The Penn Charter softball team arrived at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy on April 23, which is widely celebrated as the birthdate of William Shakespeare. The drama that unfolded might be considered the SCH version of the Bard's "All's Well That Ends Well," as the host team gave up most of an early 10-1 lead, then came out of its swoon and ultimately prevailed, 16-11.
There was a late starting time for the contest, and with a few rain sprinkles intruding upon the high-scoring affair, participants and spectators were chilled by the time the game ended at 7:00 PM.
The PC Quakers scored once at the top of the first inning, but then walked seven batters and hit another in the bottom half, helping the Lions go up by nine. Charter blanked the home team over the next three frames, though, and by scoring a few runs at a time, the visitors closed up the score to 10-8 in the top of the fifth inning.
Springside Chestnut Hill got its bats going again, scoring three times in each of its next two turns on offense. That made it 16-8, and the Quakers added their final three points in the top of the seventh. They slipped to 4-3 in the Girls Inter-Ac League and 6-7 overall, while those records rose to 4-1, 7-3, respectively, for the Lions. Both teams had fallen to league leader Agnes Irwin, and PC's third loss came at the hands of the Academy of Notre Dame, a team SCH defeated, 6-4, on Friday, April 20.
On that same Friday, Penn Charter lost more than just a game to Irwin (8-3); the Quakers also lost talented young pitcher Kayla Quinn when the freshman was involved in a collision at first base, injuring her left wrist (her non-dominant side).
Junior Jess Drossner had started in the circle for PC during the 2011 season, but she took some time to settle in at SCH last week. The Quakers went ahead early when junior Molly Mornhinweg led off the game with a walk, went to second on a sacrifice grounder by classmate Rachael Garnick, and then scored on a hot grounder doubled down the third base line by Danielle Sienko, a senior shortstop who signed with Kutztown University last November.
Two pop-ups retired the side, and SCH started out with singles to centerfield by Lions junior Michelle Cybularz and freshman Julia Moriarty. The bases filled up when senior Alexis Giovinazzo (who will play for Muhlenberg College) was hit by a pitch, then the first of seven walks in the inning got the home team on the board.
Three more runs were pushed across the plate on bases-loaded walks. On singles down the first base line, sophomore Jenna Moriarty (Julia's sister) and senior Resnya Hughes drove in one and two runs, respectively. A base hit down the opposite line by eighth-grader Ashley Lubisky drove in a run, and in her second at-bat of the inning, Cybularz sent up a sacrifice fly to right field for an RBI. Another Lions runner scored on a passed ball.
PC's Drossner had better luck with her bat as she started the second inning with a single, moving up to second with a walk to junior classmate Carly Zuercher. Seniors Emma Cataldi and Melissa Samuels sacrificed themselves with a bunt and a ground-out to score PC's second run. In the bottom half, Drossner allowed just four Lions up to bat.
Senior Emily Kurtz singled in a third run for the visitors in the third inning, and she came home herself when three straight walks followed, making it 10-4 with one out and the bases still loaded. SCH's Saltzman avoided further damage by striking out the next two batters. In the bottom half the Lions got a double to right field from senior catcher Aly Markey (Albright College), but later she was called out for interference in the base path and SCH did not score. The next time up, the Lions went down in order.
PC kept chipping away, scoring twice in the fourth and adding two more in the fifth. In the fourth frame, as in the third, Kurtz produced an RBI single (this time to center), and eventually came home on a walk with the bases loaded. The PC senior (who's going to Penn, but doesn't plan to play ball there) came through yet again in the top of the fifth, whacking a two-run triple to left center.
Now, in the middle of the fifth round, SCH had gone scoreless for three innings while watching the tally tighten up from 10-1 to 10-8. The Lions got the sticks moving again just in time.
Leading off the bottom of the fifth, Cybularz batted up an infield error to reach first, then went around to third on wild pitches before Julia Moriarty drew a walk. Both runners scored on a line drive double to left center by Giovinazzo, who later stole third and then came home on another wild pitch, spreading the score to 13-8.
Next, Penn Charter got the bases loaded with one out due to a pair of walks and a hit batter, but SCH's Giovinazzo snared a line-drive at short and then doubled up the PC runner at third base.
The Lions tacked on their final three runs in the bottom of the sixth, which began with a walk to Hughes (who's headed for Drew University). She moved ahead on a ground-out by newly-entered freshman Brigit McDermott. Cybularz then drove a hit just to the right of second base, scoring Hughes and reaching second herself on the throw home.
The SCH junior went to third on a wild pitch and then scored on a hit to the right side by Julia Moriarty. Moriarty eventually worked her way around to third, thanks in part to a fly ball hit by Giovinazzo, then Markey earned an RBI on the home team's final run of the day.
For the start of the seventh inning, sophomore Julia Casasanto was inserted into the order for Penn Charter, and an SCH error on her bunt put her on first. Next, an errant throw by the Lions got Seinko to second while letting in a run. When a wild pitch advanced Sienko and also helped bring about a walk for Kurtz, the Quakers had runners on first and third with no outs.
Sophomore Kristina Kubach clubbed the ball out into center and it bounced past the SCH outfielder, getting Kubach all the way to third and scoring the two baserunners.
The Lions were still up by five runs, 16-11, but they had to regain their poise to slow down the PC offense. The Lions got one out in the books with a strike-out, and Saltzman fanned the next hitter, as well, completing the "K" with a change-up. The contest concluded on the next play, a ground-out to short.
In the end, SCH hurler Saltzman (5K, 9H) yielded a dozen walks, one more than the 11 issued by Drossner (2K, 11H), but she distributed those bases on balls more evenly than the PC junior. Later in the week Drossner picked up non-league victories over Germantown Friends and Little Flower, while SCH logged an Inter-Ac win over Baldwin.

ONEONTA, N.Y. – After being behind by three goals at the end of the first half, the MIT men's soccer team lost to SUNY Oneonta, 4-2, in the first round of NCAAs. This is only the third time in program history that the Engineers have made it to the tournament, the last time being in 2008. They wrapped up their season with a record of 13-5-2.
In the 61st minute, freshman Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) put MIT on the board, scoring his 16th goal of the season, which has him tied for first in the NEWMAC. He was in the right place at the right time to collect a loose ball in the box that came off keeper Daniel DeBottis and put the ball into the back of the net.
The game got interesting in the 67th minute when the Engineers got one goal closer to evening the score. Sophomore John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.) redirected a crossing pass from the right flank by junior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.). Nine minutes later, however, the Red Dragons scored once again, giving them a 4-2 lead with less than 15 minutes remaining in the game. With too little time to close the gap, MIT ultimately fell to Oneonta.
MIT outshot the Red Dragons, 11-10. At the close of his first NCAA tournament appearance, freshman goalie Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y.) came away with one save, while DeBottis had three.

Hold On To That ThoughtPosted: March 11, 2013 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Connors, Haigneys, NJ 4 Comments
Hold on to that thought.
I heard that phrase many a time in my grade-school days, when I could have been a prototype for Hermione Granger, Harry Potter's perpetually hand-waving buddy.
Well, "hold on to that thought" is useful advice in genealogical research. It can apply to all those funny bits of data we stumble across from time to time, the ones whose significance remains stubbornly unclear.
I don't have that name in my lines, we might think. Or: I don't know of anyone who was from that place.
We conclude that these things are flukes – a brief acquaintanceship, perhaps, or just a whistle stop on one of our ancestors' journeys. This potentially can be a mistake.
A couple of years ago, I wrote about finding a guy in the 1900 census who sure looked like he could be my great-grandfather Joseph F. Haigney. His age, birthplace, marital status and occupation were all in line with how other sources described him during the 1890s. Sometime after 1899, Joseph moved from his lifelong home of Watervliet, N.Y. He eventually settled with his wife and children in Brooklyn, where he can be found with boring regularity from 1910 on.
But in 1900, he was quite elusive. And when I finally found a viable candidate, there were, in my mind, three very big snags:
- He was in Jersey City, not Brooklyn.
- His wife, Catherine (Connors) Haigney, was nowhere in sight, and neither were any of his children, including my grandfather Raymond.
- He was boarding in the household of an Edwin and Rose Brant. None of us had ever heard of anybody called Brant.
Assuming this was great-grandfather Joseph, what in the world was going on?
As I previously wrote, I established that Edwin and Rose, like Joseph, were recent arrivals from Watervliet. And about a year after the census find, I came into possession of an address book from the 1930s belonging to Joseph's daughter, Anna, which strengthened the idea of a close association between the families. Thirty years after Joseph boarded with the Brants, Anna continued to keep track of three Brant daughters, now grown and married.
And that was it – an enigmatic census entry and an old address book, both pointing to a family named Brant in Jersey City. Based on what little I had, it seemed that this was a case of old acquaintances from the Capital District renewing their ties in Hudson County and Brooklyn. Interesting, but nothing to stop the presses about. I busied myself with other things.
Still, I held on to that thought.
And recently this paid off as I worked on the ancestry of great-grandmother Catherine (Connors) Haigney, Joseph's wife. There are many more Connors families than Haigneys in Watervliet, and up to now it's been hard to pick out which one might be Catherine's – especially since I had no information about possible siblings.
Then one of my periodic rummagings through Tom Tryniski's remarkable New York newspapers database turned up the piece of gold I had long sought: a Troy Times obituary for Catherine's brother, James Connors, listing Catherine and another sister as survivors. This obituary led to a blizzard of other clippings, which helped crack the case of which Connors census entries were which, and before you could say "Get that in the database," I had pieced together a preliminary picture of my great-grandmother's parents, Patrick and Bridget, and their seven children.
Soon enough I had a decent basic idea of what became of five of these children, including my great-grandmother, of course. The two mysteries were a son named Timothy, who is difficult to trace after 1880, and a daughter variously recorded as Rose, Rosannah and Rosa.
It's all so clear in retrospect, isn't it?
Not in real time. I was sitting on a train the other day, thinking two things:
- I hate how the name Rosannah keeps putting that old Toto song into my brain.
- Have I ever seen a Rose anywhere in my travels?
Which was when I blurted out, "Rose BRANT!" thereby drawing some curious stares from across the aisle. (It could have been worse; I could have started singing "Rosanna.")
The next logical stop was the Jersey City Free Public Library's lovely New Jersey Room, where some lovely obituaries confirmed the hunch. Rose's own death notice from 1914 referred to her only as the beloved wife of Edwin, but Edwin's obituary from 1929 contained the wonderful words: "Edwin O. Brant, beloved husband of the late Rose Brant (nee Connors)."
This is the beginning rather than the end of the story. A lot of blanks still need to be filled in and connections confirmed in what is shaping up to be a typically sprawling Irish Catholic family. But it has been delightful to uncover a more detailed picture of my great-grandmother's clan just in time for Women's History Month, not to mention St. Patrick's Day.
I'm so glad I held on to that thought.

Durin's Tower was the tower upon the Silvertine. It was built by the Dwarves in ancient times on the peak of the Silvertine, which they called Zirakzigil - one of the three Mountains of Moria under which lay the realm of Khazad-dum. The tower was carved out of the living rock of the mountain and stood upon a high eyrie. The Endless Stair led to the tower from the foundations of the mountain.
By the end of the Third Age, Durin's Tower had long been lost. Some Dwarves believed it had been destroyed, while others thought it was only a legend. On January 23, T.A. 3019, Gandalf and the Balrog climbed the Endless Stair to Durin's Tower. Upon the Silvertine they fought the Battle of the Peak from January 23 to 25. During the battle, the tower was destroyed and the entrance to the stair was blocked.

New Vikings linebacker Desmond Bishop is loving life in Minnesota.
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — Desmond Bishop forgot for a moment the new teammates he's meeting, the new terminology he's learning and the new environment he's adjusting to.
That first practice with the Minnesota Vikings was satisfying simply for what it was. This linebacker was finally playing football again, his helmet buckled and his heart full.
"I felt like a kid in a candy store out there," Bishop said, following the first workout of training camp. "It's been almost a year since I lined up and just got in my stance and listened to the quarterback's cadence and called plays and covered somebody. So it's been a long time for me. I had so much fun."
Bishop's transition from Green Bay's 3-4 defense to the 4-3 scheme here, as well as his condition coming off the torn right hamstring that kept him out all of last season, will be among the most scrutinized developments of the year for Minnesota. He acknowledged the challenge of mastering so much information at once, having just joined the Vikings last month after offseason practices were finished. But the 29-year-old brushed off any concerns about being out of position or out of shape.
The 4-3? He played in that alignment his whole career until the Packers switched in 2009.
"Football is football," Bishop said.
His hamstring? He's been running full speed for more than two months, even though he didn't take part in any on-field workouts with Green Bay before being let go.
"I tested it as much as I possibly could. I'm 110 percent positive that it will hold up. So I have no fear. No limitations," Bishop said.
The easily taken-for-granted experience of putting on the pads again is what's on his mind. Beating the Packers, his former employer and now fierce rival, well, even that can wait.
"Maybe some games will be more important, honestly speaking, but I really circled every game. I'm that eager to play. To miss a whole year, I'm just excited to get back," Bishop said.
The Vikings are set at the strong side spot with Chad Greenway, who's starting his eighth season. Erin Henderson was moved to the middle this spring after free agency and the draft didn't yield a starting-caliber replacement there for Jasper Brinkley. So that left an opening at Henderson's prior position, the weak side. Bishop has been rotating there with veteran Marvin Mitchell and rookie Gerald Hodges, but that doesn't mean it's not his job to lose.
"He was a very good blitzer. He has some good athletic ability, and that's what we try to find in our outside backer guys," coach Leslie Frazier said. "And the ability to win one-on-one against halfbacks and fullbacks, but yet they're good in coverage as well and they can take on lead blockers. And he's shown that he can do that."
Henderson approached Bishop on Friday afternoon as the newbie spoke to reporters about his first practice with the Vikings, putting his arm around his new teammate.
"We're probably going to be best friends before it's all said and done," Henderson interrupted, before walking away.
Bishop had a built-in kinship already here with wide receiver Greg Jennings, the other free agent this season to leave the Packers for the Vikings. They're rooming together during training camp.
"We're definitely going to get closer as just teammates and as young men," Jennings said. "What he brings to the table is something we need. He's a guy who has experience. He knows how to do things. He knows how to go about winning."
Jennings was drafted by Green Bay in 2006, Bishop in 2007.
Naturally, with all they have to learn here and focus on, the conversation at times will drift into comparing and contrasting this camp at Minnesota State University with the one they left behind in Wisconsin. But the less they think about their time with the Packers, the better they'll be in position to succeed in purple.

Revision as of 16:45, 29 February 2012
Fun Factory 24
Venster Buttress, Table Mountain
About the steepest rock on the lower buttresses, at the far right of the Venster Buttress. Start about 3m right of Pappadum, directly under the apex of the roof system above. Has some wild moves and plenty of exposure.
Pitch 1 30m 20:
Climb up the face about 3m right of the featured arete, tending slightly right through a vague V-shaped recess (created by blocks on the prow) and then easily up to a stance about 5m below the roofs.
Pitch 2 20m 24:
Head up past a huge rectangular block and then rail about 2m right at the base of a roof until able to pull up into the corner. At the ceiling, traverse right over the void and pull up to next rail. Move further right and balance up to establish on a small platform. Finish up and slightly right to a ledge.
Walk off to the right to the India-Venster trail.

FFA: Richard Halsey and Jimbo Smith, 9 Feb 2012
Moonlight Direct 24
Arrow Buttress, Table Mountain
Start: From India Ravine traverse left under Arrow Buttress on the left for about 70m to get to the start of Fraser's Variation. About 20m further along come to a prominent blocky pinnacle that stands away from the face. This pinnacle is the start of the route. This route takes its name from the excellent traversing route Manoeuvres by Moonlight, through which it cuts a steep, sustained and direct line in improbable situations.
Start: At the front of the blocky pinnacle.
Pitch 1 30m 17:
Climb up the front of the blocky pinnacle to its flat top. Walk across to the face and head up smooth rock to reach a big ledge with huge overhanging roof. Belay 6m to the left where a seam leads up to the roof that is 3 or 4m above the ground.
Pitch 2 10m 23:
A handrail runs rightwards underneath the roof and ends in a break through the overhang on the right. Ease up the face at the back then rail out right using half a dozen cams to prevent ground fall potential. The rail is unrelenting with poor foot placements. At the break head up and slightly right on steep rock to reach a small ledge with a good rail on the left for making a hanging stance. It is necessary to keep the pitch short to prevent a possible ground fall for the second.
Pitch 3 30m 24:
Head directly up to the break in the first roof above. Move up and right through the break to reach a disappointing rail below the Manoeuvres by Moonlight rail. Continue up to Manoeuvres by Moonlight (excellent sharp rail) and trending right go through a few more overlaps. Pull through on small holds to get established on the vertical wall above. Head up and slightly left to reach a disappointing rail again. Overcome the bulge to get onto easy ground leading up to a good ledge below the next big roof.
Pitch 4 20m 24:
Off to the right is a huge overhanging nose that protrudes far out from the buttress. Head off to the right for 3 or 4 metres to reach a gully. Move up into the gully for 2m then using a decent rail head out right over space. Place two good large cams at the end of the rail! Using small edges, a small vertical fingertips lock and tiny flakes move up the overhanging wall to eventually reach a good rail to place gear (Need a strong-head day). Proceed directly up easy ground, about grade 19, to top out on the nose at a good ledge with a small tree.
Use the small tree to rappel off. Two 60m ropes get the party to the ground.
First ascent: Hilton Davies and Bruce Daniel, 19 March 2010
Left Hall-G1/2 on Lower (Arrow) Butress
Earlier ascents of this or similar lines have occurred but have not been written up. The route provides an nice straight line up steep rock. Unfortunatley while the second pitch provides fun climbing, the rock is rather vegitated. Hopefully more ascents will clean it up some what. The third pitch makes up for it, with great moves on an exposed wall. Start in obvious recess 10m right of the start of Fraser's Frontal.
Pitch 1 20m F2:
Starting at the wide crack, climb straight up clean rock, crossing two ledges to a stance beneath a roof, 4m left of the first stance on Fraser's
Pitch 2 40m F3:
Climb up to the roof, passing it on the right. Climb approx. 10m up the (mossy) wall above to a ledge. Above & to the right is a small overhang capped by a nose. This nose can be passed on the either side but it's more fun on the right. Climb diagonally right up the mossy wall until one reaches a prominent rail level with the 2nd stance of Frasers. Travers right to the same stance.
Pitch 3 35m G1/2:
Above is a shallow scoop running up the centre of the obviuos flat wall. A third of the way up the wall is a prominent arrow head flake (more solid than it looks !) Start beneath the flake, climbing diagonally leftward for about 5m before moving rightwards up to the flake. Climb onto the flake & then straight up the scoop above on small holds. Some small Camalots – around C3 # 0 – are very useful for this section. The wall is topped by a roof split by a hanging open book. Pull strenously up this to the top.

Sands Paces Bulldogs With 15 Points, Eight Rebounds
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Steve Gruber scored a career-high 15 points and Andrew McCarthy added 14 points and eight rebounds as Brown handed Yale a 75-66 loss in the Ivy League opener for both teams before an enthusiastic crowd of 1,683 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater. Michael Sands paced the Bulldogs with 15 points and eight rebounds.
Yale (6-12, 0-1 Ivy) made four more field goals (26 to 22) than Brown, but the Bears were 7-of-18 from three-point range and 24-of-29 from the foul line. The Bulldogs made just 3-of-18 treys and were 11-of-18 from the free throw line.
"Offensively, we got a lot of open shots that we've got to make," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "They packed in their defense and made it hard for us to get to the rim."
The Bulldogs had four players finish in double figures in scoring. Alex Zampier and freshman Michael Grace each had 14, while Jordan Gibson contributed 13.
Adrian Williams scored 12 points for the Bears and helped hold Zampier to four points below his season average. Matt Mullery, who leads Brown in scoring but was limited due to an ankle injury, had only five points, but contributed seven assists.
"We tried to help on [Mullery] too much," Jones said. "He was able to make plays for his teammates.
Brown (7-11, 1-0 Ivy) led for virtually the entire first half before the Bulldogs scored the final seven points, including a Grace three-pointer with five seconds left that gave Yale a 31-29 lead, its first since holding a 2-0 advantage.
The Bulldogs took their biggest lead of the game, 37-32, on Porter Braswell's layup early in the second half. The score was tied at 43-43 with 13:38 left, but the Bears used a 12-2 run, capped by a Gruber three-pointer, to seize control.
Yale got as close as three, 55-52, on Sands' jumper with 7:34 remaining, but Matt Sullivan answered immediately with a three-pointer, and Brown had the lead back to 12, 65-53, after McCarthy's layup with 2:42 left.
The Bears shot 48 percent (12-of-25) from the field in the second half.
The Bulldogs outrebounded Brown 38-36 and had six blocked shots.
The same two teams will meet again next Friday in Providence. Tipoff at the Pizzitola Center is slated for 7 p.m.

Difference between revisions of "Tehran"
Revision as of 04:54, 3 April 2013
Tehran (also spelled Teheran) (Persian: تهران), is the capital city of Iran. A bustling metropolis of 14 million people, it is situated at the foot of the towering Alborz mountain range.
Tehran is a cosmopolitan city, with great museums, parks, restaurants, warm friendly people. It deserves at least a few days of your Iranian itinerary.
The city can be roughly divided into two different parts - north and south. The northern districts of Tehran are more prosperous, modern, cosmopolitan and expensive while southern parts is less attractive but cheaper.
At the time of the Zand dynasty, it was a little town that was significant from a strategic point of view. The first of the Qajar kings, Agha Mohammed Khan, named Tehran as the country's capital in 1778, and most of its growth started during the reign of a subsequent Qajar monarch, Fath-Ali Shah. The castle which Agha Mohammed Khan had built was to contain the new majestic buildings.
At the same time, the city's populace was redoubled. Due to the increasing significance of the city, gates, squares and mosques were built and it was at the time of Nassereddin Shah that the city's master sketch was prepared and modern streets were constructed. Later, huge central squares like Toopkhaneh square (now Imam Khomeini) and quite a few military buildings were built. Even though the Qajar dynasty was in a period of decline, Tehran soon took the shape of a modern city. The structure of large government buildings, new streets, recreation centres, urban service organizations, and academic and methodical centres were started, even as most of the old gates and buildings were destroyed and the city's old architectural fabric replaced by a contemporary one.
Tehran has also earned itself the rather unenviable reputation as a smog-filled, traffic-clogged and featureless sprawl of concrete bursting at the seams with 14 million residents. But you can also find an endless number of nice and cosy places in and around the city - if you know where to look. Tehran is also a city of parks and possesses more than 800 of them, all well-kept. The city is nearly a mile high above sea level and as a result is cooler than other cities in the middle east. Summer temperatures are around 32°C or about 90-95°F. The air tends to be very dry.
A combination of factors make Tehran a pleasant place to visit: The dry climate which is constantly cool (at least in the evenings), the proximity of the mountains, the parks and gardens where flowers blossom all through the year, the alleys of trees in the avenues or even smaller streets, and even the water that runs down from the upper city along deep and wide gutters which look like small rivers during spring. The Alborz range on the north of Tehran, which hosts the highest peak in Iran, provides fantastic conditions for ski lovers in the winter. In winter, the mountain hotels and ski-clubs at Shemshak, and Dizine are full several days a week. Some specialist skiers consider the snow value in northern Tehran to be one of the most excellent in the world.
Get in
By plane
Imam Khomeini Airport is a significant improvement over Mehrabad and it is still only in International use. Be warned that it can take up to an hour and a half to get to the airport in bad traffic but if you book your departure early in the morning it can be much faster. Taxis are cheap and plentiful. A taxi to any destination in Tehran costs from 200,000 Rials for a local Samand car, or a few dollars more for Toyota Camry. You can also bargain with taxis who take passengers from Tehran to the Imam Khomeini airport because they usually have to go back to Tehran empty. You may be able to hire one to get to Tehran destinations such as Azadi square or the Metro Station for 20,000-30,000 rials. Bus services have recently been added from Mehrabad Terminal 5, and Behesh-e-Zahra (Haram-e-Motahhar) Metro Station to Imam Khomeini Airport. You may have to ask a few people about the service as it is relatively new and not well known yet.
Despite the warnings in some travel guides, there is no exit fee for foreign travelers, neither in Mehrabad nor in Imam Khomeini Airport. The exit fee applies to foreign travellers only when leaving Iran on land or by sea.
By train
Tehran has rail connections to other cities in Iran and neighboring countries. If traveling within Iran, train tickets should be bought outside the station, in travel agencies or through internet from Raja passenger train company [15] that is the passenger daughter company of Islamic Republic of Iran Railways (RAI) [16].
By car
Traffic is very congested but has improved with the completion of several new tunnels and highways (referred to as autobahns by the locals) across the city. You can drive in from Turkey fairly easily as well as from the Southern parts of Iran. Driving is often dangerous and seat belts should be worn at all times.
By bus
Almost every city and far-flung village in Iran has bus services to Tehran, as evidenced by the hundreds of buses that pour in and out of the capital each day. Most buses arrive to, or depart from one of four major bus terminals:
Get around
Getting around traffic-clogged, sprawling Tehran is a true test of patience. While taxis are your best bet, they are pricier here than the rest of the country. A large local bus network will also take you almost anywhere you need to go, as long you can make sense of the routes and Persian line numbers. The true star of Tehran's transport system however, is the brand new metro.
By bus
Tehran has an expansive but confusing bus network. Some require prepaid contactless card (min 5000 rials), which can be bought from booths beside the bus stops and Metro Stations used when you get off the bus, and some should be paid by cash (ranging from 1,000-4,000 rials). Note that the buses are partitioned in two sections, men-only (the front section) and women-only(the back section).
Note that in the BRT lines, the women-only section is at the front. Also, the fee is paid on the station, using the prepaid contactless card (shared with Metro), or paying to the guard.
Since bus numbers, route descriptions and other information is in Persian, your best bet is to look confused at a bus terminal; a local will surely stop to help. Each bus line has a certain and almost invariable path but only people know exactly which bus stations exist for a certain road. You shouldn't expect a map or guides even in Persian showing the bus network or bus stations. Even asking the bus driver wouldn't be a great help for you to find your way either. If you get in a bus and looking for a certain station to alight, ask one to help you - you will find many people wish to help you to find your way, most of the time.
BRT (Bus Rapid Transportation)
The BRT buses are colored in red. BRTs has special lines and travels very quickly from Azadi square (west of Tehran) directly to the East (Terminal-e-Shargh). Railway square (South of Tehran) directly to the North (Tajrish square). Azadi square to free university(northwest). Azadi square to south Terminal and parkway bridge(north of tehran) to jomhuri square. Costs between 1,000-3,000 rials. In high-traffic hours (7AM-9AM & 4PM-8PM) it is the best way to traveling . BRT has too many stations near main streets. Although you may not find an empty seat on the bus because of the crowds, people give their place to you if they know you are a tourist. The women's and men's seats and queues are separate.
By metro
Tehran's new metro system [17] is comprised of three lines that will whisk you quickly from one end of the city to the other without having to deal with the noise, pollution and chaos of Tehrani traffic. However, many residents decided to leave their cars and commute by metro, so expect huge crowds during rush hours.
There are four lines (numbered strangely 1, 2, 4 and 5) but the two most useful are lines 1 (north to south- currently from Qeytariyeh Station to Haram-e-Motahar Station) and 2 (east to west) which connect at the central Imam Khomeini station. All stations have signs in both Persian and English. Trains run every 10 minutes or less on rush hours (15 minutes on Fridays and holidays) from around 5:30AM-11PM every day. line1(red line) recently extended northward to Tajrish station and southward to Kahrizak station. line4(yellow line) recently extended eastward to Kolaahduz station and westward to Azadi Station.
Tickets are valid for 1 or 2 trips (including change of lines) and cost 3,500 or 5,500 rials respectively. There are ticket booths at every station. You can also buy a contactless fare card which is the best option if you are going to use metro a lot, or simply want to have less hassle by paying 20,000 rials for a card and use it on both metro and some city buses (note that if you use this card, you usually pay less than any other tickets, since they charge for the longest trip on the network). There are two dedicated women-only carriages at one end of the train. Women can anyway choose to travel aboard the other carriages.
By taxi
As with the rest of the country private and shared taxis are abound in Tehran, although you may find flagging down a shared taxi more difficult amid the traffic and chaos, while private taxis are more expensive than in the smaller cities. See the Get Around information on Iran for details on flagging a taxi. If you want to get around by shared taxi, your best bet is to hop from square to square, as drivers will be reluctant to pick you up if your shouted destination deviates too far from their route. In each square you will find certain places where the private taxis are lined up in a queue and drivers call for passengers to a destination. (mostly happening during the times when the number of waiting taxis exceeds the number of passengers). In this case, they would wait until the car gets full of passengers (mostly one people at front and 3 people at back, excluding the driver). Otherwise the people have to line up in a queue waiting for the taxis to come. This is the case during rush hours (approximately 7AM-8AM and 5PM-8PM). All these depend upon finding their regular station in the square. You can also ask them to alight sooner than your destination wherever you like but you have to pay their total fee up to destination. The cost of such a ride from Azadi square to Vanak Square is around 10,000 rails (1000 Tomans) for each person. Most drivers are very poor at English though.
Motorcycle taxis are a Tehran specialty and offer a way to weave quickly through the city's traffic-clogged streets. You'll see plenty of these drivers standing at the side of the road calling "motor" at all who pass by. Keep in mind motor taxi operators can seem even more suicidal than the average Tehran driver when driving. Agree on a price before you take off and expect to pay slightly less than chartering a private taxi.
Airport taxis can be difficult to find and even the most expensive hotels provide poor quality vehicles. Airport Seiro Safar Co. has a fleet of yellow-greenish cars (Toyota Camry, Samand) which are both new and comfortable. You can call or email them in advance of your trip to/from the airport and reduce the discomfort and inconvenience that the long trek out to the airport can cause. The fee is the same for any source/destination in Tehran to/from Imam Khoemini Aiport varies from 250,000-400,000 rials depending on the car; Samand the least expensive and Camry the most expensive). In order to prevent any request for more than the official fee, tell the driver that you need a receipt before getting on the car.
The Golestan (Rose Garden) citadel is one of mainly visited places in Tehran, which was the Qajars' royal residence, and its garden is an oasis of coolness and peace in the heart of the city. The major building, architecturally unpretentious, houses a museum with objects from the Qajar period in the self-important style of last century. In the Golestan garden, a one-story pavilion to the right and a short distance from the entrance, shelters one of the best organized museums in Tehran. It encloses about thirty showcases presenting almost everything related to Iran, which makes up the critical originality of Iranian life in the a variety of provinces of the country.
A1one (aka Alonewriter, tanha) graffitis and street art works are a sort of interesting stuff in Tehran's Urban Space. A famous local graffiti artist is currently at the centre of controversy about whether his work is art or vandalism, and you can see his early works on the Tehran-Karaj Expressway, on the southern side walls UP in Ekbatan and Apadana districts. A more recent work of stencil art is located at the entrance of the Saba Art Institute.
It is easy to find work in Tehran, but you must have a university diploma to be applicable for good jobs. Although there is some inflation, many of the people in Tehran have good and well paying jobs. Like every other big developing world city, there's a big difference between poor and rich.
For information on Iranian currency go to the country page.
You can exchange your currency in most banks for a small commission after filling out between two and five forms. But generally the exchanged rate in banks which is defined by the government is much less than the rate used in exchange offices, it is much advisable to go to one of these offices which could be mostly (but not only) on Ferdosi St that begins from Imam Khomeini Square. All will give you a good rate but some might give slightly less than the official rate or claim a commission. Just say no and go to the next one. It is advised to check the exchange rate on the internet.
Do not exchange your money with one of the many individuals offering to exchange along Ferdosi St. It is a lot more risky and illegal.
Those looking to stock up on computer software (copied, but legal thanks to Iran's refusal to sign up to the Bern Convention) can start looking at the computer bazaar on the corner of Vali-e-Asr Ave and Enghelab Ave., Bazar-e-Reza, or Bazar-e-Iran. Just remember that importing these CDs into any country that is a signatory to the Convention may be a criminal offence.
You can also try "Paytakht Computer Complex" at intersection of Vali-e-Asr and Mirdamad, a 7-story modern complex filled with computer equipments but also latest pirated copies of every software imaginable. The prices at "bazaar reza" (at charrah-e-vali-asr) are usually less. In both these malls you also may find individual hardware parts. You may find some famous hardware brands really cheap but you should be careful not to buy the fake one. It is hard to distinguish the original one. Sometimes even the fake one would work quite well comparing to its cheap price.
To save even more money you can buy one of those software packages . For example you can buy "King of the Programs" with about 70,000 rials . This is a 5 or 6 CD package of compressed programs which contains almost any well-known software you can imagine .
Jewellery & Gold boutiques located in Geisha, Milade Noor, Karim Khaan St. Golds, gems, and diamonds. To buy very good gold jewellery may costs around 3,000,000 toman minimum, equivalent to $1,400-1,500.
Designers bags and shoes such as Gucci, Versace,Dior, Armani in Golestan shopping centre & Milade noor.
Visit the Bazar, very appropriate for shopping. It ranges from cheap things to very expensive luxury things. You can find almost anything in Bazar, from clothing to carpets, kitchen accessories, decoratings, jewellery.... When in the Bazar, don't miss out the 'Sharafol-eslam' restaurant located in the Bazar. It is very famous for its kebabs and chickens, excellent food, excellent quality, you'll never have enough. It gets really crowded though, which requires some patience.
There are also numerous shopping malls in the city. Valiasr Street and Tajrish Square (also includes a traditional bazaar) are two of the many locations full of shopping centres in Tehran.
Sarcheshmeh Crossroad. Beside Keshavarzi Bank.
For all you coffee-starved travellers through Iran (or the soon to be coffee-starved if Tehran is your first port of call in the country) you'll be glad to find the string of coffee shops on the south side of Jomhuriyeh Eslami Ave, a couple of hundred metres west of Ferdosi St. You can stock up on coffee beans and related paraphernalia, or even sample a cup for 4,000 rials. There is also a well-known, but small coffee shop called Hot Chocolate - they stock cigars and a number of European cigarettes as well. This coffee shop is on occasion, a meeting place for some of Iran's sporting elite.
A few doors west of these shops is a delightful coffee shop next to Hotel Naderi. They serve coffee, tea and pastries to a mix of Tehran's intelligentsia and bohemian elite. It's a great place to sit and watch hip young guys eyeing gossiping girls while old men reminisce about the "good ol' days" under the Shah.
Coffee shops (called "coffeeshop" in Persian, versus "ghaveh-khane" (literally, coffee house) which instead means a tea house) have become especially popular in the affluent North, so if need, a visit to the White Tower (Borj-e Sefid) along Pasdaran Ave, or any other mall in the area should suffice. These coffee shops can also be very appealing to tourists interested in watching how young, affluent locals deviously bend the government regulations on contact between the sexes. Definitely worth a visit if in the area- try "White Rose" in the White Tower.
Amir Kabir Street a grubby street filled with car-repair shops near Imam Khomeini square offers accommodation options for the budget-minded.
Check with your phone company if they have agreements with Iranian mobile operators.
One very good one is purchasing a regular telephone card for local calls and then the Pars Net international telephone card. It offers international calls to anywhere in the world at the comparatively cheap price of 1,500 rials/minute and with the regular phone card you can use it from any of the abundant public phones or the phone at your hotel. TMobile UK and all Turkish mobile operators has roaming in Iran.
Note: the internet is heavily censored, and most international newspapers and social networking sites are blocked in Tehran. For example you cannot access your facebook page or twitter unless you use an antifilter software. Yahoo Mail and Gmail should still be accessible within the country.
Stay safe
Tehran is still relatively one of the safest cities to travel through, particularly considering its size and security. Common sense and the usual precautions against pickpockets in bazaars and crowds should ensure your visit is hassle free.
Even late at the mid-night it is safe in most parts of the city while you will find the city still crowded. It is advisable not to take a private taxi for instance at 2AM.
The fake police that target Esfahan's tourists have also found their way to Tehran in recent years. These are usually uniformed men in unmarked cars flashing phoney IDs are requesting to see you passport or search your luggage. It goes without saying that you should just ignore such requests and head to the nearest police station if you feel unsafe. The trouble is that it can be a little hard for the untrained tourist eye to tell these from the real police.
The traffic in Tehran is very dangerous and should be considered some of the worlds worst. Try to cross the street when the locals do. At first it looks impossible but the drivers do a very good job to avoid pedestrians even though they drive crazy.
Gay and lesbian travellers should be extremely careful when travelling to Tehran due to strict and harsh regulations on homosexual activity. Iran justice has death penalty for homosexuals, even teenagers.
Exercising extreme caution in public is the key thing to remember, and in fact, it is mandatory to abstain from any kind of intimacy even for heterosexual couples, but it doesn't mean you cannot hold hands.
It is also recommended, even for westerners and non-Muslim women, to wear a head scarf or veil, on their head, when exiting their apartment or hotel rooms.
If you decide to smoke the qalyan (waterpipe), make sure that you are not smoking opium or other kinds of drugs if you don't intend to do it. Although drugs and alcohol are illegal in Iran, it is not impossible to obtain them, especially in Tehran. Since the Iranian government decided to ban the qalyan and cigarettes in public places, it is a bit difficult to find a decent place for smoking.
And if you really want to try the qalyan, you can expect to find this in dodgy places.
The traffic in Tehran is horrendous. To get a break from it head to the parks in the north of the city.

WORCESTER, Mass. – After playing No. 6 WPI close for most of the game, the MIT men's basketball team saw the Engineers pull away late on their home court to take a 65-59 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference win. MIT trailed by just four with two minutes left, but WPI outscored MIT, 10-8, in the final two minutes to hold off the Engineers and remain undefeated. Senior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) had a game-high 19 points to lead MIT, while Ryan Kolb led WPI with 18.
Kates hit a pair of free throws with two minutes left that cut MIT's deficit to four at 55-51. But MIT (12-4, 3-2 NEWMAC) missed its next four field goal attempts and WPI (18-0, 5-0 NEWMAC) took advantage, as Sam Longwell hit a jump shot and a pair of free throws the Engineers scored six straight to open up a 10-point advantage with just 35 seconds left. Kates hit his only two threes of the game in the final 29 seconds, but WPI hit on 8-of-9 free throws down the stretch to keep MIT at bay.
Cold shooting hampered MIT all day as the Engineers hit on just 34 percent of their shots, including missing their first 12 attempts of the game. WPI was nearly as cold, however, hitting just one of its first eight attempts. As a result the first points of the game did not come until four minutes had gone by when Kolb hit a jump shot. MIT's first points did not come until over two minutes later on a free throw by Kates, but with WPI struggling on offense as well, MIT went on to tie the contest at 2-2 on a free throw by sophomore Paul Dawson (Stone Mountain, Ga.).
Sophomore Andrew Acker (Merion Station, Pa.) then came off the bench to provide a spark to the MIT offense, converting a three-point play that put MIT up 5-2 at 13:08. MIT continued to hang on to the lead at the midway point of the half after a layup by Dawson put the Engineers up 9-6. Aaron Davis tied it with a three for WPI and it remained close for the rest of the half. Acker hit another shot at 4:03 that put MIT up 20-19, but WPI came back to outscore the Engineers 7-3 for the rest of the half to take a 26-23 advantage into the locker room.
Another three by Davis at the start of the second half started a 7-0 run for WPI that resulted in a 33-23 lead after a layup by Kolb. WPI maintained its advantage, and with 10:53 left Kolb connected on a trey that made it 46-37.
MIT then made its move, holding WPI to just a pair of Kolb free throws over a six-minute stretch. Kates hit a jump shot and then a pair of free throws that cut the WPI lead to five. After Kolb's free throws, sophomore Matt Redfield (Los Altos, Calif.) scored five points in a 30-second span, converting a three-point play and then hitting two more free throws as the Engineers pulled within a pair at 48-46 with 5:24 left. Kates kept MIT within two with a layup a minute later, but Marco Coppola hit a key three-point basket for WPI with 2:20 left that pushed the Engineers back to a six-point lead and setting up the final two minutes of the contest.
Redfield and senior Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) also reached double figures for MIT, with each netting 10 points. Redfield just missed a double-double, helping MIT to a 38-31 advantage on the boards with nine rebounds. Kolb was one of four players in double figures for WPI, with Davis finishing with 14 and Coppola and Longwell each scoring 10. Kolb, Coppola and Zach Karalis all had five rebounds to lead WPI, with Coppola adding six steals to his totals.
MIT will remain on the road for its next game as it travels to Clark University on Wednesday, January 23 for a 7:00 p.m. NEMWAC game with the Cougars. WPI will host Springfield College in a battle for sole possession of first place in the NEWMAC standings on Wednesday as well, with the two teams putting their undefeated conference marks on the line in a 5:30 p.m. contest.

Cruise back in Puerto Rico after engine troubles
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A Royal Caribbean cruise ship has arrived back in Puerto Rico after experiencing engine trouble at sea.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez says the Adventure of the Seas was on a seven-day trip when the crew noticed an oil leak during a stop in St. Kitts. Martinez says the crew erected booms to prevent additional oil from leaking and took one of the ship's three engines off line for the remainder of the 7-day journey.
That prompted the ship to run more slowly than usual and forced the line to cancel a stop in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The ship with more than 3,400 passengers returned Sunday to San Juan. The ship was scheduled for dry-dock repairs this month, and its upcoming schedule won't be affected.

Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen dumped cold water on hopes for a strong "upfront" ad sales session when the talks begin next week. She thinks the overall market for prime time broadcast TV will be down anywhere from 2% ($8.79 billion) to 14% ($7.73 billion) from the $8.9 billion spent last year.
There's been a ton of posturing from CBS (CBS), Disney (DIS) and News Corp. (NWS) about the high prices they're getting for ads this spring in the so-called "scatter" market of remnant ads. Their conclusion is that it means the upfront -- where 80% of TV ad inventory for the coming year is sold -- will also be strong.
Not so, says Cohen. Ad rates may be up as much as 4% from last year, but because ratings are so low, the overall money in the market will be way down, even if demand is strong.
Who's going to get hit hardest?
best case: $2.2 billion -3%
worst case: $1.93 billion -15%
best case: $2.35 billion -2%
worst case: $2.05 billion -15%
best case: $1.78 billion -1%
worst case: $1.57 billion -13%
best case: $1.85 billion +2%
worst case: $1.59 billion -12%

Ahh Wrestlemania. It seems like only a year ago we took a look at some of the facts and figures of Wrestlemania past. Oh wait, it was a year ago.
In any case, this year's edition of "the granddaddy of them all"
emanates from the historic Madison Square Garden, the birthplace of them all.
It's almost unbelievable to imagine that there have been twenty of these shows,
but lo and behold here we are at the 20th incarnation of the show.
In honour of the 20th anniversary, here are 20 facts and figures of Wrestlemania.
Jon Waldman has been with SLAM! Wrestling since 2000 and has been with the

Virtual Iron releases version 4.0
Chops away at VMware's feature list
Virtual Iron has put out a new release of its server virtualization software, chipping away at the gap between VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 — at a price palatable to the low end of the market.
Version 4.0 of the company's software builds from the latest version of XenSource's hypervisor, adds support for SLES 10 kernel and drivers, and features new management and migration capabilities.
The update uses the latest 64-bit Xen 3.1 open source hypervisor and integrates support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 kernel and drivers. This approach differs from VMware, which uses a complete OS in its hypervisor. To ease the burden of those inexperienced managing a server through SUSE, Virtual Iron has added a web-based GUI interface.
Operating system support has been extended to include Windows Vista, Windows 2000 and Red Hat Linux. Version 4 also adds SMP Windows support for up to eight virtual CPUs. The release features new production capabilities such as physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual migration to its enterprise editions.
As before, Virtual Iron concedes a free license to customers using its software on a single four-socket (unlimited cores) server. With the gratis package, users can create up to 12 virtual servers.
After the taste, however, customers move up to the Enterprise Edition at $499 per socket. Ponying up allows the creation of an unlimited number of virtual servers, local, iSCSI, fibre channel storage, access to the Novell kernel, and opens up various maintenance features.
Virtual Iron has added another notch up in the feature ladder with a $799 per socket Extended Enterprise Edition. This version gives customers everything in the regular enterprise edition, but features capacity-management and disaster-recovery tools. The package contains LiveConvert, an automated migration utility from PlateSpin for workloads across physical, virtual, blade and image-based infrastructure in any direction.
In addition, the company expects Virtual Iron 4 to get a hearty bump in performance with upcoming Caneland platform of multi-core chips from Intel.
Virtual Iron 4 will be generally available on September 10. ®

Re: how does innate immunity link to b-cell and t-cell responses
helpmeplz wrote:i know what innate immunity is but i don't get how it links to b and t cell responses. plz help
Firstly Defence mechanisms are split in 2:
1. Innate (non specific) Defence mechanisms
(Phagocytosis, fever, inflammation, natural killer cells, complement proteins)
2. Adaptive (specific) Defence mechanisms also known as IMMUNITY.
So immunity is really only PART of the body's defence mechanisms- the part that targets SPECIFIC pathogens or foreign particles.
The body has a natural barrier- the skin - a thick, continuous, keratinised barrier that protects it from patogens. Natural openings are protected by mucus secretions and ciliated epithelia.
If the above barriers are penetrated the body first responds with innate (non-specific) defence mechanisms mentioned above.
If the non-specific mechanisms prove to be insufficient, the body responds with adaptive defence mechanisms (immunity). Immunity is the second line of defence after phagocytosis and is defined as the ability to recognise a SPECIFIC forgien bodyand destroy it with great speed and effectiveness
There are 2 types of immunity:
1. Humoral Immunity (B-cells make antibodies. These antibodes are made to have receptors that recognise specific antigens on the pathogen and lead to it's destruction (usually by the action of phagocytes but thats not imporatant )
2. Cellular Immunity (T-cells destroy infected body cells and tumour cells by lethal hit)
B-cells and T-cells are both lymphocytes made in the bone marrow. The thymus gland is essential in the development of T-cells.

Mix & Match: Making the Most of Reorgs & Downsizing
With job cuts leveling off, corporations find themselves trying to make sense of those left after the dust has settled. Job descriptions have evolved and been altered to absorb the responsibilities of the employees that were part of any reductions in force. More with less has been the theme of many an organization over the past few years. Now that things are shifting into a steady mode, how do you take the current employees and positions and create a new "normal"? The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has some ideas on how to figure that out.Read More

Rochester Institute of Technology professor Hossein Shahmohamad has been recognized by the Mathematics Association of America Seaway Section for his excellence in teaching mathematics at the post-secondary level.
Shahmohamad, professor in the RIT School of Mathematical Sciences, won the 2013 Clarence F. Stephens Distinguished Teaching Award at the spring meeting of the section. He received a certificate and an invitation to speak.
The award makes Shahmohamad the regional nominee for the national association's Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. The national awardees are recognized at the annual January meeting with a certificate and $1,000.
"Considering the size of the SEAWAY Section and the universities that it includes, it is truly humbling to be selected for this award," said Shahmohamad, a past chair of the MAA Seaway Section. "I know of so many deserving faculty members at RIT and others universities in the section who should be recognized for their dedication and excellence to teaching. What we all have in common is a strong commitment to our students' success and future."
Shahmohamad is a 2008–2009 recipient of the RIT Richard and Virginia Eisenhart Award for Excellence in Teaching.

The Mystery of Ron Paul's Collapsing Eyebrow
Okay, sorry, this post probably should have been tagged "NSFW" due to the large image of an old man's melting face. But let's move beyond courtesies: Was Ron Paul's eyebrow collapsing during Tuesday's debate? This image appears to show a fake eyebrow just stone cold fallin' off.
But perhaps it was something else! Here's the official line from the campaign, as solicited by the New York Times:
Jesse Benton, a campaign spokesman, insisted that Mr. Paul had been the victim of the elements, namely a heavy pollen season in New Hampshire, and called accusations that he'd been artificially enhancing "stupid" and "insulting."
"Dr. Paul's allergies acted up a touch," Mr. Benton said in an explanation that might raise some, you know, questions.
That doesn't make much sense. What kind of horrible allergy causes your eyebrow to melt off? Pollen, schmollen. It would have to be something much more powerful. Let's search the full photo for any clues:
Ahhhhh. It was Newt Gingrich's rancid stink-breath that did the trick. Perfectly understandable, case closed. [via Daily Intel, image via AP]

This season, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers will treat their fans to a brand new in-game experience at Webster Bank Arena.
That's because the arena is rolling out a multitude of new features, highlighted by a giant high-definition scoreboard hanging over center ice. The Daktronics scoreboard stands 30x16 ft., with six-millimeter pixels, and is complemented by a Sony HD system. Sound Tigers President Howard Saffan says the new scoreboard, as well as the accompanying ribbon board that wraps around the top of the lower bowl, completely enhances the fan experience at Webster Bank Arena.
"The center-hung scoreboard brings state-of-the-art technology into our 10,000 seat arena," Saffan said. "The board is one of the largest center-hungs for an arena this size in the country. The Sony HD system brings life to it. Additionally, the ribbon board around the perimeter of the arena is over 800 linear feet. It completely changes the experience at Webster Bank Arena."
The scoreboard above center ice debuts on Sunday when the Sound Tigers take on the Connecticut Whale. It will feature live game video, in addition to statistics, entertaining videos and other information to bring the fans closer to the action. For fans looking to compare the new scoreboard to another they may have already seen, Saffan points out that there really is none like it, and they need to visit Webster Bank Arena and see for themselves.
"The quality of the picture is unlike any in the New York metropolitan area," Saffan said. "The last building to be furnished with a center-hung scoreboard anywhere near this size was CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Their scoreboard is 25 feet wide and ours is 30. The latest, greatest in the NHL doesn't hold a candle to our venue."
The scoreboard isn't the only new feature at Webster Bank Arena for the 2012-13 season. The fourth floor features the "Stags Club," sponsored by nearby Fairfield University. The club holds 300-350 people and is adorned with maple paneling and granite countertops.
A conference room has been added to the suite level, available to all suite holders, which seats 24 people and overlooks the Ballpark at Harbor Yard next door. In early 2013, the arena will also add an Irish Pub, which will accommodate more than 250 people from both the inside and outside of the building.
These new features make Webster Bank Arena one of the most exciting places to experience a hockey game or concert. With an in-arena experience rivaling that of most state-of-the-art NHL buildings, fans at Webster Bank Arena can get closer to the Sound Tigers than ever before

London: David Beckham has played down reports linking him with a move to AS Monaco, after the club`s chief executive Tor-Kristian Karlsen stated that the club would be "foolish" not to explore the opportunity of signing him.
Speculation has been rife over the former England captain`s future after he revealed that he would be leaving LA Galaxy following this weekend`s MLS final, with his contract expiring.
But after being linked with a host of clubs, Beckham revealed that he has not spoken with the French club, or the New York Cosmos, a club currently in the American second division.
"I`ve been hearing the Cosmos thing for the last two or three years," Beckham told reporters. "No, it`s not true. My manager has not had conversations on that side. That`s definitely not true.
"I heard the Monaco thing on the way to training this morning from my friend in London. He said, `Are you going to Monaco?` That was the first I heard of that."
The French side were relegated in 2011 following 35 years in Ligue 1 and chief executive Karlsen believes that signing someone with the reputation of Beckham would help restore his side to their former glory.
"We are happy with our current squad," the official, whose side are currently top of the French second tier, told BBC Sport.
"But if there`s a chance to get a player of Beckham`s stature, we`d be foolish not to explore it. Right now we`re trying to learn if Beckham`s future ambitions are in sync with ours.
"I understand he`s high in demand but it`s natural for a player with his experience and quality. Let`s see what the next few weeks bring.
"It`s a privilege to be linked with world-renowned players like Beckham. We`re an ambitious club and our president is committed to bringing the club back to where it used it be - to the elite of French football.
"To achieve such a goal we have to keep an open mind when experienced and extraordinarily talented footballers become available."

T-Shirt Mini Dress
Added Feb 17, 2011
by dixiediy
Austin, Texas, U...
I made this loose fitting mini dress from some awesome brown striped knit fabric that I bought. I wanted a simple jersey mini dress that I could dress up or down. Originally I tried long sleeves but I like the 3/4 length better. I love the big scoop neck. You could wear a lacy cami and have the lace peep out from the top. You could also wear it with or without a belt.
Let me know if you make your own version with the pattern. I really appreciate feedback!

I just bought a new overlocker and I think this pattern is the right one to try my very first jersey project.

I love the simplicity of the accessories! Surprising how they work so well together… I really like the length of the sleeves two! good job! :)

I think that this pattern looks perfect for my wardrobe, but even though I'm an intermediate-ish sewer… I must admit that I'm deathly afraid to sew with knits!!! I just worry that I'll "stretch out" the knit at the seams so that the cut of the dress ends up being warped! But I'm willing to try it out with this pattern. Any pointers?

In short, I love this pattern!

thanks for your mini-t pattern. I wear what used to be called dorm shirts, around the house. Being short and having a drooping belly, the regular lengths don't cover me. This will give me a point from which to star when re-drafting your pattern. Cordially, Nehmah One question, about how tall are you? I am a miserable 5ft, 3 inches (I've lost another 1.5 inches!) I was 5ft, 6in ten years ago. Grrr!

I'm 5' 6" and as you can see the dress as it is hits about mid thigh but you can easily alter the pattern to be longer or shorter. Good luck!

The panels are quite proud of the clear on the body of the vase. Likely more than any other ACB piece I have seen. On a side note, I looked at the surface of the clear glass with a strong loop and the quality of the cutback work is quite good, showing fewer remnants of the ACB process than most pieces I have seen.
The panels on the brandy you posted are amazingly similar to the work on this vase.

Proper Yoga Pants
Added Jan 11, 2013
Elmira Heights, ...
When I saw the Jersey Trouser pattern, I was curious. I don't think the photos of the model are that flattering but I'm happy with how mine came out. I scrounged around my mother's stash and found this brown/purple sparkle fabric with a slight stretch that turned out to be perfect for the project.
I ignored the pockets because who needs pockets for yoga? I like being able to pull them up and they're super comfy. The only issue I had was that the smallest size was still too big for me. I had to take in the waist and shorten the legs a little.
Some people advise to get cute workout gear for motivation…I think these pants are helping already!

Justin Grimm pitches seven scoreless innings: 'I want to prove I belong'
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Justin Grimm is making the most of his opportunity with the Texas Rangers.
Grimm pitched seven shutout innings to win his second consecutive start and the Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Friday night for their seventh victory in eight games.
Filling in for injured starter Matt Harrison, the 24-year-old Grimm allowed five hits, struck out four and walked none. The right-hander pitched six innings of two-run ball in an 11-3 victory over Seattle on Sunday.
Grimm's solid outing against Minnesota came one night after fellow rookie Nick Tepesch held the Twins to just one run.
"They have certainly been guys in our organization we've had a spotlight on, and because of the injuries opportunity presented itself," manager Ron Washington said. "We expect them to step up because they can pitch. I'm not going to sit here and say we knew exactly what we were going to get, but we knew they weren't afraid."
Lance Berkman, Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler each had an RBI double for the Rangers, who finished with 13 hits. Adrian Beltre hit a solo homer in the sixth inning.
Joe Ortiz started the ninth for Texas, but was pulled allowing a pair of hits and striking out Chris Parmelee. Joe Nathan struck out Trevor Plouffe before rookie Oswaldo Arcia hit a three-run homer to get the Twins within one.
Nathan then got Ryan Doumit to fly out to earn his eighth save.
Grimm (2-0) and Tepesch have been solid since Texas lost Colby Lewis to right elbow surgery and Harrison was sidelined by an inflamed nerve in his lower back. The two have combined to go 4-1 with a 2.11 ERA this season.
"They know they have the potential to get guys out and that's what they're doing," shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "We trust in every guy who comes here and pitches. Either here or minor leagues, our mentality is to be ready."
Minnesota's biggest threat against Grimm came in the first inning when Joe Mauer reached on a throwing error by second baseman Kinsler and Justin Morneau hit a two-out double to put runners on second and third. But Parmelee flied out to end the inning.
The Twins managed just four baserunners the next seven innings.
"(Grimm) did a really nice job and kept us off balance," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "A couple times when we did get some men out there he made big pitches when he had to. Hopefully we'll heat up here as an offense. We've been a little inconsistent."
With Lewis not expected to return until the end of May, Grimm relishes outings like Friday as he aims to prevent a return trip to Triple-A Round Rock.
"I just want to pitch for this team, whether it's in the rotation or not," Grimm said. "I want to prove that I belong here. That's the whole idea."
Scott Diamond (1-2) gave up three runs and 12 hits in 6 1-3 innings as the Twins lost their third straight and were shut out for the second time this season.
Texas took an early lead on consecutive one-out doubles by Andrus and Berkman in the first inning. Berkman then scored on a two-out double from Cruz, who has driven in at least one run in six straight games and 13 total during that stretch.
Cruz's six-game RBI streak matches Cincinnati's Todd Frazier and Detroit's Prince Fielder for the longest in the major leagues this season.
