Nix back at South team practicePosted by on January 24, 2013 – 11:22 am
It's a sparse crowd of scouts and coaches this morning for the South team practice at the Senior Bowl. But Bills GM Buddy Nix is on the sidelines this morning keeping a close eye on the QBs.
Many NFL personnel execs have moved on from Mobile with the practice s winding down for the week. The South team is going through a glorified walk through under brilliant blue skies and temperatures in the mid sixties.
Nix is eyeballing QBs EJ Manuel, Tyler Wilson and Landry Jones for the South. Wilson has been the most consistent performer of this weeks QB prospects

Bills scout's view of Senior Bowl LBsPosted by on January 24, 2013 – 11:00 am
The Bills have been talking for months about their need to upgrade the linebacker spot. And what better place to start the process, than the Senior Bowl this week.
There are a total of 14 linebackers on hand at the premier All Star showcase for draft eligible players this year, six on the North squad and seven on the South. And Bills Assistant General Manager Doug Whaley talked about the most impressive linebackers at the Senior Bowl so far, during an appearance Wednesday night on The John Murphy Show.
"One of the best guys I've seen out there is Vince Williams of Florida State," Whaley said on the radio show. "He has shown some physicality out there, knocking a couple of guys on their behinds, offensive linemen twice his size. He's doing a good job hitting the running back in the hole."
The Bills Assistant GM went on to talk some other linebackers who have impressed in the first three days of Senior Bowl workouts.
"Sean Porter an outside linebacker from Texas A and M. He's shown an ability to close on the ball and did some good things in coverage, so he's been pretty impressive.
"Chase Thomas of Stanford—he's a high energy high effort guy. He may be a little limited physically, but he tries to make up for it with his hustle and heart.
"John Simon of Ohio State—he's a guy that has a good upside. He's got to get used to playing inside, they played him at a lot of different positions at Ohio State. He's got some upside."

Bills Doug Whaley on Senior Bowl WRsPosted by on January 24, 2013 – 10:30 am
It's a talented and deep class of Wide Receivers at the Senior Bowl in Mobile this week. And the Assistant General Manager of the Bills, Doug Whaley, says several of the wideouts have already made favorable impressions.
In an appearance on The John Murphy Show Wednesday night live from Mobile, Whaley talked about the wide receivers who have caught his eye during the first three days of Senior Bowl practices.
"Quinton Patton (Louisiana Tech). He had a great day today catching the deep ball," Whaley told host John Murphy. "And Cobi Hamilton of Arkansas has done a good job of making contested catches. Tavarres King of Georgia had an outstanding day Tuesday. Those guys have been pretty impressive."
"You'd have to say Marquise Goodwin (Texas). He's a speed guy, he's going to have some trouble, he'll need to work on getting off the press. Aaron Dobson from Marshall is another guy that has a nice combination of size and speed and can judge and go get the deep ball. He's been pretty good. And Aaron Mellette from Elon—a big guy that's smooth. 6-0 204-pounds. He's got some size and he's smooth. Coming from a small school, he's stepped up and he's shown that this isn't too big a stage for him."

Bills scouts ready for juniorsPosted by on January 24, 2013 – 10:00 am
The Buffalo Bills scouting staff has been hard at work all week, looking over the prospects at the Senior Bowl in Mobile. But starting tomorrow, they will utilize their scouting combine, BLESTO, to dig into the juniors who have been declared eligible for the April draft.
Seventy three juniors will join the seniors in the NFL draft this year, most of whom are not able to attend this week's Senior Bowl. But Bills Assistant General Manager Doug Whaley says he and GM Buddy Nix will sit down with the BLESTO scouts Friday in Mobile, to get their assesments of the crop of juniors coming into the draft in three months.
"Since the official declaration of the juniors eligible for the draft was January 18th, those guys (BLESTO) have been working on those juniors since the 18th hit," Whaley said, during an appearance Wednesday night on The John Murphy Show live at the Senior Bowl.
"What they (BLESTO) do is give us a breakdown on what each of those juniors is about, and how they categorize those guys draft wise. And that will help us narrow our focus."
Whaley says the actual meetings with the BLESTO scouting combine scouts starts Thursday night, with BLESTO's reports on late additions to the Senior class of draft prospects, players that, for whatever reason, jumped up and made themselves draft-possible prospects in their senior year.
"There's guys that may have looked at over the fall that may not have started, or started to have a good year, that they upgraded," Whaley said. "And that's what we'll go over on Thursday night. We want to see any seniors that had a good year, guys that they say, hey, we didn't have them rated that high last spring."
"The BLESTO scouts will give us his information, here's his lineage, here's how he played , here's what we thought about him when he played. Obviously, we had some scouts in on him, but we like to use that information resource as well, to get as much information on the players."

Bills' Doug Whaley on Manti Te'OPosted by on January 24, 2013 – 9:30 am
While much of the football world, and much of America for that matter, is following the Manti Te'O situation with heightened anticipation, it seems like the Buffalo Bills are sitting back, waiting for the dust to settle, and then moving forward to evaluate Te'O as a football player first.
Bills Assistant GM Doug Whaley talked about the Notre Dame linebacker Wednesday night, during an appearance on The John Murphy Show from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Te'O is embroiled in a controversy regarding a non-existent girlfriend whom he talked about last fall, indicating that she had passed away.
But the Bills are first and foremost interested in learning more about Te'O as a player.
"We always say you grade the player as a football player," Whaley told host John Murphy. "All the off field stuff, we'll decide on that when we sit down with Russ and Buddy and see how that guy's character would affect him being a Buffalo Bill. You don't want to discount his talent because of his character, because if you do that, you start putting guys that are less talented above him. That's why we want to make sure as a player we get him right."
Whaley had high praise for Te'O as a player, despite his struggles in the BCS Championship game against Alabama earlier this month.
"I think he's a productive guy that has made some plays to win some games," Whaley said. "Everybody says he had a bad game against Alabama. It's tough to play against that level. But against Southern Cal, to get them to the National Championship, that goal line stand, he was an integral part of that. The interception to win the game at Oklahoma, he made that play. Michigan State–another interception."
"He's a playmaker. We'd like to get his exact measurables, height, weight, etc. And I think another big thing for him will be his forty time at the combine."
The entire interview with Doug Whaley is available on The John Murphy Show podcast on BuffaloBills.com, or by listening above.

Dobson known for tough catchesPosted by on January 24, 2013 – 9:08 am
Marshall WR Aaron Dobson, who we profile on the home page of Buffalobills.com this morning, made more than his share of difficult catches during his college career. Perhaps the most popular is his one-handed backhanded grab against East Carolina in 2011.
It was just a 13-yard touchdown reception, but the degree of difficulty was pretty significant considering his back is to the ball.
Watching some of his route running he has a somewhat unconventional style. I'm not saying he's Stevie Johnson, but he's a bit unorthodox at times like Stevie. He's certainly an interesting prospect that's likely to be a mid-second round pick according to most draft prognosticators.

South on the field for Wednesday workoutPosted by on January 23, 2013 – 3:21 pm
A few more clouds in the sky for the South team practice at the Senior Bowl in Mobile Wednesday afternoon. Not only do the players have to perform for NFL scouts and coaches but the NFL Network is here for complete live coverage of the workouts (picture below).
With the Bills interest in linebackers, we"ll be keeping an eye on the LB talent including a couple that Bills GM Buddy Nix singled out for praise this week: Nico Johnson of Alabama and Vince Williams of FSU. Another LB, Jake Johnson of South Alabama had to be carted off the field after injuring his lower right leg early in today's practice.
Speaking of injuries, still no sign of Akron,NY native J.C. Tretter on the field yet. He broke his nose a couple of weeks ago and has been held out of practice. We'll get the story straight from him when he joins us on The John Murphy Show live from the Senior Bowl tonight.

Manuel: I bring versatilityPosted by on January 23, 2013 – 12:48 pm
E.J. Manuel played in more of a pro-style offense at Florida State, which stretched the field and differed from the more popular spread and read option attacks in college. But Manuel feels his athletic ability makes him a fit for that kind of offense as well should it be the one he has to execute in the NFL.
"I think the fact that I can do the read option as far as reading the end and doing the run off of it or throwing the bubble (screen) outside," said Manuel after practice at the Senior Bowl. "We had the vertical game, we did a lot of that at Florida State, plus you have to have some quick guys around you and I had that at Florida State. So we didn't run the same exact offense as far as the option or the spread, but I know I could do it and it would be an easy transition for me."
Manuel met with the Eagles and their new head coach Chip Kelly, who also recruited Manuel out of high school.

Wednesday Senior Bowl-North practicePosted by on January 23, 2013 – 12:01 pm
Another picture perfect football day in Mobile as the Senior Bowl practices continue. The North squad is on the field this morning at Ladd-Peebles stadium under pristine blue skies with the temps in the low 60s. It looks like day three of practice means the QB rotation is shuffled again with Miami's Zac Dysert getting the first reps followed by Ryan Nasib of Syracuse, then Mike Glennon of N.C. State. Michigan's Denard Robinson is getting his first work of the week at wide receiver. He struggled with a couple of drops on individual and 7 on 7 work. Robinson is still recovering from an elbow injury. One of the best receivers this week has been Marshall's Aaron Dobson. At 6-2 203 lbs he's got the size the Bills are looking for. He's fast enough and seems to run fluidly. Dobson's draft stock has been rising steadily and many observers think he's moved into the first round.

FSU's Manuel hoping for chance to startPosted by on January 23, 2013 – 11:32 am
Florida State QB E.J. Manuel, who is participating for the South team at the Senior Bowl practices this week realizes an NFL team will pick him, not the other way around. But the eager senior signal caller would prefer to go to a team with more uncertainty at the quarterback position.
"It would be (more appealing)," said Manuel. "To be able to go in and obviously still work hard because nobody is going to give you a position. Every team still has good players with veterans there, and those are the guys I would learn from, but whatever situation I go into I'm going to go in and work hard."
Manuel met with the Bills earlier this week, just like the other five quarterbacks participating at the Senior Bowl.

A Bills fan's guide to the Senior BowlPosted by on January 22, 2013 – 11:30 pm
For Bills GM Buddy Nix, a trip to Mobile for the Senior Bowl in January is an established routine. Nix says he's been coming to the Senior Bowl for at least the last thirty years.
But for fans who are just starting to plug into the showcase game for college seniors, and maybe just starting to look ahead at the NFL Draft in April, the Bills top football decision maker has some advice.
In an appearance on The John Murphy Show Tuesday night, Nix offered some scout's guidelines on what Bills fans should look for, when they watch Senior Bowl practices on the NFL Network, or the game itself this Saturday. The Bills GM has said all along the club's top priorities in the draft are QB, WR and LB. So he tailored his advice to those three positions.
"When you're looking at linebackers, I think that's changed now," Nix told host John Murphy. "You want a guy who can run and cover and can match up against a slot or a tight end. See if that guy 's got enough mobility in space to cover."
"The receivers, obviously we want a guy who can go up and snatch tne ball, that he's open when he's covered. See if they'll go up and high point the ball and get it," he continued.
"Quarterbacks, I think the big thing with them is can they win the game? Do they do something to win the game? Can they play good in the fourth quarter, in the last three or four minutes."
Nix and his scouting staff will spend the rest of the week in Mobile to assess the 110 or so prospects on hand. And they'll do the same thing next month, when the draft class convenes at the Combine in Indianapolis.
The John Murphy Show will broadcast live from the Senior Bowl in Mobile Wednesday night. The show airs weeknights from 7-9pm on the flagship station of the Bills, WGR Sports Radio 550.

Nassib: Bills would be match made in heavenPosted by on January 22, 2013 – 11:09 pm
Bills play-by-play man John Murphy caught up with Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib at the Senior Bowl for an interview with Buffalobills.com. Prior to extolling the virtues of Bills head coach Doug Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, Nassib was asked for his thoughts about the possibility of joinng his former coaches in Buffalo come late April if it were to happen. Suffice to say Nassib would be good with it.
"That would be a great situation, I love the city of Buffalo," Nassib said. "I'm a Central New York guy, that type of weather, and going to Buffalo with all those Syracuse guys there, that would be a match made in heaven."
Nassib did remind everyone in the next breath that as a draft prospect you don't get to pick your team, they pick you.
"That would be a great situation for me, but you don't choose the team you go to, so if I'm fortunate enough to get picked by them, great," he said. "But if not, I'm going to make the best of the situation with some other team."
Nassib, a native Philadelphian, is considered blue collar to the core. It'd be hard to blame him for wanting to come to Buffalo. He'd walk in the door knowing the offense better than any other player in the building, not unlike Ryan Tannehill did for the Dolphins last year after he followed his college head coach Mike Sherman from Texas A&M to Miami.

Bills meet with all six Senior Bowl QBsPosted by on January 22, 2013 – 11:00 pm
The Bills have made no secret of their interest in drafting a quarterback this year. And they got right to work on digging into the background of each of them at this week's Senior Bowl in Mobile.
In an appearance Tuesday night on The John Murphy Show at the Senior Bowl, GM Buddy Nix said the team's scouts and Head Coach Doug Marrone sat down with all six quarterbacks Monday night to get background and insight into each of them. The group includes Syracuse's Ryan Nassib, North Carolina State's Mike Glennon, and Miami of Ohio's Zac Dysert from the North squad, and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, FSU's E.J. Manuel, and Oklahoma's Landry Jones from the South.
Nix says he and his scouting staff typically meets with draft prospects each night at the Senior Bowl from 830pm to 1130pm. And it's not just the quarterbacks, they'll meet with all the different position groups.
And if that's not enough, the Bills GM says they'll conduct interviews with many of the same prospects next month at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

Marrone had different purpose in MobilePosted by on January 22, 2013 – 10:44 pm
As reported in Bills Focus on Buffalobills.com by play-by-play man John Murphy on assignment at the Senior Bowl, Buffalo head coach Doug Marrone made a pitstop in Mobile on Tuesday, but his primary purpose wasn't to get more familiar with the draft prospects on hand.
Marrone's main aim was to meet the Bills scouting staff as a group.
"It was important, the one part of the organization I hadn't met yet was the scouts," Marrone told Buffalobills.com. "I just wanted to make sure I got down here and introduce myself to them and get a feel, and for them to get to know me a little better. I wanted to tell them how I excited I am, and the coaches, to be working with them, so we had a meeting. Then coming out here, and I'm trying to get a feel for the rest of the young players that we have out here."
Marrone is already back in Buffalo after departing from Mobile Tuesday afternoon. While he recognizes the importance of the Senior Bowl, with his staff and team in a transitional stage it's more important to assess the talent that's already on his roster rather than the prospective talent that could be added in late April.
"We have a lot of work up in Buffalo," he said. "I think we're ahead in a lot of different areas, but we wanna get back up there. We finally have the full staff together.
"We're excited about the players that we have on our football team. We're looking at them and evaluating them and that's a process, that takes a while. It's not like you just watch a bunch of tape and then you go ahead. So we're doing that, but we're getting a lot of things set up—we're getting our schedule set up for minicamps and OTAs and things like that, getting our daily schedule set up, getting our playbooks, making sure they're organized and getting them together. That's what really going on right now."

Nix: Senior Bowl is key to evaluating playersPosted by on January 22, 2013 – 10:23 pm
It's a process, the road to the April NFL Draft. And this week's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama is just one step in the process.
But according to Bills General Manager Buddy Nix, the Senior Bowl is the most important event leading up to the draft, once the college football season ends. Nix was a guest Tuesday night on The John Murphy Show live from Mobile, Alabama, the site of the Senior Bowl.
"I think this is the most important," Nix said, comparing this week's events in Mobile to the other offseason events: the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, and individual "Pro Day" workouts for players.
"This is my third bowl game in two weeks. But the Senior Bowl is coached by NFL coaches, so they know what you're looking for. They make sure you see what you're looking for. And these guys are going against the best competition. It makes it easy to evaluate. The hard part is evaluating a guy against somebody that you think is inferior or much better, then it makes it tough. But all these guys are pretty equal."
Nix thoughts were echoed by Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson, who says he considers the Senior Bowl the best chance he has to impress NFL scouts.
"It's one of the three hurdles as a prep player coming into the professional ranks," Wilson says. "This is a big week for me, I want to come out here and compete, and meet a lot of these guys that I'll be playing with on the next level. I look forward to it. I'll use it as an opportunity for me, and then continue to train down at IMG and prepare for the combine."
Nix says he was happy to see the competition level ramped up during Tuesdays padded practices at the Senior Bowl.
"They put the pads on today and they went really hard. I think you can really see if a game's too big for a guy, or too fast for them, which is hard to tell sometimes doing college tape," he said.
The John Murphy Show will broadcast live from the Senior Bowl Wednesday night from 7-9pm, on the flagship station of the Bills, WGR Sports Radio 550.

South Senior Bowl Tuesday PracticePosted by on January 22, 2013 – 3:39 pm
Midway through the afternoon practice at the Senior Bowl, it's already apparent where the strength of this roster lies-the wide receiver corps. There's plenty of wideout talent on the field, working out under sun splashed skies and 55 degree temperatures. The most impressive WR so far is Georgia's Tavarres King. Through the 7 on 7 portion of practice he's made several strong catches. He seems to play bigger than his listed size (6-1, 200lbs). And King is expected to run the 40 somewhere in the 4.3-4.4 range next month at the combine.
We"ll have more on the Senior Bowl tonight when The John Murphy Show broadcasts live from Mobile, Alabama. The show airs weeknights from 7-9pm on the flagship station of the Bills WGR Sportsradio 550.

Nassib on Hackett: "Buffalo lucky to have him"Posted by on January 22, 2013 – 3:30 pm
The Bills are looking at all the quarterbacks on the Senior Bowl rosters this week in Mobile. But the one the Buffalo coaching knows best, knows them pretty well, also.
Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib is one of three quarterbacks on the North roster. And his name has been linked strongly to the Bills, ever since his Head Coach at SU, Doug Marrone, was named the Bills Head coach two weeks ago. And when Marrone brought Syracuse Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to Buffalo to handle the same job, the speculatikon instensified.
At the Senior Bowl Tuesday, Nassib had nothing but praise for his former Offensive Coordinator, and said he made him a better player every year at Syracuse.
"He did a great job of developing me," Nassib told The John Murphy Show. "He's a great developer of players, and each and every year I was with him I got better. Statistically, internally, I felt myself getting better every day I was with him. Buffalo is really lucky to have him as an O-C."
Nassib says playing for the Bills would be a great situation for him, given his familiarity with the Buffalo coaching staff, and his comfort level in Upstate New York. And he dispels the notion that at age 33, Nathaniel Hackett may be too inexpeienced to coordinate an NFL offense.
"All I can say is coaching is in his blood," Nassib told host John Murphy. "That's what his family does. His dad (Paul Hackett) has coached in college and the NFL for forty years, so he's been around football his whole life. He may only be 33-years old , but he's been a ballboy, a tape cutter, the guy in the film room, since he was ten years old. He's been around the game, he knows a lot of stuff, trust me. The good thing about that, is that he's got a great consultant with his father."
We'll have more with Ryan Nassib tonight at 7pm on The John Murphy Show live from the Senior Bowl. GM Buddy Nix joins us live as well. The John Murphy Show airs weeknights from 7pm-9pm on the flagship station of the Bills, WGR Sports Radio 550.

Dysert knows Buffalo windPosted by on January 22, 2013 – 3:06 pm
Having played his college ball in the Mid-American conference, Miami-Ohio QB Zac Dysert, who is on the North team roster at the Senior Bowl this week, knows all about the challenging weather conditions when playing in Buffalo.
Dysert was last in Buffalo on Nov. 3rd when his Red Hawks came to play the U.B. Bulls. After a slow first half the game heated up in the third quarter. Dysert led three 70-plus yard touchdown drives, capped with TD passes by Dysert as he became his school's all-time leading passer, surpassing Ben Roethlisberger.
"We definitely got off to a slow start," he said. "That's always a tough place to play. I got sick about two days before, so I wasn't feeling too great either. But I stuck it out and tried to stick in there with my team and we just couldn't come back."
Despite Dysert's best efforts on a 25-44 passing day for 242 yards and three TDs during a windy November afternoon, U.B. won the game on a last second field goal (27-24).
Dysert is eager to show this week that despite playing at a mid-major school he's got the talent to hang with some of the best in the college game.
"Just show them my skill set," he said. "Show them what I thrive in and show them that I do have some things to get better, but I'm definitely working on them. I know my weaknesses and I'm trying to improve them every day."

Nassib on Buffalo: "A match made in heaven"Posted by on January 22, 2013 – 2:19 pm
Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib is finding the question unavoidable in the first few days of Senior Bowl workouts in Mobile. How would he feel about playing for the Buffalo Bills? Doesn't it make sense for the Bills to draft him?
After Tuesday morning's workout the North team at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Nassib had a ready answer.
"It would be a match made in heaven," he told reporters.
Nassib's Head Coach at Syracuse Doug Marrone is now the Bills head man. And Marrone brought along Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and several other Orange coaches for his new Bills staff. So in classic connect-the-dots mode, most observers make the connection between the talented Syracuse quarterback and a potential landing spot in Orchard Park.
Nassib says that would work for him.
"That would be a great situation, I love the city of Buffalo," he said Tuesday morning. "I'm a Central New York guy, that type of weather, and going to Buffalo with all those Syracuse guys there, that would be a match made in heaven."
Nassib is one of three quarterbacks on the North roster this week, splitting time with North Carolina State's Mike Glennon and Miami of Ohio's Zac Dysert. The three have been rotating through the reps through the first two days of practice.
Playing for the Bills would be "a great situation for me" Nassib told The John Murphy Show. And we asked what would make it so great.
"Just like anybody would like to be with the coach that they've been with for the last three years," he answered. "That's just definitely an advantage, instead of building a relationship with somebody new. You already have a relationship with somebody else. But that's a rare situation, that usually doesn't happen. It's just kinda like a special circumstance."
We'll have more with Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib, along with Head Coach Doug Marrone and Bills GM Buddy Nix will be live, when we broadcast The John Murphy Show from the Senior Bowl tonight. The show airs from 7pm-9pm on the flagship station of the Bills, WGR Sports Radio 550.

Mayock: 3-4 QBs will go round 1Posted by on January 22, 2013 – 1:31 pm
Just days after ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper chose not to put a single quarterback in his initial first-round mock draft, NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock had a much different opinion.
Mayock during NFL Network's Senior Bowl coverage said he expects as many as four signal callers to come off the board in round one come last April.
"It's early in this entire process," Mayock said. "Everyone says there's no Andrew Luck, there's no Robert Griffin III. … I guarantee you by the time we get to April, there will be three to four quarterbacks taken in the first round, and most of them are coming out of this game."
Mayock made reference to four of the QBs participating at the Senior Bowl this week, including N.C. State's Mike Glennon and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib.

text: This week, I voted to end the de facto moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration in the United States and against higher taxes on U.S. production that would result in even higher gas prices at the pump. America needs a plan to expand domestic energy production of oil and gas, along with renewable energy sources and incentives for conservation. I also urged the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to give final sign-off on the international Keystone XL pipeline, which would go from Alberta, in Western Canada, to Texas. The Keystone XL pipeline was approved more than a year ago by the Canadian National Energy Board. The pipeline has received significant environmental review by both the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Energy. Still, there's pressure from special interests for another review in order to stall the project. That strategy doesn't do consumers in the United States any good. In fact, whether or not the United States approves the project, the oil will be produced in Canada, and if it doesn't come to the United States, it's likely to go to China, according to energy experts. The Keystone XL pipeline project is something the administration can and should be doing immediately to increase the supply of energy and thereby reduce prices at the pump for consumers. This pipeline would provide 830,000 barrels of crude oil a day and help to beef up domestic oil supplies in the United States and reduce dependence on less reliable foreign sources, including Venezuela, Libya or members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

|It appears that the storm has yet to pass, Mr. Reese.
— Finch
"Provenance" is the 14th episode of season 3, and the 59th produced hour of Person of Interest. It originally aired on February 4, 2014.
Reese rejoins Finch in New York, but when the team receives the number of a highly skilled antiquities thief, a surprising turn of events finds them planning an elaborate heist which could land them all in jail.
Origin of the TitleEdit
Provenance, is a commonly used term in the fine arts trade which refers to the artist, place of origin, history, and chain of custody or ownership of a work of artistic significance or of great value. Documented provenance is key to determining the authenticity and value of a piece. It often becomes critical to the determination of ownership of important works of art, particularly those that were stolen or were looted during events such as World War II.
Main Plot PointsEdit
Episode NotesEdit
- The target of the theft is The Gutenberg Bible. The Gutenberg Bible is the first book in the western world printed with moveable type. Although the name suggests there is only one copy, there are actually 42 known copies, only 21 of which are complete. Most are held in museums, libraries and at scholarly institutions worldwide, including complete copies at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York and at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California.
- At the reception, Finch admires a codex on display. A codex is an early form of book, often illuminated, with vellum or parchment pages accordion-folded and stitched, making it possible to lay the book out at one long document when the stitching is removed.
- The diversionary theft at the event was of a painting by Cézanne. Paul Cézanne was a French post-impressionist painter, known for his paintings of ordinary French life and people. He is regarded by some as the father of contemporary art.
- Kelli meets Cyril at a bar called "The Purloined Letter", which draws its name from a short story by Edgar Allen Poe.
- Cyril addresses Lin as "miláčku," which means "sweetheart" in Czech.
- Before becoming a thief, Kelli was an Olympic gymnast. During the 2000, 2004 and 2008, the Chinese gymnastics teams came under scrutiny for their use of obviously underage (under 16 years of age) girls on the team. The issue came to a head at the 2008 Beijing games. Although the International Olympic Organizing Committee and the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique investigated, and the Chinese team was exonerated, questions about the girls' ages continue to arise, largely surrounding use of falsified birth and other records used to establish the girls' ages and the admission by two members of the 2000 team that they had competed while only 14 years of age.
- Agent Alain Bouchard, who follows Kelli throughout the episode, is an Interpol agent. Interpol is a non-governmental, politically neutral organization coordinating international policing, based in Lyon, France. Its work includes policing terrorism, human trafficking, crimes against humanity, organized crime, trafficking in illicit art and illicit drugs, and more. Its role is to assure mutual cooperation among policing agencies while operating within the laws of the individual countries they serve. Interpol agents cannot make arrests, but rather serve to coordinate policing among agencies, often in different countries.
Production NotesEdit
- This episode concludes the story arc that follows Carter's death. Reese has returned to the team, which has rebuilt itself without her.
Bloopers and Continuity ErrorsEdit
- Shaw kicks off her shoes to chase the art thief as she flees the museum. However, when she tries to reenter the museum she is wearing her shoes.
- "Take California" by Propellerheads (During Finch's adventures in 3D printing)
- "Battleflag" by Lo Fidelity Allstars (During the break-in when Shaw and Kelli Lin steal the Gutenberg bible.)
- The news article about the Gutenberg Bible appears in the New York Journal, the magazine where Maxine Angelis works.
- According to Kelly's computer, the event at the museum takes place on January 7, 2014.
- During the party, Shaw sees a man choking on a shrimp puff and slaps him hard on the back to force it out. Slapping a choking victim on the back is no longer recommended as it can force the blockage further into the throat. Initiating the Heimlich maneuver offers a better chance to force the blockage out.
- One of the security guards says, "There's a Five-O at the gate", when Fusco arrived to pick up Reese. The term "Five-O" refers to the 1968 CBS police drama Hawaii Five-O which depicted an elite police unit in Hawaii, the 50th state. A remake of the show currently runs on CBS.
- One of the tenants in Kelli's apartment building is "L. O'Connor", a possible wink at Person of Interest writer Lucas O'Connor.
- Possible reference to a previous episode: The man Shaw saved from choking is Warren Zimm, "a big-time investment banker". In "Risk", Reese protected a young investment banker named Adam Saunders who worked for a big investment bank Baylor Zimm.
- "I'm a sucker for watered down booze and a mini quiche." (Shaw)
- "I can field strip a .45 in the dark, Finch. I think I can handle a bow tie." (Reese)
- "Hate to interrupt this mildly erotic moment, gents, but the invitation advises us not to be late." (Shaw, to Finch and Reese)
- "Finch, there's no sign of danger in here, not counting the shrimp puffs." (Shaw)
- "Whoa, miss, it's 1 a.m. What can I do to make you stop talking?" (Uniform, to Shaw)
- "Oh, don't forget to give each finger a good lick before scanning them" (Finch, to Shaw)

41 people charged in dead deer insurance scam
Updated On: May 30 2014 10:20:59 AM CDT
Forty-one people are facing charges in an elaborate insurance fraud scheme that used dead deer to fake car accidents.
Prosecutors in Philadelphia say that Ronald Galati Sr. ran a $5 million scam out of his auto body shop, reports The Associated Press.
Galati allegedly coached customers to claim they'd struck a deer rather than a car. That way, insurance companies would consider them "no fault" accidents and pay the claims without raising the customers' premiums.
Deer blood, carcasses and fur were found in the back of his shop to use as props.
Prosecutors say that Galati's wife, son and daughter, several insurance adjusters, tow truck drivers, a city official and a police officer were also charged.

CORNING, N.Y. -- The Salvation Army in Corning is now facing some challenges on the heels of a dismal Red Kettle campaign last holiday season.
The Salvation Army finished $70,000 short of their $233,000 goal. The gap forced them to lay off one full time employee.
Now, officials are looking at options to bounce back this year.
"First of all, we're looking at our budget to see where we can actually cut without hurting the people in our community, that is very important to us, number one. And then number two, we're going to be doing a little bit more fundraising through this corps itself," said Cpt. John Merchant, Corning Salvation Army.

For more than two decades, Glock has been recognized as a premier provider of service-size and self-defense, polymer-framed semi-automatics. The company enjoys a world-wide reputation for manufacturing reliable, durable and easy-to-operate pistols. For the most part, Glock has focused on developing handguns primarily for military and law enforcement use. But finally, after years of being hounded by operators and civilians alike, the company has released its first pocket pistol to the American market. It's a single-stack .380 ACP called the G42.
Shrinking an existing pistol platform into a pocket pistol is no mean feat of engineering. Many manufacturers don't even try. Instead, they often design a whole new gun (or borrow someone else's design). So it is very interesting to see how the features of the G42 have been compressed and modified, and how much of the pistol remains the same as other Glock models. The G42 is not going to be marketed as a Gen4 product. However, examining it side-by-side with examples of Gen3 and Gen4 pistols confirmed that this new gun takes its feature cues from the latest generation.
G42 Features
The slide is constructed of gas-nitrate-treated steel with a matte-black finish. The 3.25-inch barrel contains hexagonal rifling, which means it should be fired with jacketed ammunition. The sights consist of the factory standard polymer white-dot front, white-bracket rear. Internally, the pistol employs the same striker, short-recoil operated, locked-breech barrel and Safe-Action trigger system as its larger compatriots. One notable change to the interior is an enlarged firing pin safety plunger with an irregular shape and a beveled surface. The recoil assembly is of the Gen4 variety with dual recoil springs, a polymer guide rod and steel supports in key locations.
The polymer frame exhibits a mix of unique and familiar features. The slide catch, magazine release and take-down lever are in their expected locations and are actually the same size and shape as those found on the Gen4 pistols. However, the frame only has one pin instead of two. The grip frame has a Gen1-style straight frontstrap, with the backstrap featuring the usual palm swell. All four sides of the grip are treated with what could best be described as a light version of the Rough Texture grip treatment. It consists of the same small, raised, blunted pyramids but with a less aggressive surface.
The grip has a small, but distinctive, downward-curving beavertail to protect the shooter's hand from the slide. The backstrap extends down below the mouth of the magazine well, nearly flush with the flat base of the drop-free, fully metal lined, six-round, single-stack magazines. This extension makes the grip a little longer, a bit more rounded and it protects the shooter's palm from being nibbled by the movement of the magazine base during recoil.
One of the best choices the company made with the G42 was to retain the familiar trigger guard and trigger dimensions of its larger pistols. Although the trigger guard is narrower from side to side, the length, shape, finger rest and size of the trigger opening remain the same. The trigger itself is the same size and shape as the smooth-faced triggers used on the Gen4 pistols, with the same 0.49-inch travel distance. As a result, the trigger feels perfectly familiar to those who already use Glock pistols. Proof marks on the slide, barrel and frame indicate that the G42 is made at Glock's Smyrna, Ga., facility right here in the United States.
At the Range
The specifications for this pistol indicate that it's supposed to leave the factory with a 5.56-pound trigger. A digital trigger gauge showed that although the trigger is smooth, it cycles with 7 pounds, 3 ounces of trigger pull. Is the trigger heavier than the standard weight because it needs to be broken in, because it's one of the first samples off of the production line or did Glock install a heavier trigger connector than the one listed in the specification? Whatever the reason, the trigger was good, but not quite as good as it could be.
The G42 was test fired with as many.380 ammunition brands that could be acquired. When enough of a particular load was available to fire five, five-shot groups, it was included in the accuracy testing. Throughout the entire test, the pistol did not experience any of the traditional ammunition failures that can occur with semi-auto pistols, such as failures to feed, stove-piped cases or un-ejected cases lodged in the chamber.
The only two events that could be noted as malfunctions occurred when firing a high-velocity, 95-grain bullet load from DoubleTap Ammunition. Operating at velocities over 1,000 fps in pocket .380s, compared to around 880 fps with typical loads, this round caused the slide to lock open twice (as if the magazine was empty) when there were still rounds left to fire. In both cases, the chamber was clear and the next round in the magazine chambered when the slide was retracted and allowed to fall forward. This is the first time I've had a semi-auto pistol go into slide lock during a test fire. But since the G42 did not lock open with any other load, it seems that the increased pressure produced by this particular round was the source of the problem.
One of the reasons the double-stack Glock subcompacts are popular is because they are capable of producing downrange accuracy on par with the Glock Compact and Standard size pistols. Field tests of the Gen4 G30S (.45 ACP), G29 (10 mm), and the G33 (.357 Sig), all of which yield energetic levels of felt recoil, produced group averages hovering right around 3 inches in size when firing the pistols from a bench rest into targets placed at 25 yards.
The G42 did not demonstrate the same level of accuracy as the double-stack models, which was not wholly unexpected. Instead, the accuracy was in line with other pistols of the same size and caliber, such as the Ruger LC380 and the Taurus PT638 PRO SA. Using targets set at 7 yards, the G42 produced group averages ranging around 1.5 to 2 inches in size. This is a solid level of defensive accuracy for an easy to carry, close-range defensive tool, which is how the G42 is intended to be used.
Parting Thoughts
But what about those who are looking for a pocket pistol to use for concealed carry yet are unfamiliar with Glocks? The G42 is soft shooting, reliable and demonstrates a level of defensive accuracy as good (or better) as other semi-autos in its class. This is one of only a few pocket pistols I would feel comfortable recommending to new, small-framed or recoil-sensitive shooters. I like it so well that I'm planning to inquire if the sample provided for this test is available to purchase. I can't give it a higher recommendation than that.

For the third year in a row, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire student chapter of the American Marketing Association is the recipient of the AMA Silver Chapter Award. The UW-Eau Claire chapter received the award at the 2012 American Marketing Association International Collegiate Conference held March 22-24 in New Orleans, LA.
The Silver Chapter Award recognizes professional development, community service, fundraising, communications, chapter operations, and membership activities. Only six chapters out of all 340 AMA student chapters in North American are presented with the award each year.
"This award is especially meaningful to us because it represents a chapter-wide commitment on the part of our board and members," said Dr. Scott Swanson, associate professor of marketing and faculty advisor for the UW-Eau Claire group. "Everyone worked hard this year and their efforts were rewarded."
"Our goal was to place in the top 10 chapters overall and we did it," said Christina Kubitschek, UW-Eau Claire AMA president. "I am so proud of our members," she continued.
In addition to the Silver Chapter Award, the UW-Eau Claire chapter captured several other awards at the 2012 conference.
The UW-Eau Claire case team took second place in the Collegiate Case Competition which required students to develop and present an integrated marketing communication plan for Prepare, Pearson Learning Solutions' new service concept. UW-Eau Claire was one of 10 finalists invited to present at the competition after submitting their marketing plan last fall. Members of the UW-Eau Claire case team were Kacie Besser (Jr. - Sauk Rapids, MN), Patrick Connelly (Jr. - Edina, MN), Mitchel Lang (Jr. - Le Center, MN), Autum Miller (Sr., Appleton, WI) and Kaitlin Nix (Jr. - Osseo, WI).
Christina Kubitschek (Sr. - Shoreview, MN) placed 5th in the Northwestern Mutual Sales Competition. Fifty students from across North America competed in the event. Karen Dahl (Jr. - Appleton, WI) was Kubitschek's buyer for the 10 minute role play.
UW-Eau Claire AMA also obtained awards in the following areas: membership recruitment campaign, marketing week activities, AMA SavesLives Facebook activity, and AMA SavesLives video competition.
AMA is a student-run professional business organization that offers students opportunities to learn essential skills and leadership to prepare for a future in business. For more information about AMA contact Christina Kubitschek, UW-Eau Claire AMA president, at email@example.com or visit the AMA website at www.uwec.edu/ama. Dr. Scott Swanson, Department of Management and Marketing, is the adviser for the group.

- Prep:
- 15 min
- Inactive:
- 30 min
- Cook:
- 3 hr 15 min
- Yield:
- 8 to 10 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- One 8 to 10-pound bone-in, smoked, fully-cooked ham, butt or shank portion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1/3 cup brandy
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons mixed colored peppercorns, cracked
Let the ham sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham if needed. Score the ham through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. Place the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the pan. Roast the ham until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours or 15 minutes per pound.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the brandy. Return to the heat and continue to cook until the brandy reduces by about half. Add the honey and peppercorns; continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
Remove the ham from the oven when it has reached 130 degrees F internally. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Spoon or brush some of the glaze all over the ham. Add water as needed to the bottom of the pan. Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze, until well-lacquered and slightly crispy on the edges, about 45 minutes more.
