10 Reasons Why 2015 Will Be A Banner Year For Invoice Discounting
Spend Matters - Free Research Download
Let's talk about receivables financing that isn't buyer-led, aka, a low 10-digit opportunity of a pie to be split by buyers and suppliers. A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about some real money. And where there's money to be made, you will see money coming in (e.g., from private equity players) to get a sweet slice of that pie. This paper gives 10 reasons around the how and why, so download today.
50 Shades of Pay: Working Capital Optimization Using Spend Analysis and Payment Clocks
Spend Matters - Free Research Download
If you haven't been reading Pierre Mitchell's "50 Shades of Pay" content, then you've been missing out. Over the next few months, we'll be pulling bits and pieces of especially important content from the series from behind the paywall and making them available for general download. This paper focuses on setting your "payment clock" - that's right - the 'perfect order' goes well beyond fulfilling the right quantities, on time, with the right invoice information. Read on for more!
Spend Analytics, Payment Analytics: The Gateway to Gold in Them Thar Hills
Traditional approaches to spend analytics go deep by focusing on cost and price. Yet by going so deep – especially with more advanced queries – procurement might be missing out on a potentially bigger, easier and more consistent prize that is easier to obtain and keeps "paying back" versus simply driving one-time savings opportunities. Might there be potentially better (or at least supplementary) information sets to start with that focus more on the AP and treasury side of the P2P house rather than procurement alone? Read this paper to find out!more ▸
Procurement is from Mars and Finance is from Jupiter: How to Align Planets
Spend Matters - Free Research Download
There is no Venus here (that's a paper for another day on working with Marketing). Mars might be the god of war and mighty in his own right – ready to battle any time with a combative supplier or recalcitrant internal stakeholder. But Jupiter is the king of gods: large, distant, cold, foreboding. These gods might seem similar, and in the business world, Procurement and Finance should in theory be highly aligned and focused on cost management, risk mitigation, quantitative analysis, and other areas. But how do you make it work, sans self-help book from the early 1990's? That's where we step in.
Decoupling Creative and Production Procurement – Handle with Care!
Spend Matters - Free Research Download
This short paper addresses an important issue for buyers of marketing services and of course budget holders in the marketing area. We look at the idea of 'de-coupling' spend – the separation of different elements within the marketing process in terms of commercial management, so (for instance), looking to split the procurement of creative and production activities. What are the key factors to consider when deciding how to structure marketing services supply chains? Read about the opportunities – and risks – here.
How to Justify Spend Analysis to Finance / IT When There's No Clear ROI
Spend Matters PRO Only - Premium Research Download
Analytics are all the rage. And spend analysis is Procurement 101. So, getting some reasonable investment shouldn't be a problem, right? Wrong. The problem with analytics is that the identified value is all "option value." You don't know how much value opportunity you will uncover with the analytics until you actually perform them (and implement the identified opportunities)! This article, which previously appeared on Spend Matters PRO, gives you ten ways to overcome this Catch-22 problem.
Why Procurement Should Control Payments
Spend Matters PRO Only - Premium Research Download
Learn ten reasons procurement shouldn't forget the second "P" in "P2P" (if you did forget, it stands for "pay"). Payment matters much more than most folks in procurement think. By taking control of the area, we can do an end-run around the administration hassles and supplier headaches that poorly-run A/P functions create. And that's just one reason for procurement to get involved in payment strategy and execution - download this paper for the other nine!
Ask the Expert: B2B Commerce Networks Enter the Supply Chain Finance Space
Spend Matters Premium Content - Ask the Expert Video Replay
In the last few months, there have been several announcements that companies are attempting to bridge the financing/banking and eProcurement, e-invoicing, purchase-to-pay, and supplier network worlds – Mastercard/Basware, Tungsten/OB10, Tradeshift/CapitalAid, Ariba/Discover, and Taulia with Citibank to name a few. These networks think they're onto something big. What are these partnerships thinking, and how will they impact the traditional trade product sets – bank lines, factoring, invoice discounting, etc.? David Gustin of Trade Financing Matters tackles all this (and much more) on this session.
Ask the Expert – The Great P2P Debate
Spend Matters Premium Content - Ask the Expert Video Replay
Jason Busch thinks eProcurement and e-invoicing should have been breezy acquaintances rather than cozy bedfellows. Pierre Mitchell thinks he "must have visited Colorado recently..." and he "had to throw down the challenge and call bulls#*t." Spend Matters Plus and Spend Matters PRO members get a front row seat to watch the replay of this raucous debate.

Ford CEO: Luxury Market Has Room For Lincoln
Mulally: We're not in a hurry. The dealers are in place. We make a reasonable return on the Lincoln vehicles. It's not like anybody's panicking.
AP: Ford recalled the Escape four times after it went on sale for various safety issues. The Lincoln launches will have to be flawless. How do you ensure that?
Mulally: I would say that your comment is absolutely right. It has to be, across Ford and Lincoln. Ford is so excited on one hand. You know how many years these companies have been declining. We've turned that corner. We were the first ones to turn it. We're growing now. The growth is spectacular, here and around the world. So now we're turning the corner, adding production, adding third shifts, second shifts, and last June we weren't able to keep up with the demand. And then we have all these launches, because we made a commitment that we are going to have the best-in-class quality, fuel efficiency and safety. So every time we don't, then we're going to stop just like we did. We'll come pick them up, we'll do whatever it takes. We'll get it right for you right away. I think the most important thing is our commitment to quality. But it's an exhilarating time.
AP: You just changed Lincoln's name to the Lincoln Motor Co. and began a new ad campaign. What impact are you seeing?Farley: More important to me than how is it affecting demand for Lincoln vehicles is that more and more people are talking about Lincoln. We're getting more online discussion. A lot more people are saying, "Lincoln. What is that? Who are they? What are they doing?" That is good. That was very much part of the initiative of the Lincoln Motor Co. When I talk to Gucci and Burberry, brands that were very big in the '70s and then recommitted themselves, they all said the same thing to me: "Jim, make sure that you start a conversation around Lincoln." And that's part of our expectation for the Super Bowl.

The Board of Directors of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery (ISMICS) has created an award for the Best Manuscript from the annual meeting submitted to Innovations for publication. The first award for the 2012 meeting was presented at the 2013 meeting in Prague, Czech Republic. For this award, a total of 48 manuscripts were submitted for consideration. Of this group, 28 original articles, case reports, and How-To-Do-It articles made it through the review and revision process and were accepted for publication. Nine of these manuscripts were selected as finalists. These nine manuscripts are listed below:
These nine manuscripts were all excellent, and all of the authors should be proud of their work. They are an excellent reflection of both the innovation and the diversity that makes ISMICS such a vibrant and unique society in our specialty. The nine contributions came from six different countries and covered the spectrum of minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery from transcatheter valve replacement to off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting to robotically assisted procedures, atrial fibrillation, and new mechanical assist devices.
After lengthy consideration, the Innovations award for the Best Manuscript from the 2012 annual meeting went to Michael Chu and his colleagues from the University Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada, for their article titled "Augmented Reality Image Guidance Improves Navigation for Beating Heart Mitral Valve Repair."
Our sincere congratulations go out to the authors of the Best Manuscript. We would like to take this opportunity to announce that the Board of Directors has now decided to add two Innovations awards for best manuscript submitted from the annual meeting—a $2000 award will be given to the best manuscript submitted before the meeting and a $1000 award will be given to the best manuscript submitted after the meeting before July 12. We have already received 27 for this competition and would like to thank the members of ISMICS for their participation and the confidence in our journal.

Will skins show up on other peoples screen? I doubt it since the files are locally installed.

She deregulated industry, brought the unions to their knees, privatized state-owned enterprises, waged war to defend the Falkland Islands, and teamed up with Ronald Reagan to win the Cold War. Her courage was remarkable and her character larger than life. She was a woman who brooked no fools, and her tongue could be rapier sharp.

Amid all this calculator-punching, Bob Dollar doubts that the spiritual essence of Dade Corners is going to survive. "They're going to be more bottom-line minded: Maximize every dollar," he predicts. "They were questioning me why employees had health insurance. They said, 'You don't typically see that in a gas station.' And I said, 'Well, we aren't just a gas station.'
"We are a family-oriented place," he reminisces, not yet shifting out of the present tense. "A homey type of place."
A place, you might say, where you can buy parts for a truck's bumper, a hunter's safety vest, and a mail box in the shape of a bass fish. A place where the bait man uses words like "loci" and "matrix." A place where you can ask for free coffee and probably even get it.

|Overview - 2 Timothy 1
|Paul's love to Timothy, and the unfeigned faith which was in Timothy himself, his mother, and grandmother.

The Impact of the Nation's Most Widely Used Insecticides on Birds American Bird Conservancy, March 2013
Eight Great Reasons to Love the New Migratory Bird Stamp (Link to the Cornell Blog of Ornithology)
Conservation Federation of Missouri, Conservation Wildlife, July 2013, Vol. 74, No. 4 Celebration of Migratory Bird Day, May 13, 2013 (Go to page 14)
Lonesome Chuck (Is No Longer Lonesome)
News Briefs:
1. Obama Administration Gives Wind Farms a Pass on Eagle Deaths. An Associated Press investigation has found there is a lack of enforcement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of existing federal laws protecting eagles and migratory birds. For more information: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/ap-impact-wind-farms-get-pass-eagle-deaths
2. Conservation Groups Call for Increased Protections for Rapidly Declining Seabird. Over 100 conservation and scientific organizations are calling on the Obama administration to provide new protective measures for the Marbled Murrelet, a federally listed bird species whose population is rapidly declining. A letter to the President from the groups asserts that the "accelerated decline of this species is an indication that current protections for its old-growth forest habitat need to be augmented, benefitting clean air, clean water, wild salmon runs, carbon sequestration, and other ecosystem services uniquely provided by these irreplaceable forests."
A recent peer-reviewed study by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S.D.A. Forest Service found that the Marbled Murrelet's population in California, Oregon, and Washington State had declined by 29 percent over the last decade. This trend is consistent with the government's 2009 five-year status review of the species, which concluded the population could be extinct outside of the Puget Sound area within 100 years.
"More needs to be done. These findings indicate that current efforts to eliminate threats and protect habitat are not enough to bring this species back," said Steve Holmer, senior policy advisor for American Bird Conservancy, a leading bird conservation group. "Additional habitat protection, acquisition of new forest reserves, and improved recreation management offer hope for its eventual recovery."
Proposed changes to the Northwest Forest Plan have also left the species' habitat more vulnerable to disturbance. The final 2012 Northern Spotted Owl critical habitat rule encourages logging in owl-critical habitat, which, in part, overlaps with that of the murrelet. Agency analysis included in the owl rule's draft environmental assessment indicates that such management practices would likely be harmful to the Marbled Murrelet. Logging—both clearcutting and commercial thinning—increases fragmentation, opening the forests to nest predators such as crows, ravens, and jays.
3. Sea-Level Rise Forecasted in New Study Poses Grave Threat to Many Nesting Birds at Pacific Islands. Dynamic modeling of sea-level rise, which takes storm wind and wave action into account, paints a much graver picture for birds at some low-lying Pacific islands under climate-change scenarios than the so-called passive models used in earlier research, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report.
A team led by research oceanographer Curt Storlazzi of the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center compared passive "bathtub" inundation models (which analyze rising sea levels without considering effects of wave action and storm wind) with dynamic models for two of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. The team studied Midway, a classic atoll with islands on the shallow (2–8 meters or 6–26 feet deep) atoll rim and a deep, central lagoon, and Laysan, which is higher, with a 20–30 meter (65–98 feet) deep rim and an island in the center of the atoll.
Together, the two locations exhibit landforms and coastal features common to many Pacific islands. Managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, they are also among the world's most important seabird nesting sites, as well as being home to the endangered Laysan Duck, Laysan Finch, and a recently established population of Millerbirds.
"Passive 'bathtub' inundation models typically used to forecast sea-level rise impacts suggest that most of the low-lying atolls in the Pacific Islands will still be above sea level for the next 50-150 years. By taking wave-driven processes into account, we forecast that many of the atolls will be inundated, contaminating freshwater supplies and thus making the islands uninhabitable by humans, much sooner," Storlazzi said. See http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=3558 for more details.
4. Birds, Bees, and Aquatic Life Threatened by Gross Underestimate of Toxicity of World's Most Widely Used Pesticide New Report Charges EPA Ignored Staff Warnings, Approved Widespread Use of Dangerous Pesticides
(Washington, D.C. March 19, 2013) As part of a study on impacts from the world's most widely used class of insecticides, nicotine-like chemicals called neonicotinoids, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has called for a ban on their use as seed treatments and for the suspension of all applications pending an independent review of the products' effects on birds, terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates, and other wildlife.

Well there are several "test" kits going out where the builders have agreed to try the micro retracts - as well as show the conversion of other fan units. As soon as they do it will be posted on the webpage listed in the construction manual.
|Nov 28, 2002, 04:20 PM
Dont forget that other fans may work, but bigger motors will yield even more weight. This design was created to be as light as possible, hence, EDF-50's, AAA batteries, etc. If I could be polite enough to suggest `try her as she is' then go for broke, not go for broke, then ask why? What do I know? Give her a try and hope it works!
|Nov 28, 2002, 04:23 PM
LOL - yeah agree Glenn - all the kits for experimentation went out free of charge - I don't want someone to pay for a kit, go through the process of adding and experimenting, and then be unhappy. Hopefully it will work but if not I guess we'll write it off to inovation!
|Nov 28, 2002, 07:17 PM
Fanman, how much do the GWS retracts weigh for a trike setup? Any idea what model weight they could handle? Thanks, Stu.
|Nov 28, 2002, 07:39 PM
IMO, the above setup could handle a plane weight of 18oz.
I havent tried (or recently observed) using 1 retract servo to operate 3 retracts. If that can be done, the above weight could be achieved, otherwise a more realistic weight would be more like 1.8 to 2.2oz........
ONE more thing, on several of my designs, I find it very helpful to throw all the flight gear (fans,batts,servos,etc) on the scale, then design the wingspan (area) and overall size, based on whats needed to fly it

Can a regular Hitec 55 servo operate the retracts or do you need something with more torque? Thanks.

Standard servos having on the order of 80 - 90 degrees, retract servos closer to 180.

Is it not possible to increase the throw of a HS55 by increasing the end points and max drive limit on your radio? Not sure you will get 180 degrees, but should give enough. Or use a longer arm on the servo, can't see that high torque is needed for the GWS units.
|Nov 29, 2002, 09:19 AM
I'm using a HS60, I assume a HS55 would work fine if the published specs are correct (the 60 and 55 are nearly the same). I use less the 100% throw and the larger of the provided arms. The important consideration is to have a straight shot at the mechanism, and no dog legs at the control arm. If you want check out the parkflier forum, there is a bunch of stuff (including my own dedicated to GWS retracts on a foamie gws zero) about these retracts. The big problem is trying to get a good steerable nose gear. The CEO of GWS hinted that one is in development.

after a hard week of playing and eating it is time to get back to work.
Progress is this
fans rewired
servos rewired
battery packs built
Speed controller location picked
Tailplanes finished and covered plus test mounting OK
Top of fuselage and "burner" area of tail assy covered
Wings build, covered and ready to glue in place once the bottom of the fuselage is set up for the hatch.
Pics to follow:
Question for Fanman and DRbird;
1) do yopu have pics of your battery/ radio hatch on the bottom of the fuselage? can you describe the set up??
2) What are the throws on the tailerons that you are currenly using on your F-4s... guestimation at best of up and down throw measured from the trailing edge of the taileron.
The set up is awsome. The model is not the easiest to cover due to all the compund curves, I had to add a few "anchors" for the covereing to get it to stick and enable the ability to shring it without loosing the lines, especially in the tail assy as well as on the rudder.
The wing is prone to burning (white foam) when you try to really shrink the covering down. . . do not push it, get it on and take the wrinkles out, if you try to get a drum tight covering job you WILL burn the wings (look at my L wing timp panel if you need a illustration of what a heat gun will do to bare foam!!)
Strength issues in the rudder are asuaged once you get the covering on - it stiffens up in a hurry with the covering.

rear shot
rear end shot - looks more and more like a f4 from here!
|Dec 02, 2002, 11:37 PM
shrinking the covering over foam
watch the temp of the heat gun as you shrink up the covereing, this is not a sheeted wing and you will burn the foam if you are not very careful . . check out the joint between the main wing panel and the tip panel - this is what not to do!
|Dec 02, 2002, 11:40 PM
nose shot
Ok, OK
I have heard from a few already about how it looks from the front so - - "heayaa"
PS, laser duct work is holding up great with the heat over the heat gun - better than expected . . I tried to torch it but was unsucessful!!
|Dec 02, 2002, 11:47 PM
battery hatch
This is where I am planning to mount the battery/radio access hatch. Between the F3 and F2 formers, 1/32 AAA balsa laid across the area then cut out to provice a triangle shaped cut out access area on either side of the center of F4 former. Doors will open toward the center of the fuselage and will be hinged with aileron tape and stuck closed in flight via the same method - -
Drbird and fanman . . .will it work or have I overengineered the thing??

The Prince George's County Sheriff's Office (PGSO), officially the Office of the Sheriff, Prince George's County, provides law enforcement services in Prince George's County, Maryland in the United States. Its headquarters is located in Upper Marlboro. The sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of Prince George's County and is elected every four years. There are no term limits for the sheriff.[2]
Created in 1696, the traditional duties of the sheriff are keeper of the public peace and the enforcement arm of the county court, analogous to the U.S. Marshals Service. The PGSO has a relatively long history. The PGSO was involved with events that occurred during the burning of Washington and affected the writing of the "The Star-Spangled Banner". Prior to 1931, the PGSO was the sole law enforcement organization within the county.[citation needed]
Today, the duties of the sheriff include service of court-ordered warrants, writs, protective orders, and other injunctions. The Domestic Violence Unit has expanded its role in the county to include responding to calls for service that are domestic-related. The creation of the School Resource Deputy division has placed a deputy sheriff at all of the local high schools, replacing the County Police. All other law enforcement services of the county are provided by multiple agencies but mostly left to the separate Prince George's County Police Department (PGPD), though some responsibilities are shared by both agencies. The PGSO, like most other county-level law enforcement agencies in the United States, is a progressive agency with an array of services in tom a Specialized Services Team dealing with high-risk arrest warrants and barricade situations to community services aiding the county's citizens in safety education.

The sheriff is the chief law enforcement official of Prince George's County per Maryland common law.[3] All deputy sheriffs are certified, sworn law enforcement officials with full power of arrest. All sworn members of the sheriff's office are agents of the U.S. state of Maryland and thus have authority throughout the entire state, although direct jurisdiction is limited to the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Maryland[4] (which includes: Calvert County, Charles County, Prince George's County, and St. Mary's County).[5]
The Sheriff's Office was founded April 22, 1696. The governor of Maryland, Sir Francis Nicholson, appointed Thomas Greenfield as the first sheriff. The St. Paul's Church in Charlestown held the headquarters for the Sheriff's Office until the 1720s when it was relocated to the town of Upper Marlboro. At the time of the 18th Century, there was no set salary for the sheriff, but he was often paid in tobacco.[citation needed]
During the War of 1812, (1812-1815), an incident occurred involving the Prince George's County Jail, when local resident Dr. William Beanes, (1775-1824) captured several marauding British Army deserters from the passing army of General Robert Ross (British Army officer)|General Robert Ross (1766-1814) and Vice Admiral, Sir George Cockburn, (1772-1853), and held them in the County Jail, after he had treated several wounded "Redcoat" soldiers in their march on to Washington and the disastrous Battle of Bladensburg on the Eastern Branch stream of the Anacostia River in August 1814. Later he was arrested along with several others including Robert Bowie, former 11th Governor of Maryland (1803-1806, 1811-1812) by retreating British cavalry on orders from Ross who had stayed in his home as headquarters. Later Francis Scott Key (1779-1843), a Georgetown and Frederick lawyer with Col. John S. Skinner, U.S. Prisoner-of-War and Parole Agent went to Baltimore secured a small sailing ship, the "Minden" and sailed down the Patapsco River and the Chesapeake Bay to find the British Royal Navy fleet after leaving the Patuxent River, beating up the Bay from their base on Tangier Island, Virginia heading for their attack on the hated "nest of pirates" - Baltimore. After being received and negotiating with General Ross, Admiral Cockburn and their superior, Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, (1758-1832), and showing him some letters written by captured British wounded soldiers testifying to the fair treatment Beanes had given them and tended to them, they agreed to free him but that would be held up until they could celebrate after the Burning of Baltimore following their attack on Fort McHenry and landing troops to the east at North Point. Well, the famous story has been told, how the general was killed prior to the skirmishing at the Battle of North Point on September 12, how the advancing British under successor, Colonel Arthur Brooke led the British regiments to face the 20,000 drafted and volunteer citizens and militia under the command of Major General Samuel Smith, (1752-1839), of the Maryland Militia on the eastern heights of "Loudenschlager's Hill" (later known as "Hampstead Hill" in modern Patterson Park, between Highlandtown and Canton neighborhoods) whose dug-in fortifications and dragged cannon were so numerous that the "Redcoats" halted in their tracks and decided to await the shelling of the fort which guarded the entrances to the Harbor to pass into the inner port and the waterfront of Fells Point. Following the failure of the fort to fall to two days of "the rockets' red glare and the bombs bursting in air" and their flanking troop-loaded barge attack around the west end but driven back by alert artillery seamen at Forts Covington and Babcock in a driving night rainstorm, the British fleet turned about and set sail. Key and his companions Beanes and Skinner who were startled, amazed and emotionally overcome to see a huge 30 by 42 foot banner being raised in the light of the early morning with the distant booming of the morning's gun salute, knew that the fort and the city had held. When they landed at "The Basin" (modern "Inner Harbor") and Key finished up his draft of a new poem "The Defence of Fort McHenry" at the Indian Queen Hotel at West Baltimore and Hanover Streets, (later to be set to music in a few days) and sung lustily through the city, performed on the stage at the famed Holliday Street Theatre, and then soon throughout the state and soon the nation as "The Star Spangled Banner".
The headquarters for the Sheriff's Office was in the county seat of Upper Marlboro until 2000, when Sheriff Alonzo D. "Al" Black II, moved it to the nearby town of Largo where it remained until August 2008. His successor, Sheriff Michael A. Jackson returned the office headquarters to Upper Marlboro. He was succeeded by Sheriff Melvin C. High in 2010.[6]
Line of duty deaths[edit]
There have been two deputy sheriffs killed in the line of duty, both in August 2002.
|Sergeant James Victor "Jim" Arnaud
|Deputy First Class Elizabeth "Liz" Licera Magruder
1810s: War of 1812[edit]
During the War of 1812, at the time of the Burning of Washington, D.C., the sheriff's office became involved in an occurrence that led to the writing of the American national anthem. As the British Army marched from Washington they passed through Prince George's County. Because the residents had cooperated with the British, the commander ensured that minimal damage was inflicted upon the local residents and their property. After the Battle of Bladensburg, the British Army returned to the area of Upper Marlboro. However, this time some of the British soldiers looted local farms. A sheriff's posse subsequently arrested the offending soldiers and placed them in the county jail. Upon learning about the arrest of his soldiers, the British commander ordered the arrest of the sheriff and the posse in turn. One of the posse members was Dr. William Beam. Beam was ultimately arrested and held for ransom on a British warship. Beam's brother-in-law, Francis Scott Key, went to Baltimore Harbor in search of him. He witnessed the British fleet under attack which was the inspiration of "The Star-Spangled Banner".[7]
1929: Sheriff-Police split[edit]
In 1929, due to an increase in population and crime, Prince George's County created a separate police department. Prior to this time, laws allowed detectives to be used on loan from the Baltimore City Police Department. The newly created police department allowed the Sheriff's Office to focus its manpower on enforcing orders of the court.[7]
2002: Deputies killed in the line of duty[edit]
On the night of August 29, 2002, Corporal James Victor "Jim" Arnaud, 53, and Deputy Elizabeth "Liz" Licera Magruder, 30, were killed in the line of duty while trying to serve an Emergency Petition Service (EPS), a court-ordered psychological evaluation, on James Ramiah Logan, a 23-year-old High Point High School graduate.[8][9][10]
At 9:30 p.m., on the night of August 29, 2002, Corporal Arnaud and Deputy Magruder were at the residence of James Ramiah Logan at 9332 Lynmont Drive in Adelphi, Maryland to serve a petition for a psychiatric evaluation. Logan's father led the two deputies inside the house, where Logan was in the basement conducting a Bible study. Logan, who had been smoking marijuana earlier in the day, was asked by Arnaud to come with him, but he declined. Logan went into a bedroom, where Arnaud and Magruder followed him. Logan's parents were in the master bedroom at the time. As the two deptuies were standing outside the bedroom door, Logan opened the door and fired at them, striking Arnaud six times, in the carotid artery and liver, and Magruder once in the back of the head, as she tried to retreat into cover. Arnaud would die at the scene, but the mortally-wounded Magruder was able to call for assistance over her radio at 9:34 p.m. Logan's father called 911 at 9:39 p.m. to report the shooting. Magruder was airlifted to the Prince George's Hospital Center, where she was pronounced dead.[11][12][13][14]
Logan fled the scene with Anthony Antwan Kromah and was apprehended two days later; Logan was found hiding in a shed and police officers used a taser and a police dog to subdue him. He was interviewed by PGPD detective, Vincent Canales for approximately three-and-a-half hours, where he admitted to the crime. Logan was initially tried, convicted, and sentenced to one hundred years' imprisonment in 2003. However, two years later, in 2005, the decision was overturned on appeal and Logan was awarded a second trial. Logan's first attempt at a retrial ended in June 2007 with a mistrial after jurors couldn't come to a verdict after ten hours of deliberations. However, a few months later, he was subsequently convicted again and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment in October 2007, with credit for time served, much to the chagrin of the deputies' surviving family members, who felt he deserved a lifelong imprisonment.[15][16][17]
Arnaud was posthumously promoted to sergeant, and Magruder was posthumously promoted to deputy first class. Arnaud is survived by his wife, Theresa, and several children; Magruder is survived by her husband Derwinn and her three-year-old son Devinn.[18][19][20][21][22]
The killings helped to spur the passage of a new Maryland state law pertaining to the treatment of the mentally ill, which went into effect on October 1, 2003. The law allows a judge to order a mandatory psychiatric evaluation of a person, if the person were a threat to themselves or to others.[23]
2008: Deputy wounded in Laurel[edit]
On February 16, 2008, at approximately 3:30 a.m., a PGSO SWAT team member was shot and critically wounded while serving a warrant as part of a task force with Deputy U.S. Marshals. The suspect, Aaron M. Lowry, was wanted for the shooting of a Washington, D.C. police officer. The injured deputy was flown to Baltimore Shock Trauma Center where he had surgery and was upgraded to serious but stable condition, and survived.[24]
2008: Berwyn Heights mayor's residence raid[edit]
On July 29, 2008, the PGPD and PGSO raided the home of Cheye Calvo, the mayor Berwyn Heights, Maryland. The raid team did not coordinate their action with the local police department as required by mutual agreement, nor did they did not obtain a warrant or knock on the door to announce their presence. They raided the house with explosive devices and with firearms drawn. During the course of the raid, they killed the Calvo family's two pet Labrador retriever dogs.
No charges were filed against the family. A PGSO internal investigation stated that the PGSO's actions were justified. In 2010, Sheriff Michael Jackson said of the raid: "Quite frankly we'd do it again tonight."[25]
2012: Courthouse misconduct[edit]
In June 2012, Deputy Lamar McIntyre was charged with having coitus with a woman that was in custody at the county courthouse. In 2014, He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in custody, with all but one year suspended. He was mandated to be required to submit to eighteen months of supervised probation.[26][27]
The sheriff is elected by the citizens of Prince George's County. The rank structure of the remaining members of the Sheriff's Office is modeled after the U.S. military. The ranks of student deputy through corporal are non-competitive. sergeant through captain are competitive. The ranks of lieutenant colonel (Assistant Sheriff) and colonel (Chief Assistant Sheriff) are appointed by, and serve at the disrections of the sheriff.[28]
The PGSO is divided into three bureaus:[29]
Bureau of Court Services[edit]
Court services is based out of the court complex located within the municipality of Upper Marlboro and is responsible for the safety and security of the circuit court in Upper Marlboro, transportation of inmates, and to provide assistant security and law enforcement services to the District Court in Upper Marlboro and Hyattsville, as well as domestic violence liaison services. The Bureau of Court Services is subdivided into four sections: Circuit Court, District Court, Transportation, and Building Security. Specifically, the bureau is responsible for the safety and security of the 7th Judicial Circuit for the state of Maryland and the District Court for Prince George's County located within the court complexes and adjacent property in Upper Marlboro and Hyattsville. Yearly, between the Circuit Court, District Court, Transportation, and Building Security Sections, the bureau transports an average of 31,000 prisoners, effects 700 warrant and warrantless arrests, and interviews over 8,000 victims of domestic violence[30]
Bureau of Field Operations[edit]
Field Operations is based out of the Largo Substation and is charged with: Civil/Landlord & Tenant, Domestic Violence Intervention Unit (DVIU or DV Unit), Warrant/Fugitive Squad, and Child Support Enforcement. The Civil section is responsible for service of criminal and civil summonses, and other court-ordered writs. The Landlord and Tenant (L&T) Section is responsible for notification of delinquent rent and/or mortgage payments/foreclosures, and court-ordered evictions. The section receives approximately 10,000 writs for non-payment each month.[31] The Domestic Violence Intervention Unit's primary responsibility is response to domestic-related 9-1-1 calls, court-ordered psychiatric commitments, and ex parte protective order service.[32] The Prince George's DV Unit was the first in the state of Maryland and the first to operate on a 24-hour basis, and is considered a nationally-recognized model.[33] The unit receives on average over 1,200 orders per month, the highest in the state.[34]
Bureau of Administration[edit]
Administration is based out of the main headquarters located in Upper Marlboro and contains the School Resource, Public Information Office (PIO), Recruiting, Training, and Internal Affairs. The Public Information Office (PIO) also operates an Explorers Post,[35] Prince George's County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post #1696 for Prince George's County youths between the ages of 15 (or 14, provisionally) and 20. The sheriff and his command staff operate out of the Sheriff's Office complex located in Upper Marlboro. Most of the civilian support personnel also work out of this facility providing administrative duties such as NCIC monitoring, teletype (TTY), uniform and supply, criminal warrant research and organization, as well as other administrative duties as directed.[36]
Special Operations Division[edit]
The Special Operations Division (SOD) is responsible for specialized and specific services. The division is commanded by an assistant bureau chief and has different teams specifically responsible for: SST (SWAT)-response, executive and witness protection, riot control, crisis negotiations, intelligence gathering, motorcycle escort, and ceremonial duties.[37]
