Bem is a social psychologist from Cornell University, now retired at age 85. In the end, the consensus about Bem’s research was mostly not that he used mainstream tools of statistical analytics improperly. The UBC folk didn’t want their sample to include the long-term homeless, so to be eligible, participants had to have been homeless for less than two years. Also, they rejected severe drug and alcohol abusers and the mentally ill.Why reject the most problematic, messed-up and socially costly victims of homelessness from a study of homelessness? Bad news, one might think, for a scientific study literally purporting to prove that stereotypes of the homeless as impulsive and untrustworthy are mistaken.

(Justin Wan/Lincoln Journal Star via AP)Activists declared a victory this week in their fight to repeal a new Republican-backed law allowing Nebraska taxpayer money to be used for private school tuition. If the law is repealed, Nebraska would join North Dakota as the only states not offering some type of public payment for private school tuition. AdvertisementBoth Nebraska and North Dakota passed bills earlier this year to fund some private school tuition. North Dakota’s bill set aside $10 million in taxpayer dollars for private school tuition reimbursement. Opponents answered that optimism with a shrug, noting that companies and people are always free to make charitable contributions to private school tuition scholarship programs.

Of all the free agents getting invitations to play for the Detroit Red Wings in this month’s NHL Rookie Tournament, forward Israel Mianscum just may be the most curiously interesting prospect. From the Cree community of Mistissini in northern Quebec, left-winger Mianscum was an attendee at Detroit’s summer development camp. “It was very fun, I had a good experience,” Mianscum told Celina Wapachee of CBC.ca. Last summer, Mianscum was in attendance at the development camp of the Montreal Canadiens. “He is one of the players I’ve seen progress the most in my coaching career in Sherbrooke,” Julien told CBC.ca.

Housing Minister John Lohr said since then, the government has received five applications, three of which have been approved so far. Housing Minister John Lohr said 50 homeowners did show interest in securing a modular home when the program first started, but the process can be complicated. A spokesperson with the province said those who were displaced who require financial support or rent supplements should contact the Canadian Red Cross for assistance. Still, Lohr said he expects more people will start applying for the modular homes soon. Lohr said once the modular homes are no longer needed, they will be repurposed elsewhere.

The city-owned site now proposed for affordable housing is currently occupied by the LAZ parking lot, a block that is bounded by Seventh, Eighth and Island Avenues and Market Street. The downtown San Diego site once destined to become a luxury five-star hotel could be transformed into more than 400 units of affordable housing under a proposal favored by city officials for the publicly owned parcel. The proposal by the longtime affordable housing developer was one of four the city received in response to a solicitation in May for redeveloping the downtown site. At the very least, those bidding on the site were required to set aside 25 percent of their proposed units as affordable. A key factor in Chelsea’s favor, Bibler said, was that it crafted a proposal that best met the city’s goal of maximizing affordable housing by providing the most units affordable to lower-income households.

A lawsuit filed on behalf of a former student and former employee at the University of Minnesota accuses the university of not doing enough to protect personal information from a recent data breach. Attorneys for the two plaintiffs said in the lawsuit filed in federal court Friday that the university “was fully capable of preventing” the breach, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Wednesday. The university declined comment on the lawsuit but spokesperson Jake Ricker told the newspaper in an email that the safety and privacy of everyone in the university community is a top priority. The report said the hacker gained access to the university’s data warehouse to analyze the effects of affirmative action following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling limiting the consideration of race in college admissions. The lawsuit accuses the university of violating the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
