Quantization (physics)
|Quantum field theory
Incomplete theories
In physics, quantization is the process of transition from a classical understanding of physical phenomena to a newer understanding known as quantum mechanics. It is a procedure for constructing a quantum field theory starting from a classical field theory. This is a generalization of the procedure for building quantum mechanics from classical mechanics. One also speaks of field quantization, as in the "quantization of the electromagnetic field", where one refers to photons as field "quanta" (for instance as light quanta). This procedure is basic to theories of particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum optics.

Quantization methods[edit]
Quantization converts classical fields into operators acting on quantum states of the field theory. The lowest energy state is called the vacuum state. The reason for quantizing a theory is to deduce properties of materials, objects or particles through the computation of quantum amplitudes, which may be very complicated. Such computations have to deal with certain subtleties called renormalization, which, if neglected, can often lead to nonsense results, such as the appearance of infinities in various amplitudes. The full specification of a quantization procedure requires methods of performing renormalization.
The first method to be developed for quantization of field theories was canonical quantization. While this is extremely easy to implement on sufficiently simple theories, there are many situations where other methods of quantization yield more efficient procedures for computing quantum amplitudes. However, the use of canonical quantization has left its mark on the language and interpretation of quantum field theory.
Canonical quantization[edit]
Canonical quantization of a field theory is analogous to the construction of quantum mechanics from classical mechanics. The classical field is treated as a dynamical variable called the canonical coordinate, and its time-derivative is the canonical momentum. One introduces a commutation relation between these which is exactly the same as the commutation relation between a particle's position and momentum in quantum mechanics. Technically, one converts the field to an operator, through combinations of creation and annihilation operators. The field operator acts on quantum states of the theory. The lowest energy state is called the vacuum state. The procedure is also called second quantization.
This procedure can be applied to the quantization of any field theory: whether of fermions or bosons, and with any internal symmetry. However, it leads to a fairly simple picture of the vacuum state and is not easily amenable to use in some quantum field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics which is known to have a complicated vacuum characterized by many different condensates.
Covariant canonical quantization[edit]
There is a way to perform a canonical quantization without having to resort to the non covariant approach of foliating spacetime and choosing a Hamiltonian. This method is based upon a classical action, but is different from the functional integral approach.
The method does not apply to all possible actions (for instance, actions with a noncausal structure or actions with gauge "flows"). It starts with the classical algebra of all (smooth) functionals over the configuration space. This algebra is quotiented over by the ideal generated by the Euler–Lagrange equations. Then, this quotient algebra is converted into a Poisson algebra by introducing a Poisson bracket derivable from the action, called the Peierls bracket. This Poisson algebra is then -deformed in the same way as in canonical quantization.
There is also a way to quantize actions with gauge "flows". It involves the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism, an extension of the BRST formalism.
Deformation quantization[edit]
Geometric quantization[edit]
In mathematical physics, geometric quantization is a mathematical approach to defining a quantum theory corresponding to a given classical theory. It attempts to carry out quantization, for which there is in general no exact recipe, in such a way that certain analogies between the classical theory and the quantum theory remain manifest. For example, the similarity between the Heisenberg equation in the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics and the Hamilton equation in classical physics should be built in.
One of the earliest attempts at a natural quantization was Weyl quantization, proposed by Hermann Weyl in 1927. Here, an attempt is made to associate a quantum-mechanical observable (a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space) with a real-valued function on classical phase space. The position and momentum in this phase space are mapped to the generators of the Heisenberg group, and the Hilbert space appears as a group representation of the Heisenberg group. In 1946, H. J. Groenewold [1] considered the product of a pair of such observables and asked what the corresponding function would be on the classical phase space. This led him to discover the phase-space star-product of a pair of functions. More generally, this technique leads to deformation quantization, where the ★-product is taken to be a deformation of the algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold or Poisson manifold. However, as a natural quantization scheme (a functor), Weyl's map is not satisfactory. For example, the Weyl map of the classical angular-momentum-squared is not just the quantum angular momentum squared operator, but it further contains a constant term 3ħ2/2. (This extra term is actually physically significant, since it accounts for the nonvanishing angular momentum of the ground-state Bohr orbit in the hydrogen atom.[2] As a mere representation change, however, Weyl's map underlies the alternate Phase space formulation of conventional quantum mechanics.
Loop quantization[edit]
See Loop quantum gravity.
Path integral quantization[edit]
A classical mechanical theory is given by an action with the permissible configurations being the ones which are extremal with respect to functional variations[disambiguation needed] of the action. A quantum-mechanical description of the classical system can also be constructed from the action of the system by means of the path integral formulation.

FREE Printable Date Night Conversation Starters
Jamie here! We posted this previously as part of our frugal Valentine's Day Ideas for a night in, but I wanted to repost for those of you who haven't seen it before. Now that my kids are back in school, I'm trying to focus on my marriage a little more, and I've been thinking that this long weekend might be a perfect time to use this idea again 🙂
One Valentine's Day years ago – my husband and I were once again planning an evening in with our four kids because we were a) too broke for both a babysitter and dinner and b) didn't know any babysitters anyway…
A couple days ahead of time, I decided to think up enough questions to create a little Valentine's game to play with him. (Remember how fun it was doing those silly Cosmo quizes with your teenage boyfriend?) I came up with several questions, dares and activities and wrote them down on slips of paper. I folded each one up and put them in a heart bowl and waited for Valentine's Day.

The $ 50.00 Lesson
Saw this on facebook and had to share it here.
The $50 Lesson
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.
During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were Pre
sident what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride!
"Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied.
So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50.
Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked,
"Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome of the vote.

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

Cheri Attix is an extremely knowledgeable, meticulous, fast-thinking, ethical, courteous, well-organized, brilliant, formidable, wise lawyer.
Since I met her in 2002, I must say that she has all the qualities a client desires. She is an amazing listener and always looks at the bigger picture. She possesses a strong sense of ethics. Over the years, not only has she been my lawyer but also she has been there for my family. At one point, she even helped me with my training when I was starting a business even though I didn't know anybody in San Diego. I will always be grateful for that because it gave me the confidence to work harder.
She will always take the time to answer any questions you may have and guide you to make the best decision. She always makes me feel that I am her most important client no matter how big or small are my questions.
We admire her patience, persistence, dedication, confidentiality and most of all her professionalism. She will always be my "go to" person because I value her opinion and point of view.

Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend, Page, Arizona
ISO 100, 12mm, f/13, 1/6sec
Following the Colorado River south from my previous photo at Glen Canyon Dam, you will get to Horseshoe Bend.
The eroding water has created a large horseshoe shaped bend (hence the name) in the landscape. To get there you have to make a pretty steep hike over a hill near the parking lot, from there it's an easy walk down to the bend. The hike back however is up hill again ;)
The photo is taken with an extreme wideangle lens, so it doesn't show how immense this bend really is. A spectacular sight!
Unfortunately the strong wind bombarded my camera with sand and small rocks, so I decided to take only a few quick shots before heading back to the hotel again to clean my camerabag inside out.

Making game apps pay: the OFT's warning about in-app purchases - .PDF file.
The use of in-app purchases has become increasingly popular, particularly in games. This monetisation model involves the sale of game-play extras to users in order to add an additional revenue stream. For example, the hugely popular app game 'Infinity Blade' enables users to purchase swords and other in-game items with real money for use in virtual battles as they progress through the game.
Although games such as 'Infinity Blade' are of most appeal to adults, there has been a marked increase in the number of games that use in-app purchases that are targeted at children. Public awareness of the issue was raised earlier this year by several high-profile news reports of children who had spent a fortune on in-app purchases — such as the British child who spent £1,700 playing 'Zombies vs Ninja' and another who purchased £980 worth of virtual donuts in 'The Simpsons: Tapped Out'.
In was, therefore, unsurprising that the UK's Office of Fair Trading (OFT) announced in April its investigation into the ways in which online and app-based games encourage children to make purchases. The OFT mentioned, in particular, that it planned to look into whether these games include unlawful 'direct exhortations to children — a strong encouragement to make a purchase, or to do something that will necessitate making a purchase, or to persuade their parents or other adults to make a purchase for them'. This is unlawful under the UK's Consumer Protection (from Unfair Trading) Regulations 2008…

New horse person from Canada
Got my first horse last fall, second one this summer. Love them both but I still have so much to learn...:?
Hi neighbor, pleased to meet you. It doesn't matter how many horses you have or how long you have had them there are always things to learn
I didn't grow up with horses (just cows) so have a very steep learning curve as a adult beginner. My 7 year old daughter has just started in Pony Club and gymkhana & her younger siblings love the horses too.
welcome to the forum. congrats on the new horses. lots of info here.
Welcome!!! I'm from Nova Scotia, even though thats on the other coast of Canada...
But don't worry about having lots to learn, I ride without a trainer or anything... and my first horse is not completly broke, I'm doing it myself! I've never rode a trained horse, haha.
If you are worried about your progress: you joined the right forum!!
Welcome to the forum! I'm only in Holland for 2 years. Next year july I'll be back in BC so we're neighbors! ;)

|Re: How can I access to the TextExtractor result?
|Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:12:16 GMT
Thanks, this is the expected answer :( Anyway, there is any way to detect a failed text extraction ? I know, I can see the log but the failure it not associated to a file or path. Some times when I upload a document (word, pdf, etc.) to my DMS build on Jackrabbit, it is not indexed. Office documents seems to be specially problematic due to its propietary format. And the problem is that I don't know which document had problems it their text extraction, specially if use extractorPoolSize > 1. Perhaps this question should be send to the development list? I thinks this can be a very useful improvement to Jackrabbit.

Went with 11 guests for New Year's Eve dinner.We were told when making the reservation that the restaurant will close at midnight and the website had great reviews on the service and food quality. Unfortunately, the menu was very limited for the night. The wine list was lacking. The bar and restaurant closed at 10 pm and we were made to feel unwelcome when the waiters started to shut the doors and stack the empty tables and chairs. To top the disappointment: the birthday cake that I had sourced from an external bakery was " mistakenly" eaten by the staff.

The experience was amazing, just wish it was for a little longer. The operators worked like clockwork, very well organised and professional. Crew members under water were FANTASTIC! THANK YOU for making me feel safe!!!
For me and my husband 58 and 59 this was the experience of a lifetime!!!
- - - Only down side is the price of the photos on a USB stick - 160 - ridiculously expensive!!!

This was the most awesome experience ever, it beats swimming with the dolphins. And being a Jon-swimmer, perfect for me. The guides were really good and we were that close to the fish, we could touch them.

Outstanding experience!
January 2015
This was the experience of a lifetime! I am not fond of the water and rarely swim, so this helmet dive was perfect for me! I didn't even get my hair wet! They put this heavy helmet on my head, but when I was under the water, it wasn't heavy at all! There were fish all around me and I even got photo bombed by the resident Parrotfish! It was perfect!!!

Great Great experience!Amazing nature and a must visit place!

Green island is a small but beautiful island, you can snorkel off the beach on your own. I chose the glass bottom boat option which was a bit disappointing as it lasted only about 20 minutes. However, the seawalker - where you can walk on the ocean floor was just amazing.
June 2016
The experience was amazing, just wish it was for a little longer, could walk a bit further around and some photos whilst walking would have been good too. The operators worked like clockwork, very well organised and professional. Only down side is the price of the photos on a USB stick - ridiculously expensive!!
November 2015
Somewhat disorganised on the boat, received different messages from different staff. We ended up having our helmet at the same time as lunch was being served so we didn't get lunch, we also found out later that we were booked in for our glass bottom tour at the same time so we missed this as it's difficult to be in 3 places at the same time! We were reluctantly given permission of go on a later glass bottom boat by an indignant member of staff, we were made to feel that it was our fault for not attending at the initial time that we weren't told about. On the up side the staff doing the helmet dive were extremely conscientious and attentive, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
November 2015
This trip provided lots of options. Enjoyed snorkeling. Was disappointed in the helmet dive - while it was a great experience for my friend who had not done it before and was a great opportunity to see fish up close, it provided no opportunity to view coral. I recall seeing much coral up close when I did a similar activity back in 1988. Glass bottom boat was good opportunity to see variety of fish and coral. Lunch was rushed with the long lineup and the booked commitments. Overall still a very good experience

Skip to comments.Knights of Columbus pledge to fight for marriage, life, under God
Posted on 08/05/2006 2:49:24 PM PDT by NYer
ORLANDO - The Knights of Columbus have adopted, this week, significant resolutions on a number of critical social issues including marriage, the sacredness of life, the Pledge of Allegiance, school choice, and support for military men and women.
The resolutions, adopted yesterday at the 124th Supreme Council Meeting, held in Orlando, Florida, serve to formally state the Knights stance on the issues, most of which they have been involved with previously.
The first resolution states that Marriage, which is the foundation of society and provides the best environment for raising children, is under siege in our culture by the movement to legalize same-sex unions.
In this context, the Knights resolved to defend the principle that marriage is based on a love between one man and one woman and to oppose all attempts to legalize same-sex marriage. They resolved that they would join with the bishops throughout the world in their efforts to achieve legal and constitutional protection for the traditional definition of marriage.
Regarding life issues, they resolved to live up to their reputation as defenders of life and to encourage elected officials to pass legislation which prohibits the use of public funds to finance programs that degrade the value of life, whether that be abortion or embryonic stem-cell research. They also resolved to call for a law that protects the right of conscience for medical professionals and to make known their opposition to the death penalty.
They expressed their support for parental notification laws and resolved to demonstrate compassion for distressed pregnant women by supporting programs that offer alternatives to abortion.
The Knights resolved to defend the inclusion of the words under God in the Pledge of Allegiance. They will be interveners in the lawsuit challenging the wording of the Pledge currently pending before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The Catholic mens organization further resolved to encourage legislation that would establish educational choice programs, providing financial assistance to parents who wish to send their children to Catholic schools.
Finally, as they have done for decades, they reaffirmed their support for and expressed profound gratitude to, the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces. They pledged to continue praying for military personnel deployed around the world and for their safe return home.
Proud member of the Knights of Columbus' Columbiettes; the women who support the Knights.
None of this is new for the Knights, but it's still nice to see a formal restatement of their position on the "latest" issues.
Der Prinz is a 4th Degree Knight. Vivat Jesus!
K of C ping.
The Knights were instrumental in getting "Under God" into the Pledge and they will fight to keep it there.
IIRC, the Knights financed the "Pierce vs. Society of Sisters" case in Washington State (or Oregon?) that established the right to private education.
Father McGivney is our favorite Irish uncle! (In the Spirit, that is; my actual Irish ancestors were Protestant.)
My Dad's first tour in Vietnam was in 1969. He was a Navy pilot. One of my earliest memories is meeting him at the airfield when he came home from that trip.
The Knights do a lot of good work and I'm fortunate to be one. It has given me a different perspective on life to see the hands-on work done every day by this order.
That must have been a great day, Tax-chick.
Freeper 'AlaninSA' maintains a Knights of Columbus Ping List. Please freepmail him if you would like to be added to it.
He had been gone a year. Mom had colored her hair, and my brother and I were (of course) very different, and he walked right by us, there on the runway. Dad spent 27 years in the Navy, two tours in Nam and two long stretches in the Indian Ocean during the 80's, as well as all the other deployments. (I did not marry a Navy officer, much as I admire them :-).
The Knights of Columbus are a terrific organization. My husband has been one since 1995, and you couldn't ask for a better expression of Christian solidarity. We've met wonderful people and had great experiences. Devotion to Father McGivney and the Mexican KofC martyrs has really contributed to our spiritual life, as well.
Thanks, NYer - I changed my username recently but I think I'm still on it.
Good for the KOC. I hope they use their cool swords in the fight.
Last fall, we had a Eucharistic Conference here. The 4th Degree Knights honor guard came out for the closing Mass, about 40 of them. When the Bishop pronounced the Consecration, the Knights drew their swords and held them aloft until the closing of the Eucharistic Prayer.
It was so moving to see the symbolic defense of the Lord's Eucharistic Presence! I was sniffling through the rest of the Mass.
Mrs. Submareener and I just got back from our monthly supply run to Tuscon. You know where you hitch up the buckboard and drive into town to visit the General Store, in this case Costco. Anyway, coming up Kolb from I-10 we passed the wonderful billboard that said: "One Nation under Me. - God"
I am a Knight- though not a participating one....two weeks ago during Saturday mass a local Knight got up and, during a drive to bring in new Knights, made it quite clear...we are pro-life, pro-God, pro-Catholic and pro-American....my chest swelled!!
Please FReepmail me if you'd like to be added to or removed from the KofC ping list.
I am a Knight- though not a participating one
It's astonishing to see the high membership rolls of the Knights and Columbiettes, with so few actively participating. We need your assistance to keep these organizations thriving. I have seen far too many Councils close up, from lack of new members. Please consider volunteering your time to help us.
Dear God luvs America,
I'm a Knight, too, although an active one.
I have a question, if you don't mind.
What can Council leaderships do to get inactive Knights to be a little more active?
Those of us in Council leadership would be happy if a man came to a couple of meetings a year, and worked at a couple of events a year, and maybe came to one or two other social events where all the man had to do was enjoy with his family.
What can we do for the 75% of our men whom we don't see even a single time each year?
Thanks in advance,
DGK sitetest, PGK
We've found that focusing the council on fewer tasks does much to grow the participation rate. Many councils get so eager to do so much that they end up "biting off more than they can chew."
Focus on smaller, more locally focused activity.
We're in a large city (eighth biggest in the nation). Our council spent far too much time on outreach in the poorest parts of the city -- to the cost of not focusing on the poor in our own neighborhood. Knights are good guys, but it's my belief that altruism is a myth. We want to see the effects of our work. Working locally enables this.
Therefore, getting a bunch of Knights together to re-roof the home of the poor shut-in widow down the street gets much more participation than gathering a group of Knights to paint a house 30 miles away from the parish.
In addition, think of what your council can do for the actual parish or parish school. We do groundskeeping, building maintenance and hold scholarship fundraisers for our parish kids.
We still have our obligations to support national and state charities - but we're focusing more on local needs than in years past.
I say this tongue and cheek....expand the day to 28 hours or make the week 8 days long..
If I was able to get a newsletter on what may be happening it would probably help- or maybe even a website for local chapters where I could logon and find out what was happening (who knows, there may be one)....I'd hate to have someone keep calling and me say, "sorry I'm to busy"....it would be a turn off for everyone..
Dear God luvs America,
"If I was able to get a newsletter on what may be happening it would probably help- or maybe even a website for local chapters where I could logon and find out what was happening (who knows, there may be one)"
We actually have both. Our newsletter is pretty good, having won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place six years running at the state level for newsletters in our division. We have a Yahoo group, and folks can get e-mail updates.
"....I'd hate to have someone keep calling and me say, 'sorry I'm to busy'....it would be a turn off for everyone.."
Yeah, but what we find is that if we don't ask folks to come help out, directly ask 'em, they almost never come from the information in our newsletter or at our Yahoo group.
"I say this tongue and cheek....expand the day to 28 hours or make the week 8 days long.."
I understand.
Dear AlaninSA,
We try to keep our activities to just one per Surge for Service area per quarter. Sometimes, the same event will actually be conducted under the auspices of two or more Surge for Service committees, thus further reducing our activities.
"Focus on smaller, more locally focused activity."
Almost all our activities are local. Occasionally we've had activities that didn't pertain to our specific Council (one year, the Eucharistic Congress was in downtown DC, and we did something with that - we also sponsor a dinner after each year's March for Life for parishioners who go downtown to march to the Supreme Court).
"In addition, think of what your council can do for the actual parish or parish school. We do groundskeeping, building maintenance and hold scholarship fundraisers for our parish kids."
Check, check, and check. We sponsor an annual golf tournament and a couple of basket bingos each year to raise money for our scholarship fund, which gives out modest scholarships to parish families with kids in Catholic school. That's our biggest single focus.
We also have done the whole groundskeeping/parish picnic/building maintenance stuff, too.
Still, with 90 guys, it's the same 20 or so guys that are at least moderately active.
Oh well.
We have about 400 brothers - and we have about 50 active ones. Same guys at the meetings, same guys at the activities...for the most part. Since our focus on the parish started, though, we've seen significant growth in "lapsed member" participation.

The idea which this chapter gives us of Samson is not what one might have expected concerning one who, by the special designation of heaven, was a Nazarite to God and a deliverer of Israel; and yet really he was both. Here is, I. Samson's courtship of a daughter of the Philistines, and his marriage to her, Jdg. 14:1-5, 7, 8. II. His conquest of a lion, and the prize he found in the carcase of it, Jdg. 14:5, 6, 8, 9. III. Samson's riddle proposed to his companions (Jdg. 14:10-14) and unriddled by the treachery of his wife, Jdg. 14:15-18. IV. The occasion this gave him to kill thirty of the Philistines (Jdg. 14:19) and to break off his new alliance, Jdg. 14:20.

What are antioxidants anyway? Most people understand that they're beneficial to health, but may be unsure of what they are or how they work! Our cells need oxygen to perform vital tasks, such as transferring energy stored in food, or for powering our muscles. When our cells use energy, they produce a by-product of organic molecules known as free-radicals. Unfortunately, these free radicals are damaging to our bodies. They can lead to aging, tissue damage, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and... Read More

The panel on MSNBC's Morning Joe said Tuesday that the FBI will likely start to interview people as the next step of the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server, adding it will become more of a problem for her in a general election.
This discussion comes the day after the State Department finished releasing the last batch of the more than 50,000 pages of Clinton emails from her home-brewed server that the department was required to make available to the public.
In total, 2,115 of the emails have been deemed classified, 22 of which are considered "top secret" and could not be released to the public due to the sensitivity of the information they contain.
None of the emails were classified when they were originally sent or received.
"What happens here?" co-host Joe Scarborough asked the panel after the latest email release. "Are [Clinton] staff members going to have to get lawyered up? Is this looking more like Hillary Clinton may not get indicted, but some of her staff members may be under the gun?"
"I think the next step will probably be people being interviewed, and then you always have to worry about what you say, whether there is a possibility of perjury," Bloomberg's Mark Halperin said in response.
He added that prosecutors face two tough choices in an election year and can either "look political if they don't pursue the investigation aggressively or political if they do."
John Heilemann, who is also at Bloomberg, agreed with Halperin's analysis, saying that the email issue will not go away for Clinton and may become more damaging if she becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
"[The email issue] is going to continue to hover … a lot of establishment Democrats who were terrified last fall … that these issues could be a real problem for her in a general election, they got distracted by the [Sen.] Bernie Sanders threat … Now that it looks Hillary Clinton is in a position to be the presumptive Democratic nominee, that establishment will be happy that Bernie Sanders is gone, but it will now turn its attention back to another thing to worry about for Hillary Clinton, which is this," he said.
The FBI has been investigating whether Clinton mishandled classified information over her private server while she served as secretary of state since at least August. The bureau has the ability to move forward with criminal charges if it so chooses.
While Sanders has avoided making Clinton's emails an issue on the campaign trail, it is generally assumed that the Republican nominee will use the federal investigation as a prominent attack against the Democratic frontrunner.

"The city kind of becomes this living, breathing organism," said professional bicycle messenger Nico Deportago-Cabrera. "All these streets are like veins and arteries. You start to notice the rhythm and the timing of the city – the order in which the lights change and how long you can ride a set of greens before before you're going to hit a red light."
Taxi drivers and messengers both need to know how to navigate city streets in and out. But who is fastest?
"I've always been curious – how my knowledge fares up against a pro cab" Cabrera said.
Can I get downtown faster than a cab?
With a couple clicks of a taxi-summoning phone app, the competition was set. "It's the middle of the afternoon, pre-rush hour traffic," Cabrera said, "Can I get downtown faster than a cab?"
The race: Across Chicago proper – start at Willis Tower, finish at Wrigley Field.
Watch the video above to see the contest, as recorded by Sony Action Cams mounted to the cab and bike.

Seeking Peace in the Wake of War
Europe, 1943-1947
Distributed for Amsterdam University Press
When World War II ended, Europe was in ruins. Yet politically and socially, the years between 1943 and 1947 were a time of dramatic reconfigurations that proved to be foundational for the making of today's Europe. This volume homes in on the crucial period from the beginning of the end of Nazi rule to the advent of the Cold War. It demonstrates how the everyday experiences of Europeans during these five years shaped the transition of their societies from war to peace. The essays explore these reconfigurations on different scales and levels with the purpose of enhancing our understanding of how wars end.

"If you think you know Mexican cuisine", an "educational experience" awaits at Rick Bayless' "remarkable" River North "masterpiece", where "dynamite" tasting menus feature "food that's wildly inventive" yet still "approachable", backed by an "excellent wine list" and "cocktails that are works of art"; "knowledgeable, passionate" service and a "lovely", "upscale" setting (remodeled with a sculptural ceiling and dramatic lighting) are further reasons to "splurge here."
