Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Monday May 2, 2011, 8:10 am EDT

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/MC-Endeavors-Announces-MOU-bw-363249604.html?x=0&.v=1

MC Endeavors Announces MOU with Seismic Foundation Control for Earthquake Resistant Base Isolator Technology:

Seismic vibration-dampening systems complete the protection of MCE’s Lamisteel residential and small commercial buildings from earthquake damage at an economical cost.

Seismic Foundation Control, Inc. - Services:

http://www.seismicfoundation.com/services

Seismic Foundation system supports the house and absorbs the shock of an earthquake thus significantly reducing damage during an earthquake.



"Quake Guard: Durable Foundation Support and Reliable Family Protection" the Base Isolator Unit:

Quake Guard," the company's principal product, is protected by patent number US 6,324,795 B1. Quake Guard is a three-part system consisting of a ball and socket casing and an elastomeric pad of rubber and steel plates vulcanized together with a metal or wood frame on which the building's floor is attached. This base isolator is a low occurrence, high amplitude elastomer. The elastomer pads are similar in construction to those currently used for bridges and large buildings.

This three-part system is designed to absorb energy and reduce acceleration from earthquakes. A building and its contents supported by these units will experience substantially reduced shaking and damage in the event of an earthquake. These foundations are superior to any other foundation for use on compressive or expansive soils such as adobe, clay or bay mud, which create stress and movement in traditional concrete foundations.

Introduction

Geologists have found that the earth is divided in many tectonic plates which are constantly sliding. In doing so, they rub against each other and cause earthquakes. In California, the San Andreas fault, which has been in operation for millions of years, is perhaps the best example: The plate on the pacific side of the fault slides northward with each earthquake, separating itself from the continental plate with which it was once joined.

For a long time it was believed that the best way to protect a structure against earthquakes was to reinforce the structural parts and thus make them rigid. The building codes for design of structures against earthquakes were written mainly keeping this point of view in mind. However, it was observed that the pipes which were held by flexible supports survived an earthquake better than those held by rigid supports. That is how the concept of seismic isolation systems evolved. So far seismic isolation systems have been used mainly for multistoried buildings and long bridges. However, during the 1994 Sylmar (Northridge) earthquake in southern California, even two-story residential buildings, designed for probable earthquakes, were severely damaged. This led the authors to develop an isolation system for residential and commercial structures up to three stories high.

Isolation System

The seismic isolation system under discussion is recommended for one to three story residential and office buildings. The system consists of three parts, a ball-and-socket unit, and an elastomeric unit, the two supporting a stiff steel or wood beams on which the building rests. The lower part is the ball-and-socket joint made from a zinc-aluminum alloy. The alloy is light in weight and yet has the same strength as structural steel. It also has the advantage that it is self-lubricating and corrosion resistant. The elastomeric bearing, which has been tested, was 10 inches, in diameter and 6 inches in height. The vertical strain of the pad under a vertical load of 36 kips was 10 percent, and its equivalent viscous damping was 5 to 10 percent.

The elastomeric bearing pad is sandwiched between and vulcanized to two steel plates, which have four bolted holes, one at each corner. The upper and lower steel plates are bolted to the beam of the steel frame and the metal part of the ball-and-socket joint, respectively. The base of the ball-and-socket joint is connected to concrete slab or pier foundation by four bolts.

Model of Two-Story Wood Frame Structure

A test model was constructed as a two-story wood-frame structure with plan dimensions of 15 ft. by 10 ft. and a height of 20 feet. The exterior side of the walls of the structure was made up of 15/32 inch C-DX nailed with 10d @ 4 inch on centers to 2x6 studs @ 16 inch on centers. The interior side of the walls was 5/8 inch gypsum board. The first and second floors were made up of ¾ inch panel index 42/20 nailed with 10d @10 inch to 1 7/8 inch TJI PRO 250 centered @ 8 inches. The roof diaphragm was similar to the floor diaphragm, except that the supporting joists were 2x10 wood joists @ 12 inch on centers. The structure was supported on four steel beams W 12x26 around the edges.

The model represents a two-story prototype house of dimensions 40 feet by 60 feet in plan, which would be supported on 12 seismic isolators. The number of isolators supporting the prototype was arrived at by assuming that the design vertical load of an isolator is 20,000 pounds, and the live loads are of 20 pounds/square foot on the roof and 40 pounds /square foot on each floor. Since the model would be supported on 4 isolators, their tributary plan area is, (4/12)(40x60) = 800 sq. ft. Therefore, the superimposed load at roof level was 16,000 pounds and that on second-floor and first-floor levels each was 32,000 pounds. The structure was modeled as a stick with the masses lumped at roof and floor levels. The isolators were modeled as rotational and translation springs.

Earthquake

The earthquake was imposed in the longer of stiffer direction of the structure. The model structure was subjected to two earthquakes, namely the 1940 El Centro and the 1994 Sylmar (Northridge) earthquakes. The peak accelerations are 0.35g and 0.6g, respectively, for the two earthquakes. The model without isolators was also subjected to each earthquake to compare the structural response with and without isolators.

Results and Discussion

The results of a computer model are presented in Table 1. It may be noted that in the El Centro earthquake, displacements of the structure in the fixed (without isolators) at the roof level (Node 5) and the second floor level (Node 4) are 0.278 inch and 0.122 inch, respectively. With isolators the displacements relative to the first floor are 0.553 inch (= 4.53 - 3.977 inch.) at the roof level and 0.27 inch (= 4.247 - 3.977 inch) at the second-floor level. The shear forces in the second and first stories for the fixed structure are 12.56 kips and 28.49 kips, respectively, whereas they are 6.69 kips and 18.83 kips, respectively for the isolated structure. Thus we see that with the isolators, the relative displacement increased 1.99 and 2.21 times at roof and second-floor levels, respectively, but the shear forces reduced 53% and 66% at the second and first stories.

Tfix = 0.1797sec.;
Tiso = 1.0715 sec.

For isolated structures:
Kx = 3.75 k/in.,
Ky = 2240k in/rad,
Kz = 118 k/in.

In case of the Sylmar earthquake, in the fixed structure, the displacements at the roof and second floor are 0.328 and 0.143 respectively. The shear forces at the second and first story are 15.2kips and 32.97 kips, respectively. On the base-isolated structure, the relative displacements with respect to the first floor are 0.68 inch (=5.523 - 4.843 inch) and 0.331 inch (=5.174 - 4.843inch) at roof and second floor, respectively. The shear forces are 8.273 kips and 23.09 kips at second and first stories, respectively. Thus in the Sylmar earthquake, the relative displacement of the isolated structure increased 2.07 times and 2.31 times at roof and second floor levels, as compared to the fixed structure. The shear forces at second and first stories reduced 55% and 70%, respectively.


It may be mentioned here that a model with the above dimensions was tested, with the same two earthquakes, on a shake table at the structural laboratory of Nevada State University, Reno. The results are not available but the authors know that the results of the computer model and those of the shake table model compared very closely.

Conclusion

It may be concluded that the isolation system described has proved effective in reducing the shear forces in buildings, caused by earthquakes.

======================================

The choice to protect a new structure from seismic damage by utilizing seismic mitigation devices is influenced by two primary factors:

1. Family Safety & Security. Earthquake damage and residential damage can be financially crippling to a family. Concern about protecting capital investments and limiting liability are also major factors. Insurance companies are increasingly offering better rates to owners of protected structures. Structure developers and owners, as well as insurance companies offering earthquake policies need to be made aware of how Ever-Level's product can reduce risk.

2. Government regulation. In seismically active areas, government regulated building codes are steadily becoming much stricter regarding the ability of new structures to withstand serious damage from specified levels of seismic ground movement. U.S. states with seismically active areas such as California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska lead the world in mandating such new building code requirements. Japan also has widely adopted much stricter codes. Turkey, China and other rapidly developing countries are beginning to make serious building code changes in their high risk regions. Although third world countries with earthquake prone areas lag behind the developed world, great interest is being shown by them in seismic mitigation technologies. It is important to Ever-Level that the appropriate regulators world-wide are informed about Ever-level's products.

Choosing a specific technology or product(s) is influenced by the following factors:

1. Product Suitability and Performance. This is by far the most important buying decision factor. Each of the competing products in the market behave somewhat differently. Such criteria as damping effect, range of motion, motion threshold when the device activates, ability to return to the original state and harmonic properties are all considered in selecting a product for a specific application. Most structures are unique in height, width, design, construction materials, overall weight, rigidity and many other attributes. Ever-Level provides superior performance (confirmed by extensive testing) to competing products in the majority of instances.

2. Product Quality and Reliability. Because the product(s) become integral to a major capital investment (the building or structure), the decision maker must be convinced that the product quality is uniformly high and that it can be trusted to perform as expected over a long period of time. Ever-Level's technology is based on technology used for several years in larger buildings, and therefore it can be shown that Ever-Level's products will have a long-life span.

3. Price. This is surprisingly not the major motivator. However, it can be the deciding factor when comparing two specific products that are deemed suitable for the purpose. The Ever-Level is the most cost-effective product for its high level of effectiveness. Currently there are no other similar units in the market and therefore it is hard to compare prices.

4. Confidence in the Manufacturer. The buyer will not choose your product if he/she has any reservation about your ability to deliver consistently high quality products on time and within budget. Confidence in your levels of service and reliability of technical information is also a big factor. It is important that Ever-Level excel in all these areas and quickly build a solid reputation in the industry.

REASON #2 ~ WHY I REALLY LIKE $MSMY

It's a slow here day in $MSMY Land...

So I spent some time to re-read the history of the formation of this Company:

Look at paragraph five to read about some of the interesting places our CEO ~ Tim Algiers has worked as an architect..."oil refineries and nuclear power plants"...Wow!...

A most interesting read!...IMO

The environment has always been a concern and generated many discussions for Tim Algier and his friends as he was growing up in Los Angeles. An avid beach-goer and body surfer, there were many occasions that going into the ocean was banned by city officials due to municipal sewage overflows, especially after a rainstorm. Attending high school in the San Fernando Valley, we had days that were so smoggy that the football and swimming coaches had to shorten our workouts and sometimes take a day off. The discussions with his fellow students centered around “Why does this happen and what can we do about it?” There were even days where the city was on alert to stay inside.

As a student at the school of Architecture at USC in the early seventies in Los Angeles, the physical environment that we lived in became a much focused topic of review. Many theoretical questions were raised in the studio as to why we build structures, spaces and support facilities the way we do, and could it be improved upon? The earthquake of 1971 was centered in Sylmar in the East Valley, but even at USC downtown, it shook long and hard enough for the students to leave their dorm rooms and make it down to the streets and parking lots. Viewing film of the 12-story Olive View Hospital completely collapsed and hundreds of homes damaged redirected our studio discussions on design flaws.

Why are we building houses today with the same construction methods that my great-grandfather’s house was built with? Why wood studs and nails? Why plywood and plaster? Why wood and asphalt shingles? When an earthquake destroys a house, why do we re-build it the same way with the same methods and materials? Does that make any sense? Communities in Malibu and the surrounding Santa Monica and Foothill Mountains where forest fires occur on a yearly basis are perfect examples of a continuous cycle of “building the same way over and over again”.

Although we get very little rain in the LA basin, when it does rain, especially for consecutive days, all the streets with all their trash, leaves, animal waste and automobile oil residue gets washed into the concrete culverts and concrete lined LA River and then ends up in the ocean where we surf and swim. Why did we design it that way? When storm water is diverted to the sewage treatment facility, it cannot handle the increased volume of waste and it just overflows into the sea. That is a problem that requires a solution.

While employed at Fluor Daniel Engineering and Construction Corporation, Mr. Algier worked as an architect on many large industrial facilities such as oil refineries and nuclear power plants. All of these processing facilities had to meet all environmental regulations and there was an entire environmental business sector assigned and devoted to this cause, specifying and engineering wastewater treatment plants, bag houses, air quality treatment facilities, and solid waste dump sites. Mr. Algier was tasked to develop the design specifications for a building to house the plasma incineration chamber for the DOE’s Yucca Mountain Repository in Nevada. On a trip to MIT where the chamber was being developed, he met Richard Sohn who was investigating plasma incineration technologies for radioactive waste. Mr. Sohn’s team was evaluating the environmental impact of the technology and the facility requirements to house the incinerator.

After trading their research documents, they realized that they were both architecture school graduates working in the environmental field with very similar goals. Tim and Richard’s passions, work histories and skill sets overlapped and complemented each other’s. Mr. Algier decided that they could turn their experience and contacts into a U.S. based consulting business and they named the company “Centiuum”, which is a combination of the words “centrum” and “continuum” or “the beginning of the infinite”. They have been building the environmental business by teaming with new technology companies based in the U.S. who have patented solutions that can help solve the environmental challenges that industries face today worldwide.

Then while attending an AIA Convention, Tim Algier met Jerry Kammerer, who had been building homes with a new economical method in Florida, Mexico, Wyoming & Montana. Jerry had designed and engineered a new building system using lightweight steel tubing laminated together with closed-cell insulation. He had U.S. Patents on file for several of these exciting new technologies that fit perfectly into the Centiuum business model and our way of thinking. His addition to the company completed the team, creating a synergistic focus toward the future in varied, yet related sustainable building arenas.

During the growth years, Mr. Algier focused on locating new U.S. developed technologies and entrepreneurs who were working on projects to help solve the environmental challenges that builders and manufacturers were facing. Most of the business focus has been on “clean technologies” for water supplies and wastewater remediation. It has now evolved into the business sectors headlined by sustainable building systems, wastewater remediation, and renewable energy technologies.

We believe we are the right company to meet the needs of our time but flexible enough to grow and change as the world’s and our clients’ requirements change and evolve.

REASON #1 ~ WHY I REALLY LIKE $MSMY

They are a GREEN Company...

MC Endeavors Inc. is an international Smart-Home Builder and Sustainable Community Developer utilizing green technologies such as solar, wind, and biogas powered generators along with water remediation and retention storage systems. We are a corporation that “holds” several green technology companies. We are architects, engineers, and inventors that think “out-of –the –box” so-to-speak when it comes to green building technologies and green community planning. Below is a list of what we focus on:

* Freedom Smart Construction Homes for Disaster Prevention
* Independent Off-the-Grid Communities
* Self-Sustainable Living and Work Places
* Green Master Planning – LEED Certified
* Retention and Storage of Storm Water
* Raw Sewage Remediation using Plasma Incineration Systems
* Biogas Energy Generation from Landfills & Waste Streams

Our Mission: is to be the premier provider of environmentally sensitive "GREEN" technologies and services worldwide. Protecting our water and forest resources is essential to sustaining our quality of life for future generations. That's why CENTIUUM has researched and developed structurally superior products and systems that meet the green needs of our world.

http://www.centiuum.com/mission.html

And I am into all things "GREEN"...One of my hobbies is to build solar panels and small windmills to power our well pump and exterior lighting...I found this website that tells you how to do it ALL!...Easily and without having to spend a lot of money...

http://www.mdpub.com/Wind_Turbine/index.html

And investing in "GREEN" Companies is a good idea at this point in time, because they will see more demand as the price of Oil rises and we want better and cheaper energy sources...

Renewable Energy: The demand for fossil fuels is reduced when renewable energy sources are used because non-biomass renewable sources of energy (hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar) do not directly emit greenhouse gases. The production and use of renewable fuels has grown substantially in recent years as a result of higher prices for oil and natural gas due to the emergence of China & India as growing consumers of oil & natural gas that many say will soon surpass U.S. consumption of these fossil fuels. Production of renewable fuels have also been driven by a number of State and Federal Government incentives, including the Energy Policy Acts of 2002 and 2005 and the use of renewable fuels is expected to continue to grow well beyond the next 30 years. The methods CENTIUUM uses to create renewable energy are patented technologies that incinerate wastewater & sewage while creating smart-grid electricity and an integrating patented technology that captures low temperature waste gases that are presently being emitted into the atmosphere by industry and converts them into smart-grid electricity.

Sustainable Eco Business Development and Environmental Engineering Services: The sustainable eco development is based on the assumption that societies need to manage three types of capital (economic, social, and natural), which may be non-substitutable and whose consumption might be irreversible. We place waste-to-gas energy conversion technologies at landfills in cities. We provide scientific, consulting and engineering services for water resources, groundwater, watershed management, mining, geotechnical, steam exhaust, & environmental management and program services for water and wastewater facilities.

$SLV ~ Fibonacci Retracement Levels:

33.01 was the only support level to the top at 48.35

What goes straight uP, can also go straight Down...

33.01 looks like strong support...Especially at the 50% Fib line...

26.03 is very strong support...And is the only support level up to 33.01

Except for the little support area right at the 50% Fib line at 31.19

But you know this market as well as I do...That fall took less than a week, and it is SEVERE...WAY too vertical, so an oversold rally could start tomorrow...And it could be a BIG one...It could do a Fib bounce of 38.2% or even 50%...There are a number of gaps to be filled just above...And gaps 'usually' fill...Though in this case, I fear they may not this time...

"Silver Leads Precious Metals Sell-Off" - By MPtrader

http://www.mptrader.com/middayminute/

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 20% in 4 trading sessions. Let's notice that the SLV has given back ALL of its near-vertical upside blow-off type action ($37.00-$48.35) after the price structure hurdled the top of its 10-month bullish channel.

The SLV has returned to the vicinity of the extension of the upper channel line, which now serves as support starting at $38.30, into the area of the sharply rising 50 DMA ($37.85). That area should contain and reverse current SLV weakness.

Meanwhile, the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) has corrected by a modest 3% (compared with -20% in the SLV) off of its May 2 all-time high at $153.61. The GLD is nearing a test of key near-term support at $148.00-$146.00, which should contain the weakness prior to the resumption of strength.

MC Endeavors Board Member U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke Book Re-Released: “Waiting for Rain: Life & Development in Mali, West Africa”:

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Thursday May 5, 2011, 8:08 am

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: MSMY) announced that Christopher Publishing has just re-released the well received book "Waiting for Rain: Life & Development in Mali, West Africa” that was penned by Board Member and Director U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke. It will also be available on Kindle in a couple of weeks as well. Lucke wrote this book after his experience in Mali when he served there as part of the U.S. Foreign Service. “I am still waiting on the movie version...” says Lucke. Here is the jacket description below:

"Waiting for Rain" is the story of a young, novice development professional who leaves the comfort of the United States to live and work in Mali, one of West Africa's poorest but most interesting and authentically African countries. Mali boasts one of the lowest GDPs and some of the most intractable development challenges in the world, but it is the home of Timbuktu, the Niger River, Dogon cliff dwellers and the mud mosques of Mopti. Though the country is culturally fascinating, can you ever get over the shock of working in such an impoverished country where life expectancy is 41 and a major drought is just coming to an end? What kind of development programs can you hope to put together to effectively address the problems of Mali? And since this is important work that touches the lives of real people, when all is said and done, will you have succeeded or not? "Waiting for Rain" may be of interest to those interested in other cultures, travel, Africa, international social issues and development buffs. Without being overly technical, the book treats a serious subject - economic development - while viewing the personal side of living and working in Mali.

Lewis Lucke is the former U.S. Ambassador to Swaziland as well as the former U.S. Response Coordinator for the Haiti earthquake. Lucke also served as the first USAID Mission Director for Iraq and sits on the Board of Directors of MC Endeavors, Inc. MC Endeavors CEO Tim Algier emphasized that,

“Ambassador Lucke has been dedicated and compassionate about helping less-fortunate cultures throughout his travels around the world. His on-the-ground experience in Haiti will be invaluable in helping Haitians rebuild and develop a new economy.”

MC Endeavors Board Member U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke Returns from Haiti with New Insights & Rededication:

Popular New Haiti President Michel Martelly and his Cabinet to be Installed on May 16th...

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Wednesday May 4, 2011, 8:08 am

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (PinkSheets: MSMY) Board Member and Director U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke returned from Haiti and reflected on the current status of the West Indies nation:

“Not a lot of good news normally comes from Haiti, particularly in the wake of last January's horrific earthquake, but some perspective is needed. The world hurried to respond to Haiti's urgent and immediate need for emergency and humanitarian assistance and now Haiti needs to focus on its longer-term recovery and reconstruction. That reconstruction assistance has in my view moved far too slowly, even though to some extent this is understandable given the doubts about the political stability surrounding the first stage of Haiti's flawed first round of elections last November-December. But the second electoral round went much smoother with a clear Presidential victor in Michel Martelly won the Presidential Election with 67.57% of the votes. That resulting political stability gives hope not only for a new and better Government of Haiti but also that reconstruction funds will begin to flow more effectively. While Haiti is still broken, this is a time of renewed hope and optimism.”

Ambassador Lucke went on to say that, “Much remains to be done in Haiti. Probably 80% of the earthquake debris remains in place and as many as 700,000 people are still in tents and under tarps. This is unacceptable. Clearly, two of the biggest challenges facing Haiti are a comprehensive community-based program of debris removal and a focus on permanent, affordable and rapidly built housing. Haiti must also concentrate to create agriculture-based rural enterprise both as an economic engine and to create economic opportunity for rural people who would otherwise crowd into an already densely populated Port au Prince. The key to Haiti's recovery must be in the hand of Haitians themselves. The focus of reconstruction must be on Haitian enterprises, Haitian workers and Haitian leaders leading the charge for Haiti and Haitians. Haitians work hard and are capable people. The role of Haiti's friends in the international community is helping Haiti help itself.”

MC Endeavors CEO Tim Algier emphasized that, “Ambassador Lucke was the former U.S. Response Coordinator for the Haiti earthquake who led the United States’ relief and recovery program. His insights and on-the-ground experience in Haiti will give us the opportunity to really make a difference in both addressing the homeless situation and helping Haitians build a new economy.”

MC Endeavors Announces MOU with Seismic Foundation Control for Earthquake Resistant Base Isolator Technology:

Seismic vibration-dampening systems complete the protection of MCE’s Lamisteel residential and small commercial buildings from earthquake damage at an economical cost.

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Monday May 2, 2011, 8:10 am

SUNDANCE, Wyo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (PinkSheets: MSMY) announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the proposed acquisition Seismic Foundation Control, Inc. of Edmonds, WA that would bring in-house a key element to complete the earthquake protection of MCE’s Lamisteel residential and small commercial buildings. The patented factory built base isolator named “Quake Guard” features a three-part system consisting of a ball and socket casing and an elastomeric pad of rubber and steel plates vulcanized together with a steel frame on which the building's steel floor frame is attached.

John Armstrong, President of Seismic Foundation Control, stated that, “A building and its contents supported by these units will experience substantially reduced shaking and damage in the event of an earthquake. These foundations are superior to any other foundation for use on compressive or expansive soils such as adobe, clay or bay mud, which create stress and movement in traditional concrete footings and foundations. Preliminary testing of a 2-story 15 foot by 10 foot building has shown to have no ill-effects after being placed on a shaker-table for simulating the Sylmar and El Centro earthquakes.”

Tim Algier, Architect and CEO of MC Endeavors stated that, “The Quake Guard base isolators are very economically designed and will play a key role in the foundation engineering for the reconstruction efforts to rebuild cities and communities within the earthquake ravaged countries of Haiti, Chile, New Zealand, China, and Japan.

The estimate to rebuild these countries now tops $600 Billion and they require new technologies that are both economical and time-sensitive. Homeless survivors need to have their communities rebuilt, but they must have confidence that the new buildings can withstand the aftershocks and future earthquakes.”

MC Endeavors Director U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke Travels to Haiti to Survey Reconstruction Programs after New President Elected:

MC Endeavors Director to Meet with Martelly Officials to Review and Outline Steps to Rebuild the West Indies Nation...

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Tuesday April 12, 2011, 7:33 am EDT

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MSMY) announced that its Director U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke is traveling to Haiti to survey the reconstruction programs after last week’s announcement that musician Michel Martelly had won the Presidential Election with 67.57% of the votes.

Ambassador Lucke stated, “As President, Martelly will face the huge challenge of trying to rebuild a Caribbean Country that was already in poverty status well before the January 12, 2010 earthquake which killed more than 300,000 people, made more than 1.5 million homeless, and bludgeoned the fragile economy.” The Ambassador went on to state that, “Hundreds of thousands of destitute earthquake victims are still living in squalid tent and tarpaulin camps clamoring for jobs and housing, and Martelly will have to work closely with private local and international donors to ensure prompt delivery and effective use of $10 billion in foreign aid.”

MC Endeavors CEO Tim Algier emphasized that, “Ambassador Lucke served as the U.S. Response Coordinator for the Haiti earthquake, leading the United States’ $1.0 billion to date relief and recovery program, and having him on our reconstruction team is very valuable to us. His contacts and international experience will give us the opportunity to really make a difference in both addressing the homeless situation and helping to improve the Haitian economy.”

MC Endeavors Points to Growth and Focus in Strong Long Lasting Environmentally Passive and Active Building Systems:

Subsidiaries Centiuum, Lamisteel, and Engenaire to work together to Integrate their IP into one Smart Building System...

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Tuesday April 5, 2011, 8:08 am EDT

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MSMY) released its annual “State of the Corporation” summary which points to creating growth for the company by focusing its subsidiaries to work together to integrate their intellectual properties and expertise into one Smart Building System that is disaster resistant and utilizes both environmentally passive and active energy systems to perform on its own “on-or-off grid.”

Centiuum’s sewage digestion and gray-water remediation and storage systems can be integrated into the self-sustainable community design for water supply. Engenaire’s generator sets can be integrated into the design of a commercial building or a home so that it can power the structure without electricity from the utility grid. Lamisteel’s building technology combination of welded tube-steel and rigid closed-cell foam insulation can withstand the shaking of an earthquake, the wind load of a hurricane, and is water resistant from floods unlike wood studs, fiberglass insulation, and sheetrock that all soak up water that grows mold and rots out.

Tim Algier, CEO of MC Endeavors, stated that, “MCE continues to receive RFPs for rebuilding efforts from disaster areas around the globe. Our Director, U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke, has informed us that reconstruction efforts in Haiti will begin to be funded now that President Michel Martelly has finally taken office. Over $10 Billion in funding has already been raised worldwide for Haiti Reconstruction.”

Mr. Algier went on to say that, “In Architecture School at USC in L.A. we experienced the Sylmar earthquake of ’71 firsthand and again got to experience the disastrous rolling effects of the Northridge earthquake in ’94. So we have had a focus on earthquake resistant design for 40 years now.” He went on to question, “Yet we continue to see the building industry reconstruct these disaster-hit communities with the same age-old stick-&-stucco and brick-&-mortar techniques that their grandfather used. Why do that? The whole re-building process needs to be rethought and re-evaluated. We feel our technology meets these challenges.”

Jerry Kammerer, CTO of MC Endeavors and Principal of Lamisteel LLC, went on to explain that, “After a natural disaster such as an earthquake, tornado, hurricane or flood, the buildings that are left standing must be able to kick-on their back-up energy systems to generate light, stay warm, pump water and cook food. So the engineering, type, and location of these systems become a critical part of the building configuration and must be integrated into the design.”

Estimates of Rebuilding Costs for Earthquake Ravaged Haiti, Chile, New Zealand, China, and now Japan Surpass $600 Billion:

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Wednesday March 30, 2011, 7:53 am EDT

SUNDANCE, Wyo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (PinkSheets: MSMY) subsidiary Lamisteel LLC announced that has designed a new earthquake resistant building system for single family and multi-family residences and small to medium commercial buildings. Preliminary testing of a Lamisteel 14 foot by 24 foot building module has shown to have no ill-effects after being placed on a shaker-table for 3 minutes simulating an 8.0 earthquake.

With good planning we could build several houses a day that would be better, stronger and safer. We also design for a multi-fuel generator to be installed in the attic, so the house or building would always have power even if an earthquake takes out the utility grid.”

ENGENAIRE’s Inductive Generator Sets for the Commercial Power Industry Eliminate the Need for Expensive Controllers:

MC Endeavors’ Newest Subsidiary ENGENAIRE Announces New Inductive Generator Technology Set to Revolutionize an Already $10 Billion Industry:

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Tuesday March 29, 2011, 10:51 am EDT

SUNDANCE, Wyo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MSMY) announced a new $18 million project from its newest subsidiary ENGENAIRE, Inc. using another proprietary multi-fuel generator product that will revolutionize the commercial power industry by allowing any number of generators to run in parallel out to the grid without expensive control systems, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in start up costs.

Tim Algier, CEO of MC Endeavors, stated that, “We are working with a large landfill operator that has more than 20 generator sites throughout the United States. They want to eliminate their downtime maintenance expense of the large diesel generators and use a larger number of smaller multi-fuel generators that require less downtime and do not require the large instrument and control systems that are needed to keep the electrical power matched to the grid.”

Larry Pendell, Principal of ENGENAIRE, described that, “The Inductive Generator System is a combination of a number of continuous multi-fuel generator sets running in parallel and are designed to automatically adjust their power output in symmetry with the required grid power. Running on LPG, LNG, on any biogas created at the landfill allows for cleaner burning engine-generator sets and they will run many more hours requiring far less maintenance. This is a tremendous savings for the client and an improvement to the air quality output at their facilities.”

MC Endeavors' Latest Subsidiary ENGENAIRE Announces New Product: “Safety-AID”

The Safety Automatic Independent Disconnect for Any User to Put Electricity Back on the Utility Grid Safely:

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Wednesday February 23, 2011, 8:15 am EST

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Last week MC Endeavors, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MSMY) announced the acquisition of the majority interest of ENGENAIRE, Inc. This acquisition includes the new Safety-AID product, allowing homeowners to SAFELY connect to the Electrical Utility Grid and to send electricity back to the utility for electricity credits, as one of its significant patented technologies. The MCE/ENGENAIRE merger brings with it an array of innovative new technologies that we will announce and describe through our next several press releases.

Larry Pendell, Principal of ENGENAIRE, emphasizes, “The utility companies have been very negative in accepting independent electricity from homeowners who have installed generators and want to send the excess electricity they generate back to the grid. Utilities have claimed it is a severe safety hazard because there is no safety switch to protect their linemen and other workers from injury or death when they are working on downed power lines or when there is a black-out. Now the Safety Automatic Independent Disconnect switch fills that need.”

Tim Algier, CEO of MC Endeavors, outlined, “The Safety-AID product is a very significant step for both users and the electrical utilities that have been issued government mandates to accept electricity from independent generators. The Safety-AID enclosure will accept the existing homeowner meter to be re-mounted on top of the surface and the disconnect switch is UL Approved.” Mr. Algier went on to say that, “The market for this device includes any residential or commercial user who wants to have 100% certainty that they will have electricity when the power lines go down and wants to safely send their excess generated electricity back to the grid. It is a multi-million dollar market and Safety-AID is an exciting addition to the MCE line of products and services!”

MC Endeavors Has Agreed to Acquire Majority Interest of ENGENAIRE to Manufacture Smart-Grid Switches and Variable Speed Generators for MCE:

Press Release Source: MC Endeavors, Inc. On Monday February 14, 2011, 6:20 pm EST

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MC Endeavors, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MSMY) announced that it has agreed to acquire the majority interest of ENGENAIRE, Inc. of Elkhart, Indiana, to manufacture Smart-Grid Switches and Variable Speed Generators with the MCE Label for distribution and sales worldwide. This partnership will bring to MCE an additional piece of its GREEN technology in connection of electrical production generated from wind and gas.

Tim Algier, CEO of MC Endeavors, outlined, “This is a very important partnership because it solidifies our position in the self-sustainable building industry by providing both residential and commercial clients with patented variable speed generators that connect directly to the grid without going through expensive rectifiers and converters using patented safety approved smart-grid switches that prevent generated electricity from entering the electrical grid back to the utility during accidents, downed power lines and blackouts.”

Larry Pendell, Principal of ENGENAIRE, emphasized, “The Variable Speed Generator will produce constant numbers of AC cycles (like 60 cycles per second for example) regardless of the input shaft speed. The shaft can run from 0 to the mechanical limits of the generator depending on its design. The amount of torque times the speed of the shaft determines the output in Kilowatts up to the capacity of the generator.” Larry went on to say that, “The advantage of this design is that you can hook the generator directly to the grid without going through a rectifier/inverter. Besides being very expensive, rectifier/inverters are prone to trouble and problems and have relatively high maintenance costs. This is a major savings for the end user.”

MC Endeavors, Inc. is an international Smart-Home Builder and Self-Sustaining Community Developer utilizing green technologies such as solar, wind, and biogas powered generators along with water remediation and water retention storage systems.

Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty. Boudreaux's first assignment was in a military induction center.

Because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.

The officer in charge soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance.

This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $30.00 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was already providing at no charge. The officer decided he'd sit in the back of the room at the next briefing and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch.

Boudreaux stood up before the latest group of inductees and said, "If you has da normal GI insurans an' you goes to Afghanistan an' gets youself killed, da governmen' pays you beneficiary $20,000.

If you takes out da supplemental insurans, which cost you only t'irty dollars a mons, den da governmen' gots ta pay you beneficiary $200,000!

"Now," Boudreaux concluded, "which bunch you tink dey gonna send ta Afghanistan first?
