Cards beat Pirates in 5 hr, 14 inning game; move to within 2
Backup outfielder Adron Chambers singled home the winning run in the 14th inning as the Cardinals outlasted the Pittsburgh Pirates and cut into their NL Central lead with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night.
Sam Freeman (1-0) allowed a walk in a scoreless 14th for the Cardinals, who saddled the Pirates with their fourth straight loss and pulled within two games of them with a win in the 4-hour, 55-minute game.
Pittsburgh had four hits the first time through the order against Adam Wainwright and led 3-0 after two innings on homers by Andrew McCutchen and Jordy Mercer. They had six hits the rest of the way.
Both teams had chances in extra innings before the Cardinals, who had dropped four of five, cashed in.
Jon Jay singled off Jared Hughes (2-3) with one out in the 14th with his fourth hit. Jay stole second and then raced home and beat left fielder Starling Marte's throw.
Burnett flirts with no-no, Bucs beat Cardinals 5-0
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A.J. Burnett took a no-hitter into the seventh inning nearly 12 years after throwing the only one of his career, pitching the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.
Burnett (1-2) lost his bid with two outs in the seventh on Carlos Beltran's double to right-center. That was the lone hit given up by the 36-year-old right-hander in seven dominant innings.
The only other runner he allowed came when he hit Daniel Descalso with a 2-2 pitch with one out in the sixth to end his shot at a perfect game. Burnett struck out eight to raise his season total to 35 in 24 innings.
His bid for a no-hitter came on a night when he recorded the 2,000th strikeout of his 15-year career. Burnett reached the milestone when he caught Beltran looking to lead off the second.
Cardinals-Pirates game rained out after 2 innings
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Jake Westbrook still hasn't figured out the Pittsburgh Pirates.
For a day anyway, it didn't matter.
Pittsburgh roughed up the St. Louis Cardinals veteran righthander with four first-inning runs on Tuesday, but a violent thunderstorm storm hit at the end of the second inning and the game was called following a delay of 1 hour, 24 minutes with the Pirates leading 4-2. No makeup date was immediately announced.
Westbrook began the night looking for his 100th career win facing a team he is just 1-7 against. Those numbers didn't appear to get any better after the Pirates turned five consecutive singles into four runs.
The cancellation Westbrook to reset his ERA to this season 0.00 and buy him some time to get a handle on the Pirates.
"It was just one of those things that I wasn't as sharp as I needed to be," Westbrook said.
Westbrook added it's a little strange his nemesis is a team that isn't exactly known for its firepower.
"I wish I could put my finger on it," he said. "I think I had this conversation last year ... it's not like we don't face these guys again. I've got to do my work to figure out what I need to do to get these guys out. I've got to make better pitches."
Manager Mike Matheny said there are no plans to alter the rotation despite the cancellation. Westbrook's next scheduled start is Sunday in Philadelphia. After that Westbrook would face the Pirates in St. Louis on April 27.
Pittsburgh starter Jonathan Sanchez - who came in with a 12.96 ERA - allowed two runs in the first inning but retired the side in order in the second.
Matt Holliday had an RBI single for St. Louis. Garrett Jones, Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez all had RBI singles for Pittsburgh. None of it will count, however, and the game will be replayed in its entirety.
The cancellation allows Pittsburgh's depleted bullpen to get a needed day of rest. The Pirates called up reliever Vin Mazzaro from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday for some help after starter James McDonald managed to get through just 1 1-3 innings in a 10-6 loss to the Cardinals on Monday, forcing long relievers Justin Wilson and Bryan Morris to work a combined 6 1-3 innings.
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle hoped Sanchez - who made the team out of spring training as a non-roster invitee - would be able work deep enough to get to the setup guys. It hasn't been the best start to the season for the left-hander. He was roughed up by Arizona in his previous start, allowing nine runs in 3 1-3 innings.
It looked like more of the same in the first inning Tuesday. St. Louis spring training star Shane Robinson made his first start of the season and walked on four pitches to start the game. Carlos Beltran followed with a single two pitches later and Holliday dumped Sanchez's next offering into center, bringing home Robinson.
Allen Craig lined out to shortstop Clint Barmes, but the typically solid Barmes made his second error in as many days when his attempt to double off Beltran at second ended up in right field.
Beltran moved to third and then scored on Yadier Molina's grounder to first.
Westbrook began the night 2-0 with zero earned runs charged to him in 15 2-3 innings this season. It didn't take long for Pittsburgh to break through.
Jose Tabata singled with one out, the first of five straight singles by the Pirates. A rare gaffe by the St. Louis defense helped. With runners on first and third and one out, Russell Martin hit a chopper back to the mound and Westbrook threw to second to try and start a double play. Second baseman Matt Carpenter was late covering and was charged with an error when the ball sailed into center as Walker scored.
Both pitchers settled down in the second before the rain started falling.
The series wraps up Wednesday when Pittsburgh RHP A.J. Burnett (0-2, 3.71 ERA) faces Shelby Miller (2-0, 1.46).
Before the game, the Pirates held a moment of silence for victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Cardinals jump on Pirates early in 10-6 win
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Jon Jay and Matt Holliday each had two hits and two RBIs as the St. Louis Cardinals jumped on the Pittsburgh Pirates early in a 10-6 victory Monday night.
Allen Craig doubled and drove in three runs for the Cardinals, who knocked around James McDonald (1-2) with a seven-run second inning. McDonald gave up eight runs, three earned, and walked two in 1 1-3 innings, the shortest start of his career.
Lance Lynn (2-0) labored through five innings to get the win. Lynn allowed four runs, walking three and striking out four.
Starling Marte had three hits and Neil Walker homered for the Pirates, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.

Why go to a financial planner vs. an estate planning lawyer? Can financial planners set up durable power of attorney?
"Financial planners cannot set up durable powers of attorney, unless that particular financial planner is an attorney or is part of a firm that has an attorney on staff," said FPA member Amy Whitlatch, CFP®, CDFA. "In your overall estate planning, a financial planner can be useful in making suggestions to help ensure your estate planning is in concert with your general financial goals (is there more you can do? Did you set up too much?), and can serve as a secondary glance to make sure that you have followed through on any actions that your general estate planning documents require (such as insurance policies, funding of trusts, types of assets that best meet the goals of a trust, etc.)."

Waterbury East end residents showed concern for city during hearing on new school
I would like to extend my gratitude to the residents of the East End who attended the hearing about the proposed grammar school in the East End. The hearing was held at Chase Elementary School on April 10.
When I corresponded with my constituents, I did not ask them to support or oppose the site that was selected by the Board of Education. Rather, I asked them to participate and be heard in whatever way they saw fit.

They say that April showers bring May flowers but March brings March Madness. This is the time when college basketball fans feverishly compile brackets and glue themselves to their TVs. I think it's safe to say that we've all lost someone to March Madness, as the afflicted individual shuts themselves away from society for several weeks, but there's always the chance that your bracketology wasn't quite up to scratch this season. If your top seeds were eliminated early on, you may find yourself with a March entirely free from basketball obligations.
So what to do with yourself? Now that it's officially springtime, you could always venture outdoors. Temperatures are rising and flowers are beginning to bloom, so there's no better time to sit in a local park and take a break.
On the flip side, isn't it just about time for midterms? I know it gets harder to study the warmer it gets (as I sit here watching interviews with "The Hunger Games" cast instead of writing a paper) but summer is on the horizon and I know you have some gas left in your tank, right? Hey, if I can write 2,000 words about Brutalist British architecture, you can handle your class assignments, too!
The coming of summer also means that the search for the perfect internship is in full swing. Though it's fairly late in the season to be getting into the internship game, there are still countless positions looking to be filled. Now's a great time to brush off your resume, hit up the campus career center and start applying.
Bank account looking a little dry? There's never a wrong time to be applying for scholarships for next semester! (Though, if you're reading this on the Scholarships.com blog, I'm sure you already know that!) Trust me: As someone who received a $4,500 stipend for a little extra study abroad wiggle room, I can tell you that it's worth the effort.
See, just because your basketball team is a lost cause doesn't mean March has to be!

In recent years, colleges have begun experimenting with a number of techniques to make textbooks more affordable for, and more likely to be purchased by, college students. From on-demand textbook printing at the University of Michigan to on-campus and online textbook rental options nationwide, it seems like at least two or three textbook pricing revolutions roll out each year. This year, however, Williams College in Massachusetts is trying something entirely different: giving textbooks away for free.
Starting this fall, students who receive financial aid at Williams will be able to charge their textbooks to their bursar accounts--an option available to students at many colleges--and then will receive college-based grants for the amount of their textbook purchase, which as far as Williams officials know, is an offer unique to their campus. The textbook program, as well as the reasons for its inception, were highlighted in a recent blog post in the New York Times' college admissions blog, The Choice.
Williams previously offered financially needy students $400 book grants each semester, but found that some students still weren't buying all their required textbooks, as they felt the money they spent on books was still coming out of their own pockets. A textbook lending program through the library was used to supplement it, but there were concerns that students couldn't make full use of borrowed books. To allow students to highlight and annotate books, as well as reference them in subsequent semesters, the college decided to make sure students were able to purchase all required texts. Thus, the current grant program was born, which Williams officials expect to cost roughly the same as the combination of the previous grant and library lending programs but to serve students more completely and efficiently.
Little touches like free textbooks can go a long way towards swaying students still working on their college search. Regardless of the college you attend, you may want to factor textbooks into your scholarship search, as well. While textbooks don't seem like much individually, when the costs are added up, they can become a sizeable portion of a student's college costs. With many students paying for textbooks out-of-pocket, they can quickly create a problem with money management, increasing work burdens, credit card balances, or student loan debt.

Texas A&M, Boston University, and Vanderbilt University have all recently announced expanded financial aid programs to help lower-and-middle-class students deal with the rising cost of college education and the tough economic situation the country currently faces.
This news comes as many other colleges are announcing budget cuts and tuition hikes in order to break even in the face of declining state funding. Proposed cuts to higher education funding currently range from a one percent cut in Maryland to a reduction of funding by more than 14 percent in Nevada, according to a recent write-up in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Despite financial concerns, though, more and more schools are digging into their pockets to find additional scholarship and grant money for their students. Texas A&M will provide free tuition to all freshmen with a family income below $60,000 and a GPA above 2.5. Boston University plans to meet all financial need for every Boston public school graduate admitted to the university. Vanderbilt will replace all need-based student loans with grants for its students starting next fall, though it still needs to raise an additional $100 million to fully fund the program.
U.S. News and World Report provides more information on these new financial aid programs. You can find out more about these and other generous institutions by conducting a college search on Scholarships.com.

Are you considering a career in public service, such as working for the government or a non-profit organization, but more than slightly overwhelmed by the thought of repaying your student loans with an often minuscule salary? Realizing that you may actually be taking a pay cut to transition from your summer job to your "grown up" career can be demoralizing, and dealing with debt on top of that certainly doesn't help. While many noble individuals certainly make this sacrifice, perhaps you were hoping to forget where the grocery store kept its "manager's special" items after you graduated. And who can blame you? The college budget diet, and the accompanying lifestyle of cramming half a dozen people into one run-down apartment, eventually does get old. Luckily, there are forms of financial aid out there to minimize or relieve your debt and help you stretch that public servant salary a little further.
Some of the most well-known career-based assistance programs are designed for teachers. The TEACH grant contributes $4000 a year towards the tuition of students who agree to teach a high-need subject at a low-income school for four years. Other programs such as Teach for America offer teaching certification, a stipend, and assistance with student loan repayment to individuals agreeing to teach in certain schools.
Teachers and other public servants can also qualify to have their Federal Perkins Loans canceled, saving up to $16,000. Nursing students and other medical students can get in on this program, as well. The federal government also launched a public service loan repayment program a year ago that will forgive qualifying federal student loan debt for those who commit ten years to public service. In addition, a variety of government scholarships provide incentives for students in various majors to consider federal work.
An article appearing in USA Today this week also mentions some university-specific programs to help steer students towards public service careers. Harvard Law School will waive tuition for one year for students who commit to five years in government or non-profit fields, and Princeton University will provide free master's degrees to eight 2008 graduates who first put in two years in federal jobs. Tufts University is also helping its undergraduate students pay down debt or pursue graduate degrees if they commit a few years to public service work.
If you're leaning towards a career with a government agency or non-profit organization, be aware of the scholarships, grants, fellowships, internships, and loan repayment programs out there. Include a free college scholarship search in your research to find out about many of your options for funding your education and minimizing your debt.

Providing incentives for good grades is an increasingly common policy for parents of elementary and high school students. In my household, report card day meant personal pan pizzas and a reprieve from the topping battle among my sister who didn't eat cheese, my sister who only ate cheese, and my own vote for a supreme pizza with extra cheese. After pizza ceased to be a point of contention, my parents switched to the popular plan of offering financial incentives for good grades. I don't remember the pay scale exactly, but I do remember missing it once I hit college. Many undergraduate students are probably in the same boat, thinking about how even $10 or $20 per A could mean fewer trips to the plasma bank or even an extra textbook or two next semester.Two brothers, who also happen to hold economics degrees from Harvard and Princeton, had a similar idea. Michael and Matthew Kopko launched the website GradeFund last month to apply a model similar to fundraising for a marathon, where sponsors pledge to donate a certain amount per mile completed, to finding money for college. College students' friends and family members, as well as corporate sponsors and others interested in donating money to help deserving students fund their educations, sign up on the site to give a certain dollar amount per grade earned to a particular student.Students create profiles donors can search, and are matched up with people interested in helping them finance their educations. Rather than agreeing to provide student loans or cover tuition in exchange for work, like in other peer-to-peer financial aid programs we've mentioned on our blog, donors on GradeFund, like scholarship providers, don't require anything in return for their donations. While it's unlikely that a student will pay for their entire university education this way (according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the current highest pledge per A is $400), they could easily pay for their books and possibly even a good part of other expenses that college scholarships or student financial aid might not cover. Plus, since these payments are linked to concrete achievements by students already attending college, donors may feel less apprehensive about the recipients of their philanthropy floundering once they face the academic challenges of their undergraduate studies.

The new version of the Higher Education Act (HEA) is at last moving to the floors of the House and Senate for a vote. After seven years of waiting and debating, Congressional reauthorization of the HEA could finally happen in the next week, setting the stage for a number of changes in federal student financial aid for college students.
Among other things, the reauthorized HEA would:
Many other changes appear in the 1,158 pages of the bill, which has been a long time coming. The Higher Education Act is supposed to be reauthorized every 5 years, but it has been 10 years since the previous version passed. The new HEA should help financial aid programs adapt to the present situation students face, and should help students better assess and plan for the costs of a college education.

According to a Department of Education memo cited by the New York Times, the Federal Pell Grant program could face a budget shortfall of up to $6 billion in 2009 due to increases in grant amounts and numbers of applicants. The cap on Pell awards has risen from $4050 to $4731 between 2006 and now, and will increase to $6000 for the 2009-2010 academic year (if funding is available) according to the recently reauthorized Higher Education Act. Meanwhile, the number of FAFSA applications has risen by nearly 17 percent in the last year alone, driven by a worsening economic situation.
While data has not yet been released on whether more students are qualifying for Pell Grants or other need-based federal student financial aid this year, increasing college enrollment and unemployment rates, coupled with an overall economic downturn and increased cost of living for Americans, certainly suggest the possibility exists. According to the Department of Education memo to Congress, tough choices or an unpopular announcement regarding Pell Grant funding may have to be made shortly after the next President's inauguration. While it's speculated that Congress will ultimately find the money to fully fund the popular grant program, the federal government is by no means exempt from economic strain.
This announcement comes at the same time as the release of the results of an audit of 14 student loan guaranty agencies, which suggests the government may have lost over $1 billion to FFELP student loan companies taking advantage of a now-closed federal funding loophole. Lenders had been recycling new student loans through a loan program that guaranteed a 9.5 percent return from the government on student loans made before 1993. Lenders had been taking advantage of this loophole as late as 2006, claiming in some cases hundreds of millions of federal dollars for which they should have been ineligible.
When these loan recycling programs came to light, the Department of Education settled with lenders, allowing them to keep the money they had gained up to that point in the 9.5 percent program, but requiring them to immediately cease using the program or submit to an audit in order to continue receiving the subsidies on loans actually eligible. So far, 14 lenders have agreed to these audits. Based on the results, if the loan agencies audited are representative of all lenders that participated in the 9.5 percent program, federal losses could total $1.2 billion. Several of the lenders involved in this settlement, including Nelnet, a company that also recently settled with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo over other questionable business practices, have also announced that they are unable to completely fund their student loan programs for the 2008-2009 school year.

Pros – Good, smart, knowledgeable people. Interesting work, improving patient lives. Great salary, competitive benefits. Solid communication. Overall a very good company to work for.
Cons – The company is still integrating work and systems from the Roche merger, creating some confusion and overlap. The highest growth in the San Francisco area is probably over.
Advice to Senior Management – None.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Blalock, who is tied for second in the American League with 22 home runs, doesn't particularly care who will be pitching for him Monday when he starts the home run competition at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
"Whoever is there," Blalock said. "It doesn't really make any difference to me. I'll just go up there and try to hit home runs. "
Blalock has some experience in home run hitting competitions.
"I was in one at Spring Training and I did one when I was at the Florida State League All-Star Game in 2001," Blalock said. "I got second. I went to the finals and lost by a couple of homers."

PLATTSBURGH - The United Way of the Adirondack Region Inc. is proud to announce the establishment of the North Country Regional Volunteer Center. Funds for the volunteer center come from a grant established by the NYS Commission on National and Community Service. There are a total of 10 regional volunteer centers throughout New York state. The North Country Regional Volunteer Center encompasses seven counties: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence.
Engaging volunteers to solve community issues is a primary focus of the state Office of National and Community Service. While the office works directly with national service programs, their goal is to include all service organizations in their activities as well as provide support to community organizations throughout the region and state.
The North Country Regional Volunteer Center fortifies the system for area-wide data collection that invigorates advocacy efforts, case statements for founders, and recruitment of volunteers. The web-based volunteer center will match registered volunteers with not-for-profit agencies that have volunteer opportunities. Volunteers and agencies can register at www.northcountryvolunteer.org.

It's About Fairness: Join the Fight
It's about basic fairness; millionaires and billionaires should not pay a lower tax rate than people like teachers, nurses and construction workers. On Monday, the Senate is voting on Senator Whitehouse's Paying a Fair Share Act, more commonly referred to as the Buffett Rule, which would ensure that the wealthiest Americans pay a minimum tax rate of 30%.
David is a proud co-sponsor of the House version of the Buffett Rule but Speaker Boehner has refused to bring it to the floor for a vote. Please sign this petition urging the Speaker to schedule a vote on this right away!
Please sign the petition:
"I support the Buffett Rule that closes the loopholes that allow people making over a million dollars a year to pay a lower tax rate than middle-class families. Speaker Boehner should immediately schedule a vote on this in the House."

In order to be clear about what REI expects of employees who participate in online forums, we've posted these guidelines.

Veterans Make Calls to Scott Brown's Office: Repeal DADT
December 3, 2010 by Karl Bach
Last night, HRC volunteers made phone calls to veteran households and transferred 131 supporters to Senator Scott Brown's voicemail box. We were joined by three veterans who shared their stories with the volunteers. Mike Young, who served as a Marine, told about serving overseas in an anti-terrorism security team alongside a bisexual Marine. "There was no negative effect on morale, effectiveness, or readiness in my unit. The men and women in the Marine Corps are the best of the best... All troops, gay and straight, will work and live together exactly as their superiors tell them, because that's what Marines do. The military leaders have recommended repeal.Continue Reading ►

Bears agree to deal with Bostic
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 5:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 5:50 p.m.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears have agreed to a four-year contract with second-round draft pick Jon Bostic.
A linebacker at Florida, Bostic started every game his final two years in the middle for the Gators and figures to compete with veteran free agent acquisition D.J. Williams for Brian Urlacher's old job.
Bostic made eight sacks, 19 1/2 tackles for loss and five interceptions in his four-year Florida career. He ran a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine and bench-pressed 225 pounds 22 times.
The team announced the move on Twitter on Thursday. The Bears' only unsigned pick is first-rounder Kyle Long, an offensive lineman from Oregon and the son of Hall of Famer Howie Long.

So you have had a positive experience I take it?
I was pointed towards a Beckett product called the HeatManager by a fellow forum dweller "RedWood" who just so happens to also live in CT!! while on another thread
I began doing my own homework on the product and got several of my coworkers onboard to also get one. In a nutshell this is a "computer" that attaches to your HotWater boiler that saves energy by economizing your heating/burner cycles.
In our research we came across a product made called Intellicon HW+($180+/- online) that very closely resembled the Beckett Heatmanager($150+/- online). The first most apparent difference was a nifty LCD display to provide feedback. Our pooled research also led us to find that the same company makes the Beckett units. Those according to our research are essentialy a barebones version "processor wise" of their own intellicon HW+ and has no display.
Keep in mind all this research was being done while OIL was sky high per gallon. I'm on nat gas, and just wanted to save some money$$$. The websites claim guarantee's of 10% and some individuals claiming 20-30% on other blogs.
I've been running for about 1.5months now and my readout display of total savings is at 32.5%!!! This number fluctuates but has stayed above 30% for a few weeks now.
Installation was a breeze and took about 15mins. I tried to get all my co-workers to do their own installation, but not are all so brave. One had their boiler tech install it for about $75 I think.
The rest of us did our own installs. The funny thing is the one that was professionally installed was installed upside-down so the LCD is hard to read, and not very neat. All the DIY installs came out very clean.
Just wanted to share my experiences with other people who are considering something like this. I'll be glad to answer any questions.
So you have had a positive experience I take it?
We push the Beckett unit pretty hard to our customers. Unit has a couple minor drawbacks, mostly going away in the winter and turning the heat down. ( fools the controller) but that's pretty rare. They will save an average of 15%, maybe more. There are better, more expensive and more complicated units out there also like the Taco and Tekmar units (same company(tekmar) makes both of them) None of these are anything new to the market. Honeywell first introduced an analog unit back in the 50's. In the 70's when the oil crunch first hit Both Taco and Ener-Trol marketed units that did the same thing the Intellicon and Beckett units do.
In my opinion, if you have a boiler you really should have a set-back controller.
Over the last several years my customers all have been sucessful using the Intellicon by saving at least 10% of thier energy cost, I have seen past 30% in the older oversized boilers. The Intellicon is just the more sophisticated version of the Beckett Heat Manager. The installation is rather straight forward compared to the tekmar or taco and it does not require calibration annually. I also personnally have it on my Biassi/Riello Oil fired with taco zone control (6 zones) and the 3150 Hydrolevel. I run the boiler on cold start and over the last two years I have been averaging a solid 12% in savings. I have verified this by turning the Intellicon off on alternating days to see the difference in burner run time. So in a nutshell I highly recommend, I have run in hvac technicians and fellow owners that seem to rather use the Tekmar, but i suspect that is for no other reason other then they usually charge $750 for installation versus the Intellicon HW+ 3250 which is practically a DIY type of job. but i charge $150
I have installed over 50 HW + 3250's in the Greater Toronto Area in the last year guaranteeing minimum 10% savings with payback time within 1.5 years. Every installation has been successful. The Intellicon HW + 3250 has been a great product for our end users and for us as distributors. I would not hesitate to recommend any of the Intellidyne units for the full scope of their commercial and residential applications. For more info on these units and all the entire Intellidyne product line check out this website: www.energybank.ca

Hello. I'm new to the forum and have just installed a HW+3250. I'm not too clear on the instructions and was wondering if someone could help?
Here are my current parameters:
I use a Honeywell L8124L (triple?) aquastat on my boiler. High set point is 195F, Low setpoint is 170F with the differential set to 15 deg. I also use the domestic hot water coil.
I don't understand the instructions on the limit settings for the HW+, particularly the reference to the "B" stat. I have left them at default. HLOLIM is 145 deg and LO is 115 deg.
Can someone please suggest me what settings I should have on both the aquastat and the HW+?

Israel: Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
Tuition Exchange
For students with an interest in Israel, a program of study can be arranged through the NYC office of this top Israeli University. Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is the only Israeli university created to fulfill a unique nation-building mandate: to develop the Negev, its land and its people. International students are offered the chance to experience first hand why BGU is known to be the #1 choice university for Israeli undergraduates. You will have the chance to experience the real Israel, and enjoy a summer, semester or year living like a real Israeli student.
The Center for International Student Program (CISP), in addition to offering you the chance to benefit from the tremendous wealth of academic potential at the University, takes you on numerous trips throughout the semester and year. The small size of the Program allows for more individual attention, and the staff is more than happy to assist students in any way possible.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is located in the city of Beer Sheva—the capital of the Negev region. The Negev itself is part of an awe-inspiring desert that stretches from Egypt through the southern part of Israel to Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The city of Beer Sheva is one of the four largest cities in Israel. It lies between the southern Negev desert and the cultivated fields of the biblical lands of Judah to the north. Beer Sheva is a city of great historical significance, where thousands of years ago it offered the junction between East and West. Beer Sheva is a city that offers a glimpse at the 'real' Israel. It is attracting large hi-tech companies to the region, and the city also hosts shopping malls, movie theaters, an internationally renowned chamber orchestra, local theaters and a light opera company, cafes, restaurants, pubs, numerous student dance clubs and discos.
BGU attracts first class, dynamic faculty from all over Israel, and indeed, the world. The Center for International Student Program offers several concentrations in fields where BGU has particular strengths. These concentrations are designed to highlight areas in which students can find numerous courses available through the CISP, as well as fields in which students might wish to take internships and/or independent research classes.
Opportunities for Experiential Learning:
Volunteer work is encouraged as it is in keeping with the goal of the Center for Student Programs. It helps the students to foster more diverse friendships, as well as facilitating overall integration into Israeli society. Through community service, students can delve into other dimensions and cultures that make up the diverse melting pot of Israeli society.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Beer Sheva are located in the desert, far enough away from the areas in which violence and terrorism have occurred. Still, security and the safety of our students are our foremost priorities.
Students live in the on-campus dormitories which are located within one or two minutes walk from their classes, the sports center, the library, and the center of the University. The dormitories are patrolled constantly and there is an active and visible Security Division, which is responsible for security throughout the University. Security personnel are available and on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students receive a security orientation upon arrival at the University and receive regular updates on security in Israel and the region. They also meet frequently with the Director of the Center for International Student Programs for updated security briefings.

"Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon." — Akira Kurosawa
Music: Satyajit Ray
Producer: R.D. Bansal
Screenplay: Satyajit Ray. Based on the novella 'Nastanirh' by Rabindranath Tagore
Photography: Subrata Mitra
Editor: Dulal Dutta
Production designer: Bansi Chandragupta
Sound: Nripen Pal, Atul Chatterjee, Sujit Sarkar
In Bengali with English subtitles
With: Soumitra Chatterjee (Amal), Madhabi Mukherjee (Charu), Sailen Mukherjee (Bhupati), Syamal Ghosal (Umapada), Gitali Roy (Manda), Bholanath Koyal (Braja), Suku Mukherjee (Nisikanta), Dilip Bose (Sasanka)
Festivals: Cannes Classics 2013
We're delighted to present this classic of India's cinema in a brand new digital restoration direct from its Cannes screening. The great Bengali director Satyajit Ray launched India onto the world stage with the Apu Trilogy in the 1950s, commencing a four-decade career rich in masterpieces. None was finer than this deft and moving adaptation of a novella by Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore.
In 1870s Calcutta, an ambitious newspaper publisher arranges for his young cousin Amal to entertain his neglected wife, Charu. As the relationship develops, Charu's feelings for Amal begin to change, with potentially devastating results for the family. Madhabi Mukherjee's performance as Charu is flawless, and it's perfectly complemented by Ray's expressive camerawork to evoke the tension between her character's sense of entrapment and longing for freedom. Although we share an extraordinary intimacy with Charu, Ray characteristically treats all of his characters with profound empathy, and their world – one that Charu herself is only able to view through opera glasses from her window – is described with uncommon richness and depth. — Andrew Langridge
"A wonderfully Jamesian study of Victorian India… Immensely funny (with the dialogue peppered by solemn anglicisms and toasts to Gladstone and the Liberals), but also elegant and gracefully moving as the heroine flirts with romance and domestic tragedy on her way to becoming the New Woman. Certainly one of Ray's best films, with a superb music score of his own composition." — Tom Milne, Time Out

I really enjoy every meal at 231
Ellsworth and always ask myself why we don't go there more often. The service is great but still casual and not as stilted as so many top tier restaurants where you are dealing with robots vs real people. If you haven't been go and enjoy, don't set your expectations too high and you will love it. If it's been a while since you've been, go back soon and just sit back and enjoy."

I thought the food was very good,
although portions small. Overall the menu is too pricey for location and service. They also ran out of a bottle of wine on their menu. This should be explained upfront."

recommendations were spot on."

If you love being able to see your
food - and everything else in the room - in starkly bright light - the kind of lighting I associate with buss stations and autopsy exam rooms, then this place is great! If on top of that you love having to beg your waitress (who was obviously moonlighting from her day-job as Subway) for a wine list, then this place is great. If you love begging to have a $200+ bottle of French Châteauneuf-du-Pape decanted because it was served as cold as my kids like their soda-Pape, then - bingo! - this place is great! If you don't like those things - as much, for instance, as I don't - then this place falls into that column of 'lessons learned'."

My date said the evening was
perfection. One of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had. Wholeheartedly recommend this ristorante when planning an evening with that very special person."
Dined on 2/14/2014
For Valentine's Day they offered a
fixed priced menu with wine pairing at $110 and $50 pp respectively. First off, the room was lit like a hospital room. I suggested to our server that they dim the lights and she said she would however it never changed. We started with cocktails then at about 20 mins bread arrived and our first course arrived at about 40mins. The food course and the wine never got in sync as the wine so we had empty glasses with the food. Good news is that both the food and the wine were delicious although they thought the food was more "precious" than I did. This was especially true with the Kobe Filet arrived and was at most 3oz. The final surprise was an 18% service charge was included in the bill."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We came here day after Valentine's
Day. Our waitress that cared less about doing her job. For the few questions we had about the menu she got the info wrong. And not once did she check in during our entire 2 hour dinner to ask if we were enjoying our food. The food was lack luster at best. No flavor, no creativity. This was an expensive dinner wasted, a romantic evening wasted. I will not come back and will never recommend."

My wife and I moved to San Mateo
last year for work. We dine out most nights, and have tried nearly every spot in the downtown area. 231 Ellsworth was not only the best place Downtown, but we think it rivals the better spots in SF, Napa, Yountville, etc. The food is excellent, the choice between bar and main menus gives a great option between casual and more formal choices, the wine list is the most thought out and interesting in the area, and their staff, from bartender to waiters/waitresses, are so knowledgable, and give a perfect amount of individual attention. We eat here once every other week for the last year, and have had two special event dinners."
Dined on 2/15/2014
231 Ellsworth has a lot of
possibilities!The food quality was outstanding but the portion size was very small. I had the rack of lamb but it only had 2 ribs. pretty stingy. The ambiance and decor was excellent.The tables were spread out and you really didn't have a packed in feeling. Our server Chris was outstanding in his manner and professionalism but the service was very very slow. I am not sure if that was intentional or not but it seemed to take forever to get our salads after we ordered. The pricing was what I would expect from a high end restaurant but given the portion size I would say it was too pricey. Overall very fixable things. Maybe others have noticed this too because the restaurant was only half full on a Saturday night."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Really enjoyed both the food (the
scallops were exceptional!) and the service. They were patient with the fact that one of our party was late in arriving, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The only negative is that the acoustics at some times allow other diners to hear your conversations, but that didn't inhibit our enjoyment!"
Dined on 1/31/2014
We had a birthday dinner for a
very senior gentleman and we were so pleasantly surprised. The door was opened for us and our wheelchair, the tables are far enough apart so that you do not have to listen to everyone else's conversations, or raise your voice and the décor is romantic and elegant without being flashy. The food is delicious and served very attractively and the wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive without being annoying."
Dined on 1/31/2014
love 231. Great in every aspect.
wonferful, polite, detailed service. Fabulous food. Always a treat. There is nothing that comes close to the 231 experience!"
Dined on 1/29/2014
I booked this venue for lunch as I
had a business meeting and needed a place that wasn't noisy. The waiter was so welcoming and so attentive. The food was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and the service."
Dined on 1/23/2014
appetizer special were very good
and our waiter was helpful in steering us to the specials. They were out of Jack Daniels which surprised me. a very nice meal."
Dined on 1/21/2014
Inventive flavorful dishes along
with service that is impeccable makes 231 Ellsworth a wonderful place for a meal. The atmosphere is quiet and I love the amount of space between the tables to allow for a real conversation."
Dined on 1/17/2014
Finally got back to 231 Ellsworth.
On a Friday at 1 pm, an empty restaurant! Food just ok. What happened?"
Dined on 1/10/2014
My husband and I had a wonderful
early evening at 231 on NYE. The server (Serena?) was so helpful in guiding our food choices from the set menu and finding wine pairings for the meals. We didn't want to do the wine pairing service because It is too much alcohol, and she was able to find really good matches. The sake cured salmon was AMAZING!!!."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Way over priced for the quality
and choices of food! The service was very poor."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Although the menu choices on New
Years Eve were varied and definitely fit for the occasion, the service had no flare. Our waiter introduced himself when we arrived and told us he would be taking care of us that evening - in reality each time a plate was set before us or removed (there were 6 courses), it seemed a new person had arrived at the table. The beginning of the meal seemed rushed. We had no sooner put down the utensil and the dish was removed and another appeared. There were no explanations of the preparation, the meal lacked a fine dining experience. And a PS to diners at a restaurant of this stature - please wear something "nicer" than jeans and a tee shirt..."
Dined on 12/31/2013
The initial service was great and
the five course meal was served seamlessly. However we had to over 30 mins to get our check. The five courses all tasted great and had the right portion size. I decided to go with the apricot soufflé, which was very sweet and sour and a little difficult to enjoy. My husband ordered the chocolate mousse and he said it was delicious. So I would recommend the chocolate mousse over the apricot soufflé."
Dined on 12/31/2013
We had an early Christmas dinner
with my nephew and his wife. We were running 30 late because we couldn't find PARKING! So be warned! We had great time and we always chose 231 when it's a special dinner. The service was outstanding, the wines were sublime and the food was super! We highly recommend 231!"
Dined on 12/21/2013
The food and wining pairing was
good and everyone at the table enjoyed the evening. It was a great customer dinner."
Dined on 12/16/2013
The wife and I have been here a
few times. Latest experience was disappointing. We'd always loved 231 Ellsworth for the service. On a rainy night, there was no valet service. The sign is still there, but I guess they no longer offer valet parking. Our waiter was disengaged, seemed like she was in a rush, had somewhere else to be. Just going through the motions. Even though the place only had about 5 tables occupied. Sommelier was nowhere to be seen, which is too bad because he was always a high point of our meals at 231. Menu seems abbreviated compared to the past. Net/net: went from a special place to blah."
Dined on 12/6/2013
Its been 10+ years since I last
went to 231 Ellsworth. I remember it being great so when I was looking for a place to celebrate my mom's bday I thought of it. Things have changed! To start our meal, for 6 people we shared 3 appetizers-- all awful. The beet salad was so salty we couldnt eat it. The lobster mac & cheese came out barely warm & the sauce was very runny. (To be fair, there were big pieces of lobster). We had 6 entrees (5 varieties) and only 1 was good (pasta w/ mushrooms). There were only 3 pieces of gnocchi with the Salmon entree- tough and flavorless. The short rib portion was small and tasted like it was covered in bottled bbq sauce. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and I wont be returning again! Stay away!"
Dined on 12/4/2013
Absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving
menu...and normally holidays are iffy at restaurants. Every course was outstanding. Service was impeccable...a far cry from what passes even at many high-end restaurants."
Dined on 11/28/2013
They have weekly 3 course meal
special at the bar. The price is very reasonable, usually under $40. It's always fun to sit there and chat with the bar tender and the local foodies who dine there often."
Dined on 10/19/2013
Three of us had pre-fixed 4 course
Thanksgiving dinner. Was asked what kind of water, i.e. still, mineral, etc. & then no water was ever served. After 20 mins, our waiter came to take our order. Time between every course was 15-20 mins. Our waiter never came by to see how we are doing. Two got served main entrees. I thought the server went to the kitchen to get my entree. After 10 mins., I had to flag a staff indicating that I DID NOT get my entree. I had to wait another 10 mins. to get my entree. Most restaurants include coffee/tea on a pre-fix but not this restaurant. We asked for coffee & wasn't told that it cost extra until I saw the bill. Add insult to injury, gratuity added to bill for me. Overall experience, totally unacceptable!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
For family members with good taste
AND who enjoy eating earlier on holidays, I heartily recommend 231. Crisp, clear flavors, fine wine list, and not a 'barn' with awful acoustics like everything else on the Peninsula."
Dined on 11/28/2013
In brief... Horrible food and
worse service yet we paid $300 dollars for dinner for 3 people. Would never recomend or go again."
Dined on 11/28/2013
Very small portions of OK fare,
but the prices are out of control. Wine list is incredibly overpriced. The bar is nice, and cocktails are well done."
Dined on 11/23/2013
We had a very fun time. The staff
is most welcoming, accomodating, knowledgeable and friendly. I had the scallops which were delish, my friend had the lamb rack which was also delish, my husband had steak and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked just right. We took our own Somona County wines."
Dined on 11/20/2013
After previous experiences at 231
Ellsworth, we were excited to dine there again. The only thing that went right was the reservation. Incredibly poor service - we had to ask for wine glasses, utensils, water - and mediocre food. We had to send back the food since it was prepared with ingredients to which we were allergic - despite repeated assurances that the food would not contain those ingredients. And they did not offer replacement dishes! The head waiter admitted the service was lousy, begging us to come again, but with no assurance that things would be better. Bottom line - two hours for a slice of bread and two glasses of wine. But the final bill did not reflect that! Top dollar for horrible service and inedible food."
Dined on 11/13/2013
Nothing really stood out for me.
Cocktail was nice but my duck was too fatty and the mac & cheese too runny. Definitely not as good as I thought it would be. Even the amuse was basically coarsely ground veggies in a demitasse."
Dined on 11/11/2013
The food was good, portions a
little expensive for the size. Good ambience. Service very good."
Dined on 10/28/2013
Not like the old days when we
lived in SM in the late 80's and 231 was THE place to go. Now dinning area is just a big room not a showpiece, drinks and wine are terribly overpriced, and food is barely average."
Dined on 10/16/2013
Food was so-so. I have been here
for dinner which is far superior. Lunch menu is limited. Although the service was very good, I would not return for lunch."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Easy use, inexpensive, great outcome
Nautical Dreams Save the Date Magnets Ordered magnets for our Save the Dates, they turned out great and the toal was not expensive at all, they also included envelopes and a book for reference when the invites are ready to be considered.
Nautical Save the Dates
Nautical Dreams Save the Date Magnets My save the dates are adorable, and came printed just as I designed them. I would have liked them to be a tiny bit bigger, but that's my only complaint. On the upside, you can send them with regular postage stamps. I wasn't sure about that so I left a message with MagnetStreet and someone called me back personally the next day. Excellent customer service! They also came in a really cute box, with samples of their wedding invitation stock and fonts, with a coupon for 25% off wedding invitations. Definitely a nice touch! Great company, made in the USA!
Great magnets, cute design
Nautical Dreams Save the Date Magnets Personalization was really easy and was more flexible than I thought it would be. I love the design, very cute start for a wedding on a deck overlooking the docks of a couple sailing clubs. Overall, the magnets came out great.
Amazing Save The Date Magnets
Nautical Feelings Save the Date Magnets I am so impressed with the quality product I received from magnetStreet! I purchased "Save The Date" magnets for my upcoming wedding and the personalization process was easy, and honestly even fun! My magnets arrived before they were scheduled to, and they were packed so nicely in a beautiful blue box that I will now be using to collect other wedding stuff between now and the big day. magnetStreet was very professional and has great pricing and quality products. I WILL be ordering my invitations from here as well!
Nice product
Nautical Feelings Save the Date Magnets Since I really didn't want a "save the date". this one was perfect..small yet to the point...cute so people will get the idea of what the theme of the wedding will be and yet filled with info if they access the website. Love it..the description on the site was exactly as thought it would be...
