Stenographer Training Programs and Education Requirements
Stenographer education programs generally train students to transcribe live or recorded speech into documents. Continue reading for an overview of the training, as well as career and salary info for some career options for graduates.
Essential Information
Stenographers often work as court reporters for legal proceedings or for businesses and schools that require transcription of events, conferences and meetings. An associate's degree or postsecondary certificate and typing proficiency is typically required. Many states also require that stenographers obtain state licensure or certification.

Training Requirements
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) notes that while training requirements depend on the individual's chosen specialty, all employers require stenographers to have a high school diploma or GED certificate (www.bls.gov). Training programs typically award a stenography or court reporting certificate. The National Court Reporter Association (NCRA) maintains a list of approved court reporting programs. Although most of the schools offer certificates, some offer associate's degrees in court reporting and transcription.
Court Reporting Certificate Programs
A court reporting certificate program trains aspiring court reporters and other stenographers to transcribe speech using various real-time methods. Most programs also provide coursework on secretarial and office skills. Certificate programs vary in length from 1-4 semesters and typically include courses in real-time reporting, captioning, legal terminology and computer use.
Some certificate programs allow students to choose between courses in voice writing or real-time recording theory. Other required courses could include editing legal documents or medical terminology.
Associate's Degree Programs in Court Reporting
Associate's degree programs in court reporting can take 72-168 credit hours to complete. Required courses typically include study of machine shorthand, dictation, legal terminology and court reporting procedures. These degree programs include general education classes in English, psychology and history. Students might be allowed to take skill-building courses intended to increase their typing skills and accuracy.
Licensing and Certification
In most states, court reporters who transcribe legal proceedings must be licensed, which requires passing a state-administered court reporting exam. Some states also require stenographers to be certified court reporters (CCRs). To obtain CCR credentials, stenographers must have formal training, experience and a passing score on state-approved court reporting exam.
Additional licensure might be required if stenographers also provide other transcription services, such as voice writing. The National Verbatim Reporters Association provides certification that meets licensure requirements for voice writers.
The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) certifies stenographers and court reporters. Certifications from the NCRA attest to competency and might increase career prospects, the organization notes.
Registered Professional Reporter (RPR)
This certification requires candidates to take two exams, a multiple-choice knowledge test and a three-part skills-based exam. The skills exam includes recording jury instruction at 200 words per minute (WPM), literary recording at 180 wpm and recording of testimony at 225 words per minute. The NCRA notes that candidates do not have a time limit to earn the RPR, although stenographers must earn three continuing education units (CEUs) every three years to maintain RPR certification.
Registered Merit Reporter (RMR)
Certified RPRs can sit for the RMR exam. Candidates must have been certified RPRs for the past three years with current membership in the NRCA. The RMR exam is 105 multiple choice questions and a skills exam in three parts, similar to the RPR skills exam, except that candidates for the RMR must have 95% accuracy to pass.
Registered Diplomate Reporter (RDR)
Registered Merit Reporters are eligible to take the RDR exam after six years of membership in the NCRA. This certification requires passage of a 105-question multiple choice test. The RDR is renewed in the same manner as the RPR and RMR, by earning a total of three CEUs every three years.
Certified Real-Time Reporter (CRR)
Individuals who are Registered Professional Reporters may take the CRR certification examination. This exam includes three parts - operation of dictation and recording equipment, 96% accuracy in five minutes of real-time writing at 200 wpm and conversion of the text file to ASCII.

GPRbuild is an advanced software tool designed to help automate the
construction of multi-language systems. It removes the complexity from
multi-language development by allowing developers to quickly and easily
compile and link software written in a combination of languages including
Ada, Assembler, C, C++, and Fortran. Easily extendable by users to cover
new toolchains and languages it is primarily aimed at projects of all sizes
organized into subsystems and libraries and is particularly well suited for
compiled languages.

lang/gnat_util, devel/gprbuild: Support gcc5-aux
GPRBuild is too highly tethered to the compiler -- in practical terms
each version of GPRBuild is meant to be built by a specific GPL GNAT,
but we're trying to build it with multiple FSF GNATS that are out of sync.
This patch set does allow GPRBuild to build and apparently work with both
gcc-aux and gcc5-aux. There is no real change for gcc-aux (OpenVMS is
removed from the code but it should be same difference) ang for gcc5-aux,
the previous patches aren't needed but new ones are. Thus, EXTRA_PATCHES
had to be set for each of the two supported compilers.
lang/gnat_utils had to be modified to stop packaging OpenVMS target files
as apparently this target has been removed from gcc5-aux.
marino 12 devel ports: Remove @dirrm, tend install commands, plus
The main purpose of this commit is to remove @dirrm from the pkg-plist of
some of my ports in devel category. While here, also:
* Unmask some commands
* Use parenthesis on compound commands for multi-job support
* Add a license in one case
* USES=python conversion in one case
* Add WWW and reformat description in one case
* Respect 80-columns
devel/gprbuild: Upgrade version 20130416 (2013) => 20140417 (2014)
Adacore provides annual releases for its major GPL-licensed products.
GPRBuild is an important tool, but it's source is only exposed once
per year, in May. The 2014 release of GPRBuild relies on features in
Adacore's commercial product, GNAT Pro, that has not yet been migrated
to FSF GNAT. I had to patch 2014 to get it to build with FSF GNAT 4.9,
losing minor new functionality in the process.
My first decision was to simply skip GPRBuild 2014 stay on the 2013
version, but it turns out packages are already using the new features
in gprinstall, one of the tools in the GPRBuild package.
Tests on adabooch, aws, asis and opentoken indicate they build fine
with GPRBuild 2014.
devel/gprbuild: Pet Jenkins by fixing PORTEXAMPLES definition
I could have sworn that "." was a legitimate value for PORTEXAMPLES,
which accepts directories. I believe I tested it, but it's not working
now. Change it from "." to "*" (which is common), and bump the port
to please Jenkins.
Reported by: swills
devel/gprbuild: Fix build bug that prevented parallel building
The BUILD and PROCESSOR definitions were supposed to be part of
MAKE_ARGS, but they somehow ended up in CONFIGURE_ARGS. This prevented
parallel building and building with the "production" profile. The
latter causes binary changes, hence the revbump.
devel/gprbuild: Fix automatic detection for AMD64
The standard target is amd64, not x86_64.
Support both though.
devel/gprbuild: New version as result of gcc-aux upgrade to gcc49
GPRBuild was previously based on the 2012 release, but it never should
have gone past the 2011 issue. GPRBuild needs to use the same sources as
the GNAT that builds it, but it was built with the embedded sources
instead. These "GPL" sources were ahead of the "FSF" sources, and
GPRBuild only worked by chance. Using the proper GNAT Sources (gnat_util)
resulted in build failure! Now gcc-aux has been updated and now
GPRBuild 2013 can be properly built with FSF GNAT 4.9 sources.
devel/gprbuild: fix pkg-plist

devel/gprbuild: Convert to staging

Replace John Marino email address with FreeBSD version
While I'm here, also trim the headers on a couple of ports and remove

Approved by: bapt (mentor)
Fix leftovers with pkg_* tools
Reported by: QAT
The devel/gprbuild-aux is heavily tied with lang/gnat-aux. No other gnat
compiler can use it (e.g. lang/gnat).
This new port intends to be more versatile although the only verified compiler
atm is lang/gcc-aux. Once the two port that depend on gprbuild are updated,
devel/gprbuild-aux should be removed
main points:
1) supports new USES+= ada
2) Updated to GNAT GPL 2012 source
3) supports DESTDIR (tested on pkgsrc)
4) improved targetsets
5) Includes custom support for -R RPATH support (only found here, I created it)

It wasnÆt Alex SwickÆs first solo flight but it might have been his most memorable one.
The Lima Central Catholic senior Ś a three-time state tennis tournament qualifier in doubles Ś won the Division II sectional singles championship on Saturday at the University of Northwestern Ohio.
Swick and John Kidd were Division II state runner-up in doubles last year and in 2011 and he and Brandon French reached the first round of the state tournament three years ago.
SwickÆs victory made him the first LCC tennis player to win 100 matches in his career.
ōThat was huge today. It was kind of personal,ö he said. ōThatÆs very hard to do because you definitely have to go deep into the state tournament consistently to get to play 100 matches, let alone win them.
ōI would have kicked myself if I hadnÆt made it to 100,ö he said.
Swick defeated Ottawa-GlandorfÆs Alex Schroeder 6-0, 6-1 in the championship match. In the semifinals, Swick won 6-1, 6-1 over ShawneeÆs Avinash Rajesekaran and Schroeder won 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 over CelinaÆs Alex Seibel after falling behind 4-1 in the third set.
Swick jumped out to a 5-0 start in the first set of the championship match and set the tone early.
ōHe played really, really well. I didnÆt think I played that bad, he just played really well,ö said Schroeder, the Western Buckeye League champion at No. 1 singles.
Swick said playing singles this year has required some adjustments.
ōItÆs very different. In doubles itÆs more of a perfection game. In doubles if you slice one ball, your partner is going to get tagged at the net. In singles you can slice it more and set up the shot,ö he said.
ōThe shots are all there but the biggest thing is changing your mentality. I played points like a doubles player and it was very obvious I was not a singles player. But IÆve been playing two or three times a day this week and itÆs really starting to come together.ö
ShawneeÆs Avinasah Rajesekaran took third place in singles with a 7-6, 7-5 win over Seibel.
The top four finishers in singles and doubles qualified for this weekÆs district tournament at Bowling Green on Thursday and Saturday. The top three singles players and doubles teams at the district will qualify for the state tournament.
In doubles, ShawneeÆs Jason Barton and Josh Thomas won the championship 6-3, 6-2 over CelinaÆs Isaac Elston and Kris Lejeune 6-3, 6-2. In the third place match, CelinaÆs Aaron Seibel and Keaton Mohler won 6-1, 6-2 over St. MarysÆ Cole Brooks and Jason Freewalt.
A week earlier on the UNOH courts, Barton was runner-up to Schroeder at No. 1 singles in the WBL meet and Thomas and Scott Jettinghoff were runner-up to Elston and Lejeune at No. 1 doubles.
Thomas called SaturdayÆs turnaround a little ōrevengeö for the WBL tournament. Barton said, ōIt feels good. We did win overall (as a team in the WBL tournament). But it was just nice to move on.ö

Worlds of WonderBy KALEON RAHAN firstname.lastname@example.com
Before watching Iron Man face his arch-enemy the Mandarin in Iron Man 3, go read some of their greatest-ever fights in the comics.
THE upcoming Iron Man 3 will be featuring Shellhead's perennial arch-enemy, the Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley, no less). I am glad that he is the lead villain in the movie because of his long, outstanding rivalry with Tony Stark – unlike the last movie's villain, Whiplash.
While the movie will no doubt give us its own version of Mandarin's origins and motivations (the character made his debut in 1964's Tales of Suspense #50, created by Stan Lee, of course, and drawn by Don Heck), there is a reason why he is considered Iron Man's greatest enemy. He wields 10 magical rings that give him various powers (ranging from ice and fire blasts to disintegration rays). The contrast between the Mandarin's mystic powers and Iron Man's technological ones make for some intriguing encounters.
The two adversaries have had a number of epic battles over the years, many of which ended with Iron Man just managing to score
a narrow victory.
Without further ado, here are the 10 most memorable confrontations between Iron Man and the Mandarin, which should help justify his presence in Iron Man 3!
1) Tales Of Suspense #50
Writer: Stan Lee
Artist: Don Heck
The first confrontation between Iron Man and the Mandarin was more of an information-gathering exercise, as each combatant learned more about his opponent's abilities. Following up on the Pentagon's request, Iron Man travelled to the Mandarin's castle in China and found out the hard way that his high-tech armour was no match for the villain's mystical 10 rings! It took a stroke of luck to save Iron Man from his first comprehensive defeat, as our hero escaped with the aid of a pickup plane.
2) Tales Of Suspense #54-#55 (1964)
Writer: Stan Lee
Artist: Don Heck
It takes the Mandarin a mere four issues to avenge his earlier defeat, by sabotaging a stash of missiles that Tony Stark has sold to the US Government. In retaliation, Iron Man pays the Mandarin's castle a second visit – only to find his armour's limited power storage a big handicap against the Mandarin's might. Once again, Iron Man's quick thinking saves the day as he thwarts the Mandarin's plans and recovers vital American arms.
3) Tales Of Suspense #61-#62
Writer: Stan Lee
Artist: Don Heck
After two narrow defeats, the Mandarin decides to hit Tony Stark where it hurts, using a satellite to unleash a deadly blast on Stark's mansion. Believing that he has killed Stark, he awaits the retaliation of Stark's "bodyguard". Despite capturing Iron Man, the Mandarin decides to break out of the pre-requisite super-villain monologue, and reveals his origin for the first time. Unsurprisingly, this buys Iron Man valuable recovery time, and he even goes a step further by tricking the Chinese army into thinking that the Mandarin is actually a traitor. As in their past battles, Iron Man narrowly snatches the victory. However, what makes this story a milestone is the revelation that the Mandarin's rings are of alien origin!
4) Iron Man (Vol 1) #100
Writer: Bill Mantlo
Artist: George Tuska
The most convincing Iron Man victory happens here, as Shellhead trounces the Mandarin on all fronts – from weaponry to martial arts – and even managing to deactivate his 10 rings, and reducing his castle to a pile of rubble!
5) Iron Man (Vol 1) #270-#275
Writer: John Byrne
Artist: Paul Ryan
The six-part Dragon Seed Saga had Iron Man and War Machine going up against not just the Mandarin but also Fin Fang Foom!
After the events in Armour Wars II, Tony was wheelchair-bound after contracting a virus that destroyed his nervous system. Desperately needing the help of Dr Su Yin, he strikes a deal with the Chinese Government. In exchange for the doctor's help, he must first defeat the Mandarin!
With all these mega-factions in the same story, the battles in this storyline were truly cataclysmic, even with Tony controlling his armour virtually. However, the highlight was the revelation that the Mandarin's rings were actually connected to Fin Fang Foom's space dragon mythos. Ultimately, the ending managed to match the hype, with the Mandarin losing his hands and left comatose.
6) Iron Man (Vol 3) #8-#10
Writer: Kurt Busiek
Artist: Sean Chen
This post-Heroes Reborn revamp of the Iron Man universe also included a repackaging of the Mandarin. While past features stereotyped him as a B-grade Dr Doom, this three-part tale narrows that gap thanks to the introduction of his fortress in the sky, Dragon of Heaven.
Cranking up his dastardly level from "Mean" to "Mega Bad", the Mandarin is plotting world domination once again, starting with Russia, on the way towards establishing a new world order.
Inevitably, Iron Man emerged triumphant (as usual), with the Avengers and Soviet Super Soldier's support. This story left a sour taste in my mouth, with Mandarin's acceptance of his defeat and going so far as to acknowledge Iron Man as a worthy foe.
7) Iron Man: Director
Of S.H.I.E.L.D. #21-#29
Writer: Daniel and Charlie Knauf
Artist: Roberto De La Torre
Hand-less, stripped of his royal status, and stuck in prison under inhumane conditions, this is a completely new, humbled Mandarin that we see in two continuing story arcs, Haunted and Red Rain.
Without hands to wield his 10 rings, you would think he'd be powerless, right? Wrong – somehow, he manages to merge his 10 rings with his spine, and escapes from prison!
Once free, the Mandarin then assumes the guise of Tem Borjigin, a corporate figure, and leader of Prometheus. The focus then shifts to a more corporate arena, as the Mandarin utilises his newfound resources to convert the Extremis process into a virus.
As the director of SHIELD at the time, Tony Stark had the organisation's resources at his disposal. However, the Mandarin exploits SHIELD's loopholes, and even manages to compromise his Extremis abilities, forcing Stark to go back to basics by wearing an outdated Silver Centurion suit en route to a brutal showdown with the villain. The scene where Iron Man rips the rings from Mandarin's spine still ranks high on our hero's list of greatest coups de grâce!
8) Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin #1-#6
Writer: Joe Casey
Artist: Eric Canete
Although this is pretty much just a repackaging of their initial Tales Of Suspense encounters, Joe Casey does a great job in updating the plot, while injecting more depth into their half-century-old rivalry.
9) Invincible Iron Man (Vol 5) #516-#527
Writer: Matt Fraction
Artist: Salvador Larocca
No Iron Man creative team's run would be complete without the Mandarin showing up at some point. Probably the best Iron Man creative team so far, Fraction and Larocca positioned the Mandarin as the ultimate bane in Tony's life. Initial story arcs focused on the threats posed by representatives of the rival Stane and Hammer families, with the Mandarin eventually emerging as the nexus in channelling their combined hatred for Tony!
What we have in these dozen issues are two continuous story arcs (The Long Way Down and The Future), portraying Tony in a never-before-seen position – as the Mandarin's lackey! Obviously, this was not a permanent role and it built up to the biggest Iron Man showdown to date, pitting Tony against the Mandarin and everyone else bearing him a grudge.
10) Invincible Iron Man Annual (2010) #1
Writer: Matt Fraction
Artist: Carmine Di Giandomenico
While not strictly an Iron Man-Mandarin showdown, Mandarin: The Story Of My Life is the most comprehensive take on the megalomaniac's psyche and origins so far, offering a differing perspective of the villain.
To the Mandarin, history essentially means "his story", and with the power at his disposal, he secures the services of an acclaimed movie director named Jun Lee to tell that story ... by holding the man's wife hostage!
Similar to how Tony Stark outsmarted Wong Chu (Iron Man's first-ever villain – Stark deceived him by pretending to make him a weapon when he was actually constructing his Iron Man suit), Jun pretends to do the Mandarin's bidding while directing the biggest movie of his life (or what's left of it).
As Jun delves further into the Mandarin's origins, he struggles to reconcile truth and fiction, in light of the differing information provided by independent (but oppressed) parties.
Despite this being more of a struggle between Jun and the Mandarin, this story makes the list because it goes some way towards justifying why the Mandarin deserves the main villain role in Iron Man 3.

EDITORIAL: 'Miserable' label way off the mark
Connect the dots, if your would, on an absurd scenario that takes us from some 546 people in six counties answering survey questions that led someone to conclude that Evansville is one of the nation's most miserable cities.
As it developed, the Gallop research company and Healthways health care company conducted their annual Well-Being Index telephone survey in Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey and Gibson counties in Indiana and Henderson and Webster counties in Kentucky. Individuals who agreed to participate answered more than 50 questions each. The questions involved such areas as physical and emotional health, health related habits, access to health care, workplace environment and overall life evaluations. As Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke pointed out, the survey relied on self data reported by the participants; in other words, answers may have depended on how the participants felt when the surveyors called. As a result, for Evansville, the overall final score was 63.1 on a scale of 100, ranking us 182nd out of 189 metropolitan areas that had at least 300 respondents participate.
As a result, a third parties concluded that Evansville ranked among the nation's "most miserable cities," which, of course, was picked and spread by news outlets.
People will believe what they want. No question, based on ongoing local debates about whether Evansville is a good place or a bad place to live, there are a good number of people who don't like living here. We believe, however, there are many, many more who find it a perfectly fine place to live.
There are some obvious points to raise about the survey. For example, the survey questioned 546 people in six counties who had the time to answer multiple, but the conclusion was that "Evansville" is among the most miserable cities. Also, the results vary from year to year, with Evansville ranking significantly higher in 2011. Remember 2010 when Evansville was found to have the highest obesity rate of metropolitan areas? But in 2011 and 2012, Evansville did not make the top 10. So were responders feeling better about themselves in 2012 than in 2010, or was it simply the luck of the dial.
And in 2011 in the area of work environment, the Evansville area ranked 10 highest, but in 2012, it ranked considerably lower. What was the difference?
Look, it's no secret that Evansville has an obesity problem, such that the city has been attempting to address it. Folks came to that conclusion around here years ago, and some, including Winnecke, have been addressing it. But that one factor alone does not make this a miserable place to live. It should not discount the city's many parks, golf courses, and miles of trails. its hospitals and universities, its scenic riverfront, and its philharmonic orchestra. And truth told, nothing should discount the value of the city's corps of prolific complainers who keep leaders on their toes. Even the best of metropolitan areas have their shortcomings, but none — and especially Evansville — justify being called a miserable place to live.

I somewhat agree with wizylabs. If you don't have a specific reason to upgrade to 3.1, such as a feature it offers that you absolutely MUST have, I wouldn't bother. Most of the updates were targeted at developers, not end users. The benefit is minimal (if any) for existing themes
Just say NO to 3.1
thanks Parallelus for your details…..but I will have in some way to disable the notification so my clients wont make the mistake to upgrade
That's another thing about WordPress that annoys me. Any decent CMS will put the control in the developers hands, not the user. They should get rid of that notification or make it option to enable/disable and from a code level like the .config file. Might be a plugin for this. If not you can target it with CSS
.update-nag { display: none; }
Use this plugin to disable the update notification – Far easier than updating all the themes individually
thank you Parallelus and Gareth!! this info is valuable!!

War. What Is It Good For?
By the time you read this, the invasion of Iraq may have begun--or it may be over. The Iraqi military may have put daisies in their gun barrels--a London-based Kurdish journalist I know has received dozens of reports of soldiers in northern Iraq deserting or trying to surrender--or Republican Guard troops loyal to Saddam Hussein may be putting up ferocious street-by-street resistance in Baghdad. Thousands of civilians may be dead, and since US plans for bombing entail leveling one in ten buildings in Iraq, it's hard to imagine less carnage. But perhaps the number of casualties will be surprisingly low.
Saddam Hussein may torch oilfields or use biological or chemical weapons against US troops--or the United States may deploy sinister new weapons of its own, like the 21,000-pound MOAB bomb the New York Times says sends "a devastating wave of fire and blast," an electromagnetic pulse bomb that crashes entire computer networks, even a nuclear "bunker buster." Or both. Or neither. People like to predict, whether to strengthen their convictions or to prepare themselves psychologically, but war is inherently unpredictable: The Afghans were supposed to be formidable mountain fighters who would rally round the Taliban and hold out fiercely against the hated foreigner, and World War I was supposed to last six weeks.
Unless the worst predictions prove true, the antiwar movement--not to mention the United Nations--is sure to be scorned as crying wolf when it warned of hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi children and thousands of US body bags. I sometimes thought that too much stress was laid, at antiwar protests and candlelight vigils, on the simple fact that people--yes, even children--are killed in war. After all, people--including children--are killed by tyrannical regimes, too. Had the Taliban remained in power, torturing, massacring, executing, they might have killed outright as many people by now, or even more, as were killed by American bombs, while continuing to poison Afghan society with illiteracy, ignorance, ill health, brutality, fanaticism and the most extreme misogyny the world has seen. Saddam Hussein has been a disaster for Iraq, and no doubt would continue to be so if left in power. Whether the Iraqis greet US troops with cheers and confetti or with sullen, resentful glares, you can be sure that they won't be singing "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" or "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"
According to polls, most Americans now believe that Saddam Hussein was behind the September 11 attacks and support the war--however anxiously and unhappily--in the mistaken belief that it is necessary for self-defense. The 9/11 connection is ceaselessly, demagogically promoted by the Administration. In his speech warning of imminent invasion if Saddam failed to leave Iraq in forty-eight hours, George W. Bush alluded to this discredited canard seven times.
Liberal prowar intellectuals, though, don't talk so much any more about self-defense as a motive for war--avoiding any embarrassment about the nuclear weapons Saddam turns out not to have, for example, or his decrepit military that is supposed to threaten world security even as it is on the brink of collapse. They know that Iraq has far less to do with terrorism than, say, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, and that there are plenty of other sources for weapons of mass destruction. Their chief cause--I'm thinking here of Michael Ignatieff, for example, the most eloquent exponent of humanitarian imperialism--is "regime change": They argue the moral rightness of overthrowing Saddam by force and setting Iraq on the path to democracy and normality.
This is a seductive vision indeed--who wouldn't like to see Saddam in the dock at The Hague? I'd be surprised if the Iraqis got real democracy out of US invasion and occupation, but maybe the next strongman or puppet or junta will be an improvement, the way Karzai is an improvement on the Taliban. It could be that, as Samantha Power (author of "A Problem From Hell": America and the Age of Genocide) told the New York Times in early February, "a unilateral attack would make Iraq a more humane place, but the world a more dangerous place."
Humane? Maybe. More dangerous, for sure. Whatever the immediate results--this many dead children versus that much freedom from repression--the fundamental issue has to be the perils of "pre-emptive war" in volatile times. However it works out for the Iraqis, invading their country will be bad for the rest of the world. It will aid terrorist recruitment, it will license other countries--India and Pakistan, for example--to wage pre-emptive wars of their own, it may even consolidate Islamic fundamentalism as the only alternative to American power in the Middle East. Those are the fears not just of the American antiwar movement but of the majority of people around the world, even in the nations whose leaders have joined with ours.
But who cares about the majority of the world's people? We'll go to war unilaterally, with our pathetic collection of allies (Britain, OK. But Spain? Italy? Latvia?), while the rest of the world stands by appalled. We'll boycott the Dixie Chicks, eat our freedom fries and even, as documented in the New York Times, pour Dom Perignon by the gallon down the toilet ("I'll bet it was just water," said the manager of my local liquor store. "Nobody would waste great champagne like that!"). People will be called traitors if they wear peace T-shirts, fail to salute the flag or dare to suggest that anyone in the Administration has lower motives than the selfless salvation of humanity. Journalists "embedded," as the odd phrase goes, in military units will send back an endless stream of heartwarmers that will reinforce the confusion of "support the troops" with "support the war." If, in the end, the Iraqis turn out to hate and resent the nation that bombed them into freedom, we'll shake our heads in angry bewilderment: After all we did for you, this is the thanks we get!
The issue raised by the invasion of Iraq is American imperialism. That won't go away, no matter how this particular adventure turns out. See you at the demonstration.

How often is it that you are lucky enough to witness a brand new group of already legendary powerhouse musicians premier before a live audience? Maybe some are more fortunate than I, but last Friday at the Boulder Theatre was a first for me. Boulder audiences were fortunate enough to catch the premier performance of a brand new folk rock/Americana "super-group" Hardworking Americans.
When bands do five-night runs, the first night is usually expected to be, more or less, the warm-up night. Yonder Mountain String Band had no such things in mind as they laid down a blistering show to a packed Boulder Theater on Friday night that set the bar pretty high for the remaining four nights.
If part of your plan for Warren Haynes' 25th Christmas Jam was to get in town early to have a leisurely night Thursday at the Asheville Music Hall, Roosevelt Collier and Friends threw a pleasant kink in the plans. Kinks usually get a bad rap but in this case, this evening's kink was very kind. The Asheville Music Hall is right in the same area as all your favorite Asheville entertainment establishments at 31 Patton Avenue. If you have yet to visit Asheville, you will find the 'Strangers stopping strangers, just to sh
With Lettuce and The Kyle Hollingsworth Band preparing to settle inside of my ears for the evening, things blasted off in an over-caffeinated wild turkey blitz en route to the Fillmore Auditorium. While the hall filled in, those on the rails waited patiently for the on-stage gospel to pour freely.
On an icy, cold night in Fayetteville, AR I traveled (safely and slowly) to George's Majestic Lounge for an epic evening with The Infamous Stringdusters. They've played a couple times on Mulberry Mountain but never in Fayetteville so it was a treat for us. Unfortunately, the show was scheduled on a day that fell just after our area had been covered by ice and snow.
It's no secret that the Infamous Stringdusters love Colorado, and let's be serious, who can blame them? While Virginia is their home base, bassist Travis Book grew up here, and Andy Hall and Chris Pandolfi now spend their days along the Colorado Front Range. It seems to be a home away from home for the band, with highly responsive crowds always eager for some high altitude, innovative bluegrass.
The Parish is completely empty when I arrive. Austinites haven't adjusted to the near-freezing temperatures yet, so it's not surprising that rosy-cheeked audience members only start trickling in during the opening act. After I buy a whiskey on the rocks, the only respectable drink order for this winter weather, I take a look around. I've never seen this venue, really, because the last time I was here was for Thom Yorke and people were stacked three high
Colorado favorites and jam band veterans Michael Travis and Jason Hann spearheaded their second headlining performance at Denver's nationally renowned Fillmore Auditorium on Saturday night, bringing their Cirque De Bass along with them. To me, the ability to play the Fillmore and Red Rocks adds up to 2/3rds of the Colorado Triple Crown when it comes to live music.
Genuine charisma is what sets Chris and Oliver Wood Brothers Band apart from other contemporary rock bands. Their own brand of Americana, fused by two different musical paths bound together, has evolved from a genre-bending project into a highly popular full time band. Before the groups' inception in 2004, many were less familiar with guitarist Oliver Wood but knew his brother Chris as the virtuoso bass ace of avant-garde jazz trio MMW.
One of the greatest qualities of Colorado's Cajun Slamgrass legends Leftover Salmon is their ability to evolve with sincere versatility. Founding members Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt have taken the band to higher creative peaks, with new material (the fantastic Aquatic Hitchhiker release) and welcoming great musicians in that really understand how to play their demanding style while also kicking back and parting with their crowd.

Ind. FSSA welfare 'hybrid' poised to expand
A year and a half ago, Indiana's human services agency decided to scrap some parts of its "modernization" effort and replace it with a new way of handling welfare benefits.
The Family and Social Services Administration piloted its "hybrid" system — one that combined the technological advances of the botched effort and the in-person touch that existed before 2008 — in 10 Southwestern Indiana counties.
Eighteen months later, the state is expanding that hybrid way of determining whether Hoosiers qualify for welfare and delivering those benefits to 72 of Indiana's 92 counties.
A look at data on error rates, timeliness, case backlogs and more show that across the board, the hybrid system is outperforming its two predecessors — the paper-based system in place before 2008, and the computerized one in place after that.
In what's called the "Vanderburgh region" — the 10 counties where the hybrid was piloted starting in late January 2010 — new claims for Medicaid, food stamps and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families are being processed faster.
Those 10 counties in the Vanderburgh region are Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Knox, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Warrick and Vanderburgh.
In 2007, before the modernized system was in place, the local FSSA Division of Family Resource offices in those counties processed 80.4 percent of their welfare applications within three months — the period statistically considered timely.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a 10-year, $1.3 billion contract with a team led by IBM Corp. in December 2006, and its task was to replace that county-level work with a centralized call center and online document processing system.
In 2009, once that new system was in place in the Vanderburgh region, those 10 counties saw their combined timeliness rate drop to 69.1 percent.
Daniels scotched that effort in October 2009, and rolled out a hybrid system that allows Hoosiers to apply for benefits and handle business related to those benefits on the phone, online or in person at county offices in the Vanderburgh region. In 2011, the timeliness rate is 93.5 percent.
"So far it's been pretty positive," said state Sen. Vaneta Becker, the Evansville Republican who was one of the chief critics of the botched attempt at modernization.
She said she's getting about 10 percent of the complaints from constituents about the new hybrid system, compared to what she was getting during the period the first system that the Daniels administration tried was in place.
Many of those complaints had been from benefits recipients who were elderly or physically or mentally disabled and could not navigate the system the IBM deal put in place.
"We always knew from the beginning that the missing component was human beings in the modernization process," she said. "I think with the hybrid, at least right now, it's much better because we have people."
Statewide, the numbers have improved, as well.
The hybrid system will soon be in place in 72 counties, although that won't include the state's biggest county, Marion, which never switched to the modernized system either and is still on the old paper-based system.
But, across the state, the timeliness rate this year is 88.4 percent. That's up from 77.2 percent in 2006, when the whole state was on the old system, and 66.4 percent in 2009, when much of the state had switched to the modernized version.
Meanwhile, the federal government requires Indiana to track error rates for the food stamp program. There is a "positive" error rate, which refers to those who have been improperly given benefits, and a "negative" error rate, which refers to those who were improperly denied.
Indiana's positive error rate in 2010 was 2.5 percent, compared to a national rate of 3.6 percent. That's better than the 2009 error rate of 7.1 percent, combined to the national 4.6 percent average, and 2006, when Indiana's 6.6 percent was higher than the national 6 percent.
Indiana's negative error rate, meanwhile, dropped from 13.7 percent in 2009 to 3.8 percent in 2010, while the national average dropped from 9.4 percent in 2009 to 8.4 percent in 2010.
The state's case backlog has dropped, too. There were 10,603 cases still needing to be processed in 2006. That soared to 31,796 in 2009. For 2011, it's down to 4,137.
And while Indiana logged 16,000 complaints about the system in 2009, the state has received 724 complaints so far this year.
That all comes as the number of Hoosiers receiving Medicaid, food stamps and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families has jumped from 760,000 in 2006 to 1.15 million today.
"All the data that we look at shows that the hybrid system is working," said Marcus Barlow, an FSSA spokesman. "The changes that we had hoped we'd see under modernization, we're now seeing under hybrid."
He said the hybrid was developed "using the mistakes of modernization," so the state could not have arrived at its current system without having tried that.
Still, Indiana must deal with fallout from the modernization try. The state is locked in dueling lawsuits with IBM over who owes whom money. IBM is using Daniels' own words defending the modernization effort in its lawsuit.
John Cardwell, the chairman of the Indiana Home Care Task Force, has watched the state's welfare delivery efforts for years and is a frequent critic of the Daniels administration.
He said there's no doubt the hybrid system is an improvement over the modernized one, but said that isn't saying much.
"That's kind of like being out in the middle of the Atlantic and saying a row boat is better than being on the Titanic," he said. "The modernization was just awful. There's no other way to describe it. About anything would be better."
Cardwell said his network reports "real mixed reviews" of the hybrid.
"There's a concern," he said, "as the state goes through the hybrid process from region to region, will it staff it at the same level and with the same intensity that you've found down in the Evansville area? Not too many people believe that's going to be the case."
Barlow said the hybrid is being implemented under the same budget, with no additions, that the modernized system was to use.
He said the reason the state has started with a pilot and slowly expanded to other areas is so that all the kinks can be worked out along the way. The FSSA is about to switch to the hybrid system in the Lake County region, which is the state's second-most densely populated area.
Cardwell said one of the patterns his group has picked up is that local FSSA office workers have some trouble handling the most complex cases.
"There are still lots of people — the area agencies on aging, local charities and stuff, and hospitals and nursing homes, still having to intervene and do what (FSSA's Division of Family Resource) used to do," he said.
"That's one of the changes that has come on the system. We think that's a change that's an added cost to public benefit programs, but it's an added cost that's not appearing in FSSA's numbers."
Becker said she still hears from constituents who need help navigating the system, but she said the difference is that now her calls are taken by local offices, whereas under the modernized system she had no way of getting through.
In addition to Becker, state Reps. Suzanne Crouch, R-Evansville, and Gail Riecken, D-Evansville, were harsh critics of the modernization effort. Crouch said those who complained to legislators about it deserve some credit.
"This was a perfect example of how people can make a difference," she said. "It took a lot of courage for them, many whose livelihood depended on the system working properly, to question the performance of a government agency."

We just moved to Oahu (Dh is in the Army) and I plan to put some raised garden beds in our back yard once we get a house to start an organic vegetable/herb garden. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what is good to grow here and where I can get organic seeds?

PORTLAND -- As of 12:01 a.m. Friday, what was The Governor Hotel will be no more.
While the building is still at Southwest 11th Avenue and Southwest Alder Street, but what you'll find is what was once one of Portland's oldest is now its newest hotels.
The Governor becomes the Sentinel. But, even before it was named The Governor, it enjoyed a rich history in the city.
It was built in 1909 and was called the Seward Hotel. It was popular with the movers and shakers in timber and mining. The west wing of the hotel was built in 1923. It was home to Portland's Elks Lodge.
In the 1930s, it was renamed The Governor. The name change to Sentinel comes from the robotic architectural sculptures on top of the building that look out over the city.
We really wanted something that celebrated the history, the full history of the buildings, and to what Portland is today, noted Kate Buska, Director of Public Relations with Provenance Hotels.
Hotel owners, Provenance, also owners of the Hotel Lucia and Hotel Deluxe downtown spent $6 million to renovate the entire facility top to bottom.
Friday is an open house for the public from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m . Enjoy a free ice tea floats with a special flavor created just for the Sentinel by Salt & Straw.

From the Stacks
"From the Stacks" offers a regular helping of Newberry sustenance for the hungry intellectual. Learn about one of our hidden treasures, meticulous maps, or enduring ephemera, highlighting the resonance between the Newberry's 125 years of collecting and the timely—and timeless—issues of today. These items, covering a wide range of subject matter and form, are presented here in all their scholarly pathos and quirky splendor.
Unearthing "The Earth Child"
Midwest MS Mansfield 2: Box 1, Folder 17
In 1910, Katherine Mansfield sent a number of poems to a London publisher, only a few of which were eventually published. The rest were never published and remained in obscurity until their recent discovery at the Newberry. Known primarily for her short stories, Mansfield's reputation as a poet may now need to be reevaluated.
Infernal Imagery
VAULT Wing ZP 535 .A354
Nearly two hundred years after its original publication, Dante's Divine Comedy was republished in 1502 with Italian Renaissance flair. Unlike many other editions of Divine Comedy, this one does not rely on a multitude of illustrations to depict the agonizing pain that Dante discovers during his travels through the different circles of hell.
Full Dance Card
Wing Ephemera File, Des Arts Studio
Dance cards, known as programmes du bal in French or Tanz-karten in German, are small booklets used mainly by women at formal dances to record their dance partners. Popularized in Vienna in the nineteenth century, dance cards continued to be used throughout the early twentieth century.
Marital Power
On June 18th, 1860, Elizabeth Packard was taken from her home in Manteno, Illinois, and placed in an asylum—without trial or a thorough assembly of evidence to support her institutionalization. Packard's husband was a devout Calvinist who felt threatened by his wife's outspoken opposition to his religious views. To silence his wife and protect his reputation, he arranged for Elizabeth's confinement, which lasted three years.
Union Do's and Don'ts: Pullman Porters Unite
Case Pullman 06/01/04, Box 17, Folder 490
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP), the first African American labor union in the United States, was established by A. Philip Randolph in August 1925 in New York City. In this document, Randolph threatened, in no uncertain terms, African American Pullman employees who sided against the BSCP.
Be My Vinegar Valentine
Case Wing oversize NC 1866 .V3 M6 Box 8
Valentine's Day is known as an occasion for exchanging loving sentiments. Whether you send flowers, chocolates, or a handwritten card, these gifts express feelings of adoration for their recipient. But this mode of address has not been immune from more irreverent sensibilities. The Newberry's newest exhibition, Love on Paper, demonstrates the ways in which the valentine tradition has not always been so saccharine and sweet.
The Art of the Christmas Card
Wing folio ZC 5 .973
Magazine editor and art critic Gleeson White was already experiencing holiday-card fatigue by the end of the nineteenth century. He estimated that at least 200,000 Christmas-card designs had been published in England alone at that time. "How many thousand patterns have passed under my eye," he sighed in the introduction to his pamphlet Christmas Cards and Their Chief Designers, "I dare not estimate."
Pass the Squirrel, Please: Thanksgiving in 1870
VAULT broadside Graff 1275
While many think of Thanksgiving Day as a timeless American tradition, it did not become the federal holiday celebrated on a late November Thursday until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War. The Newberry's Graff Collection includes the printed menu for the Thanksgiving Day meal served seven years later, on November 24, 1870, at Chicago's Everett House hotel, located at the corner of Clark and Van Buren streets.

Bevy of Central leaders heading towards the poll-bound hill State
The campaign for the coming Assembly elections picked up on Thursday, with a number of Central leaders heading towards the poll-bound Himachal Pradesh and addressing a series of election rallies at different places here. Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi addressed rallies in Lahaul Spiti, Kangra and Solan and Leader of Opposition and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushma Swaraj addressed party workers and others at Sundernagar in Mandi district. Rajya Sabha MP Subhashini Ali addressed elections meetings in Shimla and nearby Cheog. The north India in-charge of Trinamool Congress K.D. Singh addressed mediapersons and released his party manifesto in Shimla on Thursday.
In the days ahead, more leaders such as L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Nitin Gadkari and Rajnath Singh from the BJP; and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Anand Sharma and Sonia Gandhi from the Congress; Prakash Karat, Sitaram Yechury, Brinda Karat and Manik Sarkar from the Communist Party of India (Marxist); Mayawati from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP); and Mamata Banerjee and Mukul Roy from the Trinamool Congress are expected to be in Himachal.
Mr. Gandhi, at a rally in Solan, criticised the BJP for creating hurdles to the Food Security and Land Acquisition Bills. Calling it a loss for farmers and not for the BJP, he said the BJP was afraid that if these Bills were passed, it would lose the 2014 Lok Sabha election. He said the BJP government in Himachal had given the land of poor farmers to the outside entrepreneurs.
Mr. Gandhi said the Congress always aimed for the welfare of the poor, downtrodden and underprivileged sections of society and had the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, the Right to Education and the Right to Information.
Ms. Swaraj lashed out at the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government for making an unprecedented hike in the prices of all essential commodities and petroleum products and LPG cylinders. She appreciated Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal's promise to give free induction heaters to all families in the State to give them a respite from the increased LPG prices.
