Hey Danny,
I have used the recommended PHP function that you provided in Comment #2 and that works great for a standard desktop browser. My problem now is when a mobile browser is used, such as that on an iPhone, the adsense ad is not resized. My assumption would be that I would also need to have a mobile version of the advertisement, but I am not sure how to appropriately switch between the two dependent on the user-agent.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there, I'd say check back with google to see if the add has a set width/height in pixels or if there's a code for a responsive version. Usually responsive sizes are done in percentages not set figures such as 300px etc.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 05:17 PM
Google does not provide a responsive advertisement, everything must be taken care of through JS and CSS apparently. Here is something that I found during a search...
Posted 04 December 2012 - 10:18 PM
Your ad (as with all non-mobile Google Adsense) is designed for a static sized view. You'll note their code includes 728 and 90, which are pixel sizes. Those ads will likely not resize in Mobile View.
Go to Dashboard > PageLines > Site Options > Website Setup and check the box to Disable Mobile View. Your site will still be fully responsive, yet it will look exactly as it does in a non-mobile computer.

Hello. Where do I actually add the code for the hook? In my case, I want to place a google ad in pagelines_before_postloop, and want to add code like this to loop_start (or something like this. It's what I used in the previous version of the site with a completely different theme):

Posted 28 January 2013 - 12:01 AM
Thanks again! I didn't do a child theme yet - I added a line at the end of functions.php that calls child_functions.php. That way when I upgrade I just have to remember to add that line back in, but my changes won't get stepped on. I'll tackle child themes at some other point, but this buys me time while I get the site looking closer to the way I want.

Free Teen Heart Health Check
Dear Families,
We want to make you aware of a screening program developed by Beaumont Hospital for students involved in vigorous activities and organized sports. Our Hurley Teen Health Check Student Heart Screening Program combines a simple health history and noninvasive screening to look for signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This is a serious heart condition that is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes.
HCM affects approximately one in 500 people, and does not usually have any symptoms. The stress on the heart during strenuous activities puts our students at higher risk for sudden death.
Along with the Thomas Smith Memorial Foundation, Hurley Medical Center is offering this screening FREE OF CHARGE to students on Saturday, November 17, 2012 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The event will be held at Flushing Middle School, 8100 W. Carpenter Road, Flushing, MI 48433.
You must pre-register to participate. Call 810.262.9260 and press option #1 to register (forms available below).
Students will undergo a quick screening that will include a review of the health history questionnaire that you will need to complete at home. They will have their blood pressure checked and an electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed. A cardiologist will evaluate each student. The doctor will listen to the student's heart and may choose to take a quick echocardiogram, a noninvasive picture of the heart.
To participate in the Hurley Teen Health Check Heart Screening Program you will need to complete the attached paperwork and return it with your child on the day of the screening. If forms are missing or incomplete, we will be unable to screen your child.
The Forms Are:
1. Completed Student/Family Health History questionnaire signed by both a parent and the student.
2. Consent to Treatment Form signed by a parent
3. Hospital's Photo/Video Consent
The data we collect may be used by researchers at Hurley Medical Center and Beaumont Hospital to add to the scientific knowledge of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes. The data will be reported anonymously. Student privacy and confidentiality will be maintained. Registration for the screening is required. Registration begins Monday, October 8, 2012. To register, please call 810-262-9260 and press option #1.

Children's Publications - Enlighten and Entertain Your Children
Today's world, almost everybody tries to think outside the box in every thing, from household items to gadgets as well as books. From time to time they are really well recognized for example trolls, beasts, witches, dwarves, sorcerer, centaurs, mermaids and so on, but sometimes the writer develop his own.
What People Are Saying
- Sleeping ugly is usually an incredible story for youngsters
- Boonie and River are characters little ones definitely will cherish certainly cat lovers
- A author asked about to create quite a few non-fiction books
- I'm thinking about and operating as an author
The Joys Of Choosing Common Children's Publications
Naturally society then gripes how the tale weren't right for small children, and thus attacks with books continue. They offer instantly varying amusement and fast paced game titles to maintain little ones robot-like entertained.
While a good many of such cultures, practices and values could possibly be lightly carressed upon in a children's story involving magic, they may not be commonly as fully engineered as they will be inside a story for adults or simply one composed for youths.I most certainly choose fiction better than non-fiction just for the fact that reality in books can be really mundane. As such Harry Potter has grown to become sought-after among the boys and girls that they impatiently wait for the upcoming issue. For starters, decide on a book that features photos of individuals as opposed to your son or daughter.
Educational Publications to Make Understanding Fun
I did so. A children's book of the month membership is the ideal way to promote a child's desire to read and learn new stuff. With personalized children's story books, your son or daughter will end up the star of the story and it would definitely encourage him to read more and have a passion for reading more.I'm exposed to the choices. Come up with a detailed research on popular trends. Favorite anecdotes and adventurous types of books excitel them considerably.
It is usually useful for you to definitely think of the drawings because you are crafting your story.
What Makes A Good Children's Ebook
Children story books are excellent to make young children slumber. They will discover their dream take the shape of a tale. Nowadays it feels like our world are loaded with much more electronics and gadgets than one can have ever thought. Custom made books are available for youngsters which range from birth up to pre-teen.picture story books http://bestchildren-storybooks.com/picture-story-books/

ORANGE - Perhaps Rim of the World girls volleyball coach Linda Pattison will schedule all future matches at 9 a.m.
It's more likely she won't but it certainly worked for the top-seeded Scots on Saturday as Rim swept its way to a 25-17, 25-21, 25-20 victory over second-seeded Los Angeles Windward in the CIF-SS Division 3AA championship at Santiago Canyon College.
It was the eighth CIF-SS title in the history of the Rim program, the first since 2005, and came on the heels of back-to-back losses in championship matches in the last two years. The Scots are now 8-5 all-time in CIF-SS finals.
"It means so much more after losing the last two years," Rim senior setter Hailey Jones said.
"I think the last two years helped us because we know what losing was like," senior outside hitter Raena Borcuk said.
For Rim coach Linda Pattison, the win went beyond losing the last two years.
"This means a lot to me because my dad (Chuck Tipton) has been very sick and he couldn't be here today," she said. "He's been a big supporter."
Rim was swept in the 3A finals the last two years and got off to a quick start against the younger and noticeably more nervous Wildcats.
"We've been starting off slow and then we got going in the second set," said Windward sophomore middle blocker Christina Cornelius, who led the team with 13 kills.
Rim wasn't even really challenged in the first set as they jumped out to a 20-10 lead and rolled to victory.
The second and third sets were different stories, however. The Wildcats led 18-16 and 21-19 before the Scots rallied and scored the final six points of the match.
"I told them, `We need a block to get us going,' " Pattison said.
The Scots got it. Rim had taken a 22-21 lead, but a block by 5-foot-6 setter Hailey Jones and 5-10 Lauren Davis was a huge lift en route to taking a 2-0 lead in sets. It was the only block of the match for Rim.
Windward had difficulty adjusting to Jones' quick-setting style.
"I thought their setter kept us out of our rhythm," Windward coach Michelle McGuire said. "We prepared for it, but it was difficult."
Again in the third set Rim trailed, the last time at 14-11. The Scots rallied and took a 20-17 lead, and after Windward made it 20-19 Rim reeled off four consecutive points en route to the CIF-SS title.
Borcuk led Rim with 13 kills, including eight in the second set, while junior Alyssa Ybanez had six of her nine kills in the first set and had two aces. Junior Haley Floen and senior Oksana Ortega had six kills apiece.
Ortega was especially efficient. She had no hitting errors in 10 attempts for a .600 hitting percentage. Jones had 34 assists and nine digs while Hannah Jones had 14 digs.
For this group of players, they can be a bigger part of the legacy of Rim volleyball.
"(Friday) we did a walk-around of the gym and the trophy cases," Pattison said. "I put a lot of pressure on them."
"It (winning CIF) means a lot to us, to be a part of the legacy of the school," Hailey Jones said.

Most of all, Allison-Ottey said, the aging parent needs to be part of the decision-making process. "The elderly still want to have a sense of independence," she said. "It is still their lives." It's important for adult children to ask their parents what they want — particularly in terms of whether they will want to stay in their own home, whether they want help around the house, or whether they will want to live in a nursing home when conditions require it — while they are still able to give insight. When adult children are not sure what their parents want, they tend to make a lot of decisions for them later on, which can result in a significant amount of guilt.
"It is very difficult to see your parent or your loved one who was strong, vibrant, and healthy to all the sudden be weak, ill, or dependent," Allison-Ottey said. "I do suggest that families get support. Understand that you are not superman or superwoman. Understand the limitations for your family — financial limitations, social limitations, and the amount of time you can devote to care."

-- kids have the skills necessary for college.
And the workforce.
Joining us now John Ericsson president of ACT's education division.
John I have an eight year old entering third grade at home and a ticker fifteen minutes to figure out what she wanted for breakfast this morning but.
And so we're going to determine what this town is gonna do for the rest of her life somehow.
Well let me actually put that into a little context there's a large skills gap that we all recognize between.
OK twelve education is preparing students in what.
It's expected for colleges and four with the workplace.
A problem with that is there's a lot of testing going on in most of it is hap hazard scattered not connected.
And for parents for students for teachers.
Doesn't make much sense so what we're doing is putting together -- next generation system that looks at the whole student.
And should result in -- -- -- readiness for everywhere we testing for strengths and weaknesses and -- -- not necessarily testing to say hey.
She's gonna end up as a funeral director for the rest of her -- absolutely not went well we're about here is exploring options.
How -- helping students set goals.
Looking at where their skills are and where they need to improve their skills and and tying that to instructions what's really a teacher friendly and it's a student improvement is it lake and the Myers Briggs personality tests isn't that something maybe they should be -- Well that's a personality test what we're about his actual achievement so we're looking at teachable -- -- skills.

Ever since you went back to school after winter break, things have been very, very disturbing. A monster has taken up residence in your room, one that won't leave no matter what you do.
Of course, no one believes that this monster, this Bad Man, lives outside your window, in your closet, under your bed. Everyone says he's not real, that it's just your imagination.

So many of you disparage a well rounded college education. Why? Most people with a degree are stable and comfortable in their daily activities, lives. Married, kids, home, civic and volunteer duties. Unfortunately, Congress and its "big business" mindset of an uncontrolled free market are destroying the middle class. Those in poverty cannot climb out of that hole because of substandard wages. Eight bucks an hour by Walmart? Retail and convenience stores about ten an hour? Yeah, that will move American workers forward!
Yeas, and limited to 39 hours so they cannot qualify for benefits... except for welfare, medicaid and social security.
But they are working!

Combining top-notch and uncompromising quality with an affordable price, the Beckman Coulter Airfuge Ultracentrifuges, Beckman Coulter Airfuge Accessories Digital Speed Readout, 50/60Hz 347592/ BK347592 can fulfill your laboratory needs while still offering a great value for the money.
Product Category Description:
This compact ultracentrifuge is a versatile and convenient benchtop unit. A variety of rotors make the Airfuge ideal for applications such as receptor-binding studies, lipoprotein assays, chylomicron studies, sample preparation for electron microscopy, and clarification of lipemic samples.
The Airfuge is air turbine-driven and delivers results in a fraction of the time of larger units. The combination of high g-force and short path length results in remarkably short run times to produce results. An optional digital speed readout accessory is available for advanced speed readout. Runs can be timed from 0–300 minutes in 5 minute increments; a HOLD button can be used for longer runs.
The speed is air-pressure regulated and braking is first achieved by coasting, then friction braking by engagement of the brake pin. The rotor operates at a temperature a few degrees above ambient.
Ordering Information: Supplied with a manufacturer's one-year instrument and rotor warranty. Complete with connecting hose and air filter. Rotors sold separately (see BK347593 series).


text: I agree, Scott. I don't think Cooke is the right artist for Jack, either. His style seems more in line with Parker; maybe because his style is kind of old-fashioned (at least the style he uses on the Parker books) and that fits the Parker books he's adapted since they were originally published in the early 60's.

Not gonna lie...I'd eat one just to say that I ate one.

34 Comments:
second row from top, first from left and thrid from right... creepy oO
I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
Seriously ... NSFW? NEWSFLASH: THESE ARE CUPCAKES, NOT VAGINAS. These are cupcakes decorated in frosting, that slightly resemble vaginas. The real thing has more hair, is not edible, and is not always that sweet. If you're childish enough to think cupcakes are NSFW, then you're not old enough to think these are vaginas.
Are you old enough to have a job where looking at this would raise suspicion?
Well, to be fair, if he had a real job he wouldn't be on this site in the first place.
HEY! I have an excellent night job at the gay strip club that pays well. It just so happens that tonight is my day off.
Ya dude chill. Think of it this way--you do not give these cupcakes to children.
In spain or mexico (Can't remember which) They have a parade for the vagina! With people dressed in vag costumes and everything. Children attend this. Other countries have similar things. American children are the only ones that would freak out if you gave them these. Our children are truly weak O.o
I dunno... I know enough German kids who would freak out, too.
Thats hard to believe :P My mom told me how germany is about sex from her days in the military. One or more their airports has a huge statue of a penis out in the open in front of a sex toy shop :P I think it was in frankfort. Not sure though.
Well yeah, and there are tons of boobs/nipples on tv and in commercials. But a vagina... is still slightly different. And I was thinking of kids and teenagers being confronted with these cupcakes haha.
:P It's no real big deal :P It's just sad that our kids are shielded from the real world. Sets them up for shock and bad choices O.o
I agree cuz it could go both ways I wouldnt want to give a kid some treat that resembled a dick that probobly would be worse even
i dont understand why people get all angry when something isnt as inappropriate enough as the expected.. better safe than sorry. if you want something more 'daring' look somewhere else. simple as that.
Oh hey there, you seem to have forgotten how the internets work. BE NICE OR ALL YOUR UPVOTES ARE BELONG TO US.
That's pretty sick, -32 points? Congrats: I think that's a record.
Minky...turn your NSFW off if it bothers you that much.
Seriously, like half of his comments are complaining about nsfw stuff.
sure i can. this isnt boobieslibrary.com. and im a female, so i dont empathize with his frustrations.
so was i. i have a weird sense of humor. no hard feelings, yes?
i'd eat one, second row from the top: 2nd from the right and bottom row, 3rd from the right
I'm kind of a bit... "okaaaaaay, moving on..."
What's with these interracial vaginas? And that one with a tampon string? No.. noo.. Girl on period = Noooo eating. I like the far left corner though.. I can image that one being a blonde

It's the time of the year where you give thanks for what you have. Altough it is not a tradition in our country, some families in Costa Rica celebrate Thanksgiving and enjoy together a special meal. Turkey is available at many restaurants and some Tamarindo restaurants offer Thanksgiving meal deals.
In years past, Pasatiempo had a big celebration but now that has been spread out. This year Doña Lee's, Carolina's, La Laguna and the Diria Hotel hosted celebrations.
This year, the shops in Costa Rica decided to have discounts and special offers, so Costa Ricans took advantage of the sales to buy presents for Christmas. Coastal Property Management hopes you had a nice Thanksgiving!

Auckland is as big, cosmopolitan, and hedonistic as any New Zealand city gets. History and future combine in this sprawling place, where you can walk above the harbor along the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sky Tower looms above a sea of skyscrapers. But while the sights are intriguing, it's the easy-going spirit of the Aucklanders and their impressive backyard that will really captivate you. Lush vineyards, sugar-white beaches, and island retreats are all just a hop away from the inner city bustle.
Things to Do
The grand, neoclassical Auckland Museum is a cavernous chest of Maori taonga (treasures); time your visit to catch tattooed Maori sticking their tongues out in the high-energy haka (war dance). Few big international cities are as outdoorsy as Auckland -- locals flash past on rollerblades in Cornwall Park or at Mission Bay, kayak and sail on Waitemata Harbour, and kick back on Waiheke Island -- join in the fun. Ride the glass elevator to the top of the space-age Sky Tower for giddying sunset views of the Auckland skyline.
Auckland mixes shopping with sightseeing. You can tour Waiheke Island's gently sloping vineyards for spicy Syrahs and crisp Chardonnays or browse stores in seaside Devonport's historic streets. High Street is decidedly upmarket and harbors big-name designers; and you can browse other fashion-conscious boutiques of Parnell and Ponsonby. Hit colonial-era Queen Street for department stores and Newmarket's classy Nuffield and Teed Streets for chic boutique shopping. Weekend is market time: Head for Pacific-flavored Otara Market, Parnell's La Cigale French Market, or Britomart's City Farmers' Market.
Nightlife & Entertainment
Bar-lined Viaduct Harbour is the place to watch Auckland strut its early-evening stuff. Sip frozen vodka with a too-cool crowd in the ice-carved Minus 5 Bar. Linger over champagne in one of the classy Britomart bars, or dance to the latest beats on Ponsonby Road.Karangahape Road's edgier nightlife kicks off around midnight in pumping bars, strip clubs, and live-music venues. For a more cultured evening, catch the revered New Zealand Symphony Orchestra at the Auckland Town Hall.
Hotels & Restaurants
Foodies can eat their way around the world in Auckland. Savor Pacific Rim cuisine with the in-crowd at one of Viaduct Harbour's see-and-be-seen restaurants. Dine alfresco on Spanish tapas or fresh fish at one of Mission Bay's beachfront cafes and bars. Or head to fashionable Ponsonby Road for relaxed fine dining.
Find flights to Auckland with American Airlines and discover firsthand the legendary natural beauty of New Zealand. Located on the North Island between two harbors, Auckland is geographically diverse. The area features volcanoes, rainforests, beaches and more ways to appreciate the great outdoors. Plan your trip here with our list of the best of things to do in Auckland.
Start your exploration with a trip to the rainforest, one of our favorite activities in Auckland. Located in the Waitakere Ranges, the Auckland rainforest is one of New Zealand's natural treasures. It's actually just outside the city, featuring over 150 miles of trails that let you explore at your own pace. You'll see gorgeous native trees, plants and flowers along with stunningly pretty waterfalls and beaches. It's no wonder this has been the setting for multiple movies and television shows.
If you'd like to stay in the city, don't worry. There are still plenty of things to do in Auckland that let you connect with nature. With many parks and reserves to choose from, you'll have no shortage of places where you can experience the great outdoors. One of our favorites is the Auckland Doman, located in the central part of the city. Situated on the site of a dormant volcano, it's quite spacious and features multiple trails that let you explore with a leisurely walk. It's also home to gardens of gorgeous plants both native to New Zealand and more exotic species, along with the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland Museum and tranquil duck ponds. This is a perfect spot to bring a picnic lunch!
Spending a day relaxing on a beach is another one of the most popular activities in Auckland. Generally located along the West Coast, these beaches offer a range of sand and trails. One of the best-known black sand beaches is Piha, and it's also known for its surfing and swimming. You can admire rugged cliffs and see the famous Lion Rock here. The Karekare is another one of the prettiest beaches, with seclusion being one of its most attractive assets. It's part of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park and offers simply breathtaking views.
New Zealand is a place of natural beauty that almost defies description -- like no other place on earth. It's somewhere you have to see for yourself, so fly to Auckland! Browse our flights and start planning your trip today.

Assimilation of the Counterculture
A Chasm of Misunderstanding.
Counter-culture was the youth culture of the 1960s, which continued to flourish in the 1970s. As the term implied, it was a culture that developed against the established culture. Young people rejected capitalism, competition, social conventions, and the work ethic of their parents. They embraced communitarianism, cooperation, toleration, and "doing your own thing." In contrast to the heterosexual monogamy of their parents, young people championed sexual experimentation; in place of the three-martini lunch, young people had marijuana picnics. For those embracing the counterculture, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll took precedence over hard work, sobriety, and suburbia. Un-counted numbers of adolescents left home or school in the early 1970s to enjoy the hippie life in Boston, New York's Greenwich Village, San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, or in rural communes. By the mid 1970s, how-ever, the countercultural energies of these centers were spent; the publicity and media attention on the counter-culture had nonetheless diffused aspects of it to every American town, city, and suburb. While Theodore Rozak, Charles Reich, and Herbert Marcuse argued that the counterculture was a form of philosophical romanticism, destined to alter radically the character of techno-logical capitalism, much of the counterculture was simply adolescent rebellion and indulgent mischievousness. As...

Back to Nature
New Age Environmentalism.
The back to the earth movement was one aspect of a New Age Movement that was predicated on the belief that people were able to attain an increased level of awareness by communing with nature. On 24 February 1977 the prestigious Rand Corporation described the shift of one million people from urban centers to rural areas in 1970-1975 as one of the most important trends in recent American history. Later events proved this claim was somewhat exaggerated, but this back-to-the-earth movement was no mere fad. The hippies celebrated nature, saw Native Americans as a spiritual people close to Mother Nature and God, and rejected the urban capitalist industrial society. Millions of hippies, and countless other would-be or weekend hippie wanna-bes, flocked to the countryside. Abandoned farms in New England or upstate New York became hippie communes, as did isolated sites in the Northwest and Southwest. Any inexpensive, remote rural locations (with convenient access to highways for trips to the city) could become a New Age farm.
Organic Food.
Many New Age farmers, however, were city or suburban college dropouts or liberal-arts graduates with no experience or training in agriculture. Most communal farms failed or became vacation retreats for affluent hippies, but some were successful. Educated newcomers read books, government...

Changing Sexual Morality
Sexual Revolution.
The so-called sexual revolution was considered by many to be the most shocking social trend in the 1970s. The sexual revolution, an outgrowth of the counterculture, cast aside traditional sexual restraints and began a decade of alternative eroticism, experimentation, and promiscuity. In part facilitated by the development of the birth-control pill and other contraceptives, Americans in the 1970s broke many sexual taboos. Interracial dating, open homosexuality, communal living, casual nudity, and dirty language all seemed to indicate a profound change in sexual behavior. Sexual activity among the young especially increased. Surveys during the 1970s reported that by age nineteen, four-fifths of all males and two-thirds of all females had had sex. Fashion designers promoted a new sensuality, producing miniskirts, hot pants, halter tops, and formfitting clothes designed to accentuate women's sexuality. Abandoning the censorious production code, Hollywood used nudity and eroticism to attract audiences (and, all too often, to cover shortcomings in screenplays). Hard-core pornography annually earned $4 billion. Graphic suggestion and profanity became a staple of rock music and popular novels. Public schools offered sexual education courses for adolescents. Most of these developments took place without the hand-wringing and guilt that had formerly characterized American attitudes...

The Energy Crisis
Energy Crisis.
The energy crisis came to public attention when an oil embargo by the Arab-controlled Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was imposed from October 1973 to March 1974 to protest U.S. military support of Israel. This was an important shift in world economics and politics, and it caused President Nixon to impose emergency energy-conservation measures. He ordered thermostats lowered to sixty-eight degrees, reduced air travel and highway speed limits, halted coal-to-oil conversions, licensed more nuclear power plants, relaxed environmental regulations, and approved daylight savings time in winter, Carpools and public transportation increased as gas stations closed or limited sales. Business and school schedules were shortened to conserve fuel.
The energy crisis pointed to Americans' lavish consumption of oil. With only 6 percent of the world population, the United States annually consumed 30 percent of the world's energy, increasingly in foreign oil. One result of the energy crisis was to draw attention to environmental issues and to alternative forms of energy (wind and solar power) and transportation (bicycles, walking, and public transportation). A more popular response to the gas shortage was to buy smaller, fuel-efficient automobiles such as the General Motors Vega as well as imported cars...
(The entire section is 495 words.)
Environmentalism was a new concern for the ecology of the human habitat, a social trend derived from the space program, the energy crisis, scientific warnings about pollution and a future shortage of natural resources, the counterculture's back-to-the-earth movement; and the new interests in health, nature, Asian religion, and human-potential movements.
Congress reacted to new public pressures, and in 1970 President Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act, which required government agencies to assess the environmental impact of public projects and to protect endangered species. Nixon also signed the Clean Air Act (1970), the Clean Water Act (1972), and the Pesticide Control Act (1972). The first Earth Day, on 22 April 1970, was a national teach-in on pollution and ecological problems on fifteen hundred college and ten thousand high-school campuses. But to many Americans the environmentalists seemed to be making the 1970s the doomsday decade....

Ethnic Consciousness
Ethnic pride reappeared in the 1970s in a wave of group consciousness and group identification among members of virtually all ethnic and racial groups. While ethnic and racial pride had always been quietly present in American life, even becoming an intellectual vogue in the early part of this century, since World War I ethnic consciousness had been subsumed to Anglo-Saxon culture and the melting-pot tradition. Stimulated by the success of the Black Power movement and by conservative political appeals to white ethnic voters, pride in one's own roots became popular.
Black Pride.
The second phase of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, focused on black nationalism and militance, spawned the soul culture of the 1970s. Rejecting white standards of beauty, art, and culture, blacks reclaimed their African heritage. The Afro or "natural" hairstyle rejected conking and other methods of making African-American hair straight like that of whites. Women adopted West African cotton print dresses and scarves, and dashikis were popular.
Media Visibility.
Network television responded to growing black pride with sitcoms such as Sanford and Son (1972-1977), Good Times (1974-1979), and The Jeffersons (1975-1984). Featuring African-Americans as the primary actors, these...

Family Life
Family life changed considerably in this decade. In 1960 married couples with children comprised 44.2 percent of American households; by 1980 this had dropped to 30.9 percent. The number of men living alone rose from 4.3 to 8.6 percent, and women living alone from 8.7 to 14 percent. The percentage of the population who never married also increased from 17.3 to 22.5. The median age at first marriage increased, as did the divorce rate, the number of births to unmarried mothers, and the number of adults in unmarried-couple households.
Although the explanations for the increase in divorce vary, many experts believe that because the courts accepted mental cruelty as grounds for divorce and tended to award custody of children to their mothers, divorce and remarriage became more acceptable to and for women. Greater employment opportunities and economic independence for women also contributed to the increased divorce rate. Also, no-fault divorce laws passed by...

Housing costs in the United States increased rapidly in the 1970s. The median-priced single-family home in 1970 cost $23,000 at an average interest rate of 8.5 percent, which represented 17 percent of the home owner's income. By 1979 the same house cost $55,700 at 10.9 percent interest, or 25 percent of the owner's in-come. This trend continued in the next decade, contributing to inflation, urban decay, and the problem of homelessness.
The affluent society of the 1960s, measured by a gross national product (GNP) increase of 4 percent annually, created new consumer demands for larger housing units. The average family home in the 1950s had 800 square feet, but this doubled by 1970, when 1.5 million new housing starts occurred. Related to this suburbanization of the United States was federal funding of highway construction, which grew from $429 million in 1950 to $4.6 billion in 1970.
Modern roads meant easy access to the cities for suburbanites, so adults could work in urban centers and live in bedroom communities. In this new world made by the automobile, three of four suburbanites drove to work each day. By 1970 about 40 percent of Americans lived in suburbs, and each census recorded a further decline in both urban and rural population. These new suburbs were...

Gay Liberation
Gay liberation was an important social-justice movement precipitated by the spirit of the 1960s. In June 1970 more than five thousand gay men and women marched in Greenwich Village to celebrate the first anniversary of the Stonewall riot, a violent clash between New York City police and gay people at the Stonewall bar on Christopher Street. Each year in a growing number of cities, the Stonewall marchers called for "Gay Power" and "Gay Liberation," and their politics and consciousness transformed a small reform movement into a grassroots gay liberation crusade. Hundreds of gay rights organizations in American cities demanded legal reform, access to public services, and an end to discrimination. By 1973 the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in response to lobbying by gay liberation groups who charged that psychiatry provided the underpinnings for many antihomosexual practices. The National Association of Social Workers, the American Sociological Association, other academic organizations, and several states took similar action by 1975.
The success of the gay liberation and gay rights movement prompted gay candidates to run for public office. In Massachusetts Gerry Studds, a gay Democrat from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was elected to Congress in 1973. Elaine Noble was...

The Me Decade
Me Decade.
The term me decade was coined by novelist Tom Wolfe in New York magazine in August 1976, describing the new American preoccupation with self-awareness and the collective retreat from history, community, and human reciprocity. The term seemed to de-scribe the age so aptly that it quickly became commonly associated with the 1970s. Compared to the 1960s, Americans in the 1970s were self-absorbed and passive. Americans turned from street theater to self-therapy, from political activism to psychological analysis. Everyone, it seemed, had an analyst, adviser, guru, genie, prophet, priest, or spirit. In the 1970s the only way many Americans could relate to one another was as members of a national therapy group.
Much of what the term me decade actually described was merely a stylistic change in American preoccupations. Whereas the 1960s had been preoccupied with questions of social and political justice, the 1970s were concerned with self-fulfillment and personal happiness. Unable to solve social problems, many self-absorbed Americans focused on personal fulfillment through health food, diets, hot tubs, and physical exercise. Specialized sportswear appeared in stores by the mid 1970s, and young Americans took up kung fu, aikido, yoga, tennis, jogging, massage, camping, hiking, skiing, and dancing...

New Right.
Neoconservatism was the most influential and distinctive social trend to emerge in the 1970s, drawing its leaders from former leftists and liberal Democrats disillusioned with the political changes and popular democracy of the 1960s. Neoconservatives, called by wits "liberals mugged by reality," railed against radicalism disguised as liberalism and defended elitism. Unlike earlier conservative Republican leaders, such as Sen. Barry M. Goldwater and President Richard M. Nixon, the most prominent neoconservatives tended to be prolific intellectual writers, such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Daniel Bell, Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, and William Bennett.
Moynihan was the most prominent of the neoconservative spokesmen and has served as Democratic U.S. senator from New York after 1977. Before entering politics he was a professor of government at Harvard University and made a national reputation as an adviser to Presidents John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, and Gerald Ford, as well as serving as ambassador to India (1973-1975) and ambassador to the United Nations (1975-1976).
Benign Neglect.
This liberal Democrat became a neoconservative hero when he wrote a memo in 1970 to President Nixon suggesting a period of "benign neglect" for race...

Clandestine Warfare.
Terrorism, which became a major international issue in the 1970s, refers to acts or threats of violence intended to intimidate political opponents or to publicize grievances. Modern terrorists use murder, bombing, airplane hijacking, kidnapping of hostages, and assassination to force the media, public opinion, and governments to address their demands. Groups most often accused of clandestine warfare or terrorism in the 1970s included the Irish Republican Army's Provisional Wing (IRA Provos), the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the Red Brigades in Italy, and the Baader-Meinhof gang in Germany.
Black September.
The most notorious terrorist action of the decade was when Black September, a PLO terrorist group, killed Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich in September 1972. Despite this widely condemned act, by 1974 the United Nations and several Arab states recognized the PLO as the government of the Palestinian people.
In 1977 Ugandan dictator Idi Amin held hostage two hundred Americans living in his country, leading President Carter to plan a military invasion. Amin was persuaded to release the hostages. Terrorism came to the United States two weeks later. A small group of Hanafi Muslims held 130 people at gunpoint in three Washington, D.C., buildings....

Women's Liberation
Cigarettes and Liberation.
One of the most popular advertising campaigns of the early 1970s was that of Virginia Slims cigarettes. The cigarette was thinner than most, but beyond that, hardly remarkable. The ad campaign, however, was an eye grabber. Magazines and bill-boards displayed slender, apparently self-assertive models in the latest fashions clutching the cigarette. The ad copy said, "You've Come a Long Way, Baby." Sometimes featuring an insert photograph of women in turn-of-the-century dress being punished for smoking by police, ministers, or other authority figures, the ad successfully tied cigarette smoking to the burgeoning women's liberation movement. Emphasizing the fact that at one time it was thought unladylike to smoke, the ad implied that to continue smoking Virginia Slims was an act of rebellion against women's traditional roles. Hugely successful as an ad campaign, the caption "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" also embodied for many the triumph of the women's movement and feminism in the 1970s.
New Roles.
The women's liberation movement shattered many established traditions of female subordination in American life and opened up a host of heretofore closed occupations to women. Feminism revolutionized women's and men's sense of their gender roles and transformed literary theory, art, and social analysis. Women's liberation...

Abzug, Bella 1920-
Flamboyant Advocate.
Bella Abzug made news in the 1970s as a vocal and flamboyant advocate for equal rights for women. Born in New York City in 1920, Bella Savitsky Abzug was the daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants. She attended Bronx public schools, and, after graduating from Hunter College and Columbia University Law School, she was admitted to the New York bar in 1947. In the 1950s and 1960s she was a leader in the anti-McCarthy and civil rights movement and served as a labor and American Civil Liberties Union lawyer.
Elevation to Congress.
By the mid 1960s she lobbied for nuclear disarmament and was a vigorous critic of the Vietnam War policies of Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. Her leadership roles in the women's liberation movement and in the new Democratic coalition led to her serving in Congress from 1971-1976.

Chavez, Cesar 1927-1993
United Farm Workers.
Cesar Chavez was the most effective labor leader of the 1970s, rising from poverty as a Hispanic migrant worker in Arizona to international celebrity as the leader of the United Farm Workers Union. In 1962 Chavez left his job as director of the Community Service Organization in California to establish the National Farm Workers Association. His success with Hispanic and Filipino farm pickers led to the formation of the United Farm Workers (UFW) in 1966.
Democratic Support.
Supported by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, United Auto Workers president Walter Reuther, and other prominent liberals, Chavez adroitly used church meetings, sit-ins, picket lines, consumer boycotts, and media propaganda to win a bitter strike against twenty-six California table-grape growers. The growers signed a contract with the UFW in July 1970, and in 1972 he negotiated a contract with the agribusiness giant Minute Maid in Florida.

Child, Julia 1912-
A Cultural Icon.
Julia Child taught millions of Americans to enjoy French cuisine with her popular cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961), and a second volume published in 1970. Her Public Broadcasting System (PBS) program, The French Chef, began in 1963 on Boston's WGBH station and was quickly syndicated and endlessly rebroadcast. By the mid 1970s Julia Child was a popular-culture icon, an imposing (over six feet tall) WASP Francophile matron bustling expertly around a studio kitchen. Her next book, From Julia Child's Kitchen (1975), reflected her celebrity status and witty persona. She won an Emmy in 1966 and many honors from culinary organizations at home and abroad.
Secret Agent Cook.
Julia Child was, however, a cook with a difference. Born in Pasadena and educated at Smith College, she was an Office of Strategic Services (OSS) agent, with assignments that took her all over the world. In Paris she was one of the first American women to attend the Cordon Bleu culinary school. Not content with a domestic life when she settled in Cambridge,...

Fiedler, Arthur 1894-1979
Classical Popularizer.
Arthur Fiedler was responsible to an extraordinary degree for the popularity of classical music by the 1970s. Born in Boston on 17 December 1894, he studied music with his father and at the Royal Academy of Music in Berlin. He was a pianist, second violinist, and violist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1915 to 1930. In 1924 he formed the Boston Sinfonietta, a chamber orchestra drawn from the Boston Symphony Orchestra staff. In 1929 he demonstrated his genius for broadening the classical-music audience by founding the Esplanade Concerts, a free summer concert series on the banks of the Charles River.
New Audiences.
By 1930 Fiedler was the conductor of the renamed Boston Pops Orchestra, staffed by Boston Symphony musicians, which attracted thousands of new listeners. Lovers of classical music resisted this popularization at first, but the charming (and sometimes crusty) Fiedler won over his critics. He had proved that new concert audiences for classical music could be won by public outreach.
Unparalleled Showmanship.
For fifty years the white-maned, mustachioed Boston Pops maestro led the world's most successful concert and recording orchestra. His un-paralleled showmanship and knack for public tastes brought Broadway,...

Hearst, Patricia 1953-
Patricia Hearst became an American celebrity, victim, and criminal in February 1974 when she was kidnapped by a leftist terrorist group, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). This obscure Oakland, California, revolutionary group held her for a $2-million ransom. Patricia was the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, the wealthy California newspaper publisher, but during months of harsh captivity she was allegedly brainwashed and renamed "Tania." To obtain her release, her parents donated millions of dollars worth of food to the poor, but the giveaway became a fiasco and did not result in her release.
Urban Guerrilla.
When Hearst was filmed in April 1974 assisting the SLA in a San Francisco bank robbery, the kidnapping victim was transformed in the public mind into another spoiled, rich college student whose unconventional lifestyle led to crime as a self-confessed "urban guerrilla" and "radical feminist." Patty was captured a year later during a police shoot-out. She was convicted of bank robbery in a sensational California trial in January 1976. On 24 September she was sent to prison for seven years, but President Carter commuted her sentence on 29 January 1979.

Hoffman, Abbie 1936-1989
Image Pop-Up
Abbie Hoffman and the Chicago SevenRevolutionary Hedonism.
Abbie Hoffman was a countercultural leader whose commitment to radical politics spanned the civil rights, antiwar, and environmentalist movements. When the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee expelled all whites in 1964, Hoffman moved into the hippie movement, seeing the counterculture as an arena for political change. He pioneered the idea that experimental use of sex, drugs, clothing, and communal living were revolutionary activities.
Street Theater.
Hoffman, who was born in a middle-class Jewish family in Worcester, Massachusetts, and graduated from Brandeis University, was influenced by both Marshall McLuhan and Herbert Marcuse. His political career demonstrated his dramatic flair in using the media to promote himself as well as his unconventional Marxism. The generation gap, not class conflict, sparked his social and political revolution. With fellow hippie-radical spokesman Jerry Rubin he created the Yippies—the Youth International Party, which pioneered the use of street theater as a means of political protest. They made the...

Schlafly, Phyllis 1924-
Phyllis Schlafly represented the conservative and traditional American women in the 1970s who feared and rejected the liberal women's liberation movement. Dubbed the "Gloria Steinem of the Right," this Illinois activist organized the Stop ERA lobby in 1972. She argued that social changes were a threat to the family and traditional sex roles.
Congressional Candidate.
Born in Saint Louis in 1924, Schlafly was educated at Washington University and Radcliffe College, worked briefly as a congressional aide, and married a wealthy Illinois lawyer in 1949. Although a self-described housewife and mother of six, she ran for Congress three times, wrote and published several books on conservative issues, worked as a radio commentator, and was editor of the Phyllis Schlafly Newsletter. As a campaigner for Joseph McCarthy and Barry Goldwater, she adopted an early and consistent anti-Communist position, and she even criticized President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for their conciliatory détente policy with the Soviet Union.

Spock, Benjamin 1903-
Baby Boom Influence.
Benjamin Spock exerted enormous influence on the baby-boom generation (people born in 1946-1965) who came of age in the 1970s. Dr. Spock was a pediatrician, author, and social reformer who published The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care (1946), an im-mediate best-seller and quickly one of the most influential books in postwar America. Retitled and republished as Baby and Child Care (1968, 1976, and 1985), it was an ideal guide for a country preoccupied with children and just the kind of gentle, warm, and thoughtful expert advice young parents needed in the baby-boom years. In contrast to prevailing child-rearing customs and advice, Spock emphasized affectionate and loving parenting, which was dubbed by his critics as permissiveness.

I haven't been this excited about a cookbook since Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals. Sorry Nads, I had one baby and another on the way and if it weren't for Rachael it would have been takeout 7/7.

Family Reading and Science Workshop: What Makes Us Different? What Makes Us the Same?
Pre-register at (734) 764-0480. This free hour-long, family workshop for children ages 6-11 accompanied by an adult is part of the U-M Museum of Natural History's Family Reading and Science Program. This year's theme is Just Like Me?: Exploring culture, biology and the human experience. There is no biological marker for race, so why do we look so different on the outside? Families will learn about the biological reasons behind different skin colors and hair textures and explore other inherited genetic traits like the ability to taste certain compounds. Families will also get to perform a DNA extraction. The workshop series continues in February and March. For a complete schedule, including workshop dates and times at 42 library locations in Southeastern Michigan, visit our website ummnh.org or bit.ly/frs2013. For more information, contact program manager Amanda Paige at email@example.com.
