Leahwulfsgirl 5pts Eirelass, I have been in your shoes a few times and I know who I am and what I am , so now I ignore the ones that have no smarts and who think they have a brain and have none.... So thank you to you for coming back and hope you keep coming back..And you are very welcome. You are a very informative lady and so kind and good of you to help so many people out...Good Luck to You.
Eirelass 5pts Have not played in a long time. Went through the messages due to not being here. Back again. Some folks may not like it. I read a message that was a little unkind but I can roll with it for I found one that was very nice. So, that helped to make my day. Thank you @Leahwulfsgirl..
dreamr1608barnes 5pts LOVE this game! It's the perfect way to spend my day while I'm healing from a shoulder surgery.
SharonSmithFusel 5pts Good game to help we elder keep our minds a little more active . Play it daily. Guess you could say I am addicted to it buy, there are worse things to be addicted to.be addicted to..
Leahwulfsgirl 5pts Well this is what I think Eireless is a brilliant lady...and has the smarts,,she is queen of the walk and talk.................
memphistigress 5pts Eireless is a bragging A**- who do you think you are??? queen of the walk...please -people like you make me sick!
PISUNNYB 5pts Love this game, have been playing it "forever". I don't know for sure about the scoring tho. The above high scores are awesome. My score doesn't change from game time to game time. Thought it kept adding on each time you checked off for the time being. Would someone please explain. Thanx
JoyGlenn01 5pts Have been having trouble playing on games. I can't get on. It won't accept my password. firstname.lastname@example.com
qunclst 5pts eirelass - thank you for responding; I did as you said and now I am keeping my score; thank you for your help
EGHNW27 5pts DOES THIS MEAN THAT BOOKWORM IS NOT FREE ONLY FOR ONE TIME? AND THEN YOU MUST PAY TO PLAY IT HENCSEFORTH. IF THAT IS THE CASE, HOW OFTEN WILL YOU GET TO BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR . I HAVE HAD BOOKWORM BEFORE YEARS AGO, BUT NOW, IT COMES WITH EXTRA DOLLARS EVEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN UPPED THREE TIMES IN CHARGES BUT NEVER ABLE TO GET WHAT I USED TO GET AND YET YOU DO MORE AND MORE ADS WHICH ARE BORING AND YOU GET PAID FOR THOSE TOO. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF RECESSIONARY CONDITIONS ON PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND THEIR ONLY ENTERTAINMENT IS OFFERED WITH ANOTHER COST. THIS IS MOST PERPLEXING. WILL THE LITTLBOOK OF TREASURES BE GOING DOWN THE SAME ROAD? IF SO, I'LL START PUTTING MY MONEY IN GAMES I CAN PLAY OFF LINETHIS IS INDICATIVE OF ARIANNA HUFF, SINCE PC'S ARE GOING OBSOLETE, ANYHOW. I SPENT AN HOUR AND A HALF GETTING ON BOOKWORM TONIGHT, SO I GUESS YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN WASTE MY TIME, WITH THOUGHTLESS ADVERTISING.
Eirelass 5pts I know procaninbarb accused me of being a shill for this site. It seems a while back this person was enjoying the games and not the ads. This is what procaninbarb wrote:procaninbarbJan 12, 2013The game works just fine for me. The only problem I have is the length and number of commercials you force us to sit through. I decided a while back that I would not purchase any product from the companies advertising on your site and so far that is working. Sometimes the game will come up and go right past the ad and then I'll play.
siobhankerry 5pts I used to love to play The Book of Treasures, but I can't anymore because it won't load. The little wheel thingy just keeps going round and round. Can I fix this?
procaninbarb 5pts Another change to the look of the screen rather than fixing the problems identified by many. Eirelass, now it's your turn to tell all of us how much better things are. Your last post seems to confirm my thought that you are actually a schill for this site!
jlg21447 5pts I like the play button on the game card. Used to play a lot. Too bad I can't get any of the games to load now. Could it be the ad blocking app from my antivirus program that's causing the problem?
Eirelass 5pts There have been many complaints about the new game site, I hope the changes that have recently occurred have pleased those folks.
jemma316 5pts @hrvba7 If you exit fast after clicking on wrong game sometimes you can save your points.
Eirelass 5pts @hrvba7 Points lost is points lost. You cannot get them back. I lost mine once. It is so easy, just one wrong click. Guess we all live on that pointy edge. Just start over. I did. Good luck.
jemma316 5pts @PISUNNYB You need to put in words from left to right--small first, then four letter, etc. This makes score much bigger.
Eirelass 5pts @Rubina222 It should load on to iPad. You can ask Google that question. Google has many answers.
Eirelass 5pts @qunclst So happy I was able to help you. And, I am glad that my directions were clear enough for you to follow.
Eirelass 5pts @EGHNW27 Played Bookworm this evening, Turkey Day, and did not find any problems. It just kept going and going. I played 2 games and the third started when I left it. There were no extra ads. So maybe there has been a change since you wrote back in June and this is November. Always click on red banner on bottom to keep game going. I tells you what to do in a way. If you somehow click off, you will have to reload the game and get another ad.
Eirelass 5pts @EGHNW27 I have not been on this site for some time. And I have not played Bookworm for a long time. I will look into it and see what is happening. You are probably right about what you are writing.
PISUNNYB 5pts Good grief, must you yell to get your point across???? Apparently so, but sure is rude.
Eirelass 5pts @qunclst The only versionthat keeps your score is Quest. Only click on Quest on menu page and answer yes to continue. Also, do you "exit game" before leaving site or moving to another game.
MAIDEZ 5pts @siobhankerry make sure you do not have ad blocker active on your page...this could be it
Eirelass 5pts @siobhankerry Do you have a tool bar running from Google or Yahoo or some other site? Too many tool bars will use up too much of your memory. Those tool bars, some of them, constantly reload. I justgot a new mouse and everything is working faster than before. Consider the mouse. The other thing, have you cleaned up your registry and defraged your hard drive.
Eirelass 5pts @procaninbarb How can you say such things. I know you are doing this for entertainment. You have a great gaming record on this site and I shall quote it again: Here I am again with this note that was posted before, in case you missed it: For someone who has soooo much trouble with these games and they do not work for you: How in heavens name did you acquire 109199 STARS, 14 BADGES and 169 GAMES played. Now all of the players know you have no honor. And you spell shill wrong. Get a dictionary.
Eirelass 5pts @procaninbarb I have never been a shill for any one or anything in my life. I cannot help it if my retired IT manager husband is able to keep my old laptop in tip top shape. I had freezing here and there too, but IT husband fixed the problem through Adobe Flash. I speak my mind and always have. Was asked to leave the courtroom by the judge and prosecutor during jury selection due to my questioning their procedures. You have insulted me. One thing I wish this site had was instant save like Google does when writing something. This is my third or fourth time around. Never ever call me something I am not. My son is a game designer and programmer and my daughter works for a university in the communications department after spending 20 years in the newspaper business as a designer and manager of Creative Services Department. She became the Mac Tech at the paper due to no one else there able or willing to do it. So I come from a long line of computer knowledgeable family. My son would inform you that it takes a long time to solve problems with a game site and a game. Longer than you can imagine for there is so much code to go through. All three of my family learned computers on their own: Self taught. And my daughter has won many awards for her graphics work and is teaching herself code for websites. I think I know of what I write. Do not call me or any one else on this game site or any other game site a schill.My only impression of you is you are a person without honor.
Eirelass 5pts @jlg21447 I know some people do not care for my posts, like above, but I just asked my husband and the ad blocking app could be doing this. Not all ad blockers are the same. A site (server) can have problems. Leave game and turn off computer. Go back and try again. If this does not work, it could be a tool bar you downloaded and need to get rid of due to them constantly updating. Tools bars such as Google and Yahoo or any other site out there.
coldhart2001 5pts @Eirelass @procaninbarb do you know the answer game locks up when trying to load has happen before but "games" sent me the fix but i forgot what it sais to do ....sorry to bother u
Eirelass 5pts @coldhart2001 I do not play the answer game and would not know why it locks up. I do know that sometimes if you have too many tool bars loaded, it will slow your computer due to the tool bars are constantly updating. Your registry might need a clean up too. I do not know about any fix from "games". You might have to ask them again.

I have an 07 classic with the 4.8 in it, is it possible to swap the 4.8 out and put a 5.3 in? Ive heard the blocks are the same, but wouldnt i need the wiring harness and computer to run the 5.3?

07-18-2010, 03:20 AM #3basically this is a direct bolt in then? im trying to find out as much as i can cause im thinking about buying a 5.3 and modifying the engine. im not sure if i want to stroke the engine or just bore it over.
07-18-2010, 03:26 AM #4Basic bolt in yep.. same tranny, and motor mounts. And plugs for the wiring. With a modified motor you will want a custom tune either way.
07-18-2010, 03:30 AM #5i knew if i get the ecu for the 5.3 i still would have to get a custom tune since i was going to modify the motor. ive also heard the 6.0 would be a bolt up too, but i want to take a smaller displacement motor and build it.
07-18-2010, 03:46 AM #6Well the 5.3L is the way to go, there are a lot of aftermarket parts available for it. And why not just build you 4.8L up as much as possible then go with forced induction for another 40-50% power increase???
07-19-2010, 05:36 PM #7i still want to drive the truck while i build the motor, its basically my only transportation at this moment. i have thought about building a 4.8 but its hard to find peformance parts for it.
07-19-2010, 05:47 PM #8If you go to far with the 5.3 power than you need to make the tranny more durable. If its a daily driver I would bore it, balance and blue print and add a nice mild street cam. Call CompCams after you decide what you are going to build and let them recommend a cam. Add header,exhaust and CAI and tune and it will be a good reliable dailey driver. Make sure you use the best machine shop you can fined for your machine work. I have a friend in Florida that did this to his 06 5.3 and its a really nice driver. He took it on several long trips and said it got good gas mileage and had good power when he needed it.

The last battle over raising the federal government's debt limit resulted in the Budget Control Act of 2011 that mandates $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years, beginning January 2013. One likely place federal spending will be reduced is in payments to state governments for operation of mandated programs. Some on the receiving end view the trend as unfunded mandates and unwanted competition for already strained resources. Others see the shift as federalism in action; reevaluation of the roles of national and sub-national governments and an opportunity for more local control. In 1995, this philosophy helped drive reform of several aid programs into the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Act. TANF replaced several long-standing federal programs with block grants to states, giving them more flexibility in designing their own limits and requirements within general guidelines. The House Budget Committee's budget resolution for Fiscal Year 2013, perhaps the most aggressive budget plan offered in Congress and the only one to pass a chamber, calls for similar changes to Medicaid. The proposal, authored by committee chairman Congressman Paul Ryan, would convert the joint federal-state program into block grants to the states. Projected to save $810 billion in federal spending over 10 years, the block granting of Medicaid would constrain the program's ballooning costs.

Chevy Tahoe 5.7L GAS 1996-1999, Stage 1 Cold Air Intake System with Pro DRY S Air Filter (51-10531) by aFe®. The Stage 1 Cold Air Intake System is a quick and inexpensive way to gain horsepower and improve performance. It replaces your factory air filter and airbox with an aFe Pro DRY S air filter and open element airbox/heat shield, dramatically increasing airflow to your engine. For a little bit of time and money you'll get a noticeable gain in low end torque and horsepower.
- Improves airflow to your engine
- Isolates the air filter from engine heat, enabling it to take in cooler, denser air
- Increases horsepower and torque, improves performance
- Designed and tested for each specific application
- Includes a conical high performance aFe Pro DRY S air filter; it never needs oiling
- Comes complete with everything required for installation, including comprehensive instructions
- Can be installed in 30-60 minutes with simple hand tools; no drilling, cutting or fabrication required
- Limited 2-year warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
If you're on a budget or don't have a lot of time to work on your vehicle, don't think you have to forget about getting more performance or fuel mileage from your car or truck. The aFe Stage 1 Cold Air Intake System is inexpensive and can be installed in an hour or less with simple hand tools. This system replaces your factory air filter and airbox with an aFe Pro DRY S air filter and a one-piece open element airbox/heat shield that seals against the hood, isolating the filter from engine heat. The increased flow of cooler air to your engine will result in noticeable gains in power and performance. Cooler, denser air contains more oxygen, and more oxygen in your engine's air intake charge means better combustion, resulting in greater engine output.
The one-piece airbox/heat shield is made of rugged 16-gauge powder coated steel. It installs easily in place of the factory airbox; no cutting or drilling is required. The box/shield is attached with quality stainless steel hardware that is supplied with the kit. A specially developed 3-angle velocity stack smoothes the airflow transition from the air filter to the intake tube. Top quality, flexible rubber trim at the top of the box/shield seals against the hood when it is closed, shielding the air filter from engine heat and allowing it to take in cooler air. Some systems include a powder coated steel or brushed aluminum cover to further shield the filter.
The Pro DRY S filter combines high airflow and filtration efficiency with the convenience of oil-free maintenance. It contains 2 layers of randomly porous synthetic fabric, which allows approximately twice the airflow when compared to a typical stock air filter. The increased airflow results in more horsepower and torque, better throttle response and more miles per gallon. But this improved airflow and performance hasn't been gained at the expense of engine protection. The Pro DRY S has an excellent 99.2% filtration efficiency rating.
The pleats in the Pro DRY S are evenly spaced for greater dust holding capacity and the tips are rounded for better airflow. They're also 30% deeper than comparable aftermarket air filters for longer service intervals and greater dust holding capacity. The sealing surface and supporting structures are made from 100% polyurethane, to withstand extreme engine temperatures.
The aFe Stage 1 Air Intake System comes complete with everything necessary for installation, including comprehensive instructions. Its backed by aFe's limited 2-year warranty and made in the USA.

Research firm eMarketer has forecast that growth in US online ad spending will slow slightly this year as due to weaker consumer spending and as the market matures.
A report by the firm predicted internet ad revenues would rise 26.8% to $15.9bn this year – a move that may calm some fears in the industry after Yahoo!'s warning sent shares tumbling last week.

WebSideStory has released an interesting study that indicates paid search is only slightly more effective than optimisation when it comes to conversion rates.
The research, which focused on 20 major B2C sites over the first eight months of this year, basically suggests that neither paid or organic search advocates are right to claim their methods are better.

We are showing you the European version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Il Diavolo Rosso
Italy was, after France, the second nation to truly embrace cycle racing and in doing so, help define the sport throughout the 20th century. In fact, according to some, the sport's first true professional was a racer from the northern Italian town of Asti. And it was this man, Giovanni Gerbi, who won the first ever edition of the Tour of Lombardy, in 1905. Originally named Milan-Milan and run over a distance of 230km, in its formative years it became known as the 'World Championship of Autumn'.
"Fifty-five took part as Gerbi triumphed following a 199km lone breakaway. His average speed, a shade under 25kph, left Italians awestruck…"
– From Maglia Rosa by Herbie Sykes
Gerbi was certainly the stuff of legend. A notoriously explosive character, he rode to numerous victories at dynamite pace and wearing his trademark blood-red jersey, reminiscent of the vino rosso for which his native Piedmont region was famed. In 1903, he won Milan-Turin by more than half an hour and in 1904 became the first Italian to race at the newly established Tour de France.
As a child Gerbi was expelled from school for pugilistic tendencies. His father bestowed upon him the gift of a bicycle, which proved the perfect way to channel the young brute's aggression. He was dubbed Il Diavolo Rosso, the Red Devil, in part due to the colour of his jerseys, but also thanks to the devilish streak he displayed throughout his professional career.
Folklore has it that, in 1906, he tied up a signalman at a level crossing after he broke away on the second edition of the by now renamed Giro di Lombardia. With his rivals forced to take a detour, the Red Devil cruised to victory, allegedly rubbing his hands with glee like a silent-movie nasty.
When his misdemeanour was uncovered he was banned for two years. His fans became enraged. Gerbi's huge appeal had contributed to a surge in sales of the Gazzetta dello Sport which, spreading like Gerbi's evil grin, topped 100,000 copies at the peak of his popularity. Aware of his great publicity value the race organizers duly reduced his ban. If the incident produced cycling's first supervillain, it also helped establish the Giro di Lombardia as one of the sport's legendary one-day races.
The 106th Giro di Lombardia takes place tomorrow, Saturday 29th September.
Rapha's special edition Lombardia Jersey is still available in some sizes »

Tomorrow Romney goes up the road a bit to Virginia a hotbed of evangelical conservatives.
Senior national correspondent John Roberts tells us how Romney's Mormon religion will play at Liberty University.
It could be a defining moment for Mitt Romney a huge platform at the nation's largest evangelical university.
And an audience still not sure about his politics or his -- I think they're certainly there are some people out there who had issues with.
The Mormon faith Jonathan Falwell is the son of Liberty University founder Jerry Falwell you know I -- issues with the Mormon faith as a pastor but.
We can still stand together as citizens of the United States were still Americans in the name that he -- thing.
-- Romney might not have been their first choice many evangelicals are now rallying around -- despite deep differences over faith.
Mormonism is a theological -- and I still hold to that Robert -- pastor at first Baptist in Dallas unleashed a firestorm of criticism.
When he called Mormon -- -- a cult at last year's values voters conference.
Now he is urging evangelicals to support the man he once opposed.
Given the choice between.
Christian like Barack Obama who embraces non biblical positions like abortion.
And a non Christian like Mitt Romney who -- biblical values.
I think there's a good case to be made for voting for Mitt Romney in the selection prominent evangelicals say when Mitt Romney takes the stage here at liberty he has an opportunity.
To reach out to Christian conservatives by saying while our theology might be different our values -- the -- he doesn't need to pander.
He doesn't need to restrain any muscle he just needs to go in there and -- down certain markers.
Be authentic about -- years.
It appears Romney will not specifically mention his religion at liberty but he will lay down some markers saying.
The best cultural assets -- values is basic is personal responsibility the dignity of hard work and above all the commitment to family.
-- his Mormon faith become an issue in the fall campaign.
Evangelicals are split I think it will.
Just as much as the -- -- Wright issue became an issue in 2008 I'd hate.
If they bring it up they lose and I think if he brings it up first he loses I believe in my Mormon faith.
And I endeavor to live by in 2007.
-- -- give a speech explaining his -- advisors say it's not likely he'll do one this year.
But some evangelical leaders point out that run the story of family fidelity and personal conduct.
Is more in line with evangelical ideals -- many past presidents it's not just that.
They -- everything Mitt Romney stands far that they believe that every day of the week and twice on Sunday he's far more.
Compatible with their views and what's important to them the liberty speech is an important one to be sure.
But if Romney hopes to energize evangelicals to come out in November says Jonathan Falwell.
This needs to be the starting point of a long conversation that's something that can't be done it once speech with one statement with one phrase that's something he's got to be -- -- all the way up until November in Lynchburg Virginia.

So, Tell Me About Your Weaknesses by Dan King - Oct, 2010 In a calm, confident manner, Sam replied, "My biggest weakness is that I can become impatient with people who don't set standards as high as mine." Huh? I should have let it go, but it was late in the day and I was already on my sixth interview.

Which Cola does your Resume Brand you as? by Nimish Thakkar - Oct, 2010 As top Cola brands fought to capture and sustain market share in an oversaturated soft drinks market, some very valuable marketing and branding lessons surfaced.

Job-Clinching Interview Secrets and Tips by Nimish Thakkar - Sep, 2010 The entire interview process is designed to sift the average from the extraordinary and to select the candidate who will be the "right fit".

How is CEA measured? What is the normal range for CEA blood levels? How is the CEA test used? What conditions can cause an elevated CEA? What are the limitations of CEA testing? What is CEA? CEA stands for carcinoembryonic antigen. CEA is a type of protein molecule that can be found in many different cells of the body, but is typically associated with certain tumors and the developing fetus. The word "carcinoembryonic" reflects the fact that CEA is produced by some cancers ("carcino-") and by the developing fetus ("-embryonic"). How is CEA measured? CEA is most frequently tested in blood. It can also be tested in body fluids and in biopsy tissue. What is the normal range for CEA blood levels? The normal range for CEA in an adult non-smoker is <2.5 ng/ml and for a smoker <5.0 ng/ml. How is the CEA test used? The best use of CEA is as a tumor marker, especially for cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. When the CEA level is abnormally high before surgery or other treatment, it is expected to fall to normal following successful surgery to remove all of the cancer. A rising CEA level indicates progression or recurrence of the cancer. In addition, levels >20 ng/ml before therapy are associated with cancer which has already spread (metastatic disease). What conditions can cause an elevated CEA? Both benign and malignant (harmless and cancerous) conditions can increase the CEA level. The most frequent cancer which causes an increased CEA is cancer of the colon and rectum. Others include cancers of the pancreas, stomach, breast, lung, and certain types of thyroid and ovarian cancer. Benign conditions which can elevate CEA include smoking, infections, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and some benign tumors in the same organs in which an elevated CEA indicates cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause a temporary rise in CEA due to the death of tumor cells and release of CEA into the blood stream. Benign disease does not usually cause an increase above 10 ng/ml. What are the limitations of CEA testing? CEA is not an effective screening test for hidden (occult) cancer since early tumors do not cause significant blood elevations. Also, many tumors never cause an abnormal blood level, even in advanced disease. Because there is variability between results obtained between laboratories, the same laboratory should do repeat testing when monitoring a patient with cancer.

Last month, the adidas Eurocamp, the only official NBA Draft camp outside of the US, took place at the La Ghirada sports center in Treviso, Italy. The camp featured some of the top prospects in Europe (eventual Draft picks Evan Fournier, Tomas Satoransky, Izzet Turkyilmaz, Tornike Shengelia and Tomislav Zubcic all participated) and gave them a chance to show NBA teams, many of whom had scouts in attendance, what they could do. Above is a video featuring some of the best plays from the camp.
I spent some time with Carl Berman one of the head honchos over at NetScouts Basketball to get insight and knowledge on a variety of topics. We discussed the evolution of NetScouts and how they came to be, the services they offer and the places they visit. Carl also breaks down several players from this year's rookie class top to bottom and what foreign players to keep an eye out for in the future.
SLAM: For those unfamiliar with your site and services, can you elaborate and educate everyone on what NetScouts is all about?
NetScouts: My partner Chris Denker and I started NetScouts Basketball after seeing a need to help players in their careers, both in giving them impartial advice and in getting them placed for professional opportunities. We both worked in minor league basketball, Chris as a coach and I as a general manager and coach. Chris has over 20 years of Division I coaching experience and decided to try scouting, and that's when we got the idea of NetScouts Basketball.
Now we are the largest collegiate scouting service in the United States utilizing regional scouts with prior basketball industry experience. We scouted over 200 teams last season and generated over 1,300 scouting reports. We then work with primarily overseas professional teams in consulting and helping them evaluate American players. After the season is over we conduct a series of overseas tryout camps throughout the U.S. After that we try to connect players who work with us with professional opportunities worldwide. Then, it's time for another basketball season!
Our website and blog have been mentioned among the top basketball websites and blogs. We are active in social networking, particularly on Twitter and Facebook and are a strategic partner with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook as well as several top European basketball websites, Talk Basket of France and Prensa BasketMe of Spain. We are member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association are correspondents for Eurobasket.
SLAM: When scouting players, what is the most consistent weakness in players? What areas of the game are especially neglected?
NetScouts: That's a good question and it's tough to state a general weakness, but some that come to mind are overconfidence in the player's own abilities which can show in too much one on one play, too much dribbling, making tough passes when easier passes would do. Also it's surprising how many players are not conditioned as well as they could be. Everyone likes to work on their offense but it takes a good coach to get players to play as hard on defense, particularly defense off the ball or help side defense.
SLAM: How would you differentiate U.S. players and foreign players? What skill sets would you like to see U.S. players learn or utilize like their foreign counterparts?
NetScouts: The U.S. game and the international game is really quite a bit different. From the game time difference, to the key, the number of games played and the way the referees call the game there are big differences. Players adapt to the rules and way the game is played so it's no wonder that players develop different skills. The general view is that U.S, players are more athletic than their international counterparts but not as good shooters and in many cases not as tough. The game is definitely called differently and you could see how the U.S. players had issues with that until the recent Olympics. As more U.S. players go overseas and more overseas players come to the U.S. the differences will be reduced.
SLAM: Take us through what being a scout entails, what do you look for, how many times do you have to see a player to have a firm grasp on what he can and can't do?
NetScouts: What we do at NetScouts Basketball is probably somewhat more difficult that what other scouts do as we are not only determining whether a player can potentially play in the NBA but if not, where that player could play. From Euro league teams all the way through the professional spectrum and to some of the lower quality leagues. We try to get a good feel of where everyone we scout is capable of playing. Scouting obviously entails going to a lot of games and filling some gaps with some TV work. We'll go to practices when we can and have the time in addition to games. We look at a players entire game, offense, shooting ,passing, rebounding, whether he can create his own shot, can he rebound out of his area, can he defend, both his man and off the ball, athleticism, strength, etc. You can generally get an idea of where a player is at fairly quickly but repetitive views are most reliable. The best part for me is seeing players improve. Sam Young is a good example. He clearly improved all aspects of his game each year. The hardest part is telling some players who have completed their eligibility and are looking to play professionally somewhere that they don't have much of a chance and should probably move on with their life.
SLAM: Who are some of the players internationally that U.S. fans should pay attention to? Which players are on the fast track to the NBA?
NetScouts: I was at the Nike Hoop Summit this past year in Portland, OR and was very impressed with the skills of some of the European big men. They completely outclassed the American bigs. Most impressive to me was Donatus Motiejunas a 7-0, 215-pound Lithuainian who can play the 3, 4 or 5. He showed good moves around the basket, good shooting skills and ball skills. He won;' be 20 years old until next September but is a definite high first rounder whenever he comes out. Milan Macvan is a strong 6-8, 265-pounder from Croatia. He doesn't have much athleticism but knows how to play. He uses his body to get rebounds, is a good passer and has good shooting range. It'll be interesting to see how he comes up whenever he gets in the draft. He doesn't have the athleticism but has the body and the smarts. Tomislav Zubcic, another Croatian, is a 6-10, 210-pound wing. He has a nice shot with good range and will create mismatches because of his height. He obviously needs to add strength but the potential is surely there. Milos Teodosic, a 6-5 Serbian point guard, is the newest European sensation after his play this month in the EuroBasket 2009 tournament in Poland. He is a deadly three point shooter with excellent point guard skills. His drawback is that he's not terribly athletic or fast. He is under contract with Olympiakos until 2012 and it'll be interesting to see how he develops.
SLAM: What is your take on NBA players heading overseas to play? Do you envision a superstar heading overseas in the prime of his career?
NetScouts: The world is getting smaller and more NBA players will be heading overseas. In many cases it will be players in the low-to-mid NBA salary levels who can make comparable money in Europe. Some players are interested in Europe as there are about half the games to play so the wear and tear on their bodies is much more reasonable. I'm not sure if a top NBA player would head over there as those players just make so much money in the states, but as they near the end of their career I can see some headed overseas.
SLAM: Let's breakdown some of the rookies from this year's draft class. Scouting report on Stephen Curry?
NetScouts: NetScouts Basketball scouted Stephen Curry over 10 times and we are confident he will make an excellent NBA player. We were extremely surprised when Minnesota passed him by and drafted Flynn (although we really like Flynn also).
Curry is very quick and much more athletic than he seems. He is skinny and needs another 10-15 pounds of muscle for the NBA. Obviously his shooting stroke and range are as good as it gets. He gets his shot up quickly while squaring up properly. More suited to a catch and shoot or screen game but can create and get off his shot. When he does that however, in many cases he settles for long, lower percentage shots and tends to dribble too much prior to getting off his shot.
The big question is can he play point in the NBA. We feel that he can but are still unsure as to whether that would help the team more than if he were more in a combo guard role, similar to a Leandro Barbosa. He has a very high basketball IQ, but when running the point tends to accumulate turnovers via some suspect passes and seems to have some trouble with traps or double teams. He does see the floor very well and does see the open man. The question is would running the point detract from his natural scoring ability.
He is extremely competitive and finds a way to get his points even when his shot isn't falling. He works hard on defense, has quick hands and anticipates passing lanes well. His skinny frame would hurt defending stronger guards.
We feel Curry will be a star in the NBA, the only question would be from which position. We'd like to see him add some muscle to his frame. Either way he'll be good for 15ppg next season. He is smart and will work to improve all aspects of his game.
SLAM: Scouting report on Ricky Rubio?
NetScouts: We thought Rubio was the best pure point guard in this year's draft and were dumbfounded when Minnesota took Flynn also. Rubio's only big weakness is the one most easily correctible – shooting. He sees the entire court extremely well and get the ball to the open man. Great dribbling ability and court presence. Comparable to a Pete Maravich without the shooting ability. Will be a perennial all-star once he gets to the NBA.
SLAM: Scouting report on Hasheem Thabeet?
NetScouts: We are not sold on Thabeet. He has a lot of work to do on his offensive game before he will be even serviceable there. He is a good rebounder within his area because of his height and reach but does not rebound well out of his area. He seems like a very good kid and will need to put in the work on his offensive game as well as his aggressiveness in rebounding. Obviously a solid defender around the basket due to his height. We'll have to come back to him in two years and see how he has developed.
SLAM: Scouting report on Brandon Jennings?
NetScouts: Jennings certainly has skills but considering that he could not start in Europe, has a ways to go. Very quick and can get by his man off the dribble but needs to work on his shooting, playmaking and certainly needs maturity. He seems prone to turnovers and makes the tough crowd pleasing pass at times rather than the right pass. Needs to understand how to play within a team game and make the best percentage play at all times. Tends to shoot too much. Needs to work on his defense. Clearly has the potential to be a solid NBA player but must work on his game and gain maturity. Check back in 2-3 years.
SLAM: Scouting report on Johnny Flynn?
NetScouts: We like Flynn a lot. Incredibly quick, can blow by defenders and has a good medium range shot. Small for an NBA point but has incredible hops which makes up somewhat for his lack of height. Mature for his age. Gives up some on defense because of his height and build but makes up for it some with his quickness. We think Flynn will be a solid contributor from day 1 in the NBA.
SLAM: Scouting report on Blake Griffin?
NetScouts: His only weakness is his shooting ability and he will work to improve there. Incredibly hard worker and MUCH stronger than he appears. Very quick for his size, he has ball skills and is an excellent passer. Great leaping ability and body control. Will out work and out run most players he is matched against. If he improves his mid-range shot he'll be a perennial All-Star. Clearly the best player coming out of college this past season.
SLAM: Scouting report on James Harden?
NetScouts: Harden is probably the most NBA ready player with the exception of Griffin. He has an NBA body and is relentless going to the hoop. He'll draw a lot of fouls in the NBA. Excellent offensive rebounder and a great rebounding guard. He competes all the time, does not take any time off while he is on the court. He'll be a double figure scorer from day 1. All All-Star when he gets more consistent with his shot outside of 18-20 feet.

A 3,000-page report based on countless hours of investigation into a police shooting death that ended last summer's 32-hour standoff in south Wichita left Marc Bennett with an obvious conclusion:
Use of deadly force by officers was lawful and justified.
"I'm at a loss of what else law enforcement could have done … what more they could have done to end this peacefully," Bennett, the Sedgwick County district attorney, said Wednesday in announcing his decision.

U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Wednesday that a Wichita restaurant owner faces numerous charges in federal court, including drug trafficking, firearms violations, bank fraud and money laundering.
Grissom said in a news release that a grand jury in U.S. District Court handed down 23 counts against Gerald Beasley, 58, of Andover. The charges include unlawful possession of a firearm after a felony conviction; possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking; maintaining a drug involved premise, including his restaurant, Tiara's Place, 1339 N. Hillside; possession with intent to distribute heroin and cocaine; conspiracy to commit bank fraud; bank fraud; money laundering, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The news release said law enforcement officers served search warrants in June and seized more than $229,000 from bank accounts and $346,000 in cash from homes and a business. The government also is seeking forfeiture of several pieces of property in Wichita and Andover.
The Sedgwick County Sheriffs Office said Wednesday that metal thieves apparently are using a new tool to plan their crimes: the Internet.
Investigators believe specific locations are being targeted by suspects who are using computer mapping sites to identify locations that may have large quantities of copper wire, Sheriffs Lt. Dave Mattingly said during a media briefing Wednesday.
A recent example occurred Tuesday, when Sedgwick County deputies stopped a pickup near 143rd Street East and K-254. The driver, a 24-year-old Oklahoma woman, was originally stopped on traffic charges.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

They deck offices, lobbies, and living rooms, but what are they called? A new poll shows Americans are overwhelmingly decided on whether it is a "Christmas" or "holiday" tree. Eight in ten side with "Christmas" over "holiday," according to the latest poll from Clarus Research Group. Only 12% refer to it as a holiday tree.
A tax break that has saved struggling homeowners from paying thousands of dollars to the IRS is just days away from expiring. If the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 does not get extended by Congress by the end of the year, homeowners will have to start paying income taxes on the portion of their mortgage that is forgiven in a foreclosure, short sale or principal reduction.
A weekend wedged in right before Christmas seemed like the perfect gift for procrastinators who wait until the 23rd hour for holiday shopping, or shoppers who wait for one last big sale.
U.S. stocks sank Monday as investors remain concerned that officials in Washington will fail to resolve a looming fiscal crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.4%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both lost about 0.3%. U.S. markets closed at 1 p.m. ET and will remain dark Tuesday for the Christmas holiday.
Millions of Britons are facing a bleak holiday season worried about falling incomes and how to repay debt, as economic reports raise questions about whether the country's austerity measures can restore growth.

Immediately after my Christmas tree is decorated and the tree lights plugged in, I turn off all the other house lights and sit on the stairs, staring at my gleaming achievement. I could stare for days, hypnotized by the shiny allure of the decorations. The simple, white lights I prefer for the tree sit neatly among what has become an all-out, no-holds-barred glitter explosion.
When the holidays bring heartache instead of joy, I think they do so because they stand as an unforgiving yard stick against which we measure our losses and troubles.
Ho ho ho, here's some Christmas-themed science! The British Medical Journal's Christmas issue this month features a study about reindeer that treats a fantastical idea with some medical reality. The result is a lesson in how reindeer noses compare to the noses of humans and what purpose their underlying structures serve.

Germicidal vs. Conditioning Quats
Posted: June 18, 2007
Tony O'Lenick explores the difference between germicidal and conditioning quats.
Quat is surfactant jargon for a quaternary ammonium compound. This class of compounds includes nitrogen-containing materials in which the nitrogen has four nonhydrogens surrounding them. Quats by virtue of their fatty group and their cationic group are substantive to hair, skin and cell walls of bacteria. These substrates are fatty in nature and generally have a negative charge, the result of oxidation of sulfur-bearing amino acids.
The nature of the interaction between hair, skin and bacteria cell walls is critical to the function of the quat at the surface. If the quat coats the hair and skin with minimal penetration, it is mild and conditioning. If the quat is made to maximize the disruption of the bacteria cell wall, it will be antimicrobial.
