Abstract
A review of Haynes political work, which seeks to rectify deficiencies in the historiography of American anti-Communism. The paper points out that prior examinations have failed to accurately explain critical components of the opposition to Communism in the years after World War II. It shows how Haynes indicates that these works have misunderstood and incorrectly characterized the nature of anti-Communist activity. The paper specifies Haynes's four principal shortcomings in earlier depictions and explains them.
From the Paper
"First, he asserts, many histories do not adequately establish the connection between the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) and the espionage activities of the Soviet Union. Second, previous analyses have not described the significant links between pre-World War II antifascism and postwar anticommunism. Next, he charges, the accounts routinely fail to demonstrate the scope and diversity of sentiment against communism. Finally, prior works typically portray anticommunism as senseless and inscrutable. ?To make American anticommunism in the 1940s and 1950s historically explicable,? he writes, ?is the purpose of this book? (vii)."

Abstract
The paper looks at "The Red Convertible" by Louise Edrich that depicts how the Lamartine family, especially the two brothers, deal with the older brother's return from Vietnam. The paper discusses how the altered family dynamics are shown by the symbol of the red convertible and how this symbol changes throughout the story.
From the Paper
"The story presents the struggles of two brothers to cope with their changing relationship, as well as the changes taking places in the post-Vietnam world. In fact, the relationship between the two brothers is used as a direct parallel of the post-war situation in the sense that their story is a symbol of the difficulties and readjustments that many Vietnam veterans and their families were faced with after the war. The theme of brotherhood is central to the plot. The story is told from Lyman's point of view which means the reader has no direct insight into Lyman's brother's thoughts."

From the Paper
"The Bell Curve, by Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein, has proven to be one of the most controversial books of the decade. A detailed examination of intelligence scores, including analyses across class, gender, and (most controversially) race, The Bell Curve has been a magnet for criticism ever since its publication. The most valid criticisms of the work took the authors to task for committing methodological errors, primarily that of crossing levels of analysis (intelligence tests are individual level measures, yet the authors often treated them as group level measures by aggregating scores and making group distinctions). However, few such critical articles were as reasoned as these, most criticisms on a political or social perspective, scorning the authors for an implied racism in their conclusions. Yet another, smaller, class of criticism examines the theoretical under.."

A Managerial Analysis of Red Hat, Inc., 2002.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the managerial model of Red Hat, Inc., the world's largest and most successful distributor of the open-source Linux operating system. The paper discusses issues such as the structure of Red Hat's management team (particularly its focus on global sales and marketing), the grass-roots approach adopted by Red Hat, a SWOT analysis of Red Hat's strengths and weaknesses, and the role of R&D in Red Hat's success. Red Hat's business model and its attempt to make a profit off of a free product is also examined.
From the Paper
"With all of today?s rapid advancements in technology, especially in computer-related products, one thing seems to remain constant. Ask any home or small-business computer user which operating system (OS) powers their PCs, and the answer is almost sure to be some version of Microsoft Windows. In fact, most PC users probably do not even know there is any alternative. Red Hat, Inc., of Raleigh, NC, is aiming to change all that. Red Hat is currently the largest distributor of the increasingly popular Linux operating system, a more user-friendly clone of the Unix platform, originally developed by programmer Linus Torvalds. Linux is based on the open-source software model, meaning that the code behind the software is available freely to the public and to programmers for constant alteration and rapid improvement. This model stands in stark contrast to the highly secret, proprietary monopoly created by Microsoft. Obviously, if Red Hat hopes to steal the market away from Microsoft and to make Linux a popular household name, its managers must develop a competitive strategy that will be effective enough to create nothing short of a revolution in the battle for the best operating system."

Abstract
This paper discusses Red Tide - the common name for the blooming of certain species of dinoflagellata that have a reddish pigment causing the water to appear to be red when the massive numbers of dinoflagellates accumulate. The paper examines the dangers of Red Tide to human beings in the form of nausea, skin irritation and weakened immune systems. It also shows that Red Tide can be fatal to marine life, especially marine mammals. Finally, the paper discusses the effects of Red Tide on the fishing industry and the various things which are being done to try and control it.
From the Paper
"Red tides have been completely unaffected by pollution, and finding a way to contain outbreaks has been a daunting task for scientists. Most recently, a Woods Hole scientist has been experimenting with using clay to smother the algae (Fairfield). This new method has helped protect the billion-dollar fishing industries in Japan and South Korea, and scientists are hoping it can protect the waters in the United States as well (Fairfield).
Until recently, the research has focused mainly on the toxins emitted, and the chemistry of the harmful blooms ? not on finding ways to control the blooms (Fairfield). While the United States isn?t a fishing economy per se, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimate that the U.S. will lose more that $1 billion over the next ten years because of the toxic algae (Fairfield)."

The American Red Cross, 2005.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, in 1881, Clara Barton proposed the establishment of the American Red Cross, based on the revolutionary model of the International Red Cross that was already operating in Europe, where the organization would not only assist military hospitals during times of war but also help during peacetime with disaster relief and health and safety education of the general public. The author points out that before World War I, the Red Cross mainly served to promote first aid, water safety and public health nursing programs in the United States; however, after the outbreak of war and the pandemic influenza outbreak, the size of the organization exploded from 107 local chapters in 1914 to 3,864 in 1918. The paper relates that the organization has evolved into an advocate of humanitarianism, even criticizing its own government although the Red Cross itself has not avoided its own scandals.
From the Paper
"The Red Cross is an organization that grew out of the suffering of the wars of the nineteenth century. In 1863, Henri Dunant, a Swiss businessman, published "A Memory of Solferino", a memoir about his time in the northern Italian battlefield of Solferino. The book dealt with how war affected the lives of both the combatants and civilians. This memoir inspired the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1864. This committee was lead by Jean-Henry Dunant, who would win the first Nobel Peach Prize in 1901 for founding the Red Cross. The first committee was made up of representatives from eleven countries. Their purpose was to lessen the suffering that came from war and they recommended that every country have its own committee that was endowed with enough influence to effectively cooperate in times of war with the hospital services of the battling armies."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "Red Azalea: Life and Love in China" by Anchee Min. According to this paper, the book is based on "Red Azalea" a film Anchee Min worked on at a film studio in China. This paper tells us that "Red Azalea" is the story of the "perfect" Chinese woman - a woman who was loyal to the Communist Party and its teachings above all else, and that the film "Red Azalea" was written by Chairman Mao's wife, Madame Mao (Jiang Ching).
From the Paper
"The film means different things to the characters that are touched by it. For Min, it represents hope and the ability to make a name and a career for herself, and it represents respect from those around her. It also represents her absence from Yan, who she loves, or at least thinks she loves. Min is touched by the story, but she is more impressed with what being a star will mean to her life and her family. However, because her dream of being a star does not come true, the film also represents the end of Min's dreams, or at least the end of her life with Yan and the beginning of a new life. Min writes, "In the dark I realized that it was a lion's den I had entered. The darkness silenced a roaring cry. The coldness of thoughts froze me. I could hear the sound of my dream's spine breaking" (Min 170). Her dream of happiness seems like it will never come true, but that is not how the story ends. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the rivalry between and stiff competition between the baseball teams from Boston and New York City, the Red Sox and the Yankees. It examines the root causes of this rivalry which dates back to 1920 when Harry Frazee, the ?unlucky? owner of Red Sox, sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $100,000 and never won a World Series again. This is now known as the Curse of the Bambino which has badly affected the Red Sox performance and fans are keenly awaiting a strong comeback 84 years after the team won its last major championship. It evaluates the games and decisions over the years since 1920, which have served as catalysts for this enduring rivalry and how Red Sox needs to get over this curse jinx if they truly want to beat Yankees and reduce the impact of this long and fierce rivalry.
From the Paper
"Since that fateful Bambino trade, New York Yankees has maintained its domination in the field of baseball. Not only do they play skillfully, they also have the right attitude towards the game. Apart from that they have the psychological edge over Red Sox that is backed by a wonderful record. A rivalry, which was initiated by Babe Ruth, was gave a enduring touch by other great players including Bucky Dent whose home run hit in 1978 occupies a major place in the successful history of Yankees."

From the Paper
"Dietrich Mateschitz originally came up with the idea for his energy beverage in 1984, after traveling to Asia and discovering the popularity of energy drinks in some areas (A new market, 2007). Mateschitz brought several samples back to Austria and after three long years developed his own version involving both medical research and scientific testing (Brunnen, 2007).
"It was "this period (that) saw the birth of the product positioning 'Red Bull vitalizes body and mind' and the unique slogan 'Red Bull gives you wiings!'" (A new market, 2007). First launched in Austria, in 1992, it was then quickly rolled out throughout most of Europe. This was then followed by North and South America, Africa and then Australia. By 2002, more than one billion cans were being sold annually (Brunnen, 2007)"

Abstract
This document discusses Red Bull Energy Drink and how this product is being actively marketed through three marketing outlets: publicity, point of purchase, and television. According to this paper, their publicity method is closely associated with viral marketing principles for Red Bull and has been especially successful in establishing market buzz for Red Bull's product in all its markets.
From the Paper
"Red Bull energy drink has taken advantage of several innovative marketing techniques to keep it positioned within the growth phase of the product life cycle and product maturity is still many years off. Red Bull Energy Drink Red Bull is the world's largest energy drink company owning approximately 70% of that market, is privately owned, and has annual sales estimated in excess of $1 billion (Red, 2005). Since the company's main line of business is centered in one sector of the beverage industry, energy drinks, and almost exclusively confined to a single product, its flagship Red Bull Energy Drink, it must focus its current strategy on two key, inter-related areas: research and development (R&D) and marketing.

Abstract
This paper examines "The Red Convertible", a story of two Native American brothers, Henry and Lyman, both of whom share a deep bond and a very close relationship before things start falling apart. It looks at how, in the story, the most important object for interpretation is the red convertible. It analyzes how the color red also holds special significance and is used as a symbol of death and destruction and how it is extremely important to understand the significance of such things and symbols because they convey certain important messages and foreshadow the tragic ending of the story.
From the Paper
"Lyman and Henry are two brothers who develop a deep bond when they purchase a Red Convertible. It is important to remember that the story is written in first person, which means that we get to know more about Lyman and his emotions than we do about Henry. But the author has tried to offer a deeper insight into the character of Henry by means of the Red Convertible that he purchases. Throughout the story, the journey of the Red Convertible becomes the life story of Henry and everything that it represents is somehow associated with Henry and his changing condition. In the beginning when the two brothers first see the car, they fee, "Really as if it was alive. I thought of the word repose, because the car wasn?t simply stopped, parked, or whatever. That car reposed, calm and gleaming?(144). This is exactly the condition or mental state of Henry who is calm and happy and is delighted to see this car."

Volunteers go through the interview process and evaluation process just as a paid employee does. Volunteers are also subject to the same disciplinary action and termination action if necessary."
