7 Things You Won't Believe Science Says Make You Happy
#3. Riding the Subway
Nobody likes the subway. Even the thought of boarding an underground train is a nightmare -- awkwardly sitting next to muttering, pit-stained strangers as you struggle to keep your eyes from lighting on anyone else's for even a moment. It's a cramped metal coffin in a shallow grave where even the air smells crazy.
"I know, right? Nothing beats the scent of fresh schizophrenia in the morning."
Pissing gallantly in the face of all logic and reason, researchers in Sweden discovered that riding the subway can actually make you happy. They recruited participants who usually drove to work and made them change their routine to a daily subway ride instead for an entire month. Before the month began, the researchers asked each person questions about their lives, their well-being and generally how happy they were with their station in the world, presumably weeding out those who might be a little too fragile for the purposes of their study.
They also asked the participants how they were feeling about riding the subway for a month. Without exception, all of them felt like it was going to be a nightmare. But that's not what happened. Over the course of the month, their moods and attitudes toward the subway slowly but steadily improved, like a tortoise nursing an erection for sustainable behavior. So much so that by the time they reached the end of the month, the participants were feeling better about their general well-being than before the experiment began. Riding the subway made them more content with their lives.
"And this is a hobo who lost his legs to a drunk driver. It made me proud to be drunk on the subway!"
That's right: The cramped tube and bizarre mutant lunatics actually made them happier. The subjects' responses suggested that this was because of something called the focusing illusion. Basically, the idea is that we tend to overemphasize the negative aspects of things without giving the positives their fair share. The participants were so focused on being stuck next to stinky maniacs that they didn't realize how low-stress public transportation can be -- you're free to read, take a nap or just sit quietly with your own thoughts. When you're driving yourself through rush-hour traffic to work every morning, you pretty much stay tense and agitated for an hour or more, with no chance to relax. Taking the bus or the tube every once in a while could actually improve your general well-being, provided you aren't Bill Paxton in Predator 2.
#2. Doing Chores
Traditionally, no one likes to do chores. They're what our parents punished us with when we were growing up, and they're what we're stuck doing now every time somebody dies in our apartment. For our lives to be truly blissful, we'd have to have a butler, or be allowed to just hose everything down once a week and order all our meals from Panda Express (ideally, we would have a butler and he would do both of those things for us). However, researchers have found that this is actually completely wrong.
"Stop complaining, you want to clean your room. Science says so."
In a study of more than 30,000 people from 34 countries, it was shown that the more housework that men did, the happier they became. It's suggested that men are generally more supportive of gender equality than was previously thought, and so when they see their wives doing housework by themselves, they feel guilty about not helping out. So, they heave themselves off of the couch/floor/toilet and grab a dust mop, and subsequently feel more content with their role in the household.
On a more specific note, researchers have also found that mowing the lawn is great for you. When green grass is cut, it releases a certain chemical that blocks stress receptors in your brain, so the act of trimming your front yard can actually calm you down. In addition, you get a decent cardio workout from pushing the lawnmower back and forth, which releases endorphins that also make you feel pretty awesome. People with riding mowers presumably replace the cardio bonus with the psychological benefits inherent to tearing around on a toy truck with giant, roaring murder weapons underneath.
"Destroying living things with a whip powered by explosions really validates my humanity."
#1. Thinking About Death
Death is a difficult thing to wrap your mind around. Some people never come to terms with it. You are dead much longer than you are alive, your existence temporary and your nonexistence permanent. It's a tough concept to reconcile, and there's no possible way it can be anything but depressing, right?
Nope. As it turns out, when people think about death, they generally become more pleasant and less crotchety, making better company for everyone around them.
"Hey, girl! Oh, not much, just contemplating the futility of life and the never-ceasing approach of eternal darkness."
To test the effects of mortality-pondering, researchers examined how people behaved when death had been introduced to their minds, even in the subtlest way possible. In one experiment, they had a group walking right beside a cemetery and another walking a block away next to nothing in particular. An actor would pass both groups and "accidentally" drop a notebook right in front of them. The group closer to the cemetery was 40 percent more likely to help the actor pick up the notebook. The researchers believe that this is because the graveyard made them think about death and, subsequently, how they might live with a little more charity and fellowship while they still could.
The connection may seem like a bit of a leap, but there are several other studies that support this theory. One saw that people with a higher awareness of death were more likely to engage in conservational behavior (like recycling), and another found that when reminded of death, people are more likely to use sunscreen and quit smoking, and generally be more patient with each other. So why does the looming presence of death make us behave more decently? For pretty much the same reason the researchers in the notebook test came up with -- when we're reminded of our own mortality, we want to be better people and make our short time on this world more positive and valuable.
"All the hours I've wasted watching Lost ... I could have been watching The Wire on DVD!"
So, as strange as it might feel, give your own mortality a think every once in a while when you're feeling blah. Or you can just wait for one of the many scientists around the world who apparently go around reminding people about death before making them perform seemingly unrelated and nonsensical tasks.
Now that Cracked has completely changed your life for the better by leading you down the path to enlightenment (you're welcome, by the way), watch this video and be happy.
XJ would like to dedicate this article to the only person in the world who (intuitively) makes him happy -- Nadia. You can read more from him on his writing blog, and he'll love you for an entire minute if you follow him on his Twitter.
But before you go getting all gleeful and shit, check out 5 Things You Think Will Make You Happy (But Won't) and 5 Scientific Reasons Your Idea of Happiness Is Wrong.

Global warming is a 'nightmare' for coffee.
Man-made global warming has "affected Kenyan coffee production through unpredictable rainfall patterns and excessive droughts, making crop management and disease control a nightmare." Joseph Kimemia, director of research at Kenya's Coffee Research Foundation (CRF), told reporters that hotter temperatures and unpredictable rainfall are damaging his nation's ability to grow coffee:
We have seen climate change in intermittent rainfall patterns, extended drought and very high temperatures. Coffee operates within a very narrow temperature range of 19-25 degrees (Celsius). When you start getting temperatures above that, it affects photosynthesis and in some cases, trees wilt and dry up. We have see trees drying up in some marginal coffee areas.
Global warming-related droughts, heat waves, and climate change are also damaging coffee production in top exporters such as Uganda, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Nicaragua, as growers are "being forced uphill to higher altitudes, at a rate of three to four meters a year on average, as temperatures rise."

And later this month, when you download his forthcoming mixtape (available May 22 at www.davidbanner.com) you can't help but be challenged.
Yes, much of the music on Sex, Drugs and Videogames, will sound like what you hear on the radio. Or at the club. And it should. It's created by one of hip-hop's formidable producers – that'd be Banner – and features collaborations with top acts like Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown and Snoop Dogg.
The mixtape is free. He's hoping fans will kick in a $1 donation that will ultimately help fund an independent film and support a yet-to-be-named charity—and it'll all work if he can clear $2 million paid downloads.
And if you know anything about 38-year-old Banner, his music and his message usually has some sort of double entendre to it. Before he graduated from Southern University, he served as student body president (he also went to the University of Maryland for his masters in education, but didn't finish), so Banner (real name Lavell Crump) is used to standing up and being a voice for the people. His people. When he wasn't crafting music behind the boards for hot-selling music (he's also produced for gospel duo Mary Mary and most recently 9th Wonder), he was standing in front of Congress in defense of hip-hop.
Banner talks with EBONY.com about his music, his mission and why he actually never really wanted to be hip-hop's de facto spokesperson.
EBONY: This is an interesting concept…
David Banner: Yeah, and what's cool is some of the music is sex, drugs and videogames, but the underlying meaning is … I'm asking the world 'what's your favorite song on here? We've got all these artists, what's your favorite song? Why do you like that song? Why does this song make you feel this way? Why, in a lot of cases, when we hear certain things does it have to be derogatory towards ourselves for us to like it?' Then I ask the question to the rest of the world, 'if the only thing that you feed our people is sex, drugs and violence, why are you so surprised when that's what we regurgitate?'
EBONY: So this album is a social statement?
"The fear that America has for young Black men is not justified. We don't do nothing to them. We may do on-the-surface stuff like break in your house or car or something, but Black men don't do nothing to nobody but themselves."

We are not "old Black" nor "new Black" we are ALL Black.
DB: Not all the way. That's part of it. It's a component. I'm asking that through the interludes. The album is what it is. It's just jamming, you know, just good music. But while I have my folks' ears open, I'm just asking a couple questions and you answer them on your own, however you want to answer. It's just something that I want you to think about as you listen to these songs. The thing that I fear now is that we're raising a generation of kids … that don't think about slavery, they don't think about the '60s, discrimination, they don't think of the mental stress that our folks went through. I did nine movies, seven of those movies I was just getting out of jail or a drug dealer. Is this the only type of role that I can get? If you flip through the channels right now, in most cases that's all you ever see a Black man that's over six foot tall playing. So what does that tell our children? What does that tell our men? Just questions.
EBONY: You've become the de facto spokesperson for hip-hop over the years. We see you speaking on Congress about the music, on MTV doing voter registration and education initiatives. Why is this an important role for you to take on?
DB I honestly don't know where it comes from. I always say God put it on my spirit, because my environment wasn't conducive to that. But being from Mississippi—and historically watching how people have treated my people and— the fear that America has for young Black men is not justified. We don't do nothing to them. We may do on-the-surface stuff like break in your house or car or something, but Black men don't do nothing to nobody but themselves. So I never understood that, like, it's not justified.
EBONY: So what you're saying is that Black men hurt each other, they're not necessarily going in to White communities and hurting them, right?
DB: Yeah, we're not bothering nobody but ourselves. Now you can always find an exception to the rule.
EBONY: Is that why you've been so vocal about the George Zimmerman case? You recently were invited to speak at Harvard University.
DB: I think one of the things that hit me the hardest was just where we are in America. I really think one of the things that hits me in the chest the most, is that a lot of our people

I shall be getting an eBook reader soon, and was wondering if it will help in boosting my productivity. I could see activities such as searching data of books could be faster. I could immagine that the annotation I made could also be searched through as well. The other advantage is that I can carry so many more books in the eBook reader than I can physically carry.
I haven't used an eBook reader before so I don't have any pre-conceive idea on any productivity boost.
By the way, I am getting Kindle 3.

Let $N$ be an object in a symmetric monoidal category. Then the braid map $N\otimes N\to N\otimes N$ is almost never the identity, and this is the obstruction to making a symmetric monoidal category into a "strict" symmetric monoidal category, in which the functor $\otimes$ is commutative on the nose. For example, when $\otimes$ is just the categorical product in the category of sets (or any other concrete category), this is the map $(x,y)\mapsto(y,x)$ which is almost never the identity.
However, one case in which the braid map is the identity is in the category of invertible modules over a commutative ring $R$, as a full subcategory of all modules. Indeed, the braid map $R\otimes R\to R\otimes R$ is the identity, and any invertible module $I$ is locally isomorphic to $R$, so the braid map $I\otimes I\to I\otimes I$ is locally equal to the identity and hence equal to the identity.
What I'd like to have is a more conceptual explanation for why the braid map is the identity for invertible modules, which does not use the fact that they are locally free (indeed, I'm interested in this because I want to use this to prove invertible modules are locally free in a more general setting). Unfortunately, the proof cannot just be abstract nonsense involving invertibility--for example, if we work with graded modules over a commutative ring instead of ordinary modules and use the usual sign conventions, then the braid map will be -1 rather than 1 on invertible modules concentrated in odd degrees. Does anyone know of a better explanation, or know a reason I shouldn't expect there to be one?
EDIT: Inspired by Charles's answer, here's a closely related question. I'm really interested in invertible objects in the derived category, and in the derived category dualizable objects can be represented by finite chain complexes of finite-rank projective modules. Over a local ring, then, all dualizable objects have an Euler characteristic which is an integer (as opposed to an arbitrary element of $R$). Since as Charles noted, the braid map of an invertible object can be identified with its Euler characteristic as a dualizable object, this implies that the braid map of any invertible object in the derived category of a local ring is $\pm 1$ (and so if you're willing to suspend your objects if necessary, you can assume it is 1).
Thus I would be satisfied with a conceptual answer to the following question: why is the Euler characteristic of a dualizable object in the derived category of a local ring always an integer? (It may be more natural to not assume that the ring is local, in which case you should replace "integer" with "integral linear combination of idempotents".)

6 People Who Turned the Tables on Government Surveillance
#3. The Crook Who Had a Leg Up on the Government
Christopher Lowcock had two problems (three if you count his name). One, he had a couple of drug offenses under his belt. Two, he had only one leg. The first problem meant he had to adhere to a curfew and wearing a court-mandated GPS tracker, and the second meant he wore a prosthetic leg. But what if one of his problems could solve the other?
Lowprick hatched a brilliant plan. When it came time for a contracted security firm to attach his monitor, tricky Chris pulled a switcharoo. Instead of letting the guard put the monitor on his one real leg, he jutted out the fake one. And the guard slapped the tracker on it because apparently he couldn't tell the difference. At this point, we're going to assume Lowcock wasn't sporting one of those high-tech new bionic-man prosthetics:
"My legs are fine. I just prefer impossibly tight multihued jeans."
Needless to say, whenever Bottomjunk wanted to break his curfew, he just removed the leg and hopped out the door. Or he replaced it with a spare. Probably that second one. In either case, he was free to go out and drug it up or drink and drive or whatever it was that got him into trouble in the first place, because according to his tracker, he was sitting at home knitting. Even though a second guard came by to check up on him and to make sure his equipment was working well. Either Lowcock was sporting a Real Doll-esque leg or neither guard had working eyes.
"Now who let all these moose in here? Shoo! Shoo! Get out of here!"
Especially since the private security firm hired to attach monitors had a whole set of protocols for this exact situation, which tells us it had happened at some point before. We're no geniuses, but we're guessing one of those steps was to pinch or prick the leg or something -- anything to make sure the limb was real. It wasn't until a third guard visited Downdick for a follow-up appointment that anyone suspected something was amiss. Their big clue? He wasn't home. He had been arrested for driving without insurance. The two guards who couldn't tell flesh from a hole in the wall were promptly fired, then mocked on a national level.
"There we go. Is that too tight?"
#2. Undercover Agent Infiltrates Hippie Vagina, Goes Native
Secret agent rule number one: Don't fall in love with the enemy. Bond knew it, Nikita knew it, even Spy Hard knew it. But British agent Mark Kennedy didn't know it. Maybe that's because his "enemies" weren't deadly femme fatales or exotic henchmen -- they were bohemian hippie girls.
The kind who always look like they either just showered or haven't in days.
In 2003, Police Constable Mark Kennedy started working with the National Public Order Intelligence Unit as an undercover mole tasked with the job of deeply penetrating protest groups and bringing them off into the firm, supple hands of justice as hard and fast as possible. What kind of protest groups? All of them, apparently. Anarchists, environmentalists, animal ones, people who insisted on the BBC getting Ab Fab up and running again.
And before you picture a bunch of artsy fartsy goofballs lounging around, playing bongos and passing the doobie, we're talking about hardcore activists, the kind of people who infiltrate power stations to shut them down. So it certainly made sense for the British government to want to keep tabs on them. Enter Mark Kennedy, aka Mark Stone, aka "Flash." But there was a problem: He got emotionally invested in his protest mates. With his dick.
Via Guardian
If a guy like that is nailing multiple hippie chicks, you know he plays a mean acoustic guitar.
During his seven-year-long career as an undercover cop, Kennedy reportedly slept with several different women, under the all-too-convenient rule that to not sex it up would mark him out as a narc. Eventually, however, his government-sponsored rendition of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo came to an abrupt end when his activist friends began to suspect that there was something up with Mr. Cool. Maybe it was the flights he took to the United States every few weeks that gave him away. As if a hippie could afford to fly. At one point his so-called friends rifled through his stuff and discovered documents revealing his real identity.
Worse still, during the trial of the group he infiltrated, Kennedy suddenly had a change of heart and refused to give evidence against the group's members, resulting in the complete and utter collapse of the case. Sadly, however, the aforementioned members did still remember how badly their shit got fucked up, leaving Kennedy without any "We owe you our freedom, how can we ever repay you" sex.
"But you said I was your moon baby star dove-wolf! You said we'd raise alpacas together!"
#1. The FBI Infiltrates a Mosque With a Fake Terrorist, the Mosque Calls the FBI on Him
In 2006, the FBI instructed Farouk al-Aziz, real name Craig Monteilh, convicted forger, to infiltrate the Islamic Center of Irvine in California and spy on the worshipers there to see if they were planning any terrorist activity. In post-9/11 America, this is considered both "legal" and "totally not racist." Also, the feds had already visited two months beforehand to reassure the patrons that they weren't going to be specially targeted for surveillance. The oldest trick in the book, baby!
"Go about your business. I am just an ordinary citizen, worshiping in my local mosque."
At first, things proceeded well. Monteilh integrated himself well into the congregation and was known for staying at the mosque all day, which is something that not even hardcore Muslims have the patience for. However, when designing his state-of-the-art recording devices to masterfully blend into his surroundings, Monteilh's handlers settled on the brilliant idea of hiding them inside a keyring, which was mounted on a set of Monteilh's actual house keys. Monteilh was thus forced to start leaving his keys around the mosque, which eventually people started to notice.
Monteilh then seemingly lost patience with the slow methodology of the investigation (see "staying at the mosque all day" above) and turned to insane levels of entrapment, which included sidling up to one man and saying "It's good that you guys are getting ready for the jihad" and flat-out telling a car full of poor souls that he had access to weapons they could all use to go and blow up a mall.
"What do you mean? I am wearing the traditional clothing of my people AND NOW I STAB AND SCREAM!"
Again, this was not a terrorist training camp the guy infiltrated. It was a random mosque in California that happened to be near Monteilh's home. Eventually, finding that they had an Islamic terrorist in their mosque, the worshipers did what anyone would do: They freaking called the FBI and said they had a terrorist in their mosque. When the guy still wouldn't stay away, they filed a restraining order against him on the grounds that he was clearly crazy and dangerous.
"Hey, man, I think it's great that we're all terrorists. You guys wanna go do some terror with me?"
The whole case fell apart shortly after that, and Monteilh himself sued the FBI. The FBI insists that he did get another worshiper at the mosque on tape agreeing to help him blow up a building, but they dropped the charges against him. That makes us wonder if the quote wasn't something akin to "If I agree to blow up a building, will you fucking leave me alone?"

6 Mind-Blowing Ways Poop Created the Modern World
We here at Cracked take pride in our research department's ability to find the most mundane things and figure out how they changed the world, and also to make as many poop jokes in a 2,000-word article as is humanly possible. Delight in the head-on collision between the two as we discuss how poop has managed to change the world in utterly profound ways.
#6. Poop Is the Reason Complex Life Evolved
Millions and millions of years ago, evolution was in a bit of a slump. The Earth, instead of the blue planet bustling with life that it is today, was just some overheated rock with a lot of single-celled bacteria floating around. Evolution remained at a standstill for some three billion years, until getting suddenly jump-started by a process that has always mystified scientists.
Well, according to Australian geoscientist Graham Logan, the miracle that came along to cause the planet to explode with life was shit.
"We've been telling you this for years, sheeple."
Or specifically, the first creatures capable of shitting.
The problem, Logan says, was that at the time the oceans were very low on oxygen (i.e., the stuff pretty much every non-plant on Earth breathes) and very high in carbon. It just wasn't a mix that was conducive to a thriving ecosystem.
"Fuck you, ocean! I'm sick of your shit!"
But then came the shitters. These multicellular creatures could eat plankton and, more importantly, poop out dense turds of carbon that promptly sank to the ocean floor. Over millions of years, they turned the upper sunlit levels of the oceans from a carbon-rich dead zone into an oxygen-rich life factory that gave birth to the entire ecosystem we now know and love.
All thanks to this army of tiny, heroic shit machines.
"And that's why what I'm doing in the swimming pool is perfectly normal, Cheryl."
But poop's work in the ocean would hardly be finished ...
#5. Poop Saves the Ocean's Ecosystem
Here's a difficult question: What makes the ocean work? If you said "poop," then that's great, you're already familiar with the premise of this article. If you said specifically "whale poop," then ... um ... spoiler alert in the header image!
But that is what whale biologist Joe Roman believes. According to his recent study, the very basis of the ocean's ecosystem relies directly on whale shit to function. As it turns out, the anal-bullets of whales have all the necessary nutrients (such as nitrogen and iron) needed to support marine life.
Via Sciencedaily.com
Everything on this diagram would make an awesome name for your prog rock band.
Previously, it was assumed that all the microorganisms took care of that, but Roman's study found that those microorganisms couldn't exist without the titanic dump flotillas whales produce. There simply isn't any other source in the ocean that provides the necessary nutrients in abundance. No other creature takes shits that size.
OK, but how often does he go swimming in the deep ocean?
But that's not all. Another study into whale poop (yes, as it happens there are several) found that it was also crucial to controlling global warming. Scientists discovered that sperm whale shit alone had the ability to draw down 440,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and into the ocean, sort of like air scrubbers made of pure excrement. Then that carbon gets feasted on by millions of plankton, and the plankton get eaten by the whales, and the whole process starts all over. Boom, circle of life.
We're pretty sure Elton John wrote a song about it.
In fact, researchers say that if we weren't hunting whales so much (ahem Japan), their shit could remove 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Whale poop is essentially keeping the ocean, and the whole goddamn planet, clean.
#4. Poop Allowed Ancient Humans to Discover the Americas
Contrary to what our calendars seem to tell us, Columbus did not discover America. There's a lot of dispute over who did actually find the continent, with theories ranging from the Vikings to the Chinese, but the most common belief is that tribes migrated into Northern Canada from Russia.
Back then, North America and Asia were connected by a thin strip of land at the Bering Strait in Alaska. The details on the migration have always been slim, since it took place so long ago (waaaay before things like recorded history). For instance, one thing scientists have always debated over is the actual logistics of the migration -- we're talking about a long, frigid trek made entirely on foot. And there's also the question of why.
We can only theorize.
The answer may be, you guessed it, poop.
First, you have to picture what this migration would have looked like. Northern Canada, after all, isn't really known for its lush forests and fertile lands, but rather its magnificent amount of snow and devastating, remorseless cold. Consequently, there really isn't much wood or coal in ready abundance that could have been burned for everyday tasks like cooking food and not freezing to goddamn death. However, something they do have in abundance is yaks, and their accompanying igloo-sized mounds of colonic eruption.
Don't let the colors fool you. He will poop the skin off of your face.
Scientists now believe that the migrating tribes' source of fuel for their fires -- and the very fuel that allowed them to migrate to America -- was yak poop. The idea is that, just as certain tribes of American Indians would follow the buffalo across the country because they depended so heavily on the animals, so would these earlier tribes follow the yak. They'd use the yaks for food and clothing, and burn their shit to prepare their meals and stay warm as they moved across continents.
Which is to say, the humans didn't even want to migrate -- they just went where the poop took them. There were almost no other sources of fuel for the tribes to use, essentially forcing them to survive entirely on flaming yak turds. So, they followed the yak, as it was essentially their one-stop shop for every aspect of daily life. And, as the yak wandered into North America, so did the humans, following a brown trail right into world history.
"Do you mind? I can't go when you're staring at me like that."

I am currently learning about the Fourier Transform and the associated Fourier Analysis.
So far I realize that it has a number of applications, but more than that it seems to be central to Functional Analysis.
I am trying to understand why this is the case.
In particular, I was wondering whether it is the Fourier Transform itself that is so fundamental, or whether it is only the process of a linear transform that makes it seem "special". So for example, the Laplace Transform is also linear, but my impression is that it has a less prominent role in functional analysis.
Edit: I just found this question was also posed on Math Overflow some time ago, and received a couple of highly interesting answers (for those that are interested, here is the link).

What Bracha do you make on Quinoa?

While in the culinary world it's treated sortof like a grain, it's neither the five grains recognized by the Talmud (wheat barley spelt oat* rye), nor the two semi-grains (rice and millet); so to the best of my knowledge, you'd treat it just like beets (quinoa's closest edible cousin) or peas or any other vegetable: ha'adama as it grows from the ground (and is annual, not perennial).
If you ground it or pureed it to the point where it didn't look like anything but a mush, it would then be shehakol (no different than if you pureed peas). But if you sit down to eat a plate of cooked quinoa, just ha'adama before (and borei nefashot afterwards).
I know when I've done this, my brain has gone, "Huh? It looks like rice? Really, no mezonot?!" But that's the halacha!
'*' Disclaimer: oats are generally understood to be in the Talmud's list, but some scholars question if that's an accurate translation of the Talmud's term. Here I'm going with the standard practice, to include oats.
There is a lengthy and extremely detailed shu"t (responsum) by the Chief Rabbi - HaRav Mordecai Eliyahu on this issue that reviews the history of quinoa and concludes as Shalom notes - that it is borei peri ha'adama.

For the second time in four months the Shamrocks are state champions.
Trinity High School brought its exceptional basketball season to a crescendo March 17 at Rupp Arena, overwhelming Scott County 71-53 in the final of the PNC/KHSAA Sweet Sixteen and claiming the program's first state title.
Trinity, which beat Scott County to win the 6-A football title in December, became the only school in the state to win both crowns in the same school year since the KHSAA began sanctioning football in 1959.
"It's absolutely amazing," said head coach Mike Szabo. "I'm so proud of our team and just so happy for them. To watch them celebrate for each other and cut down the nets — that is truly special."
Using a balanced attack and stifling defense, the Rocks (35-3) subdued the Cardinals in the championship game before 14,064 fans.
Charles Foster led the way with 18 points, Troy Saxton and Darryl Hicks added 13 apiece and James Quick chipped in 10. Tournament MVP Nathan Dieudonne netted 12 points and grabbed 12 boards.
Scott County was led by Tamron Manning, one of five finalists for Mr. Basketball, who scored 10 of the Cardinals' 12 first-quarter points and finished with 28.
Manning didn't get much support, though, and Scott County (34-5) was held to a season-low 53 points.
"We wanted to be very physical, deny and make it difficult for them to run offense," Szabo said of his team's defensive strategy in the final.
A deep bench and the outstanding play of Dieudonne keyed wins over Bullitt East, Clark County and Pulaski Southwestern in the tournament's first three rounds.
The 6-foot-6 Dieudonne, also a Mr. Basketball finalist, averaged 17.5 points and 8 rebounds in four Sweet Sixteen games.
When starters James Quick and Darryl Hicks were benched against Clark County in the second round for breaking team rules, it was Dieudonne who picked up the slack, registering 25 points and eight rebounds.
"I just happened to be the one with the hot hand," said Dieudonne, who has signed with Boston University.
"(Having strong reserves) gives you a lot of confidence," he added. "We've got a lot of guys that come off the bench, from Miles (Rice), DeMarcus (Page) and Craig (Owens) down to Damon (Thurman) and Andrew (Perito). Everybody can really play."
After cutting down the nets and hoisting the hardware, the end of the season was still bittersweet for Szabo.
"We've enjoyed the ride with these guys," he said. "We're thankful about the way that it did end, but … when you have a special team like this you don't want it to end."
Mr. Basketball
Joining Dieudonne and Manning as finalists for Mr. Basketball are Moore's Mekale McKay, Buckhorn's Matt Day and Rowan County's Adam Wing.
Winners of Mr. and Miss Basketball will be announced on April 28.
Bowling State Championships
The inaugural Ebonite/KHSAA State Bowling Championships will take place March 22-23 at Executive Strike and Spare on Phillips Lane. The boys' team competition begins Thursday at 7:30 a.m., followed by the girls' at 1 p.m.
Friday's individual tournament begins at 7:45 a.m.
Regionals were held earlier this month and the top two teams and top four individuals advanced.
Greater Louisville is represented by regions three and four.
Here are the qualifiers:
Region Three:
- Girls' Teams – North Bullitt (Region Champ) and PRP.
- Girls' Individuals – Mercy's Shelby Thompson (RC), Bullitt Central's Megan Helm, North Bullitt's Kaitlyn Kinnaird, PRP's Allie Henon.
- Boys' Teams – PRP (RC) and Fern Creek.
- Boys' Individuals – Fern Creek's Jo Jo Miller, PRP's David Davis (RC), George Eberhardt and Anthony Alvey.
Region Four:
- Girls' Teams – Sacred Heart (RC) and Male.
- Girls' Individuals – Male's Marissa Thomas (RC), Manual's Raylin Benningfield, Amber Kleitz and Laynie Shulak.
- Boys' Teams – Trinity (RC) and Manual.
- Boys' Individuals – Trinity's Chase Donohue (RC), Male's Michael McCubbins, Manual's Kiefer Hillerich, and Cameron Shulak.
St. Xavier Signees
After capping their prep careers with a state championship in November, four St. X soccer players have signed national letters-of-intent to compete at the next level.
Gabe Stewart (Lipscomb University), Neil Henley (Xavier University), Danny Belza (University of Massachusetts) and Mitchell Metzger (Eckerd College) were key members of the Tigers' regional title team in 2010 and state champion squad in 2011.

I have been trying to get my weight down on longer backpacking trips. I have already taken to buying very strong soap and using very little, but I was wondering is there something I can replace the dish soap with that will still clean whatever I cooked in that can be made/scavenged in the wilderness?
What I do is carry a small microfiber cloth. First I rinse my dishes, then I swish with a small amount of boiling water (usually left from our post dinner coffee), and wipe with the cloth. Voila, clean dishes.
Sorry I missed the part about "found in the wilderness". Given that just skip the cloth and use the water ;)
Another note. If the above method will not clean your dishes, then you should first look to changing other things in your efforts to hike light. Cooking when backpacking light should not involve any methods which require significant "elbow" grease when cleaning up. The same goes for dishes. We carry super light silicone bowls because they are the easiest for us to clean.
Yes you can. And more to the point, you should (save weight, and leave no trace).
I have not found a backpacking cooking mess that could not be cleaned with a combination of (in this order):
Granted, the last 3 might not be the best idea on your fancy teflon-coated pots (but why are you using those anyway? Meet my old friend stainless steel)
Note: the omission of 'soap' is not accidental.
Bonus tip: Coffee grounds do a mean number on bacon grease.
An addendum regarding soap: NEVER use directly in a body of water / creek. Even "biodegradable" soap needs the enzymes found in soil to break down. Wash dishes (and you) well away from any water source. (Unless on a major river where 'dilution is the solution to pollution')
A long time ago, before people had consistent access to Lye or any of the oils we use in soap now, they made it out of what they had on hand. A common one would be wood ash and rendered animal fat ( tallow ).
There's guide on eHow on making said soap, but it appears to not only be time intensive ( rest time of over two months total ), but also involves hauling around a quart of tallow and your simple lye that the process generates.
There are likely simpler ways to do this that wouldn't take as long given the majority of the process is about waiting for the soap to cure in the mold into your desired shape. The recipe could also likely be greatly scaled down to reduce the needed materials to enough for your trip instead of a quantity of soap bars for home use.
The main problem I see here is that you would still need to bring your lye mixture with you even if you made use of camp fire ashes to bind it together, plus any environmental side effects of this soap.
You alternate to this is likely going to be elbow grease and steel wool.
Use Campsuds or something similar, don't bring household soap into the wilderness. The surfactants and phosphates in household soaps will cause more damage to the water supply than the biodegradable soaps like Campsuds.
I use "Wet Ones" instead of soap (if there's no convenient place to bathe). There's not a lot of weight advantage, but they're good for washing yourself in the tent. Since they are antibiotic, they're also handy to clean cuts, scrapes, and spoons.

What does the distance between a pickup and strings do for the sound? Should active and passive pickups be treated differently?
The distance from the pickup to the strings determines - in simple terms - the strength of the magnetic field acting on the strings. Since a standard magnetic pickup (active or passive) is an electromagnetic transducer, the output voltage is generated when a string vibrates in a magnetic field.
So far so good, what of the pickup height? The stronger the magnetic field around the string - achieved by bringing the magnetic polepieces closer - the higher the output generated. However, in this world you never get something for nothing: a stronger magnetic field will dampen the vibration of the strings, decreasing sustain.
Thus, finding the right pickup height is a matter of compromise and experimentation. You'll probably want the pickups high enough to generate a healthy signal, but low enough to allow the strings to vibrate freely. The exact height will depend on the strength of the magnets in the pickup.
Active pickups simply incorporate additional preamplification circuitry, so the principle is the same as for passive pickups.
There's one more important thing the answers so far haven't mentioned: a pickup's output signal doesn't follow the string movement simply in a linear fashion, but in a rather complex relation depending on inhomogenity of the magnetic field, coil geometry etc., and the closer you get the more nonlinear. The result is somewhat similar to a gentle but very asymmetric tube overdrive: you add some (predominantly even) overtones, and "straight-smear" inharmonicities. The result (in particular in connection with the increased inharmonicity through magnetic damping) means that a pickup close to the strings can sound something from agressive-growl to shrill-clang.
Apart from that, these nonlinearities behave quite unlike when you distort the entire guitar signal: there's no intermodulation between different strings (what makes powerchords fat and jazz chords muddy), nor dynamic compression that most distortion has as side-effect. So adjusting a pickup closer sounds very different from boosting a tube input gain to the same final level: more "direct", "fast", "wide", "hard", whereas a pickup further away with higher gain sounds rather mellow, sustained, "smooth", "bound".
As mentioned, having the pup close to the strings gives a hot signal and increases the magnetic dampening, but there is also an effect on tone as well. IIRC, having the pickup near the strings is more trebley and having them lower is more middy. (But it may be the other way around). Additionally, with most humbuckers having at least 1 coil with adjustable pole pieces, you can set the pup low and jack up the poles to get a bit of a blend, or set it high with the poles screwed down as far as poss. These sort of settings are far more subtle than the type of pup and moving between bridge and neck positions, so you'll need to experiment to find out what works for you, if you can even tell what's going on.
a good place to start as to string distance from string to pick-up pole are...
While fretting a note on your gits highest fret on the High E string the distance from the string to pick-up pole should be the thickness of a "DIME" for a Neck Pick-up
and the thickness of a "Nickel" for a Bridge Pick-up
REPEAT: on your Low E string

I want to generate a random elliptic curve over a prime field. What are the conditions I should satisfy?
For the NIST recommended standard ECC-224 bit curve with prime $p=2^{224}-2^{96}+1$, a reduction technique is given by $(z_1+z_2+z_3-z_4-z_5) \bmod{p}$, what is the logic behind in this?
There are several conditions that might need to be satisfied, depending on your needs. At a bare minimum the curve you generate needs to have a large prime subgroup. To determine this one can use any number of point counting algorithms, or alternatively use the complex multiplication method to generate a curve with the desired number of points.
Beyond large prime subgroup you may also want the twist to have a large prime subgroup to avoid attacks based on sending points on the twist. Point validation is another way to avoid them.
Sometimes a specific cofactor is required for certain parametrizations of the curve that can lead to more efficient calculations.
For details you can see DJB's analysis of his choices for Curve25519, as well as papers cited by the Explicit Formula Database. http://hyperelliptic.org/EFD/bib.html
Baring other requirements that you did not explain:
An elliptic curve can be written as $y^2=x^3+ax+b$. To generate a random curve over a prime field, choose $a,b$ at random from the prime field.

Chancellor Responds to Bowman Gray Stadium Legislative Action
- »
Memo to WSSU Community
Chancellor Reaves thanks all who helped make the campaign a success
"Today I want to take the opportunity to thank the broader Winston-Salem community, including the many individuals and institutions that supported the University's effort over those past two years. I know that many alumni, both local as well as from outside of Winston-Salem, worked on behalf of their alma mater by making calls and letting their support for the acquisition be known. Among the alumni and friends of the University who lent their support are two individuals that I want to recognize: Vivian Burke and Victor Johnson, both of whom are Trustees of the University."
"Last year after having our efforts rebuffed, Vivian Burke pulled me aside and offered some seasoned political advice. She said that if the local legislative delegation was not united around the initiative, 100 percent united, then it would fail. They were not and we did not succeed. This year's strategy was designed with that advice in mind. Victor Johnson, class of 1961, more so than anyone else, worked to insure that the leadership for the initiative was in place and that it remained strong. And as I have reported, our efforts, this time, were successful."
"I also want to thank the Winston-Salem Journal for its editorial support of the acquisition. Getting the message out to the broader community and reporting accurately as the process moved along was tremendously helpful. I also want to thank Ernie Pitt and the Winston-Salem Chronicle for keeping the community informed about most everything that takes place at the University."
"Again, our thanks go out to our alumni, to our friends and to everyone who listened to our story, believed our message, and supported our effort. Thank you very much."

I am relatively new to Arch Linux and I really like its rolling-release concept. Now what I want to know is that before I do a system update via
pacman -Syu, I want to create a restore point so that should my system update fail, I can go back to the last good state my computer was in before the attempted system update.
This is because once when I did a
pacman -Syu on my Arch install, it b0rked my system and wouldn't boot. It happened when I still had minimal to no essential files on my computer so I did a fresh install. But now that I sort of slowly built a system much to my liking, I don't want to reinstall it from scratch and do all the things I have already done again should a system update break it. With a restore point, I can most likely restore my computer without the hassle of reinstalling everything.
So, how so I create, and use, restore points in Arch linux?

ANDERSON, S.C. – Anderson University head volleyball coach Craig Mosqueda has announced that the Trojans have signed Marissa Mitter and Mallory McFerron to letters of intent, with the talented duo slated to join the squad for the 2014 campaign.
Mitter and McFerron join five signees who inked during the early signing period last November.
"Our last two additions definitely complement our five signees last fall," said Mosqueda. "This class was key to improving our standing in the conference as well as improving our ability to compete at the regional and national level. I am very excited about the fall and to see what this team will be able to do."
Mitter, a 6-foot outside hitter from Redondo Beach, Calif., is building on a stellar high school career and helped lead Head Coach Tommy Chaffins' Redondo Union Seahawks to a stellar 29-7 overall record during her senior season. She was a three-year varsity letterwinner for the Seahawks, while also competing in sand volleyball. The team is currently ranked second in the state with an 8-2 record.
"Marissa is the type of player who can play multiple positions and is just as effective at either position," added Mosqueda. "Marissa is very explosive offensively, is a very good defender and is super competitive. She will make an immediate impact on this team."
Mitter also plays for Club Troy, which is coached by University of Southern California Associate Head Coach Tim Nolan. Club Troy has already qualified for the USA Nationals, which are slated for late June.
"We knew two wanted to get a versatile and dynamic player going into the signing period," noted Mosqueda. "I had my eye on Marissa in the fall but we couldn't get her on campus before the early signing period. Once she visited and I saw her play in Las Vegas, I knew that she would be a great fit and that Marissa could be a force in the South Atlantic Conference."
Mitter also gets the job done off the court and will be expected to help the volleyball team compete for AU's annual academic award. Mitter has two sisters, Natalie (15) and Emily (12). Her parents are Todd and Margaret Mitter.
McFerron is a 6-foot-2 left-handed right side hitter, and is hometown product from Anderson, S.C. McFerron is coming off an outstanding prep career at Wren High School. As a junior, McFerron earned Offensive Player of the Year accolades and was named MVP as a senior. McFerron also earned All-State honors and was named Region Player of the Year during her career. She garnered two additional All-Tournament nods - at the Hillcrest Invitational and the Pickens Blue Flame Tournament.
"I noticed Mallory a couple years ago at a club tournament and then her team came to our team camp last summer" added Mosqueda. "She has impressed me with her growth as a player and I look forward to her continued growth."
McFerron has also enjoyed a very successful club career for Axis Elite and was chosen as an AAU Academic All-American last season. She has a brother, Garrett (21). Her parents are Curt and Barbara McFerron.
"Obviously the first thing you notice about Mallory is that she is 6-foot-2," concluded Mosqueda. "She is a good athlete and Mallory has turned into an excellent player over that past two years and will compete for a spot on the right side."

Cabbage rolls are a great idea! Not only can I use up the cabbage in the fridge, it's also an Egyptian dish made in the winter as a break from stuffed vine leaves. I've never made either though. Thanks for the inspiration.

Question is :-
$n$ is a positive integer. Call a non-empty subset $S$ of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ "good" if the arithmetic mean of elements of $S$ is also an integer. Further Let $t_n$ denote the number of good subsets of $\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\}$. Prove that $t_n$ and $n$ are both odd or both even.
And my solution to this problem is :-
We deal with problem in 2 cases : n is even and other when n is odd. If n is odd , we first calculate n={1,2} by brute force. We get numbers of solutions for n=1 as 1 & n=3 as 5. Thus we conjecture that $t_n$=$t_{n-2}+2(n-1)$ for n as even. So by this recurrence we calculate $t_5$ which comes to be 15. A brute force manual calculation confirms this answer . Thus we prove our conjecture by induction. Now $t_1$ is odd (=1) so $t_2$ has to be odd since $t_2$=$t_1+2(3-1)$,here $t_1$ is odd & other term is even thus overall parity is odd. So $t_2$ is odd. Again $t_3$ has to be odd as $t_3$=$t_2$+2(3-1), $t_2$ is odd & other term even , so $t_3$ is odd. So , inductively we conclude that $t_n$ has to be odd . For the other case we conjecture same recurrence relation and prove in the same way.

The following is a corollary of the Briançon-Skoda theorem:
If $R$ is a regular Noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$ and $f_1,f_2,...,f_{d+1}\in R$. Then, $f_1^df_2^d...f_{d+1}^d \in (f_1^{d+1},f_2^{d+1},...,f_{d+1}^{d+1})R$
Now, given $R=k[[x_1,...,x_d]]$ where $k$ is a field, then $R$ is a regular local ring, so the corollary applies. I was wondering if there is direct proof of the above corollary for the case of the power series ring. I remember reading that there is a direct proof for the case when $f_1,...,f_{d+1}$ are polynomials. Can anyone point to a reference for this.

Best time to visit Latvia
The best time to travel to Latvia is from June to mid September, when it's warm and plenty of local food is available. Temperatures from June to August are normally around 20-22 degrees Celsius (68-72°F) and are very pleasant. July and August are the warmest months but they're also the busiest months for tourists holidaying in Europe - outside of these times you'll experience less tourists. October and November have autumn rains and daylight is short. From early November to April, temperatures rarely rise above zero degrees Celsius (32°F) during the day and drop well below zero at night. Slush under foot is something you have to cope with in autumn, when snow falls then melts, and in spring, when the winter snow thaws.

The centrepiece of the Old Town dominates Riga's skyline. Thought to be about 800 years old, the spire has been rebuilt countless times in the same form. Climb to the top for sprawling views.
2. House of Blackheads
Destroyed in 1941, the House of Blackheads was rebuilt for the city's 800th anniversary. It's Dutch Renaissance facade hides a stunning Gothic building that the Soviets felt was too 'decadent'.
3. Swedish Gate
Follow Troksnu iela, the Old Town's narrowest street, to the 17th-century Swedish Gate. This is one of the last remaining parts of the fortifications and celebrates the Scandinavians' occupation of the city.
4. Riga Castle
Riga's 14th-century castle has been destroyed time and time again, but keeps rising from the ashes. These days it's home to the fascinating History Museum of Latvia.
5. The Cat House
Gaze up at the roof of the Cat House to see two feline sculptures perched on top. It's said that 100 years ago, the Latvian owner turned the cats' bums towards the Guild in protest of being blacklisted.

I've played this game for ten years and the most I have ever won is the FA Cup.
Just finished taking the Hammers to Premier League glory on goal difference with a 2-2 draw against second placed Arsenal on the last day of the season. If Arsenal won they were Champions. West Ham, Arsenal and Liverpool all finished on 75 points.
And I am absolutely buzzing, and it's only a game!!!
My Mrs thinks I have finally lost it!
Has anyone else felt such elation and felt slightly embarrassed about it due to the fact as I say, it is only a game?!

Let $R$ be a commutative regular local ring. Is it true that for every $p \in Spec(R)$ there is a finitely generated $R$-module $M_p$ such that projdim($M_p$) = ht($p$) and Ass($M_p$) = {$p$}?
Or is there some family of commutative noetherian rings, where is this true?
I know that this holds if R is commutative regular local of Krull dimension $\leq 4$ (up to dimension 3 it was easy, because factor rings $R/p$ where always CM, so we can take $M_p = R/p$. Dimension 4 was harder and in dimension 5 or more I don't know).
Is this an easy/hard/hopeless/already open/similar to something problem?
Thanks, David

I purchased the 59 Seconds book I've heard so much about on here. I'm going through the Motivation section, specifically the goal writing. In thinking about this, I realized I have so many things I would like to accomplish. Things like moving to an apartment, learning to cook well, learning a new technology, exercising and losing weight, and more. Just thinking about all the things feels a little overwhelming, even when dividing them into subtasks. It all feels like a lot to keep track of.
I'm not familiar with 59 seconds but the activities you named requires better organization and discipline than regular tasks. If you have a concrete goal to be reached say by the end of the year, you can estimate how many hours a week are required and arrange your schedule accordingly. What we're doing here is called breaking down a project in smaller tasks, which is the basics to both GTD and Pomodoro techniques.
Estimating can take some time if don't have a considerable experience in the area. In that case, don't bother being very accurate or it may consume a valuable time. Focus on setting specific goals concerning time and lenght of each individual task.
Schedule another search if needed or set the next step. This can be done for pretty much anything, from raising funds to buy an apartment - say 10% of your sallary - to losing weight - working out 3 times a week, 2 hours a day.
I'm going to throw GTD at you. This space is too short to cover that in its entirety, but the short version is, for your concern, you should break down your targets into different horizons. The one's suggested by GTD are:
And the GTD model then offers a way to organize that.
Of course, if you just write down two dozen "goals" and then don't know what to do with that, you'll be overwhelmed. It's just like someone having the neat idea of writing a "todo" list of 150 items and then feeling overwhelmed. You need to have something at the top that drives the goals (purpose, principles, vision) and something at the bottom that moves the goals forward and gets them done (projects, actions).
As an aside, I think not everything you listed as goals in your question are actually "goals" in this model. Some of them might be visions, some of them projects.
If you want to read up on that, I recommend David Allen's second book Making It All Work, which covers this aspect better than his first book Getting Things Done.
Alternatively, the even shorter version is, break your goals down into projects, break your projects down into actions. Don't worry, everyone will have a lot of those. Just make sure you clarify the actual actions, because you can't "do" a goal, but you can "do" an action.
I'm a little late to the party but I noticed something in your question I'd thought could be the crux of the issue. Was doing a search on this issue myself so I don't have this figured out, but I have an idea so let me know what you think.
You mentioned that you're breaking your goals into multiple tasks, which is great. I do this too, with wunderlist. Essentially it's 5 lists (my overall goals), and tasks within. I add to these lists every so often and eventually it gets overwhelming. I think the issue is that I have no idea which one to begin if I look at these lists. Like you said, there are 20+ tasks. Reading the other answers, I think everyone agrees that we need some time order to these tasks. If they occur one after another, you really shouldn't worry about any of the later ones, until after you worry about 1 or 2 that are the first steps of your goal. The tool that I used, Wunderlist, is really not good for this. Because whenever I get new ideas, and add them to the list, they get added to the top, and lose track of my old ones.
I recommend a tool (if you're using an app, program, or even text files to track this) that helps you keep the order of the list refreshed every time, so that the tasks of immediate concern are at the top. You might think of new things from time to time, and they might go on the top, middle, or end, but make sure they are ordered. This way when you look at your 5 overarching goals, you only should focus on the 5 top tasks.
Hopefully this makes it a little less overwhelming, for you and me both. I'm going to try this out myself now. Good luck.
It looks like you have got the approach of dividing in to sub tasks however getting it through in practical situation is causing some friction. A few cents from my side - have a look to "Win at Work: Navigate the Nasties, Get Things Done and Get Ahead " http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0749457112/buythisbooks-20 much near to ground contents. I used it before few years and observed the theories here have a huge payoff!
Let me know how you think about it.
Thanks Much, Tanmay Soni.
