Navy Seal Shoots Himself While Showing Off His Gun To Woman He Met In Bar.. Trying To Impress The Lady!
"A Navy SEAL, who is the son of a local businessman, is on life support after accidentally shooting himself in the head in San Diego early Thursday. According to reports, 22-year-old Geno Clayton, son of Clayton Heating & Air Conditioning Co. owner Gene Clayton, was handling the gun and pointed it at his head to show a woman he knew that it wasn't loaded. He pulled the trigger and shot himself, according to police. Reports state Clayton and the woman had been drinking at a local bar prior to the 2 a.m. shooting, which took place at a house in Pacific Beach. Authorities initially reported Clayton had died, but he remains on life support. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is assisting San Diego police with the investigation, according to police. A Naval spokesman said Clayton had completed the basic SEAL course and had just finished up his qualification training and checked into one of the Navy SEAL teams in the past week. " - wkbn

For the most part, all of the recipes I have tried from this book are made with ease and a minimal amount of preparation and cooking times, and everything that I have made is truly delicious and pleasing to the palate. Simplicity and ease does not mean that you won't be able to turn out meals that taste like they have come from a gourmet restaurant. This book certainly doesn't gather dust on my shelf and I find myself constantly browsing through the pages finding more recipes I can't wait to try — yep, more post-it notes.
Essential spice blends and pastes, appetizers, paneer dishes, legume curries, vegetables curries, rice dishes and accompaniments treat the cook and this book is highly recommended by my kitchen. I have no affiliation with the author but am simply an adoring fan.
I never can get enough mushrooms it seems and they go so well in a creamy sauce like the one in this recipe. Exactly the sort of side dish I wanted to whip up to serve to my friend Basil when he came over for dinner. I sliced the mushrooms into large chunks for an especially satisfying burst of meaty mushroom goodness. I've made this twice already and surely it won't be for the last time either.

Growing up in one of wrestling's most famous families, it was impossible for Jade Hart not to consider pursuing the sport herself.
"I definitely contemplated it, but I just didn't share the same passion," said the 28-year-old daughter of former wrestling star Bret "Hitman" Hart and granddaughter of late Stampede Wrestling founder Stu Hart.
That's not to say her father didn't inspire her most recent career choice.
Bret's travels to and from Japan during his time as a pro wrestler often saw him return with kimonos for Jade's mom and aunt.
"I was raised by women wearing kimonos," she said.
"They did the housework in them."
During her own pregnancy in 2009-2010, Jade found herself craving the comfort of the kimonos she'd seen worn around her house as a child.
She started looking for one, but found the selection either cheap and cheesy or too expensive.
"I just started sketching," said Jade.
"All I had was an idea. I drew it on paper and tweaked it 'til it was perfect."
Research led her to a woman who could manufacture the design.
Despite her lack of any education in fashion design but serious about the potential for a small business start-up, Jade approached her dad for an investment.
"A lot of my kids come up to me with harebrained ideas, but Jade's was really good," said Bret, adding he's had to shoot down past pipe dreams, but this time his daughter had drawn up an impressive business plan.
"She did her homework," he said.
"I have a lot of faith in Jade, she's always had a kooky fashion sense."
The wrestling legend said his firstborn has always been an "in charge," and "lead-by-example," optimist — qualities he thinks will help her new business, Jade Hart Kimonos, succeed.
As for whether he ever hoped Jade would follow in his footsteps, the answer is no, said Bret.
The fact her idea had nothing to do with wrestling was actually one of the reasons he threw his support behind the project, he said, laughing.
"This is the first of the Harts to step out into the fashion world," said Bret, adding he'd be happy to see his family's name develop a following for something new.
"I'd be really happy and I'm sure my parents would be really happy to see the Hart name stay alive.
"I'm really happy for her."

HydroPanel II Shower System with HydroGuard PB410 Pressure Balancing Valve
HydroPanel II Series 450-0410P Shower System combines pressure balanced water control with the convenience of modular shrouding. HydroPanel II's stainless steel shrouding provides a concealed shower system where in-wall piping does not exist or may not be practical. The single unit shower mounts easily onto preassembled copper tubing with just three screws. Behind the shroud, a HydroGuard 410 valve uses a proven poppet/diaphragm cartridge to balance hot and cold water supply flows. This sensitive diaphragm responds immediately to supply pressure changes to maintain the user adjusted bathing temperature. If either supply pressure fails, the valve virtually shuts off. HydroPanel II units can be used for new or retrofit applications, such as single showers or for complete shower rooms. They are ideal in schools, health clubs, factories, and remodeled older buildings. Optional hand-held showers mounted on vertical glide rails provide easy shower access for users with limited mobility. Optional HydroPanel II Modular Shrouding provides easy to install, interlocking stainless steel panels to conceal all exposed room piping.

PASADENA, CA – eHarmony has once again come under serious scrutiny. Critics of the popular dating site allege that it does not allow for humans to be paired up with aliens.
After defending its practice of excluding same-sex couples, eHarmony must again stand by its methods. Founder Neil Clark Warren, PhD, psychologist and author of several books about relationships, claims that he simply has not done the same amount of research on alien matchmaking as he has with human matchmaking.
"You gotta be kidding me," exclaimed an exasperated Warren. "I'm not even convinced aliens exist. How would I even know what they like in a mate?"
Prentice Fusilier, attorney from the Intergalactic Civil Liberties Union, filed a lawsuit on behalf of their reclusive client, Zanbar, claiming that eHarmony's policy against aliens violates California's laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
"Orientation? We don't know if these things have orientations… or genders for that matter," persisted Warren.
Fusilier is hoping to get a decision in the case before the ultra-conservative Overlord-elect Zorock comes in to power.

Since starting my supermarket oils guide, I've received dozens of requests for an opinion on Trader Joe's olive oil offerings. Earlier this month I finally visited a Trader Joe's store in Spokane, Washington, where I bought six oils and tasted them at home. Results were mixed.
The Good News: The Premium 100% Greek Kalamata was quite good at an excellent price, and two other oils – the California Estate and the Premium Extra Virgin – were authentic extra virgins and good values. (Details on each oil below.)
The Bad News: I was sorry to see that Trader Joe's sometimes plays the same marketing bait and switch as many other supermarkets. One of the oils was labeled "Trader Giotto's" and "packed in Itay," yet in fine print in back, lasered onto the glass, was the message that it was a blend of "oils from Italy, Spain, Greece, Tunisia". None of the bottles mentioned the specific place where the olives were grown, the name of the grower, or the harvest date, all of which consumers should know. In 4 of 6 products, the olive cultivar was not identified, likewise important information. Also, in all but 1 case the Best By Date (BBD) was much too distant: even the good oils I tasted will go bad long before they reach these dates.
Worst of all, 3 out of the 6 oils I tasted were defective, meaning that they shouldn't be labeled "extra virgin" in the first place.
Premium 100% Greek Kalamata
1 liter for $8.99
Aroma: spicy, complex, very fresh
Flavor: nice mature fruit, real zing of pungency, pleasant bitterness, a gentle nutmeg-like spiciness
Label: "Earthy flavor, delicate aroma, smooth finish." Don't know what any of this means, and "earthy" isn't exactly what you'd want in olive oil (in fact, it's a defect). But I really liked this oil.
Miscellaneous: Nice deep green color, very agreeable mouthfeel (pleasantly pasty)
BBD 02/10/2014 (credible)
California Estate Olive Oil
500 ml for $5.99
Aroma: very full ripe fruit
Flavor: typical of well-made arbequina: gentle, balanced, sweetish in a good way, quite spicy finish
Label: identifies the olive cultivar (arbequina), which is important information. "Lively olive flavor, mild peppery finish" (I agree with the latter, at least). But no BBD visible on the bottle, which is a big demerit, especially since this oil, like most arbequinas, will probably deteriorate fast
Premium Extra Virgin
946 ml for $7.99
Aroma: full ripe fruit aroma, a little tired
Flavor: no appreciable bitterness, pleasant pungency (gentle and persistent burn), quite flat and bland, faintly sweet, tastes of arbequina, very fluid in the mouth
Label: imported from Italy, packed in the USA. Made from oils made in Italy, Spain, Argentina and Greece. "Robust, fruity flavor. Full bodied taste. Fragrant and smooth." Sadly, little of this is actually true: I'll go along with smooth, and somewhat fragrant, but that's about it
Miscellaneous: Intense green color
BBD June 2015: This oil is already mature. There is NO WAY it will be good 2 years from now.
Trader José's 100% Spanish Organic
500 ml for $5.99
Aroma: obvious winey-vinegary defect. This isn't extra virgin olive oil.
Flavor: winey-vinegary defect, also slight fustiness, unpleasant and imbalanced. No appreciable pepper, virtually no bitter, almost no fruitiness
Color: brownish, straw-colored (can see why they put in green glass bottle)
BBD 04-2015. If this oil is defective already, it will be appalling in 20 more months.
Trader Giotto's Extra Virgin Olive Oil
500 ml for $3.99
Aroma: Faint ripe olive, very flat and tired - not fresh. There's a noticeable winey-vinegary defect, so it's not extra virgin olive oil at all.
Flavor: winey-vinegary defect, as well as a hint of mold. Faint but unpleasant bitterness, zero complexity. This oil is DOA.
Label: The familiar marketing game: label says "Packed in Italy," though the fine print on the back of the bottle informs you that it's made "with oils from Italy, Spain, Greece, Tunisia."
BBD 10/17/14 Like before, if it's bad now, think what 14 months will do to it.
Trader Giotto's 100% Italian President's Reserve
1 liter for $6.99
Aroma: strong winey-vinegary defect
Flavor: unpleasant bitterness, very stale, little to no fruit flavors. Strong winey-vinegary defect, so it's not extra virgin grade in the first place
Label: "Made from select olives and is cold pressed to provide a distinctive aroma, taste and an intense fruity flavor." All of which is pure marketing malarkey. Says the olives were grown in Puglia, Sicily, and Calabria, so "Product of Italy" seems appropriate here
BBD 10/30/14 Once again, the oil is defective now, so what it will be like in 14 months doesn't bear thinking about.
It's great to find a large-scale retail chain selling good-quality oils at very competitive prices. One of them, anyhow: I found the Premium 100% Greek Kalamata oil a standout. Still, a company with a reputation for food expertise should do better. Think what Trader Joe's could do to spread the good word about great olive oil, if they got serious about oil quality. And in more commercial terms, think what a competitive advantage some drop-dead-gorgeous extra virgins could become for them - "Trader Joe's promises you the real deal in olive oil!"
Truth in Olive Oil calls on Trader Joe's to take a stand on extravirginity, for the sake of their customers.

This past weekend, Greg Oliver and Steven Johnson were the recipients of the James C. Melby Award, an honor only very briefly mentioned by a modest Greg Oliver in his article on SLAM! Wrestling. As Jim's daughter, I feel that this accolade deserves further mention, particularly considering the controversy which occurred during the event banquet and subsequent web discussions.
Anyone who knew my father or knows of his history realizes that he defined himself as a professional writer. Jim Melby began his writing career in professional wrestling at the age of 15, when he took over a local newsletter. Having been a wrestling fan all of his young life, this publication is the foundation for what became his niche in the wrestling world. From this small, local fan letter, Jim went on to partner with Norman Kietzer in Kietzer Publishing known for the numerous nationally distributed magazines. In addition to these publications, Jim also continued to work locally with Wally Karbo, Verne Gagne and the DeRusha family in the AWA territory writing and producing the programs sold at live matches.
During the 2006 George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame award ceremony in Newton, Iowa, Jim was surprised to find himself honored with an award recognizing his years of professional writing, research and collecting. (He was writing a piece on the ceremony for SLAM! Wrestling: Family & faith dominates Tragos/Thesz induction.] The award reads: "The International Wrestling Institute and Museum, in honor of outstanding achievement in chronicling the history of professional wrestling and promoting the sport through his writing, recognizes the following person for his outstanding work. James C. Melby for the year 2006. Be it known that henceforth this award will be known as The James C. Melby Award." Unfortunately, Jim died before the next year's presentation.
In 2007, the award was presented as wished by Jim to Mike Chapman, the Executive Director of the Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute and Museum. Mike is a prolific author with 19 currently published books; an avid collector who lost 40 years worth of archival materials in the recent Waterloo flooding that damaged the museum, and a tireless preservationist and promoter of wrestling both amateur and professional as evidenced by his dedication and work at the museum. It was my honor and privilege to be allowed to present the James C. Melby Award to Mike Chapman at the 2007 induction ceremonies.
This year, I was once again asked if I would like to present the award in my father's stead to Greg Oliver and Steven Johnson. Greg and Steven are both trained, professional journalists with combined decades of published works in wrestling and other areas. In print, they are perhaps best known for their "Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame" series of books. Additionally, they perpetuate the long tradition of promoting wrestling in writing utilizing the technology of the internet with the SLAM! Wrestling and SteelBeltWrestling websites.
Although the award is recent and the list of recipients is short, it is without a doubt elite and prestigious. During his life, my father was proud to stand beside these men and call them colleagues. Since his death, I am just as proud to publicly recognize these men by my involvement at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
Shelley Bonin is the daughter of Jim Melby. Unlike her dad, however, she doesn't wear a tux much.

You can hear John Denver singing "Rocky Mountain High" at the Trading Post at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre.
The late musician is featured prominently in a Colorado Music Hall of Fame exhibit, which includes a video of his performances at Red Rocks in the 1970s. In a room dedicated to Denver, visitors can gaze at a guitar he once played and see stage outfits he wore and handwritten lyrics he composed.
While excited about the recent purchase of the Bergen Park Church building as the new home of the Center for the Arts Evergreen, Steve Sumner, CEA executive director, is now facing the challenge of acquiring funds to renovate it.
"We badly need help," Sumner says. "The building needs to be totally gutted and rebuilt."
Last month the CAE capital campaign committee purchased the property for $500,000. To complete the renovation, another $600,000 is required, according to estimates.
Sometimes it seems the yule season is all about ugly holiday sweaters and who makes the best eggnog. "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," presented by StageDoor Theatre's Junior Company, offers a message of acceptance, forgiveness and recapturing the true meaning of Christmas, even if it's delivered by the most unlikely messengers — ones who probably where ugly holiday sweaters themselves.
The high school cast at StageDoor Theatre in Conifer has been working overtime — much longer than 9 to 5 — to prepare for the opening of the musical "9 to 5," which became famous in the 1980s thanks to the 1979 film and the music of Dolly Parton. Times have changed since the film, but anyone who follows the news knows that office politics and the role of women at work are still as fiercely debated in 2015 as they were in 1979.
The historic Bergen Park Church building will be the new home of the Center for the Arts Evergreen — after an extended search, the arts group's capital campaign committee purchased the property on Friday for $500,000.
"We're very excited about this space," said Steve Sumner, CAE's executive director.
The new location has four times the space of the Miller House, where CAE has been operating for the past 10 years, Sumner said. And its location is ideal, he added.
Four arts organizations in Evergreen have received grants from Colorado Creates, a program of Colorado Creative Industries.
The Evergreen Players are planning to use their $6,500 grant for an educational project called E.P. Studio One, said John Davis, a board member of the organization.
"It's theater arts: acting, improv, set design," Davis said of the initiative. "We've been working on this for a long time."
A premiere exhibit at the Center for the Arts Evergreen showcases the creative talents of four area high school teachers.
Steve Sumner, CAE director, is excited about this first-time opportunity to display the exemplary work of teachers who find time to be artists in addition to their responsibilities as art instructors.
"They're really worthy," he said.
You couldn't open a newspaper or Web browser this summer without hearing about the new novel "Go Set a Watchman." This book was the second published novel of Harper Lee, the famous author of the beloved classic "To Kill a Mockingbird." Although the new book's release caused a resurgence in interest in the reclusive author, interest in Lee's first book never waned, and "To Kill a Mockingbird" is one of the best-selling novels of all time.
Come on, babe. Why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz. That's just what the Evergreen Chorale will be doing when its long-anticipated production of the musical "Chicago" opens Friday.
When the Evergreen Players founded EPiC — Evergreen Players Improv Comedy — in 2010, no one could have predicted how popular the troupe's improvisational comedy shows would become. This weekend, EPiC presents its 12th improv show, and the laughs are guaranteed to be even bigger and more original than before.

The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness
hinges on concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic
imbalance." Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing
through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system,
the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy"
within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels".
The acupuncturist is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating
certain areas along these "meridians". Traditionally these areas or
"acupoints" were stimulated by fine, slender needles. Today, many
additional forms of stimulation are incorporated, including herbs,
electricity, magnets and lasers. Still, the aim remains the same - adjust
the "vital energy" so the proper amount reaches the proper place at the
proper time. This helps your body heal itself.
Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within the coherent system of
healing known as Oriental Medicine. Oriental Medicine includes herbology,
physical therapy, dietetics and special exercises (such as Tai Chi and Qi
Gong), and is a complete medical system unto itself and is not another
branch of modern Western medicine. Acupuncture evolved from principles and
philosophies unique to Oriental thinking and Oriental Medicine, and is most
effectively applied when done in accordance with those principles.
What is the history?
Most experts would say that acupuncture is at least 2000 years old. The
exact age is less important than the fact that Oriental Medicine is the
most widely utilized healing system on this planet.
Its roots are in China, but the fruits of its potential to help the sick
and injured are apparent in many places, including all of Asia, Europe and
Today, the art and science of Acupuncture / Oriental Medicine is still not
understood by many, yet it continues to gain popularity and acceptance
because of one fact - IT WORKS.
How does acupuncture work?
For millennia, the acupuncturist has been engaging subtle human energies,
otherwise known as "Qi". According to time-tested principles unique to
Oriental Medicine, the acupuncturist would assess and adjust the flow and
distribution of "Qi" in order to promote health and healing.
So far, modern research has described various physiological shifts
following acupuncture, such as beneficial changes in the body's own natural
painkillers, anti-inflammatory agents, immune system functions and hormonal
Despite the powerful technology available today, even the modern physicists
cannot explain exactly how this ancient healing therapy works. Perhaps in
the near future, the actual chemical and electromagnetic events that occur
during acupuncture will be described.
Why use Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine?
In addition to being effective for many acute and chronic common illnesses,
Oriental Medicine has much to offer those who wish to raise the quality of
health and vitality. Practitioners of Oriental Medicine operate with
prevention in mind, attempting to correct small energetic imbalances before
they become big health problems.

In bequeathing a 19-year-old son and a husband beset by charges of corruption the reins of her party, Benazir Bhutto went to extraordinary lengths to ensure that control of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) remained in family hands.
The very mode of the declaration Sunday would be unheard of by the Western standards of election war rooms and party caucuses. But it is quintessential South Asia, where many parties are not breeding grounds of new talent but fiefdoms structured to uphold a family dynasty.
The same is true in India, where Congress Party chief Sonia Gandhi is grooming her son, Rahul, to take over the party. In all, the nation has been ruled by one of the Gandhi-Nehru clan for 37 of its 60 years.
This is partly the product of the peculiarities of South Asian politics, where elections are often won less on ideology than on traditional allegiances, particularly in Pakistan. It has meant that, even in Ms. Bhutto's death, there is little space for new blood – creating a political glass ceiling for anyone outside the family line.
"Despite all the talk of democracy, within parties there is no democracy," says Ayesha Jalal, a South Asia historian at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. "This is a contradiction."
In one of his first acts as cochairman of the PPP, Bhutto's husband, Asif Ali Zardari, said the party was ready to contest Jan. 8 elections. The decision was made largely to capitalize on what could be a significant sympathy vote, experts say.
The Pakistan Election Commission was scheduled to decide Tuesday whether the vote would go forward on time. Political offices in some parts of Pakistan were burned during the rioting that followed Bhutto's assassination Dec. 27, destroying local voter lists. This could compromise elections, forcing a delay, officials have said.
But experts also suggest that the ruling party of President Pervez Musharraf might seek to delay the vote in hopes that the swell of support for Bhutto will wane.
What is certain is that even if the PPP wins the elections, neither Mr. Zardari nor he and Bhutto's son, Bilawal, will be prime minister. Zardari has chosen not to run for a seat in parliament and will instead run the party from the background, much as Ms. Gandhi is doing in India.
Zardari is a controversial figure, having spent 11 years in prison for corruption. During Bhutto's time as prime minister, he was known as "Mr. 10 Percent" allegedly for demanding kickbacks on government contracts.
Meanwhile, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is too young to hold elected office and has vowed to finish his education. He is enrolled at Oxford University.
Yet there is little doubt that the party is still firmly in the hands of Asif Zardari. Indeed, there is a sense of ownership in South Asian parties. While families such as the Bushes and Kennedys rose to prominence in American politics, there was no concern of the parties becoming their personal property.
In Pakistan, however, Bhutto's father created the PPP, and, to many Pakistanis, it seems logical for control to pass along family lines.
"In our culture, blood is thicker than water," says Abida Hussain, a PPP leader and former ambassador to the United States. "We are a poor people, and we have not intellectualized enough to have the detachment of Western culture."
Moreover, she says, the Bhutto name transcends Pakistan's regional and ethnic divisions. "Bilawal stands for the unity of the party," she adds. "If the party were to depart from what [Bhutto] wanted, it would atomize."
To some, though, the lack of opportunity for a PPP stalwart like Aitzaz Ahsan is symptomatic of a larger problem in Pakistani politics. The lawyer became hugely popular during the fight to prevent Mr. Musharraf from sacking the chief justice of the Supreme Court last spring – so popular that he is one of the few people who remain under house arrest, weeks after Musharraf's emergency rule ended.
"Because the political system is not running on merit, the emergence of new leadership has become very difficult," says Khalid Rahman, a political analyst at the Institute of Policy Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan. "For the country, this is the problem."
Instead, Pakistani politics is purely about power, experts say. In rural Pakistan, where voters are uneducated, many pledge an almost feudal devotion to their local leaders. These leaders then peddle their vote bank to national parties, promising votes in return for greater clout in the next administration.
Inevitably, they are drawn to the parties with the greatest chance of winning, creating a system that all but shuts out new voices. "They don't have a chance to win," says Dr. Jalal, the historian.
Add to that the stop-and-go nature of Pakistani democracy. Constantly interrupted by successive military dictators, grass-roots politics – the feeder-system for new leadership – has had little chance to take root. Jalal adds: "If the political process was ongoing, there would be greater pressure" welling up from beneath to break the glass ceiling.
That has already happened in India, where numerous regional parties have broken off from the Congress Party.
"There was no opportunity to rise to the top under the Gandhi dynasty,"says Jalal. "That's why they split apart."

Economist forecasts growth through first half of 2013
(Video excerpts of economist Brian Beaulieu in past presentations)
The U.S. economy will continue to grow through the first half of 2013, economist Brian Beaulieu told a group of 500 business owners and executives in Denver today.
"You need to stay aggressive in your plans for 2012," he said, basing his forecast on key economic indicators including continued private sector employment growth, rising exports and the availability of money for investment.
Businesses that pull back now will lose 18 months of growth opportunity, said Beaulieu, CEO of ITR and an economist who specializes in business cycle trend analysis.
But the U.S. will fall into a mild recession in the second half of 2013 that will last through 2014.

UPDATE: Raiders confirm six undrafted free agent signings. See bottom of story.
On the bright side, at least the Raiders haven't brought back Jerry Porter.
Nothing against Porter, who did some good things as a Raider. But he could be tempermental, and that's the last thing wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal needs as he faces one of the most daunting challenges of any position coach on staff.
Quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett has a huge job, molding and shaping the future of the franchise in JaMarcus Russell. But he can concentrate virtually all of his efforts on Russell and he's got Jeff Garcia to help him. Hackett also has years of experience at the position, where he has long been considered one of the best teachers of quarterback fundamentals.
Lal is in his first season as an NFL position coach, having served two years as a quality control coach, which includes a heavy dose of doing video cut-ups. He replaces James Lofton, who was re-assigned without explanation one year after being hired by Davis for Lane Kiffin's staff.
(Best guess? Lofton was too resistant for Al Davis and Tom Cable when it came to fast-tracking younger receivers).
Lal has climbed the ladder locally, serving as the the passing game coordinator at Miramonte High in Orinda, as an assistant at Los Medanos Community College in Pittsburgh, working on the staff at St. Mary's and as an administrative aide for Jeff Tedford at Cal.
Now it's Lal's job to make sure Darrius Heyward-Bey is better than Michael Crabtree.
Heyward-Bey is only the fastest quarter-horse in the stable. Davis made it clear he thinks the world of Johnnie Lee Higgins and Chaz Schilens. Louis Murphy had a 40-time Davis couldn't refuse and arrived in the fourth round. Arman Shields was a fourth-round pick last year who spent the year on injured reserve.
As for Jonathan Holland, Todd Watkins and whoever else the Raiders bring in to camp, good luck.
That doesn't even include Javon Walker, who will be paid $4.6 million over the next two seasons unless he manages to get himself fired for "cause."
It's already crowded enough that Cable is leaning toward not bring in a veteran who could serve the same purpose with the wide receivers that Garcia is with Russell.
"Had Murphy not been there, that was definitely an option," Cable said.
Someone like Amani Toomer, who has track record as a productive receiver and a good teammate, might have served the unit well. But it's also true veteran wideouts aren't always good mentors. They want to play, they want the ball.
When Jerry Rice failed to catch a pass in a game under Norv Turner's watch, he went to Davis and said he wanted out. When Turner determined Ronald Curry's development would greatly reduce the role of Tim Brown, Brown opted for his release rather to stay on as a mentor who occasionally would be inactive on game days.
Walker's status remains in doubt in that he was declared healthy by Cable at the owner's meetings and now suddenly was referred to as "getting healthy." He's apparently doing it on his own, away from the facility.
Assuming he is still around at training camp, Walker, whose practice effort was called out by Kiffin last year, will be one of Lal's biggest challenges. Walker will hopefully be trying to get his own career jump-started and isn't likely to mentor anyone.
That leaves it up to Lal and the receivers, learning together on the field. Luckily, from all indications, Walker aside, there isn't a head case in the bunch, and even Walker is more quirky than moody.
"Can we overcome some of the youthfulness and all that?," Cable said. "Probably not, but I think that's the least of our worries right now, just in terms of getting more production there and better players there."
Another Chris Johnson
The Tennessean reports the Raiders signed wide receiver Chris Johnson of Tennessee State as an undrafted free agent.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports the Raiders signed Oregon linebacker Jerome Boyd.
UPDATE: The Raiders announced the following signings of undrafted free agents on the transactions page of Raiders.com: TE Chris O'Neill (Boise State), DE Desmond Bryant (Harvard), LB Jerome Boyd (Oregon), WR Shawn Bayes (Kent State), WR Nick Miller (Southern Utah) and G Jonathan Compas (UC Davis).
