Alliance of the Southeast Seeks Community Organizer for Equitable Development in Chicago

The Alliance of the Southeast (ASE) in Chicago is actively seeking a Community Organizer to bolster its Coalition for a South Works Community Benefits Agreement (CBA). This full-time position is crucial for expanding the coalition's efforts and working directly with residents to secure CBAs and anti-displacement policies. The organizer will coordinate initiatives to ensure that the South Works Quantum campus development, and other local projects, deliver community benefits. Residents have identified key priorities, including job creation, training opportunities, environmental sustainability, affordable housing, green infrastructure, and overall quality of life improvements.

Chicago Children's Hospital Offers Flu Shots to Anesthetized Children, Raising Consent Questions

Chicago Children's Hospital Offers Flu Shots to Anesthetized Children, Raising Consent Questions

Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago has announced a program offering annual flu vaccines to eligible patients aged 6 months and older while they are under anesthesia for scheduled surgeries or other procedures. This initiative is available at its downtown Chicago hospital and ambulatory surgery centers in Westchester and Northbrook. The hospital states that this practice is intended to ensure children receive their flu shots, particularly those who might otherwise miss them due to fear of needles or other logistical challenges. A state lawmaker and pediatric anesthesiologist has indicated that such a practice can be appropriate, provided that parents give informed consent. The program aims to increase vaccination rates among pediatric patients by integrating the flu shot into existing medical procedures, potentially reducing the need for separate appointments and minimizing distress for children who are anxious about injections.

IBM Activates Quantum System Two in Chicago, Featuring Nighthawk Processor

IBM Activates Quantum System Two in Chicago, Featuring Nighthawk Processor

IBM has announced the activation of its Quantum System Two in Chicago, powered by the Nighthawk processor, at Hyde Park Labs. This deployment marks IBM's first quantum computer installation in Illinois. The system is described by IBM as its most advanced offering to date. This launch deviates from the original plan announced in December 2024, which projected a System Two equipped with the Heron processor to be deployed in Chicago within the following year. The actual launch occurred in November 2026, with the processor upgraded to Nighthawk r2. While the Nighthawk r2 has 120 programmable qubits, which is fewer than Heron's 156, it features an increased number of couplers (218 compared to Heron's 176) and significantly faster circuit execution speeds, exceeding 100,000 circuits per second, a substantial increase from Heron's 4,000 per second. The system is currently housed at Hyde Park Labs and is slated for eventual relocation to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) once construction is co...
