...anyone become his or her own print magnate. Potential publishers e-mail the site any number of documents to be printed on standard, letter-size magazine stock. MagCloud takes care of the rest - binding the pages, selling the finished magazine on its website and delivering each order. For this HP charges about 20 cents per page; the publisher of the magazine can add a markup to that. (See pictures of Australia's dust storms...
...Australia, where it's reasonable to assume interest will be highest. (Powazek offered to send it to anyone who wanted it, and one Australian took a bulk order for local distribution.) Delivery from MagCloud can take up to two weeks, which is like baking fresh bread and shelving it. HP has plans to shorten the lead time, but it's at the mercy of the postal service. Meanwhile, newsstands remain the point of purchase for most commemorative issues. Plus, although Powazek and the photographers aren't making any money off Strange Light, it costs eight bucks.

...ethos early on. In 1992, Gap developed sourcing guidelines for its suppliers, and in 1996 the company put in effect a code of conduct for them. Since 2004, Gap has been publishing information about the factories it uses and those it has stopped doing business with.

Like its predecessor, you can get a Camaro in different sizes of vroom. The lower-end LS model features a 300-hp, 3.4-liter, V-6 engine that goes from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 6.1 seconds. The higher-priced SS model, which I drove, has a 6.2-liter, V-8 engine that tops out at 426 hp and cuts the time to 4.7 seconds to reach 60 m.p.h. Is the twitch-quick Mustang GT a little more responsive off the mark? Maybe, but running the Camaro through second, third and fourth gears will quickly, very quickly, make you forget...
...rate. It hasn't been tricky subprime and Alt-A loans tripping up the folks in Idaho; it's been the flailing economy. At 10.1%, Boise's unemployment rate is above the national average and nearly twice what it was this time last year. As big employers such as HP and semiconductor maker Micron lay off thousands of workers, job losses cascade through other industries and small businesses. If people can't make their mortgage payments, foreclosure follows. Perverse as it sounds, that is the housing market working as it should. (See pictures of Americans in their homes...
