Budget Proposal Cuts NextGen, Delays Certifications
[Avionics Today March 5, 2014] President Barack Obama's 2015 proposed budget received criticism from the aviation community, as the proposal would cut funding for NextGen, delays aircraft and avionics certifications, and impose a $100 per flight user fee on commercial and business aviation operations.
The FAA's budget request includes $836 million in base NextGen funding, which is $65 million less than 2014's $901 million request. As the program enters critical years of implementation, aviation industry experts believe the cut would greatly impact the modernization of the U.S. Air Traffic (AT) system.
"A $65 million cut to the NextGen program's funding from the current fiscal year poses new obstacles to meeting program milestones in the next several years, leading up to the 2018 mid-term objectives outlined by FAA leadership," said Marion Blakey, president and CEO of Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), in reaction to the president's fiscal year 2015 budget request.
Just last week, the Department of Transportation's Inspector General's office released a report indicating the FAA is behind on its scheduled NextGen implementation and is facing some critical decisions in the program.
The budget request would also include a 25 percent reduction in funding for environmental research and development of metrics to demonstrate the benefits of NextGen technologies to airspace users.
Pete Bunce, president and CEO of the General Aviation Manufacturer's Association (GAMA) was also critical of the budget's impact on the FAA's ability to certify new technologies. The agency is already facing a large certification backlog, and with the integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) increasing, the budget cut will have a major impact on certification wait times if approved by lawmakers.
Bunce and National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) President and CEO Ed Bolen were also critical of the proposed $100 per flight user fee included in the latest budget proposal in statements released Tuesday.
"We are extremely disappointed that the president's budget threatens to throw down obstacles to recovery by seeking to impose a $100 per flight user fee," said Bunce.
"The administration's decision to increase the depreciation period for General Aviation (GA) aircraft is also very disheartening. We have always been open to being part of a larger look at depreciation for capital investments, but do not believe the General Aviation industry should be singled out."

Buffalo Rolls Past Colorado, Improves to 3-1
from Press Release
The Buffalo Bandits (3-1) rolled past the Colorado Mammoth (1-5) with a 16-9 road win before a crowd of 14,822 at Pepsi Center in Denver on Saturday night. The loss marks Colorado's fourth straight in two back-to-back night series in two weeks.
Dhane Smith (4g,2a) and Steve Priolo (3g,1a) led the Bandits offense in the club's third-straight victory and first ever win in the Mile High City.
"I thought we were real good," Bandits head coach Troy Cordingley. "I thought we we're real good in pressuring and creating turnovers and pushing the ball in transition…it gave us that energy early in the game and we continued."
John Tavares, the team's leader in goals, was not in the lineup, but was no problem for the visiting team, who had eight separate shooters register goals.
"The guys knew we had to bare down, our leader is not in the lineup and other guys had to pick up their game, and they did tonight," Cordingley added.
Buffalo pulled out to an early lead in the opening minutes, thanks in part to their transition game and Jamie Rooney, sparking a four-goal run. Priolo would record three of Buffalo's five goals in the opening frame, and held Colorado to a single score. The Bandits would add three more in the second, but a five goal surge by the Mammoth, capped off by three in 56 seconds, kept the game tight going into the half with the score 8-6.
Colorado's struggles in the third quarter reared its ugly head once again in tonight's matchup, being held to a lone score compared to Buffalo's six, essentially putting the game out of reach for the home team.
"We looked like a tired team tonight, no excuses," Mammoth head coach Bob Hamley commented. "We battled back to 8-6, and came out flat in the third quarter."
Adam Jones (3g, 2a) highlighted the Colorado offense once again, remaining the NLL points leader heading into Week #5.
Athan Iannucci (2g, 1a) netted his first goal with the Mammoth in his second game with the team.
Tye Belanger recorded six saves on 11 shots in just less than 13 minutes of game time before being pulled for the fifth time in a game this season. Dillon Ward, who played all 60 minutes in Friday's loss in Vancouver, relieved Belanger for the rest of the game, stopping 33 of 42 faced.
Hamley simply stated that the team cannot rely on momentum swings through swapping Ward and Belanger.
"We got to figure out a way to battle through it without changing goalies every goal."
Anthony Cosmo stood tall throughout the night for Buffalo, posting 32 saves. The veteran netminder credited the team with an extraordinary overall effort, but noted one of the keys to Saturday's victory was defense and attacking a fatigued Mammoth squad.
"It was a great team performance," Cosmo said. "Defensively I thought we did a great job in keeping these guys to the outside…We tried to put little more pressure on them than we usually would and the game plan worked great."
Colorado sits at the bottom of the West Division heading into next week, where they will travel back to Alberta to face the Calgary Roughnecks for the second time this month. Game time is set for Saturday, Jan. 25 at 9 ET.
Buffalo meanwhile will travel back home to First Niagara Center to host the Rochester Knighthawks in a game that could move the Bandits into first place in the East Division.
Three Stars of the Game as selected by the media:
1) Steve Priolo
2) Dhane Smith
3) Athan Iannucci

Mindy was baptized and confirmed at Hope Lutheran Church in Minneota.
He attended Minneota public schools and the Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis for plumbing and heating and later gained his Master Plumber's license.
On August 27, 1941, Mindy married Elienore Ahlschlager at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Balaton.
Mindy was drafted into the Army Air Corps on March 17, 1942 and served his country honorably as a member of the 312th Bomber Group 388th Squadron.

Carol Jean McMahon
BARK RIVER – Carol Jean McMahon, 85, of 4590 K Road, Bark River, was called to her heavenly home on Wednesday, Feb. 13, after losing her courageous battle with cancer. She also suffered with Macular Degeneration and COPD all of her adult life, but that did not slow her down.
She was an avid Green Bay Packer fan. She also enjoyed sitting on her deck overlooking the Ford River with their dog Corky on her lap. On any given Saturday afternoon, she could be found playing poker with her husband and their family. She was known for her banana bread and potato salad and was always willing to supply them for many family functions.
She was born on Jan. 15, 1928, in Escanaba to Charles and Emma (Girard) Perryman. She graduated in 1946 from Escanaba High School. She was honored by being the 5,000th student to cross the stage at graduation.
On April 30th, 1949, she married the love of her life and her soul mate, John T. McMahon of Hyde. They raised their family in Escanaba and Hyde and have resided on the McMahon family homestead in Hyde for many years.
She worked at JC Penney until her retirement in 1988. She was a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hyde. She was a past member of St. Paul's Ladies Aid, VFW Ladies Auxiliary, and PTA president of Ford River School.
She is survived by John, her loving husband of 63 years; their family dog of 13 years, Corky; six daughters, Sue (Dan) Salmon, Barb McMahon, Laura (Dennis) Dittrich, and Patti (Terry) Dittrich all of Hyde; Judy (Terry) Chouinard of Riverland; Gail (Larry) Kosobucki of Hopkinsville, Ky.; one son, John (Darlene) McMahon of Readfield, Maine; 18 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren; brothers, Howard (June), Max (Char) and Tom Perryman; sisters, Marilyn McGinnis and Dolly (Ron) Dufour; sister-in-law, Helga Perryman; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by an infant son, David Lee; her parents; brothers, James, Charles (Skip) and Bobby; and sister, Shirley (Billie Ann) Makosky.
Visitation will be on Sunday, Feb. 17 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Crawford Funeral Home in Escanaba. The funeral service will follow at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hyde at 4 p.m. with a meal to follow.
Burial will be in the West Ford River Cemetery in the spring.
The Crawford Funeral Homes are assisting the McMahon family with arrangements.

Time to 'Friend' Facebook
Written by: Jim Van Meerten
Tickers in this article: FB UNTD RAX SLH
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Now that Facebook (FB) has been trading and reporting revenue and earnings for at least six months, it's time to put it on your watchlist. Look but don't dive right in without looking at the numbers and comparable opportunities. During the last six months, although the over all market as measured by the Value Line Index has been flat, Facebook seems to have finally found its support level and is past its IPO jitters. Look at Facebook compared to the Value Line Index in this graph provided by Barchart and you can see that FB is trying to catch back up to the market:
Technical factors to consider: Barchart gives the stock both an 80% Barchart technical buy signal and a Trend Spotter buy signal based on price momentum and technical analysis. The stock is finally trading above its 20-, 50- and 100-day moving averages with a Relative Strength Index of 70.39%. During the last month the price had 12 advances for 30.26% and during the last quarter advanced 17 times for a 55.61% gain. The stock is still off its past high by 27.83%. Barchart computes a technical support level at 25.73 and it recently traded at 27.55 which is above its 50-day moving average of 21.90. Fundamental factors to consider: Wall Street is closely following this stock and 26 firms have assigned 36 analysts to project numbers on this one. They have consensus projections of revenue increases of 35% for this year and another 28.90% next year. Earning estimates look good with a consensus increase of 20.90% this year, 25.03% next year and an annual increase of 26.95% for the next five years. If we use the annual earnings per share estimate of 42 cents, that gives us a present price/earnings ratio of 66. There is still a lot of cash left over from the IPO and it will be needed to keep the site up to date and ahead of the competitions developments. The company has a B+ financial strength rating. The stock is still not rated by TheStreet. Investor interest: Wall Street is pushing the stock at this level and presently brokerage firms have issued 11 strong buy, 14 buy, 10 hold and only a single sell recommendation to their clients. Wall Street looks for investors at this level to gain a 20% annual total return over the next five years. The individual investor got burned badly on the IPO and over on Motley Fool 1,509 individual investors that have this stock on their watchlists only give it a 52% vote of confidence to beat the market in the coming year.
Other opportunities: I like to compare a featured stock to other stocks in the same sector, which is the Computer Programming and Data Processing Services sector.

Iraq Veterans Against the War
Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) was founded by Iraq war veterans in July 2004 at the annual convention of Veterans for Peace (VFP) in Boston to give a voice to the large number of active duty service people and veterans who are against this war, but are under various pressures to remain silent. From its inception, IVAW has called for: Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq; Reparations for the human and structural damages Iraq has suffered, and stopping the corporate pillaging of Iraq so that their people can control their own lives and future; and Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women.Home

Young people (age 16 to 29) read and use libraries more than older people, according to a Pew survey. Millenials are "a rising generation of book lovers," proclaimed the Christian Science Monitor.
Hold the hallelujahs, advises Dan Willingham. Young people are said to be reading "a lot," but Pew set a low bar: 83 percent read a book in the previous year. One book per year. Of course, young people spend a lot of time reading texts, Tweets and Facebook updates, but it's not quite the same thing.
Americans spend much more time watching television each day than they do reading. This chart by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows how Americans of all ages use their leisure time.
It doesn't change much for younger folks, Willingham writes. They read more for school work than their elders, but are somewhat less likely to read for pleasure or to keep up with current events.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse
- The Essence of Emeril
- 1 pound dried fettuccine
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish, optional
Cook the fettuccine in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and saute until tender. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in, set over medium-high heat along with the reserved cooking liquid. Add the butter-cream mixture and half of the Parmesan and toss to combine thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

I bought this because my granddaughter does not like to eat fruits and vegetables. Actually, I bought a single serving packet at the health food store first to see if she'd like it. Then I checked iherb to see if I could get it cheaper. I did! The formula has fruits and veg from all the colors of the rainbow! I put it in unsweetened chocolate Almond Breeze with a packet of Truvia and a scoop of Amazing Grass, and she loves it! Don't hesitate to buy it if your child is a poor eater.
I like it
Posted by Reviewer3342714 on Apr 01, 2009
I gave it to my daughter who is 3 and she didn't like it even after I brought (soy) chocolate milk to add to it. I thought it was delicious even though I don't like chocolate milk at all. It wasn't too sweet nor too bland. Unfortunately, it's for kids so I won't be buying it again but I do encourage others to buy it because of it's nutrients. One more thing, you must add a little water first before you add the milk

Battery life differs between the Microsoft Windows Battery Meter and the ThinkPad Battery Information Power Manager tool.
|Affected configurations
Any of ThinkPad systems that supports Power Manager.
Due to these two different methods for reporting remaining battery life, it is quite possible for the two applications to report slightly different values for the remaining battery life. This is normal behavior, and is no indicative of a problem with the ThinkPad or the battery.
|Additional information
The Microsoft Windows Battery Meter shows a value for the remaining battery life that might be different than the ThinkPad Battery Information tool. This difference is actually not a problem at all, but is due to differences in reporting remaining battery life between the two applications.
The Microsoft Windows Battery Meter reports a value for remaining battery life by dividing the remaining battery capacity by the current battery draining rate as described in the ACPI specification (chapter 3.9.3 'Battery Gas Gauge'). This method of reporting is a fair estimate for remaining battery life if the user continues to do what they are currently doing until the battery is drained.
The ThinkPad's Battery Information tool shows the remaining battery life by communicating more often with the Smart unit in the ThinkPad's battery pack. The ThinkPad's Smart battery has a custom processor inside that measures additional battery data values to calculate a more accurate remaining battery than the Microsoft Windows Battery Meter can.

Gregory Farmhouse
* Not Protected
Warren and Sadie Gregory purchased the Santa Cruz mountain acreage in 1916, and they drove or took the train down from Berkeley to vacation there whenever they could. Initially, a small Gothic Revival farmhouse dating from the 1880's provided adequate shelter. It eventually felt cramped for a family of four children, and it stood at the bottom of a heavily forested canyon. They hired William Wurster to design a larger residence to be located at a higher point in the canyon, in order to take advantage of the views and to enjoy the sunshine.
The Gregory Farmhouse is a Bay Region Modernist style house. Upon arrival, all of the elements of the residential compound are visible at once. Standing on the western side of the property looking east, there is the concrete block front wall with its central, diagonal braced wooden gates that open onto the compound's forecourt; the tall, sheer frame water tower, with a thick mud-walled one-story structure at its base to the northwest; and the L-shaped house proper, itself wooden frame with board siding - its simple gable-ends and covered walkways forming the southern and eastern two sides of the courtyard. This forecourt affords the house a public countenance, shielding the main living spaces behind it and allowing them to open informally to a private outdoor space. On the south side of the house, a low-walled terrace off the living room looks out over a vineyard sloping down to an old apple orchard. In the distance is a view of Monterey Bay. The terrace broadens into a sweeping curve as it extends around the east side or back of the house. The whitewashed vertical boards, double-hung windows, porch overhangs and shingle roofs have a timeless quality about them – they are devoid of any decorative flourish or fashionable quirk. In the words of the architect, William Wurster, this is, "a house of a carpenter architecture – no wood beams or posts larger than absolutely necessary – an arid, California yard with the protecting walls about." For the Gregory farmhouse, Wurster reinterpreted aspects of the vernacular Monterey ranch, by abstracting it slightly, by favoring broad unbroken surfaces and by employing a stricter sense of proportion and axiality.
The stark whitewashing of the complex, gives a flash of white through the frame of scrub oak and the shadowy redwood groves. In the summertime, the crispness of the white, prismatic forms emphasizes the contrast with the parched grass field to the south.
Currently, the house remains as isolated as had originally been intended given its usage as a summer house. Warren Gregory's affection for this particular site is movingly expressed in a letter, "I am building a new house up on the ridge where the sun is a more frequent visitor and we can look across Scott's Valley in the evening and count the evening stars."
The Gregory farmhouse is ±70 miles south of San Francisco, CA. The house stands at the end of a dirt and asphalt drive, on a terraced clearing in an area dense with manzanita and groves of redwood, oak, and fir in the Santa Cruz Mountains along the central California coast.
"I like to work on direct, honest solutions, avoiding exotic materials, using indigenous things so that there is no affectation and the best is obtained for the money," Wurster said in 1936. The Gregory farmhouse was one of his first houses to express that philosophy with eloquence and assurance.
The Gregory Farmhouse is often labeled the first ranch house. This achievement isn't as dubious as it may seem; Wurster's intriguing design puts to shame the ubiquitous, low-slung copies that eventually sprang up in suburban housing tracts across the country.
Wurster's trademarks, as architectural historian Daniel P. Gregory, grandson of Sadie and Warren Gregory, remarks, are "a sophisticated simplicity, careful siting, emphatic indoor-outdoor relationships, natural materials straightforwardly worked and a contradictory air of informal, sometimes rustic elegance – like an expensively tailored workshirt."
Gregory goes on to explain, "His was not a radical but a subtle art. Like a photographer or collage-maker, he dealt in ready-made images, fashioning his assemblages out of the experience of everyday reality." In his early houses Wurster reworded the old and ordinary, helping us to see familiar things as if for the first time.
A vivid composition fashioned out of ordinary forms and materials, the Gregory farmhouse expresses a brand of assertive modesty that became especially appealing during the Depression. The process of clarification and simplification, of reduction to essential elements was important to the owners. Not only did Sadie Gregory need to keep costs down with her husband's death (Warren Gregory sadly died of a heart attach in 1927, before the house was completed), she also frowned upon pretense of any kind. She had been trained as a political economist at the University of Chicago, where she had studied under Thorstein Veblen. Any hint of "conspicuous consumption" was anathema.
"The endless variety of fronts presented by the better class of tenements and apartment houses in our cities is an endless variety of architectural distress and suggestions of expensive discomfort," Veblen wrote. "Considered as objects of beauty, the dead walls of the sides and backs of these structures, left untouched by the hand of the artist, are commonly the best feature of the building." Veblen's stinging condemnation of those who flaunt their wealth was never far from the mind of Sadie Gregory; she kept a photograph of Veblen on her dressing table.
"In the wake of such indictments, a segment of the upper classes, emulating the European aristocracy or 'old money,' more calmly adjusted their lifestyles and possessions in architecture and furnishings," Marc Treib, who curated a SFMOMA exhibit on William Wurster with the assistance of Dorothée Imbert, wrote in the exhibit catalog. "The higher social strata of the Bay Area tended to adopt these precepts and wished to inhabit an architecture at once comfortable yet expressive of social station."
"Architecture is not a goal," Wurster wrote in 1956. "Architecture is for life and pleasure and work and for people. The picture frame, not the picture." Published widely in the architectural journals and popular shelter magazines of the day, first in Sunset in 1930, as well as in Architect and Engineer, Architecture, and Pencil Points, and House Beautiful, from which it won a gold medal for small dwelling design – the Gregory farmhouse stood out among the traditional Tudor, Neoclassical, or Spanish Colonial Revival-inspired houses and estates that were still appearing regularly. The house looked new and old at the same time. It expressed a modern approach to function without assuming radically new shapes and forms. House Beautiful wrote, "This house has, we believe, the great merit of originality and simplicity. Obviously a copy of no other house, it is a straightforward attempt to solve a specific problem, which it does in the most discreet manner." Simplicity became the Gregory farmhouse's most remarked upon quality. By the 1960's the house had become an emblem of regionalism, used often to illustrate part of California's contribution to the history of architecture. It represented at the time an in-between in the evolution of modernism: not traditional, not avant-garde but free thinking and pragmatic. Architectural historian Sally Woodbridge wrote that in the farmhouse Wurster "took the body of modernism and gave it a regional soul." Wurster designed high ceilings and wide, generous hallways that could be used as far more than just pathways from one space to the next. He created the "room with no name" by eliminating interior walls that traditionally separated the living room, dining room and den. Again, this opened up the interior. Wurster also blurred the distinction between inside and outside. It was not unusual for several--if not all--the rooms in his homes to have access to the outside.
Feeling that modernism was being turned into a rigid stylistic dogma, Wurster insisted on a flexible approach.
"Over and over again I would reiterate that Modern is a point of view not a style," Wurster wrote in a 1936 Architect and Engineer article. "And everyone seems so determined to pin set things to it. Use the site--the money--the local materials--the client--the climate to decide what it shall be."
By blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors, carefully positioning windows to take in breathtaking views or intimate private gardens, creating spaces that could serve a variety of uses, and relying on unadorned interiors and exteriors, Wurster helped define what architecture critic Lewis Mumford dubbed the "Bay Region" style of modernism.
Through the Gregory farmhouse and other structures, William Wurster offered an alternative to the austere, dogmatic International Style espoused by architects such as Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe who held sway over the US architectural scene throughout the bulk of Wurster's career. Instead of glass, steel and stucco boxes, Wurster developed an understated architecture that relied heavily on regional building history and indigenous materials – handled, however, with simplicity, refinement, and a forward thinking and creative mind.

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts in the other direction, you may feel euphoric and full of energy. Mood shifts may occur only a few times a year or as often as several times a week.
Although bipolar disorder is a disruptive, long-term condition, you can keep your moods in check by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder can be controlled with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).
There are several types of bipolar and related disorders. For each type, the exact symptoms of bipolar disorder can vary from person to person. Bipolar I and bipolar II disorders also have additional specific features that can be added to the diagnosis based on your particular signs and symptoms.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, lists criteria for diagnosing bipolar and related disorders. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Diagnostic criteria for bipolar and related disorders are based on the specific type of disorder:
Bipolar II disorder is not a milder form of bipolar I disorder, but a separate diagnosis. While the manic episodes of bipolar I disorder can be severe and dangerous, individuals with bipolar II disorder can be depressed for longer periods, which can cause significant impairment.
The DSM-5 has specific criteria for the diagnosis of manic and hypomanic episodes:
For both a manic and a hypomanic episode, during the period of disturbed mood and increased energy, three or more of the following symptoms (four if the mood is only irritable) must be present and represent a noticeable change from your usual behavior:
To be considered a manic episode:
To be considered a hypomanic episode:
The DSM-5 also lists criteria for diagnosis of a major depressive episode:
Signs and symptoms include:
To be considered a major depressive episode:
Signs and symptoms of bipolar I and bipolar II disorders may include additional features.
The same DSM-5 criteria used to diagnose bipolar disorder in adults are used to diagnose children and teenagers. Children and teens may have distinct major depressive, manic or hypomanic episodes, between which they return to their usual behavior, but that's not always the case. And moods can rapidly shift during acute episodes.
Symptoms of bipolar disorder can be difficult to identify in children and teens. It's often hard to tell whether these are normal ups and downs, the results of stress or trauma, or signs of a mental health problem other than bipolar disorder. And children who have bipolar disorder are frequently also diagnosed with other mental health conditions.
The most prominent signs of bipolar disorder in children and teenagers may include severe mood swings that are different from their usual mood swings.
If you have any symptoms of depression or mania, see your doctor or mental health provider. Bipolar disorder doesn't get better on its own. Getting treatment from a mental health provider with experience in bipolar disorder can help you get your symptoms under control.
Many people with bipolar disorder don't get the treatment they need. Despite the mood extremes, people with bipolar disorder often don't recognize how much their emotional instability disrupts their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
And if you're like some people with bipolar disorder, you may enjoy the feelings of euphoria and cycles of being more productive. However, this euphoria is always followed by an emotional crash that can leave you depressed, worn out — and perhaps in financial, legal or relationship trouble.
If you're reluctant to seek treatment, confide in a friend or loved one, a health care professional, a faith leader or someone else you trust. He or she may be able to help you take the first steps to successful treatment.
Suicidal thoughts and behavior are common among people with bipolar disorder. If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
Also consider these options:
If you have a loved one who is in danger of committing suicide or has made a suicide attempt, make sure someone stays with that person. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Or, if you think you can do so safely, take the person to the nearest hospital emergency room.
The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but several factors may be involved, such as:
Factors that may increase the risk of developing bipolar disorder or act as a trigger for the first episode include:
If you have bipolar disorder, you may also have another health condition that's diagnosed before or after your diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Such conditions need to be diagnosed and treated because they may worsen existing bipolar disorder or make treatment less successful. They include:
Left untreated, bipolar disorder can result in serious problems that affect every area of your life. These may include:
You may start by seeing your primary care doctor or you may choose to see a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions (psychiatrist).
Before your appointment, make a list of:
Take a family member or friend along, if possible. That person may provide more information or remember something that you missed or forgot.
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions at any time during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Be ready to answer them to reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
When doctors suspect someone has bipolar disorder, they typically do a number of tests and exams. These can help rule out other problems, pinpoint a diagnosis and also check for any related complications. These may include:
Although bipolar disorder can occur in young children, typically it's diagnosed in the teenage years or early 20s. It's often hard to tell whether a child's emotional ups and downs are normal for his or her age, the results of stress or trauma, or signs of a mental health problem other than bipolar disorder.
Bipolar symptoms in children and teens often have different patterns than they do in adults and may not fit neatly into the categories used for diagnosis. And children who have bipolar disorder are frequently also diagnosed with other mental health conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or behavior problems.
Your child's doctor can help you learn the symptoms of bipolar disorder and how they differ from behavior related to your child's developmental age, the situation and appropriate cultural behavior.
Treatment is best guided by a psychiatrist skilled in treating bipolar and related disorders. You may have a treatment team that also includes a psychologist, social worker and psychiatric nurse.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
The primary treatments for bipolar disorder include medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy), and may include education and support groups.
A number of medications are used to treat bipolar disorder. The types and doses of medications prescribed are based on your particular symptoms.
Medications may include:
Talk to your doctor or mental health provider about side effects. If side effects seem intolerable, you may be tempted to stop taking your medication or to reduce your dose on your own. Don't do it. You may experience withdrawal effects or your symptoms may return.
Side effects often improve as you find the right medications and doses that work for you, and your body adjusts to the medications.
Finding the right medication or medications for you will likely take some trial and error. If one doesn't work well for you, there are several others to try.
This process requires patience, as some medications need weeks to months to take full effect. Generally only one medication is changed at a time so that your doctor can identify which medications work to relieve your symptoms with the least bothersome side effects. Medications also may need to be adjusted as your symptoms change.
A number of medications for bipolar disorder can be associated with birth defects. Discuss these issues with your doctor:
Psychotherapy is a vital part of bipolar disorder treatment and can be provided in individual, family or group settings. Several types of therapy may be helpful. These include:
Depending on your needs, other treatments may be added to your depression therapy, such as:
Treatments for children and teenagers are generally decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on symptoms, medication side effects and other factors.
You'll probably need to make lifestyle changes to stop cycles of behavior that worsen your bipolar disorder. Here are some steps to take:
Alternative medicine is the use of a nonconventional approach instead of conventional medicine. Complementary medicine is a nonconventional approach used along with conventional medicine.
There isn't much research on alternative medicine and bipolar disorder. Most of the studies on alternative or complementary medicine that do exist are on major depression, so it isn't clear how well most of these work for bipolar disorder.
If you choose to use complementary medicine in addition to your physician-recommended treatment, take some precautions first:
Coping with bipolar disorder can be challenging. Here are some strategies that can help:
There's no sure way to prevent bipolar disorder. However, getting treatment at the earliest sign of a mental health disorder can help prevent bipolar disorder or other mental health conditions from worsening.
If you've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, some strategies can help prevent minor symptoms from becoming full-blown episodes of mania or depression:
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is ranked among the Best Hospitals for psychiatry by U.S. News & World Report.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh today in Amman, Jordan. Following their meeting, Secretary Clinton said:
"...The United States values our strong, close relationship, our very important partnership with Jordan. It is rooted in respect and common purpose. And today, I am very pleased to announce that yesterday a new Millennium Challenge Corporation compact was voted on that will invest more than $275 million in sustainable development here in Jordan. We worked very hard on this, and it was in partnership with the Jordanian Government that we looked at the needs that the people of Jordan have. We consulted broadly, outside even the Jordanian Government, with the private sector, with academics, experts, and others. And constantly, we heard, 'Help Jordan deal with the water and waste water issues that affect people across the country.'
"So this compact will help rehabilitate the water supply network, improve waste water collection and irrigation, and expand a key waste water treatment plant. This investment will create jobs for the people of Jordan, so it has the added benefit of not only building infrastructure that will help people in their homes, in their businesses, and provide a base for further economic development, but put people to work right now. And at the end, more than one million Jordanians will be supplied with safe and reliable access to clean drinking water for the very first time."
The Secretary continued, "...There's a saying that Jordan punches above its weight. It may not be a huge population, but it has a commitment to excellence in so many areas.
"Jordan has continued to help build a stable, sovereign, and self-reliant Iraq, and I want to thank the government and people of Jordan for the assistance that you give to Iraqi refugees. I know that that was a difficult responsibility to accept, but I thank you for carrying it forward.
"I also thank the government and people of Jordan for your efforts on behalf of peacekeeping missions around the world, where Jordan has proven time and time again to be a force for peace and progress.
"And of course, as Nasser said, Jordan is a crucial partner working to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and bring a comprehensive peace to the Middle East. We were honored to host King Abdullah II in Washington as these talks got underway, and I want to publicly thank him, as I privately have, for his contributions both to the resumption of direct negotiations and to the constructive beginning that has occurred. Jordan's steadfast support for this process is essential. And today, His Majesty and I discussed ongoing negotiations and I expressed my confidence that Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas can make the difficult decisions necessary to resolve all of the core issues within one year."
Secretary Clinton concluded, "...We believe that not only is it important to pursue the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, but a comprehensive regional peace, the vision that is at the heart of the Arab Peace Initiative. And Nasser and I have spent a lot of time talking about the remarkable document that the Arab Peace Initiative is. I'm not sure many Arabs nor many Israelis have read it, and I would commend to you, particularly those of you in the media, read this document that was begun as a wholly Arab initiative. It was led by, it was written by, it was promulgated by Arab leaders. And it holds out the very promise that we seek.
"And also, we are seeking to determine what direction we can head in order to pursue peace between Israel and Syria, and Israel and Lebanon. To this end, Senator Mitchell is on his way for consultations in Damascus and Beirut. We believe that progress toward regional peace will support and give confidence to the direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and also bring peace to those countries as well.
"Now, I hope that we keep in mind what is possible, because I think peace is possible. And I also think peace is necessary. I will always remember watching the late King Hussein as he signed a treaty that ended decades of war with Israel. That was a historic achievement that continues to inspire me. And under the leadership of King Abdullah II, Jordan has continued to demonstrate its willingness to make difficult decisions in the name of peace that will lead to stability and security.
"So with the commitment of an Israeli prime minister and a Palestinian president who both embrace the goal of a two-state solution, peace is once again within our reach. But it is really going to be up to all of us. The leaders may meet in the room and discuss these issues, the negotiators may debate around the table, but peace only comes from the people themselves. And I would ask that all of the people of this region do what you can to promote the possibility and then the reality of peace.
"So again, let me thank Jordan and particularly my friend, the Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, for your leadership and your active involvement in the pursuit of this important goal -- important for Jordan, for the Palestinian people, Israel, the United States, and all the world who cares about what we are achieving and attempting to accomplish here today."

Defense Secretary Panetta Discusses Tough Negotiations over Lockheed F-35 Fighters

No contract after nearly a year of negotiations
Negotiations between the U.S. government and Lockheed Martin over the $400 billion F-35 Lightning II program have been tense.
Defense News
reports that one deputy program manager said that the relationship between the Department of Defense and Lockheed is "the worst I have ever seen."
After that comment was made, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stated, "I don't know that I would portray it in those terms. These are difficult negotiations, as they always are when you're dealing with the amount of money and the complexity that's involved with the Joint Strike Fighter."
Defense News
reports that last week Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter put his support behind comments made by Air Force Major General Christopher Bogdan. Bogdan had harsh words for Lockheed Martin's failure to sign a contract with the Pentagon for 32 F-35 fighters after almost a
year of negotiations
However, Panetta does not agree that the relationship between the U.S. government Lockheed is the worst he's ever seen.

"I don't share it, number one, because … I don't know the history of just how much has gone on in the past," Panetta said. "But at least from what I have seen at this point, my view of it is these are very tough negotiations, but they aren't a reflection that either side has given up or thinks that the other side, you know, is in a more difficult state at all."
Panetta is also reportedly unhappy that Congress won't be back in session until after the elections in November. An initial round of budget cuts in defense spending is set to begin in January. With Congress out of session until the elections are over, there is no chance of avoiding or delaying the defense spending cuts.
Panetta said, "I'll take whatever the hell deal they can make right now to deal with sequestration. The problem now is that they've left town and all of this has now been put off into the lame duck session."
"We need stability," he said. "You want a strong national defense for this country? I need to have some stability. And that's what I'm asking the Congress to do: Give me some stability with regards to the funding of the Defense Department for the future."
Defense News
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Installation of safety devices reduces the risk of home injury in children
- Division of Pediatric Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Ontario, Canada
- Correspondence to W James King
Division of Pediatric Medicine, Children's Hospital of Eastern, Ontario, 501 Smyth Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1H8L1, Canada; king{at}cheo.on.ca
Implications for nursing practice
■ Installation of simple safety equipment such as stair gates, cabinet locks and smoke detectors can significantly reduce the exposure to safety hazards in the home and the rate of medically attended injuries.
■ Families should receive education regarding the risk of home injury in children.
Implications for nursing research
■ Research is needed to further identify the best mode of intervention delivery and the contextual effects that influence intervention effectiveness in different cultures and settings.
■ A cost–benefit analysis is recommended.
The home is a principal setting for injury mortality and morbidity, especially for those younger than 15 years of age.1 The specific types and causes of childhood injuries vary according to age and development. Fires and burns, inhalation and suffocation and drowning are the leading causes of unintentional home injury death while …
