How to sort array of directory names into order based on file value
Hi all - I need to sort an array and I am really struggling to get my head around this and wondered if anyone could help please ?
Here is the situation :
There are a bunch of directories (number unknown).
In each directory are two files (file1 and file2) - Each file contains a simple integer.
I need to collect the names of all the directories into an array, walk through the array and pull the integers from the two files in each directory and multiply the integers together.
I then need to sort the array of directory names in descending order by the value gained by multiplying the two numbers.
I can obvously get the dirnames into an array as follows :
$dirs = glob('*',GLOB_NOSORT|GLOB_ONLYDIR);
I can then walk through this array and pull the numbers :
foreach ($dirs as $directory) {
Here is where I am stuck LOL! I thought that maybe I can convert the one-dimensional $dirs array into a two-dimensional and add the $result variable to the corresponding entry in $dirs and then, maybe, at the end do some sort of usort on the $dirs array.
I just don't know where to go from here.
What I want to end up with is an array of directory names that is sorted by the product of two values stored in two files within each directory (if that makes sense).
Any help would really be super appreciated.

To do this, you need to write a custom comparator. Fortunately it's super easy to do. You can fetch the directory names however you want.
This is the absolute most basic example I can think of:
Untested and no error handling, but otherwise works okay in my head.PHP Code:
function cmpDirectoryByFileMultiply($sDir1, $sDir2)
static $aDirMulti = array();
$iResult = 0;
$d1f1 = $sDir1 . '/file1';
$d1f2 = $sDir1 . '/file2';
$d2f1 = $sDir2 . '/file1';
$d2f2 = $sDir2 . '/file2';
if (file_exists($d1f1) && file_exists($d1f2) && file_exists($d2f1) && file_exists($d2f2))
if (!isset($aDirMulti[$sDir1]))
$aDirMulti[$sDir1] = file_get_contents($d1f1) * file_get_contents($d1f2);
if (!isset($aDirMulti[$sDir2]))
$aDirMulti[$sDir2] = file_get_contents($d2f1) * file_get_contents($d2f2);
$iResult = $aDirMulti[$sDir1] - $aDirMulti[$sDir2];
return $iResult;
usort($dirs, 'cmpDirectoryByFileMultiply');
Been gone for a few months, and haven't programmed in that long of a time. Meh, I'll wing it ;)PHP Code:
header('HTTP/1.1 420 Enhance Your Calm');

Playboy new york is the best! all my girl friends love it and say it smells great! its not super strong tho, so i do spray a lot! i spray like ten times all over, and that is a good amount cuz you can smell it easily then, and it just smells awesome. its kinda like how abercrombie smells, but more subtle and more like candy almost (if that makes sense), but its still manly and not girly smelling at all, and most of my guy friends ask me what it is cuz they like it hahaha

Since image stabilization systems work best with rotational vibration, translational vibration can still create blurry pictures. By restraining the up-down left-right and back-front axis, you can lessen this vibration. Since with this design you still have rotational freedom, you can pan and follow something such as a bird or sports player. You can also recompose your shot with little trouble. Of course this technique also works well with non image stabilization systems.

-Easy to make
-No special tools needed (or really any at all)
-Hard to break
-You can use this where tripods are disallowed (such as museums)
-If the "tripod" gets dirty you can throw it in the wash
-If you misplace it, you can make another
-Rotational movement still available for panning and recomposition
-Does not hold as steady as a real tripod
-You can get some looks while using it
Step 1: Parts
1x 1/4 -20 Stainless steel eye hook or eyebolt. 2 inches long or shorter.
1x 1/4 -20 Nut (May come with the eye hook)
40ft Braided nylon and/or poly cord (Parachute cord is recommended)
1x Carabiner
All of these can be found at your local hardware store and should be had for about $5 total.
It looks a bit silly, but I used something like this for whale-watching a while ago and it seemed to work well. On a rocking boat like that, I think it actually may have worked better than a tripod; you have to be quick in response to people pointing and yelling "WHALE!!"
Definitely, very cool.
A wingnut (screwed on 'backwards' obviously) will be a little more finger-friendly (especially in gloves, etc.) than a regular hex-nut, even though a lot of tightening isn't necessary.
Typical camera mounts are 1/4-20 UNC threads, which are VERY common in typical (American) hardware departments. Check your local store (hardware and plumbing). There should be plastic parts that won't be as likely to cross-thread if you have a plastic mount.
As a side note, the 'finials' that hold lampshades on are commonly 1/4-20 threaded. If you need a tripod and have a lamp with a shade on it, twist off the finial and screw your camera on. It'll do in a pinch.
For slightly more flexibility, make the initial loop large enough to pass through the eyebolt and over the entire camera. This allows easily removal/attachment of the string without removing the eyebolt (or pulling the entire string through the eye).
Also, consider using a taut line hitch on the eyebolt knot. This type of knot can easily be slid up and down the standing part of the line, but grips tightly when let go. This would allow the user to make a fixed loop for one's foot and perform a quick one-handed adjustment of the knot below the camera just before the shot, then hold the camera with both hands while shooting. The only problem might be that the taut line hitch tends to fall apart when it's not under tension, but once one learns to tie it, it can be recreated in a few seconds. If that's a serious issue for those who are challenged by knot tying, the taut line hitch could be replaced with a mechanical line tensioner, such as shown in another Instructable, http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Line-Tensioners-for-Camping-and-Backpacking/
"Who has a tripod?"
"I do!"
*brings out string tripod*
"A tripod?"
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell any difference between using a single leg, two legs, and no string tripod. I was shooting an image of distant small brances to really test the effect.
In practice, even with two feet anchoring a loop of string, you still have four degrees of freedom (camera body forward/back), plus free rotation about the pivot point at the eye bolt.
In addition to that, if the rope has any elasticity, you have to deal with spring effect as well.
This trick sounds great, but I couldn't tell any difference whatsoever.

My Paladin's name is Aenomaus, which is a misspelled version of Oenomaus which is the Gladiator's trainer or Doctore from the series Spartacus. He had the strength and fighting skill of a Warrior, and the virtues of a Priest or leader. So bam a Holy Warrior or Paladin. 90% of my characters names are randomly generated.

Historically Absnthminded (hence the mmoc account Absintheminded, it's been my go-to tag for probably a decade now), but with my Tauren Pally I had to go with Majinmoo.
First toon was a rogue, name Kenyan. Black human male, engineer. So, with rocket boots and sprint/prep he was always running fast, like Kenyans.
Then rolled a pally (also engineer). Since Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, this would be his name, as he was king of the Kenyans.

Of course every garage varies so my design probably couldn't be copied exactly but hopefully showing how I did will show all the basic concepts behind building a wall and give you a good idea on how to go about this large undertaking should you choose to do so. The total cost of the project was under $400 (that includes holds so if you made your own holds it would be ~220$) and is well worth the investment. An added bonus is the wall has a door that can be opened so it doubles as extra storage space. (or if you dont need storage space but have kids (or you're a kid yourself) you could use the inside as a pretty awesome fort). It really is up to your imagination. But without further adieu we will delve into the finer details of climbing wall design & construction.
Step 1: Brainstorm
After brainstorming I compiled a list of the things I NEEDED my wall to have:
-Large 45 degree overhang for the main climbing area, to be used for strength and endurance training.
-Smaller 90 degree overhang for super intense workouts.
-25 degree lead out from the 90 degree that i could mount a Jacobs ladder to for finger strength training
-A pull up bar
-Access to the inside
And a list of things i WANTED to have:
-A vertical wall just for fun
-A variable angle part
-Some sort of bulge
-Anchors at the top to belay small children
I also instituted a budget of $500 that I didn't want to exceed.
You take all your requirements then go on the the next step DESIGN where you put all this together to make the best wall possible that meets as many of your constraints as possible
I can't find any cheap holds anywhere...
Anyway, ewilhelm, if you're looking to texture it the easy way is just to mix paint and sand.
Nice idea.
Betty and the Silver Spider
And when im traveling I search for gyms on www.indoorclimbing.com
One of my coveted high fives for you
Do you recommend a book or site that teaches how to climb? My children are interested but we're in Ohio and....our "rock wall" was in the mall and they practically pulled the kids up instead of letting them climb. They love to climb trees and such so I was thinking this in our garage...
Thank you for sharing. This was a lovely instructible.

Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
alright first Shaq - now Gasol - I'm in need of a Forward or a Center as well!

In אנא בכח, I've usually said "בָּרְכֵם, טַהֲרֵם, רַחֲמֵי צִדְקָתְךָ תָּמִיד גָמְלֵם". However, in my Artscroll Siddur I noticed it says רחמם (with a ם instead of י). Which of these are correct?

I've heard there are are sources for both, and I hope someone will answer with more info. I'll just copy what Rabbi Yaakov Emden writes in his sidur:

The Bulls after Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
The Orioles after Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie Murray.
The Titans after Air McNair and Eddie George.
These were not good things. These were mostly middling endeavors.
So, how about The SteelDrivers, a Grammy-nominated bluegrass band led by extraordinarily soulful lead singer Chris Stapleton and hard-charging mandolin player/songwriter Mike Henderson? How about those SteelDrivers after Stapleton and Henderson? Who wants to stand in line to bet against these folks?
Not me, at least not after hearing them, onstage and on record. Released Tuesday, Feb. 5, The SteelDrivers' third album, "Hammer Down," features a new lineup. Primary lead vocalist and guitarist Gary Nichols replaces Stapleton, and deft mandolinist Brent Truitt replaces Henderson. Except "replaces" implies replication, and that's not what's happening here.
"You can't sound like the last band," Truitt says. "It's not possible. We don't try."
Yeah, but the last band was great. Why not at least attempt to do the same things that band did? Like when Journey found the new Steve Perry on YouTube? Wasn't that fun?
"Even from the first record to the second, I wasn't interested in replicating what we'd done before," says singing, fiddling, songwriting SteelDriver Tammy Rogers. "To me, that's boring."
No imitation
Boring? That's branding. Do something people like, and then keep doing it. And people liked The SteelDrivers. The safest thing to do is to become your own cover band.
The only hassle is, it's impossible to do what Stapleton and Henderson did. They're musicians with unique skill sets, though Nichols is an Alabama-reared vocalist whose gravelly, emotive voice sounds a lot like Stapleton's.
"I'm Chris' biggest fan, and I've identified with him vocally and as a writer," Nichols says. "We come from similar places, musically."
Truitt and Henderson don't come from similar places, at least in terms of mandolin playing. Henderson throws roundhouse rights, Truitt quick jabs. The successor is more about speed and fluidity than raw force.
Both Nichols and Truitt tend to take more solos than their predecessors, and the band is now more improvisational and jam-oriented. The songs are still, as Rogers and bass player Mike Fleming say, "uneasy listening," with high body counts and plenty of aggression, but the delivery is altered.
"The classic bluegrass groups all experienced change and weathered it, and it was never a huge, career-ending thing," Rogers says, and she's correct. "I wasn't worried about the playing or the singing. My biggest concern was that the material would be there. When we started looking at material, I felt like we needed to keep it within the band. And the band includes Chris and Mike: They'll always be SteelDrivers."
New roles
So Henderson and Stapleton — Jordan and Pippen, Ripken and Murray, McNair and George — contributed songs to "Hammer Down." And Rogers stepped into a captain's role, serving as chief curator in addition to providing compelling fiddling and vocals. Bass man Fleming is the band's pulsing heartbeat, and banjo player Richard Bailey once again proves himself as one of the most adaptable and interesting instrumentalists in bluegrass, melding Earl Scruggs-style picking and chromatic runs into something atypical and idiosyncratic.
"He doesn't play like a normal banjo player," says Rogers, who notes Bailey's upbringing in blues and R&B-happy Memphis.
"I was recording with Al Green when I was still in high school," Bailey says. "I remember going to the studio, hanging with him while I was wearing overalls and a John Deere cap."
Bailey's banjo marries Memphis slink and soul to Nashville precision, and it's an essential component to The SteelDrivers' sound. Of course, I thought Henderson and Stapleton were essential components, and now they're gone.
In truth, they were essential, at least to what The SteelDrivers used to be. The band is different now. Same name, same basic game plan but executed with a different approach that fits the current players and pleases the fan base.
"I feel like the changes have been well-received," Truitt says. "We've not had anything thrown at us."
Chances are, they'd catch whatever gets thrown, anyway.

Who'da thunk it, a cow that pushes a house down a mountain!
Liked the end, where the cow crashes into the family--not sure why the house remains whole after that one, but this is a cartoon where real-world laws of physics should most definitely not apply . . .
Re: The end of the world
Yeah, this is a weird one. It seems to be a good representation of how strange human behavior is....feels similar to when I observe people in the "real" world and start wondering on the what and why of the things they do. Humans are very very strange creatures, which is itself a perpetual understatement.
Re: The end of the world
I believe complex is the word that comes to mind in any discussion revolving around the "strangeness" of human nature.
You know, Skynet, this is what has informed art and artists for centuries. From the prehistoric cave paintings in Lyon to artifacts found in Egypt and Greece and Romania with pictures and symbols illustrating the good and the ill side of human nature, it's simultaneously a fascinating and frustrating conundrum. Examining my own complexities, I am able to use the insights gained from even my own introspection in my works, which I hope to unveil soon.
Even given its frustrations, human nature is a goldmine for storytellers. Arguably, without the "human nature" aspect of storytelling, is there really a story? Sure, one could use the Universe as a basis for a narrative, but that tends to lead to boredom!
Re: The end of the world
I don't know Enoch... I believe there would still be a story without human nature. As far as we know humans may not be the only storytellers in the universe. We are all alone on this microscopic planet and we are ignorant on so many levels. We are most likely one of the smallest of all the stories in the universe itself. That doesn't mean that the smallest parts aren't as important as other parts. Everything must be in existence for some reason, but who's to say what that reason is?
Visuals can also be as strong or stronger than a narrative, and one thing that the universe has an endless supply of is visuals. I don't think I'd get bored of what the universe and beyond has to offer visually. I would say the numbers of mind blowing "stories" and things to see and experience are infinite. Visuals can also tell a story far better than words in many cases. In a single picture you can see the whole story happening all at once. Depending on what's in the picture narrative can be unnecessary and I also mean this with human nature. The one problem with human nature for me is that in reality it ends up being so self destructive. There are lots of beautiful things but in the bigger picture, based on what we continually see happening, humans in general will probably kill themselves and many other living creatures off.
Anyway, I think boredom is a choice that one makes on how they want to feel. Aren't there enough questions and mysteries in life that would keep anyone from getting bored? I'd think so but that's just me.
Re: The end of the world
No, for the most part Skynet I'm in total agreement.
But, something you wrote earlier . . .
And that is why we cannot appreciate existing entities on a suitable or appropriate level. The limitations of our cognitive faculties don't allow for such cosmic considerations. That is what would bring boredom.
I'll be the first to admit, my limits as a human being (to the extent that I'm willing to acknowledge that they exist) cause me to tune out during stories that should rivet me otherwise. And why? My ability to relate to stories of an esoteric or cosmic nature is tied to the tangibility of the entities that serve as the subjects or characters of the stories. I can relate to WALL-E--but what about a substance of unknown origin that slowly materializes into some form, its appearance defying description? It wiles its days away searching for its purpose in the universe before passing away as all (rather, most) living, tangible organisms seem to do. Or maybe it serves its purpose. See, I find it hard to believe anyone would find these sequences of events interesting; harder still to believe that anyone would pay attention long enough to be invested in wanting to care about what happens, or what one could learn from the proceedings.
And that's my point, overall, rambling but ultimately thorough as I could make it.
Re: The end of the world
I think all it takes is opening up the mind to new perceptions. Obviously there's a lot more going on in this world than we could ever hope to understand but if people would let go or be more flexible with their chosen illusions, it would become obvious that everything is not what it seems. Maybe it's laziness. I'm not saying you are. Well, I'm lazy myself when it comes to the kind of discipline it takes to transform and take complete control of the mind and take it to a higher level. I don't think people realize what's possible even when you can stop the uncontrollable mental rambling for just a few minutes or more. It's very hard to do though, especially when you're not yet aware that it is possible to actually control your thoughts and emotions as much as you want. For example, imagine how you could have saved a situation if you were able to instantly catch, hold and transform your anger into a stronger controllable positive energy before it exploded into uncontrollable madness and made you lose what you were fighting to keep. A showing of anger is a sign control that was lost... but that's just the beginning of what I'm ultimately talking about. There's so much undiscovered territory inside our own minds.
I think people should stop their thoughts, observe their minds more and learn about what life is without making any final judgments on what anything really is, because whatever you decide will always be a guess or someone elses guess. True knowledge in the most absolute sense we can experience is an incredibly rare thing that most will never know but a person can only begin to get there with a kind of mental dedication that most of us probably don't have. Everything that exists now in this physical world is temporary and so fragile but we can be timeless inside our minds. We can time travel in our minds to places and states of mind that don't exist now. But people are mostly obsessed with what is in front of their face and ignore the world of their inner mind. I don't understand the conclusions most people come to with reality. Is it to feel safer or smarter? In a hundred years we'll all be gone (most likely) and everything we know and all technology will probably be completely gone or replaced by something else. It's an endless cycle. I'm not saying to not be in the moment. I actually mean it even more so. Be in the moment on multiple levels of awareness simultaneously.
Re: The end of the world
Right on, Skynet.
Also, I think that being on multiple states of awareness is the key to achieving psychological balance, which as many of us are aware, is lacking in today's harried professionals.
Yes, Skynet, I have slipped into the habit of becomingn a lzay thinker, which is why I am often confronmted with dilemmas that make me feel challenged, when all it would take is a bit of inventiveness and creativity--traits I do not lack, yet don't have enough of.
Imagination is the key to free thinking.

On the tag on the rear, does is say 1 and 3 phase?
What power are you looking it up to?
If it is cable of single phase, are you putting the white and black to each 115 v leg?
and isolating the red, green to ground?

With just minutes remaining in the finals for the Billabong Women's Rio Pro in Brazil, Sally Fitzgibbons needed a high seven-point ride to put her on top of Coco Ho. The waves were small -- peaky one- to three-footers -- but Fitzgibbons never lost confidence.
"I just had my fingers crossed and knew there would be one towards the end," she said. "I made a few mistakes and it happens in Finals but I was able to recover there at the end."
She didn't just recover. She hit a blowing lefthander on her backside and scored a 7.93 (out of 10) for a total of 14.10. It was just enough to squeak by Ho, who finished with a 14.03.
"That was so crazy, and Coco had me on the ropes for sure," said Fitzgibbons.
The win solidifies the Australian's no. 2 ranking on the ASP Women's World Championship Tour and closes the gap between her and current no. 1 Stephanie Gilmore, also of Australia.
"This makes the World Title race more interesting, but thinking ahead, it's still pretty far to go," said Fitzgibbons, who also won at Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach in April. "There are still a couple of events, but to get a win, it's an amazing result. To win at Bells too, it's been an awesome year so far."
The waves in Rio de Janeiro had been small throughout the weekend, and Sunday was no different amidst gray skies and rain at Barra da Tijuca.
To reach the finals, Fitzgibbons beat fellow Red Bull surfer Carissa Moore (and last year's champion in Rio) in a close semi-final heat that saw each score big in the waning moments.
"I think we all want to make the Final and it's disappointing," said Moore, who finished third. "I've lost to Sally twice this year and I've just got to keep trying in the next couple of events and that's it."
Moore, who has yet to win in 2012, sits in third with two events remaining. The next stop on the Women's World Championship Tour is Roxy Pro Biarritz from July 10-14, 2012.

The People Have Spoken – Now What?
Posted on November 3, 2010 by Michael Lock — 1 Comment
After voter frustration and disenchantment with Washington, DC seemingly reached a breaking point, Republicans stormed back in the latest election and took control of the House of Representatives. But what does this all really mean? Waggener Edstrom's Michael Lock sits down with Joe Farren, Waggener Edstrom VP of Public Affairs, to discuss what this Republican resurgence means for Democrats and President Obama, trends that will emerge from this new Congress and what key policy issues need to be addressed.

Elon Musk's proposed Hyperloop
Elon Musk is proposing a hyperloop for boats, planes, automobiles, and trains. He states he can deliver a system of train transport from LA to SF in 30 minutes (343 miles) at 685 MPH. He claims this can be done for 6 billion or one tenth of the proposed cost of the high speed rail being considered.
Is this possible .... would you ride this? He says facts will be made available in August 2013.
What do you think of this proposal? Should he be considered for a TED Talk? Would you watch it?
Aug 14 2013: Robert
Elon Musk has proven what can be done with his new NON Fosil fuel cars
He has made the USA car industry " We can't do it " to a new American Can Do Sprite.
His office has advised me that a third generation car is on the drafting table as I speak
Should sell for about 40.000 dollars when released. My reply to his e mail was Please let
me be the first to buy on..........ENOUGH WITH THE OIL CARTEL AND COMPANIES
He has made them look like Fools Greedy Fools , By the way his cars are beautiful.
My best
Lou SisbarroAug 11 2013: Here's a diagram that Elon has said is the closest guess he's seen
It goes along the same lines as my previous link, except with more graphics. This one shows a closed loop between two cities and fans blowing air in the right direction.
I think it doesn't have to be between paired cities.
using the same components, you could have the main tubes extend to multiple cities with on and off ramp decelerators and accelerators. several levels of speed tubes depending on if your stop's coming up.
Air being blown in, so not a vaccuum. 2 meter wide pods, so similar to car size.
Open sourced, crowd funded? mass transport!
Simon Le
Aug 2 2013: I just don't get how they would solve the weather factor (not to mention the huge money ,time, and technical difficulties required to build that). But then again, what the hell do I know, look at the palm island of Dubai as an example.
- +1
Aug 3 2013: It's a tube, so weather wouldn't affect it on the inside, if it's underground, then it's tornado proof, And Elon says it'll only cost 6 billion, which they're currently planning a maglev on the same route for 60 billion. Just getting the first leg of it operational should make it self sufficient and it'll pay for the future extensions.Aug 2 2013: Here's my candidate for what it is, and it does sound safe.
Here is something similar except it works with vacuum tubes, considerably faster and much less safe. but wouldn't it be cool to be able to get to japan in 2 hours, spend the weekend, and get back in time for work on monday. I especially like the idea of piggybacking a worldwide electrical supergrid onto this. In his talk, Bill gates says that solar power is not feasible because if you take every battery ever made and charge it up, they would collectively be able to supply 10 minutes of the world's electrical needs. But the sun is shining somewhere in the world every minute of the day. Why not bypass the whole question of storage? The same infrastructure can also have water pipes piggybacked in.
http://www.gizmag.com/et3-vacuum-maglev-train/21833/Jul 17 2013: The thing that concerns me is the implication that you will travel in isolation from any perseption of speed. Anyone who has ridden a high speed train will know that the slightest track bobbles are more violent the faster you go. These tubes are going to have to be incredibly straight, it's amazing what becomes a noticeable corner at 700mph. The other difficulty I see is maintaining a hard vacuum in a tube that is thousands of kilometres long.
The 1998 Eschede disaster illustrates what happens when a train travelling at 200kmph crashes. One can only imagine what happens at 1000kmph.
Here is an amusing video that demonstrates what would happen to the capsule if the vacuum failed on one side.

Aug 13 2013: This is not in vacuum, and utilizes air cushions. You can hardly get any better suspension.

"Inside the tubes, the pods would be mounted on thin skis made out of inconel, a trusted alloy of SpaceX that can withstand high pressure and heat. Air gets pumped through little holes in the skis to make an air cushion, Musk says. The front of the pod would have a pair of air jet inlets—sort of like the Concorde. An electric turbo compressor would compress the air from the nose and route it to the skis and to the cabin. Magnets on the skis, plus an electromagnetic pulse, would give the pod its initial thrust; reboosting motors along the route would keep the pod moving. And: no sonic boom. With warm air inside the tubes and high tailwinds, the pods could travel at high speeds without crossing the sound barrier. "The pod can go just below the speed of sound relative to the air," Musk says."
It frustrates me these links are not at the homepage of this conversation.
Elon Musks blog:
A good critique:
@ Peter Lindsay - didn't see it was posted three weeks after.. my apoligies.
Aug 14 2013: Your source is dated three weeks after my comment. It's hard to do homework on a paper that doesn't yet exist..Regarding the vacuum. He is still preposing a partial vacuum so you still need to maintain an airtight seal over hundreds of kilometers. Elon does have a bit of a habit of coming up with amazing ideas raising capital and then not quite making it work. And before you say SpaceX, it's a perfect example. Falcon9 has been problematic at best. It's just that the US is so embarassed about having to use Russian rockets thay'll give anything a try.

Jul 16 2013: I would watch his talk. Why not?
- +1
The only time I have heard him was in the interview format with Chris Anderson from TED 2013. http://www.ted.com/talks/elon_musk_the_mind_behind_tesla_spacex_solarcity.htmlAug 16 2013: He should be considered for a TED talk. A very brilliant man and hard working he is. I love his hyper loop idea but I would like to see it expanded further. Why just keep it in the states? Why not there a be a global transportation system that could take us from one country to the next in the blink of an eye? How awesome that would be. We could go anywhere anytime for work or for play. Free to roam all of the lands, like we were meant to do.
Aug 16 2013: He has given a TED talk. Go to speakers and select M. He is the forth on the right.
Bob.Aug 15 2013: And that still means it will just be another toy for the elites. "Suggestions" from nobodies like us will simply be ignored or dismissed.Aug 14 2013: Give the guy his due
for dreaming big.Aug 14 2013: i love it and i also hate it because it'll suffer from the same flaws current transport systems do: they don't run from where you are or to where you need to be. i live in japan right near the shinkansen (bullet train) line, and the whole trip always takes more than double whatever the time on the shinkansen is. last time i took it i went to kyoto - 15 minutes to the station, 10 minutes on the local train to get to the shinkansen station, 10 minute wait for the next shinkansen, 1 hour on it, 10 minute walk and wait to catch the connecting local train, then 15 minute walk from the local station to my event, and it was in the middle of summer. i would've driven if the tickets hadn't already been bought for us all. we can't say "LA to SF" anymore because they aren't single locations. where in LA to where in SF?
we don't need another single line, however fast it goes, until we have an improved transport network. we don't live either near the station or out on a farm like we did last century, so we have to stop thinking the hub and spoke model is adequate.
Aug 14 2013: I agree that we need a better transport network. I read somewhere that for local trains, living more than 1/2 kilometer away diminishes the usage by 90%. So having local trains every 1 km would be ideal, and.... what a surprise the .ideal block size is also 1/2 km...
As far as which has to come first, I'll take whichever gets through the bureaucracy and done first.Aug 15 2013: What we could use within any moderately urbanized area is Personal Rapid Transit (PRT).
PRT generally consists of 4-passenger pods which run along a guideway above, at, or below grade (ground level). Each pod would be air conditioned, feature access to the Internet, and have fold-up seats to accommodate wheelchairs, bikes, or luggage. Furthermore, the pods would operate in one direction on the guideway to help ensure no chance of collision.
The guideway would be set up as a grid, with off-line stations about one-quarter mile apart in any direction. In addition, the guideway itself could also be set up as a utility corridor to enclose communications and power conduits. Also, depending on the climate of the locale, solar panels mounted on the stations and guideways could supply at least some of the power to run the system.
The pods would carry passengers from origin to destination without stopping. Also, passengers would not have to wait (long) for a pod - if at all - as pods could be on standby at the station. In response to large events, pods could be pre-directed to a group of stations to anticipate a sizable crowd. Finally, some pods could be designated to transport freight or supplies.Aug 13 2013: My body is ready.Aug 13 2013: First, it would be very convenient, since at those speeds there will probably be no survivors from an accident, so legal costs would be lower. Dead people cost less than injured people. Second, not one penny of tax money should be used for it, since it will probably just be another luxury indulged in by the privileged (if you make $50,000+ in the USA, you are among the privileged, whether you want to admit it or not).
Aug 13 2013: Have you read the plan?
You can read the whole thing here: (PDF warning)
Safety is discussed pretty well.
Cost is $20, So let's say that whoever gets it done wants to make a better profit, $50 is still much better than driving, flying or rail.
so, minimum round trip of $40 to $100
a. compare with average one-way ticket price of $105 one-way by the proposed rail system so round trip $210
a. Compare with $158 round trip by air for September 2013
b. Compare with $115 round trip by road ($4/gallon with 30 mpg vehicle)
Aug 13 2013: It is better than that. If you can get from LA to SF in 30 minutes then you can also come back the same day. Since you don't need to spend the night or pay for a motel you save another $100. If the roundtrip air ticket is $158 are you doing it all in one day? If not you have to add in the motel. Also, are you taking a taxi to and from the airport or are you paying for parking? Either way another $40.Aug 14 2013: how much for the parking or cab fair to the station and how much for the cab fair from the station to where you actually need to be and back again?
Aug 14 2013: Bikeshare!
Those obstacles are there with planes and trains as well, so in comparison the only option that resolves that is cars, which of course also means sharing the road with reckless human drivers, sacrificing speed, rush hour traffic, and, like Stuart mentions above, the overnight stay if you've got more than just a few hours' work.
Actually, Elon has proposed two options, one of which is able to transport cars as well, so if you need to do a lot of driving at your destination, that's possible too.
I would advocate that more flexible option as it allows for more cargo as well.Aug 14 2013: The big advantage in taking the train over the airplane is that the train station is much more convenient than the airport. This is because airplanes need runways and all they entail. This system that Elon musk is talking about doesn't need a runway and should be able to link to a mass transit system easily. Therefore in NYC just take the subway (no taxi, no parking, and not a lot of bags). This would also be true of Washington D.C. and Boston. So, if he set up a tube from NYC to Boston, or NYC to Washington DC it would be much more convenient than an airplane.
Initially they will probably be linking cities like this, around 200 miles apart with a high volume of traffic. I would also expect the tube to link to mass transit, either a major train station or bus station.Aug 14 2013: $20? Sorry, but there have been many days when I could not afford that, and I've always been employed. It will be a toy of the elite, another way to separate out and exclude the underclass.
Aug 15 2013: A large proportion of the world can't afford $20 one way, yet it is the cheapest fast mass transit proposed. The plan's only just been proposed and does include features that may not be necessary like personal TV screens. I say we take the proposal and suggest changes to make it viable for more people.Aug 5 2013: I would be interested in hearing a lot more about the proposal. This is a man who revolutionized payments and online transactions with PayPal, sent private rockets into space with SpaceX including contracts from NASA, and has brought an electric car to market with Tesla, the first to receive a consumer reports 100/100 rating. All by the age of 42 with 5 children. I would be all eyes and ears for a TED Talk. Our rail lines are getting ancient and we are far behind other countries in high speed rail. This could be a great project. I am specifically interested in how it could be safe going through earthquake zones.Jul 30 2013: From What I gather, it's a tube. with moving air in it, so that means it can never pass the speed of sound. Air cushioning eliminates the probability of collisions,
it leaves when you want it to: so not a train on a schedule. Car size capsules that the computer could integrate into the flow of traffic.
Cheap. If this savings in cost translates to lower prices than driving your own car, then very appealing for long distances. saves way more than airfare.
I've been waiting on pins and needles for the announcement in August. I have watched his ted interview with Chris Anderson, and loads of his other TV appearances.
And I've already got a worldwide route planned for it. It's just gotta get built!!!Jul 26 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5NyBO75YYc
Now I'm even more concerned about travelling at 1000kmph in a tube train.Jul 23 2013: It would have to be encased because the air drag would force it to use more power for smaller added speed. 685 MPH creates one heck of a lot of drag. I think around 300 MPH is the efficient limit for travel through air.
If its initial speed were zero and it took 2 minutes to reach 686 MPH, then we can assume it would take that amount of time to slow down, adding 4 minutes. to the 30 minutes or 34 minutes for the trip. It's average speed would only be around 605 MPH. I'd need more information to answer the question Robert.
Jul 23 2013: Me too. He said he would provide details in August.
Thanks for the reply.Jul 19 2013: This is interesting but sadly my net is capped so, until it turns over i'am a little hamstrung. It would have to be tubed or underground.If it's tubbed then as my downunder compadre has stated it would have to be sealed, i wonder if a gas is used in the tube? How many acceleration points would it take to get an object up to 685 MPH (I've never been on a bullet train) before one can just coax it along? Or does one even need to stage acceleration?
If they are thinking of using the latest superconductive material created then they would have to use a coolant for the track? Otherwise they might be upgrading it as soon as it is operational. I don't think the race for Zero G is that far along or the industry can produce a vast amount of a material at this time. Interesting.Jul 17 2013: Better luck than Senator Reid is having with his pet project bullet train from LA to Vegas.

My brother loves him as he got the RR to move where they parked the train on the tracks so it did not interfere with the deer migration, which in turn effected my brothers deer hunt. Other than that Harry Reid smells...
Comment deletedJul 17 2013: Hope I live to see its fruition. Magnetic levitation is definitely the most efficient transportation bar none. Automobiles and planes are already obsolete and wasteful. Eventually maglev will be the solution for both local and long distance travel. Both public and private "car" systems will be available. Imagine a world without traffic lights, stop signs, accidents, tickets, DUI, hit and runs, vehicular manslaughter, uninsured drivers, auto theft, traffic jams, flat tires, breakdowns, gas prices, insurance, pollution, road kill, streetlights, street signs, cement roads, or wasted real estate. The elevated system will be virtually impervious to all current weather delays. Isolation, desperation and desolation are reduced. Increased pedestrian activity aids in our overall health and social interactions, strengthening communities. Opportunity to read a book, text, meet somebody new, surf the internet, conduct business, daydream, etc. I am video producer, and would love the opportunity to create marking videos for this wonderful idea! www.sflvideo.comJul 16 2013: With superconductors super fast trains would be possible, and they would spend less fuel than conventional trains. Such trains have actually already been implemented in other cities and work wonderfully. And with advancements in technology, I believe it only a matter of time before these superconductors can operate at room temperatures and beyond, which will remove the necessity of cooling and lower costs even more. I would definitely ride these trains, knowing that I'm moving super fast, yet at the same time sitting comfortably in a chair. As for planes and boats I sadly do not know, but something similar could probably be applied to automobiles as well.Jul 16 2013: I think that is what we have leaders for so I would make it mandatory for Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Vilagrosa, Willie Brown, et. al.
As I say to all leaders: I will behind you all the way. In other words YOU take point.Jul 16 2013: I would definitely ride it. The convenience and benefits completely outweigh the risks.
The proposal seems to be a fairly confident one, and Elon Musk is pretty smart; if anyone can make this happen, he can.
He should be considered for a TED Talk because the more publicity this gets, the more the public can give this serious consideration. After all, "the $60 billion bullet train they're proposing in California would be the slowest bullet train in the world at the highest cost per mile. They're going for records in all the wrong ways."
Aug 15 2013: Though it appears that those in charge of the high-speed rail project are not going to halt or alter their plans, I have been thinking for some time that we need to pass over the "high-speed rail" stage and move on to Maglev.
Perhaps Musk's proposal will gain enough traction to at least bring about some further consideration.

Despite the fifty shades of red, white and blue on display, the screams inside the Olympic Stadium were simply the outpourings of support from 80,000 people who had come out to watch Our Greatest Team. In the process they showed me personally, Team GB and most importantly the rest of the world, that Britain really does have the best supporters in the world.
I felt incredibly proud to be a part of Team GB for a home Games. Whilst all of the athlete interviews from all the sports may have lent the "crowd were incredible" sentiment an air of cliché, that is simply because there is no way to describe how it felt. It was and still is, impossible to describe the wall of noise, the electric atmosphere of anticipation, or the feeling of pulling on the British vest. But suffice it to say, as a country we showed everything that is Great about Britain.
After the tribulations I mentioned in the previous blog, I arrived in the village ready to go, and to soak up the atmosphere. I moved into our apartment with Chris Tomlinson, Robbie Grabarz, Andrew Osagie and Ross Murray, where I was sharing a room with Chris Thompson.
Day one of athletics arrived, and it was finally time to don the vest in anger. It was a usual race day of nervous waiting, coupled with an air of "is this real" and "s***, this is the Olympics!". Time slipped by and suddenly I was at the warm up track, where I can only really describe the atmosphere as the calm before the storm. By this point we all knew this wasn't a normal major championships – watching a full stadium roar Jess on to a world heptathlon best in the hurdles in the morning session made sure of that! I had a walk around the warm up track with my coach, and then lay down for a quick read to clear my head. Stretching, then a very early jog as we had to contend with an unusually long 50 minute call time. I did a few easy strides, grabbed my spike bag and headed into final call.
For once, all the officials were speaking English, which was strangely comforting. For anyone wondering what goes on in there – our bags are checked to make sure spikes are the right length and that no one has an iPod or phone, or any branding that's not allowed. The call room is basically a big room with dividing walls separating it into pens so that each heat is segregated from the others. Plain walls, and eerily quiet as each athlete goes through their routine. There is the occasional bit of banter to break the tension, and the officials try to stop any jogging around. Then it was time for the long walk through the tunnel to the main stadium – 8 minutes of walking in silence feels like a long way. We were given our front name bibs with transponders attached (which provide 100m splits for all the distance athletes), leg numbers and it was time for spikes and a few strides on the short straight under the stands.
Then it was time for one of the most incredible moments of my life. We came out from underneath the stands in single file, and there was a surge of deafening noise spreading outwards as the crowd spotted the Team GB colours. If I thought that was loud, I was in for a rude awakening as my name was announced on the start line. If I had clapped my hands in front of my face I wouldn't have been able to hear it. The sound had such a physical positivity, that I felt taller, I felt lighter. Then we were off, and despite tripping with 120m to go, I felt great and qualified in an automatic spot.
After crossing the line, in a mixture of excitement and relief, there was a brief chance to soak up the atmosphere and to acknowledge the crowd before hiking back to the warm up track via the longest ever mixed zone! A quick warm down and the chance to talk to my coach whilst getting a massage, then I hopped on the bus back to the village. I went straight into the (6000 seater) dining hall before heading back to Team GB medical HQ for an ice bath.
Fast forward less than 24 hours, and I'm sitting with the guys in our apartment in the village with no idea of what's about to happen. Super Saturday. Need I say more. We watched three of our friends and teammates win the biggest prize in world sport, it was incredible. So incredible that I had to take myself out for a walk around the village to calm down and relax before trying to get some sleep before my own Olympic semi-final.
So then it was my turn again, it was Sunday, with much the same routine as Friday. I was drawn in the second semi-final, which was made up of 13 athletes after the reinstatement of Nixon Chepseba who had stumbled in his heat. First 5 athletes from each semi would qualify automatically, with the next 2 fastest overall also progressing. I felt good in the warm up, nervous but ready to go. Then we got out on the track and the noise hit me again, I've run out of superlatives for the way that it made me feel.
The gun went, and the rest is a blur. The pace felt incredibly fast, but what was not necessarily obvious was that it was fluctuating – always the toughest way to run. Not only was the pressure applied at the front inconsistent (by an obviously keen-to-stay-out-of-trouble Chepseba), but the rest of us were scrapping for position and doing our best to avoid stumbles and fallers. I felt like I was going as hard as I could go right from the gun, and when I knew that I really needed to move up through the field I was already at my red-line and just couldn't make it happen. I ran hard to the line but finished in an agonising 8th place – 7th place 0.4s ahead of me qualified for the final.
How I felt back at the warm up track is perhaps the most difficult thing to explain. The event that I had been training for over the last four years was over, and I was one place away from a second consecutive Olympic final. Obviously I was disappointed, but it wasn't quite as simple as that. The closest word I can think of is empty. It was a case of "ok, well what now?". There's no urgency to recover, to get an early night or to think about training again. Perhaps lost is also appropriate.
Another reason for such complicated emotions was my own constantly shifting goal posts. Four years ago I was confident of competing for a medal in London. A smattering of small injuries over the next few years meant that it wasn't quite so straightforward, and as I mentioned in the previous blog, at the end of 2011 I wasn't even sure I would make the team. But so consistent was my training from September 2011, by the time I ran a PB over 3000m in May 2012, I knew that I was back at my best – stronger and faster than in 2008. But, also as per the previous blog, my four week lead in to the games was far from perfect, and even if only subconsciously, the goal posts moved again.
Yes, I was disappointed not to have a chance to compete for a medal, but I was also (and perhaps more importantly) proud to have fought my own demons and won, and to have represented Team GB on the biggest stage of all.

|The Pie and Pastry Bible
by Rose Levy Beranbaum (Scribner/Simon & Schuster)
The following Pie Advice and Pie Pointers excerpts are from Rose Levy Beranbaum's cookbook, The Pie and Pastry Bible. Great advice from an accomplished baker equals an outstanding pie!
Pie Advice:
Do not glaze the top of a pie. Although it will make the pie look shiny and very appealing, it seals in moisture and keeps the dough from breathing. It makes a tough crust. A light dusting of sugar is the one exception.
Seal the bottom crust of the pie. Rose obliterates "soggy bottom" by brushing the bottom crust with egg white, sieved preserves for extra flavor or melted chocolate for the most effective moisture-proofing of all.
For certain juicy pies (peach, nectarine-raspberry), bake the pie directly on the floor of the oven for a truly crispy bottom crust.
The food processor method for making pie crusts is the easiest. It is faster than mixing by hand, and because the dough is handled less, it keeps the ingredients more chilled.
In fruit pies, berries become bitter when cooked. The solution is to bind uncooked berries with a glaze or cook only 1/4 of the berries and the remainder uncooked.
Slice apples thinly for apple pie. Thick slices promote air space and create a gap between the fruit and the crust.
For the purest flavor in fruit pies, macerate the fruit, capture the juices, and boil and reduce the liquid. The will decrease the amount of thickener and create more intense, focused flavor and a juicy filling.
If your house is for sale, have an apple pie baking when prospective buyers tour. This will speed the sale.
One tablespoon of cider vinegar relaxes pie dough and makes it easier to roll. It will not diminish the crust's flakiness but will diminish shrinkage as it bakes.
Butter dulls the flavor of fruit (with the exception of apples). Leave all the butter in the crust when baking fruit pies.
Pie Pointers:
Pointers for Success for Making Flaky Pie Crusts:
Use the correct flour. It is practically impossible to make a flaky crust or even one that holds together using cake flour and equally difficult to make a tender crust using unbleached all-purpose or bread flour.
If using baking powder, be sure not to use SAS baking powders, which contain sodium aluminum sulfate, or the crust will have a bitter aftertaste. Use an all-phosphate product containing calcium acid phosphate, such as Rumford, available in some supermarkets and most health food stores.
If not weighing the flour, use the dip and sweep method: Lightly stir the flour, then dip the cup into the flour and sweep off the excess with a metal spatula or knife.
Brush off any excess flour on top of the dough after shaping it, as it will taste bitter after baking.
Pointers for Success for Fruit Pies:
If making the pie to eat the day after baking, decrease the cornstarch by 1 teaspoon.
Use dark heavy metal, ceramic, or Pyrex pie plates for the crispest crust.
For the flakiest crust with the most attractive border, preheat the oven for at least 20 minutes before baking.
For a crisp bottom crust, try baking directly on the floor of the oven for the first 30 minutes of baking, or on an oven stone set on the bottom rack.
The pie's juices must be bubbling thickly all over to ensure that all of the cornstarch can absorb liquid and thicken the filling.
Single-crust pies need to have the edges protected from over browning after the first 15 minutes of baking; double-crust pies, after 30 minutes.
If the top of the pie is browning too much, tent it with foil, but be sure to make a steam hole in the center for moisture to escape so the crust stays crisp.
Allow the pie to cool on a rack to room temperature, or until barely warm, before slicing to ensure that the filling is set and will not run. This will take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the thickness of the pie.
If you spray the pie pan lightly with nonstick vegetable shortening before lining it with the pastry, or if you grease and flour it, it is usually possible to slide out and unmold the whole pie after it has cooled completely. This makes cutting it easier and is better for both the knife and the pie plate! Greasing and flouring also gives a pleasant, slightly rough texture to the bottom crust.

WebMD Medical News
Daniel J. DeNoon
Reviewed by
Michael W. Smith, MD
Nov. 10, 2010 -- Would doctors help patients die if they asked? Would they have sex with a patient? Would they cover up a mistake that harmed a patient?
These are three of 21 tough ethical questions answered by more than 10,000 doctors in a Medscape survey released today. Medscape is WebMD's web site for medical professionals.
"What came through loud and clear in the survey is that by and large, doctors try to do what they believe is right," Steven Zatz, MD, executive vice president for WebMD Professional Services, says in a news release.
What's also clear is that doctors don't all agree on what is right.
For example, when asked if doctor-assisted suicide should ever be allowed, 41% gave a definitive "no" while 59% said "yes" or "it depends."
The survey kicks off Medscape's special series on medical ethics. Leading bioethics experts will weigh in on why the doctors answered the way they did -- and what this means for the future of medicine.
"Today's doctors face more frequent and more complex bioethical dilemmas than in former times," Thomas H. Murray, PhD, says in the news release. Murray is president of The Hastings Center, a bioethical research center in Garrison, N.Y.
The poll sampled doctors from a broad range of medical specialties, including pediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, surgery, oncology, women's health, and family medicine.
Below is a sample of the survey results, with some typical -- and conflicting -- comments from doctors who answered the poll. You can see The full survey results here.

Recipe by Heatherbee
"This is great as a party appetizer or a full meal. Tasty, full of flavor and good for you. The crunchy crust is what I really like! You can play with the veggie toppings and cheeses for a great meal that is fast and delicious! Our favorite quick meal!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (6 ounce) tub
sun-dried tomato pesto
6 (6 inch)
whole wheat pita breads
roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch
spinach, rinsed and chopped
fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup
crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons
olive oil
ground black pepper to taste
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Never thought I'd be one of those reviewers who would say "if I could give this 10 stars, I would"...but now I am!!! My only substitution was grilled chopped marinated chicken in place of the mushrooms. I used a whole wheat pita, fresh picked roma's and a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella after baking. I've made *hundreds* of recipes from this site and this is now my favorite....so far ;)
I made this with regular pesto but used all the ingredients that it said to use. To me it was too bland, definitely needs more spices and salt!

I have been making variations on this for years. Great with plain pesto; I use sundried tomatoes which are great, and often add artichokes and sweet red peppers too. It's so quick and easy and always a hit, both as a meal and as an appetizer. You can also make it with a tortilla base. It helps to bake the base a few minutes before putting on the toppings.
I made this exactly according to the recipe (probably a first for me). It turned out perfectly. Everyone loved it - even the kids ate it, and didn't even pick off the mushrooms!
You really need to pile the spinach on - it will look quite high - but it wilts and condenses a lot.
My only suggestion would be to change the name - something like "Grilled Flatbread with Spinach and Feta" has a cooler name that captures the Mediterranean feel of this recipe a lot better :)
We didn't have roasted tomato pesto, so we substituted regular pesto for it, and added bottled roasted tomatoes and it still came out great. Excellent recipe and very easy to make.
Delicious. The recipe doesn't tell you what to do with the tomatoes, so I just added them after the spinach but before the cheese. Go very heavy on the spinach; it shrinks up a lot!!
Loved them! I had to use regular pesto and could only get onion pitas--bad day at the grocery store. We ate these for dinner and agreed they're a definite make again. There's room for a lot of experimentation, too. If you turn the pitas upside down, it makes a little bowl that helps to keep all the toppings in. Makes the crust crispy, too.
Very nice my family enjoyed. it was both fun and easy to make! if you put the pita in for 17 minutes it becomes crunchy

En español | By the time we hit 50, most of us could benefit from a wardrobe reevaluation.
Our bodies, faces and lifestyles have changed over the decades. However, our fashion choices haven't always kept up.
Sign up for the AARP Leisure Newsletter — and get movie reviews, great games and more delivered to you every month
But do we need hard-core rules? Actress Ellen Barkin famously declared in O, The Oprah Magazine that women over 50 should never wear blue jeans to dinner. I (and my 7 For All Mankind jeans) beg to differ.
Forget the rules! We just need a few guidelines to great style and answers to questions about how to get it.
Below is a master list of go-to pieces for women who want to fight the frump and look smart, energetic, youthful and appropriate. You can wear these basics to work, out to dinner and anywhere else:
1. Dark denim, mid-rise, boot-cut jeans
The boot-cut hem leaves room for booties (a footwear option for almost every occasion).
TIP: Keep length about 1/8-inch off the floor (depending on the shoe), and make sure the jeans fit well (with a little stretch) in butt and hips. Take the waist in, if necessary.
2. Dark denim, mid-rise, straight-leg jeans
Skip the tight skinny jeans (unflattering on most of us), and get these in dark blue, with no fading or whiskering. Pair with flat ballet slippers, moccasins, loafers or kitten heels, and tuck them into tall boots in cooler weather.
3. White jeans (boot-cut or straight-leg)
In warmer weather, wear with wedge sandals and tunic tops or a crisp navy jacket and white tank. When it gets cooler, pair with brown or black boots and a sweater or jacket, and a pretty scarf.
TIP: Be sure to wear underwear that matches your skin color with any white pant.
4. Great-fitting pants
Look for a lightweight wool blend (wool/Lycra is best) in black, charcoal or navy. The cut of the pants is crucial and the length must be exact. Take your shoes to the store (and to the tailor, if necessary) to get a perfect fit.
TIP: Wear with a silky blouse, a T-shirt or a tank with a cardigan or jacket. Look for pants made by Theory, Tahari, Joseph, Banana Republic, J. Crew or Ann Taylor in prices starting at about $60.
5. Black fitted jacket
Short and snug (not tight) jackets that hit at the hips are a great look. Black is most versatile, but consider navy and cream, too. Wear it with jeans, skirts, dresses, pants — everything.
TIP: Wear tanks, T's and jewel-colored blouses underneath, and check out some of the longer, less-fitted options to wear with skinny jeans. Some to try are from Theory, Tahari, Ann Taylor, DKNY, Chico's and Target, in prices starting at about $50.

Long guides Bucs to 2-1 win over Lipscomb
Requires Adobe Flash
John Long
Saturday, April 09, 2011
, Tenn. (April 8, 2011)
- Junior
John Long
(Anderson, S.C.) was phenomenal on the mound for the ETSU baseball team as he stymied the Lipscomb offense in a 2-1 win Friday night at Cardinal Park in game one of the series.
Long improved to 3-3 on the season for the Bucs (18-9. 9-5 A-Sun) as he limited the Bisons (11-19, 3-7 A-Sun) to one run on five hits in 8.0 innings with two strikeouts and three walks.
Bo Reeder
(Cookeville, Tenn.) picked up his 11
save of the season in the game tying the ETSU single season record set by Caleb Moore in 2005. Reeder was also one of three Buccaneers to have multiple hits on the night leading the way with a home run and two RBI.
Blake Fonfara was tabbed with the loss after giving up two runs on six hits in 5.0 innings of work with four strikeouts and three walks, while Logan Hostettler was a perfect 3-for-3 with a walk.
The Bisons got things going in the top of the first as M.L. Williams came in to score from second on a single by T.J. Hoelzer that caromed off of the foot of Long into left field to make the score 1-0.
In the bottom half of the frame,
Matthew Scruggs
(Knoxville, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single up the middle. Reeder then hammered the 1-0 pitch over the right field fence in the next at-bat to give the Bucs a 2-1 advantage. Later in the inning,
Dylan Pratt
(Johnson City, Tenn.) looked to score from second on a
Kerry Doane
(Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) singled to right, but a strong throw from Lee Wilson would beat Pratt to the plate as he would be tagged out by Hostettler to end the inning.
Both pitching staffs would settle in for the next seven innings as neither team would be able to scratch across a run.
Lipscomb threatened in the top of the ninth as the Bisons would have runners on first and third with one out after back-to-back singles by Wilson and Hostettler, but Reeder got the next two batters to strike out swinging to end the contest.
The Bucs return to action tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. as they face the Bisons in game two of the series. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Series: The Wonder of the Universe (3 entries)
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.

June 2, 2011 -- The number of people living with HIV continues to rise. That's mainly because of highly effective drugs that allow people infected with HIV to live longer, healthier lives, the CDC says.
But another reason is that prevention efforts and educational programs have helped reduce infections, CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH, says in a news release. That news release, dated June 2, 2011, marks 30 years since the first report of the illness that came to be known as AIDS was published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).
The CDC says in its MMWR dated June 3 that highly active antiretroviral therapy is effective and that the death rate of people infected with HIV has declined dramatically over the past two decades.
But the AIDS crisis is not over, and Frieden says more resolve is needed to end this epidemic.
The new report says that every year about 50,000 U.S. residents are infected with HIV. Half of the newly infected are men who have sex with men. And nearly half are African-American.
In the latest MMWR, CDC researchers say 1.17 million people in the United States are living with the virus and about 20% do not know they are infected.
Among key findings:
According to the CDC, at the end of 2008, 75% of people living with HIV were men, and 65.7% of them were men who have sex with men.
HIV prevalence rates among African-Americans were about eight times that of whites. HIV prevalence rates for Hispanics or Latinos were about 2.5 times that of whites.
Among other key findings:
Testing can now detect HIV as early as nine days after infection.
Highly active antiretroviral therapy has been effective in allowing people to live longer with HIV.
However, late diagnosis is all too common. In 2008, the CDC says 33% of newly diagnosed HIV cases developed AIDS within a year. These people were likely infected with HIV 10 years prior to the diagnosis, on average. During this time period, they missed opportunities for medical care.
Frieden says in the news release that far too many Americans still underestimate their risk of infection or think HIV is no longer a serious health threat. But he says it is imperative that Americans understand that HIV is incurable and that most infections today are occurring among people under 30, a generation "that has never known a time without effective HIV treatments and who may not fully understand the significant health threat HIV poses."
He says that advances in HIV prevention hold promise for reducing new infection.
