Russia and Ukraine: a new crisis?
Russia has been back in the spotlight recently, after President Putin replaced his long-standing chief of staff Sergei Ivanov. Meanwhile, tensions have mounted in eastern Ukraine, prompting fears of a new Russian offensive. Russia is still heavily involved in Syria. Is a new crisis building? Gideon Rachman speaks with Kathrin Hille, the FT's Moscow bureau chief, and Neil Buckley, Eastern Europe editor.

Brazilians like to shrug off the country's woes by saying that as long as they have football and carnival, everything is fine, or "tudo certo". Now they have another reason to rejoice: US Olympic swimmers accused of allegedly fabricating a robbery in Rio de Janeiro. They may face charges for lying to officials. Read more
Theresa May, the UK prime minister, says that "Brexit means Brexit". But when will it actually happen?
The whole question of the timing of Britain's departure from the EU is now open to question. Britain has still not triggered Article 50, which gives formal notification that the UK intends to leave and fires the starting gun for negotiations. The Sunday Times claimed recently that Article 50 may not be triggered until late next year because of a mixture of administrative chaos in the UK and political uncertainty caused by elections in France and Germany in 2017.
Given that it will then probably take a minimum of two years to negotiate the divorce, that would mean that Britain's exit from the EU would not happen until the end of 2019. Over at the Independent, however, Andrew Grice makes the case that delaying Brexit this long is not politically feasible. Read more
One topic that I am following closely at the moment is the resurgence of Chinese nationalism and the growing nervousness of the country's neighbours. This piece by the BBC's Carrie Gracie on Chinese nationalism and the Olympics gives a broader insight into the country's growing victim mentality.
The FT's Jamil Anderlini wrote about the rising tide of Chinese nationalism in one of the best and most chilling pieces to appear in the paper this week. Read more
Donald Trump sought to reset his flailing candidacy with what his campaign billed as a major economic address on Monday in Detroit, with the property developer and former reality TV star promising to slash regulation, cut taxes in a "tax revolution" and revive manufacturing through an "America First" economic policy.
Trump's aim was to attract Republicans who have been repelled by some of his xenophobic rhetoric and erratic impulses. But an open letter signed by 50 senior Republican national security officials illustrates just how difficult that may be. In it, Republican former heads of the CIA, NSA and homeland security, among others, write, "none of us will ever vote for Donald Trump" because he "lacks the character, values and experience" to be president and "would put at risk our country's national security and wellbeing".

The battle for Syria's second city is both a grave humanitarian crisis and a potential turning point in the country's long civil war. The FT's Erika Solomon and David Gardner join Gideon Rachman.
Japan is a society where wheels operate inside wheels. That explains how, 30 years ago, your humble correspondent achieved a certain fame by becoming the tennis and dancing partner of the Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko of Japan, the couple who, two years later, would ascend to the Chrysanthemum Throne, from which Akihito on Monday signalled his intention to abdicate.
The proximate cause was the 40th anniversary ball of the Foreign Correspondent's Club of Japan, of which I was then president. I was told by the club staff that, as a matter of protocol we should invite the Imperial Couple but, not to worry, they would not come. So Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone became the principal guest of honour.
But on the Monday before the Friday black tie ball, I got a call in my office asking me to come over to the Akasaka Palace to discuss the circumstances of their attendance, one of which would be to disinvite the prime minister. The mixing of church and state, as it were, would be inappropriate, which Nakasone's office understood perfectly and said he would come for drinks with the honoured guests and be long gone by the time They arrived for dinner
They came, saw and conquered. I had been told They would leave after the dinner and toasts – mine to the Imperial family, his to the freedom of the press – but they didn't. They stayed through skits by club members and when the band struck up a tune, They took off for the dance floor. After a few seconds, my wife and I followed and stayed close to them as a waltz became a scrum. Read more

At the Democratic convention last week, I experienced an uncomfortable feeling of déjà vu. Emblazoned across the arena was the rallying cry of the Hillary Clinton campaign — "Stronger Together". It was a depressing reminder of "Stronger In," the slogan of the losing Remain campaign in Britain's referendum on EU membership.
So long, Philly. Democrats are streaming away from their party convention and heading home for the final 15-week sprint to the presidential election on November 8. It's going to be brutal.
Hillary Clinton left most of her party with a spring in its step after a rousing speech (by her standards) on Thursday night. Bill Clinton seemed to have a great time, judging by the fun he had with the balloons that fell from the ceiling. Read more

Donald Trump is renowned for knowing how to dominate a news cycle, but did he really intend to dominate today's? As the delegates at the Democratic convention cool down from the blistering Philadelphia heat outside, ahead of speeches tonight from Barack Obama, Tim Kaine and others, Trump has garnered a big chunk of attention for himself with his latest Russian turn.
In a press conference, he urged Moscow to track down and hand over tens of thousands of emails from Hillary Clinton's private server which have yet to be released. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press," he said.
Discord at the Democratic Convention
The Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia got off to a turbulent start this week, revealing deep divisions between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The FT's World News editor Ben Hall discusses what this means for Clinton's campaign for the White House with Washington bureau chief Demetri Sevastopulo and Gideon Rachmann, the FT's chief foreign affairs commentator.
It must be hard being Ted Cruz. Just when you assume there could not be more people who dislike you, your own support base turns on you. The Texas senator's decision not to endorse Donald Trump as the Republican candidate on Wednesday evening highlighted the divisions that have been simmering in Cleveland. Mr Cruz has the dubious honour of being the first person to be jeered at this convention — after Hillary Clinton, of course — and his wife, Heidi, had to be escorted from the arena.
Depending on your perspective, Cruz's address was petulant or noble — given the personal attacks he has endured from Trump. He attempted to address those concerns head-on with the Texas GOP delegation on Wednesday morning, explaining he was not a "servile puppy dog" to Trump. But there were plenty of detractors present. (Read our report on Cruz's clash with his own supporters here — and watch this video of Texans opining on what he has done.) Read more
Donald Trump has been a winner in Cleveland this week. But he has been a loser in Las Vegas.

Outside the perimeter of the Republican National Convention, protesters have beenmaking the case against Donald Trump's proposed wall with Mexico. Inside the convention, Marco Gutierrez, a 42 year-old Mexican-American mortgage broker, has found himself preaching a more unusual message: "Latinos for Trump".
"He's got life experience, knowledge and an ability to restore the economy. I've seen a lot of Latinos lose their savings. Donald Trump brings hope to businesses," Mr Gutierrez said in an interview. Read more
Following a failed military coup in Turkey, President Erdogan has launched a sweeping crackdown on alleged plot sympathisers. Who was responsible for the uprising? And how have Ankara's western allies responded? The FT's World News editor Ben Hall speaks to Mehul Srivastava, the FT's correspondent in Turkey, and former Turkey correspondent Daniel Dombey.
It was a carefully worded criticism – just 160 words long – that Barack Obama delivered to Poland's government on Friday, as the US president used the NATO summit in Warsaw to rebuke the country's right-wing ruling party for moves that have caused a constitutional crisis and seen it charged with endangering democracy.
But the subtle critique, which drew surprise among Polish journalists and anger among some ruling politicians, was months in the making, involved dozens of advisers and hours of discussions, which culminated in a late-night meeting on the eve of the speech and a critical intervention from former secretary of state Madeleine Albright.

Chilcot report issues damning verdict on Iraq war
This week's Chilcot report delivered a damning verdict on Britain's decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003. The UK's political, military and intelligence establishments were all implicated, but particular criticism was reserved for Tony Blair, the former prime minister. Daniel Dombey discusses the report's findings with the FT's James Blitz and Roula Khalaf
Broken-hearted by Brexit, thousands of Britons are applying, or thinking of applying, for citizenship in another EU country. All I can say is, unless you have recently won the BBC television quiz shows Mastermind or University Challenge, forget Denmark.
According to Inger Støjberg, Denmark's integration minister, more than two-thirds of the first batch of foreign applicants who took a new Danish citizenship test in June have failed the exam. Only 31.2 per cent passed, she announced on Tuesday. Take a look at some of the questions, and you will see why most people have flunked the test. Read more

Wall Street analysts have a current quarter EPS estimate of $0.1 on shares of XO Group, Inc. (NYSE:XOXO). Analysts and investors will be looking ahead to the next company earnings report which is scheduled to be on or around 2016-11-01 for the period ending 2016-09-30. During the same quarter in the previous year, the company reported EPS of $0.08.
Whether or not the company meets or beats this expectation, along with other factors, can often dictate where the share price might be headed in the near-term. Leading up to the release it's also important to take note of the direction the estimates are headed as analyst revisions can often give an idea of Street sentiment on expected performance.
Most recently, XO Group, Inc. (NYSE:XOXO) posted actual earnings of $0.14 per share against the $0.12 Zacks consensus estimate. This represents a surprise factor of 16.67% or a difference of $0.02. There are currently 4 brokerage firms covering XO Group, Inc., offering earnings per share estimates as well as future price target projections. On a consensus basis, analysts have pinned a $21.062 mean target price for the short term on the stock. The most lofty price projection sees the stock reaching $23 within the year, while the most conservative has a $18.5 target on the name. In looking at the standard deviation of all estimates, we arrive at 1.897.
Zacks provides a simpler approach for understanding analyst recommendations on stocks, using an integer based system which converts each recommendation into a 1-5 average, where 1 represents a Strong Buy and 5 a Strong Sell. Compiling all of the recommendations for the firm, XO Group, Inc. (NYSE:XOXO) current has a mean recommendation of 1.67. Breaking those down we see that the ratings are as follows: 2 Strong Buy, 0 Rated Buy, 1 Rated Hold and 0 Rated Sell.

United States District Court, Southern District of New York
April 28, 2003
OPINION and ORDER
The Court of Appeals, in its opinion reported at 294 F.3d 447, 448-9, concisely describes this lawsuit:
IRI and Nielsen are both providers of retail tracking
services. These services, as described by the district
involve the continuous collection of data on the
sale of consumer packaged goods. From this data,
retail tracking services suppliers produce estimates
of trends in sales of product categories and
brands, by relevant geographic region for each
product category being tracked.
In short, a retail tracking service is the
provision of information to manufacturers and
retailers of consumer goods concerning turnover,
market share, pricing and other aspects of the sale
of fast moving consumer goods and analysis of that
information to reveal market trends, business
conditions, and the like.
Both Nielsen and IRI provide these services in the United
States. While Nielsen also offers these services in
several foreign countries, IRI generally operates abroad
through an assortment of subsidiaries and joint ventures.
These foreign affiliates find the foreign clients,
obtain the data from these clients, and deliver the
completed reports to them. The data are processed and
the resulting reports are generated by IRI in the United
In this action, IRI alleges that Nielsen engaged in
a variety of anticompetitive conduct, both in the
United States and abroad, with the purpose of
destroying IRI as competition in the retail tracking
services industry. The alleged antitrust violations
include tying and bundling contracts in violation of
Section 1 of the Sherman Act, monopolization and
attempted monopolization of the export (that is,
foreign) markets in violation of Section 2 of the
Sherman Act, and attempted monopolization of the
United States market in violation of Section 2 of the
Sherman Act. Among the principal allegations is that
Nielsen would offer "favorable pricing conditions if
Nielsen's services were purchased in a considerable
number of countries, including, at least, one country
where IRI was present." (citations omitted)
In an Opinion dated July 12, 2000, clarified by Memorandum dated February 6, 2001, both reported at Information Resources, Inc. v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., et al., 127 F. Supp.2d 411 (S.D.N.Y. 2000), appeal dismissed, 294 F.3d 447 (2d Cir. 2002), this court decided, among other things, that (127 F. Supp.2d at 415):
From the submissions, there seems little doubt that
inflicting competitive injury on IRI was a goal and
purpose of defendants' alleged activities, and that the
economic connection between the alleged violations and
the effect on IRI is linear and short; nevertheless the
fact that the primary injury fell on the foreign
companies (who have rights to sue for whatever remedies
the law applicable to them provides), together with the
factors discussed above, leaves IRI without standing to
sue for its derivative injuries.
Defendants' motion for partial summary judgment is
granted. IRI's claims of injury suffered from
defendants' activities in foreign markets where IRI
operates through subsidiaries or companies owned by joint
ventures, or "relationships" with local companies, are
. . . because it was not the person directly affected
by the alleged conduct. Rather, the conduct allegedly
harmed IRI's affiliates in Europe — separate
corporate entities that are not parties to this suit.
IRI was affected only in its capacity as a shareholder
of, and supplier to, the European entities. It is
hornbook law that the shareholder and supplier
relationships are insufficient to confer standing.
Not only where IRI shared in the subsidiary's losses as
a partner, joint venture or shareholder, but also where
its volume of sales to the subsidiary was diminished
because of the subsidiary's loss of business, IRI has no
standing to sue, because (together with the other factors
stated in the Order) IRI's injury is derivative of the
antitrust injury inflicted on the subsidiary. Nor can
IRI recover damages for weakening of its competitive
position in the United States because of reduced revenue
from its foreign subsidiaries. The deprivation of
revenue, and the consequent inability to use the lost
money to competitive advantage, amount to the same thing.
The only value of money lies in the uses to which it can
be put.
By a second motion for partial summary judgment, defendants seek dismissal of all claims regarding 22 foreign markets (the "remaining markets")*fn1 where IRI operated through affiliates, or which it was unable to enter because (IRI says) its antitrust injuries in other markets deprived it of the necessary resources. Defendants' motion rests on five grounds, that: (1) The court's prior orders bar derivative claims arising in markets where IRI operated through affiliates, (2) IRI would have entered many of the remaining markets through affiliates, (3) IRI was not prepared to enter those new markets, (4) IRI cannot show that defendants' conduct caused its failure to enter the Canadian or Mexican markets, and (5) the court lacks jurisdiction over claims that IRI was prevented from entering a foreign market if the failure to enter was caused by losses sustained by a European affiliate or the entity entering the market would have been an IRI subsidiary or affiliate (citing the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act, ("FTAIA") 15 U.S.C. § 6a)
In its cross-motion for reconsideration of the July 12, 2000 and February 6, 2001 Orders, IRI reformulates its claims of injury. Essentially, its present claims focus on disbursements it had to make in the United States to repair injuries inflicted on its foreign subsidiaries; it then seeks recovery not of the sums it was required to expend, but of the injuries IRI sustained in the domestic United States market because of the lack of those funds.
Thus, IRI stresses that it "is not seeking to recover the money [it] claims to have diverted to cover the affiliates' losses" (its counsel's Nov. 15, 2002 letter to court, p. 6; emphasis in original) and IRI:
. . . is not seeking to recover any of the following: 1)
the profits on lost sales of retail tracking services in
markets where IRI operated through subsidiaries; 2) the
damages for the lost use of the profits it otherwise
expected to obtain from its subsidiaries; and 3) the
monies that IRI had to use to cover the operating losses
in Europe caused by Defendants' conduct. (id., p. 2,
emphasis in original)
. . . reiterates that by this claim it is only seeking
to recover damages for the lost use of money that IRI
expended from the U.S. and, but for Defendants'
extra-territorial practices, would have used to
compete against Defendants in the domestic market.
The evidence establishes that by 1993, Defendants
launched a series of coordinated, anticompetitive
practices, both in the U.S. and abroad, to regain
monopoly power in the domestic market for retail tracking
services (the "U.S. Market"). These practices included:
i) bundling retail tracking services in the U.S. with
geographic markets where Nielsen had monopoly power; ii)
predatorily pricing services in the U.S. Market; iii)
informing IRI's U.S. clients, potential clients,
financial analysts and third parties that IRI was
financially unstable; and iv) draining IRI of U.S.
resources and denying it access to the capital necessary
to compete in the U.S. Market.
Draining IRI of U.S. resources was critical to the
success of Defendants' attempted monopolization of the
U.S. Market. Though IRI, through its new and innovative
service, had been able to enter the domestic market which
Nielsen long dominated, IRI did not possess Defendants'
vast financial resources or geographic coverage. By
draining IRI of U.S. resources and depressing its
earnings, Defendants determined that they could
financially cripple and outlast their smaller rival, as
IRI attempted to expand into new geographic markets.
Defendants intentionally and systematically depleted
IRI's U.S. resources by bundling and predatorily pricing
services to customers in the U.S. Market, while
simultaneously raising the cost of IRI's expansion into
new geographic markets. Defendants fully appreciated
that IRI could not afford to fend off an anticompetitive
attack on its domestic business, while covering large,
unanticipated losses in other geographic markets.
The calculated result of Defendants' extra-territorial
practices was that IRI was forced to expend millions of
dollars from the U.S. to cover excessive losses in
markets into which IRI was attempting to expand. Because
this money came from the U.S., it was then unavailable to
compete against Defendants in the U.S. Market, just as
Defendants had planned . . .
The lost use of these resources caused IRI to lose
millions of dollars in sales of domestic retail tracking
To increase the cost of IRI's geographic expansion,
Defendants entered into a number of contracts with
retailers that either inflated the cost to IRI of
acquiring scanner data or denied IRI access to it
altogether. For example, with a critical retailer in the
U.K., Defendants dramatically increased data payments to
that retailer, provided that it agreed not to sell its
data to any other supplier for a lesser amount. The
European Commission determined that through this clause
Nielsen was able to raise IRI's entry costs.
In addition, Defendants offered contracts that
discounted services in markets where Nielsen dominated if
the customer purchased services in European markets that
IRI was entering . . .
These bundled contracts prevented IRI from selling its
services to a critical market segment — multi-nation
customers. As the European Commission and Canadian
Tribunal determined, once in a position to provide a
retail tracking service, a supplier must have access to
customer revenue to support entry and operating costs.
By denying IRI access to multi-national customers,
Defendants dramatically increased the losses that IRI had
to cover from the U.S.
While IRI certainly planned to expend money from the
U.S. to cover anticipated losses in new geographic
markets, it expected that those markets would be
profitable and would require no further cash infusions
from the U.S. by 1997 at the latest. IRI did not expect
that it would have to cover the inordinate losses that
Defendants' anticompetitive conduct caused. Nor did IRI
expect that its joint venture partners would be unable to
cover their share of these losses.
IRI's expenditures from the U.S. to cover these losses
have come in the form of capital contributions, loans
made to the subsidiaries and the payment by IRI of its
subsidiaries' production costs. [footnote omitted]
To be clear, with respect to the capital contributions
and loans, IRI typically wire transferred funds from its
Harris Bank account in Chicago to the bank accounts of
its subsidiaries in the countries identified above. With
respect to the production costs, IRI did the work in the
U.S. and shipped the data reports overseas. Regardless
of the form of the expenditure, however, in each case IRI
expended money from the U.S. to cover the losses in
Europe caused by Defendants' anticompetitive conduct,
which money would otherwise have been used to compete
against Defendants in the U.S. Market.
To fund the losses overseas, IRI was forced to sell its
EXPRESS technology and line of software products to
Oracle in July 1995. This netted IRI approximately $90
million which, along with U.S. profits, IRI expended from
the U.S. to cover the excess losses that Defendants
caused through their extra-territorial practices.
Defendants described this as IRI selling the "crown
jewels." Defendants announced that "by selling what many
believe is the best and most profitable asset, and one
long portrayed as their growth engine, IRI retains what
may be the less attractive side of their business" —
retail tracking services.
In addition, IRI had been able to stay ahead of its
deep-pocketed rival in the U.S. Market by more quickly
developing and bringing to market innovative products
and services. The outflow . . . from the U.S., because
of Defendants' anticompetitive conduct, undermined
IRI's ability to make capital improvements and invest
in research and development that had been so critical
to its early success. As a result, IRI has lacked
funds to reengineer its operating and production
systems and invest in new services.
In short, the lost use of money has inhibited IRI's
ability to continue improving its systems and services to
stay ahead of Defendants. Indeed, in 1994, as IRI's
European losses were mounting, Defendants launched a
communication strategy to inform customers that IRI would
not be able to invest in research and development as it
had before and that customers would be taking a risk by
choosing a company that could no longer afford to support
their technical needs.
Defendants regard IRI's revision of its claim as "a matter of semantics, not substance." They argue (Oct. 22, 2002 br. pp. 3, 42)
No matter how IRI seeks to describe them, its claims
amount to the same thing: that the losses of the European
affiliates allegedly deprived IRI of resources to compete
in the U.S. and enter foreign markets. As we show, these
are derivative injuries that this Court correctly ruled
IRI lacks standing to assert.
In any event, IRI's newly redrawn theory of injury in
the United States from Defendants' conduct in the markets
where IRI had affiliates is a distinction without a
difference, it makes no difference whether IRI claims a
lack of resources due to the loss of anticipated revenue
from the European affiliates or because it chose to
divert U.S. resources to cover the losses of the European
affiliates resulting from Defendants' conduct in the
European markets.
IRI's claim for the lost use of money that it allegedly
paid to cover the affiliates' injuries is a derivative
consequence of the harm to the affiliates. By IRI's own
admission, its injury results from its relationship as a
shareholder, creditor, and supplier of the European
affiliates that were allegedly the direct victims of
Defendants' conduct in the European markets in which the
affiliates operated. IRI therefore lacks standing to
assert claims for the lost use of the "diverted" money.
As stated in Abrahams v. Young & Rubicam Inc., 79 F.3d 234, 237 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 816 (1996):
In a "suit on a statute" — that is, a suit in
which the statute itself grants the recovery, creates
the jurisdiction, or permits special damages —
the plaintiff must show both that he is within the
class the statute sought to protect and that the harm
done was one that the statute was meant to prevent
. . . With statutory claims, the issue is, instead, one
of statutory intent: was the plaintiff (even though
foreseeably injured) in. the category the statute meant to
protect, and was the harm that occurred (again, even if
foreseeable), the "mischief" the statute sought to avoid.
[A]ny person who shall be injured in his business or
property by reason of anything forbidden in the antitrust
laws may sue therefor in any district court of the United
States in the district in which the defendant resides or
is found or has an agent, without respect to the amount
in controversy, and shall recover threefold the damages
by him sustained, and the cost of suit, including a
reasonable attorney's fee.
may recover for the injury it allegedly suffered by
reason of the defendants' coercion against certain third
parties cannot be answered simply by reference to the
broad language of § 4. Instead, as was required in
common-law damages litigation in 1890, the question
requires us to evaluate the plaintiff's harm, the alleged
wrongdoing by the defendants, and the relationship
between them. (459 U.S. at 535, 103 S.Ct. at 907)
(footnote omitted)
There is a similarity between the struggle of common-law
judges to articulate a precise definition of the
concept of "proximate cause," and the struggle of federal
judges to articulate a precise test to determine whether
a party injured by an antitrust violation may recover
treble damages. It is common ground that the judicial
remedy cannot encompass every conceivable harm that can
be traced to alleged wrongdoing. In both situations the
infinite variety of claims that may arise make it
virtually impossible to announce a black-letter rule that
will dictate the result in every case. Instead,
previously decided cases identify factors that
circumscribe and guide the exercise of judgment in
deciding whether the law affords a remedy in specific
circumstances. (footnotes omitted)
What is a cause in a legal sense, still more what is a
proximate cause, depend in each case upon many
considerations. . . . What we do mean by the word
"proximate" is, that because of convenience, of public
policy, of a rough sense of justice, the law
arbitrarily declines to trace a series of events
beyond a certain point. (citation omitted)
. . . there no doubt are cases in which such an
allegation would adequately support a plaintiff's claim
under § 4. Cf. Handler, supra n. 33, at 30 (specific
intent of defendant to cause injury to a particular class
of persons should "ordinarily be dispositive" in creating
standing to sue); [citing authorities].
Accordingly, among the many shapes this concept took at
common law, see Associated General Contractors, supra,
459 U.S., at 532-533, 103 S.Ct., at 905-906, was a demand
for some direct relation between the injury asserted and
the injurious conduct alleged. Thus, a plaintiff who
complained of harm flowing merely from the misfortunes
visited upon a third person by the defendant's acts was
generally said to stand at too remote a distance to
recover. See, e.g., 1 J. Sutherland, Law of Damages 55-56
Thus, our use of the term "direct" should merely be
understood as a reference to the proximate-cause enquiry
that is informed by the concerns set out in the text. We
do not necessarily use it in the same sense as courts
before us have and intimate no opinion on results they
First, the less direct an injury is, the more difficult
it becomes to ascertain the amount of a plaintiff's
damages attributable to the violation, as distinct from
other, independent, factors. Second, quite apart from
problems of proving factual causation, recognizing claims
of the indirectly injured would force courts to adopt
complicated rules apportioning damages among plaintiffs
removed at different levels of injury from the violative
acts, to obviate the risk of multiple recoveries. And,
finally, the need to grapple with these problems is
simply unjustified by the general interest in deterring
injurious conduct, since directly injured victims can
generally be counted on to vindicate the law as private
attorneys general, without any of the problems attendant
upon suits by plaintiffs injured more remotely.

1. Difficulty of Determining Portion of Damages Allocable to Violation
As Distinct from Other Factors, e.g., Poor Business Practices
Defendant claims that IRI must show, in addition to proof that defendants' conduct in each of the separate markets was anticompetitive:
(a) the size of the losses in each separate European
market attributable to the alleged anticompetitive
conduct, as distinct from losses normally experienced by
new businesses, as well as losses due to mismanagement,
misjudgment, or ordinary business conditions.
(b) how the money IRI allegedly diverted to cover such
losses would otherwise have been allocated to establish
new retail tracking businesses in the remaining 22
foreign markets or to compete with ACNielsen in the
United States, as opposed to the many other uses to which
the money could have been put, such as investing in the
existing European affiliates that had just entered the
largest European markets. Given the many different uses
to which IRI put its money and the many different factors
that go into making investment decisions, any claim as to
what portion, if any, of the lost revenues or resources
would have been invested to establish retail tracking
businesses in each of the 22 separate and different new
foreign markets or to strengthen IRI's U.S. retail
tracking business is highly speculative.
. . . what amount of profit, if any, IRI would
have earned in those markets as a result of such
These issues are contested and will be hard fought at trial (See Defs.' Feb. 14, 2003 brief, pp. 18-33), but that does not justify their summary dismissal as a matter of law. As this court previously ruled ( 127 F. Supp.2d 411 at 415),
the defendants claim "[a]ny damages flowing to IRI are
speculative because they require measurement first of
the impact on its foreign affiliates and second the
derivative impact on IRI." Def.'s Mem. at 13. It would
probably be feasible, however, to calculate IRI's
damages with the relaxed degree of precision required
for computations of lost revenues in antitrust cases
Here, however, the franchisor-plaintiffs have standing
to pursue their claims. First, they have provided
sufficient evidence that they suffered an antitrust
injury caused by the defendants' anticompetitive conduct.
Through the implementation of adverse splits, the
defendants prevented Re/Max agents from earning their
normal commission on most transactions, which in turn
prevented Re/Max's 100% Concept from functioning, which
prevented Re/Max from attracting top agents, which
prevented Re/Max franchises from succeeding, which
prevented Re/Max from earning revenue from those
franchises and agents and from opening new franchises.
While this chain of causation may be long, it is direct
and unbroken.
2. Difficulty Apportioning Damages Among Injured Parties
The sole potential plaintiff whose chances of expansion in the United States and foreign markets were injured by the alleged violations is IRI, defendants' only competitor. IRI's subsidiaries cannot sue for IRI's loss of use of its domestic expenditures, or the loss of its business opportunities.
The argument most heavily relied upon by defendants is that IRI's claimed injuries are derivative of those inflicted upon its foreign subsidiaries, and thus threaten either a complex process of disentanglement or duplication of recovery by the subsidiaries and the derivatively-injured IRI. The concept is stated with clarity in Commercial Cleaning Services v. Colin Services Systems, Inc., 271 F.3d 374, 383 (2d Cir. 2001):
The point made in Holmes was that, if damages are paid
both to first tier plaintiffs — those directly
injured by defendant's alleged acts — and to
second tier plaintiffs — those injured by the
injury to the first tier plaintiffs — then the
payment of damages to the first tier plaintiffs would
cure the harm to the second tier plaintiffs, and the
payment of damages to the latter category would
involve double compensation.
Recoupment by the subsidiaries of their injuries would restore the revenue whose loss IRI was claiming in its original theory of damages. Primarily for that reason, IRI's claim for deprivation of revenue from the subsidiaries was denied. IRI v. Dun & Bradstreet, 127 F. Supp.2d 411, 415-16 (S.D.N.y. 2000)
IRI's current theory addresses different damages, which were originally sustained in the United States. IRI now complains, not of revenue unreceived, but of disbursements required and burdens imposed on its competitive ability here. Although (it claims) its injuries were administered through the subsidiaries as vehicles, the purpose and effect of defendants' foreign activity was to inflict, in the United States, precisely the injuries for which IRI now claims damages. With respect to its present claims, the financial impact appeared first on IRI's books in the United States. It lost the use of its money and assets, and experienced the resulting loss of competitive capacity, directly in the United States — just as defendants planned. See Crimpers Promotions, Inc. v. Home Box Office, Inc., 724 F.2d 290, 294 (2d Cir. 1983) (Friendly, C.J.), cert. denied, 467 U.S. 1252 (1984):
Injury to Crimpers was the precisely intended
consequence of defendants' boycott; with respect to that
act the injury to Crimpers was even more "direct" than to
the producers or stations who defendants concede would
have standing.
3. Ability of Others to Sue
As noted above, no other plaintiff was forced to make the outlays, or sell the assets, that IRI was.
The subsidiaries may sue for their injuries (although not here, see 127 F. Supp.2d 411, 416-17). But no other entity can sue for the resulting antitrust damage to IRI here, intentionally inflicted by its direct competitor.
Naturally the question arises, if the subsidiaries sued and all their injuries were compensated, and the money flowed through to IRI (with appropriate interest), wouldn't IRI's harm be cured? A ready example demonstrates the difference between the subsidiaries' injuries and IRI's claim. That money would not restore to IRI its "crown jewels," the EXPRESS technology which it was forced to sell, (and which defendants described as "its best and most profitable asset," see p. 7 above), nor the profits EXPRESS would have furnished to IRI. No subsidiary can sue for that loss. Although the loss may be described as derivative, there is no double compensation for it.
Preparedness to Enter Foreign Markets
The admissibility of IRI's claims that it was defendants' actions which depleted IRI's competitive resources sufficiently answers, for summary judgment purposes, defendants' argument that IRI cannot claim injuries in foreign markets it was not prepared to enter.
IRI's counsel's March 11, 2003 letter to the court states (p. 4) that IRI does not "seek to recover the profits its subsidiaries lost in markets in which they operate." See also the similar statements quoted at pp. 4-5 above.
To the extent that IRI's damage calculation claims a share in defendants' total revenues, including their foreign revenues, IRI has sufficiently for summary judgment purposes shown that it would have entered the foreign markets if defendants' violations had not deprived it of the ability to do so. See In re Independent Service Organizations Antitrust Litigation, 964 F. Supp. 1454 at 1466-67 (D.Kan. 1997). Plaintiff's showings concerning Canada and Mexico also suffice to bring them within this standard.
Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act
The necessity, intentionally imposed on IRI by defendants' foreign and domestic activities, to devote the use of millions of dollars of its domestic funds to purposes other than its chosen ways of competing, was a "direct, substantial and reasonably foreseeable effect" on domestic trade or commerce and gave rise to a claim of attempted monopolization. Thus, the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6a, does not exempt IRI's present claim from the antitrust laws.
Defendants' motion for partial summary judgment dismissing all claims regarding the remaining foreign markets is denied.
Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of the July 12, 2000 and February 6, 2001 orders is also denied, except to the extent that the broad language in the order and judgment (dismissing "claims of injury suffered from defendants' activities in foreign markets where IRI operates through subsidiaries or companies owned by joint ventures, or `relationships' with local companies") is confined to its proper scope: the claims before the court at that time, of reduced revenues from the foreign subsidiaries. It does not apply to plaintiff's present claim as set forth in its counsel's November 15 and December 19, 2002 letters to the court.

OPW and Keith Williams Architects to design Wexford Opera House
Raphaela Papadakis seems to like 'playing with fire'. After her acclaimed performance as the put-upon maid, Anna, in Independent Opera's production of Šimon Voseček's Beidermann and the Arsonists at Sadler's Wells last year, she is currently rehearsing for the premiere this week of And London Burned, a new opera by Matt Rogers which has been commissioned by Temple Music Foundation to commemorate the 350th anniversary of The Great Fire of London.
[Archiseek Online, 4 January 2006]
Keith Williams Architects has been appointed to work on the design of a new opera house for the world famous Irish opera festival in Wexford in a far reaching €30 million rebuilding programme. The practice will work in association with the architectural team at the Office of Public Works in Dublin.

Our Mission(ary) Statement:
Barbara-Jo's Books to Cooks began with the idea that cookbooks deserve a place all their own. A place where everyone from home cooks to international members of the culinary community could gather to celebrate the pleasures of the table. For 16 years, we've been a proud supporter of cookbooks and – more importantly - the people who continue to love them.
We believe in the tangible delight of turning a page. Just as we believe that a collection of recipes or a cooking class is a gift that deserves to be properly savoured. We believe that speed and efficiency can happily co-exist with a deeply felt sense of tradition. Most of all, we believe in the enduring power of the cookbook.
After a while, your best-loved cookbooks develop a certain patina. Like a love note pressed between the pages of another time, they bear the happy scars of distant celebrations. A spilled dash of flour from a long lost Thanksgiving, the handwritten reminder that your old Valentine has an allergy. A worthy cookbook has worked hard to earn a lasting place in your life. And, at Barbara-Jo's, we like to think we have as well.
We've seen many changes over the years. Among them, a world where the lure of instant communication is constantly threatening to overshadow the power of true connection. Now, more than ever, we feel that making personal service a priority is the best way to do business.
We enjoy talking to our customers and getting to know them. Over the years, many of them have become friends and we've come to value their support beyond words. Together, we have made a pact to share our lives through the mutual love of books and food.
All of this takes time. And it has not been an easy journey. But every day is touched with a kind of magic. Here, we are surrounded by the cherished weight of ideas. The endless possibilities of a good book opened to thoughts of family, friends and the joys of celebration.
What have we learned? That an open cookbook demands an open heart. And an open heart is the best recipe of all.

Top Christmas lights searches:
- Oxford Street Christmas lights
- Frankfurt Christmas market
- Christmas light displays
- Discount Christmas lights
- Christmas lights installation
- Outside Christmas lights
- Commercial Christmas lights
- Christmas light decoration
- Christmas rope lights
- Christmas tree light bulbs
If you fancy a bit of stateside present buying, New York City puts on a spectacular light-show. All the main department stores, such as Saks, compete with each other with their window displays and lights. But if that wasn't enough you could go ice-skating at the Rockefeller Center, and admire their world-famous Christmas tree as you glide past.
Another light festival in a spectacular natural setting is to be found at Niagara Falls in Canada. Each year, the surrounding parklands are the setting for the Winter Festival of Lights, with 3 million tree and ground lights. The festival also has daily firework displays and an ice-skating rink with breath-taking views at the edge of the Horseshoe Falls.
Back in blighty, Birmingham is renowned for putting on a good Christmas display. Though unfortunately, the opening of the lights this year was marred by crowd control issues, there are still lots of reasons to visit the UK's second biggest city. The biggest German market outside Germany - the Frankfurt Christmas Market and Craft Fair - is held in Birmingham each year. Visitors can buy unusual handmade gifts, and traditional German items such as marionettes and wooden toys.
Hopefully, you will get a chance to take a break this Christmas and take in some lights. Have you seen a special lights display this year - or are you planning to see one? Leave a message and tell us about it...

I guess my eBay hiatus is over.Posted Sunday, March 1, 2009, at 5:42 PM
Those who now my involvement with eBay have probably wondered where I have been on this subject recently. I tried to keep my attitude positive during all the changes, but when it finally got to be too much, I took a break.
Debbi kept plodding along and with only one of us listing about 5-6 items a day we kept our sales acceptable but eBay seems to be trying to make up for all their anti-seller initiatives and it is time for me to 'get over it'. Classes will start again and I will start listing again.
This past week eBay announced new categories that they will extend free photos. Collectibles, Antiques, Art, and Pottery & Glass are now in the group and you can add as many individual, Picture Pack, and Gallery Plus photos as you want. IN fact, it apparently took place on February 18th, but I missed the memo. It is not supposed to be temporary, so 'post'em if you got'em.
eBay has also added two new ways for buyers to pay for their purchases. Moneybookers and Paymate are the approved payment methods but when I clicked on the links to learn more, the pages locked up. Could be me, but...
And now.... I have to start holding my end of entering the listings.

The Last Southern Gentlemen taps into the old world elegance that is improvisational music and rescues melody from the jazz witness protection program.
Brent Black / www.criticaljazz.com
There is an unmistakable old world charm to the latest offering from Delfeayo Marsalis. Along with his father Ellis, bassist John Clayton and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith there is a relaxed almost gentile hybrid created of southern hospitality combined with the simple beauty of timeless melodies. A back to the future look at what some might consider "old school" jazz but with a decidedly forward thinking presentation.
This is a lyrical conversation of the highest order where all ensemble participants are offering their own perspective for a collective presentation that continues to embrace the fact that simplicity may be the ultimate in sophistication. Ballads are of course key with exquisite performances on "My Romance" and "I'm Confessin'." The Crescent City spirit comes alive with a blistering romp on the iconic "Sesame Street" which comes full circle with a cameo from drum legend Herlin Riley. Delfeayo's laid back groove with "The Secret Love Affair" and father Ellis's "If I Were A Bell" may be the two crowning jewels of this improvisational triumph.
Some records simply review themselves...
Tracks: The Secret Love Affair; Autumn Leaves; She's Funny That Way; Sesame Street; I'm Confessin'; But Beautiful; Speak Low; Nancy; The Man With Two Left Feet; That Old Feeling; My Romance; If I Were A Bell; I Cover The Waterfront.
Personnel: Delfeayo Marsalis: Trombone; Ellis Marsalis: Piano; John Clayton: Bass; Marvin "Smitty" Smith: Drums.

WOODBURY - (AP) - Two teenage brothers charged with killing a 12-year-old New Jersey girl will remain in a juvenile detention center.
Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Michelle Jeneby says a judge ordered the 15- and 17-year-old to remain detained until a Nov. 16 hearing.
The prosecutor says she expects her office will seek to try the brothers as adults.
Friday's hearing was closed to the public and news media. News organizations will also appear on Nov. 16 to seek to open future hearings.
Authorities haven't released the names of the suspects. But relatives and neighbors have identified them as 17-year-old Dante Robinson and 15-year-old Justin Robinson.
Authorities say the younger boy lured 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale (pas-KWAL'-ee) to their home by promising to trade bicycle parts.
Her funeral is Saturday.

A mini review today as well there is not really any need for a huge in-depth review of an eye make-up remover. It either works or it doesn't! So does Mario Badescu Eye Make Up Remover Cream work? Yes. Do I like it? Meh.
Okay Mario Badescu Eye Make Up Remover Cream does exactly what it claims to on the tin, gently removes most (I say most as it wasn't great with waterproof mascara) without much effort. The problem for me is the texture - a thick gel, that is cooling but not anything at all alike to a melting balm cleanser which I foolishly assumed it would be. I worry with such heavy texture that should it not be properly removed it could lead to Milia which I am prone to. The ingredient list reads pretty similar to that of a cold cream (it is also laden with parabens) and if I am entirely honest preforms in the same way.
My other issue is that unlike the vast majority of eye make-up removes you have to remove Mario Badescu Eye Make Up Remover Cream with either an abundance of water or a separate cleanser. So in essence you have to double cleanse the eye area each and every time - cool if you have a lot of make-up on but for a coat or two of mascara it seems entirely unnecessary. On the plus side it is well priced, a little goes a long way and the creamy texture does prevent it from being harsh on such a delicate area. I am not a convert but will admit that I have tried worse.
Mario Badescu Eye Make Up Remover Cream £6.95 via Beauty Bay - link.

We have two sites hosted on the MonsterCommerce Shopping Cart Platform. Lately they have been touting their partnership with the Google Checkout system, charging $99 per month to use this service. I was trying to justify this added expense so I thought I would try discussing this with their live chat.
Chat Sales Rep: Good Afternoon & welcome to MonsterCommerce. You have reached the Sales department. Is there anything I can help you with?
Me: We have 2 Monstercommerce sites and I would like to better understand what benefits Google checkout would give us.
Chat Sales Rep: Technical support will be the best option for immediate assistance. They can be reached toll-free at 1-888-252-3266.
Me: I was asking about product benefit, not about technical support.
Chat Sales Rep: MonsterCommerce is proud to announce we are among the first e-commerce providers to be aligned with Google Checkout!
I won't bore you with the rest of the chat session but suffice to say that I didn't get my answer from this individual. I ended up calling their sales group on the phone instead.
I was reminded of a wonderful book I've read recently called Waiting For your Cat to Bark?. It has a fictional live chat passage which is supposed to be an extreme example of a non-relevant chat session. But oddly enough, it happens to mirror this real conversation very closely.
Organizations that do live chat on their web site – please make it meaningful to the people asking for assistance rather than just pasting answers from a script. Obviously scripted answers save time, but it helps to read what the customer is saying before just 'plopping' something into the chat window.
What about you? Do you have Live Chat experiences (good or bad) to share?

nCode DesignLife: Calculating Fatigue from CAE
Course Overview
Learn how to use nCode DesignLife software to perform fatigue analysis using stresses from computer aided engineering (CAE) tools. Class time includes both lecture on fatigue life prediction techniques and hands-on sessions where you get to put concepts into action with DesignLife software. An emphasis is placed on hands-on comparisons of different analysis techniques so you'll learn best engineering practices while gaining software proficiency.
- Import geometry and stresses into DesignLife from finite element (FE) software like ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, Mechanica, and OptiStruct
- Define fatigue loading, from simple cycles to measured loading histories to vibration profiles
- Assign material fatigue properties Assess fatigue life with methods like stress-life (SN) and strain-life (EN)
- Display and interpret results
Course Concepts
- Finite element stress analysis techniques for durability assessment
- Using analysis tools called 'glyphs', including how to create user-customized glyphs
- Creating reusable fatigue analysis templates
- Generating virtual stress and strain histories
- Applying stress superposition and multiple FE load cases
- Exploring stress combination methods and plasticity corrections
- Analyzing stresses in both time and frequency domains
- Identifying and interpreting fatigue hotspots
- Automated methods for accelerating fatigue solution times
Who Should Attend
Engineers who need to predict fatigue life from CAE-derived stresses.
It is assumed that attendees are familiar with FE modelling practices and general structural analysis concepts. No prior knowledge of nCode software is required.
This course covers some fatigue theory background, but it focuses on the hands-on software application of these concepts. Attendees wanting to learn more about the concepts of durability analysis are encouraged to attend our course called Practical Fatigue Theory.

How has climate change affected the global distibution of ice?

Current warming trend is linked to human activities.
Climate change in past was entirely natural, and could've been caused by:

El Nino effect is a periodic 'blip' in the usual global climate. Found off the west coast of S Ameria - caused by a short-term reduction in the intensity of the cold ocean currents. Results in unusual patterns of temperature and rainfall, and…

Menos' ship was a small transport which the rogue Vulcan, Menos, used to smuggle synthetic biotoxins. The ship was equiped with a holographic projector that created a false wall in the cargo hold. Menos stored the smuggled biotoxins in the hidden part of the ship, while the rest was full of spent warp injector casings, or some other legitimate cargo. (ENT: "The Seventh")
In the final draft script of "The Seventh", the cockpit of Menos' ship was described as "a cramped, one-man cockpit." Evidently, the set of the cockpit was a re-used set also used for the cockpits of inspection pods and the Phoenix. For more information on this studio model, see ENT studio models.

The Obama administration on Monday rejected two states' requests for waivers from the healthcare reform law.
The decision could rekindle the controversy over the waiver process, as the two states that were turned down, Indiana and Louisiana, have Republican governors. GOP leaders at the state level have been extremely critical of the healthcare law and the requirements that it imposes on states.
The Department of Health and Human Services said Indiana and Louisiana do not need an adjustment from the health law's medical loss ratio. That provision requires insurers to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care or offer rebates to their customers starting next year.
HHS can grant a temporary waiver if regulators determine that the requirement looks likely to destabilize a state's individual health insurance market.Continue reading on thehill.com
