‘Tillage farmers must get better at managing risk’

UCD agronomy specialist Dr Tom McCabe told delegates attending the recent Alltech Crop Science seminar that achieving the highest levels of productivity through consistent excellence in crop management remains the key goal for every Irish tillage farmer.

“Yes, grass is our most important crop and there is tremendous potential to improve our grassland productivity. However, wheat yields 20 tonne per hectare are achievable in the future,” he explained

“At the present time, however, wheat yields are plateauing around the world. Possibly, this is due, in part, to the years of tricky weather that North Western Europe has been endured, going back to 2007. However, it is expected that the recent slow-down in the technological developments associated with wheat production will be reversed over the coming years.

“In contrast, new technologies and genetics are delivering for crops such as Oilseed Rape and winter barley. The reality is that winter rape crops have the potential to deliver yields of up to five tonnes per hectare.

“We should be growing more rape in this country. But for some reason, it is a crop which local tillage farmers in this country do not like growing.”

He said that most Irish cereal growers regard 1984 as the high water mark from a production point of view. And the good news is that we may well be on track to enjoy another record year in 2014, where yields are concerned.

“I have walked a number of wheat and barley crops over recent weeks. Yes, disease pressure was high during that changeable period of weather in May. However, the recent dry spell has helped boost crops’ yield potential immensely.”

Looking to the future, Tom McCabe believes that the consistent application of high level management systems will be the key driver for tillage farming in Ireland.

“Farmers must be in a position to deal with variations in yield from year to year. Price fluctuation will be another challenge to contend with. High periods of low prices are not unknown. In fact, good yields but lower prices may well be the main outcome of this year’s harvest,” he suggested.

The UCD crops specialist pointed out that weather plays a key role in determining yields in countries around the world. “On the whole, Ireland has a good climate to grow crops such as wheat, barley, oats and potatoes. We have excellent tillage soils in many areas. The weaknesses associated with crop production in this country include our high production costs and the fact that such a high proportion of our crops are grown on rented land.”

Commenting on the agronomic challenges now confronting Irish tillage farmers, Tom said that growers need to include more non cereal break crops in their rotations and added:

“Weed and disease control are fast becoming crisis issues on many farms. Black Grass in the UK is a horror scenario. No effective control measures are now available. And here in Ireland Sterile Broom is a growing control management issue.

“Where crop disease prevention chemistries are concerned, again we are running out of options. The number of management tools available to growers is fast diminishing with fungal resistance now the real challenge that confronts us.

“We need to look at integrated pest management strategies that can be implemented over a ten year period. And within this scenario farmers may well have to accept the reality that maintaining crop diseases at manageable levels is the future!”

WATCHMEN’s Janey Slater Joins Syfy Superhero Pilot ALPHAS!!

I am – Hercules!! The girl who played both the young and old Janey Slater (Dr. Manhattan's pre-Silk Spectre girlfriend in Zack Snyder’s brilliant “Watchmen”) has joined Syfy’s superhero pilot “Alphas.” Her superpower is she's superhot and can bend people to her will. Look! Press release!
MALIK YOBA AND LAURA MENNELL JOIN THE CAST OF SYFY'S ALPHAS Yoba Portrays the Fiery Bill Harken and Mennell Portrays the Seductive Nina Theroux in 90-Minute Pilot Directed by Lost's Jack Bender and Starring Acclaimed Actor David Strathairn New York, New York - July 29, 2010 - Syfy has announced additional casting for its previously announced pilot Alphas, inking actors Malik Yoba and Laura Mennell to co-star in the wry action-adventure project from writers Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Avengers, The Incredible Hulk) and Michael Karnow, it was announced today by Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions, which is the studio for the project. Alphas is executive produced by Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein for BermanBraun Television and will be directed by Jack Bender (director and executive producer of Lost). It is slated to commence production next month in Toronto. Alphas follows a team of ordinary citizens whose brain anomalies imbue them with extraordinary mental and physical abilities. Taking the law into their own hands, the unlikely team, led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) investigates cases that suggest other Alpha activity to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon have not been able or willing to solve. These gifted individuals must balance their quirky personalities and disparate backgrounds with their not always visible powers as they work to solve crimes, stop the ticking time bomb and catch the enemy. Yoba plays Alphas team member Bill Harken, a former FBI agent from working class roots. Harken's Alpha skill allows him to intentionally activate a "fight-or-flight mechanism" producing a power surge of adrenaline giving him increased strength, speed and immunity from pain. Mennell plays the complicated Alpha team member Nina Theroux. Seductive, intelligent and confident, Nina's Alpha ability allows her to influence people into doing whatever she wishes but her power can sometimes spin out of control. Her skill also comes with a personal drawback in that she can never be sure if anyone's feelings for her are real. Nina was the first team member enlisted by Dr. Rosen to whom she remains extremely loyal. "Malik and Laura are perfect additions to an already impressive ensemble cast. They both have great intensity and charisma," said Stern. "We look forward to seeing them breathe life into the complex characters of Harken and Nina." Malik Yoba is well known for his co-starring role as NYPD detective J.C. Williams on the popular police drama New York Undercover from 1994 to 1998, and has also appeared in the feature films Why Did I Get Married? (2007), Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010), Cool Runnings (1993) and Criminal (2004). He has made numerous television appearances including on the series Arrested Development as Ice, a bounty hunter whose real love is party planning, and the recurring character Brock Harris on the sitcom Girlfriends. Yoba also appeared in the crime drama Thief and the NBC crime drama Raines, and portrayed astronaut Ted Shaw on the futuristic drama Defying Gravity. Malik Yoba is represented by Kieran Maguire of The Arlook Group and Steve Muller at Innovative Artists. Laura Mennell is a Canadian actress best known for her portrayal of Janey Slater in the feature film Watchmen, Lily Mercy in television movie Montana Sky (2007) and the Emmy nominated television movie Flight 93 (2006), which chronicled the events aboard United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Laura Mennell is represented by Vicki Petronio-King for Play Management Inc. Leading the cast will be critically lauded actor David Strathairn, who earned rave reviews and received Best Actor Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild (SAG), and Academy Award nominations for his portrayal of Edward R. Murrow in the film Good Night, and Good Luck. Strathairn plays the unconventional, eccentric Alphas team leader Dr. Lee Rosen. Though he comes across as somewhat of an absent-minded professor at times, he is also a cunning and manipulative power-player willing to bend the rules in pursuit of his objectives and in support of his Team.

    Watchmen Was Very Good, And Highly Underrated!!!

    by Media Messiah

    I hated 300, as it was racist, and was just a very weak movie--a film, that was successful, only thanks to the hype--and Sucker Punch looks like it is as much of a mess, if not more, than 300. As for Watchmen, it was a wonderful production, however, I could have used less of the slo-mo fights, as they are just tired, and over used in movies.

Further, I wish the film had more nudity, more graphic sex, and, it felt a bit too safe at times, because the studio was worried about the film rating. That aside, the film was very well done.

    Yeah, Snyder's Watchmen WAS awesome.

    by polyh3dron

    Most people I know who hated it hated it for things that were present in the GN like how Dr Manhattan was naked.

  • July 30, 2010, 3:25 a.m. CST

    Actually, I hated Watchmen for different reasons.

    by V'Shael

    Specifically, some rather key deviations from the original graphic novel. Such as the way every seemed super-strong and super-resistant to injury.

However, my brother hadn't read the original GN and he said that sort of stuff didn't bother him, because clearly Adrian had been experimenting with genetics, their tech was different, and he assumed there was unwritten backstory which said Adrian gave his team mates some genetic improvements over regular humans.

In other words, I hated the movie because I had preconceived notions about what it should be, from the graphic novel. But when I put that aside, and watched it as its own creation, it is pretty damn good.

  • July 30, 2010, 4:20 a.m. CST

    I really like the Watchmen movie....(Ultimate Cut)

    by Righteous Brother

    and love the graphic novel. I kind of approach them as two different beasts, like I would with the novel of Moby Dick, and the movie version or any adaptation come to think of it, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep etc etc...... I can understand how some people don't like it, but.......ah man I'm gonna have to watch it again.

    by theGoldbergV

    It would've been better if they'd got rid of that stupid sex scene, re-cast Silk Spectre, toned down the slow-down-sped-up fight sequences and gone all out faithfull to the source material by using the original ending. Having said that, as a fan of the GN, the film is far better than it deserves to be. Of course for non-fans, its almost impenetrable.

  • July 30, 2010, 5:50 a.m. CST

    Yup, you knew this would happen.

    by FluffyUnbound

    The geek worm would turn and WATCHMEN would all of a sudden be beloved.

  • July 30, 2010, 5:50 a.m. CST

    I thought Watchmen was okay.

    Better than some other people give it credit. But I much prefer the motion comic. It's so much better.

  • July 30, 2010, 6:04 a.m. CST

    I loved 90% of Snyder's Watchmen

    by photoboy

    I think the majority of Snyder's Watchmen is an excellent translation of the source material. I think the only flaw is the ending, the lack of the squid was disappointing, and the substitution and framing of Dr Manhattan as the scapegoat was OK but wasn't as clever and audacious as the psychic squid plan.

 I also disliked the shift in tone that painted Ozymandias as a villain. I felt the comics stayed cleverly neutral at the end, leaving everything open to the reader's interpretation. Personally I always agreed with Ozy, from a purely practical perspective, the death of the few to benefit the many seems like the right choice.

 Basically everything in the film is pretty excellent right up to the point they reach Karnak, (which also disappointed by not having the tropical bio-dome in the middle of the Arctic). After that point, I think the film could have benefited from sticking to the source material.

 Still, I do really enjoy watching it, it's just a pity they didn't quite have the balls to keep the original ending.

  • July 30, 2010, 7:13 a.m. CST

    Holy Hell

    by Argentino

    You're probably right, but I could say the same thing about the comic itself. People insist that it's high literature, while it's just a (revolutionary) super hero comic book. Anyway, I LOVED the movie. My girlfriend hates the genre and loved it too. The change in the ending was a clever solution. The only weak link was Mathew Goode as Ozymandias. I have the urge to fast forward his scenes when I watch the movie. He's just a skiny Bond villain from the first scene, instead of the perfect all american hero who reveals his intentions in the end. Now, the Director's Cut was totally uneven. Rorschach scene with the cops made no sense. Nite Owl I's dead was AWESOME, but the scene preseding it (the gang on the street) had the worst acting I've seen in the last years). All in all, if I recomend the movie to a friend, I go for the theatrical version.

  • July 30, 2010, 8:37 a.m. CST

    WATCHMEN Ultimate Cut is an underrated accomplishment

    by SpyGuy

    Over twenty years of back and forth studio and casting shenanigans and Zack Snyder finally films the "unfilmable." And despite hardcore fanboys deriding its mere existence, the film actually turns out to be an entertaining, mostly-faithful adaptation deserving far more love than it gets.

  • July 30, 2010, 8:41 a.m. CST

    by Doctor Manhattan

    Herc, are you nuts? The comics were brilliant. The movie made me want to cry. With the exception of some key scenes, like the origin of Dr. Manhattan, all the Rorschach stuff, and anything with the Comedian, the movie was drek. The sex scene with Hallelujah playing in the background? Adrian being a complete fop, and the altered ending all made me cringe. I would have preferred it having never been made.

  • July 30, 2010, 9:06 a.m. CST

    It sounds like...

    by D_T

    ...they're going with powers that aren't as "FX intensive", which is probably a good idea. Also by keeping the capabilities toned down, they could make it a little more "edgy" and they might be able to create some tension (vs. time travel, every-power-in-the-book, etc.)

    by daggor

    Still after all this time peope go on about the squid

    by MurderMostFowl

    ( read that in the Ziodberg voice )

 Folks, the Squid ending would have been ridiculous. Taking "super hero" issues so seriously as the material does ( sex scene, etc ) the film is already balancing on the edge of knife in believability. Snyder managed to pull of a very skillful ending that makes a lot more sense than the squid.

  • July 30, 2010, 9:15 a.m. CST

    Yeah, I prefer the theatrical one...

    by Billyeveryteen

    My problem is with the very end. "Nothing ever ends." should have come from Doc Bluedong, shaming Ozzy. Rorschach's death should've been unwitnessed.
Oh and Janey in those garters? I'd unleash my comedian too.

    by Courtjezter

    I have said this before, but if you want a super hero drama then give this British show a go. Bunch of young offenders get caught in a storm which imbues them with super powers. The scope is kept small, so no world threatening stuff, but very funny. Imagine if someone decent had written Heroes, with a smaller scope and put it on HBO. That is all

  • July 30, 2010, 9:57 a.m. CST

    Watchmen was underrated, but it's not for everyone

    by ricarleite2

    I totally understand why some people hated it. While it's not "squidly" faithful to the original and some of the content interpretation was really misguided - specially everything related to Ozymandias - it is a FINE piece of art, complex and full of detail, in a day and age in which such films are MIRACLE events. It is a complex, character-driven and long R-rated comic book film filled with references, with excelent mise en scene details and correctly set in the 1980s - the fact this was produced nowadays is really a fucking miracle. Watchmen is not a movie for the regular film-goer to appreciate. It's made for the fans to appreciate this story with a different setting and interpretation.

    Brilliant Watchmen??? Really?

    by onezeroone

    There was nothing in that movie that made me disagree with Alan Moore. A live action comic is NOT a movie adaptation of a comic. WATCHMEN movie should have been for superhero movies what the comic was for superhero comics. THAT is why it isn't brilliant. It is good, solid and faithful, but brilliant, it is not.

    WATCHMEN was 90% faithful to the comic.

    by MCVamp

    Which doesn't make it a "brilliant" movie. It was serviceable. But like SIN CITY, it was too slavishly beholden to the original dialogue.

 In a comic where there were no more than 10-12 static images per page, you need that extensive exposition to get into the characters' heads and convey emotion, history, and motivations. In a movie, a good director and actors can put an entire paragraph of emotion into a single frame of film. This is where Snyder stuck to the book too religiously.

Instead of adapting one storytelling method to another method, he used the comic as a literal template without adding subtlety or nuance, and in fact hamfisting his way through at least half the movie (albeit with good intentions.) I think what it boils down to is that Snyder may be able to make a movie scene damn near mirror what's on the comics page, he may not be able to translate it in a way that successfully transforms it from one brilliant form of art to another.

Does that make sense? I can't think of a good analogy...maybe it's the equivalent of reading a novelization of a movie based on a novel? Or of filming a stage production and releasing it as a movie? Or a band having a concert where they just play their songs in album order exactly the same as they were originally recorded without stopping to talk or improvising?

Listen, I'm a big fan of the graphic novel myself, and everything that was changed or altered was done so in the best possible way. Do you people realize just how bad Watchmen COULD have been? The film retained the feel & overall point of the comic, and that's all we could have ever asked anyway. The opening credits with "The Times They Are A Changin'"...fucking brilliant. It still gives me goosebumps.

    I'm actually cringing that Strathairn is in this X-Men/Heroes/Fringe/X-Files rubbish. We've seen this a zillion times already. Yawn.

    AMEN to that Sulla

    I'm liking the WATCHMEN love from this board.

    Sulla: Agree and you prove "haters' point.

    by onezeroone

    What knocks the movie down for me isn't lack of squid, but it was moer a recreation of comic than an adaptation. For me best part of the movie was that "The Times They Are A Changin" montage and guess what, it wasn't a literal recreation of the comic.

    Watchmen is by far the most brilliant

    by Amadeo Zeller

    graphic novel adaptation to date. I think in a few years, it'll be required viewing for future aspiring film students.

    Watchmen was (near) Brilliant

    by Stalkeye

    Some of you dweebs are NEVER satisfied. What, no giant squid?Didnt like the slo-mo? Got excited seeing Manhattan's Blue Balls?
Seriously, I give Snyder props for cramming as much as he could within 2 1/2 hours without straying too far from the source material and if you ask me, it's the best of all Moore's adaptation surpassing V for Vendetta, From Hell and especially League of Extrodinary Gentlemen.
 So fucking there.

    Zak Penn is a terrible writer

    by Rollo Tomassi

    when I saw the name David Srtathhairn I was intrigued, but Penn is right up there with Shyamalan on this list of names that suck out my enthusiasm. I'd rather see Joel Schumacher take over EVERY superhero property than Zak Penn involved in even one. His "X-Men 3" and "Incredible Hulk" nearly destroyed my love of superheros.

    No it won't be another 4400

    by Mr_Satan

    That was brilliant. My wife and I watched it every Sunday. Till U.S.A decided to cancel it. Then fucking heroes showed up. And I thought "yay!" 4400 light. And I was right.

  • July 31, 2010, 1:41 p.m. CST

    4400 was decent but it was NEVER brilliant!

    Watchmen question

    by Stunt Vocalist 709

    I have only seen bits of the graphic novel and never saw the movie. (just never got around to it)
Here's my question: Should I watch the "Ultimate Cut" extended version or just watch the original theatrical release version?
Thanks to anyone who helpfully answers.

    More on topic, doesn't this sound A LOT like "Mutant X"?

    by DarkHawke

    That sloppy, trashy, flavor-of-the-week mutant series that was watchable only because of the excessively pretty cast? Save that the team leader doesn't seem to be responsible for the powers of the team, it reads real close.
 As far as Watchmen goes, it was a very well executed adaptation of the comic book, but ultimately it played as a flawed period piece. We know how the Cold War turned out; the good guys won, and there was no need for some faux crisis to "unify the world." And on that point, the original book and the movie share a third-grader's understanding of both the Soviet Union and geopolitics. Despite the thoroughly irrational and trumped-up fears of the time, adamant strength and determination in the face of evil was what won the day, not pollyanna notions of cooperation or appeasement (read: capitulation).

  • Aug. 1, 2010, 6:41 p.m. CST

    by MCVamp

    I don't completely disagree, but when you throw in a living American god like Dr. Manhattan, President-for-Life Richard Nixon, and the USA steamrolling Vietnam into the 51st State, you have a completely different Cold War. Besides that, we have the benefit of hindsight. The end of the Cold War was not apparently visible in the early 80's (when the book was conceived.)

Furthermore, it wasn't necessarily "strength in the face of evil" that defeated Soviet Communism. It was the weary realization that the system of Communism at its core is simply too flawed to work anywhere outside of an isolated collective farm. You cannot run countries the way you run a commune. Free will and basic human ego are too much of an obstacle, and rightly so.

The only way to "successfully" run a Communist country is to make sure your citizens know exactly what will happen if they buck the status quo...they get run over by tanks in the middle of the town square.

    "300....was racist"

    by bah

    Sort of. It's a matter of the narrator. The entire movie is a story being told by a Spartan to his army to get them riled for another battle with the Persians. So naturally, they're depicted as evil and inhuman. It will be very interesting to see if the "racism" carries over into the new Xerxes project.

    Jenny Slater - Laura Mennell - uberhot!!!

    by tgmplayer

    I know I'm not the only one who got off on Jenny Slater's looks in that movie - I'd rather see her in a love scene than that other superhero chick from watchmen. when is alphas going to be on tv? I want to see it for Laura Mennell alone... she's uberhot...

The Mooney M20 is mainly used for personal civil use. It was introduced to the aviation market in 1955 by Mooney Airplane Company. In 2008, TheMooney Aircraft Company ended its production of the M20. The production halt was mainly due to the slow times and recession. The Mooney M20 is a propelled by a piston engine and it features a tricycle landing gear. There have been a lot of variants of the original M20 over the past fifty years. These variants consisted of the wooden wing M20 all the way through the model M20TN. The Mooney M20 for salein the 1960’s was made out of all metal, unlike its wooden predecessor. All M20 models stored their fuel in two different fuel tanks known as wet wing tanks. The fuel flowed directly from the gas tanks to the carburetor or fuel injectors by an engine driven fuel pump. The engine driven pump was also backed by an electric boos pump. This aircraft seated a total of four people. The length of the Mooney was almost 27 feet long and it had a wing span of 36.5 feet. The Mooney M20 was very comparable to the Cirrus SR22. If you have been looking for a new or used Mooney for sale, you’ve come to the right website. Please take a look at our extensive inventory of Mooney for sale below.

Real estate market forecast sees softening in Anchorage

Anchorage’s commercial and residential real estate market looks to be relatively stable this year, although some softening is expected.

Local realtors and brokers gave their best estimates for different segments of the Anchorage bowl real estate market at the annual Building Owners and Manager’s Association forecast luncheon Dec. 8.

The overall office vacancy rate for Class A office space is projected to rise, on average, from 6.8 percent in 2015 to about 7.6 percent in 2016, but Anchorage is still doing well compared with the national average office vacancy a rate of 13.4 percent average, Per Bjorn-Roli, with Reliant LLC, told those at the BOMA luncheon.

Lease rates are expected to remain stable 2016, at an average of $2.95 per square foot for all types of properties, Bjorn-Roli said.

“The market will be a little softer, however, and tenants will be well positioned to ask for concessions like free rent periods and property improvements,” he said. “This happened in 2011, too,” when the local market was coming out of a mild downturn.

About 157,000 square feet of new office space was added in 2015 in the Anchorage area with much of that in the Cook Inlet Region Inc. and Kuukpik Corp. new buildings in Anchorage’s Midtown. However, 30,000 square feet of the 157,000 square feet of space added in 2015 was absorbed by market growth, he said.

Class A office space Downtown is actually tighter now than a year ago, he said, with 2.7 percent of space vacant now compared with 2.9 percent a year ago. In Anchorage’s Midtown, however, the vacancy rate for Class A space is up to 10.3 percent from 6.3 percent a year ago, with this mainly due to the CIRI and Kuukpik building additions, Bjorn-Roli said.

Meanwhile, no major new commercial office projects are planned for 2016 and that should basically keep the market steady, with normal growth gradually absorbing the vacant space available.

However, if the Legislature really follows through with its threat to cancel the lease on the new Legislative Information Office building on 4th Avenue it would open up a large block of Downtown space. Legislators are interested in moving the Anchorage  legislative offices to the state-owned Atwood Building on 7th Avenue, but this issue is far from settled.

Many features of the new LIO building were custom-ordered by legislators, and that could impose conversion costs if there are new tenants.

Bjorn-Roli said the financial shortfalls affecting state government won’t have any immediate effects on the commercial office space market because the state has the cash reserves to buffer shortfalls, at least for the next two years.

“We see a two-year window for cuts and adjustments,” he said. “However, there is a dramatic increase in the ‘concern’ index.”

But there is time for the adjustments and any impacts will be spread out.

“State spending is a major driving force in the office market,” Bjorn-Roli said, so the magnitude of budget cuts will be watched closely.

What may also cause effects would be reductions in oil and gas industry activity, but it’s hard to forecast this. BP has announced a workforce reduction, for example, but BP owns its office building in Midtown, so the reduction wouldn’t immediately affect the office market, he said.

“We see few effects in 2016 but in 2017 it may become an issue,” he said. “Our conclusion overall is that the Anchorage area office market it healthy and stable, with some softening expected,” Bjorn-Roli said.

It’s a similar story for markets for retail space market, Brandon Spoerhase, with BSI Commercial Real Estate, told those at the BOMA luncheon. Retail space markets are holding steady with lease rates overall averaging $1.55 per square foot in older buildings and a $2.65 per square foot average rate for newly-built space, said Spoerhase.

The fourth quarter 2015 vacancy rate estimated at 5.5 percent compares very favorably with the national average of 11.3 percent, he said.

Retail profit margins continue to be healthy, as demonstrated by national clothing retailer H&M’s 2015 opening in Dimond Center, which was the second most successful in the company’s history, Spoerhase said.

Two major retailers still looking at Anchorage include Whole Foods, the upscale grocery chain, and Victoria’s Secret, the womens’ apparel chain. New arrivals include three national food chains, Smash Burger; Sonic Drive-In, Dave & Busters.

One open space being eyed by national retailers is 40,000 square feet available at the former Carrs’ grocery store space in the Mall at Sears in Anchorage’s Midtown, Spoerhase said.

Meanwhile, major malls like the downtown 5th Avenue mall, Glenn Square and Tikahutnu Commons in northeast Anchorage, have little or no remaining space, Spoerhase said.

“Glenn Square still has a couple of ‘pads’ still available, but the hunt is on for a food retailer that won’t compete with the existing food retail tenants,” Spoerhase said.

The Fifth Avenue Mall is essentially full, and new retail growth has spilled out into adjacent space along 5th and 6th Avenues, he said.

Meanwhile, Pfeffer Development’s U-Med retail development on Alaska Pacific University lands in the Midtown university and medical district is still set for a 2016 or 2017 groundbreaking, Spoerhase said. This is a build-to-suit development project, he said.

Overall, BSI sees no significant change in the retail market in the next 12 months, Spoerhase said.

In commercial construction, a number of small to medium-sized private and institutional new buildings and school projects are planned for 2016, Jonathan Hornak, of Cornerstone General Contractors, told those at the BOMA luncheon. Hornak ticked off a number of medium-sized projects expected to be underway this year, such as a $17 million Anchorage Museum addition. No major new projects are pending, he said.

Four projects in the “rumor” category, which Hornak left unidentified, at least at the BOMA luncheon, include a reported 9,000-square-foot building in Wasilla and three buildings in Anchorage, one 6,000-square-foot facility, a second at 50,000 square feet and a third reported at 60,000 square feet.

Residential real estate meanwhile remains tight, as it has for some time. Speaking to both rentals and homeowner properties, Tyler Robinson, of Cook Inlet Housing Authority, said the apartment vacancy rate in Anchorage remains below 5 percent, but things are looser in the more expensive categories.

“We haven’t seen many effects yet overall,” from low oil prices and tightening state budgets, “but we are starting to see impacts at the higher end of the market,” Robinson told those at the BOMA luncheon.

Rents have been increasing for several years, with the average in 2012 for a two-bedroom apartment at $1,300 a month, up from $800 a month in 2000, he said.

As for single-family homes, the average sales prices today is about $370,000, up from $188,000 in 2000. The tight supply is mainly a factor of inadequate building of housing.

“Studies have indicated we need to be building 900 housing units a year, in all segments of the market, to keep up with demand. We’re actually building about 300 a year, so there’s a shortfall,” that translates to a very tight market, Robinson said.

The Municipality of Anchorage hasn’t been a real help in this because developers get wrapped up in red tape and delays. One major apartment developer has struggled to get permits for a 36-unit project.

In contrast, in other states, developers and working with local governments and nonprofits on a wide variety of projects that are often linked to green space and urban amenities and retail.

Robinson mentioned an Oklahoma City riverwalk project that matched urban recreation and greenspace with mixed urban and retail development in an attractive project. Accomplishing that took partnerships, he said.

In Anchorage, many private developers, “don’t feel welcome,” Robinson said.

Nubra is applied to the region comprising the valley of the river Nubra and that of the Shayok. The route from Leh crosses over the Khardung-la, the highest motorable road in the world at an altitude of 18,300 ft. The view from the top is amazing. One can see all the way south over the Indus valley to the seemingly endless peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range, and north to the giants of the Sasers massif (25000 ft)

The main village is Diskit. From Diskit, the route follows the course of the Shayok to Hundar, past an area of rolling sand dunes. There is a small population of the woolly double-humped Bactrian camels in Hunder which were used as pack animals on the Central Asian trade route, popularly known as 'The Silk Route'. Today visitors to Nubra can use these animals for going on camel safaris. Up the Nubra River and above village Summer, is the last human settlement of Panamik which was once a major trade centre and a resting place for caravans before crossing over the mighty Karakoram pass.

Audi most efficient in the field – facts on the twelfth victory at Le Mans

  • Twelfth Le Mans victory for Audi and fourth victory of the season for the R18
  • 245,000 spectators attended the event
  • Tom Kristensen extends his record with ninth victory

Less fuel consumption combined with higher speed – that’s how Audi won the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours with the R18 e-tron quattro and its drivers Loïc Duval (F), Tom Kristensen (DK) and Allan McNish (GB). Key facts after the 81st running of the race.

Faster and more efficient: The victorious Audi R18 e-tron quattro of Loïc Duval/Tom Kristensen/Allan McNish (F/DK/GB) designated as car number ‘2’ made 34 pit stops at Le Mans and required 47 minutes and 14.799 seconds for them. A permitted fuel tank capacity of 58 litres theoretically made a maximum of 1,972 litres of diesel fuel available at the stops. The number ‘8’ Toyota in second place of the race required 43 minutes and 20.111 seconds for 30 stops but, due to a fuel tank capacity of 76 litres  was able to refuel up to 2,280 litres of gasoline. Audi was not only faster but the entire race car including its TDI powertrain was more efficient as well.

Best efficiency: Audi not only decided the race classification in its favour at Le Mans but the efficiency index as well. Marc Gené/Lucas di Grassi/Oliver Jarvis (E/BR/GB) in car number ‘3’ won the Michelin Green X Challenge ahead of Duval/Kristensen/McNish and the number ‘7’ Toyota.

A full dozen: Audi’s Le Mans debut was in 1999, the squad celebrated its first victory in 2000 and its twelfth in the 2013 season.

Concentrated strength: No other brand had ever before been as successful as Audi in such a short period of time. To date, the brand has won twelve of its 15 runs. This corresponds to a win rate of 80 percent. Audi’s sister brand Porsche has a tally of 16 overall victories. These wins are spread over a period of 28 years between 1970 and 1998. In absolute numbers, Porsche has clinched 16 overall victories at 63 starts.

Powerful performance: Audi engine technology even boasts a win rate of 86.7 percent at Le Mans because a V8 biturbo engine developed by Audi Sport powered the winning race car of Audi’s sister brand Bentley in 2003.

Strong team: Audi has achieved ten of its twelve victories together with Reinhold Joest’s squad. The team based in the Odenwald region had been successful prior to Audi’s entry and has now clinched its 14th triumph at La Sarthe. Furthermore, in terms of personnel, Joest Racing played an instrumental role in Dauer Racing’s victory in 1994 and Bentley’s success in 2003.

Advantage extended: In 2005, Tom Kristensen, on clinching his seventh victory, overtook the six-time winner Jacky Ickx from Belgium on the all-time winners’ list. Now, the Dane has achieved his ninth success. From the circle of the Le Mans drivers who are still active it’s his team-mate Allan McNish that trails him in this classification with a tally of three victories. Statistically, Kristensen’s record can thus be beaten in 2020 at the earliest – but for this to happen, McNish would have to remain active until his 50th year of age, win in all the years between now and then, and no longer run with Tom Kristensen ...

13 trophies: With a track record of 9 victories in 17 runs Tom Kristensen’s success rate at Le Mans amounts to 53 percent. In total, the Dane has been on the podium13 times to date. At four starts, his car did not finish. Thus, ‘Mister Le Mans’ never finished a race in less than third place.

Large crowd: The 90th anniversary of the Le Mans 24 Hours was watched by245,000 spectators on location – 5,000 more than the year before.

20 from 9: The nine Audi factory drivers in the current Le Mans line-up after the most recent success combine 20 victories in the epic endurance race.

Four times 30: For the 30th time a German manufacturer has won the endurance race at La Sarthe. Loïc Duval is the 30th Frenchman who has decided his home race in his favour  Race cars with a closed cockpit and turbocharged engines recorded their 30th victory as well.

29 trophies: Since 1999, Audi has clinched twelve first, six second and eleven third places – equating to 29 podium positions.

Premiere: Loïc Duval made his debut in the podium ranks. The Frenchman was on the Le Mans grid for the fifth time but, until 2013, had never finished in the top three. On achieving his first podium he immediately took victory.

2 turns into 1: Car number ‘2’ won the Le Mans 24 Hours this year. The competition’s history had previously seen a subsequent winner in car number ‘2’ six times, among them an Audi in 2008 and 2011.

Second victory: The Audi R18 e-tron quattro with chassis number ‘302’ previously decided the Silverstone 6 Hours in its favour and has now won the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Third victory: Audi has remained unbeaten in the first three WEC races of the 2013 season at Silverstone, Spa and Le Mans.

Fourth victory: Including the success at the Sebring 12 Hours the Audi R18 has clinched its fourth sports car victory this year.

Eighth victory: For the eighth time since 2006 a race car with diesel power has won the Le Mans 24 Hours. Audi recorded seven of these wins (R10 TDI: 3; R15 TDI: 1; R18 TDI: 1; R18 e-tron quattro: 2).

22nd victory: Michelin, Audi’s tire partner, has achieved the 22nd success on home ground.

64 tires: The victorious number 2 Audi R18 e-tron quattro covered the distance on16 sets of tires. Individual sets of tires were used for up to four stints.

Clear dominance: Whereas there were 19 race leaders last year, there were only six this year. On 344 laps of the 348 ones completed, Audi was running in front. From 21:47 – in other words just before the beginning of the eighth hour of the race – number ‘2’ with Loïc Duval/Tom Kristensen/Allan McNish defended its position at the front of the field.

Another ‘grand slam’ of motorsport: As in 2011 and 2012, Audi recorded the best time in qualifying, the fastest race lap plus overall victory at Le Mans.

New technologies: The digital inside mirror with an AMOLED display and the LED headlights with matrix-beam technology and integrated cornering light are two forward-thinking technologies in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro with the potential of future use in production automobiles.

Successive effect: Since 2010, Audi has won at La Sarthe four times in succession. Only between 2004 and 2008, the brand was even more successful with a string of five wins.

Long neutralisations  Twelve times the safety car took command of the track. This amounted to a total race interruption of five hours and 27 minutes. The year before, the race had only been interrupted for 2:22 hours.

Short distance: These interruptions, combined with the unsteady weather, were the decisive reasons why the winners only covered 348 laps this year. They equate to a distance of 4,742.892 kilometres and an average speed of 197.446 km/h. Ever since Audi has been competing at Le Mans, these numbers were lower only once. Due to heavy rain the race distance in 2001 was only 4,367.2 kilometres for the winners Frank Biela/Tom Kristensen/Emanuele Pirro in the Audi R8.

Eight times on pole: Audi started from the top spot on the grid at Le Mans for the eighth time. Loïc Duval achieved the best time. In the race, André Lotterer drove the fastest lap.

High arrival rate: 42 of the 56 participants that had started the race at Le Mans saw the finish line – in other words exactly three quarters of the field. Last year, the retirement rate of 41 percent was higher by 16 percentage points. At Audi, the retirement rate was 0 percent, the same as last year. All three hybrid sports cars saw the finish.

The right choice: The most hopeful French talents are rewarded with the Prix Jean Rondeau at Le Mans. In 2002, the award went to Benoît Tréluyer and in 2008 to Loïc Duval. Both subsequently became overall winners at Le Mans with Audi.
