no mercy and may you rot in hell." nearly five years to the day of the shooting after attorneys on both sides stood before District Judge John McClendon and announced they were ready to try the case which had been pending in the court for more than five years attorneys worked to pare down a pool of hundreds of potential jurors to a 12-person jury panel with four alternates Before jurors heard testimony and opening statements on Feb 6 Daniels entered an open plea of guilty to a count of capital murder of a police officer since Daniels' plea did not arise from a negotiation with the Lubbock County District Attorney From then on the trial focused on what Daniels deserved for his actions the night he shot killed East To find Daniels deserved the death penalty jurors had to answer two questions: Whether the evidence showed a probability that Daniels would commit criminal acts of violence that constituted a continuing threat to the prison population in which he will spend the rest of his life and whether there was proof of mitigating circumstances that should spare him the death sentence For Daniels to get a life sentence without parole at least 10 jurors would have to agree that he wasn't a future danger and 10 had to agree that there was sufficient mitigating circumstances to spare him the death sentence all 12 jurors had to be unanimous to send Daniels to death row Jurors found that Daniels was a future danger but more than 10 of them believed there were mitigating circumstances to spare him the death sentence Attorneys on both sides were given four hours on Wednesday to present their closing arguments during which jurors were given two versions of the defendant Prosecutors argued that the evidence in the three-weeks of testimony portrayed the defendant as a cold who fooled everyone in his life to keep living a drug-fueled They said Daniels executed East because the officer was on the wrong side of his moral world view They said Daniels' actions the night he shot East clearly showed he posed a future danger and that any change he's displayed in the five years of his incarceration at the Lubbock County Detention Center was just another form of manipulation to escape the death penalty defense attorneys argued Daniels killed the officer in the fog of a 30-hour mental health crisis stemming from drug abuse unaddressed mental health issues and grief from the loss of a family member the summer before the shooting They argued to jurors that their client's clean disciplinary record in his five-years at the jail showed Daniels does not pose a threat to the prison community in which he will spend the rest of his life They called on jail volunteers and employees who described Daniels as a model inmate they've seen help others in class or even ease tensions among other inmates They told jurors they believe Daniels would act the same way in a prison setting told jurors that he believed the death penalty was a necessary tool to ride society of evil But it was meant for the worst circumstances He said outside of the 30-hours leading up to the fatal shooting there was no record his client engaged in violent criminal behavior Defense attorney Lauren Byrne told jurors that testimony from Daniels' friends and family showed that for years his parents missed ignored or misinterpreted signs their son was on a path of self-destruction "Meaningful opportunities for treatment and intervention were missed," she said Byrne told jurors her client's drug use and mental instability at the time didn't excuse his actions for the past five and 1/2 years has lived with his actions as he should," she said "They were horrible and none of those contributing factors are excuses Family members told jurors that mental health issues were typically unaddressed or ignored because it was seen as a sign of weakness Byrne said as her client's mental condition deteriorated By the time Daniels was alone with East at the police station he was in the throes of a mental health crisis he irrationally thought the only way out of this was to do what he did," she said "It's senseless and irrational and it was fueled by depression and drugs." Byrne said once her client was immediately remorseful once he came out of the haze of drugs and has wanted to take responsibility for his actions at his first opportunity She said he has and spent his time at the jail strengthening his faith and helping other inmates told jurors she has seen Daniels help a fellow inmate obtain a GED and ease tensions between other inmates during class She said while her client can never make sufficient amends for his actions he still can contribute to the prison community prosecutors said the evidence showed that Easts shooting could have been prevented but Daniels rejected any help he was offered to pull him away from his path who came from an affluent family that owned multiple properties in Seguin including a historical theater was given every advantage to succeed they said he chose to live a life of drugs and crime that he hid from his family and friends "He chose his lifestyle he chose the path has gone down," Lubbock County District Attorney Sunshine Stanek told jurors in her closing argument "Everything he chose his entire life is what put him here today." Prosecutor Barron Slack told jurors that Daniels deserved the death penalty because he has shown an innate "callous indifference to human life and a disrespect for law enforcement" that made him a danger to anyone in prison unnecessary and cold blooded." He said East finally achieved his dream job and was killed because of it He reminded jurors the shock and disbelief Daniels' friends and family expressed when they heard about the deadly shooting "Nobody should learn in the future at cost to themselves what you already know," he said his capacity to deceive and kill is sufficient to prove a future danger." During the trial jurors learned that in his sophomore year of high school he was arrested for possessing synthetic marijuana He was eventually placed on probation and went through the drug court program he said he never stopped using drugs and continued to smoke marijuana saying he drank cranberry juice to get around court-ordered urine drug tests Daniels said he started using drugs in high school and enjoyed getting high But his drug use began to increase in frequency to smother the feelings of melancholy and insecurity that began to growing inside him saying his parents provided him a wonderful childhood in Seguin where he went to private schools and all his needs were met I didn't have anything to be sad about," he said He said his lifestyle choices were influenced by rap music As he attended a private high school in New Braunfels he served as a middle man then began selling directly to them from his own supply He said he experimented with other drugs like LSD and psychedelic mushrooms and even tried getting high on household products such as canned air developing a preference for the taste of a particular brand "It made all the anxiety go away," he said "It gave me courage to do things and say things that I would not have ever done." one of his main driving forces to go to college was to get as far away from his parent's scrutiny though they were unaware of how bad his drug use had become By the end of high school he began using Xanax regularly He told jurors Xanax gave him confidence to do things he wouldn't normally do such as cope with stage fright when he was cast in school play He said when the anti-anxiety drug took hold of him he felt as if there was a screen that separated him from reality he said he also used Xanax to help him do things he wanted to do such as shop lift beers from gas stations He said Texas Tech's reputation as a "party school" appealed to him because knew he would be able to obtain Xanax Daniels told jurors in the hours before the shooting his Xanax supply was running low and he planned to steal a friend's gun so he could rob a Xanax dealer he contacted through another dealer He planned to return the gun without anybody noticing his friend called him back and confronted him about the stolen gun He said he kept the gun and denied stealing it because he was embarrassed Slack said Daniels' actions that night was not a result of a combination of the defendant's depression as defense attorneys argued but part of a long pattern of criminal behavior Daniels engaged in for years "What you saw here is a result of someone's chosen path toward criminal behavior," he said He told jurors the unpredictable nature of Daniels' actions that night showed a great probability that he could commit future acts of violence in prison Evidence at the trial showed that East arrested Daniels after responding to his dorm room to investigate a report the then sophomore's roommates made after hearing a gunshot from his room The investigation shifted when officers found drugs and drug paraphernalia strewn about Daniels' room Evidence at the trial included hours of video from police body worn cameras that not only caught Daniels' interactions with police but also East's shooting Daniels could be seen speaking with officers coherently and appeared to have no trouble with his coordination Friends of Daniels told jurors that they knew the defendant was intoxicated on Xanax because he was often lethargic The trial shed light on how Daniels was able to smuggle the stolen firearm to the Texas Tech police station after his arrest Video showed Daniels shifting his legs and even maneuvering the weapon while sitting in the back of East's police vehicle For a little more than a half-hour Daniels sat with the officer alone in the station's briefing room Daniels' asked the officer about his family before pressing the weapon against his head and shooting him Daniels told jurors that when he encountered the officers in his dorm room his immediate thoughts were about getting rid of the gun without the officers seeing it He said he remembers shooting East but couldn't offer a reason for it I thought this was an opportunity to go out this is how I can go out without doing it to my self." he asked the officer about his family and his children He said East's answer might have determined whether he would pull the trigger he wanted the officer to think about something pleasant before he killed him Daniels said despite being suicidal he didn't try to kill himself with the gun and instead ran away prompting an hour and 1/2 long manhunt on campus Police would later find the murder weapon in a drainage area by Marsha Sharp Freeway near the Texas Tech police station Slack told jurors that Daniels' actions that night and since has been driven by self-preservation "This is not someone who is incoherent," he said Jurors also watched videos of Daniels' arrest at the site of the former Lubbock Municipal Coliseum during which he taunted and goaded law enforcement officers into shooting Evidence of Daniels behavior after the shooting showed him making irrational statements During his interview with detectives he said he was on the phone with his mother as he ran around campus after the shooting cellphone records showed he made no such call Defense attorneys called on a neuropharmacologist who told jurors that an analysis of Daniels' urine three days after the shooting showed an alarming level of Xanax in his system Wilkie Wilkins told jurors that based on Daniels' history of drug use it was possible that the defendant developed a tolerance to the drug's physical effects but could still be irrational Slack said it was unreasonable to believe that intoxication from Xanax one of the most prescribed prescriptions drugs out there "This (shooting) is motivated by self preservation Stanek told jurors the shooting was enough to show Daniels was a future danger "The evidence of future danger is right there and his explanation as to why he asked that question because the question in and of itself wasn't bad enough … is unbelievable," she said She quoted a letter Daniels wrote in his first days at the jail in which he called himself a wolf in sheep's clothing She said Daniels was a self-admitted liar and has known early in the case that he faced the death penalty and has lived in the jail with that possibility hanging over him "When there is no longer the death penalty over his head how will he behave based on what you know about him and what he's capable of?" Stanek asked jurors During his testimony Daniels struggled to express why jurors should show him mercy saying he understood he deserved the death penalty The crime itself is just unforgivable," he said "But then on the other hand I think about my family and the truth is I'm biased in my own favor Stanek told jurors her request for a death sentence wasn't an easy one "One of the hardest things I've ever had to do is to ask you to kill this man," she said pointing at Daniels "But I cannot trust him to go to the prison system and not be a future danger based on what I know about him and what you know about him." Slack told jurors their decision in the case wasn't a simple one "The issues encompassed (in this case) has much to do with other people besides the defendant," he said "It includes the standards that protects police officers punishment for the loss of an innocent life..." However he said capital punishment was a reinforcement of a standard that protects people like East who wore a badge to protect everybody Stanek ended her closing argument by playing a recording of the Texas Tech Police Department's end of watch dispatch for East Jurors heard dispatchers call out East's badge number three times to no response "Unit 635 officer Floyd East End of Watch Oct Stanek said after the trial that she stood by her belief Daniels' character and the threat he posed to the prison population warrants a death sentence "That this office will always stand up for law enforcement," she said "And we will try case after case after case to stand up for law enforcement We respect the jury's verdict and have no idea why or how they arrived at it but we certainly respect it And we're grateful for the time that they spent the hours and hours and hours that they spent on this case."

Of the state programs with undergraduate data the Free Press was able to confirm Western Michigan University saw the largest decline Saginaw Valley State University declined 37% Eastern Michigan and Wayne State universities' enrollment was down 25% But the Michigan Department of Education says in addition to crucial shortages in special ed there are not enough qualified teachers in multiple career/tech areas Shortages of foreign language teachers could impact graduation requirements that kick in for the Class of 2016 requiring students earn two credits of a foreign language to graduate Rick Snyder's push to expand early-childhood programs if not enough qualified teachers in that field are available Some deans of education expressed optimism that the tide might be turning as the economy improves and students realize teaching can offer a satisfying and steady job But the loss of students has prompted some to change their programs and to consolidate classes such as eliminating a hearing-impaired program at EMU of Ann Arbor acted on his dream of becoming a math teacher and is taking classes at EMU for his certificate and for years worked as a project manager for a California HMO But when he moved to Michigan two years ago for his wife's job He said he's aware of the pressure for teachers today he's optimistic and takes the philosophy that he won't worry too much about things he can't control "I can't imagine a society where real human The enrollment decline comes after a decade of reform and new accountability standards that have put intense pressure on teachers for students to score well on standardized tests And much of the education reform discussion centers on improving teacher quality — which some teachers and administrators say ignores real outside factors such as the effect of poverty and there are no quick fixes for anything," said David Hecker president of the American Federation of Teachers-Michigan a fifth-grade teacher in Lakeview Public Schools switched from a 20-year career in the auto industry to teaching In the five years she has been in the classroom She thinks there's too much emphasis on testing and not enough on the profession and art of teaching young people Teaching is becoming de-professionalized." Michigan used to be a state that produced far more teachers than jobs available forcing many aspiring teachers to leave the state for employment the declines have meant rethinking the majors and minors offered within the College of Education In addition to eliminating its hearing-impaired program the college also has consolidated other programs with low enrollment numbers "There's a point at which we really can't offer really tiny courses in a bunch of programs," he said "There are districts that have beginning teachers at the same salary in year four that they started with in year one." And while starting at a salary of $32,000 might not seem so bad still being at that salary years later — "when you're married and talking about starting a family .. may not seem like such a good idea," he said director of advising for the school of education and human development at OU notes that Michigan teachers can still expect to earn a respectable wage with average salaries that are above the national average State data show the average teacher salary in Michigan is about $62,000 interim dean of the college of education at Wayne State says he believes the declines are starting to plateau The drops in the last few years — at Wayne State and some other institutions — have been smaller "I would predict over the next decade a slow increase back as people recognize there is still a job market for teaching," he said OU is expecting its enrollment numbers to increase this fall Saginaw Valley State officials say they expect their numbers will level off Rea said it's important to note that people are still going into the profession "It's a courageous profession that people are drawn to out of passion." Teaching has always been a passion — but for the first year and a half at OU "A lot of it was because of the stigma about teaching," said Meinberg of Royal Oak who is getting a degree in elementary education with a specialty in math tried to steer her away from the profession But after working as an orientation group leader and often telling new students to follow their heart when choosing a career Meinberg completed her first field experience an opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time in a school When it was done she knew she'd made the right decision to switch majors Oakland University is trying to change the conversation about teaching with a campaign called Why Teach The university is asking teachers across the region to answer that question with a short statement The responses will be shared with students who are aspiring teachers and displayed throughout Pawley Hall on the OU campus which houses the school of education and human development shared some of the responses the university has received so far: ■ "Teaching is an opportunity to enrich lives that not many other professionals have." ■ "Teaching gives you the opportunity to make the best difference in the world ■ "There is nothing better than watching children grow and knowing you helped that happen."

it is always necessary to act independently and react based on the current developments taking place at the scene of an incident “The idea behind the crisis notifications in UPlikace is to inform students and workers as soon as possible about emergency events at specific locations or buildings at the university but it is however always necessary to use one’s own reason and assess the situation in place If they decide to use UPlikace due its wide reach to inform people and to send instructions from emergency services that will be stated in the message,” said Jitka Langová More information on UPlikace can be found on the web Over forty new-generation crucian carps were caught by the students of the Master's programme Hydrobiology from the fishpond at the Palacký University Faculty of Science in Olomouc-Holice The harvested fish were transferred to a newly-built pond near the village of Daskabát “The fish were in very good condition and it was clear that they are not suffering in our rescue breeding which suggests that their parents have already spawned at least twice We caught the fish using catch-and-release bait traps into which stale bread was placed,” said Jan Augustynek The crucian carp is one of the most endangered fish species in Czech waters Olomouc scientists therefore focused on its rescue within the ‘Save the crucian carp!’ project the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences also participates we stocked fifty young individuals in the naturally-fed fishpond at the Faculty of Science It is clear from the autumn catch that we have prepared an environment in which the fish thrive We firmly believe that the population of crucian carp which we caught and transported to a pond near Daskabát will do just as well as in our pond,” added Augustynek The aim of the ‘Save the crucian carp!’ project is to map the decline of the crucian carp, identify suitable relict populations for use in its return to the landscape and find sites for its reintroduction.
