ECB pledge support for Trott

By -
The England and Wales Cricket Board have pledged their full support to England batsman Jonathan Trott after he quit the current Ashes tour.
Trott was allowed to travel home after suffering a stress-induced illness, that had been troubling him for some time, with his return to Australia unconfirmed.
England have previously been hit by mental health issues in the midst of tours, with Marcus Trescothick pulling out of the 2006-07 Ashes and Michael Yardy withdrawing from the 2011 Cricket World Cup due to similar problems.
And ECB director Hugh Morris has detailed the extent of support that Trott can expect from the governing body.
"Mental health is something you can suffer from, whether you're a cricketer or you're working in an office," he is quoted bySky Sports.
"That's why we've spent a lot of time, money and energy in making sure we work with the Professional Cricketers Association to have a network in place for our cricketers - as and when they need it.
"I think we try to be as open as we possibly can about these issues. Yes, we've had issues in the past - and that's why we've set up the network we have, along with the PCA, to look after our players.
"We're aware of the schedules. We try to monitor the workload of our players, and we have the best possible network of consultants in place to support them.
"We take very, very seriously the health and welfare of our players - there's nothing more important than that - and we'll be providing that for anybody who is in need of it."

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
