With the economy in shambles, many recent college graduates are facing the harsh reality that job opportunities that were available for previous graduating classes are simply not available any longer. Not knowing when the recession will end has also added to the anxiety of many underclassmen as they try to distinguish themselves from the competition before their graduation.
With that in mind several internship programs catering to African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans are looking for qualified applicants to fill available positions. Some even are offering compensation for participants in their internship programs as well as travel expenses. The internship programs are looking for students who are pursuing degrees in business, computer science, engineering, psychology, communications, marketing, advertising and others.
A few of the opportunities include: AAAS Minority Science Writers Internship, IBM Minority Research Internship, Louis Carr Internship, Google Diversity Internship, NASCAR Diversity Internship, Nationwide/Tom Joyner Foundation Internship Program, Minority Access Internship Program, American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Minority Internship and INROADS Internship.
According to Black http://Students.com, the Tom Joyner Foundation internship is a partnership with the famous radio personality and Nationwide to help students continue their education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The program is a 10-week paid internship that includes transportation and furnished housing. Interns may also qualify for academic scholarships through this program.
The INROADS program, which has a long history of creating opportunities for minority students, is another internship willing to help students begin their professional careers. According to http://Inroads.org, “The mission of INROADS is to develop and place talented minority youth in business and industry and prepare them for corporate and community leadership.”
The program requires interns to maintain at least a “B” average, while staying in good standing with their institution, internship company and INROADS. They must also attend training and coaching sessions, which are scheduled regularly. Furthermore, they must participate in community service to be a part of this program.
In addition, NASCAR, which has come under fire recently for a lack of diversity, launched the NASCAR Diversity Internship in 1999 to provide internship programs for minority students. This program has successfully exposed many interns to motorsport opportunities that they may not have had exposure to without the NASCAR Diversity Internship.
To date, this program has employed approximately 200 interns, many of whom still rave about their experience with NASCAR. “I loved it,” said Joshlyn Ross, a 2008 Images USA, Public Relations intern. “Everything was so hands-on and I felt like I was truly a part of the company”
Amanda Hauck, a 2008 NASCAR, Inc. intern stated, “I did a lot of very interesting work! What I especially appreciated was the opportunity to apply my skills, and therefore sharpen them while at this internship.”
Many of the internship programs have early deadlines, so potential applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. To read a complete listing of the internship programs, please visit http://www.FindInternships.com, because in today’s turbulent economic times, finding any job, including an internship, is becoming just as difficult as finding one’s dream job.

Overreaction Better Than No Action at All
Following Sunday's wild finish to the Aaron's 499 at the Talladega Superspeedway, many in the media seem to be overreacting to the outcome of the latest restrictor-plate race, but it is clear there are some things need to be addressed.
Safety has always been a concern at Talladega, including the track's first event. Afraid tires would not hold up at the speeds being produced, many drivers - led by Richard Petty - boycotted the event. Since then, NASCAR and track officials have kept a careful eye on safety, but unfortunately it usually takes an incident like Carl Edwards' flip on Sunday to get the wheels turning on real change.
When Bobby Allison blew a tire and flew backwards into the catch-fence in 1987, NASCAR implemented the use of restrictor plates. When Rusty Wallace flipped violently past the start-finish line in 1993, the grass was paved to prevent a car from digging in and turning over. When Jimmy Horton flew over the Turn One wall in 1993, the speedway installed fencing all the way around the track - Ricky Craven later put that fencing to the test in 1996. When Dale Earnhardt Sr. flipped into the outside wall in 1996 and was hit in the roof and windshield by a number of other cars, NASCAR introduced the Earnhardt Bar, a roll bar located down the middle of the windshield.
With Edwards' car flying through the air and into the catch-fence, NASCAR should take a closer look at the incident to see where improvements need to be made. For this writer, a number of things stick out about the incident that need to be addressed.
First, it is clear that Edwards was throwing the block on Keselowski in order to push him below the yellow line. We saw in last October's event Regan Smith make the pass for the lead on the apron after being forced down by Tony Stewart, only to be penalized by NASCAR and stripped of the win.
With this precedent, Keselowski was damned and determined not to let up and not to move below the yellow line. When Edwards threw the block, Keselowski was there and the rest is history.
"Regan last year did the right thing," Keselowski said following the event. "He did the smart thing. He did the cool thing. And he did, he did something that I would be proud of if I was him. You know, he took the bullet. To be honest, I didn't. I wasn't going to take the bullet. I'm not in a situation in my career where I can afford to take the bullet and I had nothing to lose."
The second thing that sticks out is the fact Edwards' car got airborne in the first place. With safety innovations such as the roof flaps and the new car itself, it was a surprise to many that the No. 99 lifted into the air in the first place.
Sure, Matt Kenseth flipped his No. 16 during Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide race, but that was a Nationwide car, not a COT. Those types of bodies are more like the old style Cup car than the COT, it is understandable that one of those cars would roll over and flip through the air. However, when Edwards turned down across the nose of Keselowski and his rear wheels immediately lifted into the air, and there is a problem there. This new car was designed to be the safest it could be, but when a car's rear tires lift into the air after being turned NASCAR needs to step in and take a look at ways to keep the cars on the ground.
"I really don't understand why Carl's car did what it did," Keselowski pointed out. "I think that's something we need to look into. Those cars should not go airborne like his did, and I think that kind of confused me. I just thought his car would spin into the triangle. I think we ought to look at that and do some wind tunnel testing on that and see if we can't fix that."
Third-place Ryan Newman agreed with Keselowski that NASCAR needs to keep the cars on the ground at all times.
"The one thing that stands out in my mind is two days in a row, like I've said, we've [seen] a car turned around and get upside down," Newman explained. "We need to go back, not to the drawing board, develop some roof flats or something to keep the cars on the ground; that's one thing not just for the drivers, but for the fans, as well. That's one thing that stands out."
Finally, one of the most surprising things that came from the wreckage was the fact both Edwards and Newman - who hit the flying No. 99 at a speed of almost 200 mph - had sections of their windshield missing. Granted, Edwards hit the catch-fence nearly head on and Newman caught the brunt of Edwards' car in the hood and windshield, but with the technology available today this should never be an issue. Racing at speeds at close to 200 mph, drivers need to feel confident their windshield will not come apart in the course of an accident - regardless of the severity.
"NASCAR has got to do their job to get the cars on the ground and their job to make the cars safer. I noticed my windshield bed pulled away, and Carl Edwards windshield bed pulled away," Newman added. "Whatever we can do to keep making the cars safer, because I'm pretty sure that we are coming back to Talladega, and I'm pretty sure that we are coming back to restrictor plates, and I'm pretty sure that we are coming back to three wide and four wide for most of the races. What we can do to make everybody safer is what we need to do to come out of here today."
In addition, there is no denying the danger posed when Edwards' machine went flying into the catch-fence, sending debris flying into the crowd. NASCAR and track officials have come a long way in the twenty-plus years since Allison's terrifying incident, and thanks to those innovations, Edwards' car did not end up in the grandstands and the injuries - while unfortunate - were kept to a minimum.
This issue is one that is tougher to address. Sunday's incident proved quiet vividly that when a car is sent flying towards the packed crowd, there are safety devices in place to keep the damage as minimal as possible. Fans that attend any sporting event are subject to the dangers posed by that particular sport. Flying baseballs, hockey pucks and broken bats have all been sent into the crowd injuring the innocent bystanders. In a sport where 43 cars travel past thousands of fans at speeds nearing 200 mph, NASCAR has done an amazing job protecting those in the stands from injury or death.
"You have to understand that, like, for years, we have had wrecks like this every time we come to Talladega ever since the plate got here and for years it was celebrated," runner-up Dale Earnhardt Jr. pointed out. "The media celebrated it, the network celebrated it, calling it the big one, just trying to attract attention and trying to bring people's attention to the race.
"So there's a responsibility with the media and the networks and the sanctioning body itself to come to their senses a little bit and think about, you know, the situation," Earnhardt Jr. added. "But I mean, you know, you can't sit here and jump up and go, wow, what I saw today was crazy. I don't think it's right, unless you're a driver, because the media and the networks and everybody has been celebrating that stuff for years."
Clearly Sunday's scary incident has brought attention to the fact there are still gaps in safety that NASCAR needs to address. Yet, Carl Edwards claiming "we'll race like this until we kill somebody" might be taking it a bit far. Keep in mind Edwards was not only able to climb from his mangled race car, but jogged across the finish line afterwards. Now, Edwards is a fit guy, but for anyone to be able to climb from an accident of that magnitude speaks volumes for NASCAR's effort in terms of making the sport as safe as possible.
"There's no such thing as overreaction when it comes to safety," Newman argued. "For not just, like I said, not just us, but the fans as well. Just the bottom line is, whatever we can do to make it safer for everybody, that's what we need to do. And yesterday and today were two things that I'm sure NASCAR will spend some time looking at, replaying some videos and watching what the cars do and let their engineers figure out what we can do to try to help the situation."
Safety is never a finished project, it is something that constantly needs to be tweaked and worked each and every day. However I disagree with Newman's sentiments. Now, granted I am not behind the wheel of one of these machines, but I believe NASCAR just needs to be careful of overreacting to this incident in the name of safety.
In 2000, when Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin were killed at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, NASCAR implemented the use of restrictor plates on the one-mile track in an effort to prevent any more tragic incidents. The result was a terrible race in which there was not a single pass for the lead.
What NASCAR needs to ensure is there is not a knee-jerk reaction to all the media outcries following Sunday's event. Action certainly needs to be taken in terms of keeping the cars on the ground and ensuring the durability of the windshields, but there is a fine line between reacting and overreacting.

Maine Times Profiles NASCAR Driver Ricky Craven
PORTLAND, ME AUGUST 21, 2003 โ€" Article Chronicles the Ascent of One of Maine's Favorite Sons in the Racing World
In its September issue, Maine Times looks at how one small-town Mainer made it to the big ovals of Winston Cup, just like he said he would.
Ricky Craven always knew where he belonged. Like so many Maine kids, before and after him, he was drawn to the rumble and roar of auto racing at a young age. The first time he tooled around old Unity Raceway, he drove a borrowed car faster than its owner could. He was quick, instinctive, and focused, winning his first track championship at 17. He had potential. He had support. He had a well-defined goal and was determined to get it done.
For the next 13 racing seasons, Craven capitalized on his potential like no other Maine driver, steadily climbing the racing mountain. In early 1997, Craven was near the summit, part of the best team in the best stock-car racing circuit in the world. The skinny kid from Newburgh was trading Budweiser-sponsored red paint with Winston Cup legends named Earnhardt, Wallace, Martin, and Gordon.
But then hard times fell upon him, marked by crashes and injuries. After the Hendrick Motorsports team left him unsigned in 1999, he worked with lesser-known outfits and things got worse. "My attitude had gotten pretty bad, and the thing was, the sport continues on without you, and you think, โ€˜This can't happen, this is what I've worked my whole life for,'" Craven comments.
But after some soul-searching and prioritizing, he's made a formidable comeback over the past few years. Craven was 21st in points in 2001, 15th in 2002, and stood 17th after 19 races in 2003. And the future looks bright. Craven, now 37, and the Tide sponsorship are under contract with PPI Motorsports through 2004. The team holds an option for 2005, and talks have begun for that season as well as 2006.
In spite of his ups, downs, and recent reacquired success, he's showed no signs of forgetting where he came from. "This job has allowed me to travel all over. I've never found a place like the coast of Maine," says Craven. "It intrigues me and it's sort of like a magnet. A gravitational force. I always find my way back to Maine."

NASCAR Craftsman Truck and IPOWER DASH Series Represented in New Jersey - Ricky Gonzalez Spreads the Excitement
Ledgewood, NJ April 7, 2004 -- In Ledgewood, New Jersey, people were gathering in flocks to see the Ledgewood Mall Racing Spectacular. The event, sponsored by DARE, was held March 13 and 14. Sixty-five racecars were entered into the event. Local IPOWER DASH Series driver Ricky Gonzalez was one of them.
Gonzalez entered his car into the full bodied class which in return, much to his excitement garnered him a third place trophy over all.
Not to forget his roots, Gonzalez named his car โ€œBoriquaโ€, which means you are from Puerto Rico. โ€œThe Hispanic fans really went crazy. We signed 300 hero cards at the show. It was a wonderful weekend,โ€ Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez is no rookie when it comes to racing. He knows that traveling from race to race in order to compete is part of the job. He plans to take his prize-winning car to Hickory, along with many other DASH Series drivers and teams, to test in preparation for the upcoming April 10 race at Hickory Motor Speedway.
โ€œTraveling is a difficult part of my racing. The closest race is about eight hours away. Most of the races are much further. I've been racing in touring divisions for the past five years, so traveling is just part of the deal.โ€
When asked about a potential DASH race near his home area Gonzalez's interest peaked. โ€œI would love to see the DASH cars in New Jersey. I think there are a lot of fans that would really enjoy our style of racing.โ€
Gonzalez is not just a racecar driver though. He has a graphics company, plus he has played as a professional musician for close to 10 years. Nevertheless, make no mistake, this entrepreneur/musician knows where his biggest passion lies, and it is within racing. โ€œThe competition and speed attract me to race, plus I love the interaction with all the fans.
Gonzalez is carving his own path when it comes to racing. You can see him racing in the IPOWER DASH Series, and he is slated to run at Martinsville in the upcoming NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Kroger 250. Tune in to find out more about Ricky Gonzalez as the season progresses!

Nascar Driver David Ragan To Educate Teens On Safe Driving
As a part of AAA Foundation's campaign to reduce vehicle accidents involving teen drivers ages 15 to 20, David Ragan, one of the youngest drivers in NASCAR is working in conjunction with AAA to educate teen drivers about the significance of safe driving as well as car maintenance inspection. During the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series last February, David Ragan, aged 21 finished the race obtaining the 5th spot.
David Ragan will travel in schools and other institutions across the United States to speak with youngsters and discuss the safety measures and maintenance check tips for their vehicles. Ragan will also share his safe driving techniques and demonstrate them. In fact, Ragan has already visited some high schools in Daytona Beach and in Las Vegas and performed some demo.
According to David Ragan, driver of the No. 6 AAA Ford Fusion in the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series: "I know the challenges young drivers face. There are a lot of temptations and distractions that can cause inexperienced drivers to loose focus. Managing the driving environment and anticipating what can happen on the road is as important for teen drivers as it is for professional race car drivers. Part of the process is being mentally prepared to drive, buckling up and thinking about the conditions under which you will be driving. It also has to do with not allowing your attention to wander from the road, anticipate turns, change lanes or know when to slow down or speed up. AAA has training materials that can help teens master these skills and become safer drivers at AAA.com."
"In racing, we rely on trained professionals to prepare and maintain our vehicles. Teens also need to have their vehicles inspected and maintained by qualified technicians. Many young people start by driving older cars and trucks with a lot of miles on them. They need to have brakes, steering components and suspensions checked. Tires, lights, fluid lines and other items that can wear out need attention too. That's something AAA's Approved Auto Repair program can help them with. By driving for AAA and its 50 million members this year - and taking the opportunities they are providing to speak with teen drivers - I'm hoping I can shorten the learning curve and improve the margin of safety for people not much younger than myself." he continued.
Meanwhile, according to a research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are mote than 300,000 teens aged 15 to 20 are injured in car crashes every year and nearly 8,000 are involved in fatal crashes. NHTSA also said that more than 3,500 teens are killed in these car crashes each year. Moreover, NHTSA also said that young drivers "are more likely to speed, run red lights, make illegal turns, and die in SUV rollover." Teen drivers should get the Jeep Patriot SUV with quality Jeep thermostat and Side Occupant Protection System to avoid injuries during rollover crashes.
David Ragan will travel in schools and other institutions across the United States to speak with youngsters and discuss the safety measures and maintenance check tips for their vehicles. Ragan will also share his safe driving techniques and demonstrate them. In fact, Ragan has already visited some high schools in Daytona Beach and in Las Vegas and performed some demo.
According to David Ragan, driver of the No. 6 AAA Ford Fusion in the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series: "I know the challenges young drivers face. There are a lot of temptations and distractions that can cause inexperienced drivers to loose focus. Managing the driving environment and anticipating what can happen on the road is as important for teen drivers as it is for professional race car drivers. Part of the process is being mentally prepared to drive, buckling up and thinking about the conditions under which you will be driving. It also has to do with not allowing your attention to wander from the road, anticipate turns, change lanes or know when to slow down or speed up. AAA has training materials that can help teens master these skills and become safer drivers at AAA.com."
"In racing, we rely on trained professionals to prepare and maintain our vehicles. Teens also need to have their vehicles inspected and maintained by qualified technicians. Many young people start by driving older cars and trucks with a lot of miles on them. They need to have brakes, steering components and suspensions checked. Tires, lights, fluid lines and other items that can wear out need attention too. That's something AAA's Approved Auto Repair program can help them with. By driving for AAA and its 50 million members this year - and taking the opportunities they are providing to speak with teen drivers - I'm hoping I can shorten the learning curve and improve the margin of safety for people not much younger than myself." he continued.
Meanwhile, according to a research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are mote than 300,000 teens aged 15 to 20 are injured in car crashes every year and nearly 8,000 are involved in fatal crashes. NHTSA also said that more than 3,500 teens are killed in these car crashes each year. Moreover, NHTSA also said that young drivers "are more likely to speed, run red lights, make illegal turns, and die in SUV rollover." Teen drivers should get the Jeep Patriot SUV with quality Jeep thermostat and Side Occupant Protection System to avoid injuries during rollover crashes.

Its Las Vegas hotel rooms division โ€" the Las Vegas Reservation Bureau โ€" dates back to 1973, making it the oldest reservation service of its kind.

John Deere and NASCAR; Excellent Use of Brand
We should all recognize the marketing efforts of John Deere especially as we have spoken before with regards to their TOYS. They have a complete line of nearly every tractor or agricultural attachment they make available in small, micro size.
http://www.johndeeregifts.com/category-category_id/236946
By instilling brand name with kids they are creating a culture of future customers and brand name recognition. The reason I bring this up, since it is not a new issue is that these toys are on the shelves of Wal-Mart and they are really selling well, right up there with Match Box and Hot Wheels. Other smart companies are NASCAR and Harley Davidson, which also have many die cast products flowing off the shelves. And it makes sense all the way around. NASCAR is now following the Baseball Card idea for drivers and that is also a big hit, really big. I talked to a guy who was a wholesaler traveling the country stocking stores up on these kids cards as impulse items and the customers also cannot keep them in stock. NASCAR also has board games like Monopoly and penalties of the dice for pit stops, tire flats, crashes and the game is very fun to play and kids and dads really love it. Generally such toys are out of stock.
If you think about it here is one Brand Name signing up with another brand name to further both brand names, such synergy strategies is used also by our team. Very smart marketing that they do not seem to understand at the top American business schools and the Thesis Projects and Dissertations on the subject really are lacking and the HBR - Harvard Business Review has done a poor job of understanding these things. The doers are doing it and the academia is talking about something they do not even understand. Any reality based executive who has read almost every book on branding and discussed with branding executives and/or met people who have had family in the Toy Business who really did not understand how synergies work or which brands will work good together or why. NASCAR is so popular that the Republican National Committee ought to sponsor a car and driver. Just like they should be selling Die Cast Toys of Air Force One, the Presidential Tour Bus, Presidential Limo, Black Secret Service SUVs, Farm animals on the Ranch and action figures of the main players. Many NASCAR novelty and toy items are perpetually out of stock and you can ask anyone, why, because it has managed it's brand very well and it has crossed all areas and social self segregated segments; Rich and Poor, South and North, East and West Coasts. Good branding, very good. Dads like to buy toys they wish they had when they were young, but those toys did not exist yet. Hasbro has made an agreement with 29 NASCAR Drivers. Folks this is big business; but most of all it is smart branding and all of us should stand up and take notes.
John Deere is taking up lots of shelf space in Wal-Mart, quite incredible really. The number of toys is incredible including books and Play ground toys. Think of it. Amazon who sells books sells John Deere and NASCAR Toys and John Deere has developed books teaching kids about farming and life and hard work ethic, exactly what kids need to learn if they are to grow up raise a family, run their own farm take their kids to NASCAR events, hire the Car Wash Guys and eventually buy themselves a Harley Davidson. Let me know when all this starts making sense to you'all.
http://www.johndeerekids.com/
Kids and Brand Names go together, they always have and also realize that big corporations who wants to continue brand name and sell to the masses must never forget the kids whether they are established Brands and the Largest Corporations in their field. Think of McDonalds "Play Places' as well. Think about it.

Nascar Races: Hot Tips To Car Racing
What to Look For While Betting on NASCAR
Auto racing such as Formula One and other races such as the Indy 2000 are big hits internationally. Millions of fans crowd stadiums to watch the different cars race by. The screech of burning tires as they spin by you is an experience that very few forget.
NASCAR is one of the largest racing organizations in the USA. With millions of fans around the country, and some of the most expensive race cars and teams put together you can see how NASCAR and betting go together like peas in a pod. But today we are going to talk about the teams crews.
The great thing about NASCAR is that it is an individual sport and a team sport at the same time. So when we start talking about sports betting, or race betting, the options that we have are spread out and full of potential, although we are going to focus on the teams part today.
Now on any given day a NASCAR driver can come back from last place and win a long and tough race. Certain things must happen for a gambler to win his bet just like certain things must happen for a circumstance like this to take place. This is where the team comes into play.
Sports betting and betting on NASCAR is and around the clock job; the teams mechanics are working on the cars days in a row to get ready for the start time, changing fuel capacities, and tuning up the engines due to weather conditions as well as fitting the correct tires to the surface. A teams crew can make all the difference on race day whether that driver will win or lose. If the car is not running at full capacity due to some over looked object that needed tweaking, the driver may lose serious horsepower from his engine and lose valuable seconds here and there on the track.
Now again in NASCAR there is so much telemetry and science that go into these cars; that the teams will drive a car all the way to the finish line burning off fumes to maybe win the race, or have the race blown because the car ran out of fuel after the last turn. The amount of gas they carry in the car determines weight, how fast the car will move under certain conditions and for how long the car will travel without needing to refuel.
This is what can make betting on NASCAR races so interesting is the amount of variables and how they change minutely due to a change in air temperature or how the sun is beating down upon the asphalt or what wind speeds from which direction.
I hope that this article helps you understand better the ins and outs of car racing in general and NASCAR races in particular. If you are not a fan, try and visit one of the tracks while a race is in progress. It will astound you. If you wish to learn more about auto racing or about the NASCAR race circuit visit http://www.gambling-portal.com/auto-racing.html and have a ball.
