Chevy S10 - GMC S15 and Sonoma Fuel Pump and Fuel System
platinumr1 Posts: 3Did you drop the tank or take the bed off to put in the new pump? It is easy to overlook the issue of having a bad ground but if you removed the bed, you will have had to disconnect the black ground wire from the rear of the bed. Make sure that is reattached and you may get your fuel pump to activate/turn on.
zack092091 Posts: 1Will not get power to the pump. Truck sat for years went to start it the gauge quit working and i found out the pump pickup tube and pump where no good. Replaced them all. Still will not get power to the pump. I ran a jump wire to the positive on the fuel pump harness. Still will not activate the fuel pump. I test the pump out of the truck with a hot and ground. It works just fine. I checked the wires to the fuse box still no power, but the ignition all the wires where hot but the one that ingauges the starter, which later gets hot when cranking over the truck. Any ideas? possibly email me at zack 092091 @ hotmail.com?
If you jumped a hot 12vdc wire to the fuel pump connector on the truck did you also ground the the pump?
The power to the fuse box goes through a fuel pump relay, which should energize for a few seconds when you key on. I assumed you checked the fuel pump fuse also? If the fuse is good could be the fuel pump relay or I have seen wires chewed in two by mice or chipmunks after setting for a while.
i have a 1999 sonoma 4x4 with 4.3 ltr vortec it was running fine and i shut it off for a minute and wouldn't start and had no fuel pressure and pump wasn't working ....so i bought a new one ...2 days later ..same issue ..shut it off and hr later won't start and no pressure ...my fuel pump is covered by warranty but i don't think it's a pump issue anymore ....anyone have any suggestions ...i have noticed this is a commom problem with these trucks so someone must have figured it out by now as i'm stumped ...fuses and relays are good wires aren't pinched and grounds good so whats left? and abviously no pressure but something causes it to shut off ...another relay?
duesty Posts: 1To get started I have a 2000 GMC Sonoma, 4.3L V6. There are numerous issues with it.
1. It has a hard time starting, have to jump it often. It turns over just fine but it seems that when I get it hooked up to another vehicle it's like magic and all of a sudden it wants to start. To me it seems that the fuel is having a hard time getting to the engine. I was told most likely the fuel pressure regulator.
2. When it does get started it seems to chug along for the first couple of minutes, like it's not getting enough fuel. Would this be the fuel pressure regulator as well? I was told that when the fuel pump is junk that there is no in between with it, either it works or it doesn't. This is why I'm thinking fuel pressure regulator. Any thoughts?
3. Also I've been driving along and come to a hill and all of a sudden I lose all power. I then can only go 10 mph or it will chug and bog down. To me I would guess fuel issues yet again.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions or similar problems with this vehicle?
Thanks for any help!
holclint Posts: 1I have a 2000 chevy s10 2.2L. When I went to star it ,it started and then shut down. I found the ECM B fuse blown. I replaced the fuse, strted it again and it blew the fusse and shut down. Where could the short be other than the fuel pump. WHEN i replace the fuse and turn the ign. on the fuel pump runs for 2-3 seconds to prime. THE FUSE DOES NOT BLOW UNTIL i START THE ENGINE.

Microsoft and MCI said Monday they'll soon offer a service that lets customers place calls from their personal computers to regular phones. But the service will permit only outbound calls at first, even as rivals Yahoo and America Online allow instant messaging users to receive calls from conventional phones as well as to call out. Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, and MCI, the telecommunications provider being acquired by Verizon Communications, said they will begin a test run of the service in the United States this week. Broader availability is set for the first half of next year.
The service will use technology from Teleo, a small startup Microsoft acquired in August. Teleo's Internet telephony software lets people make voice calls by clicking on phone numbers appearing on a Web pages. It's the latest offering to use voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, technology. Calls are broken into data packets that get routed over the Internet, an approach that is cheaper and more efficient than the traditional circuit-switched phone system.

The 2011 Ural Patrol-T is a Russian-made, dual purpose, touring motorcycle that includes a standard sidecar and two-wheel drive. All Ural motorcycles are sold and distributed by the IMZ-Ural group that operates as a U.S. corporation and is registered in Washington state. The IMZ-Ural group acts as the parent company for the factory in Irbit, Russia, where Urals are manufactured. The 2011 Ural Patrol-T mixes nostalgic looks with mostly modern components. The Ural is an astoundingly capable offroad vehicle. The Ural Patrol-T can seat up to three riders with two on the saddle seat and one in the sidecar. The sidecar can hold up to 400 pounds which makes the Patrol-T a versatile alternative to ATVs and other dual purpose motorcycles. With a throw of a lever mounted near the right-side differential area, the rear wheel and sidecar wheel can be engaged for two-wheel power. This makes the Ural Patrol-T capable of transporting riders through deep mud, snow, and other non-traditional motorcycle surfaces. Ural has combined a rudimentary, air-cooled, boxer-style engine with modern components like Brembo brakes, Sachs shocks, and Herzog gears. While the underpinnings found on the 2011 Ural Patrol-T may be low-spec, they provide solid durability and are easy to repair.
The 2011 Ural Patrol-T lacks some of the doomsday-preparer accessories found in pricier Ural models, but these can be acquired through dealers or aftermarket suppliers. Urals can be factory equipped with everything from a spare wheel/tire to accessories like a shovel, first aid kit, or toolkit. The air-cooled, overhead valve, twin-cylinder, boxer engine produces modest power. However, this cycle isn't intended to be a fast commuter or a canyon carver. The 2011 Ural Patrol-T will take riders to areas previously off limits for two-wheel bikes and carry them there with enough gear to stay put for awhile. A reverse gear eliminates the need for a tight turning radius when changing course from a standstill.
It may take some time driving the Patrol-T before riders feel comfortable. The engine is coarse and loud, and effectively managing a cycle with a sidecar takes some skill and experience. The sidecar enables effortless left hand turns on account of its extra tire grip with the sidecar loaded. However, tight turns at speed are potentially hazardous, leading to loss of control, when a significant amount of weight is not in the sidecar to counter balance (ballast weight) while turning.

Councillors object to home change plan in Popley (From Basingstoke Gazette)
When news happens, text BAZ and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Councillors Jane and Paul Frankum explain why they oppose planning application
2:00pm Friday 10th January 2014 in News By Jessica Bave
A THREE-bedroom house in Popley could soon be transformed into a flat and a maisonette, if the plan is given the green light by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.
A two-bedroom maisonette and a one-bedroom flat have been proposed at the property – 104 Melrose Walk – after the planning application was submitted by applicant, Mr Benjamin Inker, on December 17.
If approved, the ground floor flat would be accessed through the front of the existing building and the two-bedroom maisonette would be accessed through a separate rear entrance.
Occupants of the two properties, if approved, will also have three car parking spaces, one within the rear garden and two outside the property on a verge directly behind the rear garden.
But two borough councillors for Popley West have expressed concern at potential problems that could be caused by the development.
In a report to the borough council's development control committee, Councillor Jane Frankum said: "I object to this application as there is not enough room in the small back garden to accommodate one car, two green bins, two black bins, two glass collection and cycles."
When talking about how the plan will use public space to park the other two cars planned for the site, she added: "This would result in the children who use this route to their schools – infant, junior and senior – having to walk in the road."
Cllr Paul Frankum added: "I agree with Cllr Jane Frankum on this application and would add that when Melrose Walk was built, the design balanced the number of flats and houses and already the balance has changed and resulted in a loss of three-bedroom family homes that are much-needed in the community, and created more vehicles parking in a thoughtless and dangerous manner."
The outcome of the application will be decided by members of the borough council at a development control committee on January 15.

Is the verge owned by the property owner? If not, then why do they think they can use it for parking cars? We already have too many drivers dumping their vehicles on verges and pavements. Keep pavements and verges free from traffic.

Basingstoke, if this is news something is wrong. It makes perfect sense (if one wanted to house more families/people) to use the available space to do so. The parking at this location is NOT an issue, rather the vehicles parked haphazardly along curbs are. School children need only to utilise the footpath of Melrose Walk along the front of these buildings. It's a lovelier tree-lined view anyway. To those who've wasted their energies opposing changes to Popley which are likely to be positive, I say, get a life.

Local councillors in 'wish we'd have thought of it first' shenanigans. They should concentrate on the new estates being built in the area with insufficient parking which means people park on footpaths.

RALEIGH — WakeMed has agreed to pay $8 million to settle an investigation into its practice of billing Medicare for expensive overnight care when the patients had been treated and discharged the same day.
The settlement came after a lengthy criminal investigation into Medicare billing procedures used by nurses at the private, not-for-profit hospitals Heart Center Observation Area.
Nurses there, according to federal court documents, routinely ignored physicians orders for how a patient should be classified. Their actions resulted in the hospital receiving millions of unwarranted Medicare dollars for outpatients who were classified wrongly as inpatients.
Though some WakeMed managers were aware of the billing practices, according to court documents, investigators found no evidence of anyone personally benefiting from the system.
No one, according to WakeMed officials, lost their job or was disciplined because of the investigation.
In an interview Wednesday, Bill Atkinson, WakeMeds president and CEO, wavered between accepting the charges saying repeatedly I dont want to minimize it, and I dont want you to hear me doing that and being adamant that the hospitals actions were simply a misinterpretation of complicated federal Medicare guidelines.
Even though he endorsed a settlement agreement in which prosecutors contend two crimes occurred, Atkinson said he doesnt believe the hospitals actions were criminal.
I dont think so, but the federal government thinks they could certainly turn it that way, he said. That description differs vastly from what prosecutors contend.Theyre not going to minimize the media effect, Atkinson said.
Thomas Walker, the top federal prosecutor for the judicial district that includes Raleigh, announced the settlement Wednesday with a strong caution to other health care organizations.
This case will serve as a reminder that hospitals, just like individual health care providers, will be held accountable for their actions, Walker, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, said in a statement. Medicare is a program that relies upon its providers to only bill for services that are actually provided. Unfortunately, that system of trust carries with it the inherent potential for abuse.
Medicare is the program that pays for medical treatment for Americans 65 and older. The current battle in Washington over the deficit has put Medicare, which represents approximately 15 percent of federal spending, under scrutiny.
The investigation of WakeMed stems from a 2007 audit done for federal regulators assigned to root out Medicare fraud. WakeMed had the highest rate in North Carolina and the seventh-highest rate in the country of zero-day stay billings, or bills to Medicare for inpatient hospital stays that lasted less than a day, according to the audit.
Federal prosecutors got involved after the auditors had difficulty reconciling the data with hospital admission policies and details provided by WakeMed managers in subsequent interviews. All the billing cases flagged by investigators were from WakeMeds heart center, which has long served as the hospitals big money maker.
Federal investigators subpoenaed hospital records and conducted further interviews as they worked to build a criminal case.
The investigators contend that WakeMeds director of Patient Access oversaw and was responsible for a Patient Access staff that routinely ignored doctors orders about how to classify patients at the cardiac center. Sometimes doctors sent orders without classifying a patient, and nurses took it upon themselves to decide whether Medicare should be billed for the pricier inpatient services.
The patient access staff was instructed to, and did in fact, ignore physician designations of status as outpatient on written orders, prosecutors contend in the deferred action settlement agreement. Likewise, the nurses of the patient access staff were not instructed to, nor did they consult with the referring physician prior to admitting patients as inpatients on WakeMeds electronic database in contravention of a written order.
Heidi McAfee, who retired earlier this year, was director of Patient Access during much of the period when the problematic billing occurred. Efforts to reach McAfee on Wednesday were unsuccessful, but Atkinson praised her years of work with WakeMed.
Do I think anybody intentionally did anything wrong? Atkinson said. No, I dont.
He said WakeMed had not reported McAfee or any of the nurses to the N.C. Board of Nursing for ignoring doctors orders. He stressed that none of the decisions were about patient care.
This is not a clinical care question, Atkinson said. This is a billing question.
The hospital faces two criminal charges making material false statements relating to health care matters and aiding and abetting, but under the settlement reached Wednesday, prosecution will be deferred. If the hospital complies with provisions in the settlement agreement, such as paying $8 million and allowing further monitoring, the charges will be dismissed in two years, according to court documents.
As part of the agreement, which has yet to be approved in court, Atkinson acknowledged the wrongdoing described by prosecutors. He further acknowledged that WakeMed was responsible for the acts of the health-care organizations employees and officers.
WakeMed saw 110,000 Medicare patients in 2010. The 52-year old hospital has never been sanctioned by Medicare before.
WakeMed has paid more than $1.2 million to the Medicare program for some of the questionable claims. The hospital is to pay an additional $6.7 million by next week.
Both Atkinson and federal prosecutors said WakeMed took steps quickly to fix the billing problem.
Under the settlement agreement, WakeMed officials are prohibited from discussing how many cases were singled out by prosecutors, but Atkinson said it was a small percentage of the hospitals overall business.

All the latest Apple news, featuring developments on the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, OS X and much more.
A video showing the opening of a Samsung store in Brazil has music and dancing -- maybe too much dancing.
Unlike Apple's clear victory in the first Apple v. Samsung trial over patent infringement, this time around the jury returned a mixed verdict. CNET's Kara Tsuboi and Shara Tibken explain why the case was about more than money.
Apple and Samsung will have one hour each to present more testimony Monday, rather than wrap up evidence Friday, because of an appeals court ruling related to one of the patents at issue in the case.
That's the claim out of Korea where Samsung reportedly met with Under Armour to discuss how the two companies could collaborate on wearables.
New ads from Samsung show that its Galaxy Tab S is far better for parenting than some Apple product -- and the screen is better for enjoying movies.
Jae Shin, VP of Samsung's Knox mobile security group, says that once upon a time people were moved by branding. Now, he says, they know better.
CNET breaks down Amazon's newly unveiled Fire phone handset, and see how its specs compare to Apple and Samsung's current flagships.
Don't think for a minute that Apple is becoming less dependent yet on Samsung for some key components in 2014.
Early-May trial verdict found Samsung infringed three Apple mobile patents. Apple wants gadgets using the features banned.
Using characters from movies through the years, Samsung's new curved TV ad makes the whole thing seem very important.

Special to The Sun
CHICAGO — Tory Caldwell had 22 saves while the Bronchos laid 26 shots on net, however the University of Central Oklahoma was unable to find twine, falling to the Minot State University Beavers 5-0 Saturday in the second round of the 2013 ACHA National Tournament.
It is the second straight year for a second-round exit from the national tournament for the Bronchos (23-15).
"(Minot) came out with tremendous intensity," UCO head coach Craig McAlister said. "We couldn't match it, and they're a bigger and stronger team than we are. All we can do is match them with speed, but their speed, we weren't ready for it in that first period."
The Beavers (28-4) needed six minutes to get onto the board, with Sam McGeough and Jared McIntosh feeding Dan Lamb for the score on Caldwell. Lamb would score again seven minutes later, but not after Brady Haygarth scored at the 13-minute mark.
McGeough would net his own goal in the second period, while Donnie Iverson put the final score up with only 30 seconds remaining in the third.
UCO, despite trailing Minot State by only one in the shot department, were hampered by penalties. Ryan Marrs picked up four out of UCO's 11 game penalties, including a game misconduct for roughing in the third period, along with Minot's Logan Herauf. Peter Kressner also notched three penalties, two in the third.
"Minot actually deserved to win this game, they were the bigger and better team today," McAlister said. "There is no doubt in my mind that they are the favorites for the national championship."
With the win, Minot State will go on to the next round, where they will face UCO's in-state rivals, the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Bronchos now return to Edmond, where they will have a week off before beginning their offseason program of workouts and conditioning, as well as the team's recruiting efforts and the ever-popular intrasquad tournament, the Broncho Cup.

Fuel dilution issues in 2007 2010 light-duty turbo-diesel pickups
Communicate the discovery and cause of excessive fuel
dilution in 20072010 light-duty diesel pickups from Ford,
GM and Dodge and the resultant reduction in the drain
interval recommendation for AMSOIL Premium Diesel Oils
in these applications.
AMSOIL has documented increasing levels of diesel fuel
contamination (fuel dilution) in the engine oil in 2007
2008 light-duty diesel pickups from all major vehicle
manufacturers, and indications are that 2009 - 2010
models are affected as well.
Research indicates that fuel dilution is intensifying due to
the use of in-cylinder post-fuel injection during the engines
exhaust stroke to regenerate the diesel particulate fi lter
Fuel in the oil reduces the oils life expectancy and
effectiveness. Because diesel fuel is a natural solvent, fuel
dilution in motor oil causes a decrease in viscosity which

We feel awful for Mike when he sees that he barely figures in MJ's drawing of his family. He tries the quick fix of buying MJ a bike, but then doesn't have time to teach him. In his absence, Jackson steps in, a definite problem when Mike finally comes over to show MJ the basics! We can't really approve of Susan's solution: She orders MJ to fake a few spills and he ends up with a sprained arm. At the hospital, MJ admits he fell on purpose and Susan tells Mike that being divorced means that they'll both miss important moments in their son's life.

Can any one please tell me where I can buy an induction kit for my A6. It's an Audi 2.4 1999 V6. I've looked and looked but can't find anything. Thanks.
Can any one please tell me where I can buy an induction kit for my A6. It's an Audi 2.4 1999 V6. I've looked and looked but can't find anything. Thanks.
I'm looking to get one for my 1998 2.8 V6 and unfortunately it's going to have to be a custom build with a universal induction kit.
First off you'll need to select a capable induction cone (some of the K&N kits look good - maybe the apollo or typhoon - http://www.knfilters.com).
The only real problem is going to be how to mount it to the system. The 2.8V6 MAF unit has an intake diameter of slightly over 75mm, so I intend to make up a small bracket that can still bolt to the MAF but will also increase the intake to about 80mm so that any universal induction kit should be able to mount onto it quite securely.
That's really as difficult as it gets. Only other option is if you choose to run a cold air pipe, but that's simple enough.
If you want any brackets made up at all then let me know, I'm a dab-hand with a bit of metalwork.
Hi Chris, Thanks for the advise. Looks like I will have to buy a universal intake and manufacture a flange to connect it to the Air Flow Meter. Thanks again.
hope you realise that the oem airbox is very efficient and you wont get any gains from using a K&N filter or other type.
You may get a bit more noise, but watch out if you oil the filter as it may screw up the MAF.
A6 3.0TDI Quattro Avant Le Mans
A6 2.5tdi Quattro Sport 180 Sadly Missed
A6 1.9tdi Avant ................. Gladly missed
A6 2.8 Quattro .................. Sadly missed
Quattro 2.8 Coupe ............. Sadly missed
SatNav, BT, AMI, DAB
Tis true, the current airbox is very effective for what it has to do and an induction kit isn't necessary, but there are advantages:
1. It sounds much better
2. It allows more room behind the headlight unit, the airbox is crammed in
3. It looks gorgeous.
Problems can always be expected, but it is possible to overcome anything. Mine is now on order, will let you know how it goes.
I'm getting the car chipped on Tuesday (03/07/07) and been advised through Demon Tweeks to keep the original and fit a K&N panel filter as it's probably the best option. So thats what I'm gonna do and I'l be back and let you know the results. Once this is sorted I'm gonna fit new disc's, pads and then.......................
.......... Nitrous!
Should of mentioned that I've just spent �700 on a competition SS exhaust and it sounds bloody perfect. It's been lowered by 40mm and de-badged, other than that it looks normal. It really is becoming a wolf in sheeps clothing. I wanna keep the original wheels but pretty soon will buy a set of 18" or 19" er's.
Oh, and I'm 45 so watch out all you "Boy Racers" cos I'm coming to get you!
Well I can't see an induction kit actually reducing performance. I'll just be glad of removing the lump of plastic from the engine bay. The flange is almost fully fabricated and the induction kit arrived today. Just need some good weather to get out there and fit it in.
Let me know how the nitrous goes, i'm tempted for that myself but I don't fancy putting too much pressure into the ageing engine. I got a set of 18" audi alloys from RSR tyres for about £450 i think. Always haggle, they will usually match eBay prices.
hi i have just fitted an induction kit to a 2.8 1998 a6 and yes it does make a diffrence to the performance .i used a bmc carbon air fillter from demon tweeks and a ally top hat to mate up with the maff sensor to join the air box to the top hat i got a sillcon hose made up by graham goodes i have photos how to do it if you need any its really easy when you get the parts .it took me about 4 hours to make it all fit and what a noise it makes after 3000 revs well worth the trouble
Mine is still in the process of bracket fabrication, gotta make it look special, he he. Hopefully be done by the weekend though.

tried britains got talent no good at it guess i am to sensitive. and yes i can notice the diffrence the car is more responsive when accelerating past 3000 rpm and as i said before makes a great soundOriginally Posted by Dan Gliballs
Yeah, I would say that my induction kit has very little effect on the overall BHP, but it does have a noticeable effect on throttle response. But this is probably only caused by the new direct air route through the cone filter, the old air box had way too many corners to restrict the airflow.
And every little BHP helps
I just thought I'd post a reply for all those wanting to install an induction kit.
The airbox can be removed with only a couple of clips and bolts nice and easy. Then an adapter bracket needs to be fabricated like the one below:
The main tube needs to be 70mm diameter so that you can get a 70mm internal diameter straight coupler silicone hose to connect to the induction kit (in this case the K&N Apollo):
The bracket can then be bolted straight onto the MAF and sorted. One small extra strap needs to be made to hold it up in the engine bay but that can be mounted to the old airbox mounting points.
definently don't need an induction kit. for what its worth i had a ride a couple weeks ago in a 700+bhp RS4 with an OEM airbox.
induction kit will lose you torque, the airbox is volume adjusted and port sized to keep it optimum.
however i like k&n panel filters they overall don't flow more than a standard filter but they do respond to changes in air flow better for performance. standard filters are excellent for economy
just a little a6

Hey Bulldogs!
Hey Bulldogs! (okay…out of my system)
Breslow pores over scouting reports during the regular season. He examines the recent trends of opposing hitters. He sees what these batters have done over their past 10 games with runners on base vs. no runners, and early in games vs. late, and against fastballs vs. offspeed pitches.
But what does he do during the offseason?
Well, he examines his own trends.
"I make sure there's no need for a complete overhaul," he said recently.
"I make sure my walk rates aren't rising and my strikeout rates aren't falling unless I'm replacing that. This year, I know my strikeouts were way down. But I also got way more ground balls than I ever had before.
"There was a time a couple of years ago when my numbers were pretty bad, at least my main core numbers such as my ERA. And I felt like my stuff was really the same. It (ended up being) just a case of a lot of bad luck. I was able to take a look at some of the advanced metrics and say, 'The reason it feels like whenever I give up a batted ball and it becomes a hit is because my batting average on balls in play is close to .400, which is unsustainably high.'
"So it wasn't that I needed to make complete adjustments. It was just that I needed to stay the course and at some points these things would normalize."
Those advanced metrics at times also have shown Breslow he must alter mechanics or add a pitch to his repertoire.
"I started throwing a sinker two years ago," he said.
"Since then you can quantify the change in my ability to generate ground balls. I've become a lot more successful facing lefties because I have the ability to run a ball in on their hands. So having data available to you is great but using it is even better."

The Valdosta State football team will close out its conference schedule tonight when it visits the Shorter Hawks at Rome's Barron Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
The game has been selected as the Gulf South Conference Game of the Week and will be broadcast live on CSS. Mediacom customers in the Valdosta area will be able to view the game on channel 230.
The game will also be made available on ESPN3.com and will be broadcast live to 6.5 million households.
The Hawks (4-4) are in their second year of a three-year transition process from the NAIA level to Division II and are competing against GSC teams, like Valdosta State, for the first time in school history. They are not eligible for postseason play this season, although the games do count towards conference records.
Shorter is 0-2 against GSC schools this season, losing to North Alabama (41-0) and West Alabama (49-7). Tonight will be the first-ever meeting between Valdosta State and Shorter, and will mark Shorter's first-ever home conference game.
"North Alabama was playing some very good football then, and, of course, everybody knows how good West Alabama is," Valdosta State head coach David Dean said. "So they have played two pretty good teams and they still have us, Delta and West Georgia to go. I think we all knew it was going to be a transition for them moving up to Division II.
"They have good athletes, I just don't think they have the depth that some of these other Gulf South Conference schools have."
While a win tonight would cap the Blazers' record region at 5-1 and would position them nicely in securing a playoff seed out of Super Region 2, the Blazers, who were ranked fourth in the first regional rankings of the season, are approaching the final two weeks of the season as must wins in order to make the playoffs and possibly win the conference.
West Alabama has yet to lose a conference game, but still has games against Delta State (on Saturday) and North Alabama (Nov. 8).
"Division II football is Division II football, no matter what region you are in," Dean said. "I think that is what they should go by — the Division II games that you play. Right now, we have two Division II games left. We have a Gulf South Conference game that we need to win and then sit back and put a little pressure on West Alabama because they have two tough games left.
"It's like posting a good score and getting into the clubhouse and letting the leader see that score the whole way in, and that is basically what (West Alabama) is going to have to do for three Saturdays in a row."
Valdosta State enters tonight's game with Shorter riding a four-game winning streak, including three straight conference wins. Last Saturday, the Blazers beat rival Delta State 59-41 behind 624 yards of total offense.
VSU is hoping to keep that offensive production going tonight, despite being without wide receiver Quin Roberson (neck) and possibly offensive lineman Edmund Kugbila (knee), who was listed as questionable earlier this week.
The key in tonight's game for the Blazer offense will be utilizing possessions, according to quarterback Cayden Cochran.
"We know they are a lot like some of the triple option teams we've played, and they are going to hold the ball for a lot of the game," said Cochran about Shorter's offense. "We looked at the West Alabama film and they ran 40-something plays on offense, where this (past) weekend we ran 80-something. So we are looking at it like an Edward Waters-type deal, where our offense is very limited and we can't leave a possession to question. We have to score every time, because they are going to have the ball most of the game."
Scoring on nearly every possession may not be difficult, given the Hawks have allowed 90 points in their two GSC games and have allowed an average of 427.5 yards per game. The Blazers are also averaging 42.5 points per contest.
A major part of VSU's offensive production this season has been the exceptional play of receivers Gerald Ford and Seantavious Jones, both of whom lead the conference with nine touchdown catches each.
"First off, hats off to Seantavious, Stretch as we call him," Ford said. "Whenever (defenses) focus on me, (Seantavious) kills them or Regginald (Lewis) kills them or Quin (Roberson) kills them. Whenever they focus on them, I just try to utilize my chances. So pick your poison."
Defensively, the Blazers will look to slow down the run-based Shorter offense, which is similar in style to that of West Alabama, Edward Waters and North Alabama, all teams the Blazers have faced this season.
"We are not really panicking as much trying to get the scheme down," cornerback Matt Pierce said. "We have been through this, so we are just going back over, re-touching some things and moving some stuff around. We feel pretty good."
Like the Blazer offense, the defense will be without several players tonight. Nose tackle Andrew Lauristen (ankle) is out, along with defensive back Xzavier Crane (broken arm).
Defensive tackle Lawrence Virgil will play despite injuring his ankle/foot last week.
Led by quarterback Eric Dobson (703 yards passing, 500 yards rushing, 11 total touchdowns), a graduate of Thomas County Central High School, and running back Bradley Moon (692 yards rushing, 9 touchdowns), the Hawks average 362.2 yards per game, 274 of which comes on the ground.
Dean said he remembers Dobson well from his playing days at TCC and said he is a dangerous player for the Hawks this season.
"I had (Dobson) in camp," Dean said. "I went to a camp up in Cochran (Ga.) every year, so I had him up there. He is a heck of a player and is a really good kid. He comes from a class organization over there at Thomas County Central. That is a winning program. I know he is going to be one of those guys that is hard to beat. He does a very good job at running that offense."
Although tonight's game will mark the first time the Blazers will face the Hawks, it is not the first time they have played at Barron Field. VSU played Carson-Newman in the inaugural game of the Nick Hyder Classic in 1997.
To help get a larger attendance at tonight's game, Shorter will honor its two NAIA national championship teams (softball and men's) from a year ago and it will also honor the men's basketball team, the men's and women's cross country team and men's and women's track teams for NAIA conference championships last season.

You're the director for the Sexual Assault Support Center, which services all six counties in the Chattahoochee Judicial District. What does your work entail?
The center provides crisis intervention and support for victims of sexual assault and their loved ones who are similarly affected. We have a 24-hour crisis hotline and trained volunteer advocates who provide support for medical and court accompaniment. A great deal of time is also spent training and educating the community about sexual assault and the services that are available to victims and their family members.
What do you know about sexual assault that you wish everyone knew?
I wish everyone knew
the "real" impact sexual assault has on victims, families, businesses and communities. Statistics don't even come close to the actual number of people in our lives who have been victimized. They are our family members, our friends, people we see at church and at work, spouses, children they are all around us and sometimes we just are not aware of it. How did having Miss Patsy from Miss Patsy's Playhouse as a mother influence your adult life and professional work?
I have to say it was "pretty cool" growing up with Miss Patsy! Of course, to me she was "my mom" and certainly the biggest influence in my life. She taught me early on that we are responsible for contributing to this world, for giving back and for making a difference. I've tried to do that with both my personal and professional life. How has working as Sexual Assault Support Center director influenced your approach to parenting?
Communication and education is a major part of my job as director of the center; Communication and education is a major part of my job as a parent! I am very passionate about both aspects of my life. Thank goodness, we are a very communicative family!What is the best kept secret in the Chattahoochee Valley?It's really not a secret, but I think Flat Rock Park is one of the great gems of Columbus that many people are not aware of. The children and I love to visit the park, walk the trails, sit in the sunshine and walk the dog there. It's a nice place to unwind and relax.

Well thankfully, by the grace of God, I was able to take a class at Moody Bible Institute soon after called "Apologetics." I had never heard of apologetics before that and the first book I read in the course was Paul Little's Know Why You Believe. Well it didn't answer all my questions that I now had but it gave me a good starting place and hope that I could continue to believe and keep my mind at the same time. I began to consume apologetics books and lectures and when I found out that Luther Rice University had launched a B.A. in Religion and Apologetics I promptly transferred from Moody Bible Institute to LRU. From there I was able to really get onto solid ground with my faith once again.
There are some things that I wish I had known before (and during) the time I was struggling with doubt that I would like to share with you in case you ever find yourself in this place. While I hope the Lord may allow you not to go through the fire, so to speak, I hope that you will find this helpful if indeed you do or if even now you are in such a place.
1. Don't freak out.
It's very unnerving when you feel like the ground you are standing on is suddenly not as solid as you once thought. When I say that it was God's grace that led me to some answers to my questions I do not overemphasize that point. I was panicking because I did not know where to turn. If it were not for the fact that my current course of studies led me to an apologetics class I don't know where I would have landed.
All of that said, I would encourage you to remain calm and think clearly about a logical way to seek out answers to the questions that are causing you to doubt. Emotional responses don't often lead us to clarity of mind. Accept where you are struggling and then seek out people and books that tackle those issues head on. See if there is an answer before you throw up your hands in despair and abandon what you have been believing.
2. Have humility and patience.
A little humility can help you here. Realize that the reason you cannot currently answer an objection or question in your mind may have less to do with there not being a good answer and more to do with your ignorance. You, me, everyone, all of us together are limited and finite human beings and there is no way we can master the entire realm of knowledge. You simply cannot know everything, you simply cannot know how to answer everything that comes your way and you do have a lot to learn. Finding answers involves admitting ignorance and beginning a process of seeking answers which may take time. Be willing to be a patient student as you look for answers. It is the height of arrogance to assume that if you can't answer an objection there must not be a good answer. Don't be that guy. Seek out answers patiently and persistently by talking to people smarter and/or more experienced than you.
3. Don't go it alone.
One gigantic mistake on your part is to tell no one that you are doubting your faith. I know that it is scary and people might judge you, but if you keep it to yourself you are less likely to find satisfying answers and more likely to succumb to discouragement and walk away from the faith. It is true that not everyone will be understanding and not everyone will be helpful but you need to find a small group of godly, intelligent Christians who will walk through these things with you.
If you find that you are in a church that is not equipped to answer your questions or which does not meet you with understanding (which is unfortunately all too common) then try to reach out to someone outside of your church. Write an email to the head of an apologetics department at a university or seminary and tell them you need help and ask if they can walk with you through some things or hook you up with people who can. Make sure you dialog with thoughtful believers who love God, his word, and you and who are willing and able to wrestle the hard questions with you. Such men and women are far too sparse I admit, but they do exist and if you are doubting you need to find some of them to talk to (I officially volunteer to help you if I can).
4. Be careful about how you read what you read.
When you are struggling with doubts you often find yourself wanting to better understand the non-Christian position that is plaguing you. This is understandable. Someone has challenged you about "Bible contradictions" or the "Problem of Evil" or something else and you find yourself compelled to read more about these things from critical scholars because you have to know the truth no matter where it takes you. Even if it means walking away from the faith, truth alone will satisfy.
I am not telling you not to read those critical scholars and to understand their arguments against your faith, I think you ought to. If we are to hold our faith in earnest then we must do so intelligently and be able to reckon with our greatest critics. But I do want to tell you that you are being foolish if you are reading those sources in a vacuum, cut off from the other side. If you spend your time reading Dawkins, Hitchens, Hawking and Ehrman without reading Craig, Copan, Licona, Wallace, etc., then you are asking for trouble. There is a basic proverbial truth that "Bad company ruins good morals" (1 Cor. 15:33) and this is true not only of people we spend physical time with but of the books we fill our heads with. Proverbs 18:17 also tells us "The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him." Do not spend your time unevenly in one side of the story or you'll be led away before you ever hear the other side.
5. Be careful who you doubt in front of.
This is not to contradict what I said before about being honest about your doubts. You really do need to find mature brothers or sisters in Christ to walk through this with you, but I want to emphasize that they should be "mature". The last thing you want to do is to come out on the other side of your doubts having found the answers you needed just to realize you have left a wake of doubt and destruction behind you.
Facebook, Twitter, or even in certain church Bible studies and small groups are not the place to openly air your doubts. While you are posting questions you are struggling with and quotes from skeptical scholars because you are seeking help with them you may also be planting seeds of doubt in the hearts of other believers just as ill equipped (if not more so) as you are to answer them. You may have the best of intentions in seeking to hash these things out but if you are not careful you may hurt other people in the process who now have experienced your doubts but do not find the answers that you might now have gotten.
6. Consider the alternatives.
I don't feel like I have every question answered to my satisfaction about my faith. There are certain things that still bother me that sometimes still cause doubt to flare up within me. I wish I could say this were not so, but it is. But there is something else we have to consider when we think about whether or not we are standing in the right place, namely, if I leave here where else do I go?
It is impossible to be devoid of a worldview. There is no Switzerland when it comes the matter of beliefs. You cannot help but believe something and even saying "I believe nothing" is still taking an affirmative position of some kind. The question is, if I move from my Christian faith, what will I embrace in its place? Agnosticism? Atheism? Buddhism? Islam? Do these worldviews better answer the questions of life? Are they more defensible evidentially and philosophically? I know for me the answer is no. No matter how many unanswered questions I have that I might like to put to rest in my Christian faith I find the alternatives even more untenable because of what I do know for sure.
In conclusion, I hope these thoughts will be helpful to you or someone you know at some point (although ideally you may never need them at all). As someone who has studied objections to the Christian faith for about eight years now I feel comfortable telling you that the majority of objections to the faith are not nearly as powerful as they might seem to you when you first hear them. The objections that are most common are usually relatively easy to answer.
For those objections that are more difficult I will encourage you that we ought to look at our faith as a cumulative case. Some areas of our defense will be stronger and others weaker and there may always be some things that we can't answer to our satisfaction. But one good argument against something we believe does not overcome the total positive case for Christian faith. When one steps back from individual issues and considers the worldview of Christianity as whole and the case that can be made for it as a whole then they will see a very solid and defensible position.

TRAVERSE CITY — Clinton Jesse Huftile Jr., better known as Chum, was born on Feb. 7, 1929, and passed away on Feb. 28, 2013.
Chum left behind a niece and many people who knew Chum throughout his life.
Chumley lived his life in the area, Traverse City and Williamsburg. Chum enjoyed car racing, reading, going to the corner gas station for the newspaper, daily visits to the Williamsburg Post Office and talking with people and animals, but most of all, Chum loved cats.
A small memorial service is planned for June 15 at 11 a.m. at 8130 Erickson Road, Williamsburg.

Note to Brain: Get Down and Give Me 50!
Brain fitness programs are expanding, making a visit to the fitness gym increasingly common.
What's your dementia defense? Mine is the Daily Jumble in my newspaper. When I can quickly rearrange the five-letter and, especially, the six-letter jumbled letters into words (real ones, mind you), I am confident of taking on whatever life has to throw at me that day. And if I do poorly, which I do with regularity, it's like seeing my shadow on Groundhog Day. Back into the cave.
Whether we admit it or not, nearly everyone on the north side of AARP membership age has senior moments and concerns about their mental acuity. It doesn't help much that the fear of Alzheimer's Disease has been seized upon by Big Pharma and conveyed with what seems to be incessant frequency in commercial messages for various pills. I believe in free enterprise; I really do. But I just don't like how the drug companies prey upon our fears. I don't know anyone who does.
But the fact is that millions of Boomers have entered or are bearing down on their 60s. Before the market meltdown, I would have said we were headed for retirement. Now, I'm not sure where we're headed, but it's not toward any traditional retirement experience. It does, however, appear that we are headed for the Brain Gym in a major way. A mental fitness industry is evolving and looks like a big Boomer trend to me. We've come to accept the benefits of physical exercise and now this "use it or lose it" psychology has come to the world of brain twisters and teasers as well. Who knew that doing crosswords was like treating your brain to some Omega-3 oil? (Actually, I bet a lot of people did but that was before it was trendy.)
SharpBrains is both a result and cause of this trend, providing research and support for the nascent industry. Headed and co-founded by Alvaro Fernandez, SharpBrains is a good place to spend some time if you think mental fitness "workouts" may make sense for you. First, the site has put together its list of 10 questions to ask before selecting a fitness program:
1. Are there scientists, ideally neuropsychologists, and a scientific advisory board behind the program? Neuropsychologists specialize in measuring and understanding human cognition and brain structure and function.
2. Are there published, peer-reviewed scientific papers in PubMed written by those scientists? How many? PubMed is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine that includes millions of citations in science journals. If a scientist has not published a paper that appears in that database, he or she cannot make scientific claims.
3. What are the specific benefits claimed for using this program? What specific cognitive skill is the program training? Some programs present the benefits in such a nebulous way that it is impossible to tell if they will have any results or not. "Brain training" itself is a limited benefit, because activities like gardening or learning a new language provide "brain training" too. You need to see something more specific, like what cognitive or emotional skill that program is aimed at.
4. Does the program tell me what part of my brain or which cognitive skill I am exercising, and is there an independent assessment to measure my progress? The question is whether the improvement experienced in the program will transfer into real life. For that to happen we need assessments that are distinct from the exercises themselves.
5. Is it a structured program with guidance on how many hours per week and days per week to use it? Cognitive training, or "brain exercise", is not a magic pill. You have to do the exercises in order to benefit, so you need clarity on the effort required.
6. Do the exercises vary and teach me something new? The only way to exercise important parts of our brain is by tackling novel challenges.
7. Does the program challenge and motivate me, or does it feel like it would become easy once I learned it? Good brain exercise requires increasing levels of difficulty.
8. Does the program fit my personal goals? Each individual has different goals and needs when it comes to brain health. For example, some want to manage anxiety, others to improve short-term memory.
9. Does the program fit my lifestyle? Some brain exercise programs have great short-term results but are very intense. Others may be better over time.
10. Am I ready and willing to do the program, or would it be too stressful? Excess stress reduces, or may even inhibit, neurogenesis - the creation of new neurons. So, it is important to make sure not to do things that stress us in unhealthy ways.
The site also includes lots of free brain teasers and exercises that might be a good way for you to see the kinds of things that you like to do, and perhaps the kind of program that might make sense. Last fall, SharpBrains looked at user comments and audience use of all its online exercises, and selected the 15 most popular. Here they are, plus links to their location on the SharpBrains site. Enjoy them, and if some of them get the better of you, I advise against the Groundhog Day response. Doesn't do much for your psyche.

Eleven men were arrested this week and charged with transporting heroin from Chicago's west side to buyers in DuPage County, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The men are from Warrenville, Naperville, West Chicago, Geneva and Chicago. The DuPage County Sheriff's offices, U.S. Homeland Security agents and West Chicago and Woodridge police assisted in the two-month investigation, the Sun-Times reported.
One man, Miguel Fernandez, 23, of West Chicago, was charged with 10 felony drug conspiracy and delivery charges.
Police said Fernandez bought heroin on Chicago's west side and then delivered it to "numerous" west suburban residents, who either used the drug or resold it, the Sun-Times reported.
"He was caught reselling the drug to a juvenile on at least one occasion, and selling heroin within 1,000 feet of a school two other times," the Sun-Times reported.

July 31, 2014
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The transfer of 1.3 million gallons of fuel from a Russian tanker to fuel storage tanks in the iced-in Alaska city of Nome is going smoothly with one possible problem avoided.
Jason Evans, board chairman of Sitnasuak Native Corp., the company that arranged for the fuel delivery, said Tuesday the tanker's two hoses are pumping between 30,000 and 40,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel an hour.
Evans says one section of hose had to be switched out early Tuesday morning when a suspected bubble occurred in the line. He says the change-out went smoothly and there have been no spills since the pumping operation began Monday evening.
Officials with the companies involved in the fuel delivery to Nome say this is the first time that petroleum products have been delivered to a western Alaska community by sea in winter.

CLINTON — CLINTON — Tucked away in Springdale and St. Mary's cemeteries, more than 30 local veterans are laid to rest. People may not notice these moss-covered, standard tombstones — like those found in Arlington National Cemetery — if not for the American flags decorating the area.
Adjutant Bob Soesbe and the rest of American Legion Post 190 hope to bring more awareness about these existing gravesites, as well as the additional plots that remain available — free of charge — to area veterans.
"They're kind of for- gotten up here, I think, here and at St. Mary's," said Soesbe, standing atop the hillside in Springdale Cemetery. "And we shouldn't forget them."
The American Legion bought space in Section 80 of Springdale Ceme- tery on July 29, 1929 and on Oct. 22, 1940. Lot 78, Block E-12 in St. Mary's Cemetery was purchased by the organization on Jan. 29, 1921.
"Probably because a veteran died and didn't have a place to be buried, so the Legion bought a plot for him," Soesbe said about why the land was initially purchased.
As adjutant, or secretary, for the Legion, Soesbe first discovered the organization had purchased these plots when he discovered a deed for them in a Legion safety deposit box. After that, he visited the Clinton County Historical Society to gather information on the men buried there and looked up their obituar- ies at the Clinton Public Library.
"That was just mainly curiosity, but it grew and grew," Soesbe said.
Each location still has open plots available to area veterans, members of the American Legion or not. There are 15 avail- able plots at Springdale Cemetery and seven at St. Mary's.
Soesbe said most people, including some of the funeral home directors, are not aware that these spaces are available. He is working to let the community know they exist. He said all a veteran or family of a veteran has to do is let the funeral home know there is an interest in these plots.
The American Legion also is hoping to improve the appearance of these cemetery plots. Moss and other wear can be seen on most of these gravestones. Soesbe said they plan to bleach them and clean them up next spring.
The Legion also had Foley Tree Service recently repaint the flag pole at Springdale Cemetery.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
John Avery II sprang into action when he saw a pickup truck speed away after hitting a pedestrian in Jacksonville.
The 44-year-old man told The Florida Times-Union (http://bit.ly/YIqiIU ) that he didn't want the driver to get away. So he followed him to a nearby parking lot where the driver tried to run. That's when Avery says he pulled out his gun and ordered the man to stop and lie down on the ground.
Avery and passenger Gary Gibson held the man until police arrived. Avery says he was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher and informed them of his weapon.
The driver, 26-year-old Tracy Andrew Isbell of Covington, Ga., was released from jail Thursday.
Authorities say Joseph Bastian is expected to survive.

After being named to the 2012 MLS All-Star Team, Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy's schedule has turned quite the busy one. The Yorba Linda, California native must now prepare for a busy schedule ahead: tomorrow's match vs Portland Timbers, Saturday's second SuperClásico of the Year, his birthday the following day (he wants to celebrate it with a win on Saturday), then flying out to Philadelphia to prepare for Wednesday's MLS All-Star game vs FA Cup Champion Chelsea FC. Before going into all the chaos, Dan spoke to FS West about his All-Star selection at yesterday's Dodger game at Dodgers Stadium. Check out what the MLS All-Star had to say:
Después de una ausencia de las canchas, el delantero colombiano Jose Correa regreso con Chivas USA en el partido de anoche ante Charlotte Eagles y anotó los dos goles que le dio la victoria de 2-1 en los cuartos de final de la Copa Abierta de los Estados Unidos en Titan Stadium. Los rojiblancos ahora avanzaran a la siguiente ronda para enfrentar a Seattle Sounders en la semifinal el 10 de julio en Seattle.
And he's at it again! Dan Kennedy has been nominated for this week's MLS Save of the Week. Although his heroics saved Chivas USA on multiple occasions in the past three games, Dan's save vs FC Dallas has earned him a nod. Check out his save:
Vote for Dan Kennedy for Save of the week by clicking here. And don't forget to vote for Dan for the 2012 MLS All-Star online and via SMS by sending a text to 22442 with the LAST name of the player you're voting for, in this case KENNEDY.
Just minutes after coming into the match, Jorge Villafana crossed a ball that found Juan Pablo Angel inside the box, allowing the Colombian forward to head the ball home for Chivas USA's 2-1 win over Montreal Impact. But don't take our word for it, take a look:
It has been a real battle for the MLS All-Star goalkeeper spot between Chivas USA's Dan Kennedy and Sporting Kansas City's Jimmy Nielsen since the voting opened earlier this month, but luckily, Kennedy is currently leading the poll! So far in the season, Kennedy has had 49 saves in the season, ranking among the top four in the league in comparison to Nielsen's 29 saves. Since his integration to Major League Soccer in 2008, Kennedy has made 194 saves, landing him in the 38th all-time goalkeeping spot, and is just one save away from tying with legendary Mexican goalkeeper (and forward) Jorge Campos. The 29 year-old Kennedy is also 94 saves from matching former Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who currently sits in 29th place with 288 saves. On average, Kennedy makes 3.5 saves per match.
Even though Kennedy is leading in the votes, it's up to you to keep him up there and get him to that MLS All-Star Team! You can continue voting for him online (click here), but since you already have your phone in your hand, send a text with the player's last name to 22442. You may also vote via Twitter from June 21-22 by sending your candidates full name and using the hashtag #MLSAllStar and you MUST be following @MLS. There are plenty of ways you can vote for Kennedy and all the other Chivas USA players. You just gotta do it… NOW!
Venezuelan forward Alejandro Moreno receives an MLS All-Star nomination as he enters his 11th season in MLS. In his career, Moreno has played 259 games (209 starts), notching 51 goals and 37 assists. In his second season with Chivas USA, Moreno has disputed nine games (eight starts) missing the first three games of the season due to a broken nose in the preseason. Upon his return to the starting line-up, the team captain made an immediate impact in the team's attacking front, scoring his first goal of the season in the team's 2-1 win over Portland Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field on April 7. With that goal, Moreno tied as the top Venezuelan goal scorer in MLS along with Giovanni Savarese. Check out Moreno's 51st career goal:
Colombian forward Juan Pablo Angel receives his fourth nomination to MLS All-Star Team after stellar performances in the six games (four starts) he has played this season with the Red-and-White after missing five games early this season due to concussion symptoms. The first MLS All-Star Team participation for Angel came in 2007, just as the 36 year-old striker began his MLS career with New York Red Bulls. In his first All-Star game, Angel faced Scottish Premier League Celtic FC, scored one goal and was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Angel received his second consecutive call-up in 2008 and later in 2010. So far this season, Angel has scored two goals with the Goats, the latest being against his former team New York Red Bulls on May 23 at Red Bull Arena and leads the team with 19 shots and eight shots on goal. His performance and goal in the 1-1 draw with the Red Bulls earned him a nomination to MLS Goal of the Week and named him Futbol MLS' Latino of the Week.
Ecuadorian midfielder Oswaldo Minda joined Chivas USA in the offseason, just days after being crowned league champion in his native country. Since then, Minda has made a strong impact in the Red-and-White midfield, proving to be just what the team needed. So far in the season, Minda has played 11 games (all starts), missing only two games due to accumulation of yellow cards and international duty (CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers.) Just last April 16, Minda scored his first MLS career goal (23rd career goal), which led to Chivas USA's 1-0 win over Toronto FC in BMO Field. For that goal, Minda was named Futbol MLS' Latino of the Week for Week 6. Check out Minda first goal with the Red-and-White:
Nick LaBrocca receives his second consecutive MLS All-Star Team nomination as the midfielder has proven himself on the field this season, playing 12 games (all starts) with Chivas USA before a hamstring injury paused his season. Just last year, LaBrocca finished the season with eight goal scores, sharing the top spot with Justin Braun. Currently, LaBrocca sits behind forward Juan Pablo Angel with most shots (17) and shots on goal (6) and has already began scoring this year. His first goal of the season came on April 7th, as the New Jersey native scored the winning goal in Chivas USA's second consecutive road win at Portland Timbers. Check out his goal:
