Prostitute bites off man's penis after he can't pay for the trick
A PROSTITUTE who bit her client's penis so hard he required an operation has denied grievous bodily harm with intent.
Prosecutor Matthew McNiff told the jury Louise Jowett carried out the attack because Brett O'Leary, from Clare, near Haverhill, told her he had no more money to give her after already paying her for sex.
Outlining the case Mr McNiff said 22-year-old Jowett, who denies the charge, had bitten and continued to bite Mr O'Leary for up to 45 seconds during the assault. The force and determination of Jowett's attack was said to have led to Mr O'Leary requiring an operation.
The court heard during the early hours of September 3 last year Mr O'Leary was in the Brownswood Road area of London cruising for a prostitute.
He pulled up by the kerb and Jowett, of Holborn, London, ran to his car. Mr McNiff said as she approached she greeted him with words to the effect of "hello, stranger." The jury was told she had known him previously, and having greeted him got into the car.
When negotiations were complete she agreed to travel with him to his home 60 miles away in Clare on condition she was paid upfront.
The court heard she used the money to purchase drugs via a telephone call while on the way. The pair arrived at Mr O'Leary's home about 2am. Jowett by this time had taken the drugs and they shared a bottle of champagne before having sex.
It was alleged that afterwards she asked Mr O'Leary for more cash, becoming more aggressive as her requests continued. While performing a sex act on Mr O'Leary he told her he did not have any more cash.
Mr McNiff said she took his penis in her mouth and gripped it between her teeth. He said: "She bit hard. She bit very hard. This caused what Mr O'Leary described as indescribable pain."
The jury heard Mr O'Leary tried to prise open Jowett's mouth with his hands while she made sounds like an animal. He pleaded with her and he begged her to let go while hitting her to try to get her off.
Mr McNiff said there was a lot of blood while Mr O'Leary screamed and then ran to call 999.
The jury heard that when interviewed by police Jowett told them she had never met Mr O'Leary before and she had acted to protect herself. She claimed he had raped her and forced her to perform a sex act on him and the only thing she could do was bite him.
The case continues at Ipswich Crown Court.
I've had too cases involving stuff like this. One was a rapist who had his just about bitten off by a "victim".
The other was a lot sadder. The guy was a rapist, but he killed the woman after she bit him. He was the son of a very wealthy family here. He's now doing life w/o parole.When I used to be somebody (I'm center top)

text: Player's Handbook 3 introduced a new option to player character races. Instead of receiving a +2 bonus to two ability scores, each race was given one constant ability bonus and a choice between two alternatives for the second bonus. That approach has been standard in all books published since then. Most of the races from previous books were updated in Heroes of the Fallen Lands and Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, leaving just a handful untouched—until now. This article extends the option to the remaining six player character races. Now all characters can adopt those racial archetypes that are thematically fitting but which previously were less attractive choices.

The Affordable Care Act: Dates Every Small Business Owner Should Know
by Meredith K. Olafson, Community Moderator
- Created: July 16, 2013, 2:03 pm
- Updated: July 16, 2013, 2:03 pm
At the U.S. Small Business Administration, we know that health is one of the top concerns for small business owners across the country. Since the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, the Obama Administration has been hard at work implementing key policies that are already helping make health care more affordable and accessible for America's small business owners--and more progress is on the way.
Many of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act are already in effect, and the bulk of new regulations designed to help Americans access affordable quality healthcare will be in place by 2015. As these policies begin to help improve America's health care market, it's important for small business owners to stay informed, get the facts, and learn more about what the Affordable Care Act means for your business.
Below is a breakdown by year of key policies in the Affordable Care Act that affect America's small businesses.
2010: The Affordable Care Act Becomes Law
- Many small businesses become eligible for new federal tax credits for eligible businesses worth up to 35% of the employer's contribution to the employees' health insurance to help them provide insurance benefits to their workers. Small non-profit organizations may receive up to a 25% credit.
- A new Patient's Bill of Rights goes into effect, protecting consumers from the worst abuses of the insurance industry.
2011: The Affordable Care Act Holds Insurance Companies Accountable
- To ensure premium dollars are spent primarily on medical care, the law's "80/20" rule requires that at least 80% of premium dollars collected by insurance companies for individuals and small employers must be spent on benefits and quality improvement.
- Another tough reform requires insurance companies to publicly justify rate increases, holding insurers accountable to the small businesses they serve, which has led to a sharp decline in double-digit rate hikes.
- To date, these two protections alone have already saved small businesses and consumers more than $2 billion.
2012: The Affordable Care Act Reduces Administrative Costs and Burdens
- Effective in October, the law institutes a series of changes to cut costs and improve care by standardizing billing and requiring health plans to begin implementing rules for the secure, confidential, electronic exchange of health information.
2013: Open Enrollment in the Marketplaces Begins
- On October 1, individuals and small businesses can buy affordable benefit plans by enrolling in the new Individual and Small Business Health Insurance Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace. For the first time, individuals and business owners are able to make side-by-side comparisons to find a plan that fits their budget and that's right for their families, businesses, and employees.
2014: The Marketplaces Open
- Individual and SHOP Marketplaces open in all 50 states and the District of Columbia on January 1.
- Tax credits for eligible small businesses participating in the SHOP Marketplace go up to 50% (35% for non-profits). Individuals and the self-employed may qualify for premium tax credits and cost sharing subsidies as well.
- Effective January 1, self-employed individuals must have health insurance that meets the minimum essential coverage standards, qualify for an exemption, or be subject to an assessable payment.
2015: Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions Take Effect
- Starting in 2015, employers with 50 employees or more full-time or full-time equivalent (FTE) employees must offer minimum essential coverage to their full-time employees or be subject to a potential Employer Shared Responsibility payment.
To learn more about how the Affordable Care Act can help small businesses provide affordable, quality healthcare to employees, visit www.healthcare.gov, or visit our SBA Healthcare Resource Center.

Haverhill High sports teams have been very successful over the past several years and have made us proud in both the classroom and on the fields.
We are equally proud that more students are participating on an annual basis and that trend has continued this fall.
There are 425 student-athletes playing a sport at Haverhill High this fall. That is up from 403 last fall and a significant increase from 362 student-athletes who participated in the fall of 2011.
Soccer, volleyball and golf teams have good start
The girls soccer, girls volleyball and golf teams are the defending Merrimack Valley Conference champions and have all gotten off to good starts.

Hillie football wins one, drops one
Coming off an 8-3 season, the football team also got off to a great start with a 21-19 victory over defending Super Bowl Champion Beverly.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) -- A Fond du Lac woman was sentenced to 14 years in prison after she pleaded no contest to trying to kill her 6-year-old daughter during her own failed suicide attempt. Twenty-six-year-old Kenna Bowe was charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide after she gave the girl 12 sleeping pills.

At A Glance: Boasting design cues from the classy, soft-but-linear Atwood Sofa and Sectional Sofa, this chair is the perfect place to sit and watch the birds at the feeder (if you don't have a bird feeder, you can lounge and wistfully watch where the birds would be if you had a feeder). Either way, you'll be comfortable. Solid wood frame with Walnut veneer supports this modern lounge chair.
What's To Like:
What's Not to Like: This lounge is on the pricey side, but you won't find a lounge of this quality for much cheaper.
The Bottom Line: With its easy-to-design around classic design and stellar materials, this lounge chair is an excellent option for the clean modern living room.

Ever since Siri burst on the scene in 2011 and started giving people advice about where to bury dead bodies, Apple afficionados have been waiting to see what will come next from the iconic smart phone.
The rumors were put to rest at a 1 p.m. Apple press conference today when the lighter, thinner iPhone 5 was unveiled to the world.
According to CNN, the new device has a four-inch retina display screen that allows for five rows of apps. The iPhone 4S has a 3.5-inch screen that shows only four rows of apps. The new phone has an improved camera and three speakers, and Facetime will be in HD.
The company's new "A6" chip means that the iPhone 5 can be twice as fast as its predecessor, CNN reported. It also has 4G LTE connectivity, which is compatible with the Verizon, AT&T and Sprint networks.
Do you have to have it? Will you wait in line at the Apple store in a sleeping bag before the launch, or do you scoff at the price and think the slavish devotion to Apple products is totally misplaced?
Take our poll and tell us what you think in the comments.

Owner of Resort Partially Swallowed by Sinkhole: We're "Open for Business"
August 13th, 2013 | WMFE - The owner of a Disney-area Clermont resort where a 100-foot sinkhole swallowed part of a building is encouraging guests with upcoming reservations to "come on down."
Summer Bay Resort President Paul Caldwell says the 24 units in the collapsed three-story villa represent only three percent of the hotel's total capacity.
"We are open for business, taking care of our guests, all of our amenities in full service," Caldwell told reporters at a press conference Tuesday.
Caldwell says engineers have examined the sinkhole that drove dozens from their rooms Sunday night, and they've determined there's no reason to believe it will grow. He says the resort underwent geological testing when it was built about 15 years ago, showing the ground to be stable.
Guests were evacuated Sunday night before the building collapsed. No one was injured.
The resort, located about ten miles west of Disney World, is taking claims from guests whose rooms were destroyed. People who were staying in the two buildings closest to the collapse are being escorted in to retrieve their possessions.

The company did not break out separate sales numbers for the two products.
Counting them together, the Cupertino company said it sold twice as many iPads as it did when it launched the third-generation iPad in March, its previous first-weekend record for tablets.

This Week in Panels: Week 232March 4th, 2014 Posted by Gavok
It's a super-late edition of This Week in Panels, brought to you by me being stuck on the phone/chatting with customer support people for the past few days because practically every piece of technology I touch has a tendency to not work. But hey, at least I have the WWE Network working now and that's a good time.
Elsewhere, at Den of Geek US I was asked to post some preview pages for the upcoming Deadpool vs. Carnage miniseries. I went a little bit further by writing up a Tale of the Tape between the two. Also, I have a comprehensive guide to the death and return of CHIKARA Pro Wrestling.
But really, I barely wrote anything last week due to the WWE Network. By God, it's great.
Helping me out this week are Matlock, Gaijin Dan and Space Jawa. Jawa's panels reminded me that I totally forgot to read that Utrom miniseries going on with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Lower Merion Township's last report on Thursday had about 2,600 buildings still without electricity from Hurricane Sandy's destruction earlier in the week. That amounts to more than 10 percent of the township.
Since the storm hit, Patch readers who've lost power have conveyed their experiences in comments on articles and emails to editors. Read theirs here, and add yours in the comments section.
Jamie Moss, Penn Valley resident and Prudential Realtor with clients throughout the Main Line, sent this to Patch about 12:45 Thursday:
My week without power has been extremely challenging due to the fact I have an elderly dog. Monday all was fine, we heard the wind and watched the rain. Monday about 2 a.m. the power went out. Now being a nervous single woman living alone who sometimes freaks at these things, I was prepared with 4 lanterns and 4 flashlights and candles. I have only lost power once before for about 24 hours..so I figured this was the same. I called PECO and did not get any type of estimated time on Tuesday. I went about my business at home, the house started to get colder. My internet addiction totally came to the surface as I scrambled to keep my laptop, iPad and iPhone charged. Luckily I have family in the neighborhood so I could shower and hang out and have a meal. Sleeping has been very challenging, no matter how many blankets my body doesn't seem to relax when I know something is wrong.
Driving in and out of streets has been a nightmare too, downed trees and wires makes navigating difficult.
I checked PECO's website and it has said the same thing: 11 p.m. on Friday. When I called (Thursday) a nice man told me the same thing. I did just start seeing more trucks yesterday and as I drive up my street I always hope i'll see a light. I feel badly for my dog, I even sent her to the vet yesterday for the day. She is diabetic and 90% blind so I can't just take her anywhere. I did call the Marriott Residence Inn and they will take dogs but for $325. A little too steep. So I have also spent a lot of time at my office where it's warm and I can be with my friends.. and I even sold a condo!
Hopefully this will all be over and we will be on to the holidays!
(Note: Jamie had her power restored a few hours later, mid-Thursday afternoon.)
We also heard from Lisa Dobbin Prosnitz, another Penn Valley resident, about 1 p.m. Thursday:
Lost power for a bit on Sunday but they restored it that afternoon. Lost again Monday morning at the start of the storm. Don't know why it went out. Lots of downed wires.
Using PECO website for info. Their times keep changing from 11 p.m. Nov. 1 to Nov. 2 at 11 p.m. and I just looked now and it says 4 p.m. today! Let's hope.
Lights flickered on in the middle of the night last night but they didn't stay. I know PECO is working hard. Lots of my friends have had power restored. Just patiently waiting!
It's definitely not fun—house is cold. My daughter now has a nasty cold. We spent one night at a cousin's house, but that wasn't easy either. Just threw away about $1,000 worth of groceries in the fridge and my two freezers. Left cookies for the refuse team since there were so many bags!
No power is a hardship, but I am grateful that the four huge trees surrounding my house didn't fall and that we only lost one small tree in front. Thankful we have a home and wonderful friends and family who have been so generous. If power doesn't come on at 4 p.m. today, will possibly go to a hotel.
Knowing that the power will come back on helps too. We could have had it a lot worse.
All this has likely encouraged me to shell out money for a generator. At least for our sump pump, fridge, freezer and heat/AC!
(Note: Lisa's power came back on Thursday evening.)
A Bryn Mawr resident who did not want to be named gave the following account about 1:30 p.m. Thursday:
Power out around 9 on Monday night. If I call PECO and put in my #, I get a generic message. If I log on to their website, it says 11 p.m. on Friday. Right now, my dogs are at my parents' house. I don't want to advertise that we are not at home, but ... We stayed at home until last night when we stayed at a hotel. We have been lucky to have many kind friends offer us beds and showers! I am at a friend's house now letting the kids play and recharging devices. I will have to go home this afternoon to empty the contents of my fridge and freezer before trash pickup on Friday.
About 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Patch commenter Barbara Shaw checked in:
Country Lane in Narberth is still without power. Getting cold inside.
Another commenter using the handle "R Shade" added about 12:30 p.m. Thursday:
River Road is still without power.
About 2:50 p.m. Thursday, a commenter going by "L Davis" reported on another neighborhood:
Houses on portions of Greythorne, Knox and Argyle Rds in Wynnewood are still without power. PECO website is showing Nov. 3rd (11pm) as the date for restoring power for this area. (Yesterday they were forecasting Nov. 2nd.) Too cold and dark for another night. Have moved to hotel.
What power problems have you experienced because of Hurricane Sandy? How have your dealings with PECO been? What have you been doing to cope with the outage? Tell us in the comments section below.

From Wire and
Staff Reports
---- — Two months after state House Speaker Robert DeLeo promised a task force to review state gun control laws and propose solutions for reducing gun violence in Massachusetts, the panel has yet to be formed or begin its work.
Organizing for Action, a nonprofit organized to support President Barack Obama's agenda, plans to host a rally on Friday on the State House steps as part of a national day of action calling on Congress to adopt the president's proposals, including universal background checks for gun purchases. Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz and other elected officials plan to attend, according to the Action group.
But while efforts to address gun violence at the national level continue to simmer, momentum behind calls for updating state gun laws have slowed.
In a speech to House members during the first week of January, DeLeo put gun control firmly on the House's agenda for the coming year, telling colleagues that he was "shaken" by the school shootings in Newtown, Conn.
"I want to bring together members of our House and outside experts to study the dangerous intersection of guns and mental illness in schools and throughout society," DeLeo said at the time, announcing the appointment of Northeastern University Associate Dean Jack McDevitt to lead the task force.
Over the ensuing weeks, however, DeLeo has yet to round out the membership of the gun panel while other states have acted to pass new laws and Vice President Joe Biden led a similar task force for the Obama administration and presented new gun control recommendations to Congress.
Seth Gitell, a spokesman for DeLeo, said the Speaker planned an announcement about the task force "very, very soon."
"The invitations have gone out. A number of people have accepted and we're waiting on others," Gitell said.
Gloucester, ME initiatives
The delays in any gun law movements on the state level come as local communities are exploring other safety reactions in the wake of the Newtown shootings, especially when it comes to schools.
Officials in the Manchester Essex Regional School District, for example, are exploring the idea of developing a school resource officer programs that would not only provide some increase in school security, but also given students a chance to better interact with police officers in the two towns' schools.
In Gloucester, meanwhile, parent Amanda Kesterson, who has led a petition drive generating signatures aimed at placing armed security guards in all city schools has been granted a hearing on the proposal by the city's School Committee, with the hearing still tentative but expected to be held March 13. While many city and school officials, including Superintendent of Schools Richard Safier, oppose the idea — and estimates indicate that a full initiative of adding security personnel at each of the city's five elementary schools, and on the middle and high school level would fall between top $500,000 and $600,000, the School Committee voted 4-2 last week to give Kesterson and her fellow petitioners the hearing they had sought as a forum to air their concerns.
Mental health records
In Boston, state Rep. David Linsky, D-Natick, has taken the lead on the issue of gun control in the House, proposing a comprehensive bill that would require gun license applicants to disclose their mental health histories, prohibit assault weapons from being stored in homes, ban high-capacity ammunition magazines, and require gun owners to purchase liability insurance.
Gov. Deval Patrick and other lawmakers, including Sen. Cynthia Creem, have also filed similar bills awaiting assignment to committees and public hearings. Patrick, who has offered and refiled gun control proposals, said last year that members of the Legislature appear sensitive to the concerns of the Gun Owners Action League.
Linsky previously said he expected to work to incorporate the work and recommendations of DeLeo's task force into any final bill before it gets voted on in the House.

"We've nurtured the creative arts at Goldsmiths for years, but the work we do here is not just artistic; we're also heavily involved in the social sciences and technology, and those disciplines interact with eachother brilliantly and mean that our students can apply creativity to real-life problems.
You often have students who are amazing musicians, but also great computer programmers. In other institutions they may have felt forced into making a choice between these two things; here you can be a performer but also work on high-end computing work. We're always thinking how we can give our students the skills to get maximum advantage from their own ideas.
Regardless of what course you study, you'll find that Goldsmiths has a particular kind of creative energy that informs everything we do. This isn't something that the institution has willed into existence itself, nor is it down to an act of strategic planning, but I think there are some things about Goldsmiths that create this energy, and the main one is our location.
Being away from the centre of London is useful – I think it suits the artistic temperament. I've never known an artist who wasn't some kind of outsider, so I think there is something about not being in a leafy urban square in central London that is useful, and encourages our students to innovate, regardless of their discipline."
From the moment you enrol you'll be part of a powerful legacy of learning. We've a rich academic history, but we're also known for our creative approach.
At Goldsmiths you'll look at subjects differently. We take an interdisciplinary approach to all our degree courses, which means you won't find our subjects prescriptive and you won't find our teaching dull either.
You'll be taught by and will debate with the best in the field: the people who write the books that appear on reading lists across the country. Our academics carry out pioneering research in areas as diverse as infant recognition and the anthropology of gambling.
With 1,400 students currently accessing work placements, and interdisciplinary programmes that reflect and respond to contemporary concerns and current practice, from the moment you join us we'll be helping you shape your career.
We are small but mighty – a close-knit community that comes from every corner of the world, which makes for a diverse learning experience (and plenty of stimulating conversation). We're based on a single-site campus within London's vibrant New Cross, but we're also just minutes from the heart of this great global city, home to major cultural landmarks including the National Theatre and Tate Modern.
At Goldsmiths you can be whoever who you want to be. We nurture individual talent, providing a safe and supportive environment to grow academically and personally. Our former students reflect Goldsmiths' brand of magic across the world, and are shaping the socio-cultural landscape on a global scale.
Our alumni have reached the top of their professions and have the trophy cabinets to prove it. Among our former students are 7 winners of the Turner Prize and recipients of Ivor Novellos, Emmys, BAFTAs, Olympic medals and Mercury prizes. Not forgetting an Academy Award.
