Book Description
What do an amorous Shih Tzu, a computer game, and the complete works of Shakespeare have in common? Maybe nothing. Or maybe everything. It's a mystery...some would say a code. A code that only an adept code-cracker like Blue Avenger (aka David Schumacher), secret champion of the underdog, modest seeker of truth, and fearless innovator of the unknown, would even think about trying to decipher. And it couldn't come at a better time. Having accomplished several seemingly impossible missions, Blue is now a superhero without a cause, directionless and nearly girlfriendless. When he is offered a chance to visit Venice, it seems the forces of nature have aligned, and like all good and noble superheroes, Blue must choose to accept his mission.

Book Description
A family doctor shares a mother and father's determination to save their son. This story of a father's search to find a diagnosis, and ultimately a cure, for his son's mystery disease is an inspiration that has set the world of genetic medicine and research abuzz with the possibilities for the future. After Cracking the Code screened on "Australian Story," Stephen Damiani and his extraordinary ordinary family have been inundated with messages of support for Mission Massimo. Stephen has a background in construction economics and risk management. He teamed with geneticist Ryan Taft to map his family's genome in an attempt to discover the cause of his son's illness, and in the process developed a diagnostic tool that will revolutionize diagnoses and treatments of diseases as complex and rare as Massimo's leukodystrophy to widespread diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previously, trying to find a specific gene mutation that might be responsible for a disease was a million times harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Stephen's suggestion that Ryan align the genomes, or DNA blueprints, of himself, his wife Sally as well as Massimo, to find any unique variations and thereby create a smaller haystack was previously untried. Stephen convinced Massimo's neurologist, Dr. Rick Leventer at Melbourne's RCH, that it was just a case of technology, statistics, data, and money, but that it could be done. Once Taft was able to locate and isolate the specific genetic mutation of Massimo's DARS gene, the hunt was on to find other children with the same genetic mutation so that the diagnoses could be confirmed. With the help of Adeline Vanderver at the Washington DC-based Centre for Genetic Medicine and her Myelin Disorders Program, they were able to locate several other children with the DARS mutation and have now moved on to the next phase of Mission Massimo, finding a cure. Cracking the Code is simultaneously a wonderful family memoir and the story of some mind-blowing discoveries in medicine.

Book Description
How is a parent to know what to say-and when and how to say it-when talking to teens about all those big, scary topics that are tough to discuss? In researching this book for the past 3 years, 17-year-old Rhett Godfrey interviewed hundreds of teenagers about how their parents talk to them about "the big stuff": sex, drugs, privacy, school problems, cigarettes and alcohol, divorce and remarriage and self-expression. Now Rhett reports back--in frank and surprising conversations--how teens really feel about these touchy subjects. What's more, he shares the best methods that parents have used to open up dialogue behind closed doors. Rhett's mother, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neale S. Godfrey (Money Doesn't Grow on Trees), then helps parents make sense out of what teens say they want from parents-from her own experience as well as from interviews with experts. In the first book to ever take us inside the teen mind to help us understand these topics their point of view, parents will discover how to establish an environment of honesty and open dialogue in their homes so they can better guide their kids through the rocky road of adolescence by understanding: - Why teenagers think oral sex isn't really sex and alcohol is not a drug. And how to convince them otherwise. - How to correct the most common mistake parents make in talking with their kids about drugs. Hint: It involves the phrase "You aren't doing drugs, are you?" - How to still be on good terms with your son after his mohawk grows out and piercings close.
