Linear antenna directed along z, photons (EM waves) propagate along x. Momentum of photons have only x component. Why electrons in antenna have z component of momentum?
Photons are quanta of electromagnetic waves which are transverse so if the momentum of the photon goes in the $x$-direction, then the magnetic and electric fields are in the transverse $yz$-plane, for example $B$ may be in the $y$ direction and $E$ may be in the $z$ direction. Because the electric field accelerates charged particles in the same (or opposite) direction, electrons will be accelerated in the $z$ direction as well.
If the wave is unpolarized, about 50 percent of its energy will be composed of the wave above and 50 percent will be composed of the other way where the directions of $B,E$ are interchanged. This other wave won't be able to shake the electrons.
The electrons in the antenna are moving perpendicular to the direction of motion of the emitted radiation. This is natural for a transverse wave. Since light is a transverse wave, as shown by Luboš Motl's beautiful graphic, there's nothing surprising here.
Maybe interesting for some to take this a bit further:
This classical behavior goes all the way down to single cycle laser pulses which ionize atoms by accelerating them in the direction transverse to the motion of the laser pulse. Make sure to look at the very interesting (Realplayer) video...
Why is this behavior still classical?
(1) Because in this case even the single cycle of the ultrashort laser pulse has a wavelength much longer as the size of the field of the (bounded) electron.
(2) The single cycle laser pulse kicks the electron in one direction.
When, how and why do we get quantum mechanical Compton scattering effects?
When: Mainly if the wavelength of radiation becomes smaller (e.g. x-ray) as the volume in which the electron is contained.
How: The electron gets kicked in the direction parallel to the momentum of the photon.
Why: The electron can self-interfere when going from an initial state $\psi_i$ to a final state $\psi_f$. The interference current is a sinusoidal pattern of alternating charge and spin density with the same wavelength and direction as the incoming photon. The direction of the electron spin is essential in the interaction because it is the effective current from the alternating spin density which is the source of an alternating transverse electromagnetic field which compensates the electromagnetic field of the incoming photon: The photon is absorbed. Finally, the state of the electron after absorbing the photon isn't that of a free electron and another transition takes place under the emission of an outgoing photon which leaves the electron in a free (on-the-mass-shell) state. The math which describes these processes corresponds to the tree-level Feynman diagrams of the interaction
Regards, Hans
There are 2 different effects of the EM waves:
If the EM wave propagates along x direction and your antenna is along the z direction, then electrons will be driven along the antenna by the electric field. On the other hand, the antenna will also receive an overall impact (momentum) along the x direction because of the radiation pressure (which does not affect the antenna practically since its effect is tiny and the antenna is fastened).
It is also worth pointing out that there are 2 descriptions of radiation:
The quantum description is more general. Both pictures are identical only in the limit of so many photons. Electromagnetic waves can be described in terms of photons, but individual photons cannot be described in terms of electromagnetic waves. Photons description is more fundamental.

Jack WhiteŌĆÖs "Blunderbuss" will be formally released in its entirety on April 23. But White is streaming it for fans right now on iTunes. If you like what you hear, you can pre-order it on the spot. ŌĆśBlunderbussŌĆÖ features a total of 13 tracks and is being released on the singerŌĆÖs own Third Man Records/XL Records. White produced the album himself.
The lead single, "Love Interruption" was released last month and it certainly doesnŌĆÖt disappoint. White teams up with Ruby Amanfu, a singer from Nashville. The result is exactly what I would have hoped for it to be. Gritty. Beautiful. Quirky.
In classic Jack White style, Third Man Records premiered the track "Freedom at 21″ by launching 1,000 flexi-disc records attached to helium balloons. They were set free from the labelŌĆÖs headquarters in Nashville on April 1.
Not surprisingly, some of those flexi-discs reportedly landed right on ebay, where they were being sold for up to $3,000. Ahhh…capitalism.
Jack White is considered by many to be one of the most prolific artists to come along in decades. The Detroit native, the youngest of ten children, was one half of The White Stripes. Formed in 1997, the band erupted onto the music scene in 2001. They made music for over a decade until they officially ended their musical union in 2011.
The band was known for using the color combination of black, white and red in their live shows and artwork. When asked by Rolling Stone Magazine during a 2005 interview if those were always his favorite colors, White gave the following response:
"After I apprenticed as an upholsterer for a few years, I opened my own shop, Third Man Upholstery. Everything was yellow, black and white. All my power tools were yellow and black. I had a yellow van. I ran my business like a cartoon. I was making out bills in crayon and writing poetry inside people's furniture. I didn't care if I made any money. I was so happy to pull up in front of someone's house wearing a yellow-and-black uniform, with a yellow clipboard. But the White Stripes' colors were always red, white and black. It came from peppermint candy. I also think they are the most powerful color combination of all time, from a Coca-Cola can to a Nazi banner. Those colors strike chords in people. In Japan, they are honorable colors. When you see a bride in a white gown, you immediately see innocence in that. Red is anger and passion. It is also sexual. And black is the absence of all that."
Jack White is a master of expression through words and music. That's why he's one of my favorite musicians. That…and my favorite number is three.

November 5, 2013
Researchers at NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development have teamed up with three autistic adults to launch a web site that provides resources aimed at instilling self-advocacy and self-esteem skills among adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The site, www.projectkeepitreal.com, is part of the "Keeping It Real" project, a partnership between NYU Steinhardt's ASD Nest Support Project and three autistic adults—Jesse Saperstein, Zosia Zaks, and Dr. Stephen Shore—working in the ASD community.
The site includes three modules, developed by Saperstein, Zaks, and Shore, that can be used in middle schools to nurture students' self-esteem and foster critical self-advocacy skills. These modules are composed of videos, PowerPoint presentations, classroom lessons, and follow-up activities that highlight the presenters' experiences and expertise with both students and their teachers.
The modules focus on three discrete areas: adopting measures to stand up to bullying; channeling interests into social and vocational opportunities; and articulating needs and problem-solving with members of their community.
"These resources embody the project's mission—empowering autistic individuals to take the lead in educating others about their experience," said Kristie Patten Koenig, Ph.D., NYU Steinhardt associate professor of occupational therapy and project director of the "Keeping It Real" campaign.
"A strength-based approach, rather than one that centers on remediating weaknesses, offers the most promising avenue for successfully addressing these challenges," added Koenig, chair of NYU Steinhardt's Department of Occupational Therapy.
Supported by the FAR Fund and a $25,000 grant from Autism Speaks, the "Keeping It Real" project works in conjunction with the ASD Nest Support Project at NYU's Metrocenter to develop strength-based models, services, and programs for middle-school children in the ASD Nest program, a New York City Department of Education program that educates children with ASD in inclusive classrooms alongside their peers.
As part of the project, the three ASD self-advocates traveled to participating ASD Nest schools educating teachers, staff, and middle school students on how to incorporate lessons of anti-bullying, self-advocacy, and the use of individual strengths and talents into the classroom and everyday school settings.

We are cooking with Chef Karel Anne. Keeps the smiles all day! A little dessert made with these beautiful apples of autumn is just right for a little cold snap. These warm apple slices are delicious with the combination of cinnamon, whipped topping, and a crisp gingersnap cookie.
Chef Karel Anne
Cinnamon Simmered Apples with Cream
Serving Size : 6
3 Granny Smith apples -- Cored and sliced 1/2" rounds water
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup butter
2 Tablespoons brandy -- flavored
1 Tablespoon orange zest
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 ounces caramel topping -- in a squeeze bottle
6 Tablespoons whipped topping, pressurized
6 gingersnap cookies
1. Core and slice apples with six round slices per apple. Immerse in lemon water until ready to prepare.
2. Melt butter in a large flat skillet. Stir in the brandy and orange zest. Heat to a low simmer. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
3. Preparing in batches, add the apple slices in one layer to the butter mixture. Simmer for about a minute until the apple surface appears bumpy. Turn over and add one short tap of cinnamon. Simmer for a little over a minute. Remove to a rack to allow to drain.
4. When all apples are complete, draw a five pointed star in the middle of the plate. Place three apple slices on top, so the points of the star are still showing. Squeeze whipped topping in the hole made by the apple core. Stand one gingersnap in the whipped topping and serve.

In the thirties and forties, the Indian actor known as Sabu (born Selar Shaik) captured the hearts of moviegoers in Britain and the United States as a completely new kind of big-screen icon. Sabu was a maharaja's elephant driver when he was discovered by documentary trailblazer Robert Flaherty, who cast him as the lead in Elephant Boy, a Kipling adaptation Flaherty directed with Zoltán Korda that would prove to be enormously popular. Sabu went on to headline a series of fantasies and adventures, transcending the exoticism projected onto him by commanding the screen with effortless grace and humor. This series collects three of the lavish productions Sabu starred in for the British film titans the Korda brothers: Elephant Boy, the colonialist battle adventure The Drum, and the timeless Jungle Book.

In the fall of 2013, around Thanksgiving time, the A.R.E. Board of Trustees and members of the A.R.E. staff began working with some of the concepts of "prosperity" that can be found in the Edgar Cayce readings. The group chose to watch their experiences for the month of December to see if Cayce's suggestions relating to economic healing would have a measurable impact (both in their personal lives and for A.R.E. as a whole). The group used a daily affirmation as a reminder to keep their thoughts on the principles of prosperity.
The A.R.E. Board of Trustees (November, 2013)
This project was based on previous economic healing and prosperity projects that have come from the readings. Some of the exercises and disciplines undertaken by various groups and individuals have included the following:
(See the Edgar Cayce series book Spiritual Healing for Personal Prosperity)
Cayce's premise is that any economic challenge faced by an individual is inextricably connected to a personal lesson or an opportunity to apply spiritual or universal laws in everyday life. Rather than seeing financial hardships as some sort of punishment or mistakenly assuming that the experience of poverty can somehow make someone more "spiritual," the Cayce readings suggest that, when seen correctly, the process of achieving economic healing can embody a worthwhile experience in personal growth.
Good Harvest
Because of the overwhelming positive experiences with the project – most notably the ability to maintain an awareness of our ongoing connection to spirit—the supply source of all that exists, the board has decided to continue their experiment and is inviting anyone interested to participate as well. If you would like to participate, in addition to some of the practices listed above, you may wish to focus on an affirmation like the following for a few minutes each day:
In the name of the Christ Spirit (or the Divine Spirit), I am thankful for all that I have been provided. I choose to be a good steward of all the abundance that flows to and through me. I also affirm and appreciate all the abundance that flows to the A.R.E., enabling the organization to help people change their lives for the better in many different ways. Amen.
If you participate in the project for several weeks or more and have any experiences you feel are connected to your participation, please send them to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. If we decide to use some of these experiences in an upcoming article, all names will be kept in the strictest confidence.

Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. blog offers opinion pieces from contributors with a wide variety of backgrounds. These opinions are valued and create points of discussion. Opinions expressed in our blog may not necessarily represent the opinion of A.R.E.

WALNUT CREEK - While it's still early in the process, the man monitoring Ohio's oil and gas industry for JobsOhio says "it looks promising."
"A lot of good things have happened in the last 12 months, it looks promising," said David Mustine, general manager of energy, chemical and polymers for JobsOhio. "But we do know it's still early. We have 18 rigs in our state right now - by comparison, West Virginia has had about 20 for some time now. Pennsylvania is down some, but they're still over 100 ... the Bakken oil play in North Dakota, about 200 rigs. So we're still in the early stages of the companies trying to figure out how big it is, where there's wet gas, where the dry gas is, and is there enough pressure to produce oil. I don't know if this was a baseball game, if we'd be in the first inning or the second, but we're still in the early stages. We'll just have to keep praying, keep hoping that the companies will have great success and that we do our jobs and maximize benefits to Ohio."
Mustine, a featured speaker at the Eastern Ohio Development Alliance annual meeting recently in Walnut Creek, recounted some of the multi-million dollar investments the oil and gas industry already has made in the Buckeye State:

OFFERS A PROMISING OUTLOOK — David Mustine, general manager of energy, chemical and polymers for JobsOhio, and a featured speaker at the Eastern Ohio Development Alliance annual meeting recently in Walnut Creek, said while still in the early stages, the outlook is very promising for the oil and gas industry in the state. -- Contributed
Exterran Energy's $13.2 million fabrication plant in Youngstown will create 103 full-time jobs and generate $3.9 million in new payroll.
"It's a billion dollar a year company," Mustine said. "I think it's just the beginning for them, making oil field equipment."
Chesapeake Energy is partnering with M3 Midstream LLC (Momentum) and EV Energy Partners on a $900 million natural gas processing facility in Columbiana County.
MarkWest is spending $500 million on processing facilities in Southeastern Ohio.
"That's going to be 100-plus full-time jobs over time, plus 1,000 construction jobs as those projects get going," Mustine told government leaders from EOGA's 16 member counties. "We all know how important it is - if this wet gas isn't processed and fractionated, we won't have a strong play here. These companies want to get the high revenue that can come along with selling butane and ethane and propane."
Halliburton is breaking ground this week for a roughly $40 million investment in equipment and field service buildings in Zanesville. Mustine said the company eventually will employ 300 people.
"Chesapeake told me they've already hired nearly 300 people in this area," Mustine said. "NiSource has made a commitment to natural gas liquids (gathering) and processing in a plant that's going to be coming and BP made a $330 million investment in Trumbull County to extend the play further.
"I think there's going to be more. Companies...are looking to make commitments in our area."
Mustine said there've been some major gains in Ohio over the past year: Nearly 200 permits have been issued in the past year, and there are now 60 horizontal wells drilled in the Utica formation. Going forward, he said work force training will be key.
"We're not just looking at jobs related to drilling and production, we're also looking at the supply chain," he said. "We need to work with our Ohio companies, help them figure out what it takes to do business with this industry, how we can help them and is it the kind of industry they want to be in. The supply chain, that's going to be a priority. We'll be working with them, trying to get as many Ohio companies actively in the supply chain as possible."
He said a priority also must be to woo the chemical and polymer industries, "do everything we can to make sure these companies look to grow their business in Ohio, not on the Gulf Coast. We think they can be successful here."
Mustine said the state also is looking to persuade companies that use natural gas or natural gas products "to get them to expand their business to Ohio or get them to come to Ohio."
"We have to work together," he advised the EODA members.
"This is not a sprint ... it's a long race, and we need to help each other, make sure no one burns out. Everybody's important. We need to be diligent in what we're doing, and we need to persevere. We're building an industry that many of us believe can last for decades. That's the reason we're looking at the supply chain, because if we do it right ... these companies could be doing business not just in Ohio Utica, but around the U.S. and perhaps even around the globe. There's an awful lot at stake."

I've heard that taxis will frequently scam foreigners by overcharging. How can I reduce the chance of this happening?
Always, ALWAYS get a metered taxi. If the taxi driver says no meter, get a different one. Meters almost always run cheaper than the flat rate taxis.
Also, know where you are going.
I usually have my iPhone with GPS so I can watch where we are going in case the diver decides to circle the block a few times. Getting to know the major street names is also good advice. 15 minutes with a map and a marker and you can save yourself a ton of money.
EDIT: You can ask the desk person at your hotel or hostel which cabs are reliable and trustworthy.
EDIT 2: Also, just a personal comment here. I'm an expat. I've been living in Taiwan for about 4 years now. I speak Mandarin reasonably well and can even yell some stuff in Taiwanese when the occasion calls for it. Yet, I still get scammed sometimes. Over a long enough timeline, it will happen... but the goal is to mitigate the amount of times it happens and how much they get from you.
Contrary to @Ginamin's answer, my advice, based on traveling in Mexico, as well as practically everything I've ever read on the subject, is to never use a metered taxi and always agree to a price up front.
The best prices are usually had when you pay at a kiosk, such as found at a bus station or airport.
Case in point: Yesterday I arrived in Morelia, Mexico, and took a taxi from the bus station to down town. I paid at the Kiosk. Cost: $35 pesos. Today when I returned to the bus station, I was lazy, and took a metered taxi. $70 pesos!!!
I've also been ripped-off by a metered taxi once in Tijuana, where the taxi driver kept the meter running while he filled up at the gas station!!!
Taxi meters can also be tampered with to run fast. Some are distance-based, some are time-based. Taxi drivers with time-based meters may drive extra slow. Taxi drivers with distance-based meters may take longer routes.
There are just too many ways to rig a taxi meter, unless you're in a jurisdiction where you trust the local government to enforce fair metering practices. So my advice is to never use a metered taxi, unless you're in such a place.
The book Travel Advisory, which I recently read, also suggests to always take only official taxis, and always agree to a price before entering the taxi. Never use a metered taxi.
In summary:
Depends on the country. Sometimes it's better to use meter, sometimes not.
Here are my tips:
During my trip to Costa Rica, we were advised to only take red taxis, as they are metered and regulated. But even when we got in the "right" cab, the driver didn't use the meter anyway, and so we had to negotiate the fare.
Despite our precautions, the drivers managed to pull a few tricks ("15 Dollars? No, 15,000 Colones!"), and over the course of the 4-day trip, we still managed to overpay by about $20-25 across all our taxi trips. Ah well.
From my trip to CR, here's what I learned:
From experience in India, many popular tourist routes are prepaid. The amount is decided by a regulatory authority such as the government or transport commission. For instance, the drive from the airport to destination X will cost only a Y amount of rupees. This ensures that drivers do not (in their own interest) meander their way to your destination in an attempt to drive up meter charges. The prepaid charge is usually paid ahead of time at a kiosk, which then issues a voucher to be given to the driver.
For more custom travel needs, an option is to negotiate a flat daily rate based on duration (and not distance traveled). Again, there are standard rates for this hire in India.
Finally: If you do realise that you are actually getting ripped off (e.g. the driver is asking for more than was agreed, you realise the meter is totally rigged), remember that the money is in your hand.
You can just get out of the taxi, and you should do so before paying. That way, you are in control of what you pay. Note that this won't work if your luggage is in the back.
Depends on the country.
Generally, in a place you're visiting for the first time and where scams are frequent, it's better to agree on the fare upfront. This way you will pay more than the ideal metered fare, but you limit surprises and scams.
If you know your way around already or the place is generally civilized and safe (e.g. Western Europe, Japan or Thailand), metered fares tend to be cheaper.
Knowing what the fare is supposed to be upfront helps in both cases, but is especially important with no meter. Looking at a map helps, and hotel front desk might help if they aren't in the business of hawking their own cabbies (in return for a commission).
It's good to know what the official or reputable taxi companies are (if they exist), and how to recognize their cars.
If you're going without meter, always clearly agree the amount and currency up front, and perhaps even write it down. If you have many pieces of luggage, and especially if you place it in the trunk, your bargaining power in case of a conflict is significantly reduced. Have small bills available (cabbies often pretend to have no change), and count your currency carefully when paying (some cabbies switch similar-looking bills).
In addition to the answers specifically about taxis, you may want to do some research on alternate taxi-like transportation: Uber, Le Cab and similar.

Are there any particular advantages to using the viewfinder for focusing instead of the LCD?
Are there advantages to using a viewfinder for focusing instead of using a camera's rear LCD screen?
In general there are the following advantages of manual focussing via the optical viewfinder instead of the LCD:
There are also many advantages of using the LCD instead of the viewfinder to manually focus:
And on top of Matt Grum's almost exhaustive list, viewfinders won't eat up your batteries.
(Except if the viewfinder is electronic, but that's luckily quite rare)
And to top it all: using the viewfinder almost forces you to hold the camera in such a way that it will be the most stable platform possible without resorting to a tripod. Thus you'll suffer a lot less from motion blur, composition errors, camera shake, etc. etc.

Jobs in the Military vary in type of work and responsibility, yet each is essential to accomplishing the overall mission of defending our country. In this section, explore the different types of career opportunities available to service members, learn about the compensation they can expect to receive, find out how to transfer careers to the civilian sector and more.
Our Today's Military overview pages show the various stages of a military career, from the joining process to training, working and taking advantage of military benefits. Continue your journey below.
Enlisted careers are varied, but most involve mechanical, transportation, human service or office skills that transfer to the civilian world. All enlisted jobs require a high school diploma. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee service members will receive their first choice for a career, as the Services determine where each individual's skills are needed most at that time.
Officers are the managers of the Military, acting in leadership roles that require planning, directing operations and making critical decisions. Officer positions also include civilian careers that require advanced degrees, such as law and medicine. Officers have generally completed a four-year college degree or greater before serving.
Choosing a career in the Military takes careful consideration. Below, start exploring our Career Fields & Profiles section to find jobs that fit your skill set and interests. To begin, choose an industry you'd like to learn more about. Then select whether you'd be interested in serving in an enlisted or officer role in that career field. Each page includes that field's typical job titles, required training, daily responsibilities and associated civilian careers. Additionally, be sure to check out our career profiles for a personal look from a service member at day-to-day life in that field.
They call it making a living for a reason. Whether a service member has a family to support or is responsible just for himself or herself, salary in the Military provides a comfortable lifestyle with pay that competes with most civilian careers. Salary in the Military comes from two sources: base pay and special pays. Base pay is the same across all Service branches, and increases are based on rank and time in the Service. While not a guarantee of exact compensation, our compensation estimator should give you an idea of the salary and benefits you can earn as an active-duty service member.
To get started, select your options from the dropdown menus below. You can update the information you've already submitted and see how your compensation might change over time.
While the Military can be a lifelong career choice, featuring a structured environment of job advancement and both personal and professional success, service can also act as a springboard to a later civilian career. Either way, service members have access to resources to make a successful transition into life after serving.
See a sampling of the types of careers available to service members with highlights from our Working Videos page.

It's not all about work in the Military. Learn about the benefits service members receive and what they do when off duty.
Narrator: When it comes to work in the Military, there are thousands of jobs, and each specialty matters. The captain may be the one in command, but they can't do it alone. From the radar tower to the galley, from charting new courses to maintaining the ship, thousands of people come together in service. Like the parts of a complex machine, each piece fits together to form the working whole.
You've seen some careers in films and on TV. But that's only part of the story. Science, engineering, medicine and communications are just a few of the many fields available. And almost any job found in the civilian world also exists in the Military.
If you enlist, choosing a specialty is a careful balance between what fits you best and where you're most needed. A test will determine your strengths, how you fit into the whole and what your piece to contribute could be. Officer careers often involve leadership and working with enlisted service members to make critical decisions. This requires trust. Most importantly, you have to trust yourself, your own abilities.
With so many options, you're sure to find fulfilling work in the Military, with regular opportunities for advancement. And while service can last a few years or a lifelong career, the training and experience gained in these jobs is something civilian employers value highly. So whatever you do, with Military experience you're ready for the next step.closeX

Culture City: A Post-Sandy View on Art
Of all the systems that faltered in the aftermath of Sandy, here's one I didn't expect: my own belief in art as a refuge.
We're three weeks out from the storm, and life is back to normal for a lot of New Yorkers—if it was disrupted at all. I fall into that category, but there's been an indirect effect that has shifted my spectrum of emotional responses to art.
Three of my closest friends live within blocks of the shorelines in Rockaway, Long Beach, and Point Pleasant, N.J. For years I've been a first-class freeloader, delighting in the waterfront access, pools, porches and all the sunny glories of having friends at the beach. Now, as those friends call from their cold, powerless war zones, they relay news about the lack of progress, and about mounting decisions and problems they could not have remotely conceived two months ago.
Even as the recovery moves forward, there's still heartbreak on a daily basis from Fire Island to Atlantic City. Be it the elderly displaced by the flooding in Red Hook, or the people living in the tent city at Monmouth Park, the scope is crushing.
Where does all that leave the arts lover, who turns to culture for comfort and perspective in trying times? With feelings of guilt, almost certainly. But then again, the range of human problems is so vast, just wait 10 minutes for your good luck to change.
Whether you engage with the arts to reflect, connect or "to forget about life for a while" (thank you, Billy Joel), Sandy has complicated things. For me, the change has been two-fold. The positive feelings evoked by music and comedy wear off faster, while the jolt of a challenging drama lingers longer and hits harder. I can't measure these things, but most people know their own typical range of responses. I might tear up here and there in the theater. Lately, I've been a sobbing mess.
Yael Farber's play "Mies Julie," at St. Ann's Warehouse in Dumbo, is brutally intense and violent. Maybe I would have been in floods of tears anyway. But seeing it now, I practically had to remind myself to breathe. At one point I thought I might have to exit the room out of sheer panic.
During "Annie," it was hard to be cynical about the sweetness. But the Hooverville scene, with actors huddled in heavy coats and standing in soup lines, suddenly looked a whole lot like Rockaway.
Then I found myself crying uncontrollably during the climactic scene in Nick Payne's "If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet," at the Laura Pels Theatre. The play deals implicitly and explicitly with the potential impact of global warming: Water literally floods the set, so that household objects float chaotically around the stage and an enclosed tank.
Mr. Payne did not originally write the water into the play (it was developed by the show's director and designer), and after Sandy hit, he had some concerns about context. "My initial worry was that it would seem insensitive," he told me in a phone interview. "I hoped that it would hold up, and that if it did work, it would seem very different, darker."
Mission accomplished. But the play is about the human impact on both the environment and on other people. "I tried very hard," Mr. Payne said, "to balance what is the most terrifying thing I can think of—ecological catastrophe—with a small, bungling family unit."
At the end of the play, the human relationships evolve as the environment literally deteriorates. And in a way, that's happening in New York, too: The volunteer efforts have been far more organized and aggressive than any I can remember in the past decade, going back to Sept. 11, 2001—and not just in charity galas, but by people in every neighborhood going to the hardest-hit areas and finding ways to help.
There's a sentiment that fits here, one that I'm taking from the dance world but applies to any line of work—and even to being an arts consumer. The late choreographer Alvin Ailey used to tell his dancers, in so many words: You are a human being first, an artist second.
His point, said the divine dancer Renee Robinson, who is retiring from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater this year, was to ensure that his artists connected to life beyond their own work. "It's not enough to know your technique and your beauty. That's just what you do," she said. "The more you continue to grow as a person, embrace other art forms, know what's going on in your city, country, world, it will make you a more interesting person. You bring that person to your dancing. We are a reflection of humanity. We all feel joy and love, and we have situations that challenge us to look deeper. We understand through working together and embracing difference, we know in that lies our strength."
Why is Ailey's masterpiece, "Revelations," a hit all over the world? Because it's a work of art that reflects all the highs and lows of the human experience. After years of watching this company perform it, sometimes I skip "Revelations." Not this year.

I recently installed Fedora 16 on a Dell VOSTRO 1510. I am quite happy with it, but I am concerned with the slow boot load time. I measured from launching the OS with GRUB till GDM, a boot load time of
1:01.42, which I experience as slow (that's subjective, my bad: I have not measured other boot times in prior Ubuntu installations, but I remember it to be half that time).
Pressing F2 during boot prints out various details. I notice the boot load is taking much time in the following phase:
Started LSB: Starts and stops login ISCSI daemon.
Starting LSB: Starts and stops login and scanning of ISCSI devices.
What is LSB, ISCSI? Is one minute indeed a long boot time? Can I somehow improve the boot load time?
Here is my bootchart for more details:
Edit: thanks to some more documentation suggested by @vasquez, I have been able to remove some services and reduce boot time using
systemd-analyze and
systemctl. There are still more services however, which I may need to remove,see below. But how to know what services is doing what and gauge whether I need it or not?

- udev-settle.service
- fedora-wait-storage.service
Boot went from 1m 1.5s to about 26s (hurray) see plots:
Now the
fedora-storage-init.service is taking the most time and removing it only replaces it by
fedora-storage-init-late.service. What is this service exactly doing and how it can be sped up is yet a mystery.

When keeping numerous notes on any number of subjects, whether personal, work, school, etc, it's easy to let the notes grow out of control, and start missing things. I run into this a lot. I have notes scattered in notebooks, post-its, text files, and Evernote. This seems chaotic, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who deals with this!
How does one get a balance between having everything in one place, and the redundancy in tracking information in multiple locations?

COLUMBUS - Two high school football players go on trial this coming week on charges of raping a nearly passed-out-drunk 16-year-old Weirton girl during a night of partying in Steubenville. Around the football-powerhouse city, some are demanding to know why at least three other teens aren't facing charges, too.
After the athletes' arrest last summer, one of the many rumors that swirled around town proved all too true: Three boys, two of them members of Steubenville High's celebrated Big Red team, saw something happening that night and didn't try to stop it.
Instead, two pulled out their cellphones and took video and a photo.
The allegations shocked and roiled the city of 18,000, but prosecutors brought no charges against the witnesses, fueling months of furious online accusations of a cover-up to protect the team - something law enforcement authorities have vehemently denied.
One blogger wrote a post was headlined: "Steubenville Big Red Rape Accusations: The Other Perpetrators."
"Anyone that they can show had firsthand knowledge and was partly in some way responsible for the event, the rape, they should be charged," said Jackie Hillyer, president of the Ohio chapter of the National Organization for Women. She is among those pressing, at a minimum, for charges of failure to report a crime, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine.
Longtime Steubenville resident Willa Wade said: "I feel personally that if they were there, they knew it had happened, they did not report it or stop it, then they ought to be brought up on the same charges as anybody else."
The Ohio attorney general's office, however, told the three witnesses in a letter last fall that while they may not have conducted themselves "in a responsible or appropriate manner," their behavior "did not rise to the level of criminal conduct," and they would not be charged.
Legal experts said it is clear prosecutors sorely need the witnesses' testimony to make their rape case because there is little physical evidence against the defendants and the girl may have been too intoxicated to remember much.
"This prosecutor more than anything else wants to get a conviction of the culprits and he does not want to jeopardize that single-minded goal," said Christo Lassiter, a University of Cincinnati criminal law professor. "That's the conservative approach. Above all else, get the main culprit. If you can get the other folks along the line, fine."
Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville, and Trent Mays, 17, of Bloomingdale, go on trial Wednesday in juvenile court in Steubenville. They are charged with digitally penetrating the girl, first in the back seat of a moving car after a mostly underage, alcohol-fueled party Aug. 11, and then in the basement of a house. Witnesses said the girl was so drunk she threw up at least twice and had trouble walking and speaking. She was also photographed being carried by the two young men.
If convicted, they could be held in a juvenile jail until they turn 21. They have denied any wrongdoing.
The case will be decided by Visiting Judge Thomas Lipps, of Hamilton County.
They were charged 10 days after the party, after a flurry of social media postings about the alleged attack led the girl and her family to go to police.
The scandal brought a barrage of accusations and insinuations, mostly online, with some townspeople supporting the defendants and others complaining that the football team has unusual sway over the city. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's office took over the case after the local prosecutor stepped down because her son is a football player at 700-student Steubenville High.
Big Red football is a big deal in Steubenville. The stadium, dubbed Death Valley, sits on a hill above town, and the team is a nine-time state champion, with back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2006. Man O' War, a red statue of a rearing stallion, shoots flames from its mouth each time a touchdown is scored.
Three students - Anthony Craig and football players Mark Cole and Evan Westlake - testified at a hearing in October, just days after receiving the letters assuring them they would not be prosecuted. Prosecutors said at the hearing that Cole and Craig would have been charged if they hadn't deleted the images on their cellphones.
At the same proceeding, Westlake was asked by a prosecutor why he didn't stop the alleged attack.
"I was stunned at what I saw," he said. "I just wanted - I wanted to get out of there and I -I - I didn't know what to do, I mean."
The defendants' lawyers also raised the possibility that the witnesses did not know what they were seeing that night. Under questioning, the teen witnesses said that the girl was able to tell some of the boys the password to her smartphone and that they never heard her say "no" or "stop."
"So, you don't consider it a sexual assault?" attorney Adam Nemann asked Cole.
"I feel it's not my place to make that decision on whether it was or wasn't," Cole responded. "I can just tell you what I witnessed."
"And if this was a sexual assault I'm sure you would have called and told someone, right?" Nemann said.
"I would assume, yes," Cole said.
On a blog run by former Steubenville resident Alexandria Goddard, some anonymous posters have demanded others at the party be charged, including football player Cody Saltsman. Saltsman sued Goddard for defamation, and the case was settled with Goddard saying there was no evidence Saltsman was involved in the alleged attack.
Then, in January, a YouTube video was posted featuring another student, Michael Nodianos, apparently cracking jokes about the alleged rape just hours after it occurred, while others in the background chimed in. NOW is demanding prosecutors charge Nodianos with failure to report a crime, but Nodianos' lawyer said the young man had no "firsthand knowledge of the facts."
Meanwhile, it was learned Friday that a West Virginia judge had rejected requests that three juveniles be called to testify during the expected three-day trial, a decision one defense attorney says puts his client in "a tough situation."
The juveniles' testimony was expected to bolster the players' defense against charges that they attacked the alleged victim.
No legal case was cited from anywhere in the country to support the argument that the three West Virginia juveniles can be compelled to testify in Ohio, 1st Judicial Circuit Judge Ronald Wilson ruled Wednesday in an order obtained by The Associated Press.
Ohio and West Virginia law is different for a juvenile delinquency hearing compared to a criminal trial, Wilson said in the four-page ruling.
"The proceeding in Ohio is not a criminal action - it is not a criminal prosecution - and it is not a criminal proceeding," Wilson wrote.
"A trial judge follows the law - he does not make it," Wilson added. No law his court follows gives him the right to honor the request for the subpoenas, he said.
The request for the subpoenas came through Lipps, after defense attorneys filed motions with him asking that the three witnesses appear at the trial. Nothing in the court ruling indicates what the juveniles would testify about.
The juveniles' expected testimony and knowledge was "material" to the Ohio case, Wilson's ruling said.
"It puts us in a tough situation," Walter Madison, a defense attorney representing Richmond said Friday. He declined further comment.
The lawyer representing defendant Mays said the West Virginia witnesses are trying to avoid testifying. Attorney Brian Duncan said they have refused to speak to defense investigators.
"The truth will be exposed through evidence and testimony submitted at the upcoming trial, and the same will prove that our client did not rape the alleged victim," Duncan said in a statement Friday.
Dozens of witnesses for both sides are expected to testify at the trial. Their testimony is considered crucial because the girl was severely intoxicated that night and appeared to be passed out at times, according to several witnesses, and is not expected to testify herself.
Fred Abdalla Jr., chief probation officer for the Jefferson County juvenile court and the spokesman for issues around the trial, said as far as he knew the trial would proceed despite the ruling.
"We're still set to go (to trial) Wednesday," Abdalla said Saturday evening. "Unless some motion is made between now and then we're ready to go."

I'll make this short: I got these thinking that coming from Zipp they would be very high quality. They are extremely light but you give up strength there. While putting them on I noticed how flimsy they were and thought how could they secure a bottle? I found that out 2 days later during a race when after hitting a bump one of my bottles ejected out like a missile! Took these piles of junk off my bike as soon as I got home. Horrible cages unless you just want some for looks and could care less about hydrating!

Well made and very light. Cages are very flexible and don't grip my bottles as well as my former cages and I'm concern that they could bounce/fall out on rough roads. I just like a better grip on my bottles. On the other hand it is easy to retrieve/replace bottle because of the very flexible fit. Since these are made by Zipp, I assume all of this was considered in the designed. I'm always amazed at how flexible carbon can be, and yet how strong it can also be.

I've seen some guides online for hard-wiring a radar detector into the electrical system of the car via the moon-roof line or similar. But what about concealing the detector itself.
I'd like to disassemble the detector, carefully de-solder the components, lengthen connectors and expose the minimal sensor components in the windshield, and hide the bulk of the unit in the roof or something.
Anyone done this? Thoughts?

WACO (January 2, 2013)-A short-lived car chase Tuesday night in East Waco led to three arrests and the seizure of both methamphetamine and marijuana.
Alex Albert Aguilar, 21, was ordered held on bonds totaling $22,000, charged with evading arrest in a motor vehicle, possession of marijuana under 2 ounces, possession of methamphetamine and injury to a child.
Resendo Cesar Torres, 20, and Jennifer Knight, 20, both were ordered held on $1,000 bonds each, charged with possession of marijuana.
Department of Public Safety trooper D.L. Wilson said at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday a DPS trooper on patrol attempted to stop a 1998 Lincoln Continental on U.S. Business Highway 77 but as the trooper tried to pull the car over, the driver sped away.
A short time later the trooper was able to stop the car on Forrest Street.
After searching the car the trooper arrested two men and a woman on various charges and one of the men on an outstanding warrant from Bellmead.
Bellmead police Detective Sgt. Michael Miller said Aguilar had been named in a warrant in connection with an injury to a child that happened last March 26 at a residence in Bellmead.
Miller said the warrant was issued after investigators learned a then 6-year-old girl had been beaten with a belt.
Miller said the beating left deep bruises on the child and that paramedics were called to the scene to evaluate the injuries but the child did not require further medical attention.

The order of the flats is given by the mnemonic "Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father", and the order of sharps by the reverse ("Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle"). What is the history behind this strange phrase?
From J.R.'s answer on the English Language and Usage Stack Exchange site it dates back at least as far as 1885 since J.R. unearthed a charming quote from Educational Plans in Music Teaching, in The Quarterly Music Review, Vol. 1, 1885 where it is attributed it to a "government schoolmistress".
Unlike other mnemonics for key signature layouts such as BEADGCF ( bead + Greatest Common Factor) or for sharps, fat cats go dancing at elegant balls, the mnemonic for flats, Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles' Father, can be reversed as "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle" to give the order of sharps. That doesn't help with the etymology, but it explains why it has endured despite its awkwardness.
It relates back to the circle of fifths; in this case you are going backwards (counter clockwise in conventional diagrams).
I don't believe that the mnemonic has any deep significance; it just fits the pattern of letters.

Women's Health
What Women Don't Know About Cancer
Oct. 26, 2007 -- Nearly two-thirds of women mistakenly believe having no family history of cancer means they have a low risk of developing the disease, and most do not know that oral contraceptive use is protective against ovarian and uterine cancer, a new survey shows.
Commissioned by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the poll results were released Friday to coincide with the launch of a new web-based guide designed to help women better understand their cancer risk.
ACOG past president Douglas W. Laube, MD, says the survey findings reveal a "worrisome gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
"This knowledge gap, as well as their fears about cancer, may be putting women at risk," he said at a Friday morning media briefing.
Among the highlights from the survey:
- Two out of three women did not know that the vast majority of cancers occur in women with no family history of the disease. Only about 5% to 10% of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary, according to the American Cancer Society.
"While we know that having a family history of cancer is a risk factor, the fact is that most cancers occur in people with no family history of this disease at all," Laube says. "So those without a family history cannot assume that they are not at risk."
- Only 11% of women knew that taking oral contraceptives is associated with a reduced risk of ovarian, uterine, and possibly colorectal cancer.
"Unfortunately the pill remains one of the best kept secrets in medicine," Laube says, adding that oral contraceptive use is still linked in many women's minds with an increased risk of breast cancer, even though many studies have found little or no association.
- Only about half of the women surveyed felt they were doing enough to reduce their cancer risk, and 10% said they had done nothing to reduce their risk in the past year.
- Almost one in three women (29%) reported that they did not see a health care provider on a regular basis and had not had a Pap test or mammogram during the previous year.
- About a third of women without regular medical care cited lack of health insurance or other economic barriers as the reason.
"The greatest potential to further reduce cancer deaths in women will come from efforts to improve screening and access to preventive health care, particularly for women without insurance," Laube says.
The online survey conducted by Harris Interactive included 1,664 adult women aged 18 and older and took place Oct. 1 through Oct. 3, 2007.
