Carmen Commercial Real Estate - Real Estate Market Recovery ?

I am sharing some interesting facts and figures here from our friends at JLL regarding some signs of recovery in the very lackluster real estate market?.finally!? Always notable is the fact that during the economic downturn, little to no new commercial space was being added to the market, which will factor into the rate of recovery since demand will likely outpace supply.? If you have not had your lease reviewed by a real estate professional, or are getting within 2 years to 18 months of your lease expiration, now would be the time to consider your options!? CARMEN Commercial Real Estate Services would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Fruit Ninja updated, new multiplayer capabilities added

Android Central

The fruit-slashing favourite, Halfbricks' Fruit Ninja, has received an update today that brings with it some pretty nice new multiplayer features. 

The "pomegranate" update is now live in the Google Play Store. The multiplayer options are now available using both local and online multiplayer services. At first glance, it seems to work really well too. You can choose who you want to play against, or swipe over the quick match option to be taken to a random opponent. 

Beyond this, as with any good update we also get some bug fixes too. There is a compatibility update for a small number of devices that were experiencing a "minor audio bug." 

Download links are after the break. Note though that this update is only for the paid version of the application.

Get with the times: You're driving all wrong

New Jersey Department of Transportation

Most driving guidelines ? including those now issued by AAA and most state transportation agencies ? now say you should lightly grip the wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions.

By M. Alex Johnson, msnbc.com

If you're a conscientious motorist who still does everything the way your driver's-ed instructor told you to, you're doing it all wrong.


Steve Jefferson of NBC station WTHR of Indianapolis and Meredith Land of NBC station KXAS of Dallas contrinuted to this report by M. Alex Johnson of msnbc.com. Follow M. Alex Johnson on Twitter and Facebook.


For decades, the standard instruction was that drivers should hold the steering wheel at the 10 and 2 positions, as envisioned on a clock. This, it turns out, is no longer the case. In fact,?driving that way could cost you your arms or hands in particularly gruesome ways if your airbag deploys.

Instead AAA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and many driving instructors now say you should grip the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock. A few go even further, suggesting 8 and 4 to avoid the airbag mechanism as much as possible, but what formal research has been published on the varieties of hand positions suggests that this may lessen your control of the car.


Safer cars make old-school ways dangerous
In its latest guidelines for effective steering, distributed by state and private driving instructors nationwide, the American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association advises that "recommendations relative to hand position on the steering wheel have become more flexible."

As cars have become safer over the years, "the steering wheel and associated mechanisms (have) changed dramatically," it says, meaning the familiar driving maneuvers "needed to turn the wheel have all changed." Principal among the changes is the incorporation of airbag modules in the steering column, which are designed to deploy upward to protect your head and chest.


Where to put your hands Driver

The American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association, the trade group for driving instructors, goves this advice:

? Both hands should be placed outside of the steering wheel on opposite sides.

? Your grip should be firm, yet gentle.

? Use your fingers instead of the palms of your hands and keep your thumbs up along the face of the steering wheel.

? Never turn the wheel while gripping it from the inside of its rim.


That means the higher up the wheel your hands are, the more likely they are to be directly over the plastic cover when it opens ? that is, when superhot nitrogen gas flashes and inflates the bag at 150 to 250 mph.

Among the injuries the NHTSA reports from improper placement of the hands when an airbag deploys are amputations of fingers or entire hands, traumatic fractures and a particularly stomach-churning injury called "degloving," which ? trust us ? you definitely don't want to look up.

AAA says the bags can also slam your hands directly into your head, causing broken noses and concussions.

"If the bag is going to go, it's going to take my hand and put it into my face ? either one of my hands," Bob Hendrickson, head of AAA's network of driving schools in central Indiana, told NBC station WTHR of Indianapolis.

Experts also say new research in ergonomics suggests that what's called "parallel position" makes for safer driving in general.

Parallel position "improves stability by lowering the body's center of gravity and reduces unintended and excessive steering wheel movement which is a primary cause of young driver fatalities," the Texas Department of Public Safety says in guidelines for new drivers (.pdf).

In plain English, that means "9 and 3," said Dallas police Sgt. Paul Hinton, who teaches law enforcement officers how to drive safely in emergencies like highway chases or when facing a wrong-way driver.

"That way I can go 180 degrees (one way), 180 degrees back the other way and then back to center," Hinton told NBC station KXAS of Dallas. "That's the way I'm going to be able to change lanes (safely)."

One other thing
You're also turning wrong. That ship captain's-style "hand over hand" thing is now out.

Instead, you're supposed to "push-pull" ? that is, push the wheel up with one hand and pull it down with the other, without crossing over.

The reason is the same, State Farm's auto insurance division says in its guidelines for beginning drivers:

"Hand-over-hand maneuvers during turning should be avoided to prevent arms from being in front of a deploying airbag in the event of a crash. Serious injuries may result during such occurrences."

US joins search for Earhart after photo analysis

Seventy-five years after the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is lending her support to a new investigation into the mystery surrounding the famed aviator's final flight. NBC's Chris Jansing reports.

By NBC News, msnbc.com staff and news services

WASHINGTON -- Following new analysis of a photo that could show wreckage of Amelia Earhart's plane, the Obama administration on Tuesday said it was?backing a search?this summer?to?hopefully solve the mystery of America's greatest female aviator.

"We can be as optimistic and even?audacious as Amelia Earhart," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., to announce U.S. support for the expedition. "There is great honor?and possibility in the search itself."


The search by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery will focus on the remote island of Nikumaroro, in what is now the Pacific nation of Kiribati.

The group believes Earhart and her navigator?Fred Noonan might have managed to land on the island, then known as Gardner Island, and that they could have survived for a short time after disappearing on July 2, 1937.

Other historians believe they crashed into the ocean. But conspiracy theories, including claims that they were U.S. government agents captured by the Japanese before World War II, abound despite having been largely debunked.

The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery

This 1937 photo was presented Tuesday as having been analyzed by experts to reveal an object in the water, not easily visible at this scale, showing what might be the landing gear and a wheel from an aircraft.

New analysis of a photo taken at Nikumaroro three months after the disappearance?shows what some people believe could be a strut and wheel of the plane protruding from the water, the group says. State Department analysts helped examine the photo.

The hypothesis is that the plane crashed on a reef before eventually being washed deeper into the sea.

The group hopes that probes down the reef slope will reveal larger aircraft parts such as the engines lying in a dim "twilight zone" about 300 yards below the ocean surface.

A photo taken just three months after Earhart disappeared may provide new evidence of famed aviator's plight. The group that plans to conduct the deepwater search believes her airplane is still recoverable. NBC's Chris Jansing reports.

Renowned oceanographer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreckage of the Titanic and the Bismarck and is advising the Earhart expedition, said the new analysis of the photograph could be the equivalent of a "smoking gun" as it narrows the search area from tens of thousands of square miles to a manageable size.

In 2010, bone fragments were found on the island that the group believes might be of Earhart or Noonan. Other artifacts have been recovered there as well that suggest the two might have lived for days or weeks after landing on a reef.

The privately funded?group is putting up $500,000 for the search. The U.S. won't provide money but will?offer limited logistical support. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood joined Clinton at the ceremony.

Ric Gillespie, the executive director of the group, said the new search is scheduled to last for 10 days in July and will use state-of-the-art underwater robotic submarines and mapping equipment. The Discovery Channel will film the expedition for a television documentary, he said. He acknowledged that the evidence was circumstantial but "strong" but stopped well short of predicting success.

Discovery of bones and other artifacts on a remote island have proven inconclusive in the search of famed pilot Amelia Earhart. NBC's Janet Shamlian has the story.

"The most important thing is not whether we find the ultimate answer or what we find, it is the way we look," he said. "We see this opportunity to explore ... the last great American mystery of the 20th century as a vehicle for demonstrating how to go about figuring out what is true."

"Back in 1937, in the painful recovery from the Great Depression, Amelia Earhart's courage and determination inspired the American people," he added. "Well, hard times are here again and we need that type of courage and determination again ... we're going to try our best to find her, not for ourselves, but for you," the public.

Details about the planned expedition
Explainer: Earhart and other famous mysteries

The expedition will coincide with the 75th anniversary of Earhart's departure on the ill-fated attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world.

NBC's Catherine Chomiak and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

More than 70 years after Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific during her around-the-world flight, documents and photos are being released that shed new light on one of aviation's greatest mysteries. NBC's Chuck Henry reports.
