Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a childhood behaviour problem. A child with ODD won't do what people ask, thinks that what she's being asked to do is unreasonable, and gets angry and aggressive about being asked to do things.
All children are disobedient and cranky sometimes, especially if they're tired, upset or frustrated. But a child with ODD behaves like this a lot, and the ODD behaviour is so severe that the child has trouble doing ordinary, everyday things.
An ODD diagnosis can be made only by a health professional such as a paediatrician, psychiatrist or psychologist.
To be diagnosed with ODD, a child must show a pattern of angry and cranky moods, along with negative, defiant behaviour that upsets other people. A child must have at least four symptoms from the following list.
The child:
A child with ODD shows the symptoms often, in a way that interferes with usual daily activities, and for at least six months.
If you think your child might have ODD, it's best to speak with your GP or school counsellor for a referral to the right health professional.
It's hard to say why any child develops ODD. It's probably not because of any one thing. But there are some risk factors that are linked to ODD:
Children with ODD often have other difficulties such as learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, mood disorders or language impairment.
Because so many factors can play a part in ODD, a child who might have it needs a full assessment from a health professional. This lets the health professional pick up any other conditions that the child has and helps to set goals for treatment.
Managing ODD in children is about first accepting that your child will behave in challenging ways.
The next step is working with health professionals to develop a behaviour management plan, which can make the behaviour easier to handle – for you and your child.
A good plan will help your child:
These things will help your child with making and keeping friends, being assertive without getting angry, accepting no for an answer and playing cooperatively.
A good behaviour management plan will also help you cope with your child's challenging behaviour by helping you:
Working on your relationship
Your child needs to know that she's important to you.
One of the best ways you can send your child this message is by spending positive time together doing things your child enjoys. This will help to strengthen your relationship with your child.
Changing your child's behaviour
Here are some strategies you could try for changing your child's behaviour:
Working with your child's school
You can also work with your child's school to improve your child's classroom and playground behaviour. For example, you could talk to staff about:
It can be challenging to balance looking after yourself with looking after your child with ODD and other children in the family.
Here are some tips on how you can care for yourself:

The Red and Black Ball, the preeminent fundraising gala for the Los Alamos Y and its annual "Strong Kids" campaign, attracted more than 150 attendees from around the Northern New Mexico region Saturday night.
The event netted $53,400 for the community organization, which came in shy of the $60,000 goal Y officials were shooting for in donations.
This marked the 12th year for the function which touted a Motown theme that featured both live and silent auctions as part of the evening's festivities.
In 2011, the Y served 3,067 youth through more than 79 programs and in membership. The Y also awarded in excess of $75,000 in scholarships in child care, youth programs, and youth and family memberships.
This duplex at 4333 Fairway Dr. caught fire in 2007 and was abandoned. Fed up with the eye sore, neighbors took action and circulated a petition, signed by 37 Fairway Drive residents, which was taken to the Los Alamos County Council in July 2010. Council decided that the owner, W. Clarence Courtright, needed to take action and either repair the dwelling, or sell it. Despite a for sale sign in the front yard, the duplex was razed.
Looking at ways to maintain competitiveness in the marketplace, the pay adjustment structure and how to deal with employees at the top of their pay range were issues the Los Alamos County Council had to confront at Tuesday's work session.
The hot topic was where county salaries should fall in comparison to state, regional and national markets.
The county has been committed to offering competitive compensation in order to attract and retain higher performing employees and deliver higher than average services to the citizens of Los Alamos. This relates to the strategic goal of achieving operational excellence, which calls for investing in staff and their development to create a high performing organization.
Iran says it has begun loading domestically made nuclear fuel rods into its Tehran research reactor. The official IRNA news agency said Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inserted the first Iranian-made nuclear fuel rod into the reactor in north Tehran.
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Experts at New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute have identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the new hottest pepper on the planet.
The pepper was picked during a scientific study of super-hot chile varieties. It scored the highest, with more than 1.2 million Scoville Heat Units.
The institute's director, Paul Bosland, says researchers wanted to establish the average heat levels for super-hot varieties. That's something that hadn't been scientifically set.
Bosland and his partners looked at several breeds reputed to be among the hottest in the world.
SANTA FE (AP) — Republicans asked a federal court on Monday to take over the job of drawing new districts for the state House of Representatives.
GOP lawyers filed a lawsuit on behalf of several voters asking a federal court in Albuquerque to appoint a three judge panel to draw district boundaries for the 70-member House. The voters include two Albuquerque-area Republicans who intend to run for House seats once new districts are established.
On Monday, Mountain States Constructors began milling the existing road surface at the following intersections.
Monday and Tuesday: N.M. 4 and Grand Canyon, La Vista
Tuesday and Wednesday: N.M. 4 and Sherwood
Wednesday and Thursday: N.M. 4 and Bonnie View as well as the Hampton Inn and Metzger's entrances/driveways
Thursday and Friday: N.M. 4 and Rover Blvd.
Expect lane closures and flagging operations during non-peak hours. Follow the detour signs as posted.
More than 150 people turned out Saturday evening for the 12th annual Red and Black Ball, a major fundraiser for the Los Alamos Y and its Strong Kids campaign. The sold out event featured live and silent auctions and a "Motown" menu for dinner.

Beautiful hotel, great rooms, food, bar. I always love staying at the hotel and probably stay 8-10 nights per year. This last stay I did notice that the room wasn't as clean as in past visits (smudge on the mirror, brown scuff in the bottom of the bath tub). It could be an anomaly, I will repost after my next visit. My only improvement would be a request to build out a better gym. The treadmills and elipticals are fine, but there are very few feww weights and machines.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
SQL Server 2005 offers the capability to write code in a .NET language that can be compiled and run inside SQL Server. CLR Integration, or SQL CLR, lets you create stored procedures, user-defined types, triggers, table valued functions, and aggregates using a .NET managed language. You can read and write to resources outside of SQL Server and enjoy a tighter integration with XML, web services, and simple file and logging capabilities.
Here's the reference you'll want on your desk as you develop SQL CLR solutions. It helps you decide whether to use SQL CLR, how to lock down security, and learn from real examples. If you want to develop stored procedures or other objects in .NET for SQL Server 2005, this book offers exactly what you need.
What you will learn from this book
- The concepts and architecture of SQL CLR
- Uses of .NET namespaces in SQL Server programming tasks
- How to develop and benchmark routines in T-SQL and .NET to determine when CLR-based solutions are advantageous
- How to replace extended stored procedures using SQL CLR stored procedures
- How to use SQL CLR objects in external applications
- How to restrict and secure SQL CLR object capabilities
- Processes and procedures for deploying SQL CLR objects
Who this book is for
This book is for developers and architects who are familiar with .NET concepts as well as DBAs who, although developers in their own right, may be slightly less up to date on .NET. A solid grounding in T-SQL is necessary.
Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.

In SQL Server 2005, CLR has been built into the database itself so that developers can approach problems by programming in either SQL or CLR or a combination of both. This book is a general introduction to programming in CLR with SQL Server 2005. It is intended to be an 'open book' that you would keep open in front of you as you program using the CLR functions.
These is some discussion in the book about the decision to use CLR or to stay with SQL, but obviously these authors are believers in CLR. If nothing else, reading the book will give you a good idea about CLR and whether you want ot use it or not.
Note that since the announcement of .NET, the developers of Linux, Oracle and others have announced that they will also offer .NET/CLR support. It appears this is going to be the way and the light in the future.

There are a number of ways to look at short data, for example the total number of shares short; but one metric that we find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.07/27/16 10:47 AMAnalysts watching two Stocks: Sprint Corporation (NYSE:S) , CenturyLink, Inc.

French President Francois Hollande warned Monday that allegations of Washington spying on its allies were threatening talks on a crucial free trade pact, despite US efforts to downplay the growing espionage scandal.
European sources said anger over the alleged bugging of EU offices was genuine and warned the scandal could escalate into a "serious" political crisis, just as Washington and the EU are set to begin sensitive talks next week on the biggest free trade deal ever negotiated.
US Secretary of State John Kerry's insistance that information-gathering was "not unusual" did little to stem increasing European fury, with Hollande demanding Washington immediately put an end to spying on EU diplomatic missions.
In the first direct response by a European head of the state to the scandal, Hollande said Paris had demanded answers from Washington about reports that the US National Security Agency (NSA) bugged European offices and embassies.
"We cannot accept this kind of behaviour between partners and allies," Hollande told journalists during a visit to the western city of Lorient.
"We ask that this immediately stop," Hollande said. "There can be no negotiations or transactions in all areas until we have obtained these guarantees, for France but also for all of the European Union."
His comments came after Kerry told reporters at a security forum in Brunei that he was looking into the allegations, but also suggested the spying was business as usual.
"I will say that every country in the world that is engaged in international affairs, of national security, undertakes lots of activities to protect its national security and all kinds of information contributes to that," Kerry said.
"All I know is that is not unusual for lots of nations. But beyond that, I'm not going to comment any further until I have all of the facts and find out precisely what the situation is."
Travelling with President Barack Obama on a tour of Africa, US Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes declined to comment directly on the spying allegations but said relations with Europe would remain strong.
"We cooperate with Europe on so many issues, we are so closely aligned in terms of our interests in the world that those relationships are going to stay strong," Rhodes said aboard Air Force One.
"We are going to cooperate with them on security issues, on economic issues and frankly we obviously also share a set of democratic values with them that I think can transcend any controversy."
In fresh revelations attributed to fugitive leaker Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor now holed up at Moscow airport, Monday's Guardian newspaper said France, Italy and Greece were among 38 "targets" of spying operations by US intelligence services.
This came after a report in German weekly Der Spiegel detailed alleged covert surveillance by the NSA on EU diplomatic missions.
One document, dated September 2010 and classed as "strictly confidential", described how the NSA kept tabs on the EU's mission in Washington, Der Spiegel reported.
Microphones were allegedly installed in the building and the computer network was infiltrated, giving the agency access to emails and internal documents.
Der Spiegel said the EU delegation at the United Nations was subject to similar surveillance and the spying had also extended to the 28-member bloc's Brussels headquarters.
German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said Berlin had conveyed its "astonishment" and "great displeasure" to the White House about the allegations.
"Europe and the United States are partners, are friends, are allies. Trust must be the basis of our cooperation and trust must be restored in this area," he told reporters. "This is not the Cold War anymore."
European Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said the trade talks could be in jeopardy, saying the EU cannot negotiate "if there is any doubt that our partners are bugging the offices of European negotiators".
In light of the allegations, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso's office said he had ordered a full security sweep of all its premises worldwide.
A European Union source said officials could not simply brush the allegations aside.
"If it's true that the Americans have been spying on their allies, then there will be a political fallout," the source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"This goes far beyond the requirements of national security. It is a breach of trust and we are at the beginning of something very serious."
The German and French foreign ministries said the US ambassadors to their countries had been invited to discuss the issue, though neither capital officially summoned the envoys -- a formal diplomatic move when tensions develop between governments.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius was also to hold a telephone conversation with Kerry on the issue later Monday, officials said.

Xellia Pharmaceuticals is developing new antibiotics effective against multidrug-resistant (MDR), Gram-negative bacteria. This four year project is a collaboration with SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and the Statens Serum Institut. The project is being supported by a $3 million grant from the Research Council of Norway (NFR) and also includes contributions from laboratories across Europe.
Xellia is aiming to develop new antibiotics that target Gram-negative bacterial infections caused by Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacter species, which can cause severe sepsis and septic shock.
"These drugs have the potential to address the immediate global need for antibiotics to overcome MDR infections, in particular those caused by pan-drug resistant and extensively drug resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria," said Dr. Aleksandar Danilovski vp of R&D at Xellia.
According to the company, only two antibiotic subclasses are currently still available to treat XDR infections, polymyxins and tigecycline. Last-line polymyxin drugs such as polymyxin B and colistin have been used for 60–70 years without developing a significant resistance; however, these antibiotics are known to exhibit elevated nephrotoxicity and are not ideal for systemic treatment of XDR-infections.

Breckenridge Pot Legalization Creates Big Buzz
Measure Passes By 3 To 1 Margin
11:16 AM, Nov 5, 2009
marijuana possession
2009 election results
vote 2009
marijuana decriminalization
The skiing town of Breckenridge is creating a national buzz after voters by a nearly 3-to-1 margin legalized the adult possession of marijuana Tuesday night.
Breckenridge voters passed Measure 2F, which removes criminal penalties from the town code for the private possession of up to one ounce of marijuana by adults 21 and older. The ordinance also removes criminal penalties for the possession of bongs, pipes and other drug paraphernalia.
It was an avalanche "yes" vote, passing 73 percent to 27 percent.
The decriminalization vote won't change laws prohibiting smoking in public, use by minors or driving under the influence.
"This votes demonstrates that Breckenridge citizens overwhelmingly believe that adults should not be punished for making the safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol," said Sean McAllister, a Breckenridge attorney who proposed the ordinance. "I believe the implicit implications are that we should have a dialogue about taxing marijuana."
The measure's victory is considered symbolic because it conflicts with state and federal laws. However, supporters of the measure say it inches the whole state closer to full legalization.
Breckenridge Ski Resort officials said Wednesday marijuana decriminalization will not impact their operation.
"In spite of the outcome of this vote, the possession and use of marijuana other than for medical use remains illegal under Colorado state law and using any ski lift or ski slope or trail while under the influence is prohibited under the Colorado Ski Safety Act," said Pat Campbell, chief operating officer for Breckenridge Ski Resort.
"The safety of our employees and guests is our highest priority and we will continue to enforce our policies," he added.
The ski resort's Web site warns that, under the Colorado Ski Safety Act, "You may not use a lift or any ski trail when under the influence of drugs or alcohol."
The decriminalization victory was generating big buzz on Web sites like Huffingtonpost.com.
"One has to wonder whether legal marijuana could be just what Colorado's slumping ski industry needs," blogged Mason Tvert, executive director of SAFER, a marijuana advocacy group.
"Ski resorts are offering everything from large discounts to specialty cheeseburgers to attract people to their towns. Perhaps offering skiers and snowboarders a hassle-free environment in which they can relax and recreate with marijuana could do the trick," he added. "As the organizers of the measure pointed out in their press release, the measure could also give extreme sports enthusiasts a safer alternative to alcohol when it comes to post-ride partying."
Many jokingly praised the Rocky Mountain high law.
I know what town is going to have a BOOMING tourist trade!!" a poster called "Mattplastik" wrote on Huffingtonpost.com. "Good for them!! Now, if the rest of this hick country would grow a brain and do the same thing, the recession would be over in a week!! Wow, now I have to learn to ski!! LOL"
But others were more serious.
"My mother was diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer. She is undergoing chemo. She has never been a pot smoker or drug user. She is eating pot crackers every night and actually eating and maintaining her weight through chemo," a poster called preemptivelove wrote. "I don't want to hear a single word from people who say marijuana has no value. It's literally saving my mother's life right now, as without it she wouldn't be able to eat and would wither away in no time. Thanks to California's medicinal marijuana law, and for the Obama administration to leave it alone and take the DEA off of California's back in this regard."
Other cities around the country have taken similar action in recent years, including a measure in Denver that decriminalized possession of marijuana up to one ounce.
Advocates say the Breckenridge proposal goes further than others because it allows paraphernalia as well. Drug paraphernalia possession in Colorado is considered a petty offense. Though "head shops" selling bongs and pipes are common in Colorado, the wares are ostensibly for smoking tobacco. Paraphernalia charges are usually only filed along with possession charges. Both are misdemeanors punishable by a $100 fine and court fees.
The penalties for the misdemeanor offense aren't harsh. But last year, Breckenridge police issued 10 city citations for possession of less than an ounce of pot, three state law possession violations and four violations for drug paraphernalia.
Supporters of the effort say it's not right to leave small-time pot smokers with a criminal record.
The Breckenridge campaign, which had no formal opposition, received endorsements from Breckenridge Town Councilman Jeffrey Bergeron, Fmr. Colorado State Rep. and Breckenridge resident, Gary Lindstrom, and the Summit Daily News.
Measure 2F was placed on the ballot when more than 1,400 people signed a petition supporting it. It only needed 495 signatures to get on the ballot. The ordinance change will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2010.
Several Breckenridge residents heartily backed the local marijuana effort.
"People think it's a waste of time for the police to be prosecuting these people," said Elisabeth Lawrence, 30. Smoking pot, she said, is "not the worst thing in the world to be doing."
Nancy Skaj, a clerk at a Breckenridge grocery store, said the measure could be a boon for ski tourists who don't have clearance for medical marijuana. "With all the injuries people get skiing up here, instead of popping pills, they should just be doing this. It's a lot more natural," she said.
Breckenridge has roughly 3,300 voters.
Now, marijuana advocates says legalization is inevitable.
"I think there's kind of an awakening going on. People are realizing that marijuana's ultimately a less harmful drug than alcohol and we should probably treat it accordingly," said Brian Vicente, Sensible Colorado's executive director. "We've always believed that a system of taxing and regulating marijuana for adult use is better than the current prohibition system."
Vicente said he's heard from supporters in Pueblo and Durango who want to establish a voter campaign similar to Breckenridge's.
"I think Colorado will be one of the first state's to establish a system of regulation for marijuana for adult use," Vicente said. "And I hope it'll happen in the next five years, maybe by 2012?"
Two lawmakers tell TheDenverChannel, though, that doesn't not seem as likely on Capitol Hill.
"The question is sort of buried in there with all the others. Is there possible revenue? I think we'll see a proposal to raise revenue from legalization from both sides of the aisle. We shouldn't legalize something simply because it brings us more revenue," said State Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs.
The Speaker of the House would agree.
"It feels a lot like you're being bribed into voting for the legalization of marijuana based on some number," said Terrance Carroll, (D) House Speaker. "I have not heard anything like that. As far as I'm concerned, we're going to be focused on the economy this session, creating jobs and making sure that families in Colorado make it through this economic downturn."
Carroll said the talk of legalizing marijuana is a "distraction" from the more serious work that must be done when lawmakers return to work on January 13.
"I think that's reading too much into what the people of Breckenridge decided. I mean, their vote was purely ceremonial in a lot of ways. It's like a letter to Santa. I don't see the state moving towards legalization of marijuana anytime soon," Carroll said.

On their respectable but patchy debut Earthling, jazzy-dub heads Wet Cookies jam to academic sounds shot through with looseness and flavor. For all its hip tradition, jazz remains an insider-ball genre, whose appeal stems as much from its in-the-moment heat as from the craft's technical demands. To no surprise, several of the featured players, including band co-founder Bjoern Klein, were professionally trained in this style. Jazz is their subject matter, their sacred cow abounding in sonic possibilities. The sense quickly emerges that, while skilled and passionate, Wet Cookies are performing largely for themselves. Improvised flourishes run through the ambling sax-trumpet interplay of "One More Step" and the sensually restrained "Lucky We Were" but fail to excite. These tracks tow a precarious line between spirited free-form and aimless tedium. As a whole, Earthling features too much of the latter. Though, being dub, its jazz comes in hybrid varieties: reggae ("Chicken Lickin"), R&B ("Sundazed"), melodramatic classical (title track), and thud-heavy electronic (on the album standout "Slutmachine"). These crossover twists are welcome and provide the swagger that Earthling doesn't always muster with its more purist jazz.
