@Clappers2799 oh no they play dek hockey! how dare they! yikes
Thanks for clarifying. I don't argue much of what you said . We see some $$, bloguin has been awesome.
I've always been - it's me derek- been grateful for having anyone read our stuff.
I think you are dead on about blogging dying. It's been a wild ride.
Adam and I daydream about quitting all the time. But for some reason staying up till 2am to write and make gifs is still fun.
The season is such a grind bad that's why we aren't going to go over board on every recap. People don't have unlimited time to read, and even writing them wasn't fun .
This year actually is probably the most fun we've had .
Thanks for reading man. Appreciate it for sure
Love how Brendann won't even respond but yet we are the lazy ones. Why not read or go comment somewhere else ?
I just don't understand how some blog that we run in our span time needs " saved"
@brendannn So sick of being run down by you.
Why do you even visit?
If there is anything that is off here it is your horrid assumptions:
1.Popularity declining?
Who cares. Being popular isn't something any of us could care about.
2.We love Stoosh, but he hasn't published here in years. Adam and I bang out recaps year after year. It isn't to get readers, it is just something we like to do.
What really is annoying is to say we don't work hard. I hate that. Things change. People don't have time to read an unlimited recap.
This post by Jesse is awesome. Why ruin it by trying to run Adam and I down post after post?
Why do you even post here?
@PensSince75 @Breno you are all in
@Kevman7987 it would be until this happened
@brendannn what in the hell are you talking about? I don't have an opinion on Nick Spaling, that is the whole point of this.
@firefox91 no, not at all.
@Midnight Rider Valid ponts here.
@FuuManChuMan 100% dead on
@Con_Soul11 @thepensblog I agree. Doesn't mean you should at least try to get something for his rights at this point. It isn't the end of the world though
@Con_Soul11 "-If you didnt know Niskanen was going to be traded last season, you shouldnt be watching hockey"
Guess I shouldn't be watching hockey then.
@Con_Soul11 vote yes then.lol
@brendannn Why would you not interview your top candidates then? WTF
@brendannn I had a couple of guys that I considered top candidates who did not interview originally,"
No, that makes no sense.
@Animals @thepensblog Also, I would venture to say deadspin is about 8.6 times larger than our site, so go figure, although that isn't a metric of any kind.
@Animals @thepensblog you do realize Deadspin pulls in an insane revenue stream? They can afford huge servers. Bloguin upgraded big time, and while things aren't perfect, for being a small fish, I'll take what they did. They knocked off almost 35 seconds in load time.
@Animals @pawsbyandmeowkin don't take criticism so literal. Jesus christ. Lambert's article was awful. SPORTS FAN BOOO! OMG
@Animals Maybe you just need a better computer. Honestly, I don't see any major issue with the speed of our site. I am able to access it quickly, and based on stats, it is wayyy quicker.
@pawsbyandmeowkin Yea, whoops. Actually caught it, but it takes awhile to update. thanks for your help. durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@brendannn baby gif wasn't from this series. Get your own mind right.
@PenGeno @Craig Ross craig is no more
@peteshelly @Hrududu strongly reccomend this. It removes the blackout :)
@mcbratz1187 how so, got them from here: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/playoffmatchups
@Raymond Bowman @thepensblog @PenGeno thanks man. We'll probably move to a new comment section this summer or something like that. work in progress. We spent a lot of time just trying to have a fast site for a change :)
@PenGeno @Raymond Bowman It's been in the works. The site should be extremely fast now
@The66thDopefish yea it looks like it
@dancoulter yea true about the post.still wasn't in the best of position, IMO
@stapler @thepensblog hahhahahha that is great work
LF3 too. wooo
@staplerova @JenBroflovski actually i just searched cblog. found that pic. changing it now
@JonKlimasIsNOT_PLAYING_ZANGIEF @thepensblog thanks man for some decent feedback noticing some issues too
@BGW @thepensblog all i've seen was this " no i don't like this," like get real
honestly, just trying to figure something out. a lot of you are so negative, so honestly fuck you. woooo
so we moved to a new comment platform: http://www.thepensblog.com/2012-archives/september/new-comments-section-please-give-it-a-test.html#
need your guys help to test stuff
so confused right now on how to embed shit
@Lets_Go_Agreement @thepensblog hahhahaha
And do you know if you click the pop up of the comment in he right lower corner it takes you to the comment?

If you have someone who's job is to buy from wal-mart have supervisors keep better tabs on Wal-Mart inventory. Instead of learning late that inventory is incorrect and assuming theft.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Colombian reports indicate Falcao will miss World Cup, father says he's 60%
May 15, 2014, 11:45 AM EDT
Things are looking more and more bleak for injured Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, as reports from his home country are suggesting he is still very much a longshot to make a full recover in time for the World Cup.
According to Ed Malyon of the Daily Mirror, those Colombian reports suggest Falcao will hold a press conference next week to announce he will not be fit in time to play in Brazil.
Just a month ago Falcao said he was "recovering quickly," and was included in Colombia's preliminary 29-man roster submitted by coach Jose Pekerman two days ago.
His father, Radamel Garcia, told Spanish RCN Radio that his son has "recovered by 60%" from his ACL tear, a bleak number given that the World Cup is just a month away.
"Clinically he is fine," Falcao's father was quoted in Marca as saying, "The problem I see is with football. He lacks stamina, strength, speed, coordination, the combination of things that are fundamental

Starbucks offering reusable cups for $1
Starbucks Corp., the coffee-shop giant, began selling reusable plastic cups for $1 at its U.S. and Canadian stores Thursday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Starbucks Corp., the world's largest coffee-shop operator, began selling reusable plastic cups for $1 at its U.S. and Canadian stores Thursday.
The white plastic cup has the Starbucks logo on it and holds a tall or grande size drink, said Haley Drage, a Starbucks spokeswoman, in an email. The Seattle-based brewer already offers a 10-cent discount to customers who bring in a reusable mug.
Starbucks served 1.9 per cent of drinks in customers' personal tumblers in its company-owned stores around the world in 2011, according to its latest global responsibility report. It wants to serve 5 per cent of beverages in reusable cups by 2015, the report shows.
Starbucks shares rose 0.7 per cent to $55.37 early trading Thursday in New York. The shares gained 17 per cent last year.
The coffee company has more than 18,000 cafes worldwide, including about 11,100 in the U.S.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
England captain Andrew Strauss concedes his side was caught off guard early vs. Pakistan
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - England captain Andrew Strauss said on Thursday his team could not recover from the early loss of five wickets in the first test against Pakistan as his top-ranked side slumped to a 10-wicket defeat.
"We were caught off guard in the first session of the first day on a very flat wicket," Strauss said. "Then on Pakistan was in front and never let us back into the game and you need to congratulate them for the way they played."
England fell to 5-43 within the first two hours of the match before stumbling to scores of 192 and 160 in its innings.
Pakistan held a solid first-innings lead of 146 after replying with a solid 338.
Strauss looked to have made the right call after electing to bat first when he won the toss, but his top order crumbled as offspinner Saeed Ajmal took three of the five wickets before lunch.
"Obviously we are disappointed by the way we batted in both innings — primarily in the first innings — because it was not a 50 for five wicket on day one," Strauss said. "You need to learn some lessons from that and move forward.
"The most important thing is not to be too carried away by the result and obviously learn the lessons from that and make sure you don't make those mistakes."
England has five days to recover from its first loss in a test match in 13 months before it takes on Misbah-ul-Haq's Pakistan in the second test at Abu Dhabi starting on Jan. 25.
"Most important is that batsmen are very clear of their message," Strauss said. "The feeling of disappointment is a good motivation to make sure that it does not happen again."
Strauss said the key to success against Ajmal is to avoid allowing him to take early wicket when he comes on to bowl.
"I think we — a couple of us — contributed and allowed him to put even more pressure on the batsmen coming in the first innings," he said.
Strauss said it was too early to think about his team's top ranking being under threat after Pakistan, the No. 5-ranked team, finished off the first test inside three days.
"Look, this is not the time for us to be worrying about the No.1 ranking or anything like that. What we need to do is make sure we don't play the type of cricket we played in this game in the next test match and that is what our focus is on."
It was England's first test match since taking over as the top-ranked side after whitewashing India at home in August last year.
But Strauss did not accept that the team had gone too long without playing.
"There was nothing in the back of our mind that we were undercooked or underprepared and to that extent we are all surprised by how things turned out," he said.
"But it has happened, it is done and finished ... I am certainly determined to come back strongly in Abu Dhabi and I am sure the rest of the guys are too."

White marble, etched glass, and carved woodwork blend into a handsome Art Nouveau interior in this hotel. Rooms are somewhat less grand, but they do have marble floors and firm beds. The narrow street just below Plaça de Catalunya is pedestrian-only but can still get noisy at night; ask for a room in back.
Carrer Santa Anna 18–20, Barcelona, Catalonia, 08002, Spain

For: Excellent location, quiet street,comfortable beds, lift works. Against: Stone/tiled floors everywhere look great but you hear everything. Next room's shower running at 3am sounded even louder than mine at home (when I'm in it !!!). A very young baby woke regularly (? 3 floors below) at 5 am. Comment: Ultimately, the most important aspect of a hotel stay is whether you get a good night's sleep. Four of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) stayed for
four nights in two separate rooms. None of us had a restful night. Conclusion: Now I know why Holiday Inn/ Novotel etc build hotels with thick walls and carpet everywhere.

We stayed here in two different rooms for three nights in July 2002. The first room was right in the front and was spacious, but was noisy from the people traffic below. The second room was small and a little cramped, but much more quiet. Hotel itself was a little disappointing in appearance, but the service more than made up for any other deficiencies. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and spoke several different languages without
attitude! It was definitely the best service we received in a two-week trip thru Spain. The location is also a big plus for tourists as it's right by Placa de Cataluna. However, parking around here is practically impossible. This hotel is also listed in Rick Steve's, so we believe because of it, gets a lot of Americans, but not exclusively Americans. Plus, if you have the book and you booked directly with the hotel, you can get a 10% discount.

In today's fast-paced world, patience truly is a virtue. We've become accustomed to always expecting the immediate – whether it's a Google search, fast food or overnight shipping. However, not everything in life can be achieved with a few swift keystrokes or a deep fryer. Not surprisingly, skincare is not immune to the pressures of impatient consumers. If you've recently found yourself in the drugstore beauty aisle or within the pages of your favorite fashion magazine, you're no stranger to marketing ploys that promise "clear/younger/perfect skin in minutes."
While we'd love to say flawless skin can be achieved as fast as your Keurig pours out a perfect cup of coffee, whether it's in regard to regimen or results, skincare should never be a rush job. That said, when it comes to professional skincare, there is no downside to waiting a little longer to achieve the dramatic results you desire. What many don't realize is that when you are using high quality, clinical-based skincare products like those from Control Corrective, you receive both immediate and long-term benefits.
Any esthetician will tell you that skincare is a process – but just because it may be unlikely that you'll appear 15 years younger in a few days, it's highly probable that your skin will be noticeably more hydrated and luminous in that short time period IF you're using the right products.
Consider the impressive immediate and long-term results received from these Control products:
- Results worth waiting for: Reduced redness and a decrease in future redness
- Results while you wait: Hydrating and sedating relief from Rosacea or other sources of inflammation. Keep in the fridge, and apply just a pea-size amount as needed to create an on-the-spot, soothing "hydration barrier.
- Results worth waiting for: Restoration and balance for skin that is dry, dehydrated or flaky
- Results while you wait: Cooling and calming relief for sensitive skin. Keep in the fridge and apply as needed to combat complexion flare-ups common during warmer weather.
- Results worth waiting for: Increased hydration and renewed skin texture
- Results while you wait: Instant, anti-inflammatory, hydrating relief for thirsty skin. Non-irritating exfoliators enable skin to take in and retain moisture more effectively, giving the complexion a supple, glowing appearance, while dissolving residual dead skin cell buildup. A great pre-party mask!
- Results worth waiting for: Balanced, smooth skin, reduced of oily problem areas, providing the optimal surface for penetration of other skincare products
- Results while you wait: Deep cleaned, exfoliated and refreshed skin. Offering an aromatic, spa-like experience, it doubles as a luxurious body polish and pre-shave facial.
- Results worth waiting for: Hydrated skin that can retain moisture more effectively
- Results while you wait: Immediate cooling, calming relief for irritated or sensitive skin
Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, so give your skin and skincare products the proper time they need to deliver optimal results.
What immediate benefits do you favor most from your Control products?

Which is your fave????
1. Scarlett Ivy
2. Mackenzie Ella
3. Mackenzie Amelia
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:20 PM
Scarlett Ivy
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:21 PM
Scarlett is my favourite by far (not a fan of Mackenzie).
But I would not pair an adjective and noun so would prefer Scarlett Amelia of your middle names
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:21 PM
Yep Scarlett Ivy from me as well.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:22 PM
I dislike Mackenzie (just personal preference) so I'd say Scarlett Ivy.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:24 PM
Scarlett. Not with Ivy though.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:25 PM
I love Amelia and Ella. The rest are NMS.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:27 PM
Scarlett Ivy
What about Amelia Ivy?
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:27 PM
Scarlett Ivy from those combos but I would prefer Scarlett Amelia.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:29 PM
Scarlett is lovely, with Ivy not so much. Scarlett Amelia is nice.
I don't like Mackenzie at all.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:31 PM
Scarlett Ivy by default, because as much as I dislike Scarlett, I really really really dislike Mackenzie.

Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:38 PM
Scarlett Ivy
Or I'd like Ella Ivy.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 08:38 PM
Scarlett, but once again, not with Ivy.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 08:39 PM
Scarlett Ivy is my choice of the 3. However I am also of the opinion that a different middle name would be better, for some reason Scarlett Ivy sounds odd to me.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 08:45 PM
I don't like Scarlet. I just hear the SCAR and nothing else. I really dislike MacKenzie and Ella. I'd go with Amelia Ivy or vv.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 08:50 PM
I don't really like Scarlet
Makenzie Amelia - I like best
I prefer Amelia Ivy or Ella Ivy

QUOTE (fifi-trixibelle @ 16/01/2013, 07:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Scarlett Ivy from those combos but I would prefer Scarlett Amelia.
Another vote for Scarlett Amelia.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 02:32 AM
Scarlett Ivy
Posted 17 January 2013 - 06:39 AM
I don't like Scarlett because of someone I knew and Ivy is my least favourite girls' name at the moment.
So I'm going with Mackenzie Ella.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:45 AM
Scrap Mackenzie and put another combo together.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 10:58 AM
Scarlett Amelia

Successful retrofit to first newbuilding sees Aberdeen-based owner specify further Low Expansion Foam system for second China-built jack-up.
Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions (WTS) has received a repeat order to install its Unitor Low Expansion Foam fire extinguishing system on a second jack-up newbuilding for Prospector Offshore Drilling.
The specialized firefighting systems will provide fire protection for the shale shakers and mud pits on Prospector 1 and Prospector 5 during their charters to Total E&P UK Ltd. Prospector 1 was delivered from Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Co Ltd in September 2013, Prospector 5 was delivered in June 2014 from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS).
Order handling for the first contract was carried out between WTS' Singapore and Poland offices and was completed in just 12 weeks to the satisfaction of the customer, which immediately requested a similar installation for Prospector 5.
Engineering and manufacturing for the second contract was carried by WTS Poland while the rig was still under construction, with piping pre-installed by SWS. The rig is due to arrive by heavy lift vessel at Invergordon by mid-August where final installation will be carried out.
Mike Evans, Sales Manager U.K. and Benelux, Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions said, "All owners, whether in offshore or marine demand a quick response, short delivery times and the ability to provide installation on turnkey basis. Both these contracts demanded very close teamwork across multiple locations, with good cooperation between departments to make sure we met the customer's demands in terms of quality and timeframe."
Calum Mitchell, Manager – Technical, Prospector Offshore Drilling, added, "The installation performed on Prospector1 at Invergordon had some initial challenges as proposed locations for the equipment and piping had to be adapted. The installation team, combined with the onshore support dealt with the issues accordingly and completed a successful install program whilst receiving high praise from the rig crew for their professionalism and execution. This was a major contributing factor to awarding the contract for the Prospector 5."
The Unitor Low Expansion Foam fire extinguishing system is a flexible, high quality and fully compliant fire extinguishing system which effectively blankets fire and prevents further outbreak using nontoxic low expansion foam. Modular skid-based units provide easy installation and reduced footprint while corrosion resistance component materials and coatings provide a robust, low maintenance system.

Most businesses would trade tax breaks for lower corporate rate
Send this to a friend
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
Most larger businesses are willing to give up popular tax breaks such as the research and development tax credit in return for a lower corporate tax rate.
That's according to a survey of 680 business executives by KPMG. The findings are noteworthy because corporate tax reform is a tradeoff -- in order to get lower tax rates, companies will have to give up tax breaks they've been accustomed to using. This survey indicates most corporations are willing to accept that deal.
"Business leaders understand the fiscal challenges of the United States, and are increasingly recognizing that a hard stance on incentives with respect to corporate tax reform will not work," said KPMG principal Hank Gutman, who is former chief of staff for Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation. "They know that for effective reformation of business taxation to take place, incentives once considered untouchable need to be up for debate."
Executives were most willing to give up accelerated depreciation and the manufacturing deduction, the survey found.
America's corporate tax rate of 35 percent is the highest in the developed world. President Barack Obama and Republicans agree that it needs to be reduced.
"Reduction of the corporate rate is very important," Gutman said. "Proponents believe this will make the U.S. more attractive to foreign direct investment and reduce incentives to move income off-shore."
Small business leaders, however, want the individual tax code to be reformed along with corporate taxes because profits at most small businesses flow through to their individual owners for tax purposes. If business deductions are eliminated, but tax rates for individuals aren't reduced, small businesses could face higher taxes as a result of corporate tax reform.

Islamists vs The West: Mali and the New African Battleground [VIDEO]
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Alfred Joyner | February 27, 2013 3:12 AM EST
The dramatic and deadly four-day siege by Islamic militants at the In Amenas gas plant in Algeria caught many political observers and analysts on the hop. The terrorist attack claimed the lives of 37 foreigners, including six British workers and one British resident. Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the man who orchestrated the assault, claimed the attack was in retaliation for French military intervention in Mali to oust the Islamist rebels.
Prime Minister David Cameron warned that the incident shone a light on a wider crisis - that of a new African battleground in the global war on terror. "This is a global threat and it will require a global response. It will require a response that is about years, even decades, rather than months," he said.
In an exclusive IB Times UK documentary news short, presenter Marverine Cole speaks to a wide range of experts on the crisis in Mali, and what the future holds for Western powers trying to stop rising radicalism in north Africa.
Mark Saade - Honorary Consul for Mali to Britain
Mark Saade, the new honorary consul for Mali to Britain, outlines the four main rebel groups in the north of the country. They each have have different aims and backgrounds, he says.
"The only community-based group who claimed territorial integrity within the Malian sovereign state is what you call the MNLA - the Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad territory, who are mainly Tuaregs," he says.
"The second group is also Tuareg-led, but is more fundamentalist and more inclined to be portrayed as part of the al-Qaida umbrella, which is Ansar Dine.
"The third group is Aqim, or Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. They are foreigners; they [have] mainly foreign leaders with some local followers. The local followers are more drawn in for money than anything else.
"The fourth, which is the MUJAO (Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa), is a splinter of the AQIM group. They are basically religious zealots who want to import the sharia."
Ali Soufan - Former FBI Agent
Former FBI agent Ali Soufan recently published a book, The Black Banners, detailing his involvement in interrogating members of al-Qaoda. He said that despite the initial successes of Western intervention, a lot of work still needs to be done.
"There have been successes by the French and the Malians and the African troops against the extremists. But that's something that we've seen before in our successes in Afghanistan against Taliban and al-Qaeia at the initial stages," he says.
"Now we start seeing the emergence of guerrilla warfare, and guerrilla warfare tactics being applied in northern Mali by the jihadists and the extremists.
"There is a big possibility that this campaign is at its early stages and we have to be very, very careful of not declaring mission accomplished and not declaring victory."
Umberto Bacchi - Foreign Correspondent for IB Times UK
IB Times UK journalists have been covering the developments in Mali over the past 18 months. Foreign correspondent Umberto Bacchi explains that as well as combating terrorism, French intervention served to protect the former colonialist state's economic interests in the region.
"France has a different set of interests in the region. The largest economic interest it has is in Niger. France we know is a large consumer of nuclear energy, and these nuclear plants are mainly fuelled by uranium coming from Niger," he says.
"Another interesting aspect is the potentially huge oil deposits in the north of the country, which span Mauritania to Algeria all across Niger, where a lot of international companies including French Total have won the rights to explore.
Dr Funmi Olonisakin - Director of the Conflict, Security and Development Group at College, London
Dr Funmi Olonisakin is director of the conflict, security and development group at King's College London. An expert on African regional security, she notes that straightforward military intervention alone will not resolve the crisis in the region.
"If we don't find a solution, if we don't find a way to stop the flow of weapons into the hands of the Islamists, into the hands of the Tuaregs, France might have a very difficult time and Ecowas (Economic Community of West African States) might have a very difficult time in that region," she says.
"The facilitation of a continuous process of national conversations is what the world needs to see very quickly in Mali."

Quebec premier 'disappointed' to legislate end to construction strike
The Canadian Press
Published Sunday, June 30, 2013 1:49PM EDT
QUEBEC -- Quebec Premier Pauline Marois says she's "very disappointed" to introduce a law that will force the province's striking construction workers back to their jobs.
Marois says she spoke with representatives from construction unions and companies on Saturday and asked them to give negotiations one last try.
But talks between the two sides broke off Saturday evening.
"I'm very disappointed to have to introduce a special law," Marois told reporters Sunday on her way inside the provincial legislature, which reconvened for a special sitting to deal with the construction strike.
"Honestly, we really wanted to get this done through negotiations and discussions."
The back-to-work legislation was expected to pass in the early morning hours on Monday after a lengthy day inside the legislature.
Some 77,000 workers in Quebec's industrial, institutional and commercial construction sectors have been on strike since June 17.
Workers in other sectors, including residential construction and road work, were able to reach deals last week.
The bill introduced Sunday morning would mean an agreement along the lines of the one reached in the civil engineering and road construction sector. Wages would increase by two per cent in the first year, 2.1 per cent the year after, 2.2 per cent in the third year and 2.3 per cent in the final year.
If the special law passes, striking workers would have to be back on the job by Tuesday.
The PQ has faced criticism from some in its base who say the party has not done enough to support the unions.
The opposition Liberals and Coalition party were both in favour of introducing back-to-work legislation, but criticized the Parti Quebecois government for not providing the details of the bill in advance.
Jean-Marc Fournier, the Liberal house leader, accused the PQ of failing to act quickly enough. He said the strike has caused unnecessary delays and the economic consequences will be significant.
The construction strike has stalled work at sites across the province, including work on Montreal's two super hospitals.

A data center in the Byberry Industrial Park in Northeast Philadelphia that is leased on a long-term basis to Vanguard Group has sold for $65 million, or an eye-popping $540 a square foot.
Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT Inc. of Tampa, Fla., bought the 121,000-square-foot building at 2000 Kubach Road. The building was constructed in 1993 on 25.6 acres.
Robert J. Fahey, Patrick Lynch and Michael B. Harrell of CBRE Inc. arranged the transaction. The Philadelphia area has an abundance of data centers because it has a reliable power grid, the costs of power is relatively inexpensive, it has an abundance of fiber, and it doesn't experience a significant amount of natural disasters, according to a statement issued by CBRE.
Natalie Kostelni covers real estate and economic development.

Over 10 Die of Sizzling Heat in China's Shanghai - Report
MOSCOW, July 31 (RIA Novosti) - Over 10 people died due to a searing heat wave in China's city of Shanghai with temperatures standing above 38 degrees Celsius (over 100 Fahrenheit) for eight days in a row, Xinhua news agency reported.
The agency reported citing the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention that this year's July was the hottest ever registered since weather records monitoring started 140 years ago.
"Over 30 percent of the patients, who died were hit by summer heat when they were indoors," the agency reported citing the center.
In a vivid example of the sizzling heat in Shanghai, the Chinese financial and business center, a reporter from Shanghai TV roasted pork slices on outdoor marble within just 10 minutes, the agency said.
According to CNN weather forecast, temperatures above 38 degrees Celsius will remain in Shanghai at least until Sunday.

Method for enhancing electrode surface area in DRAM cell capacitors
Image Number 3 for
United States Patent #7573121
Methods for forming the lower electrode of a capacitor in a semiconductor circuit, and the capacitors formed by such methods are provided. The lower electrode is fabricated by forming a texturizing underlayer and then depositing a conductive material thereover. In one embodiment of a method of forming the lower electrode, the texturizing layer is formed by depositing a polymeric material comprising a hydrocarbon block and a silicon-containing block, over the insulative layer of a container, and then subsequently converting the polymeric film to relief or porous nanostructures by exposure to UV radiation and ozone, resulting in a textured porous or relief silicon oxycarbide film. A conductive material is then deposited over the texturizing layer resulting in a lower electrode have an upper roughened surface. In another embodiment of a method of forming the lower electrode, the texturizing underlayer is formed by depositing overlying first and second conductive metal layers and annealing the metal layers to form surface dislocations, preferably structured as a periodic network. A conductive metal is then deposited in gaseous phase, and agglomerates onto the surface dislocations of the texturizing layer, forming nanostructures in the form of island clusters. The capacitor is completed by depositing a dielectric layer over the formed lower electrode, and forming an upper capacitor electrode over the dielectric layer. The capacitors are particularly useful in fabricating DRAM cells.

Permanent Aggression
Submitted by Derek Henson on Tue, 2010-03-16 03:00
"The hostile declarations from various Washington representatives during the past few weeks, accusing Venezuela of failure to combat narcotics operations, violating human rights, 'not contributing to democracy and regional stability', and of being the 'regional anti-US leader', form part of a coordinated campaign that seeks to justify a direct aggression against Venezuela. Soon, Washington will publish its annual list of "state sponsors of terrorism", and if Venezuela is placed on the list this year, the region could be on the brink of an unprecedented military conflict."

Six New Mexico firms win VIVA awards
Send this to a friend
- NMBW Staff
Two Albuquerque area companies and one nonprofit were among the Association of Commerce and Industry's six VIVA Award winners Thursday night during an awards banquet in Albuquerque.
The companies were honored for their vision, investment, vitality and action, ACI said in a news release. ACI annually honors companies with the awards.
The Albuquerque region winners were:
- Summit Electric Company Inc., of Albuquerque. The 27-year-old company was honored for creating a new breed of electrical distributors. Summit has 20 service centers throughout the Southwest and the Gulf Coast, and is the 25th largest electrical distributor in the U.S.
- Energy Control Inc., of Rio Rancho. The company has focused on using technology to create intelligent buildings and campuses that are energy efficient and secure. Energy Control has been recognized as one of the fastest growing technology companies in New Mexico.
- ACCION New Mexico, of Albuquerque. This not-for-profit organization has helped small and minority-owned businesses gain access to capital. The organization makes loans and provides training to entrepreneurs. In 2003, ACCION made 490 loans, 92 percent of which went to low-income, minority and/or women entrepreneurs.
The other winners were:
- Joseph's Lite Cookies, of Deming, in southwestern New Mexico. The company was founded 17 years ago when a 15-year-old diabetic boy invented the first sugar-free/low-carb cookie. Today, the company's sugar-free, low-carb cookies are the only cookies in the world to be endorsed and recommended by the National Diabetes Outreach and National Health and Wellness Organization.
- Curtis & Curtis Seed, of Clovis, in east central New Mexico. The company was founded in 1956 to supply native grass seeds for the southwestern U.S. It now ships seeds all over the world, with a heavy emphasis on turf seeds for golf courses, home lawns and industrial sites.
- Viviendas! LLC, of Taos, in northeastern New Mexico. The company builds affordable, energy-efficient, factory-built, modular homes for New Mexico and southern Colorado. The factory-built homes are delivered to a customer's site and placed on conventional foundations.
