Bank of England sees 'uncertainties' in recovery

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/img/editorial/2013/07/17/100892666-171621594.240x160.jpg?v=1384942007" width="600"/> Chris Ratcliffe | Bloomberg | Getty Images The Bank of England's (BoE) monetary policy committee (MPC) expressed 'uncertainties' over the durability of the U.K.'s economy recovery, minutes of its last meeting revealed on Wednesday. The committee also said there 'could be a case' for not raising the main interest rate when the country's unemployment rate hits 7 percent. The bank has previously given guidance that it would not consider raising the main interest rate (Bank Rate) from its current 0.5 percent until the jobless rate falls to this level. 'There were uncertainties over the durability of the recovery and the extent to which supply growth would keep pace with demand. There were also risks surrounding wage and price-setting,' the minutes said. ( Read more: BoE upgrades growth forecasts as recovery takes hold) 'With the proviso that medium-term inflation expectations remained sufficiently well-anchored, the projections for growth and inflation under constant Bank Rate underlined that there could be a case for not raising Bank Rate immediately when the 7 percent unemployment threshold was reached.' The minutes also revealed that all nine members of the MPC had voted to keep the main interest rate and bond-buying purchase target unchanged. They come amid an increasingly rosy picture of accelerating growth, falling inflation and a four-year low in unemployment in the U.K. Last week the U.K.'s central bank updated its growth, inflation and unemployment forecasts, raising market expectations that it could raise interest rates sooner than expected -- but not just yet. ( Read more: UK economy should beware 'weapons of mass distraction') In its latest quarterly Inflation Report, the bank also said the U.K. could see 7 percent unemployment as early as the last quarter of 2014, if interest rates stay low -- two years earlier than it had expected in August. However, it added that the unemployment rate was more likely to hit 7 percent at the end of 2015 or end of 2016, giving such predictions a 57 percent and 68 percent probability respectively based on market interest rates. </div>

New glimpses of Apple's 'spaceship' campus

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131119144629-apple-campus-horizontal-gallery.jpg" width="600"/><cite>Apple is planning an expansion of its corporate headquarters on a 176-acre plot in Cupertino, California -- a site that was once home to HP and Compaq. This rendering shows the spaceship-like main building, which has 2.8 million square feet and room for 13,000 employees.</cite> (CNN) -- At this point, there's a good chance you've seen pictures of Apple's proposed new headquarters - a 2.8-million-square-foot spaceship parked in a verdant man-made forest in the northeast corner of Cupertino. Since the first dozen or so renderings trickled out in 2011, however, we haven't gotten a much better sense of what all the new campus will entail or what it will be like to work there. Until now. Apple may be known for its secrecy, but buried in Cupertino's municipal archive is a wealth of detail on the project - including more than 20 previously unseen renderings of the new campus. In these images, we see for the first time the space port-like entrance to the development's subterranean parking lot, a cavernous cafeteria that spills into the grassy landscape beyond, and the glass pavilion that will serve as the entrance to Apple's new underground auditorium - a secure lair where press will gather for future product launches. <img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/111006053343-bts-jobs-cupertino-city-council-00013814-story-body.jpg" width="600"/><cite>Jobs' pitch for a new Apple campus</cite> In short, these documents give us the most complete picture of Apple's new home yet, a campus that Steve Jobs himself thought had a shot at being 'the best office building in the world.' Here's a peek at life in the mothership. The Mothership Apple Campus 2, which was approved by city officials last month, will sit on a 176-acre plot in the South Bay city of 60,000 - a site that was once home to HP and Compaq. If you're an Apple employee who drives to work, you'll enter the campus at a freshly constructed security point at North Wolfe Road, on the west edge of the site. The lucky ones will quickly be diverted into a discrete, futuristic tunnel, where a subterranean service road will give them access to a two-level, 2,000-space parking garage underneath the mothership itself. Otherwise, you'll have to wind your way to the south edge of the campus to the above-ground parking garage - a pair of emory board-shaped structures, clad with solar panels and foliage. 13 of the year's best infographics If you take advantage of Apple's shuttle buses from elsewhere in the Bay Area, you'll be dropped off at the 'Corporate Transit Center' on the eastern edge of the site. From there a walkway, flanked by two Apple Store-white staircases, will lead into the mothership itself. This massive donut of a building is the jewel of the campus. Designed by star architect Norman Foster, whose firm's well-known works include the bullet-shaped Gherkin in London and the restored Reichstag in Berlin, the four-story ring will put 13,000 engineers and designers under a single curving roof. It won't be the only place you'll find Apple employees on site - a cluster of buildings tucked away at the southern edge of the campus will be reserved for R&D. But the spaceship is definitely the main attraction, and from what we've heard so far it should be no less cutting-edge than any Apple gadget. In a video Apple presented to Cupertino city officials last month, Stefan Behling, one of the Foster and Partners architects working on the project, summed the building up as 'one of the most environmentally sustainable projects on this scale anywhere in the world.' Twitter founder reveals secret formula for getting rich online The plan is for the facility to run entirely on renewable energy, drawing largely from on-site fuel cell plants and rooftop photovoltaic arrays. Natural ventilation and radiant cooling mean that the spaceship won't need air conditioning for some 70 percent of the year. These green efforts are being overseen by Lisa Jackson, a recent addition to the company. If her name's familiar, there's good reason: Jackson headed the EPA for the Obama administration prior to joining Apple as environmental director earlier this year. The internal arrangement of the office is still something of a mystery, but it's already come in for some skepticism. Some architects have raised doubts about the wisdom of a stubborn circular floor plan at a time where more flexible, reconfigurable workspaces are in vogue. It's worth comparing Apple's new circular home to the other headquarters Jobs had a hand in designing. As Buzzfeed recently reported, Jobs was heavily involved in the layout of Pixar's campus, a 22-acre plot in Emeryville, California, that the studio has occupied since 2000. The best map ever made of America's racial segregation Most notably, Jobs insisted on a huge, central indoor meeting place known today as The Atrium. Looking at the floor plan for Apple's vast headquarters, it's hard to envision a single similar place where Apple's employees will naturally congregate. Still, the company insists that the floor plan is designed to promote collaboration. The inner and outer rims of each floor will be left open as walkways, allowing employees to circulate around the ring. 'At one point in the day you may be in offices on one side of the circle and find yourself on the other side later that day,' Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO, told the San Jose Mercury News last month. 'We found that rectangles or squares or long buildings or buildings with more than four stories would inhibit collaboration...We wanted this to be a walkable building, and that's why we eventually settled on a circle.' There's no doubt, though, that it will be a beautiful place to work. The renderings show a headquarters that borrows from the spartan aesthetic of the retail stores (whether or not they'll actually fly iPod Nano banners, as shown in one of the interior scenes, remains to be seen). We're about to lose net neutrality - and the Internet as we know it Employees will enjoy a massive 90,000-square-foot cafeteria carved into a section of the building, from which they'll be able to stroll to the parkland on both the inside and outside of the ring. After that, they can head to the on-site fitness center situated just north of the main building. Earlier this year, Businessweek offered a glimpse into some of the details of the undertaking, noting 'unprecedented' 40-foot floor-to-ceiling panes of concave glass that are being manufactured for the four-story facade. 'There isn't a straight piece of glass in the whole building,' Jobs boasted in his initial presentation. The mammoth structure didn't escape Jobs' fanatical attention to the smallest details, either. According to the Businessweek report, Jobs found the industry-standard 1/8 inch breaks between surfaces too unseemly and demanded that the gaps in his new headquarters be no greater than 1/32 inch across. As Behling, the architect, says in the presentation video, 'This project is pushing the boundaries of technology in almost every aspect.' Bringing California back to Cupertino In the company's own words, the new campus will offer 'a serene environment reflecting Apple's brand values of innovation, ease of use and beauty.' Despite the mothership's sustainable credentials, though, the greenest part of the development isn't even the building itself - it's everything surrounding it. The renderings show something that hardly resembles a corporate campus it all. What it is, really, is a huge park. Apple's proposals describe the future landscape as 'an ecologically rich oak savanna reminiscent of the early Santa Clara Valley.' Norman Foster says that Jobs wanted the campus to evoke the California of his childhood, one he 'still remembered...as the fruit bowl of America.' What it all means is that David Muffly, Apple's Senior Arborist, presumably has his hands full (yes, that's his real job title). This 98-year-old man spent 13 years creating remarkable art in MS Paint Muffly and the other landscape designers on the job have plotted the site down to the very last tree. Inside the main building, not far from a sizable fountain, workers will enjoy a cluster of Apple trees. Over by the entrance to the cafeteria, you'll find rows of cherries, plums, and apricot trees, with persimmons sprinkled just beyond those. More of the same will be found outside the ring, on the other side of the cafeteria, where employees will be able to dine al fresco in an area Apple's calling 'the glade.' A dense perimeter of trees will ring the site, serving as a visual buffer from prying eyes outside. Below the main building, there will be a vast lawn, stretching down to the auditorium and parking decks below. In fact, to make room for this continuous green space, Apple is erasing Pruneridge Avenue off the map entirely (a vestigial nub will remain as an access road for an apartment complex that sits stubbornly next to the site.) At a recent planning presentation with the city, Dan Whisenhunt, Apple's senior director of real estate and facilities, put this dramatic transformation into numbers. Today, the site is 20 percent landscape - the rest covered by buildings and asphalt. By 2016, when the new Apple campus is complete, it will be 80 percent landscape. Currently, the plot has some 4,500 trees; when Apple is done there will be 7,000. The idea, Muffly the arborist says, is to 'bring California back to Cupertino.' An underground auditorium The campus won't be exclusively for the enjoyment of its employees. Every few months, a select group of outsiders will be allowed in to visit a separate structure nestled among the wildlife: Apple's new corporate auditorium. Instead of meeting the press at a venue like the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Tim Cook has said that the intention is to summon reporters to its custom-designed auditorium for all future events. And from the look of things, it will be a nice place to see a product launch. Instead of a reality distortion field, the new 1,000-seat facility sits underneath an actual one, with a grassy runway leading up to the auditorium's glass entryway. Visitors will enter through this stark glass pavilion - it's topped with a saucer-like roof of its own - and descend into a subterranean theater for the main event. These are some of the most otherworldly creatures you'll find on Earth The auditorium's design isn't altogether unlike that of the Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York City - one that Steve Jobs reportedly sketched himself in its earliest stages. And by all accounts, Jobs was hands-on in the development of the new campus, too. In a presentation video, Foster recalls the genesis of the collaboration, when Jobs called the architect out of the blue one day in 2009. 'Hi Norman, I need some help,' Jobs said, and three weeks later they were meeting in person. 'One of the most memorable things and perhaps vital to the project was Steve saying, 'Don't think of me as a client, think of me as one of your team,'' Foster says. As with so many of Apple's products, the unique blend of vision and precise detail won't come cheap. Earlier this year, the Businessweek report put the project's budget at $5 billion and growing. And again, the wisdom of the design is up for debate: there's no telling if the ringed design floor plan will foster collaboration or stifle it. Still, a stubborn adherence to a singular vision is what gave us trailblazing products like the iPhone and the iPad. Maybe the formula will work for a headquarters, too. As Whisenhunt, the Apple exec, told the Cupertino officials in October, when it comes to the new campus, 'You can be sure that, following Steve's lead, we've used the same care and the same meticulous attention to detail we put into every Apple product.'

Deutsche Telekom nears sale of Scout24 – sources [ BeritaTerkini ]

<cite class="byline vcard">Reuters – </cite> <div class="yom-mod yom-art-content" id="mediaarticlebody"> <div class="bd"> FRANKFURT/LONDON (Reuters) – Deutsche Telekom is close to selling a 70 percent stake in its classified advertising business, Scout24, to private equity firm Hellman & Friedman for 1.4 billion euros ($ 1.89 billion), two people familiar with the talks said on Wednesday. The transaction values Scout24 at about 2 billion euros ($ 2.71 billion), including debt. “The deal could be announced in the coming days, but it has not been signed yet,” said one person. Hellman & Friedman would pay 1.4 billion euros for a 70 percent stake, the person added. Another person said Deutsche Telekom’s supervisory board would meet on Wednesday to decide on the sale. The sale comes almost a year after Deutsche Telekom said it would look at options for the cluster of internet portals including European car trading site AutoScout24. Deutsche Telekom and Hellman & Friedman declined to comment. Deutsche Telekom is looking for cash to fund the roll-out of a next generation mobile network, which can transport huge amounts of data, to cater for a growing number of customers who use smartphones and tablets. At the same time it is rolling out a glass fibre fixed network to offer superfast internet to compete against its cable rivals. It said in December last year it expected to invest almost 30 billion euros between 2013-2015. Deutsche Telekom is also evaluating its stake in British mobile operator EE, a joint venture with France Telecom.

Oklahoma State basketball: Cowboys own backcourt matchup

2:05 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Entering Tuesday night's showdown between No. 7 OSU and No. 11 Memphis, the game shaped up as a battle of two of the nation's top backcourts. One CBSSports.com ranking had the Tigers' guards at No. 1 as a group, the Cowboys No. 3. <img src="http://cdn2.newsok.biz/cache/w300-e540e284650c4294fc1afb133e0f4cdd.jpg" width="600"/>Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart (33) passes the ball around Memphis' Geron Johnson (55) during an NCAA college basketball game between Oklahoma State and Memphis at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013. Photo by Bryan Terry, The Oklahoman The Cowboys won the matchup - and the game - decisively. Marcus Smart outscored the Tigers' touted four seniors - Joe Jackson, Michael Dixon, Geron Johnson and Chris Crawford - by himself, with 39 points. Markel Brown added 20 more and Stevie Clark nine. And the Cowboys were essentially without Phil Forte, who played just four minutes due to a stomach bug. 'Just because everybody says they're the top-ranked backcourt in the country, we weren't going to stop playing our game,' Smart said. 'We wanted to show everybody that we're not backing down. 'They have some talented guys. Joe Jackson, Dixon - all of those guys are phenomenal guys, NBA prospect-type guys. They can really get down and play. But as a competitor, that's always going to motivate you.' Memphis' four premium guards combined to go 8 of 34 from the field, 0 of 8 from the arc. Dixon and Johnson each shot 1-for-10 from the floor. 'I've been saying it for a long time now,' said Memphis coach Josh Pastner, 'I believe for our team to be great - which I believe we can be great - all four senior guards I expect to be great. Tonight, I didn't see that coming, how they played. 'I didn't see that coming that they were all going to play ... not good.' ENJOY THE SHOW Smart made a second-half 3-pointer to give OSU a 64-43 lead, then looked over at the lanky fellow sitting courtside. Kevin Durant. No, Smart said, he wasn't issuing a challenge to the NBA superstar. 'I just wanted to see him enjoying the show,' Smart said. Durant did indeed seem to enjoy the show. And the Cowboys enjoyed Durant. 'That was crazy. Our coach actually told us that he asked to come,' Smart said. 'We were like, 'Kevin Durant, really? C'mon.' 'And then, we look on the front row, like they say, the UNLV Gucci Row, he's sitting there and I'm like, 'Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Am I dreaming?' I look at Markel (Brown) and say, 'Is that really Kevin Durant?' He said yeah and I'm like, 'Nah.' And I look and he's sitting right there. That was an amazing experience to be a part of. 'We saw Kevin Durant, we just wanted to go out and put on a show for him.' Mission accomplished. In Durant's only Gallagher-Iba Arena game, he scored 37 points in Texas' 105-103, triple-overtime loss to OSU. Tuesday night, Smart scored 39. PASTNER SALUTES SUTTON Former OSU coach Eddie Sutton was on hand for Tuesday night's game, seated midcourt in his customary spot. Earlier in the day, Pastner spent some time with the Cowboys legend, and enjoyed it. 'I had a chance to spend a couple of minutes with Eddie Sutton,' Pastner said. 'What a true gentleman. I tried to get osmosis from him and obviously it didn't work. 'I really hope he gets in the Hall of Fame, he deserves to be in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Not that I have any juice, because I don't, but he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and he's a good man.' QUOTABLE Pastner on the game: 'Oklahoma State, they kicked our butt. Bottom line. No other way to look at it.' UP NEXT: SOUTH FLORIDA The Cowboys get a few days off before heading to the Sunshine State for a week of play. It starts with a visit to South Florida on Monday, followed by three games in the Old Spice Classic in Orlando. </div>

Apple Inc. (AAPL) Rumored To Release Bigger iPad

1:37 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Rumor has it Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL) has even loftier ambitions than they've had in the past. A new report from The Korea Times detailed a purported a larger iPad tablet with a 12.9 inch Retina display which is set to debut next year. This mirrors another rumor from earlier this month which reported Foxconn was testing production of a larger tablet screen. The Wall Street Journal also did a similar report this past summer. <img src="http://ify.valuewalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Apple-ipad.jpg" width="600"/> Most notebook makers saw a sales decline in 2013 Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL) already offers the iPad in two sizes; adding a third size would give the company a distinctive edge. A larger tablet would be another step to replace laptops and ultrabooks including the company's MacBook lineup. Louis Bedigian for Benzinga pointed out declining MacBook sales as a possible bellwether. Computer shipments declined five percent during June quarter and fell an additional six percent by September quarter. And it's not just Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL); most notebook makers saw a sales decline in 2013. The Cupertino-based tech giant is not the only company with big plans for tablets in 2014. Samsung hopes to sell more tablets next year as well as tap into the education market, a segment which Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL) currently dominates. One security analyst explained, 'The tablet PC will greatly grow not only in the general consumer market, but also in the B2G market, e.g. electronic textbooks. In terms of market size, it seems that the touch screen panel industry will benefit the most from the expansion of the tablet PC market.' Apple is ready to transform the market once again The notion of tablets and mobile phones eventually replacing laptops is not a new idea. The current sale numbers give that notion even more weight. If the rumors are true that Apple will soon unveil a larger tablet, it could be a sign Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL) is ready to transform the market once again. A larger tablet has the possibility of capturing the attention of tech consumers, and give Apple a much-needed leg up to continue its market lead. </div>

Logitech PowerShell Turns iPhone Into Game Console: Hands On

1:37 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/S/0/410544/original/Powershell-main.jpg" width="600"/> Playing mobile games with touch-screen controls can be frustrating. More often than not, the on-screen buttons take up valuable display real estate that can hinder the overall gaming experience, especially on the iPhone's smaller, 4-inch display. Logitech hopes to eliminate this issue with its PowerShell Controller + Battery - a combination game controller and external battery for the iPhone 5, 5s and fifth-generation iPod Touch. The 4.2-ounce Logitech PowerShell is among the first iPhone-focused gaming controllers to launch since iOS 7 rolled out in September. Unlike previous versions of Apple's mobile software, iOS 7 comes with support for gaming controllers - a feature that Android has supported for quite some time. The $99.99 Moga ACE Controller is the only other iOS-compatible competitor at the moment. MORE: 10 Best Mobile Games for Hardcore Gamers Logitech tells us that the iOS app store hosts 300 apps with support for hardware controllers, and that number is growing. These apps include 'Lego Lord of the Rings,' ' Dead Trigger' and 'Bastion,' among others, as Pocket Gamer reports. The $99.99 iPhone accessory houses your idevice through a cutout in the middle, and it essentially feels like snapping your phone into a case. That being said, the controller felt surprisingly secure. We turned the controller over so that its backside faced up with the phone inside, and the iPhone didn't budge from its holster. PowerShell controls The PowerShell features a directional pad on the left side of the phone and action buttons on the opposite side. Left and right bumpers can be found along the top of the case, as well, and a pause button sits just below the action buttons. Logitech has included cutouts for the volume buttons and camera, so you won't need to remove your phone to adjust sound or to snap photos. The device is called the PowerShell Controller + Battery for a reason - a switch near the bottom allows you to use the PowerShell as a charger so that you don't drain your phone's battery. The case itself comes with its own 1500mAh battery so that it doesn't need to draw power from your iPhone or iPod Touch. MORE: Xbox One Review During our time with the Logitech PowerShell, we noticed that gameplay felt fluid and responsive. We used the action buttons to create combinations in ' Real Steel World Robot Boxing,' and our character executed our commands seamlessly with no lag. The case was the same when we played the casual classic 'Pac Man.' It was much easier to zip around tight corners using directional buttons than onscreen controls. The PowerShell's buttons sported a smooth, glossy texture similar to that of the Xbox 360 controller's buttons, and the build quality didn't feel cheap. Less joy without the stick However, we were slightly disappointed with the PowerShell's lack of analog control sticks. Using direction buttons is fine for platformers, fighting games and casual gaming, but certain titles such as 'Dead Trigger' would really benefit from controls that allow for panoramic viewing. Still, the PowerShell's minimalistic design makes it sleeker and less bulky than competitors such as the Moga ACE Controller. This means you can easily slip it into your bag, and it probably feels lighter than the Moga ACE while gaming. Overall, the Logitech PowerShell offers a smooth gaming experience, an attractive design and is capable of charging your iPhone on the go. But for $99.99 we'd prefer a controller that includes analog sticks, too. The Logitech PowerShell Controller + Battery is available for preorder via Best Buy and the Apple Online Store beginning today, and Logitech says it will be available through additional retailers in early December.

At baseline, the participants were free of stroke, cancer, and heart disease. Researchers examined the association with food questionnaires during an 11-year follow-up. The majority of participants were coffee and tea drinkers, and the results were impressive. A 7% reduction in mortality was seen for each additional cup of coffee ingested per day. Strong protection was seen in those who drank 4 or more cups of regular caffeinated coffee. Additionally, a 9% decreased risk of mortality was seen for each increased cup of tea per day.

It works by attaching Herceptin to a drug called DM1, developed by ImmunoGen, which interferes with cancer cell growth.

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/Bob-Dylan-s07.jpg" width="600"/> Rock legend Bob Dylan released a video for his 1965 hit 'Like A Rolling Stone' on Tuesday, nearly fifty years after the single's release.The new promo is a one-of-a-kind interactive video that gives users the ability to flip through numerous TV channels where all the people in the movies, shows, news programs, etc., all sing the lyrics to the song. The video coincides with the release of his new 47-CD box set (yes, 47): 'The Complete Album Collection Volume 1.'The video doesn't feature any four-minute love stories, silly costumes, crazy dancing, twerking or scantily-clad women, so unfortunately we probably see this instant classic nominated for any prizes at next year's MTV Video Music Awards.Check out the video at Bob's Official Site () and don't forget to flip through the channels and watch for a few celebrity cameos from the likes of Drew Carey. </div>
