Secondhand smoke exposure is a concern in multiunit housing, where smoke can migrate between apartments. In 2012, the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted a cross-sectional mail and phone survey among a random sample of low-income and market-rate multiunit housing owners and managers in NYC. The study compared experiences and attitudes regarding smoke-free policies between owners/managers (owners) with and without low-income units. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the correlates of smoke-free residential unit rules and interest in adopting new smoke-free rules. Perceived benefits and challenges of implementing smoke-free rules were also examined. Overall, one-third of owners prohibited smoking in individual units. Among owners, nearly one-third owned or managed buildings with designated certified low-income units. Owners with low-income units were less likely than those without to have a smoke-free unit policy (26 vs. 36 %, p < 0.01) or be aware that owners can legally adopt smoke-free building policies (60 vs. 70 %, p < 0.01). In the final model, owners who believed that owners could legally adopt smoke-free policies were more likely to have a smoke-free unit policy, while current smokers and owners of larger buildings were less likely to have a policy. Nearly three quarters of owners without smoke-free units were interested in prohibiting smoking in all of their building/units (73 %). Among owners, correlates of interest in prohibiting smoking included awareness that secondhand smoke is a health issue and knowledge of their legal rights to prohibit smoking in their buildings. Current smokers were less likely to be interested in future smoke-free policies. Educational programs promoting awareness of owners' legal right to adopt smoke-free policies in residential buildings may improve the availability of smoke-free multiunit housing. © 2015, The New York Academy of Medicine.

Objectives: We documented emergency department (ED) visits for nontraumatic dental problems and identified strategies to reduce ED dental visits. Methods. We used mixed methods to analyze claims in 2010 from a purposive sample of 25 Oregon hospitals and Oregon's All Payer All Claims data set and interviewed 51 ED dental visitors and stakeholders from 6 communities. Results: Dental visits accounted for 2.5% of ED visits and represented the second-most-common discharge diagnosis in adults aged 20 to 39 years, were associated with being uninsured (odds ratio [OR] = 5.2 [reference: commercial insurance]; 95% confidence interval [CI]=4.8, 5.5) or having Medicaid insurance (OR=4.0; 95% CI=3.7, 4.2), resulted in opioid (56%) and antibiotic (56%) prescriptions, and generated $402 (95% CI= $396, $408) in hospital costs per visit. Interviews revealed health system, community, provider, and patient contributors to ED dental visits. Potential solutions provided by interviewees included Medicaid benefit expansion, care coordination, water fluoridation, and patient education. Conclusions: Emergency department dental visits are a significant and costly public health problem for vulnerable individuals. Future efforts should focus on implementing multilevel interventions to reduce ED dental visits.

Objective: Remote monitoring technology (RMT) may enhance healthcare quality and reduce costs. RMT adoption depends on perceptions of the end-user (e.g., patients, caregivers, healthcare providers). We conducted a systematic review exploring the acceptability and feasibility of RMT use in routine adult patient care, from the perspectives of primary care clinicians, administrators, and clinic staff. Materials and Methods: We searched the databases of Medline, IEEE Xplore, and Compendex for original articles published from January 1996 through February 2013. We manually screened bibliographies of pertinent studies and consulted experts to identify English-language studies meeting our inclusion criteria. Results: Of 939 citations identified, 15 studies reported in 16 publications met inclusion criteria. Studies were heterogeneous by country, type of RMT used, patient and provider characteristics, and method of implementation and evaluation. Clinicians, staff, and administrators generally held positive views about RMTs. Concerns emerged regarding clinical relevance of RMT data, changing clinical roles and patterns of care (e.g., reduced quality of care from fewer patient visits, overtreatment), insufficient staffing or time to monitor and discuss RMT data, data incompatibility with a clinic's electronic health record (EHR), and unclear legal liability regarding response protocols. Conclusions: This small body of heterogeneous literature suggests that for RMTs to be adopted in primary care, researchers and developers must ensure clinical relevance, support adequate infrastructure, streamline data transmission into EHR systems, attend to changing care patterns and professional roles, and clarify response protocols. There is a critical need to engage end-users in the development and implementation of RMT. Copyright © 2014, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.

Background: Adults with physical disabilities are less likely than others to receive cancer screening. It is not known, however, whether commonly used measures assess elements of physical ability necessary for successful screening. The objective of this exploratory study was to determine whether patients who reported limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) or instrumental ADLs (IADLs) are perceived by their primary care clinicians to have physical limitations that may impede cancer screening. Methods: Patients at 2 rural primary care clinics were surveyed about ADLs and IADLs and about their up-to-date status for breast, cervical, and/or colorectal cancer screening. Clinicians and office staff were asked whether they believed each patient had a physical limitation that might impede screening. The agreement between patient and clinician assessments was evaluated. Results: Clinicians believed that 43% of patients with severe disability (ADLs) and 30% of patients with moderate disability (IADLs) had limitations that might affect screening. Agreement between patient and clinician assessments was low according to the kappa statistic (κ = 0.355), but had a high percentage of negative agreement (92.3%) and a low percentage of positive agreement (42.7%). Patients with ADL/IADL-related disability were less likely than nondisabled patients to be current for cervical and breast cancer screening. Patients who were viewed by clinicians as having limitations relevant for screening were less likely to be current for cervical cancer screening. Conclusions: These results indicate that a common measure of general disability may not capture all factors relevant for cancer screening. An instrument designed to include these factors may help identify and accommodate patients who have disabilities that may impede screening. © 2011 American Cancer Society.

Prosocial reputations play an important role, from the evolution of language to Internet transactions; however, questions remain about their behavioural correlates and dynamics. Formal models assume prosocial reputations correlate with the number of cooperative acts one performs; however, if reputations flow through information networks, then the number of individuals one assists may be a better proxy. Formal models demonstrate indirect experience must track behaviour with the same fidelity as direct experience for reputations to become viable; however, research on corporate reputations suggests performance change does not always affect reputation change. Debate exists over the cognitive mechanisms employed for assessing reputation dynamics. Image scoring suggests reputations fluctuate relative to the number of times one fails to assist others in need, while standing strategy claims reputations fluctuate relative to the number of times one fails to assist others in good standing. This study examines the behavioural correlates of prosocial reputations and their dynamics over a 20-month period in an Afro-Caribbean village. Analyses suggest prosocial reputations: (i) are correlated with the number of individuals one assists in economic production, not the number of cooperative acts; (ii) track cooperative behaviour, but are anchored across time; and (iii) are captured neither by image scoring nor standing strategy-type mechanisms. © 2013 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society.

Executive Summary
America's improving air quality is an untold success story. Even before Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970, air quality had been improving for decades.[1] And since 1970, the six so-called criteria pollutants have declined significantly, even though the generation of electricity from coal-fired plants has increased by over 180 percent.
[ii] (The "criteria pollutants" are carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide [SO2], nitrogen oxides [NOx], ground-level ozone, and particulate matter [PM]. They are called "criteria" pollutants because the EPA sets the criteria for permissible levels. [iii]) Total SO2 emissions from coal-fired plants were reduced by about 40 percent between 1970 and 2006, and NOx emissions were reduced by almost 50 percent between 1980 and 2006. On an output basis, the percent reduction is even greater, with SO2 emissions (in pounds per megawatt-hour) almost 80 percent lower, and NOx emissions 70 percent lower.
Figure 1 below shows the increases in Gross Domestic Product, vehicle miles traveled, energy consumption, and population since 1980, and it compares them to the decline in the aggregate emissions of criteria pollutants. Today, we produce more energy, drive further, and live more comfortably than we did in the past, all the while enjoying a cleaner environmen
Figure 1: EPA's Comparison of Air Quality, Emissions, and Societal Trend

One factor in improving air quality has been the pollution-control technologies used by coal-fired power plants. Today's coal-fired electricity generating plants produce more power, with less emission of criteria pollutants, than ever before. According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), a new pulverized coal plant (operating at lower, "subcritical" temperatures and pressures) reduces the emission of NOx by 86 percent, SO2 by 98 percent, and particulate matter (PM) by 99.8 percent, as compared with a similar plant having no pollution controls. Undoubtedly, air quality will continue to improve in the future because of improved technology.
Today, coal-fired electricity generation produces nearly half of the electricity generation in America and provides many jobs. For example, Prairie State Energy Campus, a 1,600-megawatt coal plant under construction in southern Illinois, provides 1,200 people with jobs in around-the-clock construction. Between its power plant, coal mine, and other assets, the campus will inject some $2.8 billion into the Illinois economy, creating 2,300 to 2,500 temporary construction jobs and 500 permanent positions, while emitting 80 percent less in pollutants than most existing power plants.[iv] When completed, the power plant will deliver electricity to 2.4 million homes in at least nine states.
Source:National Energy Technology Laboratory, Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants, DOE/NETL-2007/1281,
Coal-fired electricity generation is far cleaner today than ever before. The popular misconception that our air quality is getting worse is wrong, as shown by EPA's data.[xvi] Modern coal plants, and those retrofitted with modern technologies to reduce pollution, are a success story and are currently providing about 50% of our electricity. Undoubtedly, pollution emissions from coal-fired power plants will continue to fall as technology improves.
The results of using a cap-and-trade system to fight "acid rain" have led some to argue that it is a model for efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. But the analogy fails. Stark differences exist between the "acid rain" emission-reduction program and the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide, a natural byproduct of combustion, emitted by natural and man-made sources.
Carbon dioxide is emitted in the U.S. by hundreds of millions of sources, including every personal automobile, the appliances many of us use to cook our food and heat our homes, and the businesses upon which we depend for our livelihoods, to name a few. The "acid rain" emission reduction program was initially limited to 110 site-specific utility plants, and then later expanded to 445 plants.[xvii] In addition, carbon dioxide is a world-wide byproduct of combustion, whereas all criteria pollutants are local or regional. In other words, what the United States did for SO2 and NOx directly affected air quality here, while national action to limit carbon dioxide emissions will have little bearing on aggregate global emissions.
Furthermore, at the time of the SO2 and NOx reduction program, alternative low sulfur coal sources existed and utilities had available affordable and proven technologies to utilities to reduce their emissions. When Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, therefore, coal-fired utilities could responsibly reduce emissions from their plants using various options that limited cost impacts to the consumer.
In addition, attempts to extrapolate the "acid rain" success story to the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions fail to recognize the history of similar programs in other parts of the world. For example, the "Emissions Trading Scheme" of the European Union has been ineffective at reducing carbon dioxide emissions at the same time it has increased prices and harmed businesses and consumers.[xviii] Further, the EU program has enriched some companies and industries at the expense of consumers.
A recent study by Laurie Williams and Allen Zabel, career employees of the Environmental Protection Agency, makes these points about what the authors call the "Acid Rain Myth."[xix] As the authors explain, that those who champion the use of cap-and-trade to address global warming ignore the crucial distinctions between the issues we faced in 1990 with acid rain and the issues we face today with global warming.
The following highlights Williams and Zabel's study demonstrate that the experience of the acid rain program cannot and should not be compared to cap and trade for greenhouse gas emissions:
In short, the mechanisms available to reduce pollutants allowed for more generation of energy with less pollution. But this success cannot be extrapolated to the regulation and reduction of carbon dioxide, a much more challenging undertaking. None of the conditions existing at the time of the apparent success of the SO2 and NOx reduction program apply to carbon dioxide, and, in any case, unilateral action by the United States will have little impact upon global carbon dioxide concentrations. Indeed, the challenges presented by the control and regulation of carbon dioxide have no parallels in the history of emission regulation.

Tips For Donating Old Books Without Being a Jerk: Critical Linking, March 29, 2017
Today's Critical Linking is sponsored by The Black Book by James Patterson.
Donating books is a great thing to do. Most of the time.
The thing is, it can be a big help, it can make your space more calming, but you can also create more work for an organization you set out to help. If you donate books without taking a couple steps first, you can do more harm than good. Which is sort of fun in its own way, and if you wanted to be the Joker, the "let the world burn" person of your local library, I guess this is a relatively good option.
A behind-the-scenes look at how to make life easier for the people who run the places we all donate books to.
Amazon has put in development The Underground Railroad with a script-to-series commitment. The one-hour original limited drama, a new take on the story of the underground railroad, hails from Oscar-winning Moonlight writer-director Barry Jenkins and producers Plan B and Adele Romanski.
Charlaine Harris, whose Sookie Stackhouse books inspired the television series "True Blood," will release the first book in a new trilogy next year.
Harris' novel "Texoma" will be published in fall 2018 by Saga Press, a science fiction and fantasy imprint of Simon & Schuster, the publisher announced in a news release.
And it's an alternate history series!

The City of Corner Brook, in partnership with the Federal Government will be investing almost $450, 000 to support the development of the Downtown Revitalization Project: Downtown Urban Design Action Plan.
The City of Corner Brook is undertaking this downtown development plan thanks in part to a contribution of more than $500,000 from ACOA.
Identified as a priority in the City's Urban Design Action Plan, this project will improve leisure destinations, corridors, islands, gateways and signage in the downtown area, helping to improve the area's aesthetics and providing a physical link between the City's two business districts. Additionally, the Downtown Business Association will be contributing $60,000 to support the redevelopment.
This sustainable project will encourage economic development through business investment, tourism, and increased pedestrian traffic and patronage of businesses by making Downtown Corner Brook more attractive to investors, visitors, and residents.
The Urban Design Action Plan is a response to the community's needs and desires as expressed during three years of public consultation undertaken as part of the IMSP process that led to the Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan for the City of Corner Brook.
The Urban Design Action Plan, designed by the City of Corner Brook, identified eight leisure destinations, three corridors, five islands, and one gateway as sites or areas for revitalization within the downtown, in addition to a comprehensive wayfinding strategy that would help flow people into and direct them throughout the downtown core of Corner Brook.
A Downtown Revitalization Committee was struck to explore the revitalization project, which was composed of members of the City of Corner Brook, the Downtown Business Association, and other stakeholders such as members of the Rotary Arts Centre and downtown business owners.
Council is committed to improving the City of Corner Brook and creating a downtown that is worthy of its status as the hub of Western Newfoundland. This downtown revitalization initiative represents a strengthening partnership between the City of Corner Brook and the Corner Brook Downtown Business Association, and by extension, its members – the downtown business owners.
The Urban Design Action Plan will be highly beneficial to both partners in terms of collaborating on the planning and implementation of the project, as well as its outcomes.

As you're probably aware, Texas's new campus carry law has caused some sturm und drang amongst the compassionate class who mold minds full of mush on the state's publicly funded campuses. Efforts to split the civil rights baby while staying in compliance with the law (and, not incidentally, maintaining the funding flow from a very pro-carry legislature) haven't please anyone really.
Now, as the fall semester approaches, there's this:
Three University of Texas professors have filed a federal lawsuit to halt a state law that would allow holders of concealed handgun licenses to bring pistols into classrooms, saying the measure would have a devastating effect on academic discourse.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. district court in Austin on Wednesday, comes just weeks before the law takes effect on Aug. 1. It allows license holders 21 and older to bring handguns into classrooms and buildings throughout the University of Texas system, one of the nation's largest, with an enrollment of more than 214,000 students.
The legal argument the plaintiffs hang their case on revolves around their First Amendment rights:
"Compelling professors at a public university to allow, without any limitation or restriction, students to carry concealed guns in their classrooms chills their First Amendment rights to academic freedom," according to the lawsuit, whose defendants include the state's attorney general, the school's president and university's board of regents.
Reuters is quick to remind readers that,
The Texas law takes effect on the 50th anniversary of one of the deadliest U.S. gun incidents on a U.S. college campus: student Charles Whitman killed 16 people by firing from a perch atop the clock tower at the University of Texas at Austin.
The defendants — who include include Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, the school's president Greg Fenves and university's board of regents — say they're reviewing the suit.
73 Responses to The Empire Strikes Back: UT Profs Sue to Prevent Campus Carry
You have no "first amendment right to academic freedom". Case dismissed, plaintiffs are found in contempt of court and sentenced to 30 day. Next case.
Not so fast. http://tinyurl.com/jkurnyr
Overruled, that's $500 you owe the court councilor, want to try for $1000?
Not so fast. You're relying on logic and the Constitution as it was written. But, in this case the profs don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of prevailing. And, if they're that frightened they can always take their cowardly asses down the road to a private college that doesn't allow carry on its campus.
If you are a college professor, you are likely to be a left-wing fruit, a petty dictator and a little tin god who controls the grades and exploits your situational power to make up for your lack of actual accomplishments. And you're a Democrat.
They'd make perfect politicians, no?
That matches 110% my experience w/ academia, back when I attended university in the '90s.
I assume it's only gotten worse. They're not a sanctuary for open discussion, disagreement and exchange of opinions. They're sheep factories – with professors, for the most part, being "think as I do – or else".
It has absolutely gotten worse. The classroom is no longer (as if it ever was) a bastion of debate. There are flat out opinions being spouted as truth and political dogma being propagated as the end all be all of belief. If challenged, the challenger is simply 'not enlightened' and can be brushed off as an old world thinker who is probably any host of "ists" that can be associated to someone of our persuasion.
I am an engineer. Unfortunately I had to take some liberal arts courses, such as sociology, to graduate. Yes, I had some leftists, but at least one of mine was willing to let you argue that his curriculum was nonsense. 🙂
That's why I took my required "liberal arts" courses in military history. It's kind of hard to put a SJW angle on Waterloo.
But, clearly these heroic three professors believe in free speech. These, at least, would allow free exchange of ideas in their classrooms. That's how it works, right?
There is no way this case will go anywhere.
Perhaps all of the would-be-carrying students should sue the professors out of there ability to set grades? Afterall, the threat of a bad grade must surely chill the speech and "academic freedom" of the students.
What petty little tyrants academia is full of.
The fact that they determine grades definitely determines academic discourse and diversity. If you know your professor has certain convictions, when you are doing your coursework, term papers etc, you are going to write what you know your professor will agree with, especially in more open-ended disciplines that make up humanities. You're paying a ton of money to leave college with a degree. The difference is understanding that you are going along with this professor for a grade and not actually beginning to mimic what these professors profess as gospel.
Totally agree. I had a Constitutional Law professor who refused to grade any brief that was in disagreement with her view of the Constitution. Students just spewed back her liberal crap for a B or A and went on to another class. Total waste of time and $.
Precisely. Why squander your chances of a degree by arguing with some liberal professor, who is in actuality as narrow-minded as the right wing zealots that they profess to be so much more enlightened than. It really does a disservice to the students and their education. I was lucky enough to have some professors and teachers throughout my life that as long as you could logically and intellectually defend your position backed by facts then they'd give you a good grade, regardless of whether they agreed with you or not.
Suspend, without pay, the various professors until the suit is resolved.
They are either delusional or grandstanding. I doubt that the Federal court will even accept jurisdiction at least until their suit is tossed by a State court.
Depends on who hears the case. There are judges who respect rule of law and decide accordingly. And there are judges who pay lip service to rule of law and decide according to personal ideology.
The premise is absurd. To ensure their first amendment rights as they are presenting them essentially everyone they encounter must be cuffed, shackled before spoken to.
Thinking back to my college years I'm guessing this is what educators have been wanting all along.
Pay $30,000, get hogtied and have somebody who couldn't accomplish anything in their own life yell at you for 3 credits.
It is absurd, as a natural Right cannot by definition be extended to the point that is places a burden on another natural Right.
You mean like homosexuals forcing bakers to bake a cake for them with certain graphics on it? Or Christian matchmaking websites being forced to include homosexual searches? Or…
Eh, forgot to click follow.
Well taken point. The examples you cite (government forcing people to violate their conscience) are as offensive examples as being forced to pay tax money to people who use government power and prestige to push religion.
I have no idea if you'd agree with that, but if someone were to put a gun to my ear and make me take an even bet, my choice, I'd wager you don't. Hope I'm wrong.
Can you give examples?
There are endless examples of teachers in "public" (i.e., government schools, supported with tax money) schools attempting to indoctrinate students, people posting bible verses on official government sites, and other sorts of things, including religious displays in parks. These are all technically illegal under present law (as they violate the freedom of conscience of some of the people subject to that government), but the hue and cry when someone complains–that religious liberty is being interfered with–is deafening. (Sorry. It's not part of "religious freedom" to use the government, tax money, and other government resources that non-or-different believers have to pay for as well, as a megaphone. There are plenty of non-governmental, non-coercively financed avenues for evangelizing; if someone tries to stomp on those, I'll be on the religious person's side.)
And of course, there's the ubiquitous example of "In God We Trust" being placed on money and many government buildings largely (but not entirely) since some jackwagon Congress decided to make it the national motto in the 1950s (supplementing or displacing "E Pluribus Unum"). Those are clearly done under color of law, but it's still promoting religion with government resources and should not be legal.
yes. exactly.
Didn't an armed civilian help stop Whitman?
Whitman was shot and killed by Officer Houston McCoy. Officers Ramiro Martinez, and Jerry Day, as well as Allen Crum (a civilian) were also in on the takedown. Martinez initially tried to take all the credit for stopping Whitman. In fact, he emptied his revolver at Whitman at 15 yards and missed every single shot. After that, McCoy blew Whitman away with a 12 gauge. Which didn't stop Martinez from claiming "I got him!"
Multiple students retrieved their hunting rifles and finally put suppression fire on Whitman which vastly slowed down Whitman's attack. While Whitman was dodging return fire from students on the ground, I believe three cops and one civilian "stormed the castle" and shot Whitman at close range at the top of the clock tower building.
Bet at least one of those students wished he had an "evil assault rifle"… You know, for superior suppression capability.
New answer for why I NEED a machine-gun.
Maybe I'm missing something. What is this "Right to academic freedom", and why does it trump the Right to bear arms?
Another leftist tantrum, pining for autocratic rule (that favors there view). This is almost as bad as the people who voted remain in the Brexit referendum saying their voces weren't heard and therefore democracy needs to be done away with….but only almost.
That sign on the front right is so mind blowingly ignorant… how could anyone be that stupid? Literally no country, developed or not, is "gun free", and I can only think of 2 OECD countries that ban civilian gun ownership.
Also, "trigger warnings" shouldn't be a thing; literal, figurative or otherwise.
So. Fucking. Stupid.
Yep those signs definitely made me think: "Smug Alert!" Also the way it actually kind of works in the world is that criminals, in general, target those who are perceived to weaker and less likely to fight back. That is why if a crook doesn't have a gun they will rob a petite female over a strapping young lad with muscles. That is why if they know people most likely are not carrying due to statute, then nobody is safe (guns being the great equalizer and all). Ergo, if there is a decent chance that a potential victim is carrying, criminals are less likely to victimize. That is kind of how the world works.
Wasn't the UT clock tower shooter taken down (or at least forced to take cover) by students who retrieved rifles from their dorm rooms?
Yes and one student went up the Tower with police.
The civilian was Allen Crum, who was a 40 year old retired Air Force tail gunner. He wasn't a student, but he did work at the University co-op.
Officer Martinez tried to take credit for stopping Whitman, but none of his shots hit the Tower shooter. Officer McCoy killed Whitman with a 12 gauge.
I don't recall if they were students or not. But local citizens rode to the sound of the guns with their rifles. Mostly hunting rifles. In those days the cops had revolvers and shotguns. Which were pretty useless against the tower.
While the citizens engaged the shooter the cops and at least one citizen assualted up the tower. I was thinking the one citizen was a shop owner.
Allen Crum was the floor manager of the University co-op.
Citizens with their deer rifles who responded to the emergency prevented a lot more deaths by keeping Whitman pinned down. Unfortunately, Whitman had the high ground and was a fantastic shot.
"Most of the world is a gun-free zone." Yes, buttercup, and how is that working in Paris? Brussels? Honduras?
Additionally most, in fact all of the world does not come with trigger warnings and safe spaces. Grow up and deal with it.
These ivory tower professors obviously haven't taken the time to consider that campus CC isn't about them- it is about the safety of students on campus. It has nothing to do with them and their academic opinions in their classrooms. This imposition of academic discourse argument is total garbage. I went to a large, public, state university and majored in public history (which is a B.S. go figure). As one would imagine I took plenty of history courses along the way, including black history classes taught by a black professor, a women in American history course taught by a feminist, American military history course taught by a Vietnam vet and other courses taught by Japanese, Canadian, European immigrants, young and old professors. Not only was discourse 100% civil at all times, but even when people were debating with the professors (you know, having a "conversation") and ending at loggerheads, nobody was visibly irate, angry or in any way hostile in their demeanor. So why do these professors think otherwise sensible, mature students who are capable of academic discourse will suddenly become violent fascists who will lash out violently simply because they are legally CC'ing? By the way, people were CC'ing on campuses before they were legally able to.
Students don't matter. They're merely cash cows used to feed the professors and administrators.
They arent even cash cows… more like govt cash funnels.
I'm not going to lie. Back in the day, when I was at the university – sure I was good at math, and was enrolled in a tough program (electrical engineering), but otherwise I was a naive dumb shit. Which is exactly what these kids are. Campus carry is nothing new and was permitted even before the legislation took effect. The only change was that dorms and classrooms, etc, now permit it by law. Guns were always allowed on campus. Furthermore, you have to be over 21 in order to get permitted. That excludes most freshmen/sophomores, etc. They have no empirical, pragmatic evidence to suggest that this addition freedom, which is what it is, will incur a negative in lieu of a positive outcome. Their default mentality is to fall back on their indoctrinated experience provided courtesy of our social liberal extremist media and liberal government school systems to believe that firearms, regardless of their use, is deserving of negative reception.
These professors are merely projecting. If THEY carried a gun and someone disagreed with them, they'd shoot the upstart. They think the responsible concealed carry students are as unstable as they are.
TX has pseudo campus carry.
A rainbow flag chills First Amendment rights more than a concealed firearm that is unseen.
Not surprised at all…
I work with professors and lawyers nearly everyday. Law professors being the lowest common denominator of the two BTW. They all nearly universally exhibit the following traits:
1. Absolute disbelief that people without multiple degrees can be functioning human beings.
2. Modern society would cease functioning if not for their, as in theirs alone, precious gift of wisdom.
3. If they think it, it is infallible truth.
Given the above and the fact nobody questions their wisdom/authority within their comfortable bubble, a lawsuit is not at all surprising.
OK, I've just read the complaint. In the opinion of this attorney, it's complete and utter garbage:
1. Count 1 asserts a first amendment violation because CC purportedly chills their "right to academic freedom." No such first amendment right has ever been recognized by any court.
2. Count 2 asserts, incredibly, that CC violates the SECOND amendment because it purportedly "deprives Plaintiffs of their Second Amendment right to defend themselves and others in their classrooms from handgun violence by compelling them as public employees to passively acquiesce in the presence of loaded weaponry in their place of public employment without the individual possession and use of such weaponry in public being well-regulated." OK, right. Needless to say, no court has ever even remotely suggested such an interpretation of the Second Amendment.
3. Count 3 asserts an equal protection violation, asserting that there is "no rational basis for the division in the state's policies between where concealed carry is permitted and where it may be prohibited." Another complete loser; heck, if that works, then it ought to mean that CC is permitted everywhere under Texas law.
4. Count 4 asserts that the CC statute violates due process because it is purportedly void for vagueness. Sorry, but thanks for playing.
This case has been assigned to Judge Lee Yeakel (Bush 2 appointee), who is no fool.
I predict this case will likely be dismissed on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. If I was representing any of the defendants (which, of course, I do not), I would be sending the three attorneys who signed the pleading a Rule 11 motion and putting them on notice that if they do not withdraw the pleading, sanctions will be sought against them.
BTW, the plaintiffs are:
Jennifer Lynn Glass — Sociology Professor
Lisa Moore — English Professor
Mia Carter — English Professor
Thanks, for the break-down.
2 was hillarious – i think I pulled a muscle trying to follow the reasoning.
I say let them proceed with item #3 for the exact reason that you give in the last sentence……. "Shall NOT be infringed".
The first cause of action might be construed as attempting to state a claim under the free speech aspect of the first amendment, "academic freedom" being equated with freedom to say what they wish. Thus, (the argument goes) they are impeded in speaking freely because of a fear that an angry student may shoot them. Leaving aside the obvious logical flaws and lack of factual basis, the claim fails to state a cause of action because students are not state actors–and the First protects only against governmental/state restrictions on speech.
Another ironic aspect of this lawsuit is that the plaintiffs are basing the suit, in part, on the Second Amendment. They claim that the "well-regulated militia" clause of the 2A requires license holders to be well trained.
From https://www.texastribune.org/2016/07/06/3-ut-austin-professors-sue-state-over-campus-carry/:
"If the state is to force them to admit guns into their classrooms, then the officials responsible for the compulsory policy must establish that there is a substantial reason for the policy and that their regulation of the concealed carrying of handguns on college campuses is 'well-regulated.' Current facts indicate that they cannot do so."
Since a given class might contain a concealed carrier student who might shoot someone over a philosophical disagreement (though that hasn't happened), we must ban concealed carry on campus?
Since a given class might contain an ISIS lone wolf who might shoot someone over a philosophical disagreement, we must ban Muslims on campus?
Oh, your rabid anti-constitutional bigotry doesn't extend quite that far? Curious, that.
Hey now. I thought all these hoplophobic shitheels were going to quit their jobs and retreat to their safe space? Who are they suing their former or current employer? Where do they live now? Texas? You mean they didn't show any real conviction to their cause? Who could have guessed!
Let's be real here. First off Utah and Colorado allow campus carry and it hasn't caused problems.
Secondly, if these professors were above board they'd have nothing to worry about. Their concern is "students angry over grades" which in my college experience roughly translates to "I teach my opinion as fact and give lower grades to students who disagree with me. I consider it part of my academic freedom to punish students who don't support my political views and stroke my ego. Therefore I am against people carrying scary items and consider it an infringement on my academic freedom to introduce anything into the system that might cause me to even consider grading solely on performance. I'm extremely concerned that I might pee myself if I went all petty despot like I'm used to doing and then realized a student might or might not have a gun. Sure, they won't shoot me with it but it makes me uncomfortable to think that there's any sort of scary items that might cause me to think twice about my actions! Simply put, I don't like having a tiny voice in the back of my head telling me that my actions are inappropriate.".
Even if you teach something totally objective, like Calculus I, and never, ever make a political side-swipe comment in a lecture, someone's going to be pissed that you gave him a bad grade. Even if he fully deserved it. Some people are just irrational, and some irrational people might decide to "do something."
However, I doubt you'd have any problem with my pointing out the solution is NOT to disarm everyone who is rational.(or irrational but unwilling to turn to violence), but rather…maybe the professor who is so afraid of being attacked because of the grades he gives could a) be sure to grade objectively (reducing the chance of creating a person who has a legitimate gripe) and b) carry a gun himself.
There have already been cases of disgruntled students, graduates and faculty members expressing their displeasure through murder. The faculty worried about people with concealed carry permits should worry more about football players. Those guys don't need guns. They are big enough to rip the professor's head off and shit down his neck.
And steroid rage is a real thing. Oh wait, college athletes don't use those anymore.
The problem is that while it's hard to inject politics… well at least harder to inject politics into math and science every university has requirements outside your major such as a certain number of language or humanities classes.
My university required the credits from 32 regular classes and 2 PE classes for graduation. Were there no BS requirements for taking "social studies" one could theoretically attain four majors in the hard sciences.
Not really germane to the actual point, which is that, regardless of why the bad grade might be given, there's no call to disarm everyone because SOMEONE–who, mind you, had to pass the requirement for a Texas permit–might be unhappy enough with his grade to shoot. (A gun carried on campus by a non-permit-holder would not be blocked by overturning this law.)
But…I had to take 30 hours (the equivalent of one regular year, though my major required 136 credit hours, not 120) of "Social Humanistic Electives" No more than 6 could be a foreign language. 6 *had* to be English Lit.
When I tell you I did my undergraduate time at CU Boulder ("Berkeley By The Mountains") and managed to meet this requirement WITHOUT being subjected to massive leftist proselytizing you will probably call bullshit. But I did it this way:
Six hours of English Lit–Did it in high school with advanced placement.
five hours of a foreign language. Even though it was Russian and we got old copies of Pravda to read, that doesn't count, really; the prof didn't expect us to believe it, just translate it.
3 hours microeconomics–Not really ripe for leftist indoctrination.
3 hours macroeconomics–I took that at the Colorado Springs extension one summer, and THAT department was conservative. Hell, one lecture we watched an episode of "Free To Choose"
Wow, seven to go.
Introduction to logic, truly basic stuff from the philosophy department. Amazing to see logic used in a "liberal art." He went after a lot of relativistic nonsense ("That may be true for you, but it's not true for me.")
Finally, for my last four hours, an upper division political science class. Now at UCB that should be a frigging commiefest, but THIS instructor had fought both the Nazis and Soviets in WWII (he was born in Poland), and was thoroughly anti-communist. The class was titled "Soviet Foreign Policy" and Professor Edward Rozek pulled no punches. The left on campus hated him and even tried to frame him for embezzling. Anyhow, four hour class.
Done: No serious proselytizing.
Texas and gun friendly ??
Not in law ! This reputation come from where ?
Texas has extremely favorable defensive gun use laws. Castle Doctrine, Stand Your Ground, Defense of Property that protects your right to shoot a burglar or a robber if you don't think you're likely to get your property back, non-deadly force being justified for theft, just off the top of my head.
There's kind of no point to owning guns if you're not allowed to actually use them to protect yourself.
Texas is indeed strong about laws regarding the keeping and use of arms. You've highlighted the use of arms, but not really answered the objection you were responding to.
It's less good (but improving) on when/how it's legal to bear them. Under the 2A, of course, there should be no restriction whatsoever on keeping and bearing (government may regulate use, of course, and does so when it prohibits shooting people for no good reason).
But yes. If you can manage to have the gun with you, you now have favorable rules to work with.
College professor first amendment logic:
1. "Free speech zones" are acceptable.
2. Speech codes prohibiting a broad interpretation of "hate speech" (doesn't exist as a legal concept) are acceptable.
3. Working to prevent conservatives from speaking on campuses is acceptable.
4. Revoking the ability of republican organizations to gather on campuses is acceptable. (UC Irvine)
5. Failing students with differing opinion is acceptable.
1. Licensed carriers 21 and over are a threat to free speech.
2. Licences carriers that have undergone a background check w/ a mental health component are a threat to free speech.
3. Licensed carriers with a crime rate 1/5 that of the police that work on campus are a threat to free speech.
Federal lawsuits don't come cheap. I wonder where they are getting the money.
I would guess some Bloomberg front or anti-gun teachers union like the American Federation of Teachers.
The Texas Legislature should give these folks some real "academic freedom" by cutting UT's state funding to $0.
I wonder if Nobel Laureate Weinberg is truly going to quit if this doesn't get reversed.
Most of the third world is a gun free zone. How's that working out for them?
Further proof that no amount of education can fix stupid.

Behaviour Reveals All
There are no secrets that behaviour does not reveal.
There are no secrets that behaviour does not reveal.
Setting boundaries is healthy self-care. When we say 'no' without guilt or shame, we are signalling self-respect, integrity and our commitment to living our lives authentically.
Authenticity … Living Me, Myself and I .
~ Judit e. Szabo
On my morning walk today I passed by a quaint grove of trees … not sure why but the grove stirred up thoughts of the events that occurred in the Garden of Gethsemane, thousands of years ago … events that concluded in crucifying betrayal … betrayal is ugly, it messes with our brain, it shuts down our heart, it rattles our soul … it is the juice that drama thrives on … disloyalty, treachery, infidelity … friends, lovers, husbands, wives, co-workers, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons … all betrayal is a searing life experience … but the one betrayal that doesn't seem to receive much consideration … the one that I believe trumps all machinations of duplicity is self-betrayal … our sincere need to belong, to be loved, comfortable, safe, secure can unwittingly lead us to give up on our true-self … our hopes and dreams, our gifts and talents, our passions … silently mediocrity starts to seep in through our pores and take root in our lives … that is of course until we decide to choose differently and begin to reclaim our authentic 'I Am'.
~ Judit e. Szabo
Courage is the virtue that all other virtues depend upon …
~ Judit e. Szabo
Does you behavior and presence align with your authentic self… your purpose, passion, perspective…?
Is your example ego based or heart and soul based?
Are you taking a stand for fear or truth?

     (from www.sec.gov)
From the April 28, 1997 Washington Post
After spending $43 million over three years to develop its commercial telecommunications products, GRC decided in February to sell that part of its business. The company had concluded the market for the products would not expand for another two years. Keeping the division alive would have cost the company about $2 million a month, which chief executive Jim Roth said GRC couldn't afford.
In the quarter that ended Dec. 31, the company said it lost $19.1 million, which included a $14.3 million write-down of deferred costs for software and other expenses related to telecommunications product development.
That loss and one the previous quarter led investors to pummel the company's stock. After hitting a high of more than $44 in June, GRC shares had fallen to $4.75 on Friday.
The company also said it will sell its advanced products division, which conducts materials testing, develops environmental software and makes high-end security systems.
Despite problems in the commercial market, GRC said its professional services business is healthy. The company does about 90 percent of its business with the Defense Department and other government agencies.

Vedhalam (English: Phantom) is a 2015 Indian Tamil action-masala movie written and directed by Siva, and produced by S. Aishwarya. Ajith Kumar and Shruti Haasan play the lead roles, with Lakshmi Menon, Ashwin Kakumanu, and Kabir Duhan Singh among others, appearing in supporting roles. Anirudh Ravichander composed the film's music and background score, while Vetri and Ruben were the film's cinematographer and editor respectively. The film began production in April 2015 and was released on 10 November 2015, coinciding with Diwali.
Ganesh(Ajith Kumar) and his sister Thamizh(Lakshmi Menon) come to settle down in Kolkata where she has enrolled for a course to hone her artistic skills. Ganesh is an extremely peace loving soft-hearted coy person who makes even rowdies like Kolkata Kaali(Yogi Baabu) like him in one instant. Kolkata is also the operating base of a high profile international criminal syndicate run by three brothers Rahul (Rahul Dev), Abhinay(Kabir Duhan Singh) and Aniket(Aniket Chauhan). Ganesh adviced by his new house owner(Mayilswamy) starts working under Laxmidas(Soori) who owns a Taxi company.
Cops in Kolkata ask Taxi and Auto drivers for help in nabbing criminal members of Rahul's gang and prepare a suspect list. Ganesh identifies one of the suspects and informs the police about the where abouts of the criminals which leads to a large haul of illegal weapons, drugs, money and also arrest of many of lower level gang members belonging to Rahul. Frustrated Aniket finds Ganesh and brings him to his Yacht to be killed, but is instead killed by Ganesh who becomes extremely violent during the altercation. Simultaneously Ganesh gets acquainted with Swetha(Shruti Hassan) and Swetha's brother Arjun(Ashwin) gets acquainted with Thamizh in two separate incidents and they are attracted to each other and Arjun gets his parents to meet and officially ask for Thamizhs hand in marriage.
Abhinay who gets to know about his younger brothers death comes to Kolkata and tries to find the murdered using a highly sophisticated technical team who track the GPS of the mobile which were in the area. As the final trace emerges it is found that Ganesh has infiltrated the building where Abhinay had setup camp. Ganesh after a violent fight with the gangsters kills everyone in the building and receives Rahuls call and informs him about the murder while all this has been witnessed by Swetha. Swetha rushes to stop the engagement of his brother but is stopped by Ganesh who reveals his history of being vedalam, a notorious history sheeter in Chennai who was shown affection by Thamizh and his parents even though he vacated them out of their own house for money. Thamizh gets entangled in a flesh trade kidnapping scandal under Abhinay and is rescued by Ganesh but also incurs injury impacting her memory. Her parents are also murdered during this incident. Ganesh brings her to Kolkata to take revenge and also to enroll her into the best arts college in the country which is present there.
