With vocal support from the governor and $25 million from the state, biomedical researchers are beginning to work on studying the fundamentals of human disease at a new facility in Chicago.

The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub – named for philanthropists Priscilla Chan and her husband and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg – is the second biomedical research center launched by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The ﬁrst is in San Francisco.

In addition to initial state funding, the center will receive $250 million from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative over 10 years to fund research into inﬂammation, part of the body’s innate response to irritation and disease.

The for-proﬁt philanthropy organization chose the Chicago location based on the application of a team of scientists from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Theirs was chosen from a pool of 58 applications.

One of the things that set the Chicago applicants apart, according to Chan, was the enthusiasm from Gov. JB Pritzker, who sent a formal letter of support for the project as well as adding a more personal touch.

“Gov. Pritzker showed up at the applicant interview day as the top cheerleader of the team presenting their case,” Chan said at

the Biohub’s launch event Thursday.

At the launch event, Pritzker delayed the day’s schedule – later lamenting he wasn’t able to “fully geek out” – when he refused to leave a lab because he wanted to discuss the potential applications of research into inﬂammation in nervous systems and muscle tissue.

“I’m gonna get in trouble,” Pritzker said when he noticed he was being watched by an event coordinator.

“Yeah, you are,” she replied, hurrying the governor out of the lab.

The $25 million state grant for the facility, which is still being processed, will come from the state’s Rebuild Illinois infrastructure program, according to a spokesperson from the state’s Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. A representative of the Biohub declined to divulge the total cost of the facility.

The under-construction Biohub is scheduled to be completed in January. The plan for the facility mixes elements of a university engineering department and a tech startup. Tissue incubation labs will be located down the hall from ﬂexible workspaces and an o�ce kitchen and bar.

The blend between a Silicon Valley ethos and academic research goes beyond the o�ce design and into its budget as well. That’s evidenced in the $250 million the lab is set to receive from CZI, which is primarily funded through Chan and Zuckerberg’s stock in Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook.

Shana Kelley, the Chicago Biohub’s president, said the steady revenue stream will allow it to bypass the typical search

SUPPORTING THE STORY FOSTERING THE FUTURE

Serving individuals with

for ongoing funding that is common in academia.

“You don’t have to ask the question ‘could we fund this?’” Kelley told Capitol News Illinois. “You can just say ‘is this worth trying?’”

Kelley, a professor at Northwestern University who is currently incubating her third and fourth companies, said the funding and more collaborative research model allow researchers to focus on “high risk, high reward” ideas.

“We’re not doing a lot of the other things you have to do in an academic institution,” Kelley said. “We’re not training graduate students. I’m not teaching undergraduates.”

The “disease agnostic” focus on inﬂammation came from existing work at the Biohub’s three partner universities which each have labs focused on studying instruments that can be inserted into tissue and immunoengineering. This type of research mostly revolves around building technology that will measure biological processes at the molecular level within human tissues, with the ultimate goal of treating inﬂammation involved in many conditions such as cancer and autoimmune disease.

“We’ve got to get inﬂammation ﬁgured out,” Kelley said. “We’ve got to learn to control it.”

Currently, the research center has 11 sta� members – with a planned sta� of 30 to 50 – and has ongoing projects with partner universities. Hope Burks, a fellow at the Biohub, is working on creating devices that can be inserted into the skin that monitor inﬂammation in real time.

Burks said this research might be helpful in developing diagnostic or clinical tools that can identify and treat disease.

“What kind of inﬂammation is happening?” Burks said during a presentation Thursday. “Do they have di�erent signaling patterns that are speciﬁc to each other?

Once we see what types of inﬂammation, what is e�ective against that?”

Israel Attacks

What went wrong? Questions emerge over Israel’s intelligence prowess after Hamas attack

By Tia Goldenberg Associated Press

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — For Palestinians in Gaza, Israel’s eyes are never very far away. Surveillance drones buzz constantly from the skies. The highly-secured border is awash with security cameras and soldiers on guard. Intelligence agencies work sources and cyber capabilities to draw out a bevy of information.

But Israel’s eyes appeared to have been closed in the lead-up to an unprecedented onslaught by the militant Hamas group, which broke down Israeli border barriers and sent hundreds of militants into Israel to carry out a brazen attack that has killed hundreds and pushed the region toward conflict.

Israel’s intelligence agencies have gained an aura of invincibility over the decades because of a string of achievements. Israel has foiled plots seeded in the West Bank, allegedly hunted down Hamas operatives in Dubai and has been accused of killing Iranian nuclear scientists in the heart of Iran. Even when their efforts have stumbled, agencies like the Mossad, Shin Bet and military intelligence have maintained their mystique.

But the weekend’s assault, which caught Israel off guard on a major Jewish holiday, plunges that reputation into doubt and raises questions about the country’s readiness in the face of a weaker but determined foe. Over 48 hours later, Hamas militants continued to battle Israeli forces inside Israeli territory, and dozens of Israelis were in Hamas captivity in Gaza.

“This is a major failure,” said Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “This operation actually proves that the (intelligence) abilities in Gaza were no good.”

Amidror declined to offer an explanation for the failure, saying lessons must be learned when the dust settles.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief military spokesman, acknowledged the army owes the public an explanation. But he said now is not the time. “First, we fight, then we investigate,” he said.

Some say it is too early to pin the blame solely on an intelligence fault. They point to a wave of low-level violence in the West Bank that shifted some military resources there and the political chaos roiling Israel over steps by Netanyahu’s far-right government to overhaul the judiciary. The controversial plan has threatened

the cohesion of the country’s powerful military.

But the apparent lack of prior knowledge of Hamas’ plot will likely be seen as a prime culprit in the chain of events that led to the deadliest attack against Israelis in decades.

Israel withdrew troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005, stripping it of a close handle on the happenings in the territory. But even after Hamas overran Gaza in 2007, Israel appeared to maintain its edge, using technological and human intelligence.

It claimed to know the precise locations of Hamas leadership and appeared to prove it through the assassinations of militant leaders in surgical strikes, sometimes while they slept in their bedrooms. Israel has known where to strike underground tunnels used by Hamas to ferry around fighters and arms, destroying miles (kilometers) of the concealed passageways.

Despite those abilities, Hamas was able to keep its plan under wraps. The ferocious attack, which likely took months of planning and meticulous training and involved coordination among multiple militant groups, appeared to have gone under Israel’s intelligence radar.

Amir Avivi, a retired Israeli general, said that without a foothold inside Gaza, Israel’s security services have come to rely increasingly on technological means to gain intelligence. He said militants in Gaza have found ways to evade that technological intelligence gathering, giving Israel an incomplete picture of their intentions.

“The other side learned to deal with our technological dominance and they stopped using technology that could expose it,” said Avivi, who served as a conduit for intelligence materials under a former military chief of staff. Avivi is president and founder of Israel Defense and Security Forum, a hawkish group of former military commanders.

“They’ve gone back to the Stone Age,” he said, explaining that militants weren’t using phones or computers and were conducting their sensitive business in rooms specially guarded from technological espionage or going underground.

But Avivi said the failure extends beyond just intelligence gathering and Israel’s security services failed to put together an accurate picture from the intelligence they were receiving, based on what he said was a misconception surrounding Hamas’ intentions.

Israel’s security establishment has in recent years increasingly seen Hamas as

an actor interested in governing, seeking to develop Gaza’s economy and improving the standard of living of Gaza’s 2.3 million people. Avivi and others say the truth is that Hamas, which calls for Israel’s destruction, still sees that aim as its priority.

Israel in recent years has allowed up to 18,000 Palestinian laborers from Gaza to work in Israel, where they can earn a salary about 10 times higher than in the impoverished coastal enclave. The security establishment saw that carrot as a way to maintain relative calm.

“In practice, hundreds if not thousands of Hamas men were preparing for a surprise attack for months, without that having leaked,” wrote Amos Harel, a defense commentator, in the daily Haaretz. “The results are catastrophic.”

Allies who share intelligence with Israel said security agencies were misreading reality.

An Egyptian intelligence official said Egypt, which often serves as a mediator between Israel and Hamas, had spoken repeatedly with the Israelis about “something big,” without elaborating.

He said Israeli officials were focused on the West Bank and played down the threat from Gaza. Netanyahu’s government is made up of supporters of Jewish West Bank settlers who have demanded a security crackdown in the face of a rising tide of violence there over the last 18 months.

“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the content of sensitive intelligence discussions with the media.

Israel has also been preoccupied and torn apart by Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul plan. Netanyahu had received repeated warnings by his defense chiefs, as well as several former leaders of the country’s intelligence agencies, that the divisive plan was chipping away at the cohesion of the country’s security services.

Martin Indyk, who served as a special envoy for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations during the Obama administration, said internal divisions over the legal changes was an aggravating factor that contributed to the Israelis being caught off guard.

“That roiled the IDF in a way that was, I think, we discovered was a huge distraction,” he said.

Some in Congress want to cut Ukraine aid and boost Taiwan’s. But Taiwan sees its fate tied to Kyiv’s

By Didi Tang Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — To Rep. Mike Collins, China is a bigger threat to the United States than Russia. So the Georgia Republican has voted against providing military aid to Ukraine as he advocates for doing more to arm Taiwan, the self-governed island that’s at risk of military aggression from Beijing.

For Collins and other Republican lawmakers, Taiwan and Ukraine are effectively rivals for a limited pool of U.S. military assistance. But that’s not necessarily how Taiwan and many of its supporters see it. They view Taiwan’s fate as closely linked to that of Ukraine as it struggles to push back a Russian invasion.

They say China is watching closely to see if the United States has the political stamina to support an ally in a prolonged, costly war. The U.S. aid to Ukraine also has led to weapons manufacturers stepping up production — something that could benefit Taiwan in a clash with China.

“Ukraine’s survival is Taiwan’s survival. Ukraine’s success is Taiwan’s success,” Taiwan’s diplomat in the U.S., Hsiao Bi-Khim, said in May at the Sedona Forum hosted by the McCain Institute.

Still, Taiwan has been careful not to weigh in on the U.S. debate about continued funding for Ukraine, which has become a divisive political issue after initially having strong bipartisan support.

Asked about Congress removing Ukraine funding from a temporary spending measure that prevented a U.S. government shutdown on Oct. 1, Taiwan’s diplomatic office responded with discretion.

“Taiwan is grateful to have strong bipartisan support from the U.S. We will continue to work with the U.S. to maintain the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait,” the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.

But Congress’ refusal to include the aid raises “alarm bells” in Taiwan. said Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund. She noted that the Taiwanese government “has argued that Ukraine’s victory is existential for Taiwan.,”

“These worries exist even though most Republicans who seek to end U.S. support for Ukraine are still very pro-Taiwan

and willing to do more to help defend Taiwan,” she said.

Taiwan is the thorniest issue in the frayed U.S.-China relationship. Beijing claims sovereignty over the island, which lies roughly 100 miles (160 kilometers) off the mainland’s southeastern coast, and vows to seize it, by force if necessary, to achieve national reunification. The United States wants a peaceful resolution and has a security pact with the island, supplying it with military hardware and technologies to prevent any forced takeover by Beijing.

China’s military actions near the island have fueled concerns over armed attacks. President Joe Biden has said he would send troops to defend Taiwan in case of war, while Chinese President Xi Jinping has demanded the U.S. respect his country’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Collins traveled to Taiwan on his first overseas trip as a congressman. When he returned, he called for timely weapon deliveries to the island, especially since as much as $19 billion worth of weapons sold to Taiwan have been delayed.

“These delays are primarily a result of a U.S. manufacturing backlog and a distracted Biden administration with weapons deliveries to Ukraine taking preference over Taiwan,” Collin said. “We must get serious about offering support to our ally Taiwan because ultimately when it comes to countering China, our interests align.”

Bradley Bowman, senior director of the Center of Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, disagrees with that logic.

“It’s not a zero-sum game,” he said. “Taiwan supports the U.S. aid to Ukraine. They understand that the deterrence message works.”

And on a practical level, Bowman said, the aid for Ukraine is helping the U.S. expand its weapons production, which will both benefit Taiwan and enhance U.S. military readiness.

Rep. Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican who in April led a congressional delegation to Taiwan as chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said support for the island has not diminished on the Hill.

“Throughout the conversations about aid to Ukraine, I have not heard a single person take a swipe at Taiwan,” McCaul said at a recent National Day celebration hosted by Taiwan’s representative office

in Washington.

Glaser said the Chinese leadership is unlikely to discount the U.S. support for Taiwan, even when U.S. support for Ukraine is waning, but it is likely to exploit any failure to fund Ukraine in a disinformation campaign to sow doubts among the Taiwanese people about the

U.S. commitment to their defense. In a social media post, Hu Xijin, a retired chief editor of the Communist Party-run Global Times newspaper and now a political commentator, said this month that most U.S. overseas military interventions have “rotted” if the U.S. fails to cinch a rapid victory.

Reconnecting with self and nature: Explore the Rock River Trail Initiative

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Illinois Renewable Energy Association Contributors

The economy has built around abundant, low cost energy supplies. Some energy experts subscribe to the idea that the days of abundant and low cost energy supplies are unlikely to be available in the near future. In their perspective, a major fall in available energy supplies will force a change in the global economy.

Considering the extensive excess of printing money by governments, especially by the United States, has led to a dramatic rise in interest rates. With excess dollars in the economy and a decline in low cost energy supplies could lead to a 30% decline in the U.S. economy.

Rather than live with a fear of the possible decline, people can begin to prepare to live with less. Some people have chosen to avoid the bad news by spending less of their time in the pursuit of more and learn to live successfully with less.

Another cluster of people chose to disconnect from the consumer society and reconnect with the natural world. When we were first married, one of Sonia’s relatives provided us with a wedding gift to spend a couple of weeks at the newly opened Audubon Camp in Sarona, Wisconsin. Being in an outdoor setting separated us from the ongoing global news and opened new vistas to explore which provided

tube talk

relief from the depressing news of global deterioration. Paddling around in canoes, we approached nesting sites of redwing blackbirds who responded by dive bombing our heads. We spent our days exploring the outdoors with knowledgeable leaders guiding us.

After two weeks of exploring outdoor settings we were refreshed and recharged to deal with everyday events. What we realized during the two week escape that the world had not collapsed and our minds had been freed from the endless stream of bad news.

From that point on our interest in educating the public about the value of outdoor experiences intensified. We have spent our lives educating the public regarding the importance of the environment to human well-being.

When the late Frank Schier and former owner of the Rock River Times expressed an interest in creating a Rock River Trail System similar to the Appalachian Trail we encouraged him to further pursue the effort. He eventually linked with Greg Farnham and the project began to grow.

The Rock River Trail Initiative offers several different trails as a way to explore the beauty of the river and surrounding river valley. Hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, driving, horseback riding, small plane trips and art and chocolate trails are some of the ways to explore the area. Living

in both the environment and the moment also offers the opportunity to escape the depressing ongoing impacts of excessive consumption of natural resources.

While the need to preserve the organic basis of the natural world remains an important challenge for the human enterprise. Each of us as individuals is also a nonrewable resource; we need to be refreshed to meet the challengers of everyday existence.

Some people we know start the day with personal admonitions to keep their spirit alive. We share some of their messages. While the power of a positive personal outlook is important to individuals, we all need longer experiences in the outdoors to sustain and enrich personal efforts.

Each day, when I walk down the lane, I have a sense of comfort and peace. It’s always the same, yet ever different. I have seen the day before, but never that day. I live the sense of doing it many years before. Life does not stand still.

The beauty of the earth and the sky overwhelm me and fill me, they absorb me into them. Whether warm or cold, sunny or rainy, I see beauty, I sense beauty. The birds – musical songbirds in the trees or wild geese flying high overhead out of touch; the trees, standing silent and still, yet their twigs and

First things first: The WGA writers’ strike was resolved in late September. That doesn’t mean new episodes of your favorite scripted series will be back in production right away. The SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike needs to be settled before actors can go back to work. But at least the writers can start writing new scripts so productions can resume as soon as the actors’ strike has ended.

Late-night talk shows, which rely heavily on comedy writers, already returned last week. (Don’t expect a lot of actors as guests, unless they’re promoting a book, podcast, or just want to shoot the breeze. They aren’t supposed to promote their TV or film work during the strike, although there may be exceptions for small indie films and international productions.)

Unscripted programming wasn’t shut

down, so you’ll still see plenty of new reality shows, true crime series, and game shows. Travel Channel kicked off it’s annual Ghostober programming stunt with a new paranormal investigation series called Jack Osbourne’s Night of Terror. It was inspired by a special Osbourne did a couple years ago with his famous family. For the series, he’ll bring friends or family members along on his investigations.

The first episode, which aired October 1 garnered attention when it was filmed late last year because Osbourne’s mom, Sharon, landed in the hospital during filming. But it’s the second episode (which aired October 8) that drew local interest, since it was filmed at Rockford’s famed Tinker Swiss Cottage. If you missed it, don’t worry. It will be repeated several times this month.

I won’t spoil it for you, since I’m writing this a week before the Tinker Swiss Cottage episode is scheduled to air. Osbourne’s

guest for this investigation is The Masked Singer judge Jenny McCarthy, who lives right down the road in St. Charles, Illinois. They shot the episode just before Christmas last year while the cottage was closed for repairs.

Some visitors report having seen, heard, or felt strange things while on the Tinker Cottage property. The one time I toured the beautifully-preserved historic home, the infamous Red Room was closed, so I didn’t get the see what some people claim is the most-haunted part of the building. Overall, the atmosphere struck me as warm and inviting, not the least bit scary. Sure, part of the basement felt a bit creepy, but most basements do. Even mine.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, if you get Travel Channel or the Max streaming service (which the former Discovery+ app is now part of), you might want to watch this particular episode of

leaves alive and dancing in the breeze; the squirrels scurrying with nuts and the chipmunks chucking happily; the grasses glittering in the dew – I feel one with them, we are all related, part of the great wonder of life, part of the great whole.

Each day has its own pulse. I see beauty, I sense happiness in our connection. I am at peace. (SMWV)

There is something lovely about pursuing familiar pathways, retreading our steps of yesteryear. The same vistas seen year to year, season the season, day to day, alter, subtly or dramatically. As the light falls on a field, one day it is golden, another dun. In summer, it blazes with flowers; in winter, blue shadows fall across the snow. Exploring familiar places expands the sense of feeling at home. (J-M H)

There is no more comfortable place to be than home. (TV)

No matter which trail or trails a person chooses to explore, an important component of the experience includes freeing the mind to enjoy the experience. Look over the trail options and select those that can help refresh your outlook.

Jack Osbourne’s Night of Terror just to see one of Rockford’s architectural gems in the national spotlight.

If you haven’t already toured Tinker Cottage, consider taking the tour. You’ll learn about how Mr. Tinker built and planned the house, where his money came from, and some fascinating local history. And if you’re really brave, maybe you’ll sign up for one of the popular paranormal tours or even a paranormal investigation tour. Details on all types of Tinker tours can be found at TinkerCottage.com.

Programming Note:

Jack Osbourne’s Night of Terror airs Sundays at 9 p.m. CT on Travel Channel.

The Tinker Swiss Cottage episode re-airs on Travel Channel Friday, October 13 at 5 p.m. CT; Sunday, October 15 at 10 p.m. CT; and Monday October 16 at 2 a.m. CT.

40th

anniversary of the

ﬁrst commercial cellular service

FROM DAVID RUFFIN

ETHNIC HERITAGE MUSEUM

ROCKFORD. In October 1983, the ﬁ rst commercial cellular system in the United States opened in Chicago. Come to the Ethnic Heritage Museum on Sunday, October 15th, 2023 to learn about the

ideas and development behind this predecessor system to what we all depend on today. Lynell Cannell will also tell of her experience as the lead developer of call processing software for the cell sites, including the a� rmative action that encouraged her to join in the project.

The museum opens at 2:00 p.m. and Lynell will start her talk at 2:15 p.m. In an accompanying exhibit in the EHM Irish gallery, you will see the large equipment she had in her car before 1983, that made calls on the demonstration system that AT&T used to show the FCC that cellular

phones were worth spectrum allocation. Compare the big box in her trunk to the phones we have today.

Lynell’s presentation is free to the public but donations are greatly appreciated.

NOTICE BY PUBLICATION

Notice is hereby given to you, WYATT M. HAWKINS & NICHOLAS ZOERNER that the Plaintiff has filed a COMPLAINT FOR FORFEITURE that is now pending in the Circuit Court of Winnebago County, wherein the Plaintiff seeks an order authorizing the forfeiture and disposition of the following: ONE 2008 INFINITY G35X VIN#JNKBV61F08M271093.

This is a civil court proceeding subject to the Code of Civil Procedure. Notice of this Complaint of Forfeiture has been published because the State’s Attorney’s office has brought a legal action seeking forfeiture of your seized property. This complaint starts the court process where the State seeks to prove that your property should be forfeited and not returned to you. This process is also your opportunity to try to prove to a judge that you should get your property back. The complaint lists the date, time, and location of your first court date. You must appear in court on that day, or you may lose the case automatically. You must also file an appearance and answer. If you are unable to pay the appearance fee, you may qualify to have the fee waived. If there is a criminal case related to the seizure of your property, your case may be set for trial after the criminal case has been resolved. Before trial, the judge may allow discovery, where the State can ask you to respond in writing to questions and give them certain documents, and you can make similar requests of the State. The trial is your opportunity to explain what happened when your property was seized and why you should get the property back.
