Police: Man suffocated girlfriend after intentional crash

By The Associated Press

MANHEIM, Pa. --?A central Pennsylvania man suffocated his 17-year-old girlfriend by sitting on her head after he intentionally drove into a guardrail at about 100 miles per hour in the middle of the night, authorities said.

Police filed homicide and other charges Friday against Benjamin Daniel Klinger, 19, for the Dec. 4 death of Sammi Heller on an interstate near Manheim. Klinger is accused of crashing on purpose, then killing Heller by sitting on her until she asphyxiated.

"At first glance, this appeared to be simply another tragic vehicle accident," Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman told the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era. "However, the police worked hand-in-hand with our forensic experts and saw this was far more complicated, sinister and certainly criminal."

A man who answered the telephone at Klinger's Elizabethtown home Thursday said Klinger did not have a lawyer and declined to comment.

Heller, a senior at J.P. McCaskey High School, was described in her obituary as athletic and a lover of motorcycles and horses.

She allegedly told a friend that Klinger previously tried to scare her while driving and that he had threatened to kill them both in a crash. Another witness told detectives that Heller said that Klinger would push Heller into walls and once pushed her down a set of stairs, police alleged.

Heller may have been pregnant, and police fielded conflicting reports about whether Klinger was the father.

A truck driver who came upon the 2 a.m. crash heard Heller screaming and was told by 911 operators not to move the crash victims. When police arrived, Klinger was sitting on top of Heller's head and torso, according to the arrest affidavit.

"Klinger was observed by the officers to be what appeared as 'slipping in and out of consciousness' because he would close his eyes for several seconds, moan, and then reopen his eyes while continuing to be positioned on top of the victim's head and torso while the victim was face down," police wrote.

Based on medical records, investigators later concluded Klinger was feigning being unconscious.

Detectives recovered marijuana, cash, a digital scale, a pipe, pills and a black air pistol from the wreckage.

Klinger was also charged with aggravated assault, drug offenses and driving violations.

Separately, he faces a charge of simple assault for allegedly running over Heller's foot in May and two counts of disseminating explicit sexual materials to a minor for allegedly sending out photos and video of Heller.

Winning the arms race with spam
Spammers are tricky adversaries: If e-mail spam filters seek out words like ?enlargement? then spammers switch up their approach. ?Spam changes a lot ? it starts looking more like ham,? said Richard Colbaugh on December 5. Now Colbaugh and Kristin Glass, both of Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, have created a one-two punch that anticipates new tactics and makes antispam programs less predictable. Training filters, for example, to look for bits of ham mixed with spam, such as several nonspammy words, will help detect even cleverly disguised spam. And instead of using one superior filter all the time, spam fighters should mix up their weaponry. Keeping several filters on hand can keep spammers from deducing and evading antispam tactics.

When paid sick leave pays
Paid sick leave is an HR dilemma. The policy can keep an infection from spreading and limit medical costs, but it also lowers productivity, especially when employees intent on playing hooky abuse it. Computer simulations of how an epidemic might spread through Miami suggest that paid sick leave usually pays off. It typically curtails a disease?s spread and minimizes health costs without crippling work output, Achla Marathe of Virginia Tech reported December 5. But if a company offers more days than infections usually last and employees are both highly productive and dishonest about being sick, then paid sick leave does little good.

maggiewillis0: interment saran: charlesmurra8: Speed reading apps

23 Dec

I installed some speed reading apps and tested them. I?ve so far notices a few ?categories? or groups of equals:

• One kind exists mostly from showing a text word by word in the middle of the screen. Showing each word a very short time and so you can read at a high wpm because you never need to move your eyes.
• Another kind is merely a speed reading article disguised as app.
• Another kind is no speed reading app but just a reading app with a fancy name.
• Yet another kind is training in the form of news/actually.
• And the last kind is a training app, not for your own stuff but purely for training.

I only tested them quickly and unions talked the non-interesting. But they aren?t quite what I?m looking for. Maybe I should write one myself for training and guided reading.

Man pushed to death on NYC subway tracks

By Shimon Prokupecz and Gus Rosendale, NBCNewYork.com

A man was pushed from a subway platform in Queens Thursday and killed by an oncoming train, a law enforcement official told NBC 4 New York.

Witnesses told police that a woman, described as heavyset and in her 20s, shoved the man onto the 7-train tracks at 40th Street and Queens Blvd. before fleeing, the law enforcement official said. Police are searching for the woman.

Police say they believe they have video of the suspect that they're currently retrieving from a pizzeria near the train station. The video was expected to be released overnight.

The suspect, dressed in a gray, white and blue jacket, had been mumbling to herself and pacing the platform, according to police. Witnesses said that the victim and suspect did not exchange any words and that it appeared that the man did notice the suspect at all before being pushed from behind to his death.

"I heard it. One of my customers was on train and heard it going over body," said Jiovanni Briones, who works near the scene.

It is the second time this month that a person has been shoved onto subway train tracks and killed.

Naeem Davis, a 30-year-old deli worker, was recently arrested and charged with second-degree murder for allegedly pushing a man off a Midtown subway platform to his death.

Ki-Suk Han, 58, was stuck by a southbound Q train after being pushed off the platform at the 49th Street station Dec. 3.

Great Self Help Advice To Follow If You're Down In The Dumps ...

Are you trying to help yourself live a better life? To help you get started, check out the tips below.

Are you a steady drinker? Are you a smoker, or do you regularly engage in something that is bad for you? Mistreating your body will lead to illness, premature aging and an early death. Eliminating bad habits is essential if you want to improve your life. Look at some of the habits you have and evaluate if there is anything you can change for the better.

TIP! Apply the basic principles that you have learned. Your individual core beliefs are what support your sense of self.

Head to a movie with your best friend if anxiety is a problem in your life. This allows you to be in a social setting without the added pressure of talking to a lot of people. You can use the trip as an opportunity to become accustomed to the company of others.

Learning to react selflessly is a sign of progress in the path of personal development. Knowing what it means to care for and help others, by making the sacrifices within yourself, can greatly benefit your inner character. When you can make sacrifices that lift others up without jeopardizing your own well being, you will grow into the kind of person you wish to be seen as.

You can?t care for others if you?re not caring for yourself. Take time for rest and relaxation, whether your health is good or poor.

Strive to increase the time you spend working as much as possible in order to accomplish more. A good method to work for long periods of time is to take frequent breaks. It may seem counterintuitive, but you can actually increase your productivity by taking frequent breaks. That way, you will be refreshed when you return to work and motivated to produce at a much higher level.

Instead of talking about your accomplishments, ask some other people about some of the things they have accomplished and what they are most proud of. You can learn a lot about others from this, and have an opportunity to learn about things other people have done that warrant respect and admiration.

TIP! The goals you set out for your personal development program need to be measurable and specific. If there are specific goals present, it will be easier to figure out the path that you should take to meet them.

One important element of self improvement is attaining and maintaining good health. A healthy lifestyle includes working out and watching what kind of food you eat, and you must be able to acquire the characteristic of being able to remain motivated to do it. If your health is important, you can feel better and have better impact in your life.

To live life fully, you must be willing to take some risks. Taking risks has the potential for failure, so some people prefer to keep things the same and take no chances. They lead unfulfilled lives avoiding risk rather than trying new things. Risk taking is courageous, which is a necessary quality in finding happiness.

Always aspire to do your best at everything you do. Let your passions guide you. No one can be perfect at everything, but we all aspire to provide inspiration to others. Continue to boost your value within your field of work, and you will reap the rewards of greater self-confidence.

Tell other people positive things. Doing the opposite and taking the initiative to be kind to others helps you to be kind to yourself too.

A great listener can be just as valuable as a proficient speaker. This is particularly true if you want to improve yourself. Always be sure to listen, and understand what you?re saying to yourself. If you?re not able to hear yourself, you can?t possibly get a grasp on what is truly necessary for self improvement.

You only need to remember one key to live and lead a successful life. You need to make the choice to stay active in life, and not sit on the sidelines. Only observing and not living makes you dead to the world, and you must live!

TIP! Recognize that the person you are now is not the person you want to be. This is the best way to be able to set a course of direction to get there.

When putting effort into your self improvement, assign a high value to that which is the best. When you value the goals you hope to achieve, it becomes easier to make them materialize.

Personal development doesn?t have to be a struggle, as you can see from this article. Keep in mind the fantastic benefits you can gain from developing your life into something you love.

difference between relationship anxiety/falling out of love?

hi, i've experienced a lot of what you're going through and for different reasons. and once you start to look at it a lot (it took me some therapy as well), you begin to realize that it's maybe not your relationship.

my boyfriend is amazing. i mean, we have been together for 2 years also, and i am also 19. he is definitely not my first relationship, although he is my first serious one. about eight months ago, i began feeling really anxious, because one day, out of no where, the thought popped in my head of us breaking up and i would make myself imagine these really terrible things just to see how i would feel about them. eventually, it snowballed.

one of the reasons i began feeling that was is because i have commitment issues. i love this man more than anything in the world, but i come from a broken family. the only relationships i have ever seen have been on tv or in high school and not only did those relationships not last, they were riddled with drama. he comes from a family full of love and commitment is something that he understands. it took some explaining. i still have to remind myself that it is okay to be in love, that it is okay to commit, that it is okay to be with somebody.

second, i'm an anxious person. i grew up in my mothers house, where every small thing was the end of the world. that childhood, mixed with my fathers biology (a history of anxiety), put me at a very high risk for leading a high stress/anxiety life. i still battle it everyday.

third, i wasn't fulfilling myself in any way. i had a crappy job at the time and he was working seven days a week so we could save up to move out. not only did i not feel like i was contributing, but doing nothing will literally drive you crazy. i'm hyper attentive also (my therapist's words) and i can typically pay attention to multiple thoughts at one time which is why i need things to distract me. usually, if you think an anxious thought, if you distract yourself, then revisit it, you'll be calmer and able to think clearer.

fourth, we had lost some communication and relationship skills and had grown apart somewhat. this is a normal cycle in ALL relationships, i can tell you that. sometimes you feel like partners in crime and sometimes you get bored. we have rebuilt that and are since doing great.

fifth, we began to realize that anytime i felt like my life was going nowhere or when i became hopeless with things, i would doubt everything i was doing and question my relationship, even though there was nothing wrong with it in the first place. i just had a big thing happen to me at work today, actually, and yesterday with college, and i have been feeling so distant from him and like we have all these problems that in reality don't exist. i freak out when i feel like my life is falling apart.

sixth, every relationship goes through cycles. when you first started dating, there is the infatuation stage (and not every couple goes through this). it is literally you being high on the chemicals released in your brain. when that stage ends, you get down to the nitty gritty and get to know your partner on a deeper level. you can even look up the relationship stages, if it helps. one of the things that is completely natural is to doubt when you are evaluating whether or not you want to be with this person. sometimes, you'll regress back to different stages, sometimes you won't. every relationship is different.

last, remember that love is not actually an emotion. love is a choice, delegated by action. i do things for my boyfriend that i would never do for anybody else (at least not happily). i am encouraged to be patient and kind and to be an overall better person. if you find somebody who does that for you, that's who you want to be with. maybe one of the reasons i listed applies to you and i certainly hope it helps. it might be that you need to find help and it might be not.

good luck.
