On September 15, 2016, during a lunch event in Charlotte where McCrory was expected to take questions from reporters, McCrory avoided questions about House Bill 2 by instead responding to questions provided to him by his staff. "The Charlotte Observer" reported that three of the questions were incorrectly attributed to them. When a reporter for "The Charlotte Observer" tried to ask McCrory a question afterwards, he responded by saying, "We've got three "Observer" questions answered already. I think you guys dominate the news enough."

In addition to the above products, Ferrara also produced Jawbreakers, Boston Baked Beans, Red Hots (cinnamon imperials), Long Fellers (panned licorice pieces), Gr-r-r-oats, and a minty chewing gum called Try-umph.

The LCBL's vote is far more democratic; each elector only votes once. The 23 players on each team select their peers, with some stipulations. They cannot vote for members of the other conference. Put another way, no team is permitted to pick their opposition. This prevents one conference from stuffing the ballot with the weakest players in the other conference.

The adamantite dragon's second breath weapon projects an area of time stop. It has the same dimensions as the cone of flame. Anyone caught in the area must save vs., spells or be affected as if by a time stop spell cast at 20th level of magic use - This breath weapon may only be used on the dragon's home plane (Twin Paradises), when the dragons are defending the plane, and even then only one time per day.

After the participants leave, the volunteers dismantle temporary buildings, clean the garbage and leave themselves.

In 2011/12 before its transfer to Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision, RNZ Sound Archives had expenditure of $884,000. By 2014/15, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision's Radio Division (i.e. the former RNZ Sound Archive) had expenditure of $823,335. However, by November 2016, and shortly before Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision closed the former RNZ Sound Archive preservation facility in Christchurch, the archive said it was only spending approximately $430,000 per annum to run the Christchurch operation. This included rent, salaries and office overheads.

On April 21, 2016, Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office issued a travel advisory directed at their LGBT citizens visiting the United States, specifically North Carolina and Mississippi. In it, they said, "The U.S. is an extremely diverse society and attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country. LGBT travellers may be affected by legislation passed recently in the states of North Carolina and Mississippi." The Human Rights Campaign called it "both frightening and embarrassing that one of our nation's staunchest allies has warned its citizens of the risks" of travel.

In addition to sales of their own products, Ferrara Pan also acted as a distributor for products such as Kraft Toblerone chocolates. When Kraft ended that relationship in 2008, Ferrara invested more than $20 million in 2009 to develop and distribute its own version of a product with very similar packaging and characteristics of the lost Toblerone line. This product is no longer available.

Also, players cannot select members of their own team. In essence, the players must look to the other teams in their conference and honestly select those that they trust in a pivotal game. Rather than a popularity contest or the staleness of players selecting only their own, LCBL voters must put some thought into the ballot. Receiving a peer vote is the ultimate sign of respect; a non-teammate selection recognizes a rival's talent enough to count on him to win the game. And that is where the voting format forces competitors to unify for a common purpose: team allegiances take a back seat to that of the conference. Players get tired of hearing that the weekend (or the weekday) is where the best talent in the league plays. The All-Star Game is the pinnacle bragging rights game, allowing players to settle it on the field. The winning conference sends a representative to the home dugout for the Discovery Cup Championship a month later.

Habitat/Society: The adamantite dragons are the self-appointed guardians of the Twin Paradises. These great creatures are extremely powerful and will come to the aid of any intelligent creature. They are unconcerned with law or chaos, but only the protection of sentient lifeforms.

LCBL managers submit 12 All-Star candidates (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, DH, SP, SP, RP) to the league by mid-June. All the manager's selections are assembled into team-specific ballots. Players on the Travelers, for example, receive a paper ballot with 60 names: 12 members, arranged by position, from each of the five other Lewis Conference teams. Voters select one player in each positional category (three outfielders, three pitchers). With each team's entire roster, manager, assistant coach, and five members of the LCBL administrative staff all voting, a unanimous All-Star selection would receive 135 votes (5 teams x 23 players + 5 managers + 5 coaches + 5 executives).

Ecology: Adamantite dragons have little place in the ecosystem of the Twin Paradises, They can, however, be avaricious hunters with huge appetites. Adamantite dragons have no moral objection to hunting unintelligent life forms.

On May 12, 2016, the European Union criticized North Carolina for House Bill 2, as well as Mississippi for the Religious Liberty Accommodations Act and Tennessee for SB 1556. The official statement read:

After a hundred years in business, the families controlling the company had grown in numbers, and splintered in what they wanted from the company. Dividends, capital appreciation, positions for themselves and family members, and/or power and prestige.

The roster is filled to a maximum of 26 players, based on the ballot results. Each conference's top two vote-getters at catcher, first, second, short, third, and designated hitter serve as the respective starters and back-ups. Each roster takes six outfielders, with their rank and alignment up to the discretion of the All-Star manager. The same is true for the eight pitchers (regardless of role) with the highest vote totals. Keeping in line with major league formalities, the managers from the previous season's Discovery Cup Championship call the shots in the All-Star Game. All other league managers serve as bench coaches.

The league also has various senior directors that serve as the trusted advisory staff to the Executive Committee. Each presents a skill set that supplements the general promotion of the league, beyond the local area. Through website design, social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, or even word-of-mouth marketing in different regions, the advisory staff works hard to spread the brand to all corners of the country. They are also the key pieces in the fundraising efforts that take place throughout the calendar year. LCBL staff are friends and family of the executives, using their valuable time to volunteer to plan the Double Play Benefit during the All-Star Game. The league even organizes an annual Festivus party to thank everyone in the LCBL family for their dedicated work.

For the first time, the "School of volunteers" was held from 9 to 14 July 2017 at the Borodino field, just before the festival held there. In the future, the "School of volunteers" came during the 7 days immediately before the festival. In addition to studying at the "School of volunteers" its students had to study and deal with the device of the festival camp. On the last day of the "School..." a "trust trail" was held, which was a series of tests aimed at ensuring that volunteers unconditionally trusted and came to the aid of each other if needed.

Not just a stepping stone for players and coaches, the LCBL is also a developmental league for umpires. The Lewis & Clark Umpiring Association (LCUA) was founded in 2013, at the culmination of the inaugural campaign. The initial player and coach feedback regarding the umpires who worked league games in year one was all positive, so Mahrt decided to lock them in for years to come. To effectively entice the area's best collegiate umpires take part, he created an association to provide them with consistent work and training. Built to rival the Greater St. Louis (GSL) Umpiring Association, the LCUA does for umpires what the LCBL sets out to do for its student-athletes: return a higher quality product to the college ranks in the Fall.

The association empowers each umpire with a stake in the success of the league and the security of administrative support. With "Lewis & Clark" in the name of their association, an incentive is put in place for the umpires to take tremendous pride in their work. The familiar branding presents an opportunity for umpires to advance to the next tier of baseball as the league gains notoriety. In essence, the league belongs as much to the umpires as much about them "finding their way" as anyone.
