Second arrest made in Indianapolis taxi driver shooting
Indianapolis Metro Police now have two people in custody in connection with the shooting of an Indianapolis Yellow Cab driver Monday night.
Landon Tompkins, 18, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in the shooting of cab driver Ricardo White.
Also, a 16-year-old male was arrested Wednesday morning after searching a home in the 2700 block of Fredonia Road. Police also seized four guns at the home after serving a search warrant.
Police say each teen shot White just before 11:00 pm Monday near 38th street and Guion Road.
Officers were called to the 3400 block of Sherburne Circle on the report of a person shot. When they arrived, they found the male cab driver with gunshot wounds. He was transported to Eskenazi Hospital in serious condition.
Surveillance video from inside the cab that shows the two suspects generated dozens of tips to Metro Police.
"This says a lot about our community and their willingness to work with the police department to solve problems. Our detectives received many calls from the public and from our officers; both provided valuable information which led to these arrests," IMPD Lt. Christopher Bailey said in a statement. "We hope these arrests provide some comfort to the victim, his family, and the city."
The juvenile suspect faces a preliminary charge of attempted murder and is being held at Juvenile Detention Facility.
"I just simply pray for the family, because I know they're going through some tough times," said Antonio White.
Even as his brother lies in a hospital bed recovering from gunshot wounds to the face and torso, White has sympathy for the suspects.
"He had been shot in the torso and an area of the face. And I can only imagine what the result of that would look like," Antonio White said.
But he has questions about what happened Monday night near W. 38th Street and Guion Road. Why the suspects, who stole nothing, would shoot his brother Ricardo, who he calls "Rick."
"I don't know anybody who would want to hurt my older brother Rick. He's not involved in any kind of drugs, gangs or any kind of violence whatsoever," said White.
The shooting Monday was the second apparent random act of violence his family has experienced in recent months.
Antonio says he's glad police have both men off the streets so they can't hurt others.
"I personally would like to forgive these two for what they did. Some people think of vengeance and hate. Hate doesn't help these situations at all. Really doesn't make anything better," he said.
On August 28, Antonio and Ricardo's younger brother was shot in the leg during a robbery near W. 26th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Two 17-year-olds were convicted in connection with that crime. In less than five months, two brothers were both victims of gun violence.
"Just to keep trusting in God to keep protecting us. Thank goodness no one is dead, my younger brother, he's going through physical therapy," explained White. "And for my older brother Rick, he will be healing up to normal soon."
Metro Police continue to receive tips about the second suspect, who remains at large. Indianapolis Yellow Cab is still offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of both suspects.
The surveillance video from inside the cab shows the two male suspects getting in.
One suspect asks, "What's up sir?"
The driver responds, "Not much. Where you all heading?"
The suspect replies, "Uh, 38th and Martin Luther King."
About ten seconds later, according to Yellow Cab administrators, at least two shots are fired. When police arrived around 10:45 Monday night near 38th and Guion Road at the entrance to an apartment complex, the 34-year-old driver was outside of the cab. Nothing had been taken.
"Frankly, I don't really know at this time, why or what the motivation," said Yellow Cab of Indianapolis Operations Manager Tim Neville. "At this point, what we look at is this is an act of violence...and a senseless act of violence at that."
The driver was dispatched to pick up the suspects, so it's unlikely they knew him.
"We know that someone out there is going to know these individuals," said Neville.
"They shot a good guy. Very good guy. Give you the shirt off his back," said neighbor and apartment manager Dave Williams, who has known the driver for about two years. "We've got elderly ladies living here. He'd take their groceries in. I mean, he even gave people rides in his cab, run them down to the store for free."
Yellow Cab installed surveillance cameras in each of its vehicles last year after several armed robberies. Now they hope the images captured last night will help capture two violent suspects.

"That's pitiful, man. They just need to be caught, whoever it is," said Williams.
We talked with some Indianapolis taxi cab drivers Wednesday morning. One driver didn't want to go on camera, but did say that the general sense is that Indianapolis is just as safe as any other city. He told Eyewitness News there is just an unfortunate risk at any point in time when driving a cab, with the greatest chance for trouble, coming at night. "The risk is always there," he says, "It's sad".
Police say detectives no longer need tips in this case. Callers who wish to share information should call Crime Stoppers of Indiana at 317-262-TIPS (8477). Callers may also text "INDYCS" plus tip information to 274627 (CRIMES).

Category: boys' names that start with A
A is hands-down the most popular first initial for baby names. Maybe that's because parents know that children whose names start with A may do better in school (yes, really) or because A simply has an innate tendency to come in first.
You can find an A-starting name to love whether you favor popular names or those that are highly unusual, whether you want a traditional name or one that's more contemporary. We've pulled a wide array of A names to showcase the possibilities.
A names – those that start with the letter A – have become the most widely used in the U.S., given to over 10 percent of all babies, more than double the proportion of children who were given A names in the 1950s.
You can peg the popularity of A names to pure fashion, and definitely, A names ranging from the classic Abigail and Alexander to the trendy Addison and Aiden have been on the rise for a couple of decades now. While this may be part of an overall trend toward vowel names, which are up across the board while most consonant-starting names are trending down, A is up the highest.
But there's evidence that A names may be beneficial for your child in more substantial ways. A study by researchers at Yale and the University of California-San Diego found that students whose names begin with the letters A and B earn better grade point averages than those whose names start with C or D. And more law school students named Anna and Andrew tend to go to top-ranked universities like Stanford than those called Chris and Drew.
Even more significant, another study suggests that people with A names live longer – in some cases, as much as a decade longer – than those whose names start with the letter D. Scary, but compelling if you want to give your child every advantage in life.
A names account for 20 entries on the girls' Top 100, up from only five (Ann, Anne, Anna, Anita, and Alice) in 1950. They are, in order of rank with their standing in parentheses, for girls:

Matthew 14:22-33
Consider this...
Peter, when he saw Jesus, stepped out from the boat and walked on the water. His trust was in Jesus. Peter got out of the boat and he did not sink. That is, until he took his eyes off Jesus. He allowed his fear of the waves and wind around him to distract him, and he started to sink. How often do we feel that we are sinking below the waves? What distractions do we need to lay aside?
God longs for us, like Peter, to reach out in faith. As Peter sank, he called for help and Jesus reached into the water, pulling Peter from beneath the waves. How often, when fears and anxieties crowd in on us, do we take out eyes off Jesus and feel that we are sinking?

Glances at Saki, she says, "Which is very unlike SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE." Saki's friends angrily say that Azumi [guesswork from 明日美] is nitpicking. They tell Saki not to mind her for she only wants to show off that's all. Saki angrily mutters that she doesn't mind.. Her family is staying at a rundown neighborhood. When she was staying here when she was young, she doesn't think that there is any problem with it but right now, thinking of it, it is really humiliating because for her to live in this kind of place, she cannot call out to her friends to hang out there. Just then, a young boy, together with friends, calls out to Saki and if junior class is dismissed. Saki calls him Itsuki [guesswork from 樹] not to call her Saki but rather, he should call her sister, okay. Itsuki happily says that he and his friends are going to play hide and seek so she also come and play, okay. He tells her that anyway, she isn't doing anything. Irked that here he goes again, Saki shouts hide and seek, is he kidding for she is— And soon, she ends up joining the hide and seek game. Hiding at some grassy area, Saki thinks that she also wants to stay at a beautiful house and have a Western-style courtyard. "It is good if I can stay in such an amazing place...
...If that is really no good, then at least, stay at a place where people won't laugh at.. *notices Itsuki hiding in front of her behind some trash cans* That guy is really stupid to death. Hiding in a place where he can be found out in a short while." Someone is calling out, '"One- Two-" Saki thinks that it has started and very good, everyone is hiding. Then, she becomes surprised for everyone who joined the game are hiding so who is the oni who'll come to look for them. Saki is startled when someone passes by her. Thinking that she'll be found out, she quickly closed her eyes and kept quiet. Then, she opens her eyes again when nothing happened. The game is interrupted when Saki's mother claps her hands and calls out that it is enough, time to go home and eat, everyone go home now. Saki turns to the trash cans and tells Itsuki that they go back. She is surprised that no one is there. In section 1-A, everyone is talking about Saki's younger brother had gone missing and he must have been kidnapped. Azumi says that it is that neighborhood and in that kind of old neighborhood, the public safety is definitely not good. "Even if you beat me to death, I won't live in that kind of place." As Saki's friends try to comfort her, Saki thinks that they did everything to look for Itsuki but they still couldn't find him. "He is obviously in front of me, and I can see him.. *recalls smiling Itsuki* It is good if I had always kept an eye at him!!"
While walking home after school, she notices some kids playing jakenpon to decide on who is the oni before going to play hide and seek. Saki wonders who the oni was at that time. She looks surprised then she quickly runs off. Calling Itsuki's friends to ask them, they tell her that they didn't know who the oni was. Saki finds this strange for how come no one remembers who the oni is, and who was the one who wanted to play hide and seek. The administrator of the building asks if it is Onigo-sama [literally means demon child] and it is possible that Itsuki was taken by Onigo-sama. He explains that no long ago, he recalls that a child went missing in this place and because of that, he heard that everywhere nearby, the family would establish a small shrine to pray. Saki couldn't believe this for she never heard that there is that kind of small shrine around here. Saki returns home to see her mother preparing some missing posters for Itsuki. She tells her mother that if they did not live in this kind of neighborhood then this wouldn't have happened. Her mother looks at her and says that both Saki and Itsuki were born and grew up in this place. Besides, she really likes this place. Her mother tells her not to be like that and just wait for Itsuki to come back. She says that it is fine for Saki to smile and welcome Itsuki. Saki wipes her tears and says okay.
To her surprise, her mother says that when Saki was young, this type of thing also happened. At that time, Saki didn't return home the whole night and on the second day, she came back. When she asked her where she went, Saki answered her that she played hide and seek, and then she would even shout out that she's amazing for no one was able to find her. Saki thinks hide and seek, and it might be Onigo-sama. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. It is a few minutes past midnight. At the courtyard, it is already 12:10am. Saki has decided to definitely bring Itsuki back. She takes a deep breath and shouts, "Onigo-sama, let's play hide and seek together. If..if until dawn you weren't able to find me, then that means you lose..at that time, you'll fairly go back inside the shrine." Everything is quiet. Saki thinks that if Onigo-sama is real, then at that time, the one whom she played hide and seek with is that person. "If everything went smoothly, it is possible that I'll be able to find Itsuki.." Then, she hears someone saying, "One- Two-" Saki turns around and wonders where the voice came from. Then, the voice continues, "Three.. Four.." Saki becomes nervous and thinks could it be that it is..real.. She quickly runs back to her house and knocks on the door. She calls out to her mother.
Saki turns the door knob and is shocked that the door cannot be opened so what is she to do. She knocks harder and calls out to her mother to quickly get up and open the door!! "Mama.." The voice continues to count, "Eight.. Nine.." Scared Saki thinks that she is calling out loudly yet no one is waking up. "Mama.." Then, the voice says, "Ten-- Are you finished hiding?" Hearing the voice behind her, trembling Saki summons up her courage and look behind. Then, she quickly runs off. She wonders what to do, what to do, she has to hide..in a place where she'll absolutely won't be found. Then, she sees the trash can where Itsuki hid. It is already 12:30am. After hiding, Saki thinks that it is alright, she had hidden in a place where it won't find her.. The full moon shines brightly up the night sky. She thinks that there is no sound at all from outside and perhaps, it has already given up. She takes a peek outside to see a rugged looking girl with messy hair, carrying a doll. She asks, "Are you finished hiding?" Saki sits back in surprise and made a sound. Onigo looks at a trash can and smiles. Saki thinks, no..I beg of you..!! "Papa, Mama..Itsuki.." Onigo pulls up the trash can's lid and it is empty. Saki looks up and sees Onigo looking at the empty trash can. It turns out that Saki is hiding on the cabinet stand with a blanket over herself. The cabinet is behind the trash cans. Saki looks really scared as Onigo is quietly walking away.
Soon, it is dawn. Saki looks at Onigo and sees her disappear. Saki wonders if that is for real. She removes the blanket and shouts, "I win! (I'll definitely find that shrine and it is highly possible that Itsuki is inside) This time..it's my turn to be the oni..!!" Saki starts running all over the place while thinking that she'll definitely find Itsuki. Then, she seems to have bumped on some construction materials. Saki looks up and sees the small shrine with an open lock. She thinks that it is this place. She opens the door of the shrine and shouts, "Itsuki, are you here!?" She is surprised to see an old Japanese doll inside. And, on the morning of that day, she and Itsuki were found unconscious by the garbage collector in front of the shrine. Itsuki tells his relieved mother and friends that when he woke up, he noticed that he and Saki are sleeping together and he doesn't know what had happened. Saki looks at their family picture and smiles. Later on, two locks are put on the shrine and some monks prayed to it. Back at school, Azumi is telling others that it is better for the neighborhood to be demolished because for that kind of thing to happen, it is definitely cursed. Saki's friends say that Azumi is at it again, and tell Saki not to mind it.
To their surprise, Saki laughs and says that it is okay!! Saki thinks that even if she is almost frightened to death by it, but she still really likes that neighborhood because her family is there. Going to her house, Azumi says that Saki is just acting brave and her house is what they call safe since there is added neighborhood security here and it is guarded by a small shrine. A boy calls out to Azumi, his sister, that she's home. He informs her that everyone will be playing hide and seek in a while so she should come and join them. Azumi says that she cannot refuse him and afterwards, he'll treat her to some ice cream. And, at some other shrine, the lock opens and reveals an old Japanese doll. Yomi narrates, "If she finds you, it is very possible that she'll bring you to that side of the world. It is truly a terrifying game. When playing hide and seek, remember to confirm whether you know the person you're playing with or not. If you run into a game wherein you don't know who is the oni, then, you better be careful. *someone calls out if they have finished hiding* Ah, at this time, I have to hide because a scary oni is coming. *about to hide behind the curtains* This lesson is up to here, see you again in the next class."
Comment: Somehow I think those two are two different dolls based on their kimono's design. Those shrines with dolls are probably scattered all over the place and will come out when some kids are going to play hide and seek. Researching this a bit, it seems that in Japan, there is a 'play hide and seek alone'. They use some ritual to call some spirit to go into a doll to play hide and seek with. It has a lot of rules and stuff like one has to be alone, it can only be played at a limited time or the spirit won't leave the doll especially if it is human-like. Somehow, I think that these dolls are the remains of that game ritual that have gone wrong. Maybe the doll it is carrying is around was its summoner, and now, it cannot resist playing hide and seek with others. I guess Saki survived because she is a good kid. Even if she is annoyed and everything with her younger brother, but she still did what she had do to bring him back. I wonder if she is really brave and determined to get him back or she just didn't realize from whom she is going to get her brother back. She also realizes that the place where one lives isn't important but rather the family she is with. ^^ Scans by 离境汉化组

- Every once in a while, it's fun to be reminded of how little it takes to turn the conservative blogosphere into a tinfoil-clad loonypoon orgy. CNN ought to start doing this kind of thing intentionally, because when it's so easy to fuck with people, might as well pop some corn and enjoy the view. (Utter Nutter)
- Here's one of those tips for living a long and happy life you ought to write down and keep with you: do not fuck with Allen Iverson's posse. They got cross at Eyebar and basically laid waste to everyone within pipe-swinging distance. Hoya saxa, bitches! (The Reliable Source)
- Oh, the sad and sorry tale of the Washington Nationals. It took DC's leaders until, like, yesterday, to notice the striations and ligature marks that have adorned their anal cavities from the first day they decided to give MLB carte blanche to their backsides. Oh, I do so hate to say I told you so--oh, wait...no I don't! Hee. But look, I'm in good holiday spirits, so I'm going to provide the solution to all this. First: build the stadium, but abandon all the fancy plans for it. Scrap the architectural marvel and think in bare, utilitarian terms. If you're gonna float a bond, keep the cost under the budget for once in your lives. For starters, we are talking about the mere Washington Nationals, here, so it's totally safe to take the seating figure you have in the plans and shave a nice clean 10,000 seats right off the top. Hey! That puppy will at least look like it's close to full when the nice people at home see the game on TV! Second--and this is most important--you folks who make decisions in the city made a crucial tactical error when you entered into this little dance with the MLB: you allowed yourself to be infected by the same sweaty, dry-heave inducing desperation of all those area baseball fans who can't live their lives without a baseball team in Washington. Going forward, you have to stop thinking of yourselves as good guys who want to make area baseball fans happy--instead, take a page from those that schooled you and adopt Major League Baseball's monopolist, predatory footing as your own. You may be left cramped and bowlegged by Bud Selig, but you've got probably 10,000 fans in the area that are just as scared they'll have no team to support today as they had last year. You have those people right where you want them--so exploit them. Let's start with the issue of the parking lot, just as an example. You ought to have a sizable parking lot, but make it city-owned and the prices to park in that lot should be marked up as high as you can get them. The ideal threshold is one dollar below the level that people just give up their season tickets. Force those that want to drive to the game to park in your lot--fifteen blocks out in every direction, enforce residential permit only on game days in the residential areas and two-hour parking in the commercial districts, busting scofflaws with full force--or take Metro. Since a great many people commuting to the game live outside the District, guess what? I just invented your commuter tax. For these baseball fans, having a team in the District has been a life or death thing--so from an economic standpoint, your position should be to keep them alive as expensively as possible. Get into this predatory mindset now, ladies and gentlemen, these opportunities do not come around that often. Once you start down the path, you'll come up with any number of great ideas to separate Nationals fans from their coin. Let yourselves go! (Washington Post)
- When it comes to proffering sexual favors for panda tickets, ladies, follow one simple rule: verify up front that you're gonna walk out of there with your Butterstick before you start churning his. (Wonkette)

Guardian of the Storms Trilogy: Book One-Anixa
Anixa is a seventeen year old girl who is half mermaid and half human. She had to leave her home in the ocean for high school in California becuase there's trouble brewing. Big trouble. Anixa thinks she can get by as a human until the trouble at home dies down. But she didn't expect falling for the guy that sits next to her in Mr. Kingston's class. And if she thought she could get by as a human, well she was wrong. Just when things are seemingly normal, a visit from an old "friend" stirs things
Anixa squared her shoulders and walked in. Everywhere she turned was chaos, a mess of students. She sighed. She still didn't understand why she had to go to high school when she already knew everything she would learn here. Anixa turned and headed down the hallway to the main office. So much for all schools being different. She thought as a group of guys whistled at her from a corner. Quickly, she pulled open the door and walked to the desk. An old woman with white hair swept up into a bun and small glasses perched on the edge of her nose sat busily typing and just barely looked up when Anixa walked in.
"Is this where I get my schedule?"
The woman looked up. "And you are?"
Anixa readjusted the strap on her bag. "My name's Anixa Maelstrom."
The woman looked hard at Anixa. "So you're the new girl? Well good luck here, and remember, we take education here very seriously, so don't cause any trouble."
Anixa nodded, grabbed her schedule and turned to go.
"Anixa, one more thing. Welcome to Oceanic High."
Anixa nodded and walked out. She glanced at her schedule and started walking off towards the back of the school.
Adam was leaning against his desk, surrounded by his usual group of friends. Adam listened as they continued to talk about last night's party.
The bell rang and the teacher, Mr. Kingston, walked in. "I expect you all did your homework last night, as you will have a quiz over all the material on it in five minutes. I suggest you use this time to study."
The class groaned, and a few pulled out papers and began to study. Five minutes too soon, Mr. Kingston began passing out the quiz. Just a couple minutes into it, the door opened and a tall girl with long wavy red hair walked in. She walked over to Mr. Kingston's desk and whispered something to him. He nodded and pointed to the only open seat in the class, the one next to Adam. The girl slowly walked down the aisle and sat down, aware that all eyes in the class were on her. She quickly sat down, tucked her hair behind her ear, and pulled out a sketchpad. Adam kept looking up at her, finding it hard to concentrate on what he was doing. Soon, he completely gave up and stretched. Casually, he glanced at her sketchpad, trying to see what she was working on. She slowly looked up and met his gaze. She gave him a flicker of what could've been the start of a smile and then resumed working.
She looked up again. "What?"
"My name's Adam, it's nice to meet you. Very nice to meet you."
She nodded slowly. "And my name's Anixa."
"Well then, Anixa, I haven't seen you around here before. You new here?"
Anixa nodded again and returned to her sketch. Adam sighed. It was going to be hard to talk to her.
"Where from?"
Anixa smiled. "Far away."
"Mr. Holmes, unless you wish to take a zero, I suggest you stop talking to Miss Maelstrom."
Anixa laughed to herself and continued drawing.
After the class was done, Mr. Kingston started lecturing on the marine ecosystems. Some students were sleeping or daydreaming, while very few were actually listening. Adam looked over at Anixa again to see that she was still sketching. He pulled a piece of paper out of his notebook and started writing on it, then folded it up and passed it to Anixa. She read it, slowly looked up, glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and shook her head. This interaction hadn't gone unnoticed by Mr. Kingston.
"Miss Maelstrom, I see my lecture is boring you and Mr. Holmes. Well if the two of you can answer my question, then I won't write you up."
Adam looked at Anixa. She smiled at Mr. Kingston and closed her sketchbook.
"Actually Mr. Kingston, I think you're absolutely right. California should take more pride in its beaches, as they are one of the main factors in the tourism business, and the waters are becoming far too polluted. And you're right, if no one starts cleaning up the beaches, we definitely would see a drop in marine life. Personally, I think that we should go and clean up the beaches. Maybe if we started on it, others would join in. We could lead by example."
Mr. Kingston's jaw dropped, but he quickly recovered his composure. "Miss Maelstrom, that is an excellent idea. If you keep up this kind of thinking in my class, the semester should be very easy for you."
Anixa nodded and glanced out the window and longingly looked towards the water.
After class, Adam ran to catch up to Anixa. "Thanks."
She looked at him. "For what?"
"For that answer. It was pretty convincing, but you weren't serious."
Anixa stopped walking and faced him."Adam, I was being dead serious. I love the water and think we need to keep it all in balance."
She turned away and walked towards her next class, leaving Adam standing there, dumbfounded.

Apparently, US rappers Spooks don't mind the Fugees comparisons. Since the latter have shown little inclination to return to the studio, the former will have to put up with the tag for a while yet. The Fugees' formula is not a bad one to copy: mix Lauryn Hill's spunky voice with consciousness-raising rapping and cleverly chosen cover versions to sell truckloads of records.
Spooks followed the template but avoided the temptation to reheat old hits. Their debut album, S.I.O.S.O.S (Spooks Is On Some Other Script), was intelligent and laid-back and it provided two hit singles. The four MCs (Water Water, Hypno, Mr Booker T and Vengeance) trade rhymes with the fluency, but not ferocity, of the Wu-Tang Clan, while charismatic singer Ming Xia adds words and vocal stylings. It's coffee-table hip hop for those who enjoy urban rhymes cleansed of profanity and visceral imagery.
Onstage, however, Spooks keep it real. The four rappers show they can strike a pose and throw hand shapes with the best of them. Tonight's muddy PA, which relegates Ming Xia to a bit player, is partly responsible. Poor Ming looks like she's in the wrong band; her voice isn't powerful enough to cope with the poor PA or her fellow band members.
The subtlety of S.I.O.S.O.S is replaced by pounding funk, supplied by their band, Blueside, who are so brusque you long for the occasional flourish. Spooks' energy levels can't be faulted but what they need is less verve, more style. 'It's nothing at all like the album,' says the woman standing next to me. She's right.
Predictably, attractive young women keen to boogie with the band soon invade the stage when invited to do so by the MCs. It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to work out what's happening now. A couple of them clearly like the attention; it takes a security man's beefy arm to guide them gently offstage.
It's doubtful whether these dancers are old enough to remember when Spooks' special guest ruled the airwaves, but Public Enemy's Professor Griff still gets a warm reception. The contrast between Spooks and Public Enemy is striking. While both bands share similar political concerns, PE's strident lyrics were matched by an imposing stage presence. In comparison, the cautionary message of 'Things I've Seen', 'The Mission' and 'Karma Hotel' is gentler stuff. Spooks have more in common with Macy Gray. Like Gray, Spooks made it big over here before their career took off in the States. And, like Gray, their crossover sound lacks the rough edges that would make them truly exciting. Maybe they just tried too hard tonight. Anxious to avoid accusations of being 'soft', Spooks went too far the other way.
There is another comparison to be drawn with the Fugees. Lauryn Hill's incendiary London shows a couple of years ago fused slick and soul. True, she was backed by an impeccable 18-piece band, but unshackled from the Fugees, albeit in front of a worshipful audience, her shows were the real thing.
Predictably, the talk at the after-show Spooks party was of how long it would be before Ming herself went solo. Such chatter, of course, provides the unspoken judgment - good, but not good enough.

After some considerable thought, I now have the answer. My boys are going to become economists. Allow me to explain.
Recently I read an article written by an economist in a creditable national daily that I would like to share with you. Choice among the jewels of advice she espoused were; pay off your credit card without taking up the credit option and switch your current account to a bank that offers a higher rate of interest!
Now I have stated in this column many times already that financially I am a complete dolt. I like to call myself numerically dyslexic, but officially I am mathematically thick. However, even I know that avoiding interest on the credit card is the smart move. And the advice about the bank account is entirely pointless, because the only people who don't do this already are the same people who for whatever reason aren't allowed bank accounts.
It's because finance is so baffling that makes being an economist such a safe option. It nestles down comfortably with psychiatry and astrology as a profession where getting it patently wrong is just not a problem - and also, rather wonderfully, seems to have no adverse affect on their professional standing whatsoever.
For instance, none of the brilliant minds that manage our pension funds foresaw the huge downturn in the stock market.
Some economists tell us that the housing market is about to collapse, others talk of robust growth for the coming year. The only indisputable fact is that none of them actually know anything at all with any certainty, but it doesn't matter because they are never held to account anyway.
Football pundit Ron Atkinson tipped Liverpool to win the Premiership this season and each Saturday night he is reminded of his howler in front of millions of smug football fans who knew better all along. Doctors get struck off, barristers disbarred, and novelists pulped, but economists have a job for life. They are the untouchables.
And because I would extend this slight to include many financial journalists as well, (the Jobs & Money editor an exception, clearly) I feel duty bound to offer some financial advice of my own, having been so disparaging of theirs. My advice is simple. Invest your money safely. Avoid the risky lure of spectacular returns; go for an investment that cannot lose its value. This is why I have put all my spare cash in to buying not shares, but thousands of penny chews. Cola cubes, fruit salads, you know the kind, because a penny chew cannot become less valuable, it's impossible. And because it also makes me an incredibly popular dad, I figure I'm sorted for my old age as well. So it's an investment and a pension all in one. Sweet eh!

Newly qualified vets, VNs and their employers can now access more than 35 online CPD resources for free from the BSAVA.
The Professional Development Phase (PDP) Resource Bank – launched in May to match the PDP requirements of the RCVS – helps graduates to develop professional, business and technical skills.
Support is also available to employers trying to advance new team members.
Common concerns
A BSAVA survey of graduating members found the most common CPD concerns were client consults and client communication, as well as maintaining a work-life balance that fits the individual as they start in practice.
The new resources – available at www.bsava.com/pdp, cover general professional skills and include:
- articles
- podcasts
- webinars
- videos
- web links
Timings, meanwhile, run from 15 to 90 minutes.
Expansion plans
The PDP Resource Bank will expand further next spring, introducing practical and clinical skills with an emphasis on emergency and critical care.
BSAVA academic director Frances Barr said: "The PDP Resource Bank will help the whole practice – from supporting and appraising new graduates, to coaching and mentoring staff teams – all aimed at developing an ethos of reflective learning and CPD, alongside veterinary expertise.
"We have spent a lot of time talking to new graduates and their employers, and we have worked closely with the RCVS postgraduate deans to produce the most relevant and useful resources possible."
The BSAVA has set up an editorial board made up of employers and new graduates to guide and develop future resource expansion.

Mad Catz to Produce M.O.J.O. Android Gaming Console

Mad Catz console to compete against Ouya
There were a lot of people who are really excited when the Android-powered gaming console
turned up on Kickstarter
called the
. The $99 device has seen several delays in its efforts to come to market, but fans are still clamoring for a small and cheap game console that puts Android games and applications on a big-screen TV in the living room.
Gaming peripheral maker Mad Catz is now talking up its own Android-powered game console called Project M.O.J.O. and the company says it will be the most powerful Android-powered game console out there. While all of the hardcore details aren't available at this time, the device is believed to use
NVIDIA Tegra 4 SOC
. That assumption is made from some things that Mad Catz CEO has made concerning the device.
Mad Catz CEO Darren Richardson said, "Like everything else we do, M.O.J.O. is all about performance."
Richardson added:
M.O.J.O. is an android micro console configured to extract the maximum horsepower from an android device to deliver the best gaming experience. It's basically a supercharged smartphone, with no screen, that plugs into your flatscreen TV and is designed to interact seamlessly with our GameSmart controllers, mice, keyboards and headsets; In fact the entire ecosystem of gaming products. We also want M.O.J.O. to be a truly open platform. People are already comfortable buying games from Google Play, Amazon, TegraZone or any other retailer of their choice. They play those games on their phones and tablets already, and with M.O.J.O., they will be able to play them in the living-room at no additional cost. The same approach applies to movies, music and any other digital media. Our focus is on products providing the best hardware configured for performance, not forcing people to buy content from us.
The game console will be unveiled at E3 next week. There is no indication of exactly how much the device will cost, but speculation is that the M.O.J.O. will come in at less than $150.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Cervical cancer refers to a malignancy of cervical cells. Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of this kind of cancer; however, in certain cases, no symptoms are seen until the cancer reaches an advanced stage.

With the US technology market Nasdaq slumping 3.1% on Thursday - its worst day since 2011 - there were no prizes for guessing the day's big fallers elsewhere.
The FTSE 100 has dropped 63.42 points to 6578.55, with chip designer Arm leading the way down. Arm has lost 41p to 963p while rival Imagination Technologies has lost 10p to 202.1p, one of the biggest fallers in the mid-cap FTSE 250.
Software group Sage is down 11.4p at 387.8p while set-top box maker Pace has fallen 20.6p to 415p. Rebecca O'Keeffe at Interactive Investor said:
With technology earnings multiples double those of other sectors, questions are increasingly being asked about whether growth prospects justify these lofty valuations. While valuation metrics are not yet in the same league as previous technology bubbles, investor sentiment appears to have turned for the worse. The knock-on impact has seen markets fall aggressively as anxious investors run for cover.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK, said:
After a two day Fed induced rebound on Wednesday normal service was resumed on US markets yesterday as the fears that had prevailed in the early part of this week and the end of last week about elevated and unrealistic valuations returned with a vengeance as US stocks gave up all of their Tuesday and Wednesday gains, and came crashing back down to earth with their worst one day performance in two months, while the Nasdaq had its worst day since 2011.
Finally it appears that markets are looking past the froth of unrealistic valuations and starting to adopt a "show me the money" approach.
The listed dotcom businesses - including some recent arrivals - are also being hit hard. Asos is down 140p at £43.80, Just Eat has lost 10p to 240p, AO World is off 6.5p at 273.5p and Boohoo has dropped 3.5p to 50.25p.
There were also further worries about a slowdown in China following Thursday's disappointing export figures, with weaker than expected inflation data. On top of that, of course, there is the continuing tensions in Ukraine, with talk of further troop movements by Russia and threats to cut off the country's gas supply.
Supermarkets, under pressure recently on concerns about price wars as the discounters taking market share from the big four, have recovered some of their losses. Morrisons is up 2.4p at 199.7p while J Sainsbury has added 1.3p to 310.9p.

At its December meeting, the Law Society Council passed the Solicitors' Investment Business Rules 1995 (SIBR). These rules have won the approval of the Master of the Rolls and will come into force on 1 June 1996.
One of the purposes of the new rules is to simplify the wording and make it easier for users to pick a path through what is undoubtedly a fairly complex set of regulations.
Consequently, practitioners who conduct non-discrete investment business will be able to refer to Chapter 5 for a list of compliance requirements while discrete investment business practitioners will need to refer to Chapter 5 and Chapter 6.
Many of the principles embodied in the SIBR 1990 survive the change. But there are also some amendments brought in by the 1995 rules and this explains the delays in their introduction – to allow firms to make the necessary adjustments to compliance procedures.
Application for certification from the Law Society
The SIBR 1995 confirm the amendments which took effect on 1 November 1995. Firms will be issued with either Category 1 certificates, which will prohibit them from conducting discrete investment business, or Category 2 certificates which, subject to the rules, will allow them to conduct discrete investment business. Where a firm has a Category 2 certificate, any discrete investment business must be conducted under the direct supervision of a principal or employee who has an approved financial services qualification.
Definition of discrete investment business
The definition of discrete investment business remains much the same as under the 1990 rules. In most cases where firms wish to avoid discrete investment business they will show the business is incidental to other services or use a permitted third party.
But under SIBR 1990, the incidental exception was generally not available where the investment concerned was a "specified" investment. This is replaced in SIBR 1995 by the term "packaged product", which is defined as "a life policy, a unit in a collective investment scheme, or an investment trust saving scheme".
The definition of permitted third party has also changed. A permitted third party is defined as "an authorised person…but in relation to packaged products [the definition] does not include a life office or an operator of a regulated collective investment scheme or investment trust savings scheme, their appointed representative or a member of their marketing group".
The change is represented by the additional words included at the end of that definition. This ensures independently authorised persons cannot act as permitted third parties for packaged products where they are members of, for example, a life office's marketing group.
A further change to the definition of discrete investment business provides for an exception where the transaction is "execution only". The SIBR 1990 only permits solicitors to avoid discrete investment business for "execution-only clients" where, for example, an arrangement was made for the acquisition or disposal of a specified investment. The new rules refer to "execution-only transactions" (not "clients") and extend the scope of the exception to all types of investments, not just specified investments.
The definition of "discretionary management" has been simplified in the rules. It will be discrete investment business where a solicitor agrees to keep the client's portfolio of investment under review on a discretionary basis. But a solicitor does not act as a portfolio manager simply because the firm, a partner or an employee in the firm is a trustee, a personal representative, a donee of a registered enduring power of attorney or a trustee power of attorney, or a receiver appointed by the Court of Protection.
It will also be "discretionary management" where a partner or employee in the firm is a trustee, a donee of a power of attorney, or a receiver appointed by the Court of Protection. However, provided no remuneration is received for such discretionary management over and above the remuneration received for acting as a trustee, donee or receiver, the business will be non-discrete.
A small amendment has been made to the definition of discrete investment business which arises from advice being given by a firm. Recommendations to enter transactions will be discrete investment business, subject to exceptions where the recommendation is incidental or the advice of a permitted third party. But a further exception has been added so a recommendation made by a trustee or attorney to a co-trustee or co-attorney will not be discrete investment business if no remuneration is received in addition to sums received for acting as a trust or an attorney.
Compliance for non-discrete investment business
The following compliance rules apply to all firms authorised by the Law Society.
Unsolicited calls
It is still permissible to make such calls in accordance with the Solicitors' Publicity Code 1990.
Execution of transactions
Firms must effect transactions as soon as possible unless it thinks it is in the client's best interest not to do so. This is a new requirement in the rules for non-discrete investment business, but adds nothing to the practice rules.
Compliance officers
A new requirement is that every firm authorised by the Law Society must appoint a compliance officer responsible for the firm's compliance systems. The officer must be a sole practitioner or a partner.
In most cases the need to maintain records in a central register has disappeared in the SIBR 1995. Most records under the new rules can be kept on the client file. But there are three exceptions. A further general change now means records kept under the rules must be maintained for six years.
(a) Advertisements – copies must be kept of investment advertisements issued or approved by a firm.
(b) Commissions – a record must be kept of the total commission received arising from investment business together with a record of such commission retained by the firm.
(c) Transactions – a record of client instructions and orders to third parties must be kept. Under the old rules, this record was only kept where non-discrete investment business was carried on with or through a permitted third party. The new regulations apply to a far wider set of circumstances. A record must be kept in all circumstances unless the activity is "incidental". But, "incidental" transactions for packaged products still require a record unless the transaction is a disposal by or for a personal representative.
(d) Complaints – a record of complaints received and action taken must be kept if the complaint relates to the firm's investment business. This must be kept separate from client files.
(e) Documents of title – a record must be kept of documents of title held and the investments to which they relate unless the documents are held as a result of incidental activities. This is an extra requirement which under SIBR 1995 applied to the conduct of discrete investment business only.
(f) Long-term commitments – if a firm passes on a permitted third party's "reason why" letter after a recommendation to a client to enter into a long-term commitment, a copy of the letter must be kept. If it arranges the acquisition or relinquishment of a long-term commitment on an execution-only basis, it must confirm the transaction is execution only and keep a record of confirmation.
Additional rules for packaged products
The SIBR 1995 contain extra rules where the investment is a life policy relating to commission disclosure, the provision of a key features document, a reason why letter and confirmation of execution only business.
Compliance for discrete investment business-only statement of authorisation
The standard statement on stationery that the firm is authorised by the Law Society remains obligatory.
Client information and agreements
A major change in SIBR 1995 is that written client agreements are no longer required for many discrete investment business activities. But a new requirement provides that written information must be given to clients before discrete investment business is undertaken. Information to be given includes a requirement to provide clients with the name of the qualified person and the name of the person to whom complaints should be addressed. Although the "buyers' guide" is no longer required for packaged products, the written information must contain a statement confirming the independent nature of the services to be provided.
Know your client and investment advice
The requirement for a client fact-find and the obligation to ensure recommendations are suitable remain the same. But references to "advisory" and "sophisticated" clients have disappeared.
Contract notes
Contracts notes containing the essential details of any transaction must be sent to clients.
Managed portfolios
Where a firm acts as portfolio manager (discretionary or non-discretionary) and carries on discrete investment business, statements containing specified information must be sent to clients at agreed intervals.
Bills of cost
The requirement to show costs relating to discrete investment business separately from other costs still exists. Further, such bills must be recorded separately from other bills.
In addition to the record keeping noted before, the following records must be maintained.
(a) Client names – the names of discrete investment business clients must be maintained by the firm and kept separate from the client files. This is a new provision.
(b) Know your client – a record of the fact-find must be kept.
(c) Client agreements – a record of client agreements entered must be kept.
(d) Standards of advice – a record must be kept of steps taken to satisfy the appropriate standards of advice.
The new rules should make life easier for compliance officers and enable firms to see at a glance the areas of practice which give rise to compliance.
However, there are some important changes. Some, like the requirements for client agreements, reduce the burden of compliance; others, like the increased record keeping for non-discrete investment business, increase the burden. When the new rules are published by the Law Society, firms must scrutinise the changes and ensure any amendments necessary to their compliance procedures are in place by the 1 June deadline.
Peter Camp is a member of the Law Society's financial services sub-committee and the author of Solicitors and Financial Services: A Compliance Handbook.
Peter Camp unveils the details of the new SIBR rules and analyses the important changes for practising solicitors
"One of the reasons for the new rules is to make it easier for users to pick a path through a fairly complex set of regulations"
"Firms must scrutinise the changes and ensure any amendments necessary are in place by the 1 June deadline"

Millennium after split, pope and Russian church to meet in Cuba
Baku, February 12 AZERTAC
Pope Francis and the head of the Russian Orthodox Church meet in Havana on Friday, nearly 1,000 years after Eastern Orthodoxy split with Rome, for the first encounter in history between a Roman Catholic pope and a Russian Orthodox patriarch.
According to Daily Mail, The two religious leaders, guests of a Communist government, will address the millennium-long rift between the Western and Eastern branches of Christianity.
The Argentine pontiff previously played a role in rapprochement between the United States and Cuba, who restored diplomatic relations last year after a 54-year break.
In 2001, during Putin's first term as president, former Cuban President Fidel Castro approved construction of a Russian Orthodox church, which was given prime real estate on Havana Bay in what is now a booming tourist zone.
