Ohio killer set for execution found hanged in cell

CLEVELAND (AP) ? A man condemned to death for fatally stabbing a neighbor during a Cleveland burglary was found hanged in his cell Sunday just days before his Wednesday execution.

Billy Slagle, 44, was found at about 5 a.m. at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution south of Columbus and was declared dead within the hour, prison spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said.

"He was in his cell alone. No other inmates suspected to be involved," Smith said in an email. "It does appear to be a suicide."

Under regular prison policy, he was scheduled to be placed under pre-execution watch Sunday morning but "was not yet placed under constant watch," Smith said.

Slagle was sentenced to die for the 1987 stabbing of Mari Anne Pope, who was killed while two young children she was watching were in the house.

In a rare move, the prosecutor in Cleveland asked the Ohio Parole Board to spare Slagle. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty said jurors today, with the option of life without parole, would be unlikely to sentence Slagle to death.

The parole board and Gov. John Kasich both rejected mercy for Slagle.

Last week, Slagle's attorney argued that a jury never got the chance to hear the full details of his troubled childhood.

The attorneys, arguing for a new trial and to delay his execution, said that information met requirements for asking for a new trial, which normally must happen within four months of a conviction.

Slagle was "unavoidably prevented" from filing his request because his original attorneys didn't develop and present the evidence, the filing said.

McGinty and Slagle's attorneys had cited his age ? at 18, he was barely old enough for execution in Ohio ? and his history of alcohol and drug addiction.

Canada criticizes Russian asylum for leaker Snowden

Canada has added its voice to those criticizing Russia for granting asylum to U.S. National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

"This is not something that Canada would have considered to do," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told The Canadian Press in an exclusive interview.

"It is an example where it does show Russia is a bit of an outlier in the G8."

Baird's comments were the first from the Canadian government following the Kremlin's decision to allow Snowden to leave the transit zone in the Moscow airport where he has been living since late June.

Russian President Vladimir Putin granted Snowden asylum for one year on the condition that he stop leaking information about the U.S. The White House said it was "extremely disappointed" by the decision not to turn him over to U.S., which wants to prosecute him for espionage.

Baird's remarks also echoed the criticism that Prime Minister Stephen Harper levelled at Putin prior to the most recent G8 summit in June in Northern Ireland.

Harper characterized the Russian leader as the outlier of the G8.

"This is G7 plus one. OK, let's be blunt. That's what this is, G7 plus one," the prime minister said at the time.

Harper was referring to Putin's continuing support for the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, a position that the rest of the G8 does not endorse.

Putin's apparent defiance of the U.S. in the Snowden case comes after his support of Syria has become a serious irritant in Russia's relations with the West.

Baird declined to elaborate further on the Snowden matter.

He has blasted Russia for its controversial new anti-gay law, calling it hateful and saying it could incite violence.

Baird also revealed that Russia once again found itself standing alone in the G8 when the issue of sexual minorities was raised at the previous summit in May 2012. Russia said it wouldn't agree to a statement that expressed support for the group.

"All G7 countries supported and that included centre-right governments in Germany, in France, in Canada, the United Kingdom," Baird said.

The Snowden affair and Russia's controversial law, which imposes heavy fines for spreading information about gay choices to minors, as well as banning gay pride rallies, appears to be casting a pall over next month's G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The White House said it was reassessing whether President Barack Obama would go through with plans for a pre-G20 tete-a-tete with Putin.

A spokeswoman for Harper says Canada does not shy away from raising human-rights issues in its dealings with Russia.

How Can I Communicate Better at the Office?

Dear Lifehacker,
I feel like I'm never on the same page as my coworkers at work, and I have trouble communicating my ideas to everyone else. Is it possible to improve my communication skills at work so people actually listen to me?

Sincerely,
Quiet Quinn

Dear QQ,
Figuring out the right ways to communicate with your coworkers is a full time job in itself. Everyone's different, as is every office, but let's take a look at how to handle a few of the most common mistakes that might be the root the problem.

Gauge Your Office Environment and Communicate Accordingly

All offices are different. That's partially because companies try and cultivate a specific environment. This means people tend to dress the same and communicate the same in an office. You'll learn these types of things over time, but effective conversation is also about the actual mode of communication.

Every office and every worker has their own communication preference. This might be email, face-to-face conversations, phone, instant messenger, or anything else. US News suggests that a common error amongst coworkers is not figuring out the right mode of communication with each coworker. So, respect the person you're trying to contact and get a hold of them the way they converse best.

If you're not sure exactly how you should be communicating, just ask. As 99U points out, you should find the right communication method and act accordingly:

Each individual has a natural communication style, but to work effectively within a team, you need to determine how much communication needs to happen to make everyone comfortable.... Or it could look like setting up a series of ?If, Then? communication triggers.

For example: ?If you will be out of the office for a week, then give me a status report a couple of days before you leave.? Or, ?If you encounter an issue that will lead to a delay, then notify me as soon as possible.? You can also ask for people to not communicate with you about certain things. For example: ?Please, don?t CC me on every e-mail between you and the printer.? Or, ?Please don?t tell me about issues if they?re problems you can fix yourself.?

Some people don't communicate enough, and others too much. Finding that balance isn't easy, but if you talk about it at the office you'll be better at communicating in the long term.

Watch Your Body Language

Body language plays a key role in communication. A major problem you can run into at work is miscommunication through body language.

The real trick for improving your body language at work is to pay attention to it more. We've pointed out before that you should minimize "moving away" behavior like sighing, averting eyes, and negative body language so you don't communicate something you don't intend. Instead, focus more on positive body language like long periods of eye contact, uncrossed limbs, and genuine smiles.

Body language is a tough one to improve on, but it's about being aware of the cues. It's also okay to just fake it until you're comfortable with it. Open body language can feel awkward when you're not used to it, but the more you try it the more comfortable you'll feel in the long run. Once you understand what you're conveying, it's easier to make sure you're conveying the right thing. Body language is only part of the picture, but it's a bigger part than you might think.

Be Direct

Oftentimes the biggest problem with communication in the workplace is miscommunication. This usually comes when someone isn't clear about goals, projects, or the work that needs to get done. Forbes suggests you keep conversations simple and direct in most circumstances:

Another strategy [Karen] Friedman draws from newscasting: Hit the headline first. Too many of us are just plain long-winded, she says. ?People don?t need to know everything we know,? she explains. ?Think about what the single most important point is that you need to make, the central idea. If your computer died or the fire alarm went off, what would be the one thing they needed to hear...?

Do ask open-ended questions. They can buy time, clarify where another person is coming from and prevent misinterpretation. For instance: ?I?m not sure I understand what you?re saying, so could you give me an example??

In general, our workplace communication should be quick and simple. Don't waste time with unnecessary conversation if you're not friends with someone. Get to the point and move along. When you're direct about any questions you have, everyone is on the same page and communicating more effectively.

In the end, it's really about paying attention to any cues you see in the office and trying to fit your communication style to that. It's not always easy, and it often takes time, but with a little effort you'll be there in no time.

Good luck,
Lifehacker

'Star Trek's' Shuttlecraft Galileo Warps Into Space Center Houston

HOUSTON ??The first shuttlecraft from the original 1967 "Star Trek" television series has landed at a real-life space center for its final away mission.

Space Center Houston, the official visitor center for NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas, unveiled the newly-fan-restored Shuttlecraft Galileo on Wednesday (July 31) during a science fiction celebrity-studded event that featured one of the original actors from the full-scale spacecraft's debut episode.

Actor Don Marshall, who portrayed Starfleet Lieutenant Boma "The Galileo Seven," helped launch the prop's public display. [Restored "Star Trek" Shuttlecraft Galileo Brought Back to Life (Photos)]

"This is Galileo!" announced Marshall as the drape covering the shuttlecraft was pulled away.

Joining Marshall for the lights-and-fog-assisted reveal were actors Robert Picardo ("The Doctor" from "Star Trek: Voyager"), Sylvester McCoy (the seventh "Doctor" from "Doctor Who"), Tracy Scoggins ("Captain Elizabeth Lockley" from "Babylon 5") and Gil Gerard ("Captain William Buck Rogers" from "Buck Rogers in 25th Century"), among other sci-fi stars.

The shuttlecraft's eventual permanent exhibit in Space Center Houston's "Zero-G Diner" will highlight how science fiction has inspired real-life space explorers and workers.

"This is one of our ideas as to what a shuttle should be," NASA astronaut Mike Fincke told SPACE.com after the unveiling. "I had a chance to fly on a real space shuttle, so there is a connection. And it is an exciting connection because now it can be made by everyone."

"Come to Space Center Houston, be inspired and who knows what some of these kids who are going to be inspired what they are going to build in the future," said Fincke, who also had the chance to play an engineer in the final episode of the "Star Trek: Enterprise" TV series in 2005.

Saving the shuttlecraft

The "Galileo" was introduced to viewers in the 16th episode of "Star Trek." The show's producers initially couldn't afford to build the 23-foot-long by 8-foot-tall (7-by-2.4 meter) prop spacecraft. Instead, they relied on the cheaper "Beam us up, Scotty" transporter special effects to show how the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise came and went from the much larger starship. [How 'Star Trek's Shuttlecraft Galileo Was Restored (Video)]

In the Jan. 5, 1967 episode,?the Galileo shuttlecraft was shown transporting Boma (Marshall), Science Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelly), among others, to the surface of the planet "Taurus II" on a mission that would leave the spacecraft in need of repair.

As it turned out, the Galileo suffered even more damage in the decades that followed its seven televised space adventures.

Though never fully dismantled, the steel, wood, and sheet-metal shuttlecraft, which was originally built by a car customizer, fell into disarray as it was passed for a half a century between hands ??first to a school for the blind and then to several "Star Trek" collectors and would-be restorers.

It wasn't until June 2012 when 'Star Trek' superfan Adam Schneider bought the degraded prop through an online auction for $61,000 did the Galileo's fate begin to turn around.

Working with "Star Trek" blogger Alec Peters, Schneider and the team at Master Shipwrights in New Jersey used photos and tips from fans of the show to restore the shuttlecraft to its original screen appearance. The repairs, which took nine months under the guidance of craftsman Hans Mikatis, were completed in June when the Galileo was trucked from the Garden State to the Lone Star State for public display.

"If you had told us a year and a month ago that we would have been able to obtain this thing [and] that we'd be able to figure out how to fix it ... and that we'd be able to donate it to Space Center Houston, the home of America's manned space program, I would have said that's just fabulous," Schneider said.

Galileo Seven meets Faith 7

Now part of Space Center Houston's collection, the Galileo shuttlecraft will be displayed in the same building as some of NASA's most historic spacecraft.

"The addition of Galileo adds to the rich history of space exploration as it pays tribute to the way science fiction ignites our imaginations and has inspired generations of innovators," said Richard Allen, president and CEO of Space Center Houston. "Galileo will join the ranks of many other inspiring exhibits at Space Center Houston, including the recent space shuttle mockup addition and the biggest expansion in our history, the 747 Shuttle Carrier Project."

During the same visit to see Galileo, Space Center Houston guests can see the Apollo command module "America" that flew astronauts on the last mission to the moon, the two-man Gemini 5 spacecraft and "Faith 7," Gordon Cooper's Mercury capsule that 50 years ago this past May lifted off on NASA's last one-man mission.

But the Galileo is not Space Center Houston's first foray into exhibiting science fiction artifacts.

Previous temporary exhibits have included costumes and props from the "Star Wars" movies, including a full-size Starfighter vessel and an original prop lightsaber that was flown aboard the real-life space shuttle.

"As Galileo takes it place at Space Center Houston, it does so to capture the imagination and inspire the next generations,? Allen said. ?It will serve as a tool with which we can imagine endless possibilities."

This article was corrected to reflect that Capt. Kirk was not part of the Galileo crew during the "Galileo Seven" episode.
