Apps Problem with datePicker

So I have reached the end of my rope when it comes to this dang datePicker dialog that I am working with. I have made it through 7 different activities within my app and have not encountered a single problem until I reached the datePicker. My problem consists of two elements: 1) The dang title of my datePicker displays Wednesday, December 31, 0002 when called. The datePicker itself displays correctly, but not the title, and I have not altered the title one bit. When you change the date the title changes to the correct information except for.... 2) It appears as if the days of the week are off by one (for today it says Monday, February 22, 2011). So I am going to post my entire code within this activity and if anyone has any ideas any help is much appreciated. The issue is going to be in the onCreateDialog or onPrepareDialog methods. If i need to remove any of the other extraneous init methods I will do so, but I would like to verify that I am not causing problems anywhere else within this activity.

Code:
public class QuizSettingsActivity extends QuizActivity {
    SharedPreferences mGameSettings;
    static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0;
    static final int PASSWORD_DIALOG_ID = 1;
    
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
