King Industrial Realty, Inc./CORFAC Int'l: New construction up from ...

Over the past ten years, new construction in the Atlanta industrial real estate market reached a high of around 14 million square feet in 2005 and a low of about 2.5 million square feet in 2011.? New construction in 2010 came to just under 2 million square feet of space.? The fourth quarter of 2012 showed new industrial construction in Atlanta to be at about 3.7 million square feet.? This is an improvement of about a million square feet over total new construction for 2011 and 2010, but does it really mean good news for the Atlanta industrial market?? I don?t think anyone can be sure.?

It is worth noting that about two-thirds of the new construction reported at the 4^th quarter of 2012 was build-to-suit and about one-third was spec construction.? Of the one-third spec construction, most of that was the IDI development.?

Although in 2012, there was a slight increase in the amount of spec construction due to IDI, we still seem to be following the same general trend of mostly build-to-suit construction for the past few years.? Since 2009, the vast majority of new construction has been build-to-suit mainly for two reasons.? First, our excessive inventory of available space keeps prices down by enough that new construction has a very hard time competing with the prices of used space.? Second, there are many older, big-box buildings that have low ceilings and not enough trailer parking.? The majority of the build-to-suit construction winds up being the consolidation of several different buildings or relocation from an old facility to a new facility that can better accommodate the needs of current users.

Build-to-suit construction can make activity appear to be improving, but we have seen that this does not usually translate to a notable impact in net absorption.? According to Charlie King, ?this is because most of the companies involved in the build-to-suits are already located in Atlanta and usually give up just as much or even more space than they occupy in a new construction.? This leads to very little net absorption and more functionally obsolete buildings on the market.?

From a developer?s perspective, things are definitely not great.? The Atlanta market still has a great deal of space that needs to be absorbed and owners of older buildings are faced with a problem because these spaces are proving difficult to lease.? We are still a long way from seeing the same level of new construction that took place in 2005, but maybe it is best if we don?t reach such a high level again and avoid such a huge crash in the market over the next cycle.

A solution to sinusitis from the sea

Feb. 18, 2013 ? A team of scientists and surgeons from Newcastle are developing a new nasal spray from a marine microbe to help clear chronic sinusitis.

They are using an enzyme isolated from a marine bacterium Bacillus licheniformis found on the surface of seaweed which the scientists at Newcastle University were originally researching for the purpose of cleaning the hulls of ships.

Publishing? recently in PLOS ONE, they describe how in many cases of chronic sinusitis the bacteria form a biofilm, a slimy protective barrier which can protect them from sprays or antibiotics. In vitro experiments showed that the enzyme, called NucB dispersed 58% of biofilms.

Dr Nicholas Jakubovics of Newcastle University said: "In effect, the enzyme breaks down the extracellular DNA, which is acting like a glue to hold the cells to the surface of the sinuses. In the lab, NucB cleared over half of the organisms we tested."

Sinusitis with or without polyps is one of the most common reasons people go to their GP and affects more than 10% of adults in the UK and Europe. Mr Mohamed Reda Elbadawey, Consultant of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Freeman Hospital -- part of the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust -- was prompted to contact the Newcastle University researchers after a student patient mentioned a lecture on the discovery of NucB and they are now working together to explore its medical potential.

Mr Elbadawey said: "Sinusitis is all too common and a huge burden on the NHS. For many people, symptoms include a blocked nose, nasal discharge or congestion, recurrent headaches, loss of the sense of smell and facial pain. While steroid nasal sprays and antibiotics can help some people, for the patients I see, they have not been effective and these patients have to undergo the stress of surgery. If we can develop an alternative we could benefit thousands of patients a year."

In the research, the team collected mucous and sinus biopsy samples from 20 different patients and isolated between two and six different species of bacteria from each individual. 24 different strains were investigated in the laboratory and all produced biofilms containing significant amounts of extracellular DNA. Biofilms formed by 14 strains were disrupted by treatment with the novel bacterial deoxyribonuclease, NucB.

When under threat, bacteria shield themselves in a slimy protective barrier. This slimy layer, known as a biofilm, is made up of bacteria held together by a web of extracellular DNA which adheres the bacteria to each other and to a solid surface -- in this case in the lining of the sinuses. The biofilm protects the bacteria from attack by antibiotics and makes it very difficult to clear them from the sinuses.

In previous studies of the marine bacterium Bacillus licheniformis, Newcastle University scientists led by marine microbiologist Professor Grant Burgess found that when the bacteria want to move on, they release an enzyme which breaks down the external DNA, breaking up the biofilm and releasing the bacteria from the web. When the enzyme NucB was purified and added to other biofilms it quickly dissolved the slime exposing the bacterial cells, leaving them vulnerable.

The team's next step is to further test and develop the product and they are looking to set up collaboration with industry.

Iraq's al Qaeda wing claims Baghdad blasts

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's Iraqi wing claimed responsibility on Monday for car bomb blasts that killed 28 people in Shi'ite Muslim districts in Baghdad, saying it was taking revenge for perceived state repression of Sunni Muslims.

The al Qaeda affiliate Islamic State of Iraq and other Sunni Islamist groups oppose Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi'ite-led government which they say discriminates against the country's Sunni minority.

Once at the heart of the insurgency against U.S. troops in Iraq, al Qaeda now targets mainly Shi'ites and local security forces in an attempt to trigger the kind of widespread sectarian violence that drove the oil producer to the edge of civil war in 2006-2007.

"We say to the Sunnis in Baghdad and elsewhere: The situation in which you are living today is exactly what the mujahideen warned you of years ago. You are walking in a dark tunnel," said the statement posted on an Islamist website on Monday.

At least eight car bombs exploded near shops, restaurants in Baghdad's busy commercial streets on Sunday.

One blast tore off shop fronts in Qaiyara district while another left the remains of a car and its twisted engine littered across a high street in the busy, commercial Karrada district.

Insurgents are stepping up attacks at a time when Maliki is facing two months of protests by thousands of Sunni Muslims in western provinces, who accuse his government of marginalising their sect.

Maliki's power-sharing government includes Shi'ites, Sunnis and ethnic Kurds. The Shi'ite premier has offered concessions to protesters, such as releasing detainees held by security forces and modifying laws Sunnis say are used to target them.

The wave of attacks was the latest sign of a campaign that has escalated since the start of the year and had heightened the risk of wider inter-communal violence in the OPEC country.

Islamic State of Iraq and other Sunni Islamist groups have carried out at least one major assault a month since the last U.S. troops left in December 2011. But since January, more than ten suicide bombers have struck different targets.

Without Root, why can I pull a specific apk using adb, but not everything in /data/app. Android 4+?

It's a "permission and privacy" thing. While the .apk does not have any privacy concerns involved (and thus can give read permission to everyone), the data do, and thus the directory is only readable by owner, group, and root (not by "other", which is what you would need -- "other" has only eXecute permissions).

ls -l / | grep data drwxrwx--x   25 system   system  4096 Jan 28 17:51 data 

Which means: Specifying the file directly, you can pull it (as it has the required file permissions, and the directory permits you to cd into due to the set eXecute bit). Specifying the directory instead fails, as this would require to change (cd) into the directory (which works) and build a list of files contained -- which is impossible due to the missing read permission on the directory entry itself.

Create Game Jam declares its winners, picks the cream of the OUYA crop (video)

Kill Screen wanted to jumpstart OUYA game development with its Create Game Jam, and it turns out that there were more than a few takers -- 165, to be exact. That makes the grand prize winner, FreeLives' Strange Happenings on Murder Island, something special. The top-down action game's dinosaur rampages and Minecraft-like art were wild enough to earn the developer $20,000 and a head start in what's increasingly becoming a crowded field. Other developers weren't entirely left out, as winners in specialized categories still received $5,000 each. There's no guarantee that the results of Create will resonate with gamers in the long run; if they lead to a better selection for an untested console, though, they'll have been worth the effort.

Murdock: National debt burdens U.S. today, tomorrow

NEW YORK ? Fiscal conservatives unwittingly sabotage themselves by warning that the $16.5 trillion national debt will impoverish America?s children and deliver unborn grandkids directly into Chinese slavery. While these dire predictions may come true, calling America?s massive indebtedness a challenge for future generations triggers relaxation about an immediate priority: curtailing federal spending and borrowing. By defending ?the children,? budget hawks let big spenders invoke Scarlett O?Hara to justify their profligacy, at least until the tykes mature. ?Cut the budget later,? spendthrifts propose. ?Tomorrow is another day.?

Unfortunately, annual deficits and the accumulated national debt are harming American adults right now.

Uncle Sam is a morbidly obese glutton with a bottomless appetite. Once he has waddled away from the buffet table, little remains for everyone else but breadsticks and several drops of soup.

David Malpass, a New York-based economist with Encima Global LLC and a former Reagan administration Treasury official, understands how Washington crowds out private-sector borrowers in order to finance reckless spending and service yesterday?s debt.

Back in December 2009, Malpass explained in The Wall Street Journal how the Federal Reserve?s purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities caused capital to be ?rationed not on price but on availability and connections. The government gets the most, foreigners second, Wall Street and big companies third, with not much left over.? Consequently, Malpass added, ?for small businesses and new workers, capital rationing is devastating, spelling business failures and painful layoffs. Thousands of startups won?t launch due to credit shortages, in part because the government and corporations took more credit than they needed. ...?

Three years hence, the conditions that Malpass lamented linger like an unshakable low-grade flu. Between the end of September 2011 and the same date in 2012, total outstanding federal debt grew 12.3 percent, while corporate debt expanded by 5.9 percent. Among noncorporate businesses, it fell 1.2 percent. For households, it dropped 1.9 percent. This is anomalous, Malpass notes, since ?small-business credit has usually expanded at a faster rate than corporate credit.?

This is a stunning plunge in lending to entrepreneurs and small businesses ? the twin engines of job creation. ?Credit markets once provided $300 billion to $550 billion net new credit per quarter to the nonfinancial private sector,? Malpass recently observed. ?This helped fund new investment, inventories and other working capital needs. ... Private-sector credit increased only a net $66 billion in the third quarter of 2012.?

Why should banks risk capital on innovative new companies with brilliant ideas when Washington dutifully repays interest and principle on those boring old savings bonds ? albeit with freshly printed cash?

And what happens when Uncle Sam devours most of the smorgasbord?

Unemployment reaches 7.9 percent, while the economy contracts 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. Rather than hire people and expand operations, business managers bite their nails and fret that paying off the debt will unleash a stampede of new taxes.

Touchingly oblivious to all of this, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California recently told ?Fox News Sunday?: ?It is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem.?

If only Washington had a spending problem; it has a spending addiction. Congress and the White House should go cold turkey and terminate antiquated and destructive programs and agencies (e.g., depart the housing sector). From environmentally mundane Western acreage to empty office buildings, federal assets should be privatized. Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries should face affluence tests. Also, the eligibility age of 65 to 67 should acknowledge that life expectancy is not 62 (as in 1935, when Social Security began) nor 70 (as in 1965, when Medicare commenced). Americans now typically stick around for 79 years.

With all due affection for the children and grandchildren, they eventually will feel the wrath of Obama?s (so far) 55.5 percent national debt hike. Meanwhile, trillion-dollar annual deficits, rampant borrowing and the $16.5 trillion national debt are punishing American individuals, families and businesses today.
