'American Idol' Releases Season 9 TV Spots
"American Idol" has started pushing the accelerator on promoting the ninth season. Beside releasing a bunch of the judges' photos earlier this week, the show has also started running TV spots that include the new judge, Ellen DeGeneres.
The competition will begin airing on Tuesday, January 12 on FOX with the Boston audition that presents Victoria Adams as the guest judge. Post Paula Abdul's departure in August 2009, celebrities from Joe Jonas to Neil Patrick Harris to Mary J. Blige were hired to sit in as the fourth judge. It was then confirmed in September that Ellen was going to sub for Paula. Her first appearance would be the Hollywood week on February 9.
Another TV spot released is focused on the contestants who auditioned and earned the golden ticket to Hollywood. Simon Cowell said to one of them, "Some people have got it and I think you may have it."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania death row inmate has a simple premise for the U.S. Supreme Court: The same person shouldn't be both his prosecutor and his judge.
Yet Terrance Williams says that's exactly what happened when Philadelphia District Attorney Ronald Castille signed off on Williams' death penalty prosecution in 1986 and, as chief justice of the State Supreme Court nearly 29 years later, participated in the unanimous vote that reinstated Williams' death sentence.
Castille's actions as a judge are before the high court today.
Williams' lawyer says Castille had a clear conflict of interest and should have stepped aside from hearing the case, especially because a lower court judge found that prosecutors working for Castille hid evidence in Williams' murder trial.
"The issue being raised is prosecutorial misconduct, in his office, at the time he was the boss," said Shawn Nolan, who handles death penalty appeals in the Federal Community Defender Office in Philadelphia. "It's just not right."
Castille, now retired, refused defense requests to withdraw from the case.
"In Pennsylvania, we leave it up to the judge's personal conscience," he said Friday. "I've always been confident that I can be fair and impartial."
A judge's decision about sitting out a case is a sensitive subject for the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices decide for themselves when they should not participate.
In its last major case about judicial ethics, the high court was divided 5-4 in 2009 in ruling that elected judges must step aside from cases when large campaign contributions from interested parties create the appearance of bias.
Philadelphia prosecutors argue that Castille played only a fleeting part in Williams' prosecution, limited to signing off on the decision to seek the death penalty. Williams, who had been a star high school quarterback, was accused of killing a church deacon, Amos Norwood, 56. He already had been convicted of killing a high school booster, Herbert Hamilton, 50, for which he was sentenced to up to 27 years in prison.
Williams' case came before the State Supreme Court after a lower court threw out his death sentence in 2012, five days before he was to be executed.

How Much Do Dentures Cost?
When deciding on what dental restoration is right for you, cost is always a factor. With dental appliances such as dentures cleveland tx, you will want to also take into consideration the fact that you may require extractions at your oral surgeon’s office. Dentures are an investment in your quality of life and will need maintenance just like the organic teeth you once had. Regular visits to your dentist will ensure your investment is well taken care of for years to come!
Immediate vs. traditional
Once you and your dentist have determined that dentures are the way to go, there are a couple more options to consider.
- Traditional dentures are fabricated using a mold made from impressions taken of your mouth. They typically take a couple of weeks to be made which will allow healing time from any extractions you may have required. After they have been created, they are set in your mouth and any necessary adjustments are made.
- Immediate dentures, however, are placed directly following any extractions and are able to assist in protecting the area as it heals. These typically require a follow up visit for adjustments after the healing process is complete. Immediate dentures are generally more costly than traditional ones.
Full dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in your mouth. If most of your teeth have fallen or or have been extracted, your dentist may advise having the remaining teeth extracted as well in order to fit you with a beautiful new prosthetic denture. This denture will cover both your upper and lower arch entirely. The top will also cover the roof of your mouth but the bottom will be horseshoe shaped as to leave space for your tongue.
Partial dentures replace a number of missing teeth in one area of your mouth. This version is advisable for patients who still have enough healthy teeth so that a partial can be anchored to them. An acrylic base is constructed with metal or acrylic clasps to be attached to the neighboring healthy teeth.
Implant supported dentures are a more costly option but offer a more sturdy support base than that of other types. After any remaining teeth are extracted, four dental implants are placed. These implants will anchor your denture into your mouth. While this option is considerably more secure, the maintenance can add additional cost so be sure to inquire as to the upkeep.
So keep in mind the overall cost of dentures will vary on a couple of things: type of denture, other procedures to be completed before you can have your denture placed and maintenance of your new investment. While it may seem daunting at first, this is truly an investment in your overall health. Not restoring your mouth has its own costly consequences, including loss of gum and jawbone and facial structure. Your appearance can actually change when teeth are left unattended. Make an appointment to discuss your options with your doctor and have a full treatment plan laid out for you.

Oligonucleotide-based strategies to combat polyglutamine diseases.
Bottom Line: The latter include targeting SNP variants associated with mutations or targeting the pathologically expanded CAG repeat directly.We compare gene silencing effectors of various types in a number of aspects, including their design, efficiency in cell culture experiments and pre-clinical testing.We discuss advantages, current limitations and perspectives of various ON-based strategies used to treat polyQ diseases.
Affiliation: Department of Molecular Biomedicine, Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Noskowskiego 12/14, 61-704 Poznan, Poland.Show MeSH
Related in: MedlinePlus
Mentions: The possible ways to block the pathogenic pathway in polyQ diseases include the following: genome editing, transcription inhibition, transcript degradation or modification, translation arrest, and inhibition or degradation of toxic protein (Figure 2). To prevent the activation of pathogenic pathways, the mutation should be eliminated or blocked at the earliest step of mutant gene expression, i.e. in the DNA sequence. The technologies designed for DNA editing are developing rapidly (71–73) and were already tested for therapeutic use (74–79). In the case of polyQ diseases, gene editing tools can be directly targeted to expanded CAG sequences in genomic DNA. Zinc finger nucleases that recognize and cleave CAG repeat sequences were tested in mammalian cells (80). More recently, the CAG repeat-targeting zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) were used in a R6/2 HD mouse model to achieve efficient and specific repression of mutant HTT (81). The ZFP-mediated mutant transgene repression likely involved steric blockade formation for RNA polymerase during transcription and resulted in a substantial correction of the molecular and behavioral pathogenic hallmarks. In attempts to therapeutically regulate gene transcription, the promoter sequence may be targeted with short RNA duplexes (82–85). The feasibility of this approach is supported by growing evidence that core RNA interference (RNAi) proteins are present and operate in the nucleus (86–89). It is not clear whether the observed changes in the histone code are caused by short RNAs targeting DNA or RNA (sense or antisense) covering the promoter sequence, but clearly Argonaute proteins are involved in these processes (90,91). In the case of polyQ diseases, this strategy would likely result in silencing both alleles of the gene.

Cancers, including those incurable ones, can be treated with a bispecific antibody by allowing T cells to attack the treatment-resistant cancers, scientists claimed. According to Medical Express, since there are too many tumors that do not respond to immunotherapy, it remains an imperfect medical tool.
Some photos of our work in the chemistry lab! We achieved to get a clean product
we synthesised the linker, which is a pre-stage for our bispecific antibody#lab #wetlab #results #labour #chemistry #igem #igem2019 #biology #syntheticbiology #science #erlangen #germany #fau pic.twitter.com/d7fqmynUr7 — iGEM Erlangen 2019 (@iGEM_Erlangen) June 30, 2019
This problem might be solved by an evolving class of engineered proteins called "bispecific' antibodies. This antibody is named after the dual recognition capability and can bind to the surface antigen of a cancer cell itself. It is also engineered to home in on a T cell surface receptor. The results of the study were published in Science Mag.
Its main goal is to activate T cell's tumor annihilating capability and bring two types of cells together. The Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a leading biotechnology company, located in Tarrytown, New York, is currently studying the bispecific antibodies.
The company's REGN-EB3, a triple antibody cocktail, outperformed other experimental treatment last year for Ebola, because of its promising development. It is currently being reviewed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), expecting it to receive full approval this year. Regeneron scientists are currently studying an antibody-based treatment for the novel coronavirus.
How bispecific antibodies work
The report also confirmed that Regeneron's bispecific antibodies have grown out of a sobering reality since there are some cancers that developed deceptive strategies that give them the ability to resist immunotherapy. To overcome cancer's evolution, the investigational bispecific antibodies were designed to overcome cancer-cell resistance.
Results of Phase I trial of JNJ-31186372 EGFR-cMet bispecific antibody show preliminary significant clinical efficacy.

Dimitris Skokos and Janelle Waite, the scientists who are part of a large Regeneron team, made advancement in testing a class of co-stimulatory CD28-bispecific antibodies. Since the checkpoint blockade immunotherapy relies on drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, it is already considered as an innovative form of cancer therapy.The scientists designed it to engage the body's T cells to treat multiple forms of cancer, by recognizing and attacking malignant cells.

Ernst Friedrich Karl Rudorff (January 18, 1840 ? December 31, 1916) was a German composer and music teacher.
Born in Berlin, Rudorff studied piano under Woldemar Bargiel from 1852 to 1857, before enrolling at the Leipzig Conservatory in 1859, where he studied under Ignaz Moscheles, Louis Plaidy, and Julius Rietz. He was also a private pupil of Moritz Hauptmann and Carl Reinecke. In 1865 he became a piano teacher at the Cologne Conservatory, and he founded the Bach-Verein Köln in 1867.

Have you ever been in the situation where you needed to brush your teeth, but had no power in your electric toothbrush? This is a common problem that can be easily solved with an electric toothbrush charger. In this article, we’ll discuss the convenience and advantages of having a charger for your electric toothbrush, so you never have to worry about running out of power again!
Table of Contents
Electric Toothbrush Chargers
An electric toothbrush charger is a small, wall-mounted unit that provides power to an electric toothbrush. The charger typically has a base with a pronged plug that fits into an electrical outlet, and a charging cradle or dock into which the toothbrush handle is placed. Some models have a cord that plugs into the charger and wraps around the base of the toothbrush handle, while others have a wireless charging dock.
Most electric toothbrush chargers are designed for use with specific models of toothbrushes, so it’s important to check compatibility before purchasing a charger. Many chargers are universal and can be used with any type of electric toothbrush, but some require an adapter in order to work with certain models.
The convenience of an electric toothbrush charger is that it eliminates the need to replace batteries in the brush handle. Simply place the brush on the charging dock when not in use, and it will be ready to go when you need it. Most chargers provide enough power for several days of use before needing to be recharged, so you’ll never have to worry about your toothbrush running out of power.
Benefits of Having an Electric Toothbrush Charger
An electric toothbrush charger is a great way to make sure your toothbrush always has power.
Here are some benefits of having an electric toothbrush charger:
- You’ll never have to worry about your toothbrush running out of power.
- An electric toothbrush charger is easy to use and helps you keep your toothbrush working properly.
- It’s a great way to keep your toothbrush clean and hygienic.
Types of Electric Toothbrush Chargers
There are two types of electric toothbrush chargers: inductive and conductive. Inductive chargers use an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between the charger and the toothbrush, while conductive chargers use direct contact between the charger and the toothbrush.
Inductive chargers are more convenient because they don’t require a physical connection between the charger and the toothbrush. However, they’re also more expensive. Conductive chargers are less expensive, but they’re not as convenient because you have to physically connect the charger to the toothbrush.
How to Choose an Electric Toothbrush Charger
If you’ve ever been caught without a charger for your electric toothbrush, you know how frustrating it can be. Not only does it mean you can’t brush your teeth, but it also means you have to go out and buy a new one. With so many different types of chargers on the market, how do you know which one to choose?
Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an electric toothbrush charger:
Compatibility: Make sure the charger you choose is compatible with your toothbrush. There are many different types of chargers out there, so it’s important to find one that will work with your specific toothbrush.
Portability: If you travel often, or if you simply want to be able to take your charger with you on the go, look for a portable charger. Some chargers are small enough to fit in your purse or pocket, making them easy to take with you wherever you go.
Price: Chargers range in price from around $10 to $30 or more. Decide how much you’re willing to spend on a charger before beginning your search.
Tips for Using an Electric Toothbrush Charger
An electric toothbrush charger is a great way to ensure that your toothbrush always has power.
Here are some tips for using an electric toothbrush charger:
- Make sure to charge the toothbrush for at least 24 hours before first use.
- When not in use, store the toothbrush in a cool, dry place.
- Be sure to unplug the charger when not in use.
- Do not attempt to charge the toothbrush while it is wet.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using an Electric Toothbrush Charger
Electric toothbrush chargers offer a number of advantages over traditional battery-powered toothbrushes. One major advantage is that you never have to worry about running out of power. Simply plug in your toothbrush and charger into an outlet, and you’re good to go.
Another advantage of electric toothbrush chargers is that they tend to be much more durable than batteries. This means that you won’t have to replace them as often, which can save you money in the long run. Electric toothbrush chargers also tend to provide a more consistent level of power, which can result in a better brushing experience.
However, there are some disadvantages to using electric toothbrush chargers as well. One downside is that they can be bulkier and more difficult to travel with than traditional battery-powered toothbrushes. Additionally, if you lose power or your charger breaks, you may be out of luck until you can find a replacement.
An electric toothbrush charger makes it easy to keep your brush powered and ready to use. Not only that, but they are convenient and relatively inexpensive. With one of these chargers, you can always be sure you have enough power for a thorough brushing session, no matter where you may be. If convenience is what you’re looking for when it comes to keeping your teeth clean and healthy, then investing in an electric toothbrush charger is the way to go.

Add the old world charm of shutters to your home and enjoy the rich beauty that shutters bring to your interior decor.
How to Order
There are a few steps to consider and we recommend calling our team of experts if you have any questions. The first, and most important step, is deciding if you'd like to mount the shutters in your window frame or on the wall surface. This will make the following options simpler to understand.
Inside vs. Outside mount
Inside mount shutters fit completely inside the window opening. If the window is set deeply and has no obstruction (like a crank handle), they can be flush to the wall. If the window is shallow or you prefer a bolder look, the shutters will be set above the surface.
There are several options for upgrades including cloth tapes, routeless slats, cordless operation and motorization. Cloth tapes are meant to enhance the style and soften the look of the blind. Routeless slats, as mentioned above, take light control and privacy to the next level, providing better room darkening. Cordless offers easy operation and is an important safety consideration for homes with small children, as loose cords can be dangerous.
For small windows, mounting inside will limit the amount of light that can pass with the louvers open. If you plan to 'open' and 'close' with the slats instead of opening and closing the shutter doors, an outside mount allows more light when open.
Windows with Cranks
Cranks will likely interfere with inside mount shutters and require outside mount. Please call our team of experts if you have any questions.
Windows with Trim
If you have a window with trim around the edges, and you plan to keep the trim, your new shutters can be sized to go over the trim, leaving it as-is. This will make the shutters slightly larger and bolder looking and increase the cost somewhat. If you wish to remove the trim, then the trim is not a factor in choosing inside or outside, and is only based on your aesthetic preference.
Most of our shutters have a frame around the outside that holds them in place. If you are planning on an inside mount, a smaller frame allows more light with the shutter slats open. If you plan on an outside mount, or if there is plenty of light, choose for aesthetics. Larger frames coordinate with larger sized trim and room detail.
The shutter frame is the outside edge that attaches to your window or wall; the shutter panels in turn attach to the frame. The type of frame selected is dependent on the function and style desired; some frame styles double as decorative molding, others are less noticeable, while others provide extra depth to help clear window handles and other obstructions. Please make sure you have answered the questions regarding your existing window before selecting a frame style. These questions will help match the appropriate frame to your window. Please review our shutter measure and order guide for more information. More details about each frame type can be found on the order page.

"Worth the Wait"
By Jon from Mesa, Arizona
My order was for plantation shutters for three windows. There is a large center window consisting of four panels, and two 'slot' windows on either side consisting of one panel each. All panels arrived in great shape. The order was EXTREMELY well packaged into five boxes. The large center shutter frame had to be assembled. The two smaller frames were shipped fully assembled. All panels were precisely built to my careful measurements and installed easily. But the installation takes some DIY skills. The windows that the shutters installed over were nearly perfectly square and plumb. I can see where the installation would be much more difficult if this was not the case. Previously I had only heavy drapes covering the windows which I left in place. The drapes offer another layer of insulation during our hot summer days. I live in a desert climate. My order took 50 days from the day I placed the order to the delivery date. But worth the wait if you are not in any big hurry.View this product
"Love, Love, Love!"
By Debbie from Missouri
Bought these online. I ordered the swatches first to be sure to get the correct shade. The swatches arrived within days of ordering them. Then came ordering. The instructions for measuring were easy to follow. Received my shutters 6 weeks later and was definitely impressed with the quality. They have a very high-end appearance, very rich-looking. Certainly improved the looks of our newly remodeled room. Super easy to install, even for the do-it-yourselfer.View this product

The second edition of The Wild Mayo Ultra comes to the adventure capital of Ireland (Westport) on May 13th and 14th
Raceface events are promoting this ultra-cycling weekend with three fantastic events on routes around the county that will aim to push the competitor to their limits!
The routes use the majestic Mayo coastline and county border roads, passing through the county’s iconic beauty spots which take the participant on a historic tour of Mayo’s gems. https://www.raceface.ie/wild-mayo-ultra-650k-route-description/
This event is not for the faint-hearted, it really is “Ultra” tough, once the clock starts outside The Mariner Hotel on Mill Street, participants have to negotiate the routes cycling completely solo. The 650 kilometre route covers every nook and cranny of the county’s border, scaling the highest mountains with a total elevation gain of 6500 meters. All participants have to use a GPS device to navigate the route, descending down boreens, back roads and on the roads less travelled. The event really is an adventure of exploration and sightseeing making it a lifetime achievement when completed.
The 200-kilometer route is still a fair challenge but is aimed at those dipping their toe into Ultra for the first time or those just getting back after being out of action. It still is a very tough event but one that is more than achievable. Navigating through the Newport Furnace lakes, the Wild Nephin drive, North West Mayo, and over most of the Achill hills.
The 300k event will be a tough day in the saddle! The goal here will be to have this finished before darkness sets in. It takes in all the 200-kilometer event plus the north Mayo coast. Sights like Downpatrick’s Head and the Ceide Fields will be stunning.
Participants will encounter many battles on their trip, they will face their own demons telling them to stop and give up, the pain of being on the saddle for so long, their legs and lungs burning with lactic acid the unrelenting wind, the constant navigating and questioning are they on the right route or not. They will ask themselves WHY would you in contemplate such torture?
For all the hardship comes the simple pleasure of the majestic Mayo scenery, the carefree laziness of the sheep hanging around the roadside, the sea air breeze on their face, the knowledge that today they are going to beat the route and finish knowing that they will overcome the physical and mental challenge of the Wild Mayo Ultra!
Let’s hope that Mother Nature will smile down on them and have the wind on their backs.
Full details of the route and time schedules are on www.raceface.ie
We hope the Wild Mayo Ultra will be to Mayo what the Ironman is to Kona in Hawaii! We know this event has the capacity to achieve this; we have the most amazing roads, the most unbelievable scenery, and the Wild Atlantic Way!
We all know that cycling in this County always has that X-factor which is unexplainable!
The Wild Mayo Ultra has partnered up with The Mariner Hotel, Mill Street, Westport which is the event’s headquarters. The riders start off on Friday evening and Saturday morning respectively and finish on Saturday evening from 18:00.
The atmosphere should be electric as family and friends welcome home their heroes.
Westport Bike shop has come on board as a sponsor and will help the participants with any last-minute mechanicals or equipment
The events are supported by Destination Westport, Mayo.ie, Marrey Bikes, Nuasan, and Westport Bike shop.
It’s sure to be another monumental day out for all cyclists.

Commuting Alternatives: In Reverse, With a Twist
Andrew Burwick always gets a seat on the train. A
daily commuter, he has never had to stand on the trip between Princeton
Junction and New York. Not once. Burwick does not have unusually sharp
elbows, nor does he have a psychic’s ability to divine just where
the doors will be when a train glides to a stop.
Burwick, a social policy researcher with Mathematica at 600 Alexander
Road, is a reverse commuter. A resident of the Chelsea section of
Manhattan, he leaves Penn Station in the morning just as the first
commuters are arriving in great, gray waves. He returns in the evening,
taking a dignified ride on an up escalator as the mass of outward
bound commuters, 20 deep and poised to sprint en-masse, crowd around
monitors that announce the platform on which the next train is due
Burwick is different from other commuters in a couple of ways. For
one thing, his reverse commute means that he has no experience of
standing in the company of a couple dozen of his fellows in an elevator-size
train vestibule for an hour as doors open at regular intervals, sometimes
letting in sleet. For another thing, this car-less New Yorker, has
added a nifty refinement to his commute — a Xootr scooter.
Upon arriving at Princeton Junction, Burwick swings the 10-pound scooter
from his shoulder, unfolds it, and breezes through parking lots —
propelled only by foot power — to his office at 600 Alexander
Park. On the return trip, he navigates a trickier route, scooting
on sidewalks and through Manhattan traffic to his apartment on West
"As soon as I got the job with Mathematica, I started to think
about how to make the commute easier," Burwick says. He looked
around on the Internet and found the Xootr (www.novacruz.com). Its
deck — made of blonde birch with two non-skid black strips —
is wider than those on "toy" scooters like the popular Razor
scooter. It easily accommodates two, adult-size feet. Its narrow handlebars
have comfortable black foam rubber grips, and it has a hand brake,
which brings the scooter to a smooth stop.
"The wheels are larger than the wheels on a Razor scooter,"
Burwick says. This provides stability, and easier passage over sidewalk
cracks and the like. After a year of use, the wheels on Burwick’s
silver-colored Xootr are showing some signs of wear, but not as much
as his shoes. "I’ve got a hole in this one; it’s almost all the
way through," he says, holding up one of his black leather work
Burwick, a man who cheerfully admits to being cheap, bought his Xooter
on E-bay for $80. Scooters like his retail for about $149. Fancier
models are available, he says, his voice betraying a definite hint
of gadget lust. One model even has an electric motor. But wouldn’t
that add substantial weight and make the scooter so much more difficult
to schlep around? Not really, says Burwick, adding that the motor
is tiny and the electric-powered Xootr is quite cool. Retailing at
about $900, this, sleek 19.3 pound model, with its motor hidden near
its rear wheel, reaches speeds of up to 17 miles per hour in five
seconds and powers riders up modest hills.
Still, he is happy with his current Xootr. It gets him from the train
to his desk in five or six minutes. The trip takes 10 to 15 minutes
by foot. Times are the same at the other end, making for a one hour
and 15 minute commute each way. He could shave a good 15 minutes from
that time if he took Amtrak trains, but he says that few Amtrak trains
accept monthly tickets at the times reverse commuters are traveling.
Rather than using a monthly commutation ticket, he buys off-peak round
trip tickets. This option is not available to workers making the conventional
commute, and it saves him money.
All-in-all, Burwick says, his commute is not that bad. He generally
uses his train time to read, and finds the ride home helps him decompress
from his work day. But why work in New Jersey at all?
"I went to graduate school at the Woodrow Wilson School,"
says Burwick, "so I was familiar with Mathematica. There aren’t
many companies that do social policy research, and that is what I
am interested in." Mathematica, working mostly under state and
federal contracts, does research on a range of social policy issues,
including health care, welfare, education, employment, nutrition,
and early childhood policies.
Burwick, who majored in Asian studies at Harvard (Class of 1992),
grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. His father, Cliff Burwick,
now retired, was a program manager for IBM and for Dell. His mother,
Barbara Burwick, also retired, was an administrator in international
relations at Stanford. After graduation, he returned to the Bay Area
and worked for a computer hardware manufacturer as liaison to its
offices in Asia. After two years, he left this job to volunteer as
a teacher in Vietnam.
He went to Vietnam through VIA, a Harvard program that sends recent
graduates to Asia for volunteer work. There he taught English and
literature in Dalat, a city he describes as being high in the mountains,
a beautiful place to which the French, during their occupation of
Vietnam, retreated in the summer to escape the heat of Saigon.
During his two years in Vietnam, Burwick got around
on a motorcycle. Living overseas, one does not always take the precautions
one does at home, he says. "I didn’t always wear a helmet,"
he admits. But he did don one when his parents came to visit. "I
gave my mother a ride," he says. "She had the full experience."
Upon returning from Vietnam, Burwick had a great time working at Yahoo!
in the "pre-bot" period, when humans rather than robotic computers
actually checked out websites submitted for inclusion on the premier
search engine. The year was 1996, Yahoo! was a small company, and
no one yet knew that the Internet bubble was about to be pumped up.
"No one expected the boom," he says.
Burwick left the company to head for Princeton and the Woodrow Wilson
School before Yahoo!’s stock — and its employees’ stock options
— rose to a level which would have kept him in solid gold Xootrs
for life. "We studied a lot of finance at the Woodrow Wilson School,"
he laughs. "The lost opportunity cost of leaving Yahoo! was high."
Still, he appears to have no major regrets. Social policy research
is what interests him, and he says he loves his work. Before joining
Mathematica, he worked for the Century Foundation in New York City.
But while that foundation funds social policy research, it doesn’t
actually do the work, and that is what he wanted to do. Mathematica,
he says, has an excellent reputation in the field, and that is where
he wanted to work. His recent projects include the study of rural
welfare to work, the privatisation of welfare services, and Early
He goes on field visits frequently, generally visiting towns far off
the tourist route. "In July, I went to Nebraska for the rural
project," he says. Other recent trips were to the lower Rio Grande
Valley in Texas, South Dakota, southern California, and Minneapolis.
The trips — sometimes as many as two a month — cut the number
of train rides to Princeton Junction he takes each month from his
home in Chelsea.
Burwick and his partner, Dr. Casey Gallagher, a dermatologist, bought
their 600 square-foot, pre-War apartment four years ago. So, while
he didn’t benefit from the Internet boom, he has been in on the most
recent Manhattan real estate boom. His one-bedroom apartment has exposed
brick walls, and is in one of the city’s prettiest, most vibrant neighborhoods.
After he arrives home, via Xootr, Burwick sometimes "crashes"
(that would be figuratively, for the most part; there has been just
one relatively minor Xootr crash). But, unlike Princeton Junction
to New York commuters, he has also has a world of after-work entertainment
options right at hand.
"There’s more informal socializing in New York," he says.
He sometimes visits friends after work, or goes out to dinner, to
the theater, or to movies — also via Xootr. On one recent evening,
the Xootr was banned by a movie house manager on the Lower East Side,
but other than that one incident, the Xootr has always been welcome.
As appealing as life in Manhattan is, Burwick and his partner do think
about moving out to the ‘burbs. The attacks of September 11 do not
factor into the decision at all, he says, although he admits he is
still nervous about the possibility of more attacks. He was at work
on September 11, watched the towers collapse on television, and was
unable to get home that night. The smell of smoke permeated his neighborhood
for weeks, but the memory — or the possibility of a repeat —
is not what brings on thoughts of leaving Manhattan.
He sums up the attractions of the suburbs in the same way generations
before him have — more space inside and out, and greenery. "It’s
a trade off," he says. There’s no way to beat the excitement of
living in Manhattan, but enjoying it all generally means living in
a tiny space with no yard, no garden, and very often, no car. And
while not having a car has its advantages — no car payments, no
break-downs, no exorbitant insurance bills — it also makes getting
around on week-ends difficult.
"We would get out of the city more on week-ends if we had a car,"
says Burwick. As it is, when he and Gallagher want to go to the beach,
they take the subway to Jones Beach. When they do want to rent a car,
the cost of doing so in the city drives them to Newark Airport, where
rental rates are substantially lower.
The two are beginning to look at suburban neighborhoods, and have
already checked out Maplewood, and like it. "How long would the
commute from Maplewood be?" asks Burwick. According to Mapquest,
Maplewood is 41.5 miles from 600 Alexander Road. Mapquest puts the
drive time at 1 hour and 5 minutes, but with 13.24 miles of the trip
on the Garden State Parkway and 22.93 miles of the trip on Route 1,
one wonders if that 65 minutes might stretch out a bit during rush
For the moment, Burwick is not in a hurry to leave Chelsea, and is
not fazed by his commute.
The worst part? Well, the Xooter is no good in the rain. Its tires
slip, its brake doesn’t work well, and the lack of a rear bumper leads
to mud-splatters on slacks. But bad weather hasn’t been much of a
problem lately. No, the big drawback is lunch hour. All of Burwick’s
co-workers, like nearly every other desk jockey in central New Jersey,
have personal-use chariots waiting silently all the time, parked mere
yards away, prepared to whisk them away — no questions asked,
no arrangements necessary. They can come and go, running errands,
squeezing in doctor’s appointments, getting hair cuts, and choosing
from among lunch spots in downtown Princeton, MarketFair, Forrestal
Village — and farther.
Burwick, traveling via NJ Transit and Xootr, is sort of trapped. "I
bring my lunch, or I eat here," he says, gesturing to 600 Alexander
Park’s on-site cafeteria, and greeting its manager by name as he leaves
for the day. Sometimes he "mooches" a ride with a friend to
an off-site lunch, and sometimes Burwick, who has competed in the
New York Marathon, motors with a friend to the canal for a mid-day
He says staying on-site during the day doesn’t particularly bother
him, but his experience, shared by other reverse commuters, points
to a reason why mass transit has never taken off in the greater Princeton
Where those who commute to the city can roam at will
during the work day, buying books, sampling new restaurants, getting
teeth cleaned, and choosing from among a virtually unlimited number
of designer coffee vendors, suburban workers who arrive at their desks
via bus, vanpool, or even carpool, are marooned. Their vista may include
manicured lawns, flower beds, and even the occasional nesting swan,
but their wings are clipped, their work day diversions sharply limited.
Burwick says he is far from alone in his reverse commute. "The
platform is crowded," he says. Not nearly as crammed as the space
just across the tracks, but not empty either. Some riders get on in
Manhattan with him, and the train picks others up along the way. Many
of those who get off the train at Princeton Junction with him head
for taxi cabs. Others go toward waiting vans, which take reverse commuters
to, among other places, the offices of Merrill Lynch, Bristol-Myers
Squibb, Princeton Forrestal Center, and American Re-Insurance.
At least a few reverse commuters have the best of both worlds. "One
guy goes over to an electric car," says Burwick. "It’s plugged
in right in the parking lot." Burwick, who says he recognizes
and nods to fellow reverse commuters, but has not made any "train
buddies" so far, does not know who uses that electric car, but
it may be an employee of the Greater Mercer Transportation Management
Sandra Brillhart, executive director of the organization, says one
of her employees gets to work via an electric car parked at the station.
She says several Sarnoff employees share another. The cars are relatively
old and do not have the range of newer models. Still, she says, they
can go 40 or more miles on a charge, enough to get an employee to
work — and out and about at lunchtime, too.
Meanwhile, Burwick and his Xootr stay in at lunchtime, but enjoy great
freedom outside of work, zipping along on West Windsor parking lots
and expertly weaving through Manhattan crowds at two to three times
the speed of shoe-leather-only locomotion. After work, says Burwick,
it is delightful to feel the wind in his hair for a spell before settling
into his straight-back NJ Transit seat. When he gets home, he expertly
tracks right through the most dense crowds.
All-in-all, his commute — featuring stretches of free-wheeling
speed — sounds a lot more fun than the slow crawl his co-workers,
automobile owners one and all, endure day after day on Route 1 or
Interstate 95. But while the drivers are stuck in traffic, at least
they have some place to sit. A guaranteed seat, something Burwick
takes for granted, is still the stuff of dreams for Princeton Junction
to New York commuters who travel with the tide.

Evidence That It Works
This practice, which is part of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program for teens, prompts students to foster their natural capacity for kindness by encouraging good wishes and compassion (“I want you to be happy”).
In a pilot study of this program, teens reported decreases in depression, stress, and negative feelings after completing a six-session course, while students in a similar study reported greater resilience, gratitude, and a willingness to take on new challenges.
Why Does It Matter?
Researchers have discovered that toddlers as young as 14-months demonstrate a natural capacity for kindness, but this capacity must be nurtured through healthy relationships with adults and peers—the foundation of a positive school climate.
Studies have found that kind students who are well-liked by their peers are helpful, cooperative, and emotionally well-adjusted. In addition, students who show kindness at a young age achieve greater academic and social success in the long-run.

Yorkshire CCC is committed to providing a welcoming environment for spectators to enjoy their cricket whilst at Headingley. We are continuously looking at ways to improve our facilities to ensure equality for all fans, whether abled or disabled and welcome all constructive feedback.
When spectators with accessible needs purchase tickets, the following proof may be required to be produced:
- Receipt of higher or middle rate of Disability Living Allowance.
- Proof of Blue Badge parking rights.
Personal Assistants – free tickets are available for personal assistants and carers. The Club reserves the right to request evidence where necessary to support an accessible ticket.
Tickets can only be purchased through the Ticket Office by calling 0113 2033631 (weekdays 9am-5pm). Alternatively, you can request a call back by clicking on the below button and filling in the form.
If travelling by car there are clear, permanent, and additional direction signs that lead you from the motorway and major road networks to the Headingley area. There are two basic routes to reach Headingley, the first being from the South, avoiding the City Centre and the second from the North via the Leeds Outer Ring Road.
From the M1 South and the M62 East and West:
From the South leave the M1 at Junction 43 to take the M621 as far as Junction 2
From the M62 West, leave at Junction 27 to take the M621 as far as Junction 2.
From the M62 East, leave at Junction 29 to join the M1.
Northbound to take the M621 as far as Junction 4.
At Junction 4 of the M621, follow the signs for Headingley Stadium along the A643. These signs will lead you along the Leeds Inner Ring Road A58 to the A660 which is signposted to Skipton and Headingley Stadium. Signs along this road will indicate you have reached the Headingley area and on Test Match and One Day International days, additional temporary signage will direct you to the Park and Ride car park north of Headingley at Becketts Park (LS6 3PW).
From Bradford, Keighley, and all areas to the North:
All routes into Leeds from these areas lead to the Leeds Outer Ring Road, the A6110-A6120-A63. Along the Outer Ring Road signposting to Headingley Stadium will lead you to the A660 Otley Road and from here southwards to the Headingley area.
Blue badge parking is available on site. This is usually situated in Car Park F on St Michael’s Lane, LS6 3BW. If this is situated in another car park, you will be advised at the point of purchase.
Evidence of blue badge eligibility may be asked to be produced upon purchase of a blue badge parking space.
For all matches, blue badge parking can be purchased in advance via phone, email (cricket@yorkshireccc,com) or on our website via https://tickets.yorkshireccc.com/content
Information on blue badge parking can also be found in our pre-match guides published preceding the start of games.
For major matches where there are large crowds, you may experience delays exiting the Car Park. A one-way system is regularly introduced on St Michaels Lane, going towards Cardigan Lane. The quickest exit is therefore by turning right out of the car park and over the single lane bridge.
There is a short walk from Car Park F towards the man turnstile entrance on St Michael’s Lane and this includes step free access.
Temporary road closures at the end of games may also result in the early closure of car parks. Spectators must bear this in mind and further guidance can be given by the Club on this area.
For international games and other major matches, a buggy service operates to transit spectators who are unable to walk the distance from Car Park F to the turnstiles. The buggy service will not operate after the game until the crowds from St Michael’s Lane have dispersed.
Spectators are advised that due to the residential nature of Headingley’s immediate surroundings, traffic management schemes are enacted. This includes the coning of streets. We encourage all spectators to be mindful of this and to not park across driveways.
Disabled spectators can be dropped off outside the St Michaels Lane entrance. Spectators are advised that on major match days before the start of the game, a one-way system operates on St Michael’s Lane heading towards the bridge.

From Selhurst Park – It was not quite as bad as when he was dragged off after 34 minutes against Nottingham Forest in January but Nuno Tavares’ performance as Arsenal were played off the park by Crystal Palace on Monday night will have been even more concerning for Mikel Arteta.
Right from the outset, it was clear that the 22-year-old, drafted in for the injured Kieran Tierney, was extremely uncomfortable.
Even when pitted against Jordan Ayew – starting his first Palace game since February – Tavares was manic in his defending, flaying his limbs around almost at random as his opponents streamed past him. Positionally, things were equally suspect.
The low watermark of his defensive display was the part he played in Palace’s opening goal. While he was not the only Arsenal player at fault here, with the usually flawless Gabriel retracting his head like a shy tortoise at exactly the wrong time, Tavares should have and could have done much more to prevent Joachim Andersen no-look heading the ball into goalscorer Jean-Philippe Mateta’s path.
Unfortunately for the youngster his struggles were not confined to his own half either. Whenever he ventured forward, his passes rarely found their mark with one inadvertently kick-starting one of many dangerous Palace counter-attacks. In addition, not a single one of his four long balls forward found their mark.
It was distressing to watch a player who has shown real flashes of promise labour so badly again, and it was little surprise when he was withdrawn for Gabriel Martinelli at the break.
After the game, Arteta claimed that the change was tactical and denied assertions that another premature substitution would affect the player’s confidence.
“Today it was just a tactical reason. How we could attack and control much better in that position. I’m sorry that it was Nuno again but we had to do it,” he told his press conference.
Despite these claims, it is clear that a second Tavares horrorshow leaves Arteta with a huge decision to make at left-back for the rest of the campaign. Reports suggest that Tierney’s injury is a season-ender, and Arsenal’s failure to recruit in January has left them short in many areas – defence included.
After Tavares was taken off, Granit Xhaka was shifted over to the left side of the back four. This coincided with Arsenal looking a bit more comfortable without the ball, though Palace’s less aggressive press was also a reason for this.
Another option in the long-term would be shifting Cedric Soares or Takehiro Tomiyasu – when he returns – over to the opposite side. All of these solutions have pros and cons which will likely be discussed intensely over the coming days and weeks.
The crux of the matter is this, though. Arteta must get his left-back dilemma right with rivals Tottenham – who remain above Arsenal in fourth after this result – hitting their stride at exactly the right time. It’s a problem that could end up defining their season.

‘‘When I see the happy faces on the people who come in here, that’s all the matters to me,’’ he said.

|That Night Follows Day|
Performance. 2007. Tim Etchells & Victoria.
You feed us. You wash us. You dress us. You sing to us. You watch us when we are sleeping. You explain to us the different causes of illness and the different causes of war. You whisper when you think we can’t hear. You explain to us that night follows day.
Created with and for a group of 16 performers between the ages of 8 and 14, and produced by the Flemish theatre organisation Victoria, That Night Follows Day begins from Etchells’ text collecting factual observations concerning the ways in which the adult world shapes and defines that of young people.
Written by Etchells following workshops with the performers it follows his approach in Forced Entertainment projects such as Speak Bitterness and Quizoola! in creating a catalogue of at times contradictory utterances, here exploring with both clarity humour, the economies of parenting, education, discipline and care. That Night Follows Day speaks to the ways that adults project onto children, and to the ways that adults and children alike are both constrained and made by language as they try to describe their experiences and imagine their own futures.

Archaeologists Discover 13,800-Year-Old Underwater Site at Haida Gwaii
An archaeological discovery from this past September could put the earliest inhabitation in Canada at around 13,800 years ago, reported CBC News. Right now it’s all on sonar images captured by an underwater robotic vehicle. Archaeologist Quentin Mackie from the University of Victoria (UVIC) and his team returned from a research trip to the Haida Gwaii archipelago in August, where they used an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to scan the sea floor in search of evidence of ancient human inhabitation.
His team has been looking for proof of the earliest human presence in North America for decades, and what they think they’ve found is a fishing weir (a man-made rock formation) on the bottom of Juan Perez Sound under 122 meters of water. There are other formations on the sea floor that the team thinks are the sites of ancient camps of the same age.
Scientists think that area was at sea level 14,000 years ago and was mostly one large island that stretched across Hecate Strait east toward the mainland. The area has been submerged by 120 meters of water since that last Ice Age. The oldest artifact discovered in Canada so far came from Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site—it was dated to 12,700 years old.
Mackie says the sonar images fit in with his team’s theories (and tribal oral histories) about human inhabitation in Haida Gwaii where they’ve been researching for 20 years. The project is supported by the Tula Foundation Research Centre, the Gwaii Haanas, Parks Canada and UVIC. Colleagues Dr. Daryl Fedje (retired Parks Canada) and Nicole Smith (Parks Canada) presented previous findings in 2009.
Mackie and Fedje have theorized humans inhabited the area that’s now deep under Hecate Strait at around 16,000 to 17,000 years ago. So far, they have no hard proof, but they may be getting closer. And it’s not just technology, but agreements between the Governments of Canada and the Haida Nation may also have set the stage for an exciting discovery.
Ernie Gladstone, Haida, has been field superintendent for Parks Canada at Gwaii Haanas since 2001. These are his words and they answer so many questions that us outsiders have about this place and what was found and what will happen there.
“Gwaii Haanas means ‘Islands of Beauty’ in the Haida language, it is located in the southern third of the Haida Gwaii archipelago. It is designated as a Haida Heritage Site, a National Park Reserve and a National Marine Conservation Area Reserve. It is the only place in the world protected from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean. It is home to temperate rain forests, rich and abundant sea life and the Haida Gwaii Watchmen Program. It includes SGang Gwaay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where carved monumental poles and Haida architecture provide a glimpse into the living Haida culture and our historic Haida way of life. Gwaii Haanas has also come to represent the strong relationship built between the Government of Canada and the Haida Nation. While born out of conflict, the relationship that exists in Gwaii Haanas today is regarded internationally as an outstanding example of cooperative management.
“Gwaii Haanas has sustained livelihoods for millennia. We know this first from the stories that have been passed down through oral histories and more recently from archaeological surveys. The entire Gwaii Haanas area has been completely mapped with Haida place names and over 600 archaeological sites have been located. The more recent sites are found near almost every accessible shoreline, while those that date back to 12,000 years before present are elevated in the forest on raised beach sites or submerged in tidal areas. These older sites correspond with Haida stories about floods and lower sea levels as well as the most recent ice ages on the Pacific Coast.”
Gladstone has written this description, titled “My Life Has Been Shaped by Gwaii Haanas,” in the The Haida Gwaii Observer, as well as in a book about Gwaii Haanas, which is currently awaiting publication. Gladstone goes on to describe a series of agreements with the Governments of Canada and British Columbia and the Haida Nation, in 1988, 1993 and 2010. These agreements commit to protecting the land and water, new economic opportunities like eco-tourism, new programs and infrastructure, and funds that are managed by community and tribal representatives.
The 1993 Gwaii Haanas Agreement between Canada and the Haida Nation is described as precedent setting and a model for other governing bodies. Gladstone says: “At the core… is the agreement to disagree. Both the Haida Nation and the Government of Canada assert ownership over Gwaii Haanas. However, both parties respect each other’s views and maintain their respective authorities under Haida and Canadian laws.
“The Haida have an inseparable connection with the land and sea. They have protected Gwaii Haanas as a place where they can continue to carry out traditional activities and maintain the continuity of Haida culture. The Government of Canada has protected Gwaii Haanas as a representative natural and cultural area, an intact ecosystem and a place for people to appreciate and learn from.”
Before there were these agreements, there was The Haida Gwaii Watchmen Program, started in 1981 by local Haida tribal members that set up tent camps in areas to watch over and protect ancient sites. The 1993 agreement established The Archipelago Management Board, which is comprised of equal representation from the Government of Canada and the Haida Nation and is responsible for all issues related to planning, management and operations in Gwaii Haanas. In 2010, the Gwaii Haanas Marine Agreement was signed by Canada and the Haida Nation so that Parks Canada, Department of Fisheries and Ocean, and the Haida can manage the surrounding waters. Gladstone says this agreement calls for “Sustainable use activities, including commercial fishing and tourism, (which) will continue to support local and coastal communities and will be managed to ensure healthy and productive ecosystems will exist in the future, just as they do today.”
Some of the tribal oral histories used in the research were written down in the late 1800s and early 1900s by ethnographers and other histories are still being told by elders and recorded in other ways through Haida-led organizations like the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program. There is a resource book, Haida Gwaii: Human History and Environment from the Time of Loon to the time of the Iron People, and the authors, including Fedje and Mackie acknowledge Captain Gold, a Haida archaeologist who first led them to Kilgii Gwaay, an inter-tidal site that revealed thousands of lithics, as well as preserved bone and wood artifacts, which date back 10,000 years. All artifacts found within Gwaii Haanas are housed in the Haida Gwaii Museum in British Columbia.
It is very possible that next summer, we will hear that Mackie’s team will confirm the 13,800-year-old discovery and maybe even find older sites. All this done with the help and cooperation of Parks Canada, Ernie Gladstone and the Haida Nation.
