Thanks to the demands of DVD, there's a good chance that the soundtracks for premium postproduced genres such as quality drama are already being produced in 5.1 surround sound. The principles of recording and mixing these soundtracks have quickly become established, adapting techniques and tools from the film world to meet the timescales and budgets of television.
The main additional consideration for postproduction is to meet the HD broadcaster's delivery specification for the 5.1 audio track. The most common formats for delivery are Dolby® E and multichannel PCM.
Tools from Dolby and our partners will help you:
Ensure you meet delivery specifications for the encoding format, loudness, and Dolby metadata

The HTC One M8 Google Play Edition will fulfill the dreams of Android fanatics seeking to pair top-notch hardware with a Nexus-style KitKat experience, so long as they're willing to pay a premium.
With its low-resolution screen and dual-core processor, the HTC Desire 300 isn't going to impress hardened tech nerds. The promised low price, however, means it could be a good option for those of you on a budget.
Pricing not available
The pricey HTC One Google Play Edition's unique blend of premium design, components, and pure Jelly Bean software will only tempt true Android fanatics.
If you don't like electronic viewfinders, but want a superzoom, this Sony packs a 10x zoom lens and 8 megapixels into a tiny package, but image quality at higher ISOs is a bit lacking.
If you want to treat your ears, splash out on the Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay H3 and H6, made from aluminium and happy cows.
The Motorola Razr H3 Bluetooth Headset is an attractive, quality Bluetooth headset, thanks to its fashion-forward design and ergonomic ear hook. We only wish the volume controls weren't so tiny.
The Hummer H3 makes up for a lack of power and gadgets with serious off-road capability and a comfortable cabin.
Pricing not available
The rumored time frame matches up with previous launches of major Android releases.
Rumors point to HTC and Google working together on the Nexus 8. Design will be the focus for Google I/O and HTC wants to own the selfie market.
The Google-backed mobile and cloud startup puts Scott Croyle in charge of design and product, and adds him to its board.

Kidman appeared on the red carpet Thursday night celebrating Francisco Costa's 10th anniversary as the women's creative director of the Calvin Klein Collection.
Earlier, she was outside a hotel when she was hit by a bicyclist. She was knocked to the ground, but in an interview with The Associated Press at the Calvin Klein event, she said she was ok. The Daily News and other media outlets report the cyclist was a free-lance photographer.
Kidman added: "I'm up, I'm walking around, but I was shaken."
The New York Police Department says a 19-year-old bicyclist was issued three summonses for riding a bike on the sidewalk, riding a bike with no helmet and reckless endangerment.

This Old House
Bedford Project, Part 8 of 16Series Website »
Episode Guide »
General contractor Tom Silva finishes up the last of the structural work by replacing an undersized and partially rotted old post in the kitchen. Meanwhile, window restoration specialist Alison Hardy reinstalls the restored historic window sashes in the dining room, adding spring-action hardware and weather stripping to make them more efficient. In the garage, host Kevin O'Connor finds electrician Allen Gallant upgrading the electrical service to 100 amps so it can function as a workshop. Allen installs a system of metallic tubing as conduit on the inside of the building, and outside, brings the wires to the garage via a fishing system controlled by foot pedals for safety. Then, Kevin meets interior designers Dee Elms and Andrew Terrat at a house they designed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that inspired the look for the Bedford Project kitchen. Back at the house, Tom shows Kevin how he's removing the more modern narrow strip flooring in the study to reveal the more historic wide pine boards underneath. With a light sanding and clear finish, the 200-year-old patina will stay intact.

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc Stock Upgraded (SPPI)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 3.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 37.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- SPPI has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.92, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Biotechnology industry and the overall market, SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS INC is currently very high, coming in at 86.70%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 77.80% significantly outperformed against the industry average.

$12.99 (member's price: $11.69 )
The award-winning second edition of the must-have book, Gustav Stickley's Craftsman Farms: A Pictorial History, is now available. The book, edited by David Cathers, and includes essays on the landscape at Craftsman Farms, the architecture, furnishings, and Stickley family. This new edition includes two entirely new essays by Mark Alan Hewitt and Robert Winter which set Craftsman Farms in the context of New Jersey history and the Progressive Movement. 110 pages, 70 B&W illustrations, 110 pages, paperbound.
The Craftsman on CD-Rom
$99.99 (Member's price $90)
New Edition of The Craftsman on CD-Rom
The Craftsman (published from 1901 to 1916) was the voice of the American Arts & Crafts movement. The Craftsman brought Stickley's ideas of the Craftsman lifestyle to a wide audience and remains a key source of information and a historical record of the Arts & Crafts movement.
This digital collection of The Craftsman includes all 183 issues, with architectural designs for more than 200 Craftsman homes; examples of all types of furnishings such as flower stands, chairs, library tables, magazine racks, wall treatments and candle holders; political and cultural commentary; and essays on the simplification of life and the art of home building.
Each page, or all 25,000 of them, can be printed. An index file listing all articles is included. Each issue is in its own file in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, can be used with both Windows and Mac, and is searchable. Adobe Reader is provided. (All files can also be copied to your hard drive if you have 4.5 gigabytes of free space available.) At such an affordable price, this collection is a must for all Arts & Crafts aficionados.
Mr. Stickley's Catalogues
$10.00 (Member's price $9.00)
This comprehensive listing of more than 50 Stickley catalogues, beginning in the year 1900 demonstrates Stickley's skills as a consumer product marketer and his genius as the head of his design studio, the breadth of his "brand" and its associated lifestyle. B & W, 16 pages.
Mr. Stickley's Restaurant
$15.00 (Member's price $13.50)
This exhibition catalogue explores and interprets a vital though often overlooked chapter of Gustav Stickley's career – the Craftsman Restaurant. It considers Stickley's early advocacy of healthy natural, locally grown food, and reveals the restaurant's close connection to Craftsman Farms. Essays by David Cathers, William Grimes, and Debra Hegstrom help reveal the restaurant's close connection to Craftsman Farms and its integral role within Stickley's enterprises, while also placing it within the larger social contexts of Manhattan's vibrant turn-of-the-twentieth-century restaurant scene and the contentious public health issues confronted by Progressive-era America. Fully illustrated with archival photographs and a reproduction of the restaurant's menu. B & W, 34 pages.
$20. (Member's price $18.00)
This exhibition catalogue provides the reader with a comprehensive fully-illustrated listing of the more than 60 known designs that were produced and marketed for the Craftsman Workshops, along with the year each design was first published in The Craftsman or a catalogue. A how-to article by Ann Chaves provides the reader with clear illustrations and techniques. An illustrated essay by Dianne Ayres discusses how textiles were used in Craftsman Homes. A special contribution by Jennifer Perry Thalheimer discusses the history of an extraordinary surviving textile, the Craftsman portieres from Osceola Lodge. And new and fascinating discoveries are unearthed by David Cathers in his scholarly essay on the Donald Brothers, Stickley's primary textile supplier. Numerous color and B & W illustrations throughout, 46 pages.
Mr. Stickley's Home: 1911
$20. (Member's price $18.00)
This exhibition catalogue is also a special centennial publication. It features five entirely new essays on various facets of Craftsman Farms:
David Cathers uses Mildred Stickley's newly discovered 1911 diary to give us an intimate view of the family that called Craftsman Farms their home. This uniquely personal diary leads Cathers to offer us the imagery and feel of that particular time and place with a depth and richness beyond any other previously published work.
Mark Weaver considers the influences of Theodore Roosevelt, the Back to the Soil Movement, and the transcendentalists' philosophy on the creation of Craftsman Farms, which he suggests is even more relevant to us in this 21st century.
Mark Hewitt helps us understand the variety and purpose of Stickley's original 650 acre landscape. He notes that it was "…to promote the ideals associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, tempered with the pragmatic bias that he learned as a farmer and businessman."
Peter Mars reflects on the buildings at Craftsman Farms, their materials, their forward-looking designs and functionality, and their subtle and thoughtful detail.
Patricia Bartinique helps us understand Stickley's intention to create a school for boys at Craftsman Farms and the educational concepts that influenced Stickley's thinking.
Color and B&W illustrations including newspaper clippings and memorabilia from Marion Stickley's Craftsman Farms scrapbook. 42 pages.
Mr. Stickley's Lighting
$20. (Member's price: $18)
This exhibition catalogue examines Gustav Stickley's approach to lighting throughout his career in five illuminating essays that give meaning and context to the various types of lighting in American homes in the early part of the twentieth century. A context setting essay by Mark Weaver thoughtfully considers life in the early 1900s and examines both the psychological and esthetic impact of interior lighting at the time. Guest author Edward Wirth, an archivist from Thomas Edison National Historic Park, helps us understand the work of the man who brought us the electric light bulb. Jonathan Clancy sheds some light on the business aspects of Stickley's metal shop, examining the production, design, and labor force as a model of the arts and crafts business. Master artisans Dawn Hopkins and Michael Adams take us inside the world of metalwork from the perspective of the metalsmith. And finally, Tim Gleason offers insights into design elements within Stickley's lighting, culled from original source material. Numerous color and B&W illustrations throughout. 44 pages. Paperback.
Stickley's Craftsman Homes: Plans Drawings Photographs
Signed by the author
Collectible edition signed by the author $75 (member's price: $65.50)
Gustav Stickley published 221 numbered designs of his own house designs with working plans made available to build the houses. In addition to providing plans of those houses appearing in The Craftsman magazine free to subscribers, his architectural department produced plans for houses on request, for a fee. A total of 254 home designs have been identified, with many more probably waiting to be found. These designs ranged from mansions to mountain camps, and most were built in the rapidly expanding suburbs at the turn of the twentieth century. This book makes all Stickley's known house designs available in one place for the first time. Most of the images reproduced here come from The Craftsman magazine and well over half appear here for the first time since they were published almost a hundred years ago. Each house is presented with an exterior illustration to show the reader how Stickley envisioned it, along with floor plans. For houses that have features of interest, additional illustrations and architectural elevation drawings are presented. The most unique features of this book are comparative photographs in color and historical photographs of existing homes built from the plans. Probably thousands of these houses in suburbs and towns across America were built in the early days of the twentieth century and are waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. We are only now realizing the profound effect that Gustav Stickley had on modern design, and this compendium takes a big step toward exploring his impact on popularizing residential home styles in the twentieth century. Stickley's Craftsman Homes presents valuable information that historic homeowners and buyers, architects and historians need in order to identify and preserve the surviving Stickley homes. Ray Stubblebine, a professional photojournalist, is a Trustee of the Craftsman Farms Foundation. He is a writer and a speaker on the Arts and Crafts movement in America, whose articles and photographs have been published in Style 1900, Old House Journal, Old House Interiors, New Jersey Monthly, New Jersey Design, and the New York Times.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Toyota Motor <7203.T> said on Thursday that it sold 38,500 cars in China during May, 35 percent less than a year ago, due the part shortage caused by Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami in March.
In the first five months of the year, the Japanese automaker sold 294,900 cars in China, down 2.1 percent from the year-ago period, it added.

text: It's occurred to me that most of you probably haven't been to Lily Dale, so I thought I'd show some pictures of what it's actually like to be there! Lily Dale is a Spiritualist community in upstate New York, and they have tons of courses (particularly in the summer) on New Age and spiritual topics. There's lots of greenery, forest, a small beach, and a lake. Almost all of the houses are in a Victorian style, and indeed Lily Dale was a badass haunt in the 1800s as well. I took these pictures the first time I visited, back in 2007 - please don't remove this blurb or credit. Thanks! xx

New London that local governments may force property owners to sell out and to make way for private economic development, even if the property is not blighted. In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

New to Linux and need help
Specs say: Linux, 8G SSD, 512MB DDR2, Intel mobile CPU & Chipset, etc.
From what I've read, I need to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a command prompt.
I'm trying to figure out what version of Linux this Netbook has AND what the processor speed is. I was told that I need to get to the command prompt to determine this.
1. When I press Ctrl+Alt+F1, nothing happens - what am I doing wrong or what is the correct way to get to the cmd prompt?
2. Do I get this info from the cmd prompt and if so what are the commands to get this info? Please keep in mind that this is the first time ever that I've used or seen Linux so be very, very specific will all instructions.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

Do zoos help biodiversity conservation?
Zoos are becoming more aware of the role they can play in preventing species extinction. The California Condor, the black-footed ferret, and the Przewalski's horse have all been saved from extinction because of zoos. Zoos also aid conservation by inspiring people to learn more about the diversity of life. However for every species saved in a zoo, hundreds if not more will perish outside of zoos. Is the role of the zoo to showcase and educate the public about the organisms they keep in captivity or should they also focus on conservation outside zoo boundaries?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 8 2012: I believe it is the zoo's responsibility to focus on both conservation outside zoo boundaries and educating the public. One way they ensure conservation among endangered species is by allowing them to breed in captivity. Once these species reach sufficient levels, they can be reintroduced into their natural habitats. Also, zoos allow scientists to perform more research, specifically the optimal conditions and environment for a particular species. This information can then be disseminated to educate the public.
Jun 8 2012: I agree that zoos can serve this function. Often times the problem is that zoos preserve a gene pool that is too small to keep the species alive or reinvigorate it. This is a possible area of technique and management that needs to be reexamined so that zoos can act as conservation sites successfully.
Jun 8 2012: I agree that zoos should focus on both educating the public and conserving the areas outside the zoo. I think if zoos set up more ways that people can see the conservation related in simple terms with lots of pictures and interactive displays they will understand this more and maybe help too. The research that zoos do has helped them improve habitats for animals they house, adapting to things that they have found are necessary in the wild for these animals. I do think that zoos can provide captive breeding while also educating the public about the species and why the breeding is necessary. In this way they could show things we buy that could be causing the animal's home to be destroyed or things we are doing that are destroying the animals native habitat.
Jun 8 2012: Genetic degradation is a major concern in many small breeding populations. Dealing with inbreeding depression is one of the many challenges zoos face. I know that some zoos will actually share animals for breeding purposes to preserve genetic diversity and reduce the chance of recessive lethal alleles in their populations. Breeding programs are still relatively new and many of the animals studied (mammals mostly) have low reproductive rates and so far it has been hard to study these effects carefully.

HAMPSTEAD, NC (WECT) - Earlier this month, firefighters from Sloop Point Volunteer Fire Department and Hampstead Volunteer Fire Department pulled a woman from her burning trailer on Lea Drive and helped to save her life.
Thursday, Judy Hinnant sat down with WECT and said she can't even begin to put into words just how grateful she is for their work.
She says when she first saw the charred remains of her home, she was shocked she survived.
"I couldn't believe it," said Hinnant. "How someone could live through this, how this is possible I had no earthly idea someone could live through that." Firefighters smashed through her bedroom window, to pull her sleeping body from the burning trailer.

A new video visitation system installed in Cherokee County -- is benefiting the county in more ways than one. The new technology at the jail is benefiting everyone -- from inmates, to their families and the county.
"We've seen the opportunity with the Homewav system will not only benefit the county as a little bit of a source of revenue, but also for the inmates convenience for long distance ones to still be able to connect with their family." says Cherokee County Undersheriff, Terry Clugston.
The homewave video system allows family and friends to go online, create an account and use a credit card to grant them access to have a video visit with an inmate for 50 cents per minute....which is more affordable than the typical collect phone call. Officials say this new way of visitation works for traveling visitors.
"It takes down the amount of work the in house correctional officer has to deal with the people coming in on specific days to do a face to face. Even though there's a barrier there, it's a face to face visitation, so...that requires additional security measures. So we've really eliminated a lot of that and it's been a win win so far." says Sheriff David Groves
The Homewav system is not only a privilege for inmates who get to use it, but it's also a convenience for family members who may have to travel from far away."
The jail currently holds 27 inmates from Sedgewick county, and 1 from Crawford County. Which can add up to more than an hours worth of travel time.
"It gives us a tool for inmate management. They are told up front that it's a privilege. If it's abusive, if anything is inappropriate then those privileges are revoked. And we have the opportunity to monitor and record those visits as they are occurring live." Groves says.
So far the county has not seen any problems with inmates abusing the new system.

Robert S.
Somerville – Director
Who Attends?
Attendees to this event are from many streams of the Christian
faith. Even people from other religious faiths have come to learn of
the deeper things of our Christian faith. The pattern for the Christ
Our Passover Unity Banquet is found in the types and shadow of the Old
Testament (Hebrews 10:1). Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles were the
unity feasts of Israel.
Annually, God's people from every tribe came together in unity and
corporate worship. In like manner, a wide variety of Christians in our
city, from many congregations, are now putting these prophetic lessons
into practice by joining hands and hearts in corporate celebration "Christ
our Passover lamb has been sacrificed, therefore let is keep the feast
of Passover." (1 Corinthians 5:7-8)

"This event is
one that crosses the barriers of Church denominations and allows us to
come as one through our Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ. I encourage the
Body of Christ, throughout the entire region, to come and 'keep the
feast' together at the Christ Our Passover celebration."
"I continue to
marvel at the unique contribution the Christ Our Passover event brings
to our city – and region! It has a way of creatively uniting the Body
of Christ while at the same time linking Hebrew and Christian
sensitivities and understandings of the world God has created and
continues to create! Who knows what 'new thing' the Holy One will bring
about this year through this most meaningful celebration of unity!"
have conversed and corresponded with Reverend Somerville and I am
convinced that he is not only an orthodox, charismatic Christian in the
truest sense of the word, but that his understanding of grace as a
doctrine is absolutely scriptural. With the scriptural understanding of
grace, he has added a new dimension of joy to Christian worship by
incorporating those element of celebration which are scripturally
Jewish" [2/28/2005]

I commend The Christ Our
Passover event as a celebration of our spiritual and historical
heritage with the Jewish tradition of the Exodus. In the sharing
of a meal, the proclamation of the Word, and the unity of the church
you are reminded that, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for
us." 1 Corinthians 5:7.
"The Christ Our
Passover celebration affords an excellent opportunity to demonstrate
the unity of the Body of Christ in the Huntsville area. In the context
of the Jewish Passover Feast, participants gather to break bread,
worship, and celebrate the prophetic fulfillment of the Passover in our
Lord Jesus Christ. This is truly a wonderful gathering."
"I am delighted
to enthusiastically endorse the Christ Our Passover celebration. In my
opinion this activity has made a significant impact on the Christian
community in helping them gain a clearer understanding of the history
of the Judeo-Christian roots of the Christian faith. A number of former
participants have commented to me how helpful this event has been in
enhancing their understanding of the faith."
let us celebrate and learn together, both Jew and Gentile

Members of the Boy Scouts of America, are opposing a move to become more tolerant to homosexuals, within their own organization.
Friday members of a Boy Scouts sub-group calling themselves, 'On My Honor' held a protest in front of the Andrew Jackson Council headquarters. The protestors are saying 'no' to a resolution, that would allow openly gay members into the Boy Scouts.
Currently the Scouts don't ask members about their sexual orientation, and don't grant membership to homosexuals.
Funding from the Boy Scouts' 30 major funders could stop if the resolution is not passed.
"We teach tolerance to our kids, to all of our kids and when tolerance is being threatened the security, tolerance ends when the security of our children is jeopardized," said Michael Lowery of On My Honor.
The resolution to allow gays into the boy scouts will be taken up during a national meeting Thursday, in Grapevine Texas. 1,400 leaders from various councils across the country, will be voting on the issue.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the importance of loving yourself and how it affects the relationships you are in or will be in. We know the saying, "You can't love others until you truly love yourself," and I think that there are a thousand and one reasons why this is true, but, one reason in particular popped into my head the other day.
I have known and continue to know many people who serially end up in relationships with people who treat them poorly. For each person I know in this category, there has always been at least one "good guy" that came along … and who was just as quickly pushed aside. Someone very close to me has described being "annoyed" by the nice guys … she feels as though they are weaklings, needy, clingy, etc. And maybe some of them are. But. Maybe they aren't. Instead, maybe there is something in her that causes her to perceive their affections for her, as ones sourced in weakness.
Here is something to think about. When you see yourself as invaluable, uninteresting, undesirable and less-than-ideal, you function under an assumption that others see you this way too … or that they would, if they knew the "real" you. So, when someone comes along who truly sees beauty, wonder, value, and worth in you … it feels illogical and unbelievable. It causes suspicion. "I am NOT desirable, so there must be some other reason that this person wants me.." I think, all too often, this suspicion eventually causes us to land on the conclusion that this person must, themselves, be weak, desperate and just settling for us. "Why else would they want to be with me?" And when we feel as though someone's love for us is sourced in weakness … rather than in strength … it doesn't feel genuine. We begin to see this person's affections as needy, instead of giving and sourced in desperation, rather than desire. We go back to the people who treat us badly because, in our flawed mindset, THAT makes sense. We truly accept the treatment that we believe we deserve.
If, instead, we went into our relationships truly loving, liking and valuing ourselves, we would have a clear picture of what it is we want and what it is that we absolutely know we deserve. And then when a person came along who was loving us well, we would see their affections for what they truly are … ones sourced in appreciation, awe and thankfulness for having the chance to be with someone so worthy. Which is what we all are. But when we go into relationships NOT loving ourselves … not loving the person that we are … we sabotage ourselves. We are unable to freely and happily accept love when it comes our way, because it doesn't make sense to us. We call it something else, i.e. weakness, desperation, and neediness on the other person's part, and we put ourselves at risk of perpetually pushing the good ones away.
We have to pursue knowing ourselves, the good and the bad, and come to a place of acceptance and, eventually, a place of appreciation for who we are. You've been through a lot. You've been hurt, you've been failed, you've been lied to, betrayed, mistreated and undervalued. We all have. And because of these things we have arrived at who we are right now … a person with flaws and a person with strengths … and a person who is doing the best that they can, to be the best that they can. Pursue getting to know who you are. Forgive yourself, make goals, write a list of the beautiful qualities you have and the ugly. And love it all. So that when the time comes for you to be loved by someone else, you can accept it from them and know that you are receiving it because you deserve it. And so that when someone treats you poorly, you will value yourself enough to know that it is not what you deserve.

The Miami Heat's championship parade turned political last week, as three planes hauled banners bashing Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
"LeBron, sí! Mayor Gimenez, no!" read one. "The Heat is hot, Mayor Gimenez is not," said another. And the third: "Heat = champs, Mayor Gimenez = chump."
Sasha Tirador, the campaign manager of Gimenez's chief opponent, Commission Chairman Joe Martinez, said Martinez's camp was "absolutely not" behind the banners.
"Whoever did it is an idiot," Tirador said. "There is no place for personal insults in the public forum."

Careers That Don't Require a Lifetime in School
Check out these careers that could get you out of the classroom and into the work force sooner, rather than later.
Want to go back to school to prepare for a career, but don't want to spend a lifetime there? If you're looking for a potentially shorter route from the classroom to the work force than, say, a bachelor's degree, consider earning a certificate or associate's degree.
These programs offer an alternative for students who don't want to earn a bachelor's degree, which generally takes as little as four years to complete.
"You should always remember that there's a program out there for everyone," says Jeanette Stirdivant, college services division chair and academic counselor at Glendale Community College. "And whether it's an associate's, certificate, or vocational program, just make sure that the area of study you choose is going to help you end up where you want to be."
Check out this list of education programs that could prepare you to pursue a career sooner, rather than later.
Career #1: Paralegal
Looking to pursue a career in law - but don't want to take the law school route? You're in luck. As a paralegal, you could develop the skills needed to assist lawyers, without having to endure the long years in school.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, paralegals could help lawyers prepare for hearings, trials, or corporate meetings. Common duties might include researching relevant laws and regulations, drafting documents and reports, and getting affidavits that could be used as evidence in court.
Click to Find the Right Paralegal Studies Program.
Lifetime in School Not Required: A majority of paralegals earn an associate's degree in paralegal studies, notes the Department of Labor. This option could take as little as two years to complete. However, if you already have a bachelor's degree, earning a certificate in paralegal studies is another possible path. The best part? "Some certificate programs only take a few months to complete," says the Department.
Career #2: Bookkeeper
Are you the one who handles all the household accounts: paying bills, checking balances, organizing pay stubs for taxes? If you're looking for a finance career that won't require you to be stuck in school forever, consider bookkeeping.
As a bookkeeper, you might revise business statements, track expenses, and make sure that financial records are accurate, says the U.S. Department of Labor. Depending on the company, bookkeepers could also be responsible for payroll, creating invoices, and billing clients.
Click to Find the Right Accounting Program.
Lifetime in School Not Required: According to the Department of Labor, most bookkeepers are required to have a high school diploma and generally pick up skills on the job. However, some employers favor candidates with some postsecondary education and coursework in accounting. One option to prepare for this career could be an associate's degree in accounting, which could be completed in as little as two years.
Career #3: Medical Assistant
Want to pursue a career where you can care for patients - without going through a decade of schooling? A medical assisting program may be a great option for you.
Medical assistants help keep doctors' offices running smoothly by staying on top of a combination of medical and administrative duties. Tasks could include scheduling appointments, filling out insurance forms, measuring patients' vital signs, and assisting with medical exams, says the U.S. Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Medical Assisting Program.
Lifetime in School Not Required: Although most only have a high school diploma and learn on the job, some states might require assistants to complete an accredited program, which could lead to a certificate or associate's degree in medical assisting, says the Department of Labor. The good news? A certificate could be completed in as little as one year, while an associate's degree could be completed in as little as two years.
Career #4: Computer Support Specialist
Do you want to learn more about solving computer issues? You could be well-suited to prepare to pursue a career as a computer support specialist - which (thankfully) doesn't require you to be in school for four plus years.
As a computer support specialist, you could help companies with their computer needs by making sure that systems are up-to-date, secure, and functioning. Common duties might include testing existing network systems, completing regular network maintenance, and troubleshooting local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs), says the U.S. Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program.
Lifetime in School Not Required: Lucky for you, there are several paths to this career. According to the Department of Labor, while some computer support specialist positions require a bachelor's degree, an associate's degree could be sufficient for other positions. For more technical positions, a degree in computer science, engineering, or information science might be required, adds the Department. If you opt for earning an associate's degree, you'll be happy to know that it's a degree that could be completed in as little as two years.
Career #5: Physical Therapist Assistant
You don't have to attend years of medical school to help make a difference in a patient's life. In fact, as a physical therapist assistant, you could help patients recover after completing an accredited program that's much shorter than medical school.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, physical therapist assistants could work with patients to regain movement and manage pain while recovering from injuries, illnesses, or surgery. To assist with the recovery process, you could teach patients certain exercises and offer therapeutic treatments such as massage and electrical stimulation, adds the Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Physical Therapy Assistant Program.
Lifetime in School Not Required: The Department says that most states require physical therapist assistants to earn an associate's degree from an accredited physical therapist program. This means you could prepare to pursue this career in as little as two years. A lifetime in school? Not in the least.
Note: Time to completion of an associate's or certificate program will vary by a variety of factors, including - but not limited to - level of student commitment, school, and program.

State Rep. Doris Goodale's sister says the Kingman Republican is expected to fully recover from a serious stroke she suffered over the weekend.
Diana Walkup told the Arizona Capitol Times Wednesday that her sister is sitting up in bed at a Las Vegas hospital, is off a ventilator and medication and is regaining felling in her left side.
Goodale will begin an aggressive rehabilitation routine at the hospital soon and transfer to another facility soon, Walkup said.
Goodale has served in the Legislature since 2009 and represents a district centered on Mohave County. She chairs the House Education Committee.
The 2014 session begins in January.
Goodale's husband, Bill Goodale, died in October 2012 several weeks after suffering a stroke.

4 cheap cities to ring in 2010
Take advantage of last-minute travel deals for popular New Year's destinations.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
In Decembers past, a New Year's resolution to travel more stood in conflict with a resolution to save more money. This month, consumers can resolve to do both at once -- before the new year even begins.
This year, drop-offs in regional tourism along with the usual year-end push by the travel industry to meet its financial goals are yielding more last-minute deals on trips to popular destinations for New Year's Eve.
"Cities go all out for New Year's, and hotels are raising the stakes to lure leisure travelers for the long weekend," says Barbara Messing, the vice president for deal-tracking site Travel-Ticker.com. Make no mistake: New Year's Eve is still a high-demand night in cities with notable celebrations, and hotel room rates reflect that. But slumping travel throughout 2009 has kept everyday hotel rates in major cities low.
Consider these four cities to kick off 2010 in style -- but without serious damage to your budget:
New York. Why watch the iconic Times Square ball-drop on TV when you can see it in person? Watch the lighted ball begin its annual ascent at 6 p.m. followed by concerts and entertainment until the countdown at 11:59 p.m. Landing a cheap hotel rate over the holiday won't be easy, but it's an opportune year to try. New York is one of the few cities where hotel rates are starting to recover from recession-inspired drops, says Glen MacDonell, director of travel programs and alliances at AAA.
Sample deal: During Travelocity's Holiday Getaway Sale (through Dec. 31), pay with an American Express card and use code SAVE100AMEX at checkout to save $100 on select hotel bookings. At the Doubletree Hotel, which charges $305 per night for a standard room, that saves you 10%.
Las Vegas. A memorable New Year's Eve is one of the few sure bets in a gambling city. Travelers voted Las Vegas their favorite city for celebrating New Year's Eve in a November survey by Travel-Ticker.com. "They go full out on the entertainment, the party atmosphere," says Messing. A-list entertainers host bashes at every casino nightclub (get tickets to see 50 Cent at Pure in Caesar's Palace, for example, or the Black Eyed Peas at LAX in the Luxor), while the Strip itself, closed to auto traffic, becomes one big street party.
Sample deal: The Stratosphere offers a 10% discount for consumers who book a room for New Year's weekend directly through its Web site. After the discount, a deluxe room for Dec. 31 could cost as little as $180. Weeknight room rates regularly start at $40.
Boston. An entire day of family-friendly New Year's entertainment costs just $18, the price tag of a First Night access button, says Genevieve Shaw Brown, a spokeswoman for travel booking site Travelocity. Art, theater and musical performances kick off at 1 p.m. and don't stop until midnight when fireworks light up the sky over Boston Harbor. Don't miss the centerpiece Grand Procession, a Mardi Gras-style parade through town.
Sample deal: The Westin Boston Waterfront offers 25% off a two-night stay (say, Dec. 30 through Jan. 1), knocking the per-night rate for a standard room down to $153.
Orlando. Theme parks aren't the obvious choice for ringing in 2010, which means there's plenty of hotel availability in Orlando, says MacDonell. Visit Disney's Magic Kingdom for the regular SpectroMagic light show parade at 7 p.m. followed by two rounds of fireworks at 10:30 and 11:50 p.m. Or pay $99 for access to Universal CityWalk's celebration, which includes all-you-can-eat food, a midnight sparkling wine toast and access to live performances by The Temptations and The Four Tops.
Sample deal: Book during Expedia's winter sale and save 30% on rates at the Radisson Resort Orlando. That brings the rate for a standard room from $186 down to $130 per night.

CJ fractured his 5th metatarsal bone in his left foot at practice. Its the same bone he broke when he played for Lehigh last year.....Should we be worried???

I think the injury is a major setback for him but with our bench we really have enough depth with Wright, Wes, Mo and Barton all able to take up minutes at the SG spot. Hope CJ comes back when the time is right and that he's able to contribute. But no rush for now. The last thing we want for him is to come back too early and get injured again.
But from what I've seen and read about him, he seems to have a solid head on his shoulders and his maturity will be good while he sits out recovering. Expect him to come back with even more hunger and with a desire to prove a point.
Posted 10/06/2013 10:10 AM
Now we'll see what the new training staff is made of! So much for my hoping not to see any player in crutches on the sidelines this season!

6 players had injuries in 7 days. Woke up saw a notification on my phone, had a gut feeling someone was injured (thought it was LMA again), and was right. Why us?
Posted 10/06/2013 5:49 PM
Well maybe he wasnt going to contribute much anyways. So now we can give minutes to vets that probably are going to help more in Wins(Wright, Mo, Claver)... Still SUCKS to hear he broke the SAME bone! Poor CJ hope he heals fast!

I think this is just a freak accident. CJ was fully healthy during summer league and was actually looking good from what I've read in all the reports. His injury is extremely unfortunate but that's part of the game. I have no doubt he will come back and will be a force in this team. We drafted Dame after he had been injured and LMA had a little run of injury and health problems in his first 3 seasons. It's just part of being a professional and the risks that come with competing at the highest level.
Posted 10/16/2013 8:06 PM
Cj will be fine, things happen that are out of our control. Before we know it he'll be back on the court, holdin his own. jcross 2.0!

Watermen's Museum
YORKTOWN- Authorities are trying to track down thieves that hit the Watermen's Museum on Water Street in Yorktown.
They didn't take money or artifacts. They stole wood. The yellow pine in the museum yard is used to replicate and restore boats. Officials say that type of wood is hard to come by this time of year.
David Niebuhr, the executive director of the museum, says the thieves knew exactly what they were getting.
"The only thing it's good for is building boats. It's not like furniture wood," he said.
Niebuhr adds the theft will also affect school children who come to the museum to help build boats.
"You're stealing from people who are telling the story you know! We're working with kids we're working with almost no budget and everything we're doing on these boat projects is donated. Most of the classes that we offer are for kids with disabilities and learning issues. We offer them for free and that's who they took it from," he adds.
The wood is valued at $1,500.
If you know anything about the theft, call Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
