My first thought was to replace the drive belt. I followed the excellent how-to video and, once inside, discovered that the belt was fine and that the right-hand drum roller was worn out and squeaking when I rotated it by hand. I should have listened to the other customers who said I should replace the drum support rollers at the same time as the belt. I did a thorough lint cleaning, put the dryer back together and ordered one roller replacement kit. It arrived in a just few days. I was able to lift the drum off the rollers and replace the bad roller without having to remove the drive belt. It took under 1/2 hour. There was only one omission in the video: I had to remove two metal tabs that hold down the dryer lid. Just one screw on each side. Recommendation: Purchase a pair of snap ring pliers. They make removing and reinstalling the the snap retainer ring a breeze in a tight working space.

Shareholders' lawsuit filed against Acxiom.
Some analysts remain confident about the company, still rating it a good investment. Questions continue to crop up, however, about the nature of the personnel cuts at the Little Rock-based company, Which was rated earlier this year as one of the best places in the country to work.
Little Rock lawyer Steven E. Cauley and the California law firm of Milberg Weiss filed a shareholders lawsuit Sept. 20 in U.S. District Court in Little Rock seeking class-action status for investors they say were misled by false financial information issued by the company. Both law firms are known for taking on companies on behalf of shareholders.
The lawsuit claims false financial information issued by the company pumped up the price for a July stock offering. Then, when Acxiom confirmed news that it was cutting 5 percent of its work force and an Aug. 30 article in financial weekly Barron's questioned accounting practices used to meet earnings expectations, the stock's price plummeted.
A company spokesman called the lawsuit "groundless" and "without merit."
Jack Clarke, an analyst for PaineWebber in New York, says shareholder lawsuits are not uncommon when a company reports negative financial information.
The suit was filed on behalf of Larry R. Romine, who, according to the suit, bought 250 shares of Acxiom stock at $27 a share on July 23 during an offering of more than 1.5 million shares by the company and 3.9 million shares by the Pritzker Foundation, a private foundation involving Acxiom board director Robert A. Pritzker. Acxiom CEO Charles D. Morgan, chief financial officer Robert S. Bloom, chief operating officer Rodger S. Kline and Pritzker are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.
By Sept. 16, the stock had fallen nearly $11, to about $16.37 a share. In the days following the filing of the lawsuit last Monday, the stock edged back above $17 a share.
Three days before the stock offering, Acxiom released a report on its first quarter for Fiscal Year 2000, which ended June 30. The company reported record revenue and earnings, with net earnings at $15.7 million (18 cents diluted earnings per share).
That information was included on the prospectus for the July 23 stock offering.
On Aug. 16, the company filed its first quarter results with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The lawsuit points to several "surprises" for investors, including a 17 percent increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in the allowance of doubtful accounts.
The company then opted to make a $2.3 million adjustment in its salaries expense by reversing a portion of a liability - boosting earnings by two cents a share. Acxiom also reported a 5 percent decrease in revenue from its largest customer, insurance company Allstate.
Acxiom officials say they renegotiated the contract, charging less for one service they were providing Allstate in return for access to a new avenue of business.
By the close of trading Aug. 17, the stock price closed at $21.06 - down from the previous close of $23.59.
On Aug. 26, company leaders told employees of a plan to reduce the number of employees by 5 percent, cutting out the "lowest contributors." The reduction was disclosed by some employees to the Log Cabin Democrat in Conway, which first reported the story Aug. 29.
Then on Aug, 30 came the Barron's article, "Day of Reckoning For Acxiom?" It noted the revised Allstate contract, which critics saw as proof of pricing pressure from competitors.
It also quoted critics about the liability reversal, terming it questionable and possibly used to meet earnings expectations.
The observers cited an increase in the days sales outstanding, the ratio of accounts receivable to sales. According to the company's quarterly report, that DSO number had grown from 80 days in the previous quarter to 89 days in the quarter that ended in June.
Acxiom's stock price closed on Aug. 27 at $20.56. By Aug. 31, it had fallen to $17.56.
Moving On, Looking Back
In the wake of the Barron's piece, Acxiom spokesman Dale Ingram disputed some of its conclusions. Some analysts agreed, downplaying the article's importance.
The company is already addressing the DSO problem, Ingram says, assigning personnel to concentrate on bringing the number down. "We're hopeful that we'll be able to report improvements when the next quarterly results are announced at the end of October."
Ingram insists Acxiom is moving on and most of the planned personnel cuts are completed. He emphasizes the cuts were not a layoff, which he says occur when business is bad.
"Business is booming," Ingram says. "Our intent is to get the right people in the right place at the right time."
There are still claims showing up in places like Internet bulletin boards devoted to the company that insist those who lost their jobs weren't all low performers, that some cuts were made by supervisors forced to meet certain goals. There are also claims that employee lawsuits will be next.
Asked about contentions that the cuts included positions as well as personnel, Ingram wouldn't elaborate. "The nature of any individual decisions and classification of any associates is between the associate and the company," he says.
Departing employees were offered "standard terms" in severance packages, Ingram says, again not elaborating if there were items such as a waiver of suit provision to prevent the former employees from suing the company. Nor would he say if any of the employees might be eligible for rehiring, reiterating that that information is between the employee and the company. The employees were eligible for outplacement assistance in finding other work, he says.
Asked if all of the fired employees were considered lowest contributors, Ingram says only, "That was the intent of the program."
Acxiom is still hiring, Ingram says, and currently has 126 job openings (80 of those in Arkansas). About 100 new employees were hired in August with about 40 so far in September, he says.
Analysts still have faith in the company as well. Eleven brokers rate Acxiom a "strong buy," while three others rate it a "moderate buy."
"We think it will eventually climb back to the high 20s," says Bear Stearns analyst Alexia Quadrani of the stock price. "The earnings are fine. I think the questions were about cash flow and the days sales outstanding, but we expect those to get better."

Torre picks Dickey to start Team USA opener
MAR 04, 2013 1:13p ET
Torre added that Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia will catch for Dickey against Mexico at Chase Field on Friday night. Team USA's starting pitchers in the WBC will be limited to 65 pitches in their first outing, Torre said, and 80 and 95 pitches in their next starts.
Dickey, 38, was traded from the Mets to Toronto over the winter after becoming the first knuckleball pitcher to win the Cy Young last season. He went 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA, led the NL with 230 strikeouts and appeared in his first All-Star Game.
Dickey got the nod to start Friday over Rangers left-hander Derek Holland, Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong and Nationals left-hander Ross Detweiler. Gio Gonzalez of the Nationals is also on the U.S. roster but will not be available to pitch until the second round of play, should the U.S. advance.
Torre said Holland will start Team USA's first exhibition, Tuesday against the White Sox in Glendale, Ariz., and be limited to roughly 50 pitches. While Torre did not name any other starters Monday, he hinted at Holland's next appearances, suggesting reporters "count the days." With four days off after Tuesday's start, Holland would likely take the mound Sunday against Team Canada.
Torre declined to name a starter for Wednesday's exhibition game against the Rockies but said he expects many relievers will see action.
Team USA held its first workout at Salt River Fields, spring training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, on Monday afternoon.

The Rifles launch their own beer The Rifles Tickets
The General has been made with the Signature Brew ale company
Made in conjunction with Signature Brew, the beer apparently "comprises a combination of Maris Otter Pale malt and fine wheat malt". Of the beer, Sam McGregor, Director at Signature Brew says:
As massive fans of their music, we were excited to work with The Rifles, and I'm extremely pleased with the end product. The band got really involved in the process, which is represented in the quality of the beer and the brilliant label artwork they produced.
The Rifles are currently on tour in the UK in support of their album 'Freedom Run'.
The news comes after Elbow crafted their own brand of beer, named after their current album 'Build A Rocket Boys!'
The Manchester indie heroes, who describe themselves as "proud supporters of traditional British real ale", teamed up with local family brewers Robinsons Of Stockport to create a beer brewed to their own specifications.
According to Elbow.co.uk, they settled on what they describe as a "golden ale with a rich rounded body, smooth bitterness, subtle tang of malt and fruity aroma". Elbow's ale is a golden premium session bitter at 4.0% ABV, available in cask only.
The 'Build A Rocket Boys!' beer recently got its official launch at this year's Manchester Food And Drink Festival.

Implementation of the ambitious e-government project of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi got under way over the weekend with the signing of agreement between the civic body and Tech Mahindra.
With this the MCD initiative towards ensuring a paperless administration across all its 40 departments is close to fruition. The agreement was signed by MCD Additional Commissioner R.K. Shrivastav and Tech Mahindra senior vice-president Dr. Prem Chand in the presence of Municipal Commissioner K. S. Mehra.
MCD spokesperson Deep Mathur said: "The programme when implemented will be able to provide 24X7 online services to the Capital's citizens. We had engaged Wipro Consulting Services as a consultant for the initiative and have finalised Tech Mahindra as the implementation partner."
"Tech Mahindra will undertake development of new software and integration of all existing software applications along with implementation of hardware in the MCD for seamless information flow and provisioning of citizen services online. It would also manage the Citizen Service Bureau across Delhi," he added.
According to the MCD, the e-governance project will yield a number of benefits to the MCD, its employees and the citizens at large. They include among others a better understanding of the processes, transparency of operations, increased accountability of respective department and officials, automatic alerts to track defaulting departments and officials, single-point information including online application filing, tracking, getting approvals or certification and checking project status for all the MCD projects and services which can be of concern to a citizen.
Mr. Mathur said: "We have already identified nodal officers or coordinators across the 40 departments to support the project implementation. Monitoring and implementation committees to supervise the project regularly have also been set up. Further, the MCD is also motivating its employees and building the internal capacity to run the operations post-implementation."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Ankle Sprain
How is an ankle sprain diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask you how the injury occurred and if you have hurt your ankle before. He or she will check your foot and ankle, your lower leg, and even your knee to see if you are hurt anywhere else.
In some cases, the doctor may order X-rays to be sure there is not a broken bone in the ankle or the foot.
How is it treated?
In many cases you can first use the RICE approach to treat your ankle:
- Rest. You may need to use crutches until you can walk without pain.
- Ice. For at least the first 24 to 72 hours or until the swelling goes down, apply an ice pack for 10 to 20 minutes every hour or two during the day. Always keep a thin cloth between the ice and your skin, and press the ice pack firmly against all the curves of the affected area.
- Compression. An elastic compression wrap, such as an ACE bandage, will help reduce swelling. You wear it for the first 24 to 36 hours. Compression wraps do not offer protection. So you also need a brace to protect your ankle if you try to put weight on it.
- Elevation. Raise your ankle above the level of your heart for 2 to 3 hours a day if possible. This helps to reduce swelling and bruising.
If you are not taking any prescription pain relievers, you may want to take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and swelling.
Proper treatment and rehabilitation (rehab) exercises are very important for ankle sprains. If an ankle sprain does not heal right, the joint may become unstable and may develop chronic pain. This can make your ankle weak and more likely to be reinjured. Before you return to sports and other activities that put stress on your ankle, it's a good idea to wait until you can hop on your ankle with no pain. Taping your ankle or wearing a brace during exercise can help protect your ankle. Wearing hiking boots or other high-top, lace-up shoes for support may also help. But use caution. Don't force your foot into a boot if you feel a lot of pain or discomfort.
If your ankle is still unstable after rehab, or if the ligament damage is severe, your doctor may recommend surgery to repair the torn ligaments.

There's no better way for a Booth newcomer to endear himself to our regulars than by paying tribute to the legends, and underground up-and-comer Pill has a longer list of influences than most. On this newly-released mixtape cut, the Atlanta rapper delivers a personal history-via-Music, name-dropping the many rap, soul, and R&B icons whose work inspired him over the course of his life. Aspen Agency beatsmith Mick Vegas backs the emcee's heartfelt rhymes with some fittingly nostalgic sample work, serving up a lush piano-brass instrumental with a Chipmunk-style vocal hook. If you're an old soul, Music is virtually guaranteed to strike a chord, but that doesn't mean the rest should pass this one by—Pill's new-school flow and Vegas' ear-pleasing accompaniment make it an easy record for anyone to swallow (terrible pun intended). Those jonesing for more of this up-and-comer's underground sounds can get what they're craving this summer, when his latest mixtape, 4075: The Refill, hits the 'net.

European Union Parliament president Martin Schulz has urged Indian authorities to expedite the legal proceedings against the two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala in February 2012.
Opening the parliament session in the French city of Strasbourg Monday evening, Schulz noted that two years have passed since the two Italian marines, Massimilliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone, were detained and accused of killing the two Indian fishermen.
According to an European Parliament press release Tuesday, Schulz did not comment on the substance of the charges, but urged the Indian judiciary to expedite any legal proceedings against them.
He also noted Italy's wish that India should abide by the UN Law of the Sea Convention, and stressed that EU-India relations must be based on mutual respect, diplomacy and dialogue.

Post subject: How many video converters ...
The current forum spam situation makes me wonder: How many video converters are there, and why?
Is the spamming really worthwhile? If so, then how?
Do people need the software simply to rip copy protected videos? (Are those ripped videos then resold, or is it just to get them onto the portable media of choice?)
Is it a trick to fool search engines into returning a higher relevance for some product?
Other reason that I didn't think of?

Maybe YouTube does not accept .vob. If you import a .vob file into Avidemux and try and save it in another format you may well find the video and audio out of sync. Subtitles may slip with .mpg format or may be in sync with .avi but out with .mpg.

I think there are several reasons for these video converters.
Certainly, some of the reasons are illegal. Some people want to rip their DVDs so they can illegally share them, but there are lots of other reasons.
Probably the biggest one is being able to store your movies on a harddrive. Whether you want to watch it on your laptop while you are away from home without having to carry a bunch of DVDs, want to watch a DVD on a netbook/ultraportable which typically doesn't come with a CD/DVD drive, or store all your movies on a media center so you can access them with quickly on-demand (and avoid the risk of having your DVDs inadvertently scratched or damaged while transferring from case to player and back), or whether you want to make a copy for your cell phone/MP3 player so you can watch them anywhere, there are lots of legitamate reasons to want to convert DVDs into other formats.
Of course, many of these reasons are still illegal in many cases. Most DVDs sold have a bit of encryption on them to help prevent them from being copied. While making a copy of your DVD to store on your laptop's harddrive isn't illegal under the idea of fair use, in the U.S., bypassing the encryption on the DVD to make the copy violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). So far, fair use vs. the DMCA hasn't gone before the courts yet, so the legality is still somewhat in question.

This forum doesn't block images from being posted, it just doesn't provide a means for attaching images. But sometimes people are having problems and the only way they can really describe what is going on is with a screenshot. If they have a place to upload their screenshots, we don't want to discourage them from posting the pictures on their first posts, particularly when many new users join the forums looking for help.
At least, that is my take on it. I'm just a moderator, not an administrator, so I don't have any real say over the settings.

I guess there's no way to restrict image links to a set of pre-defined domains, at least not without the admin changing things, eh? At least then, the spammers would be wasting their time posting images, since there would be no way to verify how many people were viewing them.

Perhaps the administrators could implement a new approach to all these unwanted postings
The recent prolilferation of postings could be stopped/cut immediately by sending the offending people an invoice for the removal of these postings.
(obviously, their full contact details are included with their posting, not had to find them eh.)

My role as a Partner Development Manager is to work with our next generation ISV's - those partners who are adopting and developing on the latest and greatest Microsoft technologies!!!
It's a really exciting time at Microsoft with the imminent launch of EVO (Exchange 2007, Windows Vista, Office System 2007), the partner opportunity is huge and this site will be able to give you an overview of what my partners are doing and the opportunity for you!!

Will reduction of a prominent nasal spine help to reduce an over-projected tip?
Doctor Answers 6
Will reduction of a prominent nasal spine decrease my tip projection?
- Reducing the prominent nasal spine can affect the top of the nose and also the relationship of the nose to the upper lip. A very prominent nasal spine can cause tethering of the upper lip as well is contribute to see over projecting nasal tip. Reductions in nasal spine does not always lead to a significant reduction in the projection.Other techniques are very frequently needed. I would recommend that you check with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in rhinoplasty and can show use similar cases he is treated in the past. Best wishes!

Following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Some dinners are just born out of what is on hand. A quick raid of the pantry can turn up a mishmash of things that end up making a very tasty dinner.
Of course, some experiments are not quite successful.
One of the reasons I do a meal plan each week is so that I don't have to resort to the pantry-diving method of what's-for-dinner. But some weeks I just don't plan well enough, and it's into the pantry (and freezer) I go.
Such was the case a couple of weeks ago. I had planned to stop by the store on my way home and get some lovely, plump shrimp to add to a dish of orzo pasta salad. I didn't buy them earlier in the week with my other shopping because I wanted them to be at their best.
But as is often the case, time got away from me.
I did a mental pantry check, knowing that I always have a can or two of Muir Glen fire-roasted tomatoes and some cans of either white or red beans. And Parmesan cheese is a staple in my house, so that was also in the mix.
In my mind, as I drove home, I put together the meal. Cook the orzo in broth with some onion and garlic. Add in the beans and tomatoes. Sprinkle on some Parmesan. It would be basic, but it would be hearty and quick.
Then when I got home, an actual survey of provisions turned up a couple links of meatless Italian sausage left from another day. Even better.
I started with the meatless sausage. I wanted to get a little color on it, and in the process, some flavor. I browned the links in olive oil, breaking it down into crumbles as it cooked.
Once done, I set that aside and cooked the orzo in broth and water. Since the rest of the ingredients were shaping up as a vegetarian meal, I opted for vegetable broth instead of chicken. I usually have some of each in the pantry.
Onion and garlic were cooked down with the pasta and the fire-roasted tomatoes. Once the pasta was tender and there was just enough liquid left to keep things from being dry and sticky, I added in the beans and the cooked meatless sausage with some Italian parsley that would have gone into the not-meant-to-be orzo and shrimp salad.
As I thought about the red beans and orzo, I couldn't help thinking red beans and rice. So I seasoned it all with some Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning. It added just a little bit of red pepper heat.
The textures and flavors worked nicely together. There was just enough liquid to keep it saucy. The sausage had just a touch of crunch from being browned. And the beans gave it a little bite.
As I plated it, I used a microplane grater to coat the pile of pasta with a nice flurry of Parmesan cheese. It was so fine that it started to melt and meld with the orzo on contact, adding just enough of that lush flavor to be slightly decadent without the addition of any cream.
As we sat down to dinner, I didn't even mention my meal-planning glitch. I just accepted the compliments from the Man and enjoyed the "mmm, mmm" noises coming from the toddler.

National Wildlife Control Operators Association
We are the Professionals you are looking for. We are a Family Owned and Operated Business with different Branches Throughout Northern California, and as such, you can be assured personal and courteous service
Welcome to Our Website!
We help those who are experiencing wildlife problems, the people and places we value, with zero harm to the environment.
There are many dangers that we may encounter with wildlife intrusion, so when you hear scratching, flying, clawing or purring in the walls, roof and basement areas of your building, it may be animals such as, bats, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, etc. that are creating the nuisance that strikes family homes and business establishments. Our humane services prioritize protection of human and animal lives and preservation of properties that can be dismantled due to animal intrusions.
We are a company that stands against the abuse of the environment. What sets our aim is the control and transfer of wild animals to a safer habitat through relocation procedures, or by making habitat modifications.
Our wildlife control associates are composed of a legion of wildlife specialists who are deftly trained to serve people with pest and wildlife problems throughout California.
As a professional nuisance wildlife damage management company with different branches in Northern California, we also Insure the safeguard of wild animals by utilizing wildlife control solutions through proper handling, trapping, removal, and eviction of wild animals that may cause bedlam and damages to properties, both commercial and residential properties.
The wildlife control devices and solutions that we use are safe and non-poisonous. Our professional wildlife control specialists only use non-hazardous repellants and materials that are placed in or near infested areas. Antech uses materials like predator Scents, visual and permanent abatement materials, among others, for purposes of wildlife damage management. Our nuisance control services include wildlife abatement, eviction, exclusion and humane relocation services.
With Antech Wildlife Management, you can be sure that nuisance wildlife pest dwelling in or near residences or commercial buildings around your place will be effaced under careful trapping and exclusion or removal. An example of removal technique is the bat problem in California that needs bat proofing in order to get rid of the screeching and whirring sound tarrying in the secret corners of the house and other dimmed areas of buildings.
Moreover, the damage management, when well executed by our company, will stop wild animals that are disease carriers in their consistent dwelling in a particular place.
Call any of our California Branches, and we'll address your Wild Life Pest Problems using the proper gear and techniques.
A Different Approach to Wildlife Management and Removal
Antech's focus is on Habitat Modification rather than trapping / relocation or euthanasia - when possible .
The reason why wiild animals are so comfortable living amongst human- (typically in our basements or attics) is because they were born in one.
Sometimes they are the 2nd and/or 3rd generation which were born in/under/around the very home you live in.
In many cases, un-welcome Wildlife intruders can be made to leave on their own by using predator scents, One way Doors, and by installing destabilization materials. Antech's approach is to use Safe/ Poison free Modern Equipment and Techniques. We will set Traps at no charge if our initial approach doesn't work.
We also offer Guaranteed Exclusion and Repairs of the Damage caused by Wildlife Intrusion.
There are many many ways to change their behavior.
Our process to resolving some situations may seem other than the norm, but evolved scientifically through 20 year of empirical reasoning.

Tech firm denies use of unauthorized software
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – One of the companies allegedly identified by a local team combatting software piracy in the country denied its use of unauthorized software.
In a letter to INQUIRER.net dated Jan. 10, 2014, Wade J. Cason, Peregrine Development International Inc. vice president and chief technology officer, said: "Contrary to what has been published, Peregrine does not use unauthorized software."
Cason cited that in the "Certificate of Seizure" that was issued to the company by agents of the Optical Media Board (OMB) which conducted an inspection in the presence of representatives of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOHL), an OMB agent noted "N/A" because "no illegal software was seized from us and we have satisfactorily presented all our licenses and invoices to them".
Quoting from Attorney Anthony Chadd Concepcion, OMB consultant, Cason said that the document, a copy of which was sent to INQUIRER.net, was OMB's "standard template" and that "this does not mean that the company was being charged with violations of RA 9239 because the notations in the Certificate of Seizure would prove otherwise".
Cason added that proof that Peregrine has been "compliant with the law" was when Martin San Pedro from the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and IPOHL representative, told Joseph Lorenz Ramos, Peregrine's Systems Administrator, that the company would be recommended as "role model for Software License Management".
Peregrine was among 10 businesses identified by the Pilipinas Anti-Piracy Team (PAPT) as having allegedly used unauthorized software.
The OMB and IPOHL are two of the agencies involved in crackdown operations, along with the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation.

I am probably jumping the gun a bit but need some advice on whether or not and how to approach my daughter's preschool teacher about her temperament issues. Dd turned four in July and has been periodically seeing pediatric therapist since the spring for what started out as anxiety/extreme shyness and has over the past few months morphed into explosive tantrums that at their worst involve pinching, biting, flipping chairs, etc. Funny thing is the therapist "predicted" this may happen and said that four can be rougher than three as far as emotional development goes.
Husband and I decided preschool would be a good gateway to kindergarten, more so for socialization than academically b/c she's already ahead of the curve there. She is only child and only has a couple of real playmates but we have always made it a priority to go to playgrounds, storytimes, etc.
Like I said, up until about six months ago her biggest problem was anxiety, very clingy and hesitant around new people but then she started getting more intense, prolonged tantrums, at least 3 to 4 times a week. She wants to go to the park and play but gets really possessive and will actually guard the swings and has said she hates babies because they tend to stare at her (as babies do). I suspect some sensory issues because she doesn't like crowd noise but also some social deficits because she seems fine approaching kids one day but will other days will sulk after an hour at the park and say she didn't have time to make friends.
Her therapist has us reading the Explosive Child and we are noticing some improvement with CPS approach already, but of course, she still has bad days and I have no idea how or if this is going to manifest in a classroom setting. We visited the class in the spring and dd loved it, but explosions were just starting to manifest. So far the worst of the rages have been reserved for me with a couple of exceptions but she doesn't necessarily confine them to home. She has never been physically violent with other kids up to this point (thank goodness) though she did clip a toddler with a swing a couple of weeks ago after I told her to stop hogging it.
So... the therapist's stance is that its too soon to diagnose her with anything and I don't disagree but am I obligated to tell her teacher what is going on? Obviously I don't want anyone to be at the mercy of dd's explosions, but worry about her being slapped with a label if we tell the teacher what we're dealing with at present?
Did I mention I have GAD myself? As though this post doesn't prove it
If that's not an option, I would generally say that to just wait and see what happens. My dd can be ... dramatic. But, it really seems she saves it for me. (Aren't I special?) She seems much less dramatic around everyone else. And at preschool, she does just fine.
Good luck and

Hi and Welcome to Mothering!
It looks like you have gotten a good response already. I would try maybe posting in Special Needs Parenting as well, they might have some good input.
I hope you get some good answers!

My 5yr old started having an awful tantrum each day similar to what you described. Other than the one daily tantrum she is excellent and a big helper and we thought they just couldn't be her simply acting out. We tried eliminating dyes and extra sugar which she very rarely got anyways but nothing helped. Someone mentioned gluten so we cut it out 3wks ago and after the first 3 or 4 days we haven't had one tantrum. It has been wonderful having my little girl behaving again! I am 9months pregnant so I had been tired and we were eating pb n j and bread way more than our very TF diet pre-pregnancy. So maybe it is food related for you guys too, just something to try. Good Luck!
Mama to Belly(5), homesteading in the desert with our chickens and sheep. Fish nerd, really into my reef tank. Baby due Sep 3rd!
I would examine the preschool factor in your daughter's behavioral changes. Research shows that preschool enrollment tends to have a negative effect on social skills, behavior and emotional development. One of the largest and most recent studies is by UC Berkeley:
My dh and I have always been pro-family caretakers and while I was working part time dd was always in my mother's care. The preschool program she is scheduled to attend is 2 days a week, 2.5 hours a day; I would not want her doing more than that anyway. And certainly if she reacts negatively, we will not hesitate to pull her out.

Tigers claw Bulldogs
UST becomes first fourth seed to make Finals, seals title showdown vs La Salle
COACH Pido Jarencio cried unabashedly as University of Santo Tomas stood seconds away from clinching a championship berth.
The emotional reaction came after his Tigers became the first No. 4 team to advance to the UAAP men's basketball Finals with a 76-69 decision that ousted top-seeded National University yesterday in their do-or-die semifinal duel at Mall of Asia Arena.
The Tigers overcame the twice-to-beat advantage of the Bulldogs with Kevin Ferrer and Jeric Teng knocking in the clutch baskets in the final quarter to derail NU's late fightback.
"This is history, this is the first time this happened," said Ferrer. "This is destiny for us."
The Tigers will go for another shot at the crown against the streaking La Salle Green Archers this week in what would seem like a revival of their fierce rivalry in the '90s.
Game 1 of the best-of-three championship series is set on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
"I'm speechless," said Jarencio, who couldn't hold back his emotions even at the press room. "Hindi ko akalain na aabot ng Finals. Madaming taong nagdududa sa kakayanan ko (I never thought we will reach the Finals. So many doubted my capabilities)."
Jarencio, indeed, had every reason to be emotional as the Tigers headed into the game with history against them as no fourth-ranked team has eliminated the No. 1 seed since the league introduced the Final Four format in 1994.
But the Tigers came out confident from the get-go, building an 11-point advantage right in the first quarter before dousing the Bulldogs' repeated rallies.
Ferrer knocked in half of his 18 points from three-point range, the last triple sparking a huge 17-8 windup in the last four minutes.
The self-destructing Bulldogs committed a spate of turnovers in the final minute as NU star Ray Parks also wound up scoreless in the final quarter.
Jeric Teng topscored with 19 and Aljon Mariano delivered 12 points and 10 rebounds to help the Tigers go for another try at the title after bowing to the Ateneo Blue Eagles in last year's Finals.
NU also absorbed a painful loss earlier as the Lady Archers blasted the top-ranked Lady Bulldogs, 72-48, in Game 1 of the women's championship.
Ara Abaca had a double-double outing of 16 points and 11 rebounds while Trisha Piatos shot 15 for the Lady Archers, who outscored the Lady Bulldogs, 22-7, in the final quarter.
"It was a great defensive effort on our part," said La Salle coach Tyrone Bautista. "Going into this game, NU was the No. 1 offensive team."
The scores:
UST 76–Teng 19, Ferrer 18, Mariano 12, Bautista 8, Sheriff 6, Abdul 6, Daquioag 3, Lo 2, Pe 1, Lao 1.
NU 69–Parks 15, Mbe 10, Alolino 10. Javelona 9, Villamor 8, Rosario 6, Roño 6, Khobuntin 3, Javillonar 2, Neypes 0, Alejandro 0.
Quarters: 19-10, 31-31, 50-49, 76-69

Originally written on The Flagrant Fan | Last updated 11/18/14
There have been a lot of mixed feelings out in the blogging world on what the Texas Rangers have done by signing Lance Berkman. There is a palpable risk for the Rangers since Berkman only played 32 games in 2012 due to continued problems with his knees. But what if Berkman could play a hundred games in 2013? If that could happen or more, then Lance Berkman will be worth every penny of that $10 million the Rangers will be paying him. At times quietly (most of his seasons in Houston) and at other times noisily (Cardinals in 2011), Lance Berkman has been one of the best offensive players of his generation. Don't think so? Check out these six things you may not know about him. 1. Lance Berkman has a career on-base average over .400 (.409). That is 38th all time. He has walked more than 90 times in a season in ten of his fourteen seasons and three of those were over a hundred times. Only ten players in history have walked more than 90 times in a season in more seasons than Berkman...

Sally Ortiz stood in her light blue shirt and black slacks, hair pulled in a tight bun, police belt wrapped around her waist.
She had her rubber gun pointed at a man crawling on the ground.
"Bang bang bang bang bang," the 17-year-old said, leaving the man "dead" just before he reached a stray gun.
Ortiz, a Costa Mesa Police Explorer, was participating in an active shooter scenario during a competition last month for explorers from Orange County and surrounding areas. The annual two-day event, hosted by the Orange County Law Enforcement Explorer Advisor's Association, puts 48 teams of explorers through various police scenarios. The teams compete for plaques and bragging rights for a year.
To Ortiz, the weekend and the program are more than just competition – they are preparing her for a career in law enforcement.
It's a goal driven by tragedy in her life. Ortiz was 8 years old and living in Guatemala when her father was shot. A year later, her mother was killed, shot in her car.
The last time Ortiz saw her mother was when she dropped her and her siblings off at school. She told her children she loved them before she left.
"I looked back and said, 'I love you too. Bye, Mommy,'" Ortiz recalled.
Ortiz and her three siblings moved back to Costa Mesa, where Ortiz was born, to live with their grandmother.
The family still does not know why her parents were killed, and it's unlikely they'll ever find out, she said.
As she got older, Ortiz started watching detective shows – "Criminal Minds" and "Without a Trace" became favorites. Those were the shows where the good guys solved crimes and put the bad guys behind bars.
That helped drive her passion to become one of the good guys.
Then, four years ago, a middle school security officer familiar with the family's story told Ortiz and her older sister, Fatima Arriaza, about the police explorers. It was the first Ortiz had heard of the program for teenagers interested in law enforcement.
She joined right away, and made her sister join with her.
"When she first came in, she was quiet as a mouse," said explorer adviser Kha Bao, a Costa Mesa police officer.

Do you know where in Queens this photo was taken? Guess by commenting below! The answer will be revealed next week.
Last week's answer to "Identify this Place": 30th Avenue N train stop in Astoria
More Astoria streets are getting cleaner thanks to the "men in blue."
After hearing positive feedback from residents and business owners, The Doe Fund, which was initially brought to the western Queens neighborhood in April, will now expand street sweeping services to Steinway Street, Newtown Road, Ditmars Boulevard and 23rd Avenue, Councilman Costa Constantinides announced Thursday.
"This will be a boon to residents and small business owners across Astoria. The 'men in blue' will continue to provide reinforcements and additional resources to help keep Astoria clean," said Constantinides, who has allocated over $130,000 for street sweeping by The Doe Fund as part of the new city-wide initiative Clean NYC.
The nonprofit organization, which employs recently homeless or formerly incarcerated people as part of its Ready, Willing, and Able transitional work program, was keeping the sidewalks clean and clearing the corner trash cans along 30th Avenue, Broadway and 31st Street.
"This program will increase the quality of life in Astoria, that's the most important. Clean the street, find new jobs and community come together to be concerned about the quality of life," said Ahmed Jamil, president of the Muslim American Society. "At the end of the day [before] you [saw] the garbage on the streets and you now don't see it anymore."
Although the Department of Sanitation collects trash from corner trash cans once per day in Astoria, the expansion of The Doe Fund helps alleviate the trash and littered streets which have previously caused problems in the neighborhood, such as sidewalk accessibility and shopping issues, according to Constantinides.
"The Doe Fund, combined with community street and graffiti clean-ups, will continue to make a difference in our district and across the city," said Constantinides, who has also allocated $30,000 in funding for graffiti removal services. "Clean streets and buildings make our neighborhood more enjoyable and inviting—a win for everyone."
A woman fought off an attempted rapist after the man attacked her as she was walking down an Astoria street Sunday, police said.
The 23-year-old victim was on 30th Avenue about 3:30 a.m. when the suspect approached her from behind and pushed her to the ground, cops said.
Once on the ground, the suspect attempted to rape the woman, according to police. She struggled with the man, who then fled.
The victim sustained cuts and scratched to her legs and buttocks during the incident, but refused medical attention on scene, the NYPD said.
Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic male in his early 30s, 5'7″ tall and 145 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or can text their tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential.
R&B singer Trey Songz was arrested for throwing a wad of bills at a woman in a Woodside strip club this summer, according to the Daily News.
At the time of the August 22 incident, the 28-year-old was having an album release party at Club Perfection on 30th Avenue.
Donna McIntosh-Inoe, a 36-year-old Staten Island woman who paid $700 to sit with Songz, told the Daily News that during the party she took a cell phone picture of the musician, upsetting him.
When Songz couldn't delete the photo, he allegedly threw a ball of money at McIntosh-Inoe's face, giving her a black eye.
McIntosh-Inoe immediately reported the assault at a nearby police station.
According to court record, Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, was arrested on September 20 and charged with misdemeanor assault. He is scheduled to appear in court again on February 11.

"Go Rays," Said The Yankee Fan, Part 2
By Bernadette Pasley ,
But they were able only to score 1 more run, and when all was said and done, after 14 innings, the Red Sox won the game and still retained a 1-game lead in the AL Wild Card Race. To say I was disappointed would be putting it mildly. It almost felt as if the Red Sox had swept the doubleheader.
So Boston still leads and Tampa Bay is one game behind. Boston is in Baltimore for its final three games. The Yankees, who have 97 wins, start their final regular season series tonight against the Rays. They are all saying the politically correct thing: "We want to win our games." Come on, guys. What's more important: winning 100 games or knocking the Red Sox out of the playoffs? Don't know? Just ask Russell Martin.
Go Rays. Go Orioles.

The One and water weight
I'm on day 5 of my "the one" cycle @3caps/day and I am up 3 lbs. However, I definitely noticed that at least half of it has to be water. I drink around a gallon a day and I don't take creatine. Anyway, the reason why I know this is because I am peeing WAY less. I drink a quart before work, during lunch, pre/during workout, and post-workout/ before bed. I barely have to piss when I wake up and I definitely feel more bloated.
I just think that the reported gains may be a little unrealistic, as those less familiar with their bodies (or urination schedules) may not even notice this.
Other reasons: I am on a cut and my abs are less visible. Cardio has gotten a little harder as I feel like I am going to puke during my sprints.
I know it's a little early in the cycle, and this could change, but there's no way these are lean pounds. Most of the logs I've read didn't seem to mention holding water. Thoughts?

Your body could be holding onto water for dietary reasons. Either you're not drinking enough water for your exercise level, or having high carbohydrates (for every gram of carbohydrate your body stores 3g of water) or too much sodium, or not eating enough; it could be many factors.Contact Me for INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING AND NUTRITION

As long as I eat clean I definitely do not retain water on this stuff. When I decide to cheat and have some sort of sugary snack, then I feel bloated. Otherwise I feel like I spend half my day in the restroom sometimes I have to piss so frequently.
As for strength gains, I started noticing gains towards the end of the second week. From there it really started to climb.

Hackers target US security think tank
The employee, Cody Sultenfuss, said he had no warning before his details were posted.
"They took money I did not have," he told The Associated Press in a series of emails, which did not specify the amount taken. "I think why me? I am not rich."
One member of the hacking group, who uses the handle AnonymousAbu on Twitter, claimed that more than 90,000 credit cards from law enforcement, the intelligence community and journalists - "corporate/exec accounts of people like Fox" news - had been hacked and used to "steal a million dollars" and make donations.
It was impossible to verify where credit card details were used. Fox News was not on the excerpted list of Stratfor members posted online, but other media organizations including MSNBC and Al Jazeera English appeared in the file.
Anonymous warned it has "enough targets lined up to extend the fun fun fun of LulzXmas through the entire next week."
The group has previously claimed responsibility for attacks on companies such as Visa, MasterCard and PayPal, as well as others in the music industry and the Church of Scientology.

Service to honor souls who lived, died on street
CORPUS CHRISTI - At least a dozen fewer people are homeless on Corpus Christi streets this year -- because they died there.
Three died in February in bitter cold, some were victims of violent crimes, some were sick, said Cynthia Contreras, a member of the National Coalition for the Homeless.
The coalition will remember them during its eighth annual National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day Sunrise Service. The service at 7 a.m. Friday at Kinney Park is one of 125 such services in U.S. cities as winter approaches and nights get longer. Collectively the services report about 5,000 deaths, about the same number of homeless people the coalition estimates as being in the Corpus Christi area.
"The memorial is to bring dignity to the silent outcry from those who lack services, those who had barriers," Contreras said. "It has nothing to do with religion, race, gender, age, or national origin. It has to do with the song of the season: "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed..."
At the memorial five years ago, former state Sen. Carlos Truan compared the homeless to Mary and Joseph after reading the names of the dead and placing a single red rose in remembrance of his half brother, Jose E. Garcia, a homeless veteran whose bones were found in an abandoned house.
"Mary and Joseph were going from place to place trying to find a place to have their child, Jesus," Truan said that morning. "All of us have a responsibility to the homeless." Truan said he tried to help his brother, "...but he wanted to be on his own."
Contreras wept when asked for the exact number of this year's dead, because she knows the number could increase before Friday.
In 2006 a man was found dead an hour before the memorial service, in a trash bin.
Since 2000, 248 people have died on the streets, she said.
"I don't like to do this, it's the most difficult thing -- to face this war on the streets that takes away these people living in dire or extreme socioeconomic conditions."
The Most Rev. Bishop Edmond Carmody, who will speak at the service, said the remembrance sends a message to those still surviving on the streets.
"We must let the poorest of the poor know they are not forgotten," Carmody said. "We work with them while alive and we will not forget them when they're dead."
What: Memorial service for those who died on Corpus Christi streets in 2008
When: 7 a.m. Friday
Where: Kinney Park at Kinney Street and Shoreline Boulevard

Yumi Media Says to Discouraged Vegetarians, 'Be Cool. Follow One Direction'
Yumi Media advises vegetarians who are discouraged by the angst of the vegetarian lifestyle to follow the popular boy band One Direction´s commitment to eating healthy and remain on track.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) March 28, 2013
On March 28, Yumi Media, a food website devoted to delivering the latest and greatest in food news, recipes, and products to incorporate into your own healthy lifestyle, says to follow One Direction´s commitment to eating healthy when facing discouragement.
According to Hello! Daily News, One Direction "will be ditching fast food for fruits and vegetables." Chef Sarah Nicholas of Sarah's Kitchen has been hired to "make sure that the boys, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, eat healthily."
Hello! Daily News reports that this isn't the first time that the boys have been put on a special diet. In August 2012 they were reportedly under strict orders to eat more vegetables after their heavy stage make-up caused them to break out in spots. They were given three vegetable drinks a day to help clear up their skin.
"Vegetarians often think that they are alone when having to commit to a healthier lifestyle," says Justin Maas, Yumi Media representative. "Although One Direction hasn´t come out to say that they are vegetarian, eating healthy is still a positive step forward."
Maas adds that celebrity diets are usually modeled after by the general public. "One Direction should check out Quorn if they want to try something really healthy and awesome tasting, especially for people trying to transition out of a meat-eating lifestyle. I think teens should check out One Direction and model themselves after their new diet. Be cool. Follow One Direction."
Yumi Media is a food website devoted to delivering the latest and greatest in food news, recipes, and products to incorporate into your own healthy lifestyle. Launched in 2012, Yumi Media was founded by a group of friends as a way to explore their mutual love of food while sharing that love with the community at large. Whether you´re looking for something cutting-edge, comfort food like mom used to make or something in between, Yumi Media is your one-stop resource.

A Walk to Bond and Remember
By AE ARAIZA
More than 300 people quietly moved along the Rillito River Walk from Children's Memorial Park – some with balloons, most wearing purple T-shirts – but almost all remembering the heartbreaking loss of a child.
Footprints Support Group and Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital sponsored the seventh annual Tucson Walk to Remember, a symbolic, half-mile walk and celebration of life held Saturday at the park, 4851 N. 15th Place.
The ceremony included music, a balloon release and words of encouragement as parents, relatives, friends and healthcare professionals joined to remember infants who have died but will never be forgotten.
"We walk to remember the steps they (the babies) will never take," said organizer Mina Rose, a registered nurse. "These are babies who have died stillborn, miscarried or newborn."
Parents who have gone through those losses can meet and get help at Footprints Support Group, which provides a healing environment so they can share experiences, thoughts and feelings.
The support group meets at 7:30 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month at St. Joseph's Hospital, 350 N. Wilmot Road. The group meets at the Women's Pavilion in the Agave Room.
Call 873-6590 for more information.

Handle graphics is the name of a set of low level-level graphics functions that control the characters of graphics objects generated by MATLAB. These functions are normally inserted inside the M-files, but these are very important to the programmer, as these allow them to have fine control on the appearance of the plots and graphs that they generate. For example, to turn on a grid on the x-axis only, or to choose a line color such as orange, which is not supported by the standard LineSpace option of the plot command can be done with handle graphics. Moreover handle graphics enable a programmer to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for programs.
The MATLAB graphics system is based on a hierarchical system of core graphics objects, each of which is known by a unique number called a handle. The hierarchy of MATLAB graphics objects is shown in Figure 1

"I'm back..."
And there it stood in all its evil glory...the embodiment of her worst fears...in the middle of the kitchen.
Judy's mouth opened to let out an involuntary scream and her first instinct was to run, but like in a nightmare, she couldn't move and her scream came out in a strangled gurgle. Purposely thwarted before it even started, it left her silently gasping for a breath, hoping beyond hope it wouldn't be her last.
"Did you miss me?"
Please let me be dreaming, Judy pleaded within her head. Her eyes beginning to tear up from having had her outcry so emphatically and forcefully squelched, she blinked frantically, repeatedly trying to clear her vision. She had to be dreaming, she thought, desperately wanting to believe the disturbing sight in front of her was nothing more than a product of her subconscious after eating ice cream too late at night. But the strong smell of...Was that brimstone?...mixed with espresso still hanging in the air told her otherwise. No...I'm not dreaming...this is really happening!
Her eyes somewhat blurry but her sense of reasoning still fully intact despite the panic-strickened turbulence that was her mind, Judy stared helplessly at none other than Satan's daughter, Christina Nickson's slightly out of focus features smirking smugly back at her as a sudden feeling of being stuck in some kind of evil deja vu time warp washed over her. She'd already taken her family hostage once before and let them go. Why was she back?
Oh God no!
The paralyzing, almost possessive grip on her limbs more than vaguely familiar...Judy had a chilling suspicion that this time around there would be no escaping the blond's frightening clutches.
At that exact moment, this inevitable forgone conclusion wasn't only occurring in Judy's mind. Taking into consideration who she was, Christina's ominous presence obscured any thoughts of escaping the intangible yet very real hold she had on both mother and daughter, which seemed to be, not only powerful but all-encompassing.
"No, of course you didn't miss me," Christina went on to say when neither Judy nor Meg responded. Not that they could have commented even if they wanted to seeing as, along with almost completely immobilizing them, she had taken away their ability to speak...which although it seemed very much like overcompensation on Christina's part, quite possibly might have been kind of a good thing considering that either one or both of them wouldn't likely have had the most politically correct response at the ready and that the slightest misplaced comment or provocation might just tick Christina off. And the last thing they needed to do was to anger the 'Child of the Beast', who they already knew from experience didn't handle feelings of displeasure very well. "But don't worry...that doesn't hurt my feelings...I've gotten used to people hating me."
Meg was almost certain from Christina's all too familiar fake smile and tone of voice that she wasn't being truthful. But, her breath coming in shallow gasps, she was more certain that the life was slowly being squeezed out of her, and after realizing her voice of reason was being silenced as well, her last vestibule of hope was fastly fading along with it. She had thought that if they found Christina they could save her, and in turn...save themselves. She could truly see now how foolish she had been.
Judy! Meg cried out inwardly when with a flick of her hair, Christina's intense preoccupation seemed to shift. But not in a good way. Driven by her maternal instincts, Meg tried with all her might to turn her head to assess the predicament her daughter was in. Finding the effort frustrating in its pointlessness she at least managed to roll her eyes to the left where she saw...to her relief...Judy, still alive, but struggling uselessly within her own personal hell.
"What's the matter Jude? Cat got your tongue?"
Her thoughts reeling at a frenzied pace, all Meg could think about was how much more evil Christina seemed now than a few weeks ago. And remembering how battered and broken Sarah Parker's body had been after being spitefully granted her last request to 'go to' her son Jesse when Christina knew very well he was lying dead under a heap of wreckage that was once the Kramer's family's home, Meg quickly said a small silent prayer...Oh Lord, please don't let Christina be using the term literally...
And, as great minds think alike...or like mother, like daughter...or whatever other phrase that might befit the moment, knowing her ex best friend's warped sense of humor all too well, Judy's eyes widened in horror and she nearly peed her pants a little thinking that sometime in the last three weeks...perhaps during a visit with her biological father...Christina had acquired some kind of demonic cat from a Petco in hell since she'd been gone. She really really hoped she was wrong. Although her tongue felt numb and unfortunately was quite useless at present, she had grown rather fond of it over the last seventeen years.
As inconspicuous as possible Judy swallowed inaudibly and carefully unclenched her kegel muscles in an attempt to regain her composure. She didn't want to give Christina any ideas to torture or maim her with. She most likely had plenty of her own.
"By the way, nice outfit...I'm going to assume you were going for the Daisy Duke look?"
Oh God where was Duke when you needed him? Judy asked herself, suddenly recalling how the family's usually docile dog had growled and barked at Christina shortly after she had first entered their lives. And speaking of the devil, Judy thought, grimly suspecting that the answer might lie with the peculiar fact surfacing for the first time in her brain that no one had seen hide nor hair of him since that fateful day, did Boyd kill Duke after realizing he could sense the evil Christina possessed within her and then secretly put some kind of spell on all of us to make us forget?
Before Judy had a chance to delve deeper into the mystery of what gruesome and sorrowful fate the long time family pet might have met that summer, Christina began burrowing deeper into the questionable fashion statement she was making, even going so far as to offer her a tip. But the real question on everyone's mind was - would she really have time to use it?
