Smoker Mods
OK...here are the simple mods you can make to most "cheap" off-sets.......
Your exhaust vent needs to be extended down to the grate level....it is currently fixed at the top of the unit. This can be done easily with some aluminum flashing....just roll it up and shove it up into the exhaust pipe and make sure it comes all the way down to the grate. It makes opening the top a little more difficult on some models, but you need this to be done.
Why??? Heat will follow the path to the nearest exhaust opening. In this case it goes directly from your firebox, thru the opening and directly up to the top of the unit. Thereby passing OVER your meat. The temp difference between the grate and the top of the unit can be 100º! By getting that exhaust opening at the grate....the heat will now flow horizontally to the far end of your cooking chamber.
Check the opening between your firebox and cooking chamber. Look to see where it is located in reference to the grate....is it above the grate or half way above or below. Here again, your hot air will come blasting out of that opening and go directly thru your meat over to the now extended exhaust. That means it will be very hot at that opening. A simple solution is to put a large pan of water right at that opening. This will deflect much of the heat and will tone down that hot spot.
A surer fix is to attach a "baffle plate" to the top of the opening and bend it downwards so it deflects the heat UNDERNEATH the grate. No welding required but you would have to drill a couple of holes and simply use nuts and bolts to attach. The thicker the metal the better the baffle.
The firebox also leaves a lot to be desired. I have seen charcoal baskets that help to keep the charcoal all in one place and allow for some air circulation. Folks using these claim much longer burn times and much easier temp controls. Why?? Once your charcoal starts to burn down, the live coals get smothered and choked out by the ash. By allowing air flow, your temps will stay where you need them and are much easier to control because of the added air.
Here is a link to charcoal baskets and also pics and further explanation of the mods for some specific cookers...........
Once at this site, at the top of the page are 2 links....Smoker Mods and Charcoal. That is where you will find the info.

Biography / Administrative history
The Advisory Board on Tariff and Taxation was established by the federal government on April 27th,1926 (P.C. 530). It was mandated to act as an advisory institution on tariffs and taxation to the Minister of Finance, James Alexander Robb, who had requested its creation. The Advisory Board on Tariff and Taxation was created as a permanent body and carried out investigations and research into questions regarding the tariff at the request of the Minister of Finance. The Board was made up of three members: The Right Honourable George Perry Graham from Brockville, Ontario, served as Chairman. The other Board members were Alfred Lambert, a manufacturer from Montreal, Quebec and Donald Gordon McKenzie, a farmer from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Hector Brown McKinnon of Toronto, Ontario was appointed Secretary of the Board (PC 532). The Board was not empowered to initiate its own investigations but conducted them under the direction of the Minister of Finance. Hearings of the Board were held publicly in Ottawa, the proceedings of which were published. The Board was dissolved on August 8th, 1930 by the new conservative federal government (PC 1937) and was replaced by the Tariff Board in 1931. Prior to the creation of the Advisory Board on Tariff and Taxation, federal inquiries into tariffs had come in the form of three temporary commissions that traveled across Canada holding public hearings ( see "Records Relating to Tariff Commissions" sous-fonds or series). The first tariff commission was held between 1896-1897 and visited 15 Canadian cities between Winnipeg and Halifax. Members of this first commission were all Cabinet Ministers who held duties related to the tariff: Richard Cartwright, W.S. Fielding, Oliver Mowat, and William Paterson. A second tariff Commission chaired by Minister of Finance W.S. Fielding was held between 1905-1906 and traveled to 47 cities between Nova Scotia and British Columbia. The third commission was held in 1920-1921 by Minister of Finance, Sir Henry Drayton.

"On The Road Again..."
Ryan (MBA '08) - 12/21/2011
Ryan held a marketing position with an aerospace company in Alabama and needed to relocate his family to Indianapolis. Because his experience is in a niche industry with a limited presence in Indianapolis, his job search was a big challenge. He was continually beaten for positions by people with more direct industry experience. After several months of applying, interviewing, and networking, Ryan made contact with a Kelley alum (David) who works for Raytheon in Indianapolis. David knew of a project manager position within Raytheon and thought Ryan's experience matched up well. David forwarded Ryan's resume to the hiring manager. Ryan interviewed, was offered, and accepted the position allowing him and his family to return to his hometown!

I purchased in a package Photoshop Elements 10 as well as Premiere Elements 10. It comes with 5 disc....When I install the first disc it does not ask for the 2nd disc once the first disc is done. When the first one was done the option was hit finish and I did and that was it. It did not request the next disc. What do I do?
Disc 1 contains the installer for Windows 32 bit.
Disc 2 contains the installer for Windows 7 64 bit.
Disc 3 contains the installer for mac OS.
Disc 4 is the Adobe Premiere Elements content disc for Windows.
Disc 5 is the Adobe Premiere Elements content disc for Mac OS.
You can install from Disc1, 2 or 3 depending on the operating system your computer is running on.
Gautham K
Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it. I won't be able to do
anything with this until tomorrow night after work. If I have further
problems, may I contact you this way?
Jim Birch
Hi Jim,
You can certainly post here in case you have further issues.
Installed the 2nd disc for my 64 bit system and it asked for a License
number. When I installed the Premiere disc for Windows it did not ask for
the License number. Is that normal and will it cause problems down the
Irrespective of the disc you use, you will be prompted for the serial number. I am guessing that the step at which you are asked for the serial number might vary across installation discs.
I'd also recco this article : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/863/cpsid_86374.html
Hi Jim,
That should not cause any issues in future. You can also reference the document provided above by Preran which runs through the step by step process of installation for Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements.
Elements installed OK from disk 2, but I have been unable to install Premiere. Disk 5 loads the "content", but there is something missing.
When I use disk 2 to try to load Premiere, I get a message "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor."
Hi Pricemw,
What operating system and processor is your computer running on?
I would suggest that you verify if your computer meets the minimum system requirement for Premiere Elements 10.
You can find the same here : PRE10 Tech Specs.
I am running Windows 7 on a Dell T3500, which uses a Intel Xeon 5500 series processor. Data bus is 64 bits, and processor runs at 2.1 g. All the minimum requirements are met as far as I can tell.
I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in this document:
Troubleshoot Premiere Elements 10 & Photoshop Elements 10 Installation
Please let us know if it resolves the issue.
The troubleshooting link was of absolutely no help. Except...that somehow a "chat" window opened. Of course, that was for customer service, and after a few exchanges I was moved over to tech support.
The tech support solution was to install Premiere Elements using disk 1. I did that, and it seems to work. However, I wonder if I am running Premiere elements in 32 bit mode. Photoshop elements 10 installed from disk 2 with no problems. And again, there should be no reason that my computer doesn't meet minimum requirements.
Hi there, I'm receiving the message "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor" The copy I have was bundled with a digital camera I purchased and was sealed in a celophane wrapper so I'm assuming it is legitimate. There are two DVD discs in the case. One marked for MAC. One marked for Windows.
Please help anyone
I am having the same issue as orton, two discs, neither of which seem to support Windows XP which is what I am running. Any help would be appreciated.
Very poor install instructions and labeling from very good company, tisk tisk.
I am having the same difficulties to install Adobe Premiere Elements 10 from Disc 2 on my Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit.
After starting the "setup.exe" I can choose the language and if I click on continue, the installer seems to start and says the it is configuring the windows installer.
After a few seconds the window closes and nothing happens then. For each run of the "setup.exe" I get a process msiexec which seem to be left running.
The system requirements are exceeded by my system. I have followed the troubleshooting guides but nothing helped.
I have also tried to use the trial download verison, but this show exactly the same behaviour.
I have tried the following:
* disabling of antivirus software
* clean up temporary files
* reregister the windows installer
* run the setup.exe as administrator
* copy the content on the HDD and rename the folder to a short name
Once again, nothing of the above actions helped.
I am really disappointed at this stage, because for me it is "only" a video editiing application and not a ring-0 kernel mode debugger or anything similiar which has to be installed on the system, so I do not understand why such an easy task as the installation of a piece of application software from a famous company as Adobe could cause so much trouble.
Hi again,
I finally managed to resolve my problem.
The 64-Bit version of the MSI Installer was broken.
I have found a lot of repair instructions for the installer, but they always only mentioned the 32-bit version of msiexec.
Then, I have found this KB entry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346/en-us
This paragraph is important:
"Note For 64-bit operating systems, you also have to reregister the 64-bit MSI installer. To do this, click Start, click Run, type %windir%\Syswow64\Msiexec /regserver in the Open text box, and then click OK."
After I followed the above note and restartet my Windows 7 Professional, the installation of Adobe Premiere Elements worked without any problems!
Please can you help me too. I installed Photoshop elements 10 and had power failure. It loaded but didn't work properly. I tried uninstalling from "Add/Remove programmes" but couldn't find it. Then I used System mechanic to remove. Now I am trying to reinstall but wants to uninstall. Keeps on saying cannot find path 2343. What do I do now? Programme is now useless to me. PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE HELP
I have not been able to download Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10, after they disappeared (again) from my Dell Inspiron 620, OS Windows 7 64 bit. I've spent time with Chat and WAY too much time trying to download the 2 programs for the 3rd time. When they were still up and running the last time, Elements frequently closed, both Organizer and Editor. I believe they (and Elements 9, as well) were causing the same closing problem with my MS Office 2010 and IE 9. I've "communicated" with Adobe numerous times and gotten nowhere.
I thought I wuold order the discs, but upon reading the complaints of those who have done so, I'm not at all sure that will help.
When I click on the KB entry "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/351346/en-us in your report above (May 17 5:03 AM), the window that opened said:
This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article
may not be relevant to you.
The article refered to:
Error message when you try to add or remove a program on a computer that is running Windows XP
or Windows Server 2003: "The Windows Installer service could not be accessed"
Is there any hope for downloading and installing a working version of Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10?
I must say that I have had not luck. Disks are useless to me.
Miri van Straaten
I used the disk and found it easy to install. I just was not aware that I
had to insert disk #4 for additional themes. Over all I found that the
options of themes and clipart is very limited.
I am currently shopping for additional themes and clipart to upload into my
Premier Elements is great for blending and adding soundtracks just needs
more themes and clip art. I thought by joining the Memebership that I
would have access to more but was a bit disappointed.
I bought Elements and premier bundle today for new windows 7 on new 64 bit computer. Installed using disk 1 (couldn't read the very very fine print on the dick that tells me the "start" with disk 2. When I then tried disk 2 it wants to uninstall elements and as I couldn't find a path around I was cgoing to but found a note somewhere (can't remember where) that says: IF YOU UNINSTALL WITHOUT DEACTIVATING THE KEY THAN YOU LOSE ONE OF THE 2 AVAILABLE KEYS. The deactivation command is supposed to be on the help file but was nowhere to be found. It took a while but finally opened up a new file in the program (that actually looked ok with disk 1), and that naughty deactivation key showed up on the help tab. So, then loaded using disk 2 and all ok except thwe install just stops at the end and I have 3 disks left in the box. Skipped disk 3 for a Mac install and tried #4 and it downloded templates or something ok. Tried disk 5 and nothing happened at all. There are files there for Premium I think but couldn't find anything I wanted to click.Disk 3 also does nothing but spin.
So, I think I have 1 of 2 programs installed and I'm up about 20 points on my blood pressure.
Adobe, please send me a fix of some kind that allows the rest of the install to complete.
I think it is absolutely pathetic. I wonder if Adobe ever reads this. I
had to buy a laptop to use the programme because there is NO fix to
uninstall from my desktop. I can install but then the organiser is not
working and I have spent MANY hours on the help line without anu success.
They cannot help me and that is why I had to buy a laptop. Every programme
that I know of has a uninstall link. Photoshop elements 10 has nothing and
seems to me no other programme of Adobe has it.
Miri van Straaten
Did you try the installation disk? That is how I uninstalled my first attempt. Place the same disk back to your dvd player and the only path forward is to allow the disk to uninstall the program. Make sure though that you deactivate the "key" on the help tab of the program and remember you need to start a new catalog or open an old one to see the deactivate button on the help tab.
Yes my friend. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and then my organizer is not
working. My disks are worthless on the desktop. I have spoken to adobe and
nobody can help.
Miri van Straaten
I just did the EXACT thing! As I was installing from Disk 1, I got this bad feeling that things were going too easily. So, I got my magnifying glass to read the tiny, tiny writing on Disk 2....My reading glasses are bi-focals, and I still couldn't read the lettering. By turning up the lights to 120 footcandles psf, (Operating Room light levels) there it was......."TO INSTALL FOR WINDOWS 7 64-BIT, START WITH DISK 2!".
I stopped after installing the first disk....What do I do?
No need to worry , just uninstall the software from the Control panel--->Add /Remove programs and re-install from Disk 2
hello, I downloaded mine from the Adobe site and did not get discs...is this a problem?
What I did was deactivate the installation to save the registration key for another install. To do that you need to have a catalog started and look under the help tab for "deactivate" or if you are restarting the program, hit the edit tab (not organise) and the help/deactivate will show up.
Then uninstall using control panel
Then reinstall using the wonderful disk #2.
Hope this helps
My problem is now sorted out. I had windows reloaded. That was the ONLY
way I could get photoshop to install and work again. Didn't want to install
the organizer
Miri van Straaten
Please tell me how you "had windows reloaded."
I assume you are running Windows 7? 64-bit?
I am still having problems downloading Photoshop 10. It says that the program is downloaded. As I continue it says that it can't be opened because it is the wrong type of file?
I'm having the exact same problem dream34pics.
I have to say that for a reputable company such as Adobe, the instructions for download are totally non existent. The download for purchases on line are controlled by Digital River. I had problems with downloading as the link on the email confirming my purchase didn't work finally found the url link by pasting the email in Front Page and reading the source.
When I finally got through I was advised by the Digital River customer service that I had had too many attempts at downloading the software. When I sent a mail to CS at Digital I received this reply:
"Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems,
Inc. Home. Please contact them directly with your request through one of
the following methods:
Customer Service URL: http://www.adobe.com/ap/support
Customer Service Phone: If available, the regional numbers will be
listed at the URL above.
We apologize for the inconvenience."
I have now run around the adobe site trying to find a way to download the products, but no joy so far.
I tried to get customer serice to call me back , but this service is not available for my country, Thailand.
The final way I am told is to make a call to the customer service at the number listed on my confirmation email.
I already called this number (which I believe I have to pay for) and spent some 10 minutes on the line to what I believe was someone located in India who said he would send me a link for downloading the software.
As they say in the song .... I'm still waiting!!!!!
Adobe, shame on you. Please get your act together. Why can't you handle your own customer service rather than sub contract it out. You charge enough for the product which more than covers the cost
What about Adobe Photoshop Elements 10(the one with only three disks)?
I have installed disk one, but when I try to install disk two it says serial number is invalid.
I installed Elements 10 and Premier 10, but then the Elements program said to update the Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser. It failed to load. The program said to deinstall the Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser program. I did this, but now Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser will still not reinstall. I had already installed Adobe Air, but that has no effect as your update program cannot see the Air program. How to reinstall the updated Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser?
I've given up on trying to get Elements 10 to load properly. Unless I first reboot my system, it simply plays dead!
I purchased Photo Shop Elements in 2007 and had a computer crash and lost my program. I want to download again and install. I Don't have Disks it was Downloaded.
I am having exactly the same problem with the Inspiration Browser! After dutifully uninstalling the thing because a pop-up told me I should get the update, the installer hung up on my Adobe AIR, which I had successfully updated, but the installer ignored. Instead it told me it had to install AIR in order to load the Browser update, which it immediately informed me it couldn't do, due to a download error, but did I wish to retry? As you no doubt know, it did not matter that I did so wish, the same thing happened every time. I would appreciate it if I could wait here with you on this bench so I can jump on the bus to salvation when it comes for you. Thank you, you are most kind. Gum?

Yeah, I totally forgot about even just sub-classing it.
But still wondering if there's a more black-boxed approach I can take (i.e. without adding sub-classed code to the code I'm testing).This is a contradiction!

Don't embed business rules in your tests. The business rules should be implemented in the code you are testing.But each test should clearly state which business rule it is testing.
iAmSoFoobarred wrote:No.
But wouldn't the "ensure methods called in this order" test have some value in preventing future-developers from unknowingly breaking the code (i.e. changing the order of the methods)? They would see the test suddenly fails and then realize what they've done.
Or is the better approach to figure out "why" that specific order is necessary and then write a test based on that?Yes.
rp0428 wrote:This depends on what you call a "failing test". In TDD a Test that has compile errors because the unit to be tested is not yet existing is a failing test. So yes: I can write a test that has compile errors to express what interface my unit should expose.
Yes - you cannot test that which does not exist.
Test-driven development is not the panacea or 'one-size-fits-all' solution that some people like to believe it is.Its true that, with TDD, the code you write to confirm the complience of your production code with the requirements should not be called "tests" anymore to avoid this fussiness. This should be called "fixures" instead. But both the framework and the devlopers have a history and that makes it hard to change this.
And in order to try to conform to some of its rules it requires that you contort and distort the very meaning of well-understood terms.
I assume one of things you refer to is this statementBut I can create a test (or fixture) for the ammount of oxygen in the air before the device mixing more or less oxygen into the air exists. And that's the point: Im testing (or better: define a requirement in an executable form for) the mixing device yet to build.
In test-driven development, each new feature begins with writing a test. This test must inevitably fail because it is written before the feature has been implemented
Well that statement assumes you have some sort of reference to this 'new feature'. But the 'feature' has to exist in some form in order to be referenced. The very meaning of 'test' is an action or decision made on something that preexists. You can't test air for it's oxygen content if there isn't something called air that exists and has attributes.
Otherwise you would not need to say 'each new feature begins with writing a test'. One test that tests nothing and fails would be all you need for any new feature: a universally failing test would satisfy that condition.But this test would never be passed. But that's the next step in TDD: make your production code pass the new test (without braking others).
That article also states thisYoure right: in TDD a "test" is just another expression of a requitrement we got from the customer. The special thing about a "test" in TDD is that it is executable and that its execution ends with the decision if the verry special aspect of the requirements is correctly implemented.
In test-driven development a developer creates automated unit tests that define code requirements
If it does that is certainly the wrong approach. Tests should not dictate the code requirements. It isn't appropriate to write a test that dictates whether a parameter to a method is a primitive or an object or an array of objects. The test should be written to validate that the business rules that apply to that parameter are being followed: the nullability of the parameter, min/max values and so on. But the test shouldn't be specifying the actual datatype.
And this quote is almost laughableOK, there are a lot of peole hitting their thumb rather than the nail. Should we not use hammers at all?
This is a differentiating feature of test-driven development versus writing unit tests after the code is written: it makes the developer focus on the requirements before writing the code, a subtle but important difference.
No it doesn't. In my experience more people trying to use test-driven development blindly write test cases without having vetted the requirements at all. They write tests that purport to test features that end up not being related to the requirements at all.
The most important, and still mostly overlooked, step is to define the requirements before you do anything, test writing or code writing.Full agreement!
If you review the most current literature you will find that we are slowly coming full circle to what we used to do all the time in the mainframe development area: flow-charting and pseudo-coding of the flowchart. Your doc link even includes a flowchart.Again: full agreement!
These are the historical steps that were typically followed
1. Define the requirements (first draft attempt)
2. Flow-chart the logic flow that meets those requirements
3. Pseudo-code the flowchart - equivalent to method calls with simple return statements or loops with a NULL statement.
4. Begin coding based on the pseudo-code
5. Test after the first round of coding is done.
6. Go back to step 3 or 4 based on test results.
Test-driven development, when properly implemented, should basically swap steps 4 and 5
4. write test cases based on the psuedo-code or actual code implementationYes.
5. write code based on the pseudo-code
6. go back to step 4 and retest
Sometimes you have to go back to step 1 and modify the requirements. Sometimes you have to just go back to step 3 and revise the flowchart (add additional paths or exception handling.
So even for test-driven development it should be requirements first, flow-chart/logic diagram next, pseudo-code next AND THEN TEST CASES.
The test cases may not be build on much at first (pseudo-code with empty methods) but they are based on SOMETHING and they do NOT contain business logic; they test business logic.
If you look at it from that perspective then OPs question has four dummy pseudo-coded methods A, B, C, D that each perform some unstated business funtion. Another business function is to call those methods in order. You would create new pseudo-code for that; method E that calls methods A, B, C, D in order. Then you would write a test case for method E. And that test case should SUCCEED, not fail. Those mentioned 'mock' objects are basically equivalent to pseudo-code; that is a way to get the 'something' that is needed to base a test on.I could have written my sample test only based on the prosa description of the problem. This test then would not compile but in terms of TDD not compileable test means <i>failed test</i>.
Then as you flesh out the actual code for methods A, B, C, D (which should have their own initial tests) you perform ALL tests and make sure that all tests SUCCEED.Yes, when you've finnished to implement the actual part of the requirement. before starting the next.
The goal is that from beginning to end: ALL TESTS SHOULD SUCCEED.
That whole idea of test-driven development to start out with your tests failing is the biggest bunch of malarkey I've ever seen. As I state above that is a contrivance to make the definition work.No.
OK, there are a lot of peole hitting their thumb rather than the nail. Should we not use hammers at all?He he, I've been using that one for a long time now :)
rp0428 wrote:This is the the point where we differ.
IMO a 'test' (e.g. a JUnit test) is a separate and distinct entity and it needs a second separate and distinct entity to perform the 'test' on. I do not agree that a test that won't compile is a valid test at all; the test can't even be run if it won't compile.
Otherwise you would only need one 'universal' syntax-ridden piece of code that could be used as the initial test for literally anything. That doesn't make any real sense to me.The aim is always to make our production code pass all test at the end of the day. And how would you make such a 'universal' test pass?
So, yes, my perspective is sometimes at odds with the literal 'reading of the rules' of TDD but not with the goal and basic process. At its most basic for a new project you could use NetBeans to create a new project with one new method that has nothing but an empty 'main' method and write the initial test on that. But in the process we use that test should SUCCEED; it successfully executes the entire application from beginning to end without error.The point in having a failing test before the implementation of a business rule is: This makes sure I'm really testing the work on that business rule. And I have the Test results history to prove that. How do you proove what your tests test?
I appreciate you taking to the time to try to understand what I was really trying to say rather than just see the words I used to say it.You made an effort to write that stuff so its a question of politeness to take that seriously. And maybe I meight learn something this way... ;o)

Sixers 2013-14 Season Preview: Frequently Asked Questions
Oct 29, 2013, 11:08 AM EDT
The unforgettable journey that will be the Philadelphia 76ers' 2013-14 season tips off tomorrow night against the Miami Heat, to what should be a packed house of bandwagon LeBron fans and homeless people trying to get in from the cold. It's going to be that kind of season, and while tomorrow will likely be the first national embarrassment the team suffers, it certainly won't be the last. That's OK, though–the terrible season will not be without purpose, and we are promised great reward for our tremendous suffering once the season passes.
Anyway, that's the really short version of our Sixers season preview, but there won't be anything short about this season, so here's the long version, in the form of a Q&A session (with myself, natch) that should address the most pressing questions (and maybe a couple of the least pressing, too) concerning Sixers fans about these upcoming 82 games of basketball and the scrappy group of ragtag misfits that are going to play them. Read on, get pumped, and see you guys at the Wells Fargo Center tomorrow night.
So, uh, who exactly is gonna be playing on this team come opening night?
Well, our depth chart to start the season looks something like this:
PG: Michael Carter-Williams, Darius Morris
SG: James Anderson, Tony Wroten
SF: Evan Turner, Hollis Thompson
PF: Thaddeus Young, Lavoy Allen
C: Spencer Hawes, Daniel Orton
The Sixers also just picked up Brandon Davies, a 6'9″ rookie forward out of BYU who failed to make the Clippers' final cut.
Not included on the Sixers' final roster are training camp invitees Gani Lawal, Rodney Williams, Mac Kowshal, Vander Blue, Khalif Wyatt and Royce White, all of whom were waived before the deadline.
Wait, Royce White got waived? Wasn't he supposed to be good eventually? Why'd we let him go?
It's a little tough to say. There are a couple reasons Royce would've been given the axe–too out of shape, too much of a behind-the-scenes headache, too unpolished on both sides of the ball to contribute–but none of them are totally satisfying. White still seems to me like exactly the kind of player the Sixers should be rolling the dice on this year–high-upside, but needing a good deal of attention and development to reach his potential, and not too likely to help the team actually win games in the meantime.
Of course, you could say that the Sixers took an extended look at Royce in the pre-season and just determined he wasn't ever going to be that good. I don't really buy that either. True, his overall play could generously be described as erratic–he fouled at a totally unsustainable rate, turned the ball over far too much for a big man, and had an outside shot to make Thaddeus Young shudder–but there were moments of real promise. On one possession against the Timberwolves, he backed down Kevin Love on a drive with such ease that it looked like he was posting up a point guard on a mismatch. In transition against the Nets, he dribbled around one defender, sucked in another and dished to an open Thaddeus Young for an easy layup.
These moments were admittedly few and far between across five pre-season games for the Sixers, but they were there, and that was more than could be said for most of the team's other training camp departees–or, for that matter, of newer acquisition Brandon Davies in the handful of Clippers pre-season games I watched. It's been pointed out that it's still possible for the Sixers to bring Royce back on a D-League deal to play with the Delaware 87ers, and personally, I really hope they do–he was an entertaining distraction if nothing else, and we can certainly use a handful of those this season.
So what about the other guys we let go–anyone worth shedding tears over losing?
Not really, though Vander Blue showed some nice athleticism and shooting, and Khalif Wyatt had potential as a shot-creator off the bench. It was never likely that more than one of Blue, Wyatt and Hollis Thompson would make the roster, however, and Thompson probably got the edge for his size and ability to play multiple positions. None of the other guys really had much of a prayer, and I'd be surprised if any of them ended up on another NBA roster this season.
How about Daniel Orton and Darius Morris, who actually made the final team? What can they do for us this year?
Not a ton. Morris is basically there to just buy Michael Carter-Williams 10-15 minutes a game on the bench–he's a pretty solid defender, and there might be nights where he's called on to match up with Derrick Rose or Brandon Jennings in extended stints, but his offensive upside is limited to the point where it's hard to see him even being a rotation player in this league in a couple years, much less a starter.
Orton is the more interesting of the two, with a big, unmovable NBA body (6'10″ with a 7'4″ wingspan, about 275 pounds) and some minor skills around the basket–think of him like a Kwame Brown who can actually catch the ball and possibly even finish with it. He's a presence for sure, but he's also a little too out of shape to get big minutes in a system like Coach Brown's, and still a little too raw to produce much on either end. As one of the Sixers' only available back-up bigs, he'll get minutes to hopefully play himself into shape and into usefulness, but he's a threat to be replaced at a moment's notice if/when a better option comes along.
Didn't we also pick up a couple international guys in the summer? Where are they at now?
Arsalan Kazemi, the Iranian rebounding machine we picked up from Oregon in the second round of last year's draft, signed with an Iranian team after playing decently for the Sixers' summer league squad, out of fear that he wouldn't get the minutes to expand his game on this year's Sixers team. Furkan Aldemir, the Turkish big man the Sixers picked up from the Rockets along with Royce White, signed with a team in the Turkish League. The Sixers retain the NBA rights to both players, and if both team and player are so inclined, can bring one or both over next year to see if they can contribute to the roster.
OK, so our roster's not that great right now. But we have some dudes coming back from injury at some point this season, right?
Maybe? Of the 15 players on the Sixers' current roster, four are currently inactive: Kwame Brown, Arnett Moultrie, Jason Richardson and Nerlens Noel. It's unclear when, or if, any of these guys are going to suit up for the Sixers this year. Kwame is currently out with a hamstring strain, which shouldn't be too severe, but even if he can make it back at some point this season, it's unclear Coach Brett Brown will even give him any playing time, and Hinkie might only be keeping him around to potentially use his contract as filler in some bigger mid-season trade.
Arnett had ankle surgery a month ago and is expected some point in the new year, but exactly when is pretty vague, and the Sixers have no real reason to rush him back. It's the same sort of deal for Jason Richardson, who had knee surgery back in February, and won't be ready until at least the new year. The Sixers have a little motivation to try to prove J-Rich can still walk and shoot threes, since he could be a veteran trade target for a contender at the deadline, but it's a long-shot that he'll be ready by then, and once the deadline passes, the Sixers have no reason to play him over a younger, healthier wing that might have a shot at being part of the team's future.
As for Nerlens, we already talked about Coach Brown's comments suggesting that the team will likely play it super-safe with the rookie big man after his ACL tear back in February, and keep him out the entire season. It's still possible he'll make a late-late-season cameo, but most likely, his first game with the Sixers won't come until 2014-15.
Wait, another high-upside big man who we traded our best player for and is gonna be out for the whole year now? This is Andrew Bynum all over again, isn't it?
Understandable reaction, but not really true. The Sixers likely knew going into the trade with New Orleans that Noel was probably going to miss the whole '12-'13 season, and as I previously mentioned, that was probably the main reason they were able to get him through the #6 pick at all. Meanwhile, Bynum's condition was degenerative, while Noel's was due to a fluke accident–a devastating one, but not an unprecedented or an irreparable one–and while Bynum became a free agent immediately following his one non-season in Philly, we still have Noel under team control for a reasonable price for at least three more seasons.
It's more patience than a fanbase who just spent a season waiting for a payoff that never came should be asked to show, but there's every indication that Noel will still be worth waiting for, and that he's trying his damnedest to get back in the best possible playing condition as soon as possible. So let's not go calling him Bynum Pt. II just yet.
Speaking of Bynum, what's he up to now? When do we get to boo him at the WFC?
As you probably know, Bynum signed an incentive-laden deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers that could be worth as much as two years, $25 million or as little as one year, $6 million, depending on how much he has to offer the team in the first year. The last reports had Bynum suiting up for five-on-five team practice, though without much reporting on how he's looked thusfar, and without him getting cleared by team doctors to play in actual game action. (Coach Mike Brown ruled him out for the Cavs' season opener yesterday.)
Andrew will be making his first return visit to Philly just about a week into the season, on Friday, November 8th, but my bet is that he'll still be aways from actually playing at that point. If he suits up in Philly this season, it probably won't be until the Cavs' second visit to Wells Fargo, on Feb. 18th. Even that may end up being too soon to expect a healthy Bynum return, however, and Sixers fans should probably feel fortunate that this is all some other fanbase's headache and heartache now.
So Noel's out, but the other guy we got in the first round should play, right? Is he gonna be any good this year?
Probably not very, but that's not too important. Michael Carter-Williams, the point guard the Sixers selected out of Syracuse with the #11 pick in the draft, will undoubtedly get all the minutes in the world this season to prove himself as the floor general of the future for the Liberty Ballers, but the returns aren't likely to be immediately positive. On a team with limited offensive options, MCW will be called on to score as well as to create for others, and while he's already pretty good at the latter, he's got a long, long way to go on the former.
It's not that Carter-Williams can't shoot, precisely–his stroke actually looks pretty decent from a formalist standpoint, and when he got clean, open catch-and-shoot looks in the pre-season, he knocked them down at a decent rate–it's that he doesn't seem to really know how or when to shoot. He seems over-confident in his ability to hit pull-up threes, which has already resulted in some pretty ugly bricks this pre-season, and when turns the corner on the pick-and-roll, he has no one-handed floater in his arsenal, instead shooting some kind of weird two-handed fadeaway that looks terrible and rarely finds twine.
Personally, I won't be paying much attention to Carter-Williams' scoring or shooting averages this year, none of which project to be all that encouraging. I'll be looking at the kind of shots he's taking–whether he learns to stay within himself from the perimeter, to only take the outside shots the defense essentially forces him to take, and whether he can put in enough work with Coach Brown and his staff to expand his arsenal near the basket, and hopefully start to develop a runner in the lane–like, say, the one that Brown helped Tony Parker master during his San Antonio days.
In the meantime, MCW should be able to contribute to the Sixers in other ways. He's shown a fine eye for distributing in the pre-season, registering 16 assists and just one turnover across his first three pre-season games, though those numbers evened out a little towards the end. He's also shown the potential to be a truly stifling on-ball defender, and to create turnovers with his long arms and strong instincts for disrupting passing lines, and he's been a very solid rebounder for his position, grabbing nearly five boards a game. You can easily see Carter-Williams becoming a prized fantasy commodity a couple years down the road for his ability to fill up the box score, though in his rookie season at least, his lousy shooting percentages should tank that a bit.
There's been some talk comparing MCW's pre-season struggles to find the basket to those experienced by Evan Turner before his first NBA season, and that the likeness does not bode well for Michael's pro career. I don't see the comparison as a fair one, though–the reason Turner's early scoring struggles were so alarming were because scoring was supposed to be his primary asset as a pro, and because the reason he flailed was because he seemed to lack the athleticism to separate himself at the next level. Neither are true of Carter-Williams–he's a pass-first point guard by nature, and his struggles are a matter of an extreme lack of refinement, rather than a lack of proper physicality.
Plus, let's not forget that MCW was just the 11th pick in a weak draft, and shouldn't be expected by anyone to come around and contend for All-Star honors right away. If he can show enough progress in his rookie season to make us think he might get to an acceptable pro starter level a couple years from now, that should be good enough for us for now.
What about that Tony Wroten guy, though? He looked good in the pre-season, any chance he takes the starter's job from MCW?
Nah. Wroten did have a lot of good moments in the pre-season–a couple 20-point games, some highlight plays on the fast break, a whole lot of free-throw attempts–but putting him in the starting lineup, especially at the point guard position, would likely be disastrous. As questionable as MCW's decision-making can be at times, it's nothing compared to Wroten's recklessness with the ball (T-Wrote finished the pre-season with 24 turnovers and just 19 assists), and his outside shooting is just as bad (6-24 from deep across seven games). His defense is still inconsistent, and he can be kind of a ball-stopper in the half-court.
There's little question that the Sixers stole a real asset in Wroten this off-season, since he's a terror in the open court and is physically imposing and relentless enough for his position to get to the line seemingly at will. There's a chance that he'll be a part of the next good Sixers team, but if so, it'll probably be as a change-of-pace sixth man–he's not quite talented enough to have a starting unit geared around him, and he doesn't seem to blend in well enough with others to be a useful cog in a high-level team offense.
Of course, Wroten's also still just 20 years old–two years younger than MCW–and still has room to grow, as well as the playing time in which to do so. Wroten should bring some real excitement to the WFC before the year's over, but like Carter-Williams, he's still a ways off from actually helping a young team win ball games.
Carter-Williams won't help us this year, Wroten won't help us this year–did we get anybody in the off-season who might actually help us get some damn W's this season?
Yes. Well, maybe, anyway. James Anderson, the fourth-year wing the Sixers plucked from the Rockets after three seasons of bouncing around between Houston and San Antonio, had perhaps the most encouraging pre-season of anyone on the Sixers roster. He won't ever be the high-volume scorer or offensive first option in the pros that he was at Oklahoma State, but he's proven that he has an ability that is critical to today's NBA–and with J-Rich still ailing, otherwise totally lacking on the Sixers roster–he can hit an open three.
That might not sound like too tremendous an asset, since it's something most non-centers in the NBA are basically expected to be able to do, but it can hard to find players who can do so consistently. "Consistent" basically defines Anderson's production from deep in the pre-season, however, where he sunk at least two treys in all seven games, and shot 17-35 total from downtown. His performance from inside the arc has been a bit more of an adventure, but he's proved to be a weapon in transition, and managed to average nearly 14 points a game on incredibly impressive 57% shooting.
Those numbers obviously won't last, and the pre-season has been known to produce a mirage or two, so let's not write down James Anderson as the Sixers' shooting guard of the future just yet. Still, it was a strong enough audition that Anderson should be penned in as the team's unquestioned starter at the two-guard–not like they really have any other good choices–with an eye towards either locking him up at a reasonable price for the Sixers' future, or trying to sell high on him at the trade deadline if Hinkie and company think he won't stick. In the meantime, if he can win a game or two for us with his outside shooting, and give MCW somebody reliable to kick out to when he goes traipsing down the lane, that's not such a bad thing.
So if Anderson's at the two, that means Evan's back to playing the three. How's that going to work?
Well, based on Evan's first handful of pre-season games, it might work pretty well for him. Going against bigger, often slower defenders means that it's easier for Evan to get himself a little space for his array of turnaround and step-back jumpers, and it's more likely that he'll be able to gain a step on them on drives to the basket, which could help explain why his free throw rate (nearly eight FTAs a game) was so much higher this pre-season than it has been for most of his Sixers career, where he's been largely forced to play shooting guard. It also takes a little of the pressure off him to be a threat from deep, which is good, considering ET's long-range stroke has remained in late-season form this October (just 2-14 over six games).
The downside to this, of course, is on the boards. With Evan at the three, the rebounding advantage he had at shooting guard is largely neutralized, and with neither Thaddeus Young or Spencer Hawes a particular monster on the glass, this team is going to get out-rebounded a lot–as they were in four of the six pre-season games in which they played their starting unit, including a game in Brooklyn where they were out-boarded 54-31. The Sixers will need help from everyone, including Turner and plus-sized point Michael Carter-Williams, to crash the glass, and immediately trigger the break in the other direction, considering scoring in transition will be crucial to the team scoring enough at all to stay in games this season.
Where else besides Evan can we reasonably expect this team to get offense from?
Good question, and one without a lot of easy answers. Thad averaged about 15 points a game last year, which isn't awful for a secondary scorer, but I expect that number to go down this year–he needs a point guard to get him the ball (watching him try to score on isos can be a truly gut-wrenching experience), and it seems like he and MCW aren't on anywhere near the same level of chemistry yet that he was with Jrue last season. Spence can exploit certain matchups in the post, and two or three times a season he'll get hot with his jumper for a couple games, but relying on him as a regular third option is a pretty insecure policy. Tony Wroten will score 20-plus points with a dozen free throw attempts some nights, and he'll score four on 1-10 shooting others. Lavoy Allen…well, never mind.
Bottom line is that this team is not going to score a lot of points. Evan Turner can lead the way some nights, and I expect him to finally hit the 30-point plateau for the first time this year–maybe even more than once–but he's always be prone to the occasional night where absolutely nothing goes down, as was the case in the Sixers' final pre-season game in Minnesota, where he went 2-15 from the field. When that happens, it's going to be really hard for the Ballers to outscore anyone, even in a 1/3-crappy Eastern conference. And that will result in a lot of losses.
But that's good, right? Don't we kind of want to lose as much as possible this year?
Yup. For better or worse, this entire Sixers season is essentially just a prelude to June 26th of next year, when the Sixers will likely have two first-round picks–one from the Pelicans as part of the Holiday/Noel deal, one our own–in what is being billed as the best draft class since the 2003 set that produced LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh.
As any fan of the modern NBA knows, the more games the Sixers lose, the higher their own pick is likely to be. Without much in the way of free-agency sway or particularly sexy trade assets, this might be the best chance the 76ers get all decade to add a true franchise talent to their roster–arguably their first since picking Allen Iverson with the #1 pick 18 years earlier.
And that's okay? There aren't any rules against intentionally losing as many games as possible to help your draft positioning?
Not yet, not really–though the Sixers and some other teams are really pushing the limits this year with their transparency in not even attempting to field a competitive roster. Some people in the know have speculated that the tankfest going on across the NBA this year in advance of the 2014 draft will spur the NBA's new commissioner, Adam Silver, to action in devising measures to punish or otherwise disincentivize teams from bottoming out in such a manner, a step that will probably need to be taken sooner or later. But for now, the Sixers' strategy appears to be the safe-and-sound one, and will likely pay dividends come June.
Who do we want to get in the draft? Everyone loves that Wiggins kid, right?
Indeed, Kansas freshman forward Andrew Wiggins is being toted as the likely first-overall pick of the draft, a small forward who scouts say possess a combination of athleticism, skill and all-around potential not seen since LeBron came out of high school 11 years earlier. Wiggins might be the top prize, but he won't be the only one available–there's freak athletes like Kentucky big man Julius Randle, who looks like Zach Randolph with hops, and Arizona forward Aaron Gordon, who scouts compare to a mini-Blake Griffin, as well as do-everything players like Duke wing Jabari Parker, who was talented enough in High School for Sports Illustrated to put him on the cover, and Australian guard Dante Exum, a long-armed, 6'7″ scorer with enough ball-handling skills to play the point.
Any one of those guys could end up being just as good as Wiggins, and if one of them excels at college or internationally while Wiggins fails to quite live up to billing at Kansas, I wouldn't be surprised who to take with the #1 overall pick becomes a debate that rages among basketball fans all year long. And those guys are just the tip of the iceberg–the 2014 draft goes deep enough that there might be potential All-Stars even towards the low end of the lottery, starters late in the first round, and rotation guys in the high second. Teams aren't gearing their entire future around this draft for no reason.
Who's the Sixers' primary competition in the race to the bottom, then?
Well, the Suns officially established themselves as worthy adversaries for the Sixers by trading center Marcin Gortat–the only half-decent post scorer on the roster–to the Wizards for the injured Emeka Okafor, some scrubs and a draft pick, making an already lousy team downright terrible. The Celtics are also in full-on rebuild mode, having dealt franchising-defining players Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, with the currently injured Rajon Rondo possibly to follow. The Magic were the league's worst team last year, and don't seem to be in a rush to get better anytime soon. And you have to bet on history with perennially terrible teams like the Bobcats and Kings, even though both actually made moves in the off-season to get better.
Another team that nobody mentions as a possible Tankapalooza contender but who I feel might be a force to be reckoned with is the Milwaukee Bucks. They made as many moves in the off-season as anyone, but ended up with a roster full of average players and no real point guard, which is a pretty solid two-point plan for being absolutely awful. The Sixers still have a pretty good claim to pole position for the draft sweepstakes, but it's gonna be a race to the finish with some of these teams for sure.
But what if the Sixers turn out to be too good at the start of the season? Will Sam Hinkie trade our better players before the deadline to ensure a league-worst record?
Well, luckily for us, there's not too much risk of that happening–the Sixers start their season with six of their first ten games coming against playoff teams from last year, and the other four coming again the much-improved Cavaliers and Wizards. Of their first 15 games, I imagine game #14 at home against Milwaukee would be the only one they might actually be favored in. The chances of the Sixers outperforming their skill level at season's start–with a rookie point guard, a first-year coach and absolutely no bench depth–is not great.
Regardless, though, the team's healthy veterans—all three of them–will all be at risk to be traded before season's end, should a deal present itself that's worth Hinkie's while. Of the three, imagine that Spence is the most likely to be traded–teams always need big men, and some contender might take a rental on Spence's expiring deal as a backup or replacement if he plays decently to start the season–and that Thad is the least, since he's still under team control for another season (with a player option for '15-'16) at a reasonable rate, and best fits the young, athletic, defensive-minded roster that Hinkie and company appear to be molding with this Sixers team.
The biggest question will be whether Evan finishes the season a Liberty Baller. He doesn't seem to fit Hinkie's mold at all, and pretty much all advanced metrics say that his numbers don't justify his usage rate on the court. That said, it might be tough to get value for a player like Turner in the trade market–his unique set of skills makes him an awkward fit on most playoff-bound rosters, and a rebuilding team might be reluctant to relinquish much in the way of future assets for a largely unproven player.
Largely, ET's future depends on how he plays this season as the team's primary scorer. If Evan can show enough improvement to get a rebuilding team to roll the dice on him, he very well might be dealt, espsecially if Hinkie can find a team willing to fork over a first round pick in next year's draft–after all, Phoenix already has a max of four picks in '14′s first round, while the Sixers only have a measly two. But I'd bet Evan plays just well enough to stay the first option on one of the league's worst teams, and finishes the season as a Sixer.
Oh right, what about that second first-round pick? Where's that gonna fall?
Well, Sixer fans with dreams of going into next year's lottery with two top ten picks might be wise to temper their expectations a little after watching New Orleans this pre-season. The Pelicans went 7-1 in October play, with their only loss coming to the defending-champion Heat. Generally, pre-season records are meaningless, but watching the Pelicans, they really looked like a team ready to take the next step, with Jrue filling in the last piece of the puzzle for a team already loaded with an improved Anthony Davis, a (finally) healthy Eric Gordon, and an always-deadly Ryan Anderson.
Not saying the Pelicans are championship contenders just yet–even if they're as improved as they looked in the pre-season, their ceiling is still probably the sixth or seventh seed in the crowded West–just that I don't think it's likely their pick will be a particularly high one this year. In a way, though that's good for us–their pick is top-five protected anyway, so we probably wouldn't want to risk things totally falling apart for New Orleans and the pick rolling over to next year or another future, lesser draft.
Plus, there would still be plenty of potential quality players available in the mid-teens of this year's draft, and Hinkie will probably spend the great majority of the season scouting every one of them. It'll be more entertaining than watching his own team, certainly.
So that's it, then? Just close your eyes and pretend this season isn't actually happening while we count the days until June 26th? Is there any reason to, y'know, actually watch this team this season?
Oh sure, there's reasons to watch–just not ones related to wins and losses. It'll be fun, if often frustrating, to watch Michael Carter-Williams' development throughout his rookie season, as he (hopefully) starts to adjust to the pro game, figures out what he can and can't do and how he can best help his team win. It'll be amusing to see Evan go nuts for his stats in a contract year, finally free of all Doug Collins-related shackles and free to fire away. And Tony Wroten will probably be good for at least one highlight play a month that sends an absolute electrical current through the Wells Fargo Center–assuming there's anyone there to see it. And speaking of Wroten: You never know when the first Team WHOP video, mixtape or Kendrick Lamar diss is gonna drop, so gotta keep one eye out for that.
Meanwhile, Sam Hinkie will likely remain the Hardest Working GM in Show Business, shuttling misunderstood, high-ceilinged young'ns backwards and forwards across the waiver wire, throwing all kinds of once-and-future prospects at the court to see which, if any, stick. When Kendall Marshall, a 2012 lottery pick, was traded to Washington in the Gortat deal and then waived, he was on Hinkie's radar almost instantly–a scenario that should repeat itself dozens of times throughout the '13-'14 season, as various "fallen angels" around the NBA become unexpectedly available. By the end of the season, the Sixers might institute a mandatory nametag policy at practices and shootarounds. It'll keep things from getting too static, at least.
This season will at times be enthralling, and at far more times will be infuriating. But it won't ever be boring, and it certainly won't ever be as depressing as the end of last season, as a team with legitimate playoff aspirations went in the tank, with an extremely cloudy-looking future, and even screwed up that tank job by playing just well enough in a series of totally meaningless games to ensure a middling draft slot, all while Andrew Bynum cackled evilly from the sidelines.
This year, we know who we are: We're one of the worst teams in the NBA, and we're damn pleased with it, knowing that it's all for a purpose, and that it won't last too much longer. We have no expectations, so there's no way to disappoint. It's kind of liberating, isn't it? Personally, I've never been more pumped for a 15-20-win season before in my life.

If I buy 10 tickets for like $4.56 on Stubhub for a game, I will be able to park close enough to the arena that I could keep a cooler of beer in the car, enter the arena, watch some of the game, run out to my car, slam down a beer, and then use of my 10 tickets to re-enter the game, right?
- Andrew Unterberger - Oct 29, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Kinda brilliant, actually.
- Cuban - Oct 29, 2013 at 6:24 PM
That's awesome.
I like the write up, it's certainly better reading well written pieces about the team than spending much time watching the team. The other teams aren't exactly demanding the city's attention either. The expectation of a top 5 pick and the futility of the NBA team will make the college season even more worth watching.
I hope they can stash White in DE, I was getting unreasonably excited to see how his story plays out here. As a Temple alum, I'm disappointed 'lif didn't make the cut, but I never saw him as NBA caliber.

How in the hell are they going to sell tickets?
- Craig - Oct 30, 2013 at 1:20 PM
I'll tell you how they are going to sell a few. I've got a 7 year old who loves basketball and wants to see a Sixers game. I've been putting him off because those tickets are too expensive and I ain't sitting up in the nosebleeds. After the Liberty Ballers drop 20 of their first 21 great seats for games against the Kings or Suns will go for about $5 a pop on stub hub. That's when I pounce.

PROFILE of artist Carl Andre. Although the Paula Cooper gallery shows his work regularly, Andre has not had a one-man exhibition at a New York museum since 1970, and his name, as a key figure in the development of minimal art, is no longer prominent in the critical discourse. The drought is easing, though, and it will come to an end in March, 2013, when a retrospective exhibition of Andre's work opens at the Dia Art Foundation museum, in Beacon, New York, and then travels to a number of as yet unnamed museums here and in Europe. It is hard to think of an artist whose career has been so affected by circumstances that have nothing to do with his art. In Andre's case, the precipitating event was the death of his third wife, Ana Mendieta, a young artist who fell from the bedroom window of Andre's apartment, on the thirty-fourth floor of a high-rise on Mercer Street, in the early-morning hours of September 8, 1985. Andre was charged with murder, indicted, and eventually acquitted in a non-jury trial, but Mendieta's family and many of her friends in the art community and the feminist movement believe that he was responsible for her death. For several years after his acquittal, Andre spent a lot of time in Europe, where the tragedy seemed to have no effect on his reputation. European museums continued to show his work, and sales to museums and private collectors there helped to offset the almost total disappearance of his American market. Wherever Andre was, he kept working. Andre has described himself as the first post-studio artist. He has never needed a studio, because the materials he works with—four-by-four timbers, bricks, one-foot-square metal plates, cut or natural stones, and other available hardware—are ordered from suppliers and assembled by Andre on the site. Andre does not carve, or model, or weld, or transform his materials. His great innovation was to assemble the elements of his simple, linear sculptures on the floor, without joining them together. Other contemporary sculptors had done away with pedestals and the vertical axis, but Andre's reorientation of his work to the horizontal plane, where it functioned not as an object but, in his words, "as place," was more radical and more influential than anything being done by Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Dan Flavin, or the other minimalist artists in the nineteen-sixties. Writer visits Andre and his wife, Melissa Kretschmer, at their apartment. Tells about Andre's childhood in Massachusetts, his education at Phillips Academy, and his friendship with Richard Serra. Andre discusses his memories of the night Mendieta died.

CRYSTAL FALLS - The Iron County Sheriff's Office said "miraculously" no injuries were reported from a highway traffic crash Friday involving a loaded logging truck and a pickup pulling a horse trailer.
Police said the crash occurred on M-69 near Parks Creek in Mansfield Township.
Iron County Central Dispatch received a 911 call reporting the accident at 12:15 p.m.

This photos show the logs that spilled after a logging truck and loaded horse trailer collided Friday afternoon on M-69 in Iron County. An eastbound truck pulling a horse trailer had pulled from the shoulder of the highway into the path of an eastbound logging truck near Parks Creek in Mansfield Township. The fully-loaded logging truck and pick-up collided and the trailer rolled over, with both the truck and trailer crashing into the woods. (Iron County Sheriff's Office photos)
Police said an eastbound truck driven by Jeanine Schira, 28, of Stephenson had pulled to the shoulder of the highway to check on a possible mechanical problem with her vehicle. Schira was transporting her horse in the horse trailer.
After getting back in the truck, Schira began to re-enter the eastbound lane of M-69 and pulled into the path of an eastbound logging truck. The fully-loaded truck was driven by Michael Brzoznowski, 35, of Iron Mountain, who police said took evasive action to avoid the Schira vehicle. A front, sideswipe collision resulted, police said.
Police said Brzoznowski lost control of the logging truck, the trailer rolled over and both the truck and trailer crashed into the woods, well off the highway.
Neither driver was hurt, nor was the horse.
Police said M-69 was closed for about an hour until Schira's vehicle and the logs from the logging truck trailer could be removed from the highway.
M-69 was then reopened to single lane traffic until 4 p.m. when the logging truck could be removed from the woods.
Deputies were assisted by the Crystal Falls Fire Rescue, Northstar EMS, Michigan State Police and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
