CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ? Penske Racing is still working on its 2013 driver lineup and that may include changes for IndyCar driver Ryan Briscoe.

Penske president Tom Cindric said the team is looking for sponsors for its IndyCar program, which fields three full-time cars. Penske picked up the 2013 contract options on points leader Will Power and Helio Castroneves, but is in limbo right now regarding Briscoe.

"We've told Ryan Briscoe it would be OK for him to go look and try to understand what's out there because our deal will come together late," Cindric said. "And we'll look to see who is available at that time. We haven't told him yes and we haven't told him no, we want him to land on his feet whether it's with us or someone else."

Briscoe won two weeks ago at Sonoma and finished second on Sunday at Baltimore. He's currently ranked sixth in the standings.

Penske formally introduced Joey Logano on Wednesday as the driver for its No. 22, a ride that Sam Hornish Jr. took over in July when AJ Allmendinger failed a random drug test. Although Hornish will finish the season in the car, he'll have to turn the keys over to Logano at the end of the year.

Hornish, a former Indianapolis 500 winner and three-time IndyCar champion, is still in Penske's NASCAR plans.

"We've continued to work on putting a Cup program together for Sam, we just haven't been able to close that process yet," Cindric said. "I foresee Sam driving for us a full season Nationwide next year and hopefully some Cup races, as well."

Cindric said he thinks it is too late in the year to put together a full-time Sprint Cup Series program for Hornish in 2013, and the goal now is to find sponsorship for some races.

Hornish is ranked third in the Nationwide Series but still looking for his first win of the season. In the nine races since stepping in after Allmendinger's suspension, his best finish was fifth at Watkins Glen. He was 11th at Atlanta.

He has made no secret of wanting to get back to the Cup Series, where he spent three seasons before a lack of sponsorship forced Penske to shutter the program. Hornish was out of a ride most of last year, and was disappointed he was passed over for Allmendinger when the No. 22 opened in December.

Now he's been passed over by Logano, who has been on Penske's wish list for some time. Cindric said there's no easy answer as to why Hornish didn't get the job. Logano is 11 years younger than the 33-year-old Hornish, and offered a ton of potential to sponsor Shell Pennzoil.

"When you look at it, you have to try to understand who has the best track record and who has the best fit for the sponsor and the team," Cindric said. "Sam is obviously a good fit for our team, but when you look at in on paper, it becomes a little more difficult."

Cindric said it will be hard to get Hornish anything beyond a partial Cup schedule for 2013 right now.

"I would be surprised if we would be able to put together a full-time schedule for Sam at this time of the year," Cindric said. "We want him in the Cup Series and our goal is to get him there. But right now there aren't any sponsors ready to make that commitment."

Britney Spears, Jason Trawick Get Cozy in Elle

Pop star Britney Spears and Jason Trawick, her agent-turned-fiance, open up about their romance (briefly) in the October issue of Elle magazine.

Asked who made the first move, Jason said,  “It was kind of one of those things where she moved, like, turned around, so we were face-to-face, and then-”

Spears then cut him off and said, "Okay, that’s enough information, sweetie. It was sweet, let's just say that." We can only imagine ...

The future Mrs. Jason Trawick looks pretty unreal in the mag, but she admits that there are days when she'd rather not worry about her appearance.

 "I love my jeans and my sweats, I’m really just a tomboy at heart," she admits.

"So it’s really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup and hair-ready every time I go out of my house ... On the other hand, when you do wear those sweats, you’re like, 'Oh God, I should step it up a notch.'”

The singer makes her X Factor debut next week. Bet she's gonna kill it. Check out a few more Britney Spears pictures from Elle's shoot below ...

Photo time capsule aiming for orbit

13:20 04 September 2012

Satellites orbiting the Earth may be among the longest-lasting things humans have created. With this in mind, artist Trevor Paglen is launching into space a set of 100 photographs attached to a communications satellite. The photos are engraved on a chip that should last for billions of years. The Last Pictures may well outlive human existence on Earth. If they should be discovered millions of years from now, what will be made of them? All images courtesy of Trevor Paglen and Creative Time

The chip

Working out how to make a disc of images into a sound archive for billions of years was one of the project's biggest challenges. Paglen sought help from scientists at MIT who jumped at such an impractical challenge, says curator Nato Thompson. "Sometimes artists can provide scientists with questions they wouldn't come across in normal life," he says. The irony of sending the images into space etched on a telecoms satellite was not lost on Paglen. The satellite will transmit millions of images per hour back to Earth during its functioning lifetime ? in stark contrast to the carefully selected photos it could carry deep into the future.

In which self-empowerment exceeds neoliberalism ? Flat 7

?? if spontaneous interventions are reactions to these spatial conditions of the contemporary city, are they not in some ways contributors to them too? Certainly they do have impacts, or hope to. Certainly they are products of many skilled designers, architects, artists, and other members of the so-called ?creative class,? often working in places they may not hail from originally. Should we consider the possibility that these design interventions for the common good may indeed, just like official improvements, still contribute to an uneven development of their own? That the very arrival of such actions (and their creators) might precipitate or even encourage the gentrification process in one place, or be viewed as quite unwelcome in another? ?Connecting individual spontaneous interventions to changes in property values, median monthly rents, or the displacement of particular groups is a tall order. But, whether formal or informal, bike lanes, benches, gardens, services, or anything considered creative, trendy, and helpful is likely to do more good than harm to a neighborhood?s appeal to capital. One person?s ?right? to improve her surroundings may present a potential infringement upon others? ?right to stay put.?[viii]Neoliberal conditions, including uneven development, make space for spontaneous interventions, but it may also be the case that some spontaneous interventions enable and indeed contribute to the continuation of neoliberal conditions.

In the final accounting though, this may be too harsh, or at least premature. It is important to be mindful of the complexities of these things, and the two-way streets on which they run. But it need not take away from the value and incredible potential inherent in the simple act of taking urban improvement into ones own hands. It is no small step to take. If the medium is the message, informal urbanism speaks volumes.?

- Gordon Douglas, ?Do It Yourself urban design in the Help Yourself city?, Architect magazine, August 30 2012.

Helpful Tips On Investing In Commercial Real Estate

by author on Monday, September 3rd, 2012 | Comments Off

In fact, there is often more potential for profit in commercial properties than in residential properties. It can be difficult to find good opportunities. Therefore, the following tips will make it easier for you to get good deals in commercial real estate.

Take a look around properties you are interested in. Consider taking a professional contractor along with you as you look over the properties that you consider buying. Make the preliminary proposals, and open the negotiating table. Make sure you evaluate any counteroffers well enough before you make any purchasing decisions.

Make sure the property you are interested in has access to utilities. You will need access to electricity, water, sewer and maybe gas in addition to any unique need that your business has.

Find a variety of financial partners, from friends and family to professional lenders, to ensure you have a cash flow available to purchase commercial real estate. Ensure that the contracts that you enter into have several repayment options available to you, either fixed rate or income percentage.

TIP! If you have found the right commercial property for your needs, read the lease in its entirety prior to signing it. Larger real estate companies can often put in extra requirements in your lease and it can be lengthy! Always read any commercial lease before you sign it.

Create a real estate newsletter or blog that is regularly updated, and stay active on relevant social networking sites. Once you have locked up a deal, make sure to keep your online presence.

Phantom Income

Before you invest in real estate, be certain that you understand the implications regarding your taxes. In addition to depreciation benefits, investors can receive interest deductions. Phantom income also exists: this type of income does not cover cash benefits but is taxed. Learn about phantom income and taxes on commercial income before you invest in your first property.

Think about any environmental concerns that the property poses. For instance, your property could be endangered by the presence of hazardous waste. As a property owner, it is your responsibility to handle these issues, regardless of their origin.

TIP! Prior to selecting a real estate broker, determine what kind of negotiating tactics they have. Find out about their experience and training.

Try practicing patience and remain calm, if you are considering purchasing any commercial real estate. Never rush into an investment. You might regret it if that property is not right for you. It could take some months, possibly a year, for your dream investment to appear in the market.

Before you buy or sell a commercial property, find out several key economic indicators for the region, including trends in unemployment and income, as well as major employers in the region. In addition, you want to keep in mind what else is close to the property. Any place that supplies a large number of jobs to the economy can raise the resale value of any property and make it much faster to sell if you decided to go that route. Big employers might consist of hospitals, factories, or universities.

Real Estate

You should ask the real estate firm about how they acquire their assets before agreeing to do business with them. The firm should answer your questions directly and let you know that what is best for them, might not be best for you. You should determine how exactly they derive profits from your business transactions.

TIP! When you are considering a broker, ask them what their visions of success and failure entail. Find out what criteria they use to determine their results.

Read the disclosures when you?re ready to hire a real estate agent. Remember that dual agency is also an option. Dual agency in real estate is when the agency works for both parties. In other words, the agent is representing both you and your landlord in the same transaction. If this is the case, and the agent is a dual agent, this should be known to both parties and agreed to by both parties.

If you are investing in real estate, consider going big. If you are considering purchasing a building with 5 apartments, understand that you could manage one with 50 apartments just as easily. Buildings with five units need commercial financing as so do the bigger buildings, and you pay less per unit for a larger building.

Now you have the basics of investment in commercial real estate under your belt. Exercise flexibility and quick thinking while you use the market. When you position yourself like this you can make sure you make the best decisions possible, and you can maximize your profit ability as well as give yourself a better

Make sure you never underestimate anyone when it comes to real estate, not your private lenders or your investors, know what everyone is capable of. As an example, many commercial properties are often sold before they are listed on the market, so the more people you know, the more access you have to great deals.

TIP! Find out how the firm that you are thinking of working with measure results. Learn how they determine how much space is needed, the property selection criteria, the negotiation methods, and other details that can affect you.
