Abstract:
\"Recent social, scientific, and legal developments -- including the higher prevalence of nonmarital births, the ability to determine parentage through genetic testing, new techniques for assisted reproduction, and the visibility of same-sex couples who are or want to be parents -- have forced legislators and courts to reexamine how the law determines whether an individual is the parent of a child and what legal rights and obligations arise as a result of the parent-child relationship.\" Saxon describes how North Carolina law addresses parentage in light of these new developments and compares these laws with the recently revised Uniform Parentage Act of 1973.

Abstract:
President George Bush announced his administration's faith-based social services initiative on January 29, 2001. Since then the administration's moves on this initiative have included establishing offices of faith-based and community initiatives in the White House and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and initiating new federally funded faith-based programs to serve prisoners, drug addicts, and others. Objections offered by program opponents include the claim that the President's program breaches the constitutional wall separating church and state. Saxon addresses the four questions listed in the title.

Abstract:
Linville Caverns in McDowell County was discovered in 1822 by two fishermen. The cave is estimated to be over twenty million years old. Water dissolving the limestone and dolomite formed the natural passageways. In 1937, a local corporation bought the cave to develop it for tourism. The caverns opened in 1939 and were a huge success. A massive flood devastated the county in 1940, and the corporation sold out. Spencer and Mildred Collins bought the stock and took over management of cave. Linville Caverns, the state's only show cavern, is operated as a family business that has passed down through several generations.

Abstract:
Soldiers spent very little time in actual combat during the Civil War. Most of their time, particularly during winter camp, they spent staving off boredom. Neither the Confederate or Federal governments invested in recreational or educational activities for their soldiers. One outlet soldiers found was singing. During the period, 1861-1865, over 500 songs were written and published as sheet music. Songs such as “The Shiloh Victory,†“Manassas Polka,†“Sumpter, A Battle of 1861,†and “Home, Sweet Home†gained popularity during the war. At times, both sides engaged in singing duels across the lines with each side trying to sing louder than the other, while other times both sides would join and sing together. Regiments formed glee clubs and bands, with some members gaining fame. One famous soldier-musician was Sidney Lanier. He was a popular flutist who later became the first flutist of the Peabody Symphony Orchestra. Lanier also gained fame as a writer.
