Contracting For Performance in the Procurement of Custom Computer Software

Existing computer contracting procedures often lead to improperly drafted agreements in light of existing contractual remedies. Computer systems may prove unreliable if suppliers develop them based upon improperly drafted agreements. Because courts are reluctant to go beyond the remedies specified in a freely entered contract, the dissatisfied customers often do not have adequate recourse under their agreements. In order to avoid such a result, the parties to each business arrangement need to clearly understand their rights and duties arising from the transaction, and those rights and duties must be incorporated into the written agreement. This comment will attempt to demonstrate the problems and possible remedies involved with contracting for the development of custom computer software

The Genus Thelephora in Iowa

The genus Thelephora, as defined by Fries (Syst. Myc. 1:428. 1821), includes many of the present members of the group and many more which are now placed in other genera. Citing Ehrhart, Crypt. Exsic. No. 178. 1785, as his basis, Fries defined the genus as composed of those fungi having a compact, homogeneous pileus which is coriaceous and persistent. T. terrestris Ehrh. is designated the type species. Thelephora, as envisioned by Fries, included five tribes in the genus proper. In addition he listed Stereum, Phylacteria and Leiostroma as subgenera. Some of these subgroups had been treated as genera by earlier authors, and some of them have since been regarded as worthy of generic ranking
