		<title>COURT REPORTERS ARE NOT MACHINES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[COURT REPORTERS ARE NOT MACHINES
This post is in answer to Governor Schwarzenegger’s comments regarding court reporters being machines and easily replaceable.  Lisa Michaels, President of the Deposition Reporters Association of California, did a fantastic rebuttal to our Governor’s remarks about the record and how “court reporters are typists and old fashioned.”
I am proud of Chris [...]]]></description>

		<title>COURT REPORTING – THE WIZARD OF OZ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a young girl, I found the Wizard of Oz to be a very scary movie with the flying monkeys and witches attacking Dorothy.  Yet there was beauty and fun when Dorothy first landed in Oz and joy when she got back home.
Let’s pretend Dorothy was a court reporter, the flying monkeys and witches to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Court Reporting School &#8211; Hitting the Plateau and Moving On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some may consider me to be one of the lucky ones since I got out of court reporting school in less than two years and took my CSR (California Certified Shorthand Reporter) test 15 months after I began court reporting school and passed the test on my first try.  Why I write “may be considered [...]]]></description>

		<title>COURT REPORTERS – USE A SECOND SET OF EYES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have met some new reporters lately who seem to be having a hard time with punctuation.  When I write “new reporters,” I am talking about reporters who have been out in the field for five to ten years.  It seems to me with the consolidation of our industry, the commoditizing of our profession, some [...]]]></description>

		<title>The World Cup of Court Reporting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I was born, every four years I have had the World Cup be a part of my life.  In the ‘60s my Dad would watch the games on the Mexican stations since the U.S. stations didn’t carry the games.  We would hear “GOOOOAAAALLLLL” yelled by the television announcer, and my Dad would pump [...]]]></description>

		<title>Court Reporting &amp; Golf &#8211; The Similarities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was chatting with Chris Jordan, my husband, last night about my writing.  He was monitoring a text stream I was doing for a client via Remote Counsel.  Chris commented on how my writing reminds him of golfing.  I said, “What?”  He said he can tell I write differently than I did when he first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Court Reporters &#8211; Let&#8217;s Exercise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Court reporters spend hours and hours sitting, straining to hear, and are banging on the keyboard with thousands of strokes a day.  Court reporting is a strenuous career and can be tough on the body.  When I was in high school, I was diagnosed with having scoliosis and lordosis.  Lordosis is defined as an inward [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some of My Favorite Court Reporting Briefs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a court reporter from the old days, I have learned the importance of briefing words and phrases especially when writing realtime.  With briefs a court reporter makes fewer finger faults and can write with bursts of speed that will make your day a great one rather than “hanging on for dear life.”
When I went [...]]]></description>

		<title>Court Reporting Schools – My Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I have been receiving quite a few emails and tweets from students at different court reporter schools, online and brick-and-mortar schools.  There is a lot of worry about there being enough work when they finish their programs, get certified, and are professional court reporters.  I received a tweet today, “Is this a good industry [...]]]></description>
