ANTITRUST EU agency to probe Bayer’s acquisition of Monsanto The European Union’s antitrust watchdog said Tuesday that it has launched a probe into German chemical maker Bayer ’s planned acquisition of US seed and weed- killer company Monsanto . The European Commission, which polices competition in Europe, said it has concerns that the merger may reduce competition in areas like pesticides and seeds. Monsanto last year accepted an offer from Bayer to pay $57 billion to its shareholders and assume $9 billion in debt. Were it to go ahead, the buyout would create the world’s largest integrated pesticides and seeds company. The commission says it will also look into whether the move would hinder the access of competitors to distributors and farmers. — ASSOCIATED PRESS ANTITRUST Brazilian watchdog questions AT&T’s deal for Time Warner Brazil’s antitrust watchdog said AT&T Inc.’s $85. 4 billion deal for Time Warner Inc. poses a high risk to competition, a potential complication...

10 4045 Vineland Ave Studio City , CA 91604 (855) 662-7294 I have lived here a long time and I like it. It is a bit pricey. I enjoy the built in W/D and fireplaces in the units. They have a workout room, jacuzzi, pool and small business area with computers (no printer - they used to have and I wish they would replace it). It is a quiet building, with security guards and security cameras and doors so that is nice. It is very pretty in and out with no bug issues (I hate bugs! so this is major for me) The complaints about the peeling paint and general dirtiness in the stairwells has been true from time to time, but they eventually do clean and paint. We have had water run off issues in those areas, so it took a while to repair. The general upkeep is good overall. Everyone has always been very nice and friendly to me and all repair/maintenance issues are immediately addressed. You can hear people walking above, but that does not bother me. On the whole, if you don't mind paying a b...

It isn’t every day that the leader of a sprawling metropolis takes time out to preside over the grand opening of a movie theater. But this wasn’t just any multiplex, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti would explain. Last Thursday the nine- screen Cinemark Playa Vista and XD theater became the first business to open in Runway at Playa Vista — the $260- million retail and entertainment complex that, by linking the 460- acre development ’s burgeoning technology mega -center to what will eventually be 6,000 new homes and apartments, completes Playa Vista as essentially a city unto itself. Less than two years after its April 2013 groundbreaking, Runway is only months shy of substantial completion. A 36,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market is set to open as early as May. Sixteen other businesses — restauran...
