Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Here is the latest installment of the Comic Critics strip, courtesy of Sean Whitmore (writer) and Brandon Hanvey (artist)! You can check out the first hundred and thirty-eight strips at the archive here and you can read more about Sean and Brandon at the Comic Critics blog.
Let us know what you think, either here or at the ComicCritics blog!
Brandon's Robert Downey caricature is highly improved. Good job.
That's how you take out GMozz! Shoe to the face!
Great punchline. Marston would be proud.
Punchline telegraphed from 4rth last panel, but that's not a complaint.
I think what I like about these strips is that they're like Letterman's Top Ten list: best big gag comes at in at #2, and the seeming "punchline"/#1 is like a barely-necessary afterthought.
I'd like to see a phantom edit of a bunch of these down to a newspaper-standard 4 panels. I like the longer format for web, but it'd be an interesting exercise.
Regardless. Count me as a fan.
Hell. Yes. I've enjoyed Comic Critics A LOT in the past, but this is the first time I've cracked up from the first two panels alone.

I laughed, and I hope we can expect a continuation/conclusion.
So, what's his "little enterprise" ?
After having seen Iron Man 2 – if Downey Jr thought that script was ready to go, he's so dumb I could kick his ass!
What did Megan Fox say about Wonder Woman?
You mean 'Climax', don't you, Crash-Man?
>>What did Megan Fox say about Wonder Woman?
"Wonder Woman is a lame superhero… She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don't get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don't want to do it."
"Wonder Woman is a lame superhero… She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don't get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don't want to do it."
I saw 5mins of a film she was in, and the trailer for that Jonah Hex abortion – Megan Fox saying she won't take a role sure is fighting words.
(I was going for a funny analogy, but the idea of her slagging off a role was just to ridiculous that any analogy just seemed anti-climatic)
I love that Robert Downey Jr. is watching himself at the beginning. Of course he watches himself.

How do I ensure the title and excerpt of a shared Facebook post is consistent with the title and excerpt in the SEO?
I sometimes want the title/text of a shared Facebook post to be different than than the title/text of the actual post. However, AddToAny does not seem to recognize the revised title/text in the SEO. The text/title of the shared post are identical to the post itself, not the revised title text in SEO.
An example is posted at http://www.nerdc.net/addtoany-facebook-share-does-not-match-seo-text. I'm using Google Chrome on a Windows 7 platform.
Many thanks for your help.

Basically, the Pentagon and the CIA are working in tandem to force targeted nations like India and Pakistan to accept the decision which has been made to "outsource" the terror war to them and other patsy nations like them. Agency contract hits like the Mumbai attack and bombings in FATA are blamed on "al Qaida" by the government-controlled media in the West and in the media controlled by the "patsy" foreign governments. Biased, hate-based reporting serves to drive patriotic fervor to a frenzied state. The duplicitous leaders in those countries then carry-out America's will, to set them upon a path to war, in effect, driving their own people into a "kill trap" where unwanted war is forced upon them. This pattern prevails all over the earth, wherever the US has imperial designs. We are all being herded into a global war trap, some call it world war III.
American mini-dictator generals and crime bosses knew that their global war plans would require massive numbers of committed killers, a goal that a volunteer force could not fulfill. A conscripted army of unwilling, underpaid, over-committed soldiers, who might follow orders to commit genocide, would be unsatisfactory for the task, especially when the focus of the killing turns to their own homelands. No, the committed killers who have volunteered to be underpaid and overworked in order to gain the right to kill were too few in number, so they had to be supplemented. This is the reason that the US has created massive armies and navies of high-paying "civilian" contract killers (mercenaries).
But even the combination of federal troops and private armies is not great enough to fulfill the mission of global conquest. This is where the plan incorporates co-opted foreign armies, like those of India and Pakistan. Where NATO has failed to serve as a second American force, to command at will, these co-opted foreign armies under indirect US control are meant to fill the gap.
The CIA is using all the tricks of its dark and bloody trade to harness these foreign forces.
It continues to carry-out the trademark of its craft, the creation and arming of local warlords, criminal gangs and militias, to commit the acts of terrorism that will justify the government crackdown and drive the local population to support it. In the conflict building between India and Pakistan, American patsies on both sides are driving the two nations to serve America's violent interests in the region, that of containing both China and India, eliminating the "Islamic bombs" held by Pakistan, seizing pipeline routes and setting the stage for the next phase of the war plan, countering Russia and Iran.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
American foreign aid and military assistance are twin traps for erasing national sovereignty and entrenching US interests within the aid-receiving governments. Targeted governments, like India and Pakistan are made so dependent upon the inflow of US dollars that they see the cut-off of that aid as an existential threat to their existence, equal to or surpassing the threat of war. What these leaders (who have all grown wealthy from skimming these dollars) either fail to realize or to consider at the cost of losing that wealth, is that the aid itself represents the greatest threat that their nations have ever faced. Their leaders, just like our leaders, whom they emulate, represent only themselves, as they continue to hoard the lifeblood of our nations.
American leaders and all the foreign leaders who work with them represent the greatest evil that this world has ever known. They are carrying-out and cooperating with the bloodiest, most devious plan ever devised by human minds, to grab all the wealth from all nations, regardless of the cost in human and animal life. Hitler and Stalin were mere "pikers," compared to our neocon/Zionist overlords. No previous tyrant or would-be dictator ever came as close to snuffing-out human freedom and individualism as these "Neo-American" dreamers have positioned themselves to do.
Collective human nature has never been so ready to surrender all rights for the privilege of working, eating or obtaining health care as it now stands prepared to do. Desperation remains the key to the warlords' success. The more desperation spreads, and the more desperate that people become to obtain the most basic of human needs, the more easily they will volunteer to become killers and to forsake all those insignificant things like human rights and morality that all of us resisters consider sacred.
What's at stake, besides the massive loss of life, is the massive reversal of all the gains and inroads made by human rights advocates throughout history and the complete elimination of the concepts of freedom and inalienable rights professed by America's founding fathers, for the sake of preserving the profit margins of today's robber barons.

Why would you sell now on the low end... check the stocks history and tell me why you would sell now after the stock dropped 16 to 17% off previous highs. Fundamentals are still sound...therefore turn to technical indicators. The low in May was 46.35. Selling now would be foolish.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I sold 1/2 at the EoD. Because this stock has been above the 200 dma for over 2 years, till today. There was no resistance from 200 dma. Will try to buy back lower. The stock is not that cheap here. PE and PS are above the industry.
Sentiment: Hold
the stock just made another new low.. see you at forty then i am in
I'm open at this point to it going either way. I see it in a triangle with resistance on the 13 day MA and support on the 200 day MA. I wouldn't jump in with both feet on either side.
Sentiment: Hold
Exactly. Pullbacks are the time tested time to buy. Some other poster here suggests "rolling over", is clueless. He can not distinguish the difference between momentum stocks and consumer staples stocks. DLTR has a PEG of slightly more than 1 and a forward P/E of 16. It has run very far over the past few years and is taking a breather; providing a seldom seen opportunity in this stock, to buy shares. I've made a ton of $$ (enough to buy a couple of apartment houses) on DLTR over the past 4 yrs. Sold some low 50's and ading more here. Also selling SEPT--45, 47 1/2 and 50 puts, This is an easy one.
Sentiment: Buy
Looks like another slammer month for the sept puts. I'll buy to close the 50 puts at a fat profit while the 45's and 47 1/2's expire worthless for 100% of the premium to keep in my pocket. Short 50 OCT--42 1/2 puts @$0.25 and 30 Sept--45 puts @ $0.65
BTW, at DLTR it is 2 greeeting cards for a $1.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Banks buying out bonds to help troubled Euro zone areas --- We all win. But seriously though apache... Of course it is possible for any stock to continue to fall or climb, but another 17%? You must have this one confused with CAT or other higher volatile stocks.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Today is bad day DLTR. Me is glad I solds a DLTR share and buy a DG share at least. Maybes Dollar General taking business froms Dollar Tree. Me goes to Dollar General and gets 2 greeting cards for dollar when me get only 1 from Dollar Tree. Dollar General also has great cheaps on stuff me can't get at Dollar Tree. Me thoughts DLTR the best because stock go up the fastest, but now it go down the fastest. Maybes me should sell me other 2 DLTR shares and buys 2 more DG?
Why you says to waits to sell if goes under 46.35. Me lose another dollars if me waits. Anyways, me confused why me lose moneys? Me can only hopes it start going back up. Me wonders what Kotto would do...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Dude, you win the award for the most glib poster.
Stock is consolidating and will them move higher. They upped 2013 views. Guiding lower for Q3 is so the stock does not get clobbered on a penny miss, which is ridiculous. They always guide low. I shop at DLTR a few times a week. It is always crowded and they keep opening new stores. This is a great store and a great company. It is a 2 to 3 year hold from here.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
you need to be patience and if the stock breaks 47 then 40 is the next support. just because the stock is down 17 percent does not mean it can not go down another 17 percent.
And death rays from Mars coming down and killing me today are possible too. DLTR dropping another 17% is just not going to happen. We've seen the bottom.

I was really pleased with this hotel. The pics look as though the rooms have outdated bedding/TV, but they must have redone the rooms as the bedding, furniture, TV and carpet are all modern and appear to be newer. The room was spacious and very clean.

I just found and replaced my old testimonials plug-in with this because it looked amazing! And so far I think it is!
However I am having a small problem. The widget will only show one testimonial and then stop - it goes blank and then after a few seconds will show the link to the testimonial page. But I can't get it to randomly display testimonials - I do have the widget set to cycle.
I use the Thesis 1.8.5 theme if that matters at all. And my website is http://AlignToDivineHealth.com.
If someone can assist me I'd truly appreciate it - thank you!

Unfortunately, Valgrind does not support OS X 10.8 yet. After some Googling, I came across some forum posts where people were able to get it to compile and "almost" link. Does anyone know of any good alternatives to Valgrind for memory leak detection?
Assuming you can be bothered, if you install MacPorts you will be able to install a functioning Valgrind (3.8.1 as for today) on your system. Unfortunately MacPorts will require you to install the whole XCode, not just the CL tools, so YMMV.
While valgrind can be installed, the current state isn't very usable. In a simple program I got the following result;
The same code will be fine with using valgrind on a linux.(compiled on their respective systems)
The Instruments app (part of Xcode) is a very good way to look for leaks and run stress tests on the memory allocation of a running program.

One of the key projects in the Rhododendron Dell in spring
last year was the renovation of the Peony Border at the south
end of the Cherry Walk. Straggly old witch hazels were
removed, the border widened, a new selection of herbaceous
perennials planted and some of the peonies rearranged.
Among the peonies was a small, self-sown specimen of
Paeonia delavayi that had appeared at the back of the
border under the shade of Magnolia doltsopa. At that
stage, it was little more than a cluster of stems about 50cm
tall, with a few leaves attached. Now, after being shifted to
the front of the border, where it has more light, better soil
and improved drainage, it has at least doubled in size.
Peonies thrive in any moist, fertile soil, whether acid or
alkaline, but good drainage is important, particularly for
the shrubby types such as P. delavayi. The dramatic
increase in size shows just how well struggling peonies can
respond to improved soil conditions. Now that it is growing
happily, it will mature into a wide spreading shrub up to
about 1.6m tall, but if necessary, can be pruned hard to
control any intrusion on neighbouring plants.
Not only has the Peony Border specimen increased in size, but
it has also begun flowering quite freely.
Compared to other shrubby peonies, P. delavayi has
relatively small flowers, but they are a deep red and, along
with the smoky-coloured new foliage, look like hot coals. For
me, this makes this peony the one to plant.

May 24 news: Siemens says efficiency policies are "thousand-dollar bills lying on the ground"
First green development bank to open in U.K.
Siemens executive says bipartisan clean energy push could start with efficiency bill
With Congress bogged down over high gasoline prices, the head of U.S. operations for Siemens AG said proposals to increase energy efficiency are a "no-brainer" and a doable next step to advance U.S. energy policy.
"It's thousand-dollar bills lying on the ground. People just need to bend over and pick them up," said Eric Spiegel, president and CEO of Siemens Corp., the U.S. arm of the Munich-based conglomerate.
Short of a national clean energy standard that incentivizes wind, solar, gas and nuclear power, Spiegel said measures encouraging efficiency upgrades across the economy could have the greatest immediate boost for job creation while slashing energy use and carbon pollution.
As a starting point, Spiegel pointed to a bill introduced two weeks ago by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) that would create loan programs and expand existing ones for energy efficiency. It would strengthen building codes aimed at homes and businesses, set energy standards for various products and encourage upgrades in the power and industrial sectors.
"We need to start with something that's hard to disagree with," he said. "It makes economic sense, and it makes sense for reducing energy [use] and reducing greenhouse gases. Most of it is a no-brainer."
First-ever national green development bank to open next year in U.K.
The United Kingdom's Green Investment Bank will begin distributing loans for clean energy-efficient projects as early as next April, said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
Clegg, the leader of the left-leaning Liberal Democrats, said the Green Investment Bank would be the first development bank in the world dedicated to financing green projects. The bank could leverage up to £15 billion ($24 billion) of private-sector investment over the next four years.
"The Green Investment Bank will go from an idea to a flow of investment in under two years, and quickly grow into an independent investing, and then borrowing, institution," he said, "a real legacy of the coalition government's green commitment."
The government will kick-start the fund with a £3 billion ($4.8 billion) investment, said Clegg. The bank will not be able to borrow money until April 2015, contingent on whether the economy has met its target for reducing debt as a percentage of gross domestic product by that time. This block on borrowing has angered environmental groups, which say the bank should be allowed to accept funds from private investors as soon as it opens.
"A strong, independent bank is crucial if the U.K. is able to compete seriously in the rapidly growing £3.2 trillion global market for low-carbon goods and services," said Greenpeace Executive Director John Sauven. "But it will be hamstrung from the outset by keeping the restriction on borrowing powers until at least 2015. Britain's ability to attract new industries and create new jobs could still be derailed by Treasury accounting rules."
Southern Company Rated Worst of Seven Major U.S. Utilities
Southern Gets Straight "F"s in Grading of "The Dirty Seven" Utilities, Also Home to Three of 10 Worst-Polluting Power Plants in U.S.
On the eve of Southern Company (NYSE: SO) holding its annual meeting of stockholders in Pine Mountain, GA., the nonprofit Green America released a report today ranking the major U.S. power producer as "the United States' most irresponsible utility."
Titled "Leadership We Can Live Without: The Real Corporate Social Responsibility Report for Southern Company," the Green America analysis assigns letter grades to seven major U.S. utilities on four fronts: reliance on coal; pollution; reliance on and expansion of nuclear power; and lobbying expenditures. Southern came in dead last with straight "F" grades in all four of the categories.
The rest of "The Dirty Seven" were ranked as follows: (1) Exelon; (2) Entergy; (3) Dominion; (4) TVA; (5) Duke and (6) AEP (Southern Company is 7th). Green America's full report is available online at http://www.greenamerica.org/go/southerncompanyreport/.
Green America Corporate Responsibility Director Todd Larsen said: "Southern Company is one of the nation's largest utilities, with 4.4 million customers in the American Southeast. Southern Company prides itself on its relatively low rates and its consistent payment of dividends to shareholders. But while ratepayers and shareholders may appreciate these limited economic benefits, they come at a high price: the extraordinary pollution produced by Southern Company, which harms the communities it operates in, as well as fueling global warming, and the risks posed by the company's increasing use of nuclear power and growing coal ash ponds. The real price of Southern Company's strategy include: asthma, heart disease, lung disease, air and water pollution, global warming, and the potential for catastrophic accidents."
U.K. panel approves shale gas drilling
A key U.K. parliamentary committee has concluded that drilling for shale gas in the country should be allowed to go ahead because of the potential benefits it could bring to energy supplies and reducing carbon emissions. It noted that, in contrast to the United States, shale drilling in the United Kingdom would not be a game changer.
The all-party Energy and Climate Change Committee, which monitors the activities of the Department of Energy and Climate Change as well as holding its own inquiries, said there was no evidence that the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing to release the gas posed a danger to underground aquifers as long as the well casing itself was intact.
That risk, it said in a report yesterday, came instead in cases when the well was damaged.
"There has been a lot of hot air recently about the dangers of shale gas drilling. But our inquiry found no evidence to support the main concern — that U.K. water supplies would be put at risk," said committee Chairman Tim Yeo.
"There appears to be nothing inherently dangerous about the process of 'fracking' itself, and as long as the integrity of the well is maintained, shale gas extraction should be safe," he added.
There have been reports of damage to local water supplies in parts of the United States. The recent documentary "Gasland" appeared to show people in shale gas extraction areas being able to ignite their tap water. In France, there have been calls for a complete ban on the use of hydraulic fracturing to extract shale gas.
Fight over natural gas vehicles bill intensifies
The political battle over legislation that would offer tax incentives to promote natural gas vehicles is heating up, as supporters launch an ad campaign and conservative critics of the bill in a public letter yesterday chided co-sponsors for backing the "misguided" plan.
The new jockeying over the "NAT GAS Act" suggests that its 186 House supporters in both parties could struggle to win a vote on the bill during the pre-August window that sponsors once eyed. What's more, the emergence among the bill's foes of the American Energy Alliance — a pro-drilling nonprofit with ties to the oil industry — signals the potential for stronger pushback in the future from oil companies.
AEA President Thomas Pyle, previously a lobbyist for Koch Industries and aide to ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas), joined 16 other groups yesterday on a letter to lawmakers that blasted the natural gas bill as a wasteful subsidy.
The letter's signatories, including the Club for Growth, the Heritage Foundation's separate political arm, and the tea party group Americans for Prosperity, warned that backing the bill would amount to shrugging off voter opposition to subsidies that became clear in the midterm elections.
"Co-sponsoring this misguided legislation is a sign that you have not heard the message [of 2010] and are not serious about eliminating expensive, counter-productive energy subsidies," the groups wrote.
Yet proponents of the "NAT GAS Act," which would offer tax benefits to buyers and producers of the alternative cars and their infrastructure, contend that limiting vehicle fleets' fuel mix is a subsidy unto itself — effectively routing taxpayer money to the oil industry and overseas.
White House rolls out plans to boost alternative vehicles
Today a slew of top White House energy and environmental officials will roll out new presidential directives that, among other things, will put the federal government on track to purchase 100 percent alternative fuel passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks by 2015.
The effort is not only being touted as a smart way to save on fuel costs but also a key component of a larger goal announced by President Obama to reduce federal agency petroleum fuel use by 30 percent by 2020.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, General Services Administrator Martha Johnson and White House Council on Environmental Quality Chairwoman Nancy Sutley will be on hand at the Department of Energy for today's announcement. Also expected at the announcement is Brian Wynne, president of the Electric Drive Transport Association.
Additionally, GSA today will announce a new pilot project that will incorporate the first electric vehicles and technologies into the 600,000-vehicle federal fleet.
Congressmen seek to block pollution controls on Navajo coal plant
The massive coal-powered Navajo generating station in Page, Ariz., spews tens of thousands of tons of nitrogen oxide a year into Western skies, spreading haze across the Grand Canyon and other national parks. By law, the 40-year-old plant is supposed to install the "best available retrofit technology" to scrub emissions from its smokestacks.But two Arizona Republicans have called a congressional hearing for Tuesday in an effort to block the Environmental Protection Agency from requiring the retrofits, which they say would cost $1.1 billion and could force the plant, which employs 1,000 people at the power station and a nearby coal mine, to close.
In a letter to the chairmen of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power and the Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs, Reps. Paul Gosar and Trent Franks said the electricity generated by the plant, which pumps water from the Colorado River to Tucson and Phoenix, "is essential to supplying water to 80% of the state's population. We must carefully examine regulations that could threaten the state of Arizona's water and power supply."
The EPA is scheduled to decide this summer whether to require pollution controls for the plant, which is one of the biggest sources of nitrogen oxide emissions in the country. "Our job is to decide, 'Are the parks adequately protected?' " said Colleen McKaughan, associate director of the EPA's air division in San Francisco. "And if they're not, does the facility need additional pollution controls?"
Environmentalists say the plant, besides obscuring the views in parks, is also a health hazard, responsible for high levels of asthma and respiratory disease on the Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations. It is also a major source of toxic mercury emissions into the air and rivers. With Arizona in the midst of building several large solar-powered plants, conservationists say the coal generator could be replaced by clean, renewable energy.

The climate change threat to nuclear power
THE accident at the Fukushima power plant in Japan has led to much discussion about the future of nuclear power. I believe one important lesson of the accident has been overlooked. Nuclear power is often touted as a solution to climate change, but Fukushima serves as a warning that far from solving the climate problem, nuclear power may be highly vulnerable to it.
Two facts that everyone should now know about nuclear power are that it needs access to large volumes of water to cool the reactor and a supply of energy to move the water. For this reason nuclear power plants are typically sited near large bodies of water, often seas or estuaries. It is this attachment to water that makes nuclear power vulnerable to climate change (Energy Policy, vol 39, p 318).
First of all, coastal areas are highly dynamic: storms batter, sea levels rise, and land shifts. This already poses problems for the safety of nuclear plants, and is only going to get worse. Secondly, nuclear power can be disrupted by water scarcity and rising water temperatures.
Many climate models predict an increase in hurricane intensity. Even if they are wrong, existing reactors were built (along with most coastal developments) during a period of historically low hurricane activity and a return to baseline seems likely.
This is not to say an accident will happen every time a hurricane passes by a nuclear power plant. Unlike earthquakes, hurricanes can be predicted, allowing time for preparation. Still, preventative measures are not always taken. For instance, during hurricane Francis in 2004 doors designed to protect safety equipment from flying debris at the St Lucie nuclear power plant in Florida were left open.
Another cause for concern is floods. All nuclear power plants are designed to withstand a certain level of flooding based on historical data, but these figures do not take climate change into account. Floods due to sea-level rise, storm surges and heavy rain will increase in frequency.
This isn't a hypothetical future scenario. In 1999 the Blayais nuclear power plant on the Gironde estuary in France flooded due to a high tide and strong winds that exceeded anything it was designed to withstand. Two of the reactor units on site were severely affected by flooding.
Heat waves are another serious concern, for two reasons. One, the colder the cooling water entering a reactor, the more efficient the production of electricity. And two, once the cooling water has passed through the system it is often discharged back where it came from in a much warmer state.
During the 2003 heat wave in Europe, reactors at inland sites in France were shut down or had their power output reduced because the water receiving the discharge was already warmer than environmental regulations allowed. Citing "exceptional circumstances", the French government relaxed the regulations to maintain the supply of electricity. After subsequent heat waves it became a permanent measure during the summer months.
The relaxing of the regulations causes thermal pollution that reduces the ability of aquatic ecosystems to adapt to warmer temperatures. Some may argue these regional impacts are insignificant compared to the global ramifications of climate change, but they illustrate that nuclear power can actually worsen its impact. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21028138.200-the-climate-change-threat-to-nuclear-power.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news
Threatened Pacific Island Nation makes legal history by challenging European carbon emitter
New York, 23 May 2011 — The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has made legal history by challenging the development of one of Europe's largest coal-fired power stations, opening the door for climate-stricken nations to use international law to take action against major carbon emitters that pose a significant risk to their survival.
The landmark legal paper, written by FSM, Greenpeace and the Environmental Law Service, and presented today at the Threatened Island Nations Climate Conference in New York's Columbia University, offers hope to vulnerable countries on the frontline of climate impacts. FSM is one of many nation states experiencing environmental disasters, such as flooding, tidal surges and destruction of food crops, which are already exacerbated by climate change.

Cold shoulder for climate change
They have never been more certain about what they know. Powerful new satellites can hone in on mountainous regions to measure ice melt. Stronger computers model changes in disruptive weather patterns. Scientists are even more comfortable attributing climate change to visible effects around the globe, from retreating Himalayan glaciers to southwestern U.S. droughts and acidifying oceans.
Yet scientists are still stuck in the mud trying to get that message out in Washington, where House Republicans made one of their first orders of business passing legislation to zero out research budgets for domestic and international climate efforts and unraveling a key EPA declaration that humans have played a critical role in changing the planet.
For instance, National Research Council members got a collective shrug earlier this month when they went to Capitol Hill to share their work — a congressionally mandated, 18-month review of the nuts and bolts of global warming science and ideas for what U.S. policymakers could do about it.
Only a small group of House and Senate aides showed up for private briefings on the study. And while a couple of staffers asked parochial questions about how climate change affects their districts and states, the authors also got the second degree on whether there is even a problem.
"They said, 'There are those who believe it's a bit of hogwash. And not only hogwash, but a fraud,'" said Albert Carnesale, chancellor emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles and chairman of the NRC panel. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/55522.html
Strong atmospheric chemistry feedback to climate warming from Arctic methane emissions
The magnitude and feedbacks of future methane release from the Arctic region are unknown. Despite limited documentation of potential future releases associated with thawing permafrost and degassing methane hydrates, the large potential for future methane releases calls for improved understanding of the interaction of a changing climate with processes in the Arctic and chemical feedbacks in the atmosphere. Here we apply a "state of the art" atmospheric chemistry transport model to show that large emissions of CH4 would likely have an unexpectedly large impact on the chemical composition of the atmosphere and on radiative forcing (RF). The indirect contribution to RF of additional methane emission is particularly important. It is shown that if global methane emissions were to increase by factors of 2.5 and 5.2 above current emissions, the indirect contributions to RF would be about 250% and 400%, respectively, of the RF that can be attributed to directly emitted methane alone. Assuming several hypothetical scenarios of CH4 release associated with permafrost thaw, shallow marine hydrate degassing, and submarine landslides, we find a strong positive feedback on RF through atmospheric chemistry. In particular, the impact of CH4 is enhanced through increase of its lifetime, and of atmospheric abundances of ozone, stratospheric water vapor, and CO2 as a result of atmospheric chemical processes. Despite uncertainties in emission scenarios, our results provide a better understanding of the feedbacks in the atmospheric chemistry that would amplify climate warming.

Yes, it happend before, it will happen again, only this time the magnitude has at least tripled. The system is designed to boot itself, from an unhealthy, unsustainable virii called humanity. Systems seek equilibrium and a new state will appear.
Re. the 1st story: Improved energy efficiency may enable us to pick up those $1000 dollar bills, but they're not just "lying on the ground". They're actually streaming into the pockets of our incumbent energy producers and they're NOT going to let us interrupt their revenue stream without a fight. They'll make up all sorts of crappy arguements, like the Pruis harms the environment more than a Hummer, or the Jevons paradox means energy efficiency is pointless, to keep those $1000 bills coming in.
Climate scientists reveal new candidate for first habitable exoplanet
The planetary system around the red dwarf Gliese 581, one of the closest stars to the Sun in the galaxy, has been the subject of several studies aiming to detect the first potentially habitable exoplanet. Two candidates have already been discarded, but a third planet, Gliese 581d, can be considered the first confirmed exoplanet that could support Earth-like life.
While the more distant planet, Gliese 581d, was initially judged to be too cold for life, the closer-in planet, Gliese 581c, was thought to be potentially habitable by its discoverers.
However, later analysis by atmospheric experts showed that if it had liquid oceans like Earth, they would rapidly evaporate in a 'runaway greenhouse' effect similar to that which gave Venus the hot, inhospitable climate it has today. A new possibility emerged late in 2010, when a team of observers led by Steven Vogt at the University of California, Santa Cruz, announced that they had discovered a new planet, which they dubbed Gliese 581g, or 'Zarmina's World'. This planet, they claimed, had a mass similar to that of Earth and was close to the centre of the habitable zone.
Although it is likely to be a rocky planet, it has a mass at least seven times that of Earth, and is estimated to be about twice its size.
At first glance, Gliese 581d is a pretty poor candidate in the hunt for life: it receives less than a third of the stellar energy Earth does and may be tidally locked, with a permanent day and night side. After its discovery, it was generally believed that any atmosphere thick enough to keep the planet warm would become cold enough on the night side to freeze out entirely, ruining any prospects for a habitable climate.
To test whether this intuition was correct, Wordsworth and colleagues developed a new kind of computer model capable of accurately simulating possible exoplanet climates. The model simulates a planet's atmosphere and surface in three dimensions, rather like those used to study climate change on Earth.
However, it is based on more fundamental physical principles, allowing the simulation of a much wider range of conditions than would otherwise be possible, including any atmospheric cocktail of gases, clouds and aerosols.
To their surprise, they found that with a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere – a likely scenario on such a large planet – the climate of Gliese 581d is not only stable against collapse, but warm enough to have oceans, clouds and rainfall.
One of the key factors in their results was Rayleigh scattering, the phenomenon that makes the sky blue on Earth. In the Solar System, Rayleigh scattering limits the amount of sunlight a thick atmosphere can absorb, because a large portion of the scattered blue light is immediately reflected back to space. However, as the starlight from Gliese 581 is red, it is almost unaffected.
This means that it can penetrate much deeper into the atmosphere, where it heats the planet effectively due to the greenhouse effect of the CO2 atmosphere, combined with that of the carbon dioxide ice clouds predicted to form at high altitudes. Furthermore, the 3D circulation simulations showed that the daylight heating was efficiently redistributed across the planet by the atmosphere, preventing atmospheric collapse on the night side or at the poles.
Scientists are particularly excited by the fact that at 20 light years from Earth, Gliese 581d is one of our closest galactic neighbours. For now, this is of limited use for budding interstellar colonists – the furthest-travelled man-made spacecraft, Voyager 1, would still take over 300,000 years to arrive there. However, it does mean that in the future telescopes will be able to detect the planet's atmosphere directly. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Climate_scientists_reveal_new_candidate_for_first_habitable_exoplanet_999.html
Free solar panels are slashing electricity bills
Families in Aspley could save a third on their electricity bill with free solar panels.
E.ON and the Council are working in partnership with Nottingham City Homes (NCH) to install solar panels on up to 600 suitable homes in Aspley. In April, the Hobster family on Allendale Avenue become the second family to benefit from this scheme and they're already seeing the benefits.
Based on the type of house that they live in, the Hobster family should save around a third off their electricity bill over the next 12 months. However early meter readings indicate that they may well save much more
Two Greenland Glaciers Lose Enough Ice to Fill Lake Erie
ScienceDaily (May 24, 2011) — A new study aimed at refining the way scientists measure ice loss in Greenland is providing a "high-definition picture" of climate-caused changes on the island.

In the last decade, two of the largest three glaciers draining that frozen landscape have lost enough ice that, if melted, could have filled Lake Erie.
'ONDOY' 2 , 'Chedeng' has super typhoon potential like unforgettable 'Ondoy'
The storm has the potential to grow into a super typhoon and bring the unprecedented torrential rains "Ondoy" unleashed on Metro Manila.
Based on the report of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration to Malacañang, "Chedeng" is predicted to bring heavy rains like "Ondoy" which devastated Luzon and Metro Manila in 2009.
Barely 24 hours after entering Philippine territory, tropical storm "Chedeng" (Songda) has affected over 8,000 people and caused P10.906 million in damage to property, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said Tuesday night.
'Chedeng' affects 8,418, causes P10.906M in damage http://www.gmanews.tv/story/221541/nation/chedeng-affects-8418-causes-p10906m-in-damage
Songda to Threaten the Philippines, then Japan
The main threat to the Philippines from Songda will likely be the heavy rain that will fall over northern areas of the country, especially in the mountainous regions where orographic lifting will enhance the rainfall. Rainfall amounts of more than 1 foot are possible through Friday in these areas.
Songda is expected to then threaten Japan over the weekend and early next week. There is a slight chance that Songda could re-curve enough that it would spare much of Japan and only bring rain and wind to the Ryukyu Islands. However, it appears that the storm will track close enough to bring at least some heavy rainfall and gusty winds to southern and eastern parts Japan, including Kyushu, Shikoku and portions of Honshu.
The threat even remains for the storm to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the areas devastated by the recent tsunami and nuclear radiation. This storm system bears close watching as even the slightest change in track will have significant ramifications for these areas.
Normally, I support natural gas as much as ethanol, very little while acknoledging it's somewhat better than oil. But seeing that big energy companies and Koch is against it, it must mean that it will hurt their interests, which is polluting the world. I'll throw my support behind that bill.
@#5 Sault,
The $1000 bills are lying on the ground not moving. But there are hired goons trying to pull us away from it. Once you get past the goons, everything's easy. Who will win? The clean energy lobby, energy users, and consumers, or the energy lobby? We'll find out soon.
Climate change may be linked to allergies
Increased prevalence of two allergens — mold and ragweed — linked to climate change may account for an increase in U.S. allergies, researchers suggest.
"We believe this is the first large national study to show that the growing prevalence of allergies, suggested by other studies, is largely due to increases in environment-based allergens previously associated with climate change," Naides says in a statement.
During a four-year period, sensitization to common ragweed grew 15 percent nationally while mold grew 12 percent vs. sensitization to the other allergens combined increased 5.8 percent, Naides says.
A study published in March in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences determined ragweed season was nearly a month longer in 2009 than in 1995 in northern parts of North America, possibly as a result of climate change. Mold, affected by precipitation, may also increase in prevalence with a warmer climate, Naides adds. http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2011/05/24/Climate-change-may-be-linked-to-allergies/UPI-86741306284028/
Hey, Business! Cities Are Planning for Climate Change While the Feds Fiddle
Some cities — tired of waiting for Congress to decide whether global warming is real — are busy preparing for the coming storm with a slew of projects designed to lessen the effects of climate change. Investors and entrepreneurs, listen up: These cities are willing to spend money now in hopes of preventing the steep economic costs of tomorrow's droughts and floods.
That doesn't mean it'll be easy, or any less controversial. And in some regions, it may mean traditional businesses like builders may lose out to environmental consultant firms and shoreline restoration companies.
Still, the movement to adapt cities to climate change is underway. And in almost every case, it's being driven by activist mayors and city councils. That's spurred a change within the investment community over the past year, according to Deutsche Bank. Investors are now more willing to pour money into state and local projects than those driven by federal policy. http://www.bnet.com/blog/clean-energy/hey-business-cities-are-planning-for-climate-change-while-the-feds-fiddle/5311
VIDEO Fifty years ago today (May 25), President John F. Kennedy presented NASA and the nation with a historic challenge: To put a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
Kennedy's dramatic 1961 speech jump-started NASA's Apollo program, a full-bore race to the moon that succeeded when Neil Armstrong's boot clomped down into the lunar dirt on July 20, 1969. The moon landing was a tremendous achievement for humanity and a huge boost to American technological pride, which had been seriously wounded by several recent space race defeats to the Soviet Union.
The impact of Kennedy's words lingers still, long after Apollo came to an end in 1972. The speech fundamentally changed NASA, ramping up the space agency's public profile and creating a huge infrastructure that continues to exist today.
NASA Unveils New Spaceship for Deep Space Exploration
NASA on Tuesday announced a plan to develop a new deep space vehicle, one based on an earlier capsule concept, in order to send astronauts on expeditions to an asteroid, and then on to Mars.
The spaceship, known as the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), will be based on designs originally planned for the Orion spacecraft, NASA officials announced today (May 24). Orion was part of NASA's now-canceled Constellation program, which aimed to return astronauts to the moon by the 2020s. http://www.space.com/11765-nasa-deep-space-exploration-vehicle-announcement.html
Japan's ongoing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis has spawned some rapid-fire developments for future energy production. This weekend, plans to initiate the compulsory installation of solar energy panels on every building in the country by 2030 were announced, along with a proposed plan that promises to be the largest public infrastructure in human history: the LUNA RING.
Though the "very optimistic forecast" for the project's launch is 2035, the necessary components for building LUNA RING are already in wide use: photovoltaic panels, remote controlled robots, laser and microwave transmitters are utilized in innumerable capacities right here on the ground. In this sense, LUNA RING seems not-so-far fetched. However, when trying to determine the economic requirements for such a massive undertaking, CSP's Tetsuji Yoshida answers with a non-answer: "[P]rice is a human tool for exchanging goods. Maybe this type of project could be out of range of cost considerations. We would have to find a new word for it?" Certainly this is indicative of the incalculable ambition of LUNA RING's enormousness. It rings a bit of Carl Sagan's novel, Contact; perhaps for a project like LUNA RING, one with such sweeping goals and in need of seemingly impossible resources, a global cooperative is the only means by which Shimizu Corporation's vision can be realized. http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2011/05/24/luna-ring-solar-energy-from-the-moon/
Much of the world learned about Apollo 11 through the Voice of America sessions, recorded by the United StatesÂ' official broadcast station.

Unanswered: Best Practice for App Updates / Offline handling
I want to improve the performance of my app. My app fetches JSONP data from my server. My question now is how is the best practice for doing data updates and saving data for offline mode?
My current workflow was the following:
- Fetch data from JSONP-Api if device is online
- Sync it to an localStorage-Store
- set an timestamp for last data update
- on next store.load() check if a defined time interval has passed since the last update
Are there any improvements or better logic I can implement to do data updates?
How can I send only changed data from the server, and replace/update it in the app?
In my current app project I have different stores:
- productdata
- categorydata
- assetdata (link to attached images/pdfs)
By now I have a JSONP proxy for each store. Could i reach a better performance if the server would send a nested json which holds the data of all stores by doing only one http request than three?
8 Mar 2013 6:09 AM #2
I have loads of experience in this kind of thing, but really the solution depends on what kind of data you're handling... is it user specific or just generic content that gets updated on the server? What are the sizes of the stores involved? Are you deploying as native or webapp (or both?!) Would be happy to advise based on your individual situation.
8 Mar 2013 6:39 AM #3
shepsii thanks for your help!
At this time I'm loading data from an product information system (mysql database). My three stores all have max 500-600 records, but this will increase soon (many thousands expected) . At this point the largest JSON-File is about 74kB. And I load each of the stores in a single JSONP-Request. Maybe in the future there are client specific data, but for now it comes from the same database.
I have the following app structure:
- show a list with categories (nested in n levels, each category has a parent_id ) ~ 500 records
- navigate through categorie tree / by filtering the list by the parent_id / id of the category which has been clicked (maybe this is worse? is there a better solution?)
- at the end of the tree I show a detail panel of a product which is related to a category
- a product has keys related data to an asset store (linked PDFs, Images, text files etc.)
So you see i have three stores which are related to each other connected via primary keys (ids).
If I show the detail panel for a product I filter the other Stores to collect the data I need to display. With 500-600 records I don't have performance issues but I have to improve it when the number grows. And I think my approach by filtering the Stores (e.g. filter asset store for images related to product #5 with a regexp of the id).
Just because of the fact, that i want to display and download PDFs I deploy the app to native via Phonegap.
I really appreciate your help :-)

To get around potential issues with your filter system, and to be able to deal with larger data sets, given you're going to native I would suggest using a sqlite plugin with phonegap eg, https://github.com/brodyspark/PhoneG...Plugin-Android, there is one for ios too. You can test locally using websql - the queries will remain the same, you'll just need to change the line in your code that opens the database.
The filtering will be fixed because a sqlite proxy will only fetch the records it needs if you use remoteFilter. I don't know if the sencha proxy does this - I haven't personally looked into it - but the one I wrote would.
If the thought of plugins to phonegap scare you (they did me at first!) and you're confident your data sets won't go past 5mb, you can just use websql. the sqlite sencha touch proxies will still work the same.
Apple are very pernickity about where you put data inside an app. They hate it when a new app is downloaded and instantly data is put into icloud. You can get away with this if the data is all client-specific, but if it's just generic content they really hate this getting into icloud. You'll need to make sure that the metadata on the sqlite db file is set appropriately.
Another method I use is to write data in JSON format to files using phonegap's read/write tools. The reason I like this is that you can be fairly consistent in testing as there's just some updating code that you need to test natively, and everything else is the same.
The disadvantage here is you have to read the whole JSON file into memory every time you want to do anything.
I've found that only giving data to Sencha Touch stores when they MUST have it for display, massively increases performance. There is nothing that kills the performance of a Sencha Touch app more than having a view that isn't currently active, that contains a dataview/list attached to a store, which is then manipulated, as ST will go update the DOM of the inactive view, iterating through the Ext.XTemplate for each affected record, adding new listeners for new records etc, and the amount of memory and processing this eats up is ugly. So that's why I'd use a sqlite proxy that only reads in the data from the database as and when you need it for display.

Hi thanks for your answer, this really helps me!!!
Of course I will use a database as you suggested. I would never have the idea to use a database because my scope was only sencha touch. But as you said I can use Phonegap plugins to achieve this.
If I come to the point where I want to display data I would fetch the data from the DB and put it in a temporary store (which is bound to the list) ?
Then I would set up an sqlite database, and to update my data I would send data from the server via JSONP and update the database records which have been changed.
Have you some improvements (server side) which I can implement to minimize mobile traffic? I don't want to send all data, but only new/changed data.

Released: Jun 01st, 2005
Running Time: 84
Director: Mike Donner
Company: Studio 2000
Distribution Companies: Paladin
Cast: Brad Slater, Rafael Alencar, Jason Kingsley, Christian Owen, Ty Walker, Niko (II), Jason Crew, John Marcus, Victor Perseo, Jason Harley
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
The label and Alencar's presence should help this move.
The stunning Niko talks to the camera about his love of jeans, leading into four scenes before he jacks off in the final frames. He sure is nice to look at. It's a loose thread that ties them all together, and falls a little flat by Studio 2000 standards. Jason Crew brandishes his big boner through his cut-offs, much to the delight of Jason Harley. They work up a sweat as they take turns topping each other-this is one of the stronger scenes. The threesome that starts with Rafael Alencar ripping his jeans as he bends over starts out with humor and promise, but feels rushed and incomplete. After an oral session that has Alencar and Brad Slater sharing spit on Jason Kingsley's big meat, Slater takes turns sitting on both of their cocks? and then the scene ends, before it really gets going. Victor Perseo and John Marcus get a few good licks and thrusts in during their session (another flip-flop), but the Christian Owen/Ty Walker pairing doesn't have enough energy.

This cracks me up to no end. Keep up the good work, Public Intern!
Look at his cheeks. They're all flush with youthful vigour and hope. Awwww.
Good work, Stevie!
Can you now target the cat owners in Seattle that allow their cats to roam free to pee and poop all over their neighbor's gardens and never seem to realize they should pick up after their pets too?
The Public Intern is soooooooo adorable; i'm just afraid the jaded, vicious queens at the Stranger will eat him alive....
another thought: People has TeenPeople; maybe the Stranger could put out the TeenStranger and capture that very desirable demographic...and Dan could have a treat, getting to interview nubile young journalistas for any open positions...
That woman with the two huge dogs, who presumably lives with them in an APARTMENT, should have them taken away from her. It's animal abuse to keep dogs that large in an apartment.
Uhhhh.....Maybe you didn't observe any dogs shitting on their walks because you weren't looking at DOG shit? Everybody poops...
The size of a dog is not a good determinant of what kind of space they need -- any halfway intelligent dog-adoption agency will tell you that. Some big dogs are low-energy and sleep all day. Some tiny dogs need lots of room to run around and need lots of space (I'm looking at you, Jack Russells).
@Fnarf: Maybe she has a huge condo.
Seriously. Plus, for all you know, that woman walks her large dogs eight times a day. She was out in the middle of the day with them. Lame, fnarf.
As a longtime Belltown resident, I noted that the piles of dog shit really started increasing when the city turned the crack park at 3rd and Bell into a dog park.
Just sayin'.
I'd like an enterprising individual to start selling small paper flags (biodegradable, of course!) with W's picture on them. Civic-minded individuals could then place them on renegade piles of dog poo in order to both beautify the landscape
and raise the public spirit.
Make lemonade out of lemons I always say.
Look at the ACTUAL DOGS in the picture and tell me they are breeds that "lay around and sleep all day". Dogs don't need to be walked on leashes in alleys; they need to run. Big dogs are farm animals.
Fnarf: You are totally wrong. Not all that many large breeds need to run (or would even like to given the chance). My 100-pounder will only half-jog for a hunk of meat. When I let him off leash he walks around casually. Though he's young, his preferred M.O. is to sleep 20 hours out of 24. That's why mastiffs make excellent apartment pets.
There's a sign in Fremont along N 34th about two blocks east of the Fremont Public Library where the person living there asks people not to poop in his front yard and even has plastic bags.
Doesn't seem to work.
You figured out that people from all over town drive to Belltown and park on-street just to let their dogs relieve themselves?
Clever! You'd be surprised how many enterprising journalists overlook this possibility.
Is the intern on J-date? He's super cute and I'd love to take him out to dinner!
I understand his frustration. I am also fiercely opposed to people pooping on private property, well, unless it's their own I guess.
I heart the Public Intern.
I'm a dog owner and I totally support signs like these - I've chased after people who leave their dog's shit in Volunteer Park with a sweet "oh, are you out of a bag?". People who won't scoop the poop make all dog owners look bad.
I'll disagree with fnarf about the size of the dog/apartment issue, though. My 70 lb dog is a great apartment dog! She likes to run sometimes, but mostly she likes to lie around.
Way back in '94, I lived in a building of studio apartments - my place must have been about 400 square feet, max. My next door neighbor was a guy with 2 HUGE dogs. I used to wonder how he could live in such a small place with them, but it didn't seem to bother any of them. I never heard the dogs make any noise, I think they were happy.
Great job again Public Intern! You really showed some enterprising abilities with the wiping of the poop on the actual sign where it said shit! I can't say that I would have thought of that one myself! Sorry you were scared by the homeless guy. I think for your next assignment you should try to round up mentally ill homeless people (or at least one) and get them into the hospital! Now THAT would be a real challenge! Just say "Hi! I'm an intern for the Stranger and I'd like to offer you some antipsychotic medication!" See how they respond...You probably won't get attacked.
As the owner of Jack Russells I have to totally disagree with fnarf. We have had big dogs that have the run of our property and just lay back and hang out all day quite happily. The little Jack Russells take off, chase everything and are totally high voltage. A dog's personality and breed are better indicators of their optimal activity levels, not size.
On the subject of discarded poop: I had the problem of poop on my lawn twice before leaving a pleasant note to my dear neighbor informing them of how their unsanitary habits would force me to call animal control. They haven't been back :)
Cat Poop and Piss Sucks Too @3:
Are you fucking kidding me?? Have you ever owned a cat...? I'm guessing not, seeing as any cat owner can tell you a cat sure as fuck isn't going on any lease, and no one in their right mind follows the thing around on the off chance it decides to take a crap.
But hey, if you're down with having your neighbors trounce through your rose bushes so you don't have to see unsightly dookie, be my guest. Less fertilizer for you.
Better yet, just buy yourself a pack of coyotes. Problem solved.
Fnarf, I'm a tiny bit disappointed in you. But I will let it pass, because of all the good you do.
Picking up after your dog is the only civilized thing to do.
As a Belltown resident who regularly almost steps in some lazy ignorant fuck's mess, I just have to say THANK YOU.
Hey Steven, do you think you could come to West Seattle and hand out some of those flyers?
Fnarf: I have 2 great danes and you don't need a huge house when all they want to do is sit on your lap, and follow you around.
A noble effort indeed.
Given the Stranger's anti-viaduct bias, perhaps the Public Intern should be given the job of pulling it down?
He'd probably have to apply for a demolition permit from the DPD, first...
If you really wanted to address the problem you should hang those signs on the necks of all the skater punks and homeless teens with their pit bulls. They are the only ones I ever see not picking up their shit. Say what you will about the yuppies, but they don't want their expensive shoes soiled either.
The people who leave their dog's poop on the streets in Belltown (not the human poop which is quite easily distinguished) are not dog park denizens; so please don't blame the park's existence for their piles. Their dogs do not come to the park because they are either not socialized or are evil. I remain convinced that evil owners spawn evil dogs. My dog will only poop in the dog park, which causes problems when we go out of town! At the park I always make sure to pick up after my dog plus 3 other piles: good for the park, good karma for me. We at the dog park are trying to make it a safe clean place, despite virtually no support from the powers that be. Support your local dog park! If we give up on it it will again be a crack park, illuminated at night with the strobe of lighter flames shining off the syringes littering the ground. Every time the dogs dig a new hole, we expect it to be the one where we find the body.

I came upon the thread below doing a google search, and while it seems the previous poster also thought about affecting the primary nav, he must have gone an alternate route instead.
I am trying to use the plugin with a free child theme (Tote, by Themedy) that doesn't have a secondary sidebar, even when enabled in Genesis settings. I thought I might go around the need for a secondary menu by having a different primary menu on specific pages - is there any way I can make the plugin affect the primary nav instead?
Thanks in advance,

Malcolm X: Made by the Media, 1960-1965
|Shea Baldwin '14
|Faculty Mentor(s)
|HIST 460: Senior Thesis Seminar
During the Civil Rights Movement, Malcolm X, a black Muslim leader from New York City, caught the attention of the New York Amsterdam News. This newspaper portrayed Malcolm X as a leader for African Americans who sought equality. It used aggressive terms such as "powerful" and "strong" to make Malcolm X into a hero of the African-American community. It portrayed him as a leader even after his departure from the Nation of Islam. After Malcolm X's death, the New York Amsterdam News made him into a martyr for African Americans.
