McDermott (Northern Iowa, 1988) is in his third season as head coach at Creighton.
He led CU to a 29-6 mark last year, and is now 77-29 with the Bluejays.
McDermott has previously been a head coach at Iowa State (2006-10), Northern
Iowa (2001-06), North Dakota State (2000-01) and Wayne State (1994-2000). He
owns a career mark of 357-224 in 19 seasons and is 226-160 in 12 Division I campaigns.
McDermott is assisted by Darian DeVries, Steve Lutz and Steve Merfeld.
Series History vs. the Sycamores
Creighton is 53-25 all-time against Indiana State. The home
team dominated both meetings this year, with Creighton winning 79-66 in Omaha
on Jan. 5th, and Indiana State holding serve in Terre Haute 76-57 on
Feb. 6th. Creighton is 6-1 all-time vs. Indiana State all-time in MVC
Tournament action. The winner of all seven tournament meetings would go on to
win the MVC Tournament.
MVC Tournament History
Creighton owns a 41-20 all-time record in MVC Tournament
play. Creighton's 11 MVC Tournament titles are six more than any other school,
while its 41 wins and .672 winning percentage in league tourney action is also
Creighton is 19-12
in the quarterfinals, 11-7 in the semifinals and 11-1 in the championship
History As A Top Seed
Creighton is 9-1 in games all-time as the top seed,
including titles in three of its four appearances in that spot. Creighton went
1-0 for the 1978 title, 3-0 in both 1989 and 1991 to win the crown, and were
1-1 in 2001 (losing to No. 5 Indiana State), prior to Friday's win.
The top seed has
won 13 of the 36 tournament titles all-time, which is second-most in event
history (the No. 2 seed owns 14 titles). The top seed owns a 43-16 record in
the event since the tournament moved to St. Louis in 1991, the second-best
winning percentage of any slot (No. 2 was 42-14 prior to Friday night).
Additionally, the
No. 1 seed has won at least one game in all 37 MVC tournaments, reached the
final in five of the previous six seasons and won the title in three of the
previous five years.
The Case
For Creighton
Should Creighton
not earn the automatic bid at Arch Madness in St. Louis, it's built up a
compelling case for an at-large bid. Consider the following (games through 4 pm
on 3/8)...
-Creighton owns
a top-40 RPI and ranks tied for eighth nationally with 25
Division I wins.
-Creighton is 4-3 against the
top-50 and 10-5 against the top-100.
-Creighton is 10-5
away from home this season. Among BCS teams, only two schools (Duke and Louisville) have
more than 10 road/neutral victories this year.
seven true road wins are as many as BCS teams Marquette and Minnesota..COMBINED.
-Creighton won the
regular-season title in the nation's ninth-best league,
the MVC.
-Creighton went
11-2 in non-conference action, including double-digit wins away from home over
Wisconsin, Arizona State, California and Nebraska.
-Creighton also
defeated current MAC leader Akron and preseason league favorites Saint Joseph's
and North Texas, all at home.
-Creighton is second in the
nation in 3-point percentage and field goal percentage, and seventh in points
reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament a year ago.
-Creighton has
won at least one postseason game each of the last five seasons, and has won 20
or more games in 14 of the past 15 years.
Random Valley Tournament Facts
-Creighton is the only Valley school that has not appeared
in the play-in round since that format began in 1997.
-Creighton has
won its last 10 games at the MVC Tournament decided by four points or less.
-Creighton has
won the tournament eight of the last 12 times it has won its first game in St.
-The last four
times Creighton faced Drake in the MVC Tournament, the winner of that game won
the tournament.
-Creighton is 15-2 in five MVC Tournaments
with an MVC Player of the Year on its roster, including titles in four of the
last five occurrences.
With A Win
With a win on Saturday,
Creighton would improve to 26-7 on the season, just the fourth time in program
history its reached that victory milestone (also 2002-03, 2008-09, 2011-12).
-Creighton would improve to 42-20 all-time
in MVC Tournament action. Both the 42 wins and the .677 win percentage would be
tops in event history.
-Creighton would improve to 12-7 all-time in
the semifinal round of the MVC Tournament. The Jays are 11-1 all-time in the
MVC Tournament finals.
-Creighton head coach Greg McDermott would improve to
11-5 in the MVC Tournament, including a 3-2 mark in the semifinal round.
-Creighton would own 78 wins in the past
three years, the best three-year stretch in program history.
-Creighton head coach would win his 170th
game as a head coach in the MVC, 12th in league history, and one more than
legendary Kansas coach Phog Allen.
-Creighton would improve to 9-1 on neutral
courts in the past two years, with only a "neutral" third-round NCAA Tournament
game vs. North Carolina in Greensboro as the only loss.
A Sketch Of Ech
Creighton center
Gregory Echenique had a dominant second
half in Friday's victory over Drake. In 14 minutes after intermission,
Echenique had 11 points, six rebounds and five blocked shots. He made all four
of his attempts from the floor, including three old-fashioned three-point
plays, and the 2012 MVC Defensive Player of the Year was a major reason that
Drake endured a seven-minute scoreless string.
Echenique's final line of 11 points, 11
rebounds and six blocked shots hadn't been done by a Creighton player since Kenny Lawson Jr. had 18 points, 11
rebounds and seven swats at Evansville on Jan. 3, 2010. His six rejections were
the second-most in Tournament history, trailing only the 10 rejections by
Creighton's Benoit Benjamin in 1984.
Echenique now owns 164 career blocked shots
at Creighton, 10th-most in MVC history.
Just Another 20-Point Game
Doug McDermott's 23-point effort
on Friday marked the 53rd time in 106 career contests that he's
scored 20 or more points in a Creighton uniform. He has averaged 18.3 points
per game in six all-time meetings with Indiana State, including a high of 25
and three games of 20 or more.
Recent Champs Meet
Saturday's first
semifinal will feature the last two MVC Tournament champions. Creighton won the
event last season, while Indiana State claimed the title in 2011. Both Greg McDermott and Greg Lansing are 5-1 at their current schools in MVC Tourney action, with
one title apiece.
Field Day
Creighton is second in the nation in field goal percentage,
and has had a better shooting percentage in all 25 of its wins this year. The
only MVC team in history to lead the nation in field goal percentage was
Bradley in 1967-68 (.524), and the only MVC team in history to lead the nation
in three-point percentage was Illinois State in 2002-03 (.440).
Creighton is
18-0 this season when shooting 50 percent or better from the floor.
One Game At A Time
Creighton has won the MVCTournament eight of the last 12
times it has won its first game in St. Louis.
Seven Out Of 14 Tourney Titles
Creighton owns seven league tournament titles in the last
14 years. On a national basis, the only schools that can claim this are Duke
(10), Gonzaga (10), Winthrop (9) and Creighton (7). Creighton's 11 all-time
Valley Tournament titles are more than twice as many as the next closest
school, Southern Illinois (5).
Here's six
historical trends that indicate Creighton is a favorite to win the MVC
1.) Creighton
went 6-3 in its final nine MVC games this year. Each of the last four times the
Jays went exactly 6-3 in its last nine league games, CU won the tournament.
2.) Creighton
went 4-2 in its final six MVC games this year. Four of the last five times the
Jays went exactly 4-2 in its last six league games, CU won the tournament.
3.) Creighton
has won the MVC Tournament three of the previous four times its been the top
4.) Creighton
has won the MVC Tournament four of the last five times it's had a player
recognized as MVC Player of the Year.
5.) Creighton
opened MVC play 6-0 this season. Each of CU's previous two teams to start 5-0
or better in league play would go on to win the MVC Tournament.
6.) Each of the
last two calendar years in which a Conclave convened to elect a new Pope – 1978
and 2005 – the winner of the MVC Men's Basketball Tournament was Creighton.
Back To
Defend A Title
Creighton is
attempting to win back-to-back MVC Tournament titles for the third time in
program history. CU won the 1999 & 2000 crowns, as well as the 2002 &
2003 titles. The only other schools to repeat were Southern Illinois (1993,
1994 & 1995), Illinois State (1997 & 1998) and Northern Iowa (2009
& 2010).
Wins Championships?
Creighton is
putting the old saying "Defense wins championships" to the test this season.
The Bluejays are leading the MVC in scoring offense this season, averaging 76.0 points per game.
Since 1997-98, seven of the 15 teams to lead
the league in scoring offense went on to win the MVC Tournament (Drake in 2008,
ILS in 1998, CU in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2012). By comparison, only two teams
that led the league in scoring defense won the MVC Tournament (SIU in 2006, UNI
in 2010).
Going On
The Offensive
Speaking of offense,
Creighton is second in the nation in field goal percentage at 51.0 percent.
Since 2005-06 there have been seven teams that finished a year
shooting 50.8 percent or better from the field. Six
of those seven teams made the NCAA's, going 17-4 in the "Big Dance", and two
(Kansas in 2008 and Florida in 2007) won the national title.
By comparison, 13 teams held foes to 56.0
points per game or less in the same seven-year span. Those teams combined for
just seven NCAA bids and went a combined 7-7 in the Big Dance.
Seeking To
McDermott could join some elite company if he were able to duplicate his Most
Outstanding Player award from last year's MVC Tournament. In league history,
only Creighton's Kyle Korver (in 2002 & 2003) has won multiple
MOP trophies at the MVC Tournament.
Last season McDermott joined Adam Emmenecker (2008), Kyle Korver (2002 and
2003), Chris Carr (1995) and Hersey Hawkins (1988) as players
to be named Most Outstanding Player in the same season they've earned MVC
Player of the Year accolades.
Chasing History
Doug McDermott has scored 21 or more points in 23 of the
season's 32 games, and on Friday moved into the top spot on Creighton's all-time
scoring list with 2,129 career points. He also ranks among the top-scoring
juniors in Creighton history with 747 points this season.

Come A Little Bit
Doug McDermott is shooting a ridiculous
48.9 percent from three-point range this year, which is on pace to break his
own Creighton single-season record (.486) done last year. That being said, his
two-point accuracy last week was out of this world as well.
McDermott shot 21-of-23 from two-point range last week, making
his last 16 attempts from two-point range since a first-half miss on Feb. 27 at
Bradley. He was "held" to 5-of-10 shooting from inside the arc by Drake on
Against The
Creighton owns a
4-3 record this season against top-50 RPI teams, including double-figure wins
over Wisconsin, Akron and Cal. Doug McDermott has averaged
29.0 points in those contests, scoring 21 or more points in each game, while
shooting 61.9 percent from three-point range (26-42).
Grant Gibbs is well on his
way to leading the MVC in assists for a second-straight season, something that
hasn't been done
since Illinois State's Jamar Smiley topped The Valley in three straight campaigns from 1995-98.
Gibbs 190 assists are fourth-most in Creighton single-season history,
and he's the first man in program history with multiple seasons of 170 assists
or more. When Antoine Young had 195
helpers in 2010-11, it was the most assists by a Bluejay since Randy Eccker had 205 in 1976-77. The
record is held by Ralph Bobik, who
dished 252 assists in 1973-74.
The eight assists by Gibbs on Friday vs. Drake were tied for
second-most in MVC Tournament history by a Creighton player, and hadn't been
done since Cavel Witter had eight
helpers vs. Bradley on March 7, 2008.
The 700 Club
Creighton junior Doug McDermott leads the MVC with 724
points this season after owning a league-high 801 a year ago. He is the MVC's
first player with consecutive seasons of 700 points or more since Hersey Hawkins (Bradley, 1986-88). McDermott's
747 points are second-most in Creighton single-season history, trailing only
his 801 last year.
McDermott has joined Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird, Lewis Lloyd
and Hersey Hawkins as the fifth player in MVC
history with multiple 700-point seasons.
Transfers Doing Well
Two key players in Saturday's game began their college careers at Gonzaga and
were actually teammates in 2009-10.
Creighton's Grant
Gibbs was with the Bulldogs from 2008-10, where he had 52 points, 46
rebounds and 21 assists in 24 career games. Since transferring to Creighton,
Gibbs owns 521 points, 366 assists and 289 rebounds in 67 career contests. He
was a member of the MVC's All-Newcomer Team last year and is on pace to lead
the MVC in assists for a second straight season.
Indiana State's Manny
Arop was at Gonzaga from 2009-11, where he had 235 points, 201 rebounds and
38 assists in 59 games.
The Zags are doing just fine without Gibbs and Arop, owning
a nation-best 29 wins and a No. 1 national ranking.
Board Battle A Must Win
Creighton has posted better rebounding numbers against Indiana State than
anyone else in The Valley in recent seasons. The Sycamores have outrebounded
Creighton just three times in the last 28 meetings. Not surprisingly, the Jays
are 21-7 in those 28 games vs. the Sycamores.
Greg McDermott's
teams are 22-2 this season and 63-14 at Creighton when outrebounding the
Eighteen of the last 40 games between Creighton and Indiana State have been
decided by six points or less. The teams have played a game decided by eight
points or less in 18 of the previous 19 seasons (not including 2012-13).
Before handing CU a 76-57 loss on February 6th, Indiana
State's five victories over the Jays since 2003 had been by a combined 21
points (2, 2, 3, 6 and 8).
Magic Number
Indiana State coach Greg Lansing is 40-3
as a head coach when his teams hold the opposition to 63 points or less.
Creighton, which ranks 18th nationally with an average of 76.0
points per game, has been held to 63 points or less just three times all
Creighton has won its last 11 meetings with Indiana State
when scoring 65 points or more, but is 2-5 when scoring 64 or less in that
Pick Your Poison
Ethan Wragge leads Creighton with 69 three-pointers this
season, one more than teammate Doug
McDermott's 68. This is the first time in program history that multiple
Bluejay players have made 68 or more treys in the same season. The only men in
CU history to make 70 treys in a season have been Kyle Korver (3x), Booker
Woodfox, Tad Ackerman and Rod Mason.
Pretty Good Stretch
Creighton owns 54 wins in the last two seasons, 77 wins in
the past three seasons and 95 wins during the last four years. All three totals
are among the best stretches in school history, as seen below

His Own
Game of H-O-R-S-E
McDermott led the nation last year with 307 field goals made, and his 260 buckets
this year are once again leading the country. Of
McDermott's 307 hoops last year, he made 56 baskets with his left hand and used
the glass for 174 of his scores.
Though he's playing away from the basket even
more this season, his numbers remain impressive, as he's used this left hand on
24 field goals and banked in a shot 120 times. McDermott's 260 field goals this
season lead the country, even though he's 15th nationally with 464 field goal attempts.
No player has led the country in field goals
made in back-to-back seasons since at least 1995-96.
Supporting Cast
Doug McDermott is Creighton's only player averaging
in double-figures, but he's had lots of support to help lead the Jays to 25 wins
Creighton is 13-2 when Gregory Echenique (9.6 ppg.) scores in
double-figures this year.
Creighton is 9-0 when Ethan Wragge (7.7 ppg.) scores in
double-figures this year and 27-1 under Greg
McDermott when he shoots 50 percent or better from three-point range.
Creighton is 8-1 when Austin Chatman (7.7 ppg.) scores in
double-figures this year.
Creighton is 5-2 when Jahenns Manigat (5.8 ppg.) scores in double-figures this year.
Creighton is 13-0
all-time when Avery Dingman (4.2
ppg.) makes multiple three-pointers.
What A Start!
Now in his third year, Greg McDermott is 77-29 on the
Creighton sideline. The 77 wins are easily the most in Creighton history in the
first three seasons. Tom Apke is a
distant second at 60-21. According to research by MVC Associate Commissioner Mike Kern, McDermott's 77
wins are fourth-most by a Valley coach in his first three years at a school. Ed Jucker and Denny Crum both won
national titles and are MVC Hall of Famers, while Crum is also in the Naismith
and NABC Hall of Fame.

Will Power
Reserve center Will Artino provided a huge
boost in Friday's quarterfinal win vs. Drake, scoring a career-high 14 points
and adding six rebounds (five offensive) in 14 minutes of play. Artino has now made 37 of
his last 44 shots from the floor, good for an outstanding 84.1 percent.
Even when Artino misses, it's not all bad. Creighton has won its
last 24 games when Artino has a missed field goal, and is 29-1 all-time when
Artino has a miss.
Who Will
Creighton has
utilized the same starting five in every game this season, and four of their
five starters have streaks of 66 or more straight starts. Creighton is one of two teams to
start the same starting five in every game this season, joining Stephen F.
Austin. CU's starting five has played together as a group for 355 minutes this
season, during which time its outscored the opposition by 128 points.
Consecutive Starts, Creighton (Active)
Doug McDermott 106
Gregory Echenique 91
Jahenns Manigat 82
Grant Gibbs 67
Austin Chatman 32
Strong On
the Road
Off to a 25-7
start overall, Creighton is 10-5 away from home this season. Four of those
victories have come against two Big Ten teams (Wisconsin, Nebraska) and two
Pacific-12 teams (Arizona State, Cal). Impressively, all four BCS wins have
been by double-digits. Creighton is 8-1 in the past two years against BCS
teams, including six victories by double-digits and another triumph by eight.
Away From Home
Creighton won a
school-record 15 games away from home last season. The Jays went 10-3 in true
road games and were also 5-1 on neutral floors. Creighton's lone neutral-site
loss came to North Carolina in a not-so "neutral" Greensboro, N.C., in the
third round of the NCAA Tournament.
This year's team is 10-5 away from home,
with four of those victories against a BCS school (Wisconsin, Arizona State,
Nebraska, Cal) by double-digits, a 22-point win at Missouri State, a
seven-point win at Illinois State, a 30-point win at Southern Illinois, a three-point win at Evansville and an
18-point triumph at Bradley.
Each of Creighton's last nine
NCAA Tournament teams have won 10 or more games away from home, and eight of
those teams had a winning record in true road contests.
Best Offense?
You can make a
case that Creighton has boasted the nation's best offensive production so far
this year.
Through games of March 8th at 5 pm, Creighton was second
in the country in field goal percentage (51.0), tops in two-point field goal
percentage (57.0), second in the nation in three-point percentage (41.7) and
sixth in three-pointers per game (8.7).
According to data from bbstate.com, no team since at least 2005-06 has
shot better than 58.7 from two-point range.
Last season Creighton ranked third
nationally in three-point percentage, making 42.4 percent from downtown.
The only team to ever lead the nation in
both 3-pointers per game and 3-point percentage was Princeton in 1987-88.
The only team to ever lead the nation in
both field goal percentage and three-point percentage was Northern Arizona
Creighton tends to play at a faster pace and have more possessions than the
average school, Bluejay coaches place significant emphasis on stats like
average points per possession, with data that can be found on a site such as bbstate.com.
Creighton's offense is still clicking as one of the nation's best,
but the team has made huge strides on the defensive end of the floor, jumping
from 222nd last year to 98th this season.
All but eight of Creighton's opponents have been held under 1.03
points per possession this season.
Points Per Possession
2010-11 2011-12 2012-13
Offense 1.065 1.150 1.152
Offense Rank 46th 2nd 3rd
Defense 1.006 1.014 0.950
Defense Rank 192nd 222nd 98th
Postseason x 15
Creighton has made the postseason in 15 consecutive
seasons, the longest streak of postseason bids in MVC history.
The only eight
schools to make the postseason in each of the last 15 years are Creighton,
Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky,Michigan State and Syracuse.
Crowd Control
Creighton's brought some big crowds to Arch Madness in the
past, but this year's numbers are staggering even by their lofty standards. An estimated 5,000-to-6,000
fans make the trek from Omaha to the Gateway City, including about 600-700
students. Don't take our word for it…here's what others tweeted during Friday's
Emmert (Des Moines Register) - This sure feels like a Creighton
home game, but you know the Wichita fans will be rooting for #Drake
if Bulldogs keep it close.
Dannen (UNI Athletic Director) - The Creighton MBB following at
is phenomenal. Very impressive.
Reynolds (Peoria Journal Star) - Pretty amazing to see the
Creighton presence at Scottrade Center. Their blue-clad fans encompass at least
half of the lower bowl.
Pivovar (Omaha World-Herald) – Drake fans outnumbered about 500
to 1 today.
Shatel (Omaha World-Herald) – Best Creighton crowd in St.
Louis. By Far. Surround sound.

Buzz: Will Justin Schultz Want A Guaranteed Roster Spot?
In the Edmonton Journal, via PHT, David Staples quotes former Tampa Bay GM Brian Lawton as saying that the team that signs Justin Schultz will have to guarantee him a roster spot.
Lawton says, "So if you any chance to get a player like this, you're gonna unfortunately going to be out there on a limb in some uncomfortable positions. Because there are things you don't want to do like guaranteeing a roster spot to a player who has not played in the league. But guess what? That is the landscape you're dealing with. If you're going to sit at home and say, 'I'm not going to do that,' that's great. But you're not going to get any players either."

1L FAQ's
What do we call the faculty?
Unlike most undergraduate schools, which tend to favor 'Doctor,' the faculty is generally called 'Professor.' An exception applies to all who hold the position of dean - they are referred to as 'Dean.' All other members of the faculty, from adjunct to full professors, should be referred to as 'Professor.' Thus, as a member of the faculty, you would call me 'Professor Herleth.'
More importantly, you are encouraged to contact the faculty and get to know them. The faculty serves not only in a teaching capacity, but also in researching and other outside legal interests. You have a great opportunity to learn about larger legal issues by talking to the faculty.
Why does Law School have a reputation for being so difficult?
Law school is difficult because legal analysis is so different from your tried and true methods of learning in undergraduate classes. Simply stated, law school is about legal problem solving. It is not just memorizing facts. You are expected not only to have an answer, but also to explain how you came to that conclusion. Moreover, legal problems are not generally easily resolved - there is rarely a simple, right answer. Legal rules have exceptions; sometimes more than one theory applies, and factual differences can often change the result of any legal application. Policy may also need to be considered before a legal answer can be considered 'complete.'
Moreover, the Socratic method, which is used at the Law School, can be very confusing (see, Class Preparation on my website). Unlike the traditional lecture methods of undergraduate class, the Socratic method relies upon questions and answers - with the professor asking the questions, and you providing the answers. At its best, this method encourages students to analyze problems and explain how they reached their conclusions. Initially, however, you might feel lost. Hang in there - you will hopefully find the major issues and methods of analysis as you move through the semester.
I was able to skip an occasional class during undergraduate days. Can I continue with this practice, as long as I go to most of my classes?
While most professors have strict rules regarding attendance (and the American Bar Association has attendance requirements for all accredited law schools), the real reason to attend all classes is linked to the Socratic method and the complexity of the substantive material. A substantive legal topic often has many interrelated issues. While you may learn a general rule over a series of two classes, the professor may not discuss some exceptions, or policy considerations until the following week. The professor may also not ask relevant hypotheticals which can stretch your understanding of the application of a legal rule until several weeks later, when you are discussion a parallel issue. Law is not neat - you need to constantly be asking yourself how the new information relates to the old. If you aren't there - you won't be able to pick up all the distinctions that the professor expects you to know for her examination.
Moreover, on a practical note, how can you be certain that the notes you have borrowed are any good? After all, none of you have taken an exam yet!
Where do I go for information regarding credits to graduate, probation, courses to take, as well as other types of information?
The Student Handbook is your best starting point. (Go to the SLU Law website) Our handbook is the most current source of general information regarding law school policies and procedures. I would suggest you look at the handbook to review some important information that hopefully you will never use. Note in Chapter X that students who have completed a minimum of 12 hours and have a cumulative grade point average below a 1.60 will be dismissed. In addition those students who have completed between 11 and 15 hours their first semester, and have a grade point average between 1.6 and 2.1 will be on academic probation and required to register and attend a Legal Methods course in the second semester instead of Constitutional Law I. The Legal Methods course is a three-hour course graded on a pass/fail basis. The course explicitly examines the analytical process needed to solve legal problems. Students in Legal Methods will be generally taking Constitutional Law during the following fall semester.
Although the above is fairly clear, the upshot is that a law student cannot afford a disastrous first semester (make that two for the part-time students). So make sure you keep up and not wait until the last minute to get ready for exams.
Another source of information is SLU LawNews which comes out weekly during the school year on-line and by email. This newsletter is a good source for all academic and career services information and deadlines. In addition, LawNews also contains information about all other upcoming events, including social events and other law school workshops, meetings, and presentations. Make sure you consistently check this source. Similar to the law, ignorance of the deadlines is no excuse!
Another place you can get information is the student services complex that is located near the Lindell Boulevard entrance of the law school. The Registrar, Assistant Dean of Students, Assistant Dean of Student Activities and Leadership, Academic Advising, Writing Support Services and a number of other student-oriented services are located there. Moreover, Career Services are located down the hall, near the Atrium. If you need to speak to someone - start in one of those places.
Finally, computer sites can be helpful - especially our law school homepage. You can find most information on our homepage. In addition, professors often use WebCT, TWEN, Google Apps, or other computer sites to contact their classes. Likewise, the administration and faculty use emails to contact students about particular matters. This suggests that you should check your SLU emails on a regular basis - minimally twice each week, more if you know that this is the standard method of communication from your professors.
Finally, look around. Notices for meetings, workshops, class changes, etc. are often put on bulletin boards near your mailboxes, the elevators, plasma screen, and near the Atrium. But the bottom line is you need to PAY ATTENTION to your surroundings.
What do I do if I cannot figure out an issue or area of law in one of my classes?
Try these steps:
- Review your case briefs and notes to see if you have misses something important. It is a good idea to compare your briefs to the class discussion. Make sure that you have not missed any key areas of analysis.
- Go over the syllabus/table of contents to provide some context - look at a treatise if necessary. Having a general idea of where this part of the law fits within an entire section of the course can often help in understanding the readings.
- Talk to your study group/fellow students. Try to work through a hypothetical that incorporates the issue that you find confusing. Often the professor will provide these hypotheticals.
- Focus on how you get the answer - look for connection between the source of your confusion and other areas the professor has already covered
- Ask the professor during office hours - after you took the above steps. The professor will appreciate the effort you made to resolve the problem and will be more willing to guide you in finding the answer. Remember, the professor's goal is to teach legal analysis as well as the substantive content. Help yourself by attempting it before you look for outside help.
Notice that one of the steps involved group discussions. Cooperative learning - that is, in a group setting - is vital in law. While you might consider only one aspect of an issue, another students (or two or three) may be able to see other aspects. Moreover, you might be a 'big picture' person; others may help fill in the details. So consider group discussions as a way to learn the law.
Aren't commercial courses and outlines an easy way to learn the law?
Commercial and other students' outlines can be helpful in preparing for class, particularly is you are unclear about a particular case or area. These outlines can give you some context, so that you can then decide on the pertinent information. They can also be helpful to 'get you started' on creating your own outlines. Just don't depend on them to do your thinking. Use sparingly unless you are having difficulties with a section or group of cases.
On the other hand, you should not rely on study aids in lieu of creating your own outlines. Remember, you not only learn the various elements of the law, but also are learning how to create a strategy for the exam. Using commercial outlines for more than a general guide or to fill in specific gaps is generally fine - but remember that you need to practice organizing and using that information. Moreover you will miss the professor's slant on the subject matter, hypotheticals, and advice regarding an approach to the legal issues. (See, Outlining on my website).
It sounds like I won't be sleeping much from Thanksgiving through the end of exams - is that true?
Whether you choose a rather questionable practice of cramming is up to you. However, lack of sleep has been shown to affect your memory - so it certainly appears counterproductive to expect to remember great amounts of organized information while suffering from lack of sleep. While undoubtedly there are those who can boast great success with the regiment of coffee-candy-little sleep and lots of cramming, most find that a more reasonable approach meets with greater success.
The key then is to be prepared before mid-November. Be efficient and effect in your outlining, case briefing, study groups etc. Then you won't have an overriding need to cram, and therefore sleep and healthy food can be managed. Don't forget to exercise or continue whatever normal program you typically follow.
Finally - stay calm! Panicking helps no one and while a little adrenaline may be good - panic will only block your cognitive processes. You want to go into the exams with minimal stress. And remember if you feel you need outside help, our Student Health provides great services. We also are lucky to have a wonderful part-time chaplain, who is located near Admissions, who will also help you during difficult times.
Final Thoughts:
Law school is a great opportunity to discover your career, to make new friends, to enjoy an academic regiment that can stimulate you, and to learn more about your abilities. Don't forget, however, that the faculty and staff at Saint Louis University School of Law are here to help you acclimate and thrive. Get to know us; use our services.

Seven of these teams are civilian handlers: Tina Hedricks, Jennifer Lopez, Brenda Mehl, Misty Atkinson, Mona Dean McGinnis, Janarie Cammans, Bret Cammans and their K-9 partners. During 2009, these individuals responded to 17 individual calls for service, with many of these searches lasting several days. The team traveled to Moab to search the Book Cliffs area for victims of a serial killer from Colorado. They spent several days in Salt Lake City searching for a young man who fell into the Jordan River canal. The team responded to Arizona to assist the FBI. They also traveled to Logan to work hand in hand with fire personnel and FEMA in searching for a family killed in a mudslide. These dedicated volunteers are passionate about working with their dogs and trying to bring lost loved ones home to their families. The volunteers on this team do not receive any funding and often pay their own way to respond to requests for searches. Hedricks and K9 Thumper, Lopez and K9 Ni'Jon, Mehl and K9 Abbie, Atkinson and K9 Sunny, McGinnis and K9 Goofy, Janarie Cammans and K9 Callie and Bret Cammans and K9 Tank were awarded the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office Citizen Service Award for their selfless dedication on May 11.

|421 Blocked for Tennessee Tanker Wreck
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 28 October 2011 05:14
The situation just inside Tennessee is evolving, with more and more North Carolina resources heading across the state line. Emergency Management from Watauga, Boone Haz-Mat units, and law enforcement from Watauga are being called across the state line to help with two areas of concern. One is near the Bulldog Road intersection with US 421
very near the Trade Volunteer Fire Department, where one of the trucks is leaking a load of 4500 gallons of liquid nitrogen. Then there's the 150 gallon tank of diesel fuel, knocked off a truck, is being handled by Watauga volunteer departments Boone Fire and emergency management from Watauga. Traffic going into Tennessee is being blocked on the North Carolina side, law enforcement and volunteer fire departments heading north-bound 421 traffic onto US 321at the Skateworld intersection, at another section of old 421 near the state line, and at the state line itself, as well as some of the back roads entering Tennessee. On the Tennessee side, Johnson County dispatch says they're diverting from Tennessee 167 and 421 at the Food Lion in Mountain City to US 321 and onto highway 88 heading into Ashe. One report we have is that the incident involved a hit-and-run, but details are yet to be released in the emergency situation. Just how long the blockage will last depends on the careful clearing of the wreck site—some sources say all day—and we'll keep you up to date on the latest.

Hi! My name is Lisa. I live in Oakland, California.
Blue is my first Pit Bull puppy that I adopted from the a local Humane Society. I had gotten him with my ex bf. I'll have to admit, it was more of his decision to adopt the dog, but when we separated, Blue is so cute and loveable, I wanted to keep him.
So far, I love his personality. He's so cute, loyal and smart. He is a bit crazy, silly and mischievous and while I get frustrated by it at times, every thing else about him makes me love him more and definitely outweigh all the frustrations. Plus I know he's just a puppy and that he's learning.
Blue has his first puppy training course this week and hopefully I'll take more advanced classes later. I'm here on this forum to learn more and hopefully to be a better mommy to him.
Right after I got him. Yes, I know there's a garbage dumpster behind me. Hehe, not exactly a nice background.
Blue relaxing at home with me:

Overall, I am excited about my new puppy and hope to learn a lot here in this forum.

Loma Davis displays surprise and pleasure after receiving Castleview auxiliary's life membership honors.
In 1973, 14 people conducted a meeting in Price in an attempt to organize a group of volunteers to assist the hospital and help with patients. Davis was a member of the group of organizers.
Davis has been an integral part of the local volunteer program since Oct. 5, 1973. She has contributed 11,610 hours and more than 30 years of service to the volunteer auxiliary.
Davis has occupied the office of president eight times, served on all auxiliary committees and represented the hospital on the state board for two years.
When Davis was working at the hospital, she was frequently interrupted by visitors and former patients who wanted to say hello, pointed out the auxiliary. She would respond with a giggle and a smile that lit up her face and made her eyes sparkle. She was a friend to everyone, young or old, sick or well.
Davis knew the auxiliary's policy and procedure manual by heart and followed the guidelines faithfully.
Davis has left an indelible mark on the history of service to the hospital, concluded the auxiliary.

Last fall we got rather attached to tights, to put it mildly. We were so dedicated that when spring rolled around, well, bare legs made us feel uncomfortably nude. If you too suffer from modest legs, you'll be delighted to know that tights are back this season in a big, bold way.
While our opaque black tights (gray too!) will still be clutch when temperatures cool down, now is the time to buy bright tights. Early adapters Kylie Minogue and Kim Stewart have recently sported this style, choosing the WWWD approved colors hot pink and turquoise (we also like bright yellow and purples). Both went for the "safe" approach by wearing their shocking stockings with all-black outfits. We mean no disrespect, of course, as this is a great way for newbies to try the look.
If you'd like to be a little more daring, take some cues from the fall runways. One option is a mod-inspired monochromatic look (like at Pucci). For the truly bold, wear a pair with either a pattern (like at Moschino) or graphic print (like at Balenciaga). The unexpected pop of color is the perfectly refreshing.
The best thing about this Go Buy Now is that it's both easily accessible and affordable. Check out WWWD's guide for buying these stockings below!
American Apparel Opaque Pantyhose ($14, americanapparel.net)
These tights are available in fun colors like Poppy, Mustard, Plum, and Violet.
Urban Outfitters Sparkle & Fade Opaque Tights (2 for $20, urbanoutfitters.com)
We've mentioned these before, but we still love them, preferably in Hot Pink, Bright Blue, and Bright Yellow.
Wolford Velvet Deluxe 50 Tights ($42, wolfordboutiquelondon.com)
Stateside, these amazing stockings will be available in three bright shades: True Red, Galapagos Green, and Mazarine Blue. If you're dying for another color, you can have them shipped from the UK via Wolford's website.
Balenciaga Tights ($125, 212.206.0872)
The most covetable of the bunch, Balenciaga's are available in both safe (black, gray) and super (hot pink, turquoise) shades.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) - The owner of a Silver Spring pawn shop has filed a formal complaint with Montgomery County Police over the alleged conduct of its officers.
He claims that two police officers came into Best Pawn on Wednesday to investigate an alleged theft there, but when they discovered two loaded guns behind the counter, things took a dramatic turn.
Only on 9, Andrea McCarren obtained surveillance video of the incident
She reports that what is clear in this case is: it is legal for a store owner or supervisory employee to possess a loaded gun in their business and to do so without a permit. But Montgomery County Police say that a worker under the age of 21 should not have had access.
The store's owner disputes that claim and, consistent with the formal complaint filed on Monday, his employees allege the officers used excessive force and acted in an unprofessional manner.
"I was helpless. I was handcuffed. Every time I began to speak, they pretty much told me to hush up," said Alexander, a store employee, who, like the store manager and assistant manager, wanted only his first name used.
The surveillance video shows the two police officers bringing the 20-year-old pawn shop employee to the ground and handcuffing him. Police say that was only after he refused to sit down. And they had questions.
"Why did we need to have a firearm? I told him that basically we have crazy customers. You never know when you might need them. And then he began to say, to imply that he could shoot me right now at this very moment. That's when I literally just sat there and was in awe," Alexander said.
Assistant manager Ingrid said, "He said, 'I'm a cop and I can do whatever I want. This is my country.' "
Moments later, the assistant manager, shown here in the yellow shirt, is also handcuffed while helping a customer on the other side of the counter.
"I asked one of the police officers, 'Why are you doing this to us?'" she said.
Based on the officers' alleged behavior, she says she feared they were imposters and that the pawn shop was about to be robbed.
"He said are you that stupid? You are a grown woman. How come you don't know what's going on here?" Ingrid said.
The surveillance video shows the officers barricade the front door with a blower, unplug the phones and the employees allege, they shouted at the customers to get out.
"When he started unplugging the phones, I started oh God, what's going on? Please let me be with my kids. And I was thinking, I'm sorry," Ingrid said.
The employees allege the officers did more than just handcuff them. Alexander says at one point, they took his cell phone.
"My mom called and literally they dropped the phone and looked at each other and smirked and laughed. At that point, it was personal," Alexander said.
The employees say they are traumatized. The store manager, who wasn't at the pawn shop, but who has viewed the video, says he too is distraught.
"These people cannot berate and insult us because you have a badge and a gun. We're people, we have feelings, we have souls. Treat us as such," said Edward, the store manager.
In response, a police spokesman alleges there was a lot of yelling and rude behavior toward the officers and that they acted cautiously because they didn't know how many more loaded weapons might be in the store.
Montgomery County Police could not provide us with a copy of the incident report because of an open investigation. Maryland State Police tell us that for someone under the age of 21, access to and possession of a loaded gun in a business are considered different in the eyes of the law, so it will have to be determined which the 20 year-old had.

My Tongue Piercing
I'd always wanted my tongue pierced since the idea had first entered my mind, probably when I was about 11 years old. I'd begged and begged my mother to let me do it, to no avail for years.
When I was 16, I finally decided, I didn't care if my mother wanted me to have it or not, she'll get over it and love me regardless of a little piece of metal through my tongue. So, needless to say, on a day in May, a friend of mine and myself went against both our parent's will, falsified our ages (I made a fake drivers permit, my friend stole her sister's ID) and we had our tongues pierced.
As a word of advice, don't falsify your age, just wait or beg your parents more. Most reputable piercing parlors will know if you have a fake ID, if they pierce you without proper ID, I would question their credibility as professional piercers. *Luckily*, my friend and I had a good experience with our piercer and have suffered no ill effects. So, if you're thinking about getting a fake ID and getting a piercing done, think again, don't put yourself in a bad situation. just tell your parents that you are going to do it anyway, and you'd rather play it safe, go to a reputable piercer that practices good sanitation and would like their consent.
we both opted for 10g barbells, a little larger than the standard 12g barbell. The procedure was not painful at all. I did not even feel the needle go through. However, afterward, my mouth felt really uncomfortable, but definitely not unbearable. The discomfort subsided in about 3 days. Now, I have an 8g barbell and I still very much love the piercing, almost three years later.
My Nipple Piercings
Since I had gotten my tongue pierced previously in my life, I knew I wanted another piercing and turning 18 was not far away. I wasn't sure what piercing i wanted. I'd wanted my lip pierced, but I was undecided — I didn't want to close any doors of opportunity in relation to occupations. I'd also been considering having my nipples pierced, but I didn't know if I really wanted to deal with healing them for 6 months to a year.
Suddenly, all became clear. I had just turned 18 and I was at a club that I go to regularly, talking to a friend of a friend. I had not known him personally for more than a few days and we were just discussing random things that new acquaintances talk about. I had just broken up with my boyfriend, he had just broken up with his girlfriend, and we discovered that in addition to exiting relationships at the same time, we both had a lot of similarities. We joked, and said, "hey! we're so alike, we should get married."
Then the topic of piercing came up in conversation. We both wanted a new piercings, and he was thinking about getting his nipples pierced, and i said, "hey! me too!" (not to mention a guy with pierced nipples is ultra attractive to me)….so, right there and then, we set a date to go get our piercings done the following Tuesday, 3 days later.
That Tuesday, we headed down to Infinite Body Piercing in Philadelphia, and had our IDs checked, filled out forms, and waited for about 10 minutes before we were called back.
We were helped/pierced by Kevin. He was very friendly and he made me feel comfortable and at ease (he must have some talent to make a topless stranger-female comfortable!). The piercing room[s] smelled like doctor's offices and were set up and just as clean as a doctor's office. Kevin asked who wanted to go first, and Matt enthusiastically exclaimed, "ME!!! I will!!"
Kevin set up his equipment (with gloved hands, changing gloves several times the entire time we were there). He cleaned Matt's nipples, marked them with a non-toxic sharpie marker, gave the marker to Matt, asked him if he was ready and continued to clamp and pierce Matt's nipples. It took probably less than 30 seconds to pierce both of his nipples, and apparently, it had not hurt Matt at all, and the needle effortlessly slid through his nipple.
Now it was my turn. Kevin followed the same procedure with me after he disposed of the equipment he had used on Matt and set up new equipment for me. He carefully marked both of my nipples, as i was in a standing position and asked me if i was ok and ready to go. He clamped my nipple and told me to take a deep breath and that he would pierce on the exhale. OUCH. The first nipple hurt a bit, it wasn't really that unbearable. Just kinda felt like someone had bit it hard. It kind of shocked me a little at first because I was watching/anticipating pain. I took a short break and then I was ready for the second nipple. Matt distracted me by talking to me, and I barely felt the second nipple getting pierced.
Neither of us knew what getting our nipples pierced would mean. Now, I guess we can consider it our first "date." Currently, my nipples have healed nicely and it has been almost a year since they've been pierced and Matt and I have pretty much been inseparable ever since. Now, we joke that we are married and we've got rings to prove it.

The Louvre museum opened a new satellite branch among the slag heaps of a former mining town Tuesday in a bid to bring high culture and visitors to one of France's poorest areas. Greeted by a group of former miners in overalls and hardhats, President Francois Hollande inaugurated today the Japanese-designed glass and polished-aluminium branch of the Louvre in the northern city of Lens.

Comments about Outdoor Research Incandescent Hoody (Women's):
I love this jacket. When I first got it I was a little concerned that it was so warm that I wouldn't get to wear it much, but actually I ended up wearing it daily for most of the fall and winter. It's warm enough to be perfect on very cold days and in the snow, but it's also really nice on cool, damp days. I'm a kayak instructor, and this jacket is perfect to throw on after a day on the water. It feels snuggly and fixes that feeling of being cold to the bone, but the fit is flattering and feminine. The jacket is very light and scrunches up into a pocket that doubles as a stuff sack. Although it's not advertised as a rain jacket, I've worn mine in lots of rain showers and it stays warm and dries quickly. It's lightweight, and the hood is adjustable and perfect for keeping the ears warm without feeling bulky. I love it!

Kevin Costner turns 58 today!
The actor's career is still going strong; he just won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Devil Anse Hatfield in "Hatfields & McCoys" and will appear in this summer's blockbuster "Man of Steel" as Jonathan Kent, Superman's adoptive father.
Kevin had a string of hits in the early '90s, including his Oscar-winning "Dances With Wolves," "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," and "The Bodyguard."
Check out the side-by-side photo of Kevin from the 1991 Golden Globes and last weekend's event.
The years have been pretty good to Kevin, who is still quite handsome (especially after ditching his silly soul patch). But what about his contemporaries like Val Kilmer and Jason Patric? Do they still look as good? Find out by clicking our "Launch Gallery" button above!

ESTES PARK, Colo. (AP) - An Irish pub not far from Rocky Mountain National Park got an unusually burly visitor last week.
KCNC-TV in Denver reports a black bear briefly wandered into Lonigan's pub in downtown Estes Park.
Daniel Lyell, of Estes Park, says he followed the bear inside and took a photo of it while trying to warn customers up front that a bear was walking toward them. He says customers didn't seem to notice. The bear left a short time later.
The bar's owner and bartender didn't see the bear either, but a surveillance camera shows it ambling past empty tables and chairs.
Bar owner David Callahan tells the Estes Park Trail-Gazette this is the second time he knows of that a bear has entered the saloon.

Eugene targets 'party central' in University neighborhood
EUGENE, Ore. - "Party central" faces stepped up police presence as students return to town ahead of fall term at the University of Oregon.
Police plan to book people caught with open containers of alcohol into the Springfield Jail until they can post bail instead of just issuing citations.
And city and neighborhood leaders have also proposed stiffer "social host" laws to punish not only the people who throw parties where people under 21 drink, but possibly their landlords or property managers, too.
"There are definitely kids who cause trouble," junior Harlan Mechling told KVAL News, "but I don't think the people that have the parties should be held responsible for that. If something like that passed, it puts me in a bind because I'm on a full ride scholarship, I've got a lot to lose, I can't put myself in that situation."
That is the idea, said Mike Kinnison, the City of Eugene's neighborhood services program manager.
"There also needs to be consequences for undesirable behavior and it has to be consequences that motivate people to change as well," he said, "so I think that taking that approach can be effective."
The social host penalties came out of a discussion that started in March 2010 at a livability summit.
The South University Neighborhood Association and other neighborhood groups near campus have worked since then with the city and university to develop strategies to curb loud parties, alcohol consumption and other problem behaviors.
"Social host laws are being used to good effect in other communities that have universities and have similar conflicts that we're having here," Kinnison said. Such a law "holds persons responsible for hosting unruly gatherings at a residence typically where there is underage drinking."
City and state law enforcement also plan to do targeted "party patrols" in the neighborhoods along Ferry Street between 13th and 18th avenues. The area saw drunken riots in both 2008 and 2010, and police report an uptick in the last 5 years in underage drinking.
"The whole 13th through 17th, Hilyard through High Street, that's party central," Mechling told KVAL News. "You'll just see like a hundred freshman, just walking down these streets, they don't know where they're going."
Oregon junior Alex Noordhoek said "party central" shouldn't come as a surprise to city and university officials.
"They squeeze all these students into this little neighborhood in between I don't know, 18th and 13th, and there's gonna be some problems of some sort," Noordhoek said. "I think when kids get drunk they're going to forget about (the law) instantly, and if they want to throw a party, if they're the kind of people that are going to let their party get out of control, it's gonna happen probably no matter what."
Police plan to do more educational outreach to students in the area about alcohol and city and state law, said Melinda Kletzok, a Eugene Police Department spokeswoman.
New university students under 21 will be required to complete an alcohol education course.
And police plan to hit the streets in "party patrols" on weekend nights, especially the weekend before fall term begins.
Tharon Hutchinson works in the area. She liked the sound of the idea but was skeptical of any long term changes.
"It might prevent them for some time," she said, "but I think they'll just go back to it because students are going to be students."
But police plan to step up potential penalties allowed under the law. Instead of issuing citations for jailable offenses, police will now start arresting people for open containers, prohibited noise, furnishing alcohol to a minor, interfering with a police officer and other violations.
Offenders will be taken to the Springfield Jail until they can post bail. >>> List of alcohol offenses
"If you're trying to enforce stuff like that, you're just going to piss off a lot of students," Mechling predicted. "The party will continue. This is Eugene, Oregon. This is 13th and Ferry; this is party central."

When Research In Motion rolled out its answer to Apple's iPad, the Blackberry Playbook, a loyal RIM community of customers eagerly awaited the release of the Canadian company's tablet. While market anticipation was high, sales have shown, that the Blackberry's PlayBook has not stormed the tech world as hoped. In fact, the debut of the BlackBerry tablet seems to have marked a snowball effect of bad news and lost credibility for RIM in 2011. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Before the jailbreak incident, this alternative tablet was poised as promising market success. However, Google's Android OS based tablets the iPad 2 and iPad 3 took and continues to hold consumer mindset and the lion's share of the market. Apple's breakthrough marketing strategy was the catalyst that actually created the both the tablet market consumer demand. State of the art accessories? Customer driven innovations? Unfortunately, RIM marketing campaign for the Blackberry PlayBook was not revolutionary enough for a discerning public. The bottom line of this failure in mediocrity was a $485 million loss in the third quarter of 2011 due to the PlayBook's sluggish sales. Let our trend setting fashionable cases and skin accessories express your unique style. Make your mobile devices stand out. Customize your look - how cool can you be?
Throughout the holiday season mobile retailers and device manufacturers alike look to close out the year's sales strong. Research In Motion was no different except that they started aggressively dropping prices in an attempt to clear out the excess inventory. These discounts did appear to help both RIM's and their distribution partners move units of the QNX based tablet. Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
With any luck, RIM can recoup some losses, move the tablets, and start out the new year on a higher note. To kick off these goals, they are making all three of their PlayBook models for $299. That is an outrageously steep $400 discount off the 64GB version. In addition to these discounts, the company would be smart to pair it with promoting the accompanying tablet accessories.
If they can successfully lure in customers, upsell accessories and spin a silver lining around the cloudy RIM brand with the upcoming update... which is slated native email among other great improvements, the PlayBook and RIM can learn from 2011's mistakes and launch itself back into an increasingly competitive market in an effort to carve out a niche.
