MILTON -- A memorial service for the Ballston Spa High School student who was killed by an allegedly drunk driver has been scheduled for Wednesday evening, school officials announced.
Kari Liedel, 14, was walking on West Milton Road at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday when police say she was struck by a Ford Escape driven by 21-year-old Gavin Staulters. She died at the scene.
Those who knew the teenager, a Milton resident, described her as someone who loved to sing and dance and was always smiling and laughing.
"Kari had just completed ninth grade," school officials said in a statement posted to the district's website Monday. "Our collective thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this time of grief."

School officials said calling hours and a memorial service will begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Armer Funeral Home in Ballston Spa. The school will make grief counselors available at the high school from noon to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, a school spokesperson said.
Residents of the road where Liedel was struck say kids often walk down it to go to a nearby Stewart's Shop or creek. They also say it is not the first time an accident occurred on the street and that vehicles often speed down the road, which has a posted speed limit of 35 mph.
Staulters, of Rock City Road, which intersects with West Milton Road, was charged with driving while intoxicated following the collision. Prosecutors have said nothing about his speed, but reiterated Monday they will be seeking a felony vehicular manslaughter charge once they receive the results of Staulters' toxicology report.
That typically takes between six and eight weeks, Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III said Monday afternoon, and prosecutors must obtain those results from the New�York State Police crime lab before presenting the case to a grand jury, which can add additional charges.
Staulters was arraigned on the DWI charge and released from Saratoga County Jail after posting bail sometime over the weekend. In the interim, Murphy said Staulters "cannot plead guilty (to DWI) and avoid the vehicular manslaughter charge."
Donations in Liedel's memory will be collected at the service, school officials said, and additional online grief and bereavement resources can be found at the district's website, bscsd.org.
Liedel is the second Ballston Spa student to die in a car collision this year.
Noelle Johnsen, 17, was a passenger in Brian Vecchio's Chevy Silverado when Vecchio passed another car at 98 mph and crashed into a utility pole on the night of Jan. 7. There is no indication alcohol played a role in that crash, Murphy said.
Vecchio, who has pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide, will likely be sentenced to 1-1/3 to 4 years in state prison in August.

For the granola, taste of home has recipe for that too, the one I used has honey in it, very good. Now for part of the truffle, gave a 5 star because the ease to make not a lot of ingredients, most I had on hand. As for the taste, I never have any left over when taken to work.

GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE DISTRICT officials are taking a long-range look at the popular Larkspur ferry fleet, which is grappling with challenges of its success.
More commuters are turning to the ferries to get to and from their jobs in San Francisco.
Some days, there isn't room on the boats for as many as 100 commuters who show up to take the ferry, but wind up getting a bus ride to the city.
For years, the Larkspur Landing terminal parking lot has been too small to handle the traffic from the 5,300 passengers who ride the ferries each weekday.
Today, the lack of parking is constraining Golden Gate's ability to meet public demand to commute by ferry. The district is looking into building more parking and adding another run to its morning service.
They should take diligent steps to make sure their riders are involved in that decision.
The ferries are a local public transit success story. They divert thousands of commuters from driving across the bridge. Yet, most riders drive their cars to the ferry as shuttle buses have had little success.
There is a convenience quotient that transit has to satisfy to be effective.
Waiting around for a shuttle to take you to a ferry, where you have to wait some more, is not attractive to most time-focused commuters.
In fact, building Larkspur ferry ridership was a struggle until the district lowered fares and introduced faster ferries that shaved the transbay ride to 30 minutes.
District officials say that ridership is on track to grow by about 5 percent annually.
The trick is to maintain that growth, responding to public demand for the service without sacrificing the convenience and dependability that make riding the ferry such an attractive alternative.
Ferry managers are at that decision-making crossroads.
They should engage their riders about the challenges and choices in a wide-open "we're listening" public meeting, timed and located to attract riders' participation.
The district's Transportation Committee already has approved a "vision" plan that includes increasing runs in the morning. That plan still needs the full board's approval.
Increasing ferry service doesn't fix the parking mess. The district has already expanded the lot three times since 1998. There are now 1,803 spaces.
Officials are talking about building a multi-level parking structure over the lot and charging for parking to help pay for it.
A nominal charge, such as $1, makes sense and the riders should be able to pay it either in cash or by FasTrak. Slowing access from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard by having riders stop and pay for parking may be more problematic.
There is some sentiment that the district should set parking charges at a level that drives riders onto shuttle buses. However, it might also drive them to forgo the ferries and commute by car.
The ferry is a public transit success story. Decreasing its convenience and increasing its cost may drive away riders.

Every April there's a daily rush to the waiver wire.
Who got overlooked in the draft? Who got off to a cold start and was prematurely dropped by an impatient owner? Who started off hot, but didn't pique enough interest to get picked? Get 'em while can.
But as May approaches, impact players left on the waiver wire are at a minimum. But there's always help waiting in the minors.
The tricky part is how long you want to go to battle with a dead spot on your roster, waiting for your young stud to get his call to the starting gate. I went through it last year with the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo. I had him stashed on my bench for weeks and weeks, and those lost RBIs and runs I would have gotten from just having an average major-leaguer in that spot came back to haunt me.
You can't always predict when a team will call up a prospect. And the waiting game is no fun to play. But it's part of the game.
Whether you need to jump-start your struggling team or bolster an already-strong squad, here's a few minor leaguers worth securing over the coming days:
o�Wil Myers: The consensus best player in the minor leagues. Tampa Bay is in the bottom third in the majors in runs scored, and their spark plug is waiting down in Durham.
He's been hitting the ball well (.333 through Friday) and there's no roadblock for the outfielder in St. Petersburg. Yunel Escobar is scuffling at short and right fielder Ben Zobrist can easily slide in there. Matt Joyce is the left fielder and Shelley Duncan tops the depth chart at DH. In other words, whenever you're ready Rays.
o�Daniel Straily: I've picked him up in every league I could. He had a dominant first start of the season while keeping a rotation spot warm for the returning-from-suspension Bartolo Colon. He then went to the minors and made three more starts -- three wins, two earned runs, 20 strikeouts and 11 hits allowed in 18(TM) innings.
Colon has never been the picture of health (or even fit in the picture in the first place), Brett Anderson is a DL trip waiting to be booked and Jarrod Parker has an 8.10 ERA. Straily will find his way back to Oakland very soon.
o�Mike Zunino: The Seattle catching prospect has been targeting a mid-2013 call-up since the offseason, but the Mariners' weak bats only make it more inevitable.
o�Jesus Montero, Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales are the C-1B-DH triangle right now, but Montero is hitting .208 and Smoak is at .221, each with just a homer apiece. Morales is having a better offensive season so far, and is more established, so Zunino's arrival will send Smoak and Morales into a battle for one spot. The loser will find themselves on the bench, or back in the minors.
o�Nick Franklin: Another Mariner on the horizon. Brendan Ryan already got kicked out of the shortstop spot this week in favor of Robert Andino. Andino will be forced out by Franklin.
Franklin is hitting .388 with two homers and three steals in 49 at-bats this season, including a 5-for-5 performance on Thursday. He will be a part of the upcoming Mariners makeover. Move that bus.
o�Allen Webster: Webster came to Boston in the blockbuster trade last summer and already made one quality start for the Red Sox last weekend when they needed him for a doubleheader. When you're a John Lackey injury away from getting the call, make sure your bags are already packed.
o�Billy Hamilton: He stole one hundred and fifty-five bases last season. I know AP style dictates to use a numeral with any number over nine, but I want to be sure you don't think that's a typo. One hundred and fifty-five.
The current starting shortstop on the Reds is hitting .198.
Batting average and stolen-base numbers should never be that close. Make the move.

So I am a beginner from last summer and now it is winter and around -10 celcius... i have been working on my form - indoors mainly, but I have also tried to get those putters flying on a schoolyard close by a couple of times. The last time I went out I got some pretty good distances around 90-100 steps (~meters?). Then all of a sudden my underarm just gave up and went numb with a lactic acidish kind of feeling. I gave it a weeks rest and just now I did some toweldrills with some good hits, but after 5 mins my underarm got tired. I have done some searching on the web but this doesent seem to be a common problem.
My question is short: What can this be a sign of?
English is not my language so sorry if it was a pain to read : )
Edit: To be clear, my underarm feels stiff and powerless a couple of days after.

I'm guessing folks will have a hearty appetite to read as much as humanly possible on the December employment report. While I definitely appreciate that, poring over another jobs rundown would do none of us any good.
Why? Take a step back. After this historic week -- and assuming you, too, dumped stocks last month -- are you honestly able to say your portfolio is well-positioned to rock out in the next month, six months or, heaven forbid, the next year?
My suspicion is that many people have been attempting to catch headlines and trade accordingly, as they feel overwhelmed by divergent opinions on hard-to-grasp concepts. This is precisely the reason I am shying away from the #NFP predictions game and, instead, have decided to outline three secret messages that have been delivered since at the start of 2013. Over the coming weekend, these are the prevailing themes you should use to find stocks that fit for your preferred investment time horizon.
Theme 1: Consumers Hold the Golden Ticket
I despise the comment that says, "The U.S. consumer represents 70% of the gross domestic product." It's an extraordinarily dated statistic, and is usually dropped by an individual who is no longer doing the research but, rather, has numbers fed to them in written form by a recent college grad.
But, for purposes of keeping it simple, this number is of interest, given the recent holiday-sales reads from major retailers. I'm not sure about you, but I've learned the following:
1. Underlying consumer spending has entered 2013 with modest momentum. That's indicative of first-half GDP growth of 1% or less in 2013, and it confirms shocks to confidence reports.
2. This looks like a noticeable consumer-spending slowdown due to dark, thick tax clouds and disappearing wage income. That carries negative ramifications for companies indirectly involved with the consumer -- for example, FedEx (FDX) and Swift Transportation (SWFT), the latter of which is a trucker for Wal-Mart (WMT). (Yes, I know, FedEx has a massive restructuring plan that will magically offset any top-line weakness)
3. If Family Dollar's (FDO) increasingly unfortunate news flow is a good marker, low-income consumers are heading to a worse spot than that seen in the 2011 inflation zone.
My advice is that you scour the retail complex for domestic-centric names that unduly rose Thursday, such as Aeropostale (ARO), and hit the short button for a portfolio-augmenting trade. If you're inclined to go long and strong the consumer as a contrarian play, roll with a stock like Nike (NKE). That company has a runway of easy comparisons ahead and is globally diversified.
Theme 2: Respect the Market's 'Tells'
Investors tend to become enamored with the optics of a huge market session such as what we scored Wednesday. However, amid the hype, they tend to lose focus on what the market is conveying through its outward exuberance. As a result, they will likely lose confidence in any tangible signs of encouragement that come with even the slightest taste of negativity. (This works the opposite way, too).
At the moment, we should respect the following:
1. CEOs lobbying on Capitol Hill are attempting to maintain investor expectations via their continued complaining. However, the truth is that this newfound certainty -- the kind found in the lame piece of cliff legislation that just passed -- unlocks action plans to gain market share, grow for the future and pull back on the dreary commentary tone that was offered in the third quarter of last year.
2. Fear still permeates the market. That is the cement that helps build the mythical wall of worry for investors to climb -- right into an earnings season characterized by all eyes being fixed on outlooks, instead of the actual quarterlies. Those outlooks, by the way, are shaping up to be in-line, which is a positive.
3. Companies are prepared to hold on to their shareholder bases by pumping out dividend increases and share buybacks. That could be an interesting combination if the economy averts recession in the first half and re-accelerates in the second (the current baseline expectation), especially as it regards potential expansion in net margin and price-to-earnings ratios.
Theme 3: Study or Get Eaten Alive
Here's the bottom line: In 2013, the Federal Reserve is going nowhere with respect to its abnormal quantitative-easing efforts, and that was set in motion by the array of drastic actions and forward guidance provided at the last 2012 policy meeting. Don't be fooled by this chatter of policy members perhaps signaling concern on inflation. There is no real evidence of anything but the fact that enough economic slack remains to suppress personal incomes.
So I conclude the week constructive on stocks, to use a bit of jargon. As for #NFP, the ADP basically removed a sub-100,000 print from the equation, which would have dinged markets. Should we see a number north of 150,000, views of a second-half growth re-acceleration will become emboldened, as will a belief that the economy stands to break free from Uncle Sam's shackles by the second half.

From OpenWetWare
Our goal is to design the DNA screw in Figure D1. It consists of three parts; a cylinder, a ring, and DNA spiders. Both cylinder and ring are made of DNA origami. A cylinder and a ring were made in one scaffold to avoid the electrostatic interaction which would cause them to keep away from each other. With our design, the cylinder and the ring stay keeping some distance and will have more possibility to connect to each other. However, with this condition, four difficulties exist. First, making the ring and cylinder within 7250 mer. Second, finding an enzyme to cut the ring and cylinder. Third, finding a cylinder and a ring with a compatible size in diameter. Fourth, a proper design which allows putting anchors in an appropriate interval. With careful selection, designs of a cylinder and a ring solving these problems were adopted. The structure of the cylinder and the ring were designed based on two papers[1][2].
With the scaffold, the cylinder has tracks made of unpaired staples on its surface. The ring also has unpaired staples to connect to the spiders. The spiders consist of a tetrameric streptavidin bound to 4 biotinylated ssDNA: 3 walking legs and one CL-H strand. The DNA spider was designed based on this paper[3]. From the surface of the cylinder, 10mer long DNA strands, called anchors, are jutting out and are hybridized with footing DNAs. Two DNA spiders, which have legs made of DNAzyme, advance by cleaving the footings. Those spiders are set in the opposite positions on the surface of the cylinder.
How to construct the DNA screw
Design of Cylinder
Some articles describing cylinder's designing methods were carefully read and the methods were tried with cadnano. Finally the following method was adopted; a rectangle, which is made of a scaffold and staples, are formed into a cylinder shape. This method has two advantages. This cylinder's design is rigid as well as flexible in designing. In addition, the yield is quite high (i.e.88%). However, it is not possible to designate which surface becomes the front surface. Anchors can come up from the back surface in this method. Also There is no separating it from the cylinder in which anchors grow up from the front surface.
The cylinder is put in the center of the DNA screw as an axis supporting the rotation. A rectangular DNA Origami (140 staples and a M13mp18 scaffold) is bent into the cylindrical shape. The two sides of the rectangular origami are connected by staples. The diameter of the cylinder is 30.5 nm and the axial length 43.5 nm. The design was constructed using cadnano[4]. To identify the start and the end of anchors, one side of the cylinder projects out and it was defined as the end side as shown in Figure D2. Not modified side is the start side. In order to bind footing DNAs on its surface spirally, 10mer long DNA strands, anchors, are jutting out from the cylinder's surface. The anchors are designed for the 5' ends of the staples to be the anchors' tips.
Design of Ring
A winding helical pattern was adopted as a ring's part of cylinder-ring structure. The reason of adopting it is that it is small enough for the cylinder and the ring to be designed within 7250 mer of M13mp18. Moreover, because there is no crossover, it is easy to grow anchors. This designing method is not clearly written in the original paper[2] so it required particular conditions to duplicate.
The ring is also composed of DNA Origami and designed using cadnano[4]. A scaffold winds in a spiral shape as shown in Figure D3. There are four loops in the ring and neighboring loops are connected by staples as these loops are as close as possible. The diameter of the ring is 61.8 nm and the thickness of ring is 12.0 nm in consideration of Atomic Force Microscope visibility. Two 10mer long strands come up from the inner side of the ring and are connected to the DNA spiders.
Design of DNA spider
The DNA screw rotates by using DNA spiders. Our DNA spider consists of a streptavidin tetramer body and biotinylated ssDNA as legs. There are two kinds of legs : the first is walking leg and the second is a CL-H strand (Figure D4). The CL-H strand has two parts; capture leg(CL) part and head strand(H strand) part. A biotin is fixed in the middle of the CL-H strand and attached to the DNA spider's body. This is the part that was modified from the one in the original paper[3]. The sequences of those strands are listed here. The capture leg has a function of connecting the DNA spider to the specific strand at the start point on the cylinder. Head strand connects the DNA spider to the Ring. Walking legs make the DNA spider move forward and this function is described in Figure D5. The cohesion of the spider relies on the strong streptavidin/biotin interaction. The DNA spider with one CL-H strand and there walking legs are planned to be purified with electrophoresis。
Motion of The DNA Screw
The function of DNA spider
DNA spider with one CL-H strand, and three walking legs, is the core of the rotary function. A DNA spider's walking leg consists of 8-17DNAzyme. The spider advances by cleaving common footings by the walking legs and utilizing Brownian motion. The sequence of the common footings is designed as they hybridizes with walking legs. The process is described in the Figure D5. First the tip of the common footing is cleaved away by a walking leg. Second the partially cleaved common footing and the walking leg move by Brownian motion and one time walking leg hybridizes with a tip of next common footing. Finally, the walking leg dissociates from the last common footing followed by binding to the nearest common footing. This cleaving process occurs again and again, and the spider advances down the track.
How the spider advances on the cylinder's surface
The cylinder is rounded from the rectangle shape.Two DNA spiders are operated on the surface of cylinder so there are two tracks, each of which consists of three lines of the common footings. The distance between the common footings was designed as 10.5nm taking it into account that the interval between the common footings on the same track is short enough for the walking leg to move to next common footing. In addition, the interval between the two tracks, 16.2nm, are wide enough to avoid spiders from jumping to next footing track(Figure D6).
The start point and the end point
In order to make the DNA spider start to advance from the same starting point, the start anchor is jutted out at left end side(Figure D6). This start anchor partially hybridizes with specific strand at the starting point, called a start footing, and then the start footing hybridizes with capture leg in the DNA spider. Also to stop the spider's walk, three end anchors are attached at the end side on each track. The end anchors partially hybridizes with end footings. The sequence of the end footing is slightly different from common footing in that the the end footing uses A instead of rA. These sequences are listed here.
Cutting the scaffold
To make the DNA screw rotate, the ring and the cylinder, both of which are made of the same one scaffold, had to be separated. Here two appropriate enzymes were carefully selected considering the temperature, content of buffer, and other factors; BbvCI and SbfI. Both enzymes were incubated at 37℃.
Overall process
The DNA screw was realized by assembling the above three parts: the cylinder, DNA Spiders, and the ring. The DNA screw was assembled in the following process.
Step 1. The cylinder and the ring were synthesized.
Step 2. The DNA spider was synthesized
Step 3. The cylinder-ring structure, the DNA spider, and the start footing were mixed
Step 4. The common footings and the end footings were mixed with the solution made in the Step 3 and hybridized to the common anchors and the end anchors respectively.
Step 5. The two enzymes were put to cut the scaffold.
Step 6. A trigger strand was put. This is complementary to starting strand, which initiate the spider walking.
Other Designed Structures
Cylinder(1st ver.)
Before we designed the cylinder-ring structure, we made only a cylinder and confirmed that a cylinder designed based on the paper[1] was actually formed. The size is the diameter 38.2nm × the axial length 43.5nm. The interval of anchors of this cylinder was too wide for the DNA spiders to walk.
Ring(1st ver.)&(2nd ver.)
Rings with two other designs, Ring(1st ver.) and Ring(2nd ver.), were designed besides the ring shown in the cylinder-ring structure.
Ring(1st ver.) is a ring formed from a long tape using the same method as the cylinder[1].
The designing approach of Ring(2nd ver.) is that six-helix DNA bundle units, assembled from twelve single stranded DNAs arranged in networks of contiguous and semicrossover strands, are connected into nano rings without scaffold. It was designed based on this paper[5]. The sequences of all the staples but one are the same as those in the original paper. The one is one mer longer than the counterpart in the paper. You can see the sequences from Ring(2nd ver.) sequences. These two rings were tried without being designed with a cylinder in one scaffold.

The Tennessee Titans expect the right hip injury starting quarterback Jake Locker suffered in Sunday's win over the New York Jets could keep him out up to two months, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
Tennessee still awaiting more tests on Jake Locker's injured hip, but belief is he could miss four to eight weeks.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 30, 2013
Locker was hurt when he took a hard hit in the pocket from Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson, followed up by a shoulder-to-shoulder blow from outside linebacker Quinton Coples. According to Schefter, the NFL is considering fining both New York players for their hits.
It was bad enough for Locker to be carried off the field on a stretcher. He was later taken to a local Nashville hospital by ambulance. While waiting the complete test results including an MRI, the Titans learned the initial X-rays were negative, showing no dislocation of the joint that would lead to a season-ending injury.
Locker has guided the Titans to a surprising 3-1 record, and was working on another strong performance, leaving the game after completing 18-of-24 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns. The team turned to veteran backup Ryan Fitzpatrick in relief, and now is prepared to roll with Fitzpatrick for a month or two.
Tennessee has a difficult schedule coming up, with 4-0 Kansas City and 4-0 Seattle in the next two weeks before hosting San Francisco in Week 7.

Padres call up lefty prospect Erlin, option Weber
SAN DIEGO -- To be clear, Padres manager Bud Black never likes calling a player into his office to tell him he's on his way back to the Minor Leagues.
It was different with pitcher Thad Weber, who was sent back to Triple-A Tucson on Wednesday after he tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings of relief, saving the bullpen in a 6-3 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.
"He's got a good perspective on it," Black said. "He understands why he was here in the first place, and why he was sent back."
Needing a fresh reliever for the series finale against the Brewers on Wednesday, the Padres selected left-hander Robbie Erlin from Tucson. Erlin was in uniform before Wednesday's game.
"I'm excited to be here," Erlin said.
Erlin, 22, and right-handed pitcher Joe Wieland were obtained from the Rangers at the 2011 Trade Deadline for reliever Mike Adams.
Erlin was 2-0 with a 4.73 ERA in three starts for Tucson. He pitched five innings in his last start on April 19. He walked seven in 13 1/3 innings with 10 strikeouts and 18 hits allowed. He hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in each of his last two starts.
Erlin said he's done a better job of pitching inside to right-handed batters, which can be a tricky issue for a left-handed pitcher who doesn't rely on plus-velocity.
"You just try to be aggressive with it," Erlin said. "You can't be tentative. You've got to trust it."
If and when Erlin makes an appearance, he'll be the 14th pitcher used by the Padres this season.

PMS 'doesn't exist'
News of the death of pre-menstrual syndrome came as a terrible shock.
It broke late last year. A death squad of Canadian academics did the deed - they published a review of 47 English-language studies of PMS (described as ''Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder'' by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, aka the bible of psychiatry).
For a start, most of the studies did not meet correct scientific criteria, the Canadians said. And of those that did, only 13 per cent reported an association between the pre-menstrual phase and a negative mood. The rest of the literature found either no mood association with any phase, or an association between negative mood and other phases of the cycle together with the pre-menstrual phase.
So the average woman was certainly more likely than not to be peeved, but there was no use pretending it was just a once-a-month thing, like a werewolf enjoying a lunar frolic.
The Canadians concluded there was no clear evidence of the existence of a ''specific pre-menstrual negative mood syndrome'' in the general population. ''This puzzlingly widespread belief needs challenging, as it perpetuates negative concepts linking female reproduction with negative emotionality,'' they wrote.
Lending more weight to the theory that it is all in women's minds, as opposed to their endocrinology, is the realisation that the concept of PMS is primarily a Western one.
According to Jane Ussher, professor of women's health psychology at the University of Western Sydney, there is no similar concept in India, China or Hong Kong. Perhaps Western women invented PMS, or had it invented for us. But instead of feeling liberated (what could be better than having a wrongful diagnosis retracted?), women have not taken well to having their PMS taken away.
As Ussher learnt, nobody wants to be stripped of a biological licence to be pissed off. As Fairfax Media reported just before Christmas, her article on the subject for the academic website The Conversation elicited angry reactions. Her colleagues and readers hated being told what they felt wasn't real. They hated having their experience ''denied''.
It's understandable. PMS allows women to be irritable and snappish. Hell, if a woman is suffering badly enough, she can even get away with being a monstrous bitch for a short window each month. Who wants to give that up? It's like having an emotional get-out clause, an invincibility cloak.
And if women don't have a biological reason to be moody, then they shouldn't get so moody, right? But then, if you can no longer blame biology - the modern, scientific version of destiny - then what are you supposed to do with the gnawing feelings of low-level rage?
If PMS is a myth, then women lose an excuse to be angry - that they're running late, that their partner left the washing up, that they're paid less than their male counterparts, that they carry an unequal load of domestic work, that they're subjected to unacceptable levels of violence, that the female toilet queues at music festivals are ridiculously long, that their haircuts cost more, and that they are expected to pretend the ageing process doesn't apply to them.
Ussher points to the parallels with the Victorian diagnosis of ''hysteria'' - a catch-all ailment that boxed-up women who were anxious, depressed, women who liked sex too much, women who were frigid and any woman who was somehow ''nervous''.
The medicalisation of women's sexuality goes much further back than the Victorians - the Greeks and Romans believed the womb travelled around the female body, a sort of bloodstream-bound hitchhiker-organ - and caused insanity.
But the Victorians were the ones serious about treating women's problems with medical interventions. The 2012 film Hysteria was a (very silly and bad) fictionalised account of a Victorian doctor who ''invented'' the vibrator as a way of inducing ''paroxysm'' to treat nervous disorders blamed on female-ness.
Victorian diagnoses of hysteria fell out of favour with the advent of the discipline of psychology, and also as society liberalised.
Of course, with 21st century eyes, we can see that it is no wonder middle- and upper-class Victorian women were depressed and anxious - they were physically confined to home and expected to adhere to stringent standards of moral behaviour. If they transgressed, the social sanctions were harsh and irreversible.
Perhaps future generations will look back on PMS and revise it in a similar way, within the context of our times. Contemporary women face a great deal of stress as they manage work and family life. Much of it they internalise. It's little wonder they get the grumps from time to time.
Women may have lost the excuse of PMS, but perhaps they have gained a different kind of freedom - to examine the true causes for their anger.
Or just accept it as a normal, non-pathological part of their lives.
Turns out women just have feelings.
No cure available.

Ace lefty Corbin has Tommy John surgery
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs left-hander Patrick Corbin underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday in Pensacola, Fla.
Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery to repair a partial tear of Corbin's ulnar collateral ligament. The recovery time for the surgery is typically 12-18 months, though it varies by player.
"It's a long road back, but I'm sure [Corbin will] do everything he can in his power," D-backs bench coach Alan Trammell said.
Corbin had a breakout year in 2013, going 14-8 with a 3.41 ERA and earning a spot on the National League All-Star team.
I want to thank Dr. James Andrews & staff for a successful surgery & great treatment. Thanks to my family, friends, & fans for the support ??p>
- Patrick Corbin (@PatrickCorbin11) March 26, 2014
The D-backs were counting on Corbin to be their ace this year. He was scheduled to start last Saturday's regular-season opener against the Dodgers, but he sustained the elbow injury March 15 during his final Spring Training start.
D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said last week that the competition to replace Corbin in the rotation was likely down to prospect Archie Bradley and Randall Delgado.
"It's an opportunity for somebody to step up," Trammell said. "And hopefully that happens. Often that's how careers get started. I don't know who that guy is right now, but we'll see."

TFT display with Rotary Selection
With the One-Touch Cappuccino/Latte macchiato function, you can prepare speciality coffees topped with milk and milk foam at simply the touch of a button. Thanks to the height-adjustable spout, the function can be used with both small designer cups as well as cups or glasses with a height of up to 6 inches. The new fine foam technology creates milk foam with a fine, feather-light consistency. A 3.5 inch TFT colour display is the key to the machines intuitive operating concept.

Fine foam technology
The ultra-modern frother technology prepares milk foam of unprecedented quality. The foam is both fine and compact, giving it a creamy consistency with a subtle sweetness.
The frothers have two separate chambers in which the milk is frothed twice. Any bubbles that form will burst, compacting the foam and making it extremely fine. Three bars in the frother spout slow down the foam as it exits the frother, so it is poured slowly and evenly into the cup. The 20oz Stainless Steel Milk Container is included! Everything you need to get started, right in the box. aLatteHotte also provides the Jura Cool Control Automatic Milk Cooling System (See Included items below) this means you have 1 20oz Milk Container that ships in the box with the Jura XJ9 and an Extra 20 oz Milk Container that ships with the Cool Control Accessory.

aLatteHotte Includes the following accessories with the Jura XJ9: Jura Cool Control Premium Make sure that your milk always stays cool as well. With the non-wearing and CFC-free Peltier cooling, the Cool Control from JURA is able to cool milk to 25°C below the ambient temperature. Once a temperature of 4°C has been reached, the intelligent device then keeps the milk in the optimum temperature range this not only prevents the milk from accidentally freezing, but also helps to save energy. The high-quality stainless steel container with a capacity of more than one litre can be easily removed, refilled, cleaned or stored in the refrigerator if necessary. The little Cool Control is not only functionally appealing - its typical JURA design also rounds off the machine optically.
Jura Clearyl Water Filter for XJ9 The Clearyl Water Care Cartridge is an important part of the cleaning process for your Jura-Capresso XJ9 Automatic Coffee Machines and Espresso Center. It removes chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper for a better tasting coffee. A special organic additive removes almost all carbon and practically eliminates decalcifying. Each cartridge filters 60 liters of water.
Jura Coffee Cleaning Cycle Tablets Designed for use with all Capresso and Jura-Capresso automatic coffee centers, this pack of six specially formulated cleaning tablets removes inner oil build-up. The machine's display will indicate when it's time to run a cleaning cycle (after every 200 cups of coffee), and it only requires one tablet each time. Simply drop a tablet into the bypass doser and run the cleaning cycle. Using the tablets as directed in the instruction manual and on the machine's display makes the 15-minute automated process foolproof.

USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories has detected porcine epidemic diarrhea (PEDV), a virus associated with outbreaks of diarrhea and vomiting, in the Iowa hog population, a USDA spokesman said on Friday.
The virus is not a food safety concern and does not affect humans, the spokesman said.
Officials with USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) held a call with livestock industry representatives on Friday to discuss the situation. It was not immediately clear how widespread the incidence of PEDV is at this point.
There are currently no interstate trade restrictions related to PEDV for U.S. hogs and pigs.
Hog futures in Chicago fell sharply on Friday as rumors swirled that the disease had been detected in Iowa and Minnesota. USDA so far has only confirmed detection of PEDV in Iowa.
PEDV exists in many parts of the world, including England, much of Europe, China, Taiwan and South Korea, according to Iowa State University. It closely resembles transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) in swine. (Reporting By Ros Krasny; Editing by Chris Reese)

I have a preferred scenario in the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), but that does not mean it will play out. I can be wrong, but the good news is that my risk is defined by the Fibonacci numbers and ratios.
I was looking for a possible low to develop around Dec. 19. We are at an important crossroads in this market since then. GLD ended up making a low on Dec. 20, just $0.10 above a key Fibonacci price cluster zone at the 157.54-158.29 area (actual low 158.39). This price cluster developed within the context of a two-step pattern. The cluster zone included a 0.618 retracement of the May 30 low to Oct. 4 high, a 100% projection of the first swing down of the zigzag pattern (Oct. 4 high to the Nov. 2 low projected from the Nov. 23 high) along with a 1.618 extension of the Nov. 2 low to the Nov. 23 high.
Not only did we have the price cluster information, we also had time symmetry at that last low. Notice that the first swing down into the Nov. 2 low lasted 19 trading days, which was equal to the 19 trading day swing into the Dec. 20 low. The price of those swings down was also similar. The first swing was 11.77; the second one was 11.62.
So, we made a low at key time/price parameters on Dec. 20 in GLD. A nice rally followed initially but then faltered. Since then, we have been torn between two clusters. If my preferred scenario is going to play out, I need to see price continue to hold above the Dec. 20 low, and eventually clear the resistance that we are currently up against. The resistance comes in with a wide zone between the 164.38-166.23 area. This can be broken down into two zones, the 164.38-164.63 and 165.57-166.23. If these resistance decisions are removed, odds of a continued rally towards the 178 handle increase nicely, and there is a chance for this scenario to play out fully. A failure to clear this same key resistance gets me to consider the alternate scenario instead. For example, if we see a sell trigger after a failure to clear this resistance, traders can look for a decline with a possible target below at the 156.76 area.
Stay nimble in these markets and be willing to admit when you're wrong. Let's see what GLD does against these key price decisions and trade accordingly.

INDIANAPOLIS | Drivers always say there's something magical about Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the opportunity for NASCAR to race there opened the door for one of Jeff Gordon's most treasured victories.
It was a race Tony Stewart initially opposed.
Stewart, a die-hard open-wheel driver at the time of the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994, was one of the many IMS loyalists who firmly believed NASCAR did not belong on the hallowed grounds of the speedway. The Indiana native had grown up dreaming of one day winning the Indy 500. Until 1994, it was the only big race.
"I was one of them that absolutely thought it was a crime," Stewart said. "I'm a purist. I'm old school. It's always been sacred ground to me."
He wasn't in Indy when NASCAR made his debut, and had to watch the race later on a replay.
Stewart's mind was instantly changed.
"There were other people that I knew that were dead against it that went just to see what it was going to be like, and they came back and felt the same way," he said. "I think everybody changed their mind and their opinion after they saw that first one."
The 20th anniversary of NASCAR's first race at Indy is Sunday, when Gordon will go for his fifth Brickyard win.
A California native, Gordon moved to Indiana before high school to race around the Midwest. Like Stewart, he was enamored with Indy but his path into NASCAR made him believe he'd never get a shot to race at the speedway, which has been home to the Indy 500 since 1911.
Then the speedway opened its gates to NASCAR, and a 23-year-old Gordon won the inaugural event. It was only his second career victory, but remains one of the biggest in a career of 89 wins and four championships.
"My love for Indianapolis and the Indianapolis 500 goes way back to when I was racing in California, and I was racing open wheel cars on an oval," he said. "Sprint cars were what I looked up to and what I loved to watch as a kid. The drivers were my heroes. The (Indy 500) was one that I always put on the calendar that I was going to watch. I always wanted to race there, and to get that opportunity, especially an opportunity to win, it just is a way to live out a childhood dream."
Gordon also won the Brickyard in 1998, 2001 and 2004. Jimmie Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, tied his mark with wins in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2012.
Gordon recalled the excitement surrounding his first race at Indy, which sold out in less than 24 hours after the ticket office opened.
"Most of the things that stand out to me was really about just the madness and craziness of how big that event was, how popular it was among fans, not just traditional NASCAR fans but new fans to the sport," Gordon said. "So many fans and you just couldn't walk anywhere without getting mobbed. That just showed you the impact and significance of that inaugural event."
Stewart, a two-time Brickyard winner, never got his victory in the Indianapolis 500. But he treasures his two NASCAR wins and looks forward to returning to his home track every year. He won the race as Ryan Newman's car owner last year.
"When you grow up 45 minutes from Indy — that is sacred ground to me. It always has been, always will be," Stewart said. "I don't care how many times you win there, it's never enough."

Former Congressman Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.) is the host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the show Time Magazine calls "revolutionary" and The New York Times ranked as the top news program of 2008. In April 2011, Scarborough was named to the prestigious "Time 100" list of the world's most influential people. In describing why he was selected, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, "Joe speaks from his mind without fear of favor, before he puts his country before his party…That independence makes Joe Scarborough such a valuable voice in American politics. And it's what makes Morning Joe such a successful show."
Along with co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist, Morning Joe features interviews with top newsmakers and in-depth analysis of the day's biggest stories. The unique broadcast has been called "the thinking viewer's choice" by USA Weekend and called "an important wake-up call for political and media leaders" by the Associated Press.
Previously, Joe hosted "Scarborough Country" on MSNBC, a primetime news show the San Francisco Chronicle called "must-see TV."
In addition to his career in television Scarborough is also the author of the New York Times bestseller "The Last Best Hope: Restoring Conservatism and America's Promise," a book that draws on the forgotten genius of conservatism to offer a road map for the movement and the country. Delivering a searing indictment of the political leaders who have led us astray, Scarborough inspires conservatives to reclaim their heritage by drawing upon the strength of the movement's rich history. His 2004 book "Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day" predicted the collapse of the Republican majority and US economy due to his party's reckless spending.
Prior to his career in television, Joe was the publisher and editor of the award-winning newspaper The Florida Sun.
Joe served as a member of Congress from 1994-2001. While in office, he was a member of the Judiciary, Armed Services, Oversight and National Security committees. He was a part of a small group of you Republican congressmen who National Journal said possessed a surprising amount of power given their youth and lack of years in Congress.

"When I was nine years old I burned down my school."
James Carr started fighting when he was very young, and never gave up. A child prodigy of crime in the streets of the L.A. ghettos and scourge of half a dozen boys' homes, his career in armed robbery was quickly cut short by arrest. In prison he fought harder than ever, and became one of the most notorious rebels in the seething California Penal System. Linking up with George Jackson in Folsom, they led the notorious Wolf Pack, which quickly fought its way to a position of strength in the prison race war. Separated from George, Jimmy transformed himself from an openly rebellious con into a cunning thinker who manipulated the authorities and ultimately engineered his own release. Carr relates the story of his life with a cold passion, powerfully illuminating the horrors of daily life on the streets and in prison - race riots, murders, rape, and corruption - from the standpoint of one who has overcome them.
"I've been struggling all my life to get beyond the choice of living on my knees or dying on my feet. It's time we lived on our feet."
from the text.
"Jimmy was the baddest motherf----r!"
George Jackson
While initially having close ties with the Black Panthers (at one point as Huey Newton's bodyguard), James Carr, influenced by the Situationists, broke with them. Just after this book was completed in 1972, Carr was gunned down in a "gangland style" murder.

"Uncensored HIstory of an Observant "Bad Guy""
James Carr may not have been the world's most famous criminal, but he wrote one of the most memorable prison memoirs of the Boomer generation.
Incarcerated and "working" during the 50s-60s, Carr came up in the Prison system during the time of Attica, the Panthers, and race riots--that up-ended even his cloistered community.
Remarkable, unsparing, uncensored history of an observant "bad guy" whose collaborating writer on the outside really know how to make it click.
The narrative is downright harrowing, and it's chilling when, in the introduction, Isaac Cronin points out that little has changed in the California prison system, except that there is no longer very much of a prison reform movement.
BAD is still referred to by those who make a study of prison memoirs.
Story seemed to jump around to much for me sorry.
he didn't
it ws ok
Narrator was very good just storyline jumped around.

Detailed Description:
Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD) is the late onset phenotype for Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency, a Lysosomal Storage Disorder, which also has an early onset phenotype known as Wolman Disease that primarily affects infants. CESD can present in childhood but often goes unrecognized until adulthood when the underlying pathology is advanced. Many of the signs and symptoms are common to patients with other liver conditions.
CESD is an autosomal recessive genetic condition and is characterized by hepatomegaly, persistently abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) and type II hyperlipidemia. Splenomegaly and evidence of mild hypersplenism may affect some patients. Untreated, CESD may lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure and death.
Disease Risk In Families:
- 25 per million incidence
- Autosomal recessive disorder, LAL deficiency is carried on chromosome 10
- Parents with an affected son or daughter have a 1 in 4 chance of having another affected child
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female patients ≥ 18 and ≤ 65 years of age

'30 Rock' Season 7: Matthew Broderick's "Cooter" Returns!
While '30 Rock' gears up for its final 13 episodes on NBC, don't make the mistake of believing that a half-season means any less room for both new, and familiar faces to drop and send the acclaimed NBC meta-comedy off! One of its many celebrity guest stars over the years, Matthew Broderick's downtrodden government employee Cooter Burger hasn't been seen since the show's second season, but will make a return at last! What new position might we see Mattthew Broderick in, and what does it mean for Jack?

India's Defense Research Development Organization (DRDO) has confirmed that it has abandoned plans to jointly develop and produce the Kaveri military aircraft engine solely with France's Snecma. The change in plan has come after India ordered 99 of General Electric's F-414 engines—in preference to the Eurojet 2000 engine—for its indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Mark II program, for which the Kaveri is supposed to be an alternative powerplant. "We still need an overseas partner, but it will not be Snecma on a single-vendor basis," CP Ramnarayanan, director of the DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) recently told Indian reporters. "We will select our partner through competitive bidding."
A DRDO official told AIN on condition of anonymity that if the Kaveri partnership is retendered the contenders will be Snecma and Russia's Saturn. "Today's [engine] technology requires the same weight ratio to have much more power with low maintenance costs. The Russian philosophy is to make it cheaper and let maintenance be somebody else's headache," he commented.
However, some analysts have described the decision as a wise one given that GTRE will already get some access to technology for Snecma's M88 engine that powers Dassault Aviation's Rafale multirole fighter that India has selected. From an Indian perspective, this lessened the case for cooperating with Snecma on the Kaveri engine. However, according to a government defense official speaking on condition of anonymity, India will have to wait much longer for crystal blade technology, metallurgy and a full understanding of the hot section under the terms of its existing transfer of technology agreement.
What remains to be seen is whether India may now pursue an alternative Russian-led option for developing the Kaveri engine. In 2010, Russia's Central Institute for Aviation Motors (TsIAM) conducted flight testing of a Kaveri turbofan on an Ilyushin Il-76 test bed. This research into how to achieve the desired performance was presented to the Indians, who in theory could now opt to reconsider a Russian partnership for the program.

The Kaveri Engine project started in 1986. The government has been throwing good money over bad for almost 3 decades. What have we got to show for it? Are our scientists incompetent, or is there too much interference from the politicians? We need to master crystal blade technology soon. If Russians have it why not get it from them at a much lower cost? Put strong project managers and QA managers on the project. Make people responsible for meeting deadlines. We cannot keep missing one deadline after another, delaying projects by years, even decades.
This is shameful. The next generation has to take charge and kick out people who got employment in places like HAL, NAL, DRDO only because they knew someone in the company or because they bribed a minister or a bureaucrat. About time we took people purely based on education, skills, and, where applicable, prior accomplishments.
Incompetence, lethargy and corruption have plagued the country for way too long.

The single crystal blade technology has been mastered only by few countries and they have been developing engines for a way longer time period. Actually the kaveri has already achieved its target of 81 kn wet thrust and 52 kn dry thrust. The problem is lca went overweight because iaf changed the ASR as late as 2006. Nobody will give india the crystal blade tech. That's why the JV with snecma fell apart. They wanted to use the same M88 eco core with us developing only the other parts which meant no gain in technology. Developing such critical tech has to be done us ourselves and takes time to mature. Our scientists are definitely not incompetent. We were non existent in jet engine tech earlier. We have leapfrogged from 1950's tech to that of late 2000's. The kaveri is actually better than the RD-33 used on mig 29. We have a actually got a working engine which can be used in case of unexpected turn of events. Even china is not too far ahead in this field. It will be a long time before kaveri is operationalized and we have some work left but we are surely getting there!!

Further kaveri development to modify its fan to impouve performance can be taken up with Russians immediately without further dalay as they are already in the partnership for design consultancy and flight test for Kaveri. Once Flight test second phase is successfuley completed and reliability of engine is proven it can be integrated with LCA Tejas for furthjer triels and suitability for airforce applications. If found acceptable to IAF a limited series production of Kaveri and LCA-Kaveri variant can start.

We have already been on the path for getting foreign help, and it feels like million years gone and million help taken. Instead of wasting time and money on foreign help, get a list of task to be done, and get private consultants to work on it. Ensure, some neat investment plan is made where DRDO scientists as consultants are paid well, and get this done. This turbine industry is lagging in India, and needs a lot of help. We need to pool in talents from wide cross section, and this is entirely doable in India. GTRE needs to be reorganized and better heads are in place to ensure this happens in time.
More money need for engine flight testing similar to the ones Grumov has or GE/PW has. Phased development plan is required, and we need to get this Kaveri on one of the LCAs as the need of the hour. Without LCA taking Kaveri, there is no future for it.

It has made to be fail . Just compare bypass ratio with any jet engine. For bypass ratio u dont need special tech . Kaveri engine bypass ratio is .16 & any other jet engine like rd93 has .49 . Gtre and drdo making india fool.

BLACKBURN Rovers boss Gary Bowyer believes his side can spring a surprise and end table-topping Leicester's 16-match unbeaten run tomorrow.
Bowyer has hailed Nigel Pearson's men as the 'most complete team in the Championship' ahead of the big Ewood Park encounter.
But he has backed Rovers to have a 'right good go' at becoming the first side to claim their scalp since they went down 3-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion on December 7.
Bowyer said: "It's going to be a great test for us and one we're really looking forward to. They are the most complete team in the Championship.
"But that is not going to stop us from having a right good go at them.
"It's an opportunity to test ourselves against the best – and they are the best.
"They've got two top strikers in David Nugent and Jamie Vardy, they've got quality out wide in their two French lads and Lloyd Dyer, they've got top midfielders in Matty James and Danny Drinkwater, who has been fantastic this season, and they've got a goalkeeper who launches attacks with the missiles he throws down your throat and a back-four that is solid."
Bowyer is equally as glowing about Leicester's manager Pearson.
He reckons the 50-year-old deserves massive praise for turning the Foxes from a mid-table outfit with an inflated wage bill into one that is on the verge of sealing promotion back to the Premier League – a task Bowyer is trying to emulate at Rovers.
"Nigel Pearson is a top bloke and I'm delighted for him," said Bowyer.
"I know him well, as I did my coaching badges with him back in 1999-2000, and I think he's proof of what stability brings you.
"I think this is his third season there, he's had to contend with Financial Fair Play this season and players being out of contract, but he hasn't let that distract him, he's just got on with the job of building a very good team."
Rovers will be boosted by the return of Josh King from injury tomorrow after the winger sat out the last six matches with a hamstring problem.
Bowyer is hopeful that midfielder Jason Lowe and striker Rudy Gestede will recover from the knocks they sustained in last Saturday's 4-2 win at Huddersfield Town – while Grant Hanley could also come into consideration.
Bowyer said: "Grant Hanley is doing ever so well, so he might be in contention, Jason Lowe should be in contention, and Rudy, after being groggy at the start of the week, has trained and looked fine, so we're hopeful."
But tomorrow's clash will too soon for Tom Cairney and fellow midfielder Dickson Etuhu.
