License To Kill (The Dream Of Fair Housing): How The Seventh Circuit In Craigslist Gave Websites A Free Pass To Publish Discriminatory Housing Advertisements, Joseph J. Opron Iii
License To Kill (The Dream Of Fair Housing): How The Seventh Circuit In Craigslist Gave Websites A Free Pass To Publish Discriminatory Housing Advertisements, Joseph J. Opron Iii
Seventh Circuit Review
In Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Inc. v. Craigslist, Inc., the Seventh Circuit held that Craigslist, Inc., could not be held liable under the Fair Housing Act’s ban on discriminatory advertisements for over 120 discriminatory housing advertisements complained about by the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee that were posted on Craigslist’s website. The court held that although newspapers and virtually every other publishing medium are consistently found liable under the Fair Housing Act’s ban on discriminatory advertisements, interactive computer service providers, such as Craigslist, are afforded civil immunity as a publishers or speakers of third-party content under the …
Policing Thought: United States V. Khattab And The Mens Rea Requirement Of 21 U.S.C. § 841, Anne M. Walker
Policing Thought: United States V. Khattab And The Mens Rea Requirement Of 21 U.S.C. § 841, Anne M. Walker
Seventh Circuit Review
In United States v. Khattab, the Seventh Circuit identified a split between the circuits as to the mens rea required by the statute that criminalizes possessing or distributing precursor chemicals to illegal drugs. The relevant mens rea is “knowingly, or having reasonable cause to believe[.]” While the Tenth Circuit interprets “having reasonable cause to believe” to mean that a defendant must have something close to actual subjective knowledge that a chemical will be used to manufacture methamphetamines, the Eighth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits interpret “having reasonable cause to believe,” to mean that an objective standard can be applied. The …

Questionnaire Construct Validation In The International Civic And Citizenship Education Study, Wolfram Schulz
Questionnaire Construct Validation In The International Civic And Citizenship Education Study, Wolfram Schulz
Civics and Citizenship Assessment
International studies tend to use student, teacher or school questionnaires for the collection of contextual data on student or teacher characteristics, background, activities and the school's learning environment. Furthermore, student measures of values, attitudes and behavioural intentions are also frequently viewed as important learning outcomes, in particular in the context of studies of civic and citizenship education. Data obtained from these instruments become frequently important predictors of student performance or are treated as learning outcome variables of interest. Therefore, the scaling of questionnaire items to obtain measures of students', teachers' and principals' perceptions and attitudes should ideally be subject of …

OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)
This paper examines trends between PISA 2003 and PISA 2006 for the reading and mathematics scales for the OECD countries using both the standard one parameter (1PL) model that has been used in published OECD reports, and a generalised partial credit model, as implemented in ACER ConQuest, which estimates optimal values for each possible score on an item.
Archaeological Perspectives On The Effects Of Medieval Drought In Prehistoric California, Terry L. Jones, Al Schwitalla
Archaeological Perspectives On The Effects Of Medieval Drought In Prehistoric California, Terry L. Jones, Al Schwitalla
Social Sciences
Inspired by Stine's [1994. Extreme and persistent drought in California and Patagonia during Medieval Time. Nature 369, 546–549.] findings from Mono Lake and Graumlich's [1993. A 1000-year record of temperature and precipitation in the Sierra Nevada. Quaternary Research 39, 249–255.] tree-ring study from the southern Sierra Nevada, California archaeologists have for over a decade been investigating the possibility that prehistoric societies were noticeably impacted by severe droughts during the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (MCA; cal A.D. 800–1350). Decreased production at obsidian sources, dramatic increases in bead production, trade, and sociopolitical complexity in the Channel Islands, and subsistence changes on the central …

Where Are The Twenty-Year-Olds? Tools For The Church To Connect And Retain A Generation, Lars Rood
Where Are The Twenty-Year-Olds? Tools For The Church To Connect And Retain A Generation, Lars Rood
Doctor of Ministry
A generation of young people are losing their connection to the church today. Research by the Barna Group shows that "61 % of students who were active in church during their teenage years disengaged during their twenties."1 Many churches struggle to adequately connect with and retain the twenty-something generation. This inability to connect stems from changing culture, technology, new worldviews, and a lack of formal training in institutes of higher education. Raised with the Internet, instant messaging, cell phones, and hundreds of television channels, this generation is undoubtedly well informed. Yet many churches no longer speak their language. I believe …

Prevalence Of Mental Health Issues In The Borderlands: A Comparative Perspective, Kathleen A. O'Connor, Robert L. Anders, Hector Balcazar, Jorge Ibarra, Eduardo Perez, Luis Flores, Melchor Ortiz, Nathaniel H. Bean
Departmental Papers (S&A)
The purpose of this paper is to (a) examine the results of a binational study of two colonias near El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, focusing on mental health and (b) analyze those results in relation to the existing literature on Hispanic mental health to determine how border regions compare with Hispanic enclaves in nonborder regions. We focus on gender, birthplace, length of residency, and level of acculturation correlated with self-reported diagnoses of depression in our analysis. Our survey instrument incorporates portions of the Behavioral Risk Factor and Surveillance Survey; the SF36, version 2; and the CAGE scale for …
Additional Information About American And Arab Perceptions Of An Arabic Turn-Taking Cue, Nigel Ward, Yaffa Al Bayyari
Additional Information About American And Arab Perceptions Of An Arabic Turn-Taking Cue, Nigel Ward, Yaffa Al Bayyari
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
This technical report is a supplement to "American and Arab perceptions of an Arabic turn-taking cue", a paper submitted to the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology. It provides additional details, discussion, figures, tables, and references relating to the main finding, that English speakers tend to misinterpret the prosodic pattern used in Arabic to cue back-channel responses, perceiving it as an expression of negative affect. It also describes an experimental demonstration that being able to detect and respond to this prosodic pattern in dialog can increase native-speaker perceptions of the social effectiveness of learners.
Contrastivism Rather Than Something Else? On The Limits Of Epistemic Contrastivism, Peter Baumann
Contrastivism Rather Than Something Else? On The Limits Of Epistemic Contrastivism, Peter Baumann
Philosophy Faculty Works
One of the most recent trends in epistemology is contrastivism. It can be characterized as the thesis that knowledge is a ternary relation between a subject, a proposition known and a contrast proposition. According to contrastivism, knowledge attributions have the form “S knows that p, rather than q”. In this paper I raise several problems for contrastivism: it lacks plausibility for many cases of knowledge, is too narrow concerning the third relatum, and overlooks a further relativity of the knowledge relation.

The Grammar Of Catholic Schooling And Radically “Catholic” Schools, Martin Scanlan
The Grammar Of Catholic Schooling And Radically “Catholic” Schools, Martin Scanlan
Journal of Catholic Education
A “grammar of Catholic schooling” inhibits many elementary and secondary Catholic schools from reflecting on how they practice Catholic Social Teaching (CST). The values of human dignity, the common good and a preferential option for the marginalized are central to CST. Schools can live these values by serving children who live in poverty, are racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities, or have disabilities. This article demonstrates how a grammar of Catholic schooling has allowed Catholic schools to fall into recruitment and retention patterns antithetical to CST. Drawing upon a multicase, qualitative study of three urban Catholic elementary schools serving marginalized students, …
Cognitive And Language Development In Young Children With Plagiocephaly, Vidhya Krishnamurthy
Cognitive And Language Development In Young Children With Plagiocephaly, Vidhya Krishnamurthy
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Deformational plagiocephaly is a craniofacial condition where the occipital region of an infant’s skull becomes flattened as a result of prenatal or external factors. It is considered to be a primarily cosmetic condition that has no significant long term consequences. A few recent studies, however, have begun to suggest that children with deformational plagiocephaly may exhibit developmental delays or deficits. The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive and language functioning of preschool age children who had been diagnosed with deformational plagiocephaly. Further, the study hoped to understand the relationship between developmental functioning in infancy and cognitive and …
The Gods Of My Father Terah’: Abraham The Iconoclast And The Polemics With The Divine Body Traditions In The Apocalypse Of Abraham, Andrei Orlov
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
The first eight chapters of the Apocalypse of Abraham recount the early years of the young hero of the faith who is depicted as a fighter against the idolatrous practices of his father Terah. The conceptual developments found in this section of the work, especially in the depictions of the idolatrous statues, seem to play an important role in the work's overall retraction of the anthropomorphic understanding of the deity. In the depictions of the idol Bar-Eshath (`the Son of Fire') and some other human-like figures, whose features are vividly reminiscent of the familiar attributes of the anthropomorphic portrayals of …

Despite mortality due to communicable diseases, poverty, and human conflicts, dementia incidence is destined to increase in the developing world in tandem with the ageing population. Current data from developing countries suggest that age-adjusted dementia prevalence estimates in 65 year olds are high (≥5%) in certain Asian and Latin American countries, but consistently low (1–3%) in India and sub-Saharan Africa; Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60% whereas vascular dementia accounts for ∼30% of the prevalence. Early-onset familial forms of dementia with single-gene defects occur in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Illiteracy remains a risk factor for dementia. The APOE ε4 allele …

Fs ≠ Fs (Formulaicity And Prosody), Dermot Campbell, Yi Wang, Ciaran Mcdonnell
Conference papers
Research in recent years has convincingly shown the importance in informal speech of formulaic sequences (FSs), or pre-fabricated linguistic segments. Work being undertaken at the Technological University Dublin (DIT) aims to extend research into FSs by including the aspect of prosody. In this presentation we outline the construction of a novel speech corpus at DIT, based on intelligent access to natural dialogue recorded at a high audio quality. Search strings can be examined in their phonetic and dialogic context, and what Cauldwell called the ‘acoustic blur of speech’ made accessible to learner and researcher alike by means of DIT’s slow-down …
