The problem is simple. I have installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 in
VMWare Workstation(though I suppose that shouldn't matter, but am not
sure) and I want to set its resolution to 1280 x 800, (which is my
widescreen laptop resolution). But I couldn't find any solution to
this. All the monitors which I selected in the Applications-->System
Settings-->Display, had either 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280 x 960 but
didn't have a 1280x800 resolution. I tried a few things found on the
internet like modifying the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replacing all
the occurrences of 1024x768 by 1280x800, but with no success... it
doesn't show up in the list when I select from the Display.
Any ideas? I know it can be done.
Thanks !

Archdiocese: No confirmation of Philly papal visit
PHILADELPHIA -- Whether Pope Francis will visit Philadelphia during a major gathering of the world's Roman Catholics remained a matter of speculation Friday after the archdiocese said a report he would attend should not be considered confirmation.
The Catholic News Service had published comments that Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput made Thursday in North Dakota, reporting that he announced at a Mass that "Pope Francis has told me that he is coming" to the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia.
The archdiocese, however, cautioned in a statement that Chaput's comments weren't "official confirmation" and that church officials would expect that to come about six months before the event scheduled for September 2015.
"Archbishop Chaput has frequently shared his confidence in Pope Francis' attendance at the World Meeting and his personal conversations with the Holy Father are the foundation for that confidence," the statement said.
A Vatican spokesman added that although Francis has said "he is willing" to attend, there is "no operating plan or preparations underway" for a visit.
The popular Francis has yet to visit the U.S. as pope, and the question of whether he will attend the Philadelphia gathering has drawn intense speculation. Popes have attended five of the past seven such conferences around the globe, and Pope Benedict had announced his intention to come when the city was announced as the venue for the gathering.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, noted that Pope Francis has received other invitations to visit North America, including from New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who met this week with the Vatican's No. 2 official in Rome, as well as one from Mexico.
Benedict made the most recent papal visit to the U.S. in 2008.

Q:I want to use this for a stage set that needs to be collapsed and carried off quickly. Can two people stand behind it and then fold it and carry it off? How are the front pieces shipped. For instance if it is 9' wide does it come in three 3' sections each folded in half vertically or two sections folded in half?
1 answer
A:The parts that come are a right half, left half and a stand for the back with tape and tubes on back.
Q:Do you allow customization. Can the name be changed to CITRUS SALOON instead OF WATERING HOLE? What is the fee, and time frame?
1 answer
A:This item is not customizable and has 3 days for production.
Q:how wide is the doorway
1 answer
A:The 10 foot high x 9 feet 11 inches wide x 1 foot deep cardboard mural has doors that can be positioned opened. The door opening measures 25 inches wide x 70 inches high.
Q:can silhouette be changed or removed from Old West Watering Hole and can sign be changed as well?
1 answer
A:I do apologize but the Old West Watering Hole can not be modified in any way.
Q:We have 8ft ceiling could we cut this down? How many pieces does it have.Is the top a single piece.
2 answers
A:The Old West Watering Hole comes in 5 pieces. We do not recommend that you cut this down as it can damage the stability of the item.
A:The visible front portion is two pieces split vertically at a point between the left side of the doorway and the window. Each piece is accordion folded several times to fit in the shipping box. The two halves tape together. Four structural parts are included fort attachment to the back -- two tall pylons, and two cardboard tubes. The cardboard tubes are taped across the seam between the two parts to reinforce the rigidity. The pylons hold the set in the standing position. When completely assembled there is still some flexibility, but it is still stiff enough to be moved by two people in a standing position and is remarkably stable for its height. I don't see why you could not (carefully) cut off the roof section to make it fit an 8ft ceiling.
Q:Trying to find out what the dimensions of the "Watering Hole" sign are?? We are thinking about using this for a booth at a Chili Cook Off with a western theme...but want to use our own sign with our company logo...
2 answers
A:The measurements are 10 ft 1 inch high x 9 ft 11 inches wide x 1 ft deep as listed.
A:simple math looks like the sign is 7 ft wide but if you call they are really good at assisting in personalization of their products. I have been using their products for my past 12 parties no less than 200 guests each. I am never disappointed in the product although you should order early and request that you be home in case of rain as it is all cardboard.

BELLEFONTE (AP) - From former players to faculty members, a mini-cross section of the Penn State community has partnered with the late head coach Joe Paterno's family in suing the NCAA to overturn the landmark sanctions against the school for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
While the Paternos are the headliners among the plaintiffs in the civil suit filed Thursday in Centre County court, 19 others with ties to Penn State are also seeking a jury trial to reverse what they call the NCAA's swift and unlawful punishment of the storied football program.
Paul Kelly, an attorney representing trustees, faculty, and former players and coaches, said the action related to the impact on "the entire Penn State community."
"I would say the overwhelming majority of the complaints and the facts really relate to ... due process, and the fairness and actions of the NCAA," Kelly said in a phone interview. "It's much broader than (the Paterno family's claims) and I hope people realize that."
Therefore, Kelly said, his clients had no other choice but to turn to the courts "since the NCAA acted in an area in which it had no authority, failed to follow its own rules, forcibly imposed an onerous result on innocent parties" and refused to recognize appeal efforts.
In Irving, Texas, NCAA president Mark Emmert - named as a defendant in the lawsuit - said he had not reviewed the filing and declined comment Thursday on individual cases. He spoke to reporters after addressing Big 12 Conference presidents and athletic directors during their spring meeting.
"We have a number of lawsuits out there around a number of cases ... I'm perfectly fine to have an opportunity for us to state our case and have it heard in a court of law, then we'll let a legal system do its work," he said. "Again, I'm always happy for the NCAA and for college athletics to make its case because I think it's got a pretty powerful case for what it is and what it does."
The 40-page filing culminated months of rumors about whether the Paterno family and others would enter the already complex web of litigation over the sanctions. Most notably, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA.
Penn State itself is not a party in the latest suit. The university Wednesday said it remained committed to fully complying with the sanctions levied last July, including a four-year bowl ban, steep scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine.
The Associated Press left messages Thursday for a spokesman for former FBI director Louis Freeh. His scathing report for the university on the scandal concluded that Paterno and three school officials conspired to conceal allegations Sandusky, a retired defensive coordinator.
Those conclusions have been strongly denied by Paterno's family and the officials. The lawsuit blasts Freeh's report as an "unreliable rush to injustice," and that the NCAA improperly relied on the findings instead of conducting its own investigation.
Acting with uncharacteristic speed, the NCAA delivered its punishment less than two weeks after Freeh's findings were issued.
"The road may be long and the fight will be tough, but in the end, we will do right for Penn State," the trustees, faculty members, and ex-coaches and players in the case wrote in a letter Thursday to other former players explaining the action.
"Everyone involved deserves fairness, due process, truth and a just outcome - and this is our cause," they wrote.
Besides the Paterno family, Paterno's son, Jay Paterno, is listed separately as a plaintiff - as one of two former assistant coaches - along with Bill Kenney.
The other 18 plaintiffs are:
-Trustees Ryan McCombie, Anthony Lubrano, Adam Taliaferro, Peter Khoury and Al Clemens. McCombie, Lubrano and Taliaferro weren't on the board in November 2011, when the board fired Paterno -a decision that still irks many alumni and former players. Taliaferro is also a former player who gained notoriety for his recovery from a severe spinal cord injury during a game in 2000.
McCombie, in a letter Wednesday to trustees chair Keith Masser explaining his position, said the Penn State case was an example of how the NCAA was an "out-of-control monopoly" that uses its power to threaten and bully members.
Khoury is a graduate student and a gubernatorial appointee to the board in October 2011, a month before the scandal hit. Clemens was on the board in 1998 and 2001, during which Freeh said Paterno and the school officials covered up allegations against Sandusky.

Magical items
this wiki
Magical items are various types of items with magical properties in the series.
Some are able to help focus a wizards power. Others have innate properties. While others need to be innitiated. Harry Dresden is known to employ items like these owing to his lack of fine control over his power. It is not known how common these are among the general wizard populace.
- Main article: Focus
Foci are specially prepared objects which magical practioners use as tools in performing acts of magic. Some examples are:
Other itemsEdit
There are other items items known to have other properties. Some of these include: leather that has been strengthened enough to be used as body armor; rings that are able to store energy that would be released as a wave of kinetic force; a thaumaturgical model of Chicago. The swords used by the Wardens have the ability to break any enchantment.
Some items, like the Wardens' swords, have to be individually attuned to its wielder in order to be used.
Harry has a silver belt buckle that contains a reservoir of energy that he uses to fortify himself in dire situations. He touches it and whispers: "Fortius". Then he gets filled with the life energy of magic; it can be called chi or mana. Harry gets filled with excitement, hope, confidence, and feels ready to fight if need be.[1]
Harry's duster: the duster has been strengthened into what amounts to an extremely effective body armor. It is so effective that Harry Dresden has crouched down and pulled it over his head in a wave of automatic gunfire. Side effects of the enchantment include it being unable to be stained and being waterproof.

Do you know what a "pro-ana" website is? It's not new, but the idea is considered just as dangerous as ever before. Pro-ana is short for pro-anorexic. As crazy as it sounds, yes, there are websites that promote anorexia as a good thing for some ungodly reason. It's thought that there are over 500 pro-ana and pro-mia (pro-bulimia) websites. It's because of this that opponents are working with social networking websites to combat the phenomenon. More on this subject here.

Wed at the age of 16, "Now, at 19, she's interested in exploring life as an unmarried single young adult – with the freedom to explore her independence," her rep told the U.K.'s Daily Mail. Without reading too much into that loaded statement, we're going to assume a return to dating is on the horizon for the aspiring country singer, and given her past preferences, we've narrowed down our suggestions by age range. Meet your matches, Courtney!
Options 1-3: The Young and the Restless
Filmmagic(2); Invision / AP
Let's start with everyone's favorite Hunger Games heartthrob (sorry, Liam Hemsworth): The 21-year-old actor is charming, witty and cute, but most importantly, Stodden would only have to change her married last name by a few letters if the two were to wed.
Jason Aldean
Just like Stodden, 36-year-old Aldean is recently single following his split from wife Jessica Ussery, and he could probably aid the budding country crooner with both her career and in coping with her divorce.
Naveen Andrews
If there's any positive outcome from her marriage to Hutchison, it could be that Stodden got a chance to meet her former hubby's hunky Lost costar Andrews, 44, who himself abides by "age is just a number" when it comes to relationships.
Options 4-6: Older and (Hopefully) Wiser
Wireimage; Abaca; Startraks
The actor has yet to move on following his breakup with Jenny McCarthy, and while we hate to generalize, perhaps another blonde bombshell is just the ticket for the 51-year-old comedian.
Flavio Briatore
He's romanced Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell, so there's nothing Stodden could bring to the table the 63-year-old Italian businessman and one-time racing magnate couldn't handle. Now that's life in the fast lane.
Hugh Hefner
Blonde hair. Big boobs. Of all the options we've named, is there anyone more suited for Stodden than Playboy's 87-year-old founding father? Didn't think so.

Capgeek says it would cost $15M of real money to buy Franzen out. Real money matter way more than cap money. This is quite different from buying out a guy with 1 or 2 years left. And Wings would have to take cap hit from this buyout for the next 14 years.
I'm relatively certain the point of the amnesty buyouts is that it offers cap relief. The team doing the buying out would not have a cap hit.

Bi Rite Creamery
Bi Rite Creamery
3692 18th St
San Francisco, CA 94110
On my dessert run in San Francisco a few months ago, the one place I didn't get a chance to try was Bi Rite Creamery. The line was simply too long and I felt too guilty to let my non-foodie friends wait for the ice cream. I've been wanting to visit ever since.
On this last trip to San Francisco for the Foodbuzz Festival, I had all sorts of spots I wanted to visit while in SF like the farmer's market, the Ferry Building, the amazing melt-in-your-mouth Dynamo Donuts I had last time, and of course Bi Rite Creamery. Unfortunately, the schedule was so packed or I was so exhausted that I didn't get to do any of these things–except Bi Rite Creamery.
The traffic getting to Bi Rite was awful, but I just had to visit. Luckily there was no line out the door this time. Bi Rite specializes in making small batches of ice cream with local ingredients. They offer a few select flavors a day. Many have proclaimed this place to be the "best ice cream." It has over 2000 positive reviews on yelp.
On the day I went, there were about 8 flavors available. I sampled a few before deciding. Unfortunately, none of the flavors were ones I was particularly interested in. Lately, I've really been into more unique flavors, and Bi Rite's offerings were more common and mainstream.
I chose a creme fraiche and a honey lavender, which were two of the more "unique" offerings. BF got a vanilla and cookies and cream. The ice cream was creamy and rich. It was one of those things where at first bite, I wasn't that impressed, but as I kept eating, I really began to admire the rich and creamy texture. I think Bi Rite Creamery serves some delicious ice cream. It's not my favorite ice cream shop though. I also wish they had some more unique flavor offerings, like Slocombe Ice Cream, which is nearby.
12 Responses to "Bi Rite Creamery"
when i was in san fran i went to a different bi-rite location and loved it. i remember them having some great flavors and toppings, i wonder if this location is different? mmm i could go for some of that ice cream now!
Sounds great! How does it compare to Neiderfranks?
hi kirbie
yay – bi-rite! i am so behind in my SF posts – we went here too and on the same DAY, Humphrey Slocombe. my poor lactose intolerant husband. there was a long line out the door when we went – but it went quickly. i also picked up a couple of items from their bakeshop next door.
If you are into unique flavors and in LA you should definitely try Scoops – Very unique and unusal flavors
hi kirbie – i liked bi-rite. even though their flavors weren't as wild, they were easier on my tongue. you'll see why when i do the posts. i am going to post the bi-rite tonight…
our friend had the "secret breakfast" flavor as well – it was pretty good.
Oh Bi Rite how I miss thee. I want some now!

Capt. Amy Burin will fit right in at her new home in the Lowcountry.
Burin was installed as the first female commanding officer of Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) Systems Center Atlantic in a change-of-command ceremony Thursday morning. She is the third commanding officer of SSC Atlantic and takes over for Capt. Mark V. Glover, a Walterboro native, as he begins a new tour of command in San Diego.
"I wish I could thank all 13,000 of you, but that would take another tour of duty," Glover said of SPAWAR.
Burin, 49, comes to SPAWAR after an assignment at the Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance as deputy director of Navy Space.
Rear Adm. Patrick H. Brady, commander of SPAWAR, said there are "few events that compare to the transfer of authority."
Brady applauded Glover's accomplishments and presence as commanding officer of SSC Atlantic, including SPAWAR's efforts to host STEM events for local students. Glover said the Lowcountry's "unity of effort" with the military is "unparalleled" to other places he has been.
"Mark was focused on people and developing the workforce," Brady said of Glover, who presented flowers to his wife Thursday for her support.
Burin said she plans on following in her predecessor's footsteps by playing an active role in the community.
Burin said she most looks forward to the new job, but also the opportunities to experience the wildlife in the Lowcountry.
Burin is an active member of Phoenix Landing, a growing East Coast domestic bird rescue organization. She said she still plans on continuing her involvement with the organization while working in the new position.
"I'm a big wildlife fan. The wetlands are in my backyard. Just driving to work will be a pleasure," Burin said.
She said she plans to visit Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner Friday with her family and looks forward to visiting other local attractions.
Burin was born in Detroit, and began her military career in May 1984 as an enlisted member in the hospital corps, U.S. Naval Reserve, while attending the University of Michigan's College of Engineering. She was commissioned an ensign in the Navy in September 1988.
Her resume includes work in undersea surveillance systems, subspecialties in intelligence and antisubmarine warfare, and she has a master's degree in astronautical engineering. Burin has twice been selected as a naval astronaut candidate to the National Aeronautics & Space Administration Astronaut Candidate Program.

(Re: Letter to the editor, Feb. 21, "City Commission shows lack of courage.")
Leigh Bratcher's point about the lack of courage on the part of the Amarillo City Commission illustrates how far we have come to depend on elected officials to "take care of us," as if we are incapable of doing so ourselves.
It is obvious that exponential expansion of government "responsibilities" do little to actually resolve perceived "problems," and serve only to further erode our rights.
I understand that government regulation is needed in many areas, but our "leaders" are not elected to baby-sit the public - especially at the expense of our genuine rights to manage our livelihood.
I believe the City Commission did exactly the right thing in presenting this issue to the citizens again.
It is unfortunate that we have to bear the expense of another vote, since the voters have already stated their opinion, but it is much better that the decision be made by the citizenry and not by the Commission.
How can this even be a point of contention? It seems obvious that we should be grateful for any decisions we are allowed to make.
They are getting fewer all the time.

FBI changes technique in search for possible 'Speed Freak' victims
Search continues in Linden
It's been one month since the FBI has been searching a well in Linden for more murder victims of the so-called Speed Freak Killers, Wes Shermantine and Loren Herzog.
The FBI has announced it is now changing its search technique and plans to excavate the entire well in Linden.
Investigators said the new technique will speed up the process.
But some family members of potential victims said they have waited long enough.
"We hear they might be digging, and we get excited because we think we will get some answers, but then there is always some kind of delay -- and it's frustrating," said Sue Kizer, the mother of potential victim Gayle Marks.
Kizer said she misses her daughter Gayle every day.
"You think about it, and don't know if she was strangled or raped or tortured. She didn't deserve it and I hope they burn in hell," Kizer said.
The FBI said they are 86 feet deep.
Investigators do not know how deep the well is, but they told KCRA 3 that the goal is to find more victims before hitting the bottom of the well.
Meanwhile, convicted killer Shermantine is adamant the FBI is digging in the wrong well.

When your NC is plugged into your PC, you should see internal storage and the SD card as two separate drives. Just copy the files over, then delete them on internal.

Erin Wasson ups the ante for Ash in its S/S campaign
The S/S 2013 campaign from Ash Footwear, starring Erin Wasson
Founded in 2000, Ash Footwear really only came to prominence in the last two years, with the designing of their wedged sneaker, which was a great dupe for Isabel Marant's original – and Ash's range of wedge sneakers proved really popular, with chunky and slim varieties available.
But (wo)man can not exist on wedge sneakers alone, and so Ash had to branch out – this season, the designers behind the brand have looked to the Wild West for inspiration in a line of seriously slick cowboy-style boots and tough work boots with studded detailing. And, of course, the wedge sneaker makes a slight appearance, in a gold iteration that Erin Wasson somehow manages to make look brand new all over again.

Tampa Bay Rays turn to medicine man
June 11, 2014
BY MARK PERNER, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
THE PHILLIES ARE in an awful slump, have dropped 11 games below .500 and have the worst record in the National League. The Tampa Bay Rays are 24-41 and have the worst record in the majors. So what are the teams doing about it? The Phillies appear to be standing pat, waiting for a hot streak, waiting for their .210, .220 and .230 hitters to catch fire and for their starting pitchers to find the strike zone. The Rays have a different approach, which is nothing new for Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon.

Tampa Bay Rays sweep Phillies, 3-2 and 7-3, in Sunday doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park
June 25, 2012
By Marc Narducci, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Antonio Bastardo had one bad inning. Cliff Lee had two bad innings. As a result, the Phillies suffered through one extremely bad day, and night, suffering a split-doubleheader loss Sunday to the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park. Lee allowed three runs in the second inning and two in the sixth during the Phillies' 7-3 evening loss to the Rays. After Cole Hamels had thrown seven shutout innings in Game 1, Bastardo came on in the eighth and allowed two walks and Carlos Pena's three-run home run in a 3-2 defeat.
Inside the Phillies: Manager Charlie Manuel not at his best in Sunday's doubleheader loss to Tampa Bay Rays
June 26, 2012
By Bob Brookover, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
It was a #badloss, and the line of questioning afterward appealed to Charlie Manuel about as much as his late-inning bullpen bridge to closer Jonathan Papelbon. Already grumpy after watching Antonio Bastardo turn seven shutout innings from Cole Hamels into a 3-1 deficit in the top of the eighth inning, Manuel also had to answer for his own handling of the bench Sunday as the Phillies tried to rally in the bottom of the eighth in the first game of a doubleheader. "You guys ought to sit in the dugout with me and give me all the scenarios if you don't think I know them," the manager told reporters, mixing his Southern drawl with biting sarcasm.

Rays' sting goes way over the line
April 5, 2013
BY TOM MAHON, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
MASCOTS ARE supposed to romp among the fans, kiss babies, flirt with the ladies and act silly. Someone, it seems, forgot to tell that to Raymond, the blue creature (he's supposed to be a sea dog) employed by the Tampa Bay Rays. On Wednesday, in a home game against the Orioles, a fan with a sick sense of humor handed Raymond a sign. The mascot looked it over and then held it up. Bad move. As you can see from the photo, it wasn't funny. Steve Irwin, you might remember, was better known as the host of "The Crocodile Hunter" TV show.
Times set for remainder of Phillies-Cardinals
October 2, 2011
DAILY NEWS STAFFThose late bedtimes on school nights have to wait until the next round of the baseball playoffs for Phillies fans
The start times for the remainder of the first round were announced tonight and the Phillies and Cardinals will play at 5:07 p.m. on Tuesday in Game 3 and 6:07 p.m. on Wednesday in Game 4, if necessary. The Game 4 start time could move back to 8:07 if that is the only game, should the Brewers-Diamondbacks series end in a sweep. Both games 3 and 4 are scheduled to be in St. Louis. If Game 5 is needed, the Phillies would host an 8:37 start on Friday, if both NLDS go the distance.
Phillies sign veteran infielder
November 21, 2013
THE PHILLIES have signed veteran infielder Reid Brignac to a minor league contract that includes an invitation to spring training. Brignac, who turns 28 in January, is a versatile, lefthanded-hitting reserve who provides inventory, not unlike the roles Michael Martinez and Pete Orr have held in the last few seasons. A former top prospect with the Tampa Bay Rays, Brignac hit .185 in 46 games with the Colorado Rockies and New York Yankees in 2013. Brignac is a career .221 hitter with a .573 OPS in 302 games with Tampa, Colorado and New York.

Baseball Notes: Ex-Phillie Myers gets 1-year deal with Indians
January 2, 2013
The Cleveland Indians have agreed to terms with free-agent righthander Brett Myers on a one-year contract. Myers, who pitched for Houston and the Chicago White Sox last season, will get a chance to win a spot in Cleveland's starting rotation. His deal with the Indians includes a club option for 2014. It will not be finalized until he passes a physical. Myers went 3-4 with a 3.14 ERA in 35 relief appearances with the White Sox, who acquired him in a July trade with the Astros.

Phillies' Hellickson will make first opening-day start
April 5, 2016
By Marc Narducci, STAFF WRITER
Phillies righthander Jeremy Hellickson won the American League Rookie of the Year award and a Gold Glove with the Tampa Bay Rays. He has pitched in two playoff series, but when Hellickson takes the mound for the Phillies on Monday in their season opener in Cincinnati, it will be a new experience. He has never been an opening-day starter. "The emotions will be high," Hellickson said Saturday. ". . . The adrenaline is going to be flowing and I am going to be really excited and grateful for the opportunity and I am looking forward to it. " Hellickson, who turns 29 on Friday, was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in the offseason for minor-league pitcher Sam McWilliams.
Phillies open-minded when it comes to closer
February 23, 2016
By David Murphy, Daily News Columnist
CLEARWATER, Fla. - This might be one of those things that only interests me - Lord knows there's enough of them - but the Phillies' approach to the closer position this year might be more emblematic of the organization's philosophical shift than any other spot on the roster. Sunday afternoon, a reporter asked Pete Mackanin for a synopsis of the criteria he will use to select the pitcher who gets the first crack at the ninth inning once the regular season starts, and he instead offered a verbal shrug.
Reasons to cheer Phillies' Nola, Eagles' Bradford and their fans
July 26, 2015
Ed Rendell, For the Daily News
THIS PAST TUESDAY, my son Jesse and I went to see the Phillies play the Tampa Bay Rays. Like many fans, we went to see the Phils' best pitching prospect, Aaron Nola, make his major league debut. I was lucky enough to have great seats about 12 rows behind home plate, which provided a great vantage point to gauge Nola's command and his "stuff. " Nola was extremely impressive in the six innings he pitched, holding the Rays to only one run and five hits, while striking out six and walking only one. To Phillies fans who have been starved for anything to get excited about, this confirmed that Nola was the next Cy Young, Robin Roberts or, at least, Doc Halladay.
Odubel Herrera bulls Phillies past Rays
July 24, 2015
BY RYAN LAWRENCE, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
THEY CALL him "El Torito," which translates to "The Little Bull. " They've carried a small, stuffed animal bull to ballparks across America to help inspire energetic, 23-year-old converted outfielder Odubel Herrera since the second month of the season. They mobbed him when the most successful homestand of the Phillies season ended with his 10th inning, walkoff pinch-hit in a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday afternoon. As he packed his bags for Chicago, and before first-base coach Juan Samuel helped translate his words from Spanish for a postgame interview, Herrera was asked if the little mascot doll was accounted for. "Chooch has it," Herrera said, referring to catcher Carlos Ruiz.
Phillies need to take healthy look at injury-prevention data
July 16, 2015
By David Murphy, Daily News Columnist
Second of three parts For part one, click HERE . IT IS AUGUST in the year 2021. Phillies pitching coach Jonathan Papelbon arrives at the office, tosses his copy of the New York Times on the desk, and logs onto his computer, where an email from the team's biomechanics coach is waiting. The data from the previous night's game showed several deviations from Aaron Nola's baseline measurements. Elbow angle, stride length, hip rotation - each figure is in an area that suggests fatigue.
Baseball Notes: Rays' Cobb expected to miss opener
March 20, 2015
From Staff and Wire Reports
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Alex Cobb has tendinitis in his right forearm and will miss his opening-day start against Baltimore. The team announcement Wednesday followed the 27-year-old righthander's removal after throwing three perfect innings in a 5-3 win over the Phillies on Tuesday. Cobb had an MRI after the game. The Rays hope Cobb can return in mid-to-late April. Ellsbury hurt Jacoby Ellsbury will be shut down for about one week after an MRI exam confirmed he has a mild oblique strain, the Yankees announced.
Phillies Notes: Buchanan surprisingly strikes out 6 for Phillies
March 19, 2015
By Jake Kaplan, Inquirer Staff Writer
CLEARWATER, Fla. - David Buchanan will be the first to tell you he's not a strikeout pitcher. But the 25-year-old righthander will take the six he recorded Tuesday in the first three innings of the Phillies' 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. "I got away with a few pitches. I'm not going to lie," he said. "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good in this game. " Buchanan, all but a lock for the Phillies rotation in the wake of Cliff Lee's elbow injury, allowed one run on two hits in four innings.
Landing spot for Ryan Howard?
January 13, 2015
BY RYAN LAWRENCE, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
JIMMY ROLLINS was introduced as a Dodger last week and Marlon Byrd will report to camp with the Reds, not the Phillies, when spring training begins next month. Subtracting one-fourth of the regular lineup is a start, but it's difficult to label the Phillies' rebuilding efforts this winter as anything more than minor until the biggest hurdle toward fixing the future is cleared. Ryan Howard remains a Philadelphia Phillie. The front office would like to change that fact within the next 6 weeks.
Baseball Notes: Mariners' Cano breaks his toe in Japan, is likely out 3-4 weeks
November 16, 2014
Mariners star Robinson Cano is expected to miss three to four weeks after breaking a toe during the Major League Baseball All-Stars tour of Japan. Seattle said Saturday that Cano will not need a cast and that the injury will heal with rest. He will likely be able to resume baseball activities in mid-December. The second baseman was hit by a pitch on the right foot during a 4-0 loss in Tokyo on Saturday. X-rays revealed a fracture in his small toe. Cano signed a $240 million, 10-year contract with the Mariners before last season.

The blaze on Belmont Avenue in Jersey City has spread to two attached buildings and a total of seven buildings -- all multi-family homes -- have been affected, Jersey City fire officials said this afternoon.
Firefighters responded just before noon to 27 Belmont Ave. and found heavy fire on the first floor, Fire Chief Darren Rivers said. The blaze, which has now gone to a fourth alarm, then went up the walls into the cockloft and from there it spread laterally, Rivers added.
There has been a partial roof collapse at 27 Belmont, which officials believe is a three-family building. The fire has also spread to 29 and 25 Belmont, while there is a smoke condition at 23 and 31 Belmont, fire officials said.
There have been no injuries reported, Fire Director Armando Roman said. Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy was also at the scene this afternoon.
Residents in the buildings have been evacuated, but it appears that many were probable at work or at school at the time the fire broke out, officials said.
"This was a fast-spreading fire because the buildings are attached," Roman said.
Diane Concannon, of the American Red Cross, said 10 families were affected, 23 people total. The Red Cross is assisting eight of those families find temporary lodging, while the remaining two were insured and are taken care of tonight, Concannon said.
Roman said that as many as 100 firefighters are on the scene attempting to keep the blaze from spreading to more attached buildings on the block between Crescent and Summit avenues.
Belmont Avenue has been closed from Summit to Monticello avenues and Summit Avenue is closed from Fairmount to Communipaw avenues.

The trouble with most weight-reducing schemes, explains Elmer Lipsey, 57, is that "it's easy to know how many calories you're taking in but, until now, it's been impossible to know how many calories you're using." The difference between the two figures determines whether one is losing or gaining weight. Now, with Lipsey's Cal-Count, a battery-powered, two-ounce microcomputer, dieters can monitor themselves while they burn the calories away. They could find, for example, that they use 750 calories an hour jogging, 75 typing and 260 skiing. Sex, says Lipsey, registers at around 150.
All the user has to do is punch in age, gender, height and weight, strap the Cal-Count to his or her waist or tuck it into a shirt pocket and wait for the bad news. Bad? "Most people are shocked to find how few calories they use," says the 6', 207-pound Lipsey. "For instance, an Olympic sprinter running a 100-yard dash uses up only about 10 calories."
The device, which Lipsey's Springfield, Va. electronics manufacturing firm sells for $69.95, measures activity somewhat like a pedometer. It calculates body movement per second and converts that figure into calories according to a Mayo Clinic metabolic chart for adults. Lipsey invented a prototype of his counter to help heart patients keep accurate exercise records. But the lengthy process of getting FDA approval led him to redesign the device for nonmedical use.
Like his father, the L.A.-raised inventor was a career officer in the Coast Guard, and before his retirement in 1964 developed a dozen pieces of military hardware including a communications system for the Polaris submarine. Until now his company has focused on military projects.
The Cal-Count will be available nationwide next month. For now, Lipsey's wife, Nona, 38, rents Cal-Counts to her PTA for fund-raising bazaars. They are not accurate for children under 19, because kids burn calories at a much faster rate than grown-ups, but the Lipsey kids, Robert, 6, and Rebecca, 5, jog with them for fun. (Elmer also has three children, aged 27 to 33, from his first marriage.) "I may have another Hula Hoop," the inventor says. "But if not, I've already gotten a return on my investment." Wife Nona has dropped from a size 18 to a size 8.

Important deadlines are coming up
I would like to alert our taxpayers about several important deadlines that are fast approaching for property-tax relief benefits, Interdistrict School Choice and FEMA relief.
The Homestead Benefit Credit and Senior Freeze Program provide property-tax relief to qualifying households, including people who meet income guidelines and/or are senior citizens or disabled. For those who are eligible and have yet to apply, the deadline is Oct. 31. More information is available at state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/.
Families with school-age children may be interested in pursuing public school options outside of their district. The deadline for submitting a notice of intent to participate in the school choice program is due in the superintendent's office of your child's home district by Nov. 1. The student's application to a choice district is due Dec. 1. More information is available at state.nj.us/education/choice.
The deadline for applying for disaster recovery assistance through FEMA has been extended to Nov. 30. Anyone who sustained damages in a declared disaster area due to Hurricane Irene may call FEMA directly at (800) 621-3362.
My office is available to provide information to constituents on any of these programs.

The writer, a Democrat, represents the 15th District in the New Jersey Senate. Her office can be reached at (609) 530-3277 or via e-mail:
Wake up and sign the petition
The effort to recall Trenton Mayor Tony Mack is unprecedented, and any speculation as to its success misses the point: Citizens of Trenton are weary of Mr. Mack's countless blunders and incompetence. Indeed, many have already signed the recall petition ("Trenton recall volunteers amp up effort to push Mack out of office," Oct. 23), and by the Nov. 14 deadline, it appears that a majority of voters who actually participate in elections will have signed. Regardless of the outcome, this robust initiative speaks volumes about the utter dissatisfaction of Trenton voters.
Mr. Mack seems to believe that being mayor, a title for which he is underqualified, affords him enormous, unchecked power and the unfettered ability to serve his own interests. He has no concept of what it means to be a servant leader. Instead, he chooses a style that mirrors old-school demagogues who wielded power and served themselves. This myopic view of his role as Trenton's chief executive makes vividly clear why he must be recalled.
In this climate of economic downturn, record levels of unemployment and extreme poverty, real political power must be wielded by the people. This is a wake-up call to the "sleeping giant" — the 70 percent of registered voters and those who never registered, who for years chose only to stir, yawn and roll over, instead of exercising their hard-won right to vote. Our forebears paid a supreme price for the right of each of us to participate in the political process. Signing the recall petition, then electing a responsible, highly qualified leader is the best way we can honor their sacrifice.
-- James B. Golden Jr.,
The writer, a former Trenton police director, has formally declared an intention to run against Trenton Mayor Tony Mack if a special election takes place.
Princetonians, have your say at the ballot box
Here's another letter about consolidation.
I came to Princeton 12 years ago. It's fascinating. After reading the letters, ads, pros and cons, it seems to me that:
1) Princetonians always have to have a say about everything;
2) Princetonians against consolidation say they consider Princeton one town. However, they don't want to consolidate, which means "to bring together separate parts into a single, unified whole. To discard the unused or unwanted items and organize the remaining ones. To strengthen." Hmmm; and
3) Princetonians against consolidation believe that the township and the borough have different cultures and natures. Somebody, please elaborate, because I don't understand: Walking in the streets of Princeton, I can't tell by looking who is a resident of either.
What does "the walking nature of the borough residents" even mean? We live in the township and my husband walks or rides his bike everywhere. Lots of people do that.
Taxes. Topic for a whole other letter.
Some Princetonians are neither for nor against consolidation. They just want the dialogue to continue. Really? For how long?
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it." What about fixing it because it'll make it better? Change can be good.
I am for consolidation. It's plain common sense: one government for a town of 30,000 people.
In the U.S., voting is not mandatory; it's a right. From where I sit, voting is a duty. When everybody votes, the majority's decision is discerned (even though it might not be the right one). That is democracy.
Whether you are for or against consolidation, let yourselves be heard: Get out and vote.
-- Sandra J. Bierman,
Princeton Township
Building on the boulevard will affect our quality of life
The Robbinsville Township decision-makers need to listen to the outcry from Foxmoor residents, take seriously our petition against the planned three-story commercial building on Washington Boulevard and limit commercial expansion to the areas designated as such along Routes 33 and 130 ("Foxmoor resident sues over office building plan," Oct. 21).
I have lived in the Foxmoor community for more than 20 years. I remember the cornfields on one side of Washington Boulevard, facing the shopping center on the other side. We could walk, bicycle and cross the street safely. Behind the shopping center is a bucolic spot teeming with wildlife and greenery. Owned by the township, it is where the new three-story building, if approved, will be "planted." Ugh!
Today, the cornfields are gone. Due to commercial and residential growth, the clear message to area pedestrians, joggers, bicyclists, schoolchildren, the elderly and the disabled is: get out of the way of drivers in a hurry all along the boulevard. That bucolic spot behind the shopping center may become a memory, as well, if the building is approved by our township leaders.
Let's not add more traffic, more congestion and more hazards for Foxmoor residents to negotiate. I ask our township to do the right thing and keep the commercial creep out of our back yards.
-- Sylvia Robbins-Hillen,
Cooperation, not consolidation
The decision about whether to consolidate the two Princetons boils down to two questions. Both questions are raised by the relatively minimal tax savings from staff cuts and a hoped-for elimination of redundancies projected by our consolidation commission.
First, presented with a choice between saving $1 a day (not counting weekends and holidays) and depriving 17 of my neighbors and fellow citizens of good, secure jobs, which do I choose?
For me, it is a no-brainer: I choose to save their jobs rather than my $1, which won't even buy a cup of coffee at Small World.
Second, the two entities have already shown that they know how to work together (13 joint agencies and all that). If we can cooperate without consolidating, why consolidate?
I think the answer is that consolidation will make it easier to develop the downtown. (One head is easier to sway than two.) I support development of the downtown, but I also support making sure that all those affected by such development have a say in the conditions that affect them in proportion to their stake in the outcome.
Therefore, I do not support consolidation.
I urge our elected officials to continue to work together to find ways in which the two municipalities can cooperate to preserve Princeton as the livable, lovable town it is. And I encourage all residents to vote yes for jobs, yes for cooperation, and no for consolidation.

Princeton Borough

University of Texas AD Is Not Stepping Down
A Texas spokesperson has denied a report that Longhorn athletic director DeLoss Dodds would step down at the end of the year.
Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com reported Friday that Dodds would move from the athletic director's chair to a "consulting role" for the Longhorns by the end of 2013. But Longhorn spokesperson Nick Voinis told CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd that the report was "absolutely not true."
A Dodds departure would hypothetically be another blow to Mack Brown's chances of retaining the Texas head coaching job. Dodds has consistently supported Brown -- including in the wake of Texas's embarrassing loss to BYU last Saturday -- despite the Longhorns' struggles in recent seasons.

Paint industry experts say that about 95 percent of do-it-yourself interior wall painting is done with a roller. Even a rank amateur can use a paint roller because they're simple to use, effective and fast.
"They're extremely handy,'' said Gary Griffin of Middleton-Griffin Painting Co., 100 S. Bowie St. "You can cover more area quicker, and put up more paint in a day than a brush.
"You don't even get as good a job spraying. Spraying has its place, but it requires more masking and covering up your furniture, and invariably you're going to overspray on something.''
Even if rollers are usually the way to go, there are things you should know to get the most work done while exerting the least energy.
The most important part of the paint roller is the roller cover, a two-part contraption consisting of the core and the fabric cover. The best type of core is made of phenolic-impregnated craft paper, said Rick Palmer, owner of Palmer Painting Co. Inc., 204 N. Taylor St.
This core is made through an interesting process. First, craft paper is rolled into a continuous tube that looks like a cardboard mailer. Next, the paper tube is pressure-injected with a special resin and the whole thing is then sent into an oven and heat-cured.
The resultant core is a hard material that is resistant to paint solvents, and creates a tube that is nearly impossible for the average person to crush. Plastic, on the other hand, will soften in certain solvents, and a plastic core that is not perfectly round will "bump'' on the surface resulting in an uneven distribution of paint.
Both water and solvents will soften the cheapest of the three cores - the plain-cardboard type. A plain-cardboard roller core will generally not hold up any longer than it takes to paint one room.
Top-quality rollers pick up and release more paint per fill and provide more uniform coverage with less effort. Inexpensive rollers tend to mat-down, reducing the amount of paint the roller will hold and requiring more frequent fillings.
The fabric covering also has much to do with the quality of a good roller cover. Unfortunately, all the commonly used fabrics are available in many grades, and, therefore, practically the only way to hope for good-quality material is to purchase top-of-the-line roller covers.
Desired qualities in roller-cover fabric:
Ability to pick up paint.
Ability to release the paint evenly on the surface.
Ability to recover from compression. A fabric that mats down is no good.
What surface finishes it can create (smooth, rough, orange-peel, etc.).
Tendency to not shed.
Covers with thicker naps work well on rough surfaces. For instance, a 1-inch nap can hold more paint, which fills into the texture's cracks and crevices, Palmer said. Such surfaces include rough plaster and block brick.
Covers with thinner naps, less than 1/2-inch, are good for smooth, glossy surfaces. Professional painters often deal with more sanitary, smoother surfaces, and therefore don't need thick covers, Palmer said. But for homes with more textured surfaces, greater thicknesses can work well, he said.
For flat finishes on walls and ceilings, use a 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch pile cover.
Most manufacturers offer guides that suggest the best use for their roller cover. It is important to follow these guidelines. Doing so will help ensure a good job.
Finally, it's essential to know how to fill a roller and then how to properly distribute the paint on the wall. Properly filling a roller requires the use of a roller pan. The pan serves two purposes: a place to soak the roller with paint and a place to roll off the excess to ensure that the paint is evenly distributed throughout the roller. Dip the roller in the paint well and roll it back and forth until it is completely covered with paint. Then roll the cover back and forth over the angled section of the pan until the paint is evenly distributed all around the roller.
Note: Don't move a roller cover to the wall while it is dripping with paint. A dripping roller is one that is overfilled. Bring the roller back to the pan and roll it back and forth again until the paint no longer drips.
To apply the paint, use an "M'' or "W'' shape stroke on the wall. Then move the roller up and down to evenly spread the paint.

BEIJING—They're called "little emperors" —the children born in China under a law that generally limits urban families to having just one child.
They grow up as the sole focus of doting parents. How does this affect them? What does it mean to Chinese society if generations of kids are raised this way?
Concerns about the "only child" practice in China have been expressed before. Now researchers present new evidence that these children are less trusting, less competitive, more pessimistic, less conscientious and more risk-averse than people born before the policy was implemented.
The study's authors say the one-child policy has significant ramifications for Chinese society, leading to less risk-taking in the labor market and possibly fewer entrepreneurs.
"Trust is really important, not just social interactions but in terms of negotiations in business, working with colleagues in business, negotiating between firms," said one of the authors, Lisa Cameron. "If we have lower levels of trust, that could make these kinds of negotiations and interactions more difficult."
China introduced its family planning policy in 1979 to curb a surging population. It limits most urban couples to one child.
The new work by Cameron of Monash University in Australia and co-authors is published online Friday in the journal Science. The researchers said the results don't necessarily apply to children born outside of the situation they studied: modern-day, urban China.
They recruited 421 Beijing men and women who were born within an eight-year period that included dates just before and just after the policy took effect in 1979. About 27 percent of the participants born in 1975 were the only child in their families, rising to 82 percent of those born in 1980 and 91 percent of those born in 1983. Researchers said the sample was better educated than the general population of Beijing but otherwise similar.
They administered tests to measure their altruism, trust, trustworthiness, risk attitudes and competitiveness, and gave them personality surveys. Cameron said the participants' ages and views on ideological changes in China didn't appear to affect the results.
The findings — including indications that those in the study were more sensitive and nervous — are no surprise, said Zou Hong of the School of Psychology at Beijing Normal University, who was not involved in the research.
"Only children in Chinese families are loved and given almost everything by their families and they can get resources at home without competition," she said. "Once they enter society, they are no different from other people. Having been overly protected, they feel a sense of loss and show less competitiveness."
Zou said parents of an only child tend to become overly nervous, when they are ill, for example, and "that feeling will be passed on to the children and make them become more sensitive and nervous."
The Chinese government credits the one-child policy with preventing hundreds of millions of births and helping lift countless families out of poverty. But the strict limits have led to forced abortions and sterilizations, even though such measures are illegal. Couples who flout the rules face hefty fines, seizure of their property and loss of their jobs.
Last year, a government think tank urged China's leaders to start phasing out the policy and allow two children for every family by 2015, saying the country had paid a "huge political and social cost." It said the policy had resulted in social conflict, high administrative costs and led indirectly to a long-term gender imbalance because of illegal abortions of female fetuses and the infanticide of baby girls by parents who cling to a traditional preference for a son.
The researchers in Australia noted that children born long after 1979 will have grown up with very limited extended family and in a society dominated by those born into one-child families. So the psychological effects of the one-child policy "would, if anything, be magnified," they wrote.
Toni Falbo, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Texas in Austin who studies these children, was puzzled that the study's findings showed poor performance so consistently in virtually all measures. She said she would have expected a more mixed picture, and she hopes follow-up research is done.
In any case, there's no reason to think that the results would be similar for children in the United States, she said. In China the only child grows up with different expectations, Falbo said, with Chinese authorities emphasizing that "these kids have to be the best possible. Most Americans want their kid to be happy; they're not aiming for a world-class child of some sort."
Careful studies done elsewhere that look for certain qualities in the only child find that "on average, they're pretty much like everybody else," she said.
Even with this one child policy, the Chinese population still spills into other countries throughout the whole world. If you visit the US immigration detention centers along the US-Mexico border, you will see how many Chinese are trying to get into the US crossing the border illegally. Pearsall Detention Center alone has about 2000 Chinese detainees where 5000 illegal immigrants are detained. San Diego Detention Center has even more Chinese detainees. There are about ten detention centers along this border alone. You will see more Chinese than the Mexicans there. So, the whole world will become China if we do not contain it on time. Unfortunately, Mandalay is already Chinese capital of Burma.

UR names new dean of Arts and Sciences
Kathleen Roberts Skerrett, associate dean and professor of religious studies at Grinnell College, has been appointed dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at University of Richmond, effective July 1.
Skerrett has been a member of Grinnell's faculty since 1998 and became associate dean in 2007. She previously taught at McGill University in Montreal, after earning her Ph.D. in theology and the modern West from Harvard University in 1993.
She succeeds Andrew F. Newcomb, who is stepping down to resume teaching psychology after 10 years as Arts and Sciences dean.
"We were extraordinarily fortunate to attract a recognized scholar with substantial administrative experience from one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country as our next dean," said Stephen Allred, Richmond's provost and vice president for academic affairs. "Dr. Skerrett generated excitement and gained widespread support from our faculty and staff during the interview process."
A native of Toronto, Skerrett said she was attracted to Richmond by its leadership, faculty and students.
"The faculty members are innovative and willing to take responsible risks. The students I met were doing exceptional academic programs integrated with service and learning opportunities in the community and abroad. The leadership team and faculty are inspiring. They have vision and heart and the daring to pursue ambitious ideals," she said.
"I think Richmond is going to be the model for liberal arts education that is responsive to diverse communities in the 21st century," Skerrett predicted. "The faculty and leadership team have embraced a mandate to create a learning environment unlike any other. They are forging unique undergraduate opportunities through strong interconnections of the School of Arts and Sciences with the schools of aw, business, leadership and continuing studies."
Skerrett entered Mount Allison University, a premier Canadian undergraduate university, at age 16. After earning her bachelor's degree, she earned a law degree at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and passed the bar in Toronto. She returned to graduate school at Harvard to pursue the interdisciplinary studies that continue to motivate her work.
Skerrett's scholarly research has focused on Christian tradition, contemporary religious thought and gender studies, and political theory. She has published more than a dozen scholarly articles and 30 conference papers on related topics. Skerrett is a frequently invited lecturer at institutions and organizations including the University of Chicago, New York University, King's College (Halifax, N.S.) and Atlantic School of Theology (Halifax, N.S.), among many others.
Her awards include a Faith and Life Sabbatical Award from the Louisville Institute, an appointment as a visiting fellow at NYU's Center for Religion and the Media, and a Royal Bank Teaching Innovation Award. She was appointed by her Grinnell College colleagues as an Interdisciplinary Studies Fellow to further collaborative teaching and learning there.
At Grinnell, her extensive service includes an appointment as acting vice president for diversity and achievement, chair of the gender and women's studies concentration, and membership on the budget, personnel, academic standing and first year seminar and advising committees. Skerrett actively fostered the Grinnell Liberal Arts in Prison Program, now a member of the Consortium for Liberal Arts in Prison at Bard College. At McGill, Skerrett served as a faculty director of a first year residence and chair of the University Task Force on First Year Experience.

A face made by stupid teenage whores on Facebook who think they are hot shit; yet, they are simply attention-seeking cunts. It is ugly, childish, and foolish for a little cunt to put up a "duck face" picture of herself where she perches her lips together and tilts her head about 30 degrees while taking a picture in her shitty bathroom mirror. Don't do it girls! You'll be a skanky dike slutty whorish bitch-like CUNT!
Dude, I can't believe Jenna put up a duck face picture on her Facebook! I didn't know she was an immature whorish cunt! I guess she is now...

The Southern Jewish Historical Society (SJHS) seeks a temporary, part-time associate managing editor (ME) of the society's annual, peer-reviewed journal, Southern Jewish History (SJH). With the guidance of the current managing editor and the editor, the expectation is that the individual will be able to transition into the position of managing editor by the second or third year. The ME works under the editor and defers to the editor for final decisions. The ME and associate ME are appointed by the SJHS Board of Trustees and remain in their positions at the pleasure of the Board.
The ME receives manuscripts from the editor once the editor has accepted them for publication. The ME then reviews the manuscripts for factual accuracy, and for style and format in conformity to SJHS guidelines and the current Chicago Manual of Style. The ME undertakes copyediting and other changes in consultation with the editor and authors. All materials within the individual journal issue and from issue to issue should be stylistically consistent. The ME maintains and keeps current the journal stylebook. The ME works with authors and outside sources to secure illustrations and appropriate copyright permission. Among duties as the business manager, the ME receives and processes orders and deliveries of the journal, works closely with the society treasurer, works with the society webmaster to update the journal materials on the society web site, and maintains the journal inventory.
Initial duties of the associate managing editor include styling and copyediting articles that have been accepted by the editor, working directly with authors during the copyediting process and various stages of proof, and assisting authors and outside sources in obtaining photos, as well as designing pages in MS Word and preparing proof in PDF format.
The position calls for a hard-working, detail- and fact-oriented individual, capable of scheduling and meeting production deadlines, interested in working with a variety of individuals in a cordial, professional, and positive fashion. Experience in publishing, page design, copyediting, and/or handling proof is preferred. The candidate should have a basic knowledge of sources and resources related to the Jewish experience in America and the South.
Southern Jewish History is published each fall. It is a black and white publication, not exceeding 288 pages. Final proof has to be in the hands of the printer before Labor Day, with journals ready for bulk mailing in time to be received by members before the annual fall conference.
The position of associate managing editor is an opportunity for an individual to assume increased responsibilities over a short period of time as the current managing editor transitions into retirement.
Compensation for the position will change as the responsibilities of the associate managing editor grow. The range for the two to three year period will be from $2500 (Year 1) to $4,250 (Year 2 or 3). The time commitment varies based on the production schedule, with substantial obligations during the spring or summer months preceding the journal's release.
Interested candidates should submit their application electronically (preferably as a pdf file), with the following information:
(a) a cover letter that addresses the individual's relevant interests, experience and skills for the position;
(b) a current resume;
(c) names of three possible references, with relevant contact information; referees should be able to comment specifically on the capacities of the individual applicant for editing and working with historically-based publications;
(d) a sample of the applicant's work that demonstrates ability in copyediting and/or page design.
For further information, contact Phyllis Leffler, Chair of the Search Committee, at email@example.com.
