Some events in history are the result of careful planning, while others just sort of evolve through a series of steps that did not appear at first to be connected. The latter was the case with the selection of the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) to serve as the site of the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay 65 years ago.

Re: Texans Mock
The value looks to be pretty high at #15 so I imagine they will keep their pick and pick the BPA. If Stafford or Sanchez are still there maybe you could extort a team into trading up but aside from that, its probably best to stand pat at #15. If you like Cushing, he would be your safety-net pick as he looks to be there at #15 in most mocks and at a position of need...then you could just hope that someone who you had ranked higher than Cushing would fall in your lap (Raji comes to mind but a longshot at best)

Aega sp.
This is the latest version of this eprint.
Isopoda Aega sp., possibly Aega bicarinata Leach, 1818. This specimen was caught using a specimen collector. This particular family of Isopoda, the Aegidae, are temporary parasites on marine fishes. They engorge themselves with food (presumably blood), from their hosts, then dislodge and sit on the bottom to digest their meal. The specimen seen here is about 5 cm long from head to tail end.

"Best English History Series"
This series is my all time favorite, right up there with Bloody Jack!!!
Miss Potter is just right.
She covers all the parts very well.
The continued life and times of Beatrice Potter.
Susan has done a fantastic job with this series about Beatrice Potter.
"It's all about the Narrator, Orlagh rocks!!!"
I'm addicted to Maisie Dobbs. This is one of the best British History Series available.
Great writing.
"So Sorry!"
Yes as long as it is all about Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly and Ballybucklebo.
Oh everything, it was so long on kill them and kill us and kill some more! God,,, I could not like these people.
Always Mr. Keating is a wonderful reader.
Don't ask!
Please give us a thank God we are alive - Ireland!!!
"Good listen."
I like a well written story Nancy does a great job with this series.
Katherine always does a great job.
"Fun entertaining!"
Its up there with Anne of Green Gables I like these little old fashion stories.
Enola Holmes.
Its all about the narrator!!!
L.M. Montgomery is second to none. Barbara Caruso is the very best narrator, I will buy a book just because she is reading.

Can one do anything to sort of rewire the brain, so to speak. For instance, say I continually teach myself new subjects all the time. Not multitasking- just sort of "hey i learned ___, now i can teach myself ___". Can my brain get better at learning? By better I mean more efficiently.
I'll go out on a limb and say that yes, the brain can get better at learning. But I think that really depends on what you mean with "getting better at learning". I'm sure it's a complicated issue.
It's not a question of changing your brain per se but simple education and attitude. Improve your critical thinking skills and general knowledge as well as improving your organisation and work ethic etc and you will get better at learning. You may find that a boring answer but there really is no magic tricks you can do nor medicines/foods that you can take that will drastically improve your brain; limitless was not a documentary (unfortunately).
well i think it is about changing the brain..not just your attitude, though that certainty helps. i think people change how their brain is wired all the time.. or we wouldn't be able to learn new things. adults couldn't learn new things. neuroplasticity. i've been reading more and more books about it, and i appreciate everyone's responses, but i've come to my own conclusion, thanks guys!
Perhaps changing your attitude is changing your brain. You wouldn't be able to change your attitude without synaptic plasticity, either.
my apologies. i thought he was just getting at that he thought our brains are hard wired like this permanently. -_- and yeah, i didn't think there was any "magic" food or medicines.. not sure if i said that when i posted this..
A really worthwhile book to read. I'd recommend it to anyone. Good story, nice out of the box thinking...read it!
Actually, from what I know , learning happens within material that is in the periphery ("neighborhood") of your knowledge base. The more you know, the bigger this periphery is. Also, your brain needs and consumes oxygen, so the better your aerobic shape, the more effectively your brain will work. I would say, more speculatively, that, since your brain must multitask to keep one's system going, the better your overall health, the more your brain can can attend to learning without distraction. As informal support for this last, try studying when hungry, or with a headache, acid indigestion, etc. Moreover, in terms of distractions, it seems that students living close to the school (college, actually) tend to do better than those that do not. I'd say it may have to see with having your life revolve around the learning process and minimizing distractions (specially in larger cities). Think , too, about the amount of time commuting back-and-forth over some 4 years (undergrad), or 5+ years for a graduate degree. I'd say , without having actual proof, that the more you're willing to challenge yourself by learning new things and by challenging your ownexisting views (by sidestepping, e.g., confirmation bias), the sharper you will be.
Marie, Echoing Pythagorean's thoughts, you may enjoy this, explores how neurons respond, rewire if you will to repeated focused attention to a task, it is quite lengthy, but worth your review, IMHO. Lots of personal stories and results from years of experiments from dedicated professionals, Dr Merzenich being among them. Rhody...
If there are multiple stable attractors without plasticity, couldn't a change of attitude be a change of the attractor whose basin of attraction you are in?
This reminds me of two things. 1) have you ever heard of chaotic itinerancy? 2) a thread where I asked a similar question nearly 2.5 years ago. (My empirical suggestion is kind of silly after having taken all of the local neuroscience classes and being exposed to real experimental methods.) https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=346790&highlight=memory --- thoughts: The concept of a stable attractor can be applied in all kinds of ways though; If it's a true stable attractor, there's no getting off it, unless there's an externtal perturbation, but then you can always make the perturbation part of the system, in which, case the attractor is only transient, since it can be moved off of. But I think you mean to intentionally separate external (environment) from internal (organism). The reality is that there's all kinds of different cues going on from both inside and outside the body; from the rest of the body, immediate environmental changes, and day/night changes; all of which metabolically modulate important proteins like Post-Synaptic Density (PSD-95), by changing PSD-95's transcription rate, and all acting over different temporal scales, so there's always plasticity happening and how that influences attitude hasn't been separated from how external perturbations (environment) can shift attractor states. There'st also evidence showing that the lateral distribution of receptors across the post-synaptic cell can change synaptic strength. So you can have the same number of receptors but acting differently as a function of how they distribute themselves spatially (and this is not a constant over time!). But you're right, some emergent phenomena like "atittude" probably isn't necessarily bound only to synaptic plasticity. But I still think there is a strong case that this plasticity that is always happening keeps the system dynamic and sensitive to perturbations, allows us to store thoughts and associate stimuli with feelings. Particular behaviors are associated with particular attitudes (which way does causation go, or is there any? They are both very possibly simultaneously modulated by a third system (the external envrionment). Lastly, the "binding problem" has some approaches where we only experience what we experience, all senses bound together, because we are "writing" the current moment to our hippocampus, where all the sensory signals are bound, together with expectation signals (like semantics and world model). If the implications of this research ever come to dominate the field, we might consider that plasticity is absolutely necessary for your every cognitive moment. Interesting question!
There's lots of ways to characterize it; Ichiro Tsuda has published a couple papers on it (I think he might have coined the term) and they all generally contain a definition or a list of characteristics... but basically we have a system that contains several transient attractors (i.e repellors) intersecting, possibly even with a true chaotic attractor. Trajectories can get caught in one repellor for a while. It's associated with a particular lyapunov exponent, but given a perturbation (either internal or external, depending on how your system is defined), it can be knocked into another repellor/attractor where the (short time) lyapunov exponent now shifts to another value. It's fairly common to have this kind of behavior in network of coupled spiking neurons.
Thanks, that's interesting. Google gave http://chaos.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/papers/chaos/chaos_chaotic.pdf . Do you think the heteroclinic channel http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000072 is a simple (maybe non-chaotic version) of chaotic itinerancy? Actually, now reading the second article more carefully, in the section "Mathenatical Image and Models", they do explicitly discuss chaotic itinerancy as being similar, topologically, but they weren't able to find parameters that made it work for their application.

Unlike the Rest
Pam Ford Davis
2/26/2013 / Bible Studies
Joseph, trudging through crowded Jerusalem streets, led Mary and their male child to the temple. Sounds of bleating sheep vied for their attention. In obedience to God's laws of dedication and purification, they brought Jesus to the temple. They offered up sacrifices of turtledoves or pigeons to their God, Yahweh. Simeon, a worshiper in the temple, routinely witnessed ritualistic dedication ceremonies. He soon realized Jesus was unlike all other children.
Seeing Jesus, he beheld the Messiah. Simeon was old and weary; yet, he knew he would not cross over Jordan until he saw the consolation of Israel. He readied himself in expectancy of a soon departure to join his fathers. Looking into the innocent eyes of Jesus; he saw hope for his people, the redemption of the nation of Israel. Spirit led, cradling the holy child in his arms, he praised and prophesied.
"Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, 'Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against ('yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed (Luke 2:34-35 NKJ)." His prophetic words fell upon ready ears, and into the pondering heart of Mary. Unlike the rest of newborns, this child was destined to become God's sacrificial offering, her Savior and Lord.
Young boys of Jesus' day enjoyed yearly adventures of caravan trips to attend Passover feasts in Jerusalem. During one particular return trip, Jesus' parents frantically searched for Him among family and friends. Unable to find their adolescent son, they retraced their steps, finding Him inside the temple with teachers listening to them and asking questions. "And all who heard him were astonished at His understanding and answers (Luke 2:47 NKJ)." Never before, had they witnessed such wisdom in youth.
Jesus, in his thirties, attracted faithful followers, curiosity seekers, outcasts and cynical religious leaders. Multitudes listened to Him teach, received or rejected Him, but seldom ignored Him. A blind man received faith, forgiveness and physical sight. He boldly refuted Pharisees attacks on Jesus authority and credibility. "Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind (John 9:32 NKJ)." Jesus proved His deity through signs and wonders.
Asking a Samaritan woman for water, Jesus broke down barriers of gender and nationality. Jews and Samaritans did not mix socially and had very different beliefs on worship. Why would He associate with her? Jesus held her attention with a discussion pertaining to living water. Jesus confronted the woman about her past marriages and current living arrangement with a man who was not her husband. He was unlike the rest of the men she had known. "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ (John 4:29 NKJ)?"
Religious leaders plotted against Jesus, arrested Him on false charges and demanded that Pilate crucify Him. Jesus did not resist or retaliate. He endured mocking of Roman soldiers as they whipped Him before nailing His ravaged body to a Calvary cross. A Centurion soldier, a witness to the execution, observed Jesus as He suffered excruciating pain. This man he watched did not curse His tormentors. Instead, He prayed to God, asking Him to forgive them, saying they did not know what they were doing. After Christ took His last breath, the Centurion discerned His real identity. "Truly, this Man was the Son of God (Mark 15:39b NKJ)!"
Jesus, God the Son, drew back the curtain of eternity, giving Apostle John a glimpse into future mysteries. John saw a scroll, and heard an angel ask who was worthy to open the scroll and to loosen its seals. "And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open and read the scroll, or to look at it (Revelation 5:3 NKJ)." John lamented; yet, there was a Lamb "Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (Revelation 5:7 NKJ)." The Lamb is unlike the rest. He alone is worthy!
"And they sang a new song saying: 'You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For you were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation (Revelation 5:9a NKJ)."

I have been looking around the site and came to the Micheal 5 page, at the bottom is a Barbarian looking figure. where can I get the Mohawk hair?
On this page ^
I believe the mohawk was made with the Supersuit.
I don't dance, I boogie. ———————————————————
If I have to choose between speed and quality, I'll take quality every time.———————————————————
It's not what tools you use, It's how you use your tools.
I think it was made with the M5 Elite hair http://www.daz3d.com/shop/michael-5-elite-hair/
I like Bryce, DazStudio, Poser and Vue ... in alphabetical order. And I would probably like Carrara too, if I could find the time to become acquainted with it. Peace? Poser and Daz Studio Free Resources Wiki: https://poserdazfreebies.orain.org
hmmm Okay thanks for replying I will look into it
here we go… my first post at the new DAZ site.
That mo-hawk was made from the elite hair and I had planned to release some presets for it into the freepository after it was released.
That never happened sorry and I have not been very inspired to do it while the site has been in such a mess.
I can take a screenshot of my dials and post them in here or maybe even get a preset done over the weekend and post it.
I stumbled on the mo-hawk settings before the Elite hair was released and whilst it can require some postwork it does create an awesome and very credible mo-hawk…. as you will see if you check out the M5 promo threads where some of my Punk M5 images were posted.
here is one that was never posted showing a close up of it.
Thanks Kerya for that info… although it is a shame to squash this down so small… but it is just to show another look at the mo-hawk for this thread.
Please check out my new art gallery below A New York based fine art gallery where I am showing a collection of my work
Also checkout my FAA gallery where I have a much larger sample of my art FAA may appeal to many artists here as they offer a great service for artists to sell prints of their work
To attach an image: don't use fast reply, use reply. There is a field for Attachments. Be careful about pictures size:
Although the information on image posting indicates that sizes up to 2,000 pixels square are allowed, at the moment the resizing code is broken (the images should be resized to 800 pixels square for display in threads). As a result we need you to make sure that any images posted are, for now, no more than 800 pixels square - you can of course post a link to an off-site full-size image and treat the local image as a glorified thumbnail if you like. We apologise for this, and hope it will be fixed anon.
Yes, this forum is still very chaotic. Testing ...
The mohawk is awesome Love your baby, Kerya!
Cheers, Alisa
********************************************************************** Post Count - just add 6775 to what it says here ********************************************************************** Coordinator & updater for KCTC Freebies *Remembering France*
@ MangeyDesigner I would love to see the dials as I have played with it and it looks like my 4 yr old son cut his hair And some presets would be great to. Thanks to everyone that helped me find this item.


text: Gambling on Gambling Lethargy in the Miller Nevada, economically, is largely a one trick pony. And today that one trick -- gaming -- is looking more and more like a perilous base for the state's economy, as all across the country gamblers are increasingly opting to get their legal-gaming fix closer to home. |

Nevertheless, Evan Wolfson, director of the Marriage Project of Lambda Legal Defense Fund, is encouraged. "The only mistake we make is when we let them off the hook by asking for less," he said. He is also optimistic. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe same-sex marriage will be legalized in the new century.
The only candidate who is determined not to discuss gay issues is the front-runner, Texas governor George W. Bush. He did not bring them up in his Christian Coalition appearance last week, especially since his theme has been positioning himself as a centrist.
If Clinton is on a farewell tour, Bush's campaign appearances are more like victory parties. At his $1000-per-person cocktail party at the Sheraton October 6, both his dad's brother Jonathan and former state comptroller Ned Regan were among those who smilingly brushed off Voice questions about issues like W.'s support of antisodomy laws that might make him less than acceptable to Rockefeller Republicans, no less Democrats and Independents. The only visible gays spotted were Giuliani appointees Christopher Lynn ("I'm here for Rudy") and Antonio Pagan, who declined comment. And Bush shared the stage with such prominent antigay pols as Conservative Party leader Mike Long and State Senate majority leader Joe Bruno.
Since the candidate's press availability in New York was almost nil, I waded through the herd at the cocktail bash to waylay Bush. Clasping his hand, I asked, "Governor, what are you going to do about the sodomy law in Texas?"
"That law is not enforced," he said, looking stricken. "It's not used. Why call attention to it?" But in 1998, Tyrone Garner and John Geddes Lawrence were arrested in Lawrence's Harris County, Texas, home for making love, and Governor Bush is opposing their suit to overturn the 119-year-old Texas sodomy law. In 1994, he vowed to veto any attempt by the legislature to repeal the law, one of five in the U.S. that applies only to same-sex activity (there are 19 overall). And he twice ran on his party's state platform that holds that "the practice of sodomy tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases," not to mention being "contrary to the fundamental, underlying truths that have been ordained by God." The archaic law was also cited prominently by proponents of the Texas bill, supported by Bush, to bar gay people from adopting children. But why call attention to it?
Bush is also not highlighting his record on AIDS. Larry Kramer calls Texas, with the fourth-highest number of U.S. cases, "the worst state in the union for AIDS anything. Don't get sick in Texas." Francisco Sanchez, a gay Democratic official in Texas, says that under Bush, "assistance from the state has dropped dramatically" to Latino AIDS organizations.
Gay protest is now shifting from Gore to Bush. ACT UP was among the 1000 demonstrators picketing Bush's Sheraton event along with prochoice and anti-death-penalty groups. And no matter which Democrat gets nominated, it is more than likely he will raise the issue of gay rights in a debate with the Republican a first in presidential politics.

Best Bathroom Accessory Ideas
The bathroom is a key space in any home because it is an intimate area where you bathe and groom. Make it your haven or turn a shared bathroom into an inviting space by furnishing it with decorative and useful pieces. Look for bathroom accessories that help you relax and add to the decor. Here are some of the best bathroom accessory ideas to help you make the most out of your bathroom. Massaging bath mat: Massaging bath mats are bathroom accessories that can change your bathing experience. Suction cups hold these mats in place in your bathtub. By turning on one of these mats, you'll receive a full-body massage as you bathe. They're great for letting your circulation flow after a stressful day. Massaging bath mats are a worthwhile addition to your bathroom. Not only do they help you relax, but they also keep you from slipping in the tub. Select a mat in a color that is close to the one of your bathtub to keep the decor of the room uniform. Decorative mirrors: Decorative mirrors are useful bathroom accessories. Replace your plain bathroom mirror with one that has accents or an interesting shape. This new mirror will enliven the room while maintaining its purpose as a mirror. You can also use it for practical purposes, such as hiding a storage unit. Look for multipurpose mirrors that open to reveal a medicine cabinet. Bath pillows: Bath pillows can help you relax in your bathtub after a difficult day. A bath pillow offers support to your neck to keep it from straining when you lie down. They are convenient because they're small and take up very little space. Automatic soap dispensers: Automatic soap dispensers are very useful for your bathroom. They ensure that users will have plenty of soap for cleaning and sanitizing their hands. Soap dispensers are perfect for bathrooms that have lots of visitors, such as the one near your living room or in an office. An automatic dispenser detects a hand and dispenses a regulated amount of soap. View All Bath Accessories Back to Guides Directory View All Bath Accessories

Law Professor and Grad on Panel to Suggest US Attorney and Marshal
Professor Verna L. Williams (left) and Former Judge Ann Marie Tracey '75 (below, right), chairperson of the Ohio Ethics Commission, were named to a bipartisan committee that will recommend the U.S. attorney and federal marshal for Northern Ohio.
According to a recent article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, President Barack Obama may appoint a new U.S. attorney and marshal for both Southern and Northern Ohio. The positions serve at the pleasure of the president. To avoid an appearance of cronyism, a committee composed of residents of Southern Ohio makes recommendations for Northern Ohio and vice versa. The committee will recommend individuals to Senator Sherrod Brown, who will then give the information to President Obama. He will make the final decision, which must be confirmed by Senate.

Bai Named to "Top 10" List for Corporate Law and Securities Scholarship
DATE: April 24, 2009
CONTACT: Sherry Y. English, 513/556-0060
Cincinnati, OH—Legal journal "The Corporate Practice Commentator" has chosen an article co-written by UC Law Professor Lynn Bai for its annual list of the 10 best corporate and securities articles in 2008. Her selected article, "There Are Plaintiffs and . . . There Are Plaintiffs: An Empirical Analysis of Securities Class Action Settlements," was written with James D. Cox (Duke) and Randall S. Thomas (Vanderbilt).
The top 10 Corporate and Securities Articles of 2008 list is culled from 480 articles and reflects the choices of leading corporate law scholars. Teachers in corporate and securities law were asked to select the best corporate and securities articles from a list of articles published and indexed in legal journals during 2008.
Professor Bai's article, "There Are Plaintiffs and . . . There Are Plaintiffs: An Empirical Analysis of Securities Class Action Settlements," was published in the Vanderbilt Law Review in March 2008. The article examines the impact of different types of lead plaintiffs on the size of settlements in securities fraud class actions. It also provides indicia that explain why some suits settle for sums that are extremely small relative to provable losses suffered by the class. This evidence bears heavily on the debate of strike suits in securities class actions.
The list also includes articles by Iman Anabtawi (UC-California School of Law), Lynn Stout (UCLA Law), Chris Brummer (Vanderbilt University Law School), Stephen Choi (New York University School of Law ), Marcel Kahan ( New York University School of law), Jill E. Fisch (University of Pennsylvania Law School), James D. Cox (Duke Law), Randall S. Thomas (Vanderbilt University Law School), Todd M. Henderson (University of Chicago School of Law), Henry T.C. Hu (University of Texas at Austin School of Law), Bernard Black (University of Texas at Austin School of Law), Edward Rock (University of Pennsylvania Law School), Leo E. Strine, Jr. (Vanderbilt University Law School and Vice Chancellor, Court of Chancery, Delaware), Guhan Subramanian (Harvard Law School).
An Assistant Professor of Law at UC Law, Professor Bai holds a PhD in Finance from Duke University and a JD from The University of Texas at Austin. Professor Bai also has extensive working experience in the area of corporate law and finance, as a corporate lawyer and investment banker in New York and a financial market regulator in Hong Kong.

Professor Joseph Biancalana Retires from UC Law
One of academia's leading scholars of English legal history and long-time University of Cincinnati College of Law professor, Joseph Biancalana, announced his retirement effective this fall.
"The College of Law's annals include more than a few iconic professors – long and vividly remembered across generations," said UC Law Dean Louis Bilionis. "Joseph Biancalana will be among them. Our alumni consistently remember him with affection and high praise for his command of the law, his commitment to rigorous scholarly inquiry, his consummate practice of the Socratic method in the classroom, and his enormous passion for teaching."
Professor Biancalana received his JD from Harvard Law School, after receiving his BA from Lake Forest College and his MA in English Literature from Harvard University. It was at Harvard that he developed his love of English legal history. "While in college and graduate school I took several seminar courses in [English legal history]," he said. "Then, I was hooked."
After graduating from law school, he worked as an associate at Herrick & Smith in Boston (Mass.) for four years. He then was awarded a Bigelow Teaching Fellowship from the University of Chicago Law School, where he taught for one year before joining the faculty at UC Law in 1983.
For over 25 years Professor Biancalana taught numerous classes and hundreds of law students. Many benefited from his teaching in courses such as Constitutional Law I and II, Corporations I, Property, Wills and Trusts, and, of course, English legal history. Gail King Gibson '90 spoke about Professor Biancalana for the law school's Anniversary Memory Project. "Property with [Professor] Biancalana was very interesting…It was clear that he was very intelligent. He was leaps and bounds ahead of the class."
When asked what drew him to teaching, Biancalana laughed and said, "English legal history. Teaching was one of the few ways I could continue to delve into this subject!" He continued, "I will miss interacting with the students, however. And I will definitely miss being able to continue learning in classes such as the graduate-level Fiction Writing Workshop I took last school year at the university." Biancalana admitted to enjoying being a teacher and a student, as over the years he had taken numerous classes to continue to hone his skills.
The author of numerous articles, books, essays, and papers, his work has been published in legal journals including the Cambridge Law Journal, Columbia Law Review, American Historical Review, and the Oxford Encyclopedia of Legal History. Commented Dr. Paul Brand of All Souls College, Oxford, concerning his work, [it is] "notable both for its mastery of the relevant sources and its ability to tackle the major questions of English medieval legal history in a new and interesting way." His book, The Fee Tail and the Common Recovery in Medieval England 1176-1502 (Cambridge University Press, 2001), is considered a work of major and lasting importance in the field. To that point, Professor Biancalana has twice won the prestigious Sutherland Prize from the American Society for Legal History, an award given to the best article published in English legal history in the preceding year. Additionally, he was commissioned to author the volume in the Oxford History of the Laws of England that will cover the fifteenth century, contributing alongside some of the best English legal historians known today. Noted Sir John Baker, Downing Professor of the Laws of England at the University of Cambridge, a professor "cannot now teach English legal history without reference to [Professor Biancalana's] work."
A well-respected educator, Professor Biancalana also has a reputation for constructing challenging and stimulating discussions both outside and inside the classroom. "Talking with Joseph could be a challenge, sometimes even a frustration," said his colleague Thomas Eisele, Professor of Law. "His insistence on clear thought and precise expression (as well as coming up with ideas that were more than platitudes) superseded the ordinary customs of friendship, or collegiality. This could be off-putting. But, to be sure, engaging with Joseph's agile mind also was highly rewarding, for anyone willing to submit to such rigorous demands. Joseph's ability to be unsettling in a good sense proved, in my experience, of real and lasting benefit. In the best tradition of law school curmudgeons, he is a latter-day Socratic gad-fly."
Inside the classroom alumni and students consistently remember him with affection and the highest praise for his command of the law and passion for teaching. "We are very grateful to [Professor Biancalana] for the impact he had on our curriculum and our students. In fact, he was one of my favorite professors when I was lucky to be in his Property class during my days as a student at the College of Law," said Nancy Oliver '90, Associate Dean for Curriculum and Student Affairs at the College of Law.
What has been the result of his efforts? He has been awarded several commendations from the law school community. He is a two-time winner of the Goldman Prize for Excellence in Teaching. This award, given by UC law students, recognizes professors who distinguish themselves in the classroom. Wrote former law school dean Tom Gerety in a Goldman Prize announcement letter, "Professor Joseph Biancalana approaches his material with an electrifying intensity, and his excitement is oftentimes contagious. He pushes students beyond their black letter law by questioning every rule. Thus, he encourages critical, as well as analytic, thinking about the subject matter." Finally, Biancalana is also a recipient of the Harold C. Schott Scholarship Award, which recognizes outstanding research and scholarly achievement by a faculty member.
This fall Professor Biancalana will be moving to Cambridge (Mass.) where he plans to pursue various writing projects, read and research articles, and "explore and enjoy beautiful New England." The law school community will miss him.
Professor Paul Caron Quoted in Washington Post
Professor Paul Caron, Associate Dean of Faculty and Charles Hartsock Professor of Law, spoke to the Washington Post about the tax challenges families can face after participating in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition shows. According to the article, several families who have participated in the show have struggled to keep up with the increased taxes resulting from the major improvements of their homes. The production company advises families to consult a financial planner for guidance and leases the home from them during the construction week. They note that a special provision in the tax law allows income tax to be waived on rentals of less than 15 days. However, cautioned Caron, this may not necessarily be enough. (Read more)

Twenty-three senior design students from Iowa State University will be in Webster City on Oct. 8 at 8:30 a.m. and will be partnered up with local small businesses to help improve the brand image of each business.
The Webster City Chamber of Commerce has been working with Professor Paula Curran and Susan Erickson, Place Coordinator at Iowa State University, to bring this project to Webster City.
"We're pretty excited about this project. It's an opportunity for our businesses to have a set of young, fresh eyes create a new design for their store fronts," said Deb Brown, chamber director.
Each student will work with the business to analyze the existing store front and then design a new identity that will communicate a lively, contemporary message to current and potential customers, according to Brown. The students will consider how this new identity can be applied to signage, both on the storefront and perpendicular to it. The students will redesign the storefront to complete the new look, and apply the new identity to the store front. This is graphic design; they do not work with store interior.
Products expected from the class include two to five copies of a written and illustrated report and a pdf file. The report will include design proposals. Design proposals will include identity design, sign design and facade redevelopment suggestions. Webster City will be invited to view final presentations of student design proposals in early November, 2013.
"If you were to bring a professional in for this service the costs could range into several thousands of dollars. The cost for Chamber members is only $50. You are also investing into a student's future career," said Darcy Swon, inTandem Marketing
Brown said the Chamber has partnered with the city of Webster City to complete one vacant store front from beginning to end - from the design to the installation of the design - to show the community what kind of business could be in that storefront.

Model DEC-685
DECWARE Modified SACD/DVD/CD player with class A tube output stage.
Sony has discontinued the DVD-685 player. We still offer this mod to existing units. If you don't own one, they show up frequenty on ebay.
This SACD player features a single ended triode output stage where the tube is visible and accessible from the rear. It uses a dual triode (12AU7) and may be rolled with 12AT7 and 12AX7 tubes as well. This is probably the most popular of all signal tubes making them easy to acquire with a large variety to choose from.
A new pair of gold/Teflon high quality output jacks are also installed on the rear representing the tubed output. The stock output jacks are still active. That comes in handy sometimes if for no other reason then to A/B the stock output stage with the added tube output stage. Huge difference.
The tube stage features it's own power supply. It comes on when the player is plugged in. It remains on 24hrs a day so it's always properly warmed up and ready to play at all times. The player itself turns on and off with the power button or remote.
When paired up with the 24/192KHz DAC, this tube output stage makes this player into a true audiophile source.
The Decware mods to this player involve installing a tube output stage that completely replaces the stock output stage by connecting directly to the 24/192 DAC chip.
The tube stage is triode, run in class A, single-ended and uses no negative feedback. We were able to leave the stock output stage un-touched and fully functional. You can use either or both.
The output of the tube stage is slightly higher then stock ensuring plenty of dynamics and weight. The entire tube stage is wired point-to-point on the back of the tube socket with no circuit boards. The tube plugs into the back of the player making tube rolling easy since you don't have to take any covers off.
Below are the factory specifications of the Sony player which remain unchanged by our modifications.
Sony 5-Disc DVD/CD/SACD Changer, Model DVPNC685V

Reading police are investigating how a 7 year-old boy ended up dead, hanging from a closet rod with a curtain around his neck.
In an interview with 69 News, the victim's parents insisted the death was a freak accident.
"I keep telling myself this a dream, that this is not true," said mother Renee Robinson. "But I won't wake up."
It's a Mother's Day tragedy for Robinson, now left with the grim task of burying her son -- and the mystery of how exactly he died.
"She said, 'He's gone; my baby's dead," said father Chris Boggs. "And I said, 'Please don't say that.'"
It happened Saturday afternoon at the family's home on South 17th Street in Reading. According to police, Josiah "JoJo" Boggs was found unconscious in a closet. A curtain was tied around his neck, authorities said.
Boggs' parents said JoJo and his older brother were playing in a back room, using the curtain as a rope swing.
"My oldest boy said he tied that up there," said Robinson. "He was swinging first, then he said, 'JoJo, it's your turn.' When JoJo swung, he said JoJo was still holding on. He said he ran out of the room, and then he ran back in the room with JoJo, and he tried to help JoJo, then he came out and got us."
Berks County District Attorney John Adams said he doesn't believe a crime took place, but police are asking tough questions.
"We have an active investigation to determine whether this was a tragic accident or was there something criminal that took place," he said.
It's still not even clear exactly how Boggs died. The coroner said an autopsy was inconclusive. More testing will be done and that could take at least another four to six weeks, the coroner said.
Robinson dismissed any suggestion her son killed himself.
"My son wasn't depressed, and my son wasn't suicidal," she said. "Him and his brother were playing, and it was a freak accident. That's all it was."
Boggs was a student at 16th and Haak Elementary School in Reading, according to his parents.
Throughout the day on Sunday, neighbors left candles and cards in front of the family home.
"That shocked me, to find out that a seven year-old was in there," said Jordan Stehman, who has lived nearby for two decades.
Boggs' family is planning a vigil at the house at 418 S. 17th St. at 6:30 p.m. Monday. The public is invited.
Compounding the tragedy, Boggs' parents were set to renew their vows next weekend.
Robinson said the family also lost their previous home to a fire several months ago.
She said they were packing for a move to Atlanta when Saturday's incident happened.
