Mood Stabilizers: An Updated
List and Links
(Last update 1/2009; small addition, not fully revised, 12/2013)
Below you will find a list of the medications currently referred to as "mood stabilizers". (If you care about which are FDA approved for this use, read the explanation of what "approval" means. Here are some thoughts on what ought to be called a "mood stabilizer").
Pregnancy reminder/warning: with the probable exception of fish oil and low-dose thyroid, none of these options is known for certain to be safe during pregnancy. The strategy for women wanting to become pregnant is very complicated and requires a knowledgeable psychiatrist. Therefore: any woman taking any of the medications below should have a very reliable plan for avoiding pregnancy (you know how that works, I'm sure you do...Oh, I suppose I could add the old adage: "if in doubt, ask your doctor").
You can click links in the first table below for details about each one (or you can walk you through how the main medications are used and how we choose between them, in the Treatment section of this website). If you'd like to see them listed by how you might choose, based on your needs, see the second table. If you'd like a comparison of all of them, try the third table.
This list is updated frequently. To make sure this information matches current expert consensus, you can compare this list to the recently updated expert consensus guidelines. For a comparison view of all these medications from another psychiatrist, though in more technical lingo, see the excellent site by Dr. Peter Brigham.
The "randomized trials", in the first table coming up next, mean research studies with a "control group", a group that got another medication or a placebo while a similar group got the medication in question. A "positive trial" means that the medication performed as well or better than a comparison medication or placebo; whereas a "negative trial" means placebo was as good as the medication. An "open" trial means that patients and doctors both knew what medication was being added and when, and that there was no placebo group with which to compare results. (Here's more on why randomized trials are our best evidence source, from an essay on panic treatments.)

How do I choose?
Gets pretty confusing, doesn't it? It used to be simpler, just lithium and divalproex, maybe carbamazepine if those didn't work. Now we have all these choices.
However, for Bipolar II, one option really stands out, in my view: lamotrigine (Lamictal). Until 2008, I could not state this strongly because I was using the manufacturer's money to support my talks about bipolar disorder (see Funding). I had to hold back lest I seem biased by their money. But lamotrigine is now generic, and their marketing efforts are largely over. Since I will not be taking any money from GlaxoSmithKline (haven't since 2008), I can finally speak with my full enthusiasm about lamotrigine.
Think about it: in Bipolar II, the main problem is repeated episodes of depression. That is precisely what lamotrigine is best at treating. Secondly, lamotrigine does not cause weight gain. Nearly all of the other options can cause very significant weight gain. The weight issue alone propels lamotrigine to the very top of the list, as long as no anti-manic component is crucial (because it does not protect against manic symptoms, except indirectly, by preventing cycling. The anti-cycling effect can be enough, fortunately, for many people). Third, lamotrigine causes no side effects at all in the vast majority of people who take it (there are always a few who will get something, headache or hair loss perhaps). Fourth, to our knowledge at present, there are no major long-term risks of staying on lamotrigine for years. It has been used for nearly 15 years as an anti-seizure medication, so we have a pretty solid basis for concluding that long-term use is relatively safe. Only a few other mood stabilizer options have this many years of observation, and each of them has recognized long-term problems. taken together, all of these factors make lamotrigine the obvious best choice amongst mood stabilizers -- as long as you do not need an anti-manic component.
Yet some people will not respond to lamotrigine, and about one in 20-30 people will actually get worse on it. (Worse? yes, in my experience, and that of numerous other psychiatrists who have used a lot of lamotrigine; the worsening is an increase in anxiety, irritability, or sleep problems, as though a lamotrigine was acting too much like an antidepressant. This reaction is one of the reasons why I try not to use lamotrigine when an antidepressant is already in use: lamotrigine is such a fantastic option, especially compared to the rest, I don't want to take any risk at all that it will be poorly tolerated. If things seem to be getting worse, is that lamotrigine, or might it be the antidepressant causing that? I try to avoid this situation). So, many people will have to consider or move on to other mood stabilizer options. How to choose among these?
The table below presents another way to view this choice, followed by a more detailed discussion of each option. Please understand that these are only suggestions based on the literature and experience with patients, not "guidelines" for choosing.
|Why you might choose it
|omega-3 fatty acids/
fish oil
|atypical (2nd generation)
|Low-dose boosters for specific problems (as
add-ons to "real" mood stabilizers?)
Where to start: lithium? valproate? lamotrigine? oxcarbazepine? quetiapine?
Here's a more wordy, more referenced version of the table you just read.
Lithium has a clear track record of reducing the risk of suicide, which can be as high as 10% in bipolar disorder (Update Sept. 2003: this suicide reduction by lithium was just shown superior to valproate by a large margin in one large studyGoodwin, JAMA). But valproate has a slight edge in treating "mixed state" symptoms and rapid cycling.Bowden You should start by educating yourself about the benefits and risks of each (use links from first table above). Ending up on low doses of each is very common. Lithium has long been "first line" for the treatment of bipolar disorder.Frances
Lithium is even effective as an "add-on" medication in unipolar and "treatment resistant" depression, so can be a good approach when a bipolar component is not crystal clear. Lamotrigine has been stunningly effective, in my experience, for patients whose mood problems look like "highly recurrent unipolar" or "recurrent depression with just a hint of or rare hypomanic phases" -- that is, where depression is by far the more predominant problem.
On the other hand, if sleep problems and anxiety are prominent, valproate (Depakote) may be a better starting place: it almost always helps at least a little with insomnia, even at the low doses discussed here (unless you are on an antidepressant). We have a great deal of experience with it, and we know what problems to anticipate; and we know from years of experience that it works, especially when irritability and lability (changeable, brittle moods) are present, or when anxiety is prominent. But it now seems clear that Depakote can cause a hormone problem called polycystic ovarian syndrome in women of reproductive age (here are those PCOS data), so I generally use it only in men and post-menopausal women.
Trileptal caught everyone's attention when it became available in the United States (after nearly 10 years in Europe). Because carbamazepine can be so tricky to use because of side effects (risks as well as nuisance symptoms), Trileptal looked really good at first. It has less risk than carbamazepine and fewer side effects initially (more though, later, in my experience). Trileptal is somewhat similar to carbamazepine in terms of those who it helps, though there is concern that it just doesn't have as much "punch", i.e. that is is not as fully effective. Every time I revise this I have fewer patients on Trileptal alone. I think it might be zero, or very close, now.
Finally, olanzapine (Zyprexa) has been shown to be a very effective mood stabilizer.Tohen But it causes dramatic weight gain in a very large number of people who take it, and there is near certainty now [as of this April 2005 revision] that is can cause diabetes in some cases even without extreme weight gain. Gianfrancesco, Caro, Hedenmalm However, for short term almost immediate control of severe symptoms, this is an outstanding medication: people can feel benefit within an hour, and other than weight gain, there appear to be very few short-term risks with this medication. Long-term is a different story.
So, the bottom line here is: learn about your options and work closely with your doctor making the choice among them (here's that essay on how to talk to your doctor again).
Which one is the best?
For one more way to look at all these options, here are the same medications listed by their specific advantages. Some of these advantages might be more important to one person than another. There really is no "best one". Over time, you might end up taking several of them, one at a time or together.
Warning -- the following table is subjective in some places, based on my personal experience: see the notes below. For simplicity, only significant benefits are listed (negatives are even more subjective and are not ranked, just left as blanks). Sorry about all the notes. Somebody was going to ask or raise a fuss otherwise. Here's the key:
|Li+, lithium.
|VPA, valproate/divalproex (Depakote)
|CBZ, carbamazepine (Tegretol)
|LTG, lamotrigine (Lamictal)
|OLZ, olanzapine (Zyprexa)
|OXC, oxcarbazepine (Trileptal)
|O-3, omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil)
|QTP, quetiapine (Seroquel)
|ARIP, aripiprazole ("Abilify" -- too cute)
And the table:
|Many years of experience using medication
|Antidepressant effects
|Few short-term side effects1
|Few long-term risks2
|Weight "neutral", not gain
Low cost
|co-pay often very high
|Fast anti-manic
|( risperidone)
|Safety in pregnancy3
Breastfeeding okay (others)
1. This is based on my experience using these medications. It is nearly impossible to compare these medications directly in an objective way. Low dose lithium would merit a " + " on this scale; high dose lithium is probably the worst on this list for short-term side effects, setting the standard by which to judge the rest. Clozapine would be similar to high-dose lithium. Lamotrigine gets one " + " because apart from the significant risk of a severe skin rash, it has very few other common side effects.
2. Similarly, long term risk is a subjective matter, though perhaps less so than the common immediate side effects. Lamotrigine gets a " + +" because its main risk, the rash, was listed as an immediate side effect problem; beyond 8 weeks the rash risk falls to very low levels.
3. Some might consider Zyprexa and perhaps other new-generation antipsychotics as safe in pregnancy (the Harvard Women's Mental Health clinic does not). It's easier to say which are clearly not safe: lithium, divalproex, and carbamazepine. Oh, that's interesting, notice that's all the old ones? Maybe it just takes that long to really find out what's safe? Lamotrigine has a pregnancy registry that's been running for 10 years and only has 250 cases to go on.Yerby [UPDATE 4/2004: A company representative says the registry now has about 1000 cases and they're going to ask the FDA to be listed as "category B".] As of 2000 the Zyprexa registry had 37 cases.Letter
4. Valproate and carbamazepine have been listed by the American Academy of Pediatrics as safe for breastfeedingAAP but a more recent review by Chaudron and JeffersonChaudron calls this into question because the number of infants studied was so small, and there were some problems observed in a few children among those small groups. This leaves no mood stabilizer clearly safe for use while breastfeeding. Fish oil in the doses used in research studies has not been studied. There is reason to think it might be safe -- possibly even beneficialInnis -- in both pregnancy and breastfeeding, at least at doses approximating human historical fish consumption.
FDA-Approved -- or not
The FDA has approved few of these medications for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Why not? Here's a short version of a complicated answer.
A medication cannot be advertised for a specific purpose (like treating bipolar disorder) until it is FDA-approved for that purpose. To get FDA approved, strict research guidelines must be met, including the "gold standard" randomized controlled trial as described above on this page. These trials cost millions of dollars. So if the manufacturer is not in a position to earn millions of dollars from promoting use of their product, there is a strong reason not to bother to get FDA approval -- it costs them money they'll not see coming back in return.
Therefore the FDA-approved drugs are those where the manufacturer stands to benefit by supporting the expensive research. These tend to be the newer drugs -- because the patent may have run out, or will soon, on many of the older medications. So these older drugs (e.g. carbamazepine; Trileptal; verapamil; and certainly thyroid) are not likely ever to be "FDA approved".
Therefore all the medications above except lithium, Depakote, Zyprexa and Lamictal are used "off label" in bipolar disorder (7/2004). This does not mean they don't work, or carry more risk than other options. Those medications which have been around a long time may actually be even better understood in terms of their risks, such as carbamazepine. However, FDA approval does tell you that the medication has been studied directly for the purpose described and meets rigorous standards of evidence. (well, fairly rigorous, anyway. Watch out, here comes a Phelps' Soapbox, you can probably safely leave now...)
Lately companies have been using a research approach called "enriched design" which massively biases the results in favor of their medication. The FDA approved their drugs based on such research. Unfortunately, one of the medications that I find especially effective was studied in this way, lamotrigine. It would be very nice to see this particular medication studied under truly "randomized" conditions, as I think it would still come out looking great. But to do the research this way means the company runs the risk of spending millions of dollars for results that don't look so hot, as occurred in the biggest long-term study of Depakote, scaring a lot of companies into using this looks-scientific-but-takes-fewer-risks design. To their credit, the makers of quetiapine did not do this in their recent longer-term research. Interestingly, the same brilliant guy, Joseph Calabrese, directed both studies. It would be really interesting to know how these design choices were made. Ah well, they certainly aren't listening to me go on and on; so let's move on ...
Specific guidelines for lamotrigine and lithium (and valproate)
Despite the exciting new research coming out on new treatments for bipolar disorder, these three medications are hard to beat if "years and years of experience using them" matters in your case.
Just don't be in a hurry. The primary risk of this medication is a bad rash, Stevens Johnson Syndrome. It can be bad enough to put you in the hospital, in the intensive care unit. It is like having a severe burn. The risk of this reaction is generally given as about one in 3000, although some experts use in number as low as one in 10,000. On the other hand, if you have had allergic reactions to other medications in the past, the risk might be higher, e.g. one in a thousand. This risk is dramatically increased if you go faster than the usual manufacturer recommendations. I often go a bit more slowly just to lower that risk as much as possible (although going more slowly than the standard recommendations probably lowers the risk very, very little).
We used to use the manufacturer's starter kit, but a 25 mg pill is already generic (January 2008). So here are my slightly-more-conservative-than-the-manufacturer's-recommendations starting doses:
|Dose (mg)
|Pill Size (example)
|one half of a 25 mg
|25 mg
|1 1/2 25 mg
|two 25 mg
|three 25 mg
|four 25 mg
|six 25 mg
|one 200 mg pill daily
(Your doctor will need to prescribe 126 25 mg pills for this slow increase, then a 200 mg pill once daily. However, you must not miss more than three doses of this medication in a row, where you have to start the increase all over again from the beginning. If after four days or more of missed doses, you just jump in again at the full dose you were supposed to be taking, you have a risk of getting the Stevens Johnson Syndrome rash much like when you started. So make sure that you do not run out.)
People think that this slow "titration" means having to wait for a long time for the benefits of this medication. However, we already know that 50 mg is more effective than a placebo (from a randomized trial years ago). Indeed, I was pretty sure I had seen people respond even in the first week, and this was shown in a recent study.Brown Since the result is so stunning, and so few psychiatrists know about it, allow me to show you please.
A competitor's manufacturer sponsored a study comparing lamotrigine with "olanzapine/fluoxetine combination" (a combination of Zyprexa and Prozac they call Symbyax). It was already known that this is a very good medication, particularly a good antidepressant and bipolar disorder (except for the massive weight gain that can result, which is why I don't use it at all). The manufacturer surely thought that Symbyax would trounce lamotrigine, at least in the first several weeks while the dose of lamotrigine was being slowly increased. But as you can see in the graph below, Symbyax had a slight edge throughout the study, but lamotrigine did not lag behind: it showed benefits in the very first week (decreasing scores are good, reflecting less depression; lamotrigine is the dark rectangle, Symbyax the gray circle).
Back to the rash story: unfortunately, a mild allergic reaction, appearing as a mild skin rash, is common. About one person in 10 gets it. This rash poses no major risk -- unlike the severe Stevens Johnson Syndrome version. So, as you can imagine, the issue of "rash" comes up frequently this medication. Your doctor will have to determine, if you get a rash, whether you might be getting the bad one, Stevens Johnson Syndrome. The simplest way to manage this problem is simply to tell everyone to stop the medication entirely if they get a rash. No further doses, that's it, you're done. That is what the manufacturer recommends.
Instead, as many other mood experts have described, I tell my patients: "if you get a rash of any kind, or a fever, call me and describe what is going on, and do not take any further doses until you hear back from me". Your doctor may also feel comfortable trying to tell the difference between the bad rash and the benign rash, or she/he might refer you to a dermatologist. In any case, you have to be extremely careful about all this. Here is more detail about handling this rash issue.
In general, the target dose for most people is 200 mg. This probably provides more insurance against relapse than lower doses, even if depression is completely gone at a lower dose. I do have a few patients who are maintained at lower doses. If depression comes back at 200 mg, it is possible to move the dose up (I use 50 mg steps per week) to a maximum of 400 mg. At 300 mg and below, most patients have no side effects at all. But at the higher doses, many people get side effects. However, these side effects can be quite subtle and sometimes it takes a while to figure out that they are really happening, and that they are coming from the medication. These effects include: difficulty finding simple words you know very well (this has been called "word searching"), trouble remembering people's names whom you know quite well; mild dizziness, or mild balance problems. I instruct my patients to turn their dose back down if they run into one of these problems.
(updated 10/08)
If you are not familiar with lithium, I recommend you have a look at my patient education handout first.
With any of these medications, the goal is 100% symptom control, with 0% side effects. Some people can reach that goal with lithium. There is a lot of variation in side effects with lithium: some people can handle blood levels above 1.2 mmol/L without any side effects at all (e.g. doses of 2100 mg), where others will have severe side effects with 300mg alone.
I sometimes start with 300mg slow-release lithium, available in the U.S. as a generic now. It can be cut in half and thus increased by 150mg steps if needed; and it is generally much better tolerated than elemental lithium (usually given as lithium carbonate; a liquid lithium citrate is also available). If it works, you can try switching to immediate-release lithium capsules, to reduce costs, as the slow-release generic is still a bit more expensive than plain old lithium. But starting with the cheaper immediate-release capsules runs the risk of "giving lithium a bad name" if you have a bad reaction that could have been avoided with a slow-release pill. It really makes quite a difference!
Understanding when to have a lithium level can be complicated (see more on lithium for how I do this). Generally, if the level on 600mg is less than 0.7 mmol/L, severe side effects are unlikely with a 300mg step up. Minor side effects such as dry mouth and urinating a lot, including having to get up at night to urinate, are common. These side effects generally increase with each dose increase, but most people can handle moderate levels of these effects.
There are three side effects that commonly limit lithium dosing before dangerous side effects show up:
None of these is likely to decrease with time: most people have to reduce the dose (try twice a day dosing first).
Lithium should not be used if you have kidney problems, unless very carefully regulated by someone who knows what to watch for. The levels may rise unpredictably to a dangerous range. "Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories" (e.g. ibuprofen/Motrin, Naproxen, many others; and even the new "Cox-II" versions) and many blood pressure medications all can raise the risk of getting too high a blood level.
Valproate (U.S.A.: "Depakote")
If you are not familiar with Depakote, I recommend you have a look at my patient education handout first.
(If you are a woman between the ages of 12 and 50, unfortunately you should probably take this medication off your list of options, for two reasons. First, there may be a risk for women due to a possible shift in reproductive hormone regulation. For a discussion of the latest data on this risk, read about Depakote and PCOS. Secondly, this medication can cause abnormalities in developing children, so very effective precautions against becoming pregnant must be used for women who could become pregnant while taking it.)
Remember, the goal is 100% symptom control, with 0% side effects. In general, with slow-release valproate (Depakote), there are very few side effect problems. About 1 person in every 10 will have some nausea when starting, reduced if the medication is taken with meals. About 1 in 30 (in my experience) will have severe nausea. Even these folks can get used to the medication if the smallest size (125mg "sprinkles") are used and increased by one pill per week or so. Other than nausea, however, other side effects are very uncommon -- except weight gain, discussed in detail below.
The basics-of-Depakote handout shows my current start-up strategies, including using the new "ER" (extended release) formula. Since we can start a person on his/her entire dose in 24 hours, when we're in a hurry, we know it's safe to start really fast. Going slower may help prevent the most frequent problem with this medication: an appetite increase that leads to increased weight. Weight gain obviously carries health risks.
Many male patients can take 1500 or even 2000mg of valproate and not gain weight. Fewer women can, though, and many patients seem to hit a "weight gain threshold" somewhere around 1000mg. This threshold seems clearly to be higher when the new ER version is used; it looks like more patients can reach solid doses like 1500 mg with the new form. In my experience, more than 50% of women will gain weight at 1250mg or above (1500 or above with the ER version). Is this an appetite increase, as patients almost all experience when gaining weight? Or is there some metabolic shift, such as "metabolic syndrome"? The basis for this problem is still unknown. Some psychiatrists have tried using low doses of topiramate, another anti-seizure medication that tends to decrease appetite but has its own side effect problems, as an "antidote" to Depakote's appetite effects.
Fortunately, the appetite increase shows when this problem is going to occur. I have seen few patients gain weight who did not experience the appetite increase. When people lower their dose, they can tell when their appetite returns to normal, and they do not seem to gain weight. So, I tell patients that if they get an abnormal appetite, they should lower their dose until their appetite returns to normal. The "threshold" seems to lie between 1000 mg and 1500 mg per day for most patients (if using the "ER" version). I don't think I've seen a patient who experienced weight gain at 500 mg per day (there probably is one somewhere).
Depakote at 500mg/day is not generally enough for symptom control, but when combined with low-dose lithium, it can be a very effective medication. And, not all patients will experience the weight gain problem. Hair loss is also common when people hit the weight gain range, but the dose decreases required for appetite control generally take people out of the "hair loss range" as well. For a bit more on this issue, read Depakote and hair loss.
Remember, after considering lithium and Depakote (and, as of 2008, lamotrigine, now generic), there are also other mood stabilizer options, from aripiprazole to Zyprexa, so to speak.

OTSEGO COUNTY, N.Y. — Three people face drug charges after authorities say two of them were caught selling heroin out of a hotel in Otsego County.
According to the Sheriff's Office, 44-year-old John Nack and 23-year-old Kristin Manwarren were selling the drug out of a hotel on State Route 23 in Oneonta.
They were arrested, along with 32-year-old John Sanflippo, while leaving the hotel. Investigators say Sanflippo had three packets of heroin he had just bought, and that he was driving with a revoked license.
Nack and Manwarren both face felony and misdemeanor drug charges. Sanflippo faces misdemeanor drug charges along with aggravated unlicensed operation.

Zero Waste Scotland - Don't know the result and or cost of proposal
In answer to my query I have a reply:
Iain has passed on your query about the Carbon Metric to me. Firstly, thank you for the positive feedback - it's nice to see the Carbon Metric is having an impact.
On your first point, it is difficult to say how much impact the Carbon Metric will have at this stage. As a world first, we are in unknown territory to some extent. Carbon savings will come through a stronger focus on those waste streams which have a high environmental benefit of recycling as opposed to landfill. If Scotland meets the targets it has set itself in the Zero Waste Plan, by 2025 70% of all the carbon in waste streams will be recycled. The Scottish Government has estimated that the whole Zero Waste Plan will save Scotland about 500,000 tCO2eq by 2020. Relating this to degrees of warming prevented is an inexact science and requires complex climate models so I wouldn't want to hazard a guess on the exact answer to your question.
On your second point, it is up to each Local Authority to decide how they can best meet their carbon recycling targets and this might include more segregated collection systems. You will have to contact your Local Authority if you want more details on how they plan to weigh up the relative costs and benefits of each possible waste management option open to them.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any further questions on this issue.
Kind regards,
Kimberley Pratt
Environmental Analyst
Zero Waste Scotland
I think that can be fairly summarised as don't know the result and don't know the cost.

The Flash
We've already seen flashes of Grant Gustin in Glee and Arrow, where we were introduced to Barry Allen/The Flash last season, so we're excited to see the guy get his very own show. He definitely has the chops to carry a series, and The CW has repeatedly proven that they can do superheroes well. This is a recipe for success!
MTV has been faring pretty well with their original series lately, so we're excited for their newest—a theme park dramedy! Remember that movie Adventureland? This show sounds quite a bit like that, except way soapier, because we're talking about MTV here.
Jane the Virgin
Don't worry, this show isn't going to try and convince us that immaculate conception is real. Instead, Jane is accidentally artificially inseminated! Way more plausible, right? But, if you can get past this somewhat outlandish premise—based on a telenovela—you might discover that this series is pretty charming.

Christmas in a Southwestern Home
When major league ballplayer Bill Mueller and his wife, Amy, moved from Massachusetts to Arizona, the couple brought old-fashioned New England charm to their brand-new desert home.
By Ada Calhoun
Merry Vignettes
The holidays bring Amy's spare-yet-warm aesthetic into stark relief. Instead of hauling out shiny tinsel and multicolored lights, she turns to fresh clippings of pine and spruce, Kraft paper, and wooden ornaments.
In this photo: Ceramic Crate & Barrel pitchers hold fresh greenery. Amy eschews loud patterns in favor of more subdued gift wrap, like Oscar & Ollie's simple stamped Kraft paper.

Comments about Waterproof Remote Control Wall Lamp:
My laundry room light switch is located across the room by the back door. It's dark, so I put this on the wall by the hall door. I can find the light switch easily. It also helps the little kids find the half bath light switch so they can use that room when the visit. Don't forget to turn it off though, batteries aren't cheap.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Burgundy is notorious for producing expensive, even overpriced, whites, but there are still plenty of values waiting to be discovered among these Chardonnay-based wines. Just don't expect to find them in the best-known appellations -- Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet -- because their fame has fueled strong demand and high prices.

Choices at a Critical Junction: New York's Mobility and Highway Infrastructure Needs for 2005-2010
Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management, NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, March
Schaller, B.
The report is an analysis of the $17.4 billion capital budget currently proposed for the New York State Department of Transportation for the next five years, and in particular the $5.9 billion proposed for the downstate area. In its review of bridge and roadway trends, the study finds that the improvements in roadways and bridges achieved during the 1990's have begun to erode over the last few years, and the capital budget, as it is currently proposed, would fail to reverse the erosion. The report was written by Bruce Schaller, a Visiting Scholar at NYU Wagner's Rudin Center, who has experience in highway, transit and taxi issues in New York and nationally. Schaller has authored reports on East River bridge tolls, suburban transit access to Lower Manhattan, commuting and the growth of non-work travel in New York City, MTA fare policy and bus rapid transit and numerous other topics.
School Finance Court Cases and Disparate Racial Impact: The Contribution of Statistical Analysis in New York
Education and Urban Society, February 2005, Vol. 37, No. 2, pp 151-173.
Stiefel, L., Schwartz, A.E., Berne, R. & Chellman, C.
Although analyses of state school finance systems rarely focus on the distribution of funds to students of different races, the advent of racial discrimination as an issue in school finance court cases may change that situation. In this article, we describe the background, analyses, and results of plaintiffs' testimony regarding racial discrimination in Campaign for Fiscal Equity Inc. v. State of New York. Plaintiffs employed multiple regression and public finance literature to show that New York State's school finance system had a disparate racial impact on New York City students. We review the legal basis for disparate racial impact claims, with particular emphasis on the role of quantitative statistical work, and then describe the model we developed and estimated for the court case. Finally, we discuss the defendants' rebuttal, the Court's decision, and conclude with observations about the role of analysis in judicial decision making in school finance.

The Redevelopment of Lower Manhattan: The Role of the City
The Contentious City: The Politics of Recovery in New York City edited by John Mollenkopf. Sage Foundation,
Moss, M.
The attack on the World Trade Center reinforced a process of change in lower Manhattan that had been under way for at least the past fifty years. The public and private responses to the destruction wrought on September 11 have provided the funds, organizational capacity, and public commitment to do what a previous generation of municipal planners tried to accomplish, with only partial success: creating a mixed residential and office community in what was once New York City's dominant financial and business district. Federal aid to rebuild lower Manhattan has been the catalyst for modernizing and expanding its mass transit systems and facilities, providing low-cost financing for converting obsolete office buildings into housing, improving pedestrian movement, investing public funds in parks and cultural institutions, and subsidizing the creation of new public schools. This chapter examines the key public and private organizations that have shaped this redevelopment and the implications for the future of lower Manhattan and for office development in the rest of New York City.
Health Care Reform in France - The Birth of State-Led Managed Care
New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 351, pp. 2259-2262.
Rodwin, V.G. & Le Pen, C.
The World Health Organization recently ranked the French health care system the best in the world.1 Although the methods and data on which this assessment was based have been criticized, there are good grounds for being impressed by the French system. Yet in August 2004, with the national health insurance (NHI) system facing a severe financial crisis, France enacted Minister of Health Philippe Douste-Blazy's reform plan. Like previous efforts at health care reform, this one seeks to preserve a system of comprehensive benefits, which is supported by the major stakeholders.

From North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
-- North Carolina hunters who encounter sick or diseased deer afflicted with hemorrhagic disease are asked to report the sighting.
Two closely related viruses — epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) virus and bluetongue virus — cause hemorrhagic disease and both are spread by biting flies, called midges.
The Commission is asking hunters to report any sighting and notes that disease which has no human health implications is one of the most significant infectious diseases of white-tailed deer in North Carolina.
Hemorrhagic disease should not be confused with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a distinctly different disease. Extensive monitoring since 1999 has yielded no evidence of CWD in North Carolina and strict regulations are in place to prevent the introduction of this disease.
Symptoms of hemorrhagic disease in deer vary widely.
Some diseased animals will exhibit no symptoms. Some may appear bloated, very thin and weak, while others suffering from the disease for longer duration may drastically lose weight. They also may have foot, mouth and internal lesions. High fever associated with the disease can make deer thirsty, so dead and dying deer are often found near water. Hunters may observe cracked or sloughing hooves on harvested deer, which is another classic symptom of the disease.
Outbreaks of this deer disease are seen almost every year somewhere within the state and across the Southeast. The last major outbreak in North Carolina was in 2007, and other notable outbreaks occurred in 1939, 1955, 1961, 1971, 1976, 1988, 1994, 1999, 2000 and 2002. In years with severe hemorrhagic disease outbreaks, deer mortality in some localized areas can be as high as 30 percent. However, in most instances mortality is much lower.
This year, extremely dry conditions during the summer followed by heavy rainfall from Hurricane Irene created ideal conditions for the proliferation of midges, possibly causing the spread of the disease.
To report sightings of symptomatic deer, or dead and dying deer, contact the Division of Wildlife Management at (919) 707-0050 or send an email to email@example.com. Learn more about it online at http://www.ncwildlife.org/Hunting/AftertheHunt/Abnormalities.aspx.
Reported sightings allow Commission biologists to determine what areas of the state are experiencing outbreaks and the extent of those outbreaks. It also gives biologists opportunities to obtain tissue and blood samples for virus isolation by veterinarians at the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS) in Athens, Ga. Reported occurrences are summarized annually and sent to SCWDS where the occurrence and outbreak extent is monitored collectively for all states.
Commission biologists have observed outbreaks of the disease this year in deer across North Carolina — the most prevalent in the northeastern part of the state in and around Halifax, Edgecombe, Northampton, Bertie and Gates counties. Evidence of the disease also was documented in the western part of the state in Cherokee and Yancey counties.
Because the disease cannot spread to humans, hunters should not worry about dressing deer or eating venison. Deer that recover from an episode of hemorrhagic disease develop immunity to future outbreaks.

Five Alive tries a new look
Houston-based Coca-Cola Foods Co. began test marketing a new version of its Five Alive(TM) fruit beverage in some Pacific Northwest cities this past May.
Also new for the well known brand is the container. Unlike the gabletop carton used for the original Five Alive sold in the refrigerated case Five Alive citrus punch comes in a 64-oz high-density polyethylene bottle blow molded by Stewart/Walker (LaPalma CA). "It's easy to use and easy for kids to grasp" says Jay Gould director of new products at Coca-Cola Foods. Also appealing says Gould is that it's a stock bottle.

High carb vegetarian question
Long ago I lost all the weight I needed to eat on Atkins. Then I tried
to switch to a verry low fat vegitarian diet. At first I felt so much better
coming off that high fat high meet diet. But after about 2 weeks I started
feeling a lot of anxiety. The third week I had to go back to the old diet
or check in the mental institution. I always wondered what happened to
make me feal so bad. The only thing I can think of is I didn't eat many
fruits and vegitables and perhaps I didn't get enough magnesium. Does
that make any sense?

If so id imagine its more the new intake of carbs rather then the switch to veggie that had you feeling like that.
I've been veggie since i was 12yrs old, i dont/cant see how it can make you feel like this but i wouldnt know as i was so young. i do know that when i eat carbs i feel bad, especially after been off them awhile.
maybe try a low carb veggie diet? have you tried quorn? you might just miss the texture of meat?

Low fat vegetarian sounds difficult to maintain. I would think adding coconut oil & olive oil & perhaps some of the fancier expensive oils on salads would up your calorie level enough that you would feel better. Maybe nuts & seeds also?
I found I had to cut fat somewhat due to horrendous cholesterol levels for the first time in my life. I dont worry so much about heart disease as I dont have it in my family but I dont want all the brochures arriving in the mail telling me I'm a mess .

Thanks for the responces. But this was 35 years ago and the Pritican diet had just
come out. It called for a low protein verry low fat ( 10% or less) diet. It was supposed
to be super healthy ect.

For me, low fat is not something I would recommend to anyone. We need the fat.
I did a totally low fat diet for a year and gained 38lbs and I never cheated and I even learned to like all that low fat stuff, but ya know it just isn't good for you at all. It's better than some things, but processed foods are just that---processed means that they have just about removed any of the vitamins and nutrients you need for your body.
I'm a high advocate of eating fresh fruits and vegetables and I eat meat rarely--in fact, most of my meat would be in the form of bacon grease or chicken and beef broth for seasoning. Eventually, I will get away from that too...I'm still in the weaning process.
I did a very strict Atkins diet in 1987 and lost 46 lbs and I never cheated.
These days, it's very hard not to cheat.
Anytime we change the way we eat, it affects us. Me, I generally get very tired and lethargic, cranky, etc. Our bodies need time to adjust to a new way of eating or lack of eating something it is used to. For example, giving up sugar. It takes a big toll on the body cause it craves it constantly. The same with caffiene or anything we consume daily that we refuse to consume now.
I recall the Pritikin diet. Our HEB stores were great promoters of it and they used to put the items on sale that were on the diet. I never did the actual diet though.
I would advise doing the vegetarian diet the best you can and eat the fats. Even when I was juicing, if I had eaten some cheese, I think I would have felt better.
There are lots of meat substitutes out there. It's even better if you can tolerate soy. I love Boca Burgers and eat them all the time.
I hope you can find a way to eat that makes you feel good and helps you lose weight too.

Mass. plane passenger tries to open emergency door
BOSTON (AP) – State police say a Massachusetts man who tried to open an emergency door on a Delta flight from Orlando, to Boston has been arrested.
Sponsored Links
Logan International Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella says it's unclear why the passenger tried to open the door Tuesday night on the Airbus 320 out of Orlando International Airport.
Passengers say he had been drinking and appeared upset when the flight was late.
Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. spokeswoman Susan Elliott says an off-duty police officer subdued the passenger.
Delta crewmembers called authorities in Boston to report the disorderly passenger aboard Flight 1102.
Authorities say 43-year-old Robert Hersey of Arlington was arrested by state police on a charge of interfering with a flight crew. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

Net Medical Xpress Announces Substantial Teleradiology Growth And Major New Opportunities In Diagnostic/Clinical Crossover Care
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- New Mexico Software, Inc. , d/b/a Net Medical Xpress (OTC Bulletin Board NMXC), announced today that it is experiencing increasing and substantial growth in teleradiology cases. The company said it expects total case volume to increase nearly 19% in 2012 over 2011.
Nestor Pena, Vice President, Operations, Diagnostic Unit, said, "Our overall volume is approaching 300,000 cases yearly. This is substantially above where we started in 2008." So far in December alone, Pena said, the company has hired four additional radiologists bringing the total to 59 and two additional cardiologists raising that total to 17 to meet the growing demand.
"Our rapid growth is a testament to the expertise of our radiologists and cardiologists who are routinely delivering high levels of quality patient care. Another reason for our success is our turn around times are averaging 16 minutes, which we believe is one of the best records in the industry. We anticipate volume from new customers will steadily grow as telemedicine is further embraced with the rollout of the Affordable Health Care Act."
Net Medical CEO Dick Govatski said, "There is tremendous opportunity for our teleradiology healthcare customers with our growing crossover capability connecting diagnostic and clinical units. We are launching a 'Gold Seal' Net Medical affiliate program to enable these companies to offer our diagnostic telemedicine programs to their existing customers, which will significantly enhance and expand their ability to provide quality healthcare to a broader base. We anticipate initially certifying partner companies in the first quarter of 2013."Net Medical Xpress' telemedicine programs provide diagnostic and clinical medical services to mobile companies, urgent care facilities, hospitals, trauma centers, imaging centers, jails, nursing homes, corporate health departments, and outpatient medical facilities. The company's web-based XR-Express 510K FDA cleared PACS technology developed by Net Medical enables medical providers to remotely provide critical real-time patient assessments.
