Mets, Wright making slow progress on contract extension
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says the Mets are currently negotiating with David Wright on a contract extension.
However, while Heyman says the two sides have made progress on a new deal, negotiations have been "slow." Therefore, if a new agreement cannot be reached by tomorrow, the Mets will exercise Wright's option for 2013 first, and continue negotiating an extension.
Per the language in Wright's contract, the Mets have until tomorrow to exercise his option for 2013.
Wright just completed the final year Wright of a six-year, $55 million contract he signed during the 2006 season. He has a $16 million club option for 2013 with a $1 million buyout.
Earlier this month, Sandy Alderson told Mike Francesa on WFAN he intended to move quickly on a contract extension for Wright, and Mike Puma of the New York Post said it was possible the Mets could have new deals for both Dickey and Wright before the start of the World Series.
However, last Thursday, Andy Martino of the Daily News said the Mets were still in preliminary discussions with Wright on a new contract, although Sandy Alderson has already discussed the team's long-term plans with Wright.
Michael Baron, ContributorI'm still confident a deal will get done between both sides. I don't think the fact negotiations are going slow is an indication it won't get done. It's presumably a very large contract extension, and those deals tend to have more complicated factors which need to be defined by both sides. Taking that into account, it was probably premature to tell the New York Post a deal could be worked out before the World Series, or even by the end of October. But if it gets done sometime in November, or even before the Winter Meetings, that's fine too – it just needs to get done. The sooner this can be wrapped up, the better things will be for the team, for reasons ranging from the perception of the franchise to being able to project future payrolls and moving onto other immediate needs.

Prescription/Financial Resources
Millions of Americans with asthma and allergies have difficulty affording health care, including purchasing prescription medicines. Many lack health insurance and simply do not have the money to pay for the medicines and access to physicians they need. Patient assistance programs have helped many receive free or discounted medicines, but many more still need help.
To address this unmet need, multiple coalitions of pharmaceutical research companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations, and community groups have come together to form different prescription and financial resource groups to help patients who lack the coverage they need through the public or private program that they currently have.

Here at WWW, we love solving your confusing conundrums and pesky problems. Granted, we're not sure how much we can help you in the relationship or work departments, but the sartorial realm is certainly something we know a thing or two about. Wondering how to make basic office separates party-ready? Puzzled about how to wear leather in the summer? With a little help from today's seven tastemakers, our latest batch of Styling Tips is sure to help ease even your most frustrating fashion predicaments. Read on for all of our words of wisdom, and don't forget to let us know which ideas you'll be trying out!
Tip #1: Style your micro print with a graphic clutch or pop of color.
The only thing we adore more than a stylish outfit is a pair of them-hence our love for the well-dressed duo Harley Viera-Newton and Annabelle Dexter-Jones! The friends celebrated the launch of Fendi's Baguette book in New York earlier this month wearing a slew of pieces by the Italian fashion house. While both wore the same Fendi Printed Top ($1330, 212-759-4646), Viera-Newton opted for matching Printed Pants ($1145, 212-759-4646) and Dexter-Jones chose Yellow High Waisted Shorts ($890, 212-759-4646). The pair also differed in their accessory choice; the former added the Pequin Beaded Baguette ($2560, 212-759-4646) while the latter went for the Selleria Baguette ($1580, available in black). Viera-Newton's clutch works well because the clashing pattern added extra pizzazz to her micro-print ensemble, while Dexter-Jones' subtler choice was also wise because it kept the focus on her yellow shorts. If you'd like to make a statement with a printed clutch, simply buy Forever 21's Bead & Sequin Stripe Clutch ($23) or Rachel Roy's Small Striped Clutch ($59). If a pair of bright shorts a la Dexter-Jones is more your style, then we recommend Alice + Olivia's Cady Cuff Shorts ($165) or Kookai's Bright Shorts ($91) for a vibrant, on-point finish.
Tip #2: Summerize a leather skirt with a thin cotton button-up.
Though leather is not always ideal for the hottest summer days, there actually is a way to make the material suitable for warm weather. Take, for instance, the outfit model Arizona Muse wore to a dinner at the New Museum in New York last month. We love how she paired her slim leather pencil skirt with a breezy button-up (both by Burberry), resulting in a look that's cool and appropriate for summer. To mimic Muse's smart styling, we suggest teaming a crisp white blouse, like J. Crew's Boy Shirt ($70) in Classic White or Nation Ltd.'s Seaside Shirt ($151), with a black leather skirt, like Rebecca Taylor's Pleated Leather Mini Skirt ($495) or ASOS' Leather Look Pencil Skirt ($52), all of which are guaranteed to give you the same chic look.
Tip #3: Make the bare midriff trend event-friendly by adding a blouse knotted at the waist.
As tempting as some trends are, they're not always easily accessible for the everyday woman. Case in point: bare midriffs, which can be a bit risqué depending on the occasion. But fear not, dear readers, because there is a solution: simply add a knotted blouse, which only reveals a sliver of skin, a la Nylon's Editor-At-Large Dani Stahl. Spotted at an event for Karl Lagerfeld's t-shirt collaboration, Karl x I Love Dust, in New York last month, Stahl opted for Dolce & Gabbana's Printed Skirt ($585) and Cotton Printed Aubergine Top ($995, 877-703-4872), and added a crisp collared shirt by Benson. The strategic addition of a blouse offers a more conservative take on the trend, rendering it perfect for just about any summer soiree and offering an unintimidating way to test-drive the bare midriff look. To try your hand at this brilliant outfit idea, pick up Threadsence's Summertime Live Crop Top ($26) or Topshop's Petite Flower Lace Corset ($45), and pair it with either ASOS' Pencil Skirt in Mirror Floral Print ($70) or Barneys New York Co-Op's Floral Pencil Skirt ($245). Finally, snag a white blouse, such as Free People's Collar Button Down Top ($88) or Equipment's Diem Tie Front Blouse ($184) in Bright White, and knot it around the waist to achieve Stahl's smartly styled look.
Tip #4: Create a bold look by mixing primary hues.
Looking to up the ante at your next cocktail party? We suggest mixing hues on opposite sides of the color wheel a la Zoe Kazan, which will guarantee your outfit stands out from the crowd. Snapped at the Lincoln Center Institute's Junior Spring Benefit in New York last month, the actress wowed us with her high-impact mix of a canary yellow frock and cobalt shoes, both by Diane von Furstenberg, which she accessorized with the label's Tonda Small Clutch ($395) in Black. We're especially smitten with how the contrasting primary shades made an undeniably striking statement. If you adore Kazan's outfit as much as we do, we're positive you'll be delighted with our finds! First, snag a vivid yellow dress, like Torn by Ronny Kobo's Kaitlyn Pleated Dress ($256), Topshop's Neon Lace Flippy Dress ($92), or One by Ramy Brook's Marcie Side Drape Dress ($395). Then, simply add bright blue platforms, such as Aldo's Galler Suede Platform Heeled Shoes ($139) or Calvin Klein's Vivian Platform Logo Strap Sandals ($119), for a Kazan-inspired finish!
Tip #5: Add a splash of color to a neutral print dress with a bright sash.
We're always on the lookout for fresh ways to style our wardrobe staples, and luckily we have ladies like model Eniko Mihalik to provide us with endless inspiration! Attending the launch of Fendi's Baguette book in New York earlier this month, Mihalik donned Fendi's Butterfly Print Dress ($834), which she spiced up with a colorful Fendi Belt ($460, 212-759-4646) and metallic Baguette ($2610, 212-759-4646). We especially appreciate how the turquoise and cobalt sash livened up her neutral print frock and effectively elevated her whole look. Dying to take your own dress from ho-hum to show-stopping in no time? We think Ann Taylor's Silk Havana Winds Sash ($38), Ada's Two Tone Leather Obi Belt ($88), and American Apparel's The Sash ($8) would make the perfect colorful addition to any look.
Tip #6: Break up black and white separates with a metallic top.
If you've been searching for a way to rejuvenate your classic black and white separates, look no further than Bella Heathcote's outfit at a Cannes Film Festival party last month. As the actress' ensemble proves, a shimmering metallic top is the perfect punctuation to noir et blanc staples and makes the nine-to-five pieces thoroughly event-ready. A shimmering top is your ticket to easy party dressing, so be sure to get your hands on Topshop's Petite Metallic Piped Vest ($45), Theyskens' Theory's Metallic Tank ($195), or Worthington's Short Sleeve Metallic Scoop Neck Top ($18), all of which are glam options for a night out.--Erin Fitzpatrick

A guy from Finland grew up near hard—packed glaciers that were used up after just three turns, and he went on to become one of the strongest riders in the world. With a bag of tricks that delivers everything from park 1260s to backcountry double backflips, Eero Ettala needs warmth without bulk, and waterproofing that won't make him stew. His choice: the OakleyLAVA JACKET. Its low—bulk Thinsulate® keeps the tendrils of cold from clawing his body while a 15K/15K combo of breathable waterproofing offers supreme comfort. Magnets hold the open hood out of his way when he's rotating like a rotor blade, and we gave him adjustable cuffs, wrist gaiters, and a removable storm skirt to defy windchill and frosty crystals. With this much performance, Eero is no longer glacier bound. He's getting in enough vertical feet to make skydivers jealous. Also available in a printed version.

CANTON A Fort Covington man is dead after losing control of his motorcycle in the hamlet of Helena late Wednesday morning.
State police responded to a call of the one vehicle crash that left Ralph Deshane, 48, dead at approximately 11:45 a.m.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Police, who found no signs of skid marks, said it appeared that the Mr. Deshane drove off the road.
Helena Fire Department and Tri-Town Volunteer Rescue Squad responded to the scene, where Mr. Deshane was found in a ditch on Route 37C heading toward Massena just northwest of the highways intersection with Depot Street.
Police said Mr. Deshane was ejected from the bike after going through a slight curve in the road, but St. Lawrence County Coroner June H. Wood said speed didnt seem to be a factor.
He had just completed his road test for his motorcycle license and was heading home, Ms. Wood said. No alcohol or drugs are believed to be a factor.
An autopsy was to be conducted at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Ms. Wood said bystanders who witnessed the accident made attempts at CPR, but Mr. Deshane was unresponsive.

NASHVILLE 1, ISLANDERS 0Weight out with groin strain
Doug Weight misses second half of the game with a groin strain. Jeff Tambellini completes Bridgeport stint tonight with third goal in as many games. Blake Comeau plays okay. Howie and The Jaff reference Fiddler on the Roof mid-third.
After the game Scott Gordon says he's good with the effort of his broken-down lineup, which is fair. Among his other comments to C.J. Papa, the coach says, "We're thin right now," "We're not physically imposing," "We don't have a lot of speed" and "At this point right now, we don't have the personnel that are gonna bury their chances."
Those points are not inaccurate, but – as beat up as your team may be – a head coach making those points out loud is not recommended in a league where the fans pay to see the games and where you never want your players to give up.
Talk about it in Comments. Your chance to pick the '09-10 lineup continues in the next thread.

Read: Could/Would The Rangers Break Ranks To Strike A Deal
In the Daily News, Pat Leonard writes that with the Rangers in the middle of their window to win a Stanley Cup, they may want to think about using their power and clout within in the league to try and broker a deal between the two sides quickly.
Leonard writes "The Rangers command the respect of an Original Six franchise and have the ear of the league and fellow front offices. Though the franchise could weather a lockout financially, hopefully the Rangers would use their influence to pull other owners off Bettman's hard line in the event a cancelled season appeared likely."
Adam Rotter: The Rangers and the NHL have had their issues as the Rangers sued the league over marketing and use of their website in 2007, so there is a bit of a precedence for them breaking rank. James Dolan doens't appear to be that heavily involved in the NHL talks, he was on the NBA negotiating committee but was upset at how long it took a deal to be done, but did say last week that he just wants his team to play hockey.

It feature easy-to-access master volume and power buttons, in the same traditional locations as would be found on any contemporary Smartphone, with the vast majority of the phone's others functions carried out by the four inch touch screen. The screen features brand new Touchwiz 3.0 technology, which essentially allows the containment of a miniature computer in the palm of your hands. Users can drag and drop application and folders, with the new technology allowing the user to arrange numerous home screens at the same time, with up to seven available for one's completely personalized use. The phone does not come immediately cluttered with Apps and the phone's owner can customize each homepage with a wide variety of widgets and Apps at any time, with widgets built into the notification bar, something that would have originally required for users to download other software to do. Amongst the numerous widgets that have been included are a calendar clock, a yahoo financial clock, and many more, such as quick links to your FaceBook or MySpace account and just about any other social networking website that one may take part in.
Of the pre-installed Apps, the Samsung captivate unlocked Handset includes Allshare, several AT&T related applications, instant messaging services, and mobile banking services. As with most Smartphone's, the amount of apps pre-included may seem overwhelming to new users of the phone, but is fairly easy to get used to and leaves the user with 1.7 gigabytes of free space still left over on their phone. With all the applications and computer-like capabilities available in the phone, one must remember that it still is essentially a phone. The phone call quality is very clear, with only the slightest of variations based on location. For those subscribing to the AT&T network, the Samsung Captivate is sure to be an excellent buy, providing state-of-the-art quality in its every use.

Re: 1956 FLE
The FLE designation referred to the way the engine was set up. They are all 74 ci and used a low lift cam marked 61 and low compression pistons. Also a small venturi in the carb. It was called a traffic combination and worked very well at low to midrange speeds. Anyone could buy one! I have seen them hooked to sidecars and also for escort use. There was a funeral home in Houston that used to use them for funeral escort. They did not appear until the 61 ceased to be so '53 was the first year offered and '56 the last. By then the FLH was very popular and the cops and commercial customers were buying the regular FL.

The benefits of a college education for law enforcement and fire service professionals are numerous. Research indicates greater job mobility, promotional opportunity, personal satisfaction, and other intrinsic values. For the community, research indicates less use of force incidents and greater verbal reasoning and problem solving capacity. Those in need of emergency safety services will also benefit from advanced safety training and emergency medical training from our sworn public safety personnel.

BERLIN (AP) - The pope's brother, Georg Ratzinger, says the pontiff had been advised by his doctor not to take any more transatlantic trips and had been considering stepping down for months.
Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday that he would resign Feb. 28.
Talking from his home in Regensburg to the news agency DPA, Georg Ratzinger said his brother was having increasing difficulty walking and that his resignation was part of a "natural process."
"His age is weighing on him," the 89-year-old said of his 85-year-old brother. "At this age my brother wants more rest."
Georg Ratzinger did not answer his telephone for calls seeking further comment.

OLIVE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- People in an Olive Township neighborhood say they're caught in the crossfire.
WZZM 13 is learning more about the state game area on 112th Avenue, where a stray bullet went into a nearby house this week. Now, homeowners on Port Sheldon Street say it's an ongoing problem and the state has done little to help.
"It's a total war and everyone is up in arms," says Bern Luurtsema, whose home was shot by a bullet from the game area. The bullet went through Luurtsema's living room, just missing his wife on the couch. "28 inches, that's how much it missed her, that's too close for comfort," says Luurtsema.
At a home across the street, Luurtsema's daughter, Kathy Schut, says bullets go flying through her backyard. "When we hear shooting we say you can't go back there to the kids," says Schut.
In Tuesday night's incident, investigators found the man who was firing a high powered rifle for target practice. Investigators say the bullet flew 3/4 of a mile into the home, but down the road, residents say in other cases bullets have traveled a full mile. One barn on 120th Avenue also had bullet holes outside and there's a school at the same distance.
"Maybe there ought to be a sign that says no rifles," says Gary Teall, who uses the game area. "If it was just shotguns, pellets, BBs, there wouldn't be a problem"
WZZM 13 asked the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department if the state should shut down the land. "That's something the state will have to decide and ponder, we've addressed situations there in the past," says Lieutenant Mark Bennett with the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department.
Luurtsema is an avid hunter himself and only wants the firing range closed. "It should be open to hunting, they're misusing it."
"Does it take someone getting killed before the DNR will listen and do something?" asks Schut.
A DNR spokesman told WZZM 13 that the department is now re-evaluating the use of that land and that other game areas have been closed in the past for similar reasons.
The man who fired the rifle was not arrested, but investigators say the case is being reviewed.

Boulder City Council members Macon Cowles and Lisa Morzel deserve praise for speaking out against the provision in a proposed public nudity ordinance that would have criminalized toplessness for women but not for men.
You might ask why public nudity needs to be criminalized at all, provided it's not part of a sex crime. That's a valid question, one that Morzel had the courage to ask. But apparently some local residents don't know we're past the age of fig leaves and shame when it comes to nudity and complained to police about naked folks riding bikes or running down the mall with pumpkins on their heads. It doesn't matter that these events — the Naked Pumpkin Run and the World Naked Bike Ride Day — are well publicized, enabling those who are upset or overcome by the site of pee-pees and wee-wees to avoid them. The constipated prudes of Boulder demanded action.
Rather than suggesting they increase their fiber intake, police obligingly made some arrests, and people who'd committed no crime greater than making mischief faced fines and the stigma of having to register as a sex offender.
The public nudity ordinance is the city's attempt to provide legal penalties for those who engage in harmless public nudity so that they're not prosecuted under more stringent laws that turn naked pumpkin runners and bike riders into sex offenders.
But instead of sticking with the current restriction on nudity, which criminalizes the public exposure of genitals, they got ber-zealous and decided to make it illegal for women, but not men, to bare their breasts in public.
When Boulder Weekly confronted city staff about this attempt to make the law more restrictive for women, we were told that an exception was written in for breastfeeding. Well, how generous of them! Women can feed their babies. What a progressive town Boulder is!
The gist of our question to city staff was this: Why is it wrong for a woman to have bare breasts in public but not for men?
It seems our city staff — together with Council members Ken Wilson, Geroge Karakehian and Susie Ageton — still consider the female breast to be a sexual organ that's indecent unless stuck in a baby's mouth, while the male breast is just "chest." Perhaps they still think that male sexuality is so potent a force that bare-breasted women will cause social chaos, perhaps even violence, while women, sedate and less lustful than men, don't feel anything at the sight of a nice set of pecs.
Wrong on both counts.
Apart from women whose sexuality has been stifled by archaic social customs or religion, women are every bit as lustful as men. If you think women don't ogle those bare-chested guys playing a game of disc in the park, you're just plain ignorant. And watching women drag down the g-string of a stripper at a male strip show with their teeth will relieve you of any illusion as to women's sexual passivity.
If female breasts are just too sexy for public perusal, then so are men's. Any ordinance barring female nipples must, to be fair, also bare male nipples. Women don't yet make use of their ability to go topless the way their European cousins do, but it's only a matter of time before shirts and jog bras start coming off.
Fortunately, Cowles and Morzel moved to have the nipple bit of the proposed ordinance removed, and Mayor Susan Osborne, Matt Appelbaum and K.C. Becker agreed with them.
Now we can drop this nipple nonsense and go back to a sane discussion on what to do about people who with no ill intent make their privates public.
Ive read this article and you know I don't get it. Maybe I'm a prude. Woman are fighting for the right to walk around topless because men can? Let me ask you this. Why do woman now all of a sudden want to do so? To call attention to themselves? There is a huge difference between guys chest and woman's. Its not the same by any stretch of the means imo.
As beautiful as I find breats to be, they are not and never have been sexual organs! Breasts are not required to reproduce! Then, what are breasts? Groceries for babies! Until this city starts making people cover up there groceries and outlaws picnics and barbecues, bare breasts should be legal! I am utterly grossed out by an obese man going shirtless. Still, I acknowledge his right to do so. These prudes that we have as leaders need to take an anatomy course so that they can realize what is and isn't a sex organ. I'm starting a petiton to make public display of groceries and fast food illegal. Gone will be all the fast food billboards, grocery store ads and anything synonymous with Iron Chefs. If baby groceries are illegal to display, then all groceries must be illegal to display!

No. 12 Mens Soccer Battles Villanova in Ameritas Classic
Creighton (6-4-2, 2-1-1 BIG EAST) is happy to be home after suffering a pair of 1-0 setbacks on the road at No. 20 Marquette last weekend and at Michigan on Tuesday. CU is now 1-3-1 in true road contests this season but stands undefeated at Morrison in 2013 at 5-0-1. Creighton has yet to allow a goal to a BIG EAST team at home and has only allowed one score in its new conference this year.
Meanwhile, Villanova (6-6-1, 1-3-0 BIG EAST) is riding a two-match win streak with shutout victories over St. John's and Lehigh at home in the past week. The Wildcats have also struggled away from home with a 2-5-0 mark.
In the latest NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released Monday, Creighton stands No. 6 overall. The RPI is one of the primary tools utilized by the NCAA for tournament team selections and seeding. The Jays lead seven BIG EAST squads listed among the top 50 this week. Villanova is No. 75 in the latest RPI.
Creighton dropped five spots in the latest NSCAA poll to the No. 12 position in the NSCAA rankings. The Jays dropped to No. 8 in the TopDrawerSoccer Top 25 rankings this week, down one slot from last week. Creighton fell three spots to No. 10 in the latest College Soccer News Top 30 rankings released on Monday. The Jays slipped nine spots to No. 17 in the latest Soccer America Men's Top 25 released on Tuesday. Soccer Times pegged CU at No. 12 this week.
Saturday's contest will be the first meeting between the Bluejays and Wildcats in men's soccer. The Wildcats are one of six first-time foes that the Jays will face this season.
Creighton and Villanova share two common opponents so far this season in Marquette and St. John's with similar results. Both squads shut out the Red Storm in home matches this fall and both lost 1-0 decisions to Marquette, with the Jays' downfall coming on the road last weekend.
Padraic McCullaugh leads the Wildcat attack this season with three goals and seven points on the year. Six players have scored multiple times for VU this season.

Scouting the No. 12 Creighton Bluejays (6-4-2, 2-1-1 BIG EAST)
The No. 12 Creighton men's soccer team returns to the friendly confines of Morrison Stadium this weekend to take on Villanova in the Ameritas Classic. CU looks to remain undefeated at home this season, boasting a 5-0-1 record.
The Jays return home after suffering a pair of 1-0 setbacks on the road last week at Marquette and at Michigan on Tuesday. The Wolverines were the last of seven consecutive CU opponents that participated in the NCAA Tournament a year ago. CU wrapped up that arduous stretch with a 2-3-2 mark.
Sophomore Timo Pitter leads the CU offense this year with three goals and seven points. Senior Bruno Castro and freshman Fabian Herbers are close behind with a pair of goals and six points apiece. Seven Bluejays have already scored multiple goals this season.
In net, junior Alex Bolowich claims a 0.97 goals against average this year and has accumulated 29 saves. Bolowich has started nine matches, including four double overtime contests, for the Jays resulting in a 5-3-1 record. Sophomore Connor Sparrow has started three matches for Creighton compiling a 1-1-1 record and making eight saves on the season.
Creighton ranks No. 23 nationally in save percentage (0.828) and at No. 27 in team goals against average (0.75) as of Thursday.
Scouting the Villanova Wildcats (6-6-1, 1-3-0 BIG EAST)
Villanova is riding a two-match win streak with shutout victories over St. John's and Lehigh at home in the past week. The Wildcats have struggled away from home with a 2-5-0 mark.
Last Saturday Villanova blanked St. John's 2-0 at home and then shut out intrastate rival Lehigh 1-0.
Creighton and Villanova share two common opponents so far this season in Marquette and St. John's with similar results. Both squads shut out the Red Storm in home matches this fall and both lost 1-0 decisions to Marquette, with the Jays' downfall coming on the road last weekend.
Villanova was picked sixth in the 10-team 2013 BIG EAST preseason poll. The Wildcats finished last season with a record of 12-6-2 overall and 3-3-2 in the BIG EAST.
Padraic McCullaugh leads the Wildcat attack this season with three goals and seven points on the year. Six players have scored multiple times for VU this season.
VU goalkeeper Andrew Weakly has started 12 of 13 matches for the Wolverines this season. He owns a 1.47 goals against average and has accumulated 59 saves this year.
Villanova ranks No. 50 nationally for total assist with 18 and No. 55 overall in total points at 54 on the year.
No Goals for You
Creighton has allowed just one goal through four BIG EAST matches this season. Prior to the 1-0 setback at Marquette on Oct. 12, CU blanked Xavier 2-0 on Oct. 5. Earlier CU tied then-No. 12 Georgetown in a scoreless draw on Sept. 28. The Jays knocked off then-No. 7 St. John's 1-0 in double overtime a week prior on Sept. 21.
The Jays have only allowed three total goals to conference foes in the past three seasons, all occurring on the road. Missouri State scored a 1-0 victory over CU in Springfield on Oct. 12, 2011. After 10 consecutive Missouri Valley Conference shutouts, Creighton surrendered a goal at Evansville during a 2-1 Jays' victory at UE on Nov. 3, 2012.
Following CU's 2-0 victory over new conference mate Xavier on Oct. 5; the Bluejays have not yielded a tally to a conference foe inside Morrison Stadium since Bradley scored two goals during a match on Nov. 6, 2010.
Creighton is undefeated in its last 12 home matches (11-0-1) dating back to last fall when the Bluejays fell 3-1 to Saint Louis on Sept. 22.
The Jays have not dropped a league match inside Morrison Stadium in almost three years, since a 2-1 loss to Bradley on Nov. 6, 2010. CU is 10-0-0 against conference foes at home during that span – all shutouts.
The Bluejays' 1-0 double-overtime victory over No. 7 St. John's on Sept. 21 lifted Creighton's record to 22-3-2 all-time against Top 25 opponents visiting Morrison Stadium.
Rank You Very Much
Creighton is the No. 6 team in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released Tuesday. In order to rank that high, CU had to do two things: play a tough schedule and perform well against it.
The Jays have done both in early 2013. Creighton is 2-1-1 against teams ranked in the top 25 at the time of the match including wins over then-No. 14 Tulsa and then-No. 7 St. John's to go with a tie at then-No. 12 Georgetown.
Ten of Creighton's 12 opponents to open this season are among the top 50 in the latest RPI that ranks all 202 NCAA Division I squads.
Creighton ended a stretch that began late last month in which the Jays faced seven squads in a row that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season in a span of just under a month. CU completed that arduous span with a mark of 2-3-2.
Going the Distance
After playing a 0-0 tie at No. 12 Georgetown on Sept. 28, the Bluejays set a new program record by playing in in five consecutive double overtime contests.
Jays Claim Program Win No. 400
Creighton secured the program's 400th all-time victory on Sept. 21 after a 1-0 double-overtime decision against No. 7 St. John's. The Jays currently boast an all-time record of 401-158-60 since their first season in 1979.
Thrilling BIG EAST Debut
The Bluejays claimed a 1-0 double overtime victory in their BIG EAST conference debut against No. 7 St. John's on Sept. 21 inside Morrison Stadium. Creighton stands at 2-0 all-time in conference debuts; the Jays edged Bradley 2-1 in their Missouri Valley Conference opener on Oct. 18, 1991.
Winning Over Crowds
Over 5,200 fans witnessed Creighton's 1-0 double-overtime defeat of No. 7 St. John's in the Jays' BIG EAST debut on Sept. 21 at Morrison Stadium. The crowd of 5,282 ranked as the sixth-largest crowd ever to attend a collegiate match at the Bluejays' home.
The total edged out a contingent of 5,102 Bluejay faithful that witnessed CU defeat Columbia 3-1 earlier this season on Sept. 6. With the win, Creighton is now 5-7-1 in front of 5,000-plus fans since 2000.
At then-No. 22 Saint Louis on Oct. 2, 3,070 fans packed Hermann Stadium to watch the Bluejays battle the Billikens. It marked the largest crowd in a regular-season true road contest to see the Jays play since 5,648 fans saw CU visit then-No. 3 Maryland on Sept. 30, 2011.
Last year on Sept. 14, then-No. 2 Creighton fell 2-1 to then-No. 14 Old Dominion in front of 6,848 fans – the top home crowd all-time at Morrison Stadium.
Cutting It Close
After six one-goal decisions this season, the Jays are 14-6 in games decided by one goal since the beginning of 2012.
Creighton is 2-1-2 in overtime matches this season following a scoreless tie at then-No. 12 Georgetown, a 2-2 tie versus Michigan State and 1-0 victory over then-No. 7 St. John's last month.
CU suffered a 3-2 setback to William & Mary and clinched a 2-1 win at Old Dominion earlier this season at the Stihl Classic, both in overtime. The Jays went undefeated at 3-0-3 in extra time last season.
One Goal to Nil
Following CU's 1-0 setback at Michigan on Tuesday, Creighton has won 13 of its previous 17 matches ending in a 1-0 score, including a 7-1 ledger in 2012 contests.
Recent Overtime Perfection Halted
Prior to the 3-2 setback to William & Mary on Sept. 15, the Jays had not suffered an overtime loss in 16 matches dating back to a 3-2 setback in extra time to SMU on Sept. 17, 2010, at the Hotels at Grand Prairie Classic.
Before the overtime loss to William & Mary, Creighton boasted a 10-0-6 overtime record since that 2010 match, including the victory over Old Dominion on Sept. 13. The Jays had kept opponents scoreless in overtime for over 234 straight minutes before the Tribe scored its game winner.
Jays Achieve No. 1 Ranking for the First Time in 14 Years
Following a 3-1 victory over Columbia on Sept. 6, Creighton became the top squad in the nation according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released Sept. 10.
It marked the Jays' first time back in the top spot since September 1999. Creighton ranked as high as No. 2 in each of the past three seasons, including earlier this fall.
The 2010 preseason poll was the last time the Jays went unranked.
Jays' History When Perched at No. 1
After a 1-1 split against host Old Dominion and William & Mary at the Stihl Classic Sept. 13-15, Creighton now boasts a 9-2-1 record all-time as the top-ranked team in the NSCAA poll. After a double-overtime setback to the Tribe, the Bluejays dropped four spots to No. 5 in the rankings.
The Bluejays went 1-0-1 after achieving the top ranking in the Sept. 15, 1999 poll. CU defeated Harvard 6-0 before tying Boston University 1-1 a day later. The tie dropped the Jays to No. 3 the following week.
Creighton's longest run at No. 1 occurred in 1993 when the Bluejays spent the final five weeks of the regular season in the top spot. CU finished the regular season undefeated at 19-0 including seven consecutive victories while ranked No. 1. The Jays suffered a heart-breaking four-overtime 2-1 loss to Air Force in the first round of the NCAA Tournament that season to halt the streak.
Two Jays Earn Recognition from BIG EAST
Sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike claimed Defensive Player of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, the league office announced Sept. 30. Senior Bruno Castro also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
It marks the first Defensive Player of the Week honor for Hines-Ike and third defensive accolade awarded to a Bluejay by the conference this season. Junior Eric Miller claimed recognition in two of the first four weeks for Creighton.
Hines-Ike won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after helping to anchor the Creighton backline against Michigan State and at No. 12 Georgetown. He played all 220 minutes in the Jays' pair of double-overtime contests against the Spartans and Hoyas. Hines-Ike and the defense led Creighton to its second blanking of a BIG EAST foe to begin the conference slate. The Denver native has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record four shutouts through eight matches.
The honor roll achievement collected by Castro marks his first accolade from the BIG EAST. A Bluejay has claimed a spot on the conference weekly honor roll in four of the first five weeks this season.
Castro earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after scoring his second goal of the season as part of a three-point night in a 2-2 tie against Michigan State last week. The Costa Rica native connected on a header from 15 yards out against MSU to record the final score of the match. Castro also made an assist on the Jays' first goal against the Spartans.
Three Jays Claim BIG EAST Weekly Honors
CU junior Eric Miller and freshman Fabian Herbers claimed Defensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, respectively, the league announced Sept. 23. Junior Alex Bolowich also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
It marks the second Defensive Player of the Week honor for Miller this season and Herbers' first accolade from the conference. The honor roll recognition gained by Bolowich follows a Goalkeeper of the Week honor awarded earlier this season.
Herbers scored the lone goal of the match off of a free kick at 108:05 in a double overtime against No. 7 St. John's to secure Creighton's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. It marked his second goal of the season, both game-winners. Herbers is currently tied for second on the team with two goals and six points on the season.
Herbers also earned a spot on the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week for his game-winning goal on a free kick against the Red Storm.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline against No. 7 St. John's, helping the Bluejays record the team's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. He played all 108 minutes in the double overtime victory over St. John's. Miller has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record four shutouts through nine matches.
Bolowich earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after recording his third shutout of the season and second shutout of a ranked opponent. Bolowich made three saves in the victory over No. 7 St. John's.
Pitter Claims Spot on BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for Second Straight Week
Sophomore Timo Pitter led the Creighton offense after posting his third goal of the year on the Jays' game-winning score over the Lions Sept. 6. For a second straight week, Pitter claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll. He currently leads the Jays with three goals and seven points.
Miller, Bolowich Earn BIG EAST Weekly Honors after Opening Weekend
Creighton juniors Eric Miller and Alex Bolowich claimed Defensive Player of the Week and Goalkeeper of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, respectively, the league announced on Sept. 2.
The weekly conference honor bestowed solely on athletic performance is a career first for both Miller and Bolowich. The classmates each claimed a scholar-athlete weekly award a season ago. The weekly awards are the first given to Creighton men's soccer student-athletes by the BIG EAST.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline on the opening weekend, helping the Bluejays record a pair of shutout wins over No. 14 Tulsa (2-0) and Cal Poly (3-0). He also scored a rare goal, just the second of his career in Omaha, against Cal Poly on a redirected header from freshman Fabian Herbers.
Bolowich shined for Creighton in the pair of shutouts to open the 2013 season to claim BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week accolades. Bolowich blanked No. 14 Tulsa in the Jays' opener with seven saves. He played only the first half against Cal Poly, making two stops.
Herbers Earns Team of Week Nod in First Outing
CU freshman Fabian Herbers claimed a spot on TopDrawerSoccer's Team of the Week, released Sept. 3, after posting four points for the Jays on the opening weekend. He helped Creighton record a pair of wins with a goal and two assists. Herbers' first career goal as a Bluejay was the game winner against No. 14 Tulsa. He also made two assists against Cal Poly.
California Dreaming
After blanking Cal Poly 3-0 on Sept. 1, Creighton improved its record to 16-0-3 against California-based schools in its last 19 meetings. The Jays won both matches against teams from the Golden State in 2012 defeating both Santa Clara and Saint Mary's by 1-0 margins. Creighton's last loss to a team from California came on Sept. 7, 2003, a 2-1 double overtime loss at Loyola Marymount.
Starting the Season Off Right
• After a 2-0 shutout of Tulsa, Creighton is unbeaten in its last seven season-opening matches, going 5-0-2 in those contests.
• Creighton has allowed one total goal to its last five season-opening opponents. Northern Illinois scored the lone goal last year after three years of shutouts.
BIG EAST Preseason Honors
The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected No. 2 Creighton to place second in the 2013 preseason poll the behind fellow 2012 College Cup participant, No. 11 Georgetown.

Echinococcus is an infection caused by the Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis worm.
Alternative Names
Hydatidosis; Hydatid disease, Hydatid cyst disease
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Echinococcus is common in:
- Africa
- Central Asia
- Southern South America
- The Mediterranean
- The Middle East
In the United States, the disease is very rare. However, it has been reported in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
Humans become infected when they swallow eggs in contaminated food. The infection is carried to the liver, where cysts form. Cysts can also form in the:
- Brain
- Bones
- Kidney
- Lungs
- Skeletal muscles
- Spleen
Risk factors include being exposed to:
- Cattle
- Deer
- Feces of dogs, wolves, or coyotes
- Pigs
- Sheep
A liver cyst may produce no symptoms for 10 - 20 years until it is large enough to be felt by physical examination.
Symptoms include:
- Pain in the upper right part of the abdomen
- Bloody sputum
- Chest pain
- Cough
- Fever
- Severe skin itching
Signs and tests
A physical examination may show signs of:
- Abdominal pain
- Problems with the skin and other organs
- Shock
The following tests may be done to find the cysts:
- Abdominal CT scan or ultrasound
- Abdominal X-ray
- Blood test
- Chest x-ray
- Liver function tests
- Thoracic CT scan or ultrasound
Most often, echinococcosis is found when an imaging test is done for another reason.
Many patients can be treated with albendazole or mebendazole. These medications are often used for up to 3 months. Another drug, praziquantel, may be helpful combined with albendazole or mebendazole.
The cysts may be removed with surgery, if possible. This can be a complicated surgery.
Expectations (prognosis)
If the cysts respond to oral medication, the likely outcome is good.
The cysts may break open (rupture) and cause severe illness, including:
- Fever
- Low blood pressure
- Shock
The cysts may also spread throughout the body.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disorder.
In areas where the disease is known to occur, health education and routinely removing tapeworms from dogs can help prevent the disease.

Justesen is the former deputy assistant secretary for the U.S. Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
He is also the former director of special education programs and the former deputy commissioner of the U.S. Rehabilitation Services Administration within the department.
In the mid-1990s while working at the U.S. Department of Justice, Justesen was assigned lead oversight of the design and construction of sporting venue stadiums for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga., which at that time, was the largest investigation of its kind.
Early in 2007, Justesen was appointed to lead two U.S. foreign delegations, one to France before the United Nations Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development and one to the Kingdom of Denmark.
He has published and lectured in the fields of education law and policy, health care policy and international human rights at several of the nation's leading universities.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 20, 1996
Philadelphia, PA, May 20, 1996 -- James O. Armitage, M.D., professor and chairman, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center, today assumed the presidency of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) during the Society's Annual Meeting.
An internationally-recognized oncologist, Dr. Armitage's research focuses on bone marrow transplantation, and the management and classification of lymphoma.
"The health care system in the U.S. is changing, and the impact on cancer patients is substantial," noted Dr. Armitage. "The advent of managed care puts at risk our ability to do clinical research, and thereby, advance cancer treatment. That scenario blurs the relationship of patients and their oncologist. ASCO needs to continue to be a leader in protecting the health and rights of cancer patients, and I'm confident that we will."
A member of ASCO's Board of Directors from 1988-1990, Dr. Armitage currently serves on the Board of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and is chairman of its Clinical Affairs Committee. He is a past member of the board of the American Society of Hematology, and serves on numerous editorial boards including Annals of Oncology, Blood, and Leukemia and Lymphoma.
A member of ASCO's Board of Directors from 1989-1992, Dr. Mayer is also a member of the American Joint Committee on Cancer. He was a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine from 1985-1995. He serves on numerous editorial boards, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Harvard Medical School Health Letter, and Annals of Surgical Oncology.

When dealing with broadband, there really isn't a way to say what is faster unless the area the service is coming from is known. Some Cable lines can be 128KBps - 6MBps download, and usually no more than 512KBps upload (at least so I've seen so far). DSL can also range from 128KBps - 6MBps download, but with a 128KBps - 6MBps upload depending on the type of DSL (Sync HDSL/SDSL ASync ADSL).
If you compared a Cable line that had speeds of 3MBps down 128KBps up, and a n ADSL line with 1.5MBps down 128KBps up, you would say the cable is faster. Sure it is at it's peak performance. Cable customers "share" a pipe, meaning when no one is on it you can get the speed of 3MBps/128KBps. When more users are on the line at the same time that speed is decreased since you are sharing the pipe. At peak times you might not get more than 60KBps/60KBps.
On the other hand, with DSL you have a fixed line that you know will "never" (unless your ISP changes it) change in speeds.
Now when you get into the commercial "T-Carrier" lines, like T1 T2 and T3, you are buying a lease to a line (aka leased line) that has a fixed synced rate like your H/SDSL. DS1/T1 is 1.544MBps/1.544MBps, DS2 with 6MBps/6MBps, and DS3/T3 at 44MBps/44MBps. When you want to go even faster, you hit the OC lines. The fastest being the OC-192 hitting speeds of 10GBps/10GBps.

SSA: Lowell Spinners 5, @ Brooklyn Cyclones 3
The Cyclones either needed to win their final game or have Batavia lose one of their two doubleheader games in Jamestown. As it happens, the Muckdogs lost them both.
With a playoff berth in hand before taking the field, the Cyclones rested scheduled starter Luis Mateo to hold him back for game two on the NYP Semi-Finals and turned to Matt Koch, the Mets' third round pick in 2012, to make the spot start. Koch allowed two runs, both earned on two hits and a walk while fanning two in 2.2 innings as his ERA rose to 5.01. Koch has not dominated the NYP with 25 hits allowed in 23.1 innings, and a K/BB under 3 (19 K/7 BB). For a hard-throwing college closer in a league often ruled by pitching, that's a fairly disappointing debut.
Gavin Cecchini got the start at shortstop, and went 0-for-4.
1B Jayce Boyd was 2-for-4 with a double. This year's sixth rounder out of Florida State, Boyd finished up the NYP regular season at .239/.320/.368 with 25 walks against 30 strikeouts.
Hansel Robles, who did not allow an earned run in August, will get the start for the Cyclones in game one in MCU Park on Friday night.
The Cyclones' celebration picture comes from the Twitter feed of Cyclones GM Steve Cohen.
