Okay, my 3 1/2 year old was diagnosed with ODD about a year ago. He has been seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist since that time. He has no other conditions along with that. He is getting worse and worse every single day! I can no longer take him even to the grocery store with me no matter how short of a trip it is. Dr.'s appointments are a nightmare! I have done everything that his Dr's have suggested and nothing helps. They say that he is to young for prescriptions and have me giving him fish oil in the morning and Benadryl to help him sleep. He screams at the top of his lungs all day long. He throws stuff. He breaks stuff. He hurts his 1 year old brother. He hurts me. He will hit complete strangers out in public. Cusses everyone he sees. Tells me he hates me, wants me to buy him a new Mommy, etc. We have tried taking things away, sitting in a corner, standing in a corner, going to bed, going to his room, everything imaginable. I cannot visit family or friends because of the way he acts, and if they come visit they only come after he is in bed. I have been forced to take an at-home job and had to switch from on-campus classes to online classes, because a babysitter is out of the question. He stays up until 1 or 2 in the morning and is up no later than 7, and gets up a few times during the night. I have had to end a long-term relationship because he is unbearable to be around.
Does anyone have a similar story or some ideas that I could try? I have tried everything that me and 3 mental health Dr's can think of.

if you are interested in the wholistic way, melatonin is supposed to help calm children down at night.
BUT, personally, i would get another doctor. My son was diagnosed at 3 1/2 and started meds not too long after. he started on ritlin and after 6-7 months we had to change to focalin. he's now 6 and on 20 mg. Along the way we had to add another med to help stabilize. I hate having him on meds but he's finally doing well behaviorwise in school. I was really afraid for him to start kindergarten, but with hard work and meds, he's really progressing. You have to find a psych who treats young children. Most start at 6 years old. I found one who would help at 4. my ped gave meds at 3 1/2 after me visiting with 3 separate psych.'s keep looking, keep searching. Look into a neurologist also. I'm about to visit one for the first time. Sometimes, they can get a more complete picture....
good luck.

how does he deal with men? is he angry with them. maybe he needs a good strong compassionate man in his life. how is his dad? i'm not judging. i am the mother of two boys and they rely on their father for much different things than what i can give them.
i just posted a question about sugar addiction and odd. my son has been diagnosed with odd. the hate comments, the killing comments, have all stopped since i took a strict look at his diet. he stays home alot now and only i have control over his diet. i have seen MANY withdrawal symptoms. it was HARD to remove the sugar from his body. he was just as your described your son is. this has given me time to understand that the last 5 years i have neglected his emotional needs because i was so focused on his next blowup. i now bend over to talk to him, we don't yell as much, and we tell each other how much we love each other. after five years of pure hell i have a different son. i have to maintain my diet control on him and that gets difficult everyday. he can't even eat fast food. it's packed with sugar. i would much rather stay home and love him, than have that child back that i spent five years trying to understand.
the docs were getting ready to put him on everything they could think of. i had to do something. and this has worked.

I am trying to locate a child psychiatrist somewhere near me. It appears that the closest one is 4 hours away and cannot see him for 7 months, but I'll take it.
Men are the ONLY people who will remotely listen to at all. His father is not a good figure in his life. Kaiden goes to his paternal grandparents once a week (because they think devote every waking minute to pleasing him, and don't see the problem) and his father lives next door, yet comes over about 5 minutes. Doesn't buy gifts on the holidays, and certainly doesn't try to help me establish rules and consequences. I was with someone since he Kaiden was just a little baby, and we were forced to split up just recently as Kaiden told horrible lies to people about him. He acts the same way towards men and women, but if a man uses a stern voice with him, he will at least hesitate with what he is doing.
Do any of you that give your child no how much I would give him, and when?
Thank you all for your comments!

Melatonin worked wonders for my adopted son, who I believe has ODD. It's been almost 2 yrs (he was 6 when he began taking it) since he began taking it and I noticed an immediate (by that I mean IMMEDIATE--next day 'immediate') difference in his behaviors. His temper tantrums just about disappeared along with his inability to handle any type of excitement (either good or bad). His teacher didn't know that I began using it and sent home a note telling me that he had a great week at school that first week.
His pediatrician and also a psychiatrist that he had just begun to see told me to go ahead and keep using it since it was helping him and it was such a benign medicine. They weren't sure if it helped him because he was getting a better night's sleep or if it was actually helping his moods. I use it for one of my dog's because it is supposed to help them with thunder/noise phobias.
He takes 3 mg (since your son in younger you could start out with 1+1/2 mg), by mouth, just before bedtime. He falls asleep in a very short time (20 minutes or so) compared to before when he would lay there staring at the ceiling for a few hours before falling asleep. You can also get it in the form of drops, which may be easier for a child who can't swallow pills.

Ooops, sorry, my son was just turning 7 yrs old when he began with the melatonin...not 6 yrs as I stated in the above post....duh...lol!

I agree with Melatonin and also about getting a second opinion. I know how frustrating it is. My son is seeing 5 doctors (counselor, therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist and his medical doctor. Nothing is working that they recommend. I finally had enough when I called my dad and told him that I needed a police officer to come and talk with him, I don't know what he said but it has calmed my son. It's been a week now and though he still outburst, he is doing much better. Can you have a male talk with him?? Good luck

Calls for Health Secretary to investigate hospital
Essex MP Sir Bob Russell is to contact the Health Secretary to ask for a thorough investigation into Colchester General Hospital.
It comes after health bosses announced a major incident at the Essex hospital after the Care Quality Commission raised safeguarding concerns during an inspection.
The hospital said it was facing unprecedented demand.
Meanwhile the hospital has warned people to stay away from its Accident and Emergency department, unless they have a serious or life-threatening condition - restrictions which are expected to last for at least a week.
Colchester A&E restrictions will last for about a week
Colchester hospital has warned people to stay away from its accident and emergency department, unless they have a serious or life-threatening condition - restrictions which are expected to last for at least a week.
The announcement follows a surprise inspection by health regulators as ITV news reporter Harry Smith reports:

Another high death rates warning for Colchester Hospital
Colchester Hospital has been named in another list highlighting its worrying death rates.
This time the NHS trust is one of six to be singled out for its "persistently" high figure for patients who die in hospital or within 30 days of discharge.
Six NHS trusts have "persistently" high death rates for patients who die in hospital or within 30 days of discharge, according to new data.
The warning follows a study by the Health and Social Care Information Centre and covers the period from July 2011 to June 2013.
Colchester Hospital has already been highlighted by the Care Quality Commission and analysts Dr Foster for its high death rates and is currently under investigation by police over accusations cancer waiting times were falsified.
Hospital appoints new interim Chief Executive
Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust have appointed Kim Hodgson as its new interim Chief Executive.
She replaces Dr Gordon Coutts who resigned from his position last month following allegations that staff were bullied into changing cancer patient records.
A trained nurse, Ms Hodgson was the former Chief Executive for East Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust and has spent the last three years working continuously with the NHS, specialising in health service improvement.
She will formally take up the interim position next Monday.
Sue Barnett, Deputy Chief Executive at the Trust, today publicly announced her resignation. Sue took charge of the Trust briefly at the end of 2013 after former Chief Executive Dr Gordon Coutts did not return to his post following a period of sick leave.
Colchester Hospital Chief Executive reassures patients over care
Colchester Hospital has been put into special measures by the health watchdog Monitor.
The Trust hit the headlines last week, after claims were made that some staff at the hospital had been bullied into falsifying data to help it meet targets.
This afternoon a meeting of the Trust's board was held at the hospital, where bosses discussed the measures, and took questions from the public.
Afterwards ITV News Anglia spoke to Chief Executive Dr Gordon Coutts.

Breaking: Colchester Hospital put into special measures
Colchester Hospital has been put into special measures by the health sector regulator Monitor in order to "safeguard patient services".
The hospital hit the headlines last week after claims were made that some staff at the hospital had been bullied into falsifying waiting-time data to help it meet targets.
Colchester hospital put into special measures
An "improvement director" and a "high performing hospital trust" will now be appointed to help Colchester hospital improve patient care
Colchester Hospital statement in full
Colchester Hospital says it is not "working on the assumption" that one out of three cancer patients (approximately 2,000 a year) has had their records falsified, as claimed by The Observer newspaper.
Any figures quoted in the media about the number of patients who may have been affected are purely speculative.
We are determined to get to the bottom of all of the concerns and issues raised in the CQC report and we are already working closely with professional regulators, local GPs, North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS England and Essex police to do so.
If there is any evidence that any of our staff have inappropriately adjusted and reported cancer figures, the Trust will take strong action in all cases...
Our priority is the safety and welfare of all cancer patients.
Colchester Hospital rejects claims that 6000 patient records may have been changed
Colchester Hospital has rejected claims that up to 6000 cancer patients may have had their records falsified.
The hospital is the subject of an investigation after it emerged some records had been doctored to meet national standards.
Today a national newspaper claimed one in three cancer patients may have been affected - 2000 each year. But the hospital's trust says those figures are 'purely speculative'. It says it's determined to get to the bottom of what happened and that patient safety remains its priority.

Colchester Hospital battle to win back patients' trust
Colchester General Hospital has announced new measures to improve the quality of care for its patients following claims of a cancer care cover-up earlier this week.
On Tuesday it emerged that the hospital trust had been reported to Essex Police following a damning report from the Care Quality Commission.
Staff at the hospital told inspectors they were "pressured or bullied" to change data to make it seem like people were being treated in line with national guidelines.

Thus far this season the Canton Charge and Erie BayHawks have met a total of six times with the first five victories going to the Charge. That was changed last Friday as Erie got the upper hand and handed a 113-109 defeat to Canton at the Erie Insurance Arena. The loss drops the Charge to 11-7 for the season (8-4 in the East Division Race) while the BayHawks climb to 4-12.
The Charge managed to get within four points after a 15-8 run late in the game, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit that was as high as 18 points during the game. Erie took and held the lead after a Scott Suggs' three pointer with 1:07 left in the first quarter. In spite of Canton forcing 20 turnovers on 10 steals for 21 points, the BayHawks still hit 41-76 from the floor for 54% shooting.
Canton's Jorge Gutierrez led all scorers with 26 points on 10-of-19 shooting with seven rebounds, six assists and a block in 35 minutes. Kevin Jones added 16 points on 7-of-16 shooting with nine rebounds in 25 minutes. Bo Spencer came off the bench to net 17 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 30 minutes. Robert Hite provided a spark of 17 points, five rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes.
Suggs paced the BayHawks with 24 points on 8-of-10 shooting with four assists in 39 minutes. Terrance Jennings provided 18 points and two blocks in 26 minutes of relief. Justin Brownlee posted a double-double of 17 points, 12 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes. Ricky Davis scored 14 points in 38 minutes.
The two teams will wrap up the back-to-back set tomorrow night in Erie at 7:00 p.m. Fans can follow all of the action with a YouTube game steam and live game stats on CantonCharge.com.
Fans can stay up-to-date on team news by following the team at: @CantonCharge on Twitter at www.twitter.com/CantonCharge and on Facebook atwww.facebook.com/CantonCharge.

It is thought that this ancient city set in the heart of a rich wine-growing region dates back to before 1000. Its present status as largest wine-producing centre of Germany has however failed to tarnish the charm of its historic centre. After miraculously escaping the ravages of several wars, the pedestrian town centre is extremely pleasant. Be sure to see the lovely market square and its 16C town hall.

Disease Proof
Heart Disease in Young Children
I admit, kind of a dramatic title, but not without merit. In Disease-Proof Your Child Dr. Fuhrman points out that an unhealthy diet early in life sets the stage for coronary atherosclerosis and heart disease later in life. He's a refresher from the book:
1. Vikari JS, Raitakari OT, Simell O. Nutritional influences on lipids and future atherosclerosis beginning prenatally and during childhood. Curr Opin Lipidol 2002;13(1):11-18.
There is considerable evidence that the lipoprotein abnormalities (high LDL and low HDL) that are linked to heart attack deaths in adulthood begin to develop in early childhood and that higher cholesterol levels eventually get "set" by early food habits.1 What we eat during our childhood affects our lifetime cholesterol levels. For many, changing the diet to a plant-based, low-saturated-fat diet in later life does not result in the favorable cholesterol levels that would have been seen if the dietary improvements were started much earlier in life.And don't forget exercise. According to Reuters a new study has revealed teens that get a minimum of ninety minutes of exercise three times a week reduce their cardiovascular risk. The results are pretty amazing, here's an excerpt:
After six months, tests showed that the exercisers had improved the flexibility of their arteries, allowing these vessels to carry more oxygen-rich blood. Moreover, the already expanded inner layer of their arteries had shrunk.Good thing my folks had me playing soccer and little league when I was a kid. The researchers do point out that primary obstacle to all this is teen's low perseverance and motivation to exercise. Maybe you could just do what my father did, hold my Nintendo hostage until I worked up a sweat.
The exercisers also lowered their cholesterol levels and blood pressure and lost weight.

i have a heart problem at the age of 17. it is very hard for me...im not allowed to play sports, or do many things that a 17 year old is able to do. I really wished my parents would have took better care of me at a young age.

A Great Debate between Dr. Zakir Naik & Dr.William Campbell to Watch More Zakir Naik Speeches in one Clip Click here
to Watch Ahmed Deedat's Full Speeches in One Clip Click here
Dr. Zakir Naik had a unique public debate with Dr. William Campbell on the topic "The Qur'an and the Bible in the light of Science" on April 1, 2000 in Chicago, United States of America.
Dr. William Campbell, a medical doctor and a Christian Missionary, is the author of the book "The Qu'ran and the Bible in the light of history and science" which is a reply to the famous book " The Bible, the Qu'ran and Science" by Dr. Maurice Bucaille. Dr. William Campbell in his book, which is also on the internet, had pointed out several "scientific errors" in the Qu'ran. His book and his contentions were unanswered for several years, and were used by Christian Missionaries to harass the Muslims.Alhamdulillah, the debate proved to be victorious event from the Islamic perspective. Dr. Zakir Naik gave logical and convincing replies to each and every of the alleged scientific error in the Qu'ran pointed out by Dr. William Campbell.
This historic event organised by the 'Islamic Circle of North America', U.S.A., had Dr. William Campbell conceding that he had difficulties in replying to many of the scientific errors in the Bible pointed out by Dr. Zakir Naik.
Video cassettes of this debate were released on September 3, 2000, at the Patkar Hall in Mumbai, where a recording of this unique and historic debate and its question and answer session was screened for the benefit of a packed and over flowing audience of more than a thousand people.
Those who witnessed this recording were extremely pleased with this event, Alhamdulillah. Several positive comments were received as feedback after the programme. One young Muslim stated, "After having seen this programme, for the first time in my life I felt proud of being a Muslim".
Note: Because the crushing defeat of Answering Islam's premiere writer and scholar, Dr. William Campbell, the Answering Islam team has systematically REFUSED to put the debate on their website nor to even make known that such a debate took place to its congregation!

All you need to know about this season of "American Idol" is that Candice Glover drew mega-raves on Wednesday night by singing a nearly 60-year-old song from "West Side Story."
And it wasn't standards or Great White Way night. No, that was the producer's pick for her! You know, because the kids these days, they love them some show tunes, right Rihanna? Candice, Angie Miller and Kree Harrison each sang three songs on the show: a producer's pick, a judge's pick and a Jimmy Iovine selection, and while they all once again proved that they're capable, competent singers, one clear theme emerged: Miller is the only half-way relevant artist in the bunch.
Who hit a triple and who grounded out? Here's our "American Idol" report card.
Angie Miller: Iovine handed Angie Elton John's "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word," and Lil Ange stood somewhat frozen in place for a limp take on the rocket man's hit. Then everyone dinged her for not doing the obvious and playing piano. The tune never got out of first gear and Randy made her restraint seem like a compliment.
The piano was missing in action again on judge's pick Pink's "Try," but this time Miller looked like a milli, strutting and pouting across the stage like a real-life (pop) rock star. Nicki Minaj totally read my mind when she compared Angie to Miley Cyrus.
Angie finally took a seat for Emily Sandé's "Maybe," which showed off the full range of her talents, with plenty of opportunities to climb up into her upper range and pour emotion all over the stage. On a night when the over-the-top praise from the judges was sometimes cringe-worthy, they were right about Miller: she is the only fully formed artist in the mix this year. Grade: A
Candice Glover: When Candy Girl sings, she is truly an old soul. As in, she sounds like an old soul singer from the 1970s. How else to explain that she had never heard U2 or Mary J. Blige's version of the iconic rock band's landmark "One?" Jimmy picked it for her and Glover brought some gospel grit to the Blige version, but when the judges gave her a recent Sandé song as well, "Next To Me," she made it sound like a golden oldie.
Glover can blow, but "Next To Me" was further proof that her stage persona (what there is of it) is custom-built for Broadway, but not pop stardom. And, if that performance is all it takes to bring Nicki to tears, well… I was conflicted over "Somewhere." On the one hand, it was powerful and impressive, but if a nearly six-decade-old song is what producers thought would make Candice feel more contemporary, I officially don't get it. Candice's overwrought diva blowing just isn't what today's female stars are doing anymore. Bet your granny loved it, though. Grade A-
Kree Harrison: Kreedom's problem isn't her voice. It's a gritty, country strong instrument that you could easily hear blasting out of your local hat act station. Her problem is that, like Glover, she's a tabula rasa when it comes to personality. Iovine gave her a leg up with Pink's "Perfect," which she imbued with a clever country twang and the judges seemed to do her a favor with Rascal Flatts' "Here Comes Goodbye." But her vocals were all over the place, including a bit in the middle where it just sounded like she was shouting.
After a touching, tear-jerking home visit package, Harrison clearly packed some serious emotion into the performance. This, however, is a singing competition, not an heart-string tugging contest. The night ended with the Band Perry's "Better Dig Two," which was, again, right in her zone. But when your fiddle player is more interesting to watch than you are, well, you've got trouble. I could see Kree performing this at some country music awards show, and not caring about it then, either. Grade: B
If voters get it right, it should be Miller and Glover standing tall tonight.

Wow. So I think we can safely call that the most dramatic third round for the New Orleans Saints in the NFL draft since their radical 1986 makeover.
Within a flurry of 15 minutes that probably forced another tornado warning in Jefferson Parish, the Saints drafted sleeper Arkansas Pine-Bluff offensive tackle Terron Armstead, traded taiback Chris Ivory and moved up to draft massive Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins.
It's hard not to love every move they made.
I imagine the "Who Dat Nation" is far more excited and energized than they were a day earlier, when the Saints made more of a polarizing pick by drafting safety Kenny Vaccaro in Round 1.
And it was clear that the Saints themselves were fired up about the way things went down on Friday night.
"I'm excited about tonight," Coach Sean Payton said.
Though Payton readily admitted that every team claims they got the guys they wanted this time of year - whether it's true or not - he didn't have to act this time.
Payton explained that heading into Friday night, Armstead and Jenkins were the two highest-rated players on the Saints' wish list of seven or eight guys they were hoping would be available with the 75th pick in Round 3.
As the second and third rounds wore on, all the names from the middle and the bottom of that list fell of the board. But the top three remained - Armstead, Jenkins and Oregon State receiver Markus Wheaton. Payton said they rated all three players as mid-to-late second-rounders.
"It's unpredictable, and I've seen it happen where everyone in your cloud disappears and then you've either got to look to your next plan or move back," Payton said. "So we were fortunate in this case. But time will tell."
The fortunate Saints snatched up Armstead at No. 75 then quickly moved into trade talks with the New York Jets (Ivory for a fourth-round pick) and the Miami Dolphins (two fourth-rounders for the 82nd pick, which they used on Jenkins).
The Saints and Jets had talked for several days about the Ivory trade and had generally agreed on the fair value. But both teams wanted to see how the draft played out before pulling the trigger.
After Wheaton got drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 79, Payton said that both trades were contingent on Jenkins still being around at No. 82.
Payton insisted that he values Ivory as a player and that the Saints would have been content to keep him if the draft hadn't played out the right way.
"If there's a player you really, clearly want, it's easier to make that trade than just randomly trading it and then seeing what's available," Payton explained. "So in this case it kind of happened that way."
As I wrote a few times in recent weeks, I thought an Ivory trade would absolutely be worth it if the Saints could get a fourth-round pick or better.
I think Ivory still has great potential to do a lot of damage in the NFL. And he may wind up being a better player than Jenkins both short-term and long-term. But Ivory was barely used as the Saints' fourth tailback. He was due to make more than $2 million this year. And he has just one year left on his contract.
As much as I liked the trade value for Ivory, though, I liked the Armstead pick even more.
It's hard to say anything definitive about a third-round NFL draft pick. But what could be a better match than the Saints and a "sleeper" offensive lineman from a small school? (See: Jahri Evans and Jermon Bushrod).
The fact that the Saints' No. 1 need right now is a left tackle helps, of course - though it's too early to pencil a third-round pick from a small school into the starting lineup as a rookie. What I like even more is Armstead's high ceiling.
Draft analysts have been raving about the 6-foot-5, 306-pounder, who ran the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71 seconds) and recorded the highest vertical leap (34.5 inches) of any offensive lineman at the NFL scouting combine.
Armstead also ranked eighth in the bench press (31 reps). But as many draft analysts stressed, Armstead is not just a workout warrior.
He first turned scouts' heads by dominating the competition at the East-West Shrine game, then performing well at the Senior Bowl as well.
NFL Draft Scout ranked Armstead as their 48th overall prospect. Here's what their analyst Rob Rang wrote:
"The dazzling straight-line speed Armstead demonstrated at the combine caught the public by surprise but not scouts who saw him dominate competition at the East-West Shrine Game and impress as a late injury replacement at the Senior Bowl, as well."
The Jenkins pick wasn't as obvious of a perfect match, since the Saints had indicated that they were content with using smaller, more athletic defensive tackles in their new 3-4 defense. But that doesn't mean they won't be able to make room for a massive space eater like the 6-foot-3, 359-pound Jenkins - especially on rushing downs, where he should be able to start as a rookie.
Payton said he envisions Jenkins playing closer to 340 pounds. But he'll still be easy to spot.
Former NFL player-turned-analyst Matt Bowen raved about the pick right away in a message:
"Jenkins is a beast. All power at the snap," said Bowen, who also called the Vaccaro pick one of his favorites in Round 1.
If you've lost track, the Saints have now switched defensive coordinators, switched defensive schemes, added free agent cornerback Keenan Lewis and outside linebacker Victor Butler and added top-82 draft picks Vaccaro and Jenkins. They also added veteran free agent depth in end Kenyon Coleman and safety Jim Leonhard.
Apparently they weren't content to sit still after their dreadful defensive performance last year. They may not be drastically improved on that side of the ball in 2013. But they're certainly giving it their best shot.

Boss backs injured Egan
by Stuart Vose
O'Neill's message for defender.
Martin O'Neill has backed young star John Egan to bounce back bigger and better than ever after the defender broke his leg earlier this week.
Egan, 20, was stretchered off during loan club Bradford's game against Plymouth on Tuesday, with subsequent investigations confirming a break.
The likeable Irishman is currently laid up in hospital awaiting an operation and was visited by his manager yesterday.
O'Neill admits Egan is experiencing a tough time but says his natural character will serve him well along the long road to recovery.
"It's been a really bad year for him," the Black Cats boss said. "He lost his father in the early months of this year and then went out to try and get some games.
"We thought that was the right idea and he'd been playing really well, too.
"I saw him yesterday, he's in hospital in Darlington and he'll have an operation on Saturday, but it is a real blow for the player and someone who looks as though he's got a really decent future ahead of him.
"John is very resilient, very strong and I'm sure he'll get over this."

Existential Update: A couple days ago, when the Pistons lost to the Cavs on a last second shot, I was disappointed that Detroit had suffered a defeat, but I was happy Cleveland had gotten a win, because that keeps them ahead of Detroit in the standings. The Pistons currently are clinging to that eighth pick in the draft, but I still feel concern. I hope they can manage to drop one more spot to seventh. At this point, if somebody jumps them, suddenly they aren't picking in the top eight anymore, and they lose their draft pick. I know the Pistons could just as easily end up with a top three pick in the lottery, but those sort of positive notions disappear in the wind. It's the nightmares that stick in your craw.
Also of concern is Detroit's upcoming schedule. They have five games in this upcoming week. That includes Saturday's game in Philadelphia. The 76ers have tied the NBA record for consecutive losses. If they don't beat the Pistons, they break the record. They are awful. They are abysmal. I don't know if they can beat Detroit. This is looking like a win for the Pistons, which is both nice and potentially damaging.
Then, on Monday, the Pistons have to host the Bucks! That's the two worst teams in the league back-to-back. How are you supposed to lose games like that? I also can't really see Detroit losing this one. The Sixers and Bucks are fixin' to lose, and they have the rosters to do it. I guess all we can do is hope the Cavs and Knicks pull off some wins too.
After that, there are a couple games that don't look so good for Detroit. On Wednesday they visit Indiana and then on Friday they visit Brooklyn. Those should both be losses. Even with the Pacers' struggles recently, they will beat the Pistons at home. Lastly, on Saturday the Pistons host the Celtics. This one is a bit of a tossup. Boston isn't very good, but they have some talent, and don't seem as intent at losing. Danny Ainge doesn't seem too hot on this draft class. So maybe the Pistons will lose.
Still, they might win, and I could see Detroit going 3-2 in these games. They would still have less than 30 wins on the season, but they would also get precariously close to losing their pick to the Bobcats. This pick is all they have. It's all we have. I will go down with this ship.

I love cooking and creating my own recipes, but I also love trying other recipes and techniques. Here is a list of my favorite recipes around the web! Beware: Most of them are very indulgent!
I cheat and use jarred sauce because it makes this recipe that much quicker. These meatballs are so simple, yet so tasty. They also freeze well, but they usually don't last more than 3 days with having Mr. Fitness around.
When Mr. Fitness and I moved into our house, we immediately started painting. I quickly realized that I hate painting and it makes me extremely whiny. I found this recipe and told him that I couldn't paint because I wanted to make this. He didn't quite buy it, but it turned out so delicious that he didn't mind. He usually requests it as his birthday dinner.
This recipe is soo good, it turns out even better than my Italian father-in-law's! It is easy but takes a lot of time to put together. It's great for a dinner party because you can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven later.
These meatballs are easy but look very impressive! This is also great for a dinner party and they freeze well. If I planned a dinner party in advance, I will make these the week before and freeze them. It makes for easier preparation and clean up the day of.
Paella is one of Mr. Fitness' favorite dishes. He loves to order it out when we visit his dad in North Jersey. I wanted to surprise him for so long by making it on my own, but saffron is so expensive. It also seems like an intimidating dish. I sucked it up and bought the saffron and this came out great!
Pan-Roasted Chicken with Lemon-Garlic Green Beans
I found this recipe on Pinterest and was feeling ambitious on a weeknight. It was so easy and Mr. Fitness-approved. He requests this all the time. In fact, it's in my oven right now.
Again, Mr. Fitness-approved. It freezes well and is very easy. Great to throw in the slow cooker for a football party.
I think most people are afraid to make risotto. It seems intimidating, but it is just time consuming. Don't be afraid!
This is so easy and so good. I first had it a friend's, Andrea, dinner party and Mr. Fitness devoured it. He, himself asked for the recipe. Andrea said "okay, but it sounds really gross." The ingredient list looks gross, but you are just going to have to trust me on this. It's delicious!
I love making soup in the slow cooker on a Sunday and then freezing it in individual servings to take for lunches. This recipe is great for that. It's easy and flavorful! Whenever I heat it up, my co-workers always comment on how good it smells.
Pumpkin rolls used to seem extremely intimidating to me, but then I tried this recipe and now I'm a pro!
I made this for party favors once and people went wild. It's very easy and only requires a microwave!
Famous No Coffee Pumpkin Latte
Again, I made this for the same party that I made the Chex mix for and people went crazy over it.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
I know, you are probably already drooling. I love to make these for a party for 2 reasons; 1. It makes it harder for me to eat the entire tray and 2. I think people love me more when I make these brownies. I'm not kidding, these brownies will be the star of the party.
I will eat these all day long if I could.
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers
I made this last year for a Christmas function and people couldn't stop eating them, including myself. They taste similar to the girl scout Peanut Butter Patties. And they're so easy, you can't beat that.

A good leader should always try to remain optimistic. Even when things aren't going as planned, a leader should be positive so that the people around you will remain positive. No matter what the problem is, a good attitude will give you, and your team, hope that the problem will be handled.
When working to improve in the area of leadership, it is vital that you develop competency. People need to trust that you know what you are doing in order to feel confident in your leadership ability. Instill confidence in those who follow you by finding a mentor to help you become truly proficient in what you do.
Good business leaders provide support to their employees for both personal and professional goals. Business success relies on leaders who know how to get the most out of their employees, and put them into situations where they can succeed. A good leader should always help their team.
Your employees judge you on your decisions. They way you mete out responsibility, fire, hire and promote others will help them form opinions of you. Being biased towards one person can breed resentment and disrupt work flow. Become a good decision maker. Effective leadership means skill at making decisions. It is also important for you to take risks. If you are not able to decide on things quickly, try using your intuition and charisma so that others will follow you. Once a decision has been made, avoid second guessing it. Some decisions will fail, so learn from them. Don't let good talent go to waste. If someone is earning huge profits for your company, be sure to promote them, give them a raise, or, if you aren't in a position to do those things, recommend the person to someone who is. If you fail to do this, you might find that the employee has left for your competitor.
Don't shift the blame for mistakes to others. Subordinates, outside contractors, and plenty of other people within the organization can cause a business transaction to go wrong. If you try to shift the blame, you will lose the confidence of your customers and they won't patronize your business any longer.
It's time to put what you've learned concerning leadership to good use. Be sure you show confidence, so that others can feel confident about your leadership abilities. Use what this article has taught you and in the end you'll be a leader that is respected. You can get the help of others to be successful, if you can lead.
Establish clear communication channels. Your team should always be fully informed of every aspect of the project, including any deadlines that need to be met. Having good communication with your team will help establish your credibility as a leader and gaining their support. Your team should also feel free to contact you with questions or constructive feedback. All leaders that are good need to focus on days to come. You need this foresight so that you can make smart decisions now for the future. Of course, you're not always going to be right about the future, but over time you'll get better at predicting things. Constantly reevaluate your goals and know where you are headed next.
When you're a business leader, you should try to treat your team or staff in the way that you'd like to be treated. Looking down on people isn't right and doesn't promote a good work atmosphere. If you treat you show your staff respect, they will return the favor which can make your life much easier. One principle of successful leadership is to consider all points of view. You need to examine situations from the perspective of others. Even though you might not agree with another's point of views, show respect and attentively listen as this perspective is shared with you. Never be close-minded to new information or new ideas.
Try being transparent when issues come up as often as you can. Great leaders used to cover up problems; that isn't the case anymore. What's the reason? It's because people can easily communicate nowadays. The situation will be exposed no matter how much you try to hide it. A good leader is in control at all times. This is the path of true leadership.
If you are in a leadership role, make it a point to avoid using harsh, or discouraging comments with your team members. Instead of using negative reinforcement, try starting the conversation with a positive comment, then gently easing into your problem or concern. This helps them to let their guard down, and remember that you are on their side. Good leaders know how to nurture growth in other people. Take the time to support other people. You can do this by learning their strengths, work styles, and passions. Try encouraging them to seek new possibilities and challenges. Remember that every person has the ability to expand the potential of the company.
Spend more time in the office than out of it. It may be exciting to travel everywhere that you can, but suitcase leadership doesn't really inspire the teams back at the main office. If you find yourself traveling more than half the time, then you can be sure your employees aren't seeing you as their leader. They need to see you there.

The 11th-ranked Sun Devils entered as three-point favorites and were considered the hottest team in the conference, having won seven-straight games and seven in a row at home by an average of 28 points. Plus, both of seventh-ranked Stanford's losses this season had come on the road.
So much for numbers. The Cardinal has proven to be a big-game team, and nothing illustrates that more than its record against top 25 teams this year. Stanford has now beaten six of them, the most of any school in the BCS.
Stanford joined elite company Saturday night, not just becoming the third team in program history to reach consecutive Rose Bowls, but only the fifth team in the country to reach four straight BCS games. Let that sink in.
The Cardinal accomplished it with offense, defense and special teams, trademarks of the program David Shaw, the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football, has established. Just when you think stopping fifth-year senior running back Tyler Gaffney is the key to beating Stanford, junior quarterback Kevin Hogan guts you with deep passes.
"Kevin's got ice water in his veins," Shaw said.
It's hard to argue. Hogan is now 16-2 as a starter and 10-0 against ranked teams.
Sun Devil head coach Todd Graham never expected to be crushed on his home turf, but the Cardinal scored on its first four possessions and the rout was on. Gaffney's 69-yard scoring run set the tone, but the Stanford defense was its usual stingy self, holding an opponent to 20 or fewer points in 20 of its last 25 games.
And if you're looking for game-changers, how about the season-long performance of Stanford's special teams? Ty Montgomery has helped the Cardinal become the best kickoff return team in the county, and the coverage teams have consistently denied opponents good field position.
Blocked kick aside against Oregon, the unit has sparkled and much of the year and the credit belongs to special teams coach Pete Alomar.
* * *In you were looking for turning points Saturday night, search no further than the missed 31-yard field goal by Arizona State freshman Zane Gonzalez, who had converted 18-straight, on the first possession of the third quarter.
But the back-breaker for the Sun Devils came later in the period, and was the goal line stand by Stanford, that saw fifth-year senior linebacker Shayne Skov perfectly time the snap from center and leap over the pile to stuff backup quarterback Michael Eubank on third-and-goal from the 1.
Plays like that are contagious, and sophomore strong safety Zach Hoffpauir, who grew up in nearby Glendale, denied running back De'Marieya Nelson for no gain on fourth down.
"It's a group effort, we were locked in and ready to go," Skov said. "We were going to fight for every single blade of grass at that point."
* * *
Gaffney, the game's MVP, has now rushed for 1,618 yards this year, passing Stepfan Taylor for No. 2 on the single season list. Only Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart, with 1,871 in 2009, has gained more. Gaffney has eclipsed 100 yards rushing nine times this season.
"There is no question Tyler Gaffney has been the heartbeat of our offense all year," Shaw said. "You just watch him play, and he gets stronger and stronger. He just drags guys."
* * *Stanford moved up to fifth in the AP poll and seventh in the USA Today Coaches Poll on Sunday. Big Ten champ Michigan State, the Cardinal opponent in the Rose Bowl, jumped from 10th to fourth in the AP rankings and ninth to fourth in the Coaches Poll.
* * *
Extra Points
Skov finished with a team-high nine tackles … The Cardinal defense has recorded at least one sack in 32 of its last 33 games … OLB Trent Murphy collected his 14th sack of the season … Stanford saw its streak of forcing at least one turnover in a game snapped at 36. It was the second-longest in the country … Former Stanford tight end Jim Dray, now a member of the Arizona Cardinals, served as the honorary captain.
Quotable: "Last year, we came out of nowhere. This year, we got everybody's best game. We had two bumps – the losses at Utah and USC – and a lot of people wrote us off. But the seniors never batted an eyelash. The never stopped believing." - Shaw on the resiliency of his team

It's inexplicable, it's irresponsible, and it's just too darned bad, but there's no doubt about it—Gary Busey is modern day "Internet Gold," to quote J. Michael Green, a communications coordinator who works at Texas A&M University. Just like Bo knew Nike shoes, Michael Green knows social media. Busey's role is as product spokesman for Amazon Fire TV. The YouTube video featuring the new Amazon television commercial for their newest product—Amazon Fire TV— was posted two hours ago (approximately 9 a.m. PST on April 2, 2014, to coincide with the same-day website product announcement launch) and already the video has gone viral with over 301,000 views. In response to an examiner.com story bashing Amazon for using Busey as a spokesperson, Green suggested this reporter revisit Busey's vitality in getting a message distributed quickly.
Amazon didn't use a press release; they just used their own website and their overarching power of the internet as they are undoubtedly preeminent in that area. But really, Gary Busey? The same fellow who used to be a great actor in "The Buddy Holly Story" and "A Star is Born"? That one? The ersatz star of "Entourage" from 2004–2007 has skyrocketed and bottomed out in the same decade, more than once, and he's back again. Busey has worked, prolifically, for over four decades but in a long-forgotten list of one shot television appearances.
On his most recent recurring television role, "The Apprentice," the full Busey talent was on display, not necessarily at his best, but on display. If you were born after 1990, chances are good that you like Busey and think he's funny. But to Baby Boomers, Gary is the antithesis of a pitch man to be selling anything to anyone. And yet, the old generation must make way for the new, even if they think Gary Busey is "Internet Gold."
But will he be able to sell Amazon's Fire TVs? Time will sell. Stay tuned and "Don't touch that dial!"
(Author's note: at the time of viewing the YouTube clip had 301K views on the YouTube counter, but a re-viewing shows a different number. It could be that a video replacement was uploaded and the counter began again. At any rate, it's still viral enough to qualify for "Internet Gold" and the number of comments on the video is further support of that fact.)

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Wits End
Saturday, December 14, 2013
I've had a great day; ate good, got plenty of sleep and even got back to running after battling the flu for about three weeks. I was even able to tackle cleaning the house and making home made Irish potato leek soup for the ladies at work tomorrow. I am however at wits end with trying to get my son interested in living a healthier lifestyle. Getting him to eat his veggies is like trying to give someone involuntary oral surgery and I've been trying to think of more creative ways to get him active. I've given up on taking him to the gym with me because he gets bored and starts rolling around in the floor most of the time. I suppose rolling around is still active right? I feel somewhat responsible for his present state of being; he was diagnosed as obese with high cholesterol, thyroid issues, and asthma. I feel maybe if I'd set a better example a while back he wouldn't be in the condition he is? On the flip side I can't account for what the other parent does when I'm not around. I guess I'm trying to fight two people's battles when it comes to health and it has become exhausting, mine is hard enough. So any ideas or tips anyone has is most welcome.

I'm sure you'll be able to set an excellent example for your son this year. It's a new year, a new beginning. My son is 5, and he says he "can't like vegetables." I did get him to eat cooked carrots this weekend, though. He saw me cutting raw carrot sticks, and he said, "I can't like crunchy carrots. I like soft carrots." So I cooked some carrots for him, and guess what... He actually ate the "soft carrots!" It was pretty much my biggest victory of 2013 ;) ha ha

Zach is 9 and we used to have him in Taekwondo, but our finances right now won't permit us to get back into class. I've tried all the other sports but he seems really afraid of most of them he has ADHD and problems with boundaries and finds it hard to make friends. The only other thing I can think of is doing more creative sports like our "super hero" badminton and grandma/grandpa races we used to do. Thank you for all the great advice!

How old is he? That's the important question that will determine the advice that you get!
Looking at pics, I'd say somewhere around 8-12? If so, the gym will probably be the least counterproductive way to get him active. I'd highly suggest something fun, a sports league, etc. Start with something simple, a way to get him in a routine. Taekwondo (over karate) teaches discipline and self control and is a great first start. It increases flexibility and some strength and some cardio are also incorporated (great for someone in that age group!). Of course, there are the obvious: soccer, basketball, baseball, but that might be discouraging for someone who can't run very easily (just assuming that your son meets that category). Maybe taking him to a jump zone sort of class? There are a lot of jumping trampoline places that are a lot of fun and a great workout at the same time.

tied silk garland for baby blessing
if you follow me on pinterest, you know that i'm a sucker for garland. and prayer flags. and anything resembling these celebratory, sacred, strung-up beauties. so recently when dreaming up handmade and meaningful decor for two friends' baby blessing ceremony i co-hosted, garland came to mind, of course! specifically, i was inspired by a pin i saw by a beautiful mess. i knew this would be a sweet touch to this particular ceremony.
my fellow art therapist friends and i love to create unique rituals for participants at blessing ceremonies we have thrown for one another and for other family members and friends. many of these art rituals have been featured on my blog already, such as the woven watercolor blessing, the blessing nest, the blessing sunburst, and momma birthing necklaces or sibling blessing necklaces. this blessing garland fits right in, as it is a simple, collaborative project that can be easily done at a gathering (of any sort!) and it is not an intimidating art project in the slightest.
first, i combed fabric stores to find five colors (in this case, along the nursery color scheme) of lovely fabric. i scored with this silk and a pretty golden cord to tie them to.
once i got the supplies home, i began to tear the fabric into strips that were about a half inch wide.
then i cut each one to about 8.5 inches long to make several strips of fabric in each of the colors.
i performed some experiments with markers and pens to discover which worked best on the silk. this is the way party-goers would be able to write their blessings onto the fabric. in the silk's case, gelly roll pens worked best, as the sharpies and even the fabric markers ran and bleed on the fabric.
i tied blank silk tabs onto the golden cord in a random color order. this way the garland could serve as party decor before guests were able to add to it.
at the blessing, i placed many silk strips and glitter pens into a bowl near the garland with a note, asking guests to write blessings for the baby on the way on the silk, and tie it onto the cord wherever they would like.
after each guest added a blessing or two to the cord, the couple put the garland around a doorway in the baby's room. they plan to hang it in the birthing center when they are ready to meet their daughter.
i love how such a simple, little touch added another artful element of love and support to this blessing ceremony and to this growing family!

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has a message for everyone taking to the water this holiday weekend, and throughout the summer boating season: Clean your boats, trailers and equipment before and after use to prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species in Michigan.
Boats can unintentionally and easily spread invasive species from one body of water to another, but most of these situations are avoidable by following a few, simple steps:
Clean boats, trailers and equipment before you launch and again after.
Drain water from bilges and livewells at the ramp before leaving.
Dry trailers, boats, equipment and storage areas thoroughly before using them in a different body of water.
Dispose of unused bait in the trash.
Don't transfer live fish to water bodies, other than where they were originally caught.
Disinfect livewells and bilges with a bleach solution comprised of one-half cup of bleach to 5 gallons of water.
Michigan laws prohibit placing a boat, trailer or other boating equipment into state waters with plant material attached. Plant hitchhikers can easily be brought from water to water unseen on axles, insides of wheels and fenders. This includes jet-skis, kayaks, fishing boats of all sizes, up to the largest yachts. Taking such steps and help prevent the spread of invasives like milfoil, zebra and quagga mussels, gobies and other foreign invaders to Michigan's inland lakes and streams, and to lakes in other states as well. So far, scientists have counted more than 100 invasives that have sen brought in to Michigan waters on ships and other watercraft.
For more information on the importance of cleaning boats and equipment to prevent aquatic invasive species, check out the video on this page, created by the Michigan Sea Grant program.

A dog in a high-kill shelter is now going viral due to a photo in his collar, Fox Carolina reported January 20. As the mystery of the mysterious man in an old photo is the "water fountain" topic of the day, the dog, now known as Soldier, still sits on death row.
Fellow National Dog Examiner reporter Penny Eims covered the story here.
Soldier, known only as ANIMAL ID: 21844639 at Greenville County Animal Care Services, is a 2-year-old pit bull weighing a bit less than 50 pounds. He's healthy and heartworm negative.
Soldier is everything someone looking for a dog would want. He's dog and people friendly as well, so he should fit in well with a family already owning a pet.
Brantley Grogan Harrison, who is a friend of mine, visited with Soldier the morning of January 21 and had this to say about this beautiful dog.
"Soldier is still at the shelter..I got him out(dog walking)this am and he is a sweet dog. I saw the picture and the man is sitting on a rail with his leg propped up. Looks like he is holding a cap in his other hand. Please share this dog for rescue or adopter!!!"
Meanwhile, everyone is so fascinated with the photo that Soldier seems to have fallen into second place, meaning a lot more people are focused on the purpose of the old photo instead of getting this now healthy dog out of the shelter. I say "now healthy" because so many dogs fall ill under shelter conditions.
Forget the antique photo for a second, and concentrate on Soldier. The big question should be whether he's a lost dog or was abandoned. Being healthy, it sounds a lot like he may be lost, and his loved ones may be looking for him.
Hopefully the photo is creating enough of a buzz between social media and the local news stations to where if Soldier is a lost pooch, his owner's will see his photo and come for him. Meanwhile, he desperately needs a loving foster home at the very least, with the ideal being a permanent forever home.
Please contact Greenville County Animal Care Services at email@example.com if you'd like to adopt Soldier. Be sure to give his animal identification number in the subject line. Don't leave a message on the Greenville County Pet Rescue page, because they don't always check social media.
Let's work on getting this boy into a comfortable environment, and take the old photo for what it is: a man sitting on a deck with a crease in his shirt that gave the illusion of a knife.
To stay up to date on Soldier, his Facebook thread is here.

FLUSHING, MI -- Police have no suspects after they say a woman's car was broken into while parked at a Flushing church.
The vehicle's doors were locked at the time of the break-in.
Police say the woman was in the church from 7:30 p.m. to nearly 10 p.m. for a meeting.
The purse, which was stored in a visible area, contained credit cards, a Social Security card and prescription medication, Hoornstra said.
The chief said he is unsure if the thief attempted to get into any other cars in the parking lot, but it does not appear any others were broken into.
Anyone with information is asked to call Flushing Police at 810-659-3119.

Former major league baseball star Pete Rose managed the Bridgeport Bluefish to a 2-0 victory over the Lancaster Barnstormers on Monday night. It was Roses first time back in almost 25 years after being banned from the sport for gambling. Make no mistake, the fans still love Rose and came out in numbers to show their support. Some traveling as far away as Ohio to see their childhood hero.
Rose who still holds the record for most hits was able to provide the Bluefish players with leadership, advice and stories during his time as manager for one game. After arriving in Bridgeport on Monday morning, Rose spoke at a luncheon at Housatonic Community College for an hour before going back to The Ballpark at Harbor Yard to attend batting practice. After speaking to the Bluefish players in their locker room, he then attended a meet-and-greet with fans in the Harbor Club before attending a press conference in on the field. Rose exchanged starting lineups with the umpires and Lancaster manager Butch Hobson before signing autographs for fans. The former Cincinnati Red coached first base for four innings before finishing his Atlantic League managerial debut in Bridgeport's dugout. Rose then wrapped up his stay in the Park City with a post game press conference on the field.
It was a great night for baseball and definitely what the Bluefish needed to get more fans into the stadium. Rose said he enjoyed his night back and was open for the idea of doing it again in the future.

Stevie J of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" fame is facing legal trouble. On Feb. 22, The Urban Daily reported that Steven Jordan aka Stevie J has been served a subpoena for failing to pay child support.
Carol Bennett is suing Stevie J for unpaid child support to the tune of $1.28 million. She filed suit in October 2013 and contends that Stevie J has done nothing to rectify the amount of support owed to her. Further, Bennett claims that Stevie J is hiding his money in the businesses that he owns and using other means to make it look like he makes less than he actually does.
According to a Radar Online report, Stevie must report on all his income, provide pay stubs as well as copies of his most recent tax returns. Failure to appear at his Feb. 25 court date and to provide this information could result in jail time. Bennett's rep Sibrena Stowe de Fernandez told Radar, "Make no mistake; this obligation has not been paid, but increases at the rate of $8,550 per month."
Ironically, Stevie J was served the subpoena at his new business venture with Benzino, the Sleazy & Zino Bistro & Bar. If Stevie does not take care of the child support issue with Carol Bennett, assets from his acting income, music royalties and even profits from his new restaurant can be seized to pay the debt.

Identity Theft
Anyone can be a victim of identity theft. Thieves can use your name, birth date, social security number, student identification, drivers' license, birth certificate, passport, and credit card numbers to commit crimes and ruin your credit, which may take years to restore. Follow these tips to help reduce your risk of having your identity stolen:
- Never carry your Social Security card in your wallet. Always keep it in a safe, secure place at home.
- Be aware of anyone who is standing near you when you are writing a check or entering your PIN number.
- Check your credit report often. You might want to consider signing up for a credit alert service that will let you know if there is suspicious activity regarding your bank account.
- Do not share any personal information via email or over the phone with anyone you are not familiar with.
- If you receive an email from a stranger, never open any link attached to the email. You could be susceptible to both a virus on your computer, as well as having your computer hacked and personal information disclosed.
- Install firewall software on your computer.
The Better Business Bureau also recommends young adults take the following ten steps to protect their identities at college:
- Update smart phone operating systems regularly. This may help prevent thieves from hacking into your system.
- Protect the home screen of your phone with a password to prevent strangers from accessing your phone.
- Send sensitive mail involving account numbers or other personal information to a parent's mailbox.
- Update anti-virus software on computers and regularly scan computers for viruses.
- If a birth certificate or social security card must be on campus, invest in a lockbox and keep sensitive documents in it.
- Purchase a low-cost paper shredder to properly dispose of all bank statements and other personal information.
- Be wary of disclosing personal information to websites. Research the site thoroughly before providing your name, account numbers or any other information. Visit necal.bbb.org to verify businesses.
- Sign up for paperless billing to cut back on bills being mailed to a dorm room.
- Never lend a credit or debit card to anyone.
- Check your credit report once a year at annualcreditreport.com. Look for inaccuracies or suspicious activity.
The California Student Aid Commissioner recommends you take the following action if you think you are the victim of identity theft:
First - Contact the fraud departments of each of the three major credit bureaus:
- Equifax:www.equifax.com
- Experian:www.experian.com
- TransUnion:www.transunion.com
Second - Close the accounts that you know or believe have been tampered with or opened fraudulently.
Third - Contact law enforcement officials to file a police report with your local police or the police in the community where the theft took place. If the theft may have occurred on campus or involving your college identification, financial aid, or other college records, then immediately contact Campus Police at (626) 585-7486.
If someone has contacted you about student financial aid services, and you suspect fraud:
- Right away, contact your school's financial aid office with any information you may have, such as the name and telephone number of the person who contacted you; the company/business they said they represent; what they said or what information they asked you for.
- If you are contacted about a service provided by the California Student Aid Commission and you suspect fraud, contact the Commission's Customer Service staff at 888-CA-GRANT, that's 888-224-7268. You may also email us at email@example.com

Let $B$ be a given nilpotent $n\times n$ matrix with complex entries. Let $A = B-I$ find out $\det(A)$. What if B is orthogonal or skew symmetric matrix? Then can we say anything about its trace and determinant?

- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $B$, then $\lambda-1$ will be an eigenvalue of $B-I$. Hence $\det A = \prod (\lambda_i-1)$. Since $B$ is nilpotent, all eigenvalues are $0$. Hence $\det A = (-1)^n$.
$A=B-I$ implies $B=A+I$ and $B$ is nilpotent implies $B^n=0$
i.e., $(A+I)^n=0$ i.e., $A^n+\binom{n}{1}A^{n-1}+\cdots+\binom{n}{n-1}A+I=0$
This is characteristic polynomial for $A$
Sum of eigen values is same as sum of roots of corresponding polynomial which is $(-1)^n$ times that of constant term in this case it is $(-1)^n.1=(-1)^n$
I have used $(x-a_1)(x-a_2)(x-a_3)\cdots(x-a_n)=x^n+\cdots+(-1)^n(a_1a_2a_3\cdots a_n)$

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"Whoever addresses his brother in an insulting way will answer for it before the Sanhedrin, and whoever calls his brother a fool will be liable to the fires of Gehenna" (Matthew 5:22).
Reflection: Jesus says that using dehumanizing language is sinful. Before the schoolyard bully beats up his victim, he calls him names. Throughout history, groups that have been oppressed – like slaves and Holocaust victims — have first been called names. It also happens to the unborn, who have been called "parasites," "tissue," and "medical waste."
Prayer: Lord, may we affirm one another, including the unborn, with ennobling language that inspires respect and love. Amen.
