| Nicole Kidman Is Pregnant
For Kidman, 40, this will be her third child. She and her former husband, Tom Cruise adopted two children during their marriage: Isabella, now 15, and Connor, 12. As for where Kidman and Urban, 40, who will be a first-time parent, may bring up their impending arrival, the couple, though both from Down Under, purchased a farm near Leipers Fork, Tenn., a half-hour southwest of Nashville, in 2007. The couple, who have been married 18 months, wed, after a yearlong courtship, on June 25, 2006, in a candlelit ceremony at Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly. Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch. Before the couple even started dating, Kidman made her desire for more children clear. In April 2005, she told reporters that her biological clock was ticking.

A “miracle child from nowhere" born to a Stafford mother who has only half an ovary was revealed today at Stafford's maternity unit. Tiny Alfie Siviter is the baby nobody ever thought could be born. His mother Trudi Siviter, aged 39, was told by doctors 20 years ago she could never have children and, after two ectopic pregnancies, several attempts at IVF fertility treatment and the removal of all but half of one ovary, she had resigned herself to having a hysterectomy. But last July – three months before she was due to have the hysterectomy – she was “shocked, but happy", to find she was pregnant. Despite having only half an ovary left, which was itself not functioning properly, Alfie was born naturally at Staffordshire General Hospital's maternity unit eight months into the pregnancy on December 7.
Product designers urged to think green
IEC 62075 helps designers consider all aspects of a product from cradle to grave," said Ronnie Amit, general secretary and chief executive at the IEC. "If we can get designers to think holistically at the start of the product's life cycle, it's a win-win for the consumer, governments and industry alike." The standard also advises on new environmental regulations, and provides links to numerous government environment agencies around the world. See also: .
