NEW YORK — Morning, Lunatics …
>> The Thursday column from Game 4 at the Garden eschews the norm about writing on the Pittsburgh team and just basically cheap-shots the Rangers in the back of the skull.
I'll elaborate on one thing here, while on the subject of Marc Staal, that mention in the column about the Penguins being furious with the player and with the league: I was told late last night that they forwarded to Gary Bettman's offices various Twitter content about Staal's stick assaults in Game 3 but also the Tuesday column on the topic. In one ear, out the other.
Some of you had asked if the team pushed the matter to back Sidney Crosby. The answer is an emphatic yes.
Here's some of what Paul Martin had to say afterward, which amazingly was off the ice rather than on it, where he'd just logged 30:05:
The game story, by beat man Rob Rossi.
The D-men rise up in Brooks Orpik's absence, by Josh Yohe.
The Rangers' reaction, by Denis Gorman.
News and notes, by Rossi and Yohe.
Here's TribLIVE's Penguins page, our Chipped Ice blog and our photo gallery.
Here's Rangers news from the New York Daily News.
Here's Evgeni Malkin's reverse spin-o-rama from the NHL's YouTube channel:
Blogginess from the scene: Some of the nastiest things are shouted on the concourses of the Garden after the Rangers play badly. Should have heard the place after this one. Wow. … It's just got to be stressed here: After Orpik went down, most of the Penguins' defensemen had their ice time stay at the norm, but Martin played a half-hour and was a force at both ends. He's been all that and more. … After Marc-Andre Fleury had gotten down with all the latest gee-didn't-you-used-to-be-terrible questions, one last New York reporter came by and tried another. Fleury, to his considerable credit, cut him off in mid-question and said, 'Copy and paste, you know. Just copy and paste.' Ha! … I didn't like the decision to scratch Robert Bortuzzo on a lot of levels, not least of which is that Orpik hadn't looked right all week in trying to come back. Dress seven D and play it safe. Dan Bylsma has had a very good series, but he got away with one there. … No one could like the way Orpik's knee gave out in that innocent collision with Mats Zuccarello, and one can't help but fear something bad. We'll see. … Rob Scuderi was the social media whipping boy with Bortuzzo's scratch, and not without merit. But other than a bad shift and a half, he was OK. Moot point now. He's playing. … I've been tough on Beau Bennett, so it's fair to underscore that he had a solid two-way game, even some good F3 work. … The Monster line can be maddening with how it hovers out on the perimeter, but they took what the Rangers gave them. Which was pretty much everything. … I really don't expect to be back here.
>> The Pirates, thanks to a strong-armed Gerrit Cole, took two of three from the high-flying Giants, Rob Biertempfel reports from PNC Park.
The smart early money is on Gregory Polanco and other elite prospects, by Travis Sawchik.
Couple thoughts of my own on Polanco: Try to picture the thought process of a young baseball player from the impoverished Dominican Republic, one who has yet to take his first cut in the majors, rejecting $25 million in guaranteed money. You'll at least begin to grasp Polanco's confidence. No matter what his agents or anyone else told him, that couldn't have been easy. Beyond that … really, I don't see how either side can be faulted, the Pirates for making their offer in the spring before Polanco had even begun to establish himself in Triple-A, or Polanco for believing in himself. And I'll continue to find no fault with the Pirates for keeping him in Triple-A until the Super-2 arbitration line passes. To repeat, it's just plain irresponsible to pay an estimated $15 million or more for a few weeks of anyone.

>> It's draft day!
The Steelers brace for the 15th overall pick, by beat man Alan Robinson.
The franchise and the world lost Bill Nunn, an NFL scouting legend, a pioneer for black players in professional football and a respected journalist. Obituary by Andrew Conte.
This will be the big day for mock drafts, including Mel Kiper's final, but I'm a Mike Mayock guy through and through. His only mock came out last night, and he's got the Steelers taking a corner … but not Darqueze Dennard. Kyle Fuller is coming up a lot this week.
Here's the Trib mock draft, done by Robinson, Mark Kaboly and Ralph Paulk.
Here's TribLIVE's Steelers page and our Steel Mill blog. I'll call attention again to the NFL Draft Primer published on this blog a couple days ago.

Purpose: Evaluation of stability and functional response after riboflavin-UVA–induced cross-linking in a population of patients younger than 18 years with progressive keratoconus after 36 months of follow-up.
Methods: Prospective nonrandomized phase II open trial conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Siena University, Italy. The "Siena CXL Pediatrics" trial involved 152 patients aged 18 years or younger (10–18 years) with clinical and instrumental evidence of keratoconus progression. The population was divided into 2 groups according to corneal thickness (>450 and <450 μm) at the time of enrollment. The riboflavin-UVA–induced corneal cross-linking was performed in all patients according to the standard epi-off protocol. Parameters recorded preoperatively and postoperatively were as follows: uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle–corrected visual acuity, corneal topography and surface aberrometry (CSO Eye Top topographer; Florence, Italy), optical pachometry (Visante OCT; Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany), and HRT II confocal microscopy (Rostock Cornea Module, Heidelberg, Germany).
Results: Functional data at 36 months showed an increase of +0.18 and +0.16 Snellen lines for uncorrected visual acuity and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, respectively, in the thicker group (corneal thickness >450 μm) and +0.14 and +0.15 Snellen lines, respectively, in the thinner group (corneal thickness <450 μm). Patients in the latter group already showed a better and faster functional recovery than the thicker group at 3-month follow-up. Topographic results showed statistically significant improvement in K readings and asymmetry index values. Coma reduction was also statistically significant.
Conclusions: The study demonstrated significant and rapid functional improvement in pediatric patients younger than 18 years with progressive keratoconus, undergoing riboflavin-UVA–induced cross-linking. In pediatric age, a good functional response and keratoconus stability was obtained after corneal cross-linking in a 36-month follow-up.

They say you can't go home again, and after this past weekend, depending on what happens, I might never be welcome in my great hometown of Winnipeg again.
You see, I can be a bit of a betting man. Not so much actual betting — I'm the guy who puts $5 in a VLT. If I lose the $5, I walk away. If I get up to $13, I cash out and walk away. The thrill of the gamble is lost on me.
However, throw in the more creative, imaginative stakes and I'm hooked. And, that is what happened last week.
You see, one of my cohorts, Darlene, at our sister office in Moose Jaw made me an offer I just couldn't refuse last week, even though a smart betting man would have said no. She suggested a little wager on the big game on Sunday.
So of course, how could I refuse?! But, the stakes are mammoth. If I lost, I have to wear a Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey all of next week. As a dyed-in-the-wool Blue Bomber fan since I was a little boy, just the thought of such a thing makes me melancholy.
Of course, there has to be consequences both ways, so she will have to march around Moose Jaw in a Bomber jersey this week if the Blue and Gold finally won a game on Labour Day in the Saskatchewan capital.
And, there's the worst part of my wager. With their current success rate of once a decade, betting on the Bombers to win is akin to picking the Washington Generals over the Harlem Globetrotters.
Although, now that I think about it, the last time I had to put on an enemy jersey, it was a lot of fun. About a decade ago, I attended a Blue Bomber game in Calgary against the Stampeders with a friend. She knew the guy who handled the Stamps promotions and on-field games and contests.
Well wouldn't you know it, he invited her (and I) to take part in a third quarter contest where we had to run halfway across the field and back again, carrying three huge three ring binders stacked on top of the other in each arm like we were servers at a restaurant.
The only catch, the disgusting catch, was we had to wear Stamps jerseys over top of our Bomber jerseys. I begrudgingly did so. Why not, it was a chance to win an iPod shuffle. Well, no surprise with my long stride, and much more fit body back then, I won pretty handily, and as I approached the finish, THAT was when inspiration struck!
As I crossed the finish line, I tossed down the binders, reached down and grabbed the bottom of the Stampeders jersey and pulled it off and threw it on the ground, and struck a pose in the Bomber jersey underneath.
It was such an epic moment! There was an audible gasp from the crowd, followed by the rather passionate booing of 35,000 people! It was so much fun. Ironically, it was the very next season that I took on the role as a CFL ballboy at Stamps games.
I was a little perturbed by the Stamps organization though. They invited all their in-game contest winners back for the final game for one last set of contests, with the winner earning a brand new iPod Touch. For some reason I just can't quite figure out, I never got that invite.
So, maybe if I am forced to wear Rider green all this week, I can take lemons and make lemonade (or watermelons and make…slices of watermelon?) and make the best of a bad situation. But, of course, in this betting with my heart instead of my head, I am hoping that my Bombers finally pulled this monkey off their back and got a win in Regina on Labour Day.
Then again, I'm also hoping I just made it out of Mosaic Stadium alive!

Army Beats Navy for Patriot League Title
by Ken McMillan| Special to Lacrosse Magazine Online | Game Blog
WEST POINT, N.Y.— The Army lacrosse team
wants to star in its own version of "Men in
Black,'' but there's no need to call Will Smith
and Tommy Lee Jones.
"Back to Black" was the theme for Army's third appearance in the Patriot League tournament final on Sunday. If Army beat rival Navy, the Black Knights would assuredly go on the road for its NCAA tournament opener in two weeks time and break out the road black jerseys. Coach Joe Alberici hung one in the Army locker room just to illustrate his point.
Mark the calendar for the weekend of May 15, because Army will make its first NCAA appearance in five years and 16th overall following an 11-8 victory over Navy before 2,078 fans at Michie Stadium on a hot, hazy and humid afternoon.
"We will be an underdog and at someone's place,'' said coach Joe Alberici, who leads Army into the NCAAs for the first time in his fifth season since replacing Hall of Famer Jack Emmer. "We will take who it is and do our best to game plan for them and stay with the formula that has been successful for us the last couple of months.''
Army's 1-4 start would be completely forgotten except for the fact Alberici keeps reminding his players of it to keep them humble. The Black Knights (10-5) have rolled off seven consecutive wins, and have won all eight of its Patriot League contests (including playoffs).
Army's best day, said Alberici, was perhaps one of Navy's worst, said Mids coach Richie Meade. Navy made far too many mistakes and Army made the Midshipmen pay dearly. Army was 4-for-7 with the extra man while holding Navy to 1-for-4 on man-ups. Navy turned the ball over 13 times to Army's 12, and the Mids were thoroughly outhustled for ground balls, 36-19.
Even Army's awful faceoff game – ranked 55th in the
nation – managed to win half of the 24 draws.
"I thought they (Army) played consistently well throughout the entire game," Meade said. "I think that this game was decided by mistakes, and Army made fewer mistakes than we did."
Navy finishes the season at 7-8, its first losing record since going 6-7 in 2003.
Army was led by three of its Patriot League all-stars. Junior Jeremy Boltus attackman had two goals and three assists. Garrett Thul – the league's rookie of the year – scored three times. Junior Tom Palesky, a second-team all-star, put the finishing touches on tourney MVP honors with 12 stops.
Navy picked up two goals apiece from Brendan Connors and leading goal scorer Patrick Moran. Second-leading scorer Andy Warner had just one. Goalie R.J. Wickham made eight saves.
Connors and Warner staked Navy to a 2-0 lead in the opening five minutes, but Army managed to move ahead 5-4 by halftime, with six Navy turnovers a major culprit in the second quarter.
"If we would have put a few more points on the board, it could have been a different game," Warner said.
Army surged to an 8-4 lead in the third quarter on goals by Tyler Oates, Andrew Maisano and Tyler Seymour.
The game certainly wasn't over, but the mental game had
been won.
"That separated us," said Boltus, who has 26 goals and a team-leading 63 points. "We scored to make it 6-4 and you sensed that. Their (Navy's) shoulders dropped a bit. I said to my guys, 'Hey, let's take advantage of that.' We got two more, and being poised and patient on offense really paid off."
Navy drew to within 8-6 on goals from Zack Schroeder and Connors, but Thul added to his freshman scoring record with his 38th goal, a wicked top-shelf shot from 12 yards out. Army's Sean O'Sullivan scored less than a minute later for a 10-6 lead with 8:12 left in regulation.
Navy managed goals from Evan Sullivan and Moran with less than three minutes remaining, but Army won its 11th faceoff, Palesky made a stop on Brian Striffler with 42 seconds left and Boltus added a kill shot with 11 seconds left.
"We put ourselves in too far a hole to come back late again," Warner said.
The Patriot League tourney title was the first for Army in an event that began in 2004 – the Black Knights earned an NCAA automatic qualifier as regular season champ in 2003.
It was also the first time Army has ever beaten Navy twice in one season in a series dating back to 1924 – Navy had won five earlier playoff meetings, including the Patriot tourney finals in 2005 and 2006.
"It's cool,'' Army co-captain Alex Gephart said. "There are no words adequately describe it.''
"It's not the way I wanted to go out," said Navy senior defender Gordon Lawson.

Roman Catholic Franciscan friars are giving up the historically Polish church they've led on the southeast side of Cleveland for more than a century.
The Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus will be turned over to the Cleveland Catholic diocese next summer. Church pastor Rev. Michael Surufka said his diminishing Franciscan order doesn't have the men to maintain the parish.
St. Stanislaus, founded in 1873, was taken over by the Franciscans in 1906.

In response to rhino's question about whether Matt MacKay lost his spot to Spencer Edwards — I think that's a little too black and white of an explanation. That being said without the emergence of Edwards the Warriors would have had 14 forwards and it's possible that MacKay would still be a Warrior.
So far the Warriors have used eight guys on the top two lines. The pairings of Bast-Howden and Frazee-Rowinski have been constant with Hood, Honejsek, Herman and Edwards (briefly) all getting time in the top six. The way they're playing I think the Edwards-Smuk-Paradis line is growing as a unit and is being counted upon as a shutdown third line even more. They did a good job against Red Deer's top line Wednesday and Hunchak used that match-up against Regina's top line when he could a week ago.
So if you already have Hood, Honejsek and Herman trying to fight for two spots in the top six, where does MacKay fit in that mix? As a 1990-born player there's is there any point in playing him in a fourth line role consistently, never mind that an energy line kind of role doesn't particularly suit his skill set in the first place.
I'm sure the fans have their opinion about whether he deserved a top-six role with the personnel the Warriors have.
In case you were wondering, in Swift Current MacKay started the game with Edwards and MacMaster (with Smuk still suspended and Paradis on the fourth line) and in the home opener against Prince Albert he played with Smuk and Edwards (while Paradis was again on the third line). He was then healthy scratched for the next two games.
There are still questions about where the other odd-man out in the top-six goes. Herman was healthy scratched for three games and Hood was on the fourth line Wednesday. That internal pressure to perform and preserve your role on the team is something the Warriors brass seems to like and it seems to be working by keeping everyone on their toes.
In Medicine Hat I'm sure MacKay will be motivated to prove he can score at the WHL level and that he deserves a top-six role. Edwards has certainly proven that a change of scenery and a second (or third) chance can do wonders for a player.
It is too bad that the first 'second-generation Warrior' wasn't able to finish his career in Moose Jaw as his father had, but he'll get a second chance to show he can produce in the league and hopefully he does well.
Thanks for the comments and patience as we work out some small technical issues on the new site. We finally have the program recognizing paragraph returns so hopefully it will continue to get more 'user friendly.'

Bryan Caplan says: "I wish to clone myself and raise the baby as my son."
Tyler Cowen goads his readers with this paragraph from Bryan Caplan's blog:
I confess that I take anti-cloning arguments personally. Not only do they insult the identical twin sons I already have; they insult a son I hope I live to meet. Yes, I wish to clone myself and raise the baby as my son. Seriously. I want to experience the sublime bond I'm sure we'd share. I'm confident that he'd be delighted, too, because I would love to be raised by me. I'm not pushing others to clone themselves. I'm not asking anyone else to pay for my dream. I just want government to leave me and the cloning business alone. Is that too much to ask?

I just want government to leave me and the cloning business alone. Is that too much to ask?
Then, Cowen being Cowen, he asks his readers to share their thoughts as to why or why not cloning should be allowed. His blog, Marginal Revolution, is known for having an impressive readership, but the vast majority of comments boiled down to simplistic and poorly constructed arguments. Anti-cloning arguments as drawn from the MR thread can be reduced to the following:
1. Yuk! a la Leon Kass. This is not a rational argument, but in fact is supported by the instinctual revulsion to the concept.
2. Caplan, as a stand in for anyone who wants a clone, is arrogant, vain, and an egomaniac.
These first two points aren't even arguments, just gut reactions with no warrant.
3. Cloning reduces genetic diversity.
4. Cloning will be psychologically harmful to the child.
5. Cloning will be physically harmful to the child.
6. Cloning will complicate legal/domestic situations.
None of these cases hold water.
3a. Cloning no more alters genetic diversity than having twins does. Issues of genetic diversity would only arise if most births were of the same clone, not if lots and lots of different people each had clones. A population of 50,000 is sufficient for genetic diversity.
3b. It is reasonable to assume that a society in which cloning is perfected would have some degree of genetic engineering. If cloning is possible, then genetic safeties and enhancements are likely possible, further negating problems of diversity.
4a. Being a twin is not psychologically harmful. No precedent.
4b. Any child raised in a neglectful, abusive, or manipulative household will be traumatized. There is no evidence that a cloned child would be any more subject to these problems than any other. Given the extra and deliberate steps necessary to create a clone, one might argue the child would be more wanted and cherished, therefore in an above average situation.
4c. The primary threat of psychological trauma comes from outside the family, among those who used arguments (1) and (2) to argue that cloning is inherently wrong. Those individuals who are disgusted by cloning would be the very people who would damage the child's psyche through indirect insults, questioning the child's humanity, and general revulsion.
5a. No sane proponent of cloning (and Caplan is quite sane) advocates the process if it is unsafe. Animal testing must be thorough, rigorous, and successes conclusive and easily repeatable. As with any other process, such as IVF, there will be risks early on, but those risks must first be at or below the level of standard, unassisted pregnancy before experiments on humans are even considered.
5b. Safe, successful cloning would, by definition, have no complications or affects on the child of note. If this is the case, cloning is no more physically dangerous than being a twin.
6a. Identity is not determined by genetics, identical twins prove this. The law would be no different than it is for identical twins. The clone would have a new social security number, new birth certificate, and the rest of the grid (school enrollment, passport number, drivers license, etc) would fall into place, entrenching and reinforcing the individual identity of that person, just as it does for all of us.
6b. Issues of "raising oneself" or "falling in love again with the clone of one's wife" or abusing one's clone as "masturbation" demonstrate not problems of cloning but the various strains of pathology running through the minds of commenters. Most of us have a friend who looks "just like" their parent did at a given age, with similar quirks, interests, physical affectations and behaviors. No one would make the above arguments in the later case. Gross oversimplification of psychology and parent/child relationships is required to even consider these points. I often am at a loss to address these arguments because they require such a demented and pathological view of humanity I feel there is no hope of convincing those who believe them.
There is one real moral objection to cloning: right now, cloning is an unproven and verifiably dangerous process. The chances of the child not coming to term at all, being born fatally deformed or under-developed, having life shortening and worsening complications, and/or being developmentally disabled are so high as to make it a crime to attempt to clone now.
Only a few clones of any species exist in the world currently. Until the process is proven safe, reliable, and to have no more risk of complications than "natural" reproduction among non-human species, it would and will be a moral violation to even begin experimenting with human cloning.
The process is so new, I suspect Caplan will not live to see a world in which cloning is safe enough for him to reproduce that way. But when the technology is ready and safe, then there is no reasonable moral or ethical case for prohibition of the process.
I read things like this with no ick factor just rampant confusion as to why anyone would feel compelled to remake themselves? Cloning, while not a bad thing, to me raises a host of questions about why the parent seeks to replicate themself. What is the driving factor to copy vs. procreate in a (more) genetically original form. I don't object I am just curious abou the drive behind such endeavors.
Caplan says he would love to have himself as a parent. Indeed, that may be so, but why is it that he fells the need to parent a duplicate of himself. I am forced to question if it may be some deficiency he perceives in his own upbringing, or even a question of why he feels he would bond so much better with a clone vs the twins he already has? These are all questions, not answers. I wish I could pick his brain for answers.
Jenn, I wonder if the answer to your question has anything to do with this sentence:
"Tyler Cowen goads his readers with this paragraph from Bryan Caplan's blog…"
Maybe it's just about goading. Perhaps Caplan's desire to have a clone of himself is less about having a clone of himself and more about goading those folks (usually on the religious side of the spectrum) who resist pro-cloning efforts.
Just a thought.
Such is connectedness… Even as I read this, I flip channels and what appears? Aeon Flux! Much psychological and ethical trauma concerning cloning! its only another movie yet "minds are unravelling"!
@Jenn: Your post raises legitimate and useful questions, but the problem is when those questions are used to prohibit others from acting. We don't talk about laws around drugs or violence based on deep psychological motivation, we talk about direct moral consequences. Caplan's reason for wanting a cloned child is irrelevant to whether or not cloning itself is moral.
@Frank: Agreed. The Caplan/Cowen/Hanson triumvirate are particularly good at triggering reaction so they can study and better understand that very reaction. I never know how often they're experimenting on their readers.
I have three children, two of which are my biological offspring. When people ask me if I'll ever raise more, I glide past the possibility of getting remarried and doing it the old-fashioned way. Instead, I toy with the possibility of raising a clone. I have no reticence about telling this to anyone willing to listen. Of course it's easy to anticipate the sort of responses outlined by Kyle in his post. Pointing out that twins are are genetic clones usually serves to at least take the edge off these objections, if not silent them altogether.
I'm also careful to make the observation that the "clone" would be an entirely distinct person, and I wouldn't even consider burdening him with my name. Then I stress that the clone in all likelihood wouldn't even BE genetically identical to me since I would only be a TEMPLATE for the more advanced Mark 2 version (I'm halfway kidding about the "Mark 2" business). By this point, most people are so baffled they move on to talk about something else.
Actually that is the same tack I take on drug use and on a number of other issues. I don't want to limit peoples choices but I do question a number of things, and Reproductive motivation is always a question to me. I do have children. I do realize that a lot of people procreate with minimal contemplation. And as a nurse I see the consequences of that frequently. I am not saying lets legislate, or even disparaging choices. I just am always curious about motivating factors.
Ummm… #1. Yuk
No..be constructive. If you do more than one, you should probably implant chips with ID's. They ARE gonna get mixed up.
Oh..wait. That won't matter anyway till you can tell them apart somehow then the problem solves itself.

Cummins in a 54' Chevy truck
I just purchased a 1954 Chevy Pickup. So far I have gotten mixed reviews about my plan for it, but I am not an expert whatsoever, I just have a very creative mind and decided to see if anyone could tell me if this idea is possible. I would like to put a 12valve 5.9 Cummins motor and 5 speed manual tranny in for the drivetrain. What would be the best route to this as far as frame, rear end, and suspension. Should I be looking to use everything out of a Dodge Ram? Can i keep my stock frame and just reinforce it? Can I put a ford 9" rear behind that drivetrain? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks, Orlando
I've got a good friend that has already done a Cummins conversion in an older late 40's White (brand name) truck. He used a 80's Chevy 1 ton chassis and dually rearend. He said the early Dodge chassis was poorly made and the suspensions weren't as strong as the GM chassis is. The Cummins engines is pretty heavy and needs a lot of support to hold it up.
I know because I blew the seals out of my 2 ton Snap-on floor jack raising the frontend up on my 97' Dodge that has a Cummins in it.
The old truck that he built is really neat and he says he gets 23mpg on the highway with it, He is currently starting a build on another 40's International 1 ton and he is going the same route with the 1 ton GM chassis, so I guess he is pretty happy with the first one he built.
I have a 54 Chevy half ton that is my daily driver with a small block in it and I have another body in my back yard that I have considered doing a Cummins conversion with, but it would be a really tight fit to get that much motor in one of those trucks. I'm pretty sure it would have to go thru the firewall and into the cab because of the lenght of the Cummins. I haven't done any measuring yet, but the Cumminss is a lot longer engine than a small block Chevy is.
Thanks for that info, so it seems like my idea isnt too unattainable then. I have read about a few 50's trucks with cummins 12valves in them and I remember them talking about having to push the firewall back. If thats my only major setback I think thats some good news. As far as the chevy frame and rearend, those would most likely have to be modified since the 54 chevy truck is narrower and shorter im guessing?
I'll bet the frame will hold it without mods. It's probably a few hundred pounds more than the 235/3spd it has now. somthing like 1k pounds... You may consider the cheaper version dropping 2 cyls and get a 4BT out of a bread truck. They can still crank the power, but weigh in at about 750 lbs. The old 235 itself is like 650 lbs..
Another thing you could do is start with a 1 ton + truck, shorten the frame to fit a box, and put the DRW rear in from a '55-'57 GM 3/4 ton or greater, and widen the fenders to fit the DRW. Those parts should be really cheap as there is basically no market for them, but you could put any diesel in it you wanted, and you wouldn't have to worry about the chassis
Do a google with these terms - "1954 Chevy pickup frame" - and you will come up with a lot of photos of '54 vintage Chevies and chassis. To me, without major reinforcing, looks to be pretty spindly for that much added torque over the little 6 that was originally there. As far as using a regular, stripped from a passenger car 9" - well it sure isn't the 9.25 floating axle Dana
Irelands child
Installing a diesel is no easy task..unless you are an accomplished diesel mechanic..I think I would look for a complete 1 ton dually with a diesel and do a cab swap myself..
this would result in a good working truck that is useful to you...
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Thanks for all the input guys. I guess i need to take a look at my local junk yard and see what they have. Maybe this is a dumb question but why do i need to look for a dually rear? Is that just the best rear to handle the power from a cummins? Will any frame from a 90's silverado work? Because there are quite a few of those at the local pull&pay. As far as the 4bt goes...i looked into those motors but they seem just as expensive and hard to find as the 6bt. How much power can you really get out of them? Ive heard up to 300-350 but I also want to get somewhat decent gas mileage.
What is wrong with using a Dodge frame that had a Cummins in it to start with?
I wouldnt bother with a "dually" rear end unless you are going to run duals.
9" Ford would be my preferred choice is I didnt want to usea Dana 60 that came with the Dodge pickup frame.
I'd have to agree with using the original Dodge frame and just use a single rear wheel axel. Much more common. A minimum Dana 70 rear end. I seriously doubt the 9 in Ford would hold up with out expensive mods. Depends on how you drive and what you use the truck for. The Dodge chassis will have all the beef, brakes, fuel system and other items you need.
The 12 valve weighs in the ballpark of 1000 pounds....twice what a sbc weighs. A 1 ton Dodge with a turbo Cummins diesel weighs around 7000 pounds rolling. My 24 valve dually weighs 7500 with full tank of fuel.
As for power it is not much of a trick to get 350 road hp and 650 to 700 ft lbs torque. Add this to a 5 speed truck trans and you can get serious rear end overload.
Look at Diesel truck resource board. DTR.com
or Turbo Diesel register.
These have conversion threads and are very knowledgeable on the Cummins motors.
Okay, so my next question would be can I use any 90's dodge ram frame and front suspension or does it have to be one that had a diesel in it?
I'd use a complete 3/5 ton diesel truck chassis. This gives you everything you need for the diesel and all the correct suspension and wiring and radiator. You will need the lift pump and at least a good plastic tank preferably new and absolutely clean. Much of today's diesel fuel has bio diesel in it which is a good solvent so if there is any residue in the tank it will come loose. You need a very good filter from the tank to the lift pump 10 micron or less and free flowing so the lift pump can pull thru it. You surely do not want to start out with a contaminated fuel sysytem.

Tips for Traveling With a Laptop
Few business travelers dare to venture on a trip to another city, another state or another country without their trusty laptops. Since it's a useful tool to help with both your professional and personal life, utilize these tips to get the most out of traveling with your laptop.
For starters, make sure that you have a really good case for your laptop. Choose one that's not a designated "laptop" case to defer theft, especially if you have to leave it in an overhead bin or in your hotel room while you're at meetings. Since you want one that's not designated for a laptop, you still need to have the special features, such as padding and extra pockets for your plug, that typical laptop bags would have.
Take only the necessary accessories for your laptop. Leave extra storage drives and USB plugs back home. Bring along an extra battery, the laptop plug, and any peripherals that will be essential to the business you need to conduct during your trip. It's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared, but you'll regret weighing yourself down with too many extras.
If you are traveling internationally, adapters will more than likely be necessary. The size of the plugs and power requirements vary depending on your destination country so check on these factors and buy the adapters ahead of time. You can easily purchase them online if your local electronics store doesn't carry them.
If you have insurance or warranty papers for your laptop, be sure to pack them with your other important papers. Leave copies back home, too. The same should be true of any important paperwork that you are taking on a trip.
Before you pack your laptop, be sure to back up the entire hard drive on your computer, or at least back up all important documents. You never know what can happen on your trip, and you don't want to risk losing important business documents or personal treasures that are stored on your laptop if it gets lost, missing or damaged. Prepare for the worst and expect the best for your business trip.
Also, be sure that your laptop battery is fully charged and in your laptop before packing it to go. This is important just in case that you need to boot it up during the airport check-in or security check points.
Know your rights. If you have a very expensive device and are worried about breakage, politely request a manual inspection when it comes time to go through security lines. Not all airport security personnel will comply, but many of them will. This has the added bonus of letting you avoid the risk of theft as the laptop travels through the X-ray machine. Some laptops are stolen in this process if people get distracted or lose track of their correct bags.
A metal detector can erase vital data on your computer, but an X-ray machine cannot, so be sure to choose your battles carefully. Being polite and professional will serve you well. Remember that you are a representative of your business, and losing your cool over a small matter can reflect very badly on you. Be kind and polite. Always explain your position and be willing to compromise. Protect your laptop while also being considerate.
Try to keep the laptop in clear sight for the duration of your flight to deter theft as well. Never put it in a larger suitcase that you plan to check, and try to keep it out of overhead bins whenever possible.

Cris' Animal Friends Critter of the Week for March 1st:
Gulliver & Gia Marie
Gulliver and Gia Marie were confiscated from a neglectful situation by Animal Friends' Humane Officers. They were living outside without water, food and very little protection from the elements. They lived in small and filthy confined areas and relied mostly on neighbors for their food. Today, they feel much better!
Gulliver is a little nervous when meeting new people. He has made good progress in this area and our volunteers are happy to report they are receiving kisses from him now.
When Gia Marie first came to Animal Friends, she was so scared that she had to be carried outside to potty because she would simply not walk on a leash. Now, volunteers can go in to her room and she'll give kisses and licks! She loves spending time in our play yards rough housing with her brother, Gulliver.
Gulliver is loving but timid at the same time, which isn't surprising considering his past. Gulliver loves the outdoors and flies around like the wind in our fenced play yards with Gia Marie.
Both Gia and Gulliver will need to find a homes with adults (and older children) who can dedicate time to helping them on their journey of feeling loved, cared for and secure.
If you are that special person, stop by and meet Gia Marie and Gulliver soon.

Thanks for tuning in Subject:CINEMA, closing in on beginning our EIGHTH Year of podcast fun….(gasp!) One more week to 400 shows!
EMAIL: email@example.com
TOLL FREE HOTLINE 1-888-214-9311 (US and Canada)
Sorry we missed last week – the heat wave made it too hot to record – but we're making it up to you with a HUGE THREE HOUR OPUS this week – listen in spurts if you want, or tackle the whole thing at once, but either way, you're gonna LOVE IT! In this episode:
- A look at the incredibly innovative (some might say completely bugsnit crazy) view of the world through the eyes of one of our favorite auteurs, Canada's very own Guy Maddin!
- PLUS: A debate on the impending casting job on Doctor Who now that Matt Smith has announced his regeneration, er, departure from the series
- This weeks' Bonehead of the Week
- We pay our respects to Jean Stapleton and Esther Williams
- We pay tribute to three respected members of the storm chasing community who lost their lives in the line of duty
- We outline the war launched this week between old nemesises (is that even a word?) Nikki Finke and Sharon Waxman
- Your E-mail
- and full reviews of TRIUMPH OF THE WALL, THE KINGS OF SUMMER, and NOW YOU SEE ME!
- Oh, and there's also an unintentional recording we shared – we left the recorder on while watching TV this week, and happened to catch a very interesting TV show we know S:C Fans will love, because, well, they were talking about US! Be sure to catch it, right smack dab in the center of this weeks' show!
We had intended to review two other movies this week, but our Maddin discussion got out of hand, and so reviews of PAVILION and CITIZEN HEARST will have to wait until next weekend.
Next Weekend, we will have a DOUBLE FEATURE Weekend – Saturday it's "The Complete TITANIC!" and Sunday is OUR 400th SHOW and also our SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY – join us as we count up our top 30 films we watch over and over and over again…
This week's Subject:CINEMA is dedicated to three people who gave their lives so that others may have a chance to live in the future – storm chasers Tim Samaras, Carl Young, and Paul Samaras.
We've been talking about our Boston Springs A Fethival PDF for a while now – and you're gonna have to wait until early July for this, because instead of being a separate PDF, it has been decided to incorporate our Boston festival coverage as part of a project that is coming on Sunday, July 7th. Please stay tuned to Subject:CINEMA in future weeks for more information…and trust me you're gonna love it!
Also, we've had a few listeners write in to let us know that something weird has been happening in our podcasts the last two weeks; we appear to be getting messages from something called "The 2.0" forced into our show…not sure how it's happening yet – Mevio sez it's not them – but I'm working hard to try and find the cause and the problem, and hopefully we'll figure out where it's coming from…and keep writing if you hear it again…

Cleaning Concrete Here are tips for cleaning concrete. You can do indoor and outdoor cleaning services in your house cleaning business. Think big!
As a professional home cleaner, you may find yourself with a client that is in need of outdoor concrete cleaning. Offering these services is a great way to expand your client list and menu of house cleaning services, and it requires very little extra investment from you. With just a few simple tools, you will be able to offer outdoor concrete cleaning, and make your clients very happy.
Tools and Cleaning Agents
The easiest way to clean outdoor concrete is with a power washer or pressure washer, and a cleaning agent. You can purchase a pressure washer rather inexpensively, and it can be used for a number of cleaning jobs, from cleaning concrete to cleaning a customer's vinyl siding on their home. You will not need to purchase an extremely high powered pressure washer, a simple pressure washer designed for home use will do.
You will also need to have a number of different cleaning agents on hand, so that you can easily remove any stains that the client may have on their concrete. For general cleaning of dirt and debris, plain water can be used. This is not only the easiest and most cost effective method, but also the most environmentally friendly.
If the concrete has graffiti, rust, or grease and oil stains, you will need to use special cleaning agent to remove the stains. For grease and oil stains, you will need to stock an alkaline degreaser in your cleaning supply to sufficiently remove the stain. For graffiti, you will need some type of chemical stripper to effectively remove the pain. and for rust stains, a cleanser that contains oxalic acid will help to penetrate the concrete and remove the stain.
It is important that you are completely knowledgeable of the chemicals that you are using to clean the outdoor concrete. In some locations, certain chemicals may be prohibited and can result in a hefty fine if they are used.
It is best to try and find a cleansing agent that will not only get the job done, but is also biodegradable and environmentally friendly, so you do not have to worry about water runoff while cleaning.
Remember...green cleaning is cool! (And you can charge a premium for being environmentally conscious).
Before power washing the client's outdoor concrete, make sure and perform a throughout evaluation and consultation with the client. If there are plants or special landscaping around the concrete, you should make sure the client understands that these areas will get wet.
Ask if they need to be covered. This will help to ensure that there are no unexpected surprises and that you are providing the job exactly to the client's expectations.

Although Americans aren't jumping to buy electric vehicles(EVs), it looks like this time the investment in them will stick.
This week, Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu gave a speech at the Detroit Auto Show about the progress being made on bringing down the costs of batteries - the biggest cost for EVs.
He expects the cost for electric car batteries to drop 70% by 2015, down from a whopping $12,000 in 2008 to $3500 by 2015 and $1500 by 2020.
Chu also sees breakthroughs coming in the batteries themselves, moving beyond lithium-ion to lithium-air, lithium-sulfur and various versions of metal-air.
DOE's new Energy Innovation Hub opens later this year, through which scientists, engineers and business experts will strive to develop more advanced, fast-charging, longer lasting batteries.
The Obama Administration's proposed fuel economy standards are essential to the success of EVs. It's those requirements to raise fuel economy that are behind auto manufacture efforts to produce the vehicles.
The first hearing on the 54.5 mile standards takes place today in Detroit, followed by Philadelphia (January 19) and San Francisco (January 24).
93% of the public supports the standards. 13 automakers and dealers support the standards, as well as labor unions. The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) opposes them however, along with some House Republicans.
We encourage you to submit a comment in support of the standards here:

The only way that Mr Chu could be right over the next four years, is if all the lithiums are replaced by lead carbon as in the new Axion battery

Germany's DBM Energy's range-record breaking, cost-slashing, prestigious-award-winning, DEKRA+BAM lithium Kolibri cells are being ignored by the corporate/automotive/media establishment. Why ? Because they're here NOW - not the year after manana ....see EVUK for more-or-less exclusive English-language reports, videos, govt endorsements etc. Samsung offered DBM 600 million for the rights - DBM turned them down, thankfully.
5000 charge cycles - 200-400 miles/charge. Axion "Lead Carbon" - beat that life-expectancy(!)
