The outage was sparked when the Austin-based cybersecurity company CrowdStrikeinadvertently issued a faulty update to itssecurity software.More than 8.5 million computers runningMicrosoft Windows crashed and could notbe restarted. The outage caused both flight delays andcancellations at the Phoenix-Mesa GatewayAirport, as well as the Sky Harbor Airport.Delays were additionally reported at the ElPaso International Airport, the AlbuquerqueInternational Sunport, and the DenverInternational Airport.The Denver airport, according to theDenver Post, ended up seeing the delay ofmore than 1,200 flights.With the essential role that computers andthe internet play in the lives of everyonetoday it should be no surprise that theCrowdStrike impacted the systems of thePhoenix Police Department and St. JosephHospital and Medical Center in Arizona’slargest city.The communications center of the MesaPolice Department and the system used bythe City of Goodyear’s police and firedepartments to write electronic reports alsohad problems.As the problem appeared to be affecting avariety of public agencies in Arizona,Governor Katie Hobbs issued a statementby midday noting that her administrationwas “closely monitoring all services thathave been impacted and is working toensure that we continue delivering thecritical services that Arizonans rely on.”Processing delays were experienced at theU.S.-Mexico border bridge in El Paso, withthe U.S. Customs and Border Protectionstating that the agency was actively workingto “mitigate impacts to our operations andare proactively working with ourstakeholders to minimize the impact tointernational trade and travel.”In New Mexico, both the PresbyterianHealthcare Services and the Bank ofAlbuquerque reported problems owing tothe outage, with the Bank of Albuquerquesaying it had delayed the opening of some ofits metro locations.The Colorado Division of Motor Vehiclessaid many of its services were unavailablefor the duration of the day, with a reporterfor CPR News writing: “If you were thinkingof trying to get a driver’s license, register acar, or get a new license plate today—well,maybe just don’t.”In a news release that could be greeted withdismay or joy, depending upon one’sperspective, the Colorado Department ofRevenue, Taxation Division announced thatboth in-office and call center services wereunavailable due to the outrage, adding:“There is currently no timeline for whenservices will be restored.”The outage, was made apparent to millionsof computer users via a blue screen, sincepopularly called the “blue screen of death.”That blue screen announced: "Your PC raninto a problem and needs to restart."CrowdStrike subsequently issued asoftware update fix designed to repaircomputers, while posting instructions forusers to fix the problem manually.Continues >30BUILTENVIRONMENT

Rather candidly, the New York Timesreported to its readers that ultimately if a“computer has entered a doom loop, it willmost likely take an expert to fix it.”In a statement, George Kurtz, chiefexecutive officer of CrowdStrike, said thecompany was determined to resolve allissues associated with the outrage. But healso warned: "We know that adversariesand bad actors will try to exploit events likethis."Kurtz added: "I encourage everyone toremain vigilant and ensure that you areengaging with official CrowdStrikerepresentatives."The outage has now been called the largestof its kind in history, with the site ArsTechnica putting the worldwide financialdamage in the billions of dollars.31BUILTENVIRONMENTA growing company with roots in Californiathat specializes in the production of liquidand dry food products is expanding itspresence in Phoenix.With roots reaching back to its founding inSan Francisco in 1988, United FoodsInternational has emerged as an industryleader in custom liquid processing that isused in everything from dipping sauces,soup bases, marinades, and soy-basedsauces.

The group added that it was ready tocontinue talks at the bargaining table inorder to “avoid further disruption of thecargo flow and/or damage to our nation’seconomy.”The ILA, which has not called a strike since1977, represents laborers at the ports ofNew York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore,among the larger East cost facilities, as wellas the Gulf coast ports of Mobile, NewOrleans, and Houston. The union representsaround 85,000 workers at those ports.In a letter sent to the White House by theU.S. Chamber of Commerce, NationalAssociation of Manufacturers, and NationalRetail Federation, it was noted that the “lastthing the supply chain, companies andemployees—all of which rely on themovement of goods, both imports andexports, through our East Coast and GulfCoast ports—need is a strike or otherdisruptions because of an ongoing labornegotiation.”The Wall Street Journal has noted that anOctober job action by the ILA would mostlikely prove particularly untimely, notingthat it would come during the “busiest timeof the year for shipping, when retailers arebringing in holiday-season goods.”34BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva proNew mini golf courses built this spring inTupper Lake, New York; Lansing, Michigan;and Daytona Beach, Florida, are offering thelatest evidence that this is a boomingindustry with annual revenues nowestimated at the $2 billion level and above.According to the National Golf Foundation,up to 18 million people in the U.S. play minigolf at least four times a year.

That's not to say that many courses still don't rely on the traditionalminiature windmills, castles, and small lagoons to challenge players.The new Daytona Beach mini golf course is part of famed golferTiger Woods' PopStroke brand, which includes restaurant and baramenities, outdoor dining areas, ice cream parlors, and large TVscreens everywhere.PopStroke courses have now been opened in various spots inFlorida, as well as Alabama. The announcement of the DaytonaPopStroke project was regarded as important enough for the city'sMayor, Derrick Henry, to announce: "It adds value to ourcommunity as a place to visit to have a good time."The Tupper Lake mini golf course is being built at the site of aformer gas station, with the pump canopy repurposed for outdoorseating, and the course itself featuring a 9-foot waterfall, hiddenpassages for golf balls, and general water obstacles.According to the book Miniature Golf by John Margolies, the firstmini golf course was built in 1926 on the roof of a New Yorkskyscraper in the middle of the financial district and was designedfor "overwrought bankers eager to unwind." The concept soonexpanded to some 150 other rooftop courses until the GreatDepression dried up financing.In the years after World War II, particularly in the 1950s, mini golfmade a comeback with new courses opening up primarily in theSouth and West. A 1951 ad for a course in Bossier City, Louisianainvited guests to play at the "most popular miniature golf course inthe Arkansas-Louisiana-Texas" area, with the lure of "delicious ice-cold watermelon after the game."In an article written this spring for the publication In Business byBen Sheppard, chief information officer for Puttshack, a mini golfcourse company with locations in Scottsdale and Denver, amongroughly two dozen other locations nationally, it was noted thatsuch courses are today a thing of technological wonder.Increasingly, mini golf operators today are using analytic tools to"track metrics such as average score, time spent on each hole, andpeak hours of operation."Such information, added Sheppard, allows those operators to"optimize course layouts and tailor the overall experience to meetthe needs of their target audience."35BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva pro

Datacenter work, meanwhile, continues to climbupward, accounting for 3% of the overallnonresidential building market, a share that isalso twice as large as it was in 2019.Altogether, manufacturing, warehouse, anddata center projects make up a healthy 40% ofthe industry's commercial and industrialsectors, nearly twice what they did in the yearbefore the Covid 19 outbreak.For that reason, notes the report,"construction sectors that typically have adifferent design focus - materials composition,and contractor specialization - now accountfor much of the gain that the industry has seenrecently."Overall, predictive of spending trends in otherindustries, the pace of growth is mostly on theflat side. Not a dramatic jump off the cliff asseen during the Great Recession, nor the wildupward ride of 2020 and 2021, but justhanging in there.Current conditions, adds the report, areanticipated to "continue this year and into2025."
