Imo it makes it more useful than it is now. Something you could pop for aoe trash since our aoe got nerfed big time.
This is move in the wrong direction if you ask me, instead of an on demand way to burn rage this moves it more towards a dps CD.Inner Rage has been redesigned. It now reduces the cooldown on Heroic Strike and Cleave by 50% (to 1.5 second) for the next 15 seconds. 1-minute cooldown. It still cannot be used during Deadly Calm. This ability was originally designed to help warriors with rage capping, but the Heroic Strike and rage normalization changes seem to have solved that problem on their own. This new design will still allow warriors to burn off excess rage faster, at their discretion
Instead of having a second rage dumping mechanic this seems to reward you for filling that rage bar once a minute to burn it off.
Perhaps the percentage based buff from inner rage on live is causing scaling issues somewhere.
If this is meant to be an on demand rage dump when HS isnt enough why the one minute CD ?
Forgive me if this seems like a gut reaction.
Finally came to use and love inner rage. For me its does exactly whats advertised in raids. 5mans it has become a quality of life button, allowing me to pick and choose what to fire off instead of fire off everything ya can while keeping enough for shield bash.
I really hope they look at Inner Rage again, and put some more thought into their redesign.
Imo it makes it more useful than it is now. Something you could pop for aoe trash since our aoe got nerfed big time.
It's still an on-demand rage burn - VERY similar to what we've had before 4.0. Too much rage? Pop IR and spam HS - just like the good ole days. Getting low on rage? Stop hitting HS - just like the good ole days.
The current implemtation of IR requires you to modify your rotation while it's active and/or setup cancelaura macros so you don't rage starve yourself and net a DPS loss, instead of a DPS gain. Although I'm not sure it's going to work out the way they want for Prot Warriors.
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
I re-read the patch notes:
"Cleave damage has been reduced by 20%."
"War Academy no longer buffs Heroic Strike or Cleave"
So doesn't that mean more than a 5-6% loss of cleave damage? I'm no math wiz but my assumption was a 35% damage reduction.

Assuming Cleave makes up for about 20% of damage done in an AE scenario.
.2 * .32 = .064 = 6.4%
If Cleave is more than 20% of your damage in AE, it will be a larger hit for you.

I'd rather see Inner Rage switched with Deadly Calm. I don't feel that I am missing a tool to deal with excess rage, but something to help the dry spots would be very welcome. Then they can give arms something else to make up for the warbringer changes.
I really don't like this change, i do not want to go back to having to spam HS even if it is for only 25% of the time. As a prot warrior i'd macroed this into most of my offensive abilities, being off the GCD and needing 75 rage to be usable it meant that i would automatically shift into high rage costs whenever i had sufficent rage, Of course i created counterpart /cancel aura macro's to most of the utility spells(Spell relflect, interupts, shouts), this hadd three very nice consequences; It made it much harder to cap rage, it made it alot easier to dump rage (HS costing 45 rage is a real dump), and if i managed to starve myself i could cancel aura and suddenly my bars lit up with available abilties.
In my self centered arrogance I suspect the change is becuase it is quite easy to do the above and trivialise the use of Inner rage, and Rage management in general. though i suspect the new IR doesn't really solve that either, just means you have to spam more a qaurter of the time.
How many warriors really think they are going to have the rage to continue their rotation and dump 10HSs in 15 secs?
Like i posted on the PTR forums, please give us a Glyph to keep it functioning as it is now.
Dislike: rather long cooldown but to be fair if you're at 100 rage all the time there are other things Blizzard needs to address, not the cooldown of Inner Rage.
that's not exactly what i meant by continuing our rotation, but i damn hope it end up that way as then Blizz will prolly nerf it to the ground. its meant to be a speed up our rate of dumpage, not a something we save up rage so we can pop for a tps boost.
I just don't see how IR is broken for prot warriors. could someone explain that?
It's not necessarily broken, it just requires doing some very complex mental gymnastics - along with cancelaura macros - to use it for maximum effect.
Just as an example, currently using Inner Rage on Revenge is always worth it. 100% of the time. It costs you 2.5 rage for 15% more Revenge damage. That's an amazing tradeoff. Same for Shockwave and B&T Thunder Clap - the rage:damage efficiency on it is superb. If you are using it with those abilities, Inner Rage isn't a "rage dump" tool, because it's actually more efficient than some of your normal rotational stuff.
Conversely, using it on Heroic Strike is almost never worth it - it costs you 15 rage for 15% more Heroic Strike damage. Not as amazing. It's very easy to bleed your rage bar dry doing this, too. This is probably more what they had in mind, but it's so horribly inefficient that it leaves you starved if incoming damage winds down even a little bit - 45 rage Heroic Strike suck you dry quick.
This makes it pretty complex and really rewards /cancelaura Inner Rage macros and the manual dexterity of a virtuoso pianist, which is probably not what they had in mind.
I think the new Inner Rage is bad too, though. They got rid of the WotLK Heroic Strike mechanics for a reason. Spamming 2+ buttons every 1.5s is not fun.
Additionally, I think it's bad because they continue to treat Cleave as a rage dump. Cleave's not a rage dump all that often; it's a staple AOE threat ability, and even after the nerfs to it in 4.0.6 it will still be our most important AOE threat skill on groups of 2-4 mobs. Given that, they've basically just created a new AOE DPS cooldown, and if threat ever becomes a serious concern I don't really want to be waiting on Inner Rage between pulls.
I don't think its that complex, we have SO much rage that you basically put it up when you can, and then cancel it when you rage starve or use an ability with a rage cost that doesn't damage. I love it. Much better than spamming HS. and much easier to manage than having 15secs of super dumpage, I mean its pretty much fire and forget at this point. i don't have to worry about saving IR for the mega dump, wasting rage now becuase if i activate it i may get to use a couple of extra HS's off and then 10 secs of not back to back HSing, whereas later i may get 4 or 5 extra HS in.
i defintely ain't a pianist with these chubby digits, I'm not saying IR is perfect as is, but that this IR change is a step in the wrong direction. I'm not spamming HS waiting for the CD. and if we are we should be using HS with IR.
i think it may be better if they kept IR how is but changed the +15% dmg to +X% base AP that way we get a flat damgae increase rather than some super scaling freaky thing
I'm more of a fan of the 'new' Inner Rage than the old one...but I still feel like it's a poor mechanic.
I thought the idea was to move away from having to spam the Heroic Strike button? It's bad enough that it's on a distinct GCD now...but having to maintain TWO 1.5s GCDs at the same time? Are they trying to cause carpal tunnel syndrome in all Prot Warriors or something?
Oddly enough, I'm surprised they didn't go back to the automatic approach on this one. Something that automatically reduced the cooldown of Heroic Strike based on reaching max rage would be slightly more attractive--but it still feels like they're trying too hard to make the idea of the mechanic work even though it is neither proven nor needed.

How about:
Inner Rage
"Whenever you reach 75 Rage or more, your Heroic Strike and Cleave cooldowns are reset and your next Heroic Strike or Cleave does 15% more damage, but costs 50% more Rage"
This would be on auto-cast, giving you extra HS/Cleave with the current Inner Rage buff

Yeah, an ability that activates automatically is the best solution for a spell that has such a tight activation window as Inner Rage has at the moment.
Every time I could use it I hit a skill a millisecond after that and I fall under 75 rage.
Macroing would be a solution but first I think Blizzard doesn't like abilities that need macro support to be useful and I could not find a fitting macro solution for Inner Rage at all.

Es ist der Kodo mit seinem Rind.
Well for Inner Rage, I would say that you could macro it to Revenge & possibly Shockwave and then cancelaura-macros on everything else.
The problem then becomes that you need 15-20 macros JUST to use 1 ability.

If it activates automatically they cannot make it consume more rage. There are too many situations where you would rather have the extra rage since its not like rage gain is very spikey or fast unless you are seriously hasted. Inner Rage was total garbage before for this reason and almost only utilized to exploit the cost of Execute or to be quickly cancelled before another special was performed. This new iteration of Inner Rage does not suffer from these problems at least.
What bothers me about this change is they go changing our on next hit attacks so we don't need to spam abilities like a madman and now they are giving us a 1.5 second ability off the GCD mixed with a 3 second ability. C'mon really? Can't we get a bit less of an annoying rotation where a 200-300 ping isn't enough to severely impact your dps because the clipping is so perfect.
They went telling us how the new meta game would involve actually not having to hit an ability every single GCD whereas in Fury I'm finding myself not even having enough GCDs to actually do that when Bloodsurge starts proccing alot....
Theres so many more creative things they can do. They could make something like Vengeance where if you gain rage that puts you over 100 it temporarily boosts your attack power but stacks/destacks similarly to Vengeance. They could make it temporarily decrease our GCD so we can spam a few abilities really quickly and dump the rage. They could make it store up rage in some secondary pool that we could pop when we are rage starved.
Instead of looking for solutions that not only fix the problem but also help remedy other issues we have as a class they just stuff us with spamming more buttons faster.

You can use Inner Rage in Def stance?
I never had longish(more than 10s) phases of too much rage so I'd even consider hotkeying old Inner Rage.
I would also very much prefer WarTotem's idea. There's no issue with reducing 3s CDs to 1.5s CDs. Any of you guys actually check is HS/Cleave is off CD before you hit that button/scroll that mouse wheel? Anyone? I don't track that CD. If I have excess rage, I use my mousewheel. Old habits, I guess.

Oregon state employee smoking ban takes effect
Jan 4, 2013 | 2 Comments
By The Associated Press
SALEM — A no-smoking rule has taken hold throughout most of Oregon's state government, and with a few exceptions, state workers have to go outside to a sidewalk or private property to light up.
Prison guards are among the exceptions because there's no convenient place for them to smoke, the Salem Statesman Journal reported.
Gov. John Kitzhaber, who is a physician, signed the order in August, and it went into effect Tuesday. He said it would save money.
"Conservative estimates find that the state employees who smoke cost the state more than $13 million per year," says his executive order.
About 4 percent of Oregon's 50,000 state workers smoke, according to a survey done by the state benefits board. The ban extends to chewing tobacco.
Workers will mostly be on the honor system, since the governor can't issue fines.
"People generally respond to rules, honestly," said Tony Green, spokesman for the Department of Administrative Services.
The state has slowly been pushing workers toward quitting. Its health insurance benefits cover programs and products to help people quit, and a new health engagement program will require smokers to take smoking cessation classes.
Workers who use tobacco are charged $25 per month on top of their insurance premiums, and if they and their spouse use tobacco, the charge is $50.
The state has been steadily reducing smoking areas in Oregon, requiring smoke-free workplaces in a 2001 law and extending that in 2007 to bars and restaurants.
Within state government, the Department of Corrections, Oregon Youth Authority and Department of Parks and Recreation have until the end of 2014 to come up with a plan that will allow their employees to comply with the new ban.
Prisons, for example, are so large and the working areas so far from privately owned land that it's unclear where those employees will go to smoke.
The ban doesn't apply to college campuses, although some have already created similar rules.
Barb O'Neill, an administrative specialist with the Department of Education, said she didn't mind the new rule but was frustrated with how it was implemented.
"It makes sense, but they never told us where we could smoke," she said. "There's no specific area where we're allowed."
Green said the state did that on purpose.
"We're not telling people where they can smoke," he said. "We're just telling them where they can't."
O'Neill said the new rule has had its intended effect: She plans to quit.
"I can't afford it, it's bad for your health, and this is kind of the clincher," she said.

If a correctional officer cannot cope with not smoking tobacco over the course of a shift ... it begs another question. Why not switch to chewing tobacco, would that not be a healthier choice for a nicotine addict working on government property?
I see this as no different than using any other addictive substance that can be taken/used for personal reasons. Smokers are more of a threat to others than chewers/dippers are.

Muslim Health Advocates
July 13, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Neveen Abdelghani
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) A delegation from American Muslim Health Professionals (AMHP) visited Washington, DC on June 25-26 to advocate for health reform. The group met with a number of congressional offices and partner organizations, including Faithful for Health Reform, which held a rally at Freedom Plaza representing a coalition of faith community leaders passionate about health access and equity.
With domestic health care reform high on the President's agenda, AMHP felt the time was right to move forward with more direct and reaching advocacy efforts. "Both the Senate and the House were all on the right track regarding eliminating certain health care costs," explained Dr. Yasir Shareef, neurologist from Phoenix who had the opportunity to meet with congressional staffers. "Currently, there are over 120 million people either uninsured or underinsured, and this motivates us to work harder before the problem continues to get worse."
Members of AMHP felt a trip to Washington was critical in order to voice their concerns during this short window of opportunity for comprehensive reform. AMHP has been deeply engaged in issues of health reform. Last year, AMHP Policy Analyst, Rabia Akram, drafted a health policy brief comparing the McCain and Obama plans for healthcare overhaul. Since then, AMHP has led a grassroots effort to articulate a vision for change. AMHP organized a number of health reform seminars across the country in March of this year. "These seminars attracted experts in the field that were able to educate and empower our communities to understand the nature of this crisis and take action", said Dr.Faisal Qazi, President of AMHP and architect of its policy program.
"From both an Islamic and an American background, it is our duty to support these grassroots efforts in order to get things going," said Dr. Shareef, a member AMHP's Task Force on Health Affordability. Members of this team have been constantly evaluating the data and following the language and committee hearings closely.
The AMHP Washington, DC delegation was an extension of this process. Dr. Imran Khan, a member of the Task Force said, "It was a tremendous learning opportunity and we realized that these laws, even if 800 pages long, are written by people like you and me, most of whom appreciate some help writing them."
Khizer Husain, the lead Washington-based coordinator for this recent lobby day said, "Muslim Americans need to build relationships with legislators. We can be a conduit to our communities and folks on the Hill appreciate this."
Besides this commitment to political engagement and health reform, AMHP enjoys the unique position of having a comprehensive public health view and has become an organization focused on education, prevention, access, delivery and policy in the realm of healthcare. The organization's work places an emphasis on public service to all members of the community.

- OFET (1) (remove)
- Donor-Acceptor Block Copolymers in Organic Electronics - Spectroscopy, Charge Transport, Morphology and Device Application (2010)
- Organic electronic devices have attracted increasing attention over the last decade. The use of organic materials allows the creation of large area, flexible and low-cost lightemitting devices, transistors and photovoltaics. The development of new organic materials contributes to a successful commercialisation. The present work deals with the characterisation of novel donor-acceptor block copolymers and their constituent polymer blocks that are well-suited for organic photovoltaics. Block copolymers phase-separate and self-assemble into nanostructured morphologies due to the covalent linkage of the two blocks. The interplay between intermolecular interactions, mesoscopic crystalline structures and the block copolymer microphase separation determine the material properties and therefore the device characteristics. Thus, these block copolymers offer a unique platform to study the electronic and photophysical properties of confined donor-acceptor systems. This work is concerned with the fundamental characterisation of these properties as well as the application in organic field effect transistors and organic solar cells. The acceptor polymer block poly(perylene bisimide acrylate) (PPerAcr) consists of perylene bisimide (PBI) units that are linked to a polyacrylate backbone. We have investigated the homopolymer PPerAcr, a model block copolymer in conjunction with polystyrene (PS), as well as fully functionalised block copolymers with a donor block either made of poly(vinyl triphenylamine) (PvTPA) or poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). These polymers offer a set of electronically active materials with several hierarchical structures: The PBI moieties feature intermolecular pi-pi interactions that lead to crystalline side chains of PPerAcr that form a lattice of one-dimensional stacks of PBI. Further nanoscopic structures are induced by the combination of PPerAcr with another amorphous block or another semi-crystalline block such as P3HT due to phase separation. Since PPerAcr is used as an electron transporting material in all subsequent block copolymers, its structural, optical and electronic properties are investigated in detail. The intermolecular interactions of the PBI moieties favour not only charge transport, but also affect the optical properties, due to the electronic coupling of the transition dipole moments. Thus, optical spectroscopy such as absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy give access to information about the intermolecular packing, which is correlated with temperature dependent X-ray diffraction studies. The strong intermolecular packing of the PBI units can be overcome by solvent-vapour exposure. This is especially helpful to induce polymer chain mobility, enabling the completion of block copolymer phase separation for example. This method was studied in detail by means of in-situ spectroscopy and ellipsometry during controlled solvent-vapour exposure. Spincoated films of PvTPA-b-PPerAcr exhibit an incomplete phase separation and can be transformed into an ordered lamellar morphology by solvent-vapour annealing. In addition to PvTPA, we have characterised further poly(triarylamines) with different electron-rich substituents at the TPA units in OFETs. All these polymers are amorphous side-chain polymers. We found the charge carrier mobility to be independent of the molecular weight, though allowing an adjustment of their thermal properties for device fabrication. This is in contrast to P3HT, which is a semi-crystalline, conjugated main chain polymer. X-ray diffraction, steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy, as well as the transistor device characterisation were employed to establish a charge transport - morphology relation for the donor-acceptor block copolymers P3HT-b-PPerAcr containing two crystalline blocks. Controlling the crystallisation preferences of the two blocks leads to a new processing route for OFETs with tunable p-type, ambipolar, or n-type transport through a one-time thermal annealing step. The application of P3HT-b-PPerAcr in organic photovoltaic devices showed also very promising results with high external quantum efficiencies. Subsequently, the photophysics of P3HT-b-PPerAcr by means of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy were investigated. All block copolymers exhibited an ultra-fast charge-pair formation and a strongly reduced photoluminescence, suggesting domain sizes of only some nanometres. Although efficient charge separation could be accomplished, a good charge percolation was lacking due to small domain sizes. Furthermore the herein presented results emphasis the fundamental importance of morphology and interfacial properties such as crystallinity. These findings motivate the further use of block copolymers as compatibilising agents for polymer blends to improve their interface and morphology.

30 mph speed limit proposed in Goffstown
The roads exempted from the town wide speed limit would be set at 35 or 25 mph. Also exempt would be state Routes 13 and 114, where the speed limit goes up to 40 mph in some areas.
"This came about as a result of requests over many years from people who came before the highway safety committee," said Town Administrator Sue Desruisseaux. She said the committee determined that rather than change the speed limits on individual roads, it would be more efficient to set a town-wide limit of 30 mph and make some exceptions.
"No one has come forward and asked for a higher speed limit," Desruisseaux said. "And some people may be upset to see their road go from 25 mph to 30, so they should be aware of that. And if they're not OK with that, then they should attend the public hearing on this. We want to hear from people who are going to be affected by this."
The second public hearing on the proposed ordinance is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, April 8, at town hall.
The reason for setting a town-wide speed limit at 30 mph, according to the language of the ordinance, is "to promote a safer and more orderly flow of traffic and safety for pedestrians, cyclists and others on and around the roadways." The research and statistics - compiled over several years by the traffic safety committee - indicate that people tend to drive too fast through town; that's why this ordinance is being proposed, Desruisseaux said.
The exceptions to the uniform standard are:
--Center Street between Tibbetts Hill Road and Tirrell Hill Road, 25 mph;
--Main Street between High Street and Mountain Road, 25 mph;
--South Mast between Mountain Road and Park Lane, 25 mph;
--Goffstown Back Road between Jason Drive and the Manchester city line, 35 mph;
--Wallace Road between Stacey Lane and the Bedford town line, 35 mph;
--Shirley Hill Road between Route 114 and Wallace Road, 35 mph;
--Tibbetts Hill Road from Lauren Lane to Black Brook Road, 35 mph;
--East Dunbarton Road from Black Brook Road to the Dunbarton town line, 35 mph;
--Tirrell Hill Road between Center Street and Montelona Road, 35 mph.
The proposed ordinance would increase speed limits from 25 to 30 mph on Merrill Road, Cinnamon Drive, Ginger Drive, Coriander Way, Peppermint Drive, Sage Court and Thyme Drive.
A complete list of the roads affected by the ordinance will be available at the public hearing. A copy of the proposed ordinance and a map of affected streets are available on the town's website.

Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But if your child or teen has a persistent pattern of tantrums, arguing, and angry or disruptive behavior toward you and other authority figures, he or she may have oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
As a parent, you don't have to go it alone in trying to manage a child with oppositional defiant disorder. Doctors, counselors and child development experts can help.
Treatment of ODD involves therapy, training to help build positive family interactions, and possibly medications to treat related mental health conditions.
It may be difficult at times to recognize the difference between a strong-willed or emotional child and one with oppositional defiant disorder. It's normal to exhibit oppositional behavior at certain stages of a child's development. But there is a range between the usual independence-seeking behavior of children and that of oppositional defiant disorder.
Signs of ODD generally begin before a child is 8 years old. Sometimes ODD may develop later, but almost always before the early teen years. When ODD behavior develops, the signs tend to begin gradually and then worsen over months or years.
Your child may be displaying signs of ODD instead of normal moodiness if the behaviors:
The following are behaviors associated with ODD:
These behaviors might cause your child to regularly and consistently:
In addition, your child isn't likely to see his or her behavior as defiant. Instead, your child will probably believe that unreasonable demands are being placed on him or her.
Oppositional defiant disorder often occurs along with other behavioral or mental health problems such as:
The symptoms of ODD may be difficult to distinguish from those of other behavioral or mental health problems.
It's important to diagnose and treat any co-occurring illnesses because they can create or worsen irritability and defiance if left untreated. Additionally, it's important to identify and treat any related substance abuse and dependence. Substance abuse and dependence in children may be associated with irritability and changes in the child's usual personality.
If you're concerned about your child's behavior or your own ability to parent a challenging child, seek help from your doctor, a child psychologist or child behavioral expert. Your primary care doctor or your child's pediatrician can refer you to someone who is appropriate.
The earlier this disorder can be managed, the better. Treatment can help restore your child's self-esteem and rebuild a positive relationship between you and your child. Your child's relationships with other important adults in his or her life — such as teachers, clergy and care providers — also will benefit from early treatment.
There's no known clear cause of oppositional defiant disorder. Contributing causes may be a combination of inherited and environmental factors, including:
ODD is a complex problem involving a variety of influences, circumstances and genetic components. There's no single factor that causes ODD.
Possible risk factors include:
Stressful changes that disrupt a child's sense of consistency — such as divorce or changing child care — increase the risk of disruptive behavior. However, though these changes may help explain disrespectful or oppositional behavior, they don't excuse it. If you're concerned about your child's behavior or trouble adjusting to life changes, talk with your doctor.
Many children with oppositional defiant disorder have other treatable conditions, such as:
If these conditions are left untreated, managing ODD can be very difficult for the parents, and frustrating for the affected child. Children with oppositional defiant disorder may have trouble in school with teachers and other authority figures and may struggle to make and keep friends.
ODD may be a precursor to other, more-severe problems such as conduct disorder, substance abuse and severe delinquency.
If your child has signs and symptoms common to oppositional defiant disorder, make an appointment with your child's doctor. After an initial evaluation, your doctor may refer you to a mental health professional, who can help make a diagnosis and create the right treatment plan for your child.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Questions to ask the doctor at your child's initial appointment include:
Questions to ask if your child is referred to a mental health provider include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions during your appointment.
Being ready to answer your doctor's questions may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. You should be prepared to answer the following questions from your doctor:
To be diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, a child must meet criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Criteria for oppositional defiant disorder to be diagnosed include a pattern of behavior that lasts at least six months and includes at least four of the following:
These behaviors must be displayed more often than is typical for your child's peers.
In addition, to be diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, a child's disruptive behavior:
It can be difficult for doctors to sort and exclude other associated disorders — for example, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder versus oppositional defiant disorder. These two disorders are commonly diagnosed together.
Treating oppositional defiant disorder generally involves several types of psychotherapy and training for your child — as well as for you and your co-parent. Treatment often lasts several months or longer.
If your child has co-existing conditions, particularly ADHD, medications may help significantly improve symptoms. However, medications alone generally aren't used for ODD unless another disorder co-exists.
The cornerstones of treatment for ODD usually include:
As part of parent training, you may learn how to:
Although some parent management techniques may seem like common sense, learning to use them in the face of opposition isn't easy, especially if there are other stressors at home. Learning these skills will require consistent practice and patience.
Most important in treatment is for you to show consistent, unconditional love and acceptance of your child — even during difficult and disruptive situations. Don't be too hard on yourself. This process can be tough for even the most patient parents.
At home, you can begin chipping away at problem behaviors by practicing the following:
At first, your child probably won't be cooperative or appreciate your changed response to his or her behavior. Expect that you'll have setbacks and relapses, and be prepared with a plan to manage those times. In fact, behavior can temporarily worsen when new limits and expectations are set. However, with perseverance and consistency, the initial hard work often pays off with improved behavior and relationships.
Being the parent of a child with ODD isn't easy. Counseling for you can provide you with an outlet for your frustrations and concerns. In turn, this can lead to better outcomes for your child because you'll be more prepared to deal with problem behaviors. Here are some tips to help you:

WC 'Writing a New Chapter' with Ambitious Building Project
College Breaks Ground for Science & Agriculture Center
January 29, 2014
Participating in the groundbreaking ceremony are, from the left, Robert Touchton, chair of the Board of Trustees; Robert Chason, campaign co-chair; Bill Kincaid, professor of mathematics; Sarah Sinclair, senior biology major; Tony Logan, USDA; President Jim Reynolds; Sandy Neville, Board vice chair; Mike DiNardo, architect/principal with The Collaborative; Erika Goodwin, vice president for academic affairs; Ashley Kelly, USDA; and Wilmington Mayor Randy Riley.
Friday afternoon's (Jan. 24) groundbreaking ceremony for the Center for the Sciences and Agriculture represents a milestone in the nearly 144-year history of Wilmington College.
Construction will begin in the coming weeks on a 13,500-square foot addition to the 34,000 square-foot Kettering Hall. Also, the more than half-century-old Kettering Hall will undergo a comprehensive renovation. Expected completion of the $13 million project is summer 2015.
President Jim Reynolds described it as "a real special time" for the College.
"This has been a long time coming," he said about the building project. "I really believe in this place and I believe that together we can do remarkable things. Today, I am asking you to believe. This place is worth your belief.
"We're going forward as an institution and I want you all to be part of it."
A 40-minute program in Heiland Theatre culminated with Reynolds offering the 300-plus members of the audience a choice: join him in traversing the campus through a sub-zero wind chill to watch the actual shoveling of dirt at the soon-to-be building site or view a live video feed of the proceedings in the comfort and warmth of the auditorium.
Surprisingly (or not) 90 percent of the crowd lined the sidewalks and stood in the snow to watch 11 selected stakeholders throw dirt. Then, scores of the crowd grabbed the shovels and hard hats for their own photo op and piece of this historic day.
With the day's harsh weather forecast in mind, the dirt used in the ceremony was stored indoors all week.
(LEFT) The new wing as viewed from the campus mall.
Robert Touchton, a 1965 alumnus, adjunct faculty member and chair of the Board of Trustees, said, "We're ready to write a new chapter" in the history of Wilmington College.
"We have something special to offer at Wilmington — I hear it from alumni and I hear it from my students," he said. "My own life was transformed by my experience here."
The new facility is designed to transform the teaching of math, science and agriculture at Wilmington College.
Fellow trustee Robert Chason, Class of '65, has co-chaired the Center's fundraising steering committee that helped secure some $6 million raised from 260 donors toward the project in the past several years.
(RIGHT) This view from the north features the new wind on the left and the renovated building on the right.
"This is an opportunity for me to give something back to the College that has done so much for me," he said, noting that trustees have contributed $1.5 million. "Because of the generosity of so many through the years, Wilmington College is a wonderful place and will continue to be."
The new addition and renovated structure will house 10 laboratories, three research labs, 10 classrooms, two conference rooms and 30 offices. It has been designed to achieve a silver or gold LEED certification as an environmentally friendly "green" building in its design, construction, operation and maintenance.
The existing part of the facility will be reconfigured and upgraded for optimal use of space with a special consideration placed upon the building infrastructure.
Bill Kincaid, professor of mathematics, has been teaching at WC since 1969, "when Kettering was practically new," he recalled. Kincaid mentioned some of the amenities it offered then, such as private offices for faculty, a telephone shared by the math department and state-of-the-art science labs.
(LEFT) An aerial view highlights the new facility's location on campus.
However, time has taken its toll and the old building is in need of an upgrade, expansion and modern-ization. "There's only one women's restroom in Kettering and it's on the third floor," he lamented. "In 1969, women didn't go into science and math (and agriculture)."
While that fact has certainly changed, one thing hasn't in his 45 years at WC — and that's how each year starts with the promise of a transforming experience for students.
"Every fall, you don't know who's going to shine," he said.
One of those students that has shone like a diamond is senior biology major Sarah Sinclair, who praised the mentoring and opportunities for student/faculty research she has received during the past four years.
While she will graduate this spring and no longer be a student when the new building opens, Sinclair expressed her excitement for her College and its future students.
"This project will bring WC's (science and agriculture) facilities up to par and will help attract additional bright and motivated students," she said.
"Wilmington is a place for opportunities to establish personal and professional friendships," Sinclair added. "It is a great place to find yourself as a student, a person and a professional."
The College will proceed immediately with the building project as a result of a $20 million, low interest loan awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which was represented by Tony Logan, the USDA's Ohio state director of Rural Development.
"A vibrant agriculture sector is a stimulant to the economy," Logan said, noting there's "never been a more exciting time" in which to be involved in agriculture. "This new agriculture (facility) is the consummate rural development project."

This game can be controller smashing frustrating at times, but a great joy at others. The monsters are the biggest I ever seen, even bigger than Monster Hunter or Demon Souls, but the main problem is this game was made from the ground up as a co-op game and without online help your not going to get very far. NPC 'buddies' are thick , and as useful as a chocloate fire-guard. But if you have a round of mates and they are willing to die, often, you will find some amazing co-op set pieces.

And this might be completely true, but there is something DEEPLY wrong about shouting down an elected official who wants consideration of the situation where nonelected public officials have an enormous impact on the public sphere - especially when they have an evidence process (drug testing) that has uncovered nothing, just charging and convicting based on verbal testimony. Yes, that's important - but at face value, you couldn't bring the same kind of evidence to most other arenas. There needs to be a smoking gun... and when you can't prove there were any shots fired, except "I saw him fire the gun", that's a situation that deserves the attention of the US Senate/Congress.
Let's look at the alternative scenario. The USA clearly spends an ENORMOUS amount of money on sport, and has done so for decades. Surely the body that responsible for policing that should be held accountable for their actions, as public servants? Should politicians wilfully turn a blind eye to the incredible expense and probable waste of resources pursuing a dud case, when it is possible that other juicers are not being properly pursued? Or that all the funds spent on testing is being wasted, because they aren't using the evidence anyway? Do they have an appropriate process in place for these actions against sportsmen? (We are assuming that USADA has due diligence in place, and responsible decision makers running the place).

How the Bitter Losers of 2012 Rammed Through a Union-Destroying Bill in Michigan
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The lightning-quick adoption of union-busting 'right-to-work' legislation in Michigan this week by an outgoing, lame-duck Legislature was a political coup led by vengeful Republicans as payback for their corporate patrons, including the billionaire oil baron Koch brothers and their front group, Americans for Prosperity.
There is no other way to interpret the events of the past few days other than to see it in the starkest of Hobbesian terms: while the state's GOP still held legislative power, it enacted a bill to undermine the fundraising ability of organized labor—an obsession among right-wingers dating to the 1940s South, when states enacted similar laws to prevent organized labor from helping civil rights activists.
The package of three bills introduced late last week and quickly passed and signed by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder makes it illegal for employers and unions to negotiate contracts that require non union-members to pay a fair share of the costs of the union's representation. About 17 percent of Michigan's workforce is affiliated with a union.
Fast-forward to 2012 and the apparently stalled fiscal-cliff talks in Washington—where GOP House Speaker John Boehner cannot satisfy the Right in another lame duck body—and what emerges is a political landscape as bitter as the worst moments of the 2012 campaign.
Indeed, the outcome of the 2012 elections—nationally and in Michigan, where the GOP resoundingly lost—was irrelevant to those still in power in Michigan. That is why the ram-rodding of the union-busting legislation is a political coup, achieving by fiat what could not pass muster at the voting booth.
Let's go through these points in more detail to better understand what's happened.
1. A Bitter Swipe By 2012's Losers
Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney in Michigan by about 10 percent of the vote—almost a half-million voters—despite millions spent by the Koch Brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity and other pro-corporate political front groups. Republicans also lost seats in their Legislature, which will take affect in January when new lawmakers are sworn in.
The Democratic gains in large measure depended on the get-out-the-vote efforts by the state's labor unions, which, as was the case in other Midwestern states, were less visible than the GOP's front groups that mostly spent millions on TV advertising. The unions' role in the ground game—identifying and registering voters, knocking on doors and making phone calls, and finally getting people to the polls on November 6—was a striking reminder that organizer labor remained a potent grassroots political force.
Thus, Gov. Snyder's surprise announcement last week that he was reversing his former position that he would not pursue 'right-to-work' legislation was a political declaration of war against opponents who had beaten the GOP fair and square on the electoral field.
2. Right To Work's Southern Segregationist Roots.
As PRWatch's Lisa Graves points out in this analysis, the Orwellian-named right-to-work (RTW) laws first emerged in the post-World War II years in southern states that wanted to thwart the civil rights gains made by returning African-American soldiers and labor unions during the war. Twenty states passed RTW laws in the following decades, including many that saw the laws as a tactic to stop unions from helping civil rights organizers.
In the past 25 years before Michigan's coup, only three states have adopted RTW laws: Idaho in 1995; Oklahoma in 2001; and Indiana in 2012. Indeed, as PRWatch points out, the "2012 presidential election map of 'red' states looks strikingly close to the RTW map. But the vast majority of 'blue' states, like Michigan, have not embraced" the union-busting reform.
3. Championed by 21st Century Corporatists
