PEABODY — He stayed late to see it done, but Mayor Ted Bettencourt got his new "business liaison" post at last Thursday's meeting of the City Council. "I want to roll out the red carpet for businesses in this city," he said.
Citing the need to attract taxpaying organizations, Bettencourt acknowledged that the city could do more to make them feel welcomed.
"Our permitting process can be quite cumbersome," he said. Business people faced with making appeals to multiple departments might get discouraged, he said, noting. "we have lost opportunities in the past."
The liaison would help cut through red tape, assist would-be entrepreneurs in finding the departments they need to visit, "and walk them through every step."
As he has before, the mayor stressed that the new post would not add to the budget. The new person hired would take the spot previously occupied by a city planner who left for another job. Meanwhile, he judged that just by doing the job efficiently, bringing in or keeping businesses in the city, the liaison would generate the tax dollars to pay for the position.
Councilors almost universally praised the concept.
"I think it's a great idea," said Barry Osborne. If businesses are to invest in Peabody, he added, it makes sense for the city to make an investment in getting them here.
"It's a fabulous idea," said Dave Gravel.
"This position," said member Mike Garabedian, "is a position long overdue."
The main caution from the council was over the proposed salary, from $45,500 to $58,500, which they worried might not be sufficient to attract a good candidate.
Anne Manning-Martin raised the strongest objection, however, wondering why the mayor sent the request to the council when the job might just as well have been assigned to someone in the community development department. She worried over who the liaison would answer to and cited a previous situation where the building inspector, on paper beholden to that department, reported to no one.

The MAA Department Liaisons Program is designed to facilitate two-way communication between the national MAA organization and its members. Originally, the program's goals included:
As the program has developed, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of involvement of MAA Sections. This involvement has the potential both for service by, as well as benefit to, MAA Sections. In the first place, sections provide a natural stage for regional input to the national program. Information that is readily accessible to leaders in sections can be completely unknown outside the section.
At the same time, sections offer opportunities for interacting with the Liaisons on a much more personal and immediate level than what is possible from the national office. In the second place, section programs and activities have much to gain from the access to departments that Liaisons provide. From publicizing section meetings and workshops, to encouraging nominations for section awards; from gathering information for newsletters, to identifying candidates for section office, liaisons can be a tremendous asset to the success of MAA Section programs.
Diversity of MAA Sections is one of the great strengths of the MAA. The MAA Sections have rich traditions of their own, and a history of serving their regions in their own individual styles. Accordingly, it is to be expected that each Section will find its own best way to interact with the Liaisons Program. In the past two years, discussions of the Liaison program have been held at several section meetings, producing a wealth of good ideas for Section Liaison activities. A number of these are outlined below. We hope that these will be useful to Section officers who are developing their own ideas for working with Liaisons in their Sections.
The ideas to follow can be separated into three categories. First, there are things that the liaisons can do to contribute to the activities and programs of the section. Second, there are activities that can be organized by the section to contribute to the development of a vital and effective liaisons program within the section. Third, there are steps that can be taken by the section to contribute to the operation of the national program. In all of these areas, some sort of coordination within the section would be required. Some sections may choose to create a new officer to serve as a liaison coordinator. In other sections, this may become one of the duties of an existing officer.
There are many ways that the section can make use of the liaisons network. Here is a list of possibilities:
Here is a list of possible steps that a section can take to develop a vital liaisons program. We emphasize that these cover a wide variety of approaches. Not every section will want to do all of them, and indeed, some of these would not make much sense in combination. But we hope that these will provide some ideas that would be appropriate for your section.
We conclude with a few things that the sections can do to contribute to the national program.

CFO Concerned About Power Struggles per Deloitte
Norman Marks, CRMA, CPA, is a vice president for SAP and has been a chief audit executive and chief risk officer at major global corporations for more than 20 years.
Both internal auditors and board members need to know what their CFOs are thinking and worrying about. Deloitte has a valuable publication, CFO Signals, which will help.
In their Q2 2012 report, Deloitte has again surveyed CFOs from large North American companies (predominantly over $3bn in revenue).
It seems, according to the survey, that the priority has shifted from uncertainties about strategy to concerns over execution. Major change initiatives top the list of concerns, followed by regulatory change and poor company performance.
One revealing tidbit that should be of concern to boards and practitioners is that "internal power struggles" are a major challenge for 25% of the CFOs surveyed.
I suggest that boards probe this, as internal power struggles may significantly inhibit executive and corporate performance. For example, there might be problems with:
- Teamwork and trust among the executive leadership
- Problems between the CEO and CFO
- The sharing of information
- and more
Internal auditors should similarly be concerned about power struggles at the top. How will this affect the identification and management of risk, and the quality of oversight and other controls?
I welcome your comments and observations.

The answer is nothing. But, apparently that's enough for some movie-goers.
Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Freaky viral campaigns for 'RoboCop,' 'Elysium,' 'Pacific Rim' and 'Cult'
The next best thing to being at the San Diego Comic-Con is discovering viral elements of shows and films that are making an appearance there.
Oh, who am I kidding? Being there is the only way to get firsthand knowledge of the upcoming slate of sci-fi, genre, fantasy and horror works in the pipeline. That said, some viral elements have already escaped, which you can read about and watch below.
The first is a video promoting Omnicorp, the weapons and technology manufacturer behind "Robocop." A sequel to the 1987 film about a cyborg cop with human memories is due in August of 2013. The new film stars Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson, and is directed by Jose Padhila, the Brazilian director of the riveting documentary "Bus 174."
Next up is a viral video for Elysium, the new film by Neill Blomkamp, the director of best picture nominee "District 9." The film is about a dystopian future where the rich live in a space station with strict anti-immigration laws, above a densely populated Earth.
It stars Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. You can apply to travel to the planet through the Elysium Citizen Initiative at the website ItsBetterUpThere.com. The film is due in March.
In Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim," humans pilot giant robots to fend of an alien invasion.
Sounds corny, but the poster, at left, looks intriguing. Though it does resemble "Iron Giant."
Del Toro, of course, created the "Hellboy" films and the classic fantasy film "Pan's Labyrinth."
The film is due next July.
You can follow its progress at del Toro's official fan website.
Earlier this year a viral video/audio escaped with the title "Strange Sounds Heard Worldwide," which some attributed to the del Toro film.
However others suggested the sounds might be related to a new Godzilla film.
If you're bored, listen here.The not so creepy noise sounds like vuvuzelas mating.
Lastly, I watched the screener for the new CW series "Cult" last night and I have to say I was hooked. I was so creeped out that I refuse to follow the so-called creator of the series @StevenRae on Twitter. Input the same name into IMDB.com and it goes to Rockne S. O'Bannon, real-life writer producer of a host of genre shows including "Farscape" and "V."
"Cult" is a show within a show - uh - show. Both are named "Cult" and both air on the CW.
The show within the show is about a violent cult leader. And those watching it find secret messages and meaning in its details. But those who stumble on its real secrets find themselves in danger. And when a reporter's brother who is a fan of the show disappears, the reporter follows the same clues to learn what happened to him.
Some shows and films just have viral campaigns.
But "Cult" is about a viral campaign for a show that, like "The Ring" kills the people caught up in it. And when they die they all say the same thing: "Well hey, these things snap right off." Which is a punchline from a Far Side cartoon, spoken by a circus bear removing its muzzle. Even creepier is that the only trailer I found for it is in Russian. Watch it below.

Both Gary Oldman and Samuel Jackson are terrific actors but what can Hollywood writers really bring to the table to refresh the Robocop character other than new computer generated special effects, bigger explosions and more vivid shootings?
The answer is nothing. But, apparently that's enough for some movie-goers.

Possible Upcoming SW Update to 808 Pureview to Bring 12Mp and 9Mp Pureview Options?
Marc over at PureViewclub.com has gotten his hands on some screenshots from an alleged update to the 808 (113.010.1508)- a firmware that was being pushed out for a while then pulled back. One of the users with a custom firmware of the same version sent in the following screenshots, showing the 12 and 9 megapixel options in Creative mode (currently only 2,5 and 8 megapixels).
It's possible that Nokia are tweaking something in the camera for a future update; or maybe testing something out for the rumored Lumia/Pureview Eos?

- News! Upcoming SW Update to 808 Pureview to Bring 12Mp and 9Mp Pureview Options ? | February 16, 2013
I hope nokia releases a firmware update for my 603 too. An update that can make my phone brick,so I can buy a new phone.
LoLzzz, (-_-) why?
Just flash a 5800 firmware on your 603, so it will brick for sure. But wait 'til MWC!
I say its promised support for the 808 and likely some development honed on the EOS project that they were kind enough to port to the 808.
Or its a custom mod, much like shooting modes added to the N8-00
Well of course modifying the resources for the strings themselves can be easily achieved. What would make much more sense is some images coming from the 808 directly, not shopped lateron, with original metatags and EXIF data!
Once we get that, I'll go for a genuine. I don't think this is anything from Nokia, just a user modification done to a custom firmware.
Prove me wrong please!
Also, I wouldn't with for a 12MP mode… It would simply ruin the PureView Mode… Supersampling and so on? For 12MP it would mean less oversampling and thus a higher resolution at higher grain
Actually I would like to see 16MP mode. In addition to the old modes.
That would be interesting.
Actually I didn't see the link to the image…
taken from PureViewClub
Interesting! I'm eager to see more!
And at 12MP even if it would mean less oversampling, you'll still get a 12MP superior than that of N8-00, whether in 4:3 or 16:9, due to 3x oversampling super-pixel (12 x 3 = 36), indeed without zoom.
Can't wait for Steve's next N8-00 12MP vs 808PV 12MP head-on @ AAS
You can download my camera mod for all resolution (38,34,12,9,8,6,5,4,3,2 Mpx)and video 1080p,720p,480p (blank),360p here :
only for hack phone.
Download and insert (or replace) to C:private-10202be9 – insert here.
Restart phone.
Fully working I used about 2 month.
Gordon Ramsay . I trying add 16Mpx mod many times,but never succes. I give up.
Thanks for the answer!
Actually 12MP seems to be really interesting option. It pretty much solves those issues when there is not enough light for native resolution but it's not that dark.
Do you happen to know if the DSP has and frame buffer of it's own or does it write all the data directly to the system memory? It would be also very interesting to know how the DSP fetches the data from the sensor. What kind of memory the sensor has and how fast it can be fetched.
works great.. thanks!
But my only question is that are you sure its still using the pureview tech to oversample? and not just taking a regular 9mp or 6mp shot now?
Afterall this is the same mod file that was used on the N8, which did not have pureview tech..
My english is very bad,so I can´t explanation,but trust me,this is pureview tech,this is no full resolution,so pureview tech working. You can se photo in you PC (1:1 pix) and you will see that details is more impresive than full resolution (38Mpx).
Of course,pureview 12Mpx is little worse than 8,5 or 3 MPX.The same like 8Mpx is little worse than 5Mpx and 5Mpx is little worse than 3Mpx. I hope you understand :D.
yes, i understand.. thank you for sharing again!
Personally I don't see Nokia releasing any further improvements for the 808, I think the support we'll see from this point will be bug fixes etc. only.
Knowing how Elop's Nokia like to bring all attention to the Lumia range these days, and have never really been interested in pushing the 808, I can't see them wanting to enhance the 808 and give it more positive press.
I think this is upcoming Lumia Pureview related, perhaps being tested and trialed on a developer 808.
its just a mod, haven't you read the comments? has nothing to do with official Nokia software releases or the Lumia.. its another hack
You could always shoot at 38Mpix and then downsize to whatever you wish using the Lanczos algoritm:
to whatever size you want.. its pretty close to what happens in real time with the 808.
I somehow remember that at the time of the release of the 808 it was claimed that combining pixels can't be done later. The claim was that the DSP got some additional information from the sensor, that was not possible to save even on a RAW format.
That was probably just the same overhype that was very common when the 808 was released.
It appears that the 808 can't really save RAW images so that's one reason PureView is actually handy. JPG comperession makes it almost impossible to to that in post production if the picture was taken in low light. There is just too much noise for the compression to mess up with.
Its not that the 808 can't save RAW images, its that it doesn't. The DSP will work with the raw data from the sensor and generate the resulting relatively sublime image.
Taking an already processed 38mp JPG image and slapping it through a resize filter really isn't anything like the same thing.
As for the 808 hype, it was justified, the camera really is very good. Anyone saying otherwise needs an eye test.
It's not known if it can save the RAW images. It's possible that the hardware implementation doesn't allow it. It's also possible that the hardware allows RAW images to be saved. Whatever the truth about hardware is, the reality is that it's not possible to save uncompressed images like it's in iPhone.
Taking an JPG image may not be the same thing but if there were RAW data, I'm pretty sure it would be possible to combine those pixels in post production.
As for the hype, not it was not justified. While it's great, it just didn't live up to the hype. It doesn't make P&S obsolete and it doesn't definitely compete with DSLR's except in some very special circumstances.
As for the eyes test, I had one just yesterday and I had no problems.
brain test would suit you better
Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Hype was not made by Nokia. It was generated by media, after doing some real life comparisions like gsmarena did. So i would say that hype was as big good 808 is. P&Ss are getting obsolete with or without 808. Huge decline in sales prove it.
as big as 808 is good*
Hype is rarely generated by the company itself. The hype around iPhone is not really generated by Apple. All that hype about the next Galaxy model is not generated by Samsung. Promoting the phone does not equal overhyping.
There just was all that overhype for the 808. It doesn't matter who made it to happen. There just were overhype.
While the P&S are becoming less and less popular, there is no reason whatsoever to believe the 808 obsoleted them. Even the 2012 Lumia sales obsoleted P&S cameras more than 808 did.
judging by your posts it really does
Time for you to make a reality check?
time for you to visit the doctor
Time for you to visit the real world?
in real world 808 rocks and you will have to troll a lot more to earn money to buy it
Unfortunately not in real world sales.
unfortunately for whom? I'm not Nokia shareholder so I couldn't care less for the number sold.
More unit sales, more support for the device.
Apparently you don't have one because you don't care about the support.
More unit sales gives you more support from third parties.
No it's not. This has been beaten to death already.
I guess you people are insisting it was not while the reality is somewhat different.
Are you sure this is for the 808?.Maybe it is the rumoured new firmware for the N8, with a new camera interface, and thats why it has 12, 9 and 3 Megapixels…
Its an update to downgrade 808′s camera.quality, in order to.make later PureView WP have much better pic. (remember n8?)
i doubt they will even fix obvious 'fisheye' lens problem on 808.
ROFL! yup you are completely right. As pure symbian fans we must only use devices untainted by elop, so GO BACK AND USE N8 PR 1.0. FOR SYMBIAN!
thats great news..
sad that the skype for belle has some bugs, please fix it and give us belle fp2 keyboard support

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Packers' Rodgers about Jennings' sister's tweets: 'Not a big deal'
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said his relationship with wide receiver Greg Jennings is "fine" in the aftermath of Jennings' sister's tweets criticizing Rodgers during the last game against the Vikings.
"That kind of stuff is never going to come between myself and my teammates," Rodgers said Thursday on his weekly radio show on WAUK-AM (540). "I think we have all seen over the years - and in training camp we got a presentation about some of the stuff that athletes have said on Twitter that is a little silly. You just remember the power that Twitter has. The fact that someone's opinion can ring all over the country and get a lot of press like that. Stuff on the Internet, like it's said in one of my favorite movies, 'The Social Network,' it's written in ink. It stays there for awhile. That being said, that's never going to come between Greg and I. We got a great relationship. My brother says some silly stuff from time to time. Not going to fault Greg or his sister for anything that was said. I mean it was family and emotions. Not a big deal."
Valyncia Jennings blasted the Packers and Rodgers on Sunday in a series of tweets, at one point saying Rodgers was "the most overrated QB in the league."
Rodgers visited a number of other topics with reporter Jason Wilde, including:
- Making the transition to preparing for an opponent the Packers are playing for the second straight week: "I thought it was it was a good week. The preparation was a little different, similar to a few years back when we played Arizona in back-to-back weeks, last game of the season and the playoffs. The same opponent. Not much new film to watch. A chance to watch some older stuff, if you wanted to do some extra film study. But it comes down to execution in games like this. Anytime you are in the playoffs, there is so much film out there, regardless of what team you are playing. There's going to be a lot of stuff you can watch. There's going to be a lot of familiar stuff you are going to see on game day. You just have to execute better than your opponent does."
- About his own preparation: "It's about doing what I got to do to be ready to play and not flood myself with too much information. You want to be a cerebral player on the field and trust your instincts. And also to be able to have the recall of the things you have seen during the week in practice and on film and the two previous games that you played against that opponent. So, the third time against them. We played the Bears three times back in 2010. It's a test. It's a test because you know the guys. You know the way they play. They know the way you like to play. It's about can you do what you want to do better than they can in their attempts to stop you."
- On the possibility of having the full corps of available receivers: "I am happy. It's exciting getting all those guys back. I don't know what the percentage of health is going to be but to have them all back there gives us – the stable is full."
- On getting Charles Woodson back in the secondary: "It's huge. He's a hall of famer in the back end. Just having his ball skills back there and his ability to diagnose plays very quickly. He's a very good tackler. He has a new facemask. That's pretty cool. . . . I don't know if he is going to wear it, but he has a new facemask in practice. It's got a lot of bars on it. Not quite the Chris Canty facemask, but it's close to that." Canty is a defensive tackle for the New York Giants.
- On how the cold affects the footballs: "They are a little bit more difficult to throw in the cold weather. A little bit slick. And they're cold. Those are two of the things that make it more difficult to throw. One issue I have with the footballs. Small issue. I think that there is zero advantage for a quarterback who likes to have the footballs pumped up slightly more than whatever the pressure that they test, the referees. I'm not super appreciative of the fact that sometimes they take air out of the footballs that I like to throw. Now, if they are taking air out to make it under the limit, I think that could be a potential advantage, especially for someone with smaller hands. I like the footballs pumped up. And sometimes the referees will take air out of the footballs. The first thing I'll ask one of our sideline guys, 'Did they take any air out of the footballs this week?' What the cold air does do it makes them a little firmer . . . . I do enjoy that."

In other news, Aaron Rodgers resists the temptation to say what he really feels.Hide replies
Exactly, because somebody lit the fuel under sis to begin with. I wonder who that was?
fishhead-- it wasn't greg. it was her pocketbook.
Class reaction to Jennings' sister.
I think Valyncia has a future posting on here!Hide replies
And I really would like to have heard the conversation between Greg and Sis after he found out.
How about the one at the family Thanksgiving celebration that led to her posting the remarks to begin with?
Not familiar with that...or are you playin'?
How do you know she already hasn't been?
That's her new tagline.
Odd that Jennings sister would be pissed on the day Greg put up his best day of the year. Over 100 yards that led all receivers.Hide replies
I have to agree there. She just wants Greg to get paid. She demonstrates her ignorance, calling the Packers cheap, she obviously doesn't get it that they have other players to pay, that are more important to the team. Jennings is a great receiver, but with the corps of WRs they have, and the other players with contracts expiring soon, he's not a top priority.
Absolutely right, hinkel and anonymous. I wonder how Greg and his sister will feel when he's on the receiving end of a much, much lesser quarterback.
BR. I think there will be less receiving with another QB, especially if he is on a team and is the only good receiver and doubled his whole life. And, if it is an incentive laden contract she really will be howling with fewer receptions. I just hope she does not blow up too many bridges behind him as I assume he would want to retire as a Packer when that time comes in his career.
Valyncia would fit right in here. I'd point here towards Campen.Hide replies
Do you see Campen in your sleep every night? Do you talk about him at work, at the dinner table, when you're waiting for a street light to turn green...?? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might want to call this number: 1-900-OH-JAMES..........;-) ;-)
Bottom line is that Greg's numbers are small this year because of injury. So all Greg has left is these last few games to prove that he still has it. The complaining has been going on within the Jennings family circle. Which means selfishly they want Greg to have some huge games. If he had played all season and the numbers were there everything would be fine.
Aaron as a leader says no big deal. Which is cool. It's playoff time and stuff like this can't get in the way. So we move on.Hide replies
I'm not worried about what Greg Jennings sister has to say. It's a non issue. Gregs injury is what it is. The Packers aren't going to pay him 11 million dollars because they have outstanding receivers without him. He's a fine player, but not worth 11 million. Aaron will have a great game if that line blocks for him.
Rodgers usally has a great game regardless of the pass protection's inconsistency....
Rodgers sees all the social media BS for what it is - BS. It's background noise. Shame that the reporters have to keep it alive......
Rodgers and his fellow players should tell the press to just STFU about it. It's a non-issue.Hide replies
Greg Jennings' sister says a bunch of stunning, anti-Rodgers things... and you blame the MEDIA for writing about it?
Yes, I do blame the media. It's not news-worthy. It's nothing more than tabloid gossip journalism. Why on Earth should ANYONE care about what some player's sister thinks or is babbling on some stupid social media website? It's completely irrelevant to the Packers and their mission to win games.
This is no better than the office gossip-monger going around and telling everyone, "Did you hear what so-and-so said?"
The media is at fault for giving Twitter the appearance of importance or credibility. It's unfiltered, irresponsible gossip and blah-blah-blah. It has no place in real journalism.
Yes, that damn media, seeing that anything about the Packers drives most people into this state into a frenzy and trying to cash in on their insatiable demands. Why don't they write about field hockey?
So to you, the media should only report on items that help the Packers "mission to win"???
Of course it's newsworthy. Kind of like hearsay in a trial. A third party statement is allowed in if it's not about the truth of what is said but if it is relevant to what someone thought or how they reacted. In this case, what Greg's sister posted isn't newsworthy, but Rodgers' reaction and his relationship with Greg based on the tweets certainly is.
Rodgers just considers the source and lumps it, takes it to the dump, and dump it. It does tell you something about Jennings, though. The guy is gone and acting like a guy that is gone.
If any of you dudes are heading to Lambeau, sneak in a little "fisty pump" and sneak down to the ball bin and give Arodg that "full stiffy" he covets.
I for one do hope that Jennings looks at the next four games as a 'contract year' and has amazing games, even if it leads to getting signed by another team.
And yeah, I said next FOUR games.Hide replies
It could be "one and done" I thought they would not have a problem at Lambeau but its looking like Minnesota has surpassed our woeful performances. Ponder is getting good protection and is much more adept at delivering the ball. And, we have no answer for Peterson. So, how do we win, we sux.
Two days ago, you had the Pack winning at home.
Now? One and done.
He was sober two days ago.
The radio show has been reduced to the Jason Wilde man-crush hour... and has lost its appeal.

I announced during Ray Ozzie's keynote at the Microsoft PDC that Seesmic is building a programmable Twitter client so I am glad that Dave Winer likes this idea too and might be interested in building the first features. In fact it is the main reason why we decided to entirely re-write Seesmic Desktop in native Windows code, building a plugin architecture in a Twitter client was just impossible, right now, with Adobe Air.
Seesmic for Windows is ready to become a programmable client and Windows allows us to do it in a secure way. We are hoping that it becomes a development platform such as Firefox and its very successful plugins.
Dave gives an interesting example of a feature he would like that would probably not get built in a client like Seesmic otherwise:
"for example, it's been about two years since I first asked for an "unfollow-with-timeout."
Use-case: Someone is live-tweeting a conference I don't care about and hogging up all my bandwidth. I want to unfollow them for just a day. Now I don't think the client guys are going to implement this anytime soon, but it's the kind of feature a few hundred people would kill for."
We have received hundreds of mails from developers who would like to build features or their services integrated in Seesmic clients and we are building the platform to let them do that. In fact we have already started asking our users what services they would like to see integrated on Seesmic and vote for the most popular ones.
Integrating outside services should become the most popular way to program Seesmic clients and it is definitely the way the industry is going since we see new vertical applications such as stock twits (which even launched its own client) or very targeted directories such as vc maven for venture capitalists on Twitter, giantredcarpet for celebrities and many more. Stock Twits should not have to build its own client, our vision is to make Seesmic flexible enough that other services can just use it as a platform.
Another example are the social software themselves. From non US social software to corporate twitter solutions such as the new salesforce chatter or Yammer. In the last months, Yahoo, MySpace, LinkedIn and Six Apart with Typepad Micro have all launched their status update service, we believe all social software services in the world will have one and we simply cannot support them all ourselves, so the Seesmic Platform will also allow them to build their own service into Seesmic.
This is precisely what we are working on and many developers are already getting ready to write the first plugins.
We are aiming at making our clients a platform not only on Windows but also on the web and have already started experimenting with two partners deeply integrated already in Seesmic web, Tweetmeme and MrTweet. Tweetmeme will provide the number of retweets, page and picture previews in the next release of Seesmic Web while MrTweet already adds more info to Twitter profiles in Seesmic web, such as how frequently someone tweets for example.
We are experimenting with a few developers right now but are aiming at making Seesmic Web's user base growth available to all developers very soon
We are not ready to announce the details on the language and how to build for Seesmic for Windows and Seesmic Web yet as we are actively working on it, but we will as soon as we are ready.
In the meantime, please let us know what services you would like to be integrated and if you are a developer what plugins you would be interested in building (use comments below and also make sure you join teamseesmic to get the latest news) so that we get our platform ready to support as many as possible. Thanks in advance for your feedback and your patience while we build seesmic platform, but we're on the case.
update: please leave also your feedback for Seesmic for Windows and Seesmic web on the dedicated pages that could also give us and developers ideas. Thanks.

FW officer dies in collision on I-35
09:53 AM CST on Sunday, December 17, 2006
By MARISSA ALANIS / The Dallas Morning News
A Fort Worth police officer responding to a call about a stranded woman with a flat tire off I-35 early Sunday morning was killed when his squad car was rear-ended by another car.
Police received a call at 3:38 a.m. Sunday about the stranded woman in a BMW at Morningside Drive and I-35 south, said Fort Worth Police Lt. Dean Sullivan.
A good Samaritan in a gray Dodge pickup truck had also pulled over to help the woman.
The officer, who remains unidentified, was inside his squad car at 3:36 a.m. when the driver of a Lexus slammed into the back of his car.
The collision triggered a chain reaction as the squad car hit the back of the womans BMW, which then struck the pickup. The squad car and Lexus both caught fire.
Speed is the predominant factor in this one, Lt. Sullivan said.
Lt. Sullivan said the officer perished inside of his car when the collision pinned him in his front seat.
The driver of the Lexus was taken by helicopter ambulance to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas where he is in critical condition in the burn unit.
The good Samaritan, whose identity is unknown, tried to rescue the officer.
He was the one who hurt himself trying to save the officers life, Lt. Sullivan said. He broke the glass with his hands, and got injuries to his hands.
The good Samaritan was treated for his injuries and released at the scene. The stranded woman was not injured.

Fort Worth Police Officer Killed In Crash
POSTED: 9:24 am CST December 17, 2006
UPDATED: 6:42 pm CST December 17, 2006
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A Fort Worth police officer was killed early Sunday when his patrol car was struck from behind and burst into flames as he was helping a motorist with a flat tire, police said.
Officer Dwayne Freeto stopped to help a woman change a flat tire at about 4 a.m. in the southbound lanes of I-35W between Morningside and Rosedale.
Investigators said when Freeto returned to his vehicle, just moments later, a speeding Lexus slammed into the back of his cruiser. Both vehicles burst into flames on impact and Freeto was trapped inside his car, police said. After the fire was extinguished his vehicle was almost unrecognizable.
"The officer was pronounced deceased inside the car. We don't know what that is a result of, the crash or the fire. But it's just terrible," Lt. Dean Sullivan said.
The impact of the crash forced the patrol car into the stalled BMW and the pickup truck of a driver that had also stopped to help the motorist.
The 20-year-old driver of the Lexus was taken to Parkland Hospital's burn unit where police said he is in critical condition. Blood tests will determine if he was intoxicated.
The woman the officer was assisting was not injured and was talking to investigators. The pick up truck driver injured his hand trying to rescue the officer.
"He broke the glass with his hands, and got injuries to his hands," Sullivan said.
A spokesman for the department said investigators are trying to determine the cause of the accident, but speed is the prominent factor. Police also said although it is early in their investigation; they believe alcohol may have played a role.
Officials said Freeto, 34, was a rookie who had just graduated from the police academy in March, and had previously served in the U.S. Army. Freeto lived in Grandview and was married with two daughters ages 3 and 9.
Later in the morning, officers gathered at the police academy to support each other. Fort Worth Police Chief Ralph Mendoza said it is a difficult time.
"I hope that the citizens of Fort Worth support this family, support the department, and help them heal," Mendoza said.
Freeto died doing his job protecting the public, Mayor Mike Moncrief said.
"Please know that he was one of Fort Worth's finest," Moncrief said. "There's a reason we call them Fort Worth's finest. That's because they are."
Fort Worth Police have set up a help and support phone bank to aide with questions, condolences, or donation offers the public may have. That number is 817-392-6175.

I dont know if this wouldve helped the guy get him out of there in time, but I'd advise everyone to get one and keep it in the car just in case. Ive heard they are quite useful, and are available at most hardware stores

Stranded Motorist Calls Officer Her 'Guardian Angel'
(video of her account on web site)
FORT WORTH, Texas -- The two survivors and witnesses of the fiery crash that killed Fort Worth police officer Dwayne Freeto said he lost his life protecting theirs.
Sunday morning Adriana Delgadillo was stranded on Interstate 35W with a flat tire when Freeto stopped to help.
"I mean he was my guardian angel, my hero and if it had not been for him I just don't know what would have happened," Delgadillo said. "He told me he was there to protect me and that's exactly what he did."
Adriana's friend Roy Delgado was also there trying to get the flat tire off of the black BMW.
"We finally just gave up, we couldn't do it," Delgado said.
They called roadside assistance and Freeto offered to wait to protect them from traffic. When Freeto returned to his vehicle a speeding Lexus slammed into the back of his cruiser.

The impact of the crash forced the patrol car into the stalled BMW and Delgado's Dodge pickup truck.
"All I heard was the impact, the explosion, and how the police car was coming right at us," Delgado said
The officer's Crown Victoria and the Lexus burst into flames on impact and Freeto was trapped inside his car. Delgado broke the windows of the burning car trying to save the officer.
"I tried to reach in there and the flames were really, really high," Delgado said.
Delgadillo said the horror of the tragedy is unforgettable.
"All I can think of is the car, and his family and kids and how hard it must be for them," Delgadillo said.
Samuel Lee Hilburn, the driver accused of hitting Freeto was still hospitalized at Parkland Hospital Monday night with severe burns. Police are waiting for blood tests to see if he was drunk at the time of the crash. Police told NBC 5 they believe he will face criminal charges.

Surgeon suing University of Missouri
An orthopedic surgeon who was hired by the University of Missouri to take over a position at a partner hospital is suing.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that Avinash Jadhav alleges that the university tried to ruin his career. He is seeking $15 million in punitive damages in the lawsuit filed earlier this month in Boone County Circuit Court.
His attorney says his client was hired to work at Fitzgibbons Hospital in Marshall with the understanding that he would take over the caseload of the current resident orthopedic surgeon. But that never happened.
The lawsuit details how the situation unraveled after Jadhav failed to build up a profitable practice. Smith says the hospital wasn't big enough for two orthopedic surgeons.
The university doesn't comment on pending litigation.

Here are the latest Whispers we're hearing from our sources throughout the AFC:
• For a Colts defense that has not made enough big plays and consistently fails to get to the quarterback, we hear the pressure is increasing on OLB Dwight Freeney, who, in a contract year, has been a complete nonfactor as he transitions to a new position. In his defense, Freeney suffered a high ankle sprain early in Week One and missed the next two games. However, we hear Freeney has come to his own defense too often, repeatedly referencing his injured ankle when asked about his lack of production. We hear it would be a major surprise if Freeney is back with the Colts next season.
• Browns offensive coordinator Brad Childress said that rookie RB Trent Richardson has begun to show more patience as a runner. "You want to do more so you're going to try to do more and that's not always the right way to go as a running back," Childress said. "That happens with every running back, he's not the Lone Ranger."
• With half the NFL regular season in the books, it seems the right time for the annual discussion of how underrated Texans DRE Antonio Smith continues to be. The way we hear it, Smith is getting the credit he deserves from NFL coaches and executives, who marvel at how well-rounded his game is and what an under-the-radar cog he is in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' "D."
• The Jets had high expectations for DE Muhammad Wilkerson in his second season, and one daily team observer called Wilkerson the most consistent player on the Jets' "D" this season. "I think I'm just playing more fast," Wilkerson told the team's website this week. "I'm recognizing things quicker." Rex Ryan did say last month the team wants more out of Wilkerson, who leads all Jets D-linemen with 36 tackles, but only three have been for a loss. Wilkerson led the team with 13 TFLs last season.
• The Patriots' O-line has come under scrutiny at times this season, and has rarely been at full strength, but it had its best game in Week Eight heading into the bye. OTs Nate Solder and Sebastian Vollmer held Rams DEs Robert Quinn and Chris Long without a sack or a QB hit. Vollmer's play on the right side is key as well in run blocking, as he aims to earn a new contract this offseason.
• The Broncos stuck with new PR Trindon Holliday, even after a muffed punt in his first game with the club in Week Six. He had a 22-yard punt return in Week Eight. We were told that the Broncos wanted a more dynamic punt returner than Jim Leonhard, who is safe in terms of catching punts but doesn't have game-breaking speed. Kickoff returns, with rookie Omar Bolden, remain a struggle as the Broncos rank 31st in the league in kickoff-return average.
• Our spies in Jacksonville who interact with head coach Mike Mularkey daily indicate that he seems as much like the coach of a 7-1 football team as one that has a 1-7 record. It begs the question: Does all of Mularkey's constant positive reinforcement eventually send the wrong message to a team that simply hasn't been good enough? Mularkey's emphasis continues to be on progress the team is making, but at some point, shouldn't the myriad mistakes his team is making no longer be tolerated?
• Chiefs third-round rookie OT Donald Stephenson has shown promise, but the sack for a safety allowed against the Chargers in Week Nine is an example of how far he has to go. The Chiefs must tie up Branden Albert long term, and watching Stephenson struggle as a third tackle backed up on his own goal line will remind them he is a long-term project.

I write about leadership myths, and bust them one-by–one.
Over the years, I've observed just about every type of leadership development program on the planet. And the sad thing is, most of them don't even come close to accomplishing what they were designed to do – build better leaders. In today's column I'll share the #1 reason leadership development programs fail, and give you 20 things to focus on to ensure yours doesn't become another casualty.
According to the American Society of Training and Development, U.S. businesses spend more than $170 Billion dollars on leadership-based curriculum, with the majority of those dollars being spent on "Leadership Training." Here's the thing – when it comes to leadership, the training industry has been broken for years. You don't train leaders you develop them – a subtle yet important distinction lost on many. Leadership training is alive and well, but it should have died long, long ago.
This may be heresy to some – but training is indeed the #1 reason leadership development fails. While training is often accepted as productive, it rarely is. The terms training and development have somehow become synonymous when they are clearly not. This is more than an argument based on semantics – it's painfully real. I'll likely take some heat over my allegations against the training industry's negative impact on the development of leaders, and while this column works off some broad generalizations, in my experience having worked with literally thousands of leaders, they are largely true.
An Overview of The Problem
My problem with training is it presumes the need for indoctrination on systems, processes and techniques. Moreover, training assumes that said systems, processes and techniques are the right way to do things. When a trainer refers to something as "best practices" you can with great certitude rest assured that's not the case. Training focuses on best practices, while development focuses on next practices. Training is often a rote, one directional, one dimensional, one size fits all, authoritarian process that imposes static, outdated information on people. The majority of training takes place within a monologue (lecture/presentation) rather than a dialog. Perhaps worst of all, training usually occurs within a vacuum driven by past experience, not by future needs.
In Pictures: How To Be Better At Your Job In 2013
The Solution
The solution to the leadership training problem is to scrap it in favor of development. Don't train leaders, coach them, mentor them, disciple them, and develop them, but please don't attempt to train them. Where training attempts to standardize by blending to a norm and acclimating to the status quo, development strives to call out the unique and differentiate by shattering the status quo. Training is something leaders dread and will try and avoid, whereas they will embrace and look forward to development. Development is nuanced, contextual, collaborative, fluid, and above all else, actionable.
The following 20 items point out some of the main differences between training and development:
1. Training blends to a norm – Development occurs beyond the norm.
2. Training focuses on technique/content/curriculum – Development focuses on people.
3. Training tests patience – Development tests courage.
4. Training focuses on the present – Development focuses on the future.
5. Training adheres to standards – Development focuses on maximizing potential.
6. Training is transactional – Development is transformational.
7. Training focuses on maintenance – Development focuses on growth.
8. Training focuses on the role – Development focuses on the person.
9. Training indoctrinates – Development educates.
10. Training maintains status quo – Development catalyzes innovation.
11. Training stifles culture – Development enriches culture.
12. Training encourages compliance – Development emphasizes performance.
13. Training focuses on efficiency – Development focuses on effectiveness.
14. Training focuses on problems - Development focuses on solutions.
15. Training focuses on reporting lines – Development expands influence.
16. Training places people in a box – Development frees them from the box.
17. Training is mechanical – Development is intellectual.
18. Training focuses on the knowns – Development explores the unknowns.
19. Training places people in a comfort zone – Development moves people beyond their comfort zones.
20. Training is finite – Development is infinite.
If what you desire is a robotic, static thinker – train them. If you're seeking innovative, critical thinkers – develop them. I have always said it is impossible to have an enterprise which is growing and evolving if leadership is not.

Great post Mike and spot on with the differentiation between 'training' and 'developing'…. So critical when developing employees and leaders to encourage them to be better individuals with their unique talents, skills, and characteristics, rather than 'following the herd'…..
I understand that in a time of crisis, leaders are looking to help out of it and publish lists of qualities of leaders. Being a skeptic, I would like to ask several questions: Are leaders born or made? Leadership is inherits from parents? The leader keeps his subordinates to be leaders if we take jobs? It is always leader or leadership disappears over time?. Being a great leader is good or bad? A dictator is a leader?. I have always believed that many brains are better than one
Great! This is now part of my next Training….oups..Development presentation. No 8. summarizes pretty much the entire idea behind your analysis. Well done.
Mike, each of the 20 are spot on. I've yet to meet a leader who needs training. They do however need to understand themselves better so that they can focus on developing the use of their talents and expertise better. I hope this link to my recent article helps readers understand why we need better leadership development – it's our employees, http://bit.ly/WxHFFU.
Dear Mike: Excuse my poor English, but I am not American. I love your answers, but I want to qualify some: 1.-It is very difficult to distinguish a real leader of a impostor.2. – When a leader makes a mistake can take your organization to the disaster and even fatal tragedy and you have enough examples . 3. – The leadership is not inherited because it is genetic, like the kings they have blue blood. 4. – Leadership is not looking and based on some innate abilities that develop as a team 5. – Many dictators have begun as leaders, Hitler won an election in Germany, led a large crowd and was a great desastre.6 . – Never confuse a leader with a genius, Mozart was a genius but without leadership. Conclusion: Leadership is positive whenever true and without excesses. Mike Are you okay?. I would love to debate with people always so smart and prepared as you
Mike please do not forget its the balance of both. Both training and leadership is required. Training to provide the more static framework where theory and practise can be analysed and package of skills can be learned and leadership as you rightly pointed out as ongoing development. Please noticed that by eliminating training from leadership development you are eliminating framework which is always helpful when recognising certain facts and knowledge in that field.

News 2011: (US) The Archimedes Palimpsest Project
"Welcome. The subject of this website is a manuscript of extraordinary importance to the history of science, the Archimedes Palimpsest. This thirteenth century prayer book contains erased texts that were written several centuries earlier still. These erased texts include two treatises by Archimedes that can be found nowhere else, The Method and Stomachion.
The manuscript sold at auction to a private collector on the 29th October 1998. The owner deposited the manuscript at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, a few months later. Since that date the manuscript has been the subject of conservation, imaging and scholarship, in order to better read the texts. The Archimedes Palimpsest project, as it is called, has shed new light on Archimedes and revealed new texts from the ancient world. These new texts include speeches by an Athenian orator from the fourth century B.C. called Hyperides, and a third century A.D. commentary on Aristotle's Categories. …"

SANFORD — The tournament final for the Yellow Jacket Invitational, hosted by Lee County High, had four teams – all ranked in the News & Observer top 15 – that have much to prove even as their seasons have raced out to eye-opening starts.
The No. 7 Apex girls wanted to prove they could repeat the tournament title, and they did with a 56-44 win against No. 9 Northwood.
For the host No. 5 Lee County boys, it was a chance to prove their gaudy win-loss record has been no product of chance. The Yellow Jackets came from behind to defeat No. 11 Cary 70-61.
Girls' game
Northwood (8-3) led 20-19 at halftime, but Apex (10-1) opened the third quarter with great efficiency. The Cougars scored on all but two of their possessions in the period, with point guard Cierra Brown running the point.
The 22-9 advantage in the quarter came in handy when Northwood, led by playmaking guard Shontai Totten (21 points), tried to rally.
"The third quarter is always our best quarter. We always come out running," said Brown, who had six assists.
Apex's size advantage helped beat the Chargers on the boards 35-21. Tournament MVP Mia Castagnero, a junior, had 12 points and 12 rebounds.
"The competition was higher this year. We wanted to prove our rankings," Castagnero said. "It's good to get three wins off the tournament."
Tiffany Finley led Apex in points with 13, and Aliya Ruffin added 11 with nine rebounds.
Northwood's only other losses were to No. 1 Chapel Hill and No. 12 Cardinal Gibbons. Apex's only loss was to No. 6 Millbrook.
Apex's Emily Sasser joined Ruffin and Castagnero on the all-tournament team, along with Chatham Central's Ashley Hudson and Northwood's Totten and Mariah Morrow.
Boys' game
Lee County (12-1) and Cary (7-4) were conference opponents for the last 12 seasons in the Tri-9 Conference, but Lee is now 3A and the Yellow Jackets have matched their highest win total of the past five seasons.
"We had a lot to prove. We hadn't won our own tournament in a long time," center DeWaun McEachin said. "I think we're on the same page. Everybody is having fun together. We're clicking and we're going to try to keep it going as long as we can."
Cary led 38-30 at halftime. The Imps could do little wrong in transition, but Lee was patient in pounding it down low to McEachin (24 points).
"They did such a good job of interior screening and post entries," Cary coach Allan Gustafson said. "They've got some big guys and they pound it in there."
With 6 minutes, 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, McEachin left the game with gash above his right eye. He had 22 points and 10 rebounds at the time, and Lee trailed by three.
Even without him for the next four minutes, Lee built a lead thanks to 15 points from Hunter Jackson and 14 from Jerry Pullum.
Point guard Tre'Von Watson had seven assists.
McEachin was named the tournament MVP. Joining him on the all-tournament team were Overhills' Dexter McRae, Northwood's Ti Pinnix, Cary's Cory Gensler and C.J. Lyon and Lee's Watson.
Gensler had 12 points in the tournament final and Lyon had a team-high 15.

ALBANY -- The Assembly has just begun debate on the new gun control legislation, with passage expected in the next couple hours.
"I am proud ... that New York is taking the lead on this issue because we must prevent and protect our public from the mass destruction that can now take place in literally seconds,'' said Assembly Codes Committee Chairman Joseph Lentol, a Brooklyn Democrat who will be answering questions on the bill from supporters and opponents during the debate.
The Senate passed the bill late last night, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo will swiftly sign the bill into law later this afternoon. Some of its key components, such as lowering the maximum bullet magazine capacity from 10 to seven, will kick in immediately. But Lentol said the assault weapon ban, which Cuomo last night said would be effective immediatley, does not become effective for 90 days. Cuomo said he was worried about a run on the guns if the legislation isn't passed immediately.
UPDATE: Lentol corrected himself; assault weapon restrictions take effect immediately.

Liberty Law Research Fellow Included on Gun Control TeleforumMarch 20, 2013
Today, March 20, Liberty University School of Law Research Fellow Ken Klukowski will be featured on the Teleforum conference call, "Controlling Gun Control: The Seventh Circuit Steps In." The forum is hosted by the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies and sponsored by the Civil Rights and Criminal Law & Procedure Practice Groups.
Klukowski is set to debate anti-gun activist Adam Winkler, professor at UCLA School of Law. The Federalist Society anticipates over 100 law school professors and appellate lawyers from across the country on the call. "I have absolute confidence in Ken. His knowledge of civil rights is unparalleled and will shed light into the darkness that surrounds this guaranteed right of all citizens," said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law.
According to Klukowski, "The recent Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision to strike down Illinois' statewide ban on citizens carrying a loaded weapon
in public has been widely debated and covered.
There is a thin line of division between the Governor
and Attorney General of Illinois on whether to seek a Supreme Court cert petition to have the law reinstated.
I look forward to discuss the court's decision and the road forward for all citizens."
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.
The forum is held for all Federalist Society members. If interested in joining and to hear the Teleforum, click here.

Lebanon city employees dug into the city's storm sewer system Monday morning only to discover that they'll need to do even more digging.
City Administrator John O. Thomas estimated they will be digging another 12-15 feet, and that will mean temporarily closing at least one lane of eastbound traffic on Main Street near the Spalding Avenue intersection.
City employees dug up a portion of South Spalding Avenue near the intersection with Main Street Monday morning. This was an area where they knew a section of the sewer had collapsed.

Tethering or chaining a dog under most state laws means that a person ties a dog with a rope or line to a stationary object. While the laws themselves vary from state to state, they do have several consistent features. Some laws that address tethering allow a dog to be tethered for a reasonable period of time. California prohibits tethering a dog to a stationary object, but allows a dog to be tethered "no longer than is necessary for the person to complete a temporary task that requires the dog to be restrained for a reasonable period." Connecticut makes it illegal for a dog to be confined or tethered for an unreasonable period of time. What constitutes an "unreasonable period" is not defined by statute in Connecticut. However, Texas law states that a reasonable period is one that does not exceed three hours in a 24-hour period, and is "no longer than is necessary for the owner to complete a temporary task that requires the dog to be restrained."
Other states include tethering as part of their anti-cruelty chapters. Indiana defines "neglect" as restraining an animal for more than a brief period in a manner that endangers the animal's life or health by the use of a rope, chain, or tether. West Virginia and the District of Columbia include "cruelly chains" in its list of activities that constitute misdemeanor animal cruelty.
Some states specify the manner as to how a dog must be tethered or chained. For example, Delaware law provides that a tether shall be 6 feet or at least 3 times the length of the dog as measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail. Likewise, Indiana and Michigan also require that the tether be three times the length of the dog. Many states require that the tether allow the dog unencumbered access to food, water, and shelter. States that do allow some form of tethering usually require that the tethering must be done in a manner that does not endanger the dog's welfare.
The table below provides a summary of each state law that addresses tethering. A link is provided in the citation that goes to the actual text of the law.
No person shall tether, fasten, chain, tie, or restrain a dog to any dog house, tree, fence, or other stationary object.
A person may temporarily tether a dog "no longer than is necessary for the person to complete a temporary task."

A trolley system or a tether attached to a pulley in a cable run is allowed provided listed conditions are met.
No person owning or keeping a dog shall subject the dog to cruel conditions or inhumane chaining or the tethering at any time (i.e., exposure to filth, taunting or harassing tethered dog, or subjecting dog to dangerous conditions like animal attacks).
1st offense: issued a written warning or punished by a fine of not more than $50
2nd offense: a fine of not more than $100
3rd or subsequent offense: a fine of not more than $300, and subject to impoundment of the dog in a local shelter at the owner's or guardian's expense pending compliance with this section, or loss of ownership of the dog.
