Did you notice the dramatic plunge in Google’s share price around the time of the announcement of their latest financial results? While most discussed the poor timing and leaked internal memo which precipitated the decline, for me it’s a reminder of the value in taking a deeper look at Google’s financial results to understand changes in their services and how their customers are spending their money at Google.
Google is still growing ad revenues. Yes, revenues may have been below expectations, but Google reported consolidated revenues of $14.10 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, an increase of 45% compared to the third quarter of 2011. I think Facebook is going to struggle to compete with this in future.
Google is reliant on major markets and international markets aren’t growing proportionally. With Google revenues from outside of the United States totalled $6.11 billion or 53% of total Google revenues, Google is still heavily dependent on the US and the international figure has actually declined slightly suggesting that Google is struggling to exploit international markets. Interestingly for those of us based in the UK, Google revenues from the United Kingdom totalled $1.22 billion, representing 11% of Google revenues!
Google’s display network (GDN) is a significant source of revenue. When I’m training I find many marketers aren’t aware of this, or at least how large it is by volume of spend. Of course, it is switched on by default for new campaigns, so it’s worth being aware that it needs careful management to get ROI. In Q3 2012 Google’s partner sites generated revenues of $3.13 billion, or 27% of total Google revenues, in the third quarter of 2012. This is a 21% increase from third quarter 2011 Google network revenues of $2.60 billion. This shows that Google is being successful in growing its placements on publishers and generating more revenue as a result. It’s a reminder to look at how effective your spend is on the Google Display Network again, if you need one!
Google’s traffic acquisition costs are significant. Google’s reports break out “TAC” – Traffic acquisition costs, the portion of revenues shared with Google’s partners, i.e. publishers who provide inventory on the Google Display network increased to $2.77 billion in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $2.21 billion in the third quarter of 2011. TAC as a percentage of advertising revenues was 26% in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 24% in the third quarter of 2011.
Is the increase use of the mobile web harming Google?. With 67% of income from Google’s core search sites only increasing by 15% increase over third quarter 2011 coupled with an increase in use of mobile search, we can speculate that the switch to consumer’s use of mobile search may mean that Google is finding it more difficult to monetise mobile platforms. This will partly be because some advertisers may not be aware of it as an option so there is less competition and a lower CPC to Google. This is a timely reminder to review your investment and management of mobile search marketing and AdWords in particular.
Google Webmaster Central - the best source for information on changes to the algorithm.
Inside Search - more end-user focused, but often used for major announcements on the algorithm.
Google Analytics blog - this service changes frequently, so it’s useful to follow all the changes if you’re a specialist in Analytics. If you’re not, I recommend subscribing to the monthly Google Analytics enewsletter available from the Google Analytics admin page.
Google mobile blog - the least obvious of these, this blog covers new mobile apps for iPhone and Android as you’d expect, but also gives advice on mobile SEO, pay-per-click and display.
Official Google blog - despite the official moniker, arguably the least useful of these since it mainly covers new applications and case studies rather than being a reliable source of new announcements.

Red Panda just may be the best halftime show on the planet. Rong Nui, a.k.a. Red Panda, is a fourth-generation acrobat who performs some seriously amazing stunts. Most of her tricks are performed on a sky-high unicycle — she can also flip and juggle plates without dropping a single one.
According to Complex, she learned these impressive feats from her father. When she came into the U.S. from China, she started performing at the Epcot Center in Disney World.
It didn’t take long before she made the shift into halftime shows. She currently travels all over the U.S. with her seven-foot unicycle, although she took two years off to care for her father.
After he passed on, she returned to performing, but each show holds more significance now that he’s gone. She says that she thinks of him every time she performs. Despite rumors of her retirement, she says she loves the challenge of performing, and has no plans to stop anytime soon.

2) Check the feedback of the seller. For stamps, anything under 99% is a bad sign. Make sure to read all negative comments. They tell something about what service you will receive if something goes wrong. Also, check the feedback of those leaving negative and neutral comments--sometimes it's not the seller's fault.
3) Look for signs of shill bidding. If some of the users you bid against have very low feedback, and if they only bid on the same seller's items, and if there is a great variety of items they bid on from the same seller, retract your bids, and report the shill bidding to eBay.
4)Be sure to ask questions about the items before you bid, if you have questions. If the scan is unclear, ask for a better scan, especially if the stamp being offered has a high catalog value or is commonly forged, reperfed, or otherwise altered.
5) Check the stamp image out very carefully for signs of damage, alteration, reperfing, erased cancels, etc. Has the seller mentioned any visible faults in the description? If you're not sure of the stamp, ask someone with knowledge of the area to look at the scan.
6) Read carefully shipping and payment terms. If shipping costs are unreasonable high, you may report the seller for "fee avoidance". If the seller does not clearly list shipping and payment terms, ask via email before bidding.
7) Are return privileges acceptable? Is the length of time permitted long enough? Will the seller give an additional extension if you want to have the stamp certified? An honest seller will give an extension to have a stamp certified, and will pay the cost of the certificate if the stamp is not as advertised.
8) Never bid on an "as is" auction. Not a used car, and not a stamp. If the seller can not guarantee the stamp, you don't want to be the customer. As a famous stamp alterer said it: "You're buying a pig in a poke"
9) Learn about the seller. Good feedback is no guarantee for an honest seller. Some buyers were willing victims, knowing that they bought junk, and others might not know thay were defrauded. Use internet search engines, and ask on message boards if you are unsure about a seller.
10) Leave honest feedback. Many buyers always leave positive feedback, even when they know they were scammed. Doing so is a disservice to the community , and undermines the credibility of the feedback system.

I'll show you how to make formulas and functions that automatically update when more data is added to a range in Excel.
A simple example is when you want to sum a range that will have more data added to it over time. You don't want to have to continue to update your formulas and functions, so you want dynamically updating formulas and functions.
The regular sum did not change but the dynamic sum updated to show the correct amount.
(Make sure to download the workbook for this tutorial so you can follow along).
This is just because you can't reference an entire column in Excel 2003 and earlier and A:A references an entire column, column A.
Now, let's break-up this formula.
Basically, I am just using the OFFSET() function to return a range that the SUM() function will then use instead of hard-coding a range into the SUM() function.
To use the OFFSET() function to return a dynamic range we simply need to put the first cell in the range as the first argument, A2 in this case.
Then, we need to use the COUNT() function as the 4th argument for the OFFSET() function in order to figure out how big our range should be. Change A:A to whatever column contains your list of data.
The COUNT() function counts all cells in the range that have a number. The range reference that you use for the COUNT() function should be large enough to hold any size list that you could have in the future so it does not need to be changed.
If you use Excel 2007 or later, just use A:A as the argument for the COUNT() function, as shown in the first dynamic example above. This way, the entire column will be referenced.
If you are in Excel 2007 and later you can use the COUNTA() function instead of the COUNT() function. The COUNTA() function counts all cells that are NOT empty whereas the COUNT() function only counts the cells that have numbers in them.
If you make formulas and function dynamic by using the OFFSET() function as mentioned above, it will cause confusion and clutter very quickly when you make large formulas.
One commonly used way around this is to use Named Ranges that dynamically update when you add new values to a range. This uses the same method as we illustrated above except that the OFFSET() function and its contents are contained within a Named Range and this Named Range is then used in the formulas and functions in the spreadsheet whenever you need to reference a range that you want to update each time you add a value to the range or list.
Here is our Dynamic Named Range in Excel Tutorial that will show you how to do that.
The OFFSET() function is the key to creating dynamic formulas and functions in Excel. Make sure to check out our OFFSET Function Tutorial if you want a more in-depth explanation of how it works.

All eyes were on him. As the new CEO, this was a watermark decision for his leadership. To be clear, the issue was not that of success or failure concerning the financial stability of the organization. In fact, on the big picture, it would be but a blimp on their revenue and expense portfolio. This was a culture call. The leadership team had made an internal change that affected all of the employees. The feedback from the ranks was that the employees were upset about one particular component. How this leader handled communication in the workplace would go a long way in defining how he would lead this organization in the future.
He listened to the concerns.
He learned about the data and facts behind the emotional outcry.
He consulted with those he trusted, including his leadership team.
He developed a plan that addressed the concerns and walked back the original decision.
He communicated to the employees that he and the leadership cared about them and that they heard their concerns.
It takes an incredibly strong leader to listen, learn and lead in that order. The result of the way this wise leader handled this internal dilemma will yield positive results that will undergird the culture of this organization. He could have "stuck to his guns" and the results would have been much different with a negative or even harmful impact.
The bottom line is that this leader put the good of his employees over his own ego. This type of leadership will go a long way toward building and sustaining a strong and healthy cultural environment within the organization.
Knowing when to walk back a decision and having the courage and humility to do so demonstrates integrity and strong leadership. Choose to put your team above your ego and you will make a difference!

The Redcat Racing Blackout XTE is truly a budget friendly backyard basher that is an excellent choice for the new comer to the RC hobby and for seasoned RC hobbyists. This truck is built to take a beating and is ready for whatever you can throw at it within reason.
The Blackout XTE comes in two different versions, brushed and a PRO brushless version and they have two different body styles to choose from, SUV and truck. Both versions of the Blackout are shaft driven with 4 wheel drive include a 2.4GHz radio and feature waterproof electronics. The PRO version ups the ante by coming with a powerful brushless motor for even more speed, a beefier steering servo and a Li-Po battery to round out the package.
The Blackout XTE performs better than our expectations with the brushed motor setup. The motor makes great power and its’ top end speed is more than enough for any novice. The truck handles bumps, dips, and uneven surfaces with ease, however there is a little bit of bump steer. Not really an issue when you are in the backyard but I thought I would mention it. The truck does take on jumps and flys a little tail down through the air. The suspension does a good job of soaking up the landing and settles out pretty quickly.
The included Ni-MH battery pack lasts a decent amount of time with us being able to get about 20 minutes of good bashing out of it before needing a recharge. A better charger like the HX-705 is recommended as the included wall charge will take about 5 1/2 hours to charge the battery.
The Blackout XTE PRO version is nothing short of being a speed freak. The truck speeds up in an instance and is very impressive. This truck won’t set any speed records but at the price point everyone was more than happy with the speed out of it. The Pro handles the same as the standard but we noticed less bump steer out of the front with the beefier servo. Getting the Pro to fly well through the air was a little trickier but that is probably due to the extra speed and torque from the brushless setup.
As with the Blackout XTE, we got a pretty decent and consistent runtime out of the included Li-Po charger although like the wall charger with the standard we did have to wait on average about 3 hours for the pack to full charge. We were able to knock that time down to an hour with the HX-403 charger.

Russell Kirk was a religious man, not just personally but intellectually as well. He believed in a transcendent order and a body of natural law that should rule humankind, just as our properly formed individual consciences should govern our personal actions. Individualism, which he considered the essence of human existence, led him to his life's work, a quest for universal self-affirmation, personal responsibility, and a social order devoted to the realization of individual potential. Kirk saw man as capable of being self-governed through intellectual integrity and a comprehension of historical truths. Russell Kirk was Edmund Burke in the twentieth century. He was a man with the understanding and vision to see mid-century public policy for what it was: limiting, controlling, even de-humanizing-and doomed to failure.
Private property and the liberty to do with it as one pleases were Kirk's temporal talismans. He felt limited only by his conscience in his relations with the world. Government, essentially the antithesis of imagination and individual responsibility, frightened Kirk, and so he reflected often on government's role. "Government is intended [to allow us] to provide for our wants and enforce our duties," and that is it. The rest is up to us.
its tenets went unrecognized by most political and intellectual leaders until well after World War II. The postwar period through the early 1960s was economically deceptive because so many resources were released from wartime application that we seemingly could afford anything we could imagine. But Kirk saw the law of unintended consequences looming large in the profligacy of government. He expounds his warnings and his postulates of public-management truths in the light of history's lessons.
In his own words, Kirk's goal in writing The Conservative Mind was "[t]o review conservative ideas, examining their validity for this perplexed age . . . . This study is a prolonged essay in definition." His ability to absorb and then cogently present those ideas-and to do so at a time when answers were needed before the cascade of liberalism, misplaced sympathy, and fuzzy logic overwhelmed public thinking-are what make this work still masterful and relevant. A failure to comprehend Kirk's history makes the confusion and contentions of the twentieth (and now the twenty-first) century even more confounding.
time understanding what he sees after the war when the first edition was published, and then later in this revised edition as conservatism became resurgent.
for whom they felt either contempt or a condescending and unrealistic pity.
Those of a liberal bent are yet again at that crossroads (still looking for perfection) where they decry the principles of both common sense and commonality, but without a hint of what they would substitute in their place. Of course, the fact that those of a conservative mind find support in religion further drives the liberals over the edge, for the liberals see no answers in faith, or prescription (learning from the past), only in the long discarded and destitute rationalism of the Enlightenment (an era now clearly understood to have been misnamed, at least when it comes to human experiments in governance).
What Kirk offers in his investigation are the details of the development of conservative thought and conservative reaction to the ascendancy, first, of the Enlightenment's rationalism and then both American liberalism (a philosophy of sorts) and socialism (its political and economic foundation). Conservative theorists refused to accept contrived and artificial social conceptions (mostly collectivist utopian schemes where everyone would end up above average, as in Lake Wobegon, author Garrison Keillor's whimsical Minnesota enclave) and instead engaged in organized opposition to this protean and constantly expanding liberalism. They founded their criticisms on the brutality of coerced conformity embodied in universalist dogma, and in its place insisted that human dignity and individual capability be the basis of society.
egalitarianism: opportunity embodied in action. Kirk favored a self-ordering hierarchical society molded about the realities of human interaction and individual abilities, not government controls or edicts. He recognized that equality of result was a false god.
governed by reason, are no longer awed by authority.
Kirk wanted no part of mass media, but he did not decry its existence, only its mercenary goals and its methods of half-truths, exaggeration, and distortion used to attain pecuniary success. Like any other tool, he felt that the press could be and regularly was misused by those who wielded its power. For Kirk, therefore, it was up to the rest of us to put up a universal resistance to those of its means and ends that distorted, or worse, public issues. He would be further saddened today by the still more pronounced uselessness of the press for its intended purpose-to inform, even provoke, but only when integrity was at the core. At the beginning of Kirk's era television was the rising but not yet dominant medium. Even then, Newton Minnow, President Kennedy's Federal Communications Commission chairman, saw a "vast wasteland" in television-and that has not changed. Although TV remains potentially one of our most effective vehicles, it has become too trivialized and politicized to be taken seriously. That brings one back to Kirk's method-reason, founded in facts not emotion.
By temperament Kirk could not be a fatalist. The often-meaningless circularity of modern society was not strong enough to overwhelm him. Custom, convention, constitution, and prescription (making decisions today based on past experience), all malleable, all changing as life progresses and alters, are still the foundation of Kirk's conservatism. There is no single answer, and all answers are subject to review. Such review, though, must always be within reason, taking into account the enduring truths manifest in historical precedents of proven efficacy. Indeed, Kirk's most important contribution to conservatism is his contention that utopian politics cannot supplant historical reality-the reality that people suffer from the human experience of false starts, inattention, and failure, in addition to their successes and great acts. Against the evolving landscape of widely varying human interaction, conservatism's goal is to maintain a foundation of individual freedom.
since he wrote The Conservative Mind, the more oppressive the government the greater the number who ultimately rise against it. What Kirk also fears, however, and what William F. Buckley, Jr., enunciates in Up From Liberalism (Chapter 17) is the incremental loss of freedom evidenced in progressively more intrusive and overweening government. These fears always have been and always are well founded, thus vigilance is ultimately the citizen's first and last defense. This understanding is so core to all governance that it bears emphasizing: vigilance is ultimately the citizen's only defense.
language, as does Buckley on many occasions; Kirk is not reticent to call to account the misuse and misapplication of words. In this fashion, it was not just accuracy, but exactness (not only of language but with regard to subject as well) that became the calling card of conservatives-much to the benefit of everyone concerned.
Finally, Kirk believes in the continuity of human progress, that life becomes discernibly better century by century, if not decade by decade. He recognizes that the forces driving progress, such as the prompting of enlightened self-interest or the value of precedent, have always been greater than those of political opportunism, which tend to be anarchic. While he embraces man's natural impulse to strive for improvement he accepts that continuity is generally more dominant than change. Kirk knew that continuity provided a sense of certitude that allowed us to travel through life with enough comfort to be secure-but hopefully enough opportunity to make things better.
To be fully appreciated, Kirk's treatise requires a certain amount of background, both philosophical and historical. Most of those details are presented in the volumes previously synopsized in this book, which is why Kirk's effort appears as late as it does while being so core to understanding conservatism. However, Kirk also discusses and makes use of the efforts of additional authors, theorists, and philosophers who are not represented in First Principles, thus it may be worthwhile for the reader to independently follow inviting tangents as they are brought to the fore while benefiting from The Conservative Mind. Of course, the Internet offers virtually instant and comprehensive access to what may be helpful in comprehending Kirk-so the opportunity for additional viewpoints, theories, experience, etc., is not so difficult to resolve, and the results of such investigations can be substantially rewarding.
Michigan State University) and Duke University. He wrote about so many subjects in so many disciplines that to list them all would risk losing the forest for the trees. He wrote fiction as well as insight and commentary, and he received awards in both fields. The Conservative Mind, his best-known work, changed thinking about political reasoning in the mid-twentieth century. It still ranks as one of the key books of the conservative canon. Vindication for his life's work, in the elections of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, made Kirk's early years of political philosophical struggle seem prescient.
Kirk was a professor at Michigan State University until the decline of educational standards led him to return to his home in the northern part of the state, the place where he was most comfortable and productive. Kirk died in 1994 but not before completing his autobiography, The Sword of Imagination, a book through which interested readers can begin to appreciate the breadth of his knowledge and understanding.

At St. Mark’s, it is a long-standing tradition to have Prize Day. The day is specifically designated to present the hard work of the graduating VI Form class and to guide the new alumni into the real world. Prize Day originates all the way back to 1866, a year after the school was founded. Like most schools, St. Mark’s holds the tradition of the Valedictorian, but what’s different here is that VI Formers vote for the student representative for Prize Day. Anthony D’Angelo ‘18 was elected by his classmates as the Valedictorian and to address faculty and students on Prize Day. Anthony is the epitome of a St. Marker: he succeeds in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the community.
Students at St. Mark’s are challenged in every way. For many of us here, the hardest idea is to find time to balance academics, athletics, and extra-curriculars. Anthony strives to be a successful student who can do it all. Academics is vital to him; Mr. Lubick, Director of Financial Aid, a leader in the Admissions Office, and a VI Form English teacher, has been a true role model for him. Not only is he intuitive, according to Anthony, but he’s also compassionate and caring, and it is a faculty member who Anthony aspires to be. During his time at St. Mark’s, Anthony has succeeded in integrating himself into the community. He has taken on multiple leadership positions, including captain positions and Peer Discussion Leader (PDL). PDL’s are V Formers who help to guide a designated group of III Formers through their first year at St. Mark’s through Peer Discussion Groups (PDG), by answering their question and helping them become comfortable in the new environment. I had two PDL’s, and one of them was Anthony. He truly lead by example and reflected some true values of a St. Marker upon my group.
Football is an important aspect of his life. What stands out about Anthony is his positive energy and attitude towards everything. He devotes 110% on the football field; his commitment and passion for the sport is unteachable, as it is something that must come from within. A St. Mark’s memory that is most prominent for him is his Groton game his junior year. Although not a lot of people go to the football games, he said, this one in particular was mobbed. It was a close game all of the way through, and St. Mark’s came through victorious. All of the fans were decked out in blue and white everything, especially face paint.
Anthony exemplifies true leadership qualities on the field and for the underclassmen. I asked some of his fellow football teammates how they perceive him. These words were those of a true leader, being that he is a “thumb guy”, “mentally strong”, “a fountain of energy”, and “the best leader I have ever known”. While interviewing his teammates, I learned that Anthony has inspired his teammates to always work their hardest and be their best. This isn’t the only sport he displays. Being a tri-Varsity athlete, he is able to demonstrate his attributes on St. Mark’s Varsity Wrestling and Baseball teams. He has become the heart of these teams, according to his underclassmen teammates, and his presence will not be forgotten next year.
If Anthony had to give one piece of advice to the younger St. Markers, it would be to stay true to yourself. When times are stressful, do not let others try and change you. Allow your strong values to shine to the world. Trust yourself and how you communicate with the world every day. By being real, you will develop a stronger connection with yourself and others around you.

HOCRU (The Human Orangutan Conflict Response Unit ) programme supports the conservation of the critically endangered Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) through research, education, rescue, and the implementation of best practice techniques for mitigating conflict. The HOCRU team responds to human-orangutan conflict reports, as well as reports of illegally held captive orangutans, and conducts regular field monitoring of translocated and known isolated populations of orangutans. They conduct data collection and mapping of forest-adjacent villages to gain understanding of crop-raiding species, and host regular outreach and training workshops on human-wildlife conflict mitigation methods, as well as distributing educational materials.
Since 2010 HOCRU has been responsible for the rescue and evacuation of a total of 61 orangutans from conflict situations. Of these, 28 have already been released into the protected forests of the GLNP adjacent to our forest restoration site in North Sumatra province, 2 have been released into protected forest in the Aceh province, 5 have been released into the Jantho Reintroduction programme, 2 have been released into the Bukit Tiga Puluh reintroduction programme, and the remaining 14 are still being cared for in the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) quarantine centre.

We broke into two groups and cleaned two sections of river - About 12 miles.
We all arrived at ShelHaven to meet our UMRA drivers who ran our shuttles.
We took some photos. The early morning sunlight did a number on our photos.
The BRCS, BLC, TAPC Crew with PIRATES!
The weather was clear and cool, with a north breeze that blew us down the river.
One car full of pirates joined us to help do this project.
two youngsters who were better paddlers than some of the adults.
Some old trash was found- This beer can is 50 years old.
I found this dock near ShelHaven that I will work on later.
The kids and adults all had a blast on this gorgeous section of the Manistee.
It wasn't all fun and games. The kids worked, too.
Quinten Branch pulled this 25 pound 4 X 4 out of a logjam and brought it over to me.
"Tommy Tugboat" offered to help the tired paddlers get home.
After we loaded up at Hole In The Wall Landing, we all headed to the "Barn"

Season after season, leading the fashion gurus, the coolhunters and fashion magazines they agree to launch the proposals that will be in the street. Designers propose but…What makes the consumer?
At the end of this season, already immersed in rebates, it is time to analyze the trends What They have not succeeded, Despite its insistent emphasis on the media. Do you know what?
While it is true that the epicenter of the global economy is moving towards Asia and designers increasingly make more winks to China, the truth is that kimonos launched by Dries Van Noten, shirts with collar of Louis Vuitton or floral prints of Paul Smith they have not had their translation on the street. Except for rare occasions, this proposal does seem, in the eyes of a Westerner, a disguise of Chinese operetta.
With the exception of the color block, return to the seventies has not been successful which initially was supposed to. The fluorine has only been seen between the more fashion victims, pants flared They flatten and the psychedelic prints they are difficult to combine. If we add the hair fried and carded and the Chronicles which were 1970s youth and age who took to recover your hair smooth and healthy, here’s the crux of this lack of harmony with the Decade.
Bananas of Miuccia Prada and Charlotte Olympia, oranges of Stella McCartney.. .salvo some “fruit t-shirts” in the low-cost temples, street has ignored these prints, then remind us to a kitchen curtain. Years ago we already had with prints of cherries of LV bags, and do not want to repeat.
All these “small failures” They show that no one has secured the success formula; for many market research, travel, photographs and textiles fairs, the truth is that consumers have the latest opinion and the power to decide that it wants to be, he likes and that discards. The “remote control” is essential in fashion.

The Bulgarian Weightlifting Federation (BWF) has issued a plea to former medallists to help pay a $250,000 (£179,652) fine for excessive doping.
Eleven Bulgarian weightlifters failed drug tests in 2015, leading to the team being banned from the 2016 Olympics.
The Bulgarian government has refused to help, saying "there is no legal basis for paying the fine" issued by the International Weightlifting Federation.
The governing body could lose its licence if it fails to pay by 18 June.
BWF president Nedelcho Kolev said he had asked for a deadline extension but the request was dismissed.
The cash-strapped BWF has now asked the country's former European, world and Olympic champions and medallists to contribute towards the fine, as well as "their coaches and club managers, their families and friends".
It also extended its plea to "all citizens of the country" in what it described as a "critical moment".
Bulgaria has won 37 Olympic medals in weightlifting, including 12 golds. Bulgarian weightlifters have also won 224 medals, including 79 golds, at world championships, as well as 167 European titles.
The 11 athletes involved in the in 2015 scandal tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol during training.
Eleven Bulgarian weightlifters also failed doping tests prior to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, leading to the team's withdrawal, while the team was stripped of three gold medals and sent home in shame after positive tests at the 2000 Sydney Games.

The hanging of Joe Jump, 19, and John Smith, 22, for the murder of Wm. Gladson on Dec. 29, 1885, was Daviess County’s first and only public execution. The crime took place between the trio of friends  Jump, Smith and Gladson.
The hanging of Joe Jump, 19, and John Smith, 22, for the murder of Wm. Gladson on Dec. 29, 1885, was Daviess County’s first and only public execution. The crime took place between the trio of friends — Jump, Smith and Gladson.
The original 4.5″x7″ card issued by Sheriff James H. Witt of Daviess County, MO.
Both Joe and John were shady characters and had been charged with other serious crimes. Wm. Gladson was a railroad worker and had worked at a grade near the Grand River bridge. Upon the job’s completion he had his pay with him. While in town he met Joe and John and the trio became friends.
Joe knew Gladson had money. He told John they should kill him for it. The plot began and Joe placed a pitman rod near a vacant house with a nearby well. The two men found Gladson and said they should go to the old house and play cards. Once there, Joe took the pitman rod and hit him while John held him. John released him and started hitting him with a slingshot. Gladson laid lifeless and they threw his body in the vacant house’s well.
The two men divided the money. Joe loaned John $50, but he still had $100 of his dad’s money. He’d already decided to leave town with his money. Upon purchasing a suit, he ripped open the top of its drawers, hid his part of the money in them, and sewed them back.
Soon, two negroes, Thomas Dale and Alex Walker, were hauling cheat [oats] to store in the house. Thomas saw a hat laying in the yard and stopped to get it. He saw a small pool of blood and signs of something being drug to the old well. He noticed the rails covering it had been moved and there was blood on its side. One of the men went to town to get help and soon other men arrived and used grab hooks to pull the body from the well and the body was taken to town.
The next morning, John repaid Joe the money he’d loaned him. He told him not to spend any of the money around Gallatin, but to take it to Cameron and exchange if for other money. Before long, Joe had his ticket and waited for the train to Cameron. Constable Gabe Cox walked up to him and told hem he had a warrant out for his arrest for the murder of William Gladson. He was taken to the depot and searched, but didn’t find the three $20 bills in his drawers. However Alex Walker found the money in the band of his hat. Joe was taken to the Chillicothe jail. Smith was given two weeks to prove he was innocence, but failed to do so. He, along with Jump, were found guilty and ordered to be hung.
Preparations for the hanging of Jump and Smith were made. The scaffold was located near the Rock Island railroad and were a special made “double seater” made for the two men to be hung at the same time when two 3’x4′ trapdoors supporting the chairs they would be sitting on would open at the same time. The trapdoors would be sprung with the pitman rod used to kill Gladson.
A rope was attached to a boom eight feet above the platform and spiked together. A fence was placed around the structure which only allowed a few select men to be inside. A black coffin covered with gunny sacks was placed under the steps.
It is not know whether this photo is the crowd witnessing the hanging of murderers Joe Jump or John Smith. This first execution of 19-year-old Joe Jump attracted a huge crowd (estimated between 20,000 and 30,000 people); the Rock Island ran special trains to Gallatin for the benefit of spectators. Two weeks later the hanging of John Smith drew witnesses estimated between 8,000 and 10,000 people.
On hanging day, both regular and special trains were loaded with passengers. Gallatin became a temporary city of 20,000 to 30,000 people. The previous night some 250 wagon loads of spectators camped near the Grand River bridge, and about 100 teams camped northwest of town.
Daviess County Sheriff Witt had issued 50 invitations to other county sheriffs to attend. The sheriffs lined up by twos and marched to the depot to receive Jump. At the appointed time, Sheriff Witt started to strap him and put a black cap over his head. The sheriff unfastened the handcuffs, fastened the rope around his neck, and the murder weapon used to kill Gladson was used to set the trapdoor, letting his body fall seven feet. He was dead in 12 minutes.
Joe Jump, 19, was executed by hanging on July 23, 1886, for the murder of William C. Gladson on Dec. 29, 1885. Jump along with John Smith killed the Iowa teamster to steal his Rock Island Railroad weekly paycheck. The public execution was performed just west of Route MM and a few hundred feet north of Highway 6 in Gallatin. A huge crowd (estimated from 20,000 to 30,000) witnessed the event; the Rock Island ran special trains to Gallatin for the benefit of spectators.
John Smith, 22, was executed by public hanging on Aug. 7, 1886, for the murder of William C. Gladson on Dec. 29, 1885. Smith along with Joe Jump killed the Iowa teamster to steal his Rock Island Railroad weekly paycheck. Smith was executed on the same wooden gallows used to execute Jump just two weeks earlier before a crowd estimated between 8,000 and 10,000 people.
When John Smith’s two weeks were up, the same ground preparations made for Jump’s hanging were used for Smith. The crowd was estimated to be between 8,000 and 10,000 people. At the appointed time the train carrying the prisoner arrived. Smith was escorted to the scaffold and seated by Sheriff Witt and Sheriff Smith. At roughly 12:00, the sheriffs began pinioning him.
Soon, the pitman rod was used to open the trap door and 11 ˝ minutes later he was dead.
About 40 people attended funeral services, which consisted of singing, praying and a short sermon. The body was taken to the Herdon Cemetery, where it was buried by Jump’s grave.

Jan - 03 | By: Jim Becker | No comments.
How did I come up with this one? I saw an awesome lightning photo just off of Port Hedland..it was fantastic. So, today seniors travel to the Outback in Australia.
Port Hedland is the second largest town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, with an estimated urban population of 15,100. It is also the site of the highest tonnage port in Australia.
Port Hedland, is known by the indigenous Kariyarra and Nyamal people as Marapikurrinya, which means “place of good water”, as told by a Nyamal language speaker.
Port Hedland is the gateway to the Pilbara. To the east senior travelers can explore the wild, rugged beauty of Karijini National Park, with its spectacular natural gorges, waterfalls and pools, perfect for hiking and walking. The main industries are iron ore processing and export, salt production, and livestock production.
Port Hedland was established in 1896 in Kariyarra country on the Pilbara coast about 1,110 miles from Perth. Today there are two main centers: business Port Hedland, located on the coast, and residential South Hedland, 8 miles inland.
Port Hedland is one of the world’s largest and busiest working harbors, filled with grand, austere ships that transport hundreds of millions of tons of cargo each year to distant places.
In Port Hedland, anyone coming to the center of town has a ringside seat for some of the greatest industrial drama in the Pilbara, a large, dry, thinly populated region in the north of Western Australia. It is known for its Aboriginal peoples, its ancient landscapes, the Red earth and its vast mineral deposits.
Red earth…now view Red Dog, a 2011 film about a dog who took it upon himself to travel all over the Outback. It is based on the incredible, legendary, true story of a red dog who united a disparate local community while roaming the Australian Outback in search of his long lost master. At the 2011 Inside Film Awards, Red Dog was nominated in nine categories and won seven, including best feature film.
Port Hedland has a natural deep anchorage harbor which, as well as being the main fuel and container receiving point for the region, was seen as perfect for shipment of the iron ore being mined in the ranges located inland from the town.
Other major resource activities supported by the town include the offshore natural gas fields, salt, manganese, and livestock. Grazing of cattle and sheep was formerly a major revenue earner for the region but this has slowly declined.

On the first day of a women’s period (menstruation), while some only experience bleeding, unfortunately many experience severe additional symptoms. It is a hard, painful and therefore unmotivating day for those starting their monthly period and already causes thousands of women to take time off.
Many women, as well as heavy bleeding, get additional, sometimes severe, symptoms such as abdominal and back cramping, headaches, muscle and joint pain, sickness, etc. And additional symptoms, like fainting, due to other health problems like anemia.
Menstruation for many women make school/work days almost unbareable, it is extremely stressful and hard to concentrate. Many women already feel the need to take days off or go home due to this, where they can allow their body to rest.

Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to support calls from north-east farmers to reverse a tractor ban on the new Aberdeen bypass.
The First Minister is due to attend the Turriff Show today – the largest summer event for the agricultural industry after the Royal Highland Show.
Scottish Conservative MSP Peter Chapman has challenged Ms Sturgeon to tell farmers if she is in favour of the restrictions planned for the new Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR).
Mr Chapman has written to Transport Scotland to seek clarity after local officials suggested that the bypass would be granted “special road” status, which would mean agricultural vehicles are excluded.
The issue was highlighted by farming industry body NFU Scotland during a round table discussion at the New Deer Show last month.
Mr Chapman said there is also the question of increased greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural vehicles being forced to travel through the city rather than using the AWPR.
Mr Chapman, who is also a local farmer, said: “Nicola Sturgeon is coming to the heart of the north-east farming community today.
“This presents an ideal opportunity to show that she supports local farmers and their call to be allowed to drive tractors on the new bypass.
“From the correspondence I have seen, it appears the AWPR will be given special road designation, meaning tractors won’t be allowed.
“I have written to Transport Scotland, but I have yet to receive a response.

A WordPress website can boost your business and help you in getting success but finding the best hosting provider for your site is a very hard job if you don’t know the features each one of them will provide you. This post will help you in getting the best hosting for yourself without spending too much money or time.
Ideally the best host will not only keep your site in the best health but also provide site support like no other. You will have not only a website that's always up and running but also a supporting host which enables your site to perform better and generate more leads, eventually leading to more profits.
Every website builder wants his website to load faster than its competitors do. Now, many hosting providers use SSD storage and HTTP/2 protocol, which boosts the speed & performance of the website. Moreover, features like content delivery networks, can increase your sites performance even more.
Security is also a top priority when choosing a hosting provider, as without good security, you will lose your whole site in an instant. Hacking attacks are increasing day-by-day, so the security systems too are getting better by time. Many hosting providers take proactive steps to avoid hackers, and regular backups are advised to keep for the worst-case scenario. Up time of a website is also one of the major effecting factors, which affects the frequency of repeat visitors. It can be seen below that Dream Host was active only 94.06% of the time, which means that it becomes vulnerable sometimes in the month. Other than Dream Host, all the other four hosting providers were active 100% of the time.
Do keep in mind that the numbers are in averages and the performance is to vary across time on any given day.
everything depends up on the commodity known as money. There are hosting providers which will give you many features on the rate of peanuts where as there are those who will charge you a few bucks extra for the same service. An average user will need an easy to use interface and website migrations on the other end, geeky users drool for SSL and staging.
Flywheel is a very user-friendly hosting platform. It provides many things free like, fixes when your sites are hacked and Flywheel also has very high benchmark scores.
SiteGround provides many benefits for its users. It starts from merely $4.95 a month and the extra features of SiteGround gives this hosting provider a big upper hand.
The DreamHost is also a good hosting provider and is among the most used hosting providers in the world. DreamHost is a bit costly than others.
WP Engine, as the name suggests, is meant for the WordPress websites only. It provides preinstalled WordPress and they have a very good and professional support.
Bluehost is the most popular hosting provider of WordPress and gives many benefits including better security and speed than the others do.
The aspects you judge a hosting provider on are speed, accuracy, security, support, and value for money. If you’re new to WordPress, you wouldn’t want to spend much on a hosting provider. A host that’s above average will surely satisfy your basic requirements (which all of the above will), especially if your site’s ever really likely to turn profits you can always upgrade your pack. What you need to realize is that the quality of your WordPress host will affect your site's performance in the long run. So do ask yourself what you want and how your priorities are set. Do you want a host that’s the safest? Or do you want a host that’s the fastest? Do you want the host that’s the cheapest? Or do you want something which has the balance between all these aspects, but isn’t that cheap?
Site ground is the most affordable provider from all and still has its mark on WP hosting when it comes to performance. However, Flywheel with its entirely Managed WordPress hosting is an awesome choice for those who are less experienced or for someone who is looking to host for their client. It's jam packed tools, and add-ons like multi-site config, migrations, backups, and analytics give it an edge. If you are looking for an overall balance between cost, performance and security WP Engine is an excellent choice. Starting options are from $30/month with a sixty day money back guarantee. Its back end is very impressive, and they also offer a complete range of add-on features for developers.

The final installation or summary of our mini homeschool retreat is in! I’ve been thinking about this one. There is so much on my mind and so much to say or not to say… Homeschooling in the hard times is the subject of this talk by Elsie Ludicello at the Portland Wild + Free.
We had our own hard times in 2015 and I’m not sure I homeschooled well. I know my kids survived, I know we did what we could, and I know we made it through. But I also know I didn’t really take time to stop and intentionally try to plant some routines that would serve us well and help us get through the tough times. We did slip into some routines that were helpful and did work and were successful. Were they the best options? I’m not sure. Was there something better we could have been doing? I’m sure there was.
I was barely holding myself together and trying to lead and teach four kids and work was almost more than I could do. Looking back I can see how God was oh so faithful to bring us through. And not only bring us through, but refine us in the process. No I would never want to go back and do it again, but we are definitely a changed family. We love people more and we have more compassion. I know I’m humbled… I can see more of my weaknesses and failures and be ok with where God has me. Knowing that He has me here for a reason and a purpose. I’m not a failure because of my weakness… God uses my weakness to show me His power. It was such a hard, hard time. And although those times are past, the pain still returns, it will never go away and our story isn’t over.
God has used our story to bless others and grow us. But after listening to this talk by Elsie it makes me want to do a better job preparing now for the hard times that will come. God doesn’t promise us an easy life. Our life of ease and rest is coming in heaven. We have a life of work, suffering and pain, sweetened with joy, life and relationships. We shouldn’t be seaking what God promises in heaven here on earth… but I digress.
Recognize beauty in unexpected ways. Beauty helps us get through hard things and it can help to change our sadness. I can say from personal experience it’s hard to find things of beauty when in difficult times. It takes work and intentionality, but it’s worth it. Those things are even more beautiful than ordinarily they would be.
Acts of humility begets character. Humility is not weakness. We were created to need other people. This world today expects mothers to be self sufficient and be able to do everything that needs getting done. In hard times it is SUCH a means of mercy and grace when we allow others in and allow them to serve and care for us. We are blessed, but they too are blessed in the giving.
A new way of measuring. This one really stood out to me. “Motherhood is not performance – it’s presence.” She says. Yes… so hard… and yet just sitting, reading, being with our kids is worth so much. I shouldn’t be measuring the success of the day by what got done or what got taught, but by how needs were met, who needed an extra hug, where have I expected perfection?
Improve air quality. Wonder about things and my kids will too. If I love reading, then they will too. If I want to learn more about art and find it amazing and stimulating, they will catch my wonder and interest as well. I should be caring about my education, just like I care about the education of my kids. They will see that I love learning and find importance in it as well.
Habit/Rhythm – Ordering of Affections. Honestly I can’t remember much about this one… someone else who listened,… help me? I have noted: Moving from survival to thriving. And pruning is often painful but never harmful. Sorry… this one may not be of much help, but no matter how much I stare at my notes, I really can’t remember.
Confidence in my capabilities. The wonder is found in our perseverance. Just because we are broken doesn’t mean we aren’t capable. My love and desires for my children makes me more capable than anyone else… because I care more than anyone else.
Our kids see us struggle. They know we are in hard times. We can’t fool them into thinking we are ok and everything else is ok. My husband and I really can’t keep many secrets from our kids, so they know when it’s a hard time. When we have lost babies, they have been in the sadness and tears with us. They have walked hard roads too.
But… our kids also see us struggle, fall and get up, over and over and over again. They see our faithfulness in falling before The Throne of Grace to find mercy and help in time of need. They see us run to Jesus the Author and Perfecter of our faith. They know we struggle, and they know we keep running back to Jesus. That’s what our kids need to see, and that THAT can’t be taught in any classroom, except in our homes.

Alternative/indie rockers Holy White Hounds have a headline show at Smiling Moose on July 22nd. The band will be performing songs off their debut albumSwitchblade. They are climbing the Rock Radio charts (currently at #18) with their single ‘Switchblade’. A guy from Billboard come out to their NYC show stating, “I would recommend their show to anyone”.
The Holy White Hounds story begins in 2005 with the friendship of founders and primary songwriters Brenton Dean (vocals/guitar) and Ambrose Lupercal (bass), who later on added James Manson (guitar), and Seth Luloff (drums).

How many words are in an Integer in PLC5/04 Processor?
Max should be 255. One way to verify would be to create a new offline SLC project in RSLogix500 for the type of processor you have and create a new Integer data file containing, say 1000 elements.
Last edited by RonJohn; December 28th, 2017 at 08:32 AM. Reason: Indexing across data files caveat emptor.
Actually you can have a total of 256 elements per integer file in a SLC or Micrologix. The highest element number will be 255.

residential construction | Harmon & Davies, P.C.
Most people probably think that “Show me the money!” is the Jerry McGuire quote that best describes lawyers. But that’s not true. The quote that best describes lawyers is “help me . . . help you.” And there are many things that a client can do to help his or her lawyer in a litigation case. Here are some simple, but effective, considerations for a win-win situation. Doing these four things will make your case more efficient, and success more probable.
1. Preserve Evidence. Your lawyer can only defend and prosecute your case with evidence. Also, the failure to preserve evidence can be used against you. Thus, Rule #1: Preserve Evidence. Start by identifying all the potential locations of evidence: Paper format; electronic devices; servers; cloud/online storage; and third party sources. These should be saved to ensure that evidence is preserved. After identifying the sources of documents, help your lawyer by culling and gathering the documents. It is also useful to specifically identify the documents that you think are most relevant to the case. Likewise, identify all potential witnesses and provide your attorney with the last known contact information.
2. Know you’re objective, and what you’re willing to settle for. At the beginning of the lawsuit, clarify your objectives. Consider the best-case outcomes; consider the worst-case outcomes. And consider the outcomes that you want to achieve. It is also best to consider what you’re willing to concede (or spend), in order to achieve the desired outcome.
3. Understand Risks. Nothing is certain. Nothing is promised. Nothing is guaranteed. Litigation is unpredictable. At least one major fact or witness will turn out completely different than anticipated. The law can be murky, too. An analogy: Imagine that you own a 2007 Honda CRV with a book value of $10,000. Now, imagine that you park the 2007 Honda CRV on the street with a “For Sale Best Offer” sign. What type of offer might you get? Would it matter if your CRV is sold in Lancaster, or Camp Hill, or Gettysburg, or West Chester? The book value might be $10,000; but the reality is that it will be sold on a specific day, at a specific location, with a specific buyer. You might get $10,000 exactly, but probably not. Likewise, the legal books might say that your dispute should be determined one way or another. But the reality is that it will depend on the specific facts of your case, with a specific judge or jury, in a specific location. Just like the sale of the CRV – litigation is not an exact formula.
4. Understand Negotiated Settlement. To avoid unpredictability, and to achieve finality, settlements are wise. But, to get something, you need to give something.

Bright and is intended for educational purposes and to give you general information and a general understanding of the law only, not to provide specific legal advice.

In 2012 the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, in the matter of Commerce Bank/Harrisburg, N.A. v. Kessler et al., ruled in favor of a general contractor by finding that the general contractor’s mechanics’ lien had priority over the mortgagee’s lien. For those outside the construction industry this might not be titillating news, but for members of the industry (and their lawyers) who rely on mechanics’ liens to ensure payment, the holding is welcome news.
The story starts in October 2006 when the general contractor contracted with a couple to build them a luxury home in Harrisburg. Shortly thereafter, the GC started excavating. A few months later, in January 2007, the couple got a construction loan from what is now Metro Bank for up to $435,000, which loan was secured by an open-ended mortgage that was recorded that same month.
The home was substantially complete in August 2007. Unfortunately, the couple was unable to make their mortgage payments and Metro Bank filed a mortgage foreclosure action against the couple and obtained a default judgment against them for $403,994.84 in July 2008. The couple also failed to make their payments to the general contractor and the general contractor obtained a default judgment against the couple in the amount of $411,304.14 in February 2009.
Thereafter, Metro Bank and the general contractor became entangled in a legal battle over which judgment took priority, in other words, there was a dispute over which party was first in line to collect the proceeds from the sale of the home. The trial court entered an order holding that the judgment entered in favor of the general contractor took priority over the judgment entered in favor of Metro Bank. Metro Bank appealed.
(2) An open-end mortgage as defined in 42 Pa.C.S. 8143(f) (relating to open-end mortgages), the proceeds of which are used to pay all or part of the cost of completing erection, construction, alteration or repair of the mortgaged premises secured by the open-end mortgage.
49 Pa.C.S.A. 1508(c)(2) (emphasis added). Metro Bank took the position that this section of the Mechanics’ Lien Law gave its mortgage priority over the general contractor’s mechanics’ lien, but the general contractor argued that the open-end mortgage upon which Metro Bank based its lien did not satisfy the requirements of Section 1508.
Indeed, it was undisputed that a portion of the proceeds of the open-end mortgage in this matter paid for expenses other than “completing erection, construction, alteration or repair of the mortgaged premises.” Rather, some of the proceeds were used to pay costs such as tax claims, closing costs, satisfaction of an existing mortgage on the property, and payment of other judgments and liens. The general contractor argued that to allow use of funds for reasons other than those expressly set forth in Section 1508(c)(2) would, for example, permit a lender and owner to defeat a contractor’s lien rights by using as little as $1.00 out of $1,000,000.00 for the enumerated purposes set forth in Section 1508(c)(2) and therefore Metro Bank could not rely on Section 1508(c)(2) to subordinate the general contractors mechanics’ lien on the property.
In ruling in favor of the general contractor, the court also disagreed with Metro Bank’s contention that the mechanics’ lien was invalid on the basis that it allegedly failed to contain the statutorily mandated statement of the kind and nature of materials furnished. Although the general contractor’s lien claim described the kind and character of the work as “all labor and materials required for the construction of a two story residential dwelling” and referred to the construction contract, Metro Bank argued that because the lien claim failed to attach the drawings and specifications referenced in the contract, the statement of the kind and character of the labor and materials furnished was too vague. As such, Metro Bank asserted that the mechanics’ lien was invalid.
The general contractor argued that his lien was not invalid because he substantially complied with the requirements of the Mechanics’ Lien Law. Again, the court agreed with the general contractor noting that multiple Pennsylvania cases interpreting the “contents of the claim” section of the Mechanics’ Lien Law have long held that “in considering a mechanics’ lien claim, it must be kept in mind that substantial compliance with the Act is sufficient” and that the express terms of Section 1503((5) only required a general statement of the kind and character of the labor and materials furnished. Accordingly the court held that the lien claim sufficiency described the nature of materials furnished.
Lesson Learned: If all the proceeds of a mortgage were not applied to the cost of completing erection, construction, alteration or repair of the mortgaged premises, a contractor’s mechanics’ lien claim should take priority over the lien of a mortgagee. Of course, these things can vary depending on the circumstances of an individual case and it is highly recommended that a general contractor consult with a lawyer to ensure that its lien rights are protected to the maximum extent possible.
The Superior Court of Pennsylvania recently upheld a York County jury verdict that found a homebuilder personally liable for defective construction work. In Bennett et al. v. A.T. Masterpiece Homes at BroadSprings, LLC et al., two sets of homeowners who purchased new residential homes from A.T. Masterpiece Homes at Broadsprings, LLC (“A.T. Masterpiece”), sued the limited liability company and its managing member, Grant Colledge, in his individual capacity, for breach of contract, breach of warranty, and violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (“UTPCPL”) alleging that the defendants engaged in deceptive and dishonest practices during the construction process.
The homeowners alleged that during the construction of their homes they noticed numerous building deficiencies and that Colledge, who was the homeowners’ primary contact during the construction process, made certain assurances to them in the form of statements akin to: “I guarantee it” or “I will take care of it.” For example, when one of the homeowners noticed that the dormer above his garage did not correspond to building plans and structural design, Colledge assured the homeowner that the dormer had been redesigned and the final product would work fine. In another instance, a homeowner visited her home to check on its progress and noticed a crack in the foundation. When the homeowner reported the crack to Colledge, he stated that he “will take care of it and will take care of you.” Colledge made other guarantees regarding issues with the flooring and repeated his intention to take care of both the specific problem and the homeowner’s general concerns.
After construction finished, the homeowners discovered that their new homes were in various states of disrepair and structural failure. The dormer that had been an issue on one of the homes was in such bad structural shape that the homeowner had to install temporary bracing to avoid collapse. There were other alleged deficiencies including nails protruding from sections of drywall, cracked tiles, and floors being so poorly laid that a person could feel the joints move while walking.
The homeowners retained an engineering expert who found similar construction defects and housing code violations in each home. The deficiencies included: using poor grade lumber, improperly installing the floor joists, and housing code violations related to the insulation, height clearances, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical systems.
At trial, the jury found Colledge and his company liable for breach of contract, breach of warranty, and violations of the UTPCPL. The jury further concluded that Colledge’s representations and guarantees regarding the homes exposed him to personal liability and awarded the homeowners double the damages under their UTPCL claims.
Colledge appealed his case to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania arguing that the trial court erred: (1) by permitting the jury to hold him personally liable to the homeowners when he did not specifically agree to assume liability; (2) by holding him personally liable when there was no evidence of fraudulent conduct by him; and (3) by doubling the jury’s award under the UTPCPL when the Court itself did not view Colledge as an absolute crook.
Colledge argued that he should be shielded from personal liability because he was at all times acting only as an agent on behalf of a limited liability company. Colledge claimed that any statements attributed to him (where he said “I will take care of it” or “I guarantee it”) were simply figures of speech and did not amount to express assumptions of personal liability. The Superior Court disagreed and found that there was ample evidence presented at trial to lead the jury to find that Colledge had assumed personal liability.
The Court noted that the several occasions where Colledge had reassured the homeowners that he would take care of their concerns and made express promises guaranteeing the quality of their homes did not take place in a vacuum but in the context of recurring building deficiencies which arose during construction of the homes. The court stated that although the homeowners officially contracted with A.T. Masterpiece, Colledge voluntarily assumed personal liability on the building contract when he guaranteed the final quality of the home because the statements were intended to calm the homeowners about the building deficiencies and to maintain their contracts.
Moreover, the Superior Court found that there was sufficient evidence to support the jury’s finding of liability under the UTPCPL because the jury was not required to find proof of common law fraud to find that Colledge had engaged in misleading conduct under the UTPCPL. Again, the facts presented at trial showed that Colledge made numerous specific representations to the homeowners regarding the construction and ultimate quality of their homes. Despite such guarantees, Colledge failed to deliver the quality he promised to the homeowners and the homeowners received brand new homes in need of many thousands of dollars in repairs. The jury heard this evidence and concluded Colledge’s conduct was deceptive or misleading. Thus, the court found that the evidence at trial was sufficient to support the jury’s finding.
This case is concerning not only for contractors, but for any business owners who make statements such as “I guarantee it.” In light of this decision, Pennsylvania small business owners should be particularly careful about the assures that they give to clients or else they may find themselves personally liable.

Mexico players celebrate after winning the Caribbean Series baseball final, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on Feb. 7, 2016.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Jorge Vazquez hit a home run to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, lifting Mexico's Mazatlan Venados to a 5-4 comeback victory over Venezuela's Aragua Tigres for the Caribbean Series championship.
It was Mexico's third title in four years.
"We never gave up. We always battled to the fullest and kept our heads up, so today we celebrate this crown," said Mexico coach Juan Jose Pacho, whose team won all six games it played in the tournament.
Mexico took an early 2-0 lead, but Venezuela came back with two runs in the fifth inning and two more in the seventh to grab the lead. In the bottom of the seventh, Venados' Sebastien Valle drove in two runs to tie it.
Mexico held Venezuela scoreless the next two innings, giving Vazquez the chance to win the game.
Venezuela's only two losses in the series were to Mexico.
"That's baseball," Venezuela coach Eduardo Perez said. "We played hard and gave everything on the field. Congratulations to Mexico because they did a great job and are worthy champions."
Mexico reliever Steven Hensley was credited with the win after coming in to retire Venezuela's final batter in the top of the ninth. Starter Eddy Gamboa pitched six innings, giving up nine hits and four runs -- two earned.
Renee Cortez took the loss for Venezuela, pitching two-thirds of an inning. Starter Freddy Garcia gave up four hits and two earned runs over 5 1/3 innings.
For Venezuela, Hernan Perez went 3-for-4 with a homerun and two RBIs, and Sandy Leon was 3-for-3 and scored a run.
