Here we go again.
Since six people were killed and 13 were wounded at a Tucson, Ariz., grocery store on Jan. 8, the media have focused on the mental health of Jared Loughner, who is charged in the shootings.

The International Bipolar Foundation will find out January 17, 2011 who the winners are. Please keep your fingers crossed.
