To use Bing for native search wouldn't be a bad thing in my experience, and it hedges Apple bets against Google. Plus, it opens up the iPhone potentially more Microsoft services. I'm curious what folks think of this move — will you use Bing on the iPhone for search? Whichever search engine you use on the iPhone, I know what the top result will be for "White House." Apparently that's not good enough — Washington, D.C. wants you to live the full White House experience, so they've debuted an app for that on the iPhone and iPod Touch. It's free so there's no sales tax or need to sign up for selective service. The software features news, photos, and video – even live video streaming of certain White House events. That's good to know because every time I see President Obama playing basketball, it's nothing but net. Something tells me I'm only seeing the good shots.

| Worley announces he's retiring from state Senate - Wave 3 Posted: 20 Jan 2010 05:13 PM PST FRANKFORT, KY (AP) - Democratic state Sen. Ed Worley of Richmond says he won't seek re-election this year, opting instead to retire from the legislature after some 12 years. Worley made the announcement on Wednesday, citing the stress of serving in the Senate while running a small business. He serves Madison, Lincoln and Rockcastle counties. The former Richmond city manager was elected to the state Senate in 1998, and was elected floor leader in 2003. Worley said at 53 he simply can't work the long hours required of a legislator and a construction contractor. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

| Survey shows growing number of smaller firms in New England plan to ... - San Francisco Examiner Posted: 20 Jan 2010 11:23 AM PST DEDHAM, MASS. — A new survey finds a growing number of small and medium-sized businesses in New England plan to hire new workers and offer pay raises this year. The survey released Wednesday by Dedham, Mass.-based Insight Performance, Inc., and the Smaller Business Association of New England polled companies with 50 or fewer employees and annual revenues of $20 million or less. It found that 42 percent of those companies planned new hires in 2010, compared with only 29 percent last year. Forty-three percent of the firms said they planned to increase the base pay of their workers compared with 29 percent in 2009. While executives of the New England businesses are more optimistic about the coming year, the survey also found they expect economic progress to be slow and incremental.

| Business briefs: Cadbury likes new offer for Kraft takeover - Everett Herald Posted: 20 Jan 2010 10:25 AM PST After months of fierce resistance, Cadbury's about-face to accept a sweetened $19.5 billion takeover from Kraft Foods Inc. — forming the world's biggest candy company — has alarmed British unions, lawmakers and chocolate lovers. With Cadbury shareholders expected to agree to the deal and a rival bid from The Hershey Co. looking less likely, opponents fear the U.S. multinational's impact on one of Britain's oldest and best-loved brands. The British maker of Dairy Milk chocolates and Dentyne gum capitulated to a raised bid of $13.78 per share. The deal is a 9 percent premium to the previous offer and 50 percent higher than Cadbury's market value before Kraft went public with its approach in September. Citigroup posts $7.8 billion loss Citigroup Inc. became the latest bank to take a cautious view of consumers' credit problems, reporting a $7.77 billion fourth-quarter loss blamed on failed loans and the costs of repaying $20 billion in government bailout money. Even with the loss, Citigroup, the hardest hit of the big U.S. banks during the credit crisis and recession, plans to give big bonuses this month to its top employees. The earnings report Tuesday, which met analysts' expectations, reflected Citigroup's struggles and changing status in the banking industry. The company was forced to set aside $8.18 billion to cover the loans consumers can't repay, joining other big lenders who continue to lose money on loans. But Citigroup, having been forced to shed its big investment banking and brokerage businesses during the banking crisis, lacked those buffers against losses that other major financial companies still have. Plant for big tires planned for Ephrata Plans have been announced for a tire factory at Ephrata. Officials with the Washington Tire company and Port of Ephrata announced construction will begin in April on a factory with 18 buildings. The factory will produce tires for mining equipment, trucks, buses and passenger cars. The Columbia Basin Herald newspaper reported the company is paying the port $979,000 for about 97 acres. The port is waiting for Federal Aviation Administration approval to transfer the land. A company official said the plant's management is likely to come from China. Google postpones China mobile launch Google on Tuesday postponed the launch of two mobile phones in China, adding to the potential commercial fallout of its dispute with Beijing over Internet censorship and e-mail hacking. The delay affects separate phones made by Motorola and Samsung. The handsets are powered by Android, a mobile operating software system developed by Google. Both phones were scheduled to debut this week. The change in plans is the latest aftershock from Google's threat to close its Internet search engine and pull out of China unless the government relents on its censorship rules.
