LONDON Savers may one day be able to open digital money accounts at central banks such as the Bank of England but policymakers have to be careful that they do not hurt the banking industry in the process, a top BoE policymaker said on Wednesday.
While the use of digital currencies could widen the number and type of savers that can hold money with central banks, it could also take funds away from commercial banks and hurt their ability to lend, BoE Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent said.
The BoE is due to consult on how to revamp its 500 billion-pounds-a-day payment system and radical options could include using the kind of technology that underpins bitcoins, a digital currency.
Broadbent said in a speech that such a change could make deposits safer.
"Currently, retail deposits are backed mainly by illiquid loans, assets that can't be sold on open markets... the central bank, by contrast, holds only liquid assets on its balance sheet. The central bank can't run out of cash and therefore can't suffer a 'run'," he said.
"On the other hand, taking deposits away from banks could impair their ability to make the loans in the first place."BoE chief economist Andy Haldane last year floated the idea of abolishing physical cash and introducing a state-run digital currency as a way to give more muscle to central banks that cut interest rates below zero to boost their economies.
In his speech, Broadbent said it was highly unlikely that digital currencies would become widely used alternatives to established currencies like the dollar and the pound.

Home > Press > Robin Garrell Wins International Award for Pioneering Nanotechnology Research
UCLA professor and CNSI Member, Dr. Robin Garrell, has been selected by an independent panel of scientists to receive an international award and special recognition for her pioneering research work in nanotechnology.
Prof. Garrell received the Gold Medal in the 2007 Pioneering Nanotechnology Competition sponsored by Masscal Scientific Instruments of Orlando, Florida, for technical innovation in microfluidic devices. Dr. Garrell's award is in support of her research group's work in the development of miniature "laboratory on a chip" devices that can quickly and inexpensively perform multiple laboratory tests on very small samples.
The Pioneering Nanotechnology Competition was established to encourage and reward the highest level of research into understanding the behavior and characteristics of materials being used in nano-scale applications such as advanced electronics, fuel cells, medical implants and even environmental monitoring. The 2007 competition focused on specific technology that provides unique capabilities to make critical property measurements of thin and ultra-thin films beyond the size limitations of traditional measurement methods.
Competition winners were determined by an international panel of expert judges who awarded prizes based on technical merit and positive impact upon society. The award winners were announced at the recent North American Thermal Analytical Society meetings in East Lansing, Michigan.
Pioneering Nanotechnology Competition Award categories included:
* Energy and the Environment;
* Electronics and Communications;
* Films, Coatings and Fibers;
* Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences; and
* Novel Applications.
Prof. Garrell's research was recognized for innovation in the Novel Applications category. As part of the awards, Masscal Scientific Instruments is providing the top winners with access to Masscal's unique nanobalance/microcalorimeter technology, which provides scientists with new and powerful tools for accelerating and improving their valuable research efforts.
The Grand Prize for the 2007 Pioneering Nanotechnology Competition was awarded to Prof. Vladimir Tsukruk of the Georgia Institute of Technology for his research on plasma polymer coated microcantilevers for explosives detection. Prof. Tsukruk received a $50,000 Masscal Nanobalance/Microcalorimeter during a special presentation and award ceremony held in Atlanta on Dec. 13th.
Dr. Allan L. Smith, founder and President of Masscal Scientific Instruments, said the wide array of research proposals received from major universities and research labs demonstrates the broad need and potential for this new technology.
"We were very excited to see that scientists working over a broad range of applications have so many ideas for using our system's micro- and nano-scale capabilities," Smith said. "Our technology is going to allow researchers to study materials in ways that have never been possible before."
Dr. John W. Furry, Chief Executive Officer of Masscal Scientific Instruments, said Masscal is dedicated to being a leader and an enabler of cutting-edge nanotechnology research.
"I'm proud that Masscal Scientific Instruments is going to help make possible these very important research projects and the impacts they will make on how people live in the 21st century," Furry said. "I will be following the progress with great interest."

The woman was identified as Karla Vanessa Perez of the northeastern state of Coahuila, which borders Texas. She is currently being treated at a hospital in the state capital Saltillo, the broadcaster said in the report. Perez, whose age was not given, had fertility treatment leading to the multiple pregnancy, it said. State-owned news agency Notimex also reported the pregnancy, saying Perez was due to give birth on May 20. "It's very early to think of names for the babies," Perez told Notimex. "First I hope that everything goes well." The successful delivery of nonuplets would be one of the highest multiple births ever recorded. In 2009, a woman in California gave birth to octuplets, sparking worldwide media attention.

Big Star
In Space, these Memphis power-pop legends' overdue studio follow-up to 1978's revered Third/Sister Lovers, didn't exactly convince anyone that the Big Star magic was still alive. That said, Alex Chilton and Jody Stephensalong with Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, who joined the band over a decade agostill kick up an appealing racket onstage. Expect some mention of Rhino's new four-disc box set. With Philly-based garage-rock hotshot Kurt Vile and Tara Angell.

But if I am to be honest here, even at the risk of being unpopular among my fellow reviewers who are also fans of Amy Tan, I am afraid I must take the middle road in my evaluation of it. Let me cut to the chase - I found this novel less than amazing. At best I would say it is generic Amy Tan.
Even though parts of the book are really quite good, perhaps even worthy of a 5-star assessment, for several reasons the book as a whole could not sustain five stars. Allow me to explain.
VALLEY is the oft-told Amy Tan tale of strained mother-daughter relationships for which she is highly acclaimed and with which she typically builds her narrative architecture. I found that I have grown weary of it.
The plotting of this story as well as its array of characters are all rendered in a much too cozy fashion. The sprawling plot meanders around the high-end courtesan houses of Shanghai during the early 1900's. The courtesans were known as flower girls who were trained from a young and tender age to entertain male clients and provide sexual services including the giving up of their highly prized virginity.Read more ›
It is a testament to Tan's writing that I finished this book. I do not like spending so much time with characters I do not like or respect. Violet Minturn, the daughter of a famed American courtesan mistress in Shanghi, is someone I didn't enjoy. A spoiled brat would be a good description. Violet is half American, half Chinese, a fact that she doesn't discover until she's 8 or 9. She creeps around the house spying on all the courtesans at work. Nothing her mother does is good enough and Violet never feels loved.
Violet's mother decides to return to San Francisco and is tricked into leaving Violet behind. Word is sent to her that Violet has died. Violet is sold into another courtsesan house as a virgin and is trained to take up the profession. Even though she knows her mother was tricked in leaving her behind and that her mother believes her dead, she is outraged her mother doesn't come back for her. Her unhappiness colors every thing.
She gets involved in a relationship with an American and participates in a counterfeit identification that leads to horrendous results. I can not fathom why she does so and it is never explained. She is outraged, once again, that her duplicity is discovered. This character never seems to mature or make adult, well thought decisions. It is like she quit growing at 14.
The book is overly long. There's so much discussion of furnishings and clothes that I tended to nod off. I think it could have been edited by at least 100 pages and been a better story. I can see why it took her 8 years to write it as it is so detailed. I find that as an author gets more famous that there is less editing leading to really uneven stories.
Still I read it.Read more ›
I was disappointed. At the risk of publicizing my oversentimentality, I also felt betrayed. I pre-ordered the novel and waited patiently, checking my mailbox every afternoon. And though I could only read a few pages a day because of my graduate program, I kept thinking - hoping, certainly - the story would pick up, a redeeming epiphany would alter the book's tone, something would make the characters more likable, more human, more compassionate. I waited for the language to become less tedious, the grimy details of Shanghai less depressing, the flower/sex references less tacky. Like the patrons of these courtesan houses, I spent the whole novel waiting at the cusp of this valley and searching for what I desired most. But I never found it. Just like the patrons, I found illusions, cheap embellishments, shoddy furniture, and cheap, cheap, cheap sex.
At Tan's defense, I get it. Sex sells. "Fifty Shades" is a testament to that, among so many other empty "pieces of literature" that will never stand in the same light as the classics, the unrecognized talents, the Nobel Laureates, the Pulitzer Prize winners. True literary minds, true English enthusiasts, scoff at works like these - they shame us, embarrass us. To use Tan's own terminology, good literature - true, honest literature - is like a first wife. And cheap, repetitive sex scenes, empty characters, and stale plot - these are all slave girls. I am sad to admit that I finally saw the day I'd scoff at an author I idolized and admired most.Read more ›

Why She Buys
The New Strategy for Reaching the World's Most Powerful Consumers

You'll see how many points you'll earn before checking out. We'll award them after completing your purchase.
If the consumer economy had a sex, it would be female.
If the business world had a sex, it would be male.
And therein lies the pickle.
Women are the engine of the global economy, driving 80 percent of consumer spending in the United States alone. They hold the purse strings, and when they've got a tight grip on them as they do now, companies must be shrewder than ever to win them over. Just when executives have mastered becoming technology literate, they find there's another skill they need: becoming female literate.
This isn't always easy. Gender is the most powerful determinant of how a person views the world and everything in it. It's stronger than age, income, or race. While there are mountains of research done every year segmenting consumers and analyzing why they buy, more often than not it doesn't factor in the one piece of information that trumps them all: the sex of the buyer. It's stunning how many companies overlook the psychology of gender when we all know that men and women look at the world so differently.
Bridget Brennan's Why She Buys shows decision makers how to bridge this divide and capture the business of the world's most powerful consumers just when they need it most.
• No Matter Where You Live, Women Are a Foreign Country: You'll discover the value in studying women with the same intensity that you would a foreign market. Women grow up within a culture of their own gender, which is often invisible to men. Brennan dissects this female culture and explains the important brain differences
between men and women that may cause your female customers to notice things about your products, marketing campaigns, or sales environment that you might have overlooked.
• The High Fives: There are five major trends driving the global female population that are key to determining their wants and needs. These global shifts are just beginning to be tapped by businesses, and learning about them can provide you with an invaluable blueprint for long-range planning.
• The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Find out how the best and brightest companies have cracked the female code, and hear horror stories about those that haven't. Through instructive case studies and interviews, Why She Buys provides practical, field-proven techniques that you can apply to your business immediately, from giants like Procter & Gamble and Toyota to upstarts like Method home-care products and lululemon athletica apparel.
At a time when every company is looking for a competitive advantage, Bridget Brennan offers a new and effective lens for capturing market share.

BILLY McCORD: As I see it
The weather is absolutely beautiful, marred only by having to move the clocks back one hour this morning. I do not like the time change at all because it provides too much darkness as far as I am concerned. I realize that it may be because I am getting old and grouchy. Even if that is the reason, I am going to invest in some day bulbs which are supposed to make your house look and feel like sunshine. Feel free to give me some advice if you know anything about these bulbs.
Last week I ended by a discussion of the cross-cut saw. I said the last one Daddy had was used by me in an educational endeavor. I also promised to relate this story so I am keeping my promise.
When I arrived in the ninth grade at Bruce High School, all boys had to take a course in agriculture. I did not want to take agriculture, preferring science instead. The teacher told us we had to plan a project like making something with our hands. I had no idea what I would do. One day while at home I glanced at the old cross-cut saw in the shed and, I have no idea why, but I thought a machete could be made from the cross cut saw.
What need did I have for a machete?
My cousin enjoyed fishing, or more like setting out hooks, on the Yocona River. To do that took several canes and those things were hard to cut with a pocket knife. A machete would be the answer. I asked daddy if I could have the saw and he said sure. I suspect he never wanted to pull another one of the saws as long as he lived. Anyway "pop" saws were gaining in popularity so the cross-cut was mine. I asked the teacher about the project and he seemed encouraging. He suggested drawing a machete off on a piece of cardboard and make it fit the saw. Finally we had a cardboard machete and went to work on the saw. A machete was cut and the blade of the machete was made to be really sharp. I then made two handles of wood and installed them on the machete. The teacher thought I had done a good job, gave me an "A" on the project and told me I could take it home. My cousin and I then went fishing on the river and cut us some cane. The machete was superb for the job. The machete always went where I did in the trunk of the car I had at the time.
Run your clock back to the year 1962 and I will pick up on the machete again.
It was still riding in my trunk. On October 1, 1962, I was a student pastor on the Pittsboro Charge and was a student at Ole Miss. On September 30, 1962 it became clear to some of us that James Meredith was about to be enrolled at Ole Miss. His first day to go to school was October 1, 1962, as some of you can recall, after a night of violence. I got up to go to school and many of my folks called me and said, "Stay at home today."
Truthfully I would have liked to have stayed home but I wanted my degree without delay. My decision was to travel to Ole Miss and be in class. From the news reports I knew Federal Marshals were now in control of the area. On the radio I heard of people being put in a quickly constructed prison cell in the Lyceum Building on campus as well as a stockade on the football field.
Suddenly it hit me hard. My machete was in the trunk of my car where it always was. But things were different that day. I faced marshals as well as troops whose patience had been lost. I could see the picture of the trunk being searched and my being locked up somewhere. Neither the Lyceum Building nor the football field looked good to me. I pulled over south of Oxford, got up and popped the trunk. I reached in, got the machete and threw it as far as I could into woods. As far as I know it still occupies a spot on the Lafayette county soil.
I still miss the machete but I have learned to live without it.

Wall Street is acting with caution when it comes to Google based on months of reporting that the search engine giant's paid search clicks are declining. But Google insists that the click reductions are due to improvement in the quality of the ads, not because Google is somehow losing its luster.
The timing for this move may be poor, however. A Business Week article points out that some advertisers may be cutting their ad spend due to a slower economy.
Still, Google is smart to perform quality assurance. As any good search engine marketer knows, the answer lies in revenues, not clicks. Everyone wants their conversion ratio to be as low as possible, and Google is smart to keep their eye on providing quality for the user (both buyers and clickers). A temporary slowdown in growth is far better than ignoring a quality issue and seeing sustained declines down the road.
Q4 2007 revenues showed growth but came in just under Wall Street's expectations. This coincided with news of a slowdown in clicks. We won't see Q1 revenues until sometime next month, but that will give some insight into whether or not Google is on the right track.

Bush Heritage Bluetooth digital radio
This old-style digital radio features Bluetooth and is very easy to use
- Easy to use
- Bluetooth
- Good sound quality
- A little pricey
- No Wi-Fi or built-in Internet streaming
- No remote control
Bottom Line
The Bush Heritage Bluetooth digital radio blares the sounds of the 21st century through a design that looks like it's straight out of the 1950s. It's a good digital radio all up, and it's especially easy to use. We also like the built-in Bluetooth connectivity, and the sound quality from the stereo speakers is also enjoyable.
Price$ 269.00 (AUD)
The Bush Heritage digital radio has an old-style look that would suit those of you who want to add a bit of 'retro' to your surroundings. Its 1950s concept is something that we think many of you will dig, but at the same time we're a bit over the whole 'radio is an old medium so here is an old-looking radio to match' school of design.
This type of old design is what Bush seems to do best, though, and the Heritage is one of the better looking radios in this respect. The wooden enclosure, the metal grille at the front, and the overall subdued, golden colouring give it a warmth that's appealing. There are two dials on the front for dealing with radio station selection, settings, and volume, and there's a row of buttons above that so you can easily change modes and explore some of the radio's other features.
Indeed, the Heritage isn't just a digital radio; it can also be used to connect devices via a line port, and it's capable of connecting to your smartphone, tablet or laptop via Bluetooth. This versatility makes it a convenient external speaker for portable devices, and it comes in handy when you want to listen to your own personal tunes, or to stream radio from the Internet (the radio on its own doesn't have Wi-Fi or Internet streaming). And if you get bored with all that, then you can just go back to the good old digital airwaves and try out some of the newer stations to hit the Aussie dial.
Using this radio is very easy and we imagine that it could be a good addition to your household if you have any technophobes (or technoklutzes) around. If your radio isn't already pre-tuned, you can tune it by pressing the 'scan' button, which was really quick to find all stations in our tests. You can change radio stations by turning the dial that's located on the right side and then pressing it to select the station you want to hear. Meanwhile, the dial on the left changes the volume.
The LCD screen in the middle shows you the station information, which can include song information or show names, depending on the station's implementation. You can press the 'info' button just above the volume dial to cycle through the different information that the LCD can display (including time and date, though the time is always displayed in the main part of the screen regardless). It's clear and comfortable to read, even though it only has a few lines to display all its information.
It's simple to store presets simply by holding down the 'preset' button a couple of seconds on the current station that you are listening to. You can store up to 10 digital station presets, and they can all be accessed by pressing the 'preset' button again and scrolling through the stations with the dial on the right.
You can use this radio as an alarm clock if you wish, and its easy to set the alarm time by pressing the 'alarm' button and using the right control dial to scroll through all the options that make the alarm work. You can set the alarm time, the alarm duration, and whether it buzzes or whether it uses FM or DAB+ to wake you up. There is a 'sleep' button, too, for those times when you want to fall asleep to some music and not worry about turning off the radio manually. Little icons show up in the LCD display when these features are enabled, and they look nice in addition to being informative.
All aspects of this radio worked as expected, from the digital radio to the Bluetooth connectivity and the alarm system. The sound from it is quite clear and rich, too, from its twin 10W speakers, and we think it will make a fine radio for a bedroom or study where loud volumes and lots of bass aren't required. You can change the output by playing with the equaliser settings, too.
To sum it all up, this radio sounds good for what it is, and it's simple to use. In end, we also fell for its looks and quite enjoyed having it around. Its price of $269 is perhaps a little steep for a radio without Wi-Fi and Internet streaming features, but still we think it's a worthy digital radio to consider, especially if you're also after the convenience of Bluetooth so that you can listen to music from your mobile devices.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Inserted SIM card and battery, charged it up, turned it on, entered pin, and my US phone number was texted to me. The SIM came with the UK number printed on it. Can't wait to try it out. I just wish the phone was bigger. Really hard to use the up and down /side to side button with my large hands.

Find delicious mashed potato recipes including garlic mashed potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, mashed potato cakes and more mashed potato recipes. Recipe Spotlight Flavorful Mashed Potatoes Earthy herbs bring a full chorus of flavor to creamy red potatoes, making this side dish anything but ordinary. Save it for special occasions or serve as a dressy accompaniment to a weeknight meal. Mary Relyea - Canastota, New York Get Recipe More Mashed Potato Recipes Previous Page 1 2 3 ... 23 Next Page Mashed Potatoes with Horseradish Mashed Potatoes with Horseradish Instead of the ever-popular garlic mashed potatoes, this unusual recipe calls for prepared horseradish. This zippy side dish would be great with roast beef.—Cynthia Gobeli, Norton, Ohio View Recipe Party Potatoes Party Potatoes These creamy tasty potatoes can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to pop them in the oven (I often do that). The garlic powder and chives add zip, and the shredded cheese adds color. —Sharon Mensing, Greenfield, Iowa View Recipe Dilly Mashed Potatoes Dilly Mashed Potatoes In this recipe, dill adds a little spark to ordinary mashed potatoes. Plus the green flecks of this delightful herb make for a pretty presentation.—Annie Tompkins, Detona, Florida View Recipe Advertise with us ADVERTISEMENT Cheese Potato Puff Cheese Potato Puff I enjoy entertaining and always look for recipes that can be made ahead of time. I got this comforting potato recipe from my mother-in-law. It's wonderful because I can prepare it the night before. It contains basic ingredients that everyone loves like milk and cheddar cheese. -Beverly Templeton, Garner, Iowa View Recipe Baked Mashed Potatoes Baked Mashed Potatoes This is one comforting side dish that you can prepare ahead. My brother was always quick to dive into these creamy and fluffy potatoes when Mom served them with dinner. My sisters and I kept our eyes on him to be sure we'd get our fair share. -Darlis Wilfer, Phelps, Wisconsin View Recipe Mashed Potato for One Mashed Potato for One With two dance classes, bowling and crafting each week, this easy recipe is perfect when I need an out-of-the-ordinary side dish but have little time.—Winifred Chesborough, Truth or Consequences, New Mexico View Recipe Garlic Mashed Potatoes Garlic Mashed Potatoes I love both mashed potatoes and garlic, so this seemed like the perfect recipe for me. People say these potatoes rival varieties some restaurants are now serving.—Myra Innes, Auburn, Kansas View Recipe Potato Puffs Potato Puffs I give this recipe out often. It's suitable for any meal, and a terrific use of leftover potatoes. They're great alongside sandwiches or hamburgers. —June Mullins, Livonia, Missouri View Recipe Instant Party Potatoes Instant Party Potatoes These potatoes are so simple to make that you will be making them for any potluck or party you attend.—Kathy Roosma, Zeeland, Michigan View Recipe Potato Stuffing Casserole Potato Stuffing Casserole I adapted this recipe from a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook, and it's indicative of the fine German cooking found in this area. If you're looking for an alternative to mashed potatoes, try this dish. —Elsa Kerschner, Kunkletown, Pennsylvania View Recipe Creamy Mushroom-Potato Bake Creamy Mushroom-Potato Bake The day I first made this, we'd invited a neighbor—a bachelor farmer—over, and I wanted to fix something hearty. It was a hit instantly. These days, our three sons enjoy it as a change from regular mashed potatoes. We've found that it's best served with beef...either with or without gravy. —Kathy Smith, Granger, Indiana View Recipe Previous Page 1 2 3 ... 23 Next Page Advertise with us ADVERTISEMENT Advertise with us ADVERTISEMENT

'Howlin' for Hubert'
"Hubert was Wolf, Wolf was Hubert," said legendary blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin of his two decade partnership with Howlin' Wolf. Credited for the guitar line on "Smokestack Lightning," one of the most recognizable blues riffs, Sumlin played with more heart and intensity than just about anyone, until his heart finally gave out in December. (He died virtually pennilessSumlin received no royaltiesso the Rolling Stones covered his funeral costs.) A guitar god's guitar god, his influence cannot be overstated, with the likes of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Derek Trucks, Buddy Guy, and others from the rock pantheon turning out to pay tribute.

|Horny son fucks his momma�s tasty pussy until she explodes in an orgasm!
Having sex with your own mom is an extremely rewarding experience I should say. If you are a real incest porn buff, you sure will love this scene showing a tender act of love between a mother and a son. Incest is so common among animals and why should we people be deprived of it? Break the rules, watch this young boy fuck his mother�s pussy like there is no tomorrow. She is not young and she knows exactly what her boy wants and is ready to give it to him in exchange for hard pussy pounding by a young, throbbing cock of her son! Son�s love for his mother goes deep, a lot deeper that you�d normally think!

A woman walking across a US drawbridge was crushed to death after an operator raising the bridge for a boat to pass heard her screams and lowered it, accidentally trapping her between the two plates.
The woman was crossing the Boston bridge around noon when a bridge operator, not aware that she was on the bridge, began raising it for the boat in the Chelsea River.
The woman grabbed hold of one of the sides of the bridge and the operator immediately lowered it when he heard her scream, but she became trapped in between the plates and suffered massive trauma, police said.
''I couldn't see her, but I could hear her,'' witness Waldina Garcia, 47, told the Boston Globe.
''She was screaming and screaming and screaming.''
The woman, who wasn't identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators called her death on the Meridian Street Bridge, which connects Chelsea and East Boston, an accident.
The distraught bridge operator was taken to the hospital for evaluation, officials said.
Dot Joyce, a spokeswoman for Mayor Thomas Menino, told the Globe that the bridge operator was placed on unpaid leave pending results of the investigation.
She described that as standard procedure. Investigators told the Globe it wasn't clear whether the woman began crossing the bridge after warning lights and alarms were activated.
