IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Sacramento)
July 23, 2012
MARIA DENISE LITTLE, AS EXECUTOR, ETC., PLAINTIFF AND RESPONDENT,v.ELAINE FAMBRINI, AS TRUSTEE, ETC., ET AL., DEFENDANTS AND APPELLANTS.
(Super. Ct. No. 07AS01530)
Little v. Fambrini CA3
California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115.
Jeannie Ramsay Bacich sued the beneficiaries of the estate of Dorothy Desmond -- Michael Campanella, Leslie Campanella, Tosh Campanella, Forrest Campanella, Jeanette Mae Mendias, Frances "Jenny" Navarro, Joellyn E. Knight, and Elaine Fambrini (Beneficiaries) -- to enforce Dorothy's promise to leave her estate to Jeannie.*fn1 Beneficiaries appeal from a judgment following a bench trial.
Beneficiaries contend (1) there is no substantial evidence that Jeannie would suffer unconscionable injury if she did not receive Dorothy's estate, or that Dorothy's estate would be unjustly enriched if Jeannie did not receive Dorothy's estate; and (2) the trial court abused its discretion in not allowing Beneficiaries to recover defense costs from the trust estate.
We conclude:
1. Substantial evidence supports the trial court's findings that Dorothy induced Jeannie to make a serious change of position in reliance on Dorothy's promise to leave her estate to Jeannie, and the failure to enforce Dorothy's promise would result in unconscionable injury to Jeannie. Accordingly, we need not address whether substantial evidence also supports the alternative circumstance of unjust enrichment.
2. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in disallowing recovery of Beneficiaries' litigation expenses from the estate.
We will affirm the judgment.
Dorothy gave her daughter Jeannie up for adoption in 1930. At the time, Dorothy was 17 years old and unmarried. Dorothy never had any other children.
Allan and Grace Archibald adopted Jeannie. Jeannie had a very loving relationship with the Archibalds.
Allan died in 1953. In 1954, when Jeannie was 24, she began efforts to locate her birth mother. As a result of those efforts, Dorothy and Jeannie began communicating. At the time, Dorothy was married to Albert Desmond; Jeannie had two young children, Michael and Suzi Campanella.*fn2
Jeannie and her children stayed with Dorothy and Albert for two months in 1954 or 1955. Dorothy also invited Grace to visit with them. According to Jeannie, Dorothy was a little jealous of Grace.
Dorothy gave Jeannie a copy of a handwritten will dated January 9, 1955, in which Dorothy left her entire estate to Jeannie. After the two-month visit, however, Jeannie's relationship with Dorothy diminished. Dorothy and Jeannie lost touch for nearly 30 years.
Grace subsequently lived with Jeannie and her family. Jeannie took care of Grace toward the end of Grace's life. Grace died in 1972.
In 1984, Dorothy and Jeannie reconnected. After their reunion, Dorothy and Jeannie grew close, seeing each other every week, traveling together, and spending holidays together. Dorothy referred to Jeannie as her daughter and to herself as "mother." Albert died in 1991.
In early 1992, when Dorothy was 79 years old, Dorothy proposed adopting Jeannie. Jeannie was 62 years old and had no interest in adoption. Jeannie had a social relationship with Dorothy and saw no reason to change or enhance their relationship. Jeannie was also concerned about severing legal ties with her sister Barbara (also adopted by the Archibalds) and Barbara's two children. Jeannie told Dorothy about her misgivings concerning adoption.
Dorothy invited Jeannie, Jeannie's husband George, and Jeannie's daughter Maria to her home to discuss the proposed adoption. Dorothy said she wanted to establish a legal relationship with Jeannie and Jeannie's children and wanted to make Jeannie her sole heir. According to Jeannie, Dorothy believed adoption would give her companionship and a place of honor in Jeannie's family as the acknowledged legal mother and grandmother. Dorothy told Maria adoption would make Dorothy the "real grandmother."
Maria testified that Dorothy liked being the center of attention and wanted to be the "head of the family. That was very important to [Dorothy]." Jeannie similarly testified that it was important to Dorothy to be "the matriarch" of the family. According to George and Maria, another reason Dorothy wanted to adopt Jeannie was because Dorothy felt bad about giving Jeannie up for adoption and wanted to "make up for the past."
Dorothy told George his consent was necessary for the adoption to occur.*fn3 She showed off her house, jewelry, checkbook, and car to George and told him that if he allowed her to adopt Jeannie, she would make Jeannie her sole heir. Dorothy discussed making a will leaving everything to Jeannie.
George and Maria testified that Dorothy promised to leave her estate to Jeannie if Jeannie consented to the adoption. George consented to the adoption because of Dorothy's promise to devise her estate to Jeannie.
Jeannie testified that she and Dorothy verbally agreed that Jeannie would allow Dorothy to adopt her and Dorothy would leave her estate to Jeannie. Jeannie would not have agreed to be adopted without Dorothy's promise to devise her estate to Jeannie.
Dorothy adopted Jeannie on June 10, 1992. Soon after, Dorothy gave Jeannie a typewritten will dated June 19, 1992, in which Dorothy left her entire estate to Jeannie. On June 22, 1992, Dorothy executed a formal will that again left Dorothy's entire estate to Jeannie. Dorothy told Jeannie that Dorothy had executed the 1992 wills pursuant to their oral agreement.
Jeannie understood that the adoption severed her legal relationship with Barbara and Barbara's children. According to Jeannie, Barbara and her family felt uncomfortable about not being Jeannie's legal relatives, and Jeannie felt bad about how they felt.
After the adoption, Dorothy bragged to Jeannie and others about being Jeannie's legal mother and the legal grandmother to Jeannie's children. Dorothy said she felt happier after she adopted Jeannie and it was important to her that she was Jeannie's legal mother. Dorothy told Jeannie's friend Sherrill Goodman Mariscales that Dorothy felt guilty for years about giving Jeannie up for adoption and adopting Jeannie allowed Dorothy to "rectif[y] the whole thing."
Dorothy and Jeannie continued to travel together and socialize after the adoption. Dorothy sent Jeannie greeting cards in which Dorothy referred to herself as "mother" and to Jeannie as her only daughter.
A number of witnesses reported that, after the adoption, Dorothy acknowledged her promise to leave her estate to Jeannie. Among them was Jeannie's friend Gerald Bakarich, who heard Dorothy state on more than one occasion that she was leaving her property to Jeannie. Although she did not use the word "agreement," Dorothy told Peggy Bakarich that Dorothy was leaving Jeannie her estate. While gambling, Dorothy joked that she was spending Jeannie's inheritance.
In 1997, Dorothy gave Jeannie a document dated November 13, 1997, which Dorothy identified as her trust. The 1997 trust left everything to Jeannie with the exception of three $5,000 bequests to each of Jeannie's children. Jeannie believed the 1997 trust complied with Dorothy's promise and Jeannie did not object to the small bequests to Jeannie's children.
In 1998, Jeannie moved to San Juan Capistrano to be near Maria, who was having her first child. After the move, Jeannie saw Dorothy when Jeannie visited family in Sacramento.
Jeannie saw Dorothy for the last time in 2003, before Jeannie underwent surgery for breast cancer. The two communicated occasionally after that. In about 2005, Dorothy was ill with leukemia. Dorothy died on February 2, 2007.
Jeannie learned after Dorothy's death that Dorothy amended her estate plan many more times. Dorothy left her estate to Beneficiaries -- Jeannie's son Michael, Michael's wife Leslie and their children Tosh and Forrest, and Dorothy's friends -- and named one of the Beneficiaries, Elaine Fambrini, as trustee of the trust. Dorothy left nothing to Jeannie.
Jeannie filed a complaint against Beneficiaries for quasi-specific performance of an oral contract to make a will, imposition of a constructive trust, and accounting. The matter was tried by the court. The trial court determined (1) clear and convincing evidence established that Dorothy entered into an oral contract to leave her estate to Jeannie in exchange for Jeannie's agreement to be adopted by Dorothy, (2) the oral contract was supported by adequate consideration, (3) Jeannie performed her part of the bargain, (4) Dorothy failed to perform under the oral contract, (5) Jeannie did not have an adequate remedy at law for Dorothy's breach, (6) Beneficiaries were estopped from relying on the statute of frauds because failure to enforce Dorothy's promise to Jeannie would result in unconscionable injury to Jeannie and unjust enrichment to Beneficiaries, standing in Dorothy's shoes, and (7) the trust was not required to pay the cost of defending against Jeannie's lawsuit.
The trial court issued a judgment directing the trustee to transfer trust assets to Jeannie, with the exception of the three $5,000 bequests set forth in the unamended 1997 trust, and denying the trustee any expenses related to Jeannie's lawsuit. This appeal followed.
Jeannie died on July 8, 2010. We subsequently granted a motion substituting Maria Little, in her capacity as executor of Jeannie's estate, as respondent.
When factual findings are challenged on the ground that there is no substantial evidence to support them, an appellate court must determine whether there is any substantial evidence to sustain the challenged findings. (Leff v. Gunter (1983) 33 Cal.3d 508, 518.) The clear and convincing evidence standard applicable in the trial court does not govern our review. (Crail v. Blakely (1973) 8 Cal.3d 744, 750 (Crail).)
Substantial evidence is evidence "'of ponderable legal significance, . . . reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value.'" (Bowers v. Bernards (1984) 150 Cal.App.3d 870, 873, italics omitted.) If substantial evidence exists, it is of no consequence that the evidence could also support a contrary conclusion. (Id. at pp. 873-874.) The appellants bear the burden of demonstrating that there is no substantial evidence to support the challenged factual findings. (Foreman & Clark Corp. v. Fallon (1971) 3 Cal.3d 875, 881.)
We begin with a presumption that the record contains evidence to sustain every finding of fact (Foreman & Clark Corp. v. Fallon, supra, 3 Cal.3d at p. 881), and we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, giving the prevailing party the benefit of every reasonable inference and resolving all conflicts in the evidence in support of the judgment. (As You Sow v. Conbraco Industries (2005) 135 Cal.App.4th 431, 454.) We do not weigh the evidence, consider the credibility of the witnesses, or resolve conflicts in the evidence or in the reasonable inferences that may be drawn from them. (Leff v. Gunter, supra, 33 Cal.3d at p. 518.) If more than one inference reasonably can be deduced from the facts, the trial court's decision will not be disturbed on appeal. (Boswell v. Reid (1962) 199 Cal.App.2d 705, 714.) Where the evidence is reasonably susceptible of only one inference, the question is one of law and we exercise our independent judgment. (9 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (5th ed. 2008) Appeal, § 377, pp. 435-436; Estate of Anderson (1997) 60 Cal.App.4th 436, 441.)
Whether equitable estoppel should be applied in a given case to preclude the use of a statute of frauds defense is generally a question of fact. (Byrne v. Laura (1997) 52 Cal.App.4th 1054, 1068.) But we review the trial court's decision to allow or disallow the payment of litigation expenses out of trust property for an abuse of discretion. (Whittlesey v. Aiello (2002) 104 Cal.App.4th 1221, 1230 (Whittlesey).)
A contract to make a will can be established only in certain ways. (Prob. Code, § 21700; [former Prob. Code, § 150; Stats. 1990, ch. 79, § 14, p. 474].) Former Probate Code section 150, which applies to this case, provided that a contract to make a will must be in writing.*fn4 Nonetheless, a party may be estopped to assert this statute of frauds based on principles of equity. (McCabe v. Healy (1902) 138 Cal. 81, 84-85; Estate of Housley (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 342, 351-355, 358.)
Beneficiaries acknowledge there are two alternative circumstances in which a party may be equitably estopped to raise the statute of frauds to avoid an oral agreement to make a will: (1) where the promisor induced the promisee to make a serious change of position in reliance on the oral agreement, commonly known as detrimental reliance, and a failure to enforce the oral agreement would cause unconscionable injury to the promisee; or (2) where the promisor would receive unjust enrichment if allowed to retain the benefit of the promisee's performance without abiding by the promisor's obligation under the oral agreement. (Estate of Housley, supra, 56 Cal.App.4th at pp. 351, 359.) But Beneficiaries argue substantial evidence does not support the trial court's findings that (1) Jeannie would suffer unconscionable injury if the oral contract was not enforced, and (2) Dorothy's estate would be unjustly enriched. Because substantial evidence supports the trial court's finding regarding unconscionable injury, we need not address whether substantial evidence also supports the alternative circumstance of unjust enrichment.
Beneficiaries argue there would be no unconscionable injury because Jeannie did not devote work, energy or effort for Dorothy and did not give up other opportunities in reliance on Dorothy's promise.
"Unconscionable injury" would exist if a promisee, in reliance on a promise, changed position to such an extent that it would be inequitable if the oral contract was not enforced. (Monarco v. Lo Greco (1950) 35 Cal.2d 621, 622-627; Estate of Housley, supra, 56 Cal.App.4th at pp. 347-348, 360-361; Estate of Brenzikofer (1996) 49 Cal.App.4th 1461, 1465, 1467-1468; Porporato v. Devincenzi (1968) 261 Cal.App.2d 670, 673, 678-679; Horstmann v. Sheldon (1962) 202 Cal.App.2d 184, 188-189.) Although many cases discussing unconscionable injury involve a promisee performing labor for the promisor or forebearing other opportunities, those are not the only ways that unconscionable injury can be established. In Crail, supra, 8 Cal.3d 744, a change in legal position was enough to invoke estoppel. In that case, wife signed a will leaving her estate to husband based on a verbal agreement that upon his death, husband would leave the residuary estate to their children. (Crail, supra, 8 Cal.3d at p. 747.) The California Supreme Court concluded that husband was estopped to deny the oral agreement because he remained silent while wife changed her legal position in reliance upon his promise. (Ibid.) Other cases cited by Beneficiaries, such as Redke v. Silvertrust (1971) 6 Cal.3d 94, Day v. Greene (1963) 59 Cal.2d 404, and Juran v. Epstein (1994) 23 Cal.App.4th 882, reach conclusions similar to Crail on similar facts.
In this case, although Jeannie was reluctant to sever her legal relationship with the Archibald family, she ultimately agreed to change her legal position (Fam. Code, § 9320), and her husband George ultimately gave his legal consent (Fam. Code, § 9302), in reliance on Dorothy's promise. The adoption changed Jeannie's legal rights, duties and responsibilities. (Prob. Code, § 6451 [adoption severs the parent-child relationship between the adopted person and the prior adoptive parents]; Fam. Code, §§ 9305 [adoptee and adoptive parent have legal relationship of parent and child and have all the rights and are subject to all the duties of that relationship], 9320 [parties to adoption must agree to assume the rights, duties and responsibilities of parent and child]; Estate of Turkington (1983) 147 Cal.App.3d 590, 594 [adoption establishes new family relationship]; In re Newman (1888) 75 Cal. 213, 219, superseded by statute on another point as stated in Dobrick v. Hathaway (1984) 160 Cal.App.3d 913, 921, fn. 11 [adopted child may inherit from adopting parent]; Estate of Jobson (1912) 164 Cal. 312, 317 [adopting parent may inherit from adopted child]; see also Estate of Jobson, supra, 164 Cal. at p. 317 [death of an adoptive parent does not revive the parent-child relationship with a birth parent].)
As the trial court noted, Jeannie's decision to consent to the adoption was not an easy one. Jeannie had a very close relationship with Grace and was concerned about how adoption would affect her relationship with her only sibling, Barbara. Jeannie and George would not have consented to the adoption had it not been for Dorothy's promise. The change in legal relationship caused by the adoption was significant for Jeannie.
Jeannie fully performed under the oral agreement. In presenting Jeannie with a copy of the 1992 wills and the 1997 trust, Dorothy led Jeannie to believe that Dorothy had fully performed, too. Like in Crail, Dorothy remained silent and did not inform Jeannie that she subsequently amended her estate plan numerous times, ultimately eliminating Jeannie as an heir. (Crail, supra, 8 Cal.3d 744.)
The evidence in this case supports the trial court's conclusion that Jeannie, in reliance on Dorothy's promise, changed position to such an extent that it would be inequitable if the oral contract was not enforced. Even if the trial court could have reached a different conclusion based on the evidence, we are required on appeal to view the evidence in the light most favorable to the judgment. (As You Sow v. Conbraco Industries, supra, 135 Cal.App.4th at p. 454.) The trial court's decision is supported by substantial evidence.
Beneficiaries also claim that the trial court abused its discretion in not permitting the trustee, beneficiary Fambrini, to deduct litigation expenses from the trust estate.
The litigation expenses were incurred by the Beneficiaries in defending against Jeannie's lawsuit. The trial court found that the litigation expenses were not incurred in furtherance of the trustee's duties to administer the trust or to defend against claims that may cause a loss to the trust.
"'The underlying principle which guides the court in allowing costs and attorneys' fees incidental to litigation out of a trust estate is that such litigation is a benefit and a service to the trust.' [Citation.] Consequently, where the trust is not benefited by litigation, or did not stand to be benefited if the trustee had succeeded, there is no basis for the recovery of expenses out of the trust assets." (Whittlesey, supra, 104 Cal.App.4th at p. 1230.)
In Whittlesey, a trust beneficiary challenged the validity of an amendment to the trust and prevailed. This court held that the trustee could not obtain reimbursement of defense costs from the trust because the lawsuit did not attack the validity of the entire trust, it only involved a dispute over who would control the trust and benefit from the trust. (Whittlesey, supra, 104 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1228-1229.) If the lawsuit had succeeded, the trust would remain intact. (Id. at p. 1228.) Hence, defeating the lawsuit would not benefit the trust. Recovery of defense costs would also be inequitable, because it would essentially require the prevailing beneficiary to pay her own litigation costs as well as those of the losing defendants. (Id. at p. 1230.) This court concluded that in an action involving competing claims by beneficiaries to a trust, the trustee must take a neutral position in the contest. (Id. at pp. 1230-1231.) To the extent the trustee represents the interests of one side of the contest over the other, the trustee must look to the parties who stand to gain from the litigation for reimbursement, not the trust. (Id. at p. 1231; Terry v. Conlan (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 1445, 1464.)
In this case, Jeannie sought quasi-specific performance of Dorothy's oral promise to make a will benefiting Jeannie. Such "relief is granted, not by ordering a will to be made, but by regarding the property in the hands of the heirs, devisees, assignees, or representatives of the deceased promisor, as impressed with a trust in favor of the plaintiff, and by compelling defendant . . . to make such a disposition of the property as will carry out the intent of the [oral] agreement." (McCabe v. Healy, supra, 138 Cal. at pp. 84-85.) The imposition of a constructive trust does not remove the trust estate from the trustee's possession as such property is still subject to administration of the estate. (Estate of Majtan (1965) 237 Cal.App.2d 7, 20; Estate of Trissel (1975) 44 Cal.App.3d 597, 602.) Such action is between the claimant under the oral contract (Jeannie) and the claimants under the amended trust (Beneficiaries) as to who is entitled to all or part of Dorothy's estate. (Ludwicki v. Guerin (1961) 57 Cal.2d 127, 132 [constructive trust action is in effect a suit between claimants under the oral contract and claimants under the will or by intestacy]; Bank of California (1940) 16 Cal.2d 516, 524 [action for quasi-specific performance of an oral contract to will property is against the distributee personally, not against the estate]; Estate of Mullins (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 924, 931 ["an action for a constructive trust does not involve the internal affairs of a trust"]; Estate of Miller (1963) 212 Cal.App.2d 284, 293-295.) In this manner, Jeannie's lawsuit is similar to the one in Whittlesey. (Whittlesey, supra, 104 Cal.App.4th 1221.) Although the trustee may properly be made a party to the action for the purpose of restraining him or her from distributing the trust property, an action to enforce an oral promise to make a will does not interfere with the administration by the trustee, who is a mere stakeholder with respect to the proceeding.*fn5 (Ludwicki v. Guerin, supra, 57 Cal.2d at p. 132.)
Jeannie did not seek to invalidate the trust. (See 64 Cal.Jur.3d (2006) Wills, § 62, pp. 94-96 [the remedy of constructive trust does not invalidate the testamentary instrument].) In fact, Jeannie was the primary beneficiary under the unamended 1997 trust, and the judgment enforced the terms of the unamended 1997 trust. The trust authorized the trustee to hire attorneys to advise or help the trustee in the performance of administrative duties and to defend actions for the protection of trust property. But because Jeannie's lawsuit did not seek to invalidate the trust, Fambrini, in her role as trustee, was a neutral party to the dispute and did not have a duty or the authority to defend against the action. (Ludwicki v. Guerin, supra, 57 Cal.2d at p. 132; Whittlesey, supra, 104 Cal.App.4th at p. 1231.)
Of course, Fambrini was also a beneficiary under the trust, and in that role she had a personal interest in defending against Jeannie's claim. However, Fambrini is not entitled to reimbursement from the trust for championing her personal interest as a beneficiary in this case. (Terry v. Conlan, supra, 131 Cal.App.4th at p. 1464.)
Finally, requiring the trust to pay Beneficiaries' defense costs would in effect require Jeannie, as the prevailing party, to pay her own litigation costs plus the costs of the losing defendants. Such a result would be inequitable. (Whittlesey, supra, 104 Cal.App.4th at p. 1230.)
Under the circumstances, the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
The judgment is affirmed.

Acquisition Edit
Your conversation with Joker immediately devolves into a shootout upon arrival of uninvited armored guests at Ryuusei's Sushi Bar.
Preparation Edit
As you cannot change anything about Shepard upon receiving this mission, see the preparation notes for the previous mission in terms of loadout customization.
There are limited ammo pickups in this mission. Make every shot count, and rely on your powers more than your weapon.
Walkthrough Editmercenaries stroll into the bar, and one knocks the host unconscious. They proceed to fire their weapons at the ceiling, causing the restaurant patrons to panic and scatter. Shepard grabs Joker, pulls him down and flips the table over for cover.
Brooks hides behind another table but one of the mercenaries finds and drags her away. Shepard orders Joker to get the crew while the Commander goes after Brooks. When Joker starts moving away, one of the mercenaries notices him and moves closer to the overturned table. Shepard grabs the enemy and uses a heavy melee to kill him. (Joker complains about being used as bait but makes an escape.) Shepard recovers the mercenary's pistol, a M-11 Suppressor, and tells Brooks to hold on; now the fight begins.
Find Brooks Edit
Because you are outnumbered and without armor or squadmates, use cover as much as possible. The pair coming around from your left is the greatest initial danger, as the ones in the bar will tend to hit ceiling obstructions if they try to throw grenades at you. The bar also makes a nice receptacle for your own grenades if Shepard comes equipped with such.
The mercenaries will deploy Disruption Drones, which will charge at you and then self destruct, overloading your shields; take them down before they can do that. The mercenaries and drones also all have shields. This initial wave of enemies will test your shield-stripping capabilities.
Fortunately, the M-11 Suppressor in your hands does superb damage and features the highest headshot modifier in the game. Its major downside is its lack of ammo, but on Insanity difficulty it can kill an unshielded enemy in three or four shots (one for headshots).
Since the goal here is to revive Brooks and not to survive the infinitely spawning enemies, it's recommended that you make a beeline for her once the area is considerably cleared. If you approach by climbing over the bar counters in succession, you will always have cover from any new mercenaries who spawn on the staircase. Infiltrators can cloak and run straight around the bar to tag Brooks right away at the beginning of the fight. Vanguards may also want to Charge at the enemy that is nearest to Brooks, and then rush to her for an equally quick solution.
Find an Exit Edit
A short cutscene plays out where another mercenary targets Shepard with a Mattock, but Brooks notices, shoves the Commander out of the way, and takes the bullet herself. Shepard tries to get to her, but the mercenary's bullets end up shattering the restaurant's glass floor. Shepard is sent on a wild ride down into the lower Ward. After several repeated attempts to stop, the Commander finally manages to fall onto a platform and stops.
Clearly injured, Shepard recovers the M-11 Suppressor and manages to get up. Brooks contacts the Commander, saying she has found a secure terminal. Shepard asks how Brooks is okay and Brooks says she used all the medi-gel, and now everything is a little bit bouncy. Shepard makes the comment that she probably used too much. Brooks asks if she can be of assistance, and Shepard tells her to alert C-Sec while the Commander looks for a way out.
Be extra cautious: Shepard has only one Health Bar segment thanks to that drop through the floor, and remains that way throughout the rest of the mission. One workaround is that if you die, Shepard starts with an extra segment.
Proceed out the door and jump across to the next platform, down the ladder to your left, and then across to the next platform. There you will find a datapad about new temperature units. Head down the next ladder and Shepard will notice a landing pad. Brooks checks the area and notices it is a pad for Cision Motors. Shepard orders Brooks to get a shuttle there, but Brooks says that C-Sec had the entire area locked down and it will be difficult. Shepard orders her to keep trying. Brooks tells the Commander to stay off the comm as it is probably hacked, which she notes is probably how they found Shepard in the first place. Shepard asks who they are; Brooks replies that she doesn't know, but they clearly don't like Shepard. Head down the next ladder and into the fish storage area on your right.
The room doesn't contain much except frozen fish, crates of "authentic European sushi", and a salarian fish worker on a smoking break. Ignore him and head up the ladder if you're in a hurry, otherwise if you keep returning to his location he'll be slightly creeped out by your actions.
Get to Skycar Lot Edit
Above the ladder you get a new NavPoint. Turn left, then across the gaps. Once you reach the end, there is a group of three enemies down on the lower level. Head down the ladder and hide behind the market stall counter before they spot you (fortunately this stall appears to sell ammo and a grenade resupply).
Shooting is not advised. At this point, your best idea is to use stealth as you will quickly find yourself in a whole world of enemies if you don't. Use tactics to pick them off one by one until you get discovered, then shoot the rest as quickly as possible. Keeping them off their feet with grenades, stun effects, etc, will minimize the number of drones and grenades you will face. Make sure to take them all out before you move up - fortunately they will not receive reinforcements until you advance down the market.
Tips: An Infiltrator at this point can cloak and dash the full length of the market to the point where it turns a sharp left and nears the bridge described below. Sentinels and Engineers should make full use of chain Overload to destroy Disruptor Drones while simultaneously popping stunned mercenaries out of cover.
As you progress, someone from the crew (either Liara or Shepard's love interest) will contact the Commander and ask if Shepard is okay, explaining that they are on foot but not far and that Joker filled them in. If you were expecting your love interest and it is Liara who contacts you, it may be that your romance is not yet locked in in the main game.
Brooks then cuts in and asks who they are as it is an unsecured channel and they are putting Shepard at risk. The crew member (hence forward referred to as "Crewmate 1") is confused until Shepard says that it is Brooks and orders everyone to play nice. Once you are clear, continue forward and you will find another datapad from EZ meat, and some thermal clips. Grab as many as you can. There is no autosave at this point so it is recommended that you use the quick save or a hard save.
As you head past the large U-Forge-it stall beyond the meat kiosk, get ready to take cover because, you will encounter more enemies and this time they brought a nasty sniper. There are multiple decent cover locations on either side of the U-Forge-it. Just be ready to move quickly if they throw Cluster Grenades: one evasive plan is to retreat back around to the other side passage. Use the available cover, dodge the drones, and take out all of the mercs.
Once you are done, another crew member ("Crewmate 2") will contact you saying they just heard, and that everyone is on the way. In the shop called Ryuisi at the very end of the market you will find a Pistol Power Magnifier and a terminal with 2,250 credits. Here you will also find a second grenade resupply.
Head back out and around to the left. At the end is another stack of credits (1,500) and another datapad from a stall with less than acceptable sanitation standards. At the end is a bridge, locked down of course, but you can bypass it. Before doing so, there is a room to your left with a terminal with more credits (2,250). Also be sure to refill your ammo fully at this point, returning to the market if needed, as you won't be able to return here once you open the door.
Once you start the bypass, the door asks for a C-Sec code, but Shepard's Spectre authorization overrides it. However this also sets off an alarm which alerts everyone to you. Move fast, stay in cover. Crewmate 1 and 2 will both contact Shepard claiming to hear the alarm. Make sure to clean out the area before stepping beyond the door as it seals behind you when you do.
Get to Car Lot Edit
Upon reaching the next area you receive a slightly shorter NavPoint description. Get in cover because you are heavily outnumbered and outgunned. There are both troopers and snipers, appearing initially from an overhead platform, so keep to cover if you can. It might be best to stay near the door that you enter from and pick them off as they try and come around. Remember that you have limited ammo and that pickups are few and far in between. Use powers as much as possible here. Keep them in front of you, prevent flanks and you should be fine. Just remember that headshots are always nice.
Tip: An Infiltrator can again simply cloak and dash down the passage - keep going past the narrowing where another group of troopers emerges, and look for the spot where you can turn right and head through a classic "green button" doorway to relative safety. From that point it's even easy to turn around and "kill your way back" to any items and credits you'd like to pick up - plenty of cover and ammo supplies.
Once you have cleared the way, advance. As you round the corner another wave will appear with another sniper. Once you clear them out, along the right side will be a series of stores with useful terminals, datapads and an Assault Rifle Ultralight Materials mod in the Cepheid Variable (blue sign) store. Grab them all, there will be three sets (each is 1 datapad + 1,500 credits), plus the final grenade resupply of the mission in the pink Van Allen Belts store, and then continue. When the path narrows, be warned there are more enemies coming. This time troopers only, so just keep an eye on the drones, and your ammo. Again using powers can really help you here. Especially if they are the throw-the-enemy-off-the-walkway type.
Once you have finished, Brooks will contact you saying there is a C-Sec shuttle on the way to the lot, and that you need to get there. Head down and to the right, another terminal (2,250 credits) and some much needed ammo await. Head inside the door, and you will find Crewmate 1 holding off two mercenaries, which are quickly dispatched.
Locate Gate Controls Edit
Once you have completed a conversation with Crewmate 1, they will join you as a squadmate and you can now search the car lot to find the control panel to unlock the landing pad door. The cars all have information on them, which you can ignore or investigate. There is a Sniper Rifle Ultralight Materials near the door which you entered from, so don't miss it. There is a terminal with credits (2,250) near a door at the back of the showroom.
As you approach the door to open it, it suddenly locks. Shepard prepares to shoot the lock but your squadmate puts their hand on the gun and pushes it down; the squadmate calmly knocks on the window and politely asks the volus manager to open the door, which he does. The squadmate thanks him and the frightened volus tells them to please leave.
Get to Extraction Zone EditGeth Spitfire. Shepard and the squadmate duck behind cover. Fortunately, help arrives. Urdnot Wrex smashes through a window, slams into the shuttle and crashes it onto the platform; Wrex then heads inside shuttle and cleans out the ambushers. Alternatively, if Wrex is dead or you sabotaged the genophage cure, James Vega shows up with a rocket launcher and shoots the shuttle down. When Shepard asks what Wrex is doing there, he claims to have been butting heads with the Council over krogan expansion. Wrex tosses Shepard the Spitfire (if James is present, Shepard will pick it up) just as another group of mercs pour in.
Because you start in cover and have a full squad, don't forget to level Wrex up - Wrex prefers getting close to the action and takes down enemies with melee, and a fully leveled-up Wrex easily tips the balance towards your side. Obviously, he likes to roam around, and that's an example you should feel free to follow: it's an open area, conducive to rerouting and flank attacks.
The enemies will pour in non-stop from the ceiling in two locations, so you can actually move inside the showroom and set up position in between the two LZ and slaughter them as they come. If you prefer to play things conservatively, the cover you start behind is quite safe, and though a bit obstructed it allows you to slide back and forth between each side of the battlefield.
The Spitfire has 1,000 rounds available, so feel free to be liberal with your firepower. Without absolute constant firing of the weapon, it is nearly impossible to use all the ammo before Joker calls for you to get to the extraction zone.
A good spot to hide is behind the engine pylon of the destroyed shuttle, as this will channel the enemy reinforcements in on you. Be advised that the cars in the lot *can* explode, the spitfire sending them up into fireballs pretty neatly.
Joker and Brooks are on the comm the entire time; Joker has obtained a shuttle, picked up Brooks, and is on his way to you. Once you hear Joker tell you to get to the shuttle, fall back to the extraction zone behind the engines of the destroyed shuttle. Once the squad is on board, Joker pulls away.

Earlier this month, the SEC charged the Chinese affiliates of the big four accounting firms with violating U.S. securities laws. Supposedly, they were enabling Chinese frauds, which were listing in the US in order to abscond with cash in US-listed shell corporations. The SEC de-registered the securities of 50 companies and filed fraud cases against 40 security issuers and executives. How did things get this far? Didn't anyone know? The scale was massive, the capital destruction is in the billions of dollars, and none of the accountants stopped it.
Before answering that question, it is important to understand the role of enforcement agencies and their relationship to crime. They bring criminals to justice and shut down criminal activity after the crimes have been committed. This is a crucial role for the protection of our society, but it comes after victims have been hurt and sometimes ruined. To avoid being a victim oneself, one must be prepared to protect oneself from crime - whether a physical crime or a financial one.
The auditor's Chinese clients had patent inconsistencies between their tax filings in China and corporate filings in the US. They offered little or misleading disclosures about their activities. At the same time, they were accessing the billions of dollars available from US-listed shell companies. At their peak, such companies had a combined market capitalization of over $20 billion. Almost all were frauds. Many were named "China", "Orient", or "Sino" in order to attract the interest of easily duped westerners in search of a connection to China.
As recently as two years ago, a majority of our short ideas were US-listed Chinese frauds. The list includes Orient Paper Inc (NYSEMKT:ONP), China-Biotics Inc. (OTC:CHBT), SinoCoking Coal and Coke (NASDAQ:SCOK), Telestone Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:TSTC), and China Valves Technology, Inc. (OTC:CVVT). Their average performance has been a loss of 92% since the positions were first established. About forty percent of the securities have been de-listed. Others are trading close to zero and are currently out of compliance with the rules governing their exchanges.
What are the lessons that we can draw? Two come to mind. First, investors should not outsource fraud detection to highly conflicted service providers. After establishing our positions, we took our work to one of the US auditors subsequently named in the SEC charges. They understood our concerns, but responded that they get paid a lot by Chinese clients, their competitors were doing the same thing, and the local affiliates use the auditors name but are not technically the same company as the US-based firms. Not comforting.
Secondly, the fastest and most ruthless regulator that fraudsters have to face is the regulation provided by the market itself. Market regulators in the form of short-sellers were actively engaged in primary research into this fraud years before the government regulators took notice. In the intervening years, U.S. investors already took most of the loss that they were exposed to. And during those years, more scrutiny has been directed towards the market regulating short sellers than on the Chinese frauds that the short sellers were uncovering.

Whether it be selling its advisory unit, RSM McGladrey, or attempting to acquire 2SS Holdings, H&R Block (NYSE:HRB) is rightfully starting to focus more on its successful digital and retail businesses. Given my expectations for dramatic changes to the federal income tax code, it is my hope that this focus reinvents the company around a more sustainable model. If simplicity is the way of the future in tax policy, then H&R Block is in for some challenges unless it makes quick changes.
Management plans on unveiling its capital allocation strategy sometime in December. At the first quarter earnings call, CEO William Cobb stated:
Clearly, capital allocation remains very important to us. First, I'd like to point out that we were restricted from buying shares in the most recent quarter due to the ongoing negotiations with M&P. Second, we have an authorization from the board to repurchase shares in fiscal 2012 that we fully intend to utilize.
Following last week's announcement, a recurring question was, "what will you do with the cash from the sale of RSM?" We must be mindful not to get ahead of ourselves by discussing the potential uses of cash until we have definitive resolution on both the pending acquisition of TaxACT and closing on the sale of RSM. We will have more to say about our capital allocation plans on December 8. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Jeff.
While it has always been my belief that management should operate continuously and not on a meeting-by-meeting basis to release news, in this instance, management is making the right decision to wait. This is so for two reasons. First, the company will soon have its credit facility refinanced and its equity restructured. Second, because an approval of the 2SS Holdings acquisition would result in H&R Block gaining a 25% market share against Intuit's (NASDAQ:INTU) 65%, thereby raising the relative importance of share buybacks in the capital deployment strategy.
H&R Block currently offers an attractive dividend yield of 4.23%, although management has indicated that it is now seeking to find an alternative way to grow shareholder value. First quarter earnings were roughly in line with consensus, although it is important to note that nearly all revenue comes from fourth quarter results.
Last tax season proved to be successful with digital return volume up 13.5%. It is likely that expenditures on marketing has increased in this area, since the strategy has worked well in the past. The tax preparer's free 1040EZ program helped traction in the retail segment, while the sale of RSM will improve margins and focus going forward.
As many smaller competitors are likely to sell themselves given tax changes, H&R Block should consider expanding its portfolio through acquisitions. A more global and corporate offering would help de-risk the business while growing scale. While the $287.5M pending purchase of 2SS Holdings will be beneficial if it ever passes, integrating TaxACT into retail is far from the revolutionary change that the company needs.
For around a decade, the stock has gone nowhere due to weak fundamentals and poor adaptation. With respective past and forward earnings multiples of 11.6x and 8.2x, incredible free cash flow generation, and an opportunity to exploit changes in tax policy, the stock is cheap with the market price trading below intrinsic value.
Since the start of 2001, Intuit has more than doubled while H&R Block has only gone up by a third in value. Were it not so large, H&R Block would be a poster activist target yet again. SEC Chairman - turned - activist investor Richard Breeden may have proclaimed "mission accomplished" since stepping down from the board, but that remains very much to be seen for shareholders. The stock has been down by more than one quarter since his campaign began.
Consensus estimates for EPS are that it will grow by 20% to $1.62 and then by 7.4% and 6.3% in the following two years. Analysts currently rate the stock slightly better than a "hold", while I rate it more towards a "buy".
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

This is one of Lovecraft's first short stories, now published as a stand alone book all toghether with a basic biography and a quick abstract. "The Tomb" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft written in June 1917 and first published in the March 1922 issue of The Vagrant. It is the first work of fiction that Lovecraft wrote as an adult. The Tomb" tells of Jervas Dudley, a self-confessed day-dreamer. While still a child, he discovers the entrance to a mausoleum, belonging to the family Hyde, whose nearby family mansion had burnt down many years previously. The entrance to the mausoleum is padlocked and slightly ajar. Jervas attempts to break the padlock, but is unable. Dispirited, he takes to sleeping beside the tomb. Eventually, inspired by reading Plutarch's Lives, Dudley decides to patiently wait until it is his time to gain entrance to the tomb. One night, several years later, Jervas falls asleep once more beside the mausoleum. He awakes suddenly in the late afternoon, and believes that a light has been latterly extinguished from inside the tomb. Taking leave, he returns to his home, where he goes directly to the attic, to a rotten chest, and therein finds the key to the tomb. Once inside the mausoleum, Jervas discovers an empty coffin with the name of "Jervas" upon the plate. He begins, so he believes, to sleep in the empty coffin each night. He also develops a fear of thunder and fire, and is aware that he is being spied upon by one of his neighbours. One night, against his better judgement, Jervas sets out for the tomb on an overcast night, a night threatening to storm. As he approaches the tomb, he sees the Hyde mansion restored to its former state- there is a party in progress, which he joins, abandoning his former quietude for blasphemous hedonism. During the party, lightning strikes the mansion, and it burns. Jervas loses consciousness, having imagined himself being burnt to ashes in the blaze...
About H P LovecraftHoward Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 - March 15, 1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in 'pulp' magazines before he died in poverty, he is now widely seen as one of the most significant 20th century authors in his genre. In high school Lovecraft found his contemporaries were accepting and he formed friendships. He also involved neighborhood children in elaborate make-believe projects, only regretfully ceasing the activity at 17 years old. Despite leaving school in 1908 without graduating - he found mathematics particularly difficult - Lovecraft's knowledge of subjects that interested him was formidable. Throughout his life, selling stories and paid literary work for others did not provide enough to cover Lovecraft's basic expenses. Living frugally, he subsisted on an inheritance that had almost gone in his last years, by which time he sometimes went without food to afford the cost of mailing letters.18 He was forced to move to smaller and meaner lodgings with his surviving aunt. He was also deeply affected by the suicide of his correspondent Robert E. Howard. In 1936, Lovecraft was diagnosed with cancer of the small intestine,19 and as a result he suffered from malnutrition. He lived in constant pain until his death on March 15, 1937, in Providence. In accordance with his lifelong scientific curiosity, he kept a diary of his illness until close to the moment of his death. Lovecraft was listed along with his parents on the Phillips family monument. That was not enough for his fans, who in 1977 raised the money to buy him a headstone of his own inSwan Point Cemetery, on which they had inscribed Lovecraft's name, the dates of his birth and death, and the phrase "I AM PROVIDENCE," a line from one of his personal letters.

Three Ruled Out: Percy Harvin, Ronald Darby, and Robert Woods all missed practice again today and have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Oakland. The good news is all other banged up players were on the field and will likely be available for the game and are listed as questionable. That list includes Marquise Goodwin and Sammy Watkins. Goodwin injured his wrist near the end of yesterday's practice but was on the field with a bandage on the injury. Watkins was on the field which is a good sign that he will play as well. Injury Page.
Watkins Still Has Broken Bone: Sammy Watkins was limited in practice today and Rex Ryan said he looked good and barring any setbacks he should play on Sunday. Offensive Coordinator Anthony Lynn sang a different tune. He said Watkins still has a broken bone in his foot and he's playing through the pain. He only took three snaps in practice and he doesn't know if he will play this week or be able to finish the season. Ryan also said he doesn't think Percy Harvin or Robert Woods will play this week and wasn't optimistic Ronald Darby will play either. Woods was in the locker room with a sleeve on his leg according to the Buffalo News and he said he will be back this season. More injury woes at wide receiver, Marquise Goodwin couldn't finish practice after injuring his wrist. Injury Page.
Watkins On Field: Sammy Watkins was back on the practice field today during individual drills but was back to working on the side with WR coach Sanjay Lal. Also returning to practice were Cordy Glenn, James Ihedigbo, Lorenzo Alexander, and Charles Clay. Ronald Darby and Percy Harvin did not practice, so it looks like an extreme long shot that either player will play on Sunday. The same goes foer Robert Woods who did not practice. On the field, Kevon Seymour is taking the first team reps on the outside in place of the injured Darby. Injury Page.
Practice Squad Move: The team has signed S Shamiel Gray to the practice squad. To make room they placed Joe Powell on the practice squad/injured list. Gray was an undrafted free agent originally signed with the Patriots in 2014. Front Office Page.
Game Preview: The latest must win game is the toughest of all as the Bills travel to the West coast for the third time this year to take on AFC powerhouse Oakland. This is a city where the Bills have not won in 50 years. They did beat the Raiders while they were in Los Angeles. The Bills should be able to move the ball on their defense but slowing down MVP candidate Derek Carr will be a very tough task. Game Preview.
Watkins Sits: It's Wednesday so as usual the injury list is very long as players usually rest their bumps and bruises on the first practice day of the week. Sammy Watkins did not practice today which could be disturbing news. He was scheduled to practice on a limited basis but he ended up sitting out totally with soreness in his foot. It will be interesting to see what he does, if anything, tomorrow. Marcell Dareus practiced on a limited basis with the abdomen injury suffered on Sunday and Mike Gillislee also returned on a limited basis with his hamstring injury. Rex Ryan seems to think both will play on Sunday. Also limited today were Richie Incognito and Preston Brown. They are both new names on the list as is James Ihedigbo who missed practice today. Also sitting out were Robert Woods, Ronald Darby, Percy Harvin, Lorenzo Alexander, Charles Clay, and Cordy Glenn. Each of these players have missed Wednesday practices on a fairly regular basis. Tyrod Taylor was full go but on the injury report with groin soreness. He was limping some during the Jags game and there was a report a couple of weeks ago that he has had ongoing groin issues. Injury Page.
Christian Back: Gerald Christian is back on the Bills practice squad. He has been back and forth between the practice squad, the active roster, and being released. He was last let go last week and will fill one of the two open spots on the practice squad opened up when Dez Lewis and DeAndre Coleman were activated. The other practice squad spot was filled by G Isame Faciane. He was with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and then there practice squad. He entered the NFL as a defensive lineman before switching sides to offense. Front Office Page.
Roster Moves: The Bills have activated WR Dez Lewis and DT DeAndre Coleman off of the practice squad and have placed Corbin Bryant and Walter Powell on injured reserve ending their seasons. Bryant has battled a shoulder injury most of the season and Powell hurt his ankle on Sunday. Lewis is a former 7th round draft pick who made a splash during offseason workouts but fell behind in training camp. Coleman is a big nose tackle who has been on the practice squad all year. The team also filled Seantrel Henderson's roster spot by signing former QB converted to TE Logan Thomas off of the Lions practice squad according to a report by Fox Sports. He is a development project who has upside but doesn't really know how to block yet.
Henderson Suspended: It is now official. The Bills received word today that Seantrel Henderson has been suspended for 10 games for violating the league's substance abuse policy for the second time this year. He has been told to use marijuana in the past to battle his Crohn's Disease. If the Bills don't make the playoffs he won't be able to play until week 6 of next year. The team now will have an open roster spot to use.
A Win Is A Win: Our columnist Tony Bogyo breaks down another win he calls ugly but he will certainly take it like all Bills fans. A big win that keeps the Bills alive in the playoff race. Now is the time for Tyrod Taylor to prove he is a franchise quarterback. Complete Story.
Gillislee Good To Go: Rex Ryan addressed the media on Victory Monday and said that he thinks Mike Gillislee should be good to go this week after missing the Jaguars game with a hamstring injury. He also said LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins got through the game fine. The coach won't estimate if Watkins will get more playing time this week as they want to be smart with him. He said Ronald Darby, Marcell Dareus, and Percy Harvin will be watched during the week. Darby is in concussion protocol while Dareus has an abdominal strain and Harvin is bothered by migraines. Thad Brown of WROC is reporting that Robert Woods is expected to miss another two weeks and they are hoping to have him back for the Cleveland game. Ryan was upset with the red zone defense and the pass protection from the offensive line against Jacksonville.
Gameday Grades: The defense struggled most of the day but made plays down the stretch. The offense was awful early but used a last minute first half touchdown to get them going towards a big home win. Gameday Grades.
Bills Blitz: LeSean McCoy rumbled 75 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the second half to wake the Bills up from a first half slumber. It ignited a second half offensive attack that led to a 28-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Bills did nothing early on as the Jaguars took the opening kickoff and marched down the field to take a 7-0 lead that lasted until McCoy ran it in from 7 yards out just before halftime to get the Bills on the scoreboard. Dan Carpenter's missed extra point had the Bills down 7-6 before McCoy's explosion after halftime. For a 2-8 team the Jags were resilient as they responded to the first two Bills second half touchdowns with TDs of their own to take a 21-20 fourth quarter lead. The Bills final scoring drive ended in a magnificent touchdown grab by Justin Hunter and McCoy's two point conversion gave them the final margin of victory. The defense came up with a fourth down stop and McCoy clinched it with a third down conversion in the final minute. Bills Blitz.
Injury Update: Walter Powell suffered a second half ankle injury and had to get carted off. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game. Ronald Darby took a knee to the head in the first quarter. He walked off wobbly and went straight to the locker room. He did not return as he entered concussion protocol. Marcell Dareus left the game late with an abdominal stain. Rex Ryan hopes it's not serious. Injury Page.
Gameday Inactives: Percy Harvin and Seantrel Henderson are inactive after being listed as questionable for today's game. Harvin has migraine issues while Henderson is facing a suspension. Corbin Bryant is out for a third straight game with his shoulder injury he was listed as doubtful. Mike Gillislee and Robert Woods were ruled out on Friday. Robert Blanton was also ruled out on Friday but he was placed on injured reserve so he doesn't count among the inactives. With Harvin and Wood out the Bills are getting Sammy Watkins back at the right time although he will be on a pitch count. The healthy scratches are Brandon Spikes and Cardale Jones. Jordan Gay is active after being brought back to sure up the kick coverage unit that has slipped in recent weeks.
Harvin Out; Henderson Suspension Coming: Reports say that an old issue for Percy Harving has raised its ugly head and he will not play today. He missed the last two days of practice with an illness. It's now being reported that he is suffering from migraines which is a problem that plagued him early in his career. In other news, Ian Rapoport is now confirming a Jay Skurksi report from earlier this week that Seantrel Henderson is indeed facing a 10 game suspension. He reportedly is appealing it and may take the league to court over it. It is likely he is facing it for marijuana which he is being told by his doctors he should be using for his Crohn's Disease. Right now he is officially not suspended so he could play today but he is listed as questionable after missing two days of practice this week because of the birth of his son.
Gameday Weather: Decent Late November weather for today's matchup at New Era Field. The gametime temperature will be 41° with the winds out of the West at 11mph but diminishing during the game. It will feel like it is in the 30s. No rain in the forecast as the game will be played under partly sunny skies.
For commentary throughout the game follow us on twitter!
Watkins Activated: The Bills have activated Sammy Watkins from the injured reserve-designated to return list. They also have brought back kickoff specialist Jordan Gay once again. To make room they placed Robert Blanton on injured reserve and released TE Gerald Christian. Blanton injured his foot last week in Cincinnati and the Christian would like have been a healthy scratch anyway. Depth Chart.

Portable solar battery chargers
E-LABS INSIDE section
For the solar panel test, which was published in the July 2009 issue, we also asked for a number of smaller solar panels. These small panels are invariably intended to be used as battery chargers when on the road. However, at that time they had to give way to the large number of more interesting and bigger panels. We nevertheless were still keen to take a closer look at these mini panels.

Graduate Profile: Stephanie Bateman, Freelance Equine Journalist
What I do
I freelance for the UK's top equestrian magazines including Horse Magazine, Horse and Hound, Eventing Magazine and Horse and Rider. About 80% of my work is commissioned - so editors email me a brief which includes a topic, a fee, a word count and a deadline. The other 20% involves me sitting down and thinking of ideas to pitch to editors. I particularly enjoy writing about veterinary subjects as I've always found that area very interesting. There's always lots of variety such as writing features for Horse Magazine and event reporting for Horse and Hound.
Why I chose Hartpury
I've always been into horses and that's what attracted me to Hartpury as the facilities were outstanding. Being able to take my horse with me was definitely a bonus! I did a BTEC in science at college and applied for Hartpury. The equine science degree covers a broad base of topics so there were quite a few options: stud management, nutrition and a few of my friends went into massage.
Getting into the industry
One of my lecturers put me in contact with the British Grooms Association who invited me to write for their membership magazine and it all progressed from there. The marketing manager at Hartpury then invited me to write stories on the equestrian events at the College as a two-day-a-week work experience placement and I helped report on the FEI World Para Dressage Championships in 2007 and the Hartpury showjumping Spectacular in 2008. My lecturers also gave me contacts for magazine editors and I did two weeks at Horse Magazine and two weeks at Horse and Hound. About a year after graduating, I got a full-time job with Horse Magazine where I worked for nearly two years as editorial assistant before joining Horse and Rider as assistant editor for a year. Now I'm freelancing.
Using my degree at work
When I did work experience for Horse and Hound they were very impressed with my knowledge of the industry and really rated Hartpury as a high-end equine institution. You're exposed to so many people in the industry at Hartpury such as top coaches Corinne Bracken and Carl Hester, and the training uses the most up-to-date methods and world-class facilities. People in the equine world are impressed by what you are exposed to at Hartpury.
Advice for people wanting to work in the equine industry
You have to knuckle down and do the work; nobody is going to do it for you. It's important not to go to Hartpury and expect to know what you want to do right away. Be open-minded about what is out there. You'll have access to all the different equine areas so talk to other people in the industry. Hartpury will give you great opportunities to meet people and make contacts. Employers want that 'real world' experience; you now need industry experience as well as a degree. Consider going out and getting a job in your summer holidays in an area that interests you, and make sure that you use your time wisely.

Michael Dawson was delighted to play a part as England's World Cup preparations continued on Monday.
The defender stepped out for the first time in England's build-up as a second half substitute as the Three Lions beat South African side Platinum Stars 3-0 in a warm-up match in Moruleng.
'Daws' was untroubled in his 45-minute stint alongside Matthew Upson in England's final action before kicking-off in Group C against the USA on Saturday.
All five Spurs players in the squad played 45 minutes with Ledley King partnering John Terry in central defence and Jermain Defoe up front with Peter Crouch in the first half. Aaron Lennon joined Michael in the second half. JD opened the scoring inside three minutes.
"We've had a good few weeks training and it all starts on Saturday," said 'Daws'. "The first 24 hours since I was called up were a bit busy, but everyone has made me feel welcome.
"I just have to do the best I can, but it was great to get 45 minutes under my belt."
JD was lively in the first half and almost added a second goal when his 25-yarder whistled just wide.
"I've felt sharp in training and from the training camp in Austria," he said.
"It was a good work out. I've always said you've just got to go out there, work hard and do your best and then leave it down to the manager.
"But, to be honest, it's all about the squad. In a major tournament, you need a squad, not just the lads who will start the game.
"It's important that even the lads who come on make a difference. You need that in a major tournament."
