November 23, 2014
LINCOLN, Neb. -- A 45-year-old Lincoln man is facing a misdemeanor charge for an April crash that killed a newspaper carrier.
Lancaster County Sheriff's Office says John Norbert has been cited for misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide in the crash that killed 27-year-old Jessica Lyons.
Deputies say on April 14, Norbert was driving with two other passengers delivering newspapers near the 4600 block of Saltillo Rd.
Reports show that Norbert hit a patch of ice and the Jeep began to skid and spin before coming to a stop in a ditch. Lyons was thrown from the vehicle and died from her injuries.
Sheriff Terry Wagner said the Norbert has been cited with misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide because he was driving too fast for weather conditions.
Wagner said Norbert runs a newspaper delivery route. He was scheduled to have back surgery near the time of the accident and was training Lyons.
The Journal Star released the following statement in April in regards to the accident:
"We were deeply saddened to hear about the accident this morning. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families at this difficult time."

Great sushi is not cheap, but it's not outrageous at this East Village standout either. The young David Bouhadana is a rising-star chef, studiously re-creating what he learned from masters in Japan and New York. Why does the amberjack and striped jack taste as soft and unfishy as anything in Japan? The Hokkaido uni so intense and creamy? It was just flown in, of course. The best night to go is Tuesday, when everything is freshly arrived (some of it comes from Maine, too). The clientele is mellow, and it's fairly easy to get a table or one of the 14 comfy leather chairs at the counter. Wednesday to Saturday is more hectic (it's closed Sunday and Monday). Hot dishes are professionally executed and cost a fraction of the sushi: red miso soup, seafood-and-vegetable tempura, lightly fried eggplant and deep-fried soft shell shrimp are all under $10. The sake and wine list are well above average, and beer lovers shouldn't miss the unfiltered, wheat-based Ginga Kogen.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New owner for lumber stores
McMunn & Yates to purchase McDiarmid
McMunn & Yates Building Supplies, the Dauphin-based independent lumber and hardware store that has provided a Manitoba-owned retail presence in small-town Manitoba since the early '70s, has agreed to acquire most of the assets of the struggling McDiarmid Lumber Ltd.
The agreement includes all of McDiarmid's store locations except the Nairn Avenue location in Winnipeg and stores in Yorkton, Sask., and Sioux Lookout, Ont.
McMunn & Yates has also agreed to buy McDiarmid's contracting and farm and commercial divisions as well as Superior Truss. Its ready-to-move home division is not part of the agreement.
The deal is said to valued at around $30 million.
McDiarmid has been struggling for the past couple of years. The business challenges prompted a messy family dispute between original owner Tom Matthews and his son-in-law Vince Ryz, who had been running the business for the past five years.
The dispute ended up in court with family members suing each other. Ryz stepped down earlier this year and Matthews injected some additional capital and installed restructuring specialist Richard Hutchings to run the business and negotiate a deal.
Hutchings said his prime marching order was the preservation of as many jobs as possible.
"I think we've done a fair job salvaging most of the jobs," Hutchings said. "We had lots of offers. McMunn & Yates was not necessarily the top price but it represented the best opportunity for our employees. It will get those locations back on track."
McDiarmid has about 400 employees.
Jason Yates, the CEO of McMunn & Yates, was unavailable for comment Tuesday afternoon. The deal is scheduled to close in early June.
McMunn & Yates, which used to be called McMunn & Yates Do-It Centres, started with one store in Dauphin. Through acquisitions and new store construction it now has 16 locations, mostly in small-town Manitoba -- from Thompson and Flin Flon in the north to Roblin and Russell in western Manitoba to Steinbach in the south. It also has stores in Yorkton and Kamsack, Sask., and a store in Charleswood it acquired in 1988.
While McMunn & Yates has been growing steadily, McDiarmid had been heading in the other direction. McDiarmid closed stores in Brandon, Portage la Prairie and Prince Albert, Sask., last year as well as a distribution centre in Elie and a ready-to-move homes distribution operation in North Battleford, Sask. Its Western Window and Door division was shut down in March.
It has scheduled an auction of surplus trucks and other equipment from its discontinued operations for early June.
Hutchings said McDiarmid will continue to operate the ready-to-move homes division that has sites in Headingley and Yorkton, Sask., and is in negotiation with individual interested parties for the stores in Yorkton, Sioux Lookout and Nairn Avenue. Matthews owns the Nairn location, which will continue as a clearance centre.
A statement of claim was filed in Manitoba court last fall by Matthews against Ryz. In dispute was who actually controlled the company -- Ryz, who orchestrated a disputed share issue last fall, or Matthews. Ryz hung on to his posts for a couple of months after being publicly lambasted by his father-in-law in a sworn affidavit. He stepped down earlier this year.
Hutchings said the contracting, farm and commercial and truss divisions have all produced double-digit growth since new management was put in place. However, McDiarmid's retail operations continued to decline this year. Hutchings said poor spring weather was at least partially to blame.
"But I think that's ready to pick up," Hutchings said.

Michigan head coach Brady Hoke on Nov. 19, 2011. / Carlos Osorio / AP
Michigan is No. 1 no more according to Rivals.com -- for now.
Rivals.com updated its team recruiting rankings for 2013, putting USC just ahead of Michigan, which previously held the top spot all season.
The Trojans were boosted by the commitment of four-star defensive back Jalen Ramsey out of Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy. He joins a recruiting class that Rivals.com analyst Mike Farrell calls "one of the highest ranked classes in the history of Rivals.com."
Scout.com still has Michigan at No. 1 in its latest rankings, which were updated at 3 p.m. today, with 4,286 points. USC is No. 2 with 3,631.
247Sports.com has Michigan at No. 3 (755.27 points) behind No. 1 USC (762.75) and No. 2 Alabama (757.24).
USC has 15 total commitments, three of which are rated five stars by Rivals.com (the rest are four-star). Michigan has 22, but none of which are rated five stars (14 four-star, 6 three-star).
LSU, Georgia and Texas A&M currently round out the top five in Rivals.com's rankings. Ohio State is No. 10 and Michigan State is No. 40.
One thing to keep in mind: USC still has NCAA sanctions in place, making their number of scholarship offers limited with signing day more than six months away.
It's almost time for Freep Sports Happy Hour, our weekly discussion of Detroit sports at 4 p.m. Monday at freep.com/sports. What do you want to talk about?.

I am in false imprisonment, have not left my home since I was verbally assaulted by a GOVERNMENT private detective
following me, along with the whole judicial(PROBATE) system,to monitor whenever I was not home in order to STEAL
and REWRITE bank statements,brokerage statements,tax returns,trusts,multiple wills,mineral leases(DEEDS to North
Dakota and Kansas and Texas mineral rights).Last,but not least,my father's letters to forge his signature.All with the help
of W.Randall Ackerman,5 judges, 12+attorneys,Ann Ackerman(who spends a million a month) when she decided to steal my inheritance of multimillions and funnel it to Frost Bank, Enron, Murex Petroleum,all other ancillary,the judges,their
childrens trust funds.The bank continues to pay to have neighbors(live for free) to babysit and they even had a unit here.
They want ALL my documents.The last three cars I have bought remotely locked and unlocked.The most recent, the hatch will not lock.They even spent money on my last car to aftermarket a door in the trunk to reach the console and front seats.
Then they pulled the mental illness card and Judge Mike Miller was going to force meds after I was held 43 days.Complicit
with the GOVERNMENT DOC, Randall Ackerman paid with MY money.He is fervently trying to sell multimillion dollar
property QUICK before IRS finds he was paying tax on 250,000 value. When I was released because of many reasons, I was doubting my own sanity. I took an MMPI and passed with flying colors.I spent 6K(insane)with A1 Locksmiths in
January.The locksmiths and safeinstallers have the master code and key copies.I am coerced to leave 3 times a week.
I have to bar my doors because A-1 actually made it easier to get in.One key opens every door.If they do not make it safe
for me to leave (and Frost Bank does not let me have all my money(their slush funds).I will have to continue reports.
Joe East really did not want to participate,so I do not blame him for putting push button code locks.Also,between Frost
Bank,my brother,Ted Biggers,my stepmother my 750 credit rate is now 530,because of MAIL THEFT,and my
Nursing License is limited.I am still working on my tax returns, but with millions gone, NO COST BASIS,and Susan
Mcdermott taking 5 months to put a fraudulent online bank site(that does not exist now),and rewriting trusts to divert all
to Randall Ackerman's childrens trusts,the only delusion I ever had is that JUSTICE exists.

Wiz Khalifa's Summer Tour Is Going To Be Like The Real World But More Ridiculous, With Weed
I think I'm high right now.
1. These days, Wiz Khalifa is maybe rap's biggest rock star. In a couple of weeks, he'll head out on his third-annual Under The Influence of Music Tour.
2. He's bringing along a stacked roster of friends, like Jeezy, Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan, Mack Wilds, Sage the Gemini, IamSu, and DJ Drama.
Presumably, together, they will hotbox at least seven tour busses each night.
3. To prepare, the crew got together under one roof. The results are like an upscale California version of The Real World, soaked in bong water.
4. These guys apparently actually get along, and some of them can act, too. Watch Mack Wilds say good morning to some friends:
5. And Sage the Gemini goof off during poolside yoga:
6. Rich Homie Quan opens up during a confessional:
7. Touring is hard, sometimes not-fun work! But even in a jokey commercial, Wiz seems like a guy who genuinely loves his job, and wants to pass that joy on to his squad.

text: A (Desert) Rock By Any Other Name none July 2008 By Laura Paskus Glancing at the northwestern corner of New Mexico in snapshots, it's easy to become ensnared in a fantasy of what the Southwest might once have been—a Navajo hogan set against the horizon or framed by a red-faced sandstone cliff, with long stretches of desert broken by two-track roads more akin to horse trails than highways. But throw in two coal-fired power plants, more than a century of poverty, uranium mines and mills, long stretches of oil and gas fields, and a river that runs less fiercely each year and only then does a realistic picture of the region begin to emerge. Now, the Desert Rock Energy Company, a subsidiary of Sithe Global Power, and the Navajo Nation's Diné Power Authority hope to build a 1,500 megawatt coal-fired power plant on a Navajo reservation about 30 miles southwest of Shiprock. At the end of October, Elouise Brown held back tears while overlooking the proposed power plant site; drillers were there, testing the water supplies. As president of the Navajo opposition group, Dooda Desert Rock, Brown regularly checks the area and had recently noticed new, larger pipes stacked near the wellhead. "I was checking to see what was going to happen," she says. "Within a couple of hours, some more people came in [from Layne-Western]. I was sitting on top of the hill with binoculars, but curiosity got the best of me, so I went down there." They would resume drilling again tomorrow, she was told, and they would drill for ten hours. So two days before Halloween, Brown watched the drillers from a nearby hill. She described the goings on to a friend on her cellphone: "I'm watching the water just sprinkle out into the open," she said. "It's going to be happening for ten hours and it's really sad." Resistance Camp against proposed coal plant—photo from Elouise Brown Members of the Navajo opposition have occupied a makeshift resistance camp at the edge of the proposed plant, some 580 acres near Burnham. They've invited lawmakers and state officials to visit the site. And almost daily, Brown roams the area with a camera, posting pictures to the group's website and emailing them to local reporters. While the tribal government supports Desert Rock as a much-needed economic development project for the tribe, Brown says Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley, Jr. and the tribal council don't speak for her or the growing numbers of Navajo who have come to stand with her in the fight against the power plant. "The more I think about it, I'm thinking these guys don't give a hoot about us, not just us in Burnham, but the Navajo Nation in general," she says. "If they did, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing." Of course, she says, the Navajo people would prefer local jobs, "as long as you're not killing us with pollution." At the end of July, Governor Bill Richardson (New Mexico) announced he was "concerned" about the plant. According to a press release from his office, Desert Rock as currently proposed would be a step in the wrong direction. Any new coal plants built in New Mexico, Richardson stated, should employ what's called integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology, and only plants that can capture at least 60 percent of carbon emissions will be eligible for state tax breaks. The company was disappointed in Richardson's remarks, coming, as they did, some four years into the project. Desert Rock Energy Company spokesperson Fred Maisano says the project is still on schedule. Desert Rock will not be an IGCC plant, he said, but a supercritical pulverized coal-type facility. Maisano doesn't like to hear Desert Rock compared to the area's two other coal-fired power plants—the Four Corners Power Plant and the San Juan Generating Station. "That's like comparing a '75 Gremlin with a 2007 Prius," he says. "It's way more advanced, way cleaner and way more efficient than a '75 Gremlin." And who is going to pay the plant's $3 billion price tag? "It will come from investors," says Maisano. "We're hopeful that up to 25 to 49 percent will come from the Navajo Nation, which has the ability to take an equity stake in the project." (Yes, that's right, the Navajo tribe—with a 44 percent unemployment rate and a median family income of $11,885—is expected to come up with between $750 million and $1.47 billion.) The plant is expected to release some ten million metric tons of carbon each year. How will the state of New Mexico reconcile that fact with Richardson's plans to cut New Mexico's carbon emissions by 10.5 million metric tons by 2012? According to a September Albuquerque Journal story by reporter Raam Wong, Desert Rock's carbon likely won't count toward the state's total emissions level "because the electricity is expected to be exported out of state." Meanwhile, environmentalists are mounting their own fight against the plant, citing issues of air quality (San Juan County's air quality is already comparable to urban areas), environmental justice (the area's poor, Navajo residents already live near refineries, mines, tens of thousands of gas wells, and two coal plants), and carbon emissions (which affect climate change). For his part, activist Steve Cone is worried not only about emissions, but also about dwindling water supplies in the San Juan River. Based on e-mail exchanges he has obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, he's also concerned that the company has pressured U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials to "compromise their analysis" related to effects that changes in the hydrology and water resources of the river might have on endangered fish and birds. "The raw arrogance and threatening posture of Sithe Global, LLC in these exchanges constitute a classic case Elouise Brown—photo from blackfire.buzznet.com of promoters of private profit projects reviling front-line, public employees charged with safeguarding the environment and upholding the public trust," writes Cone in an e-mail of his own. "The fact that such machinations have become commonplace cannot mitigate for the severe impacts of this intended assault by [Desert Rock Energy Facility] promoters on the natural environment and the practice of good government." Meanwhile, Elouise Brown will keep checking the site. Z Laura Paskus is a writer living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

INDIANAPOLIS – Defense attorneys for a Purdue University engineering student accused of killing another student on campus may call a psychiatrist who has testified in high-profile murder cases such as those of the Unabomber and a woman who drowned her five children in a bathtub.
Dr. Phillip Resnick's name appears on a defense witness list entered into court documents this week by attorneys for Cody Cousins. Cousins, 23, of Warsaw, has been charged with murder in the January killing of 21-year-old Andrew Boldt of West Bend, Wis.
It was not clear why Resnick, a professor at Case Western University in Cleveland, was listed as a possible defense witness at Cousins' trial. As of Friday afternoon, no competency hearing to determine whether Cousins is mentally fit to stand trial was listed on the Tippecanoe County court's online docket, and his attorneys had not filed documents stating he intends to offer an insanity defense. Cousins' attorney, Robert W. Gevers II of Fort Wayne, did not return an email seeking comment.

An inspection window may serve to determiine the integrity of the coating under insulation in certain cases.
Francis Goss of Weserwind Offshore Construction on
October 2, 2014:
I agree with Regina. A visual inspection, when accessible, is the best choice. Clients complain about down time and costs. So I ask them, how much down time will you have when a pipe under pressure explodes and destroys half of your system? How much will it cost to repair it all? How much is a worker's life worth? Removing loads of insulation and restoring it may be costly now. But it will be cheaper in the long run.
Regina Montgomery of Thordon Bearings Inc. on
September 29, 2014:
I've looked into this topic extensively and have read much about using embedded sensors, eddy current, or thermal wave imaging (to inspect thick coatings not easily accessed in the marine industry) and have found that no one method remotely comes close to what is achieved with a visual inspection. I would love to hear others weigh in on this question.
