the administration's request to let the program move forward. It follows a February ruling by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Brownsville that the Obama administration did not comply with the Administrative Procedure Act governing how federal regulations are made, and how much input the public has.
"Today, the Fifth Circuit asserted that the separation of powers remains the law of the land, and the president must follow the rule of law, just like everybody else," said Attorney General Ken Paxton, who took over the case when he was elected. "Throughout this process, the Obama administration has aggressively disregarded the constitutional limits on executive power, and Texas, leading a charge of 26 states, has secured an important victory to put a halt to the president's lawlessness."
In May, the appellate court denied a request by the White House to let the program proceed while the case played out in the courts. The federal government tried again to have the injunction lifted, arguing that Hanen had misused his discretion in granting the injunction.
Judge Jerry E. Smith, who was appointed by former President Ronald Reagan, and Judge Jennifer Elrod, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, voted to deny the request. Judge Carolyn Dineen King, appointed by former President Jimmy Carter, cast the dissenting vote.
Attorneys for the state of Texas had argued that in addition to circumventing Congress and abusing his authority to enact immigration laws, the president's order would cause the state harm in the cost of providing undocumented immigrants driver's licenses and other benefits.
Smith and Elrod agreed.
"The states have satisfied the other requirements for a preliminary injunction," the opinion states. "DAPA beneficiaries would be eligible for driver's licenses and other benefits, and a substantial number of the more than four million potential beneficiaries—many of whom live in the plaintiff states—would take advantage of that opportunity."
The panel also rejected the administration's argument that halting the program would harm the administration's ability to prioritize its resources.
"Separately, the United States postulates that the injunction prevents DHS from effectively prioritizing illegal aliens for removal. But the injunction 'does not enjoin or impair the Secretary's ability to marshal his assets or deploy the resources of the DHS [or] to set priorities,'" the opinion states.
The next step for the administration will likely be an appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court. But it's unclear whether the high court, which began its current term last month, has enough time to consider the case.
"In this case the time line has always been a critical element of the outcome since it is a presidential discretionary order," Muzaffar Chishti, an attorney and director of the Migration Policy Institute's office at New York University School of Law, told the Tribune in October. "Whether it can happen during the life of this presidency has always been the dominant question."
Chishti added that November might be the last month the Obama administration could ask the high court to consider the case. If it does, a ruling could come as late as June.
Even if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the administration, the president will be in the final months of his eight-year presidency, which will likely factor into whether potentially eligible immigrants apply for the protection.
Supporters of the immigration plan were quick to pounce on the state's leadership for filing the lawsuit.
"The 5th Circuit ruling is a setback, but it is Greg Abbott and his continued opposition to immigration reform that hurts Texas workers, families, and businesses," said Cristina Tzintzún, the executive director of the Workers Defense Project.

Who Killed Alex Spourdalakis? A Tragic Story About Autism…
Posted on 28th July 2015 by Admin in Documentaries
"Alex will no longer be treated like an animal or subjected to restraints. He will not be discriminated against. Alex will not be treated as retarded or less than human because he is disabled and cannot speak for himself. He will not be neglected and abused by the medical community anymore."
This is part of what Dorothy Spourdalakis had written in a note before her suicide attempt in 2013. She and her son's godmother tried to commit suicide after killing Alex, a severely autistic teenager. Alex was first given a large dose of prescription drugs, but due to his large body weight (he weighed over 200 pounds) it didn't work. Out of desperation his mother and caretaker ended up stabbing Alex to death.
I know what you are probably thinking. How utterly horrific.
Sometimes there comes along a story so shocking and so tragic you at first think it must be fictitious. That it must be a horror movie. But in this case, it's not. This did happen. And the timeline of events leading up to this tragedy strongly suggests that the fault lies more with the medical system than the mother.
Alex and Dorothy in happier times. This was prior to his long stint in hospital.
It's perhaps very easy for us to immediately judge these two women (especially after reading mainstream press reports) as clear cut murderers, however there is so much more to this story. If you have already heard about this case, you may not know all of the reasons behind what drove them to carry out this horrific act. It is, quite simply, a story that cannot truly be understood until you see what this family went through.
Please view the following short trailer from the documentary movie Who Killed Alex Spourdalakis.
Alex in restraints which became very normal for the Chicago teen
Documentary Highlights
Whilst I believe viewing this film is crucial to really understanding what went on, I have highlighted some points to show you the timeline of what happened to Alex.
Alex born very healthy baby.
At 18 months he regressed into autism after MMR vaccine.
Diagnosed with autism at 3.
Developed gastrointestinal problems.
Improved after changing diet (eg. removing milk, wheat, and processed foods).
Doctor told mother to put him back to eating wheat and his previously allergenic foods.
Soon became very agitated and wouldn't sit still – his autism worsened.
Doctors saw him as needing only psychiatric care so put him on Zoloft, Valium, Ritalin, Midazolam. His physical health conditions were ignored.
Medication made him stay awake most of the time.
Starts to physically lash out at family and therapists.
Doctors then put him on antipsychotics which he had a serious reaction to.
Doctors kept putting him on new antipsychotic drugs.
Started to be regularly admitted to hospital – in the psychiatric ward, not general ward.
Alex discharged, started to become very aggressive, destroying the house – including ripping out ceiling fan fixtures. Was extremely violent to his mother and godmother. Kicked Dorothy in the hip.
Alex went to hospital and was restrained to the bed by cuffs.
Alex became very violent during car rides, shoving Dorothy's head into steering wheel while driving.
Finally a doctor ordered a CT scan of Alex's colon. He was found to have ulcerative colitis – a painful condition involving inflammation and often cysts of the colon and rectum. But doctor dismissed it as "not being serious enough" to have treatment for.
Other antipsychotics were then given to Alex and recommended to go to psychiatric hospital.
Dorothy unable to cope with what was happening.
Alex became so violent it once took ten men to help him get upstairs. Then he damaged the house and had to go back to psychiatric ward.
Doctors wanted him to go to psychiatric hospital permanently but none would take him.
New antipsychotics were given to him; Alex's condition worsened.
Alex was given anti seizure drug Topiramate (check out the incredibly long list of adverse effects here) but Alex did not have a seizure disorder.
Alex started to see a gastrointestinal specialist who wanted to do an endoscopy. The doctor wrote, "The mother seems to be at her wits end." Another GI specialist said Alex's gastro problems needed extensive investigative help.
Doctors at the hospital said Alex's mental condition should be treated first and dismissed his gastro problems.
Doctors were shown studies and articles about the autism connection to gastro problems. All were ignored.
Dorothy, desperate for help, started to reach out to some autism websites.
Age Of Autism wrote a story about Alex's story showing picture of him in hospital with restraints.
The Autism Team became involved. They started video documenting what the medical system was doing to Alex.
Family recommended (by an outsider from hospital) to visit a paediatric gastrointestinal specialist, Dr. Arthur Krigsman in New York.
Alex given a "bowel clearance" by Dr Krigsman before his procedure – he slept for 14 hours, the best sleep Alex had had in years.
Proceedure showed Alex had a large amount of ulcers and nodules in his bowels.
After being restrained and drugged so much – Alex begins to be very scared of hospitals and ambulances. Dorothy starts texting people saying they are exhausted and don't know what to do.
Dr. Krigsman put Alex on appropriate medication to help with his ulcers. But Dorothy also had to comply with psychiatrist's instructions to keep dosing Alex with antipsychotics.
May 2013: Doctors in the hospital said Alex had to soon go to a psychiatric hospital – where his mother would only be able to visit him once a month. Alex would be there for the rest of his life – restrained and drugged. She said that if this happened "everything would be over."
Text from Dorothy May 22: "There is no hope, he is suffering the unimaginable."
No hospital wanted to take him.
Insurance firm said they had to leave the hospital.
Alex discharged despite hospital violating many parts of the EMTALA act.
Dorothy couldn't cope at home – Alex was out of control.
Alex had been restrained for a total of 70 days.
In June Dorothy and Jolanta gave Alex an overdose which failed, then they stabbed him to death and tried to commit suicide which also failed.
Prior to Alex's death Dorothy had also begun taking antidepressants which had side effect of eliciting violent and suicidal tendencies.
Both are now in jail on murder charges.
The System Let This Family Down
This is really a story about a medical system that did not provide the correct care for this young teen. The system only looked at one part of his condition. This is about what can happen to a mother who sees her child being treated worse than an animal in a place that is supposed to help people. Alex was treated more for psychiatric conditions rather than his actual physical ailments, and the many different types of psychotropic medications he was prescribed ending up causing his health and mental condition to worsen drastically. This is also about what happens when medical insurance runs out and when a family's money dries up, leaving a life in psychiatric care, constantly restrained and drugged, as the only alternative.
Would this be okay for a dog, let alone your own child?
This case is, sadly, not rare. Many other mothers have killed their autistic children because they could not look after them anymore. (1) (2) (3) (4)
While many say, "but they didn't have to murder Alex," after viewing this film, you might change your mind, seeing a lack of compassion and cruelty at the hands of the medical system as the culprits rather than the mother and godmother. You may in fact see the desperation these women felt, believing that the only way to end Alex's suffering and save him from a far crueler fate was to end his life.
One of the most tragic parts of this case was that shortly before Alex's death, the mother found someone who knew how to help Alex, yet the hospital back in Chicago made Alex continue to take psychiatric medication that was clearly not working for him. Now that is cruel. Alex's mother did not want this at all, but she had to comply because the doctors can override a parent's wishes anytime they want to.
It's very easy to judge a situation like this, but unless you are living it, what you think you "may" have done can differ drastically from what you actually would have done. You never really know until you've walked in someone else's shoes.
What Is Going To Happen To All Of The Autistic Children?
If the proper facilities had been available for Alex, he would still be alive today. With many children today also being severely autistic, and some experts, such as Stephanie Seneff (a senior research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) predicting that one in every two children by 2025 will be autistic – the future for these families and their children is very frightening indeed.
And what about the financial strain it can cause on a family? According to a study by Autism Speaks, the average cost for looking after one autistic child during their lifetime costs a family between 1.4 – 2.4 million dollars. If the medical community does not start treating them for their physical conditions (and it is important to note that most autistic children often have bowel disorders triggering their behavioural problems), they are sure to end up going down the same road as Alex, being treated psychiatrically rather than medically and therefore never truly getting better. And with the obvious cruelty inherent in this course of action, how many families will be able to – or not able to – handle it when it happens to their own child?
In honour of Alex's memory The Alex Spourdalakis Recovery Centre will be built in Austin Texas.
"It broke my soul. It's really hard to find the words. It may be the worst, saddest story I have ever seen. Everybody should see it, even if you can't stand to see it." – Celia Farber, Investigative Journalist, after viewing the film.
Watch & Share Alex's Story
I really hope that you will take the time to view this movie. It raises such important issues. I will warn you, it's not an easy film to watch at times. What the medical system did to Alex is beyond chilling, and you can clearly see it. You can see it in Alex's eyes and his shocking change of behaviour and how it all served to wear down the strength of his mother and godmother, bit by bit.
When it comes to Alex's mother, I personally saw nothing in her but love, and at the end, pure desperation – she just could not handle seeing her son being treated like he was. Dorothy knew that she had nowhere to turn and Alex would never receive the correct medical care he deserved.
Our medical system needs a huge shakeup if we are to help these autistic children in the way that they need.
