Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the moon, entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1968. That evening, the astronauts--Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders--held a live broadcast from lunar orbit, in which they showed pictures of the Earth and moon as seen from their spacecraft. Said Lovell, "The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth." They ended the broadcast with the crew taking turns reading from the book of Genesis.A
This picture of the Earth and Moon in a single frame was taken by the Galileo spacecraft from about 3.9 million miles away. Antarctica is visible through clouds (bottom). The Moon's far side is seen; the shadowy indentation in the dawn terminator is the south pole Aitken Basin, one of the largest and oldest lunar impact features.

A 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth taken from the VIIRS instrument aboard NASA's most recently launched Earth-observing satellite - Suomi NPP. This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth's surface taken on January 4, 2012. The NPP satellite was renamed 'Suomi NPP' on January 24, 2012 to honor the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin. Suomi NPP is NASA's next Earth-observing research satellite. It is the first of a new generation of satellites that will observe many facets of our changing Earth. Suomi NPP is carrying five instruments on board. The biggest and most important instrument is The Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite or VIIRS.
High-resolution global atmospheric modeling run on the Discover supercomputer at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation at Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., provides a unique tool to study the role of weather in Earth's climate system. The Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5) is capable of simulating worldwide weather at resolutions of 10 to 3.5 kilometers (km).This portrait of global aerosols was produced by a GEOS-5 simulation at a 10-kilometer resolution. Dust (red) is lifted from the surface, sea salt (blue) swirls inside cyclones, smoke (green) rises from fires, and sulfate particles (white) stream from volcanoes and fossil fuel emissions.
Finney County in southwestern Kansas is now irrigated cropland where once there was shortgrass prairie. Common crops are corn, wheat and sorghum. Green areas in the image are healthy vegetation. Light colored cultivated fields are fallow or recently harvested. The image shows center-pivot irrigation systems that are 800 and 1,600 meters in diameter (0.5 and 1 mile). This area utilizes irrigation water from the Ogallala aquifer, that underlies an area from Wyoming to Texas. The image was acquired on June 24, 2001, is centered near 37.4 degrees north latitude, 100.9 degrees west longitude, and covers an area of 37.2 x 38.8 km.
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), flown aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour in February 2000, acquired elevation measurements for nearly all of Earth's landmass between 60°N and 56°S latitudes. For many areas of the world SRTM data provide the first detailed three-dimensional observation of landforms at regional scales. SRTM data were used to generate this view of the Crater Highlands along the East African Rift in Tanzania. Landforms are depicted with colored height and shaded relief, using a vertical exaggeration of 2X and a southwestwardly look direction. Lake Eyasi is depicted in blue at the top of the image, and a smaller lake occurs in Ngorongoro Crater. Near the image center, elevations peak at 3648 meters (11,968 feet) at Mount Loolmalasin, which is south of Ela Naibori Crater. Kitumbeine (left) and Gelai (right) are the two broad mountains rising from the rift lowlands. Mount Longido is seen in the lower left, and the Meto Hills are in the right foreground. Tectonics, volcanism, landslides, erosion and deposition -- and their interactions -- are all very evident in this view. The East African Rift is a zone of spreading between the African (on the west) and Somali (on the east) crustal plates. Two branches of the rift intersect here in Tanzania, resulting in distinctive and prominent landforms. One branch trends nearly parallel the view and includes Lake Eyasi and the very wide Ngorongoro Crater. The other branch is well defined by the lowlands that trend left-right across the image (below center, in green). Volcanoes are often associated with spreading zones where magma, rising to fill the gaps, reaches the surface and builds cones. Craters form if a volcano explodes or collapses. Later spreading can fracture the volcanoes, which is especially evident on Kitumbeine and Gelai Mountains (left and right, respectively, lower center). The Crater Highlands rise far above the adjacent savannas, capture moisture from passing air masses, and host rain fores
Malaspina Glacier in southeastern Alaska is considered the classic example of a piedmont glacier. Piedmont glaciers occur where valley glaciers exit a mountain range onto broad lowlands, are no longer laterally confined, and spread to become wide lobes. Malaspina Glacier is actually a compound glacier, formed by the merger of several valley glaciers, the most prominent of which seen here are Agassiz Glacier (left) and Seward Glacier (right). In total, Malaspina Glacier is up to 65 kilometers (40 miles) wide and extends up to 45 kilometers (28 miles) from the mountain front nearly to the sea. This perspective view was created from a Landsat satellite image and an elevation model generated by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Landsat views both visible and infrared light, which have been combined here into a color composite that generally shows glacial ice in light blue, snow in white, vegetation in green, bare rock in grays and tans, and the ocean (foreground) in dark blue. The back (northern) edge of the data set forms a false horizon that meets a false sky. Glaciers erode rocks, carry them down slope, and deposit them at the edge of the melting ice, typically in elongated piles called moraines. The moraine patterns at Malaspina Glacier are quite spectacular in that they have huge contortions that result from the glacier crinkling as it gets pushed from behind by the faster-moving valley glaciers. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climatic change. They can grow and thicken with increasing snowfall and/or decreased melting. Conversely, they can retreat and thin if snowfall decreases and/or atmospheric temperatures rise and cause increased melting. Landsat imaging has been an excellent tool for mapping the changing geographic extent of glaciers since 1972. The elevation measurements taken by SRTM in February 2000 now provide a near-global baseline against which future non-polar region glacial thinning or thickening can be assessed.
The night side of our planet twinkles with light, and the first thing to stand out is the cities. âNothing tells us more about the spread of humans across the Earth than city lights,â asserts Chris Elvidge, a NOAA scientist who has studied them for 20 years. This new global view of Earthâs city lights is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite. The data was acquired over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012. It took satellite 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earthâs land surface and islands. This new data was then mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery to provide a realistic view of the planet.
A graceful arc of Saharan dust is streaming off the coast of northwest Africa and sweeping out over the Atlantic Ocean and the Canary Islands in this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the Aqua satellite on February 18, 2004. Dust storms like this can be both helpful and harmful to different places and ecosystems. The dust acts like a fertilizer for ocean waters depleted of iron and other nutrients that marine plants need to grow, but it also can carry disease-causing bacteria and fungi, which damages coral reefs in the Caribbean. The dust itself can spread to North and South America and cause respiratory distress in people who are sensitive.
The city of Las Vegas, Nevada has undergone a massive growth spurt. Data from the expansion of Las Vegas was compiled from the fleet of Landsat satellites. The large red areas are actually green space, mostly golf courses and city parks. The image was created using reflected light from the near-infrared, red and green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (Landsat 5 TM bands 4,3,2 and Landsat 1-3 MSS bands 4,2,1). Landsat data have been instrumental in increasing our understanding of forest health, storm damage, agricultural trends, urban growth, and many other ongoing changes to our land.

Mens Soccer Battles Seattle U. in NCAA First Round Match Thursday
OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton men's soccer team will host Seattle University in an NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship First Round match on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT inside Morrison Stadium.
Creighton (9-8-2), who earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the 21st time in 22 seasons, battles Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Champion Seattle (10-8-4) in a first-round contest of the 48-team tournament. The winner of Thursday's match will travel to No. 2 seed Washington in Seattle for an NCAA Second Round match on Sunday at 7 p.m. CT.
The Jays came into Selection Monday at No. 29 nationally in the selection RPI released by the NCAA this week. The Bluejays' at-large selection is their first since 2010 after CU claimed Missouri Valley Conference Tournament titles resulting in automatic bids in each of its final two seasons in the league. Seattle U is at No. 123 while Washington stands at No. 2 in the latest RPI.
The Bluejays, 7-1-1 at home this season, are 11-1-0 all-time in NCAA Tournament matches played at Morrison Stadium. CU owns a 2-4-2 record against fellow 2013 NCAA Tourney teams. The Jays, with a 4-6 record over their last 10 matches, played the sixth-toughest schedule in the nation as of a Nov. 17 NCAA report. Creighton compiled a 4-5-2 mark against Top 50 RPI teams this season and did not play a match against a single team with an RPI below 127.
The Jays were one of five BIG EAST squads to make the 2013 NCAA field joining No. 6 seed Georgetown, No. 9 seed Marquette, Providence and St. John's. Creighton finished its inaugural season in the BIG EAST at 4-4-1 in conference contests and as the fifth seed in the BIG EAST Men's Soccer Championship. CU fell 2-1 at No. 4 seed Providence on Nov. 12 in a BIG EAST Quarterfinal match last time out.
After competing in back-to-back NCAA College Cups, Creighton is now 28-17-6 overall in the NCAA Tournament all-time. The Bluejays have advanced to at least the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in six of their last 10 appearances. The Jays have made five total NCAA College Cup appearances (1996, 2000, 2002, 2011 and 2012).
Elmar Bolowich is the head coach of the Bluejays. He has guided his teams to five consecutive NCAA College Cup appearances (Creighton – 2012, 2011 and North Carolina - 2010, 2009, 2008) and won a national title with the Tar Heels in 2001. This will be Bolowich's 18th NCAA Tournament appearance as a head coach.
Seattle claimed an automatic NCAA tournament bid by winning the WAC Tournament championship game over San Jose State 2-1 on Sunday in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Redhawks also claimed the regular-season WAC crown with a 7-0-3 record. Seattle is one of two squads making their NCAA tournament debut this season; Quinnipiac is the other. Creighton has never faced Seattle in men's soccer competition. CU sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike's brother, Ian, is a midfielder for the Redhawks.

Scouting the Creighton Bluejays (9-8-2, 4-4-1 BIG EAST)
Creighton earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the 21st time in 22 seasons when the NCAA announced the 48-team selections on Monday. CU hosts Seattle U in an NCAA First Round match on Thursday night. The winner of Thursday's contest will travel to Seattle to face No. 2 seed Washington on Sunday at 7 p.m. CT.
CU, 7-1-1 at home this season, is 11-1-0 all-time in NCAA Tournament matches played at Morrison Stadium. CU owns a 2-4-2 record against fellow NCAA Tourney teams this season.
The Jays were one of five BIG EAST squads to make the 2013 NCAA field joining No. 6 seed Georgetown, No. 9 seed Marquette, Providence and St. John's. Creighton ended the season in Providence with a pair of 2-1 setbacks to the Friars in the regular-season finale and a BIG EAST Tournament quarterfinal match.
All eight of CU's downfalls have been decided by a single goal this season. The Jays, with a 4-6 record over their last 10 matches, played the sixth-toughest schedule in the nation as of a Nov. 17 NCAA report. Creighton compiled a 4-5-2 mark against Top 50 RPI teams this season and did not play a match against a single team with an RPI below 127.
The Jays came into Selection Monday at No. 29 nationally in the latest NCAA RPI. The Bluejays' at-large selection is their first since 2010 after CU claimed Missouri Valley Conference Tournament titles resulting in automatic bids in each of its final two seasons in the league.
CU ranks at No. 39 nationally with 31 goals this season. The Jays rank No. 40 in total assists with 29. As a result, the Jays stand at No. 41 in the country for total points heading into the tournament.
Sophomore Timo Pitter leads the CU offense this year with seven goals and 18 points. Freshman Fabian Herbers is second on the squad with 10 points and a trio of goals. Junior Jose Ribas is third on the squad with eight points that includes six helpers. Ten Bluejays have now scored multiple goals this season.
In net, junior Alex Bolowich continues to keep the Jays in tight matches with a 1.28 goals against average this year and 60 saves. Bolowich has started 15 matches, including five overtime contests, for the Jays resulting in a 7-6-1 record. Sophomore Connor Sparrow has played in six matches with four starts for Creighton compiling a 2-2-1 record and making 15 saves on the season.
Scouting the Seattle U Redhawks (10-8-2, 7-0-3 WAC)
Seattle U will make its NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship debut against Creighton on Thursday night inside Morrison Stadium. The Redhawks are coming off of a 2-1 win over San Jose State on Sunday in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championship game.
The Redhawks have not lost since falling to then-No. 2 Washington at home 2-0 on Oct. 8, compiling an 8-0-3 record since then. As a result, SU finished as the WAC regular-season champion with a 7-0-3 ledger.
However, the beginning of the season did not go as well for SU. The Redhawks played their first six matches on the road and began the year at 0-6-1 after losing its home opener 2-1 to Georgia State on Sept. 20.
The Redhawks own a 4-6-2 record in true away games this season, but are still seeking a victory in a non-conference road contest this season. SU is 0-6-1 in seven road matches outside of the WAC this season. Like Creighton, Seattle U has played several overtime matches this season resulting in a 2-2-4 record.
SU is 0-3-0 against fellow NCAA Tournament qualifiers. The Redhawks dropped a 3-1 contest at No. 16 seed UMBC to open the season then lost to Delaware 3-2 in overtime two days later; in addition to the 2-0 loss at home to UW on Oct. 8. Seattle is No. 123 in the RPI this week which ranks lowest of the 48 squads in the tourney.
The Redhawks were picked sixth in the eight-team 2013 WAC preseason poll. Seattle finished last season at 3-13-1 overall and 1-8-1 in the now-defunct Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
SU's Miguel Gonzalez leads the Redhawk attack this season with 13 goals and 30 points on the year. Hamza Haddadi ranks second on the squad with five goals and 15 points. Goalie Jake Feener has played in all 22 matches for Seattle U this season compiling a record of 10-8-4 and a goals against average of 1.28.
Seattle U head coach Peter Fewing is in his second season with the Redhawks after coaching SU from 1988 to 2005. He led Seattle U to a 1997 NAIA National Championship and a 2004 NCAA Division II National Championship.
SU Quick Facts
Seattle University, founded in 1891, is a Jesuit Catholic university located on 50 acres in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. 7,500 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs within eight schools and colleges.

Parking Information
Men's soccer supporters who received a packet of Lot S or Lot C parking passes to Morrison Stadium prior to the season should use the one dated Thursday, Nov. 21 and marked "NCAA First Round" for entry to those areas.
Looking Ahead
Should Creighton win its first-round contest, it would set up a second-round match with the No. 2 seed Washington (14-1-4) Huskies for the second consecutive season. Last year CU defeated UW 4-2 in a second-round match at Morrison Stadium after the Huskies defeated Air Force in a first-round contest. Washington claimed its first Pac-12 title since 2000 on Sunday.
Current UW head coach Jamie Clark coached one season at Creighton in 2010 before moving on to Seattle. Clark went 13-5-2 with the Jays and claimed the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title that year. CU is 6-2 all-time against Washington with a 2-1 record in Seattle. Creighton fell 3-0 at Washington in the schools' first NCAA meeting in 2006.
NCAA Tournament History
Creighton is making its 21st NCAA Tournament appearance, all in the past 22 seasons (missed in 2009). CU is 28-17-6 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. The 2012 season marked the Bluejays' fifth College Cup appearance overall and the first back-to-back appearances in program history. The Jays have now won at least two NCAA
Tournament matches in nine of their 21 trips.
The Jays are 18-7-5 in their last 10 appearances, advancing to the quarterfinals on six occasions since 2002.
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 fifth College Cup in program history in 2012 after their fourth appearance in 2011.
CU Coaches' Quarter
Creighton fans could see some familiar faces in the postseason should the Bluejays advance in the NCAA Tournament as the most recent three coaches to roam the CU sideline are all clustered in the same quarter of the bracket.
Joining current Bluejay head coach Elmar Bolowich, who is making his 18th NCAA Tournament appearance, are former Creighton head coaches Jamie Clark of Washington and Bob Warming of Penn State. Bolowich has led CU to consecutive College Cups in his first two seasons at the helm and is 47-14-6 in three seasons in Omaha.
Creighton could face Clark's squad in Seattle on Sunday with a victory on Thursday. Clark coached one season at Creighton in 2010 before moving on to Seattle. Clark went 13-5-2 with the Jays and claimed the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title that year.
It would take a quarterfinal match for CU to face Warming and his Nittany Lion squad. Penn State hosts a first round match Thursday against St. Francis Brooklyn. Warming and PSU would have to win at No. 15 UCSB and possibly at No. 7 New Mexico to set up the match.
Warming coached 14 seasons at Creighton, compiling 190 wins and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances with the Jays.
Bolowich and the College Cup
CU head coach Elmar Bolowich is among six coaches who have appeared in five straight College Cups but is the only coach of the six to do so with two different schools.
The 2012 season marked his sixth overall appearance in the College Cup, joining eight other coaches that have reached six Cups. Of those nine coaches with at least six appearances, Bolowich and Bob Guelker (SIUE and Saint Louis) are the only coaches to take two different teams to the College Cup.
PKs Sometimes Not OK
Creighton has bowed out of the NCAAs on the wrong side of a PK result in two of the last three seasons. The Jays fell in a 2011 College Cup semifinal to Charlotte in a penalty kick setback. Creighton's 2011 campaign came to an end on a 4-1 shootout loss to the 49ers after a scoreless draw.
The Jays bowed out of a 2010 NCAA Second Round match at SMU. The Mustangs advanced 5-3 on PKs after a 2-2 tie in Dallas.
However, the tide may be turning for Creighton. Prior to the Jays' 5-4 shootout win at Akron following a 1-1 tie on Nov. 25 in a 2012 NCAA Third Round match, the last time CU advanced on PKs in the NCAA Tournament was Nov. 26, 2003 - a 5-3 win over San Diego. As a result, CU evened its record at 3-3 in NCAA matches decided by PKs.
Inaugural BIG EAST Season Review
Creighton ended its conference season in Providence with a pair of 2-1 setbacks to the Friars in the regular-season finale and a BIG EAST Tournament quarterfinal match.
CU never dipped below the .500 mark in conference and has toggled between wins and losses over the last five league matches. Overall, Creighton won three of its last five regular-season matches after a three-game scoreless drought in mid-October.
CU was 3-1 at home in BIG EAST matches beginning with a 1-0 overtime defeat of St. John's in its conference debut (Sept. 21), a 2-0 win over Xavier (Oct. 5) a 1-0 overtime setback to Villanova (Oct. 19) and a 5-1 victory over DePaul (Nov. 2) on Senior Day.
The Bluejays' road record in conference can be deceiving at 1-3-1 this season. All three losses were settled by a single goal. In fact the only two matches not decided by a single goal or less this year were CU victories over Xavier (2-0) and DePaul (5-1) at home.
Creighton finished 2-2-1 against the fellow 2013 BIG EAST tournament teams. The Jays tied No. 1 seed Georgetown in Washington D.C., lost at No. 2 Marquette and at No. 4 Providence while defeating No. 3 Xavier 2-0 at home and No. 6 Butler 3-2 on the road.
Creighton was 2-6-1 in true road contests this season including a 1-3-1 mark in conference.
Seven Bluejays claimed a spot on All-BIG EAST Teams this fall following the regular season. CU senior Zach Barnes earned All-BIG EAST First Team Honors. Junior Jose Ribas along with sophomores Brendan Hines-Ike and Timo Pitter claimed All-BIG EAST Second Team accolades. CU senior Bruno Castro won All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention recognition. Creighton freshmen Fabian Herbers and Ricardo Perez secured spots on the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.
Tough Slate
Creighton is the No. 29 team in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) last updated today, as a reflection of the Jays' extremely tough schedule this season. In fact the NCAA rates the Jays' strength of schedule at No. 6 entering the NCAA Tournament.
Seventeen of Creighton's 19 opponents, including Providence a second time in the conference quarterfinal, this year were among the top 76 in the latest RPI that ranks all 203 NCAA Division I squads. In other words the Bluejays' schedule has consisted of almost one-fourth of the top 64 teams in the nation. Seven of those schools also received bids into the NCAA Tournament.
Seven of the 10 programs in the BIG EAST conference rank among the top 47 in the RPI this week.
Creighton ended a string of contests that began in late September in which the Jays faced seven squads in a row that had advanced to the 2012 NCAA Tournament last season in a span of just under a month. CU completed that arduous stretch with a mark of 2-3-2.
Creighton is 2-1-1 against teams ranked in the top 25 at the time of the match including wins over then-No. 14 Tulsa and then-No. 7 St. John's to go with a tie at then-No. 12 Georgetown. CU fell at No. 22 Saint Louis 1-0 on Oct. 2.
Goal Explosion
Since a CU scoreless streak of over 367 minutes last month, the Bluejays' offense has found a spark by scoring 14 goals over the last six matches. The fourteen tallies account for slightly less than half of CU's offensive scoring this season of 31 total goals.
In a convincing 5-1 victory over DePaul on Nov. 2, the Bluejays' five tallies marked the most scored by CU since a 5-0 victory at UMKC on Aug. 31, 2011. CU scored three first-half goals to roll over the Blue Demons.
The week prior the Jays scored three goals after halftime to knock off Butler, the most tallies since the second stanza of the Bluejays' 4-2 victory over Washington in an NCAA Second Round match in Omaha last Nov. 18.
Jays Rank Fifth in Attendance
With 26,752 fans attending matches this season, Creighton ranks fifth nationally in raw attendance according to latest numbers from the NCAA on Monday. The Jays move up to second in average attendance at 2,952 only behind UC Santa Barbara (3,648).
Over 5,200 fans witnessed Creighton's 1-0 double-overtime defeat of No. 7 St. John's in the Jays' BIG EAST debut on Sept. 21 at Morrison Stadium. The crowd of 5,282 ranked as the sixth-largest crowd ever to attend a collegiate match at the Bluejays' home.
The total edged out a contingent of 5,102 Bluejay faithful that witnessed CU defeat Columbia 3-1 earlier this season on Sept. 6. With the win, Creighton is now 5-7-1 in front of 5,000-plus fans since 2000.
At then-No. 22 Saint Louis on Oct. 2, 3,070 fans packed Hermann Stadium to watch the Bluejays battle the Billikens. It marked the largest crowd in a regular-season true road contest to see the Jays play since 5,648 fans saw CU visit then-No. 3 Maryland on Sept. 30, 2011.
Last year on Sept. 14, then-No. 2 Creighton fell 2-1 to then-No. 14 Old Dominion in front of 6,848 fans – the top home crowd all-time at Morrison Stadium.
CU Defense vs. the BIG EAST
Creighton allowed just 10 goals through its first BIG EAST season.
CU blanked its first three league foes including Xavier 2-0 on Oct. 5. Earlier CU tied then-No. 12 Georgetown in a scoreless draw on Sept. 28. The Jays knocked off then-No. 7 St. John's 1-0 in double overtime a week prior on Sept. 21.
On Oct. 23, Butler was the first BIG EAST squad to score multiple goals on the Bluejays this season. Then three days later, Seton Hall became the first BIG EAST squad to post three goals against CU. Providence registered a pair of goals against CU on Nov. 8.
That slew of six goals followed just one score against CU in each of its prior two league contests - a 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova on Oct. 19 and a 1-0 setback at Marquette on Oct. 12. DePaul also converted a single score on a controversial penalty kick on Nov. 2.
The Jays have allowed only 14 total goals to conference foes in the past three seasons, with 12 of the 14 occurring on the road.
Creighton's 1-0 overtime loss to Villanova Oct. 19 snapped a 12-match CU unbeaten streak at Morrison Stadium dating back to last fall when the Bluejays fell 3-1 to Saint Louis on Sept. 22. After two victories to end the home slate, Creighton is now 13-1-1 in its last 15 home matches.
The downfall to VU marked the first home loss in a conference match inside Morrison Stadium in almost three years - since a 2-1 loss to Bradley on Nov. 6, 2010.
CU is 11-1-0 against conference foes at home since then – including 10 consecutive shutout victories before the loss to the Wildcats.
The Bluejays' 1-0 double-overtime victory over No. 7 St. John's on Sept. 21 lifted Creighton's record to 22-3-2 all-time against Top 25 opponents visiting Morrison Stadium.
Going the Distance
After playing a 0-0 tie at No. 12 Georgetown on Sept. 28, the Bluejays set a new program record by playing in in five consecutive double overtime contests.
Jays Claim Program Win No. 400
Creighton secured the program's 400th all-time victory on Sept. 21 after a 1-0 double-overtime decision against No. 7 St. John's. The Jays currently boast an all-time record of 404-162-60 since their first season in 1979.
Thrilling BIG EAST Debut
The Bluejays claimed a 1-0 double overtime victory in their BIG EAST conference debut against No. 7 St. John's on Sept. 21 inside Morrison Stadium. Creighton stands at 2-0 all-time in conference debuts; the Jays edged Bradley 2-1 in their Missouri Valley Conference opener on Oct. 18, 1991.
Cutting It Close
Creighton's 2-1 loss at Providence on Nov. 12 marked the Jays' 11th one-goal decision to go along with two ties this season. CU is 15-10 in games decided by one goal since the beginning of 2012. All eight of CU's losses this year are by a single goal.
Creighton is 2-2-2 in overtime matches this season following a 1-0 downfall to Villanova on Oct. 19, a scoreless tie at then-No. 12 Georgetown, a 2-2 tie versus Michigan State and 1-0 victory over then-No. 7 St. John's in September.
CU suffered a 3-2 setback to William & Mary and clinched a 2-1 win at Old Dominion earlier this season at the Stihl Classic, both in overtime. The Jays went undefeated at 3-0-3 in extra time last season.
One Goal to Nil
Following CU's 1-0 setback against Villanova on Oct. 19, Creighton has won 13 of its previous 18 matches ending in a 1-0 score, including a 7-1 ledger in 2012 contests.
Recent Overtime Perfection Halted
Prior to the 3-2 setback to William & Mary on Sept. 15, the Jays had not suffered an overtime loss in 16 matches dating back to a 3-2 setback in extra time to SMU on Sept. 17, 2010, at the Hotels at Grand Prairie Classic.
Before the overtime loss to William & Mary, Creighton boasted a 10-0-6 overtime record since that 2010 match, including the victory over Old Dominion on Sept. 13. The Jays had kept opponents scoreless in overtime for over 234 straight minutes before the Tribe scored its game winner.
Jays Achieve No. 1 Ranking for the First Time in 14 Years
Following a 3-1 victory over Columbia on Sept. 6, Creighton became the top squad in the nation according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released Sept. 10.
It marked the Jays' first time back in the top spot since September 1999. Creighton ranked as high as No. 2 in each of the past three seasons, including earlier this fall.
Jays' History When Perched at No. 1
After a 1-1 split against host Old Dominion and William & Mary at the Stihl Classic Sept. 13-15, Creighton now boasts a 9-2-1 record all-time as the top-ranked team in the NSCAA poll. After a double-overtime setback to the Tribe, the Bluejays dropped four spots to No. 5 in the rankings.
The Bluejays went 1-0-1 after achieving the top ranking in the Sept. 15, 1999 poll. CU defeated Harvard 6-0 before tying Boston University 1-1 a day later. The tie dropped the Jays to No. 3 the following week.
Creighton's longest run at No. 1 occurred in 1993 when the Bluejays spent the final five weeks of the regular season in the top spot. CU finished the regular season undefeated at 19-0 including seven consecutive victories while ranked No. 1. The Jays suffered a heart-breaking four-overtime 2-1 loss to Air Force in the first round of the NCAA Tournament that season to halt the streak.
Pitter Claims BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week Honors
Creighton sophomore Timo Pitter claimed Offensive Player of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, the league office announced Nov. 4. Sophomore Eric DeJulio also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
The Oberschwarzach, Germany native tallied six points last week en route to the honor. Pitter scored two goals, including the game winner, in a 5-1 victory over DePaul on Saturday. Earlier in the week Pitter assisted on both Bluejay goals in a 2-0 win over Drake. He currently leads the team with seven goals and 18 points this season.
Pitter's accolade marks the first Offensive Player of the Week honor by any Bluejay this season. The weekly conference award is his first since he claimed Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors last November. He has appeared on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll for his efforts on three previous times this year in weeks one, two and nine.
The honor roll achievement collected by DeJulio marks his first accolade from the BIG EAST. A Bluejay has claimed a spot on the conference weekly honor roll in seven of ten weeks this season.
DeJulio scored his first goal of the season versus Drake, the second of his career, for the game-winning score. He played all 180 minutes on defense for the Jays. DeJulio and his fellow defenders combined to allow just one goal over two matches last week.
Two Jays Earn Recognition from BIG EAST
Sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike claimed Defensive Player of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, the league office announced Sept. 30. Senior Bruno Castro also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
It marks the first Defensive Player of the Week honor for Hines-Ike and third defensive accolade awarded to a Bluejay by the conference this season. Junior Eric Miller claimed recognition in two of the first four weeks for Creighton.
Hines-Ike won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after helping to anchor the Creighton backline against Michigan State and at No. 12 Georgetown. He played all 220 minutes in the Jays' pair of double-overtime contests against the Spartans and Hoyas. Hines-Ike and the defense led Creighton to its second blanking of a BIG EAST foe to begin the conference slate. The Denver native has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record four shutouts through eight matches.
The honor roll achievement collected by Castro marks his first accolade from the BIG EAST. A Bluejay has claimed a spot on the conference weekly honor roll in four of the first five weeks this season.
Castro earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after scoring his second goal of the season as part of a three-point night in a 2-2 tie against Michigan State last week. The Costa Rica native connected on a header from 15 yards out against MSU to record the final score of the match. Castro also made an assist on the Jays' first goal against the Spartans.
Three Jays Claim BIG EAST Weekly Honors
CU junior Eric Miller and freshman Fabian Herbers claimed Defensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, respectively, the league announced Sept. 23. Junior Alex Bolowich also claimed a spot on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.
It marks the second Defensive Player of the Week honor for Miller this season and Herbers' first accolade from the conference. The honor roll recognition gained by Bolowich follows a Goalkeeper of the Week honor awarded earlier this season.
Herbers scored the lone goal of the match off of a free kick at 108:05 in a double overtime against No. 7 St. John's to secure Creighton's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. It marked his second goal of the season, both game-winners. Herbers is currently second on the team with two goals and eight points on the season.
Herbers also earned a spot on the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week for his game-winning goal on a free kick against the Red Storm.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline against No. 7 St. John's, helping the Bluejays record the team's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. He played all 108 minutes in the double overtime victory over St. John's. Miller has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record four shutouts through nine matches.
Bolowich earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after recording his third shutout of the season and second shutout of a ranked opponent. Bolowich made three saves in the victory over No. 7 St. John's.
Miller, Bolowich Earn BIG EAST Weekly Honors after Opening Weekend
Creighton juniors Eric Miller and Alex Bolowich claimed Defensive Player of the Week and Goalkeeper of the Week honors from the BIG EAST, respectively, the league announced on Sept. 2.
The weekly conference honor bestowed solely on athletic performance is a career first for both Miller and Bolowich. The classmates each claimed a scholar-athlete weekly award a season ago. The weekly awards are the first given to Creighton men's soccer student-athletes by the BIG EAST.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline on the opening weekend, helping the Bluejays record a pair of shutout wins over No. 14 Tulsa (2-0) and Cal Poly (3-0). He also scored a rare goal, just the second of his career in Omaha, against Cal Poly on a redirected header from freshman Fabian Herbers.
Bolowich shined for Creighton in the pair of shutouts to open the 2013 season to claim BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week accolades. Bolowich blanked No. 14 Tulsa in the Jays' opener with seven saves. He played only the first half against Cal Poly, making two stops.
Herbers Earns Team of Week Nod in First Outing
CU freshman Fabian Herbers claimed a spot on TopDrawerSoccer's Team of the Week, released Sept. 3, after posting four points for the Jays on the opening weekend. He helped Creighton record a pair of wins with a goal and two assists. Herbers' first career goal as a Bluejay was the game winner against No. 14 Tulsa. He also made two assists against Cal Poly.
California Dreaming
After blanking Cal Poly 3-0 on Sept. 1, Creighton improved its record to 16-0-3 against California-based schools in its last 19 meetings. The Jays won both matches against teams from the Golden State in 2012 defeating both Santa Clara and Saint Mary's by 1-0 margins. Creighton's last loss to a team from California came on Sept. 7, 2003, a 2-1 double overtime loss at Loyola Marymount.
Starting the Season Off Right
• After a 2-0 shutout of Tulsa, Creighton is unbeaten in its last seven season-opening matches, going 5-0-2 in those contests.
• Creighton has allowed one total goal to its last five season-opening opponents. Northern Illinois scored the lone goal last year after three years of shutouts.
BIG EAST Preseason Honors
The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected No. 2 Creighton to place second in the 2013 preseason poll the behind fellow 2012 College Cup participant, No. 11 Georgetown.
CU junior Eric Miller and sophomore Timo Pitter were also named to the preseason All‐BIG EAST Team.

Longtime film critic Roger Ebert has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 70 years old.
Ebert reviewed movies for the Chicago Sun-Time for 46 years and on TV for 31 years, most famously with fellow critic Gene Siskel (who died in 1999) and their "thumbs up, thumbs down" rating system. After Siskel's death, Ebert was joined by Richard Roeper.
Ebert battled cancers of the thyroid and salivary gland, losing part of his lower jaw in 2006.
Ebert won a Pulitzer Prize and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Just two days ago, Ebert went on a "leave of presence" from the Sun-Times, writing:
"What in the world is a leave of presence? It means I am not going away. My intent is to continue to write selected reviews but to leave the rest to a talented team of writers handpicked and greatly admired by me. What's more, I'll be able at last to do what I've always fantasized about doing: reviewing only the movies I want to review.
It really stinks that the cancer has returned and that I have spent too many days in the hospital. So on bad days I may write about the vulnerability that accompanies illness. On good days, I may wax ecstatic about a movie so good it transports me beyond illness.
So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I'll see you at the movies."
His wife, Chaz, released this statement:
"I am devastated by the loss of my love, Roger -- my husband, my friend, my confidante and oh-so-brilliant partner of over 20 years. He fought a courageous fight. I've lost the love of my life and the world has lost a visionary and a creative and generous spirit who touched so many people all over the world. We had a lovely, lovely life together, more beautiful and epic than a movie. It had its highs and the lows, but was always experienced with good humor, grace and a deep abiding love for each other.
Roger was a beloved husband, stepfather to Sonia and Jay, and grandfather to Raven, Emil, Mark and Joseph. Just yesterday he was saying how his grandchildren were "the best things in my life." He was happy and radiating satisfaction over the outpouring of responses to his blog about his 46th year as a film critic. But he was also getting tired of his fight with cancer, and said if this takes him, he has lived a great and full life.
We were getting ready to go home today for hospice care, when he looked at us, smiled, and passed away. No struggle, no pain, just a quiet, dignified transition.
We are touched by all the kindness and the outpouring of love we've received. And I want to echo what Roger said in his last blog, thank you for going on this journey with us."Our deepest condolences to his friends and family. We'll see you at the movies, Roger.

(NEWS CENTER) -- Earlier this week, Governor Paul LePage told an audience in Bangor that he couldn't argue with editors at Forbes Magazine who ranked Maine deal last when it comes to creating a business friendly environment.
Also, democrats in the Legislature are looking to create a committee that will focus on the problem many businesses in Maine say they have -- finding workers with the skills necessary to fill the jobs that those companies still have vacant.
We talk with NEWS CENTER political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about those topics and ask them what they would like to see their parties get for Christmas.

Lois first danced with her husband Dale A. Jones in 1942 at Los Gatos High School in California. She died Sunday, leaving Dale without his loving dance partner for the first time in almost seven decades.
Lois and Dale found each other again when World War II ended and married on Aug. 28, 1948. They moved to Logan after their wedding where Dale completed his studies in Wildlife Management. A wise Utah State professor told Dale that the key to a successful career is a willing wife. He was so right! She was his devoted partner in everything he did, beginning with his first job at the Price Game Farm under the leadership of Rhy Hiatt. Their next two moves were to Cedar City and Murray. While Dale was getting paid for doing what he loved, Lois raised three wonderful children. Born first was Darlene Ellen in Cedar City; then came Derris Russell in Murray; and their last baby was Del Leonard, also born in Murray.
Dale's career took a turn from the Utah Game and Fish Department to the U.S. Forest Service in 1957. The family moved several times about the country, but there was never a whimper from Lois, who always got left behind to sell a house and care for the kids. She was the backbone of the family. She loved the outdoors and the Jones family hunted, fished and backpacked into some of God's greatest creations. Lois taught herself to paint in oils and was so proud when she sold her first painting on a beach in Mazatlan, Mexico.
When the kids grew up, moved away and had their own families, Lois became an ombudsman at nursing homes. She took the job to heart. A Type 1 diabetic for forty years, she kept her blood sugar under control. A stroke in 2006 was the culprit that kept her from enjoying the life she wanted to live and it became Dale's turn to take care of her.
Lois leaves behind a loving family: husband Dale of 63 years; daughter Darlene and her husband Ray Rollins; son Derris, his wife Stacey and daughters Dusti, Dena, and Mikayla; son Del, his wife Dianna, daughter Ciera and son Douglas; brother Raymond Wolfe and his wife Barbara. Lois was preceded in death my her mother, father and brother Russell Wolfe.
A memorial is being planned for sometime in the future. When Dale passes, his ashes will be mixed with hers so that they can dance again. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the American Diabetes Association or the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome to share memories of Lois at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

ArtisTalk: Doris Salcedo
Presented by Harvard Art Museums at Harvard Art Museums/Arthur M. Sackler Museum
April 23, 2013
Doris Salcedo, in conversation with Mary Schneider Enriquez, Houghton Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums
Doris Salcedo's sculptures and installations address the continuing oppression and violence plaguing not only her native Columbia but societies throughout the world. Her art often incorporates domestic furniture, giving a material presence to the unsettling absence and to the haunting pain that endures in those who survive. Salcedo will discuss how her work weaves together the poetic, the political, and the philosophical with those violent events that mark daily life for so many. Her current exhibition, Plegaria Muda ("Mute Prayer"), has travelled to ?ve museums, in Mexico City; Malmo, Sweden; Lisbon; Rome; and Sao Paulo. Salcedo continues to live and work in Bogota, Columbia.
The ArtisTalk lecture series for 2012–13 focuses on Art in Public Space—a timely subject as the Harvard Art Museums consider the reinstallation of the enhanced 32 Quincy Street building. Speakers include contemporary artists from Latin America, Europe, and the United States whose work engages viewers in public settings of varying scale and conditions—enclosed or open, vast or intimate—and in visual practices of various means—from performance to painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, and ?lm. The lectures will include conversations with the artists, who will discuss issues of place, scale, and performative aspects of their work, among other ideas.
A reception and open galleries will follow.
Free admission.
Limited complimentary parking at Broadway Garage, 7 Felton Street.
The M. Victor Leventritt Fund was established through the generosity of the wife, children, and friends of the late M. Victor Leventritt, Harvard Class of 1935. The purpose of the fund is to present outstanding scholars of the history and theory of art to the Harvard and Greater Boston communities.
Modern and contemporary art programs are made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer Jr. Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums.

Director Robert Aldrich (The Longest Yard) re-unites with Burt Reynolds for this hard-edged neo-noir. Lieutenant Phil Gaines (Reynolds) is a cynical Los Angeles police detective amorously involved with an icewater-veined Parisian call girl, Nicole Britton (Catherine Deneuve). On the job, he begins to investigate the shady death of a teenage girl that appears to lead straight to Leo Sellers (Eddie Albert), an attorney with a frightening number of connections. The problem is, Nicole herself has a direct connection to the case - Leo is one of her clients. Meanwhile, Marty Hollinger (Ben Johnson), the victim's father, decides to undertake a grassroots investigation of his own - little realizing that his seemingly murdered daughter was in up to her neck with prostitution, porno movie acting, and dancing as a stripper, facts which suggest that she may have offed herself.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

A man charged in the slayings of two Winter Park High School teens rejected a plea deal on Friday of 30 years of prison.
Hector Rodriguez, 32, one of two men charged in the slayings of 16-year-old Nicholas Presha and 18-year-old Jeremy Stewart -- along the Cady Way Trail on April 15. Jesse Davis pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison in November 2012.
Rodriguez was originally expected to take the state's plea deal of second-degree murder, but rejected it on Friday. The state said if Rodriguez didn't take the plea deal on Friday it would be off the table and he would face first-degree murder charges.
Rodriguez came face-to-face with the victims' family members, who were upset with Rodriguez refusing the pleas deal.
Afterwards, the judge held a brief Nelson hearing because Rodriguez said he was unhappy with his representation. Rodriguez said he can't understand the English language well and requested an interpreter, but by the end of the hearing, he appeared to change his mind.
Rodriguez faces a maximum of six consecutive life sentences in the case.
