Given the phenomenal success of some recent NASCAR Nextel Cup Rookies ofthe Year, Scott Riggs knew his rookie season would be tough. And itturned out that way, with fellow rookies Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, andScott Wimmer providing stiff competition in Rookie of the Yearcompetition.
Through the season's first 26 races--NASCAR's "regular season"--Riggstrailed those three, as Kahne, with nine Top 5s, led the way. Vickerswas Second with three Top 10s; and Wimmer, with a single Top 5 and apair of Top 10s, was Third. The best runs for Fourth Place Riggs,meanwhile, were a Fifth at Dover in June and a Seventh at California onLabor Day weekend.
Riggs was aware from the start that former rookies Jamie McMurray,Jimmie Johnson, and Ryan Newman would be tough acts to follow, butthat's as far as he'll go about it.
There are notable differences between Riggs and drivers like McMurray,Johnson, and Newman. Riggs, who will turn 34 on New Year's Day, was a33-year-old rookie; McMurray turned 27 in the middle of his Rookie ofthe Year campaign in 2003; Johnson was 26 and Newman 24 when they burstupon the scene in 2002. Johnson first got on a motocross bike when hewas four, and Newman started racing Quarter Midgets at the same age.Riggs began motocross racing at 13.
"I didn't get my racing opportunities the way a lot of guys have," Riggssaid early during his rookie season. "I've been racing for enough yearsto know that a lot of things in this sport come down to breaks, andfortunately for me, I was able to get the break I needed to move intothe Truck Series and then into the Busch Series. Once I got there, Ifeel like I did what I needed to do to generate the opportunity I havenow."
All talk aside about the top rookies from years gone by, Riggs has madethe most of his opportunities. From the motocross bikes, he stepped intoa four-cylinder Modified at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, NorthCarolina, not far from his hometown of Bahama (pronounced ba-HAY-ma). "Iraced those for two years before stepping up to a full-size Late Model,"Riggs recalled. "It was quite a drastic jump coming from motorcycles tocars, and it was equally a big jump going from Modifieds to LateModels."
As for big jumps, the jump from the Busch Series to the Nextel Cup wasnot that much of one, according to Riggs. When he stepped into the No.10 Valvoline machine at Daytona for Speedweeks 2004, it was business asusual from a competition standpoint.
"It was actually a positive difference for me," Riggs said of racing inthe sport's Super Bowl as his first Nextel Cup event. "I actually feltmore at ease in the Cup race than I did in the Busch races, because Ifelt like guys raced you harder on the track, but they [Cup drivers]knew how to race without crossing the line and being overly aggressiveand putting themselves and you in trouble. They'd race you hard on thetrack where they could, and they knew where they needed to be carefuland be easy on the track. To me it was a good experience.
"I didn't get a lot of drafting help in practice, but I tried to workwith all the guys every time I got on the track and show that I wasn'tgoing to do anything too drastic and too outrageous. I felt that in therace, I got a lot more help and it seemed like more people were willingto work with me. We didn't have the kind of outcome we wanted to have,but we learned a lot and hopefully earned some respect."
For Riggs, a successful transition from the NASCAR Busch Series to itstop division is all about respect, both giving it and getting it. "It'searning respect, trying to learn all your competitors and how they'regoing to race you on the track, who is going to give you respect off thebat or whose respect you have to earn," he said. "How do you earn thatrespect? Do you do it by racing them hard or by being sensible, givingthem plenty of room and racing them very clean?"
When the opportunity to move up came at the end of the '03 season, Riggsjumped at it. "I had hoped it would come," he said of the call from teamowner James Rocco. "I thought I was capable of competing at this level,but ultimately I had to wait until the right people figured that out.And I thank everyone at Valvoline Racing for making it happen."
It wasn't as if the call to Cup wasn't in Riggs' future. His name waslinked to nearly every open seat in the series, and he finally decidedon the No. 10.
"Other teams told me, 'We've got the best team,' or 'We've got the bestequipment,' or 'I know we're going to be successful,' " Riggs said. "Ifelt like this team was really the most honest. They said, 'We've gotstrengths and we've got weaknesses, and what we want to do is work tochange those weaknesses.' They wanted to build this team and wanted meto be a part of that building process versus me just stepping into thedriver seat. Besides, what other team's sponsor is on the car, in thecar, and owns the car?"
Valvoline, which has been a big-time sponsor in NASCAR for quite a longtime, believed in Riggs and his potential. "So far, I couldn't have everimagined such a prestigious sponsor that's been in the sport for so longcould ever be so down to earth and so involved in their racing," Riggssaid. "They truly are what they say they are. They learn from the trackto make their products better on the shelf. They stand behind theirracers and their teams.
"They are the only sponsor in the sport that owns a race team, so tohave a product that is in the car they try to develop from racing, as asponsor and owner, it just shows the dedication and determination theyhave to make sure this team is successful. On top of that, they havebeen over the top as far as being down to earth with me. They reallywelcomed me in as part of the family. I never knew that a sponsor couldbe so loving to its new family member."
In the wholesale changes that saw the departure of incumbent driverJohnny Benson, crewchiefs James Ince and Jay Guy, and a sizablepercentage of the crew, Riggs and his Busch Series crewchief DougRandolph have managed to smooth the waters and provide some stability toa team that won a race in 2002 but had a best finish of Fifth in 2003.
"This is the first year I've ever had a crewchief two years in a row, atany level," Riggs said with a laugh. "It's the first time I haven't runthem off."
Riggs noted that one of the biggest changes was to get used to thelonger distances the Cup drivers run, compared to Busch and Trucks."I've done a lot of training [during the off-season] to really preparemyself physically for the longer races," he said. "If testing andDaytona are an example, I feel like I'm going to feel better in the carthan ever before. If you feel stronger physically, you're going to bestronger mentally."
Asked what he thought of those uninformed sources who believe race cardrivers are not athletes, Riggs was typically straightforward. "Peoplewho say that are people who have never strapped in a race car and haveno idea what they are talking about," he quipped. "I started motocrossracing when I was 13 years old, and that's the second-most physicallydemanding sport in the world. By being such a physical sport, it helpedme physically in the car. People don't realize how many g's we pull,what kind of temperatures we have to fight in the race car, the stresslevel, the tension level, and the endurance level we have to maintain inlong races. Anyone who says you don't have to be in shape and that it'snot an athletic sport has never strapped in, and I challenge them to arace anywhere, anytime."
Another change for Riggs was that Goodyear made a softer tire for theNextel Cup Series in 2004, and that changed the handling characteristicssomewhat.
"The good part is that the Cup car is a very good cross between a Buschcar and a Truck," Riggs said. "It has a long wheelbase and lots ofhorsepower like a Truck does, and it also has the aerodynamics of aBusch car. I feel like I have had the best of both worlds, the bestmixture of training that I could have by driving the Truck Series almostas long as I did the Busch car, so I have a good baseline to put it allback together for the Cup car."
One might think that since Riggs comes from a short-track background,he'd be eager to get to the bullrings. Apparently, that's not the case.
"I don't really have a preference," said the two-time track champion atSouthern National Speedway in Kenly, North Carolina. "It doesn't matteranymore. I like tracks that we go to where we have a good car and can becompetitive. I really don't have favorites or ones that I dislike. Isort of broke that the first year I started racing Trucks and on throughthe first year I drove the Busch cars. I had a lot of tracks that I feltgood at and felt like we were going to do well on, and then we'd go backthere and not do very well. Then I would have tracks that I didn't likeand had never done well on, and we would go back the next year and winthe race.
"I learned that it's all about how good your car is that weekend at thattrack. I don't really care if it's a short track or a big track--whereverwe can have a good car and be competitive, lead some laps, and hopefullywin some races."
Given the success of some of the more recent "young guns" in the Cupseries, Riggs balks a bit at being labeled as such. "Well, when you lookat some of the other rookies, I'm not really a young gun . . . I guessI'm more of a middle-aged gun," said the 33-year-old Riggs.
Riggs has the advantage of having raced against a lot of the Cup driversin both the Truck Series and Busch Series. "I think it's good for me tohave raced in the past with a lot of the Cup guys," he says. "You alwayshave to learn your competition. I feel like I have a pretty good ideaabout a lot of the guys, how they race you, what their thought processesare, and how to race them on the track, because I've raced them on theTruck circuit and in the Busch cars. Those guys, knowing them and havinga little more history with them, I probably feel a little morecomfortable with them because I know what to expect from them."
As a Busch Series rookie in 2002, Riggs earned his first pole and wonhis first race in his first seven races in ppc Racing's Nesquik machine.He went on to win the Rookie of the Year award and finished 10th in theseries points. He was also voted Most Popular Driver. In 2003 he wasSixth in the final points.
In his first full season as a Craftsman Truck Series driver, he won fiveraces, finished Fifth in the points, and finished in the Top 5 on 14occasions. He had raced three quarters of a season in 2000, earningeight Top 10 finishes in 17 races and finishing 20th in points.
Judging by his record in the Trucks and Busch Series, it won't be longbefore everyone else knows just what to expect from this "middle-agedgun."

Soccer Blanks North Carolina State, 2-0
Nov. 3, 2002
Raliegh, N.C. - The UIC men's soccer team ended the 2002 regular season on a high note with a 2-0 shutout at North Carolina State on Sunday afternoon in a non-conference match-up for both schools.
With the win, the Flames will take a 9-7-2 overall record into the Horizon League Tournament on Saturday, guaranteeing the team its sixth straight winning season. UIC, which finished third in the league with a 4-2-1 mark, will host #6 Detroit on November 9, at 1:00 p.m.
The Wolfpack, meanwhile, fall to 4-13-0 on the year with the loss.
UIC controlled the offensive play in this contest, outshooting North Carolina State, 22-7, while putting 11 shots on goal. Freshman Ross Cain would take care of things on the defensive end, tabbing three saves for his second straight, and sixth overall, shutout of the season in goal.
Freshman Daniel Bartulovic gave the Flames their first goal in the 35th-minute, redirecting a corner kick from senior Bruno Rasich into the back of the net. It was Bartulovic's second career goal.
The score remained 1-0 until the 85th-minute when reserve Chris Pipis scored his first goal of the season with rookies Roberto Gallo and Sinisa Ubiparipovic getting creditetd for assists on the play.

Call Toll Free: (866) 657-9128
Day after day businesses are searching for material handling solutions that enhance efficiency by utilizing forklifts in Mountain View. Almost all manufacturers only have one forklift dealer in Mountain View but you still need to call around on The Forklift Center for the best rates. Warehouse forklift operators have incorporated equipment into the very blueprint of their facilities. Luckily there is literally a forklift for every scenario and many that can serve double and triple duty such as reach-forklifts, stand up/rider combos, walkie stackers, side loaders, side loaders, electric forklifts, internal combustion, walkie tow-lifts, articulating, remote controlled and many more. There are a lot of ways you can get used forklifts for sale in Mountain View but you will always be disappointed if you don't have a solid understanding of what you need. Picking out your lift truck is always the initial step, select from:
Truth be told, quick response time is actually the most critical thing for you to find when you need forklift repair in Mountain View. Unforeseen forklift service is a situation that every business will have to deal with at some time whether for a broken attachment or electrical malfunction. A lot of companies can easily promise quick service but if they overextend themselves then you can generate losses by having idle inventory. You can often find round-the-clock forklift repair in Mountain View but it can help when you have a routine maintenance contract which gives you priority. Regular forklift service is unbelievably affordable particularly when compared to the up front costs for new or replacement equipment, so don't skimp. Forklift maintenance contracts are an unfortunate requirement in order to avoid much larger repairs down the road.
Even for corporations that have big equipment fleets it can sometimes make sense to get a forklift rental in Mountain View if inventory is backed up. Retailers with a few facilities rent forklifts regularly if they have no means of transferring the equipment back and forth. Many company owners are turned off by the idea of renting a forklift as they prefer to own, but the trade off comes with additional ability to deal with more work. Many business owners simply don't take a moment to do the math to fully evaluate what costs less. This is why the majority of equipment suppliers focus on dependability and durability in their products since it is less likely to put you in a bind. As with any business expense forklift rental prices can go up and down significantly depending on your timing and of course the time of year. Normally companies who rent lift trucks won't supply an operator so it is important to have a worker qualified. Many warehouses are definitely more efficient by owning equipment to keep a lid on costs more effectively, but temporary solutions can help you deal with the unforeseen problems that go with any business.
Buying a used forklift in Mountain View is a great idea for the cost sensitive facility owner. You have to check around and consult with a few equipment dealers but there are so many solutions that deciding can be a painful experience. The choice to purchase a new versus used forklift truck is not one that should be taken very casually. A lot of people in the material handling industry choose to purchase a Toyota forklift, Crown or Caterpillar forklift because they are the largest brands. Some other manufacturers worth noting are Nissan forklifts, Raymond and Yale lift trucks. Make sure you get the best price on a used forklift for sale by consulting industry professionals that regularly sell outdated lift trucks. Buying a used forklift in Mountain View makes your decision on which manufacturer to go with all the more important. For instance if a Toyota forklift is reconditioned then it can truly end up like new, and a lot of dealers will provide performance guarantees. It is clear that used forklifts do not need to be a risk.
Let The Forklift Center help you with your complete equipment needs in Mountain View. Quickly type in your information into the quote form and we get the job done for you.
Customer Testimonial
"I was able to save 40% through The Forklift Center. Once the dealers knew they were competing I had a few options that were less than the initial quote. And it took no time at all."

Strachan ready to step in
early sidebar
By Harvey Fialkov
Sun Sentinel
SUNRISE Talk about multi-tasking.
One minute defenseman Tyson Strachan was helping his AHL team in San Antonio pull out a dramatic 5-4 overtime victory over the Chicago Wolves to take a 1-0 lead in their best-of-five, Western Conference quarterfinal series in the Calder Cup tournament Thursday night.
And the following morning, Strachan flew in from Texas to South Florida to fill in for injured defenseman Jason Garrison (lower-body injury) in pivotal Game 5 of the Panthers-Devils NHL Eastern Conference quarterfinal series of the Stanley Cup tournament.
"Of course there are mixed emotions,'' Strachan said after Saturday's morning skate at BankAtlantic Center. "Obviously, you want them to be winning down there, but at the same time the chance to be up here in the Stanley Cup playoffs is a hard one to pass up. Just excited to be here and help out if they need me.''
The Panthers signed Strachan as a free agent last summer to a one-year, two-way deal that they extended him another season with his first one-way NHL contract in late February after he admirably filled in for 15 games when Dmitry Kulikov injured his knee.
Strachan, 27, who had one goal and two assists with a plus-1 on-ice rating for Florida, doesn't possess Garrison's powerful slap shot from the point during the power play, but he does have a pretty good one, and is a solid defenseman.
Garrison has a power-play goal in the series and nine of his career-high 16 goals came during the power play this season. The Panthers were 6-for-10 on the power play in the first three games with Garrison and 0-for-6 without him in Game 4's 4-0 loss.
The Panthers were down to five defensemen in the third period when the Devils erupted for three goals because defenseman Keaton Ellerby also sustained a lower-body injury in his first career playoff game and will be out for Game 5.
"Those are two guys that are tough to lose; they're big parts of our team and defensive corps," rookie defenseman Erik Gudbranson said. "They're a little bit beaten down, but they're tough guys and will be back in the lineup soon.
"We're definitely extremely confident with Tyson in the lineup. He played really well when he was up for awhile, and we have no doubts in our mind that we're going to have the best team on the ice tonight."
Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said the toughest part of his defensemen shortage Thursday was the potential of fatigue to the remaining five who were logging extra minutes.
"[Garrison's] a big part of the power play and logs a lot of minutes for us, but that's why you have organizational depth and Tyson comes up and he's played some really strong stretches of hockey, so he can go in and certainly do the job for us,'' Dineen said. "The organization has faith in him, signed him to a new contract after a month here and I think that was very deserving.
"He came in and showed he could play a regular shift in the NHL and could do it in the regular season and could do it in the playoffs.''
While Strachan was with the St. Louis Blues when they were swept by the Vancouver Canucks in a 2008-09 Western Conference quarterfinal series, he was a healthy scratch in all four games.
"The pace of play is always going to be a step up and add in the fact it's a 2-2 series in the first round of the playoffs and I know the intensity is going to be there. I need to be able to jump right in there and match it and I'm excited to try.
"This is where you want to be. You don't want to be sitting at home or on the golf course. This is what we work all year for. It's a great atmosphere and I'm excited.''
Dineen not concerned with goalie switches
With the probability that Jose Theodore would return to the net Saturday after being replaced by Scott Clemmensen early in Game 3 and for all of Game 4, Dineen was unconcerned with his veteran goalies mental approach to the unstable situation.
"We're so far beyond worrying about our goalie's state of mind,'' he said. "It's not just this series or in years past, they understand the situation. Nothing has to be painted on to them. We expect them to go out and do the job like they have their whole careers.
"That's what makes it easier for [goaltender coach Robb Tallas] and I because you got two goalies who have seen so many scenarios over their career they could react and get ready to respond as needed.''
Brodeur bounce-back
Devils goalie Martin Brodeur, who was pulled in Game 3 early in the second period after allowing three goals, responded with his NHL-record 24th playoff shutout in Game 4.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Brodeur, who has won 101 playoff games, has been pulled from six postseason games and he has notched shutouts in the following game on three occasions.

What Can I Use to Determine if I Have Enough Money for Retirement?
Original post by Maggie McCormick of Demand Media
Retirement costs can vary widely depending on the area and the type of lifestyle you're used to living. Although your costs in retirement may go down, your income may go down as well. Whether you are looking to retire early, or just want to make plans for the future, it's important to look at all the angles to determine if you'll have enough money for retirement.
Retirement Calculator
Many top financial websites offer retirement calculators. This will take data that you input, including your current salary and savings, to determine how much money you should be saving for retirement. Using this estimate, you can see if you have enough to retire now.
Social Security Statement
Many retirees rely on the Social Security checks to get by. The amount that you'll receive is based on how much you paid into the system. You'll typically receive a yearly statement that indicates how much you should expect, but you can also use the estimator at the Social Security website to calculate this amount. With this figure, you can estimate whether you'll be able to get by on this amount alone, or if you have enough money to supplement the earnings you receive from Social Security.
Budgeting Software
To accurately estimate how much money you'll need in retirement, it's smart to know how much money you're spending right now. A budgeting software program can show you how much money you're spending in categories like housing, utilities and transportation. However, when you retire, costs like commuting costs will go down, while other costs like utilities may go up.
State Tax Guides
Taxes can vary from state to state, which can have a big impact on how much money you'll need for retirement. For example, some states tax the money that you receive from your retirement funds, while others allow you to exempt some, or all, of this income. It's especially important to look at the state tax guides if you'll be moving to a new state after you retire, as the laws may be much different from what you're used to.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that individuals who are 60
years old and over are less likely to
contract swine flu than children between the ages of 5
and 14. Children in this
age group are 14 times
more likely to contract
the H1N1 virus, according to a study by the
Chicago Department of
Public Health.
"One of the unusual
things about the swine
flu is that it often strikes the
young, healthy people, while skipping over the elderly," reports The Wall

Update have also reported that some
seniors may have an existing immunity
to the swine flu because of previous
exposure to H1N1 viruses that circulated
between 1928 and 1957.
Here are six recommendations fromthe CDC that caregivers can use to pre-vent the spread of swine flu:Avoid contact with people ifyou, or they, are sick.
Stay at home—from
work, school, or other
public activities—when you
are sick.
Shield others from yourcoughs and sneezes by usinga tissue.Wash your hands often.Keep your hands away from youreyes, nose, or mouth.
Maintain healthful habits—get ample
sleep and exercise, drink fluids, eat well.
About 40 percent of Americans are
expected to contract the H1N1 virus, according to the CDC. For the latest CDC
updates, go to www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says U.S. life
expectancy is the highest it's ever
been—78 years old, on average—
mainly due to falling death rates in
several categories.
This latest statistic, combined
with plentiful data
about the aging
population, is yet
another reason investors are eyeing
opportunities in the senior living
U.S. life expectancy reached 77.7
years in 2006 and 77.9 years in 2007,
which ranks the nation at about 30
among other countries. Japan has the
longest life expectancy—83 years—

Among the findings, 45
percent of insured senior
women have three or
more chronic conditions
compared with 38 percent

This finding and others
in the report are particularly significant given
that female residents in

65 today will spend some

AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES - Ray Young scored a career-high 30 points and UCLA defeated Washington State 86-71 Thursday night to improve its chances of finishing higher than eighth in the Pac-10.
If the Bruins (8-18, 5-12 Pac-10) stay out of the eighth spot, they could avoid playing No. 1 Arizona in the first round of the conference tournament next week.
Of course, UCLA still must beat Washington on Saturday to guarantee a berth in the eight-team tournament. Bruins coach Steve Lavin said he believes he will be dismissed at the end of the season, which is the Bruins' worst in 55 years. They are 4-10 at Pauley Pavilion, their most losses ever at home in one season.
The news is equally as bad for the Cougars (7-19, 2-15), who extended their streak of never winning at Pauley, where they are 0-46. They've lost 21 consecutive games to the Bruins and are 0-11 on the road this season.
Citing unidentified sources, ESPN.com reported Thursday that Washington State coach Paul Graham will be officially fired Monday after being told by athletic director Jim Sterk of his dismissal earlier this week.
However, the Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane, Wash., reported Thursday that Graham will be retained for the fifth and final year of his contract.
Chris Schlatter came off the bench to lead the Cougars with a career-high 19 points. He scored 10 straight early in the second half to draw Washington State within five. Randy Green also had 19 points for the Cougars, who got no closer the rest of the way.
Ahead 57-52, UCLA outscored Washington State 21-7 for a 78-59 lead with 1:53 remaining.
Jason Kapono, who scored a career-high 44 points against the Cougars in January, scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half. He had nine in a row, including back-to-back 3-pointers, during UCLA's decisive run.
The Bruins took a 40-25 lead with an 11-0 run late in the first half before the Cougars scored the final five points to trail 40-30 at the break.
Entire sections of the upper balcony at Pauley were nearly empty at a game attended by 6,619. The Bruins have averaged 8,453 at home this season, which is among the lowest ever.

Chewing the Fats
The experts are out from under their rocks. And it seems they've now gotten together to sort out good fats from bad fats. More from Madeline Vann of HealthDay News:
"Of greatest importance is the type of fat one chooses," registered dietitian and co-author Penny Kris-Etherton said in a prepared statement. "The healthiest choices are unsaturated fats found in liquid vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, and omega-3 unsaturated fats found in fatty fish such as salmon, sardines and shellfish…"Yuck dairy—yuck-yuck! For a better didactic on fats, check out this excerpt from Dr. Fuhrman's book Cholesterol Protection For Life. Here:
…The Dietary Fatty Acids recommendations guide people to follow a food-based approach for achieving the following fatty acid recommendations:
- Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
- Eat lean protein such as meats, poultry and low-fat dairy products.
- Eat fish, especially those high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon.
- Use non-hydrogenated margarines and oils.
SATURATED FATFor Dr. Fuhrman's entire breakdown of fats, give this post a whirl: The Glossary of Cholesterol.
Some naturally occurring fats are called saturated because all the carbon atoms are single bonds. These fats are solid at room temperature and generally recognized as a significant cause of both heart disease and cancer. Saturated fats are found mainly in meat, fowl, eggs, and dairy. The foods with the most saturated fat are butter, cream, and cheese.
Saturated fat raises your LDL-cholesterol level more than anything else in the diet. Eating too much saturated fat and cholesterol is the main reason for the high number of heart attacks seen in North America and other countries.
These fats are a mix of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. Eating unsaturated fats lowers cholesterol when substituted for saturated fats, but excessive amounts may promote cancer and obesity. Examples of unsaturated fats are the fats in nuts and seeds such as flax seeds, sunflower seeds, macadamia and pistachio nuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews, as well as avocados and olives.

Second in a series celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Communist Party USA.
Over the past 90 years the Communist Party USA has published a number of newspapers and magazines - from daily and weekly newspapers to monthly theoretical and cultural journals to internal organizational bulletins.
Additionally, if we include publications printed by party-affiliated unions, civil rights and youth organizations led by the party, and journals that relied heavily on party members as editorial board members or regular contributors, we find that the party and its leaders were responsible for literally hundreds of publications over the past 90 years.
In fact, from the Labor Defender (the publication of the International Labor Defense) to the New Masses and Masses and Mainstream (popular cultural magazines), to Political Affairs (the official theoretical journal of the CPUSA); from Labor Unity (the publication of the Trade Union Unity League) to the Marine Workers' Voice (the publication of the Marine Workers' Industrial Union); from the Mobilizer (the publication of the Harlem Prolets) to the Whitney-Cush-Bloor Organization Bulletin (one of many internal party bulletins); from the Organizer (the publication of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression) to Freedomways Magazine (a journal of black liberation); from Labor Today (the publication of Trade Unionists for Action and Democracy) to the Daily Worker (the daily newspaper of the CPUSA), the Daily World and the People's Weekly World, we find a red thread woven throughout the tapestry of the people's movement and the people's literature.
While telling the story of the party's leadership and participation in all of the publications listed above (as well as hundreds of others) is a key part of our history, we can only whet your appetite. Suffice it to say, this is a very short list of publications that relied heavily on the Communist Party and its writers.
Now we must move on to a much less ambitious goal: looking at what the Communist Party's newspapers wrote on January 21, 1935, 1955 and 1985. Again, unfortunately, we can only whet your appetite.
Daily Worker, January 21, 1935
On the front page of the January 21, 1935, issue of the Daily Worker we find a criticism of the Roosevelt administration's support for the Wagner-Lewis "Unemployment Reserves" bill. According to the editorial, the bill was "a fraud that grants not one penny to the present vast army of the unemployed." At this time the party supported the Workers' Unemployment, Old Age and Social Insurance Act, HR 2827, a more radical piece of legislation supported by the broad people's movement, the unemployment councils and most of the labor movement.
Also on the front page are articles dealing with the International Labor Defense gains in the Scottsboro Boys case; a textile workers' strike in Rossville, Ga.; and a 10,000 person Lenin memorial gathering in Philadelphia.
Inside the January 21, 1935, issue we find an article dealing with the Georgia Federal Emergency Relief Administration's cutting of relief jobs pay to 15 cents an hour; an article about William Randolph Hearst's "lies about the Communist Party"; and a "Little Lefty" cartoon, among other items.
Daily Worker, January 21, 1955
The front cover of the January 21, 1955, edition of the Daily Worker features an article on the Claude Lightfoot Smith Act trial. Claude Lightfoot was a prominent Chicago leader of the party; the Smith Act was used during the McCarthy era to outlaw the Communist Party and imprison its leaders. Lightfoot's defense attorney, John J. Abt, asked the presiding judge to dismiss the case since the government had produced "not a shred, not a word of direct evidence" concerning the defendant. Also on the front page is an article on the special convention of the International Fur and Leather Workers' Union, a party-led union.
Inside, we find an article on what the AFL-CIO merger means for labor. The editorial urges "ACTIVE interest of the rank and file in the CIO and AFL ... to prevent the talks from breaking up in disagreement." There is also an article on Anna Bary, another Smith Act victim, who was freed on bail; an advertisement for the Daily Worker's Anniversary Ball; Lester Rodney's regular sports column "On the Scoreboard"; and a Civil Rights Congress flier advertising a rally to free African American Communist Party leaders Benjamin Davis and William L. Patterson.
Daily World , January 22, 1985
(Note: the Daily World did not publish on Sunday or Monday during this period. January 21, 1985, was a Monday.)
The lead story for January 22, 1985, was, "Inauguration Day Protests: Give Us Jobs, Not Bombs." On page 2 is an article dealing with the arrest of four Chicago steelworkers union leaders during a jobs protest at the U.S. Steel South Works plant.
Also in this issue we find an article dealing with a plant shutdown in Gary, Ind. The article says in part, "The economic crisis that swept through the basic industrial sector left personal devastation in its wake." We also find an article from Connecticut dealing with Yale University's union vote on their first contract; an article urging "massive protests" against apartheid; an article commemorating the defeat of fascism in Poland; and an article critiquing network television, saying that "we deserve better."
As we can see, throughout its 90 years the Communist Party USA has not only been in the forefront of the struggles for workers' rights, peace, jobs, equality and socialism, it has also broken ground in its use of media to report on those struggles.
Marx wrote, "Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point however is the change it." Through party publications and broad-based newspapers, magazines and journals published by party-led institutions, the Communist Party has left an undeniable mark on the American working class. Undoubtedly, we've changed the world.

Video chat has been around for a while now, but the growth of social media has raised the stakes for companies seeking to capture the hearts, minds, and visual images of online users. Just in the last few weeks, video chat providers big and small have announced a dizzying number of new features designed to capture share in a market that some consider to be the gold mine of the future. Who ultimately emerges the winner after the dust settles will be fascinating to watch.
Up to now, two of the biggest players in this space have been Google Hangouts and Skype. Late last month, Skype announced that they would provide free group video chatting for up to 10 users (although they caution against linking more than five). This past Monday, Google countered with an update to Hangouts on the mobile platform. They claim to link up to nine users at a time in video chat and their service is also free.
Today, the stakes were raised further when an Israeli company called Rounds announced the release of a free 12 person video chat feature called Live with an intriguing twist. Their live social communication platform sits on top of the browser (Chrome) and allows you to bring HD-quality video "bubbles" onscreen for virtually any website. So, if you are watching a show on YouTube and want to add in video of your friends for a live group chat about what's playing, bring it on.
"Rounds combines communication with the content people are most passionate about," says Natasha Shine-Zirkel, the company's chief marketing officer. "It's video chatting fundamentally fused with shared online entertainment."
The video bubbles are also interactive, with a set of symbols wrapped around the image that controls audio for each and lets you generate public or private messaging. Rounds also has a mobile app on Android and iOS.
The company got its start several years ago with a Facebook-powered video chat feature. It has lined up $10 million in funding from an impressive array of backers including DFJ's Tim Draper and other private investors.
According to Shine-Zirkel, earlier tests of Rounds Live with users watching content such as The X Factor (Israel) showed longer times of interaction in group video chat, an average of 20 to 30 minutes per session. If that holds, it could bode well for the future growth of this product.
Despite the recent increased activity by players in the video chat space over the past few weeks, this is still a market fraught with peril. Just ask Sean Parker of Napster and Facebook fame. His start-up company - Airtime – quietly folded last February after a $33 million attempt to launch a video chat service tied to desktop computers. His company has morphed into a much more low-key product called OkHello that is targeted for the mobile user.
The honest truth is that video chatting requires the acceptance of a whole host of factors in order to succeed, not the least of which are how you look and where you are. Throw in the quality of your camera and the microphone and you've now got a much more complicated task than just making a phone call.
Rounds and others are betting that in today's increasingly more interactive world, people will gravitate towards face-to-face communication frequently and with gusto. Shine-Zirkel likens the concept to a linked set of train cars. As one fills up with 12 enthusiastic people, another opens. It's like a private train with all your friends where the party never stops as it heads merrily down the track. For those running the railroad, it could be a wild and interesting ride.

My heart is broken.
Wow, thats horrible! We are broke but damn my husband bought me a ton of cheap things he knew I would love! My favorite candy, some LOTR/Hobbit stuff and such. All together about 20 bucks. I spent 12 bucks on a usb nintendo controller for him...I told him not to get me anything and he even worked extra days to get our daughter stuff (things she needs). I would be so upset if that ever happened! I mean damn he has control over the money? Hell no, thats not cool! Im sorry, that would break my heart!

Honestly I would get out ASAP and not wait until you finish school. Are there any family members you can live with for a while? Between child support, working part-time (if you can) and student loans (while it's not the best idea financially, I think in this situation I would do it), you can survive. Financial abuse is real and I'm worried with how controlling he sounds that he may abuse you in other ways.

05/16/2011 Freedom Watch w/ Tom McClintock, Mick Mulvaney, Stephen Moore, Michael Scheuer, Neill Franklin, more
Here is the Monday, May 16th, 2011 edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
Here is the Monday, May 16th, 2011 edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
I AM LOOKING FOOR OUR SENATORS TO IMPEACH OBAMA AND HIS FRIENDS THE CZARS, THE BROTHERHOOD MUSLMS IN THE WHITE, MAKE A CLEAN white house, it is we the peoples white house, which he has made it into something that needs to be cleaned up
Well the Obama issues is over. So we have to forget everything because he is now rest on peace. I think we have to figure out the corrupted and the dominant official on the said country.
Yes Obama's issue is over but there are lot of rumor about him. They said Obama is a joke.. his taking more vacations than any president to this date.. and the unemployment has gone down because the people worked to get it down..
How come, ,whenever you news people talk about cutting government spending, you can only come up with cuts to Social Security and medicare. You never talk about the billions in foreign aid and all the wars we are engaged in. We can gaurde the border of South Korea, but not our borders. I am 75, and have tried to find partime work to suplement my socialsecurty check, to no avail, I would love to see sombody address these issues, Thanks for letting me vent.
I agree with Charles. Every country talks about Medicare and Social Security when it comes to budget cuts. If countries didn't send so much money overseas with regards to foreign aid and the wars. even if you took 10% of the cost of the wars and reinvested it into the country in other ways, that would be a huge cash injection into any country. Appreciate the opportunity to voice my opinion.
Obama is a great president.but he has lots of difficulties on dealing with the country issue.
Is the incident in Houston, disallowing "God" or "Jesus" to be mentioned in services, a violation of the first amandment? Do they allow our currency to be exchanged there?
Judge: Get a load of THIS: "But in a sign that the two sides are still split, Democrats are reportedly exploring whether Obama could decide to increase the debt ceiling without any approval from Congress. Such a decision could be based on language in the Constitution that says the validity of the U.S. public debt "shall not be questioned," which Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has said could be seen as a way to justify a presidential decision to increase the debt ceiling." Here's link: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/16958…
Pres. Obama should resolved issues like this if he doesn't wan't to be impeach.
Why don't we start a competition between the candidates to list specifically what they would cut and we keep track of the dollars. If Freedom Watch keeps track of the competition it is something many people would toon in for.
Charles, with respect that is a very mixed response. Social security and Medicare 'at home' are just as important as foreign aid in an intimately connected world. War expenditure— yes, we can do with much less of that and if rich countries were better at foreign aid for the benefit of people rather than of economies we'd have fewer wars.
Judge, tonight show with Mitchel, film with pres. laughter about 800 plus billion, yes it was a flush down gov. toilet hole but what about the G.E. pres. laughter who's company paid zero fed. taxes.
Charles, I have the candidate for you. Did you hear about Ron Paul? He is anti-war, is against the fed, will lower taxes, and will balance budget. Ron Paul 2012 President !
we are spending millions on the wrong wars that all politians are afraid to talk about but ron paul-bring all -all the troops home now, now. let those foreign people kill each other as they have been doing for thousands of years. now they are killing our courageous men and women. get our people out of that ring of death now. these people hate us,let them fight each other BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW.
bring the troops home now,now.
comment is—send the troops home now,
how many times do i have to write a comment to post.?
I have to agree with howard becker. I think it's time Obama sent the troops home… This war is madness.
The video is gone.
Well the Obama issues is over. So we have to forget everything because he is now rest on peace. I think we have to figure out the corrupted and the dominant official on the said country.
i think the old bush government is pulling their hair outs right now
I think all presidents make at least a few promises they don't keep. It's hard, being a democracy, because WE the people elect them.
I believe we are on the brink of bloody revolution because we forget history we are going to fall!!!
To help balance the budget cut the salaries of all the U.S. congressman, senators, and representavies by 40 precent and freeze those salaries for 5 yrs. Make them pay into social security like all other people. Limit the number of yrs. an ex-president can draw a salary. Also, make their raises be by a vote of the people, and by all means bring are troops home to defend the American people against the invasion of our home land.
Andrew, how do you defend your belief in freedom and in being left alone — and then state that a woman has no right to terminate her pregnancy. You call it "murdering children" and would have your idea enforced – by law. It's an individual choice, solely, ultimately, by the woman. If asked your point of view on abortion, your reply should always be, "I have no opinion." So I say to you about your hatred of abortion, "Then don't have one."
The whole reaon I voted for Obama in the first place was because he promised to being the troops home. I can't express how disappointed I am with him at this point, and regret placing my vote for him.
The obama issue is over. We should forget it and look forward.
As to the used car saleman who wants to hire gangs to blow up the U.S.A. after the trial send him back to Iran. We need to fdind out where he got money to do this. If we can't impeach Obama then look deeply into where he was born. If perchance he waqs born outside of the U.S.A. then sue him for 5 Trillion dollars and send him back to where he was born.
Hello Judge. I watch your show regularly. I respect your views on the constitution however I'm troubled when I read the constitution and I see what's going on today. Here are some violations of the constitution I see happening and I'd like to know if you agree with me
(1) I believe the EPA, FDA, Energy Department, Education Department and drug prohibition laws being in the hands of the federal government is unconstitutional because for one, the constitution did not delegate Congress the power to legislate in any of these areas, nor were these areas prohibited from being in the hands of the states. So according to the 10th amendment, they are reserved to the states. When you talked about Ohio's amendment to Obama's healthcare mandate, you mentioned that the federal government may use the supremacy clause to fight it. As I have read it, this clause implies that Congress only has supremacy in those powers delegated to it and any confusion to that is cleared up by the 10th amendment. Does the line following the supremacy clause: "… any Thing in the Consitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwhithstanding" negate the 10th amendment? If not, then my point so far is valid.
Comment 2: The aforementioned areas in which the federal government has assumed control are governed by regulatory bureaucracies in the Executive Branch which enact regulations having the force of law and are the functional equivalent thereof, yet the Constitution gives absolutely no authority to the Executive Branch to do this. As I understand it, it doesn't even authorize the Executive Branch to create such bureaucracy.
Comment 3: These agencies do not exist by consent of the people and are completely unaccountable to the people. As you have seen, the result has been a president who circumvents the congress and governs as an authoritarian which destroys the pluralism the framers intended for this country.
One last point: you always say on your show that the Constitution was written to keep the government off the people's back and to preserve individual freedoms. If that were the case, such a document would have to be completely unambiguous, otherwise it establishes nothing and as we've seen, the Constitution is somewhat ambiguious and this ambiguity tends to lean in favor of more government power and less individual freedom. Perhaps my understanding of the Constitution is incorrect. Since I greatly respect your perspective on these matters, I would appreciate your response because I am losing faith in the future of our freedoms and I don't know what to do about that.
ps: I'm laying all this on you because I don't have anybody in my life to discuss these issues in depth without getting into an argument with them.
Unions are necessary except in times of financial hardship. Easy solution = suspend unions during recessions or depressions.
Obama is making George Bush look like a peacenik. He uses drone stikes with
abandon. Said stikes do not distinguish terrorist from innocent civilians.
Every Judge needs to take lessons from you Judge Napolitano. You are simply the greatest. Keep up the good work defending freedom.
Freedom Watch, hell. Should be called the Ron Paul hour. Do you like his stance on Iran or on drugs? He doesn't like cops at all which is fine by me, but he never mentions the lousy judges and lawyers or the horse crap legal system we have. He is at heart a miserable lawyer, and you can't get much lower then that. I thought that other jerk Geraldo Rivera talked a lot but this guy never shuts up, another lawyer trait.
To Jamie. You can talk all you want about abortion but did you ever pick up a newborn in your arms and realize you were holding a miracle in your hands? If you have you would never want to murder a infant. I personally think you abortion lovers should be charged with murder as that is just what you are doing when you suck the brains out of a baby or sever their spinal columns. I hopw you all rot in hell.
Of course I like his stance on Iran and drugs. They're the only sensible positions. I don't know how he feels about cops, but I as President I don't see how that's relevant.
He's not a lawyer, he's a doctor. You're confusing him with someone else.
YES YES YES we have written and written our congressmen about this and NOTHING gets done!!!

PVCC SCORES 100th GOAL IN FIRST ROUND OF NATIONALS
Melbourne, Fla. - PVCC defeated Louisburg College in the first round at Nationals 3-0. The Pumas took control of play early in the game scoring in the 11th minute. Jessie DeLeon finished off a cross from Ashley Johnson. Twenty minutes later Tianna Stewert crossed a ball to Ali Doller who found the back of the net. The last goal came in the 89th minute. DeLeon blasted a shot that hit off the crossbar and Erica Gonzalez followed and volleyed the rebound for PVCC's 100th goal of the season.
Tessa Hamberlin and Rachel Cardwell split time in the net and each had 1 save.
"This is a great start to the tournament. We did some things very well in the game but will have to make some adjustments moving forward," commented Coach Kacey Bingham. The Pumas play again Wednesday at 11:30am EST against Laramie(#7).

UO will return 18 letter winners from this season and potentially 9-of-11 starters. The Ducks also welcome back all of their top scorers and their starting goalkeeper.
The Ducks will open their exhibition slate with two road matches, beginning April 5 at Portland. The Ducks and Pilots will meet at 2 p.m. in Beaverton. In the regular season, Oregon forced then-15th-ranked Portland to overtime for the first time in program history before falling 2-1. The Pilots finished with a 17-3-1 record last season and reached the second round of the NCAA Championships.
Oregon will then travel to Corvallis on April 12th to meet Oregon State at 2 p.m. OSU finished with a 6-12-2 record this year.
The remainder of the spring schedule will be played at Papè Field as Oregon hosts three home matches. UO hosts Portland State on April 18 at 7 p.m. Oregon blanked the Vikings, 3-0, in the 2013 season-opener. Portland State went on to a 12-4-3 record.
Division II foe Seattle Pacific will travel to Eugene on April 26 for a 1:30 p.m. meeting with the Ducks. The Falcons posted a 15-6-1 record and reached the second round of the NCAA Division II Championships.
Oregon's final spring match will be played against Western Oregon on May 17th at 5 p.m. The Wolves, a Division II team from Monmouth, went 9-4-6 this season. The exhibition will be held at the conclusion of UO's Spring ID Camp. All matches are free to the public.

Do interface variables have value-type or reference-type semantics?
Interfaces are implemented by types, and those types are either value types or reference types. Obviously, both
int and
string implement
IComparable, and
int is a value type, and
string is a reference type. But what about this:
IComparable x = 42;
IComparable y = "Hello, World!";
(The question I was trying to answer was presumably deleted because it asked whether interfaces are stored on the stack or the heap, and, as we should all be aware, it's more constructive to think of differences between value and reference types in terms of their semantics rather than their implementation. For a discussion, see Eric Lippert's The stack is an implementation detail.)

JWC TO HELEN WELSH ; 9 July 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520709-JWC-HW-01; CL 27: 160-161
Friday [9 July 1852]
Dearest Helen
I am well aware that I have no lawful claim to any letter from Auchtertool—and yet such is the natural injustice of me that I have been daily expecting one, and feel as if I were an injured woman— Clearly none is coming, anyhow, until I shall have myself written, and so I write—tho, in circumstances of 'distraction' making all reflection and even all grammar impossible. Our "year in Germany" has ended, for the present at least, in a general repair of this house, worse than repair indeed for certain alterations are being made that have throw the whole first floor in 'ruins,' and every day irruption is made into some room above or beneath rendering it necessary to catch up all the furniture in ones arms and rush away with it—one knows not where! a week now has passed in this violent exertion and there may be some three months more of it for any hope I see to the contrary, and if you consider that the thermometer has been all the while standing at 83 in the shade—and also that Mr C exactly at the wrong moment has been seized with an invincible disposition to stay where he is you will readily figure that my situation is rather wonderful, and not favourable to letterwriting— If Mr C had but gone away, I should have had his bedroom, which is only to be papered and painted; into which I might have stowed away myself and the furniture for a time—but he has had the little dressing room turned into a most delectable study for the occasion, and there he sits serene in the middle of a noise as of a battle of Waterloo, and universal chaos throut the rest of the house—then of course meals and all that sort of thing must go on as usual, and cold baths! and his floor must be kept constantly watered—and in short I have had to bring back my little girl to attend to him especially— For a week or two before the disturbance began I was every day running up and down to the City and elsewhere—after the lease and lawyers, and houseagents and architects and the devil knows what—and all the while not knowing whether Mr C would go or stay or whether I myself was not to go on the first of July to Homberg with the Ashburtons— Now, it seems pretty certain that I must stay here—at least till the painting begin, and then I must retire into the neighbourhood to superintend it— Mr C thinks it would be all botched up if nobody looked to it—and I dare say it would— Lady A offered me the use of Addiscombe whence I could come twice a week or so—but I shall hardly accept that magnificent Retirement—if I can find any other—
Nero is very unhappy—and I am uncomfortable enough—but like better being tired out in this way than in soirees &c—thanks god—I keep clear of headachs—and in spite of the intense heat my sickness is not so continuous this summer as the two or three previous ones—
Best not miss a post

If you do not properly clean your humidifier, you could greatly increase your family's risk of respiratory illness, as well as increase the risk of asthmatic events.
I recall a friend of mine who was worried about her daughter, she was constantly coughing and taking prescribed antibiotics, over and over again, for respiratory infection. Her daughter seemed to get better, but as soon as the antibiotic schedule was complete, it was only a few days before she would become sick again.
I found that my friend was unaware that she should clean her humidifier, which was placed on the main floor in her living room. I showed her how to clean it and disinfect it. I also recommended that she follow this procedure, at a minimum, every 2 – 3 days. It was thereafter that her daughter regained her health and no longer suffered from illness.
If one does not properly clean their humidifier, eventually the unit will emit a mist packed full of fungus and bacteria, which grow quickly in most humidifier units. This is why a manufacturer will recommend cleaning humidifiers frequently, then rinse well. However before cleaning your humidifier, refer to the cleaning instructions that are provided by the manufacturer and always unplug it before cleaning.
