How does the molecular structure of an eggshell affect its strength?
- Metal spoon
- 4 raw eggs in their shells
- Bowl
- Tap water
- Paper towel
- Masking tape
- Nail scissors
- Several books
- Bathroom scale
CAUTION: Always wash your hands after touching an uncooked egg. It may contain harmful bacteria.
- Using the edge of the spoon, carefully break off the small end of each eggshell. If any cracks form up the side of a shell, discard it and use another egg.
- Shake out the contents of each egg into the bowl.
- Rinse the inside of the eggshells with water.
- Carefully dry the outside of the shells with the paper towel.
- Wrap a piece of tape around the center of each shell as shown, positioning the tape the same on each shell.
- Use the nail scissors to cut away the broken ends around the bottom of the tape on each shell.
- Place the shells, open end down, in a rectangular array on a table.
- Place one book on top of the shells, and position the shells so that one is under each corner of the book.
- Carefully add the other books, one at a time, to the book on top of the eggshells, waiting 30 seconds before adding each book. Keep adding books until a cracking sound is heard. Record the number of books required to cause the first crack.
- Continue to carefully stack the books until one or more of the shells collapse. Record the number of books required to cause the crush.
- Use the bathroom scale to weigh first the books required to crack a shell and then all of the books required to collapse one or more of the shells.
The number of books the eggs will hold depends on the weight of each book and the shape of the eggs used. [The author's result was that 5 books weighing 15 pounds (6.8 kg) produced the first crack, and 2 additional, smaller books, bringing the total weight to 19 pounds (8.6 kg), collapsed the eggs.]
Eggshells consist largely of the mineral calcium carbonate. The molecules of calcium carbonate are arranged in a dome-shaped structure around the contents of the egg. The weight placed on top of each egg is spread down along the curved sides to the base. No single point on the dome supports the whole weight, so together they can support quite a heavy weight. The dome shape provides a structure imitated by architects because of its strength and ability to span a large area.
Let's Explore
Would the eggshells support more or less weight if the small end of the shell was used? Repeat the experiment, but break off the large end of the shell. Record the number and weight of books that caused the first crack and then the number and weight needed to crush the shells. Science Fair Hint: As part of a project display, prepare new shells from the large (rounded) and small (pointed) ends of the eggs. Exhibit the shells supporting lightweight books. Label the display with the total amount of weight that each set of eggs can support.
Show Time!
- How are molecules arranged in solids? Molecules in solids are not packed tightly together; much space exists in a solid. Explain and diagram how the "holding forces" among the molecules in a solid give it a definite shape and a definite volume and affect its strength.
- Observe and collect samples of different types of solids. Make comparisons and draw conclusions about the strength of each type of material. Make a list of questions such as these about the samples collected and discover the answers: Are all wooden pieces hard? Can all samples of cloth be easily torn, and does the cloth tear with the same ease in all directions? Do all paper samples have the same strength? Display the samples, a list of your questions, and the answers to each question.
Check it Out!
Weight can be successfully hung from some solids but not from others. This is due to the tensile strength of the material. What is tensile strength? Which solids have great tensile strength?

How to wear my hair with a hard hat???
I'm a female and will be wearing a hard hat full time with my new job as a project engineer. My hair is about shoulder length and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to wear my hair another way besides down. My hair is fine and straight and within 5 minutes of wearing a hard hat, it's flat. Any ideas besides a low ponytail or is that my only other option?
Put your hair in two baby braids. If you have a ponytail, it's going to bump against the helmet and be uncomfortable. I don't think your hair is long enough for a single braid. There isn't any way to protect against hathead when your wearing a hard hat. It's just the life you've chosen
on poptropica how do you get the hard hat on nabooti island?
i need to get a hard hat to pass a person and and to a new area. also how do you get the camera?
To get the hard hat you need to first get the camera. Get the camera from the trader in nabooti by trading it for gold found in the keya forest. Then take pictures for Zeke and get the hard hat from him.
Does anyone know anything about a hard hat that resembles a straw hat?
My boss wants me to look for him one because he says he has seen them before. I have no clue what he is talking about. He is from Korea and saw them there I believe so I dont know if they even make them here! Thanks!
Gempler's has cowboy hard hats in there catalog. That might be what he saw.
where do i get the red club penguin hard hat?
ive been part of club penguin for about 675 days and havent seen that hat. where is it?

When did professional baseball mandate the "hard hat" usage for batters up?
In professional baseball, batters must wear hard hats when up to bat, but it wasn't always that way. What year did it become a rule that all professional baseball players wear hard hats when up to bat?
"In the spring of 1958, the American League joined the National League in making the helmet mandatory for all hitters."
What is the difference between a Type I and Type II hard hat?
Typically, hard hats are made to meet ANSI standard Z89.1- 1997 for top impact. They protect the head from falling objects.
Type II helmets, provide protection from blows to both the top and sides of the head.
How do I spray paint my plastic hard-hat with gold?
i want to spray my hardhat a gold metallic colour. any suggestions on how to go about doing it? it's plastic, so from what ive read i should use a special kind of spray paint so it doesn't just "bead up"? help?
Go to Home Depots paint department...i believe you need to get a primer coat first...the worker at the depot should know what kind...but i am sure there is a plastic primer....if you cannot find one,...my suggestions are to :
1. cover it in a thin coat of glue
2. you may have to sand it a bit
both of those SHOULD get your paint to stick, but check for a plastic primer first

Ingredients & Description
Red Clover CleanserPremier Botanical Purifier Red Clover is a rich source of isoflavones, including genistein, diadzein, biochanin and formononetin. It is important to consume all four, which may not be present in your diet. When the body is low in estrogen, as in menopause, phytoestrogens such as isoflavones may substitute for the lack of estrogen, mitigating the effects of its absence. Research shows that red clover may help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system during menopause.For centuries cleansing has been a cornerstone of natural health care-and the chemical toxins and environmental pollutants in today's environment make this practice more important than ever. Red Clover Cleanser is a dynamic combination of traditional Western and Chinese purifiers. It purifies the bloodstream with some of the most relied-upon botanical cleansers from two continents: red clover blossoms, echinacea, yellow dock, sarsaparilla, forsythia and honeysuckle.

MONKI shirt // THRIFTED jacket // H&M shorts // OUT FROM UNDER sandals |
Hooray, the warm weather is back! For now! Wearing new sandals I bought at the beginning of the month. I decided to splurge on a pair before I spent my money on everything else because sandals are such a weird shoe. My feet are so wide and I can never find a pair that are actually comfortable and pretty. So I decided to go for a less feminine style this season and bought these heavy, leather ones from Urban Outfitters. Still wearing them out but no regrets so far.
I told my friend I had bought sandals and he just went 'sandals?? who the fuck wears sandals?' and I went 'who the fuck doesn't?' I always forget that there are people that just don't wear open shoes... ever. I would be so cranky if I was forced to wear closed shoes all summer. Apparently there are some who believe only people with nice feet are allowed to wear sandals. What a load of BS. I'm a fan of not suffocating your feet no matter how they look.

Thirty players now have a chance to represent the United States in Brazil. Yet not every player is key to the USA's chances in the World Cup. Ben Valentine unveils his first of a weekly set of rankings to show who is currently the most important players in the U.S. squad.Start Slideshow
The boss of the USA midfield, Bradley is the cog that makes the U.S. attack cohesive. That was last on display in the first half of the friendly against Mexico. He is arguably the most important player for the team's success. (Chris O'Meara/AP)Next
After a slow start in his return to MLS, Dempsey has been on fire, with eight goals in nine games this season. He should either play an advanced midfield/shadow striker role behind Jozy Altidore or as a true second striker alongside Altidore in Brazil. (Moises Castillo/AP)Next
Howard is a lock to start for the U.S. after another strong season in England's top flight. ESPN's Jeff Carlisle reports U.S. manager Jurgen Klinsmann even called Howard a top-five keeper in the world. (Jay LaPrete/AP)Next
He struggled in England, but Altidore will start in Brazil barring injury. The U.S. needs him to find his scoring touch to have a good chance of progression out of its "Group of Death." (Andres Leighton/AP)Next
Cameron had an excellent season playing mostly right back for Stoke City. Klinsmann prefers him at center back though, likely because Cameron offers much less going forward as a fullback. He could lineup at either position when the U.S. opens against Ghana. (Rick Bowmer/AP)Next
I refuse to believe his spot in the 23 is in jeopardy - Donovan is too good for that - so this "will he or won't he make it" seems like a mind game by Klinsmann. But it wouldn't shock me if Donovan initially was used as a game-changing substitute. (Jay LaPrete/AP)Next
The injury-prone left back could be deployed in the midfield, depending on what Klinsmann does with Landon Donovan. Johnson might even see time at right back. But he should start somewhere against Ghana. (Moises Castillo/AP)Next
Implementing a possession style of soccer requires at least one defender who can play out the back. Besler has fit this role well and should be starting at center back against Ghana. (Ted S. Warren/AP)Next
Zusi's goal against Panama is the reason Mexico is in the World Cup, but for the U.S. expect him to lineup on the right side of the midfield. (Rick Bowmer/AP)Next
Jones is more popular with Klinsmann than he is with U.S. fans. Ideally a physical defensive midfielder, he is the favorite to start alongside Michael Bradley in the central positions. (Rick Bowmer/AP)Next
On paper the most well-rounded right back in the U.S. pool, but Chandler has been up and down and hasn't played with the team since a poor performance in the first game of the last round of World Cup qualifying. Back from a knee injury, Chandler could fail to make the 23, or he could start in Brazil. (Jens Meyer/AP)Next
Johannsson scored 17 goals in Holland last year. But remember, goals come easier in Holland - just ask Jozy Altidore. Johannsson could start alongside Altidore if the U.S. plays a 4-4-2 formation with two strikers, or he could play an advanced midfield role if a 4-5-1 is the formation. (Arnulfo Franco/AP)Next
Bedoya could challenge for a starting spot, though he likely is behind Graham Zusi. He should be in the 23 though, as he has played both on the right and left of the U.S. midfield. (Gus Ruelas/AP)Next
Gonzalez seemed a lock to start in Brazil a few months ago, but he had a bad game against Mexico in April. Now he could find himself on the bench behind a Besler/Cameron pairing. He should make the 23 though. (Moises Castillo/AP)Next
Beasley has filled in admirably at left back but offers more going forward than he does in defense. He could start if Fabian Johnson plays in the midfield or right back, though that might be a little frightening against some world-class wingers in the World Cup. (Paul Thomas/AP)Next
Boyd is a big target forward, and the guy who could spell Jozy Altidore in the role if need be. That skill might give him the edge to make the 23, as the other forwards are the target/hold up play type. (Rick Bowmer/AP)Next
Goodson probably is not in line to start in Brazil, especially if Geoff Cameron is playing center back. But given the uncertainty around the U.S. backline besides Matt Besler, it wouldn't be a shock to see Goodson eventually get some action if he makes the 23. (Charles Rex Arbogast/AP)Next
Guzan would start for a good amount of teams in the World Cup, but he will not for the U.S. (Rick Bowmer/AP)Next
Like Guzan, Rimando will be on the team, but has almost no chance to play in Brazil. (Rock Scuteri/AP)Next
Evans is a versatile player who can play midfield, or right back. The latter is where he could start against Ghana. But the thought of him manning the position against Cristiano Ronaldo should give all U.S. fans the chills, especially given how rarely Evans plays right back in Seattle.(Tito Herrera/AP)Next
Beckerman is a hard-working defensive midfielder. But can his game translate against non-CONCACAF sides? He has a good chance to make the 23, though he's been a routine call in for Klinsmann this cycle. (Bill Kostroun/AP)Next
Green probably is too raw to be a contributor, but it certainly feels like Klinsmann will give him every chance to make the 23. (Rock Scuteri/AP)Next
Diskerud was a bigger favorite to make the team a few months ago. Now he needs a good camp to get on the plane to Brazil and could face stiff competition from Joe Corona, who can also play out wide (though he is not as sound defensively). (Schalk van Zuydam/AP)Next
Edu has salvaged his World Cup dream with his move to Philadelphia. Kyle Beckerman may have the edge at the moment, but Edu brings more to the table physically as a defensive midfielder. He can also play center back in a pinch, though it is unlikely Edu will be deployed there. (Reed Hoffmann/AP)Next
Parkhurst's ability to play on the left and right side is his best hope at getting on the team. Considering the problems at both left and right back, that's not something to be discounted. (Patrick Semansky/AP)Next
Young and a bit raw, Brooks played in Germany's top league this year. It may be too early for him though as he has been an inconsistent performer in a U.S. shirt so far. (Hans Punz/AP)Next
Perhaps a somewhat surprise inclusion in the initial 30, Corona has the versatility to play across the midfield. That could give him an edge over Mix Diskerud. (Rick Bowmer/AP)Next
Wondo has done everything asked of him thus far, but isn't a big target forward. That means, in theory, he could have Aron Johannsson, Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan ahead of him, which could leave him off the final 23. (Brandon Wade/AP)Next
Davis is a free-kick technician, which the U.S. has very few of. That could sneak him onto the squad as a specialist. (Elaine Thompson/AP)Next
The young, speedy fullback has a bright future, but 2014 is probably too early for him. Yedlin just hasn't played enough against international competition. However, given how unsettled right back is, he could sneak his way on if he's amazing in camp. (Gero Breloer/AP)

Apparently having solved all other issues on campus, the University of Virginia has passed a resolution apologizing for slavery.
So people who've never owned slaves have now apologized to people who've never been slaves. Brilliant.
Now I'm ready for somebody who's never done anything to me to apologize for something I've never personally suffered.

My weight has been fluctuating between 207 and 209 for the past week for so. While those numbers haven't changed, my measurements have. I put on a pair of size 18 jeans on Friday and they were too big. I bought a pair of size 16 and they fit! I had bought a few new T-shirts in size 16-18 but had not bothered to try them on yet. After finding the jean size went down, I tried on the new T-shirts and they fit, too. That is really encouraging. When I had the surgery, I wore size 22 and 24. Getting into a size 16 is a wonderful thing! I'm 40% of the way to my goal in less than 3 months. Yippee!

Horsford grandmother Ros Starling who was wrongly diagnosed with cancer by the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital at home with her husband John. She has received an apology. Photo: Steve Adams
Richard Wheeler
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Hospital bosses have apologised after a grandmother who visited for routine surgery was wrongly diagnosed with cancer.
Ros Starling, 69, of Horsford, and her family were horrified to discover her discharge sheet from the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (N&N) said she had bladder cancer – and that she was aware of this information.
But Mrs Starling said the diagnosis came completely out of the blue – and she had "three weeks of worry" as she waited to find out if it was true.
An administrative error has been blamed for the misdiagnosis.
Mrs Starling has made an official complaint to the N&N, although she added staff have since been in touch to apologise and explain what happened.
The mother-of-three said the care she received from medical staff was "first class", although she was frustrated that their hard work in the wards was being undermined by administrative issues.
Mrs Starling, whose husband John is a Broadland district councillor, said: "It was a worrying time for me and the family. I have three sons and daughters-in-law who were concerned about my health.
"I was delighted to find out I don't have cancer but I've had three weeks of worry, which should not have been the case.
"I hope it doesn't happen again."
A Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital spokesman said: "We are very sorry that the incorrect information appeared in the letter to Mrs Starling which was due to an administrative error.
"The consultant in charge of Mrs Starling's care telephoned her earlier this week to apologise and we have also sent a written letter of apology. No other patients were affected by this mistake."
For more on how Mrs Starling found out about the error and the hospital's reponse, see today's paper.

could the clue be in the husbands job???

Why do these people go running to the newspapers ? ....."three weeks of worry"...if she had rang the unit or the doctor who wrote the discharge letter it could have been sorted in 24 hours.

Spell check please... last time I checked there was a D in 'grandmother'.

Sulf-2 is an endosulfatase with activity against glucosamine-6-sulfate modifications within subregions of intact heparin. The enzyme has the potential to modify the sulfation status of extracellular heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) glycosaminoglycan chains and thereby to regulate interactions with HSPG-binding proteins. In the present investigation, data mining from published studies was employed to establish Sulf-2 mRNA upregulation in human breast cancer. We further found that cultured breast carcinoma cells expressed Sulf-2 mRNA and released enzymatically active proteins into conditioned medium. In two mouse models of mammary carcinoma, Sulf-2 mRNA was upregulated in comparison to its expression in normal mammary gland. Although mRNA was present in normal tissues, Sulf-2 protein was undetectable; it was, however, detected in some premalignant lesions and in tumors. The protein was localized to the epithelial cells of the tumors. In support of the possible mechanistic relevance of Sulf-2 upregulation in tumors, purified recombinant Sulf-2 promoted angiogenesis in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay.

We were contacted by consumers who'd returned their phones three or four times — and some still didn't work. Readers also told us how retailers, manufacturers and service providers seemed unwilling to take responsibility for the problems.
After her phone developed a fault, Kendall was given the runaround between retailer (Optus) and manufacturer (Nokia) over a period of nearly six months.
"There was a real lack of understanding of who was actually liable for my after-sales service, whether it was Optus or Nokia," she says. "They passed the buck to each other."
The Department of Fair Trading was quite clear on the matter, telling Kendall that legally the retailer must provide after-sales service.
After we contacted Optus about this poor service, Kendall was provided with a replacement phone and compensated for the inconvenience she experienced. Optus apologised and says it's reviewed its policies to ensure this sort of event doesn't happen again. Nokia said it plans to look into Kendall's case further.
Consumers sometimes found their repaired or replaced phone had been wiped of contacts lists, photos and other personal information. We'd recommend backing up your details from both SIM and phone memory. It's not a bad idea even if your phone isn't going in for repair, in case it's lost or stolen. Options include:
Within two months of purchase, Larry's Samsung started to malfunction, so he took it back to the retailer. After numerous calls to the shop, head office and the repair centre to find out what was happening, he was told he'd get a new phone as replacement.
"I picked up the so-called 'new' phone after more than a month of waiting," Larry says. "When I went through the menus I found it wasn't a new phone or even my old one, but someone else's. It had their details, pictures and personal videos."
Larry returned the phone and asked for the new one he'd been promised. When he picked up his second 'new' phone he found that, yet again, it wasn't new. "The keys were wobbly and the battery had a sticker indicating the phone had been repaired." After we contacted Samsung about Larry's experience he was offered a choice of two replacement phones. He's considering his options.

Voyager Knit Sleeveless Long Sundress
Not very flattering on me
Looked better on the catalog model than on me. I'm a size 8 and 5'4". The petite small was very roomy. I was glad that the fabric wasn't clingy, but it just looked like a sack on me. I'm hoping that if I shorten it a few inches and add some cute shoes and a necklace, I'll like it.
February 23, 2015
If not for the print...
This is a great dress. True to size for a petite small, it comes to my ankles, and flows and drapes beautifully. I truly would love to keep it, but the print is just too unattractive, and is not a paisley. I would buy more of this style if the dress came in a small, discreet print, but this one looks like a Rorschach test. I will, sadly, have to return it.
February 22, 2015
Great sundress
This is by far the best purchase I've made from Travel Smith. I plan on wearing this dress to a spring wedding with a sheer sweater over it. It would also be wonderful on a cruise.
The drape, texture and color of the dress is great - the blue is more of a light navy blue - not royal but not a blackish navy blue. I think this is a good point.....sometimes dark navy colors are hard to match with other blue fabrics.
The length (petite) and size XL fit me perfectly - the length maybe could go up an inch or two but I'm not concerned. It is roomy - but that's good too - the dress doesn't cling. My only suggestion is to hang it over a hanger - I think hanging it by the straps might cause it to stretch.
February 21, 2015
Easy Daytime Dressing
This is a great dress for mai tais on the lanai or margaritas on the beach. It runs a bit large, so if you may want to consider ordering a size smaller than you normally do. I'm usually a petite medium, but I ordered a petite small and it's just right. The fabric is slinky and there's no chance of it wrinkling, so this dress will probably end up in my suitcase throughout the summer and into fall.

Great Dress to Dress Up or Down!
This dress is perfect for throwing in a packing cube. Add a jacket and some accessories or throw on a belt and some sandals; either way it's a versatile choice.
I am 5'4" and 127. The small fit fine maybe a little big, but I don't want it tight. With the navy and white palette, you could pair it with a yellow, red or mint green jacket.
You won't be disappointed. The quality is nice.

Great dress
A very good dress for many occasions. Will fit the informal party, shopping and the beach. I am 5'5" at 138 lbs. small is perfect. I found the lenght a little too long so I did a little sewing.

Love this drrss
Love this dress. Already have it in the blue print....always get compliments. Bought this is a larger size. first dress fits OK...size petite large. This looks good, but I need a jacket or shrug to hide the 'back' bumps. This dress I got in petite xl and it drapes nicely and doesn't show the bumps. I am a senior, 5'2" weighing 180lbs. Highly recommend.

Piece of Point Piper's waterfront sells for $30 million
PUBLISHED: 03 Jun 2014 16:26:00 | UPDATED: 04 Jun 2014 06:35:05PUBLISHED: 03 Jun 2014 PRINT EDITION: 04 Jun 2014Four buyers competed for the $30 million dollar views across Sydney Harbour from this Point Piper home.
Rebecca Thistleton
A home has sold for about $30 million in one of Sydney's most prestigious streets, Wolseley Road in Point Piper.
Sydney property insiders reported four buyers, both locally based and offshore, were interested in the waterfront home. It was part of the late Peter and Ruth Simon's estate. The couple, who owned electrical switch manufacturer HPM, paid about $12 million for it in 1996. It has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a self-contained apartment, cellar and a lift.
The north-facing home has views across Sydney Harbour, taking in the bridge and Opera House. It was designed by Gergely & Pinter, who are designing the home of Chinese princeling Zeng Wei on the nearby site of historic Craig-y-Mor, demolished last week. The property was listed with Sotheby's International agents Michael Pallier and Matt Ratcliffe, who was understood to have been quoting $30 million for the property.
Mr Pallier confirmed the sale but would not comment on the price nor the buyer. He said the property sold after about six weeks on the market and the solid interest reflected a healthy top-end sector with plenty of wealthy buyers looking to spend big on harbour views.

The intersection of mobile and photographic technologies with social networks has produced platforms such as Instagram. The way libraries are using these platforms has not been investigated in depth. This research aims to discover trends in the use of Instagram by libraries, reporting on selected libraries' experiences and intentions behind capturing and sharing images on Instagram. Recommendations will be made on how librarians can transform relationships and engagement with their communities through mobile photo sharing, taking advantage of 'the perfect storm' of technological convergence.

Electronic journals have become well established in their various formats in university libraries while electronic books are still struggling to find their place. The notion that ebooks are a solution in search of a problem" still has some currency as libraries negotiate the various licensing and access issues associated with e-books. This paper will explore the theoretical and practical issues of implementing e-books in the tertiary education environment. Experiences at Bond University where the School of IT and the Library are collaborating to experiment with e-book solutions for IT students will be used to illustrate progress.

Survey looks at health inspections, level of nurse staffing and quality of care
Norfolk, VA (March 20, 2013) — Three Sentara Nursing Centers have received the highest possible overall rating of five stars in U.S. News & World Report's fifth annual Best Nursing Homes.
The Best Nursing Homes 2013 ratings highlight the top nursing homes in each city and state, out of nearly 16,000 facilities nationwide. U.S. News & World Report recognized three Sentara facilities as a "Best Nursing Home."
Sentara Nursing Center-Windermere (Virginia Beach, VA)Sentara Nursing Center (Barco, NC)Sentara Nursing Center (Portsmouth, VA)
"The five star rating is an important recognition of the dedication and caring commitment our teams provide each and every day," says Bruce Robertson, president of Sentara Life Care. "We are honored to have the opportunity to care for seniors in our community and especially grateful to be recognized with this achievement."
U.S. News & World Report's Best Nursing Homes draws on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency that assesses homes in three categories—health inspections, level of nurse staffing, and quality of care—and gives each an overall rating. U.S. News awarded the "Best Nursing Home" designation to homes that earned an overall rating of five stars from CMS in January 2013. The Best Nursing Homes list is posted online.

Form guess structure for extending boundary value solutions
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,ynew)
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,extrap)
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew)
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,ynew,pnew)
= bvpxtend(sol,xnew,extrap,pnew)
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,ynew) uses solution sol computed on [a,b] to form a solution guess for the interval extended to xnew. The extension point xnew must be outside the interval [a,b], but on either side. The vector ynew provides an initial guess for the solution at xnew.
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,extrap) forms the guess at xnew by extrapolating the solution sol. extrap is a string that determines the extrapolation method. extrap has three possible values:
'constant' — ynew is a value nearer to end point of solution in sol.
'linear' — ynew is a value at xnew of linear interpolant to the value and slope at the nearer end point of solution in sol.
'solution' — ynew is the value of (cubic) solution in sol at xnew.
The value of extrap is case-insensitive and only the leading, unique portion needs to be specified.
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew) uses the extrapolating solution where extrap is 'constant'. If there are unknown parameters, values present in sol are used as the initial guess for parameters in solinit.
solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,ynew,pnew) specifies a different guess pnew. pnew can be used with extrapolation, using the syntax solinit = bvpxtend(sol,xnew,extrap,pnew). To modify parameters without changing the interval, use [] as place holder for xnew and ynew.

And so without further ado, I give you Part 1 of Sandy's trunk show. I think there were probably almost 40 quilts in her show and I don't want to blow your mind with all of them at once. I'll give you a few to savor now and the rest in a couple of days.
This first quilt is called Edy's Quilt. (The pattern for this one and most of the other from her show are available at her website.) It is a more recent quilt and was stunning.
This was a quilt she made with fabrics collected on a trip to Avingnon, France called Dancing Ladies. She had this quilt hanging at Market when she was first approached by Moda Fabrics. The Dancing Ladies pattern is available on her site.
Fabrics from one of her earlier collections for Moda called Apple Pie. I still have a tiny bit of that blue with the white dots horded that I'm using for my Union Jacks. The quilt is called Apple Crisp.

UTCS AI Colloquia - Sanjeev J. Koppal, Researcher, Texas Instruments, "Lithographic Vision Sensors"
Signup Schedule: http://apps.cs.utexas.edu/talkschedules/cgi/list_events.cgi
Talk Audience: UTCS Faculty, Grads, Undergrads, Other Interested Parties
Host: Kristen Grauman
Talk Abstract: Miniature computing platforms will influence fields such as geographic and environment sensing, search and rescue, industrial control and monitoring, energy and health. Computer vision algorithms can broaden this impact by allowing small devices to utilize the rich visual information of their surroundings. However, achieving computer vision on small form factor devices is a challenge due to the severe constraints of power and mass.
Lithographic vision sensors are a class of devices that allow computer vision in these scenarios by leveraging two characteristics. First, every part of the sensor is jointly designed with the computer vision task in mind, in order to extract the maximum energy efficiency. Second, the optics of the system perform a significant portion of the computational burden. Balancing the performance of any particular computer vision algorithm with the physical aspects of a lithographic vision sensor (such as field-of-view, mass, power consumption etc) provides a rich source of interesting, new research problems.
Recent advances in material science and small-scale fabrication coupled with the rapid prototyping revolution have significantly increased the ease of designing, building, testing and iterating these devices. A key target of this research is to create a dictionary of low-power vision sensors for different task specific situations, analogous to how biological eyes are well suited for particular conditions. The broader goal is to build a general optimization and design framework that can produce these task-specific designs given certain physical constraints. In that sense, the ultimate goal is to build a "compiler" for visual sensors.

POSTED: Thursday, September 19, 2013 - 2:57pm
UPDATED: Thursday, September 19, 2013 - 2:57pm
Mother says California school district discriminated against her for breastfeeding her baby
A mother in California says a school district broke the law by not allowing her to breast-feed her baby.
And she says the district took it a step further by punishing her eldest son.
Now she's taking her fight to the district's front door by organizing a "nurse-in" outside the district's headquarters.
She hopes to get dozens of people to nurse there on Wednesday, Sept. 25th.
Rachel Rainbolt hasn't been back at Meadowbrook Middle School since about April when she says she breast fed her one-year-old in front of a teacher.
"She looked kind of disgusted and horrified."
Rainbolt tells me it was during a private session with her 8-year-old son and his female teacher -- not in front of anyone else.
"She turned to me and said, that was not appropriate. Do you know what a breast feeding cover is? That's not appropriate to do here. Aren't you concerned that people will stare?"
The next day, Rainbolt tells me she got a call from the district saying her 8-year-old son could no longer attend a monthly group presentation class because of the incident.
"Heart-breaking and even that much more scary. Because now I have to start to worry about his well being."
"Did you start to feel bad in some way?"
"Of course. I felt completely ashamed and scared," says Rainbolt.
Rainbolt says she made a formal complaint of discrimination with the state and the state sided with the school.
But Rainbolt cites California Law that a mother may breast-feed her child in any public location.
"I came back calmly asserting that it was a legally protected right. Her last words were, so you're not willing to comply with my requests to stop? And I said... no."

Current Time
Cape Cod restaurants
Superb restaurants in Cape Cod are surprisingly lacking, given the Cape's growing year-round population and the sophistication of its visitors. Alas, the culinary renaissance seen in Boston, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket has yet to arrive here. Service, too, is generally lackluster. What Cape Cod restaurants do well is casual dining and family-friendly seafood. Locals line up at the gray-shingled Brewster Fish House, for example, for traditional seafood and unexpectedly refined dishes such as crisp-skin wild sea bass (2208 Main St.; Brewster; 508-896-7867). And the family-owned Lobster Pot—a Provincetown institution near the wharf—serves fresh-as-can-be fish and seafood with a Portuguese flair (321 Commercial St.; 508-487-0842; www.ptownlobsterpot.com). If you don't mind chowing down at a picnic table, the best clam shack is Arnold's in Eastham, and you'll find the tastiest lobster roll at the Sesuit Harbor Café in East Dennis. Note that many Cape Cod restaurants are seasonal, and their opening and closing dates vary. While summer hours are fairly reliable, it's best to call ahead at other times of the year; restaurants that remain open after high season often change their hours to adjust to the flow of business.

For artist Hongtao Zhou, creating magnificent snow sculptures isn't very difficult in winters as cold as those found in Wisconsin. But when Zhou was commissioned by the Milwaukee Art Museum to produce an installation of dancing ice furniture on its front lawn, things got a little disagreeable on account of the thermostat readings. In the face of unseasonably warm temperatures and a front lawn almost completely surrounded by windows, Zhou continued undeterred deciding that this year's furniture should embrace the heat and turn all that melting into a way convey the issue of global warming.
Drawing ice water from Lake Michigan with a bucket on a rope, Zhou set out to create his droopy-drippy furniture. But as the artist quickly realized in constructing his pieces, no deliberate message on his part was necessary – his materials were ultimately dictating the final form. He writes, "Once the water and snow were mixed well, I shaped the slash around a slim tree branch to help the curved legs and stretchers stand. Cold wind started to help solidify the new structures." What resulted were organic shapes created by natural elements.
While the installation melted away in February, Zhou hopes that this project will continue to remind people of the increasingly severe environmental issues we are facing as well as what's to come if we don't start to change the way we live.
