Younger Adults, Women More Likely to Consider or Attempt Suicide
Nearly 8.3 million U.S. adults ages 18 and older thought seriously about committing suicide in the past year, according to the first national scientific survey of its size about this problem.
The study, by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), also shows that 2.3 million adult Americans made a suicide plan in the past year and that 1.1 million adults--4).5 percent of all adult Americans--actually attempted suicide.
Young adults ages 18 to 25 were far more likely to have seriously considered suicide in the past year than those ages 26 to 49 (6.7 percent versus 3.9 per cent) and nearly three times more likely than those 50 or older (2.3 percent). These disparities in risk levels among younger and older adults also were found in suicide planning and suicide attempts.
Substance use disorders were associated with an increase in the risk of seriously considering, planning or attempting suicide. People experiencing substance abuse disorders within the past year were more than three times as likely to have seriously considered committing suicide as those who had not experienced a substance abuse disorder (11. …

Safety always comes first when it comes to your kids, which is why Tehama County CHP has partnered up with Tehama County Public Health to offer classes on car seat safety.
Tehama County CHP said they see it all the time, people putting in a car seat completely the wrong way.
"Most car seats, I hate to say it are not installed properly," said Officer Phillip Mackintosh. "Most parents intend to do it right, but car seats can be complicated. Sometimes you need to understand some basic principles to make good choices about car seats."
Tehama County CHP said its crucial for the public to know how to install a car seat, since traffic collisions are one of the leading causes of death for kids.
CHP offered these tips:
- A car seat should move less than an inch side to side, the tighter the better.
- All seats don't fit all cars the same so before using one try it out in your car to see if it's a perfect match.
- Registering your car seat is recommended just in case model is recalled, they can contact you.
- Children under the age of two should be rear facing .
- Children eight years of age and under or 4 feet 9 inches tall or under should always be in a car seat.
CHP said the cost of a ticket for not having a proper car seat can be $445 or more.
The classes are free and they happen the fourth Thursday of every month. Income- qualified families are eligible to purchase a car seat for $25.
Classes are limited.
For more information you can contact the Tehama County Public Health: (530) 527-6824 or e-mail email@example.com

Pelley back in Devils' lineup tonight; Zharkov out; Fraser or Salmela will play Saturday in Carolina
Forward Rod Pelley will be back in the Devils' lineup tonight against Chicago. Vladimir Zharkov will sit in his place.
That will be the only lineup change.
Devils coach Jacques Lemaire said that Dainius Zubrus, who left practice early Thursday because he was ill, is feeling better today and will play tonight.
"He feels much better and he feels he will be able to play," Lemaire said.
Pelley has been in and out of the lineup lately. He was a healhy scratch for two in ar wow and three out of four after playing in eight in a row.
"It is a little difficult at times, but I think the coaches do a good job of keeping you ready as far as practices go and after practice work and before practice work," Pelley said. "Just the line of communication between the players and coaching staff is good, so it makes it a little bit easier. Just as long as you're performing and doing your side of the job, it's part of it."
Pelley practice Thursday at right wing on the line with Pierre-Luc Letourne-Leblond at left wing and Dean McAmmond at center. Although he is a natural centerman, for now he's become almost exclusively a wing and has fit in pretty well there.
"I don't see me going back to center any time soon," Pelley said. "We've got four strong centers right now. Maybe some time in the future (he'll play center), but I think it's always good to have a bit of versatility. If something happens, you're always a true centerman at heart."
Lemaire said that either Mark Fraser or Anssi Salmela will play Saturday in Carolina. He did not say which would play or which defenseman will sit Saturday.
Lemaire said he wants to not only rest one of the top six, but also make sure that Fraser and Salmela are ready to play if needed in the playoffs.
Both Fraser and Salmela were told to be ready to play Saturday, but neither knew if they would definitely will be in the lineup.
Fraser said he was told to "be prepared." Fraser has been a healthy scratch for the last eight games and 11 of the last 13 after playing in 55 in a row.
He admitted it has been difficult.
"The toughest part is just to stay sharp," he said. "You can keep working out and skating as much as you want, but it's lot different than game shape and also staying mentally prepared. That's probably one of the hardest things after you're been out of the lineup a little bit. You start to slip a little from the high intensity that comes with the games. So, you really have to try to stay sharp in both of those ways because you know you can be called at any moment."
Left wing Jay Pandolfo will be a healthy scratch the third consecutive game and for the sixth time in seven games. He said he has been given no indication of when he might get back in the lineup.

Two different types of Ethernet cables can be used with the S-4000 Digital Snake. The type of cable you use will depend on your setup.
Though the two cable types look the same, the RJ45 plugs are wired differently, as follows:
It's important to understand the differences between these cable types, because they can't be used interchangeably when making REAC connections. The basic principles you need to know when connecting REAC devices are as follows:

Cancer Drug Tested on Dogs Slated for Human Trials
An anti-cancer drug for dogs is being tested at the University of Illinois and it's showing some promise.
Chemistry Professor Paul Hergenrother developed the drug compound known as PAC-1 in 2005 and has been testing it since then. Now the professor is getting ready to find out if the drug works on humans. The drug essentially causes cancer cells to self-destruct.
Phil Meyer of Springfield believes his golden retriever, Blaze, likely lived with cancer a year or year and a half longer than she otherwise would have because of the drug.
Human trials will be conducted on patients with brain cancer.

I was going to mention replacing Tom Houseworth, but I thought I would be crucified here.
From what I understand, his crew does not have the experience to tune a GP bike.
I remember an article stating that in WSB they were doing adjustments in 50mm increments, in GPs they are doing 5mm increments and getting more significant changes.
Seems like they haven't gotten the grasp of making predictable adjustments on the machine.

The company encourages people to provide praise when they see someone doing something right. But constructive criticism is also important in building self-esteem. Bresler said:
"You know why constructive criticism is one of the best ways to build up self-esteem? It's because ultimately the single best way to feel good about yourself is to do a better job. And the best way to do a better job is to get good coaching and criticism so that you know not only what not to do, but also what to do."
The Men's Wearhouse emphasizes feedback that is behaviorally specific, focused on actions and behaviors that can change. This is, of course, a sensible approach because it makes the feedback actionable.
It is, however, frequently violated in many other companies' performance appraisal and performance management systems in which characteristics -- such as conscientiousness, intelligence, and being personable -- rather than specific behaviors and actions become the focus of attention and evaluating. Below are some elements of the Men's Wearhouse performance review for both wardrobe consultants and store managers.
We present this material in some detail not because most readers are managing retail stores, but because it is a wonderful example of one company's ability to develop a list of specific actions necessary for success and to implement and continually refine a performance management process that is focused on these specific behaviors.

Once upon a time there lived a man who had nine little boys. Each of the nine little boys had a pair of red stockings. They were real nice little boys, and from Boston, too, which is supposed to be something particularly nice, they say. How pretty they were with their smiling, bright, and shiny, well scrubbed little faces, just looking so eager to be loved.
Now these nine nice little red-stockinged boys played baseball together every day. Of course they didn't really play baseball, and they didn't really play together, but their daddy loved them anyway and their friends love them anyway, and their nine big cousins from New York City loved them more than anyone else.
Daddy and his friends just knew that in one more year the nine little red-stockinged boys would certainly be just the very best baseball team in the whole wide world. Every year they would say this, but, alas, the years went by and it just never seemed to happen that way, and they were such nine little boys and so disappointed.
Then Daddy would cry, and their friends would cry, and the nine little red-stockinged boys would cry most of all. (Except for one who would much rather go fishing, anyway.)
Meanwhile, back in New York City, their nine big cousins just went on living happily ever after, because, you see, they were really the very best baseball team in the whole wide, wide world, and they didn't even live in Boston.
Around 1957 or so I clipped this article from the newspaper and carried it around with me until it nearly fell to pieces. At that time I transcribed it. Alas, it was before I learned how important it was to document my sources so I cannot provide a proper citation. I'm inclined to say that I cut it out of the Concord Daily Monitor when I was visiting my Grandmother in Loudon, New Hampshire.
In the 15th week of "52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History" bloggers were encouraged to write about their favorite childhood sports team. I did that and if you are so inclined you can read about that on My Family Research blog.

Report Bullying, Harassment, or Discrimination of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Students
Have you experienced bullying, harassment, or discrimination in school?
You are not alone. According to GLSEN, approximately 85% of high school students report being harassed in school because of their real or perceived sexual orientation and 64% of students report being harassed for being too masculine or too feminine. Even more troubling, only 18% of LGBT students report that their schools have policies which offer comprehensive protections.
Reporting is simple and confidential.
Start here:
What is Title IX, and how does it apply to this effort?
What you need to know: The basics of filing a bullying, harassment, or discrimination report with the Office for Civil Rights.
What will happen when I file a report?
Go to the and file a report now. Office of Civil Rights website
Examples of student, parent and teacher claims.
Do you know someone who has experienced bullying, harassment, or discrimination because of sexual orientation or gender identity?
Clearly, many school communities are in desperate need for a way to address bullying, harassment and discrimination of LGBT students. Without adequate statewide protections, what can we – the members of school communities across the nation - do about protecting the rights of LGBT students?
We can take action to ensure that reports are being collected to make the case for laws and policies that will address this issue.
The information that can be collected from the reports is a critical first step in getting the tools to create change. We need your help in this important educational and advocacy effort.
Need a resource for your school or youth group? Download the Claim Your Rights Fact Sheet to pass around this important information.
Need a resource for your school administration? Download the Claim Your Rights Admin Letter and the Claim Your Rights Fact Sheet and give administrators the tools they need to follow these policies.

From fewer immunizations to classrooms without teachers aides for children with disabilities, Washington state could feel the reduction of millions of dollars of federal aid if Congress can't reach a budget compromise, a White House report released Sunday says.
Unless Congress acts by Friday, a series of automatic budget cuts, called sequestration in D.C. budget-speak, will take effect, adding up to $85 billion nationally over the course of the remaining fiscal year, through September.
The Senate is to consider bills this week that would avoid the cuts. Meanwhile, the White House on Sunday released the list of potential budget reductions, state by state, as part of its stepped-up campaign to prod Congress to act.
Some state agencies that rely heavily on federal funding would be particularly hard hit.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- Dead whale found on bow of cruise ship in Alaska

"My budget is 53 percent federal, and the amount of state and local dollars has also declined," Mary Selecky, secretary of the state Department of Health, said Sunday.
The cuts would mean a more than 8 percent reduction in her agency's funding, or $22 million in a department that has already seen a 38 percent cut in state money over the past six years, Selecky said.
Under an analysis prepared by her agency, about half of the new round of federal cuts would come out of food and nutrition programs for infants and pregnant women.
Cuts in federal immunization funding could also mean that 4,451 fewer kids receive vaccinations. Other core services, from breast- and cervical-cancer screening to inspections of health-care facilities and drinking-water protection, would be reduced.
Selecky said public-health budgets are already so tight that further reductions would put people's health at risk. "Bugs don't know boundaries, and they don't know political parties, or that our budget is tight," she said.
Other reductions in Washington state outlined by the White House include:
• $11.6 million for primary and secondary education, putting 160 teacher and aide jobs at risk. An $11.3 million reduction would jeopardize the jobs of 140 teachers, aides and staff working with children with disabilities.
In addition, around 440 fewer low-income students would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college, and about 1,000 children would be cut from Head Start and Early Head Start services.
• $3.3 million to help ensure clean water and air, and to prevent pollution from pesticides and hazardous waste. In addition, Washington could lose $924,000 in grants for fish and wildlife protection.
• Furloughs for 29,000 civilian Department of Defense workers that would reduce gross pay by
$173.4 million. Army base operation funding would be cut $124 million.
• About $271,000 in grants that support law enforcement, courts, crime prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, and crime victim and witness initiatives.
• $661,000 for job-search assistance, referral and placement. Up to 800 disadvantaged and poor children could lose access to child care, and $1 million could be lost for meals to seniors.
Not mentioned by the White House was money to clean up the Hanford nuclear reservation, where last week six tanks holding radioactive material were found to be leaking. The budget cuts could lead to up to 1,000 cleanup workers facing furloughs of up to six weeks, the state says.
"Our concern is anything that slows down cleanup," said Dieter Bohrmann, spokesman for the nuclear-waste program at the state Department of Ecology. "We need to keep progressing and avoid further delays, especially with the news of additional leaking tanks."
The list from the White House includes other possible cuts nationally, including reductions for health research through the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, as well as cuts in aviation safety, air traffic control and security. The White House did not say how those cuts would affect the state.
The looming cuts are the result of failed attempts by Congress and President Obama to tame the federal budget deficit, beginning back in 2011. The automatic cuts now facing the country are just the start of more than $1 trillion in across-the-board reductions that would be imposed on domestic and military spending over the next 10 years.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said on ABC's "This Week" that the worst of the cuts could be alleviated with some flexibility. "We can get all through this," he said. "The best way to do it is just allow flexibility."
White House spokesman Jay Carney has insisted for weeks that the agencies have no flexibility. Administration officials did not respond to questions Sunday about whether they would support a change in law to gain flexibility.
Some analysts outside government said they are optimistic a compromise budget solution would be reached before long, mitigating or at least redirecting the cuts.
"My suspicion is this is a game of poker. People in Congress will step up to the plate," Anthony Chan, chief economist for JPMorgan Chase's wealth-management service, said in an interview Friday.
He's not worried if Congress can't reach a deal right away. "It's not the end of the world if it takes a couple weeks, a couple months," he said.
The combination of sequestration, higher payroll taxes and the "fiscal-cliff" deal reached by Congress late last year will shave
1.5 percentage point off the U.S. economy's growth in 2013, Chan said, but that's not reason for panic.
The important thing, he said, is for Congress to reach a deal that will eliminate the pall of uncertainty looming over American businesses and holding back their decisions to invest and hire.
Even if the spending cuts produce short-term job losses, the Seattle metro area is outperforming the national average in job growth, Chan said. The area saw 2.9 percent annual job growth in 2012, compared with
1.6 percent nationally.
Construction, manufacturing and the leisure-and-hospitality industries were responsible for a huge part of the area's job growth. Chan said those numbers, along with a rebound in housing values here and nationally, indicate the nation's economy is coming back.

Design projects are often the most remembered, most fun experiences for engineering students.
Course-Based Design Projects
For EE and CPE students, design projects are woven throughout the curriculum. Following the introduction of simple design problem solving in the first ECE courses, students design increasingly complex devices and systems. EE students are required to take one design-intensive "capstone design" course during their senior year. CPE students are required to take two "design technical electives."
Integrated Design Courses
Under the new integrated design model, ECE seniors can enroll in two-semester, project-based courses. Options include: Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team, IEEE Robotics Team, satellite design, and radio frequency spectrum sensing.
Autonomous Mastery Prototyping (AMP) Lab
The Autonomous Mastery Prototyping (AMP) Lab provides space for ECE students to work on personal projects. The lab offers mentorship, soldering certification, and free materials. Students' recent projects include an autonomous ground vehicle, a laser harp, and a smartphone facial recognition system.
Extra-Curricular Design Projects
The ECE faculty encourages all students to complete extracurricular design projects. There are many opportunities for ECE students to participate in electrical and computer engineering design competitions or join multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Design Project Examples
The VT IEEE Hardware Team designs and programs robots to participate in obstacle course missions at the annual IEEE SoutheastCon hardware competition.

So, I was wandering through the supermarket with my housemate last week and saw one of those instant packets of Japanese Curry mixes. I bought one, thinking that I would never use it, but really, I felt lazy today.
Well, I don't know about degrees of lazy. There is the whole walking-past-a-jap-take-out-store-and-getting-curry type of lazy and the use-a-packet-mix lazy. I was the latter, mainly because I felt the need to cook, but not to go to too much effort.
I know, I know…I'm annoying.
Still, I managed to make a tofu curry and get my weeks worth of monosodium glutamate in one hit, so I am up for the week.
Packet curry, oh yeah.
Serves 5
Brown rice
1 onion, diced
a handful of mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
4 carrots, cut into even chunks
1 head of broccoli, stem cut into chunks and florets kept aside
1 packet of Golden Curry mix
Firm tofu, cut into half centimetre slices
Wash your rice and place in the rice cooker with water. Don't forget to turn this on or you'll have your curry with no rice. I have done this on so many occasions on where I have to cook rice. Yes, I am human, and arrogant. Who would have thought?
In a pot, add some oil and fry off the onion with the mushrooms on a medium heat. After a few minutes, add the carrot and some salt, turn the heat up and put the lid on. After about five minutes, add the broccoli stem and water to cover and inch over the vegetables. Cook for about ten to fifteen minutes or till the carrots are soft.
When the rice is a minute from being done, add the broccoli florets to the rice cooker to steam. I only do this so I have one less thing to wash. Yes, lazy.
Then, heat a pan on high and fry off the tofu to your desired doneness. Depending on my mood, sometimes I like it just warm and charred on the outside, to being quite crispy. Salt it.
Add the curry mix to the pot of cooked vegetables by crumbling it in and stirring till it thickens.
Then, serve in a bowl. I kind of wish I had lotus root pickles, but hey, I am satisfied.
Obviously your vegetables can change here, but this is just what I had.
So, so lazy.
