Veronese Room
The Veronese Room conveys a sensuous, sumptuous feel, with its leather wall covering and an exuberant ceiling painting by the Venetian painter Paolo Veronese and his studio. Different materials and textures, scattered throughout, compete for attention—leather and lace, furniture and fans, porcelain and paintings.
Completed in 2001, extensive conservation of the historic Veronese Room focused on cleaning and conserving the gallery's signature painting adorning its ceiling, Paolo Veronese's The Coronation of Hebe. The Veronese Room is an opulent space with its painted and gilded ceiling, leather wall hangings, antique lace, paintings, furniture, and sculpture. The leather wall hangings, comprised of 500 individual panels, represent the largest collection of European 17th- and 18th-century leather hangings on public view in the United States. Conservation of the individual leather hangings included repairing tears in the leather and the flattening of wrinkles that had developed on their surfaces. Because of its size, which makes it too large to fit through the gallery doors, the Veronese ceiling painting had to be treated in the Veronese Room itself, which served as a conservation studio during the fall and winter of 2000. Conservation of the Veronese Room coffered ceiling involved conservators working on scaffolding hanging 5 inches below the ceiling to clean the gilt surfaces, to replace areas of lost gilding, and to preserve the work's blue paint. Additional upgrades to the lighting in the gallery, as part of the Museum's eight-year Lighting Project, were completed in 2009.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/1/2013 (1691 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The funeral for Manitoba's final homicide victim of 2012 is expected to be attended by the accused killer, the Free Press has learned.
A 42-year-old southern Manitoba man will be laid to rest on Saturday, six days after he was stabbed to death inside his home. The victim's 14-year-old son has been charged with second-degree murder and is being held in custody at the provincial youth centre.
Plans are being made for one of the more unique bail conditions imposed by the courts: The youth would be allowed an escorted temporary leave from jail to witness his father's burial. He would be taken back into custody following the service and would remain behind bars indefinitely.
It's possible he could apply for a full bail release in the future.
A formal request for the emergency release will be made this afternoon. The Crown is consenting to the request, provided several conditions are met to ensure the safety of all who attend the funeral. Those include having sheriff's or correctional officers with the accused at all times. The family of the victim and accused have told lawyers they support the idea. Manitoba victims' services officials are also involved in the matter.
The accused made a brief court appearance on Thursday afternoon in which he fought back tears as lawyers spoke about the unique circumstances of his case, including the proposal to allow him to bid farewell to the father he is accused of killing.
"Are you all right? Do you know what's going on? Do you know where you are?" provincial court Judge Heather Pullan asked the teen.
"Yes," he replied softly, his head hung low as he sat in the prisoner's box.
The victim -- who can't be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act -- suffered multiple stab wounds during the Dec. 30 attack. RCMP were called to a home just after 8 p.m., where they discovered the deceased man and arrested his son.
Police have said little about the circumstances of the slaying. Justice sources told the Free Press the accused had no prior contact with the criminal justice system. RCMP are continuing to investigate.
The Free Press is not identifying the specific community where the homicide happened to avoid indirectly identifying the accused, who is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Returning PIAA qualifiers make Franklin Regional team to beat
Franklin Regional made a first-round exit from last year's WPIAL Class AAA wrestling tournament, but it's what the Panthers accomplished afterward that makes this year so promising.
The Panthers return four wrestlers that reached last year's individual state tournament, including a stellar trio of sophomores, and with so much top-class talent returning, Franklin Regional is poised to be one of the strongest teams in Class AAA this year.
Sophomores Michael Kemerer, Josh Maruca and Josh Shields and junior Tyler Smith all went to Hershey as individuals last season, and together they form the core of a Franklin Regional team that hopes this year to progress further as a unit.
"Our goals are really high, and you always want to shoot for the top," Shields said. "It's great having partners in the (practice) room like these guys because it makes you so much better."
Kemerer was a WPIAL champ and came one win short of an undefeated freshman season when he fell in the 106-pound state final, while Maruca, Shields and Smith all finished in the top six of their weight classes at states. Add in senior heavyweight Luke Fleck, who reached states as a sophomore and was the WPIAL's fourth-place finisher last year, and the Panthers return five wrestlers that already are among the district's best.
"Having kids around your weight that are at your level helps," Maruca said. "You're not the only one on the team trying to get to states; there are other kids around who can push you."
Last season, Franklin Regional was hindered by having too many wrestlers in the lighter weight classes and was unable to fill every class in team matches. Now, as many of its wrestlers are older and growing, the Panthers should find it much easier to field a full squad.
"We're finally filling out the weight classes," Shields said. "We've had some kids really hit the weight room and get bigger. We should be able to put together a really solid team."
"There's still some guys who are the same weight, but overall we've spread out real well," Smith said. "I think we could really take it far in the WPIAL tournament, if not win it this year."
Among the other wrestlers the Panthers will rely on are sophomore Kyle Berk, a 20-match winner as a freshman; sophomore Dom Giannangeli, who last year saw limited time wrestling behind Berk and Kemerer; senior Connor Medlang, who was 14-1 last year in limited action; and junior Brandon Yant, who last year wrestled as high as 152 for FR, despite being certified for 132, which was Shields' class.
By plugging in capable wrestlers around its established stars, Franklin Regional should be able to fashion a lineup this season that will make it a contender in Section 1-AAA and beyond.
"We're all helping each other out, and our coaches are really working us, too," Smith said. "Everybody's been getting into it, and we're ready to get started finally after a long offseason."

Nor'easter Threatens Sandy-Battered East Coast
A nor'easter is threatening New York and New Jersey with a repeat of the misery Superstorm Sandy brought last week.
Thousands of people in low-lying neighborhoods swamped last week are being warned to clear out. Officials say rain, wet snow and 60 mph wind gusts this evening could set back the cleanup from Sandy, toppling trees that were wrenched loose last week, and erasing some of the progress made in restoring electricity.
In New York, police went through vulnerable neighborhoods with loudspeakers, encouraging residents to leave. However, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has not ordered new evacuations. Many people are staying behind, some fearing looting and others who figuring whatever happens can't be any worse than what they've already gone through.
In New Jersey, public works crews have been building up dunes to protect the battered shoreline, and new shelters have been opened. Gov. Chris Christie says this storm is the last thing the state needs right now. He says he's "waiting for the locusts and pestilence next."

Tonight Donatella Versace is unveiling her new Versus Versace JW Anderson line, a capsule collection with a too-wordy name made in collaboration with YBD J.W. Anderson. She is doing so at 9:30 pm, in the form of a concert/party, which feels old-fashioned: very 1980s big top, like when Jean-Paul Gaultier and Thierry Mugler had shows in stadiums, as opposed to recession-restrained. And yet this is, at least strategically, a very new-fangled brand. Essentially, it has been re-built for the on-line world. Read more

It's official! Alternative Tentacles will be releasing the dvd version of the long-awaited "924 Gilman" film directed by Jack Curran and his Scarred Films outfit. Subtitled "Let's Talk about Tact and Timing," the documentary includes interviews with tons of people, including Jello Biafra, Ian MacKaye, Rancid, Offspring, Jesse Michaels, author Wendy-O-Matik, & your AT Mail Male Jesse Luscious. There's also many live performances, including Operation Ivy, Fleshies, Pansy Division, Screeching Weasel, The Frisk, and Ted Leo And The Pharmacists. Some of the proceeds will go directly to the 924 Gilman collective.
In Jack's words:
It was my goal from the beginning was to avoid having a scripted narrator (a good tool but the easy way out). After hours of editing and reediting I think it worked. This documentary features interviews with past and present volunteers that represent most all of the positions required to keep 924 Gilman St. running. (Booking, Security, Stage Managing, Coordinating, Storekeeping, Meeting Secretary etc...). These are the folks that make everything else possible. Let's hear it for the volunteers!"
It'll be in stores in late spring/early summer. Stay tuned for updates!

Re: Update on my dad!
Nikki... in order to "ramp" up the digestive track, clear liquids will be followed by light and easy to digest food. The nurses will listen for gurgling sounds (gas) in your Dad's abdomen. In fact, flatulence will continue to be a focus for a long time to come. In fact, we have numerous (at times hilarious to read) threads on the subject, but it is an important issue for this type of surgery. Each day your Dad will accomplish a bit more and before you know it, he will be sitting in his chair. At present he is in the perfect place for recuperation, as the nurses watch closely over him and are ready to address anything that may come up.
As the others have mentioned, the recuperation time varies for each individual; just know that each day is a step toward complete recuperation.
Tons of good wishes are heading your way,

February 2014
Expeditionary studies majors Garret Cooper and Matt Smith's 750-mile canoe paddle along the Srepok and Mekong rivers in Vietnam and Cambodia has become more than their required senior expedition.
Between being attacked by fire ants and being arrested — twice — by Vietnamese police, the expeditionary studies majors have turned their trek into a floating lifesaving seminar.
Since December, they have taught CPR to ethnic minority and indigenous groups in villages along their route.
For Cooper, this marks his return to Cambodia where he traversed solo down the Mekong in a native wooden boat.
"Along the way, I visited a few villages and believe the people will appreciate this kind of training," he says in the introduction to the pair's blog, "From the Spirit Forest to the Dragon's Mouth."
Cooper said he wanted to do more than just paddle along the route. That kindled the idea of the CPR classes. "The life of a fisherman is dangerous; there are some pretty serious entanglement issues with nets, and of course, there are no (personal flotation devices)."
The mission is an important one: Every day an average of 32 Vietnamese children and six Cambodian children drown because rescuers don't know the basics of CPR.
"I don't know if the training we can provide will ever save a life," Cooper said. "But it might, and that is what we hope for."
To read about their adventures and exploits, including their recent arrests because "they thought we were strange," follow Cooper and Smith through their blog, http://cprexpedition.weebly.com/.
"Everywhere I have traveled, people think I am strange, but they usually just smile or say hello," Cooper said. "But in Vietnam, they arrested us."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/11/2012 (1738 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The venue was smaller, the intensity level virtually nil and the stakes nonexistent.
So, no, this isn't the homecoming Jonathan Toews had in mind when the NHL made its triumphant return to Winnipeg a year-and-a-half ago.
In a perfect, non-lockout world, Toews and his Chicago Blackhawks -- who did not pay a visit in Year 1 of the Jets' rebirth -- would have stepped onto the ice in front of another raucous, sold-out crowd at the MTS Centre for the second game of the 2012-13 NHL season back on Oct. 16.
Instead, the Blackhawks' captain was darting around the ice in front of a capacity crowd of about 1,700 at Max Bell Centre at the University of Manitoba and sporting a blue NHL Players' Association jersey in the "Goals For Dreams" charity game that featured 17 NHLers and members of the Winnipeg Police Patrolmen Hockey Club.
But the silver lining is this: The event helped raise $80,000 for The Dream Factory and The Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.
"It was great," said Toews. "You saw the fans... they're excited and they want to watch hockey and have their Jets back. Everyone knows it was an exciting year for the Jets to be back in Winnipeg last year. I was excited to get my chance to come back here and play in October. That didn't happen, unfortunately. But this is a pretty good substitute for the time being.
"I was just talking to the guys... It feels good to be able to play in front of the fans again. It was a great opportunity to do it. I'm definitely happy we came out."
As the Goals for Dreams was unfolding word was breaking about the NHL and the NHLPA getting together for another meeting Monday in New York. But those sort of news flashes, now that the lockout is now into its third month, are in one ear and out the other for many -- including the players.
"Even when there's been progress we always tell ourselves not to get overly optimistic," said Toews. "It's been a thing the league likes to do, they almost toy with the emotions of the players and the fans, especially when they say there's progress and they might be getting close (to a deal). Everyone gets excited thinking there might be a deal made and the next thing you know the rug gets pulled out from underneath our feet pretty quick.
"I think fans are starting to understand that and are maybe getting as frustrated as the players are with that type of thing. We know not to take it too seriously until things are done."
Toews has been one of the more outspoken players during this process and his frustration was obvious again Saturday afternoon. Instead of talking about a Hawks' win streak or dissecting problems on the power play, he's talking about hockey-related revenue and splitting up what was once a $3.3-billion pie. And if it's old reading and hearing about it, it's even older living it.
"It feels really unnecessary for so many reasons," said Toews. "You go to the meetings, you're on the phone calls, you do everything you can and there's a lot of principles. At the end of the day we feel that we have that advantage in that you can make arguments that always end up in our favour, but it doesn't really matter in the eyes of fans. They want to see hockey.
"We knew coming into it that we'd have to be patient. We're getting to that point where it's tough but, as players, we're staying strong and we're doing what we have to do."

Remarks to the press: Ambassador Wittig on Children and Armed Conflict - CAAC
(near-verbatim transcript of remarks by Security Council President Ambassador Wittig, following a meeting of the Security Council on Children and Armed Conflict)
Wittig: "Good afternoon, It's a pleasure for me to be here with the new SRSG Laila Zerrougui. I will make a few remarks and then she takes over.
This morning the Security Council adopted a resolution on the protection of children in armed conflict that sent out important messages and contains some major elements:
First it safeguards the integrity of the current mechanisms of the United Nations on the protection of children in armed conflicts.
Secondly it emphasizes the need for further measures regarding the persistent perpetrators of violations of children's rights.
And thirdly it tasks the Secretary-General to continue submitting the annual reports – very important documents – on the situation of children in armed conflict.
You may have noted that we had a very, very good echo for this open debate: Over 50 speakers are inscribed in the list, 30 countries co-sponsored that draft resolution. We take this as a great sign of the interest and the commitment of lot of member states for this important cause.
As you might know, the protection agenda for children in armed conflict is one of the priorities of Germany's Presidency this month. In light of the ongoing, shocking and dramatic suffering of children in many armed conflicts in this world, we are convinced that we – the international community and the Security Council specifically – have to do everything to increase our efforts to stop and prevent those heinous crimes that are committed against children.
We are therefore really satisfied and gratified by the huge support we received this morning in this debate and the widespread participation of member states. We take it as a sign of commitment of the international community to advance the protection agenda.
I cannot hide that safeguarding the integrity of the current mechanisms of the United Nations – the mandate of the SRSG and the working group of the Security Council as well as the reporting mechanism of the Secretary-General – to safeguard those mechanisms came with a price: we would certainly have preferred to achieve unanimity in the Council. But it was not meant to be. It was impossible to meet the demands made by some Council members without compromising the very substance of the protection mandate and mechanisms that are existing and have so far been widely accepted, engaging in a rollback of this mandate would have been irresponsible.
These mechanisms have proven successful in the past. I don't want to be complacent about this, but many members this morning enumerated that there are 20 action plans now, agreed with governments or rebell groups and the SRSG. We have ten of thousands child soldiers that werde released and I think that is also a result of the tireless efforts of members of the United Nations, of the SRSG and not least, the Security Council.
This is an encouraging progress, and yet we should not give up in our efforts. There are serious challenges that remain. New parties had to be listed in Secretary-General's report, for recruiting children, for killing and maiming, and most recently, for intentional attacks on schools and hospitals. You might remember that last year in July, when Germany held the Presidency of the Council, we managed to adopt a resolution that envisages attacks on schools and hospitals as an additional trigger for the naming and shaming mechanism.
There's still a lot to be done. As I said in the Council, we need to put a stronger focus on the alarming number of persistent perpetrators. We need to think about ways to increase meaningful pressure on those individuals, perhaps even considering targeted sanctions measures.
From our point of view it must be clear that those who flagrantly and persistently violate international law and Security Council resolutions must be held accountable. We owe this not only to the credibility of this Council. First and foremost we owe it to the children, the most vulnerable group in our societies.
With those words I hand over to the SRSG. I might add that, unanimously, the Council warmly welcomed the new SRSG and wished her success for her work. I for my country expressed full support by Germany for her efforts in her difficult yet so important assignment."

Bobby Model
Photograph by Michael McRae
Bobby Model goes to extremes. Camera in hand, he has documented mountain ascents, ancient desert ruins, war zones, and some of the world's most isolated cultures—braving remote locations and challenging conditions on five continents.
"I grew up in Wyoming, one of the most isolated areas of the United States," he explains. "So hanging on ropes and moving around mountains just came naturally. It's also why I've always found it easy to relate to ordinary people who work the land. I really respect and appreciate those individuals and their stories."
A climber since age 15, Model was first inspired by adventure photographers and their ability to bring a human element into a natural landscape. "As a climber you find yourself in so many beautiful locations, often early in the morning and late in the evening when the light is perfect. It's an ideal perspective," he says. But after finishing college with a degree in environmental economics, Model's view of what adventure photography could be changed during an internship with Rich Clarkson, a former director of photography at National Geographic magazine. "Clarkson exposed me to legendary photojournalists who cover conflict and culture—topics I'm now drawn to explore."
Although physically demanding, photographing mountaineering expeditions had always been well within Model's comfort zone. "I worked with very supportive teams, people I'd bonded with through long-standing friendships." The opposite was true as Model moved into photojournalism. "When you cover issues in faraway cultures, you arrive as a complete outsider. It's essential to find something in common with people, some way to connect. One minute I may be having tea with a village elder and need to prove my knowledge of his culture and history. The next moment, I could be standing in a field with a local farmer. Only by forming friendships and earning trust, am I allowed to document truly powerful experiences."
Drawn to show the human face of Sudan's civil war, Model covered refugee camps, conflict zones, and field hospitals. "I remember a man who had been shot and was about to be flown over the border to have his legs amputated. He and his wife were holding each other on the floor of a little dirt hospital, knowing he might not return to Sudan for years. Moments like this make me realize that wherever we are, people have certain universal emotions. We're really all the same. I hope my work in these places will have some sort of meaning, bring new awareness, and help change situations."
Model has also concentrated on Baltistan, one of the world's most extreme and isolated regions. Caught in a border dispute high in the heart of the Himalaya, this culture was virtually unknown to the larger world. Model's coverage there reflects another tenet of his work: Develop long-term relationships, not snapshots. "This area will always be changing politically and culturally," he notes. "So it's important that I continue returning over the next decades to follow the stories of the friends I've made there. I don't want to be seen as a person who is only 'taking,' so I always try to bring back prints of my photographs to these rural villages. Often, they become the only work of art in a person's hut, and help peel away another layer in my relationship with these remarkable people."
Does the exotic ever become commonplace? "Sometimes I have to kick myself when I take my life for granted," Model reflects. "I've been fortunate to go so many places and witness so many amazing human moments."
Editor's note: In June 2007, while on vacation in Cape Town, South Africa, Model suffered serious head trauma when he was struck by a chunk of concrete that smashed through the windshield of the pickup truck in which he was traveling. The region where the incident occurred is known for such stone-throwing attacks, and police there are investigating it as a crime. After emerging from a long, deep coma, Bobby worked at regaining his strength and ability to speak at Craig Hospital in Denver, a hospital specializing in brain and spinal cord injuries. After being released a year ago, Bobby returned home to Cody, Wyoming, where he was going through rehabilitation with his mother, Anne Young, his father, Robert Model, and his sister Faith living nearby.
Bobby Model, a 2006 National Geographic Emerging Explorer, photographer and grantee, died Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2009, in his hometown of Cody, Wyoming, at age 36.

State education officials said Thursday they will recommend a reduction in mandates required of local school districts.
"We have either struck down or rewritten a large number of regulations that try to make decisions about kids from Baton Rouge," state Superintendent of Education John White said, a reference to rules required by the state Department of Education.
The plan will be submitted to the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for final approval next week.
The rules are included in the Louisiana Handbook for School Administrators, which is known to insiders as Bulletin 741.
Under the changes, school districts would gain the authority to adopt their own school calender.
In addition, they could allow students to earn credits by showing proficiency on an exam or other work rather than requiring them to sit through a specified number of minutes of instruction.
The plan would allow dance team members and others involved in strenuous physical activities of at least 100 minutes per week to earn credit for physical education.
It would also end the requirement that districts order instructional materials six months before school begins.
BESE voted earlier this year to end the rule that districts can only order textbooks off lists approved by state officials.
White said current rules even extend to state oversight of district identification badges.
"There is no reason that Baton Rouge bureaucrats need to be policing whether employees have the right ID badges," he said.
Mike Faulk, president of the Louisiana Association of School Superintendents, said superintendents generally favor the changes, especially amid state- and federal-ordered public school changes.
"It gives us more flexibility," said Faulk, who is superintendent of the Central school system.
Patrice Pujol, superintendent of the Ascension Parish school system, said the list of state-mandated rules has caused concerns for years. "It doesn't make sense," Pujol said.
White said he also will ask BESE to approve plans to delay the purchase of some new textbooks for the 2013-14 school year.
The books are generally replaced every seven years.
New language arts books are due for public school students from kindergarten through fifth grade and math textbooks for students from kindergarten through second grade.
The superintendent said the delay stems from the fact that the state, like most others, will implement more rigorous classroom standards starting with the 2014-15 school year.
Any new textbooks bought now, he said, would soon be out of date.

Mark A'Bear, Education Manager at Adobe UK responds to the news that the Office of Fair Trading plans to investigate students' consumer rights and university competition.
"I welcome today's news that the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) plans to investigate the value for money that students are getting in light of the radical changes that are taking place within the Higher Education sector.
The hike in tuition fees was inevitably going to mean that the student experience would change. It has never been more important for graduates to have real world skills – real world skills that employers are increasingly expecting their new recruits to have. But students need the support of their Universities to provide access to the tools and facilities that will help them develop these skills in the first place.
Naturally, students are questioning the value for money they get from their University and feel entitled to a better quality degree for the extra money they are paying. Our own Digital Campus research earlier this year – which surveyed the 2012/13 intake of undergraduates, the first to pay the higher fees – revealed that universities still have a way to go in achieving this.
55% of the students we spoke to admit their university is not living up to their expectations, specifically pinpointing the lack of suitable facilities such as libraries, and technology provision as the main areas needing improvement. As many as half only have access to basic tools such as internet, email and basic programmes, falling short of the 82% who expect their university to go above and beyond a basic technology provision before they started their course.
University Vice Chancellors must step up to the challenge, and quickly, to meet the demands of the next generation of student. Needless to say, those able to adapt their strategies will be far more appealing to students looking for reassurances that they'll have more than just debt to show for their University careers."

Stroman pitches a gem, but Jays can't generate runs
Cabrera misplays double in 12th allowing A's to walk off
OAKLAND -- The Blue Jays' pitching staff has more than done its job over the past several weeks but the offense appears to have gone missing in action.
Toronto's lineup was one of the best in baseball through the first two months of the season but it has since started to dry up. The home runs haven't been as frequent and the club has struggled to find other ways to score.
The lack of timely hits was prevalent again Friday afternoon and the Blue Jays saw their scoreless inning streak extended to 19 as they were unable to generate any runs in a 1-0 loss vs the A's at O.co Coliseum.
"We just haven't been able to score any runs," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said after the 12-inning loss. "We got that one yesterday but it was a gifted run too. The pitching is definitely stepping up but we haven't been able to do anything offensively the last two games."
Toronto's struggles at the plate go back quite a bit further than just that. The Blue Jays began the season with the No. 6 ranked offense in April with 120 runs. That production climbed to the best in baseball with 165 runs in May. The problems have come in the past five weeks.
The Blue Jays dropped all the way to 17th in baseball with 105 runs in June. One of the biggest issues has been hitting with men in scoring position. Over its past 27 games, Toronto is batting .197 with runners in scoring position, which includes an 0-for-8 mark vs Oakland on Friday.
Toronto's offense has been even worse against left-handed pitching. The Blue Jays entered play on Friday with a league-worst .235 average vs lefties and a .135 average over their last 11 games. With infielder Brett Lawrie on the disabled list and the lack of an appropriate platoon partner for Adam Lind the bottom of the order has been devoid of any positive results against southpaws.
Outfielders Brad Glenn and Darin Mastroianni have combined to hit 3-for-28 since joining the Blue Jays. Infielders Munenori Kawasaki and Steve Tolleson are both hitting under .260 and the resulting stress on the heart of Toronto's batting order has become rather evident.
"No excuses," Gibbons said. "This is our team, you deal with it, you go out and compete every day and hope it turns around."
The lack of run support meant that promising right-hander Marcus Stroman was stuck with a no-decision despite a rather dominating performance on the mound. He tossed seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits and three walks. Stroman struck out seven and set a career high with 115 pitches.
Stroman has recorded a quality start in all but one of his seven career starts. He's been even better over his past three, with a total of three earned runs over the course of 21 2/3 innings, which includes 20 strikeouts and six walks. With the exception of possibly left-hander Mark Buehrle, no one's had a greater impact on the Blue Jays starting rotation over the past five weeks.
"I feel comfortable, I feel like I've gotten into a pretty good groove," Stroman said. "Just trying to help the team win each and every start up here."
Toronto's bullpen also did its part in relief of Stroman. Aaron Loup, Dustin McGowan, Brett Cecil and Chad Jenkins pitched four scoreless innings to get the game into the 12th but something had to give and eventually it did.
Jenkins began the 12th with a leadoff walk and two batters later Nick Punto hit a first-pitch fastball into the left field corner.
Melky Cabrera attempted to make a play in the corner but the ball got under his glove and rolled all the way to the wall. That allowed A's catcher Derek Norris to score from first base as the Blue Jays record in extra-innings games this season dropped to 1-3.
"With two offensive clubs, you don't expect a game like that, but once it gets to about the eighth or ninth inning, it's just a feeling like you're trying to do too much," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Somebody wants to be the guy. It just kind of becomes part of what the game's all about, everybody's got some anxiety about scoring a run, and we finally did."

TIVERTON and Honiton MP Neil Parish is leading calls for all meat and dairy products served in hospitals to meet animal welfare standards. He led a Westminster Hall debate on the issue as research published by the RSPCA found that seven out of ten eggs bought by English hospitals were laid|by caged hens, while around 80% of chicken and pork came from animals reared in poor conditions.
The survey, backed by the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, revealed that five out of ten eggs bought by hospitals in the South-West were from caged hens and that only 11% of chicken and 23% of pork met RSPCA welfare standards.
RSPCA Freedom Food certification ensures that animals are reared to a strict criteria of welfare standards that guarantees they are given a good quality of life.
Mr Parish, who is pressing for the Government to introduce mandatory minimum standards for hospital food, said: "Our hospitals, paid for by the taxpayer, should be leading the way in responsibly sourced food but instead they are lagging behind. "Hospitals buy a huge amount of food every year for patients and staff, and the fact that there are currently no minimum animal welfare standards in place is something that urgently needs to be addressed by the Govern-ment."
Alex Jackson, co-ordinator of the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, said: "We're delighted that Neil is leading calls for the introduction of animal welfare standards for hospital food. "It's disgraceful for the taxpayer to pay for hospital food which causes misery to animals."

The predictable perils of moving to the AL East and a sophomore slump highlight this week's edition.
Click here for the latest MLB Player News, and follow @glenncolton1 and @Rotoworld_BB on Twitter while you're at it.
Before I get started, just a quick note to remind you to tune in to hear Rick Wolf and me on Colton and the Wolfman on SiriusXM fantasy sports radio (Sirius 210 XM 87) Tuesday nights from 8pm-11pm ET – all the fantasy baseball news as it is happening and the strategy tidbits you cannot get anywhere else. [Program Note - there are rumors that the infamous Schultz may even make an in-studio appearance - an absolute do not miss event!]
Mark Buehrle: Mark Buehrle got hit hard in the Bronx Friday night, giving up 5 runs in 6 innings. Thus far this year, the lefty has posted a horrid 6.33 ERA. Those who drafted Buehrle counting on solid numbers should have known better. Last year in the much weaker NL East and while pitching in a pitcher's park, Buehrle surrendered 26 HR. How can you be surprised that he has already given up 11 bombs in a hitter's park and hitter's division this year? His home run rate is up 50%. Do the math and you will see what you should have seen -- the immediate future is just not bright. Those who drafted the lefty should also have known that going to a stronger division where he cannot take advantage of weak hitting pitchers would have resulted in a much lower K rate. While the HR rate is up 50%, the K rate is down 50%. Buehrle is a venerable veteran pitcher, but one from whom you want to get far away from in fantasy.
Yoenis Cespedes: Yoenis Cespedes stayed ice cold Friday, going 0-4 and dropping below the dreaded Mendoza Line. Is Yoenis still suffering from the illness of earlier this week? Maybe? Is he a .198 hitter? No. Should you have paid full value to get Yoenis at the beginning of the year? No. The Wolf/Colton Rules of Engagement for fantasy baseball say that one does not invest full price in a player with a one year track record. The sophomore slump is real and lives on in the body of Yoenis. He will be much better for the rest of the year and could be had in a buy low situation. However, it is almost impossible at this point for him to return the full value of the price folks had to pay to roster him in March. Lesson learned yet?
Adam LaRoche: Adam LaRoche went yard twice Friday. The window is now closing on the buy low opportunity. As of Friday, LaRoche had now blasted 4 dingers in his last 3 games – more than his first 36 games combined. Other than his magical season of 2012, LaRoche has been a slow starter. If the LaRoche owner in your league does not know that, you may be able to score yourself a bargain. Buy!
Josh Willingham: Josh Willingham took the collar Friday and joined Yoenis Cespedes under the Mendoza line. Is his sore wrist a factor? Likely. Can we expect Willingham to hit over .250 this year? No. Willingham has not hit .270 or better since way back in 2006 at the age of 27. It is just not reasonable to expect him to do so the rest of the way. Add in the fact that the Twins are not very good and you can see the future – Willingham is going to be a part time player the last two months of the year either in Minnesota as younger players play or as a platoon/pinch hitter type on a contender. Pass.
Ubaldo Jimenez: Ubaldo Jimenez looks like he is back from his long vacation from quality pitching. On Friday night Ubaldo went 5 strong, striking out 9. In his resurgent last 4 starts, Ubaldo has a 1.90 ERA and 29/8 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings. What to do now? Pick him up in AL-only or in mixed leagues where you can spot start him. I grabbed him in my home league – the "Mercer Street League" but do not have enough guts to start him against Miggy, Prince and the Tigers on Wednesday. I suggest you follow the same path. Remember, this is a guy who averaged 195 Ks from 2008-2010 so if he continues to show he is back, you could really have a low price bargain and maybe even a keeper.
Jason Hammel: Jason Hammel was bad again Friday. He was tattooed by the Rays for 7 runs and 10 hits in just 4 2/3 innings. There may be a hidden injury here because the wheels have just fallen off the bus. Hammel has given up 17 ER in his last 3 starts after giving up just 15 ER in his first 6 starts. No way can you risk starting him in the jet stream at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday.
Jarrod Dyson: Jarrod Dyson will be out 2-4 weeks after sustaining a high ankle sprain. Is it me or has the high ankle sprain become the new oblique – i.e., the new "we never used to hear about that but it seems to happen every day" injury? All kidding aside, this is a tough break for Dyson as he was off to a nice start hitting .268 and six stolen bases through his first 41 at-bats and was starting to steal more time from the cold Jeff Francoeur. David Lough was called up to take Dyson's spot and could take over the role of taking over for Frenchy. Lough raked this spring --.465 (20-for-43) – and was hitting .340 with 3 HR and 5SB at AAA. Speculate on Lough, hold Dyson, and sell Frenchy if anyone is willing to buy.
And last and but not least, this from the Baron of the Bottom of the Page -- Schultz says: "For all the time spent before any draft or auction ranking and tabulating all of the players you suspect might be helpful to your dreams of a roto-championship, it's often the players that sat far off the radar that make a significant difference. Everyone out there that had Josh Donaldson as top-tier roto-talent, raise your hand. Now, everyone but Mrs. Donaldson, put your hands down and stop lying to Schultz, it demeans us all. At the present, Donaldson sits with a .323, 6 HR, 26 RBI, 23 runs and 2 steals. To put that in perspective, through that same period of time, Evan Longoria has put up a .333 average with 9 HR, 27 RBI, 31 runs and no steals. Longo is better but he cost exponentially more.
As he had been slotted into the starting shortstop role in Milwaukee, speedy Juan Segura may not have been a complete non-entity before the season started. However, the words next Jose Reyes or Trout-like were never bandied about like they could be these days. Pairing a .351 average with 7 homers and 14 steals, Segura could be putting together a monster 2013 season of the type that wins people roto-titles. People have been waiting for Dee Gordon to put together a string of games like this since the turn of the decade (yes, only three years but Schultz has a flair for the dramatic pronouncement).
Math notwithstanding, roto-championships are won by acquiring Starling Marte and Lorenzo Cain (not to be confused with Lorenzo Music) for bargain basement prices, not by spending lavishly on Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. The leaps that are being made by Donaldson and Segura are more than one standard deviation from their norm and roto-players that like to crunch their stats will tell you that means a regression to the mean will be coming. However, in roto-terms, the heart and the mind work differently. If you own Donaldson and Segura, you are probably experiencing strange feelings of attachment that would make it extremely difficult to part with them. In auction leagues, they likely came to you very cheap. Don't waste your bargain thoughtlessly."
Response: Great stuff and some clever plays on words too. Schultz is right (no, not a typo). Sell high on Donaldson while you still can. His BABIP of .363 after posting a .279 in 2012 screams "correction coming". Sell high while you can.
