Chair of the Language Access Plan Implementation Task Force
More than 200 languages and dialects are spoken in California. Without proper language assistance, Limited English Proficient (LEP) court users may be excluded from meaningful participation in the judicial court process. In January 2015, the Judicial Council adopted this statewide Language Access Plan (LAP) Report to provide recommendations, guidance, and a consistent statewide approach to ensure language access throughout the courts. The Language Access Implementation Task Force, chaired by California Supreme Court Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, advises the Judicial Council on implementation of the LAP recommendations.

Strategic Plan for Language Access in the California Courts
A version of the Language Access Plan that includes graphics is now available.
April 28, 2015: Executive Summary for the Language Access Plan is now available in the following languages.
|Spanish (Español)
Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt)
Korean (한국어)
Chinese (中文)
Farsi (فارسی)
|Russian (Русский)
Tagalog (Tagalog)
Arabic (العربية)
Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ)
Khmer (Khmer)
Language access allows limited English proficient (LEP) individuals access to a wide range of services. As defined by the U.S. Department of Justice, LEP individuals are persons who do not speak English as their primary language and who may have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English.
In California, the most diverse state in the country:

Limited English proficient (LEP) court users are unable to file the proper paperwork correctly and are required to return to court.
Signage in English may appear simple enough to understand, but to a LEP court user, key inforrmation is often misunderstood.
Court users come to courthouses because they have a problem that they cannot resolve on their own. The state constitution requires that courts provide interpreting services for court users involved in criminal and certain juvenile cases. Efforts to expand interpreting services in civil cases are underway.
Without proper language assistance, limited English proficient (LEP) court users may be excluded from meaningful participation in the judicial process. Many LEP litigants appear without an attorney, and friends and family members who act as interpreters often do not understand legal terminology or court procedures.
Further, LEP court users' language needs are not limited to the courtroom; the need for language assistance extends to all points of contact for the public. The Courts are searching for new solutions for these issues including more efficient use of existing resources to help improve and expand language access around the state.

I was standing outside with my neighbor, talking about how windy it was... we heard this "CRACK" and my neighbor said, "that was your tree". Sure enough, I looked over and saw half of the tree was on the ground! Funny thing was we were just discussing having them trimmed to prevent them from breaking this winter!

Ok, I see your problem. The tree was growing perpendicular to the ground. This was inevitable. Nice grass wall, though.

Fizik Antares Versus Saddle
The Fizik Antares Versus Kium rail saddle features a recessed, center channel about 2cm wide to provide relief to sensitive areas. The channel is created with extra padding for more cushioning as well as center relief.
The Fizik Antares fills the gap between Fizik's most popular saddles, the Aliante and the Arione. The Antares is flat just like the Arione, but is a little wider like the Aliante--offering more support for the sit bones. Its light 205 gram weight and durable Kium rails make it a great racing saddle.
The Fizik Antares has Fizik's proven pedigree of comfort, and it also has more padding than most other saddles in the same weight class. The Antares is a fantastic choice for riders who prefer a lightweight, flat and slightly wider saddle. The Antares is ICS compatible meaning a Fizik ICS saddle bag can snap onto the saddle for a super-clean installation--no more straps flapping around.

Someone told me that if a person did not swim prior to the three weeks, he may not start swimming during the three weeks? Is there a source for this? (sources)
Although people say that one may not go swimming for the first time during the Three Weeks, there is no halachic source for this practice. It is therefore not considered a binding custom and it is permitted without Hataras Nedorim (Piskei Teshuvos 551:46).
One may swim during the three weeks, but not after Rosh Chodesh Av. Some however have a custom not to go swimming during the three weeks at all.
It sounds like those who allow one to "Continue swimming" is a subset of those who don't swim during the 3 weeks, but it is not the normal custom.

So I played Asura's Wrath for the first time a few days ago. It was a pretty cool "Game" I say it that way because there was about four hours of actual gameplay in it. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I am saying that the trailers were a total tease. In the trailers you saw all kinds of cool fighting and such where Asura jumps on someones face and proceeds to destroy it with his six fists. I will also say on another bad note that it was short, It really was. Now for the good notes.
Graphics: Pretty, looked painted.
(Like one of the most important parts of a game!) Soundtrack: Good, Kind wish there was a different song for Yasha.
Techniques: Bland, Yasha was very cool, but Asura could've had a few more attacks. (Like a ground pound)
Boss fights: Fun.
Extra notes: I, on a personal note thought that the whole targeting reticle thingie was really cool. It was completely different.
All in all it was a good experience, got kind of annoying when a cutscene would come up and then just as you put the controller down, "PRESS THE Y BUTTON!!!" or "MASH THE B BUTTON" it was somewhat annoying, but nothing that really down grades it.
Asura's Wrath: 8.5 out of 10.
And it's my personal opinion so get over it if you don't like it.

Riku Helenius allowed 8 goals on 22 shots in just under 33 minutes of work Saturday night as the Florida Everblades pimp slapped the hapless Lynx 12-0. Goaltender Mike Brodeur relieved Helenius just after midway giving up 4 more goals on another 20 shots. The game play turned ugly after the Blades put up the 8th goal with 4 Blades and 5 Lynx earning fighting majors and game misconducts at 13:54 of the 2nd period, including Lightning forward prospect Chris Lawrence. The fisticuffs continued for the remainder of the game, as the Lynx amassed a total of 142 PIMs with Florida tacking on 91 of their own PIMs.
Florida 12 @ Augusta 0
G Riku Helenius: 8 GA; 32:42 MINS; 22 SH; 14 SV;
D Kevin Quick: 0-0-0; -2; 0 PIM; 1 SOG
F Chris Lawrence: 0-0-0; -3; 15 PIM; 0 SOG
Augusta falls to 5-7-1-1 with the Dayton Bombers coming to town to play the Lynx for a Sunday afternoon mantinee.
The road trip ends with the repeated thuds of the Ads' shooters banging their heads against a wall.
Karri Ramo allowed 3 goals on 23 shots for the loss.

Norfolk actually outshot Lowell by a staggering 44 to 24 margin, but couldn't solve the Devils' netminder to make a comeback. So ends a frustrating road trip in which the Admirals started to show what they can do offensively (with tonight's game excluded), but still can't manage to keep the puck out of the back of their own net.
It's not a huge hole for Norfolk (5-10-4) to climb out of quite yet. They're still within 4 points of Binghamton and Philadelphia in the race for the final playoff spot in the division. But, urgency needs to be setting in. It's understandable that the Admirals weren't able to make more headway on a two week road trip through the Northeast. However, the Ads start a three game homestand on Wednesday at The Scope against Springfield, and the results need to start coming in the friendly confines of the Hall of Doom.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
All 11 prospects were in action on Friday night ... Two earned First Star awards.
Results from all three of Tampa Bay's NCAA prospects.
Chris Lawrence and Kevin Quick were scoreless as the Lynx lost 2-1 to the Florida Everblades at James Brown Arena in Augusta. Riku Helenius backed up goaltender Mike Brodeur, who stopped 40 of 42 Blades shots. Helenius will likely get the Saturday night rematch against Florida, with Brodeur make in net Sunday afternoon. All signs indicate that Helenius has lost the #1 spot to Brodeur.

G Riku Helenius: did not play

Congratulations to Rick Tocchet on his first NHL win as a head coach. Now go get number two.
Steven Stamkos had 2 helpers and was +1 in 11:58 with 3 shots and 1 hit. He was also 0-for-3 on draws. Tonight's game was the second multi-point night of the young man's career. Now go get number three.
Box score and extended statistics from NHL.com.
A wild west (Massachusetts) shootout.
Mike McKenna allowed 7 goals on 33 shots, including a super soft game winning goal, for the loss. He was every bit as terrible as his stat line suggests. McKenna has allowed 4 or more goals in 3 of his 4 starts this season. Now, it doesn't help that the Admirals' defense has been horrible. However, if this keeps up, you wonder if the Lightning organization will give the green light to take a peek at Riku Helenius.

If Jamie Heward decides to jet to Europe, I'm telling you, this Admirals team is so in trouble. He was named the game's third star.
Vladimir Mihalik was benched midway through the second period for poor decision making with the puck.

The growing importance of mobile technology in our contemporary world is obvious. Not only does it makes people's lives easier by converging different tasks in one single device such as a laptop or a Smartphone, but it also helps to optimize time with the help of different software and applications. This works for both our personal and professional lives. Businessmen from companies of all sizes have been adapting their workplace to fit new gadgets and gizmos, with the intention of being more flexible, fast and efficient. So when thinking about strategies for helping start-up companies to take off, mobile technology should be considered as a great starting point. Let's go through some of the benefits which mobile technology can give to small businesses and start-up companies.
Mobility is all about freedom and, of course, portability. Latest laptops allow users to experience absolute mobility: you can travel on and about and still remain connected to the latest market trends. For start-up owners this can be a great attribute for a couple of reasons.
First of all, in the majority of cases, newly born companies have limited funds. So being able to work from home without having to pay for an office space can be of great help.
Secondly, most IT manufacturers are developing cloud computing systems which allow documents to be accessed from everywhere with the help of various devices, such as smartphones, pcs, and tablets. This decreases the storage cost, and enhances the communication flow, as files can be sent, received and modified in one embedded platform.
Worthwhile usage
Technology can help to optimize time and make daily tasks and work processes more efficient. According to a report ran by the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council in 2011, mobile apps can help small business owners save an average of 5.6 hours per week. However, start-up and small businesses owners must make their research before choosing right technologies which will actually help their companies to evolve. John Antunes, a director of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) operations at SAP told BBC: "Whatever technology SMEs invest in, whether it's new cloud capabilities, analytics or mobility solutions, it needs to be able to grow with the business, providing functionality you will need both now and in the future."
With that in mind, it is important to be very careful regarding what are the best solutions for your start-up. Proper technologies would help your business to prosper and help you to achieve even better results.
To sum up, if time is money then mobile technology is a perfect fit. Even if it is a big investment in the beginning, the day to day activities will show how it will pay off since work will be faster, more efficient and more integrated.

Well, I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday! I know I did. Busy, busy! Traveling to spend time with family is always burdensome, but once we arrive at our destination I am always glad we did.
I recently revisited my 2011 resolutions and found that all in all, I did pretty well. If you didn't read it, you can here. It's time to start thinking about 2012 and what I can do to better my life in the upcoming year.
2011 has been a great year. I've had so many changes and have become an even better person than I was the year before. At least I think so! I like to break out my resolutions in three different categories – health, personal, and business/career. I do this because I don't want to skimp in any area. This encompasses my entire life and I do try to keep my career and personal life separate so that I can enjoy both fully while I am doing them. And what red-blooded American woman doesn't have "Lose 10 lbs" on their resolution list? Well, technically, I don't have that. But 10 would be nice!
This was the one area in which I didn't complete all my goals from last year, specifically the races, so by default they will be added to this years. It's not like I can't do it, I was just too lazy to actually register for the runs. I was running a 5k every other day either on my treadmill at home or with my dog in the park. It just wasn't an actual race. So…
1. I resolve to Run the Race for the Cure – This is actually a little closer to my heart because my aunt had a little scare earlier this year. While she has been lucky so far, breast cancer does actually run in my family. So with that said, I have actually already logged onto the website and registered myself. If you would like to donate to my fundraising goals, you can check out my personal page here. I have set my goal at $250, but I am hoping to far surpass that. If you would like to join me in the run, you can register yourself here. I would love a training/running buddy!
2. I resolve to Run a 10k – I have decided to run the City of Pittsburgh Great Race 10k in September. Registration opens January 1st, so as soon as that is available I will do that and be done. Then all I have to do is train. Again, training/running buddies are welcome!
3. I resolve to complete P90X – Yes. I am subjecting myself to this torture. Ha! I am actually joining a fitness challenge with a group of friends who are all doing this starting January 9th. Each day we will text/call/email each other to make sure we are following through. My dream is to feel comfortable in a bathing suit in public. So I guess I have to start somewhere!
I really think my resolution for last year was a success in this category. I really want to expand on that this year. It was so hard to measure if I completed this one because I am the only one who can say whether or not I did it. I think that this year, I need to be able to measure whether or not I've accomplished my goal.
4. With that said, I resolve to set aside at least one night per month to have a girls night- whether it be going to a movie and dinner or out on the town. I love my hubby dearly, but QT with my girlfriends cannot be replaced. I hope to do it more often, but I have to start somewhere.
5. As cheesy as it is, I resolve to spend more QT with my handsome husband. Not in the form of "date night" per se, but just by cooking him a nice dinner (or him cooking me dinner!) and watching a movie together at home. After all, we do have two kids (fur babies, I'm not hiding anything from y'all!) and they need love and attention too.
As you all know, the past year has been crazy and quite a few unexpected changes happened. All of them for the better. I am a happier person. I actually LOVE my job. Not many people can say that. Now that I have been working at the Mansion for almost 4 months, I have learned many of the ins and outs of my position. I still have a lot to learn, but it is so nice to be able to function in my new job without being completely dependent on someone else.
6. In order to better myself and learn more, I resolve to attend more seminars/webinars/conferences. I plan on reading books that will help me learn more about marketing, social networking, customer service, whatever. Hell, I might even take a class this year. So with this resolution, I plan on becoming a better event coordinator by learning as much as physically possible.
Six things. That's it. Six. One of which I have already started on by registering for the Race for the Cure. I hope you have made some great resolutions. If you want to share, feel free! I will help you follow through!

An angel painting was created by Maya Collins, 9, of Ohio, who is living with acute myeloid leukemia. Maya said the painting is a representation of all young cancer patients and what they endure. It will be auctioned at the Color Me Beautiful event Feb. 23 in Wausau.
Two local philanthropists have joined forces to create an event to celebrate the artistic talent of those living with cancer and chromosome disorders and benefit organizations that support research in the two fields.
In February, Amy Zondlo of The Jeanie Marie Fund and Dana Tehako-Esser of Noah's Never Ending Rainbow will host Color Me Beautiful, a silent art auction, to benefit the two organizations.

The movie, which opens Friday, is based on
With a hurricane bearing down, an uncooperative doctor (
A: That's right. The sheer nature of the narrative was extremely complex and a kind of balancing act. Teddy has a very complicated past, and the whole movie deals with his memories, which can also be interpreted as dreams. Scorsese wanted to emphasize a layer of ambiguity with the character and the storyline. I don't think he wanted it to be a gimmicky ending or one of those popcorn reveals.
Q: The story also takes you to an incredibly dark place that I had never seen depicted in a movie quite in this manner.
A: What struck me about doing this character and this story as a whole is how incredibly emotional it was and how much it explored the dark side of humanity. At the end of the day, this movie is really a character piece. All of the genre stuff — the Gothic horror and thriller aspects of it — sort of dissolve away as you get down to the core of the movie, which is human trauma and the ability to recover from that. Or not.
Q: When I first heard Scorsese was going to direct"
A: I know what you mean. I wasn't even prepared for
it when I watched it as an audience member. That's the great thing
about working with a director like
Q: A lot of directors with careers as long as Scorsese's tend to peak at a certain point, and then their films start showing the director's age. But Scorsese is still experimenting and trying new things at 67. There's a long shot in this movie that pans from left to right as a group of Nazi prisoners is being executed that made my jaw drop. It's a beautifully directed movie.
A: He's constantly pushing himself, even though he's
made so many movies. A part of me is regretful in some sense, because
I'm so focused on what I have to do when I'm working with him that I
don't get a chance at all to hang out on the sidelines and watch his
process. A lot of that experience — being able to watch
Q: You've worked with an impressive roster of directors —
A: It's hard to explain his process. There's nothing distinctive about the way Scorsese directs that is much different or far superior to other directors of his caliber. But there's an undercurrent to what he's doing that's almost intangible. You can't put your finger on it. It's the way he deals with his actors, the way he edits small little moments and holds them, the way he'll push in with the camera in a way that's almost undetectable. And then when you see all the pieces of the puzzle, they make a beautiful tapestry. He's working on so many different levels simultaneously.
The one thing I can say with absolute clarity that is definitive about him is that he gives the actor complete authority with your character — lets you take responsibility. Even if you go off in a different direction that he doesn't feel is right for the film, he'll let you go there and discover that for yourself, because he expects his actors to ultimately help him with the movie he's trying to make. He explores the movie through his actors, and that's amazing. And kind of rare.
Q: You've played some fairly intense characters in Scorsese's movies. How has that experience affected your approach to acting as a whole? Do you work differently now or look for different things in scripts than you did before?
A: One thing I've learned is to be open to discovering the character as you are making the film. Scorsese and I both came into this film knowing very much what the genre was and what kind of film we were making stylistically. But we didn't really understand what emotional depths we needed to go until we were on the set that day. There was a scene in the script that was very simply described, and it wasn't until we were getting ready to shoot it that I said "Wow, this is actually the most important moment in the entire movie!" And Marty said "Yep, it is." And I realized on the spot that I would really need to push it. I can't talk specifically about what that scene is, because it gives away too much of the movie. But that whole sequence by the lake is some of the most intense work I have ever done in my LIFE.
