Merasty's hat trick powers Bulldogs to 5-2 victory
Shaquille Merasty had three power-play goals and an assist to lead the undefeated Adrian College men's hockey team to a 5-2 Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association win over Concordia (Wis.).
Merasty, a freshman, has scored five goals in the last two games for the Bulldogs and has 12 on the season.
NCAA Division III No. 4-ranked Adrian (8-0, 7-0 MCHA) and the Falcons started very close to the vest with few scoring chances until Ryan Lowe took a pass from Andrew Dovey and buried the puck past Concordia goalie Jake Hebda. Less than two minutes later, Merasty scored the first of his goals when the Falcons played giveaway in trying the clear the puck, while Conner Pennell was serving a two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Adrian was 3-for-9 on the power play, and the Falcons were 1-for-5.
Adrian coach Ron Fogarty said the Bulldogs were tested by the young Concordia team. The Falcons had 18 freshmen and three juniors in the lineup.
"We were fortunate to be up 2-0," Fogarty said. "They played a real good game. They play a very tall game, sort of like Eau Claire (Wis.) and did a good job with our speed."
The second period was very chippy as both teams played tight defense and limited the scoring chances. The third period was penalty-filled, especially the last several minutes when each team had players ejected for fighting.
In the midst of the hard checks and continued tight defense, Josh Cousineau and Merasty scored for the Bulldogs. The Falcons (4-6, 4-3) countered with goals by Cody Kostecki and Eli Riddle (Blissfield). Riddle's power-play slap shot came with eight seconds left.
"They had a lot of freshmen looking to make an impression, but we kept our heads. They were looking to get their fifth win, which was the most in school history," Fogarty said. "We played well on the power play, and our penalty killing was excellent."
Shelby Gray and Zach Graham each had two assists for the Bulldogs.
Cousineau assisted on Merasty's second goal. Goaltender James Hamby had 26 saves for Adrian, but was not really tested until Concordia scored in the third period.
Adrian and Concordia have a 3 p.m. matinee today.
The Bulldogs are then idle until hosting non-league foe Wisconsin-Stevens Point Dec. 29 and 30. at Arrington Ice Arena.

Dwayne Johnson's 'Hercules' a bloody good time
Idiocy and excess is rarely this much fun – but Brett Ratner's Hercules is just the kind of macho madness that this comic book version of the myth requires when Dwayne Johnson is the chosen one.
Bulked to the max, grinning sheepishly like he has been hit in the head with a battle axe and ready to toss off his dialogue like beads of sweat dripping from his mega-muscles, The Rock is a comic book hero. And definitely not the Greco-Roman demi-god of myth and legend, who was known as Hercules by the Romans and Heracles by the Greeks.
In fact, that is precisely the point here. The filmmakers and the cast members know that this is a big, bold and bloody romp.
So we get two narrators – Ian McShane as the sardonic seer and Reece Ritchie as the glib-tongued storyteller – who both careen from one silly extreme to another, either overhyping the story of Hercules' triumphs and superhuman powers or making fun of the notion that he is the bastard son of Zeus and therefore divine in some way. Ratner plays this Hercules for tongue-in-cheek laughs.
The movie is set in ancient times, 2400 years ago, in among the city states of Greece but primarily in Thrace (which, in modern times, is mostly in Bulgaria). Hercules – the idiotic movie, not the classical myth – is based on two limited series of graphic novels published by Radical Comics. They are the work of British writer Steve Moore, who died in March without seeing his opus adapted to the screen. We do wonder what he would have thought.
Moore's version of the character is riding the fame of his 12 Labours by hiring himself out as the leader of a ragtag group of mercenaries. He has a knack for trusting the wrong kings as his employers and ends up in complex webs of violent betrayal and moral compromise after killing countless foes.
Because Johnson is such a terrible actor, none of the serious stuff is actually taken seriously. It is just plot filler for the holes between the uber-violent battle scenes, and also the flashbacks to his Labours. These are cool, whether he is facing the nine-head Lernaean Hydra or slaying the fearsome Nemean lion. Or did he? The movie makes it seem possible that these exploits are just exaggerated stories.
Johnson obviously knows what kind of movie he is in – meaning that this Hercules is a satirical version of those sword-and-sandal epics from the 1960s. But with better special effects in the digital age, especially in the IMAX 3D version (assuming the 3D technology does not break down for 20 minutes, as it did at the preview screening).
Most of the rest of the ensemble members get it, too, with McShane, Ritchie, Rufus Sewell, Aksel Hennie and Ingrid Bolso Berdal all goofing off as Hercules' comrades. Ditto for John Hurt and Joseph Fiennes as ego-driven kings, Peter Mullan as a cock-of-the-walk general and Tobias Santelmann as a centaurish warlord. Only Rebecca Ferguson, as the princess protecting her young son, plays this out as if we are supposed to be immersed in a Greek tragedy.
No matter, Ferguson gets to play Johnson as the fool, which serves the plot as screenwriters Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos lurch from calamity to comedy. Hercules, the movie and the character, is a guilty pleasure.

Tom Hanks braves bad reaction
In his latest role, Hollywood's favourite son Tom Hanks breaks new ground by playing a bad guy for the first time in his career in the Depression-era drama Road to Perdition.
Hanks is cast as a gun-toting hit man working for an Illinois mob boss in the 1930s.
The movie is eagerly awaited as it marks British director Sam Mendes's first film since his Oscar-winning American Beauty.
It is also in contention for Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion award.
Hanks has displayed some darkness in his previous roles as a gay man battling Aids in Philadelphia, and as a stand-up comic in Punchline.
So, he does not see his latest character as a radical departure.
Referring to the gunman he portrays he says: "There is no difference in a lot of ways between this guy and quite a few great number of people that I have played.
"It's just that the extent that he goes to in order to provide for his family is a very, very different one."
Two-time Oscar-winning Hanks maintains he never worries what movie-goers might think of roles like this, which might be at odds with his received image as America's beloved cinematic everyman.
"If I did that, there's 19 movies I never would have made," says Hanks.
"I never would have made Philadelphia because no one wants to see a homosexual man die of Aids in a movie.
"If you think about it in that way, you'll second guess yourself right out of any sort of artistic enterprise."
Mendes is quick to set the record straight and explain that Hanks isn't playing an out-and-out evil man.
He says the headline: "Tom Hanks plays a baddie. Shock! Horror!" is not quite the case.
"It is a dark character, but it is morally ambivalent, he is not just purely bad."
Hanks may be a mobster but he is also a man with a strong sense of loyalty and parental responsibility.
Father-son dynamics form the focus of this highly stylised mobster picture.
Hanks plays Michael Sullivan, the loyal enforcer for a mob boss and surrogate father-figure who is portrayed by 73-year-old screen veteran Paul Newman.
But the key relationship is between Hanks's character and one of his young sons whose eyes are opened to a disturbing reality when he first witnesses his father killing another man.
As Hanks sees it, the film is partly an examination of "the son's preconceived notions of who his father is, and the reality of who his father is".
For most of the film Sullivan is on the road with his young son trying to avoid a menacing hit man, played by Jude Law, who doubles as a crime photographer.
Sullivan is on the run trying to exact revenge for an act of violence against his family. But Road to Perdition is also a tale of redemption.
Hanks's character tries to do everything he can to make sure his son does not follow him into a life of violence.
Hanks credits Mendes for making this big-budget endeavour, reported to have cost $80m, different from the standard Hollywood picture.
Hanks notes that Mendes's touch is particularly noticeable with the gun play and pacing.
"The violence here happens by large very, very quickly," he says. "It's over very fast. It's a very personal brand of violence.
"The pauses, the silences in this movie are much more important than what anybody else says, and again, that's the sensibilities and the artistic aesthetic of Mendes storytelling."
The film bears some resemblance to American Beauty in that both films take an oblique look at the dark side of the American dream.
In the case of Road to Perdition, it is not suburbia but organised crime that is brought into focus.
It is a screen portrayal of the Prohibition-era gangster that is not rooted in naturalism, but in stylised film-noir.
Some critics have praised the film for its artful look but they have also noted that it is showy, too full of style and too self-conscious.
Few are complaining about Hanks, who once again has turned in a very effective and restrained performance, as a morally ambiguous gangster and family man.
But even with the star power of Hanks and Mendes' direction it seems unlikely that Road to Perdition will match American Beauty's track record at the box office and in winning awards.
The picture is probably too dark and studied to have broad popular appeal.
The awards, when they come, are more likely to go to individuals in the design and technical categories responsible for the film's impressive look.

I had Jboss 7.1.1 installaed and your PicketLink 2.0.3 on top of it. Then unzipped the attached as7-subsystem-config.tar.gz to the JBoss root directory per your instruction. It overwrote many module files. But when I start the application I get the following fatal error.

Hi Tony,
The as7-subsystem-config.tar.gz file assumes that you are using PicketLink 2.0.2.Final. This is the official version shipped with JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final.
I think you have downloaded the custom JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final updated with PicketLink 2.0.3. So, you have two options:
1) Update the ${jboss.home.dir}/modules/org/picketlink/main/module.xml to use the 2.0.3 jar files (or use the file attached in this thread);
2) Download the official distribution of the JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final (http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/);

Thank you. Yes I was using PicketLink 2.0.3. But I followed your option 2 suggestion. It works for me now. Previously I could not get the sample war files to run on JBoss AS 7.1.1 with PicktLink 2.0.2. Whereas I was able to run JBoss AS 7.1.0 and Picket Link 2.0.2. But now with the approach suggested I am able to run JBoss AS 7.1.1 and PicketLink 2.0.2. But I only tried the idp.war and sales.war as suggested by the article so far. I was able to open the PicketLink profile. I was able to see the Federation section. But I was not able to see the IDP and SP sections mentioned in the documentation. I am wondering if I am missing something or doing something wrong.
Thank you.

Hi Tony,
Please, try to download the file as7-subsystem-config.tar.gz and install it again.
I think you are the first to start using the console, thanks for the feedbacks. Be free to contribute with ideas and suggestions.

I did not mencion that this version of the console was only compiled to Firefox. Please use it to access the console.
As you read, the console is based on AS7 Console and to reduce the number of permutations (and consequently have a small package) it is compiled only for this browser and for the english language.

6. Re: PicketLink Console for JBoss AS 7Tony Kaska Mar 30, 2012 12:59 AM (in response to Pedro Igor)
I originally tried it with Chrome. So I could not see IdP or SP tabs. When I try it in Firefox I am able to see General, IDP and SP tabs. I am able to see all the right things I would expect to see in those two tabs. I just wanted to send you a quick note that it is working in Firefox. I will try to play more and update.
Let me know if you want me test any thing specific.
Thank you.

Can you give me some pointers to go further with PicketLink IDP and SP. I would like have a MySQL database data store for the users and roles for the IdP. I would like to have my JEE6 application to be SP. I am looking for a sample code or any documentation to get started on this. I appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thank you.
8. Re: PicketLink Console for JBoss AS 7Pedro Igor Mar 31, 2012 9:03 AM (in response to Tony Kaska)
Hi Tony,
The IDP uses JAAS during the authentication process. I think It is a matter of which LoginModule implementation you want. If you want to use a database as an identity store, there is an out-of-box LoginModule called org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule. If you want to use a LDAP identity store there is also another implementation.
You can also create a custom LoginModule to do what ever you want to ....
Take a look at this documentation: http://docs.jboss.org/jbosssecurity/docs/6.0/security_guide/html/Login_Modules.html.

By the way,
There is a new version of the console. With a new layout. See the comments in https://community.jboss.org/wiki/PicketLinkConsoleForJBossAS7#comment-9608.
Next time you post a question, can you create a new discussion when the subject is not about the console ?

11. Re: PicketLink Console for JBoss AS 7Tony Kaska Apr 2, 2012 4:59 AM (in response to Pedro Igor)
Yes I agree. It makes perfect sense to limit only console specific questions in this thread. My apologies for corrupting it little bit. As a matter of fact I have created a separate thread with a question. Now, coming to the new console version. Also I did more tests on the previous version after my post. I will try to explain what remains the same and what is different.
- When I go to the Federation tab from Picket Link once I am in Profile, the page is not updating for the first time. It just stays in the current page showing the details of JDBC database connection. Might make people to wonder nothing happening when they try the Federation link first time. Actually I faced the same problem with chrome in the last version also. We assumed it Chrome specific. But I am able to consistently reproduce it in Firefox both in old and new version. I need to kind of refresh the page couple of times to get the actual screen specific to Federation.
- I see you have the View Link now which takes you a tabbed view for IDP and SPs. (In previous versions you could see all that tabs in Federation link itself). Of course this approach also works.
- I am able to go to IDP and SP tabs and I am seeing what I would expect to see. No issues here. As a matter of fact in SP section, you have the right URL for Sales.war. In the previous version it was not correct. It just had sales.war instead of the actual URL. (I think it is just what user can enter. Just a side note)
- I also added another SP with emoployee.war. It added as expected. No problem there either. (It also worked in the previous version the same way).
- Just for the sake of completion, I want to let you know the last version also worked in Chrome. The same way like Firefox. (First time the page will not update). I tested this version also in Chrome. It throws an error or warning when you first try to get into admin portal. (GWT error sighting incompatibility from Safari version). If you ignore and continue it works like Firefox.
Though not related to the console, I just want to share few more observation I have when I tested IDP and Sales.
Sales.war part works as expected. I am not able to see any problem.
Once I log in to sales, I am able to navigate to idp without login which is good.
But in the IdP page, when I see the listed applications sales and employees, when I try those links it is not going to sales page. It is gives an error page not found. (Link is trying to jump to page sales-saml11 which is not present)
Employee.war does not work at all. Of course the instruction says it might not work.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you want to check anything specifically. Thanks.

Hi Tony,
First of all thanks for the feedbacks. You are helping a lot
A new version is available for download. Given the changes, the package is not attached in the article anymore. Here are the major changes:
- Code refactoring to use the new AS7 extension mechanism. As you can see, the project structure has changed;
- Added some validations when configuring the IDP and SPs;
- Now the restart of the applications (IDPs and SPs) are optional. The user can force a restart clicking on a link
- Fixed some bugs when removing a federation and trying to create a new one with the same IDP used before
- Documentation was updated. I reorganized the pages too.
- Updated the employee.war.
- I think the "first access" bug you reported is now fixed. If you still have problems with this, please tell me.
A 1.0.Final version should be released soon.
Thanks again,
Pedro Igor

Happy to be of help. Where can I find the download now? Is the link below the right one? Please advise. Thanks.

First access bug seems to be addressed. I do not see it.
Restart works.
Employee.war is working. (I am able to see the cartoon of the day)
Looks pretty good so far.
However, the annoying message when you start in Chrome still happens. But if you just go past the message everything works in chrome. So if you can remove that message you can assume you are supporting Chrome browser also as much as I can tell.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — Not long ago, Dominic Oduro was struggling to find a starting spot in MLS.
But everything changed when he came from Houston to Chicago's speed-oriented team last season, and he answered the bell by scoring 12 goals for the Fire in 2011.
The Dynamo come to Toyota Park to play the Fire on Sunday (6 pm CT, CSN Chicago, Galavision), but Oduro doesn't see this game as any different than any other game.
Faster Than FreakyFast?
"Of course I'm going against my former team," he said. "I know a lot of people are wanting to find out whether I'm really psyched about this, but the answer is that I have to be psyched about every game."
Oduro feels comfortable in Chicago, where he teams with Ghanaian forward Patrick Nyarko. The duo forms one of the fastest strike partnerships in the league.
"Houston is history right now for me," Oduro said. "Now I'm living in the present and the Chicago Fire. We're just trying to get points against a team in our conference. I just see it as us playing an MLS team."
Gargan ready to go
Defender Dan Gargan is healthy after sitting the Fire's last game against Colorado on April 1.
He should be back in the starting lineup against Houston, allowing Logan Pause to move back into his normal midfield position.
"It seems like [Gargan] should be ready to go," head coach Frank Klopas said. "He felt pretty good. He should be ready for Sunday."
Other injury news
Cory Gibbs has a timetable of four to six months to return from his torn meniscus, and Klopas thinks he'll be able to return sometime this season.
"I hope so," Klopas said. "He's always taking care of his body. I'm very optimistic that he will be back."
Federico Puppo was held out of practice for precautionary reasons after his hamstring felt tight during warm-ups.

Let The Racing Begin Not Quite As Planned, But It's Good To Get Started
Big-money races are traditionally end-of-season events. When promoter Ben Bellamy sent notice that he would be hosting a $10,000 to-win event for Mini Stocks in March, it got our attention. The drought between November and February when NASCAR Nextel Cup racing is on hiatus is bad enough, but that's nothing compared to the off-season for Saturday night racing. Bellamy's event, the Pro4 Modified Southern Nationals, was held March 12-14 at Florence (SC) Motor Speedway. At first, it seemed to get off to a great start.
Race Engineering signed on as the event's primary sponsor. Then the early entries started pouring in. Event rules stipulated that the $10,000 winner's purse would be paid only if the race had 100 entries. Bellamy said although he had only 70 early entries, he still planned to make the big payday so that the event would have a successful first year.
But then the first-time glitches started cropping up. First, the checks on at least 30 of the entries bounced. Other teams simply failed to show up. After Friday's practice and qualifying had already begun, competitors began noticing that the track was selling two different tires. Both were McCreary rubber, but one-the Sportsman-was significantly faster than the other-the 750. Making matters worse, the Sportsman tires were only available in the smaller 13-inch size. Racers who had set up for 14-inch tires were out of luck. This, of course, caused other teams to drop out in frustration. By Sunday morning, Bellamy was forced to make the announcement that he couldn't pay the $10,000, but instead offered $100 to every racer who took the green flag. Thankfully, Race Engineering kept its commitment to the racers and its pledge to pay contingency money (beginning with $300 to the winner).
What at first seemed like a great kickoff event for the 2004 four-cylinder racing season ended up little more than a warm-up race, but it was still good to get some racing in. For his part, Bellamy plans to regroup and try again next year to provide a top-quality early-season event for the Mini-Stock racers.
Unfortunately, because of all the circumstances, only 19 cars took the green flag.
Just before the halfway point, this Mustang started struggling with a real loose problem, as you can tell. The driver collected his car and kept it off the wall, but it was enough to make the photographer abandon his position inside Turn 4 in a hurry.
Florence Motor Speedway only has concrete retaining walls along the frontstretch. The rest of the inside track is ringed with an Armco barrier, but it is well off the asphalt. The effect sometimes makes the cars seem as if they are racing down a country road.
Florence Motor Speedway's racing surface isn't lit, so the race took place midday. As the sun lowered over Turn 1, it caused vision problems for some drivers. That wasn't good news because the facility lacked a retaining wall outside either turn or the backstretch.
Here's something you don't see every day: a GM product in a Mini-Stock race. This Sunbird ran well but simply didn't have the horsepower to keep up with the Mustangs.
Two Toyotas started the event, and both travelled from Birmingham, Alabama. Both cars were nicely built, especially Scott Little's No. 21, but they were required to carry the full 2,350 pounds just like the Mustangs despite their smaller 1,800cc engines. Predictably, they struggled because of this.

May 17, 2007
The eight Big West Track & Field major awards were spread among four teams as the conference announced the winners of the Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.
For the women, UC Santa Barbara claimed two of the awards as Stephanie Rothstein repeated as the Female Track Athlete of the Year, while teammate Amy Haapanen claimed the Female Field Athlete of the Year.
Rothstein (Phoenix, Ariz.), the 2006 Female Athlete of the Year, had a spectacular season in the distance events in her final go-round as a Gaucho. She set Big West records in the 5,000 (16:12.77) and 10,000 (33:26.79) leading up to the conference championship meet, both times being well under the NCAA Regional standard. At the Big West championships, she finished second in the 5,000-meter run and was the winner in the 10,000, her second straight individual crown in the event.
Haapanen (Manteca, Calif.) was as equally impressive in the throwing events as her teammate Rothstein was in the distance events. The senior had the top marks in the shot put and hammer, while ranking second in the discus leading up to the Big West Championships. Her mark in the hammer established a new conference record. At the conference meet, Haapanen recorded a personal best 15.93 meters for the gold in the shot put and added another individual title in the hammer with a meet-record effort of 62.88 meters.

Now what do I feed? Identifying food hypersensitivity in dogs and cats
Food hypersensitivity, food intolerance and other adverse reactions to food (ARF) cause a myriad of effects on several different systems of the body, with the integument and digestive systems being most commonly affected. This two-part article series provides insight into how ARF affects the skin in dogs and cats and how to definitely diagnose and manage patients with food allergies.
Most common culprits
One common misconception of clients and many veterinarians is that food allergy is more likely to develop only after a recent diet change. In fact, when food allergies develop, the offending allergen has often been fed for more than two years, and some patients will eat the same protein for many years before the allergy develops.
Further complicating the workup of a patient with a suspected food allergy is the recognition that some patients will have cross reactions between related food ingredients. This phenomenon is well recognized in human medicine as well. Examples include patients allergic to chicken who will not tolerate duck or turkey. Some patients allergic to beef will cross-react or show clinical signs when exposed to other ruminants, such as lamb or venison. Fortunately, not all patients with food allergies will have cross reactions, but some will.

A Missouri slaughter house is recalling thousands of pounds of beef products distributed to a grocery store chain and two restaurants because the meat could be tainted with mad cow disease.
Fruitland American Meat in Jackson, Mo., is recalling 4,012 pounds of beef processed at the facility between Sept. 2013 and April 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Thursday.
The recalled meat was packaged in 40-pound cases of bone-in ribeye and quartered beef carcasses, and then shipped to a Whole Foods distribution center in Connecticut as well as two restaurants in New York, NY, and Kansas City, Mo.
A spokesperson for USDA's inspection service said that agency regulations do not allow them to name the restaurants.
USDA inspectors discovered during a review of the company's logs that parts of the cattle's nervous systems may not have been completely removed as required by law.
Tissues from the nervous system of cows older than 30 months of age are banned from human consumption in the U.S. because they could be infected with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease.
Mad cow disease is a rare but fatal degenerative disorder that attacks the central nervous system. Humans contract the disease by eating meat contaminated with tissues from the brains and spinal cords of infected cattle.
The cattle in this case showed no signs of infection when examined by a veterinarian after slaughter, USDA said.
Fruitland American Meat is a small facility that employs 45 people and specializes in processing grass-fed organic cattle, according to the company's website. It also processes hogs, lamb, goats, bison, and elk.
The company touts food safety on its website, stressing that all the animals processed there are locally raised in open pastures.
"Knowledge of the farm-environments allow us to track the animal from birth to harvest," the website states. "Accurate tracking provides a tremendous safety feature that is not found with larger processors."
Company sales manager James Fortner did not return a request for comment.
More than 220 people have been diagnosed with mad cow disease worldwide, primarily in the United Kingdom and France.
Only four cases have been reported in the United States.
The most recent U.S. case was confirmed earlier this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention following laboratory tests on a patient who died in Texas.
The patient in Texas had traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East and likely contracted the disease while abroad, the CDC said.
Consumers with food safety questions can ask a virtual representative available 24 hours a day at askkaren.gov or call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

Last week I met up with Sylvia Ji to talk about her latest solo show at White Walls Gallery that went on display on June 9th, 2007. Sylvia, an SF Art Academy graduate, recently moved down to LA to take a job as a lingerie designer, but was spending the week leading up to her show at a friends place in the city to put the finishing touches on her 30+ paintings. I also visited the gallery to see what kind of work goes into the preparation for a new show. Andres Guerrero and Justin Giarla walked me through the process, and boy is it a lot of work. Just the repainting of walls alone is a significant undertaking, not to mention hanging the new show, pricing and dealing with promotion. The third step in my quest to better understand the gallery art world was to go to the opening and see how it all turned out, and see how the artist felt after months of non-stop painting. -Matt Petty

Paul Waltman, 89 - February 02, 2012
Paul Waltman, 89, of Ord, formerly of Gothenburg, died Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012, at the Good Samaritan Health System in Kearney.
A celebration of life service is planned for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Ord with the Rev. Russel J. Troester officiating. Burial will be in the Ord City Cemetery with military honors provided by members of the Ord VFW Post 7029 and American Legion Post No. 38.
Waltman was born June 14, 1922, on a family farm near St. Paul to George and Anna (Wolinski) Waltman. He spent his childhood on the farm and attended District No. 8 country school.
In the early 1940's, he attended a shop and mechanic night school, and entered the United States Army in May of 1945. His infantry training was at Camp Hood, TX, and he was later stationed at Naples, Italy.
While serving with the Army, he did mechanic work. He was discharged in December of 1946.
After the service, he moved to Gothenburg where he was employed as a tune up specialist at Gothenburg Motor Company, and served on the Gothenburg Fire Department.
On Oct. 15, 1950, he was united in marriage to Evelyn Franzen at Gothenburg. The couple lived on a farm near Gothenburg. In 1956, they moved to a farm near North Loup where they began their family farm that they operated until 1995.
Waltman and his wife continued to live on the farm until November of 2011, when they moved into Ord to Grandview Assisted and Independent Living Center.
He was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church where he served in many capacities. He belonged to the Ord VFW Post No. 7029, North Loup American Legion Post No. 285, and the Nebraska Cattleman's and Soybean Association and Farm Bureau. He also served on the Olean District No. 14 School Board and the Valley County ASCS Committee.
Waltman enjoyed NASCAR, collecting coins and participating in cornhusking contests, according to family members.
He was preceded in death by: his parents, George and Anna; a brother and sister-in-law, Clarence (Connie) Waltman; four sisters and five brothers-in-law—Mayme (Bill) Pabian, Adalaide (Clarence) Jensen, Luella (Marvin) Jensen, Josephine (Leonard) Gorecki and Zig Zeleski; two brothers-in-law and sister-in-law—Clarence (Bernice) Bodtke and Paul Krueger.
Survivors include: his wife, Evelyn of Ord; a son, Jeff of North Loup; two daughters—Linda Nance of Ord and Janet Shriner of Littleton, CO; seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; a brother and sister-in-law, Fred (Marj) Wozniak of St. Paul; sister, Rosemary Zeleski of Murry, UT; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law—Lucille Sommers of Florissant, CO, Alvina Krueger of Hebron, Otto and Lois Franzen and Marvin and Jill Franzen, all of Gothenburg; numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorials are suggested to St. John's Lutheran Church and the American Leukemia Association.

text: With these DC motors, there is no testing it's resistance. If it has voltage, and its not moving, it's bad. That being said, I have had a few evap fan motors short and take out the board. Can't recall a cond fan doing the same, but i suppose its possible. If the motor has any discoloration at all (brownish), replace it. Check voltage coming out of the board to run the fans on J2. GE uses Pulse Width Modulation to run its fans, so you need more than just 12VDC at the motor.Just my opinion, I'd never pull the shaft of one motor and put it in another. Even if the motor is $200, its still cheaper than a $2,000 refrigerator.Did your display work with the old board? There was a service bulletin out a while ago on the GE 25cu ft top mount. Basically if you have voltage going to the display/control board, but the main board doesn't receive voltage back, it goes into a 'limp mode' meaning that it could run very erratically. This bulletin doesnt apply to the bottom mount, but its worth knowing. The mini manual on this model doesn't list a specific voltage to run the control board. Check for any DC voltage between all three pins of J4, with J4 unplugged. Plug it in, check for the same voltage at the control board.While you're at the main board, checking all the thermistors is really quick and simple. Their early thermistors had a lot of issues.Let me know what you find! Good luck!

We have lots of creative people in my Prospect Park neighborhood — composers, writers, artists, producers, teachers, gardeners extraordinaire — but neighbor Lian Dolan is a class by herself. Sharp, observant, wry and downright hilarious, Lian first won national notice as one of the Satellite Sisters, the radio talk show run by the five Dolan sisters. She's a co-author of the Satellite Sisters book UnCommon Senses, a writer for magazines, radio and television, and now, via her Chaos Chronicles, a blogger and podcaster with a growing national following. Most importantly, she's the mother of two sons, who have a little something to do with the chaos in her chronicles, and the wife of Pasadena native Berick Treidler.
You've written for pretty much every form: magazines, broadcast, books, websites, blogs, even Twitter. What's your favorite medium to write for? What's left that you haven't tried yet?
Definitely, broadcast. I love writing my own material for the air, first for Satellite Sisters, now for Chaos Chronicles podcasts. No topic is off limits, but the creative challenge is to make it funny, relevant, relatable. It's a double-dip: I write it, then I perform it.
For the same reason, I'd love to try sitcom writing. I have some dusty spec scripts in my drawer from my pre-children days. But after ten years on the air, I have a much better feel for how dialogue really flows and what connects with an audience.
In your bio on the Chaos Chronicles site you say your dream is to be in the Rose Parade, but you've already lived the dream held by millions of American women: to be on Oprah. What was it like?
One of the highlights of my Satellite Sisters career, without a doubt. Everything that happens at Harpo is top-notch, better than you even imagined, from the airport car and the hair-and-make-up team to the professional producers and Ms. Winfrey herself. Oprah is warm and funny, putting you right at ease after five seconds on the air. The whole appearance was a dream. We hosted a series of events for O, the Oprah Magazine after the TV appearance and the positive vibes continued. Live, in person, Oprah is really inspirational. Harpo is great media company run by a great professional.
I know you're a writer, but I also think of you as a wise and witty social anthropologist. From that perspective, how would you describe the culture you've been observing these last ten years: the Pasadena private school world?
I'd describe it in one sentence: When will it end?
Here's what I thought ten years ago when my son was accepted to kindergarten: Now we can all stop comparing schools in endless conversations and move on with our lives. But no, the comparisons never end! At every party, on every sideline, in perpetuity, the private school cultures endlessly fascinate Pasadena parents. Which school has the most homework? Best sibling policy? Most kids with perfect SAT scores? Snobbiest moms? I went to public schools my entire life and I doubt my mother ever had a single conversation about the politics of the PTA. Please tell me it will end at high school graduation.
Rumor has it that you're writing a novel set right here in Pasadena. Can you give us just a little teaser?
It's part romantic comedy/part social satire about a newly widowed Pasadena woman who has to reinvent her life after her husband's untimely death. Yes, I include the Rose Parade, the private school madness, the social hierarchy, the local news talent and the iceberg roses in every garden.
It's Saturday afternoon in Pasadena. Your sons are gone to sleepovers and your husband is out running. What do you do? (The answer can't be laundry.)
Easy, take the dog for a walk down near the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center. I do the pars course and she chases the gophers. Then, I'm off to the Pasadena Central Library or Vroman's for new books, my favorite stops in all of Pasadena. And then, if I have time, a swing through Target. That's my perfect Pasadena trifecta.
Editor's note: Lian will be speaking at Holy Family Church, 1527 Fremont Ave. in South Pasadena, on Wednesday, May 6th, at 7 p.m. This free Mother's Day–themed talk is titled: Staying Connected to Stay Sane: Lessons I Learned from my Mother.

By Michael Holden and Kate Holton
LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron faces a no-win dilemma on Thursday when a far-reaching inquiry into British newspapers delivers its verdict on how to curb the excesses of the country's notoriously aggressive press.
Cameron, who was embarrassed when details of his personal links to Rupert Murdoch and his media empire emerged at the inquiry, will have to decide whether to accept its findings, which risk dividing his coalition government and angering an already hostile press.
He will give his response to the House of Commons after the report is published at 1330 GMT, under scrutiny from the chamber's public gallery filled with high-profile figures who have campaigned for a clampdown on an industry they say ruins lives.
The inquiry was ordered by Cameron following public outrage at Murdoch's now defunct News of the World tabloid, whose journalists had hacked the phone messages of schoolgirl Milly Dowler, who was later found dead.
Exposing the cozy relationships between political leaders, police chiefs and press barons, the inquiry revealed the "dark arts" of journalists seeking ever more salacious stories in a bid to hold up dwindling circulation figures.
Huge attention will be focused on whether Lord Justice Brian Leveson, one of Britain's top judges, recommends a new body to regulate the press with powers enshrined in law, or merely says the existing system of self-regulation should be overhauled.
He could also criticise Cameron's government, including one of his most senior ministers, Jeremy Hunt, for close ties to Murdoch's News Corp and their handling of the company's aborted bid to take control of pay-TV group BSkyB in what would have been its largest acquisition.
The press, backed by some 80 members of parliament, has lobbied hard for Cameron to resist calls for legislation, arguing it would curb freedom of speech and mean newspapers requiring state approval for the first time since 1695.
However, a similar number of lawmakers, as well as academics and celebrities, favor statutory regulation while opinion polls suggest the public also agrees.
The issue has divided the cabinet and could put the prime minister at odds with the leader of the Liberal Democrats, the junior partners in the coalition government.
"The status quo is unacceptable and needs to change," Cameron told parliament on Wednesday. "This government set up Leveson because of unacceptable practices in parts of the media and because of a failed regulatory system."
Some media have speculated that Cameron will give the press one last chance to get its house in order even if Leveson backs a new law, although critics say there have been similar repeated warnings for half a century, all of which have been ignored.
Under the watchful eye of Leveson, celebrities - including Hollywood actor Hugh Grant, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, singer Charlotte Church, Dowler's parents and other unknown Britons who found themselves in the media spotlight, told the inquiry how they had been harassed, bullied, and traumatized by the press.
Four prime ministers including Cameron were also quizzed in great detail about their links to newspaper owners, especially Murdoch, who himself endured two days of grilling, during which he denied playing puppet-master to those running the country.
The inquiry heard intimate emails and text messages between Cameron and Murdoch's top lieutenant Rebekah Brooks, who goes on trial next year over the alleged phone hacking.
"A lot of these very difficult decisions are no-win situations politically but what the prime minister wants to do is to do the right thing, and that's the kind of decision that will stand the test of time," Hunt, a former Culture Secretary and now Health Secretary, told Sky News.

I like how the infestation spread will work . I just i hope don't be so fast when you are not playing the game.
[quote]Zombie games have been in constant supply during this console generation, but many of them focus on action. With the upcoming State of Decay for Xbox Live Arcade, developer Undead Labs is instead forcing the player to focus more on survival and building a community of survivors.
In the game's open world, several areas can be set up as bases for your community. These can eventually be upgraded and modified with a variety of upgrades, including weapon repair stations, med stations with cots for the injured, and gardens to grow your
own food. Vehicle repair stations will be critical, as there is a finite number of cars in the game world that can become permanently totalled.
Dynamic missions will pop up from time to time, and you'll have to take out infestations if you don't want them to spread to other areas. The game utilizes real world time, so the infection will definitely spread if you go several days without playing.
Instead of just running in and taking out hordes of zombies with your fists and weapons, you can utilize stealth and distractions. Let's say you need to get in a hardware store to get nails for your base, but a horde of zombies is hanging out near the front.
You can leave a police car's siren on or throw some firecrackers to lure them towards the noise, and then sneak by.
Many missions will be dynamic, but there is a narrative thread tying everything together and story characters that can't die. It's big in scope for a downloadable title, featuring a game world as big as Grand Theft Auto III. No release date is set right
now, but Undead Labs seems confident that it will release before or during this year's Summer of Arcade.[/quote]

Isn't that color a little bright for a ninja?
Added Jun 15, 2011

So, yet another bed spread project. Yet another dress with a big red bow. But finally another pattern from tomoko nakamichi's pattern magic. vol 1. Titles the knot dress.
Pretty simple pattern. Didnt take much time at all. But im loving the shape of these 1960's type dresses. They are super cute and fun. Thhhhennnn….add a big bow on the front, and who couldn't be happier? __
Scored the bed spread in an op shop, and have had it sitting there a while trying to figure out what pattern would show off all the different pictures on it the best. Originally i was going to make this dress out of some gorgeous red/pink/white checkered thick silk which i got in bali, but unfortunately, after making the pattern, it was the slightest bit too small :( i also though the print of the fabric was bold and fun enough to compliment the 1960's A frame shape. But had to go through my stash and find something more suitable. Im very glad with the end result. Do i need to grow up?…..Im thinking not quite yet… The dress has facing for the arm holes and neckline, and has no zip (is alot of fun to slide into lol…)
Anyway's, this dress was super quick and enjoyable to make, i really need to buy the new Pattern Magic books! So much fun awaits me….
OH! and i even made a little pokeball hair clip to match ~.^
Hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
P.s. Title is a pokemon quote…
P.p.s like my new melissa's?!?!?!

DESOTO PARISH, LA (KSLA) - The search for a man believed kidnapped by a Natchitoches police officer in Sabine Parish was called off at nightfall, but regular patrols are on the lookout in the area where he is believed to have last been seen.
Extensive search efforts all day Wednesday in the Kisatchie National Forest west of I-49 in Natchitoches Parish turned up no signs of 25-year-old Tony Procell, missing since Tuesday morning.
34-year-old Robert Barthelemy of Robeline is charged with aggravated kidnapping in connection with Procell's disappearance. Police say he has told them that Procell was alive when he left him at a ranger's station.
"He was able to give us a specific location that he said that he last saw Mr. Procell," says Joe Dewil with the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office, "but after searching that area we still have not been able to locate him."
The search Wednesday focused on the Long Leaf Trail area about 18 miles south of Hwy 6 off of Highway 117.
At a 3 p.m. briefing Wednesday, Dewil said the effort to find Procell at this point is still considered a "search and rescue effort." However, he says, "we've pretty much exhausted the search area." He did not expect the search to continue past nightfall unless new information pointed to another area. "If the area has been searched thoroughly, we don't have any more information, at that point and time, we would call off the search."
DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle says his deputies, along with State Police, Natchitoches and Red River sheriff's deputies, were all involved in the high speed chase that ended with a brief standoff before Barthelemy's capture around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday morning on Hwy 177 in DeSoto Parish. "It was probably 30 officers down there and the subject just stopped in the middle of the road and after talking with him different people talking with him for about an hour and 45 minutes, he surrendered to authorities without any incident."
Barthelemy has been charged with aggravated kidnapping.
Sabine Sheriff Ronny Richardson told KSLA News 12 they are "fearing the worst" as the search for Procell wore on into the early afternoon. It's a large forested area. Heat and dehydration are of primary concern. Still, Dewil says Procell's military training and background could prove useful if he was left in the middle of the forest, and it's possible that he could use some of the many trails and roads within to find his way to the edge, where there are plenty of houses.
According to Richardson, the kidnapping was captured on surveillance video at the home where Procell was taken. The sheriff says Barthelemy can clearly be seen taking Procell at gunpoint.
Sheriff Richardson also confirms that his deputies were preparing to serve Barthelemy Tuesday with an order forbidding him from Procell's property, after his mother reported her tires had been slashed and other ongoing domestic issues allegedly involving Barthelemy. At that point, however, Barthelemy could not be located.
KSLA News 12 has also confirmed that the alleged kidnapping took place at the home he shares with a Louisiana State Police trooper on New Hope Road in Sabine Parish. The search for Procell began after the trooper came home and found Procell missing and the house in disarray.
Of the relationship between Procell and his alleged kidnapper, Dewil says "They knew each other. That's all I can say at this point in the investigation."
Barthelemy has been booked into the DeSoto Parish Jail and charged with aggravated kidnapping. He was turned over to Sabine Parish authorities late Wednesday morning and reportedly taken to the search area before he was taken to the parish detention center shortly after 1 p.m. The Natchitoches Police Department confirms Barthelemy, a 2-year-veteran of the department, has been placed on administrative leave.
Sheriff Richardson says Barthelemy's vehicle and weapons, including the gun believed to have been used in the kidnapping, have been recovered. They will be sent to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for testing.
Dewil says people are urged not to go out and search for themselves, saying it's not safe. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Tony Procell is asked to call the DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office at (318) 872-3956.

The book reaches beyond the usual boundaries of psychiatry to incorporate lessons from related fields, such as psychology, sociology, social welfare, philosophy, political economic theory, and civil rights. From Jane Addams and the Settlement House movement to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gilles Deleuze, this book identifies the less well–known and less visible dimensions of the recovery concept and movement that underlie concrete clinical practice.
In addition, the authors highlight the limitations of previous efforts to reform and transform mental health practice, such as the de–institutionalization movement begun in the 1950s, in the hope that the field will not have to repeat these same mistakes. Their thoughtful analysis and valuable advice will benefit people in recovery, their loved ones, the practitioners who serve them, and society at large.
Foreword by Fred Frese, Founder of the Community and State Hospital Section of the American Psychological Association and past president of the National Mental Health Consumers′ Association
"This well–written, interesting volume should serve to provide significant edification and enlightenment to anyone desirous of a better grounding in how we have arrived at these relatively halcyon days of transforming our approach to persons with serious mental illness from one focusing primarily on care to one where the primary goal is that of recovery" (see Excerpt above for full Foreword).

8 Conclusion
"This is an important contribution from international leads, which offers the reader interested in recovery an awareness of its substantial ethical and political foundations and the need to sustain a civil rights perspective." (British Journal of Psychiatry, 2011)
"Just as Tuke and the late 18th century reformers were bold in their vision of moral treatment, we need to be bold about recovery. Davidson et al. provide some of the conceptual and political framework for that vision, and it is these aspects of their book that will help practitioners build recovery focused mental health services." (Metapsychology, February 2011)"This book should be required reading for any young professional entering the mental health field. Education in the history of the development of applied psychology will often give the reader a self–satisfied glow. We know so much more now than in the days of insulin shock therapy, hydrotherapy, and psychoanalysis. The Roots of the Recovery Movement in Psychiatry: Lessons Learned drives home the point that we can learn as much from the successes of our predecessors as we can from their mistakes". (American Psychological Association, 17 November 2010)
"This book is a wonderful contribution to the literature attempting to untangle the web of what recovery truly means to individuals and how care can continue to evolve to meet the fundamental rights of human beings with serious mental illnesses." (Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Summer 2010)"However the book is not limited to the study of psychiatry– it illustrates how psychiatry has been influenced by other disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, political theory, and civil rights. This is the major strength of this book." (British Journal of Wellbeing, September 2010)
