The Best Picture nominees have gotten a pop art facelift. Not that the nine Oscar contenders needed a facelift of any kind, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – along with Gallery1988 – still found a way to produce a fresh, eye-popping take on now-iconic images from these films.
The Academy recently released nine posters, one for each nominee, created by an international group of artists, many of whom have worked with Gallery1988 before.
Called "For Your Consideration," the project is the first collaborative exhibition for Gallery1988 and the Academy. The Los Angeles gallery's past entertainment-related poster collections include "Fringe Benefits," which featured art inspired by fan-favorite episodes of Fringe, and The LOST Underground Art Show.
"Working hand-in-hand with the Academy has been a dream come true for Gallery1988 and its artists," Gallery1988 co-owner Jensen Karp said in a statement. "So much inspiration has come from past Oscar telecasts as well as the amazing range of films that have been nominated this year. It was a perfect fit for our style of artwork and treatment, and we can't wait to show everyone the results of some of our most creative contemporary minds."
The collection will be on display in Gallery1988's Melrose Ave. location in Los Angeles Feb. 14-17. The posters are not be available for purchase, but the Academy announced that fans will have several opportunities to obtain their own screen prints of the limited edition posters. Giveaway opportunities will be announced on Gallery1988's and the Academy's Twitter and Facebook pages.

Peter Angelos Donates $1 Million to UB Law's Baltimore Scholars Program to Increase DiversityThe University of Baltimore School of Law is proud to announce a $1 million gift from Peter Angelos, LL.B. '61, to strengthen the school's Baltimore Scholars program, an intensive, one-on-one approach to enhancing diversity in legal education and in the wider legal community.
The five-year-old initiative will be renamed the Fannie Angelos Program for Academic Excellence. Both Peter and his sister, Fannie Angelos, LL.B. '51, are graduates of the University of Baltimore School of Law. The formal announcement was made during a brief ceremony on Monday, June 10 in the garden level of the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center, Mount Royal Avenue and Charles Street in Baltimore.
The Baltimore Scholars program, directed by Professors Michael Higginbotham and Michael Meyerson and administrator Lenora Giles, is a unique partnership with Maryland's four historically black colleges and universities, or HBCUs: Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Morgan State University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Said 2012 Scholar Keon Eubanks, who is a member of the University of Baltimore School of Law 2013 entering class: "My grandfather retired from UB's custodial staff. … It would mean the world to him for me to win a scholarship to the school he worked for but never attended."
Since 2008, the program has helped 30 HBCU students enter the University of Baltimore School of Law, Columbia Law School, University of Southern California Gould School of Law, University of Minnesota Law School, University of Maryland School of Law and North Carolina Central University School of Law.
The program has two parts:
Boot camp: Eight undergraduate HBCU juniors and seniors are selected as "Baltimore Scholars" to take part in a two-week "boot camp." The students, who stay in a downtown hotel, are immersed in a rigorous law school experience – attending classes, reading cases and writing assignments for review by full-time law school faculty members. The scholars also meet with law students, visit law firms and talk with lawyers and judges.
After boot camp, the scholars enroll in the semester-long Princeton Review LSAT preparation class, paid for by the University of Baltimore School of Law. Each scholar is assigned a law faculty adviser and a law student mentor who communicates with them throughout the LSAT preparation and law school admission process.
Baltimore Scholars are not required to attend UB Law, but those who complete the program successfully, maintain a cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 3.5 and score 152 or higher on the LSAT receive a full, three-year tuition scholarship to the University of Baltimore School of Law.
Law School Admission Test Preparation, or LSAT Prep: About 80 HBCU juniors, seniors or graduates and the selected Baltimore Scholars are admitted annually to this program, which provides comprehensive LSAT preparation facilitated by the Princeton Review. Classes meet twice a week during the spring semester on the HBCU campuses. Students then sit for the June LSAT.
For more information, contact Hope Keller, UB School of Law's director of communications, at 410.837.5648 or email@example.com.

Domino's Managers Strategically Torch Rival Papa John's
Let's just dig into the Florida news here and pull out a typical Florida news story, at random: Aha. Two young men in Lake City were thinking entrepreneurially last week:
Two managers of a Domino's Pizza restaurant in Lake City, in north-central Florida, have been charged with burning down a rival Papa John's location.
The motive? Police say one of the men admitted that he believed with his competitor out of the way, more pizza lovers would flock to his restaurant.
"His restaurant," in this case, refers to "the Domino's Pizza restaurant at which he is employed as a manager," so the direct financial benefit for which he risked his very freedom is unclear, at best. You're no Palatka, Lake City! Anyhow. Florida! The best that stupid Georgia could do today was to do a bunch of acid with its dog which then ran out and got hit by a car. Amateurs.
Floridians are too busy making news to worry about stupid football games.

Tessa Duncan (45), of Waveland, and Buddy Lee Conley (43), of Belleville were arrested on Aug. 29 after formal charges were filed by Prosecuting Attorney Tom Tatum.
Duncan was a former school employee whose duties gave her access to the school's checking accounts and a school credit card, according to Chief Deputy John Foster.
The investigation began when an area merchant alerted the school to someone attempting to cash a suspicious check on the school's account, and the school in turn contacted the Sheriff's Department and state auditors.
Investigators allege that Duncan wrote checks that were not authorized and then conspired with several other people to cash those checks, as well as utilizing the school credit card for unauthorized purchases.
Foster said the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are expected.
Both Duncan and Conley were charged with forgery in the second degree, fraudulent use of a credit card, and theft of property greater than $5,000 but less than $25,000. Conley faces an additional charge of being a habitual offender.
Duncan and Conley have posted $25,000 bonds and were released from the Yell Councty Jail. They are scheduled to appear Sept. 5 at Yell County Circuit Court in Danville before Judge Jerry Don Ramey.

Highly unlikely, but how wonderful would it be if we could deal him right now?
But for all the jabs Raptors fans throw at Marcus, he's done a commendably job backing up Jack and has been a professional the whole time he's been here by not complaining or anything all. I respect him for that.
Source - Click hereThere is no doubt that Marcus Banks, an admirable fill-in at point guard in the absence of Jose Calderon, has opened a few eyes of late.
And in the cold, cruel world of professional sports, he might be just playing well enough to be traded.
I know thats a bit harsh, all the guy has done is be professional and stay ready and give them what they need, but its the way the world works.
Now, there are 29 teams who have seen him play recently and seen him do a pretty good job. And if someone wants a backup point guard, hes got to be in the mix, at least whenever Jose gets back in action.
Im not suggesting theres a deal in the mix but I know there are people in the organization who are thinking what I am: That Banks has become a far more attractive asset in the last week than he was at the beginning of the season.
And its never a bad thing to have assets.

Having added a Rifle Sportbike fairing to my 1986 R80, I found it necessary to replace the OEM turnsignals and add a couple of Lockheed-Phillips LED flush-mounts to the Rifle.
With the reduced draw of the LED lights, the turn signal flashes quicker than before.
Is this anything I ought to be concerned about? My concern is that it might hurt the flasher, and possibly shorten the life of the standard turnsignal bulbs in the rear.
Conversly, I presumably could add resistors to the hot lines going to the LEDs and bring their draw to the same level as the OEM bulbs.
Any thoughts?

custody, back on the streets. Where is the safety of the public here?

Yesterday's Daily Post printed the salaries for Redwood City Police Officers--some of which are making almost $300,000 per year (with a 90% pension in the wings). This is what paying these outrageous salaries is buying the residents of Redwood City.
When this man kills again--and it is difficult to believe he won't--everyone associated with this case will have blood on their hands!
What a travesty! No wonder no one trusts government any more!!

This is an utter travesty that was avoidable. So did the stupid cops get into trouble for their screw up?

Miranda Rights are there for a reason. What a complete diservice to the public that the arresting officers neglected to advise him. Making 'good arrests' is what the public expects from them.

Like it or not, criminals are our first line of defense against governmental overreaching. It is tragic that the police violated this person's right not to be a witness against himself. The right itself arose in reaction to the Star Chamber made famous by the Tudors and Stuarts for nearly 200 years and a right guaranteed to us since the English Revolution of 1641. This same right that was asserted by those accused in Senator McCarthy's hearings in the early 1950s. It's the same right that our honored soldiers have fought and died for for centuries. Criminals also protect our right of privacy, our right not to have our cars and homes searched by governmental authority on any whim.
While it is reprehensible that this crime occurred, and it's possible that a guilty person may go free, it has always been one of the hallmarks of our freedom that we, as a society, would prefer to allow a guilty person to go free rather than wrongly convict an innocent person. Don't blame the judge who, I am quite certain, only with great reluctance threw out an illegal confession. Blame the police who, despite excellent training, violated their own, and our, procedures to ensure that a confession is legally obtained.

This is shocking. I am all for prisoner's rights, but what about the public's rights?
The question I would like to know is how often does this happen? How often do criminals get let off because of mistakes made by the arresting police?

@resident: try a search, perhaps arrest + miranda + free, or freed, or released, for answers to your questions. The google machine is quite fun. You should try it when you have a moment. In the meantime, you may want to search on 'Constitution' or 'civil liberties'.
Then we can REALLY have fun, with the whiners who want a less talented police force on the cheap, versus those who want our civil right protections and a high quality, fairly compensated public servant.
Elam got off because his civil rights were violated, as the LAW prescribes. An awful situation, but the correct one. If Mr Elam's sanity is still intact (see recent history, also available under the google machine) Mr Elam will move far away. My prediction is that he won't.

"And some wonder why homeowners feel safer with a Glock in their house ..."
I wonder as well, with all evidence pointing that the gun is far more likely to be used on someone in the home than outside the home.
That said, Mr Elam allegedly (and admitted to) murdered someone he knew for a very long time. He did not invade a home.

"...if he fails to appear ... or commits a new offense, the maximum four-year state prison sentence limit he could receive on the weapons charges would be removed."

To equate the failure to say the "magic words" of the Miranda warning (that no one pays any attention to), with the Star Chamber or other forms of torture, is ridiculous. The Supreme Court's Miranda decision was wrong, and was not and is not necessary to protect the Constitutional Rights of innocent people falsely accused of a crime. Those who treat Miranda with some sort of patriotic reverence are misguided and only serve the interests of hardened criminals.
a resident of Midtown
on Feb 6, 2013 at 2:32 pm
This is an extraordinary example of our system both failing [due to a processing error by the police] but working extremely well [where someone who's rights were not correctly upheld gets to go home].
Naturally it appears to be a travesty for a common sense view of justice and I can only hope that a case can be remade and successfully prosecuted to get this dangerous person off our streets.

"The Supreme Court's Miranda decision was wrong"
Don't think we'll agree on much of what you say after such a patently ridiculous statement. Haven't heard of many, if any, attempts to overturn so "wrong" (in your opinion.)

Was the confession the only evidence against Mr Elarms? Was there no witness, no weapon found? I am outraged that a confessed assassin was set free. David Lewis was a humanitarian that did much for the community. I am deeply saddened by his murder and now the injustice of allowing his murderer to go free. And I can't help thinking that if he were of a different ethnicity, a different community or in a different social status things would have turned out differently for Mr Elarms as they did for Hinkley, Booth, Oswald, James Earl Ray and other assassins.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

This is too nauseating for words. The victim can never rest in peace until justice is done. May Elarms be haunted all his remaining days!

on Feb 7, 2013 at 6:30 pm
Folks that hurt people NEED TO KEEP THEM IN PRISON, and they can sit around, but NO exercise machines etc., just use their body. Not machines building massive muscle (since they will hurt others).
Pitiful truly...
Have them make cards, and use paints, and no one will be hurt from that.
Maybe dance.

The Appeals Court WILL reinstate the confession. Write down the date. You heard it hear first. Don't assume you know all the facts because you read them on a website. I love how some of you call Elarms the "alleged" killer, but automatically assume the police are in the wrong....In a matter of months, you will all look ignorant and uninformed.

Those of us who do work on the patristic writers have the dubious privilege of easy access to the Ante-Nicene Fathers/Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers translations online from multiple sources. I decided to take advantage of this by creating my own online anthology for my "Classical Christian Thought" course, a task that proved to be much more labor-intensive than I thought but that I hope will have the benefits of providing students with full texts (rather than the incredibly small excerpts one usually finds) and with common page numbers to aid discussion. I also tinkered somewhat with the formatting and antiquated language, but didn't get as far with that as anticipated. In most cases, I included a link to my source for the text; sometimes I copied and pasted the footnotes, and sometimes I left the footnotes as hyperlinks that you can follow to the original website if desired.
In any case, in the interest of helping my colleagues in every possible way, I have posted the PDFs below. Of particular interest might be my selections from Against Heresies, which cuts the length to about a third and makes the text usable for class — and since I have somehow managed to read the text all the way through twice, compile detailed notes, and write a dissertation chapter on it, hopefully you will find me to be a trustworthy excerpter.

Think for a minute about books by North Carolina's best writers.
Then tell me the one word that goes with the following words in the three recent book titles: Train, Woods, and Film.
Okay, here are the answers: Clyde Edgerton's "Night Train," Charles Frazier's "Night Woods," and the just released "Night Film" by Marisha Pessl, who grew up in Asheville and gained national attention in 2006 with her debut novel "Special Topics in Calamity Physics."
As Edgerton and Fraser could have explained to Pessl, writing the second novel after a wildly successful debut is a formidable challenge.
But, like Edgerton and Fraser, Pessl has proved she has the commitment and talent to give us a lifetime of rich storytelling.
"Night Film" burst onto the literary scene last week with reviews, mostly favorable, in The New York Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today.
"I don't read the reviews," Pessl said when I told her that the Boston Globe's review raved about the unusual, innovating organization of "Night Film."
The Globe's reviewer opined that the book's first chapter "should go down in literary history as among the most notable formal innovations of this century. It consists of a series of Web pages…pertaining to the untimely death of a young woman, the strange career of her filmmaker father, and an ensuing journalistic investigation. …Remarkably, Pessl's inclusion of the Internet feels not at all gimmicky or forced….They deepen the mystery Pessl sets out in traditional text. The cumulative effect is entrancing and delightful, infusing the narrative…with urgency and spookiness. It feels, above all things, new."
Pessl was more interested in the reviewer's praise for the book's storytelling and rich writing.
So, what is the story of "Night Film"?
Ashley Cordova, daughter of Stanislas Cordova, the infamous, reclusive director of cult films, falls to her death in the elevator shaft of a deserted building in Manhattan's Chinatown.
Although the death is ruled a suicide, Scott McGrath, a down-and-out investigative journalist, suspects otherwise.
His investigation takes him and the book's readers to the mental hospital from which Ashley escaped shortly before her death.
McGrath and two interesting young assistants, whom he picks up along the way, visit the places in New York where Ashley spent her last 10 days: the Waldorf Astoria, a walk-up apartment where Ashley took residence, a tattoo parlor, the Cordova family mansion, an exclusive bondage club, and other places to try to find out how and why Ashley died and who might be responsible.
McGrath also contacts her father's actors, former spouses, staff members, and others who knew Stanislas Cordova. He visits the isolated estate where Stanislas made his films and Ashley grew up. He breaks into the secret webpage of a cult of Cordova movie fans. He does everything to find, as he suspects, some direct connection between the film director and his daughter's death.
Then, when black magic and pacts with the devil pop up as clues, McGrath has to explore the possible connections. He starts out as a skeptic, "In the forty-three years I've been alive, I've never seen a ghost. Never had a cold chill pass through me. Never seen a miracle. Every time my mind wanted to jump to some mystical conclusion, I've always found that inclination was simply born of fear and there was a rational explanation behind it."
His investigation forces him to reassess his views of the supernatural and much more, 600 pages worth.
"Night Film" is a long trip, but also a quick read, thanks to Pessl's fast-paced story telling gifts.
And when she is ready to take her readers on another similar trip, I will be waiting at the station, ready to go.

Cosmetic ear surgery is a procedure to move very large or prominent ears closer to the head.
Otoplasty; Ear surgery - cosmetic
Cosmetic ear surgery may be done in the surgeon's office, an outpatient clinic, or a hospital. It can be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area around the ears. Or, it can be done under general anesthesia, in which you are asleep and pain-free. The procedure usually lasts about 2 hours.
During the most common method of cosmetic ear surgery, a surgeon makes a cut in the back of the ear and removes the skin to see the ear cartilage. The cartilage is folded to reshape the ear, bringing it closer to the head. Sometimes the surgeon will cut the cartilage before folding it. Stitches are used to close the wound.
The procedure can be done after a child reaches age 5 or 6, when ear growth is almost finished. However, if the ears are very disfigured (lop ears), the child should have surgery early to avoid possible emotional stress at school.
Complications such as blood clots and infection are uncommon.
Other risks of the procedure include:
The ears are covered with a thick bandage after surgery. Any tenderness and discomfort can be controlled with medication. If the surgery is done in a hospital, the child should go home the same day or the next day.
The ear bandages are removed after 2 - 4 days. However, the child will need to wear a light head wrap for 2 - 3 weeks to help the area heal. The child can return to school and normal activities when the ears heal.
Scars are very light and are hidden in the creases behind the ears.
The child might need a second procedure if the ear sticks out again.

Date: November 13 2012
More than four years after walking out on Canterbury, Sonny Bill Williams refused to offer an apology to the club after being unveiled as a Sydney Roosters player on Tuesday.
The World Cup-winning All Black will turn out for the Roosters for the 2013 campaign having agreed a lucrative one-season contract with the NRL club.
Williams admitted he only agreed to come back to the game he controversially quit midway through the 2008 season because he was honouring an agreement made with Roosters chairman Nick Politis three years ago.
However, he was less forthcoming when asked whether he should say sorry to the Bulldogs and their supporters for his actions, which stunned the game when he boarded a flight to London to sign for French club Toulon - 48 hours before his side was due to face St George Illawarra.
"Today is about me signing with the Roosters and that's what I'm going to stick to," Williams told a packed media conference on Tuesday.
"There will probably be a time and place and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
Williams, whose right shoulder was in a sling following surgery for an injury sustained during his $1 million stint with Japanese rugby outfit Panasonic last month, said he was unconcerned about any possible backlash from rival supporters next year.
"I can't dwell on negatives. I have a one-year deal with the Roosters and there is big pressure," he said.
"I have to get my shoulder right, and if I dwell on all the negatives then I won't be able to sleep at night."
Asked to respond to claims from former Bulldogs teammate Hazem El Masri that he should not be allowed to return to the NRL, Williams said:
"Haz is entitled to his opinion and that's all I have to say."
Williams has enjoyed great success in rugby over the last two years, helping the All Blacks win the 2011 Rugby World Cup, then the Chiefs to a first Super Rugby crown this year.
He also embarked on a boxing career, which he will put on hold during the NRL season, but hopes to get back in the ring before joining up with his new teammates in February - less than a month before the season kicks off.
However, the 27-year-old said he would have to prove himself worthy of a place in the Roosters back-row and admitted it would be a big challenge for him to continue where he left off when he last played league, having been an outside back in rugby.
"I'd love to say I'll slide straight in and pick it up straight away but it's going to a tough challenge," he said.
"The biggest challenge will be the contact area. I was out wide kicking stones sometimes with the pretty boys in the backs.
"It'll be tough if I move back into the forwards. There's going to be some big boys running my way."
"A lot of people will be writing me off. Every time I step on that field there will probably be a target on me. I'll have to use my twinkle toes a bit."
One obstacle that could hinder Williams' progress is the NRL's plans to outlaw the shoulder charge.
Williams was the best exponent of the art during his time with the Bulldogs, and in the most delicious of ironies, the man chairing the shoulder charge review committee is new Roosters CEO Brian Canavan.
"I've talked to him about that and told him to go easy," Williams quipped.

Neon Trees and newcomers JJAMZ had a lot to celebrate last night at New York's Webster Hall.
It was record release day for JJAMZ, the side project of Maroon 5's James Valentine, as well as their first time playing in New York. Meanwhile, Neon Trees just learned that their current single "Everybody Talks" reached one million downloads. Frontman Tyler Glenn expressed his excitement to the sold-out crowd.
"The next song we're going to play has now sold one million copies. That means about six million people stole it," he joked. "When a song gets into the crevices of your mind that's when I found out that everybody talks."
It was easy to see just why the band has reached such a milestone as their live show never faltered. Whether it was Glenn's witty onstage banter or crazy antics like whipping his mic wire in the air only to have it wind up around his neck or crowd surfing into the audience, Neon Trees' energetic performance impressed.
Well on their way to becoming an arena friendly act, the band's memorable songs had the crowd jumping and singing along for the entirety of their performance. While popular singles "Animal," "1983" and "Everybody Talks" got the most screams, "Mad Love" switched things up.
"Elaine our drummer is about eight months pregnant with a beautiful baby," Glenn told the crowd of their drummer's absence. "We need a girl to sing along with us," he said before bringing up a female fan who has been to 60 of their shows to sing Elaine's part.
The remainder of their set included past singles "Your Surrender" and "Sins of My Youth" with a killer encore performance of "I Am the D.J." and mega hit "Everybody Talks."
Show opener and super group JJAMZ also held their own. Combined of members from Maroon 5, Phantom Planet, the Like, and Rilo Kiley the indie rock outfit provided a strong 30-minute set.
Frontwoman Z Berg proved to be a captivating lead as her sultry vocals and engaging stage presence had many in the crowd dancing along. While she impressed on songs like first single "Heartbeat" and "Never Enough," it was when the band's male members joined her on vocals that JJAMZ struck the biggest chord.
On "LAX" Alex Greenwald provided striking harmonies alongside Z with impressive guitar accompaniment while Michael Runion shared his own flavor on the jazzier "Cleverly Disguised."
Their set included many of the tracks off their debut record Suicide Pact now available on iTunes.

Yankees will be cautious in Jeter's recovery
By Adam Rosenbloom, Steven Miller and Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Jeter underwent surgery on Saturday to repair the fracture. The procedure was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot and ankle specialist in Charlotte, N.C., who estimated Jeter will be fully recovered in four to five months.
If the estimate holds true, Jeter will be at full health in time for most of Spring Training next March. Should he fully recover in four months -- Feb. 20 marks exactly four months from the date of surgery -- he will be available for the team's entire Grapefruit League exhibition schedule.
Jeter led the AL with 216 hits this season, silencing any doubts that his age has affected his production. General manager Brian Cashman said following Jeter's surgery that the Yankees fully expect the 38-year-old to enter next season as their starting shortstop, sentiments which manager Joe Girardi spoke about on Wednesday in a news conference at Yankee Stadium.
"I think there's always a concern, but really in our hearts we believe he's going to be ready for us," Girardi said. "We might have to hold him back a little bit; he may want to do too much because he always tells me that he feels great, so that's something that I'm going to have to evaluate."
Girardi said that the team will be cautious with Jeter's recovery, as any attempt to expedite the process could potentially lead to setbacks. He was fitted for a splint and crutches following the procedure.
"I think whenever a guy goes through something, there are some concerns," Girardi said. "Sometimes a player can rush it and tweak something else, because he's rushing it and he's anxious to get out there and he's tired of being on crutches, or however Derek's going to be for a while."
Cashman said Saturday that the Yankees have no plans to find a potential replacement for Jeter this offseason, and they will turn to backups should his recovery linger through the start of the regular season. New York turned to Jayson Nix in Game 2 of the ALCS and Eduardo Nunez started Games 3 and 4.
"I haven't looked at that at this stage," Cashman said on Saturday. "We do have Eduardo Nunez, we have Jayson Nix [as backups]. So it's not something we've focused on, and I wouldn't think that that's something I would gravitate to."
The Yankees have expressed confidence in Nunez's abilities as a shortstop -- should Jeter's tenure come to a close in the near future, Nunez would be a leading candidate to replace him if the Yankees re-sign Nunez long term.
Nunez finished 3-for-11 in the 2012 postseason -- including a ninth-inning home run off Justin Verlander in Game 3 -- but his glove continues to be a liability. But with time to improve, Girardi said Wednesday that Nunez holds a lot of potential.
"It's really hard to predict exactly what a guy's role is going be right now, because we don't know who's going to be on the team, but I think [Nunez] has something to offer us and I think we saw that during the Detroit series," Girardi said. "There is talent there, there is speed, there is excitement, there's a guy who has the ability I believe to be a good shortstop. He has a lot to offer."
Sabathia to make precautionary visit to orthopedist
NEW YORK -- CC Sabathia has yet to see Dr. James Andrews, a renowned orthopedist who specializes in arm injuries, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi does not expect the evaluation to uncover any elbow issues that will cause Sabathia to miss Spring Training or next season.
The visit is more precautionary, according to Girardi, who pointed to the left-hander's success at the end of the season as a reason to believe there are no major problems stemming from elbow inflammation that landed Sabathia on the disabled list in August. An MRI taken after New York's American League Championship Series loss to the Tigers reportedly showed a bone spur in Sabathia's left elbow, but the club believes he pitched through it since 2008.
"You're always concerned that maybe it's more than you think it is," Girardi said. "I think that's always your biggest concern. But you think about both the games he pitched against Baltimore were pretty good. The start before that was pretty good. September was pretty good. That makes me feel like it's something that we're going to get through and we're going to have him in Spring Training."
The Tigers knocked Sabathia around for six runs -- five earned -- over 3 2/3 innings in Game 4 of the ALCS, but he was strong before that, pitching at least eight innings in his five prior starts, including two AL Division Series wins against the Orioles.
Sabathia also spent time on the disabled list with a groin strain, contributing to his lowest innings total since 2006, when he was with the Indians.
Visits to Dr. Andrews often spell bad news -- he counts Joba Chamberlain among his clients for Tommy John surgery -- but Girardi is confident that Sabathia's ability to pitch successfully after his DL stint means there is little cause for concern.
"[Sabathia] pitched very well for us down the stretch, which made me feel pretty good about what's going on," Girardi said, "but you know at times, people have to be evaluated to be sure everything's OK."
Girardi expects Mo to return; Pettitte may be back too
NEW YORK -- Mariano Rivera reserved a spot on the dugout bench for all of the Yankees' postseason home games, playing the role of a uniformed cheerleader -- one who just happens to be the game's all-time saves leader.
"Part of the team, supporting the guys. That's all I can do," Rivera said during the playoffs.
The Yankees expect he'll be far more active around this time next year. Rivera vowed to return to the mound after having his season cut short by a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and manager Joe Girardi sees no reason not to expect the closer to report to Spring Training.
"From watching how he rehabbed and everything that he was going through -- [Rivera] picked up a baseball sooner than he was supposed to and got his hand smacked a little bit -- that would tell me that Mo probably wants to play," Girardi said.
Girardi said that he has not spoken to Rivera since the season ended, but he is well aware of how Rivera aggressively handled his rehab after crumpling on the warning track at Kauffman Stadium on May 3 in pursuit of a batting practice fly ball.
"It's a decision that I think he'll sit down with his family, evaluate where he is maybe a little bit later in this process and how he feels," Girardi said. "But I don't think that you push a rehab like he pushed it unless you think that you possibly have some interest in coming back."
The Yankees may have reason to nudge Rivera for a decision in the near future. Rafael Soriano excelled in Rivera's absence, logging 42 saves in 46 chances, and may trigger an opt-out clause to forfeit the $14 million he is due in 2013 in hopes of landing a new multiyear deal. Rivera is also set to become a free agent.
Girardi also said that he expects left-hander Andy Pettitte to strongly consider returning to the Yankees in 2013 after a fractured left leg limited the veteran to just 12 regular season starts, plus two more in the postseason.
Pettitte said after the Yankees' elimination in the American League Championship Series that he wanted to take about a month to think about his situation, but that his limited workload had not fully exhausted his competitive desires.
"There's a lot of hunger and fire in him, I know that," Girardi said. "We saw how he pushed himself to get back and to be a postseason and down-the-stretch pitcher for us, going out there where he had 65 pitches, which is not normally something you do at this time of the year.
"I still think the fire is there, but every year as you get a year older, you have to ask yourself and your family: 'Am I ready to give up eight months of my life?' That's something that he's going to have to ask himself."

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
Thad Matta and his 11th-ranked Buckeyes face
another tough Big Ten Conference test as Ohio State hosts the Wisconsin
Badgers at Value City Arena.
OSU has won three of the last five meetings with the Badgers, including two
of the last three played in Columbus. The recent success has helped the
Buckeyes increase their all-time series lead to 83-66. These two will square
off again on Feb. 17 in Madison.
Bo Ryan's Badgers are once again one of the best defensive squads in the
nation. After holding the opposition to an NCAA Division I low of 53.2 ppg in
2011-12, Wisconsin is sixth in the rankings with only 54.9 points allowed per
tilt this season. The ability to frustrate and stifle an opponent was on
display in its last appearance, as it clipped Minnesota, 45-44, to improve to
14-6 overall and 5-2 in the conference standings. The victory ended a brief
two-game slide that followed a 64-59 victory over Indiana in Bloomington. The
wins over the Golden Gophers and Hoosiers give Ryan's team a 3-3 record versus
ranked foes on the year.
Wisconsin has a very balanced offensive attack that features a handful of
players capable of netting 10 points or more on any given night. Jared
Berggren (12.0 ppg.), Ryan Evans (10.9 ppg.) and Ben Brust (10.4 ppg.) all
contribute double figures offensively. Evans leads the team with 7.8 rebounds
a game. Sam Dekker produced 10 points and six rebounds off the bench to propel
the Badgers past Minnesota in his most recent appearance. Senior forward Mike
Bruesewitz was held scoreless versus the Gophers, but the big man with
excellent 3-point touch is unlikely to be held in check in back-to-back games.
The Buckeyes notched their fourth victory in five outings on Saturday as they
coasted to a 65-51 decision over Penn State on the road. Ohio State is not
only just behind the visitors in the scoring defense column (57.8 ppg), but it
is also fourth in the Big Ten on the offensive end with 73.0 ppg. Matta's
squad has not been defeated by an unranked foe all season and has experienced
just one setback on its own floor (Kansas, 74-66).
Unlike Wisconsin, Ohio State has a superb go-to-guy on the offensive end.
DeShaun Thomas scored 20 points or more in five consecutive games to begin the
Big Ten season before letting his foot off of the pedal to tally 27 total
points over his last two. Thomas is pacing the Big Ten in scoring with 20.0
ppg and also ranks 11th in rebounding with 6.5 per tilt. Lenzelle Smith Jr.
chips in 10.2 ppg, while Aaron Craft continues to be considered one of the top
point guards in the country due to his passing (4.7 apg) and strong on-ball
defense (2.0 spg).

Soreness forces Morneau to DH for finale
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
CLEVELAND -- Justin Morneau was originally penciled in at first base against the Indians on Sunday, but asked Twins manager Ron Gardenhire if he could start at designated hitter instead.
Morneau, who is dealing with general soreness, according to Gardenhire, was granted his wish, as Chris Parmelee moved from right field to first base, and Oswaldo Arcia shifted from designated hitter to right field.
"He said he would rather DH today because he was feeling a little stiff," Gardenhire said. "But it was good because I would rather have Arcia out there playing [in the outfield] than at DH. And it moves Parmelee to first base. So it worked out."
It marked the first start of the year at designated hitter for Morneau, who started 25 of the club's first 26 games at first base, with his lone day off coming on April 27 against the Rangers. It's been a welcome change from last year, when Morneau was coming off several offseason surgeries and began the year as the designated hitter, starting a career-high 34 games there.
Morneau also joined an exclusive club Friday, when he recorded his 800th career RBI to join Harmon Killebrew, Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett and Tony Oliva as the only five players in Minnesota Twins history with at least 800 RBIs.
Middle infield rests in midst of tough stretch
CLEVELAND -- The Twins rested both of their starting middle infielders on Sunday, as second baseman Brian Dozier and shortstop Pedro Florimon were held out of the starting lineup.
Jamey Carroll got the start at second base and batted leadoff, while Eduardo Escobar started at shortstop and hit ninth in the series finale against Cleveland.
"We just mix it around a little bit and try different things," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We have Esco out there at shortstop. I have a lot of confidence in those guys. But I just wanna give everyone a chance to play. We have a few ballgames here in a way, so everyone needs to play. And Jamey has played well the last couple times out."
As Gardenhire pointed out, the Twins are in the midst of a 13-day stretch without an off-day, so he said he'll be mixing in his backups more often. The Twins are next off on May 16.
De Vries, Deduno make progress with rehabs
CLEVELAND -- Right-handers Cole De Vries and Samuel Deduno are getting closer to a return, as De Vries started his rehab assignment with Class A Advanced Fort Myers on Sunday, and Deduno was activated from the Minor League disabled list at Triple-A Rochester.
De Vries, on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm, began his rehab assignment, which can last as long as 30 days. But De Vries is expected to be healthy by then, as he was slated to start for Fort Myers in a late afternoon game and throw about 75 pitches, according to Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony.
Deduno isn't on the 40-man roster and was simply activated from the Minor League DL after pitching in extended spring training. He's been dealing with a groin strain that surfaced while pitching in the final of the World Baseball Classic in March.
Deduno started for Triple-A Rochester in a Sunday afternoon game and gave up one unearned run over five innings. He walked four and struck out four, throwing 89 pitches.
To make room for Deduno on Rochester's roster, outfielder Brandon Boggs was released. Boggs, 30, hit just .184 with two homers in 21 games with the Red Wings.

Choo exits early with sore left ankle
Rangers don't think injury is serious, but not sure about Saturday
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
ANAHEIM -- Shin-Soo Choo played left field for the first time since spraining his left ankle on April 21 in Oakland. The night was not a complete success.
Choo, after going 3-for-4 with a home run, had to leave the game in the bottom of the seventh with more soreness in the ankle. The Rangers don't think it is serious, but aren't sure if Choo will be able to play on Saturday.
"I can't say 100 percent, but I'm confident I will play," Choo said.
Choo felt the ankle running the bases after a seventh-inning RBI single in the top of the seventh. Daniel Robertson replaced him on defense in the bottom of the inning.
"I didn't feel comfortable," Choo said. "I didn't want to make it worse. It's not bad but I wasn't comfortable."
Choo missed six games after spraining the ankle in Oakland. He played on Tuesday and Wednesday but was used at designated hitter.
