Career Research Highlights
Independent Research
Since 2007, Richard Davies has developed a strong track record researching the risks associated with oil and gas activities. From 2007 to 2010 he led an international team that showed that the Lusi mud volcano was almost certainly triggered by conventional gas drilling activity rather than being a natural disaster. He is now working on the risks associated with fracking. He is staunchly agnostic about whether or not fracking is a technology that nation states use. His role is to remain unbiased and seek to do the best science possible to help inform the public, governments and other decision makers.
Richard Davies spent 7 years in the petroleum industry in Aberdeen, London and Houston with ExxonMobil working on development and exploration projects. This included working on the Shearwater Field (North Sea), wildcat explorations wells west of Shetlands and deepwater Nigeria exploration.
Richard Davies has spear headed the use of 3D seismic reflection data and visualisation in geoscience research. His focus recently has been on gas hydrates. Since 2007 he has published several papers on the risks associated with oil and gas exploitation, including risks linked to fracking.
Richard Davies' main role at Durham University has been in building cross-department and cross faculty research research in energy. This started in the field of geo-energy (e.g. fossil fuels, carbon capture and storage) and more recently has been across a spectrum of energy research, with the development of Durham Energy Institute (DEI). Davies' remit has been to build DEI from concept to a fully functioning and high achieving energy institute which is Nationally and Internationally significant. This has included development and roll out of effective governance, raising internal and external profile, attracting significant new funding for posts, getting recognition in UK government and enabling and triggering new research opportunities.
Since 2008 DEI has undergone spectacular growth and now involves 107 researchers across 12 departments. Research income for 2010 was almost £9M. Highlights in 2010 were collaborating on winning a £54M grant on Low Carbon Networks (DEI lead - Phil Taylor); £1M funding from DONG Energy for a Prof of Renewable Energy and £0.6M from Eaga for a Prof of Low Carbon Communities. DEI works closely with UK Research Councils and the private sector. It was officially launched by the Rt. Hon. Chris Huhne, Secretary of State, Energy & Climate Change on 28th March 2011.

The Bowl Championship Series computer thinks Missouri is the best college football team in the country. So, too, do a group of pollsters who are charged with the weekly task of rating teams.Down on the Las Vegas Strip, though, the Tigers aren't even rated the best team in their next game, against No. 9 Oklahoma. For decades, people who follow college football have tried to figure out surefire ways to crown legitimate national champions, with varying degrees of success. In recent years, the BCS has taken over with a system that forgoes a playoff in favor of computers and polls. There are, of course, better ways. Here's one: Why not just turn it over to the oddsmakers, who rate with their wallets instead of a ballot. 'We do it for a living. If we send out bad numbers we're going to lose clients,' said Mike Seba, senior oddsmaker at Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which sets much of the Vegas line. 'We have to be right.' Being right in this case means Oklahoma is a 3-point favorite against Missouri in a game the Tigers must win to get in the BCS championship. Bettors seem to be in agreement with it if the wagers so far are any indication. But don't stop there. Southern Cal is ranked No. 8 in the BCS and doesn't have a shot at the national title game after two midseason losses. Put the Trojans on a neutral field with Missouri right now, and USC would be at least a 3-point favorite and possibly more to beat the No. 1 team in the country. The same goes for once-beaten Ohio State. 'The polls are just a measuring stick for popularity,' said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Las Vegas Hilton. 'It's like voting for prom queen.' The polls sometimes give you great matchups, like Texas-USC two years ago. But this year's possible title game likely will have little outside of two awfully small media markets in Missouri and West Virginia. But network executives say no matter the matchup, the game likely will draw roughly 30 million viewers and dominate that night's schedule. Fox is paying $80 million this year for four of the five BCS games, including the Jan. 7 national title game in New Orleans. Last year, it got a premier matchup between Florida and Ohio State for its money. Of course, everything about the championship game could change next weekend. If Oklahoma beats Missouri and West Virginia is upset by rival Pittsburgh, the third- and fourth-place teams in the BCS standings are likely to move into the title game. And while one is Ohio State, the other is Georgia, a team that didn't even get into its own conference title game. 'That would probably be the nightmare scenario,' said Charles Davis, who will be in the Fox booth as an analyst for the BCS title game. Davis believes USC is probably the best team in the country right now, but the way the BCS system is set up it is almost impossible for a team with two losses to make the title game. That has purists screaming for a playoff system that would clearly identify the best two teams the way it is done in college basketball. Davis said the current system works to the extent that people are at least talking about possible matchups this week. 'If someone earns their way in, what's the downside?' he asked. 'BYU won it all in 1984 and the earth did not spin off its axis.' BYU won its championship doing the same thing Hawaii is doing this year - beating everyone else, something that has gotten Hawaii only a No. 12 ranking in the BCS. The Cougars didn't even play in a major bowl, winning the Holiday Bowl, but were voted in The Associated Press final poll as the top team in the country. This season's Rose Bowl could end up being the most intriguing of the bowls, assuming USC beats UCLA this weekend and Ohio State doesn't move into the BCS title game. The Rose Bowl traditionally gets the highest ratings of any of the bowl games except the BCS championship game, which will be played six days later in prime time and have the entire college audience to itself.

So I just met this wonderfully nice woman last night at our twins group meeting. It was her first meeting and she is 26 weeks pregnant with mono/mono twins. She was telling me that starting today, she has to go in every single day for ultrasounds and testing. She also said that her doctor just about guarenteed her bed rest (hospital, not home) and right off the bat told them that their chances of taking home two babies are not great. I know mono/mono twins have more risk for complications, but is it really that dangerous or is her doctor a little insensitive? I'm just curious. I feel so badly for her!
Mono/Mono twins?
WOW! That is sad.
Single mom to: Boy 12 , Girl 3 , Boy 2,
Boy/Girl TWINS��born Aug 17, 2010
We thought my boys were mo/mo at first. Luckily, they weren't. But I did some research on mo/mo and yes, that is pretty "standard" care for mo/mo pregnancies.
Like the pp said, there are many risk. The cord(s) being one. The cords can become entangled or compress which will cut blood supply to the babies. Which would be deadly. So the idea of bed rest is to limit the mothers activities in hopes of limiting the babies activities. Also, since they share a sac it is difficult to measure growth. So they can never be entirely sure of the babies growth. Plus, with a shared placenta, there is a chance of TTTS (one baby takes in more blood and nutrients)
In addition to those very high risk, there are all the "normal" risk that women carring twins have- higher chance of pre-term labor, high blood pressure, gd, ect...
So, no the doctor isn't just freaking out. After the tech told me I have twins, the doctor told me I had a 50% chance of losing one or both babies- all that happened in about 10min. It was a head spin! But, she is already at 26wks, so she is doing well. Things can change quickly. The babies will most likely be born by 33wks. Good Luck to her!
Momma to wild and crazy identical twins!- Calum and Liam- 1/24/08 and sweet baby girl Audrey 7/25/11
mo/mos are rare and very, very high risk - they are the highest risk for complications (minus Siamese twins). I think I know 3 or 4 women on BBC who had mo/mo and they were force on bed rest before 24 weeks and were delivered super early
so no the dr is not being mean - he's trying to help her keep her babies healthy
Heidi - overtime mom - fibromyalgia moms are fun!
Due to our individual interpretations/experiences, I may offend you at some point in time.
i wasn't sure of exactly what mono/mono twins were so i looked it up and found a websit that said ... Monoamniotic-Monochorionic twins have a general in-utero mortality rate of approximately 50 %, largely due to cord entanglement.
this site has some other links and support groups that she might get some info from i think there was even a blog from a mom how was able to carry her mo/mo twins
mommy of dylan cain & bella clair (4/26/10)�& sophie ann (6/8/11)
I will say a little prayer for her and her babies to bring home 2 happy and healthy babies!
05/08/2006 Ian Pablo
10/14/2009 Allison Rose & Avery Grace
I'm currently pregnant with mono mono twins (15 weeks) - honestly, I'm surprised she's not ALREADY in the hospital! The standard recommended protocol (yep, I've done lots of reading in the last 2 weeks!) is hospitalization at 24-26 weeks, not for bed rest as much as for monitoring, at least 3-4 times per day, up to continuous 24/7. And then delivery is by c-section at 32-34 weeks because the bigger the babies get, the greater the risk of cord entanglement. (the purpose of the continuous monitoring though is so they can do an emergency c-section at the 1st sign of trouble) The 50/50 odds are often quoted but based on old data. With the early hospitalization, the odds are much more favorable.
My MFM dr sees about 3 cases/year and tells me that in the last 5 years, they have only ever had 1 loss and that was someone who did not deliver till 33 weeks.
So, I'm scared to death, but slightly more hopeful than I was when I was first told mono mono twins! My "due date" is Jan 3, I'll be going in to the hospital mid september and if both babies behave & don't cause problems for each other, I'll deliver around Nov. 8. Less than 1% of all twin births are mono mono....I always knew this pregnancy was special, just didn't know quite HOW special!
Her doctor is not being insensitive. Momo's are that dangerous. In fact from what I've heard most of the time she would be kept in the hospital under constant monitoring at 26 weeks, so only having to come in for a daily check up is being a bit lax.
Dara, mom to: DD 3/22/02, DS 12/27/03, and the twins DD and DS born 7/7/09 at 31 weeks
Extremely high risk pregnancy. The doctors thought my guys were mo/mo until about 23 weeks, when they finally found a extremely thin membrane separating them. He's not freaking out, he's being very realistic, and cautious. She has a very good doctor it seems.
Identical twin boys born at 28 weeks 4days.� Ronald� and Alexander. Very little but very healthy.
Wow! I didn't realize how dangerous or how rare it was. How scary. This woman that I met just moved here and doesn't have much family here... she is delivering at the hospital about 4 minutes from my house, so I told her I can be there for anything she needs if she is hospitalized for any prolonged period of time. Thanks for all the info ladies! Glad this is so rare!

BROOKLYN — Thoughts on a 66-53 in over Georgia: I. Here's the reality of this one: Yes, it was ugly for the first 30 or so minutes, but Indiana's final offensive surge to end the game made it respectable. The Hoosiers ended up shooting 51.5% on 2s and after starting out just 1-of-12 on 3-pointers, four late ones had them at 5-of-16 for the night (31.3%). That adds up to a 50 eFG%. Not great, but after starting just 8-of-25 from the floor in the first half, it was somewhat of a return to center. They also managed 1.03 points per possession, which is a little better than the traditional average output of 1.0 for a college basketball team. Having said that: This was generally one that was hard to watch. Indiana had spacing and ball movement issues along with the poor shooting, and fouls ran rampant early. Jordan Hulls, Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo all had two early and Georgia was in the bonus by the 8:06 mark in the first half. The Bulldogs didn't look much better during the same t...

RaboDirect PRO12: Leaders Ulster see off Connacht in Galway
Last Updated: 19/04/13 11:17pm
Tommy Bowe grabbed a late try to help RaboDirect PRO12 leaders Ulster seal a 34-18 bonus-point victory over Connacht in Galway.
A see-saw opening quarter saw four tries shared between the Irish provinces and Rory Best grabbed Ulster's third score to give them a 22-15 interval lead.
The second half saw the scoring dry up before the visitors gave the final scoreline a rather flattering look with two tries in the closing nine minutes.
It was Connacht who had made the faster start, though, with George Naoupu running in an opportunist effort to break the deadlock after just three minutes.
Ruan Pienaar was wide with a penalty chance to reply, although the Ulster backs soon clicked into gear to create enough space for the in-form Stuart Olding to touch down.
Exploited space
Pienaar converted and Ulster quickly exploited space down the right flank again, the South African's deft pass sending Andrew Trimble breaking away to score in the corner.
Connacht hit back with a try from Fetu Vainikolo but after Dan Parks and Pienaar traded penalties Ulster, with their big forwards getting on top, moved back in front just before the break thanks to stand-in skipper Best.
The game was narrowed down to four points when replacement Miah Nikora converted a 49th-minute penalty.
However, Ulster came on strong in the closing stages to move clear, replacement Iain Henderson charging past two defenders before offloading for Ireland winger Bowe to finish off.
Further salt was rubbed into the Connacht wounds when full-back Jared Payne ran in a fine breakaway try six minutes later.

I've left one of mine for longer than you have owned yours, and it's fine. I think you should take it back while it's still in warranty, even if it does come back to life. Sounds like it's faulty.

Yeah infact a quick look on Yahoo Answers finds a question like mine if not the same.
It's not charging at all so back to the shop thank god I took out 2 years warranty.
Sony to replace PS3 controllers
Wireless pad batteries will last for "many years" - spokesperson
Sony has told GamesIndustry.biz that the company will provide a service to replace wireless PS3 controllers "when and if" their lithium batteries degrade.
A report on GamesRadar.com observed that the pads do not feature removable battery packs, arguing this would render them "effectively useless" as wireless controllers after a certain number of charges.
This, the article claimed, would leave consumers "forced to shell out" for replacements.
But a Sony spokesperson told GI.biz, "This is a purely speculative story and is largely untrue. The latest generation of Lithium Polymer batteries hardly suffer any memory effect at all, so it'll be many years before there's any degradation in terms of battery performance."
The spokesperson went on to confirm, "When and if this happens, then of course we will be providing a service to exchange these items."
A European price point for the pads has yet to be announced, but yesterday SCEA announced they will retail for USD 49.99 (EUR 39). It was also confirmed that PS3 owners will be able to charge and use their controllers via a supplied USB cable.
Posted 14 January 2009 - 14:22
USB voltage is between 4.75 and 5.25 at 500mA (iirc) so even the PS3 is charging it at the same level, using a laptop is no different.

U.S. Witness Doesn't Link Bin Laden Driver to Attacks
GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba -- Two days into the first U.S. war-crimes trial since the 1940s, defendant Salim Hamdan's fate seems likely to depend on a single question: whether working as a personal driver for Osama bin Laden is itself an offense that can be punished by life imprisonment.
The government's star witness, former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Ali Soufan, testified under questioning by the defense that "nothing that I know of" linked Mr. Hamdan to any terrorist act.
Mr. Hamdan is charged with conspiracy and providing material support for terrorism. The government argues that even if Mr. Hamdan had no planning role or advance knowledge of terrorist operations, his failure to leave Mr. bin Laden's employ after al Qaeda's deadly attacks on the U.S. embassies in Africa, the USS Cole and the World Trade Center points to his guilt.
Mr. Soufan, a Lebanese-American known as a top counterterrorism investigator, described the defendant as a simple, amiable servant whose proximity to al Qaeda's inner circle let him overhear the musings of the terror network's leadership.
For instance, Mr. Hamdan was driving Mr. bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks when he overheard Mr. bin Laden comment that he had expected to kill 1,000 to 1,500 people in the attacks, rather than the nearly 3,000 who died.
Mr. Mohammed, who also is held here, is accused of organizing the attacks and may face trial later this year.
In another anecdote, Mr. Soufan said that Mr. Hamdan relayed to Mr. bin Laden that Yemeni television had blamed the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in a Yemeni harbor on the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.
Mr. bin Laden responded with a "sarcastic smile," Mr. Soufan said Mr. Hamdan told him.
More on the Case
Another al Qaeda confederate burst out laughing when he heard the story, and Mr. Hamdan realized that Mr. bin Laden was amused to hear that his handiwork was being pinned on the Israelis, according to Mr. Soufan.
On Sept. 11, 2001, Mr. Hamdan attended Mr. bin Laden in Kabul, Afghanistan, watching as the al Qaeda leader met with Mr. Mohammed, his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and other terrorist figures, Mr. Soufan said.
Mr. Mohammed briefed Mr. bin Laden on the attacks, and Mr. Hamdan learned that the planes were intended to strike their targets within 10 or 15 minutes of one another. The al Qaeda leadership had photos of the hijackers, and Mr. Hamdan heard Mr. bin Laden pray that they be accepted into heaven as martyrs.
Mr. bin Laden seemed to take an almost paternal interest in his hireling, who hailed from Hadramout, Yemen, the ancestral home of the bin Ladens. Mr. Soufan said the al Qaeda leader instructed Mr. Hamdan, who entered his employ in 1996, and a fellow al Qaeda worker to return to Yemen and marry sisters, thus creating blood ties within the terrorist network. Back in Afghanistan, Mr. bin Laden played host to their wedding feast.
Prosecutor John Murphy, a Justice Department attorney, introduced al Qaeda videotapes showing Mr. Hamdan toting a rifle or a walkie-talkie within Mr. bin Laden's entourage. Anyone permitted to carry weapons or electronic devices in Mr. bin Laden's proximity was viewed as a true loyalist, whom Mr. bin Laden "trusts...with his life," Mr. Soufan said.
In advance of attacks, Mr. Soufan said, Mr. Hamdan would often be alerted to prepare vehicles for a rapid move, in case of an American retaliation. He added that Mr. Hamdan came to believe that Washington's failure to launch massive retaliations after the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa and the 2000 Cole bombing emboldened Mr. bin Laden. The al Qaeda leader believed the U.S. would never send ground troops to pursue him in Afghanistan, Mr. Soufan said.
Mr. Hamdan lacked the religious fanaticism of hardened al Qaeda operatives, Mr. Soufan said. Life in Mr. bin Laden's circle meant inundation with extremist religious rhetoric praising suicide terrorists and condemning the U.S. Mr. Hamdan "used to get bored with these statements, because he heard them again and again."
Mr. Hamdan was captured in November 2001 at a checkpoint south of Kandahar by Afghan militiamen under American command. Mr. Soufan described Mr. Hamdan as a "friendly, forthcoming" prisoner whose statements, when they could be verified, were "right on the money."
After Mr. Soufan's testimony, prosecutors showed videotape of the initial interrogation by U.S. forces of a bearded and disheveled Mr. Hamdan, sitting on the floor in a mud hut, his hands bound in plastic cuffs, a masked soldier behind him and an interrogator, speaking American-accented Arabic, off-screen. Mr. Hamdan was hooded and taken away at the end of the session.
In his initial interrogation, Mr. Hamdan dissembled about his connection to Mr. bin Laden and falsely said he came to Afghanistan to work for a relief organization.

Rock Band
By roflgar 1 Comments
I am a huge fan of music. I can never get enough. Rock Band, in my opinion is such a great, interactive way for me to enjoy something I like so much. I love being able to hang out with four of my buddies (sometimes after a couple... or many drinks) and playing those little plastic guitars until we can't keep our eyes open any longer.
Gradually though I have noticed something a bit troubling. I am getting slightly older (only 25 at the time of writing this). My friends and my wife are not as interested in playing as I am anymore. I have a closet full of instruments that aren't being used and every time I suggest a good old "Rock Band" night, more and more I see some eye rolling.
Why the hell would anyone get tired of drunken Rock Band is totally beyond me :)
With the addition of the pro series guitar and the new keyboard; I am totally excited about Rock Band 3. I am also an actual guitar player. So it is really appealing to me to be able to continue working on my real guitar skills even while playing one of my favorite genre of games. Of course, we have yet to see how well the pro Strat is going to actually work. I would imagine that common little mistakes made on a real guitar that do not effect your playing, could really screw up your score on Rock Band. But maybe that will just make me that much more precise in my actual guitar playing.
I mostly wrote this to complete a quest... and the topic is really due to the fact that everywhere I look in my mancave there is a plastic instrument of some sort. I do love music though and Rock Band is just another way for me to enjoy it.
Maybe I can make writing in my blog a regular thing... but of course that is what I said about my actual blog... that did not last long.
-Roflgar OUT!

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 10/22/12
The injuries continue to mount for the Green Bay Packers. Strong safety Charles Woodson is the latest casualty. As first reported by FOXSports.com NFL insider Jay Glazer, Woodson suffered a fractured collarbone in last Sunday's 30-20 victory over St. Louis. The initial diagnosis for Woodson's absence is six weeks, Glazer reported. The Packers already were forced to play against the Rams without four other starters in nose tackle B.J. Raji (ankle), wide receiver Greg Jennings (groin), outside linebacker Nick Perry (knee) and cornerback Sam Shields (shinankle). Without Woodson, the Packers (4-3) will be missing the senior leader of their defense. After 15 years as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks, the 36-year-old Woodson made the transition to safety during the offseason. Woodson had 38 tackles, five passes defensed and one interception in Green Bay's first seven games. He also still possessed the coverage skill to match-up against wide receivers and tight ends on a consistent ba...

Two-point conversion in OT lifts Seven Lakes over Morton Ranch
By Chris Elliott | November 10, 2012 | Updated: November 10, 2012 7:17pm
Photo By Eric Christian Smith/FreelanceSeven Lakes quarterback Kyle Postma (8) scores a two-point conversion in overtime to give the Spartans a 31-30 victory over Morton Ranch on Saturday.
No regrets. Those words summarized Seven Lakes coach Lydell Wilson's decision to go for two points in his team's 31-30 victory over Morton Ranch on Saturday that clinched the Spartans their first playoff berth.
Those words also could have been used to portray the mentality of a Morton Ranch squad that literally left it all (vomit, sweat and postgame tears) on the field as it desperately tried to avoid elimination from playoff contention.
The game-winning play fell upon the legs of Seven Lakes quarterback Kyle Postma. Moments earlier, he had cut his team's deficit to 30-29 in the overtime period with a 6-yard touchdown run. His team lined up to kick the extra point, but the Mavericks jumped offsides, setting the ball up at the 1 yard-line. Postma ran it in on the same quarterback draw that resulted in the touchdown in overtime.
"I knew it wasn't over," Postma said. "I knew our defense would give us a chance. I did what I could and tried to leave it all on the field."
'Let's get it over with'
Wilson tried to put his approach to the overtime session into words.
"Let's get it over with now," Wilson said. "I believed in the kids. I thought we could get a yard and a half. We had been doing it all night. So let's go for it."
It might have been too dangerous to give the ball back to Morton Ranch. The Mavericks stuck to their guns and ran Quandre Washington (20 rushes, 162 yards, two TDs) and Deion Williams (37 rushes, 249 yards, one TD) until they had nothing left. The two backs wouldn't have had it any other way. Despite both game-changers vomiting on the sidelines and running on pure willpower in the fourth quarter, they played on and combined for the 411 rushing yards.
Morton Ranch trailed 21-7 after a 7-yard Postma touchdown run with 9:11 left in the third.
Morton Ranch, however, countered with a 70-yard scoring drive of its own, made possible by multiple big runs by Williams. He broke off a 15-yard run and then followed it up with a 24-yard run, which set up Washington with the QB sneak up the middle to cut Morton Ranch's deficit to 21-14 with 5:50 left in the third.
Step forward, step back
Morton Ranch would score again, this time on a Ryan Burciaga touchdown run. However, a broken two-point conversion play resulted in a Burciaga interception and a 103-yard Rodrick Champion return to extend Seven Lakes' lead to 23-20.
Arron Shiffler's 25-yard field goal with 2:04 left in the game for Morton Ranch was enough to force overtime. In the extra session, though Williams accounted for 20 of his team's 25 yards and a touchdown, Morton Ranch's seven points wouldn't be enough.
Seven Lakes (5-5, 4-3) likely will play Lamar on Friday in the first round of the playoffs.

Also names Bill Stepien, Jeff Chiesa and Kevin O'Dowd to inner circle
Governor-elect Chris Christie Thursday announced the appointment of four political confidants who will play key roles in the inner circle of his administration.
Former state senator Richard Bagger of Westfield will be Christie's chief of staff, Bill Stepien, Christie's former campaign manager, will be deputy chief of staff, Jeff Chiesa will be chief counsel to the governor and Kevin O'Dowd of New Brunswick will be deputy chief counsel.
Christie said he intends to give Bagger and Chiesa the power to do their jobs.
"There is no doubt that we have a great deal of work ahead of us when our state is facing an ever increasing deficit and an unemployment rate we most defeat,'' Christie said. "I am confident that with the team I am beginning to assemble we are going to be able to do the work the people of New Jersey sent us to Trenton to do.''Christie said, "Rich Bagger brings a wealth of outside experience, knowledge, respect from both sides of the aisle, and a shared belief that we must run Trenton differently if we're going to get results. Rich innately knows that we have to throw out the old way of doing things if we're going to be able to successfully execute our vision."
Christie said he may announce more appointments next week, possibly cabinet members. He said he has yet to decide the salaries for the four appointees.
Bagger confirmed he will be taking a pay cut from his position as senior vice president of Worldwide Public Affairs for the drugmaker Pfizer but he called the chance to run the governor's office, "the opportunity of a lifetime.''
Bagger said he foresees a cabinet and governor's staff that will be "ready to tackle the many challenges we currently face. We will assemble a team that is ready and willing to make the changes needed and tackle the tough issues head-on in order to get the results New Jersey desperately needs."
Bagger has served in a series of corporate roles since joining Pfizer in 1993. Earlier in his career, Bagger was assistant general counsel of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey and practiced law with Newark-based McCarter & English.
He served 10 years in the Assembly, where he was chairman of the Appropriations Committee. In 2001, he was elected to the state Senate and served there until 2003. Before his election to the legislature, he was a mayor and councilman in Westfield. He received a degree from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and a law degree from Rutgers University Law School.
Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce (R-Morris) commented on Bagger's appointment.
"Richard Bagger is an outstanding choice as chief of staff and will be of invaluable assistance as Governor-elect Christie tries to fix New Jersey's complex economic problems. His diverse background in both the public and private sectors make him an important asset. He is a man of high character, who possesses superior intellect and integrity. Richard is well-respected on both sides of the aisle and knows how to work with various constituencies in accomplishing his objectives. His business savvy will also be a great help in dealing with New Jersey's economic challenges.''
Prior to guiding Christie's campaign, Stepien worked as national field director and regional campaign manager for U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign. Earlier in the 2008 presidential campaign cycle, Stepien was former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani's national field director.
Stepien has also worked as the Republican National Committee's 72-Hour director and as President George W. Bush's New Hampshire political director in his 2004 re-election campaign. He also successfully managed now state Sen. Bill Baroni's (R-Mercer) campaign for the Assembly in 2003 and worked in the legislative office of state Sen, Anthony Bucco (R-morris). A New Jersey native, Stepien received his degree from Rutgers.
Chiesa is currently a partner in the litigation department at Wolff & Samson. Prior to joining the law firm, Chiesa worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark from 2002 - 2009, last serving as the executive assistant U.S. Attorney Christie. He also served as counsel to the U.S. attorney and as the chief of the Public Protection Unit.
Chiesa was managed the Criminal, Civil, Appeals and Special Prosecutions divisions. As a unit chief, he supervised a group of assistant U.S. attorneys primarily responsible for the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases involving bank robbery, child pornography, human trafficking and identity theft. He received his degree at Notre Dame and his law degree at Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law.
O'Dowd currently serves as the chief of the Securities and Healthcare Fraud Unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark. Over the course of the last seven years as an assistant U.S. attorney, O'Dowd has prosecuted various crimes ranging from complex healthcare, securities and financial fraud matters to international child pornography distribution, cyber and narcotics prosecutions.
Prior to joining the U.S. Attorney's Office, O'Dowd spent five years serving as both a New Jersey deputy attorney general and an assistant counsel to Republican Gov. Christie Whitman. He received his degree at The Catholic University of America and his law degree at St. John's University School of Law.

The results: the hoarding group ultimately dispensed with far fewer pieces of paper than either the obsessive-compulsive disorder group or the healthy participants.
What's more, abnormal brain activity observed among those in the hoarding group was found to be distinct from that noted among either of the other two groups.
Specifically, when looking at brain imaging of the hoarders, the researchers focused on two regions: the anterior cingulate cortex and the insula.
In both regions, activity was particularly low among hoarders when they faced the dilemma of whether or not to keep or discard paper items that were not theirs. When faced with the question of what to do with items they did own, regional activity was particularly high.
And when comparing behavior against brain scans, the team found that neural activity in the two identified regions did correlate strongly with the severity of hoarding and self-expressed feelings of indecisiveness and discomfort.
Tolin said that his team will next turn to the question of whether or not behavioral therapy specifically designed to tackle the problem of hoarding helps patients.
Dr. Joseph Coyle, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School in Boston, lauded the fresh insights in the new study.
"What they demonstrate quite nicely is that hoarding does show a pattern of abnormal brain activity that is distinguished from simply being OCD. It clearly has its own distinct pathologic brain activity," he noted.
"And this illumination is important because although it is fairly uncommon and probably affects less than 1 percent of the population, we're talking about a serious problem," stressed Coyle. "This is not about keeping a few extra newspapers in the house. This is about filling your house up with things to the point when you can no longer even live in it. And this study goes a long way
