Public Meetings Planned for Local Park Grant Program
AUSTIN— The 83rd Legislature has restored approximately half of the Texas Recreation Parks Account (TRPA) and Large County & Municipality Recreation and Parks Account funding for the 2014-2015 biennium.
Funding will become available in 2014 for the Local Park Grant Program and for the Community Outdoor Outreach Program (CO-OP). As this is only a partial restoration, program rules such as award ceilings, scoring criteria and application deadlines need to be reviewed.
To assess the needs and desires of grant customers, TPWD's planning a series of statewide public input meetings and an online customer survey. After the results of these inputs are obtained, TPWD staff will propose rule changes for adoption by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission in early 2014, with a call for grant applicants subsequent.

E-discovery: Are prevailing party costs for e-discovery vendors recoverable under 28 U.S.C. § 1920?
Given the ever expanding presence, methods and costs of e-discovery in litigation today, it is imperative that inside and outside counsel consider and be informed as to whether these costs will ultimately be recoverable under 28 U.S.C. § 1920 (Section 1920) and whether there are other means available prior to...
E-discovery: Understanding how to manage ESI can save money
Responding to a request for production under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34 or a nonparty subpoena under Federal Rule of Procedure 45 is a task often made more arduous and costly when the request or subpoena seeks the production of electronically stored information (ESI).
E-discovery: You can't blame third parties for e-discovery errors
Courts will ultimately hold a party and/or its attorneys accountable for discovery failures—even those attributable to a vendor or consultant's errors.

Passion. Pride. Patience. Pacers
This takes me back because I remember the buzz about his return and it got me to tune into the game as well. This was before I considered myself a Pacers fan, so at the time I was just in awe of the return of Jordan.
I remember NBC making a point of the additional global media coverage for that game. It was crazy.
I lov Grady...but I miss Reb.
This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Same. I have to give Grady credit. He's come in and done an excellent job of replacing someone very popular who did it for a long time. No easy task.
Didn't attend the game, but I still have the VHS of this in my collection. I can remember quite a bit of the game, even though I haven't watched it in at least 15 years. I remember this one went to overtime, I believe thanks to BJ Armstrong. I also remember an incredible series where Reggie hits a 3, comes down and misses one, we get an offensive rebound and Reggie for another 3. MSA erupts and the Bulls call a timeout. I replayed that series of events over and over and over in my driveway, as I was 10 years old at the time.
Yeah the Mrs. and I remeber this one....... the main thought being Jordan's like a bad penny you can't get rid of or the damn vampire you couldn't kill. While it seemed everyone else was excited I was not happy at all.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I was at this game, 11 years old, and I remember the pregame atmosphere pretty vividly... Dont remember to much of the game however... I thought that it was awesome that I went with my Boys and Girls basketball team because we had sold the most during the fundraiser... Looking back, it is pretty sweet to say that I was there at this game...

Hi Sashbash, I have 3b hair and have the same problem. I hate when my hair falls flat. I think it's low to medium porosity and oils can weigh my hair down.
I think my hair turned out pretty voluminous with this combination of products: Kinky Curly Knot Today and Giovanni Hair Styling Foam Natural Mousse.
Use any light conditioner or KCKT, let sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes in the shower. But if your hair has build up (which can weigh it down) you can try Kinky Curly Come Clean prior to conditioning. Rinse it out, let the hair dry in a t-shirt for a few minutes so that it is no longer soaking wet. After that, apply enough KCKT to coat the hair and get out any tangles with your fingers or wide tooth comb. Then apply to Giovanni natural mousse and comb through to ensure even distribution. Scrunch curls, holding a few seconds on each small section of hair. Let air dry. This is how my hair came out using these 2 products - see pics:
I also like ISO Bouncy Curl products but they don't define my hair much.

Blackwood apprentice nets British Gas job
5:22pm Thursday 6th March 2014
5:22pm Thursday 6th March 2014
A BLACKWOOD apprentice working for British Gas says taking part in a training scheme changed her life.
Kirsty Williams, 22, from Blackwood, spoke about the scheme as part of National Apprentice Week which is running this week.
Miss Williams applied for the British Gas apprenticeship scheme after leaving school but at a competitive 50 applications for every one place on the course, she did not get in until her second attempt.
Now, having completed the 18 month apprenticeship and training scheme and working full-time for British Gas, she says she loves her job as a service and repair engineer.
"I would definitely recommend taking part in an apprenticeship scheme," she said. " Every day is different. Peopleare often really surprised when I turn up as you still don't see many women in this job.
The former British Gas Apprentice of the Year added: "I want so show young girls like me that even if you like girly things, you can still work in a role like mine."
Yesterday British Gas' apprentices based at its Tredegar Academy shared their experiences with would-be recruits.

why would the PDGA need competition? hello? what planet are you from? it's not a fucking walmart, it's not a starbucks... it's not a business... competition is not how you improve a non-profit organization, donating, contributing, paying membership fees, voting, these are the things that will improve the PDGA.
Hehe, those that are PDGA members should check out the article in the most recent magazine about the history of the sport and those that tried to make a new PDGA (I forget exactly what the names and acronyms were at the time). Pretty interesting stuff though.

The way people today seek the Dharma is cause for lamentation,

They have in fact stopped mid-way, at the mountain pass!

To what extent is this stanza written ages ago by an Elder Master, true in today's context and environment?

It's really easy, especially when you're younger, to always be focused on the future. Great to be able to also pay attention to the moment.
Original Star Wars = Huge nerd cred.
Good work getting in that 11 mile run. (Definitely counts as a long run). Thanks for those words of wisdom from Yoda. Always a good reminder to enjoy your life now. (Life is short)
Awesome post!
Love this. Such a good reminder...it's so easy to get caught up in the future, but time goes by too fast. Anxious to hear your potential life-changing news though!!!
Are you wearing compression shorts? I have a pair, and that is seriously what I do EVERY SINGLE TIME I put them on. Without fail. Then, I realized that I have a creepy neighbor, and I stopped wearing them completely. Paranoid? Maybe.
Good challenge. I shall accept.
I am always "wishing my life away"- whether it is the next race or my bigger pet-peeve- wishing for the weekend. Do I REALLY want to wish my way through 5 days just to get to two which will fly by? Nope. Work day or not I'm going to make the most of it. Thanks for the reminder!
Well said. This is my state of running now. I'm not focused on any runs but the next few days.
I have a lot of issues staying in the present focused mindset. Thanks for the reminder!
Just slap me if I stare next week.
This is what I need to keep me centered - thanks.
There is no definition of long run - only what your plan dictates. We had a reminder last week that judging and comparing ourselves to others gets us nowhere.
Nice lifting work!
Awesome for sure.....
Interestingly when I moved to the ATL I was also too focused on the future and not living in the present. Eventually this town grows on you. Plus you meet some of the nicest people when you are on a run down here.
It's so easy to get caught up in whatnextwhatnextwhatnext! Love this reminder to enjoy all the moments. It's too easy to let them slip by. Speaking of, I will definitely have to let you know next time I have a weekend off so we can run together again!!!
Excellent advice and a worthy challenge, one we all should accept.
And don't worry about the shorts, if you like them, that's all that matters. If anybody does actually stare, then they are the one who has a problem, not you.
I accept your challenge and I will focus on this week!

Colorado Ski Country USA Announces 2013/14 Season Industry Award Winners
Denver, Colo. – April 16, 2014 - Every year, Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) recognizes the top achievers in the Colorado ski industry through the Snowmaker, Groomer, and Terrain Master of the Year awards. Below is a list of this year's winners.
Snowmaker of the Year Ian Naudain – Eldora Mountain Resort
"Ian has worked four seasons making snow for Eldora Mountain Resort. He quickly learned the business and thanks to a great attitude, strong work ethic, and exceptional leadership qualities he rose to become a supervisor in just his second season", said Chris Cipolletti, Snow Surfaces Manager at Eldora. "No matter how tough the weather or how difficult situations are, Ian always meets and exceeds expectations and keeps a level head. He is a valuable employee who continues to dive into as many aspects of the mountain's operations as he can."
Groomer of the Year Napoleon Swyter – Keystone Resort
A ten-year veteran of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Napoleon started as a full time cat operator at Keystone, where he was voted as the rookie of the year. Napoleon also has grooming experience at Coronet Peak in New Zealand. "In 2013 Napoleon brought his experience and enthusiasm back to Keystone and is working like he never left", said Pete Van Oosterhout, Trail Maintenance Supervisor for Keystone.
Terrain Master of the Year – Day Crew: Kelly "Parker" Glass – Aspen/Snowmass
Kelly graduated from his studies in 2001 and served in the US Army from 2001 to 2005 as a Cannoneer in Bamberg, Germany. He joined the Snowmass Park crew in 2011 and loves to be on the mountain. "Kelly strives to be an inspiration for other park crew members, and loves to make a difference", said Yannick Rioux, Terrain Park Manager at Snowmass. "After three years of working on the day crew, fellow colleagues and supervisors have noticed his leadership among new staff and his growing passion and knowledge for the industry."
Terrain Master of the Year- Night Crew: Chris Meyer – Telluride Ski Resort
Chris started as a Terrain Park Groomer with Telluride Ski Resort in 2005. He quickly demonstrated a level of skill, work ethic, and commitment to his position that allowed him to advance to Grooming Supervisor. Though Meyer was able to grow and enhance his skills as a Grooming Supervisor, his commitment, leadership, and creativity proved him to be more suitable for a Terrain Park Management position. "Because of Chris's efforts as Terrain Park Manager, Telluride Terrain Parks have seen massive improvements in the areas of feature quantity, layout, creativity, and progression and have a beginner/intermediate park setup that has doubled in size over the course of just one year", said John Kelly, Director of Resort Services at Telluride.

Voters to decide if Philly inspector general will be permanent post
Philadelphia's inspector general could become a permanent city office if voters approve a ballot question.
The inspector general's job is to ferret out waste and corruption in Philadelphia. Amy Kurland, who now holds the post, says she's happy there's a proposal to make it permanent by changing the city charter.
"The inspector general would be appointed for a five-year term, and it wouldn't be concurrent with the mayor, so that would guarantee some measure of independence and a lack of political influence," she said.
Kurland says the plan is designed to insulate the job of inspector general from politics.
"It would also require that the inspector general not make any political contributions and not run for political office until after two years when the term ends."
The post now is created under an executive order of the mayor, who has the ability to hire and fire.

Check out who they brought in to apparently help them do the Moneyball thing:
Grizzlies hire John Hollinger
Updated: December 13, 2012, 6:27 PM ET
By Marc Stein | ESPN.com
John Hollinger, a fixture of ESPN.com's coverage of the NBA for the past eight seasons and one of the leaders in basketball's rising statistical analysis movement in the past decade, is leaving his role as a columnist to join the front office of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Best known for hatching the formula behind every player's Player Efficiency Rating (PER) -- which attempts to quantify player performance through the use of an all-in-one rating -- Hollinger will begin work as a senior executive in the Grizzlies' basketball department next week.
"It's incredibly difficult to leave ESPN, but the chance to work for an NBA team and the Grizzlies' new ownership was an irresistible opportunity," Hollinger said Thursday.
Hollinger was recruited to the Grizzlies by new controlling owner Robert Pera and CEO/managing partner Jason Levien, who have made upgrading Memphis' analytics department one of their front-office priorities.
The Grizzlies on Thursday declined comment.
Hollinger, 41, founded the website "Alleyoop" in 1996 to launch his online career as a basketball sabermetrician and authored a series of books originally known as the "Pro Basketball Prospectus" and later titled "Pro Basketball Forecast."
He went on to work for The Oregonian newspaper's online site (OregonLive.com) and served as the NBA editor of Sports Illustrated's online site (SI.com) before joining ESPN.com in February 2005.

So Rob Henry becomes the latest victim of the acl curse. Sounds like TerBush is the next favorite.
What are your hopes for basketball?
Let's start a new thread a bit more upbeat. Gary Harris on campus October 1st weekend, Notre Dame game.
Nothing like a good old fashioned recruiting showdown between Indiana and Purdue. I guess Michigan State is in there, but I keep hearing he will stay in state. It would be great for either school to get him. He would vault Purdue's class into top 10 nationally (to stay, probably) if he chose the Boilers, and he would cement IU's class as the #1 class in the country if he chose the Hoosiers. If he chooses MSU he just pisses the whole state off.
For what it's worth, Dave Telep (ESPN'S recruiting head) said in a chat either today or yesterday it was between State and Purdue but it was 10 day old info and 10 days is a lifetime in recruiting. It was in an ESPN chat.
Yeah he caught a firestorm for saying that too. Gary Harris' dad refuted that rumor and said he didn't know where it came from. Telep went on the defensive on Twitter a day later after (I presume) all the Hoosier fans lambasted him for it.
If Harris goes to IU or Purdue, I will be absolutely shocked. The scuttle butt since July has basically had him going to MSU.
I thought it was mainly Purdue/State too. Figure it is more likely St, but I am just ready for this to be over.
In other athletics new, the volleyball team starts their season tomorrow (later today) and I'm excited. We're raising the Elite Eight banner!
Yeah, Harris and his family have played this rather impressively close to the vest. The Zellers did their due diligence but it was almost a given he'd be a Hoosier, no one really knows with Harris. I try not to be biased with this kinda stuff, but I honestly do think he winds up at Purdue, just a gut feeling.
I dunno, people say he's going to State and visiting the state schools to keep people off his back, but it goes the same way if he's actually already decided and it's one of Purdue/IU. You can read it both ways. Wherever he goes, everything I've read about him makes him seem like an outstanding kid so I hope he succeeds regardless. Anyway, I was thinking about his rankings and all and came to the conclusion Harris would be Purdue's highest ranked recruit since....Mike Robinson. Yeah. Dude was even a McDonald's AA. Just goes to show how fickle the rankings game is.
Also, speaking of recruiting, he's obviously no longer committed but last month I read that Kyle Molock's just trying to get colleges to look at him in open gyms, let alone high D1 schools. He apparently shredded his knee, all 3 ligaments, I thought it was just his ACL. That's awful, from playing at an upper tier major conference program to just trying to find an offer in a few short months. Hope the kid can find a place that fits and helps him succeed.
Ya I feel bad for Molock, hope he figures something out.
Hopefully he'll find something. Jared Jones from BSU has a similiar story. Committed to ND and during the summer before his senior year he broke his leg. Scared off ND, so he busted his hump and got another offer from Ball State. Since then all he's done is be a 3 year starter, soon to be 4, and been a 16pt 8reb guy that really helped the program stay afloat.
Hopefully he listens to his doctor and his knee, and eventually it will come back to him. Maybe look at a prep school for another year to give him a little more time to heal.
Vball swept Baylor tonight! Also, we are playing...vcu in the morning. I hope we demolish them.
One more thing - saw several members of the bball team at a dining court, and the game tonight. The freshmen are TALL.
Well we avenged the men's basketball team a little. Swept vcu.
TerBush is the starter officially. The season opens up in less than a week, oh ya!
TerBush is one weird last name.
Could make for some really good typos.
H & T aren't that far apart on the keyboard.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."

from http://purdue.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1257506
Lawson, Hummel progressing
A pair of Boilermakers coming off serious injuries look good so far in individual workouts, Painter said.
Senior Robbie Hummel and freshman Jacob Lawson are at different points in their recovery from ACL surgery and Achilles' tendon surgery, respectively.
"Rob looks fine," Painter said. "He looked like he had good lateral movement. He had good spring, kind of stopped on a dime for his pull up. Just looked good. It's one of those things where time always tells, but from not seeing him for such a long time ? he looked pretty good."
Lawson, a 6-foot-8 forward, ruptured the Achilles' in his right leg in January.
"He didn't look like he had the same spring to him when I watched him in high school, but for somebody who tore his Achilles and has only been going here for about a month in terms of being released for everything, I thought he was great," Painter said. " thought he did some good things and worked really hard in the individual workout we had on Thursday."
I have to wonder if Lawson will be a redshirt. His athleticism and explosiveness are the major strengths of his game.
Lawson's not redshirting. If the only reason for him to do it is "not being as athletic" then it'd be dumb, this team has very little legitimate size. He's a month out from being cleared to play off an Achille's tear, no **** he's not as athletic right now, that comment's getting kinda blown outta proportion. It's August 1st.
I agree. Lawson will be playing.
We're playing Middle Tennessee State in less than 24 hours. I'm excited, we should be able to actually win these games.
TerBush has been crap so far.
cant see the game, but boxscore is depressingly familiar
Gonna be a longggg season. At least Bolden looks solid and healthy, just put Wiggs as QB. Also, Auburn down 14-21 to Utah St ate half. And seeing Nebraska on the BTN is really weird. Feels like it just now hit me that they're actually in the conference.

CF Industries and Other Fertilizer Stocks Jump on Corn Price Rise
A corn-fueled rally is propelling fertilizer stocks this morning.
Corn prices jumped higher after the government said corn inventories will fall even more than expected following the brutal Midwest drought. Global inventories will hit 117 million metric tons as of October 1, down from an estimate of 124 million last month, Bloomberg noted.
The price surge is helping fertilizer stocks this morning; Potash of Saskatchewan (POT) is up 2%, Mosaic (MOS) is up 2.1%, CF Industries (CF) is up 2.7% and Agrium (AGU) is trading 1.6% higher.

Families throughout the world, often Americans, are historically tied to Canada in many ways. As Canada became a nation, shares of her resource and mineral wealth were granted to settlers and their families. Over time, the descendants of these people relocated and settled internationally. Many of these settlers were American families. Some stayed in Canada, but many returned to the United States with ownership of these lands and mineral interests still in their family name.
If you feel that your family or ancestors ever owned mineral rights in Canada, Canadian Mineral Rights Locators can perform research right back to the original land grant. If a geneological link can be proven, you could be entitled to a share of that wealth hidden beneath the ground. It is in your interests to act now since, with recent geo-political events the world economy is changing to reflect a renewed interest in non-renewable resources.

Samantha Cameron praised the "amazing history" of an Edgware-based Asian women's charity during a reception at Downing Street.
The Prime Minister's wife met supporters and ambassadors of the Sangam Association of Asian Women to hear about how the charity helps Asian women having difficulty integrating into their new environment.
The charity, based in Burnt Oak Broadway, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and helps more than 3,000 people every year.
Speaking at the event, Mrs Cameron said: "I first heard about Sangam last year and I was moved by the amazing history of a charity originally established in the 1970s by Asian women for Asian women.
"Sangam hasn't been afraid to address difficult issues like poverty and domestic violence. It has continued to empower and support women and it is fantastic that you have been recognised so widely."


text: probably my favorite brand of shoes, in addition to Alden and Paul Smith All of mine are based on the same style, heavy brogue with double sole. These are some serious shit kickers, heavy, but very comfortable and need no break in. Looks great with jeans, not really suitable for trousers unless it's something textured like tweed or flannel. Sizing wise, they run very TTS. Despite them looking large they dont fit large at all imo. Navy brogues from Present in london, 100% same as the Junya Watanabe collab which cost 2x Forest Green brogue from Present London. With dainite sole White brogue from Present London, dainite sole Acorn Antique from pediwear, havent even worn them yet! Japan only edition Paul Smith collab brogue boot (basically the Stow boot with dainite sole in a PS only color leather and addtl brogueing detail that the normal Stow doesnt have), dainite sole anyone else a fan?

*LUPEC Boston's latest ruminations, in case you missed 'em in this week's Dig.
by Pink Lady
Nothing excites the ladies of LUPEC Boston more than when endangered spirits once again become available. The latest of these to catch our fancy is Bols Genever.
We've discussed Genever in our little corner of the Dig before, but to refresh your memory, it is a Dutch spirit distilled from maltwine flavored with juniper and other botanicals that flowed abundantly into Holland during the heyday of the Dutch spice trade. Order a gin drink in a mid-nineteenth century barroom and this is what the barman would use as the base, an earthy, malty, backdrop softened by citrus, cordials, syrups, etc., into an elegant cocktail. Dry gin (the style we most commonly drink today) didn't come into vogue until the late 19th century.
Genever was considered one of four main spirits categories in the pre-Prohibition Golden Age of Cocktails, holding forth on the back bar alongside whiskey, brandy, and rum. Excavating certain classic recipes without it has been clumsy business, earning the spirit a designation as "the missing ingredient in the bartender's palate" by cocktail historian David Wondrich.
While the Dutch have continued to consume Genever abundantly, we've been unable to get Holland-distilled product in the states for some time (though the good folks at Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco turn out a robust take on the category called Genevieve.) In 2007, the Lucas Bols brand revived the1820 recipe for their premium Genever, and just last month, the spirit flowed liberally into Boston with a classy, genever-soaked launch party at Drink.
Now that you can get your hot little hands on a bottle, why not taste some of those drinks as they were meant to be enjoyed? Mix up one of these for the full experience.
2 oz Bols Genever
1.5 bar spoons sugar syrup (2:1)
2 bar spoons Maraschino liqueur
.5 bar spoon Absinthe
2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
Combine all ingredients in a mixing tin filled with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Twist a lemon peel over the cocktail, then rub remaining lemon oil around rim of glass. Drop in the peel, and enjoy!
Cin cin!

Texting makes people weird
Dear Meredith,
I have been feeling very frustrated with the dating scene as of late. I'm 25 and after taking about a year off from dating, I decided to join an online dating site in March. I had used this particular site in the past, and while I didn't end up with a long-term relationship, I did meet a few nice guys along with one guy who I really seemed to click with. Unfortunately, after a few dates, I got the whole "I'm just not ready to be dating" speech, so that was the end of that. That was really what spurred my year-long break from dating, during which I decided to focus on myself and have fun being single.
This time around, I have communicated with a couple of guys who seemed interesting and had a lot in common with me. However, I seem to keep coming across the same issue with all of the guys I have been in touch with online. Initially, these guys come off in their messages as intelligent, confident, and interesting. With all of them, it has progressed to the point where they ask me out on a date, and then ask to text prior to the date. I don't know what it is, but it's like the second we switch to texting, they are completely different people. I'm not just talking about them texting like tweens, but more specifically, their behavior comes across as odd.
For example, one guy I was planning on going out with didn't call me to finalize a date/time to meet (which he specifically said he would do), but instead made a bizarre excuse about a plumber being at work, followed by two texts contradicting themselves about him being confused as to what time he was supposed to call. This was just one of example of a series of bizarre texts and excuses. Needless to say, I did not end up going out with him. More recently, I had made plans to go out with a different guy this past Saturday. On Thursday of last week, I asked him to let me know where and when we would be meeting as soon as his plans were finalized (he is from out of state and was planning on being in town for the weekend and staying with a friend). I didn't hear anything from him until 5 p.m. Saturday night, and even then, his text to me was basically just a "Hey you."
I guess my questions are: Do most guys wait until the last minute to set up date plans? I don't mind not hearing a confirmation until right before the date, but when there is no time/place agreed upon, I think it's rude to make plans at the last minute. Are my expectations unrealistic? Does this all boil down to these guys being afraid to take things offline? Should I just give up online dating? Since I have had some success with online dating in the past, I feel like I should stick with it, but it frustrates me that this time around it's just been one disappointment after another.
– Over the Dating Scene, MA
There's a lot of nonsense in the online dating world, OTDS. There's also a lot of nonsense in the off-line dating world, so it's difficult to avoid. Some people are rude. Some people don't know how to communicate. And yes, some people would rather send a bunch of weird text messages than actually see you in person. But there are good catches out there, which is why you have to keep at it.
You can benefit from your negative experiences by setting some rules for yourself. You now know that you should avoid texting before a first date. Don't give anyone your phone number until you've already agreed on the specifics of a plan (time, date, place, etc.). Some of these people will flake out no matter what, but hopefully you'll cut out some of the ridiculousness by confirming the details of a date before there's any off-line communication.
For the record, your expectations are fair. It's rude to make last-minute plans, especially for a first date. Just keep working at it and balancing your dating life with friends and good television. If you don't take time off from the hunt, you're bound to lose your cool.
Readers? Have people stopped making plans? Does texting complicate the process? When do you give someone your number? Should she continue online dating or try something else? Help.
– Meredith

Edison, BP Plan $1 Billion California Hydrogen Power Plant
Reuters, Planet Ark
BP and Edison International said Friday they plan to team up on a $1 billion hydrogen-fueled power plant in southern California.
The plant, near the BP refinery in Carson 20 miles (32 km) south of Los Angeles, would come online by 2011 and generate 500 megawatts of electricity, about enough to power 325,000 homes.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the plant would be the first in America to use a new process that uses a chemical process to produce clean-burning hydrogen from petroleum coke, a residue from refining crude oil.
The hydrogen is burned to fuel the power plant. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide produced in the process of extracting hydrogen from coke is caught and stored.
Rather than being released into the air, about 90 percent of the gas would be trapped and injected into a natural reservoir thousands of feet underground, where it would stimulate additional oil production, BP said.
(13 Feb 2006)
Really this is a power plant which burns petroleum coke via a hydrogen middleman. There might be some advantages from a carbon sequestration perspective (itself a rather new and not widely tested concept); separating the carbon dioxide emmissions earlier in the process might well be easier than trying to capture it from exhaust fumes. However the project's other great advantage might be merely to allow the Governator to utter the H word again… -AF
China's fast breeders
C Raja Moham, India Express
While the Indian Department of Atomic Energy insists on building its fast breeder programme in splendid isolation, China is on fast track development of a breeder programme. With a little help, of course, from Russia.
Although Chinese engineers have been working on fast reactor physics since the 1960s, there has been an acceleration of the breeder reactor programme in the last few years.

Tip sheet for journalists: How energy-positive is ethanol, really?
Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ)
Thanks to state and federal energy policy (steered in large measure by the agriculture lobby), ethanol has become one of the most popular forms of renewable vehicle fuel in the US. However, if you consider everything that goes into making ethanol, as well as its byproducts and waste products, does it truly represent a net increase or decrease in overall fossil energy consumption?
…There's no easy answer to the ethanol economics debate, but it does pay to ask questions about it. When considering local sources of ethanol or biodiesel, crunch the numbers. Try asking:
1. What is the energy content of a gallon of the renewable fuel? (In megajoules or another standard energy unit.)
2. How much biomass feedstock (corn, etc.) does it take to produce a gallon of the fuel? How much energy was required to produce that biomass? (Consider farm equipment, fertilizers, pest management, transportation, storage, etc.)
3. What other substances are required, in which quantities, to produce a gallon of the fuel? (Process chemicals, etc.) How much energy was required to produce each of these?
4. How much energy is required to manufacture a gallon of the renewable fuel? And, on average, to transport and store it?
…Add the answers to 2, 3, and 4 together, and subtract that figure from 1. If the answer is a positive number, ethanol is net energy positive in that case. Perform similar calculations to determine the energy economics of gasoline in your region. You can also extrapolate from this calculation to compare greenhouse gas emissions.
The energy and environmental impacts of ethanol, and how they compare to those of gasoline, can vary substantially by region, feedstock (or petroleum source), and manufacturing process.
(15 February 2006)
From the Society of Environmental Journalists. Two other questions. 1) What will be the effect of constant cropping on soils, if ethanol production is expanded to a large scale? 2) What will be the effect on the food prices and the foodsupply? -BA
An energy revolution (alcohol)
Robert Zubrin, The American Enterprise
The world economy is currently running on a resource that is controlled by our enemies. This threatens to leave us prostrate. It must change—and the good news is that it can change, quickly.
…Ritualistic calls by utopians, moralists, and environmental absolutists for energy conservation are utterly inadequate and doomed to failure.
…Today's favorite alternatives to oil are wind, solar, hydroelectric, and nuclear power. They each have strengths and weaknesses, but the bottom line is that these are all methods of generating electricity—and electricity is far from the central issue of energy independence. The United States has plenty of coal, and if necessary could easily generate all of its electric power that way.
The key to energy independence, rather, is liquid fuel to power cars, trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes. These vehicles are not mere conveniences; they are the sinews of our economy and the fundamental instruments of our military strength. Our civilization cannot be sustained without efficient liquid fuels, and there is no foreseeable prospect whatsoever of cost effective, large-scale generation of liquid fuels from wind, solar, hydroelectric, or nuclear sources.
…To liberate ourselves from the threat of foreign economic domination, undercut the financiers of terror, and give ourselves the free hand necessary to deal with Middle Eastern extremists, we must devalue their resources and increase the value of our own. We can do this by taking the world off the petroleum standard and putting it on an alcohol standard.
Dr. Robert Zubrin, president of the aerospace engineering and research firm Pioneer Astronautics, wrote The Case for Mars, and other books.
(15 February 2006)
For more on Dr. Zubrin, see Wikipedia. Zubrin's argument of energy policy as an instrument of national security is similar to that of NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman,
ex-CIA director R. James Woolsey and many others. Unfortunately, Zubrin's analysis is less balanced than theirs, and seems to be fixated on one magic technology: alcohol. Almost all serious energy planners agree that a solution will involve multiple approaches, and that conservation and efficiency are key. Not to mention the serious doubts about the energy efficiency of the ethanol process.
On the other hand, it's great to see the conservative American Enterprise publishing a serious article on energy, which even mentions (gasp!) government intervention. How the taboos are falling. -BA

Hybrid perks may become problems
Steven Ginsberg, Washington Post
As Vehicles Pack HOV Lanes, Experts Fear Advantages Could Turn Counterproductive
The purchase of a hybrid car is more and more likely to put its driver into a privileged class of motorist with access to carpool lanes, special parking spots and other perks — the kinds of things most drivers can only dream about when they're stuck in traffic or circling a block.
But many commuters and some transportation experts say the generous incentives intended to reduce oil consumption and help clean the air are working too well and are in danger of becoming unfair, unnecessary and, ultimately, counterproductive.
…An incentive — whether it's access to a carpool lane or cut-rate financing — still aims to put another car on the road, and that undermines efforts to encourage carpooling.
…According to statistics maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency, the cleanest and most popular hybrids, the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic, emit half as many smog-causing pollutants as a standard Honda Accord, Ford Explorer and other popular models.
In most cases, that clearly favors hybrids. But in carpool lanes, where two or three passengers are normally required, the benefits are negated. A car such as the Explorer with three people in it, for instance, pollutes less than three hybrids with solo travelers.
(14 February 2006)
Eric de Place recommended this article in a post at Gristmill. He writes:
There's growing reason to believe that those incentives for hybrids will make things worse — actually generating more gasoline use, not less. That's because many of the incentives confuse the means for the end.
Reducing fuel use (and attendant GHG emissions, air pollution, etc.) is the goal; getting drivers into hybrids is simply one instrument in pursuit of that goal.
Senators oppose Bush cuts to coal research and development
Noelle Straub, Independent Record (Helena, Montana)
WASHINGTON – Sen. Craig Thomas, R-Wyo., questioned Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman on Thursday over funding cuts to clean coal technologies in President Bush's proposed 2007 budget as other Western lawmakers also criticized the cuts and vowed to restore funding.
At a Senate Energy Committee hearing on the department's budget, Thomas pressed Bodman about the proposed reductions in Bush's budget for coal-to-gas conversion, clean coal technologies and research and development funds.
Thomas said the budget focuses on long-term projects he supports but does not address short-term energy issues facing the country. He told Bodman that private interests in Wyoming have real opportunities to implement coal-to-gas conversion technologies but that they need some federal assistance.
"I'm talking about doing something in the next two, three years to convert coal to gas," Thomas said. "And yet there's not much support for that in this budget."
Bodman replied that conversion technologies are "simply a priority."
"We can't do everything and so this is what the process produced as a balance between where we think the real impact can be from the department, and I can't say anything more than that," Bodman said.

Cardinals sign four Dominican prospects
SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after the start of the international signing period, the Cardinals announced that they signed four players from the Dominican Republic. The group includes right-handed pitchers Junior Fernandez and Sebastian Nunez, shortstop Starlin Balbuena and second baseman Ezequiel Delgado.
MLB.com previously reported the signing of Balbuena to a $300,000 bonus.
Fernandez, 17, will begin his professional career on Saturday when he joins the Cardinals' Dominican Summer League team. The other three, because of their ages, have signed contracts for 2015 and are subject to approval by Major League Baseball's Office of the Commissioner. Balbuena and Delgado are 16 years old. Nunez turned 17 in mid-May.
The Cardinals have been allotted a bonus pool of $1,866,300 for this yearlong signing period. Clubs that spend in excess of their pool will be subject to fines and future signing limitations.

Man arrested with stolen truck
Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies arrested a 26-year-old Salinas man late Wednesday night after he was spotted in a stolen truck.
A deputy driving on Freedom Boulevard just before midnight spotted a blue pickup in the parking lot of a Quik Stop. As the officer neared the truck, the passenger and the driver both got out and took off on food toward Compton Terrace.
With the assistance of Watsonville police officers, the deputy tried to catch up with the pair and a perimeter was set up.
Eventually, another deputy spotted Roger Martinez Pajimola, who matched the description of the driver, walking on Freedom Boulevard and was able to apprehend him.
The truck was determined to be stolen out of Salinas, although one of the license plates was traced back to a different car, deputy April Skalland said.
Inside the truck, deputies found a piece of someone else's Fed Ex mail, boxes of motor oil and other stolen items. They also found a shaved key in the ignition. Skalland said Pajimola also admitted to being part of a criminal gang. The passenger was not apprehended.
Martinez was arrested on suspicion of committing mail theft, possessing stolen property, possessing burglary tools and participating in a street gang. He was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail.
Guidance issued on fighting attackers
In light of a home invasion Wednesday in which a couple fought the intruders, Santa Cruz police have issued some guidance on whether citizens should fight back during an attack.
The question is complex and cannot be answered with a simple yes or no, officers said. Each set of circumstances is different. Each person has a different comfort level with their own capabilities to resist or survive an attack. The priority is to survive, police said.
"Above all, do what you have to do to survive and minimize harm to yourself," Deputy Chief Steve Clark said on the department's blog. "Escape harm. Get yourself out of harm's way as soon as the opportunity presents itself."
It's also important to observe and be a good witness. That way, accurate information can be provided to police to help them identify a suspect, make an arrest and put together a good case for prosecution.
Citizens should consider the risks and potential harm of fighting back versus cooperating, as well as their comfort with their own fighting skills. They also should consider the suspect's abilities and whether they are armed.
SJ woman impersonates cousin
A San Jose woman arrested on theft charges pretended to be her cousin when she was apprehended, Scotts Valley police said.
Officers received a report Monday afternoon of a woman stealing alcohol and other items from the Scotts Valley Market. She left without paying for the items, which were stuffed in her purse, Lt. John Hohmann said.
Officers located Krissie Brown, 40, at a nearby fast food restaurant where she admitted to taking the items and turned them over to police. She was arrested on suspicion of burglary and booked into Santa Cruz County Jail. Unfortunately, she was booked under the wrong name. Brown's cousin somehow discovered Brown had given police her name instead of Brown's own. She reported the lie to officers.
Brown was then arrested on an additional charge of impersonating another person for the purposes of liability.
Suspected thief pleads not guilty
A Watsonville man suspected of stealing $7,000 worth of long-stemmed roses pleaded not guilty in Santa Cruz County Superior Court Thursday and was released from custody on his own recognizance.
Saul Rodriguez, 35, is slated for a preliminary hearing on March 18 on a felony burglary charge. He was ordered to stay away from Monterey Bay Bouquet on San Andreas Road, the business from which the roses were taken and where he used to work.
Rodriguez was arrested by Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies Monday upon turning himself in.
The flowers were stolen on Jan. 31.
Rodriguez was unable to sell the flowers and ditched them off Highway 152, deputy April Skalland said.
Postponement granted in fraud case
A Santa Cruz man charged with eight counts of wire fraud is due back in federal court April 17.
A federal grand jury in December indicted Robert Rinehart, 49, on the charges. He pleaded not guilty in January. Rinehart appeared in U.S. District Court in San Jose on Wednesday where a federal judge granted the defense's motion to postpone the case. Rinehart and his attorney, Robert Carlin, are due back in court April 17 for a status hearing, court records show.
Rinehart, who is out of custody on a bail bond, is accused of stealing $500,000 from investors who believed they were investing in his company, Argento Development Group. Prosecutors contend Rinehart used the investors' money to pay for his personal living expenses while leading his investors to believe their money was being spent on the purchase, improvement and resale of foreclosed properties.
87-year-old sex offender arrested
An 87-year-old Gilroy man was arrested this week for failing to register as a sex offender.
Patrick Silvester Gaines was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies.
Gaines had been in violation of registration requirements since July, according to the state's Megan's Law registry. He has a prior conviction for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old. Further information about that conviction wasn't immediately available Thursday.
Judge Paul Burdick released Gaines to the custody of his son-in-law and ordered him to register with the state's sex offender registry out of Gilroy. Gaines is due back in court on March 19 to set a preliminary hearing.

Wow, Kalyn, what a beautiful herb garden! The variety of herbs you have on hand is mind-boggling. I wish I was your neighbor so I could ask for a sprig or two :)ReplyDelete
I have many of the same herbs in my garden -- just planted my basil today -- but my favorite is thyme, which I seem to use on everything in the summer. I love the lemon thyme, too.ReplyDelete
I am ridiculously jealous of your herb garden! Most of our land is paved or houses trees, so unfortunately I have very little growing space...ah well, one day :)ReplyDelete
You have got the best selection of herbs ever! I was wondering about your basil too and thinking about maybe getting a glue trap and cutting it to fit around the base of one of your plants and perhaps the culprits will get stuck there, so then you will know what you are up against. Just an idea.ReplyDelete
ooo :) and you are growing these on a flat plot of land it looks like? :) so much fun! does it smell lovely too? :) i'm jealous! :DReplyDelete
What a wonderful bounty you have there! All those possibilities! I'm very impressed :)ReplyDelete
I'd love to have my own veggie and herb garden, like you have, one day. Great job!ReplyDelete
Nupur, if you were my neighbor I'd give you as many herbs as you wanted if only you'd cook some Indian food for me once in a while.ReplyDelete
Lydia, I haven't tried lemon thyme. Will look for it.
Ellie, you could grow some herbs in pots. They are really quite wonderful.
Neil, interesting idea. I might try it. But what if it's flying insects? I'm quite sure it's not snails, at least it wasn't last year. They are only eating the lettuce leaf basil, which is supposed to be milder.
Trinigourmet, there's not really a smell yet, but later in the summer you can sometimes smell the herbs. I grow most of these in a strip along the edge of my garden.
Truffle, thanks. I love it.
Paz, you have the energy of New York City, which is also a nice thing. You can't have it all! I could use a bit more energy around here sometimes, but I guess most of the time I like the peacefulness.
I too plant lots of herbs in pots outside my kitchen door, then when the weather is horrible I don't have too far to go! Its so much more sensible to grown them than buying them from the supermarket.ReplyDelete
Your herbs all look lovely!ReplyDelete
I do the same with the basil - most from seeds but a few big ones to get me started.
That golden oregano is lovely!
It's a bit like being a detective. If you put a glue trap and something is still eating that plant then you know it's a flying insect or maybe caterpillars, but you should be able to find those. It's quite surprising the number of crawling plant eating insects that live near by. If you eliminate one group of insects, you can target more effectively.ReplyDelete
Margaret, I agree. Plus when you grow your own herbs, you can cut just what you need and you don't waste them!ReplyDelete
Lydia, I really like the mild flavor of the Golden Oregano too.
Neil, I'm going to get some and see what I can catch. (It's called Flypaper in the U.S.)
Now that's a garden!ReplyDelete
I'm so jealous, especially of the thai basil!ReplyDelete
Your garden is lovely!!! My little parsley plant is struggling for life (but doing ok), so I really love hearing about successful gardeners. :)ReplyDelete
Someday maybe I will join the ranks.
Lovely, lovely...as is your entire blog!
That all looks absolutely fantastic. I can't tell you how much I want an herb garden. Is there some place on line that you recommend for seeds?ReplyDelete
Chris, I am pretty lucky to have such a big garden. Of course, we're never satisfied, so now I want raised beds so there aren't so many weeds!ReplyDelete
Burcu, wish I could send you some.
Kirsten, there's nothing more fun than having a garden for people who really love to cook. I sometimes think about moving to a house with less upkeep, but I think I'd miss my garden too much.
Maryam, I haven't ever bought seeds online, and actually don't plant too many seeds except for basil, arugula, and chard. I bet herbs would grow wonderfully well where you are though!
Kalyn, your herb collection looks wonderful. Tarragon has such a lovely anise flavor. Our tarragon overwintered (to my surprise) and I discovered this weekend that it tastes great with carrots. I made a simple salad with shredded carrots, chopped tarragon and a vinegarette. It was lovely.ReplyDelete
I've heard marjoram is supposed to be very good with tomatoes, though I've never tried it.
Your herbs look great already. Did you plant any lemon verbena? I remember you gave us some last year and it was the most heavenly scent ever!ReplyDelete
Christa, I've seen a recipe for a carrot salad with tarragon somewhere, and it sounds wonderful. When I get more tarragon I definitely want to try it.ReplyDelete
Maria, the lemon verbena didn't survive the winter. I didn't use it much last year (despite the great smell) so I didn't plant it this year.
Your garden is looking great. I need to get some more herbs for mine. Isn't it great being able to just go out to the backyard and get fresh herbs while you're cooking.ReplyDelete
Your herbs looks so wonderful! It always makes me feel so good to see herbs growing in a garden. I need to plant more of them and you have inspired me to do that.ReplyDelete
So jealous! You have an amazing herb garden. How lucky to be able to grab tons of fresh herbs right out of your back yard.ReplyDelete
That's a spectacular garden! I grow a few herbs in pots on my porch. I had a hard time finding thai basil seedlings but it turned out that the bunch of basil I bought at the farmer's market was thai basil. I stuck them in water and one started growing roots before I finished using it all so I'll stick it in a pot and hope it grows. :)ReplyDelete
Oh! What a wonderful herb garden you have! You are so lucky :) I would love to have something like this...even half of this! :)ReplyDelete
Sylvie, there's nothing like fresh herbs to make me want to cook!ReplyDelete
Sher, your garden is looking great too. I wish I had the raised beds like you have.
Sara, I admit, it's the best.
Amy, that's interesting. I haven't heard of starting basil like that, but I might try it too.
Joey, thanks. I am thankful for my garden.
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.

A social security office is a branch of the federal government that provides retirement and disability benefits. The office helps people apply for and receive benefits. The financial benefits provided through social security include an annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). This service increases the value of benefits paid to adjust for consumer price increases during times of inflation.
How do I apply for a new card or get a replacement card?
The government issues social security cards at no cost to people qualified to receive benefits. Social security offices offer online services, including an application for a replacement card if one is lost. If you're unable to get a replacement card by applying online, you'll need to visit your local social security office in person during business hours.
What do I do if I think someone is using my Social Security Number?
There are several things that you can do if someone is using your name or identity. The first thing to do is to check your annual or quarterly earning statement. If there are any changes, you should contact your local office immediately. If you suspect fraud, you should file a complaint with your local police department.

Imagine this: Your 15-year-old son becomes seriously ill. Is it cancer or some other life-threatening disease? You whisk him off to the emergency room. Within days, you have updates on Facebook. "Billy is doing much better." "The medicine is working!" "He's going to be OK."
Many of us have experienced that scenario in our lives. But how many of us also experience this similar situation:
Your 15-year-old son becomes seriously ill. He is afraid to leave the house; he suffers severe mood swings and destructive behavior. You chastise him, you take away his computer or gaming system, and you force him into the car to go to school. You say nothing about your daily struggles to friends and family. You make up excuses for missing family gatherings. You are too ashamed to seek help.
When it comes to mental illness, we hide the truth. We don't share our stories on social media. Who has ever shouted for joy that the new medication is helping your son's severe anxiety? Or that your daughter finally got approved for residential treatment for her schizophrenia?
Those suffering from mental illness refrain from discussing their problems. Employees fear the loss of their job; individuals fear losing a loved one when the truth is revealed. Patients hesitate to be frank with their doctors.
Those of us spared dealing with mental illness are clueless as how to help a friend or coworker whose life is being turned upside down.
Yet mental illness is all around us.
Depression affects 10 percent of Americans. We are stunned to hear that actor Robin Williams – someone who seemingly had everything – took his own life. According to the American Psychiatric Association, "Depression is never normal and always produces needless suffering."
One in 10 children are affected by depression, anxiety or other mental illness, according to bringchange2mind.org, a national initiative to educate and fight the stigma of mental illness.
Some 25 million Americans have some type of anxiety disorder.
On a national scale, shootings like the one at Sandy Hook in 2012 put mentally ill individuals into the headlines. In those worst cases, we shudder when the evening's newscasts bring us horrific video of a shooting scene.
But mental health issues touch us in many other ways, every day. Families struggle when dad is unable to hold down a job, or a daughter threatens suicide.
Our workplaces are affected, too. A coworker with mental health issues drains time and hurts morale. Those outbursts shatter the workday, creating a tense and hostile work team.
On a practical note, undiagnosed and untreated mental illness hits us in the pocketbook. Some 30-40 percent of those in our county jails are mentally ill, not criminals, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek and many other law enforcement officials from throughout the country will tell you. Their issues consume extensive staffing hours and tax dollars just to maintain and move these people through the system, while hard-core criminals go free.
Our medical system is burdened by mentally ill who cannot or will not seek regular doctor's care. One out of eight emergency room visits are for mental health issues. Again, we help to pick up the tab through government social services and health care subsidies.
Some new laws have helped. Our state's sheriffs, with Stanek leading the charge, were successful with legislation that speeds the process for assessing an inmate's mental state. "Local jails should not be the largest mental health facilities in the state," Stanek says.
Organizations like NAMI – the National Association on Mental Illness – are actively urging Congress to pass important legislation: The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act and the Strengthening Mental Health in our Communities Act of 2014 should be approved.
The Affordable Care Act says that mental health issues need to be covered and treated the same as physical health ailments, but Medicare and Medicaid still do not pay as much for inpatient treatment for the mentally ill, encouraging private facilities to reduce their mental illness services.
We are blessed in Minnesota to have top-notch health care. We have clinics that specialize in mental health issues, some focusing specifically on young people. Yet we still keep the illnesses, the symptoms and treatment quiet. We are unprepared when illness strikes our own family or friends.
A local campaign, supported by many Minnesota health organizations including the Mayo Clinic and HealthPartners called "Make It OK" (makeitok.org), offers simple ways to start a conversation about mental illness. It urges everyone to stop the silence, and be prepared to react and open up the discussion, not shut it down: "Thanks for opening up to me." "Do you want to talk about it?" "How can I help?"
The initiative urges everyone to take a pledge to help make it OK to discuss mental illness. One of the key points says, "If we join together, people with mental illnesses will be treated with respect and acceptance. This is how I'll help remove the silence surrounding mental illness. This is how I will make it OK."
It is time for everyone to stop hiding mental illness, and start talking. Only when we as a society admit this huge problem exists will we be able to work together to foster good mental health for all.

SANTA CLARA -- If the 49ers want receiving help, Jerry Rice is willing to contribute -- as a consultant.
No, Rice isn't looking to put back on a 49ers uniform, three years after getting enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his unparalleled, 20-year career.
Nor is Rice looking at becoming a full-time coach. But to "maybe counsel these guys, I'd love to do that," Rice said Monday on a media conference call promoting his role in the upcoming Golf Channel series "Big Break NFL Puerto Rico."
The 49ers (2-2) have had scant production from receivers other than Anquan Boldin and tight end Vernon Davis. That wasn't unexpected, not after leading wideout Michael Crabtree tore an Achilles in May and is likely out until at least December.
"With the Niners right now, you have a young corps of receivers," Rice, 50, said. "Of course Anquan Boldin has been around a long time and has had a lot of success. Beside that, it's a young group.
"If I could pass knowledge on to them, it'd be fantastic and something I'd pursue down the road."
Coach Jim Harbaugh is not believed to be seeking outside input, nor has there been any public criticism of receivers coach John Morton or first-year offensive assistant Ronald Curry. Harbaugh hasn't shied away from hiring consultants, however, and former Jets and Browns coach Eric Mangini is in his first year as a senior offensive consultant.
Curry and Rice were Raiders teammates from 2002-2004. Rice played from 1985-2000 with the 49ers before moving on to the Raiders and finishing his playing days later in 2004 with the Seattle Seahawks. Rice attended 2005 training camp with the Denver Broncos before retiring.
Returning to the NFL as a full-time coach isn't enticing to Rice: "Maybe the coaching role, I feel you really don't have a life. You have to be totally committed to it. I spent so many years committing myself to the game of football."
Boldin accounts for 24 of the team's 68 receptions, and he is averaging a team-high 15.5 yards per catch with two touchdowns. The 49ers' other three receiving touchdowns have come from Davis, who's averaging 12.4 yards per catch with 11 receptions.
Kyle Williams ranks third with nine receptions (9.7 ypc.), followed by fullback Bruce Miller (eight catches, 78 yards), running back Frank Gore (five catches, 56 yards). Rookie tight end Vance McDonald has just one catch in each of his first four games, none longer than his 25-yard debut effort.
Marlon Moore had only one catch for 6 yards before his deactivation Thursday in favor of Jon Baldwin, who will have an expanded role. Rookie Quinton Patton likely will miss the next four games recovering from a broken foot. Patton had no receptions through three games but served in the No. 2 role Thursday night before his foot injury.
About 1½ years ago, Rice offered to help tutor A.J. Jenkins upon his selection as the 49ers' first-round draft pick. It's believed Jenkins never took Rice up on the offer. Jenkins got traded in August to the Kansas City Chiefs after a zero-catch rookie season.
A three-time Super Bowl champion with the 49ers, Rice is the NFL's record holder for receptions (1,549), receiving yards (22,895), receiving touchdowns (197), total touchdowns (208) and 1,000-yard receiving seasons (14).
Rice's competitive drive has carried over to his post-retirement endeavors, such as appearing on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and golfing on the Nationwide Tour.
In his latest endeavor, Rice recently finished shooting for the Golf Channel's "Big Break NFL Puerto Rico," where he competed with five other ex-NFL players: Tim Brown, Chris Doleman, Marc Bulger, Al Del Greco and Mark Rypien. The show premiers next Tuesday, Oct. 8, and will air weekly on Tuesday nights (6 p.m. PT).
"It was very competitive," Rice said. "And when you get so many ballplayers together, that competitive nature comes out. Yeah I wanted to be beat Tim Brown, I wanted to beat all those guys. It was a lot of fun."

So I've been fooling around with a ton of fairway drivers recently and was wondering if there was something specific about discraft's X plastic that pushes discs understable? I recently got a cyclone and an XL with hopes of finding something stable in a plastic (X) that is comfortable in my hand. However, I've found both of these discs to fly fairly understable for me. I'm by no means a bomber (I get both of these out to 280-300 fairly consistently) but I was looking for something with more of an Eagleish flight path in a plastic that isn't dx (all my local store carries the eagle in is dx)
Is this something to be aware of with X plastic? I can hyzer flip the cyclone no problem (it feels more like a leo than an eagle to actually) but the XD is straight and the turns over just about every time.

Draft deadline passes with no new Brewers signings
WASHINGTON -- The Brewers closed the book on their 2014 First-Year Player Draft class with no additional signings ahead of a Friday evening deadline.
So the Brewers signed 26 drafted players in all, plus one undrafted player. Each of the team's first 16 selections came to terms.
"Bruce [Seid, Milwaukee's amateur scouting director] had a couple guys, last-minute, he was talking to," general manager Doug Melvin said. "We didn't think we were going to get them signed. They were later Draft picks."
The Brewers' top unsigned pick was Canadian prep left-hander Ben Onyshko, who was drafted in the 16th round.
Also unsigned was the top overall pick in the Draft, left-hander Brady Aiken, whose tentative agreement with the Astros was scuttled by concerns about his pitching elbow, reportedly related to his ulnar collateral ligament. The Draft system is much different today, but the situation conjured some memories for Melvin of 1996, when, as Rangers GM, he drafted right-hander R.A. Dickey 18th overall out of the University of Tennessee.
The sides agreed to an $810,000 bonus before a Rangers physician noticed a photo of Dickey in which his right arm was hanging at an odd angle. Upon physical exam, the team discovered Dickey had been pitching without a UCL.
Melvin and the Rangers subsequently lowered their bonus offer to $75,000.
"That was one of the toughest decisions I ever made," Melvin said. "I felt bad for the kid. I knew he didn't want to go back to school. We didn't want to take advantage of him. He just didn't have a ligament in there. We asked ourselves, 'Why didn't we do this [physical] ahead of time?' But back then, you didn't do it ahead of time."
The Astros will own the second overall pick next year as compensation for not signing Aiken. Melvin believes the recently-revamped system could still use some tweaking related to medical information.
"The problem you have today sometimes, the agents don't want to do physicals," he said. "But I am a little surprised that if you're drafting No. 1, you're not allowed to get physicals on the top 3-4 guys you're thinking about."
