How the Continuing Education Program Works
NCRA's Continuing Education Program is established and administered by the authority of the Council of the Academy of Professional Reporters (CAPR). The operation of this Council is mandated by the Bylaws of NCRA and its members are appointed by the NCRA Board of Directors. Any request for exemption from the policies outlined below must be addressed to CAPR.
Program Background
In 1975, the Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) program was initiated to raise the field of court reporting to a verifiably professional level. Earning Registered status through a process of rigorous testing and maintaining it through a comprehensive program of continuing education ensures that the designations represent a consistent level of proficiency, technological advancement, and all other traits of well-rounded professionals.
NCRA offers additional certifications for working reporters: the Registered Merit Reporter (RMR, formerly the Certificate of Merit); Registered Diplomate Reporter (RDR); and three realtime-related certifications, Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR), Certified Broadcast Captioner (CBC), and Certified CART Provider (CCP).
NCRA's CE program is based on continuing education units, or CEUs. This is a widely recognized system of measuring adult learning. Registered members may now choose from a variety of learning opportunities including commercial seminars, many of which already incorporate the CEU measurement system.
Program Objectives
The goal of continuing education for court reporters is to equip our members with the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a world of ever-changing information and technology. A uniformly applied continuing education program ensures that the reporter-using public will find a consistent quality of proficiency and knowledge among our Registered members. The field of court reporting demands that its practitioners acquire and maintain a broad base of knowledge. The body of knowledge in the world changes approximately every seven years. In this spiraling explosion of information, court reporters must keep up, or face being left behind. The obvious benefits of continuing education are learning new skills, keeping up with technological advances, and developing new areas of expertise. However, the hidden benefits may be even more valuable--keeping the mind open to new ideas, honing the skills of learning and developing as a well-rounded professional.
The stated educational mission of NCRA is to:
- Provide certification programs to ensure the competency of realtime reporters, captioners, Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) providers and realtime educators.
- Provide continuing education for its members and all realtime reporters, captioners, CART providers and realtime educators.
- Promote higher education, academic and technical skills to students of realtime reporting, captioning and CART.
- Promulgate standards for realtime reporting and captioning educational programs and approved realtime reporting/captioning programs meeting those standards.
- Provide programs that strengthen and ensure the professional competence of its members.
- Provide programs to stimulate personal and professional career development.
- Provide an open registration policy for all available educational programs.
NCRA's New Continuing Education Requirements Announced
Educational institutions, certification boards, and government bodies place a high value on the legitimacy that is inherent in holding oneself to scrutiny and validation by an independent and objective national accrediting body, and the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET) is the national organization that accredits NCRA's continuing education program. ACCET has specific requirements for what is eligible to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). CEUs will remain a central element in NCRA's continuing education approach.
On October 1, 2011, NCRA adopted a system that recognizes both formal instructional activities (ACCET-approved CEUs) and other informal professional development activities (Professional Development Credits (PDCs)).
There are many development activities that enrich our professional lives, educate our clients, improve our writing skills, and assist our future professionals. Your transcript will differentiate between activities that qualify for formal ACCET-accredited CEUs and the informal instructional Professional Development Credits (PDCs) activities.
Note: Check your state requirements to see if these professional development activities are eligible for the credits needed to maintain your state certification.
Examples of ACCET-approved CEUs include:
1. State and national convention seminars
2. NCRA's e-seminars
3. NCRA's teletrainings
4. College courses
5. Eligible distance learning offerings (contact Sandra Bryant to verify eligibility)
6. Vendor software training
You will earn Professional Development Credits while performing these worthy activities:
Promoting the Profession to External Audiences - Examples of events that would satisfy this requirement include presentations at court reporting schools (as a guest speaker or career day participant), law schools, and judges' associations. If a question arises as to whether an event qualifies, CAPR will review the request for approval. Members seeking Professional Development Credits must submit an outline or agenda of their presentation, accompanied by either a signed NCRA submission form or letter signed by a representative of the host event.
Providing pro Bono Services (Judicial, CART, Captioning) - Pro Bono Services are defined by the Council of the Academy of Professional Reporters (CAPR) as "providing court reporting, realtime, CART, or captioning services for which compensation in any form was not rendered." In practice, this can include any variety of services, such as providing CART services for a deaf consumer at a meeting or church service or taking depositions for litigants who could not afford reporting services.
Specifically, .25 credits will be awarded for a minimum of 2.5 hours of pro bono service, of which 30 minutes can be the preparation involved. Services for two one-hour events plus 30 minutes of preparation, for example, can be combined for one submission. The preparation time will be accounted for on the honor system. Members will submit an NCRA form along with the $40 processing fee when requesting the credits. The form must be signed by either the deaf consumer or the host of the event for which the pro bono services were performed.
Service on an NCRA, NCRF, or affiliate board or committee - Members will receive .25 Professional Development Credits per year of service on an NCRA, NCRF, or state court reporting association board or committee. Service on a board or committee of the United States Court Reporting Association (USCRA) also qualifies for this category. Members will submit an NCRA form along with the $40 processing fee when requesting the credits, and the year of service must be completed prior to submission (with the exception of this first year, in which the service must be completed after October 1, 2011). A cross check with NCRA or NCRF board and committee rosters will provide sufficient documentation for the national service. For affiliate service and USCRA service, the state and USCRA boards will be required to maintain those records and verify a member's service with a signature from the state or USCRA board president.
Involvement in a Formal Mentoring Program - To qualify for Professional Development Credits, mentoring must take place with students enrolled in a school. A minimum of five (5) hours will be required for earning the .25 credits, and those hours can either be divided up among multiple students or can all be spent with the same student. A mentor may submit the same student up to two times per cycle (for a total of 10 hours and 0.5 credits), if they have an extended relationship.
Reporters who host students completing their internships will also be entitled to earn credits. Internship reporters are assigned by the school the students are attending, and the students typically fill out logs of time spent. To earn Professional Development Credits, the reporter will also be required to fill out NCRA's mentor form and can then submit a copy of the internship log at the end of the internship period.
Mentoring relationships must be completed during the member's three-year cycle.
Serving as Lead Chief Examiner at NCRA testing sites - Members will receive .25 Professional Development Credits for spending a year serving as an NCRA Lead Chief Examiner. Members will submit an NCRA form along with the $40 processing fee when requesting the credits, and documentation will be verified with a cross check of NCRA's master roster of chief examiners' names.
In order to serve as an NCRA Chief Examiner, you must be a member of NCRA in good standing and preferably hold an NCRA credential. Additional requirements include the ability to maintain strict confidentiality and security, adherence to NCRA policies and procedures, and administration of the exams at a suitable testing facility.
Passing the new Association 101 Manual Exam (following national or state affiliate board service) – NCRA currently offers book and article tests, and members will earn Professional Development Credits for successfully passing – or writing – a qualifying book or article test under the new continuing education requirements (earning .25 credits per submission after October 1). But the Association 101 exam will be a new offering beginning in October. Following a year of state or national board service, members may download the Association 101 manual from NCRA's website, study it, and then take a 50-question, open-book exam using the manual as the reference. The grading and processing fee to download the test (and to record the credits, if you pass the exam) is $25. A passing grade is 80% or 10 incorrect answers, and you will be notified of the pass/fail after the exam has been graded. A member may only earn credits for the Association 101 exam once in his or her lifetime, but you may take it once per year until you have passed.
Oral History Transcription
Currently, only Veterans History Project transcripts earn credits. Starting October 1, this category will be expanded to include transcription of any oral histories that the National Court Reporters Foundation offers. Continue to participate in capturing important moments in American history by giving of your time and talents. Members will receive .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for each eligible transcription completed (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits).
Seminar Presenting and Training
Members will earn .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for one to four (1-4) hours of presenting (a minimum of 60 minutes of instruction) and will earn 0.5 PDCs for four hours or more in a day, such as teaching a full-day workshop (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits). Credits are not eligible for seminar presenting and training that takes place as part of a member's primary business, for commercial purposes.
Extra Credit for Teletraining Tests
Teletraining seminars will now offer options. You can choose to participate in just the 90-minute listening portion of the seminar and earn .15 formal, ACCET-approved CEUs for the new lower price of $99 for members. Or you can choose to participate in both the 90-minute listening portion and take the exam afterwards and earn .15 CEUs plus .25 Professional Development Credits for the current price of $134 for members (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits).
Competing in Speed or Realtime Contests
As is currently the case, all speed contests must be at or above the level of RMR speeds in order to qualify, and all realtime contests must be at or above the level of the CRR speeds. Starting on October 1, 2011, each leg of an NCRA speed contest or state speed contest will earn .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs). And participation in an NCRA realtime contest or a state realtime contest will earn .25 PDCs. Credit for any realtime contest will be awarded only once per three-year cycle (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits).
Members who pass the skills test or the Written Knowledge Test (WKT) portion of the RMR, RDR, CRR, CLVS (if already an RPR), CCP (if an RPR), or CBC (if an RPR) will earn .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits).
Formal Supervised Dictation Practice
For every two and a half contact hours of formal supervised dictation practice, members will earn .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits).
Logged Time on Realtime Coach
For every two and a half logged hours on Realtime Coach, members will earn .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) (maximum of 1.0 credit from all non-CEU credits). If you choose to satisfy your allowable maximum of 1.0 PDC with 10 hours of logged time on Realtime Coach, you may submit the entire 10 hours on one form along with your $40 processing fee.
Book or Article Tests
Members will earn .25 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for taking and passing a Journal of Court Reporting (JCR) article test, for reading a book on CAPR's approved book list and passing the test for it, or for passing either the Part I or the Part II test for the book Grammar for Court Reporters. Each test may be taken only once per lifetime for credit in each of these book and article offerings.
Activities Not Eligible for Professional Development Credits:
- Community service unrelated to the profession of court reporting (e.g.; volunteer social work)
- Any professional service or function for which one receives remuneration as part of one's regular employment
- Donations or sponsorships
College Credits for RPR and RMR
In 2009, NCRA discontinued its status with the American Council on Education (ACE). If you earned your RPR and/or RMR between November 1990 and February 2009, you can still get college credit. Please see the following questions and answers for more information.
Q. Can I get college credit for my RPR certification?
A. If you earned your RPR certification between the dates of 1/1/1978 – 5/31/2009, you are eligible to submit your RPR date for verification.
Q. Can I get college credit for my RMR certification?
A. If you earned your RMR certification between the dates of 11/1/1990 – 2/28/2009, you are eligible to submit your RMR date for verification.
Carryover CEUs
Members may carry over 0.5 credits into their next three-year cycle. The credits may either be in formal CEUs or in qualifying Professional Development Credits.
The excess credits carried over must be earned in the last six months of your cycle (on or after April 1 of the final year of your cycle).
If your cycle ends September 30, 2011, up to 0.5 extra credits you have earned since April 1, 2011, may be carried over.
Credential holders are encouraged to obtain their CEUs by September 30th; however, if an extension is needed, please fill out the CEU Extension Request Form to request a four-month extension. Members requesting an extension must pay a $95 processing fee.
Loss of Certification Appeal
You will lose your NCRA certification(s) if you do not obtain all the required CEUs and maintain your NCRA membership. If this happens, you may appeal to the Council of the Academy of Professional Reporters (CAPR) for reinstatement of your certification. Appeals must be in writing and follow the appeal guidelines. Appeal requests should be addressed to CAPR, and sent to NCRA headquarters (8224 Old Courthouse Road, Vienna, VA 22182-3808). CAPR meets monthly to review appeals. You will be notified of the outcome of your appeal in writing shortly after their meeting.
Program accreditation and complaint procedure
NCRA's Continuing Education Program is nationally recognized and accredited by the American Council on Continuing Education and Training (ACCET). It is the mutual goal of ACCET and NCRA institution to ensure that educational training programs provided by NCRA are of the highest possible quality and conform to industry standards and best practices. If problems arise, program participants are encouraged to contact NCRA at 800-272-NCRA (6272) or email@example.com. In most cases, a satisfactory resolution can be reached via NCRA's internal complaint procedures. In the event that a participant feels that NCRA has failed to comply with ACCET's Standards and/or policies, that participant has the right to file a complaint directly with ACCET. Information about how to file a compaint is contained in ACCET Document 49.1. Note that ACCET will process complaints which involve ACCET standards and policies and, therefore, are within the scope of the accrediting agency.

This past Wednesday, May 2, University of Minnesota President Eric W. Kaler hosted Chancellor Nancy Cantor in a special discussion of the role of the 21st-century university in meeting urban challenges at a Great Conversations presidential forum on the Twin Cities campus.
"Public Mission, Urban Challenges: The 21st-Century University" is part of UMN Land Grant 150, a yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Morrill Act of 1862 legislation that laid the groundwork for the land-grant research university's ongoing mission of learning, discovery and engagement for the common good.
Cantor and Kaler discussed the role of universities as anchor institutions in their communities, and how universities can step up to the challenges of a markedly more urban, global and interdisciplinary age.

By Deuce Niven Correspondent
RALEIGH - A farmer from Tabor City admitted guilt Tuesday in a financial scheme designed to avoid federal reporting requirements.
Patrick Rex Lovett, 48, president of Lovett Farms, entered the plea to a charge of structuring transactions to evade reporting requirements before U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever III, U.S. Attorney Thomas G. Walker said in a news release.
Federal law requires reporting currency transactions greater than $10,000, Walker said.
Lovett, the news release said, admitted to structuring transactions that totaled more than $160,000 during the course of nearly a year, from Oct. 8, 2008 through Sept. 14, 2009. Lovett, the release said, cashed 22 checks, all less than $10,000, and some tied to tobacco sales.
Lovett could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison, the release said, followed by three years of supervised release and a fine of $500,000. Sentencing is scheduled during the May 20 term of court.
Walker said the case is part of an ongoing investigation involving multimillion-dollar crop insurance fraud in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General and Risk Management Agency, and the Internal Revenue Service.

Intellectual Property Law in Korea provides this knowledge in considerable depth. Five Korean practitioners spare no pains to clarify all the essential details of practice and procedure in the major areas of intellectual property law in their country. For example, they include specific guidance on such matters as the following:
The author's approach throughout is eminently practical, although legal rationales and underpinnings are fully explained when necessary. If a particular area of law has been significantly affected by a judicial decision (as in the important trade mark cases Chanel and Pfizer), the chapter covering that area provides a full and clear analysis. An appendix supplies the full texts of the major Korean laws in the field in force as of 2002. As one of the world¿s leaders in the design and manufacture of semiconductor chips and other computer hardware and software, Korea accommodates a great number of intellectual property applications and registrations. Its intellectual property rights system is sound and well established, and offers excellent protection to those who come to it prepared. This book is an effective and substantial means to that end.

I've landed on the moon.
Hey guys,
Thanks for being so patient with me these last few weeks. I know I went on a hiatus, but it was much needed. Things are starting to look up for my health and my work so soon we should be 100% back to good stuff.
In the meantime I'd like to catch you up on a couple of my out of town trips.
I mentioned that I was going to San Francisco in my last post, well I came home with a whole lot of pictures and new experiences. Travis and Jane took real good care of me and I am so so thankful for all the kindness.
Then I came home for a brief 2 days and flew back to to WI to attend the Dark Songs Festival and play an in house concert at the Holiday Music Motel.
After missing my flight, forgetting my wallet, getting searched, and flying standby into Chicago unable to board the plane to Green Bay, and being transported half way to Green Bay by a kind man named Steve Smith, I finally made it to Sturgeon Bay WI around 1am missing the concert. We rescheduled for the following night, and it was fantastic.
Dark Songs commenced that Sunday. I must have written over 15 songs. It was absolutely exhilarating and I really really needed that. I spend most of my days with Charlie Cheney (www.charliecheney.com) and Noah Engh (www.thekidfantastic.com). We wrote many of the songs together and just had an all around incredible week. It felt like summer camp.
So overall, i came home feeling better with a suitcase full of good memories. Thank you Pat Macdonald (www.patmacmusic.com) and Melanie Jjane (www.melaniejane.com) for getting me up to Sturgeon Bay.
Now, we should be getting back to the normal swing of things. I will start blogging regularly. Also I will be doing some video blogging in the near future here once I figure out how to run everything.
Our calendar is pretty much filled for the rest of the year, so please please please hop over to the tour page and see where we'll be playing and come out.
I just finished work on yet another EP which I will be releasing Nov 20th @ The Local 662 in St Petersburg FL. It will be another hand made, limited edition print, but this time around I will make it available for you guys out of state to order online and Ill ship it to you.
So to recap, Im back for good! And the new EP comes out NOVEMBER 20th! Again, lots of new songs and new artwork.
I cant really tell you guys how much it means to know you're still out there keeping me in mind. Its always a pretty scary thing to take a break, because you don't know if when you come back there will be anyone left to care. It feels good to know thats not the case.
Coming up soon I will be taking on a lot of new ventures but thats for another day and another blog.
Love you, stay warm.

All good cryptid stories come to an end and so it goes with the chupacabra video. Although it is difficult to make a definitive identification from the tape, biologist Scott Henke of Texas A&M University-Kingsville says: "It's a dog for sure."
Since coyotes run a little more gracefully, it's likely to be a bull mastiff or pit bull, or perhaps just a mutt. "Dogs just roaming and being stray is quite a problem in southern Texas," Henke says. "The probability of it being a mixed breed dog is higher than anything else."
He notes that the original chupacabra findings—headless goats with drained blood—turned out to be the work of a Mexican cult. And the chupacabra's other hallmark—not eating the livestock it kills—is also a feral dog favorite. "Feral dogs are much more of a problem than coyotes for losing livestock like goats," he says. "Especially if the animal is killed and the throat's bit. A coyote will eat the meat too, if they're going to go to the effort to kill it. If they're just torn up, it's most likely a feral dog."
Aug 13, 2008 | 66
Traveling all the way from its point of origin in Puerto Rico, the chupacabra (literally "goat sucker") has now popped up in the Texas town of Cuero. Or it allegedly has. Even better, sheriff's deputy (in training no less) Brandon Reidel caught the supposed chupacabra on tape.
The animal appears to have a long snout and forelegs slightly shorter than the hind legs, the textbook, or rather folkloric, description of the animal that likes to attack livestock, particularly goats, and drink their blood. Short-haired (rather than hairless like the classic chupacabra) the dread beast looks like a small dog, or perhaps a coyote crossed with a small dog such as a pit bull.
Or it could just be a coyote. After all, that's what the last chupacabra sighting in Texas turned out to be: coyotes suffering from a bad case of mange. Either way, the truth is out there.

Adams 2013 Idea Super LS XTD Hybrid
Starting at: $299.95
There are many reasons Adams hybrids have been the #1 hybrid played on the PGA Tour since 2008. The #1 reason is incredible performance. The #2 reason is that they're easier to hit than any of the others. Pros like easy to hit stuff, you'll like it too. We added the bells and whistles on the Super LS Hybrid so that you can adjust it to your specs, hit it low, hit it high, bend it around the corner. Whatever shot you need, this delivers. In the development of VST over the years, engineers have found that it is the sole slot that has the most impact on ball speeds, and the SUPER LS Hybrid features a next generation sole slot for a level of hotness near the USGA limits. The new sole slot has increased CT in the Idea SUPER LS Hybrid up to 250. This equates to an incredibly hot face for higher ball speeds and more distance. The new crown slot improves deflection across the entire face to increase launch angle without creating any additional spin. Learn More -

Adams 2013 Idea Super S Hybrid
Starting at: $149.95
You may not play on Tour, but you'll feel like it with the #1 Hybrid on Tour. The Idea SUPER S Hybrid will be your go-to club. It gets it done. Those long Par 3s? You can stick it close now. Long iron shots are fun again with the SUPER S Hybrid. The SUPER S Hybrids has a new sole slot featuring Cut-Thru Slot Technology, which really ramps up the ball speed. This new sole slot increases the Characteristic Time (CT) up to 230 making it an ultra-hot stainless steel clubface. The SUPER S Hybrid has a redesigned crown slot that is thinner, deeper and longer that provides a new level of performance. Getting the ball in the air is easy from any lie. The ease of hitting high and straight shots makes going for the green an easy decision on those long par-4's and par-5's. Learn More -
Model# AD17530
Adams Idea Tech V4 Hybrids
Starting at: $199.95
The Idea Tech V4 Hybrids are the most technically advanced, easiest-to-hit hybrids that Adams has ever engineered. The advancements of velocity slots, now featuring Cut-Thru Technology, achieves the same CT of a driver, which delivers higher ball speeds, more forgiveness and more distance. With innovation like this, the Idea Tech V4 Hybrid is as hot as your driver. With continuous refinements being made in club design, and specifically for hybrid design, the technology has evolved quickly, and never more apparent than with the Idea Tech V4 hybrids. This new design has Velocity Slots in the crown and sole of the club, and also features a channel that is literally cut through the head of the club from the top slot to the bottom allowing for even more face deflection. It was important to seal the slots in order to be compliant with USGA regulations, so the Idea Tech V4 hybrids feature a TPU insert which also improves the feel and give the hybrids a very crisp sound similar to that of an iron.

Den is from the Scots word meaning wooded glen and this area features many walks of varying length through mixed open woodland, along the Alyth Burn. Many of the paths are suitable for wheelchair users and buggies.
A designed Site of Specific Scientific Interest, the Den of Alyth is notable for being naturally seeded and directly descended from the original deciduous woodland that once covered great swathes of lowland Scotland.
A variety of wildlife is regularly spotted among the oak, ash and birch trees, including tree creepers and great tits, while dippers and grey wagtails live by the waterside.
Three car parks are spread out across the glen and a picnic area and small playground is available at the southern end.

Steve McIntosh on "Evolutionary Enlightenment"
by Tom HustonIntegral philosopher Steve McIntosh weighs in on EnlightenNext founder Andrew Cohen's new book, Evolutionary Enlightenment: A New Path to Spiritual Awakening…
Andrew Cohen's important new book, Evolutionary Enlightenment, demonstrates spiritual evolution on every page. Rooted in the venerable soil of Eastern nondual teachings, while simultaneously expressing an emerging new form of evolutionary spirituality, Cohen's insights provide rich nourishment for the discerning seeker. Evolutionary Enlightenment clarifies what it means to transcend one's ego and sheds new light on the true nature of the self. Moreover, this deep yet accessible book effectively integrates the science of evolution and the new integral philosophy of development into a livable form of spirituality that will transform all who practice it.
Even though my personal spirituality is rooted more in the Western theistic tradition than the Eastern nondual tradition, I nevertheless find Cohen's teachings to be compatible with my own sense of spiritual truth. And I am especially grateful for his discussion of cultural evolution in Part IV of the book, with its emphasis on using our spirituality to catalyze the emergence of a higher form of civilization. Cohen himself has evolved considerably since his last book was published ten years ago, and his current teachings now reflect the leading edge of spiritual evolution in our society. Evolutionary Enlightenment is a modern-day masterpiece—a splendid contribution to the new field of evolutionary spirituality.
—Steve McIntosh, author of Evolution's Purpose, and Integral Consciousness

Duelling knives in the Irish records kitchen. In the background is the Bank of Ireland building. |
With the Irish government still "in talks" to create a National Genealogy and Family History Centre, possibly in the Bank of Ireland Building, one has to wonder if the creation of such a centre ever does come to pass, will it make any difference as far as the custody of records, and our access to them? One thing which makes me absolutely boiling mad about politicians is that they seem to be able to 'talk' about issues for years on end. Meaningful action comes about at a snail's pace, and in some cases, even the snail is way out in front.
To state the obvious:
The goal: the goal of the Irish government with respect to family history and genealogy research is to increase tourism.
The hook: Give researchers outside of Ireland just enough access to get them started, and ultimately they will go to Ireland in order to complete the picture.
The Irish government should not be faulted for this strategy; after all, one of the jobs of any government is to draw money into their respective country.
The fact is that in Ireland there are too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to family records, and everyone wants their piece of the pie. Someone in the Irish government needs to step up to the plate, say enough is enough, and impose unification on this system of disparate record holders. By doing so they might stop frustrating the hell out of researchers outside of the country, and perhaps end up with a one stop shop.
While the government should not be faulted for trying to build tourism, they should be faulted for allowing this madness to continue. Here are just a few of the matters currently making me mad.
1. Online frustration:
In addition to the fact that we now have to pay to view the index of search hits, (yes, a minimal payment, but it's the principal of the thing), when we deal with the Irish Family History Foundation, IFHF, we do so under the threat of being bounced from the site, and subject to legal action, if we don't follow their ever evolving 'terms and conditions' to the letter.
How is it that the government, as well as various organizations in Ireland, such as the Catholic Church, and The Representative Body of the Church of Ireland, have allowed the IFHF to claim that they have not only have ownership, but also copyright, on church records, Griffith's Valuation, and Census Records? When did the County Centre Overlords take over the island, and why have they been allowed to do so?
In addition to the rules about use of the information held on the site, we have to trust that the transcribers got it right when they transcribed the records, because we are not allowed to see the originals. Why is this the case?
News flash: sometimes transcribers make mistakes. I have written to both the IFHF and irishgenealogy.ie to ask for corrections on transcribed records which I know to be incorrect, because I have seen the originals. Why are originals available to view on a free government website, but not on this paid site?
2. More online frustration:
Why does the irishgenealogy.ie website imply they have parish records for all of Dublin City when they don't? In their update, the site specifically states, "The remaining Roman Catholic records of Dublin City...have now been added to the website". (see http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/about/aboutprogress.html)
Oh really? The remaining records of Dublin City have been added? Why then, just four weeks ago, did I have to pay a €10 fee plus €5 each for records from St. James Roman Catholic Church in Dublin, in order to have a couple of baptismal records pulled?
If the remaining Dublin City records are on the Irish Genealogy website, then why are those records not on the site? The answer: 'Remaining' doesn't mean the rest of the total parish records in Dublin City. In this case 'remaining' only means the rest of the group of records they planned to post, not the total records of Dublin City.
In the case of St. James Church, the site claims to have posted their records from 1737 to 1890. The records I requested are from 1888, 1889 and 1893, so I should have been able to find the first two out of the three. All three records exist, but the two within the time period are not on the site.
I have no problem paying for records, but don't try to snow me. Just give me the straight goods about what is actually available.
3. With respect to a National Genealogy and Family History Centre:
Why are they still "in talks" over the Bank of Ireland building becoming a heritage site? When the bank received their bailout from the Irish government, which now owns 36% of the bank, it was implied by Minister Deenihan that the building would be given to the Irish people. Why hasn't it been handed over? Did Mr. Deenihan put the cart before the horse? According to an Irish Times article in May of 2011, the Bank of Ireland wasn't onboard with the idea, although as late as January of 2012 Mr. Deenihan still seemed to think it will happen. He stated, "I met the chair and chief executive of the Bank of Ireland and had a constructive engagement on the issues. That positive dialogue is continuing with the Bank of Ireland". (see Oireachtas website: Dáil debates)
4. Heritage Centres or Heritage Overlords?
Dealing with the individual County Heritage Centres is another frustrating matter, whether you are outside of Ireland, or in the country. Although I have never laid out a dime in any of these centres, I know many people, both offshore and in Ireland, who have spent A LOT of money trying to find ancestors via the research services offered by the centres. One of the biggest frustrations on this score is that some centres hold records which cannot be viewed elsewhere.
My question: Why do they behave as though the records are a big secret which must be hidden from view, and are for their eyes only?
Like Golem with the Ring, 'my precious', in The Lord of The Rings, they hide records and databases away from public view. They do the research, and we have no idea if they even have good research skills.
An experienced family history researcher emailed me to say that she had gone to a Heritage centre, and was surprised to find she could not do her own research. She filled out the requisite form, paid the €75 fee, and then watched as the researcher pulled a couple of volumes and went upstairs to another room, where he allegedly conducted the research sight unseen. Although she did not share the end result with me, the woman indicated that she came away with much less than she had expected.
Was the Heritage Centre staff member afraid she might look over his shoulder, catch a glimpse of a record, and then run out into the street shouting to non-paying customers, "He was born in 1796! He was born in 1796! Woo Hoo!"?
When I contacted a Heritage centre in County Mayo to ask why I could not do my own research there, I was told "members of the public" don't have good research skills, so the centres are there to help by doing the research for us. Really?
There are lots of so-called members of the public who have spent many years conducting research in every kind of library, repository, and archive you can imagine, but as members of the public, apparently we don't have good research skills. In my own experience, I have not only conducted research for years, but when I was in graduate school I was required to take a course in which the entire syllabus was on conducting research in libraries, repositories and archives. I just love it when people make assumptions about members of the public.
Why not charge a fee, even a hefty one, and give people with research skills the opportunity to do their own research. Even those people with little or no skills could be afforded the opportunity. They could pay the fee, and the Heritage Centre Overlords could offer guidance. If there are limitations in terms of availability of computers which hold databases, then at least allow the person requesting the information to sit alongside and engage with the researcher to see what is being done.
In Conclusion
I fully recognize that it is not easy to get everything straightened out. I also recognize that because of the way the world works most of this is driven by the almighty dollar, or Euro in this case; however, there is such intransigence at work in some of these sectors, it seems as though some people in Ireland want to keep the past all to themselves.
I am an Irish Citizen. The blood of my family was spilled in the fight to free Ireland from British rule, yet because I now live in the so-called Diaspora, as a researcher I am subject to the intimidation of various 'terms and conditions', treated as though I am stupid, and generally disrespected, when all I want to do is uncover my family history.
Article 45, Section 3, Part 2 - Bunreacht na hÉireann, The Constitution of Ireland, states:
"The State shall endeavour to secure that private enterprise shall be so conducted as to ensure reasonable efficiency in the production and distribution of goods and as to protect the public against unjust exploitation."
So I have to ask what the heck is going on here?
I am deeply grateful for the National Library of Ireland, and for the National Archives of Ireland, with their respective initiatives in the areas of family history and genealogy. In particular, Catriona Crowe of the NAI should be given a gold medal or a bag of money for the work she does. However, with respect to the above mentioned issues, numbers one through four, someone is seriously falling short.
Here's an idea: why not appoint a Czar, or to keep it all Irish, a Taoiseach (Chieftain) of Irish family history and genealogy. Such an individual, preferably not a politician, would be entirely and only responsible for bringing together the disparate groups currently controlling Irish records.
Sound crazy?
Well just think about the fact that 70 million people worldwide claim Irish heritage, and think about the money in the pockets of those 70 million. Want to increase the Irish coffers, then try building some good will by solving these problems, not just talking about them.

"Staff not prepared and very unprofessional"
Bad.....i was given right address wrong directions. Upon arrival to correct hotel,front desk said we were not registered there and sent us to other Extended Stay in area about 5 miles away. Only to later find that we were in fact registered at other hotel. Long story-short,went back to original hotel where reservations were and guy at front desk apologetic […] but still very out of sorts/not together at all.Too much trouble for the amount we paid for 1 night stay that took 2 hours of my evening to finally get it right and settled.

"Ok for the price. Close to the Palace"
I stay here during the week sometimes for work because of the kitchenett. Negatives: No fan in the bathroom and it is right next to the stove top where you would cook. When cooking it did not take much to set off the smoke alarm. No fan over the stove. No way to circulate the air. No dish soap or paper towels. You have to ask at the desk for dish soap […] and it doesn't work well. (Would suggest bringing your own for extended stays). No oven and kitchen ware is limited and pans not good to cook in. Food sticks. Positives: Its close to where I work. The bed is comfortable and WFI works well. Staff was very friendly and pleasant. Overall not bad for the price but could use some upgrades.

"Great place to stay at"
It was a great place to stay at and I would stay there again. Only problem was that it smelled a little weird. Nothing unbearable though.Geverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling
"Not so great...."
Good thing it was only one night......bed was very uncomfortable. The room was not clean as I've seen dust and old stains all over the room.Geverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
"Never again"
While the hotel looks good from the outside the state of the room I was in (141) was not the "deluxe suite". I had thought it would be. The room itself was clean enough, but everything in this room is hard. Bed: rock hard and stiff as a board of wood. Couch: stiff and lacking of cushioning. Chairs: hard as wood. Towels: in desperate need of some softening. […] Showerhead: laughable at best and stuck at one setting, also only flops to one position pointing straight down. For looking so new on the outside, everything in the room looks dated and from the 1970s. I would recommend a truck stop and sleeping in your car over this hotel. Guest service is non-existent after a certain time at night requiring guests checking out late at night to "leave the room keys on the counter". The hotel is in a great spot, sadly it's dated style and lack of decent...well anything make it one of the worst hotels I've been at in a long time. The staff was good and nice which was the only redeeming thing I could say about the hotel. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling
Antwoord van Extended Stay America - Detroit - Auburn Hills-University Dr I recently received a copy of your review, and wanted to take a moment to respond. Our company prides itself on excellent guest service, so it was gratifying to read your feedback about our staff. I would like to give you my most heartfelt apology regarding the part of your stay that was not satisfactory. Given how hard we work to provide our guests with outstanding accommodations, I was troubled to read your remarks about the bed in your suite, along with the furniture and dated appearance. Please know how important your comfort is to us. It's not common that we get the sort of feedback you provided, and although it is discouraging to read, it will help us make our hotel even better in the future. Let me apologize again that your stay was not completely satisfying, and assure you that we will continue to listen to our guests in forums like this one or directly (please visit our website and click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page). I hope we have addressed your concern satisfactorily, and that you would give us the pleasure of having you as a guest again at this hotel or any other Extended Stay Hotels(sm) brand location in the future.

"Alright Overnight Stay"
We did the "Expedia Unpublished Rates Hotels" for a one night getaway and ended up here. Was a little worried due to other reviews. The gentleman at the front counter was very friendly and DID ask us if we forgot anything like a toothbrush, mouthwash, etc that we may be in need of. Like others said - the only things in the room were TP, bar soap, tissues, […] and a single serving of coffee (although there is coffee and a "grab n go" breakfast in the lobby). Nothing else like most would have. We normally take our own toiletries so this wasn't an issue! Things did seem clean (room smelled like bleach and cleaning supplies) but the property was run down. There was a lot of chips/holes in the cabinets in our room and just other signs of wear throughout the hotel. Would I pay full price for this hotel, no, but for the deal we got it was fine. Bed was very comfy and my husband enjoyed the muffins and coffee in the morning. We're not big breakfast people and didn't need a pool so the extras weren't needed. Close to area attractions, shopping, and restaurants was a huge plus! Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling
"Hotel Room Stinks- upper floors loud!!"
The room smelled of curry. I love curry but prefer to sleep in a curry-free zone. The upper floors had families shouting in their native tongue. This hotel, like many of the suites in the area, are long-term (year or more) stays for the people living in them. This is fine if you will be staying long term and do not mind the noise and smell of food at […] ALL HOURS of the night. The toilet was also orange, there was no toilet paper and the wall was peeling off. The location is a good one despite all these negatives and there is a fridge/oven/microwave should you want to join the masses. I will not be returning to this hotel.

The hotel was overpriced. There was not even a small complimentary shampoo/conditioner in the shower, no kleenex, no decaf coffee or tea bags, nor was any available.The girls working the desk were not friendly and had no personality. I will not stay again.Geverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling
"Close to Oakland University"
The check in process was horrible. We arrived early--1 o'clock and staff told us the room would be ready in a half hour. We waited til 1 1/2 hours and it was still not ready. Came back at 3:30, room was ready---lugged all of our stuff in and it WAS NOT ready. Waited another hour and it finally was ours! The staff was pretty nonchalent about our experience […] and I was not impressed by them at all. The hotel was close to where we were headed the next day so that was good. There were nice restaurants near by and we enjoyed the Macaroni Grill. The neighborhood was also nice to take an evening walk. Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

"Homestead Extended Stay, Auburn Hills, Mich."
The property has definite signs of age and maintenance issues e.g. bathroom fixtures, paint and trim, cabinet molding fell off, etc. Room was large and bed was comfortable. The biggest surprise was that there was no daily room servicing. This was not mentioned in anything I saw in previous reviews or in descriptions of the property. Used towels were […] replaced by the desk clerk if previous ones were deposited in a recepticle at the front desk by the guest. No bed make-up or room cleaning except once a week, our stay did not include that day! Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling
"OK for the Money"
It is definately not a 3 or 4 star hotel. But it is convienent to Auburn hills and Rochester. They could use a business center with at least one PC for guests to use..

Very convenient location to Oakland University. Nice for visiting college student & pets are welcome. Able to cook in room with small kitchenette. The hotel looks & smells clean, but when using the pull out sofa bed, more than once we have had stained matteresses & crumbs & food found inside the sofa seats. An exterminater was working when we checked […] in which made me think they may have some problems, but at least they are dealing with them. Always need to get more sheets, blankets for sofa bed as no extra are in the room. No one available at desk made things a bit difficult during late hours. Basic hotel for fair price.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich knocked President Barack Obama on foreign policy Sunday, saying the president is "leading from behind" in the United States-Russia negotiations over Syria's chemical weapons.
"Russian influence just increased in the Middle East dramatically. We are now relying on the Russians. We're now following from behind," said Gingrich, who's now a co-host of CNN's "Crossfire." "This is not a good long-term position."
Russia and the U.S. announced Saturday they had reached an agreement on a framework for Syria to hand over control of its chemical weapons.
While Obama said in a statement the agreement "represents an important concrete step" forward, he cautioned that the U.S. is prepared to act if the diplomatic option fails.
Echoing criticism from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, Gingrich said Russia has now taken the leading position in brokering the agreement -- a position that shouldn't be trusted.
"You have (Russian President Vladimir) Putin playing chess, you have Obama playing frankly a very lucky game of tic-tac-toe," Gingrich said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Putin stepped in, but he didn't step in to save Barack Obama. Putin stepped in to maximize Russia's influence in the Middle East. That is strategically a defeat for the United States -- the biggest defeat for us since the 1970s."
Republican Sen. John McCain, joining in the criticism, argued the new agreement is "meaningless" because "there's no penalty for noncompliance."
"There was no agreement on the use of force or sanctions by the United Nations, showing that unless Russia agrees, there's is no punishment for noncompliance for Bashar al-Assad," McCain told reporters.
But others argued that critics were simply overlooking the big picture.
"In the end, we're not going to be dropping bombs over there," CNN political commentator Cornell Belcher said on "State of the Union." "In the end, he's going to get rid of the chemical weapons. We're not going to war, like the American people didn't want to. I think it's a victory."
Neera Tanden, president of American Center for Progress, said the agreement fulfills U.S. national security interests, and those who disagree are simply playing politics.
"Instead of seeing this as an achievement for America's national security interests, conservatives are looking at another way to score points against the president," she said on the same program.
For his part, Obama also seemed to brush off criticism from skeptics. In an interview that aired Sunday, he said he's not worried about the negative reactions over how he's handled the Syria situation, saying Washington tends to make judgments based on style, rather than substance.
"Had we rolled out something that was very smooth and disciplined and linear - they would have graded it well, even if it was a disastrous policy," he said on ABC's "This Week." "We know that, 'cause that's exactly how they graded the Iraq War - until it ended up ... blowing up in our face."
"I'm less concerned about style points," he added. "I'm much more concerned about getting the policy right."

Earlier in the week, we thought we'd give the Orioles Stud of the Week nod to Wei-Yin Chen, who made a triumphant return after being on the disabled list for two months. On Wednesday night, he threw seven innings and only gave up three hits in a 6-1 win over the Texas Rangers. But a former Ranger himself just won't stop hitting home runs . . .
Stud of the Week for July 8-15:
Chris Davis
The line:
Heading into the All-Star Break (in which he'll be starting and participating in the Home Run Derby), Davis homered four times in as many games, bringing his slugging percentage up to a whopping .717.
Studliest moment:
The Orioles slugger blasted his 37th home run Sunday afternoon against the Blue Jays, tying Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson for the American League record for most home runs before the All-Star Break.
