Congratulations on another successful legislative session. As you're likely back home and preparing for the holidays, much like I am, I would like you to remember one thing, if possible.

Our friends in Ukraine celebrate their holidays on the cusp of what could be the deadliest winter in Ukranian history thanks to ongoing Russian aggression against one of our allies in the region. We owe it to our Ukranian friends to give them the capabilities to put Russia at a standoff distance of at least 150 miles. This way the Ukranian Army can push Russian supply lines to collapse and force Russian commanders in Ukraine to endure ongoing bombardment and certain death or our ultimate goal, permanent retreat and a restoration of peace.

I implore you to think of the efforts of those simply trying to go about their daily lives but live under continued attack by a bully and a thug in Moscow (who is also an enemy of ours).

A context switch is the process of storing and restoring the state of a CPU or a device so that multiple tasks can share the same hardware resources. In a computer operating system, a context switch occurs when the operating system kernel switches the execution of a task from one process to another.

When a context switch occurs between the kernel and user space, it can be more expensive in terms of performance because it requires the kernel to perform additional tasks. These tasks include:

Saving and restoring the state of the CPU registers, including the program counter, stack pointer, and any other relevant registers.

Saving and restoring the kernel stack, which is used to store temporary data and function calls made by the kernel.

Updating the process control block (PCB) for the current process to reflect the new state of the task.

Chris Short's Niece

My six pound niece is fighting cancer

My niece was born in early December. She was immediately whisked away to the NICU (my sister-in-law didn't get to hold her for days). My niece was able to come home for Christmas. The week after she went in for tests. Everything looked good. The next week, she went in for the same battery of tests and all results came out drasctically bad. She will not come home from the hospital for six to eight months, at least. The diagnosis is Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The prognosis is not good either (25-40% chance of survival). The treatment brutal. 😔

Our Plan

We all feel helpless to an extent. But, my niece has two brothers. Between three households (Julie's retired parents, Julie's other sister, and ours) we're going to make sure my nephews establish a pattern/routine to their day-to-day lives over the next several months. But, we're building out a list of

	# L-Spine MRI 2024-07-03

	## Multiple Levels

	Facet degenerative changes — Facet Disease

	## L2-L3

	Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy — a condition that occurs when the ligamentum flavum (LF) thickens due to stress on the spine The LF is a ligament that runs along the back of the spinal canal and is made up of elastic fibers that allow it to bend and stretch as the spine moves. When the LF thickens, it can compress the spinal cord or nerves, which can cause pain and even disability.
