CARLSBAD, NM, July 07, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Carlsbad Department of Development (CDOD) recently honored several leaders in the community at their annual dinner. Businesses were recognized in several areas, including housing development, retail impact, volunteerism, and education. Stan Power of Tessenderlo Kerley Services, Inc. (TKS) received the Corporate Investment Award for keeping his business in Carlsbad.
At one point recently, TKS was faced with the prospect of leaving Carlsbad due to insufficient operating space. The CDOD, in conjunction with the City of Carlsbad, set out to assist Power with this problem. Power worked with both the CDOD and the City to find a suitable location for his expansion, which was found in the Carlsbad Airport Industrial Park (CAIP). After working with the City to secure an agreement to acquire the property, he moved forward with an aggressive building plan and was completed with his project in less than a year.
"We really didn't want to see TKS leave, and we were very concerned with losing the jobs TKS provides our community," said John Waters, executive director of the CDOD. "The situation has worked out perfectly for all parties involved, and we are lucky to have Stan and TKS in Carlsbad."
TKS' qualified staff of engineers and fabrication personnel work closely with the plant locations to keep abreast of cutting-edge technology in fertilizer solutions and process chemicals production. Their experience ranges from plant design in new construction to improving the efficiency of existing facilities. TKS has been designing and constructing processing plants for the refining, gas processing and petrochemical industries since 1982. Their projects include both grassroots plants and plant modifications or expansions. They maintain an ASME and NBIC certified shop of U, R and S code stamps in their fabrication department.
Since relocating to the CAIP, Power has increased production and added 55 new jobs to his operation. Prior to the move, TKS averaged one refinery per year which accounted for a respectable $12-20 million in annual revenue. After the move in January 2011, TKS has constructed and is in the process of building 4 new refineries for Tessenderlo Kerley (TKI) in places like Nevada and Oklahoma, and has increased revenue to approximately $100 million annually.

New Federal Authority Over Unsafe "Reincarnated" Carriers
2012-07-07
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration may soon take action against commercial trucking carriers known as "chameleon" or "reincarnated" carriers.
These carriers are able to disassociate themselves from their poor safety records and even avoid paying penalties simply by changing their company names. To become a "reincarnated" carrier, a company closes shop and then reincorporates as a different legal entity, with only superficial changes to the actual business. In many cases, the purpose is to avoid public safety supervision and ...

The presence of antitrust laws in the American business market helps to promote competition in the marketplace. This niche of law prohibits a variety of practices that could lead to monopolies or otherwise restrain trade. It fosters the competition that benefits consumers by leading to lower prices ...
Governmental Oversight of Potentially Dangerous Medical Devices
2012-07-07
Public and scientific criticism is growing that governmental oversight of medical devices being implanted in Americans is insufficient, often allowing downright dangerous devices to harm patients. Medical-device safety is imperative because some like defibrillators, pacemakers and heart valve rings are literally life sustaining.
Even if a device does not directly prolong life, if it does not safely, reliably and effectively perform its intended function, a patient may be catastrophically injured, sometimes permanently. Recent controversial medical devices known to have ...

The Danger of Rollover Accidents
2012-07-07
Rollover accidents pose the greatest risk of injury to drivers and occupants of trucks and SUVs. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) the number of serious injuries increases 33 percent when a car rolls over in a crash. When this happens, tremendous pressure is forced on passengers' heads and necks, thereby causing debilitating injuries. The NHTSA reports that 280,000 rollover accidents occur each year, and that 10,000 people die in these crashes annually.
Rollover accidents are most common in sport utility vehicles and other ...
Failing Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacements Get New FDA Review
2012-07-07
An artificial hip replacement consists of a prosthetic ball attached to the top of the femur which fits inside a socket implanted into the hip bone. While both the ball and socket can be composed of several materials, in artificial hips implanted into more than half a million Americans, both components are made out of metal.
Metal-on-metal hip implants have caused a variety of problems for patients. Yet, despite the proliferation of products liability lawsuits and even recalls of certain devices -- including DePuy brand artificial hips that had been implanted in patients ...
Truck Drivers Using More Drugs Behind the Wheel
2012-07-07
We all trust airplane pilots, semi-truck drivers, subway operators and ship crews to be hyper-vigilant while flying, driving or sailing. To ensure their safety and ours, these "safety-sensitive workers" are federally required to submit to random drug and alcohol tests. The goal is to keep them sober and alert, while keeping everyone else around them alive.
Unfortunately, a new study shows an increase in illegal drug use among these workers, putting the rest of us in danger for truck accidents and other serious crashes.
