Her paper will be published by the International Journal of Number Theory. Parimala Raman, an invited speaker at ICM and one of India‘s most well-known experts in algebra who is now the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics at Emory University, U.S. said, “She is really good and she is way ahead of her age. She is interested in problem solving and research, taking great courses at Stanford. She was at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in December when I gave a talk. We’ve been in touch.”
Kaavya took a fancy to number theory after attending a definitive lecture on the subject at IIT Kanpur by Professor Manindra Agrawal who heads the institute’s computer science department.
She was home schooled by her mother as she had attained the tag of a ‘problem child’ at school, thanks to her intelligence. She decided she would be a mathematician, when eight, and began taking courses at the San Jose State University and Stanford University, the latter at the invitation of noted number theorist Kannan Soundararajan.
Kaavya says of her fancy for numbers, “What I like about number theory is there are so many unsolved problems which seem simple but have stumped mathematicians for years.”
Presently the family is based in California’s Bay Area and is in India for a year. After this, Kaavya will go to university full time, perhaps to Berkeley or Stanford.

According to data from the Kauffman Foundation, the highest rate of entrepreneurship in America has shifted to the 55 to 64 age group, with people over 55 almost twice as likely to found successful companies than those between 20 and 34. And while the entrepreneurship rate has gone up since 1996 in most other age brackets as well, it has actually declined among Americans under 35.
Employees might land to trouble while posting information about companies on their social networking sites. “Hiring is a very subjective process, and HR managers have the freedom to hire or reject a candidate based on his or her online social networking behavior,” said Nandita Gurjar, Group Head (HR), Infosys Technologies.
Recruiters go through the LinkedIn profiles while hiring employees in the middle senior management level. “It started with IT hiring, but is spreading to other industry verticals,” says Madan Padaki, CEO of skill assessment firm MeriTrack.
Ajay Trehan, Founder and CEO of background screening firm Authbridge, says one of his clients rejected a candidate for a director’s position because they found a discrepancy in his graduation year mentioned in the company records and on LinkedIn. “When we did a due diligence, we found that he had failed in 1979 but he had not revealed that to our client,” says Trehan.
In order to have a check on employee’s profile is soon going to be a part of general hiring process in many companies. Recruiters of many companies feel that such an initiative is very necessary.
Failure of data center: To keep the datacenter running continuously without any snags is one of the toughest tasks, IT professionals have to face. If the data center goes down, it can take the entire organization to a loss. “Simply keeping the data center running (and armed to the teeth) isn’t enough. IT managers are also under constant pressure to reduce data center costs”, says Gary Marks, VP for Raritan.
Gadget fever will infect your network: Devices containing sensitive data can be lost, stolen, or compromised by malware. As with infected PCs or laptops, the entire network can be at risk. “Absolutely no data should ever sit unprotected on a mobile device,” says Dan Zeck, CTO for Antenna Software, a mobile enterprise solutions vendor. “A minimum of two-factor authentication with a timeout to reset the log-in should be required for any mobile-based application. This would help mitigate the issue of stealing data sitting on any device”, Zeck added.
The cloud will obscure the mountains behind it: Cloud computing can dramatically reduce capital expenditures and allow IT to outsource bread-and-butter internal ops so that internal expertise can be applied to innovative and differentiating projects. “A good cloud computing implementation can make you a hero,” says Bender’s Archibald. “A bad cloud computing implementation or strategy can go horribly wrong and cost a company hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Data will leak from your network unseen: “Most IT folks are not focused on this stuff,” says Bob Houghton, CEO of Redemtech. “They just go down a list and tick things off without scrutinizing the results. People tell you they’re doing everything the right way, but the actual outcomes are never audited and reviewed for effectiveness.” Everyone in IT knows sensitive information on company hard drives and network storage devices must be secured. But where the real IT paranoia lies is with all the other places data might be lurking.
Management will never understand your value: No matter how long the IT professionals work, at the end if something goes wrong they have no excuse for it. “If IT people want to improve their visibility and their credibility, they need to take it upon themselves to step up and connect with the business side through relationships and communication. It’s never going to happen any other way”, says Patty Azzarello, CEO of Azzarello Group.
Arjun Singh Atwal (born 20 March 1973) is an Indian professional golfer who has played on the Asian Tour and the European Tour and is the first player born in India to become a member of, and later win on the U.S.-based PGA Tour.
Atwal won by a stroke Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club, becoming the first Monday qualifier to win on the TOUR in 24 years.
After leading or sharing the lead after each of the first three rounds, Atwal shot a 3-under 67 in the final round. He finished at 20-under 260 and earned $918,000 — or, more than double the amount he previously earned this year, the reason why his future on TOUR had been in jeopardy.
“I told my caddie, ‘We’ve got nothing to lose this week. Just go out there and try and win it,’” Atwal said. “Guys are going to be out there trying to secure their FedExCup spots or whatever. We’ve got nothing. I don’t have a card. I don’t have anything. Just go out there and free-wheel it, and that’s what I did this week.”
He’s the first Indian-born player to win on TOUR and the first to win both the qualifier and the tournament that follows since Fred Wadsworth at the 1986 Southern Open.
David Toms (64) was 19 under. John Mallinger and Michael Sim shot 62s to match John Rollins (65) and Justin Leonard (65) at 18 under.
For a few dizzying moments late in a low-scoring day, seven players shared the lead at 18 under.
Atwal, who carried a three-stroke lead into the final round, was at 19 under for most of the day but bogeyed the par-3 12th a few minutes before Lucas Glover bogeyed 14 and Toms, Rollins and Leonard all birdied No. 16.
\
“It just kept changing,” Atwal said. “Everybody’s tied for the lead at a certain point.”
Atwal reclaimed the lead with a birdie on No. 14, Leonard birdied No. 17 and Toms birdied No. 18 to join them at 19 under. Leonard dropped back a stroke after running into trouble on 18, while Atwal still had three holes to play — giving him more than enough chances to settle things himself.
Atwal made his move on the par-3 16th, plopping his tee shot 6 feet from the flagstick and sinking his birdie putt to move to 20 under. He followed that with consecutive pars, sinking a 7-foot putt on No. 18 before dropping his putter and extending his arms upward in jubilation after closing out his first tour victory.
“I was thinking about going to the (driving) range, but when he got to 20 under and they said he had a 15-footer on 17, I just went in the clubhouse and tried to cool off,” Toms said. “I was ready to go to the range, if need be, but good for (Atwal). I know it’s tough to get that first victory. … I’m sure that he was battling some nerves, and to pour it in from 6-8 feet on that last hole was pretty impressive.”
Glover (67) finished at 17 under, and Webb Simpson (63), Chris Riley (64), Scott Piercy (68) and second-round co-leader Brandt Snedeker (69) were one stroke behind him.
Atwal, who has won on the European, Asian and Nationwide tours, certainly has been through plenty during the past few years.
The player perhaps best known for his practice rounds with Tiger Woods is ineligible for the Playoffs and lost his TOUR card last month because he was too low on the money list when his minor medical exemption ran out. That came after he said he returned too soon following weightlifting injuries to both shoulders.
Scott McCarron rolls in a 50-foot putt.
Three years ago, a driver trying to race him down an Orlando street died in a crash. Atwal was cleared of any wrongdoing, although the yearlong investigation took an emotional toll.
Glover made five consecutive birdies, sinking four putts from 14 feet or beyond, to catch Atwal, then briefly had the lead all to himself with a birdie on No. 9 that put him at 20 under. That didn’t last long: He sent his drive on No. 10 into the rough and three-putted for bogey, and slipped out of contention after he was 3 over on the back nine.
“I didn’t make anything coming in,” Glover said. “Don’t win doing that.”

The Wyndham marked the last chance for players to pick up points for the Playoffs that begin next week in New Jersey. Michael Letzig, who arrived at Sedgefield at No. 125 on the points list, finished 14 under move to 118th place, solidifying his spot in The Barclays. “The goal is to give myself another tournament to play,” he said. “I’m in, so (I’ll) see what happens.” Others weren’t so fortunate. Mallinger started at No. 163 on the points list, but initially figured a final round that included six birdies and an eagle was good enough to propel him into next week. But when others joined him in a tie for third on the leaderboard, he slipped to 132nd place in the standings and finished roughly 40 points out of the playoff picture. Jeff Quinney, who arrived at No. 127, only moved up one spot on the list and finished about 3 points shy of making the postseason field with his 12 under. “I could have taken care of my own business today,” Quinney said. “The goal is to give myself another tournament to play,” he said. “I’m in, so (I’ll) see what happens.” |

Office Web Apps are free web-based version of Microsoft‘s Office productivity suite. It includes the web-based versions of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft OneNote. The web apps allow users to access their documents directly from anywhere within a web browser as well as share files and collaborate with other users online. Supported web browsers include Internet Explorer 7 and later, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and later, Google Chrome and Safari 4.
Office Web Apps is available to its customers via three channels:
Office Web Apps was released to the public via Windows Live Office on June 7, 2010, and Office Live Workspace users are expected to be migrated to Windows Live Office within the next months.
Office Web Apps was first revealed on 28 October 2008 at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) 2008 in Los Angeles. [3] Microsoft originally announced that Office Web Apps will be available through its Office Live Workspace offering. During PDC 2008, Office Web Apps was announced to be powered by AJAX as well as Silverlight, however the latter is optional and its availability will only “enhance the user experience, resulting in sharper images and improved rendering.” [4] Microsoft’s Business Division President Stephen Elop stated during PDC 2008 that “a technology preview of Office Web Apps would become available later in 2008″, [5] however, the Technical Preview of Office Web Apps was not released until 2009.
On 13 July 2009, Microsoft announced at its Worldwide Partners Conference 2009 in New Orleans that Microsoft Office 2010 has reached its “Technical Preview” development milestone and features of Office Web Apps was demonstrated to the public for the first time.[6] Additionally, Microsoft also announced that Office Web Apps will be available to users in three ways: via Windows Live for consumers (instead of the previously announced Office Live Workspace), or via Microsoft SharePoint or Microsoft Online Services for business users. However, Office 2010 beta testers were not given access to Office Web Apps at this date, and it was announced that it will be available for testers during August 2009.[7] However, in August 2009, a Microsoft spokesperson stated that there has been a delay in the release of Office Web Apps Technical Preview and will not be available by the end of August.[8]
Microsoft officially released the Technical Preview of Office Web Apps on 17 September, 2009.[9] Office Web Apps was made available to selected testers via its Windows Live SkyDrive service. The final version of Office Web Apps was made available to the public via Windows Live Office on June 7, 2010. [10]
Once you start typing, the search box is relocated to the top of the site. Results are changed to match what you type, kind of like a Firefox page search, Spotlight on the Mac, or Windows 7‘s ‘Search programs and files’ field in the start menu. We have to wait and see if the new capability is launched as a standard part of Google’s search engine. It would definitely save time as we type familiar searches.
These live search results are not yet available to the public as limited CPU power or bandwidth is likely to slowdown live updates for searches of this kind. Google is known to regularly test new features with very small selections of users. Many of those features never see a public launch, but some do. Last week it launched Google Apps Search, which searches Google’s Gmail, Docs and Sites web apps.
Google spokesperson Gabriel Stricker said that at any given time, we are running between 50-200 search experiments.

They got married in the presence of Tharoor’s 94-year-old maternal grandmother. About 15 people from the Pushkar family were present at the wedding. This was Tharoor’s third marriage.
Tharoor was a former UN undersecretary general who was a candidate for the UN secretary general‘s job before he lost the election to present incumbent Ban-ki Moon. He then returned to India to join politics and won a seat to parliament from Thiruvananthapuram constituency with a big margin.
He was made minister of state for external affairs, where he acquitted himself well, especially in powering India’s outreach to Africa, before he ran into media controversies over his perceived political indiscretions, particularly his tweeting where he was seen to say things he should not be saying as a minister, and then in favouring a bidder for an Indian Premier League (IPL) team from Kerala amid insinuations that he had financial stakes that he stoutly denied.
Senior Rajya Sabha member Mani Shankar Aiyar was among the 300 odd guests who attended the wedding. His wife Sunanda Pushkar, for whom its her third marriage, lives in Dubai.

Cyber fraudsters target new sectors beyond financial transaction
25 08 2010The ICC 2011 cricket World Cup begins in February 2011 in the subcontinent, and phishing websites promoting the tournament have already been observed by Symantec. A phishing site claims that users can get tickets to the matches by entering their login credentials of a popular social networking site that the phishing site has spoofed. Symantec also observed similar phishing websites during FIFA World Cup that tried to steal login credentials of users by promising to sell memorabilia of World Cup.
Sanjay Bahl, Chief Security Officer of Microsoft India said, “By using events related to sports and entertainment, cybercriminals play on a person’s fear, trust and desire. Cyber attacks globally are primarily driven and motivated by financial gains.”
In addition to spam mails with links promising to show some graphical content of celebrities, the other key trend noticed by Symantec is spoof websites of popular social networking brands promising fake offers for free online mobile phone top-ups to capitalize on the huge number of prepaid mobile users in India.
“Major news stories like IPL cricket, FIFA World Cup and now the Commonwealth Games seem to result in a spike in theme-related malware attacks strategically designed for a greater return on investment,” said Shafi Shanavas, Director of Product Management, PC Tools.
According to data from CERT India and cyber crime cells, 2009 saw 375 cases of phishing incidents, 6,500 malware and fraudulent websites and 3.5 million bot infected systems in the country. Bot is a type of malware that allows an attacker to take control over an affected computer.
Shantanu Ghosh, vice-president, India Product Operations at Symantec, said, “Cyber crime has now become very organised. Earlier, only the techies were involved in this. But, now-a-days there are non-techie criminal gangs, who hire techies to write malwares. Also, there are automated tool kits available to develop phishing sites and write malwares.”
According to the latest report by Symantec, India ranks at No.2 in terms of spam originations, contributing 6 percent to the global spam levels. In June, Symantec found the phishing websites created by automated tool kits doubled with an increase of 123 percent from May. “Spamming is becoming very specialised. First part is stealing email addresses and second part is social engineering, that is, working on human greed and curiosity and make the user click on something,” Ghosh said.
