The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the Worldby Michael Pollan
"A lovely book that succeeds in attaining that most elusive of states: grace." Adrienne Miller, Esquire (Read the entire Esquire review.)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In 1637, one Dutchman paid as much for a single tulip bulb as the going price of a town house in Amsterdam. Three and a half centuries later, Amsterdam is once again the mecca for people who care passionately about one particular plant — though this time the obsessions revolves around the intoxicating effects of marijuana rather than the visual beauty of the tulip. How could flowers, of all things, become such objects of desire that they can drive men to financial ruin?
In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan argues that the answer lies at the heart of the intimately reciprocal relationship between people and plants. In telling the stories of four familiar plant species that are deeply woven into the fabric of our lives, Pollan illustrates how they evolved to satisfy humankinds's most basic yearnings — and by doing so made themselves indispensable. For, just as we've benefited from these plants, the plants, in the grand co-evolutionary scheme that Pollan evokes so brilliantly, have done well by us. The sweetness of apples, for example, induced the early Americans to spread the species, giving the tree a whole new continent in which to blossom. So who is really domesticating whom?
Weaving fascinating anecdotes and accessible science into gorgeous prose, Pollan takes us on an absorbing journey that will change the way we think about our place in nature.
"I find this book to be inspirational — curiosity and gentleness of spirit forming genius." Richard Ford
"Pollan shines a light on our own nature as well as on our implication in the natural world." The New York Times
"Michael Pollan is a sensualist and a wonderful, funny storyteller. He is so engaging that his profound environmental messages are effortlessly communicated. He makes you fall in love with Nature." Alice Waters
"This book is as crisp as an October apple, as juicy as an August tomato, as long-awaited as the first flower of spring. Michael Pollan has conceived a new and powerful understanding of who we are, and how we stand in relation to everything else — and the stories he tells to prove the point make the world seem a richer place." Bill McKibben, author of Long Distance and The End of Nature
"It is a rare pleasure to read a book of ideas so graceful and witty that it makes you smile — at times even laugh out loud — with delight as it challenges you to rethink important issues." Mark Kurlansky, author of The Basque History of the World
"Like Tracy Kidder, Michael Pollan is a writer to immerse in. He's informed and amusing, with a natural sort of voice that spools on inventively beyond expectations into a controlled but productive and intriguing obsessiveness (whether on Johnny Appleseed or marijuana). A fine book." Edward Hoagland, author of Compass Points
"No one else writes about the human environment quite like Michael Pollan: we can be grateful indeed that one of our wittiest writers about nature is also one of our wisest. In The Botany of Desire, Pollan makes a persuasive case that the plants we might be tempted to see as having been most domesticated by humanity are in fact also those that have been most effective in domesticating us. It is a stunning insight, and no one will come away from this book without having their ideas of nature stretched and challenged." William Cronon, editor of Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in Nature
"A wry, informed pastoral." The New Yorker
Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and, in the process, spreads the flowers genes far and wide. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship. He masterfully links four fundamental human desires — sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control — with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind's most basic yearnings. And just as we've benefited from these plants, we have also done well by them. So who is really domesticating whom?
About the Author
Michael Pollan is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine as well as a contributing editor at Harper's magazine. He is the author of two prize-winning books: Second Nature: A Gardener's Education and A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder. Pollan lives in Connecticut with his wife and son.

All-new in 2014, the Swiss Diamond 11" Square Fry Pan offers additional cooking are without taking up an excessive amount of extra space. At 11x11 inches, this square pan holds 2.5-quarts of liquid, almost 20% more than a typical round fry pan. The bottom has been expertly trimmed to fit a round stove heating element and the cast aluminum ensures that even the corners receive even heat distribution. This pan is oven safe up to 500°F and is dishwasher safe although handwashing is recommended.
Swiss Diamond HD Cookware is some of the finest quality Non-Stick cookware available on the market today. At JL Hufford we take pride in being able to offer you these great pieces of cookware at the lowest price possible while also offering you the best customer service in the business. We want your cookware to last a lifetime, if possible, and we want to offer you the best information possible so that your cookware will last. Swiss Diamond offers a plethora of Use and Care knowledge on their website to help you take care of your specialty non-stick cookware, and as always we here at JL Hufford are more than willing to help you out with whatever you may need, simply contact us here and one of our highly trained customer service associates will get back with you as soon as possible to help you with your problem.
Swiss Diamond cookware is designed to provide you with a lifetime of next-to-none nonstick cookware performance and proper maintenance and cleaning is a very important part of making sure that these quality pans do just that. As always, it is very important to follow proper maintenance procedures as failure to follow these will void your Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Medium to Low Heat Only: Swiss Diamond Cookware is designed in such a way that the use of extremely high heat settings is never required. These pans are designed to provide excellent thermal conductivity between the heat source and the cookware piece and the use of high heat settings can actually cause damage to the cookware. Swiss Diamond recommends starting out at a medium heat setting and making minor adjustments as needed to achieve the perfect heat level. Always make sure to place your pan on the exact center of the heating element. CAUTION: Overheating your Swiss Diamond cookware WILL cause irreparable damage to your cookware and void your Limited Lifetime Warranty
To allow for proper expansion of the materials in the pan as it heats and to ensure a very evenly heated cooking surface, Swiss Diamond recommends that you preheat the cookware for two to three minutes before adding any food.
In order to test the readiness of the pan, you simply need to sprinkle a few drops of water across the surface of the pan and take note of the reaction that occurs. Sizzling and beading of the water indicates that the cookware is prepared for use and that the pan should be heated no further. If the water instantly vaporizes this indicates that the cookware is too hot and that the temperature should be reduced and the pan re-tested in two to three minutes. Again, it is VERY important to not overheat your cookware as this will cause damage and void your Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Swiss Diamond pans have been designed from the bottom up to NOT be used with any sort of oil or spray. The special nonstick surface is designed to keep food from sticking to it for a lifetime. If you do decide to utilize an oil for cooking, it is very important to ALWAYS use it at the manufacturer's recommended heat setting to avoid damage to your cookware. For Example: Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Butter should only ever be used over a LOW heat setting.CAUTION:Non Stick cooking sprays should never be used as they will damage the non-stick surface of the cookware and void your Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The integrity of the non-stick surface in your Swiss Diamond cookware can be easily compromised if the wrong utensils are used during cooking. Any metal utensil or utensil with a sharp point or edge should never be used as it may scratch and damage the nonstick cooking surface of your cookware. You should also avoid chopping, cutting, or use of any electric whisk or beater during cooking as it may also damage the nonstick cooking surface of your cookware. Swiss Diamond recommends the use of only Silicone or Wooden cooking utensils as these will not harm the non-stick cooking surfaces of your special cookware.
All Swiss Diamond cookware is designed to be oven safe up to 500°F (260°C), this includes the lids included with many pieces and the ergonomic serving handles present on many pieces.
Swiss Diamond are designed to be 100% dishwasher safe but it is recommended that you hand wash your pans to ensure that they do not get scraped or dinged while inside the dishwasher. Swiss Diamond recommends that before you use each piece of cookware for the first time (and after each successive use) that you thoroughly wash them with hot, very soapy water. It is important to never use oven cleaners or any sort of abrasive pads or detergents on your cookware as this will damage the non-stick cooking surface and void your warranty.
When Swiss Diamond cookware has not been cleaned properly after each use a thin layer of food residue may form on the pan and will carbonize the next time that the pan is used, food will stick to this carbonized layer and hinder the performance of your cookware.
If cabinet space requires that you stack your Swiss Diamond cookware, it is recommended that you use a paper towel between each pan in order to prevent scratches to the non-stick cooking surfaces.


text: This course is designed to get students to the next level in their careers. The assumption is that their careers have peaked at the point where their technical expertise and IQ can take them; their future success requires getting the ordinary people around them to do extraordinary things. Students will take away practical tools for improving their ability in influencing, negotiating and leading changes in their organizations. Emphasis is on the practical. Many of the principles are demonstrated using classroom experiments. The final project requires students to apply course concepts to an ongoing challenge in their current work environment.

FORT DRUM A retired 10th Mountain Division officer will be presented the Medal of Honor, becoming the sixth living combat veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan to receive the militarys highest honor.
Capt. William D. Swenson is being honored for his courageous actions during a six-hour battle on Sept. 8, 2009, in the Ganjgal valley of eastern Afghanistan, where he was an embedded trainer and mentor of the Afghan National Security Forces with the 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
He is the first living Army officer to be nominated for the award in four decades.
The honor was announced in an email from the White House on Monday afternoon. President Barack Obama will present Capt. Swenson with the medal on Oct. 15 at a ceremony that he will attend with his family.
According to a military synopsis, Capt. Swenson was part of an Afghan and American operation in the valley of Ganjgal Ghar to encourage elders to separate from insurgent forces and connect with the Afghan government.
When his team was ambushed by about 60 well-armed insurgents concealed along the terraced mountains, Capt. Swenson took immediate action to assess the situation and return fire, coordinate the response of partnered Afghan forces and call for suppressive artillery fire and aviation support.
He also is credited with providing first aid to a comrade and leading multiple teams to recover wounded American and Afghan personnel, as well as three Marines and one Navy corpsman killed in action.
He is the second service member to receive the Medal of Honor from the 2009 fight. Also involved was Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer, then a corporal, who received the award in September 2011.
Five American and nine Afghan service personnel and an Afghan translator died; 24 Afghans and four Americans, including Capt. Swenson and Sgt. Meyer, were wounded. In addition to the two Medal of Honor nominations, participants received a slew of other commendations.
However, two Army officers received reprimands for dereliction of duty for spurning calls by Capt. Swenson and others for artillery and air support.
Capt. Swenson, a Seattle native who retired from the Army in 2011, is the second 10th Mountain Division soldier to receive the Medal of Honor since 2001, and the third overall. Also receiving the honor was Sgt. 1st Class Jared C. Monti, who was posthumously honored in September 2009 for his actions in Afghanistan in June 2006, along with Pfc. John D. Magrath in 1945 for his actions during World War II.
Capt. Swenson was first nominated on Dec. 18, 2009. However, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, had to resubmit Capt. Swensons papers in July 2011 after they were said to be in what the Army later claimed was a bureaucratic foul-up due partly to high staff turnover at U.S. Forces-Afghanistan, or USFOR-A, the American contingent in NATOs International Security and Assistance Force.
A McClatchy Newspapers investigation published Aug. 6, 2012, found that an internal U.S. military probe indicated that as Sgt. Meyers nomination sailed through the approval process, there may have been an effort to kill Capt. Swensons nomination.
His nomination had been stalled since at least last summer, prompting Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., R-Calif., in January to ask the Army and the Defense Department to explain the delay.
Capt. Swenson joined the Army in 2002. His 2009 tour was the third of his career.

God's Word is powerful and effective, and He has called you to proclaim it. Through Southwestern Seminary's School of Theology, you will find answers to your questions about His Word and your ministry. From Christ-centered, conservative scholars, you'll learn biblical languages, apologetics, theology, church history, preaching, pastoral ministry and much more.
In the School of Theology, you'll also put your knowledge into practice: You will share your faith, make disciples and evangelize the nations. You'll serve local churches and travel to the world's most demanding mission fields, from places like the inner cities of the U.S. to the dusty towns and villages of Mexico and Africa.
Professors at Southwestern come with both world-class credentials and a passion for the Bible, the church and evangelism. In the School of Theology, you'll be able to interact with your professors both inside and outside the classroom. Join them for lunch, meet them on the playing field during intramural sports, or develop a mentoring relationship with them.
Dean of the School of Theology
The School of Theology has master's and doctoral degrees that will build your foundations for ministry.
Southwestern's Master of Divinity degree offers the essentials for pastoral ministry. Within this 91-hour degree program, you will build a foundation of biblical knowledge, as well as preaching, evangelism and ministry skills. Additionally, you can customize your program through focused study in fields like Old and New Testament exposition, church history, apologetics, theology, pastoral leadership, women's studies and much more. Through the school's other degree programs, you can gain specialized study in areas like theology and biblical archaeology. Whatever God calls you to do, Southwestern has a degree program that will help you apply His word to your ministry.
"I love to teach at Southwestern because it gives me the opportunity to mold the next generation of godly preachers in pulpits around the world. The spirit of our students on campus reflected from the classrooms to chapel to other activities is amazing. These are young men and women who will go anywhere and take on any job for Christ and His kingdom."David Allen
This degree offers the essentials for ministry, training you in biblical languages, theology, preaching and more. In the M.Div., you'll also put your knowledge into practice as you share your faith, make disciples and evangelize the nations.
Through this degree, you can build on your undergraduate theological training by replacing introductory courses with advanced electives. The student must have a theological undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
If you are not called to full-time ministry but want to serve Christ in your church and community, you can build your theological and ministry skills through this degree.
Tailored for students who want to dig deeply into theology, biblical studies, philosophy and ethics, this degree can prepare you for Southwestern's doctoral program. The M.A.Th. builds upon a minimum of 30 undergraduate hours of Bible and theology prerequisites.
This program will train you through advanced classes in archaeological methods, the history of the Bible lands and ancient languages. You'll have on-the-job training through Southwestern's digs and surveys at Tel Gezer, Israel, and Kourion, Cyprus.
The Master of Arts (Christian Apologetics) is a graduate level degree offering advanced work in the discipline of Christian Apologetics. Christian Apologetics is, by its very nature, interdisciplinary. It involves any discipline that provides a defense for the Christian Faith, especially Biblical/Theological studies, Philosophy, Science, History and Cultural Studies.
One of Southwestern's most advanced theological degrees at the master's level, the Th.M. program will train you in a specific area of theology. It can also prepare you for the Ph.D. program. (M.Div. required)
Southwestern Seminary offers Ph.D. degrees within each of its schools, providing you the opportunity to gain advanced training in specified areas of theology, archaeology, evangelism and missions, church and family ministries, or church music.
This degree will further equip you for ministry without requiring you to relocate to Fort Worth. Two seminars, each a year in length, will include two-week classroom sessions in the summer and conferences each fall and spring that complement your ministry schedule. Throughout the year, you will maintain your academic studies through online resources. During your final year of study, you will complete your dissertation.
Start your journey of fulfilling God's call on your life today.
However God calls you to train His people, the School of Theology will equip you to handle the Word of God and apply it to ministry.

I have used these candles for 25 years. Miles Kimball still has the best price on them. They do burn drippy, but that just doesnt matter. I have given these as gifts for many years along with vintage candleholders that I find along the way. I am buying these to send to my children for their children to enjoy. Also one of our traditions is....ohhhh we burned 2 days..lol
Wonderful Tradition!
By AK

WE have used these every year and my boys are now in college! We have shared this tradition with many family and friends whom we provide it for each year!They are hard to mail easily, but really fun to share.They are very messy - NOT dripless candles so you need a good candle holder.Wish they were a little cheaper, but still love it!

About Me Midrange Shopper
Both Advent Candles arrived broken. When I contacted customer service they refunded the purchase price of the candles but not of the shipping. I would not purchase candles from them again since they do not know how to package fragile items.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me High-end Shopper
For me, I purchase a dozen every year and send them with a Thanksgiving greeting card to family members to enjoy while preparing for Christmas. Everyone loves them and looks forward to receive them each Thanksgiving. I have done this for 25 years and will continue as long as Miles Kimball has them available. Please DO NOT discontinue this item. Thank you and we are burning down each day! Merry Christmas!

AAdorable candle! Bought one for me and one as a gift. The only problem was I had a hard time finding a taper candle holder. Would never have guessed it would be difficult to find them. But I finally did and the candle is a hit with my daughter and my niece! Highly recommend!

Our family got hooked on these candles over 20 years ago. You seem to be the only place left to purchase them. Even though the price on the candle is a good one, the shipping costs for just an item or two is high. I understand the cost of everything has increased and you have to make a profit. But sometimes I don't order because I don't have a large enough order to make the shipping costs worthwhile. But I like your catalog and the items I have purchased from your company.

Chantal Akerman Presents News from Home
Wednesday, October 30, 2013, 4:30 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
Includes the following film:
News from Home
1977. Belgium/France/West Germany. Directed by Chantal Akerman. Preserved by the Royal Film Archive of Belgium. 89 min.
Described by Melissa Anderson as "one of the most unheralded portraits of the city," News from Home is as much a symphony of urban geometric abstraction as it is a poetic diaspora tale. Inspired by the letters she received from her mother while living in New York, Akerman returned to the city after an absence and filmed its streets with her Pentax camera. "Although Akerman's New York is largely a city of non-sites—empty Tribeca alleys, dingy Midtown parking lots, an abandoned gas station tucked into the crook of another building's wall—the symmetry of her composition gives it the classic aura of ancient Rome" (J. Hoberman). From the eternal city Akerman reads her mother's letters, conjuring a sense of distant voices and still lives.

For the second year in a row the state legislature hosted Rural Legislative Day.
And for the second year in a row it was a chance for rural officials and business people to mingle with lawmakers and other state government officials at the Capitol for the day.
Carbon County had a good contingent of people at the dome for the day. They also set up a booth in the rotunda for the legislators and others to see, so those people could learn more about the county, the businesses and the tourism opportunities.
The day began with the Rural Legislative Caucus, which while held every Friday morning during the regular session of the legislature, was more heavily attended than usual because of the number of rural participants. The caucus was created so that rural legislators can hear about concerns and look at legislation from other rural parts of the state and discuss them. Each caucus has a number of rural concerns that present their causes to the caucus.
The caucus can vary depending on attendance on any particular day from 18-20 state senators and representatives. Included in that group are Sen. David Hinkins and Rep. Christine Watkins, both from the local area.
The presentations on Friday consisted of Carbon's own Superintendent Steve Carlsen presenting the concept of "nest" schools; schools that are small and in need of help. Nest schools are not necessarily only in small districts, but are often in isolated areas in larger districts.
"What we are looking for are equal opportunities for the students in these kinds of schools," said Carlsen to the caucus. "The academic opportunities they have are diminished."
Others presented on such issues as what the state classifies as rural and what the state is facing in what is termed regional haze issues (air pollution) and upcoming regulation concerning that area of environmentalism.
Later that morning the general session for the Rural Day was held. The speakers included Lt. Gov. Greg Bell, Gov. Gary Herbert, and various legislators.
Bell welcomed the guests which filled the small auditorium and he introduced the governor. Herbert's main comments were related to economic growth, a main theme of his administration.
Governor wants more funds for BEAR
"When I was a kid my father one day said to me 'Gary, everything you see around you, everything you use or eat comes from the earth. We either mine it or we grow it,'" he told the audience. "I think we need to be laser-like in pursuing economic development in Utah."
Herbert went on to comment on about various issues concerning Utah's growth and stature in the nation. He pointed out how the BEAR program (Business Expansion and Retention, that started in Carbon County) has been helping counties all over the state.
"We need to put more money into the BEAR program to help to grow and expand businesses from within rather than recruit from without," he said.
He also brought up highway construction and remodeling. He said he was recently visiting Texas and was in a helicopter with some officials planning a highway and when he asked them how they laid out new highways. He said they just looked at the area involved from the air and made a straight line from one place to another.
75 percent public land
He brought up the fact to them that that couldn't be done in Utah because of the geography, but that also any road that was to be built had to be cleared through many channels because of the amount of public land that would need to be crossed in most places. The Texas officials apparently thought that was pretty funny because Texas only has two or three percent of its land that is public; the rest is private. In Utah the states percentage is near 75 percent.
"I asked them to guess how much public land we had in Utah and after I told them we had a lot they started out at about 20 percent," he said. "I laughed and told them higher. When they got to about 60 percent, they called me a liar and asked, 'How would you get anything done with that much pubic land to deal with?" I told them 'Bingo. That's the challenge in Utah.'"
Herbert went on to talk about how the state has been dealing with federal public land and said Utah has three arrows in its quiver to fight the battle.
"We have negotiation, we have county by county plans that can be worked out and made effective by Congressional legislation or we have litigation," he stated.
He also pointed out that he thought the federal governments tactics on RS 2477 roads was unconscionable and that Resource Management Plans need to be documents that could be trusted, rather than be changed every time a new administration comes into power.
Don't change rules
"Industry can live with the rules if they know what they are," he said. "The rules can't be a moving target."
The governor also talked about state parks (most of which are in rural areas) and the cuts they have had to absorb in the last two years. He said he is committed to keeping them open no matter what.
"The parks need to be kept open even if they are not profitable," he told the group.
The session concluded with a number of legislators from rural areas speaking to the group including Rep. Christine Watkins and she spoke about land issues too.
'We understand land'
"There are a number of people who say we aren't good enough and smart enough to manage the land around where we live," she stated. "They are wrong. We are the ones that understand it and live with it."
After the morning session there was a luncheon in the rotunda of the capitol building at which those attending sat and ate with many state legislators and executive branch representatives. Then rural participants got to meet with a number of legislators about issues.
"I thought it was a complete success," said Carbon County Economic Development Director Delynn Fielding. "There were over 200 people attending and we got to contact a lot of legislators about things we are concerned about."
Fielding also said that he was satisfied because in the afternoon the BEAR representatives from Carbon were able to get information sheets to a number of legislators about the program and how it has been working.
That program has now expanded across the state and is operating in several counties.

Documents: Suspect stabbed victim, ran him over with car until dead
BENTON COUNTY, Wash. -- Deputies arrested two people in connection with the murder of Preston Yahne. Robert McCorkindale, 24, and Laura Bancroft, 19, are being held for the crime, according to the Yakima County Sheriff's Office.
Yahne's remains were found in a burned out car last week in the Lower Valley.
A witness came forward and told authorities he saw two people walking from the car before it burned, according to court documents. That witness identified Bancroft and McCorkindale after they were arrested.
McCorkindale told investigators he stabbed Yahne several times, then ran him over with the car, according to an affidavit. He told them Yahne was still alive, so he ran him over several more times. McCorkindale also admitted he set the vehicle on fire to destroy the evidence.
It's unclear what may have led to the murder.
Since the arrests, detectives discovered information that indicates the homicide happened in Benton County, not Yakima County.
McCorkindale will be held at Benton County Jail without bail pending charges.
Bancroft was booked into Yakima County Jail. Benton County authorities are expected to take custody Bancroft.

Creighton (7-6-2, 3-3-1 BIG EAST) stands alone at fifth in the league standings after a two-match conference road split last week. CU won 3-2 at Butler last Wednesday before dropping a 3-2 match at Seton Hall on Saturday. As a result of the split, the Jays dropped out of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) for the first time since the 2010 preseason poll - a span of 45 weeks.
With just two conference matches remaining the Jays have a chance to move up in the standings. Only the top six teams make the BIG EAST Men's Soccer Championship that begins at campus sites on Nov. 12.

The Bluejays are 5-1-1 in home contests this season but the last match was a 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova on Oct. 19. The match against Drake is only the third home game for CU in October versus five road contests earlier in the month. CU blanked Xavier 2-0 on Oct. 5.
In the latest NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released Monday, Creighton moved up one slot No. 16 overall despite a conference road split. The RPI is one of the primary tools utilized by the NCAA for tournament team selections and seeding. The Jays are one of eight BIG EAST teams ranked among the top 60 this week.
Drake (8-5-3, 3-1-1 Missouri Valley) is undefeated in its last four matches with a 3-0-1 mark entering this week. Last Saturday the Bulldogs edged Bradley at home 2-1. DU has allowed just a total of three goals over those four matches. The Bulldogs rank second in the MVC standings but has the highest RPI in the Valley at No. 50. The Bulldogs are 4-2-2 in true road games this season.
Creighton and Drake share three common opponents this season. CU defeated then-No. 14 Tulsa and Cal Poly at Morrison Stadium on opening weekend while Drake dropped home contests to both schools. Both programs lost at Marquette this season as well.
Jarred Arde leads the Bulldog attack this season with four goals and 11 points on the year. DU's Danton Irelan is second on the squad with four goals and nine points. Darrin MacLeod has played in 13 matches for Drake this season compiling a record of 8-2-2 and a goals against average of 0.77.

DU is second in the MVC standings but holds the highest RPI ranking in the conference at No. 50. Drake has a better record in true road contests than at home this season with a 4-2-2 mark.

Tough Slate
Creighton is the No. 16 team in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released Monday, as the Jays continue through the gauntlet of an extremely tough schedule this season.
Twelve of Creighton's 15 opponents to open this year are among the top 60 in the latest RPI that ranks all 203 NCAA Division I squads. In other words the Bluejays' schedule has consisted of one-fifth of the top 60 teams in the nation. Seven of those 15 foes also received votes in the latest NSCAA Top 25 released Tuesday afternoon.
Nine of the 10 programs in the BIG EAST conference rank among the top 72 in the RPI this week.
Earlier this month Creighton ended a stretch that began in late September 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.
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. CU fell at No. 22 Saint Louis 1-0 on Oct. 2.
Goal Trios
After a CU scoreless streak of over 367 minutes, the Bluejay offense found a spark in their pair of road matches last week. Creighton posted five goals in the split.
The Jays scored three goals after halftime to knock off Butler, the most since the second stanza of the Bluejays' 4-2 victory over Washington in an NCAA Second Round match in Omaha last Nov. 18.
Three days later the Bluejays surrendered three first-half goals at Seton Hall the first such occurrence in at least 15 years of Creighton men's soccer.
CU Defense vs. the BIG EAST
Prior to last week, Creighton had allowed just four goals through its first five BIG EAST matches this season.
On Wednesday, Butler was the first BIG EAST squad to score multiple goals on the Bluejays this season. Then Saturday, Seton Hall became the first BIG EAST squad to post three goals against CU
That slew of five goals followed just one score against CU in each of its prior two league contests - a 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova last Saturday and a 1-0 setback at Marquette on Oct. 12.
CU also blanked its first three league foes including 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 allowed only 11 total goals to conference foes in the past three seasons, with 10 of the 11 occurring on the road.
Creighton's 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova Oct. 19 snapped a 12-match CU unbeaten streak at Morrison Stadium dating back to last fall when the Bluejays fell 3-1 to Saint Louis on Sept. 22. As a result, Creighton is now 11-1-1 in its last 13 home matches.
The downfall to VU marked the first home loss in a conference match inside Morrison Stadium in almost three years - since a 2-1 loss to Bradley on Nov. 6, 2010.
CU is 10-1-0 against conference foes at home during that span – including 10 consecutive shutout victories before the loss to the Wildcats.
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.
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 402-160-60 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
Creighton's 3-2 loss at Seton Hall on Saturday marked the Jays' ninth one-goal decision to go along with two ties this season. CU is 15-8 in games decided by one goal since the beginning of 2012.
Creighton is 2-2-2 in overtime matches this season following a 1-0 downfall to Villanova on Oct. 19, 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 against Villanova on Saturday, Creighton has won 13 of its previous 18 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.
Before this week, 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
