Said a spokeswoman for the state Supreme Court agency, "Animals don't understand that court proceedings are not to be disturbed."Jones Day seeks fees before other Chrysler creditors
Supreme Court Refuses to Broaden Death Penalty Review
The Supreme Court refused Monday to directly consider whether the drug combination used in executions in the United States amounts to unconstitutional cruel punishment. The justices had already agreed to hear arguments in April in a case brought by Florida death row inmate Clarence Hill about the procedure for lethal injection challenges.

So, for 2011, he suggests taking a different tack: a reframing of how we think about employees and employers, a reprioritizing of what we consider important, a commitment to open our hearts and minds.
