INNOVATION, creativity and entrepreneurship took centre stage yesterday at the Anggerek Desa Technology Park as the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) celebrated its first Innovation Day.
Held at the iCentre and Knowledge Hub buildings located at the Technology Park, the event saw the attendance of Dato Paduka Awang Haji Ali bin Haji Apong, the Deputy Minister at the Prime Minister's Office and Chairman of the BEDB as the guest of honour.
Proceedings kicked off with the Hackathon Final Award Ceremony at the iCentre, in which the guest of honour presented the prizes to each of the participants of the Brunei Water Hackathon – a competition organised by BEDB aimed at encouraging the public and students to create engineering solutions to everyday problems. Lasting 13 weeks, the Hackathon allowed participants to bring their ideas from the stages of concept to prototype.
Following that, the deputy minister proceeded to view a showcase of the solutions and inventions created by the winners.
Speaking at the event yesterday, Dr Haji Abdul Manaf bin Haji Metussin, the Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office and Chief Executive Officer of the BEDB highlighted, "The BEDB has organised Innovation Day to celebrate innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity that is the driving force behind the BEDB's initatives, including the Brunei Hackathon."
He noted that various showcases and activities were taking place yesterday at the iCentre and Knowledge Hub which demonstrated "the growing pool of talented people with potential to become the key players in ICT, engineering, multimedia, design and technology.
"The BEDB hopes that with Innovation Day, the public will be able to interact with our existing entrepreneurs and innovators, and be inspired to develop their own ideas and businesses."
In line with the celebration of Innovation Day, the iCentre and Knowledge Hub each carried their own themes. The iCentre's theme was 'Entrepreneurship', and put the spotlight on its incubatees and Ignite Entrepreneurship Challenge participants, giving them the opportunity to showcase their business ideas, products and services.
In addition, the iCentre also set up entrepreneurship clinics for members of the public, offering them the opportunity to learn and understand more about creating viable business ideas, the importance of revenue generation and financial management, as well as branding and advertising.
Meanwhile, at the Knowledge Hub, the theme of 'Creativity' was carried, featuring members of the creative sector, who converged and showcased their production and animation creations.
One of the highlights was the CRAFT Showcase, where the deputy minister got to see work done by CRAFT students over the past year. In addition, an animation workshop for the public was organised by Autodesk, while creative group Kaleidoscope conducted a number of activities of their own, which included an acoustic session in the afternoon.
As a statement from the BEDB reads, "The main objective of Innovation Day is to celebrate, promote and get the public interested and excited about innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship.
"The BEDB is readily available to help entrepreneurs and innovators with initiatives like Start Up Brunei or the Local Enterprise Application and Products scheme (LEAP) to support their ideas so that they ultimately become commercialisable products or services.
"Innovators and entrepreneurs can also visit the iCentre to learn more about its services and how it is trying to develop a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in Brunei."

To determine whether some children with bipolar disorder (BP) manifest irritability without elation and whether these children differ on socio-demographic, phenotypic, and familial features from those who have elation and no irritability and from those who have both.
361 BP youth recruited from three sites, University of Pittsburgh, Brown, and UCLA were assessed at baseline and for most severe past symptomatology using standardized semi-structured interviews. BP subtype was identified and frequency and severity of manic symptoms quantified. Subjects were required to have episodic mood disturbance to be diagnosed with BP. The sample was then re-classified, and compared, based upon the most severe lifetime manic episode into three subgroups: elated only, irritable only, and both elated and irritable.
Irritable only and elated only subgroups constituted 10% and 15% of the sample, respectively. Except for the irritable only subjects being significantly younger than the other two subgroups, there were no other between groups socio-demographic differences. There were no significant between-group differences in the BP subtype, rate of psychiatric comorbidities, severity of illness, duration of illness, and family history of mania in first/second-degree relatives and other psychiatric disorders in first degree relatives with the exception of depression and alcohol abuse occurring more frequently in the irritability only subgroup. The elated only group had higher scores on most DSM-IV mania criterion B items.
The results of this study support the DSM-IV A criteria for mania in youth. Irritable-only mania exists, particularly in younger children, but similar to elated-only mania it occurs infrequently. The fact that the irritable only subgroup has similar clinical characteristics and family histories of BP, as compared to subgroups with predominant elation, provides support for continuing to consider episodic irritability in the diagnosis of pediatric BP.
Unique, age specific aspects of the pediatric bipolar disorder (BP) phenotype continue to be debated. According to the DSM-IV1 criteria, irritability and elation are core features of the pathological alteration in affect and mood in the manic phase of bipolar disorder, but there is no consensus on the differential significance of these symptoms in children and adolescents. 2-12 In this regard, a recent series of reports13,14, documenting a dramatic rise in the reported cases of bipolar illness among children and teens, underscores growing concern with diagnostic error in this age group and, accordingly, the need for rigorous, empirical research to illuminate unique psychopathological features of these core elements. While some assert that severe, explosive irritability is more common in bipolar children than euphoria or elation 2-5,12 Geller and colleagues,9,15 taking note of potential overlap in diagnostic symptoms between early childhood bipolar illness and multiple other forms of severe childhood psychopathology, have argued for the diagnostic centrality of elation and/or grandiosity in research of pediatric bipolar disorder in order to minimize risk of diagnostic imprecision. Notably, in a review and meta-analysis of seven studies, with differing methodologies, of juvenile bipolar subjects completed between 1982 and 2004, Kowatch and colleagues 16 report that rates of irritability and elation vary widely across study samples.
In an attempt to define diagnostic boundaries more sharply, Leibenluft and colleagues 17 have operationalized three clinical phenotypes of bipolar disorder: narrow, intermediate, and broad. Narrow phenotype bipolar disorder is defined as a child having at least one episode in which full DSM-IV criteria are met, including duration criteria and the presence of elation and/or grandiosity. The intermediate phenotype has two subtypes: 1) mania or hypomania NOS (episodes too short to meet DSM-IV duration criteria) and 2) irritable mania or hypomania. Broad phenotype children are characterized by chronic irritability and hyperarousal but specifically exclude patients with elation, grandiosity, and decreased need for sleep. Importantly, this same research group has also subtyped irritability according to course (chronic vs. episodic) and found that episodic irritability was associated with bipolar disorder and anxiety while chronic irritability, or broad phenotype, was more closely associated with ODD, CD, and ADHD and possible increased risk to develop MDD. 18
Other recent reports further underscore the potential importance of distinguishing irritability and elation within the pediatric bipolar spectrum. Rich and colleagues compared subjects with disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) and severe mood dysregulation to narrow phenotype bipolar subjects and found differences in psychophysiological measures, thus indicating that the biological substrate of irritability may vary between diagnostic groups.19 Brotman and colleagues have compared parents of youth with DBDs and severe mood dysregulation to parents of youth with narrow phenotype bipolar disorder, finding that bipolar disorder was significantly more likely in parents of narrow phenotype bipolar disorder.20 Masi and colleagues reported on 136 BP-I patients (40% female) with mean age of 13.5 who were clinically sub-typed into chronic vs. episodic course and "prevalent elated" vs "prevalent irritable" and found that elated mood was more frequent in patients with an episodic course while irritable mood was more frequent in patients with a chronic course.21
Reflecting these disparate observations and commentary, the National Institute of Mental Health Research Roundtable on Pre-pubertal Bipolar Disorder22 has advocated further clinical observational research to extend our knowledge of the correlates and predictive value of these symptoms. Thus, at this time the differential significance of irritability versus elated mood with regard to factors such as disease course, psychosocial adjustment, non-affective diagnostic comorbidity, and treatment response remains conjecture.
The main goals of this study were to determine whether mania/hypomania in youth may be manifested with only irritability without elation and whether children with bipolar disorder who have irritability and no elation differ on socio-demographic, phenomenological, and familial features from those who have elation and no irritability and from those who have both. The most severe lifetime symptoms (at intake or in the past) were chosen because of the increased likelihood that these symptoms would be better remembered by parents and youth. The main hypotheses tested in this study are that, as indicated in the DSM-IV, BP may be manifested with irritability without elation and that groups formed based upon the presence or absence of irritability or elation will not differ when compared socio-demographically, phenomenologically, and with regard to family history during the most severe lifetime manic episode. An absence of a difference between the groups would add support for the equal importance of these symptoms in the diagnosis of BP and support the inclusion of subjects with irritable mania in future research studies of pediatric BP.
The participants were subjects enrolled in the Pittsburgh, Brown, UCLA multisite study, "Course and Outcome of Bipolar Illness in Youth" (COBY), which is investigating the long-term psychopathological course, outcome, and effectiveness of naturalistic treatment exposure in pediatric BP. The sample is ideally suited for this investigation because of the large sample, the rigorous application of diagnostic criteria, the availability of family history data, and the enrollment of all subjects in long term prospective follow-up assessments. Additionally, the large size of the COBY sample allows for the formation of mood consistent subgroups categorized by the most severe lifetime manic episode which allows for the investigation of the above hypotheses. Since COBY is following all subjects, future studies will be able to evaluate the above-noted hypotheses prospectively and the stability the manic symptoms overtime.
This report is limited to a sub-sample of the study (N=361), all of whom were administered the K-SADS MRS about the most serious past episode. The study sample of 446 subjects were enrolled at three academic medical centers: Brown University (n= 144), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA; n =90), and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC; n=212). Detailed descriptions of the baseline phenomenology can be found in previously published reports.23,24 Briefly, most subjects were referred from outpatient programs (66%); 15% of the subjects were recruited from inpatient units, 14% from advertisements and 5% from other sources. Study inclusion criteria included: (1) current age of 7 years 0 months to 17 years 11 months and (2) meets DSM-IV criteria for bipolar I or bipolar II disorder, or the COBY established criteria for bipolar disorder NOS. Two hundred twenty-six subjects met criteria for BP-I, while 20 subjects met criteria for BP-II and 115 for BP-NOS. Since the DSM definition of BP-NOS is not operationalized, to avoid entering into the study youth with "soft" BP symptoms, only children with certain minimum duration plus a minimum number of symptoms with and without prior episodes of depression were considered for the diagnosis of BP-NOS. BP-NOS was defined as the presence of elated mood, plus two associated manic symptoms, or irritable mood plus three DSM-IV associated manic symptoms, along with a change in the level of functioning, duration of a minimum of 4 hours within a 24-hour period, and at least 4 cumulative lifetime days meeting the criteria. Children and adolescents meeting this more strictly defined BP-NOS have similar, but less severe, clinical picture, comorbid disorders, family history, and longitudinal outcome than the BP-I subjects.23,24 Moreover, about 25% of these youth diagnosed with BP-NOS converted into BP-I or BP-II over an average period of two years. 23
Study exclusion criteria were: current or lifetime DSM-IV diagnosis of Schizophrenia, Mental Retardation, Autism or severe autistic spectrum disorders, or Mood Disorders due to substance abuse, a medical condition, or secondary to use of medications (e.g., corticosteroids). Subjects determined to have a chronologically primary bipolar disorder with secondary substance abuse disorder were included into the study.
Informed consent was obtained prior to initiation of the assessment from the subject's parent/guardian and from subjects aged 14 years or older. The study procedures were explained in age-appropriate language to younger subjects and verbal assent was obtained prior to the assessment. The institutional review boards at the three centers reviewed and approved the study protocol prior to enrollment of any subject.
Socioeconomic status was measured using the Hollingshead four-factor scale.25 Pubertal status was reported by subjects of age 10 years and older using the Pubertal Developmental Scale (PDS).26 Subjects aged 7 to 9 completed the PDS with their parent's assistance. The PDS ratings were converted into associated Tanner Stages of sexual development.27 Subjects whose ratings were equivalent to Tanner Stage I or who were younger than age 8 were considered pre-pubertal.
Subjects were assessed by semi-structured interviews of the child/adolescent and a parent/primary caregiver (about the subject) by bachelor's, master's, and doctoral-degree level clinicians. Non-mood psychiatric disorders were assessed using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children, Present and Lifetime Version (KSADS-P/L). 28 As the KSADS-PL only ascertains the presence or absence of symptoms, mood symptom criteria were assessed using the depression section of the KSADS-P (Present Episode, 4th revision) and the KSADS-Mania Rating Scale (KSADS-MRS) to more accurately ascertain the severity of mood symptomatology. 29 Manic symptomatology and severity thresholds were updated to reflect the current thinking regarding evaluation of mania/hypomania in youth.30 The KSADS –MRS is a 15 item inventory with excellent inter-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient =.97), convergent validity with Clinical Global Impressions Severity Scale (rs=.91), and differentiates bipolar patients with from those without significant manic symptoms.31 Items on the KSADS-MRS are derived from the KSADS-Present Episode 1986 version and includes a mood lability item. Symptoms are rated from 1 (normal or not present) to 6 (extreme symptoms). Mild elation (rated as 3 on this scale) reflects the presence of a "definitely elevated mood and optimistic outlook that is somewhat out of proportion to his/her circumstances". Mild irritability (rated as 3 on this scale) reflects the presence of "Often (at least 3X/3 hrs. ea. week) feels definitely more angry, irritable than called for by the situation, relatively frequent but never very intense. Or often argumentative, quick to express annoyance. No homicidal thoughts;" (For further information regarding the items included in the K-MRS see www.wpic.pitt.edu/research, under 'Assessment Instruments').
Depressive and manic symptom severity ratings were recorded for the most severe week in the month prior to the intake assessment. Subjects were not required to be in an episode of mania or depression at the time of intake. The most severe week of depressive and manic symptomatology in the subject's lifetime was assessed using the KSADS-P/L with the first 84 subjects enrolled in the study, and the KSADS-MRS and KSADS-P/L mood disorder sections for the remaining subjects. Subjects were asked about all lifetime mania or hypomanic episodes but only the most severe and the current (within the last month) were rated. Mood symptoms that overlap with other psychiatric disorders (i.e. motor hyperactivity, distractibility) were not rated as present in the mood sections unless they intensified with the onset of abnormal mood. Comorbid diagnoses were not assigned in COBY if they occurred exclusively during a mood episode. The onset of the first and the most recent episode of each type of DSM-IV major mood episode (manic, mixed, hypomanic, or major depressive episodes) were recorded, as well as the first time subjects met criteria for BP-NOS. The age of onset for a subject's BP-spectrum illness was defined as the age of onset of clinically significant manic, hypomanic, and/or depressive symptoms that affected the child's functioning. Illness duration was defined as the subject's current age minus the age of BP onset. However, given the controversies diagnosing BP in very young children, the minimum age of onset for BP-spectrum illness was arbitrarily set at age 4.
All interviewers and doctoral-level clinicians underwent training and certification in the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School –Age Children (K-SADS) at each site. All cases were discussed during weekly clinical consensus team meetings at each site to confirm the diagnoses. This clinical consensus team consisted of doctoral-degree-level child psychiatrists and/or psychologists and the interviewers. During this meeting the K-SADS symptoms and the subject's medical records were reviewed. A best estimate clinical consensus procedure was used to confirm the child psychiatric diagnosis.23,24 Additionally, diagnostic issues that could not easily come to consensus were conferenced across the 3 sites. There was high reliability for differentiating BP from non-BP subjects (kappa = 0.90) and the BP diagnostic subtypes (kappa = 0.79). For the non-mood disorders, kappas were ≥ 0.80. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96 for the KSADS-MRS and 0.98 for the KSADS Depression scale.
The Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS) was used to establish global level of functioning.32 The C-GAS is a clinician-rated global measure of impairment with excellent inter-rater reliability.33 Scores range from 1-100 (scores over 70 indicate normal adjustment).
The primary caretaker of the subject was interviewed at intake about his/her personal psychiatric history using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). 34 In addition, the primary caretaker was interviewed about the psychiatric status of the subject's first- and second-degree relatives using the Family History Screen (FHS).35 For each disorder, the interviewer indicates which family members were reported as having experienced the disorder, separately for first- and second-degree relatives using a 4-point scale (1=not present, 2=possible, and 3=probable, 4=definite). The disorders examined in the current study were major depression, mania, anxiety disorders, ADHD, ODD, conduct disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, substance abuse, substance dependence, and suicidal attempts/completions. The FHS yields acceptable test-retest reliability and validity as determined by comparing informant family history diagnosis to best-estimate diagnoses based upon direct interview. 35
In order to further understand the clinical implications of the symptoms of irritability and elation in the diagnosis of BP, subjects were classified by primary DSM-IV criterion A manic symptoms. Independent of BP subtype, subjects were classified into one of three symptom subgroups using most serious lifetime manic episode scores on the MRS: (1) elation only, (2) irritability only, and (3) elation plus irritability. Subjects were classified as having elation or irritability if K-SADS MRS scores were rated in the "Mild but definite" range (a score of "3") or above. All subjects met consensus criteria for BP based upon DSM-IV criteria. The subjects with mild category A symptoms still had other impairing symptoms above the clinical threshold and had clear episodicity.
Three hundred sixty-one of the total 446 subjects were classified into one of these three categories. Eighty-five subjects who were enrolled early in the study did not have most serious past episode of mania recorded using the K-SADS MRS so these subjects were not included in this analysis. The absence of data for these subjects was due to an early change in the COBY methodology (described above).
SPSS® was used for data analysis. Differences in demographic, phenomenological, and family history factors among the three symptom groups were analyzed using analysis of variance, chi square, and non-parametric univariate tests (Kruskal-Wallis test), as required by the characteristics of the data. For comparing K-SADS Most Serious Lifetime Manic Symptoms, we conducted a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) analysis in which age was covaried, since the groups were found to differ on this characteristic. In this MANCOVA, the elation and irritability scores that were used to define the groups were omitted. This analysis was used to determine that the groups differed with regard to Lifetime Symptoms overall. Because the MANCOVA analysis requires listwise case deletion, however, we also analyzed group differences on the K-SADS Lifetime Symptoms by univariate analysis of covariance, covarying for age. Since both methods yielded similar results, in Table 3 we report the univariate results since the Ns are higher for these analyses. All values are reported as means ± standard deviations unless otherwise specified. All p values are based on two-tailed tests with α = 0.05.
In order to describe the symptom stability of the three subgroups, we compared the elation and irritability MRS scores at the time of intake and at most serious past manic episode. As noted above, subjects did not need to meet criteria for a manic episode at intake to be enrolled in the study. However, all subjects met threshold criteria for elation and/or irritability at intake or at most serious past episode. Sixty percent of the subjects met threshold criteria for elation and/or irritability at both intake and at the most serious past episode. Additionally, for the elation only group, 100% were below threshold criteria for irritability at both time points and similarly for the irritable only group, 100% were below threshold criteria for elation at both time points. Fifty-seven per cent of the Elation Only group (n = 54) met threshold criteria for high elation at intake and at most serious past episode. Sixty-one percent of the Irritability Only group (n = 36) met threshold criteria for high irritability at intake and at most serious past episode.
As shown in Table 1, there were no significant differences between these three subgroups in terms of gender, race, living arrangements, SES or ethnicity. However, subjects with irritability only were significantly younger and had earlier pubertal status than subjects with elation only and subjects with both elation and irritability. There were no significant between-group differences in BP subtype, age of onset of mood symptoms, age of onset of BP, or duration of BP. There was a trend for the Irritability Only subjects to be more represented among those with BP-NOS. Subjects with elation plus irritability and elation only had significantly higher KSADS-MRS most serious lifetime mania compared to irritability only subgroups. In a secondary analysis, the specific MRS elation and irritability symptom scores were omitted from this recalculation and the results similarly indicated that the irritable only subjects had significantly lower total MRS scores that the other two groups F(2,357)=5.5, p=.005.
There were no significant differences between the symptom subgroups when comparing percent positive lifetime history of ADHD, ODD, Conduct Disorder, Substance Abuse, and anxiety disorders. There was also no effect of DSM-IV criterion A symptom profile on the lifetime presence of psychosis, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, self injurious behavior, psychiatric hospitalizations, or exposure to psychopharmacological medication.
As shown in Table 2, after adjusting for the number of members within each family, there were no effects of DSM-IV criterion A symptom profile on rates of familial psychiatric illness in first degree relatives. This was also the case for second degree relatives, with the exception of depression and alcohol dependence. The irritability only subgroup had significantly more second degree family history of depression and alcohol dependence compared to the elation only subgroup. There was also a trend toward more second degree relatives with mania in the irritability-only group.
As depicted in Table 3, there were many significant differences, after controlling for age and analyzed using MANCOVA, in mean K-SADS MRS for individual symptoms among the three symptom subgroups. The elation only and elation plus irritability subgroups had higher scores on the KSADS MRS items than the irritability only subgroup for the following symptoms: grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, increased goal directed activity, inappropriate laughing, and unusual energy. The elation plus irritability subgroup had significantly higher KSADS MRS scores than the irritability only group for increased creativity. The irritability only subgroup had significantly higher mood lability K-SADS MRS scores than the elation only and the elation plus irritability subgroups.
The frequency of grandiosity within each subgroup using the same cut-off scores (3 and above = present and 2 and below = not present) was analyzed. We found that 71% of the entire sample had mild or greater most serious lifetime grandiosity scores on the MRS while 74% of Elation Only, 56% of the Irritability Only, and 73% of Elation plus Irritability subjects had mild or above most serious lifetime grandiosity scores on the MRS. The three groups did not differ significantly on grandiosity score (chi square (2) = 5.324, p = .07).
We have also analyzed the sample using just the current (KSADS-MRS at intake) episode. There were no significant differences between the re-classified symptom subgroups when compared by bipolar sub-type, severity of disorder at baseline, percent co-morbid conditions, or family history in this analysis.
The main goals of this study were to determine whether mania/hypomania in youth may be manifested with only irritability without elation and whether children with BP who have irritability and no elation differ on socio-demographic, phenomenological, and familial features from those who have elation and no irritability and from those who have both. We found that irritable only mania and elated only mania constituted 10% and 15% of the sample, respectively, with the majority having both elation and irritability. However, it is important to highlight that only the most severe lifetime manic episode symptoms that occurred at intake or in the past were analyzed. Thus, it is possible that the current grouping of "irritability only" bipolar children might have experienced an elated mania during another, though less severe, episode (and vice versa for the "elation only" bipolar children). Except for the irritable only subjects being significantly younger than the other two subgroups, there was no other between groups socio-demographic differences. There were also no significant between groups differences in the bipolar subtype, rate of psychiatric comorbidities, severity of illness, and duration of illness. Importantly, we found that the three subgroups, (irritability only, elation only, and elation plus irritability), did not differ with regard to family history of psychiatric disorders in first degree relatives. Rates of disorder in second degree relatives were also similar between the three subgroups with the exception of depression and alcohol abuse occurring more frequently in the irritability only subgroup. Taken together, these findings indicate that the DSM-IV A criteria is applicable to youth with bipolar disorder and that the irritability only subgroup, who in COBY also have distinct mood episodicity, is generally not significantly different from groups with elation, supporting continuing to consider irritability as a mood symptom in the diagnosis of juvenile bipolar disorder. These results also do not support prior research which suggests that irritability alone is the most common presentation of mania in children and adolescents.12
The presence of elation was associated with higher scores on most DSM-IV mania criterion B items. The elation only and elation plus irritability subgroups had higher individual scores on the KSADS MRS items than the irritability only subgroup. In this way, the elation subgroups appear similar to the "narrow" phenotype defined by Leibenluft and colleagues17 and also similar to the subjects included in Geller and colleagues' sample9,10 as well as that of Masi and colleagues.21 The irritability only subgroup appears to be most similar to the "intermediate phenotype" subjects also described by Leibenluft and colleagues.18,19 Over half (56%) of these irritable only subjects would have been included in Geller et al 9,10 studies because of the presence of grandiosity. The irritability only subgroup defined in this study would not be considered similar to children referred to by Leibenluft and colleagues 18,20,36 as "Severe Mood Dysregulation (SMD)" because SMD subjects by definition do not have mood episodes, but chronic symptoms, most fulfill the DSM-IV criteria for ODD/CD/ADHD, and do not fulfill the criteria for any DSM-IV BP subtype, including COBY's modification of the DSM-IV BP-NOS.23,24
The finding that subjects with bipolar disorder who were in the irritable only subgroup did not differ from the two groups with elation in terms of frequency of family history of psychopathology is important. Brotman and colleagues reported that narrow phenotype bipolar disorder may be distinct from SMD in terms of familial aggregation of psychiatric illness.21 The fact that irritable-only subjects in COBY did not differ from subjects with elation may be explained by the necessity for mood episodicity in COBY's inclusion criteria. This emphasizes the importance of considering episodicity when diagnosing youth with BP, particularly if they do not have elation.
We found that approximately 75 percent of the sample had both elation and irritability, while 15 percent had elation with no irritability and 10 percent were defined as having irritability without elation. These results suggest that irritability and elation most often co-occur which is consistent with other groups.10,11,21 It is also striking to note that the irritability alone group was significantly younger and that they had lower MRS scores on most items. These differing clinical presentations between children and adolescents may be attributable, at least in part, to the psychosocial and maturational changes that occur after puberty.30 While speculative, it is possible that the younger age associated with the irritable only subgroup may be at least partially accounted for by their earlier developmental stage encompassing more predominant sub-cortical limbic mechanisms and less advanced prefrontal cortex operations in which mania is manifested by more diffuse irritability instead of elated mood which may require the acquisition of more complex neurodevelopmental processes.37,38 It will be of interest to see if these differences are just due to age and to see if this group will eventually begin to appear phenomenologically more similar to the other two groups or if they will remain different.
The results of the study must be considered in the context of certain limitations. The symptoms obtained from the most severe lifetime manic episode were subject to retrospective bias. Only the most severe lifetime manic episode symptoms were analyzed, thus missing possibly important retrospective clinical data from other episodes. Since COBY is following all subjects, longitudinal follow-up of this sample will more accurately account for all subsequent episodes of mood disturbance and evaluate the stability of the manic symptoms over time and whether more subjects present with only irritable mania. An additional limitation is that the family history method (FHS) used may underestimate the occurrence of disorders in relatives (especially second degree relatives) compared to direct interviews of family members. However, previous COBY studies have found that the FHS was able to discriminate clinical subgroups.39,40 Finally, the study sample was recruited by a variety of methods including referral from clinical programs. Therefore, the subjects may represent a more severely affected cohort of bipolar youth and thus results may not generalize to an epidemiological sample of bipolar youth. It could also be that the chance of referral would differ depending on irritability versus elation status. Finally, another limitation is that most of the sample was Caucasian, which may limit generalizability.
The results of this study support the DSM-IV A criteria for mania in youth. Our results also support previous findings that most youth with bipolar disorder have elation co-occurring with irritability with a small percentage, particularly in the younger children, having irritability only. The fact that the irritable only subgroup in this study has similar clinical characteristics and family histories of bipolar disorder, as compared to subgroups with predominant elation, provides support for continuing to consider irritability in the diagnosis of juvenile bipolar disorder, particularly if they have episodic illnesses and other DSM-IV category B symtomatology. Longitudinal follow-up of this sample will clarify whether the presence of predominance of elation or of irritability at baseline will be predictors of future clinical outcomes.

Experts outline how to winterize your home
MISSOULA, Mont. - It's been very cold lately and brisk weather can cause some big problems for homeowners and renters.
NBC Montana spent Monday evening talking to plumbers and handymen; they offered advice for viewers struggling with cold weather problems around the house.
Dan Kinzle has been in the plumbing business for fourteen years. Right now he works at ACE Hardware and he says he gets customers in on a daily basis looking for solutions to freezing water pipes.
"Any pipe that has water in it all of the time should have a heat tape on it if it's exposed to below freezing temperatures," said Kinzle.
He says if you're concerned your pipes may freeze another option is to crack your faucet.
"Let it drip a little bit and that will keep pipes from freezing quite a bit," said Kinzle. "It's no guarantee that they won't freeze so you're better off to heat and insulate with heating tape and make sure you've got it protected."
Missoula plumber Jason Templin tells people to pay attention to plumbing in crawl spaces and other small areas because they are common spots for frozen pipes.
"If it gets really windy and it blows through there that's when you know you're going to get some frozen pipes," said Templin. "Or there could be a burst factor."
Templin also suggests leaving cabinet doors open when cold weather hits. He says this can help pipes remain warm avoiding bursting.
"The most important thing for most people is just to make sure you know where your main water shut off is so that if something does break you know how to shut it off," said Templin.
After years of working with customers Kinzle says a little effort ahead of time goes a long way.
"Do this work before it gets cold," said Kinzle. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and it's much more comfortable to crawl underneath a house when its 60 or 65 degrees out then when it's below zero."
One final thing, our experts advise if you're going out of town for an extended period of time leave your heat set at a minimum of 55 degrees. Get too stingy with the power bill and you may end up paying for repairs when you return.


text: Hello all. I suppose I'd best start from the beginning, when I moved installed Windows 8 Release Preview onto the second hard drive on my build, duplicated files onto it, and left 7 on my WD drive(in case 8 didn't work out) About a week later, trouble struck. The WD drive started to make terrible grinding noises, and soon after stopped showing up on my computer. I figured that I'd have to get another drive, but that it could wait- I still had my main drive, after all. However, 8 quickly began to irritate me, as it begun slowly freezing up- I'd be in Chrome, and suddenly I couldn't access the Start screen or the dock icons. Soon, I wouldn't be able to do anything, and I'd have to manually restart. It is worth noting here that I tried multiple times to install drivers for my AMD 6870, but they didn't work(some games, for example, would say "Bad graphics card drivers", and could not run) So I figured that I'd just stick in the disk for 7(Home Premium), and get going again. After multiple failed attempts, I finally managed to get it installing, and went to have dinner. After I got back, lines of code were flashing across a black screen. Though moving quickly, I managed to catch what appeared to be the first few words(they were the first in about 90% of the lines). They were "Restoring orphaned..." I decided it was best to not mess with it, as something had clearly gone wrong and it was restoring files. In the morning, it worked- except that my wireless mouse did not. I grabbed a wired one, plugged it in, and installed Windows, then replaced it with a wireless one, which said it was "Installing Drivers". All my old stuff is now in WindowsOld.001. My question here is, is there any way to move those files back to my current Windows(that is, the program files- documents and pictures were backed up). Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can't seem to find the Gigabyte drivers disk- basically, my computer doesn't have network adapter drivers- so it can't connect to the internet to download drivers. Thanks!

"From its outset the goal of this project has been to subvert Palestinian statehood, a goal from which Israel is but a hair's breadth away. By insisting that Palestinians return to this empty exercise, and by continuing to block attempted interventions by other parties, including the UN and its various agencies, the U.S. has in effect been collaborating with Prime Minister Netanyahu's goal of "politicide"--the violent termination of Palestinian national political existence."Um, okay. That's quite the claim. See, "this project" has been going back at least 20 years, so does Mr. Siegman expect us to believe that everything Israel has done in that time has been against Palestinian statehood? They created the PA, withdrew from Area C and Gaza and granted the PLO legitimacy all for the cause of keeping the Palestinians disenfranchised and occupied? Perhaps if Mr. Siegman would like to back this up with some kind of evidence, but even the "hard right" Netanyahu has endorsed "two states for two peoples." His peace loving Palestinians have yet to do so.
I'm not sure where this charge of "politicide" came from, but it's a bad sign for one's argument when you have to make up a word to support it. Would Mr. Siegman like to explain what Israel would have to gain by the destruction of Palestinian political existence? After all, the Palestinians would remain there and so they would be right back where they started in 1988. How exactly could Israel do that even if they wanted to? And what has Israel done to earn this charge that they are doing it "violently?" Finally, have the Palestinians anything to brag about in terms of moving the process along? Oh yeah, no they don't.
This is becoming a very common tactic, at least among the Huffington Post blogosphere. Make an incredibly charged claim and then fail to back it up. In this case, by moving on to something else. Now like the true "America firster" that all critics of Israel are, Mr. Siegman demands that American power be marginalized. Huzzah!
"The only remaining hope for the achievement of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict now depends entirely on the international community's readiness to sweep aside America's claim to a monopoly over Middle East peace making...and to intervene vigorously in order to seek to alter the peace process' disastrous trajectory."A good idea in theory but unfortunately for Arabists like Mr. Siegman, that's not going to mean a major change in policies. The Quartet powers (of which we are one) don't care so much about settlements, but they do care about radical groups like Hamas and aren't willing to ignore them like Mr. Siegman does in this article. As Aaron David Miller pointed out in his book, there simply aren't any organizations with both the power and the desire to hammer out a Middle East peace. Mr. Siegman and his Arab friends can either deal with that (not likely) or continue to whine about it and never get anywhere. I'm predicting the latter.
Mr. Siegman then quotes a couple of European leaders criticizing Israel over settlements and other issues, as if to say that should this mythical "international community" get more involved the settlements would magically disappear and all Palestinian demands would be met with a click of the fingers. At this point he pulls out the mind reading powers:
"[Major] European, Latin American and Asian countries to defer any longer to the U.S. on this issue, and their readiness to expose what they long knew but were reluctant to express: that Netanyahu's declared commitment to a two-state solution has been a lie."Really. Is that so. I'm not sure at what point Mr. Siegman was elected spokesperson for two thirds of the world, so that he might speak in their name, but congratulations for him are in order. Of course, it could be that the people he cited criticized settlements for their own political reasons. But he certainly can't imagine that they might be critical of settlements but supportive of Israel in general. You know, how all of our friendly anti-Zionists pretend to be?
Don't get me wrong. It is perfectly possible that all of these countries not only think that Netanyahu is not committed to a two-state solution and that for some reason they aren't willing to express that in public. After all, we did see Sarkozy refer to Netanyahu as a liar. But for me to believe a claim this big, you need to have proof. Something. Anything. It's too big for me to take it at simply face value, and it's not even that I don't want to hear it. I don't particularly care about how the international community perceives Netanyahu, seeing as how he can always be voted out of office. But given Mr. Siegman's history of wishful thinking passed off as facts, he needs something better than that.
As before, his article is incredibly long so I'm going to break it into another section. Stay tuned for it to come in tomorrow.

Ramble thingMature
The same old things ringing in my ears
You're so nice and
You're so clever
So why am I
Stuck in bad weather
The higher road
I'm always walking
Is starting to hurt my feet
When do I get to throw up my hands
Cry out my thoughts?
When do I get to yell out all the words
Crowding my head
You want to laugh and make a joke?
Or do you want to take this seriously
How do you expect me to open up
When you never quite get the message
Don't say you'll always be there for me
Cause I know
You'll join me in feeling low
And then who has to pick up the pieces again?
It's not fair
Who can I talk to?
About all in my head
Nobody can figure out
The right words to say
And I know it's not your fault
But it's getting harder everyday
I'll just keep pretending everything's all right
Even though you see my dead-eye stare
It's getting hard to care
Maybe one day
I'll throw it all away
Forget about all the responsibilities
Maybe one day
I won't dare
To ask you "why?"
When you say you're not okay

Question: For 2014 Silvertip Construction Inc reported income from continuing operations
For 2014, Silvertip Construction, Inc., reported income from continuing operations (after tax) of $1,650,000 before considering the following information. On November 15, 2014, the company adopted a plan to dispose of a component of the business. This component qualifies for discontinued operations treatment. During 2014, the component had pre-tax operating losses of $95,000. The component's assets have a book value of $760,000 on December 31, 2014. A recent market value analysis of these assets placed their estimated selling price at $735,000, less a 6% brokerage commission. Management appropriately determines that these assets are impaired and expects to find a buyer for the component and complete the sale early in 2015.
Prepare a partial income statement for Silvertip including EPS disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2014. Begin at income from continuing operations. Assume a 35% income tax rate and 1,000,000 shares of outstanding common stock.

More or less still sort of confusing...
Hermes picked me up and sat me down in the armchair in my sitting room, while he pulled up a stool and perched on that. I dabbed my face groggily with my hand, and it came away red with blood.
"Ok, so maybe I shouldn't have hit you as hard as that - it takes a lot to make us bleed. Well, I say 'us' but I'm still not sure about you. I mean, yes, you didn't explode into a pool of blood and lots of tiny bits when I hit you, but it could just have been luck. Or good bone structure. Or genetics. Well, actually its to do with genetics if I am right, but yeah-"
I pulled my thoughts together for a second, long enough to cut him off. "What the hell? Who are you?"
He sighed, like I was supposed to know this already and am now disappointing him - almost like a teacher looking at a child that hadn't done his homework.
"Well, if you had been paying attention you would have heard me say that I'm the new Hermes - it's not my proper name, or maybe it is now, but its what you should call me. Stops the confusion, because all this is certain for me. And that probably sounds really confusing, so I'll cut to the chase.
Every... I dunno, a very long time, something like every fifty generations or so, the Gods are... reset. Respawned, for use of a better word. It starts with Hermes - me - because he's the one that has to gather all the Gods together to make everything right again. Because unfortunately its not just the Gods that get done over, its all the bad guys too. Everything the last generation locked away, all the way back to the ancient times, gets to start over too. And to be honest, I'd run - because it looks like they're coming."
There were roars and shouts of anger coming from outside my front door. Hermes reached into his backpack and pulled out a sword, helmet and a package made out of pieces of old parchment tied together with string.
"Ok, maybe that'll help you understand everything better - I gotta go. I gotta find a lot of you buggers. But don't worry, you'll manage. Just watch out for the big ones, and try and find the others. Makes my job a lot easier."
And with that he vanished, leaving me shocked and stunned with a bloody nose and what sounded like the denizens of hell knocking down my front door.

Cool video. A bunch of the pilots from Vance AFB frequent a BBQ place in a small town near the base. I was there talking to the owner when about twenty of them showed up. I asked the owner if he was having some kind of special night for high school kids and he laughed telling me that these were pilots who had just graduated from flight school at Vance.
I had never realized how tiny pilots are. Nothing like the large he man image you seem in the movies. Just struck me as funny but one of them told me that being small is a plus for a pilot.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
I salute all those who served, past and present, my country and all my fellow americans. Thank You for sharring. Very Cool!

Mckenzie Scotts materials were inferior. There were anumber of typo's in my resume and C-level bio. Subsequently, I had my resume reviewed by another placment firm and they changed major portions of the wording and format. All of their cover letters are canned, and inferior. You can design much better individualized cover letters with a $39.95 package off of the internet. McKenzie Scott did not meet the marketing schedule THEY set. My mailout distributions were about 6 weeks late and ran into the year end Holidays. Their "super search" engine did does not connect to anumber of sites, particularly if you are not interested in relocating. No local sites. Your money also does not get you onto a number of key "paid sites' such as "Finance Ladders". I did not receive a single interview as a result of the Mckenzie Scott mailings, and have redone all the materials they sent me.

Verbruggen dismisses Armstrong allegations
(Reuters) - Former International Cycling Union (UCI) president Hein Verbruggen has dismissed claims by Lance Armstrong that he helped cover up a failed drugs test and says the disgraced American has made his life a misery.
Armstrong suggested last month that in 1999 when the Texan was on his way to winning his first Tour de France title, Verbruggen had helped cover-up a positive drugs test for corticosteroids by backdating a prescription for saddle sore cream.
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour titles and banned from cycling for life, having been accused by the United States Anti-Doping Agency of the "most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program sport has ever seen".
Verbruggen told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that Armstrong was destroying his reputation, and also produced a report that he said proved there was no positive test to cover up because the findings in the test were the result of the legal cream.
"Never, ever would I have had a conversation saying, 'We have to take care of this'," the Dutchman said.
"It might very well be that he or somebody else from the team has given me a call and my first reaction was, '... We had this Festina problem and now this'. But that's a very long way from concluding we have to do something about it.
"How can I take care of something that is known already by the laboratory, that is known already by the French Ministry (which conducted the test), that is known by the UCI, the anti-doping people at the UCI? It's ridiculous."
Armstrong had alleged that he discussed the positive test with the Dutchman, who had said it was a "knockout punch" for the sport after the Festina team were kicked off the Tour the previous year, and that they needed to "come up with something".
Verbruggen said Armstrong was destroying his reputation. Continued...

As part of its fervent commitment to making sure local people receive the best possible public services, R.D. Jukes & Co. Ltd. a long established reputable company approached Dextra Lighting, as one of their preferred suppliers, to assist in a major LED upgrade for Hillcrest School and Community College. The comprehensive school educates over 1000 pupils and also functions as a teaching college, delivering the best results for its students, their parents and the wider community. As a result, the local council was determined to optimise the energy and maintenance efficiency of the school by investing in precision-engineered LED lighting, allowing the establishment to operate in a green and cost-effective way, whilst providing lighting suitable for a modern learning environment.
The Hillcrest School relighting project included a number of classrooms, laboratories and corridors. The brief required the original T5 fluorescent lighting to be replaced by a completely redesigned, energy efficient LED installation that would satisfy the both the practical and aesthetic needs of the client.
In order to design an effective lighting scheme, knowledge of the different tasks in classrooms or work areas is important, as each activity requires its own light conditions. With this in mind, the versatile Revox LED luminaire, with its range of lumen outputs, was selected for both the classrooms and laboratories. The luminaire's lower 4400 lumen option was installed in the classrooms, comfortably providing the required 300 to 350 Lux levels for quotidian teaching environments. The science labs, on the other hand, were fitted with the higher lumen package of 6600lm to achieve the recommended light level of 500 Lux for science related tasks. In both scenarios, the necessary light levels were achieved whilst successfully maintaining both aesthetic continuity and a high uniformity of fittings throughout. Students and teachers now benefit greatly from a lighting solution that supports them optimally in performing their activities.
Beyond the flexibility offered by its range of lumen outputs, the Revox LED's performance is boosted by a combination of the latest Philips LED sources and Dextra's high transmission microprism panels, offering a high light output ratio, excellent efficiency and minimal maintenance. In situations where maintenance is required, the luminaire's hinged carrier is easily accessible through a practical twist lock system.
In addition to efficiency, the Revox LED offers an attractively designed steel housing, powder painted in white, with curved satine blend injected moulded wings, making it suitable for a variety of school, office or meeting room applications.
A bespoke integral sensor housing is also incorporated in this luminaire to accommodate an optional mini head sensor providing presence detection, daylight regulation and remote control function. The Revox LED can be supplied with all common dimming control gear types such as: HFR, Switch, DSI and Dali, to ensure compatibility with building management systems, sensor controls and wall mounted dimming switches. When used in combination, these lighting controls can offer drastic reductions in energy consumption.
Available in recessed or semi-recessed versions, the Revox LED is designed for easy lay in or pull up installation, making it highly adaptable to a range of ceiling types.
In the school's corridors, the Graduate Recessed LED was installed in a 4800 lumen capacity and distributed at 3.6m spacings to achieve the required 200Lux light level for the area. Thanks to the wide selection of options singular to the Graduate Recessed LED, the corridor space was enhanced through a uniform distribution of fittings, offering optimum light coverage with no traces of light pooling
Available in 600mm x 600mm, or 1200mm x 600mm sized fittings and an extremely wide spectrum of output packages ranging from 3500lm to as far as 14,400lm, the Graduate Recessed LED is a highly versatile luminaire, equally effective for retrofitting projects or newly designed LED upgrade solutions.
Manufactured in a white powder painted steel housing with precoat aluminium white gull-wing reflectors, the Graduate Recessed LED features a robust yet aesthetically pleasing construction, perfectly suited to a variety of decors and environments.
The Graduate Recessed LED's excellent performance is owed to a superb combination of high quality LEDs and a prismatic opal extruded diffuser, which help provide an optimum light output ratio whilst operating at a L2 compliant luminaire efficacy of 60 Llm/W.
Installation was made cost and time effective thanks to the luminaire's lay in version, which greatly facilitated fitting in the corridors' suspended ceiling grids.
The Graduate Recessed LED is compatible with Dextra's wide range of dimming and sensor controls to maximise performance and energy savings. At present, the Graduate Recessed LED is also available with air handling; a unique feature amongst Dextra Lighting's LED modular range, allowing the luminaire to be efficiently integrated with a building's BMS or air-con system.
The results of the LED upgrade were received extremely positively by R.D. Jukes & Co. Ltd., Hillcrest School, and Dudley Council. Thanks to Dextra Lighting's bespoke LED luminaires, lessons can now be held in purpose lit environments operating at a fraction of the power load, while the corridors have been transformed into welcoming and better illuminated spaces. Dudley Council can rest assured that the new sustainable lighting scheme will not only result in significant financial paybacks, but that their investment will also be covered by Dextra's 5 year warranty for extra peace of mind.
