Here's Tina Fey As Audrey Hepburn On The Cover Of Entertainment Weekly
Tina Fey, brilliant person and amazing writer, has worked up an unfortunate track record of reliably awkward magazine covers. For example. No, seriously. However, while watching the genuinely dreadful Emmy Awards ceremony last weekend, we were struck by how Fey looked so confident and relaxed (and beautiful!), because her usual red carpet appearances are plagued by the same kind of stiffness and visible discomfort as those magazine covers (which aren't all completely bad, either). This is in no way a judgment of Fey–if we had to walk red carpets in skintight dresses while hundreds of strangers photographed us from every angle, our heart would explode from panic.
Anyway. In line with that Emmys look is Fey's new Entertainment Weekly cover, featuring her all dressed up as uptown callgirl Holly Golightly–made famous, of course, by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
We think the cover is still a little awkward–somewhere in between the new look Fey displayed at the Emmys and before–but it sounds like the makeover is intentional: a sign of things to come on the final season of Fey's great sitcom 30 Rock. She tells EW that her neurotic, stress-ridden protagonist Liz Lemon will undergo a "sexual awakening" (and also that Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy will have a Skype conversation with Ann Romney's dressage horse Rafalca).
Also, everyone's in favor of a Mean Girls musical, right?

Radon Resistant New Construction
If you plan to build a new home, plan to build it radon-resistant. It is much safer for your family and far more cost-effective to prevent radon from becoming a problem. Radon-resistant construction combines common building techniques and materials to seal entry points and route the gases outdoors, helping to prevent radon from entering the home.
Is there a way to test the soil before building?
Testing the soil prior to building cannot predict what the radon levels will be once the house is completed. The impact that the site preparation will have on introducing radon pathways into the home, and the extent or affect air pressure will have in the finished home, can affect radon levels and your exposure.
Are there different types of systems?
There are two types of systems:
- Passive system is a minimal approach to radon reduction that relies on the convective flow of air upward in a vent pipe to exhaust the radon gas. The State Building Code only requires a "passive" system be installed. However, a fan may need to be added at a later date if radon levels are still high.
- Active system, gold standard, offers maximum radon reduction through the use of a fan that continuously pulls radon-laden air from the soil and exhausts it outdoors. The active system can make a big difference in reducing radon exposure. Minnesota contractors are required to install an active system in order for their home to receive the Gold Standard designation.
Features of radon-resistant construction
- Electrical junction box - An electrical junction box is roughed in the attic near the vent pipe. This power supply will be ready to use if the radon control system needs to be "activated" in the future.
- Aggregate - Four inches of clean aggregate is spread under all areas within the home's walls that will be covered by concrete slabs. Soil-gas collection mats or drainage mats can also be used.
- Vent pipe - The vent pipe runs vertically through the roof, directing the soil gases to the outdoors. The vent pipe is a 3 to 4 inch diameter PVC pipe that is connected to the "T" in the aggregate. If the home has a sump pit or drain-tile system, the vent pipe can be inserted directly into the sump pit or connected to the drain-tile loop.
- Roof flashing - Flashing must be installed around the vent pipe where it exits the roof to prevent leakage.
- Sealing - All potential soil gas entry points are sealed with caulk or expanding foam. Sump baskets must have sealed cover.
- Vent pipe "T" - A "T" fitting made of 3 to 4 inch diameter PVC pipe is inserted into the aggregate under the basement slab, or under a crawl space's vapor barrier. The "T" pipe allows soil gases to enter with little resistance, and connects to the main vent pipe.
- Soil-gas retard er - To help keep water/moisture in concrete so that it fully cures with minimum cracking. 6 mil thick polyethylene sheeting, over lapped 12 inches at the seams, and fitted closely around all penetrations, is placed over the aggregate. In crawl spaces, the sheeting is sealed to the foundation walls and interior piers.
What are the benefits of building a radon-resistant home?
It reduces your risk of lung cancer. People who live in a radon-resistant home will breathe in less radon. The less radon you are exposed to, the lower your risk of lung cancer.
System components are incorporated into the building design. When radon-resistant features are part of the design, they can easily be hidden from view. This may be possible if a radon mitigation system has to be added at a later date, after the house is finished.
It may add value when you sell. Potential buyers should be reassured when a home is built radon-resistant. Informed shoppers will view this as a positive feature in the Minnesota housing market.
What should I do if the radon level in my new home is high?
If unacceptable radon levels are present, and the home has a passive radon system in place, it can be upgraded to an active system by adding and activating an in-line radon fan. Typically a monitor device is also installed with an active system.
|In-line Radon Fan - The fan is wired into the electrical junction box that was roughed in. This pulls radon and other soil gases from beneath the home and exhausts them to the outdoors.
Monitor Device - A system failure warning device should also be installed to alert you if the system malfunctions. The most common warning device is a u-tube. A u-tube visually indicates whether or not the fan is running.

A brighter future is in store for Norwich Puppet Theatre
When leading puppetry company Indefinite Articles and reputed puppeteer Peter O'Rourke bring The Chalk Giants to the venue for a two-week pre-Edinburgh run in July, it will be the first of two brand new productions at Norwich Puppet Theatre. But what's the big fuss about it?
One of only two theatres in England dedicated to puppetry, the Theatre has allowed hundreds of puppetry professionals to develop their art and skills in devising, directing and performing puppet theatre in Norwich since opening in 1980.
Many of them have gone on to become some of the leading names in the puppetry community, with hundreds of performances reaching audiences across the world.
Billy Goats Gruff visit in August 2010
Until the recession the Puppet Theatre was on a somewhat upward, though shaky trend. 2008 core funding cuts, however, literally brought things to the boil.
"We realised we had to prioritise and what shot high up our list was to preserve the building," says Ian Woods, the General Manager at the Theatre who has been in the thick of the puppet world for more than 20 years.
From clairvoyance and ghost events to Christmas carols and family celebrations at the venue, Woods has witnessed a historic gem grow and evolve. Together with the trustees, he had to decide whether to keep going or shut the doors.
The Theatre decided to take action in 2008
"The Theatre is equipped with everything needed for performance and provides a friendly atmosphere where visitors could unravel the craft of puppetry at an evening class," he reflects. "So we opted to go for funding."
It didn't turn out pretty. In fact, it got a bit ridiculous, but the team always persisted. A series of repeat applications highlighted the capability of the building and the opportunity for nurturing fresh talent. Eventually, the message came across.
"I think we managed to open sponsors' eyes and make them believe we can get this creative energy going," points out Nic Hopkins, the enthusiastic Chair of the Board at the Theatre.
The Lost Forest is at the Theatre tomorrow (July 3 2010). Visit the show online for details
"Everyone's going through a difficult time, so building a flexible team and a strong relationship with local artists has become our overall objective."
Their reward was a £60,000 Arts Council grant in support of their vision for the future, but the charity still faces challenges.
"We believe it marks the beginning of a new chapter at the Norwich Puppet Theatre," says Hopkins, who is now overseeing a programme designed by an ambitious team with a wide range of educational activities.
Puppet Workshops are a regular crowd pleaser
The grant is also a chance to re-establish Norwich as a centre for puppetry excellence, with The Chalk Giants marking a major step along this road.
A world of magic and mystery embellished with chalk drawings, light and shadow puppetry, it showcases Guyanese-born John Agard's gift for writing and the impeccable music taste of Jonathan Lambert.
What makes the story even more engaging is the effort which local people and schools have invested in developing it.
Features of Norwich's real and legendary landscape find spots in the project through improvised storytelling about local Suffolk myths.
This year also sees the 30th anniversary of the Theatre, kicking off with a special exhibition at Norwich's Forum and a week of parties, glove puppet auctions and events at the end of November 2010.
For Woods and his team, the latest instalment is just the start of another 30 years of adventure.

Free Wifi and Refill at Bulalo Bah Restaurant, Tanay, Rizal
At least once a month, Tutubi comes home to his hometown Paete, Laguna via Rizal province that's why he's tried most restaurants in Rizal you can see along the national highway and Manila East Road that connects east Metro manila to the provinces of Rizal and Laguna.
One of these restaurants is quite new in the area, not actually what you call a restaurant but an eatery turo-turo style yet it has free wifi Internet and free refill of hot sabaw of their specially evident on their name: Bulalo Bah
Bulalo Bah's version of bulalo is more on the meaty side instead of "utak" (bone marrow) and litid (tendons) but the subtle taste of Tutubi's favorite comfort food is there.
Tutubi has been to this eatery twice already when he's looking for "fast food" at budget-friendly price. The restaurant/eatery serves at least four dishes in addition to bulalo like adobo, giniling and some bicolano cuisine e.g. kinunot na pagi (stingray in coconut milk), and laing. Budget per person is just about PhP100.00 up where you can order a bowl of bulalo, two viands, rice and a bottle of coke.
Looking for Bulalo Bah? click here for online map via OpenStreetmap (partly maintained by Tutubi) of Tanay, Rizal a few hundred meters away from Sampaloc junction and just a few meters from Kata Cafe.
Laslt this may be a simple Frugal Food Find but Bulalo Bah has an official Facebook page and Twitter account :P
Do contact them there
as always, this is not a sponsored post. Tutubi paid for his bills the two times he visited the place.
will also add GPS coordinates later so you won't get lost if you're direction-challenged person :P

After posting some help requests here the past few days, I have decided to stop the insanity and just format my PC's and install XP altogether. Don't get me wrong, your help was invaluable, but my problems keep arising. I have 2 PC's with problems, so I am going to discuss each seperately.
PC1: I want to format the computer and re-install windows XP altogether. Problem is (and this is why I want to format the PC together with the random rebooting) that when windows starts, there is a error message that says "can't open event logger" and only the wallpaper opens up with no desktop icons or taskbar/startmenu. I can open programs via Taskmanager, but how do I get to where I can choose to "Format PC" or Format C drive so that I can re-install?
PC2: This one is in a worse state: I cant access windows XP whatsoever, only Recovery Console. When choosing "r" in recovery console, I can't get past the admin password, even if I leave it blank. (I used to get past it by leaving it blank, but after accidently typing a value in there that I can still remember, it wont accept either that or a blank space) . I know that by choosing the first option in the recovery console you can reinstall or repair windows, but will it work if I use a Windows XP Professional CD if I currently have Windows XP Home running on the PC? If the state of PC2 is a no-hoper, do you suggest taking it to IT specialists/technicians to repair?
Thanks, hope this is the last you here from me, but dudes, I need help!!!

Al-Hijrah School - Feb 13
'This week and last week, Al-Hijrah School year 11 girls and boys respectively visited the Physics Factory for a day's master class on Radioactivity. As well as demonstrating the properties of nuclear radiation, the day included modelling Beqerel's discovery, demonstrating random processes using pop corn and 'skittles', modelling ionisation and penetration as radiation travels through matter, modelling half-lives using dice and much more. The final session of the day was dedicated to 'Fun with Physics', involving the hoverboard, invisible test tubes, mixing light, separating white light into its colours and viewing the emission spectra of Hydrogen. One student remarked at the end that they couldn't believe how fast the day had gone and how much they'd learnt.'

John Orchard (Vice-Chair of Governors at Bartley Green School) - Thursday 1st November 2012
As part of a day in Bartley Green School visiting the science department and seeing it at work I spent part of the morning at the Physics Factory at King Edward VI Five Ways School with a group of our Year 11 students. I had demonstrated to me that "Physics is Fun!" as well as being very a very important subject with far reaching implications for understanding our natural world.
I was very impressed with the interest and enthusiasm shown by Bartley Green pupils for physics and the fact that some of them want to apply to King Edward's to study A Level physics.
I am very grateful to King Edward's for providing the opportunity for our pupils to develop an interest in physics

New Physics Factory Ambassadors - 4th October 2012
We are pleased to announce the appointment of 14 new Physics Factory Ambassadors.
Last year's ambassadors made a real difference to the young people, teachers and VIPs using the Physics Factory. They spoke to them about studying Physics and how the Physics Factory benefits pupils who do not otherwise have a Physics specialist teaching them. They also helped non-specialist and specialist teachers alike appreciate practical ideas for making Physics relevant and fun. It was wonderful to watch these young people grow in confidence and knowledge through our ambassador initiative. Our four 2010-2011 ambassadors started university courses this September 2012 in Physics, Aeronautical engineering, Microbiology and Oceanography and we wish them every success.
Our new Ambassadors will be joining in with Physics Factory classes shortly - describing what A-level physics is like, why students may want to opt for it, encouraging more girls to continue with Physics beyond GCSE, as well as helping pupils with experiments and explaining aspects of Physics. If last year is anything to go by, their close hands-on help will really make a difference both to some of our students and practising teachers.

HUMOR!!!! I decied to write this a while back and now im posting it.. lets see if this gets reviews
Math Apps boring boring boring..... Did I mention how boring it is? Anyway I was bored. I opened my notebook only to hear my name being called to the office.
"Laters peeps!" I said and did a two fingered salute and put my stuff up and went to my locker and rushed down stairs.
"Tai Tai" my cousins voice said behind me. I turned.
"KATY!" I said and put her into a death hug, "Why aren't you in school?"
"Beats me. Dude in suits came and checked me out" She said.
"So what do we do know?"
"Limo outside waiting for us"
"Cool they better have something to drink" I said as we walked outside and climbed into the sleak black limo. A man with black sunglasses was in the back seat. I felt Kate shiver under his glances at us. I glared at him and took my cousins hand.
"What do you want?" I said making sure my voice was laced with vemon. It didn't make him cringe like most people did.
"Good luck with that. I screammed my heart out on the way here" Katy said. I reached into my back pack and pulled out my phone and a hand buzzer and put it on.
"What are you doing Tai?"
"Working" said and took my phone battery out and connected the buzzer with my battery (I ain't telling you!) And amplified the charge.
"You'll talk of end up extra crispy" I said holding out my hand. He glanced at me and sighed.
"Kids today so imatant" He said.
"Yeah yeah. I ask again nicely. WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" I screamed and Kate covered her ears. The man wicned.
"The buzzer is gonna hurt more trust me pal" I said.
"We want you to..." I thought the worst.
"Spy" he said.
"No way- Say WHAT!?" I shrieked Kate bounced in her seat.
"No one would expect you." he said.
"Have you see the insides of our heads?" I asked.
"One condition." Kate said.
"I want wings" She said and crossed her arms. I face palmed.
"What about you?" He asked me. So many things rushed into my head.
"We can't get rid of your parents taxes"
"Damn.... I don't want anything" I said and took the buzzer off.
"She wants wings too. And cat ears and tail to pop out of her head when she gets excited"
"No I don't want wings" I said through clenched teeth.
"Oh yeah no wings" Kate said. I glared at her as the man pulled out a scanner and scanned us. I felt different almost cat like. I shrugged and Kate sprouted wings.
"COOL!!" She yelled and flexed them. I looked for a tail or something.
"It didn't work" I said," So dude what do you want us to do?"
"Spy on Japan"
"Cool Manga and Anime!" I did my fan girl squeal imagining Hayate and Ikuto happlily. Kate waved her hand infront of my face.
"She's gone" she said. By know I think I was drooling. Kate pushed me.
"I'm alive!" I said and threw my hands up. A table popped out of the floor.
"You'll need the jet bag" He said throwing a indigo bag at me. I slung it over my sholder.
"Ice spray" he said and Kate being Kate picked it up and sprayed her self with it thus freezing herself.
"Kate!" I said and clawed at the thin sheet of ice.
"That is so..... COOL!!" she yelled shivering.
"Bomb gum. You chew it stick it on something and it makes a small explostion."
"Cool" I said. He named a few more gadjets and gave them to me.
"How come she gets all the stuff?" Kate asked.
"I have the bag smart one" I said and the limo stopped. The door openned and awated us were our parents.
"MOM!!" Katy yelled and hugged her mom (i.e. her parents split.. She doesn't claim her father any more)
"Momma, Dad!" Yelled and hugged my parents.
"Hi honey" My mom said and we boarded a plane.
"You know were spys?" I asked. My dad nodded.
"We know you'll be fine. Just send a text once in a while." He said and hugged me.
"I will." I said.
"Girls come here" Suit man said. I stood and walked to the room he pointed to.
"We have names" I hissed and entered the room with my cousin. A woman pressed on a button and the door closed.
"Hello girls." She said and smiled.
"Hello" We said inunison.
"I am going to scan you and then you will know how to speak Japanise in seconds" She said and pressed another button. A warm beam shined into us and I felt different.
"I also added martial arts"
"Sweet" I said and I gave Kate a thumbs up.
"There ready" The woman said and the floor disapeared from our feet leaving us falling. Kate used her wings and glided around diving.
"STUPID BAG!!" I said and tryed to activate it.
"Gotcha!" Kate yelled and grabbed my arms hauling me up.
"Stupid bag" I said.
"Hey look we can land soon" Kate said and I looked to see Japan islands.
"Amine and manga here I come!"
"If you start drooling I'm going to drop you!!"
"Fine then!"
Haha that sucked so.... review... This if for my cousin cause we wanna be spys LOL YAY!!!!! Love ya Katie buggy!!! Okay i won't call you that no mores lol love yas kate lol

The organs are separated throughout the vast space, and the fourth 'organ' is a 21st century midi controller/laptop instrument, amplified through 6 speakers surrounding the audience in the middle of the church – original digital instruments were designed for this concert using the software Reason. For the premiere, I had recruited 12 wind players, who were divided equally among four quadrants of the church, always out of sight of the audience.
Requiring no conductor, the music is chiefly a structured improvisation and aleatoric. The sound tapestry created by all players provides a soft backdrop for the central focus: a notorious, spoken rant recording made by Jim Roche in the 1970's. Roche sometimes spoke in blues scales, influenced by the speech patterns of Southern Baptist preachers, and the scales played by the instrumentalists and samples provide a unique accompaniment to his voice. The instructions given to the wind players are simple and allow for musical freedom and improvisation. The organ scores are more structured, with specific registrations and cells of musical material, but also allow freedom for improvisation. The organ cells were organized using a type of formal grammar called L-systems. Originally developed to predict the growth of algae and other microbe colonies, L-systems allow us to analyse and recreate recursive growth patterns, a process that is fundamental to the growth of organic structures, including all life on earth. L-systems consist of an alphabet (a set of symbols), an axiom (a string of symbols from the alphabet), and production rules (rules assigned to each letter of the alphabet). Any kind of musical idea can be used as symbols and mapped onto the grammar. This is a powerful compositional tool as there are literally infinite musical possibilities (due to its potential for recursion). The original L-system for algae growth was used to generate the three organ scores, an allusion to Roche's life in the Floridian swamps. Three organists play four generations of growth each, making a total of the twelve generations spanning the genetic lineage between Sweelinck and Roche. Meanwhile, the wind players play an ascending and descending hexachord, an allusion to Sweelinck's Hexachord Fantasy. This piece was commissioned by the Oude Kerk and performed in a concert celebrating Sweelinck and new music on the evening of November 10, 2007.

From London, England:
My sister has had diabetes for over 10 years, and is taking insulin. Her hand is dry, bumpy, and feels as if the nerve ends are exposed.It is extremely painful, and she can't use the hand. Why?
It sounds as if this is only one hand and not both. Although nerve complications [neuropathy] from diabetes can involve only one hand, it is more common to have both involved with diabetes. It sounds like she needs more evaluation to look for the cause. It is unclear to me what the cause would be. Please have her see a physician for further care.

Off late Ekta Kapoor is truly making some 'kick-ass' cinema.
It started with 'Shootout at Lokhandwala, then went to 'Love, Sex Aur Dhokha', 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai', 'Shor In The City' and now it's the turn of 'Ragini MMS'.
Will the 'most talked about' ( rather seen ) clip of the nation become the most watched film as well?
Our in-house expert and noted astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi predicts for us :
"The title 'RAGINI MMS' adds up to Number 24 – this octave of Number 6 is a fortunate number. It promises assistance and association of those of rank and position with one's plans and denotes gain through love and the opposite sex. It is a favourable number when it comes out in relation to future events," explains Bhavikk.
"Well, the vibrations are 'just right' for this kind of a film and looks like it will sail through quite safely," predicts Bhavikk.
He continues,"Also, the year 2011 which adds up to Number 4 ( Rahu ) is proving lucky for most Number 1, 2, 4 and 7 people, places, dates etc. and Ekta fits in to this bracket 'perfectly' ( 7th June 1975 ). Also the release date is set for Friday – the 13th which will only work in her stride".
" Seems like someone's going through an awesome (read 'threesome') phase currently and having some real fun in life," signs off Bhavikk on a seductive note.

India is making huge strides in the field of science. We are leader in IT industry and are also pioneering in fields like satellite launching.
At such juncture the last thing that our media should be doing is to promote superstitions like numerology. Of course I am not saying that numerology does not work… it works.. but only for numerologist.
BookMyShow is avidly used by educated youths and therefore I request bookmyshow to not to post "reviews" from such persons.
in peace,
It's spooky how cleevr some ppl are. Thanks!
AFAIC that's the best asnwer so far!

The FCA and HM Treasury have, in August 2015, launched a major review of the financial advice market. Labelled the Financial Advice Market Review, it will examine how financial advice (considered in its broadest sense) could work better for consumers and will consider, among other areas, how to improve access to financial advice for less wealthy consumers.
The review will examine all types of retail financial products including pensions, savings, mortgages, and insurance.
The review will examine:
- the advice gap for those people who want to "work hard, do the right thing and get on in life but do not have significant wealth";
- the regulatory or other barriers firms may face in giving advice and how to overcome them;
- how to give firms the regulatory clarity and create the right environment for them to innovate and grow;
- the opportunities and challenges presented by new and emerging technologies to provide cost effective, efficient and user friendly advice services; and
- how to encourage a healthy demand side for financial advice, including addressing barriers which put consumers off seeking advice.
The FCA and HM Treasury will report before the 2016 Budget and will seek to outline a package of reforms to empower and equip all UK consumers to make effective decisions about their finances within a regulatory environment that gives firms the necessary clarity to allow them to compete and innovate in this area.
A supplementary consultation is also due to begin later in the year to look into how the direct-to-consumer advisory services Pension Wise and the Money Advice Service can be best utilised.

It's not that China never produced animation but few make their way out of the Republic and those that do appear in film festivals usually do not receive the same attention than their Japanese counterpart. However, Nezha Conquers the Dragon King has managed to seduce the audience when it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, and the critics considered it bright in color, elegant in style, and rich in imagination. The film was given the outstanding Film Prize in 1980 and the Special Prize at the Second Manila International Film Festival in 1982. I was dubbed in many languages however, those versions are nearly impossible to find today. The character of Nezha has frequently appeared in Chinese Mythology and ancient Chinese Literature and the animation Nezha Conquers the Dragon King tell the story of one of these Chinese legend. If I need to make a comparison with a more modern animation, it is difficult to not see some parallel between this story and Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998). The base themes are similar in many ways with a story involving a tiny child that mature right before their birth, are determined and possess supernatural powers who have to vanquish an enemy who oppress the local population.

Looking for a family-friendly place to eat on Sunday mornings? Beginning April 14, the Bistro on the Hill at Fauquier Hospital will be offering an all-inclusive Sunday brunch from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with lots of choices and a special price for children.
Families can enjoy selections from the grill (made to order eggs and pancakes) with all the fixings (like bacon, sausage and breakfast potatoes) or fruit and salad bar. A homestyle station will offer one carved selection and another traditional lunch-style entrée. Pizza is on the menu too, in kid-sized slices, and a pasta station will include a choice of two sauces. Muffins, scones and breads will be available, and for those thinking ahead to Sunday dinner, whole pies and breads may be purchased to bring home.
The cost for adults is $9.95; kids 12 and under are $3.95 and children under 4 eat free. Fountain drinks, coffee and tea are included in the price, but bottled drinks are extra.
Natalie Ramos, director of Food and Nutrition Services at Fauquier Health, said that the idea for a Sunday brunch came from a desire to provide a variety of healthy, freshly made foods that families could enjoy together. "I won't say that kids are picky eaters. I'll say they have definite ideas about what they like. Our brunch will offer plenty of variety for children – and their parents."

By Chen Aizhu and Michelle Price
BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) - China National Chemical Corp (ChemChina) [CNNCC.UL] and Swiss pesticides and seeds group Syngenta AG <SYNN.S> have proposed minor concessions to the EU's competition watchdog to address concerns over their $43 billion merger plan, sources told Reuters.
One person close to the deal said it was unlikely ChemChina would have to sell its Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd <ADAM.N> unit. Discussions were focusing on remedying concerns with respect to specific products, some of which Adama may own.

This person said the overall divestments would be less than $500 million.
"It's about individual products where competition is scarce," this person said, adding that some of these products were only worth tens of millions of dollars.
"My understanding is that [divestments] are very minor," another source close to the deal said.
The European Commission's website showed "commitments" submitted on Jan. 9, which typically means the parties have proposed remedies such as asset divestment or specific product pricing. It did not elaborate on the nature of the commitments.
"Syngenta confirms that remedies related to the deal with ChemChina have been submitted to the EC. We will not comment further on that," a Syngenta spokesman said. "ChemChina and Syngenta remain fully committed to the transaction and are confident of its closure."
A spokesman for state-owned ChemChina told Reuters details of the remedy proposals were confidential.
The Commission began investigating ChemChina's takeover of Syngenta in October, saying they had not allayed concerns about potentially unfair competitive advantages.
The deal has already been approved by regulators in several markets, including by a U.S. national security panel and Australia's competition watchdog.
The Commission's concerns are widely seen as one of the last major regulatory hurdles, with U.S. antitrust approval also pending.
Syngenta said last week the Commission had agreed to extend its review of the deal by 10 working days to April 12 to allow "sufficient time for the discussion of remedy proposals".
In its October statement, the Commission highlighted ChemChina subsidiary Adama as one area where ChemChina and Syngenta had an overlapping portfolio of European crop protection products, including herbicide and insecticide. A merger could therefore potentially reduce competition for such products.
Israel-based Adama makes generic crop protection and pest control products. It is the largest supplier of generic crop protection products in Europe, according to the Commission.
Ioannis Kokkoris, Chair in Law and Economics at Queen Mary University of London, said divesting Adama was the simplest and cleanest means for ChemChina to address competition concerns.
"That ChemChina has not done this yet suggests it is trying to mitigate a full divestment of Adama, such as by selling a number of significant activities," said Kokkoris. "The other scenario is that it has agreed to divest Adama and is now discussing top-up remedies."
These could include commitments to continue funding research in certain products to ensure the deal does not adversely affect innovation in product development, he said.
The Commission's next step would be to test the proposed remedies against its market model, Kokkoris said.
"The companies have identified a list of products that may have caused the Commission's concerns in respective countries," a senior Beijing-based industry executive with knowledge of the talks told Reuters last week.
"Although the progress has taken slightly longer than expected, communication with the Commission has been smooth," said the executive, who was not authorised to speak publicly on the matter and so declined to be identified.

veryone, meet your newest ethical fashion related obsession: Walk Sew Good. Made up of two smart and sassy women, Megan and Gab, team Walk Sew Good is currently walking across southeast Asia to gather positive stories about how your ethically-made clothes are produced and the affect that ethical business practices have on the people who make your clothes.
We often make blanket statements like "If we all changed our consumption habits, we could change the fashion industry!". But are we really asking everyone to change their consumption habits? And is that fair? For me, the answer is "no". At this point in my life, the vast majority of my friends, and the people I spend the most of my time with are not well-to-do and it seems ridiculous to encourage them to buy a $22.00 pair of organic and fair trade underwear when they are just trying to get by and cover rent and food for the month.
The longer I'm here in the beautiful Philippines, the more personally connected to the cause of "fashion revolution" I become. In just a few short months, I've befriended women in the garment industry, met local, small ethical fashion businesses and listened to their struggles to survive and "make it" without compromising on fair wages, and have even gotten the inside scoop on the big fast fashion manufacturing factories here.
Safia Minney has long been on my list of ethical fashion heroes. You might know her best as the visionary behind pioneering ethical brand People Tree, which has been producing beautiful garments and advocating for workers rights for 20 years- or you might have been introduced to Safia through The True Cost Documentary.
I've just recently learned of Safia's latest project, a book and campaign titled "Slave To Fashion" that aims to expose slavery and exploitation in the fashion industry.
I'm really honored to share this great post today by my new friend Alma AlFarisi, founder of Kawula Muda. Truly ethical style involves asking more questions about a than just "was the person making this paid fair wages?"

Voxox Universal Communicator Adds Personal Assistant
TelCentris launched Voxox in 2008 and has steadily added feature after feature to the free software to handle just about every facet of your desktop communications. That includes instant messages (on all major services), SMS texts, voice over IP calls, video conferencing, email, even faxing and social networking updates. With Voxox service you get a free follow-around phone number, like the kind Google Voice gives away. It's a crazy mishmash in a pretty streamlined interface that works well and runs on Windows and Macintosh.
Most of what Voxox offers is completely free with the exception of outgoing SMS, fax, and calls, which are so cheapabout one penny per text or minutethey might as well be. You can also get unlimited outgoing communications to the U.S. and Canada for $2.45 a month, or worldwide for $12.95 a month. (TelCentris is a phone company, so it likes to sell that, plus can charge carriers when people call you.)
So, with all that, what more could Voxox offer? How about your very own PA? At CES today, the company announced the second version of its personal assistant service to handle routing and management of all your in-bound calls.
Of course, you can set Voxox to forward certain calls to certain message boxes, that doesn't work for all incoming numbers, especially those not in your address book. PA2 will use the voice of your choosing, male or female, and direct the caller to the right destination in your communications tree, be it your cell or home or office phone, your voice mail, or maybe even to your DeadEnd, a feature for unwanted callers (it doubles as a way to get rid of stalkers; it can tell them your "line has been disconnected and is no longer in service" even when it's not.)
PA2 will record calls, transfer them, and create conference calls if necessary. The owner of the line can dial-in remotely from any phone to check vmail, or to call back out to another number using cheaper TelCentris rates. The PA2 service is cloud-based, so if there's an upgrade you don't have to worry about The rest of the Voxox software, which is still labeled as beta, does require an occasional auto-update.
Voxox created an SMS call back feature, similar to the call out feature on Google Voice. Any mobile phone, not just smart phones, could send a text to Voxox with a number, get a call, and then have the other side of the call go through. The connection is made using the TelCentris outgoing service on the cheap. Google Voice call out only works from the web interface or the select smartphones that have a Google Voice app (specifically not the iPhone).
Voxox provides all new users $1 of free outgoing to start. That's 100 minutes of talk time. Try the free calls and put that PA to work, stalkers or not.

Things could have gone smoother this past weekend on lower Westheimer. No one is denying that. Rocks Off has learned to live with the inevitable scheduling delays and interminable sound checks, as we're sure most Westheimer Block Party regulars have, but performers please take heed: Swapping stage times with each other willy-nilly, and especially not showing up at all, are no ways to win over new fans - or, really, to even keep the ones you've already got.
Yes, chaos is as much a part of the Block Party's DNA as the Super Happy Fun Land puppet shows and the Dead Roses/Future Blondes crew running around sipping MGD tallboys shrouded in brown paper bags. And we know it's hard as hell to keep your mind on selling T-shirts, serving beer, running sound, etc., after you learn a dear friend has just died. But there's something to be said for keeping the trains running on time (or at least reasonably on time), especially when you're trying to make a good impression on city officials in the hopes of resurrecting the Westheimer Street Festival. Because even if the Block Party doesn't need any more bands trying to copy Vampire Weekend, Houston needs the Block Party or something very much like it. The event may not make much of an impact on the national or even regional musical radar, but really, who cares? Block Party is a stark reminder of just how much musical talent we have around here. And as we could tell by the swarms of kids still well short of their 21st birthdays running around, its influence on budding local musicians is incalculable. Rocks Off is willing to bet the farm we'll see a lot of those kids again soon enough - only this time up on the stage.
So Rocks Off extends our deepest condolences to Omar Afra and his Free Press Houston crew on the loss of Lee Powers, as well as our congratulations on pulling off what had to have been the most difficult Block Party yet and sincerest wishes this isn't the end of outdoor music festivals on lower Westheimer. We have a feeling it's not. Rocks Off would like to thank everyone who helped us cover this weekend's festival from the bottom of our exhausted hearts. Below you'll find handy links to all of our Block Party coverage, in both words and pictures. If for some reason you haven't taken a few minutes to look it over, please do. Musicians are seldom at the top of the list whenever Houston starts toting up its cultural resources, but after this weekend, we can't for the life of us understand why.

Craig Hlavaty, Part 1: "The crowds were still middling and skewing much younger than we had ever seen before, all pimply-faced and half-clothed like they were at the Warped Tour..." Brittanie Shey: "Whoever played first at Numbers was good enough to rouse us out of our Saturday morning stupor..." Craig Hlavaty, Part 2: "It's not indie rock, it's not country, but seems to be music from some other alternate dimension..." R.I.P. Lee Powers

Catholic diocese to sell Burlington church
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — The Catholic Diocese of Burlington says it is selling the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, citing low attendance and increased financial struggles.
WCAX-TV reports the diocese says it is deciding between two real estate firms to list the property. The city has the building valued at $2.1 million and the land at more than $2.2 million.
Bishop Christopher Coyne says the property will not be sold to a firm that would use it for something "contrary to Catholic teaching."
He says any money from the sale could not be used by the diocese.
The decision comes after the congregation chose to merge with the Cathedral of Saint Joseph's in May.
The churches are less than 10 minutes apart on foot.

Supreme Court 101: A Primer for Non-Lawyers
A common refrain from lawyers is that they will take a case "all the way to the Supreme Court," but it is easier said than done to get the Supreme Court to review a case. The Supreme Court of the United States agrees to hear only a small number of cases each term, so the odds are stacked against most litigants. The reasons why the Court declines to hear particular cases range from the merits to procedural matters. While these procedural hurdles may seem arcane, they preserve judicial resources and further the proper separation of powers among the branches of government. Article III of the Constitution provides that the judicial power extends only to cases or controversies, and the jurisdictional and standing rules further that requirement.

Colorado researchers have used genetic engineering to produce a form of artificial blood, representing a significant step in the search for a solution to the worldwide shortage of blood.
Researchers from Somatogen in Boulder report today in the British journal Nature that they have begun human trials with the blood, which is produced in bacteria.
The artificial blood is a genetically engineered form of hemoglobin, the complicated protein that -- enclosed in red blood cells -- carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. The genetically engineered hemoglobin persists in the blood of dogs much longer than the naturally occurring form and causes no adverse side effects, they report. In separate studies not yet published, they have also found that the material effectively carries oxygen to tissues, pulmonologist Steven Shoemaker of Somatogen said.
Many companies have been searching for an artificial blood because of the annual worldwide shortage of about 100 million units of blood and the military's need for blood replacements.

Why Chase Hill?
I've always thought that giving place-names to virtual entities seemed a little silly—and you might be wondering, as I would be, what "Chase Hill" has to do with a distance writing school. Yet when it was time to find a name for the school, what came to mind most strongly was the unusual environment in which I grew up.Read more

Chase Hill School
Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Chase Hill School grew out of Mary's in-person writing classes for families in her local homeschooling community, which she has been teaching since 2009. To accommodate students who wished to work with her but lived too far away to meet in person, Mary began conducting distance tutorials, which eventually resulted in the Chase Hill School as an on-line entity. Founded in 2012, the school now provides exceptional, personalized distance instruction to students from San Francisco to Bangalore.

Think about the man hours that went into creating that dam. There aren't many things that we have created that even come close to equaling that achievement. The reason for its creation and the accomplishment itself speak wonders for what Americans can accomplish if and when they commit to a project.
I think that the Hoover Dam really is one of the most impressive things that we as Americans have come together and forged as a concept into reality. If you have never been there, then you really cannot marvel at just how amazing of a place that it really is.
While the Hoover Dam is indeed an engineering marvel and extremely impressive even today, calling it America's greatest achievement would be selling short the many achievements Americans have done. America has progressed so much in both sciences, as well as social policies that such progress itself is an achievement. I believe with how much the country has grown in both science and engineering, that is in itself a great achievement.
While I do indeed think that the Hoover Dam was a very impressive achievement, I think it was much more impressive when we as a nation put together a space program and landed men on the moon. The Hoover Dam was impressive for its time, but not any longer I say.

Barely three months after disclosing its reunion during the Grammy Awards telecast, top San Diego pop-punk band blink-182 yesterday announced the dates for its reunion tour, including a Sept. 16 show at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Chula Vista.
Opening acts for various stops on the tour will include Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Panic at the Disco, All-American Rejects, Asher Roth and Chester French.
The tour is blink's first since the trio acrimoniously split up in 2005. The members reconciled last September after drummer Travis Barker was severely burned and injured in a South Carolina plane crash that claimed the lives of four other people.
Tickets for all shows are scheduled to go on sale May 20 at livenation.com.
Colorado prosecutors have dropped charges against a man accused of shooting at bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and another man during a pursuit being videotaped for a reality TV show.
An attempted-murder charge was dropped because of conflicting witness statements and because the evidence was weak, El Paso County Assistant DA Dan Zook said Thursday.
Chapman and bail bondsman Bobby Brown told Colorado Springs police they were fired on while chasing Hoang Nguyen, 35, last month after Nguyen missed a court date on a domestic violence charge.
The chase was being videotaped for A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter" reality TV show.

REGINA—Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says bringing in a carbon tax would "kneecap" an already struggling Canadian economy.
Wall was reacting to a report in The Globe and Mail that the federal government is eyeing a national carbon tax of $15 a tonne.
The premier says the energy sector across Canada has already been hit hard by the falling price of oil and tens of thousands of jobs have been lost.
"And the last thing we need right now is a tax increase or a new federal carbon tax or frankly a provincial carbon levy. Now's not the right time for any of those things," Wall said Friday at the legislature in Regina.

This papercraft is Daedric Mace, based on the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the paper modelis created by Kuraudo3. The Daedric Mace is a One-Handed weapon found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The mace has the highest base damage of One-Handed weapons. The fully upgraded version of the Daedric Mace is the highest damage available for One-Handed weapons not obtainable through quests. Despite being more expensive to forge and having a greater weight, the Daedric Mace has the same base damage as the Ebony Mace.
Daedric Maces appear as randomized loot on the world map after a certain level has been achieved. Otherwise, Daedric Maces can be crafted at the Atronach Forge beneath the College of Winterhold, using an array of ingredients.
This mace is primarily black and gray in color. The overall finish is matte, with some gloss on the hammer marks and edges. Several rivets on the mace hold it together.
Four serrated flanges curve in to form a crown at the tip of the mace. Red inlays are engraved into the flanges, they are faint in size and distinction, and emit a slight glow.
On the central head of the mace there are four secondary flanges attached to the handle used as a support for the primary flanges, decorative engravings run down the length of these.
The handle of the mace has two sections separated with a metal ring, each section has two parallel metal beams and three adjacent metal clasps. Brown leather strips are held down by the clasps and provide the grip for the handle. The handle has a metal ring on the bottom and continues to the pommel of the mace which has four small tertiary flanges in the form of spikes with a blunt exterior and bladed interior. They show visible warping from hammering during crafting.
This paper craft is not open to download, but you can send email to the author asking for the template, get it here: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Daedric Mace Free Papercraft

Tim Taylor, hosted by the Brown Family @ Pittville Street
Tim's work is constructed from recycled materials, for the Garden Gallery he will be introducing wooden chip forks and lollipop sticks placed within the soil of the garden, watching? the viewer.
Title of work - Gathering
Approximately 3000 chip forks, lollipop sticks and wooden stirrers (common to takeaways and the seaside) are to be arranged upright in a crowd within a garden. Surrounding the viewer, the forks, sticks and stirrers have simple faces drawn on them: two dots and a line. An expressionless gaze. The reason behind their gathering is not clear. Do they look out for help or in bafflement to the outsider's arrival? In either case the viewer becomes the viewed.
This piece continues an ongoing investigation of the transformation of the everyday and the mundane.

The African cinema lion roars!
FESPACO (Festival panafricain du cinéma et de la télévision de Ouagadougou) is an annual source of tremendous local pride in Burkina Faso, reports _Pambazuka News_. The largest cultural event on the continent, and the premier pan-African film festival worldwide, it is held in the Burkinabè capital of Ouagadougou at the end of February every year. Ouaga, a bustling, moped-saturated, smouldering capital city is a paradise for lovers of African cinema. The city is awash with moviegoers for the ten days of the festival, soaking up African images and stories that will rarely be seen beyond the continent in five air-conditioned, technically well-equipped cinemas.
The 2007 Grand Prize Winners were: _Ezra_, directed by Newton Aduaka, the heartbreaking story of a child soldier on trial who suffers memory loss and the realization that he may have murdered his parents; and _Les Saignantes_, directed by Jean-Pierre Bekolo, a visually stunning story of corruption, sexuality and supernatural power all taking place in Yaoundé in 2025. Not coming to a cinema near you!

A pair of Florida State All-American track & field athletes have traded their garnet & gold for red, white & blue as members of Team USA competing at the IAAF World Championships, which opens Saturday at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia.
Rising seniors Dentarius Locke and James Harris, members of the 4×100 and 4×400 relay pools, respectively, hope to contribute to gold medal winning performances over the course of the nine-day meet. They departed Tallahassee for Linz, Germany , the training site for Team USA, three weeks ago and arrived in Moscow on Monday.
They will be joined in the competition by fellow teammate and rising senior Anne Zagre, who set the Florida State school record in the 100-meter hurdles (12.84) last month at the Belgium National Championship meet on her way to the title. Zagre will represent her home country in one of the deepest events that will be contested.
"It has been great," Harris said. "Just being able to prepare for this meet with all of the other US athletes has been electric. Everyone has been getting after it and we are all excited for the meet to start."
Harris and Locke will be waiting a while to play their part if they are called on by Team USA officials. The 4×400 – both the preliminary heats and finals – is schedule for Saturday, Aug. 17, while the 4×100 preliminary heats and finals bring the championships to a close on Sunday.
"Training has been great," Harris said. "It looks like I will be running lead off leg in the prelims. I believe waiting around has been the hardest part this whole time. Even the older teammates here are ready for the meet to start."
They got their first look at Luzhniki Stadium on Friday during a walk-through, which preceded the opening ceremonies.
Harris was selected as a member of the six-man USA relay pool in the 4×400 on the strength of his fifth-place finish at the USA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa in the 400-meter dash in June. There he matched his career-best time of 45.23, which he had previously established at the NCAA Championships, where he also placed fifth. He is currently ranked No. 22 in the world in the 400.
Locke enters the World Championships currently ranked No. 10 in the world in the 100, but a sixth-place finish at the USA Championships will prevent him from competing as an individual. The NCAA Outdoor runner-up in the 100 to fellow Team USA teammate Charles Silmon, Locke ran 9.97 in the semifinals in Eugene, Ore., then came back with a wind-aided 9.91 in the final.
The Tampa, Fla. made his first trip abroad earlier this summer to work with Team USA and lowered that mark to 9.96 when he finished second to top-ranked US star Justin Gatlin in the Diamond League meet at Moncao. Locke came within .02 of upsetting Gatlin out of lane 8 and into a headwind, but dusted his current relay teammates, 2012 Olympian Mike Rogers and Silmon.
Still, he is uncertain what his role will be on the relay team.
"Training went pretty well in Linz," said Locke. "The relay is interesting and I am curious to see what order we will run in the prelims. …
"I will be anxious, but also a little hurt that I am not competing in the open 100 as well. I wish I could compete with the other USA teammates, but it's all motivation for next year."
Both athletes have taken the opportunity to see the sights of Moscow. Locke (@BlackDash813) recently tweeted a night time shot of downtown.
"We all went out to eat at a TGI Friday's here in Moscow," Harris said. "It's by far the most I've ever paid at that restaurant. After leaving, it was nice to see Moscow at night. The buildings are beautiful and the lights are as well."
Locke said between training and a little sightseeing, he has also been catching up on his rest in an effort to get acclimated to the eight-hour difference between Tallahassee and Moscow. In between he has been picking the brains of his veteran teammates and taking a lot of notes, including some from men – like Gatlin – who he idolized as a youngster.
Down time aside, both men are treating the meet like a business trip. Sprinting for Team USA comes with great expectations.
The 4×400 USA team, featuring veteran LaShawn Merritt and rising stars Tony McQuay and David Verburg, enters the meet as the favorite, having posted three of the four fastest times in the world this year. Though a perennial power in the event, the US squad settled for silver at the 2012 London Olympics after the Bahamas sprung one of the biggest surprises in Olympic Games history.
Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Russia and Belgium – with a lineup that includes former Seminoles Kevin and Jonathan Borlee – all have medal potential.
There will be even greater scrutiny on the Team USA 4×100 team, which has not won a major world title in an event they dominated for decades in six years. Reigning powerhouse Jamaica, anchored by Usain Bolt, may be the favorite, but the USA squad ran a world-leading 37.58 at Monaco earlier this summer.
Locke, who has been getting all of his work on the second leg of the US quartet, would like nothing more than to cap his ascendant season by being a part of a new streak.
"I feel blessed to be wearing USA gear," Locke said. "Hopefully I will get the chance to wear it on the track sometime this week and represent not only my family and FSU, but also my country."
In addition to the two Seminoles who will return for their senior seasons in the fall, a handful of former Florida State stars will also compete over the course of the nine-day event, which is contest in odd years around the Olympic Games.
Sprinter Kemar Hyman, the 2012 ACC 100-meter champion and recent Olympian, will represent the Cayman Islands in his specialty. Pelle Rietveld, a former All-American multi-event competitor, will represent the Netherlands in the decathlon, which begins Saturday.
On the women's side, Jamaican Kimberly Williams is expected to contend for a medal in the triple jump. A pair of distance standouts, Great Britain's Hannah England and the Netherlands' Susan Kuijken, will compete in the 1500. Kuijken, who is back to form for the first time since leaving FSU in 2011, is also entered in the 5000.
