(AP) — Authorities say a 62-year-old Albion man has died after a traffic accident in east-central Nebraska’s Boone County.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the accident occurred around 5:20 a.m. Wednesday in St. Edward. The patrol says James Kiesling was driving north in the town when his vehicle left the roadway and struck an embankment. He was alone in his vehicle.

His death and the crash are being investigated. The patrol says Kiesling was not wearing a seat restraint and may have been drinking alcohol.

(AP) — A 20-year-old man has been given 10 to 16 years in prison for burglary and another conviction stemming from theft and destruction at a middle school in Lincoln.

Online court records say Bruce Grandel had pleaded no contest to burglary and aiding and abetting possession of a firearm. Prosecutors had lowered the weapons charge and dropped another one in exchange for Grandel’s pleas. He was sentenced Wednesday in Lancaster County District Court.

Prosecutors say Grandel and others broke into Dawes Middle School on Dec. 20 and smashed computer monitors, pulled down wall clocks and fired gunshots at a school window. Two computers and a projector were stolen.

Court records say the operation’s owner, 61-year-old Julie Hudson, on Thursday pleaded no contest to misdemeanor cruel neglect. Her sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 25.

The Nebraska Correctional Services Department says the assault occurred around 4 a.m. Thursday at the West Campus of Bryan Medical Center.

Nebraska Penitentiary prisoner Robert Carter had been taken to the hospital on Sunday for treatment. The department says the officer was watching Carter in a restroom when Carter yelled at him, hit him in the head and turned to leave. The department says that when the officer told Carter to stop, Carter turned and stabbed the officer with a metal butter knife.

Cuts to the officer’s head, neck and an ear were treated at the hospital, and he was released.

Carter is serving a 30-year sentence for attempted assault on an officer and several other convictions.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s office says Duane Safarik, of Ralston, died after the Wednesday night crash.

Witnesses say Safarik may have lost control of the Ford F-150 he was driving after he crossed the center land of Highway 92, which is also called West Center Road.

Authorities say Safarik may have overcorrected, and his truck flipped down an embankment near 240th Street.

Safarik died later at an Omaha hospital.

Investigators are trying to determine whether speed or alcohol contributed to the crash.

The redesigned look unveiled late Wednesday is part of a makeover that Yahoo Inc. has been undergoing since the Sunnyvale, Calif., company hired Google executive Marissa Mayer to become Yahoo’s CEO 14 months ago.

Mayer has already spruced up Yahoo’s front page, email and Flickr photo-sharing service, as well as engineered a series of acquisitions aimed at attracting more traffic on mobile devices.

The shopping spree has been highlighted by Yahoo’s $1.1 billion purchase of Tumblr, an Internet blogging service where the company rolled out its new logo.

The logo was shown in purple spelling out the word Yahoo!, with no letters touching and ending with an exclamation point.
