MIKULSKI, CARDIN APPLAUD SENATE CONFIRMATION OF HAZEL AND CHUANG FOR MARYLAND DISTRICT COURT SEATS
MIKULSKI, CARDIN APPLAUD SENATE CONFIRMATION OF HAZEL AND CHUANG FOR MARYLAND DISTRICT COURT SEATS
Senators Recommended Hazel and Chuang for Federal Bench to President Obama
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin (both D-Md.) today applauded the Senate’s confirmation of George Jarrod Hazel and Theodore David Chuang to fill vacancies on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Southern Division, located in Greenbelt. Senators Mikulski and Cardin recommended Hazel and Chuang to President Obama for these positions on the federal bench. The Senate confirmed the nominations of Hazel, who currently serves as the Chief Deputy State’s Attorney for Baltimore City, and Chuang, who currently serves as Deputy General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
“I applaud today’s confirmation of George Hazel and Theodore Chuang to serve on the U.S. District Court of Maryland, and was proud to recommend them for the job,” Senator Mikulski said. “When I consider nominees for the federal bench, I have four criteria: absolute integrity, judicial competence and temperament; a commitment to core constitutional principles, and a history of civic engagement in Maryland. George Hazel and Theodore Chuang not only meet these standards, they exceed them. Maryland deserves to have highly qualified judges who will uphold the law to provide equal justice for all, and we have that in these two men.”
“Committed and principled judges are critical to a healthy judicial system and I am confident that George Hazel and Theo Chuang are two Marylanders who will serve with distinction on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Southern Division that sees an incredibly diverse case load,” said Senator Cardin. “Mr. Chuang has a broad range of legal experience in all three branches of the federal government, and is the son of immigrants from Taiwan who came to America seeking freedom and a better life for their family. Mr. Hazel has fought to keep our communities safe as a prosecutor, and is an active member of local organizations. Both have a strong record helping to provide access to justice to low-income residents in our state.”
Mr. Chuang will occupy the seat currently held by Judge Roger Titus who has advised the President of his intention to take senior status in January 2014. Mr. Hazel will fill the seat formerly held by Judge Alexander Williams, who retired in May 2013.
MR. THEODORE DAVID CHUANG
Theodore David Chuang, of Bethesda MD, currently serves as Deputy General Counsel of the United States Department of Homeland Security, where he has worked since 2009. Chuang received his J.D. magna cum laude in 1994 from Harvard Law School and his B.A. summa cum laude in 1991 from Harvard University.
Prior to his current position, Mr. Chuang served as Chief Investigative Counsel for the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce in 2009 and Deputy Chief Investigative Counsel for the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform from 2007 to 2009. He also spent six years as an Assistant United States Attorney and two years in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice.
MR. GEORGE JARROD HAZEL
George Jarrod Hazel, of North Potomac, MD, has served as the Chief Deputy State’s Attorney for Baltimore City since 2011. Hazel received his J.D. in 1999 from Georgetown University Law Center and his B.A. cum laude in 1996 from Morehouse College.
Before his position with the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office, Mr. Hazel served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Maryland from 2008 to 2010 and as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia from 2005 to 2008. He began his legal career in private practice at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Washington, D.C. from 1999 to 2004.

State Police Employees and Allied Officers Awarded for Bravery and Outstanding Service
Maryland State Police Press Release
05/01/2014 16:47
STATE POLICE EMPLOYEES AND ALLIED OFFICERS AWARDED FOR BRAVERY AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE
05/01/2014 16:47
STATE POLICE EMPLOYEES AND ALLIED OFFICERS AWARDED FOR BRAVERY AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE
(TIMONIUM, MD) -- Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel Marcus L. Brown today presented awards ranging from Superintendent’s Salutes to Governor’s Citations to more than 100 state troopers, civilian employees, and allied law enforcement personnel in a ceremony that acknowledged their bravery, commitment, compassion and outstanding service to the people of Maryland.
The Maryland State Police Award Ceremony was held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds and was attended by families, friends, and co-workers of award recipients. Awards were presented for incidents involving troopers who were assaulted by armed suspects, a trooper who saved the life of a man at an Orioles game who turned out to be a long lost friend and employees who went above and beyond the call of duty while serving and protecting the people of Maryland. Colonel Brown even presented a dog bone to Jillie, a State Police K-9 who helped troopers find a suicidal man in time to rescue him and save his life.
“The narratives of today’s awards were only brief reflections of the deep level of commitment to public service the men and women of the Maryland State Police and our allied law enforcement partners possess,” Colonel Brown said. “The courage, bravery, and dedication to duty exhibited during the past year by our troopers and civilian employees resulted in lives saved, criminals brought to justice, traffic crashes and injuries reduced, and ultimately, a safer Maryland. I am proud to be a part of this outstanding law enforcement organization where integrity, fairness, and service to our citizens are our daily priorities.”
Space does not permit the listing of all the award narratives. The following are just a few.
Lifesaving Award - TFC Nathan L. Steelman – Glen Burnie Barrack
On June 1, 2013, TFC Steelman was off-duty, attending an Orioles baseball game at Camden Yards. His attention was drawn to two men assaulting another man.
As a result of the assault, the victim fell over a retaining wall and landed on an observation deck, six feet below. The fall incapacitated the victim and knocked him unconscious. TFC Steelman immediately responded to the victim and found his airway was blocked. He also recognized the victim as an old friend whom he had not seen for years.
TFC Steelman conducted a finger-sweep of the victim’s throat and removed what was blocking the victim’s airway. While restoring the victim’s breathing, TFC Steelman identified himself as a Maryland State trooper to the two assailants, and informed them they were under arrest.
TFC Steelman’s friend was transported to Shock Trauma for treatment of a traumatic brain injury. There is no doubt that TFC Steelman performed life-saving actions by clearing a blocked airway and stabilizing the victim’s cervical spine, preventing further trauma injuries. TFC Steelman's friend attended today's ceremony to show his support and appreciation to the trooper who helped save his life.
Lifesaving Award - TFC James C. Egros,
TFC Richard R. Roberts, TFC Barry Stonestreet, – Frederick Barrack
On August 21, 2012, the Frederick Barrack received a request from the Westminster Barrack to assist with attempting to locate a suicidal person. Investigators developed a possible location, which K-9 handlers TFC Egros and TFC Stonestreet tracked to a location in Frederick County. TFC Roberts joined the search and followed K9 bloodhound Jillie to a thickly wooded area where he and the other troopers found the missing suicidal person. The man had hung himself from a tree where he was found unconscious by the troopers.
TFC Egros used his utility knife to cut the ligature and lowered the man to the ground. All three troopers initiated CPR until emergency services arrived. If it had not been for the rapid investigative efforts by the troopers, immediate deployment of Jillie the bloodhound, and the instant initiation of rescue CPR by troopers, a State Police helicopter would not have been unable to deliver the suicidal man to the UMD Shock Trauma Center in stable and alert condition. The actions of these troopers and their K-9 resulted in a life being saved.
Governor’s Citation - Corporal Kevin Watkins – JFK Highway Barrack
During the early morning hours of November 12, 2012, while driving his patrol vehicle off-duty, Corporal Watkins arrived at the scene of a motor vehicle crash on I-95 in Harford Co, where one of the vehicles was on fire. Corporal Watkins immediately assessed the imminent danger and notified the barrack. He then began to extricate all three passengers in the vehicle that was on fire.
Further complicating matters, two occupants of the vehicle went into cardiac arrest at the scene. While Harford County EMS personnel administered CPR to one of the occupants, Corporal Watkins administered CPR to the other.
Medical care provided by EMS personnel included transporting Corporal Watkins to the hospital for smoke inhalation injuries. Despite overwhelming odds and tremendous adversity, Corporal Watkins’ immediate extrication of the occupants of the vehicle, while it was on fire, saved the life of one of the occupants and exhibited his courage in the face of obvious danger.
Superintendent’s Commendation
Criminal Enforcement Division State Apprehension Team
Sergeant – CED/MSAT
Corporal – CED/MSAT
Senior Trooper – CED/MSAT
TFC – CED/MSAT
Certificate of Recognition
Deputy First Class – Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office
Detective – Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services
Supervisory Inspector – United States Marshals Service
(NOTE: Names are deleted for safety reasons because these officers often work undercover.)
On March 5, 2013, the Maryland State Apprehension Team (MSAT) received a warrant from the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigations for suspects wanted in several burglaries. The investigation revealed at least one of the suspects was armed and dangerous. Criminal intelligence information led the apprehension team to conduct surveillance on a residence of a known associate.
During the surveillance operation, the burglary suspect was observed entering the residence. The apprehension team converged on the home and arrested the suspect without injury to the team members. Investigators interviewed the suspect and were informed of another home invasion committed by the suspect just hours earlier.
Furthering their investigation, the MSAT team responded to the address of the last known home invasion crime scene. It was there the MSAT team members found an 89-year old female, bound and gagged, lying beneath a coffee table on the living room floor, unable to move. She had been left for dead by the suspects who invaded her home and robbed her. The team members removed the bindings and called for an ambulance for treatment of the injuries she had sustained during the home invasion.
The suspects were subsequently charged with this crime and several other home invasions. Due to the investigative thoroughness of the members of the Maryland State Apprehension Team, they removed a dangerous criminal from Maryland communities and most likely saved the life of the most recent victim.
Superintendent’s Commendation – Major (Retired) Morris L. Krome
Major (Ret) Krome spent 29 years with the Maryland State Police. Upon his retirement, he served on the Department of Legislative Reference’s Pension Code Revision Subcommittee with the Maryland State Retirement Agency. He was elected to the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System Board of Trustees in 1998 and will have served four terms upon his retirement in July 2014. He has worked tirelessly in this role on behalf of retired Maryland state troopers. He helped bring a successful resolution to a court case which awarded $73 million to the retirement system. He served in multiple positions on the board and was a committed advocate on behalf of thousands of state troopers and their families.
The Maryland State Police Award Ceremony was held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds and was attended by families, friends, and co-workers of award recipients. Awards were presented for incidents involving troopers who were assaulted by armed suspects, a trooper who saved the life of a man at an Orioles game who turned out to be a long lost friend and employees who went above and beyond the call of duty while serving and protecting the people of Maryland.

Off Track Art will host an opening reception for Sherrill Cooper on Friday, May 2, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. http://tinyurl.com/otuwfez
Sherrill Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art for
May and June 2014
Off Track Art, an artists’ cooperative in downtown
Westminster, will host an opening reception for Sherrill Cooper on Friday, May
2, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Ms. Cooper is the featured artist at Off Track Art
for May and June 2014.
Sherrill has an extensive body of work that reflect her love
of the figure.
"I love people watching,” says Ms. Cooper. “The way they sit, stand, their overall
posture and attitude fascinates me. I am drawn to the figure absorbed in
contemplation—capturing their inner sense of isolation. I seek to communicate
their emotions at that particular time. I want the viewer to feel what the subject
is feeling…
According to her artist’s statement and brief biographical
sketch, “Sherrill Cooper's studio feels
like a tree house. It overlooks a lush, dense oak forest in Finksburg, MD.
In this setting
Sherrill has found a way to merge her two passions: illustration and painting
in oil.
She has enjoyed a successful
30 year career as an illustrator. Now
that she has raised two children, she finds more time to paint.
Illustration has taught
her composition, color, creativity, expression, and most of all draftsmanship.
These disciplines
serve her well when she applies paint to canvas. She seeks to distill all of her experiences
in to each painting with fresh concepts, strong design sensibilities, emotional
brushstrokes, and rich and textural color.
The figure interests
Sherrill most. Particularly those
moments of contemplation when people are caught-up in their thoughts and
emotions.
Attitude, body
language and posture are what she seeks to communicate with the viewer.
Choosing the correct
value is essential. Putting it down only
once, with the appropriate brush and stroke. These are choices that I make very
carefully. If I get them right, the painting, like the person moves and
breathes. - Sherrill Cooper

What is a photocopier? Public records humor? Yep ... watch this video | The Columbus Dispatch
Public records humor? Yep ... watch this video | The Columbus Dispatch: "By: Randy Ludlow
The Columbus Dispatch - April 28, 2014"
Hat Tip: Bryan Sears...
A Hollywood writer and movie director has created a new online feature for The New York Times in which he crafts a verbatim video around transcripts from court cases.

The Columbus Dispatch - April 28, 2014"
Hat Tip: Bryan Sears...
This is hilarious – and true. And, it involves public records, which typically aren't good for many laughs.
The debut video involves an Ohio Supreme Court case in which an incredulous lawyer (David Marburger of Cleveland in real life) questions a Cuyahoga County recorder’s office employee who refuses to concede he knows what a photocopier is. Hilarity ensues.
OMG - you simply must watch this here: http://www.dispatch.com/content/blogs/your-right-to-know/2014/04/photocopier-video.html 'via Blog this'

Good Morning! The Cost of Your Breakfast Just Went Up Tuesday,
22 Apr 2014
The cost of breakfast is poised to increase as coffee
futures surge after a Brazilian drought damaged crops and orange-juice prices
climb with Florida’s output heading for a 29-year low.
[...]
To start this year, Brazil, the world’s top coffee and
citrus grower, faced the most severe drought in decades. In Florida, the
second-biggest orange grower, a gnat-sized insect spread citrus greening,
causing fruit to wither and drop early. Prices for bacon, eggs and milk have
also climbed, and surging meat and dairy are helping to spur the fastest gain
in U.S. consumer food costs since 2011, government data show.
