The post Recent Case Hurts Supplier's Enforcment of Lien appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
In Hill v. VNS Corporation d/b/a Choo Choo Lake Oconoee, et al, a case decided earlier this month by the Fourth Division Court of Appeals of Georgia, the plaintiff, a building supply company, sued the property owner to enforce a materialman's lien against that property, but the court of appeals did not agree with the activities of the trial court and reversed the trial's court's decision.
Background & Facts: The owner had contracted with a custom home-builder general contractor, who in turn purchased materials from the plaintiff for use in constructing a house on the owner's property. The general contractor failed to pay the supplier for all the materials, which led to several legal claims. The supplier filed a materialman's lien under the Georgia's Mechanics and Materialmen's Lien Law against the real property where the project was located, sued the general contractor and loan guarantor for breach of contract, and sued the property owner on the basis of a materialman's lien against the property.
Supplier Prevails Against GC and Guarantor: The plaintiff won a summary judgment against the general contractor and guarantor for payment which included prejudgment interest, and attorney fees pursuant to the building supply company's credit application's terms and conditions.
Supplier Prevails Against Project Owner: The trial court also ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the claim against the owner, granting summary judgment for the materialman's lien and also making an award for the supplier's prejudgment interest.
Project Owner's Appeal: The owner appealed the lower court's decision, contending that factual questions remained regarding the amount of the materialman's lien sought. If there is a genuine issue of material fact, such as the actual amount owed on a lien, summary judgment is improper. The appeals court agreed with the owner that there was an unanswered question of fact, finding that the plaintiff has the burden of proving the lien amount due at the trial court level. The court also noted that a materialman's lien against the property owner will fail if the owner can show that payments were properly made and applied to the payment of the plaintiff for the labor and materials at issue. The appeals court also reversed the lower court's award of prejudgment interest, which may not be claimed if the lien amount is not fixed and agreed upon, and attorney fees, which are not lienable items under Georgia law.
Practical Tips For Suppliers and Other Georgia Lien Claimants:
1. File a Timely Lien: If you as a supplier have not been paid by the party with whom you have a contract, you may place a materialman's lien against the real property owner if your labor and materials improved that property. This does not require you to have a contractual or any other relationship with the property owner, who has benefited from your materials and work. Remember that all Georgia construction liens must be filed within 90 days of the last day in which the lien claimant actually worked on or supplied to the project or within 60 days of the date of the lien waiver–whichever deadline is shorter!
2. Document and Prove the Amount Claimed in the Materialmen's Lien: If you as a supplier have a valid materialman's lien against improved property, the amount of the lien must be fixed by agreement or proven in court.
3. Property Owners Should Track Their Payments: If you are a property owner being sued to enforce a materialman's lien against your improved property, try to show that you made payments properly to the contractor for the payment of third party supplier's labor and materials.
4. Interest and Attorneys Fees are Not Includable in Lien Amount: If you are a defendant in a materialman's lien suit, note that attorney fees and prejudgment interest are not lienable items under the Georgia lien statutes.

The post Waiver of Sovereign Immunity in Georgia Contract Claims appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
Generally, sovereign immunity protects the state and other government entities (such as the federal government) from being sued without consent. This doctrine comes from British law and embodies the idea that the government (or, originally, the monarch) cannot commit a legal wrongdoing. Governments may waive this defense of immunity – thereby agreeing to be sued – so that citizens with claims against them may seek proper recourse.
Before the United States began waiving its sovereign immunity, would-be claimants' only recourse was to get Congress to pass a bill in their favor. The unwieldiness of that process eventually brought about sovereign immunity waivers for particular types of claims – such as contract disputes, import duties, and internal revenue complaints – in specialty courts, allowing the government to be sued. Today, governmental entities – from local municipalities to the federal government – voluntarily waive their immunity in a variety of situations.
In 1939, the Georgia Supreme Court recognized the historical presence of sovereign immunity in the state and noted that if the citizens preferred to allow suits against the government, they should seek the removal of the immunity through their elected legislators. However, the people of Georgia embraced sovereign immunity by approving a constitutional amendment in 1974. Today, the Georgia Constitution allows for the state's sovereign immunity to be waived by the General Assembly in specific situations and explicitly waives it for claims stemming from a breach of a written contract entered into by the state.
The State of Georgia Claimed that Performance Bond Company Could Not Sue State Agency due to the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity: In the case decided last week, the Georgia Department of Corrections – a state agency – contracted with a roofing company for work on a prison. The company obtained the required payment and performance bonds from a surety company. In addition, the roofing and surety companies signed an indemnity agreement that assigned the roofer's right to payment under bonded contracts to the surety. The state allegedly restricted jobsite access to the roofing company, contrary to the contract terms, which inhibited the roofing company's ability to perform under its roofing contract with the state agency. When the roofing company failed to perform under the contract, the surety fulfilled its performance bond obligations by providing another company to complete the roofing work. The surety later sued the state for breach, claiming it had no obligation under the payment and performance bond issued to the roofing company due to the state agency's duty to provide access to the site.
Surety Prevails In the Lower Court: The trial court ruled in favor of the surety, concluding that the state waived sovereign immunity by contracting with the roofing company and that the surety could stand in place of the roofing company since it assumed the obligations under the bond. The state appealed on the basis that the surety (the performance bond and payment bond company) was not a party to the roofing contract and therefore, it claimed, the state's waiver of sovereign immunity for breach didn't apply to the surety. The appellate court affirmed the lower court's findings.
Surety Prevails on Appeal to Georgia Supreme Court: On final appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court, the state lost again by the same reasoning: (1) the stated waived sovereign immunity by entering into a written contract, and (2) after paying the debts of the contracting party, the surety may stand in the place of that party for rights under the contract. As the Court noted, the constitutional waiver addresses the suit – not the party suing – against the state.
This decision comes just a week after the Texas Supreme Court addressed the sovereign immunity issue in Zachry Construction Corporation v. Port of Houston Authority relating to a general contractor's delay claims against a local government entity. The Court held that the government could not claim an absolute defense against the contractor's claims, although the Court was divided on this point. A Texas statute waives sovereign immunity for a contract claim for "balance due and owed." The Court was split as to whether delay damages were "due and owed" under the contract since the no-damage-for-delay clause prohibited such damages.

The post It Is Time to Update Your Credit Applications appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
Isn't it generally true that the best time to ask for something from someone is when they want something from you in return. It doesn't matter whether it's your spouse, your neighbor or your boss, if they need a favor from you, they are more likely to grant your favor in return. Thus, the best time to get pertinent information from a customer is when they want to purchase something on credit from you! And yes, by utilizing materialman's liens and payment bonds laws you can substantially reduce your exposure. However, getting the right information in the beginning can help you immeasurably.
Look at it this way, when a potential customer contacts you and requests to purchase materials for use on a construction project, use this opportunity to get information which will make collection faster and easier in case you have future payment issues with this customer. Similarly, when an existing customer contacts you and requests an increase in their credit line, guess what? It's another opportunity to (i) add useful information to their credit file and (ii) update the borrower's information in their file.
As the (recent) recession has taught us so well, even the best customers can become credit risks. In this day-and-age, even one bad construction project can topple an otherwise good company.
Written Credit Application: Credit Applications are an easy and ideal way to collect all of the information used to determine a customer's credit worthiness to your firm and to assist you in pursuing bad-debt. Standard forms can be uploaded to your company's website which allow prospective purchasers to easily assess your forms. Although there are some very good, useful template credit application forms available, it is worth the investment to use the template as a starting point–use it to build an application based upon (i) your specific industry and (ii) real-life situations your company has experienced. Also, don't let the form become static; instead, mend the form every time you think about or learn about additional, useful information.
Yes, you are likely already asking the question "What Information is Important to Know to Determine Credit Worthiness?", but you should also be asking the question, "What Information Will Help Us Collect Our Money If The Borrower Defaults?" Adding this perspective can make the difference between collecting your open accounts and forfeiting your money.
Since we are a law firm focusing on Georgia construction law, and more to the point Subcontractor Law, we regularly have to file, enforce and foreclose upon liens to get our client's their recovery. A very common scenario exists where our client received a monetary judgment for the amount the are owed, but the judgment must be collected. Frequently, the first (and most useful) information comes from the judgment-debtor's (your customer's) application for credit. Consequently, we have seen countless credit applications, and we encourage that at a minimum your credit application includes the following:
Written Account Terms: Depending upon the nature of your agreement (such as open account or written contract), you should always have every customer sign an agreement of your written terms. Having your customer's consent to your terms is invaluable to asking a court for recovery-in-full. For example, seeking attorney's fees on collection matters can be much easier to get if your customer has agreed (in writing) to paying for your attorney's fees. Please consider including the following terms on your contract or open account agreement:
Personal Guarantees: Most customers are willing to provide personal guarantees prior to receiving the materials which you are able to provide them, but it's almost impossible to obtain a PG after credit has been extended. Pursuant to Georgia's Statute of Frauds, a personal guaranty MUST be in writing in order to be enforceable. Here are some ideas which you should consider adding to your PG:
Use Georgia's Statutory Construction Notice Scheme for your Benefit: As you likely know, third-tier subcontractors (which are generally sub-subcontractors and material suppliers to subcontractors) must comply with Georgia's statutory construction notice scheme; although it may seem cumbersome because it may require you to send notices to the project owner and the general contractor, there are advantages to compliance; when you supply at a third tier level, it is important to meet all of your notice obligations; although your customer may not have all of the necessary information, you should try to get the following from them before you supply to them (or extend them credit):
Don't Forget! In order to take advantage of some of the useful collection techniques permitted by your industry, you must make certain that your internal accounting procedures comply:

The post New Home for the Braves Underway! appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
Although there has been some preliminary site work, construction of the new Atlanta Braves stadium complex in Cobb County officially began with the September 16th ceremonial groundbreaking. The general contractor, joint venture American Builders 2017, is on schedule to complete the project for Opening Day 2017. The county is funding $300 million of the $672 million project. "This new ballpark will be a world-class venue that will give Braves Country the ultimate fan experience, both inside the park and out," said Braves Chairman and CEO Terry McGuirk.
The designs call for 41,500 seats distributed over three cantilevered decks designed to bring each fan closer to the action, a canopy three-times larger than average, wide concourses with field-views, and indoor viewing areas. Fans will have fourteen access points to enter the park and parking will be evenly distributed around the complex.
But this 74-acre mixed-use project is for more than just baseball fans. According to the September 2nd press release, the "project will be the first of its kind – a lifestyle destination that will seamlessly integrate a state-of-the-art baseball stadium with an engaging multi-use community." Shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues on the property will be open year-round, even on baseball-free days.
In April of this year, the Braves and Cobb County detailed the construction schedule. This initial schedule calls for clearing to be completed in October, grading to be completed in December, and stadium structure construction to begin in early 2015. The selection committee considered proposals from interested general contractors who had built at least three major sport facilities – including a new Major League Baseball stadium – in the past decade. American Builders 2017, a joint venture between Brasfield & Gorrie, Mortenson Construction, Barton Malow Company and New South Construction Company, won the bid for general contractor. Fuqua Development LLC will serve as the retail development partner; Pope & Land Enterprises, the office development partner; and Pollack Shores Real Estate Group, residential development partner. JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) has been named the project manager and The Jerde Partnership will serve as the master land planner on the development.
Although American Builders anticipates completing the stadium by April 2017, there are construction concerns. They expect to encounter a shortage of skilled labor, due in part to the construction of the Falcons' downtown Atlanta stadium. Project director Len Moser expects peak construction to require over 1,000 workers on site. In addition, American Builders noted the new Braves' site is rocky and will need extensive grading given the dramatic elevation changes.
One of the first construction tasks will be to relocate three natural gas lines that run under site of the planned stadium project. The lines run about 8 feet underground for one-third of a mile on the site. Stretching from New England to Louisiana, these pipes run under I-285. However, structures cannot be built above them for maintenance access purposes. Relocating the lines will cost Colonial Pipeline Company and Atlanta Gas Light Company, who own the lines, approximately $14 million, but they will be reimbursed from the project's funding. The work will be contracted out and requires three phases. Plateau Excavation, Inc. has been hired to complete the initial clearing and grading work, which started in May. The second phase involves digging trenches to place the pipes; the third, removing the current pipes. Relocation is expected to be completed in November.
Although the move of the team from Atlanta to the metropolitan suburbs of Marietta, the team has defended its decision. The Braves have no ownership or management rights in their current facility, Turner Field, which they lease from the city. Turner Field was built for the 1996 Olympics and has hosted the Braves since 1997. Although the team has invested nearly $125 million for maintenance and improvements, Turner Field still requires approximately $150 million in infrastructure work and another $50 million on fan experience improvements. Additionally, the stadium is poorly situated for modern transit and logistical concerns such as insufficient parking and highway access. When the lease expires in 2016, the city and the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority will decide the fate of Turner Field.
We wish all the participants in this exciting project all the best, that construction delays will be minimal, that payments will be timely, that there are no performance issues, no materialmen's liens filed or payment (or performance) bond claims needed; we hope the weather will cooperate and that the scheduling will be met. Good luck! And, good luck to the Braves this and every season!

The post Legal Fees and Construction Lawyers appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
We are thrilled to confirm that Cobb Law Group's rates are among the most competitive in the nation! In the September 2014 edition of the ABA Journal (the official journal of the American Bar Association), reveals the national averages of attorneys' hourly rate.
At large law firms (those with 400 or more attorneys), senior partners charge an average of $724 per hour! At smaller firms, senior partners bill an average of $445 per hour. Since we are a small firm offering "big firm" services, our clients will be pleased to learn that we are significantly lower than the $445 average rate for a firm our size, and we are nowhere near the costs associated with hiring a large law firm.
The poll, also include the typical rates for "partner" and associates. The partner rates range from $385 to $581 per hour. We are pleased to say that even our "senior partner" rates are significantly lower than other, comparable firms "partner"rates! And the associate rates which range from $274 to $400 per hour are not even in our vocabulary. In other words, in every category, we offer much better rates than our peers.
We knew that we offered top-notch legal services at an exceptional value, but the report (issued by BTI Consulting Group) confirms this for us. One thing that the ABA Journal article did not discuss was the fees for those attorneys specializing in a particular area. Even thought this article did not mention this topic we are confident that firms which focus in particular areas and become know for their innovative work are able to charge more. Thus, our legal fees are likely even better if we could compare them side-by-side with a true competitor.
As our existing client pool understands, our firm is very unique: not only do we focus on our clients' needs, but by limiting our practice to Georgia construction law, we are able to know and understand one area very well–we are not having to"reinvent-the-wheel". In addition, we speak regularly at local, state and national continuing education events. That is why clients who hire us to draft their construction contracts, to file mechanics and materialmen's liens to help them collect the money they are owed, to make payment bond claims or to handle a Miller Act claim find that we are able to assist them more quickly and with fewer problems because we spend so much of our time doing the same thing for other clients. All of this experience leads to lower over legal costs.
True, legal fees can be expensive, but the staff and lawyers at the Cobb Law Group are constantly striving to reduce our expenses and pass the savings on to our clients. Our employees are rewarded for innovative or streamlining procedures which can reduce workload and improve client satisfaction.
In addition to learning from our employees, we also welcome ideas from our clients and try to implement them to work more efficiently. For example, recently, a client wanted us to create a "form"demand letter to send to its past due customers; plus, they wanted us to produce a quick, but affordable alternative to a customized letter. We were able to create a unique letter for that client and offer the form at a reduced rate in exchange for a high-volume. We strive daily to offer the best services at the best rates. And, if you have any questions regarding our rates, please contact us today.

The post Subcontracting Law Book Gets Great Review appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
In the Summer 2014 edition of The Construction Lawyer (Volume 34, Number 3), noted construction attorney, Adrian L. Bastianelli, III wrote a glowing review of Construction Subcontracting: A Comprehensive Practical and Legal Guide which was published in April.
The Cobb Law Group's founding partner, Mark Cobb, was a contributor to this book exploring the unique needs and obligations of subcontractors and material suppliers. As Mr. Bastianelli points out:
"Subcontractors are the backbone of the construction industry. For every prime contractor, there are multiple subcontractors. . . The law dealing with the prime/subcontractor relationship generally is well developed and can be unique, complicated, and unpredictable."
The review continues to laud the editors and confirms that the book met its editors and authors' goals in that it
"It covers the full landscape of subcontracting issues. The book not only provides a detailed discussion of the legal principles and case law relating to subcontracting, but also offers sound practical advice for both prime contractors and subcontractors on how to dal with problems and avoid disputes."
Mark Cobb participated in writing the section of the book focusing on payment issues, and the reviewer confirms:
"Payment is always a key topic of concern for subcontractors and an area where there has been considerable litigation. The authors discuss pay-if-paid versus pay-when-paid clauses, prompt payment statutes and laws, setoff, and the impact of flow-down payment clauses. Intertwined with the payment chapter are separate chapters on liens and bonds."
Mr. Bastianelli concludes his thorough and glowing review of the book with the following statement:
"The editors and authors should be commended for producing an important, comprehensive book on a subject that is of such great importance to the industry. The book will be an important tool on the construction lawyer's bookshelf and should be a book that prime contractors and subcontractors regularly use."
We greatly appreciate Mr. Bastianelli's kind words and the time he took to read and assess the 628-page book. Mark was honored to be a part of this notable project and to work with some of the greatest living construction lawyers in the country.

The post 20 Early Warning Signs for Payment Issues appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
by Mark A. Cobb
It doesn't matter whether you are a material supplier delivering products to a subcontractor, a subcontractor performing work directly for a GC, or a GC building a structure for an owner, you expect to be paid for the labor, materials, and equipment which you provided. In fact, without payment, it could send your business plummeting downward if you cannot pay your own bills.
We highly recommend that before entering into any construction contract, you perform proper due diligence and protect yourself as much as possible. No matter how thorough you are, however, as the project continues, one of the parties involved with the project might experience a material change in their business or their cash-flow which can directly impact you and make recovery of the money you are owed more difficult. Thus, you want to keep evaluating each customer's credit-worthiness.
For over 20 years, clients have shared with us some of the early-warning signs (which they largely ignored) which indicated that their customer might be a payment risk after the initial credit-check, and we thought our readers might like to see this list (and add to it themselves!) The following is a checklist of situations which may indicate that you are working with a potentially distressed party:
1. A change in your customer's bank account may indicate many things including accounts closed, banking problems, a garnishment, etc.
2. Your customer pays you from different bank accounts (unless its accounts are separated by project, escrow, etc.); this is unprofessional and may indicate spreading out their assets to avoid garnishment or to rely upon the float by the banks.
3. Significant fluctuations in your customer's inventory may indicate volatile business practices, changes in credit with other vendors, etc.
4. An unusually large order may indicate that the customer has undertaken a project larger than its capabilities.
5. Unexpected / unplanned growth of your customer's business; great businesses maintain and update business plans; unplanned growth can cripple a business, overextend its employees and assets, and cause the business to fail to meet its new obligations.
6. High debt to equity ratio; customers in this position are a credit risk.
7. When your customer loses a major job or client; if too much business comes from one relationship, then the loss of that business can be devastating.
8. A generally disorganized approach to its business, accounts payable, accounts receivable is scary; likely, that business does not understand the extent of their liabilities, realistic expectations of income, etc. and that could put you in a dangerous position if you need to implement collection procedures.
9. Rumors; my Mother always told me that "where there is smoke, there is fire."
10. If you hear comments from other construction industry professionals that your customer isn't charging enough, then it might indicate that your customer is trying to get business on any terms in order to improve its panic for cash-flow; inevitably, they will run out of money and someone (hopefully not you!) will be left holding the bag.
11. Requests to extend payment terms may indicate that your customer needs more time to "shuffle" its assets to pay you.
12. Liens (including state and federal tax liens which are all public record); a 10-second check on-line can indicate the fiscal health of your customers.
13. Slow payments: creditors and debtors typically establish a billing and payment practice over time, when they deviate, it may indicate a potential problem.
14. Employee layoffs; if possible, visit your customer at their office, a reduction in their workforce could hint of problems to come.
15. Key employee changes dramatically alter the bottom-line and the business practices; when changes in management occur, they may use other vendors (forgetting to pay you), may emphasis other payment policies, could indicate that top management was receiving their paychecks or benefits.
16. Family and health issues related to owner or key employee (or their families) such as divorce, death or serious illness can greatly impact a business relationship.
17. Excessive downtime may indicate unexpected reduction in your customer's revenues.
18. You customer's business is for sale or sold; there may be ways for a new purchaser to avoid debt incurred prior to the sale; it can also indicate financial or industry-specific problems; also, it may result in a new corporate atmosphere which may make collection more difficult; frequently, the new owners tell you the former owner is responsible for the debt, but the old owner tells you that the new owner assumed the obligations.
19. You receive excessive inquiries for credit references for your customer; this might be a customer who is trying to expand their credit in order to generate funds to pays others ("borrow-from-Peter-to-pay-Paul syndrome).
20. Excuses for nonpayment or slow payment (lost invoices, "check is in the mail", skipped invoices, unsigned checks, NSF checks, "no one is available to sign the check", etc.); excuses are never a good sign.
Good credit management means vigilance. Do not agree to extend credit, perform work, or supply materials unequivocally on a long-term project without some follow-up to see if your customer's financial position has changed. If it changes, and if you react promptly enough, it will make recovery of your money easier and reduce your exposure. Fortunately, you have several options including filing a preliminary lien, obtaining personal guarantees, and requiring stricter terms. In next week's blog we will explore some of the options you may want to consider when you see indicators that a customer may become a credit-risk to you.
If you have other early-warning signs that alert you to potential payment issues, please leave a comment below.

The post New Arbitration Rules for Construction Cases appeared first on Georgia Construction, Bond & Lien Law Blog.]]>
by Mark A. Cobb
Beginning this summer, there is a new set of supplementary rules for the arbitration of construction cases. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) promulgated these rules in an attempt to lower participants' costs and to fast-track certain construction matters.
The new rules do not apply to arbitration claims less than $75,000; similarly, they do not apply to arbitration claims more than $5 million. Thus, the intentions are to make the process more efficient for the middle ground claims. Some of the changes include the following:
How Do I Claim the Benefits of the AAA Supplemental Rules? If you are interested in taking advantage of the new supplemental arbitration rules for your construction claims, then we suggest that you include a specific provision in your construction contract which states that the fee caps of the supplemental rules will apply to matters originating from your contract.
If you are already involved in an arbitration matter, then the parties to the arbitration may choose to proceed under the supplemental rules by a joint submission to the AAA.
This is just a very general overview of some of the changes which contractors involved in arbitration will see in the future, and it will take some time to determine whether the AAA's goals of shortening the arbitration process and capping the fees on certain construction claims has been met.
If you have any comments regarding arbitrating claims between $75K and $5M with the new rules, please let us know below.

One aspect Mark will address are non-payment issues including the filing of a Claim of Lien against the project. Here is a sample of the summary of Georgia's lien laws which he will present:
Who Can File A Lien?
∙ Architects and Engineers, Surveyors, Foresters
∙ Contractors in privity with the Owner
∙ Subcontractors in privity with the GC
∙ Sub-subcontractors and suppliers if they sent an NTO (and an NTO was required)
∙ Remember: if you do not have a required license, then you do not have the right to file a lien
Why File a Lien?
∙ To secure the money you are owed
∙ To make third parties responsible for the money you are owed (even though you didn't contract with them)
∙ To apply pressure on those upstream who may be delaying payment
When Would you Consider Filing a Lien?
∙ When you are owed money
∙ Retainage!
Important Things to Know About Liens:
∙ Lien Claimant must have substantially complied with the contract
∙ Lien is (generally) enforceable up to the amount of the improvements actually made
∙ Thanks to legislative efforts on behalf of the AGC Georgia, liens may be for full contract amounts
∙ Contractors who abandon project may not be entitled to file a lien (however, they may recover amount for partial performance under theory of quantum meruit)
∙ A Lien Claimant who ceases work after being told they are not going to be paid can file a lien
Filing Deadlines for Liens:
∙ 90 days from Last Day Worked or 60 days from date of Lien Waiver (whichever is shorter)
∙ Last Day Worked is NOT Invoice Date
∙ Lien must be perfected ("suit filed") before the first anniversary of the filing of the lien
∙ Liens must be perfected within one year of the date on which they are filed, otherwise, they automatically expire
∙ Liens are perfected by (i) filing a lawsuit against the entity with whom you contracted and (ii) filing a Notice of Filing of Action to Perfect Lien with the clerk of court in the county where the project was located
∙ "Foreclosure" of Liens are generally an additional, separate step to perfecting liens. Unless there is jurisdictional alignment, a lien claimant must wait to seek foreclosure against the owner of the real estate until after they have received a judgment against the entity with whom they original contracted

Alvaro Barrientos, Associated Press
MADRID — Day after day, Spanish chef Jesus Lopez serves up treats like a steaming stew of red beans with spicy chorizo sausage and bacon chunks. And that's just the first course. Next comes hake au gratin on a bed of spinach, and cream-stuffed puff pastry for dessert.
Lopez owns a small, upscale place catering to business people who eat the old-fashioned Spanish way and often come to negotiate or celebrate deals. They punctuate work with a break of two hours or more for a hearty meal — the rest of the work day be damned. But many now wonder if struggling Spain can continue to afford a tradition that — for some — borders on sacred.
"It is quintessentially Spanish," said Lopez, a friendly, thoughtful man of 48. "The problem is that there are fewer things to celebrate these days."
Indeed, as Europe's economic crisis bites hard, the eurozone's fourth largest economy is saddled with its own myriad woes, and low productivity resulting from long work days is one of them. It is groping for ways to reinvent itself after a housing bubble that largely fueled the economy went bust three years ago. Unemployment now stands at 21.5 percent. Debt is piling up everywhere.
One thing that would help is to scrap the traditional productivity-sucking black hole at midday, say economists and advocates of a more American-style 9-to-5 schedule.
These reform-seekers say people would be more rested and motivated, and thus perform better, if they could clock out earlier and get home to do things like exercise or raise their kids in person.
More and more companies are at least taking notice of these benefits and considering a switch, but old habits and mindsets — like the idea that working long evening hours scores bonus points with the boss — take time to change, these advocates say.
Even the federation representing Spain's small- and medium-size companies — which represent more than 90 percent of Spain's businesses — says canning the long split shift is worth considering.
"We want to avoid excessive work days that contribute nothing to productivity," said Teresa Diaz de Teran, head of CEPYME's labor relations department. "We see this as an issue to study, an area where there is room for improvement."
There's a general election coming up on Nov. 20, and the private Association for the Rationalization of Spanish Schedules, a lobby group pushing for Spain to make better use of its time, both work and leisure, has contacted all the major candidates for prime minister to back their call.
Antonio Camunas, a business consultant who runs a company called Global Strategies, puts it bluntly: "In Spain a tremendous amount of time is wasted. No doubt about it."
Of the 17 nations that share the euro, Spain is 10th in productivity per hour worked, according to Eurostat, the European Union's statistical agency.
There is no Spanish law that mandates workers get two hours for their midday meal, a pause traditionally associated with the siesta (although these days such a snooze is just a dream for most big city Spaniards because of long commutes that make it impractical to go home for lunch.) Rather, the length of lunch breaks is negotiated by unions and companies.
Decades ago, Spaniards did in fact eat lunch earlier, in sync with the rest of Europe. But after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 — and the ruinous period of hunger and other hardship that ensued — people often needed two jobs to support their families, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Thus, a later and longer lunch break and some rest time, and the birth of a custom.
These days, the Labor Ministry said the National Statistics Institute say they have no firm figures on how many workers have what kind of break at midday.

Return of the Deniers
At least this year, thanks to private enterprise (and no thanks to Barack and Al, etc.), heating bills will be a bit cheaper, especially in the states that use fuel oil.
Let our government release the models it uses to predict Global Warming to the general public. Those of us who went to college for science, math and engineering can look at them and either join the choir, or dispute them on a factual basis. What's to be lost?
Storm Clouds
The ability to sustain this debacle depended upon solid Democratic majorities in Congress. Mr. Pres should have been happy with this alone, and left the rest of his agenda for someone else. President Obama's policies have so alienated the productive sector of our economy that the Democrats have lost their majorities, and we are about to see Democratic Senators defecting to the Republican side to repeal Obamacare because of the drastic premium increases that will create a public outrage against the law. Distancing themselves from Obama now is going to be the first priority for those 20+ Democratic Senators who will be up for reelection in 2016, and maybe even for those who face reelection in 2018.
Watch it happen. Obama owns this one.
Chattanooga State
Chances are that Clay was denied an adjunct faculty position teaching future unemployed artists how to draw lame political cartoons. There's a reason why Chattanooga State does not offer degrees in things that don't lead directly to jobs. People who aren't going to work for a living might as well be uneducated, because there's no value in teaching them skills that don't lead directly to jobs.
Pizza Party
We had pizza last night. I went to the grocery store and picked up a 5-cheese pizza, plus pepperoni, ham cubes, green pepper and pineapple. I brought all that home and cooked it in our own oven. None of it was paid for with EBT. I spent money that we earned, and we had exactly what we wanted, and it cost considerably less than it would have to order one to be delivered, or to pick up ready made. So, let's review the facts:
I made the effort to go out and purchase the ingredients.
I paid for them with money I earned.
I made the effort to put it all together and cook it at home.
I saved money by doing most of the work myself.
I got exactly what we wanted.
No government was involved during the entire process.
Yeah, that's very Republican. So sue me.
I wonder how many Democratic felons receiving EBT ordered pizza last night and paid twice as much for the same thing?
The Law
What patriot said is true. I had to provide the same verification as everyone else to get a Tennessee ID. Make it simple; have the legislature pass a law to make verification of ID for the purpose of obtaining a voter ID card FREE. Everyone certainly pays enough sales tax to cover the cost of something that simple.
The Law
There is absolutely no reason why, in this day and age, a person 18 and older should NOT be able to procure a photo ID. In fact, there are very few legitimate things a person can do WITHOUT a photo ID. The only reason for a person to resist providing an ID is that they are not entitled to vote (not registered, or a convicted felon, or not a citizen).
Looks just like another disenfranchised voter to me.
The families of DEPLOYED military people are at home, helpless, if ISIS decides to attack them where they live. Attacks can also take place on bases, and guess where people are not allowed to keep weapons? In their housing quarters on MILITARY BASES! Military members do not go armed on the base as a general rule, unless they are on-duty security forces.
If the President cannot count on his own elite protection force to do one simple and direct thing, why should we count on the VA, IRS, Homeland Security, Department of Agriculture or any of the rest of them to do what they're supposed to do?
Accountability in government disappeared when agencies began to grow just to provide jobs for liberal constituencies. Oh, I forgot the Department of Education.
Now we have Ebola in Texas, ISIS is threatening attacks on the families of service members in this country, and our borders are letting in thousands (including, undoubtedly, some terrorists) who cannot be tracked. Want to guess who they'll be going after? Not the gun owners; nope.
Welcome to the world you created, liberals. Have fun with it.
Happy Labor Day
What should be in the box? Money they printed? Only the Feds can print money.

Well, not really a problem with Angela Carter, but with different versions of her work. A few years ago I read her collection, The Bloody Chamber, and loved it. So I picked up the collected stories for a future Halloween read, and this year decided to crack it open. I didn't read in order, but skipped around, and greatly admired a story called The Fall River Axe Murders, about Lizzie Borden. It's quite an accomplishment in terms of storytelling--we never see the actual murders, and the action, what little there is, takes place in the early morning hours of that fateful day, as Lizzie rises and reflects on her life. The narrator, who is not Lizzie, gives us more context. Little happens, but even though we all know the outcome of that day, it's suspenseful and dripping in dread.
So. I decided to look up more information about Carter and this story. Imagine my surprise when I found some indignant Amazon reviewers who--rightly--complained about this edition's brutal editing of this very story. Well! There was nothing for it but for me to try and find the original version, which was published in a British collection called Black Venus (and in the U.S. as Saints and Strangers).
Those Amazon reviewers are right. The version in Saints and Strangers is longer, and better. Saints and Strangers was published while Carter was still alive, Burning Your Boats three years after her death. Salman Rushdie wrote the intro to the collected works, and he singles out the Borden story for praise, but makes no mention of the cuts. Is this something Carter herself sanctioned before her death? If not, who did, and for goodness' sake, why?
Comparing the stories side-by-side, I found many cuts, and in other places, sentences and paragraphs that were entirely rewritten (and not for the better). On the chopping block (sorry):
"In this city of working women, the most visible sign of the status of the Borden girls is that they toil not. 'Clickety clack, clickety clack, You've got to work till it breaks your back!' the looms sing to the girls they lured here, the girls fresh from Lancashire, the dark-browed Portuguese, the French Canadian farmers' daughters, the up-country girls, the song whose rhythms now govern the movements of their dexterous fingers. But the Borden girls are deaf to it.
"Strange, that endless confinement of these perpetual 'girls' who do not labour in the mean house of the rich men. Strange, marginal life that those who lived it believed to be the very printing on the page, to be just exactly why the book was printed in the first place, to be the way all decent folks lived."
Why would you cut that?
Worse, an extended scene involving family meals is cut entirely, and that's a terrible loss. It ends this way: "In and out of the ice-box went the slowly dwindling leg of mutton until Thursday dinner was cancelled because corpses and not places were laid out on the table as if the eaters had become the meal."
It's shocking and disappointing that such a massive editing of an iconic story took place with no acknowledgement or explanation. My copy of Burning Your Boats has just tumbled onto the donation pile, and I'll continue reading the library copy of Saints and Strangers instead.

Seth Rollins
Real Name
Colby Lopez
Date of Birth
May 28, 1986
Place of Birth
There is a split backstage in WWE when it comes to viewing Dean Ambrose as a main event performer. A lot of people in management do not view the former Shield member as someone of that caliber. He also has his supporters, and that group has probably increased in size after his superb performances with Seth Rollins at Summerslam 2014 and Monday Night Raw.
August 21, 2014
While there was some confusion on his actual departure from the company because he worked some matches after Summerslam 2014, Rob Van Dam has now confirmed that he is done with WWE. The former world heavyweight champion fulfilled his contractual obligations and is going to take a couple of months off. RVD stated that he will then decide if he wants to make another return or not.
August 30, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
At Summerslam 2014, fans witnessed the beginning of the feud between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella when the former turned on her sister and helped Stephanie McMahon win the match. The belief is that the feud was instigated by the producers of Total Divas. They wanted an intriguing story for the upcoming season of the show.
August 21, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE officials were not too pleased with the performance that Alexander Rusev put on at Summerslam 2014 in his flag match against Jack Swagger. His selling of an ankle injury was sub par, and the manner in which he sold it was not very fitting of his character. WWE really wants him in the main event scene, so they're paying much more attention to his matches than usual.
August 21, 2014
There were some talks backstage in WWE of bringing in Rey Mysterio to help do promotions for Summerslam 2014. He lives three hours away in San Diego and is especially popular in southern California. However, that never happened. The shows how bad the relationship is between the two sides, as Mysterio reportedly wants to be free of his contract with the company.
August 21, 2014
When WWE announced that they were moving Summerslam 2015 from Los Angeles to New York, the company did not reveal the actual location of the pay per view. There are rumors floating around now that Vince McMahon may try to do the event at the massive MetLife Stadium that was the host of Wrestlemania 29. It's quite the risky endeavor, so the belief is that WWE will eventually end up choosing the Barclays Center or the IZOD Center instead.
August 21, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that AJ Lee is going to be leaving WWE very soon. Those speculations were further flamed last night when she dropped the Divas Championship to Paige at Summerslam 2014. The root of the rumors stems from a comment that Jim Ross made on his blog. It was just something that the long time commentator was speculating upon.
August 18, 2014
Reports going around state that Rob Van Dam finished up his latest stint with WWE during the kickoff match at Summerslam 2014. His departure from the company had been expected since he only agreed to a short term contract. Some are under the belief that this might be the last stint for RVD since the audience has been a bit lackluster towards him this time around.
August 18, 2014
Over the last couple of years, Summerslam has grown to become a tradition in Los Angeles. Last night, however, WWE announced that the tradition is going to be broken. Summerslam 2015 will be held in the New York area. No official word yet on why Vince McMahon called for the change. The venue has not been announced yet, but rumors are floating around that McMahon wanted something more than the Staples Center.
August 18, 2014
Since he did not fly home to Florida after the live WWE event last night, the belief is that Hulk Hogan will be making an appearance at Summerslam 2014 tonight. There is also a good chance that he will be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw tomorrow as well. WWE sent their private jet to northern California last night, so that the performers did not have to make the five hour drive down to Los Angeles.
August 17, 2014
Rumors are floating around that WWE officials have yet to finalize the rules for the flag match between Alexander Rusev and Jack Swagger at Summerslam 2014. The issue right now is that the creative department wants to make both guys look strong in the match. There is also a belief that they want Swagger to get the victory without taking too much heat away from Rusev.
August 16, 2014
While he may not be on great terms with WWE officials, Mick Foley apparently is still on very good terms with a lot of the performers. A handful of them, including Road Dogg, took the time and made the effort to go watch his comedy show in Ventura. The venue is approximately 90 minutes away from the Staples Center, where Summerslam 2014 will be held.
August 16, 2014
While she is not doing a practice match with Brie Bella before Summerslam 2014, Stephanie McMahon is actually putting in a lot of hours training with Triple H. The couple routinely work out together, so it makes sense for him to put in some ring time with his wife. The match is not expected to last very long, and a surprise ending is still being planned.
August 15, 2014
The speculation right now is that Rob Van Dam will be taking another break from WWE after Summerslam 2014. The former world heavyweight champion is not currently booked for the pay per view, but there are talks that management could squeeze him into a match at the last minute. RVD did not exactly get involved in a lot of stories during his latest tenure, so there are talks that this could be his last run with WWE.
August 13, 2014
There is some confusion within WWE right now in regards to the upcoming flag match between Alexander Rusev and Jack Swagger at Summerslam 2014. Since the heel foreigner utilizes a submission maneuver, there are talks that officials could allow that rule to be added. There are also talks that it could just simply be a thing where the winner gets to wave his flag and have his national anthem played after the match.
August 12, 2014
Since she is being featured in one of the biggest matches at Summerslam 2014 and has not worked as an in ring performer in a very long time, many were expecting Stephanie McMahon to work a practice match before stepping into the ring with Brie Bella. Apparently, that will not be the case. Stephanie is doing private workouts and feels confident that the practice is not needed.
August 10, 2014
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
WWE has announced that Dolph Ziggler will be challenging the Miz at Summerslam 2014 for the Intercontinental Championship. While his popularity remains pretty strong, this is not a push for Ziggler. Management simply needed a mid card baby face to put over Miz. A title change is not expected to take place, as the company wants to see how far this Hollywood character can go.
August 5, 2014
While the upcoming match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella at Summerslam 2014 is being heavily anticipated by fans online, the numbers for that final hour of Monday Night Raw, where the two gals had their confrontation to close out the episode, managed to lose approximately half a million viewers. That has caused some concerns backstage for WWE because the match is viewed as one of the headliners of the pay per view.
August 4, 2014
Since Roman Reigns is headed towards a big match against Randy Orton at Summerslam 2014, that has left many to wonder if he is still going to work a program against Triple H. That feud is definitely still on the table, as WWE believes it will be the one to catapult him into the main event scene. The company simply has yet to figure out when they want the two of them to start working together.
August 3, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Roman Reigns is backstage at Survivor Series 2014. Some believe that he could be making an appearance during the pay per view. No word yet on what role that will be, but he could play a part in the main event elimination tag team match. Reigns could be utilized to attack Seth Rollins, which would reignite the feud between the two of them that was started before Reigns was sidelined by an injury.
November 23, 2014
WWE is promoting Hell in a Cell 2014 as having a double main event, and the reason behind that is simple. They do not believe that Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are proven draws yet, even with the big steel structure and a highly entertaining feud behind them. Thus, the reliance on John Cena and Randy Orton, two guys that the company has relied on for years now, to help sell the pay per view.
October 14, 2014
Management dedicates a lot of their creativity to events such as Royal Rumble 2015. With Randy Orton being penciled in for a baby face turn and a push, there are discussions going on backstage about having him do that at during the big battle royal. A potential story would have the former world heavyweight champion rebelling against the Authority and their wish to have Seth Rollins winning the match.
October 9, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon announced that John Cena and Dean Ambrose would be facing one another in a match at Hell in a Cell 2014, and the winner would get to work the main event against Seth Rollins in the gigantic steel structure. Rumors are still floating around that the loser of the match will be given Randy Orton as a consolation prize.
October 7, 2014
In order to create new matches in the main event scene, WWE is contemplating a baby face turn for Randy Orton in the near future. Seeds have been planted on Monday Night Raw recently when his character is shown complaining frequently about being forced to put out fires created by Seth Rollins. The belief is that a feud between the two will be taking place very soon.
September 30, 2014
While WWE is still trying to finalize plans for Hell in a Cell 2014, one thing is certain. Seth Rollins is going to be working a match inside of the huge steel structure. His opponent will either be John Cena or Dean Ambrose. Management has not yet made a decision on that, but the belief is that Cena has the advantage because he has been more of a proven draw over the years, and the pay per view desperately needs that drawing power since Brock Lesnar and the WWE title are not going to be present.
September 30, 2014
During his latest podcast interview show, Chris Jericho revealed that he was originally scheduled to work a match against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions 2014. WWE wanted that to match to happen since Jericho would not be around later for Rollins to work with. For some reason, though, management opted to go with Roman Reigns instead.
September 25, 2014
While there is a possibility that WWE does a third straight match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, there are those backstage that are pushing for Cena to be transitioned into a feud with Seth Rollins instead. That's why the story line of Rollins attempting to cash in at Night of Champions 2014 took place. The belief is that this program will help elevate Rollins into the main event scene.
September 22, 2014
By now, everyone knows that Roman Reigns has been hospitalized and is forced to miss Night of Champions 2014. Seth Rollins needs a new opponent. One of the ideas being tossed around is to have Dean Ambrose making a surprise return at the pay per view and continue his feud with Rollins. Ambrose had taken a couple of weeks away from WWE to film a movie, but he finished up this weekend.
September 21, 2014
When word spread that Roman Reigns was rushed to the hospital, WWE made it clear that he was going to miss Night of Champions 2014, where he was scheduled for a big match against Seth Rollins. Reports have now surfaced that Reigns might be missing Hell in a Cell 2014 as well, as medical examiners believe that the type of hernia that he is suffering from is quite severe.
September 20, 2014
Some really awful news for WWE this weekend, as Roman Reigns had to be rushed to the hospital. The rising star is undergoing surgery for an incarcerated hernia. Reigns will be forced to miss his Night of Champions 2014 match against Seth Rollins. Since the match was a featured one, the pay per view has suffered a bit of a blow. No word yet on what WWE intends to do with that slot.
September 20, 2014
Even though Brock Lesnar agreed to work more dates for the company, WWE still has reservations about having a part time world champion. Reports have surfaced that management is considering the possibility of having Seth Rollins cashing in on his Money in the Bank briefcase at Night of Champions. The move would require John Cena to regain the championship briefly.
September 6, 2014
A Shield reunion could be taking place as soon as Night of Champions 2014. Unfortunately, though, the trio will not be on the same side. There are talks now that instead of doing a singles match between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, WWE could opt to go with a tag team match. Dean Ambrose would make his return and team up with Reigns against the team of Rollins and Kane.
August 26, 2014
Expect to hear plenty of comparisons between Dean Ambrose and Steve Austin over the next couple of months. WWE is having the former Shield member take elements of the Austin character in an attempt to win over even more fans. While it was not shown on Monday Night Raw, the company is doing a story where Ambrose refused medical attention after being severely injured by Kane and Seth Rollins.
August 21, 2014
When it was announced that Dean Ambrose was going to be starring in an upcoming WWE Studios movie, the belief was that he was going to need to take some time off to film his part. It looks like the former United States Heavyweight Champion might only be missing the live events, as management still wants him around on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown to further his feud with Seth Rollins.
August 16, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, fans saw Rob Van Dam being pulled from a Beat the Clock match against Seth Rollins. He was replaced by Heath Slater, who got the surprising win, thanks to distractions from Dean Ambrose. It turns out that WWE did that because RVD is actually not cleared to wrestle. He is still recovering from an unknown injury. For what it's worth, it appears that he might be fine soon, as the former world heavyweight champion is scheduled to head to Australia for the tour.
August 6, 2014
During a recent interview with CBS Radio in Washington DC, Batista was asked for his opinion on Roman Reigns. The former world heavyweight champion stated that he felt that WWE is pushing Reigns a bit too quickly. Batista feels that the company would have benefited more by giving Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins a longer baby face run since the stable was really over with the audience.
August 5, 2014
Since he is smart enough to know that a career in WWE doesn't last forever, Seth Rollins has wisely decided to prepare for life after his career as an in ring performer is over. The former Shield member has partnered up with an independent wrestler to start a wrestling school in Moline, Illinois. It is called the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy. Santino Marella recently did the same thing before being forced to retire from WWE due to neck injuries.
July 16, 2014
During the main event of Monday Night Raw this week, it appeared that Seth Rollins injured his knee during an interaction with Roman Reigns. Rumors are floating around now that he is actually fine and was just selling the move. However, there are reports that WWE is simply downplaying things, so that fans will continue to be hyped for his upcoming match against Dean Ambrose. Fans in attendance noted that the referee did indeed signal the medical crew backstage when the incident happened.
July 15, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE was quick to set up the main event for WWE Battleground 2014. John Cena will defend the heavyweight championship in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. The move was set up by Triple H, who did not reveal his reasoning for putting Reigns, an adversary, into the title match instead of Seth Rollins.

Naglestad Named BIG EAST Offensive Player Of The Week
Providence College men's soccer red-shirt senior Markus Naglestad (Kristiansand, Norway) was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week, it was announced by the conference on Monday, Sept. 1.
Naglestad helped the Friars secure a victory over in-state rival Rhode Island on Aug. 30 after he scored four of the five Friar goals. Three of the four goals came within two minutes of each other (75:11, 76:07 and 77:11), breaking the NCAA Division I men's soccer record for the fastest three consecutive goals by the same player. The record was set on Oct. 20, 1985 by John Stone of SIU Edwardsville after he scored three goals within 2:15 of each other.
Friars Undefeated in their Opening Weekend
In their first weekend of play for the 2014 season, the Friars came away with two wins. Providence first won at Bryant, 2-0, on Aug. 29. They then completed the weekend with a home opening victory against in-state rival Rhode Island, 5-1. Providence's five goals were the most scored under third-year Head Coach Craig Stewart and the win marked the fourth straight by the Friars over the Rams, dating back to 2010.
Daniel Neustädter Registered First Point As A Friar
In Providence's victory over Rhode Island on Aug. 31, freshman Daniel Neustädter (Mainz, Germany) registered his first career point as Friar. Neustädter assisted Markus Naglestad's (Kristiansand, Norway) second goal of the game at 75:11.
Broome Earns Eighth Career Shutout
With a 2-0 win over Bryant on Aug. 29, Friar goalkeeper Keasel Broome (Claymont, Del.) recorded his first shutout of the season. The game also marked his eighth career shutout in a total of 37 games.
Last Season for the Friars
Last season, the Friars advanced to the final of the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 2010 and third time in program history. Providence faced Marquette in the championship game, falling 3-2. The Friars also earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time in program history. The team advanced to the second round of the tournament after defeating Penn, 3-1, in penalty kicks in the opening round. The second round game saw Providence drop a 3-1 decision to Maryland.
Gressel Named To Preseason All-BIG EAST Team
The BIG EAST Men's Soccer Preseason Coaches' Poll and Preseason All-BIG EAST Team were released on Aug. 19.

In Europe, by law, cell phones cannot be sold that are locked to a single provider and must have replaceable SIM card. Every year, when we take our vacation back to the US and want phone service there, I have to convince the people at the AT&T phone store that, yes, if they sell us a SIM card, we can simply pop it into our phones and enjoy their service. Now, European cell phone systems use a different frequency than those in the US, but we took care to buy quad-frequency phones that work anywhere.
