This paper describes a high power density high-temperature superconducting (HTS) electric machine topology that is scalable for marine propulsion and power generation. The design, currently being pursued for airborne applications, is based on homopolar inductor alternator (HIA) technology, which is new within HTS applications. The basic machine design configuration of the HTS HIA is based on a stationary HTS field excitation coil, a solid rotor, and an advanced but conventional stator comprising liquid-cooled air-gap armature winding and an advanced iron core. High power density is obtained by the enhanced magneto-motive force capability of the HTS coil, the increased airgap flux density and armature current loading, and the high tip velocity of the rotor. Preliminary scaled up designs look attractive for three marine applications: propulsion drive, primary ship power generation, and power generation modules. The generators are driven directly by the turbines without the additional complexity of a clutch and gear system. A conceptual design study of a 36-MW 3600-r/min generator, a 4-MW 7000-r/min auxiliary generator, and a 36-MW 120-r/min and 4-MW 132-r/min propulsion motor are summarized.

4th of July Fantasy (Erotic Fiction)
posted 11/15/2010 12:22:25 AM |
what's this?
report abuse
So I know its well past fourth of July. But its starting to get cold now, and don't get me wrong I love being able to cuddle up next to a warm body, two forms entertwined perfectly together warming each other. But there is something about the summer, and particularly 4th of July that enticing and erotic. I wrote this story for an ADM member here who I chatted with for a quite for a while, but would never reveal to me what she looked like. Now I know all you skeptics are probably thinking the worst in that scenario, because how could I possibly know who I am talking to without a picture. Well there was something about this woman that made me KNOW without doubt she is a gorgeous, perfectly formed goddess, and though I was never able to fulfill my fantasy, or for that matter any of my many fantasies with her. I do dedicate this story to her and to all the gorgeous woman that are to shy or afraid to reveal their gorgeous figure and of course kindly plead for you to reconsider (at least with me
)...(Please remember to look into the comments section of the blog for the rest of the story since it will get cut off...ENJOY!)
I lay there, staring up as the grand finale of the 4th of July fireworks show was illuminating the sky, I wasn't quite sure why but I had always found firework shows oddly romantic. I was alone, and while I enjoyed my solitude from time to time, as I lay there in the boat watching the dozens of other boats filled with people and joyous laughter dissipate from the area at the close of the fireworks show, I couldn't help but feel lonely. I could hardly remember the last time I enjoyed the company of a woman, let alone on a night as perfect as this. My mind wandered a bit as it tends to probably to often and as I felt my dick start to grow a little, I sighed myself back to reality realizing it was only a dream. I must have been sitting there a while; cause before I knew it the area was once again pitch black and dead quiet. I stared into the distance as the last hint of light from the final boat other then my own pulled into the barely visible marina just across the lake and killed his lights. How odd it was for it to be so dark, even the moon was nowhere to be seen, and an eerie yet inviting mist had rolled in low just over the water, making it almost impossible to even see my hand right in front of my face, the millions of pin point sized white lights that were stars the only thing visible to the human eye, even the boat which I was now standing on and the gentle waves of the water slowly rocking the boat were nearly invisible to me. I stood up, and walked towards the boats ignition sighing at how I would now have to return, once again, alone, to my RV at the marina campground. I reached down to turn on my lights, but just as my hand touched the switch I heard a splash. I paused for a second, listening, when several seconds past and the nothing but silenced filled the air I once again reached down to turn on my lights, but again, just as my hand touched the switch, I heard it again, this time louder and somewhat closer. It was certainly not a fish, but all the boats had gone and there should have been no people anywhere near, but the mystery of what it might be, of what it could be had once again awakened my softening cock. I walked to the side of the boat and peered out in the direction from which it came, but it was so dark I could see absolutely nothing. When I heard it a third time, I knew something was odd. Since I was already in my swimming trunks and the night air was strangely hot, curiosity got the better of me and I dove into the water with a splash, and as I emerged the silence of the night had been broken by the calls of a female voice. It was soft and while normally it was sight and touch that got me going, the voice was strangely arousing, and for a moment I was so lost in this mysterious voice I almost forgot where I was. After calling back to the voice I started to once again to hear the splashing, it was clearly coming closer, each splash in the water louder and clearer. I climbed back onto the boat, and despite the rather hot weather the night breeze that had rolled in the fog combined with the water that now covered my body made me shiver, but I hardly noticed, I was focused on this alluring voice and the anticipation as the splashing got closer made my cock grow even harder. The swimming trunks I was wearing, now wet from my dive into the water clung tightly against my skin, letting me feel every pulse and movement of my cock even more intensely. By the time I felt the boat move from the mysterious woman climbing up the ladder I was incredibly hard. I squinted trying desperately to see the figure that was 10 feet or less from my face, but I could see absolutely nothing. Trying so desperately to see the figure, I failed to realize she was still moving towards me, and without any warning I felt her full weight tumble into me as she stumbled unable to see into the boat. Despite being caught off guard, I managed to maintain my balance. I expected her to push off and re-steady herself, but she didn't, she just kind of lingered there in my arms. She was shivering, and I realized my mind was so distracted I had failed to realize the rather large temperature shift and how cold the night had gotten despite it being the middle of summer. I had no idea how long she had been in the water, and while I probably could have asked I instead instinctually pulled her closer, innocently trying to warm her body with my body heat completely forgetting my now pulsing cock pointing straight out, my own still wet swimming trunks clung tightly against it. I blushed deeply; glad she could not see my face as her body language made it clear she had noticed how hard I was. I felt her hand against my chest, and in spite of the fact she was clearly cold her palm was unusually warm against my skin. As her hand reached my waste my whole body tightened a little along with my cock, pulsing it grew even harder and longer.
As her hand slid inside the waste line of my trunks even the rush of air made me quiver. I felt her hand wrap around my cock, starting with the base and sliding slowly to the head squeezing only lightly, as if measuring me. As her hand reached the head of my cock, I squirmed a little as it pulsated as if begging for more attention, but it got none. I could feel her hand slide slowly back out of my pants after only one gently stroke, taking great care in making sure her palm remains firmly somewhere on my body at all times. I pulled her closer to me, and while I still could not see her, she was now close enough for me to feel her hot breath; her warm hand now joined by her other rubbing my body. I return the favor; unable to see her I let my hands be my eyes, caressing every inch of her body. As my hands reach around her back, my cock beats even harder as I remove her top, the area so quiet I can hear th

the area so quiet I can hear the fabric hit the floor. Etching her perfect form into my mind, memorizing her body like a map as my hands explore her body. I let my hands linger slightly on her hot spots gauged only by the increase in tempo of her hot breath on my neck, and the almost inaudibly quiet moans emerging from her lips. As my hand reaches her waste my whole body quivers a little, for a split second my legs grow weak and I almost fall as my cock vibrates, realizing she is already completely naked. I let my hands run her thigh, gently squeezing her butt in both hands as I reach around her. As I run my hands back around, I let my pace slow, lingering for a long time just before I reach her inner thigh. After what seems like forever I let my hands slide into her inner thigh I feel her palms stop moving along my body, it was as if time stopped and she just waited in anticipation. With one finger only, as if teasing her, I slowly course her inner thigh, brushing up against her pussy lips but applying no pressure. Her hot breath once again quickens on my neck. I let only one finger slide inside her pussy, she is already wet and it is clear what she wants, but I tease her a little, making her wait. I feel her breath quicken even more; the shot of hot air on my neck is almost in exact rhythm with the pulsing of my cock. I slide out my finger, amazed at how tight she had squeezed only one small finger. I slid my finger into my mouth, tasting the sweetness of her juices, my sense of taste also intensified by the lack of sight. I feel her hands once again start to move along my body just as my finger slides out from her lower lips, I feel her hot breath moving down with her hands, she breaths heavily onto my upper chest, then my lower chest, then my stomach as she slides her whole body lower. Her breath lingers for a while on my stomach as her hands work off my trunks, pulling them off and exposing me. She slides down a little more until I can feel her hot breath on my cock. Her face is within inches of my raging hard-on but other then her hot breath she does not touch me. I feel her breath blow against the head my cock and again I quiver, my cock pulsing as if trying desperately to grow just a little longer and reach the waiting mouth. But she moves, her hot breath running along the shaft of my cock all the way to my balls, where she stops for only a moment before breathing back along my shaft towards the head of my waiting cock. She stops again at the head, and as I breathe heavily it takes all I have not to cum. The teasing is almost too much and my pulsing cock, but I fight the urge, wait patiently for her to stand back up as if the teasing was some sort of game, fully prepared to get her back, to win, to bring her to the point of ecstasy only to stop just short of her climax. But little did I know, the game was already over, and as I felt her mouth wrap around my cock and take me all the way to the hilt in one quick motion, I realized she had won. I felt her tongue roll around inside her mouth as she circled the shaft of my cock, running her tongue from my balls to the head, as if trying to siphon the cum from cock. As I got closer and closer to giving in, I could feel her breath quicken even faster, and even as her mouth encompassed the entirety of vivacious cock the muffled moans were unmistakable, and I quickly realized that she was becoming even more aroused and closer to climax from just the stimulation of my cock in her mouth. Grabbing her head I pulled her back, forcing her mouth of my cock, her lips tightened around my member as if trying to hold despite the resistance, and as her lips slid off the head of my cock I felt her tongue lash out for a final flick on the head of my cock, almost sending me over the edge. My body quivered again; only this time as my legs grew weak I let myself slide to the floor, her under me. I knew I was close and I wasted no time, I plunged myself inside her, using the leverage of being on top of her to force myself all the way in.
She was unbelievably tight and her gentle whimpers of pleasure quickly became shrill moans, as I used my leverage and momentum to push myself into her over and over. I bit my lower lip, unwilling to cum until I felt her climax. It was as if she was testing my limits, and despite feeling her muscles tighten around me with every push, she too refused to give in. I almost couldn't take it anymore, and as it took more and more focus and more and more energy to stop from cumming I began to slow, making hard forceful thrust, slow but deep. Just as I was about to give in her muscles constricted, making it impossible for me to pull out without cumming, so I didn't, I just stayed there buried deep inside her while she squeezed me, as if trying to milk me, her screams of ecstasy pierced the otherwise silent sky. Her breath leveled and her muscled loosened, letting me once again slide freely in her wet pussy. Surprising me once again despite the rather intense orgasm she had just experienced she still had enough energy to spin me over, putting herself on top, and both of us panting but not wanting to quit we continued to push ourselves. She slid off my firm cock leaving me covered in her warm juices and once again exposed to the cold air. Once again I felt her tongue work its way down my body, only this time there was no teasing. I felt her mouth wrap quickly around my cock and I moaned loudly as her tongue worked its magic licking her own juices from my throbbing cock. She was already taking me all into her inviting mouth but still I tried to thrust my hips upward, trying to give her even more. I felt my cock bulge in her mouth, and my body tightened, there was no doubt she realized I had reached my limit and knew I was about to burst, but that did not stop her. With a final thrust of my hips I gave in, letting the hot cum flow from firm cock into her mouth still wrapped tightly around my cock. I collapsed back panting heavily as cum continued to flow, those couple seconds feeling like a lifetime as I felt her tongue lick up every last drop. For several seconds her mouth never moved from my cock, and I just laid in their ecstasy unable to move as her tongue made certain to clean me spotless. I felt her mouth finally slide of my cock as her tongue licked the final drops from the tip, and I just laid there, I was in heaven, I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this goo
Nov 15 @ 12:26AM
, I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this good. The serenity of the night pierced only by the sounds of our heavy breathing. There was no doubt that I had never in my life came that hard, and it shocked even me that even after such perfect pleasure I was still and while I lay there taking deep slow breaths I couldn't help but crave more. And as if reading my mind I once again felt her juices wrap around my still fully erect cock, her pussy wrapped once again tightly around me, as she slid herself up and down along my long shaft, slowly at first but slowly gaining rhythm, as if some how we were regaining energy with every push. Driven purely by lust and pleasure we continued, and I couldn't help but think, somewhere in the very depths of my mind, how true it is that actions speak louder then words, for as the night went on the pleasure was so vast it would be impossible for even words to express. And while I lay they're in total bliss, in absolute heaven, it wasn't a matter of would anyone ever believe me, but rather could I myself even explain what happened. And when I came the 8th time, finally reaching my limit and out of pure exhaustion, not lack of virility, we collapsed into each others arms, sweaty, and breathing so heavily we could feel the heaves in each others chests, and there we laid, in the opposite end of the boat from which we started and falling out of positions even I could not remember how we managed, it didn't take long to collapse into a sleep so deep I was not sure I would ever wake up. And when I finally did, blinking several times as my eyes adjusted to the blazing sun laying naked, and once again alone, on the floor of my boat I still had the indescribable pleasure I had experienced the night before etched into my mind, where it would remain for an eternity. And even though I had never caught so much of a glimpse of the goddess, there was no denying she was the best I had ever and would ever have.
I hope you enjoyed the story. Please don't be shy, tell me what you think. And if you have not already and you liked what you read, take a look at my other blogs.

Valorie Ryder -Practical Battling
Zayne had asked Valorie a question, namely about her ability to control this snivy in battle. Valorie just sort of looked at Thyme with an expression that didn't exactly radiate confidence. Even she knew better than to pretend she could do what she knew she couldn't. "...I don't... know." she replied in a somewhat meek manner after a couple of moments. Normally, she would've tested this theory, however she was still slightly afraid that Thyme would smack her across the face or something painful like that if she started ordering her around. She slouched a bit as if to view Thyme from the pokemon's own eye-height. "...I think she wants something from me, but I'm not sure what." she remarked, slightly frustrated. Apparently she had decided that Thyme was indeed a girl. How she'd done that was anyone's guess. She almost seemed... hesitant to head out for the second part of class with the others.

66 Genre Fiction Magazines for Your Consideration
We recently added 3 new magazines to our list of 66 genre magazines and since they are new to us we thought perhaps you haven't heard of them either. Take a look at the new ones below and be sure to peruse the whole list. If you find something you like you should consider subscribing!
A Magazine of Fantasy, Science Fiction & Everything in Between
Betwixt is a quarterly magazine of eclectic speculative fiction published in January, April, July, and October. Betwixt publishes speculative fiction of all sorts—fantasy, science fiction, speculative horror, slipstream, weird fiction, steam/diesel/cyber/etc.punk, you name it. Issues are free to read online and are also available for purchase in electronic and print-on-demand formats.
A Science Fiction Reprint Magazine Edited by Neil Clarke
Forever is a digital-only reprint science fiction magazine published monthly by Wyrm Publishing and edited by Neil Clarke. Each issue will feature a novella, two stories, an editorial, and a short interview with the author of the novella. Subscriptions are available direct from Wyrm and through Amazon and Weightless Books. Individual issues can be purchased from Amazon, Apple, B&N, Weightless Books, and Kobo.
Shoreline of Infinity
A Science Fiction Mmgazine Printed in Scotland for the World.
At Shoreline of Infinity we want stories that explore the uncertain future. We want to play around with the big ideas and the little ones. We want writers to tell us stories to inspire us, give us hope, provide some laughs. Or to scare the stuffing out of us. We want good stories: we want to be entertained, here on the Shoreline.
Clarkesworld: Chinese Science Fiction Translation Project
There's a whole world of great science fiction published in other languages. Help us translate and publish them in Clarkesworld!
I heard about the Clarkesworld KickStarter project on The Coode Street Podcast and was reminded of it by SF Signal this morning. Clarkesworld is seeking funding to make translated fiction a part of every issue going forward. Thev're reached their initial goal already so the Chinese fiction is a go. Now they're stretching out to add fiction from other countries as well so they still need more funds. Check out their Kickstarter page for full details and to pledge!
The Entire SF Masterworks Series Reviewed
We do love our lists on Worlds Without End and I think it is fair to say that the Gollancz SF Masterworks series stands out among the ones we've added so far. You can argue with the selection of course, and many of us probably have, but it is a remarkable series of books, with numerous award winning novels and books that changed the direction of Science Fiction.
In honour of LonCon 3, which was held last month, Peter Young, editor of the electronic fanzine Big Sky launched a project to get reviews, in the widest sense of the word, on each individual title and collect them in a special edition. Well, two special editions. The list was simply too long to contain in one volume.
These books are among the most discussed novels in the genre and this gave him plenty of material to choose from. In fact, I don't really want to think about how much material he had to wade through to make his selection. What he was looking for, in his own words, was this:
Plenty of words have been written about all the titles on the SF Masterworks list. In compiling this fanzine, I probably read thousands of reviews, in magazines, fanzines, websites and blogs. Quickly, a form of mental shorthand was set in place for the kind of reviews I wanted to showcase here. I knew instinctively what I particularly didn't want: the kind of nonanalytical review that fills almost every corner of Goodreads; similarly, at the other extreme, when a reviewer takes pains to come across as exceedingly academic, I just kinda… zoned out.
What I was looking for can be summed up as well-written 'opinion / context / commentary' as opposed to something resembling a 'formal review' template, and something akin to a 'four star' rating rather than a gushing 'five'. And of course, the more original, the better.
The result is a collection of opinion form authors, editors, critics and bloggers in a wide variety of styles. The list of names in the table of content is impressive and among them are several Worlds Without Ends regulars. Peter put in a lot of effort to collect some of the most interesting stuff that is out there. The result is something I highly encourage you to check out.
Both issues (numbers 3 and 4) are available for free download here.
Weird Tales Magazine – Issue No.2 (or 361)
Weird Tales magazine are publishing their 2nd issue since their recent re-launch this Friday. The publisher, film maker and director John Harlacher and editor in chief Marvin Kaye, playwright, author and anthologist, are taking the magazine back to its roots. Each new issue has a mixture of themed and non-themed fiction. This newest issue has "Fairy Tales" as it's theme with fiction by Peter S. Beagle and Tanith Lee and non-fiction by Darrell Schweitzer. Check out the full table of contents for details.
You can pick up issue No.1 (or 360) as an ebook for only $2.99 from their website to get a taste for cheap or you can subscribe for a full year for only $20 which is 30% off the instore cover price. Not bad at all. It's very cool to see an old respected title like this coming back into circulation and it looks like they mean to do things right with this re-launch and are going all out to bring in big name writers so go ahead and take a look and tell your friends too.
Thanks to Doug Draa for the heads-up.
While we're talking about magazines, be sure to take a look at our extensive list of genre literary magazines. With 80 titles to choose from, you're sure to find something of interest.
Horror Magazines
I've been hearing for years that genre magazines are going the way of the Dodo. From where I'm standing, it looks like a pretty healthy market. On our Magazines page we have listed over 70 genre magazines for you to choose from and we keep finding more new ones to add all the time.
For our Month of Horrors I wanted to point out some of the Horror magazines from out list. If you're looking for something creepy and scary these magazines will get the job done. Check 'em out and if you find something you like show your support by subscribing!
Apex Magazine
Apex Publications started as a tingle in the mind of Jason Sizemore during the month of November in the year 2004. Having been a fan of the small press scene for several years, he noticed a lack of a certain type of fiction: Science-Horror.
Black Static
Black Static is a horror magazine that has earned much praise for its style, bravery, editorial and fiction content. Its stories are innovative and daring, never afraid to shock or disturb yet never forget to entertain.
Murky Depths
Murky Depths is a quarterly anthology with a difference. It features top quality speculative fiction with sprinklings of horror and fantasy that push the boundaries of science fiction. Each story is complimented with its own unique artwork.
Mythic Delirium
Mythic Delirium is a biannual journal that publishes science fiction, fantasy, horror, surreal and cross-genre poetry.
Nightmare Magazine
Nightmare is an online horror and dark fantasy magazine. In Nightmare's pages, you will find all kinds of horror fiction, from zombie stories and haunted house tales, to visceral psychological horror. No subject is off-limits, and we will be encouraging our writers to take chances with their fiction and push the envelope.
Nightmare is brand new on the market – their first issue was released October 1st.
Shock Totem
Shock Totem is a bi-annual dark fantasy and horror publication. Our first issue was published in July of 2009. We focus on the one thing that matters most: the story. Back to basics. Each issue features fiction that we, as readers, enjoy. Within our pages, new and established authors are equals.
Something Wicked
Something Wicked is a monthly online and electronic-download science fiction and horror magazine. Published monthly, we feature some of the best new voices in horror and science fiction from around the world.
Tales of the Unanticipated
Tales of the Unanticipated is a journal of speculative fiction, fantasy, horror, and stories that you just wouldn't anticipate. Tales of the Unanticipated is currently published annually.
Weird Tales
Weird Tales was launched to showcase writers trying to publish stories so bizarre and far out, no one else would publish them — stories of unearthly dimensions and dark possibilities, gothic seductresses and cosmic monstrosities.

Scheuermann's disease is a condition characterised by abnormal wedge shaped development of the vertebrae of the upper back with subsequent postural abnormality and excessive curvature (i.e. a 'hunch back' or 'roundback') of the thoracic spine (upper back).
The spine comprises of many bones known as vertebrae. Each vertebra connects with the vertebra above and below via two types of joints: the facet joints on either side of the spine and the discs centrally (figure 1).
Figure 1 Relevant Anatomy for Scheuermann's Disease
Scheuermann's disease is an osteochondrosis of the spine. This means it affects bony growth of the vertebrae (of the upper back) and results in abnormal development of the bones of the spine at their growth plates.
In patients with this condition, one side of the vertebrae (the front) grows more slowly than the back of the vertebrae resulting in a prominent wedge shape of the affected bone with the narrow part of the wedge in front. These changes occur during adolescence at a time of rapid growth and result in an increase in the forward bend of your upper back (i.e. an increased thoracic kyphosis). Whilst Scheuermann's disease primarily affects the vertebrae of the upper back (thoracic spine), it can sometimes also affect the vertebrae of the lower back (lumbar spine).
In addition to wedging of the vertebra, abnormal changes also typically occur at the junction between the vertebra and the disc (i.e. the vertebral end plate). These changes (often seen on X-Ray) are known as Schmorl's nodes and are characterised by protrusion of some of the disc material into the vertebra.
Scheuermann's disease is a self-limiting condition that affects boys more often than girls, with most patients being asymptomatic and unaware that they have the condition. The prevalence of the condition is approximately 4 8% of the general population.
Whilst the cause of Scheuermann's disease is not known, the condition does tend to have slightly increased incidence in some families. Some researchers speculate that the condition may be due to pre-existing weakness in vertebral end plates or due to excessive forces being placed on these areas (such as repetitive, prolonged or forceful lifting or bending forwards activities). Other factors which may potentially contribute to the development of the condition include biomechanical factors such as a shortened sternum, increased height (i.e. patients with Scheuermann's disease tend to be taller than their peers), endocrine disorders and juvenile osteoporosis.
Many patients with this condition experience little or no symptoms with their condition only being discovered in later life. These patients typically present with a postural abnormality that is characterised by an increased forward curvature of the upper back (i.e. increased thoracic kyphosis) and some restriction of movement (particularly backward bending of the thoracic spine) without pain. The postural abnormality associated with this condition is not correctable (i.e. the patient cannot fully straighten up). Other patients with this condition may experience acute upper back pain, achiness and / or stiffness particularly during a period of rapid growth. Symptoms are often mild to moderate and generally are exacerbated with increased physical activity (such as repetitive, prolonged or forceful lifting, slouching, bending forwards activities or contact sports). Postural abnormalities such as an excessive curvature of the upper back (thoracic kyphosis), and possibly a secondary compensatory excessive lumbar lordosis (increased arch in the lower back) are typically evident. Sometimes patients may not experience upper back pain where the postural changes are, but instead may experience neck, shoulder or lower back pain that is actually being caused by the postural changes in the thoracic spine.
An X-ray is usually required to confirm the diagnosis of Scheuermann's disease. If an X-ray demonstrates wedging of 5 degrees or more at three adjacent vertebrae then diagnosis of Scheuermann's disease is made. Other changes associated with the condition may also be present such as Schmorl's Nodes.

For detailed information on physiotherapy treatment of this condition Become a Member.
Scheuermann's disease is a self-limiting condition with any progression of the condition ceasing once the individual reaches skeletal maturity. Most individuals with this condition will have no further problems with their thoracic vertebrae from this time other than some restriction in movement and postural abnormality (i.e. an increased thoracic kyphosis and compensatory lumbar lordosis) which may be present for life. In patients who experience symptoms due to this condition, most patients (who undergo ideal treatment) may be pain free in as little as several days, although typically this may take 2 4 weeks. Care must be taken to slowly return to activity following this period to prevent symptom recurrence. In severe cases or in those patients who do not rest adequately from aggravating activities, symptoms may persist for many months or even years.
For detailed physiotherapy information on other intervention that may be required for this condition Become a Member.
The following exercises are commonly prescribed to patients with this condition. You should discuss the suitability of these exercises with your physiotherapist prior to beginning them. Generally, they should be performed provided they do not cause or increase symptoms.
Your physiotherapist can advise when it is appropriate to begin the 'Initial Exercises' and eventually progress to the 'Intermediate', 'Advanced' and 'Other' exercises. As a general rule, addition of exercises or progression to more advanced exercises should take place provided there is no increase in symptoms.
Begin sitting or standing tall with your back and neck straight. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as far as you can go without pain and provided you feel no more than a mild to moderate stretch (figure 4). Hold for 5 seconds and repeat 10 times provided there is no increase in symptoms. Repeat 5 times daily.
Figure 4 Shoulder Blade Squeezes
Begin sitting or standing tall with your back and neck straight, shoulders should be back slightly. Tuck your chin in until you feel a mild to moderate stretch without pain (figure 5). Keep your eyes and nose facing forwards. Hold for 2 seconds and perform 10 repetitions provided the exercise does not cause or increase symptoms. Repeat 5 times daily.

I'm having a little coding issue in a bioinformatics project I'm working on. Basically, my task is to extract motif sequences from a database and use the information to annotate a sequence alignment file. The alignment file is plain text, so the annotation will not be anything elaborate, at best simply replacing the extracted sequences with asterisks in the alignment file itself.
I have a script which scans the database file, extracts all sequences I need, and writes them to an output file. What I need is, given a query, to read these sequences and match them to their corresponding substrings in the ASCII alignment files. Finally, for every occurrence of a motif sequence (substring of a very large string of characters) I would replace motif sequence XXXXXXX with a sequence of asterisks *.
The code I am using goes like this (11SGLOBULIN is the name of the protein entry in the database):
motif_file = open('/users/myfolder/final motifs_11SGLOBULIN','r')
align_file = open('/Users/myfolder/alignmentfiles/11sglobulin.seqs', 'w+')
finalmotifs = motif_file.readlines()
seqalign = align_file.readlines()
for line in seqalign:
if motif[i] in seqalign: # I have stored all motifs in a list called "motif"
replace(motif, '*****')
But instead of replacing each string with a sequence of asterisks, it deletes the entire file. Can anyone see why this is happening?
I suspect that the problem may lie in the fact that my ASCII file is basically just one very long list of amino acids, and Python cannot know how to replace a particular substring hidden within a very long string.

The Colorado Springs Police Department is looking for a man who allegedly sexually assaulted a 4-year-old child.
In early February, the Colorado Springs Police Department began an investigation into 66-year-old Ronald Reed for allegedly sexually assaulting a 4-year-old child.
An arrest warrant for sexual assault on a child and indecent exposure has been issued for Reed, a resident of Colorado Springs. Police are still looking for Reed. He's described as a white male, 5'8''tall, weighing 160 lbs, with green eyes and gray hair.
If anyone knows where he is they are encouraged to call police at 719-444-7000. If you would like to remain anonymous you can call Crime-stoppers at 719-634-STOP (7867) or you can simply text CSPD and your tip to 847411 (TIP411).

WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy website, has yet to make good on a July pledge to contribute financial aid to the legal- defense fund of a U.S. Army private suspected of leaking classified documents to the site, the fund's director said Tuesday.
"It's a surprise to us that it hasn't happened yet," said Jeff Paterson, project director of Courage to Resist, an Oakland, Calif., group seeking to raise $100,000 toward legal fees for Pfc. Bradley Manning, who was charged five months ago in connection with the leaking of classified material.
Courage to Resist, a war-resisters group, has donated $50,000 to pay the fees of Manning's private attorney, David Coombs. But as of Tuesday, Paterson said, WikiLeaks had not transferred any money to him.

River Edge, NJ: World Scientific (ISBN 981-238-938-5/hbk; 981-256-080-7/pbk). xiii, 360 p. £ 26.00; $ 42.00 pbk; £ 48.00; $ 78.00 hbk (2004). This textbook steers a gentle course through multiplicative analytic number theory. Beginning with arithmetic functions and their summatory functions, it takes the student through the elementary proof of the prime number theorem (PNT), and then to Dirichlet series, the Wiener-Ikehara proof of the PNT, and then to the classical proof, with de la Vallée-Poussin's error term. One then meets characters, Dirichlet $L$-functions, and the PNT for arithmetic progressions, followed by some simple oscillation theorems. The book concludes with two chapters on sieves. There are exercises scattered throughout the book, and end of chapter notes. This book is suitable for beginning graduate students, or possibly even advanced undergraduates.Reviewer: Roger Heath-Brown (Oxford) Cited in 11 Documents MSC:11-01Textbooks (number theory)11MxxAnalytic theory of zeta and $L$-functions11NxxMultiplicative number theory11N37Asymptotic results on arithmetic functions11N36Applications of sieve methods11N05Distribution of primes11M06$\zeta (s)$ and $L(s, \chi)$Keywords:analytic number theory; arithmetic functions; prime number theorem; Riemann zeta-function; sieves BibTeX

On 5 July, KPMG and the four other organizations involved in rescuing the "Île aux Clowns" announced their plans for the organisation's future.
KPMG Luxembourg Société coopérative presents its 2015 Transparency Report, as required by Article 73 of the Luxembourg Law of 18 December 2009 on the audit profession.
A company's externalities have, historically, had little or no impact on its cash flows or risk profile. For this reason, externalities have been largely excluded from the measurement of corporate value.
Sensing an opportunity with the transposition of the AIFMD into national law in July 2013, Luxembourg has had the foresight to build added-value into the legislation by introducing favourable measures for the establishment of fund raising vehicles.
The report takes into account industry data as stated in the 2015 annual reports of the CSSF and the BCL, as well as the ranking data published by the Luxemburger Wort.
The participation exemption is one of the most important features of the Luxembourg tax system. It provides a 100% exemption on dividends and capital gains which stem from equity investments. The brochure explains the rules in detail.
KPMG is pleased to present its updated sixth edition of the Luxembourg Regulated Investment Vehicles brochure, incorporating the recent changes in the legal and regulatory environment.
The AIFMD will have a significant re-shaping effect on the alternative investment fund industry in Europe and beyond.
We seek the facts and provide insights. KPMG Luxembourg organises thought leadership events relevant to the needs of our clients. Find out more about our Events & Seminars below. We are looking forward to meeting you.

Growth seen across all service lines and industries
Bolstered by strategic investments in key service areas, emerging markets and talent recruitment
Michael J. Andrew, Chairman of KPMG International, commented:
"2012 was a year of two distinct halves; with growth strongest at 6.4% in the first six months of the year and relatively weaker growth of 2.1% in the six months to September. Growing our business against such a challenging economic backdrop is testament to the quality of our people and the strength of their relationships with clients."
KPMG recorded increased revenues across all functions with particularly strong growth generated in Financial Services, Industrial Markets and Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare. Advisory revenues grew by 8.3%, to $7.86 billion; Tax revenues grew by 6.3%, to $4.86 billion; and Audit revenues grew by 0.9%, to $10.31 billion.
"The growth in Advisory and Tax underlines the strength of client demand for professional services," said Michael. "On the Audit side, the market has never been more competitive and we are focused on continuing to improve audit quality, as evidenced by our significant investments in our global audit platform that surpassed $50 million, in addition to the $100 million invested over the past several years. KPMG member firms are also actively engaged with their regulators around the world in constructive dialogue, with the goal of continuing to improve audit quality."
At a regional level, the Americas delivered strong growth for the year, with revenues rising by 7%. The Europe, Middle East and Africa region reported increased revenues of 4% across the region, despite the ongoing economic uncertainty caused by the Eurozone crisis. The Asia Pacific region reported revenue growth of 1.1%, reflecting subdued growth in North Asia.
KPMG's commitment to investment in rapidly growing economies was reflected by exceptional annual growth of 20% or more at KPMG firms in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India and Turkey. Revenue growth was also strong in Africa and Indonesia, rising by more than 10% in each area over the last fiscal year. The decision to convert our Chinese member firm from a joint venture to a special general partnership was also a bold step and will enable KPMG's Chinese firm to continue to contribute to the development of the Chinese accounting profession.
"I am proud that our Chinese member firm has grown from 30 employees only 20 years ago to 9,000 partners and staff today, with significant potential for future growth," said Michael. "Opening a new KPMG office in Myanmar last month was a sign of our commitment to helping to rebuild that country's economy, and to playing a leading role in the economic development of the region." KPMG also established member firms in Iraq and Mongolia during the course of the year and now operates in 156 countries. The decision to locate KPMG's chairman in Asia is a further indication of the commitment to the important role of this region in the global economy.
In addition to investing in its global audit platform and emerging markets, KPMG also focused on bolstering advisory and tax services. Michael noted that KPMG "will continue to make acquisitions that will help build market-leading positions and capabilities in key areas that are important to clients, as we have done in shared services and outsourcing advisory and indirect tax compliance services, as well as in procurement and supply chain management, through our recent acquisition of BrainNet. We are making these investments to help provide the highest quality, most innovative services to clients." He added, "I'm confident the investments we are making will create growth and career advancement opportunities for our professionals."
Recruiting top talent remained a priority in FY12. Over the course of the year, KPMG increased its global workforce by over 5%, to more than 152,000 partners and staff, the highest number of individuals ever employed across the network. More than 450 new partners were appointed over the year, bringing the number of partners across the network to more than 8,600, another record. KPMG recruited more than 18,000 graduates last year and plans to recruit a further 60,000 graduates over the next three years, marking the highest planned recruitment levels in KPMG's history. With its strong focus on training and advancement, KPMG has become one of the top tier employers in the business community.

Transparent High-Data-Rate Optical Transmission Through Broadband Hitless Bypass Switches for Chip-Scale Optical Networks
Silicon photonics has been realized to provide outstanding performance in very broad range of applications such as short-haul communication, and on-chip global interconnection networks in multi-core microprocessors. The most pertinent advantages of silicon photonics are its large bandwidth, low energy consumption, and small footprint components. Furthermore, silicon photonics provides large index contrast, enabling highly confined, low-loss waveguides. In photonics, optical switches are one of the critical components for on-chip optical networks. Particularly, they are needed for high performance interconnects in multi-core microprocessors systems. Previously, several switching techniques have been examined such as thermal heating, electrooptic switching, albeit requiring high power and not compatible with silicon.

UPDATE: Linda Jekel, director of Washington's Department of Financial Institutions credit union division assures the Daily Weekly that "no other credit unions are in danger of failure in Washington state."
A phone call to The Union Credit Union in Spokane won't get you to a credit union agent or anyone else associated with the institution. Instead, after a long wait, a person with "Credit Union Services" at a call center in Grand Rapids, Mich. will pick up and ask "how may I help you?" That's because The Union Credit Union no longer exists. It was shut down on Friday by federal regulators after teetering on the edge of collapse for months. And with 20 other Washington credit unions barely staying afloat, The Union may be the first of many such financial institutions to see its demise in the Evergreen State.
Folks who have money at The Union shouldn't panic. Holdings up to $250,000 are federally insured, and the accounts are being shifted to Alaska USA Federal Credit Union of Anchorage. Membership operations will be handled by the National Credit Union Administration.
The failure of the credit union is the first of its kind in Washington and the 17th in the nation.
Linda Jekel, director of Washington's Department of Financial Institutions credit union division tells the Puget Sound Business Journal that the reasons for the institution's failure stems from unemployed members making delinquent payments.
"The Union struggled primarily due to the unemployment of its members," said Linda Jekel, director of DFI's division of credit unions. "This resulted in a high number of delinquencies, loan charge-offs, negative earnings and low net worth."
UPDATE: Jekel also says that the reason The Union's members were so greatly impacted by unemployment is because the majority are in the construction trade and have seen their businesses sharply decline in the last two years.
UPDATE: Jekel also says that the reason The Union's members were so greatly impacted by unemployment is because the majority are in the construction trade and have seen their businesses sharply decline in the last two years.
The benchmark set by the DFI for what constitutes a healthy credit union is a ratio of net worth to assets of at least 7 percent. Last year The Union reported a net worth ratio of negative 0.35 percent. It had also posted losses of $474,000 through the first nine months of this year.
UPDATE: Jekel says the Journal was wrong in labeling any credit union with a net worth ratio under 7 percent as in danger of failure. She says her agency rates credit unions as "adequately capitalized" down to a 4 percent net worth ratio.
Of the 20 other credit unions in trouble in the state, the Journal points to three that are particularly bad: All City Credit Union in Everett, Sno Falls Credit Union in Snoqualmie and Cascade Forest Products Credit Union in Vancouver.
The solution to the mess will likely mean mergers. A merger can be mutually beneficial to ailing credit unions, as it can diversify their holdings. If, however, both institutions have shit nasty assets that are littered with delinquent loans and repos like The Union's were, merging can just create a larger failing entity instead of two smaller ones.
Meanwhile, major banks like Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo have continually posted profits ever since receiving the lion's share of bailout funds under the Troubled Asset Relief Program of 2008.

The Better Business Bureau says, while some are legitimate, some online schools issue diplomas that aren't worth the paper they are printed on.
The Better Business Bureau warns of four so-called "online diploma mills." they are Belford High School, Belford University, Jefferson High School Online and Vencer High School Online.
The BBB lists some warning signs when looking for schools online. They recommend avoiding schools that have degrees or diplomas based on "life experience" and require little or no work. A legitimate school will not guarantee you will get a diploma or degree. Be wary of deals for pursuing multiple degrees at a time, along with paying for degrees instead of for credit hours.

Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot was born on the 28th of September 1934 in Paris. She went on to become a fashion model, actress, singer, animal rights activist and one of the best-known sex-symbols of the 1960s. Catching the attention of French intellectuals, she was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir's 1959 essay, The Lolita Syndrome, which described Bardot as a "locomotive of women's history" and built upon existentialist themes to declare her the first and most liberated woman of post-war France.

Stocks tumbled Tuesday after an unexpectedly sharp contraction in the U.S. services sector and a fresh downgrade in the financial sector.
Stocks opened lower Tuesday after an unexpectedly sharp contraction in the U.S. services sector and a fresh downgrade in the financial sector.
Power company Duke Energy posted a 30 percent decline in fourth-quarter net income after spinning off its natural gas unit but said continuing earnings rose on business improvements across the board.
On Wall Street Tuesday, a bright spot will be the ticker tape parade for those Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Maybe stocks could be like the Giants. Play crummy all season, and then reverse fortunes in the final minutes.
Nuclear power is making a comeback in the US as the high cost of fossil fuels and concern about global warming make uranium-based generation a more attractive option, but the industry still faces regulatory and financial hurdles as well as lingering doubts about safety.
Now that Sen. Hillary Clinton has unveiled her energy policy, all leading Democratic presidential candidates are on the record and their plans are remarkably similar in broad outline in seeking to reduce greenhouse gases 80 percent by 2050.
Stocks closed on a positive note after several wild swings that ended an equally volatile week.
Power company Duke Energy reported a 27 percent increase in operating profit Friday, topping Wall Street estimates, as a heat wave drove up electricity usage.
Power company Duke Energy on Tuesday raised its earnings target for the next five years based on returns from higher spending and growing demand.
Federal regulators, girding for explosive growth in the nuclear power industry, say they are weeks away from an anticipated flood of license applications for new reactors not seen since the 1970s.
Power company Duke Energy said on Tuesday second-quarter earnings fell after the company spun off its natural gas operations earlier this year.
Like a power saw in overdrive, stocks will again cut a pattern of high velocity moves higher and lower in the coming week as investors look to see whether the Fed will hold out a hand to soothe the credit angst in financial markets.

Duke Energy, one of the largest electric power companies in the United States, said Tuesday its first-quarter profit fell slightly after it spun off its natural gas business at the beginning of the year.

The court, in a 5-4 ruling in its first case on climate change, declared that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
Remember Brian Hunter, Amaranth's head energy trader? He's the 32 year-old whose risky bets on natural gas triggered one of the biggest hedge fund meltdowns in history. Well, he's back and starting another hedge fund; this time with a "fresh approach to commodities." Called Solengo Capital, the new fund may launch as early as this summer - but long before this gorilla trader enters the room, our own Eric Bolling has done some investigating and learned his strategy.
Duke Energy posted lower fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday due to higher settlement reserves and the impact of merger and restructuring activities.
Stocks in the U.S. are leaning towards a higher open, as investors brace for a barrage of earnings news. Oil is bucking its recent downtrend and is slightly higher as cold weather finally settles into the Northeast. European stocks are trading higher, helped by mining, metals and oil stocks. Asian markets closed higher with Tokyo at a 9-month high.
So--what if everything you were told about air pollution was wrong? That it's not a problem anywhere near what most people believe. Joel Schwartz thinks that way. He is an adjunct scholar at the National Center for Policy Analysis. He's out with a study that says environmentalists have exaggerated just how bad air pollution is. But not so fast--says Ed Hopkins. He's Director of the Environmental Quality Program at the Sierra Club.

I try to crank out an experimental game every month. I was inspired by Experimental Gameplay Project, so I try to follow their rules. Basically this means that every game I create I have to make within 7-day limit, they have to made by me alone and they have to test some new form of gameplay.
Here's my 7th experimental done-in-under-a-week game. It's my take on the one button design challenge, that seems to pop up every now and then on every game development forum that I read.
As the full moon rises, nature's most savage beast (cows) reveal their true nature: their ability to fly.
You play as one of the cows, who tries to jump over the moon. The game is played by only using your left mouse button. When you press down on the mouse button the cow clings to the nearest star. Try to jump from star to star and reach the moon.
Esc - Will quit the game.
Alt + enter - Will toggle fullscreen.

Historical Mapping and Geographical Information Systems
Course date(s):
5 May 2016 to 6 May 2016
The 'spatial turn' is now well established in history and scholars, publishers and readers now frequently expect to see space to be used as a category of analysis, maps used as sources, and research illustrated with custom maps. However, without training in geographical techniques, tools, and even terminology, it can be challenging for historians to begin to work with this material. This two day course is designed to first introduce the history and concepts of mapping, along with the most basic ways of producing your own maps, before then moving on to a second day focusing on ArcGIS, the industry standard software for map analysis and production.
