Revelations: There's a Light After the Lime
Imagine having it all: money, celebrity, success. Imagine leaving it all behind -- to answer a higher calling. Sparked by his work with Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment, Mason "Mase" Betha's meteoric rise to fame is one of rap's great success stories. In addition to performing on such hit singles as 112's "Only You," Puffy's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money, Mo Problems," and Mariah Carey's "Honey," Mase sky-rocketed as a solo artist whose languid vocal style set him apart. His debut album, "Harlem World, went platinum and his next album, "Double Up, was eagerly awaited. But just as he was poised to sign a multimillion-dollar deal with Bad Boy, Mase walked away. Mason Betha is now a pastor, inspirational speaker, and founder of a nondenominational group called S.A.N.E. (Saving a Nation Endangered) Ministries. Having turned his back on stardom, he reveals in this fascinating memoir the rhyme and reason behind his choice to leave a glamorous life of extraordinary wealth and influence to become a pastor with a powerful message for America's youth. Thought-provoking and illuminating, "Revelations is an undeniable testament to the enduring power of faith -- and to the limitless possibilities in a life transformed by God's guiding hand.

Rise of a new day by AphantopusWatch
©2013-2016 Aphantopus
One can't simply elude the fascination of the beach near the glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón, despite the numerous photographs that exist of this location. This morning`s sunrise was nothing short of spectacular. The dark clouds of the vanishing night opened up and revealed the view to one of the most colourful sunset I've seen so far in Iceland.

What is the plural form of the word "equipment"? Is the word "equipment" singular?
Context: for tools/objects
What is the plural form of the word "equipment"? Is the word "equipment" singular?
Context: for tools/objects
"Equipment" is nearly always used as a mass noun, not a count noun. There may be a few obscure exceptions, but they would be very rare. Mass nouns don't have plurals (except when they double as count nouns).
So anything you say with "equipments" in it is more than likely to be ungrammatical. I recommend avoiding this word.
Short answer: use 'equipment', do not use 'equipments'
Long answer: in Modern Standard English, 'equipment' is a mass or non-count noun, like 'water' or 'traffic', which describes something that is somehow implicitly plural but doesn't have a plural form. That is, it wouldn't make sense to have more than one equipment, since it describes a set of things already. 'Equipment' is already plural in the sense that it refers to a number of things together. There are instances where one has more than one set of these things, the many waters of the world.
To address some of the controversy mentioned elsewhere:
As a final note of relevance, as a native speaker, I find 'equipments' to sound really wrong. So if you're climbing up a mountain and have a bunch gear to put away, just 'pack your equipment', don't use the plural.
First of all I want to make my point the I have heard equipments, but it was really in very very rare cases. I think that both are possible although they would mean different things.
Equipment is collective noun and as such can be used in plural. Although there are a lot of collective nouns that can be used with -s or without and they mean different things.
For example what is the plural of water- water. But we can say waters when revering to different types of waters in sea, oceans, river and ect. Another example is folk and folks. Folks is collective noun for group of people, while folks referring to collection of different groups of people.
Therefore when we are speaking about different machines for fitness we can call them equipment. When we are speaking about fitness equipment and fishing equipment, we should use equipments.
Don't forget that English is something alive and in different areas in different countries even native born English folks have their own English within their own community , with different way of living, different jobs, they belong to different parts of the society and ect. English is a languages and there is nothing constant in languages it changes and evolves every day.
Equipments has been in continuous use as a plural form of equipment in English for centuries, as this Ngram chart tracking instances of equipments across the years years 1700–2008 indicates:
However, the areas where equipments functions as an acceptable plural are rather narrow: as other answerers have noted, it is extremely unusual (and sounds flatly wrong in U.S. English) for someone to ask "Do you have all the equipments you need?" Microsoft Word automatically marks equipments as a misspelling because in most instances it is not the right word to use.
Historical usage of 'equipments'
Google Books search results for equipments turn up a multitude of matches for the term in publications from the period 1700–1817—something on the order of 170 unique matches. Many of these instances are associated with what most people today would refer to as "military equipment" (using equipment as a mass known). For example, from the court case of Savage v. Gulliver (March term, 1808), in Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Judicial Court, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, volume 4 (1808):
Unmistakably, equipments is not a typo here. The term also comes up in connection with outfitting a ship for a voyage, as in this example from "Naval Report," in Niles' Weekly Register (December 10, 1814):
'Equipments' today
A Google book search for equipments turns up more than 400 unique matches from the period 1972–2008. Clearly the plural form continues to be used—but where and by whom?
One area where equipments remains in use is in discussions of military history—as for example in the Osprey Military series "Men-at-Arms," which includes such recent titles as Artillery Equipments of the Napoleonic Wars (1979), German Combat Equipments 1939–45 (1991), and British Infantry Equipments (2), 1908–2000 (2000). Likewise army tech manuals continue to use the plural form, as in "Organizational, Direct and General Support, and Depot Maintenance Repair Parts and Special Tools Lists" (January 1968):
Also disproportionately represented in the recent Google Books results are books from India. For example, from M.H. Siddiqut, Teaching of Economics (New Delhi, 1993):
The items in a classroom may be put into three heads which are as follows:
And from S.K. Katiyar & H.S. Niranjan, "Topographic Mapping of Hilly Terrain Using Total Station, "in Proceedings of the National Conference on Advances in Civil Engineering: Perspectives of Developing Countries (ACEDEC-2003) (New Delhi, 2003):
Elsewhere in modern English-language publications, however, equipments is very rare indeed.
At first, a couple of general remarks on the count/non-count dichotomy in linguistics. (Incidentally, this dichotomy is language-specific).
What is taught in school about this distinction, whether English is your L1 or L2, is a gross oversimplification. It is done for pedagogical reasons.
However, in linguistics, it has been abandoned for various reasons. On the one hand, as Allan showed in his 1980 paper in "Language", it is better to think of countability as a continuum, see the following examples (from the most countable to the least countable):
car, oak, cattle, scissors, mankind, admiration, equipment, Himalayas.
One the other hand, as Payne and Huddleston (2002) argue, "many nouns can be used with either a count or non-count interpretation". They also add that since in some cases "the existence of paired count and non-count senses is entirely predictable, so that it is not necessary for a dictionary to list both".
To make things even more complicated, some linguists have proposed up to eighteen types of concrete nouns only (e.g. Goddard 2009).
In natural languages, there is obviously a lot of variation. However, the trend is that the form "equipments" is not common. For example, I searched The Times and The Sunday Times, and "equipments" returned zero hits. Same with The Guardian. If you are an L2 learner of English, I'd recommend forgetting about the existence of that form altogether.
Some commenters suggested it might be used in cases when different types of equipment are meant. See, however, the following example from The Times:
Makro is also stronger in non-food items, such as stationery and office equipment.
Now, with The NY Times, things are a bit different.
Searching the archives from 1980 to present and manually going through the results, I got 28 hits only. Six of them were company names (Recognition Equipments Inc., Digital Equipments etc.) and one was obviously a typo:
According to Dr. P. L. Fan of the Council on Dental Materials, Instruments and Equipments, …. (1987) – see the original report here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1918680
Another sentence suspiciously looks like a typo, too:
In the face of such enmity, Pakistan's armed forces stand more and more vulnerable as old, mostly American equipments wears [sic!] out, with no ready replacements. (1980)
That will include $800,000 a year in grants for the groups, $100,000 a year in sports equipments, and 15,000 tickets a year to Yankee home games. (2006)
Several ski equipments are presented. (2007)
The microphone was in place, and the synthesizer and other electronic equipments were turned on. (1984)
Now, if you search the archives of the NY Times for 1851-2008, things are a bit different. I got 9983 results, with the highest peak for 1960-1969 – 1524 results.
An important thing about those examples – it seems most of them are classified ads, e.g. "Candidates should have at least four years of maintenance experience on the above equipments" (1962).
Only the first five hits were from the other sections of the newspaper, four of them written by the same person, Burton Crane.
Oils, drugs, office equipments and a number of the high-price stocks known as … (1961)
Now about the OED examples. There are 30 occurrences in quotations (I excluded definitions).
one – 18th century
eleven – 19th century
seventeen – 20th century (most of them are used in engineering or military contexts)
one – 21th century
If you search the BNC, you can see that in British English the form "equipments" is mostly used by the military:
Total number of occurrences: 27
7 of those come from ABA Britain's defence dilemma. 1990.
6 come from JNM House of Commons Select Committee for Defence: meeting (Public/institutional). Recorded on 9 February 1994
3 come from JNN House of Commons Select Committee for Defence: meeting (Public/institutional). Recorded on 9 February 1994
With dictionaries, you need to remember one very important thing - they are a good place to start your research but you shouldn't base your answer solely on the OED (OED-thumping) or some other dictionary.
Well, equipment's plural is rarely used. The form that I've heard the most is "piece of equipment."
The Google Translator didn't throw any spell error while typing equipments. But here the site, which says there is no plural form for equipment .Refer here too, to know bit more, Finally it seems both acceptable.

Banks will continue to go up as they continue to upgrade each other. It appears the banks have been told they can not short each other so they can only make money on the long side. Pretty smart of Obama. Markets go up and the brokers get richer. May be unethical but smart. When it comes to water boarding that may have saved many life's that willnot be tolerated. Making decisions to help the majority of the people is not constitutional. All that rhetoric I heard when he won the presidency regarding change fooled me with the thought that it was for all the people. As actions speak louder than words the change was for his wealthy friends to assure they would be able to continue their wealthy life style at the expense of the people. Yes change has come. He has kept his promise.
The market is smarter than any upgrades.In the end, upgrades do not matter.It`s a short term effect.
Yes it is. Yet when you do that every day it can be a longer term effect.
Of course they did. How else are they supposed to sell their shares, when there is no genuine buying interest? Every day BAC is opened higher, run up early, then sold off to a price below the open. Then wash, rinse, repeat. It's a laundry cycle, and American investors are being cleaned out.

SANTA FE - A House committee tentatively hammered out a $3.4 billion spending package Saturday for public education and general government operations next year, but still left room for a potential tax cut.
Under the proposals of the Appropriations and Finance Committee, spending from the state's general budget account would increase by at least $139 million or a little more than 4 percent in the fiscal year that starts July 1.
However, that spending level is almost certain to grow before the Legislature gives final approval to a budget package.
The committee left about $27.5 million in revenues untapped - meaning those monies could go for tax cuts as well as spending increases for education and other programs.
The panel's preliminary blueprint suggested that at least $10 million of available revenues should go for tax incentives for economic development. However, decisions about tax cuts for individuals or businesses will be made initially by other legislative committees. Gov. Gary Johnson has recommended a $15 million personal income tax cut next year as the first installment of a three-year reduction package.
School financing represents one of the biggest differences between the committee's proposed budget and the spending recommendations the Republican governor made to the Democratic-led Legislature.
"Our emphasis was on education rather than prisons. I think that's where it should be," said Rep. Max Coll, D-Santa Fe, chairman of the budget panel.
Public schools would receive $72.7 million in additional money next year under the committee proposal. That's a 4.7 percent increase.
Johnson had recommended a 3.3 percent increase for public schools next year, about $51 million. However, the governor wanted to tie part of the extra money to his proposal for phasing in vouchers to allow parents to use taxpayer money to send their children to private, religious or public schools. But even Johnson has acknowledged that his voucher proposal is doomed this session.
School districts would be required to give 6.24 percent pay raises next year to teachers and other instructional staff under the budget committee proposal.
Other school workers - from administrators to bus drivers and cafeteria workers - would get a 3 percent pay increase. The House Education Committee had called for 4 percent raises for those school employees.
The recommended salary increase is intended to raise the average pay of an experienced New Mexico teacher to the regional average of neighboring states. That's a top priority of many educational groups. For example, the House Education Committee, state Board of Education, the Legislative Education Study Committee have recommended 6.24 percent pay increases for teachers.
The governor called for about $9 million of his public education spending to go for a merit pay program that would give salary increases based on a teacher's performance. The $9 million is enough money to give average increases of 1.9 percent for all classroom teachers.
The Appropriations and Finance Committee plans to take final action on its budget package on Monday and then send it to the full House for a vote. Once approved by the House, the budget will go to the Senate for consideration.
The proposed House budget package makes a significant change in the way salary increases for school workers are handled.
The Appropriations and Finance Committee followed an Education Committee proposal to mandate specific pay raises for teachers and other employees. Traditionally, the Legislature has left it to local districts to decide how much to increase salaries using the money distributed to schools through the state's financing formula.
However, education groups and some lawmakers say it's important to boost salaries to help New Mexico cope with a looming shortage of teachers and prevent qualified teachers from leaving to take jobs in higher-paying states.
Michael Davis, the state schools superintendent, said public education was in a "very good place" with the budget committee's spending recommendations.
Under the committee's blueprint, schools would account for slightly less than half the state's general budget spending - $1.63 billion.
The panel called for spending about $160 million next year on the Corrections Department - roughly $5 million less than the governor recommended. The panel turned down the governor's request for an additional $6 million for the Corrections Department in the current budget year.
Corrections Secretary Rob Perry said that supplemental money was vital because it's needed for staff overtime at state prisons as well as higher than anticipated costs for medical services and keeping inmates in privately operated prisons.

Can't get my WP Christmas cards to work:
I auto-installed the Satollo "Postcards" ecard plugin directly from inside WordPress. It looks great, but doesn't SEND the ecards. I've posted to Satollo several times, no answer.
I've sent myself several cards to different email addresses, the cards never arrive. It's been DAYS at this point.
I wonder if anyone is able to tell from the ecard plugin script whether "send" is actually configured properly? Here's the script. Failing this, does anyone know if I have to do something to the email inside my new paid web site hosting account for this WP plugin to send the cards, or should the plugin script itself be sufficient?

In any given year, there are approximately 100 shark attacks worldwide. Of those 100, only 16 of these attacks end in a fatality. Funny then, that we humans have such irrational fears about being attacked by a shark while swimming in the ocean. Clearly, the odds of an attack are incredibly small. Our fears are simply fueled by movies and television shows that make the danger seem far more common.
The case against malware is very similar: Malware exists, but it consumes a lot of resources unnecessarily. And despite the danger, IT security professionals place far too much emphasis on data loss through malware than they should.
First, let me say that malware can indeed be a huge problem and time must be spent on a defense-in-depth strategy that reduces a company's exposure significantly. But once that's done, it's time to move on to the next security hole in your organization. Unfortunately, we're often so focused on malware that we end up with a security posture that's heavily protected against electronic attacks, but lacking in other areas -- specifically social engineering.
What Target tells us
The Target store breach is a perfect example of this. As details of the breach emerge, it's starting to look as if malware was indeed used to steal customer financial information. What we don't know is whether Target has a security posture in place that could have prevented the attack. We also don't know if the malware used was known and could have been initially blocked. If the malware was new and highly sophisticated, tools like an IPS and antivirus software would have been rendered useless. What can be controlled is how the malware was installed on Target store systems. As the New York Times bits blog pointed out:
To pull it off, security experts said a company insider could have inserted malware into a company machine, or persuaded an unsuspecting employee to click on a malicious link that downloaded malware that gives cybercriminals a foothold into a company's point-of-sale systems.
At DefCon 21, for instance, a capture-the-flag competition set about to see just how easy it is to obtain sensitive business information using social engineering methods. The contest targeted ten Fortune 500 companies. Suffice it to say the results were chilling. It's far too easy for regular, untrained people to simply pick up the phone, call an employee, and glean important information from him or her while pretending to be a student, vendor, or a fellow employee.
Information such as OS patch versions, WiFi SSIDs, and even information regarding physical security was happily handed over. Additionally, this year's contest presenters noted that simple Internet searches of companies and their employees garnered far more sensitive information than in years past. The reason for the increase in company leaks on the public Internet? Social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. The problem I see is twofold.
Either way, the chances of information leaks and other security breaches goes up significantly because your IT security team tends to ignore employee education.
It's not the malware, it's the people
By education, I'm talking about training sessions that teach people about common pitfalls that most social engineers use. It's important to demonstrate that a caller-ID is easy to spoof -- or manipulate to show anything the caller wants. Just because the call comes from a known and trusted caller-ID, doesn't mean you should believe it.
Organizations also need to show employees on how to determine that the person is who they say they are. For example, when you get a phone call ask the caller to follow up with an email, or call him or her back at the caller-ID number to verify the person's identity. Instill into employees that sensitive information should never be transmitted over the phone and that fellow employees will never ask for it. Train them to become highly skeptical of who's on the other end of the line.
The truth is, malware can be contained if the proper security plans are in place -- and it's likely that your organization already has a decent hold on this issue. But security professionals can't stop here. Once the threat of most malware attacks is removed, we can move onto much more serious threats to data loss.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Mark Ingram for Heisman?
Top-ranked Alabama's tailback has re-entered the Heisman Trophy
conversation in the two games since returning from a knee injury.
Ingram says he's worrying about winning games, not a second
straight Heisman going into Saturday night's clash with No. 7
He had 157 yards at No. 15 Arkansas last weekend, including the
go-ahead touchdown.
Ingram says the Heisman is secondary and "will take care of
Ingram has come up big in games like this in the past. He
averaged 157 yards rushing against Top 25 teams last season, with
nine touchdowns.
He might have cemented the Heisman against the Gators in the SEC
championship game last season.

Iâve never understood the idea of a âhouse styleâ for a comic book company, because thereâs nothing more refreshing as a comic reader than opening up a brilliantly drawn book that looks new and exciting instead of like the same thing youâve seen a million times before. Such is the case with David Lafuenteâs take on the New Mutants in this book.
In this issue of âNew Mutants,â Dani Moonstar, imbued with the power of a Valkyrie by Hela, has returned to Helaâs dimension (Hel) for aid, only to find Hel overrun and in need of assistance. In an attempt to come to Daniâs aid, her teammates try to follow her to Hel but somehow end up in Hell, instead, and find themselves bargaining with Mephisto to get out, despite Bobby DaCostaâs frequent and vocal demand that they not engage with Mephisto. What Mephisto wants is intriguing and has me incredibly curious for more; hopefully, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning will get to tell that story in the future.
Abnett and Lanning have a great handle on these charactersâ voices and theyâve set up a plot that feels freewheeling and exuberant, even in the midst of the overwhelming "Fear Itself" event. Itâs a tone that well fits the characters they have at their disposal, and I found myself thoroughly entranced with the whole thing. Daniâs solo story is great and she really pops from the page as a powerful and compelling female lead that carries her own story easily. Sheâs convincing and wonderful as a Valkyrie, and I yearn to see more of her, Valkyrie or otherwise. Her teammates, in their own side story, have great chemistry together and deliver some comedy that balances the book out nicely.
Lafuenteâs art simply sings in this book and itâs the easily star of the show, though the whole book is good. The art skitters and jumps across the page, loose and kinetic but never confusing. It's full of life and expression and epic heroic moments contrasted perfectly with more quiet personal ones. None of Lafuenteâs characters look the same. They all have distinctive body types, faces, hairstyles, expressions, and body language. Lafuente is incredibly consistent in those variations. He knows how to push his cartoony extremes just far enough to make everything exciting and vibrant, without losing the reality needed to ground the story. Heâs the perfect artist for a book like this, one not afraid to push on boundaries and live on the edge a little bit. Every comic should look this good. The colors by David Lafuente, Val Staples, and Chris Sotomayor are gorgeously considered, a perfect match for the characters and settings of the book. Theyâre also flawlessly integrated, so itâs hard to distinguish where the change in colorists occur.
All in all, this was a great little comic book that manages to feel like its own book despite having a âFear Itselfâ banner stamped onto it. A single issue like this ensures Iâll be picking up the next issue, and you should too.

All Rise...
Judge Brett Cullum once used a spork in New York.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Hannah Montana And Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert (Blu-Ray) (published August 27th, 2008), Hannah Montana: Keeping It Real (published April 6th, 2009), Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert (published August 19th, 2008), Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye? (published March 15th, 2010), Hannah Montana: One In A Million (published January 26th, 2008), and Hannah Montana: The Movie (Blu-Ray) (published August 18th, 2009) are also available.
The Charge
The real Miley revealed.
The Case
Hannah Montana is a "tween" sensation. When her second collection of zippy pop songs debuted in late June of 2007 she knocked original American Idol Kelly Clarkson off top spot on the music charts. The young lady claimed the #1 spot on Billboard with Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. I live in Houston, and Hannah or Miley sold out her rodeo show here in record time. Yes, even the likes of Beyonce and Sheryl Crow couldn't compete against her popularity. This is a major star, and it seems bewildering to me how it all happened. Could the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus ("Achy Breaky Heart" and Dancing with the Stars) truly be a megaforce in entertainment? Apparently so. Looking at the latest DVD release Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile, I searched for some answers.
So who is Hannah Montana? On the show we have Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus, Big Fish) who performs onstage as a pop star. She's a huge celebrity, but when she's onstage she wears a blonde wig. In her every day life she keeps herself anonymous by not wearing the wig. Somehow nobody at her school knows she's a star other than her best friend Lily (Emily Osment, Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams). It amazes me nobody ever makes the connection when Miley only wears an obvious wig to protect her secret identity. Are people really this easily fooled? If Hannah sported Kiss style kabuki make-up it would seem more realistic, but the show keeps things simple. Of course her family is in on the well kept truth, and they help her keep the secret. Her dad Robbie Stewart (real life dad Billy Ray Cyrus) and brother (Jason Earles, American Pie Presents Band Camp) are along for the ride. The title of the DVD, Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile, is a bit deceptive because the disc only contains four episodes from the TV series. There's no profile of Hannah anywhere to be found. The plots revolve around Miley's struggle when TV star Jake Ryan (Cody Linley, Cheaper by the Dozen) comes to her school. He gets all the attention, and seems to genuinely like Miley. He unabashedly embraces his stardom, and that makes things hard on our undercover celeb hero.
The four episodes are:
"More Then a Zombie to Me"
"Good Golly, Miss Dolly"
"People Who Use People"
As a collection the episodes are cute, and they tie together nicely to show us the start of the relationship between Miley and Jake. It's harmless fun that should engage fans, and occupy kids who enjoy the series for an hour and a half. I'm not sure why there isn't a season by season collection of the show, but seems Disney likes to release single discs with four episodes rather than put them in chronological bigger chunks. Transfers include a nice looking fullscreen format and a surround sound mix that is active enough for a situation comedy. Extras are two featurettes: "The Real Miley Cyrus" which consists of interview clips with the cast, and "Nobody's Perfect" featuring a live performance of a new song by Hannah.
Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile doesn't answer any questions about why Miley/Hannah is such a sensation, but it will be something fans will appreciate. It's a simple four episode disc with a smattering of extras. If you can't get enough Hannah Montana it's an easy purchase decision. Adults and people who don't already know the series may find it puzzling such a simple show has created so much fervor. The Dolly Parton appearance will appeal the most to newbies. Like the star of the show, the collection is simple, nice, and unassuming. It's a program that Disney does well, and seems to make a ton of money with. If you believe a wig can keep you normal and your identity safe it's all good times and pop songs. If you yearn for something more complex or deeper then Hannah Montana might not be for you. This one is for the believers.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile a fair trial? yes / no

Ross D. Franklin, Associated Press
Which opponent would give the Utah Jazz the best chance of advancing to the NBA Finals?
The Jazz will have their hands full, no doubt, no matter what. Either one will have the home-court advantage over Utah. Both are led by players with matching MVP trophies on their respective mantles. The Jazz will be seriously lacking in the playoff experience department against either foe.
One team has the best offense in the NBA, averaging 110.2 points per game in the regular season. The other surrendered a league-low 90.1 points and has the top two vote-getters on the NBA's 2006-07 All-Defensive Team.Here's a quick look at how the Jazz match up against the Spurs and Suns in five categories: recent history, frontline, backcourt, bench play and style of play.
RECENT HISTORY It's no secret that the Spurs have dominated the Jazz in recent years. San Antonio, in fact, won 18 straight over Utah at one point from 2000 to 2005. The Jazz haven't won a game in San Antonio since 1999. That's a current 16-game winning streak for the Spurs over Utah in the Alamo City.
If the Jazz play the Spurs, they'll have to win at least one game in Texas to advance. Then again, this is a new, better Jazz team than in the recent past and Utah won both games in Salt Lake City against the Spurs this season.
The Jazz actually beat the Suns 3-1 in the regular season series this season and the lone loss was late in the year when Utah was struggling and dealing with injuries.Better for Utah based on recent history: Phoenix
FRONTLINE Tim Duncan is a force on both ends of the court. The two-time MVP was selected to the league's All-Defensive Team for the 10th time this season. But he also gets the job done on offense. He averaged 20 points on 55 percent shooting during the regular season and is averaging 23.4 points during the playoffs. He has proven to be a tough matchup for Jazz star Carlos Boozer.
Michael Finley has been starting at forward during the playoffs and has given the team a nice scoring punch. Utah center Mehmet Okur should have an advantage on either young center the Spurs go with, Fabricio Oberto or Francisco Elson.
The Suns were a great team a year ago without star center Amare Stoudemire, who missed virtually the entire year with a knee injury. This season Stoudemire was back to pre-injury form, earning All-NBA first team honors. Add forwards Shawn Marion and Kurt Thomas, and the Suns' frontcourt is averaging 49.2 points and 27.5 rebounds per game during the playoffs.
Duncan is great, but the Suns frontline creates more matchup problems.Better for Utah based on the frontcourt: San Antonio
BACKCOURT Steve Nash has simply been the best basketball player on the planet the past three years. He has two MVP awards and this year's second-place showing to prove it. Jazz fans know Nash's backcourt mate well, too. Raja Bell was a fan and Jerry Sloan favorite during his two years in Utah due to his determination, work ethic and 3-point shooting.
San Antonio's Tony Parker is an All-Star in his own right who shoots an incredible percentage from the field for a point guard due to his ability to penetrate and get layups. He is not as physical as Golden State's Baron Davis, but he could still give Utah's Deron Williams problems. He is joined by defensive specialist/3-point shooter Bruce Bowen.
The guardlines are close, but the slight advantage goes to the team with the two-time MVP.Better for Utah based on the backcourt: San Antonio.
BENCH PLAY: The Suns have the NBA's sixth man of the year in Leandro Barbosa, who is averaging 16.1 points in the playoffs.

The non-profit Queenstown society will present its first
"Play of the Month" in the Dux de Lux on Sunday and the first
Sunday of the month from then on. The informal format will
involve "rehearsed readings" from scripts by Wakatipu actors
and actresses standing in the pub's lounge.
"The point is to give the opportunity to cast, aspiring
directors and audiences of a theatre experience on a regular
basis and maintain interest between our two major productions
a year," actor David Cantwell said.
The first play by Remarkable Theatre will be a satirical
dissection of celebrity culture called Dumb Show (2004) by
British journalist turned playwright and screenwriter Joe
Tiffany Menzies and David Oakley play a pair of down-market
newspaper reporters orchestrating a classic tabloid sting
against a television personality played by Mr Cantwell, who
doubled as director.
The imaginary curtain rises on Dumb Show at the Dux de Lux on
Sunday at 7.30pm.

Electrophysiological Testing of the Heart
If you have an arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), cardiologists can use an electrophysiologic study (EPS) to find out what part of the heart is causing this change in rhythm and what medicines will work best to bring that rhythm back to normal. Sometimes doctors will recommend a treatment called ablation that can be done during EPS testing. Ablation uses electricity to kill the cells in the heart muscle that seem to cause the abnormal rhythm.

When the UK vote to leave the European Union was cast, the makeup of the British labor force was a major issue in many people's minds. Over 2 million people from European Union countries work in the UK. They have been able to work in the UK largely because of Britain's membership in the EU which eased requirements still applied to workers outside of the EU and the Commonwealth.
No one knows exactly what is going to happen as Britain begins its exodus from the EU, but if the departure fails to recognize certain long-held agreements, many of those EU nationals living and working in the UK may be asked to return home, and many UK workers and retirees may be asked to return to the UK. Negotiations could also lead to a more reasonable transition, and a continuation of shared labor agreements.
But if the underlying issue of work immigration remains a major influence on policy, it may prove politically difficult for the UK government and businesses to continue to employ foreign citizens in UK-based jobs. The loss of this talent would leave UK businesses with a deeper skills shortage than they already face, and place the UK at a global disadvantage for companies in countries who can attract younger, more aligned talent. One approach, as this 18 February 2016 article from The Guardian How can the UK overcome a national skills shortage? Think local suggests is to form partnerships between universities and business in order to better align programs with local skill needs.
But there is another approach that will likely be a stop gap, even if more radical domestic policy reform takes hold: hiring talented people virtually from other countries.
While many companies already outsource some of their roles, Brexit could drive additional needs. Those needs will only be fulfilled, however, if people have the right technical and business skills and can communicate well with English-speaking managers and customers.
Countries like India already have strong ties to the UK and have been leveraging their UK relationships to open doors in the EU. The result of the vote could lead to even deeper ties between Indian and the UK as Indian businesses concentrate on UK opportunities (a 2015 Grant Thorton Study, India meets Britain, places Indian-company employment in the UK at 110,000).
The only thing that is really known about the result of Brexit at this point is that it has created a two-year horizon of uncertainty for UK businesses. One of the best ways to shore up uncertainty is to take action that brings near-term stability. If the foreign worker status is in doubt, hiring virtual workers to complement them is an action that won't be affected by Brexit. If the foreign workers stay or go, those brought on virtually who perform well, will likely find a way to remain valuable to the businesses they support. But that all hinges on technically-savvy workers around the world being ready to tap the British talent need by knowing the language that drives UK commerce…English.

Citizen Science: Looking for tiger salamanders in northeastern Washington.
These pages will contain information about tiger salamanders in northeastern Washington State. The ultimate purpose of this information is to gather sightings to link the distribution of tiger salamanders around Spokane to those in Canada. Currently, a nearly blank spot exists on the map between sightings near Spokane and sightings near Canada.
Tiger salamanders are the largest salamander in our area and only one of two found in northeast Washington. It has squiggly greenish blotches on a black background, including its belly (see photo below). The other salamander, the long-toed salamander, is thinner (but can be as long), has a wide, yellowish stripe along its back, and has no marks on its belly. In this area, tiger salamanders are generally found in the valleys and at lower elevations in Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine forests. Long-toed salamanders generally live at higher elevations in cooler forests.
Adult tiger salamanders are most active above ground in late March and April, often at night and during rains, when they move about to lay their eggs in shallow water in small ponds and lakes. During other times of the year, they primarily reside underground, hunting nearly anything that will fit into their large mouths.
Tiger salamanders are one of the most common and widespread salamanders in North America. They are common near Spokane and occur north of us in Canada, but we don't have many records from Stevens, Ferry or Pend Oreille counties. Help me connect the dots between Spokane and Canada.
If you see a tiger salamander in NE Washington or have any questions, please call Chris Loggers at 509-738-7727 or email me at email@example.com . If you email, please put "tiger salamander" in the subject line. For sighting information, I'll ask the date and location you found it (if you have access to Google Earth, you can go to that and find a coordinate (either lat/long, UTM, etc.), a description including length, a photograph if you can take one, and whether or not you want your name listed as the one who discovered it. Thanks!
If you want to find out more about reptiles and amphibians in NE Washington, check out the Washington Herp Atlas at

KRC v Aurora Hills/Highland Park, Arlington, Sunday morning, June 21, after 10am
Kennedy Recreation Center was deserted Sunday morning while Aurora Hills Rec Center was filled with people and families. Inviting, clean and safe recreation areas are great amenities for communities. Tax payers should neither need to be recruited to volunteer to clean up after other users, nor should we be expected to supervise the employees who manage our recreation centers — we already pay taxes to have these basic services done. Hopefully, cleaning our recreation centers and maintaining their safety is in the District's 2009 and 2010 budgets and haven't been swept under the rug in some back room deals that are kept out of the light public scrutiny — even eluding the appropriate Ward Councilmember's attention.
One day after the NCEC's annual community — rescheduled due to rain — there was still plenty of litter at the NJ Ave & O St park. Although the park was apparently cleaned up on Thursday or Friday, it was in clear need of maintenance again Sunday morning.

The Metro Freight research series assesses goods trade at the metropolitan scale. It uses a unique and comprehensive database to capture all the goods moving in and out of U.S. metropolitan areas, both domestically and beyond. The reports in the series describe which goods move between metropolitan areas, how they move via different modes of transportation, and uncover the specific trading relationships between U.S. metropolitan areas as well as their global counterparts.
The great port mismatch: U.S. goods trade and international transportation (PDF)
Adie Tomer and Joseph Kane, June 2015
America's international ports are a vital conduit between the international marketplace and domestic producers and consumers, but there is an information gap when it comes to ports' specific role in the country's trade networks. This paper uncovers an intense spatial mismatch in the country's international flow of goods: A small group of port complexes handles the vast majority of all trade flows, but those ports primarily serve domestic markets besides their own.

Metro Modes: Charting a Path for the U.S. Freight Transportation Network
Joseph Kane and Adie Tomer, June 2015
Trucks, airports, railroads, waterways, and pipelines represent the foundation of the country's freight network. Yet congestion costs and tight budgets require that we prioritize freight investments. Understanding the types of goods moved by each mode—and the industries supported by these movements—is a crucial step for regions to take to address their freight challenges. This report illustrates how trucks serve as a backbone for the nation's entire freight network, but also reveals how several other modes are essential to support the exchange of goods.

Establish a national freight investment program to improve trade and economic performance (PDF)
Adie Tomer and Joseph Kane, February 2015
Goods trade is highly concentrated and interconnected throughout the U.S., relying on a distinct set of markets and freight infrastructure assets to deliver broad-based economic growth. Due to high levels of interstate trade, the federal government has a unique responsibility to support more efficient freight movement. However, the country still does not have an investment vehicle to prioritize key corridors, productive rural areas, and major metropolitan hubs. This policy proposal describes how the federal government should establish a multimodal freight investment program that includes a combination of formula and competitive grants to drive regional growth.
Mapping freight: The highly concentrated nature of goods trade in the United States (PDF)
Adie Tomer and Joseph Kane, November 2014
In today's global economy, metro areas forge the key physical connections that bind different markets together. Yet, little is known about where individual metro areas trade their goods. This report explores the major trade corridors connecting different regions of the country, revealing the importance of particular places in the nation's freight network. Since the most valuable corridors are often concentrated among the nation's largest metropolitan areas, policymakers must fundamentally reorient freight policy to best support trade across the country.

Metro-to-metro: Global and domestic goods trade in metropolitan America (PDF)
Adie Tomer, Robert Puentes and Joseph Kane, October 2013
In 2010, the United States moved more than $3 trillion in goods internationally or nearly $8.8 billion, on average, each day. However, an exclusive focus on national trade fails to recognize the extreme regional variety in production, consumption, and goods exchange. This discussion paper marks the first time metropolitan areas can begin to explore their place in domestic and global goods trade networks by tracking which regions generate the most international trade and the level of trade within the much larger domestic marketplace.

Metro freight: The global goods trade that moves metro economies (PDF)
Adie Tomer, Robert Puentes and Joseph Kane, October 2013
This primer establishes the economic rationale for metropolitan goods trade, describing why, how, and what these areas exchange with each other. One of the lessons from the Great Recession is the need to grow and support the tradable sectors, typically manufacturing and high-end services, of our metropolitan economies. But to drive these tradable sectors, metropolitan areas need physical access to markets. Metropolitan freight connectivity enables this access and the ensuing modern global value chains. Without it, trade cannot occur.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Many of you will probably wonder
why we put Windows Vista on the cover of this month's issue. "So many other computer magazines are hyping Vista," you'll say. "Why does a Linux magazine have to do it? Aren't you supposed to be a refuge from Windows hype?" Hype, however, is the whole reason why an issue like this is necessary. The problem isn't that these other magazines mention Vista; the real problem is that, all too often, they mingle their coverage of Vista with a spoon-fed version of the Microsoft world view. In Microsoft's view of reality, Linux hardly even exists, but the best response to this limited perspective is not to imagine a world in which Windows doesn't exist. A more productive path is to take up the challenge of providing the information our readers will need to keep Windows and Linux connected. Windows is part of the landscape, like a tree or a rock. If you happen onto it, you have to either go around it or figure out some way to deal with it. In either case, it helps to have good information. Our goal is to report on things you'll need to know to keep your Linux systems running smoothly in mixed environments.
