We are all the living
we are all the dying.
We are in this one world,
each of us a universe
bound to the next
in humility and servitude
if we choose.
We must choose.
There is no default
set to make things right
if we do not forge
a path of kindness.
There is observing, repenting,
learning, starting again,
but there no starting over.
We are the living,
we are the dying.
We witness and document,
make art and make love,
because there are a million ways
we are human,
but one way in which
we need to share,
to be understood,
to be met with the compassion
that chokes us
when the world
is strangled by so much suffering.
Let us grace the living
with every possibility for life;
it is the work of our life to live,
and make each breath
a windstorm blowing in the direction
of restoring dignity for all.

FG says committed to local content development
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has reiterated its determination to maximise the participation of Nigerians in local projects to raise the bar of Nigerian content policy.
The Group Managing Director, NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru gave the assurance at the 11th Oil Industry Achievement award, organised by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) in Lagos on Thursday evening.
The theme of the paper is: "Local Content Compliance in an Extended Low Price Environment''.
Baru said that Nigeria needed to take back most fabrication work and other services in the industry from foreign yards.
He said that this would increase the contribution of the industry to the nation's GDP, adding "it is the corporation's goal to achieve much more''.
According to him, in our determination to maximise participation of Nigerians in our projects and domicile project activities in the country.
"We in the NNPC have been implementing the Nigerian Content Policy as enshrined in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act since before the enactment of the act in 2010.
"The development of domestic in-country value addition capacity capable of transforming Nigeria to self-reliant exporter of refined products, energy, power and oil and gas services,'' he said.
The NNPC boss said that PETAN had been a veritable platform for Nigerian oil and gas entrepreneurs.
He said that the platform also encouraged exchange of ideas on the realisation of the Nigerian content aspiration and ways of achieving possible improvements.
He said that the choice of the topic was very relevant to the nation's oil and gas industry of today, given that it was largely characterised by high cost of production.
He said that it would address high percentage of foreign content to the detriment of local industry, high expatriate quota utilisation by international oil companies and ever rising repatriation of profits and incomes.
Baru, therefore, challenged PETAN to strengthen its resolve in vigorously pursuing its mission of promoting the domesticating of petroleum technology by striving for fair and extensive patronage into a new phase.
He advised that association should consider the current realities of the industry so that its operations would align with efforts by other players to deliver efficient services to stakeholders and deepen in-country value addition.
He reaffirmed NNPC's commitment to compliance with the provisions of the Nigerian Content Act to increase in-country value addition and support all relevant stakeholders in achieving this noble objective.
The NNPC boss implored the operators to join NNPC in encouraging PETAN members by settling their debts.
He said that recently, NNPC had also permitted the participation of Nigerian companies in crude oil lifting.
"For the first time, the local companies are now allowed to participate in the bidding process of crude oil lifting.
"This is an activity that was initially exclusively reserved for foreign companies,'' Baru added.
He said that the corporation is also poised to promote development and commercialisation of home-grown technology through its Research and Development arm.
He said that NNPC was currently collaborating with Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) to set up research clusters that would specialise in different areas of the oil and gas activities.
According to him, as a nation, it is time to look at the compliance level of the extant legislation and policy very closely.
The Executive Secretary, NCDMB, Mr Simbi Wabote said that the board was working with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Bank of Industry to finalise the approval of the Nigerian Content Intervention Fund.
Wabote said that once the board concluded the process, the funds would be available for direct lending at single digit and longer tenor for qualified companies.
"At the board, we have maintained that domiciliation of industry activities reduces cost of operations.
"Participants at the recent Practical Nigerian Content Conference also reinforced this view that a strong and viable local supply chain ultimately helped in reducing cost of projects.
"However, the challenge for us is to devise new strategies, to come up with pragmatic schemes to validate the idea that Nigerian Content delivers tangible benefits both in the short and long term.
PETAN's chairman, Mr Bank-Anthony Okoroafor said that the Nigerian oil and gas industry was bleeding, adding that the crude oil price declined had led to massive cut of workforce and projects cancellation.
According to him, this year has been filled with challenges in the oil and gas industry from the global trend of crude oil price, which seems to have settled at 46 dollars per barrel.
"Vandalisation of our pipelines and insecurity in the Niger Delta region. This had created a lot of unpleasant impacts in our industry,'' he said.
Okoroafor said that the situation had not helped the activity of the indigenous operators, adding that many members were suffering at an unprecedented level.
He said that many members could not service their loans or pay salaries as at when due.
"It is very sad to lose capacities that took Nigerians several years to build,'' he said.
NAN reports that Baru and seven other managing directors were conferred awards for their excellence performance.
Other organisations that received awards include Shell Petroleum Development Company, Waltersmith Petroman Oil Ltd., Oilserve Ltd., and ENI subsidiary of Nigerian Agip Oil.

Over the past few decades, marble has fallen by the wayside in interior design. Odds are that when you picture marble as a design element, you're having visions of large clinical hotel receptions or Grandma's pristine fireplace. Hardly modern and sleek – or so you thought. Head over to our blog to read all about the Marble trend.

Birmingham Ladywood MP has been branded "shameful", "extremely irresponsible" and accused of "stirring up tensions" and behaving in a inappropriately by leaders of Britain's Jewish communities for taking part in a protest against a supermarket stocking goods from illegal Israeli settlements in Palestinian Occupied Territories.
ShabanaMahmood was also accused of going against Labour Party policy which, according to a Labour spokesman, "does not support boycotts of Israel."
However, the Labour MP insists she is boycotting goods from the Occupied Territories. She is also campaigning for the enforcement of guidelines by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) tackling the mislabeling of goods from illegal Israeli settlements.
Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land in the West Bank are illegal under international law and opposed by the European Union and the UK Government. However, the UK Government and the EU allow goods from these illegal settlements to enter British markets.
EU law already requires a distinction to be made between goods originating in Israel and those from the Occupied Territories, though this is not always observed and in 2009, Defra announced that traders would be committing an offence if they labelled produce from the Occupied Territories as "Produce of Israel".
The Labour Party also supports the sale of goods from Israeli illegal settlements in the Occupied Territories. However, Mahmood disagrees with her Party. "My position on the boycott of illegal settlement goods – precisely because the settlements themselves are illegal – is a difference of view with my party that is genuinely and respectfully held," she told The Muslim News.
Sainsbury's store in central Birmingham was forced to momentarily shut as a result of the protest on August 2.
In her YouTube video Mahmood, who speaks for the Party on tax and growth policy, said she took part in a peaceful protest outside the store against the supermarket stocking "goods from the Israeli settlements that are illegal under international law."
Despite there being no reports of violence in the Sainsbury protest, Board of Deputies of British Jews President, Vivian Wineman, said: "Such rabble rousing is extremely irresponsible."
While Chief Executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, Simon Johnson, went so far as to ask for an apology saying: "It is completely inappropriate for a Member of Parliament to promote public disorder that forced a supermarket to close. We believe that she has been made aware of her party's opposition to boycotts and has back-pedalled, but an apology is yet to be heard."
Tory MP Mike Freer, who is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, criticisedLabour Leader, Ed Miliband, for his inability to "rein in" his frontbencher.
Mahmood, who condemned the intimidating nature of another protest at the Hodge Hill, said her views have "been clear from the start."
"I support proper labelling of goods that have been produced in the illegal settlements as per the Defra guidelines and personally chose to boycott those supermarkets that stock goods from those areas. But my choice is a peaceful one – I make my point with my wallet and my words. I hope others in Birmingham who support boycotting goods produced in the illegal settlements choose the same."

Cabinet door hardware can be a remarkable piece to attach in your plain-looking locker. You can choose from a lot of varieties sold in the market such as knobs, pulls and handles made of wooden material, brass, silver and bronze. Some of the ornate cabinets have door hardware made from crystal glasses with embellished glassworks, golden pleated door knobs and hinges and iron-cast pulleys.
Choose for convenience. Certainly all of us would want to keep our interior excellent and fabulous looking. That involves mismatching and coordinating all our house fixtures in one single theme or motif. Including with that is the material used for our door hardware. If you have a sleek modernistic approach when it comes to styling your interior, you absolutely have silver-cast or avant-garde designs with your cabinet door hardware. If you on the other hand have a traditional motif, then you must have door knobs and pulleys that have intricate metal or glass works.
But other than its aesthetic value, a decorator or a house owner should also go for the convenience of this hardware when it comes to gaining access to see into what is in the locker, sideboard or drawer. A knob for instance is commonly a bulbous hardware with glossy surface that requests an individual to turn and twist it in order to gain entry. A door pull on the other hand shows more designs depending on the decorator or the home owner's liking.
A door pull could be a knocker, or a handle where a person who needs to gain entry could hold the iron or the metal or the brass attachment, or whatever it might be completed of so to push a door open. In addition, there is also the twist handles, wherein an individual can grasp the door hardware and then twist is sideways. This is customarily for airline doors as it is rather inconvenient for standard house use, in particular for those who have two grocery plastic bags on each hands.
Furthermore, go for convenience. Do you prefer turning, pulling or twisting door hardware?
When choosing also your door hardware match its convenience to where do you want to install it. Windows and skylights in particular often use twist handles. For bathroom doors, the main door and the bedroom door, the most fitting would be the door knob for it is simple and easy to open, and can also be secured with easy security device.
For cabinet door hardware, here at this point you can be more innovative and artistic given that cabinets and lockers are often mounted in corners of the lounge area notably for arrangement and beautification. If you have a chandelier or if you have glass walls, you can choose to get knobs that are made from glass or crystals. Just bring to mind to polish them once in a while to preserve its sheen and varnish. Bronze, nickel, copper and iron are also excellent choices for your cabinet. They all goes well with every shade of the interior furnishings and they are very easy to clean.

If You Aren't Already Excited Enough for Wayfarer, check out the Sneak Peek on NetGalley!
January 3rd feels like a lifetime away right now with Wayfarer and Windwitch both coming out that day, but luckily NetGalley had you covered with sneak peeks for both books, each of which are several chapters long.
In these beginning chapters we reunite withNicholas and Etta, who have been separated by distance and time but are both working to accomplish the same two goals: find one another and destroy the astrolabe.
It's so much diving back into this beautifully developed cast of characters, getting to meet new ones, and reading through the POV of some who were, well, maybe not our favorites in Passenger. Clearly Alexandra Bracken has come to know these characters even better over the past year. They are each fascinating and flawed in their own ways and it's truly a pleasure to read their stories.
There are also some fascinating new time periods and places that we get to explore, even in just these first chapters. I can't wait to see what the rest of the book has in store for us!

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Saturday's 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union provided the main Fire storyline from the weekend but, as always, there was a lot of action going on behind the scenes. Here's a glimpse at a few items that headlined the notebook.
Hockey night in…Toyota Park?
The Fire marketing department didn't advertise Saturday's meeting between the Fire and the Philadelphia Union at Toyota Park as "Hockey night," but they might as well have.
Philadelphia and Chicago --whose hockey teams, the Flyers and the Blackhawks, are currently facing off in the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals-- had a hockey theme going for the game.
The Fratellis song "Chelsea Dagger" --played whenever the Blackhawks score a home goal-- blared across the Toyota Park loudspeakers after midfielder Marco Pappa put the Fire up 2-0 in the 74th minute.
But the hockey vibe extended beyond the PA system, as the fans and players got into the act as well.
The Union sported bright orange Flyers t-shirts during the national anthem and several Fire players --including midfielder Peter Lowry, whose San Jose Sharks were ousted by the Blackhawks in the Western Conference Finals-- broadcasted their well-wishes to Chicago's hockey heroes on the Jumbotron prior to kickoff.
The Section 8 supporters group called out the entire city of Philadelphia with several chants. Also, a large banner emblazed with the Fire and Blackhawks logos inscribed with "Two teams, One goal: Victory" hung over the railing of Toyota Park's upper deck.
"It was pretty cool," Fire midfielder Justin Mapp said of the hockey events. "Hopefully the Blackhawks come out on top. It would be good for the city."
Given all the love for hockey going around Chicago, the Fire might be a bit worried about attendance at their next match. They host Colorado on Wednesday night at 9 pm ET, exactly one hour after the puck drops in Philadelphia for Game 6 of the Cup Finals.
The sick and the injured
Forward Collins John revealed after Saturday night's match against the Philadelphia Union that he is dealing with an illness that has kept him off the gameday roster for the Fire's last two matches.
"I'm not well," John said. "It's kind of scary, so I guess I got to leave it to that."
Still out is Fire midfielder John Thorrington, who has yet to play in a match this season. Thorrington is dealing with a left quad tear and told MLSsoccer.com on Saturday that he won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Rapids. He hopes to progress during the World Cup break and get back onto the field shortly after Chicago resume league play on June 27.

The growth of hosted applications, or SaaS (software as a service), as well as other related services provisioned by a third-party provider, are driving steady U.S. managed services revenue growth, according to the latest market study by In-Stat.
As most business functions are still performed in-house by a majority of firms, out-tasking the management of the network and related infrastructure may still be considered a trend. The hosted application model, however, is closing in on becoming a paradigm, the high-tech market research firm says.
"Though business decision-makers have indicated that they plan to out-task major business functions like security, storage, phone system management at a moderate pace, adoption of third-party application hosting is the fastest growing area in managed services," says Jeff Jernigan, In-Stat analyst.
"The on-demand hosted application model has seen acceptance in the small-to-medium business market, and now demand is rising among enterprise-sized firms. The on-demand model will also hasten adoption of utility computing services."
The research report covers the U.S. market for managed services. A forecast of total US managed services spending through 2012 is presented and broken down by size of business sub-segments; SOHO (1- to 4-employee firms), small business (5- to 99-employee firms), mid-sized business (100- to 999-employee firms), and enterprise (1,000+-employee firms).
The research also gives an overall view of what the managed services landscape could look like by early 2009 with regard to adoption of a number of specific managed business functions; security, storage, WAN/LAN.
Key differences between sizes of business and vertical markets are also highlighted. This information will be helpful to providers of pure-play managed solutions as well as to larger providers who deliver in more than one of these functional areas. Survey data that focuses on interest for utility computing services is also presented and segmented by size of business and vertical market.
In-Stat's market study found the following:
- They forecast a 7 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), overall, for managed services through 2012.
- While a majority of business functions are still performed in-house, In-Stat research shows that convergence and complexity will aid in steady, yearly, managed services revenue growth.
- Adoption of managed services varies by business functions, size of business, and vertical market. Providers will need to tailor their managed services offerings accordingly.

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Connects to the internet without permission
NiceNFree is a JustPlugIt application that is distributed for free; however, the drawback is that it will promote advertisements. Remove NiceNFree because a lot of users have been complaining that this adware application keeps flashing ads which keep interrupting their browser session, and they are extremely annoying. It is one of numerous adware tools designed for Internet browsers that spread through the Internet promising to inform users about the best shopping opportunities. However, keep in mind that it is another way of saying that your browser will be constantly filled with advertising material which you would not want to see.
NiceNFree displays various coupons and promotions in the form of intrusive pop-ups, banners, in-text ads. Most of the time, promoted content is tagged by "Brought to you by NiceNFree," "Powered by NiceNFree," and other similar phrases. Also it displays price comparisons when you visit online shopping websites like Amazon.com. Though NiceNFree is friendly enough to inform about its presence and the links you probably would not want to click on (remember, they might lead to potentially dangerous content!), you should delete this adware tool if you do not want to have your workflow being interrupted all the time.
Like similar applications, NiceNFree rarely spreads alone (its official site niceandfree.net is not even functioning at the moment), but attaches itself to freeware and shareware programs. Be vigilant during the installation of the free applications and utilities you download from third-party sites so that you could deselect NiceNFree from the installation wizard before this adware has been installed it to your system. A tip from us: When looking for risk-free software, choose trusted websites and developers you already know.
NiceNFree is not so honest when it comes to entering your system. To do that it might use certain tricks like randomizing its name, niceNfrEau and nicenFREe being the prime examples. If the application goes by one of the aforementioned names, know that it is the same NiceNFree, and therefore you should delete it.
As it has already been mentioned, the JustPlugIt framework was utilized to develop NiceNFree which is already a strong indication that you ought to remove the adware program without much thinking. It belongs to the same strain of the JustPlugIt adware tools like RealDeal, TicTacCoupon, Lucky Coupon, and others which are known to be employed by suspicious third parties to promote specific content and to lead users to malicious content.
To conclude, NiceNFree is an adware application which has no real function besides flooding your browser with distracting advertisements. It is known that these promoted links can hide potentially dangerous content that might infect your system with malware. Avoid NiceNFree at all costs, and if it is already on your computer, follow the instructions below to delete this adware application.

Director, Connect Culture
What makes a good leader?
A leader is different from a mentor or a manager. You follow a leader and that training allows you to grow and progress in your own way. A leader also has the ability to develop others into leaders so that there will not be a void when the person is gone but that others can continue the work.
Is leadership different for disabled people?
Yes, having an impairment should, although this is not universally true, help you to be more inclusive and flexible in your approach to solving challenges. It should open you up to thinking out of the box and be creative.
A disabled person, to be an effective leader, has to see him/her self in a capacity beyond their own experiences of exclusion and believe in involvement in society, in community, in the cultural, political, and spiritual spheres as well as in equal citizenship.
Are there barriers to leadership for disabled people that non disabled people don't experience?
The biggest barrier is the attitudinal barrier posed by others, many of which would be patronizing and have low expectations. Non disabled people do not carry the discrimination baggage that others put on disabled people. Non disabled people do not get the assumption that a disabled leader got there as a token salve to equality, a bit like the token woman or the black representative. Non disabled people do not have the environmental barriers nor do they need to have extra organization to be able to work. Non disabled people do not have to battle with social services for care packages or Access to Work.

FCC's Chief Diversity Officer Wants Private Broadcasters to Pay a Sum Equal to Their Total Operating Costs to Fund Public Broadcasting
(CNSNews.com) – Mark Lloyd, newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do.
Lloyd presented the idea in his 2006 book, Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America, published by the University of Illinois Press.
Lloyd's hope is to dramatically upgrade and revamp the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through new funding drawn from private broadcasters.
The CPB is a non-profit entity that was created by Congress and that currently receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal subsidies each year. In fiscal 2009, it is receiving an appropriation of $400 million.
"The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) must be reformed along democratic lines and funded on a substantial level," Lloyd wrote in his book.
"Federal and regional broadcast operations and local stations should be funded at levels commensurate with or above those spending levels at which commercial operations are funded," Lloyd wrote. "This funding should come from license fees charged to commercial broadcasters. Funding should not come from congressional appropriations. Sponsorship should be prohibited at all public broadcasters."
Along with this money, Lloyd would regulate much of the programming on these stations to make sure they focused on "diverse views" and government activities.
"Local public broadcasters and regional and national communications operations should be required to encourage and broadcast diverse views and programs," wrote Lloyd. "These programs should include coverage of all local, state and federal government meetings, as well as daily news and public issues programming.
"In addition, educational programs for children and adults, and diverse, independent personal and cultural expression should be encouraged," he wrote.
Dennis Wharton, Executive Vice President of Media Relations at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) told CNSNews.com that his organization, which represents radio and television broadcasters, supports public broadcasting, but that that support should come from the public in general not broadcasters alone.
"NAB supports federal funding for public broadcasting," said Wharton. "However, we would oppose efforts to fund public broadcasting through fees assessed against free and local broadcasters who are experiencing the worst advertising recession in 50 years."
Lloyd wrote Prologue to a Farce while a senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress. In that capacity, he co-authored the 2007 report The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio, which concluded that 91% of talk radio programming is conservative and 9% is "progressive."
The report argued that large corporate broadcasting networks had driven liberals off the radio, and that diversity of ownership would increase diversity of broadcasting voices.

Theo, Theo Theo Walcott, his an Englishman at Arsenal.
For a long time, I have been a supporter of Theo Walcott. Maybe it is because I back the under dog. Maybe it is because I felt he often came in for some unfair criticism by other fans.
In 2012/13, he was brilliant, it was his breakthrough season. 21 goals in 43 games playing out wide. Yet still some criticised.
The last two seasons, he has been hampered by various injuries, causing him to play just 38 games. He still managed to scored 13 goals.
He seems to have regained some of his fitness this year, playing 20 out of Arsenal's 32 games. But he has an issue. He has been poor.
Earlier in the season, when played upfront, he looked good. Sharp, quick, direct. It looked as if he was regaining that form of 2012/13. However, a slight injury took him out of the team. His return came in the middle of an injury crisis, which saw him moved to the left hand side.
The first game back was against Olympiacos. With Joel Campbell performing well on the right hand side, and being more natural on the right than left, a decision was clearly made to play the senior player out of position. In this case, Theo Walcott.
He finished the game with glowing praise. Drifting inside from the left at pace, he was electric. A danger.
Next up was Aston Villa. He cut inside Alan Hutton, breaking away at speed, forcing Hutton to bring him down for a penalty. He also played a key part in Arsenal's second, drifting in from the left to put through Mesuit Ozil who in turn squared it to Aaron Ramsey to score.
Then came his peak moment. Playing against Manchester City. Cutting in and bending one into the top corner. It was Sanchez-esque. It was Pires -esque.
Since that City game, however, Walcott has disappointed. He ha snow gone 6 games without a goal or assist.
Whilst a 6 game barren run is by no means a disaster, just a dip in form, it is his own field attitude which has disappointed.
He has looked disinterested. Unmotivated. He has not bust a gut to get forward. Nor to get back. It is as if he is playing within himself. Struggling to get himself involved.
Now it could be that he is playing with a slight injury, so he is playing at 80% so as to not aggravate it further, and once other players return, we will see him disappear back to the treatment table.
His play has also become predictable. Against Stoke, it was always obvious what he was going to do. Get the ball, and try and cut in on his right. They handled him easily.
What is clear is that Theo Walcott on the left does not work. He is a square peg in a round hole.
Alongside Walcott's dip in form on the left, Joel Campbell has looked tired at times on the right. Whilst he lasted 90 minutes against Stoke, he was puffing towards the end.
Luckily for Arsenal, players are starting to come back from injury. With Alexis Sanchez returning for Chelsea, he will return to his position on the left hand side. That will give Wenger a decision on the right, Walcott or Campbell.
Personally, he should go for Walcott. The better player. The senior pro. It will also ensure that we do not become too narrow.
Hopefully a return to the right this weekend sees Walcott return to form.

Former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill asked the Colorado Court of Appeals on Wednesday to give him his job back and reverse a district judge's ruling that the regents who fired him were immune from his First Amendment lawsuit.
Churchill was fired from the university's ethnic studies department in 2007 for academic misconduct.
His termination came after an essay he wrote that likened some victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to a World War II Nazi official.
CU investigated whether his essay was protected under the First Amendment and found that it was. But while the investigation was underway, academics came forward and accused him of plagiarism and fraud in scholarly writings, which led to his termination.
Churchill sued the university and was awarded $1 in damages by Denver jurors who determined that he was fired in retaliation for his speech.
But then-Chief Judge Larry Naves decided not to give Churchill his job back and set aside the jury's verdict. Naves also ruled that CU's regents, who are elected, acted as a "quasi- judicial" panel that had immunity from the lawsuit.
On Wednesday, Churchill's attorney, David Lane, asked the court for a new trial on the issue of whether the investigation into Churchill's speech and scholarly work was an adverse employment action that chilled the flow of free speech on campus.
"They were not acting as a 'quasi-judicial' panel, they were acting as politicians," Lane told the court.
CU attorney Patrick O'Rourke argued that the university cannot be "handcuffed" from conducting an investigation of an employee, especially if an allegation of academic misconduct is made.
O'Rourke denied that the investigation was an adverse employment action that impacted free speech on campus.
"There is no credible evidence that this chilled speech at the University of Colorado," said O'Rourke, who added that fellow professors who supported Churchill were not punished for doing so.
He also told the court that Churchill should not be allowed back on campus to teach.
"The university has the right to define the standards of conduct for its employees," he said.
Churchill attended the hour-long hearing and said that since his trial, he has started writing a book about his case against CU.
"I will be teaching again on the Boulder campus," he said.
A ruling on his appeal is expected in several weeks.

We love fresh ideas, creative visions, and new styles. Brides come to us with pinterest boards, and website photos sharing their dream of their perfect wedding dress. It's our job to make their dream come true, and in order to do so we must carry the appropriate designs in our Bridal Salon. It's important to us to capture the latest trends and styles that the brides are looking for, therefore designers are our lifeline to remaining current and relevant in the wedding dress industry.
Meet Marlon, one of the designers for Essense of Australia. He is scheduled to be at Formally Yours, June 26th and June 27th. In anticipation of his visit, we scheduled a phone interview and I was intrigued about what he had to say about his career on the wedding dress design team for Essense.
Marlon hails from Brazil where he grew up with a father who was a professional tailor. Growing up around fabric and thread and clothing gave him his initiation into the fashion world. At an early age Marlon knew that fashion was his calling. He became interested in designing and pursued his passion at The Massachusetts School of Art and Design. His first love was bridal and evening couture. After a few years of bridal and evening, he did a short stint with ready to wear, but soon, his true love came calling and he once again began designing for bridal where he continues his creative calling.
At Essense of Australia, he is 1 of 4 designers, and he designs for all 3 divisions, Martina Liana, Essense and Stella York. His designs sell all over the world, and through the 3 different lines within the Essense of Australia brand, he feels like he has the ability to cater to all brides. He is a very hands-on designer who secretly visits stores to seek bride's desires and interests as he loves to design from her point of view. In addition, he turns to the red carpet for inspiration for his designs. He realizes that women of all ages are heavily influenced by what they see on air and in magazines. His search for the perfect design also includes his thirst for new finishes, cuts and techniques.
Being Brazilian, Marlon appreciates the female figure and designs dresses that move gracefully over a woman's shape. He understands the desire for brides to be beautiful and elegant but to feel a little sexy. And, he conquers this mission by starting off with a shell of a dress, draping it over a body and adding fabrication, lace and the optional beading according to how the dress drapes and flows. Each of his designs starts out hand- made and individually designed before it hits the factory.
As fashion goes, it is important for a designer to have an identity. His is his love of fabric and how it behaves. His personal favorite designs are the ones created from crepe. The drape of crepe fabric falls gently and feels sexy on the body. Lace and lace placement are also very crucial in Marlon's designs. And, as he thoughtfully builds the creation from the inside out, he allows the process to be organic. He may start with a specific idea for a design, but is open to freely changing the shape of the dress as it comes to life. The key attributes to each design take place piece by piece as he goes along. So, the finished product is truly a work of art built from the brilliant mind of an authentic artist.
So, if you are searching for the dress of your dreams. Look to Essense of Australia at Formally Yours, where customers are #1. Bring us your pinterest boards and website photographs and let us capture your vision. Here at Formally Yours, we are good listeners with a desire and a passion for bridal. We are the matchmakers in the wedding dress industry, matching you to your wedding dress style. After all, it's your day your way.

Jenn Shinaberger stumbled onto improv comedy on her way to becoming a storyteller, and was instantly hooked. During her classes at Carolina Improv Company she realized that she has been doing improv comedy with her family and friends most of her life. Jenn's past performance credits include her one line and opening solo as Hattie in "Kiss Me Kate" in a community-theatre massacred production, which was her theatre debut and retirement. Luckily, Jenn found improv comedy where she does not have to memorize anything and her nerdy, deadpan sense of humor is appreciated.
In her professional life, Jenn is the assistant director of the faculty development center at Coastal Carolina University and a teaching associate. Jenn is married to Lee Shinaberger, who is conveniently a fellow player so she can practice improv at home. Jenn credits improv with opening her up to many new possibilities in life. After all, when your main goal is to have fun and make people laugh, it's the best thing in the world.

Teaching conversation in Thailand
Some ideas to make conversation classes more successful
Students find the ability to be understood in a foreign language the most gratifying aspect of the pain of learning it. If they don't get an opportunity to speak in the classroom they'll soon get bored.
Who speaks the best English?
Postbox letter from Paul Clifton
I have been coming to Thailand for near on 5 years now and I have noticed that the best speakers of English are those that need to use it for work
Thoughts on the Thais' English-speaking ability
Postbox letter from Methaya Sirichit
OK I have read a variety of opinions on the topic of 'Why can't Thais speak English?' Some are correct but some are outright shallow.
How to talk to foreigners in Thailand
We don't bite. Well - a handful might I suppose.
This won't be a list of grumbles about Thai ignorance or rudeness. I don't intend to criticise Thai culture here - that's another debate entirely. If you're a Thai who couldn't care less about foreigners, don't particularly care about their feelings and think screaming "Helloooo!" at them from the back of your Fino is the height of wit, this article is not for you.
Getting ready for 2015
What will be the effects of the new ASEAN community on foreign teachers?
English is clearly the key to success and opportunity in the new ASEAN community. It is not only the official language; it is also the 'world' language which is used across the globe for nearly all international dialogue and trade. English will be used at all levels of Thai society from 2015.

The week has passed in a whirlwind as I packed up my life in Indiana and headed for Texas to be with my mom.
The lists were long every day as I would wake up and add a few more chores. I could never get as much done as possible as friends and neighbors continued to pop in for various reasons.
By 2:00 a.m. on Friday I knew I had it all done and headed to Fort Wayne. Jessie took me to the airport (lifted and carried my bag as well!) and off I went into the heart of Texas.
I found the heat to be quite extreme coming from the lush gardens and sweetness of cool northern Indiana, but continued to walk at night as I always do!
Mom and I have had (and are continuing to have) a wonderful weekend. Some of the time we sorted through dad's things in his library, other times we went out for margaritas and movies!
We have spent the afternoon packing up again as the two of us are going to Ocracoke tomorrow morning. She will be staying a week and there are so many events planned! I know she will have a great time, as will I.
I will post pictures all summer of Ocracoke activities.
So, for now, we made it through Father's Day and we are off for a girlfriend trip to my favorite place.
The above picture was taken at the Whistle Stop Tea Room in Tomball, Texas.
From left to right: me, my niece Kenna, my sister Leslie (Kenna's mom), and my mom. We had a great time visiting, and well, drinking tea! (Iced tea for the summer, by the way.)
Until Ocracoke, happy Solstice.

James Coleman was an heraldic and genealogical bookseller and publisher in London in the second half of the 19th century. As a second hand dealer he sold marriage settlements, wills, rent rolls, peerage claims, private and local Acts of Parliament, appeal cases, pedigrees, deeds, autograph letters, maps and so on as well as new and second hand books on heraldry, topography and biography.
His catalogues give brief details of the items for sale, and the Society has in its library bound copies of these catalogues from 1859-1911.
A card index of nearly 50,000 names was compiled by Brigadier-General Alfred Cavendish (1859-1943) in 1936, giving the volume and catalogue number for the item where that person was mentioned. It was this index that was digitised. For volumes 1-113 additional information was added from the catalogue entry regarding date, year and type of document. Mr L A Muriel typed up the original card index and additional detail.
Although the information given about a document is often sparse, it can in some cases (eg. Devon wills) provide reference to a document that no longer exists.
As the documents were sold on the open market, no information is available on their current whereabouts, if they have survived.
It is hoped to add images of the catalogue entries in due course.

Wade Hunting
Sneak along small creeks of the sort you find in piedmont and coastal plain country across the South, approaching each twist and turn of the stream's meandering flow while you are on red alert. This is usually best done by wading, because the banks of the stream will help provide cover. However, if the creek is too deep (streams 15 to 20 feet wide, not rivers), you can take to the shoreline as necessary. With sufficient stealth and woodsman's skills, it's possible to get well within gun range before the ducks see you and take wing. Often they idle in eddies or quiet water where a stream makes a big turn, and that behavioral pattern lets you get close. This is strictly a one-man operation, and for those who revel in solitude the wade-watch-and-listen technique is a dandy.
Float Hunting
Use a johnboat or a canoe to get to the ducks. This is the obvious route to take on small rivers that are too deep for wading, but also too small for larger boats to navigate. The "paddle 'em up" approach is also ideal for getting to woodies stationed way back at the end of narrow sloughs, and a canoe can come in handy when you want to enter a hardwood swamp (a favorite hideaway for woodies) that might stretch for miles. It's basically a two-man operation, with a guy in the back doing the paddling and the gunner sitting in the front of the boat or canoe. Rotate on the paddle to keep everything fair.
When hunting hardwood swamps, especially extensive ones (and there are swamps meeting this general description all along the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains), be sure you have a compass or a GPS, or stay close to familiar runs. Otherwise you could find yourself lost in a wood duck wilderness or, as the wife of a friend who was once involved in such a hunt put it, a participant in "an idiot roundup."
Hunting Wood Ducks on Small Ponds
If you have the good fortune to have access to a bunch of farm ponds (the one- to 10-acre size that wood ducks love), spend some time creeping or crawling up to them. Usually this is best done by using the dam as cover, although if you peek over the dam top only to find woodies are out of range somewhere on the pond, a strategic retreat and reassessment of your options is in order. In such situations there's a real advantage to hunting with a buddy. If the ducks are out of range when you spot them, try to figure out which way they are likely to fly when one of you shows your face. If the other guy can sneak into that flight path, he can get some pass-shooting.As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

RIP Kenny McKinleyThe NFL and some of its players are making headlines this week -- and not in a good way.
Kerry McKinley, a 23-year-old wide receiver of the Denver Broncos, was found dead on Monday afternoon, apparently of suicide from a self-inflicted gun shot wound. He died in his home, which is located in Centennial, Colorado. He has a young son who was visiting at the time, but thank goodness the son wasn't in the residence when the suicide took place.
Head coach Josh McDaniels said in a statement on the Broncos' website:
"Kenny had a promising future on the football field, but more importantly, he was a great teammate whose smile and personality could light up the room .... This is a tragic loss for our football team, and his family is in all of our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
This by far is the saddest news to come out of the NFL this week. But there are other players and harassed sexy reporters who are grabbing the headlines as well.
The New York Jets are newsworthy again -- not for the winning performance over the New England Patriots last Sunday, but because of the (seemingly never-ending) controversy surrounding Ines Sainz, and star wide receiver Braylon Edwards getting arrested for drunk driving early Tuesday morning.
Edwards was pulled over in Manhattan for having excessively tinted windows and driving erratically. His blood alcohol level was at 0.16, which was double the legal limit in New York.
He was traded from the Cleveland Browns after punching a man back in October, so it seems he hasn't learned how to stay out of trouble quite yet.
The NFL also announced that even though they were "disappointed" of how the Jets' players and coaches acted around Ines Sainz, the league won't punish the team. Of course, the debate whether female reporters should be in male athletes' locker rooms and what these women should wear will most likely be discussed and dissected all season long. This is sad news for football fans: Can we get back to football, please?
If that isn't enough sports news for you yet (if you're still with me, kudos to you), Reggie Bush, star running back for the New Orleans Saints, is hurt! The exciting win last night against the San Francisco 49ers came at a high cost: Bush is out for six weeks due to a broken fibula. You poor fantasy players out there!
It's only Week 3, people. If you're sick of football already, get prepared -- stories and controversies from around the league are just warming up, and if this is a taste of what's to come, let's hope we can fit a happy tale in among all these depressing ones!
What do you think of everything that's going on in the NFL? Are you a Broncos/Jets/Saints/Sainz fan?

Master Thesis subject (30 ECTS)
Genetic diversity is of particular concern for conservation biologists due to its effects on population recovery, species interactions or community structure (Schoener 2011;Hufbauer et al. 2015). In the current biodiversity crisis, our ability to infer the eco-evolutionary processes shaping and maintaining spatial patterns of genetic diversity is thus key to propose efficient conservation policies (Crandall et al. 2000; Hendry et al. 2010). Nevertheless, while the importance of evolution in conservation biology is now widely recognized, eco-evolutionary processes are only barely considered in conservation practice and policies (Mace 2008). Networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), some of the main tools to mitigate the impact of global change on marine biodiversity, are a good illustration of the gap existing between ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation practices (Gaines et al. 2010). First, the vast majority of MPA networks is focused on the conservation of economically important fish stocks while the maximization of biodiversity has been somewhat disregarded (Beger et al. 2003). Then, patterns of genetic diversity and underlying processes are only rarely taken into account. In this context, the present study will take part into filling this gap between ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation practices. More particularly, we will conduct a comparative population genetics study between two Mediterranean habitat-forming octocorals, the red coral, Corallium rubrum, and the red gorgonian, Paramuricea clavata, in a network of MPAs along the Catalan coast (Natural Park of Cap de Creus; Natural Park of Montgri, Medes Islands and Baix Ter). The importance of considering habitat-forming species in the management of MPAs has been recently emphasized due to their central ecological role (Palumbi et al. 2007). Moreover, comparative studies between species allow inferring the relative impact of species-specific processes vs. shared environmental factors (e.g. environmental barrier) on the patterns of diversity (Selkoe et al. 2014). A previous genetic survey based 13 populations of P. clavata (Arizmendi-Meija 2015) was conducted in the region demonstrating the occurrence of three main genetic clusters (Cap de Creus vs. Medes vs. Montgri) characterized by contrasted levels of isolation. More particularly, we suggested the occurrence of a quasi-impermeable barrier to gene flow between Montgri and the two remaining clusters without link with the geographic distance. Based on a comparable sampling scheme (i.e. from 10 to 15 populations in the same MPAs network) in C. rubrum and using previously developed microsatellite markers, the objectives of the project are: 1) to characterize the spatial pattern of genetic structure in C. rubrum; 2) to infer the underlying eco-evolutionary processes with particular emphasize on genetic connectivity and genetic drift; 3) to contrast the results with those previously obtained for P. clavata in order to point processes shaping the genetic diversity across species. The master student will be involved in the different steps of the project with the exception of the sampling, which will be conduct during spring and summer 2016. These steps include molecular work (DNA extraction, PCR amplification), genotyping (allele scoring) and statistical analysis (genetic diversity, genetic structure, species comparisons). The obtained results will be discussed in a conservation biology framework. This project should shed new light on the ecology of the two studied species with direct implication for the management practices of the studied MPA network.

Kent State's VITA Program Seeks Volunteers to Assist in Its Free Services This Tax Season
Kent State University's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is seeking volunteers to assist in a free tax-filing service this tax season for low- to moderate-income individuals who qualify to have their income taxes filed free of charge.
Paula DiVencenzo, business and finance tax manager at Kent State, says that she is seeking volunteers who would like to lend a helping hand while gaining valuable professional skills.
"Volunteers have meaningful interactions with clients and play a critical role in ensuring the clients take advantage of all the deductions and credits available to them," DiVencenzo says. "Volunteers will receive free IRS training and support, which will lead to more confidence in their ability to prepare their own tax return and their friends' and family's returns, while gaining the invaluable real-world experience that looks good on a resume."
Training sessions will begin the week of Jan. 14. Sessions related to foreign student and scholar returns will be held on Jan. 26 and Feb. 23. Volunteers are required to attend a training class or self-study online, and all volunteers will certify online.
DiVencenzo says that volunteering for the VITA program will help students enhance their communication, technical, problem-solving and leadership skills. Although students are encouraged to volunteer, the program is encouraging all members of the community to participate in the VITA program.
Andy Yan, accounting graduate student at Kent State, says that he gained valuable experience while volunteering for the Kent State VITA program. Yan says that he learned how to use TaxWise, a tax software program, as a volunteer.
DiVencenzo says that there are additional volunteer positions available that do not require certification, including greeters, clerical assistants and receptionists.
According to Yan, volunteering for the VITA program is a great learning experience and is quite rewarding.
"It's good to help people," Yan says. "I want to give back to our community."

Great things happen every day at Seattle Humane but we can't take all the credit. Our life-saving work depends on support from the community – generous donors, dedicated volunteers and animal-loving children. Yes, children. They are often the best champions of pets in need, involving their family and friends in the effort to save lives.
At Seattle Humane, we're lucky to have a few of these young advocates on our team. Like Gillian, a crafty entrepreneur who channeled her creativity into a life-saving enterprise. She started out with a lemonade stand and later developed her own company called Spritzers. Her company sells scented hair and lip balm products to support animals at local shelters.
Last January, in the spirit of team rivalry, Gillian and a friend stood outside CenturyLink stadium and sold handcrafted "Fan Bands" at the Seahawks vs. 49ers game. For a suggested donation of $12, you could have a custom-made bracelet sporting the Hawks' blue and green. The 12th Man didn't disappoint and Gillian raised $626 for Seattle Humane!
Lizzie, an aspiring writer and self-proclaimed cat fanatic, generously donated her time to write foster features for special-needs cats. Her skills as a writer will help highlight these cats in hopes of finding them the purrfect home. Stay tuned for a look at her first blog post!
Our youngest contributor, Jack, is in the second grade and he's a part of The Giraffe Club. The Giraffe Club is about sticking your neck out in the community to make a difference, and he chose Seattle Humane to benefit from his school project. He utilized our online fundraising tool, People Helping Pets, and raised nearly $800 to provide food, shelter and medical care for homeless animals.
It's important to mention that these young philanthropists range in age from 8-11 years old. Their empathy and call-to-action are not only noteworthy but contagious! They're inspiring other young people to get involved, and we're finding that more and more families are choosing to support shelter pets together. Saving lives can be a new family tradition!
How can kids and teens help?
Sign up for Humane Teen Club (Teens 13-17)
A selected group of teens ages 13-17 can volunteer time as a Humane Teen Club member. Learn more!
Host a Pet Food Drive
Donations of pet food, supplies, toys and cat litter are always needed. Many of these items are distributed to low-income senior and/or disabled pet owners through our community outreach programs.
Knit Blankets for Cats Awaiting Adoption
All of the cats in our care receive a blanket or towel to make their space more comfortable. The cats especially love knit blankets. This is a great way to learn a new skill or practice an old one, and benefit the pets on our campus.
Make Catnip Toys for Our Fabulous Felines
Catnip-filled socks make wonderful toys! All you need are baby socks, cotton balls, dried catnip and a needle and thread. Take a baby sock and fill it with cotton balls and catnip in the center. Then sew off the top of the sock and clip any loose threads. You're done!
Coordinate a Coin Drive
Collect coins from family, friends and neighbors or monitor a coin collection at a business or your school. When the can is full, bring it to Seattle Humane.
Host a Fundraiser of Your Choice
Hold bake sales, yard sales, craft sales, participate in walk-a-thons (like our Walk for the Animals), and much more! Feel free to use your imagination to come up with a fundraising idea. Our online fundraising website, People Helping Pets, can also help you raise funds at your event.

Daniel Dapo Oyebanjo, more popularly known as D'banj is gradually snapping out of mourning weeks after the sudden and painful death of his one year old son, Daniel the third. Apparently, the grieving father is finally ready to take the stage again albeit in an emotional way.
D'banj who disappeared totally from the Instagram since the incident, has spoken again, for the first since he thanked people for their support after little Daniel's demise.
In his new post, D'banj has hinted that he might be performing after all at the Global Citizen Festival coming up later in the year. He shared the poster for the event with the caption: "It is on us to end poverty".
The singer has been scheduled to perform alongside top artistes like Beyonce, Jayz, Usher, Wizkid, Femi Kuti, Tiwa Savage and some others in Johannesburg.

As you may remember, I wrote, during the 'Islamo-Fascism' week campaign, to the organisers and supporters of this event questioning their a-historical use of Fascism (something that they never experienced neither directly nor indirectly) but of which they seem to be great experts in every sense.
Today, I found, by chance, that the lack of an answer to my rather old post, was not, as I assumed, a clear evidence of 'menefreghismo' of fascist memory, or a clear dismissal of an academic discussion on the issue, but actually a matter of time. Indeed, today we can read Spencer replying to one of his worshipers,
Thanks. I hadn't seen that first one before. It is patronizing, but I may answer his questions if time permits at some point. One glaring problem is that he ignores my many statements about how many, if not most, Muslims have no interest in waging jihad, and pretends that I think most or all do. […]'
Of course, I hope that Mr Spencer can find the time to debate, correctly and academically, the topic with me and also clarify why I am 'patronizing' only for, as I have done with Dr MacEoin, daring to ask questions. Continue reading

Document Type
Despite China's legislative attempts to conserve its natural resources and in turn protect biodiversity, Chinese law in many aspects remains ineffective in pursuit of these goals due to struggles with implementation, enforcement, and insufficient public participation, as well as legislative prioritization of economic values over ecological ones. This Article provides an overview of biodiversity and conservation legislation in China, and suggests that China can improve this legislation by increasing the public's role in conservation efforts, increasing liability and enforcement mechanisms, and improving administrative coordination.

15 years to life in S.F. dog maul death
SAN FRANCISCO Dog owner didn't even dial 911, judge says
Marjorie Knoller did practically nothing while her dogs were fatally mauling a neighbor in a San Francisco apartment hallway, and later blamed the victim for her own death, a judge said Monday in sentencing the former attorney to 15 years to life in prison for second-degree murder.
In rejecting a defense lawyer's request for probation, Judge Charlotte Woolard of San Francisco Superior Court said the horrific circumstances of the attack Jan. 26, 2001, far outweighed Knoller's previous crime-free record.
Woolard said Knoller had not bothered to put a muzzle on her aggressive 140-pound Presa Canario dog before taking it out of the apartment. Knoller did not call for help, retrieve a weapon or dial 911 while the animal was mauling Diane Whipple for at least 10 minutes, the judge said. A second Presa Canario that Knoller and her husband and law partner, Robert Noel, kept in their apartment may have joined the attack.
Whipple, 33, the women's lacrosse coach at St. Mary's College in Moraga, bled to death from at least 77 wounds. Knoller, 53, was paroled from prison in 2004 after serving about three years for involuntary manslaughter, but was returned to custody Aug. 22 after Woolard reinstated the jury's murder verdict. Knoller's husband, who was not home when the attack happened, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and paroled in September 2003.
Knoller testified at her trial that she did everything she could to save her neighbor. Woolard, however, concluded that she made only "minimal efforts" at intervention and "left Ms. Whipple in the hallway to die alone."
She also said Knoller lied repeatedly in grand jury and trial testimony, has never expressed remorse and "blamed the victim" in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" 13 days after the attack.
In that interview, which prosecutors played for the trial jury, Knoller said Whipple had ample opportunity to get back into her apartment and save herself.
Monday's 25-minute hearing included a statement from Whipple's partner, Sharon Smith, who looked at Knoller and declared that more than seven years after "the worst day of my life and the last day of Diane's life, finally there is some justice."
Loaded weapons
Knoller "valued her dogs over the lives of her fellow human beings," Deputy District Attorney Allison Macbeth told the judge. She compared the dogs to "loaded assault weapons" and said Knoller had allowed them to roam through her Pacific Heights apartment building with little restraint.
Knoller, wearing orange jail clothing, looked straight ahead throughout the hearing and did not speak before being led away by guards.
Her lawyer, Dennis Riordan, said afterward that she had numerous grounds for appeal. He cited the court's substitution of Woolard for the now-retired trial judge, Woolard's discounting of the judge's finding that Knoller hadn't known her dog could kill anyone, and a continuing dispute over the application of the murder law to such a case.
The crime "is not and has never been murder," Riordan told reporters. He said Knoller's chance of success on appeal "depends on whether we get a judgment that's controlled by law or a judgment that's controlled by San Francisco politics."
Prosecutors said it was the first murder conviction for a dog mauling in California history.
Dogs owned by inmates
Knoller and Noel had custody of the two Presa Canario dogs, which were owned by inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison.
On the day of the attack, Knoller took the larger dog, Bane, for a walk on the roof of the apartment building and returned to the sixth-floor corridor when the dog bolted away from her and attacked Whipple as she was about to enter her apartment. Bane's 100-pound mate, Hera, charged out of Knoller's apartment and may have joined the attack.
Second-degree murder
A jury in Los Angeles, where the trial was moved because of extensive publicity in the Bay Area, convicted Knoller of second-degree murder in 2002 and found Noel guilty of involuntary manslaughter for leaving the dogs with his wife while knowing she couldn't control them.
Judge James Warren of San Francisco Superior Court, who presided over the trial, reduced Knoller's conviction to involuntary manslaughter, saying he believed her when she said she had no idea Bane might kill someone.
But the state Supreme Court ruled last year that Warren had used the wrong legal standard in overturning the murder verdict. The court said prosecutors seeking a murder conviction for dog mauling don't have to prove the owner knew the dog was likely to kill, only that the owner had been aware the animal was potentially lethal and had exposed others to the danger.
The court returned the case to Superior Court to decide whether to reinstate the murder conviction. Warren, who has retired, was willing to handle the case, but the court's presiding judge, Davd Ballatti, instead assigned it to Woolard. He said Woolard could focus on the case, while Warren had other responsibilities in his current job as a private arbitrator.
Warnings ignored
After poring through the trial transcript, Woolard reinstated the murder conviction Aug. 22, saying Knoller had ignored warnings that the dogs were dangerous and had seen them attack and threaten other dogs and people.
If the conviction and sentence are upheld, Knoller will be credited with the nearly three years she was imprisoned for manslaughter, making her eligible for parole in about 10 years.
Woolard fined her $10,000 and ordered her to pay $6,800 out of her prison earnings in restitution to Smith.

The UK government must be more proactive in its attempts to curb salaries offered by the country's partly state-owned banks before selling stakes in the companies.
That is according to Eric Chalker, director of the UK Shareholders Association, who believes it is essential for the coalition to take measures soon as public anger towards wages handed out by Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) grows.
Speaking to Reuters, Mr Chalker noted it has now become a truism that "senior bank pay is grossly excessive and, some would say, immoral", meaning the administration should react to these feelings.
At the height of the financial crisis, the government had to use taxpayers' funds to bailout RBS and Lloyds and consequently now controls respective stakes of 82 per cent and 40 per cent in the lenders.
Recently, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat alliance has began the process of selling these shares back to the private sector, but Mr Chalker insisted it must first implement a "sea change in director behaviour".
