UPDATED 11am Friday: A spokeswoman for NSW RFS said while the Guyra Road, Wandsworth bushfire progressed to the south-east overnight, given the weather conditions, it did not run as hard as some other fires in the area. She warned that potentially there were about 10-20 properties along Guyra Road, and the tracks off the road that needed to be on alert today, as fire fighting strategy was not necessarily containment, but to slow its progression. "We're asking residents in the area to remain vigilant and enact their bushfire survival plans and know what they are going to do when the situation changes, as it's very likely to do today," she said. "We haven't had any immediate threat to property yet, however crews are in the field today to monitor conditions." "Severe fire danger ratings at the moment meaning it is incredibly difficult for fire fighters to achieve containment," she said. She said often fire fighters would have to fall back into property protection and look after those as best they could because was not safe to fight the fire. "The best thing residents can do to help is to know what they are going to do because our greatest concern is their protection," she said. "If they're not comfortable and not prepared then use the opportunity while they can to leave and head to a safe location." The spokeswoman said residents were only advised to stay if they are well prepared, both their properties and themselves, physically and mentally to fight the fire if that eventuated. This fire remains out of control and has burnt out about 1280 hectares. BUSHFIRES are continuing to burn out of control near Walcha, Guyra and Tenterfield on Thursday night, but conditions have eased in two of the areas. Watch and Act warnings are in place for the Wandsworth fire, near Guyra, as well as the Gulf Road fire that is burning at Torrington, near Tenterfield. An emergency warning remains in place at 6.30pm for the Stockyard Flat fire near Walcha. The RFS said the bush fire is burning in the Stockyard Flat, Spur Trail, Yarrowitch, Oxley Wild River National Park area. The fire has more than doubled in size on Thursday afternoon. An emergency warning remains in place with residents urged to leave the area. It has now burnt out close to 6,000 hectares and is still out of control. On Thursday night, the RFS said there is an increase in fire activity on the southern edge of the fire. Crews are on scene to protect properties and are supported by aircraft, who are continuing to attack the blaze to slow the spread. The fire continues to move east towards the Warnes River area. The RFS said people in the area of Blomfield Road should seek shelter as the fire approaches and protect themselves from the heat of the fire.

Are You Quitting or Starting?
New friends pour through the revolving door.
Maybe there's one that more. If you find one, that'll do.
But us, old friend, what's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us. Who's like us? Damned few.
- Sondheim, "Old Friends" from Merrily We Roll Along
In every career, in every life, there is a stream of people coming into and out of our story. And most of the time when someone leaves, you get the sense they're just moving on. It's the right time and the right thing for them. You know you will miss them, but you wish them well.
And sometimes, the leaving feels like an ending, a withdrawal, a surrender or perhaps even an attack or sabbotage.
What makes the difference? I think it's whether the person is moving toward something new or only away from something old.
Those who are moving toward are focused on what's next, and it's easy to get behind their goals.
Those who are moving away from are usually angry or frustrated and focused on the negative and, it seems, they want their leaving to hurt those who stay.
As we move ourselves into and out of situations, it's worth asking: am I moving to something or away from something? Do I have hope and vision or merely a burning need to NOT be in the current environment?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting anyone stay in a toxic situation! But rather, the desire to get OUT is not enough - find the new goal so that you leap toward not just away.
Find a way to say "I'm starting" rather than "I'm quitting."

What is happening? A phrase I have uttered to myself countless mornings recently.
I was cruising this summer. After the unhappy and ego crushing weight gain of the late winter (24 lbs to be exact), I kicked it in to high gear over the summer and shed 20 of the 24 lbs. Feeling good and within 2.4 lbs of goal, I competed in and completed my first Half Ironman.
Then the rails went off. It wasn't as if I threw Weight Watchers out the window. It was just the focus from the Summer and having the race to train for was gone.
Obviously I race a lot and am still active, but the activity level dipped from the Summer and I have been fighting to regain that drive ever since.
So in October and November I felt stuck. It was turning into more of a mental battle of wants/desires and pure laziness. I know when I am off plan it is only because I am feeling lazy. Which really grinds my gears.
See skipped weigh-ins! Never a good sign. I know I am feeling "off" when that happens since normally I face the scale no matter what.
Every Friday I would wake up with renewed energy and a fresh feeling of the new week ahead.
But inevitably I would let the weekend indulge creep into the week. Again nothing too wild and crazy, but a little more lax with the portions than I wanted.
Additionally, I could see the frequent trips to the grocery store dwindling which led to more snacking and ordering out. Neither of which needed to happen.
But I am not here to post excuses, but to work through WHY this little cycle has been happening. Why THIS year.
See that is the problem. This marks my third year of being at goal and a Lifetime member and the first real time I have struggled. The first real time I have put on more than say 5 lbs.
As the inner demons in my brain continue to battle about whether I am worth this struggle and this fight, the topic to the meeting this week shut them down for a brief time. Ahh inner peace... if even for a week.
The topic this week is about creating a Losing List. Here is my losing list from last year. Hearing why my members started their weight loss and healthy living journeys started to chip away at the "rut" feeling that had been weighing me down.
Additionally, it was hearing myself share the story out loud of buying my first belt after never wearing one because I would only wear stretchy pants so I could avoid buying the size 20 pants - that something clicked. I could feel the excitement I felt that day. The feeling of pride that still bursts every time I wear the dress with that darn belt.
It reminded me that life is hard, but we can choose our hard. Being overweight was hard. Losing weight was hard. Maintaining weight loss is hard. But which hard is worth it to me? It is definitely Door #3!
So when I tell my members that them letting me be a part of their journey changes my life on a weekly basis, I am NOT lying. Thank you members and friends and readers for picking me up when I am down ... even if you don't realize it!
OH and while cleaning last Friday night, we found my original weight record book. Ohhhhh talk about motivation!
Today marks almost one-consecutive month of tracking (12/7 will be one month) and I am getting my groove back.
I am going to continue to fight to get back to goal, but my personal goal has always been 15X.
Now the tracking piece is in place, I need to still work on that activity. While I did earn 84 APs this week - which is still outstanding - it is not to the level I was this summer. So I need to brainstorm how to find my workout groove again. Thankfully marathon training officially starts 12/13 and I am hoping that that will spark whatever light I need.
How do you work through a weight loss or fitness rut?

Jesse Lingard says Manchester United playing with more freedom

Image: Jesse Lingard says Manchester United have started playing with more freedom
Jesse Lingard says Manchester United are playing with much more freedom after being given license to express themselves by manager Louis van Gaal.
United recorded back-to-back wins for only the second time in three months on Tuesday evening as they cruised to a 3-0 win over Stoke City at Old Trafford.
The vibrant football was in complete contrast to the ponderous style that has become synonymous with United this season and ensured they did not lose any more ground on the top four - they remain five points adrift of fourth place which is now occupied by Arsenal.
Louis van Gaal says was pleased with his team's performance in Manchester United's 3-0 win over Stoke.
And after scoring six goals in their last two games, Lingard says United are in a position to entertain the fans once more.
"Now we are playing with that freedom and we've got a lot of energy in the team," said Lingard, who joined the club aged seven.

"To be mixing up the positions and entertain the crowd, we'll have to do that, but it's that freedom that we have, it's a weight off our shoulders and we can just play football now."

Still, failure to bridge the gap to the top four and secure Champions League football for next season would represent a hugely disappointing season for United and Lingard admits their difficult campaign has been down to the players, not Van Gaal.

"With the results, it's not the manager's fault," said the United midfielder, who put the hosts one up against the Potters with his third goal for the club.
"We are the ones who have been on the pitch playing. On Tuesday, you've seen that we can get results we need if we put our mind to it."

Lingard says it is important the players do not let frustrations from the fans affect them on the pitch.
"It's hard, but we have to concentrate on the game," said Lingard when reminded of supporter unrest during the 1-0 defeat to Southampton 11 days ago.
"We can't let the fans influence how we play. We are on the pitch. We have to play the game as we see it at the time.
"We showed great character to do that in the last game and were unfortunate not to get the result against Southampton but we bounced back against Derby and against Stoke."

From Fox coverage of Acalanes story
The following comes from a Dec. 10 story on Fox News.
An eye witness will be writing a follow-up story for Cal Catholic.
Students at one northern California high school are learning more than just the birds and the bees.
Along with local area groups, some parents are irate that their children's sex ed class at Acalanes High School in Lafayette is being taught by employees of Planned Parenthood without their prior knowledge. They are also fuming over the methods and materials being used, including a checklist that asks students if they are "ready for sex" and another worksheet that describes how to give and obtain consent, as well as a diagram that uses a "genderbread" person for lessons in gender identity….
It was the parents of ninth-graders at Acalanes that started raising questions after their children told them one instructor threw a model of female reproductive organs at one student and that many felt the sessions were pressuring them to have sex….
Acalanes Union School District officials told the institute the class was not taught by teachers but rather the staff from a local Planned Parenthood in nearby Walnut Creek.
Included in the materials provided to students were documents and worksheets that included a checklist entitled, "Sex Check! Are You Ready For Sex?" in which the 13 and 14-year-old students are asked questions such as if they have water–based lubricants and condoms and if they could handle a possible infection or pregnancy. Another worksheet reads like a how-to on obtaining consent from a possible sexual partner and offers possible statements like "Do you want to go back to my place?" and "Is it OK if I take my pants off?"
They were also taught about gender identity with the "Genderbread Person," a play on the name of the holiday cookie, to teach them on how to identify themselves as either, "agender," "bigender," and "two spirit" to name a few.
"Our daughter took this course two years ago, after being provided the opportunity to opt out of the class," John Lyons, whose two children attend AHS, told FoxNews.com. "The opt-out form provided a handful of bullet points about what the course would cover. After completing the course, it was apparent that some of what was 'taught' went beyond what was represented on the opt-out form. This is disappointing to us, because we are actually strong supporters of teen sex education in a peer environment to complement our home-based discussions."
Lyons added that he and his wife were dismayed by how the students were instructed. He said valuable and factual information was delivered in a manner that seemed to promote Planned Parenthood's agenda regarding 'social justice' through sex education of teens."
Officials for the Planned Parenthood's Northern California region did not respond to requests for comment.
Parents in the district have started a petition that has garnered over 100 signatures and have asked that AHS provide a sex ed preview course offered live to parents by the same person who teaches the kids, prior to their taking the course, to give parents the full disclosure and knowledge necessary to make an informed decision regarding their child's participation. So far, the school has not responded to their requests. They are also asking for the school system to develop and implement their own curriculum…..

Father Frank Pavone, the founder of Priests for Life (PFL), once again faces possible disciplinary action because of his refusal to allow episcopal oversight of his organization's finances.
New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan has revealed, in a letter to the bishops of the US, that the Vatican conducted an apostolic visitation of Priests for Life last year. After that investigation, the cardinal says, he was asked by the Congregation for the Clergy to "assist Father Pavone with several necessary reforms."
However, Cardinal Dolan writes, Father Pavone has not cooperated with the reforms. As a result, the cardinal has told the Vatican that "I am unable to fulfill their mandate, and want nothing further to do with the organization."
"What the Apostolic See intends to do, I have no idea," Cardinal Dolan tells his brother bishops in his letter, dated November 30. (CWN has obtained a copy of the letter.) The cardinal's letter, reporting Father Pavone's refusal to undertake reforms, points toward the possibility of action by the Vatican against the controversial priest.
In his letter Cardinal Dolan reminds the other American bishops that Father Pavone has a history of clashing with the prelates who have sought to oversee his work. PFL was founded in New York, but after disputes there with Cardinals John O'Connor and Edward Egan, the pro-life activist sought and received a transfer to the Diocese of Amarillo, Texas.

What does this have to do with the article?
Why is Dolan writing a letter to US Bishops and making it public? If he has an issue, he should be writing to the Vatican.
(Something smells here.)
Let's remember that Dolan is going to be in the grand marshal in the St. Patrick's day parade which has just sanctioned a gay group to promote the homosexual lifestyle. And Dolan does not care.
Also Dolan did not care about his invitation to Obama and his photo-ops at the Al Smith dinner with Obama – being used to re-elect the most pro-abortion President in history.
Let's not forget that Cardinal Roger Mahony tried to take over EWTN from Mother Angelica to promote his political garbage.

If the person teaching the sex-ed class is not credentialed by the State of California to teach at that level, it is probably a violation of the State Education Code. Therefore, it is illegal. See the principal and demand to see if the person is credentialed to teach at that level. Also, if the person is not credentialed, the local teachers' union should complain because it taking away the job of a credentialed teacher. Meet with other parents and complain as a group. Take your child out of the class. Don't allow your children to be instructed in a subject or treatment of the subject matter that violates your family's values.

Our country desperately needs a HUGE moral clean-up— plus, MATURITY, regarding sex! These kids all need to be taught to live a CHASTE LIFE ONLY! And sex should be ONLY for Marriage! Dating should be a nice social event, with group dating predominant, until the late teen years, when young adults may be ready to look seriously, for a marriage partner. Young people should be helped to grow up, and to become very mature, with good morals, good manners, good communication skills, and good dress! When a young person is fully grown, he or she must be fully prepared to assume their adult roles, in an excellent and very mature society, with our traditional Judeo-Christian values! As for so-called "sex-ed," in America's modern-day schools? Such classes are totally corrupt, and totally IMMATURE!! Rather– the course should be re-named, "Marriage," and kids need to learn all about their future roles as spouses, and parents!!

"Linda Marie" is correct: The young must be taught the proper role for sex (which is man-woman marriage only). Further, Planned Parenthood must be kicked out of public schools and their roles exposed. No law can ultimately forbid criticism of PP, so never fear making this.
Where is the local bishop, or any of CA or national bishops, or the USCCB? Probably chasing good Fr. Pavone, or otherwise trying to issue a paper on immigration, or mandatory minimum wage rates. The point, excellencies, is to help the common man Catholic to achieve salvation. But, that is irrelevant to them.
And, what kind of parent would stand for one moment for such evil to be visited on their children? Acalanes HS is in a very affluent area, which is often where moral issues are most overtly raised. Objecting parents are to be praised; time to follow-up and attack the fools that permit this evil. The PP people (with their pal Satan) will try to get whatever they can. Time to stop them, hard and without question.

The Center for Disease Control has clearly stated that the best way to avoid sexually transmitted diseases is ABSTINANCE –
"The most reliable way to avoid infection is to not have sex (i.e., anal, vaginal or oral)."
https://www.cdc.gov/std/prevention/default.htm
50% of all new sexually transmitted diseases is in the age group 15 – 24.
There are about 20 MILLION new infections annually.
https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats/STI-Estimates-Fact-Sheet-Feb-2013.pdf
1) Are teens taught this in public schools?
2) Are they provided with this CDC fact sheet?
3) If not why not?
Make your School Boards answer the questions.
If School Boards and State legislators want to teach children about sex, make them give the complete story.
Parents never give up your rights regarding your children's health, and your right to know what your children are doing.

LOS ANGELES — A former USC professor of gender and sexuality studies, who was once among the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives, was sentenced today to five years behind bars for flying to the Philippines to have sex with underage boys he met online.
Walter Lee Williams, 66, was also ordered to serve 10 years of supervised release after he gets out of federal prison, register for life as a sex offender and pay $25,000 in restitution to be divided between seven victims.
Seated in a wheelchair, Williams apologized to the victims and his own family.

Appeals court overturns sex-change for inmate
BOSTON (AP) — A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned a ruling ordering Massachusetts prison officials to provide taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery for an inmate convicted of murder.
Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, is serving a life sentence for killing spouse Cheryl Kosilek in 1990.
Kosilek has waged a protracted legal battle for the surgery she says is necessary to relieve the mental anguish caused by gender-identity disorder.
In a 3-2 ruling Tuesday, the full 1st Circuit found that Kosilek failed to demonstrate that prison officials violated the Eight Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment by not providing the surgery.
…Kosilek = currently housed in a male prison but hoped to be transferred to a female prison after the surgery…
director of the Transgender Rights Project of the Boston-based legal group Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders = appalled by the ruling.
"It really is hard to understand this decision as anything other than transgender exceptionalism."

The three point basket has changed how the game of basketball is played — and as recently as last year, a revolution on how teams approach the shot has really taken hold throughout the NBA.
NBA 2K has understandably had a bit of difficulty in keeping up with a game that is changing before our very eyes at times. At what point are three pointers too easy vs. at what point are they unrealistically hard?
I have noticed quite a bit of chatter on three-pointers in NBA 2K17 over the last couple of weeks, with many of the complaints seemingly coming down on the "they're too easy to convert" side of the debate.
It's possible that is the case, but its also possible how you are shooting the three ball could depend on which team you are using, what player you are shooting with, what mode you are playing in, and any other number of factors.
On a personal anecdotal level, I played four games of NBA 2K17 recently and averaged 40.4% from behind the three point arc with the OKC Thunder. In real life the Thunder are hitting 34.5% — but I'm also playing with a different personnel set at this point. The Spurs lead the league at 39.9% from behind the arc and the league wide average has hovered around the 35% mark for years now.
So technically we should expect to see the three point shots we take consolidate around that sort of an average.
But I'm not so sure there's a singular answer here. Could threes be too easy for certain types of shooters and not nearly easy enough for others? Are you finding that universally three point shooting percentages are too high? Too low? Are they just about right?
Sound off in the comments about your own experiences with three pointers in NBA 2K17!

Great News: Pelosi Already Plotting to Shackle the 'Super Congress' and Its Ability to Enact Entitlement Reform
By Bryan Preston Aug 02, 2011 8:15 PM ET
Yeah. That 'Super Congress' was such a super idea.
At a pre-recess press conference Tuesday afternoon, TPM asked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) whether the people she appoints to the committee will make the same stand she made during the debt limit fight — that entitlement benefits — as opposed to provider payments, waste and other Medicare spending — should be off limits.
In short, yes.
"That is a priority for us," Pelosi said. "But let me say it is more than a priority – it is a value… it's an ethic for the American people. It is one that all of the members of our caucus share. So that I know that whoever's at that table will be someone who will fight to protect those benefits."
Pelosi gets three members, Reid gets three, Boehner gets three and McConnell gets three. One Scott Brown or Maine sister on that committee and it's tilted to the left, while we know that no so-called "Blue Dog" will do anything the Democrat leadership won't allow them to do.

An indie bio-drama, Maudie follows the life of Nova Scotia painter Maud Lewis. The film, a Canadian-Irish production, shot to a small budget of $5.6mm, was directed by Aisling Walsh, to a screenplay by Sherry White. It stars Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke in the lead roles.
Maudie, the film, like its title character, slowly grows on you. Maud Lewis was a woman facing many challenges, not to the least of which were physical nature, poverty and a hostile family, yet she had something most privileged people do not always poses; a joyful attitude.
Manchester by the Sea (2016) *****
Like an onion, slowly being peeled layer by layer to reveal a forever bleeding heart, Kenneth Lonergan, the writer-director of Manchester by the Sea, presents us with the clumped past of the film's lead character; Lee Chandler, a reserved janitor working in Quincy, Massachusetts. Yet people are rarely what they seem.
Sand Storm ("Sufat Chol", Israel 2016) ****
The story focuses on traditions versus modernization at the world of the Bedouin; once fierce nomads of the desert, now permanently settled throughout the Southern desert region of Israel. Providing an insight into a culture foreign to most of us, Zexer's tale follows a young woman on the verge of adulthood, whose forbidden love puts her at odds with her family and tribe. Sand Strom is about people trapped in circumstances larger than what they feel they can handle; namely placing emotions against ancient traditions. Simple yet haunting, Sand Storm is a film to watch and meditate on. Like all good stories, the subject matter is very specific, yet one can find in it a universal theme.
The Tenth Man (2016, Argentina) ***
Written and directed by Daniel Burman, The Tenth Man is a low-budget Argentine film. It follows the homecoming of a son that spent years in New York, arriving back at the cradle of his Jewish-Argentinian community in Buenos Aires. The acting feels authentic, and even if the pace requires some patience on occasion, it is a curiosity to watch, especially for viewers with interest in other cultures.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016, New Zealand) *****
Spiced with plenty of humor and lots of heart, Hunt for the Wilderpeople helped restore some of my faith, that the art of storytelling via film is not yet all but lost. Two people, one a troubled city kid (Julian Dennison) who had been moved from one foster home to another, the other a wilder grieving man (Sam Neill), find themselves running together from the law, and subject to a national manhunt. These two outcasts who cannot stand each other, not so surprisingly, would learn to enjoy each other's company. And while this outcome is somewhat predictable as it is desired, it is the road they take them there, that makes their journey worth seeing.
Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict (2015) ****
Ahead of her time, Peggy Guggenheim's passion for the modern art movement, and even more so, to the artists behind it, whose beds she frequently shared, is a noteworthy tale. With names such as Samuel Beckett, Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp and many others decorating her life, Peggy acted as a common thread; a beacon for the avant-garde, and, at times, practicaly a life-savor sage.

SO…EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric's name for our IoT-enabled, open, and interoperable system architecture. A system architecture is a conceptual model that defines the structure and behaviour of a system. In the case of EcoStruxure, the system is comprised of 3 levels: connected products, edge control software, and cloud-based apps/analytics/services. It takes great advantage of IoT, cloud, and Big Data analytics technologies to bring unprecedented insight into data center operations. The EcoStruxure architecture maximizes the value of data to deliver improved safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability for our customers and their data centers.
It sounds wonderful, but, what does all that mean in reality? How is that value achieved through the architecture? And what the heck is "edge control software"?? There's been a lot of press coverage and promotion over our exciting new approach to solving customer problems, but there's a need to provide more detail and clarity. That's where the Science Center comes in.
I work in the Data Center Science Center as a Sr. Research Analyst. Our unique team is part of the Office of the CTO. We're tasked with researching and analyzing technologies to develop best practices on how to plan, design, build and operate data centers. We avoid talking about products and focus instead on the underlying technologies and systems and how best to apply them. Using the scientific method and quantitative analysis we strive to solve real customer challenges or help them make better decisions more quickly. We make all our research available to the public through our white papers, TradeOff Tools, and Reference Designs.
Internally, we are often called on to independently evaluate new product ideas and competing designs while measuring their impact on the overall system. We act as sort of a neutral party to help decide the best path forward between competing engineering teams. It was in this vein that we became involved with EcoStruxure for Data Centers. Part of this work involved our team writing an FAQ that clearly defined what it is, what it isn't, how it helps customers, and so on. Taking a complex topic and making it simple to understand is a strength of our team. I encourage you to check it out. I firmly believe that the most effective data center operations and maintenance programs in the future will be those that embrace or better utilize the cloud, big data analytics, and digital services. It just makes sense to me. Does it for you, too?
Simply explained and I will surely share this blog link to other colleagues, thanks for penning it!

Share and share alike
Andrew Whitehouse of corporate finance house Smith Square Partners – which is targeting the legal market after tying up with ABS Advisory Partners – says that with consolidation set to accelerate, converting to a corporate structure is the best way for law firms to take advantage of it
Whitehouse: smaller to mid-sized law firms operating without clear specialisations look to be particularly vulnerable
In the immediate aftermath of Big Bang in the 1980s, a handful of people predicted that an unprecedented wave of consolidation would occur in the investment banking industry. Their thesis was that, over a 20-year period, a handful of very large players would come to dominate the market globally.
At the other end of the food chain, specialist boutiques would thrive in niche areas but generalist UK-focused merchant banks had no future unless they evolved rapidly. Most merchant banks laughed at this analysis. They aren't laughing now. They no longer exist.
Read across to the legal services sector
Will the legal services sector go the same way? Probably not. There are material differences in the way in which investment banking and legal services are delivered. Lawyers don't need significant amounts of capital to give legal advice. International reach is not a major issue except for the largest law firms. And the number of retail customers who buy legal services is significant.
All of this suggests that the UK can support far more law firms than it can investment banks.
But that's not to say that change in the legal sector isn't coming. It is. This article attempts to shed some light on what form it might take.
The case for consolidation
There has been a lot of commentary in recent months about the implications of the Legal Services Act. In our view much of it has been wide of the mark. The alternative business structure provisions of the Act permit, for the first time, external investment in law firms. But it does not follow that such investment is inevitable.
The initial interest shown by private equity houses in investing in law firms has cooled and IPOs have been few and far between of late. In other words, there is currently very little external capital available for investment except in highly specialised areas of the law.
That said, the Act has prompted many law firms to begin to think a lot more strategically. And as they have done so, it has become apparent that the commercial landscape they face going forward is likely to be very different to the one they have grown up with.
From the 1980s until 2007 lawyers, like many other professional services businesses, enjoyed an almost uninterrupted period of revenue growth. To support this growth the fixed cost bases of law firms expanded. New offices were opened; new people were hired. And profits per equity (PEP) partner in the sector – the industry's holy grail – followed an inexorable upward trajectory.
Then the financial crisis hit. For the first time in a generation the cost side of the P&L came under scrutiny. PEP began falling and lawyers, including partners, started to get fired. This undoubtedly came as a bit of a shock to the industry. But most people thought the pain would be temporary and that after a few adjustments business would return to normal. That was then.
Five years on things appear rather different. There is a dawning realisation that life will probably never return to the good old days. Too much has changed permanently. At the 'premium' end of the corporate market – where the magic and silver circle firms operate – the pain is probably least acute (though competition from US law firms remains a real threat).
In the mid-tier, traditional pricing structures are under serious strain, with margins still heading in the wrong direction five years after hitting their peak. And at the commodity end of the market, the Internet and a corresponding change in consumer purchasing behaviour is driving a rethink of the entire business model. One has only to look at Quality Solicitors (an entirely new entrant to the market that has already captured significant market share) to see this.
And the other striking change that has occurred in the last few years is that lawyers themselves are becoming more and more mobile (a theme I will return to in a moment). Gone are the days when articled clerks progressed through the ranks of the same firm over a single career spanning 40 years.
So it isn't so much the Legal Services Act that has brought the theme of industry consolidation into focus as the commercial landscape in which lawyers are operating. There are simply too many law firms with the wrong cost structures chasing too little business. In these circumstances, consolidation is almost inevitable.
Early signs of it are already visible. At the volume end of the market 2012 has seen the acquisitions of Silverbeck Rymer by Quindell, Russell Jones & Walker by Slater & Gordon, QualitySolicitors by Palamon and Parabis by Duke Street (the last two being examples of outside capital backing 'buy and build' strategies).
The pace of mergers amongst law firms with a more corporate orientation has also begun to quicken: Pinsent Mason/McGrigors, Wedlake Bell/Cumberland Ellis and Clyde & Co/Barlow Lyde & Gilbert are examples of recent domestic transactions; Denton Wilde Sapte/Sonnenschein; Hammonds/Squire Saunders and Lovells/Hogan Hartson of international deals.
So where do we go from here? How much more consolidation in the industry are we likely to see? Over what period of time? And what form will this consolidation take?
We do not subscribe to the view that an investment banking type wave of consolidation is suddenly about to sweep through the legal sector. Equally, however, there seems to be some complacency in the industry about how many law firms are likely to survive in the medium to long term.
As outlined above the commercial landscape going forward suggests that some contraction in the number of law firms is almost inevitable. It's probably not too fanciful to think that of the 200 largest firms in the UK today, perhaps only half will survive. And generalist, smaller to mid-sized law firms operating without clear specialisations look, to us, to be particularly vulnerable.
Over what period of time might this occur? That's more difficult to predict. It could take a while. But extrapolating from other sectors, it's fair to say that, as a general rule, once consolidation in an industry starts, it tends to accelerate relatively quickly.
Finally – and perhaps the most intriguing question of all – what form might this consolidation take? Already two distinct models are visible. Of the four transactions at the volume end of the market that have been announced in 2012, all have been structured as genuine acquisitions (ie, where the acquirer pays goodwill for the business being acquired). So, for instance, Slater & Gordon acquired Russell Jones & Walker for a combination of cash and shares in a transaction valuing the latter at £53.8 million, a multiple of approximately 1x 2013 turnover and 4.9x 2013 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation).
The alternative model – and the one that currently seems to be favoured by the larger, corporate firms – involves the merging of two partnerships under a structure that sidesteps the issue of what each firm is actually worth. Effectively this model involves stapling two partnerships together (without any consideration changing hands) and addressing the economics of the combined entity through future employee remuneration rather than by reference to relative value at the point of merger.
For cultural reasons many law firms are likely to be more attracted to the second model. But in our view the 'winners' in the consolidation game are likely to be those firms that take the trouble to understand the first. Here's why:
In other sectors, public companies have a significant inbuilt advantage over private companies or partnerships in making acquisitions because they have a currency (tradeable shares) that enables them to fund such transactions without recourse to the debt markets. Here the distinction is likely to be between law firms that have genuine equity (whether tradeable or not) and those that remain as lockstep partnerships.
Those that do corporatise are likely to hold a similar advantage by being able to offer tangible consideration to the partners of the law firms they wish to acquire which, in turn, will incentivise them more directly to work towards the economic success of the combined entity.
The process of converting partnerships to corporate entities (or partnerships with corporate entities underneath them) will not be straightforward for most law firms – particularly those that have overseas earnings. But in our view the effort of doing so will be worth it – not only because it will facilitate the process of making acquisitions, but also for another arguably even more important reason.
As the pace of consolidation quickens in the legal sector, lawyers themselves may become more, rather than less mobile. Already is it common to see entire teams moving from one firm to another. In a rapidly evolving market, this trend may well become even more common. The best lawyers will inevitably gravitate towards those firms they perceive to be the 'winners' in this brave new world.
And, irrespective of whether these 'winners' have joined the acquisition trail, if they are able to offer lateral hires (or, indeed, their own star performers) genuine equity in their business, they are more likely to be able to retain the best talent.
Lawyers today probably face more difficult strategic challenges than at any time in the recent past. There is no 'one size fits all' solution. But converting to being a corporate entity seems to us to be a fairly intelligent place to start.

Plaintiff Wilson Tool moved to dismiss Mate Precision's counterclaim for inequitable conduct, and Magistrate Thorson recommended granting the motion. Wilson and Mate compete in the manufacture of tools and products for sheet metal fabricators, and Wilson sued Mate for infringement of two patents (the '994 and '337 patents) directed to punch assemblies and methods for modifying such assemblies. Mate counterclaimed that Wilson committed inequitable conduct with respect to the '337 patent by failing to specifically disclose a final rejection from the prosecution of the '994 patent and by failing to provide physical "specimens" to the '337 examiner that it had provided to the '994 examiner. Wilson countered that it had disclosed the co-pending prosecution of the '994 patent to the '337 examiner, but Mate alleged that Wilson committed inequitable conduct by "failing to sufficiently highlight the information" at issue.
Judge Wright denied St. Jude's motion to dismiss Niazi's claims for induced, contributory, and willful infringement of Niazi's patent to a catheter for the coronary sinus.
As to induced infringement, St. Jude argued that Niazi's complaint failed to allege awareness of the patent-in-suit or a specific intent to encourage infringement. Niazi's complaint simply alleged that St. Jude "was aware of the patent" prior to filing of the complaint, "encouraged the end users to use" the product, and "knew that the use" would infringe. Judge Wright reasoned that while these allegations "are not particularly comprehensive or specific, they nonetheless are factual allegations" sufficient to put St. Judge on notice of the claim. Niazi's claims for contributory infringement were similarly high-level, but Judge Wright denied St. Jude's motion to dismiss them for similar reasons as the inducement claims.
As to willful infringement, Niazi's allegations were simply that St. Jude knew of the patent, and knew its actions to be infringing. St. Judge argued that post-Halo, Niazi was required to provide more specificity (e.g., allegations as to how St. Jude allegedly knew of the patent). Judge Wright denied the motion to dismiss willfulness, reasoning that, at the pleading stage, the Court would accept the factual allegation that St. Jude knew of the patent before the complaint and knew it was infringing. As such, a motion to dismiss was improper, even if Niazi may ultimately be unable to assemble evidence to prove those allegations.


So a good idea !!!

Now that my thoughts are more clear I am able to really appreciate what I have done. I have given myself permission to live. When I smoked I didn't even know why I was smoking. I would tell myself that I would finish what I was doing and then go smoke. As if what I was doing was going to answer me back and say yes or no. I would give myself permission to do something I knew was not good for me. Interesting about smoking outdoors is that the air which is good to breathe (I don't really think we breathe anything else to survive) becomes not good and takes away the pleasure of breathing in fresh air. Now that the smoke has cleared I take a breath and enjoy it. I can inhale and not choke. I can breathe while looking at the trees and actually see them without clouds of smoke in front of them. I gave myself permission to smoke, but now I am giving myself the freedom by not smoking. What a breath of fresh air.
This is great!! That you so much!!!
Thanks Barb. It's great to be in this community with you.
What a wonderful, insightful, encouraging blog! SO happy that you are discovering all the good things about quitting smoking.
You may still have a few challenging days. File a memory of today away to call upon if needed.
Your words are not lost on me. Thanks for the encouraging words and yes I will keep the polaroid picture of this afternoon with me at all times. I am hoping to take a lot more of them. Have a great night.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring blog post, you are doing super fantastic with your awesome quit, yay for each and every precious days WON!
Thank you Marilyn. I am loving each and every precious day!
Enjoy that breath it gets better and better. Encouraging blog! Keep with NOPE you will go far. Your doing great!
Will do Shashort and thank you.
Now your talking! Love you, your doing great!
Isn't quitting the most beautiful gift? I wish I'd given it to myself many, many years ago.
That's just lovely! I notice that going outside for fresh air also helps with the headaches. BTW, I think you have beautiful hair!
Thanks Annette. It's raining here today, so I do have a headache and not sure going outside will make it better. I do enjoy the deep breath when the weather is clear.


The town of Gruyères will attempt to make the world's biggest ever meringue this weekend as part of a festival celebrating its famous double cream.
The village's first ever Double Cream Festival kicks off on Saturday June 4th and will culminate in the world record attempt on Sunday.
La Gruyère double cream is a speciality of the area and is often served with meringues, also made widely in the Fribourg region.
"Organizers were looking for a special event for the festival, and what accompanies double cream best but meringues?" local artisan chocolatier Richard Uldry told daily paper Le Matin.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this particular record is not one that is frequently contested. It was set in 1986 by the Swiss village of Meiringen in the canton of Bern, where the meringue is said to have been invented in about 1600.
That meringue was 2.4 metres long and 1.5m wide.
On Sunday Gruyères intends to royally smash Meiringen's record by constructing a 100 metre-long meringue in the classic Swiss 'ripple' shape, put together by nine artisan meringue-makers in the village.
Some 1,000 egg whites and 100 kilos of sugar will be needed to construct the giant meringue, predict organizers.
Once made, the sweet treat will be served with dollops of double cream to members of the public attending the festival.
The main aim of the festival is to "honour the richness of the gastronomy in La Gruyère and make double cream better known beyond cantonal and national borders", organizers said.
The price of a ticket to the festival includes 10 tastings of double cream, served within different sweet and savoury dishes including truffles, soup, cakes and macaroni cheese.
The festival will also feature a cream-making demonstration, live folk music, a cow procession and an exhibition of cream spoons.

MUSEUM NOTES
The Allen County-Fort Wayne Historical Society Museum in the Swinney Homestead, Fort Wayne, received in May from Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Carey an imposing gift embracing three cases of glassware, china, and pottery assembled by Dr. and Mrs. Carey over a period of more than twenty years. Other miscellaneous items which have been in the museum as a loan from the Careys were also included in the gift. Among the many relics in the collection with an interesting historical background are several wine glasses used by Captain William Wells, who married an Indian princess, Chief Little Turtle's sister, a small trunk in which the captain kept his papers, a pair of blown whale oil lamps, and a peg lamp made in England, the earliest type of lamp used in this country. The whole collection is to be known as the Carey Exhibit.
The Lawrence County Historical Society Museum, Bedford, has lately acquired several interesting and unusual items. Among them are three sets of hoops received from Mrs. Edith Fountain, near Norman the hoops had been stored for years in the loft of an old log house in the neighborhood. One set of hoops is made of bands of wire taped together from waist to floor with an extra wire bustle at the back. Among other donations are a collection of clippings and pictures bearing on the history of Spring Mill Park and articles which belonged to the late Zora I. Askew, former president of the society, presented to the museum by Harry Askew, her husband. The latter material includes a scrapbook compiled by Mrs. Askew
