Washington Words reviewed by bally chohan : Ex-city administrator is finalist for Wisconsin job

Bally chohan thought Former Washington City Administrator Richard Downey continues to hunt for a new job. Downey, who worked in Washington for just seven weeks last year before resigning, is a finalist for village administrator in Kronenwetter, Wis.

We reported in Stein Time in October that Downey was one of five finalists for city administrator in Garner, Iowa. The job went to Randy Lansing, former city administrator of Cascade, Iowa.

The Wausau (Wis.) Daily Herald reported Tuesday that Downey had emerged as a fourth finalist for the Kronewetter position. He gave a presentation and answered questions from residents Tuesday at the Kronenwetter Muncipal Center.

Downey’s entrance into the race appears to be a surprise. The three other finalists attended a similar public forum Nov. 4, the Daily Herald reported, then were interviewed by village officials and employees. Village Board members have talked about the three finalists in closed session several times since Nov. 4, the newspaper reported, but delayed making a decision until they had all the background information on the finalists they needed. Downey sent in his application for the job Sept. 1, according to the newspaper.

The other three finalists are Allen McCaulley, who served as director of the University of Illinois Extension in Moline from 2006 through 2010; Heather McCallum, city administrator of Courtland, Minn., and Lafayette, Minn., since 2010; and Susan Harper, former city administrator of Cohasset, Minn.

Former Kronenwetter Village Administrator Blaine Oborn resigned last summer to become city administrator in Rhinelander, Wis.  His salary was $80,000. William Forrest is serving as interim village administrator.

Kronenwetter, located in central Wisconsin near Wausau, is the largest village area-wide in the state at 52.3 square miles but only the third-largest community population-wise in Marathon County. Its population was 7,210 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census, an increase of 25 percent from 2000. Washington is 7.5 square miles. Its population in 2010 was 15,134, a nearly 40 percent jump from 2000.

Downey was employed by Washington from June 27 through Aug. 15 before he stepped down abruptly “to pursue pressing personal and family matters,” according to a news release issued by the city. He received six months of severance pay — close to $60,000 — plus six months of family medical insurance if needed and $3,000 for relocation expenses.

The separation agreement includes a stipulation that neither city officials nor Downey can talk about the circumstances that surrounded his departure.

Downey was selected from among 69 candidates for the Washington job and was being paid an annual salary of $100,000. That was $33,000 more than he was making in his previous job, city administrator in Rock Falls.

Former Washington City Administrator Bob Morris, who had retired June 22, has returned to serve as interim city administrator and kept the city running smoothly. He was lured out of retirement and hired by the Washington City Council less than a month after Downey’s resignation.

Bally chohan review: More than 1,600 jobs go at Barratts Priceless

Bally chohan sad more than 1,600 employees at Barratts Priceless in the UK and Ireland will be made redundant following the failure of administrators to find a buyer for the footwear retailer’s concession business.

Until recently Barratts employed 3,840 staff in 191 Barratts and Priceless Shoes stores, plus 374 concessions of which 359 were in Arcadia Group stores.

Deloitte, appointed administrator earlier this month, confirmed that a sale of the concessions business had not been achieved, which means more than 1,600 full and part-time workers losing their jobs.

Deloitte said it was “in active discussions to rescue a significant part of the remaining business”.

Most of Barratts’ concessions are in Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia stores. It is expected to run them as its own shoe departments, rather than concessions. Arcadia said: “We will look favourably on them and try to employ as many of the existing staff [as possible].”

Last week it was announced Barratts would close 18 stores before Christmas, with the loss of 170 jobs, as Deloitte tried to find a buyer for “all or parts” of the chain.

This is the second time Barratts has called in the administrators in two years.The retailer has blamed weak trading for hampering its ability to pay December’s quarterly rent bill, which was due on Christmas day, and said unseasonably warm weather had “exacerbated” poor sales of its winter lines.

 

The news comes as Tobar, the Suffolk-based owner of toy chain Hawkin’s Bazaar and children’s accessories retailer Letterbox, announced it would go into administration, putting the jobs of 380

employees at its 65 stores at risk.

That followed this week’s announcement that D2 Jeans, the clothing chain originally set up by Scottish entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter, had entered administration, becoming the first significant UK post-Christmas casualty of the tough high street conditions.

Administrators BDO closed 19 of D2 Jeans’ 47 stores and made more than 200 employees redundant at the clothing retailer, which is based at Dundonald, Ayrshire. Insolvency experts are warning of a wave of administrations in the consumer sector, as shoppers cut their discretionary spending in shops, restaurants and hotels.

Just before Christmas La Senza, the struggling 146-store strong lingerie chain, said it planned to enter into administration.However, Blacks Leisure could receive a lifeline next week, with four bidders vying for the bulk of its business.

Bally chohan review: D2 Jeans goes into administration with fears other high street names could follow

Bally chohan sad Store chain D2 Jeans has collapsed into administration, making 200 staff redundant and jeopardising hundreds more jobs.

Administrators closed 19 stores and laid off the shop workers as the Dundonald, Ayrshire-based firm became the first notable post-Christmas retail casualty.

The remaining 28 stores are being run as a going concern while administrators seek a buyer for parts or all of the business in the hope of saving the jobs of hundreds more employees. Advertisement >>

BDO LLP administrator James Stephen said: “It is unfortunate that the economic climate and extremely difficult trading conditions have significantly affected the retail sector.”However, we are hopeful of securing a sale of all or part of the business and will continue to trade the business while this is explored.”

It is the second time in two years that the chain, originally set up by Scottish entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter, has gone into administration.

Last time, it was understood that around 500 jobs were saved as its management struck a deal to buy more than 40 of its stores out of administration. But around 32 stores – employing more than 300 staff – were not included in the rescue deal.A spokeswoman for BDO said she was unable to say which of the firm’s stores had been closed. According to the company’s website, which is no longer fully functioning, D2 operates stores across the UK. These include Sheffield, Redditch, Taunton, South Wirral, Bicester, Banbury, Rochdale, King’s Lynn, Gloucester, Barnstaple, Penzance, Truro, Newquay and Cambridge in England.

In Scotland it has stores in Paisley, East Kilbride, Falkirk, Livingston, Coatbridge, Hamilton, Dunfermline, Glenrothes, Irvine, Ayr and four in Glasgow.In Northern Ireland its outlets can be found in Enniskillen, Londonderry, Omagh, Newry, Lisburn, Portadown, Ballymena, Coleraine and Newtownabbey. There are two in Bangor and five in Belfast.

And in Wales, it has sites in Haverfordwest, Llanelli and Merthyr Tydfil.

There are fears that some big name retailers will collapse after Christmas when most will be hit with their quarterly rent bills.

High street lingerie chain La Senza, which has 146 stores and 18 concessions in the UK, announced last week that it plans to enter administration in coming days.

And Blacks Leisure, which owns 98 Blacks outlets and 208 Millets stores and employs 3,600 staff, faces speculation that it will go into administration in a move that would allow rivals to cherry-pick its best assets.

Gateway GT110 F2 review in Servers by bally chohan

 

Bally chohan sad :After a slow start earlier this year, we’ve seen a recent flurry of Xeon E3 entry-level servers from Dell, HP and Fujitsu – and now we can add Gateway to that list. Its compact GT110 F2 is aimed at small businesses looking for a low-cost first server, but also at larger companies wanting to deploy local IT services in their remote or branch offices.

Price-wise, there isn’t a huge difference between this server and Dell’s Power Edge T110 II. The configuration on review here costs £580 exc VAT; a quick trip to Dell’s configuration site gave us a price of £540 for the same specification.

The GT110 F2 is well built, with a solid metal chassis that’s slightly smaller than that of the Dell T110 II. There’s room at the front for a couple of 5.25in devices, and the price above includes one SATA DVD-RW drive. The second bay can be used for a backup device, and Gateway offers a range of internal SAS LTO Ultrium and USB DAT tape drives as options. Smaller businesses set on tape for backup would be better off opting for the HP Storage Works DAT 320, which has a decent capacity and better speeds than the DAT 160 and the elderly DAT 72. The LTO option is expensive and requires an additional SAS adapter card.

Gateway doesn’t produce its own motherboards, so for the GT110 F2 it’s settled on a Gigabyte GA-6UASL1 server-class board, which offers virtually the same feature set as that in the Dell T110 II. It can handle up to 32GB of unbuffered DDR3 memory; our system came with a pair of 2GB modules, leaving room for later upgrades.

It supports both Intel Xeon E3 and Core i3 processors, and Gateway currently offers eight of the former and three of the latter as options. Our review configuration came fitted with a 3.3GHz Xeon E3-1240, but you can save cash and choose a slower processor if the server will be used for only light duties. You can also save with the OS, since Gateway offers a reseller option kit (ROK) for Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation. This costs an additional £148 and supports up to 15 Windows user accounts.

Assistant administrator says goodbye to Aiken reviewed by bally chohan.

 

It is the people Todd Glover will miss the most.Glover, who has served as an Aiken County Assistant Administrator for a little more than three years, worked his last day Thursday. He’s not going far, though. His first day as North Augusta’s new city administrator is Jan. 3.

His goal has always been to serve as an administrator, but he said it was hard for him to leave his position.

“It is tough to leave this organization. There is a good staff here. I am excited, but nervous too, because it’s something new,” he said.

Glover’s hiring as an assistant administrator in October 2008, and Brian Sanders’ hiring also as assistant administrator two months later, was part of restructuring departmental oversight. Glover oversaw the public services side of County government, such as Emergency Services, Planning and Development and the Tax Collector and Tax Assessor’s offices.

Sanders oversees administrative services, such as Buildings and Grounds, Risk Management and Victim Services.

The restructuring, Glover said, helped take the burden of a large work load off Administrator Clay Killian’s shoulders.

Killian said last week, that throughout his career, Glover has been the best hire he’s made.

Glover was involved with several major developments in Aiken County, including making headway with the new office complex, the founding of Friends of the Aiken CountyAnimal Shelter, renewal of the Capital Projects Sales Tax and formation of the private provider network for Emergency Services.

He said he is most proud of the private provider network, which allows Aiken County to enter into agreements with private ambulance companies like Palmetto Ambulance to provide emergency services.

“I think the EMS system is much stronger,” he said.His work with the network was recognized last week during a special meeting of County Council where a resolution honoring Glover’s service to the County was adopted. The resolution commended and thanked him for his dedication to the “higher calling of public service.”

He also worked closely with members of the Animal Control Advisory Committee to found FOTAS. He believes it’s a prime example of why government should take the opportunity team up with non-profits.

“There are things we couldn’t have done on our own. They (FOTAS) saw an issue they were passionate about, and they didn’t just show up to a Council meeting and complain,” he said.

The new animal county shelter is one project he will miss working on; he would have liked to see it to fruition.

Glover is quick to say, however, that he was only just part of a team.

“It was not just one person. There was a whole group behind it. I am hopeful the person who comes behind me is a team player. My advice is: be about the team and not about self,” he said.

Glover went to USC Aiken and graduated in 1996 with a bachelor of political science. He then went on to Augusta State University, where he earned a master of public administration in 1998. He is also certified by the International City/County Managers Association as a credentialed manager.

“I like his style of meeting a problem head on,” said Councilwoman LaWana McKenzie last week after reading the resolution. “When there was a problem, he always came to us with a solution. I value that as an administrator. Todd truly cares. We were very fortunate and very blessed to have him.”

Bally chohan reviewed : Bing almost even with Yahoo in search rankings

It’s been two and a half years since Microsoft birthed Bing, and according to Comscore, Microsoft’s search engine is finally on the cusp of pulling even with Yahoo.

Microsoft launched its Bing search engine back in mid-2009 with a goal of taking on Google in the lucrative Internet search market—or, at least, the lucrative search advertising market. Although Google has yet to see much of a threat from Bing, Microsoft’s search engine is on the verge of marking a major milestone: according to Comscore, Bing is just about even with Yahoo in terms of its share of the U.S. search market. During November 2011, Comscore has Yahoo down 0.1 percent to a 15.1 percent share of U.S. searches, while Bing is up 0.2 percent to 15 percent. That essentially puts the two companies neck-and-neck.

So, while Bing may soon be able to sing “we’re number two!”—at least in the United States—it’s still far behind Google, which Comscore says accounted for 65.4 percent of the U.S. search market during the same period. However, it’s important to remember that for the last year and a half, Microsoft’s Bing has been performing the backend duties behind Yahoo search in the United States—so that means Microsoft is capturing and analyzing about 30 percent of U.S. search traffic, and using that information to profile and track users and deliver advertising.

Comscore’s figures cover some 17.8 billion “explicit core searches” during November 2011, which omits things like local directories, maps, and user-generated video sites like YouTube, as well as contextually-driven searches that don’t reflect “specific user intent” to use the search results.

On a side note, rival media metrics firms Comscore and Nielsen have announced a settlement of patent litigation between them: under the deal, Comscore will wind up owning four families of Nielsen patents asserted in the case, and grants Nielsen a worldwide license to four Comscore patents. Nielsen also walks away with about $19 million in restricted Comscore common stock—meaning the companies are a bit joined at the hip for a at least a year—and the companies agree not to sue each other over patents for three years.

Nielsen got its start providing ratings and audience measurement for television, and added online media ratings in recent years. The company sued Comscore, claiming it was violating five Nielsen patents related to measuring online content; Comscore countersued, claiming Nielsen violated some of its patents for measuring online content. The cross-licensing deal puts both companies in the clear, but while Nielsen walks away with cash (assuming Comscore stock holds value over the next year), Comscore seems to be walking away with most of the intellectual property—which, given the state of the U.S. patent system, may be more valuable to the company down the road.

Twitter simplifie son service reviewed by bally chohan

La nouvelle version de la plate-forme Internet est déjà disponible sur le mobile. Elle vise à faciliter la découverte de contenus pour séduire de nouveaux utilisateurs.

Des changements cosmétiques lourds en conséquences économiques. La semaine dernière, Twitter a dévoilé une refonte majeure de son service – sur le Web comme sur le mobile. Avec cette nouvelle version, son objectif est de simplifier l’expérience des internautes, afin de séduire de nouveaux utilisateurs. Les revenus futurs de la plate-forme, qui revendique 100 millions d’utilisateurs actifs, dépendent en effet de l’audience qu’elle parviendra à réunir.

 

Pour devenir plus abordable pour le grand public, Twitter a réorganisé son service autour de quatre rubriques. Elles offrent quatre portes d’entrée vers les pléthoriques contenus diffusés sur le site. Sur la page «Accueil», l’utilisateur retrouve ainsi les flux auxquels il est abonné. Sur l’onglet «Connecter» apparaissent les interactions avec les autres utilisateurs – s’ils se sont abonnés au compte de l’internaute, l’ont mentionné dans un message («tweet») ou ajouté en favori.

 

Sur la page «Découverte», ce sont des contenus connexes qui sont recommandés par Twitter. Une façon de proposer de nouveaux comptes à suivre aux utilisateurs. Enfin, en se rendant sur «Compte», l’internaute retrouve ses messages privés, listes personnelles et photos.

 

Ces changements ont déjà été introduits sur l’application mobile de Twitter et seront prochainement déployés sur le site Twitter.com. «La nouvelle version de Twitter repose sur deux choses. D’une part, elle offre une expérience plus simple, rapide et facile, unifiée sur le Web et le mobile. D’autre part, elle mise sur la découverte de contenus: nous allons chercher à mieux comprendre les utilisateurs et trouver des contenus intéressants à leur proposer», explique Ryan Sarver, directeur de la plate-forme de Twitter, au Figaro. Les internautes verront toujours les flux auxquels ils sont abonnés apparaître sur leur page principale, mais pourront aussi découvrir «du contenu périphérique» à travers l’onglet «Découvrir». Ce dernier est identifié par le symbole «#» («hashtag»), imposé par les internautes au fil des ans comme moyen de donner des labels thématiques à leurs messages.

Contrôle pour les marques

«Cela va nous aider à porter des contenus vers de nouvelles audiences», résume Ryan Sarver. Un vrai atout pour les annonceurs, qui peuvent actuellement acheter des «tweets sponsorisés» pour apparaître en tête de certaines recherches ou thématiques. Ces derniers n’ont pas été oubliés par Twitter. La nouvelle version du service leur offre des pages particulières, à personnaliser avec un bandeau affichant leur logo, leur slogan et des visuels. Avec un design qui s’approche désormais de la page Facebook, le nouveau profil Twitter pour les marques promet «plus de contrôle et de flexibilité» aux annonceurs. American Express, Coca-Cola, Disney, Heineken, McDonald’s et Nike font partie des premiers annonceurs à utiliser ce nouveau produit.

 

Cette annonce intervient peu après le lancement d’un bouton «S’abonner» par Facebook, destiné à des sites tiers. Twitter nie être sur la défensive. «Facebook est surtout en concurrence avec Google +. Leurs boutons “S’abonner” et “J’aime” ajoutent de la complexité. Nous veillons au contraire à ne pas créer des situations de double emploi avec nos fonctionnalités», assure Ryan Sarver.
