Tech News:Motorola’s new Logo unveiled by Google.

Google has given Motorola a new logo, seen above, which ditches the
classic red circle around the Motorola 'M' for a colorful segmented
circle; also gone is the bold italic "Motorola" text, replaced by a
fresher lowercase version and accompanied by "a Google company",
referring to how Google bought Motorola Mobility in 2011 for US$12.5
billion.

The past logo for the company can be seen below, and is still featured
across most of Motorola's websites. Expect to see the new logo on a
range of new Motorola devices, including the upcoming Moto X which has
been teased but is yet to be officially unveiled by the company. So

Money in Swiss banks: India slips to 70th position; UK on top

India has slipped to 70th position in terms of foreign money lying
with Swiss banks and accounts for a meagre 0.10 per cent of total
global wealth held in the country's banking system.

While much hue and cry is made over huge amounts of illicit wealth
stashed by Indians in Swiss banks, the latest official data released
by Switzerland's central bank shows that the money they owed to Indian
clients at the end of last year was 1.42 billion Swiss francs (about
Rs. 9,000 crore).

India was ranked 55th for such funds a year ago with a total amount of
2.18 billion Swiss francs belonging to Indian individuals.

Among the top-ten jurisdictions in terms of source of money with Swiss
banks, the UK is now followed by the US, West Indies, Jersey,
Guernsey, Germany, France, Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Hong Kong.

Besides, China was ranked 26th, Canada 28th, Brazil at 39th and South
Africa at 50th. India's neighbour, Pakistan, was also ranked one place
higher at 69th, although countries like Mauritius, Hungary, Denmark,
Finland, Libya, Brunei and Sri Lanka are positioned below India.
As per SNB data, the Swiss banks saw a decline in funds belonging to
most of their foreign clients during 2012 and the funds belonging to
their domestic clients surpassed those of overseas ones for the first
time in their history.

Educational News:To get PG Degree, Rural posting compulsory for MBBS doctors

To get PG Degree, Rural posting compulsory for MBBS doctors

From the next academic session 2014-15, all the MBBS doctors who want
to sit for PG Entrance exam will now have to go for one-year rural
posting before the exam which has been made compulsory.

In order to improve rural healthcare in India, the Government has
decided to make it mandatory for all MBBS graduates to undergo one
year rural posting.

The decision came after two years of deliberations, as the earlier
proposal of increasing the duration of the MBBS course to include a
rural posting for doctors was scuttled after stiff opposition.

Doctors are unwilling to work in rural areas leading to people queuing
up in city hospitals.

The Health Ministry and the country's medical education regulator
(MCI) has been toying with the idea of compulsory rural posting for
doctors for quite some time to help improve medical facilities in the
rural hinterland of the country.

Sport News : Ricky Ponting equals Sachin Tendulkar's tally of 81 first-class centuries

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting marked his first-class Surrey debut with a century against Derbyshire in the County Championship on Saturday.

With the century, Ponting equalled Tendulkar's tally of 81 first-class hundreds. Ponting reached the mark in his 489th innings while Tendulkar had taken 486 innings to reach the figure.

Interestingly Sunil Gavaskar also has 81 first-class centuries - an Indian record which Sachin recently equalled. Sir Jack Hobbs leads the list of most first-class tons, with 199 to his name.

Ponting has retired from international cricket and has joined Surrey for a brief spell while captain Graeme Smith is away on international duty.

The 38-year-old batsman showed there is still life in the old dog as he cruised to his 81st hundred and shared a third-wicket stand of 180 in 49 overs on the third day of a four-day match at Derby.
