Skip to comments.Professors don't rub off politics on their students
Posted on 04/04/2008 8:50:22 AM PDT by Santa Fe_Conservative
Conservatives complain that college professors lean left when it comes to politics and the data mostly show that's true. But new research suggests the personal politics of academics have little effect on what their students think.
The research, to be published this year in the journal PS: Political Science and Politics, analyzes separate surveys on the attitudes of about 6,800 students at 38 universities and how they changed between their freshman and senior years. Then it examines whether those results are affected by the political attitudes of the faculty at their particular schools.
The short answer is no, according to researchers Gordon Hewitt of Hamilton College, an active Democrat, and Mack Mariani of Xavier University, who has worked for Republicans.
It is true that schools with a more liberal faculty tended to attract more liberal students. But on the question of how students' views evolved, there was little impact, Hewitt said in a phone interview Thursday.
About 60 percent of students didn't change their political outlooks much during college. Those that did moved slightly to the left, but the change mirrored that of 18- to 24-year-olds generally.

The experience my son had at college only made him MORE CONSERVATIVE.
If that is true the Professors probably do themselves in by sounding crazy.
By the college age I generally wouldn't be too concered about a child suddenly adopting a professor's political views anyway - they're already old enough to have formed their ideas. This study just shows that the professors tend to re-enforce the liberal leanings that were already put into place by earlier public teachers.
No, you fail to recognize that their public schools had already laid the foundation so there was not much more room for them to move to the left.
It doesn't include the concept that the impact of school, teachers and professors may actually start at a much earlier age than college. Listening to what our youngsters brought home from both the elementary school and the high school would suggest at least in our community the indoctrination starts early.
It makes those already liberal go radical/communist in other words.
Those who have been taught from an early age that liberalism is simply foolish have their shields up.
I find it interesting, though, that the left at first was denying that the majority of academics were libs, then that there wasn't attempted indoctrination going on, now it's just that the indoctrination doesn't work anyway.
Note this curious claim of neutrality:
"The short answer is no, according to researchers Gordon Hewitt of Hamilton College, an active Democrat, and Mack Mariani of Xavier University, who has worked for Republicans."
Interesting that Mariani is not described as an active Republican; perhaps another demoncrat who "has worked for Republicans." For whom? Arlen Specter?
So according to the article:
100% of college students who's politics changed in college became more leftist.
Out of every 10 college students, 4 become more leftist, 6 don't change, none became more conservative.
How does this lead to the title "Professors don't rub off politics on their students"?
Darn, you beat me to the punch.
College students are like Hatians who are Christian during the day but practice voo doo at night. The issue is do students feel compelled to regurgitate the left wing teachers views for passing grades. Brainwashing is practiced submission.
"It doesnt include the concept that the impact of school, teachers and professors may actually start at a much earlier age than college."
Yes, the damage is done in the public school system.
When I was young, however, my political leanings were established by my parents. I do not recall much political talk
in grade school, but that was in the 50s.
And the other issue is whether or not students who hold a conservative ideology are punished for their views with lower grades for the same quality of work.
Let's take a look at just one well known case.
Hillary Rhodam was a Goldwater supporter during her high school years. It was during this period that she was taken under the wing of a leftist religious figure and turned to the dark side. She kept in contact with this individual for decades.
Look at the makeup of our University campuses today. Conservatives can't even voice their opinions on many of them. Student or university pool funds are used to bring in leftist speakers almost exclusively on many campuses.
I think this article is shilling for the left. It sure doesn't address the reality we have seen over the years.
But you missed the phrase 'mirrors 17 to 24 year olds generally'. The non-college population also shifts left during those years, and serves as a control group.
If the professoriate was successfully indoctrinating their views, one would expect more of a shift left among those in college than among those not in college.
Remember Churchill's dictum "If you're not a liberal at 20 you have no heart, if you are not a conservative at 30 you have no brain."
Early 21st century America's extended adolescense probably shifts the relevant years about 5 years later in life.
That's what it did to me, too, and that wasn't because of the professors, that was from a good friend of mine.
That they are even permitted to try is the real travesty!
"And the other issue is whether or not students who hold a conservative ideology are punished for their views with lower grades for the same quality of work."
I don't think that's true. I think students with a conservative ideology receive lower grades for BETTER quality work.
As for my son at Purdue, I tell him to just do what he has to do in the mandatory liberal arts classes to get a good grade. Whatever the subject matter, he has to put in that: "(insert book title) shows how man's inhumanity to man transcends the class struggle." It's total nonsense but it works like an ancient magic spell to open the doors to a B+.
He doesn't buy into any of this garbage and has been punished for "wrong thinking."
And beyond grading there's the issue of patronage. If some professor doesn't write a good recommendation, the student's graduate and professional prospects are significantly affected.
"But new research suggests the personal politics of academics have little effect on what their students think."
Most students regard the liberal can as game playing and pay no attention to it.
"...researchers Gordon Hewitt of Hamilton College, an active Democrat, and Mack Mariani of Xavier University, who has worked for Republicans."
Note: neither researcher is a Republican. This is a CYA exercise for universities and their professors who are 90% liberal and 100% biased against conservatives. This will be one of the bogus studies cited by academia to try to negate the fact that they are biased.
Certainly when it comes to religion, the data shows that kids are far less likely to be religious when they leave college than when they arrive.
liberal cant not liberal can
They wouldn't bother to try to spread this propaganda is it weren't true.
I meet all kinds of youngsters coming from college and they are horribly swayed by what they were indoctrinated into in college. They actually believe there is no way their professors could possibly lie to them. They have the same beliefs of the national media.
But they probably keep conservatives from going into graduates studies in some fields.
Me too—I went to the liberal University of California at Davis and then the liberal Georgetown University and every year I became more conservative. . .
I have bookmarked hundreds of stories the refute this study.
In an intellectually difficult environment,
Magical thinking sticks out like a sore thumb.
In Engineering school, my professors with
"insufficiently rigorous" opinions were
generally held in disdain
This was even more true in Medical school
That the conservative ideas actually work in the real world and the liberal ones don't is so true.
I took Political Science at Indiana University in the late '70' - early '80's. We had a prof for "Comparative Political Systems" who had obviously not spent a day in a real job in his life. The class should have been called "Soviet Communism Here & Now." He espoused all the usual garbage about "workers controlling the means of production." I was working my way through college doing commercial construction. I knew perfectly well that turning the means of production over to construction workers was going have 3 results:
1. The Workers Committee was going to wind up in the parking lot with a keg of beer and a bucket of chicken,
2. The "means of production" (company tools) were going to disappear into the back of the "workers committee" pickups;
3. The building was not going to get built.
What a dunderhead. But, in the early 1990s, Myles Brand appointed him Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. No wonder IU is so screwed up. Now Myles Brand can do the same damage to the NCAA.
When I was in college in the sixties I exited a degree in History because the History Department was too left wing.
Made it harder to give them raises at year end.
Ended up with a business degree. I would have preferred a History degree but I would not have done well in that marxist environment. Probably would have ended up driving a truck.
So, hey prof's: no harm, no foul. Keep up the good work!
One thing successful students learn early is to determine what the professor wants to hear, and then parrot that back to him. If the prof wants liberal dogma, then that's what he gets. It's all about grades.
My son joined the Marines the day he turned 18. He went to Moorpark College until he was sent to boot camp. He had a teacher that was a liberal and he asked me what to do about a liberal teacher. I told him it was just a game and to play along with it because his grade was more important than trying to make a statement.
My kid went on to become Recon and while out of the Marines, jumped at the opportunity to return and go to Iraq. In his mind it was an opportunity to get involved with something exciting. My kid is an adrenaline junkie.
After he came home he was lost as to what to do with his life that would keep the adrenaline flowing. He tried to get on the Los Angeles Police Department but the fact he went to Iraq was a deal killer.
He got on to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Apparently (unlike the Los Angeles Police Department) being a Marine Recon was not a determent to a job well done. 22 of 23 applicants were in the service. The only non-service recruitment was a woman. My son told me that she held her own.
The point of all this is to keep involved with your kids. Let them know what is BS and where to look for the truth in news.
Sorry that after Duncan Hunter I can not point them to Fox News, Hannity and ORiely.
In my political science class in 2001, I was the only conservative in the class. And believe me, the other students weren't well informed about political issues. In the military, it's almost a 100% reversal! At least in my unit it is. We're pretty much all conservatives. Sometimes it feels like I joined the Republican Army :-)
Ooh, better yet, tell him to use the word 'heteronormative' correctly in a paper. Personally, I've found that regardless of what you say around it, just proving that you know what it means is an instant A+ from any professor that's even slightly liberal. Personally, I also just got an A+ for writing a paper about how zombie movies express a fear of loss of humanity... you've just got to find the right classes, and the right profs =)
Agreed. I had a Humanity of Islam class in college. Before that I lived in an Islamic country for two years and worked in intel dealing with Islamic issues for an additional three years. My first two papers for that class spoke of my experience with Islam contrasting to the "peaceful" teachings of the Koran. When my real life experiences did not match the teachings of the religion of peace, I received two C's. The only correction on those papers was a sentence at the end saying "This paper does not reflect the teachings of Islam".
For my subsequent papers I lied and wrote about how flowery wonderful Islam was and the world would be a utopia if we all abided by its concepts. I received A's henceforward in that class.
I think...only from experiencing this in attending Louisiana Tech...that as professors work to get you smarter and they use tons of liberal thoughts and ideas to accomplish this...you the student...start to get very intelligent and ask some really stupid ideas...which can't be explained away by a incompetent professor. The more naive students might just accept the guy's ideas as legit...but most folks start asking "opposite effect" questions...which trigger more analysis. So I'd proudly say that the more that a liberal professor says...the more that he damages his student's perception.
If I were you, I would have invited the prof to appear in a video that you planned to post on the web regarding the religion of peace as a class project.
I don't know the circumstance of your university. There are obviously some good professors out there, and you seem like you would be one of them. We've agreed on a number of issues.
As a general rule, I think kids should be exposed to conservatism on an equal footing with socialism/communism. Of course I'd refer no socialism/communism, but I am willing to let conservatism stand on it's own, as long as it is presented to be as valid an ideology has the others.
80 to 90% leftist professors? That isn't right. We shouldn't allow that. Salespeople will tell you that you have to make calls to get sales. I think that concept is as valid on a university campus as it is in the car dealership. You don't sell something unless it's presented in the best light possible.
If we don't demand that conservatism be taught on an equal basis with the other ideologies, then it will not sell as frequently as it should.
If you had top of the line Mazerattis on sale for $25,000, how many would you sell if the showroom was in a out of the way place in the city with the door locked and the windows covered?
Conservatism is all too often relagated to the out of the way places, with the doors locked and the windows covered.
Our politicians are not selling it. It's not being allowed to compete on our university campuses. It's begining to show in our societal attitudes and political choices.
Cornell had 9 conservatives out of 229 faculty in some seven departments; my school has perhaps five "Republicans" in seven humanities departments totaling well over 100 faculty.
But the problem with "equal coverage" is that it simply isn't going to happen, nor do we really want the government to try to enforce it. While that might seem good in the short run, having the government tell you who to hire on the basis of politics would be the absolute worst outcome---you could easily end up with governments making things, yes, WORSE by saying RINOs were "conservatives." I still don't know how, exactly, ANY conservative gets hired, but it still happens. I know a department (and I won't name it to protect the faculty member) which hired a conservative at our school recently.
The solution is less government aid for all schools. If you get government out, market pressures will force schools to have academic balance, because parents surely don't want their kids hearing a lot of this junk.
I'm sympathetic to your opposing arguement. I do see problems along the lines of what you address. I would however think that government funds should be predicated on the idea of a balanced education being provided to the student body.
Why should we allow these universities to corrupt our kids with federal dollars.
The feds (and the faculties as well) wouldn't allow ten minutes to go by if there were 95% whites at these universities. The ACLU would jump in with both feet.
Would you agree, or do you think I'm using a bad model here? Would you state that universities do pretty much reflect proper percentages compared to the populace at large, or would you say they don't?
I agree it's a worthy objective. In reality, I fear it would only lead to less free thinking and actual conservative ideas being allowed in.
Yes, it is interesting. The studies I've read and lifetime events have taught me that the higher educated an individual the more neutral they become. Less educated libs and conservs both are more polarized. What's always interesting are mixed marriages where one spouse is well educated and the other is just a hs grad. Either way, education will rarely change a students core values. Instead they will evolve and realize that each side has its strengths and weaknesses.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThe body is elongate and compressed, the tongue adnate, the head is slightly compressed.The pelvic fins are completely separated, no membrane is present between the first and the second dorsal fins. The first dorsal fin is shallow and its margin rounded, the fourth spine is slightly longer than the other spines, and the caudal fin is deeply emarginate. The specimens have a pair of elongated caudal fin filaments that makes the caudal fin a peculiar shape as typical for the species. Specimens above 70 mm SL show the presence of the elongated caudal fin filaments (Hoese and Larson 1994). Body is covered with ctenoid scales while anteriorly under the middle of the first dorsal fin and on the belly th scale are cycloid; sides of the nape and the pectoral base are scaled; the prepelvic area are naked; the longitudinal-scale count is 142; the transverse-scale count is 40. Colour. Overall colouration is similar to that described by Hoese and Larson (1994). The top of the head and the dorsal surface of the body are brownish gray; the rest of the head and the body is white to pale gray. The body has two dark red stripes, the dorsal stripe extending from the front of the snout through the eye and just above the pectoral base and along the upper body to the tip of the upper caudal filament; the ventral stripe runs parallel to the first stripe, beginning at the side of the upper lip, extending across the upper part of the preoperculum and middle of the operculum, over middle of the pectoral base, continuing on the body behind the pectoral base, and reaching the tip of the lower caudal filament.The colour of the stripes is dark red to reddish brown, darkest anteriorly, and the stripes on the caudal filaments are outlined in white. The eye is yellowish white dorsally and ventrally with a reddish brown stripe through the middle, and the lower lip is white. The first dorsal fin possesses a large oval black spot extending between the third and the fifth dorsal spines.

Not unexpected...there is no short term catalyst to continue the move north. Fiscal Q3 and Q4 are the slow seasonal business quarters with the cold weather and storms complicating OSP installs. Outside of a major announcement before the fiscal year end earnings release in May, I see a trading range of about $2.75-$3.40. I think we will see a slightly lower EPS($.04-$.06) in this quarter and next, but the business fundamentals are in tact. This should put the fiscal year earnings at approx $0.22/share, so the price range described above seems to be fairly valued at 15X's earnings. I do anticipate some renewed momentum in the 2nd half of calendar 2011 as more homecloud visibility emerges. While I don't think they will have any meaningful business from this intitative until calendar 2012, the buzz should put some momentum back in play.Short term, I do not believe that this is a trade but patience will be rewarded a year from now. It all depends on your objectives..trading or investing.
Asid from Homecloud they are looking to move into the software area and internet over TV could resurrect that division in a large way. Also the buildout of 4g networks gives them yet another area up their alley.I would expect new R&D to hinder Gaap results but they still should be able to margin well enough on a Non Gaap basis. Valuation will continue to get better as revenues start to ramp next year.We will need to understand the game because the road will be rocky but then smooth out quite a bit going forward. Next Q and guidance should answer more questions and clarify where they are presently at.
Thanks. Do you really think we will see 3.30 soon. I hope so How do you to a value of 15 x earnings if u don't me asking.

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (Paperback)
Special Order
First published in 1792, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman was an instant success, turning its thirty-three-year-old author into a minor celebrity. A pioneering work of early feminism that extends to women the Enlightenment principle of "the rights of man," its argument remains as relevant today as it was for Woll-stonecraft's contemporaries. "Mary Wollstonecraft was not the first writer to call for women to receive a real, challenging education," writes Katha Pollitt in the new Introduction. "But she was the first to connect the education of women to the transformation of women's social position, of relations between the sexes, and even of society itself. She was the first to argue that women's intellectual equality would and should have actual consequences. The winds of change sweep through her pages."
This classic work of early feminism remains as relevant and passionate today as it was for Wollstonecraft's contemporaries. This edition includes new explanatory notes.
About the Author
Mary Wollstonecraft was a British author, philosopher, and advocate of women s rights. Raised by an abusive and neglectful father, Wollstonecraft was determined to have her own livelihood, and worked as a teacher and governess before becoming a translator and advisor for Joseph Johnson, a publisher of radical texts, in 1788. It was during this time that she wrote her most famous work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, in which she argued against the idea that women are helpless and inferior to men, which was followed by Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman, which asserted that women had strong sexual desires.
Wollstonecraft passed away tragically in 1797, ten days after the birth of her second daughter, Mary, who would go on to write the literary classic Frankenstein. The life and death of Mary Wollstonecraft has been the subject of many biographies, including one written by her husband, Memoirs of the Author of a Vindication of the Rights of Woman, published in 1798.
Katha Pollitt, the author of "Virginity or Death!", is a poet, essayist, and columnist for "The Nation". She has won many prizes and awards for her work, including the National Book Critics Circle Award for her first collection of poems, "Antarctic Travelle"r, and two National Magazine Awards for essays and criticism. She lives in New York City.
Praise For…
"We hear [Mary Wollstonecraft's] voice and trace her influence even now among the living."

No. 9 Georgia Downs No. 8 Tennessee, 4-1
March 1, 2013
ATHENS, Ga ----- The ninth-ranked Georgia men's tennis team beat the eighth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers in their SEC opener 4-1 on a cold Friday afternoon at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
"Our guys came out and competed very hard and [winning the doubles point] gave us a lot of confidence for singles," said head coach Manuel Diaz. "We had a great start on every court, but Tennessee didn't go away. I'm really proud with how our guys stayed focused. I'm very happy and proud of all of our guys. Tennessee is a very good, young team and I think we're making strides as a very good, young team ourselves."
Georgia captured the doubles point for the ninth time in 11 attempts this season. Tennessee struck first when Hunter Reese and Brandon Fickey beat Eric Diaz and Austin Smith 8-5 at No. 3. Georgia's sixth-ranked duo of Hernus Pieters and Ben Wagland quickly evened things up at No. 1 as they took down 40th-ranked Mikelis Libietis and Jarryd Chaplin. With the doubles point all evened up, the 32nd-ranked tandem of Nathan Pasha and Garrett Brasseaux overcame 34th-ranked John Collins and Ed Jones 9-8 (7-4). Pasha and Brasseaux are currently riding a seven match winning streak, the longest on the team.
The Bulldogs carried the momentum into singles by winning the first set in all six matches. Marco Nunez extended Georgia's lead to 2-0 when he defeated the Volunteer's Collins 6-4, 6-1 at No. 6. Brasseaux was next to strike when he defeated Ed Jones at No. 5 by a score of 7-6(7-3), 6-4. That win made the score 3-0 in favor of Georgia. Tennessee continued to fight, and claimed its first point when 13th-ranked Libietis overcame 42nd-ranked Pasha 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 at No. 1. With Georgia up 3-1, 95th-ranked Wagland gutted out a 7-6(10-8), 6-4 win against 33rd-ranked Reese. Wagland's match clinching victory was his third on the year. The previous two were against VCU and ETSU.
With the outcome of the match decided, the other two matches were left unfinished. At No. 3, 72nd-ranked Pieters trailed 76th-ranked Fickey 3-6, 6-4, 5-0. At No. 4 where Smith led Chaplin 7-6(7-3), 6-5.
Georgia improves to 48-23 versus Tennessee all-time.
Georgia returns to action on Monday March 4th at 2:30 when they take on William & Mary. The match will be played at the Dan Magill Tennis complex and admission is free.

text: Let $Q$ be a 7-dimensional smooth manifold endowed with $G_2$-structure $\varphi$. It is easy to see that $Q \times \mathbb R$ admits an almost symplectic structure $\omega$ such that reduction of $\omega$ on $Q$ is equal to contraction of $\varphi$ by $Y$, for some vector field $Y$ on $Q$. By Gromov's Theorem , $Q \times \mathbb R$ admits a symplectic structure. Can we replace "almost symplectic structure" by " symplectic structure" in above statement?

Fix bug for iPod touch
Customer Reviews
I love the app but when you click on the knee section. The front is labeled correct saying medial meniscus but when you spin it around it shows the medial meniscus as the lateral meniscus. Other then that app is fantastic and has helped me tremendously in my field of study.
Really like it
If you are in school like me and need to learn your bones and their functions this is a great app. My only complaint is that i cant hear any sound from the video or anything. But i love how it shows the bones individually and labels them too!!
Don't Waste Your Money!
From: A poor college kid
To: The developers of this app
For the price, I expected way better, for instance, the pictures and diagrams are in HORRIBLE resolution, next, the (barely) 3D model is poorly designed to interact with. There are very few things you can do with this app, I'm very disappointed with the developers of this app. Well.....there goes my breakfast money

Sleeping Tips for Campers
What Sleeping Gear Should You Bring?
Bring a sleeping bag with a temperature rating appropriate for your destination. For tips on doing so, read the REI Expert Advice "how to choose" articles, Sleeping Bags for Camping or Sleeping Bags for Backpacking.
What's the difference between these bag types? Bags designed for camping are typically cut wider, offering more roll-around room (good for comfort) but less efficiency for retaining body heat (not so good on extra-chilly nights).
Shop REI's selection of sleeping bags.
Sleeping Platform
Find a style that meets your comfort needs. Your choices:
Self-inflating foam pads: These compressible mattresses feature spongy foam housed within a waterproof nylon shell. A twist valve is located at one end. When opened, air rushes in to fill the vacuum and the foam expands. You may need to blow into the valve a few times to get the pad's cushioning to a desired level. Backpackers typically choose pads that are 1" to 2" thick (and sometimes 2.5"); pads 3" and thicker are targeted at car campers. Fitted sheets are available for some pads.
- Pros: Thinner backpacking pads are lightweight and pack down fairly small; thicker camping pads offer extra comfort. Both are good insulators.
- Cons: Pads 2.5" and up are too weighty and bulky for most backpackers.
Shop REI's selection of self-inflating foam pads.
Air pads: Air, not foam, provides the cushioning here. A model such as the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir requires 2 dozen or so lung blasts to fill it, which is the tradeoff for the NeoAir's under-1-pound weight. Air pads from Big Agnes and Exped offer greater insulation value but add a little extra weight.
- Pros: Low weight, above-average cushioning.
- Cons: You need to blow for more than a minute to inflate them. Not much insulation value.
Shop REI's selection of air pads.
Foam pads: These basic pads use dense, durable foam known as closed-cell foam. They're popular among backpackers for their low weight. Closed-cell foam pads are particularly effective when sleeping on cold, frozen or snow-covered ground, or when sleeping on rough surfaces that could puncture an inflatable pad.
- Pros: Light, inexpensive and nearly indestructible. They're good insulators, too, often used in tandem with an open-cell foam pad during winter camping. (Put the closed-cell foam pad next to the snow.)
- Cons: Bulky; modest cushioning, which is too Spartan for some sleepers.
Shop REI's selection of foam pads.
Air mattresses: A deluxe way to sleep when camping in a campground. Just don't forget the foot pump (or, with some models, an electric pump) or you may exhaust yourself trying to inflate it with your lungs.
- Pros: Resembles home mattresses. Kids think they're fun and familiar, and they're comfortable in a bouncy kind of way.
- Cons: Bulky and heavy; requires diligent effort to inflate. Not a good insulator when temperatures dip.
Shop REI's selection of air mattresses.
Cots: For use in campgrounds, on supported bike rides and at research camps or similar long-term use. They keep you a comfortable distance from cold or rocky ground. Many sleepers also toss a pad on top to boost cushioning or insulation.
- Pros: Off-the-ground sleeping platform is reassuring to first-time campers. Especially appealing to people with bad backs.
- Cons: Bulky; requires some setup time; can fill up a tent's interior.
Shop REI's selection of cots.
Hammocks: An acquired taste, but hammock enthusiasts love them. On cool nights, some sleepers toss in a pad as an insulation buffer. Some ultralight backpackers pair hammocks with tarps and ditch the tent.
- Pros: Comfortable, light, fun.
- Cons: Finding the ideal setup spot can be a challenge.
Shop REI's selection of hammocks.
Other Sleeping Aids
- Pillows: Bring one from home or use a scaled-down camp pillow or a pillowcase and stuff it with some clothing.
- Eyeshades: Nice for sleeping in.
- Earplugs: They block out curious noises and can make urbanites more comfortable at night.
- Neck roll: It can come in handy at nap time.
- Light source (headlamp, flashlight or lantern): Some LED lanterns weigh in at less than 5 ounces.
Shop REI's selection of pillows, travel sleep accessories, headlamps, flashlights and lanterns.
Adapting to Sleeping Outdoors
Tent location. Make sure your tent floor is sitting on a flat, obstacle-free, durable surface. Avoid placing it atop back-gouging roots, rocks or pine cones.
Mentally prepare for new surroundings. Embrace the experience. Yes, you have voluntarily abandoned your comfortable bed in order to immerse yourself in the outdoors. The bathroom is no longer 8 paces from your bedside; it's now 6 sites down the campground loop. Be OK with that. The joy of the experience will override any temporary inconveniences.
Physically adapt. Two things often take urbanites by surprise on the first night of a camping trip: 1) How cool temperatures get after sundown, and 2) how dark the night sky is. So be prepared: Keep insulating clothing layers and a headlamp and/or flashlight handy. Hang an LED lantern inside your tent as soon as you set it up.
Appreciate the uniqueness of the moment. Most of us live tethered to modern conveniences. When camping, certainly do all you can to ensure your comfort, but also realize that for a few nights you have the opportunity to experience the world around you from a new, outdoor perspective. Look at the stars. Listen to the quietness. Relax.
Before Bed
Store all food and scented toiletries securely and outside of your tent. Food-storage rules vary from park to park. Learn what they are and abide by them. Take care not to be sloppy with food. Collect any that spills and place it in approved receptacles. Nothing scented goes inside your tent. Do not spit out toothpaste near your camp (or expect visitors if you do). If camping where bears are active, do not sleep in clothes that may have accumulated food odors.
Repeat familiar routines. If brushing your teeth is your final act before turning in each night at home, do the same in camp. It will trigger a feeling of normalcy to your otherwise new surroundings.
Wear dry clothing. Change out of any damp or sweaty clothes and hang them from a branch or clothesline overnight. A good sleepwear choice while camping is long underwear, top and bottoms, plus clean socks. They feel cozy and warm, and they minimize the transfer of body oils to your bag.
Tip: Another way to keep your bag clean—insert a sleeping bag liner. They're nice to have if you're too tired to clean up completely.
Shop REI's selection of men's underwear, women's underwear, kids' thermal underwear and sleeping bag liners.
Avoid overdressing before you hop into your bag. Wearing bulky clothing inside a bag can actually reduce the bag's ability to efficiently trap body heat. Instead, drape items such as a jacket on the outside top of your bag for an extra layer of insulation.
Tip: Bring an old comforter from home to serve as an extra layer. A familiar bedding item from home is often reassuring to children.
Eat something (a meal or light snack) before bed. On cool nights, the process of digestion warms you internally. It's your body, not your sleeping bag, which generates the heat you need to sleep comfortably.
Do a little light exercise before bed to get your blood stirring. Try 5 or 10 sit-ups inside your bag. Just don't exercise to the point where you get sweaty or become wide awake.
Drink some water. Don't overdo it, for obvious reasons, but keeping yourself hydrated aids blood circulation and diminishes the possibility of headaches at higher altitudes.
Use your sleeping bag hood or wear a beanie/stocking cap. With your entire body zipped inside a bag, your head and face are the body surface areas where heat can radiate away.
Avoid listening to night sounds too closely, particularly if you're new to the outdoors and are easily spooked. The night woods are full of strange sounds that can seem threatening but are not really. Small critters can make a moose-size racket. Animals occasionally wander into campsites after sunset to search for food. Relax; these animals are more apprehensive of you than you are of them.
Tip: If night sounds really unnerve you, try camping near moving water. Rushing water's "white noise" helps mask ambient sounds.
Prepare for late-night restroom trips. Place a light source and a pair of sandals or camp shoes near your tent door before you bunk down. If you tend to get thirsty at night, keep a supply of water nearby. Put a patch of carpet or artificial grass outside the tent door to serve as a sandal- or foot-cleaning doormat.
Air out your bag in the morning, if time permits. This removes any moisture that might have accumulated inside overnight.
Temperature Extremes
On warm, balmy nights, you may not even zip up your sleeping bag. Often campers will just tuck their feet into the bag's footbox and drape the bag over them. If you expect warm nights, bring a sheet and/or a light blanket from home. It might be all you need.
In cold weather, here's a good list of pointers, including some tips addressed earlier in this article:
- Wear clean long underwear and socks.
- Wear a hat.
- Cinch the hood around your head, even if you're wearing a cap. On below-freezing nights, you may only leave an opening large enough for your nose and mouth.
- Add a closed-cell foam pad (maybe 2) beneath your regular sleeping pad.
- Stuff dry clothing inside your bag to fill empty spaces, reducing the area your body must heat.
- Add warm water to a water bottle and sleep with it close to the core of your body (since your core is your body's chief heat-generating zone).
- Drink a warm, nonalcoholic beverage before hopping in the sack. (Alcohol can spur heat loss by dilating the blood vessels near the skin surface, so avoid it.) A warm drink delivers psychological as well as physical benefits.
- Do a little exercise before finally plunking down and nodding off.

Due to ac loss in superconducting materials, high cryogenic costs are inevitable when superconducting devices are operated in ac power networks. Thus, dc electric power networks would be regarded as a better choice for the operation of superconducting devices. In order to develop superconducting devices for a dc network, the dc insulation characteristics, which are much different from the ac insulation characteristics, should be clarified. In this paper, in order to investigate the dc insulation characteristics of polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP), which is generally used for dc superconducting cable, a dc breakdown test and a dc electric field analysis were performed. For the dc breakdown test, specimens with three layers of PPLP with one butt gap were fabricated. In order to reveal the breakdown characteristic of PPLP, a dc electric fields calculation in the media at the moment of breakdown was performed considering capacitive and resistive field distributions. Consequently, the capacitive electric field and resistive electric field distributions were determined using dc field analysis techniques and it was found that the butt gap edge is affected enough by the high field strength to cause the breakdown. Furthermore, it was deduced that the butt gap edge acted as a triple-junction point which causes the breakdown.

I am using both wp_update_user() and update_user_meta() and I want to be able to check for an error, and if one occurs, output it to the user. Is this possible using something like $result = wp_update_user()? I don't want an integer though I want to read the text of the error.
Not really. Deep down such functions are essentially writes to database. So either database write fails (which doesn't produce meaningful message to return) or data is somehow wrong and function just returns
Your best bet is probably to control data user inputs, not result of WP trying to process that data.

TOMBALL (August 31, 2014) Nearly 100 collie dogs were seized from a suburban Houston home as part of a bankruptcy case.
U.S. District Judge David Jones signed an order Friday allowing Houston Collie Rescue to remove the dogs from the home of optometrist Elaine Kmiec, who, the order says, failed in her duties as a debtor.
Houston Collie Rescue President Vickey Willard says she expected to remove 35 dogs, but instead, her team found 93.
She says it took about 8 hours to get all the dogs out of the Tomball home.
The dogs were found with ear infections, flea bites, mange, and the smell of urine on their coats.
Willard says dozens of dogs were seized from Kmiec's property in 2006 in 2007, as well.

Yeah, that UN can be such a pain, especially when it sends an American law professor to Afghanistan, and he has the gall to point out human rights abuses by the US military against Afghan detainees. But that's OK, as the global hegemon, we can just order the UN to get rid of this pesky interloper, right?
- said...
Finally, a question that I -- as an incoming 1l (at Columbia) -- feel qualified to answer! I don't think that The Interpreter was a particularly good movie. The political side of the movie was not the type of thing that would make anyone think. The dialogue was laborious; it felt like Sean Penn decided that he had to say everything twice as slow as he normally does. Finally, the plot was so-so. The twists were predictable and un-exciting.
If the movie was meant as some sort of free advertisement for the U.N., I don't think it did a particularly good job. Movies like Top Gun, the Bourne Identity, or the Spy Game usually do a better job of portraying their government protagonists as doing romantic and exciting work. A Few Good Men even made a Naval JAG lieutenant – a job that the average joe probably would not have looked twice at when the movie came out (this was before JAG, the TV show) – look like he was the savior of democracy. By contrast, The Interpreter somehow manages to portray the UN as a boring series of staid speeches in dimly-lit, drably furnished corridors. Of course, that's probably an accurate depiction of the UN's day-to-day duties, but I don't think it would make people jump out of their seats to become UN interpreters.
Honestly, if conservative anti-UN types are worried that The Interpreter will somehow foil their political agenda regarding the place of this body in international affairs, this seems an awful lot like jousting mightily against windmills to me.

As someone who worked at the UN last summer, I agree with Jeff V. that the movie itself is not terribly exciting: poor dialogue and predictable plot. My biggest gripe with the film, however, is the decision to use a black African country (albeit a fictional one) as the scene of a genocide. As somebody I was watching the movie with pointed out, "At least it made it easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys." In the end, the movie is a rallying cry for the ICC, but almost shows the most perverse side to international criminal law: people in this made-up country are being killed daily and we're going to serve the leader with a piece of paper indictment?
There were some nice sound bites by Nicole Kidman concerning her feelings for the UN that probably only those of us who have been truly smitten by the "UN bug" will fall for. But the best part, and the reason I went to see the movie at all, were the inside shots of the UN. Now I know what the Delegate's Lounge looks like.

In part 1 of this two-part series on photosensors, I described the major characteristics of photosensors and ended with a problem: suppose we have a classroom in which we want to begin dimming the row of fluorescent lighting fixtures adjacent to a series of windows when daylight levels reach 150 percent of design light levels. What kind of photosensor will we need? READ MORE

Daylight harvesting's value proposition is fairly simple: as daylight levels increase in a space, electric lighting levels can be automatically reduced to maintain a target task lighting level and save energy. Because this system is automated, a device is needed to tell a controller that there is a high enough light level to warrant reduction of electric lighting. READ MORE

New York City's dense urban landscape is populated with more than a million buildings that annually consume $15 billion in energy and generate 75 percent of the city's carbon emissions.

Amalgam technology, fairly common among plug-in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), is now available in linear T5HO, T5VHO and T8VHO fluorescent lamps, making fluorescent lighting competitive in many high-intensity discharge (HID) applications. Fluorescent lamps produce visible light through a gaseous discharge process called fluorescence. READ MORE

In a perfect world, a lighting manufacturer would respond to interest in one of their products by assuming the cost of installing samples in an exact mockup of the actual space being designed. Then, the manufacturer would hire people to work there for a while and conduct a postoccupancy survey on their satisfaction with the lighting. READ MORE

Tight credit and weak demand for new facilities pushed private nonresidential spending into a deep slide in 2009, while public construction got a boost from federal stimulus money.

Garth Ennis. Steve Dillon. The Punisher. Do I really need to say anything else? No, really, do I? If those three elements get you excited, youâll love âPunisher: War Zoneâ #1. If they donât, you probably wonât. Itâs as simple as that. Myself, Iâve been waiting for this with anticipation ever since it was announced all those months ago and it doesnât disappoint.
This is Ennis doing the Punisher the way he began with Dillon for Marvel Knights, not the MAX style. Those two styles are rather different, mostly in the tone. Where the MAX book was serious with a few moments of comedy here and there, the Marvel Knights approach is comedy with a few moments of seriousness thrown in.
âWar Zoneâ or, as the story itself is titled, âThe Resurrection of Ma Gnucci,â is a pretty direct sequel to the âWelcome Back, Frankâ story that began Ennisâ long run on the character. Several years ago, the Punisher single-handedly wiped out the entire Gnucci mob family, culminating with a limbless Ma Gnucci getting kicked back into her burning house by the Punisher. Seemed like the end of that crime family, but, no, word has it that thereâs an Italian branch of the family and itâs making a move on various East Coast operations. So, the Punisher gets to deal with that.
Like his previous Punisher work with Dillon, Ennis is just having a laugh here. One of the best bits involves a page that begins with: âWar Journal Entry #1: God how I hate poor people.â We learn that the son of snobbish vigilante the Elite is taking up his fatherâs quest to rid the world of âundesirableâ people and plans to begin with the man who killed his father: the Punisher.
There are other callbacks to âWelcome Back, Frankâ with the return of Molly Von Richtoffen and another zoo scene that tops the first one in both hilarity and cringe-inducing events.
The reunion of Ennis and Dillon is a big reason to pick up this book as these two long-time collaborators fall back into their old ways with nary a bump. These two guys work so well together that itâs unbelievable. Most of the issue relies on dialogue, but Dillon continues to have the amazing ability to not just make talking head scenes work, he makes you forget youâre reading a talking head scene. He also draws an ostrich burping incredibly well.
As I said at the beginning, if you know and like the work of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, particularly their âPunisherâ stuff, this is for you. If not, the violence and zoo scene may do you in. But, me, Iâm just looking forward to next weekâs issue.
(Get your first look of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillonâs return to the Punisher in CBRâs preview of this issue!)

Enabled and not showing anywhere at all. Wastage of time..
well, apart from the "responsive SSS" setting page, which gives only the option to show or no show, there is no way to add the links to facebook, twitter, etc...
the icons show nowhere on the site, and the code is too obfuscated to find fast enough the handles for the links and the reason it doesn't show...
too bad, the concept looks cool.
I finally found a social sharing plugin that works. I've tweaked my site a lot, so it hides titles, comments, descriptions, posts, widgets, etc. I tried 4 or 5 other plugins to get my images shareable, but this one was the only one to work! Rock on dev!
Enabled and not showing anywhere at all.
Really nice work, its a grat plugin, very useful and super easy to setup.
Great work.
I really like this plugin. On bigger screens the social buttons float on the left side but on small screens (like on mobile phones) they are added no top of the posts.
Easy to use...
This is a really simple plugin to use. Just install and it floats making itself more visible.

He grabs your attention and hold you in that one instant of happenstance which everyone else missed, with genuine intelligence and his camera strapped to his chest.
"Themes emerge after the photographs begin to accumulate", but sense of humour (fundamental) and people running are spread through his portfolio.
stalks the city with his Leica strapped high on his chest and takes photos as casually as most people blink"
-William Meyers, WALL STREET JOURNAL
See? No excuses!
Have a great day.
