Beaches real estate market booming

Posted on by

ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. A 'for sale' sign sits outside of Linda Morgans Atlantic Beach home, but if the empty infotube tells you anything, it probably wont be there for much longer.

"It's been phenomenal, Morgan said of the response. I was out of town the last two weeks and I was getting calls from all over the country."

Within just 48 hours of her home being on the market, Morgan says she got an offer and since then, theyve kept on coming. The bids have been so frequent, even she was caught off-guard, and Morgan is a local real estate agent herself.

It seems the market at the Beaches has quickly flipped from a buyers market into a sellers.

"If a seller has a marketable piece of property, now they can get their property sold and at the best price, said Don Cline of Prudential Network Realty.

Cline says the demand at the Beaches is so hot right now, theyre basically begging for listings.

"This time last year we had 32 percent more properties available for buyers to choose from, he said.

According to the Commerce Department, Americans bought new homes last month at the fastest pace in more than two and a half years. In addition, according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders, builder confidence rose this month to its highest level in six and a half years.

Many say these are signs of a housing-market recovery.

To Morgan, its a sign indicating that she should probably raise the price.

GULF SHORES, Alabama --

Heavy equipment is once again on the beaches of Gulf Shores putting back what Mother Nature and time has taken away.

"Going from Laguna Key which is the end of our city limits to the west, to the Florida line." City marine resource manager Brandan Franklin says sand is being pumped from what is called borrow sites off shore. The initial concern was those sites may have been contaminated by the BP oil spill. He says extensive testing was done before the first grain hit the shoreline. "Anytime you go to the bottom of the gulf and get new sand it's going to have this greyish tint but in not time at all it'll be bleached white, perfect match."

Once crews are finished in Gulf Shores they're going to skip the state park and head straight to Orange Beach hoping to build back the beach before spring breakers arrive.

"We're looking for the last week of January right before the first," says Orange Beach marine resource manager Phillip West.

Huge dredge pipes are already in place along the beach. "There will be some disruption along the beach. Watch the work zones and there'll be crossings at the pipes. You will be able to get to the shoreline. Pardon our progress."

Once Orange Beach is finished crews will head to the state park beaches. By the end of the project the beach will extend an additional 30 yards into the Gulf of Mexico. An important buffer during hurricane season.

"By putting additional sand on the beach, elevating the beach, anytime we get a storm the water and storm surge is less likely to damage the structures along the coast," says Franklin. "We can get that added protection it's well worth the money."

From Laguna Key to Highway 59 and Beach Boulevard is already finished. A few more days and the project will be out of Gulf Shores.

The price tag for the project, 16 million dollars. FEMA is paying for about 75 percent of that.

Year's Largest Astronomy Meeting Kicks Off in California Sunday

Posted on by

Nearly 3,000 astronomers will descend upon Long Beach, Calif., next week for the year's largest astronomy conference.

The 221st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) kicks off Sunday (Jan. 6) and will run through Jan. 10 at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center. The meeting, one of two held annually by the AAS, has been billed as the "Super Bowl of astronomy."

"Our winter meeting is generally about twice as big as our summer one and is the biggest astronomy meeting of the year," AAS press officer Rick Fienberg told SPACE.com.

New discoveries on alien planets, black holes, distant galaxies, and the worlds of our solar system will be presented. Scientists will announce the newest findings of X-ray, gamma-ray and optical telescopes, and astronomers will hash out the latest news about the universe's confounding enigmas, such as dark energy and dark matter two mysterious types of stuff that appear to make up the bulk of the cosmos.

More than 2,700 professors, researchers, and students are already registered, and the total attendance will likely approach 3,000, Fienberg said. In addition to distinguished scientists, Nobel Laureates, and up-and-coming leaders in the field, the meeting attracts some of the top officials in NASA, the National Science Foundation, and other research organizations.

Scientists will discuss, town hall-style, the outlook for federal astronomy spending and the NASA budget in the coming year. Researchers will update others in their fields about the progress being made toward launching the Hubble telescope's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, as well as building highly-anticipated ground-based observatories such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.

The last AAS meeting was held in Anchorage, Alaska in June 2012, and the summer meeting will be held June 2 to 6 in Indianapolis, Ind.

Many of the big-ticket discoveries being presented at the upcoming conference will be discussed in press conferences that will be streamed live online throughout the week. You can watch the live webcasts here on SPACE.com where we'll link to our full coverage of the 221st meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

Sequestration deal delayed, leaving Colorado aerospace industry up in air

Posted on by

Scott Murray, mechanical lead technician at Ball Aerospace & Technologies in Boulder, rotates one of the optical mirrors for the new James Webb Space Telescope. Ball executive Fred Doyle says, "If we had clarity on sequestration, we would be hiring more people to meet the demands of our customers." (Denver Post file)

The budget agreement passed by the U.S. Congress and supported by President Barack Obama to avert the "fiscal cliff" provides tax-rate clarity for individual Americans, yet failed to find a solution to the across-the-board cuts known as sequestration leaving Colorado's large aerospace industry in limbo.

Congress pushed back the deadline to March 1 from the Jan. 1 deadline set in place by the Budget Control Act of 2011. This is neither good news nor bad for an industry facing huge cuts should Congress default on a decision.

"The plan did add some certainty to citizens, but nothing to industry," said Fred Doyle, vice president and group leader of defense and intelligence at Ball Aerospace & Technologies in Boulder. "If we had clarity on sequestration, we would be hiring more people to meet the demands of our customers."

Aerospace leaders applauded Washington's agreement for coming to some semblance of a tax compromise and for temporarily preventing the sequester from occurring. However, they are now pleading for a comprehensive solution that allows certainty for their industry as well.

"Until sequestration is permanently eliminated, there will be an overhang on our industry that stifles investment in plant, equipment, people, and future research and development essential to the future health of our industry," said Lockheed Martin in a statement to The Denver Post.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta released a statement regarding the sequestration delay on Wednesday. He began by thanking Congress and the Obama administration for stalling the cuts, but then turned around to warn those same leaders that they "cannot continue to just kick the can down the road."

"Congress has prevented the worst possible outcome by delaying sequestration for two months," Panetta said in a news release. "Unfortunately, the cloud of sequestration remains."

That cloud includes hiring freezes or slowdowns, budget-planning uncertainty and stalled growth.

"As nimble as companies like to be, it is still difficult for them to plan in a federal environment that is not taking a long-term view," said Patty Silverstein, an economist at Colorado-based Development Research Partners.

Aerospace Industries Association Statement on Space Launch Indemnification

Posted on by

The following statement on congressional passage of an extension of space launch indemnification provisions can be attributed to Frank Slazer, Vice President of Space Systems at the Aerospace Industries Association. Please call with any questions.

Congress has taken a major step to help restore American commercial space launch competitiveness by extending existing space launch indemnification provisions by one year. Since 1986, launch indemnification has established a reasonable cap on how much liability insurance U.S. launch companies must carry. The provision is similar to liability limits in place for foreign launchers and provides a more level playing field for American space launch providers.

As space launch capabilities have been developed by other nations, our share of commercial launches has decreased significantly. Elimination of government indemnification would continue to drive launch business overseas, while simultaneously increasing the cost of U.S. government launches. By contrast, this cap has never cost U.S. taxpayers a dime.

Passage of indemnification renewal is a very important step and we strongly urge President Obama to sign the provision into law. AIA looks forward to working with the new Congress to maintain long-term stability for U.S. launch competitiveness by renewing indemnification for a longer period than the current one-year provision.

Quaker Chemical Introduces Metalworking Technology to the U.S. Aerospace Industry

Posted on by

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --The Aerospace industry faces complex challenges from the development of innovative next-generation aircraft programs to increasing demand for improved quality control and performance. Quaker Chemical (KWR), a global leader in metalworking process fluids, continually supports customers in meeting industry challenges with high-performance fluids. To meet these challenges, Quaker has introduced QUAKERCOOL 7000 ALF BAF, a European approved machining and grinding coolant, to the U.S. aerospace industry. QUAKERCOOL 7000 ALF BAF is an environmentally friendly water soluble coolant designed for the machining of aluminum alloys and has new technology that is boron-free and amine-free.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120910/PH70044LOGO)

After an aerospace supplier requested that QUAKERCOOL 7000 ALF BAF, a metalworking fluid historically used in Europe, be sampled and tested for use in the U.S. market, Quaker faced a challenge to make the product compliant with the U.S. Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) while maintaining global availability. However, Quaker's team of U.S. and European chemists successfully adapted this advanced technology to meet both U.S. and European aerospace industry requirements.

Through the collaborative effort, QUAKERCOOL 7000 ALF BAF is now available in the U.S. The technology is preferred for aluminum alloys used in the aerospace industry. The coolant has low alkalinity properties that aid in the prevention of staining the aluminum and tested successfully for the machining of a large population of aerospace aluminum alloys. The QUAKERCOOL 7000 ALF BAF also passed a customer's stain testing on a classified alloy. The product provides excellent wetting abilities resulting in high cutting performance, microbiological growth control without biocide addition, and provides cleanliness on tools and machines with good detergency.

Quaker also offers other approved machining and grinding coolants such as QUAKERCOOL 6010 ND to the Aerospace industry.

Nutrition key to profitability

Posted on by

THE personal touch is what puts Western Livestock Nutrition operators Rob Thallon and Belinda McLeish ahead of the game for Longreach grazier Paul McClymont.

Their animal nutrition business, which comes with personalised service and advice, is a welcome face on the scene for himself and other graziers seeking to make the best feeding choices possible.

"It's handy having them right here," Mr McClymont said. "I was buying my feed from Charters Towers but now it's easy to organise at this end, especially if you're like me and don't have storage for a lot of feed on the place."

The pair took over the Longreach-based business from Phillip Avery in March this year and have been busy putting their own brand on it.

"I had been doing private consulting with Pip's clients, and the opportunity came to go into business with Rob and make it our own," Belinda said.

They met while studying at the University of Queensland's Gatton campus a decade ago.

Belinda undertook an agricultural science degree and then went to work for a number of stock feed companies in northern NSW and Queensland, gaining experience in the field, while Rob followed up his animal production course with a degree in agribusiness at Marcus Oldham College in Victoria.

They say nutrition is fast becoming recognised as an important tool to build profitability, as evidenced by their client base of 40 and climbing.

While their clientele is mostly local at this stage, covering a radius of 300km around Longreach, they also have customers at Cloncurry and Croydon and aim to distribute their products all over Queensland.

The business prides itself on being the region's supplementing specialists, providing a large range to suit varied requirements, including customised dry lick, production mixes, grain mixes and blocks, which are all manufactured in Townsville and distributed from there.

Nutrition gardens to help fight malnutrition

Nutrition gardens to help fight malnutrition BS Reporter / Chennai/ Mysore Jan 03, 2013, 00:51 IST

Realising its role in combating malnutrition, the Department of Horticulture here has taken up a programme to develop nutrition gardens in each taluk of the Mysore district.

In order to meet its target under the programme, it has developed 200,000 fruit and vegetable saplings which will be planted in these gardens.

Towards this, it is offering financial assistance under various schemes. These measures have resulted in development of nutritional horticulture blocks in 2,500 acres in the district, he said at an interaction programme on Malnutrition and role of horticulture products at the Tibetan centre in Bylakuppe in Periyapatna taluk on Wednesday.

Raju suggested to the students who participated in the programme, organised by the Department of Information, Mysore, to balance their eating habits with at least 120 grams fresh fruits and 45-50 grammes vegetables along with regular food to improve their nutrition status. Eating after washing them and without removing their skin would help improve harmones also. Mothers and pregnant women can overcome iron deficiency by eating more greens along with fruits and vegetables.

Assistant Director of Information G Chandrakanth asked the participants not to be carried away by costly fruits believing they alone provided nutrition to their body. They should instead go in for ordinary and cheaper varieties like papaya, banana, jackfruit, guava, custard apple and figs, and vegetables like tomato, ladies finger, ridge gourd, brinjal, drumstick, bitter gourd and many variety of greens locally available.

40 Days Of DIY Microbiology Part Two
Some guests to my YouTube channel have expressed a desire to see me make more microscope videos. I myself agree - it #39;s been a long time since I #39;ve done one, and I kinda miss it. In the spirit of that, I decided to do a complete video series detailing my microscope, my digital video microscope viewing/recording setup, and a complete tour of how I go about gathering a good freshwater sample, how I create a long term slide, and how I then explore that slide over days worth of time, watching the various populations of microbiological life rise or fall and recording anything interesting to video. This will be a multipart series, with this first episode focusing on the details of the microscope setup itself, the second episode covering the gathering of samples and the creation of the long term slide, and then subsequent episodes strictly focusing on exploring what types of microorganisms are present on the slide and how time affects their populations as the various species compete for resources. Forty DAYS worth of time, that is. Please feel free to ask questions or contribute information, especially regarding species names. Enjoy, and stay tuned! Rick NR417
