Matt Kuchar brought his form from last week's Masters into the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head after opening with a five-under-par 66.
The American, who finished in a tie for fifth at the first major of the year, was in fine fettle in South Carolina on Thursday, carding a bogey-free round.
Starting on the back nine, the 35-year-old birdied the 13th, 15th, second, fifth, and ninth holes to sit alongside compatriots Scott Langley and William McGirt at the top of the leaderboard.
Langley and McGirt each entered the turn on five under but neither could advance their score on the back nine.
Harris English made five birdies and two bogeys in his 68, while another man to impress at Augusta last week, Jordan Spieth, was among a cluster of players on two under.
Spieth finished joint runner-up in the Masters, three shots behind champion Bubba Watson, but has given himself hope of a decent finish this week.
Scotland's Russell Knox is the highest-placed Briton, sitting alongside Spieth after an opening 69, while England's Luke Donald is a shot further back.
Defending champion Graeme McDowell and Scot Stephen Gallacher are on level par although English duo Paul Casey and Nick Faldo will face a battle to be involved this weekend as they are three-and six-over respectively.

Nokia, chirpy chirpy cheap cheap
PUBLISHED: 06 Dec 2012 08:04:39 | UPDATED: 07 Dec 2012 00:12:15PUBLISHED: 06 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 07 Dec 2012John DAVIDSON
UPDATED: Do you love your children, but not so much that you would get them a Nokia Lumia 920 for Christmas? Give them a Nokia Lumia 620 instead, Nokia's most affordable (by which I mean, cheapest) Windows Phone 8 phone to date.
Or, at least, give them an IOU for a Lumia 620, because these new phones aren't coming out until the New Year, just in time for . . . in time for . . . Easter? They do have a sort of Easter-egg appeal to them, what with their garish colours and all.
The colours might actually be the most interesting thing about the Lumia 620, which is otherwise just a Windows Phone 8 phone (not that we have anything against Microsoft's very good, new operating system) with a decent-but-not-great feature set. (More on the features in a moment.)
Nokia says the colours are created using a new technique known as "dual-shot", which it explains as follows:
Dual-shot adds a second layer of coloured, transparent or translucent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary colour blends and depth effects.
I'm not entirely sure what that would look like, but a Streets Splice icecream springs to mind. That lime green colour is also reminiscent of a Splice. Maybe I'm onto something.
Anyway, onto the features:
Where the Lumia 920 has an 8.7 megapixel PureView camera, the Lumia 620 has a 5 megapixel camera, with no mention of PureView (Nokia's codename for premium camera features) in the announcement.
Where the Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch, 1280x768 pixel display, the Lumia 620 has a 3.8-inch, 800x400 pixel display.
Where the former has a dual-core, 1.5 GHz processor, the latter has a dual-core, 1 GHz processor.
Memory on 920 is 1G internal and 32G for storage. On the 620 it's 512M internal and 8G for storage.
The battery on the 920, 2000mAh. The battery on the 620, 1300mAh.
Though that last one doesn't mean the 620 will have a shoddy battery life. With its smaller, lower-res screen and its 3G mobile broadband (the Lumia 920 is 4G), the battery life on the 620 could be just fine, even with that fairly small battery.
Now, it's not yet clear exactly when the 620 is coming to Australia (if, indeed, at all). Nokia says that "Asia" will be getting the device in January 2013, but whether Australia is part of Asia very much depends on how fondly you remember Paul Keating. We're hoping local Nokia staff will clarify the local release date, and the price, in the course of the morning.
For what it's worth, the Lumia 620 will cost $US250 in the United States, a quarter of the list price of an unlocked Lumia 920. But when it comes to phones, the US market and the Australian market could hardly be more different, so that piece of information is probably not worth very much at all.
Update: Nokia says it's still in discussions with local retailers and carriers about releasing the phone in Australia. There will be no more local details for a few days, we're told.

Why Elizabeth Arden (RDEN) Stock Is Plunging
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Elizabeth Arden Inc. (RDEN - Get Report) are down -21.36% to $28.02 in pre-market trade after it was reported that the cosmetics company is evaluating strategic alternatives after posting much weaker-than-expected quarterly results due to falling demand for its perfumes, according to Reuters.
The company said it hired Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report) to explore strategic alternatives.
Its third quarter sales declined 20%.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.63, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.89 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $145.89 million or 11.90% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, ELIZABETH ARDEN INC's cash flow growth rate is still lower than the industry average growth rate of 23.34%.
- 48.32% is the gross profit margin for ELIZABETH ARDEN INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of RDEN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, RDEN's net profit margin of 8.35% compares favorably to the industry average.
- Reflecting the weaknesses we have cited, including the decline in the company's earnings per share, RDEN has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 22.38% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Personal Products industry and the overall market, ELIZABETH ARDEN INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

Monster Mouth DDS is a free to play game where the first three levels are unlocked and an addition seven levels can be unlocked for $0.99 via in-app purchase. In Monster Mouth DDS, the player acts as the unlikely dentist to a variety of monsters. It's the player's job to clean these monster's teeth, investigate trouble spots, and repair any damage needed in a limited amount of time. They must also perform these tasks without hurting the monsters too much, because like anyone else who has sat in a dentist's chair these monsters aren't very excited about having their mouths poked and prodded either.
The game progresses in 10 levels. Each level consists of cleaning and repairing the teeth of a different monster. To do this, players make use of various dentists tools which they can select and then use on a tooth by touching that tooth with their finger. Care is needed though, because if you use the wrong tool on a tooth at the wrong time the monster will get hurt. The monster can only get hurt three times and on the third time the player fails that level. The different dental tasks that are required in each level must be completed in order and with the right tools or the level will be failed. For instance, a tooth must be brushed clean before a cavity can be repaired. Once all the teeth in the monster's mouth have been cared for, the level is complete. Based on the amount of time it took to complete the level the player will receive a rating out of five stars.
The monsters and their disgusting mouths are beautifully animated, which adds so much to the enjoy of the game. The monsters react to the procedures the players are performing and emote accordingly. Sometimes the teeth are so well animated that it's a little difficult not too feel a little squeamish, but the action is cartoony enough that the feeling doesn't last long.
Monster Mouth DDS is a great game and players will have a wonderful time caring for these monsters. Hopefully the developer is working on more content because 10 levels won't take very long to complete, even if there is an option to go back and improve a score.

West Palm Beach's Possible Plan to Battle Prostitution: Print a Catalog of Customers
lasvegascitylife.com |
Especially when you have an address book full of customers. |
At last night's work session with West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio and the city commissioners, City Attorney Claudia McKenna raised two alternatives to combat prostitution: Create "prostitute exclusion zones," or go back to publishing the names of johns on the city's website or in print.
The commissioners tossed around the idea of putting not only the names of prostitute-renters in print but also their mug shots and addresses.
"I like the statement we'd be making," Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell told the Palm Beach Post. "It would be making the public more aware that we're paying attention to this problem."
West Palm Beach Police Chief Delsa Bush told the commission she was opposed to the idea, worried about the johns' wives and children being hurt by the public embarrassment.
McKenna was also apparently concerned that non-English-speaking folks wouldn't understand the john catalog if it wasn't printed in multiple languages, according to the Post.
The other problem the city faces with publishing the names of their prostitute-soliciting dudes is what happened the last time it tried it.
Back in 1992, West Palm Beach took out two $1,200 ads in the Post, according to the paper, leading to a lawsuit against the city by a man acquitted of charges that was settled for $10,000.
Regardless, if the city decides to print its john catalog with addresses and mug shots, don't be surprised if West Palm Beach gets more door-to-door saleswomen.

Heart Disease Survivor Honored for Fundraising Efforts

UW Health Surpasses Fundraising Goal at Heart Walk
Internet Resources
Follow Us
MADISON - Beaver Dam resident and heart disease survivor, Dan White was recently honored with a plaque for being the number one fundraising walker in the recent Madison Heart Walk. White raised $12,790 for his walking team, UW Health, and has been participating in the event for the last three years. His three-year total is over $21,000.
"UW Health was instrumental in saving my life. Helping raise funds for the American Heart Association helps me repay my doctors for what they've done for me," White said. "In addition, I like giving to the American Heart Association because I see the dollars helping right here in Wisconsin."
UW Health's 1,700 walkers raised an all-time record high for funds raised by a Madison organization, topping at over $70,000.
More than 2,500 American Heart Association supporters came out four months ago for the 17th annual Madison Heart Walk. Walkers were encouraged to organize teams at the companies where they work or with family and friends. Despite tough economic times, walkers managed to raise over $250,000 to support outreach, public and professional education and heart disease and stroke research, now the number 1 and number 3 leading causes of death in America. Heart attack and stroke combined are responsible for 30.8% of the deaths in Dodge County.
Research funded by the American Heart Association has yielded major advances, such as the heart-lung machine, CPR/ AED, life-extending drugs, pacemakers, bypass surgery and surgical techniques to repair heart defects and save lives.

As Zak and Drew profess their love for Desiree, James and Brooks go all out in a ferocious battle, on "The Bachelorette."

Rejean probably spent the morning tending to his theoretical trigger finger. That poised, calm hand of his picked up some phones today and got to work. We're familiar with shopping, but what we mean is we go to Target or Gabe's and make an impulse buy, or find the best apartment in town for the cheapest price, or know when we have found a decent price for upper bowl seats at bull riding.
Ray Shero? Somehow acquires James Neal and Matt Niskanen for Alex Fucking Goligoski.
Oh Alex oh Alex oh Alex. Even better defense and more points production wouldn't have saved you, probably. The Pens are in dire, dire need of more offense, and wingers who know how to make points happen are way more important than a d-man who is a beautiful skater, but has yet to achieve the confidence to run an attack from the blueline and pick his shot with care. See: Kris Letang, who will basically be Jesus once he remembers how to hit the net.
James Neal is a LW with 21 goals this season. Bring it.
Matt Niskanen won't bring Goligoski's scoring touch or anything, but he's pretty solid back there. On a Dallas team that is in the playoff mix but has allowed way too many goals to be truly viable, he's only a -1.
We're basically giving him credit that he knows where he is supposed to be. Ktang and PaulMart on the PP is not a bad option. We haven't lost any significant amount of offense, and we've gained a more physical player.
We'll see what happens.
We wish Goose all the best and we miss him already.
The crying will commence once we remember what reality is.
Welcome to James and Matt. We'll be getting intimate with you shortly.
Go Pens.

Konnie Huq is a secretive minx, as her spokeswoman confirmed she is definitely engaged to satirical sultan Charlie Brooker, which was surprising as no one actually knew they were going out. Then Konnie only went and snapped up the Xtra Factor presenting job from underneath Christine Bleakley's nose. Yeah, that woman is worth £2 million! Go Konnie. We are all surprised about the announcement and it does have a slight whiff of a hoax, but that's probably just our wishful thinking. We have to face it, the ex-Blue Peter presenter is off the market. Nevertheless, it does create an excuse - if ever one was needed - to shamelessly post pictures of the lovely Konnie. Here are some we prepared earlier, from our May issue last year. Enjoy!

Konnie is the longest-serving Blue Peter presenter of all time, having served just over ten years on the kid's TV show before quitting in 2008.
She has a beauty spot at the top of her bum, and her party trick is making her eyelids disappear. Which sounds like a rubbish party trick.
Konnie was lucky enough to carry the Olympic torch through London in 2008, and hit headlines when a protestor tried to snatch it from her.

Matter is magic! Why do snowballs disappear and ponds freeze? Make a "magic slider" picture that shows how markers can change into fuel.
Conduct a simple science experiment showing how matter can change from one form to another. Demonstrate how liquid soda contains a gas by putting a balloon over the top of a bottle of soda that has just been opened. The balloon will appear limp at first, but as the gas escapes from the soda, it will blow up the balloon.
Discuss the differences between the states of matter: solids, liquids, and gasses. Remind students that everything on earth is made up of matter. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change from one form to another. Matter is made up of molecules that take on different forms. Some molecular chains are long, others are short.
Introduce the ColorCycle program. Tell students that while the plastic in their markers is currently a solid, they contain molecules that can change into a different state of matter, and be used as fuel. Explain that scientists have found a way to change the plastic into liquid fuel.
Briefly explain the marker to energy process: When solid markers are put into a special furnace and heated to a high temperature, they melt and turn into a liquid. When heated to an even higher temperature in a reactor, the long molecular chains break into shorter ones and the liquid turns into a gas which floats out of the reactor (just like the gas that was trapped in the liquid soda floated into the balloon). When the gas is directed into a cold area it turns back into a liquid. Then, because of the molecular change that took place, instead of being melted plastic, the liquid will be a fuel. This fuel can be separated into several different types of fuel: gasoline for cars, diesel trucks, or kerosene for camp lanterns, etc. The fuel from the plastic is clean fuel, since it has minimal sulfur as a residual in the transformation process.
To create a visual of this process, show students how to create a "magic slider" picture. One part of their slider will show the marker to energy furnace where plastic markers are deposited. The next section would show liquid fuel that the markers become.
Provide each student with a piece of colored poster board (9" x 11") that will represent the furnace and a smaller piece of white poster board (4" x 12") which will serve as a "slider." Give the following directions:
Lay the colored poster board horizontally on a desk and use a ruler to create a 2" wide frame around the outer edge. The inner portion should measure 7" from side to side. Make 1" wide marks at both the top and bottom of this inner section. Lightly draw 8 vertical lines to form 7 bars. Cut along these 8 lines being careful not to cut into the outer frame. Now, starting from the underside of the colored poster board, weave the white piece under and over the bars until just 1" of it extends beyond the right hand edge of the colored paper. Draw light pencil lines onto the white piece along the 8 cut lines.
Slide the white piece out. You will see seven 1" bars with about an extra piece to the left of the first bar. Using a pencil, lightly write a zero at the top of the extra piece, and number each of the seven bars from 1-7. Then, starting with bar #1, use Crayola® Markers to draw a colored marker on each odd numbered bar (#1,3,5,7). Weave this white slider back through the slits until all four markers are visible. Just above each marker, draw a circle on the colored poster board representing holes where markers are dropped into the furnace. Pull the slider to the right and the markers will disappear.
Using pencil, lightly draw the image of a vehicle that could be fueled by marker energy (a car, bus, truck, tractor, motor boat, snowmobile, etc.) across all seven bars of your weaving. Part of the time you will be drawing on the white paper and part of the time on the colored paper. That's okay. When you are finished, color in only the parts of the picture on the white bars. Erase the pencil marks you made on the colored paper.
Now for the magic! Push the slider to the left and your vehicle will disappear! In its place will be the markers. Now pull it to the right and the solid markers will disappear into the "furnace", and your vehicle, fueled by marker energy, will appear in their place!
Let's learn!

We've all been in this scenario before: it's the latter half of the draft. The top talent at Position Y all went while you were carrying out your draft strategy with precision, and now you're left looking at a motley crew of names, thinking to yourself, "All these putzes are the same to me. I'll throw a dart at a board and probably drop him by Memorial Day." Hey, it happens, but that doesn't mean it's fair. Because within that group of shortstops or third basemen, there's a player looking back at you saying, "Really? You're putting me with them??," and they're right. Like the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield, they get no respect.
They don't deserve to be lumped together with the Nick Puntos of the world (all due respect to Nick Punto). Throw them all together and you've got the All-Rodney Dangerfield Team, made up of misfits with slightly above average talent, and names non-fantasy baseball players can't spell. I tracked them all down and interviewed them (no I didn't), and here's what they had to say (or at least what they would have said had I actually tracked them down to interview them), splashed together with a few fun quotes from the late, great comedian himself.
"I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people."
Ramon Hernandez, C, COL - "Okay, so maybe it's been half a decade since I was 'fantasy relevant', and I know you got all hyped up when I signed to play in the Great American Ballpark, and maybe I let you down. But come on folks. This is Colorado. A mile up. Thin air. Tap the Rockies. Where OPS shoots up 300 points by default. And it's not like I've been a total waste; I bat .297 and .282 in two full seasons in Cincinnati. Catchers who bat .230 are silent (average) killers! My counting stats haven't been eye popping, but it's kind of difficult to amass those batting eighth! I'm healthy, I'm in Colorado, and I will literally be available in the last round of your draft. A little respect please!"
"I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous – everyone hasn't met me yet."
Justin Morneau, 1B, MIN - "Ike Davis people? Ike Davis?! You're drafting me after Ike Davis?! How quickly we forget! How quickly the wagons circle and head off into the sunset! Remember 2010? Apparently not. All I did was bat .345 before I got injured. Three forty-five! Eighteen HRs in half a season. Half a season! And my last healthy season in 2009? 30 HRs, 100 RBIs, 85 Rs, like clockwork. But a guy gets banged up in back-to-back years and suddenly he's being drafted in the 14th round after Paul Goldschmidt and Ike Davis! You're gonna let a few surgeries scare you off, like I'm not tough? Have you ever experienced a Canadian winter? I'm tough as nails! Ike Davis!"
"My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend."
Ben Zobrist, 2B, TB - "You may not know me, but I'm the guy who quietly had a better 2011 than half the 2B you're drafting ahead of me in 2012. The short list of 2B who had a better year than me last year: Robinson Cano, Dustin Pedroia, Ian Kinsler. Yet the list of other 2B being drafted ahead of me this year: Dan Uggla, Rickie Weeks, Chase Utley. Maybe I should get a mohawk or a funky tattoo or something and you'd start paying attention to what a beast I am. The only fantasy statistic Chase stands to surpass me this year is days spent on the DL, which is an honor he will probably compete for with Ian Kinsler all year. Rickie Weeks? I do everything he does, I do it just as well or better, and I'm not a jerk! The rest of you can have fun watching Dan Uggla bat a buck ten for four months!"
"I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio."
Erick Aybar, SS, ANA - "All I did last season was drive in 59 runs, score 71 times, and steal 30 bases while batting a hair under .280. No biggie. All I hear is that shortstop is where owners want to draft their speed; that's why they take Jose and Hanley in Round 1. Well there's only so many steals to go around in Miami, and that's when they're not pulling hammies and going bananas about switching positions. But me? At pick 138? Really? Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but I now get to bat atop a lineup that features 'The Machine' — what do you think that will do to my run totals? I can sleep my way to 90. And the only one who will be sleeping is you, at the wheel, if you pass on me for the likes of Dee Gordon. Enjoy that train if he isn't batting .300 or running wild at the end of April.
" My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too."
Mark Reynolds, 3B, BAL - "I hear what you guys are saying: 'Oh 3B is so thin, there's no talent after the top, it drops off like a ledge, get it early or be doomed for eternity!'" Psh. So I bat .230, what of it? Last I checked, your league doesn't count my 500 annual strikeouts, so big whoop. You know what they do count? The ridiculous amount of HRs I hit. Yeah, those. Only Jose Bautista hit more than me last year, and if I went to see his pharmacist, I bet I'd develop the same 'eye' he has. You guys go bananas for power at the other corner infield position, but I do it and you're too busy passing on me for guys who had a cup of coffee last season in the bigs and got hurt, and play in Canada. Really? Canada? Listen, I may not have flown to Europe to have blood drained from one part of my body and then re-inserted into another part of my body, or be so fat that I have a nickname to reflect how fat I am, but I mash homers, and as it still stands, chicks dig the long ball. So I'm gonna keep mashing homers, while your 3B spends his time wishing his way off the Mets, or frequenting time on the DL so he can date another washed up blonde. Bah!"
"This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the Fruit-of-the-Loom guys laughing at me."
Aubrey Huff, OF, SF – ".290, 26 HRs, 86 RBIs, 100 Rs, 7 SBs. It wasn't that long ago that this was my season total. Think all the way back to 2010, remember, when my Giants won the World Series? I was slapping ding dongs left and right. Last year I struggled, sure, but Pick 280? When you're deciding between the guy whose never thrown a single Major League inning or the guy who may or may not become a team's closer and the guy who two seasons ago hit 26 homers and scored 100 runs. How is this even a decision? I played 22 games in the OF last year, people, I'm not losing eligibility! Buster Posey is back, Melky Cabrera and Angel Cabrera are in town, and the Huffinator is making a comeback in 2012!"
"When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up."
Bud Norris, SP, HOU - "Apparently strikeouts aren't as sexy as they used to be, cause all I did last season was fan 173 batters. More than Josh Beckett, Michael Pineda, Max Scherzer, and Derek Holland. And my reward? I'm being drafted after Matt Harrison, Shelby Miller, Roy Oswalt, Mark Buehrle, and a bunch of other has-beens and never-will-bes. Yeah, my team stinks, but they stunk last year and that didn't stop me from striking everybody out; it won't this year either. You all dock pitcher after pitcher for low K rates, and I can't be rewarded just a smidgen of respect for mine? It figures. Enjoy picking me up in May after you drop your 20th-round Pick because he just got shelled for the third consecutive game."
"When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother."
Jordan Walden, RP, ANA – "My first year as a closer I notched 32 saves, kept my ERA under 3.00 and my WHIP under 1.25, and struck out more batters than innings I pitched. Then in the off-season my team signs the best available bat and the best available starting pitcher for more than the net worth of Google and Twitter combined, and how does this affect my value? I can't even crack the Top 10! Listen, I know there's no correlation between team success and save opportunities and blah blah blah, but come on folks! My team is favored to win the World Series! Do you really think they aren't going to provide opportunities for me to snag some cushy three-run lead saves out in the Golden State? This is like shooting fish in a barrel, and you're too busy picking guys with big black beards and ridiculous mustaches to give me a real shot! Unbelievable!"

Class VI student was on her way to school when vehicle hit her bicycle from behind
It was only after K. Abirami was promoted to class VI that her parents allowed her to go to school on her bicycle. On Wednesday, just 10 days after her school reopened, that decision proved fatal.
At 7.45 a.m., when the 12-year-old from Mogappair West was riding through Mohanram Nagar, a sewage lorry hit her bicycle and ran her over. Abirami died on the way to hospital.
The daughter of Kaviarasan and Thangapushpam, Abirami lived with her family in the 4th block of Mogappair West. She was studying at Spartan Matriculation Higher Secondary School, also in the area.
Abirami left her home at 7.15 a.m. According to eyewitnesses, she was just crossing a junction, when the lorry hit her.
"I heard a girl cry out and when I stepped out of my shop, I saw the lorry's rear wheel over a child. If it had just run her over, she may have had serious injuries but would have survived. But the vehicle reversed over her body and then drove forward again," said an employee at a shop opposite the site of the accident.
Local residents who saw Abirami lying in a pool of blood rushed her to a private hospital in an autorickshaw. However, doctors at the hospital declared her 'brought dead'.
Driver beaten up
Angry locals then caught the lorry driver Ravi, and thrashed him before handing him over to the police. Ravi has now been arrested.
At 11 a.m., silence hung heavy over the street where Abirami used to live. The huge black front door of her home was wide open, and relatives were sobbing inside. Her younger brother, Tarun Kumar, an LKG student, was sitting with his uncle, Azhagurajan and looking at his sister's picture, not having understood that she was dead.
"Abirami was born after her parents had been married for 15 years. They adored her. Until she was in class V, her parents used to drop her to school. It was only from this year that she was allowed to ride her bicycle," said Azhagurajan. Even then, her parents were concerned about her safety and insisted on following her till she reached school.
"Even on Wednesday, they asked Abirami to go ahead and were going to follow her. But the accident took place before they left," said Sakthivel, manager at Abirami's school.
Sakthivel said Abirami was a bright student and used to score above 90 per cent in all her examinations. "She was very friendly and was a disciplined child. She wasn't very mischievous," he said. The school mourned her death on Wednesday.
Parents stage road roko
In the evening, several parents protested in front of the school, condemning Abirami's death and demanding more safety on the roads for children. They organised a human chain on Tiruvalluvar Salai and then staged a road roko.
"We want the government to ensure that lorries do not ply between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., as this is when schoolchildren are on the roads," said M.K. Vasudevan, a protester.
Police said the accident had taken place because of a lack of space by the sides of the road. "Most residents on that stretch park their cars right in front of their houses. So children on bicycles are forced to jostle for space on the road along with other heavy vehicles," said a senior police officer.

PR Watch notes that Google's political activities don't necessarily match up with the views held by its workers:
… Read the restGoogle, the tech giant supposedly guided by its "don't be evil" motto, has been funding a growing list of groups advancing the agenda of the Koch brothers.
Organizations that received "substantial" funding from Google for the first time over the past year include Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, the Federalist Society, the American Conservative Union (best known for its CPAC conference), and the political arm of the Heritage Foundation that led the charge to shut down the government over the Affordable Care Act: Heritage Action.
In 2013, Google also funded the corporate lobby group, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), although that group is not listed as receiving "substantial" funding in the list published by Google.
What Google considers "substantial" is not explained — no dollar amounts are given — but the language suggests significant investments from Google and, with a stock value of $330 billion, Google has considerably deep pockets.

Your fine art information site since 1995
Jane Haslem: art dealer and entrepreneur for 54 years
Jane Haslem opened the first commercial art gallery in North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in 1960. In 1964 she sold that gallery and moved with her family to Madison, WI and opened another gallery. She continued to operate in Madison and moved to Washington in 1969 and operated both galleries until 1973.
The DC gallery had three locations until it found its present home in Dupont Circle, just across from the Phillips Collection. The Dupont Circle gallery was built in 1886 and housed the Holton Arms School until after the turn of the last century.
American print innovators are the specialty of Haslem Gallery. These are artists who immigrated to the United States at the time of WWII and changed prints from images that normally were stored in file drawers to works that compete with paintings for wall space. Artists in this group include Josef Albers, Werner Drewes, Antonio Frasconi, Mauricio Lasansky, Boris Margo, Gabor Peterdi, Karl Schrag and Julian Stanczak along with others who followed their lead; Leonard Baskin, Will Barnet, Misch Kohn, Michael Mazur, Peter Milton, Dean Meeker, Warrington Colescott, Rudy Pozzatti, Clare Romano, Carol Summers, and Richard Ziemann. Beyond these artists Haslem has shown prints and drawings by Peggy Bacon, Edward Hopper, Martin Lewis, Louise Lozowick, John Sloan and Mark Tobey. Other artists include Nancy McIntyre, Carlton Fletcher, Elizabeth Peak, Tom Edwards, George Harkins, James McGarrell, David Hollowell and Lincoln Perry.
The gallery has had many firsts including exhibitions of original works by major children's book illustrators, Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury drawings, and cartoons and comic strips by Charles Schultz, Pat Oliphant, Jeff MacNelly, Berke Breathed, Jules Feiffer, Dale Messick, and Walt Kelly.
Haslem launched artline.com in June 1995, the first site for commercial art dealers on the internet. artlinePlus.com followed the next year. artlinePlus focuses on art in the greater Washington Metropolitan area.
Jane Haslem is a founder and member of the Art Dealers Association of Greater Washington DC, an early member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association, CINOA, on the advisory board of the Washington Print Club and past member of ArtTable and the New York Print Club.

Statisticians often talk about the position of a value, relative to other values in a set of observations. The most common measures of position are percentiles, quartiles, and standard scores (aka, z-scores).
Assume that the elements in a data set are rank ordered from the smallest to the largest. The values that divide a rank-ordered set of elements into 100 equal parts are called percentiles.
An element having a percentile rank of Pi would have a greater value than i percent of all the elements in the set. Thus, the observation at the 50th percentile would be denoted P50, and it would be greater than 50 percent of the observations in the set. An observation at the 50th percentile would correspond to the median value in the set.
Quartiles divide a rank-ordered data set into four equal parts. The values that divide each part are called the first, second, and third quartiles; and they are denoted by Q1, Q2, and Q3, respectively.
Note the relationship between quartiles and percentiles. Q1 corresponds to P25, Q2 corresponds to P50, Q3 corresponds to P75. Q2 is the median value in the set.
A standard score (aka, a z-score) indicates how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. A standard score can be calculated from the following formula.
z = (X - μ) / σ
where z is the z-score, X is the value of the element, μ is the mean of the population, and σ is the standard deviation.
Here is how to interpret z-scores.
Problem 1
A national achievement test is administered annually to 3rd graders. The test has a mean score of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. If Jane's z-score is 1.20, what was her score on the test?
The correct answer is (E). From the z-score equation, we know
Solving for Jane's test score (X), we get
X = ( z * σ) + 100 = ( 1.20 * 15) + 100 = 18 + 100 = 118

Kaplan CPA Review
Reviewed and Updated January 15, 2012
Kaplan CPA Review is best known in CPA circles for creating a new CPA exam review course, then getting out of the market. Over the past 10 to 20 years, Kaplan has started and then stopped its review course several times. In their current iteration, Kaplan offers 2 versions – the live online course and the self-study course.
Live Online – The live online course includes online access to lectures, textbooks, multiple choice question and simulation software, the ability to contact instructors through email, online access to additional supplemental study videos, a study calendar, mp3 audio study supplements, and flashcards. The live online course follows a set schedule. You will need to check to see if the schedule matches up with when you plan to take the exam.
Self-Study – The self-study course offers all of the materials included in the live version, except that the lectures are provided on video CD. The self-study course does not follow a set schedule, so this is obviously the choice for you if the live schedule does not line up with when you plan to take each part of the exam.
Price – $399 for 1 part / $749 for 2 parts / $1,099 for 3 parts / $1,399 for 4 parts (self study and live online are priced the same)
The Good
1. Lots of Study Materials – Kaplan includes a lot of things the other review course do not provide or charge extra for. Flashcards, mp3 audios and supplemental study videos are all included at no extra charge.
2. Price – At $1,399 for all 4 parts or $399 for 1 part, Kaplan is cheaper than all of the other guided review courses.
3. Expiration Date – Like many review courses, Kaplan has an expiration date, but it is a fairly generous 24 months. This should be plenty of time for you to study for and pass the exam.
The Bad
1. Pass Rate – Kaplan does not publish their students' pass rate, but Roger CPA reports that the pass rate for Kaplan students is only 69%. This is far lower than any of the published passing rates of the other review courses.
2. Lack of Practice Questions – Kaplan only has 2,000 multiple choice questions and simulations combined. This is less than half of the 4,000 or more combined MCQs and simulations the other guided review courses have. The lack of practice questions means you will likely not get enough practice on the key concepts you will be tested over and you may have to purchase supplemental MCQs from another review course. This would raise your cost of review materials beyond Kaplan's low initial price.
3. Lack of Responsiveness to Questions – Students only have access to instructors through email and several complain that answers do not come back from instructors for several days.
4. Lecture Format – The lectures are delivered with a small video of the instructor's face in the top left corner and a PowerPoint slide taking up most of the space. Many students find these lectures to be hard to stay interested in.
5. Continued Support – Will Kaplan do as it has done several times in the past and discontinue its CPA exam review course? It is hard to say, but it is a risk to keep in mind before you make a purchase.
6. No Mobile Access – You cannot access the materials on your iPhone, iPad or other mobile device.
The Bottom Line
There are not a lot of downsides to the Kaplan review course, but in my opinion, those negatives are significant. Be sure to watch the Kaplan demo videos before purchasing.
The pricing is the main advantage Kaplan has going for it. If the price outweighs the negatives for you and you feel you will not need to purchase additional review materials to supplement, Kaplan may be a good choice for you.
If you will need to purchase supplemental MCQs from another review course, your cost will go up to be comparable with Yaeger. In my opinion, Yaeger offers the best value for your money – giving you the best chance to pass the exam at a price that is not much higher than Kaplan.

Grand Challenges: Aims and Objectives
UCL's Grand Challenges programme provides institutional encouragement and the means to bring researchers together, from diverse fields of expertise, to address complex problems of societal importance that need, for their better understanding and effective resolution, joined-up thinking from different disciplinary perspectives.
The four Grand Challenges (of Global Health, Sustainable Cities, Intercultural Interaction and Human Wellbeing) support the main objective of UCL's Research Strategy. This being to establish an environment in which research excellence and leadership is cherished and sustained, different domains of individual expertise are creatively linked through cross-disciplinary collaboration, and where the impact of these activities is encouraged and recognised within and beyond UCL.
Focused on this core strategic objective, the UCL Grand Challenges Small Grants scheme exists to encourage and support cross-disciplinary activity based on scholarly excellence in different fields – between staff in different UCL departments/faculties – with the aim of producing novel insights and impacts (see below) both within our university, and beyond it in wider society.
UCL Grand Challenges is committed to research and actions reducing gender inequality. In order to emphasise this commitment, applications are encouraged that either directly or indirectly bear upon gender and gender inequality concerns.
How we define impact
'Impact' may be achieved through diverse means, including:
- scholarly publications
- developments in teaching
- knowledge transfer and research translation
- novel methodologies and techniques
- new research partnerships
- outcome of pilot studies as bases for further grant-supported work
- public engagement
- community engagement
- policy engagement
- international development
- developments in professional training and practice
- entrepreneurial initiatives

The 1996 Keenan Chardonnay was made from select vineyards located on the floor of the Napa Valley. Keenan continues to barrel ferment and barrel age 100% of the Chardonnay production; one-third of the oak barrels used are new French oak. Approximately one-half of the '96 vintage was aged sur-lie for five months; this contributed to the remarkable body and unique character of the wine. Each Chardonnay vineyard that Keenan utilizes puts forth its own distinctive characteristics, and it is the combination of these characteristics that allow Keenan to create a wine of balanced complexity. Our 1996 Chardonnay opens with luscious pear and apple notes that are blended with a nice amount of vanilla and light oak. The crisp medium bodies character of the wine is accented with hints of pineapple and citrus, and a toast oak finish lingers pleasantly on the palate. |

Purpose: What's It All About?--What to Do When Anxiety About Your Purpose Stalls Your Ability to Change and Grow
Thomas J. DeLong
Publication Date:Jun 14, 2011Discipline:General ManagementSource:Harvard Business Press Chapters |
Product number:8517BC-HCB-ENG Length:24p |
English Hardcopy Black & White
Also Available in:
English Hardcopy Black & White | $ 6.93
Achievement-craving professionals experience high levels of anxiety, and doubts about their own purpose top the list. What's it all about? Am I connected to a cause or an enterprise that matters? Do I matter? In this chapter, organizational behavior expert Thomas DeLong shows how developing a clear sense of purpose can help you defeat the anxiety that gets in the way of greater accomplishment. Seeking full engagement with your work--whether that means asking your boss to clarify your role in the company, taking on a challenging new assignment, or changing jobs altogether--is one way to get past your anxiety and summon the courage to align yourself with your purpose. Another is to demand straight talk rather than ambiguity from those in a position to give you feedback. Case studies, personal stories, and self-assessment questions will start you on the path to feeling a stronger sense of purpose and finding a better fit in your organization. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 3 of "Flying Without a Net: Turn Fear of Change into Fuel for Success."
subjects covered:
Anxiety; Career advancement; Goals; Job satisfaction; Top performers
