Fujifilm Launches $1.45 Billion Bid for Toyama Chemical
Digital camera and medical equipment maker Fujifilm Holdings said on Wednesday it will spend up to 155 billion yen ($1.45 billion) to take control of drug maker Toyama Chemical to grow in the pharmaceuticals market. Fujifilm, the world's second-largest maker of endoscopes behind Olympus, is offering 880 yen per Toyama Chemical share in a tender offer from Feb 19 to March 18 -- a 39 percent premium to its latest close. Fujifilm will aim to buy at least 73.19 million shares, but will purchase all shares tendered with the exception of the 43 million shares, or 22 percent stake, held by top Toyama shareholder Taisho Pharmaceutical. That means Fujifilm's total bill for the tender offer could reach 135 billion yen. In addition, Fujifilm will buy about 20 billion yen worth of new shares issued by Toyama Chemical in a private placement at the end of February.

Local photographer’s first exhibit exceeds CAC’s sales average
The curator used just one word to describe the mood. Shocked, said Marilyn Ritchie, CAC curator and visual arts director. People were shocked. Nobody expected his work to be so beautiful. Six of Brandons photos were sold. Its not usual for people to buy that many photos at an exhibit, Ms. Ritchie said. Two or three, maybe, but not five and six. Thats a lot. People dont buy photographs as frequently as they purchase paintings and sculptures, the longtime curator said. For some reason, people dont see photographs as art, but (Brandons) photos - you look at them, and you know theyre art, Ms. Ritchie said. Ive never seen a photo exhibit be received so well. Catchlight Borrowing a term from photography, the exhibit was called Catchlight.
'It just feels like I don't exist anymore'
As the city slept on a cold Wednesday morning, Jayme Spinks was still at the drawing board, pulling an all-nighter on an overdue design job. Ms. Spinks, 24, thought nothing of the sirens, at least not at first. She'd lived on Queen Street West for almost two years and was used to them. But, as the swirling red lights bled through her third-storey blinds, something compelled her to go down to the street and have a look. "Clearly, the place was on fire," she said of the address four doors east, "and there was a lot of smoke coming out of it. Enough to bother me." Back upstairs, she changed out of her pyjamas, gathered her cat and a few belongings and left, planning to return once the fire was out. She didn't realize those items would be all she owned by the end of the day, when she sat in her mother's rec room in Belleville, watching herself on TV, gazing at the flattened remains of her material life.
The science of slam
The kind that can make eyes water and merits a replay or three. A scientist would need precise measurements and some serious calculations to determine the force of a hit. A football player has only seconds, and sometimes not even that long. Certainly not enough time to think about the wicked physics equation that will play out once he puts his shoulder into the 200-pound Super Ball of fast-twitch muscles barreling toward him. "If you're thinking like that, you're going to get run over," linebacker Lofa Tatupu said. Better to just grit your teeth, unload your best shot and let the variables sort themselves out. "When it's two people running full speed, you never know how it's going to happen," linebacker Leroy Hill said. "Hopefully you come out on top and him on bottom.
