Notes: Heisey made his first start in the field since coming off the disabled list on June 25. Heisey started at designated hitter in one game each at Texas and Oakland on Cincinnati s last road trip. The sellout crowd that showed up for Frazier s bobblehead night and post-game fireworks was Cincinnati s ninth of the season. The team had a club-record 15 last season. Tightness in Marco Scutaro s back prompted Giants manager Bruce Bochy to give the second baseman Wednesday night off. RHP Matt Cain is scheduled to start for San Francisco against RHP Mike Leake in Thursday s finale of the four-game series.</body></html> | Notes: Heisey made his first start in the field since coming off the disabled list on June 25.

| + | == Morning kickoff — More on noise record attempt at Cent == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>There was a lot of given yesterday to the news that a fan group is leading an effort to set a noise level record at CenturyLink Field when the Seahawks play the 49ers on Sept. 15. | ||
| + | What didn t get as much notice was some of the details behind the attempt, such as the fact that it s in part the brainchild of former Seahawk defensive end Joe Tafoya. | ||
| + | I wrote about that aspect of it in for the Wednesday paper. | ||
| + | As you can read, all of this is a little more complicated than the initial stories suggested the attempt will likely have to be made prior to the game, and the Seahawks themselves are still a little unsure how to handle this. | ||
| + | But it all adds another little subplot to a 49er game that already will be regarded as one of the marquee early matchups of the NFL season. | ||

| + | <html>Natural gas could be a solution | ||
| + | Contractors work on a natural-gas power plant under construction in Utah. The administration has been upbeat on natural gas. [George Frey/Bloomberg.] | ||
| + | There can be no denying that human-caused global warming is taking place. The scientific evidence is incontrovertible. | ||
| + | The question remains: What is the best way to ameliorate this problem? | ||
| + | Obviously, the warming threat should motivate countries throughout the world to adopt sustainable forms of power generation from solar and wind sources. | ||
| + | Unfortunately, these sources are not ideal for all of civilization’s energy needs. This is particularly true with regard to the transportation of people and goods, where the sun and wind cannot produce an intense enough burst of power. | ||
| + | The current answer for these transportation needs lies with natural gas. Natural gas is an extremely clean-burning fossil fuel that emits much less global-warming-causing carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels. As the article points out,[http://www.0552.info/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=19641 Mansfield feels at home at Kil_2], however,[http://www.cqwu51.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=102955&do=blog&id=225483 Michigans snappy innovation_2], natural gas has its own risks. | ||
| + | Natural gas or methane, in its unburned state, is a much worse pollutant than carbon dioxide. Unchecked leakage of unburned natural gas can neutralize any benefits achieved from using this fuel. | ||
| + | This quandary really can be reduced to one essential question: Are we willing to take the necessary steps to ensure that gas production,[http://www.chinesedent.com/read.php?tid=380402&ds=1 Lisicki and Bartoli reach Wimbledon final_3], transmission and use become essentially leak-free? While that may seem tough,[http://www.160ct.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=111693 ], it is by no means unachievable. It requires the necessary regulations and investment in infrastructure. | ||
| + | I certainly hope the cynics and critics,[http://www.huit.vc/blog/2013/01/post-139.html#comments Mariner momentum is slipping away], who declare defeat at the first problem that surfaces, are not allowed to torpedo the use of a very promising answer to our short-term energy needs. | ||
