As America's War On Terror morphs into an endless assault on civil and human rights, the technophilic fantasies of our masters, and the corporations whom they lovingly serve, even amidst the doom and gloom of capitalism's global economic collapse, have taken extraordinary steps to ensure that the "state of exception" spawned by the 9/11 provocation remains a permanent feature of daily life here in the heimat.
Sowing poison in the name of 'curing' homosexuals
No group of humans is exempt from this malady. People who suffer from self-hatred are toxic, not only to their family and friends, but to the entire community. They are also a threat because they know how their victims think, are familiar with their fears and speak the same language.
Blowback: Why They Try to Bomb Us
Imagine, if you can, an alternate universe. Imagine that in this alternate universe, a foreign military power begins flying remote-controlled warplanes over your town, using onboard missiles to kill hundreds of your innocent neighbors.
Now imagine that when you read the newspaper about this ongoing bloodbath, you learn that the foreign nation's top general is nonchalantly telling reporters that his troops are also killing "an amazing number" of your cultural brethren in an adjacent country.
It's Bush's Oil Spill
The GOP rushed to brand the Gulf Coast disaster "Obama's Katrina." But new reports make clear the Bush administration's lax attitude toward regulation deserves much of the blame.
Ever since the great oil price spike of 2008, conservatives have been riding a tide of pro-drilling sentiment to shore up their message on energy issues. Environmentalists had done a decent job in earlier years of framing their concerns about fossil-fuel use in part in terms of energy "independence" and "security," rhetoric that was turned on its head by efforts like Newt Gingrich's "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" slogan.
Heavy Metals Poisoning, Brain Injury, and Clandestine Weather Modification Programs Connecting the Dots
For more than a decade, first the United States and then Canada's citizens have been subjected to a 24/7/365 day aerosol assault over our heads made of a toxic brew of poisonous heavy metals, chemicals, and other dangerous ingredients. None of this was reported by any mainstream media. The US Department of Defense [DOD] and military have been systematically blanketing all our skies with Chemtrails (also known as Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering).(2) These differ vastly from the usual plane contrails that evaporate rather quickly in the sky. Chemtrails do not dissipate. Rather, planes (fitted with special nozzles) release aerosols "lines" in the sky that do not evaporate. Multiple planes are deployed, flying parallel (or often "checkerboard" patterns) overhead; and soon the sky is blanketed with many grayish-white lines [miles and miles long, although this is changing]. At first, these lines are thin; but soon they expand and, in a short time, merge together. Our once-blue sky has vanished and has been replaced by a grayish-white toxic haze that blots out and greatly diminishes our usual sunshine.
Confessions Of A Wall St. Nihilist: Forget About Goldman Sachs, Our Entire Economy Is Built On Fraud
That may be true, but all bubbles to eventually burst, all Ponzi schemes do collapse. The only question is when. For those of us not on the verge of retiring, the sooner we have this day of reckoning and get it over with, the better.
Israel's tyranny of the majority is dangerous
The only democracy in the Middle East is perhaps unique, but it's doubtful if it's the real thing. Results of a poll published in Haaretz yesterday reflect what has been known for a long time: a combination of ignorance, a basic lack of understanding and a fascist mood. An ill and dangerous wind is blowing toward a government that is threatened with collapse.

Intel is already upgrading its Core Duo processors and the successor will be cleverly named Core 2 Duo. There will also be a Core 2 Extreme for those power hungry people out there that will be released in July with a speed of 2.93GHz.
If performance isn't what you are looking for then maybe you would be interested in saving some battery life. Intel will also be releasing an ultra-low-voltage (ULV) processor that consumes only 0.75 watts (the Core 2 Duo uses one to two watts). This will run at 1.06GHz and will be released later this summer for about $289.
I would lean toward the low voltage because it is always nice to have a long battery life. Leave the gaming performance to the desktop computers.

text: PoliticsBrazil's Rousseff trailing in latest polls Aecio Neves has a slight lead over incumbent president ahead of the October 26 presidential runoff, polls show. 10 Oct 2014 00:27 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Brazil, Elections, Dilma Rousseff Aecio Neves turned Brazil's politics on its head with his surprise showing in the first round of voting [AP]Brazil President Dilma Rousseff narrowly trailed challenger Aecio Neves in latest opinion polls ahead of their October 26 election showdown, a survey showed. Neves, who upset predictions to eliminate environmentalist and early front-runner Marina Silva in Sunday's first round, was polling 46 percent to 44 for Rousseff, the Ibope poll for Globo television and Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper showed on Thursday. The difference is within the margin of error of both polls and considered a statistical tie. The surveys were the first by Brazil's two major polling firms since Sunday's first-round vote in which leftist Rousseff won 41.6 percent of the votes cast to 33.6 percent for Neves. Excluding undecided voters, spoiled and blank votes, the polls showed Neves wound win the runoff by 51 percent of the valid votes against 49 percent for Rousseff if it was held today. Ibope poll interviewed 3,010 voters Tuesday through Thursday and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Datafolha polled 2,884 voters on Wednesday and Thursday. Its poll has a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points. It was commissioned by the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper and the Globo media group. The polls comes as third-place candidate Silva is due to announce who she is going to back in the run-off, Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo, reporting from Sao Paulo, said. Our correspondent said that Silva's endorsement could prove decisive, noting that she received 22 million of the popular votes. "This is an election that is way too close to call," he said, and that makes Silva's decision "all that much more important."Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

The STAD in Europe (SiE) project aims to tackle heavy episodic drinking by restricting the availability of alcohol in all drinking environments: licensed drinking environments, such as nightlife premises and licensed dispensers on festivals and events; public hot spots in streets, parks and beaches; and home drinking and preloading before going out to party.
One of the most successful prevention strategies targeting binge drinking is STAD, developed in Stockholm, Sweden. The main components of STAD are community mobilization, a training course in responsible beverage service, and stricter enforcements. STAD is one of the few community action programme's that has shown significant effects on the reduction of overserving of alcohol, decrease of underage drinking in city areas, and the reduction of alcohol-related aggression. STAD has even proven to be very cost-effective. Moreover, an approach based on environmental interventions is expected to be especially effective for lower socio-economic classes.
In this project, we would like to combine the knowledge gained in Sweden with complementary elements to come to an integral European approach for reducing availability of alcohol for young people. We think that every country and (drinking) culture will need a tailored approach but we also feel that the effective elements as were present in the STAD programme could be universally applicable.
In seven countries (including the Netherlands, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Spain, UK, Germany and Sweden) seven tailored STAD-based interventions will be developed (either focusing on nightlife, events, home drinking or drinking in parks and streets) and implemented. Both the process and the outcomes will be researched and registered. The project will result in an intervention manual applicable to all EU MS and a final symposium on tackling binge drinking in Europe. All European countries and regions will be facilitated to implement strategies for reducing alcohol availability that have the potential to reduce alcohol related problems in a substantial way.

Will I be able to find parking?
Parking in the Tenderloin is very limited. Our patrons are strongly encouraged to use public transportation or any number of the ride share services offered in the city. We are centrally located within 3 blocks from Civic Center BART and all Market St. muni lines, as well as the 19, 27, 31, and 38. If driving is the only option there are a number of parking garages in the area; Jam Parking at 155 Eddy, EZ Public Parking at 333 Jones, and California Parking Inc. at 199 Turk being the closest three.
What are the hours of operation?
Black Cat will be open every day starting at 5:30. The kitchen stays open until 1am, and the bar until 1:30 when the music ends.
But wait, I thought you were doing brunch?
Hold your horses, don't worry! We will be moving into fullday service, starting with brunch on the weekends in the near future.
Are you related to the Black Cat from back in the day?
Yes and no. A lot of our inspiration came from the original Black Cat Cafe, (which happened to be located right down the street) and their signage can be found multiple places throughout our restaurant. We are not, however, trying to revamp a legend. We're creating our own.
I'm a gluten intolerant vegan, will I be able to eat at Black Cat?
Yes, absolutely! We have many gluten free/vegetarian/vegan options. Chef Alicia Jenish-McCarron does a spectacular job of catering to everyone's restrictions, therefore everyone will be able to nosh.
Those Chicken Roulades are decadent! Can I order to go and eat one later?
You may order to go, however, we unfortunately don't take those orders over the phone. You'll have to come in and place your order from the bar.
My friends and I want to dine, but we don't have a reservation. Will we be able to sit?
While we can not guarantee a low top dining table, we reserve our entire first floor for walk in seating. This includes a large communal table, a comfortable banquette, and our fullservice bar.
It's my birthday and I want to come in with all of my friends. How do I make this happen?
There are two things you can doeither make a large party reservation, or come in as a walk in party. Large parties are considered anything 8 and above, and these are negotiated with a contract through our events coordinator. If you would like to avoid a contract any group is always welcome to come in as a walkin party; however we cannot guarantee viewing of the music.
I made a reservation for dinner, but want to see the music after. How can I make sure this happens?
While we do our best to accommodate all of our guests needs, we are not able to guarantee watching the show if the reservation was made before 9:30 (most particularly on the weekends). To ensure the viewing of the show we suggest making reservations for the later side of the evening, or coming in early as a walk in and being added to our waitlist.
What time does your music start?
The music starts at 6:30 or 7pm, depending on if we have one performer or two performers for the evening. For our weekly lineup and start times you can check out the home page of our website.
Is there a cover charge?
Yes, there is a cover charge for each performance. The cover charges vary depending on date and performer. Please see the calendar for more specific information.
Are children under 21 allowed?
As long as the kitchen is open and serving food children will be allowed; and considering our kitchen closes at 1am (which is way past even my bedtime!) you shouldn't worry. We do not, however, have high chairs, so we suggest sticking to the big kids.

Recipe by NELady
From Safeway Brand Pinto Beans package: "This delicious Mexican-style side dish is mild enough to compliment a variety of entrees. Try it with enchiladas and fajitas, roast chicken, hamburgers and meatloaf." I have made this recipe and my family has asked that I never serve "regular" refried beans again.
Top Review by SunCountry
This makes some very good thick saucy pinto bean. I also like to spice it a bit by adding a 7 oz can of green chiles, a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes, some celery seed and a little oregano. I usually cook the beans about an hour, then put the drained beans back in the dutch oven, then add the bacon and vegie mix along with the remainder of the ingredients and cook down for about 30 minutes. Fits a bit better than in the frying pan
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb pinto beans, cleaned and soaked
- 4 slices bacon, thick sliced

Clarence P. Cazalot, Jr., President & CEO of Marathon Oil Corporation, participated in a CEO Dialogue on The Future of Energy at GLOBE 2010. The focus of that Dialogue was on Leadership in the energy sector, which is perhaps more vital than in any other industrial sector in the global transformation to a lower-carbon economy. This article is a concise overview of the points Mr. Cazalot made during that discussion, as well as others that are important to address as we explore options for the future global energy mix. This GLOBE-Net Exclusive is presented for the benefit of our readers.' President & CEO Marathon Oil Corporation
At the risk of overstating the obvious, our global community faces some truly daunting challenges - economically, socially and politically - and how we address these challenges will have profound implications for our collective future. In this context, I believe it is vitally important we recognize and address two inextricably linked issues that are critical to the world's long-term health and prosperity: energy security and environmental sustainability.
Ask anyone and you're likely to find strong agreement that we need to transition as quickly as practical to a more secure, sustainable means for powering the planet -- a path forward that must include:
- a more diverse portfolio of increasingly cleaner forms of energy
- the ability to produce and consume energy in ways that minimize impacts to air, land and water
- energy supplies that are readily available and affordable and permit or enhance economic growth and global competitiveness
- an energy industry that creates millions of good-paying, long-term jobs with an increasing focus on the development and deployment of advanced technologies
But then the debate begins: how do we get there, how quickly, and at what cost?
The debate might be more easily resolved if there were a full appreciation of the magnitude of this challenge. To put this in context, let's consider some of the fundamental truths or realities we'll have to deal with to achieve the desired outcomes.
First, there's no question global energy demand will continue to increase, driven largely by population growth (6.6 billion people today to more than 8 billion projected by 2030, mostly in developing countries) and the desire of those countries to achieve economic prosperity and a better standard of living.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that demand for energy will increase about 40% between 2007 and 2030, with essentially all growth coming from developing countries. That's roughly equivalent to adding two countries the size of the United States to the world's consumption.
Meeting that demand is estimated by the IEA to require investments of about US$26 trillion, with more than half the investment needed in developing countries.
In terms of oil supplies, current global production of about 85 million barrels per day will need to increase to 105 million barrels per day by 2030.
At the same time, the IEA projects that renewable sources, such as biomass, wind, solar, wave, tidal and geothermal energy, will increase from 10% of total energy demand today to 12% in 2030.
It is interesting to note that this current 10% includes 'traditional' biomass in the forms of wood and dung, which are scarce and/or dirty and need to be replaced with cleaner, more abundant sources to reduce deforestation and improve health.
It's not something people like to hear, but IEA projections show fossil fuels comprising about 80% of total world energy demand in 2030 - about the same as today. Even the agency's most aggressive case for emissions reductions shows 68% of the world's energy in 2030 coming from fossil fuels.
Why, in 20 to 25 years, will fossil fuels still represent such a high percentage of projected global energy use? It's simply the reality of the immense scale of the global energy infrastructure and the time and investment required to build assets like nuclear plants or develop renewable fuels at sufficient scale to make a difference.
Those who suggest there's a technological 'silver bullet' that will render fossil fuels obsolete and allow renewables to become commercially viable and available across the globe in the near future have not dealt with the real constraints of physical capacity, engineering and economics.
Can we overcome these challenges? Can we do better than the IEA projections? You bet.
What should be clear, however, is there are no quick fixes and solutions are inherently long-term and must transcend narrow, short-term interests and election cycles.
So what should our path forward look like?
We need a comprehensive, integrated plan to transition to an environmentally sustainable energy future that focuses on three key elements:
- Greater energy efficiency and conservation
- The need to diversify and increase the sources of our energy supplies
- The need for innovation and new technologies
For example, the greatest source of near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions comes from energy efficiency, which is the least expensive and fastest means of doing so.
The McKinsey Global Institute has indicated that projected global energy demand in 2020 could be reduced by more than 20 percent through energy efficiency investments that would more than pay for themselves. Such a reduction would cancel out the roughly 22% expected increase in world energy demand under baseline assumptions.
In the U.S., the new, higher CAFE or fuel efficiency standard of 36 miles per gallon for the combined U.S. fleet of cars and light trucks by model year 2020 is a step in the right direction, but further increases in the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, enhanced materials technology and greater use of hybrids could generate further reductions on an accelerated basis.
The other near-term action is greater use of natural gas. In the U.S., estimated gas resources have more than doubled - an estimated 100-year supply at current consumption levels - thanks to technology that allows us to economically develop shale-gas reservoirs. Because natural gas emits up to 60% less CO2 than coal, we could reduce GHG emissions with relatively small investment by increasing the utilization of installed gas-fired generation capacity.
It's clear we will need to significantly increase supplies of all forms of energy. However, despite an inclination to do so, it's critical that our elected leaders not pick winners and losers based on what's politically popular or expedient, but rather on a sound technical, commercial and economic basis.
Technology and innovation are also vitally important for increasing the supply of energy, moderating demand and protecting the environment. There's a tremendous amount of research and development under way in a variety of arenas, but these efforts are unfocused, and there's little coordination or sharing of knowledge. This can and should be addressed to help ensure these efforts are better coordinated and more effective.
Finally, the very serious oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico prompts intense reflection on our own industry to ensure we are taking all necessary steps to ensure this never happens again. Marathon is united with other members of the global oil & gas industry, academia, government agencies and others to enhance the long-term safety of our offshore operations.
Our Company strives every day for a zero-fatality, zero-injury work environment and we will take lessons learned from this tragic accident and apply them to our operations wherever we conduct business to ensure this indeed never happens again. This is expected of us and we expect it of ourselves.

ReviewI bought this truck Feb 28,2008. I traded out of it with 17,000 mi Jan 1 2009. The front passenger floor board area was "creaking" whenever I drive over an uneven surface. They re-welded a joint that somehow came apart with only 13,000mi. My roof leaked because of a defect on the factory- installed roof rack (took them 3 times to fix). They replaced the outside seal around the windshield because it was making a "whistling noise" at 75 MPH. Truck wouldn't start sometimes and they couldn't figure out why. I just gave up on it and let somebody else worry about what else could go wrong with it. GOOD BYE TOYOTA FOREVER!! It's the end of an era.
Best FeaturesComfortable ride.
Worst FeaturesExterior panelings need to be in line with the high price of this vehicle. Don't build it cheap and sell it high. Need proof? Gently push on the lower cowling below the headlamps and you'll hear some squeaking noise. Also try pushing in the corner of the paneling near the headlamp you'll hear it too.

The "Rainmaker's Dilemma": Bad Debt Loss Insurance in Settlement and Litigation
In this paper, we analyze the impact of Bad Debt Loss Insurance on settlement outcomes. A huge success in a settlement or trial may turn into a disaster when the defendant goes bankrupt. "Rainmakers" face the following dilemma: the greater the success in court, the greater the defendant's bankruptcy risk. The starting point of our paper is a simple trial and litigation model with perfect and complete information. We add the possibility of a defendant's bankruptcy as well as Bad Debt Loss Insurance for both the settlement and the trial stage. We demonstrate that trial insurance and settlement insurance may have different impacts on the outcome of settlement negotiations. Trial insurance tends to increase the settlement result; therefore, it generates a contract rent for the insurer and the insured. Settlement insurance, however, can under certain conditions have the opposite effect: it may decrease the settlement result.

How to allow form users to see previous entries.Asked by dewittmb on September 29, 2015 at 10:47 PM
Each day we open our business our employees must count the cash on hand and again at close. The next day another employee will have to do it again and so on and so forth. The person doing the opening count and the closing count may not be the same from morning to evening or from day to day. So I am trying to figure out a way to allow each team member to look back and see the previous entry so audit what they have. Are there any options for this?
Never mind here. I found the calendar report function and it seems to serve my purpose. I posted another thread with questions about editing this report.

I was very happy to receive my copy this morning and the first thing that struck me was that it was a much bigger box than I had anticipated. Same as Renegade and packed with sprues. A real treat so I hope they rerelease it for any that missed out. I'm not going to review the contents or the rules but I did want to take a closer look at the scenery sprue contents, as this had me a bit baffled from the start as it may have done others. It's much clearer now and hopefully will be for everyone after reading through this.
There are 8 total sprues of scenery in the set, 7 of which are unique with one being a duplicate. They are seen in the picture below and have been labelled A-G to make things easier to follow throughout the article. What becomes clear is that you have essentially 2 of the regular release kits included in the set and an additional 4 sprues. In total you have a full range of the sector mechanicus sprues but it's not quite so straight forward as bundling 3-4 kits together. The other thing that becomes apparent is that the individual releases priced at £30 are made up of 2 sprues, whereas the £45 ones contain 4 sprues and thus are better value. Lastly, the only kit to contain a unique sprue not duplicated elsewhere (but included in shadow war) is the second sprue from the alchamite stack. (sprue E)
|All 8 sprues
Here's a rundown of each sprue:
A - ladders and octagonal platform
B - smaller vent stack
C - ladders and struts
D - square platforms
E - large vent stack
F - furnace
G - skull spider and 90 degree platforms
|Ferratonic furnace
|Alchomite stack
|Ferratonic incinerator
|Promethium forge
A summary of each kits compostion:
1. Ferratonic furnace (A+F)
2. Alchomite stack (B+E)
3. Ferratonic incinerator (A+C+D+F)
4. Galvanic magnavent (B+C+D+G)
5. Promethium forge (A+B+C+G)
From this we can see a few obvious things. Firstly, there are two categories of terrain: 2 sprue and 4 sprue. Secondly, as aformentioned, kit 2 is the only one to make use of sprue E. Thirdly, there's only one sprue difference between kits 4 and 5. Lastly, Kit 3 is essentially a larger version of kit 1 and it could be argued that the SW:A kit is actually kit 2 + kit 3 plus a couple of extra sprues.
I'm very pleased with the purchase overall (which was even better with an RRP of £80 as opposed to the £90 printed in white dwarf. I'm hoping to wait until I have a few more scenery kits and my Space marine projects are out of the way before turning my attention to a sector mechanicus. (Summer of scenery Alex?) Hope this was helpful. Cheers.

Trends and climate
Trends How would you describe the current merger control climate, including any trends in particular industry sectors? In Finland, mergers are reviewed by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA). Approximately 20-30 notifications are submitted to the FCCA annually, with several in-depth investigations opened every year.
The adoption of the significant impediment of effective competition (SIEC) test in 2011 in line with the EU Merger Regulation (139/2004) has allowed the FCCA to focus more extensively on the effects of a concentration on competition. Market definition and market shares remain important, but are not necessarily decisive factors in the assessment. The assessment of the effects of a concentration on the markets can be characterised as a general assessment of many factors, with the purpose of estimating the effects of the merger on a future market situation. The FCCA regularly involves its economists in merger control investigations and has applied sophisticated economic analysis tools in some of its more significant cases.
Each concentration is assessed individually. After a decade-long pause in prohibitions, in recent years the FCCA has proposed the prohibition of a few concentrations. On the other hand, simpler cases with no harmful effects on competition are cleared relatively quickly. In general, concentrations in different sectors are not looked on differently, although certain sectors have been reviewed more frequently due to higher merger activity or the relevant turnover-based thresholds being easier to exceed.
Reform Are there are any proposals to reform or amend the existing merger control regime? The Ministry of Employment and the Economy has set up a working group to amend the Competition Act (948/2011), which includes provisions on merger control. The working group has until the end of February 2017 to examine the act, and any proposed amendments will come into force following public hearings and the legislative process. Based on published information, matters related to merger control to be considered by the working group include changing the merger control procedural deadlines from applicable days to working days, similar to the procedure at the European Commission.
Further, the special provision which empowers the FCCA to intervene in a concentration in the electricity distribution industry if the parties' combined distributed 400-volt electricity exceeds 25% based on national levels may be removed from the Competition Act. No further details have been published.
Legislation, triggers and thresholds
Legislation and authority What legislation applies to the control of mergers? Merger control rules are included in Chapter 4 of the Competition Act (948/2011). The act harmonised the national merger provisions with the EU Merger Regulation (139/2004) with only minor exceptions. The legislative preparatory works (88/2010) also state that the practice of the European courts and the European Commission's guidelines can be used when assessing a merger in accordance with the act.
The government has also issued two merger control decrees covering:
- the calculation of turnover of parties to the concentration (1011/2011); and
- the obligation to notify a concentration (1012/2011) specifying, for example, the notification form and the information to be submitted.
What is the relevant authority? The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) enforces the legislation and has sole jurisdiction to assess mergers where the relevant thresholds set in the Competition Act are met, unless the concentration is under investigation by the European Commission. The power to prohibit a concentration based on the FCCA's proposal is held by the Market Court.
In addition, the Competition Act includes some sector-specific regulation for concentrations in the employee pension insurance, pension funds and insurance fund sectors. Any concentration in these sectors must be notified to and approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. No separate notification to the FCCA is required if the Financial Supervisory Authority has asked for the FCCA's statement concerning the proposed merger and the FCCA has stated that no impediment to approval of the concentration exists. Thus, the competitive assessment in these sectors is also conducted by the FCCA.
Transactions caught and thresholds Under what circumstances is a transaction caught by the legislation? The definition of a 'concentration' covers:
- acquisition of control;
- acquisition of a business or a part thereof;
- merger; and
- creation of a joint venture performing all the functions of an autonomous economic unit on a lasting basis.
The definition is mostly in line with the definition of a 'concentration' employed in the EU Merger Regulation (139/2004) and is effectively applied in a similar fashion, although the FCCA retains some case-specific discretion. Some differences to the EU Merger Regulation also exist – for example, there is no specific exemption for 'warehousing structures'. Internal arrangements within a group of companies that do not amount to a change of control need not be notified.
Do thresholds apply to determine when a transaction is caught by the legislation? A concentration must be notified where the aggregate worldwide turnover of the parties exceeds €350 million and the turnover of each of at least two of the parties accrued from Finland exceeds €20 million. The relevant turnovers are based on the company's last financial statements. Special rules apply to calculating the turnover of investment companies, credit institutions and other financial institutions.
Informed guidance Is it possible to seek informal guidance from the authority on a possible merger from either a jurisdictional or a substantive perspective? The FCCA is always open to pre-notification discussions regarding jurisdiction, information to be submitted in the notification and substantive issues. Pre-notification discussions are recommended at least in more complex cases.
Foreign-to-foreign Are foreign-to-foreign mergers caught by the regime? Is a 'local impact' test applicable under the legislation? The Competition Act does not treat foreign-to-foreign transactions differently and there is no local impact test.
Joint ventures What types of joint venture are caught by the legislation? The creation of a joint venture that carries out all functions of an autonomous economic unit on a lasting basis falls within the scope of the definition of a concentration. Non-full-function joint ventures do not constitute a concentration and are not subject to notification.
Process and timing Is the notification process voluntary or mandatory? The notification is mandatory when the relevant turnover thresholds are exceeded and the transaction in question amounts to a concentration. A concentration must be notified where the aggregate worldwide turnover of the parties exceeds €350 million and the turnover of each of at least two of the parties accrued from Finland exceeds €20 million. The relevant turnovers are based on the company's last financial statements. Special rules apply to calculating the turnover of investment companies, credit institutions and other financial institutions.
What timing requirements apply when filing a notification? The notification must be made before the transaction is implemented. In particular, the notification must be made after the conclusion of an agreement, the acquisition of control or the announcement of a public bid. Otherwise, there are no timing requirements and the notification may be submitted as soon as the parties may sufficiently demonstrate their intentions to enter into the transaction (eg, by signing a letter of intent).
What form should the notification take? What content is required? The notification form is broadly similar to Form CO of the EU Merger Regulation. A concentration may also be notified by using a short-form notification. The party may ask the FCCA whether it approves the use of the short form, or may simply notify the concentration in accordance with the short form. However, the FCCA may always require the notifying party to use the normal detailed notification form. For instance, the use of the short form may be justifiable where companies set up a joint venture which accrues no revenue and has no other connection to the Finnish market.
The notification must include the information specified in the Decree on the Scope of the Obligation to Notify (1012/2011). The filing must be made in Finnish or Swedish, but the annexes can also be in English. The FCCA may order the notifying parties to provide a Finnish or Swedish translation of any particularly important or ambiguous annexes. Any business secrets contained in the notification or its annexes must be clearly indicated by the parties.
Since November 2015 the notifications must be submitted electronically (in practice, on a portable hard drive such as an USB memory stick). Paper copies are no longer required.
Certain documents must be enclosed as annexes to the notification, such as:
- trade register extracts from each party;
- agreements concerning or relating to the concentration, such as share purchase agreements, shareholder agreements and public bids; and
- the latest annual reports and profit and loss accounts.
The parties can supplement the information provided in the notification by other annexes, schedules and diagrams.
Is there a pre-notification process before formal notification, and if so, what does this involve? Before submitting the notification it is possible to engage in confidential negotiations where the parties may discuss the preliminary views of the authorities and specify the information to be provided. While the FCCA typically grants audience for such meetings, negotiations are mainly held in more complicated matters. These open pre-notification discussions make it possible for the FCCA to evaluate a concentration before the procedural timelines begin to run. The meetings and their participants are confidential.
Pre-clearance implementation Can a merger be implemented before clearance is obtained? The transaction may not be implemented before the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) has cleared the transaction.
However, the FCCA may grant permission to implement the merger before clearance in individual cases. Typically, the permission concerns only some implementation measures, not the entire transaction.
Measures necessary to preserve and safeguard assets and measures necessary to ensure the continuing of business may also be implemented.
Guidance from authorities What guidance is available from the authorities? The FCCA has published its Guidelines on Merger Control in 2011, which are largely in line with the European Commission's guidelines. In practice, the FCCA is always willing discuss issues related to the proposed concentration, jurisdiction and content of the notification.
Fees What fees are payable to the authority for filing a notification?
There are no filing fees.
Publicity and confidentiality What provisions apply regarding publicity and confidentiality? The FCCA is obliged to treat the matter confidential until the official notification has been submitted to the FCCA, after which the matter is registered and the names of the parties become public. Business secrets contained in the notification, requests for comments to market participants and other materials are protected under the Act on Openness of Government Activities (621/1999) during and after the merger control procedure.
Penalties Are there any penalties for failing to notify a merger? On a recommendation by the FCCA, the Market Court may impose fines of up to 10% of the infringing party's turnover where the party has failed to notify the concentration. The Market Court may also order the concentration to be dissolved. However, the FCCA has never made such a proposal.
Procedure and test
Procedure and timetable What procedures are followed by the authority? What is the timetable for the merger investigation? The review by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) is divided into two phases, the latter of which is initiated only if the FCCA considers it necessary to investigate the concentration further.
Phase I investigations last for a maximum of one month from receipt of the notification. During Phase I the FCCA decides whether it investigates the notified concentration further and opens the Phase II investigation, or approves the concentration with or without conditions. If the FCCA does not make a decision within one month, the concentration is considered approved.
The FCCA clears the concentration during Phase I if there are no significant harmful effects on competition. In practice, the FCCA tries to issue decisions in cases with no competition concerns in around 10 working days, but is not obliged to do so.
In Phase II the FCCA has three months to decide whether to:
- impose conditions on the implementation of a concentration;
- approve it without conditions; or
- propose prohibition to the Market Court.
The FCCA may ask the Market Court to extend the Phase II investigation by up to two months, which it has done in some complex cases. The FCCA's practice is to require consent of the parties to the concentration to such a request.
The FCCA is open for confidential pre-notification negotiations which may lead to the FCCA requiring less information about a concentration or clearing it more rapidly after the actual notification is submitted.
What obligations are imposed on the parties during the process? The parties may not implement the concentration before the clearance decision has been issued. The party acquiring control of the business or a part thereof is under an obligation to submit the notification. The entities or foundations participating in a merger and the undertakings founding a full-function joint venture are also under an obligation to make a notification.
The parties may also need to respond to the FCCA's specific questions or requests for certain data, with the risk that the FCCA may stop the procedural timelines until it has received all requested information. The FCCA is also empowered to carry out surprise investigations in merger control cases and has done so in practice.
What role can third parties play in the process? The FCCA customarily hears the customers, competitors and suppliers of the merging parties, as well as other authorities and trade associations during the review process. Third parties are also invited to submit their comments on the commitments that the parties have offered. Third parties have an extensive right to access documents and may also be granted an audience with the FCCA to express their views, particularly during Phase II investigations. However, the right to appeal the actual decision requires that the decision have a direct effect on the rights, obligations or interests of the complainant. The Supreme Administrative Court has ruled (Decision 2002:50) that generally, competitors cannot appeal a clearance decision. Pursuant to the Competition Act (948/2011) and the aforementioned decision of the Supreme Administrative Court, the Market Court can prohibit a concentration only based on a proposal by the FCCA. Therefore, an appealing party cannot have a concentration prohibited.
Substantive test What is the substantive test applied by the authority? The applicable substantive test is the significant impediment of effective competition (SIEC) test, under which it is assessed whether the proposed merger significantly impedes effective competition in Finnish markets or a substantial part thereof, particularly as a result of creating or strengthening of a dominant position. The SIEC test allows the assessment to have a wider focus on the actual competitive effects of the merger.
Carve-outs Does the legislation allow carve-out agreements in order to avoid delaying the global closing? Measures necessary to preserve and safeguard assets and measures necessary to ensure the continuing of business may be implemented. Further, the FCCA may give a permission for closing at least outside Finland.
Test for joint ventures Is a special substantive test applied for joint ventures? No. The FCCA reviews joint ventures based on the SIEC test. The Competition Act contains no explicit provisions on assessing the possible coordination of the competitive behaviour of the joint venture's parent companies similarly to Article 2(4) of the EU Merger Regulation. However, according to the FCCA's Guidelines on Merger Control, the SIEC test also covers review of these effects.
Potential outcomes What are the potential outcomes of the merger investigation? Please include reference to potential remedies, conditions and undertakings. The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) may approve the concentration with or without conditions, or may propose to the Market Court that the concentration should be prohibited. The Market Court may then approve the concentration with conditions (which may be different from the ones submitted to the FCCA) or prohibit the concentration.
The parties may propose remedies for potential competition issues. It is up to the notifying party to propose sufficient remedies. Pursuant to the Competition Act (948/2011), the FCCA cannot impose conditions on a concentration that are not approved by the notifying party. This effectively means that the parties must propose remedies early enough so that the FCCA can properly assess them within the relevant time limits. The last two prohibition proposals made by the FCCA were based on the view that sufficient remedies had not been offered early enough.
The preparatory works of the Competition Act state that mainly structural remedies (eg, divestments) should be used in merger control cases. The FCCA favours structural remedies over behavioural ones, and notes in its Guidelines on Merger Control that remedies which are ordered to be followed are usually structural. However, examples of clearing concentrations based only on behavioural remedies can also be found in the FCCA's practice in situations where they are found appropriate and sufficient to counter the problems identified.
Right of appeal Is there a right of appeal? A notifying party cannot appeal a conditional approval decision. If the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) makes a proposal to the Market Court to prohibit the concentration, the parties are asked to submit their written statement regarding the proposal to the court. The Market Court's decisions may be further appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court by the notifying party or the FCCA.
The notifying party cannot appeal a decision approving the concentration without commitments (eg, for the reason that the concentration was not notifiable due to jurisdictional issues) as, according to Market Court case law (MAO:115/I/02), the notifying party lacks the need for legal protection in such situations.
Do third parties have a right of appeal? Third parties have the right to appeal a decision approving the concentration only if they are considered to be directly affected by the decision in the sense specified in the Administrative Judicial Procedure Act. In practice, however, third parties in a merger control case have never been considered to be in such a position. As the Market Court can prohibit a concentration only based on the FCCA's proposal, an appealing third party cannot have a concentration prohibited. Therefore, the only effect that an appeal could have is the removal of either a single commitment or the whole remedies package.
Time limit What is the time limit for any appeal? An appeal from a FCCA decision must be submitted to the courts within 30 days of notification of the decision, and subsequent appeals to the Supreme Administrative Court must also be submitted within 30 days of receiving notification of the court's decision. However, the grounds of appeal may be amended at a later stage and there is no preclusion in administrative procedure.

Aniston is engaged to marry Justin Theroux but details of her wedding are being kept under wraps.
"I know she's engaged but that's all I know. I'm sure I'll find out about it when it's about to happen... for privacy issues... I honestly don't know anything about it. She doesn't consult me on her plans," Handler said on a US chat show.
There were speculations that the couple, who got engaged in August last year, will tie the knot in Hawaii in the coming weeks.
However, her representative later denied the rumours.

Healthy Lifestyle
Healthy living is within your reach, starting today. Sure, healthy living is a long-term commitment. But there are steps you can take right now that will make today healthier than yesterday and pave the way for healthy living tomorrow, too. Here's your checklist of practical healthy living tips that are ready to go.
- Make appointments with your doctor and dentist. Catch up on your routine screening and immunizations, and take the opportunity to ask your doctor any questions you might have.
- Gauge your girth. Measure your height and weight to check your BMI, and measure your waist circumference to see if you're overweight and if your waistline is putting your health at risk.
- Consider your social network. How strong are your connections with family and friends? Are you plugged in with social or spiritual groups that enrich your life? "People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting relationships," C. Nathan DeWall, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Kentucky, tells WebMD.
- Set a weekly goal for activity. To build your confidence, "make the first goal so easy that you say, 'I know I can do that,'" Williams suggests. She recommends weekly goals because if you set a daily goal and miss a day, you might get discouraged; weekly goals give you more day-to-day flexibility. And at the end of the week, reward yourself with a visual reminder of your accomplishment, such as buying flowers for yourself.

Has James Cameron talked to you about returning to Pandora for Part 2? Do you know how Queen Moat is going to continue on in this universe?
CCH Pounder: I don't get demoted. I still remain the Queen. I don't have a husband. I don't know exactly what that entails, or how that will be set-up in this culture that James Cameron is still creating. Can a woman become head of the tribe? This is as much of a mystery to me as it is to you and all the people waiting for the sequel. We do know that there is a sequel. He didn't want to jump on it right away. The first one took so much thought in putting it together. The next one is going to be even more about story. Because we've established the language. We've established the environment. Now it's the next phase in the "Na'vi meet the humans" storyline.
It took you, personally, a year and a half to shoot your role in the film. With all the technology in place, is it still going to take you another year and a half to shoot your character, or are you going to be able to go in, like on a normal film, and knock it out in three months?
CCH Pounder: I think its going to be like that. I don't know that any of James Cameron's films ever take just three months. Because with my year and a half, I had one of the shorter shooting periods. For instance, Zoe Saldana was there for two and a half years. I don't know if it will be that short. I do know that because this stuff is in place, it will be much easier for him to write the story. But James is forever inventing. (Laughs) He will come up with something that I'm sure will delay it. Because its going to be even bigger, and faster than it was before. His techno-mind is that amazing. He is already thinking ahead. And he will benefit from the films that are coming after Avatar, and what they have learned. The technology of film is changing. And we are being swept up in that as actors.
Avatar 2 comes to theaters in 2014. The film is directed by James Cameron.

There are many ways to increase your magnesium intake, from foods to pills to powders. However one of the most interesting ways to increase your magnesium levels is by using magnesium oil.
Why would you want more magnesium?
Well, magnesium is a mineral that is necessary for more than 300 functions in the human body.
It helps regulate everything from muscle contractions to calcium absorption, to the hormones that we produce. Magnesium helps create energy that keeps you going, and can prevent significant health risks, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Magnesium is found naturally in plants and animals, so we consume it in many of the foods we eat. Unfortunately, years of scientific research show that many people are magnesium deficient, likely due to poor food quality.
So to maintain healthy magnesium levels, you can take an over-the-counter pill or powder supplement.
However, you can also use a topical magnesium oil, which is often easier to use and provides some key benefits that oral supplements can't.Continue Reading
Natural Calm Magnesium Review: Powder vs Pill
One of the most popular magnesium supplements is Natural Vitality's Natural Calm. What makes it unique is that it is a powder that you dissolve in water and drink.
This makes it super easy to take when compared to the large pills that make up most other supplements.
Having tried a wide range of magnesium supplements (including Natural Vitality's) I am often asked what I think of it so here I have put together my own Calm Magnesium review.
The Best Magnesium Supplement (And How I Found It)
Many readers have asked me to share the supplements I take to keep my magnesium levels up.
At first I was hesitant, but then I realized that what I've learned might help someone else so I finally decided to list them here (including what I've found to be the best magnesium supplement overall).
Because over the course of a few years I tried a wide range of magnesium supplements in the hope of finding something that would help my various symptoms.
Most either didn't make any difference to my health or only helped a little … and some even made things worse.
The whole process taught me that not all supplements work the same.
Below I've only listed the supplements that have helped me the most. Everything here is something I (or my wife) currently take every day.
Together these magnesium supplements have made a huge impact on my quality of life.Continue Reading
