Doug Sombke, the president of the South Dakota Farmers Union, said he's been contacted by both Johnson and Herseth Sandlin supporters. The two camps, he added, are not talking to each other.
"In general, this draft campaign is New Balance 574 Pink And Blue
Casey has set up a webpage for people to sign their names to a petition urging Johnson to run for Senate. He's also emailed and called Democrats around the state, asking legislators and party officials like Perpich to support Johnson becoming a candidate. When they do, Casey sends out news releases announcing the endorsements.
"I couldn't even comment on who he's talking to directly," Casey said.
that potential endorsers have endorsed another candidate," said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report. "To the extent that Johnson's folks can get people to say that 'if he runs, I'll endorse him,' at a certain point that becomes a potential problem for Herseth Sandlin, because then she starts behind the eight ball."
But so far only Johnson's supporters are active behind the scenes trying to bolster his potential candidacy.
Brendan to run," Casey said.
Experts said Casey's efforts probably won't have a huge impact on the race, but could possibly discourage Herseth Sandlin from entering the race if he sews up enough support.
open source and people can help out however they want," Casey said.
Johnson backers more aggressive than Herseth Sandlin's
Other South Dakota Democratic activists and officials say they've had no contact from anyone urging support for Herseth Sandlin.
Johnson's thinking is less clear. Attorney, which has limitations on political activity.
"My last conversation with Stephanie she just said she's not ready to make a decision," said Judy Duhamel, a Rapid City resident who formerly chaired the South Dakota Democratic Party. That discussion happened about three weeks ago, Duhamel said. Personal factors are weighing against a run, including a new job at Raven Industries in Sioux Falls, a new home here, and a four year old son.
"At this point, he's the only candidate I've heard about," Perpich said about Johnson. "I hadn't New Balance Ronnie Fieg 998 considered Stephanie Herseth Sandlin because I had not read or heard her name mentioned in terms of a candidacy."
Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University, said the most likely outcome of draft campaigns is minimal.
"I've seen candidates wait so long to make a decision New Balance 574 Black And Green
"Nobody's really approached me on her behalf," said Jason Frerichs, the Democratic leader in the state senate who did hear from the "Draft Brendan" movement despite being a Herseth Sandlin supporter.
"She's loving her job and loving living in South Dakota and enjoying the time with her son," Duhamel said. "She has really heavy decisions to make."
"This strikes me as a very small handful of activists who are trying to give a perception that something's actually happening," he said. "Let's wait until people actually announce."
"When Tim (Johnson) did go ahead and announce his retirement, a lot of us wanted to waste no time and urge New Balance 574 Green & Light Grey Suede Trainers
That reflects an organized effort by Casey and other people behind the "Draft Brendan" page.
The other primary organizers behind "Draft Brendan" include nine activists and officials who signed their name to a letter urging him to run. Others have supported the movement without signing their names Casey said one man has paid for ads promoting Johnson on Facebook, but may not be "ready to have his name publicly among those of us urging Brendan to run."
There's no Ryan Casey equivalent in Herseth Sandlin's camp, though she does have supporters making some efforts. Someone has set up a Facebook page called "Run Stephanie" and posted messages and links there encouraging Herseth Sandlin to run, but the manager of that page didn't respond to a message from the Argus Leader.
Casey said he hasn't "spoken directly with Brendan" about the draft movement, but can't speak for anyone else involved in the movement.
Herseth Sandlin didn't return a message seeking her comment, but a longtime friend said she has been genuinely uncertain about whether to run for Senate.
Senate. Attorney Brendan Johnson, to run for the same position. Senate!" Perpich wrote in a statement released by supporters of Johnson's candidacy. "He's got everything going for him!"
But some party activists are hoping to prod Johnson into the race. One, Lincoln County Democratic Party chair Ryan Casey, is spearheading a "Draft Brendan Johnson" movement.
Johnson and Herseth Sandlin are widely seen as the two most likely Democrats to run for Senate in the aftermath of Sen. Tim Johnson's retirement. Sen. Tim Johnson, whose retirement has created an open Senate seat for the two Democrats to consider.
"From my standpoint it's been about trying to galvanize fellow Democrats, fellow progressives," said Casey. "If or when he does run, he could hit the ground running right out of the gate and be strong as a candidate."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – UMBC track and field seniors Deborah Adelola (Lanham, Md./Bladensburg) and Kirsten McGovern (Sykesville, Md./Century), as well as junior Eric Schuler (Columbia, Md./Reservoir), have been named to the 2014 America East Outdoor Track and Field All-Academic Team, the conference office announced on Tuesday morning.
Adelola was also named to the conference Indoor Track and Field Team back in March, while McGovern and Schuler both received the honor back in the fall for the cross country season.
After a solid indoor campaign, Adelola recorded her best season as a Retriever this spring, notching career-best marks and winning her first individual America East gold medal. At the 2014 championship meet at Vermont, the senior raced past the field in the 400m dash with a personal-best time of 55.84 to claim the gold medal and jump to second in the UMBC record book. She also anchored the 4x400 relay team to a gold medal at the America East Championships after running the anchor leg for the school record-breaking 4x200 Retriever team at the prestigious Penn Relays.
In the classroom, Adelola completed her time at UMBC with steady success. Prior to graduating, she posted a 3.40 grade-point-average (GPA) while studying for a degree in psychology. She was named to the Dean's List four times in her academic career and was twice named to the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll.
McGovern earns her second All-Academic award of her senior year after registering career-best runs at the conference championships and achieving highly in the classroom. In Vermont, McGovern finished the 10,000m run with a time of 37:27.37, the fourth-best time in UMBC history. She also competed in the 5,000m event during the outdoor season, placing second at the Morgan State Legacy Meet with a time of 18:15.98.
In her academic pursuits, McGovern recorded a 3.96 GPA while working towards a degree in environmental science. In addition, she has been earning a minor degree in linguistics, as well as an honors college certificate. McGovern has twice been named to the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll for track and field and her selection to the All-Academic Team in the fall for cross country was her second such distinction. Prior to the Spring 2014 semester, she had been named to the President's List at UMBC five times for accumulating a perfect 4.0 semester GPA, while also receiving a spot on the Dean's List once.
Schuler not only was named to the All-Academic Team in the fall, but was selected as the America East Men's Cross Country Scholar-Athlete. He continued his success in the spring while competing in the distance events for the Retrievers. The junior ran in the 10,000m race at the America East Championships after posting a season-best 5k time of 15:12.28 at the Colonial Relays at William and Mary.
Heading into the spring semester, Schuler has maintained a spotless 4.0 GPA while pursuing a degree in computer science at UMBC. He has received a spot on the President's List in each of his seven semesters on campus as a result of his work. In addition, he has gained a spot on the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll in each of his first two years with the Retriever track and field team.

Centrally located Salt Lake condo
Country Club Village 6 is the new kid on the block. Built in 2008, it's the newest condominium in Salt Lake. With 71 percent owner-occupancy, it's clearly a comfortable place to call home.
This two-bedroom, one-bath corner unit, perched on the 14th floor, is well kept and offers views of the golf course and mountains, something the current owner, who is moving back to Maui for an employment opportunity, really enjoyed. That, and the trade winds. Says realtor Tom Presler of Prudential Locations LLC., the owner "rarely had to turn on the air conditioner."
The open-design kitchen features lots of counter and storage space. It joins with a spacious living room that opens onto a lanai. While the appliances are original, the current owner wasn't exactly a gourmet in the kitchen, so they are all like new. There's also a stacked washer/dryer in the unit.
One of the neat things that sets this unit apart is its lack of the ubiquitous, fragile "popcorn" ceiling found in so many condos on Oahu. The ceilings and the walls have been redone with a smooth finish.
The building's solid concrete construction keeps things quiet. You won't hear the neighbors and no worries if you're belting out the karaoke hits.
Pets are allowed, but you've got to keep Spot svelte – there's a 20-pound weight limit.
The building's well maintained common areas include a barbecue area with picnic tables, a large pool, a designated dog park (bags provided), walking trails and a recreation center where you can throw parties.
The unit comes with two covered unassigned parking stalls, which means if your car is full of groceries and you see an empty spot close to the door, you can grab it. In addition, residents who don't use their stalls can offer up their spaces for rent. On top of that, there's a ton of guest parking (28 spaces!). Get ready to host your friends.
You can check out the open house this Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. (Click here for details.)

Environmental groups and elected officials opposed to hydraulic fracturing urged the...
Environmental groups and elected officials opposed to hydraulic fracturing urged the state today to expand its health review of the controversial drilling technique.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation last week filed for a 90-day extension on a Nov. 29 deadline for its hydrofracking regulations. In mid-November, the state tapped three health experts to review the regulations for any public health impacts, and the state said the regulations wouldn't go forward until the health review is completed.
Critics, however, said Monday that the health review needs further transparency and public input.
"We're appalled at the way this process has gone forward," Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan said at a news conference at the Capitol. "The most important part of this whole thing is the public health, and it's almost like it's an afterthought."
The group called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to provide information about the details of the health review, being overseen by the state Health Department and its commissioner, Dr. Nirav Shah. They want a 30-day public comment period of the health review and its scope to be expanded.
"The public has no idea how the review is being undertaken and has never been afforded an opportunity to review and comment on it," said Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton, D-Ithaca. "The time allocated for the review is ludicrously short and obviously inadequate."

Jeffco board gets an earful
Heavyweights from Jefferson County's business, government and community scolded board member Laura Boggs at a recent board meeting for behavior and comments they say have damaged the district
Boggs, elected in November to represent the mountain community, has been a lightning rod for controversy over the past months. She has been criticized for suggesting boundary changes for Conifer and Evergreen high schools, adding Wheat Ridge Middle School to a closure list at the last minute and suggesting no principal should be hired if he or she has small children.
"That is of grave concern (because) the suggestion is illegal and it does open the district up for lawsuits," said former state Sen. Norma Anderson, who appeared before the board on June 3 with others from Jefferson County community.
"We've grown increasingly concerned with this board's pattern of behavior over the past several months," said Hereford Percy, former Jeffco board member.
Community member Phyllis Albritton said Boggs should be publicly censured for her actions, which allegedly included interrupting a lesson at Green Mountain High School to link the words "Stupid" and "School".
"I would not be here today if any of these incidents were isolated in scope," said Albritton, saying Boggs' pattern of behavior doesn't fit with board norms or goals. "She has embarrassed the board and district by her behavior."
Boggs, reached for comment, said she is forbidden by board norms from talking to the press.

Portland State University and Wells Fargo are partnering to present a new competition to help improve the way the world operates in a resource-constrained environment. PSU students and faculty are invited to test out their innovative concepts in the PSU-Wells Fargo Cleantech Challenge, which will offer $50,000 in cash to help innovation teams at the university bring their ideas to market.
From now until May 10, the Cleantech Challenge will accept submissions from PSU teams working on products, processes or services that have a positive impact on the environment — anything from green consumer products to high-tech manufacturing improvements.
Up to six semi-finalists will be announced in late May. Semi-finalists will be awarded a $5,000 development grant to move their concepts into the prototype stage. In September, the semi-finalists will present their projects to a panel of judges from around the region.
The results will be showcased, with announcement of the winning team at the Oregon BEST FEST, the annual conference put on by the Oregon Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Center. The winning team will receive the grand prize of $25,000 and the chance to meet with potential investors, a membership position in the PSU Business Accelerator and other professional services.
"This competition provides an opportunity for students to not only showcase their innovative ideas, but, thanks to Wells Fargo, it will also give them the seed money to develop them into real world products to solve real world problems," said PSU President Wim Wiewel.
The contest builds on Portland's and on Oregon's commitment to driving a clean economy that benefits from innovation and sets an example for other regions to follow. Following a successful launch of the competition at PSU, organizers hope to expand the competition across Oregon University System schools.
"This is one of many cleantech competitions that Wells Fargo is sponsoring at universities and think tanks across the nation," said Regional President Don Pearson of Portland. "We recognize that our environmental impact goes beyond how we operate. As a financial services company, we feel we can influence positive change by strengthening our environmental leadership and by partnering with PSU on this great project."

UK33 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Uncoded template for a new employment service company
Looking for a fresh approach?
Desired Color Scheme:
Blue and white
Desired Style:
clear, professional, bold, easy to use, read and navigate. An image that portrays a very professional company.
Accepted File Formats:
My client is looking for a cool, crisp, professional design for their new website. They have a basic template design which can be seen at http://www.ice-blue.co.uk. They want to keep the website clear and easy to use with a real touch of quality/professionalism.
The home page is the one to concentrate on for the time being. It neeeds to have a cool/ice feel to it as it is at the moment. The present "ice cube" image is liked very much by my client and so if you have access to shutterstock.com then this would be advantageous, alternatively used other images of "ice". This page will contain bullet points on the right hand side but it is not known exactly how many yet so keep this in mind when designing as more might be required and added later.
All pages will require a footer as well with copyright/company information/address/contact information etc.
Other pages will basically be text but a calendar grid and a couple of tables will be needed within the "contractors login" section. A sample layout can be seen on the present site but this is only to give a very rough idea of what will be required. Further details will be given shortly but this section will require very little additional design work.
A contact page will also be required with a contact form.
No prize will be given for a logo but if you design a good one it will be looked upon favourably within the design and MAY also be purchased after the contest ends.
My client is looking to get the site up and running as soon as possible and so we reserve the right end the contest before the deadline if some provides a design with that WOW factor - so get your entries in quickly!
Keep the colour scheme blues and white but the layout/design does not have to be exactly how it is now. Please feel free to submit your own ideas.

Can Men And Women Be Friends?
On member station WNYC's RelationShow, Faith Salie and Mario Correa delve into the psychology of modern romance. They turn to science - and sometimes, to each other - to help unravel the mysteries of love and connection, like this one:
MARIO CORREA: Do you believe that men and women can be just friends?
MARTIN: This question was put to college students at Utah State in a YouTube video, viewed nearly 7 million times. You may notice a pattern in the answers.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: That's no.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: No way.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: No.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #4: I don't believe so, no.
MARTIN: OK. So, you get the picture. Women said yes, men said no. And according to Mario Correa and Faith Salie, it's those skeptical men who may well be right. Hi guys.
FAITH SALIE: Hey, Rachel.
CORREA: Hey there, Rachel.
MARTIN: OK. So, you two - this is actually a topic that I've discussed quite a bit with friends and family, for some reason. And I have to say that based on my very rudimentary research, I do not think that it's truly possible for men and women to be just friends. I mean, you two have managed to do it, but I suppose that's a little different.
SALIE: Yeah, yeah, the gay-straight thing, you know, sure makes it easier.
CORREA: Although Faith totally checks me out still even today, so.
SALIE: Yes, Mario, I like what you've done with your chest hair for summer.
MARTIN: OK. So all of that aside, you two have been digging into the science of straight, opposite-sex friendships, right?
CORREA: Yeah. We basically wanted to find out why men and women view their opposite-sex friends differently. You know, like, why platonic relationships are fraught with sexual tension and unexpressed feelings and, you know, all that good stuff.
SALIE: So we spoke to Dr. April Bleske-Rechek, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin. And she's just published the results of two studies that examined real-life male-female friendships, and found out what these men and women were really thinking.
DR. APRIL BLESKE-RECHECK: The men reported more attraction to their friend than the women did. And the men also overestimated how attracted their friends were to them.
CORREA: Even though these pairs were supposedly just friends, right, the man was more likely to see the woman as more than a friend.
SALIE: And in many cases, even if the woman in the pair was not attracted to the guy, the guy assumed she was. So...
MARTIN: Of course he did.
SALIE: Yeah.
CORREA: Surprise, surprise.
BLESKE-RECHECK: And then the most interesting thing for me was that men who are single or involved, don't differ in how attracted they are to their female friends, whereas women do. So if women are already involved, or their friend is involved, they seem to be off-limits. And men don't experience that.
MARTIN: But why is this happening? I mean, why do men in these friendships have these feelings that the women don't? And why do the men think that their female friend is attracted to them, even if it's clearly the farthest thing from her mind?
SALIE: Yeah, that's what we asked Dr. Bleske-Rechek.
BLESKE-RECHECK: I think that men have a stronger evolved sexual strategy for engaging in sexual opportunities. I think that over evolutionary history, men who had - who received subtle signals or ambiguous signals of sexual interest, needed to act on them because if they didn't, they would have been out-reproduced by men who did.
CORREA: So in other words, it's basically evolution. Because you got to remember that platonic relationships are still like a basically novel concept in the history of mankind, right? So, what Bleske-Rechek is saying is that today, men are still acting out on those impulses to express attraction, you know, to reproduce, even though they're engaged in friendships.
SALIE: Yeah, and Bleske-Rechek says that the fact that women don't act on that impulse quite as often doesn't mean they don't feel that attraction. It may just be an unconscious choice on our part - or even, unwittingly, a coy strategy.
BLESKE-RECHECK: It's quite possible that for women, actually not being aware of attraction to a cross-sex friend, or not expressing it, could actually be to their advantage. So women may send subtle signals without even realizing it, that could kind of lead men on and proffer protection and benefits.
MARTIN: Hmm. We're so complex, Faith. So women may well have these feelings, but we're not expressing them?
CORREA: Or at least, you're not expressing them consciously. But you may be doing unconscious things, like some guy's chores. Meet Vanessa and Josh. They've been friends for over a decade.
JOSH: Crush? Did you have a crush on me?
VANESSA: No, it wasn't a crush, but there was about a two-week period where I did think maybe I had feelings for Josh. And it all started because I did his laundry for him, at one point, in college. I don't remember why I did your laundry for you. Looking back, someone said to me, like, why did you do his laundry for him? Like, you must have feelings for him. And I just went into this whole spin - like, maybe I do have feelings for Josh. And that ended with you sleeping with my best friend.
JOSH: Second-best friend.
VANESSA: Yeah, my second-best friend. So that was the end of that two-week period, and I've never thought about it since.
MARTIN: I love that it's the second-best friend.
CORREA: Imagine what would have happened if he'd slept with the best friend. Yeah, yeah.
MARTIN: OK. So, the moral of the story is - I guess it's just really complicated.
SALIE: Yeah, it is. And - and it's all evolution's fault.
MARTIN: Blame it on evolution. Blame it on biology. We will leave it at that. But I can't let you two go without saying congratulations to Faith. You have entered into one of the most deeply emotional relationships ever. You had a brand-new baby boy a couple of weeks ago, so congrats.
SALIE: I did. Thank you. I'm about cry. And Rachel, you are about to join the club. Congratulations to you.
MARTIN: Thank you so much.
CORREA: So exciting.
MARTIN: The club of motherhood. I am actually due today, so could be an interesting day. I'll be taking a break from the air for just a few weeks - hopefully, a little bit longer than you did, Faith.
SALIE: Oh, trust me, I am going right back to bed.
CORREA: I am too, actually. Can I do that, too?
MARTIN: Sure. Mario Correa and Faith Salie co-host RelationShow on member station WNYC. You can follow them on Twitter @RelationShow, or learn more about them at RelationShow.org. Thanks, you guys.
SALIE: Thanks, Rachel.
CORREA: Thanks, Rachel.

Sydney, Australia - July 31, 2013
Webroot, a leader in cloud-based security intelligence solutions, today announced record sales growth in Australia and New Zealand during its 2013 fiscal year operations which ended June 30, 2013. The company introduced its portfolio of cloud-based security services for businesses in early 2012 and is focusing significant efforts on growth in the Australian and New Zealand markets.
Significant Growth in Australia and New Zealand
Webroot's sales in the Australia and New Zealand markets grew an astounding 591 percent year-over-year, with significant growth in channel sales activity. Webroot's success in the region was driven largely by accelerated adoption of its Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business solutions, and a rapidly expanding channel and partner network.
Click to tweet: Webroot accelerates growth in Australia and New Zealand http://bit.ly/14DaSm5.
"We're very pleased with the results from the region in the last fiscal year. It's clear businesses are looking for a better solution to help them combat the highly-complex online threats they now face, and Webroot's cloud-based security-as-a-service solutions provide better protection and reduced complexity, " said Crispin Kerr, Webroot Managing Director of the Asia Pacific region. "We attribute the success from the past year to our people, our products and our partners. We are continuing to invest in all three areas, so we believe we are also well positioned for continued growth."
Partnerships Drove Expansion in FY2013
Throughout the fiscal year, Webroot secured a number of channel partnerships to rapidly expand delivery of its security services and technologies. Recent announcements include an alliance with Sydney-based Vadis Systems as a key distributor for SecureAnywhere solutions, and a new partnership with Queensland-based managed service provider (MSP) Xari Group, to provide Webroot malware protection in conjunction with the LabTech remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform for a complete cloud-based managed antivirus solution.
In addition to the recent partnerships, Webroot achieved significant growth within the MSP segment throughout the year, closing 350 separate deals in the region during fiscal 2013. Managed Service Providers (MSPS) are rapidly standardising on Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business – Endpoint Protection to protect their clients and more efficiently provide remote security management and administration. Among the most prominent developments in this growing customer segment was Webroot's four-year global agreement with Sydney-based Anittel, one of the world's largest MSPs, to deploy Webroot's protection to 10,000 customer endpoints.
"After an extensive review of the majority of anti-malware products available on the market, Anittel chose Webroot for its revolutionary 'no definition' update model, its small install and scanning footprint, and its excellent detection and remediation abilities," commented Rob Pickering, Chief Technology Officer at Anittel. "We expect that the deployment of this will save significant amounts of our staff's time and lead our customers to have a much better managed antivirus experience than our previous solution."
Local Growth Mirrors Global Success
Webroot also recently announced its global results for the fiscal year, in which it attained the top market-share position in the U.S. retail security software category, surpassed one million users of its mobile security solutions, and added thousands of new business customers worldwide.
Expansion of its channel and partner network will continue to be a key area of focus in the coming year, and Webroot advises organisations interested in partnering to contact them at email@example.com or visit webroot.com/partners.

A small airplane was struck by three vehicles after making an emergency landing on a Santa Barbara freeway.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the Piper PA-24 Comanche with two people on board was bound for Santa Barbara Airport Sunday when it experienced some sort of problem and landed on the southbound side of U.S. Highway 101 about one mile northeast of the airport.
California Highway Patrol Officer James Richards says three cars were unable to avoid the plane and crashed into it.
One photograph from the scene shows a white SUV rear ended the plane. The pilot is photographed in another picture opening the front of the plane as if he is checking under the hood of a car.
U.S. & World
The occupants of the plane and the cars were not hurt.
Richards says traffic backed up for miles while crews shut down the freeway to remove the plane.
Gregor says the FAA is investigating the incident.

Google's new etiquette guidelines highlights the ongoing debate around privacy and their technology.
So it has come to this: this week, Google posted some Dos and Don'ts for its wearable tech, Google Glass. The etiquette guidelines, and the fact that Google felt the need to make them explicit, highlight the ongoing debate around privacy and their technology.
The Dos start off simply enough: have fun with it, lock your device, be an active member of the pilot program. They also include the advice to "Ask for permission."
Ask for permission. Standing alone in the corner of a room staring at people while recording them through Glass is not going to win you any friends (see Don'ts #4). The Glass camera function is no different from a cell phone so behave as you would with your phone and ask permission before taking photos or videos of others.
That's a pretty good tip. It's admittedly not a rule that even people with cameraphones strictly adhere to, but with those it's pretty easy to tell when someone might be taking a picture. (Hint: they'll probably be holding their phone and pointing it at you or in your general direction.)
Google explained the privacy stuff further later in the guide, in the aforementioned Don'ts #4.
[Don't] Be creepy or rude (aka, a "Glasshole"). Respect others and if they have questions about Glass don't get snappy. Be polite and explain what Glass does and remember, a quick demo can go a long way. In places where cell phone cameras aren't allowed, the same rules will apply to Glass. If you're asked to turn your phone off, turn Glass off as well. Breaking the rules or being rude will not get businesses excited about Glass and will ruin it for other Explorers.

Taking Back the Agenda
As the traditional support systems for producing photo documentary projects - such as canvassing editorial commissions - are in decline, a different method of working is now emerging. This often combines internet platforms, print sales and even self financing publications. Rather than being daunted by these shifts, within Magnum a loose group of photographers have started working together to explore the many platforms currently available.
The first expedition into these new territories was initiated by Alec Soth, Jim Goldberg, and Susan Meiselas, as a result of a Magnum photographers' retreat where different ideas were bounced around and discussed, back in early 2011.
In a project entitled "Postcards from America", five photographers and a writer spent two weeks in May 2011 driving an RV from Austin, Texas, to Oakland, California, stopping off and exploring the towns they passed through. Images were posted on Tumblr and help was enlisted via the net to guide photographers around when they arrived in a strange town. A pop-up show was arranged as a climax, and eventually a remarkable boxed publication was produced. This contained a selection of different zines, small books and even posters.
For the next large-scale "Postcards from America" event – after Jim and Alessandra Sanguinetti had brought the RV back East on a trip through Utah – we decided to stay in one location as this would afford a better opportunity to connect with the area and dig beneath the surface. Central to this idea was the making of an archive of 1000 images, with each photographer contributing 100 pictures. Machine-printed, unsigned 10/8 inch prints will be housed in a beautiful, hand made box. This will be made in an edition of five. By pre-selling two of the boxes, promising a small set of prints to a supporter, and working collaboratively with local arts and educational institutions, we were able independently to fund the production of this project.
When a documentary project is undertaken, the normal aim is a tight edit of a set of photographs for exhibition. This means that many images with great documentary value are excluded. By enlarging the selection, the resulting living archive has more value and meaning for the community, especially in years to come. Not only does such an archive work locally, but it also gives a very potent snapshot of an American city, which of course has a wider significance.
We decided to shoot in Rochester, a city with a huge photographic legacy, led by the struggling Kodak. The city is also the home of Visual Studies Workshop, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and George Eastman House. All three of these institutions jumped at the chance to collaborate with our project. VSW was delighted to host the emerging pop up exhibition, in which photos were pinned up as they were taken. RIT gave each photographer four students to work alongside him or her. There was a team leader, co-ordinating the research, a driver, and a student in charge of production, processing files or films. RIT also contributed to the budget as all ten photographers did a talk to a packed auditorium at the university, and two photographers did individual lectures. The students learned a great deal from the exercise as they witnessed the pleasures and frustrations of shooting on a very intense project with highly motivated photographers. George Eastman House found the funds to commit to an archive box, meaning an archive of the project will remain in Rochester, and also hosted a book signing and panel discussion with the photographers.
The excitement and buzz of the whole project were electrifying. We all stayed in the same huge mansion opposite George Eastman House and evenings were spent (if not out shooting) comparing notes and processing files. We all met many different people and communities within the city and they willingly engaged with the photographers. Many attended the pop up show, to view or receive copies of the resulting photos. We also did a free studio event in them main market, on the first weekend, and the sitters picked up their photos a week later. We posted images on Tumblr and built up a good online audience as the project progressed.
In addition to the archive box, we have prepared a limited edition folio and a self-published "magazine" (the one you are now reading). These will be launched at Paris Photo 2012 and the funds raised will then be split between Magnum and the contributing photographers.
For the photographers, perhaps the most fulfilling aspect of the whole project was the fact that we retained complete control of our methods of working, where we went and what we photographed. We also controlled the many platforms that will allow the work to be disseminated to our different audiences.
This is an essential achievement, as often with a project of this scale we would have to find different partners and sponsors who would inevitably want to have a say in what is shot and how it is displayed. So as "Postcards from America" moves on to its next shooting venue, we will build on what has worked well and continue the search for exciting ways to work as documentary photographers.
One thing is for certain though: We will not be beholden to anyone but ourselves as we savour the huge variety of photographic styles that Magnum can offer and the many different ways to build and engage with our audiences.

People perceive holidays as a time when romance and passion can get out of control. Due to the natural excitement that arises when people travel, vacations can be a perfect opportunity to meet women if you are single. While it is unlikely that a holiday romance will become a long-term affair, traveling abroad is a perfect opportunity to escape from your comfort zone and experience something completely new in order to vary.
Method 01
Prepare the trip
Consider the place you will go on vacation. It goes without saying that some vacation destinations are better than others when it comes to meeting women. Keep in mind the place you go to if you are looking to meet women abroad and consider changing your choice of destination if that is important to you. If you can imagine a vacation place as an exciting and potentially romantic one, then there is a good chance that you can meet women there.
- For example, cruises are usually intended for committed couples, unless they mention that this is not the case. On the other hand, tropical resorts or festive cities attract single people en masse.
Travel on a singles cruise. While most cruises are intended for married couples, there are specific cruises that prioritize offering experiences for singles. Since most people will be single, a cruise like this will greatly increase your chances of getting to talk to a single woman.
- Possibly meeting someone on a cruise would be a romantic experience; however, due to the fact that cruises are regularly associated with couples, your best bet will be to travel on a singles cruise.
Search for vacation packages for singles. While the tourism industry conventionally develops around couples, families and groups, there are also vacation packages that are geared specifically for singles. Many of these packages involve resorts in which other singles could meet and have fun together. If you have a rough idea of a place you would like to go to, find out if the region in question has packages that fit your intention and situation.
Plan your vacation activities with the idea of meeting women in mind. While some people prefer to take it easy and rest while on vacation, there is almost always a good way to meet single women when you are traveling abroad. Once you have chosen a destination, look for attractions. The best place to meet women will be where there is enough energy and also alcohol. Clubs, bars and the beach are excellent places to start. Try to get away from the places that attract families.
Go on vacation with the right kind of people. The people you go on vacation with will have a significant impact on your experience abroad. The group will also have a considerable impact on your chances of meeting women. For example, going with your family will not improve your chances; However, going with a group of single buddies looking for the same will make it easier to find new opportunities during the holidays.
Method 02
Meeting women during the holidays
Fine-tune your social skills during the previous months. You will have greater chances of having successful appointments during the holidays if you plan them well in advance. Find out about the customs and social norms of the culture that you visit and work in your charism. While much of this is easier said than done, you can do it if you have the right degree of self-awareness. First go out and be sociable in your own area. Do not wait for the holidays to activate your charm.
- Do not bounce money with the so-called dating trainers and liaison artists. While some of the basic information may be useful, it is rarely worth the exorbitant fees that many trainers charge for their services.
Dress appropriately. Looking good is an important part of knowing and attracting women no matter where you are. While your clothing should be relatively casual and correspond to the holiday environment, you should emphasize the appearance above pure comfort.
- A collared shirt and dress shoes work well in most cases.
Keep busy Regardless, stay busy during your vacation. While some people take vacations as an opportunity to laze around, you will only have an authentic opportunity to meet new people when you are doing things actively. Check the weekly schedule of the tourist center where you stay. Read about the events that will unfold near where you are. If your resort has a bar or club, take a look and see what happens. Almost every event will give you the opportunity to meet women; therefore, take any opportunity that presents itself.
- Find out about the local parties. Parties involve an environment with plenty of energy that is perfect for meeting single women.
- Meeting women during the day will increase your chances as opposed to the night. Since many people will be relaxing during the day while on vacation, you will have more time to spend with a girl unlike what would happen if you kept your suggestions only for the night. Most of the boys only approach at night, which has the effect of increasing competition.
Act in a friendly way Above all, do not harm your chances of being sincerely friendly with people while on vacation. You must be honest and authentic. Even if a potential candidate does not share your zip code, it is likely that she may realize that you are false.
- This includes many smiles. Just make sure you do not look at a girl for too long because that will carry the risk of being seen as someone very scary.
Take something to share with others. If you are carrying something as simple as a pack of cigarettes or playing cards, you will have an adequate physical conversation. For example, if you have a decent idea of magic tricks using playing cards, you can approach a group of girls and ask them if they would like to see a trick. Some girls may even approach you for a cigarette if they see you smoking.
- Sunscreen is also useful as many people will need it if they spend too much time on the beach.
- While the advice is too common, you must be yourself every time you try to approach a woman. Even if it's a vacation in a distant place, you should not hide who you really are. Highlight your best aspects and make sure you do it right.
- Before the holidays, it does not hurt to get healthy and fit. While charm and charisma are almost impossible to pretend, proper health is a seemingly direct process. Looking good will also greatly increase your chances of success. Reduce empty calories, go to the gym a couple of times a week and reduce excess fat if you have gained a few extra kilos in order to lose them.
- Keep cultural differences in mind when you meet women abroad. Not all cultures share your customs or sense of humor, especially when it comes to romances. If you go to a place where women are probably from another culture, a good idea is to read about the social expectations of that culture before approaching a woman.

Water Consumption
Check out the Interior Healthy drinking water advisory map to search the entire Interior Health region (including Penticton and surrounding areas) for current drinking water advisories: drinkingwaterforeveryone.ca/advisorymap.
Tips to Avoid Unnecessary Consumption
1. Listen for running water - Find the main shut-off in your home and put your ear to the tap or pipe. - Do you hear a hissing sound? - If so, and all taps are off in your home, you may have a leak.
2. Use your water meter to detect leaks - Find the City water meter for your home (it may be inside by your main shut-off or in the ground, just outside your property line).
- (a) With all taps off, watch the red triangle on top of the water meter. If the triangle moves, this may suggest a leak.
- (b) You may wish to record the water meter numbers at the end of the day. In the morning, before any water is used again read the meter. If the reading has changed, this suggests water is being consumed or leaked somewhere.
- If you have an inside meter, the water could be leaking through a tap or toilet in your house.
- If the meter is outside your property line, the leak could be inside the house or underground - between the meter and your house.
3. Check water fixtures in your home.
- Are there any taps dripping in your home?
- Are any outside taps dripping on your house?
- Is there a toilet continually running? - Check the toilet bowl to see if water is trickling down at the back (faulty flapper). Alternatively, insert food colouring in toilet tank. Wait 15 mins. Should the colouring appear in the bowl, repair the leak immediately. And lastly, lift the tank lid and check to see if water level is up to the top of the overflow tube and wasting water (float adjustment may be required or perhaps a new assembly).
4. Check your Pressure Regulator Valve (Cone shaped with adjustable screw). These are set at the factory at 50-55 lbs. Use a gauge on an outside house tap (hose bib). If the outside tap is tee'd off before house regulator, you will get a reading showing the street pressure. If the outside tap is tee'd off after house regulator, it will show regulated house pressure. You then put the gauge on the cold water tap of a washing machine to find what your house pressure is inside the house. If pressure is above 55 lbs., homeowner should have regulator adjusted or replaced. This can help protect household fixtures and avoid overuse of water.

Sony PlayStation 3
It's arrived. Finally. Was it worth the wait?
Two variations have been promised: a 20GB model and 60GB version, though only the 60GB machine is available in Europe. One of the biggest features to draw attention to the PS3 is the inclusion of a Blu-ray Disc next-gen DVD player, allowing it to be fully utilised for the home cinema experience - though you'll need to use the HDMI port to make the most of it.
Inside, at the heart of the PS3, is the IBM co-designed Cell processor, running at around 3.2GHz. The Nvidia RSX graphics chip runs at 550MHz. A Wi-fi wireless network link is only available on the 60GB version, enabling not only internet access and on-line gaming but also allows a PSP to be connected to the device. There's a wired Ethernet port too.
So much for the spec sheet - what actually comes in the box when you part with 425 of your hard-earned pounds? The console comes with one wireless control pad and a USB cable to charge it up first. You also get a mains cable, AV connection lead and an Ethernet cable. Annoyingly, an HDMI cable is not supplied, so high definition games can't be enjoyed on an HD TV unless you remember to pick one up for around £18 more.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The selection of Livestrong Sporting Park as the venue for the 2013 MLS All-Star Game is a reward not only for the construction of the $200 million showcase stadium, but for the fans who have packed it since it opened in mid-2011.
So said MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Sporting Kansas City president Robb Heineman at Thursday's press conference to announce this summer's big event.
"This market has just been so incredibly exciting for all of us at Major League Soccer — and really for soccer fans throughout the United States and North America," Garber said. "This has been one of the great, great success stories for our sport. We're very proud of what's taken place here."
The promise of a special event was one incentive the league offered if the then-Wizards would build a soccer-specific stadium, Garber said afterward.
"You build it, and we'll come," he said. "Now, we're announcing that we are. We had a commitment to them that we would work to find a special event — not any one in particular. We didn't have this date in mind. It just turned out that this was the timing that made sense for them and made sense for the league."
The All-Star Game, set for July 31 against an opponent to be determined, follows on the heels of Major League Baseball's All-Star Game last year in Kansas City, Mo.
"With all due respect to ours, I'm not sure it'll be quite the pomp and circumstance that baseball had," Heineman said after the news conference. "But I think we'll do a heck of a job. That's what this ownership group is committed to doing — putting the best foot forward for Kansas City."
And while Garber gave a good deal of credit for to Sporting's owners and to local officials, Heineman said this year's All-Star award was not a gift from owners to fans.
"It's a present from the fans to me, frankly," Heineman said. "That's the way I look at it, because they're the reason that we get games like this. It's not because of us."
Thursday's announcement marks the latest in a series of special events awarded to LSP, which has already hosted men's World Cup and Olympic qualifying matches, group-stage action in the 2011 Gold Cup and US women's national team exhibition play.
"US Soccer looks to this building as one of the great locations and great markets for US national team games, both on the men's side and the women's side," Garber said. "I think you'll see more of those games in the years to come."

Saint Bavo of Ghent
- Allowin
- Bavon of Ghent
Belgian nobleman who spent a wild youth, noted for selfishness; known to have sold his servants as slaves to local noble houses. Married. Widower. Converted after hearing a sermon by Saint Amand of Maastricht. Built an abbey on his estate, called Saint Peter's in his day and Saint Bavo's today. He turned it over to Saint Amand, and became a monk in the house. He finally gave his estate to the house, his belongings to the poor, and lived as a recluse in a hollow tree and later a cell in the forest near the abbey.

Police find vehicle linked to fatal pedestrian hit-and-run
John Stewart, 52, killed Nov. 20 in Glen Burnie
Anne Arundel County police said they located the vehicle and possible person involved in a hit-and-run that killed a pedestrian in Glen Burnie last week.
Officers were called to Mountain Road near Jumpers Hole Road around 7:15 p.m. Nov. 20, where they found an injured pedestrian lying in the road. The victim, John Stewart, 52, of Glen Burnie, was taken to Shock Trauma, where he later died.
Witnesses told police that after a dark-colored van or SUV struck Stewart, the driver stopped but then fled the area without helping.
Investigators said they went to a home in the 8100 block of Lea Road in Pasadena on Tuesday morning and found the suspected vehicle in the driveway with visible damage consistent with evidence from the crash scene.
A few hours later, police said Donovan Bailey, 45, the vehicle's owner, called them and set up an interview. He was later released, but charges are pending.
Authorities said Stewart hadn't been in a crosswalk and failed to yield to oncoming traffic. The cause of the crash appeared to be pedestrian error.

They popped the question; you said "I do" and now you're engaged. You're now looking forward to getting married and settling down. However, when you say "I do," you're not just saying "I do" to that person, you're also saying "I do" to their finances — for better or worse. And the finances will dictate your ability to purchase a house.
Unfortunately, the American Dream of homeownership can easily be squashed if would-be buyers don't plan accordingly in their endeavor to buy a new home. n fact, the traditional practice of getting married, then settling down (or "nesting") might not always be the best tactic. Depending on your circumstances, you might be better off buying a home before you walk down the aisle. Here's when to consider doing just that.
What You Should Know Before Tying The Knot
The single most limiting factor is the debt of your future spouse. Let's say your spouse has student loans, credit cards, an auto loan and many other payment obligations. If you're buying a house, there's a good chance even if they are not on the loan, their debt obligations will be counted against your qualifying ratios, significantly reducing your ability to qualify for the loan and consummate the house purchase.
Here's the skinny: If you are buying in a community property state, (California is one of them), the debt of the non-signing spouse is automatically joint no matter who is on the loan. You can solve this problem by buying the house before the wedding. The lender will not be required to look at both credit reports because you are not yet married.
Credit Score
Let's say your credit score is 800, and your spouse's credit score is 620. Lenders always use the lower of the two credit scores. It would be awfully unpleasant to have to pay a substantially higher interest rate on a mortgage loan when you have excellent credit. In fact, if we look at a loan amount of $300,000 with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, an individual with an 800 credit score could secure a 4.625% interest rate, whereas someone with a 620 credit score might receive a 5.5% interest rate.
The higher rate translates into $161 per month more in interest, meaning you'll pay $57,942 more in interest over the life of the loan – all because your spouse has a 620 credit score. You can solve this problem by — you guessed it — buying the house before you get married. If you know enough ahead of time what your respective credit scores are, you might be able to work toward raising them before you buy. Either way, it's good to keep tabs on your score for many reasons. Using a free tool like Credit.com's Credit Report Card to monitor your credit score can help you plan for your current and future credit needs.
If your spouse can't source cash deposits going into their bank account, you both lose. Even if the money is not being used in the home purchase, the mortgage company is still required by federal law to source any deposits beyond one's normal income source. Here's another problem that's solved by buying the house first.
Loan Type
If you're using a conventional loan to buy a house when you're married, and the other spouse is not on the loan, their debts will not be included in your debt ratio (which informs how much you can borrow) as they otherwise normally would. On the other hand, your spouse's debts will be factored into your debt ratio if you are using loans by the FHA, VA and the USDA.
Applying as a Couple
When you're married, lenders will look at your ability to qualify for the house purchase based on a joint application, unless specifically stated otherwise. By qualifying for the loan prior to getting married, a prudent couple stands to gain the most benefit because they have more options. This is true when it comes to how their loan is structured to best qualify them for a favorable interest rate, as well as getting a more favorable house payment and better down payment financing. Bottom line: Being married when you buy a home can limit a lender's options for getting you qualified.
So congrats on getting engaged! Now go talk to a mortgage lender to see how your financing options can line up. Doing this before you get married can mean the difference between getting a home now … or getting one many years down the road.
