The decline in sales during May, revealed in seasonally-adjusted figures from the Office for National Statistics, was much steeper than the 0.6% fall forecast by the City.

Food sales tumbled by 3.7% month-on-month - their biggest drop since June 2008. Non-food sales declined by 0.6%, with the household goods, clothing, footwear, and textiles, and department store categories all showing falls in volumes.

Its tragic maiden voyage has become shorthand for catastrophic hubris - the "unsinkable” ship that hit an iceberg and sank, causing the deaths of 1,503 passengers and crew. And yet in one corner of the UK, the Titanic is a byword not for disaster but a source of pride and nostalgia.

When its hull was launched at Belfast's Harland and Wolff shipyard on 31 May 1911, it was the largest ship in the world, measuring 886ft (270m) long.

And in Northern Ireland that's where the story ends, says Mick Fealty, editor of the news site Slugger O'Toole.

Richard Fisher on Boiler room management - with the current state of the economy, it is extremely important that you are fully aware of the ways in which you can make savings around your home, along with the steps you can take to ensure that you do not waste more money that you need to.

There are small steps that can be taken, such as turning off lights when leaving a room, or not leaving electrical devices on standby when they are not in use. Regarding heat loss, you can install draft excluders on your windows and doors, as well as making sure your house is properly insulated; insulation in cavity walls, as well as in ceilings can save many hundreds of pounds in heating costs over a long period of time.

The IMF described vulnerable European banks as being "caught in a maelstrom of interlinked pressures”, although it did say that global financial stability was returning to the world economy.

Of particular concern were major banks in Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

The results were published as part of the IMF's Global Financial Stability Report, which further added that countries saddled with sovereign debt problems, as well as vulnerable banks, were in significant danger of instability.

These countries include Portugal and Spain, which are both facing difficult debt crises.

According to the report, the world's banks face a US $3.6 trillion "wall” of debt, which will mature in the next two years.

"We could be back in this part of the world in 2013 trying to take that last step to Brazil (2014 World Cup finals) so we want another taste of that type of intimidating environment.”

The Oceania champions qualified for the 2010 World Cup finals by beating the fifth-placed Asian side Bahrain in a two-legged playoff but their route to the 2014 finals could be vastly different.

World governing body FIFA will conduct a draw determining whether the winner of New Zealand's Oceania group will play off against Asian, North American or South American opposition for a place in Brazil.

The match in Denver comes four days after Mexico face Ecuador in Seattle and will be their last warm up before they defend their CONCACAF Gold Cup title beginning on June 5, NZF said.

In the eight centuries from 1000-1800 AD the world's fish stocks and species numbers were stable and healthy. In the subsequent 200 years, 40% of the species in coastal waters collapsed, showing falls in their population by 90% or more.

There was a pattern to this story of decline. There was a much-less marked attrition in coastal regions with richly diverse marine ecosystems than in regions exhibiting low levels of diversity.



What does this have to do with economics? Quite a lot, as it happens. In recent years, as the limitations of the rigidly mathematical approach to economics have been exposed, there has been interest in what the dismal science can learn from biologists, ecologists, geneticists, physicists and psychologists.

The IMF is attempting to guide major economies like China and India - but after the Asian financial crisis of the last decade many Asian nations are reluctant to let the IMF guide them on managing huge flows of capital into their economies, saying it would hinder rather than help.

Long Yongtu is a Chinese government official who heads a G20 institution, the G20 Research Centre.

He told the BBC's Juliana Liu that Beijing is wary of interference from the G20 in its domestic economic policy, and is already taking steps to boost domestic consumption.

The starting point of the scam commonly appears with users finding themselves tagged in their online friends' photo albums.

Clicking to investigate further will lead to a link seemingly promoting a game based on the upcoming movie Twilight: Breaking Dawn. Other themes have also been seen, for example pictures of food sold at the Olive Garden restaurant chain, posted without permission of the eatery.

In reality, no Twilight game nor pictures are on offer. Would-be marks are simply encouraged to install a rogue application that earns scammers money by encouraging users to complete a worthless survey. Once granted permission, the rogue app messes around with a users' photo album and claims that the user "likes” the rogue app, among other things.

(Reuters Life!) - In what has become a too-familiar experience in Tokyo, a crowded subway train screeches to a sudden halt. From around the car, mobile phones start to ring.

The sound is an emergency earthquake warning from an iPhone app that lets subscribers know when the quake will come, where the epicenter will be located and how strong the shaking will be. Often, seconds after the phone rings, the shaking starts.



Following the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which have left nearly 28,000 dead and missing, Japan has been hit by hundreds of aftershocks of varying strengths.

The app called Yure Kuru, or shaking coming, was developed by RC Solution Co, a Tokyo-based firm that specializes in providing disaster-related information services, such as relaying warnings or letting people confirm the safety of friends and family.

The move comes after fresh claims made in a BBC Panorama documentary broadcast Monday, in which Eriksson said he was duped into signing for the lower league club.

The Financial Services Authority has passed over to the SFO an investigation into allegations that Russell King was behind the scam. The SFO investigates the country's most serious corruption cases.

"We are interested in it and will be making a decision on what to do when we have assessed all the information,” the SFO was quoted by the Financial Times.

King, who once served two years in jail for insurance fraud, was accused in last night's programme of being behind the Byzantine fraud.

The IMF report emphasizes the need to keep interest rates low in advanced economies like the UK in order to strengthen their recovery.

International Monetary Fund added that oil prices and inflation in emerging economies pose new risks to global recovery but are not yet strong enough to derail it.

Soaring costs for basic staples stoked the social and economic tensions that have roiled the Arab world. Street protests have toppled dictatorships in Egypt and Tunisia, and left leaders in Yemen and Libya fighting to cling to power.

The Fund said inflation pressures were likely to build in developing countries as people pushed for higher wages in the face of pricier food and fuel.

Roslynd Hadley is enough of a royalist that she's happily hosting a garden party Friday to celebrate the much-anticipated marriage of Prince William to his college sweetheart, Kate Middleton.

But Hadley is also enough of a businesswoman to know that, though the wedding may buoy people's spirits, it's no boon to her company. Since the British government declared Friday a national holiday in honor of the event, cancellations of bookings for the day have cost her busing firm about $22,000 in lost business.

So with that in mind, what about Wall Street itself? Does the financial system pass the test? That's the basic idea behind our series Economy 4.0: how to make the global economy, including the financial system, work better for more people. Our special correspondent David Brancaccio has been in Bretton Woods, N.H., the past couple of days for a series of meetings and conversations about exactly that topic.

DAVID BRANCACCIO: The setting of our conversation was a round table in the grand hotel where debate in 1944 led to the Bretton Woods Agreement, which defined the financial system coming out of World War II. Eighty-year-old George Soros, investor and philanthropist, was part of a new conference he helped sponsor in recent days on what was advertised as "new economic thinking.”
