Joseph Ayer was sentenced to up to four years in prison Thursday for the reckless motorcycle crash that killed his passenger, Chelsea Olsen, 24, earlier this year.
But before he heard the maximum sentence pronounced, the 30-year-old Cheektowaga man turned directly to Olsen's mother and apologized.
"I would die a thousand deaths to bring her back," Ayer said. "I'm so sorry. I ask for your forgiveness."
The length of the sentence did not matter to Olsen's mother.
"It's not going to change the outcome," Janet Olsen said.
She was the first to speak at the hearing. She turned the rostrum toward the defense table so she could look at Ayer as she spoke, and though she was emotional, she did not unleash angry words.
She asked just one thing of Ayer: Do something every day to honor her daughter's memory. It could be that he simply offers a small, nice gesture every day to anybody.
"It doesn't have to be world-changing," she said.
Each day, just say hello to someone, give a nod, smile at someone, or do anything to make a person feel important, she told him.
"I won't know if you will ever honor my request, but I think Chelsea will know," Olsen told him.
Ayer looked at the mother as she spoke. "I don't hate you," she told him. "I can't hate you."
If she thought it would make her feel better, she would have tried to hate him, she said.
Olsen said she was affected when Ayer turned and spoke directly to her. "It meant something," she said. "And that was important to me."
Police said Ayer was traveling at 85 mph and weaving in and out of traffic before he crashed March 20 on Route 400 in West Seneca, killing his passenger.
He previously pleaded guilty to a criminally negligent homicide charge for the crash.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were factors in the crash. But Ayer's excessive speed and recklessness killed Olsen, prosecutor Bethany A. Solek said.
Olsen died instantly after the motorcycle hit a pickup truck. Both vehicles were northbound on Route 400, between Transit and Union roads, when the crash occurred at about 10 p.m. Ayer sought to pass the pickup truck on the right, and then the truck changed lanes.
"This is not a tragic accident but a serious criminal offense that demands justice," Solek said before State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia.
Olsen's family described her as a fun-loving and spirited young woman, someone who made anyone who knew her feel like her best friend.
She graduated from nursing school at the University at Buffalo, and she had been working in the cardiac intensive care unit at Millard Fillmore Hospital. She was raised in Trumansburg, a village about 12 miles from Ithaca.
Hundreds of people attended her memorial in the ballroom of an Ithaca hotel.
She came here several years ago after teaching in Russia.
Olsen and Ayer had been friends for only a couple of months before the fatal crash.
Ayer's sentence will be tacked onto the time he owes for a parole violation. Ayer was convicted of attempted burglary in 2004, a crime he said he committed when he was "young and foolish."
Ayer said he sought the minimum sentence so that he could resume financially supporting his children. Since his earlier conviction, Ayer has worked full time and attended night classes.
"I'm not a monster," he said, calling himself a God-fearing man. "Chelsea was my friend, and I feel awful."

"Because of Shoe and Other Dog Stories" by Ann M. Martin; Henry Holt, $15.99.
There's something for everyone in this illustrated anthology of nine dog stories from popular authors and compiled by the author of Newbery Honor book "A Corner of the Universe" and "10 Rules for Living With My Sister."
Max the Dax, a dachshund, saves the day in the hilarious, suspenseful "Dognapper" by Wendy Orr. In Pam Munoz Ryan's heartwarming title story, which ends in a very surprising way, an 11-year-old girl named Lily tells a very long-winded story about her dog, Shoe, to a judge in court. Mark Teague wrote and illustrated "Science Fair," a hilarious story about a nerdy eighth-grader whose bombshell science project, creating a dog-mouse, backfires in an interesting way. A 12-year-old girl learns a lesson about responsibility when her brother breaks his wrist and her parents leave her home alone with the dog in Ann Martin's amusing story "Picasso."
Matt de la Pena, author of gritty Young Adult novels "Mexican White Boy" and "We Were Here," offers a heartwarming tale of a Mexican-American gardener's son's tough introduction to a private junior high school, and the pivotal role played by his homely, smelly dog, Peanut.

Cats are the acrobats of all household pets. If a cat falls from a short distance, it will almost always land on its feet. Because it lacks a collarbone, a cat can easily rotate and bend its body more than other animals. The backbones of cats are also more flexible than other animals. This allows them to turn and land on their feet.

Linda Shelbourne points out the ginger lilies in her garden. They have the sweetest scent, she says, pulling the slender stalk forward to enjoy the fragrance.
Gardening is her passion and it shows in the property surrounding her home. The gardens – there are gardens within the larger garden – are filled with interesting plantings huddled in small corners, bordering walkways or soaring next to vine-covered arches.
Shelbourne was born in Pennsylvania and married to Peter in the United Kingdom in 1961. Linwood Bed & Breakfast became their home in 1979. It's at Linwood where Shelbourne's gardens and her special talent for dispensing hospitality come together.
"What makes Linwood what it is, is the hospitality," she says. "The root word is "host" and while we are hosting these people we want them to be enriched, inspired and to enjoy themselves."
Today Linwood is one of the Top 10 Bed and Breakfasts in the world by www.bedandbreakfasts.com.
The house used to shelter their three sons: Brandt, Matthew and Courtney. They grew older, got married, had children of their own but never strayed far from home.
Before that she studied at La Chatelainie in Neuchatel, Switzerland, Le Sorbonne and University of Paris in France, the Triangle School of Business in London, and became a master gardener through Clemson University.
"She is welcoming and has a real gift of hospitality," said Pam, Linda's daughter-in-law. "She brings a lot of tourists into Summerville. She brings people from Charleston and is a big draw on the Sweet Tea Tour."
Shelbourne has a strong faith, praying for guests and with them. There are devotions each morning at the house. She said it is a good way to relate to guests she is meeting for the first time.
"Christians are always looking for Jesus in another person. No matter your ethnic background, social rank or whatever, we're all brothers and sisters of one father."
Another important part of the experience at Linwood is communication between guests. Shelbourne said they like to create rooms with lots of seating facing a center point to allow for lots of communication.
"People want relationships and we work on an environment where they can do that," she said. "Hearing our guests interacting at the breakfast table or out in the gardens, that's one of our favorite things and that's why people go."
The gardens are world-renowned and were the products of students from the University of Georgia and University South Carolina along with the Shelbournes and their friends. They extend from the front driveway at the old horse stable around the cottages to the "secret garden."
In the expected fashion from a mother, she claims she doesn't have a favorite. She said they are all soothing.
"That root word 'host' is in hospital, hospice, and so on. It's about people getting better. Here we are creating a place for people to get better."
Her son Brandt talked about her large numbers of repeat visitors. One couple in particular from Glasgow, Scotland visits for weeks at a time every year. They have a specific room request each trip, the Barn, one of the quaint, back cottages.
Both speak to Linda and Peter like old friends, because they are. That is how it feels when you meet Linda, she welcomes you to into their home and you experience why people don't just come to see the gardens but to see Linda too.
"We're addicted to our guests, we have hearts for hospitality," she said. "Hospitality in the deepest and broadest sense of the word, that's what it's about and what we're all about."

"Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind," Moore, 25, tells PEOPLE. "It still feels not entirely real. Things are wonderful, and there's such a peaceful settledness about it. But sometimes I can't wrap my head around it. It seems bizarre but really cool at the same time, like, 'Wow – I did that!' "
Moore married singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, 34, on March 10 in Savannah, Ga., in a top-secret, low-key ceremony that she calls "quirky and random."
"I'm enjoying life, but I was enjoying it before [marriage] too," Moore says. "It's not like, 'Oh, my life is complete now.' I just have this extra incredible bonus of my best friend in the whole world, getting to spend every day with him."
Making The AlbumMoore has another reason to celebrate: the May 26 release of her eighth album, Amanda Leigh. Recorded with vintage instruments and inspired by artists including the Paul McCartney and Fleetwood Mac, the album's '70s vibe took shape in less-than-glam conditions.
"We were in a drafty house near Boston in the dead of winter, eating bagels three meals a day," says Moore's producer and co-writer Mike Viola. "When people meet her, they go, 'Aww, she's super nice.' And she is. But she's tough as nails."
Moore, who's walked her share of red carpets, says she wouldn't have wanted it any other way: "I didn't have to wear make-up. I would stay in my PJs all day and just make music. It was awesome."
Her Early YearsMoore has worked steadily in music and film (starring in hits like 2007's License to Wed and the HBO series Entourage) ever since her debut album, So Real, put her on the map in 1999. Her early songs, she admits, still make her cringe.
"Anyone would be embarrassed of what they did at 15 or 16," she says. "I listen back to that first record and I'm like, 'Compared to what my contemporaries were doing, it was crappy.' You listen to an early Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera song, and they are great pop songs. I just don't feel like on that first record I got anywhere near anything great. But it was a fun place to start."
Growing up in the spotlight, Moore managed to stay grounded and avoid the pitfalls of fame. She credits a support system that included family, friends and her longtime professional team.
"I feel like it's a choice you make," she says of the fame game. "I was happy to kind of always scoot under the radar. That stuff never dazzled me."
Life with RyanThese days Moore is content to make music (she's learning to play the bass guitar), walk her beloved Terrier mix Joni, nest at home in L.A. with Adams, and enjoy life's simple pleasures. "Jetlag haze+ garden walk+ chocolate shake+ love= perfection," she recently Tweeted.
"The unknown used to be really scary, just that fear of what's next? What if I'm not prepared?" she says. "I just don't feel that way anymore. I feel like the best is yet to come."
To check out her blog and hear samples from Amanda Leigh, check out Moore's Web site.

It would be easier to make a list of players who didn't hit big shots Friday.
Calvert got numerous big shots from Kate Bricker and Taylor Ritzer, while Ashley Perry came off the bench to hit a big 3-pointer in the fourth quarter and Lindsay Bickley also hit a go-ahead jumper.
For Mohawk, Julie Adelsperger hit just about everything. Kasey Adelsperger, Clara Adelsperger and Taylor McClain hit big baskets late to give their team leads.

Calvert's Nicole Bickley (middle) fights for the ball against Mohawk's Kasey Adelsperger (left) and Ally Weinandy during Friday's game in Tiffin.
But on a night where so many people hit so many clutch shots, the two biggest plays turned out to be rebounds.
With Calvert clinging to a 51-50 lead in the final minute, and a potential go-ahead shot for Mohawk off the mark, Margaret Bowers fought her way through Mohawk's post to pull down the rebound for the Senecas.
Shortly after, following a missed foul shot, Nicole Bickley crashed the offensive glass for another big rebound, putting it back in for two.
Mohawk couldn't convert two last-second 3-point attempts and Calvert grabbed an emotional 53-50 victory.
"It feels great," Bickley said. "We all worked together and really worked at the end to get that win."
"We needed this," Kate Brickner added. "This really gives us some momentum into the later part of our season. We got a lot of makeup games and some good teams we're going to play. Still keeps our chances of an MAL (title) open. I'm proud of my team. I'm proud of how everyone stepped up in the second half."
It was the first time Calvert took the court since an overtime loss last Thursday to Carey. After that loss, Calvert coach Tim Ritzler said one or two plays made the difference. Friday, his team made those plays.
"That was the thing about last week, we talked to the girls; in a close game it's one or two plays here or there that you got to make, and tonight we made those plays," he said. "We got the big defensive rebound with Margaret getting fouled and then Nicole getting the offensive rebound putback. That's the one or two plays, one or two bounces you need to win a close game like this against a good team."
The lead changed hands 14 times on the night, seven times in the fourth quarter.
Mohawk held a 3-point lead entering the final frame, but that was erased quickly on Perry's 3-pointer from the corner. Julie Adelsperger knocked down a 3-pointer of her own - her sixth trifecta of the night - to put her team back in front, but the teams traded baskets down the stretch until Brickner hit two foul shots with 47.2 seconds left that put Calvert in front for good.
From there it was just a matter of making a defensive stop, and pulling down the key rebounds.
"We wanted one stop, then were going to have to foul us. And we got that one stop," coach Ritzler said. "We didn't convert the free throw, but again, Nicole came up with a big play there at the end."
"I knew a smaller girl was on me, so I knew I had that rebound," Bickley said. "And I put it right back up. I was really confident in myself."
Mohawk coach Mike Beck said Bickley's late rebound was key, and also pointed to a play earlier in the quarter, where another Bickley offensive rebound led to two more points.
"Actually in the fourth quarter there were two offensive rebounds we let (Bickley) have for them," he said. "One was on the free throw. It would make a huge difference with Julie coming down with the ball in her hand only down one, compared to, we have to go for 3. Makes it a little tougher when we have to go for 3. And I thought earlier she got an offensive rebound to get two easy points that hurt us. When you're in a three-point game, every one of those rebounds are very important."
Foul trouble played a role for both teams. At one point in the second quarter, Mohawk had four starters saddled with two fouls. With three of them on the bench, Calvert built an eight-point lead, led mostly by Bricker, who scored 16 of her 20 points in the first half.
Mohawk whittled the lead down to four at halftime, and put together a third quarter run of its own to jump ahead by six, 37-31.
Julie Adelsperger led the way for Mohawk with 25 points to go along with eight rebounds.
"An incredible night, no doubt about it," Beck said. "Her play over the last four or five games has just continued to rise and to blossom. She's really taken a lot on her shoulders because she's on the top of our defense and just plays the heck out of that. She gets involved with as many traps as she can, and deflects a lot of passes. She puts so much energy into all areas of the game, and to have 25 points, she had to be dead tired. To me that's an incredible performance."
Calvert sat with only two third quarter points with roughly a minute left in the period, when Ritzler hit two clutch shots including a late 3-pointer to cut the lead to three to start the fourth.
"I got my third foul and they're like 'Don't foul anymore,'" she said. "So then I started standing around the perimeter looking for open shots. Kate drove, kicked it out and hit me on the 3."
After her monster first half, Brickner was slowed in the second. She said she expected the defense to be tougher, but she also expected her teammates to step up.
"I was hungry. I wanted to come out; I wanted to make my mark," she said of her strong first half. "I knew I probably would get guarded a little better in the second half. I was counting on my teammates step up and they did and I was proud."
Nobody stepped up more than Ritzler who finished with 16 points. Nicole Bickley added 10 points and nine rebounds. Coach Ritzler said Brickner's first half went a long way into opening things up for other players.
"Kate hitting some shots early really opened up some things for us. She was doing a good job coming off screens and we were doing a good job getting her the ball," he said. "Second half they really started locking down on her, they were running two people at her at times. But, it opened some things up for other people and that's what we've talked about all year. When we make shots we're a good team. We needed other people to step up tonight and Taylor had a big game for us."
He also praised the play of his bench on a night where just about everyone had to step up.
"I thought our bench did a great job," he said. "Sam (Beckley) coming off the bench made some big plays for us early. Ashley hit a big 3 for us. We feel like we got a deep bench, and if we have to go deep into our bench and the other team has to go deep into theirs, that's an advantage for us."
And that advantage helped Calvert improve to 11-4 on the season, 4-2 Midland Athletic League. Mohawk's record evens up at 8-8, 4-4.

The Comb Wash Case: The Rule of Law Comes to the Public Rangelands
Joseph M. Feller
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Public Land & Resources Law Review, Vol. 17, p. 25, 1996
On December 20, 1993, District Chief ALJ John R. Rampton, Jr., an administrative law judge (ALJ) in the Department of the Interior, issued a decision (the Comb Wash decision) holding that, in managing the Comb Wash Allotment, the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) violated-the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. He further prohibited the BLM from authorizing grazing on a portion of the allotment until BLM compliance. Although the decision is hardly newsworthy, there was large outcry by those who fear more grazing restrictions on public land use. Despite the expressed fears of the livestock industry, the decision will not 'shut down' public lands grazing, and may help to bring grazing within the normal legal framework that governs other uses of the public lands. The article summarizes the Comb Wash case; places the decision in perspective by discussing the systemic, West-wide BLM practices that were reflected in the particular actions found unlawful on the Comb Wash Allotment; discusses the application of the principle of "multiple use;" and briefly speculates on the minimal effect of the decision on BLM range management outside of the Comb Wash Allotment.

Last week in this space, I remarked, once again, on the recent rise of the Charleston area's aerospace and information technology industries and what it augurs for the future of the Lowcountry.
For more information
Some thought I overstated the point, arguing Charleston is a far cry from an aerospace and tech hub like the Puget Sound, home to Boeing's manufacturing center and Microsoft's and Amazon's headquarters. Fair enough. Charleston's still small and Old South. No one would dispute this town's way behind Austin, never mind Seattle. But it's the trends that intrigue, that matter.
So consider the latest evidence: a pair of new conferences coming to Charleston this week that wouldn't have made sense five years ago but seem completely natural now.
The first, starting tomorrow at Charleston Place, is the SpeedNews Aerospace Manufacturing Conference, the sixth in the aviation publication's line of industry get-togethers.
Featuring Gov. Nikki Haley and the boss of the North Charleston Boeing plant among executives from aerospace suppliers, the discussion will concern everything from logistics and automation to composites and other cutting-edge materials.
Wednesday is reserved for tours of what some are calling the Boeing Corridor, the string of aerospace factories along Palmetto Commerce Parkway in North Charleston. Some of the corporate visitors will surely be weighing whether it makes sense to establish a permanent presence here.
And then on Friday evening, the DIG SOUTH Interactive Festival takes the torch, playing host to hundreds of out-of-towners and locals who want to talk technology, arts and where they intersect.
Saturday and Sunday are the meat of the fest, when national tech execs and creative types will mix with their Charleston counterparts for panel discussions at the College of Charleston's TD Arena.
And as DIG SOUTH is modeled on the South By Southwest conference held in Austin every spring, there will also be concerts and social gatherings around town.
Veteran College of Charleston promoter Stanfield Gray is aiming very high for the first year of his wide-ranging festival, but he's managed to both bring most of the major players in Charleston (and many from "off") on board as sponsors and sell more than 2,300 tickets as of Friday.
Only time will tell whether a horde of aerospace suppliers eventually set up shop near Boeing or whether thousands show up this to celebrate Charleston as a so-called Silicon Harbor. But there's a movement afoot here, and it's onward and upward.

Leir, a legendary ancient king of the Britons in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, is often linked to the Welsh and Irish sea-gods Llyr and Ler (Celtic Leros = "Sea"). Geoffrey says Leir's father lived at the same time as the Biblical prophet Elijah, and that Leir founded Leicester (Cair Leir in Old Welsh). Leir's kingship of Britain was the longest at sixty years. He had three daughters: Goneril, Regan - and Cordelia whom he favoured most. Nearing death, he planned to divide the kingdom among his daughters and their husbands. Goneril and Regan flattered him and married the Dukes of Albany and Cornwall. Cordelia refused to flatter him, so was given no land, but the king of the Franks still married her. When the dukes seized the whole kingdom, Lear fled to Gaul. Nearing insanity, he was nursed back to health by Cordelia. Leir, Cordelia, and the Franks invaded Britain and Leir reclaimed the throne for three more years. Cordelia succeeded, and buried him in the River Soar near Leicester.
Looking at the ancient roots of western societies, Shakespeare uses Lear like Theseus, as a focus for discussion of basic family relationships, adding a second family, Gloucester's, to enrich the exploration. Moreover, by introducing the later Anglo-Saxon names of Edgar, Edmund, and Oswald, Shakespeare adds a further layer of chronology, implying that the successful later King Edgar transcends Lear's excessive concern with formal justice. (See the essay after the Lear single-play bibliography.)

More than 1,500 patients have received transplants from the Hematology and Blood & Marrow Transplant Program at UK HealthCare since the program was founded in 1982. Part of the UK Markey Cancer Center, our program features a 15-bed inpatient unit where all rooms are private and positive-pressure HEPA-filtered.
The Hematology and Blood & Marrow Transplant team treats all blood-related diseases, including aplastic anemia and other conditions that stem from a bone marrow failure, as well as some solid neoplastic diseases. Our experts perform both autologous transplants, which use stem cells from the patient, and allogeneic procedures, which use stem cells from a donor.
Treatment of blood disorders such as
anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, aplastic anemia, myelodysplasia,
sickle cell disease, polycythemia, thrombocytosis, myeloproliferative disorders; treatment of coagulation disorders such as hemophilia, Von Willebrand's disease, thrombosis; treatment of hematologic malignancies such as acute
leukemia, chronic leukemia,
lymphoma, multiple
blood and marrow transplants.
Because every facet of UK HealthCare is dedicated to remaining on the leading edge of modern medicine, a variety of clinical research programs are under way within the Hematology and Blood & Marrow Transplant Program at UK Markey Cancer Center.
Clinical trials
Genetic counseling
Our attending physicians are trained in medical hematology and oncology, and each brings specific expertise in transplants and blood-related cancers. Because UK HealthCare takes a cooperative, highly integrated approach to medicine, patients in the Hematology and Blood & Marrow Transplant Program also have access to experts in every medical and surgical subspecialty.
Our nurses, who have an average of 12 years of experience in blood and marrow transplants, are certified in chemotherapy, biotherapy and oncology nursing. The Hematology and Blood & Marrow Transplant team also includes a dietitian and a social worker for both inpatient and outpatient consultation. Care coordinators and disease-team leaders coordinate inpatient and outpatient care.

Intel has said on multiple occasions that its 45nm process
is on track for
production 2007. In fact, Intel began sampling its Penryn
45nm chips just several weeks ago. At the IEDM, IBM and AMD described three
technologies that hope to compete with Intel's 45nm development: the use of
immersion lithography, which AMD says will "deliver enhanced microprocessor
design definition and manufacturing consistency," ultra-low-K interconnect
dielectrics to enhance performance-per-watt ratio and multiple enhanced
transistor strain techniques.
Current process technologies use conventional lithography,
which has significant limitations in defining microprocessor designs beyond the
65nm process
technology generation. Immersion lithography uses a projection lens filled with
purified water as part of the step-and-repeat lithography -- think of the same
principles applied to immersion microscopy.
Immersion lithography provides increased flow of light, depth of focus and improved image
fidelity that can improve chip-level performance and manufacturing efficiency. For
example, the performance of an SRAM cell shows improvements of approximately 15
percent due to this enhanced process capability, without resorting to more
costly double-exposure techniques.
In addition, AMD and IBM say that the use of porous,
ultra-low-K dielectrics reduces interconnect capacitance, wiring delay, as well
as lowering power dissipation. This advance is enabled through the development
of an ultra-low-K process integration that reduces the dielectric constant of
the interconnect dielectric while maintaining the mechanical strength. The
addition of ultra-low-K interconnect provides a 15 percent reduction in
wiring-related delay as compared to conventional low-K dielectrics.
In spite of the increased packing density of the 45nm
generation transistors, IBM and AMD demonstrated multiple enhanced transistor
strain techniques that give an 80 per cent increase in p-channel transistor
drive current and a 24 per cent increase in n-channel transistor drive current
compared to unstrained transistors. The companies claim that their achievement
results in the highest CMOS performance reported to date in a 45nm process
In November 2005, AMD and IBM announced an extension of
their joint development efforts until 2011 covering 32nm and 22nm process
technology generations. AMD and IBM expect the first 45nm products using
immersion lithography and ultra-low-K interconnect dielectrics to be available
in mid-2008.
quote: AMD opened its new chip making foundry, Fab 36, in Dresden, Germany yesterday with much fanfare. The new facility is intended to be a centerpiece of the company's growth and expansion. The foundry produces 300mm wafers using 90nm technology, but will support fabrication processes as thin as 32nm. Initial plans were for Fab 36 to produce 65nm wafers upon opening, but those plans had since changed ....
quote: When an AMD VP stands up and says they will "close the process gap" with Intel at 65nm, its hard to forget
quote: Well, you can always claim Intel was misquoted...that's a hard thing to prove or disprove now though. However, I've seen several quotes from Intel execs claiming delivery in late 2007
quote: AMD and IBM said the terms of their agreement would allow them to use the jointly-developed process technologies to manufacture products in their own chip fabrication facilities and in conjunction with selected manufacturing partners. The companies expect first products based on the new 65nm technologies to appear in 2005 ...

Be Thankful for Live Music!
November 16, 2012 - Jim Price
Before and after you gorge on turkey and pumpkin pie over the Thanksgiving holiday, make live music a part of your holiday celebration. The weekend features a busy slate of live music events, and Wednesday – Thanksgiving Eve – is also busy with musical activity.
Among the anticipated highlights during this weekend and coming week, former Altoona rockers Banditos will reunite on a local stage Saturday night. The roster of singer Wally Archer, bassist/singer Bill Nusom, guitarist/keyboardist Jim Ricotta, guitarist Phil Wagner and drummer Kevin Siegel will reunite at Shaw's Bar in Juniata.
Another highlight will be the return of former Like A Movie singer/guitarist Jimmy Mowery, who comes back to perform in his hometown for the first time in a year this Tuesday night. Now based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Mowery will celebrate the release of his first solo EP with a CD-release party event at The Island.
Among the Thanksgiving Eve slate of performances is one swan song. After a successful 10-year run on area stages, Bad Daze will close the book on their career with a final performance at Davey's Lounge in Hastings on Wednesday night. The band members are separating to join other projects; bassist Paul Rainey is joining Huntingdon County country performers Chris Woodward & ShinDiggin,' and drummer Jim Bagrosky and singer Tim Howsare are joining guitarist Matt Day in a new mach edition of former area modern rockers Stept On.
And Felix & the Hurricanes' Thanksgiving night tradition returns on Thursday night with the annual Turkey Night Jam, this year taking place at Shaw's Bar in Juniata. The Hurricanes will seek to cure the audience's turkey-induced slumber tendencies with their generous dosage of blues and classic rock, and guest musicians will likely provide part of the entertainment.

Today, Hannah Tucker is to preside at a wedding at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Tiffin. She began her duties as pastor there July 1. St. Paul is her first full-time pastoral assignment.
"It's going well. I like it," she said, "but I still mess up the light switches."
Tucker grew up in New Concord, a three-hour drive from Tiffin. Her parents still reside in the small farming community that is home to Muskingum University. Her older sister and husband live in Dover.
Article Photos
After Tucker completed her undergraduate degree at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, she was
accepted at Wesley Seminary in Washington, D.C. Living near the campus, she didn't have to drive in D.C. traffic.
"It's a great place to be a student because all the tourist things are free. To go to a museum is free. ... I went to every Smithsonian. That was one of my goals," Tucker said.
Upon learning of her church assignment, she had to consult a map to find Tiffin. Now that she is back in Ohio, her friends and relatives can visit more often than they did in Washington. Tucker has an older map of Tiffin spread out on the table in her office. She was able to locate her neighborhood, but the newer subdivisions and streets are not on the map.
"The one-way streets are a little confusing, and the river confused me at first. You keep crossing the river, but you end up in different places. There's more than one bridge. That messed me up when I first got here," Tucker said. "I'd never been here at all. I came once in May ... that was my first time ever."
Tucker said she still is getting to know the congregation. An average of 80 people come to Sunday worship. The traditional service is at 10 a.m. with Sunday school following at 11:15. Children from preschool through grade 6 attend Youth Club 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The children have dinner, gym time, crafts and Bible class. The new pastor has learned about St. Paul's historic chandelier and has become acquainted with the volunteers who oversee the Ecumenical Sharing Kitchen.
"They know what they're doing," Tucker said. "They've done a lot to reach out to the community and be engaged."
The new pastor also has been exploring what Seneca County has to offer. She has joined the YMCA, obtained a library card, attended a performance of "The Diary of Ann Frank" at The Ritz and tried several Tiffin restaurants.
"I haven't had a bad one yet. When my friends and family come, they like to taste the local fare," Tucker said. "Tiffin's actually a big city compared to New Concord. You have restaurants. We have Subway. That's it."
In her free time, Tucker likes to correspond with friends from school, run and read novels. For now, ministering at St. Paul's seems to be a good fit.
"It's just something I've wanted to do since I was 13. I really love the church and I love people," she said.

The Korean Herald - Olympic figure skating champion Kim Yu-na said Saturday she will decide on her future plans before the summer.
The Korean Herald - Olympic figure skating champion Kim Yu-na said Saturday she will decide on her future plans before the summer.
Summer begins in four days! Better hurry up and decide, Yu-Na.
Before summer? Isn't it supposed to be "Before summer ends"? This is already summer lol. Declaring her future plan in summer has been her consistent comment in every interview/press conference. So, no news here.
I reread the report and verified that she didn't say which summer.
How many 22 year old have achieved both a degree and an Olympic gold medal?
It must be tempting for her, seeing as how the technical level of the sport has declined. She can probably skate worse than she did in Vancouver and still win in Sochi.
As much as I would love to see it happen, if I were in Yuna's place I wouldn't go for Sochi. At most I'd go for another World title and then officially retire. A World title she can easily take with enough training and preparation, but the Olympics is a wholly different beast.
ETA: I should warn others not to expect much from this "news"...other translations include the word "may" in her statement that she "may announce her decision before summer."
Last edited by Krislite; 06-17-2012 at 03:21 PM.
This gives her time to work on a 3a-3t, ya know cuz it would just look cool and well, I wanna see a woman land it in competition, esp. her if she ever comes back, which will prolly be never, but you can still hope...
If Yu Na still has her triple-triple, I hope she comes back. The Russian little girls don't stand a chance against a mature Yu Na if Yu Na still has her jumps.
Julia's jumps are rather small and not that impressive to me plus in two years she might grow another 3-4 inches then all bets are off.

I just know yzerman or lidstrom wouldn't pull this
They might be doing this if they were both free agents and wanted to get the best deal to play together on the same team.
I really don't like everyone attacking these players character because we're in day 3 of the UFA period and they haven't signed yet. These talented players, who are interested in joining our team and possibly wearing the winged wheel for the next decade, need some time to think about what is the biggest decision of their professional career. It shouldn't be taken lightly and they need to take everything into account. If they choose us, great. If not, oh well, good luck to them wherever they go. Being pissed at a couple of players that COULD still be Red Wings because they need a little extra time to decide where they want to play is ignorant. We're Red Wings fans, let's act like the franchise and show some class and patience.

The twisted story of Frank J. Morrocco, an ex-convict from Amherst who suffers from leukemia, took another turn Wednesday afternoon when a federal judge sent him back to jail, at least until Feb. 13.
U.S. District Judge John T. Curtin ordered Morrocco, 56, to be sent to a jail facility because, according to federal prosecutors, Morrocco has violated the terms of his probationary release by getting arrested twice on shoplifting charges.
The judge directed Morrocco to return to court Feb. 13, either for a hearing or to plead guilty on a charge of violating the rules of his probation.
Morrocco was convicted of drug trafficking in 1994. He served 20 years in federal prison and was released and put on probation in late 2011.
His first shoplifting arrest was at an Amherst grocery store last Nov. 16. Afterward, Morrocco said he intentionally got himself arrested because he wanted to go back to prison and get better health care. A judge refused to send him to prison after friends and family members agreed to pay for health care insurance for Morrocco.
But Morrocco was arrested again on shoplifting charges after an incident at a Transit Road department store Dec. 24. His attorney, Jeremy D. Schwartz, said Morrocco is innocent of that charge. He told Curtin that an individual who knows Morrocco was caught with stolen property, but he said Morrocco stole nothing.
Schwartz implored the judge to allow Morrocco to remain free so he can make appointments for his leukemia treatment.
After noting in court that Amherst police had to chase and subdue Morrocco in the Dec. 24 case, Curtin ordered Morrocco to be jailed until further proceedings in his case.
Morrocco, who is barred from spending time with convicted felons or engaging in any illegal activities, has also committed other infractions that violated the terms of his probation, Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Bruce said.

I made a deal with Gray on Saturday that he was going to wear whatever I picked out for church in the morning. (Ok, so it wasn't really a deal, it was a punishment, because he broke my BRAND NEW(ish) jump rope after I had told him he could not play with it.)
He had to wear whatever shirt I chose (even if it had a small tag) and whatever pants I chose (they would NOT be the Aunt Lisa pants) and sandals (NOT shoes with socks like he insists, even in the hottest of weather.)
Come Sunday morning he played it off like I forgot. Hey Mom, I can't find my Aunt Lisa pants... and then he saw what I'd laid out for him to wear (a shirt and shorts that I'd bought a few months ago from Mini Boden (not cheap) and he still hadn't ever worn). His face contorted and yet he remained strong. He might have mumbled Aunt Lisa pants a few times under his breath but he wore that outfit- with a SMILE, actually.
He looked so cute. I haven't seen him in clothes that look "right "in so long. Seriously, when I've written about the Aunt Lisa pants before, it was NO exaggeration. Ask all my friends.
I got myself ready for church and started getting everyone in the car. There, standing in the door is Gray, still in his new outfit, mind you, but-
with a few added accessories.
[Cape, Spiderman glove, and backpack, I'll take you over the Aunt Lisa pants ANY DAY.]
Yes, he wore it the whole church service.
Later that night as we were fixing dinner, Jeff was trying to get something out of the
scary utensil drawer and the vegetable peeler put the measuring spoon in a headlock and the vegetable peeler lost, breaking off a blade.
Me: "Whoa, this is dangerous. I could totally shank you with this." I held it up and gave a little cut throat hand motion.
Jeff: "Hey, kids, your Mom's prison days are coming back to haunt us."
Kids: "Mommy was in PRISON?!"
Me: "NOooo. No no no. No. Daddy just made an awful joke. I was never in prison. Great, that's all I need, Jeff, for them to tell people I was in prison!"
Jeff: (in a girl voice) "I think we need more bird paintings on the cell walls."
Me: "Hahaha I probably would say that, actually."
Then I shanked him. Only not. But kinda, in my mind.

6 New Kinds of Anxiety the Internet Gave Us
For 99 percent of human history, there was no such thing as talking to a person who wasn't in front of you. No phones, no instant communication from farther than shouting distance. If that doesn't absolutely blow your mind, you haven't thought it through -- the first man to ever wake up and realize that he had drunk dialed an ex-girlfriend the night before must have felt like he had been cursed with a destructive new form of black magic.
Likewise, we're about 20 years into widespread Internet use now, and it's easy to forget how many of the day-to-day anxieties we deal with are brand new to the species. For instance ...
#6. Accidental-Sharing Panic
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
You know what allows humans to live together in a society? Walls. The fact that we get to choose when other people can or can't hear what we're saying. But in the world of email, one pixel separates the button for, "send your buddy Steve this crude joke about the boss's body being made entirely of compressed farts" ...
... from the button that means, "send this crude joke to the entire company, including the aforementioned boss, and instantly destroy your entire life forever":
Microsoft Outlook is actually full of little landmines like this -- when you type in recipient names, it does that autocomplete thing, so if hypothetically you worked for a publication that starts with a "C," then any time you send an email to anyone whose name also starts with a "C," it immediately tries to autocomplete the recipient to the "Cracked - All" mailing list. Every time. As you know, five of our six most popular contributors are named Chad, so every time I want to reply to one of them with a candid message like "Jack O'Brien? More like Jerome O'Fartmonster!" the email software will try to trick me into sending it to the "Everyone Who Works Here" list.
You might say, "Well, that's what you get for saying mean things about your superiors over email, jackass!" but I, like most people, do most of my interaction with other human beings over some kind of computerized text -- email, instant messenger, text messaging, whatever (in fact, I telecommute to work, so almost all of my interaction with co-workers is done this way). So it's natural to eventually treat email the way you'd treat everyday conversation, including the venting, rumor sharing, and joking that all humans engage in as a necessary part of maintaining our sanity. It's just that now, we're one miniscule twitch of the finger away from broadcasting our ugliest thoughts to the world.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!"
What Was It Like Before the Internet?
Prior to 1995 or so, I can't imagine a circumstance in which an employee for a company could state some unpopular opinion or off-color joke to his co-worker and instead accidentally say it to all 5,000 employees of the company nationwide. Shit, it wasn't that long ago in human history when you couldn't speak to that large of an audience period (when Jesus spoke to the masses, the people in the back were only there because they heard there was free fish), let alone do it accidentally.
So the only way anybody living more than 20 years ago could have even known what accidental sharing panic felt like is if there was some bizarrely specific circumstance involving a public address system whose microphone was positioned really close to the water cooler, and somehow the mic got left in the on position.

"So I just shit directly in it. Man, am I glad that he'll never know."
And in the Future ...
Oh, look what every porn video site has now:
Via Tube8.com (NSFW)
Little "share" buttons that, with one touch, will tell your mother, grandmother, friends, family, co-workers, and everyone else you vaguely know what porn video you're watching. And if you think it's easy to accidentally hit something like that with your mouse, wait until we've all transitioned to tablets and are tapping these controls with our fat fingers. Not that it will take that much effort -- the future is a world where everything you read and watch is automatically shared on social networking unless you specifically tell it not to. In the future, preventing your personal secrets and preferences from being spilled into the world will be as futile as record labels trying to stop file sharing.
#5. The Irresistible Impulse to Follow a Link Chain
Burke/Triolo Productions/Brand X
Or, as we have previously referred to it, Wikipedia freefall.
It works like this: Somebody at the bar insists that Keanu Reeves is actually 58 years old. You call bullshit, so you bring up his Wikipedia page, but while checking his age, you happen to read down and find out that Reeves' infant daughter and girlfriend both tragically died just a year apart while he was shooting the Matrix sequels. Fascinated, you wind up reading the whole entry and then clicking on the link to the Wiki page for the movie Constantine. Then you keep reading it because while there, you learn that series creator Alan Moore claims that the titular character twice approached him in real life, having somehow escaped the comics.
Having long forgotten what you originally came for, you now have to click on Alan Moore to see what other crazy things he has said/done and wind up reading about how he and his wife openly shared a female lover until his wife and the lover both left him, and also, he worships the Roman snake god Glycon. So of course you click on Glycon's Wiki page and see that it's an obscure 2,000-year-old religion still practiced in some parts of the world, but that the serpent deity "was supposedly a hand puppet" invented by a satirist. Then you click on the history of serpent worship and read that the blue-snake-curled-around-a-rod symbol you see on ambulances is a reference to a Greek god and that is the reason ancient hospitals used to have live snakes all over the floor ...
Then you blink, look up, and realize that 12 hours have passed.
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
Don't do it, Grandpa! You don't have that much time left to begin with!
What Was It Like Before the Internet?
How was this possible before somebody invented hyperlinking? I'm imagining that scene from The Fellowship of the Ring where Gandalf is trying to track down the origins of the One Ring and winds up in that library, grabbing ancient crumbling scrolls off the shelf, frantically reading one after another by candlelight ...
Wait, is this what those people who hung around in libraries were doing when I was a kid? Did they spot a reference in a book to some periodical, then sit down with the microfilm to look it up, then just get lost down the rabbit hole for the rest of the day, scrolling through old news articles? Then why were they always exposing themselves to me?
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
"Spoiler alert! You're about to find out what the human body turns into."
And in the Future ...
I don't want to sound all paranoid about Google Glass -- I look forward to the day when I can play browser games in my eyeglasses while my boring doctor drones on about why I have eye cancer. But holy shit is it going to be hard to have conversations once I know I can bring up Wikipedia with a twitch of my eyeball.
Somebody on the bus mentions quinoa and you think, "What's that?" and instantly make the Wiki page float in front of your face. Before you know it, four hours have passed, you're reading about the history of aircraft carriers and the bus is on the other side of the state. I'm picturing a world where people are just constantly nodding off like heroin addicts, going into trances and staring off into space, because two hours ago somebody referenced an actor or TV show they weren't familiar with, then they looked it up, and ... off they went.
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
"Holy shit, you're supposed to be driving!"
#4. "Are They Talking About Me?" Social Media Anxiety
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
The entire reason I wrote under a pseudonym when I started out (a name I thought up on the spot while registering on a movie forum in 1998 that now stars in its own movie) was because I didn't want co-workers reading an off-hand joke I made about the stinky guy at the office without a dozen of them saying, "Wait, is he talking about ME? Am I the stinky guy? WHY, THE NEXT TIME HE YAWNS, I SHALL FART INTO HIS MOUTH!"
But now that everyone is writing for the public on at least one social network, this sort of "Is this post actually about ME?" anxiety is something everybody will feel at one time or another. For instance, people tend to post cryptic Facebook updates, like "I just love it when people act like they're my friend while they're talking shit behind my back :-("
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
"Sitting there in their computer chair with their hand on their mouse."
You read it and think, well, that's not about me, I'm not talking shit! But then you think, "Yeah, but maybe she thinks I am! That's what 'behind my back' means, after all!" But since this is Facebook and not a private conversation, now you have comments from all 450 of her friends expressing sympathy, trying to guess who the traitor is, everyone piling on. And here's the thing: Even if you know their cryptic post is talking about you, since they didn't name you by name, you can't jump in and defend yourself -- it could turn out you're wrong, and then, perversely, you look like an egomaniac for assuming everything is about you.
What Was It Like Before the Internet?
The grapevine has always existed -- I'm sure that 30 years ago you'd find that your personal conflict with a supervisor had become juicy gossip in the mailroom. But it was just a dozen bored people looking for drama to get through the monotony. But now that everyone has an audience, the whole dispute happens for the audience's benefit. That's the difference.

"You gonna put up with that shit? Call her a fat bitch! That'll show her!"
Your classmate Trevor wasn't confused about what would happen when he posted on Tumblr that "It's heartbreaking to find out one of your friends is cheating on one of your other friends, but you can't say anything." He knew that was juicy shit, and that it would get everyone talking. And you know how everyone acts crazier on reality shows when they know the camera is on them? That's what happens when personal drama becomes entertainment for a crowd, and the people involved in the drama know it ("Damn, she just went Omarosa on his ass!").
Before the Internet era, the only people I can imagine feeling this "Is that my dirty laundry that just went public there?" anxiety on a regular basis were, of course, old-school rappers. Every time a new diss track would come out, they'd have to think, "Am I the sucker MC he's talking about who thinks his rhymes are phat but who deserves an ass full of gat?" or, "Wait, does he see me as one of the haters from the block who didn't believe in him when he was growing up, but who's all on his jock now that he's blowing up?"
That's why it had to be refreshing when Tupac was so direct in "Hit 'Em Up,"* when he started the trend of naming his enemies openly (NSFW):
Unless there's two dudes out there named "Biggie" and/or "Mobb Deep," this is very clear feedback presented in a very direct way. I would have enjoyed having Tupac as a supervisor. But I digress.
*Side note: Can any lawyers out there let me know why it's legal to make explicit death threats as long as they're in rap-song form? At one point he actually says something to the effect of "This is not just a song, I am literally saying I am going to shoot Biggie Smalls to death."
And in the Future ...
I believe the day is coming when people will have front-facing cameras that can start live-streaming whatever they're doing, at any time, through either some advanced version of the aforementioned Google Glass or some future camera they can implant right into their goddamn eyeball.

"I'm hacking this fucker to shoot lasers. And then you're all going to pay."
Which means that in the future, you'll have an innocuous conversation with a co-worker only to find out later that he streamed the whole thing to his 8,000 followers under the title "LOL THIS DICKHEAD IS PRETENDING TO BE NICE TO ME AGAIN! LISTEN TO HIS BULLSHIT HA." There'll be a live chat window where everyone can post in real time about how awful you are, sharing humorous anecdotes about the time you tried to be nice to them, too.
And you'll always be the last to know.
