Autores ResumoThe BirdmenMost of the birds we see every day are passerines?perchingbirds. Theyinclude everything from chickadees to ravens, finches to birds of paradise.They are mostly small and seemingly simple.But they are considered to be highly evolved because their front toes oppose a back toe.When they hop onto a reed, or a twig, or a rail, the weight of their body triggers leg tendons to clamp the toes shut.They can't let go.This keeps them safe.Autopsy: High blood alcohol in dead student Preliminary autopsy results show that a UI junior who died after falling from a second-floor apartment balcony late last month had a blood-alcohol content of more than three times the legal limit.Joseph Domke died from blunt force injuries to the head after tumbling from the balcony at 201 E. Burlington St. around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 31.He was rushed to UI Hospitals and Clinics, where he later died.Domke's death has since been ruled accidental.Friends said on Thursday that Domke simply lost his balance and fell backwards off the balcony, which was secured by a rail.?The Daily Iowan Adults dream often of falling.The only theme more common is being chased.When people are asked to recall dreams from child hood, dreams of falling and being chased are again most common?along with dreams of flying.According to most dream dictionaries, dreams of flying are meta phors for success.Dreams of falling are metaphors for failure.UI junior Nancy Bielski, who attended high school with Domke in Apple Valley, Minn., said her friend of four years was a normal 20-year-old."He was a college kid who had fun, and liked to party on weekends, and go out on weekends.Typical college behavior," she said.Unexpected falls have problems beyond the obvious.Unless you have time to prepare a defense, everyone left behind will judge you.27 University of Iowa is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve, and extend access to The Iowa Review www.jstor.org® In an e-mail provided to The Daily Iowan, Iowa City Police Chief Samuel Hargadine wrote: "FYI, the kid that fell off the balcony and killed himself had a BA level of .25." Things Joe loved: Country music, pillows, cowboy hats and belt buckles.Secretly, the piano.His mom, for her aching love, his dad for his goofiness, his brother for his toughness.Like his parents, he loved the bald eagle
