TRAIN4TRADESKILLS FEBRUARY 16, 2012 Bright Future for the Green Economy With increasingly higher demand for professionals in the renewable sector, the UK’s environmental charity organisation, Global Action Plan and global management consultant Accenture , have launched a two-year collaborative partnership to help young people gain the necessary skills for the emerging green economy.

The terms “mechanic’s lien” and “lien” get thrown around so much in the construction industry, that they’ve acquired a mystic existence. If there aren’t “lien rights,” disappointment ensues. In many ways, payment bond claims are preferable to a traditional mechanics lien claim. | | | | | | | | | |

CONSTRUCTION LIEN BLOG | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012 Are Changes Coming to Pennsylvania’s Mechanic Lien Laws?
See original article at Are Changes Coming to Pennsylvania’s Mechanic Lien Laws? Last summer, I posted here about a bill pending in the Pennsylvania legislature that would change that state’s mechanic lien laws. That bill – House Bill 1602 – is still pending in that state, and heating up. Last week, Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis LLP posted an article on JDSupra about the pending legislation, and this reminded me that my previous mention of the bill was too pithy, and lacked discussion of some key features of the potential law change.

DARREN SLAUGHTER | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012  Small Things Do Matter: An Example in Action
If you have spent any time on this site at all, you know I am a firm believer in the “devil is in the details” approach to marketing and web design. In fact, Chris Spoerl calls me the King of the Tweaks. Maybe it’s because I am an uptight Virgo, or the fact that I get it from my follow up crazed Mother (love you Mom), but I look for/at things that most people ignore. And today, I have a story for you that has nothing to do with marketing or website design, but about just being a good person, and God forbid, capitalizing on it. Goodwill in your local market.
