Broadcasting and The Challenge of The 1970\u27s

The weather outside NBC\u27S Chicago studios was rainy and miserable that day in 1932

An Approach to Communication

A Practical Definition Man feels an insatiable desire to communicate. In fact, scientists tell us that better than 70 per cent of our active hours are spent in communicating

Raising Her Voice: Ruth Perry, Activist and Journalist for the Miami NAACP

Ruth Willis Perry sat rigidly in the witness box, clutching her purse and facing the television cameras. Her strained expression reflected not only the tension of a possible jail sentence but also the escalating effects of three years of threats against her life, her reputation, and her career. A few feet away, her would-be assassins smirked and jostled one another. It was February 25, 1957, and Miami\u27s White Citizens\u27 Council had occupied the front rows of the courtroom since early morning. They were ready for a showdown, but so were Ruth Perry and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Income Regulation of Future Interests in Partnerships Porfits and Losses--Taxation-Federal Income Tax--Diamond v. Commissioner

Federal Income Tax - Diamond v. Commissioner (T.C. 1970). It is well established that an interest in partnership capital received as compensation for personal services is taxable income to the recipient in the year in which the capital right is transferred. It had been generally accepted that an interest in future partnership profits and losses was not taxable in the year of receipt. The Tax Court in Diamond v. Commissioner, however, determined that income is realized upon receipt of an interest in future partnership profits and losses when such an interest is compensation for services already rendered

A Central American Success Story: Innovation in International Distance Education

Based on actual workshop experiences, faculty at the Honduran Zamorano University in Central America created an effective, size-neutral, world-class distance education (e-learning) program for serving learners throughout Latin America through online and distance learning technology. The program is known as PAC @ D (Programa de Aprendizaje Continuo a Distancia or Life Long Learning Program at a Distance). It is administered by Zamorano’s global center for distance learning. The establishment of PAC @ D in 2010 was preceded by workshop efforts begun in 2004 by the authors. The workshop efforts focused on bridging the cultural uniqueness of educational programs in Latin America and the United States. The goal was to assist local faculty and staff at Zamorano University to build their own digital platform effectively and extend academic and outreach programs through that digital platform. The use of online and distance learning technologies can help extend intellectual capital beyond the limits of the physical campus in fulfilling the teaching, outreach/extension, and, to a limited extent, research missions. However, as we shall see in this professional paper, distance learning is more than turning on the technology with a click and a keystroke. At Zamorano, the development of PAC @ D required many hours of a full range of pedagogical and technological training, spread over 18 months. This professional development paper provides the rationale for PAC @ D, outlines its development, and provides suggestions for enhancing the educational experiences of distance learners

Maintaining and managing athletic identity among elite athletes

Researchers have studied athletic identity (AI) and explored the impact that having a strong AI can have on an athlete. Additionally, researchers have explored the maintenance of AI, but only among very specific athletic populations. Little is known about how different athletes manage their AI at various stages in their career (i.e., still competing versus retired). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore how both retired and non-retired elite athletes from a range of sports maintain and perpetuate their AI. Five male and eight female elite athletes were individually interviewed on two separate occasions. Participants were asked questions regarding their AI, their successes and failures in sport, and how their feelings of self-worth were related to their athletic achievements. An inductive data analysis process was used, and relevant themes were identified. It was also found that there are things athletes do, or that occur in their environment that maintain and perpetuate their AI. The current findings expand this body of literature by exploring the various strategies elite athletes use to support their AI.Los investigadores han estudiado la identidad atlética (AI) y han explorado el impacto que puede generar tener una AI fuerte en un atleta. Además, los investigadores han explorado el mantenimiento de la AI, pero sólo entre las poblaciones atléticas muy específicas. Poco se sabe acerca de cómo los diferentes atletas manejan su AI en varias etapas de su carrera (es decir, siguen compitiendo contra jubilados). Por lo tanto, el propósito de este estudio fue explorar cómo los atletas de elite jubilados y no retirados de una variedad de deportes mantienen y perpetúan su AI. Cinco atletas de élite masculinos y ocho femeninos fueron entrevistados individualmente en dos ocasiones. Se les preguntó a los participantes acerca de su AI, sus éxitos y fracasos en el deporte, y cómo sus sentimientos de autoestima estaban relacionados con sus logros atléticos. Se utilizó un proceso inductivo de análisis de datos y se identificaron temas relevantes. También se encontró que hay cosas que los atletas hacen, o que ocurren en su entorno que mantienen y perpetúan su AI. Los hallazgos actuales amplían este cuerpo de literatura explorando las diversas estrategias que los atletas de élite usan para apoyar su AI

Space shuttle phase B wind tunnel model and test information. Volume 3: Launch configuration

Archived wind tunnel data are available for flyback booster or other alternative recoverable configurations as well as reusable orbiters studied during initial development (Phase B) of the Space Shuttle. Considerable wind tunnel data was acquired by the competing contractors and the NASA Centers for an extensive variety of configurations with an array of wing and body planforms. All contractor and NASA wind tunnel data acquired in the Phase B development have been compiled into a data base and are available for application to current winged flyback or recoverable booster aerodynamic studies. The Space Shuttle Phase B Wind Tunnel Database is structured by vehicle component and configuration type. Basic components include booster, orbiter and launch vehicle. Booster configuration types include straight and delta wings, canard, cylindrical, retroglide and twin body. Orbital configuration types include straight and delta wings, lifting body, drop tanks and double delta wings. This is Volume 3 (Part 2) of the report -- Launch Configuration -- which includes booster and orbiter components in various stacked and tandem combinations
