During the age of Facebook, and of virtual hyperealities, teaching literature is underdeveloped, but the most valuable. The lack of technological adaptation is not a threat, but a challenge to the teacher of literature. Technological advancements and lack of educational budget puts literature teachers at challenging points, favoring teachers who share their knowledge in the technical fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medicine. But considering this inevitable fact, literature teachers address the challenge by proving themselves worth it. Time comes when students realize that the most valuable knowledge they have ever known originates from literature.
Consider this: Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, widely known as STEM, are where majority of the parents prefer to put their children because doing so does not make them wait a few more years to reap the fruits of their "investment" to their children. Their stereotypical judgment on technical course – that it will always leads to gaining instant money on their side – is a disappointing thought, which sometimes forces a student to study a course that does not interest him or her.
With the acronym sounding like the working backbone of everything, being the center of what we consider as the real world we call the corporation, we refer to them as the STEM. As what colloquial terms dictate engaging into those STEM courses is the only way to grow in an island, which is untrue.
With parents experiencing pressure to pay for their bills and settling their needs in life, the pleasure of studying is eclipsed by pressure. This has a long-term impact on the number of literature graduates teaching literature courses, which puts a University at the edge of becoming just a machine capable of producing graduates inclined in gaining money in the corporate world. On the other hand, we could not just imagine a University without liberal arts.
We could never imagine a school not teaching humanities and literature. On the other hand, disregarding literature courses will break the chain of academia practically in any University majors. It is like a bottle without soda or an ocean without water. It is like eating a chicken sandwich without chicken, like a body without soul.
Studying literature is different, much more when one teaches it. Technical courses provide a yardstick difficulty to the students and they teach to mold the students, which aims to generate uniform actions like a factory. In any given college major, may it be in STEM or Liberal Arts, what gives shape to anybody and provides distinction is the teacher of literature. Without a teacher in literature, studying in a University or in any schools will be boring and meaningless. Teaching literature is like reshaping an otherwise considered unchangeable and stiff. It is how one tames a wild beast. Engaging a student to various forms of literary works whether it is local or international is life-changing. Engineers having knowledge of Virgil, nurses with The Fish Hair Woman mean that they are not only having superficial lives, but the soul which is capable of changing other people's lives.
Seeing the horizon of the future of literature and its teaching in the modern world, one might further ask, still, is there a space for a teacher to hold on to? Provided that everyone does need University education, yes, and we also want to gain money after graduation, and the corporate world is waiting for us, and there is a need for teachers of literature, is there a need for a teacher in literature in the digital age?
A long but worthwhile read for anyone who remotely cares about literature, humanities, and technology:

Truthers as Terrorists: Who are the terrorists today?
A Canadian reporter has introduced a new phrase, "terrorist truthers", as the initial stage in creating a new semantic club to use against critics of government ops and of false flag attacks.
A Canadian reporter has introduced a new phrase, "terrorist truthers", as the initial stage in creating a new semantic club to use against critics of government ops and of false flag attacks.
This past weekend, two conferences on JFK were held to observe the 50th year since the publication of The Warren Report (1964). They were in close proximity to one another in Washington, D.C.
The evidence substantiating the scenario of the assassination as a national security event is extensive and compelling.
Among the most contentious issues in JFK research has been whether Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of JFK, was caught in a famous photo taken by AP photographer James "Ike" Altgens in (what is known as) the Altgens6.
An unprecedented conference entitled, "Academic Freedom: Are there Limits to Inquiry? JFK, 9/11 and the Holocaust", was held at the University of Illinois UC, Illini Union, Room 314A, from 9 AM-6 PM/CT on 26 April 2014.
Having encountered the abuse of Wikipeida for political purposes both in relation to the entry for Scholars for 9/11 Truth, "Wikipedia as a 9/11 disinformation op", and in relation to my own biographical entry, "James H. Fetzer — Wikipedia NOT", I suppose I should not have been surprised.
Far from assassinating President Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald was a loyal American who warned the FBI in writing in Oct., 1963, that there was a plot afoot to shoot JFK if he came to Chicago, a new book asserts.
In a shocking development, Alen J. Salerian, M.D., the former top psychiatrist for the FBI, is about to be involuntarily committed to a prison psychiatric facility for indefinite detention.
- Among the most disputed issues in JFK research is whether or not the presidential limousine came to a halt after bullets began to be fired
While I have severely criticized Noam Chomsky, whom I regard as a left-wing gatekeeper on the major issues of our time, including the assassination of JFK and the atrocities of 9/11…
By Jim Fetzer and James Norwood "Years ago, when I remarked to Gordon Duff that I thought 50% of the JFK research community was working for the other side, he corrected me, 'No, it's 90%'"–Jim Fetzer The announcement by John Simkin that he is going to allow The Education Forum to languish when the time comes later […]
Imagine my astonishment at discovering that The Washingtonian–a more sophisticated version of The National Enquirer, which, in this case, specializes in high-end gossip about people and politics in Washington, D.C.–had done a hit piece on my good friend, Alen J. Salerian, M.D., the former top shrink for the FBI.
Six shooters who participated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, including three with ties to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA….
The film by Shane O'Sullivan, "Killing Oswald", premiered 17 November 2013, at the Texas Theater in Dallas, where Lee Oswald was arrested on 22 November 1963….
by Jim Fetzer and Press TV William Colby, the former director of the CIA, told us that the agency owns everyone of significance in the mass media. The onslaught of false and misleading reports during the 50th observance of the assassination of JFK provided stunning confirmation that he was correct. None of the national […]
Individual soldiers deserted in huge numbers, whole units refused to fight, there was rebellion in some Barracks, and numerous incidents of fragging, some preceded by warning for officers and non-coms to back off, other not.
he alteration of the home movies of the assassination of JFK is among the most powerful proofs of government complicity in the assassination.
It is the prospect of regional peace and prosperity – not Iran's nuclear program – that strikes terror into the hearts of the Zionists.
If they can't refute you, they insult you.
The crux of The Warren Commission Report (1964) is the claim that the same bullet that hit JFK in the back also hit Gov. John Connally, which the report itself downplays the "magic bullet" theory as "not necessary to any essential findings of the Commission".
Those of us who deal with the complex and controversial issues of our time, such as the death of JFK, the plane crash that took the life of Sen. Paul Wellstone, the atrocities of 9/11, Sandy Hook and the Boston bombing are inclined to welcome any coverage we receive from the main stream media or even a close approximation, since CIA domination of the media has made that all but impossible.
- Dulles of course played a key role in the cover-up, heavily influencing the bizarre findings of the Warren Commission.
JFK fought the Federal Reserve system and it may have got him killed. Could Bitcoin, the peer-to-peer technology that operates with no central authority or banks, have saved John F. Kennedy?
The CIA handled logistics. But who REALLY "called the shots" ?
"I want to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds."
For five years or more, I was the informal co-host with Len Osanic on Black Op Radio, which in my view has overall had a positive impact on JFK research.
For some time and across a broad range of different issues, I have had concerns about Jim DiEugenio, author of Destiny Betrayed, 2nd ed., which explores New Orleans DA Jim Garrison's attempt to prosecute Clay Shaw, and of Reclaiming Parkland, which amazon.com describes as investigating Tom Hanks's failed attempt to adapt Vincent Bugliosi's massive book Reclaiming History into a mini-series and as exposing the origins of that book in a mock trial pitting Bugliosi against attorney Gerry Spence.
The distinctive feature of this "reenactment" may be its emphasis on the three feet between JFK and Connally as though what happened from the time it hit the back of his neck and exited his throat did not matter.
By Jim Fetzer (with David S. Lifton) "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves"― Vladimir Ilyich Lenin As serious students of the death of JFK are aware, the FBI and the Secret Service concluded on the day of the assassination that there had been three shots and three hits: * the […]
The kidnapping and desecration of the corpse of America's greatest president is one of our biggest national horror stories.

Von Zipper Rail Shred Starts with A Bang
The Scene was set this morning as the sun rose revealing a fresh dusting of snow and clear skies at Snow Park. The course directors said, game on and the Billabong Bro Down kicked off with the Von Zipper Rail Shred..
A host of International and local riders put on a high stakes show for the crowd, as they shredded rail, looking to win the Pacific Blue flights to anywhere in the South Pacific.
Taking out the mens division was Kiwi Nick Poochoff, winning both the Best Overall and best trick pulling a 50-50 Frontside 270 frontside boardsider to regular out.
The womens division was highly competitive with Rebbecca Torr, pushing the skill level, but it was Stefi Luxton who took best trick with a 50-50 swivel switch on the round bar and Christy Prior taking out the Best overall with her styling tail presses.
Junior Mens started with a couple casualties but quickly became swamped by Jay Walsh who tookout best overall and best trick.
The event was finished off with Von Zipper putting on a mellow sausage sizzle keeping all spectators and riders stoked.
The Von Zipper rail shred pres. by Pacific Blue was also supported by Monster, Sony and Snow Park.

China is the focus of complaints from the U.S., Japan and the EU over metals used in electronic devices
WASHINGTON — The Office of U.S. Trade Representative has elevated a trade complaint by asking for the World Trade Organization to establish a dispute settlement panel to rule on U.S. claims that China is unfairly restraining exports of rare earth materials used in electronics and other products.
The European Union and Japan on Wednesday also requested a dispute settlement panel at the WTO, the USTR said in a press release. In March, the U.S., E.U. and Japan filed a WTO complaint, accusing China of using several types of export restraints on the rare earth materials, including export duties, export quotas, export and pricing requirements.
China produces more than 95 per cent of the world's rare earth materials. The U.S. complaint covers rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum, used in the manufacturing of mobile phones, laptops and MP3 players as well as hybrid car batteries, wind turbines, steel and petroleum.
"These materials are key inputs in a multitude of U.S. manufacturing sectors and American-made products," U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in a statement. "It is vital that U.S. workers and manufacturers obtain the fair and equal access to raw materials like rare earths that China specifically agreed to when it joined the WTO."
When China joined the WTO in 2001, it agreed to eliminate export duties for rare earths and most other products, the USTR said.
"Despite China's characterizations, its export restraint measures on rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum appear to be part of a troubling industrial policy aimed at providing substantial competitive advantages for Chinese manufacturers at the expense of foreign manufacturers," the USTR said in its press release.
Representatives of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., didn't respond to a request for comment,.
The WTO dispute resolution process has several steps. The whole process can take longer than a year if the dispute settlement panel's decision is appealed. Ultimately, the WTO could allow trade sanctions in a WTO dispute.Related Download

"What not thy conscience whispers yell
That fearful hearts wish to dispell..."
In the dark days of Autumn 2008 began an exploration that turned into an odyssey. In the midst of a loss of personal clarity and identity and struggling to redefine one's self, it was decided that instead of trying to refuse that the darkness existed, it would be delved into, explored, accepted to attempt to understand. That quest was the beginning of Conscience Whispers--the outward, musical and poetic expression of the inner shadows of Mike 2C. This is his story:
We all have multi-faceted souls. The depths of which we cannot possibly comprehend. Impulses...why...? Feelings of action and fear the source of which...somewhere... How can we understand? Most do what they can to avoid or ignore...whilest the pall is cast...from out of which light is scarce...and the soul... What would happen were we to embrace? Would we be consumed?
Darkness...is it not bad simply because it is dark? Misunderstood? The source or ourselves? Deeply...where...? Transient, but ubiquitous...invisible, yet all encompassing. A source of Source...Shadow source. Shadow selves. Shadow matter... Conscience whispers...Can you hear...?

Negative competition advocacy, or the importance of leading by inaction
Advocacy is one of the key missions of competition authorities. The benefits of competition are not always well understood, or are not necessarily given the same prominence as other interests in policy debates. What is not emphasised enough is that these same authorities have an equally important role to play when it comes to dismissing unsubstantiated concerns. There are some issues that – sometimes due to effective lobbying – give rise to a great deal of controversy but that turn out to be wholly unproblematic upon closer scrutiny. It would be desirable if, when dealing with these concerns, authorities were explicit about the reasons why they conclude that action is unwarranted and contributed to public discussions by explaining why what looks like a blatantly anticompetitive strategy is sometimes a subtler manifestation of competition on the merits. This is what I call negative competition advocacy.
Recent developments provide a couple of emblematic examples of the areas where negative advocacy is most needed. One is about net neutrality, arguably the catchiest slogan of the decade (which, moreover, was coined and popularised by a most charismatic academic). I have not yet come across a theory that provides a convincing case for net neutrality (which, in essence, means that all Internet services should be treated equally). Unfortunately, sector-specific regulation is not always adopted for the right reasons. What seems clear, on the other hand, is that the concerns underlying net neutrality (in particular, that telecommunications operators block or discriminate against competing services) are, by and large, a non-issue from a competition law perspective. Therefore, I am not surprised that the Commission closed, earlier this month, an investigation into 'Internet connectivity services' (which Commissioner Almunia linked to the net neutrality debate in his speeches). After the unannounced inspections carried out in July 2013, the authority has come to the conclusion that 'the observed practices do not appear to breach EU antitrust law'. I only regret that the press release does not explain more about the reasons behind the decision.
Another issue that makes the headlines every now and then is the use of private labels by supermarket chains (as net neutrality, it is a discrimination-related concern). For some reason, the idea that grocery stores sell products under their own brand and give these brands more favourable treatment is perceived to be deeply problematic (this is at least the impression one gets when reading newspapers). Authorities should explain clearly that there is nothing wrong, per se, in such practices. The speech delivered by the Director General for Competition on 2 October is a very good example of the way forward. Alexander Italianer presented the findings of a year-long study on retail competition in the grocery sector. The study came with good news. Contrary to the widespread view, it would seem that competition is working fine on the whole in these markets. The Director General unambiguously stated that private labels 'do not appear to hamper choice and innovation', at least so in 'moderately concentrated retail markets'. I hope these words (and, more importantly, the hard evidence backing them) will be taken into consideration at the national level, where regulatory instincts (and the lobbying that comes with them) are sometimes very strong.
More examples where negative advocacy could be useful? Think of Apple's recent decision to stop selling Bose products from its stores. It looks like a refusal to deal. Even worse, it is a disruption that follows Apple's acquisition of Beats, one of Bose's competitors. Is this problematic from a competition law standpoint? Not really. I quote Alexander Italianer: 'practices such as these are only a matter of competition law, if they have an impact on the overall functioning of the market. For instance, if a retailer twists the arm of a supplier in individual bilateral negotiations, then he may well be in the wrong, but it falls beyond the scope of competition enforcement'.
A Nobel moment
Congratulations to Jean Tirole on the Nobel Prize! I cannot imagine anybody being unhappy or disappointed about this year's pick. Even though he is just 61, I am ready to say the prize comes a little late. I confess I have been waiting for this moment since at least 2009, when it went to Elinor Ostrom and Oliver Williamson. The upside of waiting a few more years is that the award comes solo this time, comme il le fallait.
He is one of these economists who does not need an introduction. He is the author of The Book on Industrial Organisation (le Tirole) and has made fundamental contributions in the field. For instance, his 2003 landmark paper (with Jean-Charles Rochet) on two-sided markets has proved to be enormously influential, as Groupement des Cartes Bancaires and MasterCard show. Competition in Telecommunications, written jointly with the late Jean-Jacques Laffont, is one of my favourite books, and is a good introduction to his work on regulation. I guess I could keep going for a while (for instance, I remember discussing his work on open source software with a colleague the other day).
On bus lanes and State resources: AG Wahl in Eventech
The best way to start the first post I write after my 'formal' induction into the blog is, I tell myself, by referring to one I wrote back in July, and which concerned the preliminary references in Eventech and Kunsten Informatie and Media. The two AG opinions came out during the Court's hyperproductive month of September. While I still think the two cases are relatively straightforward in terms of substance, it makes sense to write a couple of notes on Eventech (in the form of two separate posts).
You may remember that the key question in that case was whether regulation allowing black cabs (the iconic London taxis) to use bus lanes and excluding the so-called minicabs (private hire vehicles) entails the use of State resources. The answer, in my view, is an obvious no. It is in fact a good textbook example showing that advantages within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU are not always granted through the use of State resources. The position taken by AG Wahl therefore comes as no surprise to me. It is rather the orderly analysis of the question that inspired me to write this post.
When going through it, I thought, first, of AG Jacobs' classic opinion in PreussenElektra. It seems difficult to believe, but many of the issues that now seem straightforward were far from established when that opinion was written back in year 2000 (which, or so I like to think, is not such a long time ago). If a masterful analysis was necessary to put some order into a set of scattered and seemingly contradictory precedents, this must mean that State aid has come of age only relatively recently.
Second, I thought that I had never seen such a careful dissection of the different ways in which State resources may be involved in a case. Eventech had raised several arguments trying to link the regulatory advantage to the use of resources by the State. For instance, the firm argued that black cabs can be said to be exempted from fines for using the bus lanes, which, in turn, leads to a loss of revenue for the State. The opinion is valuable not because this argument, or similar ones, were particularly powerful or persuasive, but due to the way in which they are examined by AG Wahl. To this day, I still have misgivings about the treatment of some issues in landmark cases like Sloman Neptun. From this perspective, the opinion sets a model for the future, in particular to the extent that the Court had seemingly never been confronted with some factual scenarios that were relevant in this case.
I will write something in the coming days about the advantage aspect of Eventech. Before that, I will end on a personal note. I took an Uber cab this summer for a fairly long ride and one of the many questions with which I pestered the driver had to do with this case. Interestingly, he was of the opinion that the regulatory regime in place makes sense. He said that traffic would be unmanageable in London if minicabs were allowed to use bus lanes. And he thought he would rather be subject to lighter regulatory obligations, even if it means giving up some privileges. Thoughtful and sensible, I would say.
A new kid on the blog: Introducing Pablo Ibañez Colomo
As I said in my farewell post to Nicolas, I don't think it's good for this blog to be run only by a practitioner like myself, so we have a "new" luxury addition to the team.
As of today, Pablo Ibáñez Colomo, who's already been writing here for the past few months, has finally cracked and will join Chillin'Competition as editor. Most readers of this blog already know Pablo. He's an Associate Professor of Law at the London School of Economics; prior to that was a teaching assistant at the College of Europe for three years (I was actually his student there), completed his PhD at the European University Institute in Florence (he was also Visiting Researcher at Stanford during his research period) and, among other things, is also one of the authors of the best competition law textbook ever written (in Spanish).
More importantly, like Nicolas, Pablo is also a reputed young and independent academic, a brilliant guy, a very good friend, a person whose ideas often differ from mine. On top of that, and in case you haven't realized yet, he's probably even geekier than Nicolas and myself :)
P.S. We will also be accepting more "guests posts", so feel free to contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com) in case you have an urge to get anything off your chest.
On Nicolas Petit leaving Chillin'Competition and on reasons to continue it
(Cautionary note: as this post is rather lengthy and rather personal, you won't lose too much if you skip it).
Last Friday Nico announced that he was quitting Chillin'Competition, so this blog loses its founder and main figure (although it's true that there weren't so many).
In order to dispel the rumors that seem to be going around I'll address them directly: no, it's not a hoax; no we haven't fought (in fact we had lunch together today, as witnessed by some prominent Commission officials, one of whom even said that it was good to see that we were still talking to each other despite the rumors…); no he didn't have an affair with my wife (at least not that I know of) nor me with his girlfriend (apparently because I'm not attractive enough), and no, his move is not due to political pressures from his home country after our posts on Arnaud Montebourg (see here and here) provoked the French Government's collapse.
So, yes, Nico is leaving the platform he created back in September 2009 (I only joined a few weeks later –on 8 October 2009-, initially as a guest, and I'm still grateful for his invitation for me to join, particularly because back then he was already well known and I was a very young associate at a Spanish law firm whom he really didn't know that much). For some reason it worked, and in the course of these 5 years –time flies- we have written no less than 960 posts(!) and had 800,000 visits. His creature fared well.
Nicolas and I certainly didn't have the same views on some substantive issues and we naturally did have divergences, all of them because he always wanted me to be more politically incorrect and I always told him not to play the enfant terrible. But I think the mix contributed to this blog being less one-sided and hopefully more interesting.
As for the real reasons behind this decision, he can explain better, but I think he summed it up well when he said that "the thrill is gone". His quitting the blog fits within a reshuffling of priorities that also includes his resignation as Director of the Global Competition Law Center. As I'm writing I've just recalled that, interestingly, both of these moves were already anticipated in a post he wrote 3 years ago listing possible things to quit from "in order to refocus a little on things that really matter".
As he said in his farewell post, we had been discussing this for a while. I even wrote here back in July that "you should expect some significant changes in Chillin'Competition after the summer holidays" . To tell the truth, at the time I was thinking of quitting myself.
I saw plenty of reasons to do it. For one, finding the time to think things through and write properly about them was becoming impossible, with the result that our publications weren't nearly as good as we'd like them to be and wouldn't reflect well on us. On top of that, which has been a constant over these years, I felt that what used to be a fun exercise now had become an obligation, that I was running out of ideas worth your and my time, and that what used to be a fresh approach to things wasn't really anymore. No less important, what I enjoy is actual lawyering, and was –and still am- quite weary of being seen more as a blogger than as a lawyer, even if a bit of that is, I guess, inevitable. And most important of all, my first son was about to be born (Edu came on August 30th) and I want to save all my non-working time for him. As you can see, and as this esteemed guy observed back then over a beer or two, it really sounded like I'd made up my mind. [Actually, all this is starting to sound compelling again!]
This is all to say that when Nicolas gave me some of the same arguments in support of his contemplated move, I understood him perfectly. And the fact that he'd already quit posting 6 months ago whilst at DG Comp certainly broke the inertia and made the decision easier for him.
At the same time, it also made me reconsider my own position. For one, I thought it'd be a pity for the two of us to leave and let the blog die; not because it has any social value –which it obviously hasn't and we surely could do more useful things with our time- but because, after all, we've had fun doing it, we're even told that at times our writings may have even had an influence in the application/interpretation of the law (which, if true, I'm not sure is positive for the law, though) and it has also enabled us to meet very interesting people.
Many advised us to continue with the blog because it is good as a matter of "visibility". Indeed, when we have asked for advice about terminating it, many –particularly lawyers- replied that we shouldn't do it because it gives us visibility, as if that were per se a good thing. To that I consistently responded that visibility cuts both ways, that any stupidity we might write would also be very visible, that sometimes it's preferable to remain silent and look stupid than to open one's mouth to confirm that appearances don't lie, and that it's a bit of a problem that our most visible work is precisely that which –unlike real work- is done hastily and not always upon careful reflection.
I confess that the main reason why I'll remain writing here even with Nicolas gone, at the least for as long as the baby is still a baby (I see too many people in this job with skewed priorities), is one of intellectual hygiene. For some reason I can only think properly about something when I write or teach about it. So even if it may be uncomfortable to commit to finding the time and the ideas to write here, and even if I'll have to remain being careful with balancing it with my real job, I guess this is a good way of forcing myself out of the comfort zone to continue learning.
Since I don't think it's good for the blog to be run only by a practitioner like myself, a new addition to the team will be announced in the coming hours. Your ideas and suggestions on the way to go will also be very welcome.
A last note: Nicolas is quitting regular posting but I hope that he'll be willing to contribute from time to time. We will also continue to work together in the Brussels School of Competition, the Madrid course and possibly in some other projects under the Chillin'Competition brand. And you won't get rid of ads, because I've promised him to continue advertising all his events and publications here.
In sum, thanks so much, Nico, and you know you'll always be most welcome if you ever want to return chez toi.
To all readers,
After a long period of silence – part of it was Commission-imposed – the shareholders of chillincompetition have decided to transform this blog.
From today onwards, the blog moves from joint to sole control. In plain words, I quit, and leave the blog in Alfonso's hands.
We discussed this together, but the reasons for exit are compelling.
Paraphrasinging BB King: "The Thrill is gone, it's gone away for good".
Alfonso's challenge is now to find a new "bad cop", to keep a sane degree of political incorrectness on this platform.

The Interface between Competition and the Internal Market – Market Separation under Article 102 TFEU

2. the drain in State aids imposed on Belgian Universities;
=> this advertisement is my sole way to get a copy of this new book.
Vasiliki Brisimi
This book explores the interface between competition law and market integration in the application of Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), focusing on the notion of market separation namely conduct that may hinder cross-border trade. The discussion reviews, among other things, the treatment of geographic price discrimination and exclusionary abuse, by which out-of-state competitors are affected.
Market separation cases are treated in the book as a case study for appraising the interface between competition and the Internal Market. On this basis, the book provides a comparative analysis of the Treaty requirements under Article 102 TFEU when applied in market separation cases and the Treaty requirements under the free movement provisions. In addition, it utilises market separation cases as a springboard for advancing an informed reformulation of the application of Article 102 TFEU when state action comes into play.
All in all, the analysis presented in the book deconstructs the elements for establishing market separation as an abuse of the dominant position. It shows that there is nothing that would justify a distinctive treatment of market separation under Article 102 TFEU, other than a principled understanding of Internal Market law as a whole: whatever understanding one reaches about the proper shape of the Internal Market, interrogation of the proper application of competition law comes after that and thus should be informed by this understanding.

Justice Dept. Ends Decade-Long Prosecution of Sami Al-Arian, Palestinian Professor and Activist
The Justice Department has dropped its criminal prosecution of Sami Al-Arian, a Palestinian professor and activist, in a case that followed an initial trial that began in 2003. Watch our 2007 exclusive interview with Al-Arian, who spoke to Democracy Now! from prison while he was on hunger-strike. The Palestinian professor and activist's case has been one of the most closely watched — and controversial — post-9/11 prosecutions in the United States.
Al-Arian was first accused of being involved in the group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but a Florida jury failed to return a single guilty verdict on any of the seventeen charges against him. Still, he chose jail time rather than undergo a second trial after prosecutors refiled charges. His defense lawyers argued prosecutors violated his plea deal by subsequently charging him for refusing to testify in cases that have nothing to do with him.
On Friday, federal prosecutors said they would give up on the contempt case. "In light of the passage of time without resolution, the United States has decided that the best available course of action is to move to dismiss the indictment so that action can be taken to remove the defendant from the United States," wrote prosecutor Gordon Kromberg.
The Al-Arian family welcomed the news in a statement released through their attorney: "It has been a long and difficult 11 years for our family in what has ultimately been shown to be a political case... We hope that today's events bring to a conclusion the government's pursuit of Dr. Al-Arian and that he can finally be able to resume his life with his family in freedom."
See our 2003 interview with Al-Arian and his attorney, David Cole.

Hi Babes. I am looking for random hair photos to post on HTHG. I was so inspired by Internet K hole's found photo zine that I stumbled upon in San Francisco……I decided that I have to do a similar series on HTHG.
I am looking for prom pictures, 80's perms, grandma in curlers, mohawks, bowl cuts, baby fuzz, whateves. Photos that you look at and say "Oh my god I look at that hair." .
I am dying to see the great hair-through-the-ages photos that you find, and would LOVE the chance to publish them here.
Please send photos to email@example.com, with a small caption or a tiny history or a couple of words with them. Let's share some hair.

OAKDALE, N.Y. (AP) — A Long Island lobsterman who spent 12 hours floating in the Atlantic Ocean after falling off his boat joked Thursday that he may have the two rubber boots that kept him afloat bronzed.
John Aldridge was rescued a day earlier when the Coast Guard found him floating in the ocean off of Montauk Point, about 40 miles from where he tumbled off the 44-foot lobster boat Anna Mary at about 3 in the morning.
Aldridge, 45, was treated at a hospital in Falmouth, Mass., for dehydration, exposure and hypothermia and released Thursday morning. Relatives drove him back to Long Island, where he arrived mid-afternoon to hugs from his parents and relatives, including young nephew Jake, who peppered him with questions about his experience.
"Shot" is how Aldridge described his overall condition, noting he had yet to get much sleep.
Aldridge, who has been a lobsterman for 19 years working out of Montauk, said he was preparing for a day of fishing when he attempted to move a beverage cooler.
"The handle broke off and I fell off the back of the boat. Just like that," he told reporters during a news conference outside his parents' home in Oakdale. "I just watched the boat float away."
Aldridge said while he had read books and articles about survival techniques, instincts really took over.
He noticed his calf-length rubber boots were allowing his feet to float higher in the water than his head, so he took off the boots, turned them upside down and filled them with air. He placed one under each arm and used them as flotation devices.
"Once I did that, I was good to go," he said. "The water was warm, my head was above water, so I was floating and I knew I had to conserve energy and that was it, I floated for hours."
He was able to see other boats in the area looking for him and noticed planes and helicopters overhead, but he just drifted for hours, he said.
"I saw everybody looking for me, and no one saw me," Aldridge said.
At about midafternoon Wednesday, he noticed a Coast Guard jet flying overhead; about 30 minutes later, a Coast Guard helicopter was hovering and soon a swimmer was in the water helping him.
"I've been looking for you for nine hours," Aldridge said the rescuer told him. He countered, "I've been looking for you for 12 hours."
While he was adrift, he said, his thoughts were of family and friends back home.
"I was like, 'There's no way I'm dying this way.' I was like, 'This is how I gotta go?' No way," Aldridge said. "So I just put my head to thinking survival mode and I wasn't dying that way. Dying wasn't an option."
His father, John Aldridge Sr., joked to his son not to reveal the brand name on the boots to reporters: "Not until we get a contract offer."
