Cristiano v Messi: a runaway battle
The whole world is watching the Cristiano - Messi duel, as their frenzied chase, one after the other, makes the rivalry between Madrid and Barcelona more thrilling than ever. Neither player ever lets us down and now, on the eve of the next 'Clásico', Cristiano only goes and scores three against Getafe (the first pure Di Stefano-style) and a couple of hours later Messi replies with four. The Argentine scores more goals and his every increasing rhythm takes something away from Cristiano's extraordinary statistics. But, the Portuguese has scored more than a goal a game since he arrived in Madrid, something not Di Stefano, nor Puskas nor the legendary Pahiño managed.
Cristiano's advocates, his inner circle, maintain that he is the better of the two, but he has less support on the pitch. That he has to do it all himself, while Messi lives in a team of gods, a team that without him and with a couple of tweaks that made it better, but changed little substantially, won the European Championships and the World Cup. According to Cristiano's defenders, Messi without his team, without Xavi, Iniesta and the others, would be just an outstanding footballer, playing in Argentina, nothing more. It might even be true, but then neither is Cristiano scoring a goal a game in Portugal as he does in Madrid, with all the firepower the club provides to back him up.
For me, they are both giants. From Di Stéfano on I've seen them all, including Pelé and Maradona. None of them decided so many games or scored as many goals. In Pele's ledger there are a lot of goals from the regional tournament he played in back then, before the creation of a Brazilian league. Not that I would take anything away from Pelé, of course. But Messi and Cristiano are frantically scoring goals in the best footballing environment there has ever been. Messi scores more, it is true. He has a better team behind him, also true. But Cristiano is a giant who never ceases to challenge him. This is a mighty contest we are all enjoying.

A da se ti napusis kite malo aaa ??? Picko konjusarska…
Thank you for the great video jekojeksona113.
Thank you for all Peja!!!Thank you for the nice nights in which we looked the KINGS games from europe.Thank you for the EUROBASKET 2001 and for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2002.Back then i was a 12,13 years ols Teenager…COngratulions for your revenge on the Lakers and congratiulasions for THE RING youve finally got…Thank you for Everything!!!Serbia loves You
ah just like the old days when he was in Sacramento :')
one of the coolest shooting forms. his follow through is nuts
1.37 I love the fact that Dirk doesn't go for the rebound…
at 1:03 classic dirk reaction lol
I think that the shots made from one or two meters from three point line could named – Peja shots. And he put them all net all swish. Pure shooter easily in top 5 of all time. 🙂
can't leave that dude alone..come on now! Serbian Sniper!
For me, one of the 5 best 3point shooters in NBA history (with Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen…), I know there are other excellent 3point shooters like Hodges, Kerr, Curry, Kapono… but I mean great players, not secondary players
damn 2:47 the net doesn't even move.
I remember being a young kid,I always wanted to be like Peja.
finally got his revenge on the '02 loss by the lakers. too bad he didn't play much in the Finals. BRAVO PEJA MAJSTORE!
he got his revenge from 2002
i miss the old sacramento 🙁
loll watch the Portlands coach reactions after three successive three point shots
start @ 0.38
To imenjace! Srbi sve mogu zato smo im trn u oku
easily, peja has the least amount of 3 point attempts out of anyone in the top 5 all time three point shooters and throughout his career he shot a higher percentage from three with the more threes he attempted. If he'd kept going he'd have demolished Reggie and Ray
fuck the lakers.. GO KINGS..
actually he can, if he didn't get injured in his hornets days and it's because basically most of his field goals are 3 point shots
in 2002 fiba basketball world cup, Peja was the best scorrer and dirk was the best player
but yugoslavia won 🙂

There was a predictable sneer when E.L. James topped Forbes' annual list of highest-earning authors, raking in a hot $95 million for her Fifty Shades erotic S&M trilogy.
Scholars of popular romance regularly cop the same sneer. But they may have the last laugh.
Their heavy-breathing, bodice-ripping genre is developing as a reputable subject for academic attention in the same way science fiction and detective genres have. There are conferences, a journal and a professional body with 130 members, the International Association for the Study of Popular Romance.
As the US Chronicle of Higher Education recently detailed, popular romance is a female-driven, wildly successful global enterprise (with estimated US sales of $1.44 billion last year) with a passionately devoted, closely connected and unusually democratic author-reader-critic-scholar community.
In any new academic field, an early preoccupation is to define the boundaries. Pamela Regis' A Natural History of the Romance Novel (2003) specifies eight common narrative elements.
They are: a backdrop of a corrupt society that the romance eventually conquers; the meeting between the heroine and hero; an account of their mutual attraction; an explanation of the barrier between them; the breaking point that renders their romance impossible; the recognition that fells the barrier; the declaration of love; their betrothal.
Theses will be written on whether the Fifty Shades trilogy fits those criteria, or whether it is a new genre disparagingly dubbed mummy porn. Broadly defined, popular romance already goes beyond the bodice-ripping stereotype, with set-ups including but not limited to S&M, paranormal, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender and even Amish.
But a recent analysis of 20 winners of the annual RITA Awards for best romance novel found the form was as predictable as the sneers it attracts.
It found 86 per cent of heroines and 77 per cent of heroes perfectly fitted the stereotype of attractive, Caucasian, heterosexual, single and young. Their sexual encounters were most often initiated by the males and overwhelmingly followed a conventional progression from kissing and touching through to vanilla intercourse, with nothing ''kinky'' occurring.

WOOSTER -- The Wooster YMCA has exciting plans for 2013 and is looking forward to sharing them with the community.
The first order of business, already completed, is the Y has moved its fitness center from the basement of its Woodland Avenue facility to the upstairs recreation room. Fitness Director Jen Carstensen said she can't wait for YMCA patrons to experience the upgrades to the facility.
"We have moved our fitness center upstairs with new machines and into a big wide open space to work out," Carstensen said. "It's handicap accessible and the natural light has given the YMCA a totally new look. We have all new machines from Star Tracy and it is just a very positive environment. It's so great to see the seniors, as well as the teens, work out each day."
The Ellen Shapiro Natatorium, located at Wooster High School, is part of the YMCA and has a new aquatics director, Carstensen said.
"Along with the new wellness center we have many fitness classes on land and in the water, two racquetball courts, spinning and a basketball court," Carstensen said. "Our adult volleyball league is great and we just started hip-hop for kids age 3 to adult."
With the Y's annual membership drive beginning next week, there is a wide variety of programs and classes available for people of all ages and skill levels, as well as a number of membership types, Carstensen said.
"We try to meet everyone's needs, whether it is a youth membership, single parent family or senior," Carstensen said. "Come in for a tour and visit."
Carstensen and her husband, Mark, live in Wooster with their three children -- Larkin, a sophomore at Wooster; Austin, a sophomore at University of Cincinnati; and Logan, a senior at Crown College in St. Bonifacious, Minn. A native of Philadelphia, her family still resides in her home state of Pennsylvania. When she's not spending time at the Y, she can be found cheering on her kids in all that they are involved in.
"I just love supporting my kids in all they do," she said. "I love to travel and be with my friends. I just started couponing and I love helping people, and I love to exercise and find out what is the best for everyone."
A fan of making soups and chili, Carstensen said she doesn't create any special ethnic dishes, but her friend, Erica Mathur, does, and she relies on her to help her out.
"My wonderful friend and fellow instructor Erica is awesome at Indian foods and just got home from India with her family," Carstensen said. "She heads up a fundraiser for STEPS called Amazing Grazing and I love to help her and STEPS with that."
The YMCA of Wooster is open seven days a week and has been in the area since the 1950s. To learn more about the programs it offers, visit www.woosterymca.org or call 330-264-3131.

Flo Rida Tries (And Fails) To Copy #Selfie With New Song 'Photobomb' [NSFW-LISTEN]
Like many of us, Flo Rida is quiet aware of the recent success The Chainsmokers are having with their song titled "#Selfie." Now Flo Rida has dropped a song that is a knock off to "Selfie" and its titled "Photobomb."Unlike the #1 Dance Song in the country, "Photobomb" is all about a guy's experience while out. Yes, the "Boots With Fur" rapper has taken the concept from The Chainsmokers and has turned the tide, but has he hit a home run here or has he failed miserably with "Photobomb?" We'll let you be the judge.
Listen to the song below and then let us know how you feel about "Photobomb" in the comment section below. Personally, I think we may have to just hold off on this one, but then again. We just want Flo Rida to go back to making fun songs about fur on boots and songs sampling good dance lyrics, that's all.

text: Sex comes in waves. For me, it's either feast or famine. While there seems to be no rhyme or reason for when someone wants to heat my hot pocket up, if memory serves me correctly, I got the most booty back when I was 22. Sigh. That's the year I was into DJs, rockers, bartenders and pizza guys, aka dudes that are good with their hands and always near alcohol. While I've gotten older (and not that much wiser), I've never been able to duplicate that sweet year's record. Boo! But a girl's gotta have something to look forward to. Fingers crossed that when I'm 46, I'll get twice as much sexy time as I did when I was 23. And the Daily Mail U.K. is giving me hope, since three out of the five women they surveyed had the best sex after they turned 40. Awesome! What do you think has been your best sex age?

Most experts today would agree that illy was ahead of its time in the 1970s, finding a way to make high-quality espresso easier to prepare and enjoy. The E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pod format presaged today's popular pre-packed, single cup coffee-making formats, and remains a popular choice for passionate coffee lovers at home.
Each E.S.E. pod contains a perfectly dosed and tamped measure of the distinctive illy blend, enclosed in environmentally friendly filter paper designed to preserve critical flavor and aromas. An E.S.E. pod is simply placed inside a compatible machine, and within 30 seconds yields an espresso with the signature illy taste: strong, rich, yet smooth and balanced.
The X1 Trio E.S.E. espresso machine is simiple to use. Simply insert an E.S.E. pod, pre-packed with the ideal dose of illy Arabica blend and choose your favorite espresso: regular, lungo (long) or ristretto (short). A customized take on the signature illy interplay of taste, aroma and body, right at home, without years of barista training. Enjoy!

text: Politics 6 January 2011 Cleggover, you're nicked An informant dismissed Nick Clegg's supposed prowess between the sheets. Sign up for our weekly email * Citizen Dave's "big society" evidently doesn't encompass Tom Baldwin: Cameron ordered Steve Hilton to disinvite Ed Miliband's spinmeister from a New Year's Eve party at the west Oxfordshire mansion of the Prime Minister's tree-hugging marketing guru. Hilton, who voted Green in 2001, when Cameron was first elected a Tory MP, goes back a long way with Baldwin. And I hear that the PM, whom this column used to tease as Druggie Dave, is worried about those in the cabinet and No 10 who used to hang out with Little Ted's recruit. Tory newspapers made much of Michael Ashcroft's accusation in his score-settling book, Dirty Politics, Dirty Times, of what Baldwin supposedly sniffed in a hotel suite in Blackpool during the 2001 Conservative conference. Two other named hacks were placed in the room. Yet Ashcroft, until recently a Tory deputy chair, curiously failed to identify the fourth person present. Could it be that the mystery man is a very prominent Tory? Baldwin's hard-partying days are behind him and he shows no inclination to spill the political beans. Shame. On New Year's Eve I bumped into, as you do, an old acquaintance of Nick Clegg. She's still giggling at the Lothario Democrat's March 2008 declaration that he'd slept with "no more than 30" women. She never knew Cleggover in the biblical sense, but worked closely with Cameron's human shield in Brussels. The informant dismissed his supposed prowess between the bedsheets as another broken promise and insisted the truth is far more modest. As one who has compared him to Jabba the Hutt and a Sontaran in Doctor Who, I enjoy the NS's Eric-alikes. I recall the right-wing blogger Harry Cole, who retired as Tory Bear to re-emerge as one of Guido Fawkes's co-conspirators, labelling Pickles a giant thumb. So, over the holiday, I drew a pair of eyes and mouth on my left. Spooky. Try it (or take a look here ). The expenses war between MPs and Ipsa is turning dirty. At a stormy meeting of the Tory 1922 Committee before the recess, an aggrieved backbencher claimed a senior employee of the body is leaking damaging information to the Mail on Sunday. Heavy stuff. And no doubt such a heinous charge would be denied strongly. But should anyone at Ipsa be releasing details of claims, could they give me a call, too? Thanks to the real-ale-drinking Suffolk Tory Therese Coffey for pointing out, on Twitter, how wrong I was to quip that Labour's whistler Yasmin Qureshi's piercing thweeeeet qualified her to be the first woman Speaker. How could I forget Betty Boothroyd? Well, I did, and must dodge the Tiller Girl's wrath in 2011. I rejected the suggestion of a non-PC colleague to argue I was correct, and that grand Betty B was the first lady Speaker.

Ilkley 26 North Ribblesdale 0
he mood in the North Ribblesdale dressing room was pensive after a match where they had more of the ball and territory yet lost by a large score, Their cause wasn't helped by the absence of outstanding players Steven Moon, Simon Bolland and John Thwaite, but that doesn't fully excuse their total lack of pene- tration.
Despite turning the home defence on several occasions, Ribb simply could not score.
They had at least four kickable penalties in the second half which they would have taken in a league match, but at 19-0 down at half time they had to run them all.
There was nothing wrong with Ribb's tactical game. Michael Thwaite kicked sensibly and they played well in the first half against the strong wind.
Ribb spent a lot of time in the Ilkley half, but couldn't produce a single score.
The wet conditions did not suit Ribb, but the home pack certainly revelled in them.
Ilkley's number eight Stuart Brewer scored two tries from line-outs after stand-off Josh Kimber had kicked for the corner.
Ilkley also scored a well-worked try from lock Steve Burns on the stroke of half time. Kimber was successful with two of the conversions.
Ribb had the wind and rain at their backs in the second half.
They used the conditions to create a lot of pressure, but for the second time this season they failed to score a point against an Ilkley team they have held the Indian sign over in recent years.
On one of the rare occasions that Ilkley visited the Ribb half, their flanker Gus Ramsay scored after a drive from a line-out. Kimber again converted.
There were spirited runs from skipper Jonathan Richards, Ryan Gill and Matt Speres but the Ilkley defence stood firm.
Ribb's backs tended to play too laterally while the makeshift front five were unable to give them the ball-carrying support they needed because they were tired from holding the big Ilkley pack .
There were plusses from Ribb. Young scrum half Peter Cook made one searing break in the first half, while Ryan Gill showed touches of class. Luke Mellin battled away in the unfamiliar tighthead position up against one of the best props in the league. Josh McFarlane had another good game at full back.
The recent weather conditions have proved a real dampener for Ribb. They do not have the bulk to compete with the bigger packs in muddy conditions.
It is simply not an option to run the opposition around.
Ribb face another tough game on Saturday when they host Yorkshire One leaders Dinnington and the weather conditions aren't forecast to

Short Story Pick-of-the-MonthOctober 14, 2009 • 1 Comment • category: Excerpts
Today's post is coming to you courtesy of Kathy Pories, Senior Editor at Algonquin and Senior Editor of our annual New Stories from the South series (now in its 19th year!). She gets to soak up loads of short stories when making selections for the series and once a month she'll share a favorite with us right here. And now, without further ado, here's Kathy…
Many reviewers have pointed out that this year's New Stories from the South trains its focus on Katrina and its aftermath. While this is true for many of the stories, the anthology also includes stories that are not related to Katrina in any way, but are simply standout stories. Steve Marion's "Touch Touch Me," for example. In this story told by a lonely overweight reporter, he and a friend manage to pick up two ex-convict women and end up in the unlikeliest of places, a deserted supermarket. It's there that we finally understand how this reporter sees himself in one of the convicts–and where the cryptic title of the story suddenly becomes clear.
Gerald said it was fun to drive by the jail on a Saturday night to see if any ladies had bailed out. He called it F-Blocking. Once he had driven Alexander County north to south and west to east and found it empty as ever, Gerald would say, We are liable to have to resort to F-Blocking.
Liable to, said a reporter, crinkling his can of beer.
Gerald was master of high jinks. It had been Gerald who rearranged the letters on the dress-shop sign to read thirty-nine kinds of tight ass. He had transformed this reporter into a reporter. Last month, this reporter was a bagger, bagging with Gerald at Food City, until the help ad was clipped and he began to ask, Have you applied yet? Have you gone down there yet? Are you a newshound yet?
No no no no, said a reporter until Gerald with his own car forced him into the inky air of the newspaper office and this reporter emerged assigned to the Connie Mack Tournament that weekend at the American Legion Field.
Remember, said Gerald, you don't say I. You say, A reporter. That is the first thing to learn about journalism. Everything else starts from that.
Gerald was up on journalism. He read the newspaper every day. He was up on all topics.
Look, said Gerald, waving the newspaper with Connie Mack inside. Lookahere.
But it may have been that summer with Gerald when a reporter chose his obesity. He may have selected a future of obscene fattitude, extraneous girth, additional gravity, because something was wrong, he was told later. Something was missing. But it did not seem so. But it may have been. A reporter, watching Gerald pop open the official brown bag of Food City, which his father had popped before him, may have made his choice, and not even known it. The man died at forty-eight, said Gerald. Died. People at Food City called Gerald Prince Gerald. He was manager apparent.
On the curb, between two empty patrol cars, stood a couple of girls. In F-Blocking, the idea was to find some who didn't have a ride, or, best of all, had a ride coming but if given the opportunity might choose a different ride. This, Gerald said, had produced memorable evenings in the past. This reporter could not see the girls very well in the dark. Gerald stopped, turned down the radio. They came up, one forwardly, the other cautiously. The forward one got hold of Gerald's door.
You all don't have a cigarette, do you? she said. She held her trembling hands against her chest as endearingly as a withdrawal baby.
Gerald kept a carton of cigarettes for F-Blocking. He was rendered open access to cartons of cigarettes through his Food City principality. In a few seconds, the girls were in the back seat smoking. Gerald went ahead and smoked, too, even though he didn't really smoke.
This looks kind of funny with the girls in the back and the boys in the front, Gerald said, slowing down. Switch with her, Marlin. By her it seemed he meant the one that talked, so a reporter opened his door but the cautious one had taken off running. She hadn't even waited for the car to stop. The forward one and Gerald went running after her. Gerald's cigarette bounced on the gravel. The tail of his sport coat flapped. It was a wide open field. This reporter felt big and empty as he ran, so absent everybody else ran through him and sped away like rabbits. The forward girl caught her partner and they swung round and round until they both bent over as if they were sick or very tired. Gerald had stopped way behind. He was winded. He had the beginnings of a gut but he wore it high enough that it seemed athletic and he was always very clean as if just from a shower. A reporter had barely made it off the road. Gerald watched them as if this were the best evening of the season. He turned around and stage-whispered, Thing One and Thing Two. At first, the cautious girl slung her arm wearily as if shaking off a pesky insect, but the forward girl moved closer to her and pulled a little the way a pony is straightened and finally they both came back toward us. The cautious girl was trembling and the trembles would grow into waves of shaking. Her teeth chattered in the middle of summer.
Let's all tell our stories, said Gerald after we were back on the road.
They ain't much to tell, said the girl in the seat next to him. But she said it as if there were really very very much to be told. You go, Penny.
I ain't going, said Penny.
I knowed she wouldn't, said the forward girl. She was not more attractive than Penny, but more sparkly. This reporter deduced that she was the kind of girl who wouldn't stay still. You all go.
Penny, said Gerald. Oh, Penny, when you came and you gave what I'd taken. But I sent you away, oh Penny.
I think that is Mandy, said a reporter.
I don't know where to start, said the forward girl, as if she had never received such a generous offer.
Her name is Anita, said Penny.
I could start there.
I'll start, said Gerald. My motto is, Quit the grinning and shed the linen. He was looking in the rearview mirror, as if to gauge Penny's reaction, but he said, You all know anybody with one headlight?
They were quiet. This reporter noted the lack of backward looks.
The one headlight had come up very close, so close that its light picked up Penny's hair and showed her skin, so close it seemed to have heat. Gerald took off flying. Preacher Road had a long straight part through the flatwoods. The flatwoods flipped all around. Inside, a reporter felt bent over and trembling like Penny. The car went so fast his weightlessness made a reporter remember how little he knew Gerald. A bunch of nights tiding around Alexander County, some bag-popping, an invitation to sports journalism, was all. He was interested in history. But he seemed as if he needed something, some nutrient, that he was supposed to have gotten when he was a little child, but now he wasn't taking it from anybody.
Much better, said Gerald, slowing down.
The headlight was gone, but a reporter's heart still flew. He saw a black railroad trestle over water. Anita had helped herself to a beer. A reporter wished he could get drunk like a normal person. It would have helped in a case like this, but he had discovered that he could not. It was as if he had a race inside and nothing, especially not beer, could slow it down. He would drink of the beer and a picture appeared of his Mama and his Daddy, not a still picture but one in which they could be seen blinking and moving slightly, even scratching, though they stood posed as if in a still picture, and his Mama and Daddy, with whom he still resided, would not leave him to enter drunkenness. Gerald, with his Daddy dead at forty-eight and his Mama with whom he ate lunch every day, took hours to get drunk and many, many beers, but finally he would be drunk. A reporter never could reach it, and now with two F-Block girls and one headlight the race was even worse and his wish to get drunk even harder upon him.
Babe is catatonic, said Gerald. Don't get catatonic on us, Babe. Look at him.
Anita turned around and hung over the back of the seat.
Aw, she crooned.
I'm all right, said a reporter.
How come you call him Babe? Anita asked.
Look at what a Babe he is, said Gerald. Babe is a big journalist. He works for the paper.
Oh God, said Anita. He ain't going to put us in the paper, is he?
He might, said Gerald.
h God, said Anita. I'm jealous. Penny got the best one.
What paper? said Penny, dismissively.
The Alexander County Plain Talk, said Gerald.
That ain't no paper, said Penny.
Anyways, said Anita, settling back in her seat in the correct direction, I got one of them bad moles. They done told me and ever since they did I been scared half to death.
Anita! Penny called out as if water were carrying her away.
It's okay, said Anita.
It was quiet for a few seconds.
You ain't kidding, are you? said Gerald.
I wisht to hell I was.
What did they tell you?
I done told you what they told me.
I mean what else did they tell you?
That they didn't know how long I had. Not knowing how long I have is the worst part.
Can't they do nothing?
I don't know. I didn't go back. I ain't got no money.
Plus you were scared, said Gerald.
Gerald became quiet again the way he did when something interested him deeply. Anita opened another beer.
They got treatments and stuff, Gerald said finally.
I ain't got no treatment-and-stuff money, said Anita.
We could raise the money, said Gerald. We could do it at the store. We could put your picture on a jar and have everybody that came in give a dollar.
What store?
Or more than a dollar if they can, said Gerald. Food City.
You work at Food City?
We both do.
I thought Babe worked for the paper.
He has a day job.
I figured he did, said Penny.
You'll help us, won't you, Babe? Gerald said. Babe can sing. We could have a benefit with all proceeds going toward treatment.
Sing something, Babe, said Anita.
How great thou art, this reporter sang. How great thou art.
He stretched out the last thou.
Damn, said Anita.
Babe can call a game, too, said Gerald. You ought to hear him call a game. We could have us a benefit ball game with Babe calling the plays.
I don't know nothing about sports, said Anita. She turned around again to look, longer this time, long enough for several lights to slide beneath the skin of her face and emerge from her hair, long enough to suggest that she and this reporter were of the same kind. Though she knew nothing of sport and this reporter could not forget anything of it, they were kin, kin enough, probably, for her to know The Fact, and she stared at him with a fondness discounted by kinship, and a reporter stared back asking with his eyes if she could really know his Fact, the one whose origin even he did not know, and he felt her answer, Yes, because her mole put them in the same family.
It seemed as if a reporter had been born knowing The Fact. It must have been told to him very early, by a heart doctor, or by his Mama in one of the times she tried to talk to him. It could have been taken out from under his Daddy's bed like a weapon. However he knew The Fact he knew best how to avoid it. From The Fact he turned. He backpedaled. Spun, head-faked. Knew not even that he knew The Fact. If all of life whirls round it, never touching it, is there even a Fact at all? Isn't the whirl it made the real part?
What are you going to do with your life, Babe? Anita said.
Get fat, a reporter replied.
She giggled. They came out at Jack's. The girls exited like long-distance travelers and went in Jack's bathroom.
Attaboy, said Jack. He meant the girls. He was standing at the counter watching a tiny television. Everybody loved Jack. He used to be a county judge.
We picked them up at the jail, said Gerald.
Ah shit? Jack said.
They bonded out, said Gerald.
Jack said, Ah shit, but it was because he had hit the wrong key on the cash register. He began to figure it upon a pad. Gerald gave him the money and handed the beer to a reporter. Attaboy, Jack said.
I should have waited to see if the girls need something, said Gerald.
Jack looked confused as if neither of his two phrases applied.
Ah shit, a reporter said.
A truck with one headlight was parked next to us in the gravel lot.
What the fuck do you think you are doing? said a man next to the truck.
What the fuck do you think you are doing? said Gerald.
The man pushed Gerald and Gerald pushed the man back and they started fighting. They were down in the gravels. Suddenly the girls were out and Anita was kicking fighters. She would wait a second and backup and try to aim for the right one and the man was getting kicked way more than Gerald. One of the kicks got him right in the face and he jerked back and quit. Anita ran back to the car on her tiptoes as if her feet were sore. She had lost one shoe. It had gone flying off her kicking foot, but not when she kicked. Instead, it had flown off backward in her windup. When Gerald and the man separated, the man was bleeding hard from his nose and mouth. You bunch of fucking bastards he hollered and blood splattered out. Jack had come out with his ball bat.
You fucked my teeth, said the man, trying to open his truck door. Fuck you fuckers.
Fuck yourself! Gerald hollered.
The man jumped back in his truck and tore out, throwing gravels all over the car. One stung a reporter in the lip. A squeal came out like a girl's. Gerald had his arms raised in a gesture of surrender toward Jack.
Attaboy? asked Gerald.
Ah shit, said Jack.
In the car, Gerald was breathing hard and had dirt all over his sport coat, which had one lapel turned up.
Did you see me fight? Gerald asked. I was fighting that guy. It was one hell of a fight. That fucker. Who was he?
I don't know, said Anita.
As he drove, Gerald and Anita started laughing hard. They would quit for a few seconds and then one would giggle and the other would start back up. Before long all were laughing so hard it hurt.
Babe is injured, said Anita. She was pointing to a reporter's lip.
How great thou art, he sang. How . . . great . . . thou . . . art.
In a break in the laughter, Anita hopped over and gave Gerald a big kiss.
What was that for? he asked, and she said, I don't know. I guess I put a big wet rag on everything.
No you didn't, said Gerald.
Ah shit, a reporter said.
Attaboy, said Gerald.
On a balmy night in August, a reporter announced, the group of four would go one on one against the world. The world and its fucker. With the fucker of one headlight they would grapple, and the outcome would remain unknown until the final seconds. Would it be the thrill of Attaboy? Or the agony of Ah shit?
Everybody howled, except for Penny, whose stomach seemed to be worse. Gerald pulled behind Food City, where the big trucks backed and idled. The store was closed but he had a key to the heavy back door. Inside in the dark, Gerald found the light switch and the lights popped and hummed. Penny was skinnier than expected and older. Skinny Penny, a reporter thought. Anita had large almond eyes with no rims around them. She was deathly skinny herself.
Are you hungry? Gerald asked a reporter.
I could eat, he said.
Get the box, said Gerald.
Gerald and a reporter kept a box of cakes and candies that had been discarded. The girls were amazed. It was a large box. A reporter lofted a double sweet roll with cherry.
That makes me sick to look at, said Penny, holding her stomach, which pooched out even though she was so skinny
A reporter slid off the wrapper and began to eat. Penny looked as if she would puke. She and a reporter had not made friends the way Gerald and Anita had.
Strolling through each aisle of the store in its half-light, the girls looked at everything and the smells of the store were the same smells of daytime and childhood. Penny took a bottle of Pepto, and Anita selected a jumbo Slim Jim jerky. Gerald got some Carmex for a reporter's lip. It was a time of mirth.
What I remember the most about Daddy, Gerald said, was something he would say. He'd say he got into it with so and so, and he thought they were going to have to take it to the road. That meant he thought he was going to have to whip somebody's ass.
Gerald was standing still.
We took it to the road, didn't we? Anita said, chewing.
Gerald didn't say anything, but he had heard.
We took it to the road in memory of your dad.
In the back, he clicked open his boxcutter and sliced a cardboard mat for us to eat upon.
They said I write too much, a reporter said. They have to cut it back.
Gerald gave a look of amazement. Can't write too much, he said. He turned on a radio. It was much easier to hear than it was when the store was open.
Anita, said Gerald, where is your mole?
He asked it in a salesmanlike way. Anita swallowed. A reporter could not distinguish whether she was upset because she had forgotten it in the mirth or if she had to think of a place where it could be.
Anita turned around and pulled up her shirt but she couldn't hold her arm long so she had Penny take over. We all looked. It was right on one of the knobs of her backbone. It seemed to have fallen down within the skin as if the skin were not substance but air or cloud. A reporter felt as if he had been closed into a too tiny room.
It's blue, Gerald said.
Tears dropped off Penny's cheeks and hit the cardboard. I'm scared to death, she said.
Gerald got the Polaroid that was used to take the employee of the month and had Penny stand up next to the wall. She wiped off her tears and smiled. The picture slid out and she wanted to see it.
Let's go get them jars, said Gerald.
They went off to look and left a reporter and Penny alone and he didn't know what to do because she was crying and shaking again. If she tried to talk, her teeth chattered. So a reporter unsheathed another cherry sweet roll. Tonight, he wanted to eat on top of eating. It was like swinging a sword. Penny kept saying something and gradually he figured out it was the word me and finally he saw that it was, Look me.
Look me? a reporter said.
She had kicked off her shoes and taken off her pants and shirt to reveal her bones. Look me over for one of them moles, she said.
I can't do that, a reporter said.
I ain't taking off my panties, she said.
But she took off her panties. For a second, a reporter was proud. A girl had taken off her clothes, including her panties, right in front of him. It was a first. He thought for a girl to take off her clothes she had to like him, and he didn't like her back, so that made him feel blessed for a second. Another thought he had was of Daddy's magazine. He didn't hide it. It lay on the coffee table each month until Mama finally threw it away. But the bones in front of this reporter bore little resemblance. She had turned over on the cardboard. Start on my back, she said, shivering. My back is what I'm afraid of. I can't see my back. Ribs cut through her back, too. A reporter leaned down. smelled like beer, cigarettes, and Pepto.
Don't touch me, she said, chattering.
Don't worry, a reporter replied.
I mean you can touch me. Don't touch touch me.
A reporter felt the emptiness of looking. It made him want to eat. He touched her and her flesh. She kept asking, Do you see anything? Do you see anything? They are so much I can't see. He told her no. He put his fingers in the slots of her ribs and they were almost too big to fit. He tried his hands all over her, but they were still empty.
Look in the back of my head, she said. They can get in your hair.
This next part a reporter remembered years later when his Daddy took him into the basement to weigh him on the feed scale. He had bought the feed scale expressly for this purpose. If a reporter was going to fatten to this hilarious size, by God he was going to be weighed. He was going to see to it. What happened was a reporter was draped over her. Years later, aboard the feed scale, he could still feel her breath blow out as if from a birthday balloon, and his whole self, including future girth, washing over her. I need to hold her down, he thought. I need to absorb her. At first, she tried to lie still as if he were conducting another part of the scan, some part she knew nothing about but needed, but then she tried to squirm and roll so a reporter had to hold on tight. He was lifted off, the way a crane lifts very heavy things, and she scrambled up naked and Anita was standing there with an armload of empty jars like a cluster of bubbles.
What are you all doing? she said.
Penny sobbed and sucked hard between sobs. I wanted him to look me for them moles, she said, but he got all over me.
Honey, it's your own fault, said Anita. You can't do like that.
She didn't want him to, said Gerald, turning away. Let's let her get dressed.
Penny got her clothes. They were impossibly small. A reporter tried to give her some sweet roll. He touched it right to her mouth but she turned her head away.

The Power of a Radically Affordable Irrigation Pump
One of the more transformative technologies ever developed for the world's poor farmers is a water-lifting device called a treadle pump. It looks and operates much like a Stairmaster exercise machine that you'd find in a gym. But the dollar-a-day farmers who use these devices are not trying to lose pounds; they're trying to…

A federal appeals court may be poised to void a decision by Gov. Jan Brewer to deny driver's licenses to "dreamers" the Obama administration has allowed to stay and work in this country.
During a 45-minute hearing last month, Judge Marsha Berzon repeatedly chided Tim Berg, the governor's lawyer, for his contention that those denied licenses are not being irreparably harmed. She said the testimony of the five plaintiffs in the case show that their lives have been affected.
Berg told the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the plaintiffs said they do manage to get to work and school. And he said there is evidence that some are actually driving.
Berzon said that argument makes no sense.
"For many reasons it seems strange for the state to be standing up here and saying, well, this is all not a problem for people to work because they can just drive illegally," she said.
"There are problems for everybody else in your state if you have people driving around illegally," Berzon said. "And you're just saying they can just break the law."
The issue is crucial because Victor Viramontes, attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, has to show his clients are suffering "irreparable harm" if he is to convince the appellate judges to enjoin Brewer denying licenses to the dreamers, at least while the issue is litigated in federal court in Phoenix.
Berg acknowledged that there was testimony from one person who said there are jobs she would have applied for but cannot because of the lack of a legal driver's license. But he said the record shows she had another job.
"So what?" Berzon shot back. "Because she's not starving, she doesn't have irreparable harm?"
Berg pointed out that U.S. District Judge David Campbell, in refusing to grant an injunction, said he found no irreparable harm, including from driving without a license. That provoked an angry response from Judge Harry Pregerson.
"They're living in fear all the time," he told Berg.
"Don't you understand that?" Pregerson continued. "That's what it's all about."
Hanging in the balance is the enforceability of Brewer's 2012 executive order declaring that those in the federal program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, are not entitled to licenses.
The program allows those who meet certain qualifications to stay for two years –permission that is renewable – and be issued documents allowing them to work. The most recent figures from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services show that more than 20,000 Arizonans have applied and nearly 17,000 already have been accepted into the program.
But the state Department of Transportation, on order from Brewer, is refusing to issue licenses to anyone in the DACA program.
Brewer is citing a 1996 state law that says licenses are available solely to those "whose presence in this country is "authorized by federal law." The governor takes the position an administrative decision by the president and the Department of Homeland Security not to deport them does not make their presence "authorized," even if they are given work papers.
That issue goes to the question of whether the Arizona law – or at least Brewer's interpretation of it – is preempted by federal law.
Viramontes argued that the law – or at least Brewer's interpretation of it –interferes with the prerogative of the president to decide how to enforce immigration laws.
But Berzon pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security has never claimed those who are granted DACA status are entitled to state-issued driver's licenses. She questioned whether that allows Arizona to decide whether those in the program meet the state's legal requirements.
Viramontes countered that the Arizona statute on which Brewer is relying specifically refers to authorization under federal law. He told the three-judge panel that limits Arizona's ability to draw its own conclusions.
Berg had his own take on DACA recipients.
"They are here illegally," he said.
Berg said the only thing DACA status means is that the Department of Homeland Security is not going to attempt to have them deported, and he said Arizona can regulate who operates a motor vehicle in the state.
"Driving is a privilege," Berg said. "The state has chosen to categorize the people to whom it extends that privilege."
Berg conceded under questioning from Berzon there are limits on the state's right to decide who can drive: He said it is unlikely Arizona could deny licenses to "resident aliens," those who are not citizens but who the federal government has said are here legally.
Federal preemption aside, that still leaves the question of the harm to DACA recipients from not being able to legally drive. Berg said they do get around, whether driving illegally, being driven by others or using public transportation.
"If somebody took your driver's license away and told you to take the bus, you don't think you'd be irreparably harmed?" Berzon asked him.
"I think I would be horribly inconvenienced, your honor," he responded. "But I don't think I would be irreparably harmed."
Berzon seemed unconvinced.
"You're harmed, and it's irreparable," she said.
Judge Morgan Christen did get Berg to admit Arizona could not legally say that DACA recipients, given federal permission to work, could not hold a job in Arizona.
"When you're saying somebody can't drive, you're essentially saying they can't work," Christen said, given the urban sprawl and limited mass transit in Arizona. "And many people can't get jobs without a license."
Berg reiterated his point that people are driving without a license, saying there's no evidence anyone is being denied the legal ability to work.
"I don't think this court should presume it's true just because it seems intuitive to you," he told the judges.
"We shouldn't assume it's true because it is true," Pregerson shot back.
"With all due respect, your honor, we disagree about that," Berg said.
"That's all right," Pregerson responded. "I don't need your respect."

Wednesday the rain poured down threatening to wash out the photowalk in Monterey that was being hosted by Trey Ratcliff of StuckInCustoms.com. The prospect of that didn't bother me and my mind was made up to drive to Monterey early in the morning since the photowalk wasn't scheduled to begin until 9:30. As it turned out not a drop of rain came down during the two hours we spent photographing along cannery row and Monterey wharf.
There were about 40 of us and Erik & Gretchen from Lytro brought a dozen or more Lytro cameras for the photowalkers to try out. These little boxes are so simple and they house a new technology of infinite focus AFTER the shot is taken. Yeah, what's that about? Well it's very interesting and you can see how this works because they uploaded some of the photos off the cameras on the Lytro website so anybody can see them. Here, try it out yourself. Click different parts of the image and the focus actually changes to that point. It's really very intriguing!
By the time the pack of photowalkers had meandered down as far as the wharf, the sky had cleared up quite a lot. We went down to the beach and that's where I got this shot. Handheld, bracketed plus & minus 2 stops then processed using Trey's new secret workflow with the new Lightroom 4 that he talked about that day.

Microsoft shares drop as Q1 estimates lowered
But growth expected across whole of fiscal 2002
Microsoft's shares have dropped five per cent on the news that its next quarter results will be lower than expected. Analyst figures suggested $7 billion in revenue but Microsoft has put it at around $6 billion to $6.2 billion. However, it expects increased growth for the whole year.
Announcing its annual results, the software giant said that sales were still strong - Windows 2000 Professional in particular - but fiscal 2001 has seen weak growth in PC sales. As for next year: "We expect PC demand to be flat in fiscal 2002 and then to improve," said CFO John Connors.
The fourth quarter results were as Microsoft announced last week: revenue up 13 per cent (year-on-year) to $6.6 billion (£4.7 billion); operating income up 7.4 per cent to $2.7 billion but net income reduced to $66 million thanks to a $2.6 billion charge for "investment impairments".
As for the year, total revenues were up 10 per cent to $25.3 billion; net income down (again thanks to the charge) to $7.3 billion from $9.4 billion last year.
However, the projected revenue for 2002 is between $28.8 billion and $29.5 billion, an increase of around 15 per cent over 2001. This will be mostly due to the release of MS' new products: Office XP, Windows XP, the Xbox console and new elements of .NET.
The city is not renowned for its long-term view however and the Q1 revenue warning saw shares drop over $3 to $69.20. Share price had speculatively gone up the day before by $2, so in effect they have dropped $1.
"We reported another quarter of strong revenue growth and operating income results. Even in this challenging economic environment, we saw solid customer enthusiasm for our broad array of products and services, which drove positive growth across all our businesses," said Connors.
He has a point. Just about every IT company has released poor results this year, with many laying off large numbers of staff. Microsoft has warned of a 12 per cent drop in revenue for this quarter. ®

Following a vegetarian diet is far easier than it used to be. With the great variety of vegetarian food now available, many people now enjoy this nutritious and tasty way of eating.
What is a vegetarian diet?If you're a vegetarian, you don't eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustaceans like crabs, or slaughter by-products like gelatine. Instead, you plump for grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables. You might also not eat dairy products, honey or eggs and so follow a Vegan diet.
Many foods contain ingredients derived from the slaughter of animals. Check that you know what you're looking for:Gelatine is made from animal ligaments, tendons, bones, etc. Alternatives include agar agar, carrageen and gelozone.Certain food additives (E numbers) may also be derived from animal sources. Rennet is used in the cheese-making process. Vegetarian cheese is produced using microbial or fungal enzymes.
Is a Vegetarian Diet healthy?More people are turning vegetarian simply because many of the foods involved are low-fat and high-fibre. According to the British Medical Association, vegetarians have lower rates of obesity, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, large bowel disorders and cancers, and gallstones. However if you are a vegetarian you do need to watch out that you don't eat too much of something you really like, or neglect a vital food group.
ProteinEating a mixture of plant protein foods will give you the proteins you need. Good sources of protein are milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, beans, tofu, lentils, peas, nuts, seeds, soya products and Quorn.
Try these tasty combinations:
Pasta with lentil BolognesePorridge with soya milkTofu and vegetable stir fry with rice Quorn chilli with ricePeanut butter sandwich Beans on Toast
IronOmitting meat may result in lower intakes of iron and zinc and increased risk of iron deficiency anaemia. However, there is evidence that the body adapts over time so the risk is small for long term vegetarians. Eating Vitamin C rich foods at the same time as iron rich foods greatly improves iron absorption. Iron is found in wholemeal bread, whole grains, nuts, pulses, green vegetables (broccoli, watercress), fortified breakfast cereals, seeds and dried fruit.
Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 is found in soya milk, dairy products, eggs, tofu and fortified foods (e.g. yeast extract, breakfast cereals and soya burger mixes).
CalciumGood foods for calcium are fortified soya milk, dairy products, sunflower and sesame seeds, spinach, broccoli, almonds and brazil nuts.
Omega 3Non-fish sources include soya bean and rapeseed oil, linseeds, walnuts, sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds, tofu and omega 3 rich eggs.

Raspberry Orange Sorbet
- 3 cup(s) raspberries
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 1/2 cup(s) water
- 1/4 teaspoon oil, orange
- 2 tablespoon liqueur, berry-flavored
For best consistency, all ingredients should be chilled. Puree raspberries and strain through a fine sieve. Combine puree with other ingredients and stir for several minutes until all sugar is dissolved. Transfer berry mixture to ice cream freezer and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon berry sorbet into covered air-tight container and freeze at least two hours to harden.
ICE TRAY METHOD - If you do not have an ice cream freezer, here's an alternate method:
1. Pour the berry mixture into a shallow pan so that the mixture is no more than 2" deep. An 8" cake pan, bread loaf pan or an ice cube tray with slats removed all make suitable containers.
2. Cover with foil and freeze about 1 ½ to 2 hours - mixture will be almost firm, but still soft and pliable. (If you've waited a little too long, simply allow to thaw on counter a few minutes before cutting.)
3. Remove from freezer, cut into chunks and transfer to mixing bowl. Beat with hand mixer just until slushy and smooth.
4. Return to original pan, cover with foil and freeze until firm - at least two hours.
Remove sorbet from freezer about 15 to 20 minutes before serving time, and place in refrigerator to soften before scooping.

SAITAMA — Coach K said it was a disappointing loss, but the Americans began a long journey with the setback.
"Obviously, Greece did a tremendous job," United States coach Mike Krzyzewski reluctantly said after his team's 101-95 loss to Greece, last year's EuroBasket champion, in the FIBA World Championship semifinals.
Without a question, the U.S. team came to Japan with gold-medal aspirations, having assembled the team early and held camps and tuneup games since June.
And unlike in the past, Team USA had role players alongside its superstars — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony were the big names, but Shane Battier, Brad Miller and Kirk Hinrich were big factors in the American equation.
It wasn't enough, however. Not enough to win the whole thing with just two-month training period at the world-wide level.
Krzyzewski said that the U.S.'s basketball infrastructure presented some obstacles against Greece, a team without any NBA household names that killed the American giant.
"Greece has a good youth (basketball) program," he said. "We don't have something like that in our country.
"Hopefully, we can get our country behind us like that."
Yet, the U.S.'s program has just started. Under the leadership of Jerry Colangelo, managing director of the 2006-08 USA Basketball senior national team, it made a firm three-year plan to utilize the same personnel and coaching staff through the Beijing Olympics in 2008, making stars like James, Wade and Anthony play on the national team until then.
After the loss, Team USA was keeping its eyes on that future.
"To lose any game, it is a shock to us," said Anthony, who had the game-high 27 points on Friday. "Yes, we're disappointed. But it's not the end of the world.
"Mr. Jerry Colangelo put a good team together. We made a commitment (to the national team) for three years."
Team USA failed to take gold at the FIBA championship for three straight tournaments, last winning it all in Toronto in 1994, making it all the more obvious that winning a world championship goes beyond superhuman athletic ability. Team play and tactics are just as important in basketball.
Coach K knows it is the key for the U.S. to get back on top again, on its "long journey."
"Our guys played together as one, but they hadn't played like that for a long time," said Krzyzewski, adding he would take the responsibility for the loss. "We learned a lot today. We better learn the international game better."

Below is a list of books I have read. It is a short list at the moment as it only includes 2007 because I didn't start keeping track online until, well, 2007. I have lists going back on paper to somewhere around 1999, but unless extra time materializes from somewhere, they will remain on paper.
Titles on the list are linked to the post in which I discussed the book.

Eastwood is an unincorporated community in Kalamazoo Charter Township, Kalamazoo County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is a census-designated place (CDP) for statistical purposes and does not have any legal status as an incorporated municipality. The population was 6,265 at the 2000 census.
The Eastwood CDP includes an area to the northeast of the city of Kalamazoo and east of the city of Parchment. The area defined as the CDP may not correspond exactly with local understanding of the Eastwood neighborhood. The CDP may include nearby areas that locals would not necessarily identify as Eastwood.

Celebrate sunshine and spring skiing at Arapahoe Basin. Make a difference to children, the environment, and your family by joining in one of a handful of special-event days going on now through the end of April.
March 4 marks the Children's Hospital Burn Camp Fundraiser. Cheer on members of the Colorado Fire Protection Association as they race down the slopes to raise funds for the Children's Hospital Burn Center. Teams of five negotiate a 15-gate slalom course for time. Each team member wears a fire department bunker helmet and jacket and is positioned along a 50-foot small-diameter fire hose. The race begins at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.
The 3rd Annual Save Our Snow Celebration takes place April 9. A-Basin Ski Area has committed to providing quality outdoor recreation experiences as stewards of an exceptional mountain environment. Make your way to A-Basin for a fun-filled day of environmental education. All proceeds benefit the High Country Conservation Center.
One of A-Basin's longest standing events is the 22nd Annual Enduro. Skiers and riders make laps on the Pallavicini (Pali) chair from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. without stopping. The current record stands at 71 runs. All proceeds from the event benefit a local charity yet to be determined.
April 20 is the Local's Day Big Air Competition followed by the famous Beach Day and Egg Hunt April 24. Summit County local radio station, KSMT The Mountain, throws a huge party to celebrate the die-hard locals. Local's Day includes a Big Air and Style Competition, barbeque, live music, and scavenger hunt with prizes such as a 2011-12 A-Basin Season Pass, gift certificates to local businesses and restaurants, and a Sam Adams mini-fridge.
The Easter Bunny joins the kids at A-Basin for an Easter Egg Hunt on skis. Both skiing and non-skiing children can participate. The Easter Bunny arrives at noon just outside the Snowsports Center. Egg hunts take place on Molly Hogan for those on foot, and on Wrangler for those skiing.
Don't put away your ski and snowboard equipment quite so fast. Arapahoe Basin often stays open until early June, depending on weather and conditions.

I am a recent (BS in Electrical Engineering and BS in Computer Engineering) graduate from the University of Michigan, who was also recently released from an automotive wire harness supplier. I am looking for leads/information regarding an industry change into alternative energies (and "green jobs" in general). Are there any certifications, courses, clubs/organizations, etc. that may benefit my career change? Do they require any "previous experience?" I have customer service, military avionics, automotive (Bosch) quality technician, utility pole field technician, and automotive systems engineering experience.

Section 13. Continuing Education Requirement
Reporters certified pursuant to this rule must acquire thirty (30) continuing education credits every three years through activities approved by the Board or a committee of the Board. Such three year period shall be known as the "reporting period." Each reporting period shall begin on January 1 and extend through December 31 three years hence. The reporting period for reporters newly certified pursuant to this Rule shall begin January 1 following certification by the Board. If a reporter acquires, during such reporting period, approved continuing education in excess of (30) thirty hours, the excess credit may be carried forward and applied to the education requirement for the succeeding reporting period only. The maximum number of continuing education hours one may carry forward is ten (10).
A continuing education credit is presumed to be 60 minutes in length. However, the Board in its discretion may grant greater or lesser credits per hour of education as each individual program may warrant. Court reporters certified pursuant to this rule who maintain a residence address outside the State of Arkansas are subject to this requirement. However, continuing education activities approved by the appropriate authority in their resident jurisdiction shall be applicable to this requirement.
To establish compliance with this continuing education requirement the Board may accept continuing education hours acquired to meet the continuing education requirements of the National Court Reporters Association or the National Verbatim Reporters Association.
Exceptions to Requirement.
In cases where extreme hardship or extenuating circumstances are shown, the Board may grant a waiver of the continuing education requirement or extensions of time within which to fulfill the requirements. Such waivers or extensions shall be considered only upon written request from the certificate holder. As a condition of any waiver or extension, the Board may set such terms and conditions as may be appropriate under the circumstances.
Any reporter certified pursuant to this rule who attains age 65 or 30 years of certification, during any reporting period, is exempt from all requirements of this rule for that reporting period as well as all subsequent reporting periods.
At any time during a reporting period a reporter may take inactive status as it pertains to the continuing education requirement of this rule. Inactive status means that a reporter will not practice court reporting until such time as the reporter returns to active status. Election of inactive status must be in writing. Election of inactive status must be annually renewed and the Board shall provide a form for renewal of inactive status. Such annual renewal shall be filed with the Board on or before March 31 of each year subsequent to the year of election of inactive status. For the purpose of this paragraph court reporting means "verbatim reporting" as defined in Section 1 of the "Regulations of the Board of Certified Court Reporter Examiners" and, verbatim reporting regardless of the context, including administrative or regulatory proceedings and non-judicial proceedings. A reporter may return to active status at any time upon written notice to the Board. In such case the reporter shall be subject to the thirty hour requirement of this rule for the reporting period beginning the following January 1.
Continuing Education Activities Content.
Continuing education credit may be obtained by attending or participating in Board approved seminars, conventions, or workshops, or other activities approved by the Board. To be approved for continuing education credit the activity must: be presented by individuals who have the necessary experience or academic skills to present the activity; include quality written materials; and, the course must be subject to evaluation. The continuing education activity must contribute directly to the competence and professionalism of court reporters. The Board is authorized to approve continuing education activities which include but are not limited to the following subject areas: language; academic knowledge; statutes and regulations; reporting technology and business practice; and, ethical practices-professionalism.
Administrative Procedures.
The Board shall be the authority for approval of continuing education programs. Such authority may be delegated by the Board to a committee. It is presumed that program approval will be sought and determined well in advance of the educational activity. However, the Board or its committee may approve an educational activity after the event.
The Board is authorized to develop appropriate forms and other administrative procedures as necessary to efficiently administer this continuing education requirement.
The Board shall require that reporters certified pursuant to this rule maintain and provide such records as necessary to establish compliance with this continuing education requirement. The Board may also require that sponsors provide evidence of attendance at programs in such form as the Board may direct.
On or before January 31 after the conclusion of the immediately preceding reporting period, the Board shall provide a final report by first class mail to reporters whose reporting period concluded the preceding December 31. The number of continuing education credits stated on the final report shall be presumed correct unless the reporter notifies the Board otherwise. In the event the final report shows that the reporter has failed to acquire 30 continuing education credits for the applicable reporting period, the reporter shall be in noncompliance with the requirements of this rule.
In the event of noncompliance, the certificate of the affected reporter shall be subject to suspension as set forth in the following section. Prior to initiation of suspension proceedings, the Board shall provide notice to allow the reporter to achieve compliance. Board approved continuing education credits obtained subsequent to the relevant reporting period and prior to a vote of suspension shall be accepted in order to cure noncompliance. However, such hours will be subject to a late filing fee in an amount not to exceed $100.00.
Suspension of License - Reinstatement.
Section 7 of this rule - "Discipline" and Section 19 of the "Regulations of the Board of Certified Court Reporter Examiners" shall govern suspension or revocation proceedings for failure to comply with the continuing education requirements set out in Section 13 of this rule.
After a Board vote of suspension or revocation of a certificate, the Board shall notify the affected reporter by way of certified mail, restricted delivery, return receipt requested. In addition, the Board shall file the order of suspension with the Clerk of this Court and provide such other notice as the Board may consider appropriate.
A reporter whose certificate has been suspended pursuant to this Section who desires reinstatement shall file a petition for reinstatement with the Board. The petition shall be properly acknowledged by a notary public or an official authorized to take oaths. It shall be in such form as the Board may direct. The petitioner may request a hearing before the Board. Upon appropriate notice and hearing, the Board may take action on the petition for reinstatement. In the event the certificate is reinstated, the Board may set additional educational requirements, including successful completion of a certification examination, as a condition of reinstatement and may assess reinstatement fees in an amount not to exceed $250.00.
History: Amended and effective January 15, 2009; Sections 7(a), (i) and 8(b)(4) amended by per curiam order April 14, 2011.

DELTONA, Fla. - A woman broke into her ex-fiance's Deltona home Monday morning and attacked his new girlfriend who was in bed with him, Volusia County sheriff's deputies said.
Kelly Custis, 27, a Lake Mary bartender, was arrested on charges of burglary with assault/battery.
According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, Custis entered the home of her ex-fiance, David Lewis, a 31-year-old Seminole County firefighter, around 5:30 a.m. and went into his bedroom.
Lewis said Custis turned on the lights and he saw her standing in the doorway, according to deputies, who added that Custis then attacked his girlfriend lying in bed with him.
Deputies said the girlfriend had scratches on her chest, arm and face and clumps of her hair were found on the floor. The girlfriend said Custis also tried to strangle her, a sheriff's report said.
Lewis said he and Custis broke up in August and she no longer lives there or had any belongings in the home. He said he changed the locks on the door after the split, but his roommate may have left the door unlocked, deputies said.
Custis was released later Monday from the Volusia County Jail on her own recognizance.
