Danvers Co. has eye in sky

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 04 Desember 2012 | 18.38

After four years of operating in stealth mode, Danvers startup CyPhy Works emerged from the shadows this week, unveiling two unmanned aerial vehicles that soldiers and police can use for reconnaissance.

"Rather than go public with what our intentions were, we wanted to wait until we had the technology sorted out sufficiently," said Jason Walker, lead roboticist at the company, which was founded by iRobot co-founder Helen Grenier. "We wanted to make sure we had the technology working, rather than create hype around an idea."

Although unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, are not uncommon, given all the U.S. military drone operations overseas, CyPhy Works' differ in that they operate via a thin strand of two copper wires that allows them to run for a virtually unlimited duration while transmitting high-definition video.

The tether also eliminates common UAV pitfalls such as wireless jamming, detection and interception by the enemy, said Frank Tobe, editor of the Robot Report, which tracks the business of robotics.

CyPhy has developed a drone duo so far:

• The Extreme Access System for Entry, or EASE, is 12 inches tall by 16 inches wide, travels horizontally and can be used for building searches, bomb detection, hostage situations, rescue operations and bridge inspections.

• The Persistent Aerial Reconnaissance and Communications, or PARC, is 55 inches in diameter and can operate in bad weather and travel vertically up to 1,000 feet in the air — far higher than a camera on a tower at a combat outpost and much less obtrusive than the kind of blimps the Army also uses.

"There's a saying in the Army that when the blimps are in the air, peace breaks out," Walker said. "To the extent that we can be in the air more often and without the enemy seeing us, hopefully peace will break out a lot more often."

Although he declined to say how much either device costs, the PARC also would be a less costly alternative to using helicopters for long periods of time to cover events like last month's collision on the Green Line, he said.

Times reportedly seeks to cut 30 from newsroom

The news staff of The New York Times [NYT], owner of the Boston Globe, were asked yesterday to make additional cuts in their ranks through buyouts or face layoffs, news reports said.

"The economic environment has grown more difficult in the second half of the year, and I must reduce costs in the newsroom," the website Mashable Business quoted Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson from a memo she sent to the newsroom yesterday morning. "There is no getting around the hard news that the size of the newsroom staff must be reduced."

The memo indicated the Times is offering buyouts to newsroom employees, seeking to eliminate a total of 30 jobs to save money in the face of continuing declines in advertising or face layoffs.

"Although The New York Times Co.'s digital subscriptions business continues to grow at a healthy pace, it's not enough to offset year-over-year declines in advertising at its three big papers, The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The International Herald Tribune," wrote Mashable Business reporter Lauren Indvik.

Despite the New York Times Co.'s continued success with its online paywall, advertising revenue is still falling, Adweek writer Emma Bazilian reported.

The most recent round of newsroom buyouts came in the fall of 2011 when about 20 news staffers accepted severance packages. In 2008 and 2009, the Times eliminated about 100 news jobs in each year.

Wellesley College joins online education venture

Anyone with an Internet connection will be able to take free classes at Wellesley College next fall. The women's liberal arts college outside Boston will offer free online classes through the nonprofit venture edX.

Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology teamed up to fund and launch edX this year.

Massive online open courses, known as MOOCs, that are available now include computer science and chemistry courses.

Edx officials say Wellesley will diversify the venture's offerings by adding liberal arts courses.

Wellesley officials say the partnership is a way to educate students around the world.

Edx students can't currently earn college credits or degrees by participating.

More than 300,000 students signed up for fall courses, with students coming from nearly 200 countries.

Saudi group sells majority stake in NY's Plaza

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The investment firm headed by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal says it has sold a majority stake in The Plaza Hotel in New York to a major Indian real estate conglomerate in a $575 million deal.

Kingdom Holding Co. says it will retain 25 percent equity ownership in the landmark hotel, now controlled by a group led by Sahara India Pariwar. A statement Tuesday said Kingdom Holding made $32.9 million profit on the deal.

The 115-year-old Plaza has 282 hotel rooms as well as condominium units and retail space.

Kingdom Holding is a major shareholder in Citigroup and holds stakes in other companies, including News Corp. [NWS], Apple Inc. and Twitter.

Aflac chief quacks about quick response to quake

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 30 November 2012 | 18.38

Aflac chief Daniel Amos won't wait very long to break the bad news.

"Those who work closely with me know that I have a saying that I live by and that is that 'Bad news does not improve with age.' By this I mean that even if it isn't good ... don't wait to deliver it," Amos said yesterday during a Boston College Chief Executives' Club of Boston luncheon.

To a roomful of rapt executives, Amos recounted two crises that hit the insurer in rapid succession.

The first was the March 2011 earthquake-tsunami disaster in Japan, where Aflac gets more than three-quarters of its revenue. The company quickly announced that all of its employees in the country — nearly 5,000 — were safe, and Amos hopped on a plane to Japan despite warnings about nuclear radiation.

"Lack of information does not mean that you can stand back and let uncertainty fester. We take our responsibility to communicate with our shareholders seriously," he said. "It's the right thing to do and over time it establishes credibility and consistency with investors, employees, customers and sales agents."

As the disaster unfolded, comedian Gilbert Gottfried — the voice of Aflac's iconic duck brand — tweeted "hurtful and insulting" jokes about Japan, Amos said. Gottfried was fired 30 minutes after Amos first learned of the Twitter outburst.

Aflac was forced to pull all commercials featuring Gottfried and rely solely on a silent movie-style spot until the duck's voice was revived through a nationwide audition that drew 11,200 online applicants — and positive publicity.

"The events we faced proved to me that when you're decisive, you're transparent and ultimately when you're trying to do the right thing, it will reflect in your company and in your image," Amos said.
