BP looking for interns..

Just fyi..maybe you've all seen this already:
Baseball Prospectus is currently taking applications for internships. This series of internships will commence in December, and run through the end of the 2006 major league season. Internships are open to anyone currently enrolled in a college or advanced degree program. Baseball Prospectus internships are unpaid.
Internships are available in four areas:

Editorial Assistance. The applicant will be responsible for copy editing, proof reading, HTML coding, and similar tasks that require a quick turnaround time. Applicants should have previous editing experience.

Database Management - The applicant will work within our proprietary databases. Applicants who have some existing proficiency with Oracle databases and SQL are strongly preferred.

Web Elements & Design - The applicant will work on projects related to both the frontend and the backend of the Baseball Prospectus website. An ideal intern candidate would have both web design and web programming expertise.

Research Assistant - The applicant will respond to data queries from Baseball Prospectus authors for both web-based columns and book projects. The applicant should have at least some familiarity with database queries, and should be located near a major library.
