Join Blake as he foils bullies, confronts unfair teachers, struggles with distraction and disorganization on exams, and goes sailing out-of-bounds and ends up with a boatload of spiders. It will be an inspiration and companion to the millions of others like him who must find a way to thrive with a different perspective than many of us. The book features an introduction by psychologist Lara Honos-Webb, author of The Gift of ADHD, and a leading advocate for kids with ADHD. Blake’s mother first suspected he had ADHD when he, at only three y ...

Although they are all physically well and expected to survive, they face the psychological challenge of waiting for rescue from the cave. This story resonated with me because lately I’ve been hearing a lot about a new book, No Way Down, which was featured on NPR along with some other mountain disaster books. No Way Down covered the story of several teams of mountain climbers who were stranded on K2 when an icefall cut their ropes. Most of the climbers died although a few managed to pick their way back to base camp. Survival stories have always been popular. Entire television series now feature teams of people pitted again...

It’s chased me through spring and followed me into July. And now we’re here — a few days before the big 4th of July weekend. Here’s where time really got me. There’s no way to escape it just like we can’t run away from the madhouse of our world right now. But we can make choices. We can choose to really embrace our lives, no matter how chaotic and stressful it is and how helpless and overwhelmed we feel. And we can decide to celebrate and cherish small joyous moments like the fact that it’s sunny out or that there are no disasters going on right at this minute. A friend and I were joking about how much the news is a downer. It feeds right into our insecurities and anxieties and makes us f...

I’ve had numerous occurrences when I’ve lost my car, paid the wrong bill, etc., but two years ago I came very close to burning down our house. I’d like to share this hideous tale about my own forgetfulness because it does tie in to the whole area of routine, patterns and habits as we live this somewhat bent life of ours. I am convinced I need to have some discipline and planning in my life because if I didn’t, I would be “flying” without a safety net. As most of us have discovered, this pain-filled existence is very distracting, exhausting and frustrating. Ch...

MercuryNews.com reports that hospitals do have people in emergency rooms with respiratory problems. At the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital in the Santa Clarita Valley north of Los Angeles where fires were burning, 22 people arrived at the emergency room complaining of respiratory problems, most likely from the smoke. At least two stayed overnight, hospital spokeswoman Bhavna Mistry said. Sixteen patients, including four firefighters, were treated for burns at the University of California San Diego Medical Center. Of those, five also suffered from smoke inhalation. Hospital spokeswoman Nancy Stringer said the medical cente...

Abstract: "The dynamics of large networks of spiking neurons resembles closely that of forest fires. During such events forests contain green, burned and burning trees; likewise neural networks contain sensitive, refractory and activated neurons. We show how models of neuronal activity, both as standard forest fires as well as networks of integrate and fire neurons, are capable of displaying a variety of interesting behavior. These include long-range, power law temporal correlations in the inter-spike interval histograms, criticality, stochastic resonance in the noise driven appearance of spirals of neural activity, traveling waves, and localized clusters of activ...
