Dillon Gee says he will be 100%
Dillon Gee recently told Fast Life Show that he will be 100 percent by Spring Training.
In regards to whether or not he's worried that Matt Harvey or another young pitcher could steal his spot in the rotation, Gee explained:
"Yes. Obviously, I think about it. I try not to worry about it because that's just baseball. I came up because of injuries. I do think about it a lot. But, at the same time, I have pitched pretty well in the big leagues and I think I'm going to be even better coming off the surgery. I will be 100 percent. I think I will improve. I want to be with the Mets, but if they feel like I should be somewhere else, hopefully I will be valuable somewhere else. All that I can do is pitch the best that I can and hope that I still have a spot on this team."
Gee was placed on the 15-day DL on July 10, 2012 after doctors found a blood clot in the artery in his right arm. The artery was dissolved with the use of a catheter. Gee will most likely not return during the 2012 season.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Well, it's pretty clear that Matt Harvey will be in next year's rotation. Obviously, so will RA Dickey. However, I'm not sure how the rest of the staff will shake out.
I don't expect Johan Santana to be traded, especially with $25 million coming to him next year, and especially with his season-ending back injury. But, he's still a slight question mark, either because the Mets would welcome shedding some of his salary or because he might not be healthy enough to start the year on time. Also, if the only way to acquire a legitimate, young bat (like a Justin Upton) is to trade a legitimate, young pitcher then Jon Niese will be on the trading block, meaning he's no guarantee to be back as well. Chris Young is Chris Young, which is a decent pitcher, but this team's fifth starter.
In other words, I think Gee is safe, either because Santana isn't ready, Niese is traded or Young is let go, but mostly because he went at least six innings and let up three runs or less in 70% of his starts this year. He's a good, mid- to -back-of-the-rotation guy, especially since he'll likely still earn less than $1 million next year.

Molson Coors' Community Cheer can help your community cheer!
Does your community rink need a new roof? The local baseball field new fencing? Want to start a program that gets people up and moving? Launching today, our new Molson Coors Community Cheer program just may be the answer. Together with the voting support of Canadians, the program will donate up to $1 million to support projects and initiatives across Canada that help promote a healthy, active lifestyle in local communities.
How it works:
Molson Coors Community Cheer was built on 225 years of community involvement in Canada dating back to our founder, John Molson. His belief that we are all members of a larger community with a role to play remains unchanged today and we hope to continue to do our part by supporting worthwhile initiatives through Community Cheer.
Canadians can apply for a Community Cheer donation at www.ourcommunitycheer.com. The application process runs until January 5, 2012, and is open to community focused initiatives that aim to bring people together to be physically active, such as the construction or improvement of sports and recreation facilities or a community program that motivates physical activity.
Applicants who meet all specified criteria will receive a project page, and that's when the cheering begins. From January 6, 2012 to February 1, 2012, Canadians will be able to "cheer," or vote online, for the project that they would like to see receive funding. The initiatives that receive 225 cheers, from supporters will be eligible for funding.
Successful recipients of funding will be announced on March 1, 2012, and a minimum of 20 projects will receive funding in 2012. Additionally, we'll be hosting local celebration parties for all recipients to thank supporters and give cheers to healthy, active communities.
We hope you'll cheer along with us! Cheer on Facebook

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Like a bull with an attitude and an appetite, the machine roars and butts into an eight-foot tall juniper. It's no contest. The tree topples, and chips fly as heavy steel teeth on a rotating drum on the front of the machine rip through the bark and wood.
In about a half-minute, it's over. Another juniper has been reduced to mulch. The machine backs off and zeroes in on a nearby pinyon pine. For acres around, the ground is marked with a patchwork of shredded wood and bare earth. The fragrance is wonderful.
This is what it is like at the Hiawatha-Miller Creek Bullhog Project. Planned and managed by the Division of Wildlife Resources, it is intended to restore some 290 acres of land west of Highway 10 near the Hiawatha-Wattis Road for deer and elk winter range.
The trouble with juniper and pinyon pine is that the trees dominate the areas they invade, robbing the sage, grass and flowering plants of sunlight. "...And water, and nutrients from the soil," adds Nicole Nielson, the DWR habitat biologist who designed this project and a similar one near the Dugout Mine further east.
According to Nielson, removing the trees will open the areas so the smaller plants - the ones that deer like to eat - can recover. "Winter range is the limiting factor for deer and elk populations on the Manti," she explains.
The area has already been seeded with native plants by using a small airplane, she notes. The advantage of the bullhogs - those track-mounted vehicles that look a bit like Sno-Cats except for rotating teeth on the business end - is that they'll stir up the soil as they move so the seeds will get a light cover of dirt before winter sets in. The pinyon-juniper mulch left behind will trap soil moisture, which should also help.
Come spring, there should be seedlings, which will later provide a much-needed buffet for browsers.
So who's paying for all this?
Nielson explains that it's a consortium that is funding the project. Looking at a nearby gas well-head steadily pumping away, she says that Conoco/Phillips is paying for more than half the project cost at Hiawatha-Miller Creek. Additional funding is coming from contributions by the Mule Deer Foundation, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife and the Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative. The rest of the balance is paid for by hunters through state tag and license fees.
At Dugout Canyon, Anadarko is providing full funding, Nielson says.
"It's impressive to see so many people coming together on this," she smiles. "The companies are saying they just want to do what's right for the land."
The land being restored at Hiawatha is owned by the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. The 200 acres at Dugout belong partly to SITLA and partly to the Bureau of Land Management. BLM will handle the restoration on its portion of the territory.

When Oklahoma's defense has played its best this season, it has forced turnovers by opponents.
When Oklahoma's defense has played its best this season, it has forced turnovers by opponents.
That's an area where the Sooners have struggled over their past three games, beginning with an Oct. 27 home loss to Notre Dame.
Over this stretch, the Sooners only have one takeaway — a fourth-quarter interception by junior safety Tony Jefferson.
Last week, Oklahoma defensive backs had their hands on a few Baylor passes but failed to intercept one.
"For us, it's about getting turnovers ... in the past three weeks, we haven't really gotten any," said senior safety Javon Harris. "We're gonna focus on really executing our game plan, and hopefully the ball will come to us."
The current stretch is reminiscent of the season's first three games, during which a Harris interception against Florida A&M was the Sooners' only takeaway. Like this recent three-game stretch, OU went 2-1, losing 24-19 at home to Kansas State on Sept. 22.
Those OU turnover struggles ended in the Sooners' fourth game, when the defense intercepted three passes at Texas Tech.
Saturday, the Sooners play at West Virginia, which, despite its four-game losing streak, has an offense built around a prolific passing attack like Texas Tech's.
"It's just about making plays," Harris said. "A lot of balls are being thrown the past few weeks, really wide outside ... really going at the corners and trying to get deep balls ... really trying to stay away from the middle, from what I've noticed.
"They can't stay away from us too long, so hopefully we get some more chances to get turnovers."
Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell is pleased with how well the Sooners performed on their first two drives last weekend against Baylor, and said a similar quick start will be important Saturday against West Virginia.
"It's important, especially on the road, to start well," Norvell said. "You've got a hostile crowd; it's a night game and they've been looking forward to this game.
"When we can run the ball and have good mix on our first drive, and go down and score a touchdown in the red zone, that really sets our team off with a lot of confidence. Especially knowing you've got an explosive team you're playing against that you're gonna have your hands full with all day."

Making a difference in someone's life can be as easy as picking up the phone and calling to say hello. I am Patsy Hough, Program Manager for CARE-A-VAN. I speak to individuals everyday in helping them secure transportation to medical appointments.
Making a difference is not one sided. By helping individuals get to their medical appointments, they are able to maintain a quality of life, and knowing that I am able to help, truly makes a difference in my life.
For the past 14 years, CARE-A-VAN has been providing services for non-emergency transportation. Volunteers have played a vital role in insuring individuals have a way to specialized medical appointments outside of the local area.
How many of us take our transportation for granted? Sometimes it isn't until one is without a ride that they realize how important transportation can be.
CARE-A-VAN makes a difference for the whole community. Doctors and facilities are able to give the proper care to their patients, individuals obtain the care they need to live independently avoiding early institutionalization, and communities remain healthier avoiding pandemic outbreaks.
The same can be said about one's health. Do you take your health for granted? As the program manager, I can tell you first hand that I have seen a lot of different health conditions. I am glad that we have a program that allows individuals the opportunity to meet their healthcare needs in giving them some quality of life.
We never know when an accident or health condition may change our life forever. Young or old - healthcare is vital! Without transportation, healthcare becomes inconsistent which creates other health problems.
United Way has been a valuable partner in making a difference with individuals needing specialized care outside of the local area. Organizations working together for the common good of the people truly make a difference in the lives of others, and those individuals in turn make a difference in our lives as well.
Reach out and make a difference by becoming a CARE-A-VAN volunteer!

MASSENA - Remediation crews will dredge approximately 109,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from Grasse River in the coming years; however, that sediment may not be going far.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys plan to remediate the Grasse River calls for the dredging of shore-line sediment that exceeds PCB levels of one part per million in the top six inches of sediment, according to Walter Mugdan, director of the EPAs Emergency and Remedial Response Division.
Mr. Mugdan said that PCB-contaminated sediment will be drained of water, the water will be treated and returned to the water supply, and the soil will be kept at a landfill on the Alcoa West Plant site. This landfill is designed for the permanent disposal of PCB-contaminated sediment, and it currently contains sediment dredged during the engineering phase of the remediation plan, according to Mr. Mugdan.
Some Akwesasne residents who attended a meeting with EPA and St. Regis Mohawk Tribal officials raised concern about the sediment being kept in the area, pointing to the landfill at the former General Motors site as example of what they described as hazardous waste being left carelessly in an area that has already suffered from PCB exposure.
However, Ken Jock, director of the tribes Environment Division, said that unlike the GM site landfill the Alcoa West facility is specifically designed for the safe and long-term disposal of contaminated sediment. According to Mr. Jock and Mr. Mugdan, the Alcoa West landfill is equipped with a number of safety features to monitor and prevent PCBs from contaminating the local environment, such as wells to monitor for PCBs, two liners to prevent PCBs from leaking into the ground soil and a layer of clay, soil and vegetation atop the contaminated sediment.
Its basically the state of the art, best way of dealing with PCBs at the moment, Mr. Jock said. Theres quite a difference between the (GM and Alcoa West landfill) sites.
Mr. Jock described the GM landfill as an oily, PCB-contaminated sludge that has few safety features and was never approved by the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation. The GM site in an illegal dump. It was never approved by the DEC, Mr. Jock said.
According to Mr. Jock, the SRMT worked with then-Attorney General Eliot Spitzer to sue GM to force the company to provide a more adequate cleanup of those contaminated materials, but that lawsuit was ultimately dropped.
Theres no protection at the GM site. (But) its a much more secure, highly monitored situation at Alcoa West, Mr. Jock said.
Mr. Jock also pointed out that containment in a landfill is one of few ways of minimizing exposure to PCBs, which are believed to cause cancer and other defects in people exposed to them. He said the most harmful method of exposure is by eating fish contaminated with PCBs, and many say this and other methods of exposure have led to high rates of cancer and other diseases among Akwesasne residents.
Mr. Mugdan pointed out that PCBs were designed never to break down, which is why they were sought after for industrial manufacturing. PCBs were created because they dont break down. Thats why they were used at Alcoa, Mr. Mugdan said. Thats the key problem.

Ueli Steck, a Swiss climber and Suunto ambassador is arguably the best alpinist in the world. His most recent feat is a 28-hour round-trip solo of the South Face of Annapurna, an 8,091-meter peak in the Himalayas of north-central Nepal. It is widely known that this peak is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world to climb.
Considering that the last attempt of this extremely difficult route on Annapurna was in 1992 by Jean-Christophe Lafaille and Pierre Beghin, when Beghin was killed, Steck's recent 28-hour record is more than astonishing.
In a recent report written by Jon Griffith of Alpine Exposures, Griffith writes (in the article's opening paragraph):
"I just got off the phone with Ueli. In short he soloed the South Face of Annapurna in a 28 hours round trip. He completed the Lafaille line up through the headwall and on to the summit. It's an ascent that pretty much baffles the mind. But it's an ascent he puts down to being 'lucky', 'sometimes you've just got to get lucky in the mountains.'"
Among a long list of superhuman accomplishments, Steck has posted smoking times for round-trip solo feats in the Alps. One of the most well-known is the record that left him with the name "The Swiss Machine." For this, Steck soloed the Eiger North Face in 2 hours 47 minutes roud-trip.

Earlier this winter, we briefly touched on belted outerwear during Coat Week, but the trend has grown to include actual belts worn over jackets--not just the standard, matching tie belt--so we figured it was time to expand upon this topic. We're happy to report that both styles work because they give you the same end result: a figure-flattering shape that creates all the right curves. Whether your belted coat acts as the perfect layering piece (Diane Kruger and Rita Ora) or doubles as a dress (Burberry Prorsum and Camilla Belle), we can't think of a chicer way to stay warm this winter.
On the Runway
Belted outerwear is a dominant feature in every Burberry Prorsum show, and the S/S 13 collection was no different. Creative Director Christopher Bailey's current riff on the trench came in an exuberant color palette and a variety of rich textures, some with matching tie belts, others with contrasting leather versions. As part of the latter group, the addition of a brown belt (tied, not buckled) lent definition to the Clover Green Laser-Cut Metallic Leather Caban Coat ($8000), allowing the ladylike coat to double as a '40s-style dress.
On Celebs
WHO: Rita Ora
WHAT: Shopping in Paris two months ago.
WEAR: Zara Hand Made Coat ($160); Maison Martin Margiela for H&M jacket and dress.
WHY: A leather jacket styled nonchalantly over the shoulders gives the overall look an effortless, uptown-meets-downtown feel.
WHO: Melanie Laurent
WHAT: At the November photo call for Les Adoptes in Moscow.
WEAR: Burberry Prorsum Check Wool Cashmere Blanket Jacket ($3195) and Bridle Buckle Leather Belt ($325).
WHY: A thin leather belt stylishly nips in a voluminous silhouette, creating a desirable hourglass shape.
WHO: Diane Kruger
WHAT: Leaving a radio station in Paris back in October.
WEAR: Eugenia Kim hat; double-breasted coat; Chloe Leather Moccasin Loafers ($474).
WHY: Paired with a military-inspired cap and loafers, a belted, double-breasted coat exudes an of-the-moment menswear vibe.
WHO: Camilla Belle
WHAT: Arriving at the launch of the Salvatore Ferragamo London flagship store early last month.
WEAR: Salvatore Ferragamo Peach Cashmere Coat with Waist Tie ($2900, 866.337.7242)
WHY: Worn with a pair of pumps, a belted cashmere coat can substitute as an elegant evening dress.
WHO: Caroline Issa, Tank magazine's Executive Fashion Director
WHAT: Spotted between shows during New York Fashion Week.
WEAR: Uniqueness jacket; Equipment top; LK Bennett belt; Kenzo pants; Louis Vuitton heels.
WHY: When working with a mix of proportions, specifically a puffy jacket and slouchy trousers, a double-wrap belt helps create the perfect waist.
WHO: Erika Bearman, Oscar de la Renta's Senior Vice President of Global Communications
WHAT: Celebrating WSJ Magazine's new Editor-in-Chief, Kristina O'Neil, two months ago.
WEAR: Oscar de la Renta coat; Prada heels.
WHY: A furry collar adds textural intrigue, while giving the belted outerwear a luxurious after-hours feel.
Get The Look/Belted Coats
With no signs of winter letting up anytime soon, you still have plenty of time to invest in the perfect belted coat. If you prefer the simplicity of a matching tie belt version, we've got you covered with an assortment of options. You can go for a classic silhouette, like Calvin Klein's Double Breasted Trench Coat ($158), which will never go out of style, or take cues from Oscar de la Renta's Erika Bearman and try one with a furry collar--Rachel Zoe's Trish Faux Fur Coat ($536) and Banana Republic's Faux-Fur Trim Ombre Coat ($200) are both smart picks. We also recommend a wrap coat, as seen on Rita Ora and Camilla Belle, and think MICHAEL Michael Kors' Belted Wrap Coat ($158) and Emilio Pucci's Blush Belted Wool-Cashmere Coat ($2280) would look chic layered over a fancy frock. A belted cape coat, like Hilary Radley's Black Wool Blend Belted Cape Coat ($111) or Victoria Secret's Belted Cape Coat ($70), is also on our must-have list this season, so be sure to check out those two styles as well!
Get The Look/Belts and Coats
For those who want to experiment with a separate coat and belt combo, there are two important styling tips to keep in mind. First: the size of your belt should be proportionate to the size of your coat. If you're cinching a thick wool coat, like Zara's Cream Minimalist Coat ($100), your belt should be at least two-inches wide, like American Apparel's Basic Leather Belt ($15), to help create that flattering shape you want. Naturally, if the material you are working with is much lighter and the coat has a more figure-conscious fit, a slim belt, like Club Monaco's Laura Skinny Belt ($50), will do the trick. Second: choose a belt in a contrasting hue. Vivid colors, such as J.Crew's Patent Leather Square Buckle Belt ($15) in Bright Dahlia, or eye-catching prints, like Madewell's Brightsnake Skinny Belt ($40), will pop against a neutral backdrop. Grab any of the stylish options mentioned above, and you'll have this winter trend under your belt in no time at all.--Jessica Baker

text: This summer, we posed a simple yet serious question via our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+ accounts—If Stone could brew ANY style of beer, what would you, our fans, want? Instantaneously, the interwebs started to buzz with ideas ranging from the outlandish to the ridiculous, straightforward to outrageous, adjunct-laced to style-stickling, best-drunk-fresh to barrel-aged. On Twitter and Google+ we were able to track responses using the #dreambeer hash-tag, which went crazy for the first 24 hours. After collecting all of the ideas that came through, we took some time to catalog them and do a bit of analysis. We discovered some things we already knew, like most of our fans crave IPAs and generally hop-forward beers, but we were surprised to find an overwhelming amount of interest in Stone brewing a hefeweizen or witbier (Not one, but two fans actually requested we bring back Stone Heat-Seeking Wheat?!?!). Actually, one of the coolest things that came out of the Stone #dreambeer experiment was seeing so many of our fans use their opportunity to have us make anything their mind could fathom to bring back beers we've already produced. Well, we listened and are bringing back one of our greatest hits!

By Fareed Zakaria, CNN
Imagine a region of the world where stocks have had their best January in nearly 15 years; bank shares are up 20%; the rates at which governments borrow money has fallen sharply; investor sentiment is at its best in months.
You'd think I'm talking about Asia; maybe the BRIC nations. Nope.
The region is actually sclerotic, struggling Europe.
What in the world?
The story is actually quite simple - and was pointed out to me by Sebastian Mallaby of the Council on Foreign Relations. After months of endless hand-wringing, innumerable talks, and considerable pain, it seems the eurozone has actually been saved - quietly but effectively.
The savior is Mario Draghi, the new head of the European Central Bank (ECB), an institution that had been seen as powerless and obscure until now. For much of the last couple years, it had taken a backseat amid the crisis around it. Its original mandate was almost solely to keep inflation low and stable. But now, under Draghi, it has become Europe's deus ex machina.
Last December, the ECB did the equivalent of printing nearly 500 billion euros worth of cash. Essentially, the central bank lent money to more than 500 European banks at just 1% interest.
What was the effect?
Look at the chart below. It shows what we call "bond yields" - the rate of interest governments pay to raise money from bonds.
Both Italy and Spain's rates have fallen sharply in the last three months - so they pay less to borrow money. That means they can get their financial houses in order without as much pain.
At a more micro level, Barclays estimates that the cheap source of cash from the ECB will boost the earnings of eurozone banks by 4% this year. That's going to trickle into the rest of the economy, but most importantly it means that a run on Europe's banks - the great fear – is now highly unlikely.
Remember the moment in "It's a Wonderful Life" when everyone runs to the bank to get their money out and Bailey Savings and Loan just doesn't have enough cash during the Great Depression. Well, thanks to the ECB, banks will now have access to plenty of cash.
The ECB is now said to be preparing another auction worth a trillion dollars this month. You can expect that to further de-clog the financial systems.
To put this into perspective, over the last two years Europe's governments have painstakingly put together a "stability fund" to convince markets that they are serious. Well, the ECB just conjured up three times the money - almost out of thin air.
The magic of its work is in the perception of what it does. It doesn't want to directly bail out any one country - that sets a dangerous precedent. And yet by demonstrating its ability to inject liquidity into the system, it has convinced investors that it is the ultimate lender of last resort.
Now this does not fix Europe's longer term problems. Greece is likely to default. But there is unlikely to be a Lehman-like crisis.
It's also bought crucial time for Europe's leaders to make structural changes to their economies and move towards growth. (And, no, I don't think inflation is a likely consequence - with unemployment at record highs in Europe, how can wages go up in that circumstance?) The irony is that the ECB's activism is not a new theory of what a central bank can do.
Here in America, the Federal Reserve did exactly that four years ago. The story goes that at the height of the financial crisis in 2008, Congressman Barney Frank asked the Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke if he had $80 billion to help bail out AIG. Bernanke replied, "We have 800 billion."
For all the criticism heaped on our central bank here in America - by the Tea Party and others - its instructive to look back and see how the Fed's prompt and massive action prevented our crisis from turning into a Great Depression. And it's happening once again in Europe in an even trickier situation.
The moral of the story? Don't bet against a central bank.
For more of my thoughts throughout the week, I invite you to follow me on Facebook and Twitter and to visit the Global Public Square every day. Also, for more What in the World? pieces, click here.
This isn't a real save, just a temporary patch. Real, serious structural reforms must be made, the fertility rate must climb, productivity must rise, governments must become more efficient, and real GDP growth must occur and be sustained across the whole Eurozone for a long time before anyone can realistically speak of the Eurozone being "saved."

For months, the Department of Education (DOE) had been evaluating city schools' progress reports, noting those that were in danger of closing. The process is continuing, and now several Queens schools could possibly be phased out.
This process, which eliminates one grade at a time from the troubled schools, will be finalized after a vote this coming March. Public School 140 in Jamaica; Law, Government and Community Service High School in Jamaica; and the Business, Computer Applications & Entrepreneurship High School in St. Albans are all on the chopping block. P.S. 156 in Laurelton faces a possible truncation, which will eliminate its middle school.
"We expect success," said DOE Deputy Chancellor Marc Sternberg. "Ultimately, we know we can better serve our students and families with new options and a new start."
However, the community is not taking the news lying down.
"I will continue to press the administration to keep these schools open," said Councilmember Leroy Comrie. "Many people at these schools work extremely hard to give their students the best education possible, but the city makes their jobs much harder by not allocating the proper resources and ignoring community input."
Sternberg countered this claim, saying that the DOE has listened to the community and provided support services to the low-performing schools based on their needs, but it is time to take action.
However, Comrie said the city standards used to measure schools are "confusing, arbitrary, and hindering, rather than helping, to improve the education system."
The Law, Government and Community Service High School in particular was one school with a good reputation, and according to Comrie, was asked by the DOE to take in more students. However, while they took in the additional students, they were not given the extra resources needed to accommodate them.
Citywide, 22 schools are facing phase-outs, two are looking at possible closure, and two more could be truncated.
Previously, J.H.S. 008, I.S. 059 and Flushing High School faced closure, but have since passed the DOE standards and will remain open.
"We expect every school to deliver for our students, and are working hard to offer families more high performing choices," said Sternberg.
- Two Queens Catholic schools to merge next year
- Sunnyside will get new school to assist growing population
- Two Queens schools awarded Blue Ribbon

Creighton vs. Georgetown:
Villanova and Creighton will meet for the first time on Jan. 1, 2014. The Hoyas first trip to Omaha comes on Feb. 5, 2014.
About Georgetown
Located in Washington, D.C.
Founded in 1789, Georgetown is the only Bluejay opponent that was founded in the 1700s.
Georgetown has an enrollment of 15,318.
Known as the Hoyas.
Georgetown finished 2012-13 with an 15-16 record and an 5-11 mark in the BIG EAST.
Georgetown returns seven letterwinners from last season, including three starters (Powell and White).
The Hoyas were picked to finish fourth in BIG EAST preseason poll.
Georgetown Head Coach:
Jim Lewis (West Virginia, 1968)
Record of 263-301 in 21 seasons as a head coach. Lewis took over as the Hoyas interim head coach on October 24, 2013.
Lewis has led Georgetown to a 6-6 mark through 12 games.
A 44-year coaching veteran, Lewis has served as the head coach for the George Mason women's basketball team from 1984-97.
He was at the helm of the WNBA's Washington Mystics for one season in 1998 and was also the head coach for Fordham from 2001-06.
Scouting Georgetown (6-6, 0-0 BIG EAST)
One of the youngest teams in the BIG EAST, eight of the Hoyas 13 players are either a freshman or a sophomore. Despite its youthful core, Georgetown is not lacking in leadership as starters Andrea White and Samisha Powell anchor a five-woman senior group.
Entering the matchup with the Bluejays at 6-6, the Hoyas have played one of the toughest schedules of any BIG EAST team, facing five teams with an RPI ranking under 70 (South Dakota State, California, Princeton, Penn State & Michigan State). Georgetown is 1-4 in those contests, however.
Georgetown opened the season with five wins in their first seven games, but have dropped four of its last five. The Hoyas suffered three straight losses, but looked impressive in a 67-65 overtime loss at Florida.
The Hoyas strongest asset is their size as Georgetown has five players at 6'2'' or taller. Georgetown has dominated the boards, grabbing 571 rebounds to just 448 for its opponents, a rebounding margin of +10.3 per game.
Center Natalie Butler has been a force inside at 6'5'', averaging a double-double to lead the Hoyas (14.6 ppg & 12.8 rpg). Butler also has swatted down 21 shots, just under two blocked per contest.
Georgetown has been has been its own worst enemy, committing 256 turnovers (21.3 per game) and shooting jsut 66.2% from the free throw line.
Keys to the Game w/Georgetown:
Take advantage of turnovers: Georgetown averages 21.3 per game, the Bluejays must be able to convert those into 20+ points.
Crash the boards on the defensive end: The Hoyas have 59 offensive rebounds in their last three games. The Bluejays have to limit the Hoyas to one shot.
Battle through the trees: Creighton has faced a number of tall centers this season (Minnesota's Zahui B. - 6'5'', BYU's Hamson - 6'7''). Against Butler (6'5'') the Bluejays must continue to drive the lane and force her to defend.
Fujan Nabs Spot on BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll
Senior McKenzie Fujan earned Creighton's second selection to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Dec. 30. Fujan tied a season-high with 17 points, including a decisive three-pointer in the final minute to secure Creighton's 65-58 win over Villanova in the Bluejays first conference game as a member of the BIG EAST.
Bluejay BankShot Club, Membership Required
Three Bluejays have joined forces to begin the Bluejay BankShot Club. Founding members Jordan Garrison, Lauren Works have teamed with McKenzie Fujan to open the exclusive club. To become a member all a Bluejay player needs to do is bank in a three-point shot in the closing seconds of a shot clock. Fujan's effort came in the final minute to secure Creighton's 65-58 win over Villanova in the Bluejays first conference game as a member of the BIG EAST.
Home Winning Streak Against Conference Grows to 11
Creighton opened its tenure in the BIG EAST the way the Bluejays closed their time in the MVC, beating conference opposition at home. Creighton has won its last 11 games in D.J. Sokol Arena against conference opponents. The Bluejays last conference loss at home was on Feb 4, 2012 to Missouri State, 63-55.
Finding the 3rd Option is Key
Creighton is 5-0 this season when three players reach double-figures, including the Bluejays last two wins.
vs. South Dakota State, W, 68-63
Janning 20, Nelson 16, Akin-0tiko 13
vs. Minnesota, W, 63-52
Nelson 22, Akin-0tiko 10, Janning 10

Fujan 17, Nelson 15, Janning 11

Bluejay Opponents Range from
First to ... in Turnovers
Coming off a 65-58 win over the Villanova Wildcats (Dec. 28), who lead the NCAA with just 9.3 turnovers per game, Creighton will head to Georgetown to face a Hoyas team that averages 21.3 turnovers per contest, 330th of 343 in the nation.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
There will be building destruction and construction at USU Eastern's Price campus, but it's a question of when.
The college's proposed Central Instruction Building has made the Board of Regents' priority project list. The $20 million structure is fifth on the list, behind $186 million worth of higher-ranking projects at other colleges and universities.
However, the Regents' list is not cast in concrete, so to speak. The state building board, the governor and the legislature also have a say in the matter. The USU Eastern building could move up or down in priority in the process.
One ray of hope for quick approval is that the legislature appropriated $75,000 for a study and early architectural concepts in its last session.
There's no question in the minds of college officials that the campus is due for some new bricks and mortar. Vice Chancellor Brad King explained that the proposed building will enable the college to nudge the Music and Old Student Activity Center buildings out of existence. "Nudge" is the correct word. These buildings are unreinforced masonry construction and - like the old Durrant School Building - could be knocked over with a push of a backhoe bucket.
Geary Theater is also seismically dangerous, but King said there are new construction techniques that will allow the theater to remain standing as the new building is constructed to the west.
The decision to build to the west of Geary and refurbish rather than demolish it trimmed about $15 million off the estimated construction cost, King explained.
He added that the new building, designed by Eaton Architects, will dominate the corner of Third East and Fourth North.
King said that the building is going to house several different functions. In addition to the refurbished and reinforced Geary Theater, it will incorporate a full-fledged scene shop, costume shop and a "black box" theater where the audience surrounds the set.
Having a scene shop means the stage won't have to be tied up for weeks during set construction and takedown.
With more than 35,000 square feet on the first level and 18,000 on the second, there will be room for choir and instrumental rehearsal rooms, individual music practice rooms, a secure art gallery and facilities for Criminal Justice instruction.
The floor plan also includes a few generic classrooms.
One of the challenges once construction starts will be accommodating the needs of the music department. Once its building is demolished to make way for the new one, musicians and instructors will be looking for temporary fixes for a year.

As for the rest of the Regents' building wish list, here are the proposals and the rankings the board approved during its September meeting at Utah State University in Logan:
Weber State University's new Science Lab Building, with a requested $60.9 million in state funds, and Utah Valley University's Classroom Building, with a $53.2 million state request, share the top spot. Following in order of priority are: Snow College Science Building Reconstruction,$11.8 million; USU Biological Sciences Building, $60 million; USU-Eastern Central Instruction Building, $20 million; Salt Lake Community College CTE Classroom and Learning Service Building, $15 million; and Dixie State College East Elementary School purchase, $1.5 million.
Regents also approved the Utah System of Higher Education's 2013-2014 budget request of $49,396,000, which includes $16 million for Mission-Based Performance Funding and $20 million to move forward Utah's goal that 66% of adults hold a higher education credential by 2020. The budget also includes $10.4 million in operational expenditures in infrastructure and technology and $2.95 million for student access initiatives and collaborations. Another $14 million was approved for state initiatives that will increase class size at the University of Utah's School of Medicine and implement Dixie State's university status.
The budget request and building priorities will be submitted to Governor Herbert for his consideration as he makes his overall recommendation to the Utah State Legislature for the 2013 legislative session.
