Research interests: Computational statistics, smoothing methods, functional data analysis, wavelets, empirical Bayes, applications in many scientific areas
My early research was in smoothing methods, density estimation and nonparametric regression as well as in a variety of other areas in theoretical, computational and applied statistics. More recently, I have focused on two main areas. The first is Functional Data Analysis, which encompasses the notion of statistical problems where the data are functions or images rather than the scalars or vectors of conventional statistics. In two books (joint with Jim Ramsay of McGill University) and a number of papers I explored various aspects of this topic, which is not just a collection of problems but is also an overall way of thinking about this area in which we have no more than scratched the surface. The second is the utilisation of possible sparsity in parameter spaces of high dimension. Such parameter spaces occur particularly in wavelet methods in statistics, but the methods developed are of much wider applicability. My work in this area has been mostly in collaboration with Iain Johnstone (Stanford), and includes both theoretical results exploring various aspects of empirical Bayes, and other, approaches to the general adaptivity problem, and also practical work including the development of a software package EbayesThresh in R. My most recent research includes the use of the empirical Bayes approach to problems in graphical statistics; multiresolution analysis of time and space deformations; and applications of statistical approaches in genomics.
Since April 2010 I have been full-time Chief Scientific Adviser to the Home Office, a post with three aspects: to provide independent scientific advice to the Home Secretary and other Home Office ministers on the whole range of topics relevant to Home Office business; to lead Home Office Science, and to play a part in the interdepartmental network of Chief Scientific Advisers chaired by the Government Chief Scientific Adviser.

United Way helps Cedar Street Food Pantry
We just want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the United Way for their financial aid to our food pantry. For several years now, they have given us monies to help purchase foods for the pantry.
United Way has blessed our food pantry, and we are very grateful for their help. The need remains very strong for food in our area, and we would not be able to do what we do without the aid of the United Way. Our clients very much appreciate the additional food items that we purchase through the help of United Way.
Thanks, United Way!

UW funds help YSB build teamwork
Take a moment to think about the YSB alternative school. First thing that comes to mind is troubled teens with behavioral problems that are transferred from CCHS, right? Wrong, that is not right at all; actually, the YSB not only holds suspension kids in a separate room, but also takes in pregnant teens, teens who cannot work in the classroom environment, students that are behind on credits and kids who showed up late because of various reasons.
I go to the YSB because I, in fact, am a troubled teen and am behind on credits. I dabbled in with the wrong crowd and got in over my head; I ended up running away for various reasons, and was gone for a couple of weeks after school started. With me having only 19 credits and being a junior — you should have 28 — I wasn't really in the predicament to tell anybody what I wanted. I was about ready to run away and never look back, saying forget school, forget all of it. Then, my parents decided it would be best to live with my mom, so I was sent down here, in the middle of nowhere, just a rest stop for passing through semi drivers and tourists. And that is how my life started.
I started YSB and realizing that I could actually get help if I didn't understand a problem, and knowing that the teachers would actually drop what they're doing and help me until I understood really awed me and made me feel like I could. Like I could do this, like I could graduate school and never have to look back. The teachers made me look back and say, "What was I thinking?" If I'd run away, I wouldn't have the opportunity to be here right now. Working and striving for success.
Teamwork is working together to achieve a goal. Without the help of the United Way funds, we wouldn't be able to get to know any of the classmates, because we would be sucked up in computer screens all day. The United Way funds us with grants to go out on trips and use teamwork and work in groups to individually get to know our peers. United Way funds lets us go on field trips to different places, and we take advantage of that and use teamwork to better understand and know each other so we can become a unit and help each other succeed.

YSB staff 'believes' in students
The Crawford County Youth Service Bureau has benefited my education in many ways.
I can work on my classes online at my own pace, and I get all the help I need. At first, I thought asking questions made me feel stupid, but now that I am asking, I understand the lessons a lot more and I'm starting to not need as much help as I used to.
The staff does everything in their power to get you on the right track and make the time to have one-on-one time to help you understand what you are struggling with. I couldn't ask to be in a better school than where I am now.
Everybody says, "The YSB is for kids who are in slow classes." Well, let me tell you why you are wrong. We are not slow, we are behind on credits because we either are messing around in class or need more time to understand the subject. The YSB is a chance to catch up at your own pace and earn the credits you need in order to walk across the stage and get that diploma to prove the people wrong who told you that you wouldn't make it.
The YSB staff believes in me, and I've learned to believe in myself. I know they are doing everything they possibly can for me to wear that cap and gown. I appreciate each and every one of them for getting me where I am today.
A special thanks to United Way for giving us the opportunity to go on trips! We can now be educated AND have a blast doing it! Overall, my experience with the YSB has been something to remember. But, thanks to them, I am on my way to earning my cap and gown.
Thanks for everything.

United Way and Crawford 4-H
We share United Way's passion for improving the lives of all of our counties citizens. In order to reach this goal, our 4-H program is open to any child ages 5 to 18 who wishes to participate.
4-H kids are 2.3 times more likely to be physically active, two times more likely to go to college and 3.4 times more likely to contribute to their communities when compared with youth who do not participate in 4-H.
By continuing to work with United Way, we feel that we can increase the level of enrichment that our current members benefit from and increase the number of members in our program by continuing to offer the 4-H program free at the county level to all members. Each 4-H manual is used by the young people for three years until they move to the next level or division. As our program grows, the demand for manuals increases. Without funding from the United Way, we would not be able to sustain the program as we have in years past. Financially, we cannot afford to provide manuals for free without United Way's help. Without the manuals, much of the educational portion of our program would be lost.
4-H is not just about 4-H. It is about learning different projects, working with animals and the most important parts are the responsibility and friendships that are made being a part of a great group of kids, parents and volunteers. Many of our 10-year 4-H members go off to college and come back to our communities and continue to be a part of 4-H by becoming volunteers. That is what 4-H is all about.
We are grateful for the funds that are provided to us by United Way. Young people were able to be enrolled in 4-H this year and the parents did not have to worry about the financial responsibility of the cost of the 4-H manuals.

Congress erred in not providing VA more funding
With all this fuss about the inadequacies of the VA, I wish people would stop and think back a little farther.
I believe Congress erred in not authorizing adequate funding for the VA. And why was a greater amount of service about to be demanded? Because of two wars which subjected soldiers to repeated deployments. One war experience is enough (and more than) for body and psyche. Two, three or more assignments are going to do long-lasting and very possible permanent damage.
I suppose it might not be patriotic to question the necessity of those adventures which dumped their results on the current administration.

Former Extension educator clears the air
Back in May there was a meeting held between the Crawford County government officials and Purdue University Extension. At that time I was one of the educators in the county's office. As of July 19, 2014, I have left my position and the county; however, I would like to comment on a few things brought up during that meeting. These things are all my personal opinions and in no way reflect thoughts or feeling of the Extension Office or Purdue Extension.
Firstly, it was brought up about how horrible the district director (Natalie Fowler) had been and that she was the reason the county has gone through so many educators. I know some of why others left, and I think that there is very little that was directly caused by her actions. I would like to assure you that she has nothing to do with my leaving Extension. I am tired of not knowing if I am still going to have a position at the end of each year because of fighting between county council and county commissioners and their political problems. I realize that there are budget issues, but I am sure we can all agree that this is not the main reason for stringing decisions out so long when it came to educators' positions. If this happened before I took my position, I am surprised educators stayed as long as they did, before me.
Secondly, it was brought up that the reports we had previously turned in were false because "one of the educators" reported working 360 days and she had gotten married and that there was no way someone worked that many days in one year. That is correct. There is no way I (as I am the one who was married) worked 360 days in one year. However, if they would have actually looked at the initial report, it was for 17 months, not one year. And, yes, I did work that amount of days over 17 months. Actually, if I had recorded every single hour I worked instead of just the actual activities, it would have been much more. I, as an educator, was being paid $44,000 a year. With the hours that we put in as educators, that averages out to a little less than $4/hour. With all the nonsense I have had to endure while employed there, I determined it is not even close to enough!
Next, it was also brought up that the county or the Extension Board has no say in choosing the educators they receive. It was also said that they wanted (another applicant) and instead received Carol Judd. Firstly, Carol did not interview against (this person); I did. Carol was the only person who interviewed for the HHS (Health Human Sciences) position. (The other applicant) and I interviewed for the ANR (Agriculture Natural Resources) position. It is true that the Extension Board favored (the other applicant), but they also said they would be fine with either, but had concerns about someone as young as I am coming into the position. I can guarantee you that anyone who has not been given an interview in the past either did not give proper education/experience, or did not actually apply through the Purdue system in the first place.
Finally, I think some of you are still very confused on how the contractual services are used. Many times in meetings or as quoted in the paper the services are referred to as educators' "salaries." While the county is paying for us being here, they are not contributing to anything directly for our salaries. With the amount they pay, they are not even covering one educator's "salary" amount. The money paid through the service agreement goes for "services" as stated in the title. Granted, they then pay for mileage, supplies, etc., but all of those things are then used for the community that you serve. Even if they pay this agreed upon amount, they are not then in charge of the Extension Office or the educators. When they have issues, I would encourage them to attend Extension Board meetings, just as they "tell" us to attend theirs.
If they would go to other counties and ask them how Extension works in their communities, they will find all I am telling you is accurate.
The majority of other counties also do not have to give their monthly/weekly/daily schedules to county government either. I understand them wanting to know what we are doing in your communities, but educators already have supervisors, and VERY busy schedules, so the extra time to write a special report and get a calendar ready in advance is a bit much, in my opinion.
I would also like to note that there are only three people currently employed in the Extension Office; Jackie Young (FNP) Carol Judd (HHS/CED) and Randi Howe (office manager). When you have questions about agricultural-related subjects, health, questions, 4-H questions or other topics you think Extension can help with, please call them directly. We have had some volunteers who are now being confused as employees of the office or even as educators themselves. This is not the case. If it is not one of these three ladies, they are not an Extension employee. Hopefully, this will clear up some confusion about who actually has authority in the office and in Extension.
I have done my best to be very calm and polite during my two years in Crawford County, but at times it has truly felt as though they were bullying, and I did not find it right to leave without speaking my mind. Extension brings so many great things into your county, especially since you do not have many other organizations here. Why would they want to push so hard and drive folks out, when you have such a good thing? I hope that you will continue to work with Purdue to build a stronger relationship and to get as much out of the services offered as possible. There are so many amazing people in this community, and Extension is here to help them.

'Precious' part of county being destroyed
When I was young, our family went on an annual pilgrimage every autumn to Brown County State Forest to enjoy the colors. The hills rolled with color, fog and pure beauty. Then, when I was older, my husband and I "discovered" Crawford County. We've been here 30 years, and while we'll never be "from here," it is home and we love it and Brown County has nothing on it. Well, maybe had nothing on it.
Less than a mile from our home, 1,500 acres are being logged. National Forest land is apparently not safe either. Sold or traded, this precious hunk of our county is being destroyed. Legal or not, and I have no idea which, it still digs a hole in my idea of what is ethical.
All over the world, great forests are being brought to their knees for short-term benefit to a few at the expense of future generations. The oceans are becoming more acidic so they can't provide the oxygen they once did, so that leaves the forests, and we are leveling them at a frightening rate worldwide.
On our small acreage here, we have recycled, planted thousands of trees, helped bring about 15 acres of worn cropland back to forest, gone organic; in other words, tried to be good neighbors and good citizens. Someone who exploits a land mass such as 1,500 acres for profit is not in my view, a good neighbor and what is ethical should go beyond government mandate. Destruction is still destruction.
Most places aren't like this. People come here to see the trees because of that. The greatest resource Crawford County could ever have is the people strong enough to stand for the trees, to keep this precious heritage for their/our kids and show the world how it's done. The world is running low on opportunities for this. Surely there is something that can be done if we care.
Has this place been checked for Indian burial sites yet? They are all around here. Was this land put up for public sale at any point? How did this happen?
This is an awful lot of land in a time when forests are becoming endangered. At best it is a tragedy and a terrible loss for our beautiful community.

Political correctness annoying, but bigotry worse
Chris Adams writes that there is intolerance in political correctness and, in some cases, I'm sure that's true. But when it comes to being firm in dealing with bigotry, I disagree.
Extreme fundamentalism isn't a rare thing in this country and, if the majority of people were not pushing against gays enjoying the same rights as married hetero couples, then it wouldn't be such a struggle in so many states for them to get those rights. I agree that Jason and David Benham shouldn't have been kicked off HGTV for their bigotry, but that people should at least be aware of where they stand so as not to promote what they may disagree with. Bigotry disguised as values or faith is still bigotry. I would also want to know if someone who's show I may watch uses the 'N' word, as well.
Political correctness is annoying, while bigotry usually leads to worse actions further down the line. People have been and still are being harassed and killed. I don't believe in eating cows or pigs or chickens, but I don't try to pass legislation saying everyone should eat that way. The whole world doesn't want to be Christian and hetero any more than the whole world would want to wear burkas. No one spoke up against a Christian who called for the ostracism, then the loss of rights, then the death of people his faith thought were deviant and not in line with Christian values. His name was Hitler.

American College of Physicians' Electronic Medical Resource Ranked No. 1 Evidence-Based Tool by MLA's South Central Chapter
ACP's PIER Tops Among 13 Point-of-Care Clinical Products
PHILADELPHIA, November 7, 2006 – The South Central Chapter of the Medical Library Association named ACP's Physician's Information and Education Resource (PIER) as the leading evidence-based medicine point-of-care tool.
The study, "Systematic Evaluation for Evidence-Based Medicine Tools for Point-of-Care," rated PIER highest in all four categories (general information, content, searching ability, and results) of the evaluation compared to 13 other major evidence-based medicine resources.
"Earning this distinction is a testament of how valuable PIER is to our members, and how hard we've worked to make it that way," said John Tooker, MD, MBA, FACP, Executive Vice President/CEO, ACP. "PIER continues to grow and evolve, and we're proud of its capacity to provide authoritative, evidence-based guidance to improve clinical care."
In addition to receiving the highest composite rating, PIER ranked first in all three subcategories (characteristics of evidence, importance, and level of content and features). The top grade given by the South Central Chapter is significant, as the national organization represents more than 1,100 institutions in the health sciences information field.
PIER is a point-of-care, Web-based decision-support tool that contains 425 modules that provide guidance and information on more than 300 diseases and conditions. PIER modules also contain information on ethical and legal issues, complementary and alternative medicine, and screening, prevention and procedures.
In addition to regular features, PIER recently added two new resources. "Quality Measures" help physicians understand and navigate the "starter set" of measures for assessing and improving ambulatory care. "Clinical Presentations" are modules designed to help clinicians review differential diagnoses of symptoms and laboratory abnormalities.
Library science researchers from the Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library, Texas Health Science Libraries Consortium, University of Texas Harris County Psychiatric Center Psychiatry Library, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Research Medical Library, and University of Texas Medical Branch (Moody Medical Library) performed the study.
For more information on PIER, visit here.
The American College of Physicians is the largest medical specialty organization and the second-largest physician group in the United States. ACP members include 120,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), related subspecialists, and medical students. Internists specialize in the prevention, detection, and treatment of illness in adults.

European Committee Bans Single-Shelled Eggs -- April Fool's Day, 2003
The European Committee issued a communique in which it declared that it was banning single-shelled eggs, in order to prevent cracked eggs being found in food stores. The ban was a play on the French word "coque" which means both egg shell and ship's hull.

Editor's review
Wroclaw's splendid Gothic Town Hall is the cynosure of the Market Square, and for centuries the most important building in the city. It was under the Town Hall's vaulted ceiling and sculpted pillars that the Wroclaw's political big wigs debated difficult decisions through the ages, and guests of honour were received. More recently John Paul II himself paid a visit. Today the building has lost its political functions and tourists are allowed to ogle at the splendid interiors of rooms such as the Burgher's Hall and the Great Hall, visit the Museum of City Art or sample some finely fermented hops at the famous cellar bar, Piwnica Swidnicka. On the outside have your camera at the ready for the 66m tower, the astronomical clock and a wealth of amusing decorative motifs.

I have an etching in color of the famous Town Hall. It was where my mother lived and where my parents got their marriage license,(1924-1926)
Boris Goldmund from United States Reply
I grew up with a drawing of this famous city hall on our living room wall as my mother lived in Breslau. When I saw it myself it surpassed my expectation. It is beautiful and the restaurant downstairs EXQUISITE!
Mekalia from United States Reply
And one more thing to add is that I believe it must have been hard to make for I had a project where we had to reconstruct towers and it was very hard
Mekalia from United States Reply
I think the architectual design is amazing, the structure is well supported, and the building is the most remarkable town/city hall I have ever laid eyes on

Now THAT's what I call a town hall! Gorgeous.

One nice thing about right now, is because all of the little kids who were diagnosed as Aspies 10, 15, 18 years ago are hitting adulthood, there are far more resources available for late teen/early 20s Aspies.

British company building electric Range-extended Rovers
We have a few reservations about Liberty Electric Cars' plan to convert Range Rovers to extended-range Rovers in the U.K. While we applaud the idea of using electric vehicles in urban environments, it seems a little counter-productive to start with a large, heavy 4x4 like the Range Rover. Still, if the company is able to pull of its stated goal of creating 250 jobs along with "tens of thousands" of electric vehicles, we're all for it. To make this rather ambitious goal a reality, Liberty has invested £30 million into the "re-engineering" of the Rovers. A brand new electric drivetrain is being worked up, which is said to allow up to 200 miles of range on electricity alone for the Liberty Range Rover. Pricing starts at £95,000, and for £125,000, the company can fit the Landie with a range-extending generator, which makes the machine similar in concept to the much-hyped Chevy Volt. For those who can afford a $187,000 to $246,000 USD all-electric SUV, this is great news. For the rest of us, we hope these large electric luxury machines will allow for the adoption of smaller, lighter and therefore less expensive conversions in the near future.
[Source: Liberty Electric Cars Ltd. via AutoblogGreen]
Eden Project Green Car Show: Newly formed Liberty Electric Cars Ltd is investing £30 million in the re engineering of large luxury cars and 4 x 4s into emission-free, high performance electric vehicles. The company will design and manufacture a unique electric drive-train platform to power a wide range of large vehicles, which will also have the flexibility to incorporate emerging technologies. Annual vehicle production, which will include the world's first zero emission, electrically powered Range Rover, will be in tens of thousands and will create around 250 new technology and manufacturing jobs.
Barry Shrier, Liberty founder and CEO says; "The Liberty Electric Range Rover takes electric vehicle technology into a new sector, to large luxury cars that people aspire to drive, particularly in cities and urban environments where environmental controls are becoming increasingly tighter. The Liberty Electric Range Rover will drive cleanly and quietly around roads and cities, free of tax, congestion and parking charges, making less environmental impact than even the smallest, most fuel efficient car, yet still offering the comfort and security of a luxury 4 x 4."
Liberty electric cars will incorporate state of the art energy storage and management systems, which the company will also offer to other vehicle manufacturers, commercial fleet operators and emergency response organisations. They will deliver superior performance and acceleration compared with existing technology. Liberty electric cars will have extended driving range and shorter recharge times. The Liberty Range Rover will power its way through 200 miles before needing a charge, and some models will carry on board range extending generators. Costs will range between £95,000 and £125,000 depending on model and specification.
The market for electric cars is still in its early stages, however exponential growth is expected as legislation, social awareness and technological advances accelerate change in transport choices.
Electric vehicles have 80 per cent lower running costs than petrol cars. Electrical power is also a more efficient source of power, as petrol engines only use around 25 per cent of their energy to create motion - the vast majority is lost in heat and the mechanical movement of the engine and transmission. Electric motors deliver 90 per cent efficiency.
An electric motor also provides superior acceleration because unlike a petrol engine it does not need to be revved, in order to achieve full power. The power (torque) is instantly available at all times. This is why petrol engines use electric starter motors!
Liberty Electric Cars' management team is led by Barry Shrier, founder and CEO. Barry Shrier is a technology entrepreneur and a well educated and charismatic leader, with proven board-level general management experience. As managing director at Deutsche Bank, he developed the mobile payment system – Pay Box. He is also a non executive director of Washington-based satellite technology company Leo Terra LLC.
Barry Shrier is an active member of the Institute of Directors. He has an MSc in Philosophy from the London School of Economics, and a BA in Politics from Middlebury College, Vermont, USA.
Since July 2007, Shrier has focussed his considerable expertise on the development of zero emission cars, through the creation of Liberty Electric Cars Ltd.
He is joined by Peter Sylvester, a former finance director of Harley Davidson, BMW and Rover and Ian Hobday, who has a background in international sales and marketing that spans careers with BASF and Arch Chemicals Inc, where he was global managing director of the coatings business.
Lord Anthony St John of Bletso LLM chairs the company's advisory committee, which includes former science minister Ian Taylor MBE, MP and a number of experts in electric vehicle system design.
Liberty Electric Cars has been established to respond to the rapidly expanding demand for zero and low emission cars. Worldwide concern about global warming and climate change is growing enormously. Individuals and businesses are taking steps to lower their carbon emissions, and Governments are now legislating to change consumer purchasing and behaviour.
The electric car market is moving out of its early adoption phase and electric cars will soon be part of mainstream sales. However the major area of product development is in small 'city' type cars, with compromised performance and functionality. Liberty will focus on zero emission cars that satisfy the family, luxury and sports cars sectors, such as the Range Rover.
Liberty Electric Cars will engineer electric propulsion into existing vehicle platforms, replacing the internal combustion engine with electrical power. This approach has less environmental impact than creating a new range of vehicles. It also lets customers drive the vehicle they want, without additional cost to the environment.
A number of UK manufacturing locations are under consideration, including south west
England. Manufacturing will be managed in a way that makes as little environmental impact as possible, with much of the assembly work taking place alongside key suppliers' existing operations.

Highly Qualified, Diverse Candidates Selected to Serve Across the State
ANNAPOLIS, MD (December 22, 2011) – Governor Martin O'Malley announced today the appointment of Robert N. ("Bob") McDonald, the Chief Counsel of Opinions and Advice for the Office of the Attorney General, to the Court of Appeals, Maryland's highest court. Governor O'Malley also announced the elevation of the Honorable Stuart R. Berger to the Court of Special Appeals and the appointment of eight Circuit Court judges who will serve in Baltimore County, Frederick County, Harford County, Howard County, Montgomery County, and St. Mary's County. These appointees have a diverse array of legal experiences, and all of the appointees bring exceptional qualifications to their new jobs. They also represent the wide ethnic, gender, and geographic diversity of Maryland.
Over the last several months, Governor O'Malley conducted numerous interviews with candidates recommended to him by the appellate courts nominating commission and the trial court judicial nominating commissions. All of the judges selected to serve in Maryland's judiciary were recommended to him by the commissions.
For the Court of Appeals, Governor O'Malley appointed Robert N. McDonald to represent the Second Appellate Circuit (Baltimore and Harford Counties). Mr. McDonald will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Joseph F. Murphy, Jr. Prior to this appointment, Mr. McDonald served for approximately 15 years as the chief counsel of opinions and advice for the Maryland Office of the Attorney General. In this position, he writes or edits all formal opinions of the Attorney General's Office – opinions that analyze many of the most difficult legal questions that confront the State of Maryland. He also provides less formal legal advice to all segments of state government on a wide array of important issues.
"Bob McDonald possesses one of the best legal minds in the entire state and has an impressive record of public service," said Governor O'Malley. "He is regarded by his peers as an expert in Maryland law as well as fair, impartial, and intellectually honest. He has already shown an ability to logically and thoroughly consider some of the State's most important legal issues, and he has particular knowledge about how court decisions affect the operations of State government and the lives of Maryland's citizens. I know that Bob McDonald will be an asset to the Court of Appeals."
Prior to becoming Chief of Opinions and Advice, Mr. McDonald served as the Maryland Securities Commissioner, Chief of the Antitrust Division at the Office of the Attorney General, and Principal Counsel to the Maryland Department of Transportation. Mr. McDonald also served for nine years as an Assistant United States Attorney and Executive United States Attorney with the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland. With the U.S. Attorney's Office, Mr. McDonald prosecuted fraud, white collar crime, narcotics, and espionage cases. He also has experience as a litigator in private practice. Mr. McDonald graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1977 and served as a clerk for the Honorable Frank A. Kaufman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
For his outstanding career of public service to the State of Maryland and the Office of the Attorney General, Mr. McDonald received the J. Joseph Curran, Jr. Outstanding Career Service Award in 2007.
For the Court of Special Appeals, Governor O'Malley has elevated Judge Stuart Ross Berger, currently serving on the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, to fill the at-large vacancy created by the appointment of Judge Hollander to the United States District Court. Judge Berger has served with distinction as a Circuit Court Judge since 1998. He also has been designated to sit temporarily on the Court of Special Appeals on numerous occasions. Prior to his appointment to the bench, Judge Berger worked in private practice, litigating a wide variety of civil and criminal cases. He received his law degree from the University of Baltimore in 1984.
"Judge Berger is unquestionably one of the finest trial judges in the State," said Governor O'Malley. "He has a reputation as a smart, hardworking, thoughtful, and fair judge, and he has presided over a vast array of matters involving complex legal issues in many different areas. I have no doubt that Judge Berger will be an excellent appellate jurist."
Judge Berger is active in the community. He has served as the director of the Baltimore Courthouse and Law Museum Foundation and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Zanvyl & Isabelle Krieger Fund, a non-profit organization providing funding for social projects in Baltimore City. He is a frequent speaker and lecturer at various universities, association meetings, and bar programs. He also received the Daily Record's Maryland Leadership in Law Award in 2006.
In Baltimore County, Governor O'Malley has appointed Judge Nancy Purpura and Justin James King to serve on the Circuit Court and fill the vacancies of Judge Thomas J. Bollinger and Judge Robert Dugan, respectively.
Judge Purpura has served on the District Court for Baltimore County since 2001, where she has handled a wide variety of cases including criminal, civil, domestic violence, and zoning matters. Before her appointment to the District Court, Judge Purpura spent most of her career as a criminal defense attorney. She first worked in the Baltimore County Public Defender's Office as a trial attorney handling juvenile and Circuit Court criminal cases, as well as civil contempt proceedings. As she became more experienced, Judge Purpura gained a special expertise in death penalty cases, forensic science (including DNA identification techniques) and mental health issues. Judge Purpura earned her degree from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1984.
Mr. King is a career public servant with 30 years of experience with the Baltimore City Law Department. He currently serves as the Deputy Chief of Litigation and the Chief of the Baltimore City Central Bureau of Investigation. In addition to his full-time job, Mr. King maintains a limited part-time solo practice with a concentration in wills and estates, personal injury, zoning, traffic-related criminal defense, domestic relations, and contract law. Mr. King graduated from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1980.
In Frederick County, Governor O'Malley has appointed William Rogers Nicklas, Jr. to the Circuit Court. For the past 32 years, Mr. Nicklas has worked as a partner in a Frederick County-based boutique firm. His wide-ranging practice includes personal injury litigation, wrongful death, workers compensation, family law, civil litigation, adoption law, and criminal defense. Earlier in his career, Mr. Nicklas served as an Assistant State's Attorney in Frederick County and as a law clerk in the Criminal Division of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General. Mr. Nicklas earned his degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1976.
In Harford County, Governor O'Malley has appointed Melba Elizabeth ("Beth") Bowen to the Circuit Court. Ms. Bowen has been a prosecutor with the Harford County State's Attorney's Office for the past 29 years, and has served as a supervisor in both the Circuit Court and District Court divisions. Since 1993, Ms. Bowen also has served as the Chairman of the Board of the Harford County Child Advocacy Center, a multi-disciplinary unit which brings together prosecutors, police officers, social workers, forensic interviewers, counselors and a pediatrician to investigate sexual and physical child abuse as a team. She received her law degree from the University of Maryland School of Law.
In Howard County, Governor O'Malley has appointed Master William Vincent Tucker to the Circuit Court. Mr. Tucker has been a Master in Chancery for the Circuit Court of Howard County since 2004. Master Tucker previously spent seven years as a prosecutor for the Howard County State's Attorney's Office and received the "Distinguished Service Award" as "Prosecutor of the Year." He has also litigated family law, juvenile, and criminal law matters as a private litigator. Prior to attending law school, Master Tucker served as a police officer in Hillsborough Township, New Jersey. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for HC Drugfree, a 503(c) non-profit organization that educates parents and provides resources and information to parents on how to raise drug-free children.
In Montgomery County, Governor O'Malley has appointed Anne Korbel Albright and Gary Eugene Bair to serve on the Circuit Court and fill the vacancies of Judge Durke G. Thompson and Judge Thomas Lewis Craven, respectively.
Since 1996, Ms. Albright has been a managing member and co-founder of Albright and Rhodes, LLC, a small Rockville-based firm concentrating in family, criminal, and immigration matters in the state, federal, and administrative courts of Maryland and Washington, D.C. Earlier in her career, Ms. Albright specialized in criminal defense, including a period of service as an Assistant Public Defender in Montgomery County. After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center in 1987, Ms. Albright served as law clerk for the Honorable Norman P. Ramsey of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
Since 2004, Mr. Bair has been engaged in private practice in Greenbelt. Prior to that, Mr. Bair served for over 20 years as an Assistant Attorney General in the Office of the Maryland Attorney General. Notably, Mr. Bair served as Chief and then Solicitor General of the Criminal Appeals Division, at which time he successfully argued a Fourth Amendment case before the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Bair has personally appeared in hundreds of cases in the Court of Special Appeals and the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Bad Bugs: Facts About Food Safety (Part 2)
Amy Campbell
November 12, 2012
Forty-eight million Americans get sick every year by eating contaminated food, according to a US Public Interest Research Group report. With jars of peanut butter, packages of hamburger, and bags of spinach being recalled with what seems like increasing frequency, you'd think that most of us would be in a panic about eating. But according to one survey, only 25% of us are extremely or very concerned about the safety of the food supply, while 60% of us are only slightly concerned. The reality is that we all have to eat, and it doesn't pay to be scared to put food in our mouths. Food safety, though, is something we all need to be aware of.
Last week I highlighted a few of the heavy-hitters in terms of bacteria that can make good food go bad. This week, I wanted to mention a few other foodborne illnesses not caused by bacteria, but by other bad things: viruses.
Viral Gastroenteritis
• Watery diarrhea
These symptoms set in about one to two days after you've been infected and they can last up to 10 days, although most of us recover after a couple of days. And for most people, a GI infection is usually not serious unless you happen to be an infant, a young child, or an older adult. The risk is dehydration in these folks. Also, people with compromised immune systems (including people with diabetes) may be at a higher risk for a more serious infection, meaning that symptoms can be much worse. Here are two of the top viruses that can keep you hanging out in the bathroom for a few days:
Norovirus. About half of the cases of gastroenteritis are caused by this virus. Common places to pick up this virus include cruise ships, nursing homes, schools, and restaurants. Norovirus is highly contagious and is usually spread in the following ways:
• Consuming contaminated foods or beverages (salads, salad dressings, sandwiches, bakery items, steamed clams, oysters, fruits, and vegetables are common culprits)
• Touching a surface or an object that have been contaminated with the virus, then touching your hands to your mouth
• Touching a person who has the virus, such as caring for someone with an infection or sharing their eating utensils
There's no treatment for this virus. Antibiotics do no good because they only treat bacterial infections. If you have it, you need to let it run its course. You can boost your chances of avoiding this virus by practicing good hand washing (or using alcohol-based hand sanitizers when hand washing isn't doable), washing fruits and vegetables thoroughly, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces that may be contaminated, and washing clothes and linens that may be contaminated, too.
Rotavirus. This virus is the leading cause of diarrhea in infants and children, but it can infect anyone. Infants, children, the elderly, and those with immune-compromised systems are most often hit with severe symptoms, which usually include fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Hospitalization may be needed to treat dehydration. Here's how you pick up this pest:
• Person-to-person spread, often via day care centers, nursing homes, and hospitals
• Consuming poorly handled food that's likely to be uncooked, such as salads and fruit
• Touching surfaces or objects that may be contaminated (often from people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet)
As with norovirus, rotavirus has to run its course. Drinking plenty of fluids is important with any foodborne illness to prevent dehydration. If a person is unable to keep fluids down, IV fluids (given in an ER or hospital) may be needed.
Hepatitis A
You can get hepatitis A by:
• Eating or drinking food and beverages tainted with the virus, such as water, shellfish, salad, cold cuts, milk, and fruits
• Handling soiled diapers
• Working in a health-care, food, or sewage facility
• Traveling to certain parts of the world, especially Asia or South or Central America
Hepatitis A is infectious, and because symptoms can take a while (15 to 50 days) to set in, an infected person can easily spread the virus without knowing it. Fortunately, symptoms are mild in most people and recovery occurs in about one to two weeks, although it may take longer for some people. The virus doesn't stick around in the body, either. There is no treatment, but infection can be prevented by getting the hepatitis A vaccine.
Next week: keeping bad bugs at bay!
Excellent part part 2 expose. That said, when I was healthier - nee serius T2 diabetes, bugs and eating out did not seem a big deal. That is with a proper working defense system. There is today - no doubt in my mind, that ones defenses under serious type 2 really leades to a weak immune system. My sense is that I have to be far more agressive preventing, treating and equally on guard for extra highs and lows of the glucose as the chemical plant gets disrupted with the pests. With a strong healthy immune system - letting things take their coarse is logical, wise, cost effective and workable. With a comprimised immune system, my take is such an approach without extra vigilence is dangerous and inappropriate. It is alo most important to have medical support that respects those issues and treats accordingly.

Each month, or ovarian cycle, the ovaries produce about 20 ova which are housed inside fluid filled sacs called follicles.
In the first half of the ovarian cycle, they begin to mature, one will outgrow the others and once matured will rupture. The remaining follicles will shrivel up, causing the eggs inside to die.
It is between the ages of eleven and fifteen of a young women's life, that the stimulation between the hypothalamus and pituitary glands have enough strength to cause a follicle to rupture and cause an egg cell to be released. This initial egg cell is called an ovum.
When does ovulation occur?
Ovulation occurs about 400 times throughout the course of a woman's life, and although most of her egg cells are never used, by about the age of 50, out of the original half million eggs, there are no healthy ova left.
It occurs about every 28 days and approximately 14 days before the start of your period. In other words, about half way through your menstrual cycle.
Ovulation actually occurs pretty quickly, usually within a minute or two. It is the release of an egg from either of the alternating ovaries and is part of the regular menstrual cycle.
What happens after ovulation?
After ovulation occurs, the ruptured follicle that caused the egg to be released is then stimulated by the luteinising hormone, which is a second pituitary hormone. It contains thousands of tiny cells that provide nourishment and protection to the ovum and causes the follicle to develop into the corpus luteum.
The corpus luteum is a yellowish organ that is responsible for producing progesterone, which is the second ovarian hormone, it also produces smaller amounts of oestrogen. Progesterone is essential for the development of the embryo.
When these two hormones build up, they thicken the lining of the uterus to prepare for the arrival of the fertilized egg.
If the egg doesn't get fertilized the corpus luterum will remain for another ten days and will then stop producing hormones. Without the circulation of oestrogen and progesterone, the lining inside of the uterus begins to break down and is then shed with the start of the new menstruation cycle.
If a embryo has been planted on the lining of the uterus, the corpus luteum continues to release progesterone. Progesterone is vital to keep the pregnancy healthy, it also stops the menstrual cycle from occuring.

Suspected kidnapper found dead
A suspected kidnapper killed himself in Lexington early Monday morning.
Erick Lehr, 32, was suspected of kidnapping a woman in High Point. According to Lexington Police, the woman said Lehr kidnapped her in High Point and took her to the area near 130 Lexington Parkway where police were dispatched around 12:30 a.m. Lehr ran once the first officer arrived, police said. The woman that was kidnapped by Lehr is safe.
Lexington police officers searched for Lehr in the area on the ground and by air Monday around Lexington Business Park with help from Davidson County Sheriff's Office, the North Carolina Highway Patrol, and the North Carolina Department of Corrections.
About 8 a.m., Lexington Police officers found Lehr in a storage room at the rear of the Gulf Station, a convenience store at 363 Hargrave Road. Lehr was dead. It appeared that Lehr had shot himself with a gun.
High Point Police Capt. Mike Kirk said that Lehr was a High Point resident and Lehr and the woman he kidnapped had a prior domestic relationship, most likely boyfriend and girlfriend.
This investigation is still ongoing and the Lexington Police Department is being assisted by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Victor Canning was primarily a writer of thrillers, and wrote his many books under the pseudonyms Julian Forest and Alan Gould. Among his immediate contemporaries were Eric Ambler, Alistair Maclean and Hammond Innes.
Canning was a prolific writer throughout his career, which began young: he had sold several short stories by the age of nineteen and his first novel, Mr Finchley Discovers His England (1934) was published when he was twenty-three. Canning also wrote for children: his The Runaways trilogy was adapted for US children's television.
Canning's later thrillers were darker and more complex than his earlier work and received great critical acclaim. The Rainbird Pattern was awarded the CWA Silver Dagger in 1973 and nominated for an Edgar award in 1974.
In 1976 The Rainbird Pattern was transformed by Alfred Hitchcock into the comic film The Family Plot, which was to be Hitchcock's last film. Several of Canning's other novels including Golden Salamander (1949) were also made into films during Canning's lifetime.
