Institutional Investor Releases Its 2013 All Europe Fixed-Income Research Team Survey Results

Tuesday, February 12, 2013 Institutional Investor has released the results of its 2013 All Europe Fixed Income Research Team survey. J.P. Morgan captures the top spot in the ranking for a third year running, while Barclays repeats at No. 2. Complete survey results can be found by visiting, http://bit.ly/12o7eMB.

Europes ongoing sovereign-debt crisis has driven demand for sell-side Investment research and helped fuel voter participation in this years survey. Nearly 800 investment professionals from some 380 buy-side institutions cast votes; those figures are up approximately 45 percent and 27 percent, respectively, from 2012.

Each of this years top five firms J.P. Morgan, Barclays, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley, respectively captures more total team positions this year than they did in 2012. Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the real standout; its team-position total more than doubled, from six to 13.

This years results also include two firms making their first appearance on the All-Europe Fixed-Income Research Team: Crdit Agricole Corporate Investment Bank (tied for No. 10) and UniCredit (No. 13).

The trend toward cross-asset-class investing has accelerated in the wake of the global financial meltdown, and several analysts who appear on this team also rank on its equity counterpart, the 2013 All-Europe Research Team, whose winners were announced last week, and can be found by visiting: http://bit.ly/iimagAERT.

Drunk driving laws and alcohol breath tests in Tennessee

Alcohol breath tests are one of the main ways in which drunk driving laws are enforced in Tennessee. While the measuring of one's blood alcohol content by way of an alcohol breath test is very much relied upon by law enforcement, these tests have their shortcomings. Those involved in drunk driving situations where an alcohol breath test is administered should be mindful of these shortcomings so as to avoid erroneous but incriminating results.

The role of alcohol breath tests in Tennessee drunk driving law

Tennessee drunk driving law links a person's blood alcohol content to the severity of the punishment for the crime of which a defendant might be accused. For example, a first-time DUI offender with a blood alcohol content of 2.0 or more will have a minimum jail time of seven consecutive days. Other crimes will require a BAC of 0.08 or more in order to apply. Whether it be the deciding factor in guilt for a particular crime itself, or merely a factor in determining the severity of the punishment, alcohol breath tests are not perfect.

Alcohol breath tests work with varying accuracy

Alcohol breath tests can be administered at the scene of the alleged crime, or soon after the arrest at a nearby police station or lab. Testing at the scene of the crime could lead to erroneous results. For example, bleeding in the mouth of any kind could lead to erroneously high results. Also keep in mind that vomiting, or even burping or hiccupping could artificially inflate the results, as these are all situations where the concentration of alcohol in one's breath could increase substantially.

Testing at the lab is far more reliable, and much more likely to hold up in court, but it remains imperfect. Depending upon whether the test is conducted based on the "whole blood" or the "blood serum," there could be as much as a 33 percent difference in the results of the test. It's bad enough that police may make mistakes, but it's particularly concerning to Tennessee residents that an accused person could be arrested due to a faulty test.

Consult and experienced DUI attorney

For those who have been arrested for DUI and subjected to an alcohol breath test, the best and perhaps only way to avoid the maximum penalty and punishment, and in some cases the very record of the arrest, is to contest the accuracy of the alcohol breath test.

The accused person's BAC is crucial under Tennessee drunk driving law and a criminal defense attorney's ability to call the accuracy of the alcohol breath test into question may be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal.
