2005 Honda S2000 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The four-wheel superbike gets a little more civilized.
The Honda S2000 is a two-seat roadster with the size of the small Mazda Miata and speed of the Porsche Boxster. It's a technological statement from Honda, which has no equal when it comes to pumping big horsepower out of small engines. Witness Honda's domination in the Indy Racing League, including its victory in the Indy 500 with a 3.0-liter engine producing 650 horsepower at 10,300 rpm.
The S2000 has earned a reputation as the sports car with an engine like a superbike motorcycle. Big horsepower from small displacement, with a narrow powerband and extremely high RPM. Nothing could match the original S2000 for exhilaration.
With the 2005 S2000 that still might be true, although it's been tamed a bit. The '05 remains basically unchanged from the '04, which brought refinements to the engine and suspension. Those refinements make it quicker and easier to drive, although the unique and exceptional rush that comes from seeing the tachometer needle reach 9000 rpm has been tempered to seeing a mere 8200. Which is still more than any other car we can think of, except the Mazda RX-8 with its rotary engine.
Other recent changes to the S2000 include 17-inch wheels, up from 16s; changed transmission gear ratios to improve acceleration; more shoulder and elbow room; and some body tweaks, most notably new headlights with a triple-beam design.
One model is available, which retails for $32,950 (plus $515 freight). The S2000 is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox; an automatic is not available. There are a few dealer-installed options available, including a removable hardtop, trunk spoiler, XM Satellite Radio and headrest speakers.
The way to be noticed in your S2000 is to rev to eight grand, of course; but people will still check the car out when it's standing still. For its basically small dimensions, it has the look of a bigger classic roadster. That's because of the long hood, which is a result of the engine being located behind the centerline of the front axle for better balance and handling. This design also leads to a striking short rear deck.
Speaking of striking, Spa Yellow is the color to choose if you want your S2000 to be noticed. Our test model was Suzuka Blue, a fairly ordinary steel blue, and it didn't do justice to the identity of the car.
The nose has been tweaked in the 2005 model with a softer bumper, and the new triple-beam HID headlights freshen it and make it look more contemporary. But the S2000's visual appeal still doesn't match its mechanical credentials. It looks a little slab-sided and plain compared to some other sports cars, in particular the radical BMW Z4, but the upside to that is more protection for the driver. The new 17-inch wheels are 10-spoke alloys, and they are gorgeous, framed nicely in the front by the flared fenders.
Air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, keyless remote entry, and tilt steering are all standard. There's a big red button for an ignition switch, and that's pretty cool. The digital tach is an attempt to be cool, with orange lines arcing across the top of the instrument panel, but it's hard to see and comes across as excessively gimmicky anyhow. The S2000 is all about revving, even if to a diminished 8200 rpm now, and everything should point there. Such as a needle on an analog gauge. Maybe the S2000 should have a big tach on the steering column, like the Mini Cooper.
There's also a digital speedometer reading mph in fairly big numbers, flanked by small fuel and coolant temperature gauges. The AM/FM/CD stereo is located behind a flap-like rectangular door on the dash; we found ourselves leaving it open for convenience, which defeated its purpose of hiding the system, of course. The buttons are small, but there are redundant controls just to the left of the steering wheel.
The power top moves up and down easily and latches over the windshield. There's a glass rear window with defroster, and also an aero windscreen behind the seats to reduce buffeting when the top is down.
The leather bucket seats are beautifully comfortable, with one inch more shoulder room than before. The three-spoke leather steering wheel is perfect. There are mesh storage pockets in the doors but no glove box. There's a new small storage compartment between the seats, giving the cabin minimal storage, a slight improvement from virtually nonexistent.
Driving Impression
The last time we wrote about the S2000 we couldn't get over its 9000 rpm redline. There isn't a road car on the planet that revs like that. And what a thrill it was. But in the '05, a rev limiter cuts the fuel off at 8200 rpm. That 800 rpm difference is all about the sound, and what it does to your insides. Now it's like listening to Jimi Hendrix riffing his electric guitar toward a climax and then cutting it short.
True, the engine is improved now. It's been stroked to 2.2 liters from 2.0, and makes the same 240 horsepower but delivers more torque, 162 foot-pounds versus 153, at a lower rpm: 6500 rpm instead of an impossibly peaky 7500. So it's got a broader power band and is more friendly to drive, thus easier to drive fast. It's a better car. But, like the Viper SRT/10, it may be better but it's a lot less visceral.
There have been a number of other careful refinements to the S2000, in particular to the handling, starting with the easy things: the 17-inch wheels. Less visible, the frame is stiffer and the suspension is firmer in the front and softer in the rear. On our favorite driving loop that offers a broad variety of corners and road surfaces, the S2000 handled the patchy bits with grace. It's smoother in the rough stuff than the Nissan 350Z, which isn't bad itself. No rattles or thumps, and it followed the contour of the road without softening or neutralizing it. It still has its kart-like quickness; in fact it's better now, with its wider tires.
Like all current Honda automobiles, the S2000's suspension is independent, with control arms (as distinct from struts) at all four corners. It is distinguished from any other current Honda cars, however, by its rear-wheel-drive layout, a platform developed specifically for this limited-edition roadster. (All other Hondas are based on a front-wheel-drive layout.)
The six-speed gearbox has also been improved, with better synchronizers making smoother shifts; its short-throw linkage and aluminum-tipped lever feel like a racecar's. The gear ratios have been lowered by 4 percent, in pursuit of easier takeoffs. There's an electric motor quality to its power, like a Japanese super-bike: no punch in the back, just a sense that with enough forward gears, one might keep accelerating indefinitely.
The brakes are big (11.8 inches front, 11.1 inches rear) and fantastic, vented in front, with standard ABS and improved brake pad material for '05. These are the best brakes we've ever encountered on any Honda vehicle, and they round out a set of sports car credentials that's tough to top.
The key to enjoying the S2000 is to drive it hard: Take off, wind the engine to 8200 rpm in first gear, shift into second, stand on it, and don't shift until you hit 8200 again. This is what the Honda S2000 has to offer over the less-expensive Miata.
Honda's S2000 delivers quick acceleration and razor-sharp cornering that's truly kart-like. It isn't for everyone. It is, after all, a unique limited-production sports car. It's great for someone who wants a superbike with the safety of four wheels and air bags.

TV veteran Malachi Throne dies, aged 84
Veteran TV actor MALACHI THRONE has died at the age of 84.
He reportedly passed away on Wednesday night (13Mar13), but few other details were available as WENN went to press.
The news was announced on Facebook.com by his actor pal Jim Beaver - in a post on Thursday (14Mar13) he wrote, "My good friend Malachi Throne died last night. One of the finest actors and finest people I've been fortunate enough to know."
Throne is perhaps best known for playing Robert Wagner's boss on It Takes a Thief and False-Face on hit U.S. TV series Batman. He was also the voice of The Keeper on Star Trek.
In addition, he had a number of guest roles on The Six Million Dollar Man, Hawaii Five-O, Melrose Place, and Mission: Impossible.
The actor was an active member of the Theatre West Company in Los Angeles, and stage bosses have since paid tribute to Throne with a post on their official website, which reads, "Theatre West says goodbye to our friend and colleague Malachi Throne."

text: A new study from the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research reports that high school cheerleading accounts for 65.1% of all catastrophic sports injuries among girls, making it one of the most dangerous high school sports for girls. However, the study fails to mention that most girls are cut out of aggressive team sports like football and hockey, which inflates the amount of injuries in cheerleading compared to other "girl's sports." That isn't to say cheerleading isn't serious business (we've all seen Bring It On) and girls can take just as many physical risks as boys when there is a competition at stake. [LiveScience]

Wrinkle Injections: You stress. You squint. You concentrate. And over time those expressions leave their mark on your face making you look older, tired and stressed. But now there are wrinkle injection treatments. This is a simple, non-surgical procedure that can dramatically reduce even your toughest wrinkles within days. So it's really up to you. You can choose to live with wrinkles or you can choose to live without them! What are 'wrinkle injection treatments'? Wrinkle injection treatments involve the use of a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles creating a smoothed, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. It"s a simple non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent facial lines that develop over time. One ten minute treatment ? a few tiny injections ? relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed for over four months. How do 'wrinkle injection treatments' work? Many facial wrinkles occur when we make repeated facial expressions. The wrinkle injections relax the tiny facial muscles that cause expression lines, leaving the overlying skin smooth and unwrinkled. Once the muscle is relaxed, you cannot contract it and continue to make the undesirable facial expression. Thus the lines gradually smooth out from disuse, and new creases are prevented from forming. Wrinkle injections work on the specific areas treated. Other muscles like those used to raise the eyebrows are not affected so a natural expression is maintained. It will not "freeze" your facial expressions. It softens them and works where you want it to. What to expect from the treatment: The procedure involves a doctor injecting tiny amounts of a purified protein into selected facial muscles by using a very fine needle. Discomfort is minimal and brief. Most people resume normal activities immediately. After injection, it takes 2-3 days for the injections to begin taking effect and around 7 days to see the full result. The procedure may last over four months, depending on the individual. You can decide to repeat the procedure as you wish. The result will wear off gradually and expression lines slowly return. To maintain the effect you will require repeat injections 2-3 times a year. Studies show that with repeat treatments, the effect can last longer, so you may require less frequent treatment in the future to maintain the result you have come to like. In the amounts used for wrinkly therapy, the most common side effects are temporary and localised to the area of injection. These include soreness or mild bruising, which can be easily covered with makeup, headache and less commonly, you may develop a heavy eyelid lasting 1-4 weeks which your doctor may be able to treat. There have been no permanent effects reported. Wrinkle injection treatments are used widely for the elimination of: * Frown lines between the eyebrows * Horizontal forehead wrinkles * Crows feet or smile lines around the eyes It is also being used to lift the eyebrow and open up the eye for a more youthful appearance.

In this hands on review of the New Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens (SEL18200LE), I will show you lots of real world sample photos, and compare it to the other Tamron 18-200mm and the original Sony 18-200mm (SEL18200)!! Sony currently offers two 18-200mm lenses for the E-Mount. The original, Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens is larger and balances much better with a larger camcorder for which it was originally designed. The New 18-200mm is much smaller and similar to the Tamron 18-200mm as far as design is concerned. The insides are a bit different though.
The newer 18-200mm is a much better fit for the Nex camera system as far as size and weight are concerned. Rumors are that the New Sony 18-200mm lens (sel18200) is just a re-skinned Tamron 18-200mm, and I must admit they are remarkable similar. Not exactly the same though as you will see below.
Comparing E-Mount 18-200mm lenses
Original Sony 18-200mm E-Mount Lens – (SEL18200)
New 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens(SEL18200LE)
Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC lens
As you can see from the images above the New Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens (SEL18200LE) is much lighter and smaller than the other Sony model (SEL1800), and nearly identical to the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC lens. There are some important differences though!!
Check out where the lens mounts to the camera. The Tamron has a silver ring and raised white line indicator, where as the Sony is all black with just a white dot.
If you look inside the lenses we have LD and XR elements in the Tamron vs ED elements in the Sony. ED (extra low dispersion) is better than LD (low dispersion), so naturally the Sony should be a tab bit better in some areas. I'll let you be the judge by checking out lots of sample photos with 100% crops at all sorts of focal lengths. I really took a lot of photos as the versatility of this lens made it an easy choice for almost all situations. I also really enjoy using high focal length lenses in general.

This is how I used it a lot with the Sony Nex-F3 @ 200mm!!

Full Range Testing – 18- 200mm Same Spot
I tried to focus on the face of the angle on the iron gate. The high contrast area offered a perfect spot for each focal length tested. I was not using a tri-pod for this test, so I did float the ISO a bit for the higher focal lengths to ensure a fast enough shutter. I wanted all the shots as sharp as possible while hand holding. The 100% crops for this first series are going to be the bottom left corner of each photo, and the center focal point area.
I was also shooting in Jpeg Fine quality and then exported these images from Lightroom 4 at 70% quality due to the re-size and server speed issues. So to be fair these images are doubled converted and do lose a tad of detail and have a little more noise. I also did not do anything to these photos what so ever. They are Strait Off the Camera, minus the export from Lightroom 4.

In this next series I happen to be working at a cell tower the sun was just starting to be brutal. It was also a tad hazy so the lens did have to fight both the sun at a somewhat harsh cross angle and the haze! At 19mm you can see some lens flare on the right side in a slight crescent moon shape, but it's very well controlled in my opinion as the contrast maintains in the center and corner area. That is impressive, because on cheaper lenses this would cause a washed out look across the image and significant loss of contrast.

Sony 18-200mm Optical SteadyShot
I have a pretty steady hand normally, but at 200mm, or high focal lengths in general, the camera shake becomes much more of a potential issue. It can result in blurry shots when hand holding and possible lead to some frustration. What you can do is make sure that the ISO is Not on Auto, and raise it up till you're getting fast enough shutter speeds given your shooting situation. The camera will often assume you have a steadier hand than you actually have, because in the real world we don't always have the best position etc.. Kids running around, you know the deal 😉
A common rule of thumb for shutter speed is you should be at least the speed of the focal length your using. In other words, for 200mm you should be at 1/200sec or faster and at 30mm you should be at 1/30sec or faster. Now, this is just a general rule mind you, so take it for what it is.
I prefer to use the lowest ISO I can get, so often shoot much slower speeds than the "rule". However OSS helps greatly for this and also leaning on a wall or door frame can help. I also will rest my hands on railings and swivel the screen on the Nex so I can see.
Check out this Hand Held Photo at 1/15sec with OSS tuned On
Now, it's not tack sharp in the 100% crop, but still not bad and the rain looks like streaks which is always fun.
HD Video with Autofocus Testing!
Check out this video for some autofocus testing using my test charts and the RX100 for a subject!! Also be sure to select the HD option in the player preferences for the best viewing experience!! 1080 can go full screen and still look sharp!!
Clear Image Zoom Sample ~640mm!!
Here's a cast iron sign taken from about 50 feet @ 200mm. I then used the Clear Image Zoo at the full 2x. This doubles the focal length to 400mm and it looks about 90% as good as the original. If you take into consideration the 1.6x crop factor of the Nex-F3, were talking ~640mm effective zoom at 2x and 320mm with no clear image zoom.
Not bad at all if you ask me considering it's doubling the focal length in camera with software.
Real World Use
Here's a few shots that I will probably print for my brother and myself. The New Sony 18-200mm Lens did a great job in my opinion on this next series of dog photos. This is the type of stuff I like to shoot at high focal lengths in particular in addition to portraits of course.
What is also important to note about an all in one lenses, is the flexibility you have in situations like the one below of the dogs. It's tough to get good dog pics, and a lens like this makes it much easier to get close-ups, 3/4, and full body shots all in a matter of few seconds. This flexibility proves to be valuable at times like these.
Look at theses hamburgers just waiting for pets!
Closing Remarks
The New Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens is a pretty solid all around lens in my opinion. It's slightly sharper than the Tamron 18-200mm in the center, and the fringing is also better controlled. Being an all around lens it will have some weaknesses as it's a lot to ask for in one package. Compromises need to be made in order to get so much out of a lens for a reasonable price. Prime lenses for example will be sharper than zoom lenses for the most part. That being said, Sony did a really good job here!
The OSS works as advertised and makes it much easier to hand hold using those long focal lengths and slower shutter speeds. The New SEL18200LE is much lighter and smaller than the older version SEL18200, but the image quality is not quite as sharp in my opinion. It's more noticeable in the corners as the center is really sharp. You don't get something for nothing as usual. the size and weight difference is significant though and for an all in one lens I would be willing to lose very slight corner sharpness for the size and weight savings. They are both expensive lenses, so the price really doesn't matter.
On a Camcorder, I would go for the older 18-200mm for the slight better quality, much better balance, and looks.

PT and fellow drivers Jon Bennett, Colin Braun and Dr. Jim Lowe finished 48th overall and 17th in class in their Doran Racing Ford powered Dallara. After leading early, PT went off course and hit a steel-grated drain that ended their race as the car could not be fixed. The team ran 286 laps of the race total 709.
PT and David Donohue took their #5 Action Express Corvette to P8 at Laguna Seca. PT started the race from P7 but a spin while coming onto the front straight for the start found him actually starting behind some GT cars. He quickly worked his way through the field and by 2:30 left to go he was running some of the fastest laps on track. A yellow flag came out with 2:25 to go and after pitting he restarted P6. PT drove until just a little under 2 hours to go when he handed over the driving duties to Donohue. On the last lap Donohue would get hit and spun in the Andretti hairpin by Max Angelelli and would go on to finish P8.
PT and David Donohue took their #5 Action Express Corvette to P3 at the Circuit Gilles Villenueve in what was a race of extreme ups and downs. Paul started the race and was involved in an incident on the very first lap when Michael Valiante was hit and spun by Darren Law. Paul was directly behind the spin and could not avoid Valiante hitting him and damaging the right front of the Corvette. PT would be able to continue on and the team replaced the damaged front bodywork at a later pit stop. PT stayed in the car until the 1:15 mark when he turned the car over to Donohue. A great pit stop and a couple on track incidents by other cars not involving the #5 saw the Action Express team cycle up to P3 where they finished.
PT and Jim Lowe finished P6 in the M&Ms number 77 Ford powered Dallara. Starting P10 Lowe took the first stint on a wet IMS track. With 2 hours 20 minutes left in the timed event PT took over the reins still in P10. By the time of a race restart with 43 minutes left to go PT was in P4 but was penalized for initiating a pass on a lapped car at the start and had to serve a drive-through penalty. PT would stay in the car for the remainder of the race bringing the Generation 2 DP car home in a very respectable P6.
Today PT, Jim Lowe and Brian Frisselle drove the number 77 Ford powered Dallara to a P10 finish at Watkins Glen. Paul drove the final stint taking over driving duties with 1 hour 22 minutes left in the six hour endurance race. Plan on seeing PT back with Lowe at Indy.
Today PT and Jim Lowe drove the Drive 4 COPD Ford powered Doran Dallara to a P8 finish at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Lowe started the race with Paul taking over driving duties with 1 hour 51 minutes left to go. Lowe would take over to drive the final stint bringing the car home in eighth place. Plan on seeing PT back with Lowe at least a couple more times this season.
Despite an early trip to the garage with less than 2 hours gone in the race, the #77 Doran Racing Ford Dallara came home in P7. Once in the garage the crew had to replace a coil and spark plugs to get the car back on track. Then fighting from several laps down, PT along with co-drivers Brian Frisselle, Burt Frisselle and Dr. Jim Lowe kept the car clean for the remaining 22 plus hours. But in a race that saw few cautions and that set a new DP-era record of 761 laps completed at Daytona International Speedway, the group could not come back from their early troubles.

Cameron Smith <email@example.com> correctly reported that the "-g" switch is invalid for multiple groups, "-G" should be used.

Made for Walkin'
This handsome pair 'o boots in front of you is called the Darby, and is part of Wolverine's new 1,000 Mile collection, a kind of harkening-back over a hundred years to the company's for-the-working-man roots. The rugged, finely crafted leather and rubber construction may be more than you need, but as they say, hope for the best, prepare for the worst. And they look good to boot.
Listen up
The genuine wood construction of Thinksound's Rain earphones not only gives them an amazingly distinctive look, but also creates unparalleled acoustics with the clearest, warmest possible resonance. So if you're in the market for higher-end in-ear headphones, skip the sound-deadening plastic stuff that can cost a whole lot more. With the rains, you'll experience your music like never before.
Where there's smoke
You might be thinking: "Smokejumper, that's a cool name for a watch." Until you realize it's more than just a name. It's the official watch of some of the baddest-ass daredevils in the world. Seriously. These guys jump out of planes into wildfires. Turns out Evil Knievel was a sissy.
A whiff of Stuttgart
A reinterpretation of Porsche's original Essence fragrance, the Essence Intense throws in some additional exotic ingredients like myrtle, juniper berry, bitter mandarin, Haitian vetiver, and amber. And it's from Porsche Design, so expect nothing but the best in presentation. Packaged in a frosted glass and black, brushed aluminum bottle, this cologne is sure to turn as many heads (and in this case noses) as a murdered-out 911.
Speaker of the House
The crowded and bland world of the iPod dock gets a much-needed kick in the pants from famous French artist Philippe Starck. The Zikmus, with their sculpture-like design and room-filling, 360-degree sound, are a welcome departure from the paralyzingly boring realm of most home-audio equipment
Reposado Revelation
It goes without saying that if you dare use this tequila in a margarita, or - God help you - for shots, the Mexican Mafia might just pay you a little "visit". No, this smooth, golden nectar from the highland village of Purísima del Rincón demands more respeto than that. Keeping their aging process and blend a guarded secret, the same family has tended their private distillery for decades. ¡Salud!

MCCANDLESS, Pa. (AP) — A woman said she heard "crazy voices" telling her to push her sons underwater before she sat on the boys in the bathtub, drowning her 3-year-old and leaving his 6-year-old brother in critical condition, police said.
Laurel Michelle Schlemmer, 40, told detectives she "thought she could be a better mother" to a third son, the oldest, "if the other two boys weren't around, and they would be better off in heaven," a police complaint said.
Schlemmer, a stay-at-home mom in this town about 10 miles north of Pittsburgh, was jailed without bond Wednesday on charges including criminal homicide and attempted homicide as prosecutors also began reviewing another episode involving her and her children.
Prosecutors would not discuss what they were looking into, but Schlemmer's pastor said she backed into the same two boys with her van 10 months ago in the driveway of the boys' grandparents in a nearby town and that he counseled the family afterward.
The van encounter was an accident, North Park Church Pastor Dan Hendley said in an interview.
"I never had any reason to believe otherwise," he said. It did not result in any charges.
In her interview with detectives, Schlemmer said she tried to drown her sons Luke and Daniel after her 7-year-old son left for school Tuesday. She put the older boy on his school bus at about 8:40 a.m., the complaint said, then told the younger boys to take off their pajamas and get into the bathtub.
Luke was pronounced dead Tuesday morning. Daniel was reported in critical condition at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at UPMC.
"Schlemmer said after the boys got into the tub, she got into the tub 'fully clothed,' and 'crazy voices' were telling her to push the boys down into the water," the complaint said. "Schlemmer explained that at one point, she (was) sitting on top of boys while they were under the water in the tub."
Schlemmer pulled both boys out of the bathtub and laid them on the bathroom floor while she called 911. She told police she never attempted CPR because she did not know how to. Her husband, Mark, was working at the time, neighbors said.
Before breaking down in tears, a neighbor in this quiet, upscale bedroom community who did not want to give her name said the family did everything together and seemed very happy. Neighbors describe the family as religious.
Two bouquets of flowers were tucked Wednesday into a bush at the front of the family's home on a winding street of split-level houses and well-kept yards. Mourners also left a small stuffed leopard and a burning votive candle.
Hendley, the pastor, said the family seemed to have bounced back well from the van accident, which he said caused internal injuries to Daniel and left Luke unable to walk for a time.
"They seemed to be doing well from the distance from which I observed them," he said.
The pastor said there were concerns about Schlemmer's mental state as a result of that trauma, not because her friends or family had any suspicions about what happened.
"There was no concern that there was anything but a terrible accident that occurred in that situation," he said.
"What was shared with me is she was in the van and the boys were behind her and she didn't see them," he said. "She thought the boys had run inside and, instead, they were in back of the van."
Schlemmer received a citation for leaving a toddler unattended in a parked car in 2009 in nearby Ross Township, court records indicated. The car's interior was 112 degrees when officers arrived, police said. The child wasn't injured and Schlemmer paid a small fine, court records show. They didn't say which child was in the car.
Schlemmer faces a preliminary hearing April 11. Other charges against her include reckless endangerment, aggravated assault and tampering with physical evidence, for allegedly hiding her wet clothes in a trash bag and then hiding that bag under three other bags.
Hendley said the family hadn't hired an attorney yet. No one answered the phone at their home.
The pastor and other friends at the evangelical Presbyterian congregation were working to help Mark Schlemmer and his 7-year-old son.
"I'd question whether they're ever going to go back to that house given what's occurred," Hendley said.

New York Paralegal Masters Degree & Graduate Program
A Masters Degree in Paralegal Studies allows for greater paralegal responsibilities. A paralegal performs legal and clerical work under the supervision of an attorney. Also known as "legal assistants", their job responsibilities vary depending on the size and type of law firm for which they work. It is possible to become a paralegal with a bachelor's degree, or even an associate's degree and a certificate in paralegal studies. However, the highest-level training is the master's in paralegal studies.
Successful applicants to paralegal graduate schools should possess the following qualities and skills:
- Clear communication, both written and spoken
- Comfortable with use of computer software
- Skilled at research
- Excellent at maintaining relationships with clients
Paralegal Studies Master's Programs and Curriculum
Paralegal masters studies students take a combination of core courses and electives. Core courses vary between schools, but may include:
Law office management, Legal research, Professional development.
Students choose electives based on their area of specialty. These areas include:
- Litigation Criminal law
- Bankruptcy
- Intellectual property
- Corporate law
- Real estate
- Family law
Many paralegal studies master's programs require an independent project to graduate. These programs generally take one to two years to complete.
Most paralegal studies graduate schools require applicants to hold a minimum GPA from their undergraduate institution. In addition, they require GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement.
The American Bar Association is the accrediting body for paralegal programs. Some paralegals choose to pursue certification in addition to their master's degree.
Paralegal Career Paths
Those with master's degrees in paralegal studies generally become paralegals in law firms and government agencies. Job responsibilities vary – in smaller firms; paralegals often have a wider range of duties, while in larger firms paralegals often work on only one phase of a case, according to their area of specialization. Typical responsibilities might include:
Interviewing clients and other relevant parties to obtain the facts of a case
- Conducting research
- Drafting correspondence
- Clerical work, such as creating and maintaining databases
Paralegal Future Job Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2012, the median salary of a paralegal with a minimum education level of associate's degree was $46,990. Salary data for paralegals holding master's degrees is unavailable. Larger firms sometimes have opportunities for paralegals to assume a managerial role. Experience, skill level and level of training all factor in to the decision to promote. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports job growth for paralegals is expected to grow by 17% between 2012 and 2022, which is about as fast as the national average.

FreeDarko's Bethlehem Shoals, a regular contributor to NBA FanHouse and co-author of The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History (visit the FreeDarko store, too!), is keeping a game-by-game diary of the Heat's season — the one you're pretending not to care about.
Results: Heat 97, 76ers 87; Cavaliers 95, Celtics 87
Record: 1-1
Cavaliers record: 1-0
"I was a little shocked at how quickly it ended ... But that is how life goes in the NBA."
That was former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, speaking with the NBA TV crew. Conventional wisdom, and most common sense, held that the loss of LeBron James would cripple the Cavs, blasting them back into Cleveland basketball's Stone Age so completely that you'd half-expect Austin Carr to take the court and break something. New coach Byron Scott had taken the job before James had revealed his plans; point guard Mo Williams contemplated retirement. Owner Dan Gilbert could only express himself in a font designed for children and the mentally disadvantaged. There were riots in the street and fire in the sky. After the loss to Boston, LeBron reminded reporters that "Rome wasn't built in a day." It wouldn't take a student of history like Amar'e Stoudemire to tell you that empires fall much faster, and with much more violence.
It's a basic rule of physics — I know these basic rules because basketball discourse alludes to them all the time — that for everything LeBron James does in Miami, there is an equal and opposite reaction back in Cleveland.
At least that's how it's supposed to work. LeBron regularly defies the laws of physics on the court — again, something I know to be true from reading a lot about basketball — so it follows that the old rules wouldn't hold when it comes to his effect on franchises, cities, and populations of endangered birds. Against the Sixers last night, the Heat looked more assertive, more engaged. James Jones hit six threes, and at some point, teams are going to have to stop giving him, Eddie House, and Mike Miller (when he returns) those open looks. Of course, if both James and Wade had previously found ways to take on whole teams without the luxury of dead-eye shooters, it's not clear why together, with Bosh, this kind of cover would be necessary.
Regardless, it allowed Wade to find some room and finish with 30; LeBron turned it over nine times, as opposed to Tuesday's eight, but I'll take it as a sign that he was trying things, taking chances. Ever look at the turnover numbers for Kidd or Nash? In a game where ideas seem to be percolating, I'll buy this rationale. He didn't put up huge numbers, and yet got more than a few easy shots around the basket that didn't fall; he and Wade are starting to get their 'oop connection down, too. While Bosh only went for 16 and 7, his plus/minus was +25, best on the team. More importantly, he looked like an asset waiting to be converted, not a liability. It was against the Sixers, who are probably not as bad as they looked nor good enough to count as a real test. Still, if you're watching every single Heat game this season, it was an encouraging sign. Whether something has to be built (like Rome), or whether it's just a matter of the obvious coming into focus, well, that remains to be seen.
There was a woman in the crowd with a "Cleveland Will Never Forget" sign. I couldn't tell if she was an aggrieved Cavs fan who had bought a ticket to make sure her voice was heard, or a Philly native sympathetic to any and all underdog cities.
The real news, though, was from the benighted Quicken Loans Arena, where Dan Gilbert's Wine and Gold Marauders took on the Boston Celtics — the team practically designed to foil the Heat. I'll spare you the suspense, or the thick description: Cleveland won 95-87, despite the absence of Williams. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was in attendance. Antawn Jamison had this to say: "This was for the city. It was for the fans to let them know the Cavs will survive and this is a place where you can still watch good basketball. And most of all, you can watch a team that wins." Jamison came to the Cavs at last season's trade deadline, freed from the moribund Wizards to seek a title with LeBron and help convince him to stay on. He is one of the league's true class acts, as they say in the pictures.
You would have thought that, given the current state of the Cavaliers, this win would be looked upon as the fluke it was. Instead, it's the biggest NBA story of this young season, far more important than Blake Griffin's bombastic debut or Monta Ellis's redemption-through-scoring binge. Early on, the transitive property prevails, because fans have little real data to go on. The Celtics beat the Heat, ergo, the Cavs beating the Celtics was practically identical to kicking LeBron James right between his dumb-ass eyes. Doc Rivers said that Cleveland fans were stopping him on the street to shake his hand. For one day, the NBA season didn't feel like a thousand-week slog, and it was governed by the rules of the BCS.
It turns out that LeBron James really isn't like physics. He's more like outer space. James is the sun, and cold, dead Cleveland, his moon — appearing to shine down on us, sometimes just as brightly, or at least bright enough that you forget it's all reflected light. Every LeBron story is also a Cavs story; every Cavs story can be tied back into LeBron. I find myself in the habit of still tagging my own stories about LeBron with "cavs" — hey, maybe Gilbert and the fans were right. He really does belong to them.
If James and Heat flame out, it will only light up Ohio more brightly. Like that Facebook guy, no longer do they have to ask, "When will he take over the game?" Thankfully, that's somebody else's problem now.

First we off-shored work, now graduates
A new NSW-backed program to send Australian university graduates to India has drawn fire from outspoken members of the state's technology sector.
IT professionals have long protested that the growing practice of off-shoring high-tech projects to developing countries harms local career chances. Now the NSW government has given its backing to a program to send young workers to the sub-continent to gain experience and improve their employability.
Five information and communication technology (ICT) students and recent graduates from the University of NSW and Sydney University will spend eight weeks living and working on campus at Infosys, India's largest technology services vendor, from January next year.
Headquartered in Bangalore, and listed in the US, Infosys is an IT outsourcing and consultancy vendor employing 153,000 people worldwide, including 2400 in Australia.
The intern scheme, which will be fully funded by the vendor, has received public support from NSW premier Barry O'Farrell, who travelled to India this week to spruik the state's technology strengths.
In a statement, O'Farrell said the program would give students the chance to live, travel and work on cutting-edge technology projects.
It comes on the heels of Prime Minister Julia Gillard's Australia in the Asian Century policy, aimed at boosting Asian literacy among Australian students and taking advantage of the Asian boom.
But a supporter of the Australian industry, founder of Sydney-based start-up Bigcommerce, Mitchell Harper, described the NSW government's backing of the program as a "kick in the teeth" for local players.
Rather than attempting to foster opportunities for ICT graduates in Asia, governments at both levels should be investing in graduate skills development programs within Australia, Harper said.
'The big thing that I don't really agree with is sending [interns] off-shore — there are so many entrepreneurs here trying hard to build really strong, private IT companies," Harper said.
Bigcommerce employs interns among its 200 staff and, alongside other local players, was keen to work with the government to help develop and retain local ICT skills, Harper said.
"[Interns] get amazing hands-on experience and they get to stay here in Australia — they don't have to go to the US or India."
Spending time with local start-ups would give rookies greater breadth of experience than placement with an established "monolith" like Infosys, Harper claimed.
"They won't get the chance to do anything that has a real impact — [they] will be stuck working alongside some engineer. Infosys as a company is not the sort of company a graduate would dream of going to work for."
Country manager for Infosys Australia and New Zealand Jackie Korhonen said interns would work alongside mentors in the vendor's research and development laboratories. They would also have the chance to take up employment with the company.
"It's part of Infosys being a global organisation," Korhonen said. "There's cutting-edge stuff happening over there … it's a chance to give Australians global experience."
Harper said many ICT graduates were already heading overseas after graduation and the government needed to do more to encourage them to pursue careers locally and build the local industry.
"I think the government really needs to put someone in charge of these programs and budgets who's built a company in Australia," he said.
"They need to do it soon to stop the brain drain of young talent heading off-shore."
Another Australian IT entrepreneur, Freelancer.com chief executive Matt Barrie, said the government needed to look at ways to boost the country's scanty output of high-tech graduates to counter the shortage in the local market.
Freelancer.com counts several interns and new graduates among its staff of 50, Barrie said, and along with other local players including Atlassian, was looking to hire more.
"Australia as a country, the only way we can sustain our economy and way of life is to make a dedicated effort to boost technology," he said.
"It's the only way a country of 23 million people can punch above its weight."
A spokesman for the Australian Computer Society (ACS) said ICT was a global industry and gaining an international perspective through internship abroad would help improve graduates' employment prospects at home. However, he said the shortfall of domestic students pursuing Australian tertiary ICT courses was still of concern.
"(That's) something that risks the development of the nation's digital economy".
Commenting on the Infosys scheme, a spokeswoman for Senator Chris Evans, the Federal Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research, said study in Asia was good for students and business.
"There is no better way to become Asia literate than to experience Asia directly," she said.
