[EX Q]: But maybe â just maybe â this one game  this one Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden  is a hint that thereâs life yet in the old bear  in the St. Johnâs basketball team  which had no business sharing a court with the fourth-ranked Duke Blue Devils yet somehow walked off that court with an 81-77 victory.
âIâm happy for the guys â  St. Johnâs coach Chris Mullin  said. âThey needed it more than anything.â
It is what this program needed  too  as much as anything. As the losses mounted  the helplessness did too. Nobody expected  Mullin âs return to  his  Utopia Parkway kingdom to be a magic elixir  but nobody figured on 0-11 in the Big East in Year 3  either. It has been hard for  Mullin âs guys  yes  but it has been just as hard for the faithful to keep their faith.
âThe month of January was rough for us â forward Tariq Owens said. âBut  Coach  never stopped preaching to us and we never left the gym and finally it paid off.â
Itâs one game  yes. Two years ago   St. Johnâs  hammered a Syracuse team bound for the Final Four and  it  proved merely an outlier. Maybe this will be the same thing.
Or maybe it wonât be. If you care about St. Johnâs  and about college basketball in this city  it really is the only way to root.

[EX Q]: This week  one of IRIBâs popular nightly talk shows was dedicated to the protests. The Channel Two show featured Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani  a conservative MP  and  Reza Seraj   introduced as an âexpert on strategic questions and a university professor.â
 Seraj  is well-known to many Iranian activists  although not exactly in those terms. Many of the thousands who have gone through the notorious interrogations blindfolded in Tehranâs Evin Prison remember his voice as an âexpert interrogator.â He is known for meting out psychological torture rather than physical torture by flaunting his supposed knowledge of the intricate webs of espionage with which any given activist is allegedly involved.
Born in the southwestern city of Ahvaz in 1966   Seraj  has cut  his  teeth in different wings of the IRGC  especially its autonomous volunteer paramilitary  the Basij. One story alleges that in 1988  the then-21-year-old Seraj galvanized a group of angry Basijis to stop a speech by Ali Khameneiâwho was president at the timeâto soldiers on the frontlines of the war with Iraq. Back then  President Khamenei was engaged in a power struggle with Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi  who was regarded as being more revolutionary and closer to the founder of the Islamic Republic  Ayatollah Khomeini.
As it turned out  two decades later  in 2009   Seraj  played a lead role in defending Khamenei  by then the supreme leader  harassing and torturing supporters of Mousavi  who was by that time the leader of the Green Movement that threatened Khamenei.
â 'The Americans  the Israelis and the Saudis had a strategic operational plan that was to be put in action next year '  Seraj  said  'but some factors led them into hastening  it .' â
 Seraj  headed the student organization of Basij from 2008 to 2010 and was lauded by the pro-IRGC Fars News Agency as a transformative Basiji figure. In the years since  he has become known for working with outlets like Fars and the state broadcaster to defend the regime and spin tales of foreign espionage.
His real identity didnât remain hidden for long. Ali Afshari  the student activist who was driven to exile after bouts of prison and torture in Iran  recalled  Seraj  very well in an interview he gave to the New Haven-based Iran Human Rights Documentation Center.
âWhen I gave up  they had taken my blindfold [off] and I could see my interrogator â Afshari said. âHe introduced himself as Alavi but I later found out that his name was Seraj. He sometimes writes for Fars now and is the head of student Basij. I complained to the judge and asked for a different interrogator.  Seraj  used to tell me that it was  he  who told the judge what to do  not the other way around.â
Adding more to spice up the story  Amirabadi claimed that part of the U.S. plan was to bring the forces of ISIS to Iranian territory  but this had been thwarted by the Quds Force (a part of the IRGC which is not supposed to operate on Iranian territory) and the Unknown Soldiers of the Twelfth Imam (the name used for the forces of Iranâs ministry of intelligence.)  Seraj  quickly agreed with this claim.
According to  Seraj   now that the Americansâ âPlan Aâ had been defeated  they had resorted to âPlan B â which had been started by U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haleyâs calling on the United Nations Security Council to meet about Iran.
âTheir plan is to lead Iran to miscalculation and to change its behavior according to what U.S. and the European countries want â  Seraj  said. âThey had designed a game of dominoes. The Americans were to threaten us with leaving the JCPOA [nuclear agreement] and ramping up the sanctions while the Europeans were to play the good cop.â
Confirming "the Conspiracy" and Worries for Whatâs  Next
Seraj  doesnât officially speak for the IRGC so someone unfamiliar with  his  significance might dismiss  his  elaborate theory as the thoughts of one man. But Iranian Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Jafar Montazeri has given a version of events that coincides very closely with Serajâs.
Montazeri then gave numerous details to back up the story put forth by  Seraj  and Amirabadiâand added some new claims. The cities of Herat in Afghanistan and Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan had been picked as centers of operation  he said  and ISIS forces were to come to Iran from there. He also claimed that Michael DâAndreaâwho was revealed in U.S. media reports back in June as the newly appointed head of the CIAâs Iran Mission Centerâhad organized the protests  a claim previously made by some pro-government Turkish newspapers (these reports were so inaccurate they had mistakenly published photographs of U.S. actors instead of DâAndrea.)
The Green Movement of 2009 was followed by Stalinesque show trials during which the accused confessed to involvement in elaborate espionage plans.  Seraj  is known to have played a role in concocting those fantasy plans. So  now  many worry that a similar fate awaits more than 1 500 people who have been arrested over the last few days.

[EX Q]: Scientists found hundreds of pterosaur bones at the surface of the site (Alexander Kellner  Museu Nacional/UFRJ).
âThis is by far the most exciting discovery that I know of â said  Alexander Kellner   co-author of the new study and paleontologist at the National Museum of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
And  Kellner  isnât some newbie to pterosaur discoveries.  He âs been studying these ancient animals for more than 30 years and has personally been a part of naming or describing more than 20 species. This includes the species in question  Hamipterus tianshanensis  which  Kellner   Wang  and a team of their colleagues discovered in 2014.
With a wingspan of approximately 11 feet  an adult H. tianshanensis may have been something like an albatross. You know  if albatrosses had large crests running the lengths of their heads and spikelike teeth. This species does not appear to have had feathers   Kellner  said.
Probably a fish-eater  H. tianshanensis inhabited hot and dry environments but would have buried its eggs in the sand and vegetation found on the shores of lakes or rivers. This is also likely why so many eggs have been found together.  Kellner  suspects recent storms caused torrential flooding which unearthed the eggs and washed them into the fossil record  along with other  older pterosaurs that fell victim to the deluge.
The paper says that H. tianshanensis hatchlings wouldnât have been able to fly immediately because several of the eggs the team examined showed wing bones that were less developed than expected. This may have meant that baby pterosaurs would have spent some time on the ground hunting insects and generally trying not to be eaten before learning how to take wing.  Kellner  even speculated that the pterosaur females and maybe even males would have stuck around to feed the hatchlings to help get them through such a precarious stage.
Pterosaurs ran the gamut from the gigantic  aircraftlike Quetzalcoatlus all the way down to animals about the size of a sparrow  such as Nemicolopterus. Some had the long  pointy snouts we typically associate with the flying reptiles. Others boasted wild and crazy crests  which may have been used to attract the opposite sex  as has been suggested with H. tianshanensis. And still other pterosaur species had short  squat skulls more like  that of a frog   Chiappe said. (Albeit  a very scary frog.)
Pterosaurs were the very first animals with backbones to master powered flight   Kellner  said. How they did what they did  and did it for as long as they did  is just one of the mysteries he and his colleagues hope to solve.
