LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A new survey shows most adults who received Nebraska state behavioral health services last year were satisfied with their treatment.
The state-commissioned report released Monday found that 84 percent were satisfied with the care they received in 2011, compared to 85 percent the previous year.
The survey asked about both mental health and substance abuse services. Results came from more than 1,400 adults.
The public system includes Nebraska’s six behavioral health regions, which offer direct services, and one of the state’s regional centers in Lincoln, which offers general psychiatric services.
DETROIT (AP) – A person briefed on the matter says that Dodge is pulling out of its NASCAR sponsorship at the end of this season.
Chrysler, which owns the Dodge brand, has scheduled a conference call for Tuesday afternoon to announce the withdrawal.
The person did not know the reason for the decision. They did not want to be identified because the company hasn’t made any announcements yet.
Among the four manufacturers in the top racing series, Dodge is now in last place. Chevrolet is in first, followed by Toyota and then Ford.
Dodge’s long-term future in NASCAR had been subject to speculation after its flagship team, Penske Racing, announced it was moving to Ford next season.
ESPN reported on the move earlier Tuesday.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon signed a four-year deal worth about $18.5 million and took part in his first practice at training camp.
Blackmon must have three days of non-contact practice before he’s allowed to put on full pads. Coach Mike Mularkey said after practice Tuesday that Blackmon will not play in the first preseason game Friday against the New York Giants.
Blackmon, the fifth pick in the NFL draft, missed the first 11 days of practice. He was the last of the 32 first-round picks to sign a contract.
Several days before camp opened, Blackmon pleaded guilty to an aggravated DUI charge that occurred in June in Stillwater, Okla.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Oklahoma State center Phillip Jurick has been suspended indefinitely after he pleaded not guilty to charges that he possessed marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Coach Travis Ford announced Tuesday that Jurick will not travel with the Cowboys on their upcoming foreign tour in Spain and that a final decision on his status will be made when more information is obtained.
Jurick was charged Monday with counts of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges Monday, and he was scheduled to appear again in court on Aug. 20.
Jurick played in 27 games and started 16 for Oklahoma State last season before injuries ended his season. The 6-foot-11 center averaged 1.6 points and 4.9 rebounds.

Dear Post,
I have been following the story about the vandalism to the vehicles around town because I unfortunately was a victim to this childish, senseless crime. First off, there has been one mom on here who has a comment and excuse for everything, I think she is pathetic, but that is beside the point. I feel beside myself like everyone else does when it comes to justice for a crime like this. I have spoken to the police station as well as the County attorney. I really do not appreciate the fact that I was shrugged off. I have felt deeply betrayed by the Lincoln County Justice system, because I was told yesterday by the CA that because there were minors involved, more than likely there will be no restitution. She then explained to me that a similar situation happened a couple of years ago where minors were involved and no restitution was ordered. I have over $700.00 in damage to my 2 cars that were tagged by these losers, and what am I supposed to do, suck it up and bite the bullet because the courts need to protect the rights of minors… I do not understand where the victims’ rights are. I feel completely let down, randomly victimized and no justice will come from this for the people of North Platte. You know if this has happened before with no consequences why not set an example of these kids and give some real punishment here. Don’t we have enough trash to clean up in this community, or some sort of community service for these boys to do for the next 10 years… Why should we as victims be the only ones to suffer while the perpetrators get off scott free… What can we do as a town to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again… Why should I have to step up and the courts sit back and do nothing. Very disappointed in how I have been treated by the Courts and County Attorney, she is the voice of the victims and she’s not standing up for the folks in this town… Election will be coming up can we please bring in a new CA, this is about ridiculous…
Thank you for listening, there is so much more to be said and done about this situation where do we begin as victims to see justice being served…
Signed;
Angry without windows

Kris Allen:
North Platte Neb.– The Colorado shooting massacre that took place a mere 18 days ago at an Aurora, Co. movie theater showing taking the lives of 12 and injuring dozens of innocent people has made James Holmes somewhat of a celebrity over the internet.
Holmes has become a celebrity in many forms such as name mentions, his picture seen all over the media, internet memes with tasteless jokes featuring his idiotic face expressions, and by far the worst case is that Holmes has sparked some kind of movement, a disgusting, revolting, and senseless one.
Across the nation suddenly reports are popping up here and there of people who have nothing left, or are just down-right crazy claiming to be the joker, or bringing guns to movie theater showings of The Dark Knight Rises.
Why? That is my question. Why…Did I miss something? Is there a reason for all these lunatics to act out like a childish 3rd grader who’s not getting enough attention? Is it worth life in prison? Is it worth the lives of many innocent people? Does this make you happy? Does this free you of your depressing torment that is causing you to do this?
I do not understand. I feel like I’ve made my point. Maybe they are standing for gun control, or maybe they are just a catalyst for change, but they’re too stupid to even know it.
UNDATED (AP) -Terrell Owens is coming back to the NFL after one year on the sidelines. Owens had a tryout with the Seahawks, who signed the 38-year-old receiver. He hasn’t played in the NFL since 2010. Owens then had surgery on his left knee and didn’t receive any offers to play last season.
UNDATED (AP) – The NFL calls a report it has offered a settlement and reduced suspension to Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma “completely inaccurate.”
Vilma has been suspended for the 2012 season for his role in the Saints bounty program, which he adamantly has claimed did not exist.
Citing anonymous sources, ESPN.com reported the league offered Vilma an eight-game suspension if he would drop his defamation lawsuit against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
UNDATED (AP) – Three-time All Star Evan Longoria is set to return to Tampa Bay’s lineup tonight after being sidelined more three months with a partially torn left hamstring. He was batting .329 with four homers and 19 RBIs in 23 games before being injured on April 30.
