It was a long day and I needed coffee but I didn't want a hot drink and I didn't need the sugar from a Frap so I made my own version at home. I used FROZEN BLACK CHERRIES for this...no additional sweetener, plain frozen cherries and I used 2 shots of espresso rather than brewed coffee. Add the Crushed Ice to the blender last to get it the consistency you'd like.Submitted by: DRAMAFREEFIT

DX6i and GY401 tail wag HELP.
I have a Raptor 50 with a DX6i and a GY401 gyro
First I have not flown my Raptor 50 in over a year.
So this may be something simple I am not doing.
My Eclipse 7 died and I installed my DX6i in my R50.
With the Eclipse 7, I had NO wag in remote or HH.
With the DX6i , the tail is as smooth as glass in remote mode.
As soon as I put the Heli in HH the tail wags about 1 " .
No matter where my gain is in my DX6i Settings . 53 all the way up to 90. It still wags.
The wag is really bad above 85 , but from 53 to 85 NO change in Wag .
Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm no expert but....there is a curve for this isn't there? Set up in the radio?
Since each servo is different it may be adding more torque or something?
I suspect my issue is similiar, and also note if you replaced theservo the rear rudder is probably slightly out of whack - maybe slight adjustment there on the rudder pitch?

Tail wag
Hi there .............ok
1 / are you using a digital server on the tail ?
2/ HH you mean stunt mode or something other then stunt mode ?
3/ if the servo is not a digital high speed then you are going to burn it out in stunt mode .
4/ look at your mixing for throttle to rudder that should be 0%
5/ Pitch curve to rudder mix should be 0%
6/ In normally mode with the AVCS mode on should be at 80% to start with
7/ in idl1 mode with the AVCS mode on should be 75% to 80% to start with
8/ in idl2 stunt mode with gyro in normal mode 20% to start with
9 / you don't need the AVCS at high speed or stunt mode .Use the normal mode for that but this is only if you have a high speed servo on the tail
10/ One more thing I can think of is the rudder close to center with out the gyro on do's the heli fly with out the gyro if not make small ajustments to the linkage untile it is close then try it with the gyro on again .
Hope that helps you out there I had the same thing happen to my Benzin Trainer when I changed radios it was a hard work out to get it to work right but I got it with the above changes . good luck Fred

|Statement on introducing the draft resolution "Terrorist Attacks on Internationally Protected Persons".
November 16, 2011
The Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations would like to state that it will introduce today a draft resolution to the General Assembly of the United Nations titled "Terrorist Attacks on Internationally Protected Persons". The Saudi Mission reiterates its views that combating terrorism in all of its forms has always been one of the top priorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Mission urges the international community to condemn terrorism and deplores the plot to assassinate the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United States of America; failing to do so would suggest that acts like these are within the bounds of acceptable actions to resolve international conflict.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
February 3, 2012 MCCARL GALLERY AT SVC SEEKS EARLY ARTIFACTS FOR SUMMER EXHIBIT ON PATRIOTISM IN 1700S The Foster and Muriel McCarl Coverlet Gallery is looking for personal artifacts from the late 1700s to the post-Civil War period to incorporate into an exhibit entitled, "Patriotism in Private Life: Antebellum Nationalism in Domestic Textiles and Artifacts" that will be displayed from May 2 to August 31. "The next exhibit at the McCarl Coverlet Gallery will investigate the varied symbols and meanings of patriotism in the antebellum period through an exploration of woven textiles and domestic artifacts," explained Lauren Lamendola, curator of the McCarl Collection. "Patriotic sentiment flourished in this era as Americans fought the Mexican-American War, westward expansion took settlers the length of the continent, and new immigrants aimed to assimilate into American life. Moreover, the coinciding deaths of Founding Fathers, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson – both on July 4, 1826, the nation's fiftieth birthday – and the centennial of George Washington's birthday in 1832 prompted a revival in celebrations of national independence and the heroism of the Founding Fathers. Yet, patriotism had few modern symbols at its center before the Civil War. No official national anthem or uniform flag design, for example, yet existed. Instead, eagles, trees, and stars proved popular emblems of the Republic and Liberty. By focusing on the incorporation of these themes in the artistry of common domestic goods, this exhibit will emphasize the patriotism that private citizens performed, not at parades and in town squares, but in their own homes." "In conjunction with the exhibit, we are looking for personal artifacts dating from the late 1700s until the post civil war to incorporate into this exhibit," she continued. "We are looking for flags, uniforms, clothing, photographs, letters, paintings or any artifact that deals with a patriotic nature. Objects from Pennsylvania are highly desirable. Objects that would have been used or produced in the home are also desirable." Area residents with an item they would like to have considered for the exhibit should contact Curator Lauren M. Lamendola at 724-805-2188 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Baltimore, MD -
A Palm Harbor Florida man has been arrested for attempting to board an airplane with a loaded 9mm Glock handgun and 10 rounds of ammunition. The 60 year old man, Michael Menlo Smith, is facing two gun charges plus attempting to board a plane with a loaded gun. Smith was also allegedly carrying two additional magazines, each loaded with 10 rounds, the TSA said.
TSA security screeners found the gun during a routine search in the man's carry-on bag and alerted the Maryland Transportation Authority Police. Police added that Smith does not have a concealed weapons permit.
"Weapons are not permitted in carry-on baggage," the TSA said in a news release. "Some weapons are permitted to be transported in checked baggage, but passengers should check with the airlines and local laws before doing so."

When Texas and Oklahoma meet Saturday for the 108th edition of the Red River Rivalry, fans on both sides of the Cotton Bowl will arrive disgusted with what they've seen on the field this year.
The disgruntled Longhorns are calling for the firing of their longtime head coach, Mack Brown. The frustrated Sooners are agitating for the ouster of … their band director?
That's right. The Pride of Oklahoma band, known for tormenting opposing fans by playing "Boomer Sooner" after seemingly every positive play, has now attracted the ire of its own.
For months, fans have called for the removal of first-year band director Justin Stolarik. Detractors passed out fliers before one game imploring fans not to cheer during performances. And a group of OU alumni has pooled $600 to rent a billboard near Fair Park this weekend to call attention to their displeasure.
Stolarik's opponents say he isn't qualified for the job, almost ruined the band's pregame routine and has failed to live up to its proud standards.
"The performances are lackluster, they lack energy, they lack enthusiasm and they are boring," said Nick Nicholson, who played tuba in the band in the late '80s and early '90s. "It's like watching paint dry."
The opposition to Stolarik began to escalate this summer when a video of a summer practice was posted on the band's alumni Facebook page. The clip showed several possible changes to the band's traditional pregame routine and an unpolished sound.
The uproar forced the band to announce before the first game that it would mostly stick to its traditions. But the anger has continued during the season with people questioning song choices, marching styles and the education the musicians are receiving. Last month, to protest the new regime, most of the band's tuba players refused to attend a practice.
"Pretty much what needs to happen is we need to get a new director," said Josh Snadow, a junior from Highland Village who played in the tuba section his freshman and sophomore year. Snadow said he opted not to join this year after hearing about the new director.
Stolarik, who didn't respond to messages seeking comment, came to the school from the University of Wisconsin, where he was assistant director of the band. He has a master's degree and a doctorate in percussion performance from Texas, but his opponents say he hasn't studied music education enough. That fact that he attended Texas isn't a factor, they said.
Stolarik does have defenders. In a statement, OU President David Boren said the opposition is coming from a "relatively small group of alumni."
"Our band is doing an outstanding job and the new director deserves our support," Boren said.
But while the number of angry people is a matter of debate, the critics' organization can't be questioned. For this article, people angry with Stolarik provided pictures of the OU band marching in formations used by Stolarik's old employer. And they described their concerns in a treatise titled "What is the Value of Tradition? A Deep Look into the Abyss of a Search Committee."
The billboard went live Friday. It will greet drivers on Interstate 30 near Fair Park all weekend.
Boren, meanwhile, said he wishes the alumni would spend their energy drawing attention to other things, like their school's recent academic success.
"Hospitality to new members of our university family is a long-standing Sooner tradition," he said.
Game day likely to be soggy
A series of modest rainmakers will push into the Dallas area early Saturday, opening the possibility of a soggy sellout crowd at the Red River Rivalry football game at the Cotton Bowl and a wet weekend at the State Fair of Texas.
"There's a slight chance of rain starting shortly before midnight," said Jamie Gudmestad, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, "but by Saturday morning, the chance of rain goes up to about 40 percent and stays there overnight."
Still, neither Texas nor Oklahoma fans are likely to care about a bit of drizzle. The temperature at kickoff will be around 80 degrees.
The chance for rain on Sunday climbs to 50 percent, 60 percent Sunday night, and 40 percent on Monday and Tuesday, she said.
The weather service forecast puts the heaviest rain west and southwest of Dallas on Saturday, but Dallas-Fort Worth could see half an inch.
Some parts of North Texas could receive 3 or more inches of rain before the showers end on Tuesday, forecasters say, but other places might not see a drop.

Congratulations!! I want to start working on my strength, now that I've just about got my eating in order. I don't think I can do even 2 regular pushups :/
I'm small...4ft 11 and some people seem to get it into their heads that they need to go to extremes to 'look after' me (all well and good *sometimes*, but not all the time...I can climb to reach things!).
So at the start of the year I decided I wanted to be fitter and stronger, I started regular workouts on 31st Jan and I'm still going strong.
I thought it would make sense to eat well as well, that's when I discovered pb.
I started eating meat on 31st March, I love the food and have no intention of going back =)
When I started I couldn't do more than 5 normal push ups (on my feet rather than knees) now I can do at least 2 sets of 20 of wide and standard, 15 military and 2 sets of 8 pull ups.
My favorite playtime activities include frisbee, hula hooping and walks in the bush.
I haven't lost any weight, but my clothes fit better, I'm starting to see some definition in my arms and tummy and I've gone from 30% body fat to 19%
Congratulations!! I want to start working on my strength, now that I've just about got my eating in order. I don't think I can do even 2 regular pushups :/

Christians throughout Lycoming County will join with Christians in over 170 countries around the world in observance of World Day of Prayer. The women of Malaysia invite us to join them Friday for the World Day of Prayer 2012. Locally, a service will be held at 1:30 p.m. at Church of the Savior, Lutheran, 522 Grier St.
The 2012 World Day of Prayer service will begin at the first sunrise on March 2 in the Pacific region, and follow the Earth's orbit, shining its light on the country of Malaysia and, in turn, the rest of the world.
The theme chosen for this year is "Let Justice prevail." Every service opens with the greeting "Selamat datang," which means "peace and welcome" and is a reminder that harmony as a people is rooted in peace and welcome. The women name fair and just governance as the basis for peace.
The stories chosen by the women of Malaysia give credence to the suffering that empowers their prayer. A clear message emerges: It takes courage, compassion and active engagement for justice to prevail. The service invites those who gather to resolve to work with God and with each other to create a world in which each gender, race, culture, religion and state is honored, nurtured and empowered.
The service brings Christians from myriad backgrounds cultures and traditions together in prayer and action. World Day of Prayer began in the 19th century. Since 1941, it has been sponsored in the United States by Church Women United, a grassroots ecumenical movement of Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox and other Christian women.
Regina Gross, president of Church Women United in Lycoming County, invites all to join in this annual World Day of Prayer service. Musicians for the service include Carol Waltz, accompanist, and Barby Smith, song leader.
Georgette Copp, president of the Women of the ELCA of Church of the Savior Lutheran, looks forward to welcoming everyone to this gathering next Friday. It is by our connecting, one with another in our own community, we become informed about the gifts and the needs of God's people. Then through prayer we are urged to take action to bring about the Kingdom of God.
One of the ways women from throughout Lycoming County do this is to pray for nursing home residents and to make lap robes, footies, bibs and catheter bags for them. An ingathering of these items, often between 1,500 and 2,000 items, will be collected and dedicated at this service. Pat Wittig and Barbara Allen and their assistants will assemble the donations and then distribute them to the nursing homes throughout the county.
Women from nine congregations in Lycoming County will be leaders in the service. They include: Patty Gohrs, Jean Cleveland, Sally Grieco, Melodie Harrison, Pastor Kathleen Behrens, Pat Ressler, Sharleen Clapper and Patty Knapp.
Refreshments are being coordinated by the women of Church of the Savior, Lutheran.
Offerings from this service, collected by Eleanor Derr, treasurer of Church Women United of Lycoming County, enable the ongoing work of Church Women United, the national committee of the United States for World Day of Prayer. Portions of your offering are designated toward women's projects both internationally and in the United States. This year grants will focus on concerns expressed by the women of Malaysia.

James Brindley's first brush with the National Football League provided the former Nevada Union High School star with a crash course in the cold-hard business of professional sports.
But after being cut from the Seattle Seahawks last year, his short stint with the team has also offered him another opportunity at making his NFL dreams a reality.
Brindley, a 2006 Nevada Union grad and former Utah State University standout, re-signed with the Seahawks Tuesday. The 5-foot, 11-inch safety said he signed a three-year deal that will pay him more than $1 million over the life of the contract. However, as Brindley learned last year, that deal is only valid as long as he makes the team.
"I learned a lot last time," he said. "It is strictly business.
"But (Seahawks coach) Pete Carroll brought into his office after they released me and told me it's not that they didn't like me and that they might bring me back to see what I could do on special teams.
"This year I'll be reporting two months before I did last year, basically giving me a better opportunity to get more reps with the team and kind of show them what I can do."Brindley said he's excited to get an opportunity to play for a franchise that appears to suddenly be on the rise. The Seahawks won the NFC West Division in 2010 and, despite their 7-9 overall record, shocked the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints 41-36 in an NFC Wild Card playoff game on Jan. 8.
The Seahawks then fell to the Chicago Bears 35-24 in the second round of the NFC playoffs.
"Pete Carroll's been fired up since the first day," Brindley said. "He told us 'Why not be the best we can be today and every day?' I'm excited to go back up there.
"Despite their record, they accomplished a lot with it being Pete Carroll's first year up there. The city is excited and I'm excited to be part of that franchise."

Dr Ong Kong Wee, Chairman of the BSS Organising Committee,
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning
1. Over the last 40 years, Singapore has seen three-fold increase in the age-standardized incidence of breast cancer, from 22 per 100,000 in the early 1970s to 61 per 100,000 in the period 2006 to 2010. This trend is thought to be due to lifestyle factors such as having the first pregnancy at an older age, having fewer children, weight gain after menopause and a sedentary lifestyle. Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in Singaporean women, accounting for almost 30% of all cancers diagnosed and is also the most common cause of cancer death in women, accounting for 18% of cancer deaths in women1. In the 80's and 90's, few countries, only the Scandinavian countries, UK and Canada, offered national screening programs for breast cancer2.
2 Here in Singapore, while there was an increasing amount of education on screening for breast cancer it was not practised on a large scale. So, when BreastScreen Singapore was launched 10 years ago, only about 50% of Singaporean women knew about the importance of screening. Today, awareness is over 90%. BSS has been busy, screening close to 250,000 women in the last 10 years, and detecting over 1,800 cases during this time3. 70% of these were invasive cancers and 30% were DCIS cases.
3. The BSS program would not have been possible without our many partners: I would like to take this opportunity to commend NHG diagnostics, Medi-Rad Associates Ltd, Singapore General Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Changi General Hospital, National University Health System, and the National Cancer Centre. With your highly skilled professionals – doctors, nurses, radiographers and other healthcare professionals – you have shown much dedication in ensuring the best outcomes for the women participating in BSS.
4. Our partners have been instrumental in ensuring the two unique features of the program:
Robust quality assurance and improvement framework
5. Firstly, the program has established a robust quality assurance and quality improvement framework. This includes standards and guidelines for mammography screening, reading and assessment. Double reading of films is one of such required standards, and if there is a discrepancy, a third reading is done by an independent radiologist. The approach is developed and adopted as one of continuous quality improvement. Thus far, 90% of the centres have met the QA requirements fully, and the program is working with the remaining providers to ensure that their compliance is also 100%. To ensure that women receive good quality screening services regardless of where they attend for their screening mammogram, this QA framework has also been extended to non-BSS, private X-ray centres which are registered under the Medisave scheme and can extend Medisave use to their clients.
Continuing medical education & training
6. Secondly, the program affords opportunities for continuing professional education and training, such as regular clinical reviews for the radiologists, surgeons and pathologists; workshops for all breast screening healthcare professionals, and regular customer service training programs for front-line staff.
7. Just this year, the program introduced a specific training track for our primary care physicians. This is vital, since they have the best opportunity to educate and counsel women on the risks of breast cancer and the benefits of screening.
8. So far we have discussed screening as if there were only benefits. But this is not true for any screening program. Breast screening is no different.
9. Allow me to explain: We need to acknowledge the controversies surrounding breast cancer screening which have arisen in recent years; specifically, the polarised arguments about the harms of breast cancer screening. While there is no consensus on this, we would do a disservice to our patients if we ourselves do not understand what the issues are.
10. Various studies have documented mortality reduction of between 15-30% from breast cancer screening. This is a significant benefit. Based on this, we have encouraged as many women to come forward to be screened, and have their breast cancers detected early so that they can be treated early on in the disease.
11. Mortality reduction notwithstanding, screening is not just about benefit. The most commonly discussed harm in a doctor's office is probably focused on false-positive screening tests.
False positives are more common in younger women, those in their 40's, due to denser breast tissue, and are associated with much anxiety while the women concerned wait for the results of further tests.
12. In actual fact, false-positive results are not the most important harm of screening, overdiagnosis is. This is when women are diagnosed, and undergo treatment for something detected during screening that may never have presented clinically in their lifetime.
13. I would like to emphasize that I am in no way discouraging people from coming forward for screening. Far from it. With our currently low screening rates of 40%, more can be done to improve uptake, facilitate early diagnosis, and improve survival. However it is important to realize that ultimately, we as healthcare professionals have a duty of care to be current and fully informed ourselves, to provide sound advice to our patients, and to encourage frank discussions on screening and possible outcomes. Our patients would appreciate the balanced information, and if our discussions are done right, it should not deter them from making the right choice with regard to screening.
14. More research needs to be done to address the scientifically challenging issue of potential overdiagnosis and we will continue to watch the horizon for emerging evidence.
15. As BSS enters its second decade, allow me to congratulate you all on a job well done. On this note let me thank you all, guests, faculty and participants for joining us at this seminar. I wish you an enjoyable time of sharing your knowledge and learning more.

Congestive heart failure is the most common discharge diagnosis for Medicare beneficiaries. While several single-center studies have suggested that these patients are particularly vulnerable to readmission, no recent study, to our knowledge, has reported the readmission rates for a large number of elderly patients with congestive heart failure across a diverse spectrum of hospitals.
To define the readmission rate for elderly patients discharged after an episode of congestive heart failure. To determine the spectrum of diagnoses that are responsible for readmissions among patients with congestive heart failure. To identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with a higher likelihood of readmission.
This observational study, using Medicare administrative files, evaluated readmission and death among all survivors of a hospitalization in Connecticut for congestive heart failure from fiscal year 1991 through fiscal year 1994.
There were 17448 survivors of a hospitalization for congestive heart failure during the study period. In the 6 months following the index admission, 7596 patients (44%) were readmitted to a hospital at least once. Congestive heart failure was the most frequent reason for readmission among study patients, accounting for 18% of all readmissions. In the multivariable analysis, significant predictors of readmission included male sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.20), at least 1 prior admission within 6 months of the index admission (OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.53-1.77), Deyo comorbidity score of more than 1 (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.45-1.68), and length of stay in the index hospitalization of more than 7 days (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.24-1.41). While age was not a significant predictor of readmission, it became significant in a model with the combined outcome of readmission or death as the dependent variable.
Readmission after a hospitalization for congestive heart failure is common among Medicare beneficiaries, with almost half of the patients readmitted within 6 months. This striking rate of readmission in a common diagnosis demands efforts to further clarify the determinants of readmission and develop strategies to prevent this adverse outcome.Arch Intern Med. 1997;157:99-104

Bachelor of Science in Sociology
Sociology is the study of how people organize to function as a society. since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports. In fact, few fields have such a broad scope and relevance for research, theory and application of knowledge.
Sociology in the Workplace
Sociology provides valuable skills for students planning careers in a wide variety of fields including social research, criminology, demography, social psychology, public administration, gerontology, education, rehabilitation, social work and market research. It also provides a strong foundation for those planning to enter law, business, medicine, community planning, architecture and politics. With its emphasis in finding solutions to problems, sociology provides potential employers with employees skilled in evaluation and analysis.
Many undergraduate sociology majors continue in the field and earn the master's degree and doctorate in sociology.
Completion Requirements
Classes required and the total number of hours necessary to complete the degree will vary depending upon the course of study selected and the catalog under which the student enters. For more details, ululate the university catalog.

AVALON, Pa. — Dirty clothes have a Pittsburgh-area police officer in hot water.
Rocco was arraigned Saturday and released on his own recognizance.
WPXI-TV reports the home's owner noticed his electric bill was unusually high, given that he hadn't lived in the house for months. When the owner visited, investigators say he found the dryer running with Rocco's clothes inside.
Avalon police who questioned Rocco say he told investigators the home's back door was already broken and he "just had to do some laundry."
A phone listing for Rocco could not be located Wednesday. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Many new antimicrobial agents have become available recently. Several of the new antibiotics may offer an extended spectrum of activity or an improved toxic effect profile. However, they pose such problems as excessive cost and the emergence of drug-resistant organisms as a result of "selection pressure." The majority of common infections can be treated with conventional agents, either singly or in combination. A careful, bedside clinical evaluation, in conjunction with simple laboratory tests, often narrows down microbiologic possibilities and allows simpler antibiotic choices. This results in a cost-conscious approach of using conventional, inexpensive antibiotics in most situations, with new agents being reserved for judiciously selected indications. Such an approach will not only contain health care costs but will also help to preserve the microbiologic ecosystem.

A few thoughts on "Envisioning the Seen"
I continue to be embroiled in discussions, in the newsroom, via email and out in the community, with people who want to talk about "Envisioning the Seen," the experiment in civic dialogue that took place Monday evening at the Pabst Theater.
It's a sign, I think, that the event, despite its flaws, is novel, gutsy and full of promise. For a lot of reasons, I decided not to write about it earlier this week, mostly because I'd be repeating myself. This event was so like the ones that came before. But I might as well commit to words what I've been saying and emailing privately. »Read Full Blog Post(8)

It's ok.......
This app is not as good as doodle or papijump. There should be more to it. The line drawing thing should fit better. Hope there is an update with all new stuff or i won't give this app five stars. Maybe add a mode where there's more obstacles, maybe enemies, and make the line drawing thing better. Maybe it will then be a five star app, but as of now, i recommend people play doodle jump instead, it's much better.
There is endless cash in the sky!
Master Jumperton needs your help. If you would be so kind as to draw him little jumping platforms he could finally snag all of those coins he knows must be up there. Sounds simple, right? Did I mention anything about blimps and planes blocking your way? Well I'm sure the two of you will figure out how to deal with those little nuisances.
A fun original take on the platform hopper genre of games.
Kids love it!
Very cute game. Easy to learn, perfectly suited for the iPhone's touch screen, and very addictive. You just have to keep playing to see how high you can get. My kids love it, too.

on August 1, 2013 - 10:50 AM
, updated August 1, 2013 at 6:06 PM
Gibraltar Industries' profits slipped by 2 percent during the second quarter after an expected rebound in its key housing markets never materialized and its industrial sales remained depressed.
And Gibraltar executives warned Thursday that they don't expect an immediate turnaround, slashing their earnings forecast for the year – a move that sent the Hamburg construction products manufacturer's shares tumbling by 6 percent, or 87 cents, to $14.53.
Gibraltar's profits slipped to $7.7 million, or 25 cents per share, down from $7.9 million, or 26 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring costs, the company's adjusted profits dipped by 6 percent to $8.2 million, or 26 cents per share, from $8.7 million, or 28 cents per share, a year earlier. The adjusted earnings were well below the 32 cents per share that analysts were expecting. Shares slid 99 cents, to $14.41 on Thursday.
That prompted the company to lower its earnings forecast for the full year. Gibraltar said it now expects its adjusted profits this year, excluding restructuring costs, to range between 54 cents and 64 cents per share, far below the 83 cents per share that analysts were expecting. Sales growth this year is expected to be modest.
"The fundamentals in the residential and low-rise commercial building markets are moving in a positive direction, but demand was not as strong as we had anticipated in the first half," said Brian J. Lipke, Gibraltar's chairman and chief executive officer.
Much of the weakness during the second quarter stemmed from disappointing sales growth, which fell short of what Gibraltar executives had been expecting, in all of its major markets, except for multifamily housing.
Sales grew by 2 percent to $225 million from $220 million a year ago, with all of the increase coming from the three companies that Gibraltar acquired during the fourth quarter of last year. Excluding those acquisitions, sales from Gibraltar's existing businesses fell by 5 percent and overall revenue growth was far less than the 9 percent increase that company executives had expected.
Gibraltar executives said sales from the company's industrial products business were "significantly slower," as weak demand, especially in Europe, forced the company to reduce prices. And instead of the second-half rebound in its industrial markets that Gibraltar executives had forecast earlier this year, they now said they expect the industrial segment, which accounts for about 40 percent of the company's revenues, to remain weak throughout the rest of 2013.
The company's housing markets are beginning to improve, but the pace of the recovery has been spotty. While sales growth in the multifamily housing market reached double-digits, other segments of the housing market did not rebound as rapidly as Gibraltar executives had expected.
Henning Kornbrekke, Gibraltar's president and chief operating officer, pointed to the residential roofing market as a particular disappointment, as bad spring weather delayed roofing work in some parts of the country and consumers remain reluctant to commit to costly home repairs while the economy is sluggish.
