Due to my Colts having a 1 p.m. game on Sunday, along with the rest of the NFL playoffs this weekend, I decided to knock this thing out on Saturday instead of Sunday. Follow me on Twitter by clicking here.
Kevin Love Update: Of course, the week I put this column out a little early, news breaks on Kevin Love's broken finger shortly thereafter. Dante Cunningham will get the start on Saturday and should be watched very closely in that one. Derrick Williams just hasn't been able to shoot the ball this season, but will also get an opportunity to right the ship with Love expected to miss time (4-6 weeks? No timetable set yet). Neither player qualifies as must-own in my mind at this point, and it should just mean more goodies for guys like Nikola Pekovic, Andrei Kirilenko, and anyone else on the Wolves who can score, like Alexey Shved and J.J. Barea. If I was picking up one of the forwards tonight, I would go with Cunningham because he's starting, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see Williams get some starts, and it's a flip of the coin as to which one will actually pan out in the long run. Either way, don't expect any miracles from Cunningham or Williams. This is obviously devastating news for Love and his fantasy owners, and I really wish I would have been more scared of his injury coming into the season, instead of thinking he would be good to go after a couple weeks. His shooting was dreadful and it could be terrible all year, and we don't even know when Love will be able to play again at this point. I am going to hold him in my weekly leagues for now, and consider dropping him in my daily league, as I simply won't have time to wait on the guy I took at No. 12 overall in my draft. C'est la vie.
Point Guards
Jason Kidd Knicks - 74% owned in Yahoo! Leagues – Kidd hasn't exactly been tearing it up lately, but he's still going to see plenty of opportunities for as long as Raymond Felton is out (another month or so) with his finger injury. Kidd is averaging 10 points, 4.6 boards, 5.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.4 3-pointers over his last five, despite Tuesday's game, when he failed to score and basically stunk.
J.J. Barea Wolves - 11% owned – JJB had scored in double figures in 13 straight games, including every game in December, before cooling off with a four-point game on Wednesday. He was back at it on Thursday with 17 points, four boards, five assists and two 3-pointers, and if you throw out the bad night on Wednesday, he's averaging 14 points, 4.25 boards, 4.25 assists and 1.25 3-pointers on 43 percent shooting over his last four games. He's not going to save your team in assists, but could be a nice addition, especially in points leagues.
Andre Miller Nuggets - 46% owned – While Ty Lawson avoided a potential catastrophe with his Achilles injury, Miller is still going to get plenty of run while Lawson's disappointing season continues. He's averaging 8.8 points and 5.7 assists on the season, and 9.4 points and 7.8 over the last five, when Lawson has been bothered by his injury. Miller's still not a must-own player, but if you're looking for some point guard help (as well as a quick plug-in for this Saturday and Sunday), Miller works.
Jamaal Tinsley Jazz - 8% owned – Tinsley is the starting point guard with Mo Williams out indefinitely with thumb surgery, but isn't doing much to make his new owners happy right now. He's scored three or fewer points in three of his last five games and is averaging just 5.0 points and 5.6 assists over his last five, despite hitting 52 percent of his shots. It's important to note that it's a miracle that Tinsley is even still in the NBA after not playing in the league for the 2008-09 and 2010-11 seasons, and he's almost 35 years old. I still think Tinsley will find a groove and start playing better in the near future, while Earl Watson's numbers are even worse than Tinsley's right now. Tinsley's not a must-start player, but should still be worth owning as long as he's starting for the Jazz.
Garrett Temple Wizards - 4% owned – I haven't been a "Temple guy" or picked him up this season, but he caught my eye on Friday when he had eight points, seven rebounds, 11 assists, a steal and a 3-pointer in 47 minutes of a double-overtime loss to the Nets. His shooting has been pretty atrocious lately, as he's 7-for-30 over his last four games, and he's scored eight or fewer points in four of his last five games. John Wall might eventually be ready to come back, Randy Wittman could tire of Temple at any time, and Jordan Crawford is still hot, all of which will keep Temple from ever becoming a household name. But if you're desperate at point guard in your fantasy league, he might be the best thing sitting on your waiver wire. The Wiz only have two games in Week 11.
Shooting Guards
Bradley Beal Wizards - 56% owned – I somehow was able to pick up Beal on Monday in one league and he's been very hot lately. Coming off his Rookie of the Month award, he went off for his best game of the season on Friday with 24 points, six boards, four assists, three steals, a block and two 3-pointers on 10-of-19 shooting, although it was a double-OT game. Still, he's averaging 17 points, 3.6 boards, 3.2 assists, a steal and 1.6 3-pointers on 42 percent shooting over his last five games, and is once again a must-own player. Just beware that he could eventually take a hit if and when John Wall finally shows his face. The only downside with Beal right now is the 2-game week, but the fact he's owned in only half the leagues out there is a joke.
Gordon Hayward Jazz - 62% owned – Hayward is a guy I've been down on all season, as in, I'm really glad I didn't draft him. However, he still has some fantasy value and has really kicked it up a notch recently, averaging 16 points and 1.5 3-pointers over his last four games, but still isn't doing much else. I would argue that Marvin Williams and Hayward will continue to struggle to co-exist as long as Marvin is starting and healthy, even though Hayward is also seeing time at shooting guard. Hayward's upside is limited, especially coming off the bench, so look elsewhere if you're trying to hit a homerun and not just fill in a hole.
C.J. Miles Cavaliers - 18% owned – Miles is suddenly starting over Dion Waiters for the Cavs and has averaged 15 points and 2.5 3-pointers in his last two games, which were both starts. But even before Byron Scott gave him the job, he was hot, scoring 33 and 10 points with 10 3-pointers in his previous two games off the bench, and all signs are pointing to him sticking in the starting five, at least while he's hot. He's played between 29 and 39 minutes in each of his last three games and the Cavs have four games this week. If you need a scorer who can hit threes (as well as a guy who could possibly disappear in a moment's notice), Miles deserves a serious look.
Vince Carter Mavericks - 47% owned – Do I trust Vince Carter? Nope. But does he suddenly look like a much younger version of himself, throwing down dunks and turning back the clock? Yes, he does. He's hit double digits in scoring in four straight games and is averaging 14 points, 5.2 boards, 0.8 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over his last five, in 27 minutes per. Keep in mind that Shawn Marion is playing fairly well, Dirk Nowitzki's minutes and production are on the rise, and O.J. Mayo's slump appears to finally be over. None of those things are too promising for Carter, but he's still playing well enough to be given a look in most leagues. Just beware that when Dirk starts on Saturday, it's probably Carter, and not Marion, who will be coming off the bench, which is going to hurt.
Terrence Ross Raptors - 7% owned – Ross had just three points in 18 minutes on Friday and four points in 24 minutes the previous Friday, but sandwiched a pair of gems in between them. He had 16 points and four treys last Saturday, and 26 points and six 3-pointers on Wednesday. He's not a must-own player, but the talent is there if he can get minutes from Dwane Casey. Just expect plenty of ups and downs if you take a flier on him. Over the last five he checks in at 12 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.4 3-pointers, and the threes may be a mirage based on the two games he was on fire.
Small Forwards
Harrison Barnes Warriors - 46% owned – Barnes is heating up, hitting double digits in scoring in five of his last six games and averaging 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.2 3-pointers while shooting 49 percent over his last five. He's started every game for the Warriors this season and is only going to get better. If he's still available in your leagues, now is the time to pick him up.
John Salmons 16% owned (and Francisco Garcia 2% owned) Kings – Salmons had 20 points, four assists and a 3-pointer on Friday and had 23 points, six boards and four assists last Sunday. He's averaging 13.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over his last five, and should continue to be a decent option for as long as Tyreke Evans is out with his bum knee, but he's targeting Monday as a return date. Garcia might be worth a look in very deep leagues now that he's back in the rotation, and he's been starting with Evans out. He's scored six or fewer points in four of his last five, but did play very well on Wednesday with 14 points, six boards, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers. Over his last five he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 3-pointers, but he's the most likely candidate to go back to the bench once Evans is back. Salmons could stay hot, even when Evans returns, but Garcia's run could be ready to come to an end.
Mike Dunleavy Bucks - 43% owned – Looking at Dunleavy's game log can be a dizzying task, as he tends to be up and down like a see-saw, but he's playing well again off the bench. After three straight games in single-digit scoring, he's hit double figures in four of his last five and is averaging 15 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.6 3-pointers over his last five games. Just beware that if Ersan Ilyasova ever finally gets it going, Dunleavy's consistency will continue to rise and fall like a roller coaster.
Corey Brewer Nuggets - 18% owned – Brewer failed to score last Friday after his 27-point explosion on Wednesday, but has hit double digits in four of his last five. He's averaging 12 points, 3.6 boards, 1.8 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over that stretch and continues to be an important bench player for the Nuggets. And if you need games played in a daily league to finish out this week, the Nuggets play on Saturday and Sunday to finish out Week 10.
Austin Daye Pistons - 2% owned – Lawrence Frank is finally giving Daye some run and Daye has responded with some nice numbers. He's scored in double digits in three of his last four, including Friday's 20-point game, which also included six boards and two 3-pointers on 9-of-11 shooting in 22 minutes. And over his last five, he's averaging 11.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 3-pointers. There's no telling how long Frank will stick with him, but Daye is always capable of playing well if he gets minutes, and he's averaging 23 of them over his last five games. Just don't be surprised if he disappears at some point once his run is over, and don't plan on using him this week with just two games.
Power Forwards
Ed Davis 30% owned & Amir Johnson 18% owned Raptors – Dwane Casey said recently that it's going to be tough to bench Davis anytime soon, and Andrea Bargnani and Jonas Valanciunas don't appear to be close to returning from their injuries. Davis is averaging 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks over his last five games and looks like a very safe power forward to start right now. Amir Johnson is also worth a look, but fizzled in his last game with zero points before fouling out in just nine minutes. Prior to that, he averaged nearly 12 points, seven boards and 1.25 blocks in four games, and he'll bounce back from Friday's disaster. But if I had to pick one right now, I'd switch my call up from Johnson to Davis.
Tristan Thompson Cavaliers - 39% owned – Thompson has been hot ever since Anderson Varejao went down with his knee injury and has gained confidence along the way. He's averaging 13.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks over his last five games. He'll likely take a hit once Varejao is back, but he could miss another week, making Thompson a nearly must-start player for Week 11's four games.
Kevin Seraphin Wizards - 18% owned – I was high on Seraphin and then dumped him when Randy Wittman planted him on the bench, but he's coming on again. He hit double figures in scoring in four straight before Friday's six-point game (on 1-of-9 shooting), and is averaging 12.2 points, 5.4 boards and 1.6 blocks over his last five. It looks like the minutes are back and he's still shooting at 44 percent over his last five, despite the 1-for-9 meltdown on Friday.
Patrick Patterson Rockets - 27% owned – Patterson is back from his foot injury and starting to round into form. He's averaging 16.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 3-pointers in his last two games, and his minutes should continue to rise. It's time to pick him up, as he should only get better as his foot injury continues to heal.
John Henson Bucks - 3% owned – Henson exploded for 20 points, nine boards, a steal and block on 10-of-11 shooting on Wednesday, and I kind of blew it off in his blurb, as that was really the first time he had done anything in a month. Add in the fact he plays for Scott Skiles, and it seemed to have "fluke" written all over it. But then he did it again Friday, going for 11 points, 15 boards, two steals and two blocks on 5-of-10 shooting, and he's averaging 25 minutes over those two games. This is still very much a potential "fluke" situation, as the Bucks are very deep at forward and Henson is unproven, but he's worth a flier after those two big games. Just don't cut a player you rely on to take a chance on Skiles' flavor of the minute.
Andre Drummond Pistons - 31% owned – I love watching Drummond play and he's averaging 24 minutes per game over his last five, in which he's averaged 9.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks. The minutes should continue to be a concern going forward, but at some point, Lawrence Frank is going to have to suck it up and start Drummond over Jason Maxiell. When it happens, Drummond should be a beast, and is still worth a shot, even if he continues to come off the bench. I think he should be owned in most leagues, but he only plays two games in Week 11.
Derrick Favors Jazz - 62% owned – Favors would be owned in every league if he didn't play behind Paul Millsap, but the fact remains that he does. Despite some very inconsistent playing time and lack of a solid role for the Jazz, he's still averaging 8.6 points, 5.8 boards, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last five games, and is coming off a 32-minute solid line with Enes Kanter out on Friday. Favors remains a player worth holding in all leagues in hopes that he or Millsap gets moved.
Kosta Koufos Nuggets - 25% owned – Koufos isn't the most exciting center around, but he's starting over JaVale McGee and averaging 8.8 points, 5.8 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks over his last five games, and 7.7 points, 6.3 boards and 1.7 blocks on the season. He's been fairly consistent and is a reliable center in deeper leagues.
Emeka Okafor Wizards - 53% owned – Okafor's scoring is inconsistent but he's still playing pretty well, with double figures in rebounds in five of his last seven games, and four double-doubles over that stretch. He's averaging 8.8 points, 11.2 boards and 1.2 blocks over his last five and remains a decent option in two-center leagues.
Zaza Pachulia Hawks - 8% owned – I hear sometimes that the guys I write about are already owned in leagues, but that shouldn't be the case with Zaza. He's coming off the bench, but is averaging 24 minutes over his last five games, along with 10 points and eight boards. He's not blocking many shots or stealing the ball, but if you need a serviceable center in a deep league, he fits the bill right now.

UPDATE: On Friday the Pierce County Prosecutor's Official formally charged 46-year-old Elwood Anthon Anderson with four counts of possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. You can find the full press release from Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist after our initial post below.
*Original Post*
According to Washington State Patrol Lieutenant Ron Mead, a Gig Harbor man accused of being the state's most prolific downloader of child pornography was arrested this morning. The arrest was the culmination of an investigation that started back in May after the State Patrol's Missing and Exploited Children's Task Force got a tip from the Seattle Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. According to Stacia Glenn of The News Tribune in Tacoma, a search warrant served July 13 uncovered over 9,000 images of child porn on several computers and digital media devices that were seized by police.
However, according to Mead, it's not the 9,000 images that make the man the most prolific downloader of child porn in Washington. Mead explains to Seattle Weekly that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Virginia tracks all known images of child porn on the web - each with an individual "fingerprint" - and through this technology investigators have concluded that the man arrested this morning had downloaded more pornographic images depicting children than anyone else in the state.
"Based on the [image's fingerprint] we have tools that track the exchange of them," says Mead. "Basically, it keeps track of how many of these images are coming and going from specific IP addresses."
According to Mead, the State Patrol - via its Missing and Exploited Children's Task Force - is one of the few agencies in the state capable of handling such an investigation. "These types of investigations require expertise that not a lot of agencies have," he says, calling child porn a "huge problem" in our state.
While Mead admits that through online fingerprinting and the work of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children law enforcement authorities have access to information on any number of individual child porn downloads, the State Patrol only has the resources to "target the most prolific offenders."
And, according to Mead, the man arrested this morning in Gig Harbor certainly qualifies. He says that forensic testing on the man's various computers and devices continues, and that the 9,000 images already found likely represents only a "snapshot" of the man's activities.
"In his line of work he deals with computers extensively," says Mead of the Gig Harbor man, noting that authorities believe the suspect went to "extensive" lengths to cover up his crimes.
The man was booked into Pierce County Jail after his arrest. According to the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office charges are expected as early as tomorrow. Seattle Weekly is not naming the man as he has yet to be charged.
UPDATE: Here's the press release from the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office announcing charges against Elwood Anthon Anderson:
TACOMA, WA – Today Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Elwood Anthon Anderson, 46, with four counts of Possession of Depictions of Minors Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct, for thousands of images of child pornography he viewed on his computer.
"Viewing child pornography re-victimizes the victims," said Prosecutor Mark Lindquist.
On December 21, 2012, Seattle Police began an investigation into the excessive use of a known child pornography file sharing site by one specific IP address. During the course of the investigation, the IP address was traced to the defendant's Gig Harbor residence.
In May 2013, the Washington State Patrol sent 570 images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for analysis. Many of the images contained previously identified victims, and all were classified as child pornography. The images depict young children in various states of undress, and some are engaged in sexual activity with adults.
On July 11, 2013, a search warrant was executed at the Anderson residence. Among the items seized were two computers and an external hard drive. Initially, detectives could not locate any child pornography on the computer, but a forensic analysis of the defendant's external hard drive revealed thousands of images of child pornography and more than 200 videos had been accessed using a "virtual" computer, which is software that allows images to be viewed without creating a record. According to a witness, the defendant indicated that he was not worried that law enforcement would find sexually explicit images on his computer because of his high level of technical knowledge and the methods he used to view the images, including "ghost drives."
Anderson is married and is a father of four daughters. All family members living in the home said they had no knowledge the defendant was viewing child pornography. He told a neighbor, "In a way I'm glad I got caught ... I'm glad it's out there so I don't have to hide it anymore."
Anderson is scheduled to be arraigned today at 1:30pm in Courtroom 270 of the County-City Building in Tacoma. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Jim Fennell: Memorial hoop is on a crusadeBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 06. 2013 1:01AM
WADE GOP is no longer 13 and shy.
He still has a sweet smile and a soft voice, and his love for basketball remains strong, but he is not afraid to speak his mind and does not seem as innocent as when we first met him three years ago.
Gop is now 16 and a sophomore at Memorial High School. He is part of the basketball team there, a team looking like it could be as good as any in the state.
We first met Gop at the Bishop O'Neil Youth Center on South Elm Street almost three years ago. We had heard about the basketball program Sudi Lett and David Cooper were building there and went to check it out. We discovered it was a basketball program that really wasn't about basketball.
Lett and Cooper said they were trying to use basketball as a way to keep kids off the street. Kids bought in, flocking to the Bishop to be part of the program. A lot of those kids were African refugees like Gop, who is from the Sudan.
Cooper is not as involved with the program as much since he is busy these days in Canada as coach of the Saint John Millrats of the National Basketball League of Canada, but Lett is still around, and the Bishop Elite program is as strong as ever. Three years ago, the Bishop had four teams that traveled the AAU circuit; now there are 10.
Kids from around the state are part of the program, but it is still the city kids who serve as its lifeblood. The maturation of the program is evident in the kids you now see playing in high school. Some, like Shomari Morgan, who played at Memorial and is now at Plymouth State University, have gone on to college.
Almost the entire Memorial team has gone through the Bishop Elite program. Memorial coach Jack Quirk said he is not so sure that is a good thing.
It's not so much a statement about the Bishop Elite program as it is about AAU basketball in general. Kids play a lot of games in the spring and summer, sometimes two or three games in a day. Games are fast and rough, and the style doesn't translate well to the high school game.
Quirk, in his first year back with the boys' team, said it has taken time to get the kids to buy into his system, especially on the defensive end, but it's been working. Before Friday's loss at Dover, the Crusaders were 3-0 in Division I and won another three games to capture their first title at the Queen City Invitational Basketball Tournament since 1977.
As Quirk said, it's easier to get kids to buy in when you're winning.
But this is where it gets tricky.
If it was just about winning a state title or proving that you're the best team in the city, the Crusaders would be no different from many teams. But they are different.
Nine players on the roster are black, and that, Quirk said, makes them stand out. Memorial had as many black players as the other seven teams combined at the QCIBT.
Their names - Kante, Ngalakulondi, Iradukunda, Akat - make them stand out as much as the color of their skin. Quirk said racism is an issue.
Quirk did a stint as basketball coach at Hesser College and said his team was stocked with inner-city kids, many of them black. However, the other junior college teams Hesser played had a similar makeup, so it wasn't that big of a deal. He said he wasn't prepared for the negative reception Memorial gets on the road.
"We're the bad guys," Quirk said. "I tell them beforehand to expect it, and you have to deal with it. It's tough because they're very proud. They're a tight-knit group, and if one is insulted, they're all insulted."
The coach heard the "N-word" used by one person in the crowd during a scrimmage. He questioned game officials about their bias during at least one game. He reads into the words of others as code. Other teams - whiter teams - are described as "heady" and "gritty"; his team is described as "athletic," and is not credited for being tough or smart.
The kids know their reputation, and they want to win a state championship to prove their doubters wrong.
"Not that many people think we can do it," Gop said. "A lot of people think we are bad kids: we can't get good grades; we can't focus; we're not going to respect Quirk.
"We all feel like we have something to prove to the city because we are not like that."
These kids are different. Many have come here from refugee camps, torn away from their families. Oumaru Kante hopes to one day see his father, who lives in the Ivory Coast. Zoubel Iradukunda lives with his aunt and doesn't know where all his family is. Gop has no idea where his father is.
But, in many ways, these kids are no different from other kids who have a passion for something. For them, it's basketball. Most believe they will play in college even though many of them will not. Hopefully they also are acting on the advice of the people trying to prepare them to rely on something other than basketball.
Shomari Morgan did.
He began going to the Bishop after meeting Cooper and finding out both of their families came from Jamaica. He went to PSU to play basketball last year but didn't go out for the team at the start of this season because there was a marketing project he wanted to focus on. He rejoined the team this semester after finding the right balance between academics and athletics.
Iradukunda hopes to get a college scholarship to play basketball but plans to go to college even if he doesn't. Gop says his grade-point average is close to 3.0 and hopes to get an academic scholarship to college.
"I see kids getting arrested for having drugs. I've never done drugs. I don't do any of that stuff," Gop said. "People think we're doing bad things because our friends around my neighborhood are getting arrested. They expect me to get arrested, too. We just have to prove ourselves that we're not like other kids. We know better. From the Bishop, we were taught right."
Wade Gop doesn't seem as innocent as he was when we met him three years, but we think he may be a bit wiser.

Schedule strength won't haunt the Buffs on Selection Sunday in March.
Colorado finally enjoyed a festive cupcake on Friday night with a 98-51 victory over Northern Arizona at the Coors Events Center.
But the computers still love the Buffs. On Saturday, CU's strength of schedule was ranked No. 7 and its RPI was No. 4 at realtimerpi.com.
Tad Boyle challenged his talented young team by scheduling half of CU's 12 non-conference games outside of Boulder.
"I knew it was tough before we started. Scheduling is not an exact science and sometimes you have to get lucky," Boyle said. "I really believed at the start of the season that I over-scheduled. Now I'm glad I did because we have been successful for the most part."
The three teams the Buffs (9-2) defeated en route to the Charleston Classic championship -- Dayton, Baylor and Murray State -- are a combined 26-5 not counting the losses to CU.
Boyle's team has only lost on the road at Wyoming and No. 9 Kansas. The Cowboys are 12-0, and the Jayhawks improved to 10-1 on Saturday with a 74-66 win at No. 7 Ohio State.
CU picked up a road win at Fresno State on Dec. 12 and was able to finally empty the bench against Northern Arizona before a holiday break.
Xavier Johnson scored 17 points on 6-for-7 shooting to lead the reserves. Jeremy Adams added eight points in 16 minutes.
C-Unit favorites Ben Mills (two points, career-high five rebounds) and Beau Gamble (three points, one assist) even got into the act during the lopsided win over the Lumberjacks.
"We're each others' biggest supporters," said starting point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who was cheering on backups and members of the scout team for the bulk of the second half. "Most of the team, you see them supporting us, and it's just a great opportunity when we get to support them."
The Buffs will try to do some more fine tuning against Hartford on Dec. 29 at the Coors Events Center before opening up Pac-12 play at No. 4 Arizona on Jan. 3.
Two years ago, CU lost November games at Georgia, San Francisco and Harvard before bullying weak opponents like The Citadel, Longwood, Maryland Eastern Shore and Western New Mexico in December.
The non-conference schedule came back to bite Cory Higgins, Alec Burks, Levi Knutson and Marcus Relphorde when they were snubbed by the NCAA Tournament selection committee and finished their collegiate careers in the NIT.
Last year, CU started the season 5-4 before getting some momentum with wins over Cal State Bakersfield, Texas Southern and New Orleans before opening up Pac-12 play with home wins over Utah, Washington and Washington State.
In the end, Boyle's team had to win the Pac-12 Tournament to get into the Big Dance. That shouldn't be the case this March if the Buffs finish in the upper half of the Pac-12 standings.
"I think we're excited and everybody is anxious to get Pac-12 play started," Dinwiddie said. "That's a big reason why a lot of us are here because of the move to the Pac-12."

After 25 years of celebrating the people, history, and spirit of our area, "The Heartland Series" fell victim to the economic times and ceased production.
After 25 years of celebrating the people, history, and spirit of our area, "The Heartland Series" fell victim to the economic times and ceased production. While WBIR-TV has continued to rerun the show, Bill Landry, Heartland's genial host, has written a wonderful book highlighting some of the stories chronicled and the many people who brought them to life. "Appalachian Tales & Heartland Adventures" (976.800) takes us behind the scenes of the "most successful local TV show in the region's history."
Young Hattie and August Shepherd leave the confines of Georgia in 1925 for Philadelphia to make a new life for themselves as they await the birth of their twins. But when the babies are seven months old, they come down with pneumonia and die taking with them Hattie's joy in life and belief in love. The nine children who follow will only see Hattie as a stern woman they call the General — and their lives will suffer for it. In her debut novel, and Oprah Winfrey book club pick, Ayana Mathis tells the stirring story of "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie."
The League of Women Voters recently enjoyed a talk by Jay Erskine Leutze, a non-practicing attorney from North Carolina who led the fight against a mining company that wanted to, in essence, destroy a mountain near the Appalachian Trail. It began in 1999 with a phone call from 14-year-old Ashley Cox and her Aunt Ollie asking him to help them stop the Clark Stone Company from turning Belview Mountain, their home, into a gravel mine. Leutze fills in the exciting details in "Stand Up That Mountain: the Battle to Save One Small Community in the Wilderness along the Appalachian Trail" (338.272).
As we wait for Kinsey Milhone's next alphabetically titled mystery, author Sue Grafton has prepared a rare treat. "Kinsey & Me: Stories" (M) brings us nine finely crafted short stories featuring the Santa Teresa detective, plus 13 pieces about a girl named Kit Blue. Grafton wrote these autobiographical bits during the years following her alcoholic mother's death but before Kinsey had taken shape in her mind, and she used these stories to help her cope with and understand her family's dysfunction and the effect it had on her life.
Mystery fans who bid a sad farewell to Ian Rankin's popular John Rebus in 2009's "Exit Music" will be delighted to know that he is back. Rebus is now a civilian hired on to review cold cases for the Serious Crime Review Unit at the Lothian and Borders Police station — he even comes under the careful scrutiny of Malcolm Fox, another of Rankin's series characters. "Standing in Another Man's Grave" (M) involves a 10-year-old case concerning a missing girl. When the girl's mother points out the similarities between her daughter's disappearance and that of two other girls in the same area, Rebus decides to take a closer look.
In 1962, Drs. James D. Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery of the structure of DNA. Six years later, Watson wrote his own account of their monumental work in "The Double Helix," which met with great success despite Crick's objections. Two of Watson's colleagues at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Alexander Gann and Jan Witkowski, have now expanded his original book to include the stories of Crick, Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, and the other researchers involved in the ground-breaking endeavor in "The Annotated and Illustrated Double Helix" (572.860).
Other new titles:
Fiction — "A Question of Identity: a Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler Mystery" (M), by Susan Hill;

Educate Congress: A Women's and Reproductive Health Remedy for Ill-Informed Reps
We have seen plenty of evidence that members of Congress don't actually know enough to make the decisions they make about women's bodies. Twice in the last two months, elected officials have made statements about women's bodies so wrong that a professional ob/gyn organization felt compelled to publicly refute them.
Our Bodies Ourselves is raising funds to send every member of Congress a copy of the 2011 "Our Bodies, Ourselves" book. The Library of Congress selected the original 1971 edition as one of 88 books included in the 2012 Books that Shaped America exhibition. Let's get the new edition to actual members of Congress via the Educate Congress campaign!
As of this morning, we have about 15% of our modest goal of $25,000 raised, and 56 days left to raise the rest. If you can help, please contribute via the campaign set up on indiegogo. There are some terrific donor appreciation items, too, like "Legitimate Road Trip," a mixed media comic commemorating the Missouri Sex Ed Road Trip (Aug. 23-24) to deliver "Our Bodies, Ourselves" and other educational books & comics to the offices of Rep. Todd Akin and Sen. Claire McCaskill.

If you can understand the title of this blog then you are both a true fan of this blog and also really good at acronymic behaviour. Two things, acronymic didn't get a red swiggly line (swiggly did) so turns out that's a fucking word and also I spelled behaviour all British because the climate here in PDX is a lot more Englandy (also got a swiggly line).
First, an update. I am having a blast here in PDX, both at work and exploring and enjoying rain and seasons and what I must admit is a serious whiskey and pig meat town. It's hard to have a bad time. After 6 months of rain, perhaps I change my tune, but I'm the bearfighter. Not the fucking rain avoider.
So, I watched the Oregon game from a penthouse at the Governor in downtown PDX, just into SW. There was a balcony and at times I thought about jumping. But I didn't.
Beyond the fact my primary reaction due to Oregon's helmets was to want to eat a bagel (didn't they look like an animated GIF of a knife through cream cheese?), I had to give it to them. That offense did what it wanted. Their wide outs were blocking like pulling linemen and in the end, this game was super arrogant. There were over a billion yards of combined offense and one super BS call on our onside kick. Not sure it would have mattered. It did to the casinos who called the booth and called it off.
There's not much to dwell on. Again, too many turnovers. Our offense basically took the notion that Oregon played defense at an elite level and took a dump on its face. We played awful D. They played adjacent to awful D. I'm not a schadenfreude kind of guy, but it was pretty obvious Oregon sucks on D, almost as much as we did.
I'm going to leave it alone, basking in the satisfaction that when I go drinking during our game against Notre Dame, all of Oregon will be routing for us and there's not a damn thing they can do about it. Of course I put my Pete Carroll signed USC helmet on my desk. Yes I am still super handsome. Caviar on the side. I said ON THE SIDE. What the fuck, Pac Northwest? In a year it'll be the Zack Northwest.
It's not the year we expected, but that's not always so bad. I've had nights out on the town that ended up different than I expected and they are some of my favorite stories. Call me, we'll take the convo offline.
To weigh in quickly, the acts of our student manager who deflated the balls in the first half to provide an advantage for our team, that was some bullshit and as much as I am for Trojans in the workforce, homie needed to get fired. That said, the argument that somehow Oregon pulled away because we used regular balls in the second half is BS. Oregon pulled away because our defense could not stop them at all at any point and frankly, that isn't all on our players.
It's an ugly situation, I'm leaving it at that.
Somehow, if we win out, the Pac 12 Championship still looks good. I'd love another shot at Oregon just to mess shit up, fuck around, maybe go to a phantom Rose Bowl. Remember, it's always sunny on Trousdale. Not so much in PDX. Leave me alone. I look rad in rain gear. Follow me on instagram @lostangelesblog. I'll prove it.
The truth is, we got ASU this weekend and basically, they were part of what made our season last year less than perfect. They are experimenting with all kinds of uniforms, suffering from a really hot student body and we're like a big fucking bear with big fucking claws and we're trying to kill the rabbit.
Our next two games are really it. I can't ignore the amount of calls for Kiffin to be fired, it's a totally valid thought, but so is the thought about his ability to recruit during sanctions, which are still not over. For me, I want a new O coordinator to take that responsibility and the defense needs to be addressed.
But we still have these 2 Pac 12 games and a chance to get to the title game. I want to stay concise today, I want to avoid a long ASU preview. You guys have heard all my Tempe trashing, the one-word night clubs, the Jersey Shore-ish club promotors and the distraction of what is a ridiculously hot student body. You guys have also heard that they are scoring something like 37 points a game and that they have a top 25 offense.
Every season has a breaking point and let's keep it real as the Loch Ness Monster. This is that game. If this game doesn't go well, the season becomes simple. It's just about beating our rivals. Don't get me wrong. Those two days are perfect Saturdays no matter what. It is a total pleasure to have teams you just simply need to beat no matter what, regardless of record. The thing is, we need this game to keep any aspirations alive and I hope we're up to it.
That said, as I've had to more than I want to, I am hear to remind you that being a member of Arrogant Nation has few rules. That isn't to say there are no rules. In fact, there are two.
- When you win, you celebrate your ass off.
- When you lose, you celebrate your ass off because you will probably win next weekend.
Any additional thinking beyond that is just raking your face over a cheese grater for decisions you won't be involved in. We are the fans and we can never be fair weather.
Fuck the Sun Devils. Fuck the negativity. Enjoy some fucking football for the Bearfighter.
As usual, their team will be distracted by the hotness of both student bodies just a little bit more than we will. Why this is is a complicated mathematical formula proving why our team is less distracted by hotness and it involves the fact Phoenix is one zone of hot people surrounded by desert whereas our team has to deal with hotness as far north as Santa Barbara and as far south as San Diego. We're more immune. It's worth a ten spot.
Covered in tomatoes given the emails I am getting. I'll be wearing a rain jacket.
Let's be real. With so many Kiffin critics right now, he's going to do the opposite of logic and try like 7 of these. And we'll love him for it.
While USC lost to Oregon, Kyle's mustache beat both teams, the crowd and the rush hour traffic.

Finger Lake is a Sierra gem beneath the towering walls of Middle Palisade and Norman Clyde Peak. The aptly named lake is flanked by granite cliffs and features a glacial turquoise color emanating glacial remnants above. The route to Finger Lake starts at the Big Pine Creek Trailhead and follows up the South Fork Big Pine Creek. The first part is a high desert with sage and even cactus. There are clumps of aspens near the stream that on this day were brilliantly yellow. At the headwall of the South Fork, the trail switchbacks beneath an imposing cliffs and at the top of the climb it is as if you enter a new world of peaks and alpine vegetation. A small valley is crossed with a junction for Willow Lake before more switchbacks resume up to gorgeous Brainerd Lake with its amphitheater-like setting. From Brainerd Lake, the way becomes a loosely defined use path to Finger Lake. At the beginning, follow near the north shore of Brainerd Lake before following cairns alongside a talus swatch to the upper path, eventually popping out at stunning Finger Lake. On this day, I ventured onto the cliffs to the south of Finger Lake with great panoramic views of the lake and Middle Palisade and Norman Clyde Peak. To attain these summits, cross Finger Lake at its outlet and head up granite slabs and talus to the base of the remnant glacial ice and rock. The standard route up Middle Palisade is a sustained class 3 scramble while Norman Clyde features some 4th class. Complete photo album here.

Ken Shamrock
How did you get involved in fighting to begin with? I was doing some pro-wrestling down in North Carolina back in 1989-1990. A friend of mine, Dean Malenko, brought me these tapes of Mixed Martial Arts in Japan. That was interesting stuff to me. Prior to that, I was a bouncer. I would get into fights and have to go to jail and pay a fine to get out. This offered me the opportunity to do the things that I was getting in trouble for. So, I went to Tampa, Florida and tried out. Three months later, I went to Japan and won my first fight. I didn't have a lot of experience, but I'd always been a fighter. After that, everything just kinda lined up for me."
You had a tough life growing up. Tell us about that. At 10 years old, I had gotten into a lot of trouble. I originally came from a predominantly black neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia. My brothers and I were the only white kids in school. I got in a lot of fights. Then, I moved to Napa Valley (California) and I had a southern accent, so I didn't fit in with the white kids there and I got in more fights. At 14, I ended up in the Shamrock Boys Home. After that, I started to understand how to take my anger and put it into something positive like football, baseball, basketball, wrestling. I learned about doing things by the rules. If you lose your temper and do something wrong and get penalized for it, the whole team pays for it. He [Bob Shamrock] showed me the same thing happens in life. If I go out there and steal a car, I'm not the only one that suffers. My family suffers, my brothers suffer. So, I kinda learned discipline through sports. When I was younger, I used to fight a lot. As I grew older though, I got more disciplined. There's a place for fighting. You don't do it on the street. People get hurt. The biggest thing I learned is that your job stays in the ring and your life stays in life. There are two different characters. You don't mix those two together."
The Lion's Den started when Ken was fighting for the Pancrase organization in Japan. The organization wanted him to train fighters in the US so they could bring in more fighters from the states. In trying to come up with a name for it, he recalled a documentary he saw about lions. It showed how a group of lions hunt and worked together. He felt his group of fighters should work the same way and be like a family, so he chose to name his gym the Lion's Den. "And I'm still the King Lion," says Shamrock.

pTet-tTS expresses the tetracycline/doxycycline-controlled transcription silencer (tTS), which is a fusion of the Tet Repressor Protein (TetR) with a KRAB silencing domain. tTS can be used to significantly lower the basal expression from 1st generation Tet-On Inducible Expression Systems. In the absence of doxycycline, tTS binds to the tet-operator sequences within TRE promoters, silencing gene expression. Upon addition of doxycycline, tTS undergoes a conformational changes that causes its release from the promoter, to be replaced by the Tet-On transactivator.

DURHAM, N.C. - Redshirt sophomore Immanuel Kerr-Brown posted a victory at 157 pounds as the Duke wrestling team suffered a 38-3 loss to Maryland Saturday in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The loss snapped a five-match win streak for the Blue Devils, who fall to 7-6 on the season and 0-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference action.
Five of the 10 matches were decisions with Maryland getting one major decision, two technical falls, one pin and one forfeit in the other bouts.
The match started at heavyweight with Maryland's Dallas Brown edging Duke junior Brian Self 5-2. The Terrapins added four more wins to go up 23-0 heading into Kerr-Brown's match at 157.
Kerr-Brown, coming off of a big win at Gardner-Webb, used a strong third period to defeat Maryland's Brady Massaro 8-2 for Duke's lone victory. Kerr-Brown scored the first points of the match with a takedown and broke a 2-2 tie late in the second period with his second takedown with just one second left on the clock. The third period was all Kerr-Brown, who outscored Massaro 4-0 to run away with the win.
Marcus Cain nearly came away with a victory after building a 7-1 lead on Maryland 149-pounder Louis Mascola, but misstepped early in the third period resulting in a pin. Cain recorded five points in the final 31 seconds of the second period and elected a neutral start in the third, but Mascola took him to his back with 1:29 remaining and pinned him seconds later.
Randy Roden battled back to come within two points of defeating Maryland's Domenic DeRobertis at 165, but came up just short to fall 7-6. Roden was in a 7-3 hole late in the second period, but used a standing head-and-arm takedown with nine seconds left to close the gap to 7-5. He added an escape five seconds into the third period, but went scoreless the rest of the way.
At 174, Trey Adamson held his own with sixth-ranked Josh Asper, falling 4-2 to the two-time All-America. Adamson gave up an early takedown but logged two escapes to close the deficit to 3-2 before one riding time point bumped the final score to 4-2.
Up next for Duke is a home bout against Tobacco Road rival North Carolina on Tuesday, Feb. 12. The match will start at 7 p.m.
Maryland 38, Duke 3

Two weeks ago we got the new motor mostly installed in the 1923 Runabout. I say mostly because while the rear ears were bolted into place and looked good, the front stubbornly refused to settle in. I thought at the time that the rear mounts just needed to be loosened and the motor should be able to be horsed into place.
Today I removed the two side bolts and took out the wood blocks and loosed up but did not remove the two nuts & bolts holding the motor to the top frame rail. With the car in high gear I rocked it back and forth hoping it would drop into place. Nothing doing. Then I grabbed the crank handle and pulled this way and that. That didn't work either. Then I got out an old scissors car jack and jacked the rear of the motor forward. Here is a picture of that:
This brought the motor forward just enough so it should have dropped in but it didn't drop. The nose was still too far to port so the same jack was used to persuade the nose of the motor to move starboard. OK, now it looks dead nuts perfect but still will not drop into place. Here are some pictures:
I stood on the nose & jumped up & down. No joy. I tried a big rubber mallet, no soap either.
Mebbee the tight frame had grabbed it too hard and some of the weight needed to be taken off of the frame rails. I used a trolly jack under the drain plug and lifted the motor slightly. Nothing doing, it is still stubbornly refusing to drop into place!
Well, I'm about out of ideas. What would keep the nose from slipping into place? I replaced the front spring/motor mount unit with a different but I had thought identical unit. The new one LOOKs to be just the same as the old one but it is in better shape. Could it be that not all motor mounts are the same?
Any ideas? Right now I'm stalled on this project until this motor can be mounted in its saddle.
Vintage Paul, head scratchin agin . . .
Maybe try putting the cap and the 2 bolts in place and slowly draw it down? If it goes down into place loosen the bolts and see if it pops back up in case something is binding somewhere. Good luck, Jim
Perhaps try pushing down on the ball on the end of the radius rod, causing the front cross member to pivot towards the rear. MHO Wes
Tough one...
Either the engine pan is too short or the chassis is too long.
You might make a few measurements on a friends T and see which it might be.
I rather think the pan is short, just a guess. It may have been in an accident and shortened, don't ask how I know. Tomorrow I will measure a pan and get back with you.
Try turning the mount around. Looks like it's on backwards.
Loosen the spring clamp nuts, so that the mount is free to rock slightly on the front crossmember. It might help you get it lined up. You can re tightnen them after it drops.
Was the pan checked for flat and true ??
Where is the frame currently being supported?
Could it have sagged - allowing to the front cross member to twist?
It sure looks like there's a piece of wood in there! Perhaps not, and it was just something you did to make the pictures more descriptive, but what is it?
I always put the front mount in place first. Then do up the U-joint as the bolts there will easily draw the U-joint into place. Then do up the side arms as I can use a taper punch to line up the holes if I need to and it necessary use the punch through the frame side holes in order to get the bolts started in the top frame flange holes.
Was the pan straightened on a KR WILSON Pan Jig? Was the frame checked for straightness as well?
Look at the front of the motor mount, right at the bottom where the bolt goes down there should be a cast boss or round thing in both sides. One side should have a hole drilled in it that's threaded to hold the licence plate bracket. If it's on the back side it's on backwords,turn it around and try again.
Like Bob Rob said. Hope this helps. I know the frustration.
Was the pan on this engine in this same frame before repairs were made? If not pull the engine and try another pan for a trial fit. Someone may have brazed a replacement snout on the pan and got it wrong.
It looks to me like the mount on the pan has been damaged and then worked on, Has it been built up with weld and then ground down? possibly too large around.
I just re-read your post and I'm pretty sure you're saying that you changed out the front mount. Same pan, same engine, same frame? Different front mount? Doh as Homer would say.
I am with Fred,I would say there is frame sag.
Could be the mount is backwards but it would still set down in there,or least mine did.I had to take it back up to switch it around.
Say, you don't have the wishbone hooked up do you? Any body want to guess, besides that, what will hold an engine up? Sagged frame? Even if I believed that what's stopping the engine from dropping down? In the pics it's sitting perfectly in the bearing mount but won't drop. Even if he did swap the mount it's hanging in mid air. What's it hitting?
Remove the two top frame rail to pan ears bolts, the ones you posted first that are still locked down tight to the frame. That will let the engine lift up some.
Then fit the pan nose (bearing) into the spring mount, add grease first to the pan bearing and mount, that is a moving (slight) part and needs to have a smear of grease.
Fit the front end first. Tight. The go back to the rear pan ears and re-fit there. Tighten the frame to pan bolts, that should help. Seems to me the frame has a slight bow, from the rails to the front cross member, but re-fitting the engine this way should fix the slight bow and aligning the front bearing first is the best way now.
Had a bit of the same problem installing my new-rebuilt engine in my Speedster frame. I installed all bolts, but didn't tighten down including the front spring hanger, so everything could move just a little. Then lowered the engine on the crane a little bit at a time giving it a little shake each time and checking everything was lining up. Once everything was in place I went back a tightened everything. A little tap here and there as she came down seemed to work pretty well.
Front crossmember out of whack or c.c. arms not straight or in alignment ! Pan should checked on jig.
Only the '26-'27 style of front c.c. bearing & spring clip had the screw hole for the front radiator apron.
Thanks for the discussion on this frustrating issue. I'm really stuck right now and the whole project has come to a grinding halt.
In answer to some of the questions:
This pan was one of the few salvageable parts from my old engine. It came out of this car, was straightened by Glen Chaffin on his rig. I do not know the maker of that tool.
I do not know that this frame is true and straight. Indeed, the very tightness between the rails makes me suspicious. The car drove fine, did not dogtrack and seemed to be in rig.
The front mount that the car came with had rough threads and very long threaded portions that I was told indicated it was made for a TT. I swapped it out for another one that had better threads but the same long "fixings." It was a later part and had the boss to mount the large under radiator trim piece for the high steel cars. I was told that it could be installed backwards so that it looked right for a low steel car. That is what I did, it IS in backwards. I wish I had trial fitted the new mount with the pan before installation. It never occured to me there could be an issue.
How much trouble is it to put the old mount back in? Can it be done without pulled the motor back out, a job I have no wish to repeat unless it is absolutely necessary?
Here is an overall view of the situation:
Vintage Paul, still head scatchin . . .
Paul, I would try a bit of grinding on the "new" mount with a Dremel or something similar. It looks to me that the mount is just a bit too tight for your crank case snout. Dave
All good ideas... My suggestion at this point is to remove the bolts from the cc ears and set the engine down so the nose locates in the front support. This will then allow you to ream the holes if needed to get the bolts back in at the cc ears.
Good Luck and don't give up!
Thanks again for the ideas. Before I try grinding I'll take Gene's lead and REMOVE completely the top bolts from the CC ears. That will give as much mobility as I'm ever going to see. If it doesn't drop the snout into the saddle then it might be time for something else.
Vintage Paul, with a plan (and hope) restored, thanks guys!
I didn't have time to read all the posts, but I only know of 3 places that would cause that.
1. The pan has to be right. Also, I never put in any arm bolts until every thing is set.
2. What I think some body has brought up, is the wish bone. When you unhook, the front spring will want to push back to the engine, or there is pressure on the front cross member to the rear to let it twist.
3. Is the rear spring, will do the same thing, and it can pull the rear end back as much a 1/2 inch.
The only thing that has to be perfect is when the Motor is setting in the right place, you do NOT want to pry the pan arm bolt holes to put in the bolts, or there go's all your alignment.
From the second picture, it looks as though the front of the pan where the bearing fits into the socket is bent to one side. The front edge is loose on the driver's side and the back side too close on that same side while the passenger side is loose on the back side and too close on the passenger side. Loose in the direction that if you were to pull the crank toward your right it might fit in. Maybe you can remove the crank and install a longer straight bar or pipe and lever it toward your right as facing the front of the car. This would be done with all the bolts out at the rear mounts. it's also possible that the rear mounts could be bent forward, which could cause the front of the engine to be farther back than normal.
Of course the proper way would have been to align your crankcase on a K.R.Wilson or comparable jig to get everything straight including all 3 mounts.
The Long Beach club or the Orange County club both have many members and should have someone who would have such a jig. If your engine is a 23, you really need to have a properly aligned crankcase or risk breaking the crankshaft in the engine. If you are using a 26-27 with the hogshead bolted to the back of the block and your 4th main moves easily (as has been posted many times previously) you might get by. I know it's a disappointment to have to pull the engine and crankcase to align it, but in the long haul it could save you money and heartaches in the future.
Loosen the front motor mount so it can move side to side on the frame cross member. Then fit the engine in the frame lining up the pan ears and wishbone. Now move the front motor mount so the nose of the pan falls into place.
I had this issue. I loosened the nuts on the rear spring hangers and then it slid right in. I guess the spring was holding frame from moving back the tiny little bit it needed. Maybe I am all wet but that was the issue for me. After the nose dropped in and retightened them and then put the bolts in the pan arms.
Thanks guys, that gives me a couple of more things to try. I don't know If I'll get a chance to work on the T until Saturday but I will report my progress. I hope that this time things will go smoothly and I can get on to putting the car back together.
Vintage Paul
Have you checked to be certain that the pan is not sitting on the little cast on radiator splash shield tab? I seem to recall trying to use one backwards one time on a speedster because I didn't want the tab to show and ended up cutting it off because it was the only one I had at the time. I noticed you said it is a late one and is on backwards? It is almost impossible to see it back in that tight little corner.
I see that there are wheels on the car.
If it is a twist problem - You might try attaching a rope between the front axle and the garage wall then pushing the car backwards a bit to twist the motor mount enough so the motor drops into place.
I also like Eric's idea about loosening the motor mount and letting it twist a bit.
I am assuming that the clearance on the back side equals the interference on the front. Otherwise your trying to put 10 pounds into a 9 pound bag.
I measured a pan and it was 41 5/8 from the rear face to the back side of the front mount. However if you had the pan checked at Glen's, it is correct.
My suggestion is in line with the others, remove the front radius rod connection, remove the crankcase top bolts and the rear axle bolts. See how close it all is without any fasteners connected.
It seems unlikely that the front chassis cross section is bent forward, but I guess it is possible.
Thanks again guys! I was out of ideas but have a good course of action to work with now. First I'll remove completely the top bolts then block the radius rod down with a sheet of plywood. Then I'll check to make sure the dongle on the front motor mount (turned backwards) is not obstructing anything. Then we'll see if we can horse it into place. It surely ought to drop in then! If not mebbee we can loosen and move the back axle a bit.
Vintage Paul
Hey VP, Maybe your car was the one that got yanked out of the ditch with the 250 4X4 with a chain around that front member or was it the tie down winch on the trailer ? Hee hee
I am sure with everything unbuttoned you'll get it to drop in.
Why is it that you have all the Luck?
You must be ready for some good luck..To Ya
Gene - He washed the motor when he had it out and it shrunk.
Next time he'll put it on a stretcher when he lets it dry.
OK Newbie needing some info. This motor is not sitting in the chassis correctly but it seems from the posts the drive shaft is already bolted up to the forth main. ??Why?? Wouldn't you first set the motor up before finalizing the drive shaft?
What I would do:
Pull all the bolts at the frame rails.
Back off the forth main bolts leaving the nuts on the ends of the bolts.
Lower the wishbone!
Pull the motor forward into the front mount.
Line up the frame mounts and blocks leaving the bolts loose.
Tighten up the forth main and drive shaft.
Check alinement and tighten it all down.
Am I missing something?
In my expierence with putting together Model T's with differnet frames, engines, rearends and etc.
you have to remember that things dont line up "exactly".
I have found that bolting down the front mount FIRST then the pan ears SECOND works best for me. I use centering tools, (long punches) to align the pan ears. Then bolt together the rear main area LAST.
When its done this way it gives room to move or rock the car to get movement in the rear and front springs to get things bolted down.
Your only trying to get things to come together a 1/2 inch or so doing it this way allows you to bring things together.
I never have put one together when bolting down the rear main area first.
Gene - This car was really made from a pile of junk. When we tore into the upholstery, we found all the wood structure missing and the seat & backrest made up of scraps of plywood, odd cuts of foam and the bucket edged with pieces cut from old truck tires. The back of the bucket itself was full of shotgun pellets! Everything I had looked at has been worn, damaged or wrong. Now things are bound to go better as it has so many new and rebuilt parts. It just HAS to go easier - doesn't it?
Both Johns - My Dad used to have a little printed sign on the wall that said something like "Too soon oldt, too late schmart." If I had it to do over again, I would take it in the order you suggest. To go even further, next time I'll remove the body. That scares me too as I fear to find out the horrors that almost certainly lurk beneath the skin.
Vintage Paul
Why not try loosening the four driveshaft bolts, and the front radius rod, and then use punches as mentioned above. Be sure to have the four crankcase arm bolts out too. Looks to me like you have your sequences messed up.
Ford's prescribed method:
1. Mount engine in frame
2. Enter universal into drive plate
a. enter the ball cap screws but don't
tighten them yet.
3. Install crank case arm blocks and bolts
a. enter the top bolts for the crankcase
arms run them down, then insert the arm
blocks and bolts from the side. Don't
apply force to these.
4. Connect axle to transmission.
a. enter top ball cap bolts and nuts.
b. tighten lower cap screws and wire the
heads together.
5. Connect mag terminal
6. connect exhaust pipe.
7. connect front radius rod (wishbone) to
8. install crank case front bearing cap. Any
play and file the cap just like you
would a rod cap.
9. Assemble engine pans (if they exist)
Stareing at it and didn't see it. The jack threw me. What's holding it up? The connected drive shaft torque tube. That's what.
This might sound a little too easy, I can't tell by the photograph, is your brake handle all the way forward? It could be that the cam is putting enough pressure to not allow the engine to drop into place. Just a thought.
That lever might have been forward. I know it is now because I was using top gear to rock the motor back & forth hoping it would drop into place. It never occurred to me that the lever could be an issue . . .
I can fix that and have a go at the other things mentioned here Saturday morning. If you hear a big loud "whoopee!" you'll know the motor is home again.
Vintage Paul
I think you need patience, persistence and perhaps a touch with a file or grinder. This is not a major problem, just a bump in the road.
Do some cleaning with the file. The snout looks kinda beat up anyway. That should be a clean shiny fit as Ford considered that as one of the grounding points. Id take the clamp off the frame and try it on the pan and go from there. I also wouldnt be affraid to help line up the crossmember with a 36 inch pipe wrench. Looks like yer only off 1/16". That much rust can accumulate between the frame joints. Its not like you are trying to align a precision gear box. Persuade it in to place. What would farmer Fred have done? troop
Please check to see if you brace that mount on backwards as others have told you! I did not read everything written here so if I'm out of turn please excuse. We did one like this and were going crazy and all it was it was hitting the bolt hole cast in on the front side which we had backwards. Turned it around and urgency was over with. It is easily removed for earlier low radiator car,
One of my local T buddies came by the shop here for a visit (with the steering gearbox casing I urgently wanted - thanks Alex!) and we went out to inspect the T. While looking it over I had a look at the silly dongle that used to hold the under radiator apron in place. Sure enough, the nose of the pan was hard up against it! I guess I better refinish the old one and use it even though the threads were less than perfect. Thanks for the steer guys, I would not have thought to look there without it!
Vintage Paul
Three cheers each for Wayne and Joseph!
Just grind off the nub that is holding it up, no one will ever know. Problem fixed.
PS I've been there and dun that many times.

Obamacare spin: The product is not good
October 22. 2013 8:15PM
President Obama on Monday held a news conference supposedly to address the disaster that was the Oct. 1 rollout of Obamacare. Instead, he delivered a sad little infomercial for his signature boondoggle, pretending that it was working beautifully except for a small technical problem that Americans needn't worry about. It was a low point for his presidency.
"The product is good," he said. He added, "The point is the essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine."
Neither of those statements is true, and if Obama were a private pitchman using those phrases to sell Obamacare he might come under government scrutiny.
"The product" includes the online exchanges, which don't work. They are not incidental; they are the only way for uninsured Americans to buy health insurance under the law. The insurance can't be "working just fine" if people can't access it. Nor can it be "working just fine" if it costs more, is not what the insurance people want or need, and causes employers to drop coverage either because it does not meet the Obamacare insurance mandates or because paying the Obamacare fines is cheaper than covering employees.
Nothing about this law is "working just fine." Nor is the President's pathetic spin, which fewer Americans believe every day.

Welcome to Family Tree Maker, Version 2009
Family Tree Maker Version 2009 is here. I have just installed the program and plan on educating myself in its use, and plan on sharing some of my learnings on this blog. The opening or Plan screen is below. There is a lot of information on this screen. I will try to indicate what information is here that may be important to others.
This screen is the opening screen of the current file that I have opened. The Home Person, the Current Person is listed, along with the Date that the file was created, Last Saved, and Last Backed Up. Don't be confused by the Date the file was created, as it was created by Version 2008 and opened by Version 2009. This happened automatically upon installation of Version 2009, as expected.
What is obvious, is that a Back Up of this file be done soon. Once the file is backed up, that Back Up date will be updated.
There are some numbers on the screen to be pointed out, briefly, below:
1 – Is the list of files that have been opened, the Date when they were last opened, and the file this is currently opened. In this case, MasterFile is currently opened.
2 – Indicates the number of People or Individuals in the file, the number of Marriages, Generations, and Surnames included in the file, along with the Size of this File.
3 – A list of Tasks (or ToDo List) that has been entered in General or by Individual. This will be covered in more detail in another Blog Entry.
4 – The Web Dashboard indicates that I am logged into various online offerings at The Generations Network. There is a link to Log Off of these websites, if I so choose.
As the Plan Button on the Family Tree Maker Tool Bar has a different color, that is the screen that is currently opened. Other buttons will be high lighted in future Blog Entries.

Lucus Eques wrote:In Latin?
Well, no such thing is written (normally), but the Romans did associate a stressed long syllable, including a diphthong, with a circumflex accent, that is a rise and fall of pitch. Italian does something similar.
metrodorus wrote:Adler marks the circumflex in these cases.
metrodorus wrote:such errors are inevitable.
Lucus Eques wrote:the Romans did associate a stressed long syllable, including a diphthong, with a circumflex accent, that is a rise and fall of pitch.
adrianus wrote:Lucus Eques wrote:the Romans did associate a stressed long syllable, including a diphthong, with a circumflex accent, that is a rise and fall of pitch.
According to the grammarians, Lucus, the accented antepenultimate syllable of polysyllables takes the acute tone no matter what, even if long by nature, and not the circumflex.
Metrodorus wrote:Having not read the entire book yet in detail, I cant answer for that.
But, for example, in quaerit, caecum, haec, to name a few examples culled from the book, Adler places the circumflex on the second letter of the dipthong. This is the convention.
Sometimes in the textbook, a word has all the accents left out - and occasionally, the wrong accent is used. In such a long and complex book, such errors are inevitable...
...A circumflex can never fall on an antepenult, and never does, not in Adler's textbook, nor in any other Latin textbook. There is no juggling. I am at a loss as to what you are referring to in Adler's textbook. Can you quote examples?
Metrodorus wrote:If the penult is long, two of the mora fall on the same vowel unit, be it a long by nature vowel, or a dipthong. The presence of two mora on one vowel, when followed by a single mora on the ultimate, gives rise to what is called the circumflex.
Having a circumflex on an antepenult would give the Latin word four stresses, however, the accent can only move back three, so an antepenultimate circumflex is an impossibility.
To an extent, indeed, but I have copies of the Kiel volumes and they are just wonderful to swim in because of the skill and quality of so many observations from these early centuries. Stick with the primary sources because they open your eyes and ears.Lucus wrote:I wonder if all these Roman pitch accent writings weren't just overstating the obvious
Were you to look in the 16th and 17th centuries, you would find quite a few. Anyway, the thread tells the story.Metrodorus wrote:...Adler's methodology, explicitly marking the circumflexes and acutes. (I have not yet come across another such)
And what accents does he mark incorrectly?Metrodorus wrote:So far I have read through 400 pages of Adler more or less microscopically.
Adrian wrote:Adler ... the tone rule ... Metrodorus doesn't understand him in this regard
Metrodorus wrote:Adler marks some vowels of hidden quantity with the acute. For example, a vowel before 'ns' in the penultimate, even when followed by a short vowel, will get the acute in Adler. I am not sure if it should get the circumflex, but logically, as the vowel is actually long, although of hidden quantity, to my mind, it should. The syllable is, I assume, not regarded as long by position, but long by nature..... I am not actually sure of what the correct rule is in this circumstance. I have asked around, and yet remain uncertain. How would you treat such a long vowel as long by nature (although hidden) - would you give it the acute, or a circumflex?
metrodorus wrote:I would not regard Adler's accentuation as in error.
Adler was using German philologic sources for his lexicographical information. He says quite explicitly that for quantity he relies on George's Lateinisch-Deutches Hand-Worterbuch (Leipsic 1855). The acute would be correct if one regarded these syllables as long by position. Some grammarians do (did?) so.
This is how I treat them in my reading - as long by nature, but of hidden quantity.
metrodorus wrote:Regarding the vowel before ns, Bennet quotes an ancient source ( I can't recall from memory whom) saying that words such as consul take the circumflex.

Couple of questions that have come to mind and I thought the topic of how the shoebox works and what to buy to make mine work better was worth discussion.
1: What are the safety concerns with the hoses one might use with their shoebox?
Has anyone noticed pressure spikes with their compressor? What else besides heat and long term (as in the 20+ hours to fill a scuba tank) pressure that a hose might need to withstand should we be thinking about?
I am thinking of suggesting 1/4 inch threading instead of 1/8 threading for the output port on these. I would think good quality hose is more likely to come in 1/4 inch threading and so this would alleviate the need for a fitting. I am predicting that alot of you will blow out 1/8 threaded hose that you have around and then step up to 1/4 stuff. Or just buy the fitting and get 1/4 stuff to start. Maybe there is some great 1/8 stuff out there and I just need to look. Comments? Thoughts?
Anyway will be looking to see what Tuna comes out with. I for one have a stop to make at a hose shop on Tuesday.
2. Tom already suggested that someone is likely to start selling different cogs and belt drive instead of the chain drive. I have this on my list of things to try with my compressor but if someone gets there before me please post up. I wonder what the increase in efficiency would stand to be?
3. Fancy shut off switch anyone? Expensive yes but accurate safer and fancy. What more could you ask for? Don't say cheap or I will curse you with dropping your shoebox on your toe (it already is awesome for the money).
Other ideas of what to add and how you would improve your SB?

BOSTON—According to the American Cancer Society, about one in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. This year, nearly 40,000 women in the United States will die from the disease. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States, after lung cancer. Erica Mayer, MD, M.P.H., is a breast cancer expert at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She says there are at least five simple ways women can reduce their risk of getting the disease:
1. Get a mammogram
It's recommended women get a mammogram starting at age 40. "Mammography screening does not prevent or cure breast cancer, but it may detect the disease before symptoms occur," said Dr. Mayer.
2. Eat a healthy diet and keep your weight under control
The American Cancer Society recommends a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fiber. "High-fat diets can lead to being overweight or obese, which is a risk factor for breast cancer," said Dr. Mayer.
3. Exercise
There's growing evidence that physical activity reduces a woman's breast cancer risk. According to one small study, women who engaged in 10 to 19 hours of physical activity per week during their reproductive years or after menopause experienced a 30% reduced risk of developing breast cancer. "Women who exercise regularly appear to be less likely to develop breast cancer. Cancer survivors who are active may have less risk of cancer recurrence compared to those who are more sedentary," said Dr. Mayer.
4. Limit alcohol
Research has shown having too much alcohol can increase your risk of breast cancer. "The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. If you choose to drink alcohol — including beer, wine or liquor — limit yourself to no more than one half to one drink a day on average," adds Dr. Mayer.
5. Determine if you have family history of breast cancer
Twenty to 30 percent of people who develop breast cancer have a family history of the disease. About five to ten-percent of women carry a BRCA1 or 2 mutation, the so called "breast cancer genes." "For women with a family history of breast cancer, genetic testing can offer information about their personal and family risk of developing breast cancer. And if a woman is found to have a gene mutation, options are available to significantly reduce their risk of cancer," said Dr. Mayer.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a principal teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School and is among the leading cancer research and care centers in the United States. It is a founding member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, designated a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute. It provides adult cancer care with Brigham and Women's Hospital as Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center and it provides pediatric care with Boston Children's Hospital as Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) – A Nevada woman who survived six frigid days in the mountains said in an interview aired Monday that she had asked her boyfriend not to venture out for help after their Jeep became mired in mud on a back road.
Paula Lane said she told Roderick Clifton they should stay with the vehicle and ride out the storm together. Instead, Clifton gave her a wave and walked away.
"I knew I was never going to see him again," Lane, 46, said on NBC's "Today" show.
Lane, 46, was still recovering from frostbite at a Carson City hospital. She was rescued Dec. 5 by her brother, Gary Lane, and a friend after she and Clifton became stranded in California's remote Hope Valley while traveling back to Gardnerville from visiting relatives.
Clifton's body was recovered the same day.
Lane, the mother of 11-year-old twins, survived on tomatoes and snow, and told NBC she made socks out of Kleenex and masking tape.
Lane and Clifton were reported missing after they left Citrus Heights, Calif. on Nov. 29. The couple had traveled down a barricaded dirt and gravel road on U.S. Forest Service land that leads to Burnside Lake in the Sierra Nevada.
Authorities said Clifton had wanted to try out the four-wheel drive on a 1989 Jeep he recently purchased.
When the storm broke three days after Clifton left the vehicle, Lane went looking for help.
Her brother, Gary Lane, was also looking for her, and had a hunch the couple might have gone to the lake where they had camped before.
Gary Lane and a friend, Brian Roff, commandeered a Caltrans front loader and went searching. They found Lane in the hollow of a tree.
"I heard somebody whistle," Roff told NBC. He said Gary Lane yelled out, "`Hey baby. I'm here and we're coming to get you.'"
They loaded her into the bucket of the loader and returned to a small resort on Highway 88 in the scenic valley just south of Lake Tahoe.

I acquired a few markers for some extra parts I needed and am looking to send off the rest. As I was cleaning everything and oiling them down, I came across this:
A couple of things make me think this is really old.
First, it's on a WGP frame.
Next, the valve is marked 00186 and appears to be from back in the day when they soldered on the powertube
Also, the sear is huge, the sear pin in pressed into the rail, and the twist lock assembly is threaded instead of pressed.
Finally, the rail is stamped 186 to match the valve
It had a lvl 7 bolt, so I know it's not all original, but seems pretty close.
So I'm wondering if I have something special or just another old mag.
Thanks, everyone.

Was a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force
Richard J. "Dick" Meyer, age 89, of Sunrise Beach, passed away Monday, April 29, 2013, at his home. He was born November 14, 1923, in St. Louis, Missouri, a son of the late Edward J. and Rose M. Reiss Meyer.
On June 8, 2006, in El Paso, Texas, he was united in marriage to Rosemary Meyer, who survives the home.
