Making Room: Conversations About Race and Faith Between Members of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC and St. John\u27s Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC

In this project, the candidate recorded personal stories from members of two different Baptist congregations: Friendship Missionary Baptist Church (a church made up predominantly of members identifying as African-American) and St. John’s Baptist Church (a church made up predominantly of members identifying as Caucasian). Using those recordings, the candidate created a podcast called “Making Room,” and invited participating group members to listen to each other’s stories. In addition, the candidate invited these same group members to participate in conversations about issues of race, especially as they present themselves in Charlotte, NC. The candidate and group members challenged themselves with the biblical ethic of hospitality and explored conversations about how each individual might help to improve relationships between African-Americans and Caucasian Americans using that Christian ethic

Taxation-Federal Income Tax-Corporation Held Not Collapsible Where View to Sell Arose After Construction Completed

Petitioners had formed a corporation for the purpose of building and operating a housing project. After the construction was completed and most of the apartments rented, small cracks were discovered in the buildings. Without soliciting engineering or other technical opinion, petitioners sold their stock in the corporation. The Tax Court upheld respondent-commissioner\u27s taxing the profit from the sale of stock as ordinary income rather than capital gain, on the theory that the corporation was collapsible under section 117 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939. On appeal, held, reversed. Since the view to the sale of stock did not exist before construction was completed, the corporation was not within the contemplation of section 117 (m). Jacobson v. Comm\u27r, 281 F.2d 703 (3d Cir. 1960)

Characterization of the Ribosomal Protein L22e Family in Drosophila melanogaster: Evidence for Functional Diversification of Duplicated Ribosomal Protein Genes

Gene duplication is a contributing factor to genome evolution in eukaryotes. With an additional copy, selective pressure is relieved, allowing for accumulation of genetic variation and possible development of new or altered functions. Ribosomal protein (Rp) genes are a common class of duplicated genes found throughout eukaryotes. Typically encoding highly similar or identical proteins at separate loci, duplicated Rps were originally thought to be redundant and to relieve the high demand for translation. However, recent reports in yeast have shown phenotypic differences between Rp paralogue knockouts, suggesting functional non-redundancy. Little effort has been devoted toward elucidating the function of Rp paralogues in eukaryotes other than in yeast. Furthermore, in yeast, paralogous Rps are typically highly identical, making studying gene function difficult without protein tagging. To explore whether duplicated Rp genes have redundant roles, we focused on the eukaryotic-specific RpL22e family in Drosophila melanogaster. The Drosophila RpL22e family consists of two members, the ancestral rpL22e and its duplicate rpL22e-like, which are 37% identical. Divergence is evident in the genomic sequence, codon usage, and protein sequence, but whether this results in novel functions has not been previously addressed and is the focus of this dissertation.It is widely known that the ancestral RpL22e is ubiquitous, but our data show that RpL22e-like expression is primarily restricted to the male germline and is a true ribosomal component. Further investigation shows that in testis tissue, RpL22e is primarily SUMOylated and phosphorylated. Only unmodified RpL22e co-sediments with the translation machinery in Drosophila S2 cells, leading to the interpretation that the majority of testis RpL22e is not part of the translation machinery and that paralogue functions are non-redundant. Immunohistochemical analysis further supports non-redundant paralogue roles, as RpL22e is primarily restricted to the nucleoplasm in the maturing meiotic germline; RpL22e-like is cytoplasmic in these cells. Additionally, there is an unequal requirement for RpL22e members in vivo, as only rpL22e is essential in the fly.Taking the data in this dissertation together, it is evident that the Drosophila RpL22e paralogues have diverged in function within the male germline. RpL22e assumes an additional and unique role compared to RpL22e-like

Space Communications and the Law: Adequate International Control After 1963?

During the current year, a space event of legal and technological significance will occur. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (A.T. & T.), using the launching facilities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will launch its first satellite for research in the area of commercial communications.† The A.T. & T. sphere will be the first tested by a private, commercial organization specifically for business purposes- to implement a plan eventually to provide increased and improved telecommunications on a grand scale at a lower cost. The satellite will relay television signals from the United States to England, Germany, and France. Before a communication network can be commercially feasible, however, certain legal problems of space communications must be solved
