BofA's Blunder Will 'Cloud' Stock Price, Analysts Say
Bank of America Corp.'s about-face on its capital plans has prompted analysts to cast a skeptical eye toward the stock price over the short-term.
The Charlotte, N.C. bank announced Monday that it suspended its stock buyback and plans for a dividend increase after discovering a mathematical error when determining some key capital levels. Bank of America said the Federal Reserve asked officials to put its capital plan on hold after the mistake was discovered.
"We believe the combination of reputational damage, upward pressure on expenses and potentially more conservative capital return request in 2015 will cloud Bank of America's share price performance for the next few months," says Matthew Burnell, senior analyst at Wells Fargo Securities.
Mr. Burnell, who has a market perform rating on Bank of America, said he doesn't anticipate the error will have an overly material impact on the company's bottom line. But he added the stock price will likely suffer more weakness in the weeks, and perhaps months, ahead.
Shares fell as much as 5.6% to $15.06 Monday. The stock is up more than 20% over the past 12 months.
BofA said the issue disclosed Monday is related to securities known as structured notes issued by Merrill Lynch & Co. before the firm agreed to be acquired by Bank of America in 2008. The company said it would review its financial accounts and expects to submit a capital action plan to the Fed that's less generous than the previously announced 2014 plan.
Mr. Burnell said BofA could follow a similar trajectory to the one that BB&T suffered in March 2013 when the Fed rejected its capital plans. Shares of the Winston-Salem N.C. bank slumped 7.8% over a five-week time frame before bottoming at the end of April. More than two months passed before the stock recovered those losses.
Bank of America said the change has no impact on its previously announced financial statements.
"While this circumstance does not necessarily alter capital return as a component of the longer term thesis on this stock, it does undermine this driver in the near term," said Eric Wasserstrom, an analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.
He maintained a neutral rating and $17 price target on the stock, as financial costs related to legal settlements and a lower capital plan will likely keep a lid on the share price.

A new clinical study from the University of Connecticut has removed much of the doubt that recovery from autism is a real phenomenon.
Still, the University of Connecticut researchers say it remains a mystery why certain children recover and what treatments cured them.
The study authors caution that the recovery is not full.
The researchers conclude that the study confirms:
-- Losing the Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis is "a possibility for a minority of children."
-- The best recovery is associated with better "cognitive functioning" -- attention and memory -- and somewhat milder initial symptoms.
-- "Residual difficulties with language, attention, executive or emotional functioning may persist."
The study abstract and text are online at http://bit.ly/Yl3Lve.

MORAGA -- Center Brad Waldow became an Internet sensation last March for a video clip that had little to do with his strong play for the Saint Mary's College men's basketball team.
The Gaels were in a tight contest with San Diego during the West Coast Conference tournament in Las Vegas when Waldow took an elbow to the mouth while going for a rebound, knocking out one of his front teeth.
The 6-foot-9 center bolted to the bench where the television cameras caught Randy Bennett's hilarious reaction when Waldow tried to hand his head coach the tooth and stay in the game.
Waldow is again making a name for himself in the early part of this season, but this time it has everything to do with his play on the court.
During the Gaels' impressive 5-0 start, the junior leads the team in scoring and rebounding. He scored a career-high 28 points in the season-opener against Louisiana Tech then tallied a double-double to go along with five blocks in Saint Mary's closest game so far, a 67-63 win over Drake on Nov. 16.
"I've just felt a lot more comfortable out there and as a team we are jelling," said Waldow, who is averaging 17.5 points and 7.6 rebounds.
One of just two remaining starters from last season's NCAA tournament squad, Waldow has scored in double figures in each of the Gaels' five wins.
He performed well during Saint Mary's summer tour to Australia, and the confidence he gained during that stretch playing against grown men carried over to this season.
"He's surprised me a little bit," Bennett said. "I thought he improved. I didn't realize he improved this much.
"For me, without a doubt, he's made a significant jump."
Waldow had one of the highest field goal percentages in the WCC last year, thanks in part to point guard Matthew Dellavedova. Considered one of the Gaels' all-time greats, Dellavedova, who is now with the Cleveland Cavaliers, made life easier for Waldow, putting the ball right where he wanted it.
"Off the pick-and-roll he'd just throw it right at the basket and I could just make an easy three-foot shot," Waldow said. "I had to work on my game a lot during the summer -- on post moves 8-10 feet off the basket and creating my own shots."
He also worked to get "in the best shape of my life," knowing he'd be counted on to play more minutes.
When Bennett recruited Waldow out of Ponderosa High in Shingle Springs, he didn't see a future star.
"I thought he was a body that was hard to get and we needed one of those in our program at the time," Bennett said. "I didn't know he'd turn in to a scorer like he has."
Waldow redshirted as a true freshman, then grabbed hold of a starting role about 10 games into his redshirt freshman campaign. He's been a fixture in the lineup ever since.
It's fitting that Waldow is known around the college basketball world for the entertaining tooth incident. Not only is he tough -- he finished the San Diego game before heading to a late-night dentist appointment to reinsert his tooth -- he's also one of the biggest characters on the team.
"Just look at his outfits," Bennett said. "He's just a carefree, fun guy. He's not afraid to be goofy, he's not afraid to put himself out there. He doesn't have a cool jacket on."
And these days you probably won't catch him without a mouth guard on, either.
"Last week I cracked (the tooth) again in practice, but not nearly as bad," Waldow said. "Coach Bennett says I can't come on the floor without a mouthpiece now."

If you follow pizza, you might know that Great Lake in Chicago is ranked right up there with the best of the best nationwide. The place, though, is small and the wait for a table is notoriously long. This summer, though, the pizzeria will replace its outdoor tables with benches and start serving Sicilian-style pizza to-go to munch on there, according to Tasting Table. Grub Street Chicago's Nick Kindelsperger speculates that this may allay some of the grumbling on the part of line-waiters.

The community is invited to the Avon Public Library for an author presentation featuring Andrew McCarthy - actor, travel journalist and an editor-at-large at National Geographic Traveler - on Monday at 6 p.m. McCarthy will discuss his recent book, a New York Times Best Seller, "The Longest Way Home: One Man's Quest for the Courage to Settle Down."
In "The Longest Way Home," McCarthy takes readers on a deeply personal journey played out amid some of the world's most evocative locales. Unable to commit to his fiancee of nearly four years - and with no clear understanding of what's holding him back - McCarthy finds himself at a crossroads, plagued by doubts that have clung to him for a lifetime. Something in his character has kept him always at a distance, preventing him from giving himself wholeheartedly to the woman he loves and from becoming the father that he knows his children deserve. So before he loses everything he cares about, Andrew sets out to look for answers.
Booklist said "This is not some memoir written by an actor who fancies himself a world traveler. McCarthy really is a world traveler - and a damned fine writer, too...To readers who think, 'Andrew McCarthy? Really?' the answer is a resounding and emphatic yes. Really."
Named the Society of American Travel Writers 2010 "Travel Journalist of the Year," McCarthy is best known as an actor, starring in the iconic films "Pretty in Pink," "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Less Than Zero." The Bookworm of Edwards will be on hand to sell books at this event, and McCarthy will sign books.
This program is free and open to the public. Reservations are recommended but not required. Call the Avon Public Library for information at 970-949-6797.

27 New Blazer Button Styles
Britex Fabrics' online store just received 27 new styles of blazer buttons. These are from an American company that has been in business since 1812…or 200 years! These stamped metal buttons are crafted with fine engraving tools to make individual dies, and are made to order. This American company even has a smudge of Hollywood glamour; they manufactured the buttons for the crew members in the movie, Titanic. These high quality metal blazer buttons come in a multitude of finishes, including matte silver, antique silver, gunmetal, brass (gold), and antique gold. Our favorite is the one that is embossed with the USS Constitution, AKA "Old Ironsides", which was launched in 1797 and is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat.

"Convincingly demonstrated favourable effects on overall survival (OS) are from both a clinical and methodological perspective, the most persuasive outcome of a clinical trial", the London-based Agency writes in its new guidelines that will come into force this July. However, prolonged progression-free or disease-free survival will be, in most cases, be considered relevant measures of patients benefit, but the magnitude of the treatment effect has to be sufficiently large to outbalance toxicity and tolerability problems.
Alongside conventional aims such as defining the proper doses and schedule for a medicine, the guideline highlights the importance of identifying the target population during the development. With regard to the co-development of stratification biomarkers, personalised medicine has become reality. The new guidance document covers the use of biomarkers as an integrated part of drug development. This means that in most cases, hypotheses are to be tested and confirmed with appropriate candidate biomarkers through all phases of clinical development. In cancer indication the Agency sees a substantial need for biomarker tests whereas in other indications they might be more "informative".
Confirmation trials should demonstrate that the investigational product provides clinical benefit. From both a clinical and a methodological perspective, the most persuasive outcome of a clinical trial is the demonstration of favourable effects on overall survival. Prolonged progression-free survival and disease-free survival are also considered to be of benefit to the patient. The guideline describes how to select the appropriate endpoints for confirmation studies.
Two appendixes complement the guideline, to address methodological considerations for using progression-free survival in confirmatory trials, and to provide condition specific guidance for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), prostate cancer, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), myelodysplastic syndromes, and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this, as it is driving me mad.
Some of the photos and home videos I shoot with my iPhone or iPad are shown upside when viewed with PMS on my Playstation. Everything is the right way up when I use QuickTime player on my iMac, but when I try with VLC they are upside down again.
I have tried searching the internet for an answer, and I have discovered that Apple uses an exif tag in its software so the programmes show everything correctly. I was wondering if PMS has a similar plug-in or setting I have missed so it too can show things the right way up when sent across my network to my PlayStation or TV.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

In yet another setback to the implementation of the British Conservatives party's free school policy, the leader of their Liberal Democrat coalition partners, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, declared recently that entry requirements would not be relaxed to accommodate for-profit development. His concerns arise from scepticism that organisations motivated by maximising the benefit to their investors can possibly have a contribution to make to improving social mobility.
While apparently convinced of the free school effect, and prepared – sensibly – to concede that there is nothing intrinsic to the business framework that precludes a commitment to quality, Clegg suggested that admitting profit would only further skew implementation of the policy to the benefit of the middle classes.
Doing away with the requirement that new school proposals should be parent initiated and led, and allowing businesses to make the running, would only accentuate a tendency he claimed was already evident – for providers to cater only for relatively well-off communities, so avoiding the additional costs and risks associated with overcoming socio-economic disadvantage.
Clegg may be right that – in a system where the level of funding is prescribed by government, caps are placed on surpluses, and there is no scope for providers to evolve high-end models and charge top-up fees – then intervention to prioritise resources to the neediest areas, and application of a pupil premium-style incentive may be necessary. He is wrong, though, to suggest that profit-making and a commitment to creating opportunities for the disadvantaged are fundamentally incompatible.

Growing up just north of New York City, Susan Weiss would see garbage along the sides of the road so often it became commonplace.
That's what inspired Weiss, who has lived in Eagle-Vail for the last 15 years, to get involved with the Community Pride Highway Cleanup, an event put on by the Eagle Valley Watershed Council every spring.
"I'm glad we don't have to live with that as the norm," she said. "The opposite is true here. If you see just a little bit of garbage, it will stand out."
But with around 150 miles of highways in our small valley, it takes a lot of help to keep the sides of the roads clean.
That's why the Eagle Valley Watershed Council wants you to join the hundreds of volunteers already scheduled to participate in the 13th annual Community Pride Highway Cleanup on Saturday.
"Through Vail Resorts Echo, we want to illustrate our commitment to the community and the environment that surround our resort by supporting critical programs like the I-70 highway cleanup," said Nicky DeFord with Vail Resorts Echo, the presenting sponsor for the event. "More than 100 of our employees participate."
They join the nearly 1,000 other volunteers who take to the highways in bright orange vests. They're hard to miss and if you drive past them, you just may feel compelled to stop, and you should. Just seek out the team leader for that section of road and they'll get you squared away.
"We have strong leaders who have been cleaning the same sections for years," said event organizer Elena Jones with the Watershed Council. "I'm amazed by the great energy this year," she said. "We've had people come out of the woodwork to volunteer."
Expanded territory
Tanya Warmenhoven is one volunteer who has been attending the highway cleanup for years.
"We've done various mile markers throughout the valley," Warmenhoven said. "But right now we have a mile marker that's designated in Eagle. ... One of our co-workers' child had passed away in an accident and I thought this would be a great gathering for the group in our office to get together and do this two-mile section every year."
They call it "Miles for Miles" after Miles Franklin May, of Gypsum, who passed away in 2008. He was 6 years old.
"It's a great little thing to do for the community, and it gets everybody together at our office, as well," Warmenhoven said.
Warmenhoven also said the event is a nice way to get some fresh air and a little cardio.
"They do it in two-mile stretches, so you get a few people together and you at least get a mile of picking up trash on the road, so it's great exercise. ... It's usually a pretty nice weekend when we do it."
If you want to volunteer, you'll need to form a team like Miles for Miles or join an already existing one. Call or email Jones and she'll help you form or find a team.
Teams can request an assignment in a general area, but many teams "own" their section of the highway, having cleaned it for 10 or more years.
Cleaning takes place along I-70, Highways 6, 24 and 131 in Eagle County from Vail Pass and Red Cliff to Dotsero.
"In the past ERWC has tackled 121 miles of the valley's main roads," said Melissa Macdonald, Eagle River Watershed Council's executive director. "This year we are expanding to include cleanups in the neighborhood of Eagle-Vail and the town of Eagle. Vail Honeywagon and CDOT, who donate their crews and trucks to pick up all those orange bags, will be even busier this year."
Indeed, Jones recently took the time to count the miles being cleaned this year and said it's right around 150.
For kids, too
If you want to get your family involved, you may be a little nervous about having your youngsters out near the highways.
That's understandable, said Weiss, which is why she's inviting you and your kids to join her group.
"You can't be on I-70 with little kids," Weiss said. "We do the Minturn Ranger Station, which is a safer area for families with little kids. It's away from the highway."
Weiss said over the last few years her Minturn Ranger Station group has turned into the unofficial kids headquarters of the highway cleanup.
"I wanted to get a group of families together with small children because it's important to get them involved at a young age, and they'll always remember they were a part of it," said Weiss. "Most of the families end up coming back for four or five years."
And for kids, the difference between trash and treasure isn't as well defined as it may be for their parents. Last year, sixth-grader Robbie Gruber found a used snowboard while he was cleaning up. The bindings were made of old coat hangers, but for him, it was a treasure nonetheless.
And that's not all.
"Somebody always finds bones," Weiss said. "And you always wonder what happened to the animal."
Anyone is invited to join Weiss' group. The best way to get involved is to contact Jones and the Watershed Council ahead of time, but you're also welcome to simply show up at the Ranger Station on Saturday. Weiss said they start the day with a safety talk and a liability form for the parents, and then the fun part begins.
"You never know what the weather's going to be like, so we always have hot cocoa and doughnuts," she said. "We use the back of my car as a little station to take a break."
But the best part, said Weiss, is the new level of responsibility in the environment that the kids leave with.
"When the kids feel connected, they really get a sense of pride from it," she said. "They get right there and start cleaning up, and then it's off to the barbecue, which is the really fun part."
Celebrate after work is done
The barbecue and after-party will be hosted by Vail Resorts Echo at Arrowhead's Broken Arrow Restaurant. Held from noon to 2 p.m., the free party include live music from local band Derringer, beer from Crazy Mountain Brewery, prizes and a barbecue lunch prepared by the dedicated members of the Arrowhead Alpine Club.
But in addition to the after party, fresh air, sun, exercise, after party, general good feeling you get from community service, and the fact you're spending quality time with family, friends or coworkers, there's also another reason to get involved. In 2011, nearly 800 individuals collected more than 38,000 pounds of trash.
"I feel really good about seeing all the bags on the side of the road," said Warmenhoven.

Ladies, today we learned that finding a man ain't always easy. Especially if he is a man who won't ever admit that he is gay! If only there was some fool proof way, some kind of test to put to your perspective man-in-waiting to decipher his sexuality. Fortunately for us, one commenter is a scientist.
From robbiebobo:
Hey Single Ladies! Wondering if that boy who just can't seem to catch your hints is looking to be another sort of catcher?
Here's a helpful quiz to help you sort it out.
1. Does he love musicals? Do you sometimes catch him singing them or crying to himself saying "Elpheba?"
2. Does he watch football, drink beer, and have difficulty opening up emotionally?
3. Does he want to have sex with other men?
If you answered yes to number 3, time to move on, gurrl!
(The other two don't actually matter.)
Well there you have it! If the sight of your 'gina is loathsome to your man, well, I'd say that's a deal breakah!

Tonight AMC will be premiering "Halloween: H20" in which Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role as Laurie Strode. The film is interesting in the sense that the storyline ignores movies 3 - 6 in the series and is considered a direct sequel to Halloween and Halloween 2. This time, it's 20 years later and Laurie has faked her own death to escape her psychotic brother.

Lytton signs to play at Central Conn.
One of the Naugatuck Valley League's best running backs in recent years, Torrington's Brenden Lytton, has signed to play football at Central Connecticut State University in the fall.
Lytton, who attended a semester of prep school at Milford Academy last fall, enrolled for the second semester in New Britain in January. Lytton was one of 16 players to sign with the Blue Devils and one of 13 local players who signed national letters of intent Wednesday.
Another 11 with ties to the area will be playing at the Division III level.
At Milford Academy, Lytton rushed for 461 yards and five touchdowns in 2012.
Rushing for 2,333 yards and 29 touchdowns as a senior in 2011 at Torrington, Lytton earned All-State honors for the second year. In 2010, he set a state single-game record with nine touchdowns in a 61-28 win over Wilby and finished with 2,353 yards.
"Brenden meets the mission statement we're looking for," said Central coach Jeff McInerney, who wants to keep Connecticut players in state. "We think he he defi-

nitely fits into our league and feel he will have much success. He's a hard worker and explosive. We're fortunate to have him and we're counting on him."
Meanwhile, Middlebury's Kellen Croce, who transferred from Pomperaug High to The Gunnery two years
See CROCE, Page 5C
ago, made his toughes decision: baseball or football? Croce, a left-handed pitcher, decided to play football at the University of Maine.
"The whole summer, I did the baseball thing," said Croce. "Baseball has always been up there, but football is my calling. As soon as I got up to the Maine campus on Jan. 18, I fell in love with the school. The college set the standard for what I wanted, which was a family feel. I could see myself living there for the next five years."
Croce, 18, of Middlebury, will have to work his way up the ladder, competing with a redshirt senior and a redshirt freshman for the job of quarterback.
"That will motivate me even more to get on the field, sooner than later," said Croce.
Taft wide receiver David Berment, of Dorchester, Mass., is headed to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield. Offensive lineman Andrew Kalach of Watertown will be a walk-on with the Pioneers.
One of the state's top recruits, Ansonia wide receiver Andrew Matos, signed with the University of Rhode Island. Matos helped lead the Chargers to consecutive undefeated seasons and two state titles.
"URI is a really good fit for Andrew," said Ansonia coach Tom Brockett.
Also from the NVL, Holy Cross center George Smith signed with Division I-A Bryant University, which plays in the Northeast Conference with such teams as Central Connecticut and Sacred Heart. Smith helped the Crusaders to the 2011 Class S state title.
The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Smith, of Thomaston, had considered being a walk-on with Central and SHU until Bryant came with an offer in December.
"I'm going in to be a backup to a senior in the first year, with a chance to work my way up to play for a starting spot as a sophomore," said Smith. "The biggest jump (to college) will be to improve my quickness. If I can get bigger and quicker, I have a better chance of succeeding up there. I'm going up to watch the spring game. I'll get the workout schedule and I'll be assigned my jersey number. I'm looking forward to getting started."
Defensive lineman Marty Moesta of Hotchkiss in Lakeville is headed to Yale. Other Hotchkiss players headed to college are defensive back P.J. Dorsey (Trinity College) and offensive lineman Tom Gregory (Tufts University).
Several other area prep school players are headed to college, including Taft linebacker Adam Parker, who signed with Rhode Island, and cornerback O'Shea Bell, who signed with Division II Stonehill.
Other Taft players headed to Division III schools are quarterback Tim Drakeley of Woodbury (Bowdoin), safety-quarterback Nick LaSpada (Bates) linebacker David Wolff (Rochester) and defensive end Bulolo Jonga (Middlebury).
"We had a fantastic group of seniors," said Taft coach Tyler Whitley.
Cheshire Academy linebacker Cory Jasudowich is one of the UConn recruits while two of his teammates, defensive lineman Jeff Biestek and free safety Sam Russell, are headed to Brown.
Other Cats signings are tight end Kalief Joyner, with Albany, and strong safety Tommy Bodolus, with Bucknell.
At New Milford's Canterbury School, linebacker Garrett Dolly signed to play at Temple. Others headed to college are offensive lineman Pierre DuBois (Kenyon), wide receiver Ryan Moore (Southern Connecticut) and running back Donavon Jackson (Clarion).
Pomperaug offensive lineman Corey Baker is headed to Western New England.

Poe visitor comes nevermore, yet mystery lingers
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 2:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 2:15 p.m.
BALTIMORE — Every year, for decades, a mysterious man in black left three roses and an unfinished bottle of cognac at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe on the author's birthday.
The Baltimore tradition ended in 2009, just as mysteriously, when the visitor failed to appear.
Ahead of Poe's 204th birthday Saturday, the person who has overseen an annual cemetery vigil since the 1970s talked about the story behind it.
Baltimore native Jeff Jerome knows plenty about Poe and his grave. He knows secret signs the mystery man made to verify he was the genuine Poe Toaster. But Jerome claims not to know the visitor's identity.
Jerome said last year he would nevermore hold his cemetery vigil, but now he says he may pull one more all-nighter there — just in case.

It is that time of year again, and the Salvation Army bell ringers can be seen in front of major stores and other locations with their familiar red kettles to seek donations.
"All donations stay in the local area," said Envoy Donna Griffin.
To dispel rumors of a scam, Griffin said all Salvation Army red kettles have the Salvation Army logo on the top, and volunteers were Salvation Army badges. She said the local organization is working on identification badges for volunteers.
She said donations are used throughout the year to support Salvation Army programs and to purchase certain food items for holiday baskets.
"The rumors are out there," she said.
She said local volunteers do not go door-to-door for donations.
Griffin said volunteers are still needed, as well as toys.
To volunteer, call the Salvation Army at (760) 375-7219.
There will be a Fill the Truck toy drive Dec. 8 in front of Walmart.
The tradition of the red kettles dates back to December 1891 when the Salvation Army captain in San Francisco wanted to provide a free Christmas dinner to the area's poor. While figuring out how to pay for the food, he remembered his days as a sailor in Liverpool, England. He saw a large pot into which passersby threw in donations.
He secured permission from the authorities to place a similar pot at the Oakland ferry landing at the foot of Market Street.
Since then, the tradition has spread throughout the United States and the world.

Comments about SMC On Your Toes Bamboo:
I chose this for socks for someone who can't wear wool and I didn't want to use acrylic for the summer. It's lovely to work with and 'though I thought it might split, I didn't find it difficult to knit. Be sure to wash and dry your tension swatch as it stretches in width so my 60 stitch sock will now be a 50 or 52 stitch sock. Other than that, I want more of it in other colours !!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Knits up nicely
By Mia
from Louisville, Kentucky
I used this yarn to knit a pair of socks. I enjoy the feel of the yarn, it's incredibly soft. However, I did struggle with the (size 1) needles splitting the plies quite often. It may be better knit (or crocheted) with larger needles, perhaps a sweater or scarf?

Feels good on my fingers
By Leftie Mary
from Austin, TX
I crochet while watching tv, but I had to pay attention because the hook separates the plies so easily. I love the softness and drape.

This yarn knits up beautifully! With it I have made three pairs of socks, which wash well and feel wonderful on my feet.

I love using this yarn
By LittleChipper
from Kansas
I used the multi-colored for a top down sleeveless sweater. It has beautiful stitch definition. I used SS for most of it. I also liked it because it was COOLER. I can't wear all wool.

In the first case of its kind in the country, a Limerickman appeared before court charged with buggery with a German shepherd in a house in Patrickswell, Co. Limerick four years ago.
Sean McDonnell, 58, who has moved out of Limerick to an undisclosed location due to publicity surrounding the case, appeared visibly upset in Limerick Circuit Court as details of the case emerged.
Judge Carroll Moran heard that a number of text messages had been sent between the defendant and a woman identified only in court as XY, who died after having sexual activity with the dog belonging to McDonnell on October 7, 2008, in Laurel Park, Patrickswell.
The defendant, a father of three, called the emergency services, and when the ambulance and paramedics arrived they found the 43-year-old woman in an unusual state of dress, "with an unusual opening in the area of her pants."
The court heard he also contacted his doctor twice as he realized she was in distress, and then "collapsed as a result of contact with the dog."
She was removed to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital and was pronounced dead. Staff at the hospital alerted Gardai (police) to the incident.
A post-mortem examination was conducted by the state pathologist Dr. Marie Cassidy, and the cause of death remains undetermined.
Swabs were taken from the deceased and no human semen was found. Further analysis by the International Society for Animal Genetics found that the samples taken from the deceased and McDonnell's dog, MacKenzie, were a match.
McDonnell went voluntarily to Roxboro Road Garda station on the night in question, and on April 8, 2009, his home was searched.
Three computers were seized by Gardai -- two belonging to XY and one belonging to McDonnell -- which showed extensive activity in pornographic and bestiality sites.
It is the defense's case that there was "absolutely no element of any form of coercion" in this case, and that the woman sought out this activity.
The defendant faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The case has been adjourned to December 14.

Hate Crime Investigated
Police have confirmed that they are treating attacks on a Filipino family from the Ransevyn area in Whitehead as a hate crime.
The family, who say they are afraid to leave their home, talked of their anguish after being targeted by a group of teen vandals for almost one month.
Vandalism to the family's property first occurred around three weeks ago when a group of four boys wearing hooded jumpers broke into the family car.
At first, the family believed the break-in to be just a random crime, but since then more sinister incidents have taken place.
Aside from vandalizing property, the group of teenagers last week began to terrorize and bully the family of five.
One member of the family who did not wish to be named said she first noticed the attacks when the family car was broken into.
"I thought initially that it was just a random crime because we have lived in the house for almost six years and haven't had any problems," she said.
"Soon after the car was broken into we caught boys banging on our fence. Then they began destroying it by taking out palings."
The group returned on October 20, banging on the family's house while shining laser pointers into the windows.
"They were shouting what sounded like mock Chinese accents at us, but I can't be sure what they were saying," she said.
"They even shone a laser on my forehead while I was calling the police.
"I was literally shaking and fearing for my family's lives."
The resident revealed that she first phoned the police at 10:24 p.m. that same evening, but as the incidents got worse she called the police again 20 minutes later.
At 11:30 p.m. the police called her back and said there would be a delay in getting an officer to visit their house.
"I didn't sleep that night," she said.

Castle for Sale
It provided the backdrop for John Ford's The Quiet Man and was the only Irish hotel named recently in the Condé Nast Traveler Top 100 Hotels and Resorts in the World. Now Ashford Castle in Co. Mayo, is once again on the market, this time for the bargain price of €25 million – roughly half what developer Gerry Barrett paid for it just five years ago.
Set on 365 acres in Cong and overlooking Lough Corrib, the main building is in the style of a French chateau and was built in the mid-1700s, incorporating the old castle built in the 1220s (which is now unrecognizable). Further major development occurred throughout the 19th century, after the estate was purchased in 1852 by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness.
A luxury hotel since 1939, it is currently being run by Tifco Hotel Group, after being put into receivership last year. It is reported to be trading successfully.
The castle, which boasts 83 bedrooms, including six suites, has been a favorite with many celebrities throughout the years, including Ronald Reagan, Brad Pitt and Pierce Brosnan, who celebrated his marriage to Keely Shaye Smith there in 2001.

Here's a division-by-division look at the CIF Northern regional playoffs, which begin Wednesday.
Open Division
WHO'S HOT: No. 1 Bishop O'Dowd (26-4), No. 2 Capital Christian-Sacramento (27-3), No. 4 Newark Memorial (24-7).
WHOM TO WATCH: Ivan Rabb (O'Dowd), Paris Austin (O'Dowd), D.J. Wilson (Capital Christian), Joey Frenchwood (Newark Memorial), Tyrell Alcorn (El Cerrito), Ben Kone (Archbishop Mitty).
INSIDE THE FIELD: The bracket isn't quite as deep as last season when Aaron Gordon led Archbishop Mitty-San Jose to the inaugural NorCal Open Division title. But the East Bay is well represented with O'Dowd, Newark Memorial and No. 6 El Cerrito all making the six-team field. ... El Cerrito is the only team selected that didn't win a section title, but the Gauchos played even with No. 1 O'Dowd for a half in the North Coast Section Division III final. ... O'Dowd and Newark Memorial were also were part of the Open field last year, but bowed out in the opening round. ... Since losing seven games in a row in December, Newark has won 21 straight. O'Dowd also hasn't lost since the 2013 calendar year, a 21-game streak that includes a 86-60 blowout over No.
SLEEPER PICK: Archbishop Mitty
PREDICTED CHAMPION: Bishop O'Dowd
-- Stephanie Hammon
Division I
WHO'S HOT: No. 1 Monte Vista (28-1), No. 2 Jesuit-Carmichael (28-3), No. 5 McClymonds (19-8)
WHOM TO WATCH: Trevor John (Monte Vista), Jerry Karczewski (San Ramon Valley), Patrick Marr (De La Salle), Rodney Pope (Freedom), Isaiah Bailey (Jesuit), Deion Ellis (McClymonds)
INSIDE THE FIELD: Many thought Monte Vista had a chance to succeed in the Open Division, but the Mustangs didn't automatically qualify and instead opted to try for the program's first state title in their enrollment division. ... Three of the bracket's 13 teams are from the East Bay Athletic League, including a No. 4 San Ramon Valley team that handed Monte Vista its only loss of the season in overtime. ... No. 7 De La Salle's defensive style makes the Spartans a tough matchup, though they'll need to become road warriors to pull off a deep run. ... It would be a major upset if the East Bay isn't represented in the NorCal title game as six of the top eight seeds are from the NCS and Oakland sections. ... No. 2 Jesuit was working on an unbeaten season when it was defeated by Newark Memorial on MLK Day.
SLEEPER PICK: De La Salle
PREDICTED CHAMPION: Monte Vista
-- Stephanie Hammon
Division II
WHO'S HOT: No. 1 Folsom (29-2), No. 2 Concord (22-8), No. 4 Serra-San Mateo (21-8)
WHOM TO WATCH: Jordan Ford (Folsom), Siaan Rojas (Concord), Alex Van Dyke (Cosumnes Oaks-Elk Grove), Danny Mahoney (Serra), Joe Giacchetti (Leigh-San Jose), Caleb Baskett (Washington)
INSIDE THE FIELD: Folsom has the explosive star in Ford that could lead it to a title. The 6-foot sophomore point guard is averaging 22.8 points a game this season and scored 33 points in a 79-62 Sac-Joaquin Section Division II title game win over Cosumnes Oaks. ... Concord was impressive in its near-upset of Newark Memorial in the North Coast Section Division II title game. Before that loss, the Minutemen had won nine in a row. ... Cosumnes Oaks has much the same story as Concord. The Wolfpack, the No. 6 seed in the SJS Division II playoffs, won two close games in the quarterfinals and semifinals to reach the finals. ... Serra advanced to the Central Coast Section Open Division finals, where it lost 68-60 to Archbishop Mitty-San Jose. ... Ninth-seeded Washington and 11th-seeded Las Lomas has different familiarity with the Northern regional playoffs. The Huskies have not reached the tournament in at least 10 years, while the Knights have competed in it two of the past three years.
SLEEPER PICK: Serra
PREDICTED CHAMPION: Folsom
-- Phil Jensen
Division III
WHO'S HOT: No. 4 Burlingame (26-4), No. 5 Fairfield (25-6), No. 7 Aragon-San Mateo (20-9), No. 8 Enterprise-Redding (19-8)
WHOM TO WATCH: David Parsons (Sacred Heart Cathedral-San Francisco), Chris Hansen (Campolindo), Jiday Ugbaja (Archbishop Riordan-S.F), Frankie Ferrari (Burlingame), DeMoriaye Hart-Spikes (Fairfield), Buster Souza (Acalanes)
INSIDE THE FIELD: Three of the top four seeds played in the Central Coast Section's Open Division playoffs, and none of the three (No. 1 Sacred Heart Cathedral, No. 3 Archbishop Riordan and No. 4 Burlingame) reached the finals in that tournament. ... David Parsons of Sacred Heart Cathedral sank a 70-foot shot at the buzzer to win a CCS Open Division quarterfinal game ... Campolindo is led by the inside-outside combination of Hansen and Andrew Zolintakis. But it will miss Matt O'Reilly, who suffered a broken arm in the NCS semifinals and is out for the season, said Campolindo coach Matt Watson on March 11. ... This is the first year since 2007 that Acalanes has been in the Division III Northern regional playoffs.
SLEEPER PICK: Fairfield
PREDICTED CHAMPION: Sacred Heart Cathedral
-- Phil Jensen
Division IV
WHO'S HOT: No. 1 Moreau Catholic (24-6), No. 2 Salesian (20-14), No. 6 Natomas-Sacramento (19-8), No. 7 Sacred Heart Prep-Atherton
WHOM TO WATCH: Jose Flores (St. Patrick-St. Vincent), Jonathan Galloway (Salesian), Brandon Lawrence (Moreau Catholic), Damari Milstead (Moreau Catholic), Michael Shoemaker (Corning), Kaijae Yee-Stephens (Santa Cruz),
INSIDE THE FIELD: Moreau Catholic, with its stirring comeback win over Salesian in the NCS Division I championship game, earned the No. 1 seed and a first round bye. The Mariners have a young team, but the time might be right for them to make a run at the Northern regional title. Should Moreau Catholic beat either Encina Prep or Corning, a third round game against battle-tested St. Patrick-St. Vincent looms. ... Salesian played some of its best basketball down the stretch with wins over El Cerrito and SPSV. and likely won't be tested until the regional semifinals, potentially against either Half Moon Bay or Natomas. ... Natomas enters the state playoffs with momentum, having won 10 straight, including the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV title. ... Division IV has some of the top scorers in Northern California, including guard Kaijae Yee-Stephens of Santa Cruz (20.8 ppg) and forward Michael Shoemaker of Corning (19.2 ppg).
SLEEPER PICK: Natomas
PREDICTED CHAMPION: Moreau Catholic
-- Curtis Pashelka
Division V
WHO'S HOT: No. 1 Central Catholic-Modesto (25-6), No. 2 St. Joseph Notre Dame (27-5), No. 4 Branson-Ross (25-6), No. 5 Liberty Christian-Redding (25-4)
WHOM TO WATCH: Jonathan Boddie (Central Catholic), Ethan Eads (Central Catholic), Temidayo Yussuf (St. Joseph Notre Dame), Lamont Banks (St. Joseph Notre Dame), Armani Collins (Stuart Hall), Luke Jordan (Forest Lake Christian), Taylor Walton (Branson)
INSIDE THE FIELD: Central Catholic earned the No. 1 seed after it advanced to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V title game, where the Raiders ran into a loaded Capital Christian-Sacramento team and lost by 21 points. Still, Central Catholic has depth, with five players who average nine points or more per game. ... Few Division V teams enter the state playoffs as battle-tested as two-time defending Northern regional champion St. Joseph Notre Dame, which not only won the Tri-County Athletic League tournament title, but won its last two NCS playoff games by one point each, including a controversial 49-48 win over Branson in the Division V title game. Not many teams will be able to match up with Temidayo Yussuf, either. ... Branson is on the other side of the bracket, but will be plenty motivated to reach the Northern regional final for a possible rematch with the Pilots.
SLEEPER PICK: Branson
PREDICTED CHAMPION: St. Joseph Notre Dame
-- Curtis Pashelka

The Southeastern Conference and ESPN announced today the 110th Battle for the Golden Egg – the annual rivalry football game between Mississippi State and Ole Miss – will be played at 6:30 p.m. CT on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, in 2013.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our state's largest football game to be played on the largest stage of a crowded football weekend," director of athletics Scott Stricklin said. "Some of the most memorable games in Egg Bowl history have come on Thanksgiving night, and hopefully more great memories can be made for Bulldog fans on this holiday evening.
Over the past three seasons, Egg Bowl ratings have averaged approximately 481,000 viewers, with each of the games broadcast Saturday evening on ESPNU. During the same three-year period, Thanksgiving Day contests on ESPN during primetime have averaged 3.6 million viewers per game.
The Battle for the Golden Egg has been played on Thanksgiving night 20 times previously, with the most recent occasions coming from 1998 to 2003.
Playing on Thanksgiving Day is nothing new in Bulldog football history, as Mississippi State football teams played on the Thursday holiday 24 times between 1902 and 1932.
"This is always, without question, the biggest game of the season for us," head coach Dan Mullen said. "Playing on Thanksgiving night allows a national audience to see how important this game is in our state."
Recent Egg Bowl TV viewers (481,160 avg over last three years)
2010: Mississippi State at Ole Miss, 531,560 (ESPNU)

I love Calvin and Hobbes. But I have to give the edge to The Far Side. Have you seen the one called Kagaroo Nerds? It's a picture of 2 Kangaroos, with huge pocket protectors in their pouches...brilliant.

re: calvin
calvin defenitely holds its own echelon above any other comics Ive seen. My whole childhood I read those strips over and over, man.. sigh
Half of the comics out there, even now, are comprised of forgettable characters (sometimes offhandedly bigoted) with throwaway jokes. The usual suspects are Blondie & Dagwood, Haggar the Horrible, Wizard of Id, etc.. Posers include The Norm (which actually used to be decent) and Zits (which is ok).
Cathy and For Better or Worse are common fiends, but they're more decent than generally regarded.
Dilbert is good, but it serves more as a platform for office jokes, than deep characters or storylines. I'm surprised Scott Adams is able to come up with funny jokes day after day, especially because he ostensibly doesn't work in an office anymore.
Doonesbury is good, but again, its only a platform for political jokes.
I dont really care for the Boondocks, though the party line is the opposite. I think it's popular for the same general reasons penny arcade is popular: its not challenging, and its jokes are deceptively pedantic and reliable.
PVP (www.pvponline.com) is decent, but it used to be much better. Since about december, it has been annoying and just generally not funny or interesting. The characters are somewhere in limbo between "developed" and "platforms."
I have two strips I really enjoy: Mutts and Achewood. Mutts isn't really like Calvin; it's very sublime, simple and sweet, and I love it. It runs in a bunch of newspapers, and has a collection of books, so go to Barnes & Noble and run through a few books. Achewood is an online comic (www.achewood.com), which has a few years under its belt. Most or all of the Achewood the strips are smart and funny, and the characters are compelling (especially since the addition and spotlighting of Roast Beef).

I especially hate the soap opera comics that leave you in agony Sunday after Sunday waiting for the next 4 squares of drama...ohhh the suspense.

I really don't like the Boondocks. I want to...dood references rap artists and seems to be in line with my politics and all that, plus he was influenced by Berke Breathed. But his style is flat and boring. His characters are too stylized so that they can only be an exact profile or they look at you dead-on. Lately, all of the Sunday comics have been blithe cliffside political ruminations between Huey and Caesar. Current Events is really affecting comics all over, not just the editorial comics. I see some artists taking the opportunity to attempt the comedy/commentary comic strip style made popular by Doonesbury...but many of these people lack a sense of subtlety and/or can't convey their feeling well. Some are trying to ignore current events completely, but this makes their strips seem wholly irrelevant. In strips like For Better or For Worse and Gasoline Alley, where time actually passes and events can have long-lasting effects, the lack of any commentary whatsoever is most obvious.
Many of the comics that are still lingering around...Blondie, Wizard of Id, etc. had their hey-day when our grandparents were young. Blondie is an offshoot of another comic that was big in the late 20's about a flapper and her well-to-do suitors that was a thinly-veiled commentary on Capitalism. Wizard of Id was more of an editorial cartoon in the post-WWII era. However, these artists are now in their 70's (if they still draw the comic at all--many of the people credited do not, like Dennis the Menace) and their politics as well as their sensibilites have changed. At one time, the comics page was what made a particular newspaper popular...now it is like a concession to the old guard, begrudgingly given at the expense of valuable ad space and television listings. As much as I love comic strips--and I do love them very much--it is pretty much a dead medium.

Sage is right for once....
Calvin is the G.O.A.T
I'd put Doonesbury 2nd, Bloom County 3rd....
I am really feeling the Boondocks...my only beef is the failed character development of the others. Huey and Ceasar get the most play but Riley's hilarious as well as that blonde girl who tries to be gangsta. They don't show enouh Jazmin who I think is the most interesting and sympathetic character in the whole strip. The strip feels warm when they have her on because it stops being political/revolutionary and deals with her quest for self identity and acceptance. Ceasar's cool but we're on Huey overkill

Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 34(b). Procedure.
(1) The request may, without leave of court, be served upon the plaintiff after commencement of the action and upon any other party with or after service of the summons and complaint upon that party. The request shall set forth the items to be inspected either by individual item or by category, and describe each item and category with reasonable particularity. The request shall specify a reasonable time, place, and manner of making the inspection and performing the related acts. To obtain discovery of data or information that exists in electronic or data storage devices in any medium, the requesting party must specifically request production of such data and specify the form or manner of delivery in which the requesting party wants it produced.
(2) The party upon whom the request is served shall serve a written response within 30 days after the service of the request. The response shall state, with respect to each item or category, that inspection and related activities will be permitted as requested, unless the request is objected to, in which event any reasons for objection shall be stated. If objection is made to part of an item or category, the part shall be specified. As to electronic or data storage devices in any medium, the responding party must produce the data that is responsive to the request and is reasonably available to the responding party in its ordinary course of business. If the responding party cannot through reasonable efforts retrieve the data or information requested or produce it in the form requested, the responding party must state an objection complying with these rules.

If the court orders the responding party to comply with the request, the court may also order that the requesting party pay the reasonable expenses of any extraordinary steps required to retrieve and produce the information.
(3) The request for production, the response thereto, and all or any documents produced pursuant to this Rule shall not be filed with the court. The party demanding an inspection or production shall retain both the original of the inspection or production demand, with the original proof of service affixed to it, and the original response, until one (1) year after final disposition of the action. At that time, both originals may be destroyed, unless the court, on motion of any party and for good cause shown, orders that the originals be preserved for a longer period.

As pharmaceutical companies increase their level of outsourcing, the models for partnering ar evolving. Preferred-provider relationship are highly collaborative and strategic partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and select CROs, CDMOs, and CMOs. The author examines recent examples of such collaborations.
Big Pharma partnersPfizer. In May 2011, Pfizer formed strategic partnerships with the CROs Icon and Parexel, both of which will serve as strategic providers of clinical-trial implementation services over a five-year period beginning in June 2011. The new partnerships will be fully implemented over an 18-to-24 month period.
In announcing the collaborations with Icon and Parexel, Pfizer said that the two-partner model will simplify its processes by reducing the number of external service providers that the company uses for clinical-trial execution. Pfizer says this new strategic partnership model does not substantially change the proportion of clinical-trial implementation services that the company outsources. Pfizer is retaining scientific ownership of the clinical-development process and is maintaining oversight and quality standards relating to patient safety and regulatory compliance.
"We've also [have] taken a look at the value chain inside our research organization and have outsourced a lot of our clinical work with a strategic partnership with Icon and Parexel," said Ian Read, chairman and CEO at Pfizer at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, which was held in January 2012 (1). "I think that's a major strategy for us. We've rationalized our efforts there. Before we were dealing with 18, 19, 20 plus partners. It was very difficult to control. It was very difficult to get quality work and get savings. We now have a strategic partnership with two global players."
Bristol-Myers Squibb has since followed with other preferred-provider arrangements. In March 2011, Bristol-Myers Squibb and the CRO WuXi AppTec formed a strategic partnership for stability studies of small-molecule new chemical entities. Under the agreement, WuXi will build, equip, and operate a dedicated, fully cGMP-compliant 25,000-ft2 analytical testing facility in Shanghai to store and test stability samples and to perform other services for Bristol-Myers Squibb. WuXi also will employ a dedicated staff for stability testing, sample management, analytical testing, pharmaceutical science, quality assurance, metrology, and other services, including stability-data reporting in support of all global dossier submissions by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Bristol-Myers Squibb also had adopted a facility component in its preferred-provider relationship with Syngene International, a subsidiary of the Indian biotechnology company Biocon. In March 2009, Syngene opened a fully dedicated R&D facility for Bristol-Myers Squibb in Bangalore, India. The 200,000-ft2 facility is focused on discovery and early-drug development. Construction on the facility began in March 2007 when Bristol-Myers Squibb and Biocon entered into an agreement to develop integrated drug-discovery and development capabilities at Syngene.
