The process to end Britney Spears' conservatorship has officially started, according to TMZ:

We know there have been several lengthy meetings recently between the lawyers and the court commissioner in the commissioner's chambers.
Jamie and the lawyers will not make the decision to end the conservatorship. They will weigh in, but the person with all the influence is the "capacity expert" -- a psychiatrist who was appointed by the court. The capacity expert will do a thorough evaluation and submit it to the commissioner.
We're told one of the fears Jamie has ... Sam Lutfi, a guy Jamie thinks is still a threat to Britney if she allows him back in her life. He's got that right.
There are actually two conservatorships -- one over Britney, the person, and the other over Britney's business affairs. We're told the business conservatorship will likely continue. The issue on the table is whether to end the conservatorship over Britney, the person.

I wonder how Britney will spend her first day of freedom. I'm torn between sitting naked in an Arby's eating her weight in roast beef sandwiches or using Sean and Jayden as boxing gloves to fight stray coyotes. Man, this is tough....

Britney Spears' Conservatorship Coming To An End? - Post Chronicle

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 08:03 AM PST

Britney Spears, the 28-year-old singer's father Jamie Spears – who was made co-conservator of her personal and professional affairs after her public breakdown in 2008 - has met with lawyers and wants a judge to review the conditions of the agreement now Britney's 'Circus' tour has ended.

According to gossip website TMZ, there have been "several lengthy meetings recently between the lawyers and the court commissioner in the commissioner's chambers".

Although they've met with the judge, Jamie and Britney's lawyers cannot decide whether or not the conservatorship ends.

Instead, a "capacity expert" – a court-appointed psychiatrist – will evaluate Britney and submit his results to the court commissioner.

While Britney could soon be in control of her personal life, her business interests are likely to be protected for longer.

TMZ reported: "There are actually two conservatorships - one over Britney, the person, and the other over Britney's business affairs. We're told the business conservatorship will likely continue. The issue on the table is whether to end the conservatorship over Britney, the person. Again, no decisions have been made, but it's all moving in that direction." (c) BANG

Happy 28th Birthday, Britney Spears! - The Hollywood Gossip

Posted: 01 Dec 2009 03:57 PM PST

Miss Britney Jean Spears turns 28 today - and we couldn't be happier.

She's been entertaining us for more than a decade now, and while there were some dark years in there, the pop princess is back and better than ever.

Not only does she continue to crank out hits and cement her place as one of the most successful recording artists of all time, she seems quite content.

With a strong new man in Jason Trawick (recent rumors aside), and two adorable young sons, it's good to be Britney Spears. We're lucky to have her.

Britney and Jayden James share one of those tender moments.

We just hope Kevin Federline remembers to send his ex-wife a card. His current girlfriend, Victoria Prince, also celebrates her birthday today (she's 27). Irony.

Straightpoint, Inc. Opens in U.S. to Offer Load Monitoring Technology - Newswiretoday.com

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 10:51 PM PST

Straightpoint (UK) Ltd., the load monitoring and crane scale manufacturer, has seen its export sales double from 25 to 50 percent over the past six years. To further support its Western Hemisphere business, Straightpoint has set up an additional office, Straightpoint, Inc., in California.

The new U.S. office will offer distribution, calibration and testing of the entire range of Straightpoint industrial-weighing and load-monitoring products supplied and manufactured at the UK facility. The primary focus will be on the oil, gas, aerospace and shipping industries, plus other business sectors requiring heavy load-monitoring equipment. The first of a number of planned regional distribution companies is in Texas.

"We're delighted to offer support for our products and services in the Western Hemisphere," said David Ayling, Managing Director of Straightpoint (UK) Ltd. We are pleased to have weighing specialists in the U.S. with more than 60 years of experience across the management team."

Richard Sharpe, Director of Straightpoint, Inc., said, "Straightpoint (UK) Ltd. recognized the potential for the product range in the Western Hemisphere, and we are very excited that our team in the States is now building the basis of a strong distribution network."

Although the recession has adversely affected UK companies that import goods, it has greatly benefited firms that export. Straightpoint (UK) Ltd. has expanded its export channels and developed a worldwide network of dealers.

In addition to the favorable exchange rate for UK products, Ayling attributes the Straightpoint global success to the company's principle of providing the best possible service for customers—whether supplying custom-built machinery to go to Germany, equipment for the Britney Spears concert lighting rig, or items to test crowd control barriers. The company will apply the same standards to service from the U.S. office.

Straightpoint (UK) Ltd. is a world leader in the design and manufacture of force measurement, load monitoring and suspended weighing load cells up to a capacity of 1,000 tonnes. Straightpoint provides equipment to lifting and weighing companies globally.
