Four students, four stories, four futures
Next Monday evening 114 graduating seniors will march into the gym and receive their high school diplomas as the Blaine high school class of 2004.
It's the only time in their high school careers when the entire class will be dressed alike, and the uniformity of the caps and gowns contrasts with what's inside, a varied group of unique individuals.
To illustrate this, four seniors were chosen to be profiled as typical examples of the class. Each has some impressive qualities, as would any four students, and each has some ways in which they're just average kids.
of them made mistakes in judgment that could have had
a mighty impact on their high school careers prematurely,
but instead they learned, changed and so far have thrived
on their ability to learn from their mistakes.
One of them is unusually gifted at drawing, an artistic ability that surfaced in kindergarten. And one moved almost 5,000 miles with her family, leaving Russia at the age of 12, traveling first to Lynden and two years later to Blaine in time for her ninth grade year.
Svetlana Grigoryev
Grigoryev grew up in Dal'nerechensk in eastern Russia, a town she describes as "being a lot like Blaine - small and friendly." Like Blaine, it's on an international border, in this case between Russia and China a couple of hundred miles north of Vladivostok.
The oldest of Yuriy and Lyudmila's eight children, Svetlana knew no English when she and her family arrived in Lynden in 1998.
She learned quickly through a combination of English classes and by working with the rest of the family in Yuriy's office cleaning business. In 2000 the family moved to Blaine and Svetlana began high school. That year she posted her only grade less than an A in her entire high school career, getting a B+ in English. "Yeah, that was the only one, but after that I worked harder," she said.
Several Blaine staff and faculty members say that Svetlana is simply the hardest working student they've ever seen.
"She's got an intrinsic work ethic that will get her anywhere she wants to go, and has the depth to be a quality human being besides," said counselor Rick VanderYacht. He told of trying to get her to go into medicine, "but her family knew that she'd need a large people quotient in whatever she did, so they pushed her toward nursing."
Grigoryev wasn't at first sure, but once she got a taste of nursing under a health sciences curriculum she's enrolled in as part of the running start program, she jumped in whole-heartedly. The program, directed by Karen Moren of Bellingham, puts her in various health sciences venues around Whatcom County, many of them at St. Joseph Hospital. She also works 15 hours a week at Stafholt Good Samaritan Center.
"I don't have time to do sports," she says when asked what she does for fun. She and her family are a part of a Russian Pentecostal congregation that worships Sunday afternoons at Blaine's Unitarian Church, and she's their musician, playing the piano for almost the entire worship hour. "And that's fun for me to do," she says with her characteristic grin.
Her favorite subjects are math and english, and she quickly named english teachers Vivian Bleecker and Neil Nix as her favorites. "I'm glad she's going into nursing," Bleecker grinned, "because with someone like her to take care of me I won't worry so much when I'm old."
In some ways Grigoryev still exhibits her old-world values. "I've never known her to wear pants," said Bleecker, "and her choice of careers was huge for her family. Her parents knew she likes people, likes being around them and helping, so nursing's a good choice."
"She's one of the most delightful young ladies I've ever come across in almost 30 years in this business," said Blaine high school principal Dan Newell, "and there's no question that whatever she tries, she'll be highly successful. If the rest of our kids had her work ethic, I'd be out of a job."
Robert Oswald
Known as Bobby to his friends, Oswald has grown up quickly in high school, going from being tossed out as a freshman for knife fighting to being awarded a chance to establish an individual training account with a non-profit organization called the Workforce Development Council. If Oswald is accepted, the agency will support him through the training needed to get a family wage job. The connection with the agency was made through high school counselor Karen Mulholland.
Oswald wants to be an electrician, and once he graduates he'll move to Bellingham and enroll at Bellingham Technical College. Workforce Council spokesman Jim Onion said that his job is to find those students who "may otherwise fall through the cracks, and if they're diligent and seem to have some promise then we try to help them get a career started."
Oswald is looking for an internship for the summer, and needs to talk with two electricians as a part of his application process as well as with two training schools. He knows he wants to learn a trade but he wants something more reliable and steady than what his father had.
"I saw my dad struggle with his dry-walling trade, and knew that I wanted something different. I also knew that I'd have to do it myself," Oswald said.
Oswald got into a fight his freshman year with someone bigger and ended up with him brandishing a knife in the other fellow's face.
He was sent to the alternative Timber Ridge high school, a place that he says convinced him of his need for structure and hard work to get anywhere, so he began to set goals for himself and settle down, he said.
"But then my Dad moved to Elma," he said, "and that wasn't so good." Initially living with friends, he ended up in a tent after his dad was kicked out of the friend's house. He spent two years at Elma high school.
He came back to Blaine and his grandparents agreed to give him a place to stay for his senior year. "Without them I wouldn't have graduated," Oswald says.
"I guess we can be kind of hard-headed in our family," Oswald said, "but for me I've always had to earn the money to get anything myself, everything from my school shoes to anything else I wanted. I think being an electrician is a good way to go. I'll sure find out."
Kimberly Harmening
The longest day of Kimberly Harmening's life was February 7 of this year. "A few of us got together at a house out in Semiahmoo," she began, "and before long things kind of got out of hand."
Someone offered her a can of beer, which she drank shortly before a neighbor's complaint brought the Blaine police. They shut down the party and gave everyone breathalyzer tests, then called parents to come and pick them up.
"My folks grounded me for a month," Harmening said. That's not such a bad deal, but tears welled up when she talked of finding out that she was permanently kicked off the varsity basketball team for violating the athletic code.
There were other varsity athletes who'd been drinking that night and more than 20 other students at the party, but due to differences in the way the code was handled by different coaches, she was the only varsity athlete to be banned from her sport for the rest of the year. The school board has since required that the code be the same for all sports.
"Everybody's responsible for their own actions, and I knew the rules and I broke them," she said, refusing to compare her punishment with that received by others or to say it had been unfair.
What hurt her, she said, was being rejected from the program and from a group of people, coaches, players and fans, that dominated her life for so many years. Harmening is one of a group of Blaine girls who have played basketball together since they were grade schoolers in the Boys and Girls Club programs.
Last year and this, they were all but certain to win the state high school basketball championship, winning 50 games while losing only two over that span and being ranked either first or second in the state all year long. The team finished third last year and in fifth this year.
"Kids would come up and say loud enough for me to hear, 'There goes the state tournament,'" she said. "The other girls on the team were awkward at first, but we've pretty well worked it all out." Denied permission to sit with or even near the team, Harmening nonetheless attended almost all the games, even going to Yakima for the state tournament.
But even with the support of close friends like seniors Krissa Jones and Jess Freeman and junior Ashley Olason, it was no picnic. "I cried for a long time. I didn't sleep for three days. I felt totally drained, stressed out and depressed," she said. "It was just awful. People who loved me said they didn't want to see me again because of what I did."
She wrote personal notes to others involved with the program, saying that she "knew I made a bad decision that affected a lot more people than just me. When you're ready to forgive me I'm ready to be forgiven."
Harmening is a popular girl who has twice been class president and this year was associated students executive vice-president and was also the homecoming queen. She said the incident was made all the more difficult because she was "exposed to the whole community. They made me an example," she said.
But despite going into the incident in great detail, she not only refused to assign blame for what happened anywhere but in her own lap, she said that there were other kids "who probably thought twice before drinking at a party after what happened to me. Someone could even be alive now, but not because of what I did but because of the punishment."
It may have to do with one of her other activities, being president of Drug Free Youth. Normally a student caught in violation is asked to resign from the group, but her advisor intervened on her behalf, figuring she'd lost enough, and she's still with the group.
Her faith was another source of strength. When asked where she goes, she named three churches and a non-denominational camp: "Well, I go to Cornwall Church and one in Canada called Peace Portal, and to St. Anne Catholic Church here and I've been going to summer camp at the Firs." A lifeguard there last year, she'll wait the required year after high school and then hopes to return to the Firs camp as a counselor.
"I'm getting on with my life now, going to WSU this fall," Harmening said. She'll join older sister Heidi in Pullman and plans on going into elementary education. She'll graduate with honors four months to the day after the party.
"One bad decision hasn't ruined my life," she concluded, "I came out on top. I sure learned a lot, but I'm OK."
Lisa Kent
When her kindergarten teacher told the class to draw, everyone else brought their paper to Lisa Kent because "I knew how to draw, and it seemed like a nice thing to do for your friends."
Lisa is Mike and Rose Kent's second of four children, and has been drawing since she can remember being able to pick up something that made a mark. At 9 years of age she began taking lessons from Patty McKay in Lynden, about the time she began home-schooling under her mother. She and her mother are close and both enjoyed the long hours at home.
"But when it came time for high school, that was like moving into a new town," said Kent, "because I was pretty shy." Her laugh comes easily, though, and she said it didn't take too long for her to find a niche. One of her best friends is fellow visual artist Jessica Teng. "She's been an inspiration," Kent said, "and helped me to see that I could go to art school and make a living doing this."
She ticks off a list of animation companies that she'd like to work for one day, "places like Pixar, who did Toy Story and Monsters, or Wizards of the Coast."
The gregarious senior, who's been on the tennis team and cheer squad, seems to have a calm center from which she creates a wide variety of art, all done with a maturity that seems a little beyond what one usually sees in a high school senior.
"I really like Emily Carr's work," Kent said in speaking of artists she admires. "Carr has great trees, really good forests," she said.
She's as good in her field as a champion athlete, but it never gets the same notice. "It's because with an athlete you see the process," she said, "where with art you see the result. It doesn't get repeated over and over."
All this seems fine with Kent. "I see my world in three dimensions," she said, "and notice shapes, and colors. I handle my world by looking at it, and copying it if I need to," she said, "and I remember and think in images. I like sharing that with people, showing them something I see and then making it so they can, too."
Her strengths, she says, are her artistic talent, her family and friends, and her work ethic. Kent will attend the Seattle Art Institute this fall, and by doing so will follow in a family tradition.
Older brother Shawn, 25, is a photographer and graphic designer. Younger brother Brian, 16, is a musician and younger sister Brittney, 10, "is your basic people person."

Avoid these single-digit stocks in 2013
When looking for bargains, don't be fooled by low prices.
A common misconception among investors is that a stock's price tag indicates its true value. For example, some investors may believe that Apple (AAPL) is expensive because it trades for over $586 a share. That logic ignores the fact that Apple trades at just 10 times next year's earnings, which is, in fact, inexpensive relative to many technology companies.
On the other hand, some investors may view Pandora (P) as cheap simply because it trades below $9 per share. That view comes despite the fact that the shares trade for almost 125 times next year's estimated earnings.
Rather, Apple and Pandora should tell investors that stocks can be "cheap" even when shares have high price tags, and pricey even when shares carry low price tags. The latter scenario underscores the wisdom of not being lured into a stock simply because of the superficial metric of market price. With that in mind, investors would do well to avoid or short the following single-digit names next year:
LDK Solar (LDK): A stock that trades for less than $2 and has surged more than 27% in the past week can be seductive, but keep in mind this is a solar stock that fell more than 10% on Monday. China-based LDK slashed its full-year revenue forecast to $950 million to $1 billion from its previous $1 to $1.5 billion. The company also said it expects fourth-quarter revenue of $230 to $290 million, which is well below the consensus estimate of $552.35 million.
Forget $2, the shares closed barely above $1 on Monday and the average price target is just $1.16, implying little upside from current levels. LDK could easily trade for 50 cents or less before its sees $1.80 again.
Century Aluminum (CENX): Practically every aluminum stock has been taken to the woodshed this year due to falling prices of the commodity. In turn, lower prices result in slack revenue and profits for aluminum producers and that theme has permeated this space. Century Aluminum is a small-cap stock that trades at almost 41 times 2013's estimated earnings. On the other hand, investors can pay just a few pennies more and get Dow component Alcoa (AA) at just 12.4 times next year's earnings.
Caesars Entertainment (CZR): On volume that was better than double the daily average, shares of Caesars Entertainment surged almost 10% on Monday, but that does little to eat away at a loss of roughly 56% since the company's February IPO.
The reason for the recent bullishness in this downtrodden name is easily spotted, though highly flawed. Investors appear to be betting, no pun intended, that Caesars will join the special dividend craze and follow rivals Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) in issuing special payouts.
However, that would be foolish, as Caesars' balance sheet is less than fortress-like. It is the balance sheet that explains why this is a single-digit stock that is not a good value. Caesars has $20 billion in junk-rated debt and has to pay $1.5 billion a year in interest on that debt.
Paying $1.5 billion in interest annually means that until Caesars can boost its credit rating, an unlikely scenario in the near- to medium-term, the company is devoting almost double its current market cap to interest expenses. That is not an attractive proposition for investors. Nor is the fact that earlier this year Fitch Ratings said Caesars could find its way to bankruptcy court in the future.

Logger even for heartrate-monitors!
tangoGPS is a mapping application running on Linux, especially suited to small computers like the Openmoko Neo phones and eeePC but not limited to small computers. tangoGPS defaults to using OSM maps. If connected to a GPS device, a track can be logged and processed later for addition to OSM.
Available Maps
You can choose between Mapnik, Osmarender and Cycle Map. Additionally the GUI allows to add a custom map repository.
Map tiles are cached and reused. The context menu allows autodownload of lower zoom levels. Version 0.99.4 can update tiles by pressing F5 key. Only the tiles in the current view will be updated (no bulk or massive update).
Using together with OpenStreetBugs
tangoGPS does not display waypoints, but the program is able to read POIs (Points of Interest) from its own sqlite POI database.
A script to read the GPX file from OpenStreetBugs ("As GPX file" on the left) and store it in the POI database is available (repository, .tar.gz). You may also want to download the empty-poi.db file, which is just the empty database ready to be filled.
Put the poi.db inside ~/.tangogps and select "show POIs" in the tangoGPS context menu.
More information is available at About tangoGPS. Downloads are available from the downloads page. < May 2 2012: domain seems to be dead >
- To convert tracks logged by tangoGPS into GPX format, you can use this convert script or a general purpose converter.

Below are two documents to help you make your site ADA compliant. The first document is a guidelines document produced by WKU's Office of Equal Opportunity to help make your site compliant. The second is a web accessibility checklist produced by W3C (the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web) that you should use to when creating and reviewing your site.Web Accessibility Guidelines
Every site will be periodically audited for compliance by The Office of Equal Opportunity. If you have any questions about how to make your site compliant, or if you would like to request to have your site audited, please contact email@example.com.
Why Should My Site be ADA Compliant?
Several reasons. First, it makes your site more accessible to everyone. Instead of having a site that some people can access, you are creating a site that everyone can access.
Second, an ADA compliant site is more search engine friendly. Search engine robots are not human and essentially access and read your site the same way a screen reader for a visually impaired person works. Making your site more search engine friendly means more visitors to your site.
Third, it's the law! If the first two reasons did not convince you, this third one should.

I vividly remember watching Disney's "Cinderella" when I was 5 years old and then attempting to recreate scenes from the movie in my bedroom. There was one particular part that stood out to me, and that was when Cinderella cleaned her room. To me, even while she was completing the mundane task of making her bed, she was the epitome of grace and beauty. She sang and danced, and as she shook out the sheets, they sort of floated up and landed perfectly in place.Â

I'll never forget the first time I wore pantyhose. I felt as if I had been freed from bondage.
This new style evolved from the infamous garter belt used to secure individual stockings or, even before that, garters to hold up the leg coverings.
Pantyhose were the new frontier. Women were ecstatic, and I was the leader of the pack.
I don't recall when all of this occurred, but I do remember the joy with which I embraced the contemporary legwear. And now a lot of women shun them for the barelegged look, which, I'm told, they believe to be more attractive.

It has been an eventful week here in Saline County. We can't seem to shake a stubborn winter, the Benton boys and girls basketball teams are on historic marches toward the state playoffs, and real progress is being made on the worthwhile Saline Crossing Regional Park effort.
It is also worth pointing out that Wednesday's edition of the Courier was 100 percent local. It was our first in a while, but certainly won't be our last. The newsroom's efforts to drive more local content into our pages are paying off, and our readers will certainly see that moving forward.

Sunday is a day of rest. It's the last day of the weekend. According to the Bible, it's the day that God took time off from his creation and it was good.
It's a day of worship, relaxation, recharging, family and friends. By its very nature, Sunday is different than the other days of the week.
So, shouldn't your newspaper be different on Sunday also? The answer is … yes.
During the coming weeks, watch for changes in the Sunday edition of the Saline Courier. A few of the changes are already in place today.

At 10:30 a.m. yesterday, my debt was $52,504. By the time you read this, the amount will grow second by second … and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
The $52,504 represents my share of the national debt which was $16,538,350,597,830. Visit the website www.usdebtclock.org, but do so at your own peril. The site is full of information, but the most disturbing part of the site is watching the U.S. national debt grow by hundreds of thousands of dollars before your very eyes.

My younger brother Steve (he's in his 60s) comes out with some profound ideas in his old age. Recently, he struck again with a concept I had not thought of in all my years of being on the Internet.
Steve has embraced photography in his later years full tilt. He has invested in all kinds of camera bodies and lenses and the accoutrements for the mechanics of making a good photo. But, speaking as a journalist photographer of almost 40 years, the old saying of "it's not the camera that makes the photo, but the nut behind it," (grin).
It's not uncommon for us in the newsroom to engage in a spirited debate. (Read: bicker like a dysfunctional family.) Topics of discussion range from serious political and social issues, to the best Beatles song, to the question of who is scarier: Freddy or Jason?
I have never shied away from this type of discourse because in my opinion it's a good way to broaden one's perspective.
There is no shortage of opinion in the editorial department, but, in all seriousness, our little arguments are always lighthearted. It's all in good fun.
By Brent Davis, editor
Another season of American Idol has begun. The early shows of each season are filled with teasers of the good singers that made it through to Hollywood. However, most people tune in at this point to see the rejects and how they react to being told their effort was "karaoke" or "pitchy" or only to be heard in a lounge on a cruise ship. It has been several years since I watched American Idol, but I never could understand how these singers confused the judges comments with their perceived talent.
When I first started working for this newspaper — which was then known as The Benton Courier — one of the first assignments I drew was writing the obituaries.
In those days this was a pretty usual practice and, as far as I know, it continues today.
Obits, as a rule, aren't difficult to write. In my rookie days, we had a set style for all obits unless it was a feature obit highlighting the death of a community leader.

All things rural are hot in America right now.
Thanks to shows like Duck Dynasty, Moonshiners and Hillbilly Hand Fishing, life in the sticks is all over the boob tube these days. At any given time, on any number of channels, one can watch city folks learn how to noodle, or watch film crews look for Bigfoot. We can watch moonshine being made, or see a bunch of idiot high school kids in rural West Virginia running wild.

Wanted to love this. It is a great color--- I got the Ivory/Blue and it is definitely more of a grayer blue (teal?) that I LOVE. But like some reviews mentioned, it sheds a LOT. I chalked it up to "new rug" at first and just thought it needed a couple good vacuums. Nope. After almost 6 months it still sheds a TON. I vacuum my house and literally an hour later I feel like I could sweep up rug debris. It is like having a dog. On to finding a new rug I think.
I ordered the navy, which is a very dark navy. It looks almost black. But for the price it seems like it's decent quality. It's not very plush; not quite flatwoven, but not really tufted either (don't know the technical term). Maybe like a berber carpet? The stripes are kind of uneven, which I think is part of the design and I like-- makes it a bit funky.
This was a great find for the price. The colors are navy blue and bright white. It looks great in my dining room with very little to no shedding. the pile is even with no raised pattern.
Honestly, Didn't think I would love the rug, but ordered it anyway expecting to just like it. The price justified any risk....I LOVE it!! The rug looks great and expensive. Sheds some, but I will get over that with a few vacuums. I got the largest one and it really pulls the room together. I'm sold on Overstocks rugs for sure!
This rug is exactly the chevron pattern that I wanted to compliment my son's room. It is true to color (I bought the navy and white) and size (6x9). It is not soft at all (not rough, just not soft) and it does have a few snags here and there, but I'm very happy with it for the price. It doesn't shed - a few initial runs of the vacuum brought up a lot and it has been fine since. It also stays in place on hardwood floors just fine without a non-slip pad. It perfectly serves its purpose in a child's room despite the imperfections.
We ordered this rug in grey and it came and looked navy/black. We called customer service and they sent us a new one because we thought they just sent the wrong color, turns out the grey doesn't look at all like it does in the picture. The rug it's self was great quality just not the color we were looking for. Customer service was very easy to work with though!

The Exchange Club's Labor Day Pancake Breakfast is a labor of love.
Firefighters, police officers and volunteers have been flipping pancakes, grilling sausages and brewing coffee for more than 20 years, under the direction of Sande St. John, as summer draws to an end.
St. John, hobbling around on a crutch and probably headed for surgery to repair her leg injured in a fall at her daughter's home, still managed to mobilize the troops again this year. After spending the past two months in a wheelchair, St. John certainly wasn't going to allow a blustery wind or the occasional rain drop to dampen enthusiasm.
"People don't work on Labor Day — unless you know Sande," said Laguna Coastal Taxi's George Kiepper, a volunteer.
Retired Laguna Beach Police Officer Ted Falenchi said the Pancake Breakfast is an opportunity for off-duty officers to get out into the community.
"I'm here to help Larry Bammer," Falenchi said.
Bammer, president of the Laguna Beach Police Employees Assn., a job once held by Falenchi, will also be getting out into the community from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 17 at Main Beach where police will sponsor "Dunk-a-Cop," a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club.
There will be a dunk tank, and balls will be $1 each.
Among Bammer's fellow officers who spent the morning over a hot grill: Paul Bixby, Rowen St. Moritz, Jason Farris, who brought his whole family along — wife, Christy, and children, Chase, Carter and Jason Jr. — Zack Filler, Brian Clasby, Robin Levinson, Jon Coutchie and Julia Bowman, the department's new crimes against persons officer.
Las Brisas and the White House provided the food, and the Orange Inn supplied the coffee.
Firefighters on pancake duty included Division Chief Jeff LaTendresse — assisted as always by son, Cody — Crissy Teichmann, Bryan Sarjeant, David Lopez, Albert Herman, Robert Abijay, Danny Kalschewer and super chef Pat Brennan.
Retired Fire Capt. Eugene D'Isabella watched over the kids who clambered over the retired 1931 Seagrave Pumper he drove to the breakfast.
"That all I do these days," D'Isabella said. "The next time will be for the 9/11 monument dedication on Sept. 11."
Mai Huynh donated water. The Watermelon Fairy (Jessica de Stefano) distributed slices of the fruit. Miss Linda's puppets and violinist Doug Miller entertained.
Civilians also are recruited for the breakfast.
"I have to get up at 5 a.m. to be here," said former Mayor Cheryl Kinsman, who has been collecting the cash at these shindigs for years.
But Nathan Nordskog was already on the job at 5 a.m., setting up equipment — the tents, the grills, the coffee urns. His daughter, Jordan, helped.
Erin and Donald Perez, Brad Kettering, Tyler Swets, Christina Vickers, Gordon Mulder, Michael and Steven Jeppson, Justin Intveld, Connie Burlin, Vicky Theris, Recreation Committee member Nicholas Kinsman, St. John's daughter Shanin Ostrander and granddaughters Camryn, Katelyn and Kelsey were also among the helpers.
St. John complimented city workers John O'Hara, Reggie Christian and George Gonzalez for the beautiful condition of the park.
For some, Labor Day means the residents have taken back the town from the tourists.

In a field where middle-age has been the norm, it was a supreme vote of confidence that Simon Taufel was asked to umpire his first Test at 29. Over the next decade, he repaid that faith by being named the ICC's Umpire of the Year every year from 2004 to 2008. His rise was so rapid that he quickly became one of the most experienced officials on the Elite Panel, despite being by far its youngest member. But that heavy workload also took its toll on Taufel, who in 2008 said he wanted to spend more time with his wife and children and was taking his cricket future "year by year". Respected by the players for his consistently accurate decision-making, Taufel stood in three World Cups and earned the chance to officiate in the 2011 final, when Australia failed to reach the decider for the first time in five World Cups. A calm and confident official who worked hard on his fitness, Taufel developed while on the international scene. When he first arrived he hunched over as the bowler let fly, lowering his eyeline like umpires of old. That habit disappeared as Taufel's self-assurance increased, although his concentration did not wane.
His early entry into the umpiring ranks came after his playing career stalled due to a back injury. A promising fast bowler, in 1988-89 Taufel took the new ball in a New South Wales schoolboys' representative team captained by Michael Slater with Adam Gilchrist behind the stumps. He played for the North Sydney and Mosman clubs before first officiating in fifth-grade games at 20. Taufel was 27 when he stood in his first ODI, a match where his old team-mate Gilchrist scored a century, and 29 when his Test debut came in the 2000 Boxing Day match. Occasional internationals followed while he worked as the operations manager in a printing firm, and in 2003 he was added to the ICC's Elite Panel, where he and the New Zealander Billy Bowden were viewed as the next generation of umpires. In 2012, Taufel retired at the age of 41, deciding to spend more time at home with his family. He also took up the newly-created role of umpire performance and training manager with the ICC.

A 2,600-foot tower planned for the Arizona desert will be the world's second tallest structure and online levitra uk will be able to power 100,000 homes through hot air alone.
The solar updraft tower, designed by EnviroMission, will work by collecting hot air as it rises from the heated ground surrounding it. The very tall, narrow tower increases the good choice cheepest viagra strength of the hot air flowing upward, where it will turn 32 turbines along the way.
The tower will be able to produce 200 MW of electricity each day and, unlike solar power technologies, will be able to produce electricity at night too since heat from the ground will still be flowing upward and it will operate without the rx cod tramadol use of water.
This technology comes at a pretty steep price -- $750 million to build -- but since hot air is free, the operating costs going forward will be very minimal and the tower should last at least 80 years.
The tower will be made of concrete, which is a very carbon-heavy material, but the clean energy produced by the tower should cancel out the carbon emissions of visionwidget.com making it within 2.5 years.

Looks like huge reflecting mirror surface there in the click here levitra online pharmacy usa pic right? Well, that's not what this is vizuka.com about. The surfaces you see are above the ground, heating the air at ground level. The heated air needs to move and professional cialis online as heat tends to rise, the heated air moves toward the tower. The forceful movement of air spins the turbines and voila, we have power.
Not much different from a hydroelectric dam, except instead of water turning the turbines, here we use heated airflow.
Jeff, up above, didn't bother to check this out. He just spouted off his standard denier screed. In fact, a system similar to this ALREADY EXISTS in Spain and is powering homes and businesses right this moment.

Saying it can produce a constant (or peak) 200MW is fine, as is saying 200MWhours per day. This leaves us not knowing what the reporter means (or thought they meant). Geeks should do this instinctively, and not have to be constantly told.

Phone companies provide money and get a cheaper, taller tower.
Tower becomes slightly less expensive and becomes much more appealing to sprawling suburbians.

It would seem that the tower in Australia was designed by the same company, Enviromission, but it was unfortunately never built.

Second As a power professional I always enjoy the we use it cialis purchase public's confusion as to what electrical power is measured in, at least they didn't refer to the terminal voltage as a unit of power capacity. A capacity of 200MW means at any moment in time it can produce 200 million watts of power, if it did that for an hour than you will have 200 MW hours of power and in a day it would produce 4800 MWH's of power, provided it had a constant output.
I have been waiting for this to be built, my concern is that since it is so tall how will it affect the local weather since it will be injecting moister ground level air into the atmosphere at an abnormally high elevation for the location it is being built. I'm sure it will at most provide a interesting cloud display in the desert but will likely attract all the nuts once it is operational.

It shouldn't be too much different to the normal process of www.breinweb.nl thermal formation whereby warm ground level air goes up to several thousand feet, in a vortex formation, then condenses into a cloud, if the humidity etc is suitable, or just disperses if it is not.

Energy production is always in megawatt-hours, and size is always in megawatts (MW) - or kilowatt-hours(KW), and kilowatts gigawatt-hours, gigawatts(GW).
So you can say it "produces x megawatt-hours of power".
Think about your own electricity bill. You are billed for using x number of kilowatt-hours a month.
But if you put in a solar array on your roof you would put up either a huge (say) 10 KW array or a tiny 0.25 KW array, which would produce lots or just a trickle of kilowatt-hours of electricity a day/month or year.

A 10-foot cross that was once displayed in St. Leo's Church now hangs on a mausoleum in the cemetery facing Montmorenci Road.
The cross was replaced in 2006 and stored in the basement of the rectory until Monday, Sept. 20, when Father Brian Vossler and fellow parishioners hung it against the mausoleum in St. Leo's Cemetery.
ŌĆ£They wanted the Corpus Christi, the crucified Christ in the church,ŌĆØ said Fr. Vossler. ŌĆ£The resurrected Christ now hangs on the mausoleum, which is a very appropriate symbol.
The playground at St. Leo's Church has instituted a few new restrictions in hopes to put an end to an ongoing vandalism and littering problem.
The pastoral council recently made this decision during one of its monthly meetings.
ŌĆ£In that space, we found it necessary to protect the better interests of that playground to put restrictions on its use,ŌĆØ said Father Brian Vossler.
ŌĆ£It was an ongoing problem that we finally had to address.ŌĆØ

Gas saving tips
If gasoline prices hit $4 per gallon as many economists predict, an estimated 65 percent of American car owners say they will dramatically change their driving behavior, according to a survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation.
Driving less, however, might not be an option for some and performing simple and inexpensive vehicle maintenance will not only save gas money, perhaps as much as $1200 per year, but will also improve your vehicle's safety and dependability. The Car Care Council offers these gas-savings maintenance and driving tips:
• Check your vehicle gas cap. About 17 percent of the vehicles on the roads have gas caps that are either damaged, loose or are missing, causing 147 million gallons of gas to vaporize every year.
• When tires aren't inflated properly, it's like driving with the parking brake on, and can cost a mile or two per gallon.
• Replace spark plugs. A vehicle can have either four, six or eight spark plugs, which fire as many as three million times each 1,000 miles, resulting in a lot of heat, electrical and chemical erosion. A dirty spark plug causes misfiring, which wastes fuel.
• Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a "rich" mixture – too much gas being burned for the amount of air, which wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power.

Windows Media Player includes some of the most popular codecs, like MP3, Windows Media Audio, and Windows Media Video, but it doesn't include the codecs required for Blu‑ray Discs, FLAC files, or FLV files. If something isn't working with Windows Media Player, you might not have the right codec on your PC. The easiest way to solve the problem is to go online and search for the codec you need.
You should only install codecs, filters, or plug-ins from trusted, authorized sources, such as the official website of the codec manufacturer. Be careful when you install codecs that you've found on the Internet, particularly the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from many companies, because these codec packs might include software that can damage your PC. If you've installed any codec packs and are having problems with the Player, we recommend that you remove them.
Here are answers to some common questions about codecs.
A codec compresses or decompresses media files such as songs or videos. Windows Media Player and other apps use codecs to play and create media files.
A codec can consist of two parts: an encoder that compresses the media file (encoding), and a decoder that decompresses the file (decoding). Some codecs include both parts, and other codecs only include one of them.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
Enter Windows Media Player in the search box, and then tap or click Windows Media Player.
On the Help menu, tap or click About Windows Media Player.
If you can't see the Help menu, tap or click Organize, tap or click Layout, and then select Show menu bar.
In the About Windows Media Player dialog box, tap or click Technical Support Information.
Your web browser will open a page that includes a lot of detailed info about the related binary files, codecs, filters, plug-ins, and services installed on your PC. You might be able to use this info to help troubleshoot problems.

Profiting From AT&T's Game of Catch Up
Douglas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
AT&T (NYSE: T) recently announced plans to dramatically ramp up 4G LTE coverage by increasing capital spending by $14 billion over the next three years. The plan allows the company to attack more aggressive coverage targets as it struggles to catch up with rival Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ). The biggest immediate winners from the news are cell tower owners including American Tower (NYSE: AMT), Crown Castle International (NYSE: CCI) and SBA Communications (NASDAQ: SBAC). While these beneficiaries got a quick pop of the news release, American Tower appears to be well positioned for the medium-term and should be consider for your core portfolio.
The Spending Ramp Up
Last week, AT&T announced that it plans to make a significant push to accelerate its 4G LTE coverage through increased spending. The company said it intends to cover 300 million potential customers by the end of 2014, ramping up its target of 250 million by the end of 2013. CEO Randall Stephenson commented on the move: "This is a major commitment to invest in 21st Century communications infrastructure for the United States and bring high-speed Internet connectivity — 4G LTE mobile and wireline IP broadband — to millions more Americans."
His remarks were not limited to the benefits to customers, however; with reference to AT&T investors, he added: "We have the opportunity to improve AT&T's revenue growth and cost structure for years to come, and create substantial value for shareowners." By comparison, Verizon already is available to 250 million people in the U.S. and boasts more coverage in the 4G LTE space than all other competitors combined. Even with Verizon's dominance in customer coverage, AT&T has done a solid job thus far in retaining customers. The two companies are considered to have a virtual duopoly in the U.S. market.
The Quest for the Ivory Tower
As things currently stand, AT&T has fairly dense coverage in most major urban areas. Where the company struggles to keep pace with Verizon is in rural areas. While the focus on denser population areas has been successful for AT&T in general, the company's commitment of $8 billion towards expansion into new coverage areas demonstrates its understanding of the importance of the move. As part of the initiative, the company intends to add 10,000 cell sites 40,000 small cells.
All three of the largest tower companies reacted positively to the news from AT&T, but, as you can see from the chart below, none has exploded. What is perhaps more heartening for investors is a look at the second chart below that depicts the performance of all three over the past five years. While none of these companies was immune from the economic crisis of late 2008 that brought the entire economy to the precipice, ever since, each has marched steadily higher. This is the type of performance chart that every investors hopes for in his or her core portfolio.
The Trade
While all three of these companies look appealing, I give the slight edge to American Tower. Even with Crown Castle's acquisition of 7200 T-Mobile towers – making it the largest operator in the U.S. – American Tower has the largest market cap and the lowest P/E of the three. With a 42% operating margin, the company runs more efficiently than Crown Castle at 37% or SBA at 21%. Finally, American Tower pays a modest dividend of 1.2%, but neither of its main competitors pays any dividend. While much has been made about the changing tax treatment dividends may receive next year, the addition of an income element is favorable for the stock.
Overall, the industry looks very strong as there is no sign that wireless is slowing down, and the AT&T news should be a positive catalyst. The steady march higher should be expected to continue for American Tower, making it a solid addition to your core portfolio at current levels.

"I remember my self consciousness floating away, my brain just clearing out. The music was so loud and the bass made my whole body shake. I closed my eyes and just listened. It's not all beeps and boops, it's soul. It's composition. Kaskade's music is a masterpiece. It has a nightclub vibe and soothing female vocalists. I eventually just stopped thinking, like the brain went out the window and it just became the music and the body. I jumped like a fool and shouted and smiled the whole two and a half hours. It just made me incredibly happy. All my life stresses, all my worries, all my issues, all my problems, was just not there. I felt like a different, aspirational person. It left me with the best mental high i've ever had. Everyone was just hugging and laughing and smiling, having the best time of their life. Total strangers. I didn't know the girls names next to me, they didn't know mine. But we were all a fan of the music, and we had just shared this experience that obviously means a lot to both of us. I turned over to my friend Matt and his girlfriend, they're doing the same thing, just talking and sharing. I could of probably died right there, the amount of peace and love in the air. It sounds like the corniest thing, but it's true. It was the best feeling i have ever experienced, and I truly felt like I was glowing."
Me, writing about Identity Festival Boston 2011. Man, Kaskade killed that night.
