Our Favorite Guilt-Free Ways to Eat Chocolate
Tim Hill/Alamy
Get Your Fix
Plain Ol' Dark Chocolate
Let's start with what we're all really craving: A hunk of plain chocolate. Diet disaster, right? Wrong. A one-ounce piece of dark chocolate amounts to only 151 calories, and its positive attributes don't stop there.
The flavonoids in chocolate are heart healthy, can lower cholesterol, and can even help prevent certain cancers, such as skin cancer. Dark chocolate is by far the healthiest option, as it contains less sugar and more antioxidants than milk chocolate or white chocolate. Stick to a small one-ounce serving when you really need it, and you can satisfy your next craving guilt-free.
Dark Chocolate-Covered Graham Crackers
- 4 small graham-cracker rectangles
- 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
Microwave chocolate chips for 30 seconds, until just melted.
Spread graham crackers with chocolate and let sit for 10 minutes, until chocolate has hardened.

The Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant is one of the largest nitrification/denitrification filter plants in the world with a design capacity of 96 million gallons per day average daily flow. It serves about 110,000 accounts in the City of Tampa and portions of Hillsborough County, Fla. Over the years, the quality of its treated effluent has been frequently cited as the primary factor behind the dramatic improvements in Tampa Bay's water quality and the return of its sea grasses, turtle grasses and game fish.
The facility is Tampa's only wastewater treatment plant so the volume and characteristics of the influent flowing into the plant vary constantly, making access to reliable real-time information critical for optimal process control. Years ago, plant managers recognized that attempting to operate the plant without timely information was akin to trying to hit a target's bull's eye while blindfolded.
To better inform its operators about the nitrification and denitrification processes, plant management invested in three ChemScan online process analyzers manufactured by ASA Analytics. For 15 years the ChemScan Analyzers have provided operators with automated sampling and online, real-time results. At two points on the six stages in the plant's nitrification reactors, they automatically draw samples and then analyze them for nitrate and ammonia.
"Online monitoring has removed the guesswork from optimizing our nitrification and denitrification processes," said Robert Decker, operations specialist. "We've used ChemScan as a tool to inform our operators when it's appropriate to start and stop blowers in our nitrification reactors. If the ammonia is creeping up in Zone 6, it means we're not converting everything, so we need to start a blower. At one time, operators relied on their experience to adjust the process because they didn't have access to timely information. Now online real-time data enables them to adjust the process much more efficiently. We're soon going to connect our analyzers to a PLC via the SCADA, which will enable the PLC to automatically adjust the blowers and provide more precise control."
Decker said by using the diffused aerators more efficiently they've saved energy and reduced operating costs. "We found that sometimes we didn't need that extra blower. In fact, sometimes we could get the job done by turning them down and saving power."
The ChemScan Online Analyzers use fully automated ultraviolet-visible spectrometry to measure absorbance levels across 256 wavelengths of light. A single process analyzer can monitor up to eight sample points, separately detecting ammonia, nitrite and nitrate from multiple process sample points or basins.
The plant's analyzers also are instrumental in controlling the denitrification process. Samples of the flow exiting the nitrification final tanks are taken and analyzed automatically for nitrates. The resulting value is used in a calculation sent through a PLC via the SCADA system to pace the methanol that feeds denitrification.
"We've saved on methanol costs," said Decker. "Before we had online monitoring, our operators had to run tests every hour and then make their adjustments. There are many variables that determine how much methanol you use ─ loadings, flows, even the time of year. All operators do things a little differently. One operator might adjust the nitrate value upward 5 points while the next guy might feel that is too much. However, it could be an hour before a scheduled test would detect it, so for that entire time, he would overshoot it. More consistent methanol pacing has resulted in more efficient use of methanol, which reduces our costs."
The plant has also saved on chemical costs and labor. Decker explained that reagents are mixed onsite from common chemicals, which costs less than purchasing reagents from distributors. "The time savings was significant. Before the ChemScans, every hour, operators did their tests for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and chlorine residual. And then they had to manually adjust it with the controller. Every hour we would test and, over time, that adds up to a lot of labor," he added.
The analyzers can monitor for phosphorus but the Curren plant's permit has a variance on that nutrient. Tampa Bay is the largest U.S. depository of "bone rock," which is the primary cause of background total phosphorus in the bay.
"Adding the ChemScan Online Analyzers was a game changer for us," said Decker. "Having access to accurate and timely information enabled us to improve our operations while reducing costs at the same time."

Transcriptome analysis by pyrosequencing: A new tool for assessing the response of marine animals to environmental stress
Sibel I. Karchner, Biology
Mark E. Hahn, Biology
Grant Funded 2008
Marine organisms are continually challenged by changing environmental conditions, including wide variations in temperature, pressure, salinity, oxygen tension, light, nutrient availability, or the concentrations of toxic chemicals (natural or anthropogenic). They respond to this variable environment in large part through changes in gene expression, which underlie adaptive physiological capabilities that serve to mitigate the environmental stress. Study of these adaptive changes in terrestrial and laboratory model organisms has been facilitated by the increasing number of sequenced genomes of these organisms, and the associated microarray resources for performing gene expression profiling. However, for the vast majority of marine organisms—and marine animals in particular—such resources are lacking. For non-model organisms without sequenced genomes, current approaches for measuring altered gene expression on a genome-scale are inadequate or prohibitively expensive.
Recently, the "next generation" of DNA sequencing technologies has increased the throughput and reduced the cost of DNA sequencing by orders of magnitude. The method of pyrosequencing on high-density picoliter plates pioneered by 454 Life Sciences (now Roche Applied Sciences) combines high-throughput (400,000 individual sequences per run) with long reads (currently ~250 bp, soon to be 400 bp) and high accuracy. We propose to conduct experiments that will provide proof of concept regarding the application of 454 pyrosequencing to studies of gene expression in response to environmental stress in marine metazoans. To do this, we will characterize the transcriptome of the Atlantic killifish (mummichog) (Fundulus heteroclitus) and measure the transcriptional response to environmental stresses, using hypoxia and toxic chemicals as examples. These studies will be the first application of pyrosequencing technology to combine transcriptome characterization and gene expression profiling in a marine metazoan. The pyrosequencing approach has great potential for application to a variety of problems in marine science, including studies in ecology, evolution, population biology, life history transitions, and adaptation to extreme and variable environments.

Quince has a culture similar to apples and pears, and may be grown successfully in both cooler tropical locations and colder temperate regions. The fruit is used fresh, stewed, preserved or made into jams and jellies.
Not fussy about soils except light, shallow soils likely to dry out; heavy, moist soils are particularly good and established trees can withstand periods of very wet conditions, but this does not mean that quinces like poorly drained situations. Susceptible to iron deficiency under alkaline conditions; hence they prefer slightly acid soils. Flowers late, but may still be damaged by late frost. Very susceptible to fire blight in much of the U.S.

No Place to Hide
August 20, 2011
This week, our town (Boonton, NJ) experienced a very unusual tragedy – a fatal shooting. Specifically, and man and wife were out with a young one in a stroller when they were fired on by someone(s) with
an assault rifle a gun of some sort. The woman was killed, the man injured, the child unhurt.
This happened several blocks away from us in this quiet residential town, our first hint being a hovering police helicopter overhead very early in the morning.
The husband's tale of what happened quickly unraveled, and he and a woman whom he knew were charged with murder. The man and his wife were not getting along and this was his plot to get rid of her – a staged shooting.
Senseless, brutal – and now, two young children have to live with the aftermath (as well as the entire extended family and community).
The smoking gun, in this case, wasn't necessarily the assault rifle. It was text messages, between the man and the shooter during the hours leading up to the shooting. Shoe-leather detective work figuring this crime scene out was vastly aided by damning bits and bytes found strewn all over the place.
Digital footprints. No need for photos, witnesses, fingerprints. The whole scheme was sketched out as a before-the-act confession.
There will always be people who get away with shady stuff, in business and in life. But the hiding places are getting scarcer. Cell phone records, texts, digital cameras, electronic toll tags, traffic cameras, digital documents, copier memories – as digital nodes proliferate, they shine light on previously-darkened hiding places.
I'd be a fool to think that people will stop doing evil things. And sometimes, I have deep concerns about the encroachment of digital everything on privacy. But as a citizen of a peaceful town, when something like this happens where we all walk our dogs and wave to our neighbors, I feel a certain sense of gratitude that there are fewer places to hide.
The helicopter didn't find the perpetrators. They phoned themselves in. Criminals, crooked business people, and politicians – take note.

Bob Hope Airport was among eight airfields across the nation that ranked in the top eight best alternative airports in the latest edition of Inc. magazine.
Here's what the magazine had to say about Burbank's airport:
With an on time departure rate comparable to that at LAX, Burbank is another excellent alternative airport that offers travelers an easy airport experience with lots of cheap parking, short lines at check in and security, and 29 unique destinations.
Despite the convenience, Bob Hope Airport has been grappling with months of declines in passenger numbers and parking revenues -- a vital source of income for the airfield. It also took a hit earlier this year when American Airlines pulled out.
The airport is moving ahead with a multi-million dollar transit center that will bring bus and rail lines together with rental car facilities. Officials hope the improved connectivity with regional transit lines will lure more passengers to the airport.
The other airfields on the Inc. list included: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport, Baltimore Washington International Airport , T.F. Green International Airport, Long Beach Airport, Dallas Lovefield Airport, Long Island—MacArthur Airport.

HCN rocks with eTown
ETown, the eco-groovy weekly radio music show based in Boulder, Colo., will honor HCN Founder Tom Bell and HCN's 40th Anniversary with its E-chievement Award at a special concert July 30 at the Redrocks Amphitheater near Denver. The "Greenrocks at Redrocks" event will feature great music from Lyle Lovett and Taj Mahal, a little stage time for HCN, and carbon-friendly transportation. For more information and tickets, go to etown.org. An interview with Tom Bell will air on eTown's radio broadcast of the concert, carried by more than 275 stations across the country.
Welcome, new interns
Here at HCN headquarters in Paonia, Colo., we've got a freshly arrived trio of interns who will work as staff reporters for the next six months.
Denver Nicks was born in Oklahoma and raised on politics. He received a bachelor's in political science and international studies from Southern Methodist University, then traveled to the Philippines as a Fulbright scholar. While there, he dodged bullets in a failed coup attempt (as an observer; he was not actually trying to take over the government). A recent graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Denver served as a representative for the Earth Institute Advisory Council in New York City.
As a staff writer for The Tulsa World and freelancer for The Daily Beast, Denver has long been committed to covering "underrepresented perspectives." He looks forward to combining his lifelong passions for Western politics and the environm ent at HCN. "The West may not all be wild anymore," he says, "but it is weird."
Emilene Ostlind has an omnivorous intellect and a bone-deep love for the land. While earning a triple bachelor's in environment and natural resources, humanities/fine arts and Spanish from the University of Wyoming, the Big Horn, Wyo., native led expeditions with the university outdoor program into the arid wilderness near Laramie.
After finishing her degrees, Emilene moved to Washington, D.C., to work as an assistant to the photo editor at National Geographic Magazine.
When the opportunity arose to join a National Geographic photographer on assignment in India, she grabbed it. The pair spent months tracking snow leopards in the Himalayas. Her experiences inspired her to believe "that writing and photography can actually change the world, can motivate people to take action on conservation and social issues."
Emilene also served as an assistant editor at her university's literary journal, The Owen Wister Review, where one of her fiction pieces was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. This spring, she completed a dual MFA in environment and natural resources and creative nonfiction at her alma mater. In further pursuit of world-changing writing, she has migrated to Paonia to sharpen her skills as a journalist with High Country News.
Adam Petry has long moved between the worlds of science and literature, something he will continue as an intern at High Country News.
In 2003, he traveled to South Dakota from his home state of Illinois to help reintroduce swift foxes and prairie dogs on media mogul Ted Turner's bison ranch. Since then he has worked as a field biologist, surveying bears in California, raptors in Montana and ocelots in Panama. When not doing fieldwork, he focuses on writing, most recently as managing editor of Ecotone, a journal of environmental literature. Adam holds a B.S. in wildlife biology from Truman State University in Missouri, and later this year he'll complete his master's of fine arts in creative nonfiction writing from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
At HCN, Adam hopes to report on topics ranging from endocrine disruptors to mineral law. He also anticipates Paonia's fruit crop with enthusiasm, "especially the monster peaches."

I've had some conversations recently about diabetes-related books and how useful it would be to have them on our (iPad, Android, iPhone, Kindle, Nook, etc). You'd always have them at hand and e-books typically cost a lot less (though you can't lend them to friends).
First a little summary of the various technologies for reading on different electronic devices. I've taken this information from the Wikipedia page on e-book formats on different readers. All of these devices can access web pages (HTML), though I don't know of any diabetes books available as HTML.
|Book Formats supported
|Android tablets/phones
|ePub, PDF. Kindle
|Kindle needs free software.
|iPad and iPhone
|ePub, PDF. Kindle
|iBook for ePub or free Kindle software
|Kindle 2
|PDF. Kindle
|Kindle 3
|PDF. Kindle
|Kindle Fire
|ePub, PDF. Kindle
I looked at the availability for some diabetes books that I've either read, or that have been recommended to me. Here's what I found – these are in completely random order.
- Think Like a Pancreas, 2nd edition by Gary Scheiner of Integrated Diabetes Services. Kindle, Nook.
- The Ultimate Guide to Accurate Carb Counting also by Gary Scheiner. Kindle.
- The Born-Again Diabetic by William Lee Dubois. Kindle, Nook.
- Taming the Tiger:Your First Year with Diabetes by William Lee Dubois. Kindle.
- Beyond Fingersticks by William Lee Dubois. Kindle.
- CalorieKing Calorie, Fat and Carbohydrate Counter 2012. Kindle.
- Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. Kindle. Nook. This isn't directly about diabetes, but I found it was really informative.
- Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. Kindle. Nook. Dr. Bernstein promotes a very low carb diet as a way to effectively control diabetes and lower insulin usage.
- The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes. Gretchen Becker. Kindle.
- Complete Guide to Carb Counting. Hope Warshaw. Kindle. Nook.
- Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes. Dr. Richard Jackson and Amy Tenderich. Kindle.
- 50 Diabetes Myths That Can Ruin Your Life by Riva Greenberg. Kindle. Nook.
- Diabetes Rising:How a Rare Disease Became a Modern Pandemic, and What to Do About It by Dan Hurley. Kindle. Nook. This is about why diabetes rates are increasing, not a book that may help you live with diabetes.
- Balancing Pregnancy With Pre-Existing Diabetes by Cheryl Alkon. Kindle. Nook. (Thanks Cheryl for the pointers.)
- Sugar Free Teens by Naomi Kingery. Kindle. Nook. (Thanks Naomi for the pointers.)
- Sugar Free Support by Naomi Kingery. Kindle. Nook.
What other books have you read? If they're available in e-book format, post a comment and let us know.
While I'm talking about reading, here's two useful newsletters that you can sign up for. The first is by the folks at Diatribe, who have also published the excellent report Targeting a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes, which you can get by signing up for their news letter.
The second is by Integrated Diabetes Services, you can read past newsletters here, and sign up for the newsletter on the front page of their site.
On another topic, I recently listened to a very interesting podcast by B.J. Fogg of the Stanford Persuasive Tech Lab where he was talking about effective ways to change behavior. He asked the audience how many would like to improve their flossing and got a response of about 60%. His suggestion? Floss one tooth every time you brush, that's easy to do and you'll quickly make it into a habit. Once you have the habit of flossing one tooth it's much easier to floss all of them. Since listening to this suggestion I've been flossing many of my teeth twice every day, a vast improvement over my previous attempts at flossing.
I believe this approach of habit formation followed by improving on the habit might work for many things including exercise or eating more vegetables. The Stanford Persuasive Tech Lab has a short slide show that provides ways to change your behavior depending on the type of change you want to make.
This slide from that presentation shows that there are many different types of changes depending on the behavior type and whether you want to change it once, for a period of time, or permanently.
They also have a Behavior Wizard that may help you to get started.
Diabetes is all about fine-tuning each and every day, setting good behaviors as a starting point can only help us all. I know that better exercising or flossing are both small changes, but they're difficult to accomplish and significant when you've done that. I hope these behavior tools can you help you out.
Update: I purchased The Gray Path guide for $15 (to decrease behavior from now on) from here. I'm going to see how it works out. It's 19 pages long, and covers reduction of triggers and other things.

OCLA donates to local VFDs
The Oak Creek Lake Association (OCLA) announced contributions of $1,000 to the Volunteer Fire Departments (VFD) of Blackwell and Bronte as well as $1,000 to each Emergency Medical Services (EMS) of Bronte and Blackwell for a total of $4,000 contributed.The City of Sweetwater owns Oak Creek Lake and surrounding property (with few exceptions) and leases lake lots to individuals. The lake is the major source of drinking water to the city of Sweetwater. The lessees pay taxes in Coke County and some lake lots pay Blackwell ISD taxes.OCLA came into being in 2008 as a coming together of lake lot lessees at Oak Creek Lake. The group at their May 2011 annual membership meeting unanimously approved the appropriations. Everyone recognized the life-saving work of the EMS and the VFD's that protect their investments and lives in eastern Coke County and supported rewarding the receiving organizations.The annual dues (set at $10 for 2011) of association members was the source of the funds. Membership in the association is limited to those who lease (or own) property around Oak Creek Lake. The association (a 501(c) entity) focuses on and addresses issues affecting lake lot folks.The Oak Creek Lake Association can be reached via Post Office Box 376, Blackwell, Texas 79506.

Jeb praises George's low profile
DALLAS — On the eve of George W. Bush's presidential library opening, Jeb Bush praised his brother Wednesday for keeping a low-profile since leaving office.
"I think my brother deserves a little credit for not sitting on the sidelines and publicly chirping," the former Florida governor told a civics group at a luncheon speech. "I think that's a great tradition in this country: that once you serve, you do your best and then you move on."
Story Continued Below
The potential 2016 Republican candidate began a policy-heavy speech to the World Affairs Council with only a brief mention of the real reason he's in town.
( Also on POLITICO: Jeb battles Bush fatigue)
"Of course, George and Laura are welcoming 30,000 of their closest friends to Dallas," he said.
When he ended the Wednesday speech with a long riff on the importance of "leadership," he commended a surprising ex-president: Lyndon Johnson. He announced that he has just finished reading the third volume of Robert Caro's biographies on Lyndon Johnson.
"A crazy guy in a lot of ways," he said of the Democrat who pushed the Great Society.
Bush credited LBJ with cutting taxes and passing the most far-reaching civil rights legislation in history in the weeks after John Kennedy's assassination.
"It wasn't done by sitting back," said Bush, who will not speak Thursday at the museum dedication ceremony. "It wasn't done by campaigning. It was done by personal engagement. He showed humility."
Bush praised Johnson for keeping Kennedy's cabinet, even though he knew its members didn't respect him, and for "shaming" Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.) into voting for the Civil Rights Act.
"We need people to get outside their comfort zones … leaders to have humility, to find consensus and compromise," Bush said.
The bulk of Bush's remarks focused on the need for high education standards and a call for comprehensive immigration reform.
Jeb Bush's son, George P. Bush, who is running for Texas Land Commissioner next year, introduced him lovingly as a "gray hair," a "voice of reason" and "an elder statesman within our party." He also highlighted his high popularity rating in Florida more than six years after he left office.
"George, 60 is the new 40. Watch out dude," Jeb, 60, joked to his son when he took the podium.

Picture a world where everyone keeps their New Year's resolutions. Everyone you know is 15 pounds lighter, there's a waiting list at the gym and kale is at the top of every fast food menu.
The New Year is a great time to make some goals to improve your health and fitness, but let's be honest, most people will lose their ambition after only a few weeks. In fact, according to U.S. News, 80 percent of New Year's resolutions fail by the second week in February. If you want to make those resolutions last this year, you're going to need to be strategic about it.
Be realistic
After a week – or a month – of holiday indulgence, it's easy to make lofty, or even extreme, resolutions. But if you're planning to lose 40 pounds by Valentine's Day, or spend 30 hours per week in the gym, you're setting yourself up to fail. Think about your past year and be realistic about what you can achieve in the near future. Keep in mind that an attainable goal is also measurable. So if your list includes "being healthier," it's time to get specific — eat six servings of vegetables a day, or hit that spin class three times per week.
A list can also help to ease into your resolutions. If you haven't seen the inside of a gym in three years, it's a bit unrealistic to say you'll be there every day at 5 a.m. Instead, start with a class twice a week and work up from there. New Year's resolutions are all about self-improvement, no matter how small the steps.
Bring a friend
Achieving your goals can be a long, lonely process. Some days, you might wake up fueled for an epic HIIT workout. Others, you'll lay in bed dreaming of a Big Mac. If you want to keep your motivation flowing, recruit a training buddy to join in on your workouts. According to Men's Fitness, a training partner can keep you accountable, make exercise more fun, push you to work out harder and give you an always-accessible spotter in the weight room.
The same idea works for your diet. Solicit the help of a friend looking to shed a few pounds, and make realistic goals together. Swap recipes, talk each other out of those french fries and report your successes (and even your failures) regularly.
Track your progress
As they say, you can't manage what you don't measure. If you want your resolutions to stick this year, you can start by holding yourself accountable. For example, if your goal is to lose 10 pounds by changing your diet, you can start by keeping a food diary every day and weighing yourself once a week. This will help you determine whether you're on track or if it's time to change your strategy. If you're looking to build some muscle, bring a notebook and pencil to the weight room to track your reps and weights. This won't just give you tactical information from which you can adjust your goal plan; it'll also serve as motivation to keep you going as you start seeing progress.
Do you have a good tip for making weight loss resolutions stick? If you've found something that works, share it in the comments.
Please consult with your physician before starting any workout regime to ensure the exercise is safe and right for you.

Buff Swedish Babes Dominate Arm Wrestling Championships
Fellas, we know how you like a strong woman. We also know how you like a fit, young, Swedish gal so we present the perfect blend — the 2011 Swedish Women's Arm Wrestling Team.
You probably already knew this, but over the weekend, Kazakhstan hosted the world arm wrestling championships. What you may not have known is that the Swedish women grappled their way to the top of the heap and strutted home with 12 medals. They won four gold, seven silver and one bronze. Suck on it national bikini team!
"We're a small country with strong people," said Andreas Johansson, vice chairman of Swedish Arm Sports (yes, there is such an organization). Strong people with whom you would not want to pick a fight. Two of the women who brought home gold by dominating with their right arms also took silver by dominating with their left arms.
The moral of the story: one should never anger a Swedish woman, nor bet on winning an arm wrestling match against her. Also you might want to avoid dating any of the ladies. Sex might be fun but you'll never want them to wrestle the arm in your pants.

AT&T and Verizon Wireless stores are going to start selling the iPad on October 28. Verizon will be selling the Wi-Fi only iPad, but bundling it with their Mi-Fi mobile hotspot service.
The cost for iPad Wi-Fi + Mi-Fi on Verizon will be $630, $730, and $830, plus a no-contract $20 for 1GB on the Mi-Fi EVDO data.
"This is the perfect pairing for holiday travels," said John Stratton, chief operating officer for Verizon Wireless. "iPad together with the nation's largest and most reliable 3G data network allows customers to easily connect on the go wherever they are."
"We're thrilled to be working with Verizon Wireless to get iPad into the hands of even more customers this holiday season," said Tim Cook, Apple's COO. "iPad allows users to connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before, and together with Verizon Wireless we're offering an easy way to stay connected wherever you go."
AT&T will be offering the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G at regular prices and under the existing plans.
"We can't wait to showcase the amazing features of iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in our stores across the country just in time for the holidays," said Glenn Lurie, AT&T President of Emerging Devices, Resale and Partnerships, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "With our breakthrough iPad data plans starting at just $14.99 and access to AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots around the country at no extra cost, our customers will have the best of both worlds."
"We look forward to expanding the reach of iPad, allowing even more customers to experience the magic of iPad for themselves," said Tim Cook, Apple's COO. "As we approach the holiday season, we are very happy that customers will now be able to buy iPad Wi-Fi + 3G at AT&T Stores."
Apple's holiday iPad retail onslaught is coming so fast and so furious that I'm literally running out of jokes to make about where we'll see it next... though I am about to set up a lemonade and iPad stand on the corner...
Anyone going to take Verizon up on their iPad + Mi-Fi?
[Verizon, AT&T, thanks Shawn for the tip!]

Revision as of 22:41, 8 December 2012
This article explains some methods for general troubleshooting. For application specific issues, please reference the particular wiki page for that program.
Attention To Detail
In order to resolve an issue that you're having with Arch Linux, it is absolutely crucial to have a firm understanding of how that specific system functions. How it works, and what does it need to run without error? If you cannot comfortably answer these question then it is strongly advised that you review the Archwiki article for the application/service that you are having troubles with.Once you feel like you've understood the specific system, it will be easier for you to pin-point the problem. Saying, "Program X doesn't work" is unacceptable. Precision is key.
The following gives a number of questions for you to ask yourself whenever dealing with a malfunctioning system. Under each question there are notes explaining how you should be answering each question, followed by some light examples on how to easily gather data output and what tools can be used to review logs and the journal.
Questions / Checklist
- 1. What is the issue(s)?
- Be as precise as possible. This will help you not get confused and/or side-tracked when looking up specific information.
- 2. Are there error messages? (if any)
- Copy and paste full outputs that contain error messages related to your issue into a separate file, such as
$HOME/issue.log. For example, to forward the output of the following mkinitcpio command to
$ mkinitcpio -p linux >> $HOME/issue.log
- 3. Can you reproduce the issue?
- If so, give exact step-by-step instructions/commands needed to do so.
- 4. When did you first encounter these issues and what was changed between then and when the system was operating without error?
- If it occurred right after an update then, list all packages that were updated. Include version numbers, also, paste the entire update from pacman.log (
/var/log/pacman.log). Also take note of the statuses of any service(s) needed to support the malfunctioning application(s) using systemd's systemctl tools. For example, to forward the output of the following systemd command to
$ systemctl status email@example.com >> $HOME/issue.log
>> will ensure any previous text in
$HOME/issue.log will not be overwritten.
- When attempting to resolve an issue, never approach it as
- Application X does not work.
- Instead, look at it in its entirety
- Application X' produces Y error(s) when performing Z tasks under conditions A and B
Additional Support
With all the information in front of you. You should have a good idea as to what is going on with the system. And you can now start working on a proper fix.
If you require any additional support, it can be found at irc.freenode.net #archlinux
Session permissions
First, make sure you have a valid local session within X:
$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID
This should contain
Remote=no and
Active=yes in the output. See xinitrc#Preserving the session for troubleshooting if it does not.
A dbus session should also be started along with X, in a way that exports a single
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS for every application in your session. If you use a desktop environment this will be handled for you, otherwise you can copy the code from
/etc/skel/.xinitrc that runs files in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d to your
~/.xinitrc, and avoid using
dbus-launch or
Some polkit actions require further authentication, even with a local session. A polkit authentication agent needs to be running for this to work. There are two alternatives in the repositories:
- polkit-gnome, which provides
- polkit-kde, which provides
Single user mode
If you cannot boot due to errors caused by a daemon, display manager or Xorg, you may be able use the single user runlevel:
- Boot to single-user mode by appending
sto the kernel line in GRUB.
- Then disable the systemd service that is causing the problem.
- Change to the multi-user mode systemd target.
- Then try to track down the issue by running the service manually.
file: could not find any magic files!
Example: After an every-day routine update or following the installation of a package you are given the following error:
# file: could not find any magic files!
This will most likely leave your system crippled. And, any attempts made to recompile/reinstall the package(s) responsible for the breakage will fail. Also, any attempts made to try to rebuild the initramfs will result in the following:
# mkinitcpio -p linux ==> Building image from preset: 'default' -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img file: could not find any magic files! ==> ERROR: invalid kernel specifier: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux' ==> Building image from preset: 'fallback' -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img -S autodetect file: could not find any magic files! @==> ERROR: invalid kernel specifier: `/boot/vmlinuz-linux'
Typically a previously installed application had placed a configuration file within
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ or it had made changes to
/etc/ld.so.conf which are now invalid.
- Boot into the Arch Linux Live CD / Installation Media.
- Mount your root (
/) partition to
/mntand using arch-chroot, chroot into your system.
/boot partition up to the user.
- Examine
/etc/ld.so.confand remove any invalid lines found.
- Examine the files located inside the directory
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/and remove all invalid files.
- Rebuild the initramfs.
# mkinitcpio -p linux
- Reboot back to your installed system.
- Once booted, reinstall the package that was responsible for leaving your system inoperable using:
# pacman -S <package>

CARY – Places with alcohol licenses in town can now have video gambling terminals.
The Village Board on Tuesday voted 5-1 to permit the machines. The action is a reversal from a stance taken by the village in 2010 to ban video gambling.
Video gambling has been live in the state for a little more than a year, and it serves as one of the revenue sources of the state's 2009 Illinois Jobs Now! capital plan.
The change in stance comes with a vastly different makeup on the Village Board. Only Trustee Rick Dudek, who voted no Tuesday, and now Village President Mark Kownick were trustees in 2010.
Dudek said he would rather have voters decide by referendum. Kownick said he changed his mind and now supports video gambling.
Trustees Bruce Kaplan, Karen Lukasik, David Chapman, Robert Bragg and Jeffery Kraus voted in favor of video gambling.
"This ordinance is overdue," Chapman said. "I look forward to … helping our businesses out."
Revenue, or the gambling losses collected by the machines, are split among the establishment, terminal operators, the company running the state's communication system, the state and the municipality.
Video gaming terminals can be located in bars and restaurants with liquor licenses, fraternal and veterans organizations and truck stops. An establishment can have up to five terminals.
Ten locations in town serve alcohol and can have the machines.
Under the ordinance, the village will collect a $25 annual fee per terminal. Businesses will be allowed to have temporary exterior signs for up to 30 days to promote they have video gambling. Businesses are permitted to have illuminated signs inside their windows.
The Village Board began considering allowing video gaming after owners of local bars and restaurants told officials they were losing customers to neighboring towns that permit video gaming terminals.
Towns such as Port Barrington, Fox River Grove, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills and McHenry allow video gambling.
Louise Lyon, owner of the Maple Tree, was among the handful of bar owners at the meeting in support of video gambling. They brought petitions with more than 400 signatures, of which more than 300 signatures are from Cary residents, supporting video gambling.
"All we want is an even playing field so we can make a living," Lyon said. "Including myself, those who like to gamble. I go to Fox River Grove. I rather keep my money in Cary."
Brett Coleman, owner of Coleman's in the Park, said the establishments could use money from video gambling to invest back into their businesses with parking lot improvements or roof replacements, among other things, which leads to more people working.
"Part of this money comes back to Cary," Coleman said. "All of those people that are hired are also part of our community. I think this thing is a chain of help and a community spirit that will help us."
A handful of residents sent emails to the village about the issue. Christine Baughman supported allowing video gambling.
"As it is, we are losing all of our business to the towns around us," Baughman wrote. "We need more revenue for the village. As it is, our taxes [are] way too high."
Winona Westbrook wrote to oppose video gambling because of the potential of more demand on the police department.
"Gambling is gambling and always increases the risk of crime to an area," Westbrook wrote.

Without busying ourselves, then, in curious, needless inquiries, touching those extraordinary gifts of the Spirit, let us take a nearer view of these his ordinary fruits, which we are assured will remain throughout all ages; –of that great work of God among the children of men, which we are used to express by one word, "Christianity;" not as it implies a set of opinions, a system of doctrines, but as it refers to men's hearts and lives.
— John Wesley, "Scriptural Christianity"
Can we define terms?
What do we mean by the word "Christianity"?
For John Wesley, the term did not refer to a set of doctrines or opinions. It did not refer to a system of church government. It did not refer to a set of outward actions and behaviors. It certainly did not refer to voting for a particular party. It did not refer to a particular kind of worship.
For him Christianity was defined by what happened to people's hearts and lives. A changed heart and new life were the necessary and sufficient markers of Christianity. Everything else was support for this essential thing.
If our eyes are not opened to God, if we are not aware of our sin, if we do not see with faith, if we do not know pardon and assurance, if we do not grow in grace, if our lives do not bear the marks of these changes, then our church membership and regular attendance and knowledge of theology do not make us Christians.
This is my understanding of John Wesley's definition of the terms "Christian" and "Christianity."
If we asked the Council of Bishops or the General Conference or our Boards of Ordained Ministry would they share this definition? Would they have a different one? Shouldn't they — shouldn't we — share the definition if we are all claiming to be working together to advance and promote this thing we call Christianity?

February 10, 2011
Wabash will have nine entries in the finals of the first day of competition at the 2011 North Coast Athletic Conference Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The Little Giants were led by senior Evan Rhinesmith, who nearly broke the school record with his time in the 200-yard individual medley preliminaries.
Rhinesmith (right) finished with the 10th-fastest time in the morning session of the 200 IM, finishing in 1:56.71 to earn a spot in the finals. His time was less than a second off the 12-year-old school record of 1:55.77 set by RJ Morgan at the 1999 Liberal Arts Invitational. Rhinesmith was part of the Little Giants' 200-yard freestyle relay team that finished third in the morning prelims with a time of 1:27.32 to advance to the finals. He was joined by David Birrer, Adam Current, and Logan Rice.
Freshman David Phillips finished 12th in the prelims of the 500-yard free with a time of 4:51.49 to advance to the finals. Freshman Adam Barnes was 19th in the 500 prelims, joining Phillips in finals after posting a time of 4:57.79.
A quartet of Little Giant swimmers will compete in the finals of the 50 free Thursday night. Charles Williams finished 14th with a time of 21.88, while Birrer was 20th after finishing in 22.35. Alex Beck posted the 22nd-fastest time of 22.48, while Jake Pahud earned the final spot in the evening session with a time of 22.70.
The Wabash 400-yard medley relay team of Phillips, Paul Buescher, Current, and Chad Woods combined for a time of 3:37.23 to finish fifth in the prelims.
The three-day championship meet is being hosted by Denison University at the CT Branin Natatorium in Canton, Ohio.

The story of Pan American Airways Captain Robert Ford's record-breaking flight around the world following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 told, for the first time, in a full-length dramatized narrative that provides details never mentioned in previous accounts of the flight.
The following link will take you to a book review that appeared on the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) website:
Ed Dover's background more than qualifies him to spin this tale of aeronautical adventure. As a Flight Radio Officer for Pan American Airways between 1942 and 1948 he flew on board Pan American's Martin M130 and Boeing B314 flying boats. He also worked as a ground radio operator at Pan Am's bases at Pearl City, Oahu and Noumea, New Caledonia during 1942 and 1943. He flew the South Pacific routes from Hawaii to Canton Island, Suva, Fiji, Noumea and Brisbane, Australia.
In 1992 and 1993 Ed visited with Captain Ford and obtained two hours of taped interviews. He also met with and interviewed Flight Radio Officer Eugene Leach. Those interviews, along with Ed's personal experiences aboard the Clippers, provide the foundation for this detailed account of a significant event in aviation history. Ed's intimate first-hand knowledge of what it was like to fly on these majestic flying boats adds a degree of authenticity that brings a "you are there" experience to the narrative.
This version of one of the most famous flights in aviation history is a must-have acquisition for the aeronautical library of any serious aviation history buff and particularly for those who have had a past connection to the original but not forgotten Pan American Airways.

text: Leading source of traffic when posting iphone repair classified ads & classifieds with aussie advertising Do you know where the most users come from? How much traffic (share) does the most important channel provide you with? The more dependent your website is from a specific traffic source the more risky it's for your business – in particular the e-commerce one. It's no mystery that the market leaders are usually sites with the biggest audience. In classifieds "the biggest" usually means "generating most of the content & revenues". Now imagine what would happen if you suddenly lose this traffic – a big drop in visits, placed ads and revenues. To avoid such a disaster keep a healthy ratio of several traffic sources so that none of them will kill your business. One-time vs returning visitors when posting iphone repair classified ads & classifieds Loyalty of people is extremely important in the era of communities. During the hard times they sell houses and cars of look for a job more frequently not to mention all other goods that are sold on even more regular basis. If you have a relatively small community of loyal users or it is going down every month, you probably face the problem of lack of content and its quality. Unless you are unquestionable leader in your area or niche a small group of newcomers may mean you are not reaching new target groups and your business isn't growing. Average number of page views per ad details page It's probably one of the most uncomfortable questions, but from the seller's point of view it's obviously one of the most important to ask – it's about a real value of the classified site. There are few others worth considering: How many pages impressions were done on my item I want to sell? How many people were interested in my offer? Finally, do I pay the right price for an exposure at this portal? Is it worth buying a premium listing there? The conclusion is obvious – the more page impressions the better while it increases the chances of a completing a transaction for both sides. Traffic sources for ad details pages If you want to make deeper analysis on quality and quantity of traffic coming to ad details pages I suggest to investigate which channels generate the most impressions of ad details. While search engines should play a major role in direct access to ads due to the characteristics of the "Long Tail", indirect access (e.g. through category listings) may be driven by lots of other channels. Having no direct visits on ad details pages raises the question of SEO friendliness level and if you have a relatively small number of other ad impressions it may rise the question of website usability or relevant content presentation. Tips for writing your ad when posting free iphone repair classified ads & classifieds : Use Keywords in your ad. When writing your classified line ad, start with the item or service you provide first. This will be a keyword. People who are looking for a particular item will find it more easily if the keyword is set in a bolder type face. Be descriptive. Provide information, Avoid abbreviations… don't try to save on words. Be descriptive. If someone is interested in purchasing your item or service they want all the information they can get. Be creative. Interesting ads work better than lists. Make your ad interesting to read. Sell what your item or service does, not what it is. Describe the benefits that your customer will receive from your item or service. Be creative and make your ad fun to read. Product, presentation, market & timing: Consider the market for your item or service. Are you more likely to find a buyer in a metropolitan or a rural setting? Is the price of your item or service commensurate with the economic demographics of the area? What about the time of year? It may be difficult to sell your bicycle in January or your snow blower in July. Think locally but reach as far as you can: People like to shop locally. Write your ad as if you were speaking to your next door neighbor. Use our zones to target the geography you want to cover, and make that area as large as you possibly can. If you are in the service industry always give yourself the right of refusal.

Monday Morning Mirth
clockwise from top left: Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadow (Cult – muted purple); NARS lip gloss (Belize – pink mauve);
Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadow (Heist – mauve taupe); Benefit Powder Blush (Coralista)
What you see above could be the seminal definition of a time-worn but well-loved phrase.
When I get home at the end of my weary day, I have a place where I put all the essentials: keys, phone, wallet, etc. which land on top of a little cabinet. If I do not do this, if I deviate even with one item, the Universe falls off its axis. Always.
To appease the Universe, I've got three ceramic vintage flower pots on the floor around the cabinet. Into them go pennies, dimes & nickels, then in the last, quarters.
The other day I took the contents of the full jars to the bank and got Cash Money. Now the good thing about this Universe is that it doesn't mind sharing the bounty!
I wonder how it feels about the fact that it wasn't even an hour after that cash landed in my pocket that it had blasted a hole and grabbed everything it could see at the local Sephora next to where I work.
AiEee! An all time record for being penny-wise and pound foolish, (even for me)!
But check out that haul!!!

Supporting Cast
You're not in this alone. Surround yourself with a caring birth team.
By Barabra A. Hotteling, MSN, WHNP, LCCE, CD(DONA)
Giving birth will be one of the most memorable events of your life. It may be hard to imagine how you will respond to the powerful physical and emotional aspects of labor. But no matter how you feel, it is bound to be easier if you are surrounded by a team of people you trust before, during and after the birth.
A Doula's Role
The word doula means "woman care-giver" in Greek; its origin refers to the female who attended to the lady of the house during childbirth. Historically, doulas were aunts, sisters, cousins or friends who helped cook and clean, as well as offered support. Today's doulas perform similar services. There are thousands of professionally trained doulas in North America and around the world, available to any woman who wants continuous non-medical support at childbirth. Studies show that the presence of a doula at a birth results in shorter labors with fewer complications and fewer interventions, such as Pitocin, forceps or cesarean. Research shows that women supported by doulas request pain medication less frequently; they also report greater satisfaction with the birth and their partner's participation.
Doulas provide a variety of services, depending on your personal preferences. Even though you probably won't need to meet with your doula until your third trimester, it's best to start interviewing prospective ones early, to make sure your first choice can accommodate you. Once labor begins, doulas can help in many ways, including reminding you to listen to your inner wisdom. Having someone by your side to answer questions and let you know that you are doing well can empower you to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A doula can help you advocate for your preferences to other members of your support team, allowing you to relax and focus so childbirth is ultimately more satisfying.
A Partner's Compassion
While a doula can provide incredible support, your partner is still your most vital source of emotional comfort. He or she knows the subtle signals that express your needs, as well as your preferences for touch, music, scents and tastes. Most important, your partner is likely to be the lighthouse you focus on during contractions. He or she may choose to participate in your birth in a variety of ways, but that love and presence cannot be replaced by anyone else. Talk to your partner now about his or her role, what you think you'll need during this time and who can best help you get it.
The Rest of the Team
If you are giving birth at home or in a birth center, your midwife will pay attention to the physical condition of you and your baby and guide you through labor and birth. In a hospital, doctors and nurses will evaluate your progress and attend to your physical needs, but because they have other patients, they usually are unable to provide the continuous support that leads to the best birth experience. Consider inviting family or friends who can stay with you throughout labor and birth. Show them your birth plan and encourage them to go to childbirth classes with you or take a tour of the birth center or hospital if you are not giving birth at home. Often, women do not want anyone other than their partner present at birth; others feel more comfortable with greater support. As you learn more, choose the birth team that helps you feel most empowered and confident on the big day.

Quilt Xcel® fungicide provides preventive and curative disease control, plant stress management and yield-boosting benefits that bring a positive return on investment on corn, soybean and cereal crops, even at current commodity prices. Quilt Xcel elevates crops to their full yield potential by shielding plants from stress while providing broad-spectrum disease control.
We have sprayed a lot of Quilt Xcel at V5 and then again at tassel. At V5 we can tank-mix Quilt Xcel with Touchdown or Halex GT. It's been economical and the flexibility is what I like about it. I also like to get it out before the diseases hit. To me, it is better to be preventive than curative.
Steve Foss, Retailer, Southern FS, Grantsburg, IL
One of the main reasons I used Quilt Xcel on my corn is that it has two modes of action against disease. I have seen it take gray leaf spot and just put a stop to it. Another benefit has been improved stalk quality and standability. If you are harvesting a field where 30 percent of the corn is down, compared to a field with standing corn, it makes a big difference. It is less stressful. With Quilt Xcel you can harvest more acres in a day than you could if your corn was down and your combine was running at half the normal speed and you are saving more corn too.
Dennis Wischmeier, Grower, Brownstown, IN
We used Quilt Xcel to improve the health of our plants. Our checks have shown much stronger root systems, healthier plants and less leaf spots with the Quilt Xcel. The 2013 season began with good conditions then in July we had 21 straight days of rain and Quilt Xcel suppressed whatever diseases would have come from the wet conditions. We also usually tank-mix Quilt Xcel with Halex GT. We like being able to get it all on at the same time and this combination has worked well for us.
Brad Benedict, Grower, Marion, OH
2013 started out as a tough year, wet and late. It was the first year we made early (V4-V8) applications of Quilt Xcel and the plants stayed healthy all season long. The area where we applied early is next to town and we can't spray aerially, so it's nice to have the option to apply at the early timing and just use a ground rig.
Bill Bruere, Syngenta Seed Advisor, Prole, IA
Plant Performance assumes the presence of disease pressure.

Five gold medals are up for grabs on the first official day of Olympic competition. The action kicks off Saturday morning in the mountains above Sochi where men's slopestyle snowboarders will battle for a spot in the finals and later a place on the podium.
Other medals will be awarded in speedskating, biathlon, cross-country and freestyle skiing.
Meanwhile, American figure skater Ashley Wagner will take the ice for her first performance of the Games and her first competitive appearance since her falls at the U.S. Championships last month. She and ice dancing partners Meryl Davis and Charlie White will represent the U.S. in the latest phase of the new team figure skating event.
Below, find a full break-down of what to watch, where:
12:30 a.m. ET: Watch the first event of the day--men's slopstyle snowboarding semi-finals--at NBCOlympics.com. Twenty athletes go head-to-head for four open slots at the finals. With three athletes now out of the event--Austrian Adrian Krainer and Norweigan Torstein Horgm for injuries; Shaun White to focus on halfpipe--American Charles Guldemond could find his way into the final round.
Top scorers at semi-finals head to the medal round (3:45 a.m. ET here) where they'll face stiff competition from Canadian snowboard stars Max Parrot and Mark McMorris.
1 a.m.: In case you missed it, NBC will re-air the complete broadcast of the Sochi Opening Ceremony.
3 a.m. ET: The U.S. women's hockey team takes on Finland in a preliminary-round opener. The U.S. is going for its first gold since the 1998 Nagano Games. Watch live online or on NBC Sports.
5:00 a.m. ET: Women's cross country skiers compete in the skiathlon medal event, while Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer will go for his third medal in the 5000m at 6:30 a.m. Catch both on NBC Sports, or follow the complete events on NBCOlympics.com.
9 a.m. ET: American Hannah Kearney goes for her second Olympic gold in women's moguls. She dominated Thursday's qualifier event posting the highest score of the day--23.05 out of a possible 30 points. The next phase of the competition--a four-part knockout-style round--begins at 9 a.m. ET. The final round starts at 1 p.m. ET. Watch here.
9:30 a.m. ET: The new figure skating team event continues Saturday morning with ice dancing. American partners and reigning Olympic silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White will give their first performance of the Games. Watch live here, on NBC Sports or catch highlights on NBC prime time.
11 a.m. ET: First time Olympian Ashley Wagner will compete in the women's singles portion of the figure skating team event. Her last competitive performance was marred by two falls that raised questions about her addition to the Olympic team. Her stumbles at the U.S. Championships last month inspired her to overhaul her Sochi routine with just weeks to get it right. Watch her live here, on NBC Sports or catch highlights on NBC prime time.
2:30 p.m.-6 p.m. ET: NBC Sports will cover a ski jumping qualification round in the men's normal hill competition, men's biathlon 10km sprint and women's cross country skiathlon.

Coburn chokes up on Senate floor talking about ill aide
Choking up on the Senate floor, Sen. Tom Coburn said Friday his longtime chief of staff, Michael Schwartz, would be stepping down as he continues his battle with Lou Gehrig's disease.
Coburn, a conservative Republican from Oklahoma, said Schwartz would still be doing projects for his office but that his health issues meant that he could no longer continue in his role. Schwartz, the former executive of the House Family Caucus and a lobbyist with Concerned Women for America, has been Coburn's chief of staff for the nearly 15 years he's served in the House and Senate.
"He's still the guy that cares more about other people than himself," Coburn said. "The kindness he has shown to everyone he's encountered, whether to a homeless person on the street or a leading senator in the halls, he has reminded our team and me that we are all equal, regardless of position, in the eyes of God."
Coburn concluded his tribute by saying it been a privilege to be "modeled and mentored" by Schwartz over these many years.
"Mike, we love you. God bless."

Well, I never thought I'd be quoting Pete Campbell on anything, let alone in a panel on science communications.
I am, of course, referring to one Peter Campbell, the whiny rat of a character on the television show Mad Men on AMC, played by actor Vincent Kartheiser. Pete is the smarmy, hotshot account executive of the show's fictional advertising agency, and to be fair, the character is growing (painfully).
In the episode "At the Codfish Ball" the other week, Pete found himself having to explain his job to a doubting academic. The exchange*, at a black tie dinner, went like this:
Pete: "… so I manage those accounts."
Dr. Calvet: "But I don't understand. What do you do everyday."
Pete: "Well what do you do? You're a scholar and an intellectual, right?"
