COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) ? Nick Saban came off the field Saturday and sized up the afternoon for No. 1 Alabama.
"It was tough sledding out there today, guys," the Crimson Tide coach said. The thing is, he was speaking more about the weather than the opponent.
"For the conditions, I was pleased with the balance that we had," he said.
Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon gave Alabama a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same game for the first time this season and the duo combined for five scores as Alabama beat Missouri 42-10 in a soggy, lightning-delayed game. The Crimson Tide had a season high 533 total yards and held Missouri to 129 yards ? and just 3 yards rushing.
"Basically the offensive line came out and they dominated," Lacy said. "I mean, every time we made a big run it was because they made a big hole for us."
Center Barrett Jones put it like this: "Probably the best we played all year, given we had a break."
The first matchup of head coaches who were former Kent State teammates was no contest, with Alabama pummeling a team hampered by injuries at quarterback and the offensive line. The defending national champion Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) led 21-0 late in the first quarter en route to their 10th straight victory, all by 19 or more points.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel needed no convincing that the Tigers had been steamrolled by a most deserving No. 1.
"That is maybe the best team I have ever seen," he said.
Alabama did enough things right after the unscheduled break to disappoint the few thousand fans who didn't leave for good during the 38-minute lightning delay. The Crimson Tide were awaiting the extra-point kick for a 28-0 cushion with 8:40 to go in the half after Yeldon's second scoring run when the game was halted.
Missouri's Marcus Murphy set a school single-season record with his fourth kick return for touchdown, a 98-yard kickoff return in the second quarter right after the weather delay.
But the Tigers (3-4, 0-4) have been outscored 126-55 in their first season in the SEC, and have been competitive to the finish in only last week's 19-15 loss at home to Vanderbilt.
The rest of the season, Pinkel vowed that injuries will be no excuse.
"I told our team we have had a lot of issues, a backup quarterback and all this other stuff," Pinkel said. "From this point on, I don't care. We're going to move on and try to finish the season the right way."
Backup quarterback Corbin Berkstresser, a redshirt freshman subbing for injured James Franklin, was 12 for 29 for 126 yards with two interceptions. Missouri has next weekend off and Franklin could return from a left knee strain at home against Kentucky Oct. 27.
Kendial Lawrence had 33 yards on seven carries but Missouri finished with just 3 yards on 28 carries including 53 yards in losses by Berkstresser, 42 of them on a sack-lost fumble at the end of the half.
Lacy had a career-best 177 yards on 18 carries and three touchdowns, including a 73-yarder on the game's second snap, for his second 100-yard game of the year. Yeldon had 144 yards on 18 carries and two TDs, also his second time in triple digits this season.
"The running backs, we haven't had a big run in a long time," Lacy said. "Our plan was to come in and run the ball, we didn't know how successful it was going to be. But as it turned out it was very successful."
Trent Richardson and Jalston Fowler each gained more than 100 yards for Alabama at Mississippi last October.
Alabama remained interception-free on the year after AJ McCarron went 16 for 21 for 171 yards, extending his run to 227 passes without a pick. McCarron showed his toughness, too, staying in the game with a quick wrap after twisting his right knee.
Alabama did not make McCarron available to speak to reporters after the game.
The game was halted after several lightning strikes around Faurot Field. The stands were evacuated just after Yeldon's 15-yard TD run ? the last 5 on a leap for the pylon.
Missouri got some momentum from the unexpected break, but not nearly enough. After play resumed with the extra-point kick, Murphy got the Tigers on the scoreboard with his record-setting kickoff return.
The Tigers were on the verge of slicing further into Alabama's cushion, advancing to the 8 at the end of the half off a fumbled snap by punter Cody Mandell. But Adrian Hubbard stripped Berkstresser on a sack and C.J. Mosley ended up with the ball at the Missouri 49 with two seconds left.
The Crimson Tide quickly took control of the game, converting a blocked punt by Brandon Collins with a 17-yard drive capped by Yeldon's 1-yard run to make it 21-0.
Lacy scored on the game's second snap, cutting back across the field and leaving Kenronte Walker grabbing air at the Missouri 40 on a 73-yard run. Alabama then capitalized on Vinnie Sunseri's second interception of the year, on a ball in and out of the arms of L'Damian Washington. Running a fleaflicker, McCarron hit Kenny Bell for a 44-yard gain to the 6 to set up Lacy's second TD on a 3-yarder.
With rain intensifying, Brandon Collins stormed through the three-man shield untouched on the blocked punt.

Dearest Child
I have looked upon the world, and seen a withering plane.
Dearest child of the night, burning shadow, virulent flame,
I shall not bend to you, nor shall I to utopia?s maze.
Dearest child of the mind, callous creature without soul,
There is more to this world, then what your reason would hold.
Dearest child of the heart, empyrean flower, gentle hand,
I long to see your face amongst this blighted soulless land.
And so I?d venture, through the dark, without a guide, or challenge to face,
I?d see what lays for me among this muddling human race.
I should dearly like a hand, in this blighted soulless land, but there would be no such a hand.
I?m alone with bestial man.
But my senses were roused, by a sonorous sound, an angel?s song, and with its presence I felt again, sweet solace? serenity.~ Nicholas Balstone

Stop Bullying the Compounding Pharmacy | VitalityLogix
In the wake of the meningitis outbreak stemming from theNew EnglandCompoundingCenter?s methylprednisolone, the spotlight is suddenly on this small but important sector of the retail pharmacy market.
Compounding pharmacies specialize in making customized formulations of existing medications to fit special needs of their patients. This ranges from simple customization of a flavored antibiotic mixture for a child or as complex as chemotherapy for sterile infusion into the epidural space (spine). The NECC made a formulation from a common steroid used for spine injection for patients with back pain. This batch became contaminated with fungus and caused deadly meningitis in dozens of cases. Sounds bad, right?
Well, let?s put this into perspective. While this incident is undoubtedly a terrible and unfortunate event (and my sympathies go out to those affected by this event), it pales in comparison to the social and financial cost of Big Pharma?s practices and incidents. Let?s examine a few examples.
Sibutramine (now off the market) was developed as a treatment for obesity and was approved by the FDA, only to be pulled from the market after killing thousands of people from cardiovascular events. This drug underwent the requisite randomized controlled trials (which then became the focus of a Senate committee review) and after several years on the market it was withdrawn by the manufacturer under pressure from the FDA (the same agency that approved it a few years before).
Erythropoetin Stimulating Agents, now at the center of the hot-off-the-presses USADA and federal report of the Armstrong dropping scandal, was developed as a treatment for anemia. It was, and is extremely effective. It reduced fatigue, improved quality of life, improved exercise capacity (and illegally made its way into the bodies of countless athletes, of which Lance Armstrong has been made an example of). The manufacturer reaped the financial rewards of their discovery. Now the drug carries a black box warning (something the FDA puts on a drug to warn prescribers and consumers of its danger) for increased risks of death from cardiovascular events such as strokes, heart attacks and blood clots in a wide range of patients, including those simply undergoing surgery and taking this drug.
Estrogen and Progestin hormone replacement therapy became a popular treatment for menopause in the late 1990s and beyond, until the drug-sponsored Women?s Health Initiative trial, along with a few others, reported increased risks of breast cancer after tens of thousands of women were already prescribed the drug. This led to a black box warning, a very embarrassing and financially costly situation for the manufacturer and had far-reaching implications for menopause treatment henceforth. This drug study is now the focal point for opponents of HRT for women. This study and HRT became a hot topic for compounding pharmacies and Big Pharma.
The Women?s Health Initiative was the study of a single drug that, like most pharmaceutical agents is completely unlike our own innate physiology and therefore exerts adverse events when introduced into the human body. While bio-identical hormones have been around for many years, they are not amenable to patent since the structure is already part of human physiology and thus Big Pharma has little interest in bio-identical hormones as a commercial venture. Bio-identical hormones are largely made by compounding pharmacies into customized, patient specific creams. Big Pharma generally has nothing to gain from this, just like most of the other compounded products. Big Pharma is interested in patents, profits, and protection of their market share. And there is no reason to blame them for this as they are a business and a business needs to profit. However, their business deals with human lives.
In the wake of the negative Women?s Health Initiative and the growth of the compounded bio-identical hormone market (supported by encouraging trials from Europe), extensive lobbying efforts were exerted on the FDA and medical associations to come out against bio-identical hormones and compounding pharmacies as an unsafe alternative to the traditional Big Pharma methods. Claims were made that compounded bio-identicals are not safer than the Big Pharma products (and are often dangerous) and that there is no evidence to support their use. That is (and was) just not true. Large studies have been conducted inEuropeclearly supporting lower breast cancer risks and possibly even null risks in women using bio-identical compounded HRT. The lobbyists, politicians, and many medical groups jumped to support Big Pharma and bully the small compounding pharmacists with faulty claims and skewed evidence.
Yes, the compounding pharmacies need licensing, oversight, and regulation. But when you compare the damage inflicted by compounding pharmacies and Big Pharma, it?s like comparing the populations ofVatican CityandChina.
Compounding pharmacies serve a vital role in the retail pharmacy market and provide a fundamental service for many practitioners and patients alike. How do you treat a cancer patient with mouth sores from chemotherapy that are so bad that he cant even swallow water? A compounding pharmacist developed a pain-relieving and sore coating mouthwash. It can only be compounded. How do you infuse chemotherapy into the spine of a 3 year old child? A compounding pharmacist, under sterile conditions, has to make a formulation for that purpose. How do you give someone with a fear of needles an injectable medication? Compound it into a nasal spray. How do you effectively treat menopause while minimizing the breast cancer risks and providing an alternative to Big Pharma products? Compound bio-identical HRT.
The problem is that compounding offers patients and practitioners an alternative to Big Pharma and that?s bad for business. I?m not blaming Big Pharma ? they have accomplished amazing things and saved countless lives in generally safe ways. But they are an aggressive, highly lobbied and connected business that will attack any and all competition, often to the detriment of patients and practitioners alike.
So let?s put this NECC incident into perspective and treat it for what it is ? an unfortunate sentinel event (defined by the Joint Commission as an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury). According to the Joint Commission website ?Such events are called ?sentinel? because they signal the need for immediate investigation and response.? Rather than bully compounding pharmacies into extinction and financial ruin, this NECC incident should prompt politicians, regulators, and medical watch groups, and medical professional organizations to support compounding pharmacies in developing, instituting and enforcing guideline for safe practice. So let?s stop bullying and start working together to make sure this is a lesson that leads to change and improvement rather than a witch hunt.

Actress who starred in 'Bad News Bears' killed
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Sammi Kane Kraft, whose baseball skills earned her the role of a youth league pitcher in the 2005 remake of "The Bad News Bears," has died in a Los Angeles car crash. She was 20.
The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/RgLEIq ) says Kraft was a passenger in an Audi that rear-ended a big rig and was struck by another car at about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate 10.
Her brother, Frankie Kane, tells the Times that Kane was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The California Highway Patrol says the Audi's driver was treated for moderate injuries and arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
Kraft was 13 when she was discovered on an LA baseball diamond and cast in her only film. She played the role originated by Tatum O'Neal in 1976.

Fusion energy: Mug handles could help hot plasma give lower-cost, controllable fusion energy
ScienceDaily (Oct. 11, 2012) ? Researchers around the world are working on an efficient, reliable way to contain the plasma used in fusion reactors, potentially bringing down the cost of this promising but technically elusive energy source. A new finding from the University of Washington could help contain and stabilize the plasma using as little as 1 percent of the energy required by current methods.
"All of a sudden the current energy goes from being almost too much to almost negligible," said lead author Thomas Jarboe, a UW professor of aeronautics and astronautics. He presents the findings this week at the International Atomic Energy Association's 24th annual Fusion Energy Conference in San Diego.
The new equipment looks like handles on a coffee mug -- except they attach to a vessel containing a million-degree plasma that is literally too hot to handle.
Most people know about nuclear fission, the commercial type of nuclear power generated from splitting large atoms in two. Still under research is nuclear fusion, which smashes two small atoms together, releasing energy without requiring rare elements or generating radioactive waste.
Of course, there's a catch -- smashing the atoms together takes a lot of energy, and scientists are still working on a way to do it so you get out more energy than you put in. The sun is a powerful fusion reactor but we can't recreate a full-scale sun on Earth.
An international project in France is building a multibillion-dollar fusion reactor to see whether a big enough reactor can generate fusion power.
The reactor in France will inject high-frequency electromagnetic waves and high-speed hydrogen ions to sustain the plasma by maintaining an even hotter 100-million-degree operating temperature and enclosing it with magnetic fields.
"That method works," Jarboe said, "but it's extremely inefficient and expensive, to the point that it really is a major problem with magnetic confinement."
For two decades Jarboe's team has worked on helicity injection as a more efficient alternative. Spirals in the plasma produce asymmetric currents that generate the right electric and magnetic fields to heat and confine the contents. Plasma is so hot that the electrons have separated from the nuclei. It cannot touch any walls and so instead is contained by a magnetic bottle. Keeping the plasma hot enough and sustaining those magnetic fields requires a lot of energy.
"We would drive it until it was unstable," Jarboe said of his approach. "Like you twist up a rope, the plasma twists up on itself and makes the instability and makes the current drive."
Results showed the UW strategy required less energy than other methods, but the system was unstable, meaning that if conditions change it could wobble out of control. It's like a stick balancing on one end, which is stable at that moment, but is likely to come crashing down with any nudge. In the case of plasma, unstable equilibrium means that a twist in the plasma could cause it to escape and potentially lead to a costly reactor shutdown.
Instability was a major impediment to applying the UW method.
"The big issue is whether, when you distort the bottle, it will leak," Jarboe said.
By contrast, in a stable equilibrium, any shift will tend to come back toward the original state, like a ball resting at the bottom of a bowl that will settle back where it started.
"Here we imposed the asymmetric field, so the plasma doesn't have to go unstable in order for us to drive the current. We've shown that we can sustain a stable equilibrium and we can control the plasma, which means the bottle will be able to hold more plasma," Jarboe said.
The UW apparatus uses two handle-shaped coils to alternately generate currents on either side of the central core, a method the authors call imposed dynamo current drive. Results show the plasma is stable and the method is energy-efficient, but the UW research reactor is too small to fully contain the plasma without some escaping as a gas. Next, the team hopes to attach the device to a larger reactor to see if it can maintain a sufficiently tight magnetic bottle.
The research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Co-authors are Brian Nelson, research associate professor of electrical engineering; and research associate Brian Victor, research scientists David Ennis, Nathaniel Hicks, George Marklin and Roger Smith and graduate students Chris Hansen, Aaron Hossack, Cihan Ackay and Kyle Morgan, all in UW aeronautics and astronautics.

Worker's injury casts harsh new light on Foxconn and China
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Apple Inc's largest contract manufacturer has been pushing for a Chinese worker left brain-damaged in a factory accident to be removed from hospital in a case that throws a harsh new spotlight on labor rights in China.
Zhang Tingzhen, 26, an employee of Taiwan firm Foxconn, had nearly half his brain surgically removed after surviving an electric shock at a plant in southern China a year ago. He remains in hospital under close observation by doctors, unable to speak or walk properly.
However, Foxconn, which is paying Zhang's hospital bills, has been sending telephone text messages to his family since July, demanding they remove him from hospital and threatening to cut off funding for his treatment - a move the firm says would be justified under Chinese labor law.
Foxconn confirmed it had sent the messages, saying that under Chinese law the worker must submit himself to a disability assessment - a process that in Zhang's case would require him to be discharged from the Shenzhen hospital and travel 70 km (43 miles) to Huizhou, where he was first hired by Foxconn.
The firm said in response to emailed questions that it would be prepared to return Zhang to the Shenzhen hospital after the assessment, though his father said Zhang was unfit to travel and that doctors felt he remained at risk of a brain haemorrhage.
The case has raised fresh questions over the labor record of Foxconn, one of the biggest and most high-profile private employers in China, after a series of well-publicized suicides among its army of around a million workers and recent outbursts of labor unrest.
It has angered labor activists who say Zhang's plight also highlights China's patchy and sometimes precarious welfare system for workers seriously injured in industrial accidents - and point out that there are many workers worse off than Zhang.
"They kept sending me SMSs every day to get my son out of hospital and to appear before an injury assessment body or they will stop paying all expenses, including his medical fees and our living expenses," said Zhang's father, Zhang Guangde.
"You cannot imagine the suffering they put me through, how I had to fight every inch of the way just to get money so we can take care of our son," he added, speaking at his son's bedside at the Number 2 People's Hospital in Shenzhen.
Zhang was repairing a spotlight on an external wall at a Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, bordering Hong Kong, when he received an electric shock and fell four meters (12 feet) to the ground. He has since undergone five operations, has lost his memory, is incontinent and requires careful, regular monitoring.
'ROBBED OF DIGNITY'
Workers who are disabled in workplace accidents and covered by insurance are eligible for compensation payouts, once their disability is assessed and graded by a panel of medical experts. The assessment is done after medical treatment is finished.
Foxconn sent the text messages, and according to Zhang's father at one point briefly halted payments to the family, despite a provincial law stipulating that injured workers can remain in treatment for up to two years before they must be assessed for disability compensation.
Zhang, whose case was alerted to Reuters by labor activists, has been in hospital since October 2011.
Doctors at the Number 2 People's Hospital declined to comment for this article, but Zhang's father, 50, said they had not indicated that he could be discharged and had said they needed to keep his son under observation after implanting a tube in his body to drain fluid from his brain cavity to his bladder.
"The doctor told me they needed to monitor his condition and that for such serious injuries, a person was allowed to be treated in hospital for up to two years. After that, assessors can order treatment to be prolonged," the father said.
Labor activists in China say Zhang is just one of many thousands of Chinese workers who are left permanently disabled or chronically ill by workplace accidents, at the mercy of a system that often requires them and their families to fight degrading battles for treatment funding and compensation.
"China now has laws specifying the types of compensation that are due to workers. But in many serious industrial accidents, companies still put workers or their families through a lot of suffering just to get what is due to them," said Choi Suet-wah of the Chinese Working Women Network in Hong Kong.
"They are robbed of their dignity," said Choi, who has extensive experience working with migrant workers in China.
Zhang is actually one of the lucky ones, social workers say, pointing out that Foxconn has at least been paying his hospital bills and the living expenses of his family, which has moved to Shenzhen from central China to be with him.
They estimate that at least four out of 10 Chinese workers are not covered by any kind of insurance and are left to fend for themselves when seriously injured in the workplace - despite laws requiring all employers to insure their workers.
"This is just one of many, many industrial accidents in China. And you almost certainly never get what you are entitled to, especially in serious cases," Choi said.
WELFARE BORDERS
Foxconn says it is insured against workplace accidents, which means its insurer would meet the cost of a compensation payment once Zhang's disability is finally assessed.
But compensation in China can vary depending on the city in which a worker's disability is assessed - and this, according to Zhang's family, is why Foxconn wants him to travel to Huizhou and refuses to have him assessed in Shenzhen.
Labor activists say wages and compensation levels are all substantially lower in Huizhou than in Shenzhen, one of the most expensive cities in China.
When asked why Zhang could not be assessed in Shenzhen, Foxconn said the law required him to go to Huizhou because he had signed his employment contract there. It added that it was prepared to send him back to the hospital in Shenzhen if the assessors determined that he required more medical attention.
In hospital, Zhang walks unsteadily, holding on to the bed frames of other patients in his shared room and, with a smile, sits down next to his father whose face tightens with emotion.
"He calls me 'mother' and calls my wife 'father'. He can only mimic words you ask him to say, it is meaningless," the elder Zhang said later, holding a jar containing large fragments of his son's cranium. Doctors replaced a portion of Zhang's skull with synthetic bone.
He said that despite Foxconn's funding - a monthly allowance of 11,000 yuan ($1,800) plus treatment costs - the family had racked up 200,000 yuan ($31,800) in debt to pay for medicines not provided by the hospital and other expenses.
Back home in central Henan province, the family was building a house for Zhang's impending marriage when he was injured.
"We were building a three-storey house," the elder Zhang said. "The project has since been abandoned and all the building materials we bought have been washed away by rain. But these workers still have to be paid. My whole life is over."

Based on your condition associated with house, employment standing as well as earnings, you are able to be eligible for a a loan of up to $1500, however some loan companies may lend a maximum of $500. You will have possiblity to discover how much you be entitled to prior to agreeing to virtually any bank loan contract.
There's an essential legitimate big difference between a present and also a loan. A very generous family member or perhaps friend may offer you $5000 regarding auto repairs, for instance. If there isn't any expectation associated with repayment, the amount of money may very well be a present. The actual giver could not take legal action against regarding repayment later inside a city fit. But when the loan provider designates the cash just like a loan as well as the customer will pay back even a buck, the money may very well be a legitimate loan and also the loan provider may demand repayment anytime. Small claims legal courts spend much of period identifying whether the deal including cash would have been a gift or bank loan. Because of this papers is very important when making private financial loans to close friends as well as family members.
The requirements for getting credit are pretty straight forward. In case you are employed, having a month-to-month profits involving $800 or higher, and also have a bank-account, you satisfy the fundamental qualifications. A number of loan providers inside our network may have extra requirements.
Cash financial products are unguaranteed lending products removed upon the next salary. Because they're short-term financial loans, they can be small; different from $100 to $1500 and repayment arrives in your next payday. They might be very useful regarding overcoming a quick monetary crisis, however shouldn't be viewed as a long-term financial option.

Many loan programs are usually addressed through finance institutions or any other professional lenders. They could use a variety of criteria to determine if the potential customer is skilled for a financial loan. Earlier credit rating is nearly always deemed, along with existing earnings and assets. The objective of the borrowed funds may also be a good issue-a established investment possibility might have more appeal as compared to an misguided concept for any new cafe. One essential consideration may be the revenue in order to credit card debt ratio from the client. Could the client have the ability to pay the bank loan back again interest? Skilled loan companies essentially 'sell' money, so customers should be aware just how much funding truly 'costs' in relation to a real income.

Breastfeeding After Breast Cancer? | Clutch Magazine
But, outside of the women who make a decision not to breastfeed, there is also a group of women who would like to, but can?t. Sometimes it?s mechanical and the baby can?t latch correctly. Other times, health reasons get in the way.
Breast cancer survivors are one such group for whom breastfeeding can be a challenge, even long after they?re in remission. Depending on the treatment, some breast cancer survivors will lose the ability to breastfeed any children they have in the future.
But not all.
For example, after mastectomy, if only one breast is removed, women can breastfeed from the other breast.
?If she?s making milk, she has a functional breast,? explains Dr. Virginia R. Lupo, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Hennepin County Medical Center.
However, radiation to a breast or surgery to remove a lump that cuts through the milk ducts may disrupt the ability of that breast to create milk.
?Breastfeeding after surgery also depends on the location of the surgical scars, whether the scars are where the mouth goes,? says Dr. Sharon Mass, an obstetrician-gynecologist in private practice in Morristown, NJ and representative on the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee. ?[But, treatment] doesn?t always preclude breastfeeding.?
Both Mass and Lupo agree that breastfeeding after cancer doesn?t harm the baby. However, the concept of breastfeeding during active treatment, especially chemotherapy, is a concern.

NEW YORK (AP) ? The New York attorney general's office has hit JPMorgan Chase & Co. with a civil lawsuit, alleging that investment bank Bear Stearns ? prior to its collapse and subsequent sale to JPMorgan in 2008 ? perpetrated massive fraud in deals involving billions in residential mortgage-backed securities.
The lawsuit is the first to be filed under the auspices of the RMBS Working Group, which was set up by President Barack Obama to investigate and prosecute alleged misconduct that contributed to the financial crisis.
New York-based JPMorgan said it intends to contest the allegations. Spokesman Joseph Evangelisti noted that the lawsuit relates solely to alleged actions by Bear Stearns prior to its takeover by JPMorgan in May 2008.
In the lead-up to the financial crisis, subprime mortgages were sold to people with less-than-ideal credit. Many of them defaulted on their loans when the housing bubble burst and their introductory "teaser" interest rates skyrocketed.
Because many of those mortgages had been sliced and repackaged as securities that could be bought and sold ? known as RMBS ? the mass defaults led to huge losses at large U.S. banks and other financial firms, helping fuel the global economic meltdown.
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is alleging that Bear Stearns led its investors to believe that the loans in its RMBS portfolio had been carefully evaluated and would be continuously monitored. Bear Stearns failed to do either, resulting in investors buying securities backed by mortgages that borrowers couldn't repay and defaulted on in huge numbers, Schneiderman alleges.
The complaint further alleges that even when Bear Stearns executives were made aware of the problems, the firm failed to correct its practices or disclose material information to investors. The executives routinely overlooked negative findings and continued to package the loans into securities for sale to investors, it says.
Investors have so far lost $22.5 billion on more than 100 subprime securities that Bear Stearns issued in 2006 and 2007, according to the complaint. That's over one-quarter of the original principal balance of $87 billion. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, damages and payment of restitution to investors for "fraudulent and deceptive acts."
"We're disappointed that the NYAG decided to pursue its civil action without ever offering us an opportunity to rebut the claims and without developing a full record ? instead relying on recycled claims already made by private plaintiffs," JPMorgan's Evangelisti said in a statement.
"We will nonetheless continue to work with members of the president's RMBS Working Group and are fully cooperating with their inquiries," he added.
Bear Stearns teetered on the verge of bankruptcy in early 2008 after its two hedge funds imploded, costing investors $1.8 billion and kicking off the domino effect that led to the 85-year-old bank's demise. With the backing of the New York Federal Reserve, JPMorgan bought the ailing investment bank for about $2.3 billion.
