PORT CHARLOTTE — Manager Joe Maddon said the battle for the three open bullpen spots is relatively settled, though he isn't ready to name names. Plus, there could be some new names as the Rays explore trade and waiver-wire acquisitions as other teams make their final decisions over the next few days.
"We have a good idea what we like, but they're definitely still in play," Maddon said. "There's always a chance for a deal to be made, too. You've always got that. Based on what we have here right now, if that remains static, we'll know before (Wednesday's final exhibition). If something were to happen acquisition-wise, then of course that would change."
The three relievers who appear to have won the jobs — as of now — are veteran RHP Juan Cruz and LHPs Jake McGee and Cesar Ramos.
Maddon acknowledged that Rule 5 LHP Cesar Cabral has impressed enough to be "a wrench-thrower," but it still appears more likely the Rays will trade him than keep him. He wasn't as sharp Wednesday as he had been, allowing two hits and two walks in the ninth. Other candidates are RHPs Rob Delaney and Cory Wade.
The other four spots are expected to be filled by RHPs Kyle Farnsworth, Joel Peralta, Adam Russell and Andy Sonnanstine.
SHIELDS UP: RHP James Shields, the No. 2 starter, had an impressive outing in a 4-1 win, throwing seven shutout innings at a Phillies lineup that included Jimmy Rollins, Raul Ibanez and Ryan Howard and needing only 87 pitches to do so. "Eighty-seven and seven — I'll take that all day, every day," Shields said.
Maddon noted how well Shields used his curveball and his command of his fastball. "That is some really good Shieldsy right there," Maddon said.
CATCHING ON: C John Jaso remains "uncomfortable" as a result of being hit in the groin by a foul ball Saturday, and with no set return date, there is a possibility the Rays might have to start looking at alternatives (probably Jose Lobaton?) for the opening day roster. "If he's not responding well, if the pain threshold is not going down enough, we may have to," Maddon said. "But as of right now we're not there yet."
Jaso said he was "still feeling it" and was told it could take up to six weeks to feel normal.
TRAVELIN' MAN: OF/DH Manny Ramirez offered to make the long road trip to Kissimmee today, but Maddon, after initially agreeing, decided after the game to keep him home. Ramirez, who has been playing almost every day, is hitting .350 with a 1.029 OPS through 47 spring plate appearances. He doubled (sliding in headfirst), singled and walked Wednesday.
The Rays have been pleased with how hard Ramirez has been working and with the adjustment he made early in camp to his swing, making his bat quicker. "He'd gotten in some bad habits," Maddon said.
OF Johnny Damon and Farnsworth, who both live in the Orlando area, will make the trip.
PITCHING IN: RHP Wade Davis is set to go 90-plus pitches today, coming off a rough outing in Fort Myers against the Twins (8 R, 9 H, 2 BB, 31/3 IP) that followed a bout with the flu. "I'm feeling a lot better now," he said. "This is one where you want to have success." … Russell, who has allowed 24 baserunners in eight innings, made some adjustments during a Tuesday bullpen session with pitching coach Jim Hickey, assistant Stan Boroski and special adviser Dave Eiland and will work today in a minor-league game.
GAME DETAILS: The Rays won for the 11th time in their past 16 games to improve to 12-12-1. … Evan Longoria hit his third homer of the spring. … C Kelly Shoppach had the first complete game of the spring, playing all nine innings. … 1B candidate Casey Kotchman had another hit to hike his average to .386.

"We're here, we've landed!"
An ecstatic Sandy Person, president of the Solano Economic Development Corporation, couldn't contain her excitement as city and county leaders gathered Wednesday for a long awaited announcement from ICON Aircraft Inc.
The "major milestone" of the company according to Kirk Hawkins, ICON CEO and founder, is that they are in fact moving from Southern California to Vacaville.
Judging by the standing ovation the announcement received, there is little doubt that the community is in full support.
"It's truly been a collaborative effort," Person said.
"It's potentially a game changer," said Dave Daly, manager of the Nut Tree Airport. He added that the feedback from around the airport is that people are really excited about ICON's move. "Having an airplane manufacturer at a little airport is a huge deal," he said.
He added that it opens the door for other businesses to locate in Vacaville. Also, Daly said the Nut Tree will still remain the small airport that it is today.
"It will be all that it can be as a little airport," he reassured.
Solano County Supervisor Linda Seifert said, in a previously recorded message since she did not attend Wednesday's event, that ICON "wisely selected our community to build on the legacy of the Wright Brothers, bringing flight to more people."
"One thing we can always say about Solano County is that it's collaborative, collegial and we get things done," she added.
Supervisor John Vasquez, who called the sleek A-5 model sitting before the audience "cute," said ICON's relocation is building on the legacy left by a visionary, Ed Power, who created the Nut Tree Airport.
"We would not have the airport here, we would not have ICON here without Ed Power," he said. "(ICON) will change the complexion of the airport, Vacaville and Solano County."
Congressman John Garamendi, D-Solano, said the highly anticipated announcement was the culmination of putting a lot of pieces to the puzzle together.
"This community pulled together," he said standing next to the A-5 model. "It's amazing what happens when all the pieces come together. I almost want to come over and hug it."
Assemblyman Jim Frazier, D-Solano, said working with the state and the county to ensure ICON's move to Vacaville helped overcome road blocks and that the collaborative process along the way has set the stage for the future in how things are done in California.
He added that the education offered through Solano Community College and the Nut Tree Airport will all fit together nicely with ICON.
Vacaville City Councilman Curtis Hunt was just as thrilled.
"What an exciting day," he said, adding that even with challenges Vacaville and ICON came out on top. "It's a competitive economic environment."
Vacaville Mayor Steve Hardy said he's thrilled that ICON chose Vacaville.
"I'm so proud, I'm busting my buttons," he said. "All the pieces together have brought nothing but good news."
Hawkins gave several reasons why Solano County and Vacaville were chosen after an arduous selection process. The area is business friendly, has excellent facilities, proximity to world class destinations and year round flying weather.
There is one aspect though, that wasn't necessarily written on any list of requirements, but still remained important.
"Does this feel like home? Is this the future for us?" Hawkins said he asked himself. "Vacaville exceeded our expectations and it feels like home to us."

Obsessive music fan, specifically Bowie, Heart, Cheap Trick, Roxy Music, etc.
Loudwire was given an amazing opportunity to cover the Visual Japan Summit 2016, and it was quite the extravaganza.
Mischief, mayhem and (of course) music marked the second edition of the Alternative Press Music Awards, held last night (July 22) at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Slash, Joan Jett and Billy Corgan were saluted and Pierce the Veil won big at the Alternative Press Music Awards, which featured some unique performances.
It's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tradition to have a jam session with inductees new and old at the end of the ceremony. This year was no different: After the Red Hot Chili Peppers' own three-song set late Saturday night, frontman Anthony Kiedis encouraged others to join them onstage.
Red Hot Chili Peppers were the very last act inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, late Saturday night -- and with the ceremony creeping close to the five-hour mark, many in attendance had already split.
The Beastie Boys' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction was appropriately raucous, although somewhat bittersweet: Although Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz), Mike D (Michael Diamond) and their long-time DJ Mix Master Mike appeared at the ceremony, Adam Yauch (aka MCA) was unable to attend.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
If it's not too far out of the way, I would pay the doctor's office a visit and request a copy of the report so long as you have a signed release of information form. Your mother may need to make the phone call if she has not granted you a release of information. With HIPAA (patient privacy) laws so tight these days, they may choose not to give anyone but the patient the results. Have your mother call later today, otherwise get a release of information form from the clinic, have your mum sign it, then get a copy of the report from the clinic or from radiology.
Thank you for visiting JustAnswer.com's Health Information. I hope that all of your concerns have been addressed and that your experience here was positive and helpful. If you have a new or different question, please don't hesitate to come back or submit a new question. It has been a pleasure helping you. Your FEEDBACK is very important to me.
Kindest Regards,***** *****, MD
No need for all caps. You're frustrated, but ALL CAPS (the Internet equivalent of yelling) is not appropriate in addressing me. You didn't tell me in your initial information that you had release of information and HIPAA taken care of ... don't shoot at me because your clinic is jerking you around. The bot***** *****ne is, it's your information and I would make demanding calls over and over until/if they respond. If she has pneumonia and is not being treated, then by God get her to someone who will see her, evaulate her, and treat her if her own physician is not doing so.
Is she being treated with antibiotics or other medications for pneumonia? If not, I would not wait past mid-day to seek treatment elsewhere. Get the x-rays to take with you so they don't have to be repeated.
Go to the physician's office, release in hand, and demand to get this information in person. It's the doctor's responsibility to treat your mother. To not do so is at a minimum negligence, and at most malpractise. These are words that tend to catch physician's attention. Full stop.
I would go to the doctor's office and demand to see him/her and find out what the plan is going to be. If they are still dinking you around, go to the ER and get her treated. I would be livid with the physician and I would let the physician and the physician's staff know well that I am there and I want an answer NOW. Yes, I just yelled, but not at you. We're trying to work together, right? Demand an answer and find out the treatment plan, even if it takes a little sabre rattling.
Your Choices:
If the doctor doesn't respond by mid-day with calls and a visit by you, then I would head straight to the ER. If there is no response, I would also fire the physician, straight up and in his/her face, via an appointment. This kind of negligence/malpractise is not tolerable. Full Stop.
Regards,***** *****, MD
Can you let me know how things went today? Is your mother being treated now? What did the physician's office say?

Timothy Donohue, 54, was arrested Saturday night after the high-speed pursuit on Interstate 5, CBS Sacramento reported.
Donahue's mother, Betty, told the station her son is sick, and that recently his behavior had changed since doctors discovered Timothy had a brain tumor about the size of an orange, and then removed it. She says her son has been acting erratically since the surgery; sometimes confused, often enraged.
"He was not acting the same, not at all, not all," Betty Donahue said.
She added, "He's not a murderer. He's not a violent person. He would do anything for anybody."
"I think he definitely needs medical help," said Betty.
CBS Sacramento reports that, according to the American Brain Tumor Association, changes in behavior occur in the majority of patients with brain tumors at some point during their treatment, including changes in emotional control.
"I think he definitely needs medical help," said Betty Donahue.
Timothy's family is concerned that officials at the jail are not aware of his condition; however, according to CBS Sacramento, officials say they are, and that like all other inmates, he will get the medical help he needs.

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council has listened to the request of a rural Princeton woman and will not annex her property into the city limits.
At this week's meeting, the council voted unanimously against an ordinance to annex property owned by Dana Dickens into the city limits. The two-acre property is located on 2100 East Street, between Interstate 80 and John Deere Road and north of the city's new water treatment plant. Her property is surrounded by other property already in the city limits.
Dickens had addressed the council in November about the possible annexation and again at Monday's meeting.
Dickens said she bought her property 21 years ago because it was a rural setting and gave her the outdoor space and freedoms she wanted to raise her sons and teach them to hunt and fish, ride dirt bikes and four-wheelers. She wanted to give her sons the same kind of life she had growing up.
Dickens said she has put every spare moment and every spare dime into her historic country home and property. She loves the freedom her rural property gives her to enjoy life as a family, she said.
The forced annexation is not about having to pay more taxes, though no one wants to pay more taxes and get nothing in return, Dickens said. The additional taxes which the city would receive from her, if her property was annexed, would not make or break her, but neither would her taxes make much of an impact on the city's budget, she said.
In discussing the proposed annexation ordinance, Commissioner Joel Quiram said the purpose of the annexation was simply to clean up the city map. However, he said he understood Dickens' feelings and realized there were no benefits to her to be annexed into the city. If she did run sewer and water to her property, she would have to pay to run those lines, and that would cost her a good deal of money, he said.
"Dana would get nothing out of it, and the tax revenue to the city is not significant," Quiram said.
Commissioner Terry Madsen said the neighboring property around the Dickens' property could de-annex from the city at any time and then the city would have Dickens' two-acre plot of land in the middle of 200 acres. A de-annexation might not be very realistic, but it could happen, he said.
After further discussion, the council voted unanimously against the annexation ordinance.
In related business, the city council did approve two other annexation ordinances with Commissioner Bob Warren voting no on both ordinances.
One annexation ordinance dealt with a property located on Backbone Road between the former Lay's Furniture Store and the Bailey Subdivision. The other ordinance dealt with properties on South Main Street. The South Main Street properties included pasture land, fields and one residence.
In his comments, Warren questioned whether there were any tax abatements or incentives offered to those property owners, since incentives and tax abatements had been given in the past to other property owners. He questioned the fairness of offering abatements or incentives to some property owners but not all.
Zoning Officer Pete Nelson said the city has offered incentives to strategic parcels which were desirous for the city to have within the city limits. Since beginning the annexation process in 2004, the city has brought in an estimated 100 properties with about half of them receiving some type of incentive.

All dogs need to have their nails trimmed from time to time, even if they don't like it. Some breeds also need to have the hair between their toes and paw pads trimmed to give them traction and prevent slipping. My dogs love to shake hands and are used to me handling their feet. Yet the minute nail clippers or scissors appear, it's obvious this isn't an activity they agree with. Although, a couple CANIDAE Pure Heaven treats can make the process a bit more acceptable. So why will a dog bug you to shake hands, but then pull his paw away when you hold on to it so you can cut nails or trim hair?
Consider the importance we place on our feet and hands. Feet give us mobility when we want to move around or need to flee from danger. Hands are communication tools – how many of you can talk without using your hands? It's much easier to take care of ourselves, stay clean, eat, protect ourselves and perform other tasks that would be difficult to do without hands.
To dogs, their feet are every bit as important to their survival. Feet are used to chase down prey, run away from danger, protect themselves, dig holes to flush out prey, find cooler soil in the summer or stay warmer in the winter, bury food to prevent other animals from stealing it and investigate things. Dogs also use their feet to communicate.
Glands on their paw pads leave a scent trail they can follow home, and scratching the ground with their back feet after elimination spreads their scent over a larger area. The scratch marks leave a visual sign to other canines passing by. It's natural for dogs to instinctively protect their paws because if one or more were injured, it puts them at a disadvantage. Today, most dogs don't have to worry about surviving in the wild, but their ancestors did and being apprehensive about having their feet messed with is in their DNA.
The paw pad is thick and consists of fat and tissue, acting like shock absorbers to protect joints and bones. It provides insulation against harsh weather conditions, helps with endurance and is rough to provide traction when walking, making quick turns and sprinting. Dogs that spend more time on rough surfaces have tougher and less sensitive paw pads than those that spend more time on smoother surfaces. However, even dogs with tough pads can burn their paw pads in the summertime when walking on hot surfaces like pavement and metal.
Toenails give the feet stability and maneuverability when running and walking. The top of the foot is made up of sensitive nerve endings, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. If you watch your dog's feet when he's walking, you can see how the toenails seem to grip as he walks.
When you consider the importance dogs place on their feet, you can understand why they are protective of them and uncomfortable when we try to clip their nails or trim hair between the pads. Trying to force a dog to sit still during a pedicure can send the wrong message to your pet, and make it feel like you are attacking them.
It's necessary, though, to handle a dog's feet to inspect them after a walk or hike to remove burrs, small rocks or twigs that may have become lodged between the pads or toes. A dog's feet need to be cleaned during the winter months to remove ice melt and deicers used on sidewalks and streets. Sometimes you need to check them for dryness that can cause the pads to crack, and small cuts that can cause discomfort or become infected if left untreated. And then there's the ritual of trimming the toenails. It can be frustrating when your touchy dog jerks his paw back just as you get the nail lined up in the clipper.
When you're losing the battle, take a deep breath, sit back and consider how important a dog's feet are to them. They pull their feet back because instinct tells them to protect their paws. Sometimes a CANIDAE biscuit can help ease anxiety, but understanding why holding their paw makes them uneasy is a good reason to be patient, calm and gentle. If you can't do everything in one sitting, there's nothing wrong with trimming one or two nails each day until the job is done.
If you have problems trimming your dog's nails, an easy solution is to walk him on hard surfaces like a sidewalk or pavement because the rough texture helps to wear the nails down naturally as the dog walks. Dogs may not like us messing with their feet, but sometimes we have to, for their sake.

One setback won't derail Padres
One setback won't derail Padres
The question would be getting from here, late August, to there, the postseason. At the close of business on Wednesday night, after beating the Mets, 7-5, the Padres were once again leading the National League Wild Card race. But they were also dealing with a potentially damaging development.
The Padres are a pitching-first operation. They have the lowest-team ERA in the Major Leagues, but they entered Wednesday night's game tied for 14th in the NL in runs scored. Still, if you're going to be long in one area and short in the other, pick pitching for the long suit.
Jake Peavy checked the imposing Mets' attack well enough to emerge with his 14th victory of the season, giving up two runs on only two hits over six innings. He had a few bouts of atypical command problems, walking five, but in the end, it was a strong performance. Peavy also didn't hurt his position as the NL strikeout leader, fanning 11 Mets in those six innings.
It was an electric atmosphere, an announced crowd of 50,060 at Shea Stadium, as one of baseball's best pitchers beat the team with the NL's best record.
"If you don't have adrenaline flowing through your veins when you're pitching here, I don't know if you're alive," Peavy said with a smile. "And then you have the planes flying over just adding to the decibel level."
But this was an example of what Peavy and the Padres do best, taking a fine offense out of its game. If you look at the Padres' pitching staff as an intact group, you have difficulty imagining this team not making the playoffs, no matter what offensive shortcomings might be present. The problem is that one of the most prominent pitchers on this pitching-rich club has tightness in his lower back.
That would be Chris Young, the Major League leader in ERA at 2.12. Young recently returned from the disabled list after an oblique strain, but he felt discomfort in his lower back and some restriction in movement during his Tuesday night start against the Mets. On Wednesday, he returned to San Diego for tests on his back.
"This is not uncommon for pitchers to have a soreness in one area, and then compensate for that and end up having it impact another [area]," said Padres manager Bud Black. "I think this is a classic example of that."
Initial tests on Young's back were "somewhat encouraging," Black said. The Padres believe that Young may not have to miss more than one start, and that he will not have to be put on the DL.
Still, the back is a notoriously tricky part of the human anatomy. What would normally be a highly optimistic view of what the next six weeks holds now has a bit of a shadow hanging over it. But even if Young misses significant time, the rest of San Diego's pitching is not going to evaporate. None of the success this staff has had this season can be considered a fluke. But it will be nearly impossible to duplicate what Young has accomplished so far.
"We do lead the league in pitching, we've pitched pretty well all year and I don't think it should drastically fall off," Black said. "With that said, we have almost 140 innings of Chris Young with about a 2.00 ERA, which is awfully nice. And we're going to miss that if he doesn't pitch again, which we don't think is going to happen.
"If he misses one start, and he comes back, that's a big bonus. If he misses two starts, that's a bit of a blow. But you consider yourself a team, and hopefully, the depth is there and the other guys pick up the slack, whether it's the bullpen, whether it's the offense, whether it's the starter who replaces Chris and goes out there and does a credible job."
Wil Ledezma, a long reliever on the current staff, and Tim Stauffer, who has pitched very well recently at Triple-A Portland, appear to be the leading options if the Padres require another starter. The long season not only demands pitching quality, but pitching quantity as well.
"This team, to be what it wants to be, we've got to have Chris Young healthy," Peavy said. "But while he's out, we've all got to take the responsibility, bullpen and starters, to take up the slack."
What the Padres had envisioned for themselves this season was winning the NL West. With this pitching staff, that was a completely realistic goal. It isn't the Padres' fault that the Diamondbacks have come on faster than anybody outside the Arizona organization imagined.
The Padres' current position, with a one-game lead in the NL Wild Card race and some questions about Young's overall well-being, is not like being in charge of the division. But with a reasonably positive diagnosis for Young, and with this much pitching talent still on hand, it also isn't a crisis.

Fujifilm's Studiomaster Pro 3
Productivity Software For Your Images
Photos © 2004, Steve Bedell, All Rights Reserved
The rapidly changing world of professional photography has photographers scrambling to grasp all the new technology. Some photographers are film based, some use a mix of film and digital, and many (like me) are now 100 percent digital. But all photographers I talk to express the same concern--how can they increase productivity? Many are burning the midnight oil and falling asleep in front of their computer screens, so clearly something needs to be done to decrease the amount of time photographers spend inputting, editing, adjusting, retouching, and ordering digital files. The aim of software such as Studiomaster Pro 3 is to address these concerns and get photographers back where they belong--either in the studio or at home in the La-Z-Boy! With that in mind, let's see how Fuji has gone about their mission.
Let's go first to editing, since that's most likely our first stop in the real world. After you've downloaded some images to your computer, open the file up in Fujifilm's Studiomaster Pro 3 software. Your images will be displayed on the light table. At that point you can either delete ones you don't want or "reject" them so they'll be available to you at a later time. After you've got your "winners" picked, you move on to the next step. For many, that may be producing a slide show of images for your client.
Even a self-professed techno idiot like myself found this to be child's play. You simply go to the "Preferences" tab under the Edit bar, go to the Slide Show tab and enter your wishes. A few mouse clicks and you have a nice slide show that can be customized with music (MP3) should you choose. Additionally, the slide show can be a profit center and sold as an add-on to your portrait print order, since the program has options that will prevent your client from being able to print the files. Now that you have a means to sort, edit, and show your files, you're ready to order.
This is where the program really shines. Before you do anything, you must "partner" with a Fuji-approved lab that is set up with their end of the software. While all these labs will be able to handle your orders, there are differences, since each lab will have their own unique set of templates and special effects. The new version of Studiomaster Pro 3 also has networking capabilities so if you take your client's order on one computer and then send it to the lab on another there is no need to transfer the information. Fuji tells me that this was a primary concern of many photographers.
Once you've selected your files, they're probably going to need
to be retouched, cropped, and maybe rotated. The cropping and rotating is easily
handled in Studiomaster Pro 3. There are some basic retouching features included
but the photographer has the option of either instructing the lab to do the
retouching or doing more extensive work in Photoshop and then bringing it back
to the Fuji space for ordering. Once you've got your files ready, it's
then a very simple matter to drag the images into the templates.
Let's say you want two 5x7s and eight wallets from one pose. Just drag that image into those templates and you're done! A unique feature is the ability to mix images while still keeping unit pricing. For example, let's say a person has ordered eight wallets, but they're all different poses. No problem, just drag one of each into the template and you're still only paying for one unit. Some can even be sepia or black and white if you desire. Add this to the fact that each participating lab also has their own templates to create unique images for sports, seniors, weddings, etc., and you've pretty much got all bases covered. Once you're done with the order, you send it to "packing" where it compiles all the info. Then you send the order to the lab via either the Internet or a CD. You're done!
Let's take a special look at weddings. One of the main reasons to use
Studiomaster Pro 3 is to help you control and manage your business and provide
workflow solutions. Nowhere is this help needed more than weddings. I think
most photographers are afraid to actually sit down and figure out how many hours
are spent on a wedding, from the initial contact to delivering the finished
album. I know one guy who recently did, including Photoshop time, and it was
staggering. I like to do things in the easiest, most cost-effective way possible,
which to me includes zero Photoshop time on weddings, and Studiomaster Pro 3
is a great tool for accomplishing that end. Let's use the following scenario
to see how it can drastically cut down your time and increase sales at the same

An Iran oil shock could hit India's economy hard, writes FirstPost. The market is already pricing in the risk of higher inflation and slower growth, with a major plunge this week.
"...India faces a 'triple whammy' arising from its vulnerabilities on three counts – its current account deficits, its fuel subsidies, and budget deficits. And any escalation in Iran-Israeli tension, which has already sent crude oil prices edging up," FirstPost explains. "In particular, rising oil prices could worsen current account balances, and an expanding current account deficit could lead to currency weakness and force domestic rates higher to fund the deficit."
Yesterday, the benchmark Sensex shed 450 points (or around 3 percent) on fears that higher oil prices would hit India's efforts to rein in inflation, according to Moneycontrol.com. It was the Indian market's biggest drop in nearly six months, and belied hopes of an untroubled rally preceding the announcement of the budget in March.
So does that mean India's more likely to stay the course in its opposition to U.S. sanctions -- or more drastic action -- against Iran? Yep.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Can you please help me to write an official letter to the judge so I can explain why she is unable to appear and that I apologize on herbehalf that it was languge barrier and misunderstanding, and he had the will to take his decision based on what we write and explain. Thank you in advance
Can you please let me know if you are going to be able to help me with the letter or I have to try find somebody else.
Thank you
Sorry, I had to step away from my computer for a bit.
We can't help you write the letter because we are only allowed to provide information, not advice and representation. In addition, a judge cannot consider ex parte information like this and likely won't even be able to read the letter. The judge can only consider things said in open court or through properly filed motions that are served on all parties.

Bransford is now a village in the civil parish of Leigh and Bransford, in the Malvern Hills District in the county of Worcestershire, England. It had been a chapelry in Leigh parish before 1866 when it became a civil parish itself.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Bransford from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
From 1894 until 1974 Bransford was a parish in the Martley Rural District. Since 1974 it has been part of the Malvern Hills District, first in the county of Hereford and Worcester, and then, since 1998, in Worcestershire again.
There is a sketchmap of the parishes of Martley Rural District on the rural district page. [Bransford is listed under Leigh in this publication.]

When I think of candy it's these hard sugary sweets that come to mid, as opposed to the Mars bars, Snickers, Milky Ways et al, which are never referred to as candies here.
Other Americans can check my usage to ensure this is not just my personal quirk, but in my experience in Leftpondia candy, as a mass noun, can include chocolates, Snickers, etc. As in: "I got a lot of Halloween candy this year." Or "Would you like some candy?"
But when used as an individual noun and in plural, it always refers to hard-boiled sweets. As in: "Would you like a candy?" Or "I ate three candies."

Nicole Kidman | Mario Testino | V Magazine September 2012 | 'Truth or Bare'/
If Victoria's Secret was smart, they would make 45-year-old Nicole Kidman an honorary Angel and contribute $25,000 to her favorite philanthropy. Kidman delivers a jaw-dropping 'eyes wide open' performance in Mario Testino's fabulous editorial for V Magazine's September Travel issue, and she wears Victoria's Secret all the way.
As for Kidman, she drops her typical demure and wholesome look, pulling out all the stops on a topless cover accompanied by a derriere-baring skit (well, sort of a skirt) and black stilettos. Nicole is styled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeels — herself no spring chicken.
Kidman is on screen in 'The Paperboy', called one of the worst films at Cannes this year. Read an entertaining Huff Po piece on critics reactions to this "trash masterpiece".
Nicole says she's ready to take some risk, after delivering this blockbuster reminder that appearances aren't always what they seem. Click over to V Magazine for the Nicole Kidman interview. Wow! ~Anne

After Lily Allen's baby joy, Chris Evans and wife announce pregnancy
Lily Allen and
Sam Cooper announced the birth of their 'mini cooper' yesterday following two tragic miscarriages previously,
Chris Evans has revealed he and his wife are also expecting.
Radio 2 breakfast presenter Evans announced his wife Natasha 's pregnancy in his column in Daily Mail magazine Live.
He wrote: âMrs E is in the family way once again. And yes, I can confirm she is…Thank you so much to the people who made it possible. We are eternally grateful. You make dreams come true.âChris, who confirmed that the new addition to the family was conceived after IVF treatment, already has a two-year-old son called Noah with his wife Natasha, as well as a 25-year-old daughter called Jade from a previous relationship.
'My wife and I couldnât be more thrilled…Like a lot of couples, becoming pregnant this time was not easy and to the extent that it was beginning to feel like it may never happen.'Tashâs first pregnancy was practically textbook, so naively we thought a follow-up kid would be a cinch. Not so, however.âTash did fall pregnant 18 months ago but the pregnancy became ectopic, we lost the baby and, quite frankly, we almost lost my wife.
'Had it not been for an emergency late-night operation by a brilliant lady surgeon, that would have almost certainly been the case.âAfter that, Tashâs situation was different and we were forced to go down the route of IVFâ.â.â.âThere have been a few false starts before striking gold.
'Noah is convinced heâs going to have a baby sister come the end of May. All I know is that I might need a few days off my radio show.â
Piers Morgan and presenter Emma Willis have also welcomed newborns this weekend.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
I am an ~ 1.5 year old boxer mix, they think I am mixed with setter or spaniel aka a Fluffy Boxer. Funny thing, my foster mom googled fluffy boxer pictures as a joke and a long lost relative popped up? I know there is no such thing but Miss Beth is so funny. I am one proud all american mutt, a rescue that knows I was saved.
I was one of the lucky ones, Animal Control took action when they received a call about some neglected dogs. They confiscated my sister (or mom) and I. We were tied up outside, surviving on rocks and chewing on our kennel and chain. My front teeth are worn down but wouldn't yours be too if no one fed you and you only had rocks to chew? They checked them out and I have no pain and I have my very important back chewing teeth. I am slowly gaining the weight back. I am 36 lbs (should be ~40) and I was less than 28 lbs just 5-6 weeks ago when the shelter asked for Miss Beth's help. (Mom beth has a picture of my new family is interested)
I am learning a home, I enjoy the time with my furry foster siblings, I am good in a crate and am basically the bubba in my new foster home. Couches are new and kinda cool, going upstairs (inside) isn't something I know yet but heading to the yard from
the deck I have down pat. I am learning leash work but I am better at leaving than heading back though I am slowly getting it. I would love a fenced yard and even a 2 or four legged active companion. (Look for my gal pal Felicia, a fluffy boxer, soon)
I am available for adoption through RBF, Recycled Best Friends and Pooches on the move. Miss Beth says one look at my crooked goofy grin and you will fall in love.
Please, you MUST click the following link BEFORE emailing for further information. If you'd like to find out more information about our adoption procedure or to apply for this dog paste this into your browser: http://poochesonthemove.net/adoption-info-application/
Oskar (rbf), a Allentown Boxer/Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Australian Shepherd for sale in Allentown, or seeking a Boxer/Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in Allentown.

Dr.Niessen and Dr. Adams Windsor Ontario... feedback for TT and Breast lift
- yellowbird_c
- Last updated: 5 years ago
After visiting 2 doctors for a consult.. I am extremely nervous. The first Dr. Was Dr.Adams and than the second Dr. was Dr. Niessen. I am extremely nervous about doing a tummy tuck and a breast lift and want peoples opinions about the doctors. There is an extreme amount of money difference between the two. One doctor will do the two procedures at once and the other Dr. will do them at seperate times (this one is 5,000 cheaper). I have seen Dr. Adams Tummy tuck and it looked pretty good, but heard his breast lifts aren't the best.(one person) Dr. Niessen I heard is great at doing the breast. He is charging 11,500 and its a lot of cash but haven't heard to much about his Tummy Tuck. I lost 85 pounds on my own working out and dieting, it took me two years. I have worked very very very hard and hate the way my body looks now. I wish someone could give me some feedback on these two doctors.

New cue used to perceive motion in depthRockville, Md. � A third 3D motion cue, dynamic half-occlusion, has been identified by researchers as a means by which the percept of motion in depth is achieved, according to a new study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO).
Building on principles of binocular geometry established by Leonardo da Vinci, Drs. Kevin Brooks and Barbara Gillam of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, conducted a series of experiments in which observers were asked to match the amplitude of motion in depth seen through stereoscopic stimuli presented on two computer monitors. Dynamic versions of a monocular gap stereogram were used to produce a percept of motion in depth from changes in the locations of unmatched features, despite a lack of any previously known cues to 3D motion. The studies showed that while the established cues of changing disparity (CD) and interocular velocity difference (IOVD) are involved in the percept of motion in depth for features visible in both eyes, a new cue, dynamic half-occlusion, is used when unmatched features are observed.
"The benefits of this knowledge enhance the potential for creating more effective simulation of motion in 3D displays and virtual environments," said Brooks. "It will also be interesting to see whether neurophysiological studies are able to locate the cells that mediate these processes."

CHANGES to the way pupils are examined at the end of their secondary school education have divided opinion among head- teachers.
The GCSE exams for 16-year-old children in England, which were introduced in the 1980s, are to be replaced by an English Baccalau-reate Certificate, with the first courses to begin in September 2015.
The new qualification will scrap the retaking of modules, reduce reliance on coursework and bring back tough end-of-year exams.
Dorcan Academy headteacher Scott Sissons said: "It is a big step backwards.
"GCSEs have seen students' results go up over the past 20 years, that is partly because of pressure on schools through league tables but mainly because the quality of teaching in schools has improved.
"Students and parents are much more motivated and have higher aspirations.
"GCSEs work. I don't see very much evidence at all, apart from comparisons to some unusual countries abroad, that show GCSEs aren't appropriate.
"I am concerned about the type of qualifications that are being proposed because they are much more academic qualifications that will suit a small minority of children.
"My concern is the new exam will focus on recall of knowledge.
"Nowadays, if people need to know things they Google it. The skill of being able to remember lots of information is not one society needs in the same way it might have done 50 years ago."
Children of all abilities will take the EBacc and there will be only one exam board for each subject, in order to prevent competition between boards to deliver tests which are easier to pass.
Wendy Conaghan, the headteacher of Kingsdown School , said: "The idea they are going to restrict the number of exam boards is good because there are always concerns of quality assurance.
"There are other bits about the new exams that worry me. My background is in mathematics. If there is going to be one three-hour exam that the children sit at the end of it there is going to be a problem.
"The A* candidates will sit there and have a go at every single bit but the other children will sit there and not be able to attempt 50 per cent of the exam.
"I can't see how that is a positive experience for any student. I don't see that having a one-tier system for all students will be a good idea."
Churchfields Academy headteacher Steve Flavin said the challenge will be keeping current GCSE students motivated.
He said: "It is clear that the GCSE examination needs changing. The exam has served schools and students well since its introduction.
"However, what is clear is that for many reasons parents, employees and higher education institutions have lost confidence in the GCSE as a national measure of attainment.
"My view is that the GCSE is a good exam because it provides a level playing field for all students and is not an easy exam to pass.
"The challenge for schools and teachers is to continue to motivate the children who are currently taking the GCSE examination, which includes all secondary aged pupils from Year 8 onwards."
Jane Cordes, the headteacher of St Lukes School, said: "As a special school headteacher for pupils with behaviour, emotional and social difficulties, the traditional curriculum or testing is not conducive to most of the cohort.
"I am concerned that SEN pupils will become the 'lost children' and I hope to continue to deliver our school ethos – 'Arrive with a past, leave with a future' – through a curriculum that best meets their needs."

Australian challenger Alex Leapai has weighed in marginally heavier than champion Wladimir Klitschko for their heavyweight title fight to be staged in Germany on Saturday.
Leapai scaled 112.5kg (248.2-pounds) to Klitschko's 112.2kg (247.35-pounds) in the eve of fight formality, which took place at a shopping centre in Oberhausen.
Although Klitschko enjoys massive height and reach advantages, the fact he was slightly lighter didn't surprise Leapai's trainer Noel Thornberry, who predicted earlier in the week that would be the case.
And, as happened at the press conference this past Tuesday, the event was hijacked to some extent by former WBO heavyweight champion, Shannon Briggs, who once again crashed the gathering.
"You're looking fat around the sides," Briggs shouted at Klitschko when the quadruple champion was on the scales.
He offered Klitschko's trainer James Ali Bashir a million dollars and then a million Euros to switch camps and train him.
Briggs then turned his attention to Leapai, whom he described as a bum at the press conference.
"Good luck Alex, be strong tomorrow, stay strong," Briggs yelled. "Get inside and bang hard to the body."


text: New Low-e Glass or Window Film? A Comparison to Help You Decide 06/25/2012 | By Steve DeBusk According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 35% of energy wasted in buildings is due to inefficient windows. The California Energy Commission estimates that around 40% of a typical building's cooling requirements are due to solar heat gain through windows. Given these facts, it's likely that you could make big strides in energy savings by improving this exterior building element. When it comes to making sure your windows are as energy-efficient as possible, you've got a few options. So that you can make the best choice for your facility, we're comparing standard solar-control window film, low-e window film, and low-e window characteristics. We're evaluating these choices based on: Insulating performance. During cold weather, the insulating effect of windows has a direct impact on how the interior space feels. The better the window's insulating performance, the warmer the room feels in cold weather. According to the Efficient Windows Collaborative, when glass surface temperatures fall below 52 degrees F. is when building occupants start to notice thermal discomfort. Payback and ROI. When installing new windows or window film, the amount of time it will take to see a payback is important; if payback is quick, it's more likely to be a realistic option for your facility. Initial cost. Upfront costs are top-of-mind for any commercial building purchase. Installation process. The installation method used, and the amount of time required to install new windows or window film, is a factor to take into consideration. Building occupants may need to be temporarily relocated, and parts of the building may not be accessible during certain periods of time. Warranty. Knowing how long you have to report problems or correct installation issues can save headaches down the road if you discover a problem with your windows or window film. Effect on outdoor views. Saving energy is important, but you don't want those efforts to prevent building occupants from being able to see outside and enjoying views while they're inside. Standard window films (Reflective and lower-reflectance films) Insulating Performance U-value and emissivity values vary for standard window films, depending on the type of film, with emissivity values ranging from 0.70 to 0.81, which means that 19 to 30% of the room's heat is reflected back into the room in the winter to help reduce heating costs. While providing excellent savings during cooling season, these window films reduce solar gain through windows year-round, even when heat gain might be helpful (during the winter). In climates with prolonged heating seasons, these window films can increase the amount of heat needed from the building's HVAC system. Overall, these films provide excellent net savings and an attractive ROI. Typical ROI depends on many factors for any window film or window replacement project, such as type of film, window-to-wall ratio, type of existing glass, energy rates, type of heating and cooling system, overhangs, adjacent buildings, etc. For this article, a modern 10-story, 150,000-square-foot building was used as the model. It was evaluated for energy savings across a variety of climates based on national average energy rates using the U.S. Department of Energy's EnergyPlus program. ROI and Initial Cost ROI for reflective standard window film: 2 to 5 years ROI for lower reflectance window films: 3 to 6 years The total installed cost of standard window film products can range from $4 to $6 per square foot. Installation Process These window films are installed on the interior of the window, which means that building occupants will most likely need to be relocated for a very short time (sometimes only a matter of minutes) for the installation process, depending on how close they are to the windows. Being in the same room as the installation has no negative effects on occupants. Installers place drop cloths on the floor and cover/move furniture, if necessary. Then they clean and prep the glass, and use a special mounting solution, squeegee, and cutting blades to fit the film to the glass. It's a fairly quiet process, and shouldn't be too intrusive for occupants nearby. Once the film is applied, building occupants can move back to their spaces (if they had to relocate). It can take from a few days up to a month for the film to completely cure and bond to the glass, depending on climate and the type of window film. It's recommended that nothing is placed on the windows (tape, window clings, signs, etc.) until the film is completely cured. Warranty 10-18 years for commercial buildings Effect on Occupants and Outdoor Views How the outdoors look through standard window film depends on the type of film you choose. Darker window film reduces the amount of sunlight streaming into the interior space; darker (less than 20% visible light transmission) or reflective films (visible reflectance of 30 percent or more) can make it difficult to see outside on a cloudy/rainy day or at night. With most window films, building occupants will still be able to enjoy views to the outdoors on the vast majority of days, although the scenery may appear darker if a low visible light transmission film (less than 20%) is used. With reflective window film, shades, drapes, or blinds might be necessary to reduce unwanted reflections or provide privacy at night. Low-e window films Insulating Performance Low-e window film U-value and emissivity values can range, depending on the type of film. Conventional low-e window film has an emissivity rating of 0.33, which means that 67% of the room's heat is reflected back into the room in the winter. There are newer low-e window films available with emissivity ratings as low as 0.07, which means that 93 percent of the room's heat is reflected back into the space. Traditional low-e window film improves insulating performance of existing windows by 44%; higher-performance, newer low-e window film can improve insulating performance by as much as 92%. Low-e films offset the loss of free solar heat during the heating season (unlike standard window films) and normally provide both cooling and heating savings. Low-e films improve window insulating performance 24/7, while only limiting solar heat gain in winter for 2-3 hours per day on sunny days (which are less frequent than in warmer months). The low-e coating reduces heat loss in the winter; during the summer, it reduces non-solar heat gain. ROI and Initial Cost Payback for low-e films ranges from 2-5 years. These films usually offer a faster ROI due to all-season performance and typically high heat rejection properties in summer. Low-e window film can be installed in most commercial spaces for between $5 and $8 per square foot. Some recently introduced high visible light transmission low-e films (70% visible transmission) are more expensive, with installed costs of $12 to $15 per square foot. Payback figures shown do not include these high light transmission low-e films. Installation Process The same process is followed as installation processes for standard window films (see above). Warranty Warranties for these products range from 7 to 15 years. Newer low-e films offer the longer warranties. Effect on Occupants and Outdoor Views Newer low-e films are designed to be spectrally selective and reflect infrared light while allowing visible light to pass through. This allows natural lighting into a space while minimizing heat allowed through the windows. Some older, conventional low-e films can display an iridescent appearance when installed near certain types of energy-efficient lighting (like compact fluorescents). Newer low-e coatings are available that virtually eliminate this iridescence.Pages: 1 2 View All Previous ArticleNext ArticleENERGY STAR Announces 2013 Upgrade of Portfolio Manager Read more on Exteriors » Twitter Facebook LinkedIn RSS Email to a Friend * required fields From* To * Message cancel Email Print Print Related Coverage Standards to Improve Facade Inspections Smart Sensors to Monitor Building Envelope Green Guidelines for Metal Facades Related Articles Exteriors Are Cool Pavements All They're Cracked Up to Be?

Dear Mexican: Our customer-service department uses a phone-tree system that asks callers to press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish, and a few other numbers for commonly spoken languages in our area. I handle customer complaints as part of my job, and I get a surprising number of complaints from people who feel they shouldn't have to press a number to be spoken to in the "normal" language of English. For some mysterious reason, they are offended by our phone tree. You seem to have a fairly high readership of people who are generally offended by Spanish-speaking people; could you please deliver a message to them for me? The message is this: The phone tree is for your own good. If we didn't ask non-English speakers to identify themselves at the beginning of the call, English-speaking people would have to wait in line behind those who don't speak English, and would have to wait for those non-English speakers to get on the line with a non-Spanish- (or other language-) speaking representative. They'd then have to wait for that customer to be transferred to a representative who speaks their language. All of this speaking of the wrong language and call-transferring would make calling a customer-service center take far longer, and would irritate everyone. There is no law against not speaking English in this country; a company isn't going to give up revenue by refusing to serve people who don't speak English just to please you jingoists. People should just be grateful that they're asked to press 1 for English and not 8.

Dear Gabacha: I get asked this question mucho, and yours is as good a respuesta as I could ever scrawl. Can I pick you up at Home Depot if I ever need a replacement?
Dear Mexican: Being in law enforcement, I've had to handle many radio runs. I think Mexicans are some of the hardest-working people in Mexi-America, but why is it that when Mexicans drink, they often stab or hit a brother or cousin? Why not a stranger to shake off some of that tension?

Dear Triple H Gabacho: Mexican family and drinking is as volatile a mix as an Irishman and Jameson, but stats don't support your anecdotal evidence. The 2005 study "Family Violence Statistics: Including Statistics on Strangers and Acquaintances," by the U.S. Department of Justice, found that "whites and blacks were more likely than Hispanics or persons of other races to be victimized by family violence" between 1998 and 2002, the most recent period investigated by the DOJ. As I've written before, "alcohol" and "logic" repel each other like "border" and "enforcement."
Speaking of alcohol, boycott Absolut vodka for its cowardly capitulation to the Know Nothing nation over the company's recent advertising campaign, which imagined that the Mexican-American War never occurred and that what's now the Southwest United States always remained on the Mexican side of la frontera. Hey, Absolut: Here in Americaztlán, we value people who stand by their actions, who don't back down in the face of petty protestations from whiners. May the Mohammedans who keep invading Sweden's shores teach your countrymen the beauty of a vodka-free life.
