    Should you read this book? If you think it is interesting that on September 11, 2001, Flight 77 reportedly hit the 77 foot tall Pentagon, in Washington D.C. on the 77th Meridian West, after taking off at 8:20 AM and crashing at 9:37 AM, 77 minutes later, then this book is for you. Furthermore, if you can comprehend that there is a code of numbers behind the letters of the English language, as simple as A, B, C is 1, 2, 3, and using this code reveals that phrases and names such as ‘September Eleventh’, ‘World Trade Center’ and ‘Order From Chaos’ equate to 77, this book is definitely for you. And please know, these are all facts, just the same as it is a fact that Pentagon construction began September 11, 1941, just prior to Pearl Harbor.

The idea of having esports in high schools was brought up around two years ago, but the official announcement was made in September of 2019, according to Chris Fahey, the Director of Corporate Sponsorship for CIF.

  • Image Reparation Strategies in Sports: Media Analysis of Kobe Bryant and Barry Bonds
    Image Reparation Strategies in Sports by Jennifer Kennedy 95 Image Reparation Strategies in Sports: Media Analysis of Kobe Bryant and Barry Bonds Jennifer Kennedy* * Senior majoring in Corporate Communications Elon University Abstract The professional sports world is plagued with scandal. Two such scandals with important implications were sexual assault charges brought against NBA star Kobe Bryant and the charges brought against BALCO Laboratories in a process that implicated MLB star Barry Bonds. By examining media coverage of these two athletes surrounding the scandals, one can discern what image reparation strategies work in the athlete’s favor and which work against the athlete. This gives public relations professionals in the sport industry guide- lines to follow in establishing and maintaining an athlete’s positive image throughout a scandal. I. Introduction Fans expect a lot from sporting celebrities, and though they constantly want to know more about them, fans are quick to judge any problems or imperfect qualities (Summers and Johnson Morgan, 2008). However, fans seem to forgive some athletes faster than they forgive others, if they forgive at all, when indis- cretions occur. Why do we forgive some athletes and not others? From what types of scandals is it easier for an athlete to recover? What mitigating circumstances must exist for an athlete to be forgiven? How should athletes respond when involved in a negative situation? A review of literature demonstrates that little research has been published in the realm of image re- pair strategies of Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), and National Football League (NFL) players. This paper serves to inform sports public relations professionals of appropriate strate- gies to use in the image repair and restoration process following a scandal.

    Joining the World of Journals Welcome to the nation’s first and, to our knowledge, only undergraduate research journal in communi- cations. We discovered this fact while perusing the Web site of the Council on Undergraduate Research, which lists and links to the 60 or so undergraduate research journals nationwide (http://www.cur.org/ugjournal. html). Some of these journals focus on a discipline (e.g., Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics), some are university-based and multidisciplinary (e.g., MIT Undergraduate Research Journal), and some are university-based and disciplinary (e.g., Furman University Electronic Journal in Undergraduate Mathematics). The Elon Journal is the first to focus on undergraduate research in journalism, media and communi- cations. The School of Communications at Elon University is the creator and publisher of the online journal. The first issue was published in Spring 2010 under the editorship of Dr. Byung Lee, associate professor in the School of Communications. The three purposes of the journal are: • To publish the best undergraduate research in Elon’s School of Communications each term, • To serve as a repository for quality work to benefit future students seeking models for how to do undergraduate research well, and • To advance the university’s priority to emphasize undergraduate student research. The Elon Journal is published twice a year, with spring and fall issues. Articles and other materials in the journal may be freely downloaded, reproduced and redistributed without permission as long as the author and source are properly cited. Student authors retain copyright own- ership of their works. Celebrating Student Research This journal reflects what we enjoy seeing in our students -- intellectual maturing.

Here’s the drill Returning to the dentist during the COVID-19 pandemic will mean some big changes. (Steven Banks / Los Angeles Times; Getty) By ADAM TSCHORN | SENIOR FEATURES WRITER JULY 2, 2020 | 2:28 PM https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2020-07-02/going-next-dentist-visit-coronavirus-era-changes 1/12 8/26/2020 I went to the dentist during coronavirus. Here's what I saw - Los Angeles Times Even if you’ve read about all the safety precautions dentists are taking to protect themselves and their patients in the new COVID-wary environment, you’re probably still more reluctant than usual to make a date with the chair. And you’re not alone. According to a June 15 survey by the American Dental Assn., patient volume is at 65% of pre-COVID levels (although that’s up markedly from the 38% of normal patient traffic reported in mid-May). I, too, was in the “thanks-but-no” camp, having successfully shunted off, for nearly an entire calendar quarter, a long-scheduled dental cleaning. Then, in early June, barely two weeks after my dentist opened her practice back up for non-emergency procedures, a throbbing back left molar had me gritting my teeth, biting the bullet and opening wide. And guess what? Although there were some procedural differences — and a whole lot of safety signage on display — it wasn’t markedly different than it had been before.
