Gabriel Load Carier vs Monro Sensa-Trac Shocks
1997 Suburban 4x4
I use my suburban to pull my boy scout troop trailer. It's a big 18' box trailer.
Truck still has the factory shocks on it at 150k miles and 17 years. They're done.
I am looking for shocks to help with rear-end squat when I hook up the trailer (in addition to using a weight distribution hitch).
So far, I am looking at the Gabriel Load Carrier and the Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks.
2 questions:
Any other shocks I should look at?
Anybody have a reason for one over the other?
09-26-2013, 12:52 PM #2I will tell you now that most members are going to recommend Bilsteins and will as well, but shocks do nothing to carry load they simply bring the truck back to ride height. Any shock that incorporates a spring to increase load carrying puts strain on the shock brackets they were never built for and risks ripping the brackets right off the axle. I would recommend a system that helps the leaf springs handle the weight like Roadmaster Active Suspesnion which actively helps the leaf handle the load.

09-26-2013, 01:47 PM #3That is not necessarily true Conlan. My 2005 yukon xl with the "premium smooth" ride package, Has Nivomat shocks in the rear.Nivomats are stout shocks and have interior valving that uses the motion of the vehicle to keep the ride height level even under a load. They do carry some of the weight of the vehicle and control the ride height. They are also over $300 each to replace! I plan on putting bilsteins on mine, but when you do that you also have to change the rear coil springs to make up for the loss of support from the nivomat shocks. If you change out the nivomats and do not change the spring 2 things happen. 1) the ride in the rear is supper spongy and dangerous 2) you go thru shocks like crazy. I found this out the hard way with my 03, the previous owner changed the shocks and not the springs. The ride was pretty odd in the rear and I kept going thru shocks. (a set a month). I totaled the truck about 2 days after I figured out what the issue was.
As far as the brackets supporting the added stress goes. My premium smooth ride shocks have the same brackets on the axle and frame as the z71 and the autoride package (air). GM is going to use the same brackets for all the suspensions. They are not going to put a different axle bracket or frame bracket on because of a suspension change. So as long as he does not exceed the recommended weight he should be fine.

You could always install a set of Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting Shocks.

09-26-2013, 02:53 PM #4I was only warning him because of the age of the truck. I have a buddy who rebuilds obs and nbs Chevys that have been "totaled" and he once tried out coil over shocks and ripped the brackets clean off. Also have read around other forums that its not uncommon. I bet there great shocks just warning it happens on vehicles that are older because of metal aging.

Allegro is a multi-platform game library for C/C++ developers that provides many functions for graphics, sounds, player input (keyboard, mouse, and joystick), and timers. It also provides fixed and floating point mathematical functions, 3D functions, file management functions, compressed datafile, and a GUI.
asmutils is a set of miscellaneous utilities written in assembly language, targeted on embedded systems and small distributions (e.g. installation or rescue disks). It also contains a small libc and a crypto library. It is optimized for size, memory usage, and speed, and offers fairly good functionality. The project supports Linux and the BSD family. Unixware, Solaris, and AtheOS support is in beta stage. This package also aims to provide a portable development framework, and to encourage assembly programmers to write for Linux/Unix.
Bomber Instinct is a multiplayer-only bomberman-like game which adds many features (such as special powers for the characters). Basically, several people must battle in a maze, their only weapon being a bomb which explodes, throwing flames vertically and horizontally. The game only plays on a single computer for now.
BZFlag is a 3D, multiplayer, tank battle zone, capture the flag game that pits players against each other in a networked environment. It runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Linux, MacOS 10.x, Irix, Solaris, and others. An OpenGL accelerator is highly recommended, but it is playable with 3D in software.
distributed.net is a loosely knit group of computer users from all of the world that is taking up challenges requiring lots of computing power (most notably the RC5, DES, and OGR cracking contests). It is simple to participate in the challenges by downloading and running their client software (which uses idle CPU time to complete its tasks).
e3 is a full-screen, user-friendly text editor with an interface similar to that of either WordStar, Emacs, Pico, Nedit, or vi. It's heavily optimized for size and independent of libc or any other libraries, making it useful for mini-Linux distributions and rescue disks. The assembler version supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Win9x, QNX, Atheos, BeOS, ELKS, and DOS. There is also a separately distributed version written in C which supports some other Unix versions and CygWin. It is also possible to use regular expressions by using child processes like sed. e3 has a built in arithmetic calculator.

Loading... A Memory of Light (Wheel of Time) (edition 2013)by Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Michael Kramer (Narrator), Kate Reading (Narrator)
Work detailsA Memory of Light by Robert Jordan
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A Memory of Light brings an ending in The Wheel of Time for the Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor, and his adversary The Dark One, along with their collective allies and forces. Throughout the 1148 pages, good and evil vie for an advantage in the lead up to and during ultimate confrontation between all involved whether during The Last Battle or the inside the Pit of Doom itself. But one of the most striking things about the book is that there are two narrative structures in play, the first with the book itself and the other of the entire series. The conflict between both sides in A Memory of Light literally takes place on the battlefield, which spans over a third of the continent at one point before settling in two locations. In previous books, battles have occurred and were well written, however they pail in comparison with what occurs in A Memory of Light. The apocalyptic Last Battle that has been mentioned since The Eye of the World occurs at the Field of Merrilor, between the forces of Light and Shadow, and within the Pit of Doom, between Rand and the Dark One itself. The majority of it takes place within chapter 37, aptly entitled The Last Battle, take up an eye raising 248 pages and chronicling over 24 hours worth of battle action and strategy. It is truly a worthy battle between good and evil given all the build up. In the end A Memory of the Light and The Wheel of Time comes down to Rand's confrontation with the Dark One, which is more a mental than physical battle. Foreshadowed events early in the book once again play a role in the climax to help Rand in his destiny, but as the book's climax is one and the same with the series it turns out that its events in the Two Rivers in The Eye of the World do foreshadow the resolution in the Pit of Doom. If this series is about cycles and patterns, then Jordan succeeded in giving one to his entire series. A Memory of Light is an apt title for the final Wheel of Time book, as from the beginning of the series things have been getting continually darker. The book ends with a lot of the characters just dangling as their stories and lives aren't at an end, however their connections to the appearance, rise, and destiny of the Dragon Reborn is just like the story. Not only as a book, but as the final installment of a series as long as The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light is excellent and leaves one satisfied once they close the cover for the last time. Characters lost all depth. Ending was definitely not what Jordan had in mind. Finally. After some 18 years and nearly 13,000 pages, I have completed the entire series. The series that started me in writing a book journal since this was one long continuous narrative spread over fourteen novels and many, many years of writing and reading. I'm grateful to Mr. Sanderson for finishing it off, although it would have been much nicer to have read Jordan's wriring instead. The fact that Sanderson is a Mormom put some very weird twists on the plot thread with Rand and his three women as his wives or partners. Anyway - it was all wrapped up nicely. The Dark One is put back in his place and the bore is not sealed but completely made new. The world needs dark and light, that is the ultimate call here. A wonderfully non-Christian way of looking at things. The fact that Sanderson did not change this aspect of the story earns my great respect and thankfulness. What else can anyone say but that it's fantastic. Perfect? No, but that shouldn't mar anyone's reading experience. An ending, not THE ending--because the wheel doesn't end. As a side note, I'm happy to see Sanderson working in some queer characters (other than gratuitous lesbian scenes that show up in other sword & sorcery). A warning, though: If you're like me, and bored by battle or fight scenes, quite a lot of this book will be a chore to get through. However--make sure that you do read them, because they all pay off in very important ways. Normally I would say highly recommended, but that would mean committing yourself to 14 novels, the smallest of which is about 700 pages. They are VERY worth it, especially to get to this ending, though, so consider it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt like I was deluged by a tidal wave. Then came the ending. It kind of made me feel "vanilla". Sanderson did an excellent job of wrapping this up. I was in awe. I look forward to re-reading the whole series in 5-8 years. Edit: I realized this morning that my words were on the light side. Considering that I've been reading WoT since '95 or '96, and have experienced the travail of my soul [When I heard that Jordan had died, I practically swore vengeance upon his barely cold corpse "how could he do this to me!?"] and then was raised to the clouds when I heard Sanderson [probably my favorite fantasy author now] was going to complete the series. I have run the whole gamut of emotions with this series. Excitement, boredom [tugging of hair anyone?], rage and despair, hope and finally, satisfaction. How does one encapsulate 17'ish years in a couple of paragraphs? I've gone from a highschool teenager to a married 30something security guard. So I don't write a review worthy of the NY Times, I write this little ditty to remind me that all things can be gotten through, that they end and that they can be good and bad. This series will be something that sticks with me for the rest of my life. Nice to have something like that. no reviews | add a review

The Trossachs Ton
So I have only gone and done it!
Some of my late night surfing can result in some crazy purchases, old Pink Floyd albums, clever labour saving devices for the kitchen. One night after a couple of sherberts I very nearly won an auction for a rusty old MG with no MOT, for sale in Plymouth, phew!
However the other night I stumbled across this charity cycle out of Stirling, my old stomping ground. I seem to have signed up for a 100 mile cycle in June. Woops. I have parted with the cash, made a promise to raise more cash and even dusted down the old Raleigh 12 speed. Just need to get out training now and do some cycling in Fife. I will need to seek out some hills though!
So I have been out for a few training rides…takes a while to get the rear end into action in more ways than one. I also seem to have a fairly high puncture rate for miles cycled rate which brings the average speed down a bit. I went to the local bike shop to get a new supply of inner tubes and to replace the worn out tyres. On requesting the tyre type I got a funny look. "Is it an old bike like? They stopped making that wheel size over 20 year ago!"
"Young man" I heard myself saying, "20 years is not that long ago!"
So hear it is…….if you would like to help out please sponsor me and please check back to see how my training is going.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Maggie attended Oberlin College for her undergraduate work and found a passion in combining her majors of Theatre and Gender and Women's Studies. While there, she wrote, produced and performed in a semi-autobiographical play, From the Inside, Out, based on real-life experiences.
Maggie used theatre to facilitate, activate and educate in her Applied Theatre Program at City University of New York where she received her Master of Arts. In addition to touring with From the Inside, Out, performing at various high schools and colleges, she also runs her own theatre company, 4th Meal Productions, and works with under-privileged youth, using theatre as a teaching tool. Maggie is currently a Time Warner STAR's intern working in the New York Public Library's LGBT Collections where she has access to large range of LGBT materials available to New York Public Library Patrons and disseminates that information through their blog. Maggie is still involved with Applied Theatre Program by attending and presenting at a variety of conferences across the country. In August she will be presenting a workshop based on her thesis project at a conference in San Francisco.
She hopes to eventually start her own LGBT Youth Theatre where members can devise theatre pieces based on their life experiences and interests, giving an often-silenced community a voice and a venue for expression by attending a pre-conference geared towards theatre-oriented activities for students who identify as LGBT.

The Next Best Investments in Oil Come From This Texas Sweet Spot
As I wrote up this analysis of the best investments in oil, a familiar saying came to mind: "Everything old is new again."
A truer statement could not be said about the Permian Basin, which is a geological formation roughly 300 miles long and 250 miles across that stretches across west Texas and eastern New Mexico.

These Oil Stocks Are the Big Winners in This Year's "Summer Pop"
I have been "in the field" for the past several days and will be back in circulation later this week. But I wanted to send you a note on what's been taking place recently.
The last two trading sessions have seen a spike in oil stocks. The rise has been focused on companies that provide services to early-stage field development, as well as for crude production.
Now, we have witnessed a similar "summer pop" in each of the past three years. It tends to signal a rise in expected medium-term demand for both crude oil and oil products.
However this time around, the improvement isn't reflected in companies across the board, but rather in those emphasizing geographically specific field plays.

How to Invest in Oil's Final Frontier: The Arctic
Investors searching for how to invest in oil in 2013 should be focused on these latest developments from the Arctic.
In fact, countries are racing to get a piece of what could be the final frontier for oil...
As ice melts in the Arctic region, oil and gas trapped beneath the water becomes more accessible.
Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors recently explained to Money Morning members about the search for Arctic oil and gas.
He spoke about the years-in-the-making U.S. Geological Survey's Circum-Arctic Resource Appraisal. The study found that 84% of the total undiscovered oil and gas left on the planet is located above the Arctic Circle, mainly offshore and in three huge basins that lie under shallow seas.

Why Oil Is the New "Gold Standard"
Something very interesting just happened at the 2013 MoneyShow in Las Vegas.
The purveyors of doom and gloom were all still hawking their services there. But the primary solution they offer - a cure-all elixir for everything that ails markets - was beginning to wear thin.
The usual conviction that this one asset is the remedy was gone. And the seats at these sessions were only half-filled.
Indeed, gold is beginning to lose its luster.
The erstwhile commodity fix has been under pressure of late as well. Yet, even while most eyes have been on declining commodities - especially gold, silver, and platinum - something else has been happening.
Crude oil is emerging as a new replacement to reflect stored market value.
That is good for folks like us who invest in the energy sector, because it will provide a floor to downward pressures in oil prices. It will not counter all forces reducing the price of oil, but it is likely to temper such movements, allowing us some leverage.
Why the "Death of Peak Oil" Still Won't Mean Cheap Oil
Today (Wednesday) an analyst from Citigroup became the latest lemming to declare the death of peak oil.
In a report entitled "The End is Nigh," Seth Kleinman says a combination of flattening demand and rising supply will cause oil prices to slide slightly by the end of the decade to $80-$90 a barrel.
But while oil companies have made many large new discoveries over the past few years, including big shale oil finds in North America and Australia as well as deepwater finds in the Gulf of Mexico, that doesn't mean oil prices will fall.
In fact, according to Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors, it's far more likely that oil prices will continue to rise over the next decade.
Moors points out what most other analysts seem to be missing - that all of the new oil finds present many challenges that will add to the cost of extraction.
"None of this new volume is light, sweet crude," Moors said. "The average wellhead costs continue to go up, and that moves its way downstream to processing, wholesale, and retail."

Forget the Kneejerk Reactions, Oil Prices Are Going Higher
With all of the concern exhibited over Cyprus' problems with banks and China's high-profile billion-dollar solar implosion, the doomsayers are once again predicting an oil price crash.
These guys must really need your money!
Each new geopolitical event is cast as the end of the world as we know it.
The fact is there is nothing on the horizon that will collapse oil prices for one very simple reason.
The prospects for oil prices are increasing, and elevating oil products along with them. Most sections of the U.S. will be testing 2008 gasoline price highs at the pump well before mid-summer.
Yes, we did see a swing down in crude futures during the initial stages of the Cypriot crisis, augmented by some short-lived negative comments on Chinese industrial prospects.
But by last Friday morning, stabilization had occurred and an oversold crude oil futures market began to move back up.

Oil Companies Hope for New Opportunity in Energy-Rich Venezuela
One of the biggest headlines recently related to oil companies was news of the passing of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
"El Commandante" as he was affectionately referred to by his countrymen, at least by those who approved of his leftist policies, was 58 and succumbed to a lengthy battle with cancer.
Predictably, news of Chavez's passing has sparked ample speculation about what the future holds for Venezuela's oil industry and those oil companies looking to profit from a possible renaissance there.
Venezuela is South America's largest oil producer and an OPEC member. In what may come as a surprise to some investors, Venezuela could be called the Saudi Arabia of OPEC.
In other words, the South American nation is home to about 300 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, compared to about 270 billion barrels in Saudi Arabia. That is according to OPEC's own estimate.
Not only that, but Venezuela is home to the largest natural gas reserves in the Western Hemisphere.
Given those superlatives, it is easy to understand why some Western oil companies are cautiously optimistic about what the future may hold for them in Venezuela.

Why Bigger Isn't Always Better in the Oil Business
Forty years ago, British economist E. F. Schumacher wrote that "Small is Beautiful" in a famous book by the same name.
The vision champions market approaches that discount the importance of size to results, a philosophy that contrasted the notion that "Bigger is Better."
In bringing the idea of his teacher (Leopold Kohr) to a broader canvass and a wider audience, Schumacher began a debate that has revolved around the impact of technology and market size ever since.
Just last weekend, the debate renewed.
Again it was an English environment, but the subject matter would have been quite unexpected only a few years ago. This time the occasion was our annual energy consultations at Windsor Castle outside London. The debate focused on both size and profitability of oil companies in the development of new fields.
The key lesson: During expanding times in the oil business, like today, small is not only beautiful.
It is also profitable.
And it can be for you as well if you take the time to learn why...

Stefan Cvrkalj has been rewarded for his dedication to defence.
A spectator for much of his freshman season with the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, the Bluevale graduate has become an important player on the NCAA Division 1 squad that is off to its best start in 74 years. The six-foot-five guard has averaged 16.4 minutes of floor time this season — up from 5.7 — as the defending Patriot League champions from Bethlehem, Pa., have jumped out to an 8-2 record.
"I knew going into this season that no matter how well that I shot the ball, it wouldn't matter unless I was able to defend one-on-one and play off the ball," said the six-foot-five Cvrkalj. "I worked on defensive drills every day during the off-season."
That included a summer vacation to his native Serbia, where Cvrkalj would make regular trips to train in "unpleasant" conditions at a facility that lacked air conditioning and temperatures hovered around the 40C mark. He would also train in a tiny elementary school gymnasium that had just one basket.
"Whenever I felt like I didn't want to go, I would just imagine all the times I would have had the opportunity to play but my coach (Brett Reed) didn't have the confidence to put me on because of my lack of defensive ability," he said.
"No matter how much I offer offensively, he has to be able to have security in his defensive plan because defence is a five-player system and one player can break the whole thing down."
Cvrkalj has also benefited from playing with and practising against senior guard C.J. McCollom, the Patriot League's reigning MVP who is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2013 NBA draft. McCollom scored 30 points in Lehigh's historic win over Duke in the opening round of 2012 NCAA tournament, one of the highlights of Cvrkalj's freshman season.
"He's very down-to-earth, very composed and very humble," Cvrkalj said of his teammate. "He deserves everything that comes his way, but he is just a regular student on campus, no different than anyone else."
Cvrkalj's offensive abilities have never been in question and he's had a good run with Lehigh to this point, hitting on 44.4 per cent of his three-point shots (16-of-36) and averaging 6.4 points per game.
Cvrkalj and the Mountain Hawks are currently on a two-week break for exams, having topped Saint Francis 83-67 on Dec. 8. They next play a road game on Thursday night at North Texas before a short Christmas break. Cvrkalj will return to his parents' Kitchener home for a quick holiday before leaving on Boxing Day to prepare for a Dec. 29 game at home against Bryant.
Cvrkalj, who is majoring in business, was named to the Patriot League's academic honour roll as a freshman. He lists introduction to acting as his favourite class at Lehigh, but not for reasons that one might expect.
"It required the least amount of homework, but it really was fun," he said.
Cvrkalj won the Mike Moser Award in 2010 as the most valuable player in the Waterloo County high school league.

They were surprisingly not obnoxious. I don't know if everyone had the same experience I did, but overall, they were fairly friendly. I usually hate Steeler fans with a passion, but this game kinda killed that flame a bit. Maybe a down season has quieted them a bit. But either way.. Noteworthy fact.
WAs 1-4... NOW 2-4. I'm 2 for 2 this year. Have seen both Titans wins. I knew the Steelers were not as good as they were billed to be. A team that loses to the Raiders is beatable. I wouldn't have picked the win, but no way was I saying impossible.
They still had excuses like how their team was injured.. whenever they run out of excuses, then they start getting obnoxious....
OH YEAH.... Where's the schmuck who said he would jump naked into the Cumberland if the Titans won... Hope he's soaked right now... unless he's a wimp.
Exactly. There were a lot dumber acting Titans fans who needed to get ejected.It's fairly tame in the lower level. Maybe it's worth the extra 20 bucks for the lower level seats. BTW. Got seats for 20 bucks yesterday. My buddy got LL seats for 25! Buying from scalpers at the last minute gets you dirt cheap seats. We were just that late due to traffic. We were trying to go to the Tailgate... ended up getting there about 10 minutes til game time. sat in traffic for dang near 40 minutes.
We didn't have quite as nice an experience with Pittsburgh fans - a bunch of rather inebriated ones kept reminding us about their 6 Super Bowl wins. Our reply: your 6 Super Bowls just lost to the worst team in the NFL
I've always had good experiences with Steeler fans. There's always some exceptions but overall they have to have the best fanbase in the league. Such a long history so they've got a deep and wide base, and if you love the game it's hard not to love the way the Steelers have played for decades. I sat next to a couple in 2002 playoff game (Nedney-gate), and they were a lot of fun. I "hate" the Steelers and their fans, but I also kinda like them and their fans.

Deafheaven. Their mixture of black metal, hardcore, shoegaze and post-rock is one of the most interesting and fresh spins on aggressive music to emerge in the last year, and their album Roads to Judah is sure to show up on many end of year "Best Of" lists.
Read the whole interview here: http://www.slugmag.com/metal-blog/3032/Napalm-Flesh-Deafheaven-Interview.html
via: DEATHWISH Tweets
For those of us that were growing up in the hardcore scene in a time where it was changing from more traditional "old school" to more of a post-hardcore sound, this was a band that pioneered, captured and delivered it perfectly.
Go stream the remastered tracks from Ressurection at the Deathwish site. Stay, listen and understand that this band is one of many reasons we have such diversity in today's hardcore scene.
I cannot wait to see them back together at This is Hardcore.
Punch Signed with Deathwish.
Great move for them and I totally back this on both sides.
We toured Japan with them and they're good people. Tre at Deathwish is an awesome dood and got himself a fine catch here.
Check out punch on tour in Europe now and they're EP as well. Good stuff.
Touche Amore is the latest band involved in Deathwish Inc.'s ongoing Deathwish Live Series. The digital series is made of live recordings of Deathwish affiliated artists. These recordings are from a variety of sources: radio shows, official live recordings, bootlegs, and more. In this instance, the recording comes from the band's first trip to Boston and their ensuing visit to WERS Studios and recorded a session that later aired on the station. The band performs material from their 6131 Records debut, …To the Beat of a Dead Horse [12 inch]. It was originally released by the band themselves as a limited 7-inch EP but is now out of print. Find the digital release here.

FORT WAYNE – Will Sheehey jumped and screamed after making his final three-pointer Tuesday against North Carolina.
Indianas junior forward then headed to his teams bench and gave coach Tom Crean a high-five.
Sheehey gave the No. 1 Hoosiers energy, scoring and defense off the bench in the 83-59 victory over the Tar Heels.
He finished with 19 points for the second consecutive game.
We have a graduate assistant, Seth Cooper, and he always says When it rains, it pours. I was in a little shooting slump, but I came out (Tuesday) and shot it well, Sheehey said after the game.
Sheehey and the Hoosiers (7-0) return to action today against Coppin State (1-5) at Assembly Hall.
Sheehey is fourth on the team in scoring, averaging 11.9 points.
Sheehey, who averaged 8.6 points last season, started IUs final nine games and reached double figures in two NCAA tournament games. He made the game-winning basket in the third-round game against Virginia Commonwealth.
Sheehey has started once this season, Nov. 15 against Sam Houston State. He scored 18 points in that game but struggled in the two Legends Classic games in Brooklyn, N.Y., that followed.
Sheehey scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting against Georgia and finished with six points in the championship game victory over Georgetown.
Sheehey returned to form Sunday against Ball State, going 8 of 9 from the field on the way to 19 points against the Cardinals. The 6-foot-7 Sheehey also had a season-high six rebounds.
He went 8 of 12 from the floor and made 3 of 4 three-pointers against North Carolina and also collected five rebounds and two steals.
Ive said all along I think we have seven starters, Crean said. And I think when Hanner Perea gets some time – its a drawback now because he hasnt had a chance – we projected he would be one of those guys too.
I look at Will as a starter.
Crean placed Sheehey on the court at the start of the second half against the Tar Heels for his energy defensively.
I liked how he finished the (first) half, Crean said. It wasnt a negative toward Christian (Watford), it was a positive toward Will.
Sheehey played a pivotal role in containing North Carolina star forward James Michael McAdoo. McAdoo did not score in the second half and finished 4 of 15 from the floor for 10 points.
Indiana turns its attention to Coppin State, which are led by guards Patrick Cole and Troy Franklin, who average 15.2 and 12.8 points, respectively.
We are approaching every game the same way, Indiana senior guard Jordan Hulls said Friday. We are going to get everybodys best shot, and theyre going to get our best shot as well, so we cant afford to play bad.

SEPTA announces public forum for KoP project
SEPTA will hold a public forum next week regarding the proposed King of Prussia rail project.
The meeting will be held July 16 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel at Valley Forge Casino, located at 1160 First Ave. in King of Prussia. It will include an open house-style information session to be followed by a presentation and public testimony session.
The rail project is proposed to achieve three main objectives, according to a document released by SEPTA.
They are:
- Offer improved transit connections to King of Prussia/Valley Forge area from communities along the existing Norristown High Speed Line, Norristown and Philadelphia;
- Improve connectivity between major destinations within the King of Prussia/Valley Forge area;
- Better serve existing transit riders and accommodates new transit patrons.
SEPTA and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are preparing an environmental impact statement to provide increased transit service to the King of Prussia area.

Process Improvements Vital to Cost Containment
Dean Swindle
CFO, executive vice president for business services,
Catholic Health Initiatives,
Englewood, Colo.
On the challenge ahead: To get effective sustainable transformational cost movement, you are going to have to engage your clinical folks and have a partnership that redefines how you deliver care and make it a process improvement. At the same time you are trying to maintain what level you have of patient experience, and take that into consideration as you re-define processes. It will be the most difficult thing that any of us have done in this industry.
On cutting versus changing: You try not to use the term cost cutting because it alienates three fourths of the workforce. But at the same time it doesn't give credit for what needs to be done because you do need to change processes. Even broader, you are going to see some saying we need to change how the operating model is set up.
On surviving the transition: Everyone knows we have already done a lot, but it's not enough and the traditional way of looking at it is not going to be enough. Having transformational change in how we do our work every day across the board is a daunting task. A lot of us are still trying to survive in the current environment of fee-for-service as we migrate to who knows where we are going even as we are being held accountable for value and quality.
On the need for efficiency: Cost efficiency and effectiveness now becomes much more of an integrated part of a broader theme. We have to keep finding efficiencies. Because of the uncertainty of volumes and revenue that we have experienced in the past couple of years, and which will continue, cost will become more of a discussion point because it is something people feel you can control more than the uncertainty around revenue.

A man who was served with a restraining order last week is dead after returning to the home he once shared with a woman and another man and getting into a shootout that left the other man wounded, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Department press release.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
The following arrests were reported by the Levy County Sheriff's Office.
Civil Deputy Charles W. "Bubba" Castell, second from right, has been chosen the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year 2012 by the Disabled Veterans of America Tri-County Chapter No. 63 in Chiefland.
ST. PETERSBURG. — Five people were rescued by the Coast Guard after the 32-foot boat they were aboard began taking on water 12 miles west of Cedar Key, Monday.
A member aboard the boat contacted Sector St. Petersburg watchstanders at 1:31 p.m., via VHF-FM channel 16 radio reporting they had lost an engine, were taking on water and in need of assistance.
The body found east of Otter Creek by hunters on Friday afternoon, Jan 18, has been identified that of DeAnna Lee Stires, 18, of Brooksville who was reported missing on Jan. 1, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
"Hopefully this will provide some closure for some friends to the south, said Lt. Scott Tummond, head of investigations for the Levy County Sheriff's Office.
K. M. of Old Town writes, "I've got a question…last month you wrote about taking a gun into a bar being illegal, but taking a gun into a restaurant wasn't, if you have a concealed weapon permit. What about a knife? What's the rule there?
Dear K. M.
Cedar Key police were kept on the run Memorial Day weekend when two people — an 18-year-old man and a juvenile — from Chiefland broke into several cars and at least one, possibly two homes in the Paroda, Whiddon and Shellcrest avenues area. But the thefts are on the way to being solved with the arrest of one person and the search for a second person — a juvenile, said Police Chief Virgil Sandlin.

Natural Gas Riser Replacement Program
On April 1, LG&E began a five-year inspection program focusing on natural gas service risers and meter piping. LG&E will repair or upgrade the service to address any deficiencies identified during the inspection.
» More informationGas Line Tracker
In 2012, the PSC approved LG&E's request for a five-year natural gas line program, similar to what many other gas utilities around the country have done, to proactively inspect and replace natural gas service risers and to assume responsibility for the portion of the gas service from the customer's property line or utility easement to the house or business. LG&E is now responsible for installing, maintaining, repairing and replacing natural gas service lines. Effective Jan. 1, 2013, a new line item, "Gas Line Tracker" was added to the bill for LG&E natural gas customers to cover the costs associated with these initiatives.
» More informationAdditional time to pay your bill
Our new billing and payment schedule, effective Jan. 1, 2013, means you now have at least 22 days from the date your LG&E bill is issued to make your payment.
Late payment fees will be added only if full payment is not received by the payment due date.

Chris Kirkpatrick was born on October 17, 1971, in Clarion, Pennsylvania. He rose from humble beginnings to music stardom as the eldest member of N'Sync. Since his boy band split up, Kirkpatrick has gone on to perform in the group Nigels 11, start a nonprofit foundation and participate in several reality shows. He's currently engaged to marketing representative Karly Skladany.
"I think when the stars are aligned, the time is right, and all five of us have our heads on straight and know the direction we're going as a band, it'll eventually happen. If not, I know we'll be best friends forever."
Early Years
On October 17, 1971, Christopher Alan Kirkpatrick was born into a life of poverty. His parents split up when he was young. After graduation, Kirkpatrick continued his education with a focus on the performing arts in Florida (at Rollins College and Valencia College). He found his way onto the stage as part of a doo-wop group singing at Universal Studios. This led to an audition for the Backstreet Boys, but Kirkpatrick just missed the cut. Anything but defeated, he decided to form his own ensemble with the encouragement of Lou Pearlman, the man who orchestrated the formation of the Backstreet Boys.
Starting N'Sync
Kirkpatrick extended an offer to Joey Fatone, a fellow Universal Studio performer, to join his upstart group, as well as Justin Timberlake, whom he'd met on the local audition circuit. Timberlake was connected with JC Chasez from the Mickey Mouse Club and invited him to join the band too. Last came Lance Bass, who was recommended by Timberlake's vocal coach.
The five guys churned out pop hits in Europe before America. Back home, their self-titled album was unimaginably successful, selling a million copies. It included such unforgettable tunes as "I Want You Back," "Tearin' Up My Heart," "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" and "I Drive Myself Crazy." After their 1999 Christmas album, N'Sync produced the best-selling album of 2000, No Strings Attached. The track "Bye Bye Bye" scored a Grammy nod too. One year later came the five-time platinum record Celebrity, before Kirkpatrick and his bandmates split for solo projects.
Life After N'Sync
Kirkpatrick put out a clothing line, FuMan Skeeto, and has done voiceover work for such popular cartoons as The Fairly Oddparents. But music has remained his priority. To stay relevant, Kirkpatrick appeared on CMT's Gone Country, where celebs take a crack at singing country music. Plus, he was on VH1's Mission Man Band, a show following the creation of a group from already established talent. Now Kirkpatrick has settled into his new band, Nigels 11. He's also popped the question to girlfriend Karly Skladany. Regardless of fame and fortune, Kirkpatrick has never forgotten how his family struggled in his youth. This prompted him to start the Chris Kirkpatrick Foundation to help underprivileged children. Despite so many individual undertakings, Kirkpatrick is still hoping for an N'Sync reunion one day.

Chester Park ski jumps face uncertain future
As Duluth works to develop a master plan for Chester Park, the future of the park's ski jumps appears to be up in the air.By: Peter Passi, Duluth News Tribune
As Duluth works to develop a master plan for Chester Park, the future of the park's ski jumps appears to be up in the air.
The jumps have fallen into disrepair and will require significant work to survive, said Kathy Bergen, director of Duluth's Parks and Recreation Department. She maintains that leaving the jumps alone is not a valid option because they're not structurally sound and they continue to attract climbers, despite closed gates and warning signs.
"We have some concerns that need to be addressed," Bergen said.
She said removing the two remaining jumps — Big and Little Chester — would be an option.
"Sometimes safety has to win out over sentimental value," Bergen said.
But tearing down the jumps is a difficult idea to swallow for the likes of George Hovland, who grew up skiing at Chester and went on to compete as a "Combined Nordic" athlete — blending ski jumping with cross-country racing — at the 1952 Olympics in Oslo, Norway. He said the sport was such a part of Duluth's identity that he can't imagine the community without any jumps left standing.
"I, and other jumpers who are still around, feel Big Chester is such an iconic structure and is so much a part of our history that we ought to preserve it," he said.
Big Chester was built in 1924, and Little Chester dates to 1969.
Curt Leitz, chairman of the Chester Bowl Improvement Club, said he understands the city's concerns about the jumps becoming a safety liability, but he'd still like to save them.
"I feel those jumps are a very important part of our history, identity and culture here in Duluth," Leitz said. "I personally think they're worth preserving for that reason alone."
Duluth became known as a hotbed for ski jumping. Besides Hovland, the city has produced several other Olympians, including Jim Denney, Greg Swor and Adrian Watt
The historical value of the jumps is not lost on Thom Storm, Chester Bowl program executive director. His father was a national ski jumping champion at age 15, and Storm grew up jumping at the park, as well. He said the jumps feel like a part of his Norwegian heritage.
"But they're also kind of an attractive nuisance that's probably going to keep deteriorating in an era of limited resources," Storm said. "Should we spend $30,000 to shore up Big Chester for the next 25 years? Or would you rather put that into our alpine ski program, which served 700 kids last winter?"
In October of last year, the city tore down the lower portions of Big and Little Chester, removing the steps and judging stands to reduce the number of people climbing up the aging structures. Storm said that when local colleges were in session it wasn't uncommon to have 40 to 50 people per week climb to the top of the jumps. He was often left to remove graffiti and pick up beer bottles and cans night visitors left behind.
"We were worried someone could get hurt, and no one wants that," he said.
Since the steps were removed, the number of climbers has decreased dramatically, Storm said. But he said the jumps still attract the occasional daredevil willing to make the ascent by climbing angle irons to the top.
Duluth has not had an active ski jumping program for several years.
Jim A. Denney and his son, Jim J. Denney, a former Olympic ski jumper, unsuccessfully tried to fix up the jumps and revive Duluth's jumping program in 2007, when the city last threatened to take down Big and Little Chester.
The elder Denney said ski jumping requires a seriously committed core of volunteers to shovel, rake and hand-pack snow on the jumps.
"If you don't have enough people who are interested and dedicated, it won't work," he said.
Storm said young thrill-seekers today have so many alternatives to ski jumping that it's difficult for the sport to compete.
Even if Big Chester doesn't have much of a future as an operating ski jump, Hovland believes it deserves to be saved.
He suggested a glassed-in viewing platform could be installed at the top of the jump, with an elevator taking people up and down. He also envisions a ride, similar to Spirit Mountain's Timber Twister, that would carry people down the jump, over the edge and clear to the bottom of the hill, simulating the feel of actually making a jump on skis.
As for unwelcome night climbers, Hovland suggests access could be controlled by enclosing the jump with razor wire fencing.
"I want to save the structure and try to turn it into an asset instead of a liability," he said.
Bergen said the city is willing to consider all options for the park and encouraged people to bring their ideas to an open house today at the Chester Bowl Chalet.
"No decisions have been made," she said. "We're waiting to hear what people have to say. Sometimes people come up with good ideas we've never considered."

Book Description:Grammy nominee. #1 New York Times bestseller. And, with 960,000 copies in print, a Recording Industry Association of America Platinum album. What an event! What a show! It's Philadelphia Chickens—the catchy and quirky, tuneful and toe-tapping, exuberant, unexpected, and totally endearing family-musical-in-a-book. Here is a full-color songbook of 17 1/2 illustrated story-poems, and a full-length, fully orchestrated CD of original songs performed by such luminaries as Patti LuPone, Kevin Kline, Meryl Streep, The Bacon Brothers, and Laura Linney, who pleads "Please, Can I Keep It?"—it followed me home. / What exactly it is/ I don't know. Also joining in are Eric Stoltz, Scott Bakula, and two Boyntons, including daughter Caitlin McEwan, who performs a piece that every little listener will relate to—a love song to the chocolate chip cookies that are just out of reach. With the collaboration of composer Michael Ford (known to Boynton fans from Rhinoceros Tap), Philadelphia Chickens is that rarest of kids' musical discs—one whose inimitable lyrics and music make it as irresistible to parents as it is to their children.
