A judge's authorship of extrajudicial papers discussing problems presented by querulant self-represented litigants does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.

A finding of fact in another case about inspection intervals does not set a legal precedent or industry standard that can be pleaded as a particular of negligence.
