"Challenges come to teach us something, to make us stronger, or to shatter our belief system about what we can and can't overcome. Once we understand the real purpose of whatever challenge we face, we will see the truth: there are no obstacles. Only opportunities to grow." ~ Yehuda Berg
Conflict as Metaphor
By Elizabeth English
"If you build it, they will come!" The skillful use of metaphor can give visible shape to a character and recognizable, believable impetus to conflicts in film. The deeper meaning of a situation becomes clear and powerful to the varied cinema audience, when metaphors for conflict are utilized. The film, "Field of Dreams", is one example of strong use of this device. Put in the simplest terms, a farmer, played by Kevin Costner, down on his luck (conflict), is advised by a voice only he hears, to build a baseball diamond in his cornfield in Iowa. He fights with his wife, his friends and the bank over this wildly improbable notion (conflicts). He builds the baseball diamond anyway, always believing in his dream, though he has no idea why he does it (conflict). He just "has to". He solicits the reluctant help of a famous & combative author (conflict), and a long-dead doctor. The ghosts of former baseball players, including the farmer's deceased father, appear. The film ends with the farmer finally playing catch with his father and rectifying past wrongs, the doctor saves the life of the farmer's child (conflict), the author goes to his fate, peacefully at last, and the financial fate of the farm and his family is salvaged when long lines of cars arrive with paying baseball fans (solution to conflicts).
The farm itself is a metaphor for one's career or chosen path in life, which is in conflict with the protagonist's social and situational milieu. The cornfield/baseball diamond is a metaphor depicting a small portion of that life, but which affects and is in conflict with all other parts of his life. The farmer is Everyman/woman. The wife, the child, the friends and relatives, the bankers, the author and the doctor, as well as the ghostly baseball players and the neighbors, are all recognizable and human metaphors, to whom the audience can relate, for conflicts in one person's life; past, present and future. The farmer's character is identified by his conflicts and how he deals with them.
Visual metaphors can speak directly and visibly to our characters' conflicting feelings and emotions, when used to convey abstractions, such as death, love, fear, joy. A bare winter field can convey death or hopelessness as the character trudges across the frozen wasteland; a bright red balloon floating upward into a blue summer sky can impart happiness or a character surpassing expectations, a sense of freedom, irreplaceable loss, a letting go, or even childlike emotions of simple joy. A woman sadly gazing into pieces of a broken mirror tells the audience more about her personal conflict than does a page of dialog. In the short film, "The Unique Oneness of Christian Savage", a child's best friend falls from the tall tree in which they were playing, and is killed…the surviving child runs from the pious words spoken at the funeral and grabs a broken tree branch, and beats at the "evil" tree that killed his little friend. Conflict in film made visible and powerful! And without a single word of dialog.
NORMA RAE tells the story of a factory worker, played by Sally Field, from a small town in North Carolina, who becomes involved in the labor union activities at the textile factory where she works, a cotton mill that has taken too much of a toll on the health of her family for her to ignore her Dickensian working conditions. The young mother and textile worker agrees to help unionize her mill despite the problems and dangers involved. After hearing a speech by New York union organizer Reuben Warshowsky, Norma Rae decides to join the effort to unionize her shop. This causes conflict at home when Norma Rae's husband says she's not spending enough time in the home.
The film "Cool Hand Luke" beautifully shows the conflict between the protagonist/hero, Luke, played by Paul Newman, and his captors, who are inhumanly cruel and evil and hold all the cards. Luke seems to have no hope of escape or of retribution., though he makes every effort, only to be doomed to return to solitary confinement over and over, and to further punishment.
Similarly, the film "The Great Escape", starring the late Steve McQueen, is filled with conflict against the Nazi captors, who are in conflict with the prisoners who try to escape, and whom are killed or re-captured for their trouble. Some other powerful examples of well-written conflict in film are "Babette's Feast", "Dersu Uzala", "American Beauty", "Jules et Jim", "The Bagdad Café", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Dr. Strangelove", "The Virgin Spring", "Mulan", "Sophie's Choice", "The Life of Pi", "Midnight Cowboy" and "La Strada", to name just a few.
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, is about two of the most memorable, conflicted characters in movie history, Clarice Starling, played by Jodi Foster, and Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, and their strange, strained relationship. Both are ostracized by the worlds they want to inhabit–Lecter, by the human race because he is a serial killer and a cannibal, and Clarice, by the law enforcement profession because she is a woman. Both feel powerless–Lecter because he is locked in a maximum security prison and Clarice because she is surrounded by men who tower over her and fondle her with their eyes. (excerpted & adapted from a Roger Ebert review)
There are five distinct types of conflict that can be utilized in screenwriting. Inner or personal conflict, relational conflict, social or local conflict, situational conflict, and universal or cosmic conflict. All five types of conflict can be in a single screenplay, and can involve most, if not all of the characters, interacting with each other and with the protagonist and antagonist(s).
Conflict as the central event drives the story and the characters. Conflict in the plot structure breathes life into your story! The audience relates to your protagonist and to the conflicts he or she faces. The patterns of tension resulting from the visible and invisible forces the characters overcome create a believable reality for the filmgoer, and increase the film's impact on that audience.
Inner conflict is the hardest type of conflict to convey successfully in a film, if that's the central focus of conflict in the story. It's also the most difficult kind of screenplay to sell, despite the recent success of such films about inner, personal conflict, like "American Beauty". In the comedy, "Tootsie", the protagonist goes through conflict with his original situation (poverty, wanting to be a great actor), to personal conflict (lack of confidence in his ability to pull off the scam), relational (falling in love with a woman who thinks the protagonist is a woman), social conflict (with his boss and co-workers, friends, the father of the woman he loves, and his TV audience), and another situational conflict (should he let the cat out of the bag in order to win the heart of the woman he loves?). Only when inner, societal, situational, or universal conflict is projected outward toward another character, and becomes relational, and is therefore the basis of the clear story-line, does it have the most dramatic impact. THELMA & LOUISE, starring Susan Sarandon & Geena Davis, Before their journey is done, these two conflicted characters will have undergone a difficult rite of passage, and will have finally discovered themselves.
The wildly-popular American TV reality series, "Survivor", is an archetypal example of strong conflicts among a group of people, and of those clear conflicts driving the "story". The producers and directors of the reality-based series emphasize conflicts when editing each week's film footage. The millions of fanatic audience members cared about the characters, or they hated them. The TV viewers hoped that their favorites remained on the island, jungle or various exotic locations, and that one of them would win the prize. They argued on internet chat rooms and message boards, and around the office water cooler or in the halls at school about complete strangers whom they perceived to be bad guys or good guys worthy of achieving the show's goal, of winning the million dollars, despite the characters' conflicts with isolation, hunger, danger, competition with the other "tribe", and with each other. Same with "Downton Abbey", "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", "The Simpsons" and "American Idol". Conflict, conflict, conflict!
THE COLOR PURPLE, As a young teenager, Celie, played by Whoopi Goldberg, is raped by the man she takes to be her father, and both of her babies are taken away from her. Told she cannot have more children, she is given to a brutal farmer named Mister (Danny Glover), who beats her, uses her as a servant and as a receptacle for his lust, and convinces her she is ugly, but we can empathize with her struggle and ultimate victory. We learn something about what it must have been like to be her, and share her conflicts. Celie is a great & powerful movie character, played with astonishing grace and tenderness, and to feel her story is to be blessed with her humanity. (excerpted & adapted from a Roger Ebert review)
Conflict is the ultimate basis of dramas, action films and comedies, and is the key ingredient for great characterizations and is key to a successful screenplay and film. All conflict occurs when a character has a goal that is not shared with another character, whether it's the protagonist and antagonist, &/or secondary characters in the story. One will win and the other will lose, or may come around to the viewpoint and goals of the main character. Build each hurdle or obstacle your protagonist faces higher than the last. Make each subsequent conflict be more insurmountable or impossible than the one before.
In a film, the audience comes to observe and to experience the story's conflicts and the expected or surprising conclusion. The audience wants the protagonist to have as much trouble reaching his or her goal as is possible. The antagonist must be as strong as, or stronger than, the protagonist. The more powerful and persuasive the antagonist, the greater the eventual victory is for the protagonist. The last five or ten pages of the script should play out the final conflict and answer the question whether the central character will realize his or her goal.

NY Times, January 22, 2013
In my experience, one of the surest ways to kill the creative energy of a work of fiction at its inception is with an outline. During my early years as a writer I dutifully worked with the outlines of my youth. However, the longer I wrote, the more loose the structure of those outlines became. The numbers and letters gradually transformed into bulleted key words or bolded phrases, little Hansel and Gretel bread crumbs I left for myself to find and expand during revision. Later on, I wrote in stages, first blocking out the general parameters of my piece, then going back to fill in the details. It's much the same way a sculptor begins by carving into a hunk of raw clay with broad strokes to determine the proportions of the limbs before going into muscles, veins and fingernails.

Old Path White Clouds: Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha
By Thich Nhat Hanh
Drawn from original sources, Old Path White Clouds is the beautiful classic recounting of the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha over the course of eighty years. If you read only one book on Buddhism, let it be this one. Thich Nhat Hanh, a monk, is one of the world's great teachers, and this life of Buddha is his masterpiece. Every chapter is a perfect gem, every idea put forth bears witness not only to the noblest spiritual tradition, but to the purity of heart of its author. This is literature of an everlasting kind. The art of narrative found here really has no equal in all of contemporary philosophical literature. Beautifully delicate line drawings accompany every chapter like a faint temple bell. Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese monk, a renowned Zen master, a poet, and a peace activist. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1967, and is the author of many books, including the best-selling The Miracle of Mindfulness.
Each of us has greatness within. That may sound cliché but it's true. You want to accomplish amazing things in your life and career. Some of us want to leave a powerful legacy. It isn't always easy. It requires vigilance and a high degree of commitment. Stephen McGhee works with people who want to convert potential into results. He supports and empowers his clients to live into their leadership possibilities. This is one of the most important choices of your life. http://www.mcgheeleadership.com/

By Gary Fauber
Assistant Sports Editor
Billy Wagner knows a thing or two about taking a positive from a negative. When he was a boy growing up in the small Virginia town of Tannersville in Tazewell County, he broke his right arm playing football.
Not once, but twice.
So, he decided to train himself to throw left-handed. All Wagner was able to accomplish as a lefty was a 15-year career as a pitcher in the Major Leagues as one of the most dominant closers of his generation.
Talk about a turnaround.
Today, Wagner is retired — Hall of Fame eligibility comes in 2016 — but he is not done with baseball. The 41-year-old right-handed southpaw is the head coach at The Miller School Academy, a private school located in Charlottesville, Va.
Wagner brought his Mavericks to Beckley Saturday for a couple of scrimmage games at Linda K. Epling Stadium. The results were not good for Miller, which struggled against Richlands, Va., and 2012 West Virginia Class AAA runner-up Nitro.
For now, results are not nearly as important as learning — and Wagner is doing plenty of teaching.
"You get to see the other side of the field, that's for sure," he said. "When you are molding young people, you have to be very confident and very secure in what you are teaching. You've got to be very patient — I am understanding that.
"It's a lot of fun. If I would have known it was going to be this much fun, I probably would have retired earlier. The kids are great, they work hard and they give you everything."
Miller has a very young roster, with only two seniors, two juniors and two sophomores — and a whole lot of eighth- and ninth-graders.
"They are green, but I love the competition," Wagner said. "I love coming out and playing in this (scrimmage), to give the guys an idea of what to expect. There's other teams around the country that are good, and we've got to get better."
Wagner was known for his fastball, which was regularly clocked in the upper 90s, so it probably comes as no surprise that he is big on the No. 1 when it comes to working with his pitchers. But that comes from philosophy, not personal preference.
Whether it tests the limits of a radar gun or approaches the plate with the urgency of a sloth, Wagner believes in an effective fastball.
"You've got to teach them to pitch with their fastball, because your bread-and-butter comes off your fastball," Wagner said. "It may not be the best fastball, but it's a pitch you're going to have to throw for strikes.
"So they've got to learn to locate, and when they don't they've got to see what happens. Every one of us who ever played this game had to learn this type of humility. Sometimes it's not the worst thing to see."
Wagner bringing his team to Beckley came about through his friendship with Tim Epling, manager of the West Virginia Miners and son of team and stadium owners Kay and Doug Epling. The two met in September through Brad Strong, the coach at Richlands and father of former Miners third baseman Bradley Strong.
"That allowed us to really (connect)," Wagner said. "We got to talking to each other, and now we talk all the time. He's a great guy and he does a great job and has some awesome teams here.
"I told him any time it would allow us (to come again), please have us come. It's entertaining, it's fun. It's a good opportunity, because we just came out of 18 inches of snow, so it was a lot of fun."
Wagner played for the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves. He had a career earned run average of 2.31 and amassed 422 career saves, fifth all-time in MLB history. He was a seven-time all-star and was the sixth and final pitcher in the Astros' combined no-hitter against the New York Yankees in an interleague game in 2003.
Not bad for a guy pitching with the wrong arm.
"I ended up being left-handed and things worked out," he said. "That's what we try to instill in these kids, that everything happens for a reason, and when adversity strikes you have to take advantage of it and let it motivate you and work hard. Eventually, they'll get it."

Conference registration is now open! And don't forget to bookmark our coverage blog as you prepare for the start of this year's National Conference!
The Educational Theatre Association's national Conference gives educators the opportunity to meet hundreds of theatre professionals during an event filled with workshops, networking lunches, and professional development programming. New next year, Conference will take place in July.
Theatre at the Core
Theatre is a recognized core subject that integrates a wide range of knowledge and teaches the most valued 21st century skills of education—creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. But in too many schools the opportunity for students to experience the art has diminished. To ensure that theatre is part of education reform, we need trained teachers like you who understand that "theatre at the core" means it is essential to every child's education.
Need to justify your attendance at Conference to your school administration? Don't forget to check out our justification toolkit!
All documents related to this event can be found in the EdTA National Conference library.
To learn more about Conference, visit the Theatre Education Community. All registered delegates will have access to a private community where they can obtain event resources and network with other attendees.

Haney among supporters of immigration reform law
Staff Report
Commonwealth Journal
Nancy —
Immigration reform is a hot topic in Ken-tucky just as much as in other areas like California or Texas. Here in Pulaski County, immigrant workers play a significant role in the agricultural economy.
Mark Haney, president of the Kentucky Farm Bureau who manages Haney's Appledale Farm, said Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) supports recently-intro-duced U.S. legislation that would provide a 10-year process toward gaining citizenship for undocumented immi-grants.
"We are enthusias-tically for it," Haney said. "In the agriculture economy, no one else seeks those jobs anymore. They just won't show up at the farm."
The bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. Senate also provides for a new category of Registered Provisional Immigrants and requires employers to track the status of those they hire. The legislation could have a significant impact on approximately 11 million immigrants currently living in the country without documented citizenship.
Haney said KFB worked with the American Farm Bureau which participated in negotiations in Washington as the bill was cobbled together. He said Farm Bureau support was tied to provisions to make it easier for the agriculture community to hire immigrant labor.
Haney said the seasonal demands of agricultural jobs makes it difficult to hire local labor, much of which in the past came from family or neighbors or high school students. But those days and that culture don't exist anymore.
The bill was cobbled together by a group of senators from both sides of the aisle, led by New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin and Republicans John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Mark Rubio of Florida. While the measure — or the outlines of the 844-page bill which have been made public — has drawn some criticism from both those seeking a more liberal policy and those demanding more border security and a tougher line on "amnesty," the initial reactions Wednesday seemed positive.
"Immigrant labor is absolutely essential to agriculture in Kentucky," said H.H. Barlow, who operates a 130-cow dairy farm near Cave City. "It has a major economic impact on Kentucky and on the $5 billion agriculture economy."
Barlow and Haney are both registered Republicans and both have lobbied Kentucky's two U.S. Senators, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, to support the legislation. Paul, who has said he is exploring a 2016 run for President, has recently endorsed at least some form of immigration reform as his party attempts to reach out to Hispanic voters.
Barlow said Paul has been sympathetic, while he said McConnell "is very aware about this issue and he's interested in how important it is to Kentucky." Krebs, the Lexington attorney, said he met with McConnell's staff who told him McConnell hopes for "a very robust debate," rather than a quick trip through committees in the Democratic-controlled Senate. But McConnell hasn't said if he'll support the measure.
McConnell issued a statement Wednesday on the bill through his Washington press office, saying he appreciates the work done by the bipartisan group of senators. "But in order for any reform to be successful, congressional committees will need adequate time to review it and write legislation through regular order," McConnell said. "And all members must have an opportunity to debate and amend any legislation that comes to the floor."

Battle of the Halls
Every first year hall is battling for the coveted title of "Best First Year Hall On Campus." Points are awarded through several battles, including a field day and a can collection, and through attendance at programs throughout the fall semester.
Trail Mixer with Dr. Barreneche
It is important that all residents recognize Dr. Barreneche as our Faculty in Residence. One of the first opportunities they have to interact with him is through our Open House Trail Mixer. All LLC students are invited to attend, create their own trail mix, mingle with their fellow residents, and chat with Dr. Barreneche.
LLC Sponsored Sporting Events
Each year we sponsor several sporting events throughout the year in order to share our school spirit and support our athletes! RAs pass out free popcorn, cotton candy, and sno-cones to anyone in attendance! The floor with the most residents present are rewarded!
Tour de 5 Minute Difference
It only takes a few minutes to make a huge difference! In all of our first year halls, tables are set up for students to walk by and donate a few minutes of their time to learn about service opportunities or participate in small activities like making sock puppets for sick children and signing cards for soldiers or the elderly. Students then tour to all the halls with their RA in order to enjoy every "5 Minute Difference."
Rollins Underground
The Office of Residential Life, the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Office of Community Engagement, the Office of Student Success, and the Office of Student Involvement & Leadership collaborate to bring the Rollins Underground to campus. This interactive event focuses on systems of privilege that may lead to oppression. Students, faculty and staff will take tours in small groups and encounter experiences that will allow them to learn more about privilege and ways they can advocate for underrepresented groups on and off campus.
Welcome Back BBQ
Dr. Barreneche, the Ward Hall Faculty in Residence, invites all the LLC residents to join him in celebrating the beginning of the spring semester. He graciously cooks burgers and hot dogs on one of our grills!
Epcot Leadership Day
Rollins has developed a wonderful relationship with Disney. In partnership with the Disney Internships and Programs Service Center, we are able to bring a bus load of Rollins students to Epcot! Rollins students have the opportunity to learn more about Disney-style leadership and network with current interns.
Professing Excellence
Rollins is well-known for the close and meaningful relationships that professors develop with their students. In order to recognize the professors who go above and beyond their job description, the Office of Residential Life developed a special event called Professing Excellence. Students are encouraged to nominate their favorite professors for the prestigious Professing Excellence Award. All nominated professors are invited to a celebration dinner in their honor in the company of the Provost, Dean of Faculty, Dean of Student Affairs, Director of Residential Life, faculty members, and other notable guests.
Academic Excellence
The Rollins Living Learning Communities strongly support the academic growth of their residents! Residents who have a GPA over 3.75 are celebrated with a certificate, a special gift, and cupcakes!
Service Trips
Not only is service an important part of the LLC experience, it is a value that Rollins as a whole embraces. In partnership with the Office of Community Engagement, we try to provide opportunities to service our community. One example is Habitat for Humanity. Students who participated were able to work on a Habitat for Humanity house being constructed right here in Winter Park!
LLC Progressive Dinner
The Living Learning Communities sponsors a progressive dinner through their homes: Ward Hall, Rex Beach Hall, and McKean Halls. The guests have a great night of mixing and mingling with residents from other buildings while enjoying a tasty dinner.

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
In Kansas City, we buy seasoned oak firewood from a woodyard that also supplies local barbecue joints — in fact, The Woodyard also sells barbecue. Frank delivers our wood every fall, and sometimes throws in a bag of kindling, but I don't really need it. The old maple tree in our front yard provides an endless supply of small sticks that are just right for starting a fire, and when I need more, I split a piece of firewood into kindling strips.
For years I used a small Swedish hatchet to do the job, but this year Fiskars supplied me with a new splitting axe, which has a longer handle than my old hatchet, an exceedingly sharp blade, and a satisfying heft. I set up a kindling yard in the garden and put it to the test.
Setting the kindling on a good-sized log placed securely on end raises it up and also provides a hard surface; if you split kindling on the ground, you'll end up driving your axe into the dirt, which dulls the blade. The area where you're splitting the wood should be clear of obstructions, of course.
I choose a piece of firewood without knots, set it on end on the log, and then bring the axe down on it. If the axe sticks in the firewood, pick the whole works up and drive it down on the stump a time or two until it splits. Just repeat this process as the pieces get thinner and thinner. A medium-sized piece of firewood is good for half a dozen pieces of kindling, or more, depending on how thin you like the pieces to be. Since they are the same length as your firewood, they're just right for the fireplace or woodstove. Once you get warmed up, you'll make several days' supply of kindling quickly.
We also like to use twigs and small branches broken into 12- or 18-inch lengths. Lumber scraps work well and are easy to split, and large pieces of bark will also help the firewood catch on.
Everyone seems to have their own style and technique for laying a fire. My husband and I start with half-sheets of crumpled newspaper, a few pieces of kindling, with two or three logs of good seasoned firewood on top. It's enough to get a crackling little fire going, and take the icy edge off the weather outside. How do you make kindling?

Nicholas David fans rejoice!
The singer, who took third place last year on NBC's "The Voice," will give a free, public performance at the Church of St. Joseph in Rosemount at 1 p.m. Thursday.
The singer graduated from St. Joseph School in 1995—long before he was catapulted into the national spotlight on NBC's televised singing competition. Now, he plans to perform "Over the Rainbow" with St. Joseph students as part of a community celebration. All are invited to attend the performance.
The Church of St. Joseph is located at 13900 Biscayne Ave. W., Rosemount. Turn east from Highway 3 (Robert Trail South) on Connemara Trail, then south on Biscayne Avenue West.
"We at St. Joseph and Dakota County and the entire Twin Cities simply want to congratulate our local humble hero," the Rev. Paul Jarvis wrote in an e-mailed invitation. "And the best way to celebrate what God has given us is to re-gift our giftedness to others."

A judge says a Georgia man who was convicted of stalking Tyra Banks won't go to jail but should get counseling.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke says Brady Green's defense lawyer should help his client get psychiatric counseling.
He says he should also help him find a job in "a location where he can thrive," and that "likely will not be the city of New York."
Burke convicted the 39-year-old resident of Dublin, Ga., of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment. He heard the case without a jury.
Defense lawyer Jeffrey Berman says he plans an appeal. Green had faced up to 90 days in jail at sentencing on June 18.

Feds worry transition to second Obama term will break their stride
- By Charles S. Clark
- November 26, 2012
- Leave a comment
Uncertainty over top-level vacancies during transitions between administrations can impede progress, even if a president is elected for a second term, according to nearly half the federal employees responding to a survey by Government Executive's research arm.
Past transitions slowed the progress of federal initiatives, according to 48 percent of the 500 experienced agency employees and managers answering a Nov. 7 survey from the Government Business Council. The same percentage said they had waited more than six months during previous transitions for a key position in their department to be filled, and 10 percent had seen their supervisor replaced.
Those who have previously been through a transition point to leadership as the main cause of problems. Fifty-five percent of respondents indicated that poor communication from leadership was a challenge, and 41 percent cited a lack of transparency. Respondents did not feel that the responsibility rests with employees. Just 26 percent said employee resistance to change complicated past transition efforts.
More than half (53 percent) reported they were "concerned" or "very concerned" about the current transition's impact on morale; some 43 percent voiced similar concern about its impact on national security.
The Obama administration is mulling replacing leaders at the Defense, State and Treasury departments, and has named a new head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is evaluating acting leaders at the CIA; the Commerce Department; the Internal Revenue Service; Office of Management and Budget; and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

CUSHING, Okla. —
Thursday at the Cushing Tournament was the best of times and worst of times for the Pawnee Lady Black Bears as they fell to Drumright 7-0 and beat Agra 13-0.
Drumright put the game away early with three runs in the first and added four in the second. Pawnee coach Chad Tsotigh said his team made a few mistakes defensively.
"We had a play at first we didn't get and allowed runners to advance," Tsotigh said. "One thing lead to another and we were behind 3-0. I have to give them credit, their pitcher threw well and made it difficult for us to get hits."
Chrissie Collins took the loss. Though Pawnee didn't score it got a pair of hits from Hannah Burkett.
In their second game, the Lady Black Bears jumped out to the lead as Burkett led off with an inside-the-park home run. Pawnee scored three in the first followed by seven in the second and three in the third to secure a run-rule. Burkett went 3 for 3 and also earned the win, only giving up two hits. Tsotigh said they hit the ball well against a strong pitcher in Agra's Amber Austin.
"(Austin) was throwing well," Tsotigh said. "Our girls were confident. Tori Stevens and Haley Van Deventer made solid contact. In the third I was able to put in some pinch hitters."
Pawnee (1-1) continues play with Cushing at 6 p.m. and Pawhuska at 7:30 p.m.
Agra (0-2) opened the tournament with an 8-2 loss to Cushing. The Lady Tigers (3-0) finished the first day with an 11-1 victory over Perkins-Tryon. Agra plays Pawhuska at 6 p.m. and Depew at 7:30 p.m. Cushing finishes Friday with Morris at 7:30 p.m.
Coyle 12, Mulhall-Orlando 8
COYLE — Playing on their home field for the first during fast-pitch season, the Coyle Lady Bluejackets got off on the right foot with a 12-8 victory over the visiting Mulhall-Orlando Lady Panthers.
It was a back-and-forth game early. The Lady Bluejackets (1-1) took a 2-0 lead in the first with Mulhall-Orlando (0-1) tying it in the second. The Lady Panthers followed with three runs in the third but the Lady Bluejackets rallied with four runs to take a 6-5 lead.
Mulhall-Orlando retook the lead in the fourth with three runs but Coyle exploded in the bottom half with six to put the game away. The Lady Bluejackets were also the beneficiaries of six Lady Panther errors. Caitlin Carnell was the leading hitter for Coyle with three hits and three runs scored. Shelby Jennings (1-0) earned the victory.
Coach Jennifer Vasquez said she was pleased with how her team hit the ball after they went hitless Tuesday in Morrison.
"It was really nice," Vasquez said. "They didn't have jitters and they were ready to get out there."
Mulhall-Orlando coach Melanie Day said her team did well but just wore out in the last inning.
"It was our first game. My pitcher hadn't pitched all summer and my catcher hasn't caught," Day said. "We just got tired. I'm really proud of them and hope they improve."
Rya Bay took the loss. Leading the Lady Panthers in hitting was Kellie Jerome. Day said she had a solid day at the plate.
"She hit two balls in the field and scored a couple of runs," Day said.
The Lady Bluejackets don't play again until Aug. 22 when they start play in the Glencoe Tournament. The Lady Panthers host Oklahoma Christian Academy at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
Glencoe 18, Mill Creek 0
VARNUM — The Glencoe Panthers strolled to an easy 18-0 victory over Mill Creek in their first game of the Varnum Tournament Thursday.
"It was terrible, it was a walk-fest," Glencoe coach Tony Cazzelle said. "They walked 15 batters."
When Glencoe (2-0) did get a pitch to hit, it took advantage as Claytin Beaver hit a two-run home run and Jake Lazenby hit a double. J.K. Hadlock (1-0) started and earned his first win of the season, pitching three innings and struck out five. Lazenby closed the game striking out two in the last inning.
The Panthers face the winner of Union City and Preston in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Friday.
"Union City had only nine players, so I don't know how good they are," Cazzelle said. "Preston is really young."

Did you run for your life? Add your photos and videos here, simply by clicking the upload buttons above or below the video.
I learned a few things about myself last weekend.
First of all, I am the last person you want by your side in the event of an actual zombie apocalypse. I will leave you high and dry to be some undead walker's entrée.
The second thing I learned about myself is that I have no trouble jumping into freezing water, crawling under barbed wire or electrified cables, or wading through mud—given the right motivation.
Of course I'm talking about the now annual Run For Your Lives zombie-inspired 5K/obstacle course that infected Darlington, MD last weekend. The two-day event was cut short in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy, but not before I—along with my two fearless companions—took a crack at surviving a zombie apocalypse.
Granted, I wouldn't be going outside and running across open farmland like the picturesque Camp Ramblewood, should the dead begin to walk the earth.
But it's all in good fun.
I was the only member of my rag tag team to survive, which meant I crossed the finish line (er, crawled across) with one of three orange "health" flags still affixed to my belt.
We encountered 250 "zombies" on a 3.1-mile run through mud bogs and open fields, over high walls and under barbed wire. Some of them behaved in the classic George A. Romero "Night of the Living Dead" stumbling style, where others adopted more of the 28 Days Later berserker/sprinter. We had Cockeysville native Kevin Chilcoat to thank for that.
To be honest, I broke out spin moves I hadn't used since playing flag football in college. I also took a page out of Mr. Miyagi's notebook, "waxing on" and "waxing off" encroaching snatchers.
Watch the video for yourself to see my tale of survival.
Warning: It was shot using a rugged Contour camera attached to the side of my head. The end result looks like Dawn of the Dead meets The Blair Witch Project.
This isn't Nick DiMarco's first time putting himself in front of the camera to try something new:
- Lord of the Rings (Nick learns to joust)
- MULTIMEDIA: Dawn of the Dead Patch Editor
- You Said It: Readers Celebrate National High Five Day

For the second straight season, what happens in Buffalo, stays in Buffalo. There will be no vacations in Vegas.
The NHL has begun announcing finalists for postseason awards, with the Calder Trophy nominees kicking off the honor roll today. It's the only category in which the Sabres had an outside chance of producing a finalist. Center Cody Hodgson, acquired from Vancouver at the trade deadline, finished third among first-year players with 19 goals and was fifth with 41 points.
Hodgson, however, failed to finish among the top three vote-getters. New Jersey Devils center Adam Henrique, Colorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog and Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins have been named this year's finalists for top rookie.
The winner will be announced June 20 at the awards show in Las Vegas.
The NHL will name the finalists for the Selke (top defensive forward) and Lady Byng (skill/sportsmanship) trophies Monday. The trios up for the Masterton Trophy (perseverance and dedication to hockey) and General Manager of the Year will be announced Tuesday, followed by the Vezina Trophy (top goaltender) on Wednesday. The Norris Trophy nominees for top defenseman will be named Thursday, with the hopefuls for the Hart Trophy (most valuable player to his team) coming next Friday. The finalists for the Jack Adams Award (top head coach) and NHL Foundation Player Award (community service) will close the roll call April 30.
The Professional Hockey Writers' Association, which has 15 members in the Buffalo chapter, votes for the Hart, Calder, Selke, Norris, Lady Byng and Masterton.

Good luck! And please come back and let us know how it goes.
Is this the first time you are on Narcatics for Pain??If so it could be why youe Dr. chose what he did!!Also Is he a new Dr. for you and is this your first back problem???That will help us sto thelp you more!
As I said I know alot about Pain and meds. SoI kinda have to disagree with Spencer because Methadone is not usually a med that a C
Dr. starts you out at!
Stay in touch I'm here for you.77grace
Its true, my Dr. wanted me on Tramadol, but that made me feel weird, so she put me on Methadone, with the oxycodone for breakthrough. Once I got to a 1000mg., she put me on Morphine. 700mg.'s is as far as this V.A. P.M.S. is willing to go. So, when I see him next month, we will be starting on something else. Maybe the methadone again, I don't know?
I hope you are as well as can be, take good care of yourself!
I realize that you've been on many advanced pain meds throughout the years.
Have you used Duragesic (fentanyl)?
For me, the SCS is my main pain management treatment.
I take MSC 45 mg BID, which is insanely low considering that I've been on opiate management for almost ten years.
Before SCS, I was using Duragesic 100 mcg and Oxy IR for bt, 30 mg three times a day.
Until I get my battery changed, my MD has written Oxy IR 15 mg BID. I'm trying to use it very judiciously, as I don't want to effect my tolerance.
Every silver lining has its cloud, right?
For me, Methadoen was the absolute best pain management med, but I could not tolerate the side effects.
Please keep us updated, okay?
My notification system was down, again, I guess? I got one today, so, here I am!
No, my P.M.D., nor my P.C.P. has ever suggested Fentanyl. Is that the patch, or a topical rub? I have tried the topical, the one with red peppers made me feel as if I caught on fire. I don't use the rubs anymore.
I have an appointment coming up, to see my P.M.D. at the V.A. Hospital, sometime in the very near furture. He wants to try me on something else, don't know what that might be? I know its going to be started at the lowest possible dose, and I am going to suffer for awhile. I hope its worth it? I also hope he will up the dosage of my Lyrica? It stopped helping a long time ago. Alas, and woe is me! LOL!!!
Have you received a date for the battery change, yet? I hope its soon, doing without surely hurts!!! I'm sure the oxy's only help a little, eh???
Every cloud does indeed have a silver lining! Keep your chin up, and keep fighting the good fight!
I kinda hope he puts me back on the Methadone, it seemed to really help, at first? Why can't you get Methadone?
Well, I wish you all the best, take care!!!
I have been on Methadone, but the side effects were very difficult for me. I take Morphine Contin 45 mg twice a day- that's a pretty low dose, far as I'm concerned, for me having been on opiate meds fro over-seven years. The SCS is my main mode of pain management, and I love it.
My PMD did prescribe Oxy IR, but I'm not taking them. I cannot perceive any diminishing of discomfort when taking them, so I do not bother.
This will be over soon. My OR date is 22 April. I wish that it was sooner, but I'm okay.
Regarding Duragesic/ fentanyl, I was referring to the patch/ transdermal. The rub that you tried was probably capsaicin (?spelling?), which is made from red pepper.
No, fentanyl patches are opiate med that is absorbed through your skin for systemic pain management. You can read about it:
Are you on Facebook?
A few of us who are regular participants on this site are also Facebook friends.
Keep in touch,
You have got to be in misery, and yet you say "I'm ok"? Wow, you are one strong lady!!! I have pretty much given up on complaining about my pain, even to my doctors. Why bother, they have nothing to really help me? This pain keeps me up pretty much all day, 24/7. Little sleep, if any, and no hope for getting any.
Oh yes, I have heard of that! I just wasn't sure what you meant. My doctor has never mentioned it to me, but when I see him next, I will bring it up. Too many people here, have said it helps them tremendously, so, why not?
The 22 is a long way off, yet. You are strong, you will make it!!! Is this like an in out type of surgery? Or will you have to stay overnight? I want to wish you a speedy recovery!!!
No, I am not on F.B., this is as close to a social network as I like to come. There are way too many bad people out there, that will just hack into your Page, and they could find anything they want. No thanks, I think I will just hang out here, sorry.
Yes, you got the spelling right, capsaicin. LOL!!! I no longer have the tube, but that seems right to me?
Thank you for taking an interest in my case! Now that I have kept in touch, I hope that you will, also? Take good care of yourself.
Thanks for your nice reply.
I am okay. It's not an easy time, but I have only seventeen days left, so, I know that my life will be improving soon.
My surgeon always schedules an over-night room for me, in case there is a reason that I cannot go home, but I've never had to stay overnight for any of the SCS and IPG change surgeries.
For now, my daughter and one of my friends are helping out. M daughter doesn't clean our house the way I clean, or the way I want it clean, but she's doing the best that she can. It's only housework, but I'm kind-of OCD. and she clearly is NOT.
Take care of yourself, too, Dennis, and thanks for the kind thoughts.
I just saw this post and I'm curious because I tske Methadone,what side affects botheredyou???I thought it had less than a lot of others!
Anyway,have a Gtreat day ,Love 77Grace
Although I found Methadone to help me with pain possibly more-than any other med, I ultimately discontinued.
For me, and side effects so vary person-to-person, I was constantly sweating and it was disgusting. It wasn't just sweating, it was more like the feeling of having a fever: cold sweats and just feeling yuck from it.
By the time I made the decision to change meds, I had become essentially housebound. I couldn't bathe, make-up, blow-dry my hair, and get dressed without the sweat dripping down my face and neck.
When this God-awful sweating kept me home from a family member's 85th birthday celebration, I had enough of it.
For some, the sweating is worth the pain relief. For me, it was a quality of life issue. I couldn't live with it, so my PMD changed me to MSContin. It's still an adverse effect that I despise, but it effects me far less than with the Methadone.
It's a wonderful pain med, just not for me.

Welcome to the SUX Political Party official website.
Most of us agree with some of the BNP`s promises yet we agree that they have been tarnished by the heavy handed immigration problem so i have a solution to this. I am starting my own political party as long as i get some supporters that agree with my proposals which are available on the top menu.
We need to say no to all other parties due to seeing no change in politicians ideas since ww2, we are in need of change and we need to gain control over our own lives and stop these political parties from running amok doing the same old things that they have done over the past 60 years.
This is a satrical look at what a lot of people in the uk have mentioned in chatting over various quantities of alcahol.
The Magna Carta States that Freemen on the land if they do not agree with the crown or governments Acts and bylaws may go into Lawfull Rebellion under article 61 of the Magna Carta 1215 we the population of the united kingdom kindly request that the judges, police, and council members work towards the common law of this land.
I am am still learning freeman law so i am posting the full text explaining Lawfull Rebellion from the freemanleague.com below
What is Lawful Rebellion?
The word 'Lawful' is defined as 'Being within the law; allowed by law' and the word Rebellion as 'Refusal to accept some authority or code or convention; An act or show of defiance toward an authority or established government'.
So Lawful Rebellion is a refusal to conform to an unjust authority that is sanctioned by, or in accordance with law.
Under article 61 of Magna Carta 1215 we have a right to enter into lawful rebellion if we feel we are being governed unjustly.
Do you think that we are being governed unjustly?
Ask yourself:
- Did you want to join the European Union?
- Did you want to go to war with Iraq or Afghanistan?
- Did you want to bail out the banks?
- Did you ask to be constantly monitored by CCTV cameras?
This is a simple safeguard put in place to protect our freedoms. Our ancestors knew there could be a problem one day if the crown became unjust, or turned into some sort of dictatorship, or parliament was acting against the people, or was full of corruption, or was not allowing the crown to keep its oath.
So in article 61 of the Magna Carta it was written that if this ever happened you could petition the crown to sort out the crown's or parliament's problem, the crown had 40 days to fix it or dissolve parliament.
If, after 40 days, nothing was fixed the petitioner could go into rebellion against the crown and parliament under the full protection of our Constitutional Law until the problem was resolved.
By invoking article 61 we are quite clearly stating that we feel we are being governed unjustly and excercising our right go into 'lawful rebellion', and in doing so we would no longer have allegiance to the crown or parliament because they had become corrupt etc, we may peacefully act to hinder in any way possible all actions of the treasonous government of this land, in order to bring to an end the corruption or injustice within the system. It is law that we can do this, and we are actually obeying the law by doing it, because it is the peoples duty to fight corruption and uphold the law.
Lawful rebellion allows for the following:
- Full refusal to pay any forms of Tax, Fines and any other forms of monies to support or benefit the unlawful government of this country.
- Full refusal to abide by any Legislation or Statute 'Law' invalidly put in place by an unlawful government in breech of the Constitutional safeguard.
- To peacefully hinder in any way possible all actions of the treasonous government of this land, who have breeched the Constitutional safeguard.
Because our constitution cannot be repealed, it is still valid law.
Lawful rebellion is the cornerstone of the Freeman League Society, in order to detach yourself from society, it is vitally important that you have officially revoked the your consent to be governed and have entered into lawful rebellion.
We all know that should a significant portion of us manage successfully to live outside their system that the government will seek to regain contol over us by any means it deems necessary and it will quote law (statute law) to justify itself.
For those who have revoked their consent to be governed according to article 61 of the Magna Carta 1215 there can be no such justification, it would be like a store manager of Tesco's trying to enforce a company rule from the employee's handbook on a passing Traffic Warden, however, if you do happen to work for Tesco's then those rules are law and Tesco's can insist that you follow them or take action against you.
Similarly, if you have not officially entered into lawful rebellion then the government will demand that you conform to its rules and feel justified in taking action against you if you do not follow them.

Amber Heard, the 25 year old actress has "come out" in a lot of ways this year, but we surely didn't expect her to be seen driving the 68′ Ford Mustang, in perfect condition might I add. Apparently Amber Heard has always loved muscle cars ever since she was a little girl. It should come to no surprise that she used to drive both a '67 Mercedes and a '62 Checker Cab. Impressive.

EARL W. BASCOM "The life of a cowboy and the West, I know," stated Earl Bascom
Cowboy of Cowboy Artists
In 1906, Earl Bascom was born in a log cabin on the 101 Ranch in Utah and raised on a ranch in Canada. He was the son of a deputy sheriff and grandson of Mormon pioneers. Earl Bascom had a wide range of western experience as a professional bronc buster, cowpuncher, trail driver, blacksmith, freighter, stagecoach driver, miner, trapper, wolf hunter, wild horse chaser, rodeo champion, cattle rancher and dude wrangler. Bascom was also a Hollywood movie actor alongside Roy Rogers. Earl Bascom was the last living link to the Old West in the entire art world.
Earl Bascom cowboyed and worked on some of the largest horse and cattle ranches in the United States and Canada. He broke and trained hundreds of horses, chasing wild horses in the badlands of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Canada. He worked on cattle drives out of the Rockies and trailed horses over the Teton Mountains. Bascom was acquainted with lawmen and outlaws, Indians and Indian fighters, gunslingers, squatters and homesteaders.
A Hall of Fame cowboy, Earl Bascom rodeoed for twenty-five years, gaining international acclaim, winning second place in the North American Championship, setting a new World Record, and placing third in the Championship of the World. During his rodeo career, Bascom competed in events of bareback, saddle bronc, bull riding, steer riding, steer wrestling, steer decorating, wild cow milking, and wild horse racing. He worked as a rodeo producer, stock contractor, rodeo announcer, pickup man, hazer, rodeo clown and bullfighter.
Earl Bascom is known in rodeo history as the inventor, designer and maker of the first hornless bronc saddle (1922) and the first one-hand bareback rigging (1924), both of which are now used world-wide at all professional rodeos. In 1926, Earl designed and made rodeo's first high-cut riding chaps which are in standard use today.
Known as the "Bronc-Bustin' Bascom Boys", Earl and his brothers Raymond, Melvin and Weldon were rodeo pioneers being involved in just about every aspect of the sport in its formative years. In 1916, at their ranch arena in Welling, Alberta, the Bascom boys designed and built history's first side-delivery rodeo chute. In 1919, Earl and his father, John W. Bascom designed and built rodeo's first reverse opening rodeo chute. In 1935, Earl and Weldon produced Columbia, Mississippi's first rodeo which is now declared to be the first night rodeo held outdoors under electric lights. In 1936, Earl Bascom designed and constructed Mississippi's first permanent rodeo arena.
After his award-winning rodeo career, Earl Bascom became an internationally-known western artist and sculptor. He was the first cowboy elected a Fellow of the prestigious Royal Society of Arts of London, England, and the oldest cowboy ever elected a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Artists Association. Earl Bascom possessed artistic talents inherited from the family bloodlines, being a cousin to western artist Charles M. Russell (through Charles's mother, Mary Elizabeth Mead) and a cousin to master sculptor Frederic S. Remington (through Frederic's mother, Clarissa Bascom Sackrider). Earl Bascom was the last remaining cowboy artist who lived when both Remington and Russell were alive and producing master art work.
Earl Bascom rodeoed from 1916 to 1940 and had memberships in the early-day Cowboys' Turtle Association, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association and the National Police Rodeo Association.
He was declared "Rodeo's First Collegiate Cowboy," being the first man to finance his way through college, starting in 1933 and graduating in 1940.
For his talents and achievements, Earl Bascom was listed in Who's Who in American Art, Who's Who in Western Writers of America, Who's Who in the West, Who's Who in California, Who's Who in America, and Who's Who in the World.
In life Earl Bascom followed faithfully his own philosophy - "If you want to be a champion bull rider, you have to ride the toughest bull."
Earl Bascom rode into that big arena in the sky - a champion - on August 28, 1995. He was the last of a rare breed - the Cowboy of Cowboy Artists.

Born on Sept. 10, 1974 and raised in New Castle, DE, as a kid, Phillippe played soccer and achieved a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but his school did not have a theater department so he never considered acting. Around the age of 14, though, he became enamored of the film "Cool Hand Luke" (1967) and subsequently anything Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and similarly complicated tough guys. He decided he wanted to learn about acting, reading any books he could find on the subject.
