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 disordermanic depressionwas 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 illness 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 antidepressantsmedications 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 childrens 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 the 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.
is an associate professor of psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City and the codirector of the Program in Behavioral Genetics. He is the director of research of the Juvenile Bipolar Research Foundation, and is in private practice in New York City and Westport, Connecticut. janice papolos is the author of three other books, all recognized as definitive in their fields, and is the editor of the highly respected Bipolar Child Newsletter.The Papoloses are the authors of the classic text Overcoming Depression, now in its third edition. They live in Westport, Connecticut. Visit their Web site at www.bipolarchild.com.
I would recommend this book to anyone who either thinks that their child might be ADD, depressed or Bi-polar. This book has finally given me peace. My 7 year old daughter has been struggling with her behavior her whole life. If I had only been given this book when she was 2 or 3, our lives would be very different now. But it is not too late, this book is helping me to better understand my daughter and her behavior. To allow those hurt feelings to be healed. My family to start to mend, and most importantly, give me hope for her future. I say anyone who either thinks their child could be, or who already has the diagnosis's above, should read this book. It talks about a lot of misdiagnosing of children, and that they really should be treated for bipolar before going on ADD or anti depressants. Please read this book! Submitted by : Mother of 2 wonderful children.
This book is basically easy to read and gives solid information. I would recommend it for any parent who suspects their child might be bipolar.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Umbrella-gate stirs outrage
Obama asks marines to keep rain away
WASHINGTON -- Slogging through a drizzly Rose Garden news conference Thursday with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, U.S. President Obama took a break to ask for some rain protection.
"I am going to go ahead and ask folks, why don't we get a couple of marines -- they're going to look good next to us -- just because I've got a change of suits but I don't know about our prime minister," he said as two marines appeared at the podiums with umbrellas. "There we go. That's good." He gestured to the soggy press corps, adding, "You guys I'm sorry about."
It was a lighthearted moment in the midst of a grim few days for the White House. But in a week of Benghazi emails, Justice Department subpoenas and Internal Revenue Service targeting, some of the administration's critics saw another example of overreach.
Obama breaches marine umbrella protocol, read the headline on one conservative blog.
Per U.S. Marine Corps uniform regulations, the men are not allowed to carry or use umbrellas while in uniform. Female marines can carry "an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather," and only with service and dress uniforms.
'Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas'
-- Sarah Palin message on Facebook
All of which means when marines stand sentry outside the White House, they often get wet.
"Marines are always out getting rained on. That's sort of what we do," said Capt. Eric Flanagan, a marines spokesman. A request from the president to a marine who serves at the White House, however, would be an "extenuating circumstance," he said.
Flanagan also pointed to Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which states members of the marine corps shall "perform such other duties as the president may direct."
In this case, Obama had clearly directed the marines to be ready with umbrellas if necessary.
The same umbrella rules hold true for the army; in the navy and air force, all service members can carry an umbrella when not in field uniform.
Neither Flanagan nor a U.S. Army spokesman could explain the reasoning behind the gender divide. An attempt to change the policy in the 1990s failed, with some suggesting there was something effeminate about umbrellas.
"They seem to be very nervous what constitutes unmanly behaviour," said Cynthia Enloe, a professor at Clark University who researched military uniform codes in the book Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives.
Seeing a trained marine holding the president's umbrella just rubs some observers the wrong way.
"Obama expects our troops to hold damn umbrellas rather than go inside: It's disrespectful, inconsiderate, classless," tweeted Lou Dobbs.
"Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas," former Alaska governor Sarah Palin added on Facebook.
The conservative Move America Forward PAC likened the umbrella-holding to what conservatives view as Obama's weak response to September's attack in Benghazi, Libya. A fundraising email from the group read, "Rain: 'Hold My Umbrella.' Benghazi: 'Stand Down.' "
Perhaps Obama could have turned to a member of the Secret Service instead. Are they allowed to carry umbrellas?
"This falls under our methods and means information, which we don't discuss," Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said.
-- Washington Post-Bloomberg

The Valley of Amazement
From goodreads:
Violet is one of the most celebrated courtesans in Shanghai, a beautiful and intelligent woman who has honed her ability to become any man's fantasy since her start as a "Virgin Courtesan" at the age of twelve. Half-Chinese and half-American, she moves effortlessly between the East and the West. But her talents belie her private struggle to understand who she really is and her search for a home in the world. Abandoned by her mother, Lucia, and uncertain of her father's identity, Violet's quest to truly love and be loved will set her on a path fraught with danger and complexity-and the loss of her own daughter.
Lucia, a willful and wild American woman who was once herself the proprietress of Shanghai's most exclusive courtesan house, nurses her own secret wounds, which she first sustained when, as a teenager, she fell in love with a Chinese painter and followed him from San Francisco to Shanghai. Her search for penance and redemption will bring her to a startling reunion with Flora, Violet's daughter, and will shatter all that Violet believed she knew about her mother.

I have loved Amy Tan ever since I first read Joy Luck Club in college. A few years ago, I enjoyed reading her memoir The Opposite of Fate on a trip to India. I was really excited to learn that she had a new book coming out, The Valley of Amazement. My excitement and anticipation only increased when I read the story of her search for a new editor who ended up working with her on this book. Since the book was in high demand and I am still on on a book buying budget, I had a lot of breaks in my reading as the book had to be returned and I needed to wait my turn.
In spite of stopping and starting multiple times, I found myself engrossed in the story. In particular, I liked getting to know Violet and seeing her grow. Parts of the book were slow, but I felt like there were lots of saucy parts which made for some juicy reading. As with all of her novels, I appreciated the exploration of mother daughter relationships in a way that honors complexity and conflict. The lessons on how to be a courtesan were fascinating and the ways in which she fell in love made me feel both hopeful and sad.
I am counting this book for the following challenge: 2014 Chunkster Reading Challenge: At 589 pages, this is certainly a chunkster.
The Invention of Wings
From goodreads:
Hetty "Handful" Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke's daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.
Kidd's sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah's eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid.We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty-five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other's destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love.
As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women's rights movements.

The first book I read by Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees, gave me lot to think about while still sweeping me up in a compelling story. I was excited when the Partners and Professors book club selected the Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd for our February meeting. As I started reading, I was again swept up in the story and a bit guarded because I feel like lately I have read several books with similar themes.
In the months between finishing the book and writing the review, the thing which I keep thinking about is the importance of not only believing in yourself, but in having men (aka those with power and investment in the current structure) also believe in you. There is a powerful scene where Sarah makes a declaration that she wants to become a lawyer and her father public mocks her and basically shuts her down. After reading and reflecting on that passage and the rest of the book, I felt profoundly lucky that my own father always encouraged and believed in my ability to do great things. Even now, I have the chance to take the bar exam because he and my mom believe in me enough to provide resources to make it possible for me to try again.
I also love the intersection between race and gender. As Sarah and her sister Angelina begin working in the abolition movement, they start to give voice and power to the need for women's empowerment. The conflict this causes and their response to it is one of my favorite parts. As Handful begins to find ways to connect to the world outside the Grimke farm and figure out how to make her own path, I love the way her power and resources are cultivated to bring her freedom while honoring her past. The novel is certainly about women finding and asserting their powerful. It is also about friendship, reaching across race and class lines, but in a way that feels real and complicated.
We are Water
From goodreads:
In middle age, Anna Oh - wife, mother, outsider artist - has shaken her family to its core. After twenty-seven years of marriage and three children, Anna has fallen in love with Vivica, the wealthy, cultured, confident Manhattan art dealer who orchestrated her professional success.
Anna and Viveca plan to wed in the Oh family's hometown of Three Rivers in Connecticut, where gay marriage has recently been legalized. But the impending wedding provokes some very mixed reactions and opens a Pandora's Box of toxic secrets--dark and painful truths that have festered below the surface of the Ohs' lives.

I loved Wally Lamb even before I read any of his books. When I was living in New Orleans, I attended the Tennessee Williams literary festival and heard him speak; he had a wonderful spark and I liked hearing how the plots for his books developed. He also did a writing exercise with the group and I wish I could remember his words exactly, but his passion for working with women in prison was inspiring. He was also a great sport and took a picture with my friend and me. Since then, I read and enjoyed I Know this Much is True and She's Come Undone.
I was very excited to read We are Water even though the premise seemed a little dark. Parts of the story were hard to get through and others were disturbing. Sometimes, I felt really angry and upset; sometimes, I laughed. No matter what emotion came out, I always wanted to read more. I thought hard about what makes a marriage work, the importance of career, and family connections. I wondered what I would do in the position of all the characters. I was frustrated with what I perceive as a lack of consequences for some terrible behavior.
The biggest surprise is how well characters who are easy to hate because of things they have done evoked some sympathy from me. I did not like them, but I did not hate them with as much vengeance as I thought when I reflected on the story. My favorite characters were all three of the kids and my least favorite were the parents. The complexity of family relationships and the ways childhood shapes adulthood were examined pretty well.
I am counting this book for the following challenges:

From goodreads:
August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He's about to start 5th grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?

I first heard about Wonder by R.J. Palacio while listening to NPR; it was the September selection for the NPR Backseat book club which is a book club for young readers. I was immediately taken with the story's premise and then really loved the author interview. I also really enjoyed the passages of the book being read by fifth graders. Even though we did not select it for our book club, I was excited to read it and LOVED the characters and the story.
Besides Auggie, my favorite character is Summer. She is warm, funny, and kind. The book captures the complexity of middle school really well; in particular, the struggle to fit in while doing right by your fellow humans. Many of the scenes made me cry; I was especially moved by the lunch room image of Auggie sitting by himself. I was brought back to the anxiety and worry of having someone to sit with at lunch. I also keep thinking about the emperor's guard chapter which makes me want to high-five humanity. I did love Auggie's voice, but I was glad that we got to have the perspective of other characters as well.
Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
From goodreads:
Thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. This means that women's voices are still not heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women's progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential.

Even before I read Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg, I heard so much about it that I already had the idea that I would generally agree with her points, but have some issue with the nuance. I did appreciate the conversation the book generated and the general premise that more should be done to empower and support women to reach their full potential.
The biggest surprise for me was how many of her suggestions and approaches I could apply RIGHT NOW. In particular, I was struck with how much I apologize for things which are not my fault. Even as I strive to be confident, when I feel nervous or anxious (which happens often in a new environment) my default mode is to apologize. Some of my favorite chapters of the book were about like ability (again could relate to this desire), true partnership (certainly striving for this ALL THE TIME in my marriage), and having it all (love that she emphasized the definition of this varies from person to person and will evolve).
The most surprising and helpful section to me was on Don't Leave Before You Leave. I fight the urge to worry constantly about a future where all of my fears have come true becoming a reality. I also tend to create anxiety about how I will manage in the future. See worrying about going to law school and not being able to get a job after graduation because of the possibility of a recession. See also being in the first trimester of pregnancy and being concerned with how we were going to pay for our daughter's education. There are some genuine concerns in there, but giving so much energy to a worst case scenario can as Sandberg suggests create limitations and reduce possibilities.
I appreciate the criticisms that she has a very privileged life which influences her perspective, but overall I think that there is something in the book which can be applied to everyone. Plus, I love the work Lean In.Org is doing to create systematic change, including Ban Bossy and changing stock photos to portray women and girls in powerful ways.

Kepler Finds Five More Exoplanets 102
from the nice-places-to-visit-but dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
As they get more verified examples under their belts, I expect they'll get a bit bolder. I certainly hope so, anyway. Earth-sized planets will be hard to double-check (Hubble could do it, but nothing on the ground), and large outer planets can't be double-checked at all, since they just make one pass and the next could be decades away.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they need to see two transits to see the complete dip of light and a second for confirmation and orbital period. As the project has been running for six weeks, they have only results for planets that orbit their star in 3 weeks or less. Detecting Earth size planets in the habitable zone could take years before they make two transits. Detecting Earth itself would take 2 years.
Actually, there is a very good philosophical reason to suspect exoplanets should exists: the mediocrity principle [wikipedia.org].
That is, we are not a very special and unique snowflake. We're not in a privileged position in the universe. There are billions of planets just like ours.
The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.

Paul Walker stars as a rookie cop who goes undercover to infiltrate an illegal Los Angeles street-racing gang and investigate a jewelry heist; the plot thickens when other members of the gang begin to suspect he's an imposter. Directed by Rob Cohen ("The Skulls"), pic stars Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Rick Yune and Michelle Rodriguez in her first role since last year's indie "Girlfight." The story was adapted for the screen by Gary Scott Thompson and David Ayer from an article by Ken Li, who reported for Vibe on street-racing gangs that transform Japanese sports cars into race cars.

Our quick look around the NBA, or what you missed while you and your friends debated canned vs. bottled beer…. Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers. He wasn't in attack mode, he was in seek-and-destroy mode. With Dion Waiters and basically everyone who can shoot outside 15 feet injured he knows he has to be the man…
Kings' Isaiah Thomas calls Celtics' Jerryd Bayless a 'fake tough guy' after on-court incident (VIDEO)
Feb 8, 2014, 11:00 AM EDT
This is yet another example of why you don't give a max contract to a player with the temperament of DeMarcus Cousins without the presence of any veterans on the roster to help with the team's leadership. But this is only about him tangentially, so we'll revisit this in a moment. Late in the fourth…
With Mike Conley out at least a week, Memphis Grizzlies sign Darius Morris
Feb 3, 2014, 1:49 PM EDT
Mike Conley is out at least a week with a sprained ankle, and the Memphis Grizzlies already traded their backup point guard, Jerryd Bayless, to the Boston Celtics. Nick Calathes will start in Conley's place, but the rookie is more of a shooting guard. The Grizzlies clearly need help at point guard if they want…
Evan Turner hits the difficult game-winner to send Sixers past Celtics (VIDEO)
Jan 29, 2014, 10:45 PM EDT
Evan Turner's awkward shot through contact at the buzzer to give the Sixers a win over the Celtics was anything but a layup. Turner bumped into Jared Sullinger after crossing up Jerryd Bayless on the perimeter, and contorted enough to get a shot up just outside of the restricted area that found its way home…
Randy Wittman admits he's not motivating Washington Wizards
Jan 24, 2014, 8:39 PM EDT
Losing to the Boston Celtics isn't embarrassing. Boston is 15-29 this season – hardly great, but definitely not a record indicative of a team that can't compete. But losing to the Celtics when they don't have Rajon Rando, Avery Bradley and Jerryd Bayless? When they outscore you by four points in the six minutes their…
Celtics' Avery Bradley sprains ankle, could miss some time
Jan 21, 2014, 11:22 PM EDT
There haven't been a lot of bright spots in the Celtics' season, Avery Bradley has been one of them — healthy in his fourth NBA season he has broken out to average 14.8 points a game, shoot 36.5 percent from three and as always be a pesky, impressive defender on the perimeter. But now he…
Celtics to be without Jerryd Bayless at least a week due to toe injury
Jan 21, 2014, 2:00 PM EDT
Since coming over from Memphis Jerryd Bayless has averaged almost 20 minutes a night for Boston, averaging 7.1 points (on just 38 percent shooting) and three assists a night. However Bayless sprained his toe, is out Tuesday night against Miami and will be out 7-10 days, reports A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com. Right now Rajon…
Celtics' Jerryd Bayless gets warned for flopping (VIDEO)
Jan 15, 2014, 9:20 AM EDT
Jerryd Bayless come on down, you're the next contestant on "getting a league warning for flopping." Who knows, maybe Bayless was just "LeBroning." Either way, the league gave him an official warning Tuesday. The incident occurred Monday night (Jan. 13), when the Celtics were playing the Rockets. Jeremy Lin was bringing the ball up court…
It's official: Grizzlies/Celtics/Thunder three-team trade involving Jerryd Bayless, Courtney Lee
Jan 7, 2014, 12:39 PM EDT
For a couple days you've been reading about a potential Jerryd Bayless swap for Courtney Lee, with the Thunder jumping in to offload Ryan Gomes. Now it's official, it has been announced by the teams. Here is who gets what: Memphis Grizzlies: Lee plus a 2016 second round pick from Boston. Boston Celtics: Bayless and…
Report: Thunder become third team in Grizzlies/Celtics swap of Bayless/Lee
Jan 6, 2014, 9:09 PM EDT
We told you Sunday that it looked like the Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies were close to swapping Jerryd Bayless and Courtney Lee. Why do it? Because the Celtics would save money in future years and while they get another ball handling guard (which they could use while Rajon Rondo remains out) they really don't…
Report: Celtics trading Courtney Lee to Grizzlies for Jerryd Bayless
Jan 5, 2014, 6:14 PM EDT
Despite the Celtics getting out to a better than expected start to the season, they're still a team in a full-fledged rebuilding mode, which we're reminded of by the news of the team's latest trade. Marc Stein of ESPN.com has the details: Boston Celtics, I'm told, are in advanced discussions on a trade to acquire…

The Extra Pass: Clippers offensive fireworks cover up struggling defense, plus Monday recaps
Nov 5, 2013, 8:00 AM EDT
LOS ANGELES — The Clippers know how to put on a show — they dropped a highflying 137 points on the Rockets and blew the up-and-coming team out of the water. Through four games the Clippers are averaging 116.7 points per 100s possessions, that is almost 7 points better than the second place team (Houston).…

Gas Prices & The Presidential Race [VIDEO]
So where do President Obama and Mitt Romney stand on how to handle rising gas prices? How does it factor into the White House race?
FOX's John Roberts reports from Atlanta:
Audio clip:
With gas prices on the rise; now an average $3.69 a gallon, what would the candidates do to keep the price down? For President Obama, the heavy emphasis is on alternative energies and Government mandated fuel efficiency. Mitt Romney's focus is on finding new sources of fossil fuel, including opening waters off the east coast. John Felmy of the American Petroleum Institute says there's a lot more oil and gas out there than we're producing now.
Felmy: "There's a vast amount of oil on Federal lands that we could develop. Over a hundred billion barrels. If we were to produce that amount of oil over 30 years, it would be 10 million barrels a day, or what we import of oil."
Mitt Romney also believes the Government shouldn't pick winners and losers in alternative energies and would limit his funding to basic research, not commercial development.

LEGOs are in. While the eight-year-old inside of you has known this to be obvious for quite some time, it seems to have taken the world a while to come around to the fact. But the cherished childhood pastime is making its way back into the mainstream, earning placement in the form of a record-breaking X-Wing sculpture and a new exhibit set to open in Times Square on June 14.
Meanwhile, architectural genius Alex Eylar, who has been recreating famous movie scenes with LEGOs for years, tops the lot with a new homage to Scarface, pictured above. In honor of Eylar's ceaseless devotion to the craft, and our own passion for LEGOs (and, of course, movies), we've put together a gallery of some of Eylar's greatest cinematic homages. Can you guess each movie the sculptures are depicting? Click below to test your knowledge.

Loading Power Query M Code From Text Files
One of the things that has intrigued me in the Power Query docs for a while now is the Expression.Evaluate() function, which takes some text and evaluates it as a Power Query expression (rather like good old StrToSet() in MDX). I can think of lots of fun things you can do with this, but here's one very cool example: it allows you to store the M code for your Power Query query in a text file outside your Excel workbook.
Here's an example. Consider the following Excel workbook, which has a table named FruitSales in it:
I can use this table as a source for the following simple Power Query query as follows:
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="FruitSales"]}[Content],
GroupedRows = Table.Group(Source, {}, {{"Sum of Sales", each List.Sum([Sales]), type number}})
Here's the output:
No surprises so far. Next, I copy the code for the Power Query query above and paste it into a text file; in my case I've saved my file at C:\PowerQueryQueries\DynamicQuery.txt
Back in Excel, I can now load the code stored in this text file in a new query using the following code:
//Load M code from text file
Source = Text.FromBinary(File.Contents("C:\PowerQueryQueries\DynamicQuery.txt")),
//Evaluate the code from the file as an M expression
EvaluatedExpression = Expression.Evaluate(Source, #shared)
The end result is exactly the same as in the previous example, except that in this case the code to read the data from the table and to aggregate it is loaded from the text file and is not stored inside the workbook.
The Source step here is fairly straightforward – it just loads text from a file into Power Query. It's the next step where the magic takes place: as I said, Expression.Evaluate() takes the text and evaluates it as an expression, but it's the second parameter which defines the environment that the expression evaluates in that seems to be the key to making this work. The chapter on "Sections" in the Power Query Formula Language specification document has a little bit more explanation of what environments are but I have to admit I'm not 100% clear on how all this ties in to M as it is implemented in Power Query today.
For those of you who can't afford a Power BI subscription, this technique allows you to share queries between multiple workbooks without a Power BI site. In fact it has some advantages over sharing a query in Power BI because it always reads the definition of the query from the file, and so it will always use the latest version of your query – in Power BI, when you use a shared query you take a copy of the query and it is not updated even if the original author shares a newer version.
20 Responses
Brilliant. We can now effectively share queries between workbooks. One PQ improvement that I am expecting is a vba API to export the query code. This would facilitate the creation of workbooks design documentation. Your technique offers an alternative: documentation and workbooks can both point to the same text file and remain in sync.
Don't wish to be harsh but this all seems a bit backwards to me. Technology is just going full circle because we don't know how to cope with the amount of data we have. We need better ideas not re-skinned old ideas. You can already share queries between workbooks using managed data sources and load code from flat files in a dozen other languages. Having worked on many projects automating actuarial and finance processes into distributed warehouses which involves trudging through hundreds of linked spread sheets with out date and inconsistent data and logic. There is already enough ways to hide logic and create horrifically over complicated file linked spread sheet systems that are totally unmanageable when you scale them up and out.
This has the obvious drawback that the spreadsheet is no longer as portable because the query doesn't travel with it any more.
It also has the more subtle drawback that it doesn't play very nicely with the static analysis that we sometimes do on M code. The M language, runtime and security model were designed for fully dynamic execution, but there are times that we try to optimize things with a static analysis.
It's also very likely that the initial support for refreshing a Power Query from inside SharePoint will only succeed if we can fully analyze the query with static analysis.
Is there a way to use variables in a query?
For example, I've made the mistake of working on a PQ project in a folder on my desktop. I have my PQ workbook and all of my source files (.xlsx and .csv) in a folder on my desktop. My source for each PQ is like this:
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\jimmy\Desktop\testingPQ\someReport.xlsx")).
Now I want to move the PQ workbook somewhere other than my desktop, but doing so means that I have to change each PQ source to the new location. Occasionally, I want to show my awesome PQ setup to a co-worker. If I email everything over to Jack's PC, the file contents will be saved in "C:\Users\Jack…" My PQ setup is not very impressive after spending thirty minutes fixing my source settings.
Is it possible to point a variable in PQ to a cell that's set to =INFO("DIRECTORY"), then use that variable to make my PQ workbook portable?

Of course Minecraft is violent. Do you have any idea how many innocent instructions get executed to make it run?
How about using supercapacitors to convert 5 seconds of 60kW into 15 seconds of 20kW (less losses)?
5 seconds of 60kW = 300kJ. Supercapacitor energy densities are in the range 0.5 to 15 W-hour/kg according to Wikipedia. Say 5 Wh/kg, = 18000 J/kg, so you'd only need a few kg of supercapacitor to make this work. The only price I find is US$2.85 per kJ in 2006, putting the cost at around $1000, probably much less now (but there will also be costs beyond just the supercapacitor.)
You could also make this an option - not much point paying $2000 for this capability if the car is going to be in Singapore.
I can't tell if you're serious.
The idea of landing a stage on rocket power for reuse has been around for decades (DC-X comes to mind, there may be earlier examples.) As rockets generally launch seaward for safety reasons, that you might want to land one at sea is obvious. The idea of using a ship as a landing platform has also been around for decades. There is nothing that should be patentable in the big idea "landing a rocket on a ship".
Within this general idea, there are bound to be many smaller patentable ideas: e.g. method for automatically securing a rocket to a deck when it could be up to 15m away from the target landing point.
Furthermore, that is why rockets launch from the east coast in the first place: if something goes wrong, the flaming debris comes down over the sea.
However, SpaceX are aiming to do a return to launch site for recovering their stage I boosters. (This surprised me - this must use more fuel than land-at-sea, and the mass of that fuel is directly subtracted from your available stage II payload.) The landing at sea is an interim measure while they prove the technology (because of the afore mentioned potential for flaming debris.)
I don't see why not (so long as software patents are allowed), but once you have your patent application, you'd better run the software on it and also submit all the variants it comes up with, before someone else does.
Also: both this launch and the previous one (space station resupply mission) had an "instantaneous launch window", meaning that any delay at all means they scrub for the day. Why is that? What is so magical about their launch time that they can't accept a one minute delay? And how much does it cost to scrub a launch for a day?
Just yesterday I looked at the SpaceX website's news page specifically to find out when the next rocket recovery attempt would be, and it said nothing about this. I just happened to check
If they couldn't dump to fuel tanks, and if dumping RP-1 overboard was a hazard, surely they'd just use a different fluid? If they're using RP-1 for the fins, I think that is a very strong indication that they're dumping to the fuel tanks.
A minor nit-pick: I think you mean "chemical rocket".
Probably the most common rockets are liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen. Neither are fossil fuels. Solid rockets could contain oil-derived plastics in their fuel, I don't know enough to say how often this is so. SpaceX uses kerosene/liquid oxygen which does use fossil fuel, although I expect it wouldn't be hard to substitute a suitable biofuel if they really wanted to.
Since 1969 there have been people living on Earth who have visited another world. It would be a terrible failure of humanity if one day this was no longer true. I am not fond of the Chinese government, but if they send people to the moon, I'll be enthusiastically cheering them on.
One of the best sounds to never hear.
If game theory mathematicians say they've got a strategy which provably can't be beaten, I'll believe them until someone finds a flaw in their method. Mathematicians are notoriously picky about what constitutes a 'proof'. I'm sure they are quite aware of the possibility of an opponent which knows their strategy and adapts to it. (Note that in the rock paper scissors example, knowing the perfect strategy does not let you beat it.)
The article does not specify whether the strategy is deterministic or probabilistic. I expect the latter: sometimes its big lookup table will say "in this situation, raise 15% of the time, fold 85% of the time."
You can better understand what is going on by considering the much simpler game Rock paper scissors. 'Perfect' here basically means the strategy gives you the best possible worst case.
For RPS, the perfect strategy (using the term in the same sense as it is used for the poker bot) is to play completely randomly. There is no way to gain an edge over this strategy, no counter-strategy which will give you more than 50% chance of winning, even if you know your opponent's strategy. (In this case, there is also no strategy which will give you less than 50% chance of winning against the 'perfect' strategy.)
For the poker bot, there is no strategy that will give you greater than 50% chance of winning against it in a two player game. If you know its strategy perfectly (but of course you don't know its cards) the best you can do is to equal that 50% chance (which is what happens if it plays itself.) Unlike RPS, you can can lose to the perfect poker bot by playing poorly. Also, as noted in the article, the perfect poker bot always plays as if it were playing against perfect opposition. A good human player will fleece you faster then the perfect bot, because the human player will notice your peculiar imperfections and exploit them, choosing to play in a way which would be suboptimal against a perfect opponent, but superior against you.
The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes.

The Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), S. K. Srivastava on Wednesday was silent on the action Government or DGH could take if Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) does not raise production from its prolific KG-D6 field to 67-68 million standard cubic metres of gas a day (mscmd) by April 2011.
The KG-D6 block has recorded a 15 per cent fall in production and the output has been hovering around 51-52 mscmd.
"Reliance needs to drill two more wells by April but did not elaborate if the company can actually complete the task in less than a month's time." He also did not spell out what action can the DGH and the Government take if RIL fails to meet its commitment. "As per the approved field development plan (FDP), gas production should rise to 67 mscmd in April," he said.
Reliance is currently producing 50-51 mscmd of gas from KG-DWN-98/3 block, also known as KG-D6, off the Andhra Pradesh coast. The output is lower than the 60 mscmd average production in the April-June quarter of 2010.
Mr. Srivastava said that 18 wells have been drilled so far and completed out of 22 development or production wells approved in Phase-I of the FDP for the D1 and D3 fields. Gas is being produced from 16 wells and two more wells are complete, but not put on production. Another two wells are yet to be connected to production system.
"Once all 22 wells come on stream sometime in April, gas output (from D1 and D3) will again touch 60 mscmd," he said. Total investment in KG-D6 till date is $7.8 billion. As per the approved FDP, the D-1 and D-3 gas fields, which began gas production in April, 2009, have a field life of 13 years, with a plateau period of six years. Peak output of 80 mscmd is projected sometime in 2012-13.
RIL has so far made 19 oil and gas finds in the Krishna-Godavari Basin Block KG-DWN-98/3, or KG-D6.
Officials in the Petroleum Ministry said the company had been forced to restrict production from the MA oil field to about 17,000 barrels a day due to high water and gas output.
The field was yielding more water than oil and that even 8 mscmd of gas in comparison to oil output was considered quite high. The MA field had five oil producing wells and one gas producer.
Reliance will have to drill two more wells to meet its commitment of 22 production wells by April, 2011, which would help it produce up to 60 mscmd gas from D1 and D3 fields.
