Quotes

...FederalFederal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Bernanke But the die-hard baseball fan did manage to work in a reference to one of the sport's greats. "Is it true, then, as baseball player Yogi Berra "Nobody really knows; as Berra also astutely observed, it's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. But there are some good arguments on the other side of this debate." Bernanke delivers testimony on the U S economy on Wednesday before the congressional Joint Economic Committee. His words will be parsed for any hint that he favors tapering Fed bond purchases, currently running at an $85 billion monthly pace. But recent U S economic data has been mixed, and economists polled by Reuters continue to expect the bond buying to continue until later this year, if not into early 2014. Bernanke did not tip his hand during his comments to graduates, but he did offer some rare insights into his childhood home in Dillon, South Carolina "We had a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a dryer. My family owned a comfortable car with air conditioning and a radio, and the experience of commercial flight was much like today but without the long security lines," he recalled. There was no internet, but there was a color television "although, I must acknowledge, the colors were garish and there were many fewer channels to choose from." After pointing out that the so-called IT revolution had not been as transformative as all that, Bernanke then went on to outline several areas where technology may only have scratched the surface in exploiting the potential for change. He argued that IT and biotechnology have tremendous scope to improve healthcare - which absorbs a considerable amount of U S household income and where costs are projected to rise - as well as the potential for the development of cleaner energy. "As trade and globalization increase the size of the potential market for new products, the possible economic rewards for being first with an innovative product or process are growing rapidly," he said. "In short, both humanity's capacity to innovate and the incentives to innovate are greater today than at any other time in history." (Reporting by Alister Bull; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)"

Supt Martin Cleworth said: "Our thoughts this morning are with the family and friends of the young girl who lost her life. Specially trained police officers are providing support to them. "Our investigations into the cause of her death are at an early stage, and I would appeal for public help and support in progressing these. "I would also like to reiterate the message, and to young people in particular, around the dangers of taking any illegal substance." Anyone who has any information about the girl's death should call Warrington police on 101, quoting incident number 187, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
