"Missing and Ignored" Spotlight skips cases of missing minorities By Mark Memmott, USA TODAY Tamika Huston's family reported her missing a year ago this week. usatoday.com Why doesn't the local news stations place all missing people in fine print with a one line description in the middle section of every newspaper or at the bottom middle of every local ezine for people to click on, every month for a week. Basically, a once a month list of who is missing every month - that's posted for an entire week. There are around 40k people missing in the USA, maybe 3 people per day per state. I like the idea some entrepreneurs had where they digitally pushpin bad crime areas. I say make all this stuff public and repeat the info so the pattern or trends are more obvious. I think it would be really neat if CNN had a special link updated daily that reported all of the missing people per day - about 120/day in the USA. 10 graphics across and 12 rows with one line description each: name & street location they went missing. That would create a level of fairness. Additionally, people would be curious to see such a list - when have you ever seen a list of all the people missing on any given day? I bet none of us know which states or which locations have more missing people than others. Regards, Amy J

Rush Limbaugh wants to review medical records before investigators That makes sense. He wants to take out anything incriminating before the investigators see it. ;~) ted

Frist Plagued Again by Comments on Schiavo The Senate majority leader denies that he attempted to diagnose the Florida woman after an autopsy's findings contradict his remarks. By Janet Hook, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON — In the wake of the Terri Schiavo autopsy results, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has come under renewed fire for past statements that questioned her doctors' dire assessment of her medical condition, based on his own review of a videotape. Frist, a surgeon and potential presidential candidate in 2008, on Thursday denied that he had contradicted doctors who had said the brain-damaged Florida woman was in a persistent vegetative state before her feeding tube was removed March 18. She died March 31. "I never made the diagnosis," Frist said to reporters Thursday. "I wouldn't even attempt to make a diagnosis based on a videotape." But Democratic political operatives circulated transcripts of Frist's statements in March that clearly questioned the doctors' diagnosis after he had watched the video footage of Schiavo. "That footage, to me, depicted something very different than persistent vegetative state," Frist said March 17 on the Senate floor. continued.......... The additional finding that she was blind and oblivious to what was happening around her was at odds with Frist's comment in his March 17 remarks in the Senate that "she certainly seems to respond to visual stimuli."
