The Anishinaabe, which includes the Chippewa or Ojibwe, have lived in harmony with the Great Sea for more than six hundred years. When French fur traders arrived, they formed an alliance that made the Ojibwe the dominant native population in the region before they were driven out by the expanding United States. The Ojibwe called the big lake "Gichigami," which simply means "Great Sea." In his work, The Song of Hiawatha, Longfellow used the spelling Gitche Gumee, which was later Gordon Lightfoot's preferred spelling as well.
I don't know if my dad was familiar with any of that. More likely, he read a sign posted by the local tourism board at some scenic overlook. But to my dad's way of thinking, Gitche Gumee didn't sound like the name of a lake; it sounded like the name of a monster.
Dad wasn't home much. It's not that he was always working or anything like that. As a matter of fact, I can't really remember him holding down a job for more than a few months. He just liked to spend time at Randall's a lot more than he enjoyed spending time with Mom. Can you blame him? Beer helps you forget things, if only temporarily. Mom never lets you forget anything.
Anyway, it's hard to hold down a regular job that starts at 7:00 when you come home reeking of Hamm's and piss at 2:30 most mornings.
As much as Dad may have wanted nothing to do with Mom by that point, it was obvious that he still enjoyed time with me and Abby. Sometimes totally soused, but often as sober as a judge, he would sit on the couch and tell Abby and me stories of the Gitche Gumee—how every year on a warm August evening it would crawl out of the Great Lake and slink across the land to a random home looking for its favorite meal… small children.
Then he would get suddenly still and quiet. "Shhhhh… I hear something… do you hear that?" he would whisper.
"Fooooo-oood." he would say in a ghostly caterwaul—the voice of the monster.
"Oh no, it's here! Hide!"
"Fooo-oooo-ooood!" sounding louder and closer. "Fooooooooood!" closer still.
By this point, Abby and I were about as far into the couch as is humanly possible in anticipation of what we knew was coming. Dread, excitement, longing, and love filled us. Then Dad would attack us with kisses and tickles while repeating "foooo-ood!" until we were exhausted.
Of course those were games for dads to play with little kids. It stopped completely when I was about ten. Abby was just a little more than a year younger. Dad may have continued with her for a bit longer, but I never saw it.
In those years, Abby wasn't just my little sister but she was also my best friend. Well, her and Billy Simpson anyway. By the time Billy and I were fourteen, I'm pretty sure he was starting to develop a little more interest in Abby than he would have ever admitted. I'm also pretty sure the feelings were mutual.
During summer vacations, the three of us would get up to all kinds of mischief around town, but one of our favorite recurring diversions was to sit down on the breakwall and fish. We called it fishing anyway since there were poles, fishing line, hooks, and bait involved. I don't really remember any fish, though.
The pair of breakwaters are jetties that protect the town's shoreline from the rough gales that form large waves on the lake. The east breakwater stretches almost 1700 feet out, about half before a thirty degree bend toward the west breakwater, and about half after the bend. It is comprised of timber cribs and a concrete cap resting on stone fill.
Since Abby and I didn't see Dad much anymore—if ever—and no one could stand to be around Mom, there really wasn't anything we liked more than sitting down there, "fishing," and telling stories about things that were, things that never were, and things that (as it turned out) never would be.
It was Saturday, August 16th, 1984. I'll never forget that date, like how none of you will ever forget September 11th, 2001. Mid-August is the hottest part of the year on Superior's North Shore and we set the heat record that day. Somehow, between the stories and uneventful fishing, we completely lost track of the time. That happened more than you might think.
The sun had gone behind Pork City Hill, but the sky was clear and the moon was waning but still almost full, so there was still plenty of light as we packed up our gear. I was just mounting my bicycle when I heard the first big splash about fifteen feet out on the seaward side of the breakwater.
"What was that, Andy?" my sister exclaimed. Billy was already on his bike and moving but he stopped to see what was happening in the water. He was the closest to the seaward edge and still the furthest from shore. That's when it burst from the water. It had to be fifteen feet long on stubby legs and probably three feet in diameter, but with a powerful tail that propelled it from the depths. And it was dark; not black like you might expect but a dark translucent greenish hue. You could even see that in the diminishing light.
The stench was a horrific combination of landfill and rotting fish. But what I noticed most were the teeth. Big, long sharp, teeth. People always think "white" when you mention teeth, but these were a rusty metallic color. Somehow I could tell they were in rows like a shark, or more like a lamprey. But lampreys don't have legs, and lampreys aren't fifteen feet long. And lampreys don't bite your best friend, Billy, in two.
"Get on your bike and fucking ride, Abigail! Forget about the gear!" But she was frozen to her spot, staring at the bloody fallen bicycle and lower torso with legs where our best friend had stood a moment before.
I got off of my bike and shook her, probably a little harder than I intended. But it snapped her out of her daze. She leaped onto her bike and started racing for shore with me right behind her. I don't know if the Gichigami finished what it started with Billy, but the authorities never found anything. I could hear splashes chasing as Abby and I raced for the shore. I made sure to stay behind her because she was all I had left in this world. We rode hard—the hardest I've ever ridden.
"Be careful around the bend!" I yelled up to her. She took the turn with ease, barely slowing.
"We're gonna make it," I thought as the shore inched closer. But the Gichigami had other ideas as it made another try, snatching Abby and her bike in a single leap and disappearing back into the depths.
It never did say "foooood."
I only told this truth to the first investigator. She didn't believe a word of it. Why would she? The story is not believable. I wouldn't even believe me if I hadn't lived through it. They dredged the harbor. Divers searched the seaward side. Nothing was ever found.
All of the counseling and therapy have done practically nothing for me. To this day, I can't go near even small lakes, or rivers, or even ponds. I don't even care for puddles, to be honest.
Author's note: Credit to my IRL dad, who actually did tell similar stories to the fictional dad in this tale complete with the kisses and tickling. That's where the similarities end, though.

South Main St. East side, Sandy Creek, NY
In 1912, a fire destroyed the commercial block on the south east corner of Main Street and Harwood Drive (California Block) and gutted the Horace Scripture House. While the Scripture residence was immediately restored, the land on Main Street was cleared, planted and dedicated as a village park. It remained an open green space until 1928 when former resident, the Honorable D. E. Ainsworth, donated the Annie Porter Ainsworth Memorial Public Library to the town of Sandy Creek and directed it be located on the park site.

Beats By Dre Developers File Lawsuit Against Headphone Startup Fanny Wang
By Antony Bruno
Monster Cable and Beats Electronics, the companies behind the Beats by Dre line of headphones, have filed a lawsuit against startup headphone manufacturer Fanny Wang.
The lawsuit, filed four days after the company's launch, among other things, alleges that Fanny Wang copies the Beats design patent and packaging. They are seeking a temporary restraining order that would in effect prohibit Fanny Wang from exhibiting at the upcoming CES trade show.
Part of the dispute may stem from the fact that Fanny Wang hired a sound engineer that formally worked for Monster on the Beats line. Additionally, the Fanny Wang website references Beats by Dre in its marketing text ("The Fanny Wang headphones takes the trend started by 'Beats by Dr Dre' to the next level") and does the same in its press release.
Monster and Beats contend Fanny Wang's devices are "knock offs" of the "Studio" and "Solo" models of the Beats by Dre line. Judging by the photos on the Fanny Wang site, there are some similarities, but a judge will have to decide to what extent. And based on Fanny Wang's response to the lawsuit, the company seems to be using the legal action as a marketing tool to drum up attention.
Beats by Dre, of course, is the headphone line backed by Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine and hip-hop legend Dr. Dre. You can read the filing here.

August, You Were a Friend of Mine
Here's my list from August:
The Grand Sophy / Georgette Heyer eB (1950,387) ***** 61
The Silent Wife / Kerry Fisher eB (2017,352) ** DNF 60
The Almost Sisters / Joshilyn Jackson ARC Tb (2017,339) **** 59
The Nightingale / Kristin Hannah Tb (2015,440) *** 58
Finders Keepers / Stephen King pb (2015,448) **** 57
Wake in Winter / Ndezhda Belenkaya eB (2016,368) ** DNF 56
Reviews, out of order…
I DNF'd Wake in Winter and The Silent Wife. I remember that Wake in Winter got off to a very clunky start with drastic change of tone and perspective of voice. Is the author talking or the character? Very abrupt. And… as always, when I get that distracting voice in my head that starts to question what is the what, I do looking for reviews. I found many critical negative reviews and it solidified my need to give it up. I can't even remember what made me give up on The Silent Wife. Wow, nope, I don't remember and don't feel necessary to go find out. I'm sure I had good reasons. Feel free to click on the titles to go see the books in goodreads and do your own research.
I've already mentioned elsewhere on the bookish social media outlets that I have an allergy to Kristin Hannah. I'm sure she is lovely and she is obviously held in high esteem by her fans and that is great. I just don't like her style of writing. I do appreciate her giving attention to the amazing women who resisted the Nazis in WW2 and for that, The Nightingale gets three slices of pie. Bonus Apple Pie.
Another issue I had with The Nightingale was that the copy I purchased from Target had 40 pages missing!!! I kept reading and have decided I didn't miss a thing. I was able to return the book for credit which I immediately used to buy another book.
Stephen King's Finders Keepers was that book. This is second in the Bill Hodges trilogy. I liked it. I tagged it as having a pie mention but will look it up another time. (I read book #3 in September…)
I very much enjoyed the humor and writing in The Almost Sisters. I think Joshilyn Jackson has talent. The story, at times, had a few things that made me cringe (like why do we think we have to rush the old people into a home! GEEEEESH) but otherwise, I thought the main character has some fun things going for her and she made me laugh. Maybe made me cry, too. I don't remember that part but it might have had some heart tugs. Bonus pie mentions: ice pie, church pie, the making of pie crusts.
And the BEST OF AUGUST! is Georgette Heyer's The Grand Sophy. Fun stuff and always a vocabulary booster. If you like strong women in times that never expected strong women, these are a treat. Keep in mind, some character depictions will/may offend today's sensibilities.

"Sparks flew Wednesday at a hearing on the botched rollout of HealthCare.gov as Republican lawmakers grilled former White House Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Todd Park about his role in the site's creation.
GOP members had sought for almost a year to bring Park before the House Science and Technology Committee, desiring to suss out his level of involvement in the debacle."
"Sparks flew Wednesday at a hearing on the botched rollout of HealthCare.gov as Republican lawmakers grilled former White House Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Todd Park about his role in the site's creation.
""This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the CBO [Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies."
– MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, captured on videotape
What did Gruber mean when he uttered this words in a now-infamous video that has inflamed hostility to the Affordable Care Act?Details
"MONTPELIER, Vt. An economist who said "the stupidity of the American voter" helped pass the complex federal health care law has agreed to finish his work on Vermont's health insurance systems for free, a top state official said Wednesday.
But the state will continue to pay assistants working with Jonathan Gruber, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who advised the Obama administration as it crafted the Affordable Care Act."
"Gruber, who was paid half a million dollars to design Obamacare, is on tape bragging about how the Democrats relied on "the stupidity of the American voter" to pass that law. Which, ironically, was sort of a stupid thing to say on camera.
By now there are so many tapes of Gruber explaining how Obamacare fooled stupid Americans that they're being released as a boxed set in time for Christmas."
"The mainstream press – a term which is rapidly losing all meaning as Fox News has begun to not only dominate cable news but the networks as well, but what was once understood to include big city newspapers and the three broadcast networks – has largely ignored the scandal surrounding Jonathan Gruber's many impolitic comments.Details
"The pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare coupled with a small provision buried in the law could give Republicans in the new Congress the opportunity to power-boost free-market health reform.
The high court will hear arguments, likely in March, on whether the Obama administration had legal authority to allow tax subsidies to flow through the health insurance exchange established by the federal government."
"In the blink of an eye, Obamacare enrollment numbers through August fell from 7.3 million to just under 7 million — a level that dips overall enrollment under 2013 enrollment projections from the Congressional Budget Office. How'd it happen? In short, the administration combined Obamacare medical plan enrollment with dental plan enrollment for those August numbers — while previous reports had kept the two numbers distinct.
Here's how the Department of Health and Human Services reported enrollments in a report last April. This shows only the last line of enrollments, but the number of plans with data on "metal level" (that is, the quality of the plan), is fairly close to the overall number of enrollments. Underneath, the number of people who got standalone dental coverage. 8 million; 1.1 million."
"Of all the taxes in ObamaCare, none is more onerous than the whopping 40 percent Cadillac tax on the more generous employer-provided health care plans, which often are union plans.
The now-famous former outside adviser on ObamaCare, Jonathan Gruber of MIT, spoke about the Cadillac tax before an audience at the Pioneer Institute in 2011, saying, "It turns out politically, it's really hard to get rid of. And the only way we could get rid of it was first by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people, when we all know it's a tax on people who hold those insurance plans.""
"The White House continued to distance itself from a controversial adviser Tuesday, suggesting that Jonathan Gruber had a narrow role focused on economic issues when he worked on the development of the Affordable Care Act.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Mr. Gruber, who received about $400,000 from the Department of Health and Human Services for his work, advised the administration on the economics of health care – not on the logistics of getting the law passed."
"Retired Dallas police Sgt. Tom Wafer recently received a call from a commander that "shocked the fool" out of him: The city can't let him or any of his fellow retirees watch police surveillance camera feeds anymore when the year is over because of an obscure provision of the Affordable Care Act.
City officials say they had to cut Wafer, 74, along with two dozen other retired officers because the health care law put them in a costly bind. The layoffs also affect a few other city agencies but hit the Dallas Police Department hardest."

I first felt that I could be my own person when I realized I could put something bright on my lips. I was allowed in elementary school to wear lipstick when performing in plays or dance recitals, or I could 'play' if I asked properly, and then would ask if I could wear the color up an down the block before removing it. I was a born bright-lip exhibitionist. I would sneak into my mom's, or my grandmother's make-up drawers and would slather colors on my face and lips until I felt satisfied. It took a lot of applying until I felt that click of satisfaction. But when it was right, I was brain-buzzingly perfect.
Upon my entering 7th grade, I was told "You can pick ONE make-up product, and put it on here at home, and then that is it." and so I decided on an Estee Lauder orang-ey pink and I put it on and on and on and on and until until it was probably a centimeter thick. When my ride to school picked me up for school, my friend's mom said "Well, you sure have something on your lips.' and I proudly tossed my hair and responded 'YEAH I do."
When you're young enough you don't give a whit. You like the strange things you're drawn to, regardless of how silly others may think you look. You are what you are, unfiltered. At least I was. My most confident years were those before 13 or 14, which is when many girls who start apologizing for themselves (but that is another story for a different kind of day).
I reckon I looked ridiculous, but I was happily ridiculous. I was 'me'--or rather, trying to find myself. I felt fabulous, even if no one thought I was fabulous. I rocked over-the-top lipsticks straight through my school-days. Orange to pinky-tan to a matte deep plum called 'Perfect Mystery' I STILL fantasize about. I went from a teenyboppy girl who liked bright things to a girl in flannels who liked dark matte lips pretty quickly. It was 1993-4 when that transition occurred... when Perfect Mystery brought it all together for me. That and a mix tape given to me by a boy I met at an Art-camp I 'summered' at a few years. The mix tape contained a decent mix of The Stone Roses and Primus and Ani DiFranco. I can still see an emotional snap-shot of listening to that mix-tape, putting on a dark matte lip, and thinking "This is being grown-up now, isn't it?" This is before we knew what a smize was, or had a million photos of ourselves plastered on the internet. I had my review-mirror and my best friend telling me I looked cute.
There were the hours of searching in grocery stores and beauty supply stores and weird small town department stores. Standing alone in the aisles of the Consumer's IGA, with my mom or dad or brother anxiously begging me to hurry up. Staring, thinking about who I wanted to be that next week. At grocery stores trying on wasn't allowed. You had to imagine what the color would become on your skin. You had to take a leap of faith. You had to know you were about to spend 3 dollars or 4 dollars on something that MAY be a disaster (it was never a disaster, because all new colors at that point were fun.)
When at the department store, I bothered the sales-girls. I talked to them like they were gurus who held the keys to the universe. As though they'd tell me some secret about some color and a new world would unfold for me. They knew how old I was, what my financial ramifications were as a pre-teen, yet they entertained my enthusiasm. I'd tinker and try-on and beg for money to get those long-stared at and coveted cream-bullets. I remember the shade-names. The Black Honey's and the Perfect Mystery's and the Ginger Berry's and I can feel the flush of excitement when I'd open the new tube.
Because they were perfectly loud. Because I began to assert myself as a person then. Because these products were going to play a very important role in my life, I just didn't know it yet.

Get and stay compliant while leveraging GDPR requirements into insights around your organizations data quality.
It's now critical for every organization to scan their stored information for personal data, to classify it and to continuously monitor it for compliance. With a continuous growth of unstructured data and increasing regulatory requirements we're all put under pressure. Quality Control by Formpipe provides a tool to minimize risk with minimal effort.
Due to massive growth of data, organizations struggle to fully comply with internal policies for data storage. The result is an ever growing amount of unstructured data stored in many different locations with insufficient or no access control and governance. Most frequently file shares are now filled with what could be considered to be hidden risky and sensitive data such as personal data (social security numbers, tax payer's ID, email addresses, phone numbers, financial information etc.). The overlying risk has grown proportionally to the growth of unstructured data.
For too long have this issue been a low priority due to the lack of clear incentives. An increasing deprivation of insight in what data that exists within your organization not only put you at significant risk but prevents you from gaining valuable intelligence from it, optimizing storage and improving data quality by making sure policies are followed.
When GDPR is entering in to force the 25th of May 2018 organizations not complying with the requirements suffers a risk of being subject to a fine up to €20 million or 4% of total yearly worldwide turnover (whichever is higher). For you to be compliant you need to know what data you're storing, how you process it and whether or not you have proper consent. So to summarize, the way many organizations historically have handled their data will now have to change.
It's like medicine, you cannot cure a disease without the correct diagnosis. If you do not know what data you've stored, how you've stored it and where you've stored it, how will you be able to take actions towards compliance?
Far from all data is sensitive and is ruled under regulatory requirements but when left unstructured, all data is considered a risk. It's like finding the needle in a haystack. So in late May next year when a person requests a report on all data that your organization have stored on him or her and exercises the right to be forgotten. How will you respond?
Quality Control by Formpipe is a file analysis tool that scans and monitor all data within the organization based on a set of highly flexible and configurable rules. Wherever the data is stored Quality Control can analyze, index, search, track and report on file metadata and file content. An authorized user can then take action on files in line with policies and regulatory requirements.
Integrated with your file shares, email databases, enterprise file synchronization and sharing platform, ERP, CRM and ECM platforms etc. you're given a central administrative interface from which you can monitor your whole organization's data and provide quantitative reports on risk and quality. Quality Control offers you the possibility that through a ready integration with Microsoft Power BI get a cutting edge data visualization tool for in-depth insight and business intelligence.
It's a scalable and an intuitive tool. Deployed within a week it provides short time-to-value. It's simple. The use case is concrete and the tool is straight forward. Minimize risk with minimal effort.
By scanning and indexing data you'll get a complete report over the sensitive data within your organization. But this is not the whole solution, only the enabler. Once found, you'll need to move all the risky data to a secure platform from which you can structure and manage it according to retention policies. Something that is missing from many vendors' offers.
By always working with the information's whole life cycle Formpipe knows that you cannot solve this challenge if you do not have an answer to where the data is going to end up. Through a seamless connection between Quality Control and Formpipe's market leading archive for digital preservation: Long-Term Archive we enable structure, control, retention and searchability. All in line with leading analysts' recommendation. Quality Control by Formpipe therefore provides your business with the best-of-breed solution for GPDR compliance.
Formpipe has a history of working with regulatory requirements and efficiency since the 80's and in the highly regulated environment that is the Swedish and Danish public sector, the Life Science industry etc. we have thrived. In the reality of digitization, decreasing budgets and increasing requirements on service, mobility and compliance we've developed a product portfolio that helps our existing customers face the challenges of today but also those of tomorrow.

Taking its name and inspiration from Yamaha's iconic 1970s XS1, this stunning new model grabs the high torque three cylinder motor and agility of the MT-09 and gives in a whole new twist. The character and mind expanding performance of the 09 is retained in a stylish package that oozes timeless authenticity.
The 847cc 3-cylinder engine is equipped with a traction control system and an assist and slipper clutch to enhance the slightly more upright and refined riding experience. Yet the 'R' in the model name is there to highlight the link to Yamaha's sport bike heritage. Which means that instant torque and agile handling not only makes urban riding fun but builds anticipation for those Sunday morning blasts.

North of Copenhagen is one of my favorite museums. It's the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. A very beautiful place, it's a fantastic building with a panoramic view of the sea and on good days you can see all the way to Sweden. The exhibitions are almost always amazing. If you've never been there and it is, in my opinion, one of the places you need to go when you visit Denmark. At the moment, until November 4th, there is an exhibition called 'New Nordic – Architecture & Identity'. It's mainly about Architecture, but it also tries to give hints about what the Nordic identity is. In small videos different people give their opinion on that.
Last weekend, the Norwegian knitting designer couple Arne & Carlos, came to Louisiana, to talk about their work and about their books.
You might know their christmas balls-book. It was published about a year ago here in Denmark. I met them back then when they came to talk about it in Copenhagen. Recently they published a book of knitted dolls, which is quite cute.
I have been a fan of their work since I discovered them 4-5 years ago, when they worked with Comme des Garçons. They made some intriguing knitwear for CdG.
This time I had brought my portfolio along, and showed it to them.
They gave me good ideas about which people to talk to when.
Arne & Carlos are two amazing guys. If you ever get a chance to meet them you should do so. They are fun and really nice!

Nostalgia Theater: The Many Faces of Super Friends, Part 2 -- The Super Powers Collection
Here's a fun one featuring Marc McClure (a.k.a. Jimmy Olsen from the '70-'80s Superman movie series) to promote a bonus mail-in figure:
Hey, as long as the check clears, right? Anyway, Super Powers was an unquestionable success right out the gate (I still have fond memories of excitedly buying the Superman figure as a wee one -- a figure I happily reacquired recently after a fevered eBay hunt). This in turn prompted a full-court merchandising and marketing press on the part of both DC and Kenner. As part of this push, Hanna-Barbara decided to dust off the venerable Super Friends show once more, explicitly tying it in for the first time in its history with a toy initiative. The result was Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show. Here's the intro for the '84-'85 season, which once again aired on ABC:
As you can see, the character designs are the same Alex Toth ones they'd been using for the past ten years on Super Friends, but they did mix things up a bit by bringing in new hero Firestorm and new baddie Darkseid (coincidentally both recent recipients of action figures). Also of note, the star of the 1960's Batman TV series, Adam West, stepped in to voice his TV alter ego, replacing Olan Soule. The Legendary Super Powers Show lasted for eight episodes, but it wasn't the end of the road quite yet, as Super Friends had one more life left in it. The following season, the show went through its final metamorphosis, becoming The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians:
As you can see, the biggest change was the character designs, which were redesigned by artist José Luis García-López to more consistently reflect his style guides being used for the various bits of Super Powers marketing art. Also of note is the addition new hero Cyborg to the lineup. Created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez for the 1980s New Teen Titans comic book, Cyborg represented another instance of trying to get some diversity into the mix, but this time using an actual, pre-existing character. (It wasn't until 2011, following the line-wide "New 52" comic reboot that Cyborg joined the comic book Justice League.)
The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians managed eight episodes, running through September of '86, and then it really was the end, with both the show and the toyline folding right around the same time. I'm not sure what the reasons were for the toys going away, but it was a shame all the same. They were ahead of their time, and they went before their time. The Super Powers Collection understandably remains a cultural touchstone for a great many people who came of age with it. Superman would return to animation in 1988, and Batman in 1992, but the next time the entire Justice League reunited on TV wouldn't be until 2001. Maybe I'll talk about that one of these days.

NEWSLETTER COMPETITION I 4th Quarter 2014 I National Highlights 2 II European Highlights 3
I NATIONAL HIGHLITHS Portuguese Competition Authority Competition Authority publishes Priorities of the competition policy for 2015 On 30 December 2014, pursuant to Article 7(3) of Law Nr 19/2012, of 8 May ("Competition Law"), the PCA published its priorities for the competition policy for 2015. In 2015, the fight against cartels will continue to be one of the PCA's enforcement priorities, in particular the fight against concerted practices in the public procurement sector, as these practices cause significant harm to the country and to the taxpayers, and also reduce the trust in the adoption of competitive public procurement proceedings, the economy losing the benefits of competitive markets. The leniency regime will continue to be main instrument for the identification of serious infringements to the competitions rules, and the enhancement of its regime is expected to increase with the issuance of final decisions in proceedings currently under investigation by the PCA, through the imposition of fines with a sufficient deterrent effect. For its fight against concerted practices in the public procurement sector, measures to be adopted by the PCA will include the exploration of databases in order to identify existing concerted practices; the improvement of the relationship with the Institute of Construction and Real Estate (Instituto da Construção e do Imobiliário) and the Court of Auditors (Tribunal de Contas); and the collaboration with public contracting authorities, providing them with the tools necessary for the detection of situations likely to infringe competition law. Another priority of the PCA will be the detection of vertical restraints included in agreements between companies at different levels of the value chain. The PCA will continue to promote the use of the settlement regime and to closing cases with commitment decisions, thus ensuring a quicker intervention in the proceedings. Under its powers of supervision, the PCA will continue to monitor the sectors of energy and telecommunications. Portuguese Competition Authority Competition Authority launches two public consultations on commitments WWW.CUATRECASAS.COM NEWSLETTER I COMPETITION 3/7 In December 2014, the PCA launched, for the first time, two public consultations regarding the commitments offered by two companies under investigation in two infringement proceedings before the PCA. In a press release dated 17 December 2014, the PCA announced it had launched a public consultation on the commitments offered by Group Controlinveste Media ("Group CIM"), in the context of an infringement proceedings, opened in April 2013, regarding the agreement for the concession of the broadcasting television and multimedia rights of the matches of the first and second national league, entered into between football clubs and Group CIM. According to the PCA, the agreement is likely to have a foreclosure effect on the market, due to, in particular, the duration of the exclusivity clause of the agreement and the granting of a right of preference to Group CIM in the negotiation of a new agreement. Group CIM commits, inter alia, not to include, in future agreements exclusivity clauses with a duration of more than three years and to renounce to its right of preference. On 30 December 2014, the PCA launched a public consultation on the commitments presented by Peugeot Portugal Automóveis, within the infringement proceedings, initiated in June 2013, regarding a guarantee extension agreement, which prevented the consumers to repair their vehicles in independent repairers, in order not to lose the right to the manufacturer's guarantee. The commitments include the explicit reference in all contracts that the benefit of the guarantee is not conditional to the realization of maintenance and repair operations in the Peugeot's Official Network. Pursuant to the Competition Act, the PCA notifies the companies under investigation of its Preliminary Appreciation of the Facts, where it provides the companies with the opportunity for the submission of commitments that are likely to eliminate the effects on competition arising from the practices at issue. The PCA is responsible to monitor the compliance of the commitments, which is mandatory for the company who offered the commitments. These public consultations launched, for the first time, by the PCA are one of the several procedural novelties introduced by the Competition Act. The public consultation, set out in Article 23(2) of the Competition Act, allows the interested parties to submit their observations to the commitments presented, in a period of no less than 20 working days. II EUROPEAN HIGHLIGHTS European Legislation Directive on damages actions under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions was published in the Official JournalWWW.CUATRECASAS.COM NEWSLETTER I COMPETITION 4/7 The Directive on actions for damages under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions, also known as the Private Enforcement Directive ("Directive"), was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5 December 2014. The Directive aims to facilitate actions for damages, by the citizens and companies harmed by competition infringements. Although the right for all victims of competition infringements to claim compensation for the harm suffered has been a principle recognized by the European Court of Justice since 2001 (judgment of 20 September of 1999, Case C-453/99 - Courage c. Crehan), such actions for damages are still under developed in the European Union, as they represent excessive costs for the applicants and because there is no harmonization of the procedural rules between the Member States. With the adoption of the Directive, the European legislator intended to promote the elimination of the procedural difficulties that impede an effective compensation for the infringements to articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU") (and the corresponding national provisions), harmonizing the procedural rules between Member States. The rules that are now harmonized at the European level include the following: Damage compensation Any natural or legal person who has suffered harm caused by an infringement of competition law is able to claim and to obtain full compensation for that harm, which covers the right to compensation for actual loss and for loss of profit, plus the payment of interest. The Directive establishes the rebuttable presumption that cartel infringements cause harm. The infringer has the right to demonstrate that the infringement did not cause harm. The European legislator also intended to ensure that the standard of proof required for the quantification of harm does not render the exercise of the right to damages practically impossible or excessively difficult. In that sense, whenever it is practically impossible or excessively difficult precisely to quantify the harm suffered on the basis of the evidence available, national courts are empowered to estimate the amount of harm if it is established that a claimant suffered harm. Access to evidence In principle, all documents should be available for disclosure, except for leniency statements and settlement submissions, these documents would never be accessible. Exchanges and documents between the competition authority and the party should only become available after the authority's final decision. Confidential information and business secrets will be duly protected. WWW.CUATRECASAS.COM NEWSLETTER I COMPETITION 5/7 Access to evidence would be primarily done through court orders. The national court will have to ensure that disclosure orders are proportional, balancing the legitimate interests of all the parties and third parties, in favor and against access evidence. This is in line with the TJEU case law on this matter (see Judgment of 6.06.2013, in Case C-536/11 – Bundeswettbewerbsbehörde v. Donau Chemie and others). Disclosure of evidence Upon request of a claimant, national courts are able to order the defendant, a third party or, in case of necessity, a competition authority to disclose relevant evidence which lies in their control. The claimant's request must present a reasoned justification containing reasonably available facts and evidence sufficient to support the plausibility of its claim for damages. In any case, national courts shall not order the disclosure of leniency statements and settlements proposals. Probative value of the decisions of competition authorities Infringements of competition law found by a final decision of a national competition authority or by a review court are deemed to be irrefutably established for the purposes of an action for damages brought before their national courts, thus binding the national courts. In damages action before the national courts of other Member States, such final decisions will be presented as at least prima facie evidence that an infringement of competition law has occurred. Joint and several liability When the infringement is the result of a behavior adopted by several companies, these companies will be jointly and severally liable for the harm in full caused by the infringement of competition law, and the injured party has the right to require full compensation from any of them until he has been fully compensated. Under the Directive, an infringer may recover a contribution from any other infringer, the amount of which shall be determined in the light of their relative responsibility for the harm caused by the infringement of competition law. The Directive limits, however, the contribution of the successful immunity applicants, in the context of the leniency regime, who will only be responsible for the harm caused to their direct and indirect purchasers and providers. Passing-on defence According to the Directive, Member States shall ensure that compensation of harm can be claimed by anyone who suffered it (direct or indirect purchasers from an infringer), and that compensation of harm exceeding that caused by the infringement of competition law to the claimant, as well as the absence of liability of the infringer, are avoided. Limitation periods The limitation periods for bringing actions for damages must be at least five years. The limitation period is suspended whenever a competition authority takes action for the WWW.CUATRECASAS.COM NEWSLETTER I COMPETITION 6/7 purpose of the investigation of an infringement of competition law to which the action for damages relates. In such cases, the victims will have one year after the infringement decision has become final or after the proceedings are otherwise terminated to bring actions for damages. The limitation period is also suspended for the duration of any consensual dispute resolution process. Limitation periods shall not begin to run before the infringement of competition law has ceased and the claimant knows, or can reasonably be expected to know, of the behavior that constitutes an infringement of competition law, of the fact that the infringement of competition law caused harm and the identity of the infringer. Transposition of the Directive The Directive entered into force in 27 December 2014. Member States have two years from the date of the entry into force of the Directive to implement it. The important rules introduced in the Directive are expected to enhance the actions for damages by those harmed by infringements to European and national competition rules. Court of Justice of the European Union Order of the Court of Justice, of 4 December 2014 (Case C-384/13) Estación de Servicio Pozuelo 4 SL c. Galp Energía España SAL Long-term exclusivity clauses in distribution agreements On 4 December 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") handed down its Order in Case C-384/13, regarding compliance with competition law of long-term exclusive purchasing clauses in distribution agreements. The Order, following a preliminary ruling request a Spanish civil court, regarded the supply agreement between Galp Energia España, an oil supplier, and Estación de Servicio Pozuelo, a gas station operator, which included a single branding clause on the basis of which the gas station operator was bound to exclusively purchase oil products from Galp for at least 30 years. The CJEU started to note that, although exclusive purchasing clauses may not have the object to restrict competition, it is nevertheless necessary to ascertain whether such clauses have the effect of restricting competition under article 101 of the TFEU. The assessment of the effects of exclusive purchasing clauses should take into account the legal and economic context, including similar contracts in the relevant market. If the market is not easily accessible as a result of a cumulation of long-term exclusivity clauses in the relevant market, it should be assessed the extent of the contribution of the contract at stake to this foreclosure effect, taking into consideration, in particular, the market position of the contract parties and the duration of the exclusivity. WWW.CUATRECASAS.COM NEWSLETTER I COMPETITION 7/7 The CJEU added that, as Galp's market share was only 3%, it would be contrary to the purpose of free competition to declare a long-term exclusivity clause void, which would make it more difficult for GALP to penetrate the market, thus favoring the other players with stronger market positions (in fact, three competitors were responsible for 70% of the Spanish market). The CJEU concluded that long-term exclusivity clauses may not have the effect of restricting competition, and will not, in principle, be in violation of Article 101 of the TFEU when the parties to the agreement have a limited market share and the duration of the exclusivity clause is not manifestly excessive of what is common in the relevant market (what is manifestly excessive is to be decided by the referring court). This Order gives important guidance on exclusive purchasing clauses, confirming that such clauses with a duration that extends beyond the five year exemption for parties with a market share of 30% or less under Article 5 of the Block Exemption Regulation for vertical agreements (Regulation 330/2010) may still comply with competition law. In such situations, national courts must undertake an effects based approach, considering particularly the market position and relative duration of the clauses in the market context.

It's the year 2077 and Earth has been decimated by a nuclear war with alien invaders known as the Scavs. Maverick pilot Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) must defend Earth's remaining hydrogen processors against alien raiders. Or must he? The season's first sci-fi mind-bender, Oblivion is a big-league popcorn movie that delivers dazzling visuals, thundering sound and a generous array of action scenes. It's the kind of movie you want to see on the big screen if you're going to see it at all. I crunched the numbers and by my estimation, Oblivion is around 75 percent inspired sci-fi fun and 25 percent ridiculous Tom Cruise preening. That's a ratio I can live with. Also watch for several Top Gun in-jokes, which are presumably intentional.
Official Site: www.oblivionmovie.com
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Writer: Joseph Kosinski, William Monahan, Karl Gajdusek and Michael Arndt
Producer: Joseph Kosinski, Peter Chernin, Dylan Clark, Barry Levine and Duncan Henderson
Cast: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Melissa Leo
Sorry there are no upcoming showtimes for Oblivion

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I had the best sex I've had in a while recently. It was good sex. It went on for a while. It was out-of-your-body yum yum forget your name type sex.
That's the kind of sex that I like.
I haven't had sex like that in a while. I don't have a lot of time for sex nowadays. Sex is just not that important to me because I have a lot of deadlines so when I am triaging, sex often gets kicked to the bottom of the list.
Also, I don't want to have sex with the majority of people.
Here are the people who I do not want to have sex with:
So that's that.
When I do have good sex, my brain is a lot more clear. I love that. It also gives me hope that it is feasible to have good sex somewhere in the world or the universe and that as a consequence all manner of achievement for humankind is possible. Because when I have bad sex or I don't have sex or I don't want to have sex because I don't have the right partner (the majority of the time), I lose hope. My brain starts justifying like, eh, sex really isn't that great. Why do I think sex is so great anyway? Sex isn't that great. There is no meaning to life. I should just move to Alaska.
But when I have incredible sex, I'm reminded of all the good and fireworks and eventualities in the world and that all of mankind will eventually come together someday in peace and harmony and joy -- at last, finally, synchronized and harmonized as one.
It's also fun to have the very filthy nihilistic kind of sex that is akin to a good boxing match with someone who you feel safe with and who respects and likes you so you can just kind of go to town without being worried later that they will be some dumbass who thinks they can then treat you like crap and that you will like it just because you are a sub in bed.
I like that, and it is rare to find something where you feel just fully refreshed afterward. It's rad.
I also have two different kinds of orgasms -- one is just a kind of physical something-something release. The other is a total release where all time and space ceases to exist and your entire body relaxes. The second one I would liken to gymnastics, where once you first achieve the backward handspring, you suddenly know that it is something you can achieve and then it is easier to achieve, again and again. I hadn't had the second kind in quite some time. So being reminded that I am capable of the elusive backward handspring offers a specific kind of life-affirming rush.
Am I alone in this very deep and earth-shattering sentiment? Are you happier when you're having sex? When was the last time you had good sex? Do you know what I mean about the whole two different kinds of orgasm thing? One being more superficial and robotic and the other one being like a release to all purgatory within your soul? Also: What kind of men or women are on your "no" list and why? TELL ME.

Rocket City Space Pioneers Enter $30 Million Google Lunar XPRIZE Competition
Huntsville, AL (September 07, 2010) — Today, the Rocket City Space Pioneers - a group of Huntsville businesses, educational institutions and non-profit organizations - announced their official entry into the Google Lunar XPRIZE, a $30 million competition that challenges space professionals and engineers from across the globe to build and launch to the Moon a privately funded spacecraft capable of completing a series of exploration and transmission tasks. Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, Team Rocket City Space Pioneers is comprised of seven organizations and is among twenty-three teams from a dozen countries that are registered in the competition.
The Rocket City Space Pioneers, led by Huntsville-based company Dynetics and comprised of Huntsville partners Teledyne Brown Engineering, Andrews Space, Spaceflight Services, Draper Laboratory, the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the Von Braun Center for Science & Innovation, will compete for the Google Lunar XPRIZE with their lunar lander. Leading the team is Tim Pickens, Dynetics' chief propulsion engineer. No stranger to space competition, Pickens was also the lead propulsion engineer for the $10 million Ansari XPRIZE winning SpaceShipOne team.
"We have hand-selected a Huntsville-centric, winning team for the Google Lunar XPRIZE that has the excitement, experience and capability to produce a successful technical solution and, more importantly, a business case to make this endeavor a viable solution," Pickens said. "Having participated on a winning XPRIZE team, I appreciate the gravity and benefits of such a technically challenging endeavor. The Ansari XPRIZE jump-started commercial space and an entrepreneurial spirit throughout the country and created opportunities for further innovation and commercialization."
The Rocket City Space Pioneers are developing a low-cost lunar lander/rover system for conducting commercial and scientific missions on the Moon and potentially other planetary bodies. The lander/rover system is capable of making a soft landing on a planetary body and deploying a rover measuring approximately 30x30x15 centimeters and weighing less than 10 kilograms.
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said, "We're fortunate to have some of the best and brightest minds in the country here in the Rocket City. With this community's technical aptitude and strong impact on space exploration, it is imperative that we take advantage of opportunities such as the Google Lunar XPRIZE. I have confidence this team will make our city proud."
Alabama Senator Richard Shelby said, "Huntsville has a proud history as the rocket capital of the world and remains on the cutting edge of new space technology. I am confident this contingent will represent Huntsville's tradition and prominence in space exploration well, and I wish the team the best of luck in the competition."
Dr. Marc Bendickson, Dynetics CEO, said, "We are excited to bring together such a qualified team. Dynetics' experience and capabilities plus our partners' outstanding past performance histories equals an unbeatable combination for producing an outstanding product."
"We are extremely excited to welcome the Rocket City Space Pioneers in to the Google Lunar XPRIZE," said William Pomerantz, Senior Director for Space Prizes at the XPRIZE Foundation. "This team can draw on decades of impressive aerospace achievements, and their team leader is a proven winner. They are entering the competition with a great deal of momentum."

The $30 million Google Lunar XPRIZE is an unprecedented competition to challenge and inspire engineers and entrepreneurs from around the world to develop low-cost methods of robotic space exploration. To win the Google Lunar XPRIZE, a privately-funded team must successfully place a robot on the Moon's surface that explores at least 500 meters (1/3 of a mile) and transmits high definition video and images back to Earth. The first team to do so will claim a $20 million Grand Prize, while the second team will earn a $5 million Prize. Teams are also eligible to win a $1 million award for stimulating diversity in the field of space exploration and as much as $4 million in bonus prizes for accomplishing additional technical tasks such as moving ten times as far, surviving the frigid lunar night, or visiting the site of a previous lunar mission. To date, more than 20 teams from a dozen countries around the world have registered to compete for the prize. The Google Lunar XPRIZE is available to be claimed until the end of the year 2015.
Founded in 1995, the XPRIZE Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization solving the world's Grand Challenges by creating and managing large-scale, high-profile, incentivized prize competitions that stimulate investment in research and development worth far more than the prize itself.
