The shopping centers are predominately located in the Atlanta, Tampa and Orlando markets, with additional properties located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Maryland. The portfolio generated net operating income of approximately $35.4 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2011 and was 91% occupied as of June 30, 2011.

Molybdenum is generally alloying element with steel in order to make that steel stronger. In fact, when molybdenum is added to even small steel concentrations, the result is an ultra-high-strength steel that will maintain structural stability when placed under pressures reaching as high as 300,000 lbs/sq. in. Theses massive levels of strength do not deteriorate in high temperatures, making steel molybdenum alloys viable materials for missile and aircraft parts.

Biotechnology has been considered with respect to two characteristics: obtaining the best catalyst and the best environment. The most effective, stable and convenient form for the biocatalyst is a whole organism. In most cases, this could be some type of microbe like bacterium, yeast, or mold. Originally, these microorganisms were extracted from the natural environment, but today, scientists can genetically alter these into superior organisms. This is a practice that is being carried out by most biological-based industries and is direct result of the close cooperation between technologists and geneticists.
