The Bipolar Child: The Definitive and Reassuring Guide to Childhood's Most Misunderstood Disorder -- Third Edition

Since it first appeared on bookshelves, The Bipolar Child has made an indelible mark on the field of psychiatry and has become the resource that families rely upon. Now, with more than 200,000 copies sold, the first book about early-onset bipolar disorder is completely revised and expanded.


Bipolar disorderâ€"manic depressionâ€"was once thought to be rare in children. Now researchers are discovering not only that bipolar disorder can begin early in life, but that it is much more common than ever imagined. Yet the illn ess is often misdiagnosed and mistreated with medications that can exacerbate the symptoms. Why? Bipolar disorder manifests itself differently in children than in adults, and in children there is an overlap of symptoms with other childhood psychiatric disorders. As a result, these kids may be labeled with any of a number of psychiatric conditions: “ADHD,” “depression,” “oppositional defiant disorder,” “obsessive-compulsive disorder,” or “generalized anxiety disorder.” Too often they are treated with stimulants or antidepressantsâ€"medications that can actually worsen the bipolar condition.
Since the publication of its first edition, The Bipolar Child has helped many thousands of families get to the root cause of their children’s behaviors and symptoms and find what they need to know. The Papoloses comprehensively detail the diagnosis, explain how to find good treatment and medications, and advise parents about ways to advocate effectively for their children in school. In this edition, a greatly expanded education chapter describes all the changes in educational law due to the 2004 reauthorization of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), and offers a multitude of ideas for parents and educators to help the children feel more comfortable in the academic environment. The book also contains crucial information about hospitalization, the importance of neuropsychological testing (with a recommended battery of tests), and the world of insurance. Included in these pages is information on promising new drugs, greater insight into the special concerns of teenagers, and additional sections on the impact of the illness on the family. In addition, an entirely new chapter focuses on major advances taking place in the field of molecular genetics and offers hope that researchers will better understand the illness and develop more targeted and easier-to-tolerate medicines.
The Bipolar Child is rich with th e voices of parents, siblings, and the children themselves, opening up the long-closed world of the families struggling with this condition. This book has already proved to be an invaluable resource for parents whose children suffer from mood disorders, as well as for the professionals who treat and educate them, and this new edition is sure to continue to light the way.For any caregiver experiencing life with a bipolar child, Demitri and Janice Papolos's The Bipolar Child will be an indispensable reference guide. The material is presented clearly, with lots of helpful charts and lists to aid in receiving proper diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care. All medical information is relayed with the aim of helping parents to ensur e effective treatment for their children and includes journal-tracking formats to help caregivers provide accurate information to personal physicians. Importantly, many pages are devoted to discussions about the emotional upheavals that living with a bipolar child can bring, and how parents and children can cope most effectively. The book is filled with families' stories that do a beautiful job providing comfort and inspiration to others. A detailed chapter on hospitalization covers everything from insurance to types of treatments. The auth ors provide excellent information regarding improved educational practices, with step-by-step instructions for goal-setting with your child and communicating your child's needs to school personnel. The Bipolar Child is a satisfying and wise read. --Jill Lightner

This is my reference file at work. It's starting to be a really good resource for my job. I'm almost done re-filing all of the files from my predecessor. I file alphabetically and in reverse chronological order eg- BMES 2007 then BMES 2006.

I have a separate fil e drawer for supplies, where I file blank forms, handouts, etc. I make the distinction because they are not reference materials.

I have to use lateral hanging files for student records. I've been working on reducing the use of hanging files and using regular file folders inside of them, as recommended in Getting Things Done. So far I've reduced the required space for Minor student paperwork by 50% just by using this method.

Next I'm going to reverse the right-tab folders and relabel them so that they are all left faaccing. I started doing that at home and it's very cool.

The Automatic Detective





Even in Empire City, a town where weird science is the hope for tomorrow, it’s hard for a robot to make his way. It’s even harder for a robot named Mack Megaton, a hulking machine designed to bring mankind to its knees. But Mack’s not interested in world domination. He’s just a bot trying to get by, trying to demonstrate that he isn’t just an automated smashing machine, and to earn his citizenship in the process. It should be as easy as crushing a tank for Mack, but so me bots just can’t catch a break.

When Mack’s neighbors are kidnapped, Mack sets off on a journey through the dark alleys and gleaming skyscrapers of Empire City. Along the way, he runs afoul of a talking gorilla, a brainy dame, a mutant lowlife, a little green mob boss, and the secret conspiracy at the heart of Empire’s founders---not to mention more trouble than he bargained for. What started out as one missing family becomes a battle for the future of Empire and every citizen that calls her home.

Novels
by CommandZed

Question by The Chief: What novels would you like to see as graphic novels?

I was previewing the graphic novel adaption of The Stand and it was awesome and it just got me to thinking how other novels could benefit from it. I say 1984, Brave New World, and F451 would make some dope graphic novels.




Best answer:

Answer by Blondiee♥
Harry Potter! That would be amazing- even though there are the films ;)
The Road would be another amazing one.
Also, The Maximum Ride series would be soo cool! They are some of the best books ever ;)

The Big Picture Story Bible



  • The Big Picture Story Bible [Hardcover]
  • by Helm, David R.; Schoonmaker, Gail


No child is too young to begin learning about the greatest love story of all-God's love for his people, as portrayed in the Bible. David R. Helm and Gail Schoonmaker collaborate to create a beautifully illustrated book of Bible s tories especially for children, written with simplicity. Rather than simply retelling the most familiar short scenes from the Bible, this book presents the "big picture"-the unified story running through the Old and New Testaments. This delightful book will help children learn the Bible's whole story and begin to appreciate the fulfillment of God's promise to his people.

The Big Picture Bible Story Book is perfect for parents to read to their children, and eventually, for children to r ead on their own. It is an excellent way to introduce them to a book that will guide them through all of life.

6.5 Pound Superfund Site Strip Pit Bass

Strips


Image by Topato

New comment: I've been told this is the correct way to hold a fish, as opposed to my previous photo in the Oklahoma Fishing Group.

This photo hasn't been getting the comments I think it deserves, so I've decided to tell the entire story, and add it to the B.S. group.

This fish actually weighed closer to 9 pounds. It turns out, though, that after cleaning it (I know, I lied about setting it free so none of you vegans would lash out at me), I found it to have several gold coins in its belly. I figure they made up about 3 pounds of the weight, so I adj usted accordingly in calling it a 6.5 pound fish. Apparenlty, the coins were too large to pass through the fish, yet small enough and of such a shape that they were allowing the fish to still eat and survive.

Upon opening the bag and sorting the coins, I found many to be very old American Eagle gold pieces. I then set about trying to find the origin of them, to determine if I should keep them, or turn them in to police. After describing the location and situation to a local gold and silver dealer, he told me of the rumor of "Uncle Hugh's Burried Treasure".

Back in the 1980's, before the land and this strip pit were declared a federal Superfund site, the property was inhabited by the aunt of my best friend Bob Beauchamp. She was always known as "Aunt Finnicky". Her sister, known as "Aunt Soup", though she spelled her name Soupe, lived nearby. Bob doesn't know the origin of the names, as they were known by them from the time he was a child, but one can probably make a good guess.

Aunt Soupe passed away many years ago, followed in death by her second husband, Hugh. Hugh was a Jehova's Witness. The old homestead is full of copies of "The Watchtower", and also a lot of 'Coon Hunting magainzes (Hugh raised hounds, and did a lot of 'coon hunting). There are entries in Aunt Finnicky's diary from 1976 about taking some 'coon meat over to Soupe's house. There are also a lot of reference to Aunt Finnicky feeling ill, and attempting to cure herself by "taking a little vodka". This explains the vast pile of vodka bottles still present on the property.

I don't know the Jehova's Witnesses' beliefs, but the Witnesses I know all seem to hoard things. Hugh has everyyhign from old cars to about 100 pairs of boots still sitting on this property, along with batteries, hot water heaters, bathtubs, countless tires, 55 gal. drums of oil and other chemicals. The list goes on and on. Apparently, he hoarded cash as well.

Back to the gold coins. Upon learning he was near death, Uncle Hugh buried several caches of coin s and other cash around the house, in the barns, and all over the property. It's been impossible to find due to the vast amount of metal slag leftover from the smelter that was there until the 1920s, and is the reason this is now a Superfund site. The metal detector pretty much beeps anywhere you go, since metal is everywhere.

We're thinking this big bass happened to swallow the coins as the eroded from the bank of the strip pit after the big rain and flood of 2005. Since Bob is now the majority owner of the property, we figure he owns the majority of the gold coins as well. We've tracked down a couple of family members who also have interest in the property and offered them their appropriate share of the gold, but they are all wealthy already, and have been kind enough to let Bob keep them all. His sister did take a few to support her cigarette and beer habit.

Being my best friend for the last decade or more. Bob gave me a couple of the larger coins. As he is also a skilled craftsman, he then took a smaller gold piece and mounted it so it now hangs on the 18K gold chain I've worn for years. (Thanks Bob).

We have never taken the entire collection of coins in for appraisal at one time, so as not to let on that we've found a portion of "Uncle Hugh's Treasure", but we have sold enough of them to invest in a ,200 metal detector that is supposed to be better at differentiating gold and silver from the surrounding metal based slag that contains zinc, cadmium, etc.. More will follow as the saga unfol ds. --B.S.
