COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Wisconsin's long-range shooting was fantastic.
Yet it still wasn't enough to knock off No. 10 Ohio State on a stellar night for point guard Samantha Prahalis.
Prahalis scored a career-high 34 points and the Buckeyes made the most of an eight-day layoff to beat the Badgers 72-58 on Monday night, their 20th consecutive victory in the series.
First-year Wisconsin coach Bobby Kelsey was pleased with her team's effort but not the bottom line.
"We're not here to lay down and say, 'Oh, well, it's Ohio State. Poor Wisconsin,'" said the former Stanford star. "We're here to compete and win the game. I'm a competitor. I don't like to lose. I said if I had one more year of eligibility I'd get out there and show you what to do. We've got to be more competitive. You want people who are getting after it. I'm not saying they're not, but we want more. I'm always asking for more."
Taylor Wurtz had 20 points, Morgan Paige 14 and Jade Davis 11 for Wisconsin (8-15, 4-7 Big Ten), which hit a school-record 12 3-pointers. The Badgers were 12 of 24 behind the arc, breaking the mark of 11 which they had hit seven times including twice earlier this season.
Kelsey acknowledged she was having difficulty accepting losses, even against one of the elite teams in the conference and the nation.
"Not many people expected us to do anything this year but that's not why I came to Wisconsin," she said. "My expectations are very high for this group. I think that's why we can compete with a team like Ohio State. (The Buckeyes are) very talented. I expect them to go deep in the NCAA tournament."
Even with Prahalis hitting 12 of 18 shots from the field, 4 of 5 behind the arc and all six free throws to go with five assists, two rebounds and four steals, the Buckeyes (21-2, 8-2) had trouble pulling away from the Badgers.
Ohio State coach Jim Foster gave the credit to Kelsey.
"They're getting better," said Foster, in his 34th year as a head coach. "Teams have to make up their minds at this stage of the season that have not had success -- is it worth the investment? Wisconsin obviously thinks it's worth the investment. Illinois feels the same. Young coaches with their teams in tune and playing hard."
Tayler Hill, the Big Ten's leading scorer, added 18 points for the Buckeyes, who broke the game open with a 16-3 second-half run.
A 7-0 run, capped by Ashley Thomas' second straight basket on a driving layup off an assist from Wurtz, cut what had been a 13-point second half deficit to just 49-46 with 12 minutes remaining.
"That's the reason they were came back because they were shooting all these 3s and making them," Prahalis said. "You've got to give credit to them."
But the Buckeyes pulled away.
"There were some positive things -- we were hitting our 3-point shots," said Kelsey.
The Badgers didn't have second-leading scorer Anya Covington (undisclosed illness) for the second game in a row.
"It's difficult in this type of game (to not have her) because we know what she can do," Kelsey said. "We depend on her to score on the block. When you don't have any real block scoring, it makes it hard. But you can't stop playing. The games go on."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 3, 2013
City debuts Quick Tax online tax portal on June 10
The City of Kansas City, Mo., will launch a new online revenue portal on Monday, June 10 that will allow residents and businesses to pay their taxes electronically. Called Quick Tax, this portal will streamline the online tax process and offer taxpayers more options than previously available.
The Quick Tax Web portal will support the essential functions of tax administration and compliance for the earnings tax, business license tax, utility taxes, convention and tourism taxes, and the arena fee. Other taxes, including special assessments, will be incorporated in 2014.
Quick Tax will also offer many other new options. For example, taxpayers not having taxes withheld may make estimated tax payments throughout the year. It will also allow residents to control account access for their tax preparers.
Taxpayers who wish to use Quick Tax must first register online at www.kcmo.org beginning June 10. Registration will require basic information, such as the taxpayer's federal identification or social security number, mailing address and three forms of identification for verification purposes. Once registered, taxpayers can log in to their secure personal account to view information about previous filings and payments (from rollout forward), refund statuses, bills and filing requirements.
Please note that during the cutover period, there may be some service delivery delays for new business licenses, business license refunds and tax clearances.

(HealthDay News) -- Many Fourth of July fireworks-related injuries could be prevented with some common sense, according to experts who advise people to avoid using fireworks at home -- even if they're legal.
"There's no such thing as completely safe fireworks," Dr. Andrew Sama, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians, said in an ACEP news release. "A few minutes of well-intentioned fun can result in lifelong disabilities."
Every Independence Day, an average of about 200 people end up in the emergency room with fireworks-related injuries, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Most of these injuries are burns and nearly half of these incidents involve people's hands and fingers. The CPSC notes that 34 percent of fireworks-related injuries affect people's eyes, head, face and ears.
Although sparklers may seem safe, they carry hazards as well. A sparkler can burn at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is as hot as a blowtorch, according to the release.
The ACEP recommended the following fireworks Dos and Don'ts to ensure people's safety this year:
"The safest and only thing you should do is watch a professional fireworks display managed by experts who have proper training and experience handling these explosives," Sama recommended. "Have fun and enjoy this great American holiday. As always, we'll be ready to treat you, but we don't want to have to see you in the ER."

By Fox 2 News StaffPhoto Credit: Journal of the American Medical AssociationMedical residents get precious little time to sleep, if any. However, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found they were sharper mentally when they got more sleep.Researchers studied two groups of interns. One worked normally and the other participated in periods of "protected sleep" where they were without their phones and pagers."The average amounts that interns slept increased by about 50 percent in the months in which interns had a protected sleep period from about two hours a night to about three hours a night," says University of Pennsylvania researcher Dr. Kevin Volpp."They slept earlier, longer and less disturbed. We didn't completely give them a full night's sleep, but even the three hours, the 50 percent more sleep they got, was beneficial," says Dr. David Dinges, another researcher with the University of Pennsylvania."People had higher cognitive performance on the mornings following having protected sleep periods," Volpp says.The study found no differences in mortality and readmission rates among patients.Source: Journal of the American Medical Association

When I spoke with Cecil this afternoon he and Bill Hudson were planning on rolling into Zagray around 5:30PM.
Supposed to get down to the low 30's tonight with frost in the normally colder regions of CT. Forecast for Friday is high around 70 with clear skies.
With several of us leaving after the picnic Saturday night I'm thinking that we will have the campfire Friday night.
Still have plans to be there around 4 or 5.
Enjoy the quiet day of the show.

The exchange rate change might make grey imports cheaper. To counter this, you might see more rebates and special offers rather than official price cuts.
When you see B&H and Adorama start to offer significant pricing alternatives through grey channels, then you'll see some rebates from CUSA that "just coincidentally" almost perfectly offset those pricing advantages. This has been the marketing scenario for a very long time. CUSA also will configure those rebates on what is actually available, what is popular, what is actually selling, and... what they have in their own inventories. There's nothing new to this at all.

Mad scientist Dr. Halsey steals the show as Halo 4's Spartan Ops nears the home stretch
Halo 4's Spartan Ops took a short hiatus over the holiday season, returning with a revitalized structure and explosive story that renewed our excitement for the episodic series. The spiritual successor to Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach's Firefight mode is still much improved over its first half, and is getting oh-so close to something truly spectacular.
Oh, the places you won't go
The Infinity comes under attack from Covenant and Promethean forces in episode seven. This means your fire team – Crimson – is pulled back to help repel the invasion. The first mission starts off well, having you spawn in right in the middle of a previous mission which was interrupted by Infinity's distress call.
You and your team have to fall back and make your way to a landing zone, holding it against an onslaught of both Covenant and Promethean ground troops, as well as a Phantom. It's extremely tense and while previous Spartan Ops missions had little to no penalties, this mission can be failed. If your ride takes too much damage before you clear out the enemies, game over.
The risk of failure feels real. The mission can be very, very hard to pull off if you're not coordinated, but that sense of danger makes your victory feel earned.
Once you're on Infinity however, things begin to turn sour. You have to clear out invading Covenant forces from the hangar, then the server room, and back to the hangar in mission 2. In mission 3, you go from hangar to server room to engine room. You spend the entirety of mission 4 within the engine room or its wings. Mission 5 has you backtrack through the entire ship, from engine room wing to server room, to hangar.
To put it short: we went from having five new maps – four of which were unique to Spartan Ops – in episode 6, to two maps in episode 7, one of which was re-used four times. It makes a kind of logical sense that you'd have to sweep through the ship in such a way, but it also feels like padding. Episode 8 doesn't fare much better, as only one of its missions takes place on a different map than episode 6.
Spartan Ops likely hasn't had the time, team, or budget to create unique maps for every set of missions, but it's still disheartening to see this much repetition.
Don't trust the super-soldier-making scientist
Thankfully, Spartan Ops has nailed its narrative. The CG intros to each episode are more and more engaging, with significant plot twists and character revelations.
Episode 7 begins with Dr. Catherine Halsey breaking out of her cell using her wits and manipulation. She tricks Roland, the Infinity's AI, into saying an override phrase, which she then uses to gain access to Infinity's communication system. She strikes up a conversation with Jul'Mdama, leader of the Covenant forces on Requiem, before she's interrupted by Captain Lasky.
Lasky has armed guards escort her out of comms, threatens that he's "underestimated her long enough," and is going to place her in cryo. Halsey slaps him. She is a bold, proud figure, and it's still just as difficult as ever to pin her motives down. Halsey steals the show when she's allowed to developer as a character.
The rest of the cast is being suitably developed as well; Lasky is given some troubling orders in episode 8, and Fire Team Majestic has an entertaining back-and-forth when they loot an enemy Elite. Even Sarah Palmer has stopped saying "egg heads," thank god.
Spartan Ops is still interesting, if a bit repetitive, in its missions, largely thanks to the vastly improved map design which allows for vehicles and more moments of sandbox play. The plot has picked up to the point where players should be anticipating the finale, which is key for an episodic series. Things are looking up.

Indianapolis —
The Class 3A No. 13 Western Boone Stars entered Tuesday's regional against No. 3 Bishop Chatard looking for revenge from last season when the Trojans ended the Stars' season.
Unfortunately for WeBo, Chatard had other ideas. The Trojans topped Western Boone 3-0 (25-13, 25-21, 25-23) to end the Stars' season for the second-straight year.
"I thought the biggest difference from how we usually play is that we could not hold our serve," Western Boone head coach Laura Lawson said. "Chatard is an amazing, fast-tempo team and I will use that to where we want our girls to be next year when we are a senior-heavy team just like them."
One of the adjustments the Stars had to have was evident early in the first game.
The Chatard gym was one of the smallest Western Boone played in all year. The ceiling was in play for numerous points, creating a challenge Western Boone wasn't used to.
"Maybe that is why they play such a fast-tempo — because they can't hit balls up there," Lawson joked. "That is just another thing we had to adjust too and it is always something."
Chatard jumped out to a 5-0 lead in game one and never looked back.
The Stars got as close as three at 6-3, but the Trojans gradually pulled away as the match went on.

The Tulsa Drillers show they still have a pretty good bite after losing seven of their last eight games. Wednesday night Tulsa beat Frisco 5-2 on Bark in the Park night at ONEOK Field.
The Drillers got on the board in the fourth when Kent Matthes singles on a line drive to left fielder scoring Nolan Arenado. Tulsa led 1-0.
Then they open it up in the fifth inning. The Drillers score four runs highlighted by Angelys Nina triples to center field.
Lars Davis, Michael Mitchell and Josh Rutledge
The Roughriders runs in the seventh and eighth, but the Drillers hold on to win this home stand 5-2.
Same two teams Friday night at 7:05.

Sandberg to women: 'aim high, believe in yourselves'

I agree that the we should be talking, and listening, to each other. But in my experience, on this subject, females want to do all of the talking and none of the listening. It would please me to be proved wrong here; let's see. Here are some conservative ideas to start the conversation:
(1) Males and females differ in ways that are significant, due both to nature and to nurture. This is due to gender specialization that is the result of an evolutionary choice to exploit a design in which males and females complement one another in male-female couples. This "architecture" is optimal and is not going to change; it is a given.
(2) Because of (1), strongly typed gender roles are optimal. Gender roles are the result of, not the cause of, the differences.
(3) In the developed world, the corporate work environment has become unisexed as the result of government meddling. Within that environment, many roles can be done equally well by males and by females. But the appearance within such environments that males and females are interchangeable and that gender is not an important predictor of success in a particular role is misleading; it is an artifact of the meddling. Outside of these meddled (and muddled) environments, equilibrium results in strongly gender typed work roles, i.e. "man's work" and "women's work".
(4) Even when the work role is such that a female and a male might be equally situated for success, in terms of basic abilities such as intelligence, "people skill", and greed, males and females differ in important ways. It's often more about whether she WOULD than whether she COULD.
(5) Because of the above, I am convinced that gender stereotypes are here to stay because (a) gender roles are needed and (2) gender roles reflect underlying immutable differences. Liberty and justice and economic empowerment for females is a real issue and deserves real attention and lasting progress. IMO, the path to lasting progress is to promote unselfishness, i.e. to work for a moral transformation. Rather than destroy strongly typed gender roles that have withstood the test of time over millions of generations, we should focus on making them work.
Here are two signs that I have used to concisely express my views on gender and sexuality:
Thank you for reading all of this. Let's focus here on listening to each other. No ad hominem attacks, please. Both viewpoints on this issue are reasonable, and people who are intelligent and share the same basic values of liberty and justice for all (including females) can disagree.
on Apr 4, 2013 at 8:38 am
"...and people who are intelligent and share the same basic values of liberty and justice for all (including females) can disagree."
The "including females" portion speaks volumes about the mentality of the above poster.
on Apr 4, 2013 at 1:44 pm
Correct me if I'm wrong here, Wo'O, but it seems to me that you constantly call for people to listen to one another and to share their honest opinions in this forum, which might be described as a marketplace of ideas.
Yet, when people express that they disagree your views on gender norms, you seem to always respond by saying that their views are wrong. And if even more people come out in support of views contrary to what you hold true, you chalk it up to the "tyranny of the majority."
If you are a libertarian, as you have said you are, I feel you ought to be willing to accept that when the people participating in a given market overwhelmingly support one type of product, or viewpoint, over another, then that product or viewpoint has won -- fair and square.
Food for thought...

Today is Wednesday, March 6, the 65th day of 2013. There are 300 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 6, 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calming panicked depositors went into effect. (The holiday was supposed to last four days, but was extended until it was gradually lifted starting March 13.)
On this date:
- In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege.
- In 1853, Verdi's opera "La Traviata" premiered in Venice, Italy.
- In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and could not sue for his freedom in federal court.
- In 1912, Oreo sandwich cookies were first introduced by the National Biscuit Co.
- In 1933, Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, wounded in an attempt on then-President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's life the previous month, died at a Miami hospital at age 59.
- In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II.
- In 1953, Georgy Malenkov was named premier of the Soviet Union a day after the death of Josef Stalin.
- In 1967, the daughter of Josef Stalin, Svetlana Alliluyeva (ah-lee-loo-YAY'-vah), appeared at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and declared her intention to defect to the West.
- In 1970, a bomb being built inside a Greenwich Village townhouse by the radical Weathermen accidentally went off, destroying the house and killing three group members.
- In 1973, Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, 80, died in Danby, Vt.
- In 1983, in a case that drew much notoriety, a woman was gang-raped atop a pool table in a tavern in New Bedford, Mass., called Big Dan's; four men were later convicted of the attack.
- In 1988, the board of trustees at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., a liberal arts college for the deaf, selected Elisabeth Zinser, a hearing woman, to be school president. (Outraged students shut down the campus, forcing selection of a deaf president, I. King Jordan, instead.)

I've suggested before, and will again now, that we should set up a trading network on here. Where we trade fights through the mail on DVDS.
That eliminates the problems of downloading and having files deleted.
You would have to basically be trusting that the other person is going to send your fights, but if we could set up a private subforum in here for that, we could keep a running list of anyone who abuses the trust, by either A. ripping someone off and not sending the fights after RECEIVING the fights, or B. trying to get someone to PAY for fights.
This should be done for the love of the sport and spreading as much good fights as possible. Not to make a buck or to "cover shipping and handling" or some shit.
And you could always chip in a buck or two and get the confirmation delivery thing where the other person has to sign for the package so you know for a fact they received it and they can't say "oh I never got it, it musta gotten lost, I'm not sending my stuff out til I get it" ya know?

Yeah I have it, but on VHS at the moment. I'm going through the process of putting all my VHS onto DVD, maybe I will have a chance to upload it, but no promises.
I'm interested in this topic and uploading and downloading some fights with people, but this will turn into a thread with a bunch of leechers.

I have done it a couple of times, but didn't think it was worth the effort. Nobody seemed interested, and nobody uploads their own fights. I just don't want to upload fights if I am the only one doing it.

Definitely interested.
Actually, I was thinking about creating a database that tracks a bunch of fights that are available for download. Would anyone be interested in having a resource that stores that information all in one place?
Real good idea..I'd like to be able to find a place with a lot of rare fights..

A lot of people would, but it requires work from everyone. Unfortunately, we have people that just want to download the fights, lol.
JLuv, one way you can copy your VHS tapes is if you decide to buy a DVD or Blu Ray recorder. You connect your recorder and VHS together. Kind of like you did in the old days (not sure if you did) when connecting 2 VHS players together and recording from one another. You can play movies through your VHS and record the playing image to your DVD recorder. From then on, you can burn them to disc, and then from the DVD disc, you can copy files onto a hard drive for backup. Obviously the picture won't be great when recording from VHS, but it's something.

Early morning fire causes thousands of dollars in damages to homes
Published On: Feb 09 2013 04:40:15 PM CST
An early morning fire caused $20,000 in damages to property, according to the Abilene Fire Department.
The call came in to the fire department at 3:45 a.m. Saturday morning.
The Abilene Fire Department said they believe the fire started in the engine of a truck parked in the carport of a home in the 800 block of Nelson Drive.
They said the fire was so intense that it destroyed the siding of a neighboring house and an RV parked in the backyard.
Two people were inside the RV and two people were inside the home at the time of the fire.
All four were able to get out safely.
The fire is still under investigation.

Fighters are known for their brawn, not their brains, and tonight at the XCel Center in Minnesota Rick Rypien made reinforced the old axiom. Vancouver was trailing Minnesota 5-1 in the second period when Rypien tried to "energize his team" as the announcers say, and picked a fight with Brad Staubitz. Nathan Eide from Hockey Wilderness explains the rest:
...after being pulled off of Brad Staubitz in a pathetic attempt to motivate the Vancouver Canucks, tussled with linesman Don Henderson, initiating contact, then jumping at a fan in the stands who was sarcastically clapping at him.
Video of the incident courtesy of Nathan at Hockey Wilderness:
It looks as if though Rypien engaged with a minor, or possibly a slightly-built person, but reports are that it was a minor and the family was moved to a suite in the building.
Rypien was given a misconduct, not a game misconduct, even with the referee contact. It's all but assured that Rypien will be forced to go before Colin Campbell before the end of the week, and Twitter and message boards are already speculating as to Rypien's punishment. Comparisons to Ron Artest's 73-game suspension for starting a brawl in the stands in Detroit have been made and Canucks fans are split between applauding Rypien's actions and wondering if he'll even be allowed on the plane back to Vancouver.

Sal Albanese, 63, Democratic mayoral candidate and former, five-term New York City councilman, visited the set of Good Day NY on Monday to talk about his campaign.
Albanese left the city council in 1998.
"I've been in the legal field and I've been a financial services professional in the private sector for the past 15 years," said Albanese.
Albanese, who came to the United States at the age of 8, ran for mayor in 1997 and finished third in the Democratic primary. His loss was all about money, said Albanese.
"The matching system is 6 to 1; in 1997 it was 2 to 1. I didn't raise enough money. I don't take money from developers, lobbyists and people who do business with the city. I raise money from average New Yorkers," said Albanese.
Albanese said his background as an immigrant, his law degree and his experience as a teacher in the New York City public schools, make him the best candidate.

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) _ Bob Baffert was so bummed after Misremembered finished second for the third consecutive time in his last start, he decided to shake things up.
The Hall of Fame trainer switched jockeys and gave different riding instructions for Saturday's $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap.
Misremembered won by a half-length over fast-closing Neko Bay, putting a smile on Baffert's face as he walked into the winner's circle. He also bred the horse, which is co-owned by his wife, Jill, along with George and Lynn Jacobs.
Baffert switched from Victor Espinoza, who had ridden Misremembered in his last nine races, to Martin Garcia.
Misremembered ran 1¼ miles in 2:00.20, the 4-year-old horse's first victory at the distance. He paid $10.80, $6 and $4.40 at 4-1 odds.
"Last time I was so disappointed, and I told Victor, `You just got to let him roll. He's got one speed. He's a long-striding horse,'" Baffert said. "So we let him do it. When he was out there, he didn't chase after that speed horse. He really dug in."
Garcia had worked Misremembered during morning training hours, and Baffert has been winning races with him at a 27-percent clip lately.
"I feel amazing, man!" Garcia said. "This is the first time I rode in the Big 'Cap and I had the opportunity to make it to the winner's circle. Bob told me to give him a clear break and just not fight him. When my horse got to the lead, I knew I still had a lot of horse."
Neko Bay returned $7.80 and $6, while Dakota Phone and Espinoza were another 2¼ lengths back in third and paid $10.40 to show.
"I got to the other horse (Misremembered), but he dug in," said Mike Smith, Neko Bay's jockey. "If you give me a few more jumps, I get him. But the winner dug in tough."
Jeranimo was fourth in the 14-horse field.
St Trinians finished sixth as the 3-1 wagering favorite who was attempting to become the first filly or mare to win the Big 'Cap in its 73-year history.
"She had a tough time, but I give her credit," her jockey Joel Rosario said. "The other horses were coming in on her. She was never comfortable in there. She was between horses much of the time and we got too far back. She moved a little bit after that, but it was just too much to make up."
Jill Baffert kissed Misremembered on the nose as he was led into the winner's circle, a trip worth $450,000. The couple's son, 5-year-old Bode, cradled the silver trophy for the photo and, with some prompting by his mother, chirped into a TV microphone.
Earlier Saturday, Baffert saddled a pair of 3-year-old colts, The Program and Marcello, in the $150,000 Sham Stakes. The Program finished third and Marcello was sixth.
Alphie's Bet won the prep for next month's $750,000 Santa Anita Derby by 2¼ lengths over Setsuko.
In the $250,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile, Proviso defeated Fluke by a nose in a photo finish between horses previously trained by the late Bobby Frankel, who died of cancer in November.
The 5-year-old mare became the first female to win the race in its 51st running.
Proviso is now trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, while Fluke has remained with Humberto Ascanio, Frankel's longtime assistant in Southern California.
"Billy told me, 'You've got to get her to relax if you can. Anything you do could set her off,'" Smith said. "She beat a great bunch of boys here today. I thought I won it and I pumped my fist just to sell it (to the placing judges)."
Crisp won the $250,000 Santa Anita Oaks for 3-year-old fillies by a neck over All Due Respect. Blind Luck, the 1-2 wagering favorite, was another neck back in third after rallying from seventh.
"We got beat the whole way," said Jerry Hollendorfer, trainer of Blind Luck, who was seeking her third consecutive Grade 1 victory.
The filly was the 4-1 favorite at the conclusion of Friday's Kentucky Oaks future wagering.
Ridden by Joel Rosario, Crisp ran 1 1-16 miles in 1:43.50 and paid $13.60 to win. She ran with blinkers, and Rosario said they made her more focused.
Trainer John Sadler plans to bring Crisp to the Derby-eve Oaks.
"She's got good stamina and can run a big distance," he said.

Bipolar Disorder Prevention
Nothing is known to prevent bipolar disorder. It is best to avoid drugs that may trigger the disease (such as cocaine or methamphetamine). Adopting a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep and exercise may help.
Relapses can be prevented or made less severe by following the treatment recommendations of your health care professionals. This includes taking medication as directed and attending counseling sessions.
Bipolar Disorder Prognosis
Bipolar disorder is a long-term condition with no actual cure, only ways to control the symptoms.
With treatment, many people are able to lead normal lives. Some (about one in 10) may never have another manic episode.
People with bipolar disorder and their families and friends can learn to pay attention to signs and symptoms of the depression or mania emerging and have their medications adjusted to prevent a relapse of the low or high. Through education and support, they can be able to monitor themselves.
Others battle mood swings for the rest of their lives. With proper medication and regular psychotherapy, however, the disease can be well controlled with few flare-ups.
If untreated, bipolar disorder may lead to risky activities, dysfunction in family and work, and even suicide or homicide.
Support Groups and Counseling
It can be quite helpful to talk to other people who have dealt with or are dealing with manic depression. Family members can also benefit from support groups because they can share tips on coping that have worked for them. The following is a list of resources and support groups:
Befrienders International
Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation
Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA)
Depression and Related Affective Disorders Association (DRADA)
Mood Challenge Support Group
Mood Disorders Support Group, Inc.
National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression
National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)

Ken Kendrick: D-backs will continue to invest money in payroll
Originally published: Feb 15, 2013 - 12:53 pm
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a busy offseason, in which they made a couple blockbuster deals that reshaped their roster.
The D-backs traded two of their cornerstone players in Chris Young and Justin Upton while also saying farewell to one of their top prospects, Trevor Bauer.
But don't be fooled. This is a ballclub that remains committed to adding talent, not subtracting it.
D-backs Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick said the team realizes it has to continue to invest money in the payroll to stay competitive with their division rivals.
"It's always about how you play but it is about the opponent and so we've once again determined that we need to invest more," Kendrick told reporters after a team meeting at Salt River Fields Friday. "We're going to continue to do that and hopefully we've invested in the right players."
The D-backs' key offseason acquisitions include shortshop Cliff Pennington, veteran reliever Heath Bell, shortstop Didi Gregorious, outfielder Cody Ross, third baseman Martin Prado and a flurry of prospects from the Atlanta Braves in the Upton deal.
The club also made a conscious effort to bring in veterans like Eric Chavez and Eric Hinske, who have been a part of winning franchises over the years.
Kendrick said the D-backs expect their revamped and experienced roster to perform at a high level.
"We focused on putting a team together that we thought was principally built to win and we have a lot of guys that have had a tradition of winning and not only here but in other places and so we have high expectations for them," he explained.
The D-backs will need to make good on their expectations if they hope to contend in one of the most competitive divisions in baseball, as the NL West houses the Dodgers, with their $200-plus million payroll, and the defending World Series Champion Giants.
And if the roster isn't good enough right now, team officials have the funds to make more moves to improve it.
"We don't see our finances as an issue," Kendrick said. "We don't have unlimited resources but we have a lot more resources to apply to the major league payroll and frankly across the board with other areas in the player side than we've have in the entire history of my stewardship."

Hospital's children's unit remains shut
Updated 2:41pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in News By Gaynor Clarke, Reporter
FAIRFIELD General Hospital in Bury will keep its children's observation and assessment unit closed until the end of this month.
The centre has been shut to in-patients since mid-December, due to the transfer of several children's nurses to help in the children's units at North Manchester General and Royal Oldham hospitals.
It has meant that children going to Fairfield who need to be admitted have been cared for at North Manchester or Oldham.
A paediatric doctor is still based in Fairfield's accident and emergency department to treat sick children between 9am and 11pm, when the assessment unit would normally operate.
The situation is expected to be reviewed at the end of the month.

Sometimes with the Patriots, it's the same story, just with a different group of players.
This team has been no stranger to the injury bug the past two seasons, having finished 14-2 last year with multiple starters on injured reserve.
A Week Five win over the Jets this season without the likes of Jerod Mayo and Josh Barrett showed Bill Belichick's ability to plug in reserves and still get positive results.
Only five Patriots defensive starters in their 38-20 Week 12 win over the Eagles were in the starting lineup in Week One: Vince Wilfork, Andre Carter, Jerod Mayo, Gary Guyton and Rob Ninkovich. Not a single defensive back who started opening day was active on Sunday.
Thanks to improved play at cornerback and the use of LB Tracy White and WR Julian Edelman in the middle of the defense, the Pats again found a way to win with a patched-up defensive unit.
The PFW Spin
White is a special-teams ace. There's a reason he played in two snaps on defense all of the 2010 season (all snap counts via ESPN Boston), as illustrated late in Week 10 when he was victimized by TE Jake Ballard.
On Sunday, with the Patriots' linebacking corps hampered by injuries, White played in 64 snaps. White remained in his role on special teams and finished the game with four tackles.
Edelman is proving to be more than just a quirk. He was in on 16 snaps and recorded three tackles. He also crushed Vince Young on a blitz, helping force an incompletion. As PFW colleague Eric Edholm pointed out in "Shorts and Shells," Edelman kept DeSean Jackson from getting open near the goal line. Edelman and White, with their speed, helped keep an Eagles offense that likes to use the middle of the field with a scrambling quarterback and RB LeSean McCoy, in check.
CBs Antwaun Molden and Kyle Arrington lived up to the challenge of the Eagles' receivers, with Molden picking off a pass and Arrington leading the team with 10 tackles and two passes defensed.
The makeshift defense obviously got a huge boost when its offense put up 38 unanswered points. PFW's Christian West was at the game and pointed out how dynamic the offense looked, with Tom Brady connecting with his wide receivers often for big plays when he had been relying on TE Rob Gronkowski in the past few games. When the Patriots decided to ground and pound earlier in the game, they did so successfully to set up running the no-huddle, spread attack to start the second half.
What this stretch is doing for the defense is improving the unit's depth by allowing reserves to get significant playing time. When Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung and Brandon Spikes return, the unit will be even better.
Like they did in 2010, the Patriots are looking at another eight-game win streak to end the season, as long as they take care of business. They should be at full strength on defense come playoff time, which should strike fear into the rest of the AFC considering how the backups have been performing during the current three-game winning streak.
