I love this birth video. Mom is so calm and confident despite the fact she is pushing before the midwife gets there.
Here is the background.
- 6th Baby
- Liz used Hypnobabies.
- Midwife Called around 1 AM
- This video was taken around 2 AM a few minutes before midwife arrives.
It was so incredible, feeling his head after the water broke, then seeing his head when I pushed it out, then holding his whole body as it came out. What an incredible way to be totally and completely connected to my baby and my body, and doing it all completely by myself was so incredible! I just really can't describe how it felt other than completely natural and right!
From the minute I stepped in the tub not a single fear or doubt even entered my mind, I was so assured and confident. It was like someone else stepped into my body, someone who had done this hundreds of times. It was so perfect, so amazing, truly such a miracle!
You can read Liz's complete birth story here. It is inspirational!

That was so incredible! I have never seen such a calm and empowering birth! Thank you for the inspiration.

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) (ISSN 2161-0002) was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization to provide open access to detailed, scholarly information on key topics and philosophers in all areas of philosophy. The Encyclopedia receives no funding, and operates through the volunteer work of the editors, which consists of editors, authors, volunteers, and technical advisers. At present the IEP is visited by over 500,000 persons per month.
Most of the articles in The IEP are original contributions by specialized philosophers; these are identifiable by the author's name at the foot of the article. Others are temporary, or "proto articles," and have largely been adapted from older sources. They are identifiable by the inclusion of the initials "IEP" at the close and will in time be replaced by original articles.

The conservatives hate anybody who isn't a conservative. They will not cooperate with anyone except one of their own. They don't care about America--certainly they don't care about the principles on which it was founded. They care only about power and wealth. They have their own media empire making up stories, leading the cheers, and pounding home the propaganda in shorter and shorter sound bytes for their knuckle dragging supporters. I am disappointed in Obama, but I'm also disappointed with the Blue Dog Democrats who stood in his way. A unified democratic party should have simply tried to roll back all the changes the Bushies made. The GOP is unified. I don't know if they get their marching orders from the RNC or Rupert Murdoch, but they are marching in step. Obama and his party have squandered their turn in power, and they may not get another. Still, if he is the nominee next time around, I will vote for him and work for his campaign because either a Democrat or a Republican will win, and the Republicans will roll back the New Deal if they can.

OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener Service On Local Computer Started And Then Stopped
While doing some testing of Oracle on a Windows 7 computer I stopped the TNS Listener service also known as OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener. The problem is when I attempted to restart the service it would not start. While testing various other things I had made numerous changes so I started looking into what might cause the issue and was pretty confident that the $ORACLE_HOME variable I set within the Windows Environment Variables was probably the culprit. Below I describe more details about the error as well as how I resolved the TNS Listener not being able to start.

IPOB attack: Address issues causing agitations among Nigerians, PDP tells Buhari
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the attack on Ike Ekweremadu, ex-senate president, by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Ekweremadu was attacked by some members of IPOB on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.
In a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesperson, the party said the attack on the former senate president was unprovoked and cannot be justified.
It added that the "assault" does not portray Nigeria in a good way.
The opposition party, therefore, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address issues causing agitations among Nigeria.
"The PDP amply notes that the former deputy senate president was attending the 2nd Igbo Annual Festival in Germany where he was duly scheduled as a speaker and a special guest of honour when he was attacked," the statement said.
"The party insists that the attack on Senator Ekweremadu was uncalled for, unprovoked and cannot be justified under any guise whatsoever.
"Such assault on a leader is completely unacceptable and does not portray our nation in proper light.
"The PDP therefore charges the Nigerian Ambassador to Germany as well as the German government to take appropriate decisive action on the matter.
"The party also urges the Federal Government, particularly, the National Assembly, to take urgent comprehensive step to address issues leading to acts of resentment and agitations by Nigerians within and outside the country in the last four years, under President Muhammadu Buhari's misrule."
Before the end of Buhari's 'next level', Nigeria will become five countries — Fani Kayode
It's not the best of times for Nigeria's unity and it takes no gimmick to understand this. The country is completely polarized, and the Buhari administration is not doing enough to improve the mood in the country
The Buhari administration has been accused of acting as though the country is under military rule. There's also the policy aspect that clearly shows the Buhari administration is not in tune with the yearnings of the masses.
Protests are already being held as a sign that Nigerians are beginning take their fates into their own hands. And should the Buhari administration fail to listen to the voices of the masses, Fani Kayode says Nigeria may end up splitting into two or more pieces.
The things that I am hearing about @MBuhari's plans leaves me with only one conclusion: by the time this dance is over Nigeria is likely to have broken into between two to five pieces.
Thanks to our President, a few years from now we may not have a Nigeria left!

He says, the things that I am hearing about Buhari's plans leaves me with only one conclusion: by the time this dance is over Nigeria is likely to have broken into between two to five pieces.
He then concluded his tweet by saying, "Thanks to our President, a few years from now we may not have a Nigeria left!"
Whether or not Fani Kayode is exaggerating remains to be seen, but the current state of the nation seem to be pointing toward what the elites especially from the north, have been fighting very hard to avoid. And that is the eventual disintegration of the country.
Ekweremadu's attack is un-Igbo – Abaribe
The senator representing Abia-South senatorial district, Enyinnaya Abaribe has condemned the attack on the former deputy senate president, Dr Ike Ekweremadu by members identified as the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Abaribe, who along with two other sureties bailed Nnamdi kanu, frowned at the incident that happened yesterday at Nuremberg, Germany, noting that it was un-Igbo for IPOB members in Germany to treat Ekweremadu that way.
His words, "Obviously this is not how to repay a man, an outstanding leader of men, an unpretentious Igbo leader. "He has given his all even going as far as deploying his means to arrange for the bail of Nnamdi Kanu, not minding the repercussions to his illustrious political career. "It is unfortunate. The perpetrators of the attack should know that as the Igbo, we respect elders and reverence our leaders. "The unwarranted attack is not the character of the Igbo. This is un-Igbo. "It is most worrisome and even inconceivable that the attackers will choose an auspicious occasion where our people are celebrating and showcasing our rich culture to exhibit such unbecoming and condemnable conduct in the name of agitation. "No, that was not agitation, no right thinking human will identify with such behaviour.
to. "Resorting to mob mentality and venting the spleen on our leaders rather creates a vacuum that will leave our people helpless and confused in the circumstance", he said.
LESSONS FROM NUREMBERG, by Fani-Kayode
What happened to my friend and brother Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany at the hands of IPOB is an eye-opener and a clear signal to every political leader in southern Nigeria! The people of the south are getting angry and you either stand up and defend them or stand aside!
It takes courage to stand for those that have been unjustly killed in Nigeria. It takes courage to say "no" and to stand up against injustice in a jungle. It takes courage to identify and empathise with the enslaved, the oppressed, the poor, the vulnerable and the weak in a killing field and functional zoo.
Yet we must all do it or stop laying claim to being called leaders. When your people and kinsmen are being turned into worthless slaves with little hope for the future and when they are being slaughtered like flies simply because they are southerners and Middle Belters or because of their faith and you say and do next to nothing then somewhere along the line a price has to be paid.
What happened in Nuremberg yesterday marks the beginning of an awakening. Every southern politician, including yours truly, will be called to account to the people of the south about what he or she did to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing of southerners in Buhari's Nigeria.
If anyone believes that it is only IPOB or the people of the South-East that feel so bitter then they really do not know what is going on. The sons and daughters of the Niger Delta, the South-South and the South-West are equally aggrieved. The anger is palpable and it is spreading throughout the south.
As each day passes those of us, like Ike Ekweremadu, that have called for patience and restraint are being seen as traitors and sell-outs by our own people who demand a far more candid, courageous, proactive, dynamic, honest, protective and inspirational form of leadership.
Only God knows for how much longer those of us that are moderates and that believe in non-violent and passive resistance can hold the line. Our people are boiling and they are about to kindle a fire that may consume us all if something is not done to appease them and give them hope.
I call on President Muhammadu Buhari to shed his cloak of partiality, to put Nigeria before his Fulani tribe, to stop the genocide, mass murder and ethnic cleansing, to remove the Fulani herdsmen from the south and the Middle Belt, to proscribe Miyetti Allah and the Fulani militants, to declare them as terrorists and enemies of the Nigerian state and to protect the lives of EVERY Nigerian from this great evil that has tormented our people and torn us apart.
The fact that Ekweremadu wore a shirt which was covered with the Nigerian Coat of Arms and that it was torn to shreds by those that attacked him is instructive. It may also prove to be prophetic.
I say this because the assertion that Nigeria must and will remain one regardless of the humiliation, persecution, marginalisation, subjugation, barbarity, wickedness and torment that the south has been subjected to over the last 59 years and particularly over the last four years by those that believe that they were born to rule is, at best, misplaced and naive and, at worse, shallow and asinine.
How can Nigeria possibly remain one when every single one of the 17 security and intelligence agencies in the country and every arm of the Nigerian military except for the Navy is headed by a northern Muslim?
How can Nigeria remain one when the three arms of Government, namely the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary is headed by a northern Muslim?
How can Nigeria remain one when there is only one southerner in the top four positions in the country, namely the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and he is also Muslim?
Worse still his Deputy and every single one of the four principal officers in the House of Representatives are northern Muslims.
How can Nigeria remain one when the substantive Minister of Petroleum and Gas over the last four years and every single key General Manager and Director at the nations state-owned petroleum corporation, the NNPC, are all northern Muslims?
How can Nigeria remain one when, for the better part of the last few years and up until one month ago, every single branch of the three tiers of the Federal Courts, namely the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court, were headed by northern Muslims?
For the record, one month ago a Christian from the Middle Belt took over at the Federal High Court and that helped to balance the equation but the point remains valid.
How can Nigeria remain one when the first and fourth most deadly terrorist organisations in the world, namely Boko Haram and the Fulani militants, are wreaking havoc and committing the most heinous and barbaric atrocities all over Nigeria with the help and support of ISIS?
Worse still the Fulani militants have made a sport of targeting and killing southerners and Middle Belters and occupying their land with the tacit support of the Government who have refused to call them terrorists or to arrest, prosecute and bring them to justice?
How can Nigeria remain one when it is clear that a Fulanisation and Islamisation policy is being implemented by the Buhari administration before our very eyes?
How can Nigeria remain one when groups that have not killed anyone and that do not carry arms like IPOB and the IMN have been proscribed and declared as terrorist organisations whilst their leaders are subjected to inhuman treatment and hounded?
How can Nigeria remain one when the Coalition of Northern Groups, with the backing and support of the Northern Elders Forum, openly and publicly threaten the lives of southerners that live in the north and give them ultimatums to leave and consistently threatening to target southerners if RUGA is not implemented in the south?
How can Nigeria remain one when Miyetti Allah appears to be above the law and when the Fulani herdsmen are allowed to carry arms and appear to be untouchable?
How can Nigeria remain one when the most senior Presidential spokesman says we must either give up our land to the murderous Fulani terrorist herdsmen or give up our lives?
How can Nigeria remain one when our quisling Vice President says that we must pray for the Fulani herdsmen that kill us on a daily basis, that take our land and that rape and abduct our wives and children?
How can Nigeria remain one when the Vice President also says that the number of killings are "exaggerated"?
How can Nigeria remain one when Christian leaders and clerics are being singled out and targetted for slaughter all over the country?
How can Nigeria remain one when more Churches have been burnt and more priests and Christian clerics have been killed in the last four years than at any other time in our history?
How can Nigeria remain one when more Nigerians have been killed in the last four years than at any other time other than during the civil war?
How can Nigeria remain one when over 3,500 MASS murders and MASS killings have taken place in Nigeria this year alone?
How can Nigeria remain one when our people are more divided on religious, ethnic and regional lines than at any other time in our history?
How can Nigeria remain one when southerners and Middle Belters are treated like scum and are regarded as nothing but slaves and, at best, second class citizens in their own country?
How can Nigeria remain one when Mr. Omoyele Sowore is abducted from his home in the middle of the night like a common criminal, dumped in a DSS cell, treated like a terrorist, detained for a minimum of 45 days and will be charged for treason or treasonable felony simply because he wanted to organise a peaceful demonstration against the reckless, inept, incompetent and dangerous policies of the Buhari Government?
How can Nigeria remain one when a courageous young lady by the name of Miss Leah Sharibu was not released and allowed to come home with the other Dapchi girls simply because she refused to renounce her Christian faith?
How can Nigeria remain one when southerners and northerners regard one another with increasing suspicion and contempt and with growing disdain?
How can Nigeria remain one when Fulani nationalism and supremacy is engendered and encouraged by the Buhari administration whilst the ethnic nationalism of the Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Tiv and other indigenous tribes from the South and the Middle Belt are frowned upon, outlawed and treated as a crime?
Given all this, it is not surprising that when those that attacked Ekweremadu saw him wearing a shirt with the Nigerian coat of arms emblazzoned all over it at an Igbo yam festival in distant Germany they simply lost control of themselves, allowed their fury to take over and tore it to shreds. I do not seek to justify or condone their behaviour and neither do I support it: I only seek to explain it.
They are in pain and that pain has turned into a palpable and dangerous rage.
Those of us that lay claim to being southern leaders would do well to recognise that fact, accept it and resolve to rise up to the challenges that our people are facing.
The bitter truth is that the Nigerian Coat of Arms and the Nigerian flag itself, to a sizeable number of people from the South, has now become a symbol of tyranny, terror, subjugation and oppression.
As unpleasant and distasteful as this may be and as difficult it is to accept, that is the bitter and plain truth and the ugly events at Nuremberg have proved it.
The biggest miscalculation that the President could possibly make is to believe that this matter can be contained or that it will go away with time. The more the killings, the greater the build-up of anger and the greater the chance that things will soon explode.
We must do all we can to stop this and to restore love, peace, equity, justice, trust and mutual respect to our people and our land. That is the only way to ensure that what happened to Senator Ike Ekweremadu does not happen to other southern leaders some time in the not too distant future.
We must all be ready to stick our necks out for our people and defend them as aggressively and vigorously as is necessary or, if we fail to do so, we must be ready to pass on the baton and step aside for those that will.
Leadership requires risk and sacrifice. We, as southern leaders, must be ready to take a courageous stand and resolve to do both. We must do whatever it takes and whatever is necessary to protect the lives and property of our people, to defend their honor and dignity and to safeguard their future.
This is a duty and obligation that we must pledge to uphold and a covenant that we must make before the Living God. I wish my friend and brother Senator Ike Ekweremadu a speedy recovery from the unfortunate events in Nuremberg, Germany.

Forex ban on food importation is the right thing done at the wrong time — Sani
President Muhammadu Buhari has yesterday Tuesday 13th of August, issued a directive to the nation's apex Bank to stop issuance of Forex for the importation of food products into the country.
While opinions as expected remains divided on whether or not the directive is a wise move by the presidency, Senator Shehu Sani sides with the president, but says the other issues affecting agriculture in the country must be addressed to avoid food shortages, a situation the president obviously would want to avoid.
The President directive to the CBN to stop issuance of Forex for food importation is the right step https://t.co/zqGWuboHSm will boost food production at https://t.co/7AXfNzXELo is to hand over Agric financing to the Bank of Agriculture & not CBN & protect farmers from Kidnappers
— Senator Shehu Sani (@ShehuSani) August 14, 2019
He said, "The President directive to the CBN to stop issuance of Forex for food importation is the right step forward. It will boost food production at home. Next is to hand over Agric financing to the Bank of Agriculture and not CBN & protect farmers from Kidnappers."
The growing insecurity in the country is something the Buhari administration has struggled to address since it came to power in 2015. It can be argued that the president focuses on addressing this particular issue and ensuring farmers are safe from the activities of armed herdsmen and kidnappers.
Failure to address these issues will subject Nigerians to more hardship to food scarcity and spike in food prices. In other words, more hunger in the country.
We Are Fast Heading Towards The Threshold Of A State Collapse – Ezekwesili
A former Minister of Education, Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili, has warned that Nigeria is edging closer to collapse and the leaders must act to prevent that from happening.
"Initially, I kept saying that we were a fragile country. Now, we are fast-heading towards the threshold where you have a state collapse and we can't stand watching while that happens," she warned during an appearance on Channels TV's Sunday Politics.
For her, the signs captured in the definition of state collapse are now present in the country. This, she explained, involves looking at the security situation, the economy, social cohesion and political stability.
"When these four things are in the negative then you are fast-heading towards what is known as state collapse," she said.
Not In A Good Place'
Dr Ezekwesili, who is also a former Vice President of the World Bank for Africa, added, "Everything seems to have fallen apart. We practically have no institutions that are standing in their credibility at this time."
She believes a first step towards reversing the situation in the country is for those in government to accept the signs.
"I think it is critical for people in government to accept that the country is certainly not in a good place at all," she said.
"That ownership of your situation is an important and critical step towards solving a problem. If the government pretends that all is well with Nigeria, then it shows how absolutely isolated from the issues and challenges of the people that they lead."
Should that critical step be taken by those in power, she then expects the President and the leadership at the National Assembly to come together to convene "a state of the union conversation".
That conversation would have to be a very honest one about "what we do with Nigeria", she said, stressing that "Nigeria is not in a good place at all".
Buhari is a completely out-of-touch leader, says Ezekwesili
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a "completely out-of-touch leader."
Ezekwesili, a former presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN, made the remark while rubbishing Buhari's warning to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to stop providing foreign exchange for importation of food into the country.
Buhari had on Tuesday while hosting the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors at his country home in Daura, Katsina State, said the foreign reserve will be conserved and utilized strictly for diversification of the economy, and not for encouraging more dependence on foreign food import bills.
Reacting, Ezekwesili maintained that the President's directive was a 'blunder."
In a series of tweets, the former presidential candidate wrote: "A completely out-of-touch 'leader'. He is cocooned away in the grandeur of @AsoRock where they serve him delicatessen and praise-sing to him: "Ranka dede Sir, your Agriculture Policy is working wonderfully. All farmers in Nigeria are now Billionaires & exporting to the US"

It's time to apologize to Goodluck Jonathan for Nigeria to move forward — Frank tells Nigerians
Comrade Timi Frank, a political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on Nigerians who worked against the re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 to publicly apologized to him and seek for forgiveness for the country to move forward.
Frank said it is time for Nigerians to do the needful and stop living in pretence.
He noted that the era of former President Goodluck Jonathan managed the challenges of insecurity well compared to what the country has now under president Buhari.
In a statement he released to newsmen in Abuja on Saturday, Timi Frank called on religious leaders, traditional rulers and all Nigerians who directly or indirectly worked against Jonathan's government to ask for forgiveness before it is too late.
Frank acknowledged that there were things Jonathan's government should have done better but in all Nigerians made a wrong choice of electing the current administration.
"I call on Nigerians that we should beg former President Goodluck Jonathan for wrongly voting him out and sabotaging his government. I must confess that as an APC figure in 2015, we fabricated many lies against Jonathan, though I have publicly apologised to him, other Nigerians, especially the pastors, Imams, traditional rulers and other opinion leaders should beg for forgiveness too.
"It is obvious now that insecurity in our Nation has gone out of hand. The challenge was limited to a zone under Goodluck Jonathan but presently no state, including General Buhari's home state is secured.
"Under Jonathan, Fulani herdsmen were using stick but they now carry AK 47. Under Jonathan, lives of Nigerians were more important despite the challenges but under Buhari, cows are more important than lives.
"There was democracy and rule of law under Jonathan but its now rule of force and impunity. Under Jonathan, National Assembly was active and working but its now a rubber stamp.
"Under Jonathan, Nigerians abroad were relocating back home but under Buhari, Nigerians are running away. Under Jonathan, Nigerians are respected all over the world but that has since gone under Buhari.
"Under Jonathan, Nigerians were crying in tears but now Nigerians are crying in blood
"Under Jonathan, there was freedom of speech but that has long gone under the APC administration.
"Under Jonathan, poverty, hunger and unemployment were not as bad as it is today. Under Jonathan, Nigeria was a united Nation but sentiments have taken over now.
"As it is now, all the institutions of government that were working well under Jonathan have all been blackmailed and politicised.
"So, I call on others who betrayed Jonathan to come out publicly and apologise to him. I also use this opportunity to appeal to former President Jonathan to forgive Nigerians and bless the Nation against the evils that have pervaded the land."
Frank said Nigerians should ask the APC administration what happened to the $1 Billion ECA money removed to fight insecurity in Nigeria.
He called on Nigerians to support a peaceful revolution to take back Nigeria to the good old days from the hands "evil men in power."

Safety a part of Halloween fun
With Halloween bearing down on us, Cherokee, as well as other towns, will celebrate the annual spookfest with trick-or-treat scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 31.
There are several safety suggestions from the National Safety Council that parents and families should keep in mind while making plans for the trick-or-treating sessions. Major among those are:
*Be sure children's costumes fit properly, allowing them to easily see through their masks and not trip over their costumes.
*Only buy costumes that are flame resistant or flame retardant. The fabric will resist burning and the flames will be extinguished quickly.
*For greater visibility, decorate or trim costumes and bags with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a vehicle's headlights. Reflective tape is available in most hardware, department and craft stores.
*Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be made of soft, flexible materials.
*Children should carry flashlights to see and be seen.
*Make sure your children are carrying emergency identification with them when they go trick-or-treating, in case they get lost or separated from their group. Attach your name, address and phone number on their costumes or on a bracelet.
*Examine treats carefully for evidence of tampering, before allowing children to eat the sweets or play with the toys.
*If you're putting up spooky lighting or stringing speaker wire for scary sounds, locate all cords away from where children will be walking. Make sure you plug the cords into GFCI-protected outlets.
*Keep candles and jack-o-lanterns away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flames. Better yet, use flashlights or other small battery-operated lights instead of candles for decorating.
*Remove obstacles from lawns, steps and porches when expecting trick-or-treaters.
Follow these simple safety rules, and everyone can enjoy an injury and worry free Halloween !

TYRONE (AP) - Police say a central Pennsylvania couple who repeatedly called 911 to report imaginary prowlers - including mustachioed men with silly faces - were under the influence of bath salts and endangering their two small children as a result.
Online court records don't list attorneys for 32-year-old Melissa Zimmerman and 28-year-old Branden William who face a March 5 preliminary hearing on drug, false alarm and child endangerment charges.
The Altoona Mirror (http://bit.ly/Yr6hQP) reports the couple called 911 three times in about three hours starting at 3:12 a.m. Feb. 7 to report prowlers that police couldn't see, even when the couple pointed to them on a porch and on surveillance video.
When police returned the last time, the couple's 6-year-old daughter was holding two knives and told police her father needed them because there were people outside.

Penguins general manager Shero: I'm not trading Staal
The numbers suggest keeping Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal together through their prime years will be almost impossible.
General Manager Ray Shero said something entirely different Tuesday.
Shero told the Tribune-Review that he isn't interested in trading Staal, who can become a free agent next summer. Speculation has swirled since April when Staal was asked how the three could remain happy with the Penguins and he responded, "That's a good question."
Shero painted a different picture.
"He told me he likes it here," Shero said. "Told me he likes Pittsburgh, likes being a Penguin."
Staal was Shero's first draft pick in 2006.
There are two questions pertaining to Staal: Will he be satisfied being the third-line center for the duration of his career? And, can the Penguins reasonably sign him — along with Crosby and Malkin — next year while remaining under the salary cap?
The long-term salary cap figures are unknown because of impending CBA negotiations.
Shero didn't get into specifics but made his intentions clear. Teams are inquiring daily about Staal, Shero said, but he remains uninterested in any offer.
"People read the newspapers and so maybe they think he's available," Shero said. "That stuff is all speculation. I have made it clear to every team that has asked. I don't want to trade Jordan. I'm not listening to offers. I want Jordan here. I want him here for a long time, and that's what I'm going to try to do."
There is still the possibility Staal could be available at some point this summer. Shero's on-the-record desire to sign him could also be a tactic used to increase possible trade value.
Shero and Staal's agent, Paul Krepelka, have spoken recently. No deal can be signed before July 1, but Shero said it is within NHL rules to discuss generalities of a new contract.
Krepelka was contacted by the Tribune-Review on Tuesday evening but declined comment on Shero's desire to sign Staal.
Shero passionately maintains that he is completely invested in signing Staal, who is getting married Friday.
Attempting to orchestrate a trade while simultaneously working out a contract for Staal would be disingenuous, according to Shero.
"You can't have it both ways," Shero said. "I can't try to negotiate a contract with Jordan and a trade with another team at the same time. It doesn't work that way. We don't want to trade Jordan. We think we can sign him."
Shero touched on a couple of other topics.
He confirmed that he has spoken with agent Pat Brisson about Sidney Crosby's contract. The two would like to work out a deal this summer, though so far, talks have only been "general."
"I sure hope it gets done quickly," said Shero, who noted that Crosby's ability to make it through the final month of the regular season and playoffs unscathed was comforting to the team and its captain.
Shero also said that he will not engage in contract talks with free agents Steve Sullivan and Arron Asham until after the NHL Entry Draft, which is this weekend in Pittsburgh.

A Halloween Singles Cruiseby Pat Hagan, Singles Editor | November 21, 2005
The company was purchased early this year by mega-travel agency Carlson Wagonlit, so I decided to see what, if anything, had changed since the buy-out.
The site's Halloween cruise was the most popular, but it had become so huge – attracting nearly 600 singles in 2004 -- that it was split into two Halloween sailings this year. I chose the one on Carnival's Glory from Port Canaveral to the eastern Caribbean, and I found myself wondering how Singlescruise.com had managed with a larger crowd than the 200+ who gathered at the Welcome Aboard cocktail party on sailing day.
Group Coordinator Tracie Mosley, a former Carnival Social Host, said she recognized at least 70 percent of the single passengers. "The same ones keep coming back," she said. "It's like a high school or college reunion."
Singles' Motives
But what about the hook-ups that don't last? As one woman said with a shrug: "One night stands? They happen. You move on."
There are some who count so much on finding romance that they are willing to pay the price of a single-occupancy cabin. "I can't take the chance of meeting someone and then not having a place to take her," explained a man who was on his fifth singles cruise. "It wouldn't be fair for me to ask my cabin mate to move out, and I wouldn't want to sleep in a deck chair for him, either. So I save up until I can have my own cabin."
Ruffled Roommates
Ms. Mosley explained that the agency waits as late as possible to pair people up, and always takes age differences into consideration. When cruise documents are mailed, the name and address of the cabin mate is included. While that gives people a chance to settle possible issues before sailing, how many times would a person even think to ask whether someone likes to walk around the cabin au naturale? And always take ear plugs, regardless
Ms. Mosley, with assistance from co-coordinator Darren Brood, a former production singer with Carnival (who also happens to be her fiance), quickly got things rolling at the get-acquainted party by handing out keys to the guys and little padlocks to the women. The purpose, of course, was to pair off people as they sought out a match; when a key fit, the couple received a ticket for a raffle to win various ship souvenirs.
Several other games took place at social gatherings throughout the cruise to help people connect, like the popular one-and-a-half minute chat before switching in order to meet as many people as possible in a short time.
An Early Start
But there was no reason for anyone to feel left out if they made the effort to join in. The seven-day cruise was packed with a schedule of events for the singles more parties at poolside, breakfast and lunch gatherings, shore excursions; and every night the singles ate in a certain section of the dining room, switching seats most of the time. There was also a daily staffed hospitality desk to handle any inquiries or problems.
At the farewell cocktail party, where Karaoke was featured, there was a surprise dedication song for a couple who became engaged that week after having been on earlier singles cruises together.
Carnival also hosted some singles activities during the week, like a 35+ singles and companions get-together nightly at a wine bar, and a meeting place for before-the-show gatherings of singles. It was at one of these that a woman traveling with the singles cruise met someone not connected with the group; the two were making plans to visit each other in the future to keep their romance aglow.
Ms. Mosley's schedule for 2006 has her working as coordinator on 23 cruises, and three of those will be in Europe. She pointed out that Singlescruise.com endeavors to send a coordinator for every 50 passengers and is currently seeking 10-12 people as part-time and reserve staffers.
Party Down
There were some wild moments that raised a few eyebrows like the organized "streak" around the top deck of the ship. Some singles cruisers complained about part of their group stripping down at the beach in St. Maarten. Perhaps the most raucous night was the last, when some revelers leaped up on their tables in the dining room when rock music came over the speakers. Agitated Maitre d's were tugging at ankles, urging people to get down, but the dancing continued until the music ended, and I was surprised some of the tables did not collapse.
While the age range mostly was in the mid to late-30s and early 40s, there were some older, a few even in their 60s. Overall, I would recommend Singlescruise.com for the former range. The "more mature" participants seemed a bit bored, and I heard a few say that for their next cruise they would look for a group more in their age range.
The Group Option
As CruiseMates' Singles Editor, I receive a lot of inquiries from solo travelers asking which is best an organized singles cruise, or a cruise on their own. There was a time when I would respond by saying that if a person was outgoing, they should have no problem traveling alone. However, my opinion has changed as cruises now attract more families, partly due to discounts offered to large groups. As a result, I see fewer and fewer singles. So I now recommend an organized singles cruise for anyone traveling alone (unless, of course, that's what you want to be alone).
As for finding romance on a singles cruise or any cruise for that matter -- it is possible…but not probable. After all, there is distance involved between hometowns. Which one is going to change jobs and move to be with the other one? And, sadly, so many times when the cruise ends, so does the fantasy.
But one thing is certain the majority of the 217 singles on Carnival's Glory for Halloween took home happy memories that will last a lifetime…or at least until their next singles cruise, which most seemed to be planning already.

Zimmerman case: ACLU's déjà vu
The American Civil Liberties Union is experiencing some uncomfortable déjà vu.
George Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin has triggered the specter of an awkward and often raucous debate the group thought it had put behind itself two decades ago.
Story Continued Below
After the 1992 acquittal of Los Angeles police officers in the videotaped beating of African-American Rodney King, ACLU leaders split sharply over the possibility of a federal trial for the officers. The group eventually suspended its policy opposing double jeopardy — only to reverse itself the following year.
( PHOTOS: George Zimmerman trial)
A New York Times editorial back then called the ACLU "torn by internal disagreement." A Boston Globe column described the organization as "twisting itself up in knots."
The heated debate highlighted one of the ACLU's challenges: It is perhaps the nation's foremost advocate for civil liberties — but it also has a long history advocating for civil rights.
More than 20 years later, President Barack Obama's comments reacting to the Zimmerman verdict dwelled on race while calling for respect for the trial process and the jury verdict.
( WATCH: Obama's full remarks on Zimmerman verdict)
"The judge conducted the trial in a professional manner," he said Friday. "The juries [sic] were properly instructed that in a case such as this reasonable doubt was relevant, and they rendered a verdict. And once the jury has spoken, that's how our system works."
Meanwhile, the ACLU's first public reaction drew notice in some quarters for leaning heavily toward racial justice — while staying silent on civil liberties and due process in the Florida case.
"Last night's verdict casts serious doubt on whether the legal system truly provides equal protection of the laws to everyone regardless of race or ethnicity," ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a statement on July 14, the day after the Florida jury's verdict. "This case reminds us that it is imperative that the Department of Justice thoroughly examine whether the Martin shooting was a federal civil rights violation or hate crime."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama weighs in on race, reluctantly)
The statement went on to call for additional federal guidance on the use of race in law enforcement and for a new federal law aimed at ending racial profiling.
But it was the specific reference to an "imperative" for DOJ to investigate under criminal statutes — an apparent endorsement of the calls of many civil rights activists and groups for a federal prosecution of Zimmerman — that threatened to reopen old wounds.
That call came even though the ACLU's long-standing policy, restored in 1993 after the King debate, explicitly rejects such an option. "There should be no exception to double jeopardy principles simply because the same offense may be prosecuted by two different sovereigns," the policy says.
( PHOTOS: Trayvon Martin rallies)
Romero's statement stirred concern among some civil libertarians that in a rush to join the chorus of outrage over the Zimmerman verdict, the group had turned its back on the policy it settled on two decades ago.
In an apparent attempt to stem the controversy, a top ACLU official wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday to make clear that the group does not favor a second prosecution of Zimmerman in federal court.
"We are writing to clearly state the ACLU's position on whether or not the Department of Justice (DOJ) should consider bringing federal civil rights or hate crimes charges as a result of the state court acquittal in the George Zimmerman case," Laura Murphy, director of the ACLU's Washington office, wrote.
( WATCH: President Obama's full remarks on Trayvon Martin)
"The ACLU believes the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Constitution protects someone from being prosecuted in another court for charges arising from the same transaction. A jury found Zimmerman not guilty, and that should be the end of the criminal case," she wrote.
Attorney General Eric Holder has said the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is continuing to investigate Martin's shooting — and the department has even set up an email address to gather information about the case. However, Obama suggested Friday that those upset about the verdict would be unwise to expect a federal prosecution.
"I think it's important for people to have some clear expectations here," Obama said. "And law enforcement is traditionally done at the state and local levels, not at the federal levels."
Romero, who provided Murphy's letter to POLITICO, said Thursday there was no intent to change or depart from the double jeopardy policy.
"I think there are real serious concerns about going back on the double jeopardy policy. It is a slippery slope that if you allow the government to prosecute individuals for one crime and then fail and try again, it creates the wrong incentives for the criminal justice system," Romero said in an interview on the outskirts of the Aspen Security Forum.
Romero acknowledged that cases like that of Trayvon Martin sometimes prompt disagreements within the organization, and often put the group at odds with other civil rights groups.
"Good civil libertarians will differ on this issue, like a lot of our issues that divide the membership or the leadership whether it's campaign finance or whether it's civil rights prosecutions after a failed trial," he said. "The unique part of the ACLU is that we have to balance some of the concerns that we have that are long-standing, deep-seated values like racial justice against broader concerns about the administration of justice."

It Begins
1. The 17 year old by ambulance with pharyngitis.
2. The one year old just not able to sleep with cough and fever, already seen by their pediatrician earlier that day.
3. The 20 year old G7 with belly pain who left AMA after learning her pregnancy test was negative.
4. The dialysis patient who was "too sick" to go to dialysis and presented in acute pulmonary edema.
5. The 40 year old female covered in paint and drywall, obviously working, who presented with severe back pain from an MVA 3 weeks prior.
6. The 73 year old who just can't catch his breath after smoking 2 packs per day for 50 years.
7. And the dozen or so patients who just want a fix (narcs, benzos, it doesn't matter).
So you see, it's easy for me to get fired up for 3 day weekends in the ED. Stamping out disease with clown shoes, one idiot at a time.

I agree. Granted, I'm just a mere resident in EM, but I did my overnights last week, and we had:ReplyDelete
6 yo male complaining of "wet farts for 6 hours"
21 year old "drunk and passed out in the car"
38 yo female with 17 abdominal operations complaining of "I think i need another operation....i may have a small bowel obstruction"
Last weekend, my "favorite" case was the mother who brought the 3 day old in by EMS because the baby's "hands felt cold".ReplyDelete
Fortunately, EMS delivered the curing treatment of a blanket en route and by the time they arrived at 4am, the baby was perfectly fine.
I'd have been somewhat assuaged in my irritation if it was the woman's first child, but sadly it was the 23 year old's 5th kid.
...sadly it was the 23 year old's 5th kid.ReplyDelete
Well, with that many kids, you know she or her husband must have a good job and must be otherwise productive members of society. I mean, that's 5 college educations they'll have to pay for already.
I'm sure her insurance company will question the necessity of her child's ambulance ride, but with her timely payment of insurance premiums and otherwise prudent use of healthcare services, she shall surely be forgiven.
Yes, fortunately this woman who spoke little English (so we had to pay our interpreter to get out of bed and come into the ED at 4am) was covered by the universal New Orleans New England (NONE) plan. The NONE company is always prompt and never questions the need for an ED visit!ReplyDelete
How about the teenage parents of a three-day-old who brought their baby in, saying, "she has diarrhea" (uh, that's normal breast-fed baby poop) and "she sleeps all the time" (uh, that's what new babies pretty much do)!argReplyDelete
A quick question for all the ER docs reading this blog. As a first year med student, ER is currently (and it changes often, obviously) one of my top career interests. But honestly, reading a variety of ER blogs is doing nothing to encourage me. You guys seem universally frustrated and even a little jaded sometimes.ReplyDelete
So my question is, if you could wake up tomorrow in a different specialty (without having to do another residency or anything), would you switch? And if so, what to?
LOL at the clown shoes!!!!!ReplyDelete
- dr. Greenbbs11:18 PM, September 22, 2007
Bruce, I'd never switch from my current residency position in EM to any other specialty. I may be a bit jaded because of the useless crap I sometimes see, but I enjoy the variety and the people I work with too much to switch to anything else.ReplyDelete
Been too timid to comment over here much with the baddest of the ER bad boys.ReplyDelete
911 Doc, this is for you.....
I've been tagged and I've generously passed it on to you! Please link on my name to check it out.
I'm too technically challenged to embed my URL in a link in the comment section.
dermatology, MOHS surgery. that being said i would always envy the 'real doctors'... those who took care of critically ill patients and made critical therapeurtic interventions. i think all the cash,the completely different patient population, and the good hours would soon overcome this envy however.ReplyDelete
I can't imagine doing anything other than EM! As much as it frustrates me and as much as the Governmental mandates negatively impact us (and our "real" patients) and hospital administrators and "clipboard nurses" bug me...when I have one of those days where I'm managing multiple emergencies, it just don't get any better than that!ReplyDelete
The above being said....I agree with 911 that derm and MOHS is pretty sweet (procedural, 100% pay, easy hours, no call, lots of new toys and gadgets....I love gadgets)
As much as I rag on Radiologists, I think PROCEDURAL Radiology would be great. Depending on the hospital, they do everything from kyphoplasty to central lines, to splenic embolization, to aneurysmal embolization, to angiojet, to arterial angioplasty. They can do some cool things and as the world moves to less invasive treatments, it's a growing specialty.
Also, there are lots of critical care docs (with variable backgrounds: mostly Pulmonary) who are starting to work shifts like ER docs. I would like it if I was just in the ICU taking care of really complex sick folks.
I've thought of Ophtho too just because they have an almost 100% pay rate, their call is easy (usually nothing), and I've found the eye more fascinating since med school than I did before.
But really, I'm not sure I could respect myself each day unless I thought I made a difference (in some way more than just popping pimples, or programming a computer to fix your vision so that you didn't need glasses or contacts). In the ED, I occasionally get a chance to make an important difference!

Dude. Go into Pathology. It's all glamour and macho, high-profile work; it's perfect if you are a 'people person'; and chicks dig it.ReplyDelete
Actually, fuck it all and go into hedge fund management.
most recent wonderfully appropriate use of EMS...ReplyDelete
29yowf with vaginal pain
Hx: "i just had sex with my fiancee for the first time and his cock is too big... what am i going to do?? i mean i can't marry him with his huge cock... it hurts..."
no, the fiancee was not me. yes. it's true, this happened to a patient i took care of this summer.
obtw, i consider myself tagged for the meme or whatever it's called. no problem.

The Spin-off of Haruhi Suzumiya
This thread is dedicated to the discussion of animated spin-offs, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan and Nyoro~n Churuya-san, that will subsequently be aired on the KadokawaAnime Youtube Channel as a series of webshorts.
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan by mangaka Puyo, and Nyoro~n Churuya-san created by Eretto (Utsura Uraraka) both started out originally as popular four-panel-parody-gag-manga with the animated webshorts only officially announced in the October issue of Monthly Shounen Ace that went on sale from August 26. To view English translations of Churuya-san please visit here.
Keeping up with previous 'viral merketing' traditions, the http://haruhi.tv/ website was taken down on the notable date of December 18 and was replaced with a 404 error message depicting images of Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san as is seen below:
Throughout the day, images and layout of the 404 error message had been rearranged and shuffled for reasons unknown.
(most likely for fun to play meaningless head-games if you ask me lol =P)
There are currently no release dates as of yet.
EDIT: It is officially confirmed that the Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san shorts will debut on February 13th.
Talk about the official Haruhi spin-offs here, however many there are now.

In a radio interview with the staff of Ga-rei Zero, they said that the production of Haruhi-chan has'nt started yet.
If the announcement is true then either AIC Spirits or asread will produce this spin-off. A release in 2009 is still possible since the YouTube episodes will be short.
ETA: See below for a translation and the official announcement by KyoAni.

Here is the facts from the radio show:
The staff member who was talking was the Ga rei Zero producer Atsushi Itou who also has "(The) Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV) : Planning Producer" to his credit. He is talking about long gaps left between seasons of series and interest in the show. He happens to bring up Haruhi and then says "As of the time of this broadcast, (subject unclear) hasn't done Haruhi-chan yet."
Therefore, there is no reason to conclude production isn't in progress nor is there any reason to conclude that Kyoani isn't doing the production.

On To The Semifinals
Glasgow Edges Fairfield, Advances To Rematch With Baker Spartans
In their tenth game of the season, with a record of 8-1 coming into the state quarterfinal, the Scotties were used to cruising to easy victories, it seemed.
And yet the Nov. 9, 2013 victory would become the hardest they had to fight for, facing not only the tough 2011 state champion Fairfield Eagles but also perhaps the sloppiest game Glasgow itself has played.
Interceptions, fumbles, failed kicks, incomplete passes ... these anxieties punctuated the dramatic game that seemed to be highlighted by missed opportunities. That is, until the last 29.2 seconds, when Johnathon Koessl scored the go-ahead touchdown on a three-yard rush that sent the Scotties on top for good, 19-14.
Koessl also opened with Glasgow's first touchdown, a three-yard rush only three minutes into the first quarter.
The Scotties' first half was ridden with a fumble, seven penalties, and seven incomplete passes out of 14 attempts.
"As the kids were playing with great intensity and emotion for such big playoff game, the fatigue really started to show with the number of penalties and missed tackles that occurred," said head coach Greg Liebelt.
However, the Scotties came out like a new team in the second half.
"They were more motivated," Liebelt said. "They understood that if they wanted to keep their dream alive of playing for the state championship, they need to stay focused, improve execution, and dig down deep inside to overcome their fatigue."
Fairfield, perhaps the sharper team in the first half, nevertheless had its share of miscues (one interception, one fumble, seven incomplete passes out of 13 attempts, and four penalties). The Eagles lead the Scotties at half time, 14-7.
After scoring on a nine-yard pass touchdown in the third quarter from Jason Thibault to Keil Krumwiede, Glasgow had two huge opportunities to at least tie the game before the final four minutes of the game. But two failed routine kicks by Hinsdale's Valentin Robert, ruled too wide, loomed like a bad omen over the Scotties. Thus the score remained at 14-13 in Fairfield's favor with only 34 seconds left in the game. The red side of the bleachers was in nail-biter mode while the blue-clads were anxious for celebration.
It wasn't over yet for Glasgow. After Robert's 31-yard field goal kick failed in the fourth quarter at 4:43, Fairfield took possession looking to extend its lead. With its offense stalled by a series of tackles made by Keil Krumwiede, Dallas Capdeville, Tanner Roness and Harley Eliason, and by Fairfield's own penalty, Fairfield opted to punt on fourth down from the 24-yard line. The ball went straight up in the air and landed at Fairfield's 37-yard line, perhaps giving Glasgow one last chance at survival.
With about 2:30 remaining, Scottie quarterback Jason Thibault passed to Chase Fossum; no good. Thibault's next pass to Koessl was complete at the 24-yard line. Koessl ran the ball to the 17-yard line, good enough for a first down.
At 1:21, Thibault passed to Fossum in the end zone – incomplete – but two flags were thrown and the referees ruled pass interference against Fairfield. On the next play, the Scotties were flagged for holding, which moved the ball back – and mistakenly the down marker was changed to second and 17. In fact, it should have remained first down, but it did not matter for the Scotties as destiny seemed to be on their side. On the next play, Thibault pitched the ball to Koessl, who rushed for nine long yards on the right. Roness gained about two more yards before he was piled under the do-or-die Fairfield defense at the 3-yard line.
As the entire stadium held its breath, Koessl dove the ball in on the left side behind Luke Gunderson, Capdeville and Krumwiede for the three-yard, go-ahead touchdown with only 29 seconds left on the clock. Scottie Nation, along with supporters from Malta, exploded in cheers while the Fairfield team stood stunned in disbelief. The Scotties tried unsuccessfully for the 2-point conversion, leaving the scoreboard at 19-14. After Glasgow's last kickoff to the Eagles, Zach Miller and Eliason made the final tackles to seal the Scotties' victory.
"Defense is what wins championship," Liebelt said. "Even though our defense made mistakes early on, it played well enough for us to win. It held Fairfield scoreless in the second half, and that speaks volume for such a powerful offensesive team."
Glasgow was also able to tailor its offensive scheme to Fairfield's spread-out defense style.
"Our offensive strategy is to take advantage of what Fairfield's defense gave us," Liebelt explained. "As Fairfield was spreading out their secondary to cover Glasgow's receivers and double covering either Fossum or Krumwiede, we ran the ball a lot inside with great success."
In the first half, Glasgow's offense had 16 rushes for 80 yards and 14 passes for 91 yards, for a total of 171 yards offense. In the second half, Glasgow's offense improved to 22 rushes for 115 yards and 17 passes for 69 yards, for a total of 184 yards offense. The Scotties' total offense for the game was 355 yards.
In contrast, in the first half Fairfield had 21 rushes for 117 yards and 13 passes for 97 yards, for a total of 214 yards. In the second half, Fairfield dropped to 17 rushes for 81 yards and six passes for 29 yards, for a total of 110 yards. Fairfield's total offense for the game was 324 yards.
A year after Glasgow's emotional 27-26 victory over defending the state championship Fairfield Eagles, Glasgow knew that it had to come out ahead quickly. Thibault was able to connect with Fossum on a long pass at the 21-yard line, and Koessl completed the three-yard dash to score the first touchdown at 9:29. The extra point kick by Robert put Glasgow on the scoreboard, 7-0. However, the Scottie faithful would not celebrate for long as the momentum was about to shift.
With Fairfield's regular quarterback Dalton Palmer injured, sophomore Tanner Mayer stepped up quickly to lead the team.
"Watching Mayer on film before, we knew he'd be starting," Liebelt said. "We felt he was probably the better passing QB for Fairfield."
At first, Glasgow was able to douse Fairfield's offense with quick three-and-outs, then Koessl fumbled a handoff exchange from Thibault that was recovered by the Eagles at the 8-yard line. Mayer, wide open, outran the defense to put Fairfield on the board. Morgan Schenk tied the game at 8:29 with a successful PAT kick.
Even though Glasgow later created two turnovers – an interception by Koessl and fumble recovery by Luke Gunderson – Glasgow could not convert against Fairfield's stingy defense. Fairfield's breakthrough came in the middle of the second quarter, as Mayer found Austin Batson on a 47-yard pass with Fossum chasing just behind. Another good PAT kick by Schenk put Fairfield in the lead at halftime, 14-7.
In the second half, the Scotties kept the penalties down to only four while the Eagles committed eight penalties and four turnovers. At the start of the third quarter, Koessl and Thibault treaded through a succession of gains and setbacks to finally bring the ball to the 35-yard line on a pass to Krumwiede. However, the Eagles soon intercepted a pass from Thibault to Krumwiede in the end zone.
Lachlan Vaira and Chase Fossum helped slow the Fairfield offense, as each took down the Eagles' powerhouse runners Mayer and Schenk twice. Avenging the interception just four minutes earlier, Krumwiede stole a pass in the third quarter at Fairfield's 21-yard line. At third down and nine, Thibault connected with Krumwiede for Glasgow's second touchdown. However, the PAT kick by Robert failed to tie the game and it was 14-13, Fairfield.
After another Fairfield fumble, Glasgow was looking to regain the lead. However, the tide changed again as a long pass from Thibault to Koessl was intercepted by Cade Heckman at Fairfield's 37 yard line.
Not to be outdone, Fossum returned the favor by intercepting the ball back from the Eagles at the 49. The crowd's emotion soared as Robert was called up again at 4:43 for a field goal attempt. Officials ruled it wide right. The ups and downs of this game defined how closely matched these two teams were.
Glasgow (9-1) advances onto the semifinal matchup Saturday, Nov. 6, with Baker (10-0), the only team that has dealt Glasgow a loss this season. Baker won, 34-0, in the second game. Known for its power running, Baker challenges their opponents to stop their rushing attack, which few are able to do.
"Glasgow will be a much different team than when we last traveled to Baker, with the defense playing solidly and Thibault back in the passing game," said Liebelt.
Quarterback Thibault was injured on the fifth offensive play of the Sept. 13 game in Baker with a severe hand laceration and had to exit the game. With Chase Fossum filling in as the backup quarterback, the Scotties' offensive aerial attack was pretty much grounded for the remainder of the game. Having earned a bitter-to-the-end victory against Fairfield has only strengthened the team's resolve for revenge.
Game time is at 1 p.m. Saturday at Baker High School. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $6 for students. Gates open at 11 a.m. Missoula Loyola (9-0) will host Boulder's Jefferson High School (10-1) in the other Class B semifinal game.
If the Scotties were to win, the championship game would be in Glasgow regardless of the other semifinal's outcome.
