SEATTLE - The FAA may be taking a new look at allowing some electronic devices to be used on planes. But don't expect it to happen anytime soon and don't expect your smartphone to be one of the permitted devices.
According to a New York Times business technology blog, an FAA spokesperson said the agency plans to take a "fresh look" at the problem of interference with airplane operation – a problem some passengers believe doesn't exist.
The last time the FAA did significant testing on electronic devices was 2006, before iPads and e-readers.
The testing process could be long. The New York Times reports each airline would have to offer up each version of a plane in its fleet to test each version of an electronic device.
For example, Alaska Airlines would have to offer up a 737-400, with no passengers on board, to test an iPad, an iPad 2 and the new iPad. Each test would need to be done on a separate flight. Then, they'd have to do it all over again for every version of an Amazon.com Kindle Fire and so on. Then they'd have to do it all over again on the 737-700, 737-800 and so on.
Due to this, it's not expected that testing will be done on smartphones since there are several hundred on the market with new ones coming out every month.
With millions of iPads, Kindles and laptops going through the nation's airports these days, when is it OK to turn them on in flight? Generally, when the airline says so, and the airline rules are not always consistent largely because the FAA puts much of the burden on the airlines to determine which devices will interfere with cockpit electronics and which ones won't.
This has been an issue for decades. In the 1990s, airlines worried that some of the early game consoles and laptops could interact with airplane navigation systems. Then it was smart phones and "airplane mode," which turned off the transmitting phone part but allowed WiFi and other smart phone functions to work in the air. But now the number of potential devices is growing again.
The FAA released this statement Monday:
"As with any regulation, safety is always our top priority, and no changes will be made until we are certain they will not impact safety and security. For some time, the FAA's rules have permitted an airline to allow passenger use of PEDs if the airline demonstrates the devices will not interfere with aircraft avionics. The FAA is exploring ways to bring together all of the key stakeholders involved, but, ultimately, testing is the responsibility of each airline. We recognize that this is an area of consumer interest, and our goal is to bring together these key stakeholders to help facilitate a discussion as we have in the past."
The blog also pokes some holes in the FAA's claims of how electronics affect avionics. Read more at The New York Times.

Two men from central Virginia are behind bars in connection with a double stabbing in Charlottesville. Police have arrested Jarrett Talley, 20, of Louisa, and Michael Harlow, 22, of Goochland following a stabbing incident that was triggered by a thrown beer can.
The two victims were visiting friends in Charlottesville for the weekend when the party in their apartment took a turn for the worse.
"The people who got the can thrown at them came upstairs to our floor, knocked on the door and asked who threw the can," Robert Fottrell told Charlottesville NBC affiliate WVIR. Then the conversation quickly turned violent.
The attack left behind a bloody scene at the apartment complex. The two victims, both 19 and from Arlington, were taken to UVA Medical Center for treatment for multiple stab wounds.
Talley and Harlow are both charged with two counts of malicious wounding. They are being held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Demand for steel should recover at a modest pace during the next 12 to 18 months, although it won't reach peak levels in the medium term, Fitch Ratings said in its Worldwide Steel Outlook.
Steel pricing should be constrained by excess capacity, but raw material price increases are expected to be passed through. Excess or below-cost production should be limited, and regional differences in steel market dynamics have re-emerged and will be a major influence on steel producers' profitability and cash flow generation in 2010, Fitch said.

We find it even before we begin the 18-mile drive that bridges the mainland to Key Largo. Robert is Here is an open-air tropical fruit stand busking shakes and seasonal specialties (at the moment, tomatoes). Its bins brim with mamey, sapodilla, star fruit and the ubiquitous mango. What it also offers is a number of paintings, which most visitors probably miss while poring over the produce.
Brushed on wood, the pictures are fading, but the message is clear. Paint how you live, what you see — art enters through the eye; it flows from what surrounds you.
Before developmentThe mile markers staked along U.S. 1 throughout the Keys were placed there by the Florida East Coast Railway in the early 20th century. Back then they probably didn't have the nod-and-wink adage: "Patience pays; only 3 minutes to passing zone." In those days there were no bikers bunched on the highway, no vans or campers, no telephone poles, bulldozers or barricades.
What there was, and what remains, is the green and blue of this place, the light, the stands of wild mangroves that fringe the bay side. Today they twitch in the wind as if they're anxious to keep growing, to creep across the asphalt and choke the road, cover it all with root and peat and leaf, the way it was here in the beginning.
We eat cashews and finish our shakes, just as we cross into Largo.
Audubon was a pioneerThe Upper Keys is storied in visual art. John James Audubon was one of the first known artists to work here, visiting Indian Key in 1832 and painting the birds that populate the area as readily as clouds: brown pelicans, great white herons, an assortment of terns and doves. All of them found fame in his naturalist tome, The Birds of America.
"…seldom have I experienced greater pleasures than when on the Florida Keys," he wrote about his time here, "under a burning sun, after pushing my bark for miles over a soapy flat."
In the 1930s the Works Progress Administration left its own indelible mark when it sent more than a dozen artists to the Keys with a mission: create works for its public buildings and paint its flora and fauna.
Some of the images were reproduced in postcards and posters and spread across the nation by a government eager to launch the Keys as a tourist mecca, and to save it from the Great Depression. The WPA even had its artists teach classes on how to make ashtrays out of shells and weave baskets and hats out of coconut fronds. Tourists needed trinkets to buy.
After checking into our hotel, we head out to see some of the art from this time. It is hung above the fiction and magazine stacks of the Monroe County Public Library in Islamorada. Set abreast a marshy inlet, the library is snug and cooled by AC units affixed to the wall, an unassuming place to hide and read.
The six bas reliefs in the back rooms were made by Joan van Breeman and depict children at play. Girls on swings or spinning globes, young men charging forth with footballs or boxing gloves.
In French, bas relief literally means low-raised work; it's sort of like a sculpture slightly bursting from a flat backdrop. With their simple compositions and white facades, the reliefs also bring to mind line drawings; they are both hopeful and humble, from another era altogether.
Across the street we find one final WPA work: a monument and crypt set in a triangular patch of grass between the north and southbound highways. The site is dedicated to the civilians and soldiers who died in the hurricane of 1935; some of their remains are buried here as well.
The obelisk part of the memorial is made from native keystone and spikes about 20 feet toward the sky, its top crowned with a relief of coconut palms bending before fierce winds. I've lived in Florida all my life and sped by this place on my way to other stops, not once seeing its sad and textured beauty.
We hardly say a word while we're here. A storm is rolling in and we're tired. The mosquitoes are biting my ankles. But on the drive back to the hotel I suddenly notice murals, everywhere; sponge coral and parrot fish sprawl across the sides of dive shops, store and garage facades are scrolled with manatees, dolphins, an Egyptian pharaoh.
At the dock behind our room, even a simple piling is transformed into a somber pelican. The seeds planted by the WPA long ago have taken root. In the Keys, art isn't just something to visit or display; it's part of everyday life.

Alright party people.
Basketball games played on the court are now done for Georgia Tech. As we endeavor to report the other basketball games — what decisions Gani Lawal and Derrick Favors will make regarding their futures — let's look to spring football, which will start on Monday.
As you may remember from the mailbag two weeks ago, http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-tech-sports/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1529, I attempted to address your questions about the football team.
I did my best, but there's only one person who knows everything that's going on at Tech and I don't think he's going to blog for me.
So, here are the storylines I'm most interested in following:
1. Who will win the outside linebacker jobs?
2. Who will win the nosetackle job?
3. Is Tevin Washington locked into the No. 2 quarterback job, or will he be significantly pushed by David Sims and Jordan Luallen?
4. Who will the competition between Quentin Sims, Kevin Cone, Stephen Hill and Tyler Melton for the two wide receiver spots?
5. How steep will the learning curve be for the 3-4 defense?
I hope to write about these, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff, once practice begins on Monday. The T-Day game is April 24.
Georgia Tech isn't getting a lot of love from the national media, mostly because of the loss Jonathan Dwyer, Derrick Morgan, Demaryius Thomas and Morgan Burnett, among others, to the pros.
Throw in the loss of Cord Howard and Brad Sellers, as well as Joe Gilbert, and the battle on the offensive line will be intriguing, as well.
I can say this: Johnson went 13-2 in his third season at Southern, and 10-2 in his third season at Navy. Of course, you don't have to worry about juniors leaving for the NFL at either one of those schools. It should be pointed out that Navy won 10 games with a quarterback, Aaron Polanco, running the show for the first time.
So what are you most interested in following this spring? Any predictions?

March 22nd, 2010

Offensive line and the defensive line.
March 22nd, 2010
2:28 pm
I have a lot of respect for Coach Johnson, and it will be intriguing to see how he fares with the losses from last season. I expect Tech to do well, but I'm interested in seeing how Tech, including my alma mater and the ACC schools, have adapted to playing the triple option. Good luck except in late November.
March 22nd, 2010
2:46 pm
THROW THE BALL! We can't run it all the time. Every team is stacking the line now. If Coach Johnson is the coach I know he is, then he will adjust to the defense adjustments and implement some run and shoot. Honestly, he has no choice. I hope Tech beats UGA and wins the ACC again and win a BCS bowl but don't see that happening this year. If that does happen, then Paul Johnson deserves coach of the year.

Nice classy post runningdog.
To RunNShoot, why are you saying he doesn't have a choice but to throw the ball now? We had one of the most productive offenses in the country and the best offense outside of the Big 12 (where there's no defense). We also had the most efficient passing offense in the country. So, when we threw the ball, we had a lot of success. Miami stopped us at the beginning of the year when we weren't clicking with the timing yet. UGA didn't stop us except when Nesbitt was hurt for a few series. Iowa was really the only legitimate team to legitimately stop us by their play. And we still scored 17 on them. If our defense gets to where we expect with Groh, we'll be able to win every game, even when the offense doesn't put up 30+. Not saying we will, but we'll have that ability.
March 22nd, 2010
4:07 pm
I think lucky hit the nail on the head. I see Cone and Hill starting at receiver with Washington as backup QB. Should be a good year, potentially a great one. We'll see. At least Tech is legitimately looking forward to football.
March 22nd, 2010

I'm putting my money on the linebackers. With the return of Jackson I think they will be the strongest unit on the team, and the team is going to be pretty good.

Don't forget the battle for starting a-back as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what alabama transfer Chris Jackson can do.
Just wondering what offense the other teams were utilizing. Guess it could not be anything like what the great UGA team uses.

Close the Cow College in Athens? Good Idea! and while you are at it- Close Georgia State too. Both are a waste of good tax money. Why do we need Ga State and 'Tech" one mile apart.

The transition of a defense to a 3-4 is not easy, especially if you don't have the athletes at NT and OLB. As Tech has not recruited for this defense until this year, it may be a difficult transition at first…one would think they are more likely to be able to fill the OLB position than the NT. It will be an interesting transition. Hopefully, it will allow them to improve from last year! Also, the replacement of 3 starters on the OL, and their backups will be crucial.

Curious to see who steps up on the leadership role among the starters on defense. That may not happen until Fall practice.
Based on what I saw in the preseason last year (before Luallen got hurt), I'd like to see him win the back-up QB position … because he looks to have the better skills. If he doesn't win back-up QB, that's not good because I think it means his weaknesses are so bad as to counter the skill advantage his has over Washington and Sims.
Of course, CPJ knows what he's doing. Fortunately, I don't have to coach; I can just be a fan and enjoy the ride!

Tech fans are so full of excuses. Your q.b goes out for one series and that's why UGA kicked your asses. I think the problem was your pathetic d.l. that got pushed around all night. Newsflash nerds: when another team rushes for over 300 yards against you, you got your ass handed to you. One last thing you excuse making losers, UGA's best offensive player was out for the whole game. A scary thought for next year, all of UGA's o.l and r.b's return next year, plus A.J. Green. Can u say ouch!!
March 22nd, 2010
6:30 pm
Maybe I'm too much of a homer but I think there is a player of equal value ready to step into any vacated postion sans safety. Hill will step up and Anthony Allen will run for more yards than The Diesel did this year. Call me crazy but the only thing that will stop this train is our own mistakes. Ramblin Wreck!
Anyone know the over/under on the next uga player arrest? I'm gonna say 6 days. Easter at the latest as the uga crowd likes to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with Natural Light.

Who cares …… GA's game plan in 2009 was to run the ball thus control the clock keeping GT's offense off the field. If AJ Green played would they have abandoned their game plan? Not for a second, b/c their EXECUTION was flawless, rushing for a Richt-era best 339 yards.
You and most of your fellow GA fans didn't give your dogs much of a chance heading into the 2009 game vs. GT. Now, funny how a win over GT has put many GA fans back into the "invincble vs GT" mindset. FYI … the better team on paper is 0-2 in the PJ vs Richt series.

Doug, that's a pretty good list of questions to start with.
Right now, I'm a little more interested in the defense since they were horrible last year, and we have a pretty good idea of what CPJ will do with the offense.
At nose tackle we have the young guys with huge size (Barnes& Lanier), and we have a couple of vets in Anderson and Walls that are as big as the nose tackles Groh used at UVA. He does seem to like big DE's and OLB's (as is common in the 3-4), but Tech has an interesting combination of players to play these positions. Cross and Peters are top candidates for the DE's, but there are several others that will vie for playing time like Dieke, Eqbuniwe, Hall, Wilson and others — even the rookie, Denzel McCoy might work into the rotation.
Outside linebacker will be the most interesting transition this spring, and will give us a chance to see how Groh meshes the personel. He will have to blend some traditional linebackers like Sylvester, Munroe, Jackson, Burnett, and others with some converted DE's.

All of you UGA people need to continue paying all that attention to you tail gate partys.What a buuch of bottom dwellers.
March 22nd, 2010
8:29 pm
The back-up quarterbacks will get plenty of reps in spring practice which will be good for their development, as we all know what Josh is capable of under center (ACC OPY). Look for Logan Walls, and J.C. Lanier at nose tackle. I also expect to see Albert Rocker and Osahon Tongo moved to inside linebacker in the 3/4 for depth and playing time. The competition on the o-line will be interesting with plenty of redshirt freshman getting their chance. Keep an eye on Wil Jackson and Antonio Foster.
Jemea Thomas will step in at safety along with Cooper Taylor. Can't wait to get this started.

To who cares: you're right. You handed it to us and ran it down our throats. You didn't punt. Yet, our offense was good enough last year to be in two of three losses like that. When we play this year, look for a better defense and the same skill on offense.
As good as Dwyer, Bay Bay, Burnett and Morgan were, Tech still CAN be better this year. Of course, we can be worse too. Hill is just as fast if not faster than Bay Bay. Allen averaged 9.7 yards per carry last year. We're going to have one more LB on the field at any given time, which should be the strength of the team. Different and confusing blitz/coverage packages will protect the secondary and get us more production out of our d-backs due to poorly thrown balls.
Next year's team has depth, albeit somewhat untested, for the first time in a long time. Look for this season to hinge on the defense, not the offense. Slightly better defense last year and Tech goes 13-1.

It seems pretty obvious, at least to me, that the starting WRs will be Stephen Hill and Tyler Melton.

One more thing that makes looking forward to the upcomming season great. EVERY SINGLE GT FAN in the O'Leary days was wondering why we couldn't get an effective defensive coordinator to go with our juggernaut offense. EVERY SINGLE GT FAN in the Gailey era was wondering why we didn't EVER attack on offense to match our attacking defense. Come on, how many of you said "man, if we still had Joe Hamilton and Fridge to go with Tenuta, we'd be winning championships"?
In 2010, we will have a combination of coaching talent that I've personally never seen at Tech. In fact, it's rare that you ever get a coaching staff of this quality. The most similar combinations I can think of are Bowden and Andrews at FSU (in the 90's), Beamer and Foster at VT, Weis and Belichik with New England, and maybe Meyer and Strong at UF.
I'm not saying GT will have that success (though I'm hoping for it). I'm just saying these two men are as respected at their positions as the others were at theirs.

Tokyo Jacket,
Just look back to '90 for coaching excellence — Bobby Ross at head, O'Leary as DC and Friedgen as OC. When O'Leary and Friedgen only had to worry about one side of the ball, they were a pretty good tandem (i.e. 1990 co-national champs). Nether have truly panned out as head coaches….

ACC is so great in basketball, I thought ?
UGA Women won again in the NCAA Tournament to run our record to 25-8 on the season, while Georgia tek has been finished in basketball for some time now both in women's and men's basketball.
ACC Sweet 16 ? Duke is it in men's basketball while The SEC has 2 teams the vols and Kentucky.
750 wins for Andy Landers, averaging over 24 wins a season, so this is an average season for him.
18 times Andy Landers has been in the Regional Semi-Finals. This year's squad cannot shoot. But, they can play some defense.
UGA advances to play Stanford, another school Georgia tek is NOT.
While the nation ponders the thoughts of Georgia tek bragging they are better than all the teams remaining in The NCAA Tournament, the facts are that not only did UGA beat Georgia tek in football 30-24 but also beat Georgia tek in both men's basketball 73-66 and women's basketball 56-50.
So, while Georgia tek remains at home their seasons over, UGA advances.
UGA also beat Georgia tek in the classrooms this year with a higher APR than Georgia tek in football, men's basketball and women's basketball, the Major Sports.
Assailed in the national press for your low academics, the worst in college basketball in the NCAA Tourney this season, Georgia tek also could not win in men's basketball even with your 914 Academic Progress Rate, limited by the NCAA Probation to only 11 scholarships.
Sweet 16 for Georgia 18 times now for Andy Landers.
NCAA Tournament Action :
SEC Men 4-2
ACC Men 5-5
SEC Women 9-1
ACC Women 4-4
ACC has neither a winning record in NCAA Tourney Men
ACC has neither a winning record in NCAA Tourney Women
SEC has winning record in BOTH NCAA Tourney Men & Women.
SEC is kicking the butts of ACC in basketball, again.

I will say it, Tech will be FAR FAR better than UGA this season, just like last year. UGA was 7-5 and will be lucky if they do that well this year. UGA fans are very good fans and I respect that, but the reality of UGA football is another 7-5 season with yet another QB learning the ropes. Tech has a very good shot at being undefeated this season again. Last year Tech had NO DEFENSE. They could have put a pop warner team on the field for defense and it would have been FAR FAR better than what was out there. EVERY SINGLE DEFENSIVE COACH was fired or left. Tells you something, and don't be fooled into thinking this was just the way it worked out, CPJ will not put up with that kind of performance and now everyone is gone. Bring in a hall of fame defensive coordinator and Tech will have far far better defense this year. No one has ever stopped CPJ before and it won't happen this year either. UNC game is the third game of the year, if Tech can win that, they really have a shot at a great year. Just one more fact, How is it that Tecfh lost 2 players from defense on a defense that sucked and is hurt by losses, while VT lost 7 starters on defense and is the team to beat, Look for GT to give VT another beat down.

Doug, clearly the poster above known as 'MESSENGER' formerly known as BullDawg or something of the sort is on here with his usual crap. Please kick this complete jerk and bad representative of the Bulldog nation. I have respect for UGA Grads including yourself, but please do us all a favor and kick him.

To vamosjackets: "We had one of the most productive offenses in the country and the best offense outside of the Big 12 (where there's no defense)." Unfortunately, we didn't have a defense either. That was the problem. We would have fit in well in the Big 12.

10:01 am
O-Line, the new 3-4, and the passing game. I think with the revamped O-Line, they will need more balance on offense. 3 to 5 step passing game needs to be a staple. I don't think the defense can get any worse than it was despite losing Morgan and Burnett. I think that NT (should be Lanier) position is going to be the key. I am looking forward to the season to see how it all unfolds. I know it will tough to win 10 or 11 games again, but we'll see.

Will Reuben Houston ever get control of his life?
Will Tech ever win vs UGA in Athens in basketball?
Will CPJ scream SLAP EM, SLAP EM IN THEIR 1980 FACES after UGA runs up 450 yds on them come November and UGA's L backes hold the BONE to 33 yds, like dwyer got??

AdChina and 20+ industry leaders jointly open a new era in programmatic branding
SHANGHAI, July 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The kick-off press conference of China's first programmatic branding research project was held in Beijing on June 11th. The six largest agency groups (Publicis Groupe's Audience On Demand, Omnicom Group's Accuen, &c. Inc.'s iDSP, IPG's Cadreon, GroupM's Xaxis and Aegis Group's Amnet), over 20 publisher groups (Sohu.com, YoukuTudou, CBSi Group, Kmplayer, LeTV, Douban, ImgoTV, Yesky, Pacific Group, Funsion, YOKA and China's largest mobile SSP, Mogo), two leading advertisers (Unilever and Intel) and the two product partners of the research project (AdBugTech, specializing in brand safety and RTBChina, specializing in non-human flow identification), jointly launched the programmatic branding research project and embarked on the exploration of new models for programmatic brand marketing.
Focusing on brand programmatic buying, China's first programmatic branding research project is a 3-5-year long-term research plan led by AdChina and an authoritative third party, with industry leading enterprises to jointly drive the development of the industry. At the press conference, more than 10 major Internet players shared their views. AdChina CEO Alan Yan gave an overview of the project. AdMaster COO Calvin Chan, who was brought to the conference as an independent third party by special invitation, elaborated on the direction of the research and the theoretical systems being applied to the project. OMD general manager of China programmatic buying, Yuan Jun, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Take the pulse of the programming era and engage in efficient brand marketing." In a following round table, Intel marketing manager Ling Chen, &c. Inc. CMO Daniel Yin, IPG Mediabrands China digital managing director Prince Zhang, Douban vice president of business Oscar Huang, product management center deputy director of advertising platform products division at Tencent OMG Simon He and AdChina vice president Michael Gao engaged in an in-depth discussion where they explored the conversion of brand marketing models into a programmatic process.
In his speech, Alan Yan first talked about the trend towards programmatic transactions in the U.S. and the acceleration in the adoption of programmatic branding. Programmatic buying is becoming a mainstream activity as more and more advertising budgets will be allocated to brand programmatic buying. In 2013, 53 percent of online advertising deals in the U.S. were conducted programmatically. The figure is expected to climb to 83 percent by 2017.
In the case of China, 2014 will be the year when the adoption of programmatic branding begins. It was estimated that 50 percent of China's advertising expenditures on programmatic buying will be for brand launches by 2017. Programmatic branding is faced with opportunities and challenges. Programmatic buying can achieve audience buying by using intelligent optimization algorithms in real time to adjust the advertising, while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the advertising campaign.
Nevertheless, at the same time, brand advertisers have expressed concerns on how the quality of the resources will be ensured with programmatic buying, how to optimize for brand indicators, how to more effectively measure the effectiveness of brand communication and how to secure brand safety. Therefore, AdChina launched China's first programmatic branding research project and was very honored to have more than 20 leaders within the industry united to jointly promote the programmatic branding process. The research has attracted more than tens of millions advertising budgets, focusing on three major research directions, through more than 20 actual advertising cases, with the participation and witness of the authoritative third party AdMaster to verify the importance and the feasibility of programmatic brand buying.
AdMaster COO Calvin Chan delivered a detailed presentation on the three areas of emphasis for the research and the theoretical systems that will be applied to the project. He said advertising brand index (ABI), audience buying and mobile marketing are the main areas of concern for brand advertisers. As the specially invited independent third party to the event, he was glad to see the participation of so many publishers, advertising agencies and advertisers in the project, signaling that programmatic branding has already entered an initial stage of acceptance and the expectation is high that the research project will be highly welcomed across the sector.
Speaking on behalf of the agencies, OMD general manager of China programmatic buying, Yuan Jun, delivered the keynote speech on taking the pulse of a programming era as a tool for engaging in effective brand marketing. In his speech, Yuan Jun mentioned that programmatic buying would be a major trend going forward and all the communication channels in the future would be programmed. TV, LED and even magazine advertising would be handled programmatically. To increase level of acceptance, further education and training would be needed to help brand advertisers to understand and experience the effectiveness and the high level of control delivered through programmatic buying. China, like its European and American counterparts, is on track to put 50 percent of its brand budgets into programmatic buying. The significance of this research project is to provide advertisers, through practical research, with hands-on cases and experience on how to apply programmatic buying to brand promotion. Accuen hopes to join AdChina in promoting programmatic buying and pushing the market to develop in the right direction.
The event was merely a launch ceremony of China's first programmatic branding research project. It will be followed by recruiting more high-caliber partners, including advertisers, agencies and publisher groups. In September this year, organizers will publish the results of the research. We will continue to follow up all the process and explore the new model of programmatic brand marketing.

BlackBerry is throwing millions at new CEO
John Chen will receive a bumper payout as he tries to help the smartphone maker regain its footing.
By Reuters
BlackBerry (BBRY) will pay its new interim CEO a base salary of $1 million, a bonus of up to twice that amount as well as stock awards potentially worth some $85 million, in the hopes of turning around Canada's most prominent technology company.
John Chen, the second consecutive chief executive officer at BlackBerry to receive a bumper package, will have to help the embattled smartphone maker regain its footing and win back market share ceded to the likes of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and a range of devices that run on Google's (GOOG) Android operating system.
Chen was credited with turning around Sybase in the late 1990s. Sybase, an enterprise software company, was eventually acquired by SAP (SAP) in 2010.
Chen's share awards only begin to vest after he completes three years with BlackBerry, and the majority of the options will vest only after he completes his fifth year, according to a regulatory filing late on Thursday.
Should Chen be fired without cause, he will be paid up to $6 million, according to the filing.
Chen's appointment came after BlackBerry stunned many on Monday when it abandoned plans to sell itself and instead opted to raise funds via a $1 billion notes offering led by Fairfax, its largest shareholder.
Fairfax, led by investment guru Prem Watsa, had said it was investing $250 million in the offering.
In its filing on Thursday, BlackBerry said Canso Investment Counsel is investing $300 million in the offering, while Mackenzie Financial, Markel Corp., Qatar Holding, and Brookfield Asset Management are buying the remainder.
As part of the financing deal, BlackBerry has agreed to pay a fee to the investors if it does reach an alternate deal that results in the sale of the company, either before, or within 30 days of the close of this deal.
Depending on the circumstances, the fee could range between $135 million and $250 million.
The investors have also pledged to a standstill agreement, for a period of one year, that restricts them from owning more than 19.9 percent of the company's outstanding shares, a move likely aimed at preventing any creeping takeover of BlackBerry.
Thorsten Heins, who is forced to step down as BlackBerry's CEO as one of the terms attached to the financing deal, could also be set to receive millions in severance after two years in the job. The exact amount will depend on the terms settled with the company.

A new investigation has revealed that human skeletons discovered in caves on the North York Moors were likely to have been the victims of ritual sacrifice 2,000 years ago.
A forensic examination of their bones, for the BBC's History Cold Case series, has revealed evidence that at least one of them had been scalped.
Human remains were first discovered in the series of caves, known as the Ryedale Windy Pits, in the 19th Century and further excavations took place in the 1950s.
While it has always been clear the bones had experienced some kind of trauma it has taken a new forensic investigation to reveal more about how these people might have met their deaths. Read more.

Acknowledging that scores on a national reading test may have been inflated, Maryland education officials changed course this week, saying they will work harder to reduce the number of special education students excluded from taking the test.
State school Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery said she would discuss the issue with local superintendents, testing directors and special education supervisors across the state in the coming year, putting more pressure on the local school districts to limit the practice. Recently released memos also show that state Department of Education officials have encouraged school systems over the years to include more children on the national test.
"I am concerned about people having a good baseline of information on how we as a state are performing," Lowery said.
When Maryland scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress were released this month, they showed the state had the highest exclusion rate of special education and immigrant students learning English. Maryland excluded 66 percent of fourth-graders with disabilities on the NAEP, far higher than the national rate of 16 percent. In eighth grade, 60 percent of students were excluded.
Because those students tend to be some of the lowest-performing, excluding many of them meant that average scores rose.
Politicians and education advocates questioned whether Maryland was gaming the system and whether its much-lauded reputation as No. 1 in the nation for education was accurate. NAEP scores, considered the nation's most reliable long-term gauge of student performance, are among the factors used by Education Week to determine state rankings each year. Maryland has been No. 1 for five years in a row, a fact Gov. Martin O'Malley often points out.
The National Center for Education Statistics, which administers the test, estimates that Maryland's scores were 7 points higher for fourth-grade reading and 5 points higher for eighth-grade reading because of the exclusion. Math scores were not affected as much.
Maryland has generally had much higher scores in reading than the rest of the nation. This year its official scores were the third highest of all the states in fourth-grade reading, but when the scores are recalibrated by the National Center for Education Statistics to account for the high exclusion rates, Maryland drops to 13th in the nation. In eighth-grade reading, its rank drops from seventh to 14th.
In Maryland, individual schools decide which special education students take the NAEP test, and over the years, state superintendents have attempted to nudge the districts to exclude fewer children. In the fall of 2010 under then-state Superintendent Nancy S. Grasmick and in 2012 under Lowery, memos were written to the districts explaining their concerns.
In her letter, Lowery included a chart showing how the state's exclusion rates were climbing each time the NAEP was given. She ended the letter by saying that she wanted to "ensure valid assessments of academic performance" of Maryland students.
But two weeks ago, state officials said they had little control over the exclusion rate.
Maryland says it had excluded such a high number of special education children and those learning English as a second language because many have education plans that allow test questions to be read to them on the Maryland State Assessments. The NAEP does not allow this so-called read-aloud accommodation.
The read-aloud accommodations have been determined by administrators and teachers on a case-by-case basis at the school level. The strategy is designed to help students have better comprehension and answer questions more accurately.
Some educators believe the accommodation has been too widely used in Maryland and may be inflating state scores as well.
Low-achieving schools or schools trying to raise their scores are particularly likely to use the accommodation, said Lynn Hendrickson, who has been teaching third grade for the past 13 years in Montgomery County schools.
"There are a lot of kids that get the read-aloud," she said, pointing out that many of those students can read, but their comprehension isn't good. "If you have someone read to them they can get a proficient score."
Of the 27 students she taught in a regular class one year, she said, only eight took the test in a regular way; the rest got special accommodations.
But she questions whether those accommodations were always needed. "I had a kid who could read 'Harry Potter' and I was supposed to read him the math test off the computer," she said.
In some cases, she said, students are embarrassed by the read-aloud accommodation.
"It is not measuring what [the student] can do. ... I don't know if you are really getting a true skill level" with the accommodation, she said, adding that she believes MSA scores have been inflated by its use.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Pepper Jack Enchiladas
This weekend marked the second weekend in a row with virtually no plans, and I was pretty happy about it. Last weekend was about doing nothing, this weekend was about tackling projects! On Saturday afternoon I decided to go to the store just for a few things, but ended up filling my cart thinking of new recipes. I have NOT been cooking for months, so this was a big deal.
This meal was one of my first recipes that I have ever made up. Yep, all by myself. Of course there were things I would change, but it was worth a shot.
Sweet Potato Black Bean Pepper Jack Enchiladas
- 2 cans of enchilada sauce
- 5 flour tortillas
- chopped green onions
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 cup of black beans
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup of spinach chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic
- 1 tbsp tony's creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons oil
1) Set oven to 350. Finely chop of sweet potatoes and toss with olive oil and tony's. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. I also made rice during this step.
2. Mix together cheese, spinach, garlic, green onions, black beans in a bowl.
3. In a small baking dish, cover the bottom with enchilada sauce. Create an enchilada rolling station and also put a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of that. Add sweet potatoes to the cheese mix and scoop about 3/4 cup of mix into the tortillas. Roll up and place in your dish.
4. Place all enchiladas in the dish and COVER with sauce. I like to put foil on top to keep the moisture in. Bake for 45 minutes and cover with cheese!
EAT! Let me know how they turn out!

Last week, I got samples of two excellent Edmunds St. John wines from their local distributor, and when I asked Bennett Traub (who is "enjoying" an extended sojourn in the Day-twah area) if he'd like to "evaluate" them with us, he needed very little arm twisting. Both wines were enjoyed with lamb burgers, sweet corn on the cob and crispy fried cauliflower, and were also quite tasty on their own as we continued to sip them after dinner.
2000 Edmunds St. John Los Robles Viejos Paso Robles Red Wine Rozet Vineyard, $27.99, 14.1% alc.: Dark garnet in color, fading to pink at the rim; on the nose, this gives dark plums and berries underscored with subtle earth and spice. Flavors echo and expand with plenty more earth, some smoke and a certain roasted, sunbaked quality. After his first few sips, Bennett observed that this is "soft, but not unstructured; almost Bordeaux-like," and in fact, while the excellent structure bodes well for some years of further development, it is already drinking quite well right now. It really mellows with extended air, maintaining a long, lingering finish throughout, and you can bet that I'll be bringing a few more of these home, since I bought a case each of this and the following wine for my department. A blend of 45% Mourvedre, 30% Syrah, 21% Grenache and 4% Counoise that is surprisingly Chateauneuf du Pape-like in character. Edmunds St. John Owner/Winemaker Steve edmunds tells me that this was the first year that these vines produced any grapes, so obviously, Bacchus was watching over things with loving care!
2000 Edmunds St. John El Dorado Syrah "Wylie-Fenaughty," $34.99, 14.1% alc.: Dark garnet in color, fading to pink at the rim; aromas of sea air, dark plums and berries accented with hints of vanilla cream and subtle spice waft from the glass, following through on the palate with more of everything, and some added earth, smoke and even a note of shiso leaf, according to Bennett and Kim. Again, the wine shows excellent structure and length on the finish; Bennett noted that this one is riper than the Los Robles Viejos, adding that it's "ripe, with its toes on the line" of going over the top, but never crossing that line. I found it to be perhaps a little better behaved than that, but still, this is one very tasty and impressive wine, both for current consumption and/or for laying down for three to five years or more.
These are both delicious wines; to me, they show no excesses of any kind, and perhaps best of all, they exhibit more earth and, dare I say it, terroir, than many from the left coast. In fact, these are two of the closest things to red Rhones from California that I've ever had the pleasure to taste. Next week, I think I'll bring in the '01 Edmunds St. John California Syrah and give that a try, based on some favorable notes I've read lately.

WICOMICO CO., Md. - A wanted Salisbury woman was arrested, after she allegedly over tweeted at a local law enforcement agency.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office says 48-year-old Carla Richardson posted 32 tweets to their Twitter feed, in just over 45 minutes, about the judicial process and her own personal situation.
The tweets prompted Sheriff Office personnel to look into the identity of the person to understand her situation. During their research, they found an open District Court Body Attachment, that was issued after Richardson reportedly failed to appear in court in May, after a dispute with Enterprise Rental Cars.
Police say that based on her tweets, a Deputy was able to locate her, and take her into custody. She was charged with failure to appear and released.
