We can talk about needles and beads and all sorts of things and no one rolls eyes or sighs from boredom (Like members of my family are wont to do)

For those of you with a good memory and those that follow uber geek news you may recall an agreement about a year ago where the Microsoft Bing search engine would start powering the Yahoo search results. The driver behind the agreement is to release the burden of Yahoo competing head to head with Google in search technology, allowing them to focus on what they do best; providing a content portal and selling ads. From Microsoft’s standpoint they are committed to making the investment in search technology and this provides another source of revenue and traffic for them

By now, you might have heard about the kerfuffle between Nature publishing and the University of California (also here, here, here, and here). Basically, the University of California has accused Nature of raising its prices for institutional journal subscriptions by 400%; the university system, which has significant purchasing power, has threatened a boycott that would not only forbid purchasing their journals, but would also forbid publishing and reviewing for Nature.

So I missed the last couple of freelance fitness posts. I’d like to say it’s because I was just sooooo busy hiking my ass off that there wasn’t time. But that would be a lie.

The World Bank has been engaging a wide variety of policy advocacy CSOs on the issues of access, rights, and financing of urban water and sanitation programs over the past five years. Of particular concern to CSOs have been the issues of water privatization, cost-recovery approaches, and lack of affordable water services for low income populations in Bank-financed water and sanitation projects. For its part, the Bank has welcomed this dialogue because it clearly shares with civil society the goal of extending universal coverage to the poor in developing countries and improving delivery effectiveness

The BP oil spill has devastated the Gulf of Mexico, pummeled the oil company’s market value, and created a lingering problem for the Obama Administration, which has been criticized for responding too cerebrally, without sufficient forcefulness or authenticity .

Paris is a mecca for cooks, and folks come here from around the world to stock up on French and specialty cookware. Many of the shops are clustered around the Les Halles area, where for many years restaurateurs shopped at the giant market there for produce and other comestibles, as well as professional kitchenware. Although the market is gone, many of those stores exist and you can make a day of shopping in the various stores

(Editor’s note: This post forms part of the month-long HBR Debate, “Finance: The Way Forward.” It is the first post on this week’s topic: “Do we really need banks — and what might take their place?”) Imagine for a moment that you did not have a bank account.
