Scouting Creighton
Creighton is 7-2 on the young season, including wins over Nebraska, Tulsa, Arizona State and Saint Joseph's.
The Bluejays returned 11 lettermen and four starters from last year's 28-8 team that reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive season.
Doug McDermott
(25.3 ppg., 6.9 rpg., 45.3 3FG%) is the nation's only returning consensus First Team All-American, as well as the nation's leading returning scorer. He's led the Jays in scoring and rebounding each of the past three seasons, and named Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year by league coaches.
The other three returning starters include guards
Grant Gibbs
(5.9 ppg., 4.7 apg.),
Jahenns Manigat
(6.1 ppg.) and
Austin Chatman
(8.4 ppg., 4.7 apg., 4.6 rpg.). Gibbs led the MVC in assists each of the last two years and was awarded a sixth year of eligibility in early July.

Junior center
Will Artino
(6.3 ppg., 3.3 rpg.) and reigning MVC Sixth Man of the Year
Ethan Wragge
(12.6 ppg., 51.5 3FG%) see time on the front line to help replace starting center

Creighton was picked to finish third in the 10-team BIG EAST Conference this winter.
Scouting Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Arkansas-Pine Bluff is 2-6 on the season and in the midst of a two-month stretch without a home game. The Golden Lions topped Tuskegee and Morehouse in Atlanta to start the season, but have since lost road games at Oklahoma State, Air Force, SMU, Texas A&M, Sam Houston State and Hampton.
Davon Haynes leads UAPB in both scoring (12.4 ppg.) and rebounding (7.6 rpg.). Also scoring in double-digits are Tevin Hammond (11.5 ppg., 3.4 apg., 3.4 spg.) and reserve Marcel Mosley (10.1 ppg.). Both Haynes and Daniel Broughton (7.6 ppg., 4.4 rpg.) were named to the Preseason All-SWAC team.

McDermott In Elite Company
Since the start of his sophomore year (2011-12),
Doug McDermott
has averaged 23.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in 80 contests.
That makes him the only college player in the nation to average at least 23 points and seven rebounds per contest in that span.
In same time, only NBA guys to do so are Kevin Durant (28.2 & 8.0), LeBron James (26.7 & 7.8), Carmelo Anthony (25.9 & 7.0) and Kevin Love (24.1 & 13.6).
Home Sweet Home

Greg McDermott
, including a 30-2 record against non-conference foes.
Creighton is 48-1 in its last 49 regular-season home games vs. unranked opponents since the start of the 2007-08 campaign.
Milestone Watch
Austin Chatman
need two steals to reach 50 in his career.
Grant Gibbs
needs three assists to move into fifth place in Creighton history in assists, passing Tyler McKinney's 430.
Jahenns Manigat
needs four steals to reach 100 in his career.
Doug McDermott
needs 13 field goals made to reach 900 in his career.
Doug McDermott
needs 56 points for 2,500 in his career.
Where There's A Will
Will Artino
started Creighton's first seven games, but has shined since returning to the reserve role he was used in during his first three seasons on campus.
Artino averaged 5.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in his seven starts, but has averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest in two games off the bench, both wins.
Artino had a season-best 13 points off the bench at Long Beach State on Dec. 3, then snared a season-high seven rebounds in 11 minutes vs. Nebraska.
Wragge Time!
Ethan Wragge
had 15 points vs. San Diego State, then added 16 more vs. George Washington two days later, before wrapping up CU's trip to California with 15 points at Long Beach State two days later. It marked the first time in his career he'd posted back-to-back contests of 15 or more points, and made him the first Bluejay reserve with consecutive games of 15+ points since Cavel Witter on Dec. 22 & 29, 2009.
Wragge finished three games at the Wooden Legacy averaging 12.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocked shots. He tied for the Wooden Legacy lead with 11 three-point baskets, converting 47.8 percent of his 23 long-range attempts.
Wragge now owns four straight games of 15 points or more and has twice tied a career-high with nine rebounds in his past three games.

Deadly From Downtown
Through NCAA games of Dec. 8th, Creighton led the nation with 103 three-point baskets, and was second with 11.4 three-pointers per contest.
Creighton has made 11 or more three-pointers in all but one game (7 vs. George Washington), including a season-high 14 at Long Beach State on Dec. 3rd.
Creighton also ranks sixth nationally in three-point field goal percentage (.440).
Thirty Point Buck
Doug McDermott
owns 33 points or more in each of his last three home games. He scored 37 against UMKC (Nov. 11), 33 vs. Tulsa (Nov. 23) and 33 vs. Nebraska (Dec. 8).
McDermott's 33 points were the most by a Bluejay against Nebraska since Duan Cole had 35 points on Dec. 7, 1991.
In four home games this season, McDermott has played 124 minutes and scored 123 points.
McDermott has scored 30 or more points in 18 career games. By comparison, all other Creighton players since 1991-92 have combined for 17 games of 30+ points in CU's 705 games played.
Speaking of 30
According to available school records,
Doug McDermott
owns 18 of the 124 games in Creighton history with 30 points or more. Only Bob Portman (22) has more, with Bob Harstad (12) the only other player besides McDermott with 10 or more such contests.
In addition, McDermott's four games this season of 30 points or more are tied for eighth-most in school history. He already owns fourth and fifth place on that list.

33 x 2?
Since 1990, only two Creighton players have scored 30 points in consecutive games; Bob Harstad in 1990 and
Doug McDermott
(three times last year).
McDermott, who is coming off a 33-point game on Dec. 8 against Nebraska, is seeking to become the first Bluejay player with consecutive games of 33 points or more since Harstad on Dec. 6 & 8, 1989.
Comparing Offenses
Creighton has had one of the nation's most effective and most efficient offenses in the past three seasons.
With the nucleus from those teams still intact, we thought we'd take a second to compare the 2011-12 and 2012-13 teams to this year's squad through nine games:
Stat 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14

Senior Leaders
Creighton's seniors led the way in a Dec. 8 win over Nebraska.
The quartet of
Grant Gibbs
Jahenns Manigat
Doug McDermott
Ethan Wragge
combined for 67 points, 21 rebounds, 13 assists and five steals in CU's 82-67 win over its in-state rival. The four guys made 23-of-43 shots from the field, including 11-of-24 three-pointers, and was also perfect in 10 free throw attempts.
Experienced Starters
One reason for Creighton's success is its veteran line-up. Creighton's current line-up has a combined 22 years of college experience under their belt, including 20 seasons at Creighton.
Grant Gibbs
is a sixth-year senior who is in his fourth year with the Bluejay program. He has started every game the past three seasons and is on pace to challenge CU's record for career assists.
Ethan Wragge
is a fifth-year senior who medically redshirted after plantar fasciitis issues during his second year on campus. He is second in school history in three-pointers made.
Jahenns Manigat
Doug McDermott
are four-year seniors. McDermott has started every game of his career, while Manigat has started all but one of the last 97 games. McDermott already owns Creighton records for career points, field goals and three-point percentage.
According to Ken Pomeroy's advanced statistics, Creighton's line-up averages 2.41 years of experience, making the Bluejays the 15th-most veteran group nationally, and tops among the nation's BCS schools.
That's Why They're "Free" Throws
A pair of Bluejay seniors are quietly working on extended free throw streaks.
Jahenns Manigat
is 4-for-4 at the line this season after making his final 13 attempts last year, giving him a streak of 17 in a row.
Doug McDermott
made his final three attempts against George Washington on Dec. 1 before going a combined 13-for-13 in wins vs. Long Beach State and Nebraska, giving him a streak of 16 in a row. Earlier this year McDermott had a college-best streak of 28 straight snapped in CU's season-opening victory over Alcorn State.

ranks second nationally this season with 32.3 points per 40 minutes played.
McDermott led the same category last year with 29.3 points per 40 minutes, and was second as a sophomore at 28.7 points per 40 minutes.
A KenPom Delight?
Noted statistician Ken Pomeroy's website, KenPom.com has numerous ratings that break down team efficiencies. The site consistently ranks Creighton's offense among the nation's best.
Pomeroy's site (through Dec. 10) ranks Creighton with the seventh-best mark nationwide in "Adjusted Efficiency" at 117.6 points per 100 possessions, fifth in "Assists Per Field Goals Made" at 65.1 percent and seventh in "Effective Field Goal %" at 59.1 percent.
Rare Air
Doug McDermott
had 33 points and 15 rebounds in a Nov. 23 win vs. Tulsa, leading to some additional research on the senior All-American.
McDermott's 33/15 was the nation's only performance (through 11/25) of at least 30 points and 15 or more rebounds this season in a regulation game.
McDermott is the first Creighton player with at least 33 points and 15 rebounds since Bob Harstad's 33/17 on December 6, 1989 vs. Cleveland State.
Poll Position
Creighton finished last season ranked 22nd in the final Associated Press poll, and made its 2013-14 debut in the top-25 poll last week when it was No. 23rd. The Jays then climbed to a season-best 20th the week of Nov. 25th, but has since dropped out of the poll.
Creighton is 73-26 all-time when ranked in the AP poll.
Including this week's poll, Creighton has been ranked 30 times in 63 weeks of AP polls under
Greg McDermott
, and ranked between 26th-to-28th in seven other polls. The 30 weeks in the top-25 under McDermott is more than any coach in Bluejay history.

Quick Starts Key To Playing in Postseason
Including this year, Creighton has started off 3-0 (or better) in 13 of the last 15 seasons. Each of Creighton's last 14 3-0 starts have been culminated in a postseason tournament appearance at the end of the year.
This season marks the third straight year Creighton has opened 4-0, something last done from 2002-03 to 2004-05. The only other time CU started 4-0 in three straight years had come in a five-year stretch from 1916-17 to 1920-21.
Wragge Bombs Away
Ethan Wragge
has attempted 66 of his 69 shots this season from three-point range, sinking an incredible 34 of them (51.5 percent) behind the arc. He was 7-for-11 from deep in CU's 83-79 win at Saint Joseph's on Nov. 16, the most treys by a Bluejay in a game since Booker Woodfox had seven (also at Saint Joseph's) in 2008.
With four three-pointers vs. George Washington on Dec. 1, Wragge moved past Ryan Sears into second place in Creighton history for career trifectas. He now owns 258 career treys.
He also ranks sixth in CU history with 43.5 percent marksmanship from downtown.
McDermott, For The Win
Doug McDermott
drained his first career game-winner in a Nov. 16 victory at Saint Joseph's. With Creighton trailing by one and 6.9 seconds left, McDermott caught an inbounds pass, hit a fadeaway jumper, and was fouled. He converted the three-point play in CU's eventual 83-79 win.
Said McDermott after the game "I didn't know how to celebrate…I've never hit one before."
McDermott is now 7-for-9 from the field and 18-for-22 from the line in the last minute of games in the past two seasons.
Creighton had not won a game when trailing in the final minute of overtime since Feb. 21, 2012, when
Josh Jones
hit a game-winner to beat Evansville in the final 30 seconds of overtime. Creighton had also tied that same game as time expired on a
Gregory Echenique
tip-in to close regulation.
Creighton last won a road game when trailing in the final minute on Jan. 7, 2011, at Southern Illinois, taking the lead for good with 36 seconds left on two Darryl Ashford free throws.
Creighton last won a game away from home when trailing in the final five seconds on March 6, 2009, when Booker Woodfox hit a buzzer-beater to stun Wichita State in the MVC Tournament quarterfinals.
Martelli On McDermott
Even before
Doug McDermott
hit a three-point play to beat Saint Joseph's, Hawks coach Phil Martelli was overwhelmingly complimentary on the skills of
Doug McDermott
. Here's what he had to say about McDermott prior to the game:
"The country is gaga over these freshmen but McDermott's the best player in the country. Tell me who does more for their team. They can give the awards at the end of the year to the freshmen because of the media blitz, but that kid is a magnificent, magnificent player."
Big Deficits, Big Deal
Creighton overcame a 13-point deficit to win at Saint Joseph's on Nov. 16 before posting an 83-79 win. It was the 10th time in four seasons under
Greg McDermott
that the Jays have won a game its trailed by double-figures at some point, including six such comebacks away from home.
On the other hand, Creighton is 74-5 under McDermott when putting together a double-digit lead, including wins in 62 of the last 63 scenarios.

Just Like Viejas Arena?
Creighton's win at Saint Joseph's had some similarities to its road win at San Diego State two years ago.
In both games, Creighton faced an early double-digit deficit before cutting into the lead before half (17 at SDSU, 13 at SJU).
In both games, Creighton got big nights from
Ethan Wragge
(19 points at SDSU, 21 at SJU).
In both games, Creighton held on to a lead in the last 10 seconds.
In both games, Creighton was playing its first true road game of the season, and in front of a sellout crowd known as one of the toughest atmospheres in college basketball.
@McDermottAlert Has You Covered
Rather than clog up its other social media accounts with the many exploits of
Doug McDermott
, Creighton Athletics has created a Twitter account specific to him, that can be found at twitter.com/McDermottAlert.
It contains links to dozens of national profiles and stats on the senior forward, and owns more than 1,300 followers.
Chasing 3,000
In Major League Baseball, producing 3,000 career hits is something that's been done by just 24 Hall of Famers in history.
Doug McDermott
has a chance to become just the eighth Division I male in NCAA history to score 3,000 or more points if he can stay healthy and average roughly 23 points per game this season.
To help put McDermott's career in perspective, the chart on page six shows how many points McDermott owns and which famous ballplayer that is most comparable to. This season alone, McDermott has surpassed legends like Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ryne Sandberg, Mike Schmidt, Eddie Mathews, Kirby Puckett and Willie Stargell.
Jays Sign A Pair Of Recruits
A pair of high school basketball standouts have signed letters-of-intent to play at Creighton University. Leon Gilmore III and Ronnie Harrell will both be freshmen when they enroll in the fall of 2014 and have four years of eligibility.
Gilmore is a 6'7" wing from Manvel, Texas, who attends Manvel High School and plays for coach Greg Devers. As a high school junior, he helped his team to a 30-6 record by averaging 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game. Gilmore competes for the Houston Hoops AAU program.
Harrell is a 6'7" wing from Denver (Colo.) East High School, where he plays for Rudy Carey. As a junior he averaged 13.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game, helping the Angels reach the state title game. On the AAU circuit, Harrell plays for Billups Elite, which is supported by his cousin, NBA veteran Chauncey Billups.
20-20-20-20-20-20 Vision
Doug McDermott
opened his senior season with 20 points vs. Alcorn State, 37 points vs. UMKC, 20 points at Saint Joseph's, 33 points vs. Tulsa, 27 points vs. Arizona State and 30 points vs. San Diego State. In the process, he became the first Bluejay to start a season with at least five consecutive games of 20 or more points since Bob Portman opened with five straight games in 1968-69.
Use The Four's
Doug McDermott
converted a rare four-point play on Nov. 11 vs. UMKC, sinking a three-point shy while being fouled before making the subsequent free throw.
Isaiah Zierden
followed suit on Nov. 28 vs. Arizona State.
Greg McDermott
's four-year tenure at Creighton, the only previous players with a four-point play had been Kaleb Korver and
Ethan Wragge
, who had done it once each.
Crowd Control
Creighton's sellout crowd of 17,740 on Nov. 8 vs. Alcorn State was its largest ever for a home-opener. It was also Creighton's largest home crowd for any November game, and the ninth-largest home crowd in program history.
Hottest Ticket in Town
Creighton Basketball has proven to be a hot ticket in recent years, but the anticipation for this season has taken those levels up a notch.
Creighton sold more than 15,100 season tickets for the first time, a figure that doesn't factor in students. Last year's record was 13,739.
Creighton has also sold more than 2,100 all-session tickets for the BIG EAST Tournament already, the most by any league school since Connecticut in 2006.
When single-game tickets went on sale on Oct. 29, seven games sold out within an hour, including less than 20 minutes for games vs. Marquette, Georgetown, Nebraska, Seton Hall and Chicago State.
Nation's Best Offense?
You can make a case that Creighton boasted the nation's best offensive production last year.
Creighton was second in the country in field goal percentage (50.1) and three-point percentage (41.4), third in two-point field goal percentage (55.7), ninth in free-throw percentage (75.9) and 10th in three-pointers per game (8.5).
Below is where Creighton ranked nationally in the first three years of the

Ask The Experts
ESPN had 20 experts predict the 2013-14 season. Nine of them (Jay Bilas, Adrian Branch, Elena Bergeron, Dan Dakich, Jimmy Dykes, Myron Medcalf, Digger Phelps, Miles Simon and Dick Vitale) predicted
Doug McDermott
would be National Player of the Year.

Record Watch
With seven field goals on Nov. 8,
Doug McDermott
took over sole possession of first place on Creighton's all-time field goals made list. He now owns 887 in his career. He had entered the season tied with Chad Gallagher (1987-91) for the school-record with 811.
McDermott also made four free throws vs. Alcorn State, passing MLB Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson for third in CU history, and now owns 468.
Preseason Acclaim
Doug McDermott
has garnered a ton of preseason hype you'd expect from a returning two-time consensus First Team All-American.
In addition to being named the Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year, McDermott has also been named a Preseason First Team All-American by the Associated Press, USA Today, Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, CBSSports.com, NBCSports.com and Sporting News.
McDermott is also one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, one of 15 men named to the Oscar Robertson Trophy Watch List, and one of 50 players on the preseason watch list for the John R. Wooden Award.
Going For 20, Again
Creighton has won 20 or more games in 14 of the last 15 seasons, a feat that puts the Jays among an exclusive group, nationally.
Just five schools nationally have had 20 or more wins each of the last 15 years: Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas and Syracuse.
Creighton is one of four schools with 20 or more wins in exactly 14 of the past 15 years. That list consists of Creighton, Kent State, Kentucky and Utah State.
That's better than traditional powers Arizona, Connecticut and Memphis (13 each) and also ahead of Michigan State, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin (12 each).
10 Conference Wins x 17
Last season's Creighton team won 10 or more league games for a 17th consecutive season.
On a national basis, the only other current school with at least 17 straight years of 10 or more league wins is Kansas (19).
Each of the last 17 seasons has seen the team finish fourth place or better in the league standings as well, though all of those took place in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Postseason x 16
Creighton has made the postseason in 16 consecutive seasons. The only eight schools to make the postseason in each of the last 16 years are Creighton, Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State and Syracuse.
Postseason Win Streak
Thanks to an NCAA Tournament win over Cincinnati last spring, the Creighton men's basketball team has now won a postseason game in a school-record six straight seasons. The previous mark was three in a row from 1962-64.
The following five programs are the only ones that have won a postseason game in six straight seasons, including 2012-13: Creighton, Kansas, North Carolina, Purdue and Syracuse.
Preseason BIG EAST Poll
Creighton was picked to finish third in its first season as BIG EAST Conference members according to a preseason poll of league coaches. Marquette was picked first with 74 points and five first-place votes, while Georgetown (70, 2) was also selected ahead of the Bluejays (61, 1). Rounding out the top half were Villanova (58) and St. John's (56, 2).
Creighton forward
Doug McDermott
was named preseason BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year by the coaches.
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Senior forward
Doug McDermott
served as a captain for Team USA last summer at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Playing under the direction of coaches Bob McKillop (Davidson), John Beilein (Michigan) and Frank Martin (South Carolina), McDermott led the team in scoring (14.1 ppg.), field goals (39), three-pointers (18), free throws (17), free-throw percentage (.895) and minutes (23.8) as the team went 6-2 in eight games.
On his way back from Russia, McDermott was invited to the USA Basketball Men's National Team Mini-Camp along with 28 of the NBA's rising stars and fellow collegian Marcus Smart (Oklahoma State), where he received rave reviews.
Army of Iowans
Every Creighton team since 1988-89 has had at least one Iowa native, and this season is no exception.
Creighton has five players from Iowa on this season's team, continuing a long trend of relying on some of the Hawkeye State's top preps. CU's Iowans this season includes seniors
Grant Gibbs
(Marion) and
Doug McDermott
(Ames), junior
Will Artino
(Waukee), sophomore
Alex Olsen
(Council Bluffs) and freshman
John Burns
Other past notable Iowans include Kyle Korver (Pella), Ryan Sears (Ankeny), Brody Deren (Harlan), Tyler McKinney (Urbandale) and Nate Funk (Sioux City).
Creighton has played at least one Iowa native in 630 straight games. That streak dates to a Feb. 5, 1994 win against Wichita State.
Long-Distance Streak Alive
Creighton has made at least one three-pointer in 654 straight games since a 59-53 loss at Illinois State on Feb. 20, 1993.
CenturyLink Center Omaha Success
Creighton has played 174 regular and postseason contests at CenturyLink Center Omaha all-time in 11 seasons at the facility.
The Bluejays own an 149-25 (.856) record all-time at the facility, and have never lost there on a Thursday (7-0) or Friday (7-0).
Creighton has outscored its opponents 13,151-11,167 in games at CenturyLink Center Omaha, an average margin of 11.4 points per game. Creighton has led wire-to-wire 42 different times, including five times last season and the Nebraska game this year.
Big Margin Leads To Big Things
Creighton's 107-61 win on Nov. 8 vs. Alcorn State was its highest point total in a season-opener ever, one point more than the 2002-03 team that opened with a 106-50 win over Texas-Arlington. The 2002-03 team went on to be 29-5.
Eight of Creighton's 18 all-time NCAA Tournament teams have scored 90 or more points in their season-opener.
Here's a look at Creighton's last six teams to score 90 or more in a season-opener.

Everybody's All-American
Doug McDermott
hauled in All-America honors on a regular basis last year.
He was named a First Team All-American by the Associated Press, NABC, USBWA, Basketball Times, CBSSports.com and ESPN.com, and a second-team selection by The Sporting News. He was also named to the 10-man John R. Wooden Award All-America team.
Prior to McDermott, the only other player honored by the USBWA with All-America status had been second-team selection Kyle Korver in 2003, and the only prior NABC selections from Creighton had been second-teamer Paul Silas (1964) and third-team selections Benoit Benjamin (1985) and Korver (2003).
Oscar, Bird, Doug
Doug McDermott
set a Creighton (and MVC) record for points by a freshman with 581 in 2010-11.
As a sophomore McDermott had 801 points, joining Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird as the only sophomores in MVC history with at least 800 points in a season.
Last year McDermott became the first player in MVC history to reach 2,000 career points as a junior, and joined Robertson and Bird as the only players in league history to reach 2,000 points in less than three seasons of work.
Below is a list of the most prolific scorers in MVC history, as well as the top single-season scorers in Creighton history (all classes):

Scoring In Numbers
Doug McDermott
owned 834 points in 36 games last year, an average of 23.2 per contest that ranked him second nationally in scoring.
McDermott's 23.2 points per game ranked fourth-most in CU single-season history and were the most since Bob Portman averaged 26.2 points per game in 1968-69.
Portman, who finished fifth nationally in scoring in 1967-68 (29.5 ppg.), was the only previous Bluejay to ever rank in the top-10 of the year-end scoring leaders, before McDermott did it each of the past two seasons (3rd in 2011-12, 2nd last year).
McDermott's 23.2 points per game were the most by a MVC player since Bradley's Curtis Stuckey (25.1 ppg.) in 1990-91.
Father/Son Duos
According to the website CollegeHoopedia.com,
Doug McDermott
is just the sixth man in NCAA history to be named conference player of the year while playing for his father.
Joining them on that elite list are Dick/Mark Acres (Oral Roberts), Dick/Tony Bennett (UW Green Bay), Homer/Bryce Drew (Valparaiso), Press/Pete Maravich (LSU) and Clifford/C.J. Reed (Bethune-Cookman).
Below is a list compiled by ESPN.com of most points scored by a guy playing for his dad:

Repeat All-American
Doug McDermott
joined some elite company by being named a First Team All-American by the USBWA, Associated Press and the NABC for a second consecutive season last spring.
He is the 70th player to repeat the honor from the USBWA, 55th from the NABC, and 51st in the history of the Associated Press.
If McDermott is named First Team All-American by the AP this year, he'll become the first three-time first team selection since Patrick Ewing and Wayman Tisdale from 1983-85.
Not Half Bad
Doug McDermott
's highest scoring half of his career has been 31 points, done as a sophomore in the second half at Bradley when he scored a career-best 44 points.
McDermott has scored 15 points or more in a half 51 times during his career, and Creighton is 42-3 in those contests (six times he's scored 15 or more in both halves).
McDermott owns 10 halves in his career with 20 or more points, and just six scoreless halves.
The 800 Club
Doug McDermott
led the nation with 834 points last season after owning a league-high (and second-most nationally) 801 as a sophomore.
McDermott joined Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird as the third player in MVC history with multiple 800-point seasons.
Nationwide, McDermott was the first player with consecutive seasons of 800 points or more since Stephen Curry (Davidson) and Lester Hudson (Tennessee-Martin) in both 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Supporting Cast
Doug McDermott
was Creighton's only player to average in double-figures last year, but he had lots of support to help lead the Jays to 28 wins.
Creighton was 11-0 when
Ethan Wragge
scored in double-figures last year. CU is 32-3 under
Greg McDermott
when Wragge shoots 50 percent from three-point range, and 22-3 under McDermott when Wragge scores in double-figures.
Creighton was 8-1 when
Austin Chatman
scored in double-figures last year.
Creighton was 6-2 when
Jahenns Manigat
scored in double-figures last year. CU is now 20-1 all-time when Manigat makes three or more 3-pointers, including 18 straight wins, and the Jays are 22-2 (with 20 straight wins) when Manigat shoots better than 50 percent from 3-point range.
Creighton is 14-0 all-time when
Avery Dingman
makes multiple three-pointers.
Creighton is 37-3 all-time when
Will Artino
(64.6 percent last year) misses a field goal attempt.
Rare Bird
According to research from STATS Inc., only two men since 1996-97 have compiled at least 2,100 points, 850 rebounds and 150 three-pointers in their career. That list consists of Creighton senior
Doug McDermott
and former Duke national champion Kyle Singler.

Doug McDermott
led the nation in 2011-12 with 307 field goals made, and his 284 buckets last year once again led the nation.
Prior to McDermott, no player had led the country in field goals made in back-to-back seasons since at least 1995-96.
One area that makes McDermott so unique is his ability to use his off (left) hand, and to use the backboard, as seen below:

Walk-On Earns Rare Start
It's not often that a team starts a walk-on, but
Doug McDermott
isn't your ordinary walk-on, either. McDermott's assignment vs. Alcorn State made him the first Creighton player to start while owning walk-on status since Nick Bahe on Nov. 18, 2006.
Full House
Last year's Creighton team ranked sixth nationally in average home attendance, averaging 17,155 fans per game. It's the seventh straight season that CU has been among the nation's top 25 in average home attendance, and set an MVC average home attendance record. The figure ranked ahead of 14 NBA teams (76ers, Rockets, Grizzlies, Wizards, Timberwolves, Cavaliers, Suns, Bobcats, Pacers, Hawks, Bucks, Pistons, Pelicans, Kings).
Creighton also ranked sixth nationally in men's soccer attendance and 10th in baseball attendance, the nation's only school in the top-10 of those three sports.
This year's Creighton team is averaging 17,552 through four home dates.

Rasmussen Named to MBB Committee
Creighton Athletic Director
Bruce Rasmussen
began a five-year term on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee on September 1st.
He is the only newcomer to the committee for the 2013-14 academic year, replacing last year's chair, Mike Bobinski.
Championship Duo, Men & Women
Creighton was one of seven schools that won a regular-season conference title in both men's and women's basketball last year.
That elite group consists of Montana (Big Sky), Akron (Mid-American), Texas Southern (Southwestern Athletic), South Dakota State (Summit), Middle Tennessee (Sun Belt), Gonzaga (West Coast) and Creighton (Missouri Valley).
Pizza Pie, Piled High = Wins
Thanks to a promotion with Omaha-based Godfather's Pizza, Creighton season ticket-holders can get a free mini pizza any time the Jays score 75 points at home.
History has proven that when the team earns the fans pizza, it often leads to a victory as well.
The first three years of CenturyLink Center Omaha (2003-06), Creighton needed 70 points to earn its fans free pizza, and the Jays went 27-3 when reaching that threshold, closing out that run with 12 straight wins.
Since upping the standard to 75 points prior to the 2006-07 campaign, Creighton is a perfect 71-0 when scoring 75 points or more at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
In other words, Creighton is a perfect 83-0 in CenturyLink Center Omaha since Feb. 6, 2005 when scoring enough points to earn its fans some free pizza.
Good As Gold
Greg McDermott
took over three years ago, Creighton is averaging 79.08 points per home game (4,666 points in 59 home games).
That's a vital number since Creighton is 97-0 at home (68-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 78 points or more and 81-0 at home (54-0 at CenturyLink Center Omaha) when scoring 80 points or more at home dating to a 92-83 loss to Southern Illinois on Feb. 19, 2000.
Last Season Recap
Creighton went 28-8 and reached the third round of the MVC Tournament last season. Creighton was ranked in the Associated Press top-25 in 16-of-20 weeks and finished 22nd in the year-end poll.
Doug McDermott
ranked second nationally in scoring (23.2), breaking his own school-record with 834 points. He repeated as a consensus First Team All-American while also sweeping MVC Player of the Year and MVC Tournament MVP honors for a second straight winter.
Gregory Echenique
(9.7 ppg., 6.6 rpg.) and
Grant Gibbs
(8.5 ppg., 5.8 apg.) were named Honorable-Mention All-Valley, while

The Jays ranked second nationally in field goal percentage (.501) and three-point percentage (.414), fourth in assists (16.9), sixth in home attendance (17,155) and ninth in free throw percentage (.759).
Creighton defeated Wichita State in the regular-season finale to claim the outright MVC title before winning its league-record 12th Valley Tournament title to clinch an NCAA bid with another win over the Shockers. At the NCAA's, Creighton topped Cincinnati 67-63 before falling to No. 6 Duke in the third round.
Shuttle Service Provided Again
Chief Bus will provide complimentary shuttle service from the Creighton University campus to CenturyLink Center Omaha for all men's basketball home games this season. The service is available to all fans, not just Creighton students.
The shuttle will start 75 minutes before tip-off and shuttles will continue to operate the route during the game. The three designated stops for pick-up around the CU campus are: 24th & California (nearside/southbound); 20th & Cass (nearside/eastbound) and at Billy Blues Alumni Grill (outside the Mike & Josie Harper Center in the turnaround which is on the east side of the building).
The shuttle will then go eastbound on Capitol Avenue and then go north up 10th Street for drop-off at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance. The route is designed for each shuttle driver to make a roundtrip every 15 minutes.
Following the game's conclusion, the shuttle will start at the CenturyLink Center Omaha convention center entrance on 10th Street and loop the original route with the first of three stops at 24th & California Streets.

Skipping school in protest: What are the consequences?
CREATED Jan 23, 2012
Reporter: Kevin Keen
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Hundreds of students ditch the classroom to create one of their own in protest over the slashing of TUSD's Mexican-American studies program. What will happen to them?
Just over a week ago, dozens of Cholla High students walked out and marched to the school district's headquarters. Monday, their numbers grew, as students from Pueblo, Tucson High and Wakefield Middle School joined them in another walkout.
"We demand the restoration of Mexican-American studies curriculum with no compromises," one female student said to the crowd with a megaphone.
They settled on the building's lawn, delivering their demands and teaching each other lessons in Mexican culture and history.
No district administrator was available Monday afternoon to talk about the consequences the students will face skipping school, but a spokeswoman says a student with unexcused absence serves a Saturday detention.
"It's an unexcused absence unless their parents write them a note and tell them that it's excused," school board member Adelita Grijalva told the crowd. "But, otherwise, it's unexcused absence."
Grijalva was the only district board member to vote against scrapping the program. She spoke to the students and addressed concerns they were putting their education on hold to protest.
"I don't believe that they're not getting an education today," she told KGUN9 News and the crowd. "I believe that this is an education that they can't get in class. While I'm not advocating for them to be out of school--every day I want them to be in school--the fact is that they're trying to give us a message."
Fellow board member Michael Hicks takes aim at that. "You want your education, but you're leaving school and you're not getting educated when you're not in school," Hicks said, referring to the students.
Hicks adds there consequences for the district when students walk out: "Parents bring their kids to the school and expect their kids to be safe," he said, citing safety and security concerns. "We're supposed to have a safe environment for these kids and they leave school--we have no real control over that."
Board member Dr. Mark Stegeman said the district also stands to lose state funding, as the student attendance average decreases with each absence. The state says any reduction would be minimal.
"The Department of Education, for school funding purposes, looks at funding over a 100-day period so one particular day in 100 days isn't going to have a dramatic impact on whether the district's funding is going to go up or down," said department spokesman Andrew LeFevre.
Students plan to take the protest further by skipping school Tuesday to teach themselves more lessons in Mexican-American studies with family.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min
TOTAL TIME: 4 1/2 hr
IngredientsFor meringues
- 4 large egg whites (reserve yolks for pastry cream), at room temperature for 30 minutes
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup superfine granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon confectioners sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
- 8 to 10 kiwifruit (1 1/2 lb), peeled and each cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate)
- Special equipment: parchment paper
Make meringue:
Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
Beat egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until whites are foamy, then add cream of tartar and salt. Continue beating until whites hold soft peaks. Add 1/2 cup superfine sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, then increase mixer speed to high and continue to beat until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks, about 5 minutes. Fold in remaining 1/2 cup superfine sugar gently but thoroughly.
With back of a spoon, spread meringue into 10 (4-inch) rounds, 5 on each lined baking sheet. Form a 3-inch-wide depression in center of each round (shape and smooth exterior side of each round with a butter knife if desired).
Using a fine-mesh sieve, lightly dust confectioners sugar evenly over meringues. Bake, with oven door propped open about 1/2 inch with handle of a wooden spoon, until meringue is crisp, about 2 1/2 hours. Turn oven off and let meringues stand in oven, with door propped open, until dry, at least 1 hour. Carefully peel off parchment.
Make pastry cream:
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a small bowl. Whisk together yolks in a medium bowl, then whisk in flour mixture until smooth.
Bring milk just to a boil with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk half of milk mixture into egg mixture. Pour custard back into pan, whisking, and bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly and vigorously, then boil, whisking, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, force cream through a medium-mesh sieve into a shallow bowl. Chill pastry cream, its surface covered with wax paper, 2 hours.
Whisk heavy cream vigorously in a medium bowl until it just holds stiff peaks. Whisk pastry cream briefly to loosen, then, using spatula, gently fold in whipped cream. Chill, covered, 30 minutes.
Assemble pies just before serving:
Fill each meringue shell with about 3 tablespoons pastry cream and smooth top of filling with back of a spoon.
Divide kiwis evenly among shells, then sprinkle pomegranate seeds over tops.
Cooks' notes:
Meringues are best baked on a dry day; humidity may cause them to be sticky.
Baked meringues can be left to dry in turned-off oven up to 12 hours.
Meringues can be baked 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
Pastry cream without whipped cream can be chilled up to 1 day. Whipped cream can be folded into pastry cream up to 4 hours ahead; keep chilled, covered.
Kiwis can be cut 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
Pomegranate seeds keep, covered and chilled, 3 days.

Featuring an air bladder that wraps around the top of the midfoot, the ZPump Fusion allows you to customize the fit of your running shoes every time you lace them up. Simply press The Pump as many times as you need, inflating the bladder until you reach peak comfort and lockdown level. To deflate, simple release air by pressing on the rear button.
Further upping the ZPump Fusion's performance factor is the smooth, seamless Fusion Sleeve upper. It provides a breathable compression fit that fuses the Pump midsole to your foot, holding everything in place while keeping you dry, fresh, and comfortable.
Your custom ride wouldn't be complete without high-speed handling. That's why the outsole of the ZPump Fusion is made with a ZRated design. Inspired by high-performance racing tires, this outsole is built to help you handle curves at top speed, keeping you agile enough to dodge puddles and other walkers and runners, as well as change directions at the drop of a hat, or cross the finish well ahead of your competition.
With sports cars laced to your feet and your very own personalized air bags, there's nothing you can't handle!

My ridiculously cool neighbor is watching my kids this summer and asked them to come up with a "Blue Sky List." Huh?
A Blue Sky List, I found out, is all the things you'd like to do in a summer. Doesn't that sound divine? And 10X better than a to-do or bucket list?
So, my daughter came up with …
1. nona's house (Nona is my neighbor's mom and has a pool. Love Nona.)
2. bowling
3. look at Bull Dogs (Fiberglass bull dogs painted by local artists for auction at end of summer. They're pretty cool.)
4. ice cream
5. ride bikes
6. play outside
7. make forts
8. tag
9. movies on rainy days
10. nelson lake (A favorite spot for hikes)
11. go out for lunch
12. put put golf
13. art
14. sleep overs
15. climb trees
16. bike ride
And my son came up with …
1. hockey
2. stick and puck (More hockey. Ouch on the pocketbook.)
3. baseball
4. golf
5. football
6. tag
7. play at pool
8. jump on the tramp (Next-door neighbors have a trampoline that's been a bit hit)
9. have a good summer
10. eating contest
11. have sleepovers
12. play minute to win it
13. mini golf
14. ride bikes
15. hang out
What's cool about these lists is that they're pretty similar to what I would have come up with in the late 1970s when I was 10. (I didn't know about "Minute to Win It" or have a neighbor with a pool or trampoline, so they've one-upped me there.)
All this list-making got me thinking Blue Sky. Here's what I've got on my summer radar:
1. Go to our local outdoor French Market
2. Jump on a train to Chicago with my kids/husband for cultural events, and drag them all to Armitage Ave. boutiques.
3. Walk to our downtown ice cream shop and library, but not in that order
4. Eat Salt Water Taffy (the more chocolate pieces the better)
5. Make S'mores over a campfire, but try out different candy bars, like Ghirardelli, Cadbury, or Ritter Sport bars (maybe even take it a step further and try out different marshmallows, like StrawMallows or chocolate-bottomed Peeps)
6. Swiming, anywhere
7. Write about candy, on my front porch
I'm a simpleton, so if I achieve at least five of these items, I'm calling Summer 2011 bombdiggity.
What's on your Blue Sky List?

Illustration Alumnus Ethan Long's Book "Up, Tall and High!" Named as 2013 Geisel Award Medal Winner
Feb. 20, 2013 - Written and illustrated by Ringling College alumnus Ethan Long ('91, Illustration), the children's book Up, Tall and High! has been named the 2013 Medal Winner of the (Theodor Seuss) Geisel Award.
"Using few words, Ethan Long has created a book that children will enjoy on multiple levels. The humorous drawings and interactive story will have children raising flaps and reading their first words with confidence and delight," said Geisel Award Committee Chair Carla D. Morris.
In Up, Tall and High!, "a bevy of birds perform a play in three acts, while teaching the concepts of up, tall and high. The large font, word repetition, occasional rhyming and simple, but clever illustrations support the very beginning reader's effort to read independently. Children will delight in reading additional words hidden beneath thick flaps."
The book is published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, a division of Penguin Young Readers Group.

The Daily Show gives Michael Hicks the hotfoot. KGUN9 viewers weigh in.
Daily Show correspondent Al Madrigal struggles, unsuccessfully, to keep a straight face during the Hicks interview. (Frame grab courtesy of Comedy Central)
Notes by: Forrest Carr, KGUN9 News Director
"Face it. You screwed up. You trusted us."
If the Daily Show were to explain itself to TUSD Board member Michael Hicks, it could use those (paraphrased) words from that great American work of cinematic art, "Animal House" -- the words that Otter used to explain to Flounder what had happened to his formerly pristine 1963 Lincoln.
Hicks said he expected the show to conduct a "real" interview. By that, presumably he meant that he expected correspondent Al Madrigal to conduct himself with the same sense of courtesy, professionalism and objectivity that Hicks has come to expect from Tucson's mainstream media.
But that is not what The Daily Show does. Skewering politicians isn't just an occasional sideline or afterthought for the show. Mercilessly torturing public figures is the show's sole purpose in life. Politicians -- especially conservative ones -- are to The Daily Show what chickens are to Tyson Foods. For Hicks, getting out of Comedy Central's processing plant alive just wasn't in the cards.
The resulting interview was the kind of thing you watch with horrified fascination from between the fingers of your hand clasped firmly over your face. OMG. Hicks really said that? And that? And THAT?
In point of fact -- no, Hicks now insists, he didn't. He claims the program producers played rascally, bushwhacking, snake-in-the-grass low-down dirty tricks on him to make it sound like he was saying things that he didn't say.
Well, yeah. Without a doubt, some of that went on. See above. But does that explain it all away?
Hicks has said the interview lasted three and a half hours. By contrast, a local TV crew would spend ten to 15 minutes, tops, conducting an interview for a typical news story. Good for him that it took the Daily Show producers nearly half a work day to get material from Hicks that they could use.
Of course, the point is, they did get the material, and they got it from Hicks. What they proceeded to do with it wasn't just predictable, it was inevitable.
So why, oh, why did Hicks expect anything different?
In answer to that question, Hicks told conservative radio talk guy Jon Justice this week, "I was naive."
The judges give that statement a perfect 10 in the contest to name this week's Understatement of the Century.
In his defense, though, it has to be pointed out that among local elected officials, Hicks is one of the most accessible. He is a frequent flier on KGUN9's newscasts, almost always agreeing to interview requests and working diligently to fit them into his schedule (the aftermath of his debacle this week on national TV being a rare exception). And that is a good thing, to be commended. Elected officials should be responsive to the public.
But agreeing to go on Comedy Central? Man.
Now that Hicks' train is scattered, steaming and smoldering, in the gorge, are his enemies rolling on the floor, convulsed with paroxysms of mirth and glee? Are his friends willing to forgive him? Are people faulting Hicks? Or do they blame those merry pranksters at Comedy Central who gave him -- and by extension, all of Tucson - a wedgie?
Those questions made KGUN9's coverage of this incident the top-commented issue of the week. Below is a sampling of what some of you had to say.
"Todd DebtFree" -- "Make 'em Laugh. We all have done enough crying. Time to be less serious and more jovial. No problem. This is NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE FOR DATA. It is a great source of FUN though. We can afford a few laughs at our expense."
"RenegadeFL" -- "I love it when they claim they were 'taken out of context." A true classic. Then he says he 'didn't know what the Daily Show is,' which means he is completely out of touch with mainstream America or he is lying. What a yahoo!"
Roy Warden - "Mr. Hicks: 'Naive?' How about 'unprepared.' Call former Ethnic Studies teacher John Ward. He knows the score. Next time, do your homework before you run your mouth."
"2sunres" -- "So Hicks wanted his 15 minutes of fame. He got it! So stupid people do serve on our school boards. Considering Hicks didn't even read the contract he signed, he deserves what comes his way as a result of his interview. Way to go J. Stewart!"
Patricia Kromrei (via Facebook) -- "People needs to stop blaming everyone else for this, because he had the right not to answer those questions or even go on the show!"
Steven Michael (via Facebook) -- "A shame he wasn't in on the joke. But regarding the whole taking out of context thing, there are a lot of people who post on KGUN's facebook who seem to take things out of context to fit their agenda. They're the ones who won't accept that this interview was cut and edited for the sake of humor."
Julie Rubio (via Facebook) -- "I thought it was hilarious!! All the editing in the world can't hide his true feelings and the WORDS THAT CAME FROM HIS MOUTH!! 'Sometimes the teachers would give the students burritos.' Dumbest comment ever."
Chyna-Mae Rose Wilson (via Facebook): "Where's the accountability? He said those things!"
Jan Allen (via Facebook): "OK, so he is a TUSD board member right? His not knowing anything about the Daily Show really concerns me! I would think that a board member should be knowledgeable mentally as well as socially and politically. The students at the schools he works for could probably quote John Stewart off the top of their heads. Besides, The Daily Show has been around for a long time. This is just another example of people sticking their heads in the ground and listening and watching and reading things that only agree with their opinions. Here's a hint!! How will you ever know what people of other political and religious opinions think and believe if you don't do some REAL research! JUST SAYIN!"
Jeanne McQuillan (via Facebook): "Michael Hicks was exposed for what he is: ignorant and racist. He is very scary as he doesn't have a clue. Was he elected? Appointed? How can I participate in recall?"
Danny Michael: "Big freakin deal, he made a slip of the tongue while on camera. Like you're so perfect. May I direct you to YOUR President who was recently caught on a live mic making a deal with the Russians."
Cassandra De La Serna: "That's not a slip that's a man in charge of a school district, in charge of educating students, not knowing his BASIC civil rights history. Maybe he should of taken a class, could of learned a thing or two. Keep defending him. But if I were a parent with a student there I would be concerned."
Rene Anderson (via Facebook): "I think if this guy is making decisions about ANYONEs education we are in big trouble. He is not qualified for his job."
Lucinda Carlino: "The only joke is the Mexican American Studies class being listed as not being racist toward whites!"

|Spruce Pine Benefit tonight
|Wednesday, 15 August 2007 20:00
Earlier this month, downtown Spruce Pine was consumed
by an alleged arson.
Tonight, locals are helping business owners- and encourage you to do the same. A benefit fundraiser with music and dancing is being held tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Carolina Theatre in Spruce Pine. Money raised goes to help the victims of the blaze that destroyed several businesses, a church, and some apartments. A silent auction and raffle, as well as a $10 admission cost, will help businessmen get back on their feet. For more information, call 828-766-7573. Another way to help is by making a donation to the Spruce Pine Fire Victims Fund. Mail donations to box 1056, Spruce Pine.

"The Mystery of Edwin Drood," a unique musical where the audience chooses the ending, is now playing on Broadway. Tickets to performances through March 3, including weekends, are now discounted by as much as 35%.
The Wall Street Journal says, "for sheer fun, this show is hard to top." Choose from these seating levels at Studio 54, located in the heart of Times Square:
In Roundabout Theatre Company's production of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," actors mount a staging of Charles Dickens' unfinished novel. One by one, everyone becomes a murder suspect, and each performance ends differently depending on who the audience convicts. The cast of Broadway veterans includes Tony winner Chita Rivera. During its last stint on Broadway, the show won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score.
Travelzoo Tip: Attend a performance during Broadway Week (Jan. 22 - Feb. 7) and get two tickets for the price of one. Click the link below and use code BWAYWEEK.

The goal of this program is to foster optics and photonics in developing nations by increasing interaction between OSA and the optics communities in these areas.
OSA's International Council awards approximately six (6) grants each year to OSA Fellows visiting and lecturing in developing nations. View a list of eligible nations.
Grants typically range from $1,000 - $2,000 USD and are intended to help defray travel costs. It is expected that the host organization(s) will cover local expenses.
Applicants are encouraged to include a wide range of activities in their itineraries. Generally, these grants will not be awarded to support international conference attendance. Letters from host organizations should be submitted with your application.
Successful applicants will be asked to serve as "OSA Ambassadors" during their trip. A trip report must be submitted within 30 days of an approved visit (a report template will be provided). Fellows may also be asked to submit a short article for Optics and Photonics News (OPN).
The International Council will evaluate applications based on several factors including: the value to OSA, alignment with OSA's strategic goals, value to local community, trip duration and similarity to recent trips (view a list of recent Fellow Lecturer Trips). Currently, priority is given to trips to Brazil, China, India, Russia, and South Africa.
Please use the form below to submit your application. Questions should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

POTSDAM The towns first property revaluation in five years is nearing completion, and many property owners are not happy with what they have seen so far.
Property owners received their change of assessment notices over the weekend.
On average, residential property assessments went up 13 percent, to bring their values in line with the states equalization rate.
Some people were overassessed, some people were under assessed, town assessor James P. Snyder said.
Many owners are displeased with the change.
We dont agree with these overly large increases, said Tracey Haggett-Sloan, president of the Town of Potsdam Taxpayers Association.
My home assessment went up 19 percent, and the vacant lot next door went up 54 percent, she said, adding that she has made no improvements to either property.
At some point it just doesnt make sense. Your property is depreciating, she said.
Mr. Snyder visited all 5,500 Potsdam properties over the last eight months to gather the information he needed for the reassessment. He said he understands why people are upset, but hopes they will understand the process was fair.
Trust me, Im not out to get anybody, he said.
Those who feel their assessment is inaccurate or unfair will be able to schedule a 15-minute meeting with Mr. Snyder from Monday to April 26. Those who do will be able to argue why their assessment should be lowered.
The tentative assessment roll will be submitted on May 1. At that point, Mr. Snyder will no longer have any say over what happens. Those who still wish to challenge an assessment will have to take it before the towns Board of Assessment Review on May 28.
The roll will take effect on July 1. Anybody who wishes to challenge it at that point will have to take their case to court.
Francis H. Trombly, of Norwood, said he might have to do just that. The property where he lives nearly doubled in assessed value, from $172,000 to $327,200.
Theyre just unbelievable, he said. With this much here it would be worth going to court, I guess. I havent talked to anybody about it yet.
Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan said the revaluation was done fairly.
We know that James has been following the rules and the dictates he gets from the state, she said. People are never happy when a revaluation comes and their assessment goes up, but Im confident in two things. One, that Mr. Snyder did the best he can and two, that people have plenty of chances to make their case.
Higher assessments do not automatically mean higher taxes, Mr. Snyder said. If everyones assessment goes up, the burden will be spread evenly among all. But those whose rates go up by more than average will end up footing more of the bill.
Some property owners upset by the weekend announcement plan on attending Tuesdays town board meeting at 7:30 p.m. to voice their concerns, according to Ms. Haggett-Sloan.
