NAMI StigmaBusters, with its dedicated advocates across the country, are successfully fighting the pervasive and damaging stigma that exists toward persons with mental illness.
NAMI StigmaBusters now number more than 5,000. Numbers do count, so let your voice be heard.

1. TITUS: An Update
Situation: The following letter sent to Gail Berman recaps the concerns NAMI StigmaBusters emailed to the FOX Broadcasting Company in May of this year following the episode described below:
August 23, 2000
Gail Berman, President
Dear Ms. Berman:
Congratulations on your recent appointment as President of the Entertainment Group, FOX Broadcasting Company.
The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) represents more than 220,000 families throughout the country who have a son or a daughter, a spouse or a sibling, or an aging parent affected by a severe mental illness, including schizophrenia.
We want to acquaint you with our concerns about "Titus". We have discussed the issue with Andrew Lozano who received the many messages from our members after the May 8th episode when the Titus office was in hiatus. We do understand that Christopher Titus, the creator/star of this series, based the script on his own life. However, the powerful impact of television requires a responsibility to the entire audience.
- The "Titus" episode of May 8th, repeated twice since, presented a most damaging and destructive image of mental illness. The portrayal of the mother reinforced the stereotype of fear of violence by persons with mental illness. A few months ago we received an email from a member, a 28- year-old woman with a master's degree in computer science, who was struggling with manic-depression. She wrote: "Why does the media continue to portray us as monsters?" Two hours later she committed suicide.
- Persons with a mental illness require treatment combining medication, rehabilitation and positive family/friend support. Unfortunately, they still face hurtful, unfair fear and stigma in the community as they recover and seek decent housing and work. These persons, afflicted with a no-fault brain disorder, deserve the same respect accorded to individuals who struggle with other devastating physical disorders like cancer, diabetes, HIV, MS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.
- Mental illness is not a laughing matter. In his landmark Report on Mental Health, U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher said that "stigma must no longer be tolerated" and that stigma must be reduced by "dispelling myths about mental illness and by providing accurate knowledge to ensure more informed consumers." In contrast, "Titus" perpetuates myths with its destructive and demeaning portrayal of the mother and the language alluding to her as "looney tunes" and being in the "booby hatch" and the "nut farm". Suggesting that viewers log on to the FOX web site which links them to KEN (the Knowledge Education Network) does not compensate for this insensitive portrayal of this character.
We hope you understand our request that, as you "nurture this fledgling series", this episode not be repeated and that this type of portrayal and stereotypical language not be used in future "Titus" episodes. We look forward to your response. Thank you!!
Action: We contacted Gail Berman's office for a specific response, and was told that she did receive and read our letter. We urge you to continue to monitor this program which airs Tuesday evening, 8:30 p.m. on FOX TV. Check your local TV schedules for broadcast time in your area. Should the mother character again be portrayed or treated in this offensive manner, we urge you to write: Gail Berman, President, FOX TV Entertainment, 10302 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90035, and send a copy of your letter to Brian Hargrove, Executive Producer of Titus, at the same address. Email messages may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
2.Mysterious Ways: New NBC Series
Situation: The September 4, 2000 episode of "Mysterious Ways", a new NBC weekly series, included the portrayal of a female character who heard voices except when she was on medication. Since she liked being manic and hearing voices, she and her husband wound up throwing her medications across the room.
Action: We urge you to contact the program's producers and have provided a sample letter that you may wish to use. Letters may be fax'd to (818) 432- 7664.
Peter O'Fallon, Executive Producer
Dear Mr. O'Fallon and Mr. Binder:
We commend you for your fascinating new series "Mysterious Ways" dealing with the investigation of mystical phenomena and wish you high ratings.
With more than 220,000 members, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) is the country's leading grassroots advocacy organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons with severe mental illnesses and for their families.
We have received many letters from NAMI members expressing concern about the "Mysterious Ways" episode of Monday, September 4, 2000, on NBC, which included the portrayal of a woman who heard voices except when she was on medication. Since she enjoyed being manic and hearing voices, she and her husband wound up throwing her medications across the room. This is an unfortunate message to and about persons with severe mental illnesses who need their medication to live a functional life in the community. We do not believe you would portray characters with equally devastating illnesses in this manner.
The message also promotes the pervasive, hurtful stigma against persons with mental illness. This stigma impacts adolescents with severe depression who don't seek psychiatric treatment leading, in part, to an alarming increase in their suicide rate. As US Surgeon General David Satcher commented in his landmark report on mental illness, that "stigma must no longer be tolerated" and that stigma must be reduced by "dispelling myths about mental illness and by providing accurate knowledge to ensure more informed consumers".
We hope you and your writing staff understand our concerns and that you will not repeat this episode in the future. We invite you and your staff to visit our award- winning web site at www. nami.org for additional information that may assist in the development of any future episodes dealing with severe mental illness.
Thank you for your consideration.
3.The Trouble With Normal: New ABC Series
Situation: After receiving many concerned reports on the promotional trailers on NBC for the new series, we contacted the program's producer. He has assured us that characters in this sitcom have no connection with severe mental illness. The series is based on so- called normal people who are neurotic and paranoid about everyday situations. Group therapy sessions are prominently featured in the program
Action: Monitor the series scheduled to start on Friday, October 6, 2000, at 8:30 p.m. on ABC. Check your local TV listings for the time in your area.
4. Psycho Pops Continued
Situation: We have received a report that Psycho Pops has retained their offensive title, image and description. You may recall that we contacted them in l999 and were told that as a small family based business they couldn't afford to do much about this situation. (See NAMI letter below.)
Action: We believe that this company has had adequate time to eliminate or modify the wrappers over the past year and urge NAMI StigmaBusters to drive our message home. Send your letters or emails to: John Brooks, Sr., CEO, Adams & Brooks, Inc., 1915 South Hoover Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007; email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
NAMI's original letter of complaint:
October 27, l999
Mr. John Brooks, Sr., CEO
Dear Mr. Brooks:
NAMI, the Nation's Voice on Mental Illness, on behalf of its 210,000 families – each family with a son or a daughter, a spouse or a sibling or a parent – diagnosed with a severe mental illness –is outraged and offended by your flyer introducing your product 'Psycho Pops" with insane sweet/sour flavors split by a hot psycho streak, with flavors called strait jacket strawberry, rabid raspberry, loco lemon and featuring ugly cartoon images. Topping it all you advertise that you are targeting kids 7-15 years old.
This language with the ugly cartoon images perpetuate the pervasive stigma which prevents persons with symptoms of a severe mental illness from seeking treatment. Youngsters fear the taunting of their peers with this language. Too many adolescents, plagued by untreated depression, are committing suicide – the numbers escalating at an alarming rate. We do not believe you want to increase this rate with a sales promotion targeting these youngsters.
NAMI is working with schools throughout the country to educate children about the symptoms of mental illness and the fact that it is a brain disorder – a disorder of the body like any other illness such as cancer, diabetes, heart and lung diseases, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's. And-- that it requires diagnosis and treatment, like all other illnesses. .
We hope you will follow the lead of Nestle USA who responded to the comments of our thousands of families and have withdrawn the offensive names with cartoon faces of their Tasty Tangy Taffy bars to be repackaged and renamed.
NAMI's concerns follow the lead of the President at the White House Conference on Mental Health and the U.S. Surgeon General, working to reduce the suicide rate among our children by eliminating the stigma based on centuries old myths and misconceptions.
We look forward to your response.
5.Mania: Giorgia Armani New Perfume
Situation: Many NAMI StigmaBusters have written to us complaining about the new Armani perfume "Mania" and its advertising campaign in newspapers and women's magazines, which features the language "Driven by Desire" and "Live a Little". We believe the product name and marketing approach is terribly insensitive to persons with bipolar disorder.
Action: Send your letters of concern to Tisha
Message Points:
- Persons with bipolar disorder (also know as manic- depressive illness) experience distressing mood swings that alternate from periods of severe highs (mania) to extreme lows (major depression). The mania episode may include symptoms of hyperactivity, explosive temper, impaired judgement, increased spending, grandiose notions, aggressive behavior, and delusions. We do not believe this is the vision that you or your creative staff had in mind for your new romance enhancing fragrance named "Mania".
The name "Mania" and the accompanying advertising campaign belittles the millions of people who struggle with this disorder, diminishes the severity of real mania, and further exacerbates the public's ignorance of this devastating mental illness.
6.Films for Release in 2001
Several screenplays in the works feature characters with mental illness. We are tracking closely the development of these productions and will keep you informed about which carry offensive material and which may be commended for positive, accurate portrayals.
7. Special Alert: Commission on Presidential Debates Web Site
NAMI's I VOTE I COUNT! Initiative is working to register voters and to encourage the candidates to be responsive to our issues. By the time you read this, the first presidential debate will be over, but the campaign is far from over. The Commission on Presidential Debates is hosting a web site at www.debates.org where you can share your reactions to the debates, participate on issue- oriented online chats, and even weigh in on the issues you think the debates should focus. Visit www.debates.org and let your voice be heard.
Date: October 11
Date: October 17
Again, we thank you for your many sightings of stigma in all national media. If we haven't included something you shared with you, it means either that it did not meet our criteria for inclusion (see August 11 StigmaBusters Alert) or that we are still investigating the situation. We also welcome out many new members who have recently joined us to increase our count of messages sent by StigmaBusters. Every message counts! And EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
With your enthusiastic support, NAMI StigmaBusters making a real difference!

At 6,200 feet above sea level, Sailing Ventures' certified captains lead small groups into Lake Tahoe's waters, teaching them the skills needed to navigate their own aquatic adventures. The instructors can ferry students from beginner to advanced levels, with lessons catered to everyone from families to seasoned sailors wanting to make practical use of their anchor tattoos. Alternatively, the crew charters yachts into the lake, leaving passengers to enjoy the scenery.
Carved by glaciers, Lake Tahoe's bays and coastline set the perfect backdrop for Sailing Ventures' expeditions. Snow-capped mountains and dense forests paint the horizon as boats float atop waters clearer than the windows at a dermatologist's office.
A lone runner emerges on the horizon, covered completely in mud that falls from his arms in chunks. He soldiers up a hill, stopping only briefly before throwing himself between hanging car tires swaying from ropes. He's smiling a big, goofy grin as he's battered by the tires and exhausted by the distance—but he wouldn't be here if he wasn't up for the challenge. Sierra Recon's muddy courses traverse 4-, 7-, and 11-mile stretches with walls, beams, nets, and ice awaiting runners between the starting line and the after party. The race, which boasts at least two such creative obstacles each mile, attracts both daredevils and their enthusiastic entourages, who holler their encouragement from a dry deck with views of the course. Runners can choose both their difficulty and distance for the race, though all routes promise mud and creative obstacles built by licensed contractors.
At eFit & Sports, working out and playing games are combined into a single pastime. The center encourages kids to develop healthy habits with a roster of more than 150 heart-healthy activities, which range from Exergaming—a blend of mental and physical challenges—to circuit training and floor games. The team rounds out its offerings with more academic programs, such as after-school tutoring and nutrition education.
Silver Strike Lanes is a modern bowling facility with 26 lanes, arcade, full café, full bar with gaming. 4 lanes of our 26 are located in a private party room allowing us to offer small to very large parties for children and adults. New management took over January 1st of 2011 and many changes have already taken place
Surrounded by towering foothills and nestled next to the waterways of scenic Carson Valley, Sunridge Golf Club's 18-hole, par 72 course stretches across 6,914 yards of picturesque vistas and challenging course play. The layout demands confident swings from the first tee box—the beginning of a 575-yard par 5—where errant shots will find an aquatic abyss to the right of the fairway. Tight fairways and intervening creeks supply the bulk of the challenge throughout the round, requiring golfers to summon sound course management, deft club selection, and one flutist versed in charming pond monsters. A relatively difficult course, Sunridge's five tee options and photo-op-worthy topography make for an enjoyable round for golfers of all abilities. Players can warm up their swings prior to the round at the driving range, which offers both grass and synthetic-turf hitting surfaces, allowing players to choose whether to infuriate Mother Earth by tearing divots into her cherished dirt or by favoring her inorganic doppelganger.

Pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device company meeting planners and third parties who provide meeting planning services to the life sciences industry have a lot of questions about how to comply with the ever-growing compendium of rules and regulations governing their meetings for healthcare professionals. Two meeting experts tackled their questions head-on after an August webinar detailing the requirements of the PhRMA and AdvaMed Codes, state reporting authorities, and the federal Sunshine Act. The new act requires industry to track what companies spend per physician annually—including at meetings. (An archive of the webinar, which was hosted by Medical Meetings, can be accessed for free here.)
Here's a rundown of some of the questions—and answers from the presenters, James Vachon, associate director, Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Co.; and Angie Duncan, CMP, CMM, vice president, client operations, VMS Inc., a meeting management agency that specializes in strategic meetings management for the medical industry.
What's an HCP?
The voluntary codes, state reporting requirements, and now federal law place the burden on the pharma company to track meeting-related spending on healthcare professionals, or HCPs. So it's important to define what your organization considers to be an HCP. While the rules and regulations don't spell it out in detail, planners should ensure that their company has a definition, and that it be fairly broad. It's better to collect the HCPs' names, specialties, payment amounts and forms, and the other data you need to track now, rather than to have to go back and recreate the records in the future.
How do you track which states require what, and how do you keep updated?
Most companies have someone in their compliance and/or legal departments who monitors state regs. Planners—whether in-house or third-party—should partner with the company's legal and compliance teams to develop an update plan. If your company doesn't have an in-house department, find out who the company's main legal person is, and consult with him or her on the company's overall compliance policy.
To which states do you need to report data? The state where you're meeting? The state where you're incorporated? Where your HCPs are coming from?
You have to report the relevant data to whichever state the HCP is licensed in. And be forewarned that many physicians are licensed in more than one state, so be sure to ask for all states in which they are licensed, not just their home state, when they register for a meeting, or include it in your contracts.
If an HCP is licensed in a strict state and a less strict state, do you have to report to both?
Will planners be held accountable for data reporting errors?
Either the planner, meeting sponsor, or owner will be held accountable for errors, so make sure that the information you report is accurate.
Is there a technology system that you use to capture specific HCP information?
There are several tools that are commercially available, though many companies have created their own technology to capture this information, and others just use an Excel spreadsheet.
Where does all this data you capture ultimately go?
Some of the data is reported to the states in which the HCP is licensed, and once the Sunshine Act is implemented, data also will have to be reported to that system.
Now that food-and-beverage spending needs to be kept to a "reasonable" cost, how do you define what is reasonable?
Limits for dinners often are in the $100-$125 per-personrange, though each company has to define reasonable for itself. The figure could take into account taxes, gratuities and service charges. Some companies include other costs, such as venue rentals and transportation. Planners should work with their compliance departments to set F&B benchmarks, and include the figures and inclusions in the contract addendum.
Do these regs make it easier or harder to outsource site selection to third parties?
They shouldn't make it harder. In fact, outstanding suppliers are those who understand the regs and are able to use their expertise for their clients' meetings.
Are there any specific rules around international meetings?
It used to be that, at some very large events with attendees from countries that didn't have strict guidelines, affiliates from that country could take their attendees off and do their own thing, but most companies no longer allow that. Now that most countries have their own compliance guidelines, you should follow whichever country has the strictest rules.
We're now having some HCPs asking to opt out of meals at meetings altogether. How would you handle this?
We wouldn't object to it, but we would want to know about it in advance so we could ensure that we could meet the F&B guarantee.
And remember that HCPs may not be spending less money by eating on their own. If they expense the dinner back to your company, it could be a wash, or even more than the original meal at the food function. You need to have expense guidelines and be meticulous about tracking them. You must audit this information and it too must be reported if it is being reimbursed.
How do you set pricing limits when the cost of things is not equal around the country?
You have to set limits in your hotel or venue addenda, and be ready to walk away if the facility can't meet them. You also have to be willing to say you're not going to do meetings in cities that don't have venues that can accommodate your limits.
How long do you need to retain the data you're tracking? Is it ever safe to destroy the records?
You never know when you'll be asked to go back and pull data on specific physicians. For third parties, your clients usually will tell you how long to keep the data. In-house planners should ask their internal legal/compliance departments what the record-retention policy should be.
Do these rules and regs apply to biomedical and device industries, or just to pharma?
While the PhRMA Code is specific to the pharmaceutical industry, the AdvaMed Code sets the guidelines for biomedical and device companies. The main difference between the PhRMA and AdvaMed codes is that the AdvaMed Code has a broader definition of HCP.
While some companies may think they're too small, too new, or somehow don't fall under the rules, Vachon and Duncan strongly advised that all companies get ahead of the game by establishing processes and procedures now. You're better off assuming the rules will apply to you at some point and be proactive, instead of trying to backpedal if you get called on the carpet years from now. While only 12 states have rules governing HCP meetings, Vachon tracks meeting spend for HCPs across the board.

They've dodged relationship rumors for months. But now – unlike their spy characters on The Americans – the secret (love) life of Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys has been revealed.

Matthew Rhys probably wouldn't make as good of a spy as his on-screen counterpart.
While his character manages to keep up a fake identity and two marriages on FX's The Americans, Rhys says it's something he'd never be able to do himself.
"I get anxiety just playing a fictitious part on a drama series," the actor, who plays a KGB spy posing as an American, told reporters during a recent conference call. "When I think of those men who actually live a duplicitous life and have multiple marriages or partners, I don't know how they do it."

"They have been separated since early summer," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. "The separation is amicable and their focus is on their children."
The Americans star, 37, and Deary, a contractor, have two children, son River, 6½, and daughter Willa, 23 months. The couple married on Valentine's Day in 2007.

"The break-in did happen," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. "Everyone is fine, and Keri sends her thanks to the police."
A laptop, jewelry said to be earrings and a purse were taken around 3 a.m. Wednesday, reports the Associated Press. Although asleep at the time, Russell, 37, awoke to hear footsteps and voices in the apartment, then she called 911.

The best news out of Thursday's Emmy Awards nominations is that newlywed Kerry Washington is up for best actress for Scandal.
I was worried that the ABC melodrama – about a beautiful political fixer with conflicted romantic feelings for a handsome, emotionally disturbed president – wouldn't be considered serious enough to merit attention.
Actually, now that I've written that out, I can see why the show might not be considered serious. It's ridiculous. And, in fact, it was shut out of the other top categories. (Although Dan Bucatinsky got a guest-actor nod.)

Robert Batt of Omaha arrived home one evening with wife Janice only to find an uninvited visitor — a bat.
The Batts about drove themselves batty for an hour and a half trying to bat down the bat, but finally gave up and called the Nebraska Humane Society.
Bob, executive vice president of the Nebraska Furniture Mart, asked for help and gave his address and his name, Batt.
As he recounts it, the woman answering the phone thought he was pulling a prank. "Sir," she said, "this line is for serious calls."
He spelled his name, with two t's, and eventually made it clear that it was no joke.
An animal control officer arrived, captured the bat "within all of five minutes" and set it free outside.
"All I know is that I had a bat in my house," said Batt, "and it was not related to me."

Former first lady Laura Bush will speak on Oct. 22 at the CenturyLink Center Omaha for the Phoenix Academy.
The academy is a nonprofit private school, K-8, for students who need "explicit, multisensory, direct instruction in reading and math," said Nancy Liebermann, executive director.
Bush, a former elementary teacher and librarian, was an honorary ambassador of the United Nations Literacy Decade. Proceeds from the luncheon will provide scholarships for the school's students.
Tickets, starting at $100, can be purchased by calling 402-345-5401 or online at www. phoenixacademyomaha.org.
Honored for their work on literacy will be Del Weber, former chancellor of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and John Gottschalk, retired publisher of The World-Herald.

The St. Augustine Indian Mission in Winnebago, Neb., dedicated its $70,000 outdoor classroom Sunday in a sloping, wooded area behind its 107-pupil grade school.
Donors provided funds for the project, which includes a wooden footbridge as well as wood-chip paths leading to areas for music and movement, nature art, discovery, gardening and more. Nature Explore, which collaborates with the Arbor Day Foundation, helped with the design.
Archbishop George Lucas made the trip 80 miles north of Omaha to celebrate Mass and bless the outdoor classroom.
"It's always a blessing to come here," he said after the ceremony. "There's a beautiful openness to the culture of Native Americans."
The Rev. Dave Korth, the mission's director, played the flute and used an eagle feather to waft smoke from burning cedar needles.
The idea for the outdoor classroom, he said, started when Principal Don Blackbird took students on a field trip to the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge and noticed that most of them, like kids everywhere, were listening to music through earphones.
Said Korth: "Our hope is that our kids will embrace education in a deeper level because of this new space."

When Janet Van Dever of Omaha suggested the Big O as the autumn destination for her far-flung friends three years ago, the initial reaction was, "Who wants to go to Omaha, Nebraska?"

The 10 women graduated from high school in 1955 in Keokuk, Iowa, but now are spread across the country — Arizona, California, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania.
For the past 18 years, they have picked places to visit. Over the next three days, they will tour the Durham Museum in the old Union Station as well as the Old Market and other sites. They will do a little shopping and a lot of singing.
"We all have a background in singing," Janet said, "and we love to harmonize."

Unlike Halloween haunted houses, his tours aren't designed to scare you. He talks about people buried in the cemetery. He also will explain the process of cremation.
Howard will literally work a graveyard shift on Oct. 30 and 31, leading evening tours at 5:45, 8 and 10. The cost is $20.

A recent note here about people confusing Omaha and Oklahoma led to several responses, including one from the Rev. Ryan Lewis.
He said the late Pope John Paul II confessed to Archbishop Elden Curtiss in the 1990s that the Indian names from medium-sized archdiocese in the middle of America caused him confusion.
"Considering that his jurisdiction was the entire world," the priest wrote in an email, "It's pretty impressive he knew them enough to get them confused!"
Bob Shreve of Omaha said he traveled for business in the U.S. and Europe and "was constantly introduced as being from Oklahoma." Marcia and Jack Cohen of Omaha said neighbors at their winter home in Sanibel, Fla., often ask, "What's it like in Oklahoma?"

MERIDIAN -- We hear of theft happening around the holidays, but the Boise Police Department is investigating a crime that many are shaking their heads at.
Surveillance photos released Tuesday by BPD could help one Meridian businesswoman; Samantha Simonds get her toy poodle, Dallas, back.
Dallas is not your ordinary poodle; in fact, he has a very distinct marking, one anyone would be sure to notice.
"He is black and he has an orange Mohawk all the way down his body," explained Simonds.
Simonds owns the Paw Spa, a doggie salon on Meridian Road and she says many know her dog Dallas. She says he is almost like a mascot for her business.
"Everywhere I take him people stop me;" she said. "You know he's like a little celebrity."
Friday night, Samantha stopped at the Walmart on Overland to grab a few things for dinner that evening.
She said she was only gone for a short amount of time, but during that time, Dallas was taken from her truck.
"I (came) back out to the truck and I notice there are only three dogs in my cab," she said.
At first, she was confused about whether Dallas jumped out of the back window.
"So I panic, I am running all over the parking lot, I am crying, I am screaming, I am calling for him," she said.
Finally, after searching the parking lot, she went to lost prevention at the Walmart, where an employee confirmed after reviewing the parking lot surveillance video, that two women stole her dog.
"I just couldn't believe that, like that kind of thing just should not happen," she said. "I can't even believe someone would take a dog like that."
According to Wal-Mart policy, Simonds was not allowed to see the video surveillance herself.
However, on Tuesday Boise Police released surveillance photos of the two women seen again the next day at the Wal-Mart in Nampa.
The photos show the women walking around inside the store, with the black and orange striped toy poodle tucked inside a coat.
"Right there she is holding him right there," said Simonds after looking over the photos for the first time, Tuesday.
"Oh it makes me angry, that makes me angry all over again," she said.
Word of the pooch snatching spread fast, thanks to social media and Simonds creating a "Find Dallas Facebook page."
"A day and a half later I have almost 500 followers on there," she tells us.
"According to the stats, I have reached 5,000 people. People are telling me they are talking about it at beauty salons, people I don't even know."
The dog is valued at more than $1,000, which means the two women suspected of taking the dog will face felony charges.
Boise Police hope the surveillance photos can close the case, while Simonds just wants her dog back, no questions asked.
"If everyone in Boise, Nampa, and Meridian is looking for him, there is no place for them to hide him," she said.
Simonds was told, the two women talked to an associate in the Nampa Walmart store where the surveillance photos were taken.
They are seen buying something at the customer service counter, but paid using cash and Simonds fears there is no paper trail to use a lead.
Simonds is also offering a $1,000 reward for his return.

|Regional bank Fifth Third Bancorp 1Q profit dips

CINCINNATI (AP) — Regional bank Fifth Third Bancorp says first-quarter net income dipped 2 percent as it made less from deposits and loans as well as fees and other sources.
The Cincinnati company earned $413 million, or 46 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31. That compares with $421 million, or 45 cents per share, a year ago.
Analysts expected earnings of 39 cents a share.
Earnings from deposits and loans, or net interest income, declined to $893 million from $903 million.
Income from fees and other sources slipped to $743 million from $769 million.
Net charge-offs, or the amount of money lost on bad loans, fell to $133 million from $220 million — the lowest level since 2007's third quarter.

Safari used 100% CPU
I just noticed that when I zoom in or zoom out on a google map Activity Monitor indicates over 100% CPU usage for a considerable amount of time. Even zooming back to a previous level it still does this.
Puzzled I tried the same thing in Firefox which used about 20-30% CPU usage and did so for a considerably shorter period of time.
FF is quicker zooming too.
this is on a core i7 sandy bridge imac with 32GB ram. 10.8.2
What's up with this behaviour?
|Dec 20, 2012, 11:19 PM
Make a new User in User and groups, then login to the new account and see if it is the same there, if it's better there then you have issues with your normal User Account.
|Dec 21, 2012, 04:39 AM
Ok that was a good idea. I already have a spare admin account that I use for testing as I keep my user account as non admin.
Seemed to be better in the other account. Went back to my current account and it still seemed a bit funky but not as bad. I turned off all the extensions and it was better, I turned them all back on and it stayed better. So that is a bit of a confusing result.
Right now it's about the same as FF, except Safari mainly shows the cpu usage in the safari web content rather than the app, as in FF.
So I'm not sure why turning the extensions off then on would make any difference.
What sort of things could cause this in a user account because there's been a bit of strange behaviou for example if I try to log into my bank account it just stays on the connecting page, meanwhile I can log in in FF. It has only just been doing this.
|Dec 21, 2012, 04:54 AM
I am not a fan of extensions but I am on an old Powerbook, if I turn on Extensions Safari becomes sloooowwwww.
There are other things you can do although I don't think it will make a difference, like resetting Safari but then you can/will loose settings.

Mercedes-Benz F-CELL Roadster takes a trip back in time
Article Summary
When studio shots emerged of the Mercedes-Benz F-CELL Roadster design study last month, it wasn't something we were necessarily expecting to see out-and-about. The curious mixture of early automotive design elements and 21st Century technology stretched its legs (at a top speed of 25kmh) by covering a section of the historic route taken by Bertha Benz more than 120 years ago in a Benz Patent Motor Wagon.

Let's be honest. No one would mention it if it weren't brought to everyone's attention by people who spend their time looking into things like this. There aren't too many WW2 vets who spend time on the internet looking for some random picture by a Afghan based Marine Sniper.
My focus is to protect the Marines in what might be an "insensitive" act, but most likely an innocent act. Wiesenthal should spend time with REAL nazi's (all 12 of them) not guys who are killing Muslims. Why get gungho Marines pissed at the wrong enemy?
Ephraim, I agree. I think these Marines should be given a little "sensitivity" talk about what the "SS" symbol represents. Even if they have never met a Jew in their life or have no Jewish friends, at the very least I can't imagine them wanting to continue using the "SS" symbol because they were one of America's mortal enemies during WWII. To make a whole media frenzy out of it, though, is unproductive at the very least and stupid at the very most.
"Study astronomy and physics if you desire to comprehend the relation between the world and G-d's management of it." - RaMBaM (Maimonides), Guide For The Perplexed
Shortly after I first wrote about the flag controversy last week, Beorn got in touch to explain how and why he chose to report the incident to the Marine Corps' inspector general. (Though Beorn contacted military authorities, he didn't play a part in the incident's recent unearthing by the media.) For one, he had learned through military contacts that the use of the SS flag was not an isolated incident. He hoped that exposing it could lead to an important "teachable moment" that might help alleviate what he considers to be a serious issue. In an email interview, he shared with Mother Jones details of how the Marine Corps responded to him and how the Corps has since addressed this moral education issue with the troops. He said he was disappointed with the emerging media narrative that the military had responded poorly. "I was surprised by the speed with which they acted and the seriousness with which they appeared to take it," he wrote.
But he also emphasized: "I think our public needs to realize that this is not a case of the 'liberal media' going after our brave men and women in uniform. Symbols are important. They send messages. These messages are important." He explained his special interest in the SS incident with regard to military training, and what he thought would be the appropriate punishment for the service members in question—especially during wartime. In a follow-up email he wrote: "My focus is on the importance of positive unit cultures, and that the use of this image highlights a problem. For example, I was just informed that a Marine posted on a blog that he had had the tattoo for 17 years, which seems to highlight this point for me."
It will go into their service record and their career is over. The PC police in the military will want to cover their arses and do all they can to make sure a future "watchdog" never questions their response to the horrible implications of Scout Snipers using SS as their moniker.
I just read the piece and the author knew that these were SSnipers.
Oh well, knowing young Marines, you will probably next get pictures of SS with a middle finger salute added.
Is that so??
srry then
I didnt know that about europe
atleast in this part of the world it is considered auspicious and brings good luck
actually the swastika was originally used in the Indus valley civilization by us Hindus,
its just that stupid hitler took it,rotated it counter clockwise,and bam Its the worlds most evil sign

Abstract: Quality control and normalization is considered the most important step in the analysis of microarray data. At present there are various methods available for quality assessments of microarray datasets. However there seems to be no standard visualization routine, which also depicts individual microarray quality. Here we present a convenient method for visualizing the results of standard quality control tests using Circos plots. In these plots various quality measurements are drawn in a circular fashion, thus allowing for visualization of the quality and all outliers of each distinct array within a microarray dataset. The proposed method is intended for use with the Affymetrix Human Genome platform (i.e., GPL 96, GPL570 and GPL571). Circos quality measurement plots are a convenient way for the initial quality estimate of Affymetrix datasets that are stored in publicly available databases.

Comparative Politics Political Economy, Political Culture, and Political InterdependenceAuthor:
Palmer, Monte
Edition: 2
Pub Date: 2000
Publisher: Wadsworth
Summary: This readable introduction to the theory and practice of comparative politics views politics as a complex process involving a broad range of institutional, behavioral, and textual factors. These concepts are used as a basis for analyzing ten countries that will play a dominant role in shaping the world community and that represent a cross-section of diverse regions, economic systems, and levels of development. Each c...hapter reviews the country's history; its major political institutions and the way they influence the policy-making process; the role of elites, parties, groups, and masses; and the broader cultural, economic, and international contexts. Each chapter concludes with a current assessment of the country in terms of the United Nations' definition of good government and a discussion of future challenges. [read more]

Highlanders blow out Huskies
By Tim Chambers
Most of Cloudland's basketball team and its coaching staff were enjoying a pregame meal at Highlander BBQ on Friday afternoon before taking on North Greene. Afterward, they went out and smoked the Huskies to a tune of 72-27 inside of Sonny Smith Gymnasium.
The Huskies (0-7, 12-12) drew first blood and went up 3-0 on a trey by Tanner Collins. From there, Cloudland went on a 14-0 run and the bleeding never stopped.
"That's the type of defensive intensity that we've been looking for," said CHS coach Brandon Carpenter. "They had that look in their eyes before the game and I knew we were ready to play. We were focused and I think that's the effort that we'll get from here on out. When you play that hard you're going to shoot the ball well."
