And That's a Wrap! AND THAT’S A WRAP! Totems Fall Apart, Lone Stars Capture Division in Final Games HONOLULU - One should assume that the final ​ games of the 2015 FBA Regular Season would not be without controversy, and sure enough - many teams ended April 29th celebrating graciously or shaking their heads in despair. The latter was the case for the Edmonton Totems. Once the front-runner of the Mountain Division, they dropped 19 of their last 23 games, and miraculously, they could have still made the playoffs. But the Santa Ana Spectrums - one of the best assemblies of raw talent in 2015 - did not rest up in Game 80, and the Totems opened the door for either the Santa Fe Whips, or the Hawaii Kahunas, to take the coveted eighth spot of the Western Conference. After Santa Fe failed to budge the Montana Howlers, Hawaii’s close win over the Las Vegas Wildcards was enough to give the Kahunas their first playoff berth in history by virtue of divisional wins. For what it’s worth, the Kahunas will now have to prove their worth against the Spectrums when playoffs begin on May 6th. Good luck! (Right): Luukas Hirvonen and Narkissa Kassius watch in despair in the remaining seconds of their loss against the Santa Ana Spectrums in Edmonton. (Bottom): Dylan Redfield walks off the floor of Arctic Tundra Arena, after losing by three to the Arctics. The loss secured the Texas Lone Stars to win the division in the final game of the season.

This was unusual. His outfit consisted of a teal tunic, vest, and short-cropped pants. This was also unusual. Both of these things were Danny’s fault. As to the first, the older toucan had decided that his Argentine cousin needed to get out for an evening. He did this from time to time, calling his brief interventions “check-ups”; tonight’s was the first of the series to exceed meeting up for a meal. While a portion of Seba appreciated his concern, a much larger portion suspected that he was specifically tasked with monitoring the new college student, uprooted and planted in foreign soil a mere two months ago, in order to assuage their mothers’ worry. As to the second, the night’s check-up and Seba’s attire were occasioned by a party Danny was hosting to celebrate that odd American holiday called “Halloween.” As Seba fretfully crammed in whatever studying he could before he saw his cousin’s car pull up, he watched his roommates don their various guises to mingle across campus, where throngs of students (he had heard, and did not doubt) sought to cure their sobriety even more vigorously than on most weekends. He closed the blinds when passersby began displaying lewd feathery body language inappropriate for public display. At least Seba’s outfit was less flashy than his face. Of course, a toucan beak was hard to beat in that department and uncommon, meaning that he’d gotten a few compliments on his “mask” that day. Danny, standing amid the disaster that was Seba’s roommates’ sense of order, wore a similarly understated, but anachronistic outfit: a scoop-necked, loose-sleeved red shirt. Seba would have reminded Danny that he looked absurd if silliness weren’t one of his cousin’s preferred modes of interaction. “Ready?” Danny asked, cocking his head and an eyebrow. “Y supongo que sí.” [ I suppose so.] Seba replied. He invariably reverted to Spanish around … … family. Despite the campus’ heavy Latino population, English still dominated its conversations, and Seba was glad for whatever respite he could get from unfamiliar words clambering off his tongue. What English he had learned through the dint of self-study in Argentina had proven merely sufficient, and the parts of the language he did not encounter in his classes still washed over him uncomprehended. “Y bueno! Vámonos!” That was one good thing about Danny: he followed Seba’s lead back into Spanish without prompting, his own accent tinted with his father’s Brazilian drawl. A little small talk about Seba’s classroom and basketball activities accompanied them out to the waiting car, a script each check-up had come to follow. Danny offered his diagnosis: “Tudo bom, eh?” Seba nodded and jimmied open the car door. “Tudo bom.” Folding himself into the passenger’s seat, he adjusted it back to accommodate his lanky legs and guided his tailfeathers between the seat and its back. Danny got in on the other side. The moment he shut the door, Danny donned a conspiratorial smile and turned to face Seba. “Okay, so. When we get to my apartment, I’m going to burst in the door and go ‘Miguel and Tulio!’ ”—he … spread out his arms and wingfeathers—“ and you’re going to follow me and go, ‘Tulio and … Miguel!’ ”—he mirrored his previous gesture—“ and then we’re going to act all tough and say, … … ‘MIGHTY AND POWERFUL GODS!’” Seba stared at his cousin, who was sporting a wide-eyed grin and flexing behind the steering wheel. Seba’s eyes were wide below a furrowed, bemused brow. After a moment and the prompting of another flex, he verbalized his mental reaction: “Bieeeen ” [Ooookay ] … … “Aw, c’mon, tucancito!” Danny said.

    The Write Way to Act by Laura J. Phillips Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the English Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2015 The Write Way to Act Laura J. Phillips I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Laura J. Phillips, Student Date Approvals: Dr. Jeffrey Buchanan, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Steven Brown, Committee Member Date Dr. William Greenway, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT The Write Way to Act addresses the pedagogy of utilizing composition, sociolinguistics and second language acquisition in developing a character for the stage. The assertion is that aspects of the English discipline can be applied by the method actor through the composition of a Character’s Diary, which takes into consideration important theories of sociolinguistics and second language acquisition, to develop a deeper and more meaningful connection to any character an actor may embody. Furthermore, this connection can be re-acquired almost immediately either before a performance or while onstage because the Character’s Diary reveals memories of the character that the actor can relate to and draw upon for emotional recall. This thesis not only addresses the theoretical aspects of such pedagogy but also offers a blueprint of application through my own personal ethnographic study in which I successfully applied this theory to my own character when taking on the role of Mama in, I Remember Mama.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

The original Charlie’s Angels star posted a new photo to Instagram that left fans wondering how she stays so looking young at age 73 – and how she can still work those high heels. In a new photo, Smith, who has a birthday later this month, posed in a hot pink skater dress from her clothing line. But it was her shoes—and her incredibly toned legs—that really caught fans’ attention. In the pic, Smith is wearing super-high two-toned pink pumps as she stands on a patio, and her muscular calves are on full display. Fans hit the comments section to remark on the “ageless beauty” who first graced TV screens back in 1976 when she played Kelly Garrett on the hit ABC detective drama, Charlie’s Angels. “The elegant Jaclyn Smith,” one fan wrote. “Girl is still looking sharp!” another added. “Omg Kelly is serving looks!!!! Loving it from head to toe,” a third fan chimed in. “Love,” another follower wrote. “Now long can you stand in those beautiful high heels?” This is not the first time Smith has wowed Instagram fans with a killer pose. Earlier this year, the gorgeous grandma posed in a red minidress as she teased a new project. You can see Jaclyn Smith’s stunning new Instagram photo below. As for the secrets to Smith’s still-stunning shape, it doesn’t hurt that she’s a former ballet dancer, which also helps explain those toned legs.
