Here is a list of some of the standing stories you may find
useful, and what groups they appear in. Some groups contain
only standing stories, such as the clari.feature groups.
There are more standing stories than these, particularly in
the financial and sports groups. For example, in
clari.sports.baseball there is a story on each major league
game played each day. The same applies to the other sports
groups. To find out more about these stories, simply read
the groups and note the slugwords.
A number of other stories, particularly in the sports
groups, are seasonal. For example, around playoff time, you
will find regular features on the progress of any sports
playoff or series.
Some stories are not officially standing stories, yet they
come all the time. For example, you can be sure there will
be a story slugged clinton just about every day about Bill
Clinton.
Many of these features are daily. Weekly stock reports come
Friday evening. Music charts and other entertainment
statistics usually come Friday morning.
Below you will see a list of these stories, along with the
usual newsgroup for the story (with the "clari" prefix
removed), and the slugword for the story. Most local standing
stories are not included here.
