All currently available positions are externships. This is like an internship, but you don't have to be enrolled in a university or college program to apply. You can be a student (graduate or undergrad), in between jobs/ schools, or retired. Experience is useful, but passion, creativity, and determination will impress us too.
It's important to know that we are not a non-profit organization, and there are no immediate plans to become one. Carve Magazine is an LLC company, and we informally consider ourselves a B-corp, or Benefit Corporation.
However, these positions aren't paid. While we want to be a lucrative business with a perky HR director, paid staff, and benefits, we're not there yet. We're trying and getting closer every year. These externships will play a crucial role in developing Carve, so naturally, if you're in one of these positions, you'll be at the top of the list when paid positions become available.
What we can't provide in monetary compensation, we make up for in community and connections. Writing is a lonely endeavor, so why not complement it by working with a team who's as excited and crazy about the written word as you are? We have fun, we work hard, and we try to make a meaningful impact with our work. If that's not reward enough, this probably isn't for you.
Your commitment in time and energy will vary, depending on the projects at-hand. At minimum, plan for 5 hours a week and a 6-month commitment. You'll need Skype for meetings and conferences about every other week. You'll need to be able to set your own goals and update your team leader(s). You need to be willing to take risks, make mistakes, and feel like a fool. It's all a part of learning. We don't expect perfection, just continual improvement.
Most importantly, you'll need to have read Carve. A lot of Carve. If you check out our Stories [1] and can find a handful that you're in love with, you should join our team. Our stories are our bedrock, and if you connect with the stories, then you can contribute to our mission.
Each job has Immediate Responsibilities and Future Developments listed. The responsibilities are what we're more concerned with. If all goes well and you like what you're doing, there's opportunity for more down the line.
*Jobs marked with an asterisk require residency in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. All other positions can be done remotely.
All positions are open until filled. Apply now [2].
Questions? Contact [3] us.
We want to offer a podcast version of all of our stories. We'll start with current issues, but eventually we want to go back and do a reading of every story we've published since 2007. And we want our readers to be more than monosyllabic robots; we want them to be exciting and inviting. You should apply if you: are familiar with or want to learn more about audio recording software and podcast delivery systems.
Immediate Responsibilities: finding performers and convincing them it's worth their time to do a reading for free; finding the best method of recording high quality readings; establishing and following a production schedule for podcast readings to align with release of future issues.
Future Developments: We have ideas about doing a podcast show or even establishing a YouTube channel.
We had great success with our first DLONS [4] event in November. We're currently in the planning stages of our next one. But we want these to become a fixture of the cultural arts scene in Dallas, and we need someone dedicated to creating the buzz needed to sustain and grow the event. You should apply if you: love throwing parties, are always being recruited by friends to host their showers and special events, or enjoy organizing logistics; this position is highly visible, social, and fun.
Immediate Responsibilities: Booking guests of honor and readers; scoping out venues; coordinating catering and equipment; creating audio/visual presentations to accompany readings; point-of-contact on day of event.
Future Developments: If we have great success in Dallas, perhaps other cities will want in on the act. A nationwide literary One Night Stand series?
This is where we really would love to see some experience and creativity. We need someone to take charge of our advertising, marketing and promotions to ramp up our subscriber base, increase site traffic, and increase contest submissions. We want to make Carve a household name for writers alongside McSweeney's, Tin House, Ploughshares, and Paris Review. You should apply if you: have experience with Google Analytics, iContact, Adobe Illustrator or similar graphics program, or have a keen eye for organizing, tracking, and analyzing data and figuring out what it all means.
Immediate Responsibilities: Research market for best direct mail and online advertising opportunities; write press releases; develop promotional campaigns; manage and create email blasts; coordinate with Social Media coordinator on ads and promotions; coordinate with Junior Graphic Designer to create marketing materials; entice advertisers to place ads in premium Print Edition; coordinate with Senior Graphic Designer to ensure ad deadlines are met.
Future Developments: We want to advertise, grow, and sustain other areas of Carve too, such as our DLONS events, educational exposure, and a future anthology series in the works.
We want to develop a set of classroom teaching tools and supplements for English and Creative Writing classes centered on Carve and the Premium Edition. We have a basic framework of what we want to implement, but we need a coordinator to help develop the materials and make the push into the schools. You should apply if you: have teaching experience, are passionate about education, are familiar with educator networks/systems, have visibility in the educational community (high school or above), and can encourage other teachers to try something new.
Immediate Responsibilities: Research other lit-mags-in-the-classroom series; solicit information from current teachers to define areas of need; help create program outline and specific components; develop teacher and student educational materials; determine and implement distribution.
Future Developments: Potential to develop a relationship with a local Writers in the Schools programs.
We can't tell you exactly what we have in mind yet (it's a secret!), but know that we want to develop a brand new anthology series, independent of Carve. Our goal is for the anthology to achieve national prominence alongside the likes of Pushcart Prize, Best American, and Best Non-required Reading anthologies. You should apply if you: have worked in publishing houses, book production, small press, or book sales/marketing and like to be part of top-secret projects.
Immediate Responsibilities: Establish guidelines and criteria for submissions; create list of potential submitters; manage flow of submissions and review process; solicit guest editors; coordinate with graphic designers to create cover, design, and copy of book; work with Marketing Manager to create promotional and advertising materials; set up initial print run and distribution.
Future Developments: The great thing about anthologies is that they're annual, right?
We're a little spastic right now with our social media. We want to change that. We also want the blog to be updated on a regular basis with a "resident blogger" we can rely and count on to produce interesting, informative, and exciting posts that will drive traffic to and conversation about Carve. You should apply if you: like reading and writing blogs, are familiar with the literary community and publishing industry, have a desire to "cold call" semi-famous or famous authors, writers, and editors, copyedit skills.
Immediate Responsibilities: Daily Twitter/Facebook updates; coordinate with Marketing Manager on promotions; identify and invite guest bloggers to post; review guest posts and publish.
Future Developments: Realm could expand to include our educational series, DLONS events, and anthology series.
We already have Justin, our Senior Graphic Designer, doing the dirty work on the Premium Edition. What we need is someone to do the odds-and-ends jobs of creating promotional materials and website updates. This person will work closely with the Marketing Manager. You should apply if you: have experience with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe inDesign, creating advertising campaigns, have a creative portfolio or want to build one.
Immediate Responsibilities: Design layout and look of direct mail advertising campaigns; create graphics when needed for website and online promotions; assist Senior Graphic Designer when needed; develop and maintain retail designs for clothes and non-apparel items.
Future Developments: Realm could expand to include our educational series, DLONS events, and anthology series.

Tagged: Cubs D-Backs TV
July 13 – 15, 2012; vs. Diamondbacks – Series Preview
Finally Cubs baseball is back on Friday, and with the way the Cubs have been playing that is actually a good thing. The Cubs are red-hot, winning nine of their last fourteen games which has moved them out of last place in the Central Division. The Diamondbacks have taken a step back this season after being one of the surprise teams last year. Sub par years from Justin Upton and Ian Kennedy have contributed to that fall from the top of the West. Mediocre is a word that should be used in describing the D-Backs season to this point, they are 6th in runs scored, and 10th in ERA in the National League respectively. The Cubs still sit near the bottom of the league in both runs scored and ERA but this has been a different team since Anthony Rizzo got the call near the end of June. In order for the Cubs to be successful this weekend they are going to have to get a lead early against the D-Backs starters as they rank near the bottom of the NL, 14th to be exact, in starter ERA with a 4.26. While the pen for Arizona is 6th best in the National League, full preview/breakdown after the jump.
June 22 – 24; @ Diamondbacks – Series Preview
Finally a new team! The Cubs head to Arizona to take on the D-Backs over the weekend, and the Cubs are riding high coming off of a series win at US Cellular Field over the White Sox. Sure it's just a series win, but considering it happened on the road it's a big deal as the Cubs have a lot of trouble away from Wrigley. The Cubs will battle a D-Backs team that is trying to find their way after being a pleasant surprise last season. The D-Backs currently sit one game below .500 and in third place in the West, 7.5 games behind the Dodgers. The normally potent Arizona lineup is good but it usually is so much better, a down season so far from Justin Upton, an injury plagued year from Chris Young, and a missing (injured) Stephen Drew all contributed to the less than stellar numbers, up until the last series. The Cubs need to hit to stay in these games, the last two games against the Sox won't be good enough in Arizona because I have a feeling they are about to explode, check that, continue their recent pace, as they scored 30 runs in a three game series against the Mariners. Maybe the addition of one Anthony Rizzo might help, rumor has it that June 23rd is the day Rizzo could be called up and not lose a year of eligibility, nothing confirmed obviously, but stay tuned. Full preview/breakdown after the jump.

A healthy share of these copies, I'd wager, were purchased by secondary schools and colleges.In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, David J. Bobb examines the way in which Howard Zinn has been elevated by Hollywood and the academic left to make "the late Marxist historian more influential than ever." Bobb, the director of the Hillsdale College Kirby Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, begins with the campus furor that erupted among Zinn supporters when former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, now president of Purdue University, criticized Zinn after the historian died in 2010. Bobb writes that "90 faculty members hailed Zinn as a strong scholarly voice for the powerless and cast the former governor as an enemy of free thought." Yes, predictable but difficult to see how these charges have any substance when you consider that Zinn's A People's History of the United States (

Camera compression.
I have asked this on other forums for other devices to no avail but maybe this time it could be different.
Is there any way that someone could dig around inside the Playbook to see if the compression settings for jpegs could be adjusted?
So many times I find that manufacturers apply way too much compression to pictures taken and they only end up good for on a small screen.
I think it would be a really neat feature if it could be adjusted to improve the image quality. Pulling back the compression by just 25% could prove worthwhile.
Maybe could also be applied to video as well?

Have you tried taking 1080p video with your PB? Its ridiculously good Always fun to mess with settings though
- 12-03-12, 08:39 AM Thread Author #3
Well yeah its not bad but usually most devices like these have the settings put to a high level to maximise the capacity.
However, I would prefer to have just 100 usable good shots than 10000 compressed to nothing ones. My Palm Pre2 has a 5MP camera but the shots are all compressed to the max. Most don't even reach 800KB in size and they should be at least 1800-2200KB. They look great on the tiny screen but then you transfer them to a PC and they look awful. Nothing wrong with the lens, the sensor at all. It's just some muppet in the tech dev dept decided to apply jpeg compression at 80%+.
I know that the Playbook isn't primarily a photo/video device but no harm in seeing if its capabilities could be tweaked further.

One thing to do to maximize resolution is to shoot in 4:3 rather than 16:9. 4:3 pics are a full 5 megapixels while 16:9 are about 3.5. Basically, 16:9 pics take the 4:3 pic and lop off the top and bottom.

Its the compression that kills any camera. I have an old Nikon 3.2MP camera from around 2004 and it still blows many 8MP phone cameras out of the water for sheer clarity of picture due to it not having overbearing compression applied.

Compression is the least of it's problems.
- 12-04-12, 02:01 PM Thread Author #9
I guess the real issue is that the Playbook is too locked down that no one could get to the settings to adjust them.
Shame really. Could be interesting to see what the Playbook could do image and video wise with the compression turned down as far as the CPU would allow.

Doesn't compressing use more computing power? I think the bigger issues are lense and sensor sizes. Cramming more megapixels on a tiny sensor will create problems with noise, and a better lense and sensor will add to the price and thickness of the tablet. The only real solution is to get a camera.

Yes but the thing is...we cant change the lens, the sensor etc. etc. Stuck with them. So what else could we do to improve the situation with what we have?
We could potentially change the amount of compression applied to the image once its taken however. That would improve the quality of the final image by also reducing noise and artefacts.
Often the compression settings are the only real difference in a companies budget digital camera at $100 and the ones costing $400+. Same sensor, internals etc. just turn down the compression and a couple of other tweaks to make the $400 one look better.
As for reducing compression on video using more power, I was meaning that less compression on the video means a higher data rate being pushed through the tablet and it having to cope with that. Being able to push more data to the storage without stuttering/blocking. Down to the MBps write speed of the storage in the Playbook.
All rendered moot though, as the Playbook is too locked down I guess.

The issue for RIM and small device manufacturers is understandable as memory space on a multi-use device is at a premium. Notwithstanding, lense and sensor is important, and a current user cannot affect that change, but having three or so compression and RAW settings should be doable. Actually I think that it was an oversight for not having it there in the first place. What else is new...I digress.
In short,
Lense quality...as good as best in class
Sensor...as good as best in class
Flash....missing, but cost could have been the factor
Focus...fixed only, no auto focus/ gross oversight
App...missing some basic settings like compression and RAW
- 12-07-12, 01:06 PM Thread Author #13
So I guess the question is.......can this feature be adjusted on the Playbook? Is it reachable?
Any of the tech dev types have the answer?
- 12-14-12, 11:36 AM Thread Author #14
This is kind of what I'm talking about.
Hopefully my Nexus 4 should turn up after xmas.

The Bank was founded on March 28, 1888 by a group of North Abington businessmen, headed by Moses N. Arnold, a prominent shoe manufacturer. Mr. Arnold became the first President with Lewis A. Crossett, another prominent shoe manufacturer, as the Vice President, and E. P. Reed, the founder of the now defunct Reed Lumber Co., as Treasurer.
The Bank was originally located at 196 North Avenue on the third floor of what is now the Old Town News. The Bank moved across the street to the "Standish Block" which burned down in 1977. The Bank remained in the Standish Block until 1927, when it moved next door to the Winthrop Block.
The present building was opened in December 1956 as the new home of the North Abington Co-operative Bank.
Moving Forward – From North Abington Co-operative Bank to Abington Bank
In August 2007, the Bank had a special meeting of its shareholders and voted to change the name of the bank from North Abington Co-operative Bank to Abington Bank. The name change took effect January 2008.
As part of the Bank's celebration of 120 years of service, we have introduced a new logo, refined customer service practices, and have been offering new products – all a part of our attempt to fulfill our mission of becoming the preferred local alternative to other banks in the area.

Skip to comments.Several reportedly injured in blast near U.S. embassy in Turkey
Posted on 02/01/2013 4:04:39 AM PST by nuconvert
Turkish news reports say an explosion in front of the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara has injured several people.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Wait for them to trot out the video excuse instead of blaming it on terrorists which will be the real reason again, just like Benghazi.
Update: Reports are that was a lone suicide bomber and the explosion caused no damage inside the embassy itself.
Some reports of 2 dead, though one may be the bomber.
Just more embassy staff placed in mortal danger under Obamas watch.
What does it matter?
Thank god Hillarys career is safe.
Probably in response to the Coke Super Bowl camel add!
Send Turkey a strong ltter.
We know it wasn't Al Quaeda. Obama said they were dead.
Extremetist on the march. I remember after the fall of Murbarak Clinton had tomatoes thrown at her car in Egypt in the summer of 2012. Then 9/11 the video and embassy blow up. Read an article about how we get allies and anti American allignments wrong. The State Department seems to be where this weakness lies. Turkey is part of Nato, and Obama is siding with the Muslim Brotherhood as the power player over the Arab spring.
Wasn't Chris Stevens meeting with a Turk ?
Any kind of linkage to Benghazi murders?
"Any kind of linkage to Benghazi murders?"
Give the administration a few hours... they'll link some sort of youtube video. /s
Reuters reporting: " explosion at a side entrance to the U.S. embassy " and
"Television footage showed a door blown out and masonry from the wall around it scattered in front of the entrance, although there did not appear to be any more significant structural damage."
Give the administration a few hours... theyll link some sort of youtube video. /s
Or "high capacity" magazines in the U.S.
There are evil people in the world. Therefore, we must disarm law abiding Americans.
What difference does it make!
Can someone Photoshop the face of John Kerry onto the photo of Hillary in her green outfit with clinched fists screaming It Doesn't Make A Difference during her Senate testimony?
Poor John... what a pair of shoes to fill...ugh....
It was the fuel tank that unexpectedly exploded.
Nothing to see here - move along....
Turkish guard at the embassy killed. Reports say no Americans injured
"Way to go, Habib! Betcha can't frickin' do it again!"
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Who's going to be the one to tell Obama when he wakes up at 10 am?
His governess will.
someone just sent John Kerry a strong welcome to the job message.
At least we know where to find the Youtube video to wave around.
The Turkish government says the bomb came from a "neo-Marxist" group.
Since their president Erdogan is a committed Islamist & is working to replace the secular state of Kemal Ataturk with Sharia, it wouldn't make too much sense to ascribe this attack to fellow Islamists who just happen to be in a hurry.
Marxists? My foot.
IOW - he's blaming it on the Kurds, as usual.

Hounds headed for LSC tournament
April 29, 2009
Freddy Carmona's neck hurts a little bit.
But the Eastern New Mexico University catcher won't complain about that. Or when his bicep got hit by a foul tip. Or when he had wrist problems.
Tough to complain when first baseman/pitcher Seth Clabaugh lost teeth when he collided with a post at Central Oklahoma. Or when outfielder Jereme Johnson separated his shoulder. Or that shortstop Garrett Cook still has numbness in his arm from being hit by a pitch.
And so on, but the Greyhounds are still a playoff team for the first time in 15 years despite the litany of injuries.
"I would say (we're) pretty tough," said Carmona, who's batting .406 and is one hit away from tying his own school record for hits in a season. "I'd definitely say we were tougher than previous teams I've played for."
As the Greyhounds (28-26, 23-21 Lone Star Conference) head into this weekend's Lone Star Conference tournament, hosted by Abilene Christian, you can consider longtime coach Phil Clabaugh convinced.
"You name it and it's happened to them, and yet they've been able to play through that," Clabaugh said. "I'm not trying to take away from our squad, but I think we're a hell of a lot tougher than we are talented."
The Greyhounds have won eight of their last 12, and are seeded fifth in the six-team, double-elimination tournament, which begins Saturday when No. 1 Cameron takes on Tarleton State in an 11 a.m. (CDT) affair.
The next game features ENMU against second-seeded Angelo State. The Greyhounds split a four-game home series with the Rams in March, and have an extra boost of confidence knowing that a bottom seed can win — like last year, when Texas A&M-Kingsville beat ENMU by a half-game in the standings for the No. 6 spot and won the tournament to advance to the Division II regionals.
"I got to play some summer ball with Sam Strickland, who was a pitcher for Kingsville last year," Carmona said. "He was talking about how good the team was looking. I told him all we have to do is get into sixth place, and anything can happen."
And anything does happen in the LSC championship, Phil Clabaugh said, having been a spectator in each previous tournament.
"The conference tournament does crazy things to everybody," Clabaugh said. "Pitchers throw a little harder, base-stealers run a little faster."
But the Rams are seeded second for good reason, Clabaugh said, because they don't give away at-bats and their pitchers don't give a lot of free passes.
"They're going to put pressure on us from an offensive standpoint," he said. "They put the ball in play, and once they get there they can make things happen with their overall team speed."
Clabaugh thinks Carmona is the LSC's best catcher, but Angelo State's Trey Carter is a close second. And then there's designated hitter Keith Towne, who Clabaugh half-jokingly calls "Babe Ruth" — Towne has hit 25 home runs this season, two fewer than the entire Greyhounds roster.
"You've got to keep a hitter like that off-balance," Carmona said. "If you're going to go in, go in hard and make sure he can't get it out of the park."
Seth Clabaugh is penciled in to start Saturday's game.
"If we can get 15 outs with him and stay in the game," Phil Clabaugh said, "it will be a good call because I think our relief can take care of it (from there)."

- Dan Ross Assistant Deputy Minister, Materiel, Department of National Defence
- Tom Ring Assistant Deputy Minister, Acquisitions Branch, Department of Public Works and Government Services
8:50 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
We'll now call this 41st meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.
My apologies for the delay of a couple of minutes. Some of us were at the National Prayer Breakfast and it took a little while to get over here. The Word was there, but it was a tad late.
Colleagues, the procedure is fairly straightforward this morning. We are hearing witnesses on chapter 2. We will have opening remarks from the deputies who are present, and then we will go in rotation in the usual prescribed fashion until our allotted time is exhausted.
If there are no questions or concerns about the procedure, then indeed we will begin.
Good morning to all our guests. It's a pleasure to have you back here at public accounts, and I know you're all thrilled to be here too—
May 1st, 2012 / 8:50 a.m.
Mathieu Ravignat Pontiac, QC
Mr. Chair, I apologize for interrupting you, but may I propose, given that the witnesses were kind enough to give us their written comments, that we simply have those as written and pass to questions immediately in order to have enough time? We do recognize that there are eight people here today and we have very limited time for asking a question.
8:50 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
All right. Let's try to do this quickly. Let me just test the room, then.
Colleagues, there has been a suggestion that we deem the opening remarks to have been received because they are in writing, although I understand that one deputy did not bring a written copy. I don't know why, but they didn't.
Notwithstanding that, I'm in the hands of the committee. Is there agreement?
8:50 a.m.
Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
I think it's normal practice that we allow our witnesses at least the opportunity to have opening remarks. I would recommend that we continue in the normal way, and that is to allow our witnesses to have their opening remarks.
8:50 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
All right. I'm not seeing unanimity.
You have the right to place a motion, but I think you know where that's going to go, given what we've heard. I would suggest that we'll continue in the usual fashion.
Mr. Byrne.
8:50 a.m.
Gerry Byrne Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There may be unanimity if we were to allow or ask for just one minute of opening remarks, with the statements as presented tabled.
8:50 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
Let me test the floor on that.
Are there those who are in favour of limiting it to one minute on opening remarks?
8:50 a.m.
Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Chair, I think the difficulty is that the witnesses have prepared opening remarks, so to ask them to change that would mean that it's not really fair to our witnesses to have to ad lib, to go off their written opening remarks. I don't think it's fair to the witnesses to do that.
8:50 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
Again, same as before, there is no unanimity. Are there further comments on this? Let's not get too bogged down here, folks.
Mr. Allen.
8:50 a.m.
Malcolm Allen Welland, ON
I guess I understand that the government would like the opening remarks, but all I would suggest and ask the government to do, since we need to talk to these witnesses in as fulsome a way as possible, is this. We have Thursday open. I would suggest to the government that if we don't get through all of our questions in the sense of the fullness of talking to all eight witnesses, we actually do it on the Thursday. I would ask the government to think about that—not necessarily decide upon it at this moment.
Let's see where we get. I would be happy to get under way.
8:50 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
All right.
Do you have the need to take the floor still? No? Thank you.
I'm not hearing unanimity on that and I don't have a motion in front of me, so unless I hear differently from colleagues, I am going to pick up where I left off.
I will proceed in inviting our guests both to introduce themselves and to read their opening remarks. Upon conclusion, then, we'll begin our rotation.
Again, if there are no further interventions, I guess we'll probably start with the Deputy Minister of National Defence. That would make the most sense.
But I leave it in your hands, folks. Please introduce yourself and your delegation and present your opening remarks.
8:50 a.m.
Robert Fonberg Deputy Minister, Department of National Defence
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I can actually speak quickly.
With me I have Lieutenant-General André Deschamps, Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force; Kevin Lindsey, Chief Financial Officer; and Dan Ross, ADM Materiel.
Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, thank you for this opportunity this morning.
I'll share my time briefly with the Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Acquiring major military capabilities is complex. It takes many years.
In his report, the Auditor General underscores the innovative and unique nature of the joint strike fighter program and notes, "There is no single set of federal policies or rules that govern participation in an international initiative such as the JSF Program". We agree with the Auditor General on this point. We are confident that the government's seven-point plan sets out a strong footing to move forward on the AG's concerns.
The government has been involved with the joint strike fighter program since 1997. With the advantage of hindsight, and with the AG's observations in mind, there are clearly things we would have managed differently in the program and things that all of us could have done better.
On the matter of costing, there are three key components: acquisition—
8:55 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
Excuse me, Mr. Fonberg.
Madame Blanchette-Lamothe.
8:55 a.m.
Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
As a francophone, I must ask you to slow down a bit. I think our interpreters are really having trouble following you.
Thank you.
8:55 a.m.
The Chair David Christopherson
All right. I think I'm seeing a smile on the face of the interpreters in agreement with that.
So if we could.... Just a bit—not much.

Knowing when to start and sit players, especially starting pitchers, can be key to a win or loss in weekly fantasy baseball leagues or H2H leagues.
Whether it's benching a Top 30 pitcher with a tough matchup or picking up a guy off the Waiver Wire with a juicy start, playing the matchups is a skill that takes some research and the intestinal fortitude to do what the trends and statistics say instead of what your gut says.

Too Much of a Good Thing - Page 4
Ultimately, despite your goals or racing schedule, you trail run for personal enjoyment. So simply understand the symptoms of overtraining, get plenty of quality rest, eat and drink your fill, throw in an extra rest day occasionally, and you'll virtually guarantee your running will always feel great.
START EVERY RUN with well-stocked glycogen stores, then replenish your muscles with high-quality, easily digestible carbohydrates and protein within an hour of returning. Maintaining proper hydration levels is equally as important.
SLEEP! If possible, take a short nap (20 to 60 minutes) after a particularly long or hard run. When asleep, the body releases growth hormone (think muscle repair). Quality zzz's also allow the nervous system a chance to reset. Going to bed early, before 11 p.m., also supports recovery.
"IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING on rest and recovery, you are running on stress hormones, which will greatly deplete and injure the body," says Dr. Dave Boynton, owner of Colorado's North Boulder Chiropractic. "Your muscles must have time to heal in order to grow stronger."
ELIMINATE AS MUCH STRESS from daily living as possible. The body does not discriminate between the stress of a two-hour run or two hours spent stuck in traffic. So, if the strain of work, a relationship, etc., in combination with running, pushes you into the red zone, think about reducing trail time, which will free up energy for coping with your non-running life. The break will also ensure your recovery system remains healthy, so when you are able to run at your desired level, you'll have ample energy.
MONITORING MORNING HEART RATE can be a sound way to stay ahead of the overtraining curve, as heart-rate data can predict a tired body well before overtraining symptoms appear.
First, find your baseline pulse (beats per minute) when you know you are well rested and healthy. Over the next two weeks, check your pulse with a heart-rate monitor every morning right after waking before getting out of bed. This average will be your base number.
At least once a week, compare your morning heart rate to your base number. Whenever it shows a five or six beat variance (above or below) the base number, your nervous system is having trouble keeping up with the stress placed up it. If your heart rate continues to show this variation for more than a few consecutive days, take some time off and let your body recover.
A similar test is to take the in-bed reading, then stand and take your pulse again after 20 seconds. (Wearing a heart-rate monitor for the standing count can be helpful.) The difference between these two readings will be the baseline, and the same five- or six-beat-variance rule applies.

Corn syrup has a bad name and maybe for good reason. I love to make candy and cookies that require it, so I choose to buy this version. It is organic and GMO-free, so it is a "healthier" version of corn syrup. I am not giving up the things I love, but am trying to eat healthier and in moderation.

We have used this particular brand of corn syrup previously. It tastes great & it is non GMO so the flavor is so much better than the regular corn syrup & much healthier, too. It has a very smooth flavor with no aftertaste at all. We love it & will continue to purchase it in the future. This is a great site to order from because they have great prices & fast shipping also.

Oftentimes, fantasy baseball owners get a little caught up in the name game – allowing players to occupy their rosters based on name recognition instead of performance while better players, although not as popular, are outperforming them.
It's important to balance the knowledge of a player's past performance with an objective look at how they are performing in the moment.
With that in mind, here are 20 stats: 10 for well-known players and 10 for under-the-radar types.

Skip to comments.Thalidomide teams-up with turmeric to kill myeloma cells
Posted on 07/02/2013 8:00:41 PM PDT by neverdem
One of the curcuminthalidomide hybridsCancer researchers in the US and China have combined the turmeric spice pigment curcumin and the drug thalidomide to create hybrid compounds that can kill multiple myeloma cells.
Multiple myeloma is the second most common type of blood cancer, killing 20% of affected patients each year. The drug thalidomide, banned after causing birth defects when given during pregnancy in the 1950s, was recently rediscovered and approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Thalidomide works by disturbing the microenvironment of tumour cells in bone marrow. However, it disintegrates in the body. Curcumin, a yellow pigment from the common spice turmeric, is also active against cancers, including myeloma, but is limited by its poor water solubility.
Shijun Zhang at Virginia Commonwealth University, US, and colleagues, have synthesised compounds combining structural features from both thalidomide and curcumin. The hybrids have enhanced solubility, and higher toxicity against myeloma cells than curcumin, thalidomide, or a mixture of both, explains Zhang, so our design rational is going in the right direction. Zhang says the hybrids kill myeloma cells through combined mechanisms of action that include the generation of reactive oxygen species and cell cycle inhibition.
The advantage of the hybrid compounds is that they are stabilised, and do not degrade in the body as thalidomide does, says William Douglas Figg from the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, US, who has conducted numerous studies and clinical trials with thalidomide derivatives. However, from his experience, compounds considered for further trials should be more toxic to myeloma cells.
In the meantime, one of Zhangs hybrid compounds has shown activity against myeloma and prostate cancer in animal models.

Let's hope they are onto something BIG!
Good post, u can't PATENT straight-up curcumin, so they ligate it to this fancy stuff, so they can make big bucks.
Be aware that absorption of curcumin is very low —good to eat something really fatty in order to boost (typically low) absorption —cocunut oil, curry, whatevah.
Also add piperine or bioperine.
Cheap as hell, and effective.
Wow. This sounds like they may be on to something here.
Ok, this is cool.
They could have done this years ago, but the Thalidomide angle made them too yellow.
Be aware that absorption of curcumin is very low good to eat something really fatty in order to boost (typically low) absorption cocunut oil, curry, whatevah.Hadn't heard of taking it with coconut oil (thanks!), but take it daily with black pepper. I use an extract from Natural News (a little more costly, but I think the stuff is great): http://store.naturalnews.com/Natural-Attitude-Turmeric-liquid-extract-2-fl-oz_p_125.html. (It helps with memory/thinking.)
Also add piperine or bioperine.
Be careful with those if you are taking medications at the same time. Can result in unintended hyper-absorption of prescription drugs as well.
Another one is Boswellia Serrata —Frankensence to Bible-reading folks.
I chew it with bubble-gum.
Cheap as heck, and its the medicine we'll have in 8 years, or so.
I usually use herbco.com —it's wholesale.
Well what do you know...Thalidomide causes defects in cancer cells and drives curcumin into them and they die...
I wonder if liposomal curcumin could be effective w/o the Thalidomide...
Liposomal vitamin C is easy to make at home and easily administered orally...it is as much as ten times more effective than IV-C against cancer.
Another one is Boswellia Serrata Frankensence to Bible-reading folks.Yep! The stuff is awesome. Thanks for the link. We have purchased the essential oil from Young Living or Rocky Mountain Oils (little cheaper from RM, but not sure if the same quality). The stuff from YL has stopped fits of rage in seconds flat. Never seen anything like it!
The vitamin docs all say tumeric is often an effective anti-cancer substance.
And also an alzheimer's preventative. I find it's a brain stimulant, take it daily in organic form...from Organic India, a pricey but very reputable brand.
Turmeric can kill cancer cells without needing thalidomide. It is a natural anti-cancer compound, among other things beneficial.
Of course, if you want to prescribe a DRUG and CHARGE LOTS OF MONEY FOR IT, pair it up with thalidomide.
I actually don't see why they banned thalidomide.
There are two forms of thalidomide, a left handed chiral and a right handed chiral. One is safe, the other is the one that causes birth defects. Why they simply didn't allow the one form that didn't cause birth defects to remain the one to prescribe is kind of an over-reaction.
"...tumeric is often an effective anti-cancer substance..."
Yes, agreed. But why do you live in Cook County?
That wuz my 1st thought.
I remember the thalidomide babies of the 1960s. Abortion got a big push when some woman from the US was pregnant, used thalidomide, then was afraid the child would be deformed.
I remember the magazines then showing this extremely stressed out woman, while mentioning that abortions were not legal in the US.
She later went to Sweden and got her abortion.

Thanks for the link.
Thanks, good advice.
one of my myeloma patients was put on thalidomide, and that was a couple of years ago, so that's not exactly new.
It is also used for leprosy patients.
Because of the danger to a fetus, they have to be very careful about using the medicine.
I always wondered about turmeric. Everyone in my Grandparent's generation (in my family) lived well into their 90's. All of them were raised on farms; all of them canned and pickled everything.
I spent quite a bit of time thinking about what they "ate" that might have been significantly different than our usual daily diet. Aside from the obvious fact that the food was not generally highly processed...I came up with "pickled things" most of which contained Turmeric; and cottage cheese...both of which were served at nearly every meal.
I take my tumeric as well as capsicum with two tablespoons of coconut oil. I'm keto adapted, so the coconut oil is like pouring gasoline into a fire and I can feel the cardio nutrition from the capsicum within seconds.
This needs a "the rest of the story" addendum. "Was" the aborted fetus (aka "baby") actually deformed??
***This needs a "the rest of the story" addendum. "Was" the aborted fetus (aka "baby") actually deformed?? ***
According to the Swedish doctor, yes, it was deformed.
I take one capsule of Turmeric daily (about 550 mg) for cancer prevention, primarily skin cancer. I have read that it can help.
Should I take more than that?
This is a "standardized" vitamin, is that okay?
I have been adding turmeric capsules to my diet for about a year
you know you are taking enough if you start to crave PEPPER on everything (instead of salt)
ok what is that? it looks delicious
you have to eat ordinary table PEPPER to boost turmeric absorption
how do you take the coconut oil? I assume not by the spoonful (yuck!)
Are those herbs in supplement form?
Sorry, I'm bombarding you with questions. It's just that theres been a lot of cancer in my family and I'm trying to "save" the rest of us!
That's awesome, thanks for sharing!!!
Tilapia in turmeric
Depending on the brand (I buy mine from my naturopath - it doesn't smell or taste like coconut), I can either drink it straight or I put it in my coffee.
I just wanted to throw out some other supplements that have anti-cancer properties to them: Vitamin D, Selenium, ALA, Iodine & Magnesium. In addition to these, Green Tea Extract and Resveratrol Grape Seed & Red Wine Extracts.
Driving now but at noon PST I will b behind a computer and will give thoroughanswer and more, no prob.
I do take it by the spoonful, sometimes I mix it with scrambled eggs.
Thank you for this information! I too take cayenne pepper [extract], but since I battle Graves Disease (hyperthyroid), I avoid coconut oil, but I'm going to find out if I need to avoid it completely.
OK the short answer is that I think u should take TWO, not one, and here is the more important thing:
Take those along with your fattiest meal of the day --for most folks that's dinner. Lessay you eat a bunch of lasagna? Yeah, take it with that.
Or lessay you eat a huge omlette with plenty of butter --take it then.
Whatever you eat that is super fatty --and I know you eat fats-- you take your curcumin (tumeric, but the active component) THEN.
While it's super cheap and super therapeutic it's bioavailability is pretty low --just cuz it gets past your lips does not at all mean that it is getting uptaken.
Also it does not circulate for a long time --all the expensive efforts to ligate curcumin to other bigger things have the objective of making it patentable ($$$) and maybe also get it to circulate for a longer time b4 being eliminated.
I really think the best --for years-- will be to consistently take pure curcumin with something fatty and peppery.
And you should try the frankensense/gum thing I described --it's cheap, simple, reliable, and highly thereapeutic.
I'm not super Biblical, but here is a quick aside;
1. gold - resists inflation
2. Myrrh - anti parasitic, anti-helmenthic
3. Frankensence - powerful anti-inflammatory (and many others)
can you cook with it?
I have a jar, I haven't used it for anything yet
I cannot imagine trying to swallow a spoonful of it- it looks like hardened lard - do you use something different?
Thank you!

In full: An excellent event and one of the highlights of my families long weekend in Norfolk. Spending the pre-race warm up in a shed smelling of deep heat and fertilizer was a first but the glorious weather during the race made up for it.Best wishes to the organisers - mank thanksDate of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Good course, better than last year as part of it has changed.Date of review: November 30, 2009

In full: My first time in this race, but it won't be my last, well done City of Norwich AC on an excellent day, great organisation, lovely goodie bag, superb medal, nice course,and very friendly and helpful marshalls what more could you want, even the sun came out.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Enjoyable, well organised and friendly. Good, almost flat course.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Outstanding. A wonderful event all-round, highly recommended!In full: More or less everything about the event was fantastic. It was well-organised and spacious, everyone knew exactly what was going on, and the race organisers were cheery and very helpful. The start was prompt, and a great atmosphere as the sun came out right after a rainy spell. The marshals (and spectators!) were brilliant, they really helped a lot. The course itself was very nice, lots of gradual inclines but a pretty quick course nonetheless. At the finish everything was well-run, with prize bags, medals and fruit to replenish energy all being there. With great running conditions, all of the above combined to make this runner have a fantastic experience at his first half marathon - I'd recommend this to anyone, experienced runner or otherwise!Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Fantastic Marshalls and Helpers. You're the heroes for standing our in the wet and cold,In full: Excellent organisation, can't be faulted. Considering it was nearly December it is hardly suprpising that it there was some rain and cold temperatures, but to organise a rainbow and then some at the start was a masterstroke! Another PB for me but I think I've peaked now, I can't imagine getting any better. Once again, a huge thank you to all the helpers on the day, you did us proud.Date of review: November 30, 2009

As Hurricane Irene devastated parts of the east coast, the Humane Society of the United States is supporting rescue efforts in regions of North Carolina to provide shelter and medical assistance to injured or lost pets.
On Sunday, the society sent members from its Animal Rescue Team to set up an emergency pet shelter at the Craven County Fair Grounds in New Bern, North Carolina, where lost or homeless area pets could stay and be looked after and have their overall pet health checked out. This could help save the lives of many pets. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, some 600,000 animals lost their lives, according to The Huffington Post.
Rescue workers stayed at the makeshift shelter through the night in case any new pets arrived. Workers in Pamlico and Jones Counties also took numerous dogs into shelters after workers presumed they were part of two dogfighting operations.
As the storm has subsided, residents of the east coast who see lost or injured animals walking around should contact their local animal patrol officer or VCA hospital so the animal can be treated, and hopefully reunited with its owners.

Interactive Travel Map|Text the Secretary|Trip PageAbout the Author: Melanne Verveer serves as Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues.
This week in Beijing, I had the privilege to participate in the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (SED) that Secretary Clinton and Secretary Geithner led for the United States. Prior to the arrival of Secretary Clinton, I was fortunate to meet with many of China's top women leaders from the government, the All-China Women's Federation, the business community and civil society, all of whom were tackling a range of issues -- from the social impacts of the economic transformation to addressing barriers to entrepreneurship.
At the conclusion of the Dialogue and just before departing Beijing, Secretary Clinton sat down with women civil society leaders, many of whom she has known for more than a decade. It was in Beijing 15 years earlier that the UN Fourth World Conference of Women took place and it was there that then-First Lady Hillary Clinton delivered her historic address reminding the world that "women's rights are human rights." The Chinese women told Secretary Clinton that her words inspired them then and continue to inspire the work that they are doing today to carry out the Beijing Platform for Action that was adopted in at the Conference in 1995 to advance women's economic, political, and social participation.
In listening to the women activists in Beijing, we were reminded that while our cultures are different, women in our countries share many of the same aspirations and often face similar barriers to advancement and progress. China's well-known women's rights lawyer Guo Jianmei, for example, has broken ground on cutting edge issues like domestic violence and employment discrimination, and is committed to working to improve her society through the law. Guo spoke eloquently and passionately about her work in defending women's rights and her wish that the government would see her as a partner. Others talked about the needs of rural women. In a discussion organized by Mary Kaye Huntsman, the wife of the U.S. Ambassador to China, several prominent women discussed continuing challenges. Wu Qing, women's rights advocate and scholar, works today with rural women, many of whom are illiterate. She noted that the key progress in China was linked to progress for China's rural women.
Women in China are also frustrated by many of same obstacles that face women around the world. Feng Cui, Vice Chair of the China Women's Entrepreneurship Association and a former leader in the All China Women's Federation lamented that while many women entrepreneurs in China have achieved success, "they have difficulty balancing work and family."
At the closing session of the SED, I spoke briefly about the importance of women and development as essential to smart development, smart economics and smart diplomacy. In response to my statement, both Vice Minister Wang Quishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo acknowledged the importance of focusing on women. Vice Minister Wang said that "hunger, women, children and disease are the issues that move people, that touch people's hearts." He also said that women and development need to be on the agenda for the next meeting, and specifically mentioned the challenges confronted by rural women in China. State Councilor Dai added that development can only be successful when women's issues are addressed.

Nice too hear, about this group of chinese women,working to improve the lives of their fellow Citizens...:)
Great photos of the meeting Melanne, thanks for sharing.

Topic: Multi-stage dynamic form with observe_form
Wow. I've been wrestling with this one for a couple hours now with no end in sight. I am trying to present a form where the only field intially visible is 'type'. Types is a select which is populated. Based on what they select for type, I then want to display another select, 'item'. This goes on a couple more levels. I got it to the point where it displays the items (I start with an empty div in the template, and when I get the the value of type in the controller, I go through an rjs to update the div), but when I select an item, I'm not getting a callback to my controller at all. I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way. Anybody have any pointers?

Hovan, Sears, Askew Among Veterans Cut by Bucs
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have admitted the importance of the 2010 NFL Draft picks to the success of the squad. That importance just went up another level after the team some veterans on Monday. Tampa Bay cut defensive tackle Chris Hovan, offensive guard Arron Sears, fullback B.J. Askew, cornerback Stoney Woodson, guard Shawn Murphy and punter Sam Paulescu. Hovan was thought to be in trouble when the Bucs selected defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Brian Price with their first two draft… Read More »

Hey there,
I received an email from someone who works at the Cowgate Centre homeless shelter about one of their clients who comes to the forest to drink tea sometimes.
XXXXXX already comes to the Forest for tea but could he have some exhibition space, or maybe go for one of your grants to artists? Any way it would be great if he could have a chat with your art project workers. I teach at the Cowgate Centre on Tuesdays finishing up by about 11.30 so we could come along after the class to meet up with someone at the Forest about 11.45. Next Tuesday would be great but any one before Christmas would also be OK.
I know we're not going to just give up exhib space if the works no good and same for the grants, but is anyone up for meeting with them? The person who sent me the email is really good (and know to our Gaz). Next Tuesday is no good for me, but the 20th is.
Say yes?
