This weekend, the European League of Football reaches the semifinal stage with two mouthwatering matchups. The number one seed and unbeaten Vienna Vikings (12-0) will play host to the fourth seed Paris Musketeers (11-2) who are coming off a thrilling 40-37 victory over the Munich Ravens in the Wild Card round. Meanwhile, the defending champion Rhein Fire (12-1) who also needed to go through the Wild Card stage where they downed the Madrid Bravos 40-10, will face the Stuttgart Surge (12-1) in a rematch of the 2023 Championship Game.

ELF: Semifinals promise fireworks

The 2024 European League of Football playoff semifinals will kickoff on Saturday as the Paris Musketeers travel to Austria to face the Vienna Vikings. The Vikings finished the regular season 12-0 for the second consecutive year. Last year, though, they lost their semifinal game in a surprising upset against the Stuttgart Surge, so they will want to avoid the same fate this time around. The 2022 champions have had the benefit of playing a pretty easy schedule this season, as they did not face any of the five other playoff teams at all. As such, despite their perfect record, they are relatively untested, at least compared to the Musketeers.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

It is a natural thing for me to declutter and get organized four times a year in accordance with the seasons. Maybe it is a New England thing because the seasonal change is a noticeable transitional period.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
