C. Everett Koop, 'rock star' surgeon general, dies
NEW YORK Dr. C. Everett Koop has long been regarded as the nation's doctor- even though it has been nearly a quarter-century since he was surgeon general.
Koop, who died Monday at his home in Hanover, N.H., at age 96, was by far the best known and most influential person to carry that title. Koop, a 6-foot-1 evangelical Presbyterian with a biblical prophet's beard, donned a public health uniform in the early 1980s and became an enduring, science-based national spokesman on health issues.
He served for eight years during the Reagan administration and was a breed apart from his political bosses. He thundered about the evils of tobacco companies during a multiyear campaign to drive down smoking rates, and he became the government's spokesman on AIDS when it was still considered a "gay disease" by much of the public.
"He really changed the national conversation, and he showed real courage in pursuing the duties of his job," said Chris Collins, a vice president of amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research.
Even before that, he had been a leading figure in medicine. He was one of the first U.S. doctors to specialize in pediatric surgery at a time when children with complicated conditions were often simply written off as untreatable. In the 1950s, he drew national headlines for innovative surgeries such as separating conjoined twins.
His medical heroics are well noted, but he may be better remembered for transforming from a pariah in the eyes of the public health community into a remarkable servant who elevated the influence of the surgeon general - if only temporarily.
"He set the bar high for all who followed in his footsteps," said Dr. Richard Carmona, who served as surgeon general a decade later under President George W. Bush.
Koop's religious beliefs grew after the 1968 death of his son David in a mountain-climbing accident, and he became an outspoken opponent of abortion. His activism is what brought him to the attention of the administration of President Ronald Reagan, who decided to nominate him for surgeon general in 1981. Though once a position with real power, surgeon generals had been stripped of most of their responsibilities in the 1960s.
By the time Koop got the job, the position was kind of a glorified health educator.
But Koop ran with it. One of his early steps involved the admiral's uniform that is bestowed to the surgeon general but that Koop's predecessors had worn only on ceremonial occasions. In his first year in the post, Koop stopped wearing his trademark bowties and suit jackets and instead began wearing the uniform, seeing it as a way to raise the visual prestige of the office.
In those military suits, he surprised the officials who had appointed him by setting aside his religious beliefs and feelings about abortion and instead waging a series of science-based public health crusades.
He was arguably most effective on smoking. He issued a series of reports that detailed the dangers of tobacco smoke, and in speeches began calling for a smoke-free society by the year 2000. He didn't get his wish, but smoking rates did drop from 38 percent to 27 percent while he was in office - a huge decline.
Koop led other groundbreaking initiatives, but perhaps none is better remembered than his work on AIDS.
The disease was first identified in 1981, before Koop was officially in office, and it changed U.S. society. It destroyed the body's immune system and led to ghastly death, but initially was identified in gay men, and many people thought of it as something most heterosexuals didn't have to worry about.

Gary Aramini is trying to raise money for cancer and a local family with medical expenses after their son died from a rare disease.
High Point, NC -- A man is using his remarkable endurance to help a family in need.
The "Compassion Workout" was supposed to raise money for seven-year-old Kaleb Rancer. He had a rare blood disorder that affected his bone marrow. Sadly, Kaleb died March 17th.
But the Compassion Workout still took place. Runner Gary Aramini pledged to run 100 miles, or 24 hours, on a treadmill to raise money for the family. Kaleb's father, Phillip Rancer, said even though his son's not here - Gary's run is bigger than Kaleb now. "He's doing this for Kaleb, my son. He's doing it for his mother who's a breast cancer survivor. Hes' doing it for all the other kids out there right now that are literally fighting for their lives."
As of 10:45 p.m., Aramini had run 50 miles before getting sick from a stomach bug. He was actually in a hospital emergency room when we called to check on his progress. But Rancer said Aramini said he'll start running again as soon as he's able until he reaches his goal.

NiteRider Lumina 650 Light $0.00
Let us ask you a question -- when have you ever seen a bike light that was overkill? When you need to see the road ahead of you and remind others of your presence, a light can never be bright enough. That is, until now. The latest light from the NiteRider cordless series, the Lumina 650, puts out half the lumens of a standard car headlight to provide a level of brightness that goes toe-to-toe with your biggest threat in the saddle.
The newest light from NiteRider, the Lumina is smaller and lighter than lights with external batteries. The battery and light are housed together in a self-contained Black and Silver body that saves weight by eliminating extra cords and straps. With the same power output as other NiteRider 650 lumen lights, the Lumina casts a broad beam to light up potholes or any other unseen hazard along the way.
The light has four solid light levels -- high, medium, low, and walk, plus a flash mode that lets you adjust the brightness during your ride. Depending on your setting, the light will last 1.5 hours at 650 lumens, three hours at 400 lumens, 5.5 hours at 200 lumens, and 18 hours at 40 lumens.
The single-piece construction of the Lumina 650 not only looks fabulous, but to avoid a mid-ride blackout, it also protects the battery from volatile weather. The newly designed handlebar mount also adds to its versatility. The quick-release mount holds securely in any riding condition and accommodates bars up to 31.8mm in diameter. The Lumina 650 comes with an additional helmet mount, making it a perfect companion to a brighter handlebar light during 24-hour races or late night trail rides.
The NiteRider Lumina 650 Light comes with a USB charger and takes about 5.5 hours to reach a full-charge. The entire assembly weighs in around 172 grams.

See and be seen with the Lumina 650
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Replaced cheap, er inexpensive, "AA" powered light of unknown lumens that was enough to let me be seen (usually). No fears with the Lumina. I can get at least 5 hours use between low and medium before needing a charge; possibly even longer. Even when the low battery indicator comes on I can get another hour on low - but have not pushed it further. Recharge time is not too bad and it came charged in the box. Now I can see where I am going (especially with my new Smith Pivlok V90 with the clear lenses) and be seen as well.
Love this
I commute to work a lot and this light is perfect. Good battery life and shines brightly while biking in the dark. Good selection of modes of brightness. One annoying thing is how long it takes to charge but not a big deal still a 5 star light.
NiteRider shines!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Far better than anything I have used before. This thing lights up the road like crazy. Perfect for my 5:30 am commute. As I compare the illumination on the road with neighboring cars, it looks like about the same light output. Excellent!

Bob's F-100 Parts Four-Bar Setup - F-100 Suspension UpgradeWritten by on October 24, 2011 Installing a Bob's F-100 Parts Four-Bar Setup |
A week or so ago I was running an errand for the missus when I happened to drive right by Bob's F-100 Parts. As I did, it occurred to me that it'd been ages since I'd stuck my nose in Bob's door, and if I didn't do it now there'd be no tellin' when I might get around to it again. So, the better half's errand slipped to the back burner and I turned around and pulled into Bob's.
As I stuck my head into the shop door I found Bob and Chuck (one of his crew members) underneath a bright-red F-100. Busybody that I am, I wandered under the pickup as well and asked what was goin' on. As luck would have it I'd stopped by just as the pair was about to install one of Bob's four-bar setups so I decided to hang around and watch somebody else work for once. Bob explained that the truck's owner was less than pleased with the pickup's ride quality and performance afforded by the old, OEM leaf spring suspension and he'd heard through the grapevine that Bob's four-bar setup was the way to go. Bob was happy to oblige and I was just as happy to get it on film and share it with you. That said, follow along and see just how easy it is to upgrade those old, worn-out leaf springs for a Bob's F-100 Parts four-bar setup. CT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
As is the case with any rear suspension replacement, the first thing one wants to do is (with the truck on the ground and suspension compressed) mark the framerails at the rear axle centerline. An easy way to come up with a useable measurement is to measure from the centerline of the front leaf spring eye to the center of the axle tube. Doing so will always ensure that upon reinstallation the correct wheelbase is retained.With the axle centerlines marked it's time for a bit of disassembly. Chuck started by removing the driveshaft, shocks and disconnecting the parking brake cables and the brake line.This particular truck had been modified here and there by a previous owner. One thing Bob noticed was the oddly mounted stabilizer bar—it looked like it had been heated and bent to fit, and not all that well.Next, Bob used an impact wrench to break the U-bolt nuts loose. It's important to note that they were just loosened, and not backed off all the way.Once the U-bolts were loosened, the guys lowered the truck until the rearend housing was resting on a rather large pair of stands. It was only then that the U-bolts and brackets were removed. If you're like me you'll most likely be doing this with the truck on the garage floor. If so, make sure you've got a pair of standard jack stands supporting the rearend.With everything disconnected the guys lifted the truck up and out of the way, leaving the rearend housing resting on the stands.The next step is to remove the existing leaf springs, making sure the springs are supported by either a helper or a stable support of some sort as the spring packs are pretty heavy.
With the rearend out of the way the most difficult part of the upgrade came next—removing the rear frame crossmember and leaf spring mounts by grinding off the rivet heads and punching out the rivets. This particular truck had already been modified with a homemade crossmember sometime in the past—it still needed to be replaced with Bob's combination crossmember/coilover shock mount (included in the four-bar kit).These images show the left-hand front leaf spring mount. As you can see, it (and the other three mounts) is riveted to the framerail. The easiest way to remove 'em is to grind off the rivet heads ...Then, using a good-sized punch, or in Bob's case an air hammer, knock the rivets out so the OE spring brackets can be removed.These images show both the front and rear framerails where the leaf spring brackets were originally located. The rear mounts don't have to be removed to do the four-bar install but it does look a lot cleaner without them hanging there doing nothing when the conversion is all done.The Bob's Four-Bar Kit contains everything needed for the conversion including a pair of front bar mounts like the one shown here.The front bar brackets are easy to locate as they're mounted utilizing the original leaf spring bracket rivet holes. All that needs to be done is to open those holes up to 5⁄8-inch so the 7⁄16-inch bolts supplied in the kit slide through both the bar brackets and the framerails.
Since Bob and his crew do literally hundreds of four-bar installs in any given year they've made a gauge/template for marking the location of the rear bar brackets on the rearend axle tubes. For the rest of us, the brackets are mounted at 36 inches center to center.The original leaf spring pads will need to be removed from the axle tubes. There's a multitude of removal methods, but keep in mind the less heat used the less chance of heat warping the axle tubes. For what it's worth, I use a cutoff wheel on a die-grinder. It's kind of a pain but a lot cooler than torches or a plasma cutter. A standard grinding wheel can be used to clean up the rough stubble left on the tube—just go slowly and don't get the area too hot.These are the rear four-bar brackets supplied in the Bob's kit—they serve both as mounting points for the bars and the lower mounting point for the coilover shocks (also part of the kit).Speaking of the "kit," this shot shows the four-bar bars, Panhard bar, bar ends, bushings, sleeves, Panhard bar bracket, and all the mounting hardware. Missing from the picture, but included with the kit, are the coilover shocks and the front and rear bar brackets.Assembling the bars is a straightforward affair—just lube up the bushings, slide 'em into the bar ends, and then do the same with the steel sleeves. Once together, the bar ends (don't forget the jamb nuts) are threaded into the bars. Normally, when threading the ends into the tubes and leaving about a ¼-inch of threads showing on each will get the bars very close to the ideal length for installation.As the bars and bar ends were being assembled Bob was getting ready to mount the rear brackets to the rearend axle housing. If you look closely you'll see that the axle tubes on this particular rearend are stepped—the inner portion of the tubes is a larger diameter than the outer sections. In a case like this (since the inner edges of the brackets will mount to the larger diameter section of the tubes) the inner mounting edge of the bracket must be relieved (ground or cut) a bit so the bracket mounts squarely on the tubes.The next step requires a good straightedge and an angle gauge. The angle gauge is used to set the rearend housing for a bit of pinion angle (though there's a lot of differing recommendations, I always set mine at 3-degrees of upward angle). The straightedge is used to ensure that the bar brackets are centered and the rear side of the brackets (where the shock mounting holes are located) are parallel to the mounting surface of the third member. Once in place, the brackets are tack-welded to the axle tubes.The finish welding is done a bit at a time—again, to keep the heat to a minimum. Overheating the tubes will cause warpage and a warped axle tube will cause undue stress on the axle bearings and seals, causing premature and constant wear.
The replacement rear crossmember/coilover mount is bolted in place of the original crossmember using the existing rivet holes.While Bob was mounting the new rear crossmember, Chuck attached the bars to the rear brackets—making sure all four of 'em were the same length and the rearend was lined up with the axle centerline marks scribed on the framerails at the beginning of the installation.After the bars comes the coilovers. The tops of the coilovers attach to the new rear crossmember and the lowers to the axle brackets. The axle brackets are designed with three mounting points for height adjustment. It's a good idea to start at the center mounting point, this way you'll have the option of raising or lowering the stance to your liking as a final adjustment.Installing the Panhard bar was the final step in this installation. The Panhard keeps the rearend tracking straight as the vehicle makes turns and applies sideward pressure on the suspension.Once all the mounting bolts were double-checked for tightness and Bob checked to make sure the rearend was squared in the frame and the wheels centered in both rear wheelwells, the job was done. The new rear suspension not only improved the truck's ride and handling but gave the truck a good-looking hot rod stance too. The Bob's F-100 Parts four-bar conversion is a great upgrade for any classic truck and something that any do-it-yourselfer comfortable with their welding skills can accomplish in a weekend. If ya don't have much in the way of welding skills, Bob's always happy to do the installation for ya as well.

Digging Ohio's primary election today. Everyone's expecting low turn-out, which only makes your vote even more valuable. If you're not sure what's on the ballot, check out CityBeat's roundup of election coverage for background on the U.S. Senate Democratic primary, the Democratic and Republican primaries for Hamilton County Commissioner, Issue 1 and more.
Dogging David Krikorian, running today in the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressional District against Surya Yalamanchili and Jim Parker for the right to face incumbent Rep. Jean Schmidt in the fall. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named Krikorian his "Worst Person in the World" a few days ago for suggesting that Indian-American Yalamanchili's name is too foreign-sounding to win an election.
With just five days left until the primary election, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is touring the state in her converted school bus, "the Courage Express," for some last-minute campaigning in her U.S. Senate bid.
Brunner made local stops at Take the Cake in Northside, Keller's IGA in Clifton and Fountain Square downtown.
The Ohio Elections Commission today dismissed a complaint filed by Cincinnati Tea Party founder Mike Wilson against his Republican primary opponent in the race for the 28th Ohio House District seat. Wilson had filed a complaint with the commission contesting statements used in a telephone poll recently conducted by Tom Weidman's campaign.
The weekly "State of the Nation" poll by Research 2000 found that President Obama is viewed favorably by 56 percent of respondents, compared to 39 percent who hold an unfavorable opinion about him. Five percent had no opinion.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) had a whopping 64 percent unfavorable rating, with just 17 percent viewing him favorably. Nineteen percent had no opinion.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) also had a 64 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 20 percent who view him favorably. Sixteen percent had no opinion.
The poll was conducted for The Daily Kos Web site.
A total of 1,200 registered voters nationwide were interviewed by telephone from March 22-25.
The margin of error is 2.8 percent, meaning there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire adult population were sampled.
Boehner and McConnell can take some solace: Democratic Congressional leaders fared poorly too.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had a 54 percent unfavorable rating, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) had a 66 percent unfavorable rating, according to the poll.
Still, Congressional Democrats fare better overall than their Republican counterparts.
Congressional Democrats had a 56 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 40 percent who view them favorably. Four percent had no opinion.
By comparison, Congressional Republicans had a 71 percent unfavorable rating, with 21 percent viewing them favorably. Eight percent had no opinion.
That's an increase of 3 percent who view Democrats favorably from a week earlier, compared to a decrease of 7 percent for Republicans.
Also, the Democratic Party had a 40 percent favorable rating, compared to the Republican Party's 28 percent.
There's still seven months until the general election so anything could happen but, if those numbers persist, it might be time for GOP leaders to scale back their talk of a Republican landslide in Congressional races.
The Tea Party might be good at organizing rallies outside the Capitol building in Washington and staging rallies at Fountain Square, but just how pervasive is the group's views among the American people?
Not very, according to a new poll.
Now that the U.S. House of Representatives approved a health care reform bill by a 219-212 vote and the Senate appears likely to follow suit, the political wagons are circling in what's sure to be some nasty congressional races this fall.
Republicans, however, shouldn't expect to cruise to victory, and here's why.

(prepared remarks)
Thank you, Chairman Hastings, for allowing me to participate in this important, and timely, hearing on Azerbaijan. My interest in the Caucasus region and Azerbaijan in particular, stems from my days on the Foreign Affairs Subcommittees on Europe and the Middle East and Central Asia. I know just how important the Caucasus are to regional stability and to counterterrorism and energy security.
The Helsinski Commission and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) process is so important in this region, particularly with respect to free elections, human rights and the rule of law. I was pleased to work with you in the development--and co-sponsorship--of House Resolution 183 dealing with the human rights situation in Azerbaijan. The Resolution highlighted a human rights case many in the international community believe was politically motivated from the beginning: the case of former Cabinet Minister, Farhad Aliyev, and his brother, Rafiq, former President of Azpetrol Oil Company.
Farhad was a well regarded reformer who advocated more integration with the West. They were arrested during the October 2005 parliamentary campaign; some 300 opposition activists and parliamentary candidates were also arrested. The original charges against Farhad alleged fomenting a coup. In his Application to the European Court of Human Rights, Farhad stated his brothers were also arrested, his wife was forced from her medical job, and her brother in law and uncle were arrested. They also rounded up his assistant and bodyguard. He testified at his trial authorities wanted him to admit he was part of an "orange revolution" incited by the US, Britain and Germany.
The Resolution called for the Government of Azerbaijan to immediately release the Aliyevs during trial, to assure their right to a fair and open trial before an impartial tribunal will be carried out, and to comply with its international human rights commitments respecting the rule of law. It also calls on Azerbaijan to release imprisoned journalists and to prosecute individuals who attack journalists.
Since the introduction of the Resolution a year ago, the Aliyevs have been tried, convicted and sentenced on unrelated financial charges after a 5 month show trial. The political nature of case is shown by Farhad's sentence: 10 years in prison, confiscation of property, and deprivation of the right to hold key government positions for 5 years.
The Resolution was intended to shed light on the human rights situation and the Aliyev case without making any claims of guilt or innocence. At the time, the Aliyevs were held in lengthy pre-trial detention in the isolation unit of the National Security Ministry, without family visitation or proper medical care, while the government mined through their personal and business records. Credible observers raised serious concerns about irregularities and violations of OSCE Rule of Law commitments. I am very disappointed there has been no movement whatsoever to address the issues raised in the Resolution.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to make the Resolution part of the hearing record.

About 40 years ago the Hawaiian language was on the brink of extinction. Traditional Hawaiian culture also was quickly dying out, replaced by a sort of a plastic culture that appealed to the booming tourist trade.
But along came the Hawaiian Renaissance, which helped restore the language and time-honored cultural practices. And with the help of local historian and author George Kanahele, it helped change workplaces in Hawaii, especially at tourist hotels.
Maui's Ka'anapali Beach Hotel was the first to embrace Kanahele's ideas of full employee participation in creating workplace values and ongoing cultural education. The program, says the hotel's cultural director, Lori Sablas, "helps with bonding and treats employees as individuals." The result? "We have little turnover, no union grievances, no strikes."
The Hawaiian values program was met initially with suspicion by some native employees, who resented interference by "haoles," a Hawaiian term for white people that can be derogatory. But the program has since been embraced throughout the islands, including at Outrigger Hotels & Resorts, where loyal employees with 30 to 40 years' service attest to its impact.
"One of the things I'm proud of and makes me feel good is that Hawaii is a melting pot of cultures, and everyone gets along here," says Robert McConnell, general manager of the Outrigger Waikiki. "We all are treated equally."
The key is education, Sablas says. At Ka'anapali she has presented more than 70 employee classes on Hawaiian culture, and she's always asking for each person's own cultural perspective on the topic.
"We share stories. What can we learn from them? The benefit is a better understanding of your co-workers that allows you to work better together."

Fatman Chassis Build - Fast FrameWritten by Gerry Burger on September 7, 2012 An All-New Chassis From Fatman Will Speed Up This Project
In our March 2012 issue we introduced you to our latest project truck, owned by our Tech Center Manager, Jason Scudellari. Adept at all things automotive, Jason decided it was time for a truck of his own and so the search began. Now we'd love to tell you he answered an obscure classified ad in the local newspaper only to find a pristine 1956 Chevrolet truck tucked away under blankets in some little old man's garage, but that's not exactly how it went down.
No, this one was located on Craigslist, hauled home for near nothing, and well, sometimes you get what you pay for. The old Chevy had led a long, hard life and beyond the rust, dents, and dings was a '56 Chevy desperate for repair. That's the bad news, the good news is, because of strong aftermarket support, all the parts and pieces to bring this truck back to its former glory are readily available. Throw in the abundant amount of talent Jason has and we're certain this truck will be saved.
After blasting and assessing the sheetmetal, Jason developed a plan for the truck. He wanted a good street driver, one with manners that would make it handle like a new car or better. The plan was the occasional show with some double duty at the autocross. Armed with a clear vision for the truck, it was time to develop the chassis to perform the outlined goals.
It soon became clear that, while front and rear suspension and brakes could be installed on the existing frame, the appeal of a whole new chassis and suspension began to make sense. The old frame would require some repairs prior to suspension installation, then the frame would need to be blasted clean, boxed, and the new suspension grafted to the frame. Listing all the parts needed for the job, it became clear that for a bit more money Jason could have a complete new chassis that would be stronger and more rigid than the original. With that in mind Jason placed a call to Brent VanDervort at Fatman Fabrications, and after discussing the project's objectives, a new chassis was designed for the truck.
The chassis would be based on the Fatman Fabrications' standard replacement frame that is constructed from 0.188-inch wall box tubing. The Mustang II-style front suspension incorporates the tubular control arms that come standard with the frame, and coilover shocks would provide suspension on all four corners. Out back a 9-inch Ford rearend will handle the power, and big Wilwood brakes will provide the stopping power for safe street driving and aggressive autocross braking. Beefy sway bars from Fatman Fabrications are located front and rear for performance handling, and the pedal box will incorporate both the power brake and clutch assembly.
Not only will this all-new chassis perform better than a modified existing frame, it will also speed the project along. Jason stays very busy keeping magazine projects going by day, so shop time for his own project is limited.
After the new chassis was ordered we stopped by the Fatman Fabrications frame shop in Charlotte, North Carolina, to see exactly how a Fatman Fabrications chassis is constructed. It was a true team effort with thanks to the Fatman team of Mike Craig, Josh Layton, Chris Elliot, Pete D'Orta, Scott Hobbs, and Eric Kisiah. We came away impressed and excited about the pending 1956 Chevy pickup project. Follow along with the photos to see what goes into building a top-notch, high-performance replacement chassis. CCT

After grinding the welds down, the taper front stub appears to be one piece. Machinist dye has been sprayed to mark the "C'd" area needed for rack-and-pinion clearance.After scribing the desired radius the piece was carefully cut out on a band saw. Note how the cut goes through the walls of both the main tubing and the added wedge.After cutting the weld down with a hard disc the finish grinding is done with a small flexible grinding disc. Workmanship on the frame is first class throughout.Tabs are tack-welded inside the main framerail section. These tabs serve two purposes, one as an alignment aid and as an internal "fish plate" to add strength when the butt-weld penetrates the plates.The rear framerail sections are formed much like the front stubs. Mandrel-bent pieces have a "C" added for rear axle clearance.This is the rear section of the framerail being slipped into place over the twin tabs in the main framerail.Note that both sections of the frame have been ground to a bevel. This gives the weld ample penetrating surface and ensures the wall thickness is not compromised after final grinding.
After the side rails have been welded, the front crossmember is located by the frame jig. Once again, all measurements are double-checked prior to welding.With the front crossmember tacked in place, our perimeter frame is looking like a full chassis. The tubes extending from the crossmember mount the lower control arms.Since the rear suspension will be coilover shocks, a simple box tubing rear crossmember is installed.The center crossmember incorporates a driveshaft loop and extends past the framerail to accommodate the outboard four-bar brackets. Note the perfect fit of all brackets. The chassis is upside down to ease fabrication on the rotisserie.Satisfied that the crossmember is properly located on the frame, the four-bar brackets are welded in place.The Fatman Fabrications crew tack welded the four-bar brackets to the 9-inch Ford housing and now it is time to locate the rear in the frame.The axle housing is located by installing the four-bars. At this time it is imperative to locate the exact axle centerline. Pinion angle can be dialed in by adjusting the bars.
The brackets for the diagonal bar mount to the four-bar bracket. This bar centers the rear housing and a piece of tubing is cut and welded to the bung in the photo.Josh Layton measures from the axle flange to the outside of the framerail to ensure the axle housing is properly centered.The bar has been cut and tack welded to center the housing, all the brackets are tack welded in place before any final welding is done.Now that the rear axle housing has been precisely positioned, the upper shock absorber mount can be located and tack-welded to the framerail. A bar simulates the shock absorber.After double checking all locations, Chris Elliot takes the housing back on the bench and TIG welds all the brackets to the housing.The final piece of the rear suspension puzzle is locating the sway bars. Coilover shocks and adjustable sway bars should make the truck handle like it's on rails.Here we see the finished four-bar bracket welded and ground to a final finish. The chassis is as good looking as it is strong.Looking from the rear, the sway bar hugs the shape of the rear axle perfectly. This makes for a clean appearance while working wonders for handling.
The crossmember and upper control arm bracket are now finish-welded in place, so we are ready to mount the Fatman suspension components.The lower control arm is bolted in place and raised to a perfectly level position to simulate final ride-height geometry. Note that the chassis is again upside down for this installation.The front sway bar is now clamped in place and the drop link from the lower control arm to the sway bar is bolted in place.Measurements ensure that both sway bar brackets are the exact distance from the end of the framerail. This prevents any unwanted binding of the bar.The framerail is tapped to accept the bolts; this process is tricky as the threads go through the wedge area so there are two walls inside the rail to tap.Moving toward the center of the frame, the bracket for the master cylinder is welded in place, the clutch pedal will pivot on the outside of the frame.
A Wilwood residual valve is used in the front and rear brake lines. Since the master cylinder is mounted low these valves prevent fluid bleed-back to the master cylinder.This simple tool is made from a piece of flat stock steel and serves as a temporary clamp while locating the brake lines.A small steel tab is welded to the chassis to locate steel line where it connects to the braided stainless steel flex hoses.The completed suspension is now installed; Jason will install the coilover shocks and Wilwood brakes after painting the chassis and suspension components.The new chassis is well designed, strong, and good looking. Fatman Fabrications can supply a pickup truck chassis in several different configurations from a bare frame to a complete roller.

|First Baptist makes move to Johnson St.
|Written by Darci Tomky
After nearly a year and a half of construction, the congregation of First Baptist Church of Holyoke is ready to make the move to the new church facility at 1000 E. Johnson St.
The first official services will be held there this weekend, Jan. 19-20. The contemporary Vintage Faith & Worship meets Saturdays at 7 p.m., regular Sunday morning services are at 10:30 a.m. and Vida Abundante is Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. in Spanish.
First Baptist Church at 1000 E. Johnson St.
Cement was first poured the end of September 2011 for the $1.6 million church on the southeast edge of town. With a total of around 14,000 square feet, the church has a large auditorium that seats 240, a big fellowship hall and a multi-purpose/youth room. The church is also excited for the spacious offices, nursery and kitchen.
The brand new facility is a big change from the former building, located at 343 S. Baxter Ave. Erection on the original structure began in 1928 at a cost of $16,000—100 times less than the cost of the new church. An education wing was added in 1961.
A month-long celebration will take place in March to observe First Baptist Church's 125th anniversary and to dedicate the new building.

Asia Pacific players to drive air cargo growth
December 24, 2012 - LM Editorial
The reshaping of the global air cargo industry over the past 12 months has been dramatic, with enterprising Asia Pacific carriers at the forefront of developments, said Andrew Herdman, executive director, Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA).
He noted, however, that the global economic slowdown has had an impact on air freight, which has remained depressed as a result of weak consumer confidence in Europe and the United States, with a corresponding slowdown of exports from Asia.
As Asian carriers operate large freighter fleets and account for approximately 40% of global air cargo traffic, they have been particularly hard hit by the current cargo market weakness.
But change is in the air: "The shift of global economic power eastwards is continuing, driven by the rapid development of China and India, with added momentum from other dynamic Asian economies including Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand," said Herdman. "Steadily rising incomes are driving sustained growth in cargo demand, which is being met by innovative Asian airlines using a variety of business models."

Neuroblastoma is a tumor of nerve tissue that, under the microscope, looks like "small, round, blue" cells.. Neuroblastoma most commonly arises in the abdomen (from the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys), but can also start in the neck, chest, or pelvis. Unfortunately, regardless of where it starts, by the time it is diagnosed the cancer has often spread (metastasized) throughout the body, usually to the lymph nodes, liver, lungs, bones, and bone marrow.
Neuroblastoma is the most common non-brain solid pediatric tumor. It is mainly a tumor of infancy and early childhood. In fact, the majority of neuroblastoma cases are diagnosed in children younger than 5 years of age. It is rarely found in children older than 10 years. Actually, the tumor is often present at birth but not detected until later, when it has grown to a noticeable size and/or starts to cause symptoms.
The typical symptoms of neuroblastoma are related to the location of the tumor. They occur when the tumor grows and exerts pressure on surrounding organs or within bone. An abdominal tumor may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and/or constipation. Involvement of the bones and bone marrow can cause diffuse bony pain or pain in a specific bone or joint. Parents of young children who cannot yet speak may note that a child with neuroblastoma has started refusing to walk; this may be due to pain with walking. A trademark sign of orbit involvement by tumor cells is a young child with bulging eyes and dark circles under the eyes ("raccoon eyes"). General findings may include fever, weight loss, and anemia. Occasionally, neuroblastoma tumors may release hormones and neurotransmitters that can cause high blood pressure, severe watery diarrhea, jerky muscle spasms, and/or uncontrollable eye movement (a syndrome called "opsoclonus/myoclonus" or "dancing eyes/dancing feet."
There are a few reports of neuroblastoma cases that are incidentally detected before birth by fetal ultrasound. Such cases are exceedingly rare; much more commonly, neuroblastoma is diagnosed after symptoms such as the above are noted. In such a situation, the child should be examined by the pediatrician, who will perform a careful physical examination and typically order some laboratory tests and imaging studies. The urine can be tested for catecholamines, which are special hormones normally produced only by the adrenal gland but are also produced by 90% of neuroblastomas. A computed tomographic (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan may also be ordered.
Ultimately, a definitive diagnosis of neuroblastoma requires a tissue sample, and thus a tissue biopsy from the tumor and/or bone marrow is obtained. A biopsy is a small sample of the suspected tumor tissue that is surgically removed and examined under a microscope. It can sometimes be done by making a small hole and using a needle to extract a sample of the tissue.
Once the diagnosis of neuroblastoma is made, a bone marrow biopsy and a bone scan is done to see if the tumor has spread. Another special test for neuroblastoma is the I-123 MIBG scan, which is a nuclear medicine study. It is uses a radioactive tracer (metaiodobenzylguanidine, or MIBG) that is specifically taken up by neuroblastoma cells and may detect hidden deposits of tumor using a gamma camera.
For the purposes of understanding the full spectrum of neuroblastoma and extent of disease, think of neuroblastoma as falling into one of the following categories:
The actual medical staging system used by healthcare professionals is The International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS), which has been in use since the 1990's. The stages are:
The cancer is on one side of the body and is localized (hasn't spread). All visible tumor is totally removed by surgery. Examination of the tumor's edges under the microscope may show some cancer cells. Lymph nodes enclosed within the tumor may contain neuroblastoma cells, but lymph nodes outside of the tumor should be free of cancer.
The cancer is on one side of the body and is localized, but because of its size, location, or relationship to other organs, it cannot be totally removed by surgery. Lymph nodes enclosed within the tumor may contain neuroblastoma cells, but lymph nodes outside of the tumor should be free of cancer.
The cancer is on one side of the body, is localized, and may or may not be able to be totally removed by surgery. Lymph nodes outside the tumor contain neuroblastoma cells, but the cancer has not spread to lymph nodes on the other side of the body.
The cancer has spread to distant sites such as lymph nodes, bone, liver, skin, bone marrow, or other organs. But the child does not meet criteria for stage 4S.
The child is less than 1 year old. The cancer is on one side of the body and is localized. It may have spread to lymph nodes on the same side of the body, but not to nodes on the other side. Neuroblastoma has spread to the liver, skin, and/or the bone marrow. However, no greater than 10% of marrow cells may be cancerous, and imaging studies should not show bone damage.
The cancer has come back (recurred) after it was previously treated. It may come back in the area where it first started or in another part of the body.
Generally speaking, the chance of recovery (prognosis) for any given patient with neuroblastoma depends on the child's age at diagnosis, the location of the tumor, the appearance of the tumor cells under a microscope, and, of course, the stage of disease.
Specifically, the following features of cancer tend to predict the child's likelihood of cure better than the prediction using only disease stage:
Tumor grade - Tumor grade is based on appearance of neuroblastoma cells under the microscope, which include estimates of proliferative activity (proportion of actively dividing cells) and ratios of very immature cells to more mature, normal nerve tissue-resembling cells.
DNA ploidy - Ploidy refers to the amount of DNA in each cell, aka ploidy, measured by special lab techniques like flow cytometry or imaging cytometry. Normal cells are diploid. Neuroblastoma cells with increased amounts of DNA are termed hyperdiploid, and in infants, hyperdiploid cells are associated with earlier stages of disease, better response to therapy, and thus a generally better outcome than diploid cells.
Cytogenetics -The cytogenetic make up of a cell refers to the number of chromosomes the cell as counted under a microscope, with notation of any abnormalities. Normal cells have 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23), which are made of DNA and protein. Neuroblastomas with normal chromosome numbers tend to be more aggressive than those with extra chromosomes. Tumors that are missing certain parts of chromosomes 1 or 11 (known as "1p deletions" or "11q deletions") have a worse prognosis. Neuroblastomas with too many copies of the N-MYC oncogene (amplification) tend to grow more quickly and are associated with a worse prognosis than children without the amplification.
Oncogene amplifications - Oncogenes are regions of DNA that are vital in controlling cell growth.Changes within those genes can make cells grow and divide too quickly, which is what cancer cells do.
Serum markers - neuroblastoma cells may release chemicals into the blood:
Using many of the above prognostic factors in concert, three different risk groups can be created. Children with neuroblastoma can be assigned to the appropriate risk group in order to help guide treatment:
Because neuroblastoma is relatively rare, it is best treated at a facility by clinicians who have experience. If possible, children should be treated on a cooperative group clinical protocol.
Children at low risk usually only require surgery, as this should remove all visible and microscopic tumor from the body in this group of patients. However, for those few children that might be symptomatic, chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be required to control the symptoms.
Children at intermediate risk should receive 4 to 8 cycles (1 or 2 courses) of chemotherapy before or after surgery to control the disease, usually given as a combination of agents. The typical drugs used in neuroblastoma include: cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, carboplatin, and etoposide. "Second look" surgery (repeat surgery after chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to check the results of therapy and to remove any remaining cancerous tissue if possible) or radiation therapy may or may not be needed.
Children at high risk require very intensive chemotherapy, which can necessitate bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplant(s) for marrow support. Total body irradiation has sometimes been used as part of bone marrow transplant, but it is not always used. Surgery and/or localized radiation therapy may be part of the treatment. Biological agents such as 13-cis retinoic acid and antibody treatments may also be offered, particularly to children who are being treated on cooperative group protocols. MIBG, which is often used as part of the diagnosis and staging for neuroblastoma (see above) can also sometimes be used therapeutically for treatment of refractory or progressive disease.
Unfortunately, some children will have disease recurrence after initial therapy. Treatment options at this point will depend on many factors, including the initial risk group and where in the body the cancer came back. Chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, or even simple observation may be appropriate, depending on the circumstances.
Some children with neuroblastoma may be good candidates for proton therapy. Proton therapy has been used for neuroblastoma at some specialized centers, including the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Massachusetts General Hospital. The decision of whether proton therapy is the best treatment for a certain patient must be made by the team of physicians caring for the child, as well as a team from a proton referral center.
The 5-year survival rate refers to the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is diagnosed. These rates are for treated neuroblastoma.
5-year survival by age:
10-year (long-term) survival by risk group:

Telepan is an established name on the Upper West Side, a special-occasion restaurant for exceptional seasonal New American cuisine. Telepan Local in TriBeCa is more of an all-occasion experience, featuring small, ingredient-driven dishes like earthy mushrooms intensified by time spent cooking in parchment paper with butter and fresh herbs. In case you didn't know, Bill Telepan is the man behind the curtain, a chef who's worked with Daniel Boulud and Alfred Portale, among others. His more casual downtown outpost is along the same lines as Wylie Dufresne spinning off Alder from wd-50. There is a commodious marble bar and a wood-clad dining room astir with plaid-shirted servers evoking an Oklahoma chorus. Pigs in a blanket with honey mustard, roasted beets with ricotta and honey, and lamb tartare with fennel and black olive particularly show how the farmer and the cattle rancher and the chef can all be the best of friends.

BTW there are a few more pics of this deer in the ifish thread. Check it out.
Also a link to the buck last year.
This is a town buck so no one should be scheduling hunts after this buck, but the genetics are out of this world. It shows the potential in Oregon if only management were different.
I am reposting pictures from the local Bend paper, Nosler apparently is saying that the first pic was taken on their property, that I discovered from a thread on ifish. http://www.ifish.net/board/showthrea...92#post4652592
I guess when it all said and done he is close to 260. Maybe a 40" outside spread, and a 30" inside spread. thoughts?

Thanks for posting. Awesome deer!
I think I would have to give him another year.
Hope he has a good place to hide with his new found publicity!

Crazy to think I live only a few miles from a buck of that caliber. The biggest bucks I've seen in the last 10 years have all been in Bend city limits. I have a friend who saw a giant buck, not as big as this one but similar, on public land about 10 miles outside of Bend last November. I've also heard of a few caught on trail cams that sound similar to it too. The genetics are there, the big public land bucks or usually not seen unless by trail cam or during the rut. Seeing a buck even close to this one on public land one is very, very rare. But I believe there are a few still roaming around.

Just got into archery 6 months ago. Purchased a Bear Charge from a respectable dealer that set it up "well" from what I can determine. Been target shooting, but want to hunt deer & whatever I can get a permit for (Elk possibly) next fall. Wondering what I should look into as far as..... "best" arrows; .....should I consider changing string before the fall to something better.......... should I add one of those short stabilizers I see the target shooters using on my HUNTING bow.......... anything I'm not thinking of I should be adding as far as equipment? I'm shooting tight groups up to 30 yards at 54 lbs draw weight (should be at 60 lbs by next fall) with Easton AXIS N-FUSED CARBON 400's with 100 grain tips.
Appreciate any comments/suggestions.

A further update on the issue, guys; I began taking magnesium tablets two days ago, and so far have had no cramps at all. The jury's still out though!
I have the same problem with leg cramps. My doctor recommended magnesium and it worked but after awhile I got a reaction and could not take it anymore. Now I've been taking Hyland's Leg Cramp pills. I think they've got quinine in them. They are a homeopathic type treatment and they work for me. The only problem is that they're only good for four hours or so. I take two at bedtime and usually make it all night (7 1/2 hours). Might be worth looking at.
Every hunting season you miss is one you can not make up.
I'll check `em out, Moose; The magnesium seems to be working so far. I decided to test it yesterday, so didn't take the evening pills after scything my "back 40". Hadn't used the scythe for quite a while, and worked up a good sweat doing so. Then a serious period of relaxation after dinner with a good cigar. This usually brings out the cramp gremlin, and sure enough, as I got out of bed this morning, there he was, waiting for me!
There's an old folk remedy for night-time cramps, sleeping with a bar of soap in your bed. I know this sounds flaky and I was/am skeptical myself, but my Mom swears by it. If you google "bar of soap" and "leg cramps," you will get lots of info. Doesn't cost much to try.
Sorry about the late reply but for those just checking in; Try LEGATRIN PM (Wal mart, keep looking, they're there). I get horrendously bad leg cramps after an extremely hard day of walking/climbing and one of these pills when the cramp hits and the cramp disappears in about one minute. Might be a placebo for all I know and I don't give a hoot...they work!!!
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. M.T.
if it is basic dehydration salty foods will help alot. I like to use olives, but use what works.
Many endurance athletes drink pickle juice on big activities to lessen cramping. After excercising eat salty stuff. Like i said, olives work real well for me.
If I cramp up I run for the salt shaker.
I tend to avoid sodium due to hypertension and cardiac issues but live an active lifestyle, including working out, and know from experience what cramping is from for me.
My solution is to eat salt and consume water. For me it works but I would check with my physician before doing such. I did, two specialist and my G.P., before doing this. It's something I learned long ago from a combat vet in a land far away.
And who said a bunch of hunters on the Internet couldn't be doctors
Try SaltStick capsules then magnesium supplements if that doesn't work.

Hy Vee Officials Meet With Zoning Commission
(Le Mars) -- Officials from the Hy-Vee supermarket chain were in Le Mars on Wednesday afternoon. They appeared before the Le Mars Planning and Zoning Commission during a special meeting held at the city council chambers. Hy-Vee officials along with Roger Athens of the Athens Real Estate office of Le Mars were requesting the zoning commission to approve a change with local zoning laws from an I-1 Light Industrial District to B-2, general business district. The Planning and Zoning commission approved the request.
There is some speculation that Hy-Vee is considering building a new store for Le Mars and it may be situated at 800 Lincoln Way S.W. That address currently has the Children's Treasure Isle, and in the past it has served as offices for Wells Enterprises. A For Sale sign has been posted in front of the property for several months. Hy-Vee spokesperson Ruth Comber told KLEM news that it is not Hy-Vee's policy to speak about real estate transactions.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A man was hit in the leg after being shot at five to seven times in a Sam's Food Store parking lot on Monday night, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office police report.
While the victim was sitting in the passenger seat waiting for his three friends to return to the car, the alleged male suspect who shot him began shooting toward him from the alley behind Sam's Food Store.
Two other males were with the suspect, the victim told police. During the shooting, the victim was able to exit the vehicle and run into the store.
JSO observed the damage to the right front passenger exterior of the vehicle, which was consistent with the victim's story.
The victim was transported to Shands hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.

The Buffalo Sabres have choices to make this off-season that will have a huge effect on the long-term direction and immediate future of the franchise. Among those pending decisions is whether to trade start goaltender Ryan Miller.
Trading Miller is pretty complicated – both in the reasons they may have to trade him and in the process. If Miller can be convinced to stay, then how much should he be paid after his contract comes up next season? Will he want to stay through a rebuild? What type of return can the Sabres get for him? Will there be any buyers?
Lots of questions, most of which we'd have to be inside Miller's or Darcy Regier's head to know the answer.
But there's one question surrounding the Sabres' future in goal that we can attempt to answer: Can Jhonas Enroth be a No. 1 goalie?
What the Stats Say
We can only really know the answer when he's spent about two full seasons as a starter. But we – and the Sabres - don't have that luxury. All we have to work with is 53 NHL games.
In those 53 games, Enroth has a .914 overall Save percentage and a .926 Even-Strength Save Percentage. League average during his young career is .912 and .919.
(as an aside, there's no point to breaking down his year-by-year or during stretches where he performed well or poorly. First, 53 games is a small sample size and hard to draw from. What's 15 of the 53? So small that it's pointless to over-analyze. Also, every goaltender goes through ups and downs. You can find a good or bad stretch from Henrik Lundqvist or Jonathan Quick, too. Equally as unimportant are Wins and Losses and Goals Against Average. They are not indicators of future performance and are highly flawed.)
Even-Strength Save Percentage is a better indicator of how well a goalie will play in the future because most goalies' Power Play Save Percentages vary wildly from year to year. There's a much bigger luck, teammate and system factor to Power Plays.
Take a look at Henrik Lundqvist year-to-year PP Save Percentage, for example:
2008-09: .913
2009-10: .883
2010-11: .873
2011-12: .905
Was he THAT different of a goaltender from 08-09 or could a few bad bounces or mistakes by his defense made a big difference in the statistic? Most likely the latter.
So Enroth's .926 Even Strength Save Percentage is a good sign for him. It doesn't, however, suggest he would be able to maintain a .926 EV Save Percentage if he were to have played 53 games as a starter. He's only played back-to-back games a few times during his career. If he were to handle a heavier workload, statistical analysis shows his numbers would likely go down.
Broad Street Hockey studied how goalies performed in back-to-back games this season. It showed a huge gap between back-to-back games and with at least one day of rest. (as another aside, this stat should suggest Ryan Miller is even better than his numbers show considering Lindy Ruff used him for 20-plus games in a row sometimes)
Also, Enroth has never had to handle a significant workload as a pro. In his three years in the American Hockey League, he played 58, 48 and 41 games. In the third year, however, he was called up and did play many of Portland's back-to-backs. Then again, the third year was his worst in terms of Save Percentage at .912 compared to .919 in 2009-10 and .914 in 2008-09.
Another advanced stat says good things about how Enroth has performed during his time in the NHL: Quality Starts. Similar to baseball, Quality Starts give an idea of whether a netminder played well enough to deserve a win, despite whether he got one or not. It's figured by the amount of starts in which a goalie either allowed 2 goals or fewer or ended a game with a .912 (league average) save percentage.
Over Enroth's career, he's started 45 games and posted 28 quality starts. That's 62.2 percent. Here are the best Quaity Start Precentages of 2011-12
Jonathan Quick: 68.1% Henrik Lundqvist: 66.1% Jimmy Howard: 64.9%
Again, there's the back-to-back thing, but 62.2 percent is very solid.
Save percentage and quality starts can also be effected by teammates and system. The Sabres were the worst puck possession team in the NHL and allowed 31.2 shots per 60 minutes when Enroth was in goal. More shots means more chances for a bad bounce, more sustained pressure and so forth. During a poor stretch in 2009-10, Enroth also played behind a beat-up group of defenseman. And Lindy Ruff played a system that asked defenseman to jump up into the play and be aggressive. This often led to odd-man rushes and asked a lot of the goaltender position.
All these factors should be considered when evaluating Enroth. Could he have posted better numbers in the 53-game sample if he had a better team? It seems likely.
Enroth has played the majority of his games during his age 23 and 24 seasons. Posting solid numbers during those years gives even more indication that he's on the right path. Many goaltenders don't hit their prime until age 25-28 because of the difficulty and mental factors involved in the position. So it's difficult to find many goalies who were getting significant time during those years.
Here's how Enroth's .926 Even-Strength Save Percentage in 1,187 shots compares to others' during their age 23 and 24 seasons:
Lunogo: .931 (3,377 shots)
Lundqvist: .930 (2,441)
Fleury: .928 (2,105)
Quick: .926 (2,308)
Rask: .926 (1,223)
Price: .925 (3,250)
Lehtonen: .925 (2,742)
Ward: .922 (2,886)
Pavelec: .916 (3,058)
Comparatively, Enroth is in the ballpark.
For the "watch the game" crowd, I watched and categorized all 27 goals against Jhonas Enroth this season. I watched an additional 100 or so saves by the Swedish netminder. All the video clips were provided by NHL.com.

*Stoppable goals were defined by several factors: Whether he appeared to be in position to make the save, whether an above average goalie would be expected to make the stop whether his teammates played correctly and common sense:
Here's what we can draw from watching his goals against: During his .919 save percentage and .926 Even-Strength Save Percentage 2013 season, there were some regrettable goals. The final goal of the year allowed against the Rangers was unacceptable. It was a junk toss at the net and complete loss of concentration and competitiveness in a blowout. Several others were shots that were directly at him, but were allowed to sneak through Enroth's five-hole.
But all things considered, more than half of the goals allowed were ones that even the best netminders in the league would have missed as well.
The high glove side was scored upon the most, which is to be expected from a goalie in 2013. Almost all goalies play some form of butterfly these days. They go down to their pads early to cut off the lower half of the net and leave the top open. But that didn't make up all the Glove High goals. Some were simply too quick or a whiff. If Enroth is a starter, advanced scouting reports may help opponents target the high glove shot.
There's little question teams would also try to take a lot of junk shots that are low because of Enroth's inconsistent rebound control. During his game against the New Jersey Devils, he faced 29 shots. On 12 of those shots, he allowed either another shot attempt within two seconds of the first shot – including on the game-winning goal by Patrick Elias. That's too many rebounds and – from watching – there are too many saves where the puck pops directly in front of the net rather than out of play or to the side.
Enroth isn't easy to compare to other goaltenders. You're wasting your time comparing him to Ryan Miller because of the significant height difference. Plus, Miller's style is different. He's butterfly, yes, but he's more aggressive, coming out of the net farther to cut down the angle. Miller also has quicker pads. As for shorter goalies than Miller, Antti Niemi (still 6-foot-2) plays deeper in his crease than Miller or another under-sized goalie like Jonathan Quick.
You can see here the difference between how far Quick comes out of his net and Enroth.
The overall takeaway from video:
What he does well...
Enroth may lose concentration at times, but when he's on his game, he's extremely competitive. You'll often see him battle through shot after shot on a sustained rush. With each shot, it seems like he ups his competitive level as if he's enjoying the challenge. He doesn't get rattled mentally and allow bad goals or have too many bad games in succession. In net, he's still developing his style and positioning. Despite his size, he's able to find shooters through traffic and he's very strong at anticipating where the puck will go next.
What could be a problem...
He's leaving the short side open too often giving simple wristers from the circle a chance.
Jhonas Enroth has had an interesting ride so far. He's seen some ups and downs and has always bounced back after the downs. The statistics and video analysis both suggest he's got the skill required to be an NHL goalie.
Can he be a No. 1 starter? That question is still difficult to answer because there simply isn't enough information to say definitively he'd make an above average No. 1. There is no position harder to project than goaltender – and by a mile.
That being said, his statistics and performance in 2013 say he has a good chance at being capable – even very good.
If the Sabres are forced to trade Ryan Miller this summer, Enroth may be very effective as part of a goalie tandem in 2013-14. It would be unwise to throw a goalie who's never played more than 58 games in a pro season into a 60-plus game NHL season. It would also be unwise to put huge statistical expectations on a netminder who will be backstopping a rebuilding club.
Simply put: If the opportunity comes, Enroth deserves a chance.
