Metaphorical, Punitive, And Pedagogical Blindness In Hell, Meghan Henning

Books and Book Chapters by University of Dayton Faculty

What is the role of the blind body in hell? Does it gesture to broader cultural conceptions of physical impairment? Can the blind be healed in places of eternal punishment? Does this ‘healing’ function similarly to the understandings of blindness available in contemporaneous medical texts? This article will examine the depictions of the blind in the extra-canonical apocalypses that describe hell. We will begin with a discussion of the apocalyptic tours of hell that describe blindness, paying special attention to the different roles (metaphorical, punitive, and pedagogical) that blindness plays in each text. We will also consider the impact that …

Meeting The Needs Of Students With Disabilities, Charles J. Russo, Allan G. Osborne Jr.

Educational Leadership Faculty Publications

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2005) requires states, through local school boards, to provide students with disabilities with a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment consistent with the content of their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). As important as it is to educate students with disabilities, the cost of serving these children is much higher than that of their peers in regular education.

Most recently, the Tenth Circuit upheld Rowley’s “some educational benefit” standard in Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District RE-1 (2015). In Endrew F., the panel affirmed that a school board in …

Remedies For Regulatory Takings (Constructive Expropriations), Deprivations, Expropriations Or Custodianship In South Africa And The U.S., Christopher J. Roederer

School of Law Faculty Publications

Oliver Wendell Holmes, writing for the Court in Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon (1922), started the regulatory takings tradition in the U.S. with his famous line that “if regulation goes too far it will be recognized as a taking” deserving of just compensation. As this paper will show, how far is too far depends on where you are. Under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, regulations do not need to go as far as they once did, and under the law in states like Oregon and Florida, regulations do not need to go very far at all before one …

Cullin-4 Regulates Wingless And Jnk Signaling-Mediated Cell Death In The Drosophila Eye., Meghana Tare, Ankita Sarkar, Shimpi Bedi, Madhuri Kango-Singh, Amit Singh

Biology Faculty Publications

In all multicellular organisms, the fundamental processes of cell proliferation and cell death are crucial for growth regulation during organogenesis. Strict regulation of cell death is important to maintain tissue homeostasis by affecting processes like regulation of cell number, and elimination of unwanted/unfit cells. The developing Drosophila eye is a versatile model to study patterning and growth, where complex signaling pathways regulate growth and cell survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of these processes is not fully understood. In a gain-of-function screen, we found that misexpression of cullin-4 (cul-4), an ubiquitin ligase, can rescue reduced eye mutant phenotypes. Previously, …

Late Again!, Mari' Emeraude

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Get this - I wake up to the calm daybreak, the warmth of my heater and my cat meowing into my face. Whoa. That shouldn't be. Why is it so light out at 3 a.m.? Darn it! My alarm didn't go off! I'm late again! I spring out of bed and hurl the covers off as my poor cat goes flying into the wall. I'm so discombobulated!

Coffee In The Keyboard: Why You Should Never Lie, Liz Petrone

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

A few years ago my former employer sent me to an off-site computer training course. It had been a long time since I was a student, and I was excited about the chance to learn, but the class started significantly earlier than my normal work day so I was only half awake and carrying a to-go bucket of coffee that first morning when I walked into our classroom.

The Math Of Writing Contests, Cynthia Washington

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Entering literary contests is a lot like playing the lottery. You plunk down the entry fee, hoping to be the lucky dog that wins the first-place pay-off of $40 (big money for writing contests!). Never mind that 150,000 other writers with more experience, creativity and contest-submission savvy are entering, too. This is fun, you chuckle to yourself.

New Year's Got Me: Wah, Wah, Wah, Danielle Sherman-Lazar

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

New Year, new start, new resolutions and all I keep hearing are noises reminiscent of an adult in a Peanuts comic strip, "wah, wah, wah." The lady sitting next to me on the subway with blonde tresses and a raspy voice proudly says, "I am going to lose 20 pounds." Translation: wah wah wah. Just stop.

2016 Christmas Letter, Jerry Zezima

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Since I am in the holiday spirit (and, having just consumed a mug of hot toddy, a glass of eggnog and a nip of cheer, the holiday spirits are in me), I have once again decided to follow in that great tradition of boring everyone silly by writing a Christmas letter.

Christmas Eve 1968, Eric F. Spina
