– It's always good news when a company does well enough to expand. For small
business owners who often put in long hours and risk their personal fortunes to
build their enterprise, the key question is how best to finance the expansion.
Often, a term loan – the traditional commercial loan offered by many financial
institutions – is the answer.
you file a loan application, you should carefully review your operating needs.
Term loans are appropriate for long-term financing (i.e., anything over a year)
– not for short-term purchases of, for example, extra inventory or growing
receivables. Ideally, you should make those types of purchases using credit
terms supplied by your suppliers, business income, or a line of credit.
there are as many kinds of expansion objectives as there are businesses;
therefore, it's helpful for business owners to be clear regarding the motivating
business needs for the term loan before applying. Understanding the purpose of
the financing will help an owner choose the right duration for the loan. As an
example, to finance equipment it typically makes sense to match its useful life
with the duration of the loan, typically between three and seven years;
whereas, appropriate loan terms for real estate are generally anywhere from 10
to 20 years.
considerations are also important in determining whether a fixed or variable
interest rate is best. Here's a snapshot of each option:
fixed rate offers certainty. A fixed rate on a term loan provides consistency
in payment streams. Knowing exactly how much you'll pay each month can help you
get a handle on what your regular expenses will be.
variable rate fluctuates with interest rate changes. The benefit of a variable
interest rate loan is that they typically offer the more attractive interest
rates at the beginning of the loan, and the rate could go down during the life
of a loan and save you money in the long run. However, a variable rate offers
less certainty, and interest rates could increase.
choosing between a fixed and variable interest rate, you should appreciate and
understand your risk tolerance as well as consider the predictability or the
patterns and cycles, if any, of your company's cash flow. You should also bear
in mind that fixed-rate term loans are often advisable in a rising-rate
You can
greatly improve your chances of getting the loan terms you desire if you know
what a lender is seeking from loan applicants. Generally, lenders want
assurance that a business owner will be able to pay back the loan. To do this,
they'll examine a company's operations to see whether it generates enough income
to service the debt the loan will add to the business's balance sheet. A track
record of profitability is helpful.
just as lenders carefully screen their applicants, it's important for a
borrower to discriminate when choosing a lender. While interest rates on term
loans are a key concern, you should also look closely at fees. In some cases,
an initial low interest rate may mask hidden fees that can dramatically raise
the overall cost of your loan.
addition to reviewing rates and fees, many small business owners seek out a
lender with experience in financial planning and investments. Having this kind
of wide-ranging expertise available to you is like having an advisor on your
management team, and could offer a huge advantage for your business operations.
A financial advisor can help you assess your business needs, as well as draw
upon their wealth of contacts to assist you in determining the best lender and
loan for your unique situation.

Contents of the Notice of Eviction
Re-service of the Notice of Eviction
Special Rules For Children, Mentally Ill, Handicapped, Elderly or Others
Removal of Property and Animals
Items Not To Be Removed
The issuance of the warrant of eviction cancels the agreement under which the tenant held the premises and ends the relationship between the landlord and tenant. The warrant of eviction authorizes the sheriff or marshal to perform the eviction. An eviction is the removal of a tenant and his or her personal belongings from an apartment. The marshal sees that any entrance locks on the premises to which the tenant may have access are changed. Before you can be evicted, the marshal must serve a marshal's notice, also called a notice of eviction.
This section will explain all about the notice of eviction and the eviction. If you are looking for information on how to stop an eviction, click on Stopping an Eviction. If you have already been evicted, but you think the eviction was improper, click on Restore to Possession. If you have already been evicted, and never received any court papers, click on Illegal Lock-out.
Before executing the warrant the sheriff or marshal must give notice in writing to the persons to be evicted. The marshal may perform an eviction or obtain legal possession between the hours of sunrise and sunset, Monday through Friday, except on legal holidays.
If you receive a Notice of Eviction, when the marshal will return to evict you depends on how the Notice of Eviction was served.
The Notice of Eviction must be served the same way as a notice of petition and petition is served. To read more about this click on Service of the Notice of Petition and Petition.
If the Notice of Eviction is given by personal delivery the marshal may evict without further notice on the fourth business day after the date the notice was given to you, or on any business day after that. Business days are Monday through Friday except legal holidays.

72-hour Notice Period Begins

*Exception (Holiday): When there is a holiday on any weekday (Monday through Friday) after the notice is personally served and on or before the day shown in the column, the earliest day becomes the business day after the day shown in this column.
If the Notice of Eviction is given by a method other than personal delivery and requires a mailing, such as substituted delivery or conspicuous place delivery, the marshal may evict without further notice on the sixth business day after the date of the notice, or on any business day after that. When copies of the notice of eviction are mailed the city marshal adds two business days to the 72-hour time period for a total of five days, excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Business days are Monday through Friday except legal holidays.

*Exception (Holiday): When there is a holiday on any weekday (Monday through Friday) after the notice is served and on or before the day shown in the column, the earliest day becomes the business day after the day shown in this column.
The Notice of Eviction must be dated. The date must not be earlier than the date the notice is delivered to the respondent personally or mailed to the respondent.
Generally, the Notice of Eviction must name all persons in possession of the premises who derive their right to possession through the respondent.
There are two Notice of Eviction forms, one designated personal service and one designated alternative service/mailing. The Marshal must use the appropriate notice of eviction form, which depends on how the notice is served. If the marshal uses the alternative service/mailing notice form, even if such form is personally served, the marshal must also mail a copy of the form, enter the date of mailing on the form, and not evict the respondent before the sixth business day after the date of the notice.
Contents of the Notice of Eviction
The warrant of eviction must contain the following information:
- the marshal's name, address, telephone number, and badge number;
- the name and county of the court;
- the title of the action, including the index number;
- the address of the premises, including a designation or description of the rooms or apartment concerned;
- a statement in bold type designating the notice as a notice of eviction;
- the date of the notice, which must be on or after the date the notice is delivered personally to the respondent, or if served by any method that requires a mailing, the date on which it is mailed; and
- statements as to when the respondent may be evicted, depending on whether the notice was given by personal service or by any other manner; that the eviction can only be stopped by the issuance of an order to show cause with a stay provision and where to obtain such order to show cause; that if the court issues a stay which is in effect a respondent can only be evicted if the respondent fails to make a payment or comply with a court's order by a certain date, failure to obtain a stay will result in eviction without further notice.
- The notice also contains statements advising you that if you are dependent upon a person in the military, advise the clerk immediately to protect your rights; that if you need legal assistance, the Legal Aid Society may be able to assist you, or if you are a senior citizen you may seek assistance by dialing 311; that if you receive public assistance, notify your caseworker immediately as the Human Resources Administration may be able to help you with back payments whether or not you receive public assistance.
Re-service of the Notice of Eviction
The purpose of the Notice of Eviction is make sure that the respondent has adequate advanced warning of an eviction. If the notice becomes stale after delivery, it can no longer be used.
Marshals are required to give an additional notice of eviction
in two situations:
1) Where thirty days have passed since the earliest eviction date specified by the previous Notice of Eviction and the warrant has not yet been executed; or
2) where a court order stays the eviction after service of the Notice of Eviction and the stay later expires or is vacated, unless the court specifically gives the petitioner permission to evict respondent without serving a new Notice of Eviction. In that situation the petitioner may evict without re-serving an eviction notice as long as the warrant of eviction is executed within three business days of the earliest date of eviction authorized by the court.
Unless the court orders otherwise, the additional notice of eviction may be given by regular mail, and an extra two business days must be added to the 72-hour period. The notice period begins the day following the date of the mailing and runs for five business days.
The additional notice of eviction may also be delivered personally. If the notice of eviction is personally delivered to the respondent on or before the date on the notice, the eviction may be conducted on the fourth business day after the date printed in the section "Date of the Notice."
To learn more about re-service of the Notice of Eviction, click on Civil Court Directive Service of Eviction Notices.
Special Rules For Children, Mentally Ill, Handicapped, Elderly or Others
The marshal is required to find out in advance if the premises is occupied by any individual unable to fend for themselves, and if so, to notify the Department of Investigation before scheduling the eviction. The marshal must notify local police if unattended children are found at an eviction site. If, upon arriving at the premises, the marshal discovers that the tenant or any occupants of the unit are mentally ill, handicapped, elderly, or otherwise unable to care for themselves, the marshal must notify the Department of Investigation and the appropriate social welfare agency. The eviction must be postponed for approximately two weeks to give the appropriate social service agency an opportunity to provide assistance to such occupants.
Removal of Property and Animals
The landlord may choose between having the marshal perform an eviction or having the marshal obtain legal possession. In both, the marshal returns control of the premises to the landlord. For an eviction, the marshal must hire a bonded moving company licensed by the New York State Department of Transportation, and must direct the moving company to deliver the items removed from the premises to a warehouse licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs. In a legal possession, the tenant's personal property remains under the care and control of the landlord until the tenant can arrange to transport the property to another location.
If the marshal finds any living animals, he or she must notify Animal Rescue to remove the animals.
The marshal is required to prepare a written inventory of all items contained in the premises of any tenant to be evicted.
If the tenant is present at the eviction, the tenant has the right to remove any property or valuables. Property can also be released to a relative, friend or neighbor, if the marshal is satisfied that the person has the authority to take the property.
Money found and taken by the marshal must be left in the custody of the local police station, or in the marshal's office if delivery to the police station is not possible.
After the warrant has been executed the marshal is required to notify the evicted tenants of the location of their property.
Items Not
To Be Removed
The following articles are not to be removed from the premises: food, groceries, dishes encrusted with food, any fixture so attached to the realty that its removal will cause damage to the realty, rugs and wall-to-wall carpets which are firmly affixed to the floor, linoleum or tiles.

Deng goes off on Twitter, says illness that kept him out of Game 6 more serious than flu
DEERFIELD, Ill. – Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng says the illness that kept him out of a playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets was far more serious than the flu.
He missed the Bulls' loss in Game 6 on Thursday with what coach Tom Thibodeau said were flu-like symptoms.
In one of a series of tweets from the hospital on Friday, Deng wrote: "It really upsets me that everyone thinks I would miss a game" because of the flu.
He also confirmed he had a spinal tap to rule out meningitis earlier in the week. And he indicated he will join the team for Game 7 in Brooklyn if he's medically cleared, although he might have to spend the night in the hospital.

Two of the teens, Chaylene Mills and Sidne Mann, were on the female volleyball team and brought home gold medals - without losing a match the entire week. They were on the team with other teens from Anchorage, Palmer, and Juneau. Athlete Shoney Ridderbush competed in the Arctic Sports division and was part of five different competitions in that category.
Record snowman plans scrapped
Plans to build a record-breaking snowman in Valdez are melting away according to organizer Ronnie Houchin, student services director for Prince William Sound Community College. Houchin said a lack of engineering plans for the project caused the city – and its snow moving machinery – to step back from the project, which had been slated to begin Sunday, March 18. Organizers had asked for city support on the snowman, which would have needed to reach a height exceeding 123 feet to break the Guinness World Record. "Right now we're kind of in a holding pattern," Houchin said.
Redistricting board meets again
The Alaska Redistricting Board plans to meet later this month to begin redrawing the state's political boundaries after the March 14 decision from the Alaska Supreme Court ordered the board to follow the process laid out in an earlier court case, Hickel v. Southeast Conference. Meetings are scheduled from March 26-31 to work toward adopting a new plan. "Our entire district (for both House and Senate) could change," said Sheri Pierce, city clerk for the City of Valdez. "It's a possibility."
Pierce said city administrators and elected officials will be monitoring the process, which will not allow for public input. "This, we're going to have to watch really close."

Uganda tabloid names "200 top" homosexuals after controversial anti-gay law passed
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday's signing of the bill by President Yoweri Museveni marked "a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights" and warned that Washington could cut aid to the government of the East African nation.
"Now that this law has been enacted, we are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the Government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values," Kerry said in a statement.
The Red Pepper tabloid published the names - and some pictures - in a front-page story under the headline: "EXPOSED!"
The list included prominent Ugandan gay activists such as Pepe Julian Onziema, who has repeatedly warned that Uganda's new anti-gay law could spark violence against homosexuals. There was a popular Ugandan hip-hop star as well as a Catholic priest.
Also Tuesday, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon demanded the revision or repeal of Uganda's law imposing life sentences for homosexuality and same-sex marriage.
The U.N. chief warned Tuesday that the law could fuel prejudice and encourage harassment against gays, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
Ban urged the Ugandan government to protect all people from violence and discrimination and offered U.N. support "for constructive dialogue," he said.Few Ugandans identify themselves as gay, and the tabloid's publication of alleged homosexuals recalled a similar list published in 2011 by a now-defunct tabloid that called for the execution of gays. A Ugandan judge later condemned the outing of homosexuals in a country where gays face severe discrimination, saying it amounted to an invasion of privacy.
A prominent Ugandan gay activist was killed after that list came out, and activists said at the time that they believed David Kato was targeted because of his work promoting gay rights in Uganda.
The new law punishes gay sex with up to life in jail - a measure criticized as draconian in a country where homosexuality already had been criminalized. The bill originally proposed the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," defined as repeated gay sex between consenting adults and acts involving a minor, a disabled person or where one partner is infected with HIV. The law also calls for first-time offenders to be sentenced to 14 years in jail.
In signing the bill, Museveni said the measure is needed because the West is promoting homosexuality in Africa, rejecting international criticism of the law as interference in Uganda's internal affairs. Museveni accused "arrogant and careless Western groups" of trying to recruit Ugandan children into homosexuality, but he did not name these purported groups.
Ugandan police spokesman Patrick Onyango said on Tuesday thatno homosexuals have been arrested since Museveni signed the bill but that at least two had been taken into custody since lawmakers passed the bill last December.
Onziema, the gay activist, said he had counted up to six arrests and that more than a dozen Ugandan homosexuals had fled the country since December over safety concerns.
Homosexuality has long been criminalized in Uganda under a colonial-era law that outlawed sex acts "against the order of nature."
Some Ugandan lawyers and activists have said they will challenge the law in court as unconstitutional and impossible to implement.
Nicholas Opiyo, a Ugandan lawyer who runs a rights watchdog group called Chapter Four, predicted Tuesday that it make life worse for Ugandan gays.
"The enactment of the anti-homosexuality bill has only emboldened the ... population in their rejection of anybody perceived to be gay or even friendly to gays," he said. "These things are going to continue. They are going to get more frequent."
The Ugandan law - which came just over a month after Nigeria passed a similar measure against gays - has been condemned around the world, although it is widely popular among Ugandans.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay warned that the law would institutionalize discrimination and could encourage harassment and violence against gays.

Revenge of the purged
Three back-bench martyrs of the Republican Conference sent a message back to their leaders yesterday: Payback's a bear.
Reps. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.), Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), all stripped of prized committee assignments earlier this month because of perceived sins against the party, did a three-amigos end zone dance as GOP leaders struggled and failed to get the votes for a tax-cut bill designed to empower Speaker John Boehner in negotiating the so-called fiscal cliff.
Story Continued Below
All three voted against a related spending-cut bill that narrowly passed earlier on Thursday.
Schweikert Tweeted that he would be a "no" vote on the tax measure.
And, after Boehner concluded he didn't have the votes to move forward, Huelskamp issued a fiery press release accusing GOP leaders of trying to bully rank-and-file Republicans into voting for a bad bill.
"Republican leadership thought they could silence conservatives when they kicked us off our committees," Huelskamp said. "I'm glad that enough of my colleagues refused to back down from the threats and intimidation, thus preventing the conference from abandoning our principles."
The whole episode gave Boehner the feel of a substitute teacher who is accountable for what happens in the classroom but isn't really in control of the kids. He's already used the tools at his disposal to bring Huelskamp, Amash and Schweikert into line — and that didn't work.
The leadership-driven Republican Steering Committee kicked the three lawmakers off of committees, a move that they interpreted as punishment for conservative voting records.
But Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), a conservative and a member of the Steering Committee, said the real reason was an "a-hole factor." Another member of the Steering Committee, seeking to distinguish between these lawmakers and others who might be difficult to deal with, called them the "most egregious a-holes" in the Republican Conference.
The meaning: These guys didn't just vote no — they went extra miles in working against the interests of the GOP.
The three freshmen didn't cost Boehner his "Plan B" bill. But his sanctions didn't work, and that could serve as a yellow light to other hell-no conservatives that they can flout leadership and not worry too much about the consequences. They have been bolstered by the anti-tax Club for Growth, which has been critical of GOP leadership for taking away the committee assignments and which urged members of the House to vote "no" on the tax bill.

The original members of Black Sabbath have confirmed they're heading back into the studio to record an album of new material with top producer Rick Rubin.
Ozzy Osbourne, Bill Ward, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler reunited for a press conference at the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Los Angeles on Friday morning – the 41st anniversary of their first concert at the fabled venue – to announce big plans for 2012.
As well as recording their first studio album together since 1978, the group will tour the world and headline Britain's Download Festival in June.
Earlier this month, guitarist Iommi revealed the band had secretly regrouped and rehearsed at Osbourne's home in California.
He told Billboard.com, "It was for a bit of fun, and to see if we could all play. It was good, but it was just purely, 'Let's have a go and see what happens.'"
The four original members of the group reunited on and off between 1997 and 2006 for live events, but a feud over the band's name drove a wedge between Iommi and Osbourne and led to a brief legal battle which has since been dropped.

Marist College Eastwood
My main theme is that a human has a finite time before death and that this time should be thoroughly fulfilled emotionally, physically and spiritually. My body of work promotes a hedonistic lifestyle: what feels good is good. Just live life in the now and make the most of it. I chose this theme after realising that many people, including those close to me, waste entire lifetimes in an office, sacrificing relationships and personal reflective time in the name of material wealth. I have communicated this in an attention-grabbing magazine format for its civilised audience.

Don A. Samuelson, 65, of 6415 NW 56th Lane, was charged with two counts of video voyeurism of someone age 19 or older.
A University of Florida veterinary professor was arrested Friday afternoon on charges of video voyeurism for allegedly using a camera pen to secretly record images of the bodies of students on campus, according to an arrest report by the University Police Department.
Don A. Samuelson, 65, of 6415 NW 56th Lane, was charged with several counts of video voyeurism of someone age 19 or older.
UPD police Chief Linda Stump on Saturday said the investigation is continuing.
UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes said Samuelson is on administrative leave.
"In a situation such as this one with serious allegations, the appropriate action to pursue would be termination," Sikes said, adding that part of the ongoing investigation involves whether other women may have been video-recorded.
The arrest report lists three incidents from April through Aug. 30 in which Samuelson is accused of using a camera pen with an integrated thumb drive to record images of areas of women's chests and thighs.
One of the women became aware of the recording as it was occurring on Aug. 30, police reported.
Samuelson confessed to the allegations, the report states, saying he did it for his amusement, entertainment, sexual arousal or gratification.
The camera pen was seized from Samuelson's office by police with a search warrant.
In an incident around April 10, Samuelson pointed the camera pen toward the woman's chest in the V-neck of her shirt, police said. Around June 6, Samuelson is accused of recording images of an area of a woman's chest. On Aug. 30, the report alleges, he recorded images of a woman's chest and her upper inner thighs.
Videos of the incidents were stored on the thumb drive, UPD said. Samuelson's face and voice were also recorded in several of the videos on the thumb drive, police reported.
The camera pen thumb drive also had several other videos of women working in Samuelson's lab or meeting with him in his office.
The camera pen was found near other thumb drives that contained pornographic images, the report states.
Samuelson admitted using the camera pen and said he was attempting to gather proof that one of the women was not wearing undergarments, the report states.
A UF College of Veterinary Medicine webpage for Samuelson may have been taken down as of Saturday afternoon — a "page not found" message comes up and a link to it from a faculty list has a line through his name.
Samuelson's entry on the faculty list gave his expertise as comparative ocular anatomy, glaucoma, veterinary histology, marine mammal anatomy and health-related studies.
A Samuelson profile on another UF website lists his interests as "comparative anatomy and physiology of most organ systems of the body, with special emphasis on those structures associated with marine mammals."

The Gauchos had one of their best offensive performances of the season on Sunday afternoon, tying a season-high with their 11 run output.
Following the mercy-rule shortened victory, the Gauchos found themselves tied atop the Big West Conference standings with Pacific at 8-4. UCSB's overall record improved to 23-26, while Pacific fell to 29-16.
Nine of UCSB's 11 runs came in a third inning rally that, at one point, saw seven straight Gauchos reach base.
The outbreak was started by pitcher Shelby Wisdom, who hit a booming three run home run to left-center that landed on the batting practice facility of Uyesaka Stadium, the home of Gaucho baseball located behind Campus Diamond.
That home run chased Pacific starter Dani Bonnet from the game, but was just the beginning of the woes for the Tigers' pitching staff. Reliever Tori Shepard was able to retire Lauren Boser, but would allow six straight Gauchos to reach base after that, highlighted by back-to-back RBI doubles from Allison Taylor and Keilani Jennings.
Pacific's third pitcher of the inning, Nikki Armagost, allowed a double to the first batter she faced, but was eventually able to extinguish the rally by coaxing Wisdom into a groundout.
The nine run explosion was the highest single inning run output of the season for the Gauchos. In fact, it was more than the Gauchos have scored in any entire game this season save their 11 run win at UC Riverside on Apr. 14.
As intergral as Wisdom was to the UCSB offense, she was just as important in shutting down Pacific's bats. After allowing a two run homer to Pacific's Armagost in the first inning, Wisdom allowed just two hits the rest of the way, picking up her 18th win of the season with relative ease.
Wisdom retired the final seven batters she faced consecutively, highlighted by a swinging strikeout of Alexa Rivera in the fifth inning.
Left fielder McKenzie Kane led all players with three hits, all infield singles.
Taylor, Jennings, Wisdom, and catcher Lainey DePompa had two hits apiece, and the quartet drove in 10 of the Gauchos' 11 runs.
Next week, the Gauchos will travel to UC Davis to take on the Aggies in a three-game series on Apr. 28-29.
UCSB next plays at home on May 5, when they will host rivals Cal Poly.

Director Ron Howard has spent much of this year working on Rush, a movie that chronicles the 1976 Formula One battle between drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Much of the movie is centered on Lauda's fiery crash at the Nürburgring that left him badly hurt and his return to racing a mere six weeks later.
Howard has kept fans abreast of the movie's progress via his posts on Twitter. The movie is being edited now, with a release planned for 2013.
This video gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the movie, along with comments by Howard and stars Chris Helmsworth, who plays Hunt, and Daniel Bruhl, who plays Lauda.

King Felix goes for the Mariners in Cleveland
The Seattle Mariners hope their ace Felix Hernandez can help them cool off the red-hot Cleveland Indians on Sunday in the third chapter of a four game series at Progressive Field.
The Indians squandered a four-run lead on Saturday, but rebounded to beat the Mariners in walk-off fashion for the second straight day. Jason Kipnis, who crushed the game-winning, three-run homer in the 10th inning of Friday's series opener, singled and Asdrubal Cabrera doubled before an intentional walk to Nick Swisher loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Kipnis then scored the game-winning run on Mark Reynolds' fielder's choice, as catcher Jesus Montero didn't have his foot on the plate after an on-time throw from Brendan Ryan.
The visitors showed some life offensively late in Saturday's game prior to Kipnis's game-winning run. Following a two-run shot by Ryan in the eighth, Raul Ibanez and Justin Smoak homered in the top of the ninth to tie it up at four. It was the sixth time in seven games that Ibanez has homered. Ryan extended his hitting streak to a season-high five games and has raised his batting average from .122 to .178 during that stretch.
"It felt good to tie it up," Smoak said. "We'd been battling all day. Raul kept doing what he's been doing, and I was trying to do anything I could to get on base right there. I got one pretty good."
Joe Saunders continued to struggle away from home for Seattle and surrendered four runs on 11 hits on 5 1/3 innings.
Hernandez returns to the hill for the Mariners after leading his last start after six innings due to tightness in his back. The three-time All Star enters at 5-2 with a 1.53 ERA on the season, but he is just 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA in eight career starts at Progressive Field.
The Indians will counter King Felix with Justin Masterson, who has won two straight decisions. The 28-year old right-hander pitched a shutout versus the Yankees on Monday to improve to 6-2 on the year.
"Masty went out and did exactly what you want your ace to do," Indians manager Terry Francona said following Monday's victory. "From the very first pitch of the game, he had power, he had breaking ball, he attacked hitters. There was no wiggle room because we had one run, and he made it stand."
Cleveland is hoping to collect its 17th win in 21 games. Reynolds went 2-for-5 in the win after managing only three hits over his previous eight games.
Michael Bourn is 5-for-10 with an RBI, two stolen bases and a run scored so far in the series. Kipnis is locked in for Cleveland as well. The Tribe's second baseman is 7-for-13 with a pair of doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and a stolen base over his past three games.
The Mariners have lost four straight games in Cleveland. This is the first series of the season between these two teams. They split eight meetings in 2012.

The Texas Association of Business has an idea for how best to deliver tax relief called for by Gov. Rick Perry: Give it to businesses.
The group announced an on-line petition drive to encourage the passage of $1.8 billion in tax relief targeted at Texas small business.
Its proposal would make permanent the current $1 million exemption from the state business tax, which allows small businesses to avoid the levy entirely. It also would allow businesses to deduct their first $1 million in taxable income.
That means if a business is paying taxes on $2 million annually now, their tax bill would be cut in half, pointed out Bill Hammond, president and CEO of the group.
Hammond said the plan would provide stimulus for businesses whose taxes are cut and "rev up the job creation engine in this state."
