School Info » History
Nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina lies the rural community of Ellenboro. From 1924 until the spring of 2004, our school was located on Cherry Mountain Street in Ellenboro. During this time our school witnessed many changes. In its inception Ellenboro was a community school. Many children began their education in the first grade and graduated from the twelfth grade at Ellenboro School.
As the surrounding community grew and the population increased, it became necessary to add on to the original structure. A new cafeteria was constructed in 1958. In 1962 East Rutherford High School was opened, and Ellenboro became a K-8 school. The facility had another facelift in 1977 when the Davis Gym was dedicated, and then again in 1985 when a new, separate building to serve seventh and eighth graders was constructed. In the early 1990's Rutherford County embraced the middle school concept and in 1995 the sixth, seventh, and eighth graders were moved to the new East Middle School, and Ellenboro became a K-5 elementary school with larger district boundaries.
Nine years later in August, 2004, our newly constructed school, located approximately two miles from the original site, welcomed students for the first time. An ultra-modern facility, situated on 79.6 acres, houses approximately 600 students in grades Pre-K - 5. Our facility boasts the latest technology in our media center and computer labs. Located in the center of the building, our cafeteria and multi-purpose room are outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment. Near the front entrance you will find our reception area, administrative offices, as well as conference rooms and a sick room.
As proud as we are of our new school, many nostalgic reminders of our former school can be found. A ticket booth "stands guard" at the entrance to the office complex. This memento of the Ellenboro Fair serves as a reminder of the integral role the fair has played in our school and community. A mural depicting scenes from the fair greets all who walk through the halls. Although the location of Ellenboro School has changed, our philosophy remains the same. Our commitment to the idea that given a strong foundation, caring atmosphere, proper guidance, and encouragement all children can and will learn. It remains our steadfast goal that each child be given an opportunity to develop the skills that will last a lifetime. To that end, we as the faculty and staff of Ellenboro School are dedicated.

Ellenboro School Song
Because at one time our school included a high school, we have a school song. The lyrics were written by Merle Price and the melody is "Danny Boy":
Oh! Ellenboro, our own dear Alma Mater
To you we give our love that's strong and true
To you we give our loyal deep devotion
Oh! Ellenboro, our hearts belong to you.
And now to where the wide, wide world may call us
Where duty bids us we will go.
It matters not how far the path we follow.
Oh! Ellenboro, Oh! Ellenboro, we love you so.

Ok so I'll make this one quick.
These are just like regular shortbread cookies, except you replace half the amount of butter with melted chocolate and add some broken nuts as well.
Using the double boiler method, melt the chocolate in a bowl and set aside.
Fold in the flour little by little and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Fold in the chocolate and broken almonds until a uniform dough is formed.
Shape the dough into a ball, press down into a thick disc, wrap in cling film/plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This dough may be stickier because of the chocolate, so make sure it rests really well.
Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter.
Bake at 180C for 10-15 minutes; or until the edges appear crisp.
OMG I think I need to make these tonight! They look so amazing! I think I'll use some dark chocolate and lots and lots of almonds. Yum!


Wheatgrass, also known as couch grass, is a plant that was used since the 1970s to cure them of their gout, constipation, severe skin conditions, and cystitis. It has long been considered as a nutritional supplement. It's loaded with vitamins, amino acids, and other vital elements that are essential for good mental and physical health.
Wheatgrass has also been a favorite juice drink. Some like the taste while others need to say a prayer before even taking a sip of it. Either way, this green, healthy and robust plant has given people all over the world much to thank for. Its healing powers have far reached millions of people who have arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, or even cancer.
What does it have to do with cancer?
According to the Mayo Clinic, the richness of wheatgrass owes to the concentrated amounts of iron, magnesium, vitamins A and E, calcium and other nutrients. Furthermore, wheatgrass is loaded with antioxidants that help fight cancer cells. So what does it have to do with cancer?
It all boils down to the body's immune system. Our white blood cells are our bodies' first line of defense, and during radiation and chemotherapy, these cells are destroyed. If our immune system can be boosted and strengthened, then the effects of these procedures will be significantly reduced.
Individuals who have undergone chemotherapy may sometimes suffer from myelotoxicity, a term used to describe an abnormality in blood cell levels that make up the immune system. This subsequently leads to a reduced and weakened immune system. This is where wheatgrass juice comes in. In a previous 2007 study, patients who underwent chemotherapy and were regularly taking a shot of wheatgrass were found to have had decreased myelotoxicity were advised to take fewer medications for white blood stimulation. It did well for that study and many other studies in the past and present, although it is recommended that patients should consult with their doctors before starting wheatgrass therapy. It should not be the primary treatment for anything but can be utilized as an adjunct to almost all, if not all, kinds of medicines.
What are the other things about wheatgrass and its power to fight cancer?
An ounce of wheatgrass juice is approximately equal to 2.5 pounds of leafy greens.
Wheatgrass contains Selenium and B17, two elements that are very effective in fighting against cancer proliferation.
It is among the most alkaline foods in the world, and we know how much cancer hates alkaline.
It is a powerful detoxifier for the liver.
The abundant amounts of chlorophyll can efficiently increase the body's capacity to carry oxygen in the blood. Oxygenation promotes wellness.
Organic wheatgrass contains lots of enzymes that help increase immunity and decrease the presence of cancer cells.
The American Cancer Society recognizes wheatgrass as a helpful supplement to any disease, including cancer. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, however, are not advised to consume wheatgrass as they grow in soil that may be contaminated with mold or bacteria. Some individuals also report experiencing nausea after drinking wheatgrass, especially right after chemotherapy, so it is best to consult your physician if you wish to incorporate it into your treatment plan.
If you are suffering from depression and anxiety because of cancer or a severe mental illness, you might consider visiting a site that offers counseling services online, an online community that helps people deal with their psychological and emotional issues.

Nicholson Baker on His Minimalist Novel "Matches"
In 1992, Nicholson Baker wrote the novel "Vox" about a phone-sex relationship between two characters, with nothing but two voices and a telephone. His racy book went on to become a national bestseller.
In his new novel "A Box of Matches" (Random House, 178 pages, $19.95), Baker returns to his minimalist roots, creating a story about Emmet, a 44-year-old textbook editor, who gets up every morning around 5 and makes a fire while his family sleeps. He drinks coffee and eats an apple, but like the simplicity of Henry David Thoreau's "Walden," a list of hardware is more than it seems.
Baker has created a work of simple beauty, where a flyer for the Sears Department Store leads him to a memory of buying boots as a child, and in the dark he thinks of when his wife first kissed him in college.
The book came about because Baker had no time. "I had started a nonprofit to save old newspapers and I found that I didn't have enough time to write," Baker said from his house in South Berwick, Maine. "I wanted to see if I could get more done by getting up early. Somehow, it turned into a book. The box of matches was the size of things. I wanted to find more in a little box than people might think was in there."
Each of the book's 32 chapters starts with a match as the narrator makes a fire out of old cereal boxes and junk mail as kindling. In the dark the man muses about the green light from the smoke detector, or the feel of the coffeemaker as he prepares a pot of coffee.
"I am used to having less to go on," he said. "In 'Vox,' I only had the telephone line. There is something useful to me about not having everything to work with, having something simple and repetitive, and groping around to do it. You build a fire out of the scraps of your life."
The 45-year-old Baker is a contributor to "The New Yorker," he has written the five novels and three works of nonfiction, including one on his John Updike obsession called "U and I." In talking about his new book, he avoided comparisons with Thoreau.
"I didn't think of 'Walden,' but did Thoreau get up every morning? I didn't use any models because I wanted this book to be truly heartfelt," he said. "I am sort of saying to the world, this is what I have: a man in the middle of his life. Things are going well for him, but has he done something with his life? There was an earnest feeling that drove the book rather than literary ambition."
In his career, Baker has moved on from the sexy novels like "Vox" and "The Fermata." "Every book colors a different part of life," said Baker.
"I didn't want to shirk the sex part of it, which is really interesting. After doing that for two books, I didn't want to spend my life writing about that because there are other things to write about."
The autobiographical parallels are clear - like the narrator, Baker has two kids and a wife, and lives in Maine.
"I wouldn't say it is 100 percent, because I have a different name," he said. "I would take a wild guess and say that it is 85 percent nonfiction. I wanted to see what I had to offer the world when I had just gotten up."
As the short chapters progress, Baker muses on the use of memory. The narrator talks about his grandfather, a pathologist, and remembers the period when his grandfather was going senile. He played Chopin on the piano while his wife lay in bed for two days with a broken back.
"The grandfather in the book was based closely on my grandfather," said Baker. "He was fascinated by disease and believed more autopsies was the answer for everything."
For Baker, memory comes in particles. "You remember little moments of distress and elation, and life collects around them," he said. "I use those granular moments of clarity, as opposed to using a plot."
The box of matches provided him with a simple structure and the repetition of the fire. "You can't write a book that is a jumble of memories," Baker said. "You have to have an organizing structure, and that is why there is the idea of doing the same thing every morning. Rather than starting from one moment, like having a guy on an escalator and everything coming from that moment, I had repeated the time of day and would see what came out of that."
In "A Box of Matches," not much happens - the narrator's wife doesn't leave him, his kids seem to like him and he doesn't get leprosy.
"It is difficult for me to write with a narrative arc, so I don't. I don't want to claim that you ought not to have one. Even if they call you a hack, I think every writer is giving what they've got.
"When I write nonfiction, I want to change the way that people think about things," he said. "I have some sort of zeal to convince people of things, to show them why things should change. There is a muckraking element."
His last book, "Double Fold," was a book about the destruction of American newspaper archives. It also turned him into an activist. Baker cashed in his retirement fund to start the nonprofit American Newspaper Repository so he could rescue 6,000 volumes of rare 20th century newspapers.
Baker doesn't see himself as a Mother Teresa or the Don Quixote of old American newspapers.
``Remind me of what Mother Teresa did? The thing about Don Quixote is I don't want to think of myself as eccentric to the point of futility," said Baker. ``It is important to keep one or two copies of (historical) American newspapers. It is just common sense," he said.

La valve aortique est l'une des quatre principales valves du cœur. Elle sépare le ventricule gauche de l'aorte. Elle est constituée de trois cuspides. Au cours du cycle cardiaque, elle s'ouvre et se ferme régulièrement. Lorsqu'elle est ouverte, elle permet le passage de sang du ventricule gauche ; lorsqu'elle est fermée, elle empêche le sang de refluer vers le ventricule. Les dysfonctionnements qui peuvent la toucher sont le rétrécissement aortique et l'insuffisance aortique. L'examen qui permet leur évaluation est l'échographie cardiaque.

Anatomie

La valve aortique est située entre la chambre de chasse du ventricule gauche et l'aorte ascendante. Elle est constituée de trois cuspides semi-lunaires. Les cuspides sont des replis d'endocarde sur une lame fibreuse attachée à la paroi du ventricule gauche et de l'aorte. Les cuspides soutiennent les trois sinus de Valsalva, qui sont trois renflements de la partie initiale de l'aorte, desquels naissent les deux artères coronaires.

Plus rarement, le nombre de cuspides est réduit à deux (bicuspidie. De manière exceptionnelle, elles peuvent être quatre (quadricuspide).

Physiologie
La valve aortique contrôle le passage du sang entre le ventricule gauche et l'aorte. Ainsi, au cours de la diastole (relaxation du ventricule gauche)  et de la première partie de la systole (contraction du ventricule), la valve reste fermée. Au cours de la deuxième partie de la systole, la valve s'ouvre. Ceci a pour conséquence de permettre le passage du sang du ventricule gauche vers l'aorte au cours de la fin de la systole, et d'empêcher son reflux le reste du temps.

Pathologie
Le dysfonctionnement de la valve aortique est de deux ordres principaux. Le rétrécissement aortique désigne une ouverture incomplète de la valve qui est remaniée pendant la Systole. Ceci a pour conséquence une résistance trop importante au passage du sang du ventricule gauche vers l'aorte, ce qui entraîne une hypertrophie du ventricule gauche. L'insuffisance aortique désigne une anomalie caractérisée par la présence d'un reflux de sang de l'aorte vers le ventricule gauche au cours de la Diastole, ce qui entraîne une dilatation du ventricule gauche.

Exploration
L'échocardiographie permet de visualiser la valve aortique, d'étudier sa morphologie et son fonctionnement.

Traitement
Le traitement d'un dysfonctionnement de la valve aortique est médical si le degré de rétrécissement ou d'insuffisance n'est pas trop important et que le retentissement sur le coeur n'est pas trop conséquent. Dans le cas contraire la chirurgie peut être nécessaire.

Brixham All Saints
Brixham 1868
[Description(s) from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868)]
"BRIXHAM, (upper and lower) a parish, seaport, and market town, in the hundred of Haytor, in the county of Devon, 42 miles to the N.E. of Dartmouth, and 28 miles to the S. of Exeter. The Dartmouth and Torquay branch of the South Devon railway has a station at Brixham Road, about 2 miles from the town. Brixham is situated in a hilly and beautiful country, on the coast of the English Channel, near the southern extremity of Torbay. It is noted in history as the landing-place of William, Prince of Orange, on his arrival in England, on the 4th November, 1688, the event being recorded on a piece of stone, said to be a portion of the rock on which he first set foot, let into the base of a small granite obelisk now standing on the outer pier.
Previous to the time of the French war, Brixham was a small country village-one part, that immediately round the church, inhabited by agriculturists, the other part, near a small jetty about a mile from the church, by fishermen. During the war the place increased rapidly, and was made a market-town in 1799. The two parts of the town, called Higher and Lower, now nearly united, spread in an irregular manner from the water side up the hills, which approach the coast. There are many modern and good houses, some of which are pleasantly seated about the cliffs; but the greater part of the town is in a picturesque valley opening to the quay, and bounded on the E. by the lofty sea-cliffs and Berry Head, the most eastern point of the bay. On the north side of the bay is the fashionable watering place of Torquay, being distant only 5 miles by water, or 9 by the carriage road, from Brixham.
In the lower town, called also Brixham Quay, are the market-house and the custom-house. This is the larger and more important district, containing, according to the census of 1861, 4,581 inhabitants, with rateable property to the value of £5,000. At the close of 1862, a board was formed under the Local Government Act of 1858, for the better cleansing, draining, paving, and lighting this portion of the town. The public rooms, midway between the harbour and the upper extremity of the town, were built in 1835.
The port, which is subordinate to that of Dartmouth, consists of an inner and outer basin, communicating with each other; the former, constructed by the government in 1804, and the latter by the inhabitants about 1830, at a cost of about £5,300. An Act of Parliament was afterwards obtained for enlarging the breakwater, and building an extensive pier, which was commenced in 1843. The number of vessels belonging to the port in 1862 was 100, of an aggregate tonnage of 18,098 tons, value £181,649, besides 215 decked vessels for trawling. Large quantities of turbot, soles, mackerel, and other fish are taken, and exported to London, Bath, Exeter, and Bristol. The fisheries employ about 1,600 seamen, and yield an average of 20 tons of fish weekly. A small lighthouse was built on the pier-head in 1839. Brixham is a coastguard station. The exports consist of iron ore, sheep, and a little malt; the imports, coal from the North, cider, fruit, and cattle from France and the Channel Islands.
Rope-making and ship-building are carried on here extensively. There are several fine limestone quarries in the neighbourhood; also two iron mines on Furzeham Common-one opened in 1841, and the other in 1852; the ore, which is of a light yellow, crops out within a few feet of the surface, and is mixed with yellow ochre, which is manufactured into an excellent pigment and sold to the dockyards. In connection with the mine is a sewage-pipe and ironstone pottery, which renders available the clay thrown out by the miners.
The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Exeter, of the value, with the perpetual ours. of Churston-Ferrers and Kingswear annexed, of £494, in the patronage of the crown. The church stands in the upper town, and is dedicated to St. Mary. It is a spacious ancient edifice in the perpendicular style, with an embattled tower, and was founded in the latter part of the 14th century by the prior of Totnes. It was repaired in 1852, when a new chancel was added at the cost of £700. The east window is of stained glass, and was presented by Sir J. B. Y. Buller, Bart., and the Rev. Robert Holdsworth. In the church are a richly-carved font of the 14th century, several old family monuments, and the cenotaph of Judge Butler. The register dates from the year 1468. A church was built at Lower Brixham, near the quay, in 1820; it has subsequently been enlarged to the extent of 800 sittings, and recently constituted into a district parish: the living is a perpetual curacy,* worth £280, with house and six acres of glebe, in the gift of the crown. There are three chapels in the town, belonging to the Baptists, Wesleyans, and Independents. An endowed school was founded in 1634, the income from endowment being about £100 per annum.
A new National schoolhouse has been erected, capable of accommodating 400 boys and girls, and a British school supported by voluntary contributions. There is also an infant school in a building hired by the incumbent for the purpose; attendance about 120. All the schools are under government inspection. There are several charities, including one for the ransom of poor captives, which produce about £110 per annum.
Laywell, near the upper town, is a curious intermitting spring, usually ebbing and flowing about ten times in an hour, with occasional interruptions of half an hour. At a short distance from the town is the seat of the Right Honourable Lord Churston. The rocks of the district are of the Devonian, or Old Red sandstone formation. They are generally calcareous and fossiliferous. A very extensive bone cavern has lately been discovered, affording many valuable specimens of bones and flint knives. The discoveries made in the systematic examination of this cave will be found in Sir Charles Lyell's "Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man." Berry Head is conjectured to have been the site of a Roman camp, and old coins have been found there.
Tuesday and Saturday are the market days. A fair is held annually on Whit-Monday for the sale of cattle, and one on the two following days for pleasure. A regatta is regularly held in the month of September, in which from thirty to fifty yachts and other vessels compete.
"BOOHAY, a hamlet in the parish of Brixham, hundred of Hayton, in the county of Devon, 4 miles to the N.E. of Dartmouth. It is situated on the coast of the English Channel."
"WOODHUISH, a hamlet in the parish of Brixham, county Devon, 3 miles N.E. of Dartmouth."

Another Look: 2018 Blue-White Game
I finally watched the Blue-White game and boy oh boy do I have some thoughts for you.
By Patrick Koerbler Jul 13, 2018, 7:40am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Another Look: 2018 Blue-White Game
Matthew O'Haren-USA TODAY Sports
So I'm calling this post "Another Look" because that's what I called the Rose Bowl one, and I want to be consistent. But to be honest, this is actually my first time watching the Blue-White game. I didn't go into the game this year (tailgating and was pre-occupied with Game 3 of Sixers-Heat), and never got around to watching it until last night. So, being the blogger that I am, I decided to write down some random thoughts as took in what was the culmination of Penn State's spring practice.
If you'd like to watch it now too since it's Friday in the summer, and no one does work on Fridays in the summer, you can watch so right here.
Kicker wearing No. 97? Sam Ficken? Nope, sophomore walk-on Carson Landis. Judging by his first kickoff, probably not someone we'll see a lot of this coming season.
Offensive line left to right: Ryan Bates, Steven Gonzalez, Connor McGovern, Michal Menet, and Chasz Wright. Those first three seem set, and it would be a minor upset if Menet lost the right guard job. At right tackle, I think we'll see Will Fries in favor Chasz Wright. Fries' improvement last year from the Iowa game to the Fiesta Bowl isn't being talked about enough. With another offseason under his belt, I'm expecting another step forward from the redshirt sophomore.
Love the two-man running back package with Miles Sanders and Mark Allen. That was one of the things I thought we would have seen last year Saquon Barkley and Sanders, but good to see it could be utilized this year. Whether it's Allen, Journey Bown, or true freshman Ricky Slade, Ricky Rahne has a stable of running back that he can get creative with.
McSorley fires a strike to Cam Sullivan-Brown who gets popped by cornerback-turned-safety Lamont Wade. Interesting year coming up for Wade, who will be vying for the starting safety spot opposite Nick Scott. It'd be hard to say who's the favorite between Wade, Garrett Taylor, and Ayron Monroe, but if I were a betting man, I'd probably go with Taylor.
Touchdown, Mac Hippenammer. Excited to see what he brings to the table this year. Was one of those guys in high school who just operated so smoothly. Could see Hippenhammer — along with fellow redshirt freshman KJ Hamler — take hold of the starting punt return spot this year.
Taking a look at the second-team offense, and it's pretty crazy the transformation of the depth Penn State has built on the offensive line the last few years. Dudes like CJ Thorpe and Mike Miranda would have been starters by necessity in their first or second year, but fortunately, Franklin and Limegrover have done a tremendous job rebuilding that unit.
McSorley was lucky that he didn't have two passes picked off by Zech McPhearson — one he really under threw along the sideline on the first drive, and the other one he forced into the end zone on the second drive.
Mark Allen picks up the first down on a 4th and 3. Touched on it a bit earlier, but that second-team running back job will be intriguing to follow. Allen has always looked solid in the little time he's gotten, but I have this weird feeling that it won't take long for Ricky Slade to make his mark with that unit.
Reverse to KJ Hamler, and again, just a reminder of the absurd amount of talent Penn State has offensively. Hamler is going to have his fair share of "Oh, my goodness" plays in 2018. If he didn't tear his ACL the summer before his senior year of high school, I think he would have been a consensus Top 100 recruit.
We're just four minutes into the second quarter, and I'm pretty sure Brelin Faison-Walden has had three blitzes where he jumped the snap count, and yet none of them resulted in sacks. Either way, good to see Faison-Walden healthy. He's just 208 pounds, so hopefully he added some more mass this summer because Penn State could really use some depth from their redshirt freshmen linebackers.
Had to look up No. 90 because I couldn't remember who that was — was pleasantly surprised to see it's former defensive end Damion Barber. Looks like he's benefitted from the switch to defensive tackle. Definitely still has the frame to get bigger, but 6-foot-3, 278 pounds is big enough (for now) to at least provide some depth. Thought he showed some good things during the game.
Nick Tarburton making the move to defensive end right away was a smart idea in my opinion. When an 18-year-old has to slim down to 245 pounds to play linebacker, that's nature's way of saying he isn't going to be a linebacker longterm. Give him a redshirt season as a scout team defensive end, let him pack on more muscle, and we'll see a completely different player next year.
I honestly have no idea what to expect of Micah Parsons. I think it's a lot to ask of a freshman who hasn't ever played linebacker to be a productive college linebacker year one, but regardless, it's fun seeing someone with Parsons' talent rocking No. 11.
Also, unless someone wins a Heisman wearing it, never retire numbers. Seeing guys like Jesse Luketa wear No. 40, Charlie Katshir wear No. 45, and Isaiah Humphries wear No. 2 is what makes tradition-rich places like Penn State so special. There's a standard when a linebacker wears one of those numbers, or when a safety picks No. 2 — let's keep that in place.
No. 41, Dae'lun Darien, now officially at linebacker makes an assisted TFL. He's a big kid at 6-foot-4, 224 pounds, and despite being a redshirt sophomore, he's super young. He won't turn 20 until September 2, which means he's only nine months older than true freshman Micah Parsons. Still a lot of growth potential for Darien.
Finally a Sean Clifford sighting with 1:17 to go in the second. Not really going against the grain here, but Clifford probably has the best chance to takeover the starting quarterback spot in 2020 when Stevens moves on.
Jumping to the White Team's second possession of the second half, and Journey Brown takes a swing pass for a nice gain. For those that don't know, I'm the conductor of the Journey Brown Express. Realize he'll probably only play a minimal role as far as carries go next season, but he's the exact type of athlete I'd love to have at kick returner — 5-foot-11, 210 pounds and runs a sub 4.4? Uh, yes please.
Also while we're here — has the Blue Band always played non-stop during the Blue-White game? I haven't been to the game itself since 2015, but I can't say I remember it back then. Either way, nice touch by Franklin (assuming it's his doing) by making the game seem more real than it is.
Matt Millen mentions that CJ Thorpe is the chippiest lineman at practice, which is good to hear. At 6-foot-3, 322 pounds, Thorpe is a big boy, and it appears that it's only a matter of time before he's a full-time starter. Really bright future for the Penn State legacy.
Jumping to the beginning of the fourth, and maybe it's because he's going against some smaller walk-ons, but Donovan Johnson looks bigger than I expected. Regardless, he made a nice break on the ball. Should keep things close with McPhearson for the fourth cornerback spot.
Zembiec with a 30-is yard run, though I think he would have been tripped up if the defenders would have been allowed to dive. He, and Clifford too, are better athletes than given credit for. Neither are McSorley or Stevens level, but they aren't Hackenberg statues either.
Touchdown, White Team. Zembiec hits tight end Joe Arcangelo in the flats. Millen points it out, but Parsons gave him way too much space down on the goal line. But again, not that crazy that someone who hasn't played linebacker before would struggle in coverage.
To expound on that, I don't think it was necessarily the wrong move to start Parsons at linebacker. Penn State clearly has a big need there — both from a depth and talent perspective — while defensive end is legitimately three-deep. But I'm firmly in the "Parsons will be at defensive end by next year" camp, and if I'm wrong and he turns into a stud linebacker, so be it.
Clifford hits Brandon Polk down the sidelines with under two minutes left in the fourth. Anyone remember his jet sweep against Temple in 2015? We don't talk about anything else in that game, but man, what a weird career so far for Polk. Should be more involved this season though.
Oh, hello — Clifford to Hippenhammer for the touchdown. Good toss by Clifford, but most of that was Hippenhammer beating true freshman Trent Gordon inside, and then the safety (Justin Neff) being late getting over. Nice play though for two guys in Clifford and Hippenhammer who will most likely connect again on a bigger stage in the future.

Spinning fiction from fact
Review by Thane Tierney
Roscoe Arbuckle is tired of being called "Fatty." He's exhausted from riding the celebrity roller coaster from obscurity to renown and back again (with some breathtaking peaks and valleys in between). He wiles away the days hooked on morphine carefully administered by his valet, the only remnant of his fame. Like a trained seal, he performs his final trick: telling his life story in doses as carefully measured as the drug.
Phil Fitch has reached a crossroads in his post-'Nam existence: he can play out a string of low-wage, brain-numbing jobs, or take a crack at two hundred large and retire in comfort. The only hitch is, he's not gambling on slots in Vegas. He's hijacking a plane. In the unlikely event he isn't killed by cops or a faulty parachute, he'll be on the lam forever. After being laid off from his janitorial gig and losing his wife, that doesn't seem like such a bad option.
Phil and Roscoe are people you've heard of, but don't know. The former is infamous plane hijacker D.B. Cooper's alternate identity in Elwood Reid's tautly strung novel, D.
B. (Doubleday, $23.95, 288 pages, ISBN 0385497385). The latter is best known as "Fatty" Arbuckle, film comedy megastar of the 1920s, rendered vividly in Jerry Stahl's highly entertaining I, Fatty. Both Reid (author of If I Don't Six and Midnight Sun) and Stahl (whose Permanent Midnight became a Ben Stiller movie) prove themselves capable practitioners of what might be called fauxography, the part-biography, part-fiction trend that has grown out of the '70s "new journalism" movement. Authors have long been putting words in their characters' mouths, but imagining the life of a real person has its pitfalls. Though weaving fact and fiction can often make for a truer, more revealing portrait of a person than bare fact alone, other people's memories are just waiting out there to indict and contradict one's work. (Just ask Pulitzer prize-winning biographer Edwin Morris, author of Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan.) Fortunately for Reid and Stahl, the subjects of their novels are either little known or little remembered. Each author has breathed the second and third dimensions into these real-life figures, allowing them to emerge from the page into our consciousness.
Fitch/Cooper, a shadowy figure at best, only gained fame as "D.
B." Cooper due to a reporter's error. The known facts are that a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Boeing 727 on Thanksgiving eve in 1971, parachuting out with his $200,000 ransom over Washington state. Reid speculates that Mexico would be the logical place for a man with a large cache of purloined cash and a "wanted" poster. As Cooper immerses himself into the easy life south of the border, his former FBI nemesis attempts a more conventional retirement. When circumstances dictate Cooper's return, Reid expertly renders their pas de deux, ratcheting up the tension to a surprising conclusion.
Roscoe Arbuckle, on the other hand, was, in his day, about as high-profile as they come. Meticulously researched by Stahl, I, Fatty traces Arbuckle's life from unwanted child to silent film superstar to unwitting fall guy for a movie industry demonized by the era's moralists. Told in the first person, it's the kind of celebrity "autobiography" one could only dream of in this era of gatekeeper publicists and spin control. Stahl unravels the film legend's life with a clear-eyed and unsentimental perspective. In one passage, he's asked by a nurse if he is Roscoe Arbuckle. "Well," he replies, "I'd hate to look like this and not be Roscoe Arbuckle." How could you not be charmed by that? Arbuckle's charisma overshadows the fact that he looks like a sideshow freak, is physically and psychically dysfunctional, and spends the last third of the book enduring the effects of two murder trials. He is eventually found innocent of the charges, but this particular phoenix arose from the ashes with both wings charred. Spinning the last of his tale, he wistfully accepts his fate: "I ask you again, what was anything a fat man accomplished? A pile of leaves waiting for a wind." Cooper may still be at large, or he may be among his own pile of leaves somewhere in a Washington forest. It's uncertain whether either he or Arbuckle lived out their days as their fauxographers would have it. But both of these highly engaging novels allow the reader to suspend disbelief and make one wish it were so.
I, Fatty

Q: MySQLi fetch as array ANSWER: It turns out that I had to install mysqlnd through sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd.
I am using PHP and mysqli. How do I fetch data from my database as an array? I currently do this, but i want it as a array:
$stmt = $cxn->prepare('SELECT username, display_name, registered_on, ip_address FROM users WHERE user_id = ?');
$stmt->bind_param('i', $userid);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($username, $display_name, $registered_on, $ip_address);
$stmt->fetch();
$stmt->close();

Thank you

CHARLOTTE INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION SOCIETY HOLDS NETWORKING EVENT PROMOTING CHARLOTTE AS HUB FOR INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
Charlotte, NC | 19 November 2015
John W. Lassiter, Chair of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina presented: "An Update on Economic Development in North Carolina: A Strategic Approach"
In partnership with the international law firm K&L Gates, the Charlotte International Arbitration Society (CIAS) held its fall Open Meeting and International Business Networking event at K&L Gates' offices in the city's Hearst Tower.
The event provided a forum for members of regionally-based international law firms, business executives, civic leaders and elected officials to participate in candid conversations regarding international arbitration's growing importance as Charlotte's influence in the global economy continues to expand. Keynote speaker John W. Lassiter, Chair of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, not only emphasized Charlotte's central role in international business, but he also highlighted the link between international arbitration and economic growth.
"North Carolina's engagement in the international marketplace depends on organizations such as the Charlotte International Arbitration Society to show our foreign trading partners that we are committed to all aspects of international trade, including efficient and cost-effective dispute resolution services," Mr. Lassiter said.
The event also sent a strong message to business leaders in the region. As CIAS Chairman and President Chase Saunders recalled, the networking event allowed some of the region's most accomplished leaders to position their businesses for greater growth in the coming year.
"Thanks to our partners and sponsors, including K&L Gates, Moore & Van Allen, Cranfill Sumner & Hartzog, Bridgehouse Law and Alan Gordon Immigration Law our final event of the year was a tremendous success," Mr. Saunders said. "We had legislators, honorary consuls, international banking and legal professionals, exporters and supply chain experts, law professors, manufacturers and distributors in attendance. This confirmed that there is an appreciation of the mission of the CIAS, which is to serve the business communities in both North and South Carolina with a convenient venue for the arbitration of contested commercial matters."
Also participating in the event was State Senator Jeff Jackson, who represents Charlotte and the surrounding Mecklenburg County.
"The Charlotte metropolitan region is not only one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, but it's also a leader in attracting international business to the area," Senator Jackson said. "The work of the Charlotte International Arbitration Society is an important part of North Carolina's economic future as the organization continues to build its education and outreach programs to promote a legal and business climate that welcomes international commerce and global trade."
CIAS Vice Chair Carolyn Dubay detailed that work in her presentation by providing some compelling facts and figures about global trends favoring international arbitration over traditional litigation. According to Ms. Dubay, who will serve as an arbitrator in the world's largest international arbitration moot court in Vienna in 2016, "the numbers tell an important story not only about an increasing preference for arbitration, but also a global commitment to find common ground among businesses, lawyers, arbitrators, domestic courts and lawmakers to facilitate international commerce."
Belk, Inc. attorney Luther Moore led a lively panel discussion on International Arbitration and Business Development. The panelists answered questions on why arbitration is important to business growth and how holding international arbitration in Charlotte benefits the Carolinas. Panelists included Norma Abbene of the global strategic consulting firm Abbene | Smith Global LLC; Reinhard von Hennigs, managing partner at Bridgehouse Law; Kaumil Shah of GreerWalker LLP; and Mica Nguyen Worthy of Cranfill Sumner & Hartzog.
"Attendees at CIAS' open meeting asked great questions about the relationship between international arbitration and economic development opportunities in North Carolina," Ms. Nguyen Worthy said. "My colleagues and I see the expansion of international arbitration into the Charlotte metropolitan region as an opportunity to provide additional services and meet the unique international needs our clients are facing in the global economy, and in this way we seek to provide broader and better legal services to our clients."
"Today's business climate requires that we go beyond conventional strategies and partner in innovative ways to promote sustainable, long-term growth," Mrs. Abbene said. "CIAS is focused on creating those partnerships. The Society creates a bridge between the international legal and business communities and fosters opportunities that bring economic benefits not only to its clients, but to the entire regional economy of the Carolinas as well."
Kaumil Shah of GreerWalker agrees.
"Having the resources and ability to conduct international arbitration in Charlotte, NC is part of the legal infrastructure required to attract and retain not only foreign-owned businesses, but it also provides a higher level of certainty for U.S. businesses that have investments overseas," Mr. Shah said.
That sentiment was echoed by panelist Reinhard von Hennigs of BridgehouseLaw LLP.
"Many foreign companies that are interested in relocating to the Carolinas are afraid of litigation in the United States," Mr. von Hennigs said. "Having local arbitration based in Charlotte eases and reduces this concern. This will motivate international companies to open their U.S. subsidiaries here in Charlotte. The benefit will also be a growth of employment in the Carolinas through foreign direct investment. It would also benefit domestic companies to export internationally. Charlotte companies would get a 'home turf' advantage in their international dealings."
About CIAS
Based in Charlotte, NC, CIAS was created to promote the use of Charlotte, with its international airport hub and amenities, as the most convenient venue and seat for international commercial arbitration involving businesses engaged in international commerce in North Carolina and South Carolina.
International Arbitration Seminar held in Raleigh, NC on September 16, 2015
Raleigh, NC | 16 September 2015
William Harazin, CIAS Director (K&L Gates)
On September 16, 2015 J.P. Duffy (K&L Gates Partner, New York) and Dan Stephenson (K&L Gates Partner, Raleigh) presented at the Research Triangle Are Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (RTAC-ACC) Lunch and Learn: "The Benefits of International Arbitration for Cross-Border Transactions." They provided an overview of alternative dispute resolutions options, advantages and disadvantages of each, and the benefits of international arbitration as the chosen dispute resolution mechanism for cross-border transactions.
J.P. Duffy (K&L Gates Partner, New York) argued that International Commercial Arbitration is the preferred method of dispute resolution for cross-border transactions because it offers superior neutrality, confidentiality, flexibility and enforceability of both clauses and awards. After discussing the benefits of international commercial arbitration, Mr. Duffy offered clause drafting tips, including the best arbitral seats, institutions and governing laws for various jurisdictions. Additionally, Mr. Duffy addressed investment treaty arbitration and the need for parties investing outside their home jurisdiction to consider investment treaty protection and treaty structuring.
Dan Stephenson (K&L Gates Partner, Raleigh) offered the question: which is better – arbitration or litigation? Sometimes you have no choice, but when you do, there are some situations where international arbitration is the best answer. Two such scenarios are (1) when a U.S. corporation is involved in a dispute centered outside the U.S., and (2) when a non-U.S. company encounters a U.S.-based dispute. In the former scenario, international arbitration allows the corporation to use its trusted U.S. counsel who already knows the company, the documents, and the witnesses. In the latter scenario, international arbitration can avoid intrusive, far-ranging discovery and the biases against foreigners that some jurors bring to the table. Having an arbitration clause is best, of course, but even if you don't have one, it's still possible to arbitrate by post-dispute agreement. A seasoned expert can guide you through the process.
INTERNATIONAL LAW SYMPOSIUM WITH ANNE MARIE WHITESELL, FORMER SECRETARY OF THE ICC
Charlotte, NC | 12 June 2015
On June 12, 2015, the Charlotte International Arbitration Society (CIAS) hosted its first International Law Symposium. ParkerPoe was the presenting sponsor and provided the wonderful presentation space for the event. Cranfill, Sumner & Hartzog LLP, Greer Walker, Moore & Van Allen and K&L Gates were title sponsors.
The 2015 International Law Symposium emphasized the topic of international contract drafting with keynote speaker Anne Marie Whitesell of the International Law Institute. Ms. Whitesell is a Professor of Law at Georgetown University and is a faculty director at the International Law Institute. She is the former secretary of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), International Court of Arbitration.
Ms. Whitesell began her keynote presentation with a discussion regarding the specific characteristics of international commercial arbitration. She also discussed the various advantages and disadvantages of arbitration compared to litigation. Ms. Whitesell informed that the number of international arbitration cases is rising significantly as the world is becoming more globalized. As an example, the number of new cases filed with the ICC in 1992 was 337, while last year, in 2014, the number of new cases reached 791.
Ms. Whitesell then turned her attention to the key drafting issues with arbitration clauses in contracts. She discussed the importance of the venue of the arbitration. The place of the arbitration becomes the legal "seat" for procedural matters and is the location where the court will provide a supervisory role. Importantly, with international arbitrations, if the location of the arbitration is in a common law country, then typically the Chairman of the arbitral tribunal will also be from a common law tradition, as compared to a civil law tradition.
Attorney John Branson of ParkerPoe then facilitated a very interesting discussion between Ms. Whitesell and attorney David Branson, partner of King Branson. Mr. David Branson has been involved in a number of international arbitrations and at the time of the Symposium was involved in a case where issues of a pathological arbitration clause had arisen.
Ms. Whitesell and Mr. Branson then debated on two "hot topic" issues in international arbitration: Whether arbitrations are "just another form of litigation" and whether there is a value or disservice in having party-appointed arbitrators.
After the intriguing debate, the participants were divided into two rooms for breakout sessions. One breakout session discussed updates and issues in Bills of Lading presented by Sheila Cox, President of Global Match, LLC. The other breakout session focused on the issues with and use of INCOTERMS® in international contracts, presented by Mica Nguyen Worthy, attorney with Cranfill Sumner & Hartzog LLP. The participants asked great questions and had the opportunity to discuss the impact of the issues raised in the two break-out sessions.
After the official program ended, the participants then enjoyed networking at the Happy Hour reception. There were over 45 registered attendees, including attorneys and in-house counsel from various firms and companies in both North and South Carolina.

Monday Memo: We're Late
TALKERS | November 29, 2021
By Holland Cooke
BLOCK ISLAND, RI — Like those network spots for "The Ben Ferguson Podcast" that air on many talk stations, TV networks are using their affiliates' air to divert viewing to their own digital platforms. Some network-produced shows being promoted are only available on streams. "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" is shown on Peacock before it airs on NBC at 11:35 pm.
It gets worse. The extended Dish Network/Tegna stand-off over lucrative retransmission fees stations charge cable and satellite providers blacked-out CBS stations I tried to tune-into in hotel rooms in Washington and Texas in the last two weeks, in the middle of football season.
Like the bookstores and stock brokers and travel agents and other middlemen who were early casualties, the Internet is squeezing-out stations…and networks. Major league games are now seen on YouTube and other newcomer platforms with enough do-re-mi to out-bid traditional networks.
"In order to stay relevant, TV news must change with the times"
"The solution," according to "The Future of TV News Won't be on TV" at Variety.com, "is to knock down the walls and distribute everywhere free and ad-supported."
Smart TV stations are doubling-down on local news, which, eventually, could be all they program, and distribute digitally.
While streaming eats music radio's lunch, non-music stations are less necessary for weather and traffic and news…and the ability to argue about the news, which we now do via social media, a more-interactive experience than monologue-laden talk radio.
Stare at this:
We-who-power-the-towers are late, if we still regard digital content as an adjunct
Podcasting is "The darling of the audio realm," according to The Wall Street Journal, which estimates a billion dollars will be spent on advertising there this year.
And a recent Cigar Aficionado article on Spotify's $100 million podcaster Joe Rogan notes that "he's reaching an audience greater than any news program (which top out at about three million viewers)."
How do stations compete with THAT?
"W.S.O.D.W.O.W.C.D."
Translation: We should only do what only we can do.
Do what Joe Rogan cannot: Local.
Local news: With newspapers in a tailspin, this oh-so-sponsorable content is worth staffing…IF it's relevant and useful and well-written and fresh.
Localize "The Big Story," in the manner I described in a recent column here: This very week, listeners (and advertisers) are hip-deep in the holiday shopping aspects of the supply chain, inflation, and COVID stories that change everyday life.
Localize what's otherwise just data: Smartphones deliver stock quotes from Wall Street. Report what's happening on your town's Main Street like Joe Connolly does weekday mornings at :25 and :55 on WCBS.
Local hosts: Don't just ape the national political narrative. If you must, at least do two-way radio. Callers' accents are local.
And be as smartphone and smart-speaker-friendly as possible.
And because broadcast listeners are, increasingly, also digital audio consumers, use your air to invite them to hear your own on-demand content. At client stations, we use on-air spots (disguised as informative features) to invite those-interested to hear/read/see more from the advertiser online.

Governor Polis
FIRMLY PLANTED: Democratic Congressional Hopeful Won't Live in District Unless He's Elected
Jason Crow, the Democratic establishment pick who hopes to unseat the indefatigable Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, has an unusual campaign strategy – he will not move into the District unless he is elected. His refusal to move into the district prior to winning does not exactly inspire confidence in his confidence that he can unseat Coffman, who has destroyed every single challenger despite being in one of the most competitive districts in the country. And, let's not forget, he lied about it.
When Crow launched his campaign, he told reporters that he planned to move into the district shortly, and then last week, Crow told The Villager that would move "as soon as we can."
Today, he told another publication that he plans to move only if he wins.
So, which is it, Mr. Crow?
Further, as was pointed out on Twitter, this strange refusal to move into the district he hopes to represent also means that he will not be able to vote for himself come election day. We guess the eponymous candidate voting photo will have little meaning since on his ballot will be checked Diana Degette (we presume, since he's a Democratic establishment shill).
Crow, despite being apparently backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, may have a primary ahead of him. Rumor has it that Democratic state Sen. Rhonda Fields and state Rep. Janet Buckner also were or are considering running for the seat. It's unclear why the DCCC would back a guy who refuses to move into the district when there are two perfectly capable (although still going to lose) candidates who live in the district.
Nonetheless, we will be waiting for Crow to take a photo with his ballot (ballot selfies are legal!) and mock his inability to vote for himself. After all, with potential primary candidates like Fields and Buckner and a general candidate like Coffman, Crow will need all the votes he can muster.

Giants' Larry Baer to return as CEO; has less power as organization changes leadership structure

By Kerry Crowley | kcrowley@bayareanewsgroup.com |
PUBLISHED: June 29, 2019 at 11:06 a.m. | UPDATED: June 30, 2019 at 5:04 a.m.
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer is expected to return from his three-month suspension on Tuesday, July 2, but Baer will not have the same level of power within the organization.
The Giants announced Saturday that Baer will rejoin the franchise in his prior role, but the franchise will make changes to its leadership structure. Baer, 62, is no longer the Giants' "control person" with Major League Baseball as that role has been given to Rob Dean, who served as the interim CEO while Baer was suspended. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi will report to Dean, who has become a more visible face of the franchise over the last three months.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced on March 26 that Baer would be suspended without pay after Baer was involved in a public altercation with his wife, Pam, in San Francisco.
The incident took place on March 1 and Baer was soon placed on a leave of absence. The Giants selected Dean, the son-in-law of the late Giants' part-owner Harmon Burns, to serve as the team's interim CEO after Baer's leave began.

In recent weeks, some high-ranking members of the Giants organization speculated that Dean would retain the role of CEO with Baer losing the title upon the conclusion of Baer's suspension, but Baer has been granted the opportunity to transition back into his previous role. It is possible, however, that in his new capacity as the team's control person, Dean will become the face of the franchise from the perspective of ownership while Baer fades into the background.
In a statement released by the franchise's board of directors, the Giants said that Dean and Baer will both represent the franchise with MLB. In his role as the chairman and control person, Dean will collaborate with the Giants' executive team on major organizational issues.
Baer released his own statement through the Giants on Saturday, noting that his time away from the club has been "difficult on many levels" and that the "overwhelming emotion I feel right now is gratitude."
"I write this today after four months away from the Giants, the team I have loved since childhood and the organization I have served most of my adult life," Baer said in his statement. "Our hundreds of Giants employees, millions of Giants fans and the community-at-large have been on my mind every day, and I am truly sorry for letting you down."
The statement issued by the Giants' board of directors said that Baer participated in a counseling program and recommitted himself to the organization during his time away from the club. Upon returning, Baer will "initially focus on reconnecting with the employees and receiving updates on all aspects of the organization."
Baer has not discussed his role in his altercation with his wife, Pam, in any public interviews, but he did address the incident in a statement released through the Giants following his suspension.
"I made a serious mistake that I sincerely regret and I am truly sorry for my actions," Baer said. "My unacceptable behavior fell well short of what must be demanded of every person, particularly someone in my position and role in the community."

Cabarrus County is responsible for assessing, billing and collecting taxes on registered motor vehicles for months that were previously untaxed between the registration and renewal dates. This is known as gap billing.
The N.C. General Assembly established the requirements and procedures to conduct gap billing in 2017.
WHAT IS GAP BILLING OF PROPERTY TAXES FOR UNREGISTERED VEHICLES?
Gap billing of property taxes occurs when there is a lapse in property tax billing for one or more months between the expiration of a vehicle's registration and the renewal of that registration or the issuance of a new registration. During the "gap," the vehicle is unregistered.
WHY DID I RECEIVE A GAP PROPERTY TAX NOTICE?
DOES THE PROPERTY TAX I PAID WHEN I RENEWED MY REGISTRATION APPLY TO THE GAP BILLING PERIOD?
HOW MANY MONTHS CAN A GAP PROPERTY TAX NOTICE COVER?
Appeals of value, taxing location and/or taxability must be filed with the County Assessor's Office within 30 days of the due date shown on the notice. The letter of appeal should detail your reason for appeal and include any documentation that will assist us in reviewing the account.
The bill is due on the September 1st that follows the notice and is payable without interest through the following January 5th.
HOW CAN I PAY THE GAP PROPERTY TAX?
Paid in person at the Cabarrus County Government Center Tax Collections office at 65 Church St. SE, Concord. Payment is accepted Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
