Ms. Marion reported that Mr. Hawkins and experienced Library Consultants June Garcia and David Dubberly were actively pursuing applications from potential candidates, noting that 200 contacts had been made. The Library's Director of Human Resources noted that the job announcement had been widely posted in professional journals and online sites. Ms. Marian additionally reported that Mr. Hawkins found progress on the candidates search going more slowly than anticipated and noted that he would make a report to the Commission at the October 21st meeting. Ms. Marion concluded by discussing a presentation on the search made to the Council for Neighborhood Libraries, (CNL). Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #4 CITY LIBRARIAN SEARCH PROGRESS REPORT An anonymous member of the public commented that given slow progress perhaps the Commission should reconsider its strategy, noting that interest might be stimulated by open discussion of the issues including an underlying reason why the search might be difficult. Mr. Peter Warfield requested more information about the search. Mr. Warfield commented that as this was one of the Commission's most import tasks the Commission should take an active role. Commission discussion of AGENDA ITEM #4 CITY LIBRARIAN SEARCH PROGRESS REPORT Vice President Steiman noted that there had been several public discussions about the many obvious reasons why our search might be proceeding slowly noting: that several important libraries were searching for leaders; that questions about the adequacy of the salary remained; and that San Francisco was well known to be very expensive place to live. Vice President Steiman noted that Mr. Hawkins was a respected experienced headhunter and that the search was being conducted in a careful thorough manner just as its critics contended they wanted. Answering questions by Commissioner Chin, Ms. Marion discussed outreach work being done by mr. Hawkins' Library Consultant June Garcia to persuade potential applicants to apply. Responding to questions by Commissioner Bautista, Ms. Marion reported that the Department of Human Resources proposed to review the position's salary range when the pool of candidates and their requirements became better known. The Acting City Librarian rejoined the meeting at 4:29pm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #7 CITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Acting City Librarian reported on the progress of the 3rd round of mandated Prop E (Library Preservation Fund 1994) Hearings and outlined the next steps in the process ar the remaining four branch meetings were completed. Mr. Underwood then provided an overview of plans to install energy generating solar panels on the roofs of the Chinatown and Presidio Branch Libraries at no cost to the Library. The Acting City Librarian next introduced Toni Bernardi, Chief of Children and Youth Services for a report on Summer Reading 2004. Ms Bernardi presented a detailed report on the extensive arrange of programs for children and teens offered at the Main Library and all branches during Summer 2004. Ms. Bernardi in particular lauded the principle support provided by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and other sponsors of this year's summer reading programs. Mr. Underwood concluded his report with an update on current and upcoming Programs and exhibitions. Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #4 CITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT An anonymous member of the public reflected on their attendance at several Prop. E Hearings. This person also discussed and asked questions about the solar installation and its possible impacts on the Chinatown Library's roof garden. Mr. Peter Warfield commented on: his concerns with the lack of attendance at the Prop. E Hearings; about the Library's publicity for the hearings; and concerning what he believed those attending the meetings had requested. Ms. Marcia Popper, Council for Neighborhood Libraries, and a Presidio Branch user was excited by the plans for solar installations noting that it was not just a wise environmental and economic decision but that it advanced the Library's educational outreach on preserving limited resources. Commission discussion of AGENDA ITEM #7 CITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT Commissioners Bautista lauded the solar projects recalling that several local schools had also installed solar panels that could potentially lead to cost-savings on energy by lower those costs in the long-term. Commissioner coulter requested that the Library track and report benefits achieved by putting in the solar panels. Commissioner Coulter noted the low attendance at the Prop. E meetings, and discussed some of the changes that attendees requested. Commissioner Coulter suggested that Library Administration consider ways that more costly hours could be made available on weekends and in the evening by reviewing and suggesting changes in work rules. Commissioner Chin commended Toni Bernardi and congratulated her hard working and dedicated staff of children's and teen librarians for producing another Summer Reading Program in 2004. Commissioner Chin then noted that everyone preferred that more users participate in the Prop. E Hearings but perhaps their lack of attendance reflected a degree of satisfaction with the current situation. She felt that library users were realistic about costs and the need to prioritize providing services. Vice President Steiman noted that attendance that this round was not much different that during the previous series of hearings. The Commission Vice President Steiman pointed out that the significant improvements in collections and hours made possible by Prop. E had made such a difference in the kinds and availability of library services that users understood that the Library was doing the best that it could given available resources. Commissioner Bautista lauded Toni Bernardi and her staff calling them "heroes" of the library system. Commissioner Bautista noted that our teen users needed and deserved additional space and that consideration should be given to reallocations to better serve them. In response to Commissioner Bautista's comments, the Acting City Librarian suggested that a presentation on Teen Library users could be brought to the Commission. Ms. Bernardi outlined the strong beginnings and future growth proposed for her cadre of teen librarians as resources became available. She noted that already existing FTEs were being reallocated to provide additional dedicated teen librarians. Vice President Steiman thanked Ms. Bernardi and her dedicated staff on behalf of the Commission. In response to Commissioners questions, Mr. Underwood and Deputy City Attorney Catharine Barnes discussed various aspects and implications of solar installations on library facilities. The Acting City Librarian report there would be no impact on the Chinatown Library's roof garden. Vice President Steiman noted that the Chinatown roof garden was well used for programming. The Acting City Librarian informed the Commissioners that staffing cost related issues would be among the factors addressed in the various scenarios to be outlined in the staff's Prop. E Hours of Public Service report to the Commission. Commissioner Coulter suggested that it might be necessary to change staff work rules over time in order to be able to provide the services the users wanted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #8 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY REPORT Ms. Deborah Doyle, Acting Executive Director for the Friends reported that the big book sale had raised $225,000 and called attention to the positive response to the silent auction of artworks created for the Library's "Reversing Vandalism" Exhibit. Ms. Doyle lauded the library staff, particularly the security staff, for their cooperative support for this year's book sale. Ms. Doyle called attention to a special observance of "Banned Books Week" during the book sale, noting the very popular author readings from banned books. The Acting Executive Director of the Friends of the Library then updated the Commissioners on the work of the many committees working to support the Friends' Campaign for Neighborhood Libraries, citing in particular production of popular $10 fundraising calendars. Ms. Doyle concluded her report be discussing the Friends of the Library's ongoing outreach efforts in support of the Library's Prop. 14 (State Library Bond) applications. Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #8 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY REPORT (None offered) Commission discussion of AGENDA ITEM #8 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY REPORT Vice President Steiman thanked Ms. Doyle for her efforts on behalf of the Library. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #9 LABOR UNION REPORT Ms. Melissa Riley, Librarians Guild, suggested various ways that attendance might be increased at the Prop. E Hearings and noted in her experience, despite what was said in surveys, demand for evening hours fell significantly after 6pm. Ms. Riley lauded the installation of solar panels and expressed the hope that they could be included on many branch Library improvement program branch renovations. Ms. Riley passed along a copy of an article "Seven Deadly Sins of Library Technology" to the Commissioners. Ms. Riley saluted Rich Walsh and George Nichols as outstanding public servants whose talents will be missed. She expressed appreciation that they would be coming back to offer some limited help after their retirement. Ms. Andrea Grimes, Librarians Guild, honored the contributions of Rich Walsh and George Nichols lauding their cooperative work with the Union and strong record of support for the work of frontline library staff. Ms. Grimes noted that such exemplary civil servants were irreplaceable assets that would be missed.

Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #10 NEW BUSINESS An anonymous member of the public expressed alarm at some of the points raised in discussion concerning landscaping maintenance expressing preference for more greenery rather than shrub removal. This person also discussed their views on the issue of RFID urging a full public discussion. Mr. Peter Warfield found all of the proposed items good and asked for a discussion about donations of books as well. Mr. Warfield called for a public discussion of RFID at the Commission suggesting that the devil would be in the details and that only extensive public review would satisfy public concerns. Ms. Melissa Riley, Librarian's Guild, discussed her experience as a branch library staff member in dealing with landscaping issues and working with Recreation and Park Department staff. Commissioner Strobin left the meeting at 5:39pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #11 ADJOURNMENT MOTION: by Commissioner Steiman, 2nd Commissioner Chin that the meeting be adjourned In Memoriam of the Late Val Tietz, a longtime friend, patron, landlord, and staunch supporter of the Glen Park Branch Library.

|Amazon to Launch Library Lending for Kindle Books
Whispersyncing of notes, highlights and last page read to work for Kindle library books
SEATTLE, Apr 20, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- (NASDAQ: AMZN)-- Amazon today announced Kindle Library Lending, a new feature launching later this year that will allow Kindle customers to borrow Kindle books from over 11,000 libraries in the United States. Kindle Library Lending will be available for all generations of Kindle devices and free Kindle reading apps.
"We're excited that millions of Kindle customers will be able to borrow Kindle books from their local libraries," said Jay Marine, Director, Amazon Kindle. "Customers tell us they love Kindle for its Pearl e-ink display that is easy to read even in bright sunlight, up to a month of battery life, and Whispersync technology that synchronizes notes, highlights and last page read between their Kindle and free Kindle apps."
Customers will be able to check out a Kindle book from their local library and start reading on any Kindle device or free Kindle app for Android, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, PC, Mac, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone. If a Kindle book is checked out again or that book is purchased from Amazon, all of a customer's annotations and bookmarks will be preserved.
"We're doing a little something extra here," Marine continued. "Normally, making margin notes in library books is a big no-no. But we're extending our Whispersync technology so that you can highlight and add margin notes to Kindle books you check out from your local library. Your notes will not show up when the next patron checks out the book. But if you check out the book again, or subsequently buy it, your notes will be there just as you left them, perfectly Whispersynced."
With Kindle Library Lending, customers can take advantage of all of the unique features of Kindle and Kindle books, including:
Amazon is working with OverDrive, the leading provider of digital content solutions for over 11,000 public and educational libraries in the United States, to bring a seamless library borrowing experience to Kindle customers. "We are excited to be working with Amazon to offer Kindle Library Lending to the millions of customers who read on Kindle and Kindle apps," said Steve Potash, CEO, OverDrive. "We hear librarians and patrons rave about Kindle, so we are thrilled that we can be part of bringing library books to the unparalleled experience of reading on Kindle."
Kindle Library Lending will be available later this year for Kindle and free Kindle app users. To learn more about Kindle go to www.amazon.com/kindle.

SALISBURY, Md. – Senior superback Joe Benedetti rushed for 158 yards and one touchdown and quarterback classmate Dan Griffin ran for 72 and two scores while throwing for 91 yards and another touchdown as the No. 9 Salisbury University football team topped Hartwick College, 37-7, in front of a Homecoming crowd of 2,125 Saturday.
Salisbury (5-1, 3-0 Empire 8) ran 78 offensive plays, totaling 390 yards and held the ball for 41:18. The Sea Gulls' defense forced five turnovers, including four fumble recoveries and did not allow Hartwick (3-3, 0-3) a first down until early in the third quarter.
Griffin opened the scoring with a 9-yard touchdown run that completed a 12-play, 82-yard drive that took 7:13 off the clock.
Salisbury added to the lead when sophomore Eric Hart kicked the Sea Gulls' first field goal of the season, a 21-yard attempt, with 7:39 left in the first half. Billy Nichols forced a fumble by Hartwick's Kurtis Ahart that was recovered by Joey Buckley on the Hawks 6-yard line. Salisbury couldn't punch it in, but converted the kick.
After a three-and-out gave the ball back to Salisbury with six minutes remaining in the half, Griffin found junior Michael Copenhaver for a 35-yard scoring strike to increase the SU advantage to 17-0 with 4:47 to play.
Senior corner back Paul Moore increased the lead when he jarred the ball loose from receiver Chris Olonski, picked it up and returned it 12 yards for his second defensive touchdown in as many weeks and a 24-0 halftime edge for Salisbury.
Hartwick's Joseph Rosiecki charged down the left sideline for 39 yards and a first down on the second play of the second half, but the Hawks' drive stalled on the Salisbury 33 when quarterback Mike Mathews fumbled and Michael Landry recovered.
Griffin added a 4-yard touchdown run with 1:21 left in the third, capping a 12-play, 55-yard drive before Rosiecki scored a 7-yard touchdown to break up the Salisbury shutout bid a minute into the fourth quarter.
Benedetti added a 4-yard touchdown of his own 3:36 later for the final margin.
Issa Diarra sealed the game with an interception of Corbett in the final moments.
Rosiecki ran 13 times for 73 yards and the touchdown while quarterback Keegan Corbett was 7-for-12 for 52 yards and an interception.
Nichols led the Salisbury defense with six tackles, 1.5 for loss and a forced fumble. Buckley tallied one sack, one tackle for loss and a fumble recovery. Andre Carter posted a one tackle and five pass breakups.
Reining Empire 8 Special Teams Player of the Week, sophomore Kyle Hamby, again had strong day punting. Hamby kicked five times for a 46.8-yard average and placed three inside the Hartwick 20. Hamby boomed one 68 yards, one yard shy of the program record he tied on Nov. 5, 2011 against St. John Fisher.
Salisbury hosts Alfred University next Saturday at Sea Gull Stadium at noon. The Saxons knocked off No. 17 Fisher, 26-13, Saturday, to improve to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the league.

MONTERREY, Mexico - At least eight bodies were pulled from a well in northern Mexico on Sunday near the site where 20 people went missing late last week, including members of a Colombian-style band, according to a state forensic official.
The Nuevo Leon State Investigative Agency was still working late into the night at the well in a vacant lot in the town of Mina near the northern city of Monterrey, and the body count could rise, said the official.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he w+as not authorized to discuss the case.
The official could not confirm whether the bodies belonged to 16 members of Kombo Kolombia and their crew, who were reported missing early Friday after playing a private show in a bar late Thursday in the next town, Hidalgo.
Authorities had been searching for two days when they came upon the well Sunday afternoon.
People living near the bar in Hidalgo municipality north of Monterrey reported hearing gunshots about 4 a.m. Friday, following by the sound of vehicles speeding away, said a source with the state agency. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted by the news media.
The officials added that gunfire is common in the area, and said investigators found spent bullets nearby.
Relatives filed an official report about their missing loved ones on Friday, after they lost cellular telephone contact with them following the Thursday night performance. When family members went to the bar to investigate, they found the band members' vehicles still parked outside.
For three years, Kombo Kolombia has played a Colombian style of music known as vallenato, which is popular in Nuevo Leon state. Most of the group's musicians were from the area, and have held large concerts in addition to bar performances.
Nuevo Leon state officials said one of those missing is a Colombian citizen with Mexican residency.
Members of other musical bands, usually groups that performed "narcocorridos" celebrating the exploits of drug traffickers, have been killed in Mexico in recent years. But Kombo Kolombia did not play that type of music and its lyrics did not deal with violence or drug trafficking.

Let's Go on a Savory Journey!
Now, this is gonna sound a little cray. But I prefer savory treats over sweet ones 99 percent of the time, especially in the early morning. My sugar cravings don't come until 2 p.m.-ish. Unfortunately, most all bars are sweet, whether they're naturally fruit-sweetened or sweetened with evaporated cane juice. Or at least that's what I thought ... until I met Journey Bars!
Journey emailed me asking if I'd like to sample two of the vegan flavors in their line of savory bars. When I read "Pizza Marinara" and "Rosemary," I shot back an emphatic "Hell yes!" All of the Journey whole grain travel bars are savory, soy-free, gmo-free, fiber-filled, and free of artificial preservatives. And while not all are vegan, the above-mentioned flavors are (and they're clearly marked "vegan" on the front of the package). It also appears that the Hickory BBQ flavor is vegan too, but I didn't get a sample of that one:
I couldn't wait to tear into these, but I made myself wait until a planned run. That meant holding on to these babies until I returned from Atlanta VegFest. That was tough. But I succeeded. And these were well worth the wait.
The Pizza Marinara Bar is a soft bar, reminiscent of a tender focaccia. It's seasoned with tomato paste, onion and garlic powder, and red pepper. And the base is made from organic whole grains, such as buckwheat, brown flax seed, amaranth, and millet. It was like eating pizza for breakfast, which is truly the best way to start the day (yea, I should have been a Ninja Turtle):
The Rosemary Bar is a crunchy bar, quite different in texture than the pizza bar. It's more like a thick, herbed cracker. It too has onion and garlic powder, as well as rosemary of course. It has the same whole grain base and just a hint of apple for a touch of sweeteness. But not too much sweetness!
I loved that the these bars contain amaranth. I've found that amaranth-based bars are always my favorite. There's something about that crunchy texture that I really adore.
How would Journey bars stack up to others I've tried (and I've tried just about every bar out there)? BEST THING EVER! Maybe I'm biased because I love savory stuff, but I'd choose these over sweet, fruity bars all day long. I haven't seen these for sale around here, but there's a store finder on their website. And you can order samplers or 12-bar packs there too.

|Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery.

Schulz (Schultz, Schult) family
Schulz, a Mennonite family name, has been located in records found in Danzig in 1674, and later in Tiegenhagen, Ladekopp, Königsberg and Montau-Gruppe. From these towns the name was transplanted to Mennonite settlements in Russia and North America. The name is likely derived from the office of Schulze, which means mayor. Some prominent members of the Schultz family in the Mennonite church have been: David Schulz of Altona, MB, elder of the Bergthal church in Manitoba; J. J. Schulz, manager of the Concordia Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba; Peter Schulz, a minister in Steinbach, Manitoba; Peter Schulz, Evangelical Mennonite Brethren (EMB) elder in Langham, Saskatchewan; Jacob S. Schultz, a dean at Bluffton College; George P. Schultz (1880-1957), a leader in the EMB Church and a pastor in Chicago; and his brother, David P. Schultz, a pastor in Marion, South Dakota. Arnold C. Schultz, a son of George P., was a professor of Old Testament at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago and at Bluffton College.

Oil lubrication methods
In general, high-speed operation increases frictional heat, elevates operating temperatures and accelerates ageing of the oil. To reduce operating temperatures and avoid frequent oil changes, the circulating oil lubrication method is generally preferred (fig 1). Circulation is usually controlled by a pump. After the oil has passed through the bearing, it generally settles in a tank where it is filtered and cooled before being returned to the bearing. Proper filtering decreases the contamination level and extends bearing service life. In bigger systems with several different bearing sizes, the main volume flow from the pump can be split into several smaller flows. The flow rate in each sub-circuit in the system can be checked by SKF flow monitoring devices.
Guideline values for oil flow rates are listed in table 1. For a more accurate analysis, contact the SKF application engineering service.
For information about the SKF CircOil system and SKF flow monitoring devices, refer to Lubrication solutions.
Oil-air lubrication systems are appropriate for high-precision applications with very high operating speeds and requisite low operating temperatures. For information about the SKF Oil+Air lubrication systems, refer to Lubrication solutions.
The oil-air method (fig. 3) also called the oil-spot method, uses compressed air to transport small, accurately metered quantities of oil as small droplets along the inside of feed lines to an injector nozzle, where it is delivered to the bearing (fig. 4). This minimum quantity lubrication method enables bearings to operate at very high speeds with relatively low operating temperature. The compressed air serves to cool the bearing and also produces an excess pressure in the bearing housing to prevent contaminants from entering. Because the air is only used to transport the oil and is not mixed with it, the oil is retained within the housing. Oil-air systems are considered to be environmentally safe, provided that any residual used oil is disposed of correctly.
For bearings used in sets, each bearing should be supplied by a separate injector. Most designs include special spacers that incorporate the oil nozzles.
Guideline values for the oil quantity to be supplied to an angular contact ball bearing for high-speed operation can be obtained from
Q = 1,3 dm
|oil flow rate [mm3/h]
|bearing width [mm]
|bearing bore diameter [mm]
|bearing mean diameter [mm]
= 0,5 (d + D)
= 1 to 2 for cylindrical roller bearings
= 2 to 5 for double direction angular contact thrust ball bearings
Individual testing is, however, always recommended in order to optimize the conditions.
Different bearing designs show varying sensitivity to oil quantity changes. For example, roller bearings are very sensitive, whereas for ball bearings, the quantity can be changed substantially without any major rise in bearing temperature.
A factor influencing temperature rise and reliability of oil-air lubrication is the lubrication interval, i.e. the time in between two measures from the oil-air lubricator. Generally, the lubrication interval is determined by the oil flow rate generated by each injector and the oil quantity supplied per hour. The interval can vary from one minute to one hour, with the most common interval being 15 to 20 minutes.
Feed lines from the lubricator are 1 to 5 m in length, depending on the lubrication interval. A filter that prevents particles > 5 μm from reaching the bearings should be incorporated. The air pressure should be 0,2 to 0,3 MPa, but should be increased for longer runs to compensate for the pressure drop along the pipe's length.
To maintain the lowest possible operating temperature, ducts must be able to drain any excess oil away from the bearing. With horizontal shafts it is relatively easy to arrange drainage ducts on each side of the bearings. For vertical shafts the oil passing the upper bearing(s) should be prevented from reaching the lower bearings, which would otherwise receive too much lubricant. Drainage, together with a sealing device, should be incorporated beneath each bearing. An effective seal should also be located at the spindle nose to prevent lubricant from reaching the work piece.
The oil nozzles should be positioned so that oil can be introduced into the contact area between the rolling elements and raceways without interference by the cage. For the diameter (measured on the bearing) where oil injection should take place, refer to the product tables. For bearings equipped with alternative cages that are not listed, contact the SKF application engineering service.
The attainable speeds listed in the product tables for oil lubrication refer specifically to oil-air lubrication.
- Bearings with an annular groove and O-rings in the outer ring (designation suffix L or L1) prevent lubricant leakage between the bearing and its seat in the housing. For bearings without these features (designation suffix H or H1), SKF recommends machining the housing bore and incorporating O-rings into the bearing arrangement design.
- Bearings with lubrication holes on the thick side of the bearing shoulder (designation suffix H1 or L1) enable the lubricant to be supplied very close to the ball/raceway contact area. The locations of these lubrication holes enable the bearings to achieve maximum speeds.
The use of a continuous air flow in an oil-air lubrication system includes some system related disadvantages like the high cost of compressed air, high noise levels and a complex dosing and control process. The SKF Microdosage system (fig. 6) virtually eliminates these disadvantages and offers better control and a lower cost of ownership.
Designed for ultra high speed spindles where the speed factor A ≥ 2 000 000 mm/min, this system delivers precisely metered amounts of oil to each bearing based on the machine tool's CAM program. The SKF Microdosage system also automatically re-calibrates when conditions like temperature or oil viscosity change. With this technology, oil consumption can typically be reduced to 0,5 to 5 mm3/min with a minimal amount of compressed air.
For information about the SKF Microdosage system, refer to Lubrication solutions.

BlackBerry Ltd. is more open to a breakup of the company amid concerns that Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. may be unable to line up funding or partners for a US$4.7 billion buyout, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
[np_storybar title="Apple looks to poach BlackBerry workers in Waterloo" link="https://business.financialpost.com/2013/10/10/apple-looks-to-poach-blackberry-workers-in-waterloo/?__lsa=5520-481b"%5DApple has all but destroyed BlackBerry's business model and now it's after the Canadian company's decimated workforce. Read more
Companies such as SAP AG, Cisco Systems Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., which were approached last week by BlackBerry advisors, have indicated they're only interested in parts of the company, people familiar with the discussions said. A breakup would let parties bid for BlackBerry's most valuable pieces, such as its patents or enterprise network, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.
"If you break up the company, you're going to get more than the company is worth right now," said Sachin Shah, a strategist in special situations and merger arbitrage at New York-based Albert Fried & Co. Whether Fairfax's bid is successful or not, "breaking it up sounds more appetizing for all involved," he said.
BlackBerry has been soliciting rival bids after agreeing last month to a tentative US$4.7 billion offer from Fairfax, its largest shareholder. Under that pact, BlackBerry has until Nov. 4 to consider other proposals while Fairfax and a group of investors conduct due diligence and line up financing. Investors have grown increasingly concerned the current deal will fall apart, with the stock trading 10% below Fairfax's $9-a-share offer.
Losing Ground
The smartphone maker was pushed to consider selling itself after years of losing market share to Apple Inc.'s iPhone and devices powered by Google Inc.'s Android. Even as BlackBerry's smartphones lose favor with consumers, its corporate services and patents could prove more enticing. The patents alone are worth as much as $3 billion, according to analyst estimates.
For now, the only public offer for BlackBerry is from Fairfax. The investment firm's chief executive officer, Prem Watsa, stepped down from BlackBerry's board in August in order to put together his bid. Watsa hasn't named any of the other members in his buyout consortium, and while the group is seeking funding from Bank of America Corp. and BMO Capital Markets, no financing deal has been announced.
Alberta Investment Management Corp. and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, two of Canada's largest pension funds, have both said they would consider joining a bid for BlackBerry, though neither has committed to the idea.
SAP, Cisco
Seeking to spark a bidding war for the smartphone maker, BlackBerry's advisors have been reaching out to its technology partners to gauge interest, the people said. SAP, Cisco and Samsung aren't interested in making an offer for the whole company, though they may consider individual parts, they said.
SAP is evaluating whether parts of BlackBerry, including its enterprise business, may be attractive, one of the people said. The enterprise division securely manages fleets of smartphones, including BlackBerrys, for business customers.
Intel Corp. doesn't want to bid for all or part of the company, though it wouldn't rule out evaluating the company's patents, said a person familiar with the chipmaker's thinking.
Jim Dever, a spokesman for Walldorf, Germany-based SAP, declined to comment, as did Cisco's John Earnhardt and Intel's Robert Manetta. Chenny Kim, a spokeswoman for Samsung, said her company has ruled out a bid for all of BlackBerry.
BlackBerry's complete portfolio of smartphone and wireless network patents is worth about US$1.6 billion, according to Steven Li, an analyst at Raymond James Financial in Toronto. Christopher Marlett, CEO of MDB Capital Group, a patent-focused investment bank, estimates the portfolio could fetch $2 billion to US$3 billion.
Enterprise Business
The enterprise network, meanwhile, could be worth US$550 million to US$1.1 billion, said Li, who rates BlackBerry the equivalent of a hold. Its value may depend in part on how quickly BlackBerry's subscriber base declines. The company's customer base slipped to 72 million in June from 76 million in March. Since then, BlackBerry has stopped disclosing a number.
The phones themselves are unprofitable and a buyer may just shut down that business, so that operation isn't considered an asset, Li said.
BlackBerry's biggest asset may be its cash, which it had US$2.6 billion of at the end of August.
Reuters reported last week that a number of technology companies, including Cisco, Google, Intel and SAP, were in talks with Waterloo, Ontario-based BlackBerry about a sale.
Shares Gain
Speculation that a rival bid may emerge has helped drive up the stock more than 5% in the past three days. Still, it remains down 32% this year and have fallen about 95% from its 2008 peak. The shares closed at $8.11 Wednesday in New York. The stock slipped 1.5% to US$7.99 on the Nasdaq Thursday morning.
BlackBerry's latest outreach follows earlier attempts to find buyers. Before announcing in August that it was formally considering takeover bids, the company's bankers spent almost a year canvassing potential acquirers, people with knowledge of the matter said at the time. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and RBC Capital Markets quietly contacted would-be bidders and found little interest in the whole company, especially among private-equity firms, the people said.
Paul Rivett, president of Toronto-based Fairfax, declined to comment on the sale process Wednesday.
Lisette Kwong, a spokeswoman at BlackBerry, said the company's board is working with independent financial and legal advisors to conduct "a robust and thorough review" of its strategic options. "We do not intend to disclose further developments with respect to the process until we approve a specific transaction or otherwise conclude the review of strategic alternatives," she said.
Leo de Bever, the CEO of Alberta Investment, said this week that the bidding process has been unusual and that BlackBerry will probably be broken up.
"It's the most bizarre sales process I've seen in a long time," he said in an interview. "We're looking at it, but nobody's come to us with a proposal that makes any sense."

NYU had just one player score in double figures, senior guard Cara Bonito (Teaneck, N.J./Acad. of the Holy Angels), who scored 16, eight in each half. Bonito hit 6-of-14 overall, 3-of-10 from beyond the arc and 1-of-2 from the line. She also led all players with four assists. Classmate Shelby Coon (Briarcliff, N.Y./Briarcliff) just missed a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds, tying Higginbottom for game-high honors. The Violets won the turnover battle, 16-7, turning those miscues into a 19-7 scoring advantage.
An entertaining first half of the contest featured two ties and seven lead changes. NYU's largest lead was four at 12-8 after a Bonito 3-pointer at the 11:34 mark. After Makenzie Hirz (Santa Ana, Calif./Foothill) gave the Violets a 16-15 edge with 8:11 remaining before the break, Higginbottom scored eight of the game's next 10 points, capping the run with a jumper from just above the free-throw line that made the score 23-18 in favor of the Judges. NYU was able to knot the game at 25-25 with a 7-2 string, but sophomore Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomperaug) hit a late bucket with four seconds left to give Brandeis a two-point lead at the break. Higginbottom led all players with 10 points and five rebounds at halftime, while Kendrew added eight. Bonito had eight of her points in the first half for NYU.
Brandeis was still up one, 33-32, five minutes into the second half before Hassan and Cincotta hit from downtown on back-to-back possessions, capping an 8-2 run that made it 41-34. NYU bounced back with eight of the next 10 points, getting back to within one at 9:36 on a pair of free throws. With her team up one, 55-54, with just under seven minutes on the clock, Kendrew took over. She hit a 3-pointer at the 6:00 mark, scoring nine straight points for the Judges over a span of 1:45, making it a 54-46 game from the line, and the Judges never looked back. Kendrew finished with 13 second-half points.

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Book: Rescuing Wayward Children
by Larry Barkdull
Recommended by: Angela
This book is written from an LDS perspective and addresses the concerns of parents whose children have rebelled and gone against the values they have taught them. Barkdull's message is one of hope as he discusses the strength of God's love for His children and of the Savior's redeeming power. Barkdull says that as parents commit themselves more fully to God, they will have greater power to assist God in His work of redemption, especially in their own families. I would recommend this book to anyone experiencing or interested in these types of issues.

EPA's Bathroom "Mini-Makeovers" Save Water, Energy, and Money
In honor of National Kitchen and Bath Month this October, WaterSense partners across the country are promoting water-saving bathroom "mini-makeovers." Giving a home's main bathroom a mini-makeover by installing a WaterSense labeled toilet, faucet, and showerhead can save a household more than $80 annually and 7,000 gallons of water per year—enough water to wash six months' worth of laundry. In addition to saving water, a mini-makeover saves energy by reducing the amount of water that needs to be heated—enough to power a refrigerator for two months. The combined utility savings can pay for the new fixtures in as little as two years. Bathrooms are the biggest water users in homes, accounting for more than half of all indoor water use. With water utility costs on the rise—now averaging more than $700 per household per year across the United States—Americans can save by giving their bathrooms a mini-makeover with a WaterSense labeled toilet, faucet, and showerhead.
For more information, please visit http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pubs/bathroom.html

Send a link to a friend
05, 2014]
At the end of this month,
there will be two separate benefits to assist Lyndie Jones and her family.
On March 29, there
will be a dinner benefit at the Lincoln Knights of Columbus Hall.
Doors will open at 4 p.m. and dinner will be served at 5. There will
be a silent auction from 4:30 to 7, and live music will begin at 8.
Lyndie Jones is the daughter of
Katie Alsup and Justin Jones of Mount Pulaski. She was born June 20,
2013 — 17 weeks premature. She
weighed 1 pound, 5 ounces at birth and has been in the St. John's
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit since birth. To date she has had three
surgeries, including heart surgery, a tracheotomy and a feeding tube
installation. When Lyndie does get to come home, she will require
in-home nursing care.
The Run for Annabelle was first
held to assist the family of Annabelle Phillips. Annabelle was born
in November of 2012 and soon after diagnosed with a malignant brain
tumor. For Annabelle, there was no solution to her sickness and she
died in January of 2013. The run was to assist her parents, Darin
and Amy Phillips, with the expenses they incurred.
[to top of second
This year the Phillips couple asked
that the Run for Annabelle continue as a means of paying forward the
generosity that was shown them by the community. They are hopeful
that the community will come out and support the family of Lyndie in
the same loving way they did a year ago in memory of Annabelle.

A Ravenna man has pleaded guilty to two felony charges in connection with crimes he committed following the murder of his friend's mother on King Street in Ravenna in August.
Jordan A. Owen, 21, of 660 W. Riddle Ave., recently pleaded guilty to one count each of tampering with evidence and obstructing justice, both third-degree felonies that could send him to prison for up to three years apiece, in Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman's courtroom.
Sentencing is pending a pre-sentence investigation. Owen remains in the Portage County jail on $175,000 cash bond.
He admitted to tampering with evidence and obstructing a police investigation into the beating and strangulation murder of Pamela S. Fox, 56, at 601 King St. on Aug. 13.
Joseph W. Fox, 21, eventually admitted to killing his own mother during a burglary and robbery attempt. He was sentenced in September by Judge John Enlow to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Jordan Owen's brother Joseph A. Owen, 23, also of the West Riddle Avenue address, faces a Jan. 22 trial date in Judge John Enlow's courtroom on charges of obstructing justice, a third-degree felony, and forgery, a fifth-degree felony, for allegedly forging and then trying to cash a check belonging to Pamela Fox at a Ravenna bank the day after the murder.

VIDEO: Lindsay Lohan Jokes About Her DUI's As The New Face Of Lawyer.com
Lindsay Lohan is poking fun at her history of driving under the influence as the new spokesperson of Lawyer.com. While I'm all for self deprecation, this is a rather sketchy topic to make light of – it remains to be seen what the response will be. With that said, she has turned her life around, and is not only signed with the company for a year long deal, but is also an investor in the service. Ultimately I like Lindsay… I feel like she got caught up in a twisted Hollywood tale of child stars struggling to adapt and figure out a complicated business with a lot of the wrong people surrounding her.
See the spot below.
Three Words That Went So Viral That Kylie Wants To Trademark Them – And Why She's Right To Do It.
It all started when Kylie Jenner gave us a tour of her Kylie Cosmetics office on YouTube. Then, she went to wake her sleeping daughter, singing "rise and shine."
Maybe it was the way she sang it, but it went viral, memes followed, and it became the most hashtagged phrase EVER on Tik Tok. Almost immediately.
Within a week, she filed an application to trademark the phrase, hoping to turn the now viral moment into a merchandising opportunity. Folks called it excessive and silly, claiming such a common expression shouldn't be up for the taking.
Those people are wrong. What it is, is smart.
Take a look – the seemingly innocuous moment happens 15 minutes in to the tour.
Why is it smart? Because if she doesn't trademark it, someone else will. People are ALL about capitalizing on viral moments, and if she didn't, someone else would have tried to use Kylie's influence to benefit themselves, just like people are using the #RiseAndShine hashtag right now for views and likes. And that's not taking advantage of it?
In fact, she's not the first person to even apply for a trademark for the phrase. Roughly 100 applications, some active, some dead, have been filed with variations of the phrase over the years. A mattress company liked the sound of it, so did a coffee company, a beer, snack mix, and Hardee's wanted to use it to promote breakfast entrees. All of them make sense. McDonald's trademarked the common phrase "I'm Lovin' It." Emeril trademarked "Bam!" and Paris Hilton trademarked "That's hot." Having the trademark doesn't prohibit everyone else from saying it in conversation, but it does limit the ability for others to monetize it for themselves. It keeps a phrase that is uniquely attributed to another person or business from being used in a misleading way for monetary gain by others. Sports announcer Michael Buffer wisely trademarked "Let's get ready to rumble" so that others couldn't go and make t-shirts, mugs, and other merchandise with a catchphrase that he made famous. Anyone can file for a trademark on a phrase. In the end, the trademark office will decide if the application has merit. Before you do, it is suggested you seek the advice of a legal expert.
By now we know that Kylie Jenner is a successful business woman, given the enormous popularity of Kylie Cosmetics. It stands to reason that she is going to expand her scope of business. No matter WHAT she decided to name a spinoff of her brand, she would trademark it. By jumping on a phrase that is now already organically linked to her, thanks to the fans themselves, she merely did the SMART thing. Coming up with a brand name is one of the hardest things an entrepreneur does. Half of the ideas are taken, the others you don't love, and sometimes the ones you do love other people don't like.
So before we start hating on Kylie's fast acting ingenuity, we should be inspired and do some of it ourselves!

VIDEO: Why Paris Hilton Is A Chameleon.
Paris Hilton sat down with me and Makho Ndlovu at the People Now studios to talk about her new fragrance "Electrify," the first song she plays when she's DJ'ing, and what character's she likes the play… in real life!
What an amazing time it is visiting and guest co-hosting People Now. The people on camera and behind the scenes couldn't be more kind and welcoming! And Paris herself was absolutely charming and sweet.
Watch How This Hasselhoff Deepfake Takes Years Off The Actor!
Visual effects artist Chris Ume takes countless images of David Hasselhoff from his past Baywatch days, then creates a younger avator, blending the new, artificial Hof onto the real life Hoff.
The process of this crazy magic? It's called a Deepfake = combining and superimposing existing images and videos onto a source image or video. The process is incredible, and yet still relatively in its infancy. If things keep progressing this genre as we can only expect they will, it's not a stretch to imagine that we could someday see an actor actress play a younger version of themselves so convincingly we won't see how they did it.

How do you choose a whey protein powder? Do you go on the recommendation of your buddy at the gym and take what he takes? Do you pick the bottle with the shiniest, most cutting-edge label? Do you go by what tastes good or whats on sale at your local GNC?
The truth is, these are serious questions. You know that taking whey protein at the right times of day can make all the difference in between building an extra half-inch on your arms or adding 20 pounds to your personal best on the bench press. But not just any whey will do. There are great whey protein products and there are not-so-good whey protein products. And being able to tell the difference between them can be critical to your gains.
