Cologne 2011: designer Philippe Nigro presented this set of bright yellow divans, two tables and a foot stool for Ligne Roset at imm cologne last month.
Called Entailles, the sofas can be arranged in different configurations to make a one, two or three-seater platform.
Tables slot into gaps between the seats.

imm cologne took place 18-23 January. See all our coverage of the event here »
All our stories on Ligne Roset on Dezeen »
More furniture on Dezeen »
Here's a bit of text from Ligne Roset:
"Viewing everyday life through the prism of objects which are surprising, yet sensible."
Since 1999, Philippe Nigro has worked as a freelance designer; he is also an associate of the De Lucchi studio in Milan, where he works on numerous projects in the fields of product design, furniture and lighting design, interior architecture, promotional events and scenography.
To use the exact words of Philippe Nigro, these divans are 'quasi-articulated' by means of 'functional notches' which can accommodate small pedestal tables (for reading, writing, working, drinking, eating...).
These simple details confer on the divans a whole new aesthetic totally at odds with conventional images, whilst making it possible to obtain different seat depths and back heights. In order to fully respond to the original idea, it is possible to have the notches in a different colour and/or fabric. The end result is a 'living' divan, which seems to be in constant movement.

Avant Gershwin
Gershwin's got more than rhythm on Patti Austin's full-throttled follow-up to her '02 Grammy-nominated disc For Ella. Recorded live with Germany's WDR Big Band, Avant recasts Gershwin classics like "Summertime" and "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" into clever medleys and uptempo showstoppers, keeping the swing-era rivalries between the brass and reed sections while updating the beat with more complex modern ideas. Austin—an '80s R&B hitmaker with songs like "Baby Come to Me"—commands attention like a '40s screen siren in close-up. Throughout she radiates style and drama, singing with poise and remarkable energy, whether it's the furious scatting on "Lady Be Good" or her surprising makeover of "Swanee."

Adequate Training for Non-English Speaking Workers Among Goals
ATLANTA -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration will sign a statewide partnership agreement Wednesday with the Georgia Branch of the Associated General Contractors of America to reduce worker injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
"Thousands of construction workers in Georgia stand to benefit from this program," said Cindy Coe Laseter, OSHA's regional administrator in Atlanta.
Contractors in the partnership, known as the Construction Health and Safety Excellence (CHASE) Program, will focus on reducing the four leading causes of fatal accidents at construction sites: falls, being struck by objects, being caught in or between objects, and electrocution.
Participating employers also must adequately train non-English speaking employees.
CHASE is based on three progressive levels of safety achievement: Red, White and Blue. Companies reach the highest Blue level by demonstrating outstanding safety and health accomplishments.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Beer Talk' started by DarkDragon999, Apr 25, 2013.
When mine was alive he drank Milwaukee's Best. Thats all I saw him drink.
Piels and Bud.
Coors light.
Wouldn't look at any other beers.
Wish I could say that shows the difference in our generations, but unfortunately I would be mistaken.
Meister Brau and Schmidts, respectively
only PBR. I've never had one, probably should try it sometime. Oh and he would leave it in the sun before opening it.
Never saw him drink beer when he was alive...though he did tell me his family used to brew "dark beer" (as he put it) in the '20s & '30s and that his job was "the capper."
All I can recall is him drinking Elmo Pio wine (along with the other grown-ups), served from a jug, that was cooled on the patio during holidays.
My grandpa died when I was 13 or so...I don't remember seeing him drink much at all, but the rest of my family said he drank a shitload of 7/7's. Might explain why he always had 7 Up in the fridge - I do remember that.
Also, last name is Burgei, and I remember he had a couple cans of Burgie! beer on a shelf.
EDIT: My dad also informed me about a year ago that my grandpa homebrewed beer too, which I never knew. Kind of funny that I got into the hobby too without knowing that.
Since Dad & Grandpa were around pre- and post-prohibition, I'm guessing they drank stuff from local breweries, so things have come full circle.
Bud Fat
Drank Bud for years, switched to Red Dog of all things, wen't back to Bud when Red Dog disappeared, then went to Yuengling when AB was no longer American owned. Also talks about drinking Rheingold and Schaefer growing up in BK, but those were gone (or mostly gone) by the time I was around.
My grandpa, drank Old Style for years and years. He switched to Miller Lite a while back and will not drink anything else. He is 85 years old, he goes to the VFW, and a couple other "clubs" 3 days a week, and drinks Miller Lite out of cans.
Mom's dad passed before i turned one. My parents tell me (and photos support) that he was a Busch Bavarian man. Many photos and stories of him grilling pork steaks out back. He's slow grill them over a 12 pack- some for him, some for the steaks. As my dad tells it, it was a full day grill, designed to get away from his wife.
Other grandfather was not a beer drinker. Went for the harder stuff.
Strictly Schaffer... I think that's how you spell it...CHEERS
this and only this, had it on tap at his house after a while, when i was 5 he taught me how to pour a proper pint and then i became the beer runner for him and his friends while they sat on the pontoon boat all day and drank. had to run up and down a ridiculous hill with multiple beers in hand constantly. those images pop in my head every time i see a genny can
Homebrewed during Prohibition. Haberle Congress afterwards.
Mother's father:
Genesee. I remember when I was in like 7th grade I said to him "you could seal driveways with that stuff".
If only I could toss my grandfather a ten-fidy and hear him say the same thing to me...
Special Export and PBR. Man I miss him, wish I could have a beer with him (I was not yet 21 when he passed). He's a man with words. I just recently I watched some family home videos that my dad gave me. He always had a beer in the videos!
Nips of Genesee. But I can't recall which one. Back then, the bottles were distinguished by a green vs blue label, and I *think* it was the blue label he'd get.
Milwaukee's Best lol
other grandpa drank schlitz and blatz
Pretty close... only 1 letter off
Whatever was on sale, Milwaukee's Best and Genny Cream were among my first and worst beer experiences. When my Grandfather heard that there was going to be a $.05 deposit on cans he preemptively cellared 200+ cases. He also only drank beer and coffee (never water) for as long as I knew him, quitting coffee at the end of his life, blaming it for his health problems. RIP
Sooooo close... I had it once in honor of him, it was a $2 pitcher
funny story. my grandma was huge antidrinking so when my dad was dating my mom my dad would bring beer (coors) to the pasture and bury it underneath a tree. that way my grandpa could drink beer whenever he was 'workin the field'. never saw him drink a cold beer in his life.
My granddad doesn't drink much, but as a young adult worked at the olympia brewing company and was given free beer at the end of each shift.
I don't remember grandpa being much of a drinker, but there's a notorious family story of my sister bringing a couple bottles of pop from the cellar. Grandma opened and poured a glass for her and a friend, thinking she'd never heard of "Rolling Rock" before, and that it was a lot more foamy than their regular ginger ale.
Grandpa did enjoy my homebrew late in his life, and even went on a couple trips to the homebrew shop with me. (jeez typing this brought a little tear to my eye. He's been gone for more than ten years, and I still miss him.)
My other grandfather died very young, so I don't know much about him.
He doesn't drink beer often, but when he does, he prefers...heineken, becks or grolsch.
He wasn't picky. Drank mostly genesse and yuengling from what I remember
i never saw my grandfather with anything but rolling rock, he was an assistant brewmaster there so you didnt dare drink something other than that around him
Newcastle was my grandfathers beer of choice. I think he took a liking to it when he was stationed overseas.
One other beer related story on my mom's dad. Her Sunday school teacher was a die hard Christian Temperance Movement veteran, had the kids sing songs straight from pre-pro literature. My mom was still very young, and wanted to know more about her dad. One Sunday morning she was excited to learn her teacher knew her parents. She asks the old hag about her father and she looked down at her and said "your dad was a drinker" in that way only the truly self-righteous can speak.
My Grampa would enjoy a bottle of Heineken poured into a glass. He would then take a salt shaker and add a few shakes of salt. Always made me LOL. Miss that guy.
My grandfather can't do much drinking anymore due to health issues, but when he did, most of his consumption focused on homemade wine and Johnny Walker Black. When he did drink beer it was Amstel and, later on, Smithwick's but he was always down to try anything and everything I popped open...he loved BCBS when I had him try some.
PBR and Old Style are his mainstays, but he will drink pretty much any BMC AAL. He thinks Boston Lager is too strong tasting...
I have a sweet serving tray from Beverwyck that someone grabbed me for my birthday last year... don't see much mention of it these days.
Piels red. Vile
Amstel Light

By Jeremy Parish Aug 23, 2007 12:51AM PSTTags: Macintosh
In the fine tradition of Revisiting
Trigger (which I will be continuing in a few weeks),
we're augmenting the next three weeks of Halo 3 coverage with a journey of
rediscovery through Bungie's previous first-person shooters. That
would be Halo, Halo 2 and, oh yes, the Marathon trilogy. (We'd toss
Pathways Into Darkness in there as well, but hell if we can find a
computer capable of running it anymore.) So! Let's begin with the
beginning of combat's evolution.
(P.S., don't miss our huge gallery of exclusive Halo 3 screens and our hands-on impressions of the fourth mission!)
"My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durandal."
The original Halo has a rather elaborate (and slightly sordid) history. The first word came in the form of some very veiled and cryptic emails to a fan site, Hamish Sinclair's Marathon's Story page. Old-school Bungie loved Sinclair and his affection for their narrative efforts, even going so far as to name a hidden map in Marathon: Infinity in his honor. So it may seem a little odd in retrospect that the earliest teasers for one of the most influential and popular series ever arrived in the form of the Cortana Letters -- but it totally made sense at the time.
Of course, the Halo they were teasing probably had little to do with today's Halo, since the original concept of the game was basically to be a StarCraft to Myth's Warcraft, a sci-fi RTS in which you commanded legions of armored Spartan warriors against the alien Covenant. Actually, Halo's core story hasn't changed all that much; some text from the Cortana Letters made it into last year's E3 trailer for Halo 3, and certainly you can find plenty of relevance in comments like:
As for this world -- I encounter new ghosts every day. What I have found will either save or destroy you. This sanctuary, this unbroken circle, has effectively concealed its power for how long? Perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. Whoever made such a place must now live in chains; there is no other explanation for their absence. This enemy -- YOUR enemy -- has proven more irritating than I anticipated.They own nothing which they have not stolen. I can barely make sense of their incessant rhetoric, except to know that you seem to be their Devil. Congratulations -- you manage to make friends wherever you go and, apparently, places you haven't.
The unbroken circle, a sanctuary? A foe fueled by religious zeal
whose culture is built on what they've assimilated from others? Yeah,
that's the Halo we know and love. But the game itself... well, it
changed quite a bit between its unveiling at MacWorld NYC 1999 and the
Xbox launch in October 2001. The squad-oriented elements of the game
gradually slipped away, and the focus of the adventure became a single
Spartan-II, an augmented supersoldier known only by rank, Master Chief
(well, Master Chief Petty Officer, but the whole title isn't
particularly punchy).
It's still possible to see elements of the original game concept in the finished product -- huge open spaces, seamless transitions between foot-based and vehicular combat, missions where your goal is to round up your comrades and make tactical strikes against the Covenant. It's easy to imagine sections like The Truth and Reconciliation and Assault on the Control Room playing out in RTS style... but then you start to imagine sections like The Library and you realize, hmm, maybe that's why they decided not to make Halo an RTS. 'Cause when you add the Flood, it pretty much becomes StarCraft: humans subsisting on sheer pluck, an alien legion possessing super technology, and a feral third race relying on brutality and sheer numbers. Yup. Imagine that first wave of Flood infection forms from an isometric perspective and what do you see? Zergling rush.
Of course, the flip side is that if you turn StarCraft into an FPS it becomes Halo, which could account for why Ghost never quite worked out. So it's all good.
What wasn't lost in the course of development was Halo's sense of scope and fluidity. That was what really wowed people at Macworld '99 -- not that another tactical game was coming (yawn), or that it was coming to Mac (they make Mac games?), but that it played out in these immense 3D spaces. That's probably what caught Microsoft's attention, too, and convinced them to wave a fat stack of million-dollar bills in Bungie's face if they'd make the transition from Mac-friendly computer developer to MS-owned console developer.
It was an epic betrayal, especially for those us who had been Mac-using Bungie loyalists for so long. I bought all their games! I followed Marathon's story! I followed the Cortana letters with religious fervor! How could Bungie go over to the enemy nooooooo
Whatever. I'm older and wiser now, or at least older and less stupid. Being owned by Microsoft has allowed Bungie to polish its games to a mirror finish -- and if you've ever played Oni, you know what can happen when their ambitions aren't given time to ripen and mature. Being owned by Microsoft has allowed Bungie to make Halo 3 almost certainly the most refined and feature-rich console FPS ever. Of course, being owned by Microsoft also brings with it the pressure to make sure each game is a colossal success, which means we may never see the raw, experimental side of Bungie in action again.
But so it goes. For better or for worse, Halo went through a blazillion revisions, a complete platform migration, and turned out to be one of the most important games of the decade. Next time, we'll look into the game itself to see why.

Still has faith on BungiePosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Acosta
Once they finish Halo, I am sure they will be allowed to go back a little to their experimental side to cook the next big thing, I am really excited for what they can achieve in the future, it would be really nice to see how they can develop their ideas once they have Halo behind and with all the resources they have now.
Having played Myth I have my doubts they would have finished with a Starcraft clone, in fact I think Halo would have more potential as a strategy game (but probably it wouldn�´t have been so successful sales wise).
Opinions aside, excellent post, as usual
Time to play Halo 1 & 2 again!Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by DjanGOH
One of the elements I love in Halo is rounding up scattered troops & having them man the warthog along side Master Chief. In Halo 2, I ended up having three warthogs racing side my side down the tunnels on level 2. I'm looking forward to being able to do something similar in the third.
Doubt it, AcostaPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by GMechMK2
It's sort of the situation that Epic is in now. Because these companies that make these awesome games, the publishers will not see fit with experimental stuff. Look at Square-Enix. Look at how whored out the Final Fantasy games are. The only way it would really work is if Bungie expanded and had a small team working on something else.
Right now, in our industry, the real experimental stuff are coming out from indie game developers. A lot of the developers making games are leaning towards two types, casual or hardcore/epic. But, I would love to see Bungie do something crazy. A Halo RPG? That would be funny and awesome to see.
Good retrospective, Jeremy.
An RTS seriously?Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by dustinXsays
Well I suppose it's best that they scrapped that idea because now they have possibly the best FPS, and with Halo Wars coming out an even sharper looking RTS.
Believe it or notPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Cheezer
I've started aking my way through Halo CE for the very first time a few weeks ago. I'm not much of an FPS player and I never bought an Xbox. I was able to borrow the console from a friend and I'm now making my way through the stuff I missed on Xbox that I really wanted to play.
So far, I can see what all the fuss is about with Halo, but it's still and FPS and I'm still not an FPS person.
There are still experimentation at big studiosPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Acosta
GMechMK2, I believe big studios can do creative and experimental things too, depending of their nature. Epic is different, because they are both a game studio and technology provider studio. Their expertise comes from shooters and that what they do, but that doesn�´t mean they don�´t innovate over their previous works, just check the different Unreal Tournaments and you will see there are important changes between them.
Bungie has more room than Epic because they have done RTS, FPS and melee action games. Whatever they do, they will have to develop something huge and spectacular, but once they are free from Halo legacy they could take any direction they want. And I am really sure if they do another RTS, it will be really different from any other game, just as they did with Myth.
Just a thoughtPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by qasimodo
"Microsoft has allowed Bungie to polish its games to a mirror finish -- and if you've ever played Oni, you know what can happen when their ambitions aren't given time to ripen and mature."
So what happened to halo 2, then? Was Microsoft on vacation and bungie decided to throw a party or something?
I just hope Halo 3's release date was decided by the "when it's done" mantra, and not by some crazy exec's biceps.
Other than that, excellent blog, Jeremy. I wish it had been a bit longer, though. Don't really feel like working today :P
Good piecePosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Jedeye_Sniv
I've just recently played through Halo 1 and 2 for the very first time in preparation for next month, and I really enjoyed them. I think they were quite ground-breaking for the time, although they're not the amazing games that they're made out to be, in the same way that if you weren't there when Goldeneye came out, it was nothing special.
And the flood are, IMO, one of the more interesting game design mistakes in such a popular franchise. Most everyone hates them, but Bungie keep foisting them on us (with energy weapons for the most part, in Halo 2! Insanity, shottie or nothing for them buggers). I would like if this series would talk about the development of the flood, and how bungie feels about the characters, and more importantly the gameplay behind them and what they bring (and detract) from the game.
Excellent Article!Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by SoloNerfherder
Looking forward to seeing more on Halo's past.
I keep forgetting Halo was originally going to be for the Mac. I didn't have a computer at the time, but now I'm a card-carrying Maccer, I can only the "betrayal" Mac owners must have felt when Microsoft tempted Bungie to the "Dark Side".(^_^)
Still, water under the bridge now, and I still look back on playing Halo for the first time on my Xbox that I'd gotten ebayed from the US to Japan ASAP as one of my fave gaming moments ever. I even like The Library!!!
I Love How...Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Halo_schmuck
...a game evolves so much and - in the case of Halo - turns out for the better. Dinosaurs? In Halo? I'm so glad that didn't happen. Then again, who knows how it might have affected the game as a whole...
Much as I would love to get Bungie's thoughts on the Flood...Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by jparish
...the reason these write-ups are going to be blogs rather than full-fledged 1UP features is because I haven't been able to talk to the developers. So you get my thoughts instead of theirs. So sorry!
personally i loved the FloodPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Vangerdahast
what a pain in the ass to fight the first time through, but the flood is relentless and less strategic varying the gameplay tremendously. I read all the books and love the mythos. from the first contact to discovering Halo and the Flood and the scattering of all the Spartans; attempting to include all of these elements is genius and the Flood is part of that. Hopefully in Halo Wars or Halo 3 my boy Kurt will be a part of it.
Pathways ...Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by themanlydeadguy
"We'd toss Pathways Into Darkness in there as well, but hell if we can find a computer capable of running it anymore.)" ..
While thats true it is available through emulation, and while its a bitch to get to work I've put together what I think is a simplified step by step walkthrough here. I hope this helps anyone looking to try out Pathways.
Yeah, going to play through 1 and 2 again.Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by Phil-osopher
1) to refresh my memory on the story, and 2) remind myself why I love the games so much.
re:Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by 95ss
For me personally, I never knew or heard of Bungie until I got my launch day XboX and played Halo co-op. Later discovering their Bungie.net site and finding a local host that still holds great LAN's to this day. For me it's all about the LAN multiplayer that keeps me hooked on Halo 1. I'm hoping Halo 3 doesn't disappoint me like Halo 2 did. We'll all find out in about a month.
halo 3 epicPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by halolov3rxray
halo 3 will forever live in all its glory. its an epidemic that never stops. thats all i can stay.
Brains...Posted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by muddyjunk
Hmm, I just replayed Halo 1 PC, and it brought back how much fun it was to fight the Flood. The shotgun rips through them like the space-zombies they are (disarming them is a larf, as is using the bloated ones to blow up their friends). I guess that's another remnant of the RTS system: each weapon has a practical distinction and usage. As much as I like Unreal, Epic could learn a thing from Bungie; having more weapons than number keys to bind them on is not ideal.
Betrayal = worth itPosted: Aug 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by captain_skippy
I'm sure as hell glad Microsoft bribed them into betraying Mac. Greatest transition in History.
Halo, a real time strategy?Posted: Aug 24, 2007 12:00AM PST by blueraven7
I can almost see the connection between Starcraft and Halo, but I can't imagine building a structure that makes lots of Spartans. I'd imagine that you can take control of a little less than 100 Spartans, who were specially trained for combat and who risked their life by taking some syringe. Maybe you can control USMC forces here and there, but that's all I can fathom. Then again, reading the Halo book series has probably tricked me into thinking this is a FPS with a lot of strategy elements behind it, not a RTS.
I'll leave the good RTS games to Blizzard though. Halo is the beacon of console FPS games for me, and Blizzard, my favorite RTS game developer. I hope they don't switch places.
Halo on Dreamcast....Posted: Aug 24, 2007 12:00AM PST by solidarsin
What happened to any talk of that? I remember when that was a preview...Who else has any info about that relic of a story?
Revisiting TriggerPosted: Aug 25, 2007 12:00AM PST by littlebadwolf
I had forgotten what that was about and for a moment thought it was going to be about MegaMan Trigger. Fortuantely, I wasn't disappointed once I was proven wrong. Needs more Servbots, though.
aesthetics are a moral imperative!Posted: Aug 26, 2007 12:00AM PST by ntotheb
why not revisit Oni or something like it, then? but using that wonderful microsoft backing to 'polish the game to a mirror finish'?
never played Oni. but if I'd made it and everyone hated it, I'd want a shot at redemption.
awsumPosted: Aug 26, 2007 12:00AM PST by brokenjoystiq
it just fills my gamer's heart to see such love for halo. we should totally revisit this franchise when it's 7 years old. ya know...or not.

Philographics on the Behance Network. An Intuitive Guide To Exponential Functions & e. E has always bothered me — not the letter, but the mathematical constant.
What does it really mean? The mathematical constant e is the base of the natural logarithm.

Adrian Peterson's 2012 season would be amazing even if it didn't take place less than a year after he tore his ACL. The MVP candidate ran for a career-high 2,097 yards on 348 carries in his sixth season with the Minnesota Vikings—a career-high 6.0 yards per attempt.
He finished with 12 rushing touchdowns for the fourth time in his career, extending his double-digit touchdown season count to six. He fumbled a little over one percent of his touches (four of 388 total) and lost fewer than one percent of them (two).
An 82-yard run against the St.Louis Rams gave Peterson the longest touchdown scamper of his career. His season was impressive even compared to his own exploits prior to the 2012 NFL league year—and they get even better when compared to his contemporaries at the running back position.
Stats compiled from ESPN.com, NFL.com and Pro-Football-Reference.com.

The deal that seemingly took forever, is now complete. Ilya Kovalchuk is now signed to be a New Jersey Devil for the next 15 years. It only took the National Hockey League and Players Association to change the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement to make it happen, but there's no need to relive the whole saga. Devils fans can celebrate knowing they will have Kovalchuk around to watch and admire his unique style of play.
However, now that Kovalchuk is in the fold, there is still a good amount of work left to do for General Manager Lou Lamoriello. The big question is, what what will the Devils do to get under the salary cap? After signing Kovalchuk to a deal that will cost the Devils $6,666,667 a season against the cap, what will the Devils need to do to shed the $3 - 4 million they need to (per Capgeek.com), to be under the cap for this season?
Let's take a look at some of the potential moves the Devils can look to make, and try to evaluate whether or not it is a realistic possibility.

Description of the Ethics for Court Interpreters Workshop
This is a comprehensive training on the Code of Ethics, meant to achieve the following:
- that interpreters carefully review and understand the contents of the code
- that they acquire insights into applying its standards effectively
- that the CIP and its interpreters collaborate in supporting the standards of practice
- The Code, taking the oath to heart
- Ethically challenging scenarios
- Group exercise
- Response analysis
- Certificate of Completion
In April 1996, Chief Justice E. Norman Veasey established Delaware's Certified Court Interpreter Program ("Program") under Administrative Directive No. 107 in recognition of the guiding principle that all persons should enjoy equal access to the Delaware justice system regardless of age, color, gender, national origin, physical or mental disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. The Program's goal is to provide language assistance and certified and qualified interpreters to the courts thus ensuring equal access to the judicial system for litigants with limited English proficiency or who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Delaware has since then made great strides and currently has strong policies and procedures in place to ensure language access to the judiciary. The existing and contemplated programs and policies of the Judicial Branch aimed at taking reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to all individuals in any encounters with the Delaware Judiciary regardless of their national origin or limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English are contained in the Delaware Judiciary Language Access Plan, (LAP).
The Court Interpreter Program
Since its inception, the Court Interpreter Program has continually developed in response to the sustained growth of the limited English proficient ("LEP") populations in Delaware and in keeping with the Judiciary's commitment to equal access to the courts.
The Court Interpreter Program is managed by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) under the direction of the Court Interpreter Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is comprised of 5 Delaware judges, a certified interpreter, and the Coordinator of the Court Interpreter Program. The Program is responsible for the development and implementation of policies and procedures on the use of interpreters in the Delaware courts; the interpreter services budget; the recruitment, testing, and certification of interpreter candidates and other general administrative duties.
Becoming an Interpreter
All candidates wishing to become certified or otherwise qualified must complete a qualification and registration process consisting, in short, of four steps: orientation seminar, written exam, criminal background check and oral exam. After certification and before inclusion in the Court Interpreter Registry, the candidate will enter into a service agreement with the AOC and sign an Oath to abide by the Code of Ethics for Professional Interpreters. In order to remain in the Registry interpreter must be in good standing and comply with all steps and requirements of the Program as outlined in the Court Interpreter Program Policy Directive.

CARLYLE, Ill. (AP) - A couple whose 3-year-old son was squeezed to death by the family's 7 1/2-foot python were acquitted by a judge Friday of child endangerment.
Judge Harold Pennock said prosecutors failed to prove Robert and Melissa Altom knew the snake was "practically certain" to endanger their son. The judge ruled a week into the trial, without hearing closing arguments.
The Altoms could have gotten 10 years in prison.
The couple's son, Jesse, was found dead on the floor of their mobile home Aug. 29. The snake killed the boy after the family had gone to sleep.
Prosecutors said the couple kept the snake in an inadequate cage - an aquarium whose homemade lid had a 2-inch gap - near where their son slept.
After the ruling, the Altoms flashed matching arm tattoos that depict a stack of blocks bearing the boy's initials, the dates of his birth and death and the inscription "In loving memory."
"I learned I'll never have another snake myself," Robert Altom said.

So Oprah is leaving her show in 2011 - the airwaves are abuzz with this news - who's next?
These are the Days of the Matriarchs in our Torah - more than the men who met their 'twilight' years (i.e. Abraham) with a Third Act that was slightly less fraught than the other two acts of their lives - our Patriarchs faced less of the Grim Reality than their wives (i.e. Sara, Rachel).
Thinking of Hollywood Matriarchs - I am impressed by many who semi retire like Sherry Lansing, after a full career as a producer and studio head - and use their money and power in philanthropic pursuits. Laura Ziskin (still actively producing the "Spiderman" series) is using her power and money to fight cancer. Both Jewish girls, these powerful women are worthy of our Torah female prototypes: they live in the world and use their accomplishments for the greater good.
Jewishly active CBS Entertainment Prez. Nina Tassler has just become the new head of the LA Federation's Entertainment Committee. Nina went to Israel this past summer to teach with the Federation - Tel Aviv U partnership along with former Fox head Gail Berman - two more modern Matriarchs.
Well known locally, these Jewish women don't have Oprah's profound wealth or fame - yet they are all worthy Matriarchs.

A Sunday night wreck sends to two people to the hospital after a car flips as the result of the crash.
Albany police say that a witness reported that Lexus driven by 64-year-old Freeta Venisee had the light to make a left turn and a Crown Victoria driven by 30-year-old Breton Nelson ran the red light.
Investigators say Nelson struck Venisee and the impact from the crash caused her car to flip.
Both Venisee and Nelson were taken to the hospital for treatment and Nelson was cited for a red light violation.

Natural Gas Futures Decline on Outlook for Inventories
Natural gas futures dropped in New York for the second time in three days on speculation that government data will show a bigger-than-normal stockpile increase for last week.
Gas slid 2.4 percent. An Energy Department report scheduled for release at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow in Washington may say inventories expanded by 67 billion cubic feet in the seven days ended Oct. 19 to 3.843 trillion, according to the median of 21 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The five-year average gain for the week is 65 billion.
"The expectations for a larger storage injection are putting downward pressure on prices," said Tom Saal, senior vice president of energy trading at INTL Hencorp Futures LLC in Miami. "There are indications that the market wants to continue to move lower."
Natural gas for November delivery fell 8.5 cents to settle at $3.45 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The futures are down 4.3 percent from a year ago. Gas advanced to $3.648 per million Btu on Oct. 22, the highest intraday price since Dec. 2.
February $5.50 calls were the most active gas options in electronic trading. They were 0.1 cent lower at 1.5 cents on volume of 1,090 contracts as of 2:49 p.m. Calls accounted for 55 percent of options volume.
Inventories may climb to a record 3.903 trillion cubic feet by Oct. 31, the Energy Department said Oct. 10 in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook.
2012 Output
U.S. natural gas production in 2012 will average 68.85 billion cubic feet a day, up 4 percent from last year and an all-time high, the department said.
Encana Corp., Canada's largest natural gas producer, said it began resuming production at shut-in wells in August and volumes are "now largely restored."
The company affirmed its 2012 production guidance of 3 billion cubic feet a day, according to a statement today. Encana had been curtailing output because of low prices.
The number of rigs drilling for natural gas in the U.S. rose by five to 427 last week, according to data released Oct. 19 by Baker Hughes Inc. in Houston. The rig count is down 47 percent this year.
The boom in oil and natural gas production helped the U.S. cut its reliance on imported fuel. America met 83 percent of its energy needs in the first six months of the year, department data show. If the trend goes on through 2012, it will be the highest level of self-sufficiency since 1991.
Mild Weather
MDA EarthSat Weather in Gaithersburg, Maryland, predicted mostly warmer-than-normal weather in the eastern U.S. through Oct. 28.
The low in New York on Oct. 26 may be 58 degrees Fahrenheit (14 Celsius), 11 above normal, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania. The low in Boston may be 50 degrees, 7 more than the usual reading.
Heating demand may be 11 percent below normal on Oct. 26, data from Weather Derivatives in Belton, Missouri, show. About 50 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating, according to the Energy Department.
A lack of Pacific Ocean warming and of blocking patterns in the Atlantic will probably mean warmer-than-normal weather in the eastern U.S. for the next three months, said Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist at Weather Services International.
Temperatures in the East may be about 2 degrees above normal from November through January, while the Northwest cools, according to a seasonal forecast Oct. 22 from the Andover, Massachusetts-based company.
Price Impact
Natural gas prices may "pause" in the absence of a cold winter, Arun Jayaram, an analyst at Credit Suisse AG in New York, said in a note to clients today.
Stronger-than-forecast production from the Haynesville shale formation, drilling efficiencies and a surge in output from the Marcellus reservoir may prevent price gains, Jayaram said.
Gas futures volume in electronic trading on the Nymex was 276,720 as of 2:45 p.m., compared with the three-month average of 394,000. Volume was 338,058 yesterday. Open interest was 1.2 million contracts. The three-month average is 1.12 million.
The exchange has a one-business-day delay in reporting full volume and open interest data.

I just watched the fight in slow motion, and Those left hands from Pacquiao appeared even harder and faster without Jim Lampley's excessive commentary.
Pacquiao is a beast. He can hit you with a sledge hammer at anytime from round 1 to round 12. You're always in danger.
Mayweather's never gonna fight him now. Bradley is even better conditioned than he was in his prime.

The brad fans who say brad won and then give the score of 116 114 are just trolling for the sake of it.
When people think Pac won its more like 119 111 scores. Bradley only says he won out of spite after readin boxing scene take the mickey out of him. He feels his hard work outside of the ring is being dissed.
Shame the hard work wasnt in the ring Bradley.

I went back in time in a DeLorean and watched the fight as it happened, in real time, ringside, with Jimi Hendrix to the right of me, Genghis Khan to the left of me. Both guys agreed Manny got jobbed.

Hello, Michael here.
I got a lot of interesting comments from my TechEd 2008 presentation entitled, "How To Review Your Code And Test For Security Bugs," but the most comments and questions were reserved for fuzz testing; I was blown away by the number of people who thought fuzz testing was hard, or that you only left fuzz testing to 'leet hackers.
During the presentation I mentioned in some depth how to perform fuzz testing, and what parts of an application should be fuzz testing targets. I also introduced an idea (that's not new) to help people who have never performed fuzz testing begin fuzz testing with very little cost and friction. The idea is to add a small layer of code to an application to automatically mutate untrusted data as it comes into an application; I called that code layer "a layer of hurt."
Before I continue, I want to point out that fuzzing is an SDL requirement, but the idea in this blog post is not an SDL requirement, it's just another way to help meet SDL fuzzing requirements.
Adding a layer of hurt, as shown in the picture below, is pretty simple as it involves adding code to an application to tweak data as it comes into an application. You can work out where to place the fuzzing code by looking at your threat models to see where data crosses trust boundaries. You could also simply grep the code looking for APIs that read data, for example:
- Read from files: fread, ReadFile
- Reading from sockets: recv, recvfrom
- For .NET code, any stream.Read
You get the picture.
The fuzzing code should appear right after the API that reads that data.
For example, C or C++ code that reads from a UDP socket and then fuzzes the data before it's consumed by the rest of the application might look like this:
char RecvBuf[1024];
int BufLen = sizeof(RecvBuf);
int result = recvfrom(
(SOCKADDR *)&SenderAddr,
#ifdef _FUZZ
Or, in C#, code that reads from an untrusted file:
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
uint len = (uint)(fileStream.Length);
byte[] fileData = new byte[fileStream.Length];
fileStream.Read(fileData, 0, (int)len);
#if _FUZZ_
Malform pain = new Malform();
fileData = pain.Fuzz(fileData);
In both code examples, Fuzz() mutates the incoming data. In the C++ case, the fuzzing code looks like this:
void Fuzz(_Inout_bytecap_(*pcbBuf) char *pBuf,
_Inout_ size_t *pcbBuf) {
if (!pcbBuf || !pBuf || !*pcbBuff || *pBuf) return;
if ((rand() % 100) > 5) return; // fuzz about 5% of Buffers
size_t cLoop = 1 + (rand() % 4);
for (size_t j = 0; j < cLoop; j++) {
size_t i=0,
iLow = rand() % *pcbBuf,
iHigh = 1+rand() % *pcbBuf,
iIter = 1+rand() % 8;
if (iLow > iHigh)
{size_t t=iHigh; iHigh=iLow; iLow=t;}
char ch=0;
switch(rand() % 9) {
case 0 : // reset upper bits
for (i=iLow; i < iHigh; i++)
pBuf[i] &= 0x7F;
case 1 : // set upper bits
for (i=iLow; i < iHigh; i++)
pBuf[i] |= 0x80;
case 2 : // toggle all bits
for (i=iLow; i < iHigh; i++)
pBuf[i] ^= 0xFF;
case 3 : // set to random chars
for (i=iLow; i < iHigh; i++)
pBuf[i] = (char)(rand() % 256);
case 4 : // set NULL chars to (possibly) non-NULL
for (i=iLow; i < iHigh; i++)
if (!pBuf[i])
pBuf[i] = (char)(rand() % 256);
case 5 : // swap adjacent bytes
for (i=iLow; i < __max(iHigh-1,iLow); i+= iIter)
{char t=pBuf[i]; pBuf[i] = pBuf[i+1]; pBuf[i+1]=t;}
case 6 : // set to random chars every n-bytes
for (i=iLow; i < __max(iHigh-1,iLow); i+= iIter)
pBuf[i] = (char)(rand()%256);
case 7 : // set bytes to one random char
ch=(char)(rand() % 256);
for (i=iLow; i < iHigh; i++)
pBuf[i] = ch;
default: // truncate stream
*pcbBuf = iHigh;
The sample C# and C++ fuzzing code is available as a ZIP file at the end of this post.
This code is an example of dumb-fuzzing, which is fuzzing with little or no regard for the data structure being manipulated. If you've never performed any kind of fuzz testing in the past, then you will probably find bugs with this simple fuzzing technique. Once you have weeded out the low-hanging bugs, you may need to turn your attention to smarter fuzzers. For example, in theory, this code would find few if any bugs in a PNG parser, because PNG files have a built in check-sum, so if you fuzz a PNG file, you'd have to recalculate the checksum to get decent code coverage.
When I showed this code during my presentation, I urged people to add it to their applications today if they currently don't do fuzz testing, and simply run their applications through their normal testing processes. Within three days of my presentation I received emails from people saying they had found bugs. I have no doubt others did too.
One of the comments I made during the session was,"If you can't spend the time on great fuzzing, fuzz anyway" and adding a "layer of hurt" is a reasonable start.
Please feel free to sound off if you have ideas to help improve the code and let us know what you think, either through email or comments to this post.

Bruce Highway gridlock follows truck rollover at Beerburrum on Sunshine Coast
- From: The Courier-Mail
- February 10, 2014
MOTORISTS should expect delays until 7.30pm after a large truck rollover on the Bruce Highway this afternoon.
The incident occurred about 3.30pm, 1km before the Beerburrum exit.
A man has been taken to the Nambour Hospital with serious injuries.
Early investigations suggest the truck driver may have been trying to brake to avoid a car braking in front.
Emergency crews remained on the scene and were in the process of moving the truck.Originally published as Truck rollover clogs highway

ATTORNEY Matt Wolfe dabbles in politics (he's a West Philly Republican ward leader who lives near Clark Park), and also dabbles in magic (card tricks are his specialty).
He'll need to conjure a royal flush to win Bill Green's vacated City Council seat in Tuesday's primary.
His Democratic opponent is Ed Neilson, whom Wolfe says was endorsed by the Democratic machine as a consolation prize after his state House district vanished in reapportionment. (There's also pro-pot Libertarian candidate Nikki Allen Poe, but his name didn't come up in conversation.)
Neilson later told me he was endorsed the same way as Wolfe, by a majority of ward leaders.

text: Judie Northridge, California 7/11/2015 6:32:44 AM I have a 9 week old Golden Retriever who as soon as she wakes up in the morning and is let outside returns immediately and then will bark excessively until she is fed. She is trained enough to sit quietly as soon as she sees me with her dish and wait until I put it down on the floor until I give her permission to eat but that period of time between relieving herself and sitting is ridiculous with consistent frantic barking out of excitement. She wakes up the whole house at 5:30 am with this and does not repeat this behavior at any other feelings. Any suggestions?
