 Sales of existing homes rose 4.5 percent in April to the highest sales pace on record as low mortgage rates continued to fuel a housing boom, a national trade group reported Tuesday.The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of single-family homes and condominiums climbed to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 7.18 million units last month, the fastest pace on record.The increase was far above the small 0.2 stanley cup usa  percent advance that had been expected and was credited to further declines in mortgage rates.The strengt stanley quencher h in sales last stanley cup  month was accompanied by further upward pressure on home prices. The median price for an existing home sold last month rose to a record $206,000, up 15.1 percent over the median price a year ago.That represented the biggest 12-month gain in home sales prices since November 1980 and was certain to add to concerns that the housing industry could be experiencing a speculative bubble similar to the stock market bubble which popped in the spring of 2000.        David Lereah, chief economist at the Realtors, said he agreed with concerns expressed last week by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who said that while he did not believe there was a national housing bubble certain local markets were exhibiting characteristics of unsustainable price increases. Certainly there are some select areas where there could be some froth,  Lereah said in releasing the new report.The new report said that the 7.18 million sales rate in April compared to a r Ajxd Rumsfeld: Terrorists On The Run
 I like sausages. I like grilled sausages. I like fried sausages. I like beef, pork and chicken sausages. I even like vegetarian sausages. Sometimes when you cook sausages, they burst. This occasionally happens if you try and cook them too fast. It can also happen if the brand of sausage you are cooking is overly generous wit stanley water jug h their filling.     Why Do Sausages Split  Sausages split because pressure builds up on the inside as they cook  typically from vapor produced by the heat, but also from the expansion of the foody goo stanley nz dness inside . As the pressure increases, so does the stress in t stanley termosy he casing of the sausage  the skin . When the stress in the casing reaches a critical value, it fails catastrophically and the sausage bursts. Have you noticed, when sausages burst, they almost always split lengthwise  Why is that  Let   investigate 鈥?Let   model our sausage as a thin-walled cylinder with hemispherical end caps. What does that mean  It means that we ;re only concerned with modelling the casing of sausage  the thing that fails . Thin-walled means that the thickness of skin is considered negligible compared to the diameter of the sausage  in this way, we only need to consider the tension in the skin . According to Pascal   Principle we ;ll assume the pressure of the fluid ; filing  sausage meat and vapor  inside is uniform. Longitudinal Stress and Hoop Stress Because of cylindrical symmetery we don ;t need to worry about shear stress in

 Police said Monday they found one small bone fragment on the property next door to the home of a Northern California man charged with kidnapping a little girl and hiding her in his backyard for 18 years.The FBI and local law enforcement agencies in the San Francisco Bay area have been combing Phillip Garrido s property in Antioch and the one next door for several days looking for any possible links to unsolved crimes in the area.Garrido and his wife, Nancy, were arrested last week and charged with 29 counts connected to the kidnapping, rape and imprisonment of Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was snatched outside her home in South Lake Tahoe in 1991. They have pleaded not guilty.The bone fragment was found Sunday in the next door neighbor s backyard, said Contra Costa County Sheriff s Department spokesman Jimmy Lee. He said it is not kno stanley cup wn if it is from an animal or human, and testing will take several weeks.Garrido once lived on that property in a shed. Neighbors say he once worked as the property caretaker and helped out an elderly man who lived there several years ago.        Antioch and Contra Costa County authorities have not provided many details about what they are seeking at the properties in relation to the other cases. The land includes the backyard compound of tents and sheds where Garrido and his wife allegedly hid Dugard and her two daughters, now 11 and 15, fathered by Garrido.Read more stories on the Dugard case at CBSNews:Witness: Jaycee s  stanley canada Kids Seemed NormalBone i stanley cup n Back Btki Madam Mayor At Age 96
 Because battery technology still relatively sucks, electric vehicles like buses that have to run all day long usually stay tethered to a spiderweb of overhead cables. But as an alternative to that costly infrastructure, researchers at the EPFL have developed an electric bus that can recharge itself at every stanley canada  stop in as little as 15 seconds.      Converting a city   surface road mass transit system still requires the charging stations to be installed at specific stops along given bus routes, but it requires far less of an investment than stringing up and maintaining overhead power lines, or tearing up the streets to install underground inductive charging cables. https://gizmodo/these-incredible-new-buses-are-charged-wirelessly-by-th-1043337254 There are some challenges facing the proposed system, though. The researchers who created the charging stations are also working on software that can help a city figure out exactly where they ;d nee stanley thermobecher d to install the charging stations to keep a network of buses running reliably. In its current form, given the amount of power being transferred, only a single bus can charge at one time. And making another bus wait introduces delays that can propagate across the network. So implementing the system requires not only an investment in the hardw stanley water bottle are, but also a city rethinking routes, and how its existing surface mass transit system operates. Still, even with all of the logistical overhead, it could be a more promising path forward.
