According to a June 2014 article featured in The Independent (UK), a major study conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that women who avoid sunbathing during the summer are twice as likely to die as those who sunbathe every day.
The epidemiological study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and "showed that mortality was about double in women who avoided sun exposure compared to the highest exposure group."
Researchers concluded that the conventional dogma, which advises avoiding the sun at all costs and slathering on sunscreen to minimize sun exposure, is doing more harm than actual good.
That's because overall sun avoidance combined with wearing sunscreen effectively blocks the body's ability to produce vitamin D3 from the sun's UVB rays, which is by far the best form of vitamin D.
In the USA, vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels. Ironically, vitamin D deficiency can lead to aggressive forms of skin cancer. A ground-breaking 2011 study published in Cancer Prevention Research suggests that optimal blood levels of vitamin D offers protection against sunburn and skin cancer.
Additionally, vitamin D protects the body from diseases like multiple sclerosis, rickets (in the young), tuberculosis, inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren's syndrome.
According to the Vitamin D Council, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently reported that "lack of sun exposure may lead to cognitive decline over time."
Bernard Ackerman, MD, (deceased 2008) was one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject of skin cancer and the sun, sunscreens and melanoma skin cancer risks.
Below are Ackerman's views excerpted from an article in The New York Times (July 20, 2004), titled "I BEG TO DIFFER; A Dermatologist Who's Not Afraid to Sit on the Beach":
The link between melanoma and sun exposure (dermatology's dogma) is unproven.There's no conclusive evidence that sunburns lead to cancer.There is no real proof that sunscreens protect against melanoma.There's no proof that increased exposure to the sun increases the risk of melanoma.
A 2000 Swedish study concluded that higher rates of melanoma occurred in those who used sunscreen versus those who did not.
Elizabeth Plourde, PhD, is a California-based scientist who authored the book Sunscreens – Biohazard: Treat as Hazardous Waste, which extensively documents the serious life-threatening dangers of sunscreens not only to people but to the environment as well.
Dr. Plourde provides proof that malignant melanoma and all other skin cancers increased significantly with ubiquitous sunscreen use over a 30-year period. She emphasizes that many sunscreens contain chemicals that are known carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC).
Environmentally, she notes: "In areas where there has been much exposure to ED [endocrine disrupting] chemicals, coral and other sea populations have died off and the prevalence of dual-sexed fish has risen."
Dr. Plourde's research on mice and sunscreen exposure also showed increases in both pup and maternal mortality as well as reproductive issues in subsequent generations.
Additionally, the book documents how sunscreen chemicals have polluted our water sources including oceans, rivers and municipal drinking water. Worse yet, testing revealed that 97% of Americans have sunscreen chemicals in their blood!
Dr. Plourde's book also has a chapter on the importance of vitamin D3 to health, and she posits that the widespread vitamin D3 deficiency is linked to overuse of sunscreen combined with sun avoidance in general.

Happy Thursday and almost holiday weekend! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was celebrating Memorial Day Weekend last year in the Hamptons – where has the past year gone?! So, in honor of celebrating the change of seasons, I thought I would style my newest white dress from Abercrombie + Fitch. I paired the dress with a light-weight navy leather jacket – perfect for cooler nights – and some of my favorite accessories. For more summer style inspiration, make sure to follow me on Pinterest because I'm pinning fashion and beauty inspiration every day! (Check out my Summer Style board here!)
Also, I just back to NYC from my long vacation in Arizona and Vegas, and I cannot wait to share the overload of travel and outfit posts coming your way in the next couple of weeks! Stay tuned! xo

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and I'm all for variety in this meal. Most of the days I consume smoothies, acai bowls, overnight oats and chia pudding or avocado toast for breakfast. However, some days I just feel an uncontrollable need to eat something spicy and that's when I cave in and make something like I did today.
In no ways am I saying that you should restrict this dish for breakfast. Have it for lunch or dinner by all means.

Before she leaves, though, it is paramount to help her understand her finances and what adult life will have in store. Here are a few tips to include in the conversation to help your child become a financially responsible adult:
1. Save
A penny saved is a penny earned, but more importantly, a penny that could be used to grow into a small fortune one day. Savings is an important part of any adult's life as it helps to steer clear of purchasing on credit and racking…

When you first decide to make health and fitness a priority in your life, you're on a roll. You've filled your kitchen with healthy food, your activewear is on point, and you feel inspired. You're ready to go. But then, something happens.
Maybe you get scared. You hit a road bump in nutrition. You find that you're spending too much money on food or a gym membership. You have to travel out-of-town and leave your routine. Or you get bored. All of these things are barriers that can hold you back from achieving your goals. However, they do not have to stop you.

I can't blame people for asking me this. Everyone (or most people) want to travel. But not everyone can. And if I hadn't taken the appropriate steps I wouldn't be able to either.
First things first, here is how I am NOT funding my travels: Apart from the odd small money nudge like birthdays, christmas etc… my parents, family and friends do not give me a dime for my globe trotting. If you don't know already, I come from a single low-income family. When I'm not at uni, I live with my Mum, a clothes maker, and my Aunt, a hospital secretary. This does mean I receive quite a generous bursary each month as well as the highest possible student loan the government offer. I understand not everyone is a student so hopefully my advice below is for everyone and not just a select few! There is no company sponsoring…

"Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is….and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong." – Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm
Sacrifice is a word that just about sums up my mother's life. Trying to describe her is a bit like trying to describe a beautiful colour, nearly impossible! Nevertheless, I want to honour my mother by telling some of her story – or I should say my experience of her as her daughter. Mom was tough, very strict in many ways. Yet, she was always fair, and often very soft-hearted, though she did her best to hide it. She raised nine children in a small house without running water or such luxuries…

For people who are under the clutches of Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia – Serious Mental Illness!!!
Identity, two poles apart
Misconstrued and misunderstood like a mirage
Walking with melancholic thoughts in a hostile surround
Reeling with joy carelessly in the limits unbound
Finding nemesis in the thin air of uncertainty
Relinquishing the bottled up illusions in a canopy of dreams
Like puppets of the unprecedented world leave traces of the stalking ghosts
Loneliness, thy fatal companion conjures the violent outboast
Truth, a bizarre lies gallops through a rampant forest
A silhouette untamed, unchallenged controls the mind so torrid
The thunderbolts and the lightning reluctant to cease
Rain of tranquility rescues the mind from the cancerous disease
A world so bright, serene and unruffled, a reality on canvas
Patience and perseverance, the trusted colors to overcome the uncouth past
Boisterous, blasphemous and unabashed the soul quenches a parched mind
Intoxicated with…

The difference lietween 100 and 175 pounds, great as it is, by no means accurately measures the difference; between the standards of living among tho middle and poorer classes the two countries. The wealthy classes consume, it is safe to assume, as much as do tho similar class in our own country, or say, at a rough estimate, 25 of the 100 and 175 pounds respectively. There remains 75 pounds to be divided among tin? English middle and poorer classes, while 150 pounds are left to the corresponding classes in the United .States. Of these amounts the Englit'i middle class consumes, my 25 pounds, and the currosiKmding claws hero 35 pounds, leaving 115 pounds for tho poorest classes in the United States and only 50 pounds to the poorest classes in England. With this modification of the statistician's figures the comparison is a significant contrast of tho plenty here and scarcity abroad, particularly among the working people. THE TARIFF BILL OF 1890. Kvcry Protectionist Should Imlonu) It at Uie PulU Not. 4. The tariff bill of 1890 has received the president's signature. The Free-traders have delayed its final passage as long as possible, but the pledge of 18S8 has finally been fulfilled by a Republican congress. Tho bill will not satisfy every Protectionist from Maine to Texas, but, all things considered, it is tho best tariff legislation we have over known. It will reduce the revenue by at loaBt $50,000,-000, and it will keep at home another ijir>0,000,000 to be used in the development of new industries. To have framed and passed snch a bill-a bill partial to uo interest or locality, but for the interests of the labor and industries of the whole country-required no little understanding, tact, judgment and courage. All honor then to the ways and means committee and its able chairman, to the finance committee and to the Republican party. The bill should be accepted in good faith by all. The business men of the mntry will rejoice that it has at last become a law. Manufacturers and farmers alike will be protected, and each will enhance the interests of the other. The importers will not be pleused, neither will foreign nations. This is the greatest tribute that could be paid the work of our national legislators. And now we ask every Protectionist to in-dovee the bill at the polls on Nov. 4. Pulluw the example set by the voters of the First Maine district. Show Messrs. McKinley and Aldrich and their associates that their work is approved. Do not simply elect Protectionist congressmen, but make their majorities emphatic, as did tho voters of the Pine Tree state. Give Free-tr^le such a set back that it will not again come to the surface for a generation, if ever, in this country, which was born, nourished and thrives through tho l�ueficent effects of Protection.

Wood Davis in Tlio Forum shows how in a very few years we may have no need of u foreign market for any of our agri cultural products: Assuming the substantial correctness of the estimates of area by the department of agriculture, and that home re~ quiremenU will be such as to employ 3,15 acres per capita, the answer to the question, When will tho farmer be prosperous? resolves itself into a calculation as simple as the following: Acres. Januury. lKM.a population of 7-',000,000 will require in Htaple crops an area of 2^0,800.000 Area now employed In growing such crops _______ . .210,000,000 Addition tp Ito mado to mich area iu four years ..... 13.000.000 223.000,000 Acreage deficit January, 188-1...... 3.800.000 This deficit should l>o sufficient to neu trnlizc uny possible underestimate of tho area now in cultivation. Does not the evidence adduced show that before this decade is half spent all the products of the farm will be required at good prices, that lands will appreciate greatly in value, and that the American farmer will enter upon an era of prosperity, the unlimited continuance of which is assured by the exhaustion of the arable areas? >ve traiwferred their hovel* out of jumjH'r puupentwe J from th� oJiiMUJOuee, ami wo haw ttimed theb Mgalnto robaa; we have ��, Mad ouU� lata naJucea: oi ,1W Madirpafriqttu, HpfctmlltJ'inwi COI^SUMpTrON OF MEATS, pnspaurHen Beawaeu Kna/laud and th� Volt*d 8 la Us.

From n symi>osinrn in The Voice of-Sept. 18 we take the following on Protection, by Edward H. Aruuiidown: The object of Protection is to develop and diversify our industries, and thereby not only to provide occupation for every variety of talent, bnt a home market for every product which the 'boundless natural resources of the country can supply. Thb greater the diversity of our udustries and the larger their output the more beneficial they are to our people of all classes and the lower the cost of production. The irresistible law of competition will level down prices to onsumers to the lowest scale at which any product can be ufforded with the same average profits that attend other pnrsnits. Pi otectiye legislation looks to the employment of labor at rates fitting tho ilignity of American citizenship. It looks to tho creation and maintenance of a homo market for the products of the soil, free from charges for long transportation and from the uncertainties of distant markets. The census and the national bureau of statistics prove that it has accomplished these purposes; that the people have been employed at liberal wages, and the products of the soil have been provided with a home market. Notwithstanding the vast area of our farms and the numbers employed on them, which are ut least double those engaged In any othor fonn of industry, our agricultural products are substantially consumed at home, at prices which are on the average for the whole country higher than are received by the farmers of nny other part of the world. This result is secured by tho development of American industries under Protection. A Lenon hi Cuqio and Effect. This country has but one-twentieth of the world's population, but it consumes 28 per cent, of the world's crop of sugar, 30 per cent.* of the wurld's production of coffee, ueurly one-third of the world's production of iron, about a third of the world's steel and copper, more than a quarter of the world's cotton and wool, a third of the india rubber of the world, and more than half ol the world's snpply of tin and 40 per cent, of all the coal ! from the world's mines. The reason that this country consumes so much Is that it has the wherewithal to pay for it, and the reason it has the wherewithal is because it has protected and diversified its industries. - I The old time watchmaker has gone to join the old time shoemaker.

(Special OorreHtiouiU'nee.] New York, Ont. 8.-Tho New Yorker who notices n hole in tho sidownlk should go directly to Mayor O rant and tulk to hfm abont it. It is a return to the simplicity of our forofathers. Let him go to tho mayor's ofllce, and he will find three or four pol'ccmcn In the anteroom. The proper way to do is to walk past thorn,Baying nothing. They may objoot, and try to stop him, bnt an American cititen Bhould not submit to dictation-unless he has to. Probably ho may have to. Then he can send in his name, or his card, if he has one. Any card will do. The mayor is somewhat of a joker, nnd will take evou the right bower. After the caller guts in ho will probably bo intercepted by the mayor's secretary, who will try to save his honor from the annoyance of listening. The citizen, however, should reJuso to tell anybody but the mayor what ho has to say, and ho will bo pleased to fiud how patiently the mayor will listen. That is really what ho was j!e�tod for, of course. As a matter of faot the mayor is one of the most easily accessible of nil the public men iu tho city. Tho policemon in tho outer room and his vigilant secre tary are tho only barriora In anybody's way, and it is easy to pass them If ono lnia any thing like a reasonable pretext of business. I Probably the most difficult to see of nny man in New York, when ho is in New York, is James Gordon Bennett. 1 worked for him ton years, and novor saw him but twice iu that time, onco by accident and once when I was sent to him by the managing editor of The Her-ald. As nearly as 1 could judge by wliat 1 saw and heard in those ten years Mr, Beunett is absolutely indifferent to tho demands or the desires of othor poo-ple who have occasion to see him. It is said that he once refused to see a committee from a workingmon's convention who called on him to offer him the nomination to tho mayoralty. Probably there Isn't another man in thexountry who would do that Moreover Mr. Bennett 1b enabled to dodge, and does dodge, the people who wait to see him by the labyrinthine facilities of The Herald office. There are three entrances known to the public, and I havo known process servers to wait twenty-four hours watching all three, having learned that he was in the building. They didn't catch him. They didn't know that there is n subterranean passage from The Herald building to the Bennett building, which stands � block away and fronts on three Btreets. Mr. Bennett knew it, however, and ho fully appreciates the advantages the paswtge affords. J. W.

We love Sketches. Their erratic rhythms, intelligent guitars and anthemic-indie vocals of Bleed Victoria and Your Name Upon It have been all over Amazing Radio in the last few months. The track above is Lovers, Liars (a sneak preview of what to expect on their forthcoming debut album?) We hope so.
So... the inevitable first question, why the name SKETCHES?
The name kind of came from the fact we could never complete anything we were wholeheartedly happy with. We are trying harder these days and we're almost there but I think the name will still be the same.
How would you describe the band's sound to our listeners, I'm gonna shoot at dark, power groove indie rock?
That sounds rather sinister but it's quite true I guess. Dark, unfashionable pop??
All your songs seem to have that great combination of a strong beat but with melodic and dramatic melodies above it, has this always been the band's sound and direction?
We've always wanted a lot of rhythmic interest in our songs. Bands like Police have been quite an inspiration for us. Their verses are just as interesting as their choruses because there is so much going on under the melodies. Nothing seems to be left as an afterthought. We try and do something similar. Melody is primary, but there can be a lot more to play with beneath it if you wish.
What have been your highlights as a band so far?
We played at Leeds and Reading Festival last year which is definitely a highlight so far. We've had the pleasure of meeting some great people over the past couple of years too. We supported The Thermals on a UK tour of theirs which will be hard to forget and the tour with Tellison this summer was a lot of fun. Any time we play in Scotland is a highlight, we don't know why exactly, but it just is.
I know you guys met in Leeds and are based there, what's your take on bands who feel the need to be in London as opposed to the North, do you think it's hard to break into the South?
London has its benefits but certainly now, a band in the North has just enough opportunity to make a name for itself. London can swallow you up and spit you out. Some of our favourite bands are from the North; Wild Beasts and Everything Everything to name a couple.
Speaking of Leeds and gigging, are there any other emerging artists you would recommend to our listeners?
Leeds has always had a great music scene for as far as we can remember. Look up Sam Airey who has just put out his first single The Blackout and a band called Aviaries. They have a kind of eighties tinge to their music which is brilliant.
As we're the home of new and emerging music, if you were to give one piece of advise to a new band what would it be?
Do. your. own. thing.
How was your experience at The Amazing Sessions studio?
Wonderful. The tea was hot, Chris was already a fan of John our drummer through an upcoming YouTube sensation and Sainsbury's was only a short walk from the studio.
Lastly what's next for Sketches in the coming months?
We begin work on our debut album next week. You will be able to keep up to date with all progression and likely regression through words and pictures at sketchesmusic.co.uk.

Raymond Myles and the Rocky Road to Redemption
Myles's otherworldly voice, choir direction and transcendent pianism -- not to mention his wild stagecraft, the sequined suits and the flowing Jheri-curl -- struck some as the second coming of Little Richard. But Leo experienced a prophet. He vowed to devote himself to helping Myles deliver his message to the wider world.

framing nail went throug PVC pipe
the tip of a framing nail went through PVC pipe and it is nearly impossible to replace the pipe because it is immediately near concrete coming out of the floor. the nail is fastening a stud to a PT sole plate right next to the PVC pipe.
i can take the tip of the nail out but there will be a small hole. am i better off leaving the nail in ? if not, is there some compound i can use to patch the small hole in PVC ? it is also nearly impossible to fit a fernco sleeve over it.
a photo or two would really help here. are you sure the nail went all the way through the pipe? if so, you will undoubtedly end up with a leak, so yes, i believe it will need fixing. lucky for you we have some real geniuses here!
Either way, it can be patched via an epoxy compound. You can buy it at Home Depot.
Long term solution is to replace that section though.
If it isn't a pressure pipe you are in luck. There is patching material at your local big box stores or local specialized plumbing store.
And next time watch were you aim that gun.....8-}
it is not under pressure. just a drain pipe. THANKS GENTS !!
epoxy will work and also you could cut a piece of a bicycle tub and cover the hole with that and wrap a hose clamp over that and then tighten it.
darn smart thinkin' Bob! simple and cheap!
Put a fernco on it and it won't look so cobbled up. You will have to cut the pipe or the rubber bushing in two to get it on.

The McNeese State football team makes its first visit to LSU's Tiger Stadium on Oct. 16, 2010. The Cowboys will make a return trip in 2015. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Monday, April 21, 2014 4:33 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
It's one thing to get invited to the castle, it's another to get asked back.
Yet McNeese State has not only been invited back into one of college football's kingdoms but also to play inside the castle that is Tiger Stadium.
Last week it was announced that the two teams will open the 2015 season in Baton Rouge.
It is an honor for the Cowboys, but it is also one they have earned.
If you don't think the Tigers and those who run things over there don't think much of McNeese then you have no idea what is going on.
When Tyrann Mathieu was kicked off the LSU team and searching for a new football home, it is said that Tiger officials did more than just suggest McNeese might be a soft landing.
They all but drove him over for his visit.
Mathieu decided to stay at LSU and we all saw how that worked out for him.
Still, the point is there must be some type of a relationship between programs for McNeese to even be considered.
Now this.
McNeese became the first FCS level state school to play LSU when it lost back in 2010. Only Northwestern State has followed.
On that night, the Cowboys lost 32-10 but did hold the lead and did anything but embarrass themselves.
That is probably part of the reason LSU was willing to talk about a rematch so quickly.
"I think it is a compliment to the type of program (head coach) Matt Viator runs here and what type of a school we have," said McNeese Athletic Director Bruce Hemphill.
Viator calls playing in Tiger Stadium an honor, one he is happy to exploit on the recruiting trail.
"We use anything we can, but yes it helps to say we play teams like LSU and Nebraska," Viator said.
McNeese opens its season this fall against the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, showing it doesn't look to duck people.
"We like to play in those big, traditional venues," Viator said.
When it comes to the lower level of college football, McNeese's tradition stacks up pretty well. That might be one of the reasons that teams are willing to play the Cowboys.
"The game with LSU is just a continuation of what this program has done historically," Hemphill said. "McNeese football has a good reputation throughout the country and we want to keep building on that.
"For this I think you have to again give credit for what Matt and his people have done since they got here and those before him."
McNeese has clearly built a solid relationship with the state's football giant.
"I know for a fact they have respect for what McNeese does as a program and a school," Hemphill said. "They have been willing to help us out and work through things so both sides can benefit."
While it seems like an easy on-field win for the Tigers, who the last dozen years have become one of college football's true powers, it is even a bigger win for McNeese.
The Cowboys get invited to play with the big boys while others must can only watch.
And that's just not a win thanks to the paycheck.
LSU will give McNeese exposure not only nationally, but more importantly, within the borders of Louisiana. These days that helps.
It also could be a benefit long term.
With some of the mega schools and mega conferences saying they might not play lower level programs in the future, it's good to have one of the biggest on your side, or at least knowing who you are.
You also want as many people in your corner when the final seats are being filled and all the new divisions are starting to be made up.
Of course, playing well at LSU one week and getting a call back from them for another game doesn't mean McNeese is ready for the SEC, or even the Sun Belt.
"There is absolutely no correlation between getting the game and anything that is going to happen in the future," Hemphill said.
Still, playing games against Nebraska and LSU, and beating South Florida like McNeese did last year sure should not hurt.
"That will be a completely different process," Hemphill said.
So maybe this is just one of those things were everything falls into place and McNeese gets the win.
And maybe LSU has great respect for McNeese that it is willing to lower the draw bridge to its castle for yet a second time.
It really doesn't matter why, it only matters that they are willing to play the Cowboys.
For that, McNeese should say thanks but also remember that rewards, like respect, are earned.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The road to the Women's College World Series begins this weekend across the nation as 64 teams will square off at 16 sites in NCAA Regional play. Fifth-seeded and No. 2-ranked Tennessee (54-5) will serve as host of the Knoxville Regional for the third consecutive season beginning on Friday, May 18, as the Lady Vols will face Furman (21-34-1) at 5 p.m. ET. North Carolina (45-19) and Winthrop (48-16) will kick off the four-team, double-elimination event at 2:30 p.m. ET at Tyson Park.
The Orange & White maintain an 18-9 overall record in four previous NCAA Tournament runs and an 8-4 mark in NCAA Regional action. UT has swept through its last two regionals in Knoxville (2005, 2006) by totaling a perfect 6-0 slate. Last season, Tennessee defeated Tennessee Tech (6-4), Virginia Tech (9-1, five inn.) and Louisville (8-1) to advance on to face Michigan in the NCAA Super Regionals.
The Lady Vols boast a perfect 4-0 record against the Furman Lady Paladins. The two squads last met at the Charleston Southern Tournament in Summerville, S.C., on March 5, 2005, with Tennessee recording an 11-0 (five inn.) victory on the way to the tourney title. The Big Orange have battled Furman just once in Knoxville back on April 18, 1998, with UT prevailing 8-2.
Under the guidance of head coach and former Lady Paladin player Dana Jenkins, Furman earned an automatic bid into the tourney field of 64 and its first-ever NCAA postseason trip with a surprising run to the SoCon Tournament championship despite entering the event as the seventh seed in an eight-team league. In possession of a 21-34-1 record, the Lady Paladins have gotten on a roll at the best possible time having won five of their last seven contests entering NCAA play. The offensive stats aren't gaudy as Furman is hitting only .240 as a team with 23 homers while scoring 3.5 runs per contest. In comparison, the opposition has registered a .285 average and 4.4 tallies per game. Sophomore Amber Kiser has led the offense in batting average at .316 while registering a school-record 46 runs scored to go along with five triples, three HR's and 19 RBI. Senior Megan Jaudon (six HR's, .278 average, 24 RBI), freshman Lana Mackey (five HR's, .288 average, 28 RBI) and sophomore Stephanie Cushing (five HR's) have provided the pop for the Lady Paladins with 16 of the squad's 23 total round trippers. Cushing possesses a team-best 45 RBI despite owning just a .240 batting average. Mackey has also contributed in the circle with a 2.87 ERA and a 9-13 mark in 136.2 innings. Junior Blake Murray has seen the most time on the rubber with 155.2 frames of work, a 10-17 record and a 3.24 ERA. Sophomore Vanessa Williams has been in a supporting role by recording a 3.99 ERA and a 2-4 mark in 66.2 innings. Furman's defense has committed 86 errors on the season (.950 fielding percentage) to help a staggering 72 unearned runs cross the plate for the opposition.
Despite being picked fourth in its league in the preseason, Winthrop surprised everyone by rolling to 48 wins and the Big South Conference title. In his 18th season as head coach of the Lady Eagles, Mark Cooke has guided Winthrop to 503 victories in his career and 13 wins in its last 15 games in 2007. The Garnet & Gold have hit the ball exceptionally well this year by tallying a .321 team batting average, 374 runs scored and 47 home runs. Sophomore Lisa Kingsmore is leading the squad at .403 with 11 doubles and 32 RBI, while senior Jenny Scrymgeour has established a new school-record for RBI with 58 to go along with a .352 average and seven round trippers. Senior Laura Hill (.358, nine HR's), sophomore Tessa Thomas (.369, eight HR's), junior Stephanie Reid (.330, nine HR's) and sophomore Mallory Hogan (.308, seven HR's) have recorded 33 of the squad's 47 big flies. Freshman Megan Evans has served as the team's No. 1 in the circle with a 25-7 record and a 2.14 ERA in 179.2 innings. Another rookie, Cari Woolridge, has also posted a 15-4 record with a 3.05 ERA in 144.2 frames, and junior Izzy (Jacqueline) Trottier has hurled 99.2 innings with a 2.81 ERA and an 8-5 mark.
The North Carolina Tarheels will be venturing to their sixth NCAA Tournament, all since 2001. UNC is the only opponent at the Knoxville Regional that UT has already faced during the 2007 campaign as the Big Orange downed the Carolina Blue & White, 2-1 in eight innings, at the Carolina Classic in Chapel Hill, N.C., back on Feb. 10. The Tarheels are hitting .261 as a team with 33 HR's while recording 4.3 runs per contest. UNC's pitching staff and defense are limiting the opposition to just a .225 clip and 2.4 runs per game but have allowed 40 round trippers. Sophomores Emily Troup and Brianna Brown currently head the offensive attack average-wise at .348 and .343, respectively. Juniors Jennifer Jacobs (.283, team-high 39 RBI) and Cassie Palmer (.274, 23 RBI) have supplied the power with seven HR's each, while senior Anna Evans has five HR's and 33 RBI despite her .242 batting average. Sophomore Lisa Norris has been the ace in the circle for the Tarheels with a 1.94 ERA, 23 complete games, a 24-12 record and 229 strikeouts in 227.1 innings. Sophomore Amber Johnson has served as a high-quality second choice by posting a 14-6 record with a 2.08 ERA and 162 K's in 158.1 frames of work. UNC has been relatively solid in the field with a .972 fielding percentage and 50 errors in 64 contests.
No. 2 Tennessee will open its NCAA Regional run against Furman at 5 p.m. ET on Friday, May 18, at Tyson Park. Live stats will be available through utladyvols.com, and periodic updates will be provided to the Lady Vol Hotline at 865-974-8700 (box #6). UT's run in the NCAA Tournament will be broadcast live by The Sports Animal (99.1, 99.3 FM, 990 AM, through utladyvols.com via Yahoo Sports) with the "Voice of the Lady Vols" Mickey Dearstone on the call.

I just finished my last class for beginning agility. I passed with flying colors!!!!!!!!! We got to run an entire course tonight. Mommy lost her clicker while she was running to keep up with me. And then she lost her glasses. I would have done even better if she wouldn't have screwed up. ;)
We got certificates too! Mommy said she's going to frame it. Or at least put it in my scrapbook.
I'm so excited! Well, first I need to nap, then I'll be excited. And I'm going to do intermediate agility too. I can't wait until that class starts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha. I've been worrying mommy lately. See, I'm a super picky eater. When I was a baby and mommy first brought me home, she bought me some dry food and tried to get me to eat it. Nope! I went DAYS without eating. Mom thought I'd eventually get hungry and give in, but nope. I literally went 5 days before she finally bought me some canned food. Ever since then, I've eaten canned food, with a little dry thrown in. Mom leaves out dry food so I have something to munch on, but I won't eat it consistently.
With the recent rash of food recalls, Mom and I are left with no canned food options. Either the ones I've eaten have all been recalled, I don't like the brands (and refuse to eat them), or Mom doesn't think they are nutritionally good for me. So, we're back to dry food. Mom has been trying several different brands, and we found 2 that I like, and will eat, just not enough to keep me healthy. We sent a call out to our Dogster friends about what to do now. The great pups sent back lots of advice and Mom tried some of it. Here are the results:
Putting some chicken broth over the dry food - Mom did that 3 times. I refused to eat it every time.
Putting some tuna on top of it - Refused to eat it
Putting some yogurt on top of it - refused to eat it
Putting some cottage cheese on top of it - first time ate all of the cottage cheese and most of the dry food. The other 2 times, just licked the cottage cheese off the top of the food. See how sneaky I am?
Mom even made a concoction of dry food, tuna, and yogurt and mixed it all up. I refused to eat it.
Last night, Mom decided to try her hand at making something for me. So, she sauteed some carrots, celery, and zuccini and then added some chicken. After the chicken was browned, she poured in about a quart of stock, and added some brown rice and then let the rice cook. It was kind of like a thick puppy soup. She put it in the freezer to cool it off, and then gave it to me. I wasn't sure about it at first, but then I ate almost all of what she gave me. She was so happy!!!!!! I just hope she doesn't try to add any dry food to it. :)
The funniest thing is that when I'm at daycare, they put a little bit of water on the dry food that mom sends with me. And I eat it. Not a lot of it, but I still eat. But, if mom tries that - NOPE! It's fun making mommy frustrated. ;)
Mommy said that she was going to try her hand at some other recipes. I hope I start getting home cooked meals now. I'll have to just keep being picky. BOL. Mom did say something about supplements and she wasn't sure that what she made had everything I needed. She thinks that in tonight's meal (which is leftovers from last night) she might add some cottage cheese and flax seed. Good thing I like those 2 things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everypup! I have been super busy lately. I'm doing agility training, which I LOVE. One of mommy's friends came to the last class. I love her. It was super fun. I love to run through the tunnels and jump. And bark at the other doggies. I sound mean, but I'm just letting everyone know I'm there, and to stay away from my mommy. I'm super protective of her.
But, last week was a super busy week. Wed was agility. Thursday I was tired and recovering. Friday was daycare, then mommy and I went right from daycare to my granparents' house where there are 8 doggies to play with!!!! Then Saturday, mommy, grandma, and I went back up to Madison and I had a photo shoot. Mommy set up an appointment for me to have my picture taken by a professional photographer. I was a little nervous, but not super scared. The photographer's husband was the assistant, and I'm not too sure about men. I didn't like him touching me too much, but he did give me yummy treats. :) I got to play, and sniff around. And mommy even took some pictures with me. I wasn't scared at all when mommy was in front of the camera with me. We haven't seen the pictures yet, but mommy can't wait. They should be super cute!!!!!
After the photo shoot mommy and grandma had to run a couple of errands, and then we went to PetsMart. I love it there! But, since I was tired, I was kind of cranky. Mommy was buying treats anyhow, but she had to open the bag while we were still in the store so I'd be quiet!! Ha ha. I knew she'd eventually cave. :) Then it was back down to grandma's house where I played some more, and helped mommy feed llamas and ducks. I herded/chased the ducks. And then I was nipping at the llamas when they were naughty. They kept trying to eat the duck food while mommy was feeding them. Mommy was proud that my herding instincts were coming out. Then we all went for a walk with mommy and grandma. Even though I'm a city girl, I like to spend a little time in the country. It's fun to run through the grass and play with the other animals. There was a little altercation with my sister, her daughter, and me, but I'm ok. I only got a couple of scrapes on my back paws and thigh. Luckily I'm a tough girl and fought back hard. :) But mommy was worried and carried me back up to the house and checked me out. Then I got to lay between mommy and grandma on the big electric blanket. I got totally pampered. I even got to sleep with grandma in the big bed on the pillows.
Sunday, all the doggies and I were tired and spent a lot of the day sleeping. Of course there was some play time, but it was mostly sleeping. Then I got to go for a walk with my brother Bart, and my best friend Zach. That wore us out and we all slept some more. Mommy and I came home Sunday night, and I was exhausted. I slept all night Sunday night, and then had daycare Monday. Then I got to visit my friend Riley. I just wanted to lie down, but he wanted to play, so I played a little bit, but then laid down. Once I finally got home, I ate some dinner and went to bed and slept ALL night long. Luckily mommy doesn't have anything planned for me today, so I get to stay home and sleep all day. And then cuddle with her when she gets home from work. Whew! I need my rest for agility class tomorrow!!!!!!
I hope all of my pup friends out in Dogster land had a great Easter and a happy Passover!!!!!!
PS - Mommy's arm is doing even better. She only has 5 more degrees to go before she can straighten it all of the way. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every week after her physical therapy, we do a happy dance for the progress she made.

I invite you to participate in a new dream for humanity, one in which all of us live in harmony, truth, and love. In this dream, people of all religions and philosophies are not just welcome, but respected. It doesn't matter whether you believe in Christ, Moses, Allah, Brahma, Buddha, or any other being or master. Each one of us has our own beliefs, our own point of view. There are billions of different points of view, but it's the same force of life behind each one of us. If you feel the truth in these words, then I invite you to open your heart and help me to change the world. Of course, the first question is: How are you going to change the world? The answer is easy. By changing the world that exists in your head. You cannot change the world if you don't change your own world first. The change begins with you, and the easiest way to change your world is to practice these Five Agreements:
Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. Be skeptical, but learn to listen.
These are the tools to change your world, and they are nothing but pure common sense. If you practice these agreements, if you make them your way of life, there won't be any more war in your head. There won't be any more war with your loved ones. There will be peace. You deliver a message every time you speak. Do you deliver the truth, or do you deliver lies? When the message you deliver comes from truth and love, you are happier. And just by being happier, everyone benefits because your happiness is contagious. When you are happy, the people around you are happy, too, and it inspires them to change their own world. Let's enjoy this world. Let's enjoy one another. We are meant to love one another, not to hate one another. Let's stop believing that our differences make us superior or inferior to one another. Let's not be afraid that our different colors make us different people. Who cares? It's just a lie, and we don't have to believe all the lies and superstitions that control our lives. We can return to the truth and be messengers of truth. It's incredible what we can do if we really want to do it. All we need is to be aware of what we are doing and to return to the authenticity we were born with. Help me to change the world is an invitation to be authentic, to follow your heart, to be free of superstitions and lies. And I'm not asking you to try to change the world. Don't try: just do it. By adopting The Five Agreements, you will create peace in your head, in your own world, and thereby help to create peace in the entire world.
Don Miguel Ruiz is the international bestselling author of The Four Agreements (a New York Times bestseller for over seven years). The sequel to this book, The Fifth Agreement, (written by don Miguel Ruiz and his son, don Jose Ruiz, with Janet Mills) has garnered worldwide interest and has been translated into twenty-five languages. Don Miguel Ruiz and don Jose Ruiz both lecture and lead classes across the United States and at sacred sites around the world.

Chat Transcript: IMD Admissions
IMD Business School (IMD Full-Time MBA Profile) in Lausanne, Switzerland, reported that 98 percent of its applicants were international in 2010. A truly international vibe is what makes the place unique, said Lisa Piguet (LisaIMD), associate director of MBA admissions and marketing at IMD, during a recent live chat event.She took questions from the audience and Bloomberg Businessweek reporter Francesca Di Meglio (FrancescaBW) on everything from the best time to apply to the perks of living in Switzerland. Here are edited excerpts from their chat.
Deva: I work as a design engineer in the automotive sector, and I am mostly involved in new product development. How can an MBA serve me?
LisaIMD: My question to you would be, what do you want to do with an MBA? An engineer who does an MBA can easily move into a business position after IMD. In fact, companies that recruit at IMD like these types of profiles because they have a strong base to start from. If you want to continue working in your area, that's fine. You can just build on this. You will get additional business and leadership skills to run big teams and projects.
FrancescaBW: How would you describe the culture at IMD to prospective students?
LisaIMD: IMD is a very interesting place. I am originally American, so I can say it is truly international. We are one of the most international programs in the world. We like people who are a bit more mature, experienced, and who want to have a career in management. We do have consultants in the program and people who go into consulting and finance but the majority of our students focus on general management. Our greatest strengths, however, are leadership and careers. We have a one-year leadership training [program] in conjunction with the business fundamentals and then we have career services built into the program to help you find your ideal job.
VishalR: Is the recent economic turmoil in some of the euro zone a big worry for IMD as far as job placements are concerned?
LisaIMD: Not so far. Our 2010 class just graduated, and almost 90 percent of them had a job offer upon graduation. This was much higher than last year. The average starting salary is much higher as well. So, right now I would say no.
cswe: I am trying to transition from the academic world into the business world. My background is in linguistics and cognitive psychology. Where should I put the majority of my effort when filling out MBA applications?
LisaIMD: At IMD we are a bit different than a lot of schools out there because we normally require business experience. If you really want to apply to IMD, I suggest you go to our site and do a free admissions test called Assess Your Chances at www.imd.ch/mba. It is read by one of my admissions team and they will tell you in detail what you need to work on.
VishalR: For non-EU students, how are job placements?
LisaIMD: The outlook for non-EU students is quite good. You do have to work a bit harder to find your ideal job if you want to stay in the EU, but if a company likes you it will find a way to sponsor you to get a work visa. It is getting harder in certain countries, but for the people who really make an effort it doesn't seem to be that much of an issue.
cswe: Is business experience an exclusive criterion for the admissions committee?
LisaIMD: Business experience is definitely up there on the list. Often we will take people with very strong leadership experience (for example, military) instead of true business experience, but due to the type of program we run, we require either strong leadership or business experience.
VishalR: Are there any changes in the admission essays this year?
LisaIMD: We changed just one, but it is a very small change (about financing).
FrancescaBW: How would you describe the ideal IMD student?
LisaIMD: The ideal IMD student is normally between 25 and 35 years old, has a minimum of three years of full-time work experience, a decent GMAT score, strong undergrad academics, good career progress, strong leadership potential (I said potential, not experience), and very good EQ [emotional quotient or emotional intelligence].
FrancescaBW: Do you require interviews? What are they like?
LisaIMD: Yes, we probably have the most unique interview process in the entire industry. If you are selected for an interview, you must come to Lausanne (right outside Geneva) and spend an entire day with us. It is very similar to a corporate assessment center. We have people writing about our process all the time because it is atypical for the industry. We also conduct the same interviews in Singapore in May and Latin America in September.
VishalR: Since I come from a very common applicant pool (Indian, male, engineer), would you suggest I apply in Round One to maximize my chances?
LisaIMD: Yes, it is best to apply early. The other suggestion I would make would be to bring out anything that is truly unique about you. You can watch my video blog on our MBA YouTube channel about tips and techniques of passing the IMD interview and what we look for in a candidate. This might really help you.
FrancescaBW: What is the biggest mistake applicants make?
LisaIMD: The biggest mistake is writing their own letters of recommendation. Please do not do this! Another is not bringing out the things IMD looks for. We look for achievements, business orientation, and leadership (all on the blog I did).
FrancescaBW: Speaking of recommendation letters, who should applicants be asking to write these for them?
LisaIMD: At IMD we ask that the letters come from people who can determine your business experience. This can be your boss, former boss, client, peer (better for teamwork, however). Please do not use professors or relatives.
FrancescaBW: How can applicants really shine? What can they do to stand out?
LisaIMD: We are very diverse at IMD, so the more diverse a person is, the better. Again, please bring out all your leadership experiences (not just at work but outside work as well ), your achievements, which can be work- or personal-related, and something unique about you. We like things that are different, so let us know what sets you apart from all the other applicants.
VictorP: How important is it to have international work experience?
LisaIMD: At IMD the majority of our students have some international experience. However, we know that there are countries in the world where people tend not to leave their home country but either travel for work or do business outside of the country on a daily basis. We will take both of these into consideration. Just make sure this comes out in your application.
FrancescaBW: What about the GMAT? What's the average and range of admitted applicants? And how important is it?
LisaIMD: At IMD the GMAT is just something we use to assess a person's potential to be a top manager. Our 80 percent range is 620 to 750. I like to say we look at the person as an entire package and not just one part.
FrancescaBW: Do you have any tips or advice for applicants who are sitting down with your application at this moment?
LisaIMD: Again, just make sure you bring out your leadership , achievements, and business orientation. We also would like to see a personal side to you. Choose your letters of recommendation wisely and have someone (preferably a native English speaker) review your application prior to submitting it. I always tell people to hide the question and then have a friend read the answer and then tell you what the question was asking. That way you know you answered what we wanted to know.
FrancescaBW: What's it like living in Switzerland?
LisaIMD: Switzerland is a great place to live and study. We are in Lausanne, which is an amazing European city with so much history and charm. The other thing that's interesting about this area is that it's home to more than 100 multinational companies, so many of our MBAs end up working for these companies. They fall in love with the place and stay.

There are three giants in the London finance market:
Clifford Chance, Allen & Overy (A&O) and Linklaters, and all had a successful year during the boom.
But outside the top three not everyone was having such a ball. Norton Rose's finance team has suffered some damaging departures recently, although it stillm managed to have a reasonably good year financially, posting a 16 per cent increase in revenue, from £74m up to £86m. But while turnover has increased, revenue per partner (RPP) has decreased by 11 per cent, from £1.1m in 2005-06 down to £979,000 in the last financial year, making it one of only five firms in the top 15 on finance to post an RPP of less than £1m.
The firm saw a number of key losses from its finance team in its Dubai office, a traditionally strong outpost. Norton Rose's strength in Islamic finance across the practice group was challenged last year when key partners Nadim Kahn and Zubair Mir left to join Herbert Smith in October. Then in January this year partner Tahir Ahmed left to join Ashurst.
Norton Rose's head of banking Stephen Parish says the group remained confident about its presence and strength in its Dubai office and argued that it has rebuilt its practice group in other areas of banking.
"It's been a strategy to build up our capabilities in securitisation during the last year. We used to be very strong in this area, but lost some key partners. I feel that we're now doing well in securitisation and have again built up a good team," says Parish.
If Norton Rose's figures appear poor, Denton Wilde Sapte's (DWS) look disastrous. The finance team also suffered a dip last year, with total revenue down by 3.4 per cent, from £44m in 2005-06 to £42.5m.
In previous years DWS's finance practice has also been hit by a number of key partner departures, including those of leveraged finance experts Ian Yeo and Chris Fanner, who joined Herbert Smith in December 2005.
The team, once a thriving banking and finance practice and the core of the firm, now contributes less to firmwide turnover than before, having dipped by 2.8 percentage points in 2005-06, from 30 per cent of turnover to 27.2 per cent in 2006-07.
The 6 per cent drop in RPP last year from £965,000 to £904,000 puts DWS almost bottom of the charts among the top 15 finance teams, second last only to the rising Berwin Leighton Paisner. That result is hardly surprising considering how much the firm's finance capabilities have dwindled during recent years. Since the 2003-04 financial year, DWS's finance team's RPP has plummeted by 43.5 per cent, from £1.6m to £904,000.
"The problem with DWS is that the market's become extremely competitive," says a finance partner from a rival firm. "I don't think their finance team has what it takes to win the clients from its competitors like it once did."
In March this year DWS managing partner Howard Morris launched a review of the finance team in order to address the underperformance that has pulled the revenue down. Reversing the trend will not be easy. "It's a very competitive market," agrees Morris, "and there are some fantastic firms in London that have very strong finance capabilities. This has meant that finance has struggled and we needed to address that. We've renewed our international focus and will be moving away from areas that haven't been as profitable for us."
Howard adds that UK PFI and PPP projects have not been as successful as in the past, but said that international project finance is booming.
"We will still do domestic projects work, but other areas such as the UAE [United Arab Emirates] have been much more successful. This is why we'll focus on this area," Howard asserts.
Like Norton Rose, DWS's finance team has suffered from departures in the UAE, with the loss of its Islamic finance team. The eightstrong team, headed by Rahail Ali, moved to Lovells in Dubai, leaving DWS with no capabilities on the ground.
DWS head of Islamic finance Farmida Bi argues there was a limited number of lawyers who could really claim to be Islamic finance specialists. "This will certainly change over the next few years as trainees and associates gain more experience in this area," she adds. "But for the time being it's hard for any firm to keep hold of the specialists."
Back at the other end of the finance table, all three of the leading pack had a stellar year, although each occupies different sectors of the market.
With a highly liquid market and a booming private equity sector, it is easy to see why these firms performed so well and secured their places at the top of the revenue table.
"Every firm has done well during the past year. Success in a boom period is not really a good test of a firm's competence. Private equity has meant finance teams have all been kept very busy, but it will be interesting to see
how firms fare during the downturn," comments former Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer banking partner David Ereira, who is now at Linklaters.
Clifford Chance is the undoubted market leader, notably on acquisition finance. Its total global revenue of £418m is a 9.5 per cent increase on 2004-05's £361m.
Global banking, headed by Mark Campbell, contributed most to the total finance turnover with approximately a 19 per cent increase on last year, taking it to £285m, while capital markets' contribution, headed by David Dunnegan, was up by 23 per cent, from £108m to £133m.
Clifford Chance saw a drop of 5 per cent in RPP, from £1.89m down to £1.78m, during the past financial year, but this dip can be attributed to the 44 lawyers who joined the group's partnership in 2006-07.
Globally the European banking team brought in the most with £97m, followed by Asia with a £25.5m contribution and the UK chipping in with £20m.
London's banking practice was up by almost 20 per cent to £137m of banking's total revenue. It had a stellar year, cementing its relationships with both the private equity houses and senior lenders.
Acquisition finance was a core strength for the firm, with the team advising longstanding clients Royal Bank of Scotland and Citibank on the financing of Ferrovial's €15bn (£10.22bn) acquisition of BAA, a deal that helped Clifford Chance scoop Finance Team of the Year at The Lawyer Awards in June.
The derivatives team also fared well, bringing in £28m, with asset and structured finance having a slightly less successful year in a tough market, securing £22m for the group.
The team has made a big play for the lucrative derivatives market by ramping up its capabilities with the hire of senior partner Simon Gleeson from Allen & Overy in October 2006. It has one of the best financial regulatory practices on the globe.
And what of A&O? Its lender client base ensured it remained active on debt syndicates during the year, although it is less balanced that Clifford Chance, with a much weaker sponsor practice. These included the mandate advising Mediobanca and UBS as the lead arrangers for the €35bn (£23.85bn) financing for Acciona and Enel's joint bid for Endesa in early April this year.
"It's been an exemplary year, particularly in regulatory. This is an area we'd like to expand, but there are few lawyers who specialise in regulatory," says chairman of global banking at A&O Michael Duncan.
On the private equity side A&O's lack of sponsor clients has meant it has less muscle in this arena. Higher fees resulted in unpopularity with sponsor-facing law firms that regularly refer business to other firms.
Banking represented 29 per cent of the firmwide turnover at £257m, an increase of 20 per cent on last year's £213m. International capital markets represented 18 per cent of total turnover at £159m, while the finance team's RPP saw an increase of 13 per cent, taking it above £2.1m.
A&O capital markets partner Boyan Wells says the capital markets team had a storming year in 2006-07.
"As everyone will tell you, it was an incredibly busy year," Wells says. "Capital markets, like all the other parts of the finance group, did extremely well and were busy throughout the year. In particular the structured finance sector was very busy, so every firm that invested in this area benefited. I'm pleased to say A&O was one of these firms."
Linklaters' acquisition finance practice has skyrocketed in recent years, and this is reflected in the finance group's turnover of £392m, an increase of 23 per cent on the previous year.
The team was ranked first in RPP for the second year running, with an 11 per cent increase up to £2.3m last year from £2m in the previous financial year. Holding on to first place with RPP underscores Linklaters' strength, which has been achieved via its intensive lateral hiring strategy.
The acquisition finance team, built with a succession of lateral hires in recent years, hired former Freshfields real estate finance partner Ereira in February, who was later joined by banking star Brian Gray from Freshfields in June this year.
"We've built an extremely dynamic and focused team," says Ereira. "The leverage side was a particular success for us in the last financial year and we're expecting to continue with strong growth. The key is managing the clients well and ensuring you have a relationship that will result in continual work rather than operating like a deal factory."
The team has an impressive resumé in the private equity sphere, having advised on the financing of many of last year's prominent key deals.
With lawyers advising the sponsors on private equity transactions that are able to exert influence over which lawyers advise the banks on the financing, Linklaters has drawn on its popularity and benefited from this recent trend.
The team has also made its mark in the world of covenant-lite loans, an arguably short-lived trend given the current credit crunch. In 2006 Linklaters advised on two groundbreaking covenant-lite loans that arguably shaped the financial markets in the latter part of the year.
In March partner Gideon Moore advised underwriters JPMorgan on the financing of private equity firm Apax Partners' proposed acquisition of a 49.9 per cent stake in Trader Media Investments from Guardian Media Group, a covenant-lite transaction.
This deal came after Linklaters advised on the covenant-lite refinancing of World Directories' senior facilities in 2006.
While the restructuring market has been slow for a few years, Linklaters still managed to secure key clients in this sector during an economic boom. For example, partners Robert Elliott and Bruce Bell advised car material manufacturer TMD Friction on its €875m (£596.22m) restructuring last year. This deal was the biggest European restructuring in 2006.
Freshfields reported a £197m turnover for its finance team, representing 20 per cent of the firmwide turnover and a similar increase for the group on the previous financial year.
It is an understatement to say it has not been an easy year for the firm. Freshfields spent much of the year facing inwards, dealing with a massive internal restructuring that saw the exits of approximately 100 partners across the projects, litigation, equity capital markets and finance practice groups.
As well as the departure of Ereira, the firm saw other losses, including those of key finance partners Peter Green and Jeremy Jennings-Mares, who left to join US firm Morrison & Foerster to launch its structured finance practice in London.
This trend has continued into this financial year with the departure of Rex Rosales, who moved to Reed Smith Richards Butler in May, as well as Gray, who announced his departure to Linklaters in June.
Despite the turbulence, Freshfields' finance team still increased its RPP by 28.5 per cent, from around £1.5m to £1.9m, and added seven to its partner headcount, although tellingly, virtually none were made up to equity. This jump is a step change on the previous increase of 8 per cent between the 2004-05 and the 2005-06 financial years.
Freshfields' renewed focus on private equity has meant the finance team has effectively been sidelined in favour of M&A and corporate matters, making finance closer to a support function for the firm's corporate team. But the boom in M&A means that the finance work generated by the corporate group has led to the revenue remaining strong.
"We've gone from being a largely borrowerbased team to having a much broader mix in the practice, including a strength in restructuring," says Freshfields head of banking David Winfield.
DLA Piper, which has a calendar financial year, has been the rising star of the finance sector over the past four years. The firm has moved from the bottom of the table in 2003 up to fifteenth last year. The team's revenue has almost doubled in the past two years, with an increase of £43m, from £55m during 2005 up to £98m in 2006.
Head of finance at DLA Piper Michael Burton attributes the team's dramatic growth in part to the success of its new capital markets team, established in June 2006. In an intriguing development, former A&O senior associate Sharon Smith joined the firm as partner at the time to launch the debt capital markets group.
"The new team's done extremely well in London and in international offices. Capital markets isn't a traditional sector for us, so we're very pleased with its progress," says Burton. The team, which also has a place on the panels of five UK banks, gained key mandates from each client throughout the year.
CMS Cameron McKenna's finance team dropped to the bottom of the top 15 bestperforming groups, having suffered a revenue decrease of 22 per cent, from £38m to £29.6m, during the last financial year. While finance turnover has dropped, Camerons' combined corporate and finance groups contributed a healthy percentage to firmwide turnover. Together finance and corporate contributed a total of £116m to turnover, representing 59 per cent of the firm's £197m revenue.
Despite the apparent finance revenue drop, Camerons' head of banking and finance Will Meredith argues that the team had had a healthy year, with the firm developing strengths in core parts of the market. "I think that developing the structured finance capabilities is something we're very
pleased we've done. Derivatives in particular have been a growth market, and to be able to participate in this sector has been extremely beneficial for us," says Meredith.

New Years Eve.
The religious thing at Bhabi's sisters went ok this morning, we got there about 11.30 and left around 4.30, it was pretty boring really, these things usually are when you don't really know anyone there! The girls got to see a real live snake and experience a Desi People Carrier (see pics). We made our way to Jalandhar to drop Bhabi and the girls off and do the whole New Years Eve thing. We were really up for a boy's night out, me. Soma and Gagan. We dropped the girls and Bhabi off and I called Vindod (I came here for his wedding) to see what he was up to, he said he was not going out but to come over because his uncle had come home from having a major operation. I wanted to go and see Uncle so we made our way over to their house. Uncle has had a cancerous lump removed from his lower jaw, he is a wonderful man, he has spent his whole life looking out for his brothers and ALL their kids, right now all I would ask god for is his speedy and safe recovery
I have already sent emails to everyone wishing them the very best for 2006, but if you didn't get on or I don't know who you are(random people surfing the site), hope you all have a prosperous new year, may it be filled with love and happiness. Love to you all Harvi
