Pagan, Napoli deals kick off action in Nashville
Pagan, Napoli deals kick off action in Nashville
As the first day of the Winter Meetings -- typically a bit quiet with baseball's movers and shakers just arriving in town and getting settled into their suites -- came to an end Monday, it gave way to what figures to be a more lively session: The first night of the Winter Meetings.
With the brains of baseball operations for all 30 Major League teams descending on Nashville, Tenn., and hunkering down in the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center for four days of various degrees of negotiations, whispers, rumors and pure hot air, the nighttime is the right time to get trades and signings moving.

For an opening day, however, Monday held its own with the signings of a couple of postseason stars from recent years in Angel Pagan and Mike Napoli and, away from the meetings but bound to affect the Yankees' offseason in a significant way, surgery for one of the biggest names in the game: Alex Rodriguez.
What comes from Monday's first long night (and early morning) of hobnobbing in the lobbies, bars and suites in Nashville will lead to some sort of action Tuesday and going forward, to be sure. Of course, a lot of that action might remain behind the scenes as teams work with each other on trades and with representatives of free agents to continue to build the rosters that will take the field in 2013. "Basically, what I've learned about being in the Winter Meetings is you generally don't make many trades in Winter Meetings," said Reds manager Dusty Baker, who will enter his 20th season as a manager in 2013. "Most of the time, you're setting it up for when you get home to make moves." Indeed, it's more about talking than signing, generally, but for a first-year general manager like the Astros' Jeff Luhnow, it's an opportunity to make something happen. "This is a good forum to accomplish things because everybody is here," Luhnow said. And, sure enough, a few things did get done on Day 1. Pagan, a big part of the Giants' 2012 run to their second World Series title in three years, agreed to return to San Francisco for the next four years for $40 million. And Napoli, who was stellar for the Rangers in the 2011 playoffs before a lesser 2012 season, signed on with the Red Sox for three years and $39 million. And while the Yankees were getting their meetings started, news broke that Rodriguez will need surgery on his left hip -- he had his right hip repaired three years ago -- and might not be available until June at the earliest. Naturally, there were some rumors and some deals on the cusp as well, with reliever Joakim Soria reported to be closing in on a deal with the Rangers, the Marlins making it clear they're willing to part with infielder Yunel Escobar only weeks after acquiring him from the Blue Jays, and Rays starter James Shields said to be a possible fit with the Nationals. Those were the headlines for the opening hours of baseball's winter extravaganza, but it was only just beginning. The Napoli signing was the first to hit the hungry news media Monday, as the Red Sox took on a talented right-handed hitter who likely will play first base with Boston already stocked with catchers. He won't be a one-for-one replacement for Adrian Gonzalez, but Napoli brings a bat that can provide power. If he returns to 2011 form and reduces his strikeouts, he can be efficient as well, plus he was heralded in Texas and Anaheim before that as one of his team's best clubhouse guys. In that sense, Napoli's signing, along with David Ross and Jonny Gomes before him, represents a change in culture in the Red Sox clubhouse. The Pagan signing, meanwhile, gives a sense of trying to retain a clubhouse culture that was part of the Giants' strong finish to the regular season and remarkable resiliency during October -- and Pagan was a big part of that, providing speed and energy on the field as well as passion in the clubhouse. "That's a pretty big need," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We needed a center fielder and a leadoff hitter and we took care of both with him coming back."In the bigger picture, Pagan, 31, might have set a favorable market for the second tier of free-agent outfielders, players like Shane Victorino and Nick Swisher -- both of whom have to be pleased with the salary and terms Pagan will receive from the Giants.
As for Rodriguez, whose 2012 postseason went beyond the disappointing, the news wasn't good, as the 37-year-old heads into a second hip surgery. "Alex is expected back -- that's the good thing," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "The bad thing is, obviously, we don't have him for a period of time. So, what are we going to do about that? It remains to be seen." Big names of this winter weren't left out of the conversation, either, as Josh Hamilton -- the top free agent of this class -- was in Nashville, presumably to meet with teams interested in his services. The incumbent Rangers, meanwhile, remain one of those teams. And the Mets are listening if teams want to talk about reigning National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, and a half-dozen or so suitors could be entering the conversation. "If we're looking for a package, it needs to have a difference-maker," Mets GM Sandy Alderson said. "Otherwise, we'd be reluctant to do it."Other news on Monday:
The Yankees of the past were honored with the announcement of the induction of longtime owner Jacob Ruppert in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, voted in by a special committee along with umpire Hank O'Day and catcher Deacon White from the Pre-Integration Era ballot. Ruppert was owner of the Yankees from 1915-39, when the organization established itself as a dynasty. Former Yankees manager Joe Torre appeared at a news conference as the World Baseball Classic solidified its schedule and announced commitments of some of the players Torre and the other managers will have on their rosters. David Wright and Joe Mauer are among the players who will play for the U.S., while Venezuela has Miguel Cabrera and Pablo Sandoval and the Dominican Republic will feature Robinson Cano and Jose Reyes. Catcher Geovany Soto re-signed with the Rangers for a year, right-hander Jason Marquis did the same with the Padres and first baseman James Loney was reportedly on the verge of signing with the Rays. Major League Baseball and Stand Up to Cancer announced an amazing array of items and experiences up for bid in an MLB.com Auction that continues until 11:59 p.m. Thursday. Baker and five other managers had their sessions with the media, with another 15 scheduled for their sessions on Tuesday, starting with Nationals skipper Davey Johnson. Regardless of what might happen in terms of trades or signings Tuesday, there's a lot of activity planned for Day 2, from a news conference officially announcing and honoring those inductees in the Hall of Fame as well as this year's honoree as the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for sportswriting. Plus, there's the announcement of the GIBBY Awards on MLB.com at 2 p.m. ET. And, of course, there's always another night after that as the Winter Meetings hit their midpoint, turning up the heat on urgency as the week of wheeling and dealing ticks away.John Schlegel is a national reporter for MLB.com.

Let trucks on Main Street
The last iteration of the already prolonged and fully unnecessary plea for trucks to avoid North Main Street in favor of a narrower, mostly residential street replete with corners not designed for this type of traffic caused me to give up my silence and create this note.
Mayor Thom Lauzons recent suggestion to put this matter on the ballot and let the voters of Barre City decide this issue, after the Transportation Advisory Committee clearly wrote a comprehensive report and voted in a resounding way to recommend that truck traffic be returned to North Main Street and not to be detoured via Summer Street, is fine, but it made me realize that the voters should at least be warned that this detour is, more than likely, illegal and so this vote would merely be window dressing and not binding.
You see, North Main Street is considered to be not just a street but part of a highway system. This is not all; the reconstruction project that created our new downtown renaissance on North Main Street was funded, in no small part, by highway funds. Trucking companies are the biggest financial supporter of highway funds through a variety of taxes and fees. Asking trucks to not use the very road that they (at least indirectly) just paid for is downright un-neighborly and probably illegal.
Please ask your Barre City Council member to get the trucks back onto North Main Street as soon as possible. We need to be true to our heritage as a working-class community with trucks carrying many of the products that continue to support this city; honest with those on Summer Street who were told that this inconvenience of increased traffic would merely be a temporary one for the duration of the construction; realize that real damage will be done to Summer Street from this heavy traffic if it is allowed to continue there; and finally we need to be aware of the safety concerns of those who live and work on Summer Street. The threat to those using Summer Street from the very real potential of physical harm from this rerouting of traffic is infinitely more significant than any real or imagined inconvenience to those merchants on North Main Street (many of them live in Barre Town and do not have to deal with this 24/7). Let North Main Street be used for the tasks for which it was just refurbished.

The Golfsmith Straight Fluted Hand Reamer is excellent for finishing and re-conditioning hosel bores for re-shafting purposes, providing a high degree of accuracy and surface finish. It is made to exacting specifications, to offer a good allowance between the shaft and hosel for the perfect epoxy bond. This reamer removes as much as 0.003" (0.1mm) of material per side from standard-sized hosel bores and is further distinguished by the slightly longer leads to guide and centralize the reamer in the hole. While specifically designed for hand reaming operations, this reamer can also be used on a drill press at 150 RPM's or below.

text: Dec 10, 2012 00:51 Ex-LSU RB Alexander remembers his blockers Ex-LSU RB Alexander remembers his blockers BY LES EAST| Advocate sportswriter Dec. 10, 2012 Comments Advocate file photoFormer LSU running back Charles Alexander will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Tuesday.Former LSU running back Charles Alexander will enter the College Football Hall of Fame on Tuesday night the same way he earned his way there: surrounded by his blockers. When he is formally enshrined in a ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York, he'll share the experience with the guys who paved the way for him to run for more than 4,000 yards, a total that still leaves him third on the school's all-time rushing list, from 1975-78. "I always tell people," Alexander said, "I didn't get to the College Football Hall of Fame alone. I had a lot of help. I wouldn't have gotten there without those guys." The helpers who joined him in New York are his starting line — tackles Chris Rich and Ralph Dugas, guards Craig Duhe and William Johnson, and center Jay Whitley — fullback Kelly Simmons, and two other linemen — Rocky Guillot and Ralph McIngvale — as well as safety Rusty Brown, a former teammate against whom Alexander ran track in high school in Texas. Rich cited a game against Oregon in 1977 in which Alexander rushed for a then-school-record 237 yards as an example of how the closeness between him and his blockers was formed. "Charlie was a great running back," Rich said, "and as humble as he was with the accolades he received and how he treated us created a great bond. Any time anybody back in the day talked to Charlie about a great game he had, he'd say, 'It's nothing about me. It's about my teammates and my offensive line.' He demonstrated that at every turn." Alexander is humble by nature, but his college debut enhanced that trait as he finished with minus-8 yards rushing in a game at Nebraska. "What stands out the most is nothing ever came easy for me," Alexander said. "I had to work hard for everything I got. This wasn't something I knew was going to happen. It was a long, tough road." Alexander said head coach Charles McClendon and running backs coach Jerry Stovall encouraged him. "Coach Mac always told me to hang in there, that things would get better," Alexander said. "Coach Stovall, who recruited me, never gave up on me. He always pushed me and told me to keep fighting, and that's what I did." Alexander said he started to believe he would have a successful career after having a two-touchdown game against Tulane in the Superdome in the final game of his freshman season. "That game gave me a little confidence," Alexander said. "It made me feel like I might make it in college." Rich sounded less doubtful of Alexander's potential. "He had natural God-given ability as an athlete," Rich said. "He ran for the pro scouts the spring of his senior year. He weighed 230 pounds and ran 4.37 40 (yard dash). He was just gifted. He had great vision. Early on he was one of those big backs with speed that you see all over the place nowadays. Whenever he needed to turn it up a notch, he always seemed able to do it." Rich said he remembered the team watching film of an Alexander run one day and fellow running back Terry Robiskie, whom Alexander succeeded as the Tigers' featured back, nicknaming Alexander "Sweet." "He cut back across the field and scored on a play that should have gained a couple of yards," Rich recalled. "Terry Robiskie just said, 'This guy runs sweet.' And it stuck." Alexander learned in May that he had been selected for induction. He was aware that he was finalist, but was "caught off guard" by how he was notified at his home in Missouri City, Texas. "I got a box in the mail from the hall of fame," Alexander recalled. "It had a football in it with my name on it and Louisiana State University, saying I was a member of the 2012 class. I got really, really excited." Alexander was supposed to keep the news to himself for six days until an official announcement was made, but "that was a tough thing to do," he said. He couldn't resist telling his two daughters, Nicole Merenivitch and Nakesha Alexander, both of whom will also attend the induction. Alexander also made a priority of telling Stovall, who was inducted into the hall two years ago for his playing career as a Tiger. "I always hoped this would happen while I was still able to move around pretty good," Alexander said with a laugh. "I'm 55 now, and who knows what it'll be like 10 or 15 years from now." Alexander also notified his blockers — "the root hogs" — as soon as he could. "I sent them all an email," Alexander said. "I told them, 'Guys, we made it.' " Alexander is one of 11 inductees who will be honored during the 55th annual National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner. The class also includes three coaches: Phillip Fulmer (Tennessee), Jimmy Johnson (Oklahoma State, Miami) and R.C. Slocum (Texas A&M). Johnson will speak on behalf of the class.

Meanwhile the screw came out of the original hinge kit left side so it is no longer secure so have been unable to use for over a month now. Instead my 5 month old has been sitting up for the past month. Very disappointed with the service and lack of communication. Hoping to receive hinge in the post soon...

Song of Ice and fire 3 "season of Storms" is announced for June 17th at amazon UK. The American edition seems to need a few additional months though. It will be out as Hardcover and paperback simultaniously. So what are you thoughts/theroies: Personally i would say SoIaF is my current favorite even before the Lifeship traders. Martin especially shows Robert Jordan how to do it right, in my opinion. DON'T REPEAT yourself. He also shows the ability to keep the number of characters manageable by killing off some all the time, that keeps the tension high too. All in all: If you read it bring your opinion. If not get the first two volumes "Game of thrones" and "clash of kings" now, you will be ready for volume 3 (of 6) in time.
I thought the third book was called a Storm of Swords. I also saw somewhere that the whole series will be two trilogies as opposed to one six-book series.
You are right, i wrote that out of memory and "season of storms" was a working title at one point. also Martin said that there would be a 5 year break in the plotline after book 3. This will give the Dragons as well as the Stark kids some time to grow up and will also cover a time of winter in which armies can't move anyway, i guess. So you could say that scissure makes it two triologies. Martin himself calls it one series in interviews though.
Easily the best current series out there. I can't think of any writer in the last 15 years (maybe since donaldson) to come up with an idea and setting that is fantasy, yet so original. The first book was more-or-less devoid of magic, yet I never got the feeling that magic was not present in the setting. Martin also has created the most believable characters I've read in years. He's not afraid to kill off major players, either, if the story calls for it. It is the most realistic imaginary world I have read.
Let's just hope that the dead character does not come back to life. However, wouldn't it be cool if Ned came back as a ghost like Hamlet's dad, and keeps the kids informed?
Speaking of SoIaF, does anybody know when ACoK is coming out in paperback? It's been in hardback forever, and I've been hesitant to buy any book in hardback since splurging for Path of Daggers. Is it out there and I'm just missing it or what???
Well i have seen the British paperback in shops since y-mas, not sure about the American edition though.

White Sox deal ace in series opener against Twins
Lefty Sale, 10-1 with a 1.88 ERA in last 16 starts, faces Darnell
White Sox left-hander Chris Sale allowed just five hits and struck out 12 in eight shutout innings against the Twins last week, further adding to his push as an American League Cy Young candidate in 2014.
Sale is now 10-1 with a 1.88 ERA and has five double-digit strikeout games in his last 16 starts. It marked his 15th career start of 10 or more strikeouts, moving him into a tie for second place on the all-time franchise list, and Sale will almost certainly pass Ed Walsh (17) for first place.
"That's cool stuff to talk about in the offseason and stuff, and for your family and friends to talk about," Sale said. "For me personally, I just try to stay focused on what we have at hand. For me, I have a team here that needs me to help them win, and that's my job."
On Friday night, Sale will face the Twins in a rematch from this past Saturday when the two teams begin a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
Left-hander Logan Darnell will hope to have better results in his second career start than he had in his first. He allowed seven runs on 11 hits in five-plus innings on Saturday, also against the White Sox and Sale.
Twins: Twins acquire Milone from A's for Fuld
Hours before Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Twins acquired left-hander Tommy Milone from the A's in exchange for outfielder Sam Fuld.
Milone, 27, is 6-3 with a 3.55 ERA with 61 strikeouts and 26 walks in 96 1/3 innings this season with Oakland. He is expected to report to Triple-A Rochester and first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas is expected to be promoted to the Majors from Double-A.
Fuld played in 53 games with the Twins this season, batting .274 with one home run, 10 doubles and 12 stolen bases.
White Sox: Lindstrom to begin rehab assignment Friday
Matt Lindstrom is targeting Aug. 7, when the White Sox begin a road trip in Seattle, as his possible return date.
Lindstrom, who has been out of action since May 19 with a left ankle injury, will begin a rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte, where the plan is to have him work every other day.
"We'll see how it goes down there, though. That's what we're shooting for and hoping for," he said. "A lot of it has to do just with how my stuff is, too. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on that and monitor it. We'll just go ahead and see and just take it from there."
Worth noting
• Jose Abreu is on a 20-game hitting streak, good for third all-time among rookie hitting streaks in franchise history. The White Sox first baseman has hit in 38 of his last 39 games, with his last hitless game coming July 5 against the Mariners.
• The Twins on Thursday signed catcher Kurt Suzuki to a two-year, $12 million contract that also includes a one-year, $6 million vesting option for the 2017 season.

Step 10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
I have been thinking about this step a lot lately, and just how important it is in my life today as a member of AA and society as a whole. I didn't see it on the forum under the 12 steps, so I thought I would ask all of you out there who trudge the Road of Happy Destiny, how do you do step 10 and do you do step 10 every day?
I have been reading page 83-88 three time a day for the last few days, and I think I may just now get the point of of it in my life.
Yesterday, I was blessed to be one of 4 who took a meeting to a gentleman who has 20+ years in the program, and he is dying of lung cancer, I'm not a Dr. but I would say he wont be with us much longer.
He and his wife shared a little about dying, but not in the way I had expected, they both had a shine in their eyes as they did. His wife said he will be home before I will but I know he will be waiting for me when I get there, I was overwhelmed by the love and peace she had. That was such a humbling day for me, two people who I thought would have been crying and hurting, were two of the most peaceful people I have ever met. When I got home I was reading step 10 and 11 and I thought, that's why, If I do step 10 everyday of my life, I will have peace, I will stop blaming anyone, I will learn to trust in my God completely, I will learn to live without fear, I will learn, that to do any of this ,I have to help someone else and learn love and tolerance for all. Man how could you not be at peace with that in your life.
I have always loved the 9Th step promises, but it says we will be amazed before we are half way through (if we are painstaking) with step 9. I have been caught up on those promises since the day I walked into a meeting. I was thinking they would happen by osmosis I guess, I also think I overlooked the part about "they will always materialize if we work for them.' In my mind step 10 is where I learned HOW to work for them.
I was driving to pick up my mom last night from a trip, and I was running late so I was speeding, and I was pulled over (no warrants & I was legal ) and the policeman gave me a ticket, then ask me to step out of the car, ask if I had been drinking, and I said 'not in 2 months' he ask if he could search the car and I said sure and ask him if he wanted me to open the trunk. So they searched the car and said "you have a long record, did you know that?' I said "yes, I do that is why I haven't had a drink in two months" So he handed me my ticket and I said I was sorry that I had caused them any trouble, and I meant it. So I called my mom and told her I was going to be even more late, and she was pissed off bad, not at me at the police, for treating me that way, and I told her I was the one speeding, I was the one who had the DWI's on my record and everything else that may have shown up. Why was she mad at them for doing there job, if I was someone else, they may have got a drunk driver off the road and save a life or two. AND I MEANT IT, me, I used to hate cops, and in a calm way I took responsibility for what I had done now and in the past, without anger at them or myself. That is in the 9Th step promises, but I had to be applying step 10 in order for it to happen. I can't say I will handle it that way every time something bad comes up, but I am learning, "what we really have is a daily reprieve contingent of the maintenance of our spiritual condition."
These step continue to amaze me, and I continue to be amazed when I see them and God working through me. What a GREAT program.
Thanks for letting me share.

US, Spain play for gold in men's basketball final
The U.S. men's basketball team won a close game to clinch gold Sunday morning, edging out Spain 107-100.
Going into the Olympics, it was widely believed the U.S. would win gold. But Spain's team kept the U.S. players on their toes -- the two teams were just points apart throughout the game, with the U.S. ahead 83-82 at the end of the third quarter. The U.S. managed to pull ahead in the fourth to secure victory.
The U.S. was led by Kevin Durant's 30 points. LeBron James contributed 19 points and Bryant scored 17 for the Americans.
"This game was fun. It was a challenge, but we stepped up to it," Kobe Bryant told NBC.
This year's contest was a rematch of the Beijing games' final. Both sides boast NBA players, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Tyson Chandler, James Harden and Russell Westbrook, for the USA and Pau Gasol and Serge Ibaka for Spain.
The U.S. men's basketball team has won gold in every summer Olympics since 1992 except the 2004 Games in Athens, when Argentina won gold and Italy scored silver. The U.S. took home bronze that year.
Earlier Sunday, the Russian basketball team beat Argentina 81-77 for the bronze.

Gives the single-shot or lever gun shooter the period looks of a traditional, tang-mounted peep sight plus new adjustability features that allow fast changes from short- to long-range settings. Great for the cowboy shooter who wants to use the same gun in cowboy competition and long-range side matches, or as an alternative to vernier-type sights on single-shot rifles used in BPCR and other long-range competitions. Each sight comes with a post that is the correct height to regulate the same as the original factory iron sights. Click adjustable for windage and elevation; each click is approximately ¼" of adjustment at 100 yards. For larger elevation changes, you can easily swap in a higher or lower post (available separately); choose a lower post for close-in shooting and a taller post for longer ranges. All components are precision CNC machined from 4140 steel, with critical parts heat-treated for extra strength.
SPECS: Steel, blued. Drilling and tapping may be required for installation on older guns. Sight kit includes base, Low (L) or Standard (S) height post, ½" O.D. aperture disc with .055" peep, and Allen wrench. Fits Marlin 1894, 1897, 30AS, 39A & Winchester 9422.

Certain developments and changes of use can be carried out without planning permission, under the provisions of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (as amended).However, in addition to granting rights to carry out certain developments without the need to apply for formal planning permission, Article 3 of the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) places restrictions on those permitted development rights. Key restrictions include:
l Any permitted development right must be exercised in accordance with any exception, limitation or condition specified in relation to that class of development.l The GPDO does not permit development contrary to any condition imposed on any planning permission.l If the existing development/use is unlawful, it does not benefit from permitted development rights, ie the permitted development rights in Schedule 2 do not apply if: - in the case of permission granted in connection with an existing building, the building operations involved in the construction of that building are unlawful; - in the case of permission granted in connection with an existing use, that use is unlawful.l Permitted development rights do not authorise development that requires or involves the formation, laying out or material widening of a means of access to an existing highway that is a trunk road or classified road, or creates an obstruction to the view of persons using any highway used by vehicular traffic, so as to be likely to cause danger.l Demolition is not permitted except as set out in Part 31 of the GPDO.l Advice is also provided about development within the meaning of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment). Such development is not permitted by the GPDO unless confirmed by a screening opinion or a screening direction.
Article 4 Removal of Permitted Development RightsPermitted development rights on properties may be removed under Article 4 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (as amended). Permitted development rights for individual properties or larger developments may be removed at the time the original application is granted permission. If unsure about your property, please check with us whether its permitted development rights have been removed.In addition, permitted development rights may be removed in Conservation Areas under Article 4(2).
Article 4(2) DirectionsConservation Areas are "areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance". The designation of such areas however does not automatically mean that the Council has additional powers to achieve these ends. Normally a householder can make modest changes to their property without having first to apply for planning permission. This is known as 'permitted development' and is defined in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (as amended). It includes the replacement of windows, doors, roof coverings, the construction of small extensions, porches, hard standings etc.The character and appearance of many Conservation Areas has sadly already been partly eroded by unsympathetic changes and the loss of traditional building features. Such alterations include the replacement of traditional doors and windows, removal of chimneystacks, painting of previously unpainted brickwork, removal of boundary walls etc. Although relatively minor changes, cumulatively these alterations significantly detract from the character and appearance of a Conservation Area. Under normal planning powers it is impossible for this to be adequately controlled.
Article 4(2) Directions - Local Planning Authorities however have powers to remove certain 'permitted development' rights by making Article 4(2) Directions. Once a Direction has been served, planning permission is required for those classes of development listed. Such Directions only affect dwelling houses in single occupation (i.e. not subdivided into flats or with individual rooms let to tenants), and only those elevations that front onto a highway or open space (including side elevations of corner properties). Flats, shops, offices and other commercial buildings, and houses in multiple occupation, do not have the benefit of permitted development rights and so are already required to apply for planning permission for changes such as those listed below.With an Article 4(2) Direction in place, planning permission will be required for:
l The enlargement, improvement or other alteration of a dwellinghouse i.e. changes to windows, doors, roof coverings, chimneys, rainwater goods etc. l Alterations to roofs that materially affect the shape of a dwellinghouse.l The erection of a front porch.l The provision of a hard standing.l The installation, alteration or replacement of a satellite antenna.l The erection, alteration or removal of a chimney on a dwellinghouse or on a building within the curtilage.l The erection, alteration or demolition of a front gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure within the front garden, or a side boundary facing the road. l The painting of a dwellinghouse (apart from like-for-like repainting).The Article 4(2) Direction Schedule for your Conservation Area sets out the classes of development for which planning permission is now required. Carmarthenshire has four Article 4 directions: Cwmdu, Laugharne Taf Estuary, Llandovery and Llangadog. Click on the links to view the bounday plans. All plans are © Crown copyright. All rights reserved 100023377 (2008) You will probably know if your property is affected by such a direction, but you can check with the council if you are not sure.As a general guide, planning permission will not normally be granted to replace traditional features with modern replicas, or to use substitute materials such as aluminium or plastic windows, or concrete roof tiles. Applications for alterations that would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area will normally be recommended for refusal.
You do not need planning permission for repairs provided they are carried out in a traditional manner repeating the details of the original elements involved and using the same materials. You can also replace minor worn out elements without permission provided the replacements are like-for-like.Planning FeesThere are no fees payable to the Council for any planning application required solely as a result of an Article 4(2) Direction.
Further information and contactsThe legislation in the General Permitted Development Order is very complex.We recommend that anyone wishing to undertake works under permitted development rights should obtain confirmation from us before building anything that they consider may be acceptable as permitted development.

Padres' Smith to make Major League debut vs. Rays
No. 20 prospect to face Hellickson, who has struggled in recent starts
After a solid sophomore campaign, young Jeremy Hellickson has struggled at times in his third year in the Majors.
He will look to solve the streaking San Diego Padres -- who had won four straight before falling to the Rays Friday -- Saturday at Tropicana Field.
In his last outing, against the Blue Jays, Hellickson was spotted a seven-run lead before everything began to fall apart.
"I thought I was doing a good job of getting ahead of guys," Hellickson said. "I just couldn't put away guys with two strikes. It's pretty frustrating."
It is part of a continuing trend with the 26-year-old when he has been given the lead. The Rays have scored 15 runs in his last two starts but have lost them both, including an 8-7 defeat in his last outing. In Hellickson's last three starts, opponents are hitting .417 with three walks and a hit batsman when Tampa Bay has the lead.
"It's tough; you want to go out and throw strikes when the guys give me a lead like that, but at the same time, I don't want to throw it right over the middle," Hellickson said. "I still want to try to keep the ball down and work the corners, and last game, it got me in trouble."
Earlier in the season, the young right-hander had back-to-back outings where he allowed only three hits each, surrendering two runs over 14 innings. Since then, he has allowed 12 earned runs in 16 innings.
"The main thing was just commanding my fastball," Hellickson said. "Other than that, it wasn't much. I try to work my fastball in early and throw everything off that. Recently, I haven't been able to get ahead with it. When I have, it's been fastballs right over the heart of the plate. So I've just got to get back to commanding that and keeping it down."
Taking Clayton Richard's spot in the Padres' rotation will be Burch Smith, who will be making his Major League debut after making just six starts at Double-A.
"I try to be consistent every time out; I'm not doing anything too different from last year," Smith said. "I try to tell myself it's the same game. I like to work up and down, in and out, get ahead with that, let the defense work for me."
Smith had a 1.15 ERA in six starts in San Antonio. A 14th-round Draft pick only two years ago out of the University of Oklahoma, Smith has moved fast.
"He's ready for tomorrow," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's got a legit fastball; he throws it a lot, which I like. Fundamentally, he's got a good delivery, and he repeats it. It looks like his stride direction is in line with home plate."
"It will be a good test," Black added. "They're [Rays] a good fastball-hitting team."
Padres: Hundley regrets remarks about Grandal
Padres catcher Nick Hundley was quoted in a U-T San Diego article saying that Yasmani Grandal, who played 60 games with the Padres last season, "had a couple of good months on steroids."
"It was completely out of the realm of conversation ... and it wasn't in the context that we were talking," Hundley said before Friday's series opener against the Rays at Tropicana Field.
"But unfortunately, I said it publicly."
Black talked with Hundley about the comment Thursday.
"He's one of the guys on this team with the most tenure, service time," Black said. "Guys look to him for leadership. And I think Yazzy will as well."
Hundley, a six-year member of the Padres, said he had attempted to contact Grandal personally but had yet to speak with him as of Friday afternoon.
Grandal, who is eligible to come off the restricted list May 28, is serving a 50-game suspension for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
Rays: Longoria playing fully healed after hamstring surgery
Evan Longoria's hamstring injury appears to be behind him.
His bat has not suffered this season, but it took a while for the Rays third baseman to return to form in the field.
Rays manager Joe Maddon sees evidence that is indeed the case.
"I think two things: the hard play to his left, when he really gets extended to his left, because he's really good with the ball to his right," Maddon said. "When he gets extended to his left and gets up quickly to make a good throw, that tells me something. And the other one is just a slow roller with the bunt. That's just a hard play. And he makes that play great. But my point is, to be able to do that all the time, his legs have to feel good to do that. He's made a couple of those already."
"I think it's just a product of being more comfortable," Longoria said. "Feeling like my legs are underneath me, and I don't have anything to worry about as far as that goes."
Worth Noting
• Friday's contest marked the first time the Padres faced off against the AL East. It is the second series for the Rays against the NL West, after a 2-1 series victory over the Colorado Rockies last weekend.

Ethical Guidelines for Insurance Professionals – Donna J. Popow, Esq., CPCU, AIC
Donna J. Popow, Esq., CPCU, AIC, senior director of knowledge resources and ethics counsel for The Institutes, discusses the importance of ethical guidelines for insurance professionals.
Top Seven Life Insurance Companies For 2014
Life insurance is quite a large business niche, so there are no shortage of good companies. Still, the best life insurance companies are ranked by several entities according to quantitative and qualitative analysis, and many of the top companies show up on several lists. The following are the top seven life insurance companies for 2014.
1. State Farm
State Farm provides a wide variety of insurance vehicles for people, including life insurance. They are known for their exceptional policies all the way around, and MSN Money gives them an A++ rating overall, noting exceptional value and financial strength of the company.
A company's financial strength is definitely important when it comes to claims handling. This company has been around for a long time, and the only category in which State Farm lacked a star was customer service, though it still received a solid four stars.
2. New York Life Insurance Company
New York Life Insurance Company is another household name that provides many financial and insurance vehicles. This company is the strongest financially out of all the companies, and this is one reason why it comes in at #2.
3. USAA Life Insurance Company
This company is based out of New York and is also considered one of the best life insurance companies. USAA provides insurance vehicles to military members and their families, which has helped them gain the public's trust. They are noted for their claim handling and customer service.
4. MetLife
MetLife, while having a four star rating over all, comes in at number four. Expert analysts give MetLife an A+ rating for financial strength and value. Like State Farm, they too were given four stars for customer service.
5. Prudential
Prudential is known as "The Rock," and they have been providing life insurance policies for years. This is a company that not only has one of the best ratings but is very balanced. Across the board, concerning value, financial strength and customer service, this company ranks in between 4.5 and 5 stars.
6. Jackson National
Jackson National has an overall rating of 4.5 stars. While this name is widely-known, it's not as known as say State Farm or Prudential. Still. this company was given an A+ rating and is actually #2 on MSN Money's top life insurance companies list. For purposes of ranking in this article, it comes in at number six.
7. Northwestern Mutual
If it weren't for the four stars in customer service, this company might actually top the list. Of course a few other companies still have a longer track record than Northwestern Mutual, who was given an A++ rating. With an overall 4.5 stars, it rounds out the top seven life insurance companies for 2014.
Everyone's needs for life insurance are going to be different so your best bet is to get multiple life insurance quote from a website like www.waterwayfinancialgroup.com. While these ratings rank the best life insurance companies for 2014, you might find one of them caters to you better than another. A simple example would be your choice of one besides USAA if you are not a member of the military or a family member of someone who is or was enlisted.
How Important Is Life Insurance Overall?
People find it hard to view life insurance as a necessity. There are other bills that must be paid, and life insurance isn't bringing about any immediate benefits, or so it seems. In this rough economic climate, people are trying to pinch pennies at every corner. It can be difficult to consider purchasing a new life insurance policy, and those who have one have most definitely considered canceling their policies at one point in time. Whether you are debating on getting a life insurance policy or debating on keeping your current policy, think about the consequences. Especially if you are the bread winner in the household, your decision here could make all the difference when it comes to whether or not your family is provided for if you pass away.
You Need Life Insurance
In this sense, it seems that life insurance is a no-brainer. What happens if there is a sudden accident that takes you away from your family? How are they going to pay the bills? There are going to be bills for living expenses, final death expenses and most likely medical expenses as well. All these expenses are on top of the fact that your family is now mourning your loss. Considering all the facts, life insurance is one of the most important purchases a person can make when looking out for family.
Getting a life insurance policy from InsureNow365 can do more than just get a family through. They can allow a family to breathe and not worry about money during a time of loss. In other words, there is a cushion there during the mourning period. People have a misconception that life insurance is too expensive. Sure, there are expensive policies out there up for grabs, but there are also affordable policies without all the hassle. All you have to do is decide what type of insurance you want and the amount of coverage.
Tips To Avoid Financial Ignorance
Financial ignorance is one of the biggest mistakes that can be made by those who want to remain on top of their budget. It is important to remain on top of personal finances before they begin to cause a lot of damage that could have been avoided. Being financially literate is essential in the modern age for those who do not want to be engulfed by money problems. Most individuals start blaming their destiny when it comes to financial issues, when it has to do with personal negligence on their part. This piece will pinpoint financial tips that should be kept in mind to avoid financial ignorance.
Let's begin with payments that have to be made on time. For those who are in any kind of debt, payments should be made regularly without fail. This can be a minimum payment, but it should be made. Those debts will not just disappear and things will simply worsen as the interest begins to accumulate. Late payments are a major problem for people and even a small debt can become a problem in the short and long-term. Always look to focus on the credit card debts first and then move from there. The interest can start to pile up in a hurry.
If there are multiple debts in place, focus on those that have the highest interest rates. This is usually the credit card debts, but this does not have to be the case for everyone. Pinpoint those interest rates and see what the payment plan encompasses. Always try to speak with the creditors and get a payment plan that suits your finances.
Most individuals will aim to go with payday loans to take care of their debts and that is not recommended unless the situation is dire. The loan for this will be worse than anything that is already requiring payment. This is an extreme choice that should be left until the end, when all other avenues run dry.
Financial freedom does not come from becoming literate, it becomes from becoming free from debt. Focus on spending frugally in the future and take care of those debts first and for all. Extra expenses can start to pile up in a hurry.
Use these tips and watch as financial ignorance becomes a thing of the past and those debts are paid off.

NBA Game Summary - Houston at San Antonio (Friday, December 28th) Final Score: San Antonio 122, Houston 116 San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Tony Parker posted 31 points, 10 assists and five rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs out-gunned the Houston Rockets, 122-116, on Friday. Tim Duncan scored 30 points while Manu Ginobili added 23 for the Spurs, who are now 8-0 at home in December. Danny Green gave 17 points and five boards in the win. "All the stuff that happened in that game was crazy," said Parker. "We just tried to take a lot of 3-point shots and keep up with them." James Harden scored a game-high 33 points along with seven assists and five rebounds for the Rockets, who saw their season-high five-game winning streak snapped. Chandler Parsons gave 24 points and eight boards in the loss. "I think we're the top two teams in the league when it comes to pace," said Parsons. "Today was definitely a fast one and it's both of our styles, we just couldn't catch them at the end." San Antonio scored 14 of the first 17 points in the game with Green capping the burst on a 3-pointer with 7 1/2 minutes to play in the first. The Spurs went on another 9-0 run in the first to take a 41-29 lead into the second, but Houston used a 15-5 run in the second to cut the deficit to two after Daequan Cook hit a technical free throw to make it a 46-44 game. Houston kept the game close and a 7-1 run gave the team its first lead of the game at 65-64 after Cole Aldrich hit a basket with just over a minute to play, but Ginobili followed with a 3-pointer and a layup for a 69-65 lead after 24 minutes of play. The margin stayed in single-digits throughout the third quarter and the Spurs' lead fell to just one after Parsons followed a 3-pointer with a slam for an 83-82 game, but Ginobili answered with another 3-ball and that helped the team take a 98-92 lead into the final frame.
