Standard step pads add visual appeal and maximize foot grip. Available in polished stainless steel or black powder coated carbon steel.
- No cutting or welding required for installation
- 5.5-inch wide running boards give maximum area for stepping in and out
- Threaded stepping surface adds visual appeal and increases foot grip
- Comes with everything required for installation, including instructions
- T304 polished stainless steel features a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty
- Black powder coated carbon steel features a 10-year manufacturer's warranty
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
Romik's Running Board Side Steps are designed with a clean, uncluttered modern appearance that blends well visually with any vehicle. Their wide flat surface makes climbing in and out of your vehicle easy – something that will be appreciated by all your passengers whether they are small children or workmen on the job site. Romik is committed to excellence and will always use only the highest quality materials available. If maximum strength is what you're looking for, Romik's black powder-coated offerings feature carbon steel construction with a 10-year limited warranty. Produced with higher carbon content, carbon steel is harder than typical stainless steel and extremely resistant to bending or denting.
The best knives are made from carbon steel, and it's used in a wide variety of heavy-duty industrial applications such as shipbuilding, electrical power plants, and pipeline construction. Or if you prefer the look of polished stainless steel, Romik uses only aircraft-grade T304 stainless steel with precision-fitted joints and hidden welds to ensure enduring strength and seamless appearance. While there are many more economical grades of stainless steel, none are as resistant to corrosion, rust, and pitting as T304 grade, and Romik stands behind their stainless steel with a limited lifetime warranty. No stainless steel products leave Romik's factory until their industry-best finish is hand polished to perfection and they can pass rigorous quality control checks. Romik Running Board Side Steps come with everything required for installation, including detailed instructions. These running boards also feature pre-drilled holes to allow installation of Romik's add-on second step (sold separately), should you decide to add one down the road.456.50 522.50

Direction need to clearly specify which spacer plates go where. The guilty of the stainless steel bolts need to be better. I recommend a Teflon based lube when putting them together.

Each year the best cross country runners from high schools around the state converge on Sugar House Park in Salt Lake for the annual state cross country meet. This year that event took place on Oct. 18 and the Carbon boys Cross Country team participated with seven runners.
There were 114 runners in the 3A division, where the Carbon boys competed. In addition there were hundreds more on the course because the other four divisions in the state participate at the same time.
Carbon's Paul Goodrich was right in the pack, finishing 11th. He was only one second behind the 10th place finisher and 8 seconds out of fifth place. His time was a respectable 16:51.9.
The Carbon team took 14th place overall. Other Carbon runners, in the order that they finished, were Kent Olsen, Travis Hepworth, Jared Richens, Beau Morley, Andrew Bates and Brett Wells.
Goodrich was also selected for the Utah High School Activities Association Academic All-State Cross Country Team. He maintains a 3.98 GPA in his studies at Carbon and has been a leader on the team since his days as a freshman.

'There's a lot of magic in the analog practices'
EUGENE, Ore. -- As she looks through the ground-glass view screen of her Mamiya C220 camera, its twin lenses aimed at her subject, she knows she has the shot, although she won't quite know how the picture will turn out until it gets developed.
Recent University of Oregon graduate Katey Finley is not your regular recreational photographer. Combining old school technology with experimental processes in order to create images that make her subjects seem almost otherworldly, she takes photos that could readily be mistaken for paintings.
"I'm not really interested in traditional photography," she explains.
Despite her use of traditional film cameras, Finley's photographs are anything but typical. She creates her surreal, dreamlike images through a variety of techniques that to the more traditional photographer would seem like mistakes.
With digital photography, changes in vibrancy and color can be manipulated in programs like Adobe Photoshop after the photo has been taken. But with film photography, shifts in color and tone are achieved by mixing up the developing process. Such manual manipulations require a deeper understanding of film and of the chemistry of film processing, both of which Finley understands well.
"If you develop [slide film] in regular color film chemistry, you get crazy color shifts and it's intensely saturated," she explains. "I like experimenting with different kinds of films to get interesting color combinations."
Besides intentionally "misusing" film to create wild hues and glowing subjects, Finley also experiments with double exposures, after accidentally shooting over a used roll of film last summer. That double-exposed roll, consisting of a layer of images from Yosemite National Park and a layer from the Oregon Country Fair, turned out to be one of her favorites.
Many of the images from that roll made it into her recent art shows, which appeared this spring at the Buzz Café on the University of Oregon campus and at the Wandering Goat Coffee Company in Eugene. She has been shooting with film for only five years and the show at the Buzz was her first.
"Just the fact that it happened by chance makes them really special to me," she says. "That could only happen with film."
Although it is becoming increasingly uncommon for photographers to work with actual film, Finley is passionate about the unique qualities of the medium that captivated her from the beginning.
She hopes that people who see her work might be inspired to try something new and pick up a film camera themselves.
Finley says enthusiastically, "I think there's a lot of magic in the analog practices that are dying out."
The JAM Workshop — Journalism Arts Multimedia — is a brand new class taught at the University of Oregon's School Of Journalism and Communication.

I would offer to pick them up, but the first day for donations is the day of my surgery, so that won't work. Actually, I am planning to do a garage (moving) sale this coming week. I could pick up what will fit in my car this afternoon when I am done with my appointment in your town (about 3:00) and try to sell them for you. Then if you want, I could donate what remains to the church garage sale, as I will be having someone pick up stuff from the house for donation anyway.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

What's in MY pack? Backpacking gear lists from a Great Smoky Mountains overnighter
"Ever since we published a series of backpacking gear lists this spring (an ultralight backpacking gear list, a traditional backpacking gear list and a beginner's backpacking gear list) several blog readers have contacted me to ask which of those items I personally carry. After all, it's one thing to compile lists of suggested backpacking gear, and another thing entirely to disclose exactly what I take on the trail. Well, what better way to follow up those gear lists, and answer that question, than with another gear list?"

Comments about Platypus Platy plusBottle 1 L push/pull:
This bottle is a great replacement to your rigid water bottles. Superlight- less than one ounce! Compare to a Nalgene, which is over a quater pound! Winter backpackers beware- I wouldn't trust these with hot liquids in them. Also, don't expect these to last as long as your rigid bottle...however the lack of weight is worth the lack of durability for me.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
With employment opportunities limited in Carbon County, across Utah and throughout the United States, job seekers are trying to find special edges in the quest to secure work.
Special edges may include completing additional education or training and acquiring jobs skills.
Some applicants, particularly for state and federal government positions, qualify for an employment edge because they are veterans of one of the branches of the U.S. military service.
Veteran's preference in government employment is not just a policy that has spread through the public service sector, but is the law in many states and at the federal level.
But some Americans view the policy as an unfair practice. Opponents feel that serving in the military should not automatically give veterans an edge in the quest to obtain jobs.
On the other end of the spectrum, some Americans think veterans applying for employment should receive preference on all jobs. Proponents of the policy believe veterans should receive the preference benefit for sacrifices made during military service.
Regardless of where Carbon County residents may stand on the subject, government agencies must follow established guidelines when making decisions about hiring veterans.
At the federal level, there are more regulations and laws established for programs available to veterans and the spouses as well as families of former U.S. military personnel.
In addition to the job policy for veterans, two programs focus on employing the spouses and dependents of active duty personnel.
Veterans preference gives special consideration to eligible former military personnel looking for federal employment positions.
However, implementing the policy is frequently a complicated process, especially at the state and local levels as well as in the private employment sector.
At the state level, veterans preference acts vary. In Utah, veterans preference as spelled out in the state code.
Title 71, Chapter 10 of the Utah Code states that "each government entity shall grant a veteran's preference upon initial hiring to each preference eligible veteran or preference eligible spouse according to the procedures and requirements of" the law.
State statute also specifies the type of allowance that should be added to a veteran's consideration for a job.
Under the Utah law, the "personnel officers of any government entity shall add to the score of a preference eligible who receives a passing score on an examination or any other rating or ranking mechanism used in selecting an individual" for a position.
The amount added to the evaluation process depends on the status of the veterans and the former military personnel's spouses.
For a veteran, the personnel officer must add 5 percent to the employment evaluation.
If the person applying for a position is a disabled veteran, 10 percent must be added to the individual's score.
For spouses, widows or widowers of former military personnel, the increase must equal the percentage that the veteran is or would have been entitled to receive on the employment evaluation.
However, not all jobs require examinations, therefore the employment evaluations may not be based on numeric scores.
In that case, the Utah law states that veterans should be given preference in interviewing and hiring for an employment position.
In connection with the federal employment process, a civil service exam is typically used to evaluate job candidates and points may be added with little difficulty to adjust a veteran's qualifications.
But in state, county and local employment situations, exams are not administered for every open position.
Therefore, the hiring process for filling state, county and local positions may depend on the results of an applicant's interview. And that is where problems regarding veterans preference sometimes surface.
How does a committee of interviewers add points to a system that often has no numerical score?
Various non-federal governmental agencies have policies on both scoring for non-numerical evaluations as well as what qualifies people for interviews.
Many use the "best qualified" grouping method. Once a group of applicants have met the basic level of expertise for a job that is advertised, then a committee sorts through the applications and decides on those that are the "best qualified" that have applied. In some cases entities also used a total screening criteria as well, which included various kinds of other factors besides the actual job description needs.
In a lot of these agencies, once the veteran reaches those levels, that is when the preference for veterans kicks in. When candidates are interviewed, if two or three come down to being the best, the veteran is given preference.
Locally Price City's Human Resource Director Keith Wight says that they just follow the law.
"We use state and federal law to guide us," he stated. "In fact we have just included that in some new policies that we put together last year."
At the county level, Dennis Dooley says that they follow Utah State Law.
"The state law is our law," he told the Sun Advocate. "We follow that in all preference situations. When it comes to the various departments, the department heads use that as their guideline."
However, the law in the state of Utah is much less detailed in how to give preference for various levels of veteran status. This often brings confusion in giving preference, especially when comparing local agencies with federal ones.

The Hybrid Approach to Cloud Computing
A new white paper released today from Microsoft and DotNet Solutions discusses the value of hybrid clouds as being capable of maximizing all of the benefits of the cloud (most notably in terms of cost and scalability) without putting an organization at excessive risk. The authors recognize that there are barriers to cloud, particularly in terms of security and the recurring investment into existing IT structures that will need to be reevaluated but makes the claim that hybrid clouds are sound investments and that many of the barriers are based on misconceptions. While many enterprises have already invested heavily in existing infrastructure, increases in the amount of data and maintenance costs of that data is creating cost strains and could permit greater flexibility in terms of options. While certainly the companies behind this report have a direct investment in furthering cloud adoption, it is a useful evaluation of the hybrid cloud model in the enterprise context, especially for those who are not yet sold on the public cloud due to security concerns.

We've just about finished our spring fashion prep work, but there's one more important task we must attend to before we'll feel officially organized. Thus far, we've discussed a few noteworthy trends, divulged some of our favorite clothing and beauty products, and introduced you to a must-buy-now shoe shape, which leads us to our next order of business: addressing the season's covetable selection of handbags! We're quite delighted by the range of shapes and vibrant hues on the market right now, and are so excited to see what the top trendsetters will be toting this spring. We have our own predictions, of course, and are thrilled to reveal them in today's What Would She Wear: S/S 11 Handbags story! Read on for all of our ideas--from Alexander Wang to Yves Saint Laurent--and don't forget to tell us which super-chic bag is topping your wish list!
Olivia Palermo/ Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two Multi-Color Leather Tote ($1950, 212.980.2970)
One of the things we like best about Olivia Palermo is her ability to construct thoughtful, polished ensembles. Always flawlessly turned out wherever she goes, the brunette beauty has mastered the art of infusing ladylike looks with youthful accents. Accordingly, we knew she'd be the perfect match for the Yves Saint Laurent Muse Multi-Color Tote. It's sophisticated and chic, just like Palermo, not to mention we think she'd be drawn to the bag's playful patches of color, which give the classic carryall a cool, modern twist. We also approve of MICHAEL Michael Kors' Hamilton Tote ($348), which is a more wallet-friendly alternative in a fun electric blue color that's perfect for spring!
Rihanna/ Proenza Schouler Mesh Lizard Folded Top Handle Bag ($2500, 212.826.8900)
Not including a Proenza Schouler carrier in our seasonal handbag stories is an impossible task. We're still in love with the PS1--and probably always will be--and its more structured sister, the PS11, stole our hearts the minute we first laid eyes on it. Accordingly, it's probably no surprise that we're head-over-heels for the latest style to come from the designer duo: the Mesh Lizard Folded Top Handle Bag. We also have a feeling that Rihanna will be smitten with this super-cool purse too. Our reasoning is simple: this bag's intriguing mesh detailing speaks to the stylish singer's cutting-edge sensibilities, while the crisp white color is an excellent choice for spring and the perfect contrasting hue for her more dramatic sartorial moments. And though we can't bear the thought of not owning this bag, Foley + Corinna's Classic Disco City Clutch ($198) and Brahmin Claudia's Croco-Embossed Satchel ($225) are both guilt-free substitutions that are equally noteworthy.
Charlize Theron/ Alexander Wang Emile Small Tote ($650) in Burlap
It's always a good idea to have a chic top-handle carryall on hand, which is why the Emile Tote by Alexander Wang is currently on our must-buy-immediately list. We adore the bag's quirky, bowling-bag shape and, based on our careful observations, have a hunch Charlize Theron would approve too; she has a predilection for oversized, neutral totes. Even better: this bag is perfect for a resort getaway or a polished city look, thanks to its natural burlap material and dark leather trim. We also have our eyes on ASOS' Canvas Strapping Bag ($99), so be sure to check out this affordable option too!
Kirsten Dunst/ Calvin Klein Collection Large Shoulder Bag ($2495, 212.292.9000) in Coral
If we've learned anything from our obsession with Kirsten Dunst's incredible sense of style, it's that she typically goes for an unfussy look, which applies to her accessories as well! Often favoring hands-free, across-body styles, we knew she'd appreciate this satchel by Calvin Klein Collection as much as we do. Its simple shape and sleek flap-top design has a bit of that '70s vibe she favors, plus it will work well with minimalist ensembles and the vibrant coral hue is perfect in keeping with the season's ultra-bright color trend. If that price tag is a little too steep for your liking, we suggest snagging ASOS' Contrast Handle Flat Lock Across Body Bag ($27) or Forever 21's Date Night Leatherette Bag ($21); both offer a similar shape and color, but at a fraction of the cost!
Jessica Alba/ Mulberry Tillie Bag ($1175, 212.453.4722) in Black
By now you probably know that we're complete suckers for Mulberry's wonderful bags. While last season's leopard Neely Tote was our handbag obsession, we're absolutely mad about the brand's sophisticated satchel for spring: the Tillie! As for our celeb match, we believe Jessica Alba would be a fan of the bag's contemporary shape and chic metal hardware--it's universally appealing, no? Also available in powder beige and chestnut, the Tillie is definitely worth the investment, but if the serious price tag doesn't quite fit your spring wardrobe budget, Marc B's Lace Sofia Bag ($90) and Topshop's Black Aged Snake Effect Leather Satchel ($125) are spot-on alternatives you don't want to miss.--Jessica Baker

CANTON - SUNY Canton is lobbying lawmakers to make the college a premier training center for homeland security, emergency preparedness and cybersecurity as the state prepares its budget.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo proposed creating the nations first college devoted to homeland security training in January. His budget includes $15 million for creating such an institution.
SUNY Canton, in partnership with Clarkson University and local leaders, wants to become the focal point of this initiative.
The college already has degree programs in homeland security and emergency management, while Clarkson Universitys computer science department employs cybersecurity experts. St. Lawrence Countys proximity to the U.S.-Canada border and Fort Drum also provides a potential benefit, because of the opportunity to create partnerships with U.S. Border Patrol agents and nearby Department of Homeland Security officials.
What were trying to do here is to advocate that this proposed college stays in the budget, and that we have the opportunity to present our (very strong) case for it being housed in Canton/Potsdam, SUNY Canton spokeswoman Lenore VanderZee said via email.
Canton Town Supervisor David T. Button, Canton Mayor Mary Ann Ashley, Potsdam Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan and Potsdam Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis have all expressed support for the initiative.
All of us locally realize we have two schools that can do everything the governor is looking for, Mr. Button said.
If the state does support SUNY Cantons proposal, it is uncertain how the governors plan would be implemented. Much depends on the ongoing budget negotiations, and there are political hurdles in the way.
The state Assembly budget calls for investing money into existing programs statewide rather than creating a new training headquarters. The Senates budget supports the governors plan, but insists the program be located in Syracuse.
This is largely due to the efforts of State Sen. John A. DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse, who has been one of the chief advocates for a homeland security college.
Because it was his proposal, thats the way it was carried forward in the Senates budget, said Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton. I certainly support my colleges, and I know SUNY Canton has been working to put a proposal together. I dont think its locked down at this point, she said.
Syracuses claim is far from a sure thing, Mr. Button said. Local lawmakers have urged state leaders to keep all options available.
They made it clear to us that this is wide open. No one area has a claim on this, but we need to get working on it, Mr. Button said.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, could not be reached for comment Thursday, but her spokesman, Mark A. Pacilio said Mrs. Russell has been advocating for SUNY Cantons proposal since it was first discussed. The details of the plans implementation and the beneficiary of the states funds will not be known for a while, he said.
We wont know until the budget is ready, he said.
Ms. VanderZee said the plan would be of major benefit to SUNY Canton.
To locate the governors proposed College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cyber Security here would be wonderful for SUNY Canton, and would establish us, along with Clarkson University, as national leaders in these areas, integrating education, training, and research in a comprehensive public-private academic partnership, she said.

No. 8 Creighton Prepares for Showdown at No. 1 Akron Sunday
OMAHA, Neb. (Nov. 24) - The No. 8 Creighton men's soccer team continues play in the 2012 NCAA Men's Soccer Championship tournament this weekend with an NCAA Third Round match at No. 1 Akron slated for 3:30 p.m. CT Sunday at the Zips' FirstEnergy Stadium - Cub Cadet Field.
The Bluejays (16-3-2), the No. 12 national seed of the NCAA Tournament, defeated No. 21 Washington 4-2 last Sunday to advance after receiving a first round bye as a top-16 seed. Akron (18-1-2), the No. 5 national seed, defeated Michigan 2-1 at home in an NCAA Second Round match Sunday afternoon.
This year marks the 20th NCAA tournament appearance for Creighton all-time. CU is 27-16-5 all-time in the tourney with four College Cup appearances including the 2011 season. Akron is making its 23rd NCAA tournament appearance all-time, earning a postseason berth for the 11th time in 12 seasons. After Sunday's victory, the Zips are 18-20-4 all-time in the tourney and are seeking their fourth College Cup appearance after winning the 2010 National Championship.
The Bluejays and Zips have only met twice in program history, with UA leading the series 1-0-1. In 2010 Akron claimed a 1-0 home win over Creighton. Earlier this season CU settled for a 1-1 draw in Omaha on Aug. 31. The teams hold the two longest win streaks in the nation. CU comes in on an 11-match win streak while Akron has won 15 straight contests.
Current Creighton head coach Elmar Bolowich is in his second year after guiding the Bluejays to their fourth College Cup appearance in program history in 2011 during his first season at CU. His staff won MVC Coaching Staff of the Year in his debut season with the Jays. That followed a 22-year stint at North Carolina, where he guided the Tar Heels to 15 NCAA Tournaments, four College Cup appearances and the 2001 National Title. Bolowich continues his 17th NCAA Tournament with 24-13-5 record all-time.
Bolowich has recent tournament history with Akron. UA slipped past Bolowich's North Carolina squad on penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw at the 2009 College Cup semifinals.
Last Sunday Creighton's offense fired on all cylinders resulting in four goals on the night - the most for the Jays all season. CU also put Washington's defense back on its heels as the Jays' four goals tied the most allowed this season by the Huskies.

Scouting the No. 8 Creighton Bluejays (16-3-2)
Creighton advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the 11th time in program history, its fourth sweet 16 appearance in the past five seasons, after the Bluejays knocked off Washington 4-2 on Nov. 18. The victory marked CU's fifth consecutive win in their NCAA Tournament debut game dating back to 2007.
CU got on the scoreboard early against the Huskies last Sunday as senior Brent Kallman scored his third career goal, the defender's second score in four matches, in the sixth minute to put the Bluejays out front 1-0. Washington tied the score at 1-1 in the 48th minute. The goal was the first surrendered by the Creighton defense at home since Sept. 22 - a span of over 13 scoreless halves.
Just under seven minutes later CU freshman Timo Pitter scored on a cross from sophomore Jose Ribas for his team-leading ninth goal of the season to put Creighton ahead for good. Ribas added another assist on senior co-captain Andrew Ribeiro's goal in front of the net in the 66th minute to put Creighton up 3-1. The goal would stand as the game-winner - marking the second match in a row that Ribeiro scored the winning score this postseason. Each of his last seven goals have been game-winning shots, three this season and four in 2011.
In the 86th minute, Pitter added an assist to his point total as freshman Christian Blandon scored his third career goal as the Jays built a 4-1 advantage. UW scored a goal three minutes later in the 89th minute off of a direct kick to yield the final score of 4-2.
The Bluejays and Akron have never met in the NCAA Tournament. UA leads the series 1-0-1. In 2010 Akron claimed a 1-0 home win over Creighton. Earlier this season CU settled for a 1-1 draw in Omaha on Aug. 31.
Entering the first week of the NCAA Tournament, Creighton ranks No. 10 nationally with a 0.48 shutout percentage (10-of-21 matches). The Jays also rank No. 23 nationally for team goals against average (0.82) and stand at No. 26 in the country in save percentage (0.822)
Freshman Timo Pitter leads the team with 22 points, nine goals and 63 shot attempts this season. Senior co-captain Jose Gomez is second on the Jays with six goals and 20 points in 2012. Gomez and sophomore Jose Ribas are tied atop the CU stat sheet with eight assists. Freshman goalkeeper Jeff Gal posted his 12th consecutive victory last Sunday. He ranks eighth nationally in goals against average (0.657) and stands ninth in the country for save percentage (.843).
Scouting the Akron Zips (18-1-2)
Akron, the No. 5 national seed, defeated Michigan 2-1 at home in an NCAA Second Round game Sunday afternoon. UA is making its 23rd NCAA tournament appearance all-time, earning a postseason berth for the 11th time in 12 seasons. After Sunday's victory, the Zips are 18-20-4 all-time in the tourney and are seeking their fourth College Cup appearance after winning the 2010 National Championship.
Akron has won its last 15 matches and is unbeaten in its last 16. During its current win streak, UA has outscored its opponents, 36-2. The Zips are undefeated at 10-0-1 on their home field this season and have lost just once at FirstEnergy Stadium - Cub Cadet Field in the last five years. Since 2008, UA has gone 55-1-6 (.935) at home, including a record of 8-0-1 in the NCAA Tournament.
UA is ranked No. 2 in the nation in the RPI and No. 1 in the latest NSCAA poll. The Zips are making their fifth-straight appearance in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament. Akron is 2-2-0 in the Round of 16 since 2008, including a perfect 2-0 mark on its home field.
Akron head coach Caleb Porter owns an all-time record of 11-4-2 at the NCAA Tournament and has led the Zips to the Round of 16 in each of the last five seasons. UA is 8-1-1 (.850) at home over the last seven seasons during the NCAA Tournament. The Zips earned a first-round bye at the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in the last six seasons.
Akron leads the nation in shutout percentage at 0.76. The Zips rank second nationally in save percentage (0.883) and in team goals against average (0.33). UA is No. 5 in total assists (46) nationwide and ranks No. 6 in the country with 136 total points.
UA junior Reinaldo Brenes leads the Zips with 10 goals in 2012. Akron senior Scott Caldwell leads the team with 10 assists and 28 points.
Junior David Meves has played every match in net for the Zips this season, making 52 saves. In 21 starts, he carries a 0.326 goals against average and a 0.881 save percentage to rank second nationally in each category, respectively.
The Last Meeting
OMAHA, Neb.(Aug. 31, 2012) - The No. 2 Creighton men's soccer team battled No. 7 Akron to a 1-1 Draw on the opening day of play at the Ameritas Classic at Morrison Stadium. The draw sent both the Zips and the Jays to 1-0-1 on the season. It also extended Creighton's home undefeated streak to 17 games.
Creighton took the lead in the 24th minute as junior Sean Kim delivered his third goal of the season. In the 57th minute, Akron broke through for the game-tying goal as Alfred Koroma headed in a goal with 30:36 remaining.
Akron appeared to have scored the game winning goal in the 97th minute, but the shot by Aodhan Quinn was waived off by an offside penalty.
Sophomore Alex Bolowich earned his first start of the season in the goal, grabbing four saves. Akron's David Meves, meanwhile, finished with three. Akron closed the contest with a 15-12 edge in shots and claimed a 6-3 nod on corner kicks.
NCAA Tournament History
Creighton is making its 20th NCAA Tournament appearance, all in the past 21 seasons (missed in 2009). CU is 27-16-5 all-time in the NCAA Tournament, including 12-4-0 at home and 11-1-0 at Morrison Stadium.
The Jays have now won at least one NCAA Tournament match in 15 of their 21 trips. The Jays are 17-6-4 in their last nine appearances, advancing to the quarterfinals in five of their last nine trips to the tourney.
CU appeared in 17 straight NCAA Tournaments between 1992 and 2008, before missing the 2009 NCAA event despite an RPI of 35. The Jays advanced to their fourth College Cup in program history last season.
Against the Field
Creighton has played five matches against 2012 NCAA Tournament teams, going 1-3-1 against those squads. Last weekend CU toppled Washington 4-2 to record its first win against the field.
Creighton tied No. 5 seed Akron 1-1 in Omaha in the second game of the season on Aug. 31.
The Jays' only three losses of the season came at the hands of tourney squads. CU fell 2-1 to then-No. 14 Old Dominion on Sept. 14 and dropped a 3-1 contest to No. 8 seed St. Louis on Sept. 22. Creighton later fell 2-0 at No. 11 seed Tulsa on Sept. 25. Since that setback, CU is 11-0-1 and enters the NCAA tournament on an 11-match win streak.
Tough Road to the College Cup
Creighton is a part of the only section in the NCAA Third Round to advance all four seeded teams to the round of 16. Joining the No. 12-seeded Jays is No. 4 Connecticut, No. 5 Akron and No. 13 New Mexico. Of the other dozen teams still in the bracket, only seven seeded squads remain in the three other sections combined.
Streaking Alert
Creighton's 11-game winning streak matches its longest of last season when the Jays won 11 straight including three 2011 NCAA tournament wins. The 2000 CU team also won 11 straight in order to reach the NCAA title match.
CU entered the 2012 NCAA Tournament on a 10-game winning streak. It marks the second-longest streak entering the NCAA postseason in school history behind the 1993 team, which entered the tourney on a 19-game run.
CU vs. Top 25
Creighton is 1-1-1 against top 25 teams this year after a 4-2 decision over Washington last weekend. A 1-1 draw against then-No.7 Akron on Aug. 31 and a 2-1 loss to then-No. 14 Old Dominion on Sept. 14 account for the other matches. CU is 62-43-11 all-time against the Coaches' Top 25.
Cutting It Close
After a 2-1 victory over SIUE on Nov. 11 in the MVC Final, the Jays are 11-1 in games decided by one goal in 2012. A 3-2 double overtime win over Drake in the MVC semifinals Nov. 9 marked CU's third overtime victory of the year. The Bluejays are undefeated at 3-0-2 in extra time this season.
Double the Titles
CU captured the MVC Tournament title in the same season as the MVC regular-season championship for the eighth time this season. The Jays have been double champs in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2012.
MVC Tournament History
After a 2-1 title victory over SIUE, the Bluejays are 33-8-1 all-time MVC tournament record, the most tournament victories in league history. CU has won more tournament titles, 13, than all other MVC teams combined.
The Jays have appeared in 16 of the 22 MVC tournament championship matches, including six of the last eight. The Jays have lost in the quarterfinals once, the semifinals five times, in the championship match three times and won the other 13 tournaments in which they've appeared.
The Jays are the only team in league history with more than three tournament titles.
Men's Soccer Claims Multiple MVC Honors
The Creighton men's soccer team claimed three specialty awards and placed six student-athletes on Missouri Valley All-Conference teams, the league announced Nov. 8 at the Men's Soccer Championship banquet hosted by Bradley.
Senior co-captain Jose Gomez became the 11th player in program history to take home MVC Player of the Year Honors. The Bluejays have won the award on 12 occasions as Ethan Finlay earned the accolade for a second time last season.
Fellow senior co-captain Andrew Ribeiro claimed MVC Defensive Player of the Year recognition. It marks the ninth time that a CU player won claimed the award.
The MVC recognized CU's Timo Pitter as the Freshman of the Year. Creighton first-year players have claimed four of the last five freshman honors in the league. Pitter is the seventh Bluejay to earn the laurel.
Sophomore midfielder Eric Miller joined Gomez, Ribeiro and Pitter on the MVC First Team. Sophomore Jose Ribas was the only CU member of the MVC Second Team. Freshman defender Brendan Hines-Ike joined Pitter on the MVC All-Freshman team this year.
Jays Claim 12th MVC Regular Season Title
After a 2-1 defeat at Evansville (11/3), the Jays clinched their third straight Valley title and a bye into the MVC Tournament semifinals. CU claimed its second outright crown in three seasons.
No Losses in Title Run
Creighton finished 2012 with a 5-0-1 mark in MVC play. The last time CU finished the conference season without a loss was in 2008 (4-0-1). The Jays have now finished atop the MVC without a loss on seven occasions (1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2007, 2008 and 2012).
Creighton captured its 12th MVC regular-season title this year marking its third straight crown and its sixth in the last seven years. The title also gives head coach Elmar Bolowich back-to-back-to-back regular-season titles (after winning the ACC at North Carolina in 2010).
Dominant Defense Ties MVC Goals Allowed Record
With one goal allowed in conference play this year Creighton's shutout defense tied the MVC team record for the fewest goals allowed in a Valley season set last year by CU.
The 2012 Jays remained ahead of three teams, including CU's 1995 squad, who shared the previous all-time low record of two goals allowed in a conference season prior to 2011.
CU logged 12 consecutive shutouts of MVC opponents from Oct. 12, 2011 through Nov. 3, 2012. The Bluejays' defensive shutout streak ended after a total of 1,293 minutes.
Clean Sheets
Creighton tied its single-season consecutive home shutout record (1999, 2003, and 2011) this season by recording five straight clean sheets at home - all in October.
Coming into the postseason, the Jays have blanked opponents for the last 457:07 in Morrison Stadium dating back to Sept. 22.
Jays Rank No. 11 in Latest NCAA RPI
Creighton ranks at No. 11 in the latest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released by the NCAA on Nov. 11. The Jays moved up three spots from No. 14 after winning the MVC Tournament Title.
One and Done
CU has won its last 11 games that were decided by a 1-0 score, including a 6-0 record this season. In 2011 CU posted seven 1-0 wins - the most in school history. The 2002 College Cup also posted six 1-0 victories. Head coach Elmar Bolowich is 14-2 at CU in matches that end 1-0 and is 27-4 over the past four years.
Pitter Patter
Freshman Timo Pitter continues to rapidly tap the ball past opposing goalkeepers this season. His score against Washington (11/18) was his team-leading ninth of the season. Pitter's nine scores are the most by any CU freshman since Byron Dacy also tapped in nine goals in 2005.
Miller Claims First Scholar-Athlete Accolade
Sophomore Eric Miller claimed his first MVC Scholar-Athlete Award earlier last week after scoring his first career goal and notching his third career assist in a 3-2 double overtime win over Drake in the MVC Semifinals Nov. 9. He also played in all 90 minutes of Creighton's 2-1 win over SIUE in the MVC Tournament Final Nov. 11.
Prior to the conference tourney Miller was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII team. He also won recognition on the 2012 All-MVC First Team as well as the 2012 MVC All-Tournament Team. Miller started all 17 matches for the Bluejays in which he has played.
Miller, who has a 3.71 cumulative grade-point average in business, has played 90 or more minutes in 13 matches in 2012. This fall he was selected to the U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team, playing over 220 minutes in three games at the Marbella Cup in Spain.
Ribas Earns fourth Scholar-Athlete Award
Sophomore Jose Ribas earned MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week honors Nov. 20.
The award is the third time he has earned the MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week. He also claimed the award Sept. 19, Oct. 24 and Nov. 7.
The Guayaquil, Ecuador, native posted his seventh and eighth assist of the year in the Jays' 4-2 victory over Washington Nov. 18.
Ribas, who has a 3.60 cumulative grade point average in business, is tied for the team lead with eight assists this season.
Pitter Collects First Career MVC Honor
Freshman Timo Pitter claimed MVC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in the Bluejays' 2-1 win over Evansville on Nov. 3; the league announced Nov. 5.
Pitter's conference accolade is the first of his career. The MVC has recognized CU players with weekly awards six times this season including once in each of the past four weeks.
The freshman from Oberschwarzach, Germany, scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season to lead Creighton to a 2-1 victory at Evansville Nov. 3 and help the Jays clinch an outright MVC regular season title and the top seed in the Valley tournament.
Bolowich and the College Cup
CU head coach Elmar Bolowich is among 10 coaches who have appeared in four straight College Cups, but he was the first to do so with two different teams.
The 2011 season marked his fifth appearance in the College Cup, joining 11 other head coaches that have reached five Cups.
Bolowich and Bob Guelker (SIUE and St. Louis) are the only coaches to take two different teams to the Cup.
Two Jays Earn Academic All-District Honors
Two men's soccer players earned 2012 Capital One Academic All-District VII First Team honors as voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) the organization announced Nov. 1.
Junior Bruno Castro and sophomore Eric Miller were each recognized for work both on the field and in the classroom. The honor is the first for each player.
As First Team All-District members Castro and Miller will be placed on a national ballot for a chance to be Academic All-America selections while competing against student-athletes from across the country.
Ribeiro Collects Third MVC Honor of 2012
Senior Andrew Ribeiro MVC Defensive Player of the Week honors Oct. 29 for efforts in the Jays' 1-0 win vs. Missouri State Oct. 27.
Ribeiro's conference accolade is the third of his career and in 2012 following previous honors this season on Oct. 15 and Sept. 4.
The senior from Green Bay, Wis., attempted one shot and played every minute of the Jays' 1-0 victory over the Bears. The senior co-captain has played all but eight minutes this season for the Bluejays.
Gomez Claims MVC Accolade
Senior Jose Gomez claimed MVC Offensive Player of the Week honors Oct. 23.
Gomez's conference accolade is the second of his career and in 2012. The senior was also honored by the conference earlier this season on Sept. 4 after the Ameritas Classic.
One week after earning National Player of the Week honors, he continued his offensive prowess in front of Bluejay fans at Morrison Stadium. Gomez scored the game-winning goal off of a crossing pass in a 3-0defeat of UMKC Oct. 16. He later assisted on another.
Eric Miller Makes Return after Playing for U.S. Under-20 National Team
Sophomore Eric Miller returned to the Jays after missing three matches playing for U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team in October.
U.S. National Team head coach Tab Ramos led the team in Spain's 2012 Marbella Cup.
Miller played 69 minutes off the bench in a 2-1 loss to Canada in Marbella on Oct. 10. The U.S. rebounded to beat Scotland 2-0 Oct. 12; Miller saw 63 minutes of match time.
Miller made his first start on Oct. 16, playing all 90 minutes in a 3-2 win over Azerbaijan.
Jays Celebrate 600th Match with a Win
Creighton posted a 1-0 win over Missouri State Oct. 27 in the program's 600th match. CU is now 394-153-57 in 30 seasons of men's soccer.
Gomez Climbing Morrison Record Book
After scoring a goal and notching an assist against UMKC Oct. 16, senior Jose Gomez tied Tim Bohnenkamp (2004-07) for No. 1 with 15 career assists inside Morrison Stadium.
Gomez's goal moved him into a tie for No. 5 all-time on the stadium list at nine scores. Currently he ranks No. 2 in shots on goal with 37 and No. 3 in points with 33 at home.
October Surprise
CU extended its season-best win streak to seven matches last week and finished the month of October undefeated at 7-0. Creighton improved to 61-11-12 in the month of October since 2002. The Jays have now gone unbeaten in five Octobers since then (2002, 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2012).
Opponents Seeking Goals
Creighton has kept seven of its last 13 opponents off of the scoreboard this season after shutout wins vs. Missouri State (10/27), Bradley (10/20), UMKC (10/16), at UCA (10/13), vs. SIUE (10/6) and Loyola-Chicago (10/2) along with a scoreless draw at Drake (9/29).
Princeton's first goal Oct. 9 halted a Jays' opponent scoreless streak at 320:49. After the second score of that match, CU shut out opponents for 414:42 until an Evansville goal Nov. 3.

Gomez Tabbed National Player of the Week
Senior Jose Gomez claimed Men's College Soccer National Player of the Week honors from TopDrawerSoccer.com and earned a spot on the College Soccer News National Team of the Week on Oct. 15.

Gomez posted six points in CU's two road victories Oct. 9-13. On Oct. 13, he netted a score and an assist in a 3-0 victory at MVC foe Central Arkansas. Earlier in the week, Gomez assisted on all three Creighton goals, including the game-winning score in overtime, in a 3-2 victory at Princeton in front of a national television audience on ESPNU Tuesday, Oct. 9.
The Santa Ana, Calif., native is the first Jay to earn an assist on three CU goals in the same game since Seth Sinovic helped on three scores at Eastern Illinois on Nov. 8, 2008.
Offense Comes Alive
Creighton's 3-0 victory vs. UMKC Oct. 16 coupled with a 3-0 win at UCA Oct. 13 and the Jays' 3-2 OT win at Princeton Oct. 9 marked the first time the Jays' offense scored three or more goals in three consecutive matches since 2005.

Alex Bolowich Named MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week

Carbon County's economy sustained a moderate employment expansion level during the 20-year period between 1985 and 2005.
However, the latest finalized data compiled by the Utah Department of Workforce Services indicates that Carbon's 20 percent employment growth level ranked near the bottom of the non-farm job creation rates reported by the state's 29 counties from 1985 to 2005.
Nevertheless, Carbon's moderate employment expansion outpaced neighboring Emery County during the 20-year period. Emery County posted a negative 1 percent job growth rate from 1985 to 2005.
Millard County finished at the bottom of the list with a negative 32 percent job growth rate, while Washington County topped the statewide rankings with a 405 percent employment expansion level.
"As an old year ends and a new one begins, the natural inclination to review the past nudges at our psyche. So let's give into the urge. But, in this case, let's look back - way back - to discover which counties have experienced the strongest economic growth over the past 20 years," commented DWS economist Lecia Langston in the state agency's January-February 2007 Trendlines report.
Job growth represents one of the best available measure of a county's economic well-being, pointed out Langston. The concurrent indicator tracks closely with cycles of boom and bust or expansion and recession, providing some of the most accurate data.
"Remember 1985? The first Ford Taurus rolled off the assembly line, Ronald Reagan was president and U.S. unemployment registered above 7 percent," commented the DWS economist. "To put the county numbers in perspective, what happened statewide and nationally?"
In Utah between 1985 and 2005, jobs increased statewide by 84 percent or more than twice the rate of the national 37 percent employment expansion rate.
Overall, the four main Wasatch Front counties - Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Utah - showed slower than average job growth at 80 percent.
On the other hand, the remaining counties off the Wasatch Front experienced 99 percent employment expansion during the 20-year period in question.
As with most indicators, areas located outside the Wasatch Front corridor displayed a wide array of economic performance, noted Langston.
However, the counties experienced the most rapid employment expansion rates were located outside the state's major metropolitan areas.
Red-hot growth in Washington's rapid growth is illustrated by the fact that, between 1985 and 2005, the number of jobs tupled with an increase of more than 400 percent.
Two southwestern counties - Iron and Kane - placed among the top five fastest growing employment areas in Utah. Summit and Wasatch - rounded out the top five.
Roughly, one-third of Utah's counties at least doubled the number of employment opportunities from 1985 to 2005, explained the DWS economist.
On the opposite end of the economic spectrum, Millard and Emery counties' employment measures at lower levels than 20 years ago.
In the case of Millard, Intermountain Power Plant construction produced a temporary swell in the base year.
Emery County's employment registered a slight decline during the 20-year period.
In addition to Carbon, slower growing Utah counties during the designated 20-year period included San Juan, Beaver, Duchesne and Tooele.
"However, remember that these numbers cover two decades. Several of these counties are currently experiencing rapid expansion. For example, Duchesne County's current job growth rate registers in the double-digit range," concluded Langston.

Rex's Delicious Pretzel Logic
Rex got downright daddish in talking about why the Jets probably won't activate Tim Tebow this weekend in Jacksonville.
"I think we have to see what happens during the week with Tim," Ryan said. "I don't believe he's been healthy for what I think he should be.
"If that was my son, I would not want him playing and that's how I look at this. If he was completely healthy, then Tim would be our No. 2."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
That's very noble of Rex.
Until I realize that Tebow was actually less healthy than he 'should be,' when the Jets activated him on Thanksgiving.
This is a total mess and the sooner the front office and coaching staff can get on the same page, the happier I'll be.
