Blackmon to 'do it all' at Combine; Fleener won't
NFL scouts will get the opportunity to see Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon, who most rated as the elite wide receiver in the 2012 draft, participate fully in this week's Scouting Combine.
NFLDraftScout.com has learned that a high ankle sprain will keep another potential first round pass-catcher from doing the same, however.
Albert Breer of NFL.com reports that Blackmon plans to "do it all" in Indianapolis this week and even predicts that he'll be timed between 4.4 and 4.5 seconds when he runs the 40-yard dash. Despite Blackmon dominating the competition at the collegiate level, including winning back to back Biletnikof Awards as the nation's elite receiver, scouts have reservations about his straight-line speed. Blackmon, in fact, has been routinely estimated as a receiver with 4.55-4.60 speed by area scouts who have scouted him numerous times in person. A perceived lack of top-end speed is the one physical characteristic Blackmon would appear to be lacking when compared to receivers taken in the top six in recent years like A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson. Scouts also have some reservations about Blackmon's decision-making off the field, in large part due to an arrest for driving while under the influence of alcohol in October, 2010. Blackmon was just 20 years old at the time.
While scouts will get some of their biggest questions answered about arguably the elite non-QB skill-position talent in the draft at the Combine, they'll have to wait until Stanford's March 22 Pro Day to see Coby Fleener, NFLDraftScout.com's top-rated senior tight end, perform athletic drills. Considering that some guy named Luck is expected to throw that day as well as the presence of two first round caliber offensive linemen (OG David DeCastro, OT Jonathan Martin) also among those expected to be on hand for the workout, there should be plenty of decision-makers in Palo Alto for the workout.
Ironically enough, Fleener suffered his ankle injury playing against Blackmon's Oklahoma State Cowboys January 3 in the Fiesta Bowl. The injury kept Fleener out of the Senior Bowl. According to a source close to the situation, Fleener has recovered suffiiciently from the injury but hasn't yet had an opportunity to prepare fully for the Combine-specific workouts. Though he won't be able to work out, Fleener will attend the Combine to participate in the medical testing and interview process.

Report: Tannehill to work out on campus March 29
NFL scouts will get the opportunity to scout Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill Pro Day one week after the only two quarterbacks currently rated by NFLDraftScout.com ahead of him -- Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III -- are scheduled to hold their own.
NFL.com's Gil Brandt reports that Tannehill will have an on-campus workout March 29.
It will be the first time scouts have seen Tannehill since he guided the Aggies to a Meineke Bowl win over Northwestern December 31st. Tannehill suffered a foot injury while preparing for the Senior Bowl at IMG Football Academy in Bradenton, Florida. It was discovered that he had broken the fifth metatarsal. The injury and subsequent surgery in which a screw was inserted cost Tannehill the opportunity to compete in the Senior Bowl, next week's Scouting Combine or Texas A&M's initial Pro Day March 7.
While Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden and Michigan State's Kirk Cousins boosted their stock with strong efforts at the Senior Bowl, Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill remains the most talented senior quarterback in the land and is likely to be the first one drafted.
Some believe Tannehill's obvious talent will be enough to land him in the first round. Others, including myself, are having a harder time envisioning a quarterback with only 19 collegiate starts at the position as being a first-round pick. While I don't include him in my mock draft, I do believe he's among the top 32 talents in this draft.

Tannehill out of boot, will re-schedule Pro Day
While Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden and Michigan State's Kirk Cousins boosted their stock with strong efforts at the Senior Bowl, Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill remains the most talented senior quarterback in the land and is likely to be the first one drafted.
Some believe Tannehill's obvious talent will be enough to land him in the first round, joining redshirt juniors Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III as top 32 picks. Others, including myself, are having a harder time envisioning a quarterback who just 19 collegiate starts at the position as being a first round pick. While I don't include him in my mock draft, I do believe he's among the top 32 talents in this draft.
Regardless of where he is ultimately drafted, Tannehill will have to first prove his health, as he underwent surgery recently to repair a broken foot suffered during passing drills at IMG Football Academy in Bradenton, Florida. The injury kept him out of the Senior Bowl and while ESPN's Pat Yasinkas is reporting that Tannehill is now out of the protective boot he was in, Tannehill won't be ready to work out for scouts at the Combine or Texas A&M's scheduled Pro Day March 7.
Yasinkas reports that Tannehill is planning to have a Pro Day "in late March" and asked the Aggie quarterback about his recovery timetable.
"We'll come back and push it pretty hard,'' Tannehill said. "I'm thinking I should be getting close to 100 percent by right after the combine and we'll really jump into the on-field stuff then to make up for the time I missed and get ready for pro day.''

Report: Prior to Tebow, Broncos eyed RG3
Prior to the development of Tim Tebow as the most talked about quarterback in Denver since John Elway, the Broncos were looking at another versatile, Heisman-winning passer as a possible first round target for the 2012 draft -- Baylor's Robert Griffin III.
Rated behind only Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and Southern California offensive tackle Matt Kalil among the elite prospects in the 2012 draft by NFLDraftScout.com, Griffin is likely to earn a top-five selection come April. That would almost surely keep RG3 out of Denver's reach, as the Broncos would have to package several picks -- including their current first round selection (No. 25 overall) to move up to get him.
Steve Wyche of NFL.com reported Tuesday, however, that the Broncos were closely scouting Griffin this season.
"At a certain point this season," Wyche said "with conversations I had there, they were really doing their due diligence on RG3 because of some of the things he can do to the offense."
Blessed with extraordinary foot speed and touch on the deep ball, Griffin is a multidimensional threat who appears perfectly suited to taking the NFL by storm. He's also entering the league at precisely the right time. The immediate success by Cam Newton will be used by some as evidence that Griffin, too, can make a quick transition to the NFL.
Considering his unique talents, the fact that the Broncos were closely scouting Griffin is no surprise. Frankly, it would be a surprise only if they didn't scout Griffin (and every other highly regarded prospect) closely. Teams don't just scout the players at perceived positions of need. Each team works hard to do their "due diligence" on every prospect who could potentially help their team.
While the Broncos aren't likely to be among them, there are several teams looking for help at quarterback. As owners of the No. 1 overall pick, the Indianapolis Colts, of course, will have the first option of taking Griffin. Team owner Jim Irsay mentioned RG3 by name when predicting who his Colts might take with the first pick.
"With [Robert] Griffin and [Andrew] Luck and the way it's shaping up at the top of the draft, [it] could very likely go one and two like with Peyton and Ryan Leaf [1998]," Irsay said.
Besides the Colts, the Cleveland Browns (No. 4, No. 22 overall), Washington Redskins (No. 6), Miami Dolphins (No. 8 or 9*) and Seattle Seahawks (No. 11 or 12*) are teams thought to be keenly interested in Griffin. *The Dolphins and Seahawks' final draft slot won't be determined until a coin=-flip held at the Combine will break their tie with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively).
If Mike Holmgren and Co. want Griffin in Cleveland, they may be able to wait for him to land in their laps at No. 4, overall. Considering the extra first round pick they have due to Atlanta's trade up for Julio Jones last April, they also have the ammunition to move up, if needed. Miami, Washington and Seattle do not have an extra first round pick this year but with enough talent on their rosters to potentially emerge as serious playoff contenders with better play at quarterback, one (or more) of the clubs could be willing to pony up several picks in an effort to move up for Griffin.
All of which is music to the ears of the St. Louis Rams, owners of the No. 2 overall pick and their own young franchise quarterback in Sam Bradford. The Rams, my CBS colleague Clark Judge argues, should auction off the pick to the highest bidder.

Pro Day Schedule / Results
Pro Day workouts are held on campus. While the interview and medical testing components of the Combine are left out at Pro Days, the same athletic drills (40-yard dash, bench press, 3-cone drill, etc.) take place. It is the best opportunity to for athletes not invited to the Combine to audition in front of high-ranking NFL decision-makers.

Stanford, Baylor each schedule March 22 Pro Days
Unless Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III defy the trend of top-rated quarterbacks choosing not to throw at the Scouting Combine, talent evaluators are going to have a tough time seeing both throw prior to the 2012 draft.
That's because Stanford and Baylor have each scheduled their on-campus "Pro Day" workouts on March 22, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The conflicting schedule could force teams to split up their decision-makers to take in the workouts. This happened last year when the Carolina Panthers sent head coach Ron Rivera to watch Cam Newton's Pro Day workout at Auburn while general manager Marty Hurney reportedly attended Ryan Mallett's workout at Arkansas.
Another possibility, of course, is that Luck and/or Griffin could schedule their own individual workouts so that scouts could attend both.
If scouts are, indeed, forced to choose one or the other, the smart money is on Griffin generating more interest despite the fact that Luck is regarded as the top prospect in the draft. While both quarterbacks are viewed as exceptional talents worthy of top five consideration, Griffin has many more questions to answer prior to the draft than Luck.
Having established himself as the elite talent in the country two years running, Luck's game has already been dissected by most decision-makers. Griffin's ascension has been more sudden. Furthermore, scouts will want to see how Griffin drops back from center after having taken the majority of his snaps out of the shotgun while at Baylor.
While there remains some debate as to which direction the Indianapolis Colts may go with the No. 1 overall pick, they are thought to be leaning towards Luck. Should they take Griffin or any other player with the first pick, the line of suitors to trade up into the St. Louis Rams' No. 2 pick would be a long one. Should Griffin not be drafted No. 1, however, it remains to be seen if he generates the same trade interest or if he "falls" past No. 2 overall. Among the teams expected to be interested in adding Griffin would be the Cleveland Browns (owners of the No. 4 overall pick), the Washington Redskins (No. 6), Miami Dolphins (No. 9*), and Seattle Seahawks (No. 12*). *Miami and Seattle's first round pick won't be decided until a coin-flip at the Combine. They may move up one spot each in the draft order after finishing tied with the Carolina Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively.
As it stands now, I am projecting Griffin to slip to No. 4 overall, where the Browns could nab him. Dane Brugler has the Heisman winner landing with Cleveland, as well.
Scouts are quick to point out that Pro Day workouts in which quarterbacks are throwing "against air" rather than defenses do not ultimately play a significant role in determining his final grade. That hasn't stopped the "Pro Day season" from becoming a huge part of the pre-draft process. Teams dedicate plenty of money and time crossing the country to attend the workouts.
I, myself, have attended several Pro Day workouts of highly regarded quarterbacks, including last year's for Jake Locker, Sam Bradford's in 2010 and Mark Sanchez in 2009.

Darron Thomas stuns Ducks, leaving early for NFL
If the Oregon Ducks are going to successfully defend their Pac-12 crown next season they'll be doing so with a new starting backfield.
It had been expected that head coach Chip Kelly would lose LaMichael James to the NFL after this season. But Saturday night, junior quarterback Darron Thomas stunned the program with the decision to also forgo his final season of eligibility and head off to the pros.
Thomas, NFLDraftScout.com's No. 12 rated quarterback in the 2013 class, may be making a terrible decision.
The 6-3, 215 pound Thomas has put up impressive statistics in Kelly's offense. Last season he completed 62% of his passes for 2,761 yards and a sparkling touchdown to interception ratio of 33-7. Considering that Thomas also ran for 206 yards and three scores, he was among the most effective all-purpose quarterbacks in the country and played a critical role in Oregon's run to the Rose Bowl championship and No. 4 ranking. He also boasts one of the more impressive career accomplishments any college quarterback can hope to have -- having thrown for at least one touchdown in every one of his career starts (27). In 31 games over his career Thomas passed for 5,910 yards, 66 touchdowns and just 17 interceptions.
That said, Thomas on tape doesn't necessarily match his hype.
Thomas' prodution is inflated due to Oregon's aggressive scheme and explosive athletes. He averaged 8.14 yards gained each time he even attempted a pass in 2011. He flashes good touch down the seams and enough zip to complete crossing routes over the middle, he isn't the elite passer his statistics would suggest. Too many of his passes forced receivers to adjust their routes, limiting opportunities for even bigger plays. Furthermore, he did not show much improvement in his second season as a starter despite playing in a relatively simple offense.
Kelly offered a luke warm opinion on Thomas' decision.
"As in all cases, we educate our players with the information we feel will be beneficial to them throughout the process but ultimately, the decision is left up to the players," Kelly said. "I will always support Darron in his decision and want to thank him for everything he has done for this program. He obviously has played a major role in elevating Oregon football to new heights and I wish him well in the future."
Thomas has talent but is viewed by scouts as a significant project. That fact could push him into late portions of the draft (or worse), especially considering that he comes with off-field baggage. Remember, Thomas was the passenger with former Duck cornerback Cliff Harris on the night Harris was pulled over for speeding in a car rented by a Oregon employee. Harris was clocked at 118 miles per hour, was driving without a license and admitted to police he had been smoking marijuana. Thomas' reaction to questions from the media regarding his role in the incident falls a bit short of inspirational.
Thomas is the second Pac-12 quarterback to attempt to fill the vacancy left when Matt Barkley made his decision to return Southern Cal. He joins Andrew Luck and Arizona State's Brock Osweiler as early entries from the conference.

Griffin meets with Briles, draft decision looming
Robert Griffin III met with seven sports agencies and then again with Baylor coach Art Briles as he weighs the decision of whether to return to the Bears for his senior season or enter the 2012 NFL Draft.
The deadline for underclassmen to enter the draft is Sunday.
"He's really contemplating what he feels like is the thing that's going to give him peace," Briles said.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner and NFLDraftScout.com's No. 2-ranked quarterback prospect, Griffin met with prospective agents with Baylor compliance officers present to ensure he wasn't sacrificing his eligibility should he opt to return to college football. He first had his parents, both Army sargeants, interview agents and provide him feedback.
Griffin, 6-2, 220, earned his bachelor's degree a year ago after graduating high school a semester early to enroll in January 2008. He's on pace to earn his masters in communication in May and is engaged to be married.
There are no character-related questions with Griffin, who said he arrived at Baylor with the NFL as a Plan B.
"Plan B can overtake Plan A if they come knocking at your door," he said. "Who are you to turn down the NFL."
Indeed, a lot changed for Griffin in the span of one season. At this time last year, he said he received feedback from the NFL Draft Advisory Board that he was likely to be a second- or third-round pick. In a loaded quarterback class that included five quarterbacks in the top 35 selections, Griffin might have been overlooked.
If he decides to turn pro, that's unlikely this time around.
Stanford's Andrew Luck, the top-rated prospect by NFLDraftScout.com, and Griffin are expected to be the only sure first-round picks. As such, each is projected by NFLDraftScout.com's Rob Rang and Dane Brugler's as top five picks in their latest mock drafts. Some might include Ryan Tannehill of Texas A&M, but his raw skills after just two years at the position make him more of a risk.
Risk should be a consideration for Griffin, who missed most of the 2009 season with a knee injury.
After throwing for more than 4,000 yards with 37 touchdowns and only six interceptions, Griffin has opened many eyes. He also had 699 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Former Colts head coach Tony Dungy is on the record that he might even draft Griffin, not Luck, with the first overall pick. He won't be the only one with that opinion, regardless of how flawless the Stanford redshirt junior has been and scouting reports will be in April.
Griffin isn't without some concerns with evaluators, who want to verify his height and weight before projecting him as a franchise quarterback. On appearances alone, there are scouts who are concerned Griffin doesn't have the sturdy build to withstand the rigors of taking pounding in and outside of the pocket in the NFL.
But like Newton in 2011, about whom there were concerns he could throw accurately in an NFL-style offense, it's also worth considering whether Griffin has a reasonable facsimile in the NFL.
Griffin said he patterns his game after Steve Young -- a mobile quarterback who thrives on efficiency -- but can't help but see the comparison many have drawn between 2011 No. 1 overall pick Newton and Griffin.
Griffin owns 46 Baylor records, and in 41 games completed 67 percent of his passes (800 of 1,192) for 10,366 yards with 78 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He had 33 rushing touchdowns and 2,254 yards.

Tyler Harvey scores a career-high 28 points and Drew Brandon has double-double and six assists in losing effort
The turnovers and free throws started mounting, and the lead slipped away.
The Eastern Washington University men's basketball team held a double-digit lead much of the game, but a late 12-0 run helped Washington pull away for a 92-80 victory Sunday (Nov. 17) at Alaska Airlines Arena. The game was part of the 2K Sports Classic benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project.
Eastern, which was out-scored at the free throw line 31-11, was playing its first game against UW in Jim Hayford's tenure as EWU head coach. The Eagles are now 1-1 on the young season, while the Huskies are 2-1. Eastern was coming off a wire-to-wire 87-58 victory over Pacific on Nov. 10 in Cheney, Wash., while Washington lost to UC Irvine 86-72 in its last outing.
"To beat a good team on their home floor you need to play a complete game," said Hayford, whose team was just 11-of-23 at the line compared to a 31-of-34 effort by the Huskies. "We were out-scored by 20 points at the free throw line. We need to improve as a foul-shooting team and we need to take advantage of that. You know they are going to answer with a run, but if we're making all of our free throws it's a one-possession game at the end. That played against us."
Junior point guard Drew Brandon, playing just his second game as an Eagle, turned in a superb double-double for the Eagles with 13 points, 14 rebounds and six assists. Tyler Harvey lit up the scoreboard for a career-high 28 points, including 20 in the first half when the Eagles opened up a double-digit lead.
"We knew we were getting a great rebounding guard and he did it on a big stage," said Hayford. "It's one thing to put those numbers up in junior college, but he did it on a Pac-12 floor. The thing I love about him is that he's a competitor. He wants those shots and he's not going to turn the ball over much.
Parker Kelly added 10 points for the Eagles, and Venky Jois had nine points and six rebounds. Martin Seiferth played just 14 minutes because of foul trouble and had seven points and four rebounds.
"Tyler was unbelievable that first half," Hayford continued. "Then they did a great job of making life really, really hard on Tyler. Martin was in foul trouble the whole game, but I thought he played well in the minutes he had."
Eastern led by as many as 12 in the second half, but had 10 second-half turnovers. Eastern had 15 in the game as EWU ended with a 20-14 advantage in points off turnovers.
"We got them away from what they wanted to do, and then they just put five guards out there because we were exploiting the mismatches," said Hayford of the turnaround. "They dialed up the pressure and then scored points off our turnovers and the game changed fast. We have to take care of the ball better when there is pressure on us like that."
With seven early points from Brandon and a pair of 3-pointers by Harvey, Eastern opened an early 18-8 lead on the Huskies. A 3-pointer by Thomas Reuter gave the Eagles a 24-13 advantage at the 10:58 mark.
Eastern led 48-39 at halftime as Harvey scored 20 of his points in the first half. He made 5-of-8 3-pointers – including a 4-point play – as EWU finished 7-of-15 in the half as a team.
The Eagles built the lead to 12 on two occasions early in the second half thanks to a pair of baskets by Seiferth and a layup by Parker Kelly at the 18:10 mark. But Seiferth picked up his fourth foul with 16:31 to play and EWU leading 67-57.
With fouls mounting and Washington's free throw total soaring, the Eagles held a 70-63 lead with 10:17 to play on a 3-pointer by Harvey. But UW followed with its 12-0 run to take a 75-70 lead.
Eastern righted the ship, but the momentum shift helped UW maintain the lead the rest of the way.
The Huskies were 18-16 a year ago overall and 9-9 in one of the toughest leagues in the country. The Eagles return four starters and seven total letterwinners to a team that finished 10-21 overall and just missed the Big Sky Conference Tournament with a 7-13 league mark. Hayford enters his third season at the helm.
The Eagles are now 1-12 all-time against Washington, and lost 97-72 the last time the two teams played in 2010. Eastern, with no seniors on its team, does not have any players on its current roster who played against UW in 2010. Eastern beat the Huskies in Seattle 62-58 in 2002, but has lost the eight meetings since then.
Eastern next hosts Walla Walla Tuesday (Nov. 19) at 6 p.m. at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash. The Wolves are 0-8 this season following losses last week to Eastern Oregon (76-67) and College of Idaho (87-69). Eastern and Walla Walla, a NAIA independent, have played once before – an 89-61 Eagle win on Dec. 1, 2009.
Following that game it's off to Irvine, Calif., to play in the 2K Sports Classic, where Eastern will play three games in three days from Nov. 22-24. The Eagles play Boston University, LIU Brooklyn and UC Irvine – teams which had a collective record of 58-43 (57 percent) a year ago, and were 34-18 (65 percent) in their respective leagues.
West Coach Conference powerhouse Saint Mary's, which was 28-7 overall and 14-2 in the WCC in 2008, will usher in an equally difficult month of December when EWU travels to Moraga, Calif., on Dec. 8.

Barack Pinocchio Obama
Facts are stubborn things
Jun 11, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 37 • By FRED BARNES
Skirting the truth eventually gets a politician in trouble with the press. And Obama has the additional problem of having run in 2008 as a leader above the corner-cutting often associated with office seekers. So there's hypocrisy here, the idealist now employing the tricks of the cynic.
Reporters, indeed most journalists, hate hypocrisy. When they spot it, they generally pounce. True, they often exaggerate it, but that wasn't the case when they jumped on Obama for raising money from rich private equity investors at the same time he was denouncing Romney for his work as head of Bain Capital, a private equity firm.
One more thing: arrogance. The press gets its back up at the sight of political operators who see themselves as masters of the universe. Yet that's the impression of the Obama campaign strategists left by John
A dangerous tendency of politicians is to think so highly of themselves that the media become less important to them. I think Obama has gotten to that point. By denying the press what it craves the most—respect—Obama is asking for trouble. And, finally, he's beginning to get it.

Water Management and Conservation Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The proposed project is to develop a new remote sensing and biophysical modeling approach for detecting agricultural lands in semi-arid regions and quantifying effects of climate, crop and soil types, and irrigation efficiencies upon water consumed.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
The research will implemented in four main parts:.1)Development of a new, integrated satellite and model-based approach for detecting irrigated agriculture in arid lands,.2)Development of derived satellite-based observations needed for implementation of a water-use biophysical model,.3)Refine, validate, and expand biophysical modeling results from multiple local sites in the United States and Israel to be applied over large scales,.4)Utilize results from step 3 to evaluate the implications for future agricultural production based on realistic scenarios for climate and land use changes.

I was lookin at the new blog entry about the increased pricing and noticed that TM is still including the $7,500 tax credit yet this particular credit expires at the end of 2012 with no word yet on if it will be extended in to 2013. Anyone heard anything? I tried to post on the blog but they haven't approved my comment yet.
The credit does not expire at the end of 2012 and does not need to be renewed or extended to continue. I think that's why they haven't approved your comment.
The Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicles tax credit (IRC 30D), is valid until the manufacturer sells 200,000 vehicles. That is the only term for expiration of this credit.
There has already been a 'fiscal cliff' discussion here about whether this tax credit may be affected by sequestration. So far, there's no evidence that it's affected.
Here is the IRS page, which links to a list of eligible vehicles and manufacturers. Don't worry that it lists the Model S as "2012" - it also lists the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi which will not even go on sale until next year. If the program was scheduled to expire, it would be mentioned on the site, as it does for other programs (such as IRC 30, which applied to electric motorcycles and low-speed EVs and ended January 1st, 2012).
For further reading, I recommend the following sites:
- Fueleconomy.gov's page on the tax credit. This provides useful information on how to claim the tax credit.
- Pluginamerica.org's page on incentives. This provides an interactive map of incentives state-by-state, as well as news on expired incentives and ones being considered.
- The DoE's Alternate Fuel Data Center (AFDC). This site's a wealth of information, and has a matrix of all the programs (including incentives) for electric and alternate fuel vehicles.
Great info, thanks! I had posted this question on the Midrl S forum too and they mentioned this too. Yes, I do think that's why the comment wasn't approved- because I was misinformed! Good to know the incentive is around for a while longer.

Nomura Securities believes Verizon Communications Inc.(VZ) and Vodafone Group Plc(VOD) will amend their relationship this year.
Analyst Mike McCormack reported that he is positive that VZ and VOD will fix their relationship in 2013. McCormack commented, "we continue to see material accretion to Verizon by taking full control of Wireless. Assuming a 7.5x EV/EBITDA multiple, and funding the $111bn deal with 50% Verizon equity, we estimate Verizon's 2013 EPS and FCF per share would rise 19% and 15%, respectively," McCormack said. "Unwinding the JV in one step continues to seem daunting, with proforma leverage at 2.4x net debt/EBITDA, to say nothing of issuing $53bn in gross debt. The Vodafone tax liability continues to loom over the discussions. The press report references a tax-free transaction method, but Vodafone would still owe taxes when selling the Verizon shares it would receive. FY13E EPS at $2.77."
Verizon shares were down 32 cents, or -0.67% during Wednesday morning trading, and have increased 22% in the past year. Vodafone shares were up 30 cents, or 1.11% during Wednesday morning trading, and have been mostly flat in the past year.
The Bottom Line
Shares of Verizon Communications Inc.(VZ) have a 4.37% yield, based on Wednesday morning's price of $47.18.
Vodafone Group Plc(VOD) shares have a 3.76% yield, based on Wednesday morning's price of $27.10.
Verizon Communications Inc.(VZ) and Vodafone Group Plc(VOD) are not recommended at this time, holding Dividend.com DARS™ Ratings of 3.4 out of 5 stars.

Port Blakely president will step down Jan. 15
January 12, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
Port Blakely Communities President Alan Boeker will step down Jan. 15, the company announced last week. The executive will leave as the Issaquah Highlands developer works to bring additional commercial options to the decade-old community.
René Ancinas, president and chief operating officer of parent company Port Blakely Companies, will assume responsibilities for the real estate division. Ancinas will work alongside Judd Kirk — a senior vice president, the chief real estate strategist and a key player in establishing the vision for the highlands — and other managers after the transition.
A statement from the company said Boeker would "pursue other development opportunities in the real estate industry.""I'm a builder, have been for a long time, and I will be working in the building industry in the area," Boeker said in a later interview.
Boeker joined Port Blakely in 2007, after stints at several California developers, where Boeker helped develop the Playa Vista community in Los Angeles and a 3,500-unit complex in Huntington Beach, Calif.
In Issaquah, the tenure included milestones as the highlands boomed and reached more than 7,000 residents.
Gov. Chris Gregoire and other dignitaries broke ground for a Swedish Medical Center campus in the community in October. The project will create more than 1,000 jobs by the time the entire hospital opens in 2012.
The community reached another milestone in December, when dignitaries broke ground for a YWCA affordable-housing complex. Elsewhere, volunteers continue construction on Habitat for Humanity houses. Plans for the highlands also include a Regal movie theater.
But problems with the highlands' urban village concept — with homes, offices and shops built within close proximity — came to the fore as the economy soured. The situation meant Boeker faced a sometimes-unforgiving job.
"We've done a lot of the right things to keep the value of the community high" and position the highlands for the economy recovery, Boeker said.
Residents grumbled throughout 2009 about the pace of commercial development in the community. A plan to allow a highlands gas station sputtered in late December. Deals to bring a grocery store to the community faltered as well.
Boeker listed the YWCA, Habitat for Humanity and Zero Energy Home, or zHome, project as accomplishments. The stalled zHome project — a plan to build 10 townhouses designed to produce as much electricity as the units consume — should be revived within the next few months.
Mayor Ava Frisinger lauded Boeker for efforts to bring more affordable housing to the highlands.
"I found him to be a good person to work with," she said.
Frisinger said Boeker faced challenges in Issaquah because he lacked early history with Port Blakely Communities. City Major Development Review Team Manager Keith Niven said Boeker encountered a learning curve in the highlands role.
Kirk, however, said Boeker learned about the highlands quickly, and understood residents' needs and concerns.
The new year will include increased engagement with residents as executives work to allow a gas station — billed as a cutting-edge "energy station" — and increase businesses in the community. Port Blakely also seeks a partner to complete commercial development in the highlands.

Chris Hawkins on
January 13th, 2010 6:44 pm
I will miss Alan's efforts at completing the Issaquah Highlands Urban Village. He worked tirelessly to bring retail and commercial tenants to the former Microsoft area of Issaquah Highlands. He met often with the residents, and championed their desire for a grocery store and gas station.
Alan and Port Blakely fell victim to the 2008 recession, and to a very hostile
Issaquah City Council, which has blocked every effort to get development
in Issaquah Highlands moving.
The City Council has erected a double-standard for development. Strip mall
developments such as the recent Overlake Medical center north of Fred Meyer
are encouraged, while the Highlands is held to some 'green' standard
that applies only in the Highlands.
This put the Highlands at a competitive disadvantage when trying
to attract commercial and retail tenants.

Active shooters in schools: An options-based active-shooter policy for schools
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate
I'm not going to write here about guns in American learning institutions — I've said my peace (or piece?) on that here, and here, and here.
I'm not talking about guns in the hands of vetted, volunteer adult sheepdogs — I'm talking about sneakers on the feet of our sheep — our scared little school kids.
I'm talking here about the logic — or lack thereof — of defenseless innocents staying silently still while a dealer of death and destruction stalks them.
If You're Not Shooting, ALICE...
I would bet that just about every cop in America who has kids has had a conversation along these lines:
"If you ever see someone other than daddy, mommy, or one of our police officer friends who has a gun, you need to run. Fast. Okay?"
"Okay, Dad."
"Okay, Mom."
You have kids and you haven't had that discussion? Stop reading right now and talk with your kids.
You have had that conversation? Keep reading, and when you're done, talk with your kids' school administrators.
Five days after the unspeakable horror at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I happened along a news item about the Cincinnati (Ohio) Police Department using something called the ALICE Response Program to keep kids safe in school.
Soon thereafter I was speaking with Greg Crane, the founder of the ALICE program, which has been instructed at more than 300 school districts in the decade since its inception in 2002.
"I was a SWAT officer in the 90s, and we were training our butts off for a school shooter. Then, Columbine happened. That was a slap of realty: 'Guys, you're not going to get there in time,'" Crane told me when we spoke yesterday.
Back then — and still today in too many places — the only planned response in a school's policy handbook is some form of lockdown.
Crane turned to his wife — an elementary school principal — and asked her what she and her colleagues were taught to do if lockdown wasn't applicable/feasible or if a previously-secure area was breached?
Her reply: "Sit there and wait until the good guys get there."
Dissatisfied with that as a fully-fleshed-out emergency-response plan, Crane went in search of an options-based response plan. Having not found one to his liking, he created the ALICE Program.
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. Here's a précis:
1.) Alert — Call 911
Please know that although the letters A-L-I-C-E may appear to be sequential steps to follow, they are not. The acronym is merely a mnemonic to help people under stress to remember the options available to them in an active-shooter scenario.
Learning From History
They had a way out of that library, but a policy and a procedure — and the training given to Patti Nielson, a teacher and a hall monitor at Columbine High — dictated that they stay there.
"They stayed there five minutes too long," Crane said.
"We typically see in these events people who end up basically disobeying the lockdown strategy. We saw it last week in Connecticut — 6-year-old kids running out of the building. Where is that included in a lockdown procedure?"
A Box Full of Options
We need a fully-outfitted toolbox of options.
Crane's system acknowledges that there is no on-size-fits all strategy, and that teachers, administrators, students (and in the case of corporate environments, employers and employees) be given an options-based plan from which a situationally-sound solution can be drawn.
If all we tell people do to — and in many cases what we make them do — is to sit under a desk or in cower a corner, what are we really doing to mitigate the chances of an accurate shot by an active killer?
Why is it that when we have a natural killer like fire do we tell our kids to get out in an quick but orderly fashion, but when we have a human killer like a merciless predator prowling the hallways of their school, we tell them to stay perfectly still?
"Why," asks Crane, "is that fundamental baseline response to danger different? Look at the conversations we have with very young children in 'stranger danger training.' None of that is 'be passive, be static, be quiet...'
"Why," asks Crane, "when we bring a very high level of danger into a school building in the form of a shooter — instead of a predator on the street — we tell them they have to be passive and static and quiet?"
Logical Solutions to Illogical Problems
Secure in place works when no contact with the active killer is made. When contact with the active killer is made, that strategy — and perhaps all the people in the room — probably have to go right out the window.
It's no secret that I support law enforcement firearms training for vetted, volunteer civilians, but at the same time I don't think there is any one answer to this problem of active killers in schools. Dan Marcou, Dick Fairburn, Glenn French, and myriad others have suggested sound strategies. I think ALICE also bears consideration.
As the saying goes, "When seconds count, cops are mere moments away."
Doesn't it make sense that schools have a somewhat more sophisticated policy in place than essentially playing hide-and-seek with active killers? I think so.
Check out these videos about the ALICE Program, and add your thoughts in the comments area below.
Stay safe my friends.

|Hyperoxia elicits myocardial protection through a nuclear factor kappaB-dependent mechanism in the rat heart.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12658209 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Hyperoxia has been previously shown to protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the present study we investigated whether the cardioprotective effects of hyperoxia were dependent on the redox-sensitive transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB. METHODS: Rats were kept in a hyperoxic (> or =95% O(2)) environment for 60 minutes. Their hearts were isolated immediately afterward, buffer perfused in a Langendorff apparatus, and subjected to 25 minutes of global ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion. Cardiac pressures and coronary flow were measured, and infarct size was determined by means of triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Activation of nuclear factor kappaB was assessed by means of the electrophoretic mobility shift assay, whereas the inhibitor IkappaBalpha was evaluated by means of immunoblotting. Pharmacologic inhibition of nuclear factor kappaB was achieved with 2 different agents, SN50 and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. RESULTS: Preischemic exposure to hyperoxia improved postischemic recovery of myocardial contractile function and coronary flow and reduced infarct size. Hyperoxia activated pulmonary and myocardial nuclear factor kappaB. Pretreatment with SN50 (400 microg/kg administered intraperitoneally) or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (100 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally) before hyperoxia abolished the functional and infarct-limiting protection. Hyperoxia reduced nuclear factor kappaB activation in the heart during sustained ischemia and reperfusion and increased the cytoplasmatic inhibitory factor IkappaBalpha. Administration of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate or SN50 during ischemia and reperfusion to isolated hearts from normoxic control animals improved postischemic contractile function and coronary flow and reduced infarct size. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperoxia protects the rat heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury. The cardioprotection depends on myocardial activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB. Our results support evidence for a dual role of nuclear factor kappaB in the heart.

Review: The Black Bat #10
The Black Bat is forced to deal with the idea of betrayal in his own inner circle. Also, the blowback from his prison break-in escalates as he is declared public enemy number one; and the war against him is brought right to his doorstep.
The Black Bat has been gone for a few months, but he's finally back with the release of the tenth issue in his series from writer Brian Buccellato and artist Ronan Cliquet. Viviane Souza handles colors with Rob Steen providing lettering. So was Black Bat's return worth the wait?
When last we saw the Black Bat, he had helped break his archenemy out of prison for the sake of the woman he loves. It didn't do him a lot of good since she ended up seriously injured anyway. Now the Bat has to deal with the fallout of the prison break and how it has made him public enemy #1. The police have been dealing with a decrease in public trust since the bombing incident, but now things reach an entirely new level as Professor Tell leads the charge for the public to take control for the inept police squad. All of this converges in an unpredictable way as the Bat has to deal with a new enemy that has been manipulating things from the very beginning. Who has been pulling all the strings? Black Bat has had a target on his back for a while, but is he about to be taking down for good?
Buccellato writes another great issue. Things have been building since the very beginning of the series, and now we're starting to see who exactly has been moving the pieces. It has been hinted at before, but now we know what is really going on now. This has been a slow burn series that has started to catch fire the last few issues. Cliquet's art is strong as usual. This is mainly an issue that has people talking, but Cliquet keeps things flowing and interesting the entire time. The one big fight scene for our hero is handled well and gives you a bit of a Daredevil vibe. Souza is a new arrival for this issue, but the colors are very much in line with what we've seen before. Things are more subdued and moody, a perfect fit for what's going on this month.
Bottom Line: The Black Bat lost a little momentum during its absence, but Buccellato and company keep telling a dramatic story that keeps bringing you explosive surprises. 3.5/5

Our 2010 Japan trip.
Hi all,
Here's a bit of footage I recorded on my cheap little digicam when I was in Japan last Feb, the footage isn't the best but I thought it was better shared around since i've been sitting around with the unedited raw footage for 6 months now and havent shown anyone =)
YouTube - Japan 2010
Video isn't the best quality due to not having a wide angle lense but you gotta make do with what you've got =)
Who feels like joining me over there in 2011?
Sounds like fun..... How much did it cost you?
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a hell of a time. I know you were asked this already but how much DID it cost??
Complete package including airfares, accommodation, lift passes & transfers was a bit over $4000 Australian. For that we had 1 week in Hakuba, 1 week in Niseko and 3 nights in Tokyo.
If you book earlier than we did tho then you could have got it for 10-20% less, earlybird specials always cost heaps less.
$3543 U.S, thats really not bad for 2 1/2 weeks all inclusive. If I wasn't about to start college I think that's what I would be saving my money for.
Airfares from the states will cost a bit more tho, from Australia is't only a 10 hour flight, from the US its 16 hours across the pacific.

Here are some comments and testimonials from a few of our satisfied clients.
Through the Atlas Orthogonal technique, Dr. Ellwanger has cured my chronic migraines which I have suffered with for years. I used to have migraines a few times a month and they would last for days without any respite. Doctors treated the symptoms but not the cause. After the initial x-rays, Dr Ellwanger was able to pinpoint the exact location of the misalignment and alleviate the primary cause of the headaches. The results were immediate and since then I have had minimal follow up appointments and have only had one or two very mild headaches since. Nothing compared with what I used to get . Dr Ellwanger's approach has been consistently professional and considerate. I only wish I had received this treatment years earlier! I would encourage anyone who is suffering with headaches, neck or back problems to explore treatment with Dr. Ellwanger.
Rebecca A. Cary, North Carolina
Dr. George is a caring and very knowledgeable chiropractor. He takes the time to understand what your problems are, and has the right strategy to help you. The specialized chiropractic care techniques that he uses helps where the traditional does not. If you have any neck or back pain, I highly recommend that you call Dr. George.
Steve L.
I have been working with Dr. Ellwanger for treatment of neck/back pain and stiffness and I can highly recommend him as a very effective practitioner in atlas orthogonal chiropractic. He is attentive to my concerns as his patient and provides the highest quality of care. As my condition has changed over time, he has adjusted my appointment frequency accordingly so I'm not paying for treatments that I don't need. I have been very impressed w/ atlas orthogonal as a treatment and with Dr Ellwanger as a provider.
Terri P.
I was told that I should go see Dr. Ellwanger because I was suffering with crippling low back pain and neck pain at work. I was pleasantly surprised to find that be did not twist or pop my neck or low back, but instead just gently adjusted them so as not to increase my pain. The next day I was able to move much more freely and painlessly, so much so that I was able to return to work on the following day. He really cares for his patients and I have recommended him to everyone at work!
Lou T.
Dr. Ellwanger has helped me and my family tremendously. I have gone to Chiropractors for years and totally believe in what they do; however, with the types of Chiropractors I had gone to it was normally a 200 pound man basically jumping on my back to get it to adjust properly and then snapping my neck to adjust it. It worked and I am still alive, but it was painful and I got to the point where I dreaded going.
I was skeptical going to Dr. Ellwanger because I thought it would be the same thing. As a matter of fact the first time he adjusted me using the Atlas Orthogonal method I asked "is that it?!" The results were phenomenal so I told everyone about it. When I told my Mother-in-law she was skeptical as well because of being injured through traditional chiropractors and was experiencing constant numbness down her leg for over a year and a half. When she went to see Dr. Ellwanger she was amazed to say the least. After only 2 trips to him she noticed tremendous results and now realizes that she doesn't have to live in pain and numbness for the rest of her life.
I continue to recommend Dr. Ellwanger to everyone that I can.
Greg H.
My husband was having 2-3 migraines a month before he visited with Dr. Ellwanger. Dr. Ellwanger's knowledge on migraines is extensive and with his recommendations and the treatment he provided, my husband's number of headaches significantly reduced. My husband is much happier and productive. Before seeing Dr. Ellwanger, his headaches usually lasted 1-2 days. He now has had one headache in 2 months and it only lasted 6 hours. A major improvement in living. Thank you Dr. Ellwanger, for giving me my husband back.
T. Hughes
George is the first I've heard of that practiced chiropractic techniques that dealt with the atlas bone in your neck. My wife, Angie, had been suffering from fatigue, soreness, chronic sickness and IBS to name a few, in which the doctors had no answer for. We had dealt with a battery of test that all came back negative and these same doctors wanted to go through the tests again just to confirm the results. At that point my wife and I decided to look else where since the traditional way was not working. George had presented what he does at some networking meetings l had attended and he answered my questions thoroughly and promptly.
Angie has been going to George for over 2 months now and the physical improvement is quite amazing. I recommend George for anyone not feeling quite 100% or for those not getting any answers from their doctors.
Richard B.
I've been to a number of different chiropractors, who utilized a number of different techniques. This technique has by far, the most long lasting and immediate results.
Holly W.
When I first came to see Dr. Ellwanger I was extremely skeptical. How could a chiropractor help me? I have severe scoliosis in my lower back and my other doctors told me that I needed to have rods put in my spine to keep it from getting worse, and to keep me out of pain.
I wanted to avoid surgery as long as possible. Dr. Ellwanger explained and demonstrated how the pain in my low back could be due to misalignments in my neck. I never would have thought that there could be that much connection between my neck and my low back pain, but I figured 'what do I have to lose?' After a few adjustments my low back pain was much improved. I am now holding my adjustments for months at a time. I am thrilled to be out of pain! My family is happier too! I am truly amazed that my doctors didn't know about this type of chiropractic, but I believe that I have found a miracle. Thank you Dr. Ellwanger!

Sixteen year old Natasha Lambert was born with atheroid cerebral palsy, which affects her limbs as well as her speech and confines her to a wheelchair. On Monday 1 July, she is leaving her wheelchair behind to embark on an incredible challenge entitled The French Connection which will see her sail her 21ft Mini Transat, Miss Isle Too, across the English Channel completely by herself using just her mouth to control the boat. She is raising money for the RNLI, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and Wetwheels Solent.
Natasha Lambert
Natasha, who lives on the Isle of Wight with her family, is predicting the 25 mile voyage, which starts in Bologne, France (9am TBC) and finishes in Dover, will take her around seven hours. Without the use of her hands, she sails the yacht with her mouth using a 'sip and puff' system - operated by a straw inside a mountain bike helmet - which has been engineered by her father.
'Natasha can't walk across the room unaided and yet on Monday she will be sailing from one country to another', explains her mum Amanda.
'When she is sailing Natasha is able to experience freedom and excitement and most importantly make decisions which she is unable to do in her everyday life. She's also grown in confidence and has made loads of friends. For her it's all about leaving her wheelchair on the pontoon and feeling free, she says it's wicked!'
Last year Natasha's sense for adventure inspired her to sail solo around the Isle of Wight raising over £17,000 for charity. This latest challenge sees her sailing across the Channel for the very first time and she has been out on the water training hard for the past few months, with her coach Phil who will be joining her onboard for the voyage.
Gary Lambert, Natasha's farther will also be playing his part as the driver of her safety boat.
Gary said: 'From the moment she first experienced sailing as a passenger in a dinghy, Natasha fell in love with being out on the water. Since then she was determined to find a way to be able to sail herself and as a family it has become a huge part of our lives. I am immensely proud of Tasha. Every time she goes out on the water I'm proud of her. She surprises me every time she gets to another mile stone. I'm proud of her determination, her skill and her courage'.
Natasha started sailing through RYA Sailability which supports opportunities for people with a disability to experience sailing and to sail more regularly. For more information visit www.rya.org.uk/sailability.

"I've been to Boston many times over the past few years. During those trips, my mission was to find the best clam chowder in the city," writes Debra Doyle of Avon Lake, Ohio. "I think I found it at Skipjack's restaurant. Theirs is rich and creamy, with just the right amount of potatoes."
Skipjack's calls for shucked fresh clams in their chowder; we've substituted canned clams, which are easier to use. Serve with oyster crackers, if desired.
Leave a Review
My family loved this. I skipped the butter, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. We don't like thick, heavy soups, so this turned out perfect!
I have made this recipe many times and it's always a hit! Very good while I was pregnant, as clams are very high in iron. I made a few modifications: --I halved it. The recipe is enough chowder to feed an army. Half the recipe was more than I could eat for several days. --I used a squeeze of sriracha sauce instead of hot pepper sauce. Use sparingly. --I only used one bottle of clam juice, and topped up the rest of the potato water with vegetable stock instead. This makes the recipe more affordable. --I put in a dash of worchestershire sauce. All clam chowder should have that.
I didn't like using the bacon grease, so I made them in a different pan, and drained the bacon for placing it in the soup. Enjoyed this recipe very much
Best chowdah recipe ever. period.
I made this last night as it seemed fitting to make for a snowy day/evening on the East Coast. I did make a few revisions based on other reviewer comments. I only used 2 bottles of clam juice, substituted heavy cream for half and half, and added several teaspoons of tabasco. My husband and I thought that this was really good. It made a lot - and we are looking forward to having the leftovers another night this week for dinner. Would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
This is an old favorite of mine. I was hesitant about adding the hot sauce but found that it adds an unexpected complexity that is that little something that takes this recipe from good to extraordinary. We went clamming in the Delaware Bay and ended up with a ton of clams (400 to be exact), so I made this in quantity. To make this from fresh clams I first steamed the clams. They gave off a shocking amount of juice. From there we pulled out the meat and chopped it (these were big clams) and proceeded with the recipe as directed. I actually ended up adding more clam juice because the broth was so tasty (and because we ended up with gallons of it from the 400 clams). Quadrupled the recipe and ended up with about 2 gallons of soup. Recipe increased nicely. Thanks to Skipjack's for sharing!!!
This soup was delicious! It was a little watery for my taste so I might cut back on the amount of clam juice/broth I added. I left out the bacon and it still was delicious! Can't wait to make it again.
Excellent recipe. I used more bacon and about a tablespoon more of flour. Also I found for the consistency that we like I only needed 2 jars of clam juice. Very very good.
Have made this many times, but always substitute the clam juice for chicken stock as clam juice is very expensive where I live. The recipe is simple and always turns out great.
fabo. no need for the cream ...just blend a cup or two

November 28, 2015
FORT MORGAN, Ala. (AP) - Authorities have identified a man who
died after he drove his SUV off a ferry dock as a Mobile County
middle school teacher.
Baldwin County sheriff's Maj. Anthony Lowery told the Mobile
Register that 34-year-old Louie Carvin Jr. was found early Sunday
morning in his partially submerged Saturn Vue after ferry passengers noticed the car in the water.
Lowery said there were no indications of foul play or suicide at the scene, and there was no sign that Carvin tried to brake before his car rolled into the water.
School districts officials say Carvin was a language arts teacher at Grand Bay Middle School. He had been with the system since 2003.
Lowery said officials are trying to retrace Carvin's activities
leading up to his death.

Learning from my poorest police work
The error I shared with my partner that night was one of mindset — as soon as we got the call, I labeled the event as a false alarm
All of us in the training and curriculum business are guilty of discovering the lowest common denominator. It's a necessary evil to accept that 70 percent may be a passing score for whatever skill or subject, or to sign off on a project that's "good enough for government work."
Let me suggest a way for trainers and supervisors to focus on results and raise the standard of expectation in real life.
I'll start by sharing one of the poorest pieces of police work I ever did.
A "False Alarm" Call
The manager — frustrated with these false alarms — had brought his seven-year-old son along for the adventure. We all walked into the building and made a straight path toward the alarm panel. I fanned to one side and John went off to the other and we walked the aisles. I heard the metal swinging door to the stock room and shouted to John, asking if that was him.
From another part of the store John said "What?"
That's how I knew that there were five of us in the building.
Now a frantic and earnest search commenced that ended with me arresting a recently released inmate who just couldn't wait to get back into the burglary business. He had made it to the sporting goods section, where he was trying to figure out how to get the cable lock off of the shotgun.
He had already found the ammo.
Following the Script
It was already scripted from the dozen other times I'd done the same thing. I was just checking the box, done and done. In fact I was responding to a burglary in progress and should have had that as my mental picture from the start.
How often do officers do a building search instead of a search for a suspect? Or go to an alarm call rather than a crime in progress call?
How often do we simply respond when we should be gathering intel and staging for the call? Do we merely secure a suspect or do we manage and restrain the suspect to prevent escape and assault?
Reflection, Not Reflexes
It may shake up some routines and help officers focus a little better.
For example, instead of asking if an officer searched a prisoner, ask "Are you totally certain that this person doesn't have anything that can hurt me?"
Or before leaving a scene, ask "Do you want to review the facts now so that you can testify about this incident in court six months from now?"
While one could make that sound insulting, don't use the same tone that you would use asking your five-year-old kid if they need to go potty before they leave the house. Rephrasing is a powerful cognitive tool to overcome a "checking the box" mentality.
Another way to reinforce basic skills and attitudes as a supervisor — or peer — on the street is to ask officers who were on the call with you if they would suggest whether you could have or should have done anything differently.
That takes the burden of self-incrimination off of them and helps them see the operation more objectively. It also models a learning and reflection process that makes every call a teachable moment.

November 26, 2015
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - A southwest Florida county manager has
resigned after sexually explicit e-mails were found on his work
computer following a public records request by the FBI.
Don Stilwell officially resigned on Tuesday, after 16 years as
the county manager for Lee County.
Commissioners had voted last week to terminate Stilwell's employment but offered him a three-month severance package to resign. He had a week with pay to consider the offer.
The e-mails came to light two weeks ago after the FBI requested
correspondence from Stilwell and three other county employees.
Among Stilwell's e-mails were sexually explicit images he had
received and forwarded.
Karen Hawes, Lee County director of human services, has been
named the interim county manager.
