I heard that speed had upgraded the cameras and the trucks for trackside to HD equipment. although they still don't broadcast in HD. Is this true?

I "think" JD and another site has announced SPEED will be HD by SPEEDWEEKS at Daytona IIRC
If I recall correctly.

I know that, but I heard they made upgrades at the speed stage already, before 2008.

I just realized that I had a blog account so I can stop being one of those anoy. people. Show going well so far except for that brief camera movement when focused on Hammond early in the show

new race fan
i had forgotten I had a blog as I started one and then stopped it as I found it hard to navigate. Got a gmail account (for part time use) and when I went to a local newspaper writers blog was SHOCKED to see SOPHIA in blue.
Came here, the same thing.
What I want to know is how do you get your name in BLACK HERE?
I must say it was nice to see Clint on here and I missed part of JK interview. Wish he could've finished the race tonhigt.
These guys do have such a good time here...but I just gotta comment on the goat tee thing on Hammond.
That's all I am saying....

I just learned we can delete our own comments here.
I am glad these guys reminded me of the last ARCA race on Sunday. Saw Schrader win in Toledo last year. :-)

I don't like it when they interview non Nascar people but then I do not watch other sports so it might just be me. The guys still seem to have fun though. I think the blue has to do with the fact that you are a google blogger it's actually a link to a profile which most people leave blank

Trackside always seems to go until the the last minute sometimes I am not sure it over

I have to agree, why was this football guy on? I started channel surfing as I am only into NASCAR or IRL sometimes. I tapdance around F1 to know who Hamilton and Alonso and Massa are...
I guess there was a NASCAR connection with the football guy?? but it did not interest me.
And I could HEAR the guys tonight...crowd wasnt as loud as some.

They do this with celebrities who attend the race. Last year at Joliet Steve Williams, the caddy for golfer Tiger Woods, appeared on the show. Williams is a Valvoline-sponsored dirt-track racer in the summer (New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere, remember) who even had Woods appear in a celebrity dirt track race for his wedding week. Of course, if Woods plays a tournament or two in Australia, there will be Valvoline in his Holden, since his caddy endorses it.

Did you ever notice how many of these other-sports folks have discovered how easy it to become a former Truck, Busch, or Cup owner?
Gee, that racing stuff looks like fun. I think I'l buy me a team. How hard could it be?

Author of the novel Chosen
I am coming to the end of my two week tour of the West Coast, primarily consisting of book clubs where I have enjoyed being the guest author, an appearance at Powells and more notably now, thirteen straight days of single parenting and taking our homeschooling show on the road.
Today we got to the beach in Oxnard as the marine layer burned off over the Channel Islands. A pod of porpoises came in to the final breakpoint and cut through huge breaking waves right in front of us and a sea lion cruised by, his eyes on ours, not ten feet away. Amazing. I was content to stand and take in the vastness of the ocean, the clear canvas of cool grays and blues, sea and sky with my pantlegs rolled up so the saltwater and sand could exfoliate three days of flipflops at Disneyland grime off my feet. But serenity was short-lived as I quickly found myself locked in a struggle to inspire healthy respect for the ocean in my fearless just-turned-nine-year-old who is starting to think he might know better than me in most areas, including water safety.
The surf was breaking loud and variable, huge cross currents converging in front of us and surfers, grown-ups in wetsuits, were being ripped off their boards which came at us, unleashed, in the shallow whitewater like broad javelins. I watched as one stand-up paddler had a wave double his full height swell and break over him and I got nervous. I looked around the beach for other swimmers, families, kids, and found nobody but the most die-hard surfers and a few dog walkers and fishermen. This was not Cayman with its mellow aqua water or the Jersey Shore with its ubiquitous lifeguards and their whistles.
But Hayden, who couldn't get enough of the Disney rollercoasters and thrill rides from his newly acquired height of 48 inches screamed an enthusiastic "YEAH!" and ripped his shirt off, throwing it back towards the beach in preparation.
I wished for J to be there, more experienced with the ocean when it was dark and ominous, a veteran surfer, windsurfer and kiteboarder, someone who had stared down waves bigger than these in Baja and out at the main channel. I wanted another grown up, my coparent, to assess the situation, to help me guide our son. I even thought briefly of taking a video clip and emailing it to him, then calling him for a bi-coastal parental consultation, because this is what being the giddy owner of a fancy new iPhone does to you...
"Just up to your knees, Haybes," I said lamely, feeling every bit like the nervous nelly dad Marlin in Finding Nemo with his suggestions that his son play on the spongebeds with the toddler fish.
And still Hayden jerked his bare shoulder out from under my restricting hand and plowed out into the foaming water.
"Haybes, wait," I faltered.
I looked to the only other adult nearby, a surfer about my age who was surveying the waves. I was preparing to ask if he knew the currents here well, and would he let his kid in the water, but he was already jogging ahead toward Hayden, yelling over the roar of the water for him to stop, and for this guy, Haybes did. He listened as this stranger told him that this area was too dangerous for swimming, that there were still decent waves but less current a few hundred yards off, down by the jetty.
Blushing from being spoken to by a stranger, Hayden sulked back to me and his younger siblings, their arms snaked around my thighs, giving me a grouchy thump with his shoulder as he passed, kicking up sand. I stood there equally chagrinned--how come I hadn't stood my ground earlier when everything in me was saying this was more surf than he could handle? The thing is, I want my kids to have fun--my backpack is crammed with a testimony of receipts to waterparks, themeparks, carnivals, zoos, helitours and science centers all to this end. And here we are at the largest ocean in the world! What could be more fun than the ocean?! Except, of course, when it looks and sounds like a hungry, roaring predator, anxious to swallow up my kids forever like Pinnochio's Monstro. (Sorry for the second Disney reference in one post--I was just 'experiencing the magic' for the last three days. Might need a brain scrub.)
So I thanked the surfer and shepherded my kids down the beach to the suggested place where the waves looked more like Cayman when a Northwester blows in, decent surf, but predictable, waves that come in straight, break and go out. I let the boys wade in and get tumbled in the chilly water. Max took a few spins in the break, got some sandburn on his shoulders and abandoned body surfing for beachcombing but Hayden stayed in until he was blue-lipped, shrieking with joy and taunting, waggling his surf-shorted bum at the waves that rolled in and summarily took him down.
I stayed crouched at the edge of the water, half my attention on Piper as she doodled in the sand behind me, eyes darting to Max drifting down the water's edge at a comfortable distance from the reaching fingers of the waves, but ready to rush for Hayden should he not surface quickly enough. Letting him bodysurf in the Pacific, build memories and feel that exhilarating pull of the water's power, trying not to think about all of J's aunt's stories about people who have drowned here at this very beach, experienced swimmers, kayakers, surfers, adults, children... Keeping these stories to myself because I don't want him to grow up afraid, but I also can't let him set all the boundaries.
As my kids get older, I feel like I am struggling between hovering and hands off, between choosing for them, and letting go. Last week on our Santa Monica beach ride, Max insisted on leaving the hotel room wearing flip flops instead of the shoes I suggested for bike riding. Surprise; as we pedaled along the waterfront he had to stop, exasperated, several times to retrieve a lost flip. I managed to keep the 'I told you so' to a mere two times. (Okay, three.) But flip flops vs. sneakers was a choice I was okay with letting him make. In Disneyland, Hayden informed me that my insistence that WOMEN on the restroom door meant "Moms and Kids" didn't fly, and he would be using the MENS room from now on. Okay with that one too... Sort of. Yes. Okay. He's nine. I'm right outside. It's freaking Disneyland.
But today, the height of the surf, the force of the water, that audible clap as waves broke--today I made the unpopular choice, and we found something that reeked of compromise. I never fully relaxed on the beach and Hayden's eyes kept drifting longingly down to the surfers and their rides on waves triple the height of his, you know, over here on the spongebeds. With his mom watching him. If you know Hayden, then you understand that the idea that other people are having fun, more fun than him, it's torture.
Today I think I made the right choice. Anyway, we're here in our cute little Mexican-themed motel room, him snoring safely away, his resentment receding like the tides. But I also know we will meet this situation with increasing frequency. Just me and Hayden, facing off in front of the dangerous bass thump and thrilling allure of something so much bigger than us both, no lifeguard on duty.

What was the first message sent across the first version of email (and what was it supposed to be)? Who was the first reigning monarch online? These questions and more are answered in A People's History Of The Internet.
Celebrating the "40th anniversary of the first stirrings of the internet," the British Guardian newspaper asked its readers to send in their experiences of online life, and used the response to create what it calls an "interactive people's history" of the world wide web from 1969 until today. Full of trivia and truth, it's accompanied by a series of articles about the history of the internet. Go and see why we should maybe consider YouTube more than just a source of timewasting amusement, every now and then.

Saying he didn't want to increase taxes, Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday rejected a proposal to let East Peoria and Morton raise their local hotel tax rates by a single percentage point, to 6 percent.
Saying he didn't want to increase taxes, Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday rejected a proposal to let East Peoria and Morton raise their local hotel tax rates by a single percentage point, to 6 percent.
"I recognize and appreciate the hard work of the sponsors in passing this legislation," Blagojevich wrote in a message accompanying his veto of Senate Bill 2676. "However, I cannot sign this legislation because it raises taxes on consumers."
Sen. David Koehler, D-Peoria, was the lead Senate sponsor of the bill, and he said Tuesday that he plans to seek an override of the governor's veto.
To accomplish that, he will need 36 votes in the Senate and 71 in the House of Representatives. Overriding a veto requires three-fifths approval from each chamber.
That might prove to be a tough task. When the legislature passed the bill in the spring, the Senate vote was 38-14 and the House vote was 64-48.
Peoria-area lawmakers say the legislation, sought by the Peoria Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, is important to central Illinois' tourism promotion and economic development. Brent Lonteen, president and chief executive officer of the bureau, has worked with local officials to try to ensure that Peoria, East Peoria, Pekin, Morton and Washington have uniform hotel tax rates.
Peoria's rate already is 6 percent. Lonteen has said that raising the rates in the other communities would generate about $150,000 in extra revenue to invest in tourism marketing.
Because East Peoria and Morton are non-home-rule communities, they would need state government's authorization to increase their hotel tax rates beyond 5 percent. The other three communities are home-rule entities and can do it on their own.
Even if the legislation eventually becomes law, the East Peoria City Council and the Morton Village Board still would need to vote to increase their hotel tax rates before any changes could take effect.
Lonteen said Tuesday night that he had "kind of expected" the governor's veto because he has a track record of spurning anything that even remotely hints at a tax increase.
"This wasn't a tax increase, though," he said. "This was a permissive bill."
Blagojevich also changed several other pieces of legislation Tuesday, some in significant ways.
Blagojevich is trying again to require insurance companies to cover autism disorders for children age 21 and younger. He had put that language in a House bill in July but lawmakers didn't act on the change, so the bill died. Now he's trying the same approach on another House bill.
Blagojevich inserted language requiring the State Board of Education to provide food allergy guidelines to schools and requiring schools to then implement policies for managing students with life-threatening food allergies by January 2010.
The governor also expanded medical discounts for many uninsured people, offered more credit or housing counseling notice to homeowners with delinquent loans and limited a proposed requirement about newspaper publishing of premiums in the state's AllKids health insurance program.

Sometimes you have to read between the lines. And then there are times when the message is right out there in front of you.
The Miami Heat announced that Alonzo Mourning has been named the team's new vice president of player programs. Sounds good until you check his duties: support and mentoring players and helping them develop on and off the court.
In short, keep Michael Beasley out of rehab and off Twitter. We don't envy you, Zo.
U.S. & World
Sure the Heat has a bunch of young players, but you can bet Zo won't leave Beasley's side, even during SpongeBob marathons.
The made up position is really just to make official what Zo has been doing for years in the organization. Zo has done a great job as mentor to Dwyane Wade, but this undoubtedly will be his biggest task.
You can bet those muscles will be put to the test wrestling Beasley away from his action figures or making him wake up earlier than 2 p.m. to make training camp meetings next week.
Pat Riley has hitched his last ride on Beasley much like he did when he brought Zo to Miami decades ago. And despite it only being Beasley's sophomore season, this might be the make or break year for the prodigy.
So you can't blame Riles for making Zo his ultimate insurance policy to make sure Beasley doesn't fall.

A Vocab Lesson
Tara tells us what two words should never, ever be used when speaking to a woman.
Wow! Was tonight's episode an absolute whirlwind or what? I'm still trying to catch my breath. Just when I start forgetting life's craziness, I watch a new episode and am instantly reminded of the wonderful insanity in our lives.
And on the topic of "crazy," I just have to say that I am so glad Drew and I rescued the sweet pup we decided to name Elliot. I can't describe my feelings when we save a life…I'm just so grateful and proud that my charity Paws in the City could save Elliot's life with his much-needed heartworm treatment.
From Elliot's case, you can see that it is extremely expensive to provide quality medical treatment for our rescues, so I always try to create new and unique ways to fundraise for these needy animals. That's why I always stretch my creativity, because I know that lives of dogs and cats are in the balance; the more we raise, the more we save.
Now while I try to be as creative as I can be, I have to say that I would have never guessed that dog jewelry would have been such a hit! So thank you, Amber Venz! She was an absolute sweetheart to create such amazing matching jewelry for dogs and their "dog parents." It was Amber's creativity plus our guests' wonderful generosity at my dear friend Angie Barrett's gorgeous home that created a wonderful event. So thank you to all involved.
In the vein of everyone getting along, I was so happy that Drew and Matt were able to work through their differences at my party. Honestly, those boys are (both) well over six feet, so if there had been some sort of altercation there is no way I could've stopped them from going over the balcony! Whew…disaster avoided and overall a great night.
Let me wrap up with a note on a little ugliness from tonight, and guys take note -- there are two words that you never (ever) call a woman, and you know what those words are: "bitch" and "see you next Tuesday." I think my jaw hit the floor when I heard this, but I have to admit that Courtney did a way better job than I would have if someone called me that. I love my baby brother, Drew, but I would have probably launched him over the balcony. Listen up, Drew -- never under any circumstances call a woman either of those words! Just remove them from your vocabulary; life will be so much better that way, I promise.
I would love to hear your thoughts, so please follow me on Twitter @taraharper01 or www.taralharper.com. Xoxo!

Great stuff from rooboy. The term used in the Japanese on Video Research's site is a transliteration of "people meter," so I would be surprised if it was not exactly the same device as Nielsen uses. And the site does talk about measuring people as well as households, so I think people may log in in some way, too. So that would suggest that PVR'd shows are at least discounted in the ratings because an individual did not log in at the time they were on, or even not counted at all.
I didn't notice the VR site talking about ratings not equaling popularity, but for some reason it kept repeating that ratings do not equal quality. Duh.
And I like Destinyblade's point that most people seem to like "reality" (spurious as it may often be) in their shows, and anime deals a lot in fantasy. In fact, I myself don't think anime does reality very well, although others differ. NANA is the best fairly realistic show I can think of. The gritty mystery/adventure shows tend to fall flat for me. (Moonlight Mile is shaping up as an exception, by the way.)
And I also appreciate solomon's point that a lot of anime sticks in the otaku mold. I think SHnY and Simoun are great shows, but the first clearly uses a lot of otaku referents, and the second has yuri surface elements that put off a lot of anime-watchers, to say nothing of the general public.

Part of the problem is that the times listed at Mahou didn't match up with the ratings data. Mahou reports Bartender running on Sundays at 1:45 am, but in the ratings data it appears at 26:25 on Saturday. It wasn't obvious to me what a time like 26:25 on Saturday means; is it 2:25 am on Saturday, or 2:25 am on Sunday? In either case, it wasn't listed at 25:45 which I presume is what 1:45 am would translate to in this (somewhat-wacky) time scheme.
I really did try, but not having a reading knowlege of Japanese, and the fact that the sources didn't match, made this a more difficult task. Also the relationship between the network codes and the names of the networks isn't obvious either; for example, Fuji somehow becomes CX.
According to Mahou, Saiunkoku Monogatari aired on Saturday mornings at 9:00 am (!) on NHK/BS2 beginning on April 8, 2006. Only one show is listed in that time slot in the ratings data, one that translates to "Super star fleet [seiza] X" according to Google, which was shown on channel "TX" and had ratings for weeks prior to 4/8/06. There are other entries for NHK shows, with the code "NHK," but not one for SaiMono, I guess.
On ratings methods:
Back in the early to mid-80's I worked on a foundation-sponsored project to develop an alternative to "head-count" ratings based on viewers' opinions about the show they were watching, and their behavior while it was on. This is probably what Nielsen means by "popularity" in the material rooboy cites. These so-called "qualitative" ratings are used in many other countries, including Japan, but never caught on in the US. It's use in Japan is probably a reason for the ratings != popularity refrain to which Kaoru Chujo refers.
We could actually show that people were more likely to watch ads in programs to which they paid higher levels of attention, but advertisers weren't interested. Qualitative data on programs is still collected in the US by programmers, networks, and advertisers, but usually through broad surveys like roo suggests, not through a ratings instrument.
What did become the standard for "qualitative" information in the US, if you can call it that, is better demographics, especially via the "people meter." Ratings were traditionally collected at the household level with meters attached to every TV in the household. People meters include separate buttons for each household member who are supposed to "log in" when they start viewing and "log out" when they leave. Obviously this procedure raises considerable questions about the accuracy of the data, since it depends on the active cooperation of the viewers in the sampled households. There were a number of efforts to develop "passive" people meters that somehow would be able to sense which people were present in the room without active cooperation, but they always seemed to founder on tasks like differentiating between small children and large dogs! Nowadays we could probably just embed RFID tags in each person and let the meters detect those.
My guess, and it's only a guess, is that the numbers reported on the Geocities site are household figures and thus include DVR recordings as well as real humans. Making sure that ratings meters collect data from all viewing sources, including DVDs, games, etc., has been a high priority in the television research community for many years now.
Has anyone seen comparable figures for shows that run in [adult swim] in the US? What does something like Inuyasha or FLCL draw?

At the toonzone forums, they list the ratings every week. Adult Swim themselves broadcast the top 3 in a bumper normallly sometime during the week.
Big draws like bleach normally pull about 300K
When FMA was first running it pulled around 600K, then there was a large lull in it's run and huge dropoff in numbers
Inu Yasha also pulled 600K very regularly, i think even around a million viewers sometimes (if i can recall correctly)
In short though, adult swim anime is beaten out by it's comedy show ratings
Family Guy and Boondocks used to EASILY pull 1 million viewers, the anime numbers have really leveled off.

Inukami, Wulong, Haruhi, Utawarerumono TV Audience Ratings on TV Aichi, Nagoya, Japan
I could not find television audience ratings for the Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu animated series in the Kantou (Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, etc.) and Kansai regions (Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, etc.), as a whole, listed anywhere.
Someone last summer, however, did post on 2ch television audience ratings for four late night anime television series broadcasted on TV Aichi, Nagoya, Japan - including Suzumiya Haruhi. They reportedly got the data through the National Diet Library.
TV Aichi
1.3 1.2 1.9 1.3 1.9 1.7 1.4 0.9 1.5 1.9 1.5 1.3 1.0 1.9 Inukami!
1.2 1.1 1.5 *.* 1.4 1.6 1.2 0.8 1.3 1.9 *.* 1.4 0.7 2.1 [Kakutou Bijin] Wulong (Fighting Beauty Wulong)
1.0 0.9 1.7 1.4 1.2 0.9 1.0 0.7 1.0 1.8 1.0 1.4 1.1 2.3 [Suzumiya] Haruhi [no Yuuutsu] (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
1.0 0.8 1.5 0.4 1.1 0.6 0.5 0.2 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.5 0.3 *.* Utaware[rumono]
A 2ch poster observes, Nagoya (in the Chuubu region) is similar to the Kantou and Kansai regions, isn't it?

Good points, Seiji, but I have to point out one thing.
Meters (at least in the US) are smart enough to differentiate between when you're watching a show and when you're recording it on a DVR. The advertiser cares when you watch it, not when you record it. In that case, the ratings reflect when you watched it, not when it was recorded. It is possible that the Japanese system does not distinguish between the two, but the Nielsen has been collecting that information for years now, and prior to doing so, it didn't reflect DVR numbers at all (they were simply excluded).
Again, generally ratings that are given do not usually include the DVR (or at most they include Live + Same Day - not Live + Same Week). If they were including the other numbers, they almost always point out that those are the ratings they're displaying (and the time-frame involved). When a plain number is given, it's almost always Live and households (instead of demographics).
Now, onto the more interesting thing about what you said (your foundation work in the 80s). TiVOs actually have a feature where you can rate the programming (giving it up to three thumbs up or three thumbs down). I wish they could collate that information to try to get a more qualitative number.
Amusingly my television is on right now and nominally I'm "watching" it, but as you can probably tell from the length of my post - I may not be watching all that closely .

Really, as has been said, TV ratings are really quite inconsequential as a measure of overall anime series popularity for most shows.

Kouhaku, Sports, Miyazaki Draw High Japanese TV Ratings
According to Video Research Ltd., NHK's annual New Year's Eve special Kouhaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Contest), a number of sports events, and broadcast premieres of Miyazaki Hayao animated blockbusters typically receive among the highest television audience ratings in Japan.
When the soccer/football craze was presumably at its height in Japan, the television broadcast of the 2002 FIFA World Cup game between Japan and Russia on Fuji TV, Sunday, June 9, 2002, 8:00 PM - 10:54 PM (20:00 - 22:54) scored a television audience rating of 66.1% in the Kantou region of Japan.

Check out eggplant's posts in this thread for an idea of DVD sales in Japan. The post I've linked to shows how very successful Suzumiya Haruhi was on disk, for example. His following post shows that Code Geass started with a bang.

@ Nightengale Are you serious about the GSD recaps outselling Haruhi DVD's, I mean if thats true its both hilarious and kind of sad at the same time. Then again, nothing beats Gundam, like ever. Even the Zeta Gundam Compilation movies of a series made 22 years ago that nobody really remembers of which 3 DVDs were made, outsold Haruhi so it's not a fair comparison per se. If it counted as a TV series than they would be in second place ahead of GSD. Still what a weird world.

I'll say it again, I'm also really surprised to see Code Geass doing so darn well. I don't know how many more DVD's it has to sell of each volume, but its looking like it might start breaking some records soon enough and these DVD's are before the series really started to get going in terms of popularity.

Weren't they saying how Gurenn-Lagann's producers were being ridiculous if they were trying to compete with Pretty Cure? Since they're in the same timeslot on different stations (making Pretty Cure Gurenn-Lagann's 裏番組) and obviously Pretty Cure's going to win the eyeballs.
However it seems pretty obvious to me that they didn't really make it to rake in the kids but to grab the otakus - and to make it Imaishi's sandbox of sorts (having said that, I have yet to watch it. Or any of the Spring shows aside from Moribito.)
Reminds me a wee bit of Eureka 7, obviously no kids were bothering to watch it (and hell, if I were a kid I sure as hell wasn't going to get up at 7am to watch an anime unless I was an otaku-in-training or something). It was the otaku who drove the DVD sales and whatnot.

Bipolar Disorder
Full Episode
Myth or Medicine
Other Resources
(Source: Brain and Behavior Research Foundation) Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain and behavior disorder characterized by severe shifts in a person's mood and energy, making it difficult for the person to function. More than 5.7 million American adults or 2.6 percent of the population age 18 or older in any given year have bipolar disorder. The condition typically starts in late adolescence or early adulthood, although it can show up in children and in older adults. People often live with the disorder without having it properly diagnosed and treated.
What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder causes repeated mood swings, or episodes, that can make someone feel very high (mania) or very low (depressive). The cyclic episodes are punctuated by normal moods.
Mania episode signs and symptoms:
- Increased energy, activity, restlessness
- Euphoric mood
- Extreme irritability
- Poor concentration
- Racing thoughts, fast talking, jumping between ideas
- Sleeplessness
- Heightened sense of self-importance
- Spending sprees
- Increased sexual behavior
- Abuse of drugs, such as cocaine, alcohol and sleeping medications
- Provocative, intrusive or aggressive behavior
- Denial that anything is wrong
Depressive episode signs:
- Sad, anxious or empty-feeling mood
- Feelings of hopelessness and pessimism
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness and helplessness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed, including sex
- Decreased energy, fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
- Restlessness and irritability
- Sleeplessness or sleeping too much
- Change in appetite, unintended weight loss or gain
- Bodily symptoms not caused by physical illness or injury
- Thoughts of death or suicide
How is bipolar disorder diagnosed?
Bipolar disorder cannot yet be diagnosed physiologically by blood tests or brain scans. Currently, diagnosis is based on symptoms, course of illness, and family history. Clinicians rule out other medical conditions, such as a brain tumor, stroke or other neuropsychiatric illnesses that may also cause mood disturbance. The different types of bipolar disorder are diagnosed based on the pattern and severity of manic and depressive episodes. Doctors usually diagnose brain and behavior disorders using guidelines from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. According to the DSM, there are four basic types of bipolar disorder:
- Bipolar I Disorder is mainly defined by manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care. Usually, the person also has depressive episodes, typically lasting at least two weeks. The symptoms of mania or depression must be a major change from the person's normal behavior.
- Bipolar II Disorder is defined by a pattern of depressive episodes shifting back and forth with hypomanic episodes, but no full-blown manic or mixed episodes.
- Bipolar Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (BP-NOS) is diagnosed when a person has symptoms of the illness that do not meet diagnostic criteria for either bipolar I or II. The symptoms may not last long enough, or the person may have too few symptoms, to be diagnosed with bipolar I or II. However, the symptoms are clearly out of the person's normal range of behavior.
- Cyclothymic Disorder, or Cyclothymia, is a mild form of bipolar disorder. People who have cyclothymia have episodes of hypomania that shift back and forth with mild depression for at least two years. However, the symptoms do not meet the diagnostic requirements for any other type of bipolar disorder.
- Some people may be diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. This is when a person has four or more episodes of major depression, mania, hypomania, or mixed symptoms within a year.
How is bipolar disorder treated?
While no cure exists for bipolar disorder, it is treatable and manageable with psychotherapy and medications. Mood stabilizing medications are usually the first choice in medication. Lithium is the most commonly prescribed mood stabilizer. Anticonvulsant medications are usually used to treat seizure disorders, and sometimes offer similar mood-stabilizing effects as antipsychotics and antidepressants. Bipolar disorder is much better controlled when treatment is continuous. Mood changes can occur even when someone is being treated and should be reported immediately to a physician; full-blown episodes may be averted by adjusting the treatment.
In addition to medication, psychotherapy provides support, guidance and education to people with bipolar disorder and their families. Psychotherapeutic interventions increase mood stability, decrease hospitalizations and improve overall functioning. Common techniques include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and family therapy.
What is the difference between depression and bipolar disorder?
The main difference between bipolar disorder and major clinical depression is the presence of manic episodes. This is why depression alone is not enough to diagnose an individual with bipolar. However, one manic episode (meeting DMS-IV criteria) is sufficient to make a bipolar diagnosis.
Key Point 1
Bipolar disorder is a chemical disorder of the brain that causes mood shifts from mania to depression. It is a life altering illness for the person with the disorder and the family.
Key Point 2
While bipolar disorder can be a challenging, long-term condition, it is treatable. In most cases, it can be controlled by medication and psychotherapy, so making the diagnosis is important.

Intel: 'Haswell' Capable of Reducing Idle Power By As Much As 20 Times
Intel: 'Haswell' Capable of Reducing Idle Power By As Much As 20 Times
Intel has revealed some of the advancements made in power management for their upcoming 4th generation Intel Core processors. These new chips have been touted to reduce idle power by as much as twenty times due to new power optimization technology and improvements made to the 22nm Tri-Gate transistor.
Intel adopted a two-prong approach to reducing power consumption as it tackled both active and idle power usage. With the use of low-powered circuits, the active power consumption will improve battery life. In terms of idle power, Haswell's new low-power states (C8, C9 and C10) are made possible by the on-die integration of the voltage regulator, called the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator (FIVR), per CPU core. This allows for more "aggressive" power-down states to conserve battery life as well. This FIVR also allows for sleeker form factor devices due to its on-die integration to reduce space constraints from the motherboard side of things.
Intel also revealed the improvements made to its 3D Tri-gate transistors by reducing current leakage two to three times that of previous generation Intel Core "Ivy Bridge" processors. This results in transistors with lower minimum voltage capability, while retaining similar operating frequency capabilities. While the improved transistors enjoy the same minimum operating voltage, the processor, as a whole, operates at a lower voltage due to co-optimization of circuit processes. Intel has stated that certain Haswell processor SKUs are rated as low as just 7W - half the TDP of most of the ultra low voltage Ivy Bridge chips at present.
Due to Intel's collaboration efforts of teams from chip design and process technology, the fruits of their labor are the power management features of the Haswell processors. The ultimate beneficiary would be the consumer who will get to enjoy devices of new form factors with "Instant-On" responsiveness, and excellent battery life for up to 9 hours of enjoyment of HD content between device charges. (Intel hinted that Haswell based notebook platform should last through 3 Bollywood movies, which can typically last as long as three hours each, thus deriving the possibility of a 9-hour long battery life).
For such AV experience, the consumer would also be pleased to know that there will be three new integrated graphics engines for Haswell, each offering differing levels of graphics performance. However, not all Haswell processors will feature the new integrated graphics core. Another note of caution to consumers pertains to the connected standby feature of Haswell processors. Intel has stated that all 4th generation Intel Core processor have support for connected standby, but Intel's partner manufacturers are free to decide if the final Haswell-based device will actually support it. Hence, consumers are strongly advised to study the device specifications before they part with their monies in order to full enjoy the new and exciting features of the next generation Intel Core chips.

Eating for Two: No Pickles and Ice Cream for Me, Thanks Recipe
I've made it to the eighteenth week of pregnancy pretty much unaffected by three phenomena that turn life upside down for many expectant women: morning sickness, food aversions, and cravings. "I feel like I'm cheating!" I told my obstetrician last month. She told to count my lucky stars (and not to mention how great I felt to the other women in the waiting room), but I still felt like a fraud every time my friends and family kindly, concernedly asked how I was doing.
There were about two weeks in January when I had mild morning headaches and afternoon nausea. Instead of disappearing, however, my appetite increased. It was like having a slight hangover, just enough to make you feel a little loopy and put you in the mood for a big brunch; I'd treat it with ginger ale, white rice, peanut butter, and homemade cookies while my med-student husband muttered about gestational diabetes.
Then one week I felt perfectly normal again. I worried that something was wrong and found myself very alert to every hint of queasiness, achy temples, and fatigue, practically rooting for these blips to turn into full-fledged nausea and prove that I was still pregnant. Once an ultrasound put me at ease, I went back to those lucky stars and just enjoyed my health.
"Oh, are you so sensitive to smells now?" is a question I've gotten a lot. Eight years in New York have made me a determined ignorer of repulsive smells, a mind/body survival skill pregnancy has yet to weaken. My one new smell-taste-sight aversion seems very weird to me: I don't want to eat sweet red-orange vegetables any more. I discovered this when I tried a new recipe for sweet potatoes in January. I really wanted to like them, so I choked them down for one dinner and one lunch before facing the fact that food should not make you gag. Then I discovered that carrots—even little bits of carrots in soup—evoked a similar but milder reaction, as did tomatoes. Tomatoes! Who doesn't like tomatoes? I thought I was over it, but just this past Saturday as I was making tomato sauce for pizza, tasting it to correct seasoning still turned my stomach a little.
When I was beginning to read about pregnancy nutrition, I came across a statistic, took note of it as crazy, and promptly lost its source. It was something along the lines of, "Eight in ten women crave ice cream at some point during pregnancy." Don't eight in ten people crave ice cream at some point during any given week?
Although my persistent lifelong desire for ice cream remains unshaken, I haven't developed any particular cravings. I have to admit that I was kind of looking forward to finding out what crazy things I would want, so it's been a little bit of a disappointment not to have to sweet-talk my husband into running out for pickled beets and Twinkies. (Needless to say, he is delighted with the actual state of affairs.) I did eat a lot more dessert than usual during the second and third months, mostly ice cream and homemade cookies. What seemed to me at the time to be poor willpower may have been a legitimate craving, I think, since that urge passed in March. I still eat dessert, but in reasonable quantities and not as often.
With absolutely no proof, I attribute a lot of my good fortune in avoiding pregnancy's unpleasant side effects to the breakfast I eat every single day. I've been devoted to yogurt since I worked on French Women Don't Get Fat in my old job, and when I got pregnant I added a few things to make it even more nutritious and substantial. So this is my healthy breakfast: 1/2 cup plain full fat yogurt, 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, a spoonful of ground flaxseed, and a drizzle of honey. (For some reason your body can't extract all the good stuff from whole flaxseeds; they should be ground. Since I don't have a grinder to devote to this, I was delighted to discover that you can buy them already ground.) Even if it doesn't quell your morning sickness (hey, even if you aren't pregnant), it's a great idea to start your day with all that calcium, whole grain, and omega 3 action. The oats even offer a little protein, too.

Bad SEO Advice?Blog Post: February 18, 2008
I'm just finishing up this online course, and to be fair, I learned quite a bit. JonnyRash's comments about the course were probably accurate when he posted them, but the course must have gotten an update since then, maybe as a result of JR's burn. Lycos and Altavista are barely mentioned, and the course is very Google-centric now. Is it a comprehensive course? No. But it's organized and methodical. I've done some considerable reading on SEO in the last two years, and I still am coming out with some valuable information. Some of the advice is questionable, but even RandFish reverses himself on occaision, no? (i. e. Google Sitemaps)
