There's so much to see and do in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Jump right in and explore the possibilities with this handy guided tour.
Everything you need in one great place.
For anything home-related, Tom Nook is your guy—he'll set you up with a home when you arrive, then happily arrange expansions or renovations. Just be prepared for the bill when the work is done.
Timmy and Tommy's general store starts out small, but the pair have big plans for expansion. You can pick up all kinds of items here along with furniture, wallpaper, carpet, and essential tools like shovels and fishing rods.
Pay Leif a visit once his Garden Shop is built and pick up a range of flower seeds, tree saplings, bushes, and fertilizer. He also sells potted plants designed to bring nature into your home.
Sable and Mable Able have all the latest fashions—just what you need to be the best-dressed mayor around. Right next door is Labelle, who offers a fun range of accessories.
Blathers runs the local museum and will happily take any bugs, fish, art or fossils that you'd care to donate for the exhibits. You can also talk to Celeste upstairs to create your own exhibits for all your friends to enjoy.
Finish off your new outfits with stylish footwear from Kicks' Shoe Shop.
There's nothing more relaxing than a trip to the salon, and Harriet is more than willing to help. Visit her beauty salon for a haircut and color, or really change your look with colored contact lenses.
Communicating with your townfolk is a big part of being mayor, and you can use the Post Office to send letters or presents through the mail to others in town. You'll also pay off loans taken out with Tom Nook here.
Once you've got your home set up, the Happy Home Academy will appear inside Nook's Homes. They'll offer advice on home improvements and even award you a score based on how great it looks.
Build the Dream Suite as a public works project and open up a doorway to the world of dreams. Talk to Luna for help visiting other towns from all around the world, including those of people you've never met.
Visit this funky club during the week to see DJ KK spinning some mad tunes, or try a Saturday night concert to see K.K. Slider playing an acoustic set. You can also check out Shrunk's unique comedy act during the day.
Note: You're the Mayor! This feature is only available after it's been opened as a Public Works Project.
Found on the northern edge of Main Street, the Happy Home Showcase is where you'll find the homes of other players that you meet via the StreetPass™ feature*. Check out their houses and even order furniture that inspires you.
* Nintendo-created homes will also be added to the Happy Home Showcase from time to time via the SpotPass™ feature.
Katrina only appears in town occasionally when you first arrive, but she'll eventually set up shop in Main Street. Stop by any time for a reading and find out how lucky (or unlucky) you'll be.
Note: You're the Mayor! This feature is only available after it's been opened as a Public Works Project.
Your Town Pass Card (TPC) can be seen by anyone who comes to your town or meets you via StreetPass, and you can make it extra special by including a photo of your character.
Get back to nature in your town.
Grab a fishing rod or net to fish or catch insects. The types of wildlife you'll find change depending on the time of day and the seasons...can you catch them all?
There are lots of creatures just waiting to be caught in the ocean, though you'll need to get a Wet Suit before you can go after them. Look for shadows moving in the depths and bubbles showing where to dive down!
Plant flowers to beautify your town. Try placing flowers of the same variety next to one another and use fertlizer to help create hybrids with colors that aren't normally available.
Look for strange cracks in the ground as you explore your town—if you've got a shovel, you can dig down to find gyroid statues, pitfall seeds or even fossils. Take fossils to the museum to have them examined by Blathers.
If you hear the wind whistling through your town, there's a balloon floating nearby. Find it in the sky and shoot it down to claim the special gift it's tied to. (Hint: You'll need a slingshot!)
You can sell all kinds of fruit for money. Your town starts with only one type of fruit, but you can get others by visiting Tortimer Island or other people's towns. Watch for special "perfect" fruit, too.
Your town, your style.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf offers more clothing options than ever. Mix and match tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, socks, hats, and accessories to suit your style.
Fashion isn't the only way to update your look. Get your hair cut and colored, change your eye color with contact lenses...You can even get a full makeover to look just like your Mii™ character.
Main Street is the place to go for new furniture finds. Place your furniture any way you please and make your house a showplace for your style.
A cool theme can really pull a room together! Shop around for your favorite matching furniture set.
Budding interior designers can go one step further and create truly unique furniture. Talk to Cyrus at the Re-Tail recycling store to apply new colors, styles, or even your own custom designs to a piece of furniture.
Give your home a few updates or a total renovation with help from Tom Nook. You can get new styles for your mailbox, fence, pavement, roof…you name it.
Places to go, things to do.
Your central hub for all things related to being mayor. Talk to Isabelle for a report on your progress and citizen satisfaction, or create public works projects that'll improve the town.
Not only will Reese buy your unwanted items, but she also offers a Flea Market service at the Re-Tail recycling shop. Place items on one of the sale stands, set your price, and wait for other residents and players to buy them.
Sit back and watch the world go by from the comfort of The Roost, once you've built the café as a public works project. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee and chat to Brewster while he works, or get a part-time job and serve customers yourself.
Mr. Resetti runs the town's Reset Center. If you forget to save your game before turning off your Nintendo 3DS system, he'll let you know in his own unforgettable (and feisty) way.
Note: You're the Mayor! This feature is only available after it's been opened as a Public Works Project.
When you're planning to visit another player's town or inviting friends to yours, the Station is the place to go. Talk to Porter and he'll make all the travel arrangements—at no charge.
Help Copper and Booker get back on the beat by building the Police Station as a public works project. They keep a careful eye on the town and tell you if there's anything unusual going on, such as a visitor worth talking to.
Head to the dock to meet Kapp'n, the boatman responsible for taking people to Tortimer Island. For a small fee, he'll give you and your friends a ride... and even serenade you with a sea shanty.
Hit the beach with friends >
Getting to know your neighbors.
As mayor, the best way to get to know the townsfolk is up close and personal. Talk to everyone you meet on your travels. Helping residents with errands or requests is a great way to build your friendships.
Who doesn't love getting mail? Enjoy the thrill of discovering letters and gifts in your mailbox from time to time. (Tip: Send mail to your neighbors and you may get something nice in return.)
If you see smoke coming from a chimney, it means someone's home. Feel free to stop in and say "hello." If you're lucky, your neighbors may even ask if they can stop by your house in return.
Give out-of-town animals a place to visit by building a campsite as one of your public works projects. You'll get to talk to and play games with the campers and purchase rare items–they might even decide to move to your town for good.
Keep an eye out for lost items like books, pouches or mittens. If you find one, you'll get to do some detective work to find out who it belongs to.
As you get to know your neighbors, you'll become close friends–so close, in fact, they'll give you a framed photo to keep. Show it off in your home, then try to get one from everyone in town.

Art Terms in Action: Paint
Paint is most often a combination of pigment, binder, and solvent. Pigment is the colored portion of the paint. It is often a finely ground material that is either found in nature or artificially produced. Binder holds the individual grains of pigment together. In oil paint, the most common binder is linseed oil, which typically dries to the touch in about one week. The binder in most acrylic paint is an acrylic resin; the binder in watercolor paint is a natural resin called gum arabic. Solvent is a liquid that thins the paint. The most common solvent in oil painting is turpentine. Water is the solvent for acrylic emulsion and watercolor paints.

Rock fans will be ready for a long, energetic day Saturday at the state fairgrounds' infield.
KRockathon 14 will feature a big, boisterous batch of modern rock bands.
Headliners include Three Doors Down, Papa Roach and Chevelle.
Also on the main stage will be Street Sweeper Social Club, Atreyu, 10 Years, Sick Puppies, Framing Hanley and Since October.
That's not all.
The second stage will feature national and Central New York bands including Merit, Cry to the Blind, Sugar Red Drive, Dead Rose and Freya.
The stages will run alternate sets, allowing station officials to brag, "Once they start, there will never be a moment without music at KRockathon 14."
By the way, this isn't the first time KRockathon will be held at the fairgrounds' infield. Between stints at Vernon Downs, the radio station held KRockathon 5, in 2000, at the fairgrounds. (In 2004, KRock moved the event to the Cayuga County Fairgrounds in Weedsport.)
What I wrote in the next day's Post-Standard:
"For the most part, bigger was, well, bigger. All the vendor tents and sideshows lining the infield made the festival look like the late, great Lollapalooza, that granddaddy of the one-day summer blasts that used to travel from city to city."
Tickets for KRockathon 14 are $37.
Trumpet player Charlie Bertini will spend a fruitful week back in his hometown area.
Bertini, who's come back from Florida in late spring every year for the past quarter century to preside over the AppleJazz Fest in Little York, will play two area shows in the coming 10 days.
The native of Cortland will perform a free show 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday as part of a "dance and swing" concert at the Skaneateles Gazebo, in Clift Park.
At 8 p.m. Aug. 15, Bertini will be the featured guest artist with The Ageless Jazz Band at the Community School of Music and Arts in downtown Ithaca. The Ageless Jazz Band is an 18-piece big band directed by Nick Pauldine.
Tickets for that one are $15 in advance, $17 at the door. They are available online at
The fiddle of Joe Davoli and guitar of Harvey Nusbaum will be featured in this month's First Friday concert at Onativia Methodist Church, 6543 Dodge Road, LaFayette.
"It is due to performers of this caliber that our music series at the 'little white church in the valley' has continued to grow," says founder Sherrie Hart.
As has become the tradition, there is no admission fee. However, donations are accepted to compensate the musicians.
Alligator Records veteran Guitar Shorty will play the blues at 8 p.m. today at the Geneva Country Club, 4147 W. Lake Road, Geneva.
"Defiant, electric blues with piercing intensity and raw venom that will leave your ears singed," says The Chicago Tribune.
Shorty will bring material from his latest CD, "We the People," which one the contemporary blues album of the year award from Blues Music.
Tickets at the door are $15.
When veteran Syracuse guitarist and producer Mark Doyle released "Shake 'em on Down" with his new band The Maniacs this spring, I wrote:
"Call it a magic carpet ride through the glory and power first crafted by Them ('Mystic Eyes'), the Yardbirds ('I'm Not Talking' and 'Smokestack Lightning'), Peter Green ('Fleetwood Mac' and 'Sandy Mary') , Savoy Brown ('Shake'em on Down' and 'Needle and Spoon'), John Mayall ('Parchman Farm') and Robin Trower ('Messin' the Blues'). Thanks to the pristine sound captured and mixed by Jocko at More Sound in Syracuse, you can hear the love and talent in every delicious, invigorating lick, beat and word."
Reviewer Rick Allen of Vintage Guitar caught the bug, too.
Here's what he wrote for the upcoming, October edition:
"Opening with a faithfully frantic version of Them's 'Mystic Eyes,' this disc hits the ear like a slap; sweat-drenched rock-and-roll glory with Strat-man Doyle slicking off in some 'Rollin' and Tumblin'' licks while drummer Frank DeFonda and bassist Michael P. Ryan beat their instruments like rented mules."
There's more to see when Allen's review comes out.
The band plays Sept. 19 at Bear Bones in Auburn.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- As Rob Cervini trotted off the field and toward the tunnel, he had no idea he was about to break up a family moment.
The Martinek Family, with tears in their eyes, moved their own son -- running back Joe -- out of the way for a hug.
"I'm so proud of you Rob," an emotional Joe Martinek, Sr. told Cervini as he hugged the sophomore over the fence. "You worked hard and you deserved that."
Winning a third-straight bowl game was special for Rutgers Monday night, but it was extra-sweet for Cervini.
The walk-on wasn't even a part of the active roster until 10 days ago, when he became the team's new holder. Monday in the first quarter, he ran the ball in for the team's first touchdown of the game. A play that surprised everyone, including himself.
"He (Greg Schiano) put it in last week," Cervini said. "I had a ton of nerves. My first play ever? I was practicing that play last night at 11 o'clock before I went to bed in my room with my roommate. He thought I had something wrong with me."
The walk-on from Suffern, N.Y., was part of a bigger theme Monday night for the Scarlet Knights. Big plays by the defense and special teams.
It seemed as though every time Rutgers needed a momentum-swinging play, a player on one of those units was there to make it.
Free safety Courtney Greene started the game off on the right foot for Rutgers, stripping running back Andre Brown on North Carolina State's very first play of the game. The fumble -- which was recovered by cornerback Jason McCourty -- gave Rutgers excellent field position at the 50-yard line.
"Coming into the game, we knew we were similar teams," Greene said. "We knew a couple of plays would change the game. But you could see that one in the first half didn't mean much. But we just had to re-group and play Rutgers football."
Then, in the third quarter, it was linebacker Kevin Malast who blocked a punt, giving Rutgers field position inside the Wolfpack's territory. Not only that, but it led to the Scarlet Knights' second touchdown of the game -- an 11-yard pass to wide receiver Tiquan Underwood.
"Every time you look at a football game after it's over, there's probably six or seven critical plays," Schiano said. "Obviously those (Cervini touchdown and Malast block) were two of them. ... The blocked punt, I thought we had an opportunity to get it, but I wasn't sure. But it came at a critical juncture."
Malast though, wasn't supposed to be the player trying to block the punt. He said that he slipped free and all of a sudden, the next thing he knew, the ball was inches from his facemask.
"It wasn't even meant for me to block it," he said. "I just through the shoulder of the guy in front of me and my facemask actually was what blocked the ball. That's why it went so high. I just blew into the play and it was right there in my face."
Rutgers' three interceptions helped keep the team afloat, even as the offense was struggling to get its sea legs. Linebacker Ryan D'Imperio picked off Wolfpack backup quarterback Harrison Beck at the goal line in the third quarter.
The turnovers by North Carolina State was what head coach Tom O'Brien thought did his team in.
"We certainly didn't play what we feel (was) our best game," O'Brien said. "But we played hard and overcame some things. We turned the ball over too much and I think that was the story of the game."
Greene sealed the victory with an interception off of third-string quarterback Daniel Evans with nine seconds left in the game. Afterward he couldn't remember the coverage that he was playing during that pass. However, Schiano came up with a new nickname for it.
"I think it's called interception coverage," Schiano joked.

Creative Assembly reveals the Macedonia playable faction for Total War: Rome II
The Macedonians have become the latest playable to be revealed for Total War: Rome II.
Of all the factions in the game the Macedonians quite possibly have the most to prove as they were once rulers of one of the largest empires the Western world has ever known under the leadership of Alexander The Great.
Macedonia presents a unique tactical challenge as it is hemmed in on all sides by potential enemies from the other Greek states like Rhodes and Athens to the warriors of Illyria and Thrace.
More is available about the factions announced so far on the official Total War Wiki. Total War: Rome II is expected to be released on PC later this year.

Superior Court Judge Frederick De Vesa also found that there is probable cause to charge Kevin Jones with assaulting one of Bombelyn's campaign workers who was photographing him with the pile of ballots at Pine Street Park on Saturday.However, De Vesa found no probable cause to charge Jones with robbery for striking Gideon Weisberg's hand in order to dislodge his camera.
Weisberg filed the charges against Jones, who has worked for the city for almost 12 years and makes $59,789 a year, Saturday afternoon in New Brunswick municipal court after the incident, but the municipal court judge would not act on the complaints because Jones worked for the mayor.
The Bombelyn campaign brought the complaints to Superior Court Judge Travis Francis, the county's assignment judge, who assigned it to De Vesa.
Weisberg told the judge in a hearing this afternoon that he went to the park to talk to potential voters and saw the man later identified as Kevin Jones sitting on a bench surrounded by stacks of the ballots.
He said he walked up to Jones and asked him if he was "counting ballots."
"He (Jones) saw my clip board (with Bombelyn's campaign literature) and told me to get....out of here," Weisberg said.
Weisberg said he went to talk to talk to some of people in the park and Jones followed him and "interfered with our conversation. He got into my face and told me to get out."
He said he left and went home, but called one of the campaign's volunteer attorneys who said they had to go back and photograph Jones with the ballots.
Weisberg and the attorney, William Ayala, testified they drove to the park, saw Jones sitting on the bench with the ballots and Weisberg, using his own camera, took pictures.
On another pass by, Ayala slowed down so Weisberg could videotape Jones with the ballots, at which time Jones came up to the car.
The two witnesses said after some pleasantries, Jones demanded to know who they were and then struck Weisberg's hand which dislodged the camera. The camera fell out of the car. Jones picked it up and refused to return it, Weisberg said.
A police officer came by and, after talking to the participants, took the camera from Jones and gave it to Weisberg.
Ayala said he and Weisberg then went to police headquarters to file the complaints against Jones.
A city spokesman said Jones was not working today.
The judge set June 30 as the next date for a hearing on the charges.
In a related matter, Superior Court Judge Lewis Paley ordered that 47 mail-in ballots alleged handled by Jones will be counted, but must be held kept separately for further investigation.
"We can count them but we have to preserve them for a hearing June 17," said Sylvia Engle, chairman of the Middlesex County Board of Elections.
George Forbes, a Jersey City lawyer who is assisting the Bombelyn campaign, said he sought a show cause order to challenge ballots that the campaign claims Jones was handling.
"Witness said he was a little too involved with the ballots," Forbes said.
Paul Josephson, a Princeton attorney representing the Cahill campaign, called the order to preserve the ballot unnecessary because all the voting materials must be kept for two years.
Josephson called the show cause "a distraction" and "the typical election day shenanigans I've been seeing for the last 25 years."

To the Journal editor:
Accelerate U.P. is not grassroots if Rio Tinto is involved, funding it yet! I'm surprised and extremely disappointed that you have played right into Rio Tinto's hands and allowed them to invade our community even more.
Has anyone seen "Promised Land," with Matt Damon? The movie very effectively shows how a big, extractive (in this case, natural gas, through fracking) company attempts to schmooze and buy (and donate) themselves into a community.
The film's world-known company even sponsors the local Little League team, with their logo on the back of the kid's jerseys. Sound familiar?
It's way past time to pull the wool away from our eyes. When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?

The last year has been the most prolific period of Poster Children's long and illustrious career. Following 1999's self-produced debut on spinART, New World Record, Poster Children assumed their instrumental alter-ego Salaryman for a splendid groovy effort on Karoshi earlier this year. Singing again, the lads offer up DDD, the first anthem album of 2000 for the indie rock crowd.
Considering they've barely taken a breather, DDD is an unbelievably polished and fully-conceived work. In fact, it's not a stretch to say the workaholicism has been a boon for the band, pushing their artistic limits and stoking the fires of their creativity to new heights. "Judge Freeball" and "Peck N' Paw" are funky instrumentals more in keeping with their Krautrock Salaryman persona than classic Poster Children, but that's merely one element of this wildly diverse album. Sporting intense and dark, attack dog guitar, noisy rock ("Time Share"), spacey, psychedelic pop that wouldn't be out of place on a Ride or Swervedriver album ("Strange Attractors"), and bouncy punk/pop ("Rock and Roll"), DDD is an indie rock tour de force and the best album of the band's career.

Cusack, Patricia A.
West Paterson, N.J.
Thank you for your Special Report on Brain Injury ["War on the Brain," September/October 2006]. Traumatic brain injury is a silent epidemic, and it feels so good to be validated. In 2004 I was struck on the head and neck by a large backpack. I was working at a department store in the jewelry department and, while assisting a customer, I was knocked to the ground. Everything went black and I saw stars, but I could hear the people around me talking. I remember feeling a tremendous amount of pain. The most frustrating and lonely part was dealing with the doctors who were so dismissive of my symptoms and pain. I searched for help and found it in Dr. Frank Gazzillo of North Jersey Neurologic Associates. Two years later I still suffer with pain because I have cervical and lumbar radiculopathy, and I also have "classic" migraines.
My family is very supportive, and they understand when I can't handle all the noise or when I can't remember something I may have done or said recently. Sometimes I just need to check out, take my medications, and lie down because the pain in my head, neck, or back is so bad. I miss the old me, but at 38 I am accepting the new me.
Thank you for bringing other people's stories and traumatic brain injury to the medical field's attention.

"I need to convince people I can run a damn city," Smith said Wednesday, "that I'm not going to run us off a cliff."
But as one of the two Portland mayoral candidates still standing, the 38-year-old Smith is trending in the right direction ... and looking to Allison Belcher for another six months of inspiration.
Despite a late start on campaigning and fund raising, Smith finished second to Charlie Hales in Tuesday's primary, drawing 31 percent of the vote. The east Portland legislator grew on folks, I would argue, because he alone of the major candidates doesn't feel compelled to turn every question into a screaming yellow highlighter for his resume.
"I deal with elections differently than other politicians who have been successful," Smith said outside the Bipartisan Cafe on Southeast Stark. "I don't think they're supposed to only be a sales job. This is really our only chance to talk to a big chunk of the city and figure out what the heck we're going to do.
"The city rebuilding confidence in itself is more important than me being mayor or Charlie being mayor."
Smith is blunt when asked to frame the choice facing voters in November: "Forward versus backward. In the last 20 years, our city has developed bad habits based on having truckloads of cash from the federal government. Our reality has changed. We have to ask the hard questions well before the public criticism, whether it's a sustainability center, the CRC (Columbia River Crossing) or a moratorium on system development charges."
But Smith insists that several aspects of the mayor's race won't change as Eileen Brady and 20 other candidates exit.
He won't go negative: "The citizens of Portland are more concerned about their water, sewer and garbage bills than they are about a candidate's tax bill."
He will once again ask Hales to agree to limits on either overall expenditures or individual contributions in the campaign.
"I think we can raise a lot of money, and I'm the one candidate who hasn't had to take out a big loan," Smith said. "But it would be good for the city, the campaign and our brains."
Smith made the same pitch to Brady and Hales during the primary: "I wrote them a letter. Eileen wrote back. She said, 'Thank you. No.'"
("That," Jessica Moskovitz, Hales' campaign manager, said, "was a lifetime ago. It's certainly something Charlie would consider if Jefferson proposed a more detailed version to us. It would certainly have to include independent expenditures.")
And Smith will evoke the spirit of Belcher whenever possible.
The movement to replace Harbor Drive with Waterfront Park, Smith reminds us, was ignited in 1969 when Belcher and friends held picnics on the site, lofting signs that read, "Imagine if this were a park."
"We don't need the best autocrat," Smith said. "That's not how this city works. We need to catalyze citizen leadership. The thing the city got right, and the lesson of Waterfront Park, is not a commitment to sustainability, but a commitment to democracy. And that's the thing we have to get right again."

Andrew Danforth, 2, was out walking through the Cascade 30th Street Cemetery with his mother last week, when they happened upon a group of Boy Scouts placing flags on veterans' graves for Memorial Day observance.
Eagle Scout John Donovan, from Troop 345 stepped back from his duty to allow Andrew to place the flag at his grandfather's grave.
Mom, Alisson Danforth, and her family often visit the cemetery where son Andrew placed the flag, because that is the final resting place for not only Robert E. Danforth, LCDR U.S. Navy, who served in the Korean War, but also for three more of Andrew's ancestors – the first of whom served in the United States Civil War.
The earliest Danforth veteran buried in Cascade Cemetery is Dr. Mortimer William Danforth, who fought for the Union cause during the Civil War, with Company G, 115th Ohio infantry. While Danforth was originally from Ohio, after the war he settled in Cascade – the Danforth homestead, located at what is now the intersection of Cascade Road and Orange Street in the heart of Cascade Village, was one of the earliest settlers in Cascade. Dr. Danforth was Andrew's great, great, great, great grandfather.
Also buried at the local cemetery is Mortimer E. Danforth, who was a WWI field medic and Andrew's great, great, great grandfather. The only grandfather in the Danforth line who did not serve during a war was great grandfather Robert Mortimer Danforth, whose grave is located directly behind where Andrew stood to place the flag.
Also pictured is Alex Korff, 7, from Boy Scout Pack 3364.

Some years ago I had the pleasure of joining a tour of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's restoration facility in Silver Hill, Maryland. There, I encountered a fascinating collection of aircraft and pieces of aircraft. At each stop the docent conducting the tour provided interesting, sometimes colorful anecdotes. Near a TBF Avenger, he explained that the manufacturer's intent was to produce a truly sturdy, survivable plane. As he put it, "First Grumman built a mockup out of concrete, and then they made the real plane even heavier."

For us Portland viewers, it's been particularly frustrating watching Season 11 so far, because our local designer, Franklin, has been stuck on the team that keeps losing challenges.
Franklin has had plenty of camera time to talk about the travails of her team, but the format short-changes members of the losing team when it comes to getting on-camera comments about their looks from the judges.
Since Franklin's Dream Team -- a nightmare if ever there was one -- keeps flopping, Franklin's perfectly presentable looks get short shrift.
Judges Heidi Klum, Zac Posen, Nina Garcia and whoever the guest judge is talk about the winners, who come from the team that wins. And they talk about the losers, who come from the team that loses.
But if a designer makes a look that's stuck on the losing team but isn't so heinous it has to be publicly shamed, the designer exits, with barely a peep from the judges.
(Related reading: 'Project Runway' Season 11: Another nightmare for the Dream Team)
Maybe tonight, sanity will prevail, and they'll break up the teams. Enough already with Team Keeping it Real (cliche alert!) winning every challenge. The designers tonight must create looks from hard and soft materials and, apparently, there's a twist. At this stage, the only truly shocking twist would be if there wasn't a twist.
But hey, Bette Midler's on hand as a guest judge, which should be a hoot. The episode airs at 9 p.m. on Lifetime. Watch for my recap of the highs, lows and fashion crimes of the episode tomorrow morning right here on Oregonlive.com/tv

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Detailed legislation to establish a statewide property tax cap, continue New York City rent controls and review state mandates is expected to be approved soon by the state Legislature.
The 146-page bill codifies agreements among legislative leaders and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to restore for four more years the expiring city rent controls on roughly a million apartments housing 2.5 million tenants.
It raises the thresholds for rent and tenant income that would allow landlords to deregulate apartments.
The property tax provision in the bill being taken up Friday evening would generally limit annual tax increases to 2 percent or the inflation rate.
A new mandate relief council would review municipal and school district complaints about burdensome regulations. A two-thirds council vote would refer them to the governor for repeal or modification.

Share power, Peres tells main parties
A man next to a rotating sign showing Kadima leader Tzipi Livni and Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu
President Shimon Peres is to spend the coming days trying to convince the leaders of Kadima and Likud to find a way of power-sharing in a national unity government.
Senior members of Kadima and Yisrael Beiteinu are already conducting quiet talks on a possible coalition of the three largest parties in the Knesset.
However, Likud is still trying to form a right-wing government as a first step before offering cabinet places to Kadima.
Mr Peres has been holding consultations with representatives of all the parties in the Knesset. On Wednesday he said that "the problem is not only who will be the prime minister but what will be the policy of the state of Israel".
His words were seen as an appeal to Kadima leader Tzipi Livni and Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu to find a way to resolve their differences and cooperate in a unity government.
Likud are still insisting that, since the right-wing bloc has a majority, Mr Netanyahu should be prime minister. Kadima have slightly retreated from their demand that Ms Livni, as leader of the largest party, must be the premier.
"I am almost certain that we are going to have a national unity government," said Kadima MK Othniel Schneller. "Tzipi should head it as the leader of the largest party but since the election results were inconclusive, a rotating premiership between her and Netanyahu is appropriate."
Mr Netanyahu has ruled out a rotating premiership so far. However, he will keep a number of ministries vacant for Kadima if he forms a government.
Mr Netanyahu has still not secured a majority of Knesset members prepared to recommend him as prime minister. The small right-wing and religious parties have pledged support but he still needs Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu to achieve an overall majority.
Mr Lieberman has yet to indicate his intentions. Instead, he went on holiday to Belarus, leaving representatives to conduct talks with Kadima and Likud. Both parties have acceded to most of Yisrael Beiteinu's policy demands.
"There are no great secrets here," said Yisrael Beiteinu MK Danny Ayalon. "Both parties have offered us similar things, and what we will convey to the president is our desire for a stable government which will emphasise our civil agenda and electoral reform. It is not about the prime minister but about the government's policies."
Mr Ayalon noted that Likud had erred by promising Shas that it would be a central coalition member. Shas is now vetoing Yisrael Beiteinu's demands for civil marriage and conversion reform.
While Likud is still vying for Lieberman's support, no party apart from Kadima will recommend Ms Livni.
The Arab parties announced that, in the wake of the Gaza operation, they would support neither candidate. Meretz and Labour will not support Ms Livni, in protest over her acceptance of Mr Lieberman as a coalition partner.
Labour is in disarray following its worst-ever election result of 13 Knesset seats. On Saturday, former party leader Amir Peretz announced that he would be running for the leadership in an attempt to depose Mr Barak, and other senior members have already called for his resignation.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - David Renz's rape victim sued the federal probation office today for $110 million, claiming its officers' "constant stream" of failures to monitor him last year allowed him to attack the suburban Syracuse girl and murder a school librarian.
The lawsuit accuses the U.S. Probation Office of failing to follow its policies on monitoring a criminal defendant released from jail on an electronic ankle bracelet.
Renz tampered with the bracelet 46 times in the nine weeks leading up to his attack on the girl, who was 10, and Liverpool school librarian Lori Bresnahan on March 14, 2013, the lawsuit said.
The probation office was unaware of 36 of the alerts because the monitor's vendor had suggested two years earlier that it stop sending notifications for any tamper alert that lasted less than five minutes.
The probation office did not properly respond to the other 10 alerts, which did last longer than five minutes. At one point, Renz's probation officer, Steven Acquilano, told him to stop playing loud music, apparently believing that was causing the tamper alerts, the lawsuit said.
Acquilano, who no longer works for the probation office, was one of four employees of the office named as defendants in the lawsuit. The others were Matthew Brown, the head of the Syracuse office; Lori Albright, Acquilano's supervisor; and officer Ellen Phillips, who was at Renz's court hearing in January 2013.
Brown and Acquilano have said they could not comment.
Renz, 30, dismantled the bracelet then reassembled it and left it on the bed of his mother's home in Cicero before going to Great Northern Mall in Clay. He got into the Bresnahan's car in the parking lot armed with what appeared to be a handgun, the lawsuit said.
Renz bound Bresnahan and the girl then sexually assaulted the girl in the back seat while they were parked in a remote area of the mall parking lot, the lawsuit said. He then ordered Bresnahan to drive to Verplank Road, the lawsuit said.
As Renz attacked her, Bresnahan yelled for the girl to run, which she did, and a passerby came to her rescue, the suit said. The girl watched the Bresnahan, covered in blood, get out of the car, walk along the road and collapse from the stab wounds Renz had inflicted, the suit said.
As a result of the probation office's failure to monitor Renz, the girl suffered "severe and permanent disabling injuries," both mentally and physically, the lawsuit said. The attack left her "emotionally and psychologicially scarred," the suit said.
The probation office's failure to properly monitor Renz "constituted a constant stream of ongoing ministerial violations" of its own regulations, the lawsuit said.
Renz pleaded guilty in Onondaga County Court last year to murdering Bresnahan and raping the girl. He's scheduled to be sentenced May 16.
He was sentenced two weeks ago to 30 years in prison for possessing more than 11,000 images of child pornography and more than 1,100 child porn videos.
Renz was on pre-trial release from jail on the child pornography charge when he raped and killed.
The federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of Sheila Ben, a lawyer representing the girl's property. The lawyer who filed the suit, John Cherundolo, also sued Renz, the owner of the mall, Macerich Co., and the manufacturer of the ankle bracelet, Behavioral Interventions Inc., in state court.
Cherundolo filed a claim against the probation office last year, putting the agency on notice of that today's federal lawsuit would likely be filed.

Results tagged ' Greg Dobbs '
Stanton swinging off the tee
Mike Stanton is doing some limited baseball activities.
The past two days the Marlins' right fielder has taken swings off the tee in the batting cages.
"Everything is fine," manager Edwin Rodriguez said.
Stanton strained his right quad in the exhibition opener against the University of Miami last Sunday. He expects to miss at least two weeks of games, but that time table is tentative.
Stanton began taking some swings on Thursday, and he was back in the cages on Friday morning. The next step is to take batting practice on the field, which could be on Sunday.
For now, he isn't doing any running drills.
Other items of note from Rodriguez's morning session with the media:
* John Baker is in the lineup on Friday as the designated hitter. It's his first game action of the spring. Baker is recovering from Tommy John surgery.
* Greg Dobbs (knee) also took swings in the cages on Friday, and he could be game ready by Sunday.
* Chris Coghlan was in the starting lineup playing center field on Friday. But Coghlan is not making any long bus rides until the middle of Spring Training. He won't be traveling to Fort Myers on Saturday.
* Ricky Nolasco is throwing another bullpen session on Friday.
* On Sunday, the Marlins will play Italy in a scrimmage on Field 2 at Roger Dean Stadium. Mike Piazza is a coach on the Italian staff. The start time is 10:30 a.m., before the team plays the Cardinals on the main field.

Nolasco likely No. 2 starter
VIERA, Fla. — All signs are pointing to Ricky Nolasco being ready to be Florida's No. 2 starter when the season opens.
Nolasco has been nursing a sore right thumb, but the right-hander still projects to be ready for the April 2 game against the Mets at Sun Life Stadium.
Josh Johnson will be pitching on Opening Night on April 1.
Nolasco threw a 55-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, and he is expected to throw off the mound again on Friday. The plan is two more bullpen sessions, a live batting practice and a simulated game before he takes the mound in a Spring Training game.
Manager Edwin Rodriguez says Nolasco likely will be throwing in a game on March 13.
"[Game Two] is very realistic if everything stays in order," Rodriguez said. "He should be fine for that."
Rodriguez says Nolasco's body language of late has shown he is ready to pitch.
"He's been bouncing around, and he was having fun, which is always good," Rodriguez said.
Other items of note from Rodriguez's morning press briefing:
* Mike Stanton continues to feel better and walk with limited discomfort. But the right quad will keep him out at least two weeks.
* Greg Dobbs was shaken up after being in a mild collision at first base on Tuesday. Dobbs bruised his knee. He was to be the designated hitter on Wednesday, but he was scratched from the lineup.
* Josh Johnson will throw 55 pitches or three innings on Wednesday.
* The Marlins renewed the contracts of Stanton, Logan Morrison, Ryan Webb and Gaby Sanchez.

JJ to throw three innings
VIERA, Fla. — Marlins ace Josh Johnson, who will pitch in the April 1 season opener, is expected to throw three innings or around 55 pitches on Wednesday against the Nationals at Space Coast Stadium.
Greg Dobbs was supposed to be the designated hitter, but he was scratched because of a sore knee. Dobbs was shaken up on Tuesday when he had a collision at first base. He should be fine.
The Nationals are starting lefty John Lannan.
1) Omar Infante, 2B
2) Dewayne Wise, CF
3) Hanley Ramirez, SS
4) Gaby Sanchez, 1B
5) John Buck, C

Marlins-Cardinals Tuesday lineup
Chris Volstad takes the mound on Tuesday when the Marlins face the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. St. Louis is going with Chris Carpenter.
The Marlins are giving Hanley Ramirez and Omar Infante the day off. Matt Dominguez, who hit a two-run homer on Monday, is back in the lineup at third base.
1) Chris Coghlan, CF
2) Donnie Murphy, SS
3) Logan Morrison, LF
4) John Buck, C
5) Greg Dobbs, 1B

Stanton puts on a show
JUPITER, Fla. — Josh Johnson faced Hanley Ramirez. Matt Dominguez ran with the first team in a number of infield drills, and Chris Coghlan got his first taste of playing center field.
There were plenty of storylines to follow in the Marlins first full-squad workouts on Tuesday afternoon at the Roger Dean Stadium complex.
But the most jaw-dropping part of the day came on a back field during batting practice. Mike Stanton launched a number of mammoth drives well past the left field wall and near the town homes across the street.
In a group with Logan Morrison and Coghlan, Stanton put on a show for a small gathering. A couple of fans positioned outside the walls ran down the baseballs. One fan had at least three baseballs in each hand as he ran to gather even more Stanton drives.
Catcher Brett Hayes, who was in the group that followed Stanton, joked: "Save some baseballs for us, Mike."
Other notable moments from Day One:
* In live batting practice, Johnson pitched to a group that included Ramirez. The two All-Stars faced each other, but it was pretty basic stuff as Johnson is working on his pitches, and Ramirez is getting his timing down. Johnson, like all the pitchers, was throwing behind a screen, while the hitters were under the "turtle" batting cage.
* Former Marlins bullpen coordinator Pierre Arsenault is now a scout in the organization. Arsenault, who was on Florida's staff from 2002-10, watched Tuesday's workouts.
* During infield drills, the starting unit was Gaby Sanchez at first, Omar Infante at second, Ramirez at short and Dominguez at third. Backing up at each position were Wes Helms (first), Emilio Bonifacio (second), Donnie Murphy (shortstop) and Greg Dobbs (third).
* Johnson, Chris Volstad and Javier Vazquez all threw live batting practice on Tuesday.
* Murphy, who is recovering from surgery to repair a dislocated right wrist, participated in field drills, and he faced live pitching. The team still plans on not overload Murphy in hitting too much early in camp.
* John Baker, returning from Tommy John surgery to his throwing arm, took part in live batting practice. Baker is on a throwing program, tossing off flat ground at 90 feet, and he is building up to 120 feet.
* Wednesday's workouts begin at 10 a.m. ET, and they are open to the public.

Dobbs, Hill sign Minor League deals
The Marlins have another candidate to challenge for the left-handed bat off the bench role.
Greg Dobbs, who has spent the past four seasons with the Phillies, has signed a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training.
The 32-year-old also is a candidate to play either first or third base. In 88 games with the Phillies last year, Dobbs batted .196 with five homers and 15 RBIs.
Dobbs' best seasons were in 2007 and 2008. In '07, he batted .272 with 10 homers and 55 RBIs in 142 games. On Philadelphia's 2008 World Series title team, Dobbs appeared in 128 games and he belted nine homers while driving in 40 runs. He batted .301 that season.
Dobbs has 292 career pinch-hit at-bats, and he has a .250 average in that role. But last year, he struggled and was 6-for-49 as a pinch-hitter.
The Marlins on Monday also officially announced the signing of right-hander Shawn Hill to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training.

J.J.-Bartlett's Oklahoma connection
On Friday night, Marlins right-hander Josh Johnson is expected to pitch to Tampa Bay's Jason Bartlett. Aside from being competitors, these two have a little history, dating back to Oklahoma.
Johnson, Florida's ace pitcher, used to watch Bartlett play baseball at the University of Oklahoma.
In fact, Bartlett was a college teammate of Johnson's older brother, Tyler, an outfielder at OU from 2001-03.
Tyler, listed at 6-foot-3, 220-pounds during his college days, was two school years ahead of Josh, who is now making a strong case to become a National League All-Star.
The Marlins drafted Johnson in the fourth round in 2002. Had the right-hander not signed with Florida, he planned on attending OU to be on the same team with his brother.
Many times Johnson watched the Sooners play, and he saw Bartlett at the college level before he became a big league shortstop. Greg Dobbs of the Phillies also played at OU at the time.

The Good Samaritan Bill should be signed into law. It is a measured response to very real life threatening danger! Without quick action, a drug or alcohol overdose can lead to death. If there is a quick response, lives can be saved! The right and quick response to an OD can have another strong and long-term advantage. It can open the door for real help for addicts who have heretofore only felt the positive effects of drugs or alcohol.
An overdose is a horrible and traumatic event in the lives of the family and friends of the victim, as well as the surviving victim him/herself. The victim coughs and coughs and eventually may suffocate on the fluid built up in the lungs. The OD has a strong impact on the victim, friends and family, often lasting a lifetime, whether the victim survives or not. We should understand the reactions and feelings and fall-out after this life changing event. The hope is that a highly emotional and intense reaction to an OD will open the door for help. Naturally, death from an overdose will cause even a stronger reaction, but with quick action, this may be avoided.
That said, the fact is that addicts who survive an OD will often continue their drug addiction immediately, rationalizing the event as they have for years rationalized their addiction and whatever they must do to sustain it. I have known addicts, lying in a hospital bed recovering from an OD, calling their friends to bring drugs to their bedside! Also, it is very common that addict friends of the victim of an OD will look for the source of the drugs that caused the OD so that they can get that same spectactular "high." Addicts have reported to me that they have removed the needle and syringe from a dying friend just to get the same "high!"
Sound crazy? To non-addicts yes but to the addict, it makes sense to find the best and most powerful drug that produces the most extraordinary feeling and the best "high!" The words "common sense" and "rational thinking" don't apply to the hardcore addict who often spends every minute of every day focused on one thing: "the next fix." This is why the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is now calling addiction "a disease." To the outside observer, all the actions of an addict defy logic or understanding. "He/she must be sick." In fact, we have determined that addiction for the most part has genetic roots and is seen in families and entire cultures as well.
However, the victim's addict friends are deeply affected by the OD of a friend and are often potentially ready at that time to give up the substances. They often do but the break will be short lived. That moment is the best time to offer intervention and/or treatment and this help should be available when the OD is reported. This doesn't need to be part of the proposed bill but if the Governor finally signs it or if his veto is overridden, I and many others will be happy to work on the language for the essential intervention and/or treatment option when an OD occurs.

Authorities are pushing for a Kiwi property developer now living in Las Vegas to stay a bankrupt for another three years.
Rod Nielsen was declared bankrupt in 2009 over a $14.5 million debt to failed finance company Bridgecorp, which was given to fund the Lake Esplanade development in Queenstown.
Nielsen became known in the early 2000s for substandard and incomplete terraced housing developments.
The 45-year-old is today having his affairs examined before Justice Geoffrey Venning in the High Court at Auckland, where Nielsen appearing via video-link from Nevada.
Crown lawyer Kathleen Kuang told the Herald before proceedings began that the Official Assignee was pushing for Nielsen to stay bankrupt for a further three years.
Nielsen's lawyer, Andrew Swan, said he was opposing this.
When Nielsen was declared bankrupt in 2009, Justice Paul Heath criticised the developer's "speculative" business attitude.
"Property developers cannot do business on the basis that the market will always be buoyant. Nielsen must take responsibility for being, at best, imprudent or, at worst, commercially irresponsible, " Justice Heath said.
Nielsen's behaviour suggested there was good reason for the Official Assignee to inquire into his behaviour, Justice Heath said.
"Restrictions on his business behaviour, triggered by bankruptcy, are desirable."
In 2009, Nielsen's brother and former business partner Greg was also trying to bankrupt him.

By Rogette Harris
Comedian George Carlin famously said: "The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it."
Although this line got a lot of laughs, there is truth to it. If you dream of one day pulling yourself up by your bootstraps to become the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, it takes more than education, ambition and hard work. With the exception of sports and entertainment, in today's world it takes connections.
Many cities, particularly in the South and the Rust Belt have very low levels of economic mobility according to a study from economists at Harvard University and the University of California-Berkeley.
For example, the study shows that someone born in the bottom fifth of the income ladder in Atlanta, Georgia, where economic mobility is low, has a 4.5 percent chance of reaching the top fifth of the income ladder.
However, the chance of moving up the income ladder in Washington D.C. is about 11 percent since there is a higher chance of economic mobility in the District of Columbia.
New financial data from Open Secrets shows that, for the first time, the average member of Congress is a millionaire.
This is not a partisan issue, since out of the top ten richest Congressional members, three are Republicans and seven are Democrats.
Some members of Congress aren't wealthy, of course, but if President Obama continues with his recent theme of inequality in his State of the Union Address on January 28 and asks for the reinstatement of unemployment benefits, he'll be doing it in front of an audience that has disproportionately benefited from the very phenomenon he'll be describing.
The United States has never been represented by an economic cross-section of the population. Ever since the first Continental Congress, our leaders have been our wealthiest citizens. Nevertheless, wealth inequality today is at record highs.
The GINI coefficient, which measures the distribution of wealth, has soared in the last 50 years. Recently, Oxfam, an international confederation of seventeen organizations working together in more than 90 countries to fight poverty published a startling report showing that the richest 85 people in the world are worth more than the poorest 3.5 billion people.
Even more troubling is that inequality in the United States is among the highest among developed nations. Policy decisions made by our elected officials have contributed to this distorted outcome.
For millions of Americans, the "recovery" has been in name only, particularly since only wealthy lawmakers and their peers have prospered during this "recovery".
The growing gap between rich and poor is more than just the difference between incomes, but also in how each group obtains their money.
According to the Tax Policy Center, wealthy people, including the average member of Congress is more likely to earn money from investments, which is very different from the average American who earns the majority of their money from their day job, which is the real-world economy of jobs, goods and growth.
Another important point in economic mobility is the "who do you know" problem. Most people have limited social circles.
When everybody you know shares a common view of the world, it's hard for new ideas to emerge, and it is hard to network and meet new people in an era when having connections is more important than education, hard work and even drive. Nepotism also complicates economic mobility.
Who your parents are and how much they earn is more significant today than ever before, and makes climbing the ladder even harder.
Not all members of Congress are bad. Some are noble public servants, and fight for policies that best help their constituents. Wealth should never be a disqualifier for public service, nor should it be a prerequisite.
Unfortunately, in today's cash-driven political system, it usually is. Only those with financial means can afford the time it takes to get elected, write the checks if needed, and have the connections needed to finance a winning campaign.
The widening income gap between the rich and the poor is threatening to destroy America's middle class and the viability of the U.S. economy.
Americans have always placed immense belief in economic mobility, and the idea that any child born into poverty can grow up to be middle class, or even rich if he or she gets a good education, works hard, and believes in him or herself.
We need a democracy that represents the people -- all the people, and unfortunately, we're not there yet.

Deal Alert: Verizon Galaxy Nexus On Sale At Walmart For Just 97 Cents
Now that the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon finally has Jelly Bean, this 97 cent deal at Walmart looks even better. There hasn't been any official word from Walmart about the price drop, and the only evidence we have that suggest its real is the above image taken by a Reddit user. If this is in fact a nationwide offer, it's an awesome opportunity to grab the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon with the money you can find hidden between your sofa cushions.
The Galaxy Nexus may not be a textbook definition of cutting-edge hardware anymore, but its place as a Nexus device solidifies that it has a lengthy future with updates, even if they do take a while to get approved by Verizon.
What do you think, an offer you can't refuse?

In a typical example of international research, a team of scientists from USA (MIT), India (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and National Instiute of Mental Health and Neurosciences), and Korea (Seoul National University) have annoounced that they have been able to reverse the effects of mental retardation in specially bred mice.They predict that we can expect similar results in human beings in five years.
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), which is the leading inherited cause of mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism is linked to a mutated X chromosome gene called the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene; when mutated this gene can cause anything from mild learning disabilities to severe autism.
According to Wikipedia: Fragile X syndrome is a syndrome of X-linked mental retardation. Boys with the syndrome may have large testes (macroorchidism), prognathism, hypotonia and autism, and a characteristic but variable face with large ears, long face, high-arched palate, and malocclusion. Additional abnormalities may include lordosis, heart defect, pectus excavatum, flat feet, shortening of the tubular bones of the hands, and joint laxity. Females who have one fragile chromosome and one normal X chromosome may range from normal to mild manifestations of the fragile X syndrome. The fragile X syndrome has an estimated incidence of 1 in 3600 males and 1 in 4,000-6,000 females.
The FXS mice showed abnormalities similar to those in FXS patients, including hyperactivity, purposelessness, repetitive movements, attention deficits and difficulty with learning and memory.
The scientists found that When the enzyme P21-activated kinase (PAK) was inhibited with the FXS mice, electrical communication between neurons in the brains of the mice were restored and their behavioral abnormalities were corrected.
The researchers suggest that by inhibiting PAK the debilitating symptoms of FXS in children could also possibly be countered.The Indian contribution to the research involved monitoring how the neurons in the brain were altered in the mentally challenged.
Co-author Susumu Tonegawa, a Picower Professor of Biology and Neuroscience at MIT says the results were intriguing because it suggests that PAK inhibitors could be used for therapeutic purposes to reverse already established mental impairments in fragile X children - thus holding out a ray of hope for the millions living with mental retardation.
The Indian authors in the study are B. S. Shankaranarayana Rao (NIMHANS) and Sumantra Chattarji (TIFR). Other scientists involved in the study are Mansuo L. Hayashi, Jin-Soo Seo, Han-Saem Choi, Bridget M. Dolan and Se-Young Choi.

ALCS tickets go on sale Monday at 10am
The postseason is still nine days away, but the time to get in on tickets is now. The Tigers will put tickets for potential ALCS home games on sale this coming Monday at 10am ET.

- Game 1: Saturday, Oct. 8 (at higher seed)
- Game 2: Sunday, Oct. 9 (at higher seed)

- Game 4: Wednesday, Oct. 12 (at lower seed)
- Game 5: Thursday, Oct. 13 (at lower seed)
- Game 6: Saturday, Oct. 15 (at higher seed)
- Game 7: Sunday, Oct. 16 (at higher seed)

Can't forget the stupendous decision to throw JV in the 1st game in '06 instead of the world's best pitcher at the time, Kenny Rogers.
JV lost the 1st and the 5th games.
Meanwhile Rogers, whom JL had stuck in his brain could only pitch at Comerica, was relegated to game 2 and did not see another start.
Strange since he was only able to hutout the Cards for 8 innings on 2 hits!!!
JV was a rookie that year. JL chose talent over experieince that time!!!!

The Metro Detroit economy is hurting, but don't tell Wayne State University.
The Detroit News reports full-time undergraduate enrollment is up11 percent this year, and part-time enrollment is up 14 percent.
Total enrollment this year stands at 31,786, up from 31,025.
"Undergraduate enrollment is one of the highest enrollments in the past 12 years," according to Rob Kohrman, budget director for the university.
The university, long known as a commuter school with a solid research reputation, is looking more and more like a traditional university these days.
The university built its first freshman dorm in 2002 with hopes of drawing younger, full-time students to the university.
It looks like it worked.
The Detroit Free Press reported last month that nine years ago, 66 percent of WSU undergrads were younger than 25. Today, that number stands at 77 percent. Similarly, 74 percent of undergrads were full-time students in 2000. Today, 91 percent are.
Kohrman told the News the university received a record number of applications from Oakland County this year, but enrollment of students from Detroit is down.
"This is the third straight year we have lost 100 or more students from Detroit proper," he said, suggesting the decline in enrollment and graduation rates in the Detroit Public Schools is to blame.
