HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man charged in two shootings more than 150 miles apart in the commonwealth four years ago has been sentenced to seven to 14 years in one of the cases.
Joseph Olecki, 37, of Logan Township pleaded guilty Friday in Blair County to aggravated assault as well as weapons counts and risking a catastrophe, The (Altoona) Mirror (http://bit.ly/10SAfAn ) reported.
Authorities said he riddled his ex-girlfriend's home with 21 bullets in March 2009. The victim, who now serves as his power of attorney, told the court that she still loved him and that she had seen a positive change in his behavior after his medication had been stabilized.
Olecki said in court that he was suffering from mental illness at the time of the shootings and urged people in similar circumstances to seek help.
He thanked the judges and prosecutors involved in his case for sending him to the state hospital in Norristown, where he received mental health treatment. He said he had been seeing a psychiatrist before the shooting but hadn't been getting the right medication.
"The medication definitely works if you get the medication you need," he said.
President Judge Jolene Kopriva told the defendant that he was fortunate that no one in Blair County had been hurt. "There would be different consequences" if that had happened, she said.
Officials also allege that he wounded a Scranton couple on their back porch in the neighborhood where he grew up. He faces charges in Lackawanna County in that case, and defense attorney Joel Peppetti said he was aware that he could face more prison time in that case.

AbstractLanguage is the most important evolutionary invention of the last few million years. How human language evolved from animal communication is a challenging question for evolutionary biology. In this paper we use mathematical models to analyze the major transitions in language evolution. We begin by discussing the evolution of coordinated associations between signals and objects in a population. We then analyze word-formation and its relationship to Shannon's noisy coding theorem. Finally, we model the population dynamics of words and the adaptive emergence of syntax.

So far in the season, he has 32 catches, 406 yards and 1 TD through 7 games.

In the twenty-first century, we must learn to look at cities not as skylines but as brandscapes and at buildings not as objects but as advertisements and destinations. In the experience economy, experience itself has become the product: we're no longer consuming objects but sensations, even lifestyles. In the new environment of brandscapes, buildings are not about where we work and live but who we imagine ourselves to be. In Brandscapes, Anna Klingmann looks critically at the controversial practice of branding by examining its benefits, and considering the damage it may do.
Event-Cities 4 is the latest in the Event-Cities series from Bernard Tschumi, documenting recent built and theoretical projects in the context of his evolving views on architecture, urbanism, and design. Event-Cities C4 follows directly from the work of Event-Cities 3, which examined the interaction of architectural content, concept, and context. This volume takes the interaction a step further, looking at a series of projects for which program or context are insufficient as a generative conceptual strategy, hence requiring a different approach.
We experience spaces not only by seeing but also by listening. We can navigate a room in the dark, and "hear" the emptiness of a house without furniture. Our experience of music in a concert hall depends on whether we sit in the front row or under the balcony. The unique acoustics of religious spaces acquire symbolic meaning. Social relationships are strongly influenced by the way that space changes sound. In Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?, Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter examine auditory spatial awareness: experiencing space by attentive listening.
Architect Léon Krier's doodles, drawings, and ideograms make arguments in images, without the circumlocutions of prose. Drawn with wit and grace, these clever sketches do not try to please or flatter the architectural establishment. Rather, they make an impassioned argument against what Krier sees as the unquestioned doctrines and unacknowledged absurdities of contemporary architecture.
What is a camp? In August 2005, television news showed viewers an estimated 20,000 Katrina evacuees camped out in the Superdome, Cindy Sheehan protesting the Iraq War on President Bush's doorstep in "Camp Casey," Texas, and Israeli and Palestinian young people at the Seeds of Peace Camp in Maine discussing the evacuation of settlement camps in the Gaza Strip.
The story of the Adam Joseph Lewis Center at Oberlin College--the first substantially green building to be built on a college campus--encompasses more than the particulars of one building. In Design on the Edge, David Orr writes about the planning and design of Oberlin's environmental studies building as part of a larger story about the art and science of ecological design and the ability of institutions of higher learning themselves to learn.The Lewis Center, which has attracted worldwide attention as a model of ecological design, operates according to environmental principles.
This edition of Perspecta, the oldest and most distinguished student-edited architectural journal in America, investigates the transformation of capital cities in the era of globalization. This redevelopment, renewal, and recycling of the urban landscape--termed by the editors as "Re_Urbanism"--takes place as capital cities try both to cater to an influx of global capital and to reassert their roles as symbols of national sovereignty. Re_Urbanism investigates this process from an architectural perspective.
Los Angeles--the place without a sense of place, famous for sprawl and overdevelopment and defined by its car-clogged freeways--might seem inhospitable to ideas about connecting with nature and community. But in Reinventing Los Angeles, educator and activist Robert Gottlieb describes how imaginative and innovative social movements have coalesced around the issues of water development, cars and freeways, and land use, to create a more livable and sustainable city.
As urban planning moves from a centralized, top-down approach to a decentralized, bottom-up perspective, our conception of urban systems is changing. In Cities and Complexity, Michael Batty offers a comprehensive view of urban dynamics in the context of complexity theory, presenting models that demonstrate how complexity theory can embrace a myriad of processes and elements that combine into organic wholes.
In this thoughtful collection of essays on the relationship of architecture and the arts, Giuliana Bruno addresses the crucial role that architecture plays in the production of art and the making of public intimacy. As art melts into spatial construction and architecture mobilizes artistic vision, Bruno argues, a new moving space—a screen of vital cultural memory—has come to shape our visual culture. Taking on the central topic of museum culture, Bruno leads the reader on a series of architectural promenades from modernity to our times.

Any of the information I used to try and contact them at this point and points in the recent past to this didn't work...Numbers disconnected etc. They FINALLY contacted me to pay the bill cause they said it was 90 days past due in actuallity I had not received a bill from them in over 6 months and had made several attempts to contact them. I attained information about where to send the check etc but forgot to get my account number.
I THANKFULLY had called ID and was able to call them back. Literally 5 minutes after they called me. The person I spoke with transferred me because they "Couldn't find me in the system", the next person couldn't find me either and then trasferred me to yet another person. I was so frustrated and couldn't get simple information from a company that wanted my money which I to some degree rightfully owed them (less late fees and over limit fees acquired during the time they sent no bills and couldn't be contacted).
NO ONE there could help me I, according to them "Should just wait until I got another call from them which would be in about 7 - 10 days once they realized the payment had not been made". Which I did because I had incomplete information and god knows if they couldn't "Find Me" when I called what were they going to do with my check??? LONG story LONGER they never did resume sending any bills. Along about the same time I started working with a lender to obtain a loan for a swimming pool and OF COURSE this charge account shows up on my credit report and states something to the effect "closed at request of consumer" and a few 90 days past due...Hmmm Imagine that why would I have thought any differently nothing was EVER as it seemed with this scam corp. I did use the amount it stated on my credit report (right or wrong) to pay off the account...We'll see what happens now in this LONG DRAWN OUT SAGA.....Yikes!!!

Professor Carrie Harwood and colleagues have engineered a bacterium that can take carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into fuel in a single enzymatic step. The process draws on sunlight to produce methane and hydrogen inside the bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris, in essence reversing combustion. These engineered bacteria could guide scientists toward better carbon-neutral biofuels. Read more about the research here.

Boro took a first-half lead through Simon Heslop's 20-yard strike but found themselves behind just after the break.
Francois Zoko made it 2-2, only for John Mousinho to give the Gills all three points 14 minutes from time.
"I think we were fortunate to be ahead at half-time. I thought we were lacklustre," said Westley. "The players looked tired and fatigued and there are no excuses for it."
He added: "After nights like these you're tempted to ring the changes for the next game. You've got to take the season in stages.
"We had five points after 10 games, I think, and we've bounced back from that. On the whole, we're on a better run of form but it's difficult when you know about the depth of our squad. I think that's been an issue for us.
"Over those 90 minutes, they didn't deserve to win and I don't think we deserved to. In these circumstances, one side gets lucky and so you can't have any complaints."

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Winona Police Chief Alonzo Bradwell says 35-year-old Jason McClurg of Winona was arrested without incident Sunday evening at a camper trailer near his hometown.
McClurg ran away from the Shannon County jail in Eminence Friday night when he and other inmates were taken outside to watch a fireworks show.
KYTV reports that Shannon County Sheriff Steven Blunkall says the deputy who took the inmates outside the jail to watch the fireworks was fired for violating jail policy.
McClurg is charged with first-degree murder in the May death of his wife, 32-year-old Stephanie McClurg. Prosecutors allege he put prescription drugs in Kool-Aid he gave to her.

The community of the South Coast is as colourful and diverse as the landscape and is friendly and laid back – some say too laid back. They know how to enjoy life and visitors are made to feel welcome and they slip easily into the relaxed, carefree, outdoor lifestyle that the South Coast is famous for.
During the winter months, the South Coast is visited by thousands of bottlenose dolphins, which have migrated up the coast from the Cape. This migration occurs at the same time as the annual sardine run and is a major attraction to the area. With its enviable climate and warm surf temperatures, forests, rolling hills and all-year round sunshine, this makes the South Coast one of the prime holiday destinations in Southern Africa.
Access to the South Coast is easy and safe with the N2 freeway, which runs north to south, along the entire 120kms of the coastline.
SouthCoast.co.za caters to different catergories, just to name a few, accomodation, entertainment/resturants, general business, health and beauty, home improvement, motoring, shopping centers, travel, and property.

Any changes in FIFA rules could not be retroactive, otherwise they'd conflict with legal agreements already in place, and sanctioned by the FA and by default FIFA. Most likely once the loan term is over (or before if mutually agreed) the player would be up for sale. I asume Man U would have the first buying rights, but he may also be available on the open market depending on how the current deal is structured. At that point Kia is out of the picture, other than being a regular agent. Same would be true for both Mascherano at Liverpool as well as Tevez at Man U.

Skip to comments.Muhammad Alis "Beautiful Soul"
Posted on 12/01/2005 8:18:33 AM PST by forty_years
In an article two days ago, "Muhammad Ali v. George W. Bush," I castigated President Bush bestowing a prestigious award on former boxer Muhammad Ali and for lavishly praising Ali's beautiful soul, his compassion, and his being a man of peace. I offered some evidence to the contrary and concluded by calling this incident "the nadir of his presidency."
The column prompted a fair amount of comment, positive and negative. I'd like to note here two noteworthy responses. One is from Judea Pearl, father of the late Daniel Pearl, murdered by Islamists in Pakistan in 2002:
When Danny was in captivity, we pleaded with Louis Farrakhan and Muhammad Ali to use their influence in the Muslim world and issue an appeal for his release. Farrakhan said: "Not ready." Ali did not hesitate a minute and issued a plea that only Satan could resist; it was published next day in Pakistan. Ali further called me by phone and insisted on being invited to the party, once Danny is released. Jesse Jackson then made a statement, without our even soliciting him. At that point, Farrakhan came back and said: I am ready. But by then, it was too late. I appreciate Ali's coming forward and, when I spoke at Danny's memorial (which Ali and his wife attended), I called him "a champion of humanity." Later on, though, when we asked him to join the Honorary Board of the Daniel Pearl Foundation, he declined on the grounds that he must focus his energy on his own foundation.
To which my response is this: I am delighted to hear that Muhammad Ali did these good deeds. But by 2002 he was far along with Parkinson's disease, so his decisions were largely made by his handlers in his name. These do not provide real insight into his character.
That character, rather, was shown earlier, when Ali had full control of his facilities. To understand that better, I turn to Jack Cashill, author of the forthcoming book, Sucker Punch: The Hard Left Hook That Dazed Ali and Killed King's Dream. Cashill sent me a copy of the book manuscript and it, to say the least, confirms my thesis about Ali's poor behavior. Here is an excerpt, reviewing Ali's negative accomplishments during his first crucial years in the public eye, 1960-75:
With due understatement, Cashill comments that this summing up, "however unpleasant, sheds some useful light both on the young Ali and the generation that made him."
I repeat: this is not someone suitable to be honored by the president of the United States.
Ali was a rotten sportsman who make the ex-con Sonny Liston appear as a refined gentleman by comparsion.
The definition of "punch drunk" (on Islam).
Anyone who alines themselves with Muhammed has lost their soul.
Anyone who would do this to America just has to be an evil person.
Agreed. The Presidential Medal of Freedom has undergone very serious devaluation over the last decade.....
Can you post the book-cover picture for us from the link in the story pls. thx
The Peace Prize..... Yasir Arafat and Jimmy Carter recent winners. And did you know that Stanley 'Tookie' Williams has been nominated too????
Oh, come on : ) Big Don is a patriotic Bush lover!!!!
This book would be a good refresher on the real life and attitudes of Howard Cossell's best pal.
Turned out to be one of the greatest fights in boxing history, of course. .....and what a beautiful left hook it was that sent Ali to the canvas ;)
...that wasn't so hard.
IMHO, Don King is just too weird.
His politics are to his credit, but that don't make him any less weird.
Muhammed Ali started the trend of loud-mouthed sports stars that has since begat the likes of Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley, and Mike Tyson. Low-life pukes who have some modicum of talent in their vapid professions, but whose value as humans is limited to making their owners money.
Technically, Ali wasn't a draft dodger or draft resister. He showed up at the appointed time at Houston Main and refused induction. Right or wrong he didn't flee to Canada, Amsterdam or Sweden. He showed up, declined and took his medicine.
As an American citizen and a Vietnam veteran I do not agree with his stand and do not understand mainly because of the benefits he derived from being an American.
I knew a lot of people who could have avoided Vietnam and some of them didn't return.
Slick Willie avoided Vietnam and has never faced the music.
Yes, one and the same. He was nominated by a Swiss legislator - for all those children's books he has authored. I suppose anyone can be 'nominated'!
Now that he is a drooling old fool, we're supposed to get all misty about his "contributions" to mankind. But nothing he can do will ever make up for the destruction of humility for which he was personally responsible.
Now he's got plenty to be humble about. And the previous poster was right: this man deserves our universal disgust, not a presidential award.
You're not going to believe it but that was exactly the sound my old Ford made just before the transmission went.
I have a friend of the family who worshipped Ali, he had scrapbooks, rare pictures, etc. Ali signed most of the pages and pictures.
Say what you want about Ali, but he was kind to strangers and fans, I was supposed to go to meet him as a kid but I had to get up at 5 AM and didn't go.
Ali invited my friend to come to to Pennsylvania and stay on weekends whenever he wanted, he has tons of pictures of his visits. He allowed him to bring whoever he wanted too.
These scrapbooks are huge, I was alllowed to borrow them once. Ali was very kind to an ordinary Joe, Bundini Brown used to try and steal the scrapbooks though!
Jimmy Breslin mentioned my friend when Ali was first hospitalized, he came to visit Ali and said of him to the effect that he was the only person who didn't want anything from Ali except his friendship which he gladly offered.
Last I asked him, he couldn't get through to him any more because of all of the layers of people protecting him.
I should also add that my friend is white, I think the Nation of Islam polluted his thinking only to a point and I make no apologies for for Ali. Just knowing this side of him takes SOME of the edge off his negatives.
Ali was surrounded by vultures, I think he took in my friend to try and maintain some connection with reality.
"Suffice it to say that before Muhammed Ali, sports stars were role models for children -- at least on the surface. Ali's bragging self-promotion put an end to that. After him, the more vain, the better."
I disagree. I thought the same as you until I saw Ali once in the LAX airport spend 45 minutes dealing with the public. His limo was waiting outside the luggage return while Ali took the time to do every autograph requested. He must have held 10 kids up on his shoulder to have pictures taken. I've seen a lot of athletes do far worse. I was impressed with his quiet and humble approach to all who approached him.
Someone need to find the seventies Playboy interview with
him and read about what, he says, Allah will do to America
for its treatment of blacks.
Under the influence of Elijah Mohammad who preached that blacks should refuse to integrate with "white devils" Ali made a point of dating only black women and lashed out at men and women who engaged in interracial sex. In an interview with Playboy, he declared: "A black man should be killed if he's messing with a white woman." When the interviewer asked about black women crossing the colour barrier, Ali responded: "Then she dies. Kill her.
Didn't Don King do time in prison for murder?
Actually Tookie isn't on death row...he's on DEAD row.

Optimist's Shakespeare: Try it, you'll like it
Two weeks ago, director Tom Reed had fully intended to make another round of cuts to Shakespeare's "As You Like It" — slimming the run time to just over two hours — before Optimist Theatre opened its production in Riverwest's Kadish Park. Am I ever glad that he had second thoughts.
When Optimist's press preview performance ended Thursday night — two hours and 45 minutes after it began — my aching body was screaming for a seat cushion and the ground on which I was sitting was wet with dew. »Read Full Article

'Hundred-Foot Journey' is a tasty alternative to summer fare
The first hint that this is not the usual summer movie is its introduction by producers Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey, welcoming the audience to "The Hundred-Foot Journey" like the hosts of a dinner party.
The movie offers no colorful villains, no sharp turns or surprises, little drama, chuckles instead of laughs, and a somewhat pokey and predictable plot. »Read Full Article

I spent six weeks with the doctors, nurses, and aides at AMG with two open wounds on my abdomen. My daughter had researched other facilities and chose this one on my behalf. She couldn't have done better. Folks at AMG are respectful, kind, caring, competent, and nurturing, and cheerful. They were not condescending when explaining what my body (which I hardly recognized) was doing and how it was healing and most importantly they encouraged me to work on healing myself, thereby improving my self-esteem. Being as ill as I was was a scary thing: the staff at AMG walked me through it with dignity and grace. They get 5 stars from me.

Cary Grant and Grace Kelly Made Me Do it
Showing my age, here, but remember Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief, a 1955 romantic thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock. If you've never seen it, try placing a request with your library. Anyway, the story takes place in the French Riviera with glorious scenes of the landscape, which earned an Oscar for Best Cinematography.
So what did this movie do to me?
Writing Versus Working Out
I have a confession to make.
When I write, I do something odd. Actually it's something I'm trying to integrate regularly. Because I sit so much, as we writers do, I realized my regular workout routine wasn't gonna keep me in shape. So, I upped the ante and started setting a timer. When it goes off, I sprint up and down the stairs a few times and do 3-4 minutes of exercise of some kind.
At least that's the plan.
The truth is, I often get so immersed in writing, I turn the timer off after the first or second annoying little beep, and I forget to turn it on again. It's the neatest thing, though. The more time I spend writing, the easier it is, and the better writer I become.
Treating Writing As A Job
When I began my writing journey, not quite two and a half years ago, I dreamed of having an agent and a NY publisher. Which is exactly what I got. I also dreamed of having my first book published much sooner than this, but that was before I knew anything about the publishing business.
The questions I was asked this year at RWA Nationals boiled down to how did I do it? Quite simply, I treated writing like a job. The type one does when it matters. Having been in the Army, I knew something about that. A friend told me to write three books. Don't stop to make the first one perfect. I thought that was wonderful advice, and still do. Little did I know at the time that many writers write a lot more than three books before they get published, I had my nose glued to the grindstone. I no longer watched TV, and my husband took to making dates with me so he could have my undivided attention.
One "man's" impressions of RWA12
By DON MCGOWAN
It's 3:05 pm. Friday, July 27. I'm due to present at a workshop attended by tens if not hundreds of professional romance novel writers in 10 minutes. I desperately need to find a men's room.
And the one I've just found has flowers where ordinarily I would… water the flowers.
This could be a problem.
Maybe I should take a step back and tell you how this unlikely scenario came to pass.
It's March. My good friend Serena Robar, author of the Half-Blood Vampire novels and Giving up the V, asks me to go to have beverages with her to discuss a workshop she's giving at RWA. (I know the truth: I am a legendary drunk and she wants to hit my wine cellar, but I've accepted my shortcomings.) Over a bottle of Cabernet that in retrospect should have been better considering the favor she was about to do for me she tells me that she's working up a panel on how to convert your book into a Web series or movie or TV show, which makes sense considering she just closed a deal to do a series with Anne Heche, and could she bounce the legal stuff off me. This makes sense too: I'm an entertainment lawyer and also teach it at a law school, and so my ego makes me think I might know this stuff even if maybe I don't. After a few minutes I say, "You know, I could just go do your workshop with you."

State Patrol reports the most violations were for adults, but almost 700 were for kids.
Troopers say 178 people killed in crashes across the state last year were not buckled up.

She dubbed their rivals – who include Valentina Vezzali, the 38-year old five-time Olympic champion, as her the Barcelona of fencing.
And they certainly dominated a one-sided quarter-final, winning 42-14, but Bentley was happy to have secured their top-eight finish, courtesy of a battling first-round win over Egypt.
However, further defeats to Poland and Japan in classification matches meant eighth was as good as it got.
"It's a personal best to get to the top eight, it was our first goal coming here and we're really happy about that," said Bentley.
"We don't really match up with Italy, it's like trying to beat Barcelona. They are the best fencing nation in the world and world number one for a reason.
"There is not one weak link in their team, we got some good points against them and we can have no complaints.
"It's a big learning curve for us. Vezzali is an example to us all, she's just ridiculous and she doesn't make mistakes.
"They came out confident and arrogant and maybe we need to learn a bit from them about how we approach it.
"They are technically strong but I really don't think there is much technical difference between any of the teams here. It's about who performs on the day and who keeps it simple."
