Gainesville, FL, United States (4E Sports) – Florida Gators senior forward Will Yeguete underwent debridement procedure to clean up his right knee at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville.

His recovery is projected to take four months.

It is the second debridement procedure he has had on the knee in the past four months to remove damaged tissue and for repair.

He missed five games in February after the first procedure.

The 6-foot-7, 247-pound Yeguete is the Gators’ top interior defender and key player in its full-court press.

He averaged 5.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 31 games last season.

“DEP conducted a detailed and comprehensive review of the Flatirons’ application,” DEP Deputy Secretary for Oil and Gas Management Scott Perry said.  “We worked with the community, the drilling company, local government officials and representatives to address their concerns.”

The new permit authorizes Flatirons to drill a well on the same pad as a previously drilled well. The Flatirons 1H gas well, which has been in production since 2011, is located in the Rattlesnake Creek watershed on property owned by the Brockway Borough Municipal Authority.

During the drilling of the Flatirons 1H gas well, pressure in the aquifer fell, causing a temporary disruption in the flow of one of the authority’s water wells. Once the driller finished setting the casing on the gas well, flow was restored to the water well within 28 hours and there was no impact to water quality.

Flatirons must follow an aquifer protection plan that will include additional protective measures during the drilling and completion of this well, including under balanced drilling technology, detailed casing and cementing, water quality sampling and monitoring and green completion flowback procedures. This permit will allow drilling to resume in the area safely and responsibly.

Toronto, ON, Canada (4E Sports) – Toronto Blue Jays’ J.A. Happ is eligible to return by early July from skull fracture, contusions that required stitches and a sprained right knee suffered when he was hit by a line drive earlier this month.

He was hoping for a mid-June return but the Blue Jays moved Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said the decision was not due to a setback in the rehabilitation process, but because Happ’s knee is still sore.

“The doctors and everybody don’t feel he’ll be ready before that, otherwise we wouldn’t have done it,” Gibbons said.

Happ was hit on the left ear by a shot back to the mound from the bat of Tampa Bay’s Desmond Jennings during a May 7 game in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Happ’s head injuires are healing, and his estimated 30 percent hearing loss has since improved. “I can hear everything pretty good,” he said. “I feel like it’s close to being back to normal.”

But the 30-year-old pitcher said he still has trouble walking and hasn’t started running yet. He has been waiting to get fitted for a knee brace that will permit him to resume throwing.

South Bend, IN, United States (4E Sports) – Kansas coach Charlie Weis received a buyout payment of $2,054,744 from Notre Dame in 2011 as part of the agreement for his 2009 firing.

That gives the former Notre Dame coach more compensation from the school in 2011 than current Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, who received $1,088,179 from the school from July 2011 to June 2012.

Weis received the same amount for the 2010 season — in addition to the initial payment of $6,638,403 after his firing.

With the school scheduled for additional annual payments through December 2015, Weis could receive a total of $18,966,867 from Notre Dame, following four more payments of the same $2 million-plus figure from each of the past two seasons.
